In this only surviving satyr play, the old satyr Silenus and a chorus of satyrs are the slaves of a grumpy Cyclops named Polyphemus.
Listen to Ovid for all the details on how Midas rescued Silenus and got the "golden touch" as a reward from Dionysus.
In this ancient poem, you can read about how Silenus got turned into a river after losing a dance-off. Seriously, that's the story.
In this riff on Greek mythology, Silenus turns into an alcoholic after his lover, Syrinx, turns into reeds to escape the advances of Pan.
One of the Beast Folk in this famous sci-fi novel is called Satyr, because he's got the legs and horns of a goat.
Some say the "goat footed balloonman" in this poem is either a satyr or Pan in disguise.
There's a highly sexually symbolic statue of a satyr in this gothic page-turner.
Check out this classic Disney movie if you want to see what satyrs look like when they're cute little babies.
In this classic fantasy novel, the goodhearted Mr. Tumnus is a faun, the Roman version of a satyr.
Phil, the satyr, is Hercules' wine-soaked mentor in this animated movie and the TV series that followed.
Percy Jackson's buddy, Grover Underwood, is a satyr who dreams of one day searching for the long lost god, Pan.
The satyrs have big horns, sharp claws, and bad attitudes in this bloody video game series.

The Asian and Asian-American population has grown dramatically in recent years in Georgia and Atlanta is now home to a vibrant Asian community. After increasing by 128% in the 1990s, the number of individuals of Asian descent in Georgia grew by another 81.6% since 2000 bringing the total number to 310,004 in 2010 (Census 1990, 2000, 2010). Most of this growth occurred in metropolitan Atlanta, which currently has an Asian population of 279,112.
Asian community networks in this area include organizations of Asian-Americans, ethnic chambers of commerce, consulates and cultural centers, professional networks, the media and religious congregations.
This growing Asian community is also reflected in the student body at Georgia State University. At the undergraduate level, there were 2,616 Asian American students at GSU in fall 2010, comprising 11% of the total undergraduate population. According to Diverse Issues in Higher Education, GSU is ranked 48th in the nation in bachelor's degrees granted to Asian-American students, higher than any other institution in Georgia. A high proportion of GSU's international students also come from Asian countries. According to the Office of Institutional Research, in 2010, a total of 918 of the 1,531 international students at the university (60%) were from Asia. Asian countries comprise 5 of the top 6 countries represented on campus.
The Asian Studies Center at GSU seeks to bring together students, faculty and the larger community to address opportunities provided by the emerging Asian presence in the local and global community. This section of the website includes a list of community organizations and on-going events in the greater metro Atlanta area. See the Student Organizations section of this website for more information on Asia-related student groups on campus.

Bail over hostel death
8:30am Friday 27th June 2014 in News
A 50-year-old man has been rebailed by detectives investigating the death of a man at a homeless hostel.
The dead man, also 50, was found at O'Hanlon House in Luther Street in May and it is understood his death may have been linked to a potentially contaminated batch of heroin.
The suspect was arrested after the death on suspicion of administering a poison with intent to endanger life or inflict grievous bodily harm.
He answered bail yesterday and was told to return to court on Monday, July 14.

UNDATED (WTVB) - It shouldn't come as a surprise, the connection between too much booze and the "C" word. Researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine and the School of Public Health say alcohol is a large contributor to cancer deaths. The researchers released a study that says alcohol is the cause of about 20-thousand cancer deaths annually, which accounts for three-point-five percent of all U.S. cancer deaths.
For women, the most common deadly cancer from alcohol was breast cancer, for men it was cancers of the mouth, throat and esophagus. The study showed drinking even small amounts could account for an increased cancer risk. Thirty-percent of all the cancer deaths attributed to alcohol were from those who had an average daily consumption of one and a half drinks or less.

The Engineering Technology Department offers two degree programs, leading to a Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology (BSEET) or Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology (BSMET). These are junior- and senior-year level baccalaureate degree programs; students must complete the coursework equivalent to an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in electronic or mechanical engineering technology from an accredited college, university or technical institute before beginning to complete the upper two-year courses in the program. Qualified Cleveland State University students who major in a discipline other than Engineering Technology may apply to enroll in upper-division courses.
The 2 + 2 program's primary goal is to provide the student with sufficient skills to obtain immediate employment after completion of the associate degree, while providing a path for furthering education and career opportunities with the completion of the bachelor of science degree.
Engineering Technology students are limited to two grades of D in their major courses to be eligible for graduation.
Students in Engineering Technology may select an option in Robotics requiring them to choose technical elective courses from the list of courses that focuses on that area.
A Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology graduate is qualified to work in positions requiring the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities.
Cleveland State's Engineering Technology graduates are employed in a diverse range of industries. Most importantly, the programs prepare graduates to contribute immediately in these industries.
Objectives and goals of the Electronics Engineering Technology program:

