As part of the recently negotiated interim agreement with the Islamic Republic of Iran ("Iran") to temporarily suspend certain aspects of Iran's nuclear program, the United States and other countries have agreed temporarily to suspend certain sanctions measures targeting Iran. Specifically, in accordance with the Joint Plan of Action ("JPOA"), dated November 24, 2013, [1] entered into by the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and the People's Republic of China with Iran, on January 20, 2014, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and U.S. Department of State issued guidance [2] implementing sanctions relief relating to the following activities and associated services: [3] (i) Iranian exports of crude oil; (ii) Iranian exports of petrochemical products; (ii) transactions involving gold and other precious metals; (iv) transactions relating to the Iranian automotive industry; (v) transactions relating to civil aviation in Iran; and (vi) humanitarian and other assistance. See also 79 Fed. Reg. 4522 (Jan. 28, 2014); 79 Fed. Reg. 5025 (Jan. 30, 2014). [4]
The United States has implemented a complex web of U.S. trade restrictions relating to the activities of U.S. persons and sanctions relating principally to the activities of non-U.S. persons involving Iran. The trade restrictions, which are administered by OFAC, are embodied in the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations ("ITSR") and other regulations administered by OFAC, while the sanctions, which are administered jointly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of States, are embodied in a series of statutes and Executive Orders and are implemented, in part, with respect to non-U.S. financial institutions through the OFAC-administered Iranian Financial Sanctions Regulations. As detailed below, with limited exceptions, the U.S. sanctions relief measures primarily relate to the U.S. sanctions targeting non-U.S. persons, including, in particular, non-U.S. financial institutions, and only pertain to activities and associated services that are both initiated and concluded exclusively during the six-month period beginning on January 20, 2014 and ending July 20, 2014 ("JPOA Period").
As noted above, the EU also is implementing temporary sanctions relaxation measures in connection with the JPOA that suspend: (i) the prohibition on the provision of insurance and reinsurance and transportation services for Iranian crude oil sold to non-EU countries; (ii) the prohibition on the import, purchase, or transport of Iranian petrochemical products and on the provision of related services; and (iii) the prohibition on trade in gold and precious metals with the Government of Iran, its public bodies, and the Central Bank of Iran, or persons or entities acting on their behalf.
Given the limited scope and duration of the sanctions relief, as well as the uncertainty regarding the prospects for a long-term agreement, the continuing drumbeat in the U.S. Congress for new and more restrictive sanctions, and the substantial complexity of the sanctions regimes subject to relief, it is advisable for anyone seeking to pursue potential new business opportunities based on the recent U.S. guidance to exercise extreme caution.
Iranian Exports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products.
Subject to certain exceptions, U.S. law authorizes the imposition of sanctions on non-U.S. persons for engaging in certain activities relating to the energy sector of Iran, including, in particular, significant transactions for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran.
Pursuant to a sanctions waiver set forth in the relief guidelines, during the JPOA Period the following countries will be permitted to maintain their current average level of imports of petroleum and petroleum products from Iran: China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey. Services associated with such transactions will not subject the service providers to sanctions during the JPOA period. As part of this relief, the U.S. Government will not require U.S. financial institutions to impose correspondent or payable-through account sanctions with respect to foreign financial institutions under the primary jurisdiction of China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey that conduct or facilitate transactions exclusively during the JPOA Period by non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR [5] relating to the export of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran to these countries, as well as associated insurance and transportation services, including transactions involving the National Iranian Oil Company ("NIOC") or the National Iranian Tanker Company ("NITC"). [6] Please note, however, that these transactions cannot involve persons on the SDN List other than NIOC, NITC, or any Iranian depository institutions listed solely pursuant to Executive Order 13599, which essentially means no Iranian financial institutions that are specifically designated on the SDN List as supporting terrorism or the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
In addition, under the JPOA, approximately $4.2 billion held in accounts in non-U.S. financial institutions that have been designated under the U.S. sanctions relief guidelines as Restricted Funds [7] are permitted to be repatriated in eight installments throughout the JPOA Period, contingent on the fulfillment by Iran of its commitments under the JPOA. [8]
Furthermore, the U.S. Government will not impose blocking sanctions (i.e., the designation of entities as SDNs and an associated asset freeze) with respect to non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR that, exclusively during the JPOA Period, materially assist, sponsor, or provide financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services, in support of the above-described exports of petroleum or petroleum products from Iran to China, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey.
The U.S. Government also is suspending the application of so-called "menu-based" sanctions relating to petroleum-related transactions. By statute, the U.S. Government is required to impose a certain number sanctions from a "menu" of available sanctions when imposing sanctions for petroleum-related trade with Iran.
Iranian Exports of Petrochemical Products.
U.S. law authorizes the imposition of sanctions on non-U.S. persons for engaging in certain activities relating to the petrochemical sector of Iran, including, in particular, significant transactions for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran. These activities will not subject the involved parties to sanctions during the JPOA Period. As with petroleum and petroleum products transactions, as part of this relief, the U.S. Government will not require U.S. financial institutions to impose correspondent or payable-through account sanctions with respect to foreign financial institutions that conduct or facilitate transactions by non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR involving the export of petrochemical products, as defined in Executive Order 13622, initiated and completed during the JPOA Period, and will not impose blocking sanctions with respect to persons engaged in activities ancillary to such transactions. The transactions at issue, however, cannot involve persons on the SDN List, with the exception of 14 specifically enumerated Iranian petrochemical companies and any Iranian depository institutions listed solely pursuant to Executive Order 13599. The U.S. Government also is suspending the application of additional "menu-based" sanctions required to be imposed on non-U.S. persons in connection with sanctions for engaging in specified petrochemical transactions.
Transactions Involving Gold and Other Precious Metals.
U.S. law authorizes the imposition of sanctions on non-U.S. persons for engaging in certain activities relating to precious metals, including, in particular, the sale, supply, or transfer, directly or indirectly, to or from Iran, of any precious metal. These activities will not subject the involved parties to sanctions during the JPOA Period. As part of this relief, the U.S. Government will not require U.S. financial institutions to impose correspondent or payable-through account sanctions with respect to foreign financial institutions that conduct or facilitate transactions by non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR for the purchase or acquisition of precious metals to or from Iran that are initiated and completed during the JPOA Period. However, the funds for the purchase of any such precious metals may not be drawn from Restricted Funds and the transactions cannot involve persons on the SDN List other than Government of Iran entities and Iranian depository institutions listed solely pursuant to Executive Order 13599. In addition, the U.S. Government will not impose blocking sanctions with respect to persons engaged in activities ancillary to such transactions during the JPOA Period.
Transactions Involving the Iranian Automotive Industry.
Under U.S. law, non-U.S. persons may be sanctioned for engaging in significant transactions for the sale, supply, or transfer to Iran of significant goods or services used in connection with the automotive sector in Iran. These activities will not subject the involved parties to sanctions during the JPOA Period. During the JPOA Period, the U.S. Government also is suspending the requirement that U.S. financial institutions impose correspondent or payable-through account and menu-based sanctions in connection with the sale, supply, or transfer to Iran of goods, including complete knock-down kits, and services, including shipping, warranty, insurance, and maintenance services, used in connection with the Iranian automotive sector [9] by non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR, as well as associated services, provided that such transactions do not involve any persons on the SDN List other than Iranian depository institutions listed solely pursuant to Executive Order 13599.
Transactions Relating to Civil Aviation in Iran.
The ITSR generally prohibit the exportation, reexportation, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from the United States or by a U.S. person, wherever located, of any goods, technology, or services to Iran or the Government of Iran. Furthermore, the ITSR generally prohibit the reexportation by a non-U.S. person from a third country, directly or indirectly, to Iran or the Government of Iran of any goods that have been exported from the United States, if the exportation of such goods from the United States to Iran was subject to applicable U.S. export license application requirements.
However, pursuant to the Statement of Licensing Policy on Activities Related to the Safety of Iran's Civil Aviation Industry, [10] which was published by OFAC coincident with the JPOA guidance, U.S. persons, non-U.S. entities owned or controlled by U.S. persons, and non-U.S. persons can request specific authorization from OFAC to engage in otherwise prohibited exports or reexports that are initiated and completed entirely within the JPOA Period to ensure the safe operation of Iranian commercial passenger aircraft, including transactions involving Iran Air, but not other Iranian airlines appearing on the SDN List. The activities that may be licensed include, but are not limited to, the exportation and reexportation of services related to the inspection, repair, or servicing of commercial aircraft and parts in Iran or a third country and goods, including spare parts, to Iran or a third country. Any licensed activity must be concluded by July 20, 2014.
Furthermore, in connection with activities described in the statement of licensing policy (see above) conducted by non-U.S. persons that would not require a specific OFAC license, the U.S. Government will not require U.S. financial institutions to impose correspondent or payable-through account sanctions with respect to foreign financial institutions that conduct or facilitate such activities, provided that such activities are initiated and concluded entirely within the JPOA Period and do not involve persons other than Iran Air or Iranian depository institutions listed solely pursuant to Executive Order 13599 on the SDN List.
Finally, the U.S. Government will not impose blocking sanctions on non-U.S. persons engaged in ancillary activities within the scope of the JPOA guidance.
Humanitarian and Other Assistance.
The JPOA also established a mechanism whereby foreign financial institutions selected by Iran and specifically contacted and advised by the U.S. Government will be permitted to facilitate purchases by Iran food, agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices, as well as Iran's payment of its United Nations obligations, payments for medical expenses incurred by Iranian citizens outside of Iran, and payments totaling approximately $400 million in tuition assistance for Iranian students studying outside of Iran. Please note, however, that preexisting exceptions to the U.S. sanctions regime generally permit humanitarian trade with Iran such that the above-described mechanism is not the exclusive means for non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR to facilitate or finance such sales.
* * *
With the exception of humanitarian trade and activities relating to civil aviation in Iran, U.S. persons and their owned or controlled non-U.S. affiliates are not impacted by the temporary sanctions relief detailed above. Indeed, the sanctions relief specifically targets so-called "secondary" sanctions, which apply to non-U.S. persons even when no U.S. persons or items of U.S.-origin are involved. The sanctions relief window, however, even in the case of non-U.S. persons, is quite narrow and non-U.S. persons intending to engage in transactions on the basis that they temporarily are free from sanctions are advised to carefully assess whether such transactions are, in fact, exempt from sanctions and whether such transactions reasonably can be concluded prior to July 20, 2014. Also, please be aware that if Iran fails to live up to its commitments, the temporary sanctions relief may be terminated, even prior to July 20, 2014.
For assistance understanding and applying the temporary sanctions relief, please contact Daniel J. Gerkin, Donald W. Smith, or Jerome J. Zaucha in Washington in connection with U.S. implementation issues and Vanessa Edwards in London in connection with EU implementation issues.

