Vital Voices' Alyse Nelson Says, "Don't Wait to Lead"
As president and CEO of Vital Voices, Alyse Nelson has more than a few tales of female empowerment to tell. Luckily for us, she just penned a book detailing them.
-Diana Denza
To call Alyse Nelson a female leader would be an understatement. As the globetrotting CEO and president of Vital Voices, she has helped provide thousands of women with the resources and skills necessary to change their communities. And Nelson had some big shoes to fill: this nonprofit was established in 1997 by then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Now, after more than a decade and a half spent serving women, the gal at the helm of Vital Voices is sharing their empowering stories in her brand new book. Titled Vital Voices: The Power of Women Leading Change Around the World and featuring a foreword by Clinton herself, you'll find it difficult not to root for these ladies as they change our world. From Russia to Nigeria and beyond, these women are unapologetically fearless in their mission to uplift their communities. Are you ready for a major dose of inspiration?
Betty Confidential: In her address to the UN's Fourth World Conference on Women, Clinton famously proclaimed that "human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights." How does this statement reflect what you're trying to achieve with your new book?
Alyse Nelson: When Hillary Clinton made that speech almost two decades ago, she was using the language of human rights. Women, who make up about 51 percent of the world's population, had skills that were not being tapped. You couldn't open a paper and read about women leaders around the world. While Hillary's rights based argument was groundbreaking, Vital Voices seeks to take this framework another step forward into economics. Economics and rights are interconnected. We are saying that women are untapped forces for economic growth and we bring something fresh to the table. Women's style of leadership is collaborative and inclusive, and the world needs female leaders.
BC: How has Clinton inspired you on your quest with Vital Voices?
AN: Hillary Clinton really embodies this new style of leadership. I first heard her speak at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China in 1995. I was 21 years old and she was inspiring. Hillary was able to use her voice and power as First Lady to empower other people. Human trafficking and micro-finance were issues that are now commonplace, but people didn't really know much about them then. Hearing her speak made me realize that I have a voice. I may not be as powerful or have as big a platform, but I can help shine a spotlight on what women do. Passion and conviction are core to leading. Women leaders don't just have dreams for themselves, but a vision for their communities.
BC: How has Vital Voices changed under your leadership as president and CEO?
AN: The biggest way we've grown is that we've tripled our size over the past three years. Our mission in investing in women and women's leadership, however, has never changed. It has always been our top priority. The lessons we've learned from these women are a part of our DNA. As an organization, we have been shaped and melded by what these women have taught us.

description: February 26, 2010—After dropping dead pigs into the sea and watching via Webcams, researchers were "very surprised" to see marine scavengers risk low–oxygen waters for a meal.

transcript:
Sometimes a scientific study reveals things that were never expected to be part of the discovery.
While conducting forensic studies on human decomposition, scientists in Canada found deep sea dwelling animals taking a chance and going after a pig carcass where oxygen is at extremely low levels.
Pigs are used in decomposition studies because they are anatomically similar to humans.
The 4th pig deployment in the study was the most dramatic, recorded in the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia.
Several six-gill sharks annihilated the carcass, eliminating it within a day at more than 900 feet below sea level.
It’s at depths like this that oxygen drops to very low levels, leading to the term “dead zones”. In recent years, dead zones are occurring more frequently in many areas of the oceans.
The lead researcher, Verena Tunnicliffe of the University of Victoria, said the scientists were very surprised to see how far animals pushed their limits to go after an enticing meal.
In this video recorded in British Columbia’s Saanich Inlet, the first animal on the scene was a squat lobster. Over several days, scientists observed more squat lobsters coming for a meal, as well as crabs and shrimp. This pig carcass was devoured by the 23rd day.
According to Dr. Tunnicliffe, the pigs used in this study, coordinated with Canada’s VENUS project, were originally raised for market. They were euthanized humanely under strict government regulations.
The findings were presented at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union in Portland, Oregon this week.
The scavenger animals usually hang out at shallower depths, where oxygen levels are higher. But the pig carcasses attracted a daring crowd.
If the crabs, squat lobsters and other animals stay too long in oxygen-depleted waters, they will suffocate.
One pig in the experiment sat untouched for nearly 2 months, apparently because the oxygen level was too low to support the hungry scavengers.
The findings will help scientists in their study of other locations, such as the Mississippi Delta, where fertilizer in upstream agricultural runoff lowers oxygen levels.
The so-called dead zones also diminish the success of fishermen’s attempts at catching shrimp, crab and other commercial species.

