What is bloodless care?
The term bloodless indicates "transfusion free" medicine, but does not mean that there will be no bleeding during an operative procedure. Our Program provides you with the best possible medical and surgical care without the use of blood or its derivatives. This is accomplished by way of non-blood management through alternatives that your health care team will follow respecting your beliefs and convictions.
How is bloodless care different?
In general, bloodless care does not mean instituting new medical procedures. Bloodless care means selecting oxygen-carrying capability of the blood. Bloodless therapies utilized are accepted standard protocols of care for minimizing blood loss. All interested patients will receive information and counseling on the risks of refusing blood and blood products. Selected research protocols will be considered for interested patients.
Are you a candidate for bloodless medical or surgical care?
Every patient who chooses to refuse or avoid blood or blood products is a potential candidate for bloodless medical or surgical care. Each patient's situation is reviewed with his or her physician to ensure an appropriate final decision.
Why should you go into the Bloodless Medicine and Surgery Program?
The program provides you an alternative method of treatment with implementation of non-blood management. At University Hospital, our staff is continually perfecting its knowledge and skills in limiting the lost of blood while providing state-of-the-art medical care. As a patient in our Program you can be confident that you will have access to the full range of bloodless therapies and that your caregivers are committed to complying with your wishes to the fullest extent possible.

The issue of donations made by the city to private individuals or groups was a big item of discussion in the recent Huntington City Council meeting. Mayor Jackie Wilson explained that the state auditor's office has made it very clear that Huntington, along with most of the other cities, has been doing the process incorrectly.
Mayor Wilson said that for every expenditure that is not named in the budget, it must go through the public hearing process for approval. That means that if a group, such as a high school club, comes to the city for a donation, the city must hold a public hearing before the money can be donated.
The process of holding a public hearing is lengthy and costs the city for advertising; these costs would be difficult for the city to absorb. An alternative for Huntington, and other cities, is to budget donations into the yearly budget as line item expenses to individuals or groups that are given annually.
"We will have to identify those groups that we give to regularly, such as the rodeo club, 4-H, and the fair pageant, in our annual budget. We have donation limits already in place, and if we put the averages in the budget, we can avoid having to hold public hearings for donations," said Mayor Wilson. "Some towns have completely done away with giving any donations," she said.
Councilman Bob Mills suggested doing away with all donations, other than those that are already budgeted for. Councilman Mark Justice stated that the city is for the residents, and it is their job to help when asked. In several months, the town will begin a new budget, and those donations that take place annually can be entered into the budget then. The council agreed.
In other business conducted by the Huntington City Council, one new business license was issued. In another matter, a resident asked the council for help with the approach to his driveway. He stated that when the curb and gutter was put in, it was at least 18 inches lower than the surface of the road, creating a deep dip that his vehicles scrape in entering or leaving his driveway.
Councilman Mark Justice stated that when the new season's construction projects begin, someone from the construction company and the city will take a look and figure a way to solve the problem.
Councilperson Julie Jones stated that the youth city council is eager to begin the project at the cemetery. She said the plaque is finished, the plans are drawn up for the installation of the flagpole, and bids are in for the fabrication of the markers for the unmarked graves in the cemetery.
There are currently 210 unmarked graves in the Huntington Cemetery, and the youth city council is undertaking a project to mark those sites. The square metal markers will be set into a cement block and installed at the grave sites. The flagpole and monument will also be installed by the youth council. Their goal is to have this project completed by Memorial Day.
Mayor Wilson announced that Huntington City cleanup will be April 16-May 16. There will be six dumpsters for residents to deposit yard waste, at two separate locations in the city. She also stated that the renovation project for the old city hall building is beginning. The building will be used for storage for the time being.
Councilperson Hilary Gordon stated that the rodeo grounds and announcer's booth have had some damage over the winter months.
She has begun the process to have the repairs taken care of and the rodeo is scheduled for June 3-4.

May 2011 E-News Brief
April 2011 was the first annual Texas MODern Month, organized to raise awareness of the need to preserve locally, regionally, and nationally significant examples of modern buildings sites and neighborhoods in Texas. Texas MODern Month was organized by Preservation Texas and a number of partner organizations including the North Texas and Mid-Tex Mod chapters of DOCOMOMO US, and HoustonMod, the first Friend Organization of DOCOMOMO US.

The need for such an extended celebration of Texas modern heritage was vividly demonstrated by the recent demolition of the Corpus Christi Memorial Coliseum (1952, architect Richard S. Colley) despite repeated and prolonged calls for its protection by the Texas preservation community. Notwithstanding other preservation wins around the state (such as the Dallas Statler Hilton), the devastating loss of the Coliseum drove home the need to increase advocacy and awareness efforts.
A number of communities across Texas participated in MODern Month, hosting and organizing various talks, tours, and other events. Among these was a lecture series by DOCOMOMO US President Theodore Prudon, FAIA, which took place in Houston, Dallas, and Austin. Prudon's topic was "Back to the Future: The Preservation of Modern Architecture", in which he provided a holistic view of the philosophical, technical, and cultural challenges (and opportunities) facing modern preservationists today, whether working internationally or locally. Lecture venues included the Magnolia Lounge in Dallas (1936, William Lescaze) and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (1958, Mies van der Rohe).
This lecture series was an encouraging example of cooperation among a number of sponsoring organizations, including North Texas and MidTex Chapters of DOCOMOMO US, Houston Mod, Preservation Dallas, Preservation Texas, Dallas Architecture Forum, Friends of Fair Park, UT Austin Graduate Program in Historic Preservation, UT Austin Student Historic Preservation Association, AIA Houston, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts Design Council. Additional support was generously provided by several private firms and individuals.
Building on the momentum of the 2011 MODern Month, many of these groups have already begun cooperative discussions about an expanded MODern Month for 2012, as well as more immediate activities, including participation in the fifth annual DOCOMOMO US National Tour Day this coming October.

