Basic Information
Note: EPA no longer updates this information, but it may be useful as a reference or resource.
As a one-stop shop, ETOP connects you to programs that:
The Research and Development ContinuumThere are many support programs that address environmental technology research and development. The programs support different stages of technology development. EPA developed a guide—the Environmental Technology Research and Development Continuum—to the programs and the type of support they provide along the path from research to entry in the marketplace. EPA opportunities have been mapped onto this continuum to encourage academic, and public- and private-sector developers to invest time and money in the creation of new cost-effective environmental technologies.
Successful environmental technologies progress along the continuum, from basic research to full-scale commercialization and use. Technologies that fail to perform or are economically infeasible are dropped. The continuum includes six interdependent stages:
HistoryETOP was created as a result of a Congressional mandate that directed EPA to develop a "one-stop shop" office to coordinate similar programs that foster private and public sector development of new cost-effective environmental technologies. ETOP is an Internet portal, designed to outline and highlight EPA's environmental technology programs and give users direct access to funding and other incentive programs.
EPA also facilitates technology development through the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology (NACEPT) Environmental Technology Subcommittee.

The United States often faces difficult environmental challenges that seem unmanageable or involve high costs. Innovative technologies hold the key to cost-effective timely solutions that minimize adverse environmental effects. Many EPA programs and activities foster the development and use of innovative technologies. By coordinating these programs around priority environmental problems, EPA and its partners can better realize the potential that innovative technology holds for environmental protection.
ETC was established to enhance communication and coordination of all EPA technology activities. The problems addressed by the council are related to EPA's strategic plans and focused on defined environmental outcomes. The council's membership is from all EPA technology programs, offices, and regions. It meets regularly to discuss technology solutions, technology needs, and other program efforts.
Scope of Activities
The council's primary activities are:
- Identifying the priority environmental problems for which technology is a critical factor in providing a cost-effective solution
- Screening the problems, using stakeholder input to determine the priorities for the council's attention
- Organizing temporary Action Teams to evaluate the status of possible technology solutions and recommend actions to address the problem
Additional council activities include:
- Creating a network of technology contacts in EPA and the states in order to regularly share information
- Evaluating the effectiveness of ETC activities to enhance technology progress or adoption
- Serving as a central contact point for analyzing significant new technology proposals recommended by outside organizations or advisory groups, such as the National Advisory Council for Environmental Policy and Technology
Action Teams
Action Teams are composed of members of the council and other personnel from EPA, states, tribes, and other agencies. The teams are intended to be temporary and exist only as long as needed to meet defined objectives regarding particular environmental problems. The council defines the charge for each team, and teams report their progress to the council for discussion and further action. Participation on any Action Team is voluntary.
Action Teams are tasked with the following objectives:
- Identify innovative technologies
- Identify research gaps
- Provide support for the expansion of methods
- Quantify economic and human health benefits for the use of these methods

The first of Victoria's affairs was with David Clarke. They first met at New Year's Eve party the Graysons threw in 1990. It was love at first sight and these two embarked on a 3 year affair. You would hope that Victoria would have finally found someone she truly loved, but her sense of self preservation was much greater than the love she had for this man. The breaking point in their relationship for Victoria showed up in 1993 after the downing of Flight 197. Conrad was crippled with guilt and informed Victoria that if he went to prison, all of their assets would be frozen and she would have to raise Daniel all alone. The thought of her losing all of her money was unbearable. Soon Victoria began formulating a plan to frame her lover to the lifestyle she worked so hard to obtain.
First, she revealed David's deepest secret to Conrad and the white-haired man: David's wife wasn't dead. Secondly, on the night of the arrest she told David to meet her at his place at 9:00 so they could go to Conrad together and tell him everything. She had no intentions of confronting Conrad. She was simply ensuring that David would be home when the Feds came to arrest him. Lastly, her final betrayal to David involved Charlotte. Victoria confirmed the night of the arrest she was pregnant and she knew it was David's child. Victoria wasn't stupid and realized her marriage was going down the tubes. She needed a plan B because there was no backup plan. In a moment of evil brilliance, she invited Conrad to stay that night then told him later that she was pregnant with his baby. Meanwhile Conrad never suspected that his future daughter was actually the daughter of the man he sent to prison and later murdered.
Just like her relationship with Conrad, Victoria is always looking to game the system. Wealth and status, above all, are the most important things in this world. They need to be protected, even at the cost of the lives of the people who love her.

