Environment strategy for the Mediterranean
The Commission outlines the essential features of a coordinated strategy for the Mediterranean basin to protect the marine environment and the coastline of this region and to reduce pollution by 2020. This strategy is based on enhanced cooperation between the countries concerned in the political, financial and technical arenas, and provides for the accomplishment of targeted activities, planned within a common initiative known as "Horizon 2020".
Communication from the Commission of 5 September 2006 entitled: "Establishing an environment strategy for the Mediterranean" [COM(2006) 475 final - Not published in the Official Journal]
The Mediterranean is the largest European sea and is bordered onto by seven Member States of the European Union (EU), two accession countries and more than a dozen third countries.
This grouping around the Mediterranean creates clear interdependence between the countries bordering it. Pollution has a direct impact on neighbouring countries, and natural resources (water, air, soils and biodiversity) are connected in complex ecosystems whose use and conservation are matters affecting every one of the Mediterranean countries.
The Mediterranean environment is fragile and continues to deteriorate in spite of all the efforts made. For several of the countries bordering the Mediterranean, this deterioration costs billions of euros a year. The initiatives and strategies which have been developed over the last thirty years are not being properly implemented, or are not being implemented at all. This situation is due not only to the limited funding available but also the low political priority given to the environment, the lack of inclusive environmental governance, and the limited public awareness of the issues at stake.
Environmental action in the Mediterranean therefore needs to be strengthened by means of a coordinated strategy between the EU and the various countries concerned. This strategy focuses mainly on the Mediterranean countries which are covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia). For their part, EU Member States and the accession countries must apply EU environment legislation.
Objectives of a regional strategy
The regional cooperation strategy for the environment proposed by the Commission is aimed in particular at:
Means of action
To achieve these objectives, the countries concerned will be able to secure financial aid from, inter alia, the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) and the thematic programme Environment and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources including Water, loans from the International Financial Institutions (IFI), contributions from donors, and national resources. The limited scope of the financial resources available means that these funds will be targeted at sites which give most cause for concern and the use of these resources will be coordinated.
Furthermore, political dialogue will be strengthened within the framework of the official structures of meetings for cooperation between the EU and third countries (Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, European Neighbourhood Policy) or at international level (New Partnership for African Development, African Union). The Commission also plans to support the creation of networks of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and contacts between NGOs, and will make sure that all appropriate partners are associated with the development and implementation of the environment policy.
The Commission will also pursue its cooperation with various partners, such as the organisations linked to the 1976 Barcelona Convention for the protection of the Mediterranean environment, with in particular the implementation of the joint Mediterranean Action Plan/European Commission Work Programme signed in 2005. The memoranda of understanding with certain international financial institutions (World Bank, European Investment Bank) will be fully exploited and contacts will be strengthened with other funding providers (Global Environment Facility and Strategic Investment Fund). These links will moreover be boosted by setting up a "Horizon 2020" steering group.
The EU has wide experience in combating pollution and addressing sustainable development, in particular from the LIFE and SMAP programmes and the research framework programmes. This experience will be shared with partner countries, in particular through instruments such as the Tourism Sustainability Group set up by the Commission and TAIEX (Technical Assistance Information Exchange Office), which is now open to countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy.
Horizon 2020 and beyond
In November 2005, at the summit held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership, the leaders present agreed to increase efforts to reduce pollution of the Mediterranean Sea. As a result, the Commission launched "Horizon 2020" which is intended to reduce pollution substantially by 2020. This initiative will be based on existing environmental instruments and will help to fulfil the commitments entered into under the Barcelona Convention. It is accompanied by a proposed timetable for the measures planned.
Horizon 2020 consists of four parts:
Complementary activities will also need to be developed to meet the objectives not covered by Horizon 2020, including, among other things, full implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy action plans, further integration of environmental concerns into the relevant economic sectors, combating global threats such as climate change and biodiversity loss, addressing regional risks (coastal zone management, drought, flooding, etc.), the use of impact and environmental assessments, and the production of indicators.

Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 24 October 2005 "Thematic strategy on the protection and conservation of the marine environment" [COM(2005) 504 final - Not published in the Official Journal].
Council Decision 77/585/EEC of 25 July 1977 concluding the Convention for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution and the Protocol for the prevention of the pollution of the Mediterranean Sea by dumping from ships and aircraft [Official Journal L 240 of 19.9.1977].

should stick with the clix interface, tis wonderfully easy to make go and doesn't need you to take your hands out of your pockets on a cold day.
But hey, nobody goes their own way when the marketing gimps take over the R&D department.
The iRiver Spinn seems to have been forged in the white heat of a fierce row about the merits of a touchscreen vs traditional controls. But rather than come down on one side of the fence or the other, iRiver seems to have ended the argument with a petulant 'fine, we'll have both then!' iRiver Spinn iRiver's Spinn: why have …
I'm a huge fan of Iriver and have been for many years now. I currently have the Iriver CLIX second generation 8gb and I love the player. The issue I have with Iriver at this point is why they aren't upping up the capacity on their players. I mean really they keep maxing out at 8gb. My Clix is almost full and I need more space at least 16gb.
I hear the Spinn just received new 2.0 firmware upgrade. This newfirm ware has some new features that will enhance the player but will not create more space. Iriver 16gb or 32 gb are needed at this point.
The 2.0 firmware will now allow users to take memos or draw with the stylus through the Memo function. The firmware is bundled with the Big Album Art feature that will give a much better view to a user's albums.
The firmware has also enhanced the support for pictures by adding some new picture management tools and the FW that comes with the auto rotate attribute and takes care of other picture files. With support from the new Reservation feature, users can now auto record DMB/DAB/FM Radio.
The firmware has also improved the video and game support of the PMP. While the video feature offers extended video playback options, the game feature addition will allow users to download new games through the iAMOLED website. In addition to this, Spinn's 2.0 firmware also includes advanced searching tools.
The 2.0 firmware is a 3.9 MB file and is available for download now, but only from iRiver's Korean site.