On Tuesday May 24th the Whitney Museum of American Art will break ground on its new location in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. In light of the Museum's planned relocation in 2015 to the new Renzo Piano-designed flagship, there has been speculation in recent months as to the fate of the original Marcel Breuer building, located on 75th Street and Madison Avenue on Manhattan's Upper East Side. An iconic example of Brutalist concrete architecture, the landmark Breuer building has housed a portion of the museum's growing collection since opening in 1966. Citing the need to expand, the Whitney had explored several designs to reuse the existing space before deciding to move downtown, including proposals by Rem Koolhaas, Michael Graves and Piano.
Architect and historian Robert A. M. Stern has suggested the building be turned into a showcase of architectural archives; others a museum of photography. Some questions were answered last week when the Whitney formally announced its intention to lease the Breuer building to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
While the move into a Brutalist building may be seen as a stark contrast to the Beaux-Arts architectural style traditionally associated with the Metropolitan, over the years the Met has embraced modern art and architecture, expanding both its collections and architectural footprint in response to the growing movement.
Expansion into the Breuer building speaks to the mainstreaming of Modernism, perhaps furthering acceptance of the Brutalist style that is often marginalized and the object of criticism, as seen in the recent dispute over Paul Rudolph's concrete Orange County Government Center (1963), covered in the January edition of this newsletter. While the longterm effects remain to be seen, the Met's plans for the Whitney space include use as "an outpost for modern and contemporary art around the world," and can be considered a step forward in the preservation of modern architecture.
On March 11, 2011 Japan suffered an earthquake of unprecedented magnitude, followed by a devastating tsunami. Our colleagues at Docomomo Japan recently shared this letter:
April 4, 2011
To friends and supporters of the DOCOMOMO community worldwide:
We would like first to express our heartfelt gratitude for all your sympathies, condolences and support messages extended to us in Japan concerning the massive devastations caused by the March 11, 2011 Northeastern Japan Great Earthquake and Tsunami.
Fortunately, DOCOMOMO JAPAN, headquartered in Tokyo, survived the quake as most of Tokyo, while we were well shaken, nevertheless, had received very little real damage. This earthquake of Magnitude 9.0 and the Tsunamis that followed defied even our heightened state of natural disaster preparedness, for, unlike the previous large earthquakes in our collective memory in history that mostly affected a rather singular and limited area (city), this one exceeded our predictions as not only by being so enormous but also by its overwhelming linear length of approximately 600km long which covered almost the whole northeastern Pacific coast, thus affected the entire region so vast in area. The results were apocalyptical as you must have seen the repeated images on TV. The relief efforts are underway in huge scale, and we too pledge our best for the cause, but the full recovery of the region will take years.
The stricken region boasted a collection of buildings and structures with architectural distinction including some that were listed in the DOCOMOMO JAPAN selections. Details of the status of those are uncertain at this time. We will make our effort to gather the related information.
As for the damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant caused by the Tsunamis is another matter that requires a close attention. As of this writing, frantic and heroic efforts are continuing to contain the damaged reactors. The experts analyzed the situation we currently face to be critical and worse than the case of Three Mile Island in 1979 but not nearly as bad as it was in the case of Chernobyl disaster in 1986, that eventually it will be contained. While the cases of the radioactive contamination are detected in the environment, they are limited to the immediate neighborhood of the power plant site. Therefore, despite some media reports to the contrary, as Tokyo is some 230km south-west of the site, there is no real threat of any kind to those in Tokyo area at this time. But certainly we will need to keep our monitoring.
DOCOMOMO JAPAN will maintain our activity despite the disaster and shall select additional set of buildings to be listed in our register this year. In coming September, the UIA is planning the international convention in Tokyo. We are planning to hold symposiums and an exhibition of our 150 selections in the UIA event.
Words are inadequate to express, but once again, we would like to tender our deepest appreciation for all your concerns and goodwill extended to us in Japan. Thank you, Arigato.

In April 2011, with the input of DOCOMOMO US/New England, the Boston Landmarks Commission declared the Christian Science Center (CSC) a Boston Landmark.
The modern urban complex – begun in 1894 with the original Mother Church, extended in 1906, and augmented in 1934 with the Publishing House – was joined between 1965 and 1975 by a now world-renowned group of modern buildings designed by Araldo Cossutta of I.M. Pei & Partners, with landscape design by Sasaki, Dawson, DeMay. Located prominently at the edge of Boston's Back Bay, South End, and Fenway districts, and connecting to the institutional landscape of Northeastern University to the South, the complex has been a topic of public interest for many years. The largest privately-owned open space in Boston, the plaza is well-used and well-loved, though in recent years suffered disrepair and came under criticism as being cold and unfriendly in the winter.