MCNY Panel Calls for West Side Development Oversight, Funding Transparency [1]
Submitted by Anonymous on
The sheer mass of public and private development planned for the West Side (between 14th and 42nd Street, West of 8th Avenue) is staggering.
Besides the Rail Yards themselves, current planning initiatives include:
-Commercial and residential buildout in response to the 2005 Hudson Yards Rezoning [3], including:
-The development of Hudson Boulevard, a grand pedestrian walkway between 10th and 11th Avenues.
-The Javits Expansion [4], overseen by the Empire State Development Corporation.
-The ARC (Access to the Region's Core) transit plan [5], which would double the number of trains coming from New Jersey into Penn Station.
-The new Moynihan Station [6], relocation of Madison Square Garden, and related high-rise commercial development on the site.
-The extension of the 7 train [7] West to 11th Avenue and South to 34th Street.
-The expansion of Clinton section of Hudson River Park. [8] Community Board 4's Anna Hayes Levin and former MTA chair Richard Ravitch both called attention to the lack of an overarching body to oversee the planning and financial aspects of this development. Ravitch called the West Side "planning run amok." He pointed to Moynihan Station as the key to smart planning, saying,"Until Moynihan Station is resolved, there will be a serious impediment to development on the whole West Side." Expansion of the station would promote natural growth of Midtown by adjacency, he explained, rather than starting with large commercial developments on 10th and 11th Avenues. He encouraged the MTA to hold off plans for the Rail Yards until Moynihan Station was settled.
All panelists called for financials of each project to be made public. University of Pennsylvania Planning Professor Lynn Sagalyn noted that press coverage of West Side development has not pushed the City, State or MTA to reveal how much these projects will cost or who would pay for them.
Likely, full buildout on West Side development will happen over the course of the next three decades or so. Chances are high that these projects will shift, scale back, or possibly fall through completely [9]. This development burst is in its infancy, so it's crucial that the public stay informed and demand accountability in both the planning and funding of these major projects.
A video of last night's discussion will be up next week.

Hardware capacitive buttons seem to be a love-it-or-hate-it affair. While many of us seem to prefer the versatility of the on-screen buttons most commonly seen on modern Nexus devices, others instead favor the increased usable screen real estate made possible by having dedicated keys outside of the display.
If you happen to own an HTC device, you are probably a fan of dedicated hardware buttons. But that's not to say that you can't tweak them to make them work better for you. XDA Senior Member denversc created an app called Capacitive Buttons Brightness, which does… Well, you guessed it. It allows you to change the brightness of your capacitive buttons.
Currently, the app officially supports the HTC One X (dual- and quad-core variants), HTC One X+, HTC One, and HTC One S. That said, many users have found that it also works on other devices such as the HTC One V, HTC Desire HD, HTC Evo 3D, Motorola Droid MAXX, and LG Optimus G.
The app allows you to change brightness in 3 steps: dim, bright, and off. The default on most Sense-based ROMs seems to be bright, whereas it is usually set to dim on most AOSP-based ROMs. Please note that the "off" setting does not work if you have the GV Integration app installed. Naturally, root access is required… But who here isn't rooted anyway?
Make your way over to the application thread to get started. And if you wish to build from this app, head over to the project's Google Code page.

Over the last month or so, we've brought you news of a new AOSP-based ROM making it's way around the forums. It's called PACman and it's a kang of CyanogenMod, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid all rolled into one. Users seem to be enjoying it because it's been ported to a decent number of devices. Now, HTC One V owners can give it a try as well.
As with with most HTC One V ROM releases, this came as a pair. Both the GSM and CDMA versions have their own port, so no need to worry about one not being supported. XDA Forum Member inyourface09 released the ROMs to XDA, along with the help of many others. The feature list is pretty typical for this ROM, and includes some of the best features from CM10, AOKP, and ParanoidAndroid.
The ROMs are pretty stable as well. There are two lists of things not working. For CDMA, the bug list includes:
Volume is muted by default to fix this use the volume rocker after install
Pin unlock under Tablet mode is scaled wrong, hard to unlock phone
Im sure you'll will find other issues
And for GSM:
Volume is muted by default to fix this use the volume rocker after install
Pin unlock under Tablet mode is scaled wrong, hard to unlock phone (Use Pattern 3×3-6×6)
Im sure you'll will find other issues, if you do either PM me or post in this thread
So really, the only difference is that the camcorder isn't working in GSM version. Since the volume issue isn't really a bug, that means the only issue these ROMs deals with scaling, so this is definitely daily driver material.
For additional info, check out the CDMA thread or the GSM thread.

How much an OEM supports its hardware is variable. Sometimes, they give frequent and timely updates. Other times, an update could take months or not happen at all. In the latter case, developers sometimes deliver an update much earlier than official release. HTC One V users have a chance to do that now with a full HTC Sense 4.1 port.
The ROM is a port from the HTC Desire S and contains a Sense 4.1-skinned build of Android 4.0.4. XDA Recognized Contributor shubhamchamaria has released the ROM for both the CDMA and GSM variants, so no matter which you're running, you can take part. The full feature list includes:
Ported from Desire S
Full Sense 4.1
First Sense Rom with 4.0.4
Extra Music enhancers like Wow SRS, 5.1 Surround etc
All Sense 4.5 Skins working perfectly and added into the Rom
Few useful apps included
All transitions of full sense
Weather animations
Leap view
Flip Clock
Proper 3D Rosie
Array of many Widgets of Full Sense
In terms of bugs, shubhamchamaria says they have all been squashed, so this is definitely daily driver material. There may be a few lurking about, but there should be nothing major wrong.
For more info, check out either the CDMA thread or the GSM thread.