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"There was not an option for me to change the date for them to be returned to me. It's usually two weeks prior, now some may not reply due to the date. It may have been my mistake if so I apologize. Other than that in happy."
"We changed up the format if the cards a bit and it worked out really well. We left the RSVP date blank so we could write our own in for our A and B lists. We also are having a buffet so we turned the entree options into line for song requests. We'll give our DJ a list of our guests' favorite songs, and I'm so glad these cards gave us the freedom to do that."
"This little card may be my favorite piece in the suite. I had chosen "Gilded" to be the font color. This is the inverse of the rest of the suite. I love everything about it!"
"Great product; I changed some fonts, and moved some things around on the card; the WeddingPaperDivas reviewer moved them into perfect position, and they look great."
"I loved my RSVP cards. It was simple, but lovely. I ordered it in pearl white shimmer for some elegance, which I definitely recommend. They did a great job tailoring this to my needs with no error. I asked the entree selections portion to be taken out and it was done beautifully. I will certainly be using this site again for my thank you cards and other events!"

For the love of nature
A lifelong learner, Peneston took part in a seven-week National Science Foundation Polar Trek to Antarctica for hands-on research in 2008. He made the most of his experience, sharing his voyage via a series of webcasts and lessons that enabled his students to follow his activities and learn through this unique opportunity.
Peneston's community involvement and activities include serving as longtime summer program director and natural history educator director for Camp Talooli in Pennellville. At a time when technology has enabled people to communicate instantly and constantly, Peneston points out that studies show the current generation of children has less contact with and understanding of the natural world than any generation in the history of the species. To combat this, he urges teachers to "take kids outside into nature. Give them reason to play, experiment and explore." (Photo: El-Wise Noisette)

text: content October 2, 2009 Tea catechins promote weight loss in overweight individuals An article appearing online on August 13, 2009 in advance of publication in the journal Obesity reported the findings of Chinese researchers of improvements in weight and body composition in men and women who consumed green tea that contained high amounts of catechins. Catechins are flavonoids which naturally occur in tea that have strong antioxidant properties. An average cup of green tea provides 50 to 100 milligrams catechins. Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai, China divided 182 moderately overweight Chinese men and women between the ages of 18 and 55 to receive one of four 90 day regimens: two daily servings of a control drink providing 30 milligrams catechins and 10 mg caffeine per day, one serving of the control drink and one serving of a high-catechin green tea providing 458 milligrams catechins and 104 milligrams caffeine per day, two servings of a high-catechin green tea providing 468 milligrams catechins and 126 mg caffeine per day, or two servings of an extra high-catechin green tea providing 886 milligrams catechins and 198 milligrams caffeine per day. By the end of the study, total body fat and body fat percentage were lower in the group that received the highest amount of catechins compared to control group. In the highest catechin group, intra-abdominal fat area was an average of 5.6 square centimeters lower, waist circumference averaged 1.9 centimeters less, and weight was 1.9 kilograms lower than those who received the control beverage. "In this latest research, green tea providing significant catechin levels helped promote weight loss and positively affected body shape," lead researcher Dr Niels Boon concluded. "Using state-of-the-art measurement techniques, we analyzed the effect of the green tea consumption on body fatness and the distribution of fat across the body. We observed significant decreases in body weight and fat mass. These effects were more pronounced in the group consuming the highest amount of catechins and the results also suggest that the effects were particularly strong on fat located in the abdominal region. In addition, they did not consume any other beverages containing catechins or caffeine during the intervention period - so we can be confident that the effects seen are a consequence of the green tea intervention." Obesity Life Extension believes that, in addition to a sensible, balanced diet and exercise, the only way to successfully lose weight is to address the underlying hormonal imbalances that promote weight gain. Ideally, by using bioidentical hormone replacement, dieters can restore their hormonal profile to what it was at the age of 25, an age at which weight gain is less often a problem. In addition, numerous dietary nutrients have been shown to encourage weight loss. Green tea and green tea extract have shown an ability to increase metabolic rate. A study in mice found that the primary polyphenol found in green tea (epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG) decreased diet-induced obesity by decreasing energy absorption and increasing fat burning (Klaus et al 2005). Another study in mice evaluated the effects of caffeine, polyphenols, and L-theanine, the three major components of green tea. Additive benefits were found from green tea polyphenols, caffeine, and theanine on fat accumulation (Zheng et al 2004). Furthermore, another study showed that feeding 4 percent green tea powder to mice resulted in weight loss as well as lower concentrations of total cholesterol in the liver, triglycerides in serum and liver, and fatty acids in serum (Sayama et al 2000). A well-known study examined whether or not green tea extract, rich in caffeine and polyphenols, could increase 24-hour energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. On separate occasions, subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: green tea extract and caffeine (90 mg EGCG and 50 mg caffeine), caffeine (50 mg), and placebo, which were ingested at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The results showed that treatment with the green tea extract (which included caffeine) resulted in a significant increase in metabolic rate, as evidenced by a significant increase in 24-hour energy expenditure (Dulloo et al 1999). An open-label trial demonstrated that after three months, green tea extract decreased body weight by 4.6 percent and waist circumference by 4.48 percent (Chantre et al 2002).

