UMass Lowell will resume on-campus instruction, research and campus life for Fall 2020. View the plan for more info.
Edwin L. Aguirre
Nanotechnology is making a great impact on businesses by offering new and improved products, materials and processes for diverse applications such as electronics manufacturing, the aerospace, chemical and automotive industries, defense and homeland security, food and beverage packaging, health care, sporting goods, textiles and cosmetics.
But researchers are also assessing the health and environmental risks associated with this new technology due to exposure to, or contamination from, nanoparticles during production, storage and transportation.
To detect the toxicity of engineered nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, on living cells, electrical engineering Assoc. Prof. Joel Therrien — along with biology Prof. Susan Braunhut, chemistry Prof. Kenneth Marx and work environment Asst. Prof. Dhimiter Bello — has developed a "nanocanary," the modern-day, high-tech equivalent of the canary in a coal mine that warned miners of dangerous buildups of toxic gases in the mine shaft.
The nanocanary is an ultrasensitive biosensor designed to continuously monitor tiny physiological changes in the live cells contained within it.
In a recent podcast produced by the Museum of Science in Boston, Therrien talked about the importance of studying how nano-sized particles affect human health and the environment as well as in the safe development of commercial nano products.
"Our biosensor has a wide range of applications, from testing for toxicity in nanomanufacturing to drug development and customized cancer therapeutics," notes Therrien.
"In testing the toxicity of carbon nanotubes, for example, since the sensor can directly detect adverse effects on living cells, we are able to identify the threshold concentration at which carbon nanotubes lead to the cells' death," he explains. "The sensor can also be used to test the response of normal and cancerous cells to drug therapies. In the future, this technology may help guide oncologists in selecting the most appropriate drug for a cancer patient. We also see the potential for this to partially replace animals in testing drugs and other products."
You can listen to Therrien's 16-minute interview, titled "Nanocanary: Sensing Small Things with Small Things," by going to the museum's website.
Improving Telepresence Robots
The Museum of Science's weekly podcasts offer an in-depth look at the latest developments in science and technology through interviews with guest researchers and the museum's own staff.
In the Nov. 10 podcast, graduate student Kate Tsui of UMass Lowell's Robotics Lab described some of the benefits of telepresence robots and discussed her research into improving these remotely operated devices. You can listen to Tsui's 17-minute interview, entitled "My Other Body Is a Robot," by visiting the museum's website.

a bee in (one's) bonnet
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia.
a bee in (one's) bonnet
An obsession, often with something that is strange or a source of agitation. Ever since the blizzard last year, Dad has had a bee in his bonnet about moving to a warmer climate. It seems that Mike still has a bee in his bonnet over the criticism he got in the staff meeting.
bee in one's bonnet
a single idea or a thought that remains in one's mind; an obsession. (*Typically: get ~; have ~; give one ~.) I have a bee in my bonnet over that cool new car I saw, and I can't stop thinking about it. I got a bee in my bonnet about swimming. I just wanted to go swimming all the time.
bee in one's bonnet
A strange idea or notion; also, an idea that is harped on, an obsession. For example, Bill's got a bee in his bonnet about burglars; he's always imagining strange noises. This term, which replaced the earlier have bees in one's head, transfers the buzzing of a bee inside one's hat to a weird idea in one's head. [Second half of 1600s]
a bee in (one's) bonnet
1. An impulse to do something; a notion.
2. An obsession.

With his technical staff now in place, Crew Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter is set to observe the talent pool available in next week's MLS SuperDraft in Philadelphia. He'll be able to do so at the MLS Combine in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. from Friday to next Tuesday, January 14.
Having already watched a number of the top prospects in person and on video ahead of the combine, Berhalter is looking to get a feel for the players' personalities while in Fort Lauderdale. He notes that player performances in the scrimmages at the combine can be deceiving due to unfamiliar surroundings. The Crew technical staff plans to rely more on the interview process with the draft prospects.
"These guys are coming in unfamiliar settings with unfamiliar teammates and unfamiliar coaches, so we're not relying too heavily on the Combine," Berhalter admitted before leaving for Florida. "Obviously, you want to get to talk to players first hand and hear them, but a lot of the work is being done beforehand and we're watching video and recapping some of the college games we've scouted and getting a good grasp on [the talent] now."
He continued: "You can see their attitude and see their intensity [at the combine]. A lot of times, you can get a gauge of their intelligence and competitiveness. Any type of clue that we can get of the type of person they are will help us make a good decision [in the SuperDraft]."
In addition, with the connections Berhalter and his staff have around the college soccer world, the technical staff has been surveying college coaches around the country for their thoughts on the players available in the SuperDraft.
"We've spoken to a lot [of college coaches]," he said. "Between the staff, we know virtually every college coach in the country. We're pretty well covered in that area."
The MLS SuperDraft takes place on Thursday, January 16 in Philadelphia. Stay tuned to TheCrew.com for exclusive content from the event.