The last time we brought you news about TWRP, it was to announce that TWRP 2.2.2 had been released. It had fixed a lot of bugs from the initial release of TWRP 2.2 and added a few new features. Very recently, TWRP has been updated again to version 2.3.
There were a whole bunch of awesome improvements with TWRP 2.2 and a lot of unique and brand new features as well. TWRP 2.3 promises no less. The official change log includes:
Rebased onto AOSP Jelly Bean source code
Rewrote backup, restore, wipe, and mount code in C++ classes for easier maintenance going forward
NOTE: backups from prior versions of TWRP are still compatible with 2.3
ADB sideload functionality from AOSP is included in 2.3, see this link for more info
Re-wrote fix permissions entirely in C++ and runs in a few seconds instead of a few minutes (thanks to bigbiff)
Improvements to zip finding in OpenRecoveryScript (should be a lot fewer GooManager automation issues)
Faster boot times
Added charging indicator while in recovery (only updates once every 60 seconds)
Additionally, XDA Recognized Developer Dees_Troy has reported that there is now support for spaces in backup names. Before, if you added a space to the name of a backup, it would not restore. Now users can use whatever naming convention they want.
One of the biggest changes, though, is all of the TWRP being rewritten in C++ and its move to recovery API 3 instead of API 2. With the code rewrite, it will allow TWRP to update more quickly and with more stability. With the API 3 change, it means that some flashable zip files may stop working because the developer needs to update the update-binary. If you don't want to wait for the developer, or the developer has ceased working on the project, you can find one to use on TWRP's official website. To install the latest TWRP, you can use the Goomanager application. Simply open the application, hit menu, and install open recovery.
If you want to check out the latest TWRP recovery for your device, check one of the links below.

Very often, devices have multiple releases. It is not uncommon for the variants to have hardware differences, as is the case on the international HTC One X and the AT&T version. Often times, devices also feature different radios than their sibling device, as is the case with GSM and CDMA variants of the same phone. And since you generally can't just flash one device's development work on the other, there can be a gap at times between developer support on the devices. This doesn't seem to be a problem for the HTC One V, as both versions have recently gotten unofficial ports of CyanogenMod 10. This is very much like when they got ICS Paranoid Android at the same time.
CyanogenMod 10 for the CDMA One V was released by XDA Recognized Contributor jmztaylor, while the GSM version is being handled by XDA Recognized Contributor Lloir. While there are different developers on each device, they've actually been working together along with a number of other developers and members to make the ROMs as stable as possible.
As we've been wont to point out, most Jelly Bean releases have been alphas or previews and haven't been really stable enough for daily use. This is where the One V deviates, as both ROMs are surprisingly stable. Other than a few bugs here and there, the biggest issues reported have been the LCD backlight never turning off and the camcorder not working. Those are also the ones reported on just the CDMA version. If you don't need camcorder and don't mind the backlight issue, then these can be used daily. For more info, check out the CDMA One V thread or the GSM One V thread.

Paranoid Android is one of the more colorful ROMs that has been making its way around the forums in recent months. We've brought you news of the hybrid ROM coming out on several devices already, but the ROM seems to be heading everywhere. It is a very unique ROM, the first truly hybrid phone / tablet ROM experiences for most devices. Unlike ROMs that have tablet mode, ParanoidAndroid uses P.A.L. and P.A.D. (Per-App-Layout and Per-App-Density, respectively) to allow users to set each application's DPI and layout.
The latest devices to get this unique ROM are the CDMA and GSM versions of the HTC One V. The first of the two versions to get it was the GSM version, posted by XDA Senior Member 1ceb0x, with the help of a few others. From there, XDA Forum Member salvy512 ported it to the CDMA version with the help of other members and devs.
Both ROMs are quite stable, with only a couple of issues. For the CDMA version, the only two things that don't work properly are Bluetooth—which doesn't work at all—and a notification light bug that only happens while the device is charging. For the GSM, the only issue is the Bluetooth issue. The reason for the Bluetooth issue is because it happens to be a bug on the local CM9 port, upon which the ROMs were based. Once CM9 gets Bluetooth fixes, the ParanoidAndroid ROMs should join the Bluetooth party as well. If you can handle not having Bluetooth, the ROMs are stable enough to use as daily drivers, and anyone who wants to check out the unique hybrid mode should definitely do so. It is pretty cool.
For additional info, check out the CDMA thread or the GSM thread.

Not too long ago, we brought you news that allowed HTC EVO 4G LTE users to customize their bootloaders. The process was pretty cool, allowing users to make their bootloader look however they want—including making it look unhacked. After the initial project was released, users clamored for this to be made available to more devices. The requests were heard and responded to. Now, the plugin has been made available to make the bootloader customizer for a number of HTC devices.
The process for a developer to port this is not hard. XDA Recognized Contributor regaw_leinad, who developed the application and plugin, takes a time out from the stags (yes, that's really him) to explain how:
it's basically all written, they just need to fill in the values for their hboot, and embed the hboot.img into the exe. I already have a placeholder for the hboot.img and android-info.txt so a drag and drop over them should keep it embedded.
Regaw_leinad is also creating the application for the supported devices, but wanted to release the plugin first so users had a chance to get it sooner. The current list of supported HTC devices include:
While the list is quite large, one must keep in mind that not all of these devices have S-Off, and users must have S-Off in order to actually use this application. To get started, visit the original thread.

