European elegance and comfort--the real thing!!
"I LOVE these shoes!! They are comfortable and so classy!! I have wide feet from living in Florida and wearing sandals so often, but these shoes fit from the minute I put them on..I went out to dinner with them that very same night and wore them for hours, with no problem. They are REAL leather!! and I love the pewter color, so much more versatile than silver or gold. The price, for the quality, is amazing. You won't be sorry if you purchase these...if there are any left!!"

Cute and comfy
"I run between a 7 and 7.5 - I got these in the 7 and they fit perfectly. The leather softens up very quickly to conform to the foot. This is the first day wearing them and they already feel broken in. Love the pewter color."

Love 'em even with a wobble
"I love this shoe! I ordered the platinum to go with a multi-colored dress.I was thrilled when I got them - they are lovely & I am a huge fan of the all-over texture the weave creates.These are solid, simple, funky shoes.I purchased them for an outdoor wedding, wore them all night, and could have kept going.For the first few hours it felt like I was wearing SNEAKERS!I needed a drink, so I jogged uphill to the bar - no joke.For dancing during the reception they were great, classic wedge feel of a chunk of shoe - so, not articulate - but still comfortable.TWO ISSUES:Terrain: While they were terrific on flat surfaces, they weren't fabulous on the uneven terrain of the site. They were ok, but seemed a little extra rocky/unbalanced -Sizing: I wasn't sure which size to go for, and they didn't have half sizes - I'm a 7.5 or 38 usually, but the sizes were listed as only whole, American sizes - so I ordered an 8 ... but I received a 38. I'm still a little confused about what happened there. But it's all good, because they fit perfectly!"

Omega-3 Calamarine® is a clean and sustainable way to boost your dietary intake of healthy omega-3's
- Dr. Sinatra's preferred DHA-to-EPA ratio of omega-3's for heart, brain and eye health
- A "no-fishy" burps way to supplement your diet with healthy omega-3's
- Promotes healthy blood pressure, blood vessels, circulation and blood viscosity
- Supports endothelial function and vascular tone
- Supports normal platelet aggregation and vascular elasticity
- Promotes a normal inflammatory response
- Supports the health of your eyes, brain, lungs, bowel and skin
- Developed by integrative cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra
My Omega-3 Calamarine is the same trusted Calamarine found in all of my Omega Q Plus® products, giving you my recommended ratio of DHA to EPA for heart and whole-body support.
Bodies of research indicates that a diet rich in DHA omega-3's helps support not only your heart and vascular system, but also cognitive function, memory and eye health. This isn't surprising, given the fact that DHA comprises 30–40% or more of the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and eyes. But DHA is harder to obtain through diet alone, and ordinary fish oils typically give you more EPA than DHA.
Both EPA and DHA are important for heart health. In fact, supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease as part of a healthy diet.
I recommend supplementing with more DHA because emerging research shows that DHA plays a greater role in cardiovascular health than previously thought. Studies show that DHA is better able to promote normal blood pressure, healthy blood vessel function, and healthy triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels.
Good for your heart and for our global ecosystem
When you take Omega-3 Calamarine for your own good health, you can also feel great about the fact that this oil is sustainably sourced and won't upset our delicate global ecosystem, like over-fishing for ordinary fish oil has done.
Most fish-sourced omega-3s come from sardines and anchovies. And the growing demand for fish oil has seriously depleted stocks of these fish, which is a threat to the ecology of our oceans.
But the omega-3s in Calamarine come from calamari (squid) that are caught in pristine South American waters and have a very short life cycle, meaning there is a constantly renewing supply and no threat of over-fishing.
The squid is then processed in a state-of-the-art Norwegian facility, yielding a clean oil that's easy on your digestive system, with no unpleasant smell. And, it isn't the least bit "fishy" tasting…in fact it has no taste at all! 9 out of 10 Calamarine users reported NO FISHY BURPS!*.
*According to a July 2015 Qualtrics Consumer Study of Calamarine product users with 118 responses.
Scientific Research Results Confirm the Benefits of A Diet Rich in DHA
Growing research shows DHA (not EPA), is the omega-3 your body needs most…
- DHA helps your blood pressure
- Your arteries need DHA
- DHA supports your circulation
- DHA supports your ability to think
- Your eyes require DHA for normal function
In a 2 softgel daily dose of Omega-3 Calamarine, you get 570 mg of DHA and 250 mg of EPA—a heart-healthy balance that I highly recommend.
Make the switch to my heart healthy source of omega-3s
For reasons both therapeutic and green, I believe Omega-3 Calamarine is the very best source of heart-healthy omega-3s. And my Omega-3 Calamarine supplement, makes it easy for you to get the exact DHA-to-EPA omega-3 ratio I recommend for your heart and overall good health!
You can safely add Omega-3 Calamarine to any of my omega formulas you're already taking for extra heart health support. Or you can use it as a stand-alone omega-3 in your supplement regimen. Get started today with this exceptional heart health supplement!

Dr. Sinatra Says:
"As a cardiologist, I have long recommended supplementing with omega-3s, particularly with sources naturally high in DHA. For this reason, I do not recommend krill, as they contain minimal quantities of this critical omega-3. I also find the scientific literature supporting their improved bioavailability unimpressive and inconclusive. On top of that, krill are notoriously smelly shellfish, typically requiring manufacturers to add 'masking' flavors like vanilla. All-in-all, the cons far outweigh the pros for me to recommend it as a source of heart-healthy omega-3s."

