As World War II raged, leaders of the Allied nations looked beyond the end of the conflict and held talks on a world body for preserving peace–an entity that would be stronger than the toothless League of Nations. Lions rallied behind the idea. In 1943 in Cleveland at their international convention, Lions endorsed a U.S. House of Representatives resolution calling for an international peacekeeping mechanism once the fighting ended.
In February 1945, Lions' founder Melvin Jones gathered with leaders of other national groups to meet with Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. and Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs Archibald MacLeish to discuss forming a United Nations. In April Lions headquarters asked clubs to hold a United Nations week to show support for the initiative.
Lion Clubs International was one of the first nongovernmental organizations invited to assist in drafting the U.N. Charter. Jones, International President D.A. Skeen of Salt Lake City, Utah, and future International President Fred W. Smith of Ventura, California, helped to formulate the NGO section of the charter and participated in developing the U.N.'s humanitarian mission. On June 26, 1945, the U.N. charter was signed by the representatives of 50 countries.
Two years later in 1947, in recognition of the importance of Lions Clubs to its mission, the United Nations gave Lions consultative status with the U.N. Economic and Social Council, committed to the welfare of people worldwide. For generations, Lions and the U. N. have shared many common goals and worked together to further peace and prosperity.
Each year Lions and the U.N. celebrate their relationship. Begun in 1978, Lions Day with the U.N. calls together leaders from government, business and the nonprofit sector to explore solutions to pressing global needs. The annual event features a keynote address by a recognized world leader, expert panel discussions and, since 1989, the awards ceremony for the winners of the Lions International Peace Poster Contest encouraging young people to express their perspectives on peace. Lions Day is punctuated with a reception for U.N. diplomats, Lions, speakers and guests to celebrate this special and enduring relationship.

As a part of the August Engaging Our Youth Centennial Service Challenge, we're featuring spotlights on Lions Youth Camp and Exchange chairpersons and participants. Today's spotlight is on Chelsee Augusta Moe, a 2015 YCE participant who is now a news anchor in Minnesota. Learn how you can get involved with Lions Youth Camps and Exchange!
The Lions Club has changed my life and it is something that I am forever thankful for. After I graduated college from the University of Arizona, I decided that before I started applying for "real" jobs I wanted to travel. This dream of mine was quickly knocked down when I didn't have the funds or organization to do so.
Some very close family friends told me about the Lions Youth Camp and Exchange program. I couldn't believe that a group such as this really existed; I was in awe. I applied to go to Italy and was able to go last summer. The people that I met while I was there and the experiences that I had forever changed my life and shaped me into the person that I am.
I was able to stay with a host family that I fell in love with, eat new foods and travel a new country. But the best part of it all was the people that I met along the way.
I met people from far and wide… Japan, Canada, Denmark, Hungary and many more. These people taught me how to love and how to be accepting. They taught me to get out of my comfort zone and to never let anything stop me. These people are now friends that I will have for the rest of my life.
Even though I am back in the states now working as a News Anchor in Minnesota, I remember things that I learned in Italy in my day to day life. In fact, the Lions here have already asked me to join their club. It is a group I will always be a part of and one that anyone can find all over the world. I am forever thankful for the Lions club and my experiences in Italy.

Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) is a leader in providing support for preventing avoidable blindness and restoring sight for people around the world. Our sight programs include developing and improving eye care systems, providing sight-restoring surgeries and treatments, and distributing medications to those most at-risk for eye diseases.
Since 1990, LCIF's SightFirst program has played a key role in reducing global blindness. With a focus on building comprehensive and sustainable eye care systems, SightFirst provides funding for projects that deliver eye care services, build or strengthen eye care facilities, train professionals and build awareness about eye health in underserved communities.
In January 2000, the Belize City Lions Club received a US$260,000 SightFirst grant to eliminate the cataract backlog in Belize within five years and establish the country's first specialized public eye care center. This was a collaborative effort with the Belize Council for the Visually Impaired (BCVI), the Ministry of Health, PAHO, CBM, and Sight Savers International. The grant funded the completion and furnishing of the eye clinic's hostel, purchased ophthalmic equipment and provided training for eye care professionals. Ultimately, the successful project more than doubled the number of cataract surgeries performed each year, provided specialized diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma treatment, and offered patients and families an affordable place to stay while receiving care away from home.
In August 2013, the Lions of Belize received a US$192,326 SightFirst grant for the detection and treatment of diabetic retinopathy throughout Belize. The funds equipped the National Eye Clinic and five satellite clinics, in partnership with BCVI. Five optometrists, two nurses, and four assistants were trained on equipment use, identification, and referral of patients with diabetic retinopathy. One ophthalmologist was trained on laser surgery, enabling the provision of diabetic retinopathy laser treatment year round. The funds also allowed for the development of a diabetic retinopathy public awareness campaign, in partnership with the Ministry of Health's Community Health Workers. Since 2013, 1,551 patients have been screened and 362 have received laser treatment.
Congratulations, BCVI, on 35 years of fulfilling your mission to prevent and cure blindness, restore sight, and to rehabilitate and educate people who are blind to enable them to use their talents and abilities to live independent lives. Here's to 35 more!