GlycoCarn®, a patented form of propionyl-L-carnitine, improves endothelial function by facilitating the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria where they are burned as energy. It also augments endothelial nitric oxide synthesis, enhancing blood flow to active tissues (e.g., skeletal muscle and heart). Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a key component of the cellular energy cycle. ATP acts on microvascular endothelial cells to produce a vasodilation (widening of the arteries). PEAK ATP® has been tested in human and animal studies. It is readily absorbed and boosts circulating ATP levels. Pomegranate Extract with CocoaGold™ In ancient Greek mythology, the pomegranate represents life and regeneration. Its use as an herb dates back more than 3,000 years. But contemporary science has rediscovered the pomegranate's surprising array of health benefits. Numerous studies show that pomegranate is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants and it helps regulate LDL oxidation. The remarkable effect of pomegranate in dealing with various problems makes one wonder whether there is more benefit to this fruit than just free radical suppression. One answer may lie in the fact that pomegranate is absorbed in the bloodstream far more efficiently than other fruit extracts. One study showed a pomegranate extract is 95% absorbed, which is far greater than any other polyphenol-containing fruit extract of its kind. Another reason pomegranate has displayed such incredible clinical findings is that it contains a unique polyphenol group called punicalagins. Punicalagins are the major players behind the pomegranate's antioxidant capability.

