Green Tea: visually pleasing, tasty Asian food
Green Tea Japanese and Asian Bistro is the latest in a series of incarnations -- all Asian -- at 470 Main St. in Ridgefield. An advantage of this restaurant's choice location is that customers can enter via the Yankee Ridge shopping center, where there's plenty of parking.
Previously the spot was known as Maru, Junmai and Koo. As before, the cuisine is extensive and includes sushi, sashimi, Chinese, Japanese and Southeast Asian dishes.
Green Tea has two inviting bars -- one for sushi and the other for cocktails. There also are round tables and banquettes, so any size party will be comfortable.
The furniture is dark against lavender walls that display multidimensional artwork made from natural items, such as twigs. The dark decor is brightened by recessed lighting.
Trendy touches include a steel-mesh curtain used as a decorative room separator and a fully populated koi fish tank by the entrance.
I went for dinner on a recent Sunday and enjoyed the jazz playing in the background. Since I hadn't eaten lunch, I planned on ordering appetizers and dessert, in addition to an entree.
My date and I shared two main dishes, both freshly prepared and tasty, though we both felt their exceptional element had more to do with the harmonious presentation of the food.
I noticed this attention to detail when we first arrived around 5 p.m., observing two families and a group of teens eating their meals. From our corner table, we saw sushi and sashimi combinations served on plates that looked like a Japanese garden, not a sushi boat or raw fish on a plate.
Over hot tea we first shared honey-glazed baby back ribs and Szechuan dumplings, while appetizers could have been satay beef, pork and shumai dumplings -- the tasty shrimp ones -- among other options.
Our waitress was outgoing and offered suggestions to help us choose, though we independently decided on having our own sushi and sashimi dinner. We also chose chicken mango from the Thai menu.
All of our food arrived swiftly and portioned sufficiently. We shared everything starting with the ribs, glistening meat on bones with a hot, sweet sauce that evoked "really good, outrageous" adjectives from my companion.
The seafood meal contained five pieces of sushi and eight of sashimi, plus a tuna roll. It came on a white plate with a banana leaf for resting the bites of salmon, yellow tail, tuna and others on rice.
The sashimi was presented on a mound of shaved ice in a clear glass bowl placed on the same dish. The bowl also had sliced avocado and a curly leaf vegetable to represent shrubs. The "landscaping" was bolstered by a small bamboo detail that looked like a fence and made me think of bonsai.
My chicken dish had mixed snips of zucchini and bamboo shoots and sprigs of coriander, along with the poultry. The food was garnished with a purple orchid, and I liked the marginally sweet flavor and lightness to the meal.
Later, over a generous hunk of warm chocolate cake covered with gobs of ice cream and whipped cream, we agreed we will return to Green Tea.
There are numerous entrees, such as coconut curry sea scallops with prawns and lobster tail; ginger-glazed chicken and prawns; Szechuan chicken or beef; crispy walnut prawns with string beans; and basil filet mignon and prawns. An especially pricey dish is the fresh Chilean sea bass.
A few days later I asked one of the owners, Angel Lin, why my receipt reads "Maru," yet the sign outside the restaurant calls it "Green Tea."
Lin said they had added more owners and then renamed it.

A Davidson County grand jury has returned true bills of indictment on three men in connection to a Dec. 22, 2011, home invasion robbery on David Smith Road.
A Davidson County grand jury has returned true bills of indictment on three men in connection to a Dec. 22, 2011, home invasion robbery on David Smith Road.
Andrea Tremaine Dalton, 37, of 7 Fieldale Court, Greensboro, and Rodney Jerome Lindsay, 27, of 741 Colton St., Winston-Salem, were in the Davidson County Detention Center after being served with the indictments. Lindsay and Dalton are facing the charges of felony breaking and entering, felony larceny after breaking and entering, felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, felony robbery with a dangerous weapon, felony first-degree kidnapping and felony larceny. Monday, Dalton was under a $1 million secured bond and Lindsay $50,000 secured bond.
A third man, Brandon Tyree, 26, of 357 Twin Oakes Lane, Gladstone, Va., is facing the same charges as Dalton and Lindsay, Sheriff David Grice confirmed Monday. Tyree was in the custody of authorities in Charlottesville, Va., Monday afternoon. He was awaiting extradition, the sheriff said.
The sheriff's office received a call Dec. 22 of a home invasion and stolen van at a home in the 400 block of David Smith Road, off of Hickory Tree Road near Midway.
According to court records, the wife of the homeowner at the home on David Smith Road arrived home early to discover Dalton inside. She attempted to flee. Dalton and another codefendant chased her, pulled her back into the home, held her at gunpoint and bound her with handcuffs, court records stated.
The suspects repeatedly asked for the combinations to a number of safes in the house and threatened harm when she did not produce them, Davidson County Assistant District Attorney Greg Brown wrote in a motion to set bond after the indictment. The prosecutor alleged Dalton and codefendants removed a number of firearms and other personal property of the homeowners.
Dalton, according to court records, is awaiting trial for another home invasion robbery in Davie County that occurred March 3. He was arrested March 6 on a $100,000 secured bond and posted bond the next day.
"During the course of this investigation into Mr. Dalton's criminal activities, the Davidson County Sheriff's Office and the Davidson County District Attorney's Office learned that Mr. Dalton was also a subject of interest by the Drug Enforcement Agency," Brown wrote. "Allegations exist that Mr. Dalton was involved (in) the robbery of approximately 10 kilos of cocaine worth between $250,000 and $300,000 from a Mexican drug syndicate during the summer of 2012."
Dalton, according to court records, has been involved in multiple home invasion robberies in other counties in North Carolina and dozens of thefts of motor vehicles in several states over the past several years. Dalton was arrested by the Greensboro Police Department's Criminal Apprehension Team on Thursday and turned over to detectives with the Davidson County Sheriff's Office.

