Oh my God! I just watched ANTM today, and I'm like totally frickin' pissed! I always hated most of the last episodes of this show 'cause they nearly always pick the wrong girl, but come on!

The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology focuses on matters regarding the origins of humankind. The Institute's researchers study widely-differing aspects of human evolution. They analyse the genes, cultures, languages and cognitive abilities of people living today and compare them with those of apes and extinct peoples. Scientists from various disciplines work closely together at the Institute: for example, linguists and psychologists aim to discover how languages develop and how people learn languages. Geneticists trace the genetic make-up of extinct species, such as Neanderthals. Behaviourists and ecologists, for their part, study the behaviour of apes and other mammals.

United Against Land Grabbing
Belgium - 16 Apr 12
The weather in Brussels was miserable yesterday, but the Cinquantenaire Park was nevertheless taken over by huge picnic made entirely with local products. In Tete, Mozambique, a large public demonstration is taking place right now, while in Washington, Professor Eric Holt-Gimenez, director of the Food First organization, is about to open a discussion on the book Food Movements Unite and on the current food crisis. Meanwhile in Ecuador, the wonderful aromas of typical local dishes - such as fish cazuela and corn pies –filled the Plaza Civica in San Vincente, where the Festival de Sabores y Saberes was celebrated on Sunday. These are just a few examples of the many events taking place around the world to celebrate the International Day of Peasants' Struggle organized by the international farmers' movement, Via Campesina. Every year hundreds of initiatives are organized to assert the importance of small-scale farming to meet the growing food needs of the planet. The date was chosen to commemorate a dramatic event: on April 17, 1996, 19 farmers of the Sin Tierra movement were killed by the Brazilian police while participating in a peaceful demonstration. This year the day focuses on the growing phenomenon of land grabbing: the buying or leasing of agricultural property that tramples the rights of rural populations and steals their most precious asset, land. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2007/2008, more than 50,000 hectares of fertile land have been given away at ludicrous prices by local governments, mainly in Africa, but also in Latin America, Australia, Asia and Eastern Europe – equaling a total surface area the size of Spain. Plots are undersold or more often leased to public (governments or sovereign funds) or private investors (corporate companies, banks and pension funds) that hope to obtain quick profits. "Land grabbing has resulted in the concentration of the ownership of land and natural resources in the hands of large-scale investors," says Via Campesina. "This has led to the eviction and displacement of the local populations - usually farmers -, the violation of human rights and women's rights, increased poverty, social fracture and environmental pollution." Read Via Campesina's call to action. Follow the day on Facebook or on www.viacampesina.org Slow Food is promoting a campaign against land grabbing. Click here to find out more.

We maintain a list of prices, etc. of medicines sold in Danish pharmacies.
The list, which is called 'Medicine Prices', contains information about prices, pack sizes, strengths and reimbursement as well as information about which medicines can be dispensed as interchangeable medicines (substitution).
The list also includes over-the-counter medicines sold outside pharmacies in authorised sales outlets. However, the prices of these medicines are not fixed.
The list of medicine prices forms the basis for the websites medicinpriser.dk (open to all) and erhverv.medicinpriser.dk (subscription service for companies).
At medicinpriser.dk you can search for prices and other information on medicines currently available on the market, and you can generate your own medicine list and calculate your co-payment.
You can also see how the medicine prices develop and find medicines previously on the market. Read more about medicinpriser.dk
Medicine Prices for companies is a subscription service specifically designed for pharmacies, pharmaceutical companies and wholesalers. The service includes many features such as an advanced search option and a printable PDF file with all packages of medicines sold in the current price period.
Furthermore, the subscription gives access to data files which contain the price information, etc. which we feed to the pharmacies' IT systems. Read more about Medicine Prices for companies.
Pharmaceutical companies report changes in prices and range every fortnight via our extranet DKMAnet. Based on these reports, medicinpriser.dk and erhverv.medicinpriser.dk are updated Sunday nights of every other week between 00:00 and 00:15.
In the menu to the left, you can read more about companies' notification of changes in prices and range and wholesalers' notification of potential supply failure.

