Bonn, Germany. New conservation plans for the Siberian Crane Grus leucogeranus covering its entire range and migration routes that span continents have now been endorsed to save the species from extinction. During its annual migration, the Siberian Crane travels 5,000 kilometers from its breeding grounds in Yakutia and western Siberia, intermediate resting and feeding places, to its wintering sites in southern China and Iran respectively.
The Hague, The Netherlands - Key organisations from the Wings Over Wetlands project partnership, representing the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement (AEWA), Wetlands International and BirdLife International signed a historic collaborative agreement to redouble their efforts to conserve migratory waterbird species and their critical habitats in Africa and Eurasia.
The Hague, the Netherlands. A new website providing information on thousands of wetlands and hunderds of waterbird populations shows the difficult situation for the migratory waterbirds of Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Central Asia.
After a long process since the adoption of the Renewable Energy Directive, the European Commission has now made clear that biofuels produced or imported to the EU cannot be produced at the cost of wetlands, peatlands or forests.
Bonn, Germany. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will explore further guidance for monitoring greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands. This is a crucial step towards a decision by the UN Climate Summit in December in Mexico to allow countries to reduce emissions through rewetting drained wetlands.

Golden dos and don'ts of credit cards
Posted: June 27, 2012|
Credit cards are a financial staple for many Brits. But exactly how you choose to use your plastic can make a huge impact on your wallet. Here we look at when your credit can be your best flexible friend - and when it's the very last payment method you should use.
DON'T! Assume your credit card is good for every transaction
There are times when your credit card should be given a very wide berth. For example, cash withdrawals are generally charged at much higher rates of interest than standard purchases.
Recent MoneySupermarket research found that the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is typically charged at between 23% and 28%. This compares to an average credit card APR of around 17%.
Many credit card providers also impose cash withdrawal fees of around 3%, with the majority specifying a minimum amount such as £2 or £3 per transaction.
What's more, the interest accrues from the date of the transaction, rather than the next payment date, so there is also no escaping the cost of cash advances - even if you clear your balance in full with your next payment.
But a lesser-known fact is that the same charges also apply to purchasing foreign currency with your card, buying postal orders and even gambling online.
So, if you are planning to pay for your holiday money with your credit card this year, it could end up costing you a lot more than you expected.
If you have no other option, at least ensure you use a card that offers a low rate of interest across the board.
The Co-operative Bank's low-rate Fixed Rate credit card, for example, has a representative APR of just 9.9%(variable) for all types of transaction, including cash advances.
Meanwhile, the Barclaycard Simplicity card has a representative APR of 7.9% (variable) on both balance transfers and purchases and charges 15.8% (variable) on cash advances.
DO! Use the best card when going on holiday
If you are planning to use your credit card to spend on when you arrive overseas, instead, it's still worth shopping around for the best one. This means a card that doesn't charge foreign exchange fees (also known as loading fees or foreign transaction fees) every time you hand over your plastic to make a purchase which are usually levied at between 2.75% and 2.99%.
For example, the Sainsbury's Gold credit card, will not charge foreign exchange fees or for withdrawing cash from an ATM. And, unusually, it will not charge interest on cash withdrawals, so long as you repay your statement balance in full.
The Sainsbury's card does come with a £5 monthly fee offers cardholders a worldwide annual travel policy covering a family of up to six children. And, unlike many other standard policies, this includes cover winter sports.
The representative APR is a very low 9.94% (variable) - though you will need a good credit score to qualify.
Look also at the Post Office Platinum card which doesn't charge for over-the-counter purchases abroad. And if you buy your travel money through the Post Office, there is no cash advance fee either. However it does charge on ATM cash withdrawals - at the greater of £3 or 2.5% of the amount withdrawn.
In any case though, cash withdrawals on credit cards are usually best avoided. Not only do you run the risk of getting into debt, but interest is usually higher than on purchases and charged from the minute the cash is withdrawn.
DON'T! Leave a balance languishing on a card
The average annual interest rate on a credit card is a staggering 17.32% according to Bank of England figures - and many charge north of 18%. But there is no need to pay this kind of interest on any existing balance. Instead, transfer it to a card that offers 0% interest for a given period of time.
The current market leader in these stakes is the Barclaycard Platinum with Extended Balance Transfer card which offers an incredible 22 months at 0% on balances transferred, in return for a 2.9% fee. It also offers 0% on purchases for the first three months. After the introductory period ends, the card has a representative APR of 17.5% (variable) so you will need tobe sure you have cleared your balance by then.
The Halifax Balance Transfer credit card is another winner in these stakes, offering 22 months at 0% on for a 3.5% fee as well as 0% on purchases for the first three months.
While the terms are not quite as favourable as Barclaycard's, it does offer perks including deals and discounts on travel, entertainment and shopping.
DO! Reap rewards if you clear your balance every month
Paying off your credit card balance every month is always good practice as it is good for your credit score and you don't run the risk of getting into debt. But the benefits run deeper than this.
There is a whole raft of cards that actually pay you for spending, either in terms of rewards or even cash back in your pocket.
The American Express Platinum Cashback for example, offers 5% cashback on purchases for the first three months on spend of up to £2,000 - and up to 2.5% thereafter. The interest rate if you don't clear your balance is 14% (variable) but, once you have added in the £25 annual charge that the card levies, this pushes the APR up to a representative 18.5% (variable). However, so long as you clear the balance, no interest will apply and you will be left only to make a profit.
But depending on how and where you shop, it could be better to earn points rather than cash. With the M&S credit card, for example, you earn one point for every £1 spent in store, and one point for every £2 spent elsewhere.
Once you have 100 M&S points, you'll get a £1 reward voucher to spend in store. The M&S card also offers 0% interest on purchases for the first 15 months, after which time a representative APR of 15.9% (variable) applies.
REMEMBER! There are other ways to pay!
Especially if you are turned down for a 0% credit card deal, using plastic may not always be the best way to pay.
Personal loan rates for example are the cheapest they have been for almost five years. The best on the market is currently Sainsbury's Shopper Personal loan which offers a representative APR of 5.9% providing you want to borrow between £7,500 and £15,000 over one to three years.
If you only need a smaller amount, however, it may be worth switching your current account to take advantage of one of the market-leading overdraft offers.
First Direct's 1st Account, for example, offers a £250 interest-free overdraft buffer zone, as well as paying new customers a generous £100 switching incentive.
Nationwide's FlexAccount, meanwhile, charges 0% on arranged overdrafts for the first three months, allowing you to avoid interest charges altogether, so long as you pay the debt off within the interest-free period.

