The Dance section of the Venice Biennale was established in 1998, as a result of the reform law of the Biennale that year. The American dancer and choreographer Carolyn Carlson was appointed director for the four-year period 1999 to 2002. Before 1998, dance performances presented at the Venice Biennale were part of the Music program.
The shows presented at the Biennale between 1999 and 2002 were part of thematic sections that took place between May and October within the DMT program (Dance Music and Theatre, the three performing arts sections of the Biennale). For this reason, the term 'festival' was not used to give a name to the events of the Dance section in the period 1999-2002.
Biennale Dance 1999
On July 30th, the Teatro Verde on the island of San Giorgio was reopened with the premiere of Parabola by Carolyn Carlson and Gianni De Luigi.

The third section of Carolyn Carlson's project included the training of new dancers at the Accademia Isola Danza, that was created in the facilities of the Fondazione Cini on the island of San Giorgio: the Biennale opened the first modern and contemporary dance academy in Italy, that trained dancers from various countries for a period of four years. An extraodinary group of teachers included major figures in the world of dance, such as Jorma Uotinen, Raffaella Giordano, Elsa Wolliaston, Jean Cristophe Paré, and Dominique Mercy, to name but a few. Since the summer of 1999, young dancers took part in works directed by Carolyn Carlson that were presented in Venice and in a few other major cities in Italy and in Europe.

Now in the fourth year of activity, the Accademia Isola Danza became the hot spot for dance training and a unique experience in Italy. Nine dancers who attended the masterclasses over the years joined the Biennale Dance Company and took part in all of Carolyn Carlson's creations of that period. 29 dancers were admitted in 2002, chosen among the 400 ones who applied for an audition. Teachers of the 2002 session included José Navas, Susanne Linke, Hélène Blackburn, Ivan Wolfe, and Sonia Rafferty.

'Regier said Paille's development last season was so swift the organization has re-evaluated where the hard-working winger fits into their plans. "We mapped out a certain length of time we felt he might need to develop before he played in the NHL, but based on the second half, that time has been shortened in my view," Regier said.'

Have you ever been out and about, looking at the clothing that others are wearing (who hasn't) – only to be borderline offended by the sheer volume of text that is plastered all over someone's t-shirt or hoodie? Long, strange philosophical sayings come to mind – also, business information that covers the entire surface of the clothing. Both are annoying enough to turn people away, rather than engage them. So how can you avoid making that same mistake when it comes time to create your own custom sweatshirts and pants for your business? Here are some quick tips to keep in mind.
Keep characters minimal.
Rather than thinking about how many words will be on the clothing, consider the number of characters. Twitter has us now thinking in terms of 140 character briefs, and as maddening as it may be to cram all your thoughts into that tight of a template, it is a good rule of thumb that can be useful even when designing customized clothing. Keep the characters on your promotional sweatshirts and pants to a minimum, and you will likely make a maximum impact.
Think about what you need to say.
We mean, really think about it. Do you honestly need to provide every detail about your business on a sweatshirt? Of course not. All that the people passing by you in the grocery store will have time to read is the name of the business, its address and maybe a phone number. What would be even better, though, would be to skip the address and phone altogether and replace them with the website. Anyone who is really interested in calling or coming by will get that info right off the website, so always print your URL front and center on your imprinted sweatshirts and pants.
Don't neglect the rest of the design.
We offer numerous varieties of hooded sweatshirts (yes, "hoodies") as well as crew neck sweatshirts, and those are all available in a number of popular colors. By taking advantage of that, you can make the rest of your shirt stand out in a way that beckons people to read the text for more info about who you are. Don't underestimate the power of well-designed personalized sweatshirts and pants; they are the key to getting people to look a little longer.
For custom sweatshirts and pants that look the way you want them to, check out our great selection – and have fun designing! These are personalized products that can be as enjoyable to design as they are to wear.

We love these binoculars!
By Howie the woodworker
from Eugene, OR
Best Uses
We love these binoculars! My wife and I got them for sports activities and we can both use them with no refocusing. They offer a view of a wide part of any field and one can see all the players at once. Close up or far away, the view is clear and crisp. I have glasses and they are so easy to use without taking them off. this is a propduct I would highly recommend!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

NASHVILLE -- Third-generation coffee producer Luz Marina Trujillo provided CT&W showgoers a firsthand account of what's involved in running a successful coffee farm and shared the deep connection she has with the people who work on hers.
Trujillo hosted a group of National Automatic Merchandising Association members at her Santa Elena coffee estate in the mountainous Tarrazu region of Costa Rica last February, allowing them to personally experience one origin of coffee's farm-to-cup journey.
She grew up on a Colombian coffee estate and moved to Costa Rica in 1989 to run the Santa Elena coffee farm that her father and uncle had purchased years earlier. "I planned to stay six months, but it's been 24 years," she laughed.
The coffee grower decided early on that she wanted to sell directly to roasters. Her first client to buy direct was Seattle's Best founder Jim Stewart. Their relationship budded into a romance and the two married. Stewart joined his wife at NAMA's CT&W event.
Trujillo pointed out that many coffee farmers never taste their coffee in roast and ground format before the green beans are sold and shipped. So she stepped it up a notch by investing in a roasting machine, allowing her and her employees to cup each batch of coffee to ensure its quality and consistency.
Trujillo guided CT&W showgoers through the coffee-picking and sorting process via a slide show that spotlighted each step and the families behind Santa Elena coffee.
"We treat coffee with love every step of the way," she said. Santa Elena coffee is shade-grown and produced with natural fertilizers. And the coffee estate supports the quality of life of its workers through community health, education and social outreach programs.
"Any time you want to visit, you're more than welcome to visit Santa Elena," Trujillo concluded. "You're part of my family."