As part of my New Year's resolutions to get up and finally lose this baby weight, I've been doing Jillian Michaels' "Yoga Meltdown" DVD. My six-year-old daughter woke up and decided to join me.
As I'm grunting and sweating, all I hear from her is, "Yoga's such a great way to start the day," as she moves effortlessly into tree pose. "This is so easy, Mommy," she says during downward dog. "Don't worry, Mommy, the more you do it, the better you'll get," as she moves into warrior pose. Meanwhile, I'm shaking and stumbling my way through it.
She's been doing yoga since she was 3 and loves it. Her preschool teacher told us parents that they'd be doing yoga in class before naptime and that if we'd like, we could continue the practice at home so the kids could feel really comfortable doing it. Ever since then, my daughter has been an intense yogi, wanting to practice whenever and wherever she gets a chance.
I didn't realize that yoga for kids was a real thing until recently. A recent article in Yoga Journal says the number of schools offering some form of yoga instruction in their curriculum has risen dramatically in recent years, mostly as a way to offer an alternative form of physical education and also to improve the focus of children who are living in an increasingly test-driven world.
In 2003 researchers studied of the effects of yoga classes among students in grades K through 8. The students showed improvements in self-esteem, flexibility, strength, and relaxation. Yoga can help by giving them the benefit of learning self-control and how to relax by breathing deeply.
Lynda Meeder, a school counselor, said that having yoga classes available at her school has been invaluable. "It brings a sense of calm to the classroom," she says. "Kids are so stressed out. They tell me this is the one time they have to relax."
Yoga's gaining in popularity because it's easy to learn and modify to your particular activity level. It's also cheap—all you need is open space and bare feet. It doesn't take long; you don't have to go anywhere to do it.
Sounds good, right? If you want to add yoga to your child's routine, here's what you need to know:
1. Practice your poses in an area that's clear of sharp points and tripping hazards. A trip to the ER is not relaxing at all.
2. Always do yoga barefoot on a mat, a rug, or grass to prevent slipping and to soften falls. Wear comfortable clothing.
3. Make sure both you and your child stay within your comfort level during stretches. Rest when you need to, and stop if you feel any pain.
4. Limit yoga to about 5-10 minutes. It will be too frustrating to try to get a child to concentrate for much longer and the last thing we want is more frustration!
Here's a few poses that should be easy for you and your child to do together:
Pose #1: Butterfly pose – This pose opens your hips and your lower back. It can be difficult to lower the knees toward the floor, but you will be able to work up to it. Ask them to close their eyes and pretend they are a beautiful butterfly. Have them "flap" their laps like wings.
Pose #2: Downward dog – This is one of the classic yoga poses and it has a multitude of benefits. It stretches the shoulders, hamstrings, calves, arches, hands, arms and legs and also – a huge bonus for moms – helps alleviate fatigue! It is okay if the heels of your feet don't reach the floor at first – as you stretch and lengthen your muscles, you'll find this pose easier to do.
Pose #3: Child's pose – The ultimate in relaxation poses. It's designed specifically to combat stress and fatigue, which makes it easy to see why this one is so popular. Ask your kids, ""Did you feel your knees pushing on your belly? This pose helps your belly digest food better!"
Pose #4: Corpse pose – End with this relaxing pose. (Make sure you don't fall asleep!) It seems deceptively easy (it's just laying on the floor, right?), but it takes concentration to truly let your body relax and let your back, hips, legs, and chest sink into the floor. As they do this with you, ask your kids to focus on their belly rising and falling. Teach them how to breathe in slowly through their nose and out slowly through their nose.
You can also make up your own yoga poses with your child. Try a snake pose, where you slither like a snake or an elephant pose, where you use your arms to make an elephant's trunk. Let your imagination run free!
When you are done with the yoga poses, come to your feet and say "Namaste" to each other. It means, "The light in me recognizes the light in you." Or, in other words, "we are all special."

Choo makes 40th start as DH
HOUSTON -- Shin-Soo Choo, who started in right field on Friday for the Rangers, was manager Ron Washington's choice as designated hitter on Saturday night against Houston. Choo responded with a four-hit game, collecting his 1000th career hit in the process.
"I just wanted to DH him tonight," said Washington. "Any time I put him in the DH spot it can get him off his feet. My thought process was I have some other guys I'm putting in the lineup and I don't want to DH them because they're too young to DH."
Choo, 32, sprained his left ankle in April and has had problems, but he has played through it. He missed several games in April because of the injury, but has not gone on the disabled list.
Choo has started 61 games in left field, six in right field and Saturday was the 40th time he's been the DH.
In Friday's 4-3 loss to Houston, Choo was replaced in right field in the bottom of the eighth inning by Jim Adduci as a defensive substitution, with the Rangers leading 2-1. Washington said taking Choo out at the time was best for the team.
"When he gets that ankle healthy, you'll definitely see a different Choo in the outfield," said Washington. "I got younger legs that can play out there late in the game.
"If that was a healthy Choo, then Choo stays out there. We got the lead late, then you do it. We're doing what's best for us."

The Enterprise was an 18th century Human naval frigate.
From 2151 until 2161, Jonathan Archer, the captain of the United Earth Starfleet starship Enterprise NX-01, had a drawing of Enterprise hanging in his ready room. (Star Trek: Enterprise)
While viewing the captain's display of ships named Enterprise in 2154, Shran asked Archer if he had personally served aboard the various vessels on display. Archer noted that many of these vessels were active before his time, and that this ship sailed "almost four hundred years" before. (ENT: "United")
Crewman Daniels had another reproduction of the drawing in his quarters. (ENT: "Shockwave, Part II")
In the mid-2270s, a collection of paintings depicting the various vessels named Enterprise was featured on the recreation deck of the USS Enterprise, which included a picture of this ship. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

BEIJING (REUTERS) - China said on Monday that Japan must face up to history and respect the feelings of those who were victims of wartime aggression, after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made an offering to a shrine seen as a symbol of Japan's former militarism.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying made the comments at a regular news briefing.
Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated sharply in September after Japan bought islets in the East China Sea claimed by Beijing, sparking anti-Japanese protests across China.
Ties have been overshadowed for years by what Beijing says has been Tokyo's refusal to admit to wartime atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers in the country between 1931 and 1945.