Just about three months ago, we brought you news that the Team Win Recovery Project had received a massive update to version 2.1. April's release largely heralded the start of a new age in recoveries—where one would no longer have to deal with cumbersome menus, instead interacting with a very user-friendly GUI.
It wasn't simply about the GUI either. In addition to bringing an unrivaled level of UI polish, TWRP 2.1 offered users many advanced features such as update.zip queuing, a basic file manager, and dual storage support for Nandroid backups. Additionally, TWRP added support for the open source scripting engine OpenRecoveryScript, which works in conjunction with the previously covered GooManager.
How do you follow up something as revolutionary as TWRP 2.1? With TWRP 2.2, of course. That's how! The new release builds on the previous offering by delivering many recovery "firsts." For starters, this is the first recovery to feature on on-screen keyboard. Why would you want such a thing? How about naming and renaming Nandroid backups! TWRP 2.2 is also the only recovery to split extremely large backups, allowing users to backup and restore /data partitions larger than the 2 GB FAT32 file size limit.
In the words of XDA Recognized Developer Dees_Troy:
- On-screen keyboard in recovery! — supports long press, backspace repeat, and swipe left deletes everything left of the cursor
– Name new backups and rename existing backups
– Rename files and folders in the file manager
– Pseudo-terminal emulator
– Support decrypting an encrypted data partition on Galaxy Nexus (enter password using keyboard)
– Backup archive splitting — allows backup and restore of data partitions larger than 2GB
– Simplified XML layout support between resolutions
– Added dual storage selection radio buttons to zip install, backup, and restore pages
– Improved zip install compatibility
– Updated update-binary source code
– Numerous small bug fixes and improvements

One of the biggest and most important events for a newly released device is the release of the GPL-compliant kernel source code and of the stock ROM that was shipped with the device. There are a plethora of reasons why. Kernel developers can use the kernel source to create better kernels. Having a stock ROM, or in the case with HTC phones an RUU, allows users to return to fully stock should the need ever arise and help cure soft bricks if nothing else is working. It, like the kernel source, can also be used in developments on the phone and help port the ROM to other devices. Thus, the kernel source and RUU are both pivotal releases in development related to newly released devices.
The HTC One V just a fantastic start with XDA Forum Member pwelyn sharing the RUU and XDA Recognized Developer mdeejay posting news of the the kernel source. The development on the HTC One V has started off very slowly, but with things like kernel source being released and a stock RUU to play with, it is only a matter of time before more development gets under way in the form of a custom recovery, a host of ROMs, and custom kernels to flash. With the HTC One V being a part of the increasingly popular HTC One series devices, it's also very likely that this could help in the development of other HTC One devices. Or even more likely, this will probably aid in development for similar HTC devices also rocking the Snapdragon S2.
Head over to the kernel source and RUU threads to get started.

With all the excitement surrounding the launch of HTC's flagship One X, One XL, and One S phones, it's easy to forget that there are other phones in the HTC One lineup. Never fear, however, as we haven't forgotten about HTC's new chin-laden device.
While the 1.0 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 may not pack the same punch as what's found in its dual- and quad-core siblings and its 3.7″ WVGA screen doesn't pack in a ridiculous number of pixels, the One V may very well offer the right combination of screen size, speed, build quality, and price for those who don't demand the absolute bleeding edge in mobile technology. Plus, let's not forget that that this phone comes loaded with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and the thankfully subdued Sense 4.0—an update many HTC devices are still waiting for.
Head over to the newly created forum to get in on the discussion.
April 8, 2012 By: Former Writer
With the release of new Android devices, it is inevitable for their software to get ported to other devices from the same OEM. We've brought you some of this recently with the Xperia S UI being ported to various older Xperia devices. With every new generation coming out, it's going to end up on an older generation device, one way or another.
For the HTC Desire S, that time is now. XDA Senior Member proxuser has ported over a ROM from one of HTC's newest offerings, the HTC One V. While the ROM is still a work in progress, there is a lot of promise with the ROM currently. To begin with, the official list of what's working is longer than what isn't working, and that is always a great sign. To be more specific, what isn't working currently is only:
wifi hotspot
usb tethering
So camera, hotspot and USB tethering. Considering what some devices go through with ports, that's a phenomenal thing. With revision 3.3 only three weeks from release, it's clear that proxuser is going to support this for quite some time.
The port for the HTC Desire HD is even closer to completion, as the same developer is working on the same port as well. For the time being, the only thing that isn't working is the camera, so maybe getting hotspot and tethering fixed on that phone can bring some hope for Desire S users.
In any case, both of these ROMs are nearing completion, so Desire S and Desire HD users will soon be graced with the HTC One V goodies. Additional information, screen shots, a review video, change logs, feature list, credits and thank you list, and download links can be found in the Desire S and Desire HD threads.
March 17, 2012 By: ElCondor
The HTC One V's similarities to its older brother, the Desire S, make it ideal for developers to port ROMs between the devices. XDA Forum Member proxuser has come up with an Android 4.0.3 ROM sporting HTC Sense 4.0 for the Desire S and also the Desire HD.
One would assume that this ROM could be much heavier and less stable than stock because it is built for a more powerful device, but the developer assures us that this is simply not the case. In fact, he conjectures that this is the fastest and most stable ROM for the two devices. However, the ROM isn't quite flawless. Fortunately, the list of things that work is much longer than the things that don't. Currently, the main issues are the camera, WiFi hotspot, and SD card mounting functions.
Overall, the ROM seems to be good enough for day-to-day use for most people. Visit the Desire HD and Desire S threads for all information and download or check out a hands-on video to see how it looks.

