Sixteen years ago actor Woody Harrelson decided to climb the Golden Gate Bridge with a bunch of environmental activists to protest the logging of redwood forests in Northern California.
The two-time Academy Award nominee thought it was pure craziness that, as a society, we're fine with cutting down trees just so we can make products—namely paper—that are used once and then just tossed away as trash.
Since then, it has been Harrelson's dream to find an economical, efficient and eco-friendly way to make paper that doesn't rely on wood pulp.
"Maybe my name should have tipped me off to what my future would be," the actor joked earlier this month during a phone interview from Atlanta, where he's currently shooting the sequel to The Hunger Games.
"If you think about it, over half of all paper used is just used temporarily," he explained, adding that much of it comes from ancient and threatened forests, including Canada's boreal forest. "I'd like to see that changed."
Harrelson, in fact, is more than just seeing that change. As co-founder of Canadian cleantech venture Prairie Pulp & Paper, he's helping to lead it. The Winnipeg-based company has developed a cost-competitive approach to making paper out of wheat straw – the stuff that farmers often burn as left-behind field waste.
To Harrelson's delight, Prairie P&P is starting to get some serious commercial traction after 14 years of working to perfect its patented recipe and process. In August, for example, the company's "Step Forward Paper" – a mix of 80 per cent wheat straw and 20 per cent Forest Stewardship Council-certified sustainable wood – hit the shelves in Staples Canada stores as part of a partnership with environmental group Canopy.
Its next challenge was to show the broader marketplace the degree to which its paper is more sustainable. Earlier this year, the company commissioned a lifecycle environmental impact study from carbon management firm Offsetters.
The final report, publicly released today, found that the process of making Prairie P&P's straw paper consumes on average half the energy as paper made from 100 per cent virgin wood. At the same time, it emits at least 40 per cent less greenhouse-gas emissions.
On most metrics – energy use, wastewater production, and emissions – it also beat paper made of 30 per cent recycled materials by a significant margin. Only 100 per cent recycled paper came close to matching the straw paper's environmental footprint.
"In and of itself this product sets a new eco-standard for paper," Jeff Golfman, co-founder and president of Prairie P&P, said in a recent interview.
So how did a famous Hollywood actor with the name Woody end up becoming the co-founder of a Manitoba company trying to reduce our use of wood? The seed of the venture was planted in 1998 when Harrelson began researching the market.
"I had a meeting with this engineer who is very knowledgeable about the making of non-wood pulp and paper mills," Harrelson recounted. "I asked him who was the closest to making this happen in North America. He turned me on to Jeff."
The engineer, it turned out, was working for Golfman, who had been travelling the world assembling a team of technical folks capable of making good on his own straw paper vision.
Golfman, an honours graduate in business administration from the Richard Ivey School of Business, is a self-described environmentalist and eco-entrepreneur who 20 years ago developed the Blue Box recycling program for the City of Winnipeg. After that, he started a company that manufactures "sweat shop free" furniture before moving on to tree-free paper.
"Woody heard about what I was up to," recalled Golfman. "And literally 24 hours later I was on the phone with him chatting about it." Two weeks later he was on a plane to Boston to meet Harrelson in person, and 48 hours after that they shook on a deal.
Harrelson became one of the company's main investors. "We've been business partners ever since," said Golfman, adding that funds have also been received through the federal and Manitoba governments, as well as Sustainable Development Technology Canada.
Harrelson, who in 2009 received an honorary degree from York University for his contributions to environmental education, described their first meeting as a "great talk" that convinced him of Golfman's commitment to the project. "I could just tell with his energy and positivity that he was the guy who could move this paper forward."
And move it forward he has. The company is working exclusively with a pulp and paper mill in India that has so far produced 40 million sheets of Step Forward Paper, which looks and feels just like any other printer-quality paper on the market.
Golfman's plan over the next five years is to build a production facility in Manitoba capable of making paper that is 95 per cent wheat straw and 5 per cent flax, both of which would be sourced locally from the Canadian prairies.
At the same time, the company aims to build awareness of the product throughout Canada and the United States over the next two years, eventually moving into Central and South America. The Canadian facility will serve those regions, while the mill in India will continue to supply Asian, African and European customers.
"We've got a lot of work to do," said Golfman.
Harrelson is hyped about the prospect of seeing paper come from farmers, not forests. "To me this is a big one," he said. "This one has been a long-term dream and I'm excited about where it's at right now."
And he gives due props to his Canadian partner. "It's incredible how far Jeff has come with this."