In July 2010, the Christian Science Church submitted a Draft Plaza Revitalization Plan to the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) proposing the consolidation of the Church's operations into the Publishing House building, while permitting lease of the Sunday School Building, Colonnade Building, and the office tower at 177 Huntington Avenue. The Church aimed to seek permission for new construction above and adjacent to the Sunday School Building in the form of a single "slim" tower 291 feet in height, and additionally on an undeveloped parcel at the northwest perimeter of the property. Another controversial aspect of the Draft Revitalization Plan proposed a path or bridge crossing the 700 foot long Reflecting Pool – a central character defining feature of the complex – in response to criticism that it is inconvenient for pedestrians to travel around the north and south ends of the Pool to access the Mother Church and Publishing House buildings.
The incipient Draft Revitalization Plan submission initiated the action to landmark the entire CSC complex, triggering a series of nearly a dozen Boston Landmarks Commission hearings beginning in August 2010.
Representatives of DOCOMOMO US/New England – President David Fixler and Content Coordinator Marie Sorensen – were present at every hearing held by the Landmark Commission. Discussion of important elements of the Commission's report were discussed separately by DOCOMOMO in conjunction with partners from the Boston Preservation Alliance, as well as Dr. Keith Morgan of Boston University, architect Tad Stahl, and architects Chris Grimley and Mark Pasnik, authors of the documentary project "Heroic: Boston Concrete 1957-1976".
DOCOMOMO's role focused from the beginning on ensuring that the significance of the CSC was clearly understood and articulated within the Report, to ensure protection of the physical attributes of the buildings and site. This included bringing depth and precision to the descriptions of the Character Defining Features of the buildings and the site, clarifying their significance, and helping to craft Guidelines for future treatment of each element.

Throughout this process, the Landmark Hearing participants discussed the issue of how to sympathetically accommodate necessary change, especially in such a large and complex ensemble of buildings with so many urban edges. In addition, a broad range of issues were raised relative to the Church's status as a religious institution; these topics were thoroughly vetted in the course of the Hearings. In early March DOCOMOMO US/New England presented the following statement at the Boston City Council hearing convened in advance of a vote by the Council and Mayor to approve the Landmark Commission's designation:
"The Christian Science Center is one of the most important and complete work of modern urban design in the world. Its significance stems from the quality, unity, and integrity of the buildings, landscape, and three-dimensional urban space. The architectural features of the complex – including the reflecting pool, hardscape, and planted areas – are interdependent as critical design elements in a manner that reinforces the relationship of the buildings to their site, and the complex as a whole to the city.
"The Christian Science Center Complex is not only important as a modern site, but also as an example of a uniquely Bostonian manifestation of modernism as it responds to and engages with historic buildings in a dynamic, contemporary, and sustaining way. Modern and historic meet and engage within the plazas, colonnades, and facades. For Boston, this complex is one of the most important examples of an historic institutional and urbane space that joins classical buildings with modern formality and public character.
"For the benefit of those where were not present at the designation hearings: it has been an excellent and thorough process of understanding, discussing, and describing the nature and history of the complex – documenting and agreeing upon the importance and integrity of the basic relationships of landscape, buildings, and urban space – and of foreseeing the opportunities and possibilities of change, and the meaning of change within this internationally and locally significant urban site.
"DOCOMOMO US/New England, DOCOMOMO US and Docomomo International fully appreciate the importance of sustaining the quality and integrity of this world-class complex into the future, and heartily endorse the recommendation to designate the Christian Science Center Complex as a Boston Landmark."

DOCOMOMO US ANNUAL BOARD MEETING: Visiting Case Study House #22 (Stahl House)
Photo credit: Stahl House, Inc.
For two days in early April the DOCOMOMO US Board convened in Los Angeles to both investigate and promote the organization's national growth. Joining the Board were DOCOMOMO US interns from both the Columbia University and Pratt Institute Historic Preservation graduate programs. Following the Day Two open session at Richard Neutra's VDL Research House II, the group visited Case Study House #22, also known as the Stahl House.
The Stahl House, located in the Hollywood Hills overlooking Los Angeles, was completed in 1959 by architect Pierre Koenig for Buck Stahl and his family as part of Art & Architecture's Case Study House Program, which ran from 1945-1966. The houses built during the Case Study Program were conceived as low-cost, experimental modern residential prototypes, using new materials and new techniques in construction.
The visit was guided by Andrew Edelstein, docent for the Eames Foundation, who provided stories and personal photos of the Stahl family's experience building and living in a Case Study House, as well as the history of the Case Study House Program.
Visit the Stahl House online at www.stahlhouse.com or join their Facebook group.

\*sigh\* Unix dead, news at 11
By khb on Sep 26, 2007
Since Gartner's silly pronouncement the pundits are in play. The silliest bit I've seen yet is this gem: litigious process than, say, porting from Solaris to AIX. As if porting from one Standards compliant (and Unix certified) system to another would require any litigation. And this guy thinks he's defending Unix against Linux.