Dear Lions,
I am honored to serve as Chairperson of your Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). I believe strongly in our Foundation, which is a vital part of Lions' international service efforts. One of the most touching moments of my life was seeing how Lions joined together with LCIF to provide food, supplies, and opportunities to the refugees struggling in Europe. I am so proud to be a part of this foundation.
LCIF helps Lions improve peoples' lives around the world, combating vision problems, responding to major catastrophes, providing valuable life skills to youth, and so much more. LCIF helps all Lions serve by providing grant funding for your local and global humanitarian efforts, and Lions help to support LCIF's mission.
LCIF sets a fundraising goal every year to meet Lions' humanitarian needs worldwide. While we do not have the final numbers yet for 2015-16, we expect that you Lions donated over US$39 million. What an incredible feat! With your help, we hope to raise just over US$45 million this year so that we may continue serving the world and promoting harmony.
I like to think of the beginning of a new year the start of something great, and I am excited to embark on this journey alongside you Lions, some of the most dedicated and selfless people the world has ever seen. I know that together we will achieve many great accomplishments this year. Thank you for your dedication to our Foundation!
Dr. Jitsuhiro Yamada
Chairperson, Lions Clubs International Foundation

Today's post is by Dianne Corlew, Lion and wife of International President Chancellor Bob Corlew. Be sure to follow Dianne's Lions Partners in Education Facebook page!
At the District Governors Elect Partners in Service Seminar, I talked about membership and the impact we can make as members. I also expressed that the best way to support our DG partners is to become a Lion! I then offered the opportunity to become members at the DGE Celebration Banquet. Six people responded that they wanted to become members. We had an overwhelming response at the banquet! But I wanted to share with you the stories of the six who contacted me.
Carol's husband, DG Guy, has been a Lion for 21 years. They have been married for 31 years. Carol has helped with projects and attended various meetings and events. Carol surprised Guy! DG Guy was amazed and pleased to have his wife and number one supporter as his first new member of his DG year.
When DG Guy and Lion Carol returned from the International Convention and told their daughter, Alyssa (22 years old), that Carol has become a Lion, the first thing out of her mouth was "And when do I get to become a Lion?" Alyssa is now a Lion as well as their 25 year old son, Kyle.
I first meet Carlota and her husband, Richardo, two years ago when we visited Panama. We immediately formed a friendship. She has a family strongly involved in Lions. Their daughter is a Lion. Their grandson is also involved. When we talked to their grandson he told us he wants to be a Lions Clubs International District Governor someday. What a great aspiration for a young man! Carlota was like so many others I have met. She has a heart of a Lion, works harder than a lot of Lions members, but is not a member. I encouraged her then and again on a later visit to become a Lion. I was so excited and happy when she and Richardo came to get their DGE photos and she told me she was going to join!
Joe Prochaska, Partner in Service of DG Lisa Prochaska, decided to join. They are from Iowa Falls Lions Club. Lisa joined in 2010 and quickly held club offices. Lisa's club met at noon and Joe could not get away from his job for the meeting. He works 30 minutes away. Bob and I were like that as well, and I shared this at the Partners in Service Seminar. That is why Bob and I belong to different clubs. Just recently Lisa's club decided to change their meeting times to one at noon and one in the evening. That way they could offer times to accommodate more members. Joe decided now was the time for him to join. What a great way to support a woman in a leadership position! And we are so glad to have Joe as a member of Lions Clubs International!
Debbie McKnight, a Lioness, decided to join and support her husband, DG Kerry McKnight. Debbie has been a member of the New Freedom Lioness Club for 16 years. As a Lioness she has been involved in service for years. I absolutely love to see what I call "Lioness Lions"! She is now a member of both clubs. DG Kerry had encouraged Debbie to join as an example for other spouses. Now DG Kerry and Debbie plan to work together with a goal to increase women membership in the district. I am sure they will accomplish this goal!
Rosemarie Maythem, spouse of DG Lance Maytham, decided to join also. They are from the Bredasdorp Lions Club, the southernmost club in Africa! Bredasorp is a grain and sheep farming community. Lance is an accountant. Rosemarie is retired from a dried flower export company.
Lance became a Lion in 1980. Ladies were not permitted to join then. When Lions clubs opened up to women, Lance's club did not immediately accept ladies as members. Rosemarie has worked side by side with Lance for years. Rosemarie will continue to work side by side with Lance but she is now his first new member of his District Governor year! Rosemarie, we are so glad to have you as a member!
We met DGE Andy Port last year in Massachusetts. He has the kindest, gentlest and most caring spirit. His wife, Amy, is a volunteer in her church and her community. She was president of the town's food pantry, a deacon in their church, and served the community of Holliston for 21 years in various service roles. She is the sweetest lady. I was surprised to find out she was not a Lion. Well, she is now! DG Andy said his year is off to a great start. I saw DG Andy later at the convention and he said his District Governor year was off to a great start because he had as his first new member – the most giving, caring person in the world.