Innerbelt Bridge demolition moves forward
(Cleveland) - Work continues on the demolition of the old Innnerbelt Bridge.
ODOT District 12 spokeswoman Jocelynn Clemings says crews are dismantling the concrete around the bridge, and have made a great deal of progress so far. Many are working in 12 hour shifts.
Clemings says the best vantage point to watch deconstruction is in the Tremont neighborhood near Sokolowski's University Inn. At its peak, Clemings says 500 workers will be on site during peak activity.
At some point during the summer only the steel frame will remain and Clemings tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that will they will implode the shell. She says the time and date will be announced for a public viewing of the event.
After the implosion and removal of debris, construction of the second Innerbelt Bridge will begin with completion set for 2016.

GSA Announces New Mileage Reimbursement Rate for Federal Employees
January 22, 2007
Contact: Jen Millikin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced an increase in the mileage reimbursement rate which Federal employees receive for the use of Privately Owned Automobiles (POA) for official travel when deemed advantageous by their agencies. The mileage rate will increase from 44.5 cents to 48.5 cents per mile.
This latest rate mirrors the new optional standard mileage rate announced on November 1, 2006 by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for use by Federal employees, self-employed individuals, or other taxpayers in calculating the deductible costs of operating an automobile for business, charitable, medical or moving purposes.
By law, in consultation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Department of Defense, and representatives of employee organizations of the Federal government, GSA conducts periodic investigations of costs associated with travel and operation of privately owned vehicles on a yearly basis. GSA may not exceed the POA standard mileage reimbursement rate set by the IRS.
Once approved by the Office of Management and Budget, the new rate will be published in the Federal Register and become effective February 1, 2007.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA's Multiple Award Schedules feature more than 17,500 of the best businesses offering more than 10 million products and services to government, from environmentally friendly cleaning products to sophisticated information technology solutions. Negotiated by GSA for best prices and rapid service, Multiple Award Schedules offer unparalleled value for both users and the American taxpayer.

Most bumps on the eyelid are styes. A stye is an inflamed oil gland on the edge of your eyelid, where the lash meets the lid. It appears as a red, swollen bump that looks like a pimple. It is often tender to the touch.
Bump on the eyelid; Stye; Hordeolum
A stye is caused by bacteria from the skin that get into the oil glands in the eyelids that provide lubrication to the tear film. Styes a lot like common acne pimples that occur elsewhere on the skin. You may have more than one stye at the same time.
Styes most often develop over a few days and may drain and heal on their own. A stye can become a chalazion -- this is when an inflamed oil gland becomes fully blocked. If a chalazion gets large enough, it can cause trouble with your vision.
If you have blepharitis (see eye redness), you are more likely to get styes.
Other possible eyelid bumps include:
In addition to the red, swollen bump, other possible symptoms include:
Your doctor or nurse can diagnose a stye just by looking at it. Tests are rarely needed.
To treat eyelid bumps at home:
If the style is infection, your doctor may:
Styes often get better on their own. However, they may return.
The outcome is almost always excellent with simple treatment.
Sometimes, the infection may spread to the rest of the eyelid. This is called eyelid cellulitis.
Call your doctor or nurse if:
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the skin around your eye. If you are susceptible to styes, it may help to carefully clean off excess oils from the edges of your lids.

Comedian Remembered at Funeral
Comedian James McNair was remebered during a funeral in Peekskill, several days after he was killed in an accident that also injured Tracy Morgan.
Family and friends gathered at the Paramount Theater yesterday. He was a mentor to Morgan.
McNair was killed last Saturday morning in an accident on the New Jersey Turnpike. Authorities said the limo he was riding in was struck by a Wal-Mart truck driven by Kevin Roper.
Roper is accused of being awake for more than 24 hours straight before the crash. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of death by auto and assault by auto.
Morgan remains hospitalized.
"His medical team remains optimistic that his recovery is progressing," Morgan's publicist Lewis Kay said.

New video has been released of an elusive and little-known small cat, known as the marbled cat.
Similar in size to a domestic cat, it has very distinct fur marks, similar to a clouded leopard. It’s believed to spend most of its time up in trees—using its tail, which is nearly as long as its body, for balance.
Considered a “vulnerable” species, the marbled cat is rarely seen by people, and most images have been captured through motion-sensing camera traps.
This recent video from Northern Sumatra, was engineered by Marten Slothouwer, a Dutch filmmaker and founder of Eyes on Leuser, a conservation project, in cooperation with BPKEL, a government agency.
The group hopes to preserve the marbled cat and other animals in Indonesia’s Leuser region through education, by conducting anti poaching patrols, and stemming the tide of deforestation, perhaps the greatest threat to the cat’s survival.
The marbled cat is not alone in the forest. Among other animals, Slothouwer’s cameras also filmed a golden cat.
And there are big cats here, as well. A Sumatran tiger walked through and even pawed at the camera housing.

Testing HiRISE
Scientists and engineers at the University of Arizona are gearing up to see the first test images of Mars taken by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera. The camera team expects to begin receiving the images early Friday (March 24, 2006). The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will be farther from Mars when the camera takes these test images than it will be when the mission's main science phase begins next fall, so the resolution of features in the images will not match what is anticipated later. However, this week's testing is the only planned use of the camera until the science phase begins. Stay tuned for the first test images!

