Suffolk University Law School offers a wide array of international courses, ranging from public international law to international business transactions, and comparative legal cultures, as well as the option to specialize with the international law concentration. These offerings stress the impact of multiple legal systems on transactions and resolution of disputes, and the role of the lawyers in the world economy.
Almost every field of law now contains a substantial international element. Training students in a variety of international law subjects equips them to practice in a legal world necessarily reaching beyond national borders. Students may opt to study at a foreign law school or perhaps gain work experience overseas with an international internship, or even choose to participate in a three-week foreign summer program at the University of Lund, Sweden.
International Study - Program Choices
Summer Law Program - Lund, Sweden
Study abroad is now an essential part of legal training. The Summer Law Program provides U.S. law students with an opportunity to participate in comparative and international public and private law courses while living in the charming, medieval city of Lund, Sweden. The close interaction of law students and law faculty from the University of Lund and other international law faculties distinguishes Suffolk's program from most other foreign summer law programs and offers students an excellent opportunity to learn about different legal cultures.
International Internships
Suffolk University Law School has an exclusive agreement with the Center for International Legal Studies (CILS) to offer Internships to U.S. law students and Externships. International internships are available to JD students for credit in conformity with the American Bar Association guidelines, and international externships are for LLM students and other post-graduates with law degrees.
LL.M. in European Business Law - Lund, Sweden
One or two Suffolk University Law students or graduates will be selected for a nomination to the program in European Business Law at the University of Lund. Designed to provide advanced knowledge of legal, business, and political aspects of European affairs, this program is a unique opportunity for the right student.
Semester Abroad Opportunities
Suffolk University Law School students have the unique opportunity to participate in one of three exchange agreements. Students may spend one semester at Heinrich-Heine-Universitaet (HHU) Dusseldorf, Germany, Universidad Panamericana Guadalajara (UPG), Mexico, or University of Lund, Sweden. These exchange programs are excellent global experiences and make it possible for upper class Suffolk Law students to take law classes in Germany, Mexico, or Sweden.

I've been reflecting recently on the variety of reactions we polyamorists get to our lifestyle. At choir practice the other night, one of the sopranos mentioned to me that she was taking a class on time management and that the instructor had said that after taking the class the student's would have so much more time that their spouses and partners and polyamorous families would be delighted.

AHL Game Night: 2-2-13 Americans at Crunch
It's starting to feel like Rochester has Syracuse's number.
Riku Helenius allowed 5 goals on 21 shots for the loss. That's an ugly stat line and a bitter pill for the whole team to swallow when they outshot Rochester 46-21.

Richard Panik notched his 20th goal of the season in the defeat. Alex Killorn is tied with Jason Zucker of Houston for second in rookie scoring behind Justin Schultz, whose callup to Edmonton puts the Rookie of the Year award in play for Killorn.
But first, Syracuse needs to shake off the futility of this weekend.

The first is the inspiring Demi Lovato!
I have this exact photo from an issue of Seventeen magazine hanging on my wall and I love it! This was the inspiration for me dying my hair blue, which was actually a horrible idea. It looks great on Demi, but it wasn't the color for me. I absolutely hated it when it was blue, but it's faded to more of a purple. But Demi has had so many different hair colors since she bleached her hair from her natural blonde, and now that I think of it, she was probably the one that inspired me to do the same!
The next woman that I look to is Emma Roberts.
This is exactly how I want my hair to look. I love the slight beachy waves that she's go going on, but no matter how hard I try I can never achieve this look. I always end up with curls instead of waves. But I keep on trying, because I'm bound to get it sometime, right?
Last up is the young Carrie Bradshaw from The Carrie Diaries
Season 1 Carrie, where she had longer tighter curls. I am so envious of those curls! I know I said that I want the loose waves of Emma Roberts, but I would absolutely love to have crazy curls like Carrie. So whenever I choose to go for actually curls, I try to get as close to her hair as possible.

Our Campus & City
The College Town of Atlanta
Atlanta is well known for being home to a large number of colleges. While Agnes Scott students enjoy individual attention on our campus, they also have access to cross registration and social events with our affiliate Atlanta and Georgia colleges such as Emory University, Georgia Tech and Georgia State, just to name a few.
Atlanta's Cultural Attractions
As the urban center of the Southeast, Atlanta offers Agnes Scott students world-class arts and cultural events in its museums and theatres. From the Atlanta Ballet to the Atlanta Zoo, our students have endless possibilities to pursue their interests and discover new ones.
Internships and Job Opportunities
Another benefit to living near Atlanta is the multitude of experiential, hands-on opportunities. Our students can participate in exciting internships while living on campus and get a head start on their job search before graduation.
College Life in Decatur
Agnes Scott's campus is located in the town of Decatur, an historic city of "homes, schools and places of worship," and is only minutes away by car from Atlanta. Decatur offers eclectic shops and restaurants within easy walking distance.
The Music Scene
Just a few minutes walk from campus, Agnes Scott students can listen to famous and up-and-coming singer/songwriters at Eddie's Attic or have a picnic at one of Decatur's concerts on the square. Jennifer Nettles '97 of Sugarland performed at Eddie's Attic during her time at Agnes Scott. Only a short drive away, Atlanta offers music venues to suit every taste and is especially well known for its hip-hop scene.
Weather in the South
One of the best features of living in Georgia is the weather. With an average high of 52°F (11°C) in January and 89°F (32°C) in July, our students enjoy plenty of study time outdoors on our beautiful quad lawn.