For wee babies experiencing their first Halloween, I think the baby carrier costume is the most practical (that is, if you leave the house). Your baby is cozy and snug against you and you have your hands free.
Here are a few adorable sling costumes to try:
Spider: add white or silver (or glow-in-the-dark) web to black sling in less than 30 minutes. Instructions at www.mammasmilk.com/spider
Watermelon: Have an hour and a red or green sling? You can try this watermelon costume. More sling costume ideas like race car, peacock and pumpkin pie from Mammas Milk.
Other carrier costumes:
Lobster in a pot: Technically, this baby is in a carrier, albeit a thoroughly impractical one. Fantastically cute from our friends at PRAM.
Total Recall (Kuato & George): Nothing gets Daddy to carry the baby for Halloween like a costume inspired by a classic Schwarzenegger movie's mutant death scene, right? (Wait, was that sexist?) Bonus that it's comfy for parent and child! Check out our pal from, YourMomIsSoBerkeley and his kiddo:
Flower pot and gardener: Within the span of a few naptimes, you can pull off this costume and amaze your friends. Jess provides instructions on instructables.com/id/My-Little-Flower-Pot
Kate from This Place Is Now A Home made a white and red striped popcorn container out of felt and simply wrapped it around the Baby Bjorn she wore. But not before attaching real popcorn to her son's cap. Is this not the cutest family costume?

As she gazed around the massive City Creek Center on Wednesday evening, Amy Torman couldn't help but summon lyrics from a Billy Joel song.
"It makes me feel like an uptown girl," said the Layton resident. "It's so classy."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Torman was one of 2,000 people who paid $50 to attend a "sneak peek" charity event on the eve of the massive project's debut. The center officially opens to the public Thursday at 10 a.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony starts at 9:30 a.m.
Danielle and Max White drove more than 130 miles from Richfield to see the center, almost 10 years in the making.
"It's unreal what they have done," said Danielle. "It's surreal, you feel like you're somewhere else. It's definitely different than anything we've ever had before."
It's true. City Creek Center, with more than 90 retailers and restaurants, will be the only shopping center of its size opening nationally this year.
Those who attended the event, which included appetizers, live music and shopping discounts, were impressed with the mall's architectural features including a retractable skylight roof, a skybridge over Main Street, two 18-foot waterfalls, a meandering creek and lively fountains.
It all reminded shopper Janet Healy of something one might find on the East Coast or Europe — not Salt Lake City.
"We've finally grown up," she said.
The mall is part of the larger billion-dollar-plus City Creek project in downtown Salt Lake City, which includes offices, condos and apartments, and was built by the development arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Taubman Centers, a real-estate investment trust that owns or operates 26 shopping centers nationwide, worked closely with the LDS Church to develop and build the 700,000-square-foot center. In all, Taubman's investment in City Creek Center will total $76 million, and the company anticipates an 11 percent to 12 percent return, Chief Operating Officer Bill Taubman said Wednesday.
Rather than own the property outright, under the terms of its deal with the church, Taubman has agreed to lease the mall property on a long-term basis from the church, an arrangement similar to what's in place in Denver, where it operates Cherry Creek shopping center.
Even though the property is the only Taubman-owned mall in which shops won't be open on Sundays, the developers believe shopping dollars will simply be redistributed to the other six shopping days.
"Sunday is a less important day in this market than others," Taubman said.
However, not all the shoppers at Wednesday gala agreed.
"I'm disappointed that it won't be open on Sunday," said Angela Healy, who works on the 10th floor of the nearby Zions Bank building and has watched the project rise from a massive hole in the ground. But she was pleased to learn that the center's two restaurants — The Cheesecake Factory and Texas de Brazil Churrascaria — will be open on Sunday. They also will be the only two eateries that serve alcohol.
Even the Nordstrom café will be alcohol-free at City Creek.
Jason Mathis, executive director of The Downtown Alliance in Salt Lake City, said the fact that City Creek has a limited number of eateries is a plus for a host of nearby restaurants such as Caffe Molise, Martine and Naked Fish Japanese Bistro.
"They will totally benefit from the fact that City Creek Center doesn't have tons and tons of restaurants," he said.
But the overall mall project, he says, will be a great benefit to Main Street, which has struggled over the years as construction of the project lingered.
"There's this spillover retail effect. There are stores that may not want to be in the mall or who can't afford that rent but who want the proximity and the cache the mall provides."
One-third of the mall's tenant lineup is new to Utah or new to the Salt Lake City market, including jewelers Tiffany & Co. and Swarovski, luxury sportswear chain Michael Kors and high-end handbag purveyor Coach.
Plus, although Fashion Place in Murray has a Nordstrom, the one at City Creek will have a much different and distinctive merchandise mix, including two Gucci boutiques.Next Page >