Stratégie de PICUM Concernant les Femmes Migrantes Sans-papiers
Keywords: Undocumented Women
Because of their irregular status, undocumented women are highly susceptible to violations of their most fundamental human rights. Gender discrimination increases migrant women's likelihood to suffer from violations of their human rights and when combined with an irregular status, contributes to a worrying culture of impunity within the European Union.
In Europe, the increased linkage between migration control mechanisms and access to basic services means that undocumented migrant women experience numerous barriers to empowerment. In many countries they are unable to access health care, obtain social assistance and may face arrest or deportation if they make contact with the police to report violence or abuse.
This policy-driven exclusion and removal of social protection serves as a significant barrier to undocumented migrant women's meaningful participation in society. Such policies risk compounding gender inequalities existing in our society and further marginalising migrant communities.
By investigating their situation regarding access to health care and education, fair working conditions, exposure to and ability to report violence and exploitation, PICUM hopes to support local initiatives active in the protection and empowerment of undocumented women and raise awareness at policy level regarding the discrimination, abuse and ill-treatment these women are facing in Europe.
Key concerns for PICUM on undocumented women
- THE RIGHT TO HEALTH is a fundamental human right and key to the realisation of other rights.
As a result of their urgent health needs throughout their lifecycle, undocumented migrant women are disproportionately affected by policies which limit care on the basis of immigration status. Across Europe, undocumented women are denied access to essential healthcare services including family planning, pre and post-natal care and intravenous treatment for pregnant women with HIV/AIDS.
PICUM will highlight undocumented migrant women's right to health and identify policies and practices across the EU which improve their access to sexual and reproductive health care.
- PROTECTION FROM VIOLENCE is essential to the achievement of a decent standard of living.
The migration policies existing in Europe are often insensitive to the needs of women and may actually increase their chances of becoming undocumented. Many women migrating to Europe find their immigration status is dependent on the goodwill of an employer or spouse, while claims for asylum on grounds of gender-based violence are likely to be refused. Across the EU, undocumented women face multiple legal and structural barriers which prevent their access to essential services such as health, education, housing and workplace protection. Despite this increased exposure to ill-treatment, they risk deportation if they contact the police, are denied access to women's shelters and are unable to obtain financial assistance granted to victims of violence. With nowhere to turn to for help, undocumented women remain disproportionately vulnerable to physical and sexual abuse, 'honour' killings and trafficking for forced labour or sex.
PICUM will seek to empower undocumented women by increasing awareness of the humanitarian concerns surrounding their unprotected status and encouraging accountability for violations and abuses against them.
- THE RIGHT TO FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS is vital to ensuring the protection of female workers who are prone to multiple forms of discrimination.
Despite the increased feminisation of labour migration, the needs of female workers are often under addressed by policy makers. As a result, many undocumented women find themselves limited to the low-wage sector, employed in care work, domestic work, agricultural and cleaning positions. Women employed in these isolated work environments face additional barriers to access their workplace rights; employers often have the power to withhold their passports and it is more difficult for them to find solidarity with other workers. Nonetheless, undocumented women are taking action to assert their workplace rights and an increasing number of actors are promoting recognition of this group in the workforce.
PICUM will mainstream the specific concerns of undocumented women in its rights-based approach to ackling labour-based exploitation through the empowerment of workers.
PICUM's Women's Strategy Leaflet is available in pdf in nine languages:
English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian and Arabic.

The Obama administration on Friday released more than 700 pages of new regulations to implement portions of the Affordable Care Act.
The four rules, which are scheduled for publication in mid-March, finalize both major and minor parts of the healthcare reform law that Congress passed in 2010.
Three of the regulations are final and roll out the multistate healthcare exchanges and reforms to the insurance market, including provisions to encourage cost-sharing, stabilize health insurance premiums and prevent providers from denying coverage.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said the rules would "help to ensure that every American has access to high-quality, affordable health insurance."
The rules will become effective on May 11, and HHS will take comments on an interim final regulation regarding cost-savings programs and government risk pooling for 60 days after those rules are published.

Although there is no core to unite the Chūbu region into a single functional unit, it constitutes a coherent geomorphological whole. Its major configuration is formed by the overlapping of the Northeast, Southwest, and Shichito-Mariana mountain arcs. The mountains, lowlands, and volcanic zones intersect the general trend of Honshu almost at right angles. Structural examples are the trend of the Akaishi, Kiso, and Hida (Japanese Alps) ranges; the lowland of the Fossa Magna rift; and the Fuji Volcanic Zone. Honshu attains its greatest width of 174 miles (280 km) in the Fossa Magna and its greatest height of 12,388 feet (3,776 m) in Mount Fuji.
Chūbu region may be divided into three distinct subregions. The Hokuriku area along the Sea of Japan (East Sea) includes Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui prefectures. It is generally referred to as Ura Nihon ("Reverse Japan") because of the gloom and snow of its winter weather. Industrial developments include aluminum smelting and fertilizer production.
Tosan—consisting of the inland prefectures of Yamanashi, Nagano, and Gifu—was the sericultural (silkworm-raising) centre of Japan before World War II. In addition to rice, fruit and mulberry trees are grown; the major manufactures are precision instruments. The area's high mountains and deep gorges are a source of hydroelectric power and an attraction to tourists.
Tokai, or Omote Nihon ("Obverse Japan"), is composed of Shizuoka and Aichi prefectures. The climate contrasts with that of Hokuriku, being characterized by windy, bright winters. Since the early 20th century the area has experienced rapid industrial and urban growth under the influence of Ōsaka, supported by the establishment of a modernized transportation system. Its phenomenal growth is typified by that of Nagoya, the capital of Aichi prefecture and one of Japan's leading industrial centres. Pop. (19902007 est.) 21,020819,552000.