Did you make sure to edit your /etc/resolv.conf?
So i was able to establish a connection to my LAN using all CLI commands(networkmanager does not start for some reason) I used ifconfig wlan0 up to bring my wireless interface up. Then I manually scan local access points using iwlist and am able to find my access point. I then manually connect to it using iwconfig to configure the essid, key, and Access point mac address. I connect to it and then assign a static Ip address for my computer and gateway(DHCP command does not work for me).Then I am able to ping local hosts on my network and vice versa also i can ping the router. However although i can send out DNS requests and basic traffic that my gateway sends out for local users, I am still unable to leave my LAN and access the net. I cannot send any tcp or udp packets or anything like that. Can someone help me with this issue? thank you very much in advance
Did you make sure to edit your /etc/resolv.conf?

Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
I know you say you set the gateway, but just double check its in place (ip route show), might explain why you can get traffic over the wireless (route in place) but not internet (default route not inplace).
I agree with KMDave first thing to do, but just trying to think of a second thing to try in case.
When configuring manually, you have the set your default gateway and dns server.
default gateway example:
The output fromCode:route add default gw ***.***.***.***should look something like thisCode:route -n
The last line is the important one, it indicates the default gateway (make sure you can ping your gateway before continuing)Code:Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 1 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
dns example, when editing /etc/resolv.conf should contain at least this. (make sure you can ping your dns address)
Not all home routers do dns masking, so your nameserver may not be the same as your gateway. If you are unsure of your isp's dns servers addresses, you can use opendnsCode:nameserver ***.***.***.***
Code:nameserver 188.8.131.52 nameserver 184.108.40.206
yes I did set my default gw and was able to ping it and ping other clients on my network. However i cannot even get into /etc/init.d/NetworkManager. Everytime I start it nothing happens. But I think that my problem is the DNS I tried editing /etc/resolv.conf but i cannot access that file and it keeps saying permission denied. When I trace my packets through wireshark I see that i am sending out DNS. Also not sure if this might help but when i traced my host address with nmap it said that I had all my ports closed
Well have you? lol
I presume this is backtrack, which is slax? I dont have it to hand but do you edit resolv of ifcfg-eth0 for slax dns?
PS you make it sound like sending out DNS is a bad thing? What dest address does the DNS packet have? the address of your router?
This is the simple checklist for routing and DNS:
- If you can ping an outside IP, then routing is OK.
- If you can ping both an outside name address and the matching IP, and if the name resolves to a IP, then routing is OK, and DNS is OK.
- If it doesn't resolve the name, but you can ping the IP, then routing is OK, but DNS is broken.
- If DNS is broken, check that the router is passing Port 53 UDP.

Lamb Of God frontman releases short film about trial
Listen to Lamb of God on iHeartRadio
Lamb of God frontman Randy Blythe has released a self-made short film he shot during his manslaughter trial earlier this year in the Czech Republic.
Blythe says the four-and-a-half-minute wordless video shows his mind set during that difficult time. It features clips of Blythe in various locations around Prague, as well as shots of a devilish marionette, which Blythe explains is an important character in Czech folk culture.
He says the figure doesn't represent evil, but instead represents how he viewed himself during the trial and how he felt he was viewed by society.
Blythe ends the video with the message "Rest in Peace, Daniel," in honor of the 19-year-old fan who died at a Lamb of God concert in 2010.
Blythe was a acquitted in the teen's death back in March, and the decision was upheld by the Prague High Court in June.