The end of war

What other readers are saying about this title:
Savoy Truffle said:
I bet you will be as surprised as I was when you read John Horgan's The End of War. He argues convincingly that war is not an innate part of human existence, and that the end of war is not only possible, but inevitable. War is, in fact, a cultural contageon. Horgan gives examples of other cultural practices that seemed intractable only a few centuries or decades ago like slavery, torture, racism, corporal punishment, subjugation of women etc., that we now view as wrong and even unthinkable (even if these things persist in isolation, they are no longer considered acceptable or inevitable cultural values.) War is like this. When people change their minds and stop rationalizing the existence of war, war will end.

Silver Three Cent Pieces were also known as 'Trimes' and were minted from 1851 to 1873. They were the smallest United States silver coin.
Non-proof Silver Three Cent Pieces from 1863 to 1872 are rare as nearly the entire production was melted in 1873. 1873 was a scarce proof-only issue and the last year of the Silver Three Cent series with a mintage of just 600 coins.
CAC approved. Flashy mint luster and well struck with delicate shades of gold and turquoise.
CAC. A beautiful Gem with rich creamy white luster and an excellent strike. There is the barest touch of toning, mainly at the rim, to attest to the coin's originality and the overall eye appeal is superb!
CAC. Blazing brilliant mint luster with a very faint golden hue. The surfaces are essentially perfect and the eye appeal is outstanding.
CAC approved. Nearly full brilliant luster with subtle hints of gold. A gorgeous high-end Premium Gem!
CAC approved. A very scarce proof with an estimated 75 coins known to exist. This example is well struck with nice light gold surfaces and outstanding eye appeal. The 62 grade is very conservative.
Well struck and lustrous with light toning.
Here's a beautiful Gem Type-2 3-Cent Silver. Rich brilliant luster blankets this well struck coin with just a trace of color. The eye appeal is exceptional.
Blast white on the obverse with light gold on the reverse. A very scarce proof with a mintage of just 210 - by far the lowest proof mintage in the series!
Well struck and lustrous with attractive toning.
Well struck with super flashy luster that has a mellow golden hue. The surfaces are fantastic and show virtually no marks. A coin that looks considerably better than the typical MS-64!
CAC. A well struck Premium Gem with lustrous satiny surfaces that display rich toning of dove-gray, gold and turquoise.
An amazing example of this scarce Civil War era Three-Cent Silver with proof-like surfaces and frosted devices. The luster is fully brilliant and the surfaces unblemished on this Premium Gem. An obverse die bulge above the star, clash marks, and die polish lines in the fields are evidence of this being a business strike rather than a more commonly encountered proof. Only 21,000 minted.
A scarce Civil War era date with just 470 proofs and 12,000 business strike minted. This is a lovely blast white coin with heavily frosted devices and outstanding eye appeal.
A wonderful coin with pristine, deep mirrored surfaces and rich olive-green toning with hints of blue and gold. Only 625 proofs and 4,000 business strikes for this tough date.
A scarce date with just 960 proofs and 3,400 business strikes minted. This mostly brilliant, well detailed proof has a very faint golden hue and excellent eye appeal.
With a mere 3,400 business strikes made, a proof is the best chance collectors have of locating a high quality coin. This example has deep iridescent toning and excellent eye appeal. 960 proofs minted.
Closed 3. Beautiful rich blue-green mirrored fields with a touch of peripheral gold. The devices are frosted a lighter sea-green and the overall beauty of this scarce proof-only Three Cent Silver is truly compelling. Only 600 minted.
A proof-only date with a mere 600 pieces minted. This example has bright mirrored surfaces with a touch of toning mainly at the rim.
Rich deep iridescent toning with deep mirrored surfaces. A scarce proof-only date with just 600 minted.
CAC. Deeply mirrored surfaces with rich toning displaying hues of champagne, gold and blue. Only 600 pieces minted in this scarce proof-only year. Ex: 5/1957 Stack's Sale, lot 57 and pedigreed on the holder to the Teich Family Collection.

So I'll need some input from you guys on if these deals actually are good or not!

Fifteen-thousand miles will be covered in the run from Los An-geies to Atlanta in the Olympic Torch Relay; and contrary to popular belief, the entire journey will not be made by foot alone.

"Traditionally, math has been taught where students learn formulas, work problems and check answers, but don't see the connection between math and their interests and fields of study," Wattenberg said. The math department recently received funding to set up a classroom with 20 work stations, part of the Connected students' frustration after needing to sign into a class when it was full several weeks earlier. Right now students may register for 20 hours, and then fill out a signed petition to register for more hours. Students will have to wait until the second phase begins, at the beginning of the quarter, to increase their load.