As It Celebrates its Tenth Year, D.C. Hunger Solutions Recognizes D.C. Councilmember Mary Cheh for her Work to End Hunger in the District
Pictured: Alex Ashbrook, Director of D.C. Hunger Solutions, presents the Hunger Hero award to Councilmember Mary Cheh.
Washington, D.C. December 11, 2012 In recognition of her leadership to end hunger and promote nutrition in the nations capital, D.C. Hunger Solutions presented its Hunger Hero award to Councilmember Mary Cheh. Cheh accepted the award at a December 10th event commemorating D.C. Hunger Solutions decade of work to end hunger and promote nutrition in the District of Columbia.
Councilmember Chehs work is helping pave the way to a hunger-free District, and we are grateful for her extraordinary leadership. D.C. Hunger Solutions is privileged to call her a friend and partner in our fight against hunger, said Alex Ashbrook, Director of D.C. Hunger Solutions, an anti-hunger group in Washington D.C. and an initiative of the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). As we look ahead to the next ten years, we look forward to achieving even more gains for low-income residents with Councilmember Chehs support.
Councilmember Cheh has long advocated for improved food and nutrition policies in the District. Her Healthy Schools Act, which was passed in 2010, is improving the health and nutrition of students who attend D.C. public and charter schools. The Act was credited with helping D.C. achieve the number one ranking in the nation in 2011 for school breakfast participation among low-income children.
Her work does not end there. With the goal of increasing access to nutritious food retail in low-income areas, Councilmember Cheh introduced and worked to pass the FEED (Food, Environment, and Economic Development) D.C. Act in 2010. Most recently, in October 2012, to raise awareness about the importance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Cheh took part in a SNAP challenge, where for one week she used the average SNAP allotment $30 in Washington, D.C. for all of her food. At the conclusion of the Challenge, Cheh introduced a resolution to commemorate the importance of SNAP and the need to keep the program strong.

Canon's press material for the EOS 5D states that it 'defines (a) new D-SLR category', while we're not typically too concerned with marketing talk this particular statement is clearly pretty accurate. The EOS 5D is unlike any previous digital SLR in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the EOS 20D, although in your hand it feels noticeably 'chunkier'). The EOS 5D is aimed to slot in between the EOS 20D and the EOS-1D professional digital SLR's, an important difference when compared to the latter is that the EOS 5D doesn't have any environmental seals. While Canon don't specifically refer to the EOS 5D as a 'professional' digital SLR it will have obvious appeal to professionals who want a high quality digital SLR in a body lighter than the EOS-1D. It will also no doubt appeal to current EOS 20D owners (although lets hope they've not bought too many EF-S lenses...) äë ..

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most common cause of death and disability for children. There is a deficiency in the standardization of evidenced-based care for the management of pediatric TBI. Evaluating the comparative effectiveness and harms of different health care practices will highlight strategies to improve the care of and outcomes for children hospitalized with TBI. These findings will inform the development of updated evidenced- based TBI care guidelines, as well as identify practice patterns that need to be standardized for future multicenter randomized clinical trials. This will have significant impact on the health of children given the high incidence and morbidity associated with TBI. Purpose: In response to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau's Strategic Research Issue #III of evaluating "services and systems to assure quality of care for maternal and child health populations", we propose to examine variations in care practices (e.g. neurosurgical procedures, medication administration) and in-hospital outcomes (e.g. mortality, cardiac arrest, length of stay) for children hospitalized with TBI among 43 pediatric hospitals across the United States. The aims of the proposal are to characterize care practices, morbidity, and mortality for children with TBI and then assess the effects of these care practices, as well as injury characteristics and hospital characteristics, on in-hospital outcomes, while controlling for hospital and patient level covariates. Design: Retrospective cohort study Methods: Data will be retrospectively collected from the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database by identifying youth hospitalized for TBI, ages 0-18 years, from January 1, 2004 - December 31, 2013. The PHIS database contains administrative data (e.g. demographics, diagnoses) and resource utilization data (e.g. pharmaceuticals, imaging) from 43 not-for-profit, tertiary care pediatric hospitals in the United States. Descriptive comparisons will be made among data collected over the past ten years from the PHIS hospitals with regards to patient population demographics (e.g. race, age), TBI characteristics (e.g. mechanism, injury pattern), care practices, and in-hospital outcomes: mortality, cardiac arrest, mechanical ventilation >96 hours, length of stay, cost of stay, and readmission and/or emergency room evaluation within 30 days of initial TBI, with the primary outcome being mortality. Mixed effects regression modeling will be used to compare care practices and outcomes between PHIS hospitals. To determine if care practices, injury characteristics, and hospital characteristics (overall size, trauma level designation) predict in-hospital outcomes, a mixed effects model using generalized estimation equations (GEE), with subjects as random effects, will be created.
Clinical Practice, Cost Effectiveness, Emergency Care, Health Care Costs, Health Care Utilization, Mortality, Trauma & Injury