No. 12 EMCC punches NJCAA tourney ticket with 78-64 regional win over rival Itawamba |
CLINTON –- For the second straight year, East Mississippi Community College will be represented in national tournament play, as the 12th-ranked EMCC Lions punched their ticket to the upcoming NJCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship with Thursday's 78-64 victory over Itawamba in the title game of the NJCAA Region 23 Championship played at A.E. Wood Coliseum on the Mississippi College campus. Now 26-5 overall after notching their fifth consecutive series win over MACJC North Division rival ICC, head coach Mark White's 2009-10 Lions will represent District 15 in this year's national tournament, set for March 16-20 at the Sports Arena in Hutchinson, Kan. This will mark East Mississippi's first-ever national tournament appearance in men's basketball competition. A year ago in Salina, Kan., head coach Sharon Thompson's 2008-09 Lady Lions earned the first national tourney berth for the EMCC women's program since finishing as national runners-up in 1978. After trailing 14-6 eight minutes into the game, the Lions scored eight unanswered points to even the score en route to outscoring the Indians by a 32-11 margin to hold a comfortable 38-25 halftime advantage. Freshman playmaker Deonte Alexander, from Nashville, led the way in the opening half with 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the three-point arc. Following a nine-point effort in the first half, preseason NJCAA All-American CoCo Ware took a hard spill at the 17:46 mark of the second half while driving to the basket. After nearly turning a complete flip in midair while drawing a blocking foul on an ICC defender, Ware landed awkwardly on his right side. The Starkville native stayed in the game to convert his free throws, but came out at the next stop in action and proceeded straight to the locker room. After being checked, Ware re-entered the contest at the 12:21 mark. He went on to tally 10 second-half points, including 6-of-7 shooting from the line, to lead EMCC's quintet of double-digit scorers with 19 points. Selected to the all-tournament team, Ware scored 80 points over the three days in Clinton. Despite having their lead cut to seven points on four occasions during the second half, the Lions' advantage was never seriously challenged over the final 20 minutes even with Ware out of the game. With the Indians being held to 38-percent shooting from the field on the night, EMCC took advantage of aggressive drives to the basket and was able to pad the margin at the charity stripe. In the second half alone, the Lions converted on 23-of-35 free throws after earning just three trips to the line in the opening period. Also picked for the all-tournament regional team, EMCC's Alexander finished the title game with 17 points on 6-of-10 field-goal shooting. With his third double figure-scoring effort in the last four games while coming off the bench, freshman forward Richard Dixon followed with a dozen points. Having gone undefeated against Itawamba in their two-year East Mississippi careers, sophomores Terence Bennett and John Harris added 10 points apiece for the winners. Concluding the 2009-10 campaign with a 20-10 overall mark, the Indians of ICC were led by Melvin Morgan's 13 points. For the EMCC athletics program as a whole this past year, the school has now claimed regional titles in both men's and women's basketball competition, as well as having collected a program-first state football championship over the past 12 months. |

After much back and forth I chose the 6000i and I'm glad I did. It works better than the 40001 and my hair gets straighter and a bit shinier. I still haven't found a dryer that makes my hair stick straight and not frizzy at all, but this one is pretty good.posted This weekLink to this post

It had no heat adjustment my hair felt burnt if I didn't use the chi silk infusion! This flat iron I don't even have to put the silk infusion to get shiny results! Overall very good product!

Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling...Amanda B.HairMedium BrownCurly HairWorked Great...until 8 Months Later!I loved this straightener. It did what it promised and straightened my unruly 2c hair without a problem.
I've had it 8 months now and it will no longer heat up. I contacted SEDU because it came with a two year warranty and it'll take 4-6 weeks for them to receive mine and send me a "new" one...only they won't be sending me a new one. In place of your product, they send you a "comparable refurbished product" and you have to pay $10 to ship yours to them. For a $200 straightener, you would think the $10 shipping would be provided...and the fact that they're sending me a refurbished product instead of a new one rubs me the wrong way.posted Apr 28, 2013Link to this post -

Buyer Beware!I love this flat iron it works great on my hair;but, I dont know if I would buy it again!!! After the first few months I thought that I would be a consumer for life. However, I am on my 3rd flat iron in a year and a half, because luckily it comes with a 2 year warranty. The fisrt one lasted about a year then one of the plates stopped heating up. I was like well it happens. Got my new refurbished one in the mail and after about six months just stopped working. Disapppointed! ON the 3rd one hopefully this one lasts!

They have arrived! And a quick flip-through showed no obvious issues! I'll still have to scour them later, but yay! I can hold book two in my hands! (No,
can't do that yet, as this was a small proof run. Still, if the books pass the test, I'll place the BIG order once the Kickstarter funds end up in my bank account.)
Pimp my Studio Giveaway!
May 13th 2013
Darc, of
Code Name: Hunter
, is holding an
awesome art supply giveaway
(which I contributed to) and all artists and
aspiring artists should check it out! These are supplies that are meant to get you off the ground, or enhance what you already have lying around. This is stuff
we use
, and we know how important quality supplies are! Darc has provided great stuff for sketching and basic drawing/inking, including helpful art instruction books that *I* covet! I've tossed in some of my favorite comic-making supplies!
How do you get this great package? Show some art initiative! Artists (even if just hobbyists/dabblers) make art, wherever they can. Share a photo of your work space, and you are entered into the drawing - which will be held on
Darc's weekly streaming session
on June 12th. It doesn't matter where your drawing space is, or its level of fanciness - the point is to show how we draw wherever we can. A rather large percentage of the first year of Precocious was drawn on a wobbly card table, mostly with supplies I scrounged up from around my grandparent's house. It wasn't much, but it worked. Draw on the dining room table? At your desk? On one of those lap board in your bed? A lined notebook on the school bus? It's all good! Take a pic and
send it to Darc
! (Include links to whatever art accounts you have!)