Reds make Blanton pay for his mistakes
CINCINNATI – One of the reasons the Angels wanted Joe Blanton is because he is a strike-throwing machine.
Then again, that's not always a good thing.
In his regular-season debut with his new team, Blanton demonstrated the pitfalls of being constantly around the plate. The Cincinnati Reds pounded three of those strikes over the fence, making the difference in the Angels' 5-4 loss in the series finale Thursday.
"Guys are in swing mode," Blanton said. "I'm going to keep throwing strikes, regardless of what they're hitting or how they are hitting. Whatever pitch I happen to throw, I'm going to throw a strike. There are quality strikes and not quality strikes. Two of the three were not quality strikes. Sometimes it happens. Sometimes you get away with them where they pop them up and sometimes you don't."
Blanton said he threw a good pitch – down in the zone – to Shin-Soo Choo to lead off the game, but the Reds center fielder still hit it out. After that, Blanton gave up a solo homer to Todd Frazier on a backdoor sinker that stayed over the plate and a two-run homer to Chris Heisey on a hanging slider.
Heisey's homer snapped a 3-3 tie in the fifth. Although the Angels bullpen tacked on three scoreless innings and the hitters had chances to drive the tying run in from scoring position in the seventh and ninth, the homers proved too much to overcome.
It's the story of Blanton's career. He has allowed 172 homers, 12th most in the majors since 2005. Coincidentally, the pitcher who has allowed the most, Bronson Arroyo at 242, was the winning pitcher Thursday. In Blanton's case, the home runs come as a side affect of his strength, which is pounding the strike zone.
"He's not trying to give them up, but you look at the bottom line of a pitcher," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "Pitchers get to their production in different ways. Some guys have a walk in their game, and you accept it because they can get out of it. Some guys give up the home run but you look at the bottom line. They're pitching deep into games and giving you a chance to win."

Curls Would Not HoldSadly, this curling iron woudl not curl my hair. My hair barely curled and what did curl fell into a loose wave. I have a cheap conair clipless curler that I paid $20 and it curls way better than this. I wanted a better quality curler and this was not it. I'm returning it and thinking about tryring a the Amika. Way more than I want to spend but I really love the clipless curl look.Jan 27, 2014Ann

So Glad I Bought ThisI only curl my hair at most on weekends so this iron was perfect. It is less than half the price of the expensive clipless curling iron and it does the same thing.
Also- the glove you recieve with this iron goes further down your arm then the glove that the more expensive, Sedu iron, comes with.
I highly recommend this iron.

BargainWorks great. I kept reading that curls using the clipless curlers "last for days!" With my regular curler (clip kind) my second-day curls are not cute so I was intrigued by that idea.
I'm not sure why curls ought to last longer when curled with a clipless curler - how is it different, does anyone know? That said - yes. Second-day curls are almost better than the first day with this curler. I love it. It's that I-live-on-the-beach, oh-this-old-hair? look that I've been dying to have since I was 12.
The curler's cheaper but I don't see any sacrifices. This is just a deal.Nov 7, 2011LeaHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Great For The Price But...The price was right but I feel like the iron doesn't have the same heat index throughout the stick. If I try to curl my hair around the top or bottom of the stick i dont get the same results. The glove was nice and the iron gets the job done but a longer stick would have been niceSep 21, 2011Ac / AtlantaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Normal Hair / Dry Hair

Long Lasting CurlsI ordered this curling wand because I got an amazing deal on it and was having a hard time justifying spending the money on a Sedu (although I love Sedu products). So when the curling wand arrived I was really excited but truly wasn't expecting to be blown away with it, but boy was I wrong. I LOVE this curling wand and I just can't believe how long the curls last. When I curl my hair with it the curls always last for two or three days or until I wash my hair. The second day curls are my favorite! By the second day they are more relaxed and so beautiful. I am constantly getting compliments and people are always asking how I fix my hair. My husband is particularly fond of the way my hair looks after using this curling wand. I have long, straight, normal hair and my hair really responds well to the set heat level on this curling iron. I would recommend it to anyone! :)Sep 12, 2011Natalie / KentuckyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

Worth The PriceI orginally purchased the Sedu iron, which was $119.99 and I bought it for a special promo offer at $95.99. This was much, much more than I still wanted to spend, but I expected to be wowed by the results. I wasn't. Definitely not for the money. I was really mad that I was charged $18 to ship the item back to Folica, especially when UPS told me Folica receives an 80% discount on the shipping to the customer. So while I spent nearly $20 on shipping the Sedu iron back to them (after paying $96) they only paid $5 to send it to me--max. I had already ordered the TS-2 iron and was hoping they would credit my account since what I was doing was more of an exchange. They still said no. So, this will be my last purchase from Folica until they change their return shipping policy. The customer should pay the same shipping that the company pays, and no more. When Folica wants to start including a pre-paid return shipping label with their orders, I'll consider buying from them again.
Okay, so my review of this curling iron. Obviously, the Sedu had some nicer features. It allowed you to control the temperature setting (the TS-2 does not. It only has one heat setting you turn on and off. I don't even know what the temperature is, because it doesn't tell you). Sedu also had a little flip out stand you could set on the vanity counter top, so the heat from the iron doesn't touch it. It was a nice feature, and the TS-2 doesn't have one. You can easily solve this by placing the hot part over the sink, while the handle rests on the counter. The features that the TS-2 has that is cool is a long, swivel 9 foot cord. The Sedu's cord is also 9 feet, but it doesn't swivel. Both include a glove to place on your hand so you don't burn yourself (obviously, the Sedu's glove is a little nicer, but the TS-2 works just as well). My review is, if you aren't going to be using this curling iron every day it's worth the money (I paid $40). The negatives and positives even out. If you are going to use it every day, I would pick an iron where you can control the heat setting, so you aren't parching your hair. Do I recommend the Sedu if you are using it every day? Tough call. I still don't think it's worth $100, but if you make lots of money, go ahead and splurge.Aug 12, 2011LisaHAIR TYPELight Brown / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Curls That StayThis curling iron takes some time to get used to, but it is possible to learn. If you are right-handed, put the glove on your left hand. As far as performance...I have long, thin-to-medium hair that is naturally curly. With cheaper, clip curling irons, the curls stay bouncy for 10 minutes and then go flat. This iron is extremely hot and the last time I did my hair with it, the curls lasted in relatively high humidity and heat which was unheard of with previous curling irons! I was skeptical but now am very satisfied with my purchase. Just a note - you will not get the typical ringlet curls with this type of curling iron. The curls are long and fluffy and if you have long hair, the curls will not shorten your hair like typical ringlet curls. I would say that this is a definite plus if you are going for a longer, fluffy look.Jul 25, 2011Sarah / UtahHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

