Former UNC track and field head coach Dennis Craddock was presented the Priceless Gem Award on October 27, 2012 in a ceremony during the football game against NC State. The award is the highest honor given to employees of the UNC Athletic Department is recognizes those who have given a lifetime of service, commitment and passion to Tar Heel athletics.
Craddock headed the track and field and cross country programs at Carolina for 27 seasons, which accrued 45 ACC Championship titles, 51 NCAA Championship performances by 31 Tar Heels, and 23 Olympic appearances accounting for four gold and three bronze medals.
Prior to coming to Carolina, Craddock was the head coach at Virginia from 1976-85. While in Charlottesville, he coached the Cavaliers to back-to-back NCAA Championships in women's cross country in 1981 and 1982 and a women's indoor national title in 1981. The Virginia women's team also won consecutive ACC outdoor titles from 1983-85.
In total Craddock's teams have claimed 45 ACC titles, more than any other coach in any sport in the history of the conference. He was voted the National Coach of the Year in 1995 for men's indoor track and field. Craddock was also elected the ACC Coach of the Year 31 times in his career, 26 of which were during his tenure with the Tar Heels.
Carolina was the first school to win the ACC "Triple Crown" -- first-place finishes in cross country, indoor and outdoor track in the same academic year. Under Craddock, the Tar Heel women have done it twice, first in 1994-95 and again in 2003-04.
Carolina's 20 national individual titles coached under Craddock include: Allen Johnson (1992, 55-meter hurdles); Ken Harnden (1995, 400-meter hurdles); Milton Campbell, Harnden, Tony McCall and Henry McKoy (1995, 4x400); Monique Hennagan (1996, 400 meters and 800 meters); Eric Bishop (1996 and 1997, high jump); Shalane Flanagan (2002 and 2003, cross country; 2003, 3000 meters); Laura Gerraughty (2003, 2004 indoors and outdoors and 2006 shot put); Vikas Gowda (2006, discus); Justin Ryncavage (2006 and 2007, javelin); Brie Felnagle (2007, 1500 meters); and Felnagle, Tyra Johnson, Kaltenbach and Kloss (2007, distance medley relay).
Craddock is a 1965 graduate of Ferrum College, where he played football and was named captain and MVP of the track and field team. After two years at Ferrum, Craddock earned his bachelor's degree at Lynchburg College. He is an inductee in the Ferrum College Sports and Lynchburg College Athletics Halls of Fame.
Craddock and his wife Faye have three children and six grandchildren. Faye also worked in the UNC athletic department before retiring.

I have a chance to buy this ACOG (3.5x35 wi .308 Reticle) at a ridiculously low price but its Mil-Surp and the front and rear glass have mild scratches all over making it pretty hazy. Im not sure it can be a fruitful purchase. Because its mil-surp Im told that if I send it to Trijicon they will confiscate it. Is this true? I dont know what they would charge to service this but is it even serviceable by anyone other than Trijicon?
I was told that some kind of glass polishing business might be able to buff it out. Would Trijicon sell the glass?
Thoughts? Ideas?

Yirrkala kids deliver a new bark petition
Jul 10, 2013 , 4:00 PM by Vicki Kerrigan
There's nothing quite like the honesty of children. It can be both hilarious, sweet and very confronting.
Today in the community of Yirrkala in north east Arnhem land, the 50th anniversary of the Yirrkala bark petition was commemorated.
It was a chance to reflect on the past, some expressed disappointment about the failures of the land rights movement to effect real positive change for Yolngu people but the event today also gave voice to the young people in the community.
Students from Yirrkala school have been learning about the bark petition from 50 years ago and today they presented Prime Minister Kevin Rudd with their own petition. The petition was inside a hollow log painted with the milky way dreaming. The artist responsible is Naminapu Maymuru, and it was her father who painted the outside of the bark petition 50 years ago.
At the ceremony today the children shared some of their dreams with the people of Australia. I urge you to click on the link below and listen to some of the children from Yirrkala school.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
So great to hear from the kids I knew when they were babies. Even more powerful that the legacy of Mr Yunupingu re Bilingual education and fostering equality still is at the fore in Yirrkala. I feel very privileged to have spent 10 years teaching in a place that fosters students of the future and empowered Australians..