Precocious Book 2 preorder Kickstarter campaign

Anyone aching for a doll - or possibly a set, which is not currently being offered but could be - will need to grab a Kickstarter package (you can select a tier or add one on to your tier, as explained in the post below) or contact me and let me know.
And, for good measure, the Bud and Tiffany dolls that were previously shown off:

Series: Excerpts from "Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design"
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Augustine of Hippo and Two Books Theology, Part 2
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Pre-Modern Readings on Genesis 1
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Science and the Bible: The Framework View
Although the Framework View has existed for about ninety years, its attitude toward the Genesis "days" is similar to that held by Augustine. He taught that God created all things at once and told us about it in the pattern of six days, in order that we could understand it. The days themselves, however, were "unknowable" and not meant as a "literal" description of the passage of time.
Becoming Human: New Insights from Genome-wide Functional Genomics
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.

Congress might shoot down Seafair's Navy Blue Angels
January 30, 2013 @ 3:30 pm (Updated: 3:43 pm - 1/30/13 )The U.S. Navy is bracing for billions of dollars in cuts if Congress fails to agree on a budget by the end of March.
Without agreement on reducing the budget, mandatory cuts known as "sequestration" will be enacted.
Sequestration would force the Navy to cut all funding to the aerial demonstration squadron for the third and fourth quarters of 2013, according to a brief from Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert.
U.S. News and World Report obtained the budget brief.
That means no blue and gold F/A-18s screaming through the skies. The Blue Angels have more than 30 events scheduled for the latter half of the year, including Seafair in Seattle. The precision flying team is already committed to Seafair weekend, August 2 - 4, 2013.
The Navy needs to slash $4.6 billion from its operation and maintenance funds if Congress fails to come to a compromise.
Even if the sequestration is settled in Washington, the Department of Defense's budget will still decline, according to Greenert.

On 19 March 2012, VASAB Committee on Spatial Planning and Development of the Baltic Sea Region has acknowledged the BaltSeaPlan Vision 2030. More information: press release
The Strategy (EUSBSR) has several Horizontal Actions (HA) focused on specific aspects in order to respond to the regional needs. VASAB is HA leader of two actions. HA "Develop and complete Land-based Spatial Planning"
This HA ensures coherence between actions and maintaining an integrated approach. Without a clear picture of the region, and an awareness of sensitive areas, population and economic pressures and other factors, sustainable development is not feasible.
The major contribution on the development of land-based spatial planning is the elaboration of the "Long Term Perspective for the Territorial Development of the Baltic Sea Region" (LTP). The LTP was adopted by the VASAB 7th Conference of Ministers responsible for Spatial Planning and Development of the Baltic Sea Region in 2009. The LTP is in line with the Territorial Agenda of the EU and it complements the EUSBSR with regard to more detailed objectives and actions concerning territorial cohesion and development of the BSR. The LTP concentrates on issues which require transnational solutions such as urban networking and urban-rural cooperation, improving external and internal accessibility as well as development of maritime spatial planning. It should be taken into account by Priority Area Coordinators with regard to spatial objectives, conditions and impacts of their actions.
As part of the implementation process of the EUSBSR, the LTP is currently being implemented through a number of short-medium and long-term actions together with other stakeholders of the Region.
HA "Encourage the use of Maritime Spatial Planning in all Member States around the Baltic Sea and develop a common approach for cross-border cooperation"
Horizontal Action Leaders of this HA are jointly VASAB and HELCOM. The HA has a task to develop a maritime spatial planning (MSP) system for the Baltic Sea based on the ecosystem approach. Increased activities in the Baltic Sea lead to competition for limited marine space between sectoral interests, such as shipping and maritime transport, offshore energy, ports development, fisheries and aquaculture in addition to environmental concerns. MSP is a key tool for improved decision-making that balances sectoral interests and contributes to achieving sustainable use of marine areas to benefit economic development as well as the marine environment. BaltSeaPlan and Plan Bothnia projects are the key preparatory actions to test the implementation of MSP in a cross-border context.
A joint co-chaired MSP Working Group was launched in October 2010 by HELCOM and VASAB to ensure cooperation among the BSR countries for coherent regional MSP processes in the Baltic Sea.
Detailed information about EUSBSR is available here: www.balticsea-region-strategy.eu

The Council of Baltic Sea States (CBSS) consisting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of 11 Baltic Sea Region countries and a member of the European Union at the 16th Ministerial Session on 7 June 2011 in Oslo have noted with appreciation the work of VASAB and HELCOM on maritime spatial planning and the adoption of the Baltic Sea Broad-Scale Maritime Spatial Planning Principles.