Science and Quality
A high-quality source of heart-healthy DHA
The ability of the body to convert plant-based omega-3s (ALA) to EPA, and subsequently DHA, is very low even in healthy individuals. And DHA is especially difficult to obtain from plant-based omega-3s. Virtually no DHA is converted from ALA: One study showed that only 0.04% is converted to DHA1 and another study showed healthy males converted only 4%.2
Blood pressure
Research shows that DHA supplementation has a better effect on promoting normal blood pressure levels than EPA.
- In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, subjects were given purified supplements of EPA or DHA (4 grams) or placebo for 6 weeks. Researchers found that DHA was superior to EPA for supporting healthy blood pressure levels. DHA (but not EPA) also helped reduce heart rate. It was also found that EPA supplements had no effect on raising blood phospholipid levels of DHA, indicating that the body has a difficult time converting EPA supplements to DHA.3
- DHA is also better at improving vasodilation and endothelial function (as measured by forearm blood flow) in these same subjects.4
Blood Lipids
EPA and DHA have been shown to have favorable effects on blood lipids, including triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and lipid particle size, all important measures of cardiovascular health. While it appears that both EPA and DHA help to lower triglycerides (dosages greater than 2 grams daily), research suggests that DHA is the omega-3 that is responsible for increasing HDL cholesterol levels in the body.5
Overall heart health
In a study of postmenopausal women, those with the highest levels of DHA (and not EPA or ALA) showed significantly better coronary artery health over a 3-year period.6 Similarly, in men, research shows that higher levels of DHA (and lower levels of saturated fat) are associated with better coronary artery health.7
Brain and cognitive health
- DHA is highly concentrated in the brain, comprising 40% of the EFAs found there. It facilitates nerve cell communication, increases neurotransmitter synthesis, is part of mitochondrial cell membranes and acts as an antioxidant.8
- Research suggests that high dose omega-3 supplementation (2.8 grams per day) may also help support attention and various cognitive functions, according to a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in healthy subjects.9
Eye health
- Studies show that a higher DHA intake supports eye health.10
- DHA makes up 30–40% of the fatty acids found in the rod outer segments of the eyes' photoreceptors, making it the predominant essential fatty acid in the retina.
- Preliminary research suggests that omega-3s may also help with natural tear production, helping to keep eyes moist and hydrated.11

Parallel Paths
Jonathan Willis
July 08 2011 10:55AM
Objects on a parallel course give us an interesting example of unification and divergence. On the one hand, they are travelling along the same path, moving towards a common destination, and they never diverge from that path. On the other hand, they never converge; that is to say that despite all the similarities of their path they remain as far apart from each other at the end of their course as they did at the beginning.
What on Earth am I talking about here?
The funny thing about advanced statistics is that the ones I find most useful – the ones I consult frequently when evaluating players – are representative of items that any qualified, diligent observer would pick up just from watching a lot of games.
Take Quality of Competition and Quality of Teammates. There probably isn't a fan of the game that fails to understand the relative value of playing with Ales Hemsky versus the relative value of playing with Steve MacIntyre. It's an axiomatic truth: line-mates impact performance. Similarly, down through hockey history there has always been a certain cachet that comes with shadowing top players. Don Cherry preached it as a coach and it goes back well before his day.
What QualComp and QualTeam do is put a number to these values. This is important, for a couple of different reasons. The first is that the average fan isn't especially good at picking out who plays top opposition, all by themselves. For years now – certainly the entirety of the post-lockout era, probably longer – power vs. power (where the top players face each other) has been the preferred matchup for most NHL coaches. Despite this, fans have persisted in identifying third-line as the guys facing the stars. Sometimes it's true, especially in the past – Todd Marchant held the role for a time in Edmonton, while Anaheim and New Jersey have both had extended periods where they used a checking line – but as a rule it doesn't happen. Carefully watching matchups is one way of doing it, and in my experience the matchups rather closely mirror QualComp.
The second reason is that even if a fan is careful about watching how a coach runs his lines, it is all but impossible to watch enough games to properly evaluate all 30 teams, particularly as injuries start accumulate and lineups get jigged around.
QualComp is a help in both areas – it serves as a sanity check for personal observations on a team one follows closely, and it provides data for teams that one person simply doesn't have time to follow in-depth. It shouldn't be regarded as something alien: it simply condenses a task that any competent observer should be doing in the first place.
Zone Starts are a similar statistic. A competent observer who watches a lot of games can generally tell you which players are relied on for shifts in their own end, and which players get used in a lot of offensive situations. He knows that these things matter – players on the ice in their own end a lot not only have a higher chance of getting scored on (especially off a lost faceoff) but to get a scoring chance of their own they must travel 200 feet, penetrating increasingly sophisticated defensive schemes, all the while knowing that every deke and every pass could be picked off and lead to a chance against. A player having a perfect shift might spend 30 seconds chasing the puck in his own end and 10 seconds getting the puck up ice, but be forced to dump it in to get the line change. He just played a perfect shift but never got an opportunity to score.
The reverse is true as well. A player starting in the offensive zone has a higher chance of scoring a goal (especially following a successful faceoff), and even if his team loses possession he now has 200 feet to reclaim the puck, and any mistake by the opposition can lead to a scoring chance. Off a won faceoff, this player could spend 30 seconds moving the puck around the offensive zone but never threatening, chase it up ice for 10 seconds, and then get the change while the other team is changing – his line played a miserable shift, but they got away with it because the centre won an offensive zone faceoff.
These contextual statistics matter a lot when it comes to evaluating players. Coaches know them without needing to glance at numbers – they're the ones deciding when and where to use these players. Competent observers that watch a lot of games involving one team know them too, and appreciate the difficulty or ease of the role each player plays – and they probably have a very good idea for teams in the same division and a good idea of teams in the same conference. A casual fan, the guy who watched 15 games this year and was sober for the first period (special exemption for fans of the Oilers/Leafs, where the games encourage drunkenness as a lifestyle choice), probably doesn't have a clue.
Corsi and Fenwick are a little more esoteric, but they do fit with something coaches have been doing for decades: collecting scoring chances. Even coaching staffs that don't physically count scoring chances (and these days, I suspect those are rare indeed) consciously evaluate a player's two-way game. In a battle between Corsi and scoring chances, I'll always defer to scoring chances, but the fact is we simply don't have scoring chance data for every team – and both Corsi (shots, missed shots and blocked shots for minus the same against) and Fenwick (shots and missed shots for minus the same against) closely mirror scoring chances – something that's been shown time and again.
All those fancy numbers really boil down to a very simple concept, something coaches have been doing since the game turned professional – evaluating a player's two-way game and noting context while doing so.
Getting back to the introduction, I find a lot of the 'advanced stats vs. watching the game' style discussions to be unhelpful and rather pointless. If one watches the game closely, think there's more to playing hockey than scoring goals and adding assists, and believe that how a coach uses a player has a big impact on how successful he is, they won't disagree with the statistics on much – at most, it will probably be a stylistic argument, on the relative value of hitting and fighting in today's game, or an argument of degree ('sure X played tough minutes, but he still ought to have produced more'), or an argument about specific situations ('Y is a good player generally, but can't elevate his game when it counts').
Are those important distinctions? Yes. However, in the main, proponents of both schools are looking for the same thing.