Andy Harris and his party practice a corrosive Republican alchemy, turning innocuous factoids into lies ("Rep. Harris talks data collection, Benghazi and ObamaCare in Bel Air," Jan. 25).
Exhibit A: "The Congressional Budget Office shows the Affordable Care Act will cost 2.3 million jobs!" It's a jobs Benghazi!
Except, for people forced to work only to keep insurance, these aren't "lost jobs."
An older worker couldn't retire because his 57-year-old wife's pre-existing conditions made getting her own policy impossible. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, that guy can retire, because his wife can now afford insurance until she reaches Medicare age. He's finally able to enjoy the fruits of his working life without abandoning his wife's well-being. That's not a "loss," Mr. Harris, that's the rewards of love and hard work.
A worker delays leaving her job to start a new business because her family can't go without her employer's insurance. "Obamacare" makes health insurance affordable; so the odds improve slightly for the gamble of starting her own business. That's a new business — something Rep. Harris and his Republican party claim to support.
Consider parents who, since the ACA, have coverage with no annual or lifetime caps for their seriously ill child. Both worked long hours to afford critical medical coverage; now one or both may reduce their hours and be home for their kids. That's not unemployment; it's a dream come true for workers with a seriously ill kid.
The ACA always predicted that some people willingly would reduce their workload. It's been described and anticipated by the Congressional Budget Office. It is happening as predicted. Obamacare is much appreciated by those in this situation. That is what makes the "lost jobs" issue a lie every time the Republicans and Mr. Harris raise it.

[Note: This post originally ran during the first Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories in December, 2007]
I am an admitted and open, gingerbread cookie freak. And this is a family tradition that I started on my own about 15 years ago. We never made gingerbead when I was growing up, and looking back, that surprises me. Gingerbread and Christmas just seem to go together naturally.
In fact, I won't even make gingerbread cookies after Valentine's Day and before September - it just ain't fittin! I've made great gingerbread for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and Valentines Day because the flavor to me is so tied in to the cooler weather.
The recipe uses not just ginger but cloves, cinnamon and, of all things, black pepper. They have a great zing. Add royal icing that has a strong lemon flavor and the ensuing taste is unbelievable. But to me the fun part is decorating. I have a list of cookie decorating tips on my recipe blog And I Helped! but a few are listed below:
I cover my dining room table, after having added both leaves, with plastic film. I purchase the large kitchen service type roll. Then lay out the cookies. When the cookies are done drying, cleanup is easy and there is no old tablecloth to shake outside and wash later.
Large cutters not only make the decorating easier (sort of the "Reader's Digest large type" edition of cookies!) but makes a substantial stocking stuffer especially for people like your postman/woman, hairdresser, etc. It also helps that I use large (4" x 8") cellophane bags, the kind a florist would use for a corsage, for packaging. It lends that final "finished" touch.
I used to decorate in different colors, but lately I've been using the poor man's pastry bag method: take a one gallon plastic storage bag with some type of zipping closure, place white royal icing in it. Then pinch a tiny hole in one corner with scissors but not too big - you can enlarge it if you need to after testing. This is a great method for outlining shapes but I use it for "zig-zagging" snow on my large Christmas tree cookies.
Finally, the decorations, sprinkles etc. I got so frustrated last year in seeing empty shelves in the baking aisle of my supermarket and the fact that they are so expensive that I tried something different this year. I ordered large 3 lb containers of decors from Amazon's grocery division. The key is to buy them out of season like in July - the normal price is about $25 put I was able to snag a few at between $9 and $11 with free shipping and no sales tax.
Mom taught me some tricks to save some pennies. She didn't raise any stupid children. Just one ugly one and he's still at home.

"Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley is rightfully sucking the joint bank account dry ... we've learned he's getting the lion's share of loot in his divorce from Torrey DeVitto ... a divorce that is now final.
Turns out Paul and Torrey -- who also appeared on the show -- signed a prenup -- obtained by TMZ -- that keeps all their earnings separate ... and he made WAY more than her. On top of that, the prenup provides he gets all the money he fronted for the purchase of their home -- $730,593 -- and she gets what she put in -- a measly $10K.
They were certainly into motor vehicles. He gets to keep the Prius, the Triumph Bonneville chopper and an Audi Q5. She gets an Audi A4.
The couple married back in April 2011 and separated in July. They have no children together.
So who's the sucker now?

The British Olympic organizers restricted ticket purchases, rewarded corporate purchases but not corporate use, imposed price controls on tickets available to the public and state violence against the resulting scalpers (touts) — and are distraught and surprised over the empty seats that characterize so many of the Olympic events so far. To reduce the embarrassment and sense of scandal, organizers have carted in British troops–dressed in their camo!–to fill seats at gymnastics events, while other easily manipulated, low-time-cost groups on the government's payroll are also being bussed in to other sparsely-attended venues.
Meanwhile, many thousands willing to pay market prices to attend Olympic events are told to bugger off.
The Olympics are essentially mercantile events in which planning takes place outside of market forces so as to achieve outcomes preferred not by consumers but by states. (Peter Hitchens argues here that this trend started with the 1936 Olympics in Berlin when Hitler and Goebbels transformed them into "grandiose and torch-lit" spectacles.) Regardless, the events in London are demonstrating once again what an LSE economist in the 1930s said about economics–that its "curious task" was "to demonstrate to men how little they know about what they imagine they can design." Why did Sebastian Coe and his team think they could effect a better outcome than what would result from the price system? These are practical men, but even Keynes might admit that they are probably slaves of some defunct and incorrect economist.