How to discipline a very hyper child?
My daughter is 1 year and 4 months and seems to be very active, run around the house like a ballistic monkey.
When i tried puling her and making a straight conversation she won't just listen instead making fun of her face and joggling around. How am I suppose to start a normal conversation with her when she is not paying much attention, or i it too early for implementing rules on that age.?
14th August 2014 06:30 AM #2
Your daughter sounds thoroughly normal to me . One year olds are learning to explore the world - they want to be everywhere all of the time. We need to make sure they are safe but allow them the maximum opportunities for exploration, fun and adventure.
If you are finding this stage difficult then you may find that attending toddler groups (particularly active ones like toddler gymnastics, toy libraries or music and movement groups) help you to structure your day. If you can 'baby proof' your house as far as possible (using stair-gates, plug socket blockers, cupboard locks etc) then you will also find it easier to relax as your daughter continues her development and explores the world.
Yes I would say that this age is too young for any kind of discipline. However, when it is the right age to begin disciplining your child then here on this forum we really believe gentle discipline is the way to go for bringing up our children. Please have a read of this previous thread on gentle discipline.
Warm wishes,

I also think its normal for your child to behave that given that age. Well, what worked for me was the reward and punishment. It would be good to teach your child this manner lesson in a subtle way. Like for example your child did wrong, take one possession or activity away from her (of course you have to inform her beforehand that if she does wrong this item/activity will be taken from her). Or you can opt to doing the reinforcing good behaviour strategy. Don't forget to praise your child whenever she does good. this way her energy or active behaviour would be directed to doing good and its a win-win situation for you.

Arcadia, CA, March 29 -- The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby is little more than a month away, and HRTV (R) will take an in-depth retrospective on one of the most stunning Derbys of all-time when its Media Eclipse Award-winning documentary show, Inside Information, premieres Inside Information: 2009 Kentucky Derby on Sunday, April 1 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The half-hour documentary will offer racing fans a historical look back at the entire field, highlighting the improbable, shocking victory by Mine That Bird, a rank outsider in the field who closed strongly, storming up the rail over Churchill Downs' sloppy track to post a shocking win.
The gelding paid $103.20 to his backers -- the second highest winning price in the fabled race's history. Additionally, Mine That Bird's winning margin was 6 3/4 lengths -- the largest in 60 years.
Jockey Calvin Borel's rail-skimming ride aboard Mine That Bird further solidified his stature as one of the sport's top riders, as well as forever stamping his stature in Derby history. Inside Information: 2009 Kentucky Derby will offer new interviews with Borel, Mine That Bird's likeable, unassuming trainer, Chip Woolley, as well as Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert, whose trainee, Pioneerofthenile, finished second in the 2009 Derby.
Also featured in the show are Garrett Gomez (Pioneerofthenile's jockey), as well as the intriguing story of owner-trainer Tom McCarthy, a former school teacher and principal, who reached the pinnacle of the sport when he started General Quarters, winner of the Bluegrass Stakes, in the 2009 Derby.
Inside Information: 2009 Kentucky Derby will also provide updates on a pair of other Derby 2009 starters -- Mr. Hot Stuff and Advice.