Pinnacles monument closer to park status
Washington --
Pinnacles National Monument, home to the endangered California condor and a favorite spot for hikers and rock climbers near Soledad (Monterey County) and Hollister (San Benito County), moved closer to becoming the country's newest national park, with House approval Tuesday.
The brainchild of Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, an upgrade of Pinnacles to park status has enthusiastic support from local elected officials and businesses who hope that the national park cachet will draw tourists, especially the foreign kind, who now pass by unaware of the rock formations along U.S. Highway 101.
"The Pinnacles National Monument is sort of a lost place," said Farr, who has been working on changing it to a national park since he entered Congress in 1994. At 26,000 acres, Pinnacles "certainly is not a Yosemite, and it's not a Kings Canyon, and it's not the Golden Gate National Recreation Area," Farr said, but it could be the only park in California's Central Coast.
Jerry Muenzer, a member of the San Benito County Board of Supervisors, based in Hollister, said Europeans often plan vacations around national parks, but many have no idea what a national monument is.
"People come down there and say, 'Where's the statue?' " thinking they will see something like the Washington Monument, Muenzer said.
Help for the locals
Hollister, a town of about 36,000 people about a 45-minute drive from the monument's east entrance, could use a horde of German and French visitors, having lost its luster as a bedroom community for Silicon Valley when the economy crashed in 2008. Many commuters returned to San Jose, foreclosures soared and unemployment remains stuck in the high teens, Muenzer said.
Designated as a monument in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt, the father of the national parks, the volcanic rock formations and talus caves of Pinnacles sit atop the San Andreas Fault, where the Pacific and North American tectonic plates collide.
During the spring wildflower bloom, it is home to some 400 species of bees, more than any place in the world.
Endangered condors were released in the area in 2003 as part of the species' recovery program, and it is home to several of the estimated 226 existing birds that live in the wild.
A park designation would alter neither the size nor management of the protected area, officials said.
Pinnacles is tiny compared with Death Valley National Park, at more than 3 million acres, or Yosemite, at 761,000 acres. It would be similar in size to South Dakota's 28,000-acre Wind Cave National Park.
The west side of the park got a new visitor center from the 2009 fiscal stimulus. The main entrance lies on the east side, south of Hollister. The only way to cross the monument is by foot, and most of the area, 16,000 acres, is designated wilderness, which allows no roads, motorized vehicles or permanent structures.
Farr's effort to increase the wilderness designation by 2,715 acres was defeated in the House Natural Resources Committee.
The legislation would rename the existing wilderness area the Hain Wilderness, after the Michigan homesteaders who were the first white settlers to arrive in 1886. Schuyler Hain was the first proponent of designating the area a park in 1893, leading to its designation as a monument.
The park designation got an endorsement from filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan, who created the PBS documentary "The National Parks: America's Best Idea."
"While changing an area's designation from 'monument' to 'park' does not necessarily change its crucial attributes, it nonetheless alters its place in the American imagination," the filmmakers said in a letter. "A Pinnacles National Park, simply by its new designation, would attract and demand greater attention to the remarkable treasures the monument has to offer."
Politics at work
The uncontested House passage by voice vote was a rare achievement for any lands bill in the deeply partisan chamber and was the result of Farr's work with Rep. Jeff Denham, a Turlock (Stanislaus County) Republican who has lived in Salinas. Farr is in turn helping Denham place a new Yosemite National Park visitor center on 18 acres in Mariposa.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., is sponsoring a companion Pinnacles bill in the Senate that faces little opposition because the status change will not cost any money.
But the Pinnacles bill and dozens of other public lands bills are stymied in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee by an unrelated partisan dispute over a proposal to allow Sealaska, an Alaska native corporation, which handles land and financial claims for indigenous citizens, to swap land with the federal government.
If that dispute is not resolved before Congress adjourns at the end of this year, the legislative process for the Pinnacles designation would have to start all over again.
"Republicans and Democrats don't agree on much, but they all agree that the Pinnacles should be a national park," said Paul Spitler, director of wilderness policy for the Wilderness Society, an environmental group. "It's a magnificent place."
The difference
National parks
National parks are established by Congress and contain outstanding scenic features or natural resources. They encompass large land or water areas to help protect those features. Hunting, mining and activities like logging and grazing are not permitted.
National monuments
A national monument is intended to preserve at least one nationally significant resource. It is usually smaller than a national park and lacks a diversity of attractions. They are ordinarily created by presidential proclamation but may also be established by Congress. Landmarks, structures and other objects of historic or scientific interest may be declared national monuments.