Disability Services
Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences is committed to providing educational opportunities for qualified students with documented disabilities through the provision of reasonable accommodations, in compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504). Trinity College seeks to accommodate students with disabilities on an individual basis. Individual students are given reasonable and necessary accommodations based upon specific information and assessment data documented by a qualified professional. Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences requires a copy of an evaluation by a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist or physician. This document must be sufficient to establish the presence of a disability. The documentation submitted must be less than three years old. The Director of Student Services and External Relations provides information on the availability and location of services, activities, and facilities that are accessible to and used by persons with disabilities.
While the College strives to accommodate students as fully as possible, reasonable adjustments or accommodations do not include measures that fundamentally alter the academic programs of the College or that place an undue financial burden on the College.
Trinity College strives to determine the accommodations needed before the self-identifying student with disability matriculates. Additionally, the College makes every effort to have accommodations in place when the student begins his/her course of study. The actual provision of reasonable adjustment and accommodations by the College are viewed as a shared responsibility between the College and the self-identifying student. The Director of Student Services and External Relations relates to students as reasonable adults with the independent right to make educational decisions. No accommodations will be provided without appropriate documentation. In addition, Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences is unable to provide accommodations in the classroom if the student does not give permission to notify faculty that accommodations are needed. Information regarding a student's disability is considered confidential. Information will not be released to anyone without the express written permission of the student. Notification to faculty or other relevant college personnel can be accomplished without disclosing the exact nature of the disability. Disclosure of a disability is voluntary and does not adversely impact admission decisions. The student must reapply for this accommodation with each new course and term. The student should submit the request and verification as soon as it is realized that an accommodation may be necessary. The Director of Student Services and External Relations is the Disabilities Coordinator.
Accessibility Services Office Student Intake Form
is provided for you to fill out and return to the office of Student Services.
Documentation of Disabilities
All verification must provide data which supports the student's request for any academic adjustment. In the event that a student requests an accommodation that is not supported by the data in the assessment, or if the initial verification is incomplete or inadequate to determine the extent of the disability, then the student will be asked to obtain supplemental testing or assessment at the student's expense.
Physical Disabilities
– A student with a physical disability must provide professional verification of a disability. The verification must reflect the student's present level of functioning and activities affected by the disability. The student must provide the documentation to the Director of Student Services & External Relations. The student shall incur the cost of obtaining the professional verification.
Mental/Emotional Disabilities
– A student with a mental/emotional disability must provide professional verification prepared by an individual who is qualified in the diagnosis of mental/emotional disabilities. The verification must reflect the student's present level of functioning. The student shall provide the verification to the Director of Student Services & External Relations. The student will incur the cost of obtaining the verification.
Learning Disabilities
– A student with a learning disability must provide an evaluation from a professional testing service which must include, but is not limited to, the individual's present level of cognitive function, academic achievement and information processing. The student shall provide the verification of the learning disability to the Director of Student Services & External Relations. The student will incur the cost of obtaining the verification.
Inquiries Regarding Laws that Protect Persons with Disabilities
Inquiries regarding federal laws and regulations concerning the College's compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act
of 1990 may be directed to the Office for Civil Rights.
The Director of Student Services & External Relations reviews all documents submitted to verify a disability and conducts a personal interview to explore the needs of the student in the academic setting. The student will then complete a Request for Accommodations form. After review of all documents submitted, the Director of Student Services will design a schedule of accommodations appropriate for the student. Reasonable accommodations are designed to provide equal opportunity to students with disabilities in the following areas:
Academic Program
- Adjustments in this area include those necessary to enable a student to study for, attend and participate in didactic and clinical including modification of the curriculum. For example, specialized stethoscopes may be used. However, modifications do not include measures which fundamentally alter the academic program.
- Examination accommodations will be made as necessary to minimize the effect of a particular disability on a student's performance.
Auxiliary Aids
- To the extent feasible, Trinity College of Nursing & Health Sciences shall provide or assist students with disabilities in accessing educational auxiliary aids designed to enable them to participate fully in the academic program (i.e. amplified stethoscope).
The Director of Student Services & External Relations shall maintain locked confidential records detailing accommodations provided for a disability. These records will be maintained until the student withdraws or graduates and/or passes a licensure examination, at which time the records shall be shredded.

The art of bringing people together, face-to-face or remotely, to elicit requirements and gain consensus on solutions is a critical success factor for all business analysis professionals. This course teaches facilitation techniques that can be used for structured sessions or "facilitation-on-the-fly" and goes beyond traditional facilitation training by focusing on facilitation techniques specific to gathering business and functional requirements.
This class is limited to 8 students, allowing each student the opportunity to practice facilitating multiple requirements sessions in a "safe" environment with personalized feedback. Students will spend 60% of class time participating in interactive, real-world business case studies and performing each key role in at least one session.
The workshops in this course require students to plan the requirements workshop, develop the correct questions to ask the group, and facilitate the group to a consensus on the requirements using one of the learned techniques.

Planned solar projects in the U.S. seemed to be one-upping each other throughout 2008, ending with the enormous planned 500 MW facility in San Luis Obispo CA. But now the Chinese are in on the webstuff.nl game and, surprise, they're even bigger...planning a solar project twice as large as any currently planned, with a capacity of a full gigawatt.
The project is planned for the Qaidam Basin, a large, sunny desert and The China Technology Development Corporation just signed a deal with local officials to start working on the project.
The project will use only photovoltaic cells (no solar thermal) though it looks like some of the solar cells will be silicon, and others will be thin film. Unfortunately, there's no word on generic cialis soft online who'll be supplying the panels, but we assume it will be one of the several Chinese companies currently producing solar panels. We also assume that they're using both thin-film and crystalline cells because there would be no other way to get that many solar panels together.
The first phase of the project will bring 30 megawatts of it's cool use viagra solar power to China, costing roughly $150M and beginning construction in 2009. Whether or not the next phases will be completed, we imagine, depend on the success of this first installation.
This is, of course, fantastic news. Compared to the scale of other solar projects, this is truly massive. Unfortunately, compared to the scale of fossil fuel projects in China, it's minuscule. China reportedly added around 90 gigawatts of coal-fired power in 2006 alone.
This, my friends....is a small step on a very long road.

I think you mean megawatts. If 30GW only cost $150M, everyone would be using it right now as it would be cheaper than Coal.