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository
Nash, a Princeton senior research mathematician, will share the prize with longtime colleague Louis Nirenberg, a professor emeritus at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Nash is the second consecutive Princeton researcher to receive the honor; Yakov Sinai, a Princeton University professor of mathematics, was awarded the 2014 Abel Prize for his influential 50-year career in mathematics. Several past winners have been University alumni.
Nash is a 1994 Nobel Prize laureate in economics publicly known for his work in game theory as dramatized in the 2001 film "A Beautiful Mind" in which he was portrayed by actor Russell Crowe.
It is Nash's work in geometry and partial differential equations that "the mathematical community regards as his most important and deepest work," according to the academy.
The prize citation recognized Nash and Nirenberg for "striking and seminal contributions to the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and its applications to geometric analysis."
The academy went on to say: "Their breakthroughs have developed into versatile and robust techniques, which have become essential tools for the study of nonlinear partial differential equations. Their impact can be felt in all branches of the theory …. [T]he widespread impact of both Nash and Nirenberg on the modern toolbox of nonlinear partial differential equations cannot be fully covered here."
David Gabai, the Hughes-Rogers Professor of Mathematics and department chair, said that Nash's approach to a mathematical problem was so innovative that his methods, such as the Nash embedding theorems, became just as important as the solution.
Nash's name is attached to a range of influential work in mathematics, including the Nash-Moser inverse function theorem, the Nash-De Giorgi theorem (which stemmed from a problem Nash undertook at the suggestion of Nirenberg), and the Nash embedding theorems, which the academy described as "among the most original results in geometric analysis of the twentieth century."
"The Nash embedding/immersion theorems are absolutely incredible results that any mathematician can appreciate," Gabai said. "Nash's work in game theory and geometry are absolutely fundamental, yet there is no comparison between the depth of the latter and that of the former. His embedding theorems required not only unusual insight but also tremendous technical expertise."

http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/09/opinion/carville-buckwalter-poza-election/index.html?hpt=hp_t2Editor's note: James Carville is a CNN contributor and professor at Tulane University and Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza is a student at Yale Law School. They co-authored "40 More Years: How Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation." Buckwalter-Poza served as deputy national press secretary of the Democratic National Committee during the 2008 election.
(CNN) -- In 2009, we wrote a book, "40 More Years: How Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation." Building on Ruy Teixeira and John Judis' 2002 tour de force "The Emerging Democratic Majority" predicting the 2008 election, we argued that America's diversifying and increasingly liberal youth voters would secure a lasting Democratic majority.
Our collaboration seemed appropriate then and is only more so now. On one half of the byline, you have James Carville, 68-year-old white man from Louisiana and professor at Tulane University. On the other side, you've got a 26-year-old second-generation Latina with a fiancée. Voters who look like James are on their way out; voters like Rebecca are our future.
A few reviewers missed the point of our focus on demographics. Others, primarily young, entitled, progressive men, critiqued us for not recommending that Democrats focus on appealing to young, entitled, progressive men. To this, we plead guilty. Our book was about demographic diversity and the future of the Democratic Party.
After the midterm elections in 2010, we were mocked viciously. Our thesis was laughable, Republicans hooted, ignoring the book's careful caveat that midterm election turnout differs substantially from that of presidential elections.
We would like to direct these critics to the Epistle of Jude, 1:10: "Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals—these are the very things that destroy them."
Tuesday night proved our 2009 selves could not have been more right. "Mid-20th century, white men made up half of the electorate," we wrote in 2009. "In 2008, white men made up only 36% of the electorate ... and their vote share is dropping by a percentage point a year."
Our only error was in slightly underestimating the rate at which white men's vote share is shrinking. White voters were 74% of voters in 2008; they were 72% this year. White men comprised just 34% of the electorate on Tuesday.
In 2009, we also commented on the Republicans' reliance on the far right and evangelical voters: "The shrinking Christian right leaves a void in the Republicans' collection of base groups—and they can't look to any growing groups to replace those votes."
Mitt Romney outperformed Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP presidential candidate, by 5 points with both white voters overall (59%) and white men (62%). He also bested McCain's margin among Republicans, winning 93% of self-identified Republicans as compared to McCain's 90%, and white evangelical voters, 79% compared with McCain's 73%. Romney lost by relying on a tapped-out, ever-shrinking group of voters.
By way of contrast, Latinos now make up a greater share of the electorate than they did four years ago: 10% of all voters. Obama won 71% of Latinos, reflecting an increase in support of 4%. Similarly, the proportion of the electorate identifying as Asian increased from 2% to 3%, and Obama's support among Asian voters rose 11 points, from 62% to 73%.
There's an entire chapter in "40 More Years" on the importance of youth voters. Four years ago, 18% of the electorate was between 18 and 29. Now, youth are 19% of voters. We highlighted a critical trend within the youth vote: "Back in 1972, almost nine in 10 youth voters (87%) were white. By 2004, only 62% of youth said they were white." This year, about 58% of voters 18-29 identified as white; 42.1% of youth self-reported as African-American, Latino, or otherwise nonwhite.
We also predicted the implosion of Republicans' culture war strategy. Our conclusion was that "[w]hat Bush started in 2000 was a two-election trick that had met its natural and timely death by 2008." Our critics tried to answer our claim by citing the success of culture-war tactics in 2004 and their state-level effects in 2008. We ignored them.
As we said, "The consequence of Republicans' lingering preoccupation with the culture war is that it has led them to become a party of ridiculous positions." Republicans would "have to be certifiable," our sage selves circa 2009 warned, to ever try a culture war strategy again.
We could not be more delighted that Maine, Maryland and Washington became the first states in the country to pass same-sex marriage by popular vote on Tuesday. What we're downright thrilled about, however, is the fact that Mitt Romney got fewer votes than "traditional" marriage in every one of those states.
The Republicans did their damnedest to use the specter of homosexual marital bliss to incite their base voters to vote for Mitt Romney. In the past, that has worked. This time, the best they could do with millions of dollars and overt hate mongering—their favorite weapons—was mobilize a conservative minority that voted for "traditional marriage" but rejected Romney.
Some analyses have tried to make 2012 about single women or educated white women or some other narrow slice of the electorate. They're thinking small. The big picture is this: Democrats are continuing to win big with the demographic groups that are growing; Republicans are still struggling to increase support with shrinking base voter groups.
Republicans made critical, unforced errors in 2008 and 2012. Our present hope is that Republicans continue to mock rather than read "40 More Years," and that Democrats take heed. It's not that we like saying we told you so. It's just that we wrote an entire book telling you so.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank has "zero tolerance" for customers seeking to evade taxes by holding assets in foreign accounts managed by the lender, Co-Chief Executive Juergen Fitschen told German radio broadcaster Deutschlandfunk.
"Tax evasion is a crime," Fitschen said in an interview. "It's unacceptable."
Germany's biggest lender has restrictive policies for dealing with its customers' overseas assets and all employees working in the area are aware of it, Fitschen said.
"We have zero tolerance," he said, adding that if the bank had the slightest indication that foreign assets handled by the bank were not taxed, it would demand that customers prove the assets were legitimate.
Tax evasion has become an election issue in Germany after the shock revelation that Uli Hoeness, the Bayern Munich soccer club president and an associate of Chancellor Angela Merkel, had turned himself into tax authorities over a secret Swiss bank account.
Germany's financial watchdog Bafin plans to take a closer look at banks' business in offshore tax havens.
Fitschen said he was confident the Bafin enquiry would bring a good result. "As in other areas, we have nothing to hide."
Separately, UBS Chairman Axel Weber told Wirtschaftswoche magazine that Switzerland's biggest bank would no longer do business with customers seeking to evade taxes.
"I am confident that we can persuade the affected customers to put their situation with the German tax authorities in order," said Weber, who is a former Bundesbank president.