Sabres streaking in opposite direction
'"It's a big relief to finally win some games," said Satan, who had two assists. "Hopefully, we get confidence and continue to play this way."'
Pominville receives gift of NHL playing time
'"I thought he played a safe game," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "I would like to have seen him skate more, but for a first game I thought he held his own."'
One Is Not Enough For Misfiring Caps
'"We had our chances tonight, but we couldn't get the puck to go in," right wing Mike Grier said. "We had the puck in their zone a lot; we just didn't get it on net enough."'
Caps come up short thanks to mistakes, inept offense
'Peter Bondra scored Washington's only goal (on his only shot) and hit two pipes but the Sabres held a commanding 40-22 advantage in shots. Actually, what hurt the Caps was taking the second period off — they had two shots and one was a gift — as the Sabres, winners of one of their last nine games, were minus their leading scorer.'
Caps Report
'The Caps did not set a record for fewest penalties in a game by both teams but came close. Washington and Buffalo combined for three minor infractions, two by the visitors, one more than the team record.'
Early mistake starts Caps to 3-1 loss
'"That first goal was something we didn't expect," added Satan, who tied the game at 1 and later assisted on both the game-winner by Daniel Briere in the third period and an empty-net insurance goal by Jochen Hecht. "It gave us a chance to start over again and we took it."'
Buffalo 3, Washington 1
'The Buffalo Sabres had a simple game plan, one that worked to near perfection: Don't do anything stupid.'
Buffalo 3, Washington 1
'"The thing that's most impressive was that we had a couple of key players out of the lineup, two of your top three in the points department,'' Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. "The guys stuck with it, played hard and got rewarded.'''
Satan Plays Cap Killer In 3-1 Buffalo Win
'Head Coach Lindy Ruff made the decision to move Satan up a line to play with Daniel Briere and Jochen Hecht in place of injured J.P. Dumont. It was a good move for Buffalo as each of the players scored a goal in the win, with Satan in on every goal.'
Sabres break out with some Holiday Cheer
Lindy Ruff is breathing a little easier these days. His players gave him a Christmas present that may have saved his job, for the rest of 2003 anyway. After losing seven straight games, which included four straight at home, the Buffalo Sabres tied Ottawa Tuesday and then beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 Friday night.
Sabres feel the agony of victory
'Dumont initially thought his season was over. "It was really scary out there," Dumont said. "But when the doctor told me it wasn't out (of joint), that was good news."'
Praise for Pominville
'"Others have had the opportunity to do the job and they haven't," he said. "He's very intuitive. He knows where to be."'
Canes fall again
'The game was another wasted effort by goalie Kevin Weekes. It was another exercise in futility for an offense that has the substance of a Paris Hilton reality show.'
Buffalo 3, Carolina 1
'"It actually happened the shift before,'' Dumont said. "I went for a rebound and fell on my hip. I thought it was just a bruise. After the faceoff, I tried to go around the guy and I felt it pull again. It was very painful.'''

Scholastic & PBC Schools Tout the Importance of Early Reading
We continue our focus on the importance of having your children read at a very young age. Debbie Battles, who's in charge of the curriculum at all Palm Beach County elementary schools, tells us "School readiness is crucial and not necessarily that the children have to know how to read, but that they're ready for school."
Here's a tip to get your child into learning: "The parents really need to hype up the positives and talk about how exciting school is and then of course reading to their children everyday and getting them to begin reading the words that they know and just making reading part of their life."
One problem that is plaguing our local elementary schools?
"School attendance is huge and our district has really recognized that and has kicked off a campaign 'You Have to be Present to Win'. The statistics are staggering with the connection of school attendance and chronic absenteeism, connecting to school proficiency down the road."
Here is a stat that may surprise you: "26.4 percent of elementary students in our district missed ten or more days of school last year." That's considered chronic absenteeism.
Back to reading.
There are Scholastic Book Fairs going on at schools throughout Palm Beach County during the month of October.
Scholastic now has an app to enhance your experience. The free app for the iPhone and Android phones provides you with additional book details such as author videos, award winners and podcasts. If you're not sure whether a book is age appropriate for your child, you can simply scan a book cover or barcode at the Book Fair to find out. The app will give you details on reading levels, age and grade, book summary and price.

Failed to be a good mother because I have a naughty son
As far as I remember I tried everything to be the best mother for my son.I am a single parent and I tried my best to give all his needs.As a working mother I have more hours spent at work than at home so my son is always with my parents and my sister who is living with us. I've tried reading books on how to raise a child alone but it didn't work out. My son still turn out to be very naughty.Does the people's attitude that surrounds him affect him to be stubborn?or having a broken family does?
12th October 2013 06:46 AM #2
Dear Harvi,
You have not failed to be a good mother. You are a good mother. I have been reading your posts and you care very deeply for your son and want to do the best for him. All children push boundaries at times and may behave in a way we are not happy with. This certainly does not make you a bad mother it simply makes you a normal mother.
It does sound like you have a busy life and I'm sure that (in light of your other posts) things can get stressful at times. It can be difficult for children who have more than one set of carers. In your son's case he is cared for by: yourself, your sister and your grandparents (I hope I have understood this correctly). I think what is important here is to make it clear to everyone that you are his only parent and so you must decide how you want to parent your son. It is great that your family are there to help you with your son but they must listen to, and respect, your parenting style in terms of things like discipline and the way you interact with your son.
Do you think your son could be getting mixed messages from his different carers? Consistency is so important when it comes to parenting and if he is given different boundaries from each of his carers then he is more likely to not respect any of these boundaries as it will be confusing for him.
Children that come from broken families are unfortunately more likely to have behavioural problems due to the emotions they are dealing with. Have you been able to talk to your son about his father? There are many good books aimed at children themselves which deal with the feeling caused by living away from their father or mother.
I would recommend asking your sister and parents to also read through and understand the gentle parenting resources I have linked to in my reply to your previous post.
We are here to support you on this forum. Please post back any further questions you have and if you feel that some of the recommendations that i have given above could be useful.
Warm wishes,

