The Shale Gas Revolution
As shale gas exploration and extraction ramps up in many parts of the world, its contribution to global climate change and effect on international trade are becoming increasingly complicated and indeterminate. Undoubtedly, shale gas is transforming energy prices, industrial competitiveness, and geopolitics in a number of countries. Further investigation and safeguards are therefore needed to ensure that the shale gas "revolution" fosters, rather than hinders, sustainable development.
This paper, authored by Thomas L. Brewer, a senior fellow of ICTSD, sheds light on these complex issues and calls on governments, industry and international agencies to evaluate the full effects of shale gas on the environment and climate change to determine how it can best fit into a sustainable development agenda.
South Africa, pharmaceutical industry face off on patent reform
Abstract: South Africa's efforts to reform its intellectual property (IP) regime in order to improve access to medicines has sparked a firestorm lately, with major pharmaceutical companies openly at odds with civil society and developing countries.
South Africa's efforts to reform its intellectual property (IP) regime in order to improve access to medicines sparked a firestorm in January 2014, with major pharmaceutical companies openly at odds with civil society and developing countries
The draft IP policy was published in September 2013, with the country currently taking steps toward its eventual implementation. The changes would establish a system of substantive patent examination, and would also strengthen the existing criteria for "patentability." These revisions, proponents say, would make it easier for generic drugs to compete in a market that has long been dominated by the research-based pharmaceutical industry.
"The current system allows pharmaceutical companies to obtain multiple patents on the same drug, even for inventions that do not fall under the country's definition of innovation," various civil society organisations have said in advocating for the reform.
The existing regime, they added, thus allows these companies to extend their monopolies and charge inflated prices for medicines, while making it difficult for generic manufacturers to compete.
However, the leak soon thereafter of a memo aimed at helping major drug companies undermine the proposed change has escalated the row, with South African Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi openly comparing the industry campaign to "genocide."
Civil society, developing countries weigh in
Several developing countries, along with a coalition of civil society groups, have spoken up in support of South Africa, during a meeting of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Executive Board end of January, 2014.
The industry response is "unacceptable in a country facing one of the world's most acute HIV and [tuberculosis] epidemics," Médecins Sans Frontières said at the meeting, noting that medicine prices in South Africa are up to 35 times higher than in countries where generics have a greater market share.
Some civil society organisations have formally called on the WHO Executive Board to adopt a resolution expressing solidarity with the African country.
WHO Director -General Margaret Chan has similarly expressed her concern, saying that "no government should be intimidated by interested parties for doing the right thing in public health."
Public health and access to medicine is believed to have been greatly affected by the international agreement on TRIPS instituted at the Uruguay Round in 1994.
The WTOs main agreement on IP, which offers intellectual property protection to drug discoveries and innovations, has been a source of contention between pharmaceuticals and Non-governmentals in the public health circles.

WIPO Genetic Resources Talks Advance, Though Differences Linger
Delegates meeting at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) last week made some limited progress in discussions on genetic resources and intellectual property rights, producing a new streamlined draft text to forward to the organisation's General Assembly in September.
However, the new document still contains many brackets on a range of important subjects.
These discussions are held under WIPO's Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore (IGC), which aims to develop an international legal instrument(s) that would protect genetic resources, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions.
Problematic disclosure
One of the provisions that sparked the most debate last week was on the mandatory disclosure of the origin of genetic material used by patent applicants, or on which they seek patent claims.
While developing countries say that the requirement is essential for preventing biopiracy, some developed countries and industry groups argue that it could disincentivise innovation and be burdensome on patent offices and applicants.
According to the draft text, which still contains brackets in this area, each party shall require applicants to disclose the country of origin and source of the genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge. However, new language has also been introduced to the effect that patent offices must provide sufficient effective guidance to applicants on how to meet disclosure requirements.
The range of post-grant sanctions for non-compliance with the disclosure requirement and whether these include patent revocation remains unresolved.
The IGC also identified "preventing misappropriation of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge" as the main policy objective of the proposed international instrument. For many years, developed countries had been reluctant to accept this concept as the key goal behind the WIPO discussions.
The widely-deliberated definition currently includes a US proposal that outlines what would not qualify as misappropriation - namely, any genetic resources and their associated traditional knowledge that have been attained lawfully. Some examples, they say, could include reading publications, reverse engineering, and inadvertent disclosure.
Another IGC meeting is scheduled for July, in the hopes of bridging the remaining differences before the General Assembly.

If you are the friend or family member in the group who is considered the chef or hostess, the pressure is on when people stop by for a visit. You want to offer a snack but if you haven't planned for it, supplies might be limited.
Or maybe you're this person. You sit down to your favorite television show and suddenly have the desire to snack on something but there's nothing in the cupboard.
Sometimes you need a quick appetizer for unexpected guests or a sudden case of the munchies.
In those cases a recipe that can be made with stuff you already have in the refrigerator or pantry is a perfect solution.
One of my favorite appetizers when I go out to eat is fried pickles. They are also super easy to make at home.
If you are a fan of the pickle, there is usually a jar of dill pickles in the fridge. Start with that key ingredient. The other ingredients required for this recipe are staples too. Many cooks have flour, pepper, eggs, milk and oil already on hand. Dredge the pickles and fry them up and you've got a yummy appetizer in minutes.
If you're a bona fide southerner you know pretty much everything tastes better fried, including pickles.
To dress up the recipe, you can always add your favorite seasoning to the flour or experiment with things to dip the pickle chips in after they are fried.
Cheesy Biscuit Bombs are similar in that they are made from things you might already have on hand but the baking can get a little tricky if you don't pay attention.
The recipe suggests flaky layered biscuits but probably can be made with any biscuit. Then use your favorite cheese and seasoning. If you stick with mozzarella, Parmesan and Italian seasonings on top work great. If you switch to another cheese, you might want to use seasonings that compliment the chosen cheese.
It's not a recipe you can pop in the oven and forget though. For example, you can't do as I did and stick them in the oven and then go blow dry your hair. The reason is, after the biscuit-rolled cheese gets to a certain temperature the cheese can come oozing out of the dough. This is something I did not notice until I took them out of the oven but should have been prepared for because there was fair warning in the recipe.
There was still enough cheese left caked inside the biscuit but they would have been a better gooey cheesy treat if the cheese had actually stayed inside the dough.
Both recipes took less than 30 minutes to prepare, which is another bonus to a hurried snack.