By Chris Harris
Aaron Ramsey has described his Olympic call-up as a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity - and he's confident of winning a medal with Great Britain.
The Arsenal midfielder has been named in Stuart Pearce's 18-man squad for the football tournament and will join up with his team-mates at the weekend to begin his preparations for the London Games.
Team GB kick off their campaign against Senegal on July 26 and also face the United Arab Emirates and Uruguay in the group stage. Brazil and Spain are the pre-tournament favourites but Ramsey believes Pearce's team can do well - and he can't wait to get started.
"I'm delighted to be a part of it," he told Arsenal.com. "Playing in the Olympics will be a great experience and I am looking forward to it so much. It's fair to say that this could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"I haven't played under Stuart Pearce before so that is something to look forward to as well. And looking at the squad of players we have I think we have a lot of quality in there. Now we need to work together over the next few weeks and get an understanding of each other. If we do that then I'm sure we can do well, especially with home advantage."
Ramsey is one of five Welshmen in the Great Britain squad with 13 English players completing the picture. Understandably, one name in particular stands out for the Arsenal man.
"It will be a good experience and a different experience to play in the Olympics, being part of a British team and playing alongside some of the English players too," said Ramsey.
"And of course Ryan Giggs will be there too. He retired from international football before I got into the Wales team and he's an absolute icon in Welsh football. He's done it all and most players would like to play alongside him so hopefully I'll get my chance.
"I can certainly learn from him while I'm with the Great Britain squad."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Rabbi Saperstein: "We call on the President and Members of Congress to remember, above all, that this nation is a nation of immigrants, and is in desperate need of compassionate, effective reform."
Contact: Eric Harris or Amelia Viney
202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 12, 2011 -- In response to President Obama's speech this week about immigration reform, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
President Obama's speech in El Paso this week on the issue of immigration reform has drawn renewed attention to the very real problem of our broken immigration system. After years of failed efforts, including legislation to comprehensively overhaul our system or target specific shortcomings, immigration reform remains a vital policy challenge.
The President laid out his vision of the most important parts of comprehensive immigration reform -- promoting family unity; meeting legitimate labor market needs; offering a pathway for undocumented students; and championing a program of earned legalization for those who entered the country illegally. At the same time, we are acutely aware that the President did not issue any executive orders, or set hard deadlines for achievement. His lack of concrete policy prescriptions is disappointing.
We are also encouraged by the re-introduction of the DREAM Act in Congress by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Representatives Howard Berman (D-CA-28) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL-18), following President Obama's address. The DREAM Act, which came so close to passage last year, will provide young people who seek to contribute more fully to America with a path to legalization. We urge Congress to expedite its passage and look forward to seeing the President sign it into law.
Let us ensure that we honor our heritage, ensure our security, and prepare for our future. We call on the President and Members of Congress to remember, above all, that this nation is a nation of immigrants, and is in desperate need of compassionate, effective reform.

Spiced Tonic Syrup by Liber & Co.
- 17 oz. bottle size
- Pairs great with gin
- Create brand new cocktail creations with unique flavor
Liber & Co Spiced Tonic Syrup isn't subtle – they elevate the traditional flavor profile of tonic with fresh botanicals and cracked spices to make it far bolder than typical tonic waters.
Flavor Profile: Real cinchona tree bark from Latin America provides an authentic quinine bite, an exotic blend of South Asian herbs and spices pays homage to tonic's roots in Colonial India, and organic agave nectar balances the flavor for a mildly sweet finish.
Liber & Co brew their Spiced Tonic Syrup as an uncarbonated concentrate. This makes it extend well beyond G & Ts as a general cocktail mixer that provides remarkable depth of flavor.

So while I have time I would like to take my boys on the hunt of a lifetime. We live in Indiana so good diver hunting is hard to come by and well of course sea ducks almost non exsistant. Although a few are shot here every year. My boys are 13 and 11 but don't let that scare you they are natural born killers. When God said, rise Kill and eat, he must of had these two in mind! We are looking to do a three day hunt the first week in January. Any guides or private individuals you could think of please let me Know. Any help would be great!