Second Joint VASAB-HELCOM MSP WG Meeting took place on 20-21 January 2011 in Riga. More information: agenda; presentations; minutes.
On 17 November 2010 the Committee of Senior Officials of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS) "accepted placing VASAB under the CBSS umbrella". The CBSS decision concluded a process of re-defining cooperation framework between the CBSS and VASAB, initiated by the CBSS Elsinore Declaration of 4 June 2009 and appreciated by the VASAB Vilnius Declaration of 16 October 2009.
The CBSS decision would mean VASAB being a network closely connected to the CBSS. In order to achieve more synergies between the two organisations VASAB will regularly exchange information with the CBSS and its family members. For example, a CBSS representative will be invited to participate in all CSPD/BSR meetings. Nevertheless, VASAB will remain independent in terms of the budgeting, reporting and having a secretariat.
The CBSS is an overall political forum for regional inter-governmental cooperation. The Members of the Council are the eleven states of the Baltic Sea Region as well as the European Commission. The states are Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia, Sweden and a representative from the European Commission.
The Council consists of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs from each Member State and a member of the European Commission. The role of the Council is to serve as a forum for guidance and overall coordination among the participating states. The foreign minister of the presiding country is responsible for coordinating the Council's activities and is assisted in this work by the Committee of Senior Officials (CSO).
For many years VASAB has been the strategic partner of the CBSS.

VASAB expert and stakeholder meeting took place on 8 June 2010 in Kaunas, Lithuania. More information about the meeting:
VASAB - Vision and Strategies around the Baltic Sea - is an intergovernmental network of 11 countries of the Baltic Sea Region promoting cooperation on spatial planning and development in the Baltic Sea Region.
VASAB has a vision for a sustainable, balanced and harmonious spatial development in the Baltic Sea Region. VASAB objective is to help realize this vision with ideas and knowledge.
VASAB is creating a forum for discussing spatial framework of the Region. Spatial planning is increasingly acknowledged as an interactive, interdisciplinary and democratic instrument to promote sustainable and balanced spatial development and cohesion in the Baltic Sea Region. It is an effective tool for national governments and Pan-Baltic organisations to promote the spatial integration and competitiveness of the Baltic Sea Region.
EU enlargement is having considerable spatial impacts on the whole region. Therefore, co-operation in the framework of VASAB can help define the main spatial development needs for integration of the BSR territory and to initiate necessary action. Special attention must be paid to impacts caused by regional disparities between the "old" and "new" EU member states and their neighbouring countries and regions, such as North-Western Russia and regions of Belarus and co-operation should be intensified.
VASAB focuses its work on the following issues:
VASAB 7th Ministerial Conference on 16 October 2009 in Vilnius, Lithuania has endorsed the new VASAB Long Term Perspective. The Ministers underlined that during present times, new common responsibilities and challenges have emerged which call for deeper pan-Baltic co-operation on spatial planning and development and integration of spatial development policies into all relevant sectors. The present economic restructuring has different effects in different places. Place-based planning and development policies have to react on that. There is a growing understanding that the Baltic Sea itself is in urgent need of maritime spatial planning. The new Long Term Perspective for the Territorial Development of the Baltic Sea Region (LTP) is an effort to define important challenges with a trans-national relevance and to illustrate how to deal with them.
Spatial planning is more than ever a cross- sectoral exercise and therefore in clear need of involvement of many actors. The array of actions in the LTP can only be identified, decided upon and implemented in close co-operation with other pan-Baltic organisations and partners from public as well as private sector. Common efforts are needed to fulfil them. Therefore, the LTP invites pan-Baltic organisations, institutions as well as national and regional authorities to co-operate in a transparent and efficient way.
VASAB Long Term Perspective is available for download here.
In order to learn opinions of relevant regional stakeholders on 21 April 2009 VASAB organized stakeholder seminar in Riga, Latvia. Representatives of the EU Commission, HELCOM, CBSS and other organizations and member states discussed policy guidelines and specific actions to achieve territorial cohesion perspective. Presentations of the seminar are available here.
The LTP policy document and background document as well as analytical reports of VASAB working groups that served as a basis for LTP are available here.

A Learning Strategy: Reaching Organizational Goals
Published in
Many organizations have similar approaches in providing learning opportunities. Staff is encouraged to participate in online programs or webinars, attend a conference, and in some cases, take advantage of a tuition assistance program. Others still provide ad hoc programs offered by different business groups providing learning opportunities on internal processes or technical training. This approach doesn't support or foster a learning environment. If you offer such opportunities, but don't have a plan that identifies how learning aligns to organizational goals – and how individual goals contribute to reaching them – then there's an opportunity to create a learning strategy.