Fried Pickles
In a shallow bowl, combine flour and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove moisture. Coat pickles with flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat again with flour.
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees. Fry pickles, about 10 at a time, for three minutes or until golden brown, turning once.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve warm with ranch dressing if desired.
Source: Southern Gal's Tips and Tricks
Cheesy Biscuit Bombs
Pop open the biscuits and slightly flatten each one, preparing them for their cheesy ammo.
Cube the mozzarella into approximately 2-inch chunks.
Load those bombs with two or three cheese chunks and seal them up very well. Place them seam-side down on a baking pan.
Brush with some olive oil.
And a sprinkling of Parmesan and seasoning.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until they're golden and firm. Expect some of that cheesy ammo to try to make an escape. Just let them cool a little bit and the cheese will behave again.

We continue the Mountain West football round-up with a look around the West Division, in which Nevada is gearing up to take on Boise State. Several teams are on byes, but Fresno and UNLV will be among the shootout schools in action.
Please note that San Diego State is on a bye this week, so it's excluded. For Fresno State, here's a link to Robert Kuwada's latest story.
For the Mountain Division notes, click here.
The Rainbow Warriors enter their second bye week with the No. 1 quarterback job still unsettled. Sean Schroeder was at the controls for two dramatic, albeit unsuccessful, finishes the past three games. He directed UH to five unanswered touchdown drives against Fresno State on Sept. 28. This past Saturday, Schroeder's 44-yard touchdown pass to Chris Gant put UH ahead, 37-36. UNLV then drove for the winning field goal, dooming the winless Warriors to their sixth loss this season.
Taylor Graham, who was the starter the first three games, was declared physically fit for the UNLV game. Although he split reps in warm-ups, he did not play. Ikaika Woolsey, who has the strongest arm among the UH quarterbacks, has been used mostly as a read-option scrambler. He had a 36-yard rush on a quarterback draw against UNLV.
Head coach Norm Chow said Graham, Woolsey and Jeremy Higgins will play in Friday morning's situational scrimmage. Chow said it should not be interpreted that Schroeder is the No. 1 quarterback for UH's next game, against Colorado State on Oct. 26. Chow said Schroeder has played extensively the past three weeks and he wants to give the other quarterbacks more reps. As always, the quarterback is not allowed to be hit during the scrimmage.
Running back Joey Iosefa, who underwent foot surgery last month, and tight end Jordan Pu'u-Robinson, who is recovering from an MCL injury, are expected to be ready for the CSU game. Freshman wide receivers Keith Kirkwood and Marcus Kemp also should be available. Kirkwood missed the UNLV trip because of concussion-like symptoms. Kemp suffered a foot injury from a mo-ped accident.
Next: Oct. 26 vs. Colorado State
Notable: The Rainbow Warriors rejected an offer a few weeks ago to play Colorado this Saturday in Boulder, Colo. The Buffaloes were seeking a game to replace the one that was canceled Sept. 14 because of the Colorado floods. Missed school time was cited as one of the reasons for turning down the offer. Meanwhile, UH announced last week that it agreed to play Ohio State in the Horseshoe on Sept. 12, 2015. Two weeks after that, the Warriors will play Wisconsin in Madison.

Junior quarterback Cody Fajardo is a three-year starter, and the Wolf Pack and Boise State have met every year since 2001, alternating sites each year. So, it stands to reason that Fajardo has experience with the Broncos' famed blue turf.
But he doesn't.
Fajardo had an injured left (non-throwing) shoulder in 2011 and did not play, although he was suited up and watched as senior quarterback Tyler Lantrip and the Wolf Pack offense struggle mightily in a 30-10 loss - the Wolf Pack avoiding the shutout by putting up 10 points in the fourth quarter.
Then-coach Chris Ault questioned whether Fajardo had worked hard enough to get back on the field the week ahead of the Boise State game, and last season offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich said on a radio show that Fajardo needed to get tougher.
Nobody is questioning his toughness now. He played with a torn thumbnail and a knee sprain in the New Mexico Bowl last season, and this season he played after spraining his knee in the first half against UC Davis on Sept. 7.
Fajardo ended up missing 2½ games because of the sprain, and he said last week ahead of the bye that he was 100 percent healthy again and looking forward to getting onto the blue turf with a football in his hands.
"I think it was a great time for this bye so we can prepare for one of the biggest conference games of this season, obviously, playing Boise at Boise," Fajardo said on Oct. 8, four days after Nevada lost at San Diego State 51-44 in overtime. "And this is going to be the first time I've played on the blue turf, so I'm real excited about that. ... As an offense, as a defense, the whole team, we just need to get better this week and then focus on Boise."
The Wolf Pack will be looking to get its ground game going. Nevada is averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, which has led in part to Fajardo throwing 54 and 51 passes, respectively, in the last two games. He had never thrown more than 40 passes in a game prior.
The return of guard Connor Talbott, who missed nearly four full games with an ankle sprain and played against San Diego State, should help the team's run production.
Next game: at Boise State, 6 p.m. MT Saturday (CBS Sports Network)
Notable: The Wolf Pack have lost starting tight end Kolby Arendse (foot) and backup quarterback Devin Combs (knee) for the season, but aside from those two should have every other two-deep player available for the Boise State game. ... Boise State has won 12 of the last 13 meetings between the schools, dating back to 1999. ... The Wolf Pack did not practice Friday through Sunday as the coaches spent time recruiting.