The Australian landscape and structures built within it are the artist's main source of inspiration. Simple angular forms are suggestive either of modest dwellings or that familiar icon of Australian vernacular architecture, the corrugated-iron shed. Rea also seeks to express the broad expanse of the Australian landscape.
The fragile relationship that exists between man and nature - exemplified by allusions to the 'Australian bush' - is a recurrent theme in Rea's cast glass.

By Rheta Grimsley Johnson
FISHTRAP HOLLOW – It's a long seven hours up to the hills from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, no matter if you stop to walk the dogs and grab a bite or ignore all urges and detours and simply hell-for-leather on.
Seven hours, give or take a few minutes or centuries.
You pass the Gnat Line, the open prairies, towns with musical Indian names like Shuqualak and Pachuta, a singsong chant of a drive. Then, almost suddenly, the land begins to undulate, and there are bona fide hills.
You eventually cross north into my county, my home base for the past 25 years.
Something was dramatically different about my latest homecoming, however, and I still have to pinch myself to believe it. I was returning to a county no longer "dry" but "wet," and by that I don't mean the amount of annual rainfall.
If you look at the map, Tishomingo County, my county, is the corner of the state where Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama meet, shake hands, share a boundary. Until now, if you wanted a beer, or a drink, you trucked a few miles either to the Alabama line, the Tennessee line or the neighboring Mississippi County of Alcorn. It wasn't impossible, just inconvenient.
For decades, the bootleggers and the preachers and the state-line interests had conspired to keep the hardest-drinking place I know of "dry." And I've lived parttime in Louisiana.
There are more beer cans on the side of Tishomingo county roads than there are wildflowers. There's a huge recreational lake with boaters and campsites and campfires around which people sit and toast the sunset. Like every other place in the free world, we get our share of alcoholics, DUIs and obnoxious drunks; we just don't get the tax revenue.
The "dry" status hurt business, especially restaurants and convenience stores. While the owner of a service station and beer store on the Tennessee line became a millionaire, the carcasses of similar businesses flanked the road that led there.
There's an unlikely, grammatically challenged hero in this story. One man, a fellow named Tubby Aldridge, persisted in collecting enough signatures to float the first wet-dry vote in this county in decades. He apparently wasn't intimidated, bought off, saved by the saints or discouraged by the slow process or the rest of us local hypocrites who bump into one another every Friday night on the line.
I hope he's grand marshal of the Christmas parade.
The stories, some of them probably apocryphal, abound about the "dry" days so recently ended. I'll miss those.
Depending on the vehemence of those in charge, there have been arrests of holiday revelers in possession of near-beer, and once, it's said, the detaining of a Budweiser truck passing through. Or so the endless legends go.
I knew I would be on the Mississippi Coast for the historic vote, so I cast my "YES" by absentee ballot before I left. While I was gone, I got a letter warning me that such a vote would result in more "firearm injuries, sexual assault, domestic violence, increased family problems, broken relationships and broken homes."
None of that has ever happened here before, of course, possibly because we sinners were kept busy weaving to the state line.

|Meeting Description:
|International Conference on Audiovisual Translation
An urge for the study and theorizing of audiovisual translation has been brought about by the contemporary social processes of globalization and expanding intercultural communication, as well as rapid technological developments. Ukraine, traditionally a dubbing country, has a very developed practice of film translation, but has only started building its theoretical foundation. Furthermore, being de facto a bilingual country, in recent years film translation has become a political and legal battlefield between the proponents of Ukrainian and Russian. Sometimes the debates have referred vaguely to the existing practices of other multilingual countries, but the theoretical vacuum has not been conducive to informed policy-making. All of this requires scholarly exploration and discussion of film translation as a process, product and concept.
The conference 'Translation and Cinema: Multiplicity of Perspectives, Points of Contact,' sponsored by the European Society for Translation Studies, will be the first dedicated solely to audiovisual translation held in Ukraine and its ambition is to attract translation scholars' attention to this field. It also hopes to open up Translation Studies in Ukraine to a wider dialogue with the international translation studies community and other disciplines. We are inviting translation scholars, researchers with interest in audiovisual translation, Media and Film Studies, practicing translators, film industry professionals and amateurs.

