Only 38% of U.S. small businesses with an online presence knew they could point a domain name to an online presence hosted by another service, like a social media site.
No website? No problem. A domain name is still vital because it allows you to claim your online address regardless of how you build your online presence. Unlike most social media sites or outsourced eCommerce sites, your domain name will grow with your business. We have all seen the latest social media craze come and go, and by securing your domain name, you will not lose your customers if you change formats.
Web forwarding (or redirecting) is just like forwarding mail. It is a way of creating a rule that all visitors to your domain should be directed to a web location of your choice. You can change it at any time.
It is easy to use your domain name to forward to a social media or eCommerce page. This allows your business to get the credibility and scalability of a domain name, plus:
- A consistent online address for your business regardless of which social network you use (without being limited to their terms of service).
- A memorable and permanent company Web address to use for marketing. (After all, you want to build your brand, not the social media site's brand.)
Here is an easy step-by-step process to redirect your domain name to your social media or eCommerce page (all registrars are a little different, but should be fairly similar):
- Log into your account (where you purchased the domain name)
- Then click "Launch" next to heading "Domains"
- Click on the domain name you would like to redirect
- Look for "Domain Forwarding" or "Forwarding" section, it should say Domain: Off; click on the "Manage" link
- Click "Add New"
- Copy your social media or eCommerce link, removing the "http://www." or "https://www." before copying the domain into the "Forward to" space
- Select one of the forwarding settings:
- Forwarding Only: Prevents your domain name URL from displaying in the browser's address bar. This is not the best solution if you are trying to increase your natural search rankings.
- Forwarding with Masking: Prevents the forwarded domain name URL from displaying in the browser's address bar and lets you enter Meta Tags for search engine crawlers.
Example of how your domain will render using forwarding option:
|Forwarding Options
|Visitor types in
|Site Visitor Sees
|Address Bar Displays
|Forwarding only
|Forwarding with Masking
- Leave "Update my DNS setting to support this change." Checked.
- Click "Add" and then "Save"
Note: It can take a few hours for the changes to take effect.

Our guest, Captain Peter Hammarstedt, tells the story of finding the notorious poaching ship, The Thunder, in what is quite literally the middle of nowhere and how once Sea Shepherd and the crew of The Bob Barker found The Thunder, a pursuit of record proportions began.
For 10 years the illegal fishing vessel, The Thunder, evaded capture and legal authorities. Meantime, The Thunder and it's crew laid waste to vast stretches of the oceans using drift nets that stretch often 100 miles and they became among one of the worst offenders in the destruction of the oceans.
Captain Peter Hammarstedt took over for Sea Shepherd Captain and founder, Paul Watson and at age 29, Peter has developed a reputation for being passionate, skilled and doggedly determined. He and his volunteer crew needed all those qualities to pursue THE THUNDER.
Captain Peter tells Mark and J.Elvis Weinstein what was involved in this potentially deadly cat and mouse game. The stakes were so high and the money involved so significant that it was not clear that Sea Shepherd's crew wasn't in mortal danger.
The Captain takes us through the whole harrowing story .

Teen's Dad Says She Was 'Smitten' With Army Sergeant Who Police Say Killed Her
The teen and Army sergeant were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.
April 9, 2013 -- The father of a teenager who enlisted in the Army Reserves and was apparently killed by the sergeant who recruited her said his "smitten" daughter rushed to the officer's side because she feared he was suicidal.
"He shot her," Kevin Miller told ABCNews.com, choking up. "She went to help him and he shot her for it."
Michelle Miller, 17, left her Rockville, Md., home at around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday night after receiving a text message from someone in her reservist platoon about Staff Sgt. Adam Arndt, according to her father Kevin Miller.
Arndt, 31, had recruited the Rockville High School senior to the Army Reserves, which she enlisted in to help pay her tuition for Arizona State University.
Miller rushed out of her house believing that Arndt was suicidal and told her family she had to help a friend. Her father asked her to send the exact address, but he only received one vague message from her.
"She went there [and] she dropped off the radar for us. She wouldn't answer the phone, texts, nothing," Kevin Miller told ABCNews.com.
The frantic father contacted his daughter's friends and found out she had sent a few unusual messages to friends saying that she loved them and saying goodbye, according to ABC News' Maryland affiliate WJLA.
Overnight, he continued to try to find out where she was and said a friend of hers was able to give him information in the morning that helped lead him to Arndt's house where he found her car outside.
He called the police and they arrived shortly before 9 a.m. When they were unable to make contact with anyone inside the house, they forced their way in and found Michelle Miller and Arndt dead.
"Detectives now believe that Arndt shot Miller and then shot himself," the Montgomery County Police said in a news release. There is an open investigation into the case as a murder-suicide.
When asked about the nature of his daughter's relationship with the sergeant, Miller said, "I'm somewhat in the dark about that."
"Something quite likely was going on there," he said.
"When she first was going to the meetings and whatnot she met him and she took pictures of him and some of the other people there. You could see she was kind of smitten with him and it's really hard to say on what level," Miller said. "She was really impressed by him."
Arndt's family could not be reached for comment.
Michelle Miller was a talented athlete who lettered in lacrosse, soccer and basketball in high school and was also academically talented. She took multiple honors classes and was also taking classes at a college. She was one credit short of graduation, was tutoring other army recruits and had been accepted to Arizona State University.
"She had a lot of things going on," her father said. "She was all set to go to boot camp in June, go to initial training and then in January go to Arizona, but it's all over."
He described his daughter as a hard worker who would whatever it took to achieve her goals.
"My daughter was someone who knew what she wanted and did everything she had to do to get it," he said. "She worked through pain. She played lacrosse on a foot problem. She would do whatever they asked her in the Army to do, no matter how tired she was or how sore she was."
She wanted to be a psychologist and hoped to eventually work with soldiers who suffered from PTSD.
"She was a fighter and she had her vision of what she wanted to do and she was willing to work as hard as she had to to get there," Miller said.

