"I do not think there is a woman in whom the roots of passion shoot deeper than in me." – Edna St. Vincent Millay
My name is Britanie Faith and I am Natural Beauty Advocate, Makeup artist, Photographer, Herbalist and Health and Wellness Enthusiast.
I have suffered from chronic pain and chronic, often debilitating illnesses due to Endometriosis, Fibromyalgia, CFS, Meniere's Disease and numerous Digestive Issues. Having these conditions has increased my passion for helping others to deal with their own personal health issues in a positive way. I am constantly researching to find natural ways to heal myself and others through herbs, aromatherapy, acupuncture, holistic medicine, chinese medicine, yoga, pilates, diet, exercise and meditation.
I am very passionate about spreading the importance of beauty from the inside, out. I believe in applying and ingesting the least amount of chemicals possible which has led me on a path of researching and reviewing many green, organic and non toxic makeup, skincare and health products as possible. I am somewhat of a natural product junkie. I also love to support small businesses and handmade jewelry, accessories and eco friendly clothing brands. I love jewelry, fashion, vintage-finds, cooking, creating concoctions, reading, yoga, meditation, animals and the little things in life.
I have gained a great deal of knowledge through my dedication to learn as much as possible about chronic health conditions and it was through that researching process that I became interested in not only what I was putting in my body but what I was putting on my body as well.
I am very much committed to sharing my experiences, likes and dislikes in regards to everything from day to day life, health, beauty, and where I get my inspiration and positive outlook on life from beauty of all kinds. I try to see every day as an opportunity to radiate happiness and love into the world and onto others.
Because I endeavor each day to live a clean and positive lifestyle, in 2008, I completed Natalia Rose's Intensive Teacher Training Program in NYC. Natalia also asked me to be her Intern and help her with different projects involving her book, "Detox 4 Women", that was published in 2009, which I gratefully accepted.
I have seen the way a detoxed way of life is transformational and I continue to work at making my life as beautiful and healthy as possible.
To learn more about me or to get in touch with me please visit my Contact, FAQ & Disclosure, and Press pages to learn more!
Aside from running Beauty By Britanie, I am also a regular contributer at Organic Beauty Talk and Lucky Magazine. To see other contributes, interviews & press related content please go here.
Love is the axis and breath of my life.
I love. I love. I love.

The Casbah is hosting the Steelwells, another residency act, which means it's a free show -- it's really a no-brainer to attend. The Orange County band have swung through town so many times that they're kind of an honorary locals. The residency kicked off last Monday with an impressive turnout, so you can expect will be just as fun, with Nena Anderson & the Mules, Ed Ghost Tucker and Luke Williams Band lending support. There aren't a ton of options on Monday, but the few we have should definitely get you out.

A duck covered with oil. A diner owner who moonlights as a magician. A teenage girl with a terrible addiction. Fans of Saved by the Bell, NBC's seminal teen sitcom from the early '90s, will immediately identify these characters as Becky, Max, and Jessie Spano. They'll also be happy to learn that there's finally a fitting tribute to the TV show that they probably remember better than their own high school years. Yes, Bayside! The Musical!, is the new giant-cell phone on the block of New York's theater scene. With songs with names like "The Only Students of Bayside High," "Screech's Secret Sauce," and "Too Poor For Prom," it's clear that the writers of the show are true fans themselves. Check out this trailer, a spot-on parody of the classic "Johnny Dakota" episode. (C'mon, don't act like you don't remember.)

You come to the mountains to get away from your hectic life, so why stay in a busy town?
At Birch Bend MotoLodge you will experience what the mountains really have to offer: peace and quiet, beautiful views, woods, grassy vistas and wildlife.The rooms are cozy but spacious. Nice, comfy linens and knotty pine on the walls really make you feel at home. Our lodge is quaint with areas to sit and read or use the free Wi-Fi, listen to music and play games. There is a picnic area with a fire pit and horseshoes with plenty of room to play or just relax.
We are a short five-mile drive outside of Gorham, NH, so you're close to all the amenities you can think of in a quaint New England town. The village of Shelburne and the Androscoggin River are within walking distance. We are nearby all the area attractions like the Appalachian Trail, Mt. Washington Auto Road, Great Glen Trails, Wildcat Mountain, Pinkham Notch, Jericho Mountain State Park and ATV Park, Evans Notch, North Conway, NH and Bethel, ME - just to name a few! We are surrounded by the best roads for sight seeing and are rider-owned and very rider-friendly!
Birch Bend is a unique experience in lodging. We are not at all a typical motel and don't care for the typical motel things. You will enjoy more of a B&B feel where the owners are the only employees and we pay special attention to your needs and expectations.
Fishing? Oh yeah!
There are plenty of local options for trout and bass. This little beauty was caught on the Androscoggin just off of Hogan Road.
Summer is finally here!
Planning a family reunion or club outing?
Maybe you'll be coming up for one of the many area events. A lot of our guests just like to ride the twisties by day and hang out at the fire pit by night. Boating is always an option, we can toss you in the kayaks or canoe and send you down river or you can take them for the day to any lake you wish!

