Nice landlady, great location, very central, cozy apartment, unfortunately beds totally worn out and a bit dusty.
Nette Vermieterin, super Lage, sehr zentral, urige Wohnung, leider Betten total durchgelegen und etwas staubig.
We were picked up at the boat stop, which worked fine, great service! The apartment is very nice, the rooms quite large. The kitchen is well equipped. (Abwaschmachine!) For 5 people space is limited. The 5th bed stehtin the kitchen in front of the bin and the washing trough. Prepare for breakfast no Probllem for properly cooking it would be tight. WiFi did not work. There has 2 screen.The apartment is located in a nice quiet location and is easy to find. we would certainly come back.
wir wurden an der Boothaltestelle abgeholt, das hat wunderbar geklappt, super Service! Die Wohnung ist sehr schön,die Zimmer recht gross. Die Küche ist gut eingerichtet.(Abwaschmachine!) Für 5 Personen ist der Platz knapp. Das 5.Bett stehtin der Küche vor dem Abfalleimer und dem Abwaschtrog. Zum Frühstück zubereiten kein Probllem, zum richtig Kochen wäre es eng. WiFi hat nicht funktioniert. Dafür hat es 2 Fernseher.Die Wohnung befindet sich in einer schönen, ruhigen Lage und ist gut zu finden. wir würden sicher wiederkommen.
A truly Biennale appartment: just around the corner of the Giardini and the Arsenale, but also in walking distance to other pavillons in the city, the collaterali and the museums. The apartment is situated in a still calm and popular neighbourhood with a couple of nice and popular places to go (for breakfast, lunch and dinner).
I don't want to be fussy, but there's a very unpleasant smell in the bathroom and the reception and cleaning fee is a bit over the top. BUT the receptionist provided us with a very good map of Venice! And the apartment is clean and tidy.
Apart from that: Everything was fine with us. I definitely recommend this apartment especially to art lovers and in general to travelers looking for an accomodation which is not very far from all the gorgeous places in Venice but far enough 'off the beaten track'.
The location of the flat is very good. It is close to the boat stop and to a walking area as well.
The arrangement of the flat is appropriate. The bedrooms are separated from the kitchen and from the bathroom.
The beds are comfortable the kitchen is well equipped.
In a nutshell we were very pleased with this appartement and can recommend it as a good accommodation.
Peter Kövecses from Hungary
We (2 couples) made us feel very comfortable in the apartment, it is the quiet area arsenals and still very central. We would come back any time.
Wir (2 Paare) haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt, sie liegt im ruhigen Viertel Arsenale und trotzdem ganz zentral. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
The apartment is ideally located for the Biennale and conform to its description. Two small flats on my assessment: - the fact that the rooms are on the back on the back of some pavilions "giardini" and the whole machinery of the buildings air conditioning starts at 5am. .. Therefore, do not sleep with open windows ... - The welcome is assured by an authorized provider by Valentina makes you go to the charge to the building from the point of appointment then mechanically delivers all the instructions to you. It's a bit cold and impersonal. In addition, you do not have a choice but to pay 85 € for the delivery of end of stay cleaning. It is good to know in advance. Otherwise, Venice is a wonderful city of course!
L'appartement est idéalement situé pour la Biennale et conforme à sa description. Deux petits bémols sur mon appréciation :
- le fait que les chambres donnent sur l'arrière face à l'arrière de certains pavillons des "giardini" et que toute la machinerie de climatisation de ces bâtiments se met en marche à 5 heures du matin... Eviter donc de dormir les fenêtres ouvertes...
- l'accueil est assuré par un prestataire mandaté par Valentina qui vous fait aller au pas de charge jusqu'à l'immeuble depuis le point de rendez-vous puis qui débite mécaniquement toutes les consignes à vous donner. C'est un peu froid et impersonnel. De plus, vous n'aurez pas le choix que de verser 85 € pour la prestation de ménage de fin de séjour. C'est bon à savoir à l'avance.
Sinon, Venise reste une ville merveilleuse bien sûr !!!
The flat is very confortable, and extremelly well situated, at the heart of venice. Marco (Valentina assistant) who received us is very efficient and polite. For sure a good choice.
A lovely accommodation close to Rialto (5 min away walking) and with all the necessary facilities around it. Very quiet in the night, it has two double room and a living room with a double bed futon .... more than enough to sleep up to 6 adults if needed! We were a family of four and the two kids were able to have their own room. The kitchenette has a nice view over a small canal (which is the picture posted on the site) and we enjoyed sitting at the small table in the evening drinking Prosecco and watching people walking and chatting over the little bridge. Al in all a very positive experience with only one recommendation: it would be good if the two air conditioning units could have their exhaust pipes permanently fixed on the wall with an outside hole. Having to keep the windows open for the hot air to be disposed reduced dramatically the efficiency of the air conditioning and we were never able to properly cool down the apartment.
LOCATION.....Very Good. Nice quite location just around the corner from San Marcuola Casino Vaporetto stop which provides easy access to the rest of the attractions.
ACCOMMODATION ..... A little on the sparse side but clean with everything you would need. The property maintenance could be improved. When we arrived there were several lights out, the towel rail in the small bathroom would not turn off making it unpleasantly hot. The shower was a disaster. It leaked, would not stay on the mounting rail due to the wrong fittings being used, one of two air con units was unusable due to the noise it made.
VALUE FOR MONEY......Not bad. Our stay would have been so much better had the apartment been assessed and repairs carried out prior to our arrival.
Apartment large and very well located, 10 minutes from St. Mark's Square and very close to the bridge dell 'Accademia. Small problem: a very unpleasant smell in the bathroom, that fail to hide the many deodorants ...
Appartement vaste et très bien situé, à 10 minutes de la place Saint Marc et très près du pont dell' Accademia. Petit problème : une odeur très désagréable dans la salle de bains, que n'arrivent pas à masquer les nombreux désodorisants...

Beet Root (Beta vulgaris rubra )Latin Name: Beta vulgaris rubra
Common Names: Beet root
Beet Root, or Beta vulgaris rubra, is a vegetable. However the Beet Root was once considered an herb. So the beet root we know now is only about 300 years old. The original whole form for this organic herb started out looking like a carrot.
Beta vulgaris rubru has been claimed to have many helpful uses. Of course everyone knows beets are good to eat, they are actually the sweetest of all vegetables. Beet Root Powder is rich in antioxidants as well. Quality bulk herbs like Beet Root Powder can be added to nutritional drinks or added to flavor food.
Two teaspoons of Beet Root Powder has similar nutritional value as a full serving of beets.
Setting the industry standard for bulk herbs for sale has been Starwest's primary goal since its beginnings. As a leading distributor for bulk wholesale herbs we offer beet root powder as well as many other necessities. Our selection of organic herbs will have you understanding why we are a one stop site for your quality bulk herbs needs from seeds, whole or ground herbs and spices in bulk.