He will read from his works Wednesday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m. in Bucknell Hall. The reading is open to the public without charge.
Appleman has published seven volumes of poetry including the most recent, New and Selected Poems, 1956-1996; three novels, including Apes and Angels; and half a dozen nonfiction books, including the widely used Norton Critical Edition, Darwin.
His poetry and fiction have won many awards, including a fellowship in poetry from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Castagnola Award from the Poetry Society of America, the Friend of Darwin Award from the National Center for Science Education, and the Humanist Arts Award of the American Humanist Association.
His works have appeared in such publications as Harper's Magazine, The Nation, New Republic, New York Times, Paris Review, Partisan Review, Poetry, Sewanee Review, and Yale Review.
He has given readings at the Library of Congress, the Guggenheim Museum, the Huntington Library, and many universities. He is Distinguished Professor Emeritus in the department of English at Indiana University.
The Sojka Series was established in 1995 through the generosity of Gary Sojka, who served as president of Bucknell 1985-95, and his wife, Sandra.

Brevard County Sheriff's Corporal Deputy Chris Wood apologized to fellow squad members Wednesday morning, several days after using a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea in an attempt to lecture them about sharing their opinions about the George Zimmerman trial, according to Sheriff Wayne Ivey."He is very regretful he chose that mechanism to deliver the message" Ivey told FOX 35. "He apologized to the entire squad this morning. And they were receptive to that."In an interview with FOX 35, Sheriff Ivey says Corporal Chris Wood, a ten year veteran of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, addressed sixty or so of his fellow employees during a 6 a.m. morning roll call on Saturday, the day George Zimmerman was acquitted of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
According to the Sheriff, there was a lot of talk about the trial among employees, and many were sharing their opinions before the verdict was announced.Although the verdict hadn't been reached at the time, the sheriff says Corporal Wood stepped to the front of the briefing room with a pack of Skittles in one hand, and an Arizona Ice Tea in the other. Several deputies who spoke to FOX 35 on the condition of anonymity say Cpl. Wood then lectured them on needing to know the facts of the case before expressing their opinion on it. A pack of Skittles and a can of Arizona Iced Tea were purchased by Martin before he was killed, and were used by the prosecution in a failed attempt to make Martin's motives appear innocent during his fatal fight with Zimmerman. Zimmerman was acquitted of a second-degree murder charge. "My concern is the lack of sensitivity, not understanding the magnitude of what was going on in the world" said Sheriff Ivey.The sheriff says Cpl. Wood was disciplined with a written letter of reprimand and will be required to attend sensitivity training.Cpl. Wood works as a corrections supervisor at the jail, but is also a K9 bloodhound handler. He
has not responded to FOX 35's request for comment. Ivey says Wood has received several awards for his work as a handler during calls for service.