Donors honored, tours provided during day dedicated to innovative program.
Friday, October 11, 2013
Those were the words of Threshold Program benefactor David Newton, parent of a program alumnus, talking about the renovated and newly dedicated Wilbur House, a 25-student residence hall, and the Maren K. Hitz '85 Threshold Alumni Center. The center is a venue for job-seeking skills development and life planning and an all-in-one safe harbor for 600-plus graduates of the 31-year-old educational program.But really he was talking about the transformation of lives."Jim (Wilbur) and his staff are caring and supportive, but not coddling," Newton said to a crowd of about 300 celebrants at the Oct. 5 Threshold Dedication Luncheon at the McKenna Student Center. Students, alumni, faculty and administrators dined with donors and honored guests and feted Threshold's new look and ongoing work, as well as the dedication of its director, Jim Wilbur.
Founded in 1982 by Lesley professor Dr. Arlyn Roffmann ("She got this whole thing started, and she's still in the game," university President Joe Moore said.), Threshold is the first college-based curriculum in the nation to provide comprehensive vocational and independent-living skills training for highly motivated students who have diverse learning challenges or other special needs. The two-year program also offers an additional "bridge" year for students who seek extra time and training before they enter the work world, often in the city of Cambridge or nearby communities that they've called home during their program. A Transition Year helps many students move into their own apartments with the help of Independent Living Advisors, who visit alumni weekly and work with Threshold's vocational coordinator to support them through the process of seeking paid employment."The rewards we have as faculty and staff are enormous," said Wilbur of the program. "Watching these remarkable young men and women achieve their quest for independence is life-changing for them and their families, and incredibly gratifying for all of us at Threshold and the Lesley community."The generosity of donors Jerre and Nancy Hitz (whose daughter, Maren, is a Threshold alumna) helped fund the newly renovated alumni center that bears their daughter's name, while Wilbur's niece Jenney and her husband, David Gillikin, underwrote the renovations of the residence hall.Other donors were honored during the luncheon, as well, including John and Carol Moriarty, the latter a Lesley alumna (1974) and member of the board of trustees.
While the generosity of benefactors earned hearty applause, the recent Threshold Dedication event focused mainly on the Lesley community's commitment to the students Threshold serves.In his remarks, Newton praised President Moore for getting personally involved as an advocate for Newton's son "Det," now a tennis pro, whose "only regret was he couldn't play in a Division III program" since he wasn't enrolled in a degree-granting program. After falling to Det in a tennis match, however, Moore petitioned the National Collegiate Athletic Association for a waiver, which Det received, helping launch his career as a tennis pro. (Det recently passed a major certification exam, broadening his professional opportunities.)"As is typical of Joe, he gets deeply involved with the Threshold students," Newton said, though Moore quipped that his involvement might owe a bit to his addiction to tennis and basketball.
In his remarks, Moore explained the impetus for the renovations of the Oxford Street buildings as a sign of the respect Lesley affords to Threshold students."How a building looks and how it works really matters," Moore said. "Self-respect is the key to personal development and lifelong learning for all of us."Before and after the luncheon, attendees toured the renovated Maren Hitz Alumni Center and Wilbur House residence hall, fawning over new walls, baths and kitchens, as well as features to make the buildings more accessible to people with disabilities.Other features of the renovations, which cost about $3.6 million, include new meeting space in the alumni center, updated furnishings and upgraded plumbing and heating, and ventilation and air conditioning designed for energy efficiency."What struck me was the pride the students have in the new facility," said benefactor David Gillikin at the luncheon. The successful businessman also joked that Lesley might want to consider franchising the Threshold model.There might already be some interest.Among the visitors touring the updated facilities was a contingent from Israel's Nitzan Center, a facility for children and adults with learning disabilities. Nitzan Executive Director Dr. Maly Danino and her colleagues also visited for a week with Threshold students, faculty and staff as well as Graduate School of Education faculty in the special education program. The visitors were inspired by the Threshold curriculum and its students, and hope to replicate the model in Israel.But this month's celebration was focused closer to home. Threshold student Lauren Hunt also reserved special thanks for Wilbur, saying, "Without him, we would never have such a beautiful dorm." Jerre and Nancy Hitz applauded Threshold for helping Maren succeed as a world traveler (finding her own way through a French airport) and as a professional clerk and receptionist at a medical center. "It just felt so comfortable," said Nancy, describing the day several decades ago when the family traveled from Washington, D.C., to check out the then-new program. Today, the Hitzes are gratified that the center bearing Maren's name will be of aid to Maren's fellow alumni.One of them, Victor DeVaul, called the alumni center a "safe and comforting refuge," as he thanked donors for "supporting the independence of many of us who (came to Lesley) far away from home."