Nobody will ever know whether it was the steep $24.7 million price tag or the fact that the triplex penthouse never officially hit the MLS that caused Vince Vaughn's posh unit to linger on the market. In attempt to remedy the situation and find a buyer for his 19-room triplex penthouse, the A-list actor recently officially listed the home on the open market and reduced the price to $18.4 million, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Vaughn scooped up the top three floors of the Palmolive building in 2006 for $12 million, so the funny man is obviously looking to turn a big profit on the sale of his pad. The public listing boasts that the home includes five bedrooms, four full and four half baths, a top-floor screening room, a billiards/game room and a gigantic terrace. Most eyebrow raising of the 12,000-square-foot unit's features is the restored "Playboy" office that once belonged to Hugh Hefner when Playboy's headquarters were situated in the building.
Any bets on whether this luxe triplex penthouse warrants a $18.4 million price tag?

Can Short Girls Wear Riding Boots?
Q. Can short girls wear riding boots? I'm 5'1″ and 140lbs. Will wearing flat boots make me look shorter or wider? I like the look and love the comfort but I want to look stylish and not stocky.
A. Flat boots can be tricky, but yes, short girls can wear riding boots! The most important tip is to choose a shaft height that works with your proportions (the shaft is the part of the boot that covers the leg, measured along the inside seam of the boot). Anything too tall will make you look shorter. The most flattering boot would hit 1″ or more below your knee.
Wearing your boots with similar colored tights, leggings or jeans will also help create a flattering look for your legs. A short dress or skirt will also help to lengthen your legs.
Here are some riding boots that are perfect for shorter women:

Reading Wars
A debate about the "best way" to teach reading has been raging for decades. In what is often described as the "reading wars" by academic and policy insiders, there are opposing factions of experts, policy makers, and politicians who champion "phonics," on the one side, or "whole language," on the other. Each faction declares their respective approach as the key to effectively teaching all children to read.
Unfortunately, this "war" has been politicized and it does little to help teachers and students in the trenches, in America's classrooms.
There is virtually no disagreement, though, "that reading is the gateway to learning in all content areas and essential for achieving high standards," as stated in the National Education Association's official reading policy.
To open that gateway for all students, the NEA, International Reading Association, and many others believe it is counterproductive to promote any particular program, procedure, or method of reading instruction to the exclusion of all others.
Complete Reading Program Is Like Balanced Diet
In its final report, the NEA's Task Force on Reading said a complete reading program is "analogous in several ways to a balanced diet."
"Completeness in both diet and reading," said the Task Force, "is achieved by providing diverse components in ratios that are not necessarily equal. In addition, the ratios might vary with individual needs and with development. For example, infants do not eat five servings of fruits and vegetables as recommended for children and adults. In a similar fashion, beginning readers might require different amounts of certain types of reading activities than more proficient readers. Just as some infants do not do well on milk products and need special formulae, so beginning readers may have special instructional needs."