Ship Weight:1.10 Servings:14 Dosage:2 Tablespoon(s) Earth Balance Crunchy Coconut and Peanut Spread - 16 oz. (453g) Earth Balance's Crunchy Coconut and Peanut Spread is one part all-natural peanut butter, and one part organic extra virgin coconut oil that together make a mouth-watering spread. Earth Balance's Crunchy Coconut and Peanut Spread is tasty on toast, in stir-fry dishes, added to smoothies, you name it! Are you crazy for coconuts and love peanut butter? Earth Balance has brought them both together in Earth Balance's delicious Creamy Coconut & Peanut Spread! Get creative with another one of Earth Balance's certifiably coconut products! Earth Balance's Crunchy Coconut and Peanut Spread: Vegan Gluten-Free Expeller-Pressed Oils Non-GMO Project Verified 100% Natural 0g Trans Fat FAQ's: Why isn't Earth Balance Buttery Spread just called "margarine?" For some really important reasons. Earth Balance Buttery Spreads don't contain any hydrogenated or interesterified oils, preservatives or emulsifiers found in most margarines and other butter alternatives. Their Buttery Spread is a natural option with 0g of trans fat and award-winning flavor. It's beyond margarine-it's something better. What is the difference between Earth Balance and Smart Balance spreads? Earth Balance spreads are made with all-natural ingredients. While their spreads contain the same patented blend of oils as Smart Balance spreads, they're also made with only natural expeller-pressed oils. Earth Balance spreads also never contain GMOs, artificial preservatives, artificial flavors, artificial colors or emulsifiers. Plus, all of their products are vegan and gluten-free. What's the difference between all of your buttery spreads? Let's start with what they all have in common: All of their buttery spreads contain a patented blend of expeller-pressed, non-GMO oils. All of them are vegan, gluten-free and contain 0g of trans fat. But there are a lot of uses for butter alternatives, so they set out to make products that work for all of them. Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread is the most versatile of all their products. You can spread, cook, bake, sauté, and basically use it any way you would regular butter. Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread is made with certified organic oils and whipped to improve spreadability, even right out of the fridge. Earth Balance Buttery Spread with Olive Oil is also whipped for easy spreading, but they swapped canola oil with olive oil for a hint of the savory flavor and goodness of extra virgin olive oil. Earth Balance Soy Garden Buttery Spread contains olive oil as well, and has the additional benefit of ground soy beans to destabilize the emulsion and enhance flavor release. It contains no canola oil. Earth Balance Soy Free Spread does not contain soybean oil, and instead contains a blend of palm fruit oil, canola oil, safflower oil and olive oil. Can I cook with all of these spreads, or are some better than others for certain things? You can cook with all of their spreads, but when it comes to baking, some are better than others. For example, because the whipping process adds volume, Earth Balance Organic Whipped Buttery Spread and Earth Balance Buttery Spread with Olive Oil will not measure precisely. Instead, they recommend Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread, Earth Balance Soy Garden Buttery Spread or Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks for baking. How is the Earth Balance Organic Coconut Spread different from other Earth Balance spreads? Earth Balance Organic Coconut Spread is one of a kind. This product offers a convenient alternative to coconut oil, and is vegan and soy-free. Earth Balance Organic Coconut Spread is based on the same formula as Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread, but it replaces soybean oil with extra virgin organic coconut oil. Great on toast, steamed veggies or as an ingredient in cooking and baking recipes, this innovative product is non-GMO, and will quickly become a staple in any plant-based diet. If Earth Balance spreads aren't hydrogenated, how do they stay stable at room temperature? Their patented oil blends are careful combinations of palm fruit, soy, canola, and olive oils. So not only are Earth Balance Spreads nutritionally beneficial in many respects when compared to butter and most margarines, but they are also naturally stable at room temperature. That means they don't have to resort to unnatural or unhealthy processes like hydrogenation or interesterification to give their spreads their buttery consistency. What's the story behind the proprietary blend of expeller-pressed oils in Earth Balance spreads? In 1996, GFA Brands, Inc., the owner of the Earth Balance brand, licensed the patented blends of vegetable oils developed by Brandeis University. Research at Brandeis has shown that consumption of these oil blends, combined with a sensible, low-fat, low-cholesterol diet and exercise, can help reduce the "bad" LDL cholesterol and increase the "good" HDL cholesterol, thereby improving your overall cholesterol ratio.* This is one thing that sets Earth Balance spreads apart. Not only do they avoid hydrogenated oils, trans fats and other chemical modifications, their formula has been proven to actually help improve your cholesterol ratio.* Another thing that makes us special is that award-winning Earth Balance flavor, but they're pretty sure you already knew about that part. *When 2/3 of fat intake comes from Earth Balance spreads or from other products with balanced fats; limit fat to 30% of calories (65g/day) and saturated fats to 10% (20g/day). Limit cholesterol to 300mg/day. Avoid foods with partially hydrogenated oil. Exercise regularly. What are trans fats and why should I avoid them? When oils are hydrogenated, it means hydrogen atoms are added to fat molecules so they'll stay stable and harden at room temperature. Trans fats are oils that have been hydrogenated, and they've been widely linked to a number of health problems. At Earth Balance, they use naturally stable blends of palm fruit, canola, soy and olive oils that do not require hydrogenation or any other chemical modification. What are the advantages of expeller-pressed oils? Oils that are not specifically labeled "expeller-pressed," "cold-pressed" or "extra virgin" are often made by using harsh chemical solvents and/or extreme heat to separate the edible oil from the plant material. "Expeller-pressed" means they only use pressure to separate the oil from the plant material-a more natural way to extract the nutrients and flavor of the oil. I thought palm oil was unhealthy. Why do you use it? Like an avocado, palm fruit has two basic parts: the kernel (or seed) and the fruit. Oils can be derived from both. Palm kernel oil is high in lauric and myristic acids (the fatty acids also found in butter), which have been shown to raise "bad" LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. Palm kernel oil is about 90% saturated. However, oil derived from the palm fruit has much lower levels of lauric and myristic acids, and it's only about 45% saturated. It has many other beneficial qualities and is essential to their balanced fat blends that have been patented by Brandeis University. Earth Balance only uses palm fruit oil that is harvested from sustainable sources in an environmentally and socially responsible way I've heard talk about palm oil and sustainability. Where does Earth Balance source its palm oil? 30% of their palm oil comes from Brazil, which is the source they use in all of their organic products. The remaining 70% is sourced from peninsular Malaysia where all of their suppliers are members of RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil), the leading global organization developing and implementing global standards for sustainable palm oil production. All palm oil sourced from these suppliers comes only from existing palm plantations, not new jungle-clearing projects. They insist on continuing assurances from their suppliers that all palm fruit oil purchased for Earth Balance complies with the RSPO policies and they would not hesitate to terminate suppliers that violate these policies About Earth Balance: It all started in 1998 when GFA Brands, Inc. (that's their parent company) introduced Earth Balance spreads as an all-natural sidekick to its already successful Smart Balance products. Soon after launch, their Earth Balance Original Buttery Spread started garnering some serious attention in the natural foods world and even gained recognition as a winner in several taste competitions. Score one, nature. Before long, Earth Balance Buttery Spread became the fastest selling and most popular all-natural butter alternative in the country. Fast forward to today and they're now happily expanding and enhancing their current line of tempting, natural foods and beverages. What began with a spread has now transformed into a full line of buttery spreads, baking sticks and shortenings, soy milks, alternative mayos, coconut spread and even soy nog. But they won't stop there. It's their mission to continue innovating tasty new products and teaching the world what a positive impact natural foods can have on their bodies and the environment. Just outside Boulder, Colorado is where you'll find a company that's committed to quality on a whole new scale. That's us. Earth Balance, and they can't wait to introduce you to their line of naturally irresistible buttery spreads, shortenings, nut butters, soymilk, soy nog, coconut spread and MindfulMayo Dressing and Sandwich Spreads. All of their products are 100% plant-based, vegan, non-GMO, lactose-free, gluten-free, egg-free, casein-free, have 0g of trans fat and, oh, did they mention they're absolutely delicious? Because they are. At Earth Balance, taste is king, and that's a commitment they live by every single day. Everything they make is tasty enough to stand strong on it's own, but any of their products can also be the perfect substitute in all your favorite cooking or baking recipes. To put it simply: They use only natural ingredients. They're organic-minded. And they're whipping up the good stuff to share with everyone who follows a plant-based diet, suffers from food allergies, or just wants to lead a more health-conscious and earth-loving life. They heart the earth. In fact, they heart it so much that they named their entire line of products after it. That's why they're committed to keeping their world, and the people who live here, safe. Earth Balance is dedicated to the organic and non-GMO missions, and they're taking great strides in protecting their planet and the people who use their products. From strong sustainable palm oil efforts to healthy kid and food allergy safety initiatives, you can count on Earth Balance to be making a difference.