Location: Vegetable ResearchTitle: Insect resistance in traditional and heirloom sweetpotato varieties Author
Submitted to: Journal of Economic Entomology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 2/11/2013
Publication Date: 6/11/2013
Citation: Jackson, D.M., Harrison Jr, H.F. 2013. Insect resistance in traditional and heirloom sweetpotato varieties. Journal of Economic Entomology. 106(3):1456-1462. Interpretive Summary: For any vegetable breeding program, the discovery of new genetic sources of desirable characteristics is essential for the improvement of that crop. Commercial sweetpotato cultivars have little resistance to soil insect pests, which can severely limit marketable yields. Thus, there is a need to develop new varieties that have increased levels of insect resistance. ARS scientists at Charleston, SC, evaluated 59 sweetpotato clones, including insect-susceptible and insect-resistant check cultivars for resistance in replicated field trials. Among the clones evaluated were traditional and heirloom sweetpotato cultivars that were obtained from the USDA, ARS, sweetpotato germplasm collection in Griffin, GA, and other sources. Several of the traditional and heirloom cultivars were more resistant to soil insect pests than were the susceptible check varieties. The most promising of these materials could be used as parental materials in a sweetpotato breeding program focused on improving pest resistance while maintaining yield and quality.
Technical Abstract: Fifty-nine sweetpotato cultivars, including several heirloom and traditional varieties, were evaluated for resistance to soil insects in field experiments during 2010-2011 at the USDA, ARS, U. S. Vegetable Laboratory (USVL), Charleston, SC. These experiments included two insect-susceptible control cultivars ('Beauregard' and 'SC1149-19') and four insect-resistant control cultivars ('Charleston Scarlet','Regal', 'Ruddy', and 'Sumor') developed by the USDA, ARS, USVL, sweetpotato breeding program. These cultivars differed significantly in resistance measured by the percentage of uninjured roots, WDS (Wireworm, Diabrotica, and Systena) index, the percentage of roots damaged by the sweetpotato weevil (Cylas formicarius [Fabricius]), the percentage of roots damaged by the sweetpotato flea beetle (Chaetocnema confinis Crotch), and the percentage of roots damaged by white grub larvae (including Plectris aliena Chapin and Phyllophaga spp.). Forty-one sweetpotato cultivars had a lower percentage of uninjured roots than the susceptible control genotype,'SC1149-19', while 33 varieties had a lower percentage of uninjured roots than 'Beauregard', one of the leading commercial orange-fleshed cultivars in the United States. 'SC1149-19' also had a higher WDS index, and higher percentages of infestation by flea beetles, white grubs, and sweetpotato weevils than most other sweetpotato genotypes in this study. The moderate to high levels of resistance to soil insect pests exhibited by many of these traditional and heirloom cultivars may provide useful sources of germplasm for sweetpotato breeding programs.

This is honestly one of the best shirts that depicts MOTION for all that it's worth. Too bad wootsters haven't caught on to a cool design when they see one. Instead, everyone votes for the cartoon ones that look like they've come out of a little kids book. Not to dis Wootsters, by any means, but I don't think this is the place for graphic designers to succeed... cartoon artists, definitely...

You're welcome. I'd love to see the blue toned version.

Yeah... I realize it now.. the lines were getting tiring (the dotted lines are my second idea) and it was 3am.. I wish I didn't have a concert tonight, i would have worked on it tonight =/ Thanks for the input tho.

I like the fish and the overall feeling of it.
The blank ink would still give it a little bit more depth though... and if you wash it properly, the black could give off some shine from light sources, I believe.
Thanks for all the feedback, yet another tough derby. BRB gonna go cheese
Sorry, lots of typos up yonder ^^^
I would also love to see this in blues, instead of browns! Although, you could keep the blues on the brown shirt?! Or do the blues on Navy and change the color of the wind so there isn't any black (same with color of girl). I think this design rocks though!

I love the idea. Great concept. But some naughty kid in me, deep down inside, wants the image rotated about 90 degress so that the swing's throwing her upwards. :-)
Or maybe that's just how my siblings and I did it when we were kids. :-)
I think you might get rejected due to the no flying penguin rules. Although, I don't know.

I feel like less ink is always superior, but that's just me. Blame it on a couple discussions with Cho, hehe. Anyway, I agree that there might be some added depth from it, but in most cases it doesn't work (look at Nessie...you can't even see the black).
The only reason I said anything is because I like it. ^_^

In its fifth year of partnering with Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, New England Conservatory brings a new twist to its musical contribution to these popular, free outdoor productions on the Boston Common.
In past years, NEC musicians performed free concerts that preceded CSC's performances of Shakespeare plays.
This year, the music is incorporated into the play itself, in keeping with this production's grounding in the entertainment world.
CSC Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler has moved Shakespeare's comedy from its original setting in Milan to Rat Pack–era Las Vegas, "the big city full of temptations where a couple of buddies could have an adventure, where friendship and loyalty would be put to the test."
NEC doctoral candidate Colin Thurmond has assembled a jazz band to perform a set list that includes standards like "Fever" and "Witchcraft."
Colin Thurmond, music director
Evan Allen '13, piano
Henry Fraser '14, bass
Nick Neuberg '14, drums
Jake Novak, trombone
Substitutes (if needed) for bass and drums are Dorsey Bass '13 and Ethan Parcell.