Did you know that more than a dozen mammal species either live in the Arboretum or have been spotted here?
Many of these animals are secretive, so you may need to be quiet (and lucky!) to catch a glimpse of them. Also, many mammals are either nocturnal (active at night) or crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk), so plan an early morning visit for the best chance of a sighting.

TRIED AND TESTED | Nude Skincare Advanced Cellular Renewal Serum
I'VE HAD a bottle of this stuff on my bathroom shelf for quite a while, and I've been using it regularly. The texture is slightly watery. The color is opaque white. It has a slight fragrance, almost like powdery clean laundry. It's a bit slippy and feels nice going on although I needed a bit extra. It sinks it pretty rapidly and, unlike some other serums, doesn't leave a sticky film.
"With the highest concentration of Probiotic Technology in the NUDE range, this breakthrough serum uses three bio-available technologies proven to help the skin repair itself.
NUDE's Advanced Probiotic Technology repairs cellular damage and corrects ageing.
Clinically proven to:
• 70% increase in cellular renewal
• 50% reduction in cellular damage
• 35% decrease in irritation
Powerful Bioactive Peptides help stimulate Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Fibronectin production, restructuring the cellular matrix to firm the skin and reduce the depth of wrinkles.
NUDE has created a unique three way system to optimise Hyaluronic Acid within the skin
• A concentrated dose of Hyaluronic Acid instantly plumps and smoothes
• Bioactive Peptides boost natural synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid"
For someone with perennially dehydrated skin the recommended dosage of 3 to 4 drops wasn't enough. I needed about double that to cover my face, neck and decolletage.
Well, I think I started using it at the wrong time. My skin is schizophrenic during the winter. It flakes off. It peels. It turns red. It gets inflamed.
If I didn't know this post was about the state of my complexion, I'd think someone was describing the symptoms of an uncomfortable STD.
It's what winter does to MY FACE.
So I'm sad to say I didn't see much of a difference in my skin. If anything, I seemed to have slightly heightened irritation in the places that my skin flares up during the winter (forehead, around the temples and cheekbones in a C-shape around my eye). But, then again, only very few things do work on my skin during the winter. Very. Few. And one of them is a triple-antibiotic cream.
From the sound of the other reviews, if you don't have problem skin like mine, it's a pretty brilliant product. My skin is fickle.
I'm going to save the second half of the bottle and give it a go when the temperature rises above 45 and the air's not bone dry.
Erm, I'm not comfortable saying... okay, okay. For me, right now, it's not a must-have. But I really really want it to be someday. Just not today.

Violence in DeKalb, particularly around the Northern Illinois University campus, is happening with increased frequency.
I lived near campus for five years and have attended NIU for nearly six. I've witnessed a sort of transformation in the culture at NIU. On the weekends, students who once worried only about the threat of a serious hangover now may think twice about going out in certain areas.
It's time for a cohesive, visible initiative to address this problem.
The NIU community maintains a delicate balance between full-time residents, students, people who work in DeKalb and others. At this point, the balance has tilted too far away from a dynamic college town to a community dominated by violence and fear.
Local agencies (particularly the NIU Police Department, which employs more than 40 sworn officers) should develop an aggressive campaign against violence. The purpose of this initiative should be to emphasize that violent behavior isn't tolerated in this community.
Numerous cities have undertaken community campaigns that target violent behavior. Research at the university level gives some insight into what elements might be most effective.
One example comes from a University of Wisconsin-Madison professor who developed a strategy called "problem-oriented policing." It focuses on similar incidents with characteristics that are related.
Another example is "The Weed and Seed Strategy," an initiative developed by the Community Capacity Development Office that involved multiple agencies in crime prevention and related activities.
There are many examples and templates that could be used for developing a program in this community.
The campaign, if it has a chance at being successful, should do several things:
• It should address everyone in the community, not just violent offenders. Violence is a community problem that affects more than the aggressors and their victims.
• The campaign should also be aggressive. At this point, the violence is getting worse because the appearance of idleness and lack of control is so prevalent. Violent behavior is occurring more often. This will continue if there is no apparent defense.
• Exposure is also key. Almost as important as a strong strategy, is a presence that cannot be ignored. Give would-be troublemakers reason to think twice about moving to DeKalb. Remind those already here of the consequences of their idiotic actions.
With any major action, there is a risk of failure. When goals are set, there exists the chance they won't be met. In this case, however, the bigger risk is that troublemakers will develop a sense of being able to get away with crime.
An aggressive campaign against violence should, at the very least, make it clear violent, antisocial behavior is not welcome in DeKalb.
At the very most, it will make the city feel safer for residents who want to live in a safe and prosperous community.