San Jose State
The Spartans hit the midway point of the season feeling much better than they did two weeks ago.
After dropping three straight in blowout fashion, SJSU earned back-to-back Mountain West road wins to climb back to .500 overall at 3-3 and move to 2-1 in conference play.
"Momentum's a nice thing to have," coach Ron Caragher said. "We're still a football team that's growing and developing. You can deal with lessons the hard way where you have a tough loss ... or you can come off a win and still learn the lesson. I think it helps this football team gain some confidence having that happen, being down two weeks in a row and roaring back. You get that feeling, that belief that you can come back."
After three straight games with two interceptions, quarterback David Fales had his best outing of the year in the 34-27 win over Colorado State. He completed a season-best 80 percent of his passes (28 of 35) for 431 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Fales was named the Mountain West's Offensive Player of the Week and now leads the conference with 1,943 passing yards. Fresno State's Derek Carr has more yards per game, but has played one fewer contest.
The team's improvements haven't surprised Fales, who guided the Spartans to an 11-2 season and No. 21 national ranking last year.
"This is how we play," Fales said. "It's not new to the seniors. This is how it's done. That's what we're trying to express to the freshmen. This is how we play. This isn't a shocker. This is how we do it. It's about sticking together no matter what happens."
Next game: Oct. 26 vs. Wyoming
Notable: Freshman running back Thomas Tucker, who was carted off the field against Colorado State, was diagnosed with a concussion. He was released from a Loveland, Colo., hospital in time to accompany the team home on Saturday night. It's unknown how long he'll be out. ... Fales was honored as an honorable mention quarterback performer of the week by College Football Performance Awards. Freshman running back Jarrod Lawson, who had 98 yards rushing, 104 yards receiving and two touchdowns, was an all-purpose honorable mention performer of the week.

UNLV is having its best offensive season in more than 30 years, averaging 33.3 points and 447.2 yards per game with its new hurry-up spread offense, significant jumps from last season's 22.0 and 367.9 averages and a major reason for its four-game winning streak.
The Rebels (4-2, 2-0 MW) haven't averaged that many points since finishing with a school-record 34.9 in 1980. UNLV's yardage average is its highest since the school record 491.3 in 1981.
In Saturday's 39-37 victory over Hawaii, the Rebels picked up a school-record 38 first downs and ran a Mountain West best-ever 113 plays.
But UNLV's offense will be severely tested to keep pace with a Fresno State team (5-0, 2-0) that is even stronger on that side of the ball.
Rebels coach Bobby Hauck hopes for a few defensive stops, but acknowledged the task in front of his team.
"We've got to be honest with ourselves," Hauck said. "Fresno's going to score some points. They do on everybody, and to a degree, if we want to have any chance of winning the game, then we're going to have to keep up.
"We're going to have to play darn near perfect to go in there and beat them."
Fresno State averages 47.4 points and 538 yards per game. Quarterback Derek Carr, the reigning Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, averages 372.8 yards passing and he has thrown 19 touchdown passes to just four interceptions.
Carr "is as good a player as we'll see at that position this year," Hauck said. "We've got our hands full with these guys."
Next game: at Fresno State, 8 p.m. MT (MW Digital Network)
Notable: Quarterback Caleb Herring's streak of 183 passes without an interception was a UNLV record and tied the Mountain West mark by Wyoming's Brett Smith in 2012 and 2013. Herring's run of perfection ended on the final play of the first half against Hawaii. ... UNLV has won four consecutive games for the first time since 2000, and it's the longest regular-season streak since the Rebels won seven in a row in 1984. ... Nolan Kohorst was named the Mountain West special teams player of the week, and he was one of three kickers nationally to receive the Lou Groza Award Star of the Week.

The Masters may be the most iconic tournament in the sport of golf and is heralded as the premier major event on the PGA Tour. Professional and amateur golfers around the world dream of playing the turns and breaks of Augusta National Golf Club. History is written each April.
The 2014 Masters will undoubtedly write itself in the history books. But before the tournament even starts, Tennessee golf history will be made.
Sophomore golfer, Oliver Goss, and former Tennessee golfer Garrick Porteous will both be playing in The Masters - one of the few times, if not the first, that two amateurs from the same university will play in the tournament.
They both found their way to Augusta, Ga. in a similar way. Goss was the runner-up in the U.S. Amateur tournament, losing on the final day to Matt Fitzpatrick. Porteous prevailed at the British Amateur to secure his automatic placing at The Masters.
Goss actually wasn't guaranteed a spot. The 19-year-old had to wait for the official invitation before he could exhale.
"Once I got that official letter it was such a relief and I was just too excited," Goss said.
It may be the biggest week of the youngster's life. He'll spend all week in Augusta, practicing on Monday and Tuesday before the tournament begins Thursday.
His Tuesday practice round will be special though. Goss, who is from Perth, Australia, will play his second practice round with his idol, Adam Scott. Scott is the reigning Masters champion and the No. 2 ranked player in the world according to the Official World Golf Rankings.
Goss has played with Scott before but it's been a while since the two have played together.
"I got to play with Adam at the Australian Masters two years ago and now I'm playing with him at the Masters," Goss said. "It's going to be great to see him on a completely different stage, the professional stage. It's going to be great to pick his brain on the course."
"It's going to be good to see him again and just talk about things that have occurred over the last two years."
To add on to his week, Goss will turn 20 on Saturday. If he can make the cut after the first two rounds, he could be playing on his birthday.
Goss said that the biggest challenge for him will be playing in front of vastly larger crowds than he has in the past. He'll have the practice rounds to try and get used to the added attention and learn the courses widely recognized intricacies.
"I obviously do want to play really well but at the same time I think if I try and force the issue I'm going to put too much pressure on myself and blow up before I even go there," he said. "If I say to myself, 'I want to get a top 10. I want to do this. I want to do that' - putting numbers in my head is just not a good deal for me. I'm just going to go down there, have as much fun as I can and learn from the whole experience and take it to the future."
Porteous is fresh off a victor over Fitzpatrick in the Georgia Cup, the annual match play competition between the British and U.S. Amateur winners.
The 24-year-old from Morpeth, England played for the Vols from 2008-2012. He had seven Top 10 finishes and 16 Top 25 finishes while in Knoxville. Porteous is ranked the No. 8 amateur golfer in the world.
Goss has compiled an impressive record in his young career at Tennessee. He has nine Top 10 finishes and 13 Top 25 finishes as a sophomore. The most recent World Amateur Golf Rankings place him as the No. 15 amateur in the world.
To play in The Masters is a great honor for both men. Goss knows he's not just playing for himself.
"I'm representing my country but I'm also representing my university which is obviously a big deal to me. I'm representing Golf Australia which is our golfing body and I've got this orange shirt I'm planning on wearing while I'm down there," Goss said.
The Masters will be played April 10-13.