(WESTON, Mo.) The Lawson boys have captured back-to-back KCI Conference titles, which made them a favorite again heading into this season.
But, they have a strong contender breathing down their neck in West Platte.
Players and coaches around the conference had talked of the Blue Jays as a team to beat when the season began.
That talent was on display first-hand when they knocked off the defending conference champs to win the early-season KCI Tournament.
"It's fun to go out there and improve every game and come away with a win," senior guard Matthew Heili said. "But we also saw some room for improvement. It's a good thing to see where we're at at the start of the season."
Where they are is a perfect 9-0 start, with nine days still before their next game. Perhaps they could be the top dog early on in the KCI, as every one of their victories has come by double digits.
But the team knows they still have a long way to go to overthrow the Cardinals.
"When they've won it the last two years they'll be ready," head coach Zane Tanner said. "They're well-coached. Brad Smith does a great job."
Following the loss of Hunter Faris, the Blue Jays have moved from zone to a man-to-man look on defense. The change of pace and focus has caught everyone's attention.
"It's like night and day from last year," junior forward/guard Adam Roe said. "Our whole focus has been on defense. We just do defense and let offense take care of itself."
"Even making the extra pass is fun because then you see a guy get a dunk or hit an open three and the crowd goes nuts," Heili said. "You feed off that and it's been really fun."
West Platte certainly has the athleticism to both pass and dunk.
Athletic bodies like Nathan Coulson and Bryce Cashman in the post mixed with guard play of Heili and Logan Moose will have many eyes on the Blue Jays heading into 2013.
"I kind of like the fact that people are gunning for you," Tanner said. "I think it makes you more prepared every time you play. We've talked about that, we come to practice, we try to get better."
"We know we're going to get every team's best, so we've got to give our best every night," Roe added.
"We can't just take it for granted and go out on the court thinking we're going to win," Heili said. "We have to go out and prove it."
With a six-game run through the conference until their rematch with Lawson, Tanner and company have plenty more tests to see how far they can go.
"The stretch of these next couple months in our conference, it'll be good for us to be able to lean back on that knowing, if we give that type of effort, we should be able to compete for a championship," he said.

Looking good. The hand doesn't stay consistent though, when you switch to the pistol (it turns into the Doom guy's hands). So I would do either complete respriting or just use the entire Outlaws sprite set.

I fixed that, their Z height wasn´t high enough, but I didn´t get this error here so I didn´t notice that :/

Chapter 7
David offers to build a house for the Lord—The Lord, through Nathan, says He has not asked David to do so—The Lord will establish David's house and kingdom forever—David offers a prayer of thanksgiving.
1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him
2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine
4 ¶And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an
6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an
8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the
9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11 And as since the time that I commanded
12 ¶And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy
13 He shall
14 I will be his
15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
16 And thine
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
18 ¶Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?
20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God,
21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these
22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none
23 And what one
24 For thou hast
25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house,
26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be
29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

I only watched Lost and Heroes, since theire newest seasons are finished, I started Jericho a few monthgs ago and this summer I started Studio 60, The Nine and Hidden Palms.
I started watching that new show Greek, other than that I usually only catch shows like American Idol and America's got Talent
The Wire > all.
But I also watch:
- South Park
- Lost
- Heroes
- Prison Break
- Futurama (starting again soon!!)
The only thing I keep up with (or at least try to) is Ninja Warrior (Sasuke) on G4. The obstacles they have look pretty fun. Oh, there's also this one series that looks promising on the History Channel called Human Weapon. The first episode in Thailand about the various styles and history of Muay Thai was pretty interesting. I'm looking forward to next week's show in the Philippines.
Numb3rs, Heroes, Family Guy, South park, The 4400, Scrubs, Red vs Blue
Heroes, Prison Break and Lost, all are awesome, still need to catch up on the later two though,
I doesn't watch so many Tv series, only Lost. I've borrowed House from a friend but I haven't hade time yet to watch it.
Summer always brings most of my T.V. watching to a halt. With the exception of "How I Met Your Mother" (great show if you haven't seen it), I barely watch any T.V. and instead watch mostly movies (rented and in the theaters). During the Fall/Winter lineups I usually watch: 24, Lost, Heroes, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock and Studio 60.
Naruto (just to see how the translators slaughter it each week)
Bleach too (and for the same reasons)
Battlestar Galactica (the new one)

With New Winnipeg Jets Jerseys Unveiled; Home Opener Due Up Next
Matt Eichel
September 06 2011 06:32PM
The best kept (or worst kept) secret in Winnipeg has now been revealed as the Winnipeg Jets hockey club unveiled their new jerseys at the 17 Wing Canadian Air Force Base on Tuesday afternoon.
Amid the sunny, beautiful day in St. James, three Jets players - Eric Fehr, Mark Stuart, Nik Antropov, and captain Andrew Ladd - previewed the jerseys walking out of, nothing less than - a Jet.
The new jerseys pay hommage to the Royal Canadian Air Force with its "Polar Night Blue" and its "Aviator Blue". Going with the main blue colour may also pay hommage to the former Winnipeg Jets jerseys with a slightly different blue hue to it.
The "Aviator Blue" colour pays special hommage as it was used by the 1948 RCAF Flyers, a jersey that the ex-Manitoba Moose showcased during an Armed Forces games in 2008.
"We wanted to create a look that worked well with Reebok's modern and innovative "Edge System" uniforms," said Kevin Cheveldayoff, Executive Vice-President & General Manager of the Winnipeg Jets via jets.nhl.com.
"However, it was also vitally important to us to honour the rich history of hockey in our city, and fit the era of the Royal Canadian Air Force which inspired the primary crest design. The result is clean, simple and traditional."
And the jersey is just that - clean, simple, and traditional.
It is simple enough to catch and please any NHL fan to want to buy it - even as a collector's item.
Authentic "Pro-Wear" jerseys will not be available until early October, while "Premier" Replica Jerseys will be available in two to three weeks, in plenty of time for the home opener.
Additionally, the Jets will be wearing a commemorative, opening night patch during their home opener October 9th against the Montreal Canadiens, commemorating their return to the NHL. During the other 81 games, the Jets will wear an inaugural season patch to signify their NHL return.
Admittedly, as a Jets fan, these jerseys are pretty slick and sleek. However, despite being a fan, these jerseys will catch the attention of fans league wide.
The new jerseys signify not only the presence of the NHL in Winnipeg after a fifteen year absence, but of Winnipeg's presence in Canada, North America, and the world. As in the words of Kevin Cheveldayoff, the jerseys do pay hommage to the men and women who have fought and served with the RCAF over the last century and beyond.
To check out the entire gallery of pictures of the jersey unveiling, they are available at jets.nhl.com as well as the Press Conference on YouTube here.
Also be sure to check out the painting of centre ice at the MTS Centre via Winnipeg Free Press TV as well.
September 07 2011, 06:59AM
I really like them, but in talking to people there are really mixed reactions. The fans that don't like the logo obviously don't like the jersey, because the result (above) is really the only logical direction to take it.
I'll be wearing a Jets shirt to whatever home games I manage to get tickets to, and if my parents don't get me a jersey for Christmas, I'll pick one up with my waiting list discount.
September 07 2011, 04:32PM
Jerseys are nice enough but as others have said "wanted to love them but only like them". And that's probably because they do pay homage to the air force and thusly are clean and simple but pretty nice actually. I like the fact they avoided red (old Jets) but more grey and added creativity without being crazy would be nice too. Perhaps the pants and socks will be really different and be grey for pants and the brighter blue for socks as far as color...probably not.