Full Steam Ahead
NEWPORT CITY – The planning commission continues to support a central heating plant that would distribute heat via underground pipes to commercial, public and residential buildings. Local woodchips would power the plant.Jay Ancel, from Black River Design, said his firm worked on this with engineers from New York City relative to other projects in Vermont. Ancel got the idea to bring the engineers to Newport after they talked about their work in designing the heating and cooling system for the new World Trade Center. The engineers' idea for the World Trade Center entails getting water from the Hudson River, Ancel said.The planning commission first discussed the idea about 18 months ago. The engineers are interested in returning to Newport and working with zoning administrator Paul Dreher on the project. The work would entail studying maps, demand on the system, what buildings might be connected, and what kind of heating systems those buildings have now. A central heating system can lower heating costs and can be an incentive to attract new businesses. "The bigger the better," Ancel said of the size of the system. "The more users you get, the larger the boilers you can plug in."Ancel's prime interest is to have a central heating system downtown, but it could be located near an industrial park or hospital. Having the system downtown can be complicated, Ancel said."You have all your rights-of-ways, multiple owners and would probably get into Act 250," said Ancel. At one point, a district heat system was supposed to be a priority, but fell to the wayside, zoning member Clark Curtis said.It's a priority again, said Dreher. He said outside investors may contribute to the feasibility study, but he would like the city to find some money as well. "We might want to ask the council directly for money or we might want to tell the council we will be looking for other funding sources like grant monies," said Dreher.Zoning board members suggested the major potential users might want to contribute to the feasibility study. Investors could own the plant with regulation from the public service board. The system could provide domestic hot water and a cooling system. The system, at least at first, probably would service large industrial buildings. The closer the user is to the plant, the better it works.Curtis suggested Dreher tell the city council that the zoning board wants district heat to be part of the town plan.A central heating system is nothing new to Newport. Years ago, a similar system heated the Governor Prouty Mansion.

TERESOPOLIS, Brazil (AP) — Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa's performance was so impressive Tuesday that even Julio Cesar's young son was talking about it.
Ochoa made four outstanding saves and was picked as man of the match as Mexico drew Cesar's Brazil squad 0-0.
"He came to me after the match and said, 'Dad, congratulations, you had some nice saves, but the goalkeeper for Mexico..." Cesar said Thursday, laughing.
Cesar said his son, Cauet, couldn't stop talking about his counterpart, saying he was upset that he played so well.
"I told him not to worry because next time we will be able to beat the other goalkeeper," Cesar said.

FORTALEZA, Brazil (AP) — Brazilian authorities have come up with a new crime-fighting weapon: a truck loaded with security cameras, fitted to a 10-meter high mast, and wired for live transmission.
The truck has been parked for the last two days at the start of the coastal walkway, near the city's Fan Fest, and at a spot where fans and residents can pick up street food and rent roller skates.
Security cameras are generally tolerated in crime-conscious Brazil. They're used extensively to protect private property and fitted in hotel lobbies and even hallways and elevators in Fortaleza.

MANAUS, Brazil (AP) — Some World Cup fans decided to come to Manaus because it was exotic, located deep in the Amazon rainforest on one of the longest rivers in the world.
Others were perfectly happy to avoid the northern Brazilian city, preferring to skip the malaria pills and yellow fever shots needed by many visitors.
And then there's Malachi and Dylan Bussey, 27-year-old twins from Atlanta who are in town to watch the United States play Portugal on Sunday at the Arena da Amazonia.
"Uh, we didn't really do any Google searches, so we had no idea what Manaus was like," said Malachi, a software development consultant who arrived in Manaus with his brother Thursday.
The Busseys bought their tickets from a third-party seller, paying $250 each. And after spending a few days watching matches at the Fan Fest in Rio de Janeiro, the game in Manaus is the only one they will see in person.
"Seemed sort of like a once-in-a-lifetime thing," said Dylan, an architect who currently lives in Dallas. "I thought, the draw came out — USA-Portugal, let's do that one."

RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — England now needs Italy's help to keep alive its slim chances of advancing at the World Cup.
Presumably Queen Elizabeth II would be pleased if England moves on, so Italy star Mario Balotelli is already contemplating what would happen should his team provide an assist. He tweeted Thursday after England lost to Uruguay: "If we beat Costa Rica i want a kiss, obviously on the cheek, from the UK Queen." That was followed by three emoticons of a smiley face laughing so hard tears spurt from its eyes.
Even though the English lost their first two matches, they could still potentially advance on goal difference if Italy defeats Costa Rica and Uruguay and England beats Costa Rica. The Italians face Costa Rica on Friday.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A Dutch television host and actress has quit as an ambassador for her country's national committee of the United Nations children's fund, UNICEF, after tweeting a photo that had been manipulated to appear to show two Colombian footballers snorting white lines off the pitch.
Nicolette van Dam had earlier apologized and removed the offending tweet after media in Colombia reacted angrily to the fake photo, which was clearly intended to link Colombia with cocaine use.
"Queridos Colombianos, there was no offense intended from my side," she tweeted. "Please accept my honest and sincere apologies. #RespectColombia."
UNICEF condemned the post Thursday in a statement out of New York, calling it "inappropriate and highly offensive."
The Dutch national committee of UNICEF said on its website that Van Dam had quit "out of respect for our work," adding that the reactions to her insensitive tweet Wednesday had made her position as ambassador "untenable."
Van Dam "had not realized that there was so much sensitivity in South America about this issue," the statement said.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Kyle Beckerman lived in Colorado 12 years ago when the U.S. held on to beat Portugal 3-2 in a group stage match at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea. He remembers watching the game — sort of.
Beckerman fell asleep briefly, then awoke to see the halftime score with the Americans leading 3-0. The game was played in the middle of the night Colorado time.
Now, the 32-year-old American midfielder is preparing to face Portugal in a Group G match Sunday in Manaus.
Beckerman watched the '02 World Cup after being selected 11th overall by the Colorado Rapids in the Major League Soccer draft that year.
"I think I kind of dozed off because it was 2 or 3 in the morning," Beckerman recalled Thursday. "And I woke up and looked at the score and thought it was a typo, because it said 3-0 USA. When I realized it wasn't a typo, I jumped up and was going crazy for the team. It was all about holding on for the win, which they did."

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Robin van Persie took some family time at a training session Thursday, sitting with wife Bouchra and his two young children in the stands while his Netherlands teammates played a practice game.
The Manchester United striker, who has three goals in two games at the World Cup for the impressive Dutch, spent around 30 minutes with his family at the top of the steep concrete stands overlooking the Estadio Gavea field.
Down below, some of the Netherlands reserves trained, with Van Persie sometimes shouting out encouragement to his teammates.
Van Persie was one of a number of starters who took it easy, with winger Arjen Robben and midfielder Nigel de Jong also earning a break a day after a 3-2 win over Australia sealed a place in the last 16 for the Dutch.
Van Persie won't play in the Netherlands' Group B finale against Chile on Monday after receiving two yellow cards.

Google Chairman Manterrupts Female Tech Leader at SXSW to Mansplain Need for Diversity in Tech
"Mansplaining" is a term coined to describe the behavior of those men who have the need to explain what they believe are complex topics, in which they may or may not be well-versed, to women in a manner that is elementary enough for even a woman to understand. This very thing happened at SXSW this week, except this time, the "manterrupter" got called out publicly. Here's how it went down.