Rated 5 out of 5 by Philzinc from Good honest grub! Barley flakes are larger and more chewy than oat flakes, but they soften readily if you soak them in water or milk for a short time. They taste similar to oat flakes - a mild, unrefined, unpretentious flavour. I discovered you can make a quick, tasty meal if you put some dry barley flakes in a bowl and add a tin of baked beans in tomato sauce. Stir the 2 ingredients together so that the flakes absorb all the sauce. Eat cold. It has a delicious flavour and contains good quality protein because the 2 ingredients complement each other's set of amino acids.

What to do Your First Time to Chicago
Budget Chicago
Been coming here for years & love the energy of the staff. The food is delicious & the menu has a wide vegan option for our friend.
The berry pancakes won!! They were delicious! Fresh, fluffy, buttermilk. So wonderful and so fantastic I could finish the last one...
Please see the picture I've posted below.
Best is the proximity to Wrigleyville!!
This is a nice local diner with extended hours on weekends. The server was very courteous and made us feel welcome. The prices were reasonable and the food was standard affair. It has Vegetarian and Vegan options. The diner is kid friendly but the location is close by Wrigley Stadium and dozens of sports bars so think twice before bringing...
We arrived two hours before a Cubs game as the place was recommended by one of the employees of the Cubs. We waited ten minutes to finally have the wait person to greet us, if that is what you would call it. Our coffee was served by the bus person who was wonderful. The wait person took our order and...
My vegetarian daughter recommended this place and my family enjoyed it. My wife and I both went with the burrito which was delicious. Good selection of beers (some local), our waiter was great and very helpful. Nice place to go before a concert or game.
A few friends and I visited this place after the cubs game as everywhere else was very busy and it looked like there was enough space to accommodate us. The waitress was lovely and helpful but chronically slow. When the food came we ended up sending back my partners food because it was freezing cold. It came back and had...
Nice to find this diner on Clark in Chicago near Wrigley Field. Great prices for large quantities of food. Had the eggs florentine and found it to be very good. We also enjoyed Chorizo and Chicken tostadas for our two gluten free folks. Abigail was an excellent server. Very nice and cheery.
When we used to live in Chicago it was our 'go to' place.
Funky... Ideal for a quick meal or stay longer catching up with friends...
Even if we had our favorites, if we felt like trying something new was always good. Good beer selection. And the prices are very convenient as well.
Now is our 'must visit' when we...
As a traveling omelet afficionado, I have visited many diners in my day. And without a doubt pick me up takes the cake as the best.
When I lived in Chicago after every workout I would get an omelet here in lieu of a protein shake, and then get a cup of their vegetarian chili and dump it all over...
Went for a grilled ham and cheese..what i got was cold ham, unmelted cheese, on toast.
When i took food back, manager said they only make grilled cheese and didnt know how a grilled HAM and cheese should be made. When i suggested that the key word was GRILLED the manager accused me of being rude. After a bit of...

...and other reasons you should not give a damn when you get free advice about the way you should look.
It's time to address something that's been on my mind for a really long time. The only reason I haven't done this before is because I didn't want to sound repetitive or annoying but it has been incessantly jumping in my head and I have to talk about it here.
In August, Nirali's post on Buzzfeed about 11 curvy Indian instagrammers took me by surprise and I was completely overwhelmed but I noticed all the comments about fatness and the irritation with Buzzfeed for featuring plus-size women. At the time I just let it be because I kept telling myself: trolls are always hanging around, we just ignore them. After a few weeks I began noticing a pattern - any project done on body image, plus-size women, bulling about fatness got hoards of comments like "You're fat, nothing else. Just go hit the gym." It hit a point of absolute frustration when I read a comment about how fat-shaming is the one form of bullying that can save lives on a couple of posts including the recent video of Genny Zuniga. I'm specifically addressing fat-shaming but I know that this is the general attitude towards many things uploaded on the internet and while criticism is okay, bullying is not.
I'm sick and tired of people thinking this is a joke or irrelevant because it's not. It's comments like this that make people feel like shit and spiral into a cave of sadness. It's comments like this that cause fad diets and body image dysmorphia. It's comments like this that ruin someone's day. It's comments like this that cause a space polluted with negative energy when it is already enveloped with cruelty. It seems like everyone has constantly been speaking about peace but no one is listening. It kills me to see so many people out there hating the person they see in the mirror. It angers me when I'm walking past the hall and I overhear an advertisement or TV show clearly indicating that the only way to a man's heart is a diet. It's frustrating when people at stores won't stop staring at fat people like they don't deserve to dress up the way they want.
I will say this a thousand times over - we have different bodies and it's not a crime.
[I'll be addressing this over a series of posts, so hang on]