I take care of roofing leaks, shingles blown off the roof, and other roof repairs. Small jobs are Albert's Specialty, but I will do larger ones sometimes. I specialize in "Ole Style" Tin, Slate, Copper, and Steel roofing. As a Slate Repair Specialist, I specialize in finding leaks on roofs, new or old. Slate and copper roofs are my specialties. I stay busy as a slate repair person. Properly installed Copper and Slate roofs are sure to last hundreds of years and increase of value of your home. These 'green' roofs have been in Europe for hundreds of years and the homes are often passed down for generation after generation. So can yours. A proper repair will last a lifetime. Copper flashing, copper nails, and correctly bibbing slate will last 40-100+ years. The only real limiting factor is corrosion from acid rain. I can also make temporary repairs to protect your investment until you can make permanent repairs. The correct repair will also add value to your property. It isn't a patch. It restores that portion of your roof to a like new condition.

Roof leaks have serious consequences. They damage the dwelling directly. Indirectly, they create a natural habitat for mold, mildew, fungus, and other health damaging spores. Leaks should be corrected as soon as possible. The monetary damage can escalate exponentially in record time.
It is raining pretty heavy today so I checked out the vent pipe holes in our attic. There is no leaking. It is so refreshing to work with someone who has a passion for their work and does a great job...Thank you again!
"I reside in Long Island, NY & had the pleasure of speaking with Frank regarding water damage caused by bad trim work around my windows on my two year old home & shed. It's unfortunate that I am having this trouble but it's a relief to know that there are people out there like Frank who care enough to do things right the first time. I truly appreciate his guidance & wish he was local because it's very difficult to find people who care about their craft the way Frank does. Also the website is very informative. Thank you Frank for your help & referrals."
I just got an e-mail from the Outer Banks after Hurricane Earl passed through. I had done a repair there some time back.
"Just wanted to say Hi to you and let you know that after Earl passed by Friday we were DRY No leaks. We had gusts up to 80 mph and it rained cats and dogs for 8 or more hours. I can't even express how nice it was not to worry about that corner leaking. Tell your wife Hello ( I know her name but my mind has gone blank) take care and again Thanks for a job well done."

Atlanta Urological Group has been a part of the downtown Atlanta, Georgia, community for more than half a century. With the experience of Dr. Thomas W. Schoborg, specialist in urology, we offer special expertise in the treatment of:
Kidney stones may be as small as a grain of sand or larger than a golf ball. Some stones stay in the kidney where they produce no symptoms, others may break loose and travel down the urinary tract. Kidney stones can become lodged in the ureter, bladder, or urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) which can cause severe pain, block the urine flow, and may cause waste to back up into the kidneys. Such a condition must be corrected swiftly, either by surgically removing the blocking kidney stone or by nonsurgical procedures that break it up and allow it to pass out of the body naturally.
Male infertility has many diagnostic steps and even more treatment options. Neurologic evaluation, drug therapy, surgical therapy, assisted reproduction technologies (ART) and electroejaculation are all possibilities in the treatment of male infertility.
Prostate cancer is often described as a disease of men over age 50. A man's chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime are about 1 in 10. As a result of new test methods, prostate cancer can be detected early in its development, often long before symptoms appear.
In addition to these subspecialties, Dr. Schoborg offers diagnosis and treatment of general urological conditions such as: incontinence, erectile dysfunction, kidney stones, prostate cancer, male infertility, interstitial cystitis, kidney cancer, Peyronie's disease, varicocele, vasectomy, testicular cancer, urinary tract infections, testosterone deficiency, etc.

Well, I have a new favorite pedestrian.
This presumably quite drunk pedestrian somewhere in Asia (this LiveLeak post claims Kyrgyzstan) makes a valiant stand for jaywalkers everywhere, boldly asserting his entitlement to the road to be shared with cars. At least until his friend picks him up and drags him to safety.
I'm not sure how the LAPD would take to seeing this video.