International Law Commission: Statement by Marcel van den Bogaard at 68th UN General Assembly
Statement by
Mr. Marcel van den Bogaard
Legal adviser, Netherlands Permanent Representation
United Nations General Assembly
68th Session
Sixth Committee
Agenda item 81
Report of the International Law Commission
Part 3
Chapter VI
(Immunity of state officials)
Mr. Chairman,
1. We have taken note of this year's work of the Commission on the topic 'Immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction' with great interest. We would like to commend the Special Rapporteur Professor Concepción Escobar Hernández with her first report and with the way in which she has continued the important work done by her predecessor, Ambassador Kolodkin.
2. The key theme in the discussions on this topic is the relationship between two areas of international law: international immunity law and international criminal law. International immunity law is a long standing branch of international law. The ILC has greatly contributed to its codification in a number of Conventions, and most recently in the 2004 State Immunity Convention. International criminal law deals with individual responsibility for international crimes. It is an area of international law that has evolved considerably during the last two decades, in particular through the creation of international criminal tribunals and the International Criminal Court.
3. The Netherlands submits that the ILC should approach its work on the topic of immunity of state officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction not in isolation, as if it were a self-contained regime. It should take into account what has already been achieved, long ago and in more recent times, in the two mentioned areas of international law, so as to ensure coherence and consistency in international law. This is true both for issues of substance and for terminology. For example, the Special Rapporteur has questioned the appropriateness of the term "official" (para. 66 of her report). Perhaps a more suitable term is "representative of the state", which is also used in the 2004 State immunity convention and clarified in the ILC commentary.
4. More specifically, a key question in the ILC discussions on this topic is the following: if international crimes are committed by state officials, should national courts of another state play a role in holding to account these foreign state officials, because international crimes must not be left unpunished? Or should these officials enjoy immunity, because otherwise they cannot perform their functions as representatives of a foreign state? There is a wide variety of views amongst states, and even amongst courts within the same state, when this key question emerges in concrete cases. So it is not surprising that there is diversity of opinion on this within the ILC as well.
5. Given this diversity of opinion we support the Special Rapporteur in what she calls in her report an "attempt at conceptual and methodological clarification" (paras. 51-52). Hopefully, stepping back and putting the issues at stake in a larger perspective will enable the ILC to move forward in this area. This would be 'reculer pour mieux sauter', and should result both in a better understanding of the lex lata in this area and in better informed decisions on the lex ferenda.
6. The ILC has asked states to provide information on national law and practice relating to two specific questions. The first question is: "Does the distinction between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae result in different legal consequences and, if so, how are they treated differently"?
7. The key provision of Dutch law that is relevant here is Article 16 of the International Crimes Act (2003). According to Article 16, criminal prosecution for the crimes is excluded with respect to two categories of persons. The first category is: "foreign heads of state, heads of government and ministers of foreign affairs, as long as they are in office, and other persons in so far as their immunity is recognized under customary international law". The second category is: "persons who have immunity under any convention applicable within the Kingdom of the Netherlands". This provision as such therefore does not distinguish between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae. However, the Explanatory Memorandum to the International Crimes Act refers to this distinction. It indicates that immunity ratione personae entails immunity for both official and private acts. Without such far-reaching, full immunity the persons entitled to personal immunity could not perform their functions.
8. But the Explanatory Memorandum also indicates that, in general, rules of international immunity law have gradually become less absolute and more relative, for example by accepting that heads of state and government and foreign ministers, after they have ceased to hold office will no longer enjoy immunity for private acts committed while in office.
9. This trend towards more limited immunity has continued in the Netherlands in recent years. Last year the independent Advisory Committee on Issues of Public International Law (CAVV) has presented a report on the immunity of foreign state officials[1]. The Advisory Committee draws a clear distinction between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae. One of the findings in this report is that immunity ratione materiae does not extend to international crimes committed in the course of duty. Only persons enjoying immunity ratione personae are entitled to full immunity, including immunity for the exercise of jurisdiction over international crimes. The Dutch Government has agreed to these findings.
10. The second question raised by the ILC is "What criteria are used in identifying the persons covered by immunity ratione personae?" In the Netherlands, such criteria have not been explicitly mentioned. However, in general, the approach has been to refer to international law: those persons who under international law enjoy immunity ratione personae are entitled to full immunity in the Dutch legal order. This approach is reflected in Article 16 of the International Crimes Act, to which I referred earlier. The advantage of this approach is clearly that new developments in international law in this area may therefore directly be applied in the Dutch legal order. At present, the following categories of persons enjoy full immunity from criminal jurisdiction in the Netherlands: the troika, accredited diplomats, members of 'official missions', and persons who have such immunity under any convention applicable to the Netherlands.
11. We strongly encourage the ILC to bring as much clarity as possible in the lex lata and to be courageous to develop lex ferenda, in harmony with the existing rules and principles in the relevant branches of international law. We fully support the workplan proposed by the Special Rapporteur, we look forward to the coming discussions on this topic, and very much hope they will lead to some tangible results.
Chapter VII
(Provisional Application of Treaties)
Mr. Chairman,
12. Turning to the topic of the Provisional Application of Treaties, we note the decision of the Commission to include this topic in its Work programme. We read the report of Special Rapporteur Gómez-Robledo and the ensuing discussion in the Commission, with interest.
13. It is clear from the many points addressed by the Commission, that the identification of the issues to be covered is still in the initial stage. The decision to take Article 25 of the Vienna Convention of the law of treaties and its travaux as the starting point makes sense, and we would welcome an analysis of the customary status of article 25, since, as yet, only 128 States are Parties to the Vienna Convention. A clarification on the customary status of Article 25 would thus be of importance for our understanding of the issue.
14. We consider provisional application an important instrument of international treaty practice. However, we would like to draw attention to the importance of domestic law in this respect. It is after all for individual States to determine whether or not their legal system allows for provisional application and, if so, on what conditions and to what extent. It may be difficult to draw any general rules from this diversity. We therefore call into question, for example, whether the ILC should take up questions such as which organs would be competent to decide on provisional application. This would seem to surpass the mere stock-taking of state law and practice. In the same vein we would advocate, at least at this stage of the discussions, that the ILC-study on this topic should result in guidelines and model clauses rather than in draft articles.
Chapter VIII
(Formation and Evidence of Customary International Law)
Mr. Chairman,