My wife and I went to the game yesterday ... and you could sense the collective frustration in the stadium starting to build as soon as Miller's TD catch was called back. I knew right away it was going to be one of those maddening games where we just couldn't get anything to go our way. Thankfully, our defense played well and kept it close and we got some RW magic in the end. And I was really bummed they didn't let Russell try to throw for a TD to break Manning's record - why not let him try for it??
I have three big concerns heading into Washington:
1. PASS RUSH. Credit to the Rams for doing a great job protecting yesterday, but the lack of pressure -- at home -- was unbelievable yesterday. This spells certain doom for us in the playoffs facing the likes of RGIII, Matt Ryan, etc. My only hope is they are saving some blitz looks for the post-season. As many have pointed out, we are suffering when we have Bryant and Branch in at the same time. I understand they want to limit the big plays, but the pass rush outside of Green Bay in the 1st half this season has not been good. If we can't make a QB uncomfortable in the pocket in our house with our home crowd advantage, how are we going to do it in enemy environments? We need to seriously refocus/upgrade our pass rush approach.
2. STOPPING MORRIS. RGIII gets all the press, but the guy I'm way more scared of is Morris. Our run defense has been kind of spotty, and I hope they expend a lot of energy preparing for Morris - he is a great back.
3. SIDNEY RICE's HEALTH. How hurt is Sidney? He has disappeared from the offense - only one target yesterday. I know he has been slowed with foot and knee issues - are they just taking it easy on him? We need him to be a stud.
I'm also concerned with the pass protection as well, especially with as much as Washington likes to blitz - but I think we can take advantage of it if they bring the heat.
Anyways, I expected a tough game - the Rams are a good team and with some upgrades on offense, they are going to be in the thick of it with us and the 49ers for the foreseeable future. The Rams have 2 first-round picks in 2013 and 2014 as part of the windfall they acquired from the Skins, so Seahawks fans better put the lid on the "Rams suck" thoughts as those days are gone.

...corrrrr blimey, where did this week go to??? One minute it is Monday and the new Compendium of Curiosities challenge is announced and then the next minute it is Friday night already!!! Admittedly, it has been a "busy" week what with the drive and other things I have been up to... which I will tell you about in a mo - but first, the new Compendium challenge (well, not so new but you know what I mean 'Arry) Hosted and devised by lovely Linda Ledbetter, all the deets are HERE on Linda's blog - which is well worth a hop across to because not only is there candy for one lucky entrant, Linda also makes some mightily scrumptious art too!
So, in keeping with the challenge, I shalln't say how I did the technique... that is all on Page 48 of the Compendium of Curiosities book... however, I will just admit this; well... you know that I have made a tag for each weeks entry and this week is no different apart from... I forgot... to put any stamping on it!!! I know!!! I didn't even use my little diamondy harlequin stamp that is on absolutely everything I make!!!
I am not sure if this tag will actually qualify for the challenge this week... but hey! I will enter it anyway... cos I did rather enjoy making it :O)) I made a Valentine tag a few weeks ago using some of the element from the Duke of Distress' 12 Tags... and I just expanded a bit more for this one. The painted metal parts are the numerals (although I do keep wanting to call them letters LOL), the crown, the heart, the brads and the wings. Check out the ickle postcard!!! with a "lurve train" which I snipped from the Seasonal Paper Stash, mounted onto mountboard and then bunged a Memo Pin onto it. And, naturally, this is very appropriate cos I used to drive trains and... of course, they were filled with lurve ROFL
In my excitement to waffle on alarmingly about the drive yesterday, I clean forgot to tell you what we got up to on Thursday!!! Did you see that little reference in the first paragraph?? You know what I mean 'Arry? Well, it just so happens that we went to the BBC to see Harry Hill's TV Burp being recorded... tis the show which is on this evening no less... and it was absolutely hil-ar-ious! We had to get into the queue early because it is an over-subscribed show so poor old Grim did have nearly two hours of me whinging and moaning about my feet and my back... and I did have to do a heck of a lot of fidgeting and naturally, a bit more whinging thrown in for goodly measures... but it was worth the wait. Anyways... if you get chance, watch the show tonight, 7pm on ITV1... there is a special guest who I was absolutely over the moon excited to see!!! Seriously, well worth watching... just so you can see him... if you know what I mean... 'Arry ;o))
Ooooh, and more excitement abounds in the Room of Stashly Anticipations... it is now only 12 days until Ellen arrives at the Room of Stash!!! And... I am going to be lurking around the Artistic Stamper stand at Stamperama tomorrow... I will be fiddling about with all things waxy... (ooh, that sounds rude LOL) oh yes, finally, another little smidget of news... I am ...erm... going to see... some bloke called Tim... on some class called Artsy Crafts... (try and picture how insanely controlled I am trying to be at this very moment ROFL) Anyways... that is all the news for now.. oh and yes, tomorrow on the Sunday Stamper I have a rather lovely piece of candy to giveaway... oooh, yesh indeedily!! Right... gotta dash, I have some sausages to sizzle for breakfast!! Thanks for looking... TTFN

Learning Proprioceptive Properties
One of the hallmarks in human object perception is our ability to use a wide variety of sensory modalities. In contrast, most robots today rely almost exclusively on vision and/or 3D laser scan data for solving perception tasks. Many object properties (e.g., weight, material type, etc) cannot always be detected using vision alone - for example, visual feedback will not allow a robot to tell the difference between a full and empty bottles that otherwise look the same.
To address these types of problems, Jivko Sinapov from the Developmental Robotics Laboratory at Iowa State explored how proprioceptive sensory feedback, in the form of detected joint motor efforts, can be used by the PR2 for object perception. To use proprioception, the PR2 performed object exploratory behaviors such as lifting, unsupported holding, and sliding an object across the table. The robot learned a recognition model to detect whether an object (e.g., a bottle) is full or empty using features extracted from the joint efforts produced by the robot's behavior on the object. The robot was able to recognize whether a bottle is full or empty by lifting it from a tabletop, as well as by simply holding it in place.
These recognition models were tested with several different tasks. In one task, the PR2 had to solve a sorting task in which only empty bottles are cleared off a table. In another task, the PR2 had to estimate the weight of bottles. A third task -- sliding boxes across a table -- tested how quickly new recognition models could be learned. With minimal training experience (10-20 minutes), the robot was able to learn an accurate model for distinguishing between full and empty boxes.
For more information, please see Jivko's slides below (download pdf) or checkout the proprioception package on ROS.org.