this set of manual instructions was the most helpful i found. to add on though, the program presented itself as tlf.exe on my computer. i deleted all the registry values listed here and when i ran malwarebytes it came up with 4 more. this was all i had to do:
kill process: tlf.exe
delete file: [user]local settingsapplication datatlf.exe
delete registry values included up there and these 4:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSecurity CenterAntivirusDisableNotify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSecurity CenterFirewallDisableNotify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSecurity CenterUpdatesDisableNotify
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExplorerAdvancedFolderHiddenShowallCheckedValue = (Hijack.system.hidden)
and then run a scan.
Worked great for me. Infected file was gqk.exe
Thanks for the writeup, it hepled me nail this one down. As a side note, the malware was named "odt.exe" on my system.
Hi All,
I too had this issue to deal with last week – very frustrating having my system (Windows XP) hijacked and ransomed at $59.95. I absolutely refused to pay it! After hitting the web and seeing that it was a serious issue, I look for a solution. Although I am tech savvy, I found the solutions to be too intense for me, in fact, I almost considered taking it to my computer guy. Well, I used some common sense (no offense IT guys) and I was able to fix my problem.
I remind you that I do have a comfort level in deleting and installing stuff so please only do this if you know what you are doing.
I did start with the Task Manager and closing all the .exe that started with 3 letters as the forums stated. I had 3 or 4. That did not work and I did not know which was the culprit.
I got tired of closing the windows when they popped up so I minimized them. At that point I realized that the flashing window displayed OAP, which was one of the processes I had disabled. BECAUSE I STILL HAD THE TASK MANAGER WINDOW OPEN I NOTICED THAT THIS OAP PROCESS KEPT POPPING BACK UP SO I KNEW THIS WAS THE CULPRIT.
I did a search on my C drive for the oap.exe file and located it. There was another OAP file that I also deleted (there were only 2).
However, I could not delete the files because they were being used (SAID ACCESS DENIED, FILE IN USE or something like that). It then occurred to me that I had a timeframe of about 5-7 seconds to close the OAP process and then jump back to the file location and delete them. And that my friend did the job.
I did have a problem opening .EXE files so I repaired my registry with the WINXP_EXE_FIX.REG but I have no idea where I got it so you will have to do a search on how to fix this should it be deem necessary.
My system has been working fine since. I truly hope this works for you.
[email protected]
On my computer the spyware was named tpe.exe
There is also another registry value of the spyware located in:
Thanks for all the posts. I quickly got rid of this malware as a direct result of your posts. It was labeled tau.exe on my system. It also disabled my ability to run other exe files i.e. install Malwarebytes.
This link helped me fix the problem:
The below registry value was the only one altered on my system.

After correcting it and following all of the instructions on this page I was able to download and install Malwarebytes and my system is working fine again.
I did not have luck. First of all, the virus prevented me to run taskkill and almost any other program in order to scan it. So, I started the system in safe mode. I tried to delete all the entries mentioned. But, in my case, i could not find any entry mentioned above. Fortunately, in safe mode i could run a program called trojan killer. It scanned ok and found 2 infected files. The problem is the machines shuts down before the scan is complete. So, i cannot remove them ! any ideas

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Former Knox County Sheriff Tim Hutchison has filed for bankruptcy.
The Chapter 7 documents filed in federal court state that Hutchison has between one and 49 creditors, estimated assets of roughly $310,000 and estimated liabilities of around $337,000.
The liabilities stem from a lawsuit with Dean Stallings, the former owner of an Oak Ridge Ford dealership, and lawyers fees from that case.
Hutchison's pension is listed as being $93,000 per year.
A hearing on the bankruptcy is set for August 6.

"Beautiful birth announcement. Good quality paper. I ended up needing more and the additional announcements were shipped out immediately. Excellent customer service- would definitely order other products."
"I thought the card looked amazing when designing it, but was blown away by the style and quality one printed! These announcements were simply stunning and look like we spent a small fortune, when we really didn't! I can wait for our next purchase!"
"my daughter was born in the pre me the card turned out absolutely beautiful I love it. Tiny prints did such a great job they even sent me an email to have me confirm some small changes they may to make the picture in the print even more beautiful."
"This card came out so sweet. I loved the fonts and paper quality was great. The best card I've made so far on Shutterfly sites. I have to say I like Tiny Prints the best (vs Shutterfly)! Delivery was fast. I didn't even put a rush on it. I did ask for a designer review which is free. Thanks, Tiny Prints!"
"I am very glad that I chose to order my daughter's birth announcements from tinyprints. I added a similar photo to the example, but changed it to black and white and it really made her name in pink pop out. I received a lot of compliments! The design and printing are flawless and better than I imagined."