Nike has decided to put the Chinese government's finely-tuned dissident-hunting skills to work in order to turn up an anonymous conspiracy theorist who posted a "false accusation" about the company. Nike apparently believes that its reputation is at stake thanks to a singular poster on the Internet, and it is determined to protect its brand by making a series of PR moves that aren't going down so well outside of China.
It all started when Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang unexpectedly withdrew from the preliminary heats in this year's Olympic Games. At the time, Liu claimed that he was having problems with his ankle and therefore couldn't compete. The decision upset many of Liu's fans in China who were counting on him to make the country proud, but it also piqued the curiosity of some who believed that Liu was doing just fine before the heats. Reports then surfaced about Liu kicking an iron door "very hard" immediately before declaring himself injured and pulling out of the race, as reported by The Epoch Times.
Nike, Liu's sponsor, reacted to Liu's decision just as one might expect an American company to react. The company turned it into an advertisement by running ads in China's newspapers with Liu's face and the words "Love competition. Love risking your pride. Love winning it back. Love giving it everything you've got. Love the glory. Love the pain. Love sport even when it breaks your heart." Ahh, capitalism.
It was about this time when the conspiracy theorists began coming out of the woodwork. The timing of all these events seemed suspicious, and it seemed to work out all-too-well for Nike.
An individual claiming to be involved with Nike then posted on a Yahoo message board that the company had actually asked Liu to pull out of the race since he wouldn't win anyway and so that Nike could continue to capitalize on his image. Sounds standard for your anonymous tinfoil-hat-wearer on the Internet, right?
Not for Nike, apparently. The company reacted poorly to the accusation instead of simply ignoring it. "We have immediately asked relevant government departments to investigate those that started the rumour," Nike spokesman Charlie Brooks told The Guardian.
Brooks defended the company's decision to make use of China's strict Internet monitoring policies in order to identify the poster. "We want to act to protect our brand reputation in the same way as any corporation would want to if people were posting or writing false accusations," he said. "This isn't about a debate on freedom of speech. It's simply helping us to identify the person who posted it."
Nike isn't backing down, but it has decided to stay mum on any further questions about its involvement with the Chinese government.

"It was actually around 30 [degrees] but it was so worth it, you want to keep [the penguins] happy," Carrey told OnTheRedCarpet.com at the film's Hollywood premiere. "It's already kind of a shocking thing to bring them out of their environment and traveling around a bit, so hopefully they'll get back to an iceberg at some point."
"You can't deny the joy of a penguin," Carrey continued. "It's a perfect creature and I think it's just that they're so odd that we root for them. They're not fish and they're not fowl - what are they? They don't really belong anywhere, yet they just make us feel so good! I guess it feels like me!"
"They kept the penguins not on set, but on a compound on their environment and we'd be at the end of a scene, finishing a line and here you go 'Oh, this take is perfect' in your mind and you hear 'blerrrg dreckkk.' It was like having a heckler."
"I have kids coming up to me and saying 'Oh I just saw 'The Mask' for the first time' or 'I just saw 'Ace Ventura' for the first time' and I feel so lucky for that. I never want to deny that audience. I really want to do something every once in a while for kids. I know how important it was when Jane was growing up to have something I could be able to bring her to that I could enjoy and watch her completely lose herself and have fun. I want to be in that world."