This is touching and heartbreaking at the same time. #20 melted my heart.
1. Who you are now is not who you will be in 10 years. It is okay to be somebody new 10 minutes from now. We are always learning. We are always growing. If you realized 10 seconds ago that you don't like who you are, shed your skin, retry, replant yourself in good soil.
2. Cleaning is instant therapy. When your brain is muddy, take a shower, wash your hands, change your clothes. Spend 15 minutes straightening your living room. When you are angry, scrub things. I know it's crazy but it works instantly.
3. Forgive someone's debt if it's under 50 dollars, forgive the small things, give a little time to yourself and forgive the big things too. Forgiveness isn't about the other person, it's about you. That being said – if someone ever hurts you in a way that would make me cry to know, you get out of there, my love. You just get up and go.
4. Gum karma is real and if you spit out a piece in public expect to find some on your shoe in the future. Same goes for insults and harsh judgement, too.
5. Do what you love and the money will follow.
6. Live your life with an open palm and give as much as you can and as often. At some point in your life, someone will lend you 50 bucks when you're down on your luck. Remember how that feels. Remember to give that back.
7. Always wear clean underwear. You'll thank me later.
8. There is a difference between being kind and being passive and there are those who cannot see that difference. They will try to walk all over you. Never bend your knees for those who do.
9. Have faith. Have faith in god or people or yourself or science or in luck or in all of the above. Faith is what keeps us going, faith is what keeps us strong.
10. Pay your bills on time whenever you can, although money is nothing. Remind yourself that.
11. Do not forget you were once ignorant of all you know now. Be patient of anyone who hasn't had the education you have. Speak at the level of the person you are with – it's not playing dumb, it's being considerate. There's no reason to make them feel uncomfortable. Plus then when someone starts going off about their superior IQ, you can cut them to pieces and watch their face when you do.
12. You are the best person in the room for one particular thing, and that's confidence. You are the worst person in the room for another thing, and that's humility. Use both carefully.
13. Never make fun of someone's beliefs or superstitions, let your kid keep their imaginary friend and let your best buddy believe in knocking on wood. We all have security blankets. Don't take away someone else's.
14. Try to learn something new every day.
15. The worse you look, the more likely you are to run into someone you know so instead of feeling awkward, learn to be confident in sweats while talking to your friends.
16. Never go to bed angry, it will ruin your sleep and make tomorrow even harder. Find a way to relax. Don't let today get to your head.
17. Think before you speak. When someone says something, mull over their words before answering. This is called listening, it is different than hearing.
18. What keeps love beautiful is that there's risk involved. If he breaks your heart and it doesn't hurt, it wasn't love in the first place.
19. Never let someone else determine who you are or how happy. You are too strong to be torn apart.
20. I love you, even when we are fighting, even when I am fast asleep. Don't doubt it for an instant. You are my everything.