The Special Rapporteur is an independent expert appointed by the Human Rights Council to examine and report back on a country situation or a specific human rights theme. This position is honorary and the expert is not a staff of the United Nations nor paid for his/her work.
Since 1979, special mechanisms have been created by the United Nations to examine specific country situations or themes from a human rights perspective. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights, replaced by the Human Rights Council in June 2006, has mandated experts to study particular human rights issues. These experts constitute what are known as the United Nations human rights mechanisms or mandates, or the system of special procedures.
For more information on the Special Rapporteurs, please refer to:
For the Special Rapporteur, the right to food is the right to have regular, permanent and unrestricted access, either directly or by means of financial purchases, to quantitatively and qualitatively adequate and sufficient food corresponding to the cultural traditions of the people to which the consumer belongs, and which ensure a physical and mental, individual and collective, fulfilling and dignified life free of fear.
This definition is in line with the core elements of the right to food as defined by
General Comment No. 12 of the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the body in charge of monitoring the implementation of the
International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in those states which are party to it). The Committee declared that "the right to adequate food is realized when every man, woman and child, alone or in community with others, has physical and economic access at all times to adequate food or means for its procurement. The right to adequate food shall therefore not be interpreted in a narrow or restrictive sense which equates it with a minimum package of calories, proteins and other specific nutrients. The right to adequate food will have to be realized progressively. However, States have a core obligation to take the necessary action to mitigate and alleviate hunger even in times of natural or other disasters.
The nature of the legal obligations of States parties are set out in article 2 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in General Comment No. 12 also defined the obligations that States parties have to fulfill in order to implement the right to adequate food at the national level. These are as follows:
While all the rights under the Covenant are meant to be achieved through progressive realization, States have some minimum core obligations which are of immediate effect. They have the obligation to refrain from any discrimination in access to food as well as to means and entitlements for its procurement, on the grounds of race, colour, sex, language, age, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. States are further prohibited to take retrogressive measures, i.e. deliberate measures which result in the deterioration of current level of fulfillment of the right to food.
The Covenant requires that States take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that everyone is free from hunger and as soon as possible can enjoy the right to adequate food but they have a margin of discretion in choosing the ways and means of implementing the right to adequate food. Finally, States have to ensure the satisfaction of the minimum essential level required to be free from hunger.
The mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the right to food was originally established by the Commission on Human Rights in April 2000 by resolution
2000/10. Subsequent to the replacement of the Commission by the Human Rights Council in June 2006, the mandate was endorsed and extended by the Human Rights Council by its
resolution 6/2 of 27 September 2007. For more information on the history of the mandate, please refer to the following link:
Overview of the mandate.
The Special Rapporteur implements the mandate through different means and activities. As assigned by the different resolutions related to the mandate:
The Special Rapporteur presents annual reports to the Human Rights Council and to the General Assembly on the activities and studies undertaken in the view of the implementation of the mandate (See
Annual Reports);
He/She monitors the situation of the right to food throughout the world. He/she identifies general trends related to the right to food and undertakes country visits which provide the Special Rapporteur with a firsthand account on the situation concerning the right to food in a specific country (See
Country visits;
He/She communicates with States and other concerned parties with regard to alleged cases of violations of the right to food (See
Individual complaints) and other issues related to his/her mandate;
He/She promotes the full realization of the right to food through dialogue with relevant actors by participating in seminars, conferences, expert meetings.

PERFORMANCE DAYS is synchronized with the industry's deadlines – making it possible for designers, product, purchasing and material managers to perform sourcing at just the right time for the upcoming summer and winter collections in April/May and October/November. The latest trends and innovations in the functional fabric industry are on display by more than 290 top quality exhibitors from around 30 nations.
Unlike the other big trade fairs, PERFORMANCE DAYS offers a relaxing and dedicated working atmosphere – creating a platform for specific business meetings and direct introductions to new producers. The early timing makes the trade fair the top address for innovations, trends, and product launches. The independent PERFORMANCE FORUM as well as guided tours, workshops and expert talks make the trade fair a one of a kind event.
It's a perfect platform for connecting to our business partners. For Völkl Performance Wear, the Performance Days open up a perfect chance to trace the latest trend in functional fabrics and to connect with exhibitors and visitors in a very relaxed but concentrated atmosphere at the same time.
Its really interesting for us to see how the show has been growing over the last years. It's getting more and more international, more and more exhibitors are participating so it's getting more relevant for our customers. So it's really growing. It's still an efficiency tool but it's more and more becoming an acquisition and brand management tool.

Car and Driver magazine has named the 2012 Honda Accord 4-cylinder and the 2012 Honda Fit as two winners of its prestigious and highly competitive, annual "10Best Cars" award. Now in its eighth generation, the Accord has achieved "10Best Cars" status 26 times in the 30 years that Car and Driver editors have been conducting the competition, more than any other vehicle in the award's history. The Honda Fit has been honored with "10Best Cars" status in each of the six years that it has been on sale in the United States.
"The Car and Driver '10Best Cars' awards document a proud history of great cars in America over the last 30 years," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Honda is honored to again have two of our vehicles included among the best of the best."
The Fit has been sold in the U.S. since the 2007 model year and is manufactured in Sayama, Japan. The Accord has been sold in the U.S. since the 1976 model year and has been manufactured in Marysville, Ohio since 1982.

Toshka Lakes, fed from Lake Nasser via a canal, grew and spilled into new basins to become four major and two smaller lakes. Starting in 2002, astronauts have seen the lakes slowly decline, with the telltale ring of darker, moistened ground showing the previous higher water levels.">

In the late 1990s, Egypt's new manmade Toshka Lakes, fed from Lake Nasser via a canal, grew and spilled into new basins to become four major and two smaller lakes. These lakes extended 120 kilometers across the desert west of the Nile River in southern Egypt. Starting in 2002, astronauts have seen the lakes slowly decline, with the telltale ring of darker, moistened ground showing the previous higher water levels (see prior comparison of astronaut imagery of the lakes). The rise and fall of Toshka Lakes and the economic development surrounding the region are dependent on climate fluctuations and water agreements with upstream countries that, in turn, determine the long-term water flow in the lower Nile.
This astronaut photograph, covering a distance of 11.3 kilometers from left to right, shows shoreline detail of the third large lake. Lake water appears deep blue to blue-green, and parallel with the shoreline is a wide brown zone which was under water until 2002. Most of the bright yellow sand dunes in the view are re-emerging as the lake level drops; most are outlined by thin wet margins. Still-submerged dunes can be seen offshore as blurred tan smudges (image top center). The summit of the biggest horn-shaped dune (image top right) was an island more than five kilometers offshore in images from 2001. The patterns of the overlapping crescent dunes gives a strong sense of dune migration southwards; the horns of the crescent dunes point in the direction of dune movement, from top right towards lower left. Dominant northerly winds drive the dunes southward, except, of course, when they are under water.

