UNEP Report : Green Economy can reduce poverty and help meet Millennium Development Goals20/
New York, 20 September 2010 - Investing in clean energy, sustainable transport, forests and environmentally-friendly agriculture is essential, if internationally-agreed goals to reduce poverty are to be achieved.This is among the central conclusions of A Brief for Policymakers on the Green Economy and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), launched today as heads of state and ministers meet at the UN Headquarters to review progress to date - five years before the MDG deadline of 2015. Environmental degradation is making it more difficult for governments to achieve Millennium Development Goals such as improving maternal health, providing safe drinking water and combating hunger and disease.Conversely some countries and communities are finding that environmental improvements, catalyzed by deliberate policy choices; smart investments and often private sector partnerships can be a big part of the solution, the new study claims.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), said: "There is rapidly growing evidence that accelerating a transition to a low carbon, resource efficient, employment-generating Green Economy may not only be the key to meeting sustainability challenges of the 21st century, but also provide a considerable contribution to meeting other MDGs.The report - compiled by UNEP's Green Economy team - cites numerous cases where green strategies are paying multiple dividends in respect to the eight MDGs.Policies and investments in Costa Rica have triggered an expansion of protected areas and national parks, now covering over 25 per cent of the country's total land area. Since this strategy was adopted there has been a boom in eco-tourism attracting over one million visitors a year and generating US$5 million annually in entrance fees alone. Studies indicate that communities living in or near national parks have higher wages, employment rates and lower rates of poverty.The report, prepared for this week's UN Summit on MDGs in New York, also spotlights China's energy policy as set out in the country's 11th five year plan covering 2006-2010. The plan has fuelled a rapid rise in renewable energy manufacturing and installation. China is now the world's second biggest user of wind power and the biggest exporter of photovoltaics (devices that covert solar energy into electricity). Ten per cent of households have solar water heaters and 1.5 million people are employed in China's renewables sector, with 300,000 of those jobs generated in 2009 alone.Creative and forward-looking urban planning, allied to sustainable transport policies, have allowed the Brazilian city of Curitiba to grow more than six fold while simultaneously improving mobility and quality of life.The average area of green space per person has risen from one square metre to around 50 square metres; 45 per cent of journeys are made by public transport; excessive fuel use due to congestion is 13 times less per person than in Sao Paulo and the lower levels of air pollution result in health benefits for local citizens.In Nepal, 14,000 Forest User Groups have reversed the deforestation rates of the 1990s through community-based policies which include setting harvesting rules, product prices and the sharing of profits.Between 2000 and 2005, the annual forested area of Nepal increased by 1.3 per cent, soil quality and water supplies are better managed and local employment has risen.Uganda, a country where 85 per cent of the working population is employed in agriculture, has turned to organic production to boost exports and incomes. Farm-gate prices for organic vanilla, ginger and pineapples are higher than for conventional produce.Since 2004 the number of certified organic farmers has grown from 45,000 to over 200,000 and the area of land under organic cultivation from 185,000 hectares to close to 300,000 hectares.Mr Steiner said: "The underlying task of the 21st century is to provide a secure and sustainable way of life for a world population that over the next four decades will increase in size by a third. It was this challenge that in September 2000 led world leaders to adopt the eight MDGs"."On current trends it is likely that achieving all the MDGs by 2015 will be missed. In part because the responses so far have been embedded in a 20th century approach to a new century's challenges," he added."The Green Economy puts a fresh lens on the challenges and a spotlight on the multiple cost effective economic and social opportunities from investing and re-investing in modern clean-tech energy systems up to natural resource management of the planet's ecological infrastructure. In doing so, it addresses the economic, social and environmental objective of sustainable development and underscores the wealth of choices and options for sustained progress that meets the realities of our time," said Mr. Steiner.Some Key Points from the Report - Environmental Sustainability and the