Policy Governing the Use of Computing and Network Resources
Mission Statement
To support the missions of teaching, research, and public service, Saint Joseph's University provides access to computing and information resources for students, faculty, and staff, within institutional priorities and financial capabilities.
General Requirements
All members of the University community who use the University's computing and information resources must do so responsibly. Every user is responsible for the integrity of these resources. All users of University-owned or University-leased computing systems must respect the rights of other computing users, respect the integrity of the physical facilities and controls, and respect all pertinent licenses and contractual agreements. It is the policy of Saint Joseph's University that all members of its community act in accordance with these responsibilities, relevant laws and contractual obligations, and in the highest standard of ethics.
Computing facilities and accounts are owned by the University and are to be used for the University-related activities for which they are assigned. University computing resources are not to be used for commercial purposes or non-University-related activities without written authorization from the University. In these cases, the University may require payment of appropriate fees. This policy applies equally to all University-owned or University-leased computers.
The University reserves the rights to limit, restrict, or extend computing privileges and access to its information resources. Data owners–whether departments, units, faculty, students, guests or staff–may allow individuals other than University faculty, staff, and students access to information for which they are responsible, so long as such access does not violate any license or contractual agreement; University policy; or any federal, state, county, or local law or ordinance.
Users and system administrators must guard against abuses that disrupt or threaten the viability of all systems, including those at the University and those on networks to which the University's systems are connected. Access to information resources without proper authorization from the data owner, unauthorized use of University computing facilities, continued overuse of resources that degrades system performance, and intentional corruption or misuse of information resources are direct violations of the University's standards for conduct as outlined in the Saint Joseph's University Policy Manual, the Personnel Policies and Procedures for Professional and Salaried Staff, the Faculty Handbook, and the Official Student Handbook and may also be considered civil or criminal offenses.
Saint Joseph's University treats policy violations of computing facilities, equipment, software, information resources, networks, or privileges seriously. Disciplinary action is described in the section Penalties for Misuse of Computing and Information Resource Privileges.
System Administrator Responsibilities
- Maintain size limits on user file systems and incoming email systems. These limits will change from time to time.
- Detect weak passwords and contact users to change them to a stronger password.
- Scan the network file systems for viruses and remove them. Notify users who repeatedly have viruses in their file space.
- Investigate reports of problems caused by users on Saint Joseph 's network to internal or external computers or networks.
User Responsibilities
If you or your guest use the University's computing resources or facilities, you have the following responsibilities in addition to those described in the preceding sections:
- Use only those computer services, networks and accounts which the University has authorized for your access.
- Use accounts only for the purpose(s) for which they have been issued.
- Be responsible for all use of your accounts and for protecting each account's password. Users are not allowed to divulge computer account passwords. Passwords should consist of a mix of 7 or 8 alphanumeric characters, and should be changed frequently throughout each semester of use. Do not use easily identifiable personal information such as names, telephone numbers, birth dates, etc.
- Immediately report unauthorized use of your accounts to the Office of Information Technology.
- University communications systems (electronic mail, electronic messaging, and similar services) may not be used for unlawful purposes or purposes that violate other University policies. The latter include, but are not limited to, sexual or other forms of harassment. Electronic communication may not be used for commercial purposes except under the direction of the University.
- Ensure that all software that you use is properly licensed. Do not use or share unlicensed software including computer programs, music files and other digital media. The unauthorized sharing of music files and other digital media is a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and you are potentially liable for damages. Take reasonable and appropriate steps to see that all hardware and software license agreements are faithfully executed on any system, network, or server that you operate.
- Cooperate with system administrator requests for information about computing activities. Under certain unusual circumstances, a system administrator is authorized to access your computer files.
- You are held responsible for the actions of your guest(s). Violations of computing resource policy committed by any guest will be attributed to that guest's sponsor.
- You are responsible for making backup copies of your documents and personal software.
- The use of electronic mail is to be treated as the use of postal services. Email messages are to be opened and read by the user to whom they are addressed. Do not attempt to read, delete or otherwise tamper with email addressed to another user. Do not attempt to distort or forge the "address" information of email messages. Do not send harassing or offensive email.
- You may not attempt to gain control of any files or computers without the prior consent of the "owner" of those files. The system administrator does not give consent for users to attempt to gain control of any network servers, routers, or switches. The system administrator does not give consent for users to "look around" the file systems on any server.
If you are a project director for a group of computing users, a supervisor whose staff use computers, or a faculty member whose students use computers, you must help your project members, staff or students learn more about ethical computing practices and promote good computing practices and data management.
As an aid to a better understanding of responsible computing practices, all departments that own or lease computing equipment are encouraged to develop "Conditions Of Use" documentation for all systems that they operate and to make these "Conditions Of Use" documents available to users. These documents should be consistent with the policies and procedures set forth by the Office of Information Technology (for example, the Policy Governing Computing and Network Resouces at Saint Joseph's University ) and should be approved by the department's administrative officer or other individual designated by that administrative officer.
The University is not responsible for loss of information from computing misuse, malfunction of computing hardware or software, external contamination of data or programs. The staff in Information Technology units such as Network Services and all other system administrators must make every effort to ensure the integrity of the University's computer systems and the information stored thereon. However, users must be aware that no security or back-up system is 100 percent foolproof.
Penalties for Misuse of Computing and Information Resource Privileges
Abuse of computing resources is subject to disciplinary action. If the Office of Information Technology has a sufficiency of evidence to indicate that intentional or malicious misuse of computing resources has occurred, and if that evidence points to the computing activities or the computer files of an individual, any or all of the following steps will be pursued to protect the user community:
- Notify the user's project director, instructor, academic advisor, or administrative officer of the investigation.
- Refer the matter for processing through the University's judicial system.
- Suspend or restrict the user's computing privileges during the investigation, including inspecting that user's files, diskettes, and/or tapes. Disciplinary action may include the loss of computing privileges and other disciplinary sanctions up to and including non-reappointment, discharge, dismissal, and legal action. In some cases, an abuser of the University's computing resources may also be liable for civil or criminal prosecution under Title 18 PA C.S. @5742 (1990), or other appropriate legislation.
It should be understood that nothing in this policy precludes enforcement under the laws and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, any municipality or county therein, and/or the United States of America.
All computer users are urged to become familiar with the University Policy of Academic Honesty as it pertains to the use and abuse of University computer resources, as well as the Policy Governing the Computing and Network Resources at Saint Joseph's University. Any observed violations of these policies must be reported to the appropriate administrative officers and to the Office of Information Technology.
Use of Unlicensed Software
All software installed on the University's computer systems must be properly licensed, either by the University, or by the individual user. The University will monitor its computer systems to ensure that unlicensed software is not installed on its computers. Individuals who install software on their office computers must keep records to show that this software is properly licensed, and they must inform Information Technology that the software has been installed.