Is Organic Search Dead? Dying? Yes. And No.
Here at Sitewire we enjoy a good debate, especially when it gives us the chance to show off our smarts and flex our brain muscle. Here's a little glimpse of one such debate. With Google's continuous updates, increased emphasis on content strategy and the overall shift in digital media of late, the question of where and how organic search fits into all this is ever present. So, the brains on our media team began mulling it over. Travis Unwin, Director of Media Strategies, and Chris Corak, Lead Read More >

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
People always say this. But there was tons of MMOs that were suppose to beat WoW (WAR, Aion, to name to recent few), but they never did. In the game world, a company that has been going at it for a while (5 years) and has been doing a great job isn't just going to bet crushed. They know what they are doing. Plus people have invested time and money into Warcraft. Also many people know the lore and they like it, they want to see whats going to happen next, even if it does mean Tauren Paladins. How much money have you invested in wow? Lets assume you have been playing for 2 years, that's $360, not to mention $75+ for the game/xpac/xpac. If you have been playing for 5 years, as I have, you have spent around $900 (even as I type that, that number shocks me).
Now when you talk of MySpace/Yahoo/AOL, how much money did you invest in those companies? Zero (well, maybe AOL, but that's besides the point).
World of Warcraft will continue to be a great success as long as they have new expansions, content patches, and cater to all levels of players. (On that last note, games like WAR catered more towards pvp and some RP while games like Aion are almost completely devoted toward pve (8+ Hour raiding with no chance of leaving and coming back the next day)).

It Has Channels, and It's Not Mars
Spring Integration in Action
One newer member of the Spring family, Spring Integration, provides easy to use implementations of common integration patterns. This article taken from Spring Integration in Action, offers an overview of Spring Integration's message transport conduits, their individual characteristics, and how you can get the most of your application by using the right kind of channel for the job.
Messages don't achieve anything sitting all by themselves. In order to do something useful and pass along the information they're packaging, they need to travel from one component to another and, for this, we need channels, which are well-defined conduits for transporting messages across the system.
To use a letter analogy, the sender creates a letter and hands it off to the mailing system by depositing it into a well-known location, which is the mailbox. From there on, the letter is completely under the control of the mailing system, which delivers it to various waypoints, until it reaches the recipient. The most that the sender can expect is another reply—but, otherwise, who routes the message and who the physical recipient of the letter is (if, for example, the letter is addressed to an organization rather than a person) are things that are not known to it. From a logical standpoint, the channel is very much like a mailbox—a place where certain components, called Producers, deposit messages that are later on processed by other components, called Consumers. This way, Producers and Consumers are decoupled from each other and are only concerned about what kinds of messages they can send and receive, respectively.
One distinctive trait of Spring Integration, which differentiates it among other enterprise integration frameworks, is the emphasis that the channels play in defining the enterprise integration strategy. They're not just plain information transfer components, but they play an active role in defining the overall application behavior. The business processing takes place in the endpoints, but you just have to alter the channel configuration to completely change the application's runtime characteristics.
So, you'll see channels presented from a logical perspective, but you'll also get an overview of the various channel implementations provided by the framework, their individual characteristics, and how you can get the most of your application by using the right kind of channel for the job.
Using channels to move messages
To connect the producers and consumers configured within the application we use a channel. All channels within Spring Integration implement the MessageChannel interface shown below, which defines standard methods for the sending of messages. Note, however, that it provides no methods to allow the receipt of messages.
The reason for this is that the message channels provided by Spring Integration fall into two distinct categories that primarily differ with regard to the mechanism for handing the message over to the next endpoint.
Do you have any message for me?
PollableChannels as defined by the interface shown below require the receiver or the framework acting on behalf of the receiver to carry out a periodic check to see if messages are available on the channel. This approach has the advantage that the consumer can process messages at a time of their choosing. The approach can also have downsides, creating a tradeoff between longer poll periods, which create latency in the processing of a message, and computation overhead from more frequent polls that find no messages.
I'll let you know when I've got something
The alternative offered by Spring Integration is the SubscribableChannel interface, which is implemented by channels that take responsibility for notifying subscribers when a message is available. In most cases, however, the JOJO consumer code will remain unaware of the capabilities of the channel from which messages are received since the framework will take responsibility for subscribing or polling, as appropriate.
While it is important to understand the implications of whether a channel pushes out messages or is periodically polled, in most cases the framework will take on the concern of connecting a consumer to a channel, alleviating the complications of defining the appropriate consumer types. To put it plainly, your job is to select the appropriate channel type, and the framework will select the appropriate consumer type (polling or event driven).
The right channel for the job
Spring Integration offers a number of different channel implementations and since is an interface you are also free MessageChannel to provide your own implementations. The type of channel selected will have significant implications for your application, including transactional boundaries, latency, and overall throughput. This section will walk you through the factors to consider and a practical scenario of selecting appropriate channels. In the configuration, we will use the namespace but we will also discuss which concrete channel implementation will be instantiated by the framework.
In our flight-booking Internet application, a booking confirmation results in a number of actions. Foremost in the mind of many businesses is the need to get paid, so making sure that we can charge the provided credit card is a high priority. We will also want to update the number of available seats to ensure we don't overbook the flight. The system will also be required to send a confirmation email with details of the booking and additional information on the check in process. In addition to a website, our Internet booking application exposes a REST interface to allow third-party integration for flight comparison sites and resellers. Since most of the airline's premium customers come through the airline's own website, any design should allow us to prioritise bookings originating from there over third-party integration requests in order to ensure that the airline's direct customers experience a responsive website even in times of high load.