Abstract: This study determines the prevalence of types of sicknesses and diseases affecting patients vising health service facilities and the available health services within the Selebi Phikwe Ni-Cu area, Botswana.Through the administration of the questionnaires and structured questions, attempts were made to establish and verify the existing human health problems at the study area by focusing on respiratory tract related symptoms of sicknesses and diseases.With the aid of Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS), interpreted results from respondents indicated that all the health service providers served patients suffering from headaches, persistent coughing, chest pains, lower abdominal pains, pain when passing out urine, genital discharge and diarrhea.Seventy one percent of the health service providers indicated that their patients who suffered from recent loss of body weight, and another 86 % pointed out that their patients had influenza/common cold. Other health complaints reported included unusual spitting, shortness of breath, palpitations, neausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Moreover the health service providers indicated that they had patients who suffered from significant illnesses of which some passed away. However, if they are lacking facilities, patients are referred to bigger health service providers in the country. The findings of the study do not general depict demarcating differnces of health status of residents of the study area to those of the control site. A need therefore for further investigations to be conducted to establish relations of mining activities to human health at Selebi Phikwe is called for.

Abstract: Healthcare waste management continues to present an array of challenges for developing countries, and Botswana is no exception. The possible impact of healthcare waste on public health and the environment has received a lot of attention such that Waste Management dedicated a special issue to the management of healthcare waste (Healthcare Wastes Management, 2005. Waste Management 25(6) 567-665). As the demand for more healthcare facilities increases, there is also an increase on waste generation from these facilities. This situation requires an organised system of healthcare waste management to curb public health risks as well as occupational hazards among healthcare workers as a result of poor waste management. This paper reviews current waste management practices at the healthcare facility level and proposes possible options for improvement in Botswana.

Abstract: This study aimed at establishing occurrences of chest pains and frequent coughing among different classes of residents within Selibe Phikwe, Botswana where there are on going nickel-copper mining and smelting activities. Through the administration of questionnaires and structured question to 600 individuals, 7 health service providers, 200 business enterprises, and 30 educational institutions, attempts were made to establish and verify the existing human health status at Selebi Phikwe by focusing on chest pains and frequent coughing which are considered to be some of the respiratory tract related symptoms of sicknesses and diseases. With the aid of statistical package of social sciences (SPSS), interpreted results from respondents indicated that 33% of the individuals complained of persistent chest pains, and 27% of educational institutions, 45% business enterprises, and all health service providers had learners, workers, and patients who complained of chest pains. Furthermore, 49% of the individuals complained of persistent frequent coughing; and 70% of educational institutions, 45% business interprises, and all health service providers had learners, workers, and patients who complained of frequent coughing. According to study sites, respondents living in sites closest to the mine and smelter/concentrator plant reported a higher incidence of chest pains and frequent coughing, compared to those living in other parts of the study area. Residents associated fumes and dust from mining activities to the frequent coughing and persistent chest pains, which could be symptoms of respiratory tract diseases. This baseline investigation calls for further studies to establish relations of mining activities to human health at Selebi Phikwe. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/379 Files in this item: 1

Good news for Liverpool's bookworms this week, as we've teamed up with the Liverpool City Centre branch of Waterstones the book shop to giveaway free books as part of tomorrow night's World Book Night.
Canter Levin & Berg Solicitors are pleased to announce that Joanne Rowe has been successful in her application to the Law Society's Children Law Accreditation Scheme.
Canter Levin & Berg Solicitors are supporting this year's Liverpool Literary Festival and helping to get books for schools by running our very own creative writing competition "In Other Words" for local primary and secondary school pupils.
Canter Levin & Berg Partner Ian Fitzpatrick is running in next weekend's London Marathon to raise money for the charity Love Kingston.
Canter Levin Berg would like to say 'Congratulations' to Rebecca Flynn from Aintree, who is the lucky winner of our Brazilica Festival competition. Rebecca has won two nights of luxury at the Malmaison hotel Liverpool over the Brazilica Festival weekend. Well done!
Liverpool solicitors Canter Levin & Berg have been hitting new heights to raise funds for the Action For Children charity. Family Law solicitors Ruth Allanson and Jo Rowe abseiled down Leasowe Lighthouse on Sunday, June 10 and to date have risen just shy of £900 for the charity's work in Knowsley.