Thank You for your response,
Yes , after i read your message I talk to him seriously about how he felt about his father being away from him and he told it doesn't affect him and I repeat the question again twice but I got the same answer and He told me that for him he's thinking that he's already dead.I even ask him where did he get that Idea.and tell me back that In his own idea.
Yes, I am a very busy mother as I am the bread winner and I am preparing for his future.Hes the sweetest for me.He wanted to hug me all the time and he wanted so much time..whenever i stop playing with him it's the time he gets angry and pull my hair or slap my..I don't have the Idea where he got those act.Is Computer games affecting him too?If Im around I refrain him from playing computer games as He forget everything if hes playing.(I mean too much concentration on games and forget eating, if ill call his name,he dont respond) .
Thank you !
Your advise is great help!
15th October 2013 05:36 AM #4
Dear Harvi,
I am glad that you are finding this helpful and I hope you are able to believe that you are a good mother.
I think that any young child who says he thinks of his father as already dead has clearly been deeply affected emotionally by the absence of his father. Is he unable to see his father at all? There is some useful information by the Children's Charity the NSPCC here about 'Changing Families' where the general advice given is this:
'There is strong evidence that in almost every situation, it's in the child's best interests to maintain contact with both of their parents – and their grandparents too. Having a healthy relationship with both parents contributes to children's emotional wellbeing.'
Of course, there will be some family setups where it is very sadly impossible for the children to continue seeing both of their parents (for example, if one parent blocks contact with their children or in the cases of abuse).
As your son is currently not able to have good contact with his dad I think you should expect the emotional consequences of this to be seen negatively in his behaviour. I would talk to all those who care for him about this and explain that he is very likely to have extra issues settling away from you, and controlling his behaviour at times, because of the lack of his father in his life. This is unfortunately likely to be heightened by the fact that he has to spend so much time away from you.
I think the way he wants to be physically close to you, and his anger when he cannot do this, is your son showing that he feels insecure and confused. Does he have a daily and weekly routine? I think structure will help him when he is finding things difficult. It may also help to create a chart which explains clearly to him (perhaps with the help of pictures and stickers) at which times of the day he will spend quality time with you. You are his mum; so you are his world. He needs to feel that his time with you is protected and that it is quality time when you will not be called away to do something else or to see someone else.
I think you are right to limit computer games. Research shows that it is best for children aged 5-6 to have no more than 45 minutes - 1 hour of 'screen time' a day. More than this can have a detrimental effect on their behaviour. If possible, I would try to keep it at 20-30 minutes a day and substitute time when he would have been on the computer for outside activities and walks with you.
Does he eat a healthy balanced diet? This too can have a huge affect on behaviour.
To conclude, I would take a very gentle approach with your son. It sounds like he has had to deal with a lot of changes in his family setup already at such a young age and he needs time and attention to help him deal with this. Try to build protected, quality, mum-to-son time into each day and talk to him about this in advance.
We are here for you on this forum.
Thinking of you,

Hi LJ,
Good to hear from you again
Its been 3 years since he last saw his father.And Yes! we don't have any contacts from him.
He don't have Daily routine and Thank You for that idea.I will plan for that one as soon as possible.Including that chart with pictures.I was away for work for almost a year that only communicates us is through Skype.
For almost a year, He's doing computer games most of his times as his guardians could only console him with computer games with his longings to me. Now, I cut it totally and hes having his undesirable behavior whenever Hes refrain from using the computer.
About eating habits .How does this affect his behavior? I think I have to focus also in this area as he is very picky in food that he wants to eat.
Thank you for your constant support,
30th October 2013 06:37 AM #6
Dear Harvi,
I'm so sorry and shocked to read that you had to be away from your son working for almost a year. I cannot imagine how heart-breaking that would have been for both of you. It is going to take some time for your son to feel secure and confident that you are physically close to him again.
Yes there is now a huge body of research that shows that food can affect our children's behaviour. Here is an excellent resource on food and children's behaviour from the Australian Healthy Food Guide.
What does your son eat for breakfast? Eating a good breakfast with slow-releasing energy food is vital to a child's development and well-being. Porridge with fruit mixed in (made with whole milk) gives children a super start to the day.
It is important that your son eats plenty of Iron and Zinc throughout the day from foods such as: cereals, soya, baked beans and dairy. This is in addition to omega-3 which can be found in fish (particularly oily fish), eggs and red meat.
Please do write back with more details about your son's diet so we can help support you with this further.
Warm wishes,