Seatrout Secrets
Spotted seatrout or specks as they're often called, are a favorite quarry for skiff anglers from the Chesapeake Bay to Laguna Madre. They can be fooled by a variety of baits and lures, they're abundant and delicious prepared several ways. Smaller trout are not difficult to find. Trophy "gator" trout are very wary, however, and a challenging adversary. To catch big fish, try these techniques:

Lowrance provided Serious Excitement on and off the Water at the Bassmaster Classic
Lowrance® continued its domination of America's tournament-fishing circuit late last month as Lowrance Pro Jordan Lee won the 2017 Bassmaster Classic Championship on Lake Conroe in Houston, Texas. A 25-year-old professional angler from Guntersville, Alabama, Lee became the sixth consecutive Lowrance angler to win the Classic when he finished with a three-day total of 56 pounds, 10 ounces, taking home $300,000 and the most coveted trophy in the sport. Steve Kennedy, who also competed in the event with Lowrance marine electronics, finished second with a total weight of 55 pounds, 1 ounce.
Turn an Average Day on the Flats into an Epic One!
The sight of a cruising redfish nosing down on a well-presented artificial bait is enough to get any angler's heart pumping at a rapid pace, but stalking redfish in skinny waterfalls outside the comfort zone of many fishermen. Whether fishing the Laguna Madre, Biloxi Marsh, Everglades, or Carolina coast – or anywhere in between – following a few common guidelines will help turn an average day on the flats into an epic one.
What to Tip the "Tipper"
He or she is your guide into those woods, out on that river, etc. They are the ones who have gone to school and been educated in this particular sport/pleasure you are delving into for your vacation time, and they are the ones with companies that make it easier than ever to plan a guided hunt or trip for you, family and friends. They are also the ones with just the right "tip" that could allow you to have the most successful hunt you've ever had.

Stands a Shadow by Col Buchanan
The sequel to 'Farlander' sees the Holy Matriarch of Mann ordering a risky invasion of the Free Ports. Her plans are the complete conquest of the fortress city of Bar-Khos, whose walls have held the empire at bay for ten long years of siege.
Ash is an ageing Roshun assassin who is determined to avenge the previous victims of the Matriarch. Che the Matriarch's personal Diplomat and also a trained killer of the state is questioning his own path in all of this.
With the battle for the Free Ports intensifying more lives are drawn into the conflict: Bahn, a siege shocked soldier on the verge of losing his mind; Bull, a murderer; and Curl a young dross-addicted prostitute who finds herself making a stand against the Mannian Empire.
Only the determination of one man seeking redemption may be enough to sway the final outcome...
This novel is packed with action, adventure and incident; there are plenty of assassinations, political intrigues, an exciting shipwreck and a battle all against the backdrop of a fight against tyranny.
This is a grimy, poverty and disease stricken world where scheming, plotting and corruption reign supreme. All of the characters are believable and compelling and the story is told from their different perspectives making it interesting for the reader.
One of Buchanan's great strengths as a writer is that he writes with great empathy for his protagonists who are three dimensional, multi layered and fallible people suffering hardship and uncertainty and not just chess pieces being moved around a board.
The beachhead, battlefield and the city siege are all gripping and exciting as the fortunes of both sides ebb and flow. It may not be to the liking of all readers but I enjoyed the juxtaposition of zeppelins here known as 'skyships,' rifles, grenades and cannons used alongside medieval weapons. Archers fight side by side with riflemen, swords and daggers are used for close quarter fighting and the battles are fought on land, on sea and in the air.
This is a cleverly plotted story which makes it very clear that our lives and their outcomes are all about the choices we ultimately make. It is also a very human story with the cost of war made all too apparent. The descriptions of the people and places are vivid and the city of Bar-Khos is a character in itself.
What really makes this work is that the reader will care about the characters and wonder who will actually survive by the books conclusion. This is simply a riveting edition in the 'Heart of the World Series' and is recommended reading.

Argh. I bought a copy of this for my collection, and didn't realize until I just saw in an Amazon review that most of it is DLC codes. For the price, I can see why it's still widely available and not very popular.
What game(s) are actually included on the discs?