Most environmental problems tend to rx generic viagra stem from our nature of excess... and this is what this project sounds like.
What are the efficiencies arising from concentrating a massive volume of PV cells in one place? Will these efficiencies outweigh the cost of destroying a massive expanse of levitra cheap desert eco-system and potentially altering the micro-climate of the area? Why not capitalise on one of the major advantages of PV being distributed generation? What about the environmental costs of producing these PV cells? What about the impact on global silicon prices?

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cypriot lawmakers on Tuesday rejected a critical draft bill that would have seized part of people's bank deposits in order to qualify for a vital international bailout, with not a single vote in favor.
The rejection leaves Cyprus's bailout in question. Without external funds, the country's banks face collapse and the government could go bankrupt. Nicosia will now have to come up with an alternative plan to raise the money: the government could try to offer a compromise bill that would be more palatable to lawmakers.

The academic of the 21st century is arriving and setting up camp. Their understanding of analytics, cultural and social consumption both in the meat and jacked in has a fluidity that supersedes what was previously thought of as crude to the progression of western European academic narrative…
A new narrative has begun. Academia has consumed itself to a point of becoming a co-modification no longer holding the traditional intrinsic capitalistic value once used as a lure.
Academia has been forced to become more. More then a place to exchanged knowledge. More then a place for research. More then a need for institutional affirmation.
Academics of the 21st century currently come from a training of the 20th but with an outlook that sees beyond the book, linearity, the need for closure.
The capture of our narratives are intrinsically being replicated and distributed throughout the Network.
What is so exciting about the 21st Academic is a new journey to redefine education, learning, community and participatory spaces.
Whether it is learning to hug again, love again, program embedded devices, work in the clouds, embed yourself in a culture, society, an augmented reality has commenced to a point of reality.
These types of cybernetic work represent a transgression from the meat to being jacked in that has served as a model for the understanding of the new Academic.
Are you a new Academic? Do you see a new Academia evolving in the 21st Century?

Combining their responsibility to the community and their desire to be environmentally conscious, they have a program to reduce (or better yet, re-use) what they would normally dispose of...

PC Police, An Expensive Stock Tip, Vuvuzelas And A Good Question
June 25, 2010 by Chip Wood
*The PC police strike again. David Morales, a Rhode Island second-grader, wanted to honor American troops at a special class event. So he took a camouflage baseball cap, put an emblem of the American flag on the front and then glued several plastic soldiers from his collection around the cap. Sounds creative and patriotic, right? Not according to school officials in Providence, R.I., who declared that, because the tiny plastic figures were holding rifles, the cap violated the school's zero-tolerance policy banning weapons. Off it came until David could take it home. Gee, do you think that's why they're called the armed forces?
*Could a stock tip be worth that much? For the past 11 years Warren Buffett has allowed the Glide Foundation, one of his wife's favorite charities, to auction off a luncheon date. And every year, the cost of that lunch has gone up. This time, the winner will pay $2.6 million to take seven guests to lunch with the Bard of Omaha. I know the steaks at Smith and Wollensky in New York City are good. But $260,000 each?
*Yes, there's an app for that. I haven't been watching much of the World Cup this year. First, soccer is not one of my favorite spectator sports (unless a grandchild is playing). But second, the noise from all those plastic vuvuzelas is enough to drive me crazy. If you can't afford to buy one, turns out you can get a free app for your iPhone. The folks behind Vuvuzela 2010 say more than a million people have downloaded the app so far. Hope none share an office or car pool with you.
*Question of the week. I saw this on a bumper sticker a few days ago: "If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?" (Think about it for a minute.)