Fisker began development of a revolutionary car, the Karma , roughly four years ago. At that time, folks were optimistic, excited, and had almost only good things to say about this upstart company. It's crazy how fast things can change.
As time moved on, Fisker started running into some real issues that would likely destroy many startup companies. The downward trend started with the DOE freezing its loan to Fisker after it had only used about half of the available funds. The next issue was a pair or recalls – one in December 2011 and another in May 2012 – because of incorrectly positioned hose clamps that could cause a coolant leak. And you likely know, electricity and water do not mix.. Then came the fires…
The first fire came about in April 2012, when a man's house and other two cars were damaged after his Karma caught fire in the garage. The cause of that fire was not known, but it is likely related to the following fire that came just months later. This second fire occurred in August and was easily contained to just the front end of the $100K luxury car. The one good thing to come out of this fire is that Fisker was quick to the aid of the owner and quick to mobilize a group of outside investigators to figure out that it was a failed low-temperature fan that caused the flame.
This final fire brought about the final recall of the Karma, to date. In this recall, Fisker asked 1,377 Karma customers to bring cars in to have the cooling fan replaced. Between all of these issues were complaints from customers about a Command Center that didn't operate effectively and a "Stealth" mode that wasn't too stealthy. Adding to those complaints was a very poor review of the Karma by Consumer Reports.
With these issues came a shellacking from the press – automotive and general – and all Fisker could do was try and get its own version of the story out. Well, we just gave Fisker an avenue to air its side of the story in our exclusive interview with Fisker's Senior Director of Global Corporate Communications & PR, Roger Fisker.
To read what Fisker has to say about these issues and more about its future, click past the jump.
Gallery Fisker Atlantic
Gallery Fisker Karma
We all know that the Fisker Karma is an awesome car, there's really no debating that. Its numerous awards – Top Gear Luxury Car of the Year, Time Magazine 50 Best inventions, to name a few – are indicators of how innovative it really is. Additionally, to have a 5,300-pound luxury car that hits 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and nets out 54 MPGe is simply astonishing, but, it is not without its issues. First up is the Fisker Command Center, which has mostly received complaints about its reaction speed and the fact that the screen washes out under direct sunlight.
"As a design led company we took a non-traditional approach to the command center, putting form before function – in hindsight, that's not what all consumers expect from a luxury car."
As expected, Fisker couldn't comment directly on what it is doing with the Command Center heading forward, but it was open in letting us know that it has and is continuing to gather feedback from consumers and the media about what issues they are having. The issue with washout is simply the fact that the screen is gray and that seems to be, from Mr. Ormisher's statements, already in the works to be upgraded. The reaction speed is a little trickier; as just like a computer, the Command Center needs time to boot up an, as Mr. Ormisher put it "As a design led company we took a non-traditional approach to the command center, putting form before function – in hindsight, that's not what all consumers expect from a luxury car." Fisker is working diligently and quickly to release a new command center and heads-up display and has already provided software updates to customers that have improved functionality tremendously. Our best guess on the Command Center speed is a switch over to solid state equipment, if it's not already in use. If the Karma already uses solid state equipment, then we are at a loss as to how to improve upon that.
The driver can enjoy up to 50 miles of "Stealth" driving in full-electric.
Fisker also received some grief regarding the gasoline engine turning on in "Stealth" mode. Mr. Ormisher was open in letting us know that the engine kicking on is just a requirement for emissions and a diagnostic check. The driver can enjoy up to 50 miles of "Stealth" driving in full-electric. Fisker has, however, installed a resonator on the engine to help quiet it down a little, but they do realize that it is still a little off and are working toward quieting the engine down. Another reason that the Karma's engine turning on is so noticeable is because it runs so quiet in "Stealth" mode, and that the engine revs a little high in order to charge the batteries , Ormisher put it into perspective by saying "the engine sounds a little like one connected to a CVT as you accelerate."
The next topic we moved to is a pretty touchy one that garnered a ton of bad press from the media, and that is regarding the latest fire issues. It was determined rather quickly that the issue that caused the fire was the front-mounted fan and Fisker was swift to announce a recall, as it sent a recall notice to its customers within a week of the fire. In fact, Mr. Ormisher commented that "We had our recall out before the NHTSA did, not that it was a race." We asked Mr. Ormisher about the fan-testing process and he made it clear that it is the fan manufacturer's responsibility to test the fans as an independent unit and the "fans have undergone thousands of miles of on-road testing without issue" and there are no plans to test every fan unit that comes into their manufacturing center, though they are spot checked at random. Also made clear is that Fisker is doing right by its fan supplier and sticking with it, but Fisker added an in-line fuse as a second failsafe above and beyond the improvements that the fan manufacturer made.
Related to the previous topic is what Fisker has done and plans to do to improve its brand image. The plan so far and into the future, per Ormisher, is "An ongoing dialogue with our consumers to get feedback and ideas on how to improve the Fisker brand." Fisker is updating faulty or subpar software free of charge and providing its customers with a comprehensive warranty. Fisker also feels that a lot of its bad press is partially politically motivated by the DOE loan that it accepted, but many don't realize that DOE loan is insignificant compared to the $1.2 billion that it has raised privately.
We also touched on what could be the cause of the issues that Fisker has run into lately. Was it due to the Karma being rushed out or was it maybe just startup company growing pains? Mr. Ormisher offered up that Fisker feels it is more just because there is such a steep learning curve in the alternative-fuel business and that there was also just a run of bad luck. In no way was the Karma rushed into production.
Mr. Ormisher made it clear that Fisker is still in fundraising mode, as it works toward becoming a profitable and self-sustaining business.
Another hot topic on the Fisker front is its financial situation and the $100 million it recently raised in a fundraising blitz. We also got into how Fisker looks on the financial front, overall. Mr. Ormisher made it clear that Fisker is still in fundraising mode, as it works toward becoming a profitable and self-sustaining business. It actually led in venture investment in Orange County, CA in the third quarter of 2012 and it was no small margin of victory, as Fisker raised $103.7 million and the next closest was Sambazon at $8.9 million. This huge number accounted for 81 percent of all venture investments in the O.C.
Fisker is also totally intent on paying back the portion of the DOE loan that it was allotted prior to it getting frozen. To date, it has made all of the interest payments as required and will also pay back the principle in full.