Utica teachers union president wrong on grants
As a retired teacher of 33 years who was also active in the teacher's union, including walking on several picket lines, I was more than disappointed when I read "Utica schools won't get $2.5M in grants, Objections by teachers union squash applications."
Then to read that the Utica Teachers Association president said she didn't see enough benefit for union members and criticized the state for lack of funding, etc. was puzzling.
Does the state underfund poor districts like Utica? Yes, but what does that have to do with not accepting grants worth $2.5 million?
When the grant runs out, will those hired under the grant lose their jobs? Maybe, maybe not.
What if another grant comes along?
What if more state aid comes along?
What if the grant programs are so successful that some creative ways are found to continue them?
In the worst case scenario it appears the grant would have benefited teachers with more training and inevitably students. Ask a teacher who has no job if they would rather work under a grant or not work at all.
The Utica teachers should be angry at the actions of their union president. The president should be embarrassed for making the union look so bad in the eyes of the public and, in my opinion, hurting the Utica School District's ability to improve education.
WILLIAM C. TOWNS, Clinton
Continued sobriety and recovery on most thankful list
It is tradition that this time of year, I make public some of the things I am grateful for. I have done so since 2003. Not being at home in Newport, R.I., does not change anything.
I am grateful for every day of sobriety and recovery. I am grateful that I have been given the chance to spread the message of recovery in two great communities.
I am grateful that I am working on another recovery center. I am grateful for my problems today which are so much better than the ones I used to have.
I am grateful for my health. I am grateful for the ability to run seven miles even when it is less than 20 degrees and snowing. I am grateful that I do not look nor feel 46.
I am grateful for being led to Utica and for the relationships I have forged. I am grateful for the people who welcomed me.
I am grateful I am able to write this letter unlike so many who were also bi-polar, addicts, and alcoholics but have died.
ROBERT T. OLIVEIRA, Utica
Criticism of U.S. health system unfounded
A recent letter presented "facts" that the U.S. health system is not the best in the world and is so bad that "it can't get much worse."
But the method of calculating infant mortality rates often varies widely between countries and can be flawed depending on a nations' live birth criterion, vital registration system, and reporting practices.
Such criticism of the World Health Organizations' methodology led them to omit the overall country rankings in its 2010 report.
Several factors cited by the writer may be attributed to patient behavior rather the health care system: poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, for example.
A 2008 McKinsey and Co. report found that between 60,000 to 85,000 medical tourists travel to the U.S. each year citing "availability of advanced medical technology and sophisticated training of physicians", while an estimated 750,000 Americans traveled to other countries for "low costs for hospital stays and major/complex procedures."
The writer's intention was to promote Obamacare, which is increasing health insurance costs for millions, while creating another massive entitlement program that the country can ill afford. Those are the facts that should be of greater concern.

Luxury goods group Richemont , maker of Cartier jewellery, gave a cautious outlook on Monday after slowing wholesale demand for its pricey products pushed sales growth in the last quarter below forecasts.
Sales rose 5 percent at constant exchange rates in the three months to end-December to 2.862 billion euros ($3.8 billion), missing forecasts for a 7.6 percent rise in a Reuters poll as the previously booming Asia-Pacific region reported no growth.
"At this stage, it is unclear how business patterns may develop and how the business in the Asia Pacific region will evolve in the near future," Richemont said in a statement.
Richemont said the rate of wholesale growth fell in the quarter to just 2 percent from 8 percent in the April to September period due to caution by retailers in Hong Kong and mainland China and a less favourable environment.
Boutique openings helped maintain retail sales growth at 9 percent, from 15 percent in the first half, while strong jewellery sales also helped.
The maker of IWC and Lange & Soehne watches said sales growth in the Americas accelerated to 13 percent from 4 percent in the first half, with both retail and wholesale doing well, but sales growth slipped to 9 percent in Europe from 19 percent. ($1 = 0.7524 euros)

My father used to occasionally say, "being smart is not the same as being wise." Another variation was, "having a lot of information is not the same as having wisdom." As I've learned — sometimes slowly — those are words of wisdom about wisdom. We live in a time of unprecedented access to knowledge and facts — the so-called "information age." But, in the words of an old cartoon, "if this is the Information Age, how come nobody knows anything?"
There are more than 400 references to wisdom in the Old Testament, with about 75 percent of those appearing in the five works of "wisdom literature": Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Sirach and Wisdom. "Wisdom" is used to describe a variety of things, including the skill of a craftsman, kingly judgment, cleverness, advice from elders and rules of moral conduct. However, the content of wisdom literature can be summarized in a single word: "life." In the Old Testament, the goal of wisdom is a life marked by old age, prosperity and good reputation.
A key ingredient is right relationship with God: "The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Prv 9:10). That is evident in today's reading from Sirach, which carries an admonition to keep the commandments and to trust in God, for doing so will bring salvation and life. The wisdom of God is "immense," being all-powerful and all-knowing. Wisdom is deeply relational and involves both knowing things and, more importantly, knowing others.
The Greek word for wisdom (sophia) is used 51 times in the New Testament, with a third of those appearances coming in St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. To better appreciate today's Epistle reading, look at the prior chapter, especially verses 18-31. Paul explains that the word of the cross — that is, the Gospel — is "foolishness to those who are perishing," to those who are spiritually dying. The Jews, he observed, look for signs (cf. Jn 4:48; 12:37), and the Greeks seek earthly wisdom, "but to those who are called, Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God" (1 Cor 1:24). Jesus is wisdom, precisely because he is the incarnate Son of God, and he is in perfect communion with the Father.
Paul recognized Jesus as the incarnate realization of perfect wisdom, the fulfillment of God's plan of salvation, which he "predetermined before the ages for our glory." The Torah was the means by which the people of God learned and lived out wisdom (Dt 4:5-6), overflowing as the law was with wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Sir 24:23-25). Jesus, in the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5-7), delivered a new Torah. This new law of the Messiah, wrote Pope Benedict XVI, "is totally new and different — but it is precisely by being such that fulfills the Torah of Moses."
Rather than to tell us "be good" or "be nice," Jesus tells us to "be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect" (Mt 5:48), and in so doing, he reiterates the law (see Dt 18:13). "True wisdom," said St. John Chrysostom, "is the Gospel, the means of salvation through the cross of Christ. The perfect are those who believe."
Everything Jesus taught about murder, adultery and divorce is meant to perfect us, so we will be conformed, by the power of the Holy Spirit, to the image and likeness of Christ, who is wisdom and life.