[3] For purposes of the JPOA sanctions relief, the term "associated service" means any necessary service, including any insurance, transportation, or financial service, ordinarily incident to the underlying activity covered by the JPOA, provided that, with certain exceptions, such services may not involve persons identified on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons ("SDN List") maintained by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC").
[4] Please note that the European Union likewise implemented temporary sanctions relief, effective January 20, 2014, through Council Regulation 2014/42/EU, which amended Council Regulation (EU) 267/2012 (see a further description of the EU relief below).
[5] The term "non-U.S. persons not otherwise subject to the ITSR" refers to non-U.S. persons that are neither owned or controlled by U.S. persons.
[6] Any funds owed to Iran as a result of such trade must be credited to an account located in the country with primary jurisdiction over the foreign financial institution involved in the transaction. However, as detailed below, please note that these funds may not be used for the purchase or acquisition of gold or other previous metals.
[7] "Restricted Funds" refers to: (i) any existing and future revenues from the sale of Iranian petroleum or petroleum products, wherever held; and (ii) any Central Bank of Iran ("CBI") funds, with certain exceptions for non-petroleum CBI funds held in third country central banks.
[8] Certain financial institutions in the above-listed six countries, as well as financial institutions under the primary jurisdiction of Switzerland, may be notified directly in writing by the U.S. Government that they are authorized to engage in financial transactions with the Central Bank of Iran in connection with the repatriation of revenues and the establishment of a financial channel for humanitarian and other assistance, as detailed below. Only those financial institutions that are contacted by the U.S. Government directly will be permitted to engage in these activities without risking the imposition of U.S. sanctions.
[9] The Iranian automotive sector means the manufacturing or assembling in Iran of light and heavy vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, buses, minibuses, pick-up trucks, and motorcycles, as well as original equipment manufacturing and aftermarket parts manufacturing relating to such vehicles.