Will 'equality' now mean lower standards?
Military support organization blasts 'lame-duck' Panetta over combat decision
An organization that promotes high standards and sound priorities in the military is blasting "lame-duck" Defense Secretary Leon Panetta for opening combat positions to women.
Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness said the move compromises the aim of having the most trained, most skilled and best-performing military.
"Career pressures to make this 'work' will vitiate core values, because the military's honorable tradition of recognizing individual merit will have to yield to pressures for 'diversity metrics,'" she said.
Donnelly warned that Marine and Army field commanders "who desire promotion will be compelled to pursue gender-based quotas by ordering women into direct ground combat (infantry) battalions."
The Pentagon, under Barack Obama's direction, this week said virtually every ground-combat job now will be opened to women.
The decision came even though the military itself concedes men have physical advantages over women that are relevant to carrying out basic tasks. The average women, the military acknowledges, for example, has lower upper-body strength than the average man, and women are hospitalized at a rate 30 percent higher than men.
Even the left-leaning Time acknowledged accommodations for women are forthcoming.
"Integrating women into the combat arms – primarily infantry, armor and artillery – is going to be a balancing act," the magazine said. "Standards must be met, but there will be pressure to ensure enough women qualify so there's not only one or two in a 150-troop company.
"Before long, commanders will have to implement various types of double standards involving women, known as DSIW. And to avoid soaring injury rates in tough training, challenges for men will be dropped and forgotten, weakening the finest fighting force in the world."
Donnelly charged that the "lame-duck" Panetta "recklessly announced unilateral nullification of direct ground combat exemptions that are important to the majority of military women who serve in the enlisted ranks."
She noted Panetta decided to exclude Congress and the American people from the decision "and imposed a radical 'diversity' agenda on our military without disclosing the data and results of extensive research on the subject of women in land combat that the Marine Corps conducted last year."
Congress now should insist on seeing the results of the Marine research, Donnelly urged, and "conduct immediate oversight hearings before the harmful policies imposed by the outgoing secretary of defense become de facto law."
"We are hearing assurances that training standards will remain the same, but no matter what is promised now, incremental pressures to assign women to Marine and Army infantry and Special Operations Forces battalions will drive qualification standards down. The same advocates who demand 'career opportunities' in combat are the first to demand unequal, gender-normed standards to make it 'fair,'" Donnelly said.
She said Congress has the constitutional responsibility to make policy for the U.S. military.
"If data gathered … showed that gender 'diversity' would strengthen infantry battalions, surely we would have heard that news by now," she said.
"Despite current denials, training standards will have to be lowered to achieve the desired 'critical mass.' And as we have seen many times before, officials will deny gender-normed standards or disguise them with sophistries pretending that 'equal effort' is the same as 'equal results,'" she said.
"Gender-norming will not work in infantry battalions, but it will increase resentment and harm team cohesion and morale. These negative dynamics surely will increase problems of sexual misconduct, across both sides of the spectrum ranging from sexual abuse to inappropriate relationships. "
The Miami Herald recently posted a list of nations in which women serve in combat, including Israel, where the five major infantry brigades still are all-male.
Other nations where women are in the combat ranks include Canada, France, New Zealand and several Nordic countries.
Earlier this week, Donnelly's organization released a new report on a U.S. Marines plan to put women in "tip of the spear" combat positions.
It argued females are not "equal" when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. The report warns America's social experiment with the members of its military may become costly.
"Mandatory 'diversity' taken to extremes is all about elitist attitudes, ideological groupthink, and Amazon Warrior myths that disregard inconvenient facts," the report says. "Ancient Greeks and Romans believed in mythical Amazon women, but today's theorists seem to believe in popular culture depicting super-female warriors on television and in feature films."
The report warns that as "1984" author George Orwell "recognized decades ago, false beliefs are likely to 'bump up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.'"
Donnelly pointed out in a Washington Times commentary about her group's new report that female officers were invited last September to participate in the grueling 13-week Marine Infantry Officer Course at Quantico, Va.
"Of the two women who volunteered, one left on the first day, and the second dropped out (along with 27 of 109 men) several days later," she writes.
"Professional football entertains fans with non-lethal combat on the gridiron, but the National Football League does not 'diversify' its teams with female players," she argues. "Military teams that engage in lethal combat, however, are supposed to deploy significant numbers of women, willing or not, to achieve gender-based 'diversity metrics' on the battlefield."
The report cites 30 years of studies in the U.S. and allied countries showing that "in a direct ground combat environment, women do not have an equal opportunity to survive or to help fellow soldiers survive," Donnelly says.
"There is no question that female Marines, soldiers, airmen and sailors have served our country with courage and dedication in the wars since the 9/11 attacks on American and before. Some are still deployed," says the report.
"The current debate is not about women serving 'in harm's way' in war zones. It is whether women should be assigned to direct ground combat – 'tip of the spear' battalions that attack the enemy with deliberate offensive action under fire."
"Lives and the success of land combat missions depend on individual movements in battle zones, marches under heavy loads, the digging of fighting positions, lifting and mountain machine guns, lugging cans of ammunition rounds, and throwing grenades," the report says.
"The only way to achieve 'equality' for women in tough training is to use gender-normed (adjusted) scoring systems that measure 'equal effort,' not equal results."

In 2000, West Nile virus appeared for the first time in Pennsylvania in birds, mosquitoes and a horse. To combat the spread of West Nile virus, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, Pennsylvania has developed a comprehensive network. This network, which covers 40 counties, includes trapping mosquitoes, collecting dead birds and monitoring horses, people and, in past years, sentinel chickens. Please explore our site to find out more about how you can help, to learn about West Nile virus or the latest surveillance update from your area.
State DEP and county mosquito control professionals have been using Bti, a naturally occurring bacteria, to kill mosquito larvae for years. This material is now becoming widely available for you to buy and use yourself at home.
Bti can be purchased in small, donut-shaped form, often called "mosquito dunks", which are useful in small areas of standing water, such as a birdbath or small puddle of water that may gather in a low spot on your property. A granular form of Bti is available, and effective for larger areas, such as backyard ponds.
Bti can be purchased in many lawn and garden, outdoor supply, and home improvement stores. The great thing about this bacteria is that it kills only mosquito and black fly larvae. It is not harmful to people, pets, aquatic life (such as fish) or plants.
The best way to control mosquitoes is still to get rid of standing water on your property. And, make sure you follow all label instructions carefully if you use Bti at home.
The Today's Positives section is updated daily at 2:00PM. Positives from the previous day are removed at 2:00PM. Please note that mosquito samples may consist of 1 or more mosquitoes of 1 or more species.