In terms of the $100 million that it recently raised, we dug a little bit into how Fisker plans to allocate this money in a responsible way. Its intentions are to use this, plus the other $300 million it has raised, to work on paying off the DOE loan, marketing here in the U.S., which is huge for the company's future success, expansion into United Arab Emirates and China, with the latter coming by the end of the year, and a portion of it will go toward developing the all-new Atlantic.
With every company, there is a field of view. Some companies look 10 years ahead and others don't go more than a year into the future. In Fisker 's case, Ormisher states "We are looking about two to three years ahead" in terms of development, growth, and lineup expansion. Inside of these three years, the only lineup expansion that Fisker sees is the addition of the Atlantic. We grilled Mr. Ormisher on potential other models and possibly more performance-oriented variants of the Karma and he made it very clear that the Atlantic is the only future model in the works and that the Atlantic is the bread-and-butter car in Fisker's success, but Ormisher noted that the Karma will "…remain as our halo car."
more performance-oriented versions of the Karma are not completely out of the question
Mr. Ormisher did, however, say that more performance-oriented versions of the Karma are not completely out of the question. However, in the current state of the company, there is no interest in exploring those options and its focus is 100 percent on developing the Atlantic and marketing it and the Karma.
We also touched on the possibility of Fisker looking into going all-electric in the future. Mr. Ormisher let us know that in the foreseeable future, extended-range EV systems are all that you will see in the Fisker lineup. Fisker has a high view of the EV realm, but Ormisher states that "all-electric cars are just not at a stage for practical everyday use." Ormisher continues, "Extended range EVs afford us the opportunity to enjoy our motoring more responsibly without worrying about the car [charging and range] interfering with our daily routines." We take that as a not now, but as technology evolves, Fisker will likely look into it.
A more recent hot topic is the A123 bankruptcy and the likely takeover by Johnson Controls, and how this may impact Fisker in the future. First and foremost, the bankruptcy of A123 shouldn't affect Fisker in any way, as it already has a contract with Johnson Controls to provide the 12-volt battery that the Karma uses. Fisker has no concerns in terms of quality issues either, as Johnson Controls is considered a "Tier-1" supplier.
Recently, Fisker released a statement that the Atlantic will start production in 2014. The expectations of the media has been that the Atlantic will begin in 2013 and that put it two years behind our schedule. Mr. Ormisher states "There was never a hard timetable set up for the Atlantic" and "the delay is more like six months, not two years." Roger also let us know that the A123 bankruptcy will not affect the Atlantic's production, as Ormisher stated "We haven't even chosen a battery provider yet." The delay that we are seeing is purely a cash flow deal, as Fisker continues to raise the capital needed to produce the Atlantic.
With that, we will move onto the upcoming Atlantic, which everyone is awaiting. This will be the car that makes or breaks Fisker , as it is their "mainstream" car. In terms of it sharing any components with the Karma, Mr. Ormisher stated "I cannot comment on a specific number of parts, but the Atlantic will have mostly new components." Reading between the lines, we think this means that the Atlantic will likely share some of the electrical components, and maybe the Command Center setup with the Karma, but nothing mechanical.
In Detroit, Fisker had a big media event and brought a Karma to the event for the press to see. Several reports said that the doors squeaked very loudly as you opened them and we took a jab at Fisker about this, so we wanted to get an explanation. Mr. Ormisher laughed and stated "We don't keep a fleet of press vehicles around, that car was a dealer car that wasn't even ready for delivery." The car literally left the dealer before it was inspected, so the doors were likely not lubricated. I can validate this, as I worked at several dealerships and when cars come in, they often do have squeaky joints that need a little grease. We can chalk this one up as Fisker trying to give the media a good look at the Karma and in its efforts was stuck showing an un-prepped car.
With Tesla moving away from the Roadster and into the Model S and X, we wanted to get Fisker's opinion on the move, but, as expected, Fisker can't comment on Tesla , though Tesla seems to enjoy commenting on Fisker, and simply wishes Tesla well. With that out of the way, we felt it appropriate to see if Fisker is interested in a 2-door sports car in the future. Mr. Ormisher said "There is no interest by Fisker to go anywhere beyond the Atlantic for now." In our opinion, we think a sports car is the logical next step after the Atlantic, so we'll see in a few years.
In an attempt to squeeze a little information on the Atlantic, we asked if the Atlantic is going to be a little more performance oriented than the Karma – not that the Karma is a slouch. We were, as expected, greeted with a "I can't comment on that," but he did let us know that "with the low center of gravity that the electric-drive system affords all electric vehicles, it will be a sure handler, just like the Karma." We assume that since Fisker shared with us that the Atlantic is smaller and will feature lighter batteries and motors, that it will likely be a good bit quicker than the Karma.
"you cannot compare a 5,300-pound luxury car that performs like the Karma to a Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi i-MiEV."
Mr. Ormisher also fired back a little on some of the media and reviews on the Karma that criticize it for "only" getting 54 MPGe. To paraphrase what he laid out: "you cannot compare a 5,300-pound luxury car that performs like the Karma to a Nissan Leaf or Mitsubishi i-MiEV." We tend to agree there, as they are completely different cars marketed to completely different consumers. He then went on to say "The Fisker Karma allows its owners to enjoy the power, speed, and comfort of a performance luxury sedan, while still getting 53 mpg." We certainly couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Now that we have gotten a grander view of what is really going on in Fisker's offices and how much they truly do care about their consumers, we think it is time to lose the high-powered microscope and watch the company as a whole. As a startup company, it is going to hit some speed bumps along the way and it's how the company responds to these bumps that will make it or break it. From what we can see, Fisker is really striving to make things good for all of its consumers and that can blossom into major success in the future.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker said Friday morning that Wisconsin will not set up its own health insurance purchasing exchange under the federal health reform act.
The Republican Walker told the Obama administration that he'll let the federal government set up Wisconsin's system.
Walker's announcement was somewhat expected. He's been saying for about a week that Wisconsin would not appear to have much leeway in setting the marketplace which it must offer to individuals and small businesses starting in 2014.
The state's largest business and hospital groups urged the governor to let Wisconsin create its own exchange – which will include a menu of affordable private health plans for people to choose from, especially lower-income individuals.
But the Independent Insurance Agents of Wisconsin said it respected Walker's decision. The group said it has its own problems with the exchange idea – including the creation of navigators which the insurers say would lack the knowledge and ability to protect consumers.
Walker told U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that Wisconsin has provided insurance to over 90 percent of its residents without an exchange. And he said that a state exchange would, "not provide the flexibility to meet our state's unique needs, or to protect our state's taxpayers."