for the Nation Fund
New Acquisition
26 November 2005 – 5 February 2006
In May 2003 the National Gallery of Australia established an annual fundraising appeal — Masterpieces for the Nation Fund — to grow the existing support for the Gallery's acquisition and exhibitions programs. To date the fund has received contributions from more than 100 supporters, and William Robinson's Creation landscape — fountains of the Earth 2002 is the initial work purchased with this assistance.
Dr Brian Kennedy, Director of the NGA, states:
'The National Gallery has waited patiently in recent years for a major work by Bill Robinson. Creation landscape is the painting we have been waiting for — a superb, majestic panorama from daybreak to moonlight across the tropical rainforest, all in one picture. This is a truly grand painting by a great Australian landscape painter.'
William Robinson was born in 1936 and grew up in Brisbane, where he undertook studies at the Queensland Teachers' College and the Central Technical College. After graduating, Robinson began his teaching career, and painted part-time during the ensuing years while raising his family with wife Shirley. He left teaching to become a full-time painter in 1989. Robinson moved from being a classically trained artist with a love of colour who painted interiors, to an artist who enthusiastically embraced the visual possibilities of rural life, and his work later evolved into a much more expansive and complex vision of the natural world. He has emerged as a major force in Australian art and has been described as one of the most important Australian landscape artists of the late 20th century. He has proven himself to be tremendously popular with the general public, and has also received considerable critical acclaim in recent years. He has twice won both the Archibald Prize for portraiture, and the Wynne Prize for landscape painting.
Measuring almost five metres in length Creation landscape — fountains of the Earth is a breathtaking work. The viewer is drawn into the painting as an active participant; as though to imaginatively, viscerally and spiritually experience the different moods of the rainforest surroundings in which Robinson has lived and worked over many years.
The journey begins in the morning with sun shining through the trees in the bottom left hand corner of the painting; its gentle diaphanous rays enlivening the dense forest. The central areas of the painting include trees encountered from multiple viewpoints, so characteristic of Robinson's rainforest landscapes. The rainforest itself is depicted in great detail, which helps to convey a simultaneously ancient and burgeoning environment, with its natural diversity, lush growth, mature trunks, myriad tendril roots, soft sprouting tree ferns and delicate mosses. The right side of the work moved out to a moonlight seascape and a starry night sky peeping through the trees in the very bottom right of the painting. Flowing out of the centre of the work is a stream of water as well as a pool or 'fountain' nourishing the Earth.

Skip to comments.VIPs toast Mikhail Gorbachev's 80th birthday
Posted on 03/30/2011 9:52:38 PM PDT by FredDardick
When the birthday boy is a Nobel Peace Prize winner and widely acknowledged as 'The man who changed the world', you can expect some big names to turn up to raise a toast and help blow out the candles.
Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev celebrated his 80th birthday with a glitzy charity gala at the Royal Albert Hall tonight, attended by a host of VIPs, from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Hollywood ladies Sharon Stone and Goldie Hawn.
Stone acted as host for the evening, alongside Kevin Spacey, at a fund-raising concert featuring Katherine Jenkins, Shirley Bassey, Bryan Ferry, Mel C and the London Symphony Orchestra.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
And someplace in Heaven Reagan is toasting too...and throwing back his head and laughing at the fact that Gorby got the Nobel and he didn't....
"The man who changed the world" because it was the only option President Ronald Wilson Reagan gave him.
"I smell a big, fat Commie rat."
(thanx to general Buck Turgidson)
The man who changed the world because it was the only option President Ronald Wilson Reagan gave him.
You beat me to it....almost word per word. Thanks.
Revisionist history bastards. Ronnie Reagan is smiling and comfortable.
That's perfect! Ronnie Reagan gets the last laugh at these bastards.
God Bless President Reagan. I wish he were here for us now.
Great Minds Think Alike. That happens a lot here.
Great Minds Think Alike.
I thought of what it means about 3 seconds after I hit "Post".
You're right, FRiend.
Gorbachev is part of the GREEN party....which is the COMMIE party.....so....I see he had his commie friends celebrating with him...
A little information that I'm proud of. My Dad and RR were friends before World War II, lost contact during the war, and after the war they contacted one another again. They stayed in touch and we visited Sacramento when he RR was governor and had a nice weekend with the Reagans. My Dad died in 1974 and we received a very nice card from RR and Nancy. My oldest brother received a phone call from RR on the occasion. He and Mike Reagan were little buddies as children.
I heard him give a speech a few years ago, and he's still bitter about Reagan getting any credit for ending the Cold War, or the fall of the Berlin Wall.
He's continues to tell the world he was the one who brought about change in the Soviet Union.
I wonder if President Reagan would be attending this event if he were still alive.
I didn't appreciate it all at the time as I should have. I do now. I do remember that the Reagans were normal people and he and Dad laughed a lot.
Thanks for listening, FWF.
Thanks for the story. I think it's great anytime someone can come that close to American history.
Oh please just a bunch of low life celebrities.
Damn shame Patton couldn't make it. As I recall he was very tactful about toasting Russians.
Many of the same "VIPs" recently gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation, too. Hollywood is full of disgusting people.
The usual Hollywood commies guest list...
Celebrating in London, but not Moscow? Why? Because the Russians despise this man. He's the "Russian Jimmy Carter."
At least he gets to die in bed, unlike some other fallen dictators.
Mikhail Gorbachev is not popular in Russia. He is seen as a failed leader.
He is more popular in the West than among his own people.
I got a chance to hear Lech Walesa speak at my University. Walesa did a question and answer session in which one of the people in attendance asked him about his opinion of Gorbachev. I will never forget Walesa's reply:
"Gorbachev never renounced communism. He wanted to make it more effective and the world was so impressed by his complete failure that they awarded him the Nobel Prize."
There was another moment after the speech when an elderly Polish man who had been in the Polish resistance to Communism and Nazism in WW2 and after before fleeing to the US called Walesa his idol. Both men hugged each other on stage.