The Center of International Studies at University of St. Thomas hosted CARE's first regional training on campus in Ahern Room, Crooker Center, 3909 Graustark St., from Friday to Sunday, Oct. 18-20.
CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. It places special focus on working alongside women in economically disadvantaged communities. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters and helps people rebuild their lives.
Philippe Nassif '07, Central Regional Advocacy Coordinator at CARE, along with Terence O'Neill, director of Mayor Annise Parker's Office of International Communities, will lead the training.
"The objective of the workshop is to train a new group of CARE advocates to work within their community and educate constituents on the importance of international aid," Nassif said. "We also will train them to work with members of Congress on the importance of supporting U.S. efforts to eradicate poverty from the world by empowering women and girls.
"We will speak on political topics such as CARE's legislative agenda, grasstops vs. grassroots organizing, how to write and pitch an op-ed and organizing constituencies in your community," Nassif said.
Nassif chose UST as the location for the training because St. Thomas has a strong program in international studies, and students and faculty understand the importance of eradicating global poverty.
Nassif served as a field organizer in Florida for the Obama for America Campaign during the 2012 presidential election cycle. He earned a bachelor's degree in international studies from UST and Master of Arts in international conflict resolution from St. Mary's University.

Leadership Change at Darex Continues with Family Tradition
Darex is happy to announce that Matthew Bernard will become the 4th generation family member to lead the business.
Hank, Matthew, Richard and Dave Bernard
For 40 years, Darex has been a family-owned business. Continuing with that honored tradition, the company is happy to announce that Matthew Bernard will become the 4th generation family member to lead the business. For the past 15 years, Hank O'Dougherty worked as president of Darex.
Now, Hank is passing the leadership torch to Matthew thanks to time spent by Hank training and mentoring this young man as he grew into larger roles within the company.
Matthew's first job at the company was coming in after school to sweep the floor and take out the trash. Since that time, he has worked in production, new product development, sales, and most recently as the director of marketing. He has spent many hours working with customers to better understand their sharpening needs and has played a key role in the development of new product offerings within the company.
Matthew takes on the role of president with significant support. Hank will join Dave and Dick Bernard in their roles of advisors and mentors. This senior management team will remain in their respective roles and help drive Darex into the future.
It's an exciting time at the company with some recent product launches taking off, and some innovative, new products on the horizon.
The company extends its thanks to Hank for his wonderful leadership, and offers its congratulations and best wishes to Matthew on his new position.

Carville also out at CNN; Erickson moving to Fox?
posted at 11:43 am on January 29, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
CNN is making a number of moves this week regarding on-air talent. Both James Carville and Mary Matalin are out, mainly because of their lack of access to Washington DC:
CNN contributors and political power couple James Carville and Mary Matalin are leaving the network, Carville told POLITICO today.
The decision was CNN's, Carville told POLITICO: "I was told that they wanted the contributors to be more available — essentially, closer to Washington," he said. "I'm not always available, I don't live there."
Carville and Matalin, his wife, live in New Orleans, La.
Our friend Erick Erickson has switched from CNN to Fox, too:
CNN contributor Erick Erickson, a prominent Georgia blogger and conservative radio talker, is reportedly splitting with the network for redder pastures at Fox News.
Politico says it has confirmed that move (see above link). In a way, that's too bad. While Fox is probably a better fit for Erick, it was good to have his voice on CNN.

Chagrin Falls schools evacuated
(Chagrin Falls) - A student's threat has lead to Chagrin Falls high school and middle school being evacuated.
Police Chief Jim Brosius tells Channel 3 News, a student walked into school with a backpack and told administrators he had explosives inside.
The two schools are adjoined on the East Washington Street campus.
Officers have the 18-year-old student in custody.
The district has canceled all the rest of the events for Friday. That includes the opening night performance tonight of the Chagrin Academy production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
CFHS Superintendent Robert Hunt released this statement:
Attention Chagrin Falls Parents: At 10 a.m. this morning it was reported to me that a bomb threat had been made on the 7-12 campus. At that time the decision was made to evacuate all students and staff to Harris Stadium for precautionary reasons.
Currently, all students are enjoying the spring fest activities already scheduled in the stadium. A picnic lunch for high school students had already been planned and now will include our middle school students. This will be served at the stadium.
Police are presently investigating threats that have been made to the school. Obviously, the safety and security of our students is our first priority. At this time, we ask that you do not come to the 7-12 campus to allow our safety forces to conduct their work. We will continue to update parents periodically throughout the day via this phone system and our web site.

...Romans 8:14>we all can be a jesus... sulfur based microscopic parasites live in mud critters>cattle,pigs,catfish,founder,etc. and is the hell referred to by "jesus" because cooking doesn't kill them(worms)..."their worm does not die and the flame is not quenched" is said of people in hell...and today's grocery store meat is also packed full of chemicals...only ocean fish doesn't have chemicals added and the jesus symbol is the fish with scales,but not bottom dwelling fish in the die-t

PS as "gods" code book gave us the diet and manna ,we must supply the other 3 keys of an open mind ,an open heart and positive thinking/attitude to produce the 5 pointed star of venus the morning star to rise in our hearts..after maintaining that, the 6 pointed star of 3 points above and 3 points below will be given making us a co-creator in our temple and kingdom...(((here's an recent edit ,the longer i have used the keys i remembered we are all co-creators with the same shared spirit and our spirit existed before the creation making us co-creators instead of gods,goddesses,saviors or prophets,

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Transcending Mutual Deterrence in the U.S.-Russian Relationship
Russia and the United States ceased being mortal enemies with the end of Cold War. Yet a relationship based on the constant threat of mutual nuclear annihilation persists. Researchers from Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Russia's Institute for U.S. and Canadian Studies teamed up in 2012 to write a report which explores whether their two countries can transcend the state of mutual deterrence. Even as this report was being written and edited, U.S.-Russian relations have warmed and chilled. The report, which will be presented at this seminar, assesses the central and enduring interests of the United States and Russia, the extent to which they coincide or conflict, and discerns whether or not in light of these interests mutual deterrence should remain a fundamental feature of the relationship.