Outside, an unseasonable warm spell has pushed the temperature to 65 degrees, and lovers walk hand-in-hand up Bosley Avenue. But nobody cares about the weather in here. In here, 10 guys are going at it in a game of full-court basketball, which would be unremarkable except for the fact they're all old enough to be somebody's grandfather.
"When I was growing up," says one of them, Paul McGillicuddy, 70, "people in their 60s and 70s were in rocking chairs. It was inconceivable that we'd be athletically elite."
"This," says another, Walter Wintsch, "is two hours of therapy with no fee."
Wintsch, at 76, is the oldest guy here. This is how old he is: Growing up in upstate New York, he says, "I remember playing with a peach basket nailed to the garage door."
Whoa, you think, who was the president back then, Lincoln?!
But then Wintsch tells you he was a medical corpsman in a landing craft plying the waters off Omaha Beach during the allied invasion of Normandy, shuttling the American dead and wounded, as well as German prisoners, back to the ships offshore.
Between games, he shows you a copy of his ship's deck log. There it is at the top: Tuesday, June 6, 1944. One notation begins: "Received from officer in charge the remains and effects of the following men ..."
One is listed as Doherty - gunshot wound to the head. Another, Fiore - gunshot wound to the chest. Yeah, Walt Wintsch has seen a lot of things many of us hope we never see.
But that was a long time ago. Now he's here playing ball with a dozen other guys who love the game and can't give it up, guys like Tom Murtaugh, 65, who started these pick-up games 18 months ago; Bucky Kimmett, 72, who played four years at Towson State and is in the school's Hall of Fame; Frank Lastner, 70, who also played at Towson State after three years of varsity ball at Loyola High; Arky Vaughan, 72, who starred for Towson Catholic way back when.
Watch them for a while and you see this is the basketball of two-handed set shots, hook shots, running one-handers. This is basketball from another era, the game set in amber.
This is hoops before the between-the-legs dribbling and the monster dunks of today's game - even before the jump shot, really.
Hey, these guys actually pass to each other! They cut through the lane! They look for the open man! In the first of seven games to 10, Frank Lastner hits Bucky Kimmett with a sweet touch pass underneath and the rest of the guys nod and clap in appreciation.
These guys play hard, too. Not long ago, one of them slammed into the wall under one basket and had to be taken to the emergency room to get stitched up.
Did this have a sobering effect on the games?
Did they all stop and look at each other and say: "Gee, maybe we oughta take it easy after what happened to ol' what's-his-name?"
Yeah, right.
What they did do was hang pads from the wall under the basket, so that the next guy who went slamming into it would at least not bleed all over the court.

TORONTO -- The lawyer for a Canadian man who spent 10 years at the U.S. military prison at Guantánamo says his client has been transferred from a prison in Ontario to one in Western Canada after another inmate threatened his life.
Omar Khadr, 26, was repatriated to Canada in September to serve out the remaining six years of his sentence. The son of an alleged al-Qaida financier, Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to hurling a grenade that killed a U.S. soldier during a firefight in Afghanistan. He was 15 at the time.
Until his repatriation, the Toronto-born Khadr was the youngest captive at the U.S. prison camps in Cuba, and the last Westerner.
Attorney Dennis Edney says Khadr was serving meals at Ontario's Millhaven prison when an inmate threatened to stab him after he refused him more butter than he was entitled to.
Edney, based in Alberta, said Khadr was transferred on Tuesday.

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) - Wausau West High School was locked down for a short time Friday beginning around 11:30 a.m. Wausau Schools Director of Pupil Services Jeff Lindell says, "We had a credible threat against one of our students by an individual that's not one of our students in the district and the threat was significant enough that we felt it was important enough to do a "soft lockdown" of our building here at West and make sure that in the event a situation could come into our building, we were prepared and ready to react."
He explained the "soft lockdown" is where movement is allowed within the building and classes go on as usual even though the entrances are secured.
Lindell says the student who felt threatened did the right thing. "The threat came to our attention via the student. The student that received the threat, that person felt comfortable enough to come to an adult in the building and say something is wrong with this and I need your assistance."
Wausau Deputy Police Chief Bryan Hilts says they apprehended 18-year-old Marcos Garza in the 600 block of Jefferson Street without incident. Hilts says Garza was armed with a 40 caliber handgun. Garza is now at the Marathon County Jail where investigators are interviewing him.
Lindell says the threatening person is a male and the potential victim is female.
The threats were sent as text messages to the student's cellphone. Nearby Newman Catholic High School and St. Anne's Elementary School were also under lockdown while the situation was investigated.