Kearns • Guy Thibault has worn these shoes before.
The former Canadian Olympic speedskater walked into the fire back in 1998, when he assumed head coaching duties of his homeland's short-track speedskating program.
There were feuding factions. There was seething discontentment. Then there was Thibault, who was thrust into the position of mending a high-profile Olympic program on the fly.
He made it work.
Thibault, who was hired as the new U.S. short-track head coach on Dec. 4, went on to lead Canada for eight years through two Olympic Winter Games and walked away having sewn up the deep cuts of a program once in dishevelment.
Fourteen years later, Thibault is choosing to do it all over again. He was on hand Friday at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns to see stars Lana Gehring and J.R. Celski each win the 1,500- and 500-meter races to earn spots on the winter World Cup team.
"It's not new to me," said Thibault. "It will take time, but I'm not here to change the world I'm here to help the skaters."
He'll be taking over head-coaching duties of the U.S. short-track program following this weekend's U.S. Short-Track Championships, a program left in shambles months after a scandal basically split the program in two, eventually forcing the resignation of former head coach Jae Su Chun and his assistant, Jun Hyung Yeo.
Chun and Yeo resigned from their posts with U.S. Speedskating after admitting that they knew American skater Simon Cho tampered with a skate of a fellow racer in last year's world championship races in Poland and kept it under wraps. Chun has also been accused of mental and physical abuse by many skaters within the U.S. short-track program during his time served as coach, but an independent investigation found no pattern of abuse.
Now, Thibault faces the enormous task of preparing a program that has won 85 Olympic medals just 14 months away from the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
His first order of business, like it was back in Canada in 1998, is to try to find a common ground between the groups of skaters who still favor Chun and Yeo and those who were glad to see the former coaches move on.
"I think Guy is going to be a bridge-builder," said Mark Greenwald, executive director of U.S. Speedskating. "If we can keep our skates off the soft ice, we'll be in the right place come 14 months from now."
Thibault said the relationship he and Chun have is a healthy one and that the two will work together when it comes to bettering the future of the program and its skaters. Chun and Yeo have become volunteer coaches at a new speedskating club called Salt Lake International and some of the U.S. Speedskating's top athletes, including Jessica Smith and Gehring, have followed them to continue their tutelage.
"I want these guys to be part of this, too," Thibault said of Chun and Yeo. "I'm not here to compete with them. I want what's best for the skaters."
According to Greenwald, Jessica Smith and J.R. Celski were just some of the people involved with the interview process, as the two represented the athletes on the panel.
"At the end of the day, we need somebody in the coach's box at the Olympics," said Smith, adding that she will continue to train with Chun. "[U.S. Speedskating] ended up choosing Guy, and that's the story."
While that may be the case, Greenwald said the program must be wary of how much involvement there is going forward as the former U.S. coaches are currently under sanctions banning the pair from coaching at international events through the Sochi Games.
"People try to solve problems with a shotgun, when what they need is a scalpel," Greenwald said. "We need to be very careful. We only have 14 months before the Olympic Games. We can't afford major setbacks. We need to regroup."
Up until last week, Thibault was serving as a high-performance adviser for the German Speedskating Federation. It just so happened that his contract expired this month, and when he saw the short-track job was open a few weeks ago, he consulted with his wife before he decided to apply.
When asked about his first message to each group of skaters with particular loyalties, Thibault shrugged.
"I don't care where you are [training]," he said, "I want to make this work."

Case Analysis Summaries
Muwekma Ohlone Tribe v. Salazar, No. 11-5328, 2013 WL 765009 (D.C. Cir. March 1, 2013).
Adam J. Holcomb
In Muwekma Ohlone Tribe v. Salazar, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied the Muwekma's petition to order the Secretary of the Interior to recognize it as an Indian tribe. This case is significant because the Muwekma were previously a federally recognized Indian tribe, but, unlike other similarly situated tribes, they were not allowed to enjoy a summary process to re-attain recognition. The circuit court held the Muwekma case is distinguishable from other cases where previously recognized tribes enjoyed an easier road to recognition because the interaction between Muwekma members and the federal government did not equate to interaction on a government-to-government basis.

Original journalism from the Center's OpenSecrets Blog
Moody Downgrades, BP Returns and More in Capital Eye Opener: Sept. 23
September 23, 2011 | Moody's evaluation was meant to be apolitical. But Moody's itself doesn't stay above the fray. Last year, the company spent $1.5 million on federal lobbying, and during the first half of this year, it spent $610,000.
BP Continues to Increase Donations to Federal Political Candidates
June 18, 2011 | Oil company BP continues its slow climb out of political purgatory, as its political action committee on Friday reported donating thousands of dollars in May to federal-level politicians hailing from a variety of states.
Tea Party Caucus Members Bankrolled by Health Professionals, Retirees, Oil Interests
July 30, 2010 | A Center for Responsive Politics analysis shows that the biggest contributors to the 49 members of the newly-established congressional Tea Party caucus -- it so far includes only Republican -- are health professionals, retired individuals, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. Furthermore, donations from health professionals, oil and gas interests and Republican and conservative groups are, on average, higher for Tea Party caucus members than for members of the House of Representatives in general and even their fellow House Republicans.
Company Behind Exploded Gas Pipeline Stepping Up K Street Presence This Year, Owner a Major GOP Donor
June 8, 2010 | The company that owns a pipeline that exploded Monday in north Texas, Houston-based Enterprise Products Company, is on pace spent more on federal lobbying this year than any other year they've lobbied the federal government, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of lobbying reports.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).
Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense Committees
February 12, 2009 | The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
Money Wins Presidency and 9 of 10 Congressional Races in Priciest U.S. Election Ever
November 5, 2008 | The historic election of 2008 re-confirmed one truism about American democracy: Money wins elections. From the top of the ticket, where Barack Obama declined public financing for the first time since the system's creation and went on to amass a nearly two-to-one monetary advantage over John McCain, to congressional races throughout the nation, the candidate with the most money going into Election Day emerged victorious in nearly every contest.
Races to Watch IV: Money Flowing from Oil and Gas
September 29, 2008 | The oil and gas industry, under the spotlight this fall with energy at the forefront of political discourse, isn't hesitating to put some of its record profits into the hands of candidates who support its cause (or those it's seeking to convert). So far this election cycle, the oil and gas industry has given $12.3 million total to congressional candidates. The nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics has identified the candidates who have received the most money from oil and gas interests in this election cycle, and Capital Eye selected a few races to more deeply examine the impact of well-digger dollars on politics.
Races to Watch I: Challengers Outraising Incumbents
September 24, 2008 | With few exceptions, incumbents will out-raise their challengers--so far this election cycle, incumbents for Congress have raised nine times more than their challengers, on average, and there is not a single Senate race where the challenger has raised more money than the sitting senator. Although challengers aren't winning the money race on the Senate side, the Center for Responsive Politics has identified 14 House races where the challenger surpassed the incumbent in fundraising after the most recent reporting period, through June.