Ah well, lots of scientists arent... um... 'eloquent' or very good at explaining their ideas to the public. But Ive been reading some things Woese has been saying on WIRED blogs recently... troubling things.
It started a couple weeks ago on Darwin Day:
Woese's experience with bacteria led him to look for an evolutionary framework larger than that provided by Darwin and his intellectual descendants. Bacteria -- which may account for up to half of Earth's biomass -- swap genes without reproducing; with millions residing in a teaspoon of seawater, Woese sees them in terms of networked communities rather than individual cells, and interprets their evolutionary history as driven by the non-linear self-organization that's now being studied at all biological scales.The property is gone in the individual iron atoms, but when they behave collectively, you see the property of the whole. That's a very simple example.
The property is gone in the individual iron atoms, but when they behave collectively, you see the property of the whole. That's a very simple example.
The microbial world is where I work; [saltational evolution] predicts that there should be properties of the collective thing, that arise as the thing collects.
Umm... Yeah. Theyre called biofilms. In virus-word, its 'quasispecies'.
Umm... Im not sure what the hell Woese is talking about from the article, and Woeses own words are no more helpful. But when I read that a couple weeks ago, I brushed it off and thought no more about it.
Now there is a new post up at WIRED, and I will not ignore this shit:
My feeling is that evolution shouldn't be taught at the lower grades. You don't teach quantum mechanics in the grade schools. One has to be quite educated to work with these concepts; what they pass on as evolution in high schools is nothing but repetitious tripe that teeachers don't understand.Oh no he din'int. Is he shitting me? Evolution=Quantum Mechanics?? 'Neo-Darwinism is religion see I used the word catecism'?? Teachers are tards? The 'solution' is not teaching evolution until college???
I certainly don't want any intrusion of religious ideas in the name of science -- but I don't want this bland soup that's taught as evolution in the name of science, either. It's not science -- it's catechism. Let's hold off until college, then hire some teachers who really know what to teach them. You have to go to the higest levels to find people with an understanding. That whole setup isn't there at all; all that's there is teaching the same old pap for 150 years, modfied by neo-Darwinists but not in an useful way. (typos original)
Id like to see your lesson plan, Carl. Give me *one biology topic* you can teach in a meaningful manner without evolution. You can give kids a list of shit and make them memorize it.
"Hey kids! Heres a list of the parts of a cell! But dont ask where mitochondria come from! And please dont notice animal cells look different from plant cells. I cant tell you why."Jesus fucking Christ. Crazy old man.
"Now its time to learn about ecosystems! This is a desert. This is a rain forest. But please dont ask why different organisms live in different organisms, or how all these organisms interact."
"Today were gonna learn about the oceans! Fish live in oceans! I cant teach you anything about whales though!"

As I reported last evening, Olympia did indeed issue a statement regarding Gov LePage's inflammatory statement regarding Sen. Troy Jackson late yesterday. According to the Portland Press Herald, here is, in part, what she said:
"In a prepared statement Friday, Snowe called LePage's remarks about Jackson 'regrettable and inappropriate.' She said the governor's apology 'was in everyone's best interests' so the Legislature can continue its work.
"Lucas Caron, a spokesman for Snowe, said he didn't know whether Snowe and her husband, former Maine Gov. John McKernan, would attend and co-host the fundraiser."

Acclaimed Swedish photographer Lars Tunbjörk brings the clarity of foreign eyes to the once-gritty corner of Eighth Avenue and 42nd Street in New York, discovering its Hopper-esque morning stillness and its abstract shapes. Aperture Foundation is pleased to release this limited-edition photograph, as featured in The New York Times Magazine Photographs (Aperture, 2011).
This image originally appeared in the Times on May 18, 1997, in a portfolio focusing on Times Square. The editor, Kathy Ryan, assembled a roster of photographers, each of whom would bring a very different eye and sensibility to the story. Tunbjörk reflects about his image: "Forty-second Street at the time was a strange place, with all the abandoned cinemas and porno palaces—like a big empty theater set. I took this picture on a sunny Sunday. I love sunny Sundays in New York; the air is clean, and the light is so crisp and hard. I thought of the paintings of Piet Mondrian when I saw these buildings and the strong colors."
Lars Tunbjörk (born in Stockholm, Sweden, 1954) spent the 1970s photographing for several national newspapers and publications in his native country. He has exhibited widely in Sweden, including a solo show at the Moderna Museet. Additionally, he has had solo and group shows across Europe and in the United States, including at the International Center of Photography in New York. His work is in many private and public collections and he is represented in New York by the Amador Gallery.