Gavin, this is something we could do on this site by asking our members to report prior asbestos exposure. The study presented is rather small and inconclusive at best howeer; we could do our own follow-up, as our patient community by far succeeds the 145 people analyzed retrospectively.
Yes Marion that would be a great idea. How would we go about it though? And I guess that if we did do this then we could get Helen and all of her AMMF members to participate as well? Just a thought but I am sure that Helen would like to particpate as well.
It would be so helpful to me to know how many members have had asbestos exposure. I am getting ready to file my husband's claim with the VA. He definitely was exposed to at least 2 species of liver flukes that cause this cancer. BUT his military medical record documents all of the asbestos exposure he had while serving on Navy ships - lots of it. So I am going to cite both the liver fluke and asbestos.
My father worked for the railroad for 41 years and was exposed to asbestos for many years. He passed away from this monster of a disease in Dec. 2014, only 3 months after being diagnosed. I too was wondering if there was a connection between the asbestos exposure and CC.
From the ICPR studies, 18 of the 177 responders checked that they had been exposed to asbestos either at home at at work. This is old data so there may be more data available now.
A quick google search for asbestos and CC throws up these links if you want to explore this further.
My best wishes to you,
My dad worked for the Railroad too, and has documented exposure to asbestos ... and he has CC. As a result of that exposure he was receiving money from some type of asbestos trust fund for a while, but it stopped ... I don't know the details.
That is what I blame my diagnosis on....I grew up in Libby, Montana, one of the biggest asbestos exposures super fund sites in the states!....will never know for sure but definitely my gut instinct!
No unusual asbestos exposure for me... I'm thinking it was all the hot dogs I used to eat.
Ha, ha, Matt.....you and my husband...he just loved his hot dogs.
Msargent1- Did your father's doctor think the two could be related??

Fall 2013 Convocation Speech
"Getting Better"