@Jonathan Willis
It's starting to become more clear, thanks.
Why do you hate Spanish people so much? You are just a hater!
According to "Stats" at C&B, Jones was terrible. Why was he signed?
According to "Stats" at C&B, Jones was terrible. Why was he signed?
Jones was a sinkhole when it came to scoring chances. And really why was he resigned? Apparently Smyth made his request after the season was over and Lombardi and ST have been talking since. So if the possibility of Smyth coming over esisted what was the need to overpay Jones? Now we will be paying 1.5 million a year to a 4th line penalty killer.

Married Velma Winn, May 22, 1948 in Price.
Paul was a longtime resident of Carbon County where he worked in various building trades in the area. He loved working with his hands and there wasn't anything he couldn't fix or build. Paul was very resourceful and he was our "MacGyver" who could solve just about anything.
Paul was a retired member of the United Mine Workers of America, U.S. Steel Local # 1206. Honorably served his country in the US Army during World War II. He enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and collecting guns. Paul will be sorely missed by his family and many longtime friends.

GREEN RIVER-Charles P. Brady, age 85 returned to his Father in Heaven on Friday morning, March 7, 2008 in Price, with his loving wife Jean by his side. Chuck was born March 12, 1922 in Queens Village, NY., the oldest of two sons, born to Charles and Augusta Brady.
Chuck grew up in New York and graduated from Bayside High School in 1940. After high school Chuck enrolled at Alfred University, in Alfred, N.Y. It was there that he met the love of his life, Jean Marie Gardner. He enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and during the first leave of absence Chuck and Jean were married in San Antonio, Texas, in 1944. Chuck served his country during WWII, and was discharged honorably in 1946.
Chuck graduated from Alfred University in 1948. Following graduation they moved to California, where Chuck took employment as a ceramic engineer. While in California Chuck and Jean joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which has been very important to him throughout his life. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Logan LDS Temple in 1962.
Chuck worked as a ceramic engineer for more than 20 years retiring in 1974 while living in Arvada, Colo. Chuck and Jean then purchased a ceramic shop and operated it together for more than 10 years, working side by side everyday.
They moved to Green River in June of 2006 to live with their son and his family.
Chuck was an honest, hard working, loving man who always put his wife and family first. He was dedicated to his wife, and loved serving with her in the Denver LDS Temple, as temple workers. He loved the Gospel, being in the outdoors, working in the yard and most of all being with his family.
Chuck is survived by his loving wife, Jean of Green River, children: Robert (Lydia) Brady of Nampa, Idaho, Nancy (Dale) Braithwaite of Huntington Beach, Calif., Patrick (Kathleen) Brady of Green River, Susan (Michael) Moore of Longmont, Colo., Kathryn (Keith) Nannie of Torrance, Calif., brother: Richard (Bridget) Brady of Oldsmar, Fla., 27 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Green River sewer project was recently completed. The project has been a long time coming to take the strain off the old overloaded system. The new system consists of four lift stations located strategically across town. The sewer comes into the lift station and is fed through a grinder.
When the system becomes so full the pumps turn on and pump it to the next station. The sewer moves along the 12" pipes by the pull of gravity to the next lift station which is located near the golf course. From there it goes to lift station four which is south of lift station two and near the railroad tracks. Each lift station contains cedar chips to absorb the odor. The chips are wet down automatically in the summer to keep the odor down. This isn't necessary in the winter when the smell isn't bad.
The pipeline project took approximately seven months, as pipe was installed throughout the city. A manhole was installed every 300-400 feet to allow for maintanence and pumping. The city owns a vacuum truck and a jet rodder for maintenance operations.
From there it is pumped into the lagoons where it evaporates. The pumps at lift station four are larger because that is where everything ends up and is pumped on into the lagoons.
City workers said, "The new system gives us a lot more capacity and the smell has improved 100 percent. Even though the lagoons are quite a ways out of town, you could still smell the odor down in town when the wind blew. We have a big demand on our systems. Our town has 600 motel rooms and they really taxed the old system. The new system will take care of all those drainage problems.
"The sewer lagoons have floating pipes through which air is pumped into the water. This aeration system keeps the oxygen going into the water. When the first pond is full the water will syphon into the other ponds. The fourth pond is the evaporation pond. We have goats at the ponds now that eat the weeds and keep them under control. We used to have to come out and take care of all the weeds, but the goats have solved that problem.
"We don't have any algae or moss or anything on the ponds. We have a lot of water fowl that live out here and a lot that stop in as they are passing through. The birds out here are amazing and fun to watch. The goats all have fresh water to drink," they said.
David Chartier from SunRise engineering explained the funding breakdown for the project. Green River City obtained a loan from the Water Quality board for $870,000; they also received a grant of $455,000 from the Water Quality Board. A loan from the USDA Rural Development in the amount of $584,000 and a grant from the USDA for $600,000.
Mayor Glen Johnson is happy with the successful sewer project, and the bottom line is: "It just smells a whole lot better," he said.