I know alot of us only want to live in the past. BUT come on, this team is the most dominate team we have ever had as a Hawk fan.
Yes the 2005 team got us to a SB and this team might not. But alot of things went right for that team and with 2 home games in the playoffs it helped get us to the SB but COME ON MAN this team is sooo much more dominate.
Time to re think your vote in the poll. How can you not think we have a more complete team now, than we have ever had???
I luv all the revisionist thinking on the 2005 team.
Dont get me wrong I loved that team but lets revisit the facts;
We only played 4 teams with a winning record and we lost to 2 of them.
We did well in the playoffs because the the trip to the SB went through Seattle but lets re examine the record of our games for all of you who have short memories:
Loss jacksonville 12.4
Win Atlanta 8.8
Win Arizona 5.11
Loss Washington 10.6
Win Rams 6.10
Win Houston 2.14
Win Dallas 9.7
Win Arizona 5.11
Win Rams 6.10
Win SF 4.12
Win Giants 11.5
Win Philly 6.10
Win SF 4.12
Win Titans 4.12
Loss GB 4.12
Now it was great to then get through to the playoffs to then go to the SB (with Home feild advantage) but COME ON MAN you dont really think the 2005 team has done what this team has do you????
The 2012 team is soooo far better on D and has played a way tougher schedule than 2005. The fact that we got to the SB in 2005 is not the issue. What team is better is the issue and the 2012 team is better. The compitition may prevent us from getting to the SB but this team is sooo much more rounded.

Consensus Report
Achieving Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Goals in the Chesapeake Bay: An Evaluation of Program Strategies and Implementation (2011)Water Science and Technology Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Recovery of the Chesapeake Bay from the ecosystem disruption caused by excess nutrient and sediment inputs, primarily from agriculture, urban runoff, wastewater, and air pollution, will require profound changes in the management of resources in the Bay watershed. In recent years, the Chesapeake Bay Program has enhanced accountability of its partner states, for example by establishing two-year milestones for progress. However, numerous challenges affect the consistency and accuracy of the tracking and accounting of nutrient reduction practices. Opportunities also exist to improve support for applications of adaptive management. Because public support is vital to sustaining the program, it is important to help the public understand lag times and uncertainties associated with water quality improvements and to develop program strategies to better quantify them.
Key Messages
- Accurate tracking and accounting of the use of best management practices—efforts farmers, developers, local governments, and others make to reduce nutrient and sediment inputs to the Chesapeake Bay—is of paramount importance, because the Chesapeake Bay Program relies on these data to estimate current and future nutrient and sediment loads to the bay.
- Currently, tracking and accounting of the use of best management practices is not consistent across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Additionally, given that some best management practices are not tracked in all jurisdictions, the current accounting cannot be viewed on the whole as accurate. Independent auditing of the tracking and accounting at state and local levels would be necessary to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data reported.
- The two-year milestone system represents an improvement upon past strategies because it requires Bay jurisdictions to meet short-term implementation goals, with frequent assessments of the pace of progress. However, the milestone strategy does not guarantee that implementation goals will be met, and consequences of failing to reach the two-year milestone goals are not clear.
- The jurisdictions participating in the Chesapeake Bay Program reported mixed progress on their first milestone goals. However, the committee was largely unable to assess the likelihood that the Bay jurisdictions will meet their ultimate nutrient load reduction goals with the data provided. Nearly all jurisdictions have insufficient data to evaluate implementation progress relative to their nutrient reduction goals.
- Electronic reporting systems are likely to improve the quality of reporting and ease the jurisdictions' tracking and accounting burden, but may currently be delaying assessments of implementation progress. Because implementation data are submitted electronically to a region-wide system, several jurisdictions noted that their own data are then less accessible for their assessments of state-level progress. Some Bay jurisdictions have mechanisms in place to compile progress updates as needed, but others have to wait approximately nine months after the end of the reporting period for a summary of best management practice implementation from the Chesapeake Bay Program.
- The committee did not find any evidence of formal adaptive management efforts for nutrient and sediment reduction. Instead, the current two-year milestone strategy is best characterized as a trial and error process of adaptation in which learning is serendipitous, rather than an explicit objective. Successful application of adaptive management requires careful assessment of uncertainties relevant to decision making, but the partners have not fully analyzed uncertainties inherent in nutrient and sediment reduction efforts.
- Without sufficient flexibility of the regulatory and organizational structure within which Chesapeake Bay Program nutrient and sediment reduction efforts are undertaken, adaptive management may be problematic. Truly embracing adaptive management requires recognition that factors such as the total maximum daily loads, load allocations, or even water quality standards may need to be modified based on what is learned through the management tests.
- To achieve all needed nutrient and sediment reduction practices by the target date of 2025, jurisdictions will not only have to make significant reductions in current inputs to the Bay, but also make additional efforts to limit impacts of growth and development over the next 15 years. In addition, future climate change may impact the response of the Bay to reduced loads.
- To help reach long-term load reduction goals, the committee identified strategies with unrealized potential, in order to encourage further consideration and exploration of these strategies by Chesapeake Bay Program partners and stakeholders. Examples of these potential strategies include improved animal waste management, enhanced individual responsibility for inhabitants of the Bay area, and additional air pollution controls.
- Helping the public understand lag times and uncertainties associated with water quality improvements, and developing program strategies to quantify them, are vital to sustaining public interest in the program, particularly if near-term Bay response does not meet expectations.
- Establishing a Chesapeake Bay modeling laboratory would ensure the Chesapeake Bay Program has access to a suite of state-of-the-art models that could be used to build credibility with the scientific, engineering, and management communities.