Fall 2013 Speakers
August 19, 2013

Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Margaret Purser
Chair of the Faculty
Mac Hart
Associated Students President
Marybeth Hull
Staff Representative to the Academic Senate
It is my great pleasure to welcome our new students, faculty and staff, as well as those who are returning, to the 2013-2014 academic year. Academic life is sustained by the new influx of students who bring with them new ideas and perspectives. They keep us challenged as we prepare them for a life of learning and active citizenship. The goals of this university — retention, graduation and satisfaction — remain student-centered. While we are doing well in meeting these three goals, it is important to keep improving. The theme of my remarks today is "Getting Better."
The financial challenges we encountered in the past two years were enormous. The CSU lost a billion dollars, or 30%, of its revenue from the State. Other sources of revenue, mainly student fees, did not come anywhere close to closing that gap—as a matter of fact less than half of that amount. I tell the business community that if a private concern were to lose 30% of its revenues in two years, they would have gone under. We did not. Instead we persevered despite tremendous sacrifices and met our goals, graduating close to 2,300 students this past May. Because of the determined efforts of all us, we remain very popular with prospective students. This semester we will have about 9,100 students. In terms of full-time equivalent students we will surpass our target by the allotted 5% with 7,917 FTES. This will help stabilize our finances.
Let me provide a little bit of financial history: Last November the voters of California passed Proposition 30 which increased income tax rates on high earners, and provided a temporary hike in the sales tax. While this proposition did not provide an additional penny to higher education, it stopped further budget cuts.
As a result, a tuition fee increase of $132 million was rescinded last fiscal year and the fees that had already been collected were returned. To make up for most of this lost revenue, the State funded the CSU with $125 million this fiscal year. An additional $125 million was added to the budget to address other needs such as enrollment growth, graduation initiatives, compensation, and more course offerings as well as increases in mandatory costs. Similar increases are expected for the next two fiscal years with the expectation of no tuition fee increases. To date, the tax receipts are coming in better than forecasted and with an improving economy these numbers should be sustainable. But, if you add all the increases, they are about a third of the funding recently lost, yet with a substantial increase in the number of students served—about 25,000 more students. While our financial situation is getting better, it is far from being adequate to fully meet our goals of retention, graduation and satisfaction.
David Ward, the twice Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin, Madison and former president of the American Council on Education recently commented that, "Now the pendulum not only is unlikely to swing back toward adequate state funding, but has fallen off its pin and is stuck in the mud." (David Ward, Sustaining Strategic Transitions in Higher Education', Educause Review, July/August 2013, pg.14).
While we will be using most of the new revenue to meet the academic needs of our students, including providing as many class offerings as possible, we are still short of insuring that every student who wishes to finish in four years can do so.
This semester we are engaging in a consultation process to determine the parameters, feasibility and accountability measures of a local student success fee. If adopted, this would be strictly used to hire the necessary faculty and staff to provide the classes and services that would guarantee a four year graduation to those students who want it. They would need to be willing to take a minimum load of 15 units every semester for 8 semesters. As a required fee, it would be included in the cost of education at Sonoma State University and factored into financial aid calculations. The recently adopted Middle Class Scholarship program will be in effect and it would help those students with the costs of higher education who do not qualify for need-based aid but are still in need of financial assistance.
In addition to the scarcity of funding, we are also experiencing instructional space deficits. We are over capacity and need more classrooms. While we have been on the list for a new professional studies building for more than seven years, the lack of a state education construction bond has precluded the creation of the needed new space. This semester we have created new classrooms in Chalk Hill on the northwest corner of campus and in the Commons. Weill Hall is also being used as an instructional space. By the way, I am pleased to report that the first year of operations of the Green Music Center has been very successful with more than 112,000 ticketed patrons, many of them first-time visitors to the University. Over the winter break four new classrooms will be created in the Student Union building resulting from the opening of the University Center this semester. A year from now Schroeder Hall will be completed offering additional instructional space. In terms of instructional space we are getting better but we still look forward to the funding for the professional studies building in the near future.
The academic development and achievement of our students are the guiding reasons for our existence as a university. Recently, the Association of American Colleges and Universities whose mission is "To make liberal education and inclusive excellence the foundation for institutional purpose and educational practice in higher education," published its strategic plan for the next four years. (Association of American Colleges and Universities, " Strategic Plan 2013-2017, Big Questions, Urgent Challenges: Liberal Education and Americans' Global Future").
They have established seven principles of excellence that I believe are applicable to Sonoma State.
Principle 1: Aim high and make excellence inclusive in preparing students for 21st Century challenges. This can be done by:
- demonstrating essential learning outcomes in gaining knowledge of human cultures and the physical and natural world;
- developing intellectual and practical skills such as those of inquiry and analysis, critical and creative thinking, written and oral communications;
- quantitative and information literacy, and teamwork and problem solving;
- personal and social responsibility such as civic knowledge and engagement both locally and globally, intercultural knowledge and competence, ethical reasoning and action, foundations for lifelong learning;
- integrative and applied learning such as synthesis and advanced accomplishments across general and specialized studies through collaborative and sustainable practices.
Principle 2: Give each student a compass for his or her plan of study on achieving the essential learning outcomes -- and assess progress.
Principle 3: Teach the arts of inquiry and innovation.
Principle 4: Engage the big questions.
Principle 5: Connect knowledge with choices and action as we prepare students for citizenship and real-world problem solving.
Principle 6: Foster civic, intercultural, and ethical learning by emphasizing personal and social responsibility in every field of study.
Principle 7: Assess the students' ability to apply learning to complex problems.
I believe we are generally in compliance with these seven principles. In the spirit of "getting better," I am asking Provost Andrew Rogerson to work closely with the Deans, the faculty and the Academic Senate in reviewing our academic offerings and practices to insure that they are closely aligned to these principles. Getting better is not a single action, but a process of continuous improvement and change led by always asking, "What can we do better?" Often the answer to this question challenges the status-quo, and that is good as it reflects the essence of our existence as an institution of higher education.
We are experiencing significant and accelerated change in the creation, discovery and organization of knowledge and we must be responsive by making major curricular and programmatic shifts alongside the adaptation of multiple learning practices. This is our challenge in getting better.
I wish you a very good academic year.

How would our lives be changed if we had no idea what day it was? No idea when to observe religious holidays or mark the passing of another year? Dr. Rosen examines these intriguing questions in the context of the Holocaust when Jews in ghettos, camps, and in hiding, were compelled to develop innovative strategies to track time, maintain continuity with the past and envision a viable future.

The first question:
Osho,Last night you said that when there are no thoughts in the mind, the mind becomes an empty space and the doors to all the mysteries are opened. I feel this inner space deeply and clearly but there is nothing special that I feel as mystery.Will you explain what you mean by the mystery and how is it felt?
The inner emptiness itself is the mystery. You cannot feel it and you cannot know it. You become it. You are it. When the inner space is there, then you are not. You cannot observe it. If you observe it, then the inner space has not yet appeared. Who will observe it? If you can observe it you are separate from it, so it is not inner, it is outer. It is "out" to you. The inner has not yet become empty, it is filled. The ego is there - in a very subtle form; as an observer or onlooker, it is there. The inner is not empty yet, because when the inner is empty, you are not.
So the first thing to remember is that you will not be a witness to the mystery, you will be the mystery. You will not be able to observe it because you cannot be separate, there cannot be any duality.
One thing.when the inner is really empty, you are not, because you are the thing by which the inner is filled. Because of you it is not empty; because of you the space is covered, occupied. When you dissolve, when you simply disappear, only then the inner emptiness is there. So you will not be a witness to the mystery. Until you are not, the mystery will not be revealed; when you are not, the mystery will be revealed. So if you say that you feel inner emptiness it means you are not the emptiness; emptiness is something that is happening to you, around you, but you are not empty. So really this emptiness is just a "thought" of emptiness - that is why you can say that now your inner space has become empty. This is a thought: this emptiness is not real, this emptiness is just part of the mind. The observer is there so the object must be there. You can make emptiness an object, a thought.
It is reported that Bokuju became empty like this. He must have come across this type of emptiness. He came to his master and he said, "Now there is nothing, I have become empty." The master said, "Go out and throw this nothingness also. This nothingness is still something, why are you carrying it? If you have really become nothing you will not be able to report it. Who will carry it? Who will feel in it a certain achievement?" The master said to Bokuju, "You have done well, you have become empty, now go and throw out this emptiness also."
You can be filled with emptiness - that is the problem. And if you are filled with emptiness you are not empty.