Mix your mimosa and settle into your hammock, the lazy days of summer have arrived.
June is once again upon us, and this sleepy Magic City slips slowly into its annual summer coma like the quiet summer rain on our rooftop as darkness falls. Awaiting the advent of football season, we slumber in our hammocks, up to our eyeballs in homemade peach cobbler, while visions of quarterbacks dance in our heads.
Your very own Scarlet, not being from the South, but always anxious to follow proper southern etiquette, had to consult a regional expert in southern matters yet again to handle the increasingly complex dilemmas that continue to vex and perplex her, as her very own life (according to an ex beau) is the "vortex of every hurricane" and never seems to fully calm to the summer's more languid pace. If only I had taken up cross-stitching.
I realized this anomaly most recently at an area junior league tea, in which my casual references to my meetings with the FBI, dexterity with my scalpel in the UAB human cadaver lab, and near brush with death when an un-named gunman, dressed as a peanut, fired sniper blogshots at me from a rooftop as I was walking through the front door of the Birmingham Weekly last week drew looks of sheer horror from a gaggle of well coiffed ladies and elicited a pained "Now, Scarlet—exactly where are y'all FROM????" The horrified silence was immediately broken, thankfully, when Minnie May Moneysuckle exclaimed, "Lila Lou-I missed Sunday School this week, but I saw Bucky putting on his seersucker suit for church while I was looking through your window…has he lost weight?" Relief immediately ensued, and the tea party resumed with its animated, vacuous dribble.
Fully cognizant and dismayed that I lacked the necessary conversation skills required to participate appropriately in this non Mensa-sponsored community event, I marched straight into a local bookstore like any good southern girl and marched straight out with the following books to dutifully begin my summer reading in earnest:
"Mindless, Vacuous Dribble for Beginners", "Mile High Cobbler Recipes: Ensuring Your Family Has Diabetes for Generations to Come", and "Football. Football. Football".
Alas, if only the commotion outside my window would quiet down at night and an earnest southern belle in training could get some summer reading done! You see, dear readers, it is normally quite tranquil and sublime in the Villa where I now reside, but where Scarlet goes….commotion ensues, apparently. In fact, I believe that the Fabulous La Donna of the Manor is calling me now…
LaDonna: "Scarlet! Do you hear that noise? It sounds like gunfire."
Scarlet: "Oh, dear God. Is he dressed like a peanut?"
LaDonna: "No, I don't believe so…"
Scarlet: "Is he short and screaming in German?"
LaDonna: "No."
Scarlet:" Is he tall and screaming in Italian?"
LaDonna: "No.
Scarlet :" Is it my divorce attorney with his U Haul carrying my bill?"
LaDonna: "No…..wait- it is someone climbing up the fig tree with a bottle of Torreon de Paredes Carmenere Reserva Privada…trying to get inside a window…."
Scarlet: " Oh…. That's just Anonymous. Let him in."
And so the sun sets once again in our sleepy Magic City over the magnolia trees…where the tea is sweeter…where some things simply never change…
And we like it that way.
Until next time,

A lease is a legal agreement between you and the person (or company) from whom you rent. Leases obligate you and your landlord to particular commitments.
The most important obligation of your lease is the length of your stay. When you sign a lease, you agree to rent the apartment for a certain period of time. This means that you must pay the rent on the apartment for the entire time of your lease. Apartment leases typically last for one year.
Your lease obligation applies whether you live in the apartment or not. If you choose to leave before your lease is up, your landlord may legally collect the rent you owe for the time remaining on your lease. So, before you sign, be very sure that you can meet the terms of your rental agreement.
Why sublease? You may find good deals. If you are looking for housing only during the summer months, or during a period when the original tenant will be gone for a few months (to study abroad perhaps), the original tenant may be willing to negotiate the rent in order to keep the lease and have a place to return to after the summer or study abroad program. It's worth asking!

CARTHAGE, MO.--- Pleasant Valley Elementary Teacher, Amy Collier, and a parent buy food to stock the "Snack Box" in her classroom, to make sure her students aren't going hungry.
Another way they help prevent hunger is through the Backpack Program, sending weekend meals home with nearly 150 kids.
"Right now, unfortunately we have some students that would benefit from the Backpack Program but we're not able to at this time," says Scott Ragsdale, Pleasant Valley Elementary.
Resources are limited. There are about 30 elementary and 60 middle school kids whose needs can't be met consistently.
"We only have a finite funding source for helping meet those needs. We do the best with the funds we have received," says Ragsdale.
So they look to donations to support the program, as well as other ways to make sure students don't worry about hunger.
"I personally look around the school district at students who are in need," says Ragsdale.
That includes handing out food baskets filled with food for the holidays. It is work, but Collier says it's a labor of love, being a teacher means more to her than just helping with academics.
"You just meet the needs that they have, whether it's filling a backpack full of food or finding a pair of shoes that they're going to need," says Collier.
If you would like to help the Carthage School District meet the weekend food backpack need, contact the Carthage Bright Futures Program.