I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same problem as I have! About 8 months ago I bought a Fuji Finepix T200 camera and pretty soon after I started to use it, the lens would occasionally jam shut and I would see a message on the screen, that said "TURN OFF THE CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN" but in the last three or four weeks, this has been happening a lot and very often, no matter how often I turn it on and off, remove and replace the battery, nothing happens, so if I go out now to take pics, I need to take my old Fuji camera that still works great, but looks old as it's a chunkier camera.
The Finepix T200 is quite slim in appearance, so perhaps with a zoom lens, the space it needs to retract into is not very deep. I googled a bit and saw various similar problems with several makes of compact digitals so perhaps the manufacturers are trying to cram too much into too small a space. Several times I have seen people suggest tapping the camera/lens onto a table a couple of times, but I don't want to damage it.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone else has encountered a similar problem and what did they do about it. Presumably because my camera is well under a year old, I may be able to return it to the online store I bought it from, for a refund or replacement.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
In 2010, they issued their most ambitious project to date with Ya-Ka-May, a wholesale New Orleans recording featuring guest appearances by everyone from Irma Thomas and Big Chief Bo Dollis to the Rebirth Brass Band and Walter "Wolfman" Washington. Galactic decided to explore the various connections between New Orleans' annual Mardi Gras and the nearly nationwide Carnivale of Brazil. Carnivale Electricos did exactly that. Enlisting help from Cyril and Ivan Neville, rappers Mystikal and Mannie Fresh, Mardi Gras Indian Big Chief Juan Pardo, the KIPP Renaissance High School Marching Band, and Al "Carnival Time" Johnson. Galactic stretched itself toward Brazil's native samba by covering Carlinhos Brown's "Malagenha." They composed two tunes that bridged the continents: "Guero Bounce," fusing NOLA bounce and Brazilian rhythms, and "Julou," titled for the band's own outsider Mardis Gras parade. They also include the traditional Carnivale number "O Côco da Galinha" with the help of samba poet Moyseis Marques on vocals. Carnivale Electricos was issued on Mardis Gras Day in 2012; it was their last recording for Anti.
Over the next couple of years, the band toured and its members either pursued solo projects or collaborated, both in the studio or on-stage, with other musicians In May of 2015, Galactic announced a label deal with Provogue and a new album entitled Into the Deep. Produced by Ellman and Mercurio, the set featured guest appearances by a range of vocalists including Macy Gray, Mavis Staples, and Maggie Koerner. "Right On," with soul singer Charm Taylor, and the title cut featuring Gray, were both pre-released in June; the album followed in late July. ~ Jason Ankeny & Thom Jurek

Academic Integrity Report Form (download)
Student Appeal Form (download)
Academic Integrity Pledge
We, the students of Roger Williams University, commit ourselves to academic integrity. We promise to pursue the highest ideals of academic life, to challenge ourselves with the most rigorous standards, to be honest in any academic endeavor, to conduct ourselves responsibly and honorably, and to assist one another as we live and work together in mutual support.
Roger Williams University exists to foster the mature pursuit of learning, which is premised upon the exercise of mutual trust and honest practice when representing data, findings and the sources of ideas used in an academic exercise. The University expects students to observe these principles of academic integrity that ensure the excellence of their education and the value of their diploma.
Examples of breaches of academic integrity include but are not limited to:
Cheating: Using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information or citation in any academic exercise. Examples include, but are not limited to
Fabrication: Unauthorized falsifications or invention of any information or citation in any academic exercise. Examples include, but are not limited to
Plagiarism: Plagiarism is best defined as the incorporation of words and ideas of another person in an attempt to claim that person's work as one's own. Thus, plagiarism fails to engage in civil, scholarly discourse. It is sometimes a form of intellectual theft and is always a form of intellectual fraud.
In its worst form, plagiarism may consist of directly copying large or small portions of either printed or online works, or, as frequently happens in schools, written papers of another student, without properly crediting the source(s) from which they came. There are, however, more subtle forms of plagiarism as well. Paraphrasing, which is the process of using alternative expressions to communicate the meaning of another author's words, is also a form of plagiarism, unless the sources of those ideas are acknowledged. Roger Williams University provides resources and advice to students to help avoid plagiarism. See How to Avoid Plagiarism and the Cite Sources & Links to Handouts. Students are encouraged to consult their instructor if they have questions regarding proper documentation of sources and avoiding plagiarism. Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to
Fraud: Altering, forging, or encouraging another person to alter or forge, official records of the institution, or assisting others in such activities. Examples of plagiarism include, but are not limited to
Willful Damage: Damaging another's creative work or property.
Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Assisting or aiding someone else in committing a
breach of academic integrity. Examples include, but are not limited to
Consequences of a Breach of Academic Integrity
Civil discourse and the entire academic project depend on mutual trust among the community of scholars that is Roger Williams University. Even a minor breach of academic integrity diminishes that trust. Accordingly, the consequences of a breach of academic integrity, depending on severity, include:
The University Academic Conduct Committee is empowered to investigate and adjudicate all cases of suspected breaches of academic integrity. This committee will also serve as the record keeper of all academic integrity breaches. The University Academic Conduct Committee may, as part of its deliberations, consider a student's prior breaches of academic integrity on file. The University Academic Conduct Committee shall establish and publish by-laws and procedures pertaining to its own operations.
Committee Composition
The University Academic Conduct Committee shall be composed of one elected faculty representative from each school or college (including one from each CAS division), two representatives elected by the Student Senate, and one administrator (ex officio) from Academic Affairs.
Procedure for Dealing with Alleged Breaches of Academic Integrity
Students are responsible for knowing and complying with the academic regulations of the University. Each College and School has an Academic Standards Committee that serves as the appeal committee for students requesting exceptions to academic policy. A petition obtained from the appropriate dean's office must be completed and submitted to the dean of the college or school in which the student is enrolled. The dean of the college or school, if necessary, forwards the petition to the appropriate Academic Standards Committee.
In cases where an academic regulation or requirement constitutes a hardship, students may submit a written petition to the appropriate dean. Forms are available at the offices of the Registrar and the School of Continuing Studies in Providence. Any appeal is subject to review by the appropriate dean and designated Academic Affairs officer, whose decision shall be final.
An appeal must be filed within one semester after the semester in which the course was taken, or the event that is the basis for the appeal, occurred. Unless an appeal is filed within this period, it will not be considered.