text: Hello, I'm using Prime31's UIToolkit to create the user interface and HUD of my iOS game. All was working fine until last week when suddenly I would get horrible lag bursts whenever I moved or updated an interface element, which you can see in this image, but only when running on the iPhone 4 or lower, on PC and the iPad 2 it's fine. (So, moving the joystick thumb, or updating a button with the "pressed" image for example will cause horrible stuttering.) I've already tried rolling back my project to an earlier version yet the problem remains, so it must be caused by some change in Unity or iOS. I've tracked down the slowdown to updating the procedural mesh used for the UI. Even with only a few vertices the slow down still happens, and if I comment out the "mesh.vertices = tempVertices" assignment the slow down goes away (and the mesh isn't updated, of course), so my bottleneck isn't on the generation of the new vertex data, but on Unity's update. Anyone knows what's up? I've been banging my head on this for days now.

In modern electronic devices such as digital cameras, mobile phones, portable gaming consoles, laptops or netbooks, micro-optical systems are decisive interfaces between the real world and the microelectronics of the image sensor inside a camera module. At present, the general concept of a camera module assembly undergoes a transition from discrete assembly to wafer-level integration using well-established semiconductor technologies. Wafer-level cameras have already started to replace conventional modules due to smaller form factors and lower cost performance ratios.
Wafer level cameras (WLCs) are devices in which all the individual parts are fabricated at wafer level and are then bonded to form one single part consisting of a CMOS image sensor (CIS) and a micro-optics stack enhancing the light capture efficiency of the camera.
UV imprint lithography, originally developed for cost-efficient replication of structures in the nanometer range, is now considered a powerful tool for the fabrication of wafer-level optics in highly parallel mass fabrication processes.
EV Group offers manufacturers a complete range of solutions, including master stamp fabrication, replication and integration of optical elements at wafer level based on its well-established mask alignment and nanoimprint lithography systems. Its product portfolio is highly versatile, enabling customers to implement highly customized hardware and software processes. Coupled with process development and optimization in EV Group's cleanroom facilities, EV Group provides a total solution from system configuration and fabrication to process integration and material know-how.
Elements of a typical wafer-level camera module include a CMOS image sensor, polymeric lenses molded onto glass carriers by UV imprint lithography, spacers and aperture layers, as shown in this exploded view. Source: EVG.

To do effective stretching exercises, hold each stretch for
at least 15 to 30 seconds. Don't bounce while you stretch. Just relax and
breathe freely.
It's a good idea to do these stretches on both
legs, even if you only have problems with one of your Achilles tendons. Stretch
one leg first, and then the other.
The next three exercises are often done in a progression
(meaning you do the most gentle exercise for a few days, then move on to the
more vigorous exercises). Start with the calf-plantar fascia stretch and then
move on to the calf chair stretch and the stair stretch. Talk to your health
professional about how long you should do each one before moving on to the next
This stretch can also be done with your knee slightly

Tennessee parents angry over high school curriculum
WKRN, Nashville News, Nashville Weather and Sports
Several Williamson County parents are asking for the school district to take a closer look at a book being used in a high school class.
The textbook is used in a Human Geography class which studies the world, its people, communities and cultures.
However, some parents fear students are being exposed to questionable content.
"[The book states] that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PLO are called 'political parties' in the book when our own state department classifies them as terrorist organizations," parent Hugh Nemets told Nashville's News 2.