Coral Bleaching: What You Need to Know
"Corals have a limited temperature range within which they can live. When it gets too hot, they get stressed out."
— Stephanie Wear, Conservancy director of coral reef conservation
If coral bleaching isn't on your radar yet, it will be soon. According to Stephanie Wear, The Nature Conservancy's director of coral reef conservation, recent steamy temperatures indicate a rough year ahead for the world's coral reefs.
"When you have really hot summers, you can expect that corals will get stressed, and bleaching is likely," says Wear.
But what does coral bleaching mean for us and our seas? Read on to get the skinny on this phenomenon—and what can be done to lessen the impacts. Then, visit our Adopt a Coral Reef page to find out what you can do to help us help coral reefs.
What is coral bleaching? Why is it such a bad thing?
On the surface, coral bleaching looks exactly like what you're envisioning right now: white, bleached-out coral reefs, which is quite a departure from the colorful structures we all know and love.
"The first thing to understand is that corals get their brilliant colors from tiny algae that live in their tissues. These tiny organisms live in harmony with coral animals, and they basically share resources," Wear explains. "For example, the most important thing that the algae do is provide food to the corals through carbohydrates they produce during photosynthesis."
"The next thing to understand is that corals have a limited temperature range within which they can live," Wear continues. "When it gets too hot, they get stressed out—and this relationship with the algae goes sour. The tiny algae are ejected from the corals, turning them white, thus the term 'bleached.'"
And what happens then? "If these algae aren't reabsorbed in the near term, the coral will die," says Wear. "They just can't survive long-term without them."
But could we survive without corals? Reefs make up less than 1 percent of Earth's undersea ecosystems, but don't underestimate their importance:
- They shelter 25 percent of marine species,
- protect shorelines,
- support fishing industries,
- provide tourist dollars—and
- could be home to the next big, undiscovered medical breakthrough.
A decline in healthy reefs is a huge blow to us all.
Why does coral bleaching happen?
Elevated sea temperatures — often "thanks" to climate change — are the biggest culprits when it comes to coral bleaching. El Niño also plays a role in heating up ocean waters. "The bleaching activity this year was actually predicted last year because of the El Niño cycle that began in mid-2009," says Wear.
But it can be a perfect storm of stress factors, like the ones listed below, that lead to significant bleaching events:
* Extra-bright sunlight, especially when combined with the aforementioned extra-warm seawater
* Disease
* Pollution from urban or agricultural run-off
* Changes in the salinity, or saltiness, of seawater
* Sedimentation from undersea activities like dredging
Lots of living things (including humans) under serious stress may be more susceptible to problems with their health, and corals are no exception. Coral reefs—they're just like us!
What's The Nature Conservancy doing about coral bleaching?
Bleaching doesn't have to be a death sentence. Not every reef that experiences a stressful event is destroyed — some healthy reefs, called "resilient reefs," are capable of bouncing back. The Conservancy's work is focused on increasing the likelihood that reefs can recover when faced with a major disturbance, like a climate-related event.
The Nature Conservancy is a pioneer in reef resilience, and we're sharing our science-based strategies and years of on-the-ground experience with our partners and local reef practitioners. Reef resilience workshops teach participants how they can keep their reefs healthy, and get their communities on board with reef protection.
"On the ground, we are working with countries to establish resilient marine protected area networks by incorporating what we know about reef resilience into the design and management of marine parks," says Wear. "We are also developing and implementing other management strategies to better respond to bleaching events, such as developing comprehensive bleaching response plans."
Is there anything I can do?
Even those who live far from the coasts can help protect coral reefs.
The things you do to reduce your carbon footprint not only save energy — they keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere, which helps combat climate change and maintain appropriately cool ocean temperatures.
- Try walking, biking or taking public transportation instead of driving.
- Plant a tree and support forest conservation! Trees store carbon and reduce agricultural run-off, which may ultimately end up in the ocean.
- Contact your local legislators, and tell them you support comprehensive climate legislation.
You can also support the Conservancy's work to protect corals by adopting a coral reef in honor of family members and friends (or yourself!).

Learning to swim with the pool sharks04/17/2013
Pocket billiards, or pool, is a treacherous game. Beginners—mere fish, guppies and algae—flop like flounders on the felt, morsels for the local shark.
But three senior engineering students hope to rescue drowning players from the green depths with their senior design project, "Precision Pool-Aid," a projection device that shows players the likely trajectory of their shots — allowing them to swap their water-wings for shark fins.
The "Precision Pool-Aid" uses a digital camera that captures the relative position of the balls and the cue stick and sends the coordinates to a computer that calculates the trajectory of the intended shot. Then, and here's the kicker, the trajectory is projected onto the table as an illuminated arrow that adjusts itself as the player repositions the cue stick.
Precision Pool Aid, designed by engineering students, projects the trajectory of shots onto the table's surface.
The project — a massive feat of computer programming, in which the trigonometry, team member Matthew Watzman says, "was the easy part" — is what Watzman calls an "augmented reality table," a real pool table augmented by virtual elements.
He also calls it an "accelerated learning tool," designed to assist those chalking their cue sticks — sharpening their teeth, so to speak — for the first time.
"You can play for two to three years without feeling like you're getting better," he said. The device "trains your eye to recognize shots and gives you a better idea of the physics behind it."
The team's adviser, Gregory Lewis, electrical and computer engineering technical services director, adds that the invention can "also aid more experienced players in mastering difficult bank and combo shots."
The inventors, Watzman, Ali Yousef and Muzammil Mohammad, all of whom have secured jobs in engineering, plan to patent, market and commercialize their product.
From left: Matthew Watzman, Ali Yousef and Muzammil Mohammad.
Yousef, who says most pool halls would want the invention, foresees the game becoming a "virtual reality experience."
Indeed, the team plans on adding sound and visual effects — such as fireworks that are projected when a ball is pocketed — to their customized table, which is already decked with LED lights around the perimeter that flash when balls are sunk.
The important point, though, is that more billiard balls, and fewer flattened fish, will be sunk on that treacherous green cloth.