i haven't seen any transmogs for this robe really so i came up with one last night, boots aren't final but they were the best i had on a whim.
item list in case anyone is curious:
head: shadoweave mask
shoulders: felcloth shoulders
chest: robe of volatile power
hands: dark storm gauntlets
belt: deathmage sash
boots: currently vindicator's mooncloth slippers, plan to use ruby slippers whenever i get them
weapon: exodar life-staff
if anyone has an advice on better matching items let me know ^_^
I might go with http://www.wowhead.com/item=21275#. The colors match a bit more with your current scheme, at least imo.
maybe, i didn't have it already so i just went with whatever i had that matched the best, plus i think the augur staff would show the stupid green glow more, which would definitely clash more
Finally got my straw hat. I wanted to make a similar set with the Mechbuilder's Overalls, but I probably wouldn't live long enough to see this darn thing.
Thunderbluff High Priest of Purifying Flames
Bloodsnout the Astral Walker
I have to say of all the transmogs I've submitted between my characters, this one is hands down my favorite. It started with the staff, followed by a lucky double whammy of the belt and robe off Ordos last week. Hoping for something to tie it together with the shoulders I was fortunate to have the Mantle of Closed Doors drop that same week. Top it off with the Jewel and bam! it looks great. All newer items with great rendering and color scheme which I thought was fitting for my Horde Tauren. Cannot wait to see how it looks outfitted on an updated model. This is a combo Ill be running around in for awhile.
Head: Jewel of the Firelord
Shoulders: Mantle of Closed Doors
Chest: Catia's Flowing Robes
Gloves: Handwraps of the Cleansing Flame
Belt: Derevka's Gleaming Girdle
Staff: Spire of Coagulated Globules
My Sen'jin Shadow-Walker;
Amazing sig, done by mighty Lokann
The chest is Stormspire Vest, which has those little arm sleeve thingies that you don't get with the mageweave vest. Combine with Darkbind Fingers for the full-set look. Gilded Thorium Cloak from Kara. Supposed to be wearing Soulcatcher Halo, which is plain - you can see it on the third set.
Elegant chest, because the Cindercloth chest doesn't have the little arm sleeve thingies. Naxx 10 shoulders. Prophecy belt. Infernoweave boots from Shattrath JP vendor. Elegant circlet, because it's got some red in it. Cloak of the Betrayed from MGT. Earthmender's Bracelet of Shattering and Gloves of the High Magus for wrists / gloves.
Elegant chest, legs and shoulders. Gnomish Casting Boots from Toshley's Station match the set art better than Elegant boots. This vcolour version of the set doesn't have matching gloves though, so I found the Sterile Flesh-Handling Gloves from Ebon Blade to be a fitting match. Icy Cloak. The belt is from an extremely rare tailoring recipe, but there are plenty that could work. Soulcatcher Halo again. I completed this set most recently and am looking for shoulders that might match with it. T5 seems to work nicely.
So I'm going with this set but I don't know what staff I should go with, anyone here got sugestions?
how do you like this priestly look
by the way any advice for helm? or keep it nonvisible?:<
You are not your role. You are not how much gold you have on your account.
You are not the mount you ride. You are not the contents of your bank.
You are not your epic purples. You are not a special and unique snowflake.
You are the all-grinding, all-farming crap of Azeroth.

17-543 Program Solicitation
Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 17-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after January 30, 2017. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 17-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
The polar regions have been called Earth's window to outer space. This term originally applied to study of the aurora and other phenomena related to interaction of solar wind (ionized plasma blown from the Sun) with the Earth's magnetosphere. In this context, the polar upper atmosphere is a screen on which the results of such interaction can be viewed and through which other evidence of space physics processes can pass. Today, the concept of Earth's polar atmosphere as a window also includes research in other fields. For example, favorable atmospheric conditions and the unique location of Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on the high Antarctic plateau enable astronomers and astrophysicists to use this window to understand better the internal structure of the Sun, to study our Milky Way and other galaxies, and to probe the early Universe with unprecedented precision. Antarctica's deep, clear ice sheet also is a window, providing a transparent medium for detection of neutrinos - elusive particles that fill space and easily pass through Earth. The cubic-kilometer IceCube Neutrino Observatory is being built in the ice sheet at the South Pole to make use of this dense, transparent medium.
The Antarctic Astrophysics and Geospace Sciences Program supports studies of three major domains:
Middle and upper atmosphere - mesosphere and thermosphere. Current research focuses on atmospheric temperature changes and dynamics of neutral winds at altitudes from 30 to a few hundred kilometers, particularly in the context of planetary atmospheric tides and climate change dynamics. The polar upper atmosphere that extends to near-earth space (geospace) is expected to be a field of continued interest and growth.
Near-Earth solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere. This geospace domain derive many of its characteristics from the interplay of the solar wind's ionized plasma flow and energetic charged particles with Earth's magnetic field. The ionosphere is the ultimate sink of solar wind energy and momentum that are transported into the coupled magnetosphere and ionosphere. This energy dissipates in the ionosphere by precipitating charged particles as a result, in part, of resonant wave-particle interactions, and because of the Joule heating that is a result of currents driven by electric fields.
- Astronomy and astrophysical studies of the Universe, including cosmic ray and solar physics. Astrophysical studies are primarily conducted at South Pole Station and on NASA's long-duration balloon flights launched from McMurdo. Research proposals to exploit the special capabilities of these research platforms are welcome. Proposals in astronomy and astrophysics for work at another nation's Antarctic facility are welcome, but they must be collaborative with scientists from the other nation, who are leading the project at their nation's facility.
Major goals are to sponsor research that requires or would benefit from the unique conditions of the southern polar region, to contribute to the understanding of the role of the Antarctic in global environmental processes, or to improve understanding of the Universe. Participation in interdisciplinary studies of the middle and upper atmosphere help to improve understanding of the coupling of the Earth's polar atmosphere with the ionosphere and magnetosphere and of the ways in which both are affected by solar activity.

Amphibian and Reptile Ecotoxicology: Progress and Challenges in Understanding Chemical Effects, Exposure, and Risk
View session recording
Session Description: Understanding exposure, effects and risk of chemical contaminants to amphibians and reptiles remains a significant challenge for the field. Minimal regulatory requirements for research on reptiles and amphibians as well as the diversity of species, habitats and life histories add to the challenge of evaluating contaminant risks to herpetofauna. The purpose of this session is to (1) present data that represents recent advances in our understanding of the effects of chemical contaminants on amphibians and reptiles, (2) improve understanding of contaminant exposure in these organisms and (3) to highlight and discuss new methods and challenges for assessing risk to ensure conservation of amphibian and reptile populations in contaminated areas. We invite all manner of presentations involving reptiles and amphibians in ecotoxicology but submissions regarding the role of taxa-specific physiology (e.g., thermal physiology) and how this may interact or modulate contaminant exposure and effects are of particular interest. Authors are also encouraged to consider the application of their research to the improvement of the risk assessment process for herpetofauna. This session is sponsored by the Ecotoxicology of Amphibians and Reptiles Global Advisory Group. Submissions are welcomed from academia, industry, and government agencies to improve understanding of the exposure and effects of contaminants to these imperiled taxa.