Go to a safe place, contact someone you trust (or call an advocate, see #2), and seek immediate care at Chester County Hospital, Brandywine Hospital, Paoli Hospital or the Student Health Center. It is important to check for injuries, sexually transmitted infections (STI's), or pregnancy. (See page 10 in the Sexual Misconduct Policy for more information)24 hour assistance is available at:
If you want to submit evidence (commonly known as a 'rape kit'), it is best collected within 72 hours of the assault. Evidence can be submitted at a hospital but not at the University health center. It is recommended that you do not shower or change your clothes before going to the hospital so as to retain as much evidence as possible. (Bring a change of clothes as well).
You do not have to press charges if you undergo evidence collection.Back to Top
A Crime Victim Advocate from the Chester County Crime Victims' Center can accompany you to the hospital to provide support and answer any questions you may have. To obtain an advocate call 610-692-7273. The hospital emergency room can also obtain an advocate for you at your request.Back to Top
Each hospital varies, but we recommend having a Crime Victim advocate with you for assistance. Some hospitals will also have a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), a nurse who is trained specifically in sexual assault medical care. For more information go to http://www.rainn.org/get-information/sexual-assault-recovery/rape-kit.Back to Top
The Student Health Center, a local hospital, or at Planned Parenthood.Back to Top
To press criminal charges, call 911 or contact your local police department. Filing a police report will initiate a criminal investigation.
You have three options to file a report on campus:
You can fill out a form online at www.wcupa.edu/sexualmisconductreport or by visiting any office listed in the On-Campus Resources below. Paper copies can be submitted to Barbara Schneller, Office of Social Equity, 13/15 University Avenue, West Chester University, West Chester, PA, 19383.Back to Top
The University will do their best to maintain confidentiality while investigating, and will not inform parents or guardians. However, in cases of life-threatening situations, confidentiality is not legally possible. The University will inform the victim that an investigation will be done.Back to Top
No. When a victim reports a crime to the police, the police will do a investigation and often the police/detectives will confer with the District Attorney's Office about pressing charges. Pennsylvania is a Commonwealth and as a result it is always the Commonwealth that will "press the charges". Chester County District Attorney's welcomes victims' input in all crimes and specifically sexual assaults.Back to Top
You may report the incident to the local police department. If the perpetrator was a WCU student, you may still file a campus complaint.Back to Top
You do not have to report a sexual assault if you do not want to. However, if you would like to receive emotional support, the WCU Counseling Center, WCU Women's Center, and National Center for Victims of Crime Stalking Resource Center are all good resources.Back to Top
You will be called to a Judicial Board Hearing where you can have a support person and an advisor/attorney who can be consulted privately but cannot participate in the proceedings. There are also several on- and off- campus resources available for legal support and counseling. (see answers to question 19)Back to Top
You generally will not face disciplinary charges from the University, Department of Public Safety, or Police.Back to Top
On-Campus Legal Advice is available by appointment, which can be scheduled by logging onto your myWCU account, and clicking on the "Legal Advice" link in the lower right-hand corner of the screen.Back to Top
Initial medical evaluation costs will be covered by a hospital if you file a police report. If you do not wish to file a police report, the WCU Victims' Assistance Fund will cover the cost for care delivered at the WCU Health Center. On-campus counseling and legal advice are free for students.Back to Top
The Office of the Assistant Dean of Students can arrange changes in academic schedules or housing. Residence Life can also assist you in housing reassignment (610-436-3307).Back to Top
Having the support of a friend can be invaluable to someone who has been sexually assaulted. Knowing the resources available and being able to provide support in whatever steps he/she decides to take are important. There are also resources available for you if you need someone to talk to.Back to Top
Make sure you are communicating effectively with your partner before and during any sexual interaction. Remember, impairment due to drugs or alcohol, physical force or abuse, intimidation, coercion, mental or physical impairment, threats, or isolation takes away a person's ability to freely consent. If you're not sure if you have consent, STOP.Back to Top