MDGs Inextricably IntertwinedThe report, A Brief for Policymakers on the Green Economy and the Millennium Development Goals, underlines that the environmental goods and services that underpin the global economy - and in particular the GDP of the poor - are shrinking at a rapid rate.It underscores how this loss of ecological infrastructure is undermining not only MDG7 on environmental sustainability but most if not all of the other MDGs and their associated targets.Coral reefs in the Caribbean for example have declined by 80 per cent and globally 30 per cent of mangroves have been lost in the past two decades.Both these ecosystems provide coastal defenses, tourism revenues and other services and income for local communities. In addition they are nurseries for fish upon which a billion people rely directly for protein. The fate of coral reefs and mangroves are thus closely linked to the achievement of several MDGs, including MDG1 on hunger.Forests are key sources of drinking water and nutrients for agriculture while providing essential goods such as wild foods and medicines.Thus the fate of forests links to MDG1 on hunger, MDGs 4 and 5 on health and several targets of MDG7 such as halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water.The rate of deforestation is slowing. In the past decade the annual loss of forest has averaged 13 million hectares, compared with 16 million hectares a year during the 1990s. But this rate is still causing lasting environmental damage and currently close to 30 countries have lost 90 per cent of their original forest cover.Investing and re-investing in forests would not only assist in meeting the aforementioned MDGs, but also in reducing greenhouse gas emissions linked with deforestation.While there is no specific MDG for energy, the report points out that providing clean energy will underpin the success of many of the goals, both directly in terms of sustainable development and indirectly if climate change, linked to the burning of fossil fuels, is left unaddressed.For example 14 per cent of the population of developing countries and around a fifth of their urban dwellers live in low-lying coastal regions and are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels, coastal flooding and soil erosion. Subsidies - A Possible Source of Additional MDG FundingOne way of financing the achievement of the MDGs is through re-directing subsidies.Fossil fuels for example still attract over US$500 billion a year in government subsidies - and there is abundant evidence that these subsidies rarely reach the poor, despite the best intentions of governments. In Indonesia in 2005, 60 per cent of fuel subsidies went to the richest 40 per cent of the population In 2003 Argentina's gas subsidies went to the far south of the country - home to just three per cent of Argentina's poor. In Mongolia, some 85 per cent of a recent 'life-line' heating tariff went to the 'non-poor'.Investing all or part of these subsidies in renewable energy technologies, such as solar and wind, could trigger new kinds of employment, faster access to electricity and greater social equity - a better overall standard of living.There would be benefits for the environment including improvements in air pollution alongside an estimated six per cent cut in annual greenhouse gas emissions.There are other green economy approaches: In Bangladesh a subsidiary of the Grameen Bank - Grameen Shakti - has pioneered microfinance to assist local people in buying solar heating systems.Some 20,000 'green' jobs, many of which have been for women, have been generated, with an aim of creating 100,000 new jobs by 2015. The project thus meets many of the MDGs including MDG3 relating to gender equality.Similar arguments are made in respect to fisheries where subsidies total some US$27 billion a year and are part of the reason why fish stocks in many parts of the world are in decline.Re-directing around US$8 billion of these subsidies into improved management measures such as marine protected areas, tradable quotas, the retiring of vessels and the retraining of fisher-folk, could boost catches and conserve stocks.The report also points to the multiple benefits from other policies, for example those that promote the certification of biodiversity-friendly agricultural products.With the right backing, the market for such products could be worth US$210 billion by 2020 up from US$40 billion in 2008, generating new income flows while conserving the planet's natural capital.Notes to Editors:Launched in 2008 at the height of the global financial and economic crisis, UNEP's Green Economy Initiative provides macroeconomic analysis on policy reforms and investments in key sectors that can contribute to economic growth, creation of jobs, social equity and poverty reduction, while addressing climate risks and other ecological challenges. The Initiative undertakes a wide-range of research and provides advisory services to more then 20 countries interested in moving towards a green economy.