Dezi Really Loves the Phone
So meez told you 'bout me alertin' mommy afur she passes out and 'bout me learnin' da awrt of massage. And sumpawdy sent us an email and asked how long afur mommy passes out did me alert her. They was a little concerned 'bout hers dwivin'. We must pawlogize cuz dat be sumfin' we normally include when tellin' 'bout me but this time we just furgot. Me alerts 'bout 20 – 30 minutes afur mommy passes out. Purrlenty of time fur her to get sum where to sit down or pull over ifin she's actually dwivin', so she can be safe. Mommy wuld never wanna be wespawnsible fur causin' sumpawdy else to have to live like she duz. There awe days when mommy be passin' out "more" than "normal" and on those days, she won't dwive at all cuz she dusn't twust hers selff. Since we be alone and don't have anypawdy to help us, it's necessary fur mommy to continue to drive. But twust me, mommy takes gweat care when she duz. So fanks fur askin' and we hope we cleared dat up fur ya'. We also got an email askin' ifin mommy had any fotos dat showed meez size compared to Lexi back then. Mommy be panicin' cuz she can't find our fotos. Back then weez only had a 35mm camewa so everyfin' was purrinted and she hadn't had a chance to get them all put onto da puter. So me knows what she's gunna be duin' this weekend. Anyways, here's da only foto we did have on da puter to show a size comparison.
As me stawrted gwoin' and getting' bigger and heavier mommy continued to teach me to push da fone buttons and meow at peeps on da udder end. PURRLEASE MEMBER it's illegal to call 911 ifin yous not have an actual mergency. So ifin yous plan on twainin' yous anipal to dial da fone…UNPLUG IT furst. Mommy also had to contact da fone company and fill out a cawd wiff instwuctions dat be attached to our nummer dat tells da 911 operator to send help ifin she/he gets a call fwum our nummer wiff kitties meowin'. You might check wiff yous fone company to see ifin they have sumfin' similar. This applies to land lines only! Cell fones awe a whole diffewent "animal". We don't use a cell fone so weez not know da rules or purrcedures.
All dat twainin' wiff da fone made me weally like it. You can talk to peeps fwum anywhere. Is dat not amazin'? And me luvs carryin' da fone to mommy. So much so dat in da beginnin' me made a lot of oopsies. As soon as meez paws kuld push da buttons down me wuld answer da fone everytime it rang. Or at least twy to. Mommy got purretty quick at gwabbin' it so me kuldn't push da button. She sed there awe sum peeps dat need to leave messages and there awe sumtimes she dusn't wanna talk on da fone. Me just kuldn't unnewstand why she didn't wanna talk everytime sumpawdy called. So much so dat everytime da fone rang and mommy wasn't near it, me wuld gwab it and push da button and most of da time me wuld dwag it to wherever mommy was. Which leads me to todays stowry.
Me was 'bout 6 or 7 mumffs old and was able to push da buttons and dwag da fone. Mommy puts da belt loop holder on da handsets and me can gwab dat wiff meez mouff and carry it. Anyways this one afternoon we was all in da pawdee box room and mommy was…well you know, she was indisposed. And da fone stawrted ringin'. (There awe sum nummers dat mommy has assigned a specific ring to so she knows who be callin' just by hearin' da fone ring.) So mommy knew zactly who was callin' when da fone stawrted up, and me headed fur it. And mommy stawrted to holler, "Dezi, leave the phone alone. Dezi!!! Don't touch that phone!!! Dezi, don't you dare push that button. No baby, leave the phone where it is."
Well me kuld plainly see dat mommy kuldn't get to da phone and so me weally did fink me was bein' helpful. Me had alweady pushed da button so da purrson on da udder end kuld hear everyfin' dat was goin' on, and me was half way to mommy when she yelled one last time. "Dezi, Drop That Phone!!!" So me dwopped da fone wight there in da floor and headed back to da pawdee box room to be wiff mommy and sis Lexi. Mommy sez fankfully da purrson on da udder end hung up cuz it was our neighbor Mr. W. (sissy and me don't weally like Mr. W so ifin hims had sed anyfin' while me was carryin' da fone me wuld have dwopped it to hiss at him.) MOL Mommy sed me still needed lots of twainin', cuz me was posed to lissen and leave da fone alone ifin she told me too. Well, weez'll see was meez answer to mommys more twainin' statement. Me finks weez'll wrap fur today and tell ya' more next time.
Don't furget to enter our give away fur dat pawsum PetSafe FroliCat Flik toy. Yous can do so here. It's open to all U.S, residents and you have till 11:59 p.m. CST Furiday 7/24/15 to enter. We have more pawsum give aways comin' up so be sure yous followin' us by email so yous not miss anyfin'.