Along with the transfer of resources and technology from the industrialized North to the developing South, the farm protectionism against imports practiced by the European Union and the United States - must be lifted, says Brazil's Environment minister.
RIO DE JANEIRO - The question of how to finance economic development with a human face and in harmony with the environment is being asked by government officials, specialists and activists in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly as it will be a focus of the World Summit on Sustainable Development next year.
Ministers, delegates from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and experts from the region met in Rio de Janeiro Oct 21-24 for a series of discussions as part of the preparatory process for the summit to be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2002, widely known as ''Rio + 10''.
Brazil's Environment minister, José Sarney Filho, told Tierramérica that his country is expecting ''compliance with the economic instruments agreed during the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.'' Progress on the commitments governments made at that meeting will be evaluated in South Africa next year.
Sarney stated that, along with the transference of resources and technology from the industrialized North to the developing South, which holds most of the world's environmental wealth, the lifting of the farm protectionist measures imposed by the European Union and United States against farm imports from poor countries must be considered as a means toward sustainable development.
The Brazilian stance, which pulls a great deal of weight in the Latin American strategy, was adopted for the final document of the 13th Forum of Environment Ministers of the region, a crucial conference within the preparatory process for the Rio + 10 Summit.
Also proposed at the forum was the need to ''review the current mechanisms for converting the foreign debt of developing countries into environmental projects.''
''The matter was discussed in general terms - reassessing the relationship between external debt and sustainable development - but the ministers did not establish detailed mechanisms for implementation,'' Ricardo Sánchez, director for Latin America and the Caribbean for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), told Tierramérica.
Exchanging debt for environmental protection efforts is just one of the potential answers to how to finance a model that harmoniously links economic growth with human development and the environment.
Latin American and Caribbean delegates at last week's meetings stressed the need for wealthier countries - which carry greatest responsibility for environmental problems, particularly global warming - should contribute by providing financing and technology, as was agreed at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio.
Alicia Bárcena, of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), commented that ''sustainability has not captured the attention of the international economic agenda'' and that none of the commitments made on the matter have been met.
For example, the countries of the North agreed they would each designate 0.7 percent of their gross domestic product (GDP), within the framework of ''shared responsibility'', to benefit sustainable development, but the promise remained on paper. According to Bárcena, ''we need new and additional resources for sustainable development.''
An ECLAC study indicates that the implementation of ''Agenda 21'', approved in 1992, requires 625 billion dollars, of which a fifth is to come from international capital flows, and the rest from each of the national governments for their own sustainable development efforts.
Apart from Agenda 21, a global action plan aimed at integrating the environment and development into the world economy in the new century, the Earth Summit adopted three international instruments: the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention to Combat Desertification.
These treaties require the execution of concrete plans, which in turn requires financial resources.
René Castro, a former environment minister of Costa Rica, told Tierramérica that ''the two or three areas in which there is broad-based agreement'' could serve as the letter of presentation for Latin America and the Caribbean at the Johannesburg summit in 2002.
''One is the external debt and its rechanneling toward responsible investment from the social and environmental point of view,'' said Castro. A second area of consensus involves using modern financial approaches (guarantees, incentives, etc.) to direct investment toward environment-friendly sectors of the economy, such as renewable energy.
A third point of agreement is the need to consolidate the relationship between the environment and the economy, instead of always including it as a secondary concern of international agreements, said Castro, who currently serves as an official of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
Sara Larraín, of the NGO 'Chile Sustentable' (Sustainable Chile), commented that financing sustainable development requires reorienting the policies of multilateral banks, like the World Bank and Inter-American Development Bank, ''towards the objectives of eradicating poverty and protecting the environment.''
The NGOs gathered in Rio de Janeiro last week suggested imposing a tax on speculative financial transactions, controlling the flow of international capital, and renegotiating the external debt of poor countries.
ECLAC officials agreed that it is essential to confront the debt problem, given its burden on the region's finances.
The foreign debt of Latin America and the Caribbean grew in the 1990s from 500 billion to 800 billion dollars, while development aid to the region dropped from 138 billion dollars in 1991 to 100 billion in 1998.

A judge Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit that claimed athletes at a northwest suburban school were sexually assaulted under the guise of hazing, according to the local school district.
A statement by Maine Township School District 207 said Circuit Court Judge Daniel Gillespie dismissed the suit brought on by four young men who claimed they were assaulted and hazed while athletes at Maine West High, the Sun-Times is reporting.
The defendants, which include the school district, principal and two former coaches, had sought to have the suit dismissed, according to the school district. Tuesday's ruling "focused on the plaintiffs' failure to allege facts sufficient to permit the lawsuit to go forward," the school district's statement said.
Ken Wallace, district superintendent, said, "We are pleased with the ruling, especially in light of what the district regards as the exaggerated claims asserted by plaintiff's attorney in the media."
Mike Kujawa, former coach Michael Divincenzo's attorney, called the judge's ruling a "small victory," but also said the case will continue.
Tony Romanucci, the lawyer who filed the suit on behalf of four unnamed John Does, agreed the case won't end here. He said the judge took issue with the allegations related to Maine West Principal Audrey Haugan and the Maine Township school board — not the former coaches.
Romanucci and his clients can file an amended lawsuit.
The suit that was dismissed was filed last November. Another alleged victim, the fifth, came forward in August 2013 and claimed in a separate suit that he was sexually assaulted Sept. 26, 2012, at the school in Des Plaines after coaches ordered the team to do a "campus run."
The school district said the second suit wasn't up in court Tuesday, but it's expected to "be consolidated with the first lawsuit if an amended complaint is filed."
The district will continue to fight that August suit or any amended suit, it said.