Don't understand the huge gap between Johnson and Brown.
Harrison Choate
3Z-2T -- he does three turns into the 2T.
3F - holds on
Not his best effort (his words: "That was tragic!" said in a good humored way), but he had fun in the step sequence at least and he does have some cool transitions.
Choate is being a riot in the K&C.
27.52 + 30.14 = 57.66 (6th out of 6 skaters)
Anyone else having issues with the IN feed? It's most likely my craptastique internet and computer but figured I would ask.
Tough skate for Stephen
Stephen Carriere
3A- two foot, wonky landing
3L - quad was planned?
3Z-2T (tano)
Not his best effort. But I love the quality of his skating and he has good speed; I'm glad he's still around.
28.80 +33.97 = 62.77 (6th out of 7 skaters)
^I love the quality of his skating too; sorry he didn't have a better skate.
Most of the U.S. guys just need the opportunity to develop more on the World stage which has been impossible because of the way the sport is constructed, and the depth of talent among U.S. men.
Cassar rocked the house
Gah! Love Johnathan, wish he was as awesome in the air as on the ice. I agree with Mike best program so far, but without a 3A it won't matter. Such a bummer.
LongTimeLurker you didn't link the results in your OP and now I have to go on google to find them. Tsk tsk. #firstworldproblems
Jonathan Cassar
3Z-3T- good
2A - cool spread eagle into it
LOVED that deep inside spread eagle in the end -- Jonathan's spread eagles are the best in the biz! Don't care how he ranks -- he is a lovely skater that has lots of nice moments.
31.67 + 35.36 =67.03 (5th out of 8 skaters). Boos from the audience.

Rick Larsen, supervisor for the Southeastern Region for the Divison of Wildlife Resources presented a check for the PILT payment to the Emery County Commission at their February meeting. The payment-in-lieu-of taxes check amounted to $2,700. Larsen explained these are funds generated by the sportsmen in the state of Utah for lands used by the DWR within Emery County. "We work closely with the county and appreciate the willingness to work on wildlife issues," said Larsen.
Larsen said things have been slow during the winter and they are in the middle of work plans for the next fiscal year. Law enforcement has been busy with several poaching cases, none in Emery County. Their law enforcement also assisted the Utah Highway patrol troopers just east of Green River when a convicted felon ran into the desert. TJ Robertson assisted in bringing the felon back into custody. Robertson ran into the felon and talked him into surrendering. "We have a very professional law enforcement," said Larsen.
He explained that 11 does were poached in the Gordon Creek area and the men involved have been charged with two felonies and four misdemeanor counts of wildlife destruction. In the Moab area a realtor turned in a poacher when she viewed a bobcat on the freezer. There has been some elk depradation in the lower Huntington Canyon area. These 10 cows have been harvested and donated to local churches to be distributed as needed. Larsen said the wildlife in our area are still in relatively good shape. There has been no need for any wildlife feeding. It has been bad up in North Ogden and there has been feeding of the deer in that area. Snows are about average in our area and some of the slopes are now baring to expose feed for the animals. "Most of the animals are in pretty good shape," said Larsen.
Paul Birdsey from the DWR will be working on rehabilitation at the Hatt Ranch properties for native species. He will be working on the diversion. The work will secure the native species population and the work can be used as proof of the division's efforts to forego any sensitive species or endangered species listings. "We are trying to stay on top of it," said Larsen.
Commissioner Gary Kofford wondered about any deer herd loss for this year. Larsen answered there is always some loss and they may lose more this year, but it's yet to be seen.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said he is glad the DWR is working through the process with the county on the introduction of the river otter into Straight Canyon. Larsen said they are glad to be cooperating with the county and pointed out a reintroduction of the ferret will take place in Grand County and this will allow land uses to continue as in the past. This is an introduction into the ferrets' native habitat.

Reviews for Peanut Butter Christmas Mice
"Very fun to make with kids. Kids love them!"
"These mice are absolutely adorable and taste delicious. They are relatively easy to make, but I have had issues with the decorations staying put."
"I've been making these for years. My children often help. Thanks for the wonderful family tradition!"
"The appearance far out weighs the taste - because I am a peanut butter cookie fanatic. A little tedious with the holly around the ears but totally worth it. Kiddos LOVE this and will eat it even if it's not so tasty. Not sweet enough. Also, be sure to insert the tails fresh out of the oven or you can't get them to go in. If you delay, you must repeatedly explain that a cat ate their tail..."
"These are easy to make and surprisingly good. One year I found little red kissy-lip sprinkles for the faces. What a fun addition to a Christams cookie plate!"
"The Best,fun to eat kids love them"
"Make sure you use real butter, not margerine, and they will not flatten."
"I've been making these mice cookies since the recipe was first published. They are always a HUGE hit!!!"
"Cookies are light and tasty and so cute!"

Runs Narrow
"I purchased the same shoe from another website Lord & Taylor last year for significantly more that the current price on DSW website. I was thrilled when I realized DSW retailed Tahari flats - so I decided to purchase this shoe style again - size 7. To my surprise the shoes are very narrow and are painful to wear. I am in the process of stretching the shoes but so far, no luck... Tahari is a great company, DSW is a great company. Not sure what happened here, looks like I may have purchased a 7N and not 7M. Regardless, my recommendation "try before you buy"!"