A few noteworthy links and stories for your midweek perusal…plus a freebie at the bottom.
****College Art Association (CAA) has made eighty-one audio recordings from the panels at last month's conference in Chicago available for download. They're kind of expensive ($149.95 for the complete Set of CAA 2010 Conference Recordings on Interactive MP3 Audio CD-ROM or MP3 download; $24.95 for an individual panel MP3 download), but if you couldn't come up with the cash to attend the conference in full, like moi, this could be a great way to access the panels you missed in person. I'll be choosy, but will most likely buy at least one.
****"Palestinian Avatars": This is fascinating; apparently, the movie Avatar and its indigenous aliens the Na'vi have been appropriated by Palestinian rights activists, who painted themselves blue and wore costumes inspired by the Na'vi during a recent protest in Bil'in, a Palestinian town divided in half by the wall. This post on Provisions Library provides further background along with some pretty brilliant analysis: "The most striking aspect of this re-appropriation of a distinctly American, Avatar meme, is the irony. And right across the barbed-wire fence opposite from Bil'in are Israeli soldiers whose weapons supplied by American taxpayers. So, as Joseph Nye would explain, that's an example of U.S. "hard power." Then, on the other side, the Palestinians to score by appropriating imagery siphoned with sophistication from the mighty currents of American "soft power." Wow. Elsewhere, you can find additional photographs of what's been dubbed the "Palestinian Avatar" protests here, along with a video of the demonstration.
****Artnet's Charlie Finch asks "Who is Dakis Joannou?" Finch speculates that Joannou's future as the Chairman of J&P (Overseas) and J&P-AVAX, both publicly traded Greek companies, "could yield two divergent prospects for a complex, interlocking business, dependent on amortization and wide debt-to-capital ratios. The first is that Dakis is smart enough and aggressive enough to take advantage of buying opportunities during a worldwide recession and increase his bottom line significantly. The second is that J&P is so overleveraged and so dependent on the luxury market that it is at serious risk of default, should its capital pipeline dry up. J&P's low stock price would indicate a potential problem in this area." If it's the latter, it's probably safe to assume that Joannou may indeed peel off some of that Skin Fruit in the not-so-distant future.
****Ikea plans to commission major works by contemporary artists Piotr Uklanski, Jeppe Hein and Jim Lambie for its "airport-sized," Moscow-based development slated for 2012.
****Auction sales for work by African-American artists surged at recent Swann sale, and the market for art by African Americans continues to grow.
****The Grand Rapids Art Museum will present GRAM and Ox-Bow: Joint Centennial Celebration Exhibition and Artist Series this summer. 30+ artists from throughout Ox-Bow's history will be featured at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in a special exhibition. (via Curated).
****I Like Your Work: Art and Etiquette: a pamphlet published by the contemporary art journal Paper Monument, addresses the topic of "manners in the art world" via interviews with 38 artists, critics, curators and dealers. Read this excerpt, a series of questions about art-world politesse posed to artists Michelle Grabner and Ryan Steadman, online here.
****Ohhhhh. So. Incredibly. Beautiful: An Elizabethan Bestiary: Retold. Go click on this one right away, you won't be disappointed.
****I am not one of those women who is "into shoes", but Dezeen's top ten list of past shoe features makes me wish I were a bit more of a fetishist when it comes to this particular area of my body. Though no way in hell would I ever wear these french bread loafers.
****Jokes: Philosophical Thoughts on Joking Matters, by Ted Cohen, is now available for free download at The University of Chicago Press website – for the month of March only. (The Chicago Blog). The U of C Press offers a free downloadable book each month, so check back to see what else they'll have available for you in the future!
****An exhibition of Grateful Dead paraphernalia opens at the New York Historical Society…and no, its not that kind of paraphernalia.
****And finally….all you need to know about Professional Female Stoners. This is not, unfortunately, a description of an up-and-coming growth sector in the jobs market.