Anybody ever played one of the .hack// games?
After watching the anime series called hack SIGN, hack DUSK and hack ROOTS I started loving that "The World" thing, and I bought the first game, it's really interesting and enjoyable to be able to walk around, fight and everything else in the same world the characters of .hack anime series are.
At the moment I'm still at the first one, hack INFECTION, I'm currently dedicated on getting more Virus to hack forbidden zones and get more information about that Ryu Books (I know I could simply search a guide about the game, but I prefer discovering everything by myself).
Which games of the saga you've played or you're playing? What's your opinion about .hack games in general (and the whole hack project)?

La Salle University Policies Regarding Sex Discrimination and Sexual Harassment
- La Salle University Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Harassment Policy (Personnel Manual)
- La Salle University Harassment and Discrimination Policy (Student Guide to Resources, Rights, & Responsibilities)
University Policy Statement on Ethnic Intimidation
La Salle University is committed to providing a campus community that is free of all forms of ethnic intimidation. The University, in compliance with the Pennsylvania Intimidation Act of 1982, recognizes that certain criminal acts are a result of "malicious intention toward the race, color, religion or national origin of another individual or group of individuals." To be considered a crime in Pennsylvania, ethnic intimidation must occur in conjunction with another offense, thereby raising the degree of the primary offense. The University encourages victims of ethnic intimidation to make complaints to appropriate University offices as set forth below and/or the appropriate law enforcement agencies:
For Students:
- Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students.
For Faculty and Staff:
- Assistant Vice President for Security and Safety,
- Assistant Vice President for Human Resources, or
- the University's Affirmative Action Officer.
Sexual Misconduct, Sexual Harassment, and Sexual Violence
Sexual misconduct, sexual violence, and sexual harassment (as those terms are defined below) are serious offenses that are prohibited by Title IX and that La Salle University will not tolerate, whether the individuals involved are students, faculty members, employees, staff members, guests, business invitees of the University, or other third parties. La Salle University firmly believes in providing an academic environment that is inclusive, values diversity, and in which each of its community members is respected and, thus, is free from all forms of sexual misconduct. All members of the community are responsible for ensuring such an environment exists.
Sexual Misconduct
Sexual misconduct is a broad term that describes many prohibited behaviors, including rape, non-consensual sexual contact, sexual assault, sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, and any other discrimination or harassment based on sex or gender.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment includes sexual or gender-based behavior that is unwanted, unwelcome, and/or nonconsensual. Sexual harassment has the effect, whether intended or unintended, of intimidating or violating the freedom of others, interfering with an individual's ability to participate in or benefit from the University's programs or work environment, and otherwise harms individuals and/or the University community. Sexual harassment involves an individual's unlawful exercise of power, intimidation, or control and does not have to involve sexual intimacy or overtly sexual acts. Also included within this definition is harassment based on sex or sex-stereotyping, even if those acts do not involve conduct of a sexual nature.
Victims of sexual harassment do not have to be of the opposite sex as the harasser. The harasser can be a supervisor, professor, co-worker, another student, staff member, advisor, guest, or business invitee of the University. Importantly, the victim of sexual harassment does not have to be the direct target of the harassment, but can be anyone affected by the harassing conduct.
Examples of Sexual Harassment
In addition to the examples of harassment in Section I.A., above, examples of conduct that may rise to the level of sexual harassment include, but are not limited to:
- threatening negative treatment (such as a bad grade) if sexual favors are not granted or promising preferential treatment (such as a good grade) in return for sexual favors;
- displaying sexually explicit or suggestive objects or pictures in a professor's office, on a residence hall door, on a computer monitor in a public space, or in other academic areas;
- repeatedly asking another person out on a date after he or she has been refused (note: it is permissible to politely ask on one occasion);
- "rating" another person's body or sex appeal or making comments about his/her clothing or appearance;
- an internship or co-op supervisor engaging a student in a discussion about his/her past sexual experiences;
- an ex-girlfriend spreading personal stories about her sex life with her former boyfriend to the clear discomfort of the boyfriend;
- a student organization requiring prospective members to share stories about past sexual experiences as a prerequisite for acceptance into the student organization; or
- a professor making derogatory remarks about someone's sexual identity or drawing attention to a student's sexual orientation to illustrate a point.
Sexual Violence
Sexual violence is a form of sexual harassment prohibited by Title IX that refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person's will or against a person incapable of giving consent due to the use of drugs or alcohol. An individual also may be unable to give consent due to an intellectual or other disability.
- Examples of Sexual Violence
- Sexual Assault
- Domestic Violence
- Dating Violence
- Stalking
- Sexual Assault and Sex Offenses
Any sexual act directed against another person, forcibly and/or against that person's will, or not forcibly or against the person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent, as enumerated within the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
- Domestic Violence
A felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by a current or former spouse or intimate partner of a victim, or a person with whom the victim shares a child in common, or a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse or intimate partner, or a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim, the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction, or any person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person's act under the domestic or family violence laws of that jurisdiction.
- Dating Violence