On April 16, 1998, a tornado touched down in Nashville, Tenn. It tore through downtown before hopping across the Cumberland River to East Nashville, toppling some 20,000 trees citywide and damaging hundreds of homes and businesses. East Nashville, a patchwork of quirky neighborhoods and about 25,000 people, took the brunt.
There is no evidence of that devastation today. Instead, new growth knits together this eclectic string of communities. There are historic mansions, humble bungalows, hip restaurants, and a smorgasbord of small businesses. Musicians rub shoulders with physicians, and trendy boutiques share streets with not-so-mainstream bars. There are attractive housing options for people with low and average incomes. It wasn't always that way.
For years, East Nashville was considered a rough part of town, cut off from the urban core by the river and an interstate highway. It had its charms, though, including a traditional urban fabric and a nice mix in household income, race, demographics, and architecture. By the early 1990s, the influx of artists and musicians priced out by real estate across the river had begun breathing new life into the area's ramshackle shotgun houses and abandoned lots. But crime and slumlords persisted.
Natural disasters sometimes clear a path for progress, and then-mayor Philip Bredesen posed a challenge to the tornado recovery board: What if they looked beyond the blue tarps and splintered trees and made East Nashville even better than it was? Not just rebuild, but reinvigorate?
In 1998, the city partnered with the AIA to do a four-day charrette with a Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT). Since 1967, R/UDATs have led interventions in more than 140 communities, matching interdisciplinary professionals from around the country with local experts to strategize around a common vision. On the last day, the team presents a published action plan in a public meeting. The program is part of the AIA Center for Communities by Design, which won the 2010 Organization of the Year Award from the International Association for Public Participation.
"The organizers looked at other options to see who could help, and the big reason they chose the R/UDAT was its emphasis on community participation," says Hunter Gee, AIA, principal of Smith Gee Studio, Nashville. He chaired the local steering committee, organized by Carol Pedigo, Hon. AIA, executive director of AIA Middle Tennessee, who also sat on the tornado recovery board. At the time, Gee says, "I was just a young pup that agreed to take on this challenge."
Plans moved swiftly. By September 1998, R/UDAT chair William A. Gilchrist, FAIA, then director of planning, engineering, and permits for Birmingham, Ala., began accompanying host committee members on visits with folks from every sector: bankers, developers, arts organizations, churches, business councils, government officials, social service providers, public housing authorities, and neighborhood associations. The goal was to pave the way for the charrette by inviting people across constituencies to share their ideas.
"Bill came to town and helped us understand the importance of reaching every category of community stakeholder," Gee says. Over the next 10 months, Gilchrist told stories of other R/UDATs, not only to present case histories of the program's effectiveness in rebuilding communities, but also to stress the importance of citizen participation as the first step towards the area's recovery. These accounts were well received and helped garner the necessary $50,000 support for the R/UDAT. (The experts who come to town aren't paid, but there are costs for lodging, transportation, and setting up a design studio.)
On Saturday morning of the four-day workshop that following July, the R/UDAT team convened a forum in a public housing building. "Where we held that meeting was critical," Gilchrist says. "We wanted to make a clear statement about being inclusive. We couldn't have the public housing sector left floating like raisins in pudding."

Preparing for Breastfeeding
I am planning to breastfeed my little one, when he or she gets here later this year. What advice would you give a mum who is preparing to breastfeed for the first time? Should I do anything to prepare my body? I have heard other women say that you need to "toughen" your nipples before birth, is this true? I am also wondering about the experience, does it hurt like some people say?
I really need advice and right now my mum is still pretty upset with me for both getting pregnant and hiding it from her, so I am not really able to ask her about much. I would love any advice you could give.

First of all, congratulations Addy! It is so great to hear a young mum is planning to breastfeed.
With that being said, there is really nothing you should do to prepare your body. Trying to "toughen" up your nipples could lead to infections and pain, detracting from your success as a breastfeeder.
Secondly, if breastfeeding hurts it usually means that there is something wrong, like a latch issue. It should be a positive, non-painful experience. Many mums need a bit of help in the beginning. If you are experiencing pain or other problems, please seek a local lactation consultant for advice.
The best thing you can do now is invest in some good books on the topic and read some of the articles posted in the Breastfeeding section of this website.
There are some great mums here, full of positive advice. I am sure your own mum will come along with time. Just be sure and keep us updated on your progress!

Dear Addy,
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
It must be difficult for you that you can't talk to your mum about everything right now. I'm sure it will get easier but we are also here to support you too.
I think it is great that you want to be prepared to breastfeed. In hindsight, I really wasn't prepared. I didn't realise how often newborn babies feed (this can be every 2 hours, in the day and night) and nor did I realise how long each feed could take (for my son this could be an hour). At first, it can be quite tiring as there is a lot to adapt to with having a newborn baby. Therefore, it is important that you eat and drink frequently and eat nutritious meals.
It is great to also have in mind the huge benefits that breastfeeding brings both baby and mum. There are huge health benefits to your baby including increased immunity to infections such as ear infections, less digestive problems and even long term health benefits. For example, studies show breastfed babies are less likely to be obese in later life. These are just a few of the wonderful benefits of nature's perfect milk for babies! There is also the amazing bond that breast feeding gives mum and baby. For mum, breastfeeding mums are less likely to experience post natal depression and tend to get to their pre-pregnancy weight quicker.
I would say one of the best ways to prepare for breastfeeding is to read plenty of good information on breastfeeding. Also, you could get in contact with your local lactation consultant or at least have their contact details ready in case you experience any problems (my son had a tongue tie with made latching on difficult for him). You could also start attending your local breastfeeding support group - meeting other breastfeeding mums is excellent support.
Your nipples actually need to be soft when you breastfeed rather than being 'hardened up'. You can start rubbing a little lanolin into your nipples in the third trimester. This helps to soften them. Lanolin is a handy moisturiser to have in stock when you are breastfeeding as it helps to prevent cracked nipples. It is also safe for the baby to 'eat' so you don't have to wash it off.
Congratulations again and we look forward to sharing your exciting journey with you here.
Best wishes,

This is very helpful. I however a question regarding to this as well. I am pregnant to my 2nd kid and expecting to give birth last week of September. I planned to breastfeed my first but I was not successful. There are drops coming out but my firstborn does not want the milk coming from my breast. Maybe he cannot learn how to suck it.
What things should I do to make sure that this will not happen to my second?