Dance Music Pick of the Week: Ben Watt at Focus
Ben Watt is one half of Everything But The Girl, the pop group he co-founded with his wife, Tracey Thorn, in the 1990s. As the act turned to electronic influence, he came to DJing and he hasn't really looked back--even when DJing is not half as lucrative as being a pop star.
Watt's spin sessions and production have been beacons of shiny, sometimes gorgeous house music that always had a sheen of purpose and quality about it. His Buzzin' Fly label has been a talent well (Justin Martin; Terence Trent D'Arby) for true-house DJs the world over. Where deep house is boring and progressive house is for glow-stickers, Watt's style always exudes class. You could be sweating to his DJ sets, or you could be sipping champagne. Either way would be appropriate.
But Watt's forays to European after-hours parties and Ibizan massives (he was a resident on the famed Terrace at Ibizan club Space over the summer) have changed his style. This Brit has a third wind: Like other house heads such as Dubfire of Deep Dish, Watt has been inspired by the dark, dubby, late-night techno of the continent, and he's been integrating some of the sounds into his sets. Check out the constantly evolving, but ever apropos sounds of Ben Watt Tuesday in Newport Beach.
Focus presents Ben Watt Tuesday at Tapas, 4253 Martingale Way, Newport Beach. 18+. Doors at 9:30. Tickets $10 advance. Info: focus-oc.com.

Construction of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center, the future home of the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, is underway on Columbia's Manhattanville campus. Led by professors Richard Axel, Thomas Jessell (pictured here), and Eric Kandel, the Institute will open up new areas of collaboration within the sciences, social sciences, the arts, and humanities—addressing the roots of human behavior as well as the causes of neurological and psychiatric diseases. This state-of-the-art research center will be the nation's largest private academic facility dedicated to brain research, a home for the world's leading neuroscientists to investigate complex questions of the brain and mind. Renowned architect Renzo Piano has designed the center to facilitate collaboration and interaction, with an eye to engaging and educating the public.
New York City and Columbia University lost a forward-looking philanthropist with the passing of Dawn M. Greene '08HON in August 2010. As president and CEO of the Jerome L. Greene Foundation, Mrs. Greene continued a tradition of philanthropy in education, the arts, and medicine begun by her late husband, Jerome L. Greene '26CC, '28LAW, a prominent New York lawyer and real estate investor who died in 1999. In total, the Greene family and the foundation gave nearly $300 million to the University, including a $250 million transformational gift in support of the Jerome L. Greene Science Center.
"Dawn was a visionary who established as her top priority support for the study of mind, brain, and behavior, because she saw it as the most compelling intellectual challenge of the 21st century," said President Lee C. Bollinger.

Cost Estimation Guidance
The Department is in the process of developing a series of cost estimation Guidance Notes which, in aggregate, will constitute the Cost Estimation Guidance referred to in Appendix B to the Department's Notes on Administration for Land Transport Infrastructure Projects 2014–15 to 2018–19 (the NOA). The Cost Estimation Guidance will provisionally comprise the following key components:
- Overview
- Guidance Note 1 (Project Scope)
- Guidance Note 2 (Base Cost Estimation)
- Guidance Note 3A and 3B (Probabilistic and Deterministic Contingency Estimation)
- Guidance Note 4 Outturn (Escalation) Cost Estimation
It is not intended that the Cost Estimation Guidance be available as a printed bound document. Rather it will be published on the Department's website in PDF form, both as individual components, as well as a single consolidated document, that can either be read online or downloaded for subsequent use.
The version date of each component of the Cost Estimation Guidance will be listed on the webpage and will also appear as Appendix A Current Component Version Status–Cost Estimation Guidance to the Cost Estimation Guidance Overview component.
The Guidance will outline the principles that must be followed by proponents in preparing cost estimates accompanying Project Proposal Reports, submitted in accordance with the NOA, which seek Australian Government funding for road and rail infrastructure projects. The NOA and the associated National Partnership Agreement is available at the following link:
Published Guidance Notes
The following Guidance Notes have been published following a thorough consultation process and are available for download:
- Guidance Note 1 – Project Scope, Version 1.0, March 2017 PDF: 354 KB
- Guidance Note 2 – Base Cost Estimation, Version 1.0, March 2017 PDF: 514 KB
Consultation process
As it progressively develops the Cost Estimation Guidance, the Department will be undertaking a process of consultation with the aim of seeking feedback on each component prior to final publication.
Users should check this webpage periodically for the opportunity to view and comment on the Guidance Notes as they are developed. It is anticipated that the various components of the Cost Estimation Guidance will be available for review and comment via this webpage according to the following schedule:
- Overview - May 2017
- Guidance Note 1 - Version 1.0 available for download
- Guidance Note 2 - Version 1.0 available for download
- Guidance Note 3A - April 2017
- Guidance Note 3B - Consultation period closed 17 February 2017, publication TBA
- Guidance Note 4 - May 2017