For Sophia Meredith Libman, in whose memory and honor the Sophia M. Libman National Endowment for the Humanities Professorship is named, "education opened a door to the world."
Sophia, (pronounced Sophie) was born Aug. 21, 1916, in Pulaski County, Va. When she was four years old, she moved to Westminster, Md., where her father had purchased a Coca-Cola franchise. Sophia attended Western Maryland College for one year before transferring to Hood, where she majored in English. In 1937, she became the first member of her family to graduate from college. Following graduation, she studied at Yale University for a year and then took courses at a secretarial school and worked in Washington, D.C.
"But it was Hood that opened the world to her," said her husband Frank Libman of Westminster. "She had a thirst for education."
Frank, who was born Oct. 7, 1919, in New York City, met Sophia at Hoffman's Boarding House in Westminster. Sophia was staying temporarily at Hoffman's while her parents traveled. Frank had moved to Westminster to work for Congoleum-Nairn after graduating with a degree in chemical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The couple was married Dec. 11, 1944, and had three sons: David, William, and Frank.
In 1948, Frank assumed a leadership role in the family business, managing the Coca-Cola franchise until it was sold back to Coca-Cola upon his retirement in 1991.
"I was busy at work, and Sophia was busy raising the children," he explained. "Sophia was also active with the American Association of University Women and the League of Women Voters. She developed a passion for art, and took painting lessons for almost 50 years," said Frank. "She painted everything, and in all media."
In the fall of 1999, Sophia became ill while on a cruise, and upon returning home, was diagnosed with lung cancer. Prior to her diagnosis, her art teacher had arranged for a one-woman art exhibit sponsored by the Maryland Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons at the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore. Fifty of her paintings were chosen for the exhibit, "Beyond Vision," an art show for the visually impaired in recognition of the fact that Sophia, an artist, had continued to paint even though she suffered from macular degeneration.
"It was fabulous for her," said Frank, noting that the Baltimore Sun had published a feature on her and the exhibit.
Sophia died March 4, 2000, and in recognition of her love for Hood, Frank established an endowed chair at the College. Beginning this fall, Genevieve S. Gessert will serve as the first Sophia M. Libman National Endowment for the Humanities Professor. For Frank, it is a fulfillment of his wish to honor Sophia, and reflects his dedication and appreciation of the liberal arts.
Frank continues to reside in Westminster, where he is active in his community, serving as a director of the YMCA and involved in fundraising for the Carroll County General Hospital. He is also an active member and fundraiser for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation.
Over the years, his business interests led to real estate land development and the purchase of a local hardware store which he developed into a flourishing plumbing business. He also takes pride in having helped to design the airport in Westminster.
"Sophia and I both loved to fly," he said, explaining that both of them were pilots, often flying in and out of the Frederick airport.
But for both Sophia and Frank, the Libman legacy at Hood College reflects their appreciation and support of education and the creative arts. Thanks to Frank's vision, Hood now has in place a program which will support, on a rotating basis, a scholar, who will be at Hood for three years, teaching and developing a series of cross-disciplinary programs.
"Sophia believed, as do I, that education is the key to opportunity," said Frank.

Ke$Ha drank her own urine for a stomach-churning segment on her upcoming MTV documentary.
The Die Young singer has revealed she "chugged" her pee after a pal told her it was good for her metabolism - and her filmmaker brother caught the moment on tape for their upcoming film, Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life.
She tells the BBC, "He got all the things you would want to see and all the things you wouldn't really want to see - making out with dudes, drinking my own pee, jumping out of a building, jumping out of aeroplanes, swimming with sharks...
"I was told drinking my own pee was good... Somebody tried to take my pee away from me and I said, 'That is mine!' So I snatched it up and took a chug and it was really gross so I don't do it anymore."

So FRESH! So CLEAN!
The Eucalyptus lotion is my favorite pick-me-up at the office. The scent is lovely in that it is so clean smelling and really refreshes me. I also love that the lotion isn't too greasy.