Assessing Contaminant Effects in Multi-stress Ecosystems
View session recordings: Part A | Part B
Session description: Aquatic ecosystems throughout the world are impaired and many in a state of crisis due to multiple stressors such as discharges from industry, agriculture, and treated urban wastewater. This is especially true for estuarine ecosystems where tributaries and major river systems converge with a high degree of human activity. Organisms also respond to habitat degradation, invasive species, and other site specific stressors (e.g., water diversions/controls), in addition to chemical contaminant exposures. The factors and associated interactions contributing to these aquatic ecosystem declines are admittedly complicated and multifaceted. Understanding issues of these types generally require a breadth of analytical techniques and an interdisciplinary team of investigators. Diagnoses of chemical stressor's involvement in complex systems where factors are interrelated and vary spatially and over time are typically hindered by limited data so that robust statistical hypothesis testing and identifying clear relationships are challenging. This emphasizes the need for better data, new methodologies, and integrated assessments of multiple stress responses. This session will focus on integrated assessments of multiple stress responses and analyses of complex environmental data (e.g., the San Francisco Bay-Delta Pelagic Organism Decline). Presentations will highlight lessons learned in the following areas (1) research advances in the diagnosis or prognosis of toxic effects in multi-stress environments, (2) integrated assessment environments receiving multiple stressors, and (3) implications for ecosystem management (case studies for applications).
Contaminants of Emerging Concern for Fish
Session description: Rare and vulnerable fish species are exposed to a variety of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in chemically degraded habitats throughout the world. These CECs include current-use pesticides such as pyrethroids, flame retardants, industrial pollutants, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Exposure to and uptake of these contaminants by fish can lead to tissue residues that may be linked to biological endpoints. Adverse effects may result that range in scale from the molecular to the population, and to the species levels. Ultimately, the goal is to "bridge the gap" from bioaccumulation to effects. Topics of interest include uptake, metabolism, tissue residue approach, gene and protein expression, genotoxicity, immune response, endocrine disruption, and behavioral effects. Also of interest are the use of sentinel species, risk evaluation, and ecological modeling approaches to forecast the impact of these contaminants on fish species with high economic, cultural, or ecological value such as those listed as threatened or endangered.
Decision Analysis for Valuation in Life Cycle Assessment
Session description: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a powerful framework for the environmental evaluation of products, process or technology because it avoids burden shifting across life phases and across environmental impacts. Lessons from LCA studies can be used for product or technology development or to inform policy decisions. However, existing LCA framework and valuation practices are not equipped to manage the complexities of LCA data. Current valuation practices leading to single scores are too simplistic and limit uncertainty analysis. In addition, these valuation approaches rely in normalization databases that do not exist or have data gaps that distort results. Without proper data analysis tools, decision makers are left unaided and subjected to make decisions first impressions or previous stigmas. Therefore, there is an acute need for interpretation methods that can handle the complexities of LCA data. This session discusses advances in decision aid tools that handle uncertainty in weights and parameters, and advance technology comparative assessment.
Ecotoxicology and Risk Assessment of Soils
Session description: The development of new methods for assessment of risks posed by soil contaminants, and the increasing acceptance of the suite of standardized protocols to measure soil toxicology, have facilitated research on the bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants in soils worldwide. The current challenge is how to integrate these data into ecological risk assessments. This session provides a forum for researchers investigating the fate and effects of soil contaminants to report their latest results to concerned parties, and to discuss how this information can be used in risk assessment. The session aims to facilitate discussions among soil environmental toxicologists, environmental chemists, risk assessors, regulators, and citizen groups. It will provide participants with a comprehensive and broad review of the diverse and rapidly evolving fields of soil ecotoxicology and risk assessment.
Emerging Approaches for Rational Design of Chemicals with Minimal Biological Activity
Session description: Raised awareness about adverse biological activity of consumer products on human health is triggering a realization that the current paradigm for designing, producing and regulating chemicals must be reinvented to adequately protect human and eco-health. Such adverse effects arise because most commercial chemicals are not intentionally designed to minimize biological activity. Despite the grand challenge posed by rational design for safety, budding research is providing new tools that can be used not only to predict toxic endpoints, but to also rationalize how a chemical can be designed to minimize toxicity while retaining function. This session will provide a platform for discussing research developments that contribute to this effort, such as approaches that apply medicinal chemistry principles to design chemicals that lack biological activity; ones that apply in silico simulations of chemical/biological reactivity to predict toxicity, ones that derive property-based design guidelines to minimize the probability of adverse biological activity, or ones that utilize data from in vitro assays to reveal relationships between chemical structure, properties/reactivity, and biological activity. All of these approaches contribute to the goal of developing low-cost, up-front approaches to rational design for minimization of toxicity endpoints, thus reducing the cost of experimental testing. This session will further this central goal of green chemistry by providing a platform for discussion and collaboration of toxicologists and chemists.
Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals in the Environment
View session recordings: Part A | Part B (Free)
Session description: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and pharmaceuticals in municipal and industrial effluents, surface waters, sediments, and tissues are impacting the environment. Pathways to the environment have been associated with wastewater discharges, landfill wastes, land application of biosolids, and Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs). Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and biosolids have been implicated as sources of contaminants of emerging concern, such as metabolites of surfactants (e.g., alkylphenol ethoxylates), steroid hormones, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals. CAFOs have the potential to discharge natural steroid hormones, growth promoters, and veterinary pharmaceuticals. The session focuses on: Why do some wastewater treatment designs (e.g., conventional vs. advanced, centralized vs. decentralized) manage CECs better than others? What is the mass loading of EDCs and pharmaceuticals to and from wastewater plants and how do operational characteristics impact efficiency? What are the loadings of EDCs and pharmaceutical from CAFOs? Are existing CAFO management practices (e.g., nutrient management plans) protective to the environment with respect to EDCs and pharmaceuticals? Is pretreatment of concentrated waste streams (e.g., hospital wastes, landfill leachates) efficient and cost effective for reducing loadings to the environment? Platform presentations will include reports on the fate of EDCs and pharmaceuticals within wastewater treatment plants, on-site wastewater systems, biosolids management, landfill wastes, and CAFOs. We anticipate that the audience for this session will include those who are interested in sources of EDCs and pharmaceuticals including toxicologists, engineers and chemists from research, regulatory organizations, and facilities operation (both WWTP and CAFO).
Fate and Effects of Metals
View session recordings: Aquatic Biological Perspective: Dietary and Bioconcentration | Aquatic Biological Perspective: Toxicity Mechanisms
Session description: Advances in the understanding of interactions between accumulation, organism physiology and exposure geochemistry have been instrumental in the development of impact prediction models. Improving and refining current models requires data from a wide range of organisms, metals and water chemistries. The extension of this understanding to different endpoints, molecular mechanisms of toxicity, alternative routes of exposure (e.g., dietary), and mixtures of metals also requires more information. This session will host the latest research on these and similar issues and will be of interest to all those interested in the acute and chronic toxicity of metals to aquatic organisms.
View session recording: Geochemical Perspective
Session description: The chemical speciation of metals is critically important to metal fate and effects in the environment. It impacts all aspects of the life cycle of metals in the environment including their release/source, bioavailability, transport, and ultimate fate. We must therefore constantly seek to increase our understanding of metal speciation in the environment and our ability to describe metal speciation, transport and fate in a quantitative manner. The purpose of this session is to highlight current research directed at these areas. Topics that will be addressed in the session include: (i) new techniques for measuring metal speciation in aquatic systems, (ii) modeling tools for describing the geochemical behavior in sediments and overlying waters, (iii) mechanisms for metal transformation and immobilization, (iv) metal interactions with relevant binding phases such as natural organic matter and mineral surfaces, and (v) application and validation of models using data from field sites. Key questions this session will attempt to answer include: What is being (or can be) done to increase our ability to predict metal speciation quantitatively? Are more mechanistic chemical descriptions required to adequately describe fate and effects of metals in the environment?
View session recording: Marine Concerns
Session description: Metal bioavailability approaches, such as the Biotic Ligand Model, have been successful in establishing Ambient Water Quality Criteria for freshwater environments. Using bioavailability methodologies, appropriate and protective regulatory criteria can be established in a site-specific manner. The majority of water on this planet is not fresh water though. The chemistry and biology of both metals and organisms change as salinity increases. This session will focus on research relevant to assessing the utility of metal bioavailability frameworks for regulatory purposes at elevated salinities (estuarine to full seawater). It is estimated that 70% of the world's population live in coastal environments and metal impacts in saltwater environments are potentially significant, with sources from municipal/industrial effluent, building material runoff, plumbing, anti-fouling paints and sometimes directly from mines and auxiliary facilities operating in coastal areas. To date, saltwater environments have not received as much research attention as freshwater environments and this session aims to pull together experts in the field and summarize the state of the art in understanding saltwater metal bioavailability. Relevant topics include basic saltwater-specific bioavailability research, physiological mechanisms, chemistry (speciation), role of organic matter, salinity as well as toxicity test species to expand the species sensitivity distribution in estuarine and marine environments.
View session recording: Regulatory and Risk Assessment Perspective
Session description: A number of new approaches have been recently been developed to reduce the uncertainty associated with metal toxicity estimates in soils, sediments and aquatic environments (e.g., biotic ligand approaches and SEM-AVS/Foc). The application of these significant advances in science and modeling for metals in aquatic and terrestrial environments can contribute to pollution prevention, discharge objectives, remediation goals and criteria development in regulatory programs. This session will review the significant advances in the science related to metals in the context of risk assessment and regulatory initiatives. There is a strong need to discuss, through examples, case studies and regulatory policy how the new science can, will be, or is being used.
Innovative Environment: New Tools for Addressing Issues in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
Session description: In today's fast paced world, scientists in all disciplines often struggle to stay abreast of new ideas that could facilitate a better understanding of the environment. Innovative ideas can improve on something currently used, adapt something old to a new context, or be completely new. This session is intended to showcase new ideas and innovative technologies in the environmental sciences used to collect, store, manage, or analyze data. The development of smartphone technologies, crowd sourcing, social media, barcode/QR code readers, and other advances are being applied to environmental problems. Presenters are encouraged to submit papers with any new technology that improves our understanding of the environment.
Life Cycle Assessment for Sustainable Practices
The recent attention to quantitative approaches to informing sustainable decision making together with increase in awareness of LCA as a well-developed framework has led to the application of LCA in a wide variety of contexts. These applications have highlighted some of the ways in which LCA would benefit through the further development of methods for improving the resolution and inclusiveness of LCA models. This session focuses on new methods which augment the LCA framework to address these issues and the demonstration of new approaches through the use of decision-relevant case studies.
Mercury Characterization and Contaminated Site Remediation
Session description: Mercury, in both its inorganic and organic forms, can negatively impact human and environmental health and exhibits complex environmental behavior. While great strides have been made in recent years towards understanding the behavior of mercury in the environment, remaining knowledge gaps present challenges to our basic and applied research efforts and may limit the effectiveness of well-intentioned remedial actions. For example, the apparent lack of response in mercury bioaccumulation in fish to decreasing mercury concentrations in water confounds remediation attempts. This session will serve as a forum to exchange information on all aspects of mercury contamination and remediation issues. We seek a diverse set of presentations that address topics including (but not limited to): mercury biogeochemistry and characterization in environmental media; characterization and modeling of mercury source areas and associated fluxes; assessment of toxicity and human and ecological health risks for mercury-contaminated media; new technologies for mercury removal or control; remediation case studies from a variety of mercury-contaminated sites. Innovative studies that couple multiple disciplines to advance our understanding and studies that employ novel analytical tools or remediation strategies are particularly desirable.
Modeling and Interpreting Effects of Metals Mixtures
Session description: While the concepts encompassing mixture toxicity and modeling have been around for decades, only recently have new approaches ("bioavailability models") been expanded to consider metal mixture scenarios. Although current environmental regulations rarely require assessment of chemical mixtures, the development of efficient and economic science-based risk assessment approaches for metal mixtures are essential to preparing for future regulatory demands and vital for ensuring adequate environmental protection. The development of bioavailability-based approaches for predicting ecotoxicity of individual metals (e.g., biotic ligand models) has occurred over the last decade, and these approaches have been incorporated into metals risk assessment and derivation of environmental quality standards. In addition, novel analytical and statistical approaches for interpreting mixture effects have provided new insight into the mechanisms and interactions associated with metal exposure. To this end, the field of metals research has advanced to the point where the integration of principles of bioavailability can be applied to "real world" risk assessment scenarios. This session is intended to present the state of the science regarding modeling and interpretation of metals mixtures.