Lonely and Stronger than ever
WIshed upon the stars I did
Looking after my inner kid
Mum wherever you are please hear
'Coz my mind is fragile here
And behind and behond and all that
Well I get help from the dark side too
Choosing to leave them in boo-hoo
COme with me and soak it all up
The fragile glass won't cut
Thanks to those who believed in me
It's only setting me more and more free
Don't like me? Or Truth? It's up to you
THe ball's in your court so how do you do>

Bilingualism in Development by Ellen Bialystok
Book DescriptionBilingualism in Development is an examination of the language and cognitive development of bilingual children focusing primarily on the preschool years. It begins by defining the territory for what is included in bilingualism and how language proficiency can be conceptualized. Using these constraints, the discussion proceeds to review the research relevant to various aspects of children's development and assesses the role that bilingualism has in each. The areas covered include language acquisition, metalinguistic ability, literacy skill, and problem-solving ability. In each case, the performance of bilingual children is compared to that of similar monolinguals, and differences are interpreted in terms of a theoretical framework for cognitive development and processing. The studies show that bilingualism significantly accelerates children's ability to selectively attend to relevant information and inhibit attention to misleading information or competing responses. This conclusion is used as the basis for examining a set of related issues regarding the education and social circumstances of bilingual children.

Summer Idea - Bowen Island Paddle-Boarding
When you're dodging umbrellas on the way to work, you know fall has officially hit. If you're dreaming of summer plans already, here's a great idea: head to Bowen Island for some ocean paddle-boarding.
Bowen Island is only 45-minutes from Vancouver, but it felt miles away: it's small, quaint and laid-back. After the ferry docked, a short stroll led us to an open-air market, galleries, studios, stores and restaurants (we stopped for fresh fish-n-chips on a patio).
Soon we were in need of cooler temperatures, so we headed to the dock to try paddle-boarding. This not-so-extreme water sport is like a cross between kayaking and surfing: there is a wide, long board and an equally long oar, and you're supposed to stand up and paddle.
Sounds simple, right? Well it's trickier than it looks (balance is key) - and I definitely made the first splash into the ocean (luckily the water was cool and refreshing).
After a few wobbly moments, we all picked it up and spent the rest of the hour cruising around - even spotting a pack of glossy seals likewise enjoying the water. Another great thing about paddle-boarding? It's very affordable! This left us plenty of money to snack on the delicious, authentic tacos, conveniently located on the pier next door to the kayaking/boarding shop.
Paddle-boarding available from Bowen Island Sea Kayaking.