It's getting to that point in Spring time where I no longer desire the hardy tomato-laden pastas of winter, but instead want something light. When I saw this recipe in this month's Gourmet I knew I wanted a piece of it. What caught my eye with this recipe is that the sauce is actually pureed almonds instead of cream-based. The almonds have enough natural fats in them that they leave the dish with a creamy consistency.
This would be a fantastic pasta dish on a picnic, but Betsy and I had it as our main course and I took leftovers to work. It was great warm and cold. For the amount that it makes, it is very economical.
Pasta with Almond Sauce and Peas
- 1 pound small tubular pasta like elbow macaroni
- 1 Cup almonds, divided
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3/4 Cup water
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 1 10-ounce package frozen peas
- 1/2 Cup Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 Cup basil, roughly chopped
- 1/3 Cup mint, roughly chopped
Helpful Equipment
1) Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it well ( 1 tablespoon kosher salt per gallon). Add 3/4 cup of almonds to the water and boil for 3 minutes. Remove, drain, and let the almonds cool slightly. Then you can easily remove the skins.
2) Add the blanched almonds to a food processor with garlic, water, and a pinch of salt. Puree until smooth.
3) Melt 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large skillet or high-walled pan. Add your almond puree to this and let it simmer on medium-low heat.
4) Cook pasta according to package.
5) Once pasta is cooked, add it to the sauce. Add peas, cheese, lemon juice, and more butter. The pasta is done when the peas are warm.
6) Top each serving of the pasta with additional almonds, mint, and basil.
Serve immediately and also great for leftovers.
Adapted from Gourmet Magazine April 2009.
First thing we need to do is prep our almonds. Get a large pot of boiling, salted water going. I used the same pot to cook my pasta so make sure there is plenty of water. Once it is boiling dunk in 3/4 Cup of almonds for about 3 minutes. When they come out and cool a bit, you can literally slide the center part of the almond away from the skin just by pressing lightly.
You want to remove all the skins from them.
Then put your blanched almonds in a food processor with the garlic, water, and a pinch of salt. Puree this until it is very smooth. Add more water if necessary.
Meanwhile, melt 1 Tablespoon of your butter and oil in a large pan. The pan needs to be large enough to hold all of your ingredients eventually. Add your almond puree to this and let it start to simmer away.
While this is simmering, cook your pasta. I used the exact same water that I used for my almonds which gave a tiny hint of almond to the pasta. If your sauce gets too thick while your pasta cooks, just add a bit more water.
Once your pasta is cooked and your sauce is thickened (the sauce will probably take only 3 minutes to thicken), add the drained pasta to the sauce. Throw in the peas, cheese, lemon juice, and 2 more Tablespoons of butter at this point. It's done when your peas are heated through.
The other part of this dish is the last minute additions. This includes more almonds (roasted if you want) and fresh mint and basil.
Mix these guys in right before you are ready to serve. They give the dish some different texture and a huge amount of fresh herb flavor.
Like I said, Betsy and I had this quite happily for a few days. I may even venture to say that it was better on day two.
It's quick, cheap, healthy, and filling. What more could you want in a dish? (If the answer to this question, for you, is bacon then feel free to add some.)