This session contains presentations on the characterization and toxicity of carbon and metal nanoparticles/nanotubes, as well as the environmental fate, transport and bioavailability of these nanomaterials. Several presentations also delve into potential artifacts historically associated with nanoparticle toxicity testing.
Policy and Litigation in an Uncertain World
Session description: Regulators, legislators, and judges are routinely tasked to provide legal guidance on emerging environmental issues, such as hydraulic fracking or pharmaceuticals, PFCs, and PDBEs in water, where the research is lacking, not definitive, or hard to apply in a regulatory/litigation setting. The regulations or judgments have widespread consequences both to human and environmental health as well as financial costs to individuals, industries, and regulatory agencies. This session seeks to explore the interplay of scientific research, regulation and litigation. The aim is to discuss whether science is keeping up with the current evolution in regulations and the expectations of the general public. The session will also discuss whether science can meet the demand/cross examination in court. The outcome of the session will be gaining an appreciation of how scientific research should be the driver for lasting regulatory decisions.
Quantitative Approaches to Mega-scale Risk Assessment
Session description: In earlier years of environmental science, evaluating risk due to chemical release at the end of the pipe, or on a specific field or site represented the decision-scale at which new and exciting risk-based quantitative methods were originally created and matured. Today, mega-scale (i.e., regional, continental, global) environmental risk issues have been increasingly recognized at geographic scales beyond those in prior years. Corresponding advances in quantitative approaches for assessing risk at mega-scales (e.g., the Gulf of Mexico, the East Coast of the United States, or the entire European Union) are required to respond to a changing regulatory environment in the US and worldwide. Quantitative methods of analysis and modeling at mega-scales have fundamentally different mathematical and statistical properties than those typical of smaller scale assessments. In spatial statistics, for example, resolving the spatial covariance on a mega-scale when only sparse information and inconsistent sampling methodologies are available presents a major challenge in characterizing risk. Likewise, quantifying time trends over a large scale, and evaluating the interaction of temporal changes confounded with natural spatial variability in populations of interest have emerged as new and important issues in large scale assessment and decision-making. The development, application, and evaluation of process-based (mechanistic) models for mega-scale risk assessments increasingly challenge conventional modeling approaches, but provide opportunities for modelers to address critical environmental issues threatening mankind (e.g., overpopulation, climate change, pandemics). This session will bring together regulators interested in mega-scale risks and risk-management decisions with quantitative scientists to discuss the inherent difficulties in data-based and modeling approaches for large scale assessment and decision making. Topics will include survey design for large scale decisions, statistical models for spatial detection of impacts that occur over time, statistical assessment of temporal patterns on mega-scales, issues in uncertainty analysis on large scales, and unique aspects of process-based modeling for risk estimation at mega-scales.
Risk Assessment of Pesticides to Honey Bees
Session description: Over the past several years, commercial beekeepers in the United States have experienced unprecedented colony losses. Although no single cause has been identified, multiple factors have been identified as potentially contributing to those losses, including pests, disease, poor nutrition, pesticide exposure, beekeeping practices and honey bee genetics. This session will focus on pesticides as stressors to honey bees and methods for assessing risks of pesticides to bees. Due to the importance of honey bees to production agriculture, there has been a marked increase in research on the effects of pesticides to honey bees. This session will include a review of current regulatory frameworks for pesticide risk assessment for honey bees, including discussions of integrating data on pesticide exposures and effects at the individual and colony-levels. This session will also include presentations that focus on the individual components of the risk assessment process, such as assessing pesticide exposures through different routes (e.g., diet, contact), assessing effects to different honey bee castes or life stages (e.g., larvae or adult worker bees), statistical analyses of data, and understanding how effects measured on individual bees relate to colony-level effects and the capacity of the colony to recover. The current North American and European regulatory frameworks for honey bee risk assessment are based on tiered approaches where the first tier relies upon limited chemical-specific empirical data (i.e., laboratory-based toxicity studies) and simplifying conservative assumptions regarding exposure. The second and third tiers rely upon semi-field and full-field studies, respectively, which increase the amount of chemical-specific information available and realism; however, these higher-tier studies can also increase the uncertainties associated with data. Higher-tier field studies involving free foraging bees will also be discussed during this session, along with case studies. An important component of this session will be discussions of the existing state of the science related to honey bee risk assessments, the associated uncertainties, and how these uncertainties can be reduced.
Tennessee Valley Authority Kingston Fly Ash Recovery Project
Session description: This all-day special symposium presents information on the history and progress of the response to the December, 2008, spill of 5.4 million cubic yards of fly ash from TVA's Kingston Fossil Plant into the Emory River. Presenters will share information on how TVA and other agencies responded to identify the nature and extent of the spill, evaluated immediate risks to human health and the environment, and transitioned the project from an emergency response action to a clean-up and remediation project conducted under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). The symposium will include presentations on the project's environmental monitoring program, results of key components of that program, approaches used for risk assessment and establishing remedial goals, the evaluation of alternative risk management strategies, and the selection of remedial actions. The symposium will conclude with a panel discussion. A poster session concurrent with the special symposium also is proposed.
What Do We Know About the Ecological Risk of Personal Care Product Ingredients?
Session description: The term "personal care products" commonly refers to a wide variety of functionally diverse consumer products found in health and beauty departments of drug and department stores. Some of these products do meet the definition of "cosmetics" under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (e.g., skin moisturizers, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail polishes, eye and facial makeup preparations, shampoos, permanent waves, hair colors, toothpastes, and deodorants), while others are regulated as a "drug" because they function as such. Among these are skin protectants such as diaper ointments, mouthwashes marketed with therapeutic claims, and treatments for dandruff or acne. Some of the products may even meet the definitions of both a cosmetic and a drug. This may happen when a product has two intended uses (e.g., a shampoo may be classified as a cosmetic if its intended use is to cleanse the hair and as a drug if its intended use is to treat dandruff). Ingredients of emerging concern from personal care products include nano-UV-blockers such as titanium dioxide, antimicrobial agents such as nano-silver and triclosan, and preservatives such as parabens. This session will be devoted to our understanding of the ecological risk of personal care product ingredients. Moreover, the session will explore what we know about their fate and occurrence in the environment, and their potential exposure and effects on aquatic and terrestrial organisms including ecotoxicity and endocrine-mediated effects.
Wildlife Exposure and Effects Relative to Emerging Anthropogenic Substances
Session description: Human activities have generated large quantities of a wide range of anthropogenic substances, which are subsequently released to the environment via point and non-point sources. These emerging substances may include organic (e.g., organochlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, perfluorinated compounds, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and various polymer additives) or inorganic (e.g., heavy metals) chemicals and synthetic materials (e.g., plastic polymers). Terrestrial or aquatic wildlife may be exposed to these substances mainly via food, but also likely through dermal exposure or inhalation. Persistent and bioaccumulative chemicals, such as the persistent organic pollutants (POPs), may be transferred through food webs, reaching high levels in top predator species. Synthetic materials, such as fragments of the microplastics, may be opportunistically taken up by birds, fish or marine mammals, causing them to choke or even to die. Polymer additives or absorbed POPs may be simultaneously ingested. Anthropogenic substances may be metabolized or microbially transformed, resulting in degradation products that exhibit different environmental behavior or toxic effects compared to their parent compounds. Exposure to these anthropogenic substances, as well as their degradation products, may produce various toxic effects or other health concerns in sentinel wildlife species. To advance our knowledge of wildlife exposure to anthropogenic substances, topics for this session include, but are not limited to: (1) Types and abundances of emerging substances in sentinel wildlife species; (2) Exposure sources and pathways in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; (3) Food-web transfer and dynamics; (4) Biotransformation or metabolism of emerging substances and the resulting products; (5) Toxic, ecotoxic and risk/benefit evaluations of emerging substances. In order to recruit 5–6 designated presenters for our session, we will send invitations to a group of scientists who have conducted top-notch research in the related topics. We will also encourage graduate students to present their work in our session.