Mimi doesn't want to jinx it.
Mariah Carey has responded to a drumbeat of pregnancy rumors by saying she'll keep refusing to confirm or deny for the time being whether she's expecting her first child with hubby Nick Cannon.
"I appreciate everyone's well wishes. But I am very superstitious," the "Honey" singer said in a statement. "When the time is right, everyone will know – even Cindi Berger [my publicist]."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The latest pregnancy rumors were sparked last week when Carey, 41, was spotted in Brazil wearing a $140 spaghetti halter maternity dress by Pea in the Pod.
Back when rumors flared in June, Cannon, 29, tweeted that his wife of two years would be the one to break the news, according to People.
"We all know it's extremely personal, and it is for a woman to deal with things with her body, and especially when dealing with the idea of childbirth and all that stuff," Cannon reiterated on his radio show on Monday.
Cannon set the stage for the rumor parade in March 2009 by announcing he planned on starting a family with Carey, according to People.
"We're going to do it," he said at the time. "When we do it we're going to let you all know."

Puppy linux saves kids exams
Subject description: "notes from the field" - MSN convo with a user in a tight spot....
Hi, just as I was writing a suggestion for the "My Windows Document Wizard" in the upcoming 3.03ce, a young friend of mine popped up on my MSN messenger. His name is Callum and he is a volunteer at the Community centre where I work. Hes pretty savvy with windows computers. Currently he is in the final year of his school here, and just about to start taking his exams. Ive asked him and he says it is ok to post this conversation.

Basically my windows xp partition is saying that NTLDR is missing, I looked this up from my friends house and it was talking about drives etc, i'm fairly sure the problem is from me leaving a CD in the drive for like 2 weeks, or maybe not. Anyway thats not the problem.
Thething is I desperately need whats on this partition theres over 3months of school work and alot of other important information, it won'tlet me repair it as it is saying I have the wrong admin password, Igoogled a way on how to change the password though this requires yougetting into the repair *Whistles*

Well done to both of you
A chat dialogue is often handy for those who don't understand how two people can possibly communicate by network chat clients. A very good example of that too.
I would like to extract the content and make a help page, guys; can I have your permission please?

If you say so. I could hardly follow the discussion. I handle forums and email fine; those have structure. I handle face-to-face fine, because it's in real-time. But chat has a short time delay (while typing) and no structure. With just two people it's not
bad, but with any more I start getting pretty confused.
Thus why I've never bothered with the Puppy IRC channel other than foundation meetings.

ummm... the best way to learn how to chat... is to chat...as pizzasgood said that chat is rather hard to follow I clouldn't tell who was talking part of the time...
me I can handle IRC but it's not for everybody...if you want to teach someone how to chat give them a chat client with simple instructions not a example of how a chat goes....
that is putting the horse in front of the cart...
haha linux may be "old" to kids but it's not THAT old
... actaully most people on this forum even myself are older than Linux...
of course you may mean that *nix is old and that is true but there are plenty people older than *nix itself...age is relative is it not
and BTW therminology in that post is above the heads of a lot if not most people...not a good introduction
of course that is not what it was intended to be... so COOL linux saved homework....I think it has saved mine a couple times too...
Taking Puppy Linux to the limit of perfection. meanwhile try "puppy pfix=duct_tape" kernel parem eater.

I thought it was amusing but this is the first time I've seen it. It
very distracting. I tend to pay little attention to pages which have distracting movement. I guess you have to decide if you want people to take you seriously, and remember what you said instead of your avatar.

I was wondering how long it would take before people started complaining about the animation. They jumped at my endlessly walking FFT avatar immediately, and that one was smaller and much less distracting. Actually, I think they jumped at it twice, because I think after a year or two, I forgot that they didn't like animation and happened to try using it after a flaw with my old static avatar prompted me to change.
But I'm happy with the one I've got now. I always did like Muttskii

The Unbearable Lightness (of Being an LLC)
Posted on March 11, 2014 by Joe Wallin
I had a client press me recently about converting from an LLC (taxed as a partnership) to a corporation. The client had been considering raising money from angels and wanted to grant traditional corporate-style stock option to employees. I suggested … Continue reading →