Violence committed by a person who is or has been in a social relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with a victim and where the existence of such a relationship shall be determined based upon consideration of the following factors: the length of the relationship, the type of relationship, and the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship.
- Stalking
Engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress.
- Examples of Sexual Violence
It is important to note that consent must be voluntary and clear, not coerced. Further, consent to one sexual act does not imply consent to a different sexual act. Consent can never be implied and cannot be assumed, even in the context of a relationship. Someone who is incapacitated—whether asleep, unconscious, or otherwise mentally or physically incapacitated due to alcohol, drugs, or some other condition—cannot consent; past consent, e.g. "a previous hookup," does not imply future consent. Consent to engage in sexual activity with one person does not imply consent to engage in sexual activity with another. Consent may not be inferred from silence, passivity, or lack of resistance alone. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Bystander Intervention
Depending upon the circumstances at hand, an individual, or individuals, may choose to intervene to assist a victim or a potential victim. Safe options may include: calling Security and Safety (215.951.1300) or other campus authority, calling local police (911), enlisting the aid of others to intervene by saying something, and/or enlisting the aid of others in safely removing a person from a potentially harmful environment. In reaching any judgment to intervene, a person should evaluate the totality of circumstances in choosing a safe option.
Procedures for Dealing with Acts of Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, or Sexual Violence By a Student
The University takes all complaints of discrimination and harassment seriously.
In the event that a member of the University community observes or is the victim of discrimination and/or harassment by a student, the individual can take one or more of the following steps:
Gather Evidence of the Discrimination or Harassment
- retain any physical evidence of the act(s), such as harassing notes or letters, digital recordings left on voice mail or other media, screen shots of web sites or social media, and so forth;
- take a photograph of any harassment or discrimination and submit it to the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or a designee; and
- write an account of everything that the harasser said or did, and ask any witnesses to do so as well.
- Except in situations involving sexual violence, attempt to resolve the matter informally by telling the harasser politely but firmly that his/her conduct is not welcome and must stop.
- Notify the Supervisor on duty for the Security and Safety Department or Community Development (call the office during office hours and the "on-call" staff member (the "CD on-call") outside of office hours), so that they may conduct an investigation and cause the harassing or discriminatory evidence (including any graffiti) to be removed promptly.
- If supplies are available, the Security and Safety Office or the Community Development staff should remove the harassing or discriminatory evidence as soon as possible. If supplies are not available, Physical Facilities should be notified to take care of the problem as soon as the next shift begins.
- Notify the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or one of the designated individuals identified in Section III.D.2.b.vii, above.
- The individual may request a that the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or designee have an informal conversation with the alleged harasser; and
- The individual may request that the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or designee direct the alleged harasser not to contact them and/or discuss taking other appropriate interim measures in order to avoid immediate danger or further harassment to the individual.
- Complete and forward a written statement describing the alleged discrimination and/or harassment to the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or one of the designated individuals identified in Section III.D.2.b.vii, above as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours of the incident).
- The Student Affairs office will contact the harassed individual directly to assess the situation and decide on a course of action.
- The Student Affairs office will advise the harassed individual of any right to
- file a report with the Philadelphia Police Department or other local law enforcement authority,
- complete an Incident Report under the student disciplinary process set forth in Section III.C.2.a of the Student Guide to Resources, Rights and Responsibilities (if the harasser is a student), or
- submit a complaint pursuant to the grievance procedure set forth in the University's EEO and Anti-Harassment Policy (if the harasser is an employee, faculty member, or third party), as described in Section III.D.6, below.
- Security and Safety staff or Community Development staff may respond by gathering additional information, confronting the harasser, and/or providing accommodation to the complainant.
- The Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or a designee will consult, as appropriate, with other members of the University community. This may include consultation with Human Resources if a student accused of a violation of this policy is also an employee of the University, pursuant to the University's policy concerning Sharing of Information About an Employee/Student (see Section III.C.9).
- An investigation and, if warranted, disciplinary action will proceed in accordance with all relevant University procedures.
- When there is a need for a community response in a student residence, the Community Development supervisory staff will work with the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students and other members of the University community, as appropriate, to develop the response, making use of the expertise of appropriate persons on campus.
- While the University encourages students to report all violations of the University's policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment, a student has the right to not report any such violation.
Confidentiality Concerns: The University may have an independent obligation to investigate reports of discrimination or harassment in violation of University policy whether or not a student chooses to take any action. Thus, while the University will make every effort to disclose a complaint or report only to the extent necessary to effectively investigate or take appropriate remedial action, the University cannot guarantee confidentiality in its investigation. Participants in any investigation may be instructed to keep the matter strictly confidential and may be subject to disciplinary action if they fail to do so.
For further information or discussion, please contact the Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students, 215-951-1017, La Salle Union 123.