How's it going? I'm new here, I joined a couple of weeks ago after lurking for an extended period of time, trying to decide if I was actually going to try building a mandalorian suit. Well I finally decided to do it and it'll be my first time working on something like this. I've only made one costume in the past and it was mostly just sewing involved, so this is a new step for me. I already ordered a good majority of my parts (shout-out to redkraytdragon). It's actually a custom mandalorian character I came up with way back and I thought he'd be fun to dress as. I'll start throwing up my build pics once I get started.
Well that's about it from me.

NASA Orion Spacecraft to send astronauts to the moon, asteroids & Mars; Museum of Flight talk promised new heights
NASA and Lockheed Martin Space Systems representatives intrigued the audience of over 100 enthusiasts Tuesday night, Feb. 26, at the Museum of Flight's William M. Allen Theater for a public program about humans landing on the moon, asteroids, and Mars with the Orion spacecraft. As the Space Shuttle program has winded down, Orion seems poised to boldly go where no man has gone before, four astronauts at a time.
The trip to Mars would take 510 days each way. Discussed were habitat modules or dock settlements somewhat like the current International Space Station to relieve astronauts of their relatively tiny environment over the year and a half journey to the "Red Planet." A manned moon mission is scheduled for 2020. The capsule will re-enter Earth's atmosphere at over 20,000 mph and slow to a mere 18 mph for a gentile, three-parachute water landing evocative of the Apollo missions.
Speaking were Stuart McClung, Functional Area Manager for Landing/Recovery System hardware for the Orion Crew and Service Module Office at NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, and Larry Price, Orion Deputy Program Manager with Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company.
They showed a brief video of the development of the heat shield, the world's largest, took questions, and spoke of the practicalities of twisting the arms of the generally-supportive Congress which has cut their funding resulting in slowing down testing timetables.
"It's not a blue state, red state thing," said McClung. "it's how much money is out there. They've got some big problems they're trying to solve, or hopefully trying to solve."
Added Price, "It's not bipartisan, it's nonpartisan, and NASA has very strong support in Congress."
They, and other representatives at the talk, pointed out that the Orion program has contracts and venders in 40 states, resulting in "direct job creation." They said that as they solve technical problems to get to outer space they discover new solutions to problems other industries can apply on Earth.
One go NASA's mantras is, "We don't spend money in space. We spend money on Earth."
Their critical, unmanned Sept., 2014 Exploration Flight Test 1 (EFT 1) will use the Delta 4 Heavy Rocket launch vehicle with two strap-on boosters manufactured by a consortium at Boeing and Lockheed. This will send up the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, or MPCV, which includes the capsule. More than half the systems that will appear in the ultimate finished Orion will be tested.
The Orion spacecraft crew module structure underwent its enormous final friction "stir weld" in June, 2010, and other developments were subsequently made at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans before it was transported to the NASA Kennedy Space Station last June.
Charlie Lundquist, Crew and Service Module Manager for NASA at Johnson Space Center, Houston, on hand at the event, spoke to the West Seattle Herald.
"We have a number of vendors in the Seattle area, subcontractors supporting this program," he said. He mentioned General Dynamics, Aerojet, Janicke Industries and others.
"We thought that while here (in the Seattle area) let's do outreach events and engage the public," Lundquist said. 'We want to let the American public know that, 'Yes, we're still in the space business. We're building launch vehicles. We're not going to be relying on the Russians anymore for access to space. America is back in the space business.'
"I grew up in Houston and there was always the Johnson Space Center there, and I was 7 years old when I saw Neil Armstrong walk on the moon,"he said. "A number of the people I work with also found that very inspirational and it shaped our futures, finding jobs in science and technology. We still think we at NASA serve that role, inspiring the young people and getting them engaged in space exploration."
Also from NASA at the Museum of Flight were two UW aero-engineering alumni, including Howard Hu from Shorline, and Nujoud Merancy from Tumwater.
"I've been in Houston since I graduated UW in 2001," said Merancy. "I pretty much always wanted to be an astronaut since I was a kid and never gave up that dream," she said. "Howard and I work in the same office. I'm a systems engineer in the vehicle integration office. We have all these systems, thermal structures, environmental, and I'm making sure all work together and we build it so that someone doesn't put a pipe where the crew is supposed to sit. We have several other Huskies on the Orion program, some at Johnson others with contractor teams (nationwide.)"
While Seattle-area luminaries like Charles Simonyi, who traveled to the International Space Station on a Russian-built Soyuz, donated generously to the Museum of Flight, and to space exploration in other ways, Merancy pointed out that because NASA is a government agency, it cannot accept private funding.
'You can't hold a bake sale," she said.
Also attending the talk, seated front-row, center, was perennial political candidate and astronomy hobbyist, Goodspaceguy, a Boulevard Park resident. He runs a blog, Colonize Orbital Space.
"I never liked the Space Shuttle because it was based on a faulty concept," he told the West Seattle Herald after the talk. Referring to Orion, he said with optimism "Here we have a capsule we can get into orbit with, like the Saturn V rocket that took us to the moon."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Gotta love those Chevelles. I owned a 69 396/375 when I was 17 back in 1972. 13.40's @ 102 MPH, running headers, and a set up 780 Holley, with L60 Goodyear Polyglass. Should've never sold it. Funny thing was, it wouldn't be a "matching numbers" car today. I bought it from the first owner who had just had the short block replaced under warranty at around 30k. I was glad I had a fresh lower end, but a purist would say it wasn't original. My car was a Michigan car and had a little rust starting to show on one of the lower front fenders even back then. That same fender had a crease in the eyebrow above the head light so I replaced it. If I remember correctly it was around $150.00.
GM now has a huge licensed reproduction business. Many parts are made, including sheet metal, using the original tooling. These parts have to meet GM standards as for the original parts. Look for GM licensing and make sure your supplier is in fact an authorized reproduction maufacturer. Your parts dealer should be able to tell you. If it's real it'll fit like it was originally supposed to. Good luck with the prettiest Chevelle, Chevy ever built, the 1969.
|There is alot of repro stuff out there. I don't know how you would "mike" it to know if it is original. Most sheetmetal has some kind of primer on it. You would be measuring the primer and metal. Some, not all I am sure, make the parts out of the same thickness material as the OEM. There should be some kind of identifying marks on the parts to indicate who made them.
fender metal thickness OE vs. repro
When looking for replacement fenders for my 69 Chevelle, I seem to come across a few guys who don't know if their fenders are GM or repro. Is there a way to "mike" the metal thickness to tell for sure if it is a real GM fender? does anyone know the specs?