Founders' Values Help Shape Gender Mix in High-Tech
STANFORD GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS—Observers have long noted that women are underrepresented in the young, fast-growing firms that dot Silicon Valley. Now, a six-year study of high-tech startups identifies factors that can predict how hospitable firms are to women and challenges the common assumption that access for women is uniformly low across technology firms.
While software and telecommunications companies are less inviting to women in scientific and technical roles than are biotech, medical device, and research firms, Business School Professor Michael Hannan and James Baron of the Yale University School of Management say that an even greater predictor of how women will fare may be how the founder decided to organize a firm early in its history.
In research conducted with Greta Hsu and Ozgecan Kocak, both graduates of the School's doctoral program, they discovered that the fewest scientific and technical women are found in those firms started along what the researchers call "the commitment model," in which employees are chosen based on their fit with the company's culture, motivated by their emotional attachment to the firm, and controlled by their peer group. Firms that value individual achievement and do not require an emotional attachment have more women. The evidence suggests that differences in hiring, rather than in attrition rates, account for women's underrepresentation in high-commitment firms. Baron says that it may not be high-commitment cultures in isolation that are adverse to women, but rather the particular types of commitments required by the high-tech Silicon Valley companies they studied.
The researchers also found that the largest numbers of women are employed in technical and scientific roles within companies that are larger, growing more rapidly, and competing primarily through technological innovation. These companies also tend to be post-IPO, which means they are offering less lucrative opportunities than ground-zero startups that often award stock options to employees before a public offering takes place. The companies with more women in scientific and technical roles also tended to have already gone public and had hired a full-time human resources employee or adopted an affirmative action plan. The results suggest that women are hired more rapidly into firms experiencing changes that require formal employment policies.
Baron, the Walter Kenneth Kilpatrick Professor of Organizational Behavior and Human Resources, and Hannan, the StrataCom Professor of Management and a professor of sociology in the School of Humanities and Sciences, based their study on data gathered through the Stanford Project on Emerging Companies (SPEC), which has studied the evolution of 167 high-tech startups since 1994. Overall, firms in the study had the greatest concentration of women in clerical positions (on average, 91 percent female), followed by administrators (54 percent), sales and marketing (28 percent), technical roles (17 percent), and senior management (14 percent).
The research by Baron and his collaborators also suggests that the effects of female leadership on the hiring of women into technical roles depend on where the women are located within senior management. Surprisingly, they found that women's overall presence in senior management has little effect on the number of women within the firm-possibly because across all the firms, senior women are concentrated in HR and administrative positions (33 percent), with very few overseeing engineering or R&D (4 percent). In fact, only one in ten of the firms had had a woman in the CEO, president, or founder slot. However, firms in which a woman had occupied one of those top positions-or had overseen the engineering or R&D function-were significantly more likely to employ women in scientific and technical positions.
Past research on the gender mix within organizations has suggested that women tend to fare better in firms in which their relative numbers are currently highest. The SPEC team's findings suggest, however, that decisions made early in the life of an organization are no less profound in predicting the current extent of gender inequality.

Why Are So Many Jewish Parents Opting Not To Vaccinate Their Kids for HPV?
Concerns grow about the shot's efficacy, despite promising results. Maybe we're more worried about our daughters' sexuality.
Cerbone is a Russian Jew who understands the skeptical-of-authority worldview. "I would say to parents, 'I really understand your suspicions! I am a home-birther!' But the science on this is really good. Are you waiting to find out in 10 years that the science is really good, and by then your kid will have pre-cancer? Are you secretly afraid of your little daughter having sex? Look, a lot of parenting decisions and health-care decisions are not based in science. They're emotional: One part doing what our moms did and one part doing exactly the opposite of what our moms did; one part who we're hanging around with and one part what our deepest fears are."
And if our deepest fears really are of seeing our daughters as sexual creatures at an earlier age than we'd like (or, uh, at all), rest assured that studies repeatedly show that getting the vaccine isn't associated with promiscuity. "One study looked at girls who got the vaccine and at later markers of sexual activity: birth control, pregnancy, and STD testing," Darden told me. "There was no relation. Another study found that girls who'd had the vaccine had no earlier initiation of sexual activity and the same number of partners as girls who didn't have the vaccine … but girls who'd had the vaccine were more likely to use condoms." Come on, fellow groovy parents! Don't we want to raise girls who are self-protective and confident enough to make boys put a sleeve on it?
I'd be curious to know what happens with the new(ish) recommendation that boys get the vaccine, too. (Interestingly, for boys the pitch is that the vaccine will prevent penile warts. Which sound really gross. But if I had a son, I'd rather tell him that women's sexual health is a man's issue, too, and part of being a mensch is protecting his partner's health. Even if he's asymptomatic, does he want to spread a virus to the person he's shtupping?)
But I wonder, as time passes and more pediatricians get the message that the vaccine is for boys, too, whether boys will be more likely to get the vaccine because adults more comfortable with the notion of boys having sex. Or will the new guidelines mean increased compliance for boys and girls, because it won't seem as if we're obsessing solely about girls' sexual behavior? "We are trying to do a study to find out whether recommending the vaccine for both boys and girls will mean increased uptake for girls," Darden told me. "I'm hopeful, but I don't know the answer."
One final point: If your kid is older than 11 and you've opted out of the vaccine, or if you're in your early 20s and haven't gotten it, it's not too late. Research shows that the vaccine still works—though perhaps not quite as well—for women up to age 26 and guys up to age 21. And it's quite possible your pediatrician never sold you or your parents on it. "We pediatricians are uncomfortable talking about sex," sighed Darden. "That makes us uncomfortable talking about the vaccine, and parents hear or sense our discomfort, so we're not as effective as we could be [when it comes to promoting the vaccine]. We pediatricians like babies! We just don't want to talk about how we get them!" Darden's two daughters, now 25 and 27, were vaccinated as soon as the vaccine was available, and Cerbone plans to vaccinate her three kids as well. (Her oldest is needle-phobic, so she's going to wait an extra year.)
So, my crunchy-granola friends: Look for actual, credible sources about vaccine safety, as opposed to anecdotal ones and ones that don't distinguish between correlation and causation. Consider the reliability of the evidence indicating that this vaccine is more cynical and money-grubby than other vaccines. Think about the long-term health of your kid. And my frum friends: Know that even if your daughter has just one sexual partner in her life, she's still at risk from HPV.
Doing this story strengthened my resolve to get the vaccine for my kids. When I talked about my concerns with Josie, her response was instantaneous: "I hate shots! They hurt! But why would I not want a shot that keeps me from having cancer a long time from now if now is the best time to get the shot?" Out of the mouths of babes. So, as I've said before: Do the Jewish thing and have your kid vaccinated.