By Angela Woodward
This is the first article in Compass' new "Making the Difference" series, highlighting the ways in which Ohio University staff and faculty are living their passion while making a difference – on campus, in the community, in their fields, and around the world.
It was the encouragement and guidance he received from his high school teachers that led Jerry Miller to a career in higher education and part of the reason Miller is participating in a program that is making a difference in the lives of some Ohio University Bobcats.
An associate professor in the School of Communication Studies, Miller has been educating OHIO students for the past 16 years. This past summer he took on a new role – teaching COMS 1010 in the University's Summer Transition Program (STP).
Spearheaded by Undergraduate Admissions and University College, STP gives a limited number of at-risk students who have demonstrated through application materials compelling evidence that they are likely to succeed the opportunity to earn their full enrollment into the University.
"STP is a classic bridge program," explained Candace Boeninger, assistant vice provost for enrollment management and director of undergraduate admissions. "Its goal is to allow the University to support a population of students who appear to be at risk for success at Ohio University and at the same time also very likely to succeed here.
"We wouldn't admit a student if we didn't believe he or she would be successful here," Boeninger said, adding that her office seeks out pathways to enrollment for students who aren't immediately admitted to OHIO – either through the University's regional campuses, its partnerships with community colleges, or, in a limited number of situations, STP. "The whole premise of the Summer Transition Program is that these students will demonstrate their ability to be successful at Ohio University through STP and will earn a spot in the freshman class and have all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of a first-year student."
Students invited to participate in STP spend a six-week summer semester on the Athens Campus and enroll in 12 hours of classes that are specifically selected for them. The classes selected for STP meet Tier 1 English composition, Tier 2 Humanities and Literature and Tier 2 Social Science requirements. The students must pass all of the classes, earn at least a 2.33 GPA overall and have no judicial violations in order to successfully complete STP and be fully admitted to the University for fall semester.
The program also includes intensive academic support services that are available to the students five nights a week for two hours each night. STP students are required to attend at least six hours of study sessions per week.
Miller decided to teach in STP for a number of reasons.
"I recognize the challenges that some students face in going to college," Miller, a first-generation college student, said. "Neither of my parents finished high school. College wasn't even really a part of our conversations. … But I had some teachers in high school who recognized something in me, and they introduced me to a speech and debate coach at a community college, so that was my entrance into higher education.
"I recognize that there are a variety of reasons why high school students aren't necessarily prepared for college. Most instances, I would say, have nothing to do with intellect or ability, it's just exposure and opportunity, and so for a personal reason that's why I wanted to get involved with STP."
It is that personal experience combined with a passion for the subject matter he teaches that has helped make STP at OHIO so successful.
Established in the mid-2000s, approximately 220 students have participated in STP since the summer of 2007. The program's success rate has consistently been in the over 90 percent range. In 2012, 97.5 percent of the STP participants successfully completed the program and were fully admitted to OHIO. This past summer, the program had a success rate of 90.1 percent.
"The goal of this program is to help students become Bobcats. That's it," said Greg Lester, assistant dean for student services with University College. "We're offering opportunities that these students wouldn't otherwise have. There are 50 students here this term who wouldn't be here if not for STP."
STP graduates credit their success not only to the program but to the dedicated faculty and staff behind this intense summer experience.
"(STP) changed my life because without it I know I wouldn't be doing as well as I am now," said Alysha, who successfully completed the program this past summer. "The staff and faculty were super nice. They were there for us and only wanted us to do our best. … They had high expectations but helped us achieve our goals."
OHIO employees throughout the Athens Campus contribute to the STP experience, making it a truly collaborative effort.
The University's admissions advisors recommend students for the program while the staff at University College develop the coursework and recruit faculty to teach the classes. Staff in the financial aid, bursar, registrar and housing offices ensure that STP students' needs are met on day one of the program while Bobcat Student Orientation employees provide a one-day orientation for STP students, helping them make the quick transition to college.
At the heart of the program are the faculty members who agree to teach in this program that has so much at stake for the families it serves.
"The dedication to student success for faculty in STP or otherwise is paramount," said Lester. "If you don't have faculty who are as engaged as the students are, then it's going to be a challenge. Fortunately, Ohio University is blessed with a really great faculty, and we get top-notch faculty for STP."
Lester's role in STP is arranging class schedules and faculty to teach those classes as well as developing the academic support sessions.
The rigors of STP can be challenging for both the students in the program and the faculty teaching the courses. That was especially true the summer of 2012 when OHIO was transitioning from quarters to semesters and the six-week STP had to be condensed into four weeks.
According to Lester, one of the STP groups that summer literally had no time built into its schedule for lunch. The STP faculty, however, made it work, allowing students to grab something quick and eat while in class.
"That spirit is really well represented across STP instructors," Lester said.
One of the faculty members who had her first STP experience that summer is Sarah Poggione, an associate professor of political science who has taught in STP the past two summers.
Poggione will admit that her first summer in STP was challenging, but she's quick to add, "The STP students really all saw this as a real opportunity to get something they wanted, and being able to help them and be a part of that hooked me on the program. I was happy to do it again this past summer, and I will be happy to participate in this program as long as they need and want me to."
Poggione said she enjoys being a part of the opportunity STP gives to its students.
"It's just a really rewarding set of students to work with since they really are at the very beginning of their college careers and there's all this possibility out there in front of them," she said. "A lot of them have overcome various challenges that may be part of why they didn't get an immediate full admission to the University, so they're students who are working very hard."
When asked how she feels about making a difference in these students' lives, Poggione said, "I think there's probably lots of ways that faculty make a difference that we don't necessarily know about. … but when you see former STP students on campus, you know you've been a part of helping them get something they really wanted. That's really exciting because you know you're making a difference by their very presence here."
STP helps students not only transition from high school to college but in many cases allows the students to form their first relationships with OHIO faculty.
"I would say that there are several STP students I've been in contact with since last summer's program ended," Miller said. "I told the students that they may not connect with every professor but hopefully they'll be able to connect with some who will become their mentors. … I want every college student to at least have someone, at least one professor, with whom they can develop a rapport that goes beyond the typical classroom relationship."
"STP was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me," said Madeline Stecz, who participated in the program in 2012.
Stecz will admit that being invited into the program was bittersweet. She knew she wanted to attend OHIO the minute she stepped onto the Athens Campus to visit her older brother, and knowing that she would have to sacrifice her last summer at home with her high school friends to participate in STP was difficult.
Today, Stecz is a sophomore at OHIO majoring in sociology.
"(STP) helped me get into such a wonderful school," she said. "I've made some of the best friends I know I will have for life, and overall it helped me be a better college student. I learned how to balance my hectic college life, having time for homework, sleep, staying fit and recreational activities. I did really well my freshman year, and if I hadn't done this program, I would not be here now."
And the difference STP and the faculty and staff behind it has made in these students' lives isn't likely to stop.
Poggione said she knows of at least a few STP graduates who have expressed interest in becoming resident assistants, tutors and peer mentors, and she wouldn't be surprised if many of them go on to leadership positions at OHIO.
"These students have really sort of taken all the resources and all the energies and all the efforts that faculty and staff of this program put into it, and they want to give back to the University," she said. "I think they realize that people are making these efforts on their behalf, and they really feel compelled, many of them, to figure out ways that they can help other students."
The Ohio University community is home to a family of staff and faculty committed to inspired teaching and learning and driven by a desire to make a difference.
University Communications and Marketing (UCM) is launching a new Compass series, "Making the Difference." The series will focus on OHIO staff and faculty who are making a difference – on campus, in the community, in their fields, and around the word.
UCM is calling on Bobcat Nation to help us share the stories of the numerous ways in which OHIO staff and faculty are making a difference every day. If you know of an individual or group of individuals who would be ideal candidates for this series, please contact Angela Woodward at email@example.com.