Women's Devotional Bible
Buried Treasures
Are you digging for buried treasure? If not, you should know that it's waiting there for you.
But wait. Don't reach for a shovel just yet. For this kind of digging, you need other kinds of tools: your Bible, a concordance and maybe a reliable commentary or two. And bring along your mind, heart, time and a bit of patience. You may ask, "What kind of treasure can I find with these tools?" The answer is profound. You'll find a wealth of God's wisdom that can only be found when you search for it as if you were digging for gold or silver buried beneath the earth's surface.
You may have noticed that if you read Scripture simply to check it off your to-do list, you don't gain much insight. But when you pray, when you compare one Scripture with another, when you meditate on verses, then you gain insight—then you find the golden nuggets of wisdom and truth that have been there all the time, buried beneath the surface.
In Matthew 11 and 12, Jesus had pronounced judgment on the unrepentant and especially the religious leaders who were uniting against him. But in Matthew 13, Jesus changed his approach in speaking to the crowds. He started teaching in parables—earthly stories with heavenly meanings. Only those who wanted to dig deep enough could understand what he was really saying. Others might pass Christ's teachings off as simple stories. But these "simple stories" were eternal stories—helping generations understand spiritual principles through physical metaphors. Rural folk could grasp the kingdom of heaven by looking at a farmer working in the fields. People in business could comprehend the kingdom of heaven through stories of faithful or evil servants. All could look forward to Christ's return via the story of a wedding and bridegroom. Simple stories—profound truth.
Jesus gladly answered his disciples' questions about his parables and gave them the interpretations. His hidden truths are an open secret for those who are really looking. When you ask the Holy Spirit to give you ears to hear and eyes to see, God will open his treasure house and give you fresh insight into his parables. Ask him for understanding, and he'll help you unearth buried treasure.
- What Bible study tools or methods do you use on a daily basis?
- Which of the following would you use to describe your time with God's Word: skimming the surface or digging for treasure?
- What new treasure has God revealed to you lately? What could you do with that new insight?
Matthew 13:13
"This is why I speak to them in parables."

From the opinions of global newsmakers to listeners...personal experiences of life-changing travel...the wisdom of renowned thinkers, activists and spiritual leaders...and intimate dispatches of daily life around the world from NPR News correspondents on the ground...the NPR talk show Tell Me More brings fresh voices and perspectives to public radio.
Capturing the headlines, issues and pleasures relevant to multicultural life in America, the daily one-hour series is hosted by award-winning journalist Michel Martin. Tell Me More marks Martin's first role in hosting a daily program. She views it as an opportunity to focus on the stories, experiences, ideas and people important in contemporary life but often not heard.
" Tell Me More lets me bring together two longtime passions: the intimacy and warmth you experience with powerful radio and the lively, sharp debate about things going on in the world that I enjoy having with friends of diverse backgrounds. That can mean such diverse topics as immigration, gun control, the impact of shock jocks and international adoption," said Martin. "I see Tell Me More as a gathering place for dialogue about the important issues facing the country. But we also talk about the challenges and opportunities we all face living in a fast-paced, complicated society. And we are a home for conversations with NPR News' outstanding correspondents around the world, such as Ofeibea Quist-Arcton and Juan Forero."
Tell Me More focuses on the way we live, intersect and collide in a culturally diverse world. Each day's show features a variety of segments examining U.S. and international news, ideas and people; its range of topics covers politics, faith and spirituality, the family, finance, arts and culture and lifestyle.

Get Off My Lawn
I said, "No. I don't know. Did you try knocking?" They hadn't.
The next day I was eating lunch in my office with the door closed. A student had made arrangements with me to take an exam that afternoon, but I had 15 minutes left before he was due. When he knocked on the door (very quietly) 15 minutes early, I had a mouth full of food, so I was going to wait until I could swallow it before I said, "come in." But I didn't have a chance, because he just opened the door and let himself in. I had to tell him that when you knock on someone's door and they don't say "come in" that means that they haven't given you permission to come in, and you should stay out.
Something similar happened just now. Door closed; student opens it; no knock at all. The guy didn't even knock. He just opened the door to my office. Is it normal for people not to know what the deal with doors is?

I've even had a student (who I'd never met or see before) open my office door, walk in, sit down in my visitors' chair and start asking me about a course I teach. It's oddly distressing! (Though perhaps I should have been flattered by his enthusiasm!)
- February 28, 2011 at 1:49 PM
How annoying; students can be pretty stupid sometimes.
Guess it's time to start using the lock.
- February 28, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Am I the only one whose office door can be locked from inside?

this post is awesome!
the facebook generation is so socially inept
- February 28, 2011 at 2:33 PM
I either have my door fully open, or have it locked. I would advise adopting this practice.
- February 28, 2011 at 2:36 PM

Obviously the lesson, or whatever, is that you (I) need to lock your (my) door if you don't want people to barge in on you, and that you need to leave your door wide open or else people won't know how to get your attention.
But the sort of point I was making is that there is a clear set of rules surrounding door-related behavior that the students at my school seem unaware of. I find this interesting because I always thought that these were some of the simplest and most basic social skills we teach to small children. I thought you learned this stuff in kindergarten or preschool, not sophomore year in college.
- February 28, 2011 at 2:42 PM
Ditto 2:36. I keep my door locked or wide open. A couple of times, I've been in on a weekend with no light on (I have a big window and get lots of natural light), and students will try to open the door to use my office as a study room (or so they said, I think honestly).