Spam is most often considered to be electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited email. However, if a long-lost brother finds your email address and sends you a message, this could hardly be called spam, even though it is unsolicited. Real spam is generally email advertising for some product sent to a mailing list or newsgroup.
In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted e-mail, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Consequently, there are many organizations, as well as individuals, who have taken it upon themselves to fight spam with a variety of techniques. But because the Internet is public, there is really little that can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. However, some online services have instituted policies to prevent spammers from spamming their subscribers.
Why is it Called Spam?
There is some debate about the source of the term, but the generally accepted version is that it comes from the Monty Python song, "Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam". Like the song, spam is an endless repetition of worthless text. Another school of thought maintains that it comes from the computer group lab at the University of Southern California who gave it the name because it has many of the same characteristics as the lunch meat Spam:
The term spam can also be used to describe any "unwanted" email from a company or website -- typically at some point a user would have agreed to receive the email via subscription list opt-in -- a newer term called graymail is used to describe this particular type of spam.

Hybrid sensor fabrication process: (top) SEM image of a few MWCNTs spanning across two neighboring Au fingers of the interdigitated electrode; (bottom) HRTEM image of a MWCNT uniformly coated with SnO nanocrystals.
Argonne Center for Nanoscale Materials staff in the Nanofabrication & Devices Group together with collaborative users from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have fabricated a miniaturized gas sensor using hybrid nanostructures consisting of SnO2 nanocrystals supported on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). In contrast to the high-temperature operation required for SnO2 nanocrystals alone, and to the insensitivity towards H2 and CO for CNTs alone, the hybrid sensor exhibits room-temperature sensing capability when exposed to low-concentration gases such as NO2, H2, and CO. The performance of the hybrid nanostructure sensor is attributed to the effective electron transfer between SnO2 nanocrystals and MWCNTs and to the increase in the specific surface area.
The hybrid platform as a sensing element provides an opportunity to engineer sensing devices with quantum-mechanical attributes due to the electron transfer. The nanomaterials employed are affordable, and the nanofabrication technique is simple and compatible with existing microfabrication capabilities; the latter, in turn, facilitates a scale-up process. This new sensing scheme will be instrumental for the development of new sensors based on hybrid nanostructures.

Yup, and every other embarrassing name in between.
I also remember this lady coming on here talking about how women should be housewives, and how she wasn't allowed to read "pagan" books (lol she insinuated that fantasy novels are pagan) because she was a strict catholic and God would be angry with her or something.

Ok, I've prepared a small test folder with a simple HTML page and all the Javascript that I use: test.zip
To make the problem happen: click on the checkbox "Tipo" to hide the column with the same name. Click on it again to show it again. Up to this point everything works. Now click on it again to hide it and then click on "Espandi la tabella". You can see that the checkbox is being checked again but the column remains hidden.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

National Day of Reason Meta-Packet
The National Day of Reason is not just an inversion of the National Day of Prayer; rather, it is a day for atheists and humanists to try and undo the damage that religion has done. For the imposed silence of non-Christian viewpoints, atheists seek to make themselves visible; for the inappropriate establishment of religion, humanists seek to reinforce and strengthen the wall between state and church; and for the millions of hands idled by prayer and dogma, freethinkers try to do their part in repairing the world.
Although practiced independently by groups and individuals across the country, many National Day of Reason activities are coordinated by the American Humanist Association and Washington Area Secular Humanists. The lists NDR events nationwide; if you are planning something, register it on the website!
Your Event - How Can I Make This the Best National Day of Reason Ever?
The National Day of Reason is a great time to focus on the SSA's four core areas: community, education, activism, and service. To that end, there are an almost unlimited number of things you can do:
- One of the most common and best NDR activities is hosting a blood drive, or going as a group to give blood.
- Many groups take this day to picket and protest state and local governments for separation of state and church. This can include a Humanist Advocacy Day, wherein your members can directly lobby legislators and public officials to promote science education, state/church separation, and other freethought issues.
- Urge your mayor or local council to issue a proclamation on the need for reason, critical inquiry, and the scientific method. Some groups have even been able to perform a secular invocation at their city councils.
- Host a speaker or debate on the separation of church and state, the (in)efficacy of prayer, the problem of faith-based initiatives, and other topics.
- Any sort of party, wild bash or madcap romp is acceptable. Think about having an ice cream social for freethinkers and other advocates for a secular society. (With options for vegans and the lactose-intolerant, or course).
- Conduct a letter-writing campaign to get campus members to promote secular government and freethought issues.
Whatever your plans are, be sure to register your event on the NDR website !
Past Events
Some examples of great NDR events past:
- In 2005, freethinkers in New Orleans got Mayor Ray Nagin to sign a NDR proclamation. In 2008, they did themselves one better by getting the proclamation signed by the entire city council, and performed a secular invocation before them.
- In 2006, student and off-campus freethought groups protested the National Day of Prayer ceremony held on the State House lawn. In addition to carrying signs with pro-separation quotes from people ranging from James Madison to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the peaceful group handed out literature and had civil conversations with many folks walking by the State House.