NEC's FREE concerts do not require a ticket, unless stated in concert listing.
Unreserved seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Doors open 30 minutes prior to the concert's start time.

Tractor Safety as Fundamental as a Parachute on a Plane

Unless things have changed that I'm not aware of, the .40 cal. would be a model 96. (90-six)
The frame is made of aluminum.
I'm curious.....what caliber do you carry for summer?
Is the frame made of steel I am interested in getting one in .40 cal for winter carry
Unless things have changed that I'm not aware of, the .40 cal. would be a model 96. (90-six)
The frame is made of aluminum.
I'm curious.....what caliber do you carry for summer?
Well I have alot of different options in different calibers my summer/winter carry is a Glock 29 I'm just looking in getting something new
The 90-two is available in.40 S&W. It has an alloy frame and a steel barrel. I have a "Dash" in 9 mm and IMO it is a great shooter a little large for a carry gun unless you a big guy.
I'm not a huge guy but I can conceal whatever I'm carrying that day, even 1911's are concealed easily. I'm just got interest in the beretta
I Like my PX 4 Sub Compact 40 it's a 3" Easy Carry All Day Long .
Except for a few special, discontinued 92 variants - all 92s have aluminum frames. Sorry.
However, unless you shoot competition, the gun will outlast you. Change the recoil spring every 3500k, and the locking block at 15-20k rounds... You will have that gun at least 40-50,000 rounds... probably longer
I'm a BIG Beretta fan, and have been for years. But, I haven't kept up with the new(er) models coming out. It seems that model #'s don't make all that much sense any more, and since I'm not in a buying mode, haven't gone to the trouble to educate myself on what's out there.
I'm just going by what used to be current and accurate. I was kind of worried that I might have made a slip-up by stating what I did.
The 92 comes in 9mm, however the question was does the 90-two com in .40. The answer in yes there is no 90-six. The 90-two is a different gun from the 92.