Love Tahari Flats!
"I love these flats and have 7 pairs of them in different colors and styles. I usually wear a 6 1/2 but always get a size 7 in flats to allow for room. Tahari flats are great because of the covered leather elastic around the complete top half of the shoe and they still have shape. Wish they would make these in more colors and styles with the same shaping!"

Keynote Address by HRH Willem-Alexander, the Prince of Orange, the Netherlands, Chair of UNSGAB
Special Thematic Session on Water and Disasters
I am delighted to share the podium with His Imperial Highness, the Crown Prince of Japan. As our Honorary President, you have brought your keen interest of water issues to our discussions. Our ties to Japan are strong and I applaud your country's long-standing commitment to improving water management around the globe.
It is also a pleasure to be with Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. We know that the demands on your time and attention are endless. Hosting this Session and your presence here today show your dedication to minimizing the pain, loss and suffering caused by water related disasters.
I am equally happy to share the podium with my fellow Board member, Dr. Han Seung-soo. Two years ago, we were graciously hosted in Seoul and we learned about Dr. Han's work spearheading ambitious river restoration projects to build Korea's resilience in the face of potential water-related disasters. Dr. Han, you combine an international commitment with a real understanding of challenges on the ground, and you are part of both the water community and the disaster community, making you an excellent advocate in our efforts to reduce the impact caused by water-related disasters.
Many in this room have lived through water-related disasters. We will hear from some of you who lived through the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami just two years ago. We will also learn about the flooding in Thailand,which took lives and ruined infrastructure. And I'm sure all of us remember the South East Asia Tsunami which crashed onto the shores of Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Maledives, Seychelles, even as far as eastern Africa in 2004. We have Indonesian representatives here who will tell us about rebuilding efforts.
Every water-related disaster—whether too much water like a tsunami or a flood or a typhoon or too little like a drought—is harrowing. Imagine torrents of water entering your home, turning your entire life upside down in their wake. Families shattered and your life's work washed away in a matter of minutes. A drought, though less sudden, can be just as devastating. People are driven to the brink of sanity by droughts that never seem to end. Right now, the United States is experiencing one of the worst droughts in history. Fields are parched, businesses are shutting down and food prices are rising. And this is in a country that benefits from sophisticated irrigation schemes to stave off the worst effects of the drought. Today, in most of Africa and much of the developing world, farmers continue to rely on rainfed agriculture making them vulnerable to our fickle climate.
Is it possible to end all of the suffering inflicted by water-related disasters? Of course not. Indeed, with climate change finding its expression in the water cycle, it is a certainty that we will see even more water-related disasters in the coming years. An overall warming trend world-wide and more dramatic climatic shifts means stronger storms, longer droughts and more coastal flooding. It is crucial, however, that we apply the precautionary principle in our approach to disasters. It is a social responsibility to try to reduce the public's exposure to harm.
When UNSGAB was drafting the Hashimoto Action Plan in 2006 to help achieve the water and sanitation Millennium Development Goal targets, it was clear to us that one water-related disaster can wash away in a moment years of progress, compromising communities' ability to reach their development objectives. So we included in that first Hashimoto Action Plan the urgent need to reduce the suffering caused by water-related disasters, both natural and manmade. We hoped to unify political will around global actions.
That is still clear today and our meeting continues that effort. We are here to share stories, learn from our experiences and build momentum and galvanize political commitment for a stronger global response to water-related disasters.
The first Hashimoto Action Plan also called for the High-Level Expert Panel on Water and Disaster, a group chaired by Dr. Han Seung-Soo. I encourage all of you to revisit its recommendations formulated in 2009 – they are practical, to-the-point and still highly relevant. For example, they stress that disaster risk reduction must be integral to climate change adaption strategies. Adapting to climate change is about building resiliency. Resilient ecosystems, economic and social systems can recover more quickly and sustainably from external shocks.
Just last year in Rio, countries gathered twenty years after the historic Earth Summit to recommit to a sustainable future. The Future We Want outcome dedicates four paragraphs to disaster risk reduction. They stress the interlinkages among disaster risk reduction and long term development planning along with the importance of early warning systems. Countries are also called on to reaffirm their commitment to the Hyogo Framework for Action – implementing this framework would build exactly the resiliency we need. Despite being close to 12 years old, the Hyogo Framework remains clearly relevant today – I urge the international community to keep this Framework at the center resiliency building efforts.
When a water-related disaster strikes, people need care urgently. Perhaps their most basic need is for clean water and sanitary toilets for we know how quickly diseases like cholera and diarrhea can spread without proper sanitation and hygiene. That is why a central objective of the Hashimoto Action Plan was the quick provision of clean water and sanitation after water-related disasters through coordinated responses from national and international organizations. While we can not prevent water-related disasters, we can try to make sure those recovering from them at least have decent toilets and clean water.
The continued need in so many parts of the world for clean water and sanitation is an acute development challenge. A staggering 2.5 billion continue to lack proper sanitation. Of all the MDGs, the Sanitation MDG target lags furthest behind. For safe drinking water the official numbers are less shocking: 783 million living each day without ready access to clean drinking water. But we know that the number is a lot higher since so far we monitor only access to improved sources not water quality.
I have worked for many years to draw attention to these fundamental challenges. For the last seven years as Chair of Mr. Ban Ki Moon's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation.
Secretary-General, it has been an honor to support you and the UN Family. Though my personal mandate is coming to an end, the Board remains vital and in fact we have just prepared Hashimoto Action Plan III which will guide the Board's work through 2015.
Members will continue to make an urgent push for sanitation with the Sanitation Drive to 2015, a campaign initiated by UNSGAB to continue the spirit and vitality of the International Year of Sanitation in 2008. And while we make many global commitments, without sustainable financing arrangements our lofty goals will not be met. This is why a major component of the Board's efforts through 2015 will be working with countries on innovative financing strategies for water, sanitation and wastewater services. The water-food-energy nexus is also a priority. And of course, building the global commitment and political will for disaster risk reduction is a central part of the renewed Action Plan.
Your Imperial Highness, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, friends
That is why our next action plan includes working with partners to make the case for strong water and sanitation targets in the post 2015 development framework. First, we need objectives and strategies to achieve universal access to sanitation and to drinking water that is really safe. It is time to make the human right to sanitation and drinking water a reality. Second, to avoid contaminating our scare water resources, and given that only a fraction of wastewater is treated in many countries, we need global objectives to increase wastewater management and re-use as well as pollution prevention. Thirdly, to ensure we have a reliable supply of clean water in the pipes, we must address the bigger picture by improving integrated water resources management and water-use efficiency.
We are meeting in a building that was impacted not very long ago by a water-related disaster. Hurricane Sandy caused the East River to rise and flood the United Nations Headquarters. The entire complex was closed for a whole week. Major sections of the Big Apple – one of the most prosperous and vibrant cities in the world – were brought to a halt. For days, the lower part of the island was dark and Manhattanites experienced what is like to live without running water. I have heard first-hand from residents in high- rises who needed to lug water up 20 or 30 flights of stairs. Having to physically fetch and carry water for a families needs, even for a few days, was a life changing experience. This physically exhausting job continues to be a daily task for millions of women and children world-wide.
Others were not so lucky. The Jersey shore, Staten Island, Red Hook, Breezy Point and the Rockaways were devastated and I understand many of you were able to visit these communities early this week. New York and New Jersey are slowly rebuilding and this is in one of the richest countries in the world. When a water-related disaster hits a vulnerable city or community, it can take decades to rebuild. Solidarity among nations, to learn, anticipate and prepare for disaster is the only rational and moral way forward. That is why we are here today. I thank you for participating and I look forward to our deliberations.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Exercise, Vitamin D Can Lower Fall Risk in Elderly
May 29, 2012 -- Older people can reduce their risk for serious falls by exercising regularly and taking vitamin D supplements, an expert panel now says.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force panel found "convincing evidence" that exercise or physical therapy and vitamin D supplementation can help reduce the risk of falls in people aged 65 and older.
Researchers reviewed more than 50 clinical trials to assess the benefits and harms of different strategies for preventing falls in older adults living in the community outside of nursing homes and other assisted-living centers.
Falls in the Elderly Underreported
Falls are a leading cause of serious injury and the leading cause of nursing home entry among the elderly.
Risks for falls include older age, a history of falls, and difficulty getting around.
As many as 40% of people aged 65 and older living outside of nursing homes fall at least once a year, and up to 10% of those who fall will suffer fractures, lacerations, or head injuries.
Falls are also widely underreported, geriatric physician Gisele Wolf-Klein, MD, tells WebMD.
Wolf-Klein is director of geriatric education at the North Shore-LIJ Health System in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"Elderly people who fall often don't tell their doctor or their children or even their spouse," she says. "They are often ashamed or fearful that they will be perceived as frail and dependent."