Officials expect to sign a $3 million contract with the African nation of Kenya soon, The Athens Banner-Herald reported.
Athens Technical College and two other system colleges — including Georgia Northwestern Technical College — already are working with Saudi Arabia's King Faisal University under an $8 million contract, TCSG Commissioner Ron Jackson said recently.
The contract with King Faisal University is set to help create a new community college and expand workforce training in Saudi Arabia.
He said other Saudi Arabian universities also are interested in contracting with the Georgia technical college system.
"(These opportunities) are so potentially lucrative for the system I think we cannot not look at them in an entrepreneurial way," Jackson told the board of the technical college system at a recent meeting.
Craig McDaniel, president of GNTC, said the fact that foreign officials are selecting the TCSG to help them is special.
"It's an honor," McDaniel said. "I think it speaks well of the system. They could have gone any place on the planet but they chose the Technical College System of Georgia and our college to be a part of it."
Representatives from King Faisal University approached the system in 2012 and toured GNTC as well as Athens Technical College and Atlanta Technical College.
"Really, the fact that we have a system of 25 colleges who have focused on workforce development is what is bringing the attention to Georgia," McDaniel said. "And that is the result of the hard work of our faculty and staff and what they do day to day."
McDaniel will be leaving his post at GNTC on April 1 to become assistant commissioner for the TCSG's International Center in Atlanta.
In his new role, McDaniel will work with the presidents of technical colleges to create the foundation for the system to become involved in international projects.
The International Center for Technical Education provides program development for collaborations between TCSG colleges and higher education systems in other countries.
Under the existing contract with King Faisal University, administrators and teachers at the participating system colleges are setting up a new school, King Faisal University Community College, in Saudi Arabia.
McDaniel said phase one of the partnership — teaching English as a second language courses — has been going on since the fall. Phase two, which is actually offering Associate of Applied Science degrees, is in the near future.
Jackson said Kenyan officials aren't asking for a new school, but help in setting up a curriculum for technical colleges.
Staff writer Jeremy Stewart contributed to this report.

Why Must the Church Engage in Scientific Discourse?
In this video conversation, Os Guinness addresses the question of why it is essential for Christians to engage in scientific discourse. Resistance, skepticism, and hostility to science are not biblical precepts, but views that originated from Christian movements that emerged in the 19th century.
A Mediating Voice
In today's video, theologian Dr. Chris Tilling discusses the need for a mediating voice in the science and faith discussion: "The problem is that not all Scripture wants to be read literally, and to do so is to bypass some of the truth contained in it."
The Collapsing Universe in the Bible
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
Navigating the Crises
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
Science as an Instrument of Worship
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
The How of Creation: Parameters for Gracious and Fruitful Dialogue
Hastings provides a biblical and theological basis for healthy and fruitful dialogue on the theology and science of origins.
You Are the Sun
As a scientist, I find this song particularly compelling because not only is the science on which the song draws completely accurate, but the scientific understanding of the nature of the physical sun and moon is critical to how Groves plays out the metaphor.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: Owen Gingerich
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
In today's video, Brian McClaren talks about reconciliation in the face of differences. He offers insight into how to treat those whose opinions differ from yours and points out how to have constructive dialogue.
Ephesians 4:7-16: Moving the Science/Faith Discussion Forward
In this essay, Hastings looks at "front edge" areas for promoting healthy dialogue in the field of science and Christian theology, areas which are specifically theological in nature.
Understanding the Humanity of Jesus
The first question for Wright is, "What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that western 21st century evangelicals have about Jesus, and how does it stunt their understanding and witness?"
Calvin and Wesley: Making Peace with Competing Approaches
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter notes the inherent strengths of both Calvinist and Wesleyan faith traditions. In fact, he points out that what are often cast as "competing" approaches really are complementary rather than at odds with one another.
The Church Must Not Ignore the Evidence
In this video conversation, Kathryn Applegate discusses the implications for the church if we ignore scientific developments.
Why Must the Church Come to Accept Evolution?
In this video conversation, renowned Old Testament scholar, Biblical translator and expositor Bruce Waltke discusses the danger the Church will face if it does not engage with the world around it, in particular with the issue of evolution, which many evangelicals still reject.

Personal Stories
Kajal, India
In the Mumbai slum where Kajal lives, open sewers flood during the monsoon and rotting rubbish mountains grow ever bigger. But Kajal is still full of optimism for her future.
She recently became an assistant peer leader with a charity called Magic Bus, which is funded by Comic Relief. She works with slum children aged seven to nine, teaching them football, and helping them understand the importance of going to school, as well as good hygiene, respect and discipline.
21 million people live in Mumbai and more than half live in slums which are desperately overcrowded. In this intensely packed and unsanitary environment, only 1 in every 1,000 people has access to a toilet, so disease is rife.
Most slum children don't go to school beyond the age of 10 and they end up becoming child labourers just to earn enough money to stay alive.
Magic Bus reaches out to these youngsters and their families and shows them the value of getting an education. Their parents are encouraged to send them to school and make sure that they study hard. Project workers show them that a good education can lead to well paid work, which in turn will help the whole family financially.
Thanks to this project, thousands of slum children are now growing up with the chance of a much brighter future.
Kajal, Magic Bus
"Magic Bus has really helped me and now I want to pass it on and help the little ones."