Description: If you spend any time in the kitchen, would like to have a knife that is as attractive as it is useful, and don�t want the typical off-the shelf chefs knives, check out this beauty.
It utilizes a very deep choil (cut-out) for the forefinger to rest in. This makes the knife easy to hold onto even with slippery hands. The blade is made from ATS-34, high carbon stainless steel made by Hitachi. It is hardened and double tempered to about RC/59-60, then hand rubbed to a satin finish. It has extensive modified serpentine filework along the spine of the blade, which is not only decorative but adds a non-slip area on the back of the blade to rest the thumb. The blade is quite hard and takes an excellent edge.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Last week's Pets detailed the plight of the geese-chasing Border Collies who are being forced to reside at the Oyster Bay Animal Shelter. The Town has ignored requests by experts to allow the three working dogs to live with their handlers. Treatment of the Border Collies is indicative of the Town's indifference toward all animals in their care. This Geese Peace pathos can still be remedied; the time is right for other improvements at Oyster Bay Shelter too. All these "golden opportunities" pivot around the choice of the next shelter director.
Besides spending nearly 30 years at Babylon, I visit other shelters to take column photos and to represent Last Hope and Afghan Hound Rescue. Oyster Bay is not rescue friendly and does not welcome any volunteers, nor are potential adopters screened. The Town tends to set up obstacles rather than open doors to pet-savvy, qualified people who can provide invaluable assistance.
Mixed Breeds In Needs (MBIN) is a unique rescue/ resource organization, incorporated in 2004 specifically to aid the animals in Oyster Bay Shelter, but both their cat socialization and dog training programs were inexplicably disbanded by the Town last spring. As MBIN president Marsha Greenman says: "Everyone has his niche and talents. We should work together to help a larger number of animals in Nassau County. In the public/ private partnership, if you interconnect with many, you will be more likely to be effective for the animals."
Who's the Boss? Oyster Bay's shelter director of several decades recently retired. Now is the time to search beyond the current employee pool for a handson, compassionate director with a rescue background rather than a political figurehead. Brookhaven recently hired Dori Scofield who hails from Save-A-Pet in Port Jefferson. Commitment to animal welfare must top resume requirements.
Each director is the sun of that shelter solar system. A director who truly cared about animals would never permit the Border Collies to languish in the pound. The director sets the tone and all policies, and knows how to be flexible when decisions are in the best interest of the pet and the public. The director should be familiar with the pets in-house, and also assess the animal handling skills of each staff member. Those workers exhibiting both animal abilities and concern should be commended rather than driven away. The director must design an application to screen potential adopters carefully because a wrong home can be worse than no home. Equally crucial-the director should view rescue as an ally and welcome a well-run volunteer program. The ousted Mixed Breeds In Need program was exemplary. It was a shelter volunteer brain trust.
Reach Out to Rescue: An effective director reaches out to reputable rescues. Each organization has its specialty. For example, Mixed Breeds In Need is wonderful reshaping dogs with temperament problems. Last Hope gravitates toward pets with physical ailments. Often purebred networks should be a first, not a last resort. At times a purebred dog in a municipal shelter is more vulnerable than the inconspicuous one. Everyone who sees the Saint Bernard puppy wants him. "Everyone" is not equipped to handle him. Years ago purebred rescues operated like an underground railroad, without the cooperation or knowledge of shelter management who felt all dogs should be "up for grabs", and the desirable ones given out like boat slips to the residents. Sadly, this attitude still prevails at Oyster Bay.
Breed rescue volunteers, on the other hand, believe that since the general public had already failed the impounded purebred, the next placement should be with the intervention of those who cherished and understood the particular breed and would do all possible to ensure that this dog never surfaced in the shelter system again. No one was allowed to call me when an Afghan pup surfaced at Oyster Bay Shelter, yet Hempstead Shelter handed me his suspected sister. It took shared fostering with a Harvard grad veterinarian and the Westminster Best in Breed handler to help this gorgeous female overcome unusual issues. No novice could have managed her.
Their "Best Friend" at Town Hall: In reality, the animal shelter is low priority to most Town Halls. Usually Town Supervisors consider it only suitable for cute photo ops. Therefore, the director might have to "fight city hall" or help officials brainstorm solutions on behalf of the shelter animals. In three years, Babylon director Chris Elton has been able to institute many positive changes. Matt Caracciolo the retired Islip Shelter supervisor was a master at going to bat for the animals. He used special applications for "Bully" breed placements long before Town Attorneys were on board with the idea. Meanwhile, Oyster Bay didn't update Petfinder for months when their digital camera was broken which seems a simple budget request in such an affluent area.
The Luxury of Less: Income levels govern homeless dog intakes. Oyster Bay Shelter is a relative canine country club. While at any given moment Hempstead can have 100 dogs, Oyster Bay rarely has more than 20. Even though Babylon Town has fewer people than Oyster Bay, in 2009 Babylon Shelter took in 905 dogs while Oyster Bay took in 408. Oyster Bay could capitalize on their smaller dog population by trying innovative programs such as MBIN training or even a quiet kennel behavior mod system.
The Value of Volunteers: An organized shelter volunteer program is an asset to any community, and, of course, the animals benefit from the loving attention. MBIN provided professional trainers who mentored volunteers and staff including the Town Supervisor's daughter; supplies such as cat exercise cages, clippers, blankets; a mural to grace the lobby and the $6,000 furnished shed converted into a training real room which is now sitting idle. MBIN did the shelter laundry until the Town bought a commercial washer. They hosted adoption fairs at the Muttontown Preserve and placed at least 100 shelter animals. Greenman, an architect, offered to reconfigure the cramped cat room so it would ward off upper respiratory infections and be more inviting to visitors.
Oy vey, Oyster Bay! All this came at no expense to the taxpayers. I repeat. All this came at no expense to the taxpayers. Are you listening, Supervisor Venditto? Hire a shelter director who cares. With the help of your compassionate constituents, Oyster Bay's collective goal should be to place each adoptable dog/cat into the best home available and enhance the quality of life of those pets still waiting.