Yangnan Gu, Ph.D.
Graduate, MCDB Program
After receiving my bachelor's degree in China, I joined IU Biology's Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) Graduate Program (now the Genome, Cell, and Developmental Biology [GCDB] Graduate Program) under the supervision of Professor Roger Innes. I feel lucky and grateful as I look back at my life in graduate school. I was generously supported by both the department and the Innes lab, through which I earned both a Ph.D. degree in Biology and a master's degree in Statistics. Combination backgrounds and different expertise paved my future career path and shaped my scientific thinking in a unique way. More importantly, I was exposed to state-of-art facilities as well as smart scientists and friendly staff, with whom I worked out great science and developed deep and long-term interest in the molecular mechanism of programmed cell death during host-microbe interactions. Currently, I am continuing my study on this topic at Duke University as a postdoctoral research associate.

Jing Nie, Ph.D.
2014 Graduate, GCDB Program
Originally from Inner Mongolia, China, I graduated from the GCDB Program in 2014. My doctoral research was conducted in the laboratory of Dr. Andrew Zelhof, focusing on the morphogenesis of Drosophila photoreceptor cells. Currently I am a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University School of Medicine, studying the inner ear hair cells derived from pluripotent stem cells in a 3D culture system. I am using the CRISPR technology to edit the genome in stem cells to create hearing disease models and to create otic reporter cell lines for drug screening. I am grateful for the amazing education and training I received at IU.

Neha Paranjape
GCDB Doctoral Student
I am originally from Nagpur, India. I came to Bloomington, IN, to earn my Ph.D. through the IU GCDB Graduate Program. I am a member of Dr. Brian Calvi's lab where we use Drosophila melanogaster as a model system to study how cells decide when and where to initiate replication. There is no strict DNA consensus sequence for replication origins in metazoans, and we study how factors other than DNA sequence itself influence and regulate the process of origin selection. Our research indicates that hyperacetylation of nucleosomes near origins influence their selection and activity. I am now investigating the role of histone variants in the process. I am very happy that I chose IU for my graduate work as it provides a perfect mix of a collaborative and intellectual work environment, superb research facilities, collegial colleagues, and very supportive faculty and staff.

Josh Plotnik
GCDB Doctoral Student
I grew up in Framingham, MA, and am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, majoring in biological sciences and minoring in chemistry. I am in the GCDB graduate program at Indiana University and a member of Peter Hollenhorst's lab. Our lab focuses on the transcriptional regulation by the ETS family of transcription factors. We specialize at the intersection of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and biochemistry to identify mechanisms driving cancer progression through the deregulation of ETS-driven gene expression programs. I chose Indiana University because of the access to first-class resources (IMBI, CGB, LMIC, etc.) and the collaborative environment established by faculty members on campus. Plus, Bloomington is an awesome place to live as a graduate student!

Michael Washburn
GCDB Doctoral Student
Upon completion of my bachelor's degree in biology from Wabash College, I dedicated a year to clinical research at the VA medical center in Indianapolis to figure out my future plans. After much thought, I joined the GCDB graduate program at Indiana University. Bloomington being a fantastic city as well as the excellent core facilities and faculty at the IU Department of Biology helped sway my decision from considering anywhere else for graduate school. Shortly after starting graduate school, I was intrigued by the field of RNA editing and joined the lab of Heather Hundley. In the Hundley lab, we are focused on understanding the mechanisms by which adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing events are regulated by utilizing the model systems of C. elegans and human cell culture.

Lesley Weaver, PhD
2014 Graduate, MCDB Program
I am from Marion, IN, and I graduated from the Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology Program (now the Genome, Cell, and Developmental Biology Graduate Program in 2014. I conducted my doctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Claire E. Walczak, where I studied how two kinesin proteins regulated the length of the mitotic spindle and how the localization of these proteins affected their activities. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University where I work in the laboratory of Dr. Daniela Drummond-Barbosa. I am studying how nuclear receptor signaling in adipocytes in response to stress (such as dietary changes) influence oogenesis in Drosophila. Nuclear receptor signaling and adipose function is disrupted in obese individuals, increasing their cancer risk. My goal is to define the link between NRs, stem cells, and metabolism to understand how disruptions in metabolism are associated with cancers.
The IU Department of Biology has assembled wonderful faculty, staff, and resources to nurture the development of young scientists. The research seminars and special interest group meetings, in addition to collaboration between disciplines within the department, provided a great training environment.

Hailing Zong
GCDB Ph.D. Student
I came to IU and joined Claire Walczak's lab after graduating from China Agricultural University. My current project is to understand how microtubule dynamics are spatially controlled in the spindle using Xenopus egg extracts as a model system. In this system we can actually assemble spindles in vitro in a test tube, which is really cool. I am also excited to expand my research to using mitotic and interphase cultured human cells. It is essential to understand the basic molecular mechanisms that control microtubule dynamics from a fundamental biological perspective with the goal to identify new drug targets that can be used for therapeutic development. I chose IU because of the dynamic research atmosphere and the state-of-the-art facilities available to support my research. As an added bonus, I have come to love the beautiful campus, a great gym, low living expenses, and a world-class music school with opera and ballet seasons all year round.