UN Environment Head says World at Green Economy Crossroads on Eve of G8 Summit09/
London, 9 July 2009 - In a keynote address to Chatham House in London, UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner said G8 leaders have a golden opportunity to focus political action towards powering forward a Green Economy future.With some 150 days to go to the crucial UN climate convention meeting in Copenhagen, the UN Under-Secretary General told delegates that a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient global economy was underway propelled by the existing UN-brokered carbon markets and the current global stimulus packages.How far this transition can go will now depend on the political will of world leaders to make good on the Green Economy pledges environmental-investment pledges by fully investing the stimuli in renewable energies and energy efficiency up to smart grids, high speed rail and more fuel-efficient, sustainable transportation.Mr Steiner said: "A greening of the global economy was underway before the economic crisis and the more than $3 trillion-worth of stimuli packages.""This has been in part driven by the existing carbon markets, the need to combat climate change and the urgency of energy security," he said. Mr Steiner pointed to UNEP's recent Sustainable Energy Finance Initiative global trends report, which shows that in 2008 investment in renewables was $155 billion, compared with investment in new fossil fuel generation of $110 billion?for the first time ever. He also cited the growth of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol with more than 4,200 projects up and running or in various advanced stages of the project pipeline ? including around a third of these involving some level of technology transfer."By 2012 we estimate that over 8,000 CDM projects may be up and running or in the pipeline, generating financial flows from North to South of well over $30 billion," said the UNEP Executive Director.The economic stimulus packages are now accelerating the transition with countries from China and the Republic of Korea to at least a dozen European countries and the United States earmarking significant slices of their packages into green investments including freshwaters and ecosystems alongside energy-related clean tech.Mr Steiner said the G8 Summit, which opens in Italy on 8 July, needed to ensure that the global economy hit the 'green tape' and keeps running through to Copenhagen and beyond rather than running out of steam half way round the track.He welcomed UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown's suggestion that close to $100 billion should be made available as a signal that developed economies are prepared to table a financial and technological package that could be a key to Sealing a Deal on a comprehensive post-2012 climate agreement.