November 2007
Chile covers an area of 756,945 sq. km. (302,778 sq. mi.) and is slightly smaller than twice the size of Montana. Located in southern South America, Chile borders the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. This is a strategic location relative to sea lanes between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (Strait of Magellan, Beagle Channel, Drake Passage). Santiago (metropolitan area with a population estimated at 6 million) is the capital city; other cities include Concepcion-Talcahuano (840,000), Vina del Mar-Valparaiso (800,000), Antofagasta (245,000), and Temuco (230,000).
The varying terrain consists of desert in the north, fertile central valleys, volcanoes and lakes in the south, and mountains in the east. Atacama Desert is one of world's driest regions; the northern Chilean desert contains great mineral wealth, principally copper. The relatively small central area dominates the country in terms of population and agricultural resources. This area also is the cultural and political center from which Chile expanded until the late 19th century, when it incorporated its northern and southern regions. Southern Chile is rich in forests and grazing lands and features a string of volcanoes and lakes. The southern coast is a labyrinth of fjords, inlets, canals, twisting peninsulas, and islands. The Andes Mountains are located on the eastern border. Typically, Chile's climate ranges from arid in north, Mediterranean in the central portion, and cool and damp in south.
About 85% of Chile's population lives in urban areas, with 40% living in greater Santiago. Most have Spanish ancestry. A small, yet influential number of Irish and English immigrants came to Chile during the colonial period. German immigration began in 1848 and lasted for 90 years; the southern provinces of Valdivia, Llanquihue, and Osorno show a strong German influence. Other significant immigrant groups are Italian, Croatian, Basque, and Palestinian. About 800,000 Native Americans, mostly of the Mapuche tribe, reside in the south-central area. The Aymara and Diaguita groups can be found mainly in Chile's northern desert valleys.
Chile has a market-oriented economy characterized by a high level of foreign trade. Chile deepened its longstanding commitment to trade liberalization with the signing of a free trade agreement with the US, which took effect on January 1, 2004.

Description: Bill Burke, who was honored as a journeyman smith June 2003, is known for creating some of the best chefs knives and hunters that can be found anywhere. His attention to shape and balance on his chef's knives, not to mention the exceptional edge holding clearly sets him apart.
The European Chef's knife (known as a gyuto in Japan) is well suited for use as a general purpose chef's knife -- from chopping, to slicing and dicing -- from fruits to vegetables and meats, the chef's knife is a great choice. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and vegetables and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance right.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed by Mastersmith Ed Fowler in conjunction with Bill and creates some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.
A differential heat treatment is clearly visible in the differential hardness line approximately three quarters up the blade. This results in a soft, supportive spine and an extremely hard, long lasting edge. The bolster is integral -- a technique that, while common in production knives, is very rare in handmade knives due to the difficulty of implementation. The handle is carved from African blackwood -- one of the hardest woods found anywhere. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Sonny V needed a new banner ad design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 50 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
Our site is a listing service for new car dealers in the United States who want to trade cars with each other. They post the cars they want to trade to other dealers. They can also look for the cars they need. Once they've found them, dealers can arrange shipping. We want to keep the site simple, clean & professional. I think we've achieved that, but the homepage content is too wordy... I'd like to replace it with a professional graphic that explains our function.
Our users are new car dealers in the United States. (Honda, Chevrolet, Toyota, BMW etc.)
We need a professional graphic that explains the three things we do. Right now we have two paragraphs of text for this purpose, but a nice layout showing them is much better. This needs to fit at the top of the content section of our homepage at http://www.dealerhound.com.
The three functions of our site are:
1. Search Inventory
2. Post Inventory
3. Ship Inventory
Here's my failed effort attached. I need a professional to take over from here. Be creative, flash or html 5 is OK but not required. The key is to communicate our function the user. I will be very responsive to your work. I want you to win, so talk to me.
Additional suggestions:
a) Try and mostly use our site colors
b) Three icons for Post, Search & Ship might help.
c) A fading slideshow for the sales points might be a good way to keep the design from getting too complex.

Private who deserted 31 years ago, began new life as a woman, is discharged from Marines
POLAND, Maine (AP) � A man who deserted the Marines 31 years ago, returned to Maine and began a new life as a woman has been wondering about her fate. The Marines now say she's been discharged.
Elizabeth Tremblay, who was Pvt. Donald Tremblay when she went AWOL, told the Sun Journal (http://bit.ly/VY12c1) that her past caught up with her in September when she was arrested.
Capt. Greg Wolf, a Marine spokesman, said Monday that the case has been resolved and Tremblay has been discharged.
He said such cases aren't uncommon. He said the Marines have 540 active desertion cases pending, and that half of those are 20 years or older.
Tremblay, who's 57, says she legally changed her name about 15 years ago and began a hormone regimen to prepare for sex-change surgery.

A Question To Divide the Candidates: Why Last Night's Discussion of Gun Industry Immunity Is So Crucial
Last night, as the five candidates for the Democratic party's nomination filed on stage for the first debate, the stakes were undeniably high. But the stakes were even higher for the nation, which is reeling from yet another tragic shooting.
Two new studies illustrate the complex paths of crime guns from the legal market to dangerous people. The question remains, though: how can so many guns from just a few gun shops end up in criminal hands?