U.N. influence in Alabama
By Henry Lamb
Only a handful of the people who gathered at the Birmingham Hilton on April 8, 2003 knew that the objective of the meeting was to implement U.N. policy in Alabama. Most people in attendance thought the meeting was to solicit comments about a "forest management plan" being developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The comment period is open until July, at which time, the plan will go into effect to standardize "ecosystem management" in all National Forests in Alabama.
"Yes," answered Rick Morgan, spokesman for the government, when asked if the plan provided for core wilderness areas, surrounded by buffer zones. The plan fulfills the criteria of Article 4 of UNESCO's Statutory Framework for U.N. Biosphere Reserves. Most of Alabama has already been gobbled up by the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve, one of 47 U.N. Biosphere Reserves designated in the U.S., with no debate, discussion, or vote by any state legislature, or the U.S. Congress.
A major function of all U.N. Biosphere Reserves, is to continually expand the core wilderness areas and connecting corridors of wilderness, pushing ever-outward the buffer zones, and surrounding the entire area with an ever-expanding "zone of cooperation." The Southern Appalachian Reserve began with the designation of the 517,000-acre Great Smoky Mountains National Park as a U.N. Biosphere Reserve. State Department maps now show the Reserve to include an area that stretches from Birmingham to Roanoke, and from Nashville, to Asheville.
Who wants all this land managed according to policies decided by UNESCO?
Morgan was asked: if all the comments received from the people were negative, opposing the management plan, would the plan be abandoned? His answer: "No, the comments will be taken and duly noted."
This management plan is required by the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity. Why is this plan being implemented in Alabama, and throughout the United States, when the U.S. Senate did not ratify the U.N. Convention on Biological Diversity?
The Clinton/Gore administration expected the treaty to be ratified, with
little or no opposition. They were shocked when it failed, and decided to
implement its provisions anyway, through its administrative policy of "Ecosystem
The Convention on Biological Diversity was first proposed in 1981 by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The IUCN is an NGO (non-government organization) in Switzerland whose membership includes more than 60 major U.S. environmental organizations, and seven departments of the federal government.
The bureaucrats from these seven federal agencies, and the leaders of the environmental organizations, worked together through the IUCN to develop the draft treaty, which was then presented to the U.N. Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, where it was adopted in 1992. Once adopted by the U.N. these same environmental organizations, and federal agencies, lobby for ratification. The federal agencies then implement the treaties which they helped draft. And, these same agencies, award federal grants to the NGOs to help implement the treaties. Almost all U.S. environmental policy since the early 1970s has followed this same route.
The Nature Conservancy has been an initiator of at least the last four U.N. Biosphere Reserves nominated in the U.S., and a primary promoter of Biosphere expansion everywhere. At the Birmingham meeting, Rick Morgan was asked if his agency was in partnership with The Nature Conservancy. His reply: "We are mutually supportive, we attend their meetings and they attend ours."
The Nature Conservancy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are members of the IUCN. Both organizations worked on the development of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and both organizations are working together to implement the management provisions required by the treaty, even though the treaty was not ratified.
The long-term aim of the Convention on Biological Diversity is to convert at least half of the land area to "core wilderness" areas, connected by corridors of wilderness, all of which is off limits to human activity. Wilderness areas are to be surrounded by buffer zones, in which human activity is strictly limited by government, and managed for "conservation objectives." People are gradually being moved into "sustainable communities," which are designed to achieve economic and environmental equity.
The meeting in Birmingham was to satisfy the requirement to provide for public input to a plan, the outcome of which was decided years ago. The people were told that the plan affected only the National Forests in Alabama. Truth is, that the plan affects all land in and near the National Forests. The federal government uses the Endangered Species Act, the Invasive Species Initiative, wetland policies, viewsheds, smart growth, and a host of other policies, to restrict land use on private property to the point that the land will ultimately fall into the hands of the government, or an environmental organization such as The Nature Conservancy.
Alabama is not alone. Virtually every state and every community has been targeted to undergo a similar transformation into what Science magazine described in 1993 as "the transformation of America to an archipelago of human inhabited islands surrounded by natural areas (p.1868)."
The transformation of America was designed by the IUCN in Switzerland, adopted by the United Nations, and is being systematically implemented in Alabama, and in every state, by bureaucrats and environmentalists who have no accountability at the ballot box. Elected officials, who are accountable at the ballot box, are allowing the transformation to go forward. They should be held accountable.
Henry Lamb is the executive vice president of the Environmental
Conservation Organization, and chairman of Sovereignty