Pesticides that kill bees contaminate rivers in the Midwest, and we're surprised?
By Barbara Kessler
Green Right Now
Neonicotinoid pesticides, the ones so good at killing bees that they've been banned in the European Union, have been found in rivers and throughout watersheds in the Midwest, according to a study just released by the US Geological Survey (USGS).
The study, described as the "first broad-scale investigation of neonicotinoid insecticides" in the Midwest, has been making headlines this week.
There's good news and bad news here. Now that we've driven the bees toward extinction, and understand that the chemicals we unleash into the environment can have widespread intended and unintended consequences, we're paying a little more attention to these products.
Neonicotinoid is not just a funny word, it's a threat to our water supply. The USGS study found neonicotinoids in all nine rivers it studied "including the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, that drain most of Iowa, and parts of Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin." That's six states affected in the agricultural Midwest. And we're worried. That's actually the good news.
The bad news is that no one in our government undertook to study the extent of neonicotinoid runoff until 10 years after the EPA approved these chemicals for use in agriculture.
Ag chemicals have been fouling surface water since Rachel Carson sounded the alarm about DDT more than 50 years ago and authorities easily could have anticipated that neonicotinoids would do the same. The EPA approved clothianidin in 2003, but it wasn't until 2013 that the USGS started its study, likely prompted by the profound collapse of our most-needed pollinators, honey bees, in the intervening years.
During those years, officialdom at first attributed the sudden decline of honey bees to a virus, then to a loss of land and to other factors, such as fatigue from being transported among farms. Finally, in the past couple years, government authorities conceded that the Colony Collapse Disorder zapping bees around the world is at least partly caused by neonicotinoid pesticides.
Neonics, which act as neurotoxins on insects, were designed to be safer than some old-style chemicals that had harsh effects on wildlife and vegetation, such as atrazine and DDT. These newer chemicals were supposed to be kinder to the environment because they were more contained. Neonicotinoids, applied via a seed coating, are internalized by crop plants, and don't have to be sprayed around, though they can be used as foliar treatments and ground drenches.
But here's the killer kicker: The plant itself, specifically its pollen, becomes toxic to insect predators. It emits a neurotoxin that kills them dead!
This internalized Raid, if you will, has devastated honey bees, according to some independent researchers. And um, yeah, plays a role in CCD, say less independent researchers.
The bees' method of death certainly lines up with what could be expected from neonicotinoids. Researchers have observed that bees exposed to neonics become disoriented – as if they'd been poisoned by a neurotoxin, surprise! — and lose their way. When the worker bees fail to return home, the hive dies en masse.
Way back when, Rachel Carson noticed that the chemicals farmers were using, liberally, to tamp down on crop-eating insects were ripping through the ecosystem, paralyzing pretty songbirds like the American robin and killing dairy cows that drank from tanks of water contaminated by overspray.
Carson called BS on the stupidity of chemical farming.
But for many reasons (though mainly money), farmers and chemical companies kept this system going, simply changing the chemicals and expecting a different result.
Is it time yet to review the model? Organic farming works, yields are bountiful when it's done right, and the soil gets better, not worse. This type of farming defines sustainability, preserves our future and some studies show it even provides more nourishing food. Bees thrive on organic farms, and keep the web of life strong.
Sound too crunchy and utopian for you? Perhaps you'd rather have a serving of imidacloprid with your morning coffee?
You can read the study summary, Neonicotinoid Pesticides Documented in Midwestern Streams at the USGS website.
The USGS found that the levels in streams it tested sometimes exceeded those determined to be toxic to aquatic life, though it noted that the EPA has deemed these chemicals to be A-OK for humans. Specifically the researchers said:
One of the chemicals, imidacloprid, is known to be toxic to aquatic organisms at 10-100 nanograms per liter if the aquatic organisms are exposed to it for an extended period of time. Clothianidin and thiamethoxam behave similarly to imidacloprid, and are therefore anticipated to have similar effect levels. Maximum concentrations of clothianidin, thiamethoxam and imidacloprid measured in this study were 257, 185, and 42.7 nanograms per liter, respectively.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified all detected neonicotinoids as not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.