15. It is with pleasure that I now turn to address the ILC's initial steps in discussing the formation of customary law. We would like to commend the Special Rapporteur, Sir Michael Wood, on his introductory steps, highlighting the key questions in this field. The formation of customary international law is a complex matter. It is elliptical, and those of us who have tried to teach the subject know that this is difficult and at times untransparent.
16. States may at times have an interest in not being too specific about which rules they would consider to be rules of customary law, or how such rules have come to be customary law. The evaluation of the formation of a customary law rule will normally take place behind closed doors. Clarity will often only appear if a particular situation specifically calls for a determination. While there may be academic interest, there is often no need for precise or explicit determinations, which suggests the absence of a pressing need for the ILC to consider this subject.
17. However, the formation and evidence of customary international law is a fundamental issue at the very heart of international law. It is thus an issue par excellence for the ILC to discuss. The Commission is aware of the risk that this subject too broad in scope, and we trust that this project will be well managed in terms of its duration and the size of the work. Today, I wish to address three specific issues we feel have not been raised by the ILC so far.
Mr. Chairman,
18. The discussion in the ILC seems to focus on the role of domestic judges in the determination of what is (or is not) customary law. We have some hesitation with respect to whether this should be such a dominant perspective. It should be noted that whether domestic judges have the ability to even make such determinations, depends on the domestic legal system and whether or how it is possible to rely on international law before domestic courts.
19. We note that in national legal systems – even if they may be very open to international law – it is not a given that domestic courts have the ability to refer to customary international law. On the basis of established caselaw domestic courts in the Netherlands may be prevented from taking customary law into account in certain situations, whereas courts will be able to rely on custom in other instances. Thus the role of domestic courts is much more related to the parameters set by domestic law than by customary law itself.
20. Also, I would note that it is not be correct to assume that governments necessarily have the possibility to present their views on customary law before domestic courts. Often domestic systems will prevent States from participating in a case between two parties, and the option of submitting Amicus Curiae briefs or similar legal opinions does not always exist. This again is an issue determined within domestic law, and indeed constitutional law. For these reasons we are hesitant with respect to the ILC primarily relying on the evaluation by domestic judges as their primary perspective.
Mr. Chairman,
21. I wish to address another issue that has not yet appeared in the discussions, and it is related to language. The rules on the formation of customary law hold no requirements as to the language in which the component elements of customary law need to be expressed.
22. Yet, a language bias may be developing. It would appear that in current practice, the evaluation of the evidence of customary international law tends to focus on practice that is available in one of the official languages of the UN. We would note that – even if article 38 of the ICJ Statute is authoritative in the six official languages – there is no requirement in international law for practice to be accessible in any of these six languages. Relevant practice or indeed relevant opinio iuris may be expressed in many languages, and it will not legally be any less relevant to the formation of customary law.
23. Clearly there is also a financial aspect to this – many institutions (whether governments or academia) produce well-organized and extremely useful overviews of recent state practice. States using other than the official (UN) languages, may make efforts to translate relevant practice when the financial means exist. But such means do not always exist in reality, so practice is unrecorded or not accessible. The same goes for judicial decisions that may not be available in any of the UN's official languages.
24. We would suggest the Commission gives consideration to the language used in the expression of the opinio iuris (which we understand will be discussed at a later stage) and in the presentation of practice – whether it be in government statements before courts or in academic overviews of official practice and the like.
25. A final comment goes to the role of international organizations. We believe that the ILC's work on the formation and evidence of customary international law in this day and age will require consideration of the role of international organizations in order to be realistic. This issue is to come up at a later stage of the work, but I would at this time already like to point to what is an important issue in our view.
26. While international organizations and their growing practice have developed over the years and occupy a specific place in the international system, the understanding of their role in the formation of customary international law is still developing. We therefore suggest that the ILC will pay adequate attention to the 'international organizations dimension' of its work on this topic. For example: if, or to what extent, is it necessary to take into account the practice of international organizations when establishing whether there is extensive or virtually uniform practice? Can international organizations be persistent objectors and in this way not become bound by rules of customary law? We would also suggest to include the specific question whether the practice of international organizations, and indeed legal opinions expressed by them, should be attributed to the international organization only, as it is a legal person separate from its members. Or could such practice and legal opinion also under certain circumstances be attributed to member states members?
Chapter IX
(Obligation to Prosecute or Extradite)
Mr. Chairman,
27. Turning to the topic of the Obligation to Prosecute or Extradite, let me thank the Commission for the work it has done so far. My Government would like to stress out the importance of this topic in the fight against impunity for international crimes. At the same time I would like to - again - express our disappointment about the apparent lack of progress.
28. As we stated before, the work of the Commission in this field can potentially be a significant contribution to the development of an effective international criminal justice system. We therefor note with some concern that the Commission is considering whether or not to continue with this topic. We would urge the Commission to the Commission to continue the work in this field, as a matter of priority. My Governments' position remains that the work of the Commission should eventually result in presenting draft articles, based on the general framework agreed in 2009.
Chapter X
(Treaties over Time)
Mr. Chairman,
29. With regard to the topic of Treaties over Time, we thank the Commission for its work so far, and more specifically the Special Rapporteur, Professor George Nolte. In our view the inclusion of this topic to the work programme of the ILC is of great importance. It is well-known that the founding fathers of the Vienna Convention of the law on treaties, when discussing the present Article 31 of the Convention, more or less abandoned the issue of inter-temporality and we believe that time is right that this subject be revisited.
30. Although we understand that the ILC decided to limit its present study to special regimes related to subsequent agreements and subsequent practice, we would certainly welcome a decision of the ILC to include other issues related to treaties over time in its study. We therefore ask the ILC to consider to continue its work on the topic after finalizing its present study.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Wary of next 4 years
Charles W. Ford
I wish someone would explain to me why people in this country that is so economically distressed voted for a candidate who promised to keep them in poverty by pursuing failed socialist policies that are destroying this once-great nation.
Let the government give out more free stuff to keep it this way, and it's getting worse, because it's a matter of "tell me what you want to hear, not the way it really is."
There really wasn't much difference between either of the presidential candidates.
I'm an Independent and worked all my life. I see what's going on around me and it doesn't look good.