so i have learned that i have a massive over growth of creeping charlie. absolutely horrid. not really having an easy time getting rid of it either. I have applied once weed b gone but not much has happened, after a month! the creeping charlie has since bloomed (small purple flowers) it does appear to be weaker in some areas but i have dense clay soil and not sure what else to do. please help | |||
By "massive overgrowth", are you saying that it's covering most of your yard, or it's growing amongst the grass, or in unplanted areas? About what size is the bed of creeping charlie? And in what area of the country do you live? These are factors which could dictate how to get rid of it. | ||||
| ||||
I have just under a quarter of an acre and more than 50% is occupied by the creeping charlie. there is no grass in this areas, it appears to have been 'choked out' must have happened over time. I am told that creeping charlie comes from neglect, not sure if its true or not but i just bought this house last year and am working in it just now. i know that it sat unoccupied for at least 2yrs but could be longer than that. I live in st paul, MN. please share what you know... | ||||
thanks for the link i will also take a look at this. | ||||
I thought if you had a small yard you could use a scuffle hoe or solarize it, but 1/2 or a 1/4 acre field might be too large for a solution meant for limited areas of growth. I don't really have any good suggestions for large areas other than what I discuss below. Creeping charlie, or ground ivy, is I think more of an opportunistic than invasive plant. If it doesn't have significant competition, it will take hold. It can spread into lawn, but then it's easily controlled just by mowing. I just hand weed mine or scuffle hoe and compost mine, but I don't have that much of it, probably not more than 300 - 400 square feet of it. I suspect there either wasn't much grass in your yard initially or it wasn't firmly established, which allowed the charlie to expand and colonize. So neglect may have been a factor, but from my experience if there had been a good lawn and it was kept mowed, the charlie wouldn't have made much progress. Given that the house was vacant for 2 years, there was probably no maintenance at all of the yard, allowing the ground cover to grow rampantly and choke out whatever else was there. If your house is new, there might not even have been any sod laid down. The article Joe cited states that if you apply herbicide for this particular plant, it should be done in the fall, so you still have spring and summer to deal with it. I only have a few suggestions: 1. I have used white vinegar with limited success for isolated weeds. You could try pouring white vinegar on a small test area and see how and if it works. 2. You could solarize it. Cover it with plastic, anchored down with stones or bricks or something to ensure that the plastic covers the area thoroughly. Depending on how much sun and heat you have, the solarizing will eventually kill the plants. Then you could use a scuffle hoe to remove the dead plants, making sure to "scuffle" deep enough to remove the root system. http://www.gardeners.com/Hula-...-926,default,pd.html (also referred to here as a hula hoe). Scuffle hoes come in different configurations. The one I've found to be best for dislodging deep rooted plants is the one pictured in the link, with a closed hoe end. It's not a fixed hoe but moves perhaps 180 degrees backward and forward, allowing it to penetrate several inches into the soil and sever or uproot plants. They become caught in the hoe and are easily pulled up. (Think of the action of mopping a floor and imagine that the mop can penetrate several inches below the surface). Depending on whether the yard is visible to passersby and you're concerned about how this option might look, you could also use newspaper and/or cardboard in what gardeners call "lasagna gardening." Layers are laid down and watered, and eventually decompose and improve the soil, which clay soil would need before you could plant grass seed. This does take a while though, and it's somewhat unsightly. There's also no guarantee that all the ground ivy beneath the paper or cardboard would be killed. 3. You could plant a competitive plant to smother it. Annual morning glories, vining pumpkins and vining squash come to mind. The pumpkins and squash wouldn't smother it completely, so you'd probably have some ivy left but there would be less of it and you could scuffle hoe it out. If you plant just morning glories, divide your yard into smaller sections, such as 12 x 12, clear the perimeter of the charlie and plant morning glories. Let them grow along and over the ivy, smothering it. The morning glories won't kill all of the ground ivy, but they will choke out some of it, depending on how densely you plant them. Surprisingly enough, morning glories can be very effective in killing other plants. I discovered accidentally that they'll kill a mulberry tree, one of the hardest trees to eradicate. Apparenly they smother the bark and prevent it from getting air. The one thing I wouldn't do is rototill it as you would just be tilling it under and it will likely resurface, especially if the purple flowers have set seed. Hope this helps. | ||||

Unity and Rochester Rockets ready to take off to state
By: Austin Kim
Updated: November 19, 2012
Maroa-Forsyth will also advance and play in the 1A title game.
Scott Hamilton has taken his team to the title game three other times, but each time, he's come up short. He's hoping the team's optimism will help carry them over the hump. It also helps that the Rockets do not need to travel far, as the high school is only nine miles from Memorial Stadium in Champaign.
Derek Leonard's squad has three-peat on its mind. The Rockets from Rochester beat down Harrisburg in the semi-finals. Leonard praised his team after the win, and harped on their focus on every single game. The coach said it is easy for his team to get complacent because everyone outside the program expects them to win the title. But he said the team has kept it together and has the ingredients for another state title.

Times Square billboards answer a high-brow calling: Art
"It doesn't have to be in a gallery, which can be kind of alienating for a lot of people," he said. "It can be fun, it can by dynamic and it can be very public. And the experience of the actual seeing of art can be fun and intriguing and all the ways that the austerity of a gallery kind of loses. That's not to say that galleries are bad—they're not mutually exclusive—but there's another way to do it that can include a lot more people in a bigger, louder, more dynamic way." More