Bloomington is such a beautiful town with an atmosphere of cultural diversity in which to live and study. IU Department of Biology has excellent research faculty and facilities, especially the Bloomington Drosophila stock center and the Drosophila community, which makes this a wonderful place for scientists using the fruit fly as a research tool. I was intrigued by the field of microRNAs regulating animal development and joined the lab of Nicholas Sokol. By utilizing Drosophila as a model system, my research is focused on understanding the mechanism of microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins regulating the behaviors of stem cells.

Xulong Liang
GCDB Ph.D. Student
I earned my bachelor's degree at the University of Science of Technology of China. I matriculated in Indiana University Department of Biology's GCDB program. One of the reasons I chose IU is because of its natural environment. I was deeply impressed by its beautiful campus. Another reason I decided to come here is because I was interested in the research direction of several groups within the department. I am studying eye development in Andy Zelhof's lab, using Drosophila (fruit fly) as the model animal. The compound eye of the fruit fly consists of 800 small units named ommatidium, which has eight photoreceptor cells. In order to detect light, the photoreceptor cells must develop a specialized structure, rhabdomere. I investigate what genes are required for the development of photoreceptor cells, and in particular, the generation of rhabdomere.

I received my bachelor's degree from Ocean University of China, where I did my undergraduate research using Zebrafish to study animal embryonic development. Then I joined the GCDB graduate program at Indiana University to study developmental biology using fruit fly in Justin Kumar's lab. IU Bloomington is a great place for fruit fly geneticists because it has a strong community of fruit fly research. It also has the world's biggest collection of fruit fly lines at IU's Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center. I study the function of Drosophila Pax6 genes in promoting head tissue growth as well as maintaining head tissue fate in fruit fly development.

David Thoms
GCDB Ph.D. Student
I chose to start the GCDB program after meeting the wonderful, down-to-earth faculty and graduate students during my interview here. Although I entered the program with a wide variety of interests, I was confident I would find a lab whose research I was passionate about due to the high quality of work and the diverse areas of research the Biology Department has to offer. After my rotations, I decided to join the Sid Shaw's lab, whose focus is on studying how cells organize cortical microtubules to achieve the appropriate cell morphology. My projects deal with understanding the role of a microtubule-associated protein during the organization process and identifying novel genes required for microtubule patterning via a forward genetic screen.

With a growing population of elderly people in Canada, and continued advances in medical care, the technology and methods of the treatment of the frail elderly and the provision of appropriate end-of-life care is a major issue facing Canadas health and social care systems. Technologies and treatments have proven extremely beneficial in helping Canadians live longer with chronic disease. Yet there is mounting evidence that their unwanted use at the end of life is associated with worse ratings of quality of life for both patients and families. Many of these technologies and treatments are also expensive. There is a serious and immediate need to improve the care of seriously ill, frail elderly patients through a rigorous evaluation and ethical implementation of health care technologies, and to improve communication and decision-making about the use of these life-sustaining technologies.
The Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) is a national initiative to improve the care of seriously ill, frail older Canadians who have significant life-limiting illness and for whom there is a question of what technology or treatment to apply to improve their survival and quality of life or the quality of their death, including end-of-life care. CFN works to break down health silos by facilitating a collaborative and family-centric approach across disciplines and sectors to identify gaps in care and develop solutions to complex questions across all settings of care from acute and critical care to community care. Through research and knowledge sharing, and training the next generation to care for this vulnerable population, CFN aims to have an impact in four areas: improved care of the sick elderly; improved efficiency of the health care system; evidence-informed policy and practice; and reduced moral distress for patients, families, and caregivers.

Vendee Globe
Anyone following what is possibly the most gruelling, toughest race in the world? Single handed from France, round Antarctica and back to France, non-stop.
I'm amazed at the number of boats that have been involved in collisions with other boats (and a buoy) already. You'd think there would be plenty of space out there.
Re: Vendee Globe
Those guys (and girls) are totally nuts. They're also in a COMPLETELY different sailing class to the rest of us. They keep spinnakers up 24/7 through gale force winds to keep their BOAT SPEED >30knots and they do it single handed. The race itself is more like circumnavigating Antarctica than circumnavigating the globe.
This book, about the Vendee Globe, was an awesome read:
Re: Vendee Globe
Paul.. PCP is tracking the race regularly on the 'interesting Sailboats' thread - updates between the boat porn that's the normal feature of that thread.
Re: Vendee Globe
Well there you go, not the most obvious place for a discussion about a single handed race. I guess they are indeed interesting sailboats though, 30 knots in a 50ft boat all by yourself in the middle of the southern ocean. That counts as interesting. Or insane. One of those two.
Re: Vendee Globe
Me too
I'm following as well. I agree w/the southern or antartica circum comment but in saying such I also admit, the remainong sailors are pretty awesome. Thanks fot the interesting boat tip. I'll jump over and take looksey.