Has anyone played the strategy RPG "Expeditions: Conquistador"? It's about a band of Spanish conquistadors exploring the New World and reminds me a lot of the Banner Saga. It's a mix of turn-based strategy battles, choose your own adventure style plotlines and surviving and exploring in the jungle wilderness. The hex-based combat system doesn't look nearly as complicated as the Banner Saga, the combat seems to be about hiding behind cover (and line of sight) and using lots of special abilities to your advantage. Each of your units has different personality traits and will get upset if you make decisions they disagree with. The game also seems to involve lot of micro-managing, where every night when you camp you have to decide who is guarding your camp, who is scouting, who is hunting, who is making meat into provisions and who is making medicine from local herbs. The game tries to be realistic, where wounded units will get sick and die unless you have medicine and a doctor, and where the harsh jungle climate is as dangerous as the natives you are fighting.
It sounds interesting, but I'm glad stoic decided not to make the travel mechanisms of their game as complicated. Apparently a big part of the game is resource management, and making sure you expedition always has enough supplies. I like their idea of Stoic creating different events when you have bad morale, instead of just applying a combat penalty to your units (which is what this game does).
Expeditions: Conquistador was created with the help of a kickstater campaign as well, and considering they only raised $77,247 the game looks pretty impressive. I've been thinking of downloading the game to distract myself until Banner Saga is released. The developers look like they have been very diligent at patching and improving the game since it's release. Have anyone around here played it? I'd be curious to hear what you thoughts.

Cramping, gastrointestinal (GI) distress, nausea, vomiting: sometimes a hard workout or a tough race is memorable for all the wrong reasons. You may think these reactions are part of the endless joy of being a triathlete but there are steps you can take to limit them, or even keep them at bay.
A common problem
Exercise-induced nausea, to use the technical term, is common in endurance athletes. "There can be many causes and contributing circumstances, and there is a large component of individuality," says Australian professional triathlete and nutritionist Pip Taylor. "Everyone will react to and tolerate things
If you've taken in too much or not enough electrolytes or fluids, you may feel nauseous. "Also, drinking too much water can cause an electrolyte imbalance, which can also lead to nausea," says Taylor.
Having a race-day nutrition plan is the best step for combating exercise-induced nausea. Some athletes set their watch to beep when it's time to take in fluids. "Develop a fluid and electrolyte plan based on your sweat rate/concentration but also be prepared to be flexible and react to environmental conditions as well as how you are feeling," says Taylor.
Race rehearsal
It is important to practise your race-day plan because your body may react to the gels, bars and electrolytes you use when you are racing at a higher heart rate (race pace) than is usual when you're training. "Practise eating during training. Try to eat what and when you would during a race," recommends Taylor.
It is also important to monitor your blood sugar levels to make sure they are on an even keel. "Low blood sugar levels will leave you feeling dizzy and nauseous but eating too much will also cause you to feel sick, especially if you then try to work out or race," says Taylor.
Eating your pre-workout or pre-race meal a few hours before is also key to keeping symptoms at bay. "A high concentration or volume in the gut slows down gastric emptying, meaning you will not only feel sick but the fuel and fluids consumed will not reach working muscles anyway," says Taylor. "Give yourself time to digest and absorb your food even when you are feeling anxious."
She suggests that if you have symptoms of exercise-induced nausea, you should stick to foods you know and that are on the bland side. Another suggestion is trying a liquid meal that your stomach may be able to digest more easily.
Medicinal causes
There medicines we use every day that may also cause the nausea. "The body's systems become more sensitive to any irritants when under physical, emotional or mental stress, all of which can occur in racing or hard training," says Taylor. Taking pain-relieving drugs may also irritate the stomach before races.
The physical demands on the body on race day and your overall level of fitness may also influence your tendency to feel nauseous after or during a race.
"High-intensity efforts place the body's systems under a lot of stress and this is when you are most likely to experience nausea or sickness," says Taylor. "Being well trained helps you cope better with this physical demand."
Stress test
Other influences include humidity, heat and the stress of race day. "Stress may come from performance anxiety or the physical stress of exercise on the body," says Taylor. "Both can play havoc with the gastrointestinal system and lead to symptoms of GI distress. Heat, cold and altitude can also exacerbate this stress. So stay cool and hydrated in hot conditions, wrap up when it is very cold and try to relax if you become anxious about racing."
For Joe Vrablik, a triathlete based in Boulder, Colorado, the combination of heat and humidity is his bête noire. "The majority of the time it hits me on the run," he says.
Vrablik often notices signs of impending unpleasantness late into the bike or the beginning of the run. "I can feel 'off' for a random period of time, without it going any further than that," he says. "Sometimes, though, it just hits me. If it's the early phase, a GU or some Gatorade will help settle me down," he says. "If it goes beyond that, I'll walk it out for a bit."
Get help
If no self-help remedy is working, Taylor recommends talking to a doctor or a nutritionist.