"First, we want to engage our students in active learning; second, utilizing the 'hot buttons' on the web, students can customize courses to their own interests and backgrounds; and third, teachers can easily add material to their courses on the web, as needed." The web utilizes Hypertext Markup Language, whichempha-si zes links a nd connections to o ther material. "Barriers between disciplines disappear as students travel to other sites using these links and see the interconnecting principles," Wattenberg said. Students tapping into the Con classes," Farris said. "You can still register for more hours, just not during the first phase." The number of hours a student could register for over 20 was based upon the student's GPA, which has now been raised as well. Previously, a student needed only to have a 3.0 to increase the load. The new policy will require a 3.25, which approximately 25 of web technology users nected Curriculum Project will see a graphic of a Klein bottle. "The Klein bottle has no inside or outside," Wattenbergsaid. "We chose this symbol because utilizing the web's technology will enable us to teach math in a much broader sense, without the traditional confines." The Connected Curriculum Project has the added feature of movies that illustrate a mathematical principle as it applies to a real-life situation. These are also accessed by a hot button. "Because of the wealth of information available on the web, teachers can bring current events into their curriculum, such as NASA data or election results," Wattenberg said. percent of WSU students currently maintain, before the load will be increased.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

In their column in this issue of Psychiatric Services, Willging and Semansky (1) describe proposed changes to New Mexico's behavioral health care system. New Mexico's initiative is a unique approach to addressing the fragmentation of behavioral health care services and may serve as a model for addressing this issue in other states (2).
An analysis of the gap between the need for and provision of behavioral health services in New Mexico (3), completed in 2002, and the report of the President's New Freedom Commission (4), released in July 2003, identified fragmentation as one of the most critical issues facing behavioral health services in New Mexico and throughout the United States. Because multiple funding streams and multiple departments are involved, mental health and substance abuse services for children and adults are often disconnected and confusing for consumers, their families, and providers. New Mexico has duplicative administrative structures, multiple definitions for identical services, varying outcome and data requirements, confusing authorization and billing processes, inconsistent service delivery approaches, and inadequate mechanisms for quality oversight.
The New Freedom Commission called on the federal government and the states to conduct comprehensive planning to address this fragmentation. New Mexico is one of the first states to attempt such a comprehensive approach, not only to planning but to redesigning the financing and oversight of services funded, provided, or managed by 15 state departments.
New Mexico's Human Services Department contracts with three statewide Medicaid managed care organizations that serve children and adolescents and, to some extent, Medicaid-eligible adults. The Medicaid fee-for-service system has a utilization review process that is inconsistent with the processes used by the managed care organizations. Adults who are not covered by Medicaid are served through five regional care coordination organizations under contract to the Department of Health. Children and adolescents who are not eligible for Medicaid are served by providers who contract directly with the Department of Children, Youth, and Families.
Adults who have behavioral health care needs that affect their parole are served by programs funded directly by the Department of Corrections. Counties receive funding from the Department of Finance and Administration for treatment of persons who are convicted of driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Department of Transportation funds programs for prevention of driving while intoxicated. The Department of Health's office of school health works with school districts to bring health and behavioral health services to children and adolescents in schools. Vocational rehabilitation is the responsibility of the Department of Public Education, and jobs are the responsibility of the Department of Labor. Housing for persons with low incomes is addressed by the Mortgage Finance Authority, a quasi-governmental organization whose board is chaired by the Lieutenant Governor.
In September 2003 New Mexico's Governor, Bill Richardson, asked these entities and his health policy coordinator to collaborate on funding, services, and structures for state and federally funded behavioral health services in New Mexico (5). Legislation that created this Purchasing Collaborative became law in May 2004. Although the promise of this approach is clear, it is a huge undertaking to bring so many departments together to jointly procure a single statewide entity responsible for all behavioral health services and all mental health and substance abuse dollars. Achieving this goal means undoing or eliminating current administrative infrastructures at the state and regional levels, which will help reduce administrative costs.
Designing the requirements for and interdepartmental oversight of a single statewide entity and determining the appropriate role and shape of local community input and ownership are daunting tasks. Volunteer local systems of care will include providers, community health improvement councils, local councils for services for persons who drive while intoxicated, jails, schools, local elected officials, the faith community, tribal representatives, and consumers and their families. These systems will be responsible for local planning and identification of service gaps, providing input on the quality of service delivery at the local level, and creating intersystem referral and collaboration mechanisms to mirror the state collaborative effort in local communities.
Since the mid-1990s, New Mexico's history of designing and implementing major changes in the behavioral health system among departments and within the Medicaid system has been particularly troubling. Medicaid behavioral health services were carved into medical managed care organizations statewide over the objections of stakeholders. A separate regional structure for non-Medicaid services for adults was developed. Non-Medicaid services for children and adolescents and for adults leaving prisons were contracted directly without use of an intermediary. Ironically, previous decisions to integrate behavioral health and medical services within Medicaid led to increasing problems of fragmentation among behavioral health services funded by Medicaid and those funded by other sources and other agencies.