ClustrMaps and Our Site Visitors
by gwilson on Oct.27, 2009, under Uncategorized
I use the StatPress administrative monitoring features A LOT to see what type of activity our webpage receives, with one feature called "Spy" particularly interesting. It allows me to see what countries (and sometimes what cities) our visitors come from. I've marveled at the variety of nations and peoples represented as I've scrolled through those lists many a day. Alicia Wyatt, our web guru for BIMS and a faculty member from Computer Science (and my assistant dean) has added a new feature to allow me to see over time what type of global attention the McMurry BIMS program has received. ClustrMaps is now one of my favorite features on the BIMS webpage.
Although the BIMS ClustrMap is only about a month old, it reflects visitors from 47 countries spanning every continent but Antarctica. However, ClustrMaps only updates on occasion. "Spy" tells me in recent days our visitors have included folks from Latvia, Belarus, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Korea, Japan, and Ukraine, some of which don't appear yet on the ClustrMap. Can't wait to see what it looks like this time next year!
Why is our program gaining so much attention? Much of it is probably unintentional – someone does a Google search for a term used on one of our pages and they load our page in hopes of having a question answered. But, some visits are very intential – someone visits the McMurry webpage and then clicks their way to BIMS to find out more about our program. StatPress will tell me how a person found our page. Either way, we hope they enjoy their view into our program at McMurry. Tell your friends in exotic places to come take a look at McMurry Biomedical Sciences and get their country and city reflected on our ClustrMap!

Radioimmunotherapy + SCT for Advanced AML, ALL, or MDS
Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Patients With High-Risk Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Using Radiolabeled DOTA-Biotin Pretargeted by BC8 Antibody-Streptavidin Conjugate
Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Trial Status
Trial Phase
Phase I
Study Number
Local Study ID
Trial Location
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance
This phase I trial uses pretargeted radioimmunotherapy and donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant employing fludarabine phosphate and total-body irradiation (TBI) to treat patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate, and TBI before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can be combined with fludarabine phosphate and TBI to find cancer cells and kill them without harming normal cells. Pretargeted radioimmunotherapy (PRIT) allows for further improved targeting of tumor cells over standard directly labeled antibodies
Trial Eligibility
- Patients with advanced AML or ALL defined as beyond first remission, primary refractory disease, or evolved from myelodysplastic or myeloproliferative syndromes; or patients with MDS expressed as refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB), refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia (RCMD), RCMD with ringed sideroblasts (RCMD-RS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)
- Patients not in remission must have CD45-expressing leukemic blasts; patients in remission do not require phenotyping and may have leukemia previously documented to be CD45 negative (because in remission patients, virtually all antibody binding is to nonmalignant cells which make up >= 95% of nucleated cells in the marrow)
- Patients should have a circulating blast count of less than 10,000/mm^3 (control with hydroxyurea or similar agent is allowed)
- Patients must have an estimated creatinine clearance greater than 50/mL per minute (test must be performed within 28 days prior to registration)
- Bilirubin < 2 times the upper limit of normal
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 2 times the upper limit of normal
- Karnofsky score >= 70 or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) =< 2
- Patients must have an expected survival of > 60 days and must be free of active infection
- Patients must have an human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donor or an HLA-matched unrelated donor who meets standard Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) and/or National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) criteria for peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation; related donors should be matched by molecular methods at the intermediate resolution level at HLA-A, B, C, and DRB1 according to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC) Standard Practice Guidelines and to the allele level at DQB1; unrelated donors should be identified using matching criteria that follows the FHCRC standard practice guidelines limiting the study to eligible donors that are allele matched for HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, and DQB1 (Grade 1), and accepting up to one allele mismatch as per standard practice grade 2.1 for HLA-A, B, or C; PBSC is the only permitted stem cell source
Trial Exclusions
- Circulating human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) or human anti-streptavidin antibody (HASA)
- Prior radiation to maximally tolerated levels to any critical normal organ
- Patients may not have symptomatic coronary artery disease and may not be on cardiac medications for anti-arrhythmic or inotropic effects
Patients with the following organ dysfunction:
- Left ventricular ejection fraction < 35%
- Corrected diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) < 35% and/or receiving supplemental continuous oxygen
- Liver abnormalities: fulminant liver failure, cirrhosis of the liver with evidence of portal hypertension, alcoholic hepatitis, esophageal varices, hepatic encephalopathy, uncorrectable hepatic synthetic dysfunction as evidenced by prolongation of the prothrombin time, ascites related to portal hypertension, bacterial or fungal liver abscess, biliary obstruction, chronic viral hepatitis, or symptomatic biliary disease
- Patients who are known seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- Perceived inability to tolerate diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, particularly treatment in radiation isolation
- Active central nervous system (CNS) leukemia
- Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [b-HCG] +)or breast feeding
- Fertile men and women unwilling to use contraceptives during and for 12 months post transplant
- Patients may not use vitamin supplements containing biotin from the time of 1 week prior to treatment until 1 week after completion of treatment with all PRIT components
- Inability to understand or give an informed consent

Health & Medicine
The Museum's collections of medical science artifacts represent nearly all aspects of health and medical practice. Highlights include early X-ray apparatuses, such as one of Wilhelm Roentgen's tubes, penicillin mold from Alexander Fleming's experiments, and Jonas Salk's original polio vaccine. More recent acquisitions include the first artificial heart implanted in a human, the earliest genetically engineered drugs, and materials related to David, the "Bubble Boy." Other artifacts range from artificial limbs and implant devices to bloodletting and dental instruments, beauty products, and veterinary equipment. The contents of a medieval apothecary shop and an 1890s drugstore form part of the collections, along with patent and alternative medicines. The collections also document the many differing perspectives on health and medical issues, from patients, family members, doctors, nurses, medical students, and out-of-the-mainstream health practitioners.