Oceanside ? For 71 years, the city of Oceanside and its next door neighbor, the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, have had a close and mutually beneficial relationship.
To thank its military neighbor to the north, the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce Foundation held its third annual Enlisted Recognition Dinner on Feb. 22. The gala allows Oceanside?s business community to pay tribute to the base?s top marines and sailors, as well as their wives.
More than 150 attended the dinner at the El Camino Country Club. The honorees and their guests were treated to dinner and received plaques, certificates and other gifts.
The evening?s festivities included a speech by Brigadier General Vincent A. Coglianese, who is commanding general for Marine Corps Installations West and commander of Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. And City Councilmembers Jack Feller and Farrah Douglas were in attendance. But the true stars of the night were the men and women who were honored. This included 17 military service members and three spouses.
Honorees were Cpl. Andrew M. Bierach, named Noncommissioned Officer of the Year; Cpl. Brandon E. Wayne, Marine of the Quarter; Sgt. Jose Nunez, Noncommisioned Officer of the Year; Sgt. Maxmillion Page, Noncommisioned Officer of the Year; Cpl. Tessa R. Sisk, Marine of the Year; Sgt. Delando A. Bradford, Noncommissioned Officer of the Year; HM2 Aimee J. Granger, Sailor of the Year; Sgt. James M. Armstrong, Noncommissioned Officer of the Year; HM2 Aaron R. Belcher, Junior Sailor of the Year; HM1 Aaron L. Giacoletti, Sailor of the Year; Sgt. Juan C. Moreno, Noncommissioned Officer of the Year; HN Thomas B. Arnold, Blue Jacket of the Year; YN3 Damien S. Harper, Junior Sailor of the Year; BM3 Siera Q. Coffee, Junior Sailor of the Year; Lance Cpl. Nydia Garcia, Marine of the Quarter; Cpl. Bilma J. Diaz, Noncommissioned Officer of the Year.
There were also three finalists for the Spouse of the Year Award: Sarah Luckert, Trish Jones and 1st Sgt. Stacie Black. The winner, Luckert, received a diamond necklace, and all three women received gift baskets from USA Discounters.
The gala was organized by event emcee Chip Dykes, who is chair of the chamber?s Military Affairs Committee, and David L. Nydegger, president and CEO of the chamber.
The event?s co-sponsors were Pacific Marine Credit Union and Navy Federal Credit Union. Table sponsors included Tri-City Medical Center, Mossy Nissan Oceanside, Southern California Edison, Nitto Denko Hydranautics, San Diego Gas & Electric, Waste Management of North County and Pioneer Services.
More than $6,5000 was netted at the event. Proceeds will go toward several military-themed events the Chamber hosts throughout the year, including Operation Appreciation and Golf with a Hero, as well as educational scholarships and classroom grants, according to Kristi Hawthorne, event coordinator for the chamber.

Industry leader will also offer job and business opportunities to veterans
When Chris Jacobs took office as Erie County Clerk last year, he inherited a veterans program in name only. The discount program had but 27 participating businesses and very few veterans were issued the complimentary card.
"I pledged to make this program a real benefit to the over 60,000 veterans in Erie County and vowed to have 250 businesses signed-on by the end of my first term in office," Jacobs said. He has doubled his goal, recently hitting the 500th mark of participating Erie County businesses offering discounts to enrolled veterans.
The "Thank-A-Vet" program's newest participating merchant is also the 500th business Jacobs has lured to offer service discounts, as well as possible job and business opportunities. Fantastic Sams is one of the country's largest hair salon franchises and offers an industry-leading business model to those interested in a new career, including veterans.
"Fantastic Sams Hair Salons are proud to support our local veterans and are pleased to partner with the Clerk's 'Thank-A-Vet' program by offering discounts on haircuts, color, styles, and products for military men and women as a thank you for defending our freedom," said Ellen Levine, Fantastic Sams WNY market manager. "All area salons are independently owned and operated by local franchisees who have extended discounts to active, retired, and reserve personnel in all branches of the U.S. armed forces."
"For veterans looking for business or entrepreneurial opportunities, the national office also offers franchise sales incentives to those who purchase Fantastic Sams Hair Salons. We are honored to offer this incentive for our veterans' service, dedication, and commitment to our country," Levine said.
Levine invites veterans to read additional information about Western New York's 18 Fantastic Sams Hair Salons at www.buffalo.FantasticSams.com.
To show his added appreciation to all "Thank-A-Vet" participants, local franchise owner Mike Baer will offer a 20 percent discount at his four area Fantastic Sams Hair Salons and extend his generous discount to area police and firefighters.
"My father and both grandfathers proudly served our country and fought to protect the freedoms we all enjoy today," Baer said. "The sacrifices made by them and all our veterans afforded me the opportunity to open my own business, and I am truly grateful."
"Raising awareness of this program in the business and veteran communities has been a major mission of my administration," Jacobs said. "We view the opportunity to provide this benefit to veterans as a great honor." Jacobs has partnered with nearly every local Chamber of Commerce around the county to spread the word to the business community and has conducted numerous outreach events throughout Erie County in order to make the program accessible for veterans to receive the discount card.
The Erie County Clerk's Office is charged by state law to keep an original copy of military discharge papers of Erie County veterans. "The Clerk's 'Thank-A-Vet' Discount Card Program is a way to encourage veterans to place a copy of their discharge papers on file in our office, while receiving discounts on everything from a cup of coffee to home appliances," said Jacobs.
The free discount card is available to any honorably discharged Erie County veteran by coming to the Clerk's Office located in Old County Hall, 92 Franklin St., Buffalo. Veterans must bring their original discharge papers with them so that they can be scanned and placed on permanent record.
For complete information on the "Thank-A-Vet" Discount Card Program or to enroll as a participating merchant, call 716-858-4737 or visit www.erie.gov/clerk/thankavet.