In the event that a student observes or is the victim of discrimination and/or harassment by a University faculty member, employee, staff member, or third party (who is not a student), students should follow the policy and procedures in the La Salle University Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Harassment Policy, which can be found online at www.lasalle.edu/financeadmin/hresources/. The Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students or any of the individuals identified in Section I.C., above are available to provide a written copy of the policy and any assistance with respect to this procedure.

The experience of discrimination and harassment can impact a person in many ways, jeopardizing a person's emotional and physical health. It can make a person feel angry, helpless, humiliated, intimidated and/or confused. It can result in physical symptoms such as nausea, headaches and sleep disturbances. It is important to make sure to seek emotional or other support whether it be professional or from supportive friends or relatives. Some examples of available resources include:

Very Comfortable!
"These shoes are very comfortable! I wore them to work, where I don't walk around too much, but when I did they were light and easy to walk around in. There are also little holes on the top of the foot that allow extra air to get into the shoe which is nice if your feet tend to get over heated as mine do."

The Reds recorded their third straight win in their Super Rugby title defence as they ousted the Rebels 11-6 in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Reds recorded their third straight win in their Super Rugby title defence as they ousted Melbourne Rebels 11-6 at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.
It was hardly vintage rugby from the champions as they were pushed all the way by the competition's newest franchise in a cagey contest in Brisbane.
Their sole try came courtesy of Dom Shipperley five minutes before the hour, which was the first time they had led matters against their visitors.
Prior to that, inside centre James O'Connor had opened the scoring following a concerted period of pressure from the fired-up Rebels, who were looking to right the wrongs of their humiliating opening fixture against the Reds of last year.
He added his second three-pointer on 32 minutes as the Rebels continued to win both the attacking and defensive battle against what seemed like a tired champion outfit, who were struggling to fire.
Two players struggling to find their rhythm were half-back duo Will Genia and Mike Harris, with the latter losing his 100 per cent kicking record after failing with a couple of attempts at goal.
Ewen McKenzie's charges stepped up the tempo in the second-half and were rewarded when Shipperley latched on to a long pass from Genia to score a decisive try in the corner.
The victory took the Reds to the top of the Australian conference but level on points with the Brumbies, who beat the Cheetahs 24-23 in the final minute in Canberra earlier on Saturday.
The Reds now head to South Africa for two matches, first against the Sharks in Durban next Saturday, but will need to up their performance if they are to keep their winning record going.
The scorers:
For Reds:
Try: Shipperley
Pen: Harris 2
For Rebels:
Pen: O'Connor 2
Reds: 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Ben Tapuai, 12 Jono Lance, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Mike Harris, 9 Will Genia, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 James Hanson, 1 Ben Daley.
Replacements: 16 Saia Faingaa, 17 Greg Holmes, 18 Van Humphries, 19 Radike Samo, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Rod Davies.
Rebels: 15 Kurtley Beale, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 James O'Connor, 11 Cooper Vuna, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Richard Kingi, 8 Gareth Delve (capt), 7 Tom Chamberlain, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Luke Jones, 3 Laurie Weeks, 2 Adam Freier, 1 Nic Henderson.
Replacements: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Rodney Blake, 18 Alister Campbell, 19 Jarrod Saffy, 20 Nick Phipps, 21 Lachlan Mitchell, 22 Julian Huxley.
Referee: Ian Smith (Australia)

I was surprise (but pleased) when I was nominated in the Best New Medical Weblog (established in 2007) category. I'd like thank those that thought enough of my blog to nominate me. It's amazing to me that I made the cut of all the wonderful blogs out there to become a finalist. I'm honored. I feel like I've already won. Thank you. If you feel so inclined, head on over to Medgadget to record your vote. The other four (very worthy) blogs in this category are:

Welcome to the Shared Governance site—your virtual communications hub!
In the interest of providing a venue for open, timely, and effective communication among all campus constituencies, this site will also serve as a virtual communications hub for all governing committees on campus (See Campus Committees on left). Each campus group will promote responsibility and accountability in their areas through shared agendas, minutes, goals & accomplishments, etc. In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to contribute their thoughts regarding agendas/minutes in a blog format.
Shared Governance – Communication Model
Working together successfully means that all members of BCC's shared governance structure understand not only their own roles and responsibilities, but also the roles and responsibilities of others. Because the College Assembly is central to the functioning of our shared governance structure, it is the primary communication hub for all shared governance activities. While individual governing bodies have a specific jurisdiction (academic, operational, or student issues), there is need for significant interfacing and collaboration among the various governing bodies involving exchange of information and cooperative decision making. For example, although all the governing bodies within shared governance (Student Assembly (SA), Council for Academic Issues (CAI), and Council for Operational Issues (COI)) and the College Assembly have jurisdiction over particular matters, each of their respective activities impact other areas of the college. Consequently, these governing bodies have a compelling need to consult with, and be accountable to, each other as well as to the Administration, Board of Trustees, and the campus community at-large (as depicted by the diagram to the right.) The communication process insures that there is a mechanism in place to capture the voices of various constituencies and stakeholders and also provide for a continuous feedback loop to communicate progress on college initiatives.
For more on the concept of shared governance, please visit the "About SG" section of this site.
Be part of Shared Governance at BCC…
Feel free to offer comments on the Shared Governance Task Force's (SGTF's) news, agenda or minutes on the SG News/Agenda/Minutes page or select from the posts categories above. Simply select the heading of any News/Agenda/Minutes entry and submit your comment below the post. The SGTF encourages constructive feedback on the BCC's governance structure as we forge ahead together!
Deliberative/Collaborative Processes and Conflict Resolution
Doug Garner has kindly provided some literature on deliberative/collaborative processes and conflict resolution. Three short reads that might help guide us as we forge ahead into the Fall semester. Enjoy!

21st Kid's Cup 2017 Date
Monday, May 22nd will be the 21st Annual Kid's Cup Tournament
Golfers pay nothing – just raise $500!
All costs, including greens fees, carts, food, etc., continues to be paid by our sponsor, Express Employment Professionals.
Kid's Cup began at Willow Creek Golf Course in 1997. (Back then the tournament was called the Miracle Marathon.) It started out as a marathon-format – golfers played until they were too tired to continue.
Lots of things have changed since 1997, but a lot remains the same.
In 2001, Rochester area schoolchildren helped develop a new logo and changed the name to Kid's Cup. The format of play also changed, drawing praise from golfers of all abilities. The tournament today consists of 18 holes of a best ball format at one course and 18 holes of a scramble format at a second course.
All the money raised goes to the kids! 100% of funds raised goes to the Mayo Clinic Children's Center and Olmsted Medical Center supporting prenatal and new infant care.
Become a sponsor!
Being a Kid's Cup sponsor is a great way to give and be involved and start at just $250. Learn more about becoming a sponsor