Can You Paint on Your Face? L'Oreal's True Match Roller FoundationThursday, April 22, 2010
I have to admit that I've been endlessly fascinated by the commercials for this product. The girls stands there and just rolls on perfect skin, even down onto her neck. It looks amazing, even without blending. I knew that I had to try it out! If foundation really could be that easy (not to mention fast), it would be a holy grail worthy product.
So, I hightailed it over to my local Walmart, since they have the best selection from the mass market brands. Not to mention a few sky lights over the beauty area, I figured that would be a big help in selecting the correct shade.
I am really not that great at picking out a foundation shade in a store without testers, and I was pretty nervous that I'd get the wrong one. True, a L'Oreal foundation isn't as expensive as say, MAC, but it's still not exactly cheap. To help you pick out a shade, my L'Oreal display had a clear plastic sheet with little squares of color. The idea is that you hold his over your inner wrist and the shade that "disappears" is the one you pick. Truthfully, this has always made me a tad worried. How many of us have a different shade of skin on our face from our wrist? I'm willing to bet quite a few. But, given my lack of outdoor time and consistent sunscreen use, I decided to follow the directions. I was between C1 and C2, but the Roller foundation comes as C1-C2 anyways. So, that's the shade I brought home. It was a perfect match!
In the compact you find a basic compact foundation, similar to my beloved Cover Girl Aquasmooth Foundation in consistency. The roller truly is a roller, just roll it over the foundation and then onto your skin. As you can see in the picture here, the more you swipe the more coverage you have. 1 swipe is about medium coverage. It doesn't translate well over to the swatch image (that's just done on paper), but on my skin the coverage can be a bit spotty. As well, while the roller looks small it is best for covering major areas like the cheeks and forehead. I found it pretty difficult to use it for application on my nose and around my nose.
I think the most disappointing thing about this foundation was the amount of blending needed. The foundation certainly is not flawless, and I found that it did need quite a bit of blending with a sponge to look good. For some reason, using my Billy B Foundation Brush, which usually makes pretty much any foundation look flawless, just seemed to push the foundation around on my face and not help matters.
This foundation loves to settle into any nook and cranny, and will accentuate any dry/flaky areas or lines/wrinkles you might have. While I'm lucky and have no wrinkles (thanks to sunscreen, good skin care and great genes), I do have combination skin and my dry areas on my chin and cheeks were a big problem with this foundation. They truly looked horrible. I tried upping my morning moisturizer to a more hydrating creme formula, which helped some, but not much.
I then added a primer under the foundation, Maybelline Age Rewind Primer (I'll have a review of this product soon). I figured that the primer would help smooth things out as it was meant to keep foundation from settling like this. I was wrong.
I wondered if maybe the issue was that my skin was so much worse than normal, so I tried alternating days with the Cover Girl Aquasmooth Foundation, since the consistency and coverage is similar. The Cover Girl days were noticeably better with my skin looking much smoother and no settling into dry areas on my cheeks and chin.
Overall the foundation did last all day. I loved that the roller allowed even light application to be consistent. However, the roller wasn't great at reaching smaller areas on my face, and the foundation settled into dry areas on my face which looked not so good. This isn't a product I'll be purchasing again. I will be saving the roller though to use with my Cover Girl.
Sunscreen Note: The product I purchased is SPF 25. While I don't think anyone should rely totally on their foundation for their daily sun protection (none of us will apply it as heavily as need to reach that SPF or over every area of exposed skin), the extra protection is always welcome. Note that this product does not provide broad UV spectrum coverage.

Thanks for the review, it was great! I was thinking about getting it but if it isn't flawless it isn't worth my money. But the tough thing is I haven't seen a cover up or foundation that is flawless. It either goes on too blotchy and doesn't cover up evenly or it's too cakey. Got any recommendations??ReplyDelete
Anyway I'm new to this world of beauty blogging and I love your reviews on make up. Please follow my blog too, I just started mine on beauty products that claim to help promote healthy skin. Take a look and I would love to get your insights. Thanks!
This product also fascinates me everytime I see ads for it in magazines. I had a feeling the roller would be hard to maneuver all over your face, and it seemed too complicated for me to use (even though it is supposed to make things simpler!) I probably won't buy it myself, but I'm glad you tried it, so that I know how it really works!ReplyDelete
Thx for a great, honest review!ReplyDelete
Nearly bought it 14 times already, but I tend not to use foundation in warmer weather. That roller caught my attention too!. Endlessly curious about Maybellines new roll on too, so Ill keep my eyes open to see if you cover that one. I am hugely addicted to Rimmel's Fix and Perfect primer. It is awesome! Truly keeps things from settling into nooks and crannies. It comes in a universally flattering peachy tone. If I was the kind of girl who left the house with no makeup (and clearly I am NOT), you could actually use this alone over moisturizer.
Thanks for saving me the test run.

I thought that looked too good to be true . . . thanks for the review!ReplyDelete
so glad you reviewed this. I have been wondering about this stuff.ReplyDelete
Debi- I'm buying that next time I'm at Walmart! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I actually like this foundation. With the primer, it works great for me. I roll it on and then I use my finger to make sure it is blended and wa-la! I have some fine lines and haven't noticed it settling at all. I have tried countless foundations and some are too dry, too wet, or whatever. I was using Cover Girl Ageless before and I hated that one.ReplyDelete
I think it all depends on your skin!
- AnonymousMarch 15, 2011 at 3:20 PM
the foundation is good. just the brush sucks. so use a regular sponge and the coverage is really good. i use this when i want to actually cover up things, otherwise just use my regular liquid foundation..ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 5, 2013 at 5:40 PM
I love this product and use a moisturizer before using because I do have dry skin.ReplyDelete
I love comments! Please ask away, provide info on how you liked something, etc. Note that spam, comments with random links (which I count as spam), anything not in english (again, spam) and comments that are completely unrelated to anything will all be deleted.

text: I've been thinking of doing this thread for a while and today on facebook, somebody posted this video: Labrador and Dolphin swim together We see things like this with people as well as animals at times, two individuals who should have no connection, but go against all regular thinking and form a connection even though everyone around is scratching their head. Watching this video I wondered, "is it possible they lived a past life with one another and come hell or high water, they were going to find each other again and form a connection". Or are these types always 100% random? "Exceptions to the rule." Wikipedia entry on reincarnation So I'm curious as to what other people think about past lives and reincartion. I am definitely 100% completely unsure. I think it's a great/nice idea, but I simply just don't know what to think. How about you?