Proving a Learner's Plagiarism
A two-week old post on the Texas Community College Teachers Association blog caught my attention this morning: Charge of Plagiarism Upheld in Court. My initial reaction was that I do not understand how it's "a good thing" that accusations of learner plagiarism not be supported by identification of a plagiarized document. Reading the court opinion, however, adds critical information not mentioned by the TCCTA blog; considering the additional information, the issue is a great deal more complex.
In this instance, a student procrastinated on a paper and turned in a draft that relied entirely on complex primary historical documents; the paper presented advanced analysis of those documents requiring, arguably, the proficiency of a graduate student or professional historian. When confronted by the professor, who "voiced concerns about the integrity of the document," the student was unable to adequately defend or discuss the contents of the paper. A failing grade was assigned, and a seemingly thorough institutional appeals process was followed resulting in the student's degree being delayed given the "blatant nature" of the plagiarism.
Ultimately, however,
College authorities were unable "to identify additional sources from which [the student] material used in [his] paper, the preponderance of the evidence indicates that other parts of the paper are not [his] work,"
. . .
[The Student] was never "confronted with the source from which he was charged with plagiarizing."
For me, that's a significant concern. As I commented on the TCCTA blog, if the integrity of a faculty member were challenged, a significant burden of proof would be required by an institutional review process before rendering a decision that would tarnish a professor's academic reputation and jeopardize their future, and that burden of proof would almost absolutely require that a plagiarized document be identified for comparison. However, as the court's decision in this case noted,
the College's Student Academic Honesty Code (hereinafter the Code) does not define plagiarism to require that the source of the plagiarism be specifically identified. While the faculty handbook suggests that any plagiarism charge be accompanied by "a comparison of the source document with the plagiarized document," such a submission is not mandated by the College's rules and regulations…
The court ruled that "compelling circumstantial evidence exists," and as it is described in paragraph 6 of the decision, I would agree. However, I have grave concerns with having two standards for defining plagiarism in scholarly work; I believe the proficiency and academic experience of the scholar is immaterial. I don't want students to plagiarize, and if I believe they are, I certainly want to pursue the issue. But, should we not value student scholarship enough that we require a significant burden of proof to support accusations of plagiarism – that we should at least require a plagiarized document be produced as we would if challenging any other scholar? How firm is the ground on which we choose to stand if we judge a student to have plagiarized based on the judgement of faculty?
Certainly, as faculty, I value the professional judgement of faculty, but I personally would not challenge the integrity of a student unless I had a source document in hand. I will not challenge a student's integrity based on suspicions and circumstantial evidence – no matter how compelling; by doing so, I feel I am placing my own integrity and professionalism at risk.

The trial began Monday for an Albany man charged with the hit and run death of a hearing impaired man last year.
34-year-old Terry Roberson is charged with vehicular homicide in the death of 66-year-old Roosevelt Cooley in January 2010. Cooley could not hear or speak.
He was hit by two cars while crossing West Oglethorpe Boulevard. Neither car stopped.
Two months later, police arrested Roberson and said he was the driver of the first car to strike Cooley.
Prosecutors say Roberson had a suspended license and had been drinking when he ran a red light that rainy night.

- 2. Conserving biodiversity
- 3. Managing heritage and protecting significant areas
- 4. Monitoring and compliance
- 5. Reporting
- Appendix 1 — Statistics on the operation of the EPBC Act during 2005–06