Got the blues? The mean reds? I put together this Happy Post to cheer myself up whenever I feel *deflated*. It's not a sappy and inspirational post (those only seem to make things worse for me when I got the mean reds) its sole purpose is to make me laugh and get me out of my head for a while. So if you need to get out of your head for a while, I hope this post will do the trick! :)
The first dose of this Happy Post medicine comes via Simon's Cat. If you're a cat person, Simon's Cat *has* to cheer you up! This is one of my favorite clips, check out all the awesome Simon's Cat videos to choose your own favorite mean-reds zapper! :)
The next video never fails to crack me up! It's a kitteh playing I-Spy, or a human making it look like he's playing I-Spy, and his obsession with that blue rug is hilarious! Also, I love the way he says "the toaster" like he couldn't care less about the game - he just wants the treat!
My favorite TV shows always cheer me up too. One of the funniest characters *ever* on TV is Michel from Gilmore Girls. This is one of my favorite scenes, when Michel pretends he's not from France even though he has a French accent.
FRIENDS is probably the funniest TV show of all time, and this Thanksgiving scene is probably my favorite one of all ten seasons!
Though this one is not far behind...
I Love Lucy! Lucy tries to bake a loaf of bread, but she goes a little coo-coo on the yeast. It's a happy little loaf, isn't it? :D
And of course, this wouldn't be a Happy Post without a little booze...
I am also a big fan of The Nanny! Fran Drescher is such a funny lady! I was lucky enough to find another nanny fan on youtube that had put together a hilarious montage of some of the show's funniest moments:
And when all else fails, Tina Turner will take your mean-reds and dance all over them until they disappear! This clip of Tina's Proud Mary is a very powerful medicine, proceed with caution after the 4:15 marker!
And, of course, those pesky Lolcats always make me laugh and giggle like an idiot! A small handful of my favorite kittehs and other furry creatures...
I actually have this picture on a personalized coffee mug!
Thank you, Mr. Wing-it! :)
That's all folks! I hope this helped cheer you up too! I'm off to dance with Tina! :)

Skip to comments.AP NewsAlert [Boston suspects motivated by religion, worked alone]
Posted on 04/22/2013 3:18:07 PM PDT by Perdogg
2 US officials say evidence suggests Boston suspects motivated by religion, worked alone.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Alone? Can someone please explain where the nice mercedes comes from ? the good living with no known jobs, no rich parents? I smell a liberal
Now which religion might that be?
Obama: Dont form opinions on Boston attacks until government decides
I guess we can have an opinion now because they have decided.
Case solved. Nothing to see here...move on.
They don't mention it, so it can only be a Christian, Jew or Amish.
So I suppose one could say our entitlement system paid the bills.
2 US officials (never to be heard from again)....
Bull! And the little Saudi prince skips home free as well
Obama/Holder magic.
That's right.
These 2 "Officials" are just putting out misinformation...
A religion of two? No, three, because Mohammed played a major role.
Alone? How convenient.
Darn those Amish!!! We'll get even one of these days!
I dont believe this for one second!
This has now become the "official story" since AP are reporting it.
There's tons of questions...
What about the Saudi national going to school in Ohio but with an apartment in Boston?? Beck exposed it today.
Worked alone, huh?
Who radicalized the older one? Was it a self help book?
It sounds like a terrorist group effort. The Saudi, a major terrorist with loads of cash (and bomb materials found in his apt.), and a bunch of radical(easy to lead) Russian kids, and their boss overseas ("the ends justify the means") checking in.
I find that difficult to believe.
We are being lied to by those who were elected to office.
Not buying it. And I don't think a majority of the American people are going to buy it. They can say whatever they want. There are tens of thousands of internet investigators out here. If they won't come clean, we'll figure it out. They're not going to Benghazi this one. Screw the administration, screw the MSM and screw the traitorous cowardly Republicans in Congress. I don't give a crap what they say any more.
Where did they learn to build bombs?
Darn those Amish!!! Well get even one of these days!
and where did young Dzhokar get an M4 carbine assault rifle?
And where did they get those majorly expensive cars! Some one very rich was buying their favor. There's no doubt about that!
When it comes to who did this - it depends on the meaning of the word "IS."
They may have put the bombs down on the ground, but who was financing it? Who was with them? Who planned it? Who did they have affiliations with?
What about the 'not American' guy who loaned the terrorists his Mercedes SUV so they could elude capture?
That's right, I'd forgotten about that. Didn't they and some of their friends have late model, high-end cars? This claim smells.
Exactly right.
I'm not buying that one, either. There's no way these two brothers were working alone.
Financed by the Saudi's and that mosque of theirs.
That's the money part. Public assistance and scholarships must be shelling out some nice dough these days.
From what I can tell, they weren't expensive cars. The specific ones identified were a '67 Mercedes station wagon, and an '06-'07 BMW 3-series. Even the Mercedes SUV they hijacked looks to be about 15 years old.
And this AP reporter twit knows this,... precisely how!
Mechanic: Suspect was in rush for car day after bombing
The accused Marathon bombers wore expensive clothes and drove brand-new Porsches, Range Rovers and Mercedes and were in a rush for their car the day after the bombing, , says a Cambridge auto body shop owner.
He was nervous, and biting his nails, and he wanted his girlfriends car right away even though I hadnt fixed it yet, he said.
They drive new cars all the time, like Porsches, Range Rovers, all the time. They change cars all the time, he said.
Yep. They found a couple of young, easy ones to exploit.
There's big, BIG money here. These kids didn't have it. Someone else did. These kids were converted to Islam with Saudi cash. They never had it so good - anything they wanted was theirs for the asking ( gifts from Allah - or so they were told).
I can't believe that they haven't gotten the truth from this vile murderer. Who's questioning him? If this is the best that they can do, I'll be glad to take on the job.
>> "Im not buying that one, either. Theres no way these two brothers were working alone." <<
Agree 100%!
This is Obama's Oklahoma City, and these stupid brothers are his McVey. They were assisted with the necessary technology, and materials, and with the selection of a target.