Preview: Bulls vs Lions
The Bulls know their hard work during a topsy-turvy Super Rugby season will come to nothing if they fall over the last hurdle against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on Saturday evening.
As it stands, a bonus-point win over their southern neighbours will be enough to put the Bulls into the Finals Series.
They missed out last year by virtue of defeat at the hands of the Sharks at Loftus and would like to avoid a similar scenario in 2012.
"We don't need to tell the players at this stage of the competition what is at stake," said Bulls coach Frans Ludeke, whose team has never lost to the Lions in Super Rugby.
"Everyone knows that the rewards for the hard work that we have put in can be justified with a good win. We had the play-offs as our first objective for the season, but definitely not our only one.
"We respect the Lions and are expecting them to come at us with everything they have. They have nothing to lose, so will be a very dangerous side. We need to focus on what we want to achieve, go out and execute that. The pressure will be on us to improve from last weekend.
"We will be going for the win first and foremost. We are not going to try and dictate any permutations. If you try to do that, you can lose focus on the task at hand. If we lose we are out, so the win will be the only focus for us."
In their eight clashes since 2006 – when the Cats split up into the Lions and the Cheetahs – the Bulls have won with a try-scoring bonus point four times, of which two matches were at Loftus. On both those occasions (51-11 in 2010 and 46-17 in 2006) the home team scored a total of six tries.
The Lions will be chasing only their third away win against South African opposition in Super Rugby. They've won two from 17 – in 2008 (23-22) and 2011 (25-20) against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
In fact, they've won more away games against overseas opposition (five from 31) than in South Africa.
Key Battle: Morne Steyn vs. Elton Jantjies. The present against the future as far as South African rugby is concerned.
Jantjies may be behind Pat Lambie in the pecking order a this stage with the injured Johan Goosen bound to enter the equation soon, but an influential performance on Saturday would significantly boost the young Lions pivot's stocks.
Last Meeting: Bulls 32-18 Lions (Johannesburg).
Prediction: The Lions' record against the Bulls and on the road against South African opposition paint a clear picture as to whether we'll see an upset at Loftus.
Add the fact that the Bulls are playing to stay alive in the competition and the possibility of a Lions win borders on zero. Bulls by 12 points.
Saturday 14 July: Bulls vs. Lions, Pretoria (19:10)
Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (captain), 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 Dewald Potgieter, 5 Juandre Kruger, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.
Replacements: 16 Willie Wepener, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Deon Stegmann, 19 CJ Stander, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 Francois Venter.
Lions: 15 James Kamana, 14 Lionel Mapoe, 13 Waylon Murray, 12 Butch James, 11 Anthony Volmink, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Joshua Strauss (captain), 7 Grant Hattingh, 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Ruan Botha, 4 Hendrik Roodt, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 JC Janse van Rensburg.
Replacements: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Etienne Oosthuizen, 19 Jaco Kriel, 20 Ross Cronje, 21 JR Esterhuizen, 22 Ruan Combrinck.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The state DNR is shrugging off concerns that it might not have the resources to regulate Gogebic Taconite's proposed iron ore mine in far northern Wisconsin.
The state Assembly is scheduled to vote Thursday on new state regulations that would make it easier and faster for the company to open the new mine.
Kimberlee Wright, who heads the Midwest Environmental Advocates' law firm in Madison, is worried that the DNR won't have the staff or the resources to regulate the project. She said the agency has a growing backlog of other wastewater permits that are waiting for approvals – something the agency blames on employee retirements and a lack of replacements.
Wright also says the DNR will end up spending more than a $2 million limit set by the Legislature to do a full environmental review of the project.
The DNR's Ann Coakley says her agency can always seek more money in the future for its environmental review. And she vowed that the DNR will be aggressive in regulating the project.
Coakley said mining is a priority in Wisconsin, and the DNR will do what it must to get the job done.

The fruit is harvested by hand and crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation takes place in 8 to 15 days. The different lots are racked into new and one year old French and American oak barrels, and remain separate during the 24-30 month aging period. The blend is then assembled. Bottling takes place without fining or filtration and the wine is held nine to ten months prior to release.
St. Francis achieves critical acclaim from the wine media who refers to it as The House of Big Reds. Among its many accolades, St. Francis was recently named International Red Wine Maker of The Year by the London International Wine Challenge.