FEN-to-Image chess diagram creator
Needed a few chess diagrams, but screen capturing from chess software does not look good and requires a lot of silly post processing, not to mention time required to put all pieces in order. That's how a little project of mine was born, FEN-to-Image takes your position in a well known FEN format and returns the beautifully looking diagram with all the pieces.
Board size and layout are configurable, output format now is fixed to .png, but could be anything like .jpg or .gif if someone needs that.
Images are heavily cached, to reduce the load on the server. By my rough calculations it could easily serve about 10-20 hits per second. Not much, but how many chess players are going to use it?

You Got This Baby Pink Sweatshirt
Our gorgeous embroidered You Got This slogan is now available on a super girlie and feminine pale pink sweatshirt. This is the perfect sweatshirt to showcase the soft pink heart and gold embroidery. Feminine, strong and gorgeous.- just like you!
This is a unisex sweatshirt so you can size down to get a more structured fit.
Please note, we are doing our best to get orders out as quickly as we possibly can. Due to the current situation it is taking a little longer than normal and we really appreciate your support and patience at this challenging time.
Parents are people who look at the big picture.
If you're a parent, you've spent time thinking about your kids and their future, and whether you are leaving a better world behind for them.
At Percy & Nell, we spend time thinking about the same things. Many of us are parents as well, and we know that the choices we make today are the ones our children are going to have to live with in the future.
Consider this: the fashion and clothing industry is already one of the most polluting industries on the planet, and children seem to outgrow their clothes within months. What's a ecologically-minded parent to do? Short of buying all your children's clothes second hand or making them yourselves, buying from a business that makes sure it maintains as small a carbon footprint as it can is something you can do to help make the world a better place for the next generation.
We don't believe that loving the planet means that you should scrimp on quality, either. Our clothes are made of the softest organic materials that are extremely tactile to touch as well as being kind to the environment. They are comfortable, fashionable, and do a great job of keeping your child warm, snug, and protected against the elements.
If you wish to pass on an awareness of the planet and a sense of guardianship on to your kids, the best way is to start them young and teach by example. What better way than to dress them in clothes that embody your ideals?
Postage and packaging is £3.50 for UK and various different rates for international which you will see when you check out. Items are sent out via Royal Mail first class signed for.