Just two months after running the London Marathon, Kate Lawler appears a shadow of her former self.
The 2002 Big Brother winner looked dangerously thin as she soaked up the sunshine on a Spanish beach last week.
A fit and athletic Kate, 28, was recently pictured running the marathon wearing only Ann Summers lingerie to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
But despite downing a pint of beer, there was no sign of a beer belly as ultra-slim Kate headed for a swim in a skimpy black bikini.
Skinny: Kate Lawler soaks up the sunshine on a Spanish beach
Kate's body shape has fluctuated since coming out of the BB house as the 5ft 7in star's weight at one point dropped down to 8st 8lb.
The DJ reportedly refuses to eat carbohydrates in the evening and trains four to five times a week at the gym.
Kate said: "I've always been a big eater but I stay skinny because I'm so active. I never have dessert but I can't resist bread."
Yo-Yo: Kate's weight appears to have dropped dramatically in the last few months

Tiger Woods spoke today while the world watched and listened.
The one thing about Friday morning statements is that they give the working world something to talk about. And Tiger was all the buzz today. When Tiger Woods stepped out from behind the blue curtain for his statement at 11:00 a.m. ET, fans and non-fans alike grouped themselves around the nearest television and computer monitors.
While Tiger's 13-minute statement was aired live on numerous networks, including our own, the most active community of viewers were online. Ustream has reported that their live stream of the event drew 683,000 views while Trendrr counted 93,000 tweets about the broadcast before noon.
Of course, many of those tweeting about the spectacle were fellow athletes providing interesting perspectives into the world of Tiger. Some, like Blake Griffin, were as curious as the average viewer:
@blakegriffin: is anybody else excited for this tiger woods press conference? i feel like i shouldn't be but i am...
Others, like Chad Ochocinco, mixed their anticipation with practical advice:
@OGOchoCinco: Tiger Woods speaks in 40 minutes, any bets on tears flowing as part of the apoligy? Tears worked for me to get an ex back n 1995.
Once Tiger appeared on camera and began his statement, he apologized for his cheating ways and said he was unsure of when he will return to competitive golf. Meanwhile, the live opinions of his confessions began to roll in via Twitter from the likes of a supportive Ray Rice,
@RayRice27: Get em tiger tell em how u feel we all make mistakes
and a somewhat less approving Darrelle Revis,
@Revis24: This tiger woods interview is crazy. It doesn't look realistic.
Revis wasn't alone in his assessment - Bill Simmons quickly cranked out a column describing Tiger's first appearance in months as a "borderline train wreck" and compared the man himself to both C3PO and Arnold Schwarzenegger from "Terminator 2."
However, other reactions around the sports world were more positive, including those of Tiger's fellow PGA Tour players and a poll of SportsNation viewers. As Tiger heads out for more treatment and therapy starting tomorrow, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel and an opportunity for him to one day be welcomed back.
Which brings us to what Jason Sobel noted was the biggest sports news to come out of the whole thing: we still don't know when Tiger will be back on the PGA Tour. But while this question lingers, and Friday afternoon fades into the weekend, it's only a matter of time until this whole episode recedes into the background.
As former NFL offensive lineman Willie Anderson suggested,
@WillAnderson79: Ok! Let's move on! Back to educating our children, finding Americans jobs, improve economy, Protecting against terrorist, and feeding th ...
And just like that, it was over. Well, at least for those of us paying attention. Some, like Kevin Durant, missed the whole extravaganza:
@KevinDurant35: All these tweets about tiger! What happened? we on da plane I can't c...
Meanwhile others, like Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh, remained blissfully unaware:
@JimHarbaugh: If anyone knows how to reach them, I'd like to reunite my all-time favorite band Hootie & The Blowfish to perform @ Stanford game this fall.
Come to think of it, perhaps Harbaugh is far more perceptive than we are giving him credit for. After all, Hootie & The Blowfish did serenade Tiger and his wife, Elin, at their wedding reception. And, no doubt, Tiger would love to have this whole mess in his cracked rearview mirror.

And, as was the case in the previous two games, Tech came out on top, winning 10-9 on Wednesday.
Tech catcher Willie Durazo went 2-for-4 with three RBIs, while Bryon Smith and Gera Alvarez each knocked in a pair for Tech.
Dusty Buck picked up his first win of the season, allowing just two runs on three hits with three walks and three strikeouts in five innings. J.J. Newman got the save despite allowing two runs on a homer in the bottom of the eighth.
TCU drops to 3-6 on the year, with four of those losses coming against Tech. The Horned Frogs, as in Tuesday's 14-13 Tech win, overcame a huge deficit to close to within one, but came no closer.
Tim Collinsworth took the loss, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four in 3 2/3 innings work.
The Raiders (10-4) jumped out to a 10-1 lead through 5 1/2 innings before TCU started chipping away. TCU cut it to 10-4 on Will Lewis' two-run single and an RBI infield hit by Levin Robinson.
The big blow came in the eighth when Lewis ripped a three-run homer to left off Tech reliever J.D. Seger. Newman came in and got two quick outs before giving up a single and a two-run homer to left by Mike Settle, pulling the Frogs within a run.
Newman, however, rallied to get the final out of the inning, then retired the Horned Frogs in order in the ninth, which included back-to-back strikeouts.
Alvarez finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs and three runs scored, while Smith went 2-for-4.
Joel Buchenauer also had a two-hit game with an RBI, while Nick Blankenship ripped hit sixth homer of the season, a solo shot to left in the second.