Here's another example (the Scientific American articles focus not solely on young earth creationists but other science deniers too):
https://answersingenesis.org/creationis ... in-europe/
On AiG's homepage, where this article by Simon Turpin is flagged, they state: "Recently the magazine Scientific American published two articles accusing creationists of being anti-science and lamenting the supposed threat to science". Well, young earth creationists are indeed anti-science and if they deny it they are being untruthful. They might enjoy scientific topics but they steadfastly deny reams of evidence-based conclusions about the past (and sometimes the present too) derived via the scientific method and published in peer-reviewed literature by the international scientific community. For reasons of 'divine authority', doctrine and dogma. Not for scientific reasons.
Turpin asks "But is the reason that people reject evolution that they have not been sufficiently educated about it? Or could it be that people do understand evolution and reject it because they rightly understand its claims?" I suspect it's either the former or it's that the people concerned are religious (Christian or Muslim in particular) and may also have been indoctrinated by organisations like Answers in Genesis that evolution (and deep time) are theories (or 'not even proper theories just conjectures and stories') that are 'in crisis' but which scientists and educators 'cling onto' nevertheless because they are 'anti-God' or 'anti-Christian' and refuse to accept the alleged validity of young earth creationism.
In the quotation by Mark Harrison that is cited, Harrison does not use the word 'worldview' and even if he had he would not have been using it they way AiG use it - ie as in this article: https://answersingenesis.org/worldview/ Harrison simply voiced his opinion that some beliefs about what the early Earth was like are not based upon any 'observational evidence'. The article in The Atlantic concludes:
"Wadhwa says lunar samples and zircon samples are so limited that we still can't paint a full picture of the Earth's turbulent early days. In one sense, everyone might be a little bit right. Earth might have been nice and calm in the time between major impacts. Or some areas might have been molten, while some areas might have been solid and covered in oceans, she says.
One thing is clear, however: Harrison says there has never been any evidence to support the canonical hellish vision of magma lakes and tar-colored volcanos showered in fiery meteors.
"There is absolutely not a single scrap of observational evidence that requires that scenario ever took place. We as a scientific community created an origin myth that has no more intellectual value than 1 Genesis," Harrison says. "Although we're very quick to criticize those that operate on faith, that's exactly what we did."" If they created a 'myth' it was not a 'worldview' inspired myth based upon "using the Bible to explain the evidence" - which is what the anti-science apologists at AiG advocate in that website article linked to above. Evidence should be explained and understood by what science has already learnt or observed - NOT based upon any ancient religious book. According to the 'naturalism' that YECs and others hate.
Turpin alleges: "Rejecting Darwinian evolution is not rejecting science but rejecting an ideology." The exact same thing is true of the 'Biblical creationism' put forward by AiG (and other similar outfits - which is not always entirely homogenous). They are putting forward ideology. Rejecting the 'Biblical creationism' of AiG (which is not 'the Bible' but apologetics and science rejection loosely based upon the Bible) is not rejecting science but rejecting an ideology based upon biblical theism.
AiG try to set up a false equivalence between naturalism and (their) biblical theism when doing science.