I had a shared office in my last teaching post. The doors could only be unlocked with an ID badge, and they couldn't be propped open or they would set off the alarm. (It got bloody hot in there when the sun was shining.) Students had no choice but to knock and wait.
So, I have not seen this behavior, but it does not surprise me. Many students do not seem to have the faintest idea how to behave in school. Or apparently, around doors.
- February 28, 2011 at 4:31 PM
I am just so shocked... WHAT?? I get my share of inept emails, but inept door behavior? That's news to me! Maybe where I am people have a privileged door education...
Thank you, though, I really needed a good laugh and this post and accompanying comments were just right.

I often have students other than my own walk into my office and ask for a stapler.
I've also had to point out to a couple of students that, when a faculty member does not respond to a knock, neither trying the door nor banging loudly on it is the right response.
- February 28, 2011 at 5:11 PM
Are you suggesting that there being a clear set of rules related to x amounts to more than general awareness on the part of individuals of rules relating to x? It sounds like at this point there's a foggy set of rules for doors, probably soon to be a different set of rules for doors (which might be the empty set).
You're just getting old.

Leaving the door open doesn't shield us from idiotic door-behavior. Or maybe this is just me. Am I right to be annoyed when students just walk though my open office door (sometimes sitting down) without knocking on it, making eye-contact, or otherwise receiving acknowledgement from me when my door is open? Clearly, this is *less* socially-inept, but I'm still tempted to scold them. . . .
Anyway, it seems like it's fallen to college professors to pick up where kindergarden left off (that doesn't bode well in lots of cases). So perhaps we should leave our doors unlocked just to encourage such "teaching moments". . . .

Favorite office story ever, courtesy of Acephalous.
- February 28, 2011 at 5:34 PM
I've been wondering about this too since the first time I had a student barge into my office when the door was closed. I think they may see it more like a dentist office. Or a physician's exam room. Knock quietly, then go in.
- February 28, 2011 at 5:50 PM
I had some students walk into my office when I had left it for a moment to go to the water fountain (just a few feet away). They took several chairs out and as I was walking back, I spotted them and asked what they were doing. They said they would return them and they saw that the door was open, so they felt free to walk in and take the chairs.
I was too bewildered to do more than say, yes, they should return them.

One time when I had my door closed and locked, the janitor decided to unlock my door to come and get my trash. No knock or anything.
That was slightly disconcerting. I kind of abruptly noted that he should generally knock first to see if someone is in the office before just unlocking it and entering.
He did it again the next week. Dork.
- February 28, 2011 at 6:45 PM
The janitor has a key and his/her job is to enter your office, most likely during non-working hours or the second shift. Instead of calling this person who works for a living a dork, why don't you realize what is going on. You have several options:
(i) When it gets past 5 p.m. and you know the janitor might be coming, leave your door slightly ajar to alert him/her that someone is inside.
(ii) You could have a sign that say 'EVERYONE KNOCK FIRST'.
(iii) You could become friendly with this PERSON and they will remember your schedule and knock.
(iv) Don't be alarmed when they come in, and just say hello. This person isn't there to disturb you, and I guarantee you they would rather you not be disturbed as well.
it isn't reasonable to ask a janitor to knock on every door when they have the keys to get in after hours, and they open hundreds of doors a night.
Let's be more understanding 6:45.
- February 28, 2011 at 7:39 PM
I'm a nursing mom and so I am often either pumping in my office or nursing my baby. I've had to remember to keep my door locked to prevent students and colleagues from walking in, AND to put a "do not disturb" sign on the door to prevent the janitor from walking in.
- February 28, 2011 at 9:31 PM
I often have students other than my own walk into my office and ask for a stapler.
Priceless. You should offer them fries or milkshake.
- March 1, 2011 at 2:58 AM
I'm shocked by this. Are these all personal offices, or shared offices? I think that the etiquette should be the same, but I can see how people might be more confused in the case of shared offices. (e.g., taking chairs from one shared TA office for use in another seems more likely--though not obviously a smaller etiquette breach--than from a single-occupant office).
Also, at my midwestern university, I've often had students waiting in the hall until office hours start despite my door being ajar (as I generally leave it when I'm inside). And students generally knock, apologize, and ask if it's okay to come in. So, maybe a regional politeness thing? Good fortune on my part? I frighten my students?
- March 1, 2011 at 7:38 AM
For a couple generations now, we as a culture have embraced the idea that life is about doing your own thing, and that you can do whatever you want as long as you don't cause physical harm to anyone else. Should we be surprised, then, when our students act accordingly?
word verification: bantrant (n) a cross between banter and ranting. See: this thread!
- March 1, 2011 at 7:41 AM
Simple solution, make it a teaching opportunity or hang a sigh:
If the door is wide-open feel free to come in and visit.
If the door is slightly-ajar please knock and wait for permission to enter.
If the door is closed do not disturb.
Violators may be subject to Karmic disturbances in the future; shot, maimed, or tortured; or experience ill-will whilst being evaluated.