When it comes to climate change and clean energy, it looks like future generations are stepping up to protect future generations.
President Obama's decision two days later to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline after seven years of polarized debate, and the pushback it received, increases the likelihood that energy and the environment will play a prominent role in the upcoming election.
On June 24, 2009, at a hastily arranged press conference in the rotunda of the State House, Mark Sanford, the governor of South Carolina, and a rising star in the Republican Party, acknowledged that he had not spent the better part of a week "hiking on the Appalachian Trail."
A collection of brutally cynical thoughts intruded upon my encounters with this piece of Charleston's beauty. The deaths of nine people served as prerequisites to the moving displays of humanity that I witnessed. Yes, tragedy often produces unequivocal generosity of spirit.
South Carolina is the Pet Sematary of disgraced politicians: They come back to life and act weirder than ever.
As Mark Twain wrote, "truth is stranger than fiction." In fact, truth can also be much funnier and often more surreal. Such is the case in the new comedy Tail! Spin!
Having to deal with your former husband's cheating in such a public way must have been awful, Jenny. But to still be dragging him to court five years after you filed for divorce speaks more about you now than him, quite honestly.
Worst politician: There was no shortage of nominees in this category, as usual. Reince Priebus, Anthony Weiner, Trey Radel and crack-smoking mayor of Toronto Rob Ford all did their best to claim the title of Worst Politician, in fact.
Controversial tactics are par for the course in politics. Businesses, including online dating sites, do not often make political statements to attract customers. Exceptions to every rule, however, exist.
We need to have policies that help all students to succeed, and not just the few. Ayn Rand and her philosophical followers would have us be concerned only about future "strivers." Our better nature, most religions, and our country's core beliefs call for us to help all.
We will be better off as a country the more equal we are and the more opportunity we provide for the best and brightest to rise to the top, regardless of the economic station people are born into. Unfortunately, we've gotten away from this conviction over the last few decades.
Where there's a great risk, the level of excitement and thrill is heightened and there's an effort to push the envelope further and further. The greater the risk the greater the thrill.
What are we to make of these powerful men behaving badly? Are there lessons we can learn from them? I would suggest the answer is "yes."
If I were you, I wouldn't think too much about PRISM. You're more likely to get found out by your wife, your husband, your boss, your friends, or your community than you will from the NSA, the FBI, or anyone with Top Secret clearance -- with a caveat.
Is it worrisome that our federal government is paralyzed in partisan deadlock? Have we so little expectation of officeholders that we view politics as simply a sideshow; and if we vote at all, do we pull the lever based on nothing more than name recognition?
Eliot Spitzer as Comptroller will bury the past in a pile of papers, lose himself in reports on the city's economy, and he'll come out the other side of this public service cleansed and processed, stamped and sealed.