Children playing at the Washington Park playground (Hill District), c. 1907
At the turn of the last century, it wasn't the aim of playgrounds to provide fun for children. Back then, playgrounds were part of a clear social and educational agenda. The Playground Movement and the American Settlement Movement (an important progressive reform initiative at the end of the 19th century) fought both for the improvement of the mental and physical health in lower-income classes and immigrants.
The Playground Association of America, founded in 1906, spread the idea of structured play in the American cities. As Boston reformer Joseph Lee declared in 1907, "organized recreation is one of the building blocks of the republic. Properly equipped and run by a good leader of 'a high personal type' the playground is 'a school of all civic virtues.'" Streets were described as a "school of crime." Playgrounds were therefore perceived as tools to civilize children. Other instruments included gymnasiums, educational storytelling, and free and fresh milk for schoolchildren. In the case of Pittsburgh, the city placed the management of its playgrounds in the hands of the Playground Association of America. The organization's Third National Congress took place at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland in 1909.
In the 1930s, this approach with its emphasis on physical and moral education moved gradually into what would become the vision of creative playgrounds. Developed by Scandinavian urban planners and landscape designers (and then taken over by many others), the new concepts stressed the conviction that a child is not simply an incomplete adult, but an individual with creative potential.
Gabriela Burkhalter just moved from Basel to Pittsburgh, but still runs Architektur für Kinder (Architecture for Children), a homepage dedicated to the history of playgrounds.
Quotes from Linnea M. Anderson's "'The playground of today is the republic of tomorrow': Social reform and organized recreation in the USA, 1890-1930's," 2007, from The Encyclopaedia of Informal Education

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today introduced legislation exempting some traditional and customary Alaska Native handicrafts from a provision in the Migratory Bird Treaty Act prohibiting the sale of items containing feathers and other non-edible migratory bird parts.
The bill comes in response to recent enforcement actions taken by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) against Alaska Native carvers and artists who used feathers in their artwork. Because of this enforcement approach, many Alaska Natives are refraining from engaging in traditional activities.
"Alaska Natives have been using feathers in their ceremonial clothing and artwork for thousands of years," Murkowski said. "Culture and tradition are incredibly important to Alaska Natives, and when a well-known Tlingit artist, Archie Cavanaugh, was cited last October for attempting to sell a headdress containing migratory bird parts, it really called attention to the inconsistencies in the law and the need for a legislative fix."
The Alaska Federation of Natives and other Native groups have expressed concerns over what they consider to be the heavy-handed enforcement of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the lack of clarity under the law.
Under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, many of the masks, headdresses, hats, and clothing used in traditional gatherings could be considered illegal if offered for sale. Alternatively, the Marine Mammal Protection Act provides an exemption for Alaska Natives to continue their traditional and customary practices, including creating and selling art pieces.
Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) has introduced companion legislation (HR 3109) in the House.

Using Frames More Securely
HTML frames (FRAMESETs and IFRAMEs) are a feature of all modern web browsers that enable content from multiple pages to be displayed within a single view. Historically, frames were primarily used to enable partial page updates, where page navigation was contained in one frame, and page content was contained in another. Over time, use of frames expanded to include advertising, mashup, and AJAX scenarios. Today, the majority of popular websites use IFRAMEs for myriad reasons.
From a security point of view, frames can help increase the security of web applications by creating isolation between content delivered from different sources. For instance, a Web mail account (http://mail.example.com) might choose to render HTML email within an IFRAME (http://untrusted.example.com/getmsg?msgid=1234) to ensure that any script in the HTML mail cannot execute in the context of the Web mail application delivered from mail.example.com. Instead, any script would execute in the context of the "untrusted.example.com" domain. This isolation prevents tampering with the Web mail UI, leaking user credentials and cookies, snooping on other messages, etc.
For frames rendered in Internet Explorer 6 and later, security can be further increased by setting the frame's SECURITY attribute to the value "restricted". Doing so causes Internet Explorer to treat the contents of the frame, regardless of their source, as content that should be rendered in the Restricted Sites Security Zone. Frames running in the Restricted Sites zone cannot run script, invoke ActiveX controls, redirect to other sites, and so on. This technique is particularly useful in cases where the frame's content cannot be assumed to be trustworthy (as in the case of web mail scenario above).
However, it is important to understand that HTML frames are not a security panacea. In order to remain secure, a website which chooses to include content from another website in a frame must generally trust that other website to be non-malicious. Otherwise, a number of security threats are exposed.
For instance, consider a web mail application containing two IFRAMEs: one that is used to display an advertisement, and one that is used to display the contents of an HTML email.