Waste Management
1. Integrated solid waste management
UNDP programmes on sound waste management for non-hazardous waste streams are highly decentralized to UNDP Country Offices. Around 20 UNDP Country Offices world-wide are engaged in general, typically municipal, waste related projects or activities.
The majority of such UNDP country level activities support:
- Waste policy and planning at various levels of government covering the entire territory, specific states or municipalities.
- Strengthening of national regulatory frameworks, their implementation and enactment.
- Capacity-building of concerned institutions for ensuring sustainability.
- Private-public partnerships (PPP) on waste management.
Approximately 20-25% of UNDP's waste projects are grass roots activities, involving local communities and NGOs in addressing local needs by applying practical waste management solutions.
2. Reducing UPOPs emissions from uncontrolled waste burning
With GEF grants and in support of the Stockholm Convention, UNDP supports initiatives in the field of non-hazardous waste management that aim to reduce releases of Unintentional Persistent Organic Pollutants (UPOPs). Such emissions result from the uncontrolled and indiscriminate burning of household waste posing significant threats to human and environmental health.
Particularly in countries where large volumes of municipal waste are generated on a daily basis and where sound waste management systems do not exist or are limited, municipal waste is often uncontrollably burned at dump sites and landfills in order to recuperate valuable waste streams (e.g. metals) as well as to compact waste volumes.
To address challenges with respect to waste management and to reduce UPOPS emissions, UNDP provides developing countries and their cities with planning and policy advice as well as technical assistance focusing on UPOPs reduction from uncontrolled burning. As a part of national efforts to establish Integrated Waste Management Strategies, the recuperation, recycling and marketing of valuable waste streams is an integral part.
For more information on UNDP's activities in this area download the brochure: UNDP and the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants or visit the web page Managing Chemicals of Concern (POPs, ODS, heavy metals)
3. Programmes on hazardous waste streams
In addition to the overall support for general waste management, mostly with grants from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), UNDP implements programmes managing a number of hazardous waste streams that are particularly problematic due to their human health and environmental consequences. Such waste streams often concern past environmental liabilities, stockpiles of hazardous waste or highly contaminated sites, but also address obsolete consumer appliances and other special waste streams. In particular UNDP programmes cover:
4. Management of PCB containing waste
In spite of the cessation of production, PCBs continue to be a pollutant of major concern on an international scale. There are a substantial amount of PCBs still in use due to the long lifetime of power equipment, such as transformers, and the exemption made in many countries for their contained use until end-of-life of the equipment.
To ensure that PCBs are managed in a way minimizing human exposure and environmental releases, UNDP supports sizeable PCB management programmes in the following ten countries: Argentina, Brazil, Ghana, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Mexico, Morocco, Slovak Republic and Uruguay.
5. Obsolete Pesticides
UNDP assists countries in the implementation of obsolete pesticides projects through building countries' capacity to soundly manage and dispose of obsolete pesticides. UNDP is currently assisting a handful of countries, including China, Georgia, Honduras, Mauritius, Nicaragua and Vietnam with pesticide waste management initiatives. There are several multi-contaminant projects implemented by UNDP that include important obsolete pesticide components.
6. Healthcare waste management
A partnership between UNDP, the World Health Organization (WHO), and other major donors and stakeholders, is assisting several countries (including Argentina, India, Latvia, Lebanon, Philippines, Senegal and Vietnam, among others) in developing and maintaining best healthcare waste management practices in ways that are both locally appropriate and globally replicable. The programme's ultimate goal is protection of public health at the local level as well as the protecting the global environment from the impacts of dioxin and mercury releases.
The project "Demonstrating and Promoting Best Techniques and Practices for Reducing Health-Care Waste to Avoid Environmental Releases of Dioxins and Mercury" is a partnership between UNDP, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the international NGO Health Care Without Harm, as well as other major donors and stakeholders and is assisting seven countries – Argentina, India, Latvia, Lebanon, Philippines, Senegal and Viet Nam – in developing and sustaining best healthcare waste management practices in ways that are both locally appropriate and globally replicable. In each participating country, the project is developing model hospitals to demonstrate best practices in healthcare waste management.
Here you can watch a video, which highlights the work of the model hospital King George's Medical University in Lucknow, India, their new autoclave technologies and their recycling of sterilized/shredded materials, the management of mercury waste and the non-mercury devices, the model central treatment plant in Chennai with its new autoclave-shredder and the improved pollution control for the incinerator (India requires that certain types of medical waste be incinerated), the new biomedical waste management rules which are being finalized with input from our project, the national training program, and comments by interviewees on the Stockholm Convention and the upcoming mercury treaty.
7. Consumer appliance waste
The rapid growth in the daily usage of various electrical appliances - ranging from mobile phones to computers and white products (washing machines, refrigerators etc.) - has increased both the rate of renewal of computing equipment as well as the volume of equipment that is manufactured globally. Higher volumes and shorter technical life spans have led to large amounts of electric and electronic equipment becoming obsolete.
UNDP is working on these issues from two different angles:
Waste management as a part of introducing more environmental benign consumer appliances.
Old consumer appliances pose a challenge from various perspectives. Such appliances are typically very uneconomic due to high energy use, but also include waste streams that are particularly problematic, such as ozone depleting substances (ODS), mercury, etc. UNDP is working with countries such as Brazil and Ghana, in introducing schemes that support the waste management aspects of obsolete equipment which arise when more environmentally benign appliances are introduced.
Management of e-waste with emphasis on computing equipment.
UNDP is both at the Country Office level, as well as in cooperation with the Basel Convention PACE working group, assessing country-specific situations on electronic and electric waste and developing plans to manage this waste in an environmentally sound manner. This programme has so far been initiated in six countries (Burkina Faso, Egypt, Jordan, El Salvador, Mexico, and Serbia) with rapid acceleration expected due to increasing requests from developing countries to manage such wastes.

Even as President Obama was signing legislation for additional war funding last week, a new report was calling for a "substantial and immediate" increase in Pentagon funding to deal with what it called a "significant and growing gap" between the U.S. military and the challenges it faces.
The report, from an independent commission created by Congress, seems at odds with the views of Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who has warned the Pentagon that reforms there are critical simply to retain the current force structure. He points out that the Pentagon's basic budget has nearly doubled in the last decade.
The Concord Coalition believes that Gates is on the right track. In a new blog posting, Concord Communications Director Steve Winn says that in the short-term, the Pentagon must work hard to find savings and economies where they are possible. In the longer term, military spending will have to be on the table along with everything else as the country figures out how to bring down massive budget deficits.
The controversy over engines for F-35 fighter jets illustrates the reluctance of some members of Congress to cut back on the extravagance of the past. They want two different companies making engines for the F-35. Gates and the White House rightly oppose this as wasteful.