While awaiting surgery on Thursday, Kelly Hutmacher discovered she could claim a bit of history after learning the staff inside the United Hospital operating room in St. Paul would be performing the second procedure with a new pacemaker device.
"It's a little nerve-wracking, but I trust him," said Hutmacher.
The new device was used for the first time on Monday, and Dr. Pierce Vatterott believes the new tool, called the GlideLight Laser Sheath, is a "game changer."
"The new laser is twice as powerful as the previous ones," Vatterott said.
That means life will be a lot easier for any patient who needs pacemaker or defibrillator leads either removed or replaced -- and it's easier for any surgeon too because it can remove the leads with less trauma.
"You can let the laser do most of the work and it slides like a soda straw over the lead," explained Vatterott.
Pulling out wires can cause complications, but the new laser means surgeons don't have to pull or push as much, which is better for all those major blood vessels going into the patient's heart.
Defibrillators and pacemakers leads are replaced because they get infected or break, but the technology helps hundreds of Americans live longer.

There is so much to learn when becoming a young adult and dealing with a chronic condition. It may seem overwhelming, and you may wonder who is going to help you, and what are the most important things you should know as you begin this journey.
Watch this video to learn some of the best advice from young adults who have been in your shoes.
If available, the option to go to medical camp in the summer helps kids and teens with chronic conditions learn independence, and helps parents realize it's safe for their children to practice more independence with the support of people outside the family. This broadens the base of support for young people and does not replace family support. Campers of all ages ask questions and share information about their medications with those who have a common experience. They learn and support one another and take these new skills back to their lives outside of camp. Older children start to consider their options after high school. Many counselors have been previous campers and bring a whole new perspective from having made the step of increased independence and self-care
Taking medicines is a big part of staying as healthy as possible for people, of all ages, with chronic conditions. If you're feeling well, it does not mean your disease is cured. You are in remission because of the medications, and when you stop taking your medicines, your symptoms can return or possibly become worse. How you feel is not the only indicator of good disease control and management.
As you transition to adult healthcare, college and employment, your care team at CHOP and Penn Medicine is here to help, and to answer any questions. Don't be afraid to ask!
Believing in yourself is important as you transition. With your help, the help of your family and your care team, you will get through the rough times. Our goal is to make you feel better and to investigate better treatments and even cures for your disease.
The nationally renowned gastroenterology team at Penn Medicine applies the same principles as CHOP in caring for pediatric and adolescent patients and their families —"What's good for the patients? What's good for their families? How can we make their experience better?" They are here to help you.

Parisians would make smog alerts pretty, wouldn't they. In a far more artistic way than a freeway-side scrolling marquee, a giant helium-filled balloon changes color to tell passers-by the ambient air quality.
Created by Aérophile, the AERO30NG Aérophile 550 model was launched in the Parc Andre Citroën in
It is as much eco-PR effort as practical alert system, which I like, and is such a clever way to alert a whole lot of people at once since it can be seen as far as 12 miles away. Farther than that, though, and you'll need to check out pollution levels on Google Earth.
What is fast viagra really neat is it actually functions as a balloon and buy viagra online pharmacy can lift as many as 30 passengers up to 150 meters above the levitra non generic canada city. So I guess if the balloon is glowing red, you can hop on to try and get above the junk into some cleaner air. No matter what the color, it'd be pretty awesome to see Paris from a balloon.

By AG from IL on 10/26/2013
Cute, Lots of Fun, Unique

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Girl's Pink Strawberry Shoes:
Agreed with the other reviewer; these do run small and the material probably won't give like regular shoes to allow for stretch. I wish the top companies that make costume/fantasy-type shoes could just get the sizing right! These are super cute but if I decide to keep them I won't be wearing them too much as they are that uncomfortable! Too bad because they're really cute :(

NW Relief Workers Return from Philippines Typhoon Disaster
By Liz Jones
As disaster relief in the Philippines shifts from crisis to rebuilding, some volunteers from the Northwest are also shifting gears.
Members of the volunteer relief group Empact Northwest return home Wednesday night, from a 10-day mission to the tornado wrecked area.
Gig Harbor resident Sil Wong was part of the ground team working on search and recovery operations.
She came home with emotional stories about people working together, and sharing in each others grief.
"Our security detail – our two guys who were with us – seasoned soldiers who have seen a lot, have done a lot, and they were in absolute tears as we were bringing the bodies of children out. They were so moved that people from the US – literally around the world – would come and help them."
Typhoon Haiyan – one of the deadliest on record - struck the Philippines two weeks ago. The death toll has climbed past 4-thousand people, and millions more are injured or homeless.
Wong says recovery efforts appear slow. A recent PEW survey also finds this typhoon has drawn less interest and donations from Americans, compared to similar disasters.
Sil Wong is scheduled to speak tonight in Seattle as part of benefit dinner for the typhoon victims. You can find details about the event online at FCSeattle.org.