Rusty's B-Day
The other night many all star members of the wake community gathered at the Malinoski home to celebrate Rusty's 26th birthday. Yes, the one and only Bonecrusher is now 26. Where has the time gone? Nobody was worried about that, though. Really they were just worried about beating each other in the game of golf on the pool table (look it up, it's fun), trying to keep Marek from reaching up onto the pool table to push the balls around, eating the awesome desserts prepared by Rusty's wife Lindsy, watching the Murr Show on Stokemeter with special guests Erik Ruck, George Daniels and Scott Byerly (had they not been on the show they probably would've been at the birthday party, too), and having lots of laughs and fun. So Happy Birthday to Rusty and happy holidays to all of you out there.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Forty-nine points in his last 51 minutes. Sean Kilpatrick seems to like Cincinnati's new up-tempo offense. The junior guard scored a career-high 29 points on Sunday, hitting eight shots from behind the arc, and the 24th-ranked Bearcats dominated from the outset of a 93-39 victory over North Carolina A&T.
CINCINNATI (AP) — Forty-nine points in his last 51 minutes. Sean Kilpatrick seems to like Cincinnati's new up-tempo offense.
The junior guard scored a career-high 29 points on Sunday, hitting eight shots from behind the arc, and the 24th-ranked Bearcats dominated from the outset of a 93-39 victory over North Carolina A&T.
The Bearcats (3-0) opened with a 14-point run that featured four 3s by Kilpatrick, who got wide-open shots all around the arc. Cincinnati's lead never slipped below double digits. It wound up as the Bearcats' most lopsided win since 1994.
And Kilpatrick was right in the middle of it.
"None of that surprises me," coach Mick Cronin said. "His preparation every day for every game is as good as I've ever been around as a coach. It's off the charts."
Kilpatrick had 21 points in the opening half and matched his career best with six 3-pointers. He made more shots from beyond the arc than the Aggies (1-3) did overall in the half — NC A&T was 4 of 30.
"I was just playing within the flow of the game," said Kilpatrick, who finished 10 of 15 from the field, including 8 of 12 from behind the arc. "Everyone was finding me early. On top of that, we just had open shots."
Kilpatrick had a big game all-around, getting seven rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes. He has 49 points in the last two games, adapting quickly to the Bearcats' new push-the-pace style of offense that spreads out the guards.
"It opens the floor more to better opportunities," Kilpatrick said. "You find players if they're open because the whole floor is open."
The Aggies knew what he could do, but left him unguarded too many times.
"We didn't make the adjustments," coach Cy Alexander said. "We told them what he was capable of doing. This was the first game that I was disappointed in our defensive effort. We knew what we had to do from a defensive standpoint and we didn't do it.
"It appeared to me from the sideline that we were somewhat intimidated, which there is no excuse for whether you are playing mid-major, high-major, or whatever major. You've got to step up to the competition that you are playing against. We didn't do that. We played like a team who was scared."
North Carolina A&T shot only 15 percent from the field (10 of 66) with 20 turnovers. Lamont Middleton led the Aggies with 11 points.
Kilpatrick set a career high for scoring on his eighth 3-pointer with 10:26 left, completing a 16-0 run for a 68-24 lead. At that point, the Aggies had only seven field goals combined.
The only blemish for Cincinnati was free-throw shooting. The Bearcats came in averaging 59.6 percent from the line and missed 11 of their first 14. The crowd of 5,582 cheered when Cashmere Wright made a free throw that ended a streak of seven straight misses in the second half.
Cincinnati finished 9 of 23 on free throws, prompting Cronin to schedule a special practice for Monday morning.
"We've all got 7 a.m. free throws," Kilpatrick said. "So no late-night watching (television). We've got to go to sleep."
The Aggies repeatedly shot air balls over outstretched arms, missing their first 10 shots overall. They didn't get their first field goal until Lamont Middleton scored at the 12:37 mark, making it 17-3. Six of their shots were swatted away in the first half.
North Carolina A&T also had trouble holding onto the ball against Cincinnati's extended man-to-man defense. The Aggies had 12 turnovers while falling behind 47-16 at halftime.
The Bearcats are using their early games to build a 10-man-deep bench for Big East play. Cronin used his reserves a lot during an 80-57 win over Tennessee-Martin and a 102-60 win over Mississippi Valley State, and quickly got some of his reserve in against the Aggies.
No matter who was on the floor, Cincinnati's defense was too much for the Aggies, who couldn't score more than five points in a row.

MPAA Praises Government Censorship And Lack Of Due Process
from the that-might-come-back-to-haunt-them... dept
First of all, nearly all of the sites seized for copyright infringement claims reappeared on other domains pretty quickly. So, claiming that these seizures put them out of business is simply incorrect. And if it's "raised public awareness" of anything, it's how the MPAA and the US government are censoring websites and eschewing the basic principles of due process. It's really amazing how many people have been following this story and realizing just how far the US government is going, and how ridiculous it is. There's simply no way to make that look good. This is making the MPAA and the US government look like bad third world dictators, seeking to censor websites that they don't like.

Intergroup Dialogue is a constitutive element of the university's effort to advance leadership development under the administrative charge of the UNF Taylor Leadership Institute. As it was initially developed at the University of Michigan some years ago, Intergroup Dialogue has been applied to conflicts around topics of race and ethnic nationality, sexual orientation, religion, and culture. Themes within the Intergroup Dialogue process have historically included social identity development, prejudice and stereotyping and their effects on groups, the dynamics of difference and power and their impact on the nature of social oppression and/or the positive advancement of equity, civility, and justice in the world, and the development of basic group facilitation skills and their applications in multicultural settings.
incorporating all those dimensions in its application at UNF, Intergroup Dialogue goes
a step further as it is designed to advance thoughtful global leaders with the
knowledge needed to take part in and to lead multicultural group interactions
to effectively make a difference and make the world a better place. The most effective leaders possess a level of awareness, skill,
knowledge, and passion to effectively engage others across difference to
attain common purposes.
Intergroup Dialogue is an innovative practice in the classroom
that promotes student engagement across cultural and social divides, fostering
learning about social diversity and inequalities and cultivating an ethos of
social responsibility. This approach to diversity education on college and
university campuses responds to a growing need for educational practices that
prepares students to live, work, and lead in a complex, diverse, and stratified
society (Banks, 2002; Chesler, Lewis, and Crowfoot, 2005; Guarasci and
Cornwell, 1997; Gurin, 1999; hooks, 1994; Hurtado, Milem, Clayton-Pedersen, and
Allen, 1999; Sleeter and McLaren, 1995; Stephan and Stephan, 2001; Schoem,
Frankel, Zúñiga, and Lewis, 1993; Tatum, 1997).
One of the primary components of Intergroup Dialogue at UNF is a
3-credit course, LDR 3240, a leadership specific course open to all upper division students at
UNF. The course also satisfies an elective requirement for students pursuing the Leadership Minor. LDR 3240 challenges
students to apply social theory frameworks about identity to their own position
within society and the campus community, then extend those understandings to
better conceptualize the world around them and take action to make the world a
better place (Social Change Theory of
Leadership Development). The course deconstructs concepts of individual and
structural power and privilege, using students' own narratives in conjunction
with course readings and community based activities resulting in powerful and
unique learning. This
course is uniquely structured to foster student-directed learning among
Beyond its engagement with students in
the classroom, Intergroup Dialogue at
UNF is envisioned to be a larger public dialogue process designed to
involve diverse constituencies across the university community (students,
staff, faculty and administrators) in addressing difficult and controversial
topics that impact the culture and life of the university, and to do so through
the lens of individuals and groups in an exploration of societal issues such as
politics, racism, religion, and culture that are often flashpoints for
polarization and social conflict, yet are harbingers for social change. Thus, IGD
serves as a bridging mechanism across difference in efforts to advocate social justice, transform conflict, and advance social change in institutions and society.
Dialogue programming enjoys years of rigorous research and is modeled after
psychologist's Dr. Gordon Allport's social contact theory along with Dr. David
Bohme's extensive seminal work on what he termed "dialogue". According to
Boehm, "A key difference between a dialogue and an ordinary discussion is
that, within the latter people usually hold relatively fixed positions and
argue in favor of their views as they try to convince others to change. At best
this may produce agreement or compromise, but it does not give rise to anything
creative." Dialogue, by contrast is
generative and elicits new ideas, creativity and openings to new understanding
and possibility.
The Taylor Leadership Institute seeks faculty, administrators and staff who are interested in possible future service on the Intergroup Dialogue Committee. Activities for Intergroup Dialog Committee members may include co-teaching/co-facilitating dialogue courses; researching the effectiveness/learning outcomes of dialogue courses; organizing co-curricular programming initiatives for students; and organizing dialogue initiatives for faculty/staff. Service on the Intergroup Dialogue Committee is a rewarding professional and personal development opportunity that enhances the UNF campus climate. This opportunity requires a sustained time commitment and support from your supervisor/department. Placement will be dependent upon current committee needs. To express interest in serving on the Intergroup Dialogue Committee, please email email@example.com with your name, department/title, and area(s) of interest on the committee (i.e. teaching, research, co-curricular programing, faculty/staff initiatives). You may also nominate a colleague who may be interested in serving on the committee. For more information, please contact Taylor Leadership Institute at (904) 620-5934.