With so many different ED medications currently offered in the market, the process of choosing the right one for yourself often gets really challenging. You have decided to stick with Cialis? Well, then there will still be at least 4 different versions of this medication for you to choose from. Here on our site we will try to give you a better understanding of the difference between these. This article will be fully dedicated to Cialis 5 mg – the stronger version of Cialis for daily use. It is exactly the one you are interested in? Well, then just go ahead and keep reading!
Cialis 5 mg is an erectile dysfunction medication that is usually used on daily basis in order to improve blood circulation in pelvic area and thus restore sexual function in men. However, it should be noted that in some patients 5 mg pills might even be sufficient when used on as needed basis. This may happen in two cases – when pills of such strength are effective enough in the treatment of erectile dysfunction or when the patient doesn't tolerate Tadalafil that well.
5 mg is the amount of Tadalafil in every Cialis pill. Cialis 5 mg manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company are yellow film-coated almond-shaped pills with 'C 5' imprinted on one side. Cialis by Eli Lilly is also referred to as 'brand-name Cialis' as opposed to 'generic Cialis' manufactured by other pharmaceutical companies. As there are currently at least several dozens of generic Cialis manufacturers offering their meds for purchase online and in land-based pharmacies around the world, we won't list all of the brand names here – you can get this information from practically any site dedicated to Cialis generics.
If your doctor says that 5 mg Cialis pills taken on as-needed basis will be enough for you, take them 30-45 minutes prior to expected sexual activity and expect their effect to last for up to 36 hours. There are certain kidney and liver disorders that may extend the half-life of Cialis even further, so you need to make sure you don't suffer from any of these. Otherwise, you might be advised to avoid taking Cialis more frequently than once in every few days to make sure the concentration of Tadalafil in your system doesn't reach critical levels, which may result in an overdose.
Alternatively, if you are taking Cialis 5 mg on daily basis, follow your schedule carefully and never take more than 1 pill in 24 hours, even if you skip a dose. Note that daily Cialis is usually prescribed to people who have sex more than twice a week. If you're less sexually active than that, taking Cialis as needed might be a safer/more affordable option for you.
Is Cialis 5 mg less dangerous than high-strength Cialis?
Even though we wouldn't call Cialis downright dangerous, it's correct that Cialis 5 mg is less likely to cause any unwanted adverse side effects as opposed to Cialis 10 mg and Cialis 20 mg. Here are some numbers showcasing it. While only 10% (or less) of Cialis 5 mg users report suffering from headache after taking the pill, the same number among Cialis 20 mg users is already as high as 16%.
However, even though Cialis 5 mg is not really likely to cause any side effects, there are still a few simple rules that you need to follow when taking it. Never take it along with nitrates, alpha-blockers or antihypertensives as this might cause dangerous heart and blood pressure disorders that can potentially lead to heart attack or stroke. Watch out for symptoms of serious side effects – such as pain or numbness in your chest, limbs or lower jaw, sudden loss of vision or hearing, extreme dizziness or priapism. If any of these appear, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
How much does Cialis 5 mg cost?
Cialis 5 mg prices may vary greatly depending on your geographical location. This medication is usually the most expensive in such countries as the United States and the UK while prices in Canada, Mexico and the majority of European countries are usually much lower. If you prefer buying your Cialis from major land-based pharmacies like Kroeger's, CVS or Walgreens, you should be ready to pay up to $7 per pill or around $200 for a monthly supply of the medication. Alternatively, you can order it online from Canada, thus bringing the price of each pill down to around $3.
Besides, if you don't mind using Cialis generics instead of sticking with the more expensive brand-name pill by Eli Lilly and Company, you can save even more money. Generic pills that are 100% identical to 'authentic' Cialis in terms of safety, effectiveness and ingredients can cost as low as $1. Of course, we strongly recommend that you choose only reliable online pharmacies and manufacturers in case you decide to go for generics as the risks of running into scammers are still rather high here.
All in all, Cialis 5 mg is a very popular and powerful ED medication that can be used both on daily and as-needed basis depending on your condition. If it doesn't work too well when taken as needed, try increasing the dosage to 10 mg or 20 mg – as long as your doctor approves it, of course. On the contrary, if it's effective enough when taken daily, you might consider lowering the dosage to 2.5 mg a day.

Using a chart created by James Anderson, a behavioral scientist at the RAND Corporation, a piece from the Washington Post argues that energy-efficient driverless cars will disproportionately benefit society over the traditional vehicles we drive today.
Some of these benefits include improved saftey and less congestion, energy consumption, emissions, and land use.