IAN HENSCHKE: At 13 Matt Cowdrey had a world record in swimming. Six years on, he has a swag of medals and successes to rival Michael Phelps. Leah MacLennan caught up with him in his last days of training for the Beijing Paralympics.
LEAH MACLENNAN: South Australian swimmer Matt Cowdrey is in his last days of training for the Beijing Olympics and his chances of success are good.
At the age of 15 he was one of the youngest swimmers to compete at the 2004 Paralympics at Athens where he went onto win seven medals including three gold.
COMMENTATOR: Matthew Cowdrey and he is looking at a world record as well. It is going to be very tight. He touches first!
LEAH MACLENNAN: As to what brought him to the Paralympics what Cowdery is typically understated.
MATT COWDREY: I wish I had something exciting to say, some big disaster but I was just born without my arm just below the elbow on the left hand side.
It really has not stopped me doing too much at all my whole life. I think the only thing I have not been able to do were the monkey bars in year five or something like that. But besides that, it definitely has not been a hindrance. I guess it has been something that has defined who I am and it has made me who I am today - the confidence and also the amazing opportunity that it has opened up for me.
PETER BISHOP, COACH: His underwater work is as good as any able bodied swimmer and the main trait he has that separates him from most of his competitors is he loves the race and he does not like to lose but he is good at looking after himself and getting the best out of himself.
LEAH MACLENNAN: Matt Cowdery's race started at an early age in his backyard pool. As a child his parents pushed him towards sports such as soccer and athletics where missing half an arm would have been less of a disadvantage but swimming has always been his passion.
MATT COWDREY: Swimming ended up being the sport that I was able to compete with and beat able bodied competitors the most at and that sort of competitive instinct I've always had and that sort of pushed me into swimming more than anything else. And I made a state team when I was young, an able bodied state team and it pretty much went from there. And Athens sort of came pretty soon after when I was 15.
LEAH MACLENNAN: On top of his Paralympic medals Matt Cowdrey won two gold medals at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. He holds a number of world records and at 15 he was awarded an Order of Australia. He can swim the 50m freestyle in 25 seconds, only 3 seconds more than the world record holder Eamon Sullivan
COMMENTATOR: Cowdery has broken the world record. The young Australian.
LEAH MACLENNAN: Cowdery's times are so good that in short course races in a 25m pool he competes against able bodied swimmers.
MATT COWDREY: I'm lucky I have got pretty good legs missing the arm. And my legs have become pretty dominant. And in a short course racing you are able to go 15 metres underwater every lap so if through 100m I can do 60m underwater it helps me keep up a bit so a bit of making sure I'm technically good on my skills helps me give up.
PETER BISHOP: Just feeling good. Just being long in the water.
LEAH MACLENNAN: Cowdery's coach Peter Bishop says his champion's training does not differ from any other athlete.
PETER BISHOP: We have realloy tried to make sure we do not change any part of his training because of his disability and very much been right from when he started he had to find ways, we had to find ways he could do things. If he could not do it from his disability we had to try to modify it to make sure he was still getting the same work out as the able bodied guys.
MATT COWDREY: We are in the water eight, nine sessions a week for two hours every session. A couple of gym sessions and also a recovery session and lately an RPM as well. But upwards of 26 hours a week.
LEAH MACLENNAN: Not only does what Cowdery put in long hours at the pool this year he started a double degree in law and media studies.
MATT COWDREY: I guess Year 12 was sometimes a challenge but it is such a big thing swimming and sport in general is balance so it helps almost performance in the pool to have something outside and divide your time evenly helps you the stay stable in your life as well.
LEAH MACLENNAN: Peter Bishop says Cowdery has a fighting spirit,. An example of that is how he tackled the world championships in South Africa two years ago. In the lead up Cowdery battled a serious bout of the flu but went onto win five gold medals, two silver and a bronze and break three world records.
PETER BISHOP: He had lost a lot weight and he was not in the condition he needed to be in but he thrives on the opportunity to be challenged by that situation. He just found something and that was the sign of a real champion.
LEAH MACLENNAN: On the eve of his departure his local team at the Norwood Swimming Centre gave him a farewell to remember. These people have followed his swimming career for years and will closely follow his progress in Beijing.
Matt Cowdery says he is more prepared than ever for the Beijing Games but more money is being put into for a Olympic teams around the world and it is becoming increasingly competitive. He is certainly swimming a lot faster than he was in Athens and our goal is to do better than in Athens. But the thing we don't know what the rest of the world is doing. And we can't really control that.
MATT COWDREY: I try to keep things simple. So my goal going into Beijing is just to swim as fast as I ever have before and try and swim PBs. There is nothing else I and do or control except for my lane and what I do inside it. So it is too hard... It really is way too hard to put any sort of medal estimate on what you are doing because I really cannot control that. As long as I'm there swimming fast and PBs that is all can I do and hope for.
IAN HENSCHKE: And thank you to Paul Chadwick were the story. You can catch all the action from the Paralympics on ABC2. You can contact us at our web site.
We will leave you with a primary school wind ensemble that won gold at the South Australian bands festival. Have a great weekend. Goodnight.

Save Water, Money During Fix A Leak Week
What's the latest?
The San Diego County Water Authority and its member agencies have partnered with the local chapter of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association to help residents and businesses save water and money during national Fix a Leak Week, March 14-20, 2016.
Participating contractors will offer a 10 percent discount up to $100 during Fix a Leak Week on all products and services related to fixing leaks at homes and businesses in the San Diego region. No application is necessary; just mention the Water Authority partnership when scheduling an appointment. The PHCC has a list of participating contractors here.
Regional Fix A Leak Week activities are part of a national campaign to help Americans reduce household leaks that waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water each year, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which sponsors the annual anti-leak campaign. It says leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water in an average home every year, the amount of water it takes to wash 270 loads of laundry.
People looking to finding opportunities to improve their water-use efficiency can take advantage of the free WaterSmart Checkup program offered by the Water Authority and its member agencies. Check-ups include site-specific indoor and outdoor water-efficiency recommendations by certified irrigation professionals for owners and managers of commercial, multi-family, industrial, public or single-family properties. Homeowners and property managers can use the no-obligation assessment to decide what changes to make. The WaterSmart Checkup program can be found here.
WaterSmartSD.org is another resource that provides links to water conservation tools, classes and more such as a home water-use calculator, the "eGuide to a WaterSmart Lifestyle," classes to empower homeowners to be water efficient by upgrading their landscapes, and incentives on a range of water-saving measures, from rain barrels to low-water-use devices and appliances.
Eliminating water waste – from broken sprinklers to leaky toilets – is an important part of regional water conservation efforts.
One easy way to identify leakage is to check a home's water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used at the property. If the meter doesn't read exactly the same, there's probably a leak. Water meters also typically have a small, red "leak detector" that spins when water is being used. It is especially useful for quickly detecting small indoor leaks once all water sources are turned off, though it won't detect some leaks in irrigation systems.
Click here for helpful tips on how to checking your water meter, closing your shut-off valve and finding leaks.
Another way to help reduce outdoor leaks during Fix a Leak week is by reporting leaks using the Water Authority's "When in Drought, Report Waste" mobile app. The app allows you to submit a detailed description of the issue, and upload a photo or video. Your report will then be submitted to the water agency that serves the area where the leak is located.
Common types of leaks found inside homes include dripping faucets and showerheads, and worn toilet flappers. Many leaks are easily detectable and correctable.Fixture replacement parts often pay for themselves quickly and can be installed by do-it-yourselfers.
For problems that can only be addressed with a new appliance or device, look for low-water-use models with the EPA's WaterSense label. They are independently certified to use 20 percent less water and perform as well as or better than standard models. The EPA also recommends installing WaterSense-labeled faucet aerators to save water without a noticeable difference in flow.
Outdoor leaks usually are associated with irrigation systems, which should be checked at least every spring when outdoor water use starts to increase. The EPA estimates that an irrigation system with a leak 1/32 of an inch in diameter (about the thickness of a dime) can waste about 6,300 gallons of water per month.
While outdoor water leaks can be difficult to isolate, there are several clues to problems. Look for broken sprinkler heads, along with dripping outdoor faucets and hose bibs, and the presence of mold or algae near irrigation fixtures. Also look for continually damp spots in the yard, particularly along irrigation lines and near valves; they could signal underground leaks. Certified irrigation professionals also can help detect and resolve leaks. Also, don't forget to take advantage of the Fix a Leak Week discount!