Cops Who Body-Slammed Wheelchair-Bound Man Won't Be Charged
Here we see two D.C. transit police officers apprehending a wheelchair-bound man named Dwight Harris by throwing him to the ground with such force that a pool of his blood forms on the sidewalk. Why do they do this? Oh, because Harris was allegedly drinking some alcoholic devil-drink in public.
Harris also supposedly assaulted at least one of the officers, though the video shows no such attack. The Washington Post reports that Harris' assault charge was dropped not long after this cell phone horror movie showed up on YouTube; the drinking charge was as well. Despite this fact, and the other fact that Harris was unceremoniously thrown to the ground and needed stitches because of the whole blood-pouring-out-of-his-head problem, the two officers who apprehended him won't face any federal criminal civil rights charges:
In a statement Saturday, DOJ spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa said there was insufficient evidence to pursue charges after investigators interviewed witnesses and reviewed training records, video and medical reports. "Accident, mistake, fear, negligence or bad judgment are not sufficient to establish such a criminal violation," she said.
While the feds conducted their investigation, the cops were placed on administrative duty with pay. Now that they're off the hook, they'll be put back on the street. To serve and protect! To throw and to slam! Disabled D.C. residents should probably move to Takoma Park.

About This Book
The New York Times describes Robert McCloskey's Caldecott Medal-winning book as "one of the merriest picture books ever." Young children will delight in the story of a mother duck's search for the perfect place to lay her eggs, as well as her loving protection of the brood once they are hatched.
Mr. and Mrs. Mallard swim and fly around Boston looking for a safe place to nest, but they are always met with imperfect conditions, be it a lack of peanuts to eat, or heedless bicyclists who threaten to mow them down as they stroll innocently down the sidewalk. Finally, a spot near Boston's Public Garden offers them an adequate home; no foxes or turtles to vex them, lots of peanuts from kindly park-goers, and the benevolence of a local police officer.
When the ducklings are born, they are named for each letter of the alphabet from J to Q: Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack, the reading of which is sure to please the ears of every child. Mid-story, Mr. Mallard ventures over to the Public Garden, and asks Mrs. Mallard to meet him there in a week.
In a gently absurd scene, the police of Boston come to the aid of a proud Mrs. Mallard marching her brood through the streets to meet her husband. The family is reunited in the end, and finds a wonderful island in the Public Garden that becomes the best home of all.
McCloskey's soft, brown-toned illustrations evocatively bring to life the Boston of the 1940s. This book gives readers a fine opportunity to explore life in a simpler time, as well as discover facts about the habits and habitats of Mallard ducks.

Countdown to US Independence Day 2008 – Top 10 National Parks – Yellowstone National Park
One of America's greatest treasures is its National Park system. Today there are nearly 400 national parks in every state in the Union except Delaware.
So join us as we continue our countdown to Independence Day 2008 with a look at our top ten national parks. Why not visit one of them this 4th of July to truly experience America?
Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone was America's first national park, established by Executive Order of President Grant in 1872. Straddling the borders of three western states — Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, Yellowstone is best known for Old Faithful. The park is also home to a host of smaller (but still extraordinary) geysers and a variety of wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk.
Most park entrances are closed during the winter months (September or October until April or May), making Independence Day perfect timing for Yellowstone. While you're visiting, enjoy backcountry hiking, camping, bicycling, boating, fishing, horseback riding, and llama packing.
Temperatures in Yellowstone are moderate in the summer, but given the high elevation (most of the park is above 7,500 feet), conditions can be unpredictable.
Entrance Fees: $25 for private car, good for up to one week.
For more information: Visit www.yellowstone.net or call the visitor's center at (307) 344-7381
Check back each day for another Top 10 National Park (or you can cheat and check out our top 10 parks here).

Comments: I first tried KT tape after coming back from an elbow injury & one of the guys on our team who is a physical therapist recommended this tape. Very skeptical before trying it thinking regular trainers tape could do the same job, but this tape is very different in terms of elasticity & support. I would definitely recommend it.
If you're unsure of how to tape the area, try Youtube for proper way to apply.

Nice Boots
"I ordered these from the Wanted website in the brown color. I am usually a size 8.5 plus I have wide feet. Unfortunately the shoes were bit big when it came my foot arch. But it fit my calves. So I wear athletic socks with these boots and they fit perfect. The treads are great and they can withstand snow and ice."