Poor Packaging
Bad packaging
I have been buying the body lotion for many many years because I absolutely love the product. Unfortunately they have recently changed the packaging on the body lotion so it no longer comes with a top that pops up for easy use and you don't pour out more than you need. Now the mouth of bottle is considerably bigger without a pop up top. I inquired about purchasing a pump or pop up top to fit the bottle but they don't offer it. Unfortunately this is extremely inconvenient for me now. I use it daily on my arms but this slows me down and far to much comes out that I need. May sound like a silly issue but it's one more item in my morning routine that made my life easier in the morning. Not any more. A pump or pop up top should be offered to purchase with this. Actually should be given with it. It's a very large opening and cannot find a top to fit

Fresh shower
When I first smelled this frangrance, it immediately brought me to a place that I have yet to discover as a real place, instead brought me to a place that I would like to be transported to in my mind. It smelled like a combination of the Irish country side surrounded by Kaffir lime trees and ocean air. I love the sutleness of Eucalyptus and the light wisp of it's smell as you walk by a room. I have given this lotion as a gift and can always tell once someone applies it on, even after a whole day!!

Clean, fresh, strong
I've used Eucalyptus body lotion for years. I have very, very dry skin and live in a dry place. Thymes lotions are my favorite for their skin-nourishing qualities: they go on thick but absorb quickly and smoothly, last all day in protection and scent, but never feel greasy or heavy. Perfection in a bottle! Eucalyptus smells strong and lovely, clean and fresh.
The cologne had always been a favorite so naturally I decided to try the lotion while out shopping one day! So glad I did!!

PINE GROVE — Dale Scobee knows Pine Grove like the back of his hand.
He was born here in 1913. His first memory is of the jitney trundling along the railroad tracks past his family's house on Mason Road. He was a member of the first class to graduate from the new Pine Grove School, in 1927.
And that same year, when he was 14, he joined the Pine Grove Grange.
That was a lifetime ago. On Saturday, Dale, who turns 89 next week, will be honored at a reception for 75 years of service to the grange.
"I think there are a lot of other people who have done more," Dale says. "I don't think I've done anything important — just lived here, that's all."
But for most of his life, living in Pine Grove revolved around the Pine Grove Grange.
Dale began attending grange meetings with his mother, Meta (Lage) Scobee, when he was a boy. The grange was then located across Van Horn Drive from where it now sits, and was the focal point of the Pine Grove community.
"Practically everyone belonged to the grange," Dale says. "All social activities revolved around it." A talented musician, Dale was asked by grange members to play the drums for them at ritual occasions long before he became a member.
"Anybody could join the grange when you turned 14 as long as you were involved in agriculture," he says. By then, Dale lived with his mother and older sister in a house across the road from the Pine Grove School. Meta Scobee worked as a cook at the school, and supplemented the family's income by raising pigs, chickens and cows.
"When I graduated from high school in 1931 my mother asked me if I wanted to go to college or farm," Dale recalls. He chose farming and never looked back.
The next year Dale and his mother bought five acres of orchard land — then mostly cherry trees — on what is now Lacey Drive. Along with working the orchards, Dale continued to raise animals.
He met his wife, Mildred, that same year while working at a fruit packing house. The two were married in 1935 and had two children over the next four years. They bought more land — eventually operating a 25-acre orchard planted in apples, cherries and pears — and their family life became even more tied to the grange.
"(The grange) used to put on a dance every Saturday night," Dale recalls. "There would be pretty good crowds because that was all the entertainment we had in those days." Dale also attended business meetings at the grange, and "social night," held once a month.
"I spent quite a few hours there," he says, chuckling. Dale served as Master of the Pine Grove Grange in 1939-40, and secretary for 10 years beginning in 1941. While he was secretary, Dale and Mildred would drive around together to members' homes to collect the annual $3 dues.
"We had 100 percent paid membership for 10 years," Dale says.
Dale continued pursuing music, playing drums in several local bands and performing at grange dances and other parties around the valley. Through the grange, Dale became involved with the Pine Grove Rural Fire Department, serving as a volunteer firefighter for many years and as fire chief for four years. He also served as secretary of the Oregon Fire Chief's Association.
Dale got deeply involved in another grange project, working to renovate and provide ongoing maintenance for the Pine Grove Butte Cemetery. He wound up serving as a board member and led an effort to establish financial stability for the cemetery.
The grange continued to be a focal point of the Pine Grove community throughout much of Dale and Mildred's orcharding life together. But by the time they turned the business over to their son and daughter-in-law in the mid-1980s — and moved to a new house at the edge of their orchard — grange membership was waning. The dozens of small orchards around Pine Grove were being consolidated into a few large ones. Home entertainment, busy schedules and social activities scattered around the valley took the focus away from the grange.
Despite the waning role of the grange in the Pine Grove community, Dale continued his involvement in what has been a staple of his life — even after Mildred died in 1999. He currently serves as an executive committee member, attending a monthly business meeting at the grange.
"There were about five people at the last meeting," Dale says wistfully. "In this area, granges have pretty much gone out of business."
The Pine Grove Grange will be very much back in business Saturday.
And Dale Scobee will be right at home.
The reception for Dale Scobee is from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Pine Grove Grange.