Free Fix a Leak Week Events & Activities
The Water Authority will celebrate Fix a Leak Week by giving away toilet leak detection tablets at at the World Water Day Festival hosted by the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation on March 12. For more information, go to lagoon.aguahedionda.org.
Water Authority member agencies also are participating in related events and promotions.
Below is a list of related events that the Water Authority's member agencies are hosting or participating in:
The Sweetwater Authority is offering rebates to its customers of up to $75 for leak repairs made throughout March 2016. For details, visit www.sweetwater.org/fixaleak.
On March 19 at the San Diego County Garden Friendly Plant Fair at The Home Depot located at 255 Marketplace Ave., the City of San Diego will provide toilet leak detection tablets and information on "How to Read Your Water Meter and How to Detect Leaks."
Partial funding for the Fix a Leak Week campaign was provided by a Proposition 50 grant from the California Department of Water Resources.

The committee - which was created specifically to protect civilians - is made up of representatives of the United States, France, Syria, Israel and Lebanon, and has met at least a dozen times to adjudicate on the responsibility for truce violations over the past 11 months. While choosing its words judiciously, it has several times blamed Israel for the wounding and killing of civilians since April 1996, including the death of a young Lebanese mother.
Yesterday, however, no Syrian-Lebanese request was made to hold a meeting into the weekend Israeli shelling of the village of Beit Leif, and the Lebanese were privately informed that Syria does not wish to sit at the table with Israeli officers to discuss the matter, at least for the present.
In the aftermath of last Spring's bombardment - which culminated in the slaughter by Israeli artillerymen of more than 100 Lebanese civilians who had sought protection in the UN's Fijian battalion headquarters at Qana - all sides praised the setting up of the monitoring committee as a guarantee of safeguarding civilians who live close to the area which the Israeli army occupies in southern Lebanon.
The terms of the truce were not to Israel's satisfaction. It allowed the Hizbollah and the Israelis to continue their war inside Lebanon - provided they did not fire from or at civilian districts between the Mediterranean and the Syrian border. UN troops based in the south of Lebanon - whose observation posts allow clear sight over the terrain - provided the committee with their own record of events and helped the five powers to decide who was to blame for violations.
Although it was an imperfect institution, the monitoring group none the less provided a check on the war in southern Lebanon which has led to two Israeli invasions and two mass Israeli bombardments over the past 19 years.
The danger now is that without the committee, both the Israelis and the Hizbollah will see fit to take their own revenge for alleged truce violations and even repeat the events of last year, when a booby trap bomb which killed a Lebanese boy provoked the Hizbollah into firing rockets into Israel - which in turn prompted the Israeli bombardment and the massacre at Qana.
The Hizbollah and the Israelis have continued their war against each other ever since; only two days ago, a Sagar anti-tank rocket fired by the Hizbollah killed one of Israel's proxy Lebanese militiamen and wounded four others in an attack on an M-113 troop transporter near the Lebanese town of Marjayoun. Israeli artillery responded by firing around the village of Majdel Zoun.
Thus has the steadily worsening crisis in the Middle East and the new Jewish settlement on occupied land made another potential war-front far more dangerous.

Variation and Change in Spanish by Ralph J. Penny
Book DescriptionThis book applies recent theoretical insights to trace the development of Castilian and Latin American Spanish from the Middle Ages onwards, through processes of repeated dialect mixing both within the Iberian Peninsula and in the New World. The author contends that it was this frequent mixing which caused Castilian to evolve more rapidly than other varieties of Hispano-Romance, and which rendered Spanish particularly subject to levelling of its linguistic irregularities and to simplification of its structures. These two processes continued as the language extended into and across the Americas. These processes are viewed in the context of the Hispano-Romance dialect continuum, which includes Galician, Portuguese and Catalan, as well as New World varieties. The book emphasises the subtlety and seamlessness of language variation, both geographical and social, and the impossibility of defining strict boundaries between varieties. Its conclusions will be relevant both to Hispanists and to historical sociolinguists more generally.