Some blessed and enlightened gardener(s) planted up patches of one of my local parks with saffron crocus – Crocus Sativus and they flower for a period of two precious weeks at the end of October, each flower lasting just a day.
There are other autumn crocuses, from the colchicum family that flower earlier in September through to December, but they aren't edible, (in fact some, such as naked ladies, are highly toxic – so be warned)…..the stamens are usually quite obviously different. True saffron crocuses have 3 stamens, whereas the colchicum family (as they're really from the lily family) have 6, and the stigmas and stamens often (but not always) look very different. You want to collect stigmas.There is some difference in colour, from strong orange to deep crimson in true saffron – if you're not sure, read a few reliable guides,
but when stigmas are dry, the smell of saffron is unmistakable.
UPDATE – spent some time chatting to a gardener who specialises in native British planting the other day, and he told me the stigmas from colchicum family can also smell of saffron when dried, as they also contain safranal – the best way to exclude a poisonous naked lady is to check for leaves – naked ladies don't have any when they flower (they produce leaves in the spring, when they sometimes get mistaken for wild garlic – which is when most cases of poisoning occur – sometimes fatal). Crocus leaves are long thin spikes, darker than a blade of grass and slightly glossy. I went to back to the park to take a better picture, but the municipal gardeners have mowed 😦 however, found some naked ladies planted in the local ecology park so have posted a picture at the end of this post. Saffron is always planted by humans, whereas naked ladies also appear in the wild, especially in the southwest of England.
Now, if you were a saffron farmer, or growing some in your garden, you would be up at the crack of dawn to harvest your gold (it is the most expensive spice on earth), but I tend to go later in the day – it gives other creatures a chance to share the bounty and it doesn't effect the quality dramatically and as the flowers are delicate, you don't need to panic so much about ruining them. I tend to use a pair of tweezers if I remember them, but fingers can be used with care;-)
As with some wild mushrooms, the flavour gets stronger as the stigma dry – I place mine in cigarette rolling papers as I pick – use a similar sort of paper as tissues would absorb too much of the precious flavour.
One of the golden rules of foraging is never to take more than 1/10th of what you find, and while saffron doesn't depend on pollination as it doesn't produce seeds, please don't be greedy if you find some – the earth is a common treasury for all;-)
Personally, I love love love saffron, but I usually collect about 30 stigmas – enough for 4 or 5 dishes a year – it's a luxury and it would somehow feel sacrilegious to treat it with less than reverence. If I need more, I buy it.
Bulbs are available for sale (and get planted) from June – you can earn serious brownie points with your favourite gardener for the price of a few bulbs. I'm not sure how far north they flourish in the UK – see the wikipage for growing conditions .
If you have to eek out small amounts of saffron in a recipe, I recommend you augment it with anatto seeds (from the lipstick plant) soaked in hot water or brown onion skins boiled in water, as they both give a lovely colour and no discernible flavour. Turmeric, while a lovely shade of yellow and a brilliant spice in its own right, has a very strong flavour which will annihilate your saffron.

Award Winning Prevue Wearable Pregnancy Ultrasound
Melody Yi-Yun Shiue Exhibits The Prevue Wearable Pregnancy Ultrasound
Melody Yi-Yun Shiue, the author of the award winning design Wearable pregnancy ultrasound by Melody Yi-Yun Shiue says, PreVue is a solution to enhancing maternal-fetal bonding as a reassurance window. It is an e-textile based apparatus that uses 4D ultrasound. Latest stretchable display technology is also employed on the abdominal region, allowing other members of the family especially the father to connect with the foetus in its context. PreVue not only gives you the opportunity to interact and comprehend the physical growth of the baby, but also an early understanding of its personality as you see it yawning, rolling, smiling etc., bringing you closer till the day it finally rests into your arms..

I am a ESL teacher but also have 12 years experience in international photojournalism and a Master's Degree in Visual Communications (photojournalism). I have also taught photography. I'm at a curve in the road right now and feel I can work in either field. My only, obstacle as some may see it, is that I want to work someplace where I can bring my small well-educated dog. Yes very educated guy, even bi-lingual. I know Israeli's I have met love their pets so I'm looking of this board. I am open to many countries where ever the right fit is. It would be wonderful to receive constructive thoughts from those who are familiar with Israel, and other applicable countries which fit my needs. Thanks Ahead of time.