Hello dear conocedores,
I always find this page useful for my camera shopping and it has successfully satisfied my curiosity and doubts until now.
I'm in a bit of a dilema now, I want to go to the next step with my next purchase and buying a good quality cam this time. I've found two very good deals (or so I think). This page has qualified both cameras almost equally good.
My ''needs'' or expectations on buying one of these is, the HD filming can do wonders for me and my short-film needs, and the good quality photographs can help me in the same media centered area.
Here are the two candidates:
I found this one at around 380 dollars
And this one at 230 dollars
So, I'm at a loss here, which one is better? Why? Aaaah!
Hopefully someone could help me (= I will be forever thankful.

I would recommend the Canon as it is a DSLR... if you are serious about your photography then you need to be shooting with a DSLR rather than a compact...
Posted 27 February 2013 - 07:33 PM
Admittedly, I have not tried the Samsung one, but I think you will find you have a lot of control when you use the Canon.

Most of us have clicked on an email that seemed legitimate, but wasn't. Let me give you an example. I previously sought to educate employees about email security by sending a sample of 140 employees a fake phishing email. The results were jaw-dropping.
Seventy-two percent opened the email. Of those, 85 percent clicked on the "malicious" link. Most concerning to me was that 65 percent gave their username and password —and that number would likely have been higher if word didnt get around about the fake email. Each employee who clicked on the malicious link received information about the dangers of malicious emails and how to identify them in the future.
[Phishing: The basics]
I've spoken with hundreds of CIOs and CISOs worldwide, and many of them have impressive email security programs. I've also heard how many of these top organizations are becoming very effective at protecting themselves from the risk of spear-phishing. Below are the top 11 tips I've heard for best technology practices, employee education and social media smarts.
3 ways to stop 95-99 percent of spear-phishing attempts:1. Inbound email sandboxing:
Deploy a solution that checks the safety of an emailed link when a user clicks on it. This protects against a new phishing tactic that I've seen from cybercriminals. Bad guys send a brand new URL in an email to their targets to get through the organization's email security. The other tactic is when they inject malicious code into the website right after delivery of the email URL. This URL will get past any standard spam solution.
2. Real-time analysis and inspection of your web traffic:
First, stop malicious URLs from even getting to your users' corporate inboxes at your gateway. Even if you have inbound email sandboxing for your corporate email, some users might click on a malicious link through a personal email account, like Gmail. In that case, your corporate email spear-phishing protection is unable to see the traffic. Bottom line: your web security gateway needs to be intelligent, analyze content in real time, and be 98 percent effective at stopping malware.
3. Employee behavior:
The human element is incredibly important. Many CSOs that I've spoken with are adopting employee testing programs with Phishme.com (Editor's note: Clark is on the executive board of *PhishMe Inc.), and do this training on-going basis. The result isn't really employee education or security awareness —it's behavior modification. See my five employee behavior tips below.
[Aggressive breed of phishing attacks underway]
5 ways you can modify employee behavior: 1. Pen-test your organization:
Employees are critical to your security success, spear-phishing defense and ability to prevent a data breach. Below are five ways you can turn them into security advocates.
One of the best ways people create new behaviors is by making a mistake and being corrected. It's time to put your black hat on. Select a group of folks from each major department and send them targeted spear-phishing emails using an outside email address. Use only information you can locate on their social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). For example, you see they like a local sports team. Send them information about a local happy hour that supports the team. When they click on the link, inform them that they have been phished and communicate best practices in a positive way.
2. Ask marketing for help:
Start a partnership with marketing to help you communicate to your employees. Your marketing team specializes in communicating to different audiences to get them to take action. It's time to use their skills. Create a communication plan that both teams can execute against and track what methods are the most effective.
3.Change how your message is communicated:
Some people learn visually, others learn audibly and for many, it's a combination of both. Change how your security message is delivered to employees. Start with a monthly email, webinar and Intranet post. Switch it up with in-person trainings and videos. Using these different mediums will help your message resonate with more employees. Remember, you will need to communicate a message multiple times for it to stick.
4. Make security relevant to them:
Just asking employees to watch out for suspicious-looking emails doesn't drive home the urgency of spear-phishing. Rip it from the headlines. When a large company makes headlines for a data breach, because an employee opened an infected email, immediately communicate how something like that could happen to your employee base. It's well-timed, newsworthy and will be on your executives' radar.
5. Reward good behavior:
IT security is known for doom and gloom, but what if you change that perception? Start rewarding your employees for a "Catch of the Day." Start an internal contest that asks employees to forward suspicious emails they receive (both from their personal and work accounts). Pick your "Catch of the Week" every Friday, reward the employee with a $100 gift card to Starbucks, and publicize the spear-phishing attempt for other employees to see.
3 things to never post on the social web
Social networks are gold mines of personal information for cybercriminals, especially for targeted spear-phishing emails. Below are three things I don't recommend IT Security professionals discuss online.
1. Any birthdays/addresses/other items that are used for your network passwords:
Seriously, youd be surprised at what Ive seen.
2.Your vacation schedule and home photos:
It's like an advertisement for when you will be out of town, while doing reconnaissance for the criminals. You may not think you are a target, but cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated.
3. Don't ever post your phone number:
Cybercriminals are getting more creative. We have seen more and more criminals call targeted employees and ask for information. For example, some criminals call and pretend they are from their help desk and need to reset passwords. When in doubt, go with your gut. If something seems off or you don't know the person, ask for their contact information and look into it. Ultimately, its better to be safe than polite.
Spear-phishing isn't going anywhere. As long as people use social networks and email continues to be a key workplace communication channel, spear-phishing will be a weapon of choice for cybercrime. We will continue to see the bad guys evolve and spear phish through new mediums like Twitter, SMS. We must continue to work together as leaders in Infosec to share creative/successful was to protect our organizations.