In the best case, both frames are tagged with the SECURITY="restricted" attribute to ensure that the HTML email or the advertisement cannot contain any script which might be used to navigate the user away from the web mail page to a malicious site (e.g. ).
The user will likely recognize that the email frame contains content of questionable trustworthiness. While the email may contain a phishing attack or other malicious content, it is unlikely that the user will mistake such content as a part of the web mail application itself. In contrast, in the advertising case, unless there is an indication around the IFRAME indicating that the contents are an advertisement, the user could be fooled into taking an unsafe action. For instance, an ad banner could be crafted to match the web mail user-interface, containing text that suggests that there's a system outage and the user should email their name and password to a given address. The user may mistake the content as a trusted message from the web mail application, and undertake an unsafe action.
Therefore, Web developer best practices for using frames can be summarized as:
- If possible, do not include frames containing content from unknown/untrusted sites.
- If possible, use the SECURITY="restricted"attribute to reduce the privileges of content in the IFRAME.
- If it is not already obvious to users, clearly mark any frames containing untrusted content.

PORTSMOUTH, VA -- The ninth annual Crews Into Shape challenge, sponsored by the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC), is running from March 1-28 this year.
The team-oriented challenge is designed to improve participants' fitness and nutrition habits.
Participating teams can be made up of two to 10 people who earn points by exercising regularly, eating fruits and vegetables, and drinking healthy fluids.
The idea behind working in teams is to provide people with partners to help them stay motivated.
"The idea of Crews is to appeal to people's sense of competitiveness and their spirit of fun," says Bob MacDonald, the Crews Into Shape coordinator at NMCPHC. "Crews Into Shape is more of a group effort, and there is power in that."
In addition to learning healthy habits and losing weight, top scoring teams win T-shirts.
Every year, Crews Into Shape attracts between 2,500 and 3,500 participants.
"Most people say it was fun; they enjoyed the team aspects," MacDonald says. "A lot of people wish we could do this every six months."
Crews Into Shape is open to all branches of service, Department of Defense civilians and contractors, as well as family members.

In recent years a considerable attention was paid to an investigation of finite orders relative to different properties of their isotone functions [2,3]. Strict order relations are defined as strict asymmetric and transitive binary relations. Some algebraic properties of strict orders were already studied in [6]. For the class K of so-called 2-series strict orders we describe the partially ordered set EndK of endomorphism monoids, ordered by inclusion. It is obtained that EndK possesses a least element and in most cases defines a Boolean algebra. Moreover, every 2-series strict order is determined by its n-ary isotone functions for some natural number n.
Hyperquasivarieties (2003)
We define a class of topological spaces (LCNT-spaces) which come together with a nuclear Frechet algebra. Like the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold, this algebra carries the differential structure of the object. We compute the Hochschild homology of this object and show that it is isomorphic to the space of differential forms. This is a generalization of a result obtained by Alain Connes in the framework of smooth manifolds.

Preference(redirected from Perfer)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia.
Refers to over-the-counter trading. Selection of a dealer to handle a trade despite the dealer's market not being the best available. Often the "preferenced dealer" will then move his market in line.
The practice of executing trades and other transactions by means other than the open market. For example, if one needs roofing repairs on one's house, one may select one's brother's roofing business even if it is more expensive. In securities, preference often occurs in over-the-counter trades, especially within a brokerage. Preference can, but does not always, lead to economic inefficiency.
The practice of matching customers' buy and sell orders away from the primary exchange. Preferencing is opposed by the New York Stock Exchange because it claims the practice unfairly benefits brokerage firms and doesn't give customer orders the chance to see other customer orders in a public market. Compare in-house trade.

Making its debut on home tvs via the magic of premium cable this weekend was last year's animated flight of fancy, "Rio". Brought to you by the creators of "Ice Age", the film features celebrity voicing courtesy of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez, Will.I.Am, Jamie Foxx, Tracy Morgan and Jemaine Clement.
It tells the story of a Blue Macaw (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg), "Blue", who was raised in captivity as a pet. When it's discovered that he's one of the last remaining birds of his species, he's returned to Brazil with the intention of mating him with a female Blue Macaw (Anne Hathaway) who is currently held in captivity.
Of course, she's not too keen on the idea. Nor is she fond of being held in captivity. So it's not long before the mismatched couple are on the run… With one major problem.
"Blue" can't fly.