Picking the goat
September 15 2009 10:25AM
Picking the Goat for the 2009-10 hockey season is almost more difficult than picking the Star. Firstly, one has to take a look at the team's overall chances and the likelihood someone is going to take multiple blamings as the season wears on. The better your team, the less likely your goat is going to take a beating.
Say you are one of the eleven remaining fans of the Harlem Globetrotters.You have a reasonably good chance that your team won't lose a single game all season and odds are that the blistering basket shoot-scoring of the Washington Generals won't keep you up late on most nights. In this instance you have no real need for a Goat as success seems assured.
Now say you are a fan of the local ice hockey squadron, the Edmonton Oilers. Following their liver shredding Cup run in 2006, the Oilers have amazingly missed the playoffs three years in a row. This has not gone over well in the OilersNation where fans have become surely at best and murderous at worst. We had a long discussion with some of the boys about the temperature of the crowds that will enter RX1 this coming season. What will the prevailing mood be? Hopeful hope? Anger filled anger? Something inbetween like tepid indifference? It really could go either way.
The purpose of picking a Goat is to be able to hang your hat on an Oiler and blame him for the entire buffet table of bitter tasting woe that the Oilers serve to us on such a regular basis of late. When you name a particular player as your Goat he becomes the whipping boy for the entire team and a theraputic release for all things bad.
Ales Hemsky whiffs one? Damn the Goat for passing him the puck in such an off tempo manner. Oh it wasn't the Goat that passed him the puck? Damn his poor positional play causing a hurried pass. Goat boy wasn't on the ice for the whiff? Curse his bench sitting technique all to hell!
Now should your Goat actually cause some sort of unfortunate incident on the ice? Now you're talking! Friends witnessing the gaffe will often look to you and say "good call going with ___ as your Goat this season. That guy is twelve shades of shit." You can then sit back, smug in your predictory skills, almost taking pleasure at the brutalness of Senor Goato.
This is the way we pass the winter Nation. Until we figure out a way to keep Edmonton 24 degrees year round, this is the best we can do.
2009-2010 Goat Selecto
Last year we famously picked Dennis Grebeshkov to be the Goat for the season. Though some in the Nation figured his dramatically improved play, team leading plus/minus (or something) and (something something) meant he had turned the corner as an NHL player they couldn't be more wrong. While we were focused on his terrible play, worse attitude and awful results we found that we actually began to truly dislike him as the season wore on.
Think we hated Grebs last year? Check back now that it is 2010 and Goatie McGrebeshkov has signed a 3 million dollar deal. A 3 million dollar deal!? Has the entire world gone crazy? What in the sweet holy hell is going on? Remember when Grant Fuhr signed that crazy free agent contract with the Leafs? What did he make, like $1.8 MM or something? Now Grebeshkov makes 3 million? How do you think that makes Grant Fuhr feel? We will tell you how it makes Grant Fuhr feel. Not very good! And he has found a second life on the celebrity golf circuit.
No, no, no. This won't do at all. We love Grant Fuhr. Screw you Grebs, looks like you are up as the Goat deuce years in a row.
One final note
It's (Preseason) Game Day Bitches.