First lady Michelle Obama will take a two-day tour to Chicago, Mississippi and Missouri to promote Let's Move!, her initiative to end childhood obesity. The first lady will also announce a partnership with the Department of Education to promote physical education in schools, according to the schedule announced by the White House today.
The first lady will kick off her tour with several TV appearances, beginning with "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on Friday. She and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan will also plug their school initiative on "The Dr. Oz Show," which will air on Feb. 28, the day she and Secretary Duncan make their announcement in Chicago.
First stop on the tour will be Clinton, Miss., on Feb. 27, where Obama and celebrity cook Rachael Ray will promote the healthier school lunches she has pushed over the last several years. The lunch rules the first lady helped implement last year, intended to reduce obesity and get kids to eat more fruits and vegetables, didn't go over well with students. Some boycotted their schools' lunches and posted videos online about how hungry they were.
In Chicago on Feb. 28, Obama and Secretary Duncan will make their "major announcement" about bringing physical education back to schools, joined by a star-studded crowd — including Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas, whom the first lady scolded for eating a McDonald's sandwich after winning her gold medal.
Also in the crowd will be Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes, Olympic runner Allyson Felix, and tennis legend Serena Williams. There will even be a surprise musician to celebrate the announcement.
Her final stop will be Springfield, Mo., later that afternoon, where the first lady will promote Walmart's efforts to offer healthier food as part of a Let's Move! initiative.
After the tour, Obama will hold her own Google+ "fireside hangout" on March 4, hosted by Kelly Ripa. On March 6, she will answer questions about Let's Move! on Twitter.

Well it is certainly that time of year again.
Okay it isn't… yet.
But that does not stop the battle of the Christmas music stations.
Every year Q101.9 and Magic 105.3 duke it out as they both play very similar playlist of nothing but Christmas music.
And which of these two do people perfer more?
If you ask any employee of either of these stations they will say the two sound very different. However if you ask any given listener about these stations they will say the exact opposite and say they sound exactly the same.
In my own personal opinion I would rather go with Q101.9
Why you ask? Well I am a fan of Sunday Morning Jazz With David Munoz. During which the stations both turn all Christmas music, each Sunday David has exceptional jazz xmas music. I have a very fond memory of driving to visit my parents every Sunday morning listening to David play the jazz xmas music while my children sit in the back seat. Its almost turned into a tradition.
David Munoz: http://q1019.com/pages/davidmunoz.html
But that is just me and my situation. There are plenty of other folks out there who have their own opinion on which station is the better of the two xmas stations. I literally went out there to ask a few people of San Antonio.
Julie Macintosh of Northern Hills says "Oh I just love the Christmas music. I don't care which station whomever puts on. This is the type of thing that helps just about everyone get into that Christmas mood."
Melvin Harper of Encino Bluff says "My wife keeps it on Magic daily so I really don't get a chance to listen to Q. Overall I like it. It brings me back to the days of my childhood."
Anthony Johnson of Stone Oak says "I hear it every year on Q since we listen to it at work and everyone seems to just love it."
Brenda Garcia of Briarwick says "We also play it at work and it never fails. At first everyone seems to love it. But when you hear it for 8 plus hours a day everyday eventually you want to shoot the radio."
Jessica Willingham of Northwood says "To be honest I flip between the two. When one is playing something I do not care for I switch to the other."
I have a lot more quote than these but pretty much people didn't lean towards either station. I will say however that Q101.9 has a leg up on Magic.
Q's Christmas music will most likely begin this weekend. (speculation)
After calling Cox Radio the receptionist told me she did not know when Magic was going to begin playing xmas music and that they did not have that schedule out yet. In their defense I am almost positive the management has some idea when they will be putting it on, that or the receptionist isn't either aware or not able to speak of the date and time.
All I know…
Oh and one more thing… if any of you wanna get me a gift I really really really want a pen mic.

The new Miss America says she's delighted the pageant embraces diversity. Sunday night, Nina Davuluri became the first contestant of Indian heritage and the second consecutive contestant from New York to win the Miss America pageant.
The 24-yr.-old won the title as the nationally televised pageant returned home to Atlantic City. Davuluri performed a classical Bollywood fusion dance for her talent competition. The Syracuse native who wants to become a doctor said she's glad children watching the pageant can "finally relate to a new miss America."