Arkansas citizens should call the governor's office and ask the governor why it is that under our current laws, the criminal has more rights than the law-abiding citizen!
A Little Rock police officer was sent to stop criminals from breaking into cars. Upon arriving on the scene, the criminals attempted to kill the officer by running him over with their get-away car. The officer, acting in self defense, fired on the oncoming vehicle. Now, prosecutors are trying to make a criminal of the officer.
Present Arkansas self defense laws are making this action a criminal case against this officer. Isn't it ironic that these same laws are the laws that our present Gov. Mike Beebe says are "fine self defense laws" and goes on further to say that Arkansas does not need a stand your ground law. Maybe Gov. Beebe should explain how those fine laws protect our men in blue from the criminals they are supposed to stop!
Arkansas citizens should call the governor's office and ask the governor why it is that under our current laws, the criminal has more rights than the law-abiding citizen! Better yet, why is a prosecutor treating our law officer as a criminal for protecting himself from a criminal in self defense?
A so-called law professor, Felecia Epps, has stated that stand your ground laws promote violence. However, when you look at the statistics that does not even come close to the truth. If these laws promote violence, why have none of the 34 states that have them never repealed the stand your ground law?
Republican attorney general candidate David Sterling has said that he would propose a stand your ground law for Arkansas once elected next year. Arkansas is the only state in the South that does not have a good self defense law. I hope more people will endorse and help David Sterling become the next attorney general in the state of Arkansas.

The Legality of Drone Warfare
Director, Defense Education Forum
The recent program sponsored by the American Bar Association Committee on Law and National Security and the Defense Education Forum focused on legal issues related to targeted killings – the use of drones in our current Overseas Contingency Operations formerly known as the War on Terrorism. With the increasing use and success of drones in killing targets associated with terrorists (such as al Qaeda and Taliban leaders) questions have arisen as to whether our action complies with the principles of the laws of armed conflict and international law. Opponents of the use of drones for targeted killings call them "unlawful extrajudicial killings"; defenders cite the principles of armed conflict and self defense. It is estimated that about 500 high value targets have been killed in drone attacks while 20-30 civilians may have also been killed during these attacks.
Defenders of the use of drones (primarily used by the CIA) defend their position by noting the procedures, practices, and identification of targets are extremely robust. The targeting is also generally quite precise given the advanced technologies and deliberative process involved in identifying and finally shooting at targets. They note that being able to actually see and track a target over a period of time is far more likely to ensure success and limit damage to property and innocent civilians than say a low flying attack where a pilot must react quickly without the benefit of extensive consultation. Certainly nothing prohibits the use of advanced weapons systems as long as they are used in conformity with the laws of war.
Two main legal principles apply: distinction and proportionality. The former limits targets to military objectives; civilians cannot be targeted. Proportionality requires a balancing between the military advantage to be achieved by the attack and the potential for civilian deaths and property damage. The fact that these judgments are not as transparent as some would like makes them question if the balancing process is indeed occurring and how the weights are measured. Defenders of the drone attacks indicate that a rigid process is followed in each attack both in the planning and execution.
The question also arises as to whether there are geographical limits on the use of drones – for example, they might be proper in Afghanistan, but are they in Pakistan when used against safe havens of the enemies of the United States? Does use of drones violate our domestic laws against assassination? Are the legal foundations for the use of drones sufficient? Defenders point to the principle of self-defense as well as the initial Congressional authorization following 9/11 – the Authorization for the Use of Force (although its applicability may diminish with time). They deny the notion that "adequate process" must be extended to terrorists before lethal force can be utilized and emphasize that precision targeting, against belligerent leaders, in self-defense or during armed conflict is not unlawful, thus domestic law limitations do not apply.
Some ambiguities remain. Are individuals not engaged in an imminent attack, but integral to the enemy efforts, legitimate targets? Are there any geographical boundaries – could we attack a purported al Qaeda leader in Egypt? Is current international law sufficient to cover the evolution of technology and things such as targeted killing by drone attack or should the law of armed conflict be revisited and perhaps revised?
3 comments:
The legal principles of distinction and proportionality are appropriate when the actions are performed by the military. But I wonder about the use of non-military personnel for such activities, e.g. the CIA. Is the use of non-military personnel for such killing a violation of the Geneva Convention and perhaps our own prohibition against assassinations? Are the CIA (and other non-military operators of drones, if there are any) not protected by the Geneva Convention in a way that our military would be protected?

As I said to MG Dunlap, one of the excellent panel members, I don't think that the platform (UAV) is particulalry relevant. The legal issues (and, I suspect, the ROE)would be precisely the same if the aircraft were an AH-64 or an F-16. Very good panel discussion. Hope for more in the future.

Incidently, there was an interesting article in the Post on this topic: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/25/AR2010042503114.html.
It did discuss, as Bob noted, the issues of distinction/proportionality, as affecting CIA operations specifically. To Stephen's point, using non-uniformed personnel in combatant roles raises some critical legal issues that are worth discussion/debate.