Terrorist #1 Amazon.com wishlist (from Jester) (FR thread)
Tamerlan Amazon wish list (the Amazon page)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it didn't take a court order for Twitter user Jester to find it.
It's hard to call the FBI vetting "thorough" after looking at that and seeing his interests going back to 2006.
Yeah, that's what they said about the terrorists who bombed the WTC in '93 too. Called them "a loose group of fundamentalists with no ties to any state."
Yes. Was the family wealthy? The mother was arrested for shoplifting a year or so previous to the bombing, which doesn't necessarily imply a lack of funds, but still.
So um. why was the FBI investigating him a year or two ago? FBI was just clairvoyant? There had to be some indication these guys or at least one was dangerous and involved in some activity outside of in their own head.

Training Camp Notebook: Day 7
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 2 2012 8:05PM
With their backs against the wall following the comments from Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey on Wednesday night, the second team offense, led by Tyler Thigpen, rose up from the ashes and had a 'Rudy' moment.
Ok, not really.
But they were a lot better, and looked as though they took a step forward. Gailey actually put it best after practice.
"I think they did. It's hard to go the other way."
Comforting. That's probably the confidence they were looking for.
On to the breakdown:
- Practice MVP: DE Shawne Merriman. Yes, we've heard this song and dance before. Merriman looking good in training camp is something that took Bills fans by storm last year, only to be disappointed by yet another injury setback. But here we are again and Merriman is looking the part, mainly over the past two days, of a player that looks like he can help this team immensely. He was a nuisance to Ryan Fitzpatrick the past two nights, even accidentally knocking him in to the back wall of players during team drills on Thursday because he got there so quickly. Temper your enthusiasm, but Merriman is off to a good start.
- Practice LVP(s): The left tackle battle. Both rookie Cordy Glenn and second-year player Chris Hairston struggled mightily on Thursday, with Hairston perhaps having the better day of the two. Merriman really had his way with Glenn on Wednesday, and the left tackle couldn't snap out of it on Thursday. Merriman was once again the thorn in the side of the other left tackle combatant, Hairston. He had trouble dealing with the defensive end's speed, but got the better of Merriman on a pair of reps. I think Thursday was a step back in that position, but there's a long way to go in training camp.
- On to the aforementioned Thigpen. He had, for my money, his best practice yet in the 2012 training camp. He started off strongly in 7-on-7's, making the proper read and delivering a strike to the intended receiver, and he connected on a pair of deep passes perfectly. His first set of team reps weren't exactly awe-inspiring, but on his next set Thigpen came back and delivered a string of solid passes to the likes of Naaman Roosevelt and others on the second unit. He definitely needed a day like that to get him back in to the swing of things.
- On the other hand, Vince Young continues to struggle throwing the ball. One play was particularly head-scratching. Young zeroed in on his receiver that was covered perfectly by the cornerback, drawing safety Delano Howell over to the area as well. Young pump-faked, and instead of going elsewhere (or even tucking it and running), he cocked his arm back and let 'er rip to that very same receiver. It hung in the air, and Howell was a good pair of hands away from picking it off. The times Young has looked his most comfortable? When he's not inside his head. You see his poise when he tucks it and runs, but one play stood out in terms of shutting his mind off. Young was in shotgun, and the snap was delivered low. The quarterback kept his cool, picked up the ball, and delivered his best pass of the day 15 yards down the field to a receiver on a crossing route. You want your quarterback to analyze things, but you don't want him to be swimming in possibilities in his mind to the point where it cripples his natural abilities. There's still time yet for him, though.
- I know he was a bit of an afterthought heading in to training camp, but Derek Hagan isn't going anywhere anytime soon if he continues to practice the way that he has. I've made some notice of him on these before for his ferocity in and out of his breaks, and he's continuing it every single practice. He had the play of the day beating his man clean on a fly route, disguising his hands from the cornerback and going up to make the catch for a long touchdown. He seems to be earning some of that trust Ryan Fitzpatrick was talking about, and he has Gailey raving about his effort. These are all very good signs for the veteran receiver.
- Alex Carrington may make this team by default. Thought to be in some trouble to make the 53-man roster due to a lack of separation in his abilities from others at his position, Carrington now likely has to do something terrible to not make the team. He's got two main competitors for a roster spot: Torell Troup and Kellen Heard. Troup is struggling to overcome all his back problems from last year, sitting out of all the team drills so far. Meanwhile an ankle injury has sidelined Heard since one of the first few days of practice, and he was behind Carrington as it was. With all these reps -- especially without his competition taking them -- the only person he has to blame for not making the team is himself.
- Although the circumstances of injuries to starters aren't ideal, it's a very good thing that some of the Bills young linebackers are getting some valuable reps with the first team. Scott McKillop, Arthur Moats and Nigel Bradham are all getting an extended amount of time with the first team, and they shouldn't take it for granted. Bradham has really stuck out to me as a player that might be able to be a starter down the line. Getting those guys acclimated to the system is essential before the start of the season comes around.
Injury Notes:
- Kelvin Sheppard left practice early with the same undisclosed injury. Gailey isn't sure if it will be a day or a week before he's back. Chris Kelsay and Mark Anderson both didn't participate in team drills (Kelsay didn't practice at all) because of respective groin injuries. Linebacker Bryan Scott didn't do team drills because of a thigh injury.
- Eric Wood and Terrence McGee both continued to take reps in team drills. McGee put a big ice pack on his knee after his reps. Right tackle Erik Pears still has yet to take any team reps after sitting out a pair of practices a few days back.
- David Nelson, Kellen Heard, Justin Rogers, Kamar Aiken, Josh Nesbitt and Mike Caussin all didn't participate on Thursday.
The Bills resume practice at 3 pm at St. John Fisher College on Friday. The session is open to the general public.