Since you have your rule book open, can you check to see if I am allowed to pick a member of the Oiler's managment as the goat of this season? Was MacT a goat-eligible last season?
This season hasn't started and yet Oiler managment has already failed to deliever. What happened to the bigger and grittier team I thought I was going to be watching in copper and blue this season?

September 15 2009, 10:51AM
I'd like to see who makes the team, and where before I pick a goat. For example: if Pouliot is slotted in as the third line center I pick him as goat. If Comrie is expected to play in a power vs power role with Horcoff: Goat... and so on...
September 15 2009, 10:52AM
JDD and his 22 or so games will be very hard to watch...
September 15 2009, 10:52AM
I got Stortini as my star, I think I'll pick Khabibulin as my goat too (count it, three so far, Rick, Petr's Jofa and me, ther will probably be more before this is over...). An oldish goalie who has a history of not performing in the early part of contracts.
Now as I say that I remember waaay back to last year's goat picking day. I chose Souray and look what happened, a career year! maybe Khabi will show me up like Sheldon did and this time bring us the cup. One can only hope!

I respectfully object. The Coach and/or GM will get ruthlessly thrashed regardless of who it is that fails on the ice. In my Rule Book of Internet Nonsensery (Unabridged Version), the Goat must be on the ice, with his dainty hooves skittering about so we can all bask in his obvious Goatery.
Management failings are too speculative. The prosecution rests.
September 15 2009, 10:54AM
Sorry my spelling is off today, however, I still pick HEMSKY for goat.

Ouch, you wounded me deeply by calling out the pizzazz of my request to pick Tambellini as my goat. Therefore I will stick with Khabibulin as my goat

1.50 Admission Procedure for Graduate Degree Status
A. Students submit a completed graduate admission application to the Graduate School. Applications for admission and all supporting credentials, including test scores if required, should be received at least four weeks before registration for the semester in which the students wish to begin graduate study. Some programs require applications to be submitted substantially earlier; please consult with the individual program office for any program-specific deadlines.
B. Students request the registrars of all colleges or universities previously attended to send one official transcript directly to the Graduate School (official transcripts become the property of Wright State University and will not be returned to the applicant). If courses from one university/college appear on another university's/college's transcript, students are still required to submit an official transcript from the college where they originally completed the course work.
C. Students pay a non-refundable $40 graduate application fee. Applicants who are McNair Scholars or who are in the NIH-funded PREP (Post-baccalaureate Research Education Program) program will have this fee waived. Such students must apply with a paper application or emailed PDF application form, and cannot use the on-line application system.
D. Students submit appropriate test scores and/or documents such as letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, or statement of goals and objectives to satisfy particular program or departmental requirements. Applicants must also meet any additional requirements stipulated by a particular program.
E. Students submit a completed and signed provisional memo of understanding for students requesting and/or being recommended by an academic program for provisional admission pending subsequent submission of their academic credentials. The memo, which must be on file in the Graduate School, details the conditions under which the students are being admitted. The final decision to admit students into provisional status is made by the Graduate School after reviewing the recommendations from the academic programs.
F. The Graduate School reviews the completed admissions file, calculates the students' total undergraduate grade point average as well as a grade point average for any graduate work undertaken, and sends copies of the application and supporting documents to the appropriate program official for review and an admission recommendation.
G. The program reviews the students' academic credentials and sends an admission recommendation to the Graduate School.
H. The Associate Director of Graduate Admissions reviews the recommendation and the applicants' academic credentials to see if the Graduate School admissions requirements have been met.
I. The Associate Director of Graduate Admissions notifies the applicants by letter in regard to any decisions regarding their admission.

The Good: Fighting back to it's roots, DC characters are great to play as, looks awesome, new elements are nice
The Bad: Toss away story mode, no gore, fatalities are kind of lame, not much content
I'm not going to lie when I say Mortal Kombat is my favorite game franchise of all time mainly because it was the first game I ever played when I was 2 years old. I love the gore, the characters, the story, the secrets, and inside stuff that true MK fans know about, but adding DC characters was a bit dicey, but surprisingly works. The game's story is pretty straight forward with both universes colliding and each sides' main villians are turning into one and controlling everyone else through a type of berserk mind control. You can play as various characters in separate story modes, but it's nothing special.
The Arcade mode is where it's at with all you favorite MK characters and DC characters such as Batman, Superman, Catwoman, and even Captian Marvel. Each character on the DC side has their signature powers and they are awesome to play as. The game's combat system is more like it's roots stripping away combat styles, weapons, and complicated combos with just fast paced fun. The animations are smoother, controls respond better, and the game really packs a punch.
Of course it's hard to please both sides of the fence, but the MK side takes a hit with no gore. I guess Midway couldn't get the DC guys to allow Sub-Zero to rip Superman's head off so the Fatalities are pretty lame. They feature no gore, but just really brutal deaths, and the DC guys never kill so they are Heroic Brutalities...yeah what BS. This really screws the MK fans, but the DC guys are very tight arsed about everything, and that's why I still think this should have been Marvel instead (the last Wolverine game was gory as sin). Some DC HB's are OK at best. Joker's one of my favorites with him shooting a fake gun and dancing around in his silly fashion, but most are pretty lame like Green Lantern just running around a character a lot until they die...yeah really exciting. The MK characters are a little more retro with Scorpion turning characters into char so this is OK. I just wish the game would have been gory, but what's here is good enough.
The MK guys really captured the characters of the DC personalities like Catwoman's slinky sexy movements, Joker's maniacal pranks, Batman's precision martial arts, and Superman's brute force. It makes MK fans really want to try DC characters without sticking to their favorites. Or course the roster could have been a lot bigger, but thanks to Midway tanking extra downloadable characters will never happen like planned.
There are some nice new features to the game such as a test-your-might type mini-game during Free Fall Kombat and Klose Kombat which allows you to grab your opponent but the camera zooms in and you press buttons to trick them until get every hit in for 30% damage. Free fall is the same except you have to hit RB before you hit the ground to unleash an attack on them. This changes up the fighting and adds a nice tough, but could have been a bit more. The new Rage mode allows you to take advantage of this berserk mind control and makes you nearly invincible for a certain amount of time. Along with this combo breakers return, but that's about it.
The game looks really good and is the first MK game on a next-gen console. Characters are rendered in sharp detail and have more detail than ever before. Each DC character has their signature costume and looks amazing, but the music is very lacking. The levels are great and wonderfully designed, and the multi player is what will make you keep coming back. While the game lacks the MK gore the fact that two highly unlikely worlds collide makes it great enough to play.