The Reds have no chance at all, even if they tried, in the Santana sweepstakes. Lets set our sights on candidates that are more realistic.
Just read where the D'Backs are seriously looking at Haren.
Say you are looking for a frontline starting pitcher. An ace. Somebody capable of helping to lead your team into the playoffs. You could back up your organization's truck and offer two Grade A prospects and a couple of Grade B prospects and call the Minnesota Twins about Johan Santana. And if you arrange a conditional deal with the Twins, you would have the opportunity to try to convince Santana to waive his no-trade clause. That could cost you merely the largest salary for any pitcher in the history of baseball: six years, $150 million, on top of the $13.25 million he is owed for next season.
Or you could back up the organization's truck and offer three or four prospects for Oakland's Dan Haren. No strings attached, no no-trade clause. And here's the really good news: You would have to pay Haren just $4 million for 2008, $5.5 million for 2009, and he has a $6.75 million option for 2010. So not only would you have a great pitcher on the cheap for three years, you'd have cost certainty, the flexibility of not being locked into a long-term deal -- and you could spend cash that you would've had to spend on Santana to fill other needs.
Oakland executives began meeting this week to discuss what they will ask in trade for Haren, and if they decide to trade him -- a sign that the Athletics are committed to a long-term rebuilding effort -- well, it would make sense for them to trade Joe Blanton and closer Huston Street, as well. Haren is well aware of the possibility that he will be involved in a deal. "I read a lot of the stuff that's written on the Internet about me getting traded," he wrote in a text message Monday, "and it's definitely something I'm prepared for. When I was traded from the Cardinals [following the 2004 World Series] I was Christmas shopping, and it's getting to be that time of year now. From what I have read, I think [GM Billy Beane] is trying to figure out if Oakland is going to rebuild. Our team is good enough to win now if we were healthy, but that hasn't been the case lately. "I am not hoping I get traded because I love the Bay area. My home is here and I'm close to my family. But if it happens, it happens. I understand baseball."
Right now, Haren could not yet be considered an equal to Santana. The Twins' lefty has won two Cy Young Awards, and has four straight seasons of 235 or more strikeouts. He is an incredible athlete and has a tremendous feel for his changeup, all of which bodes well for the possibility that he will continue to be successful into his 30s. But over the last three years, Haren has averaged 221 innings, and last season he went 15-9, 3.07 and walked 55 in 222 2/3 innings, while striking out 192. Opponents had an OPS of .687. Haren is 27 years and two months old. Santana will be 29 years old when he throws his first pitch next season, and he is coming off a season in which he went 15-13 with a 3.33 ERA, with 52 walks and 235 strikeouts in 219 innings. Opponents compiled an OPS of .678 against him, virtually identical to that of Haren. If all of the players in the majors were put up for a draft, Santana would get picked ahead of Haren. But this situation is weighted heavily; when you stack up the price for Santana -- the cost in prospects, his salary, his forthcoming contract demands -- against the price of Haren, with his dirt-cheap salary and a contract that runs on for three more seasons, the question of who is a better value is a no-brainer. Haren would simply be a more cost-effective acquisition. And there's another option, if you're a team comfortable with the notion of spending $25 million a year on Santana (or C.C. Sabathia, who, like Santana, will be eligible to become a free agent after next year). You could trade the prospects to Oakland for Haren and gamble on the possibility that Santana and/or Sabathia will be free agents after next season, when you could sign one of the left-handers. You could have both Haren and Santana for basically the same price for which you could get only Santana now (minus the $15.25 million Haren will make over the next three years). Executives with rival teams are split about what they think is going to happen. "It's going to be very tough for Minnesota to trade him, because with [Francisco] Liriano coming back, they have a chance to win in 2008," said a major league assistant GM. "And I think the union is going to want Santana to push the market on salaries. If he takes a deal for $20 million a year, then everybody will slot in kind of where they are now, at $17 million or $18 million a year. But if he gets $25 million a year, then the market will be pulled up behind him, with the better guys getting $21-22 million." An AL GM is convinced Santana is going to be traded, and that when push comes to shove, the current asking price of $25 million a year in an extension can be negotiated down. "If somebody offers you six or seven years and $130-$140 million, how do you say no to that?" he asked rhetorically. "Especially a pitcher, whose entire career can change with one pitch -- one blown elbow." But no matter what happens with Santana, the Athletics are in a position now in which they can plow in the wake of the Santana trade talks and offer up the much more reasonably priced alternatives of Haren and Blanton.

text: Back in January, Johnny Weir was arrested after his husband claimed that Johnny bit him during an argument. How did he get close enough to bite him. If you are fighting with someone you want them away from you so they can't hurt you. If they are close enough where they can bite you then you are wrestling more than anything. Johnny could have just been trying some new figure skating move while Tara Lipinski provided commentary. Whatever the reason, Johnny and his husband were in court yesterday and both wanted the charges dropped. The judge agreed and the pair walked out free while Johnny landed a perfect triple sow cow. Can you do a triple sow cow? Why do most of the figure skating moves sound like they could also be Starbucks orders?