Release Date: November 14, 2011
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Rick Perry's failure to retrieve the name of one of the federal agencies he would abolish if elected president, namely the Department of Energy, was most likely an example of a very common phenomenon called "Tip of the Tongue" phenomenon or "TOT," says a University at Buffalo psycholinguist.
"TOT occurs when we know the meaning of the word or words we want to retrieve but are unable to access their sounds," says Gail Mauner, PhD, associate professor in the UB Departments of Psychology and Linguistics.
She says that often, when we are in a TOT state, we have partial access to the form aspects of a word or phrase -- that is, we might be able to say what the first letter is or how many syllables it has but are not able to retrieve the entire word.
"It is important to remember that TOT states are typically not a measure of intelligence. Nor are should they be taken as evidence of a lack of knowledge," she says, noting that Rick Perry, as a governor of Texas, is likely to be quite knowledgeable about the Department of Energy.
"TOT states are more common for words that are infrequent -- like 'pulchritude' and 'protractor' -- and for proper names like 'Romaine Brooks' or 'Albert Brooks.' In fact," she says, "the majority of naturally occurring TOT states are linked to proper names and the likelihood of finding oneself in such a state increases as we get older."
TOT occurs for words that are not produced very often and for proper names because of how words are represented in the brain, she says.
"There is a lot of experimental evidence showing that when we produce a word, we first retrieve (or activate) its meaning, and then we retrieve or activate its sounds, then put them in the appropriate order to produce the word. So it is not at all surprising that one could know the meaning of what one wants to say without being able to retrieve the sounds for the word or words," she says.
When a word is not produced very frequently, Mauner says, the connections between its meaning and its sounds may be weak. Because the word is not highly practiced, these connections can be easily interfered with by residual activation from sounds that have been recently produced in other words.
"It takes a bit of time for the activation of a meaning or sound to decay," Mauner says, "which is why prior production of words with overlaps in speech sounds helps reduce the likelihood of TOT states for low-frequency words.
"The activation of the sounds of the previously produced word help in increasing the activation of the intended speech target," she says, "but activation of meanings that are similar to the meaning of the intended word or phrase can also activate speech sounds that might become more accessible than the speech sounds of the word or phrase that one is trying to retrieve."
Mauner says this may have happened when Mitt Romney tried to help Rick Perry by suggesting that what Perry was trying to retrieve was the term "EPA" or "Environmental Protection Agency." Activating the speech sounds for the EPA may have temporarily made it more difficult for Perry to retrieve "Energy."
"Thus," she says, "Romney's intended helpfulness might have done more harm than good by temporarily making more available other speech sounds than the ones that Perry was trying to retrieve."
The University at Buffalo is a premier research-intensive public university, a flagship institution in the State University of New York system and its largest and most comprehensive campus. UB's more than 28,000 students pursue their academic interests through more than 300 undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs. Founded in 1846, the University at Buffalo is a member of the Association of American Universities.

Why does the Sunday Times bludgeon doctors?
There's no doubt that doctors feel under assault. In the doctors' private chat rooms the ill feeling towards the government is palpable. The latest assault on GPs over their hours is just one example of many orchestrated attacks on the profession. What has been puzzling Dr Grumble is why the government should be out to get us. You cannot expect to achieve much in the NHS if you set out to hack off the key people you need for an improved service. Dr Grumble has twice now heard the Chief Executive of the NHS say how much can be achieved if you get doctors onside. Perhaps he can see the problems the government is creating.
Could it be that the government is trying to deflect its own inadequacies onto the staff of the NHS? To take just one example, it's plain that even NHS managers seem convinced that MRSA is a problem of the doctors' making and fail to recognise that bad management leading to too few side rooms, ludicrous bed occupancies and beds in general wards and even high dependency units shoehorned into tiny spaces has anything to do with it. If managers genuinely think this way, and they seem to, maybe the public is also taken in. Yet the public trust their doctors and are more likely to believe them than politicians or managers which makes the whole idea of constantly attacking doctors unwise, foolhardy even.
Another thing that Dr Grumble finds puzzling is that the government tends to talk down the NHS when they could be talking it up. Is the intention to soften people up for the privatisation that is on its way?
Dr Grumble still maintains that what the NHS really needs is funding to match that of similar nations. And perhaps bludgeoning doctors is the government's way of trying to get doctors to shoulder the blame for the inadequacies of the NHS. Perhaps then nobody will notice that spending on health in the UK is still lagging behind spending in other countries. The latest figures Dr Grumble can find are below. The curves look essentially parallel. We are just not catching up at all.
On the back of this manufactured failure of our National Health Service there is a concerted attempt to break up general practice as we know it in order to allow big business to muscle in and make big profits for shareholders. Examples of this are walk-in centres and private contractors bidding for local practices. Big business is waiting in the wings to replace the personal, high quality service we all know.
The personal nature of general practice is at risk. GPs know their patients, their problems and how they fit into their patient's lives. Your GP may have been your doctor since you were a baby. He may well also be your children's doctor. He is your advisor, counsellor, confidante, advocate and friend. This personal relationship will not be possible with the new supermarket-type of GP the government seems to want.
Dr Grumble does not think this is what the public wants. And it baffles him that this is what the government wants. Next year will be the crucial year for ordinary people to fight for the National Health Service they love. But Dr Grumble thinks that within ten years general practice in the UK will go private. Some think it will be sooner. Unilaterally rewriting the GP contract is just the beginning.
This was first posted on 23rd December 2007 under the title Why does the government bludgeon doctors? Dr Grumble was moved to republish it as a result of being wound up by the continuing attack on doctors in some of this Sunday's papers. Journalists are lazy people who will readily write the story they are given rather than the one they should be writing. A top medical journalist has told Dr Grumble that some of the top papers are in hock to the government so there is more to this than just journalistic idleness. And that makes it even worse. Anyway Dr Grumble's famous informant (and you will all have heard of him or her) recommended a book to explain how it all works. Unfortunately Dr G did not have a pen with him but he thinks it might have been The Triumph of the Political Class by Peter Oborne. Has anybody out there read it?

My page for todays template challenge is for our Washington D.C. vacation book. We took two of our grandchildren on this fun adventure! Alis Layered Template No. 15 is just perfect for a multi-photo page. I created a base layer the size required for the book and resized the template to fit. Think that I may use this same template several times in my book!
Journaling: I had to chuckle after downloading my photos of this trip, when I saw so many shots which I had taken of James & Mary Paul resting, relaxing or just being bored or tired! Granted, it was hot . . . and we did walk miles! The photos just struck me as being pretty funny! In this large photograph, you are taking a break at the Lincoln Memorial . . . this was the hottest day we had while in Washington . . . the marble was cool I think and made a great resting place for these two kiddos.