Why Amnesia The Dark Descent Isn't At All Scary
If you don't know the gist of Fraction's Amnesia: The Dark Descent, it's simple: You're being chased the whole game by a monster and you don't have any way of hurting or killing it. The idea with that of course is to up the scare factor. We're so used in games to just turning and shooting at things, to being able to mount a defence with a good offence. Taking our guns away should, by rights, be the scariest thing a game can do - since when were these anything but male power fantasies? But Amnesia is actually kind of rubbish. It highlights what I think is an interesting paradox. It shows that, inside horror games at least, having a gun is actually more frightening than not.
Having a gun in a game always means you have to do something with it. Name a game where you're given a gun only to never fire it, a game which has guns in it but no killing or violence. Bet you can't. You know like how before a boss fight a game will feed you bullets, power-ups and health packs to get you ready, and you just know what's coming? When you're handed a gun, you know you're going to have to fight with it. With that power always comes responsibility.
And responsibility is scary. The reason businessmen pay a dominatrix to treat them like a baby for an hour a week is so they can shrug all the responsibility of the adult world off their shoulders and remember how much nicer it was being a child, how much easier. Amnesia is like that. By taking away your gun, it kind of infantilises you; it absolves you of responsibility. When you see a monster, you know you don't have to fight it, you don't have to do anything, and that's not frightening. Coming up against an enemy and wondering "how the fuck am I going to deal with this?" and knowing that you do have to is scary. Simply being allowed to run and hide and not do anything at all isn't frightening, it's a get out.
Amnesia's too rule based as well. It does its initial flip of expectations, breaking what you might argue is the first rule of first-person games (arm your players) but then becomes as mechanical and predictable as backgammon. You hide in the dark and the monster can't see you; when you're chased through the water by something invisible, you jump on boxes and it can't get to you. Keys unlock doors, levers turn cogs and lamps burn oil - Amnesia's a thoroughly logical game and again, that doesn't make for good horror.
You take Resident Evil 2 and look how it fucks with you. It's set mostly in a police station but takes great pleasure in twisting that familiar place around. Doors are unlocked with jewels and plugs; corridors are lined with fine art and statues instead of vending machines and chairs. It's a weird, illogical place. Silent Hill as well is all a mess. It's lateral, non-sensical - in Silent Hill 2 you unlock a door using a wax doll.
You need this kind of illogic to make a game scary. Amnesia plays its opening gambit of "hey ma no guns" but then becomes a run-of-the-mill, lock and key, Pipedream kind of game where everything clicks together like you'd expect. It's fathomable. It's not scary because it makes sense.
Oh and there are jump scares which unless your game is written by Ken Levine and Drew Holmes are always shit.
3 comments:
First of all, I thought Amnesia was a great game, but in some ways I think Frictional Games' previous title 'Penumbra: Black Plague', while being less polished, was a scarier experience.ReplyDelete
Likewise, no weapons, but something really worked - I think it was that the encounters were slightly more varied and unpredictable - the mechanics don't become apparent quick as fast as in Amnesia. The monsters don't de-spawn when you look into a corner for a minute, for example. They patrol the corridors and it feels a lot less 'gamey', for lack of a better word.
I agree, hiding in a cupboard for the fourth time just isn't scary when you know it works. It would have been great if they betrayed that expectation of safety at some point. But Amnesia has great moments other than the first 2 hours of finding your feet. Particularly the Prison comes to mind as the encounters feel much more randomized (which is silly, because the game is very scripted, but it still got me worrying about the next corner).Replies
to add more to my incoherent blurb, what I think works about the whole Prison and water demon sequences is that there is sufficient challenge (though not to the point that fear of failure overrides fear of the unknown) and that you CAN'T simply turn around and wait until it goes away and your screen goes blurry due to lack of sanity. I found being chased and having to throw open doors to be the scariest parts as my security blanket was taken from me.Delete
Whilst I agree that Amnesia TDD isnt the least bit scary and anyone who found it scary needs to see a shrink, I find your examples of what scary is to be...dumb.ReplyDelete
A wax doll opening a door isnt scary...being incoherent isnt scary...its annoying and disrespectful to the player.
Something like 'every time you open a door, someone is killed' but the player not knowng this till later is what 'scary' is; it takes something familiar to the player and still is familiar but makes it uneasy, it makes the next time the player opens a door in real life feel queasy.....seeing art in a police station wont have the same affect,
You need to get your point across better.