Stamford LED lighting firm closes $39 million acquisition
Revolution Lighting Technology, a Stamford-based maker of fiber optic lighting products, signs and displays, has branched out into multifamily construction with the closing of their acquisition of Georgia-based Value Lighting.
In the agreement, finalized last week, Revolution Lighting paid $10.5 million in cash and $28.1 million in stock for 100 percent of the outstanding equity of the Value Lighting business, according to a press release. Revolution Lighting expects to get an estimated $9 million working capital through the deal.
A 75-employee company based in Marietta, Ga., Value Lighting focuses on supplying lighting solutions to the multifamily residential housing sector. This provides access to a new market for Revolution Lighting, which creates LED lighting solutions, primarily for industrial and commercial markets.
Multifamily homeowners are using between 2-5 times more energy than needed to operate their lighting, according to Martin Magida, managing director at Carter, Morse & Matthias.
"It looks like a shrewd transaction," Magida said of Revolution's acquisition. "There's a huge potential for multi-family property owners to achieve significant savings."
Multi-family construction is expected to grow, according to research conducted by Reis, a provider of commercial real estate market information. New completions this year in the top 82 U.S. markets are expected to reach well above the long-term historical average of about 120,000 units per year. For 2014, new completions are estimated to total around 164,000 units, according to Reis.
"We are excited to close this strategic and complementary acquisition, which will allow Revolution Lighting to penetrate new markets, including the fast growing multifamily residential housing sector, and further accelerate our overall growth as a company," Robert LaPenta, chairman and CEO of Revolution Lighting, said in a statement.
Traded under the symbol "RVLT" on Nasdaq, the shares closed unchanged at $2.93 on Thursday.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 25, 2012) – After the second largest crowd in ETSU women's basketball history nearly saw the Lady Bucs upset Southeastern Conference foe LSU, head coach Karen Kemp, her staff, and players want to send out a big "Thank You" for all the fan support inside the MSHA Athletic Center on Tuesday night.
"Last night we had an electric NCAA Division I basketball atmosphere inside the Dome, and my players, staff, and I want to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the Lady Bucs," said Kemp. "The marketing department, along with the women's basketball grant team, put in a lot of hard work and I want to thank them as well for getting the word out. I hope we won over some new fans, and hopefully we will see you back inside the Dome once we come home from our road swing."
Over 4,000 fans filled the Dome on Tuesday night as the Lady Bucs hosted a SEC foe for the second time in the last four years, and the ETSU faithful were treated to an exciting game.
ETSU led for the majority of the first half and held a four-point lead (63-59) with two minutes left in regulation; however, Swayze Black's jumper as time expired counted and sent the game into overtime. From there, the Blue and Gold led by three in the extra stanza, but LSU scored the final five points of the game to survive the scare, 71-68.
Prior to the game, fans were treated to a free Pizza Inn tailgate party, while the first 750 fans received an ETSU T-Shirt. During the game, $350 in cash was given away to lucky fans – and after the Lady Bucs came out of the locker room – the fans were treated to a postgame autograph session with the team.
The Lady Bucs, who now embark on a critical three-game conference road swing, still have four home games remaining, beginning Thursday, Feb. 9 against Jacksonville. Following the game with the Dolphins, ETSU hosts North Florida on Feb. 11, while closing out the regular season with home contests with Stetson (Feb. 23) and league-leading Florida Gulf Coast (Feb. 25).
"Again, the Lady Bucs truly want to thank everyone for their support last night, and we hope to see you back in the Dome later this season," added Kemp.
Coach Kemp's motto has always been, "Come watch us play once and hopefully you'll be hooked."
Hopefully the Lady Bucs reeled in some new fans Tuesday night.

Book Review of the Week by Library Staff Member Phyllis Peter
"Until It Hurts: America's Obsession with Youth Sports and How it Harms Our Kids" by Mark Hyman gives a great overview of how adults have gone on a quest to turn children into tomorrow's superstar athletes and how kids are being pushed beyond their physical and emotional limits.
With the prevalence of organized sports for children even as young as three, this book is an eye-opener. Hyman looks at the huge number of sports injuries in kids (in 2003, 3.5 million kids had sports injuries that required medical attention). He pays special attention to overuse injuries, and the stories he tells are scary, including a swim coach who forces a 12-year-old to swim until her elbow is swollen, forcing her to quit swimming by age 14 despite her early successes.
Another frightening tale is the story of a 12-year-old star phenom Little League pitcher who complained to his coach of terrible pain in his elbow. While rain delayed the game his coach had him stick his elbow in the concession stand freezer so it was numb enough that he could pitch the last four innings. By age 15 this young pitcher's promising career was over. He had surgery to transpose a nerve in his arm and was never able to pitch again. An adult now, this young man still wonders why his parents and other adults didn't step in on his behalf.
The author balances the cautionary tales with messages about what is good about sports as well. Author Hyman's book is a warning to adults to keep the big picture in mind with young athletes and is a must-read for any parent or adult with young athletes in the home.

The Idea That Women Need More Patents, Copyrights And Trademarks Shows Up In Newly Proposed Law
from the missing-the-point dept
Unfortunately, however, it appears this idea that women need more patents has somehow made its way to Congress in a new bill -- and (just for fun) it also says the same about copyrights and trademarks. Senator Olympia Snowe (with Senator Mary Landrieu) have introduced S.3196 to create a "National Women's High-Growth Business Bipartisan Task Force." By itself, that seems like a good idea. It's no secret that the tech industry has a much higher percentage of men than women, and there's been quite a reasonable concern about why that is and if it's healthy for innovation and the economy. And most of the proposal seems reasonable, if somewhat unlikely to accomplish anything meaningful.
But, then there's this part, which says that among the duties of the task force will be to:
examine the link between women who own small business concerns and intellectual property, including—Once again, this is merely making the assumption that women need to get more patents, trademarks and copyright -- and that they need help "enforcing" them. Why make such an assumption? Why not start with a more neutral question that explores whether or not such government granted monopoly privileges actually help innovation or the economy? It seems weird to immediately jump to the conclusion that women need more IP.(A) the number of patents, trademarks, and copyrights granted to women; and
(B) the challenges faced by high-growth small business concerns owned and controlled by women in obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights.