Operation of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999
This report describes the operation of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) from 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006. This is the sixth annual report on the operation of the EPBC Act as required by section 516.
As in previous years, this report follows a format allowing examination of the operation of the EPBC Act against the key priorities in implementing the EPBC Act.
These priorities are:
- ensuring a clear role for the Australian Government in protecting matters of national environmental significance (addressed in part 1.1 of this report)
- providing effective protection of the environment in proposals involving the Australian Government (part 1.2)
- increasing intergovernmental cooperation and reducing duplication (part 1.3)
- providing an efficient, timely and effective assessment and approval process with certainty for stakeholders (part 1.4)
- increasing transparency and public awareness (part 1.5)
- taking an integrated approach to conserving biodiversity (part 2)
- managing heritage and protecting significant areas (part 3)
- implementing a robust monitoring and compliance regime (part 4).
The Australian Government, through the operation of the EPBC Act, continues to protect matters of national environmental significance—namely the ecological character of internationally important wetlands, nationally listed threatened species and ecological communities, listed migratory species, the Commonwealth marine environment, the values of world heritage properties, the values of national heritage places and protection of the environment from the impact of nuclear actions. In addition, the EPBC Act provides protection for the environment in relation to proposals involving Commonwealth land and regulates activities of Australian Government agencies that might significantly impact on the environment.
In 2005–06 the government implemented a range of new approaches to ensure the EPBC Act continues to be administered efficiently and effectively.
In September 2005, the department's Approvals and Wildlife Division was restructured to provide for a more streamlined approach to decision-making under the EPBC Act. Significant upgrades were made to databases and websites supporting the EPBC Act, improving both public access to information and transparency of decision-making. The EPBC Act website was upgraded to improve useability, and simplify access to key information. A major website on whales and other cetaceans was launched (www.saveourwhales.gov.au), which included a new online database for sightings and strandings, and a section to meet the needs of school children. The referrals and assessments database was upgraded, improving access to public notices for industry sectors and other interested parties.
New EPBC Act policy statements were released to provide guidance on what should be referred to the minister for decision on whether assessment and approval are required under the EPBC Act. The policy statements addressed matters of national environmental significance and actions on, or impacting upon, Commonwealth land and actions by Commonwealth agencies. In 2006–07 further policy statements will be released providing more detailed guidance on individual species and ecological communities and for specific industry sectors.
The Australian Government reviewed its approach to regional marine planning. In order to further the government's commitment to management of Australia's oceans, the regional marine planning programme has been strengthened by bringing it directly under the EPBC Act, providing a focus on environmental protection and biodiversity and greater certainty for industry. Under the new approach, marine bioregional plans are being developed for Australia's 14 million square kilometre ocean jurisdiction under section 176 of the EPBC Act. Marine bioregional plans focus on meeting Australian Government conservation and heritage responsibilities within Commonwealth waters. The plans will therefore be key documents guiding the minister, sectoral managers and industry on the key conservation issues and priorities in each marine region.
Defining and identifying an ecological community for listing under the EPBC Act has proven to be a complex task—definitions must be scientifically rigorous yet straightforward enough for the general community to use. To improve the clarity of definitions, a new approach was implemented in 2005–06 which takes into account the impact of degradation and regional variation in widespread ecological communities. The new approach involves tighter definition of ecological communities through the use of condition classes. This ensures that only the better condition classes are included in the definition of the listed ecological community for protection under the EPBC Act. Other lower quality degraded areas still qualify for potential recovery actions through established natural resource management programmes and recovery planning processes. On 17 May 2006, the white box–yellow box–Blakely's red gum grassy woodland and derived native grassland ecological community was listed as critically endangered. This is the first broad-scale ecological community listed under the new approach to listing.
A significant achievement in 2005–06 was the conclusion of the first round of comprehensive fishery assessments under the EPBC Act on 1 December 2005. The fisheries were assessed against the Guidelines for the Ecologically Sustainable Management of Fisheries, with the outcomes published in detailed reports on the department's website. During 2005–06 assessments were completed for 25 fisheries, including seven Australian Government-managed fisheries and 18 state-managed fisheries. This brings the cumulative number of fishery assessments completed since 2000 to 113. All fisheries assessed during the year received export approval. The outcome of the assessments included a broad range of recommendations that require Australian Government and state and territory fishery management agencies to demonstrate improved environmental performance and enhance the ecologically sustainable management of fisheries in the short to medium term.
This year the Administrative Appeals Tribunal delivered judgments in two cases involving challenges to decisions made under the EPBC Act. In April 2006 the tribunal confirmed the minister's declaration that the Southern Bluefin Tuna Fishery is an approved wildlife trade operation in accordance with section 303FN of the EPBC Act. In the second case, the RSPCA (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Humane Society International applied to the tribunal for review of the decision to issue permits under section 303CG of the EPBC Act to Taronga Zoo and Melbourne Zoo for the import of Asian elephants from Thailand. On 6 February 2006 the tribunal decided to allow the import of the elephants subject to a number of additional welfare related conditions.
The department worked with the exotic bird keeping sector to address growing concerns about the management of illegal trade in exotic birds, in particular the onus under the EPBC Act on bird keepers to verify that birds in their possession are legally imported, or are the progeny of legally imported birds. In December 2005 the Exotic bird keepers Advisory Group was established with departmental support to prioritise and progress bird keeping issues. Through the advisory group, the department aims to remedy the lack of record keeping by bird keepers since the National Exotic Bird Registration Scheme closed in 2002.
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) was listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act in 2005–06. The major threat to the species is devil facial tumour disease, a mysterious cancer which causes large tumours to grow on the face and neck of infected animals. The disease has been fatal in all cases recorded so far, and has caused a decline in the number of Tasmanian devils over the last decade, particularly in eastern Tasmania. Listing the Tasmanian devil as a threatened species complements the work being undertaken on the disease and promotes the species' recovery through development of a recovery plan and enhancing the species' legislative protection.
In 2005–06 the department received 341 referrals, of which 191 were deemed not to be controlled actions and required no further assessment. Seventy-eight referrals (71 after reconsideration) were deemed to be controlled actions requiring assessment and approval under the EPBC Act, and it was decided that a further 64 actions (67 after reconsideration) could proceed without approval if undertaken in a particular manner. Following assessment, 35 actions were approved with conditions designed to protect matters of national environmental significance and the environment. Two actions were not approved. The department also received 13 requests for advice under section 160 of the EPBC Act from Australian Government decision-makers.1
Overall the statutory timeframes for referral, assessment and approval decisions were met on 85 per cent of occasions, which is a decrease from the previous year2. This is indicative of the time required for decision-making on an increasing number of complex and sensitive proposed actions, and the increasing work resulting from actions referred in previous years now entering the approvals phase.
In December 2005 the first ever approvals bilateral agreement under the EPBC Act was entered into with the New South Wales Government for the Sydney Opera House. The agreement provides for the protection of the world heritage and national heritage values of the Sydney Opera House and aims to ensure an efficient, timely and effective process for environmental assessment and approval of actions in accordance with the management plan for the Sydney Opera House.
This year, 21 places were added to the National Heritage List, bringing the total places in the list to 31. Nine Commonwealth agencies completed their heritage strategies which were found by the minister to be of a satisfactory standard. In January 2006, the Australian Government lodged a nomination for the Sydney Opera House to be inscribed on the World Heritage List.
1 Section 160 applies to certain Australian Government authorisations, such as providing foreign aid that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment.
2 A review of EPBC Act statistics undertaken after the 2004–05 reporting period revealed that 90 per cent of statutory timeframes were met, rather than 83 per cent as reported in the annual report.