The best thing you can do to facilitate a positive breastfeeding experience is to get immediate skin-to-skin contact immediately after birth (if baby and mum's health permits). Most babies will latch on immediately, especially following a drug-free labor.
I would look into hiring a doula or consulting with a lactation consultant if possible, as well. Both of these professionals can help you to get a good start which is so very important.
If the baby does not latch immediately, do not give up. Keep working with him. Babies can only hold a few drops of milk during the first day and they generally have lots of extra body fat to sustain them while mum's milk comes in.
Do you have any specific issues? Has your older child been evaluated for a tongue or lip tie? Are your nipples inverted or flat, or do they stick out? These questions can help me to give you more specific advice.
In the meantime, I would recommend you read up on the links that LJ provided the original poster as well.

Thank you so much mom2many. I will check with the hospital if I could hire a lactation consultant (if they provide one).
With regard to your question if I have specific issues, no. Evrything is normal, nipples stick out and not inverted and my eldest does not have issues as well.
I will read more of LJ's post. Thanks so much

Dear cristina_carpio,
That's great that you want to breastfeed your second baby.
I agree with mom2many's comments. Remember that breast milk is made on a 'supply and demand' basis. So the more often your baby is on the breast the more milk you will produce. Our bodies can make enough milk to nurture our babies. It is best if you breastfeed on demand (i.e. put them on the breast whenever they seem to want it day/night) and it is for this reason that many nursing mums choose to safely co-sleep. Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended by WHO (the World Health Organisation) for the first 6 months of life.
As it says above, if you have any problems with breastfeeding then I would advise getting the help of a Lactation Consultant. The biggest difficulty is often getting the latch right; so keep asking for help (from health care professionals and support groups) until you feel comfortable.
Well done on planning to give your baby the very best start in life.
Best wishes,

Hi Cristina,
Congtratulations - 37 weeks - you're almost there! Be sure you watch some really good videos that show how to best position baby on the breast. When baby is positioned properly there should not be any pain.
Here's a good video that shows Dr. Jack Newman assisting mother and baby so that baby gets a good latch and mum is not in pain.

Correct, the leaders ARE the problem, but then so are the people who defend them.
Incidentaly how would you get a one sided deal.......bribery, corruption,coercement, threats, pressure.....seems to me theres a bit of a theme going on and a pattern forming..
As for real crime as you so aptly put it, well you'd actualy have to get out of this forum more often and find out.
In short a real crime is where a man or woman or child suffers real physical injury,loss or harm, everything else is a Statute/Bill/ACT..........and actualy requires consent of the governed to be enforced, unfortuantely most of us do not know it, the founding fathers tried to tell you, and warn you, you just forgot, so did we.
Yes if someone comes in your house and steals from you its........a crime, at least thats what my common sense tells me anyhow.
He definitly deserves to offer the USA some form of recompense, I am not disputing that, but putting the fear of the DEVIL into a man is quite simply evil and certainly dosent go anywhere towards making friends, respect is not got from threat of violence or overwhelming superior firepower all that gets is FEAR, which Im sure you'd agree is counterproductive to human evolution, respect and harmony.
The world is a shit hole because of the actions of a few and personaly I do not think he (Garry McKinnon) is one of them.
When are OUR leaders gonna stand trial for genocide....and lets face it theres at least some compelling evidence...

The Environmental Stewardship Committee created a climate action plan that defines a path toward climate neutrality for the university.
The plan calls for specific action in areas such as energy, transportation, information technology, materials use and human resources.
The Climate Action Plan guides the work of the Environmental Stewardship Committee in creating one-, three- and five-year plans of action and an overall business case for carbon neutrality at UB.
The Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System (STARS) is a transparent, self-reporting framework for colleges and universities to measure their sustainability performance.
STARS was developed by our higher education colleagues and is administered by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE).
Through a course, UB student researchers assist in gathering information from across the university to inform the STARS process and establish the State of UB's Sustainability.
Faculty and staff involved in the process are being engaged throughout the year to ensure clear communication of our efforts.
The STARS report will indicate a number of our strengths, but also areas where we can improve and continue to reduce our environmental footprint on the future.
The American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment calls upon its signatories to become climate neutral by an established date. In early 2007, former UB President John B. Simpson signed the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), adding UB to the list of now more than 670 institutions of higher education nationwide leading society's response to global climate change.

LISTEN: Bingo Players release new track 'Knock You Out'
Listen to Bingo Players on iHeartRadio
Following the death of his other half and partner, Paul Baumer, Maarten Hoogstraten promised fans he would keep Bingo Players going and that new music was on the way in 2014. He wrote on the official website "There is a lot of music that we worked on together before Paul passed away that will be coming out in the next months and years."
Well it looks like we're getting a taste of what Maarten meant. Bingo Players has released the first track of 2014, a song called "Knock You Out." If this is what Maarten has been working on so far .. we can't wait to see what else he has up his sleeve for Bingo Players this year and for years to come.