Each time systems were designed and changed, transitions were associated with confusion and start-up costs for providers as well as difficulties for consumers, consumers' families, and other systems that were required to interface with behavioral health providers and service recipients. New Mexico does not want to repeat mistakes of the past. It will be difficult to take behavioral health services out of the current Medicaid managed care organizations, in which pharmacy and transportation and care coordination services and activities are intertwined with health care services. Eliminating the regional care coordination system, developing local systems of care, selecting one statewide entity for the management of behavioral health dollars, and then making the transition to this entity will be associated with disruption. Moving contracts that have been entered into by multiple state departments to a single statewide entity will require careful consideration of the special requirements and needs of each population served. Asking local communities to organize into local systems of care that address all mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment issues will be challenging.
To accomplish all this, New Mexico will proceed in phases. Planning and transition will take place before July 1, 2005. Phase One will encompass the one-year period beginning July 1, 2005, when the statewide entity begins operating. The goals for Phase One are to achieve continuing transition and to ensure that services are delivered, providers are paid, and required data are collected while system changes for Phase Two are being planned for. Phase Two will take place over a two-year period and will involve work on service and system changes and on improving results in consumer and family outcomes and system performance. Phase Three will be a time during which the system is mature, performance and outcome expectations are being met, and the state can concentrate on improving quality and increasing resources.
A significant transition planning process has begun, which will include activities before and during Phase One to ensure that issues pertaining to the consumer, the consumer's family, the provider, and staff are addressed. This transition process will allow New Mexico to both plan changes and make adjustments over time (6).
As the process began, the most immediate issue was to determine the structure by which multiple state agencies would work together and how these agencies would jointly procure one statewide entity to administer and manage a single coordinated system of behavioral health care. An interdepartmental staff work group led by New Mexico's Department of Human Services began meeting weekly and produced a concept paper for review and comment by the public (7). Governor Richardson named a behavioral health manager to coordinate this interdepartmental process (8).
The Purchasing Collaborative met for the first time on June 11, 2004. The meeting was co-chaired by the secretaries of the Department of Health and the Human Services Department. During that meeting, the Collaborative approved a memorandum of understanding governing how it will operate and make decisions. A single boilerplate legal contract for the statewide entity has been drafted, as has an implementation plan that will form the basis of a Request for Proposals, which was made available for public comment in July 2004. The final Request for Proposals will be released no later than the fall of 2004 so that the successful applicant can be selected and begin transitions in early 2005 to coincide with the new Medicaid managed care organization contracts that must be in place by July 1, 2005.
Early in the process, a group of advisors representing consumers, their families, advocates, providers, primary care physicians, tribes, and other stakeholders was selected to help the staff work group develop the ideas for the public concept paper (7). Staff conducted several public forums and established a Web site (www.state.nm.us/hsd/bhdwg) and an e-mail address (email@example.com) to facilitate public comment on the process and on written materials as they are developed. The Collaborative meetings themselves are open to the public, and the agenda for each meeting will include time for public comment. In addition, the new law created a single behavioral health planning council to advise the Collaborative and provide the framework for any advisory process pertaining to mental health or substance abuse issues in the state. A significant number of interested stakeholders have taken advantage of these input mechanisms.
In addition to the timing of the planning process, Willging and Semansky (1) have identified the nature of the contract with the statewide entity, the comprehensiveness of the benefit package, program evaluation activities, and safety net infrastructure as issues that must be addressed. All these issues are being considered as the design process unfolds (7). Because the statewide entity's contract will involve different kinds of funding mechanisms, different financial mechanisms will be used, including at-risk capitation funding, program funding, and possibly service units or population-based funding.
Changing the model of purchasing services will not make up for an inadequate benefit package, add new money to an underfunded system, or ensure that evidence-based practices are used by behavioral health practitioners. However, the process has already helped agencies identify areas in which funds could be used differently to maximize limited resources as well as opportunities for joint funding proposals to increase available resources for planning, services, and evaluation.
Structural reforms change the nature of the system but do not necessarily change the kinds of services delivered or the amount of funding available. These variables must be addressed regardless of the structure for financing and managing services. We believe that a single integrated system, working toward common goals and outcomes, will serve as a stronger base for advocating for additional resources and a more adequate benefit package in the years to come. We also believe that a streamlined structure will provide the environment in which evidence-based practices and consumer- and family-driven services can flourish, be nurtured, and thrive. This structure will form the groundwork for the recovery and resilience we are seeking for persons with serious mental illness, emotional disturbance, or addictive disorders and for their families.

Syrian Students March to US Embassy to Protest Israeli Repression
Hundreds of Syrian students rallied Wednesday morning in solidarity with the Palestinian people in the wake of the Aqsa Intifada, which has so far seen 63 Palestinian martyrs.
The students headed for the US embassy in Damascus where they chanted slogans against the Israeli atrocities and burned the Israeli flag.
The march was escorted by Syrian police, whereas anti-riot units were stationed around the American embassy in fear of violence.
The rally was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, but security forces interference delayed it. However, about a hundred students were able to reach to Red Cross headquarters in Damascus and delivered a statement condemning the Israeli terrorism.
Observers did not rule out that violence might breakout at US and British facilities in the city.