text: Posted Online: May 10, 2013, 2:50 am African customs shared during Scandinavian fest Comment on this story By Leon Lagerstam, firstname.lastname@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: John Greenwood Linda Shoesmith, at right, describes the Scandinavian clothing models are wearing during First Lutheran Church's annual Scandinavian Festival. The church is at 1600 20th St., Rock Island. ROCK ISLAND -- Scandinavians will renew some African mission work next weekend, without leaving the Quad-Cities. First Lutheran Church, 1600 20th St., will welcome guest performers from Calvary International Revival Church to the fifth annual Scandinavian Arts Fest from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19. The fest typically features folk arts, crafts, music, food, customs and traditions related to Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland. Calvary International Revival Church members consist mostly of African refugees who will share music, dancing and their cultural traditions. They've been worshiping at First Lutheran, after flooding and related structural problems led city inspectors to declare their church uninhabitable. Offerings will help Calvary members in their time of need, said First Lutheran pastor the Rev. Greg Mayer. The refugee-dominated church met at First Lutheran years ago before getting its own church, the former home of House of Fire Ministries. "We have a history together," Rev. Mayer said, referring to the Calvary International Church. As Calvary church leaders work with city inspectors and contractors to determine whether they ever can return to their church, they're welcome to worship at 12:30 p.m. Sundays at First Lutheran, he said. The first thing Calvary church members will have to do if they want back in the building will be to fix the roof, and then determine, with an engineer's help, what else must be done to make it safe to return, Rev. Mayer said. Scandinavian countries also have a long, rich history of mission work in Africa, and including African refugees in a Scandinavian Arts Fest is an extension of that history, he said. The fest also continues a Scandinavian art focus the congregation decided to promote long ago. It's held in conjunction with Norwegian National Independence Day on May 17 and St. Eric Day, the patron Saint of Sweden, on May 18, Rev. Mayer said. It's all about passing the heritage to the younger generation, he said, adding that church youth will be involved in preparing food and crafts for the fest. Baked goods will include traditional rye breads, almond cakes, cardamom coffee cakes, lefse and a variety of pastries. Coffee and smoothies also will be sold at the "Kaffe Stuga." Lunch items include meat pies, potato sausage, Swedish meatballs, sausage wrapped in lefse, and herring. Scandinavian collectibles and antiques will be featured. Weaving, spinning, carving, needlework and painting samples will be on display, as well as a antique quilt display, which is new this year, Rev. Mayer said. Many items will be sold in a "Trash and Treasure" room.Yard, shop and small furniture pieces will be sold in the garage. Vocal and instrumental music will be performed in the church and on the grounds. For information, call the church at 309-788-9661.