I hate to sound all old and grouchy while I'm still only in my early thirties, but it does seem that the undergraduates of today have ever less understanding of personal boundaries - and this seems to exemplify it. I often have students walk into my office while I'm seeing another student, and make as if to sit down: the door is open, I'm plainly discussing things with one of their peers, and yet they just wander in without a knock.
My best "personal boundaries" story, though, was about a week ago. When my classes have papers, they're due on the Monday morning; I've told them that I'm willing to answer any questions emailed to me by breakfast time on the preceding Saturday, but after that, they're on their own.
So Friday evening, I'm on a bus... I get a phone call from a student - who, I should add, came to my office hours earlier in the week for help. (It turned out later that she'd dug up my cellphone number from the automatic signature when I'd inadvertently sent the class an email from my non-university address.) I tried answering her questions, but ended up telling her to email it to me.
Her: "So if I email you tonight, will you respond tonight?"
Me: "Er, no. It's Friday night. I'm going out. If you email me by breakfast tomorrow, I'll reply then."
Her: "Okay. So will you be getting up early? When can I expect a reply?"
Me: "I don't know. I'm not going to promise you that I will be up at seven in order to answer your every question. I'll get to your email when I get to it."
So the call ends. Next day (Saturday), no email from her at breakfast time. But she eventually sends one at 12.42 - closer to lunch. The subject line was (in capitals) - "PLEASE READ AND RESPOND" and the email concluded with "any response - preferably a quick one - would be much appreciated."
As I wasn't hovering over my computer eagerly awaiting late emails, I didn't reply at once. So she resent the email at 2.16.
I still didn't reply. So around 3pm she phoned me. I didn't pick up, so she phoned again right away. I had decided I wasn't going to answer, so ignored it. So she waits two hours, and calls again at around 5. And at nine. And at ten, along with another email (by which time, coincidentally, I was actually in the process of replying to her email).
So, in short - in the space of less than ten hours, she sends me an email, resends it, phones my cellphone five times, and sends a third email. All because I wasn't there to provide immediate help on a Saturday afternoon... I can't imagine trying any such thing when I was an undergraduate - this assumption that I have nothing better to do than hold their hands while they write their papers...!

Facebook gen indeed! Is it any surprise, given that rampant exhibitionism and voyeurism on Facebooks and twitters is the norm? Privacy and manners are increasingly passe...
- March 1, 2011 at 10:23 AM
Re: the chairs - it is a (very small!) shared office, but these were undergraduate students taking them for use in a study area.
It was clearly a private area, is the point.
- March 1, 2011 at 10:50 AM
To the person who didn't agree with my response to the janitor, I apologize for not noting the time the janitor decided to use his key and just walk into my office unannounced. It was 10:00 am, smack dab within working hours.
- March 1, 2011 at 10:55 AM
This is not surprising, but I'm not going to blame this on generational differences. Sure, they may come into play, but I think this is more the fault of the university and how it now sells itself and its services to students. It's common to find in promotional materials comments to the effect that the campus is theirs, and that they will have full access to a variety of things. The students are, more so now than ever, encouraged to think of the campus - the entire campus - as serving them. Then you add to this the idea that faculty are available 24/7 because of email (and worse, those faculty who actually are available 24/7, and ruin it for those of us who like to separate professional from personal time), and you get students who don't know that there are spaces on campus that are not for their use.
- March 1, 2011 at 10:58 AM
How are they supposed to know better? Their mommies never knock on their bedroom doors in the parental homes where these students will continue to live until well into their forties.

I think this certainly explains the requests for my stapler. After all, I'm a professor, or something, I have a door open, why shouldn't I supply a stapler?
I like the idea of offering fries and a shake. :-)

I'm an East Coast guy living on the West Coast and I often assumed that some of this shit is regional (I never saw anybody feel free to enter a still-full classroom at 9:50:30 when their class starts at 10 until I got out here) but maybe it is a generational thing (not surprising since kids today are horseshit).
I share an office and we always leave the door unlocked because it is a pain in the ass to have to dig for keys every time you take a piss. Students ROUTINELY barged in looking for their TA until we hung a "KNOCK FIRST!" sign on the door. Students seem to do this even when they don't have an appointment and it's not posted office hours.
This is what happens when students think of education as a service industry and have been taught that the customer is always right. Thankfully I have officemates who are much better at shaming undergrads than I.
- March 1, 2011 at 3:19 PM
Undergrad here, and I do follow door-knocking ettiquette, but I don't think it's just my over-bearing British politeness: I think it's obvious that you do not just enter someone's room.
Just so you don't lose all hope in my generation; we're not all dunderheads!
- March 2, 2011 at 8:18 AM
I'm really surprised--I've never seen students do this at my campus. The housekeeping folks do occasionally open my locked door (and yes, this is during regular hours) without knocking, but they're nice people and they always apologize (as if a quick knock would have been the polite--or safe--thing to do even though all agree they have a duty to enter no matter what).
I have had students refuse to leave my office--I take it that's familiar? I have also had students refuse to leave the department when all staff and faculty are leaving.
- March 2, 2011 at 9:13 AM
With regard to the students who don't knock before entering, I think you should work in the nude and see if there's an increase/decrease in this behavior.

The Office of Marketing and Communications is located in Hopkins Hall. During the academic year, our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Summer hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
To raise awareness about homelessness and mental illness, Phi Rho will be holding its annual Hut-A-Thon beginning at 2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10.
The event will be held next to the sidewalk between Plassmann Hall and the Reilly Center until 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12.
Phi Rho is the St. Bonaventure chapter of Chi Sigma lota, the international honor society for students, professional counselors and counselor educators.
Members of Phi Rho will set up an actual hut and maintain it throughout the event.
According to Dr. Mary Adekson, the reason for the Hut-A-Thon is to put Phi Rho members and counseling students in the same discomfort as the homeless for three days and nights. "This allows our students to have empathy for the homeless when they get to the field to practice counseling," said Adekson.
Phi Rho secretary Tricia Dallas said members of Phi Rho will take turns collecting money. The proceeds from the Hut-A-Thon will be given to the Genesis House, a homeless shelter in Olean.
"We know how difficult it is scraping up money during college, but every little bit counts, even pennies," said Dallas. "We are hoping to raise a good amount of money, but we can't do that without help and support from the Bonaventure students and community."
About the University: Inspired for more than 150 years by the Catholic Franciscan values of individual dignity, community inclusiveness, and service, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them.

Joe Henry: The singer-songwriter is perhaps best known these days as a producer for his excellent work on albums by Allen Touissant, Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann and Solomon Burke, among others. But his own albums are reliably excellent, even as they flit around from country-folk to more experimental textures.