My 27 year old daughter, Stefanie, lost a close friend last night. Her friend Mike died unexpectedly at age 27. His wife Sara was my daughter's best friend since they were 13. Stefanie was in their wedding party a year and a half ago. Sara was 4 months pregnant and they had just bought their first home. I am so upset about this and my daughter is beside herself.
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
Thanks SB and frosty. We were going to drive up tomorrow to be with them. They now live about 4 hours away. They actually live in my hometown, where I grew up. Mike is from there. In fact, I was good friends in High School with his Aunt Kathy! Anyway, we can't go tomorrow as a big snow storm is expected to start in the early morning. We are hoping weather will be fine on Sunday, so we can go to the wake. This is just awful.

One of my favorite artists out of Chicago, Rogue Vogue, just added another jam to his panty-droppin' arsenal of tunes. This time, he's taken the reins of Belgian duo Tempogeist's single "Hold On" featuring vocalist Samuel, adding in an impeccable saxophone touch with a pitched down vocal. Keep on goin' all night long… √+

Training, job, family -- it's almost impossible to find the time to devote to adequate sleep. Athletes engaged in hard training especially need the benefits of sound sleep to allow their bodies to recover. Don't let an insufficient amount of quality sleep compromise your health and sabotage everything you've worked so hard to achieve in your training. REM Caps' nutrient combination allows you to reap the health and performance benefits of a more sound, restful, and productive sleep. If you're looking for a safe, effective sleep aid, look no further.
The key of REM Caps is its use of Melatonin -- a hormone that is naturally produced and secreted by the pineal gland, a tiny organ in the brain. Melatonin is responsible for regulating the biological rhythms in humans and is an effective aid to alleviate insomnia. It's also a very powerful antioxidant. One well-known nutritionist has stated that melatonin is 'one of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered - with a greater range of effectiveness than vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta-carotene...' Another respected nutritionist writes, 'melatonin neutralizes one of the most damaging free radicals, and does so five times more effectively than the antioxidant enzyme glutathione...' Due to its antioxidant benefits melatonin has been shown to be a powerful immune system stimulator, with the potential for helping to prevent certain cancers. One bottle contains 60 capsules.

Mixed Results
The REM caps helped for a restful night sleep most of the time, but not always.
Restful night of sleep
As I chronic insomniac, these put me right to sleep and keep me asleep. I take it about 30-60 minutes before bed. Like all melatonin products, it can give you some crazy dreams, but only occasionally. But, so worth it to take an all-natural product like REM instead of drugstore pharmaceuticals.
Mixed results
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've tried these as an alternative to taking Tylenol PM or shots of NyQuil to sleep. Personally, the results were inconsistent - and I tried them over several weeks. I still have a couple bottles that I'll bring out, but I haven't had the success that I hoped for.
Insomniacs Rejoice!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Inexpensive, easy on the system and puts me to sleep. Especially useful for weeks where I'm overstressed. Also useful for nights after training rides or races where your body hurts so bad it's actually painful to try and go to sleep. Highly recommend it!