Published Sept. 30, 2013
Springfield, Ohio — The Wittenberg Series continues with the 2013 Fred R. Leventhal Family Endowed Lecture, featuring a presentation by well-known writer and humorist Dave Barry at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, in Wittenberg University's Pam Evans Smith Arena in the HPER Center, 250 Bill Edwards Drive.
Barry is most widely recognized for his newspaper columns in the Miami Herald, where he worked from 1983-2005. His syndicated humor column was published in more than 500 newspapers around the United States as well as other countries. His topics ranged from politics to objects exploding or bursting into flames, and his work for commentary earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Fittingly, Barry's lecture is titled "The World According to Dave Barry."
Born in Armonk, N.Y., Barry attended Haverford College, where he studied English and wrote for the Haverford News. Barry has written more than 30 books. His novel Big Trouble (1999) inspired the 2002 film of the same name. His most recent works include Lunatics (2012) and Insane City (2013), and his next book, titled You Can Date Boys When You're Forty, is scheduled for publication in March 2014.
A sitcom based on Barry's works, Dave's World, appeared on CBS from 1993-97. Barry has also written numerous children's books with author Ridley Pearson.
Now retired and residing in southern Florida, Barry occasionally writes columns, in addition to his annual gift guides and year in review. He also plays in a band called Rock Bottom Remainders with authors Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom.
Made possible by a gift to Wittenberg University from the Fred R. Leventhal family of Springfield, this endowed Wittenberg Series lecture has welcomed numerous distinguished guests since 1982, including Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter and author David Halberstam; influential financial analyst Malcolm Forbes; Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel; historian Doris Kearns Goodwin; journalist Carl Bernstein; and environmental lawyer and activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In its 31st year, the Wittenberg Series continues to bring distinguished lecturers and performing artists of national and international prominence to the Wittenberg campus and Springfield community. To make special arrangements, reserve a Series poster, or become a friend of the Wittenberg Series, call 937-206-3539 or sent an email to email@example.com.

would this helmet be a good helmet to start with?
would this helmet be a good helmet to start with?
I would email the seller and get someinfo on it first. Most likely this is a Rubies helmet. The photo he used is a stock photo from a catalog, and not the actual product.
Under TDH's Code of Conduct, posting live auctions is not allowed.
Ask for a don post 95 or 96 in the cargo hold, if you want a helmet that looks like that.
I've seen quite a few sellers on ebay that use that photo in their auctions, and every one I've checked out has been a rubies, which looks no where near that good straight out of the box. Pretty deceptive advertising if you ask me.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain insists that Saturday's 5-2 victory over Tottenham can serve as a springboard for a winning run - just as it did last season.
Arsenal's home victory over their local rivals nine months ago proved to be a crucial turning point in the 2011/12 campaign, as the Gunners followed that derby day win with five more straight victories.
And Oxlade-Chamberlain is hoping history can repeat itself this season. "Football is a funny game," he told the matchday programme. "It can often only take one result like this to change confidence and spirit.
"When people are looking at us from the outside, they can't see how hard we are all working every day, and sometimes you can't put your finger on just why it isn't working. But a day like Saturday can give a massive lift to the Club, and spark something.
"You don't know why it picks up but it does," he continued. "One thing we've always been doing though is working hard. The manager is working so hard, putting his faith in us, but lately it hasn't been clicking. Now though hopefully we can push on, starting with the Champions League on Wednesday."
