A documentary about an all-female wildland firefighting crew. An inventive take on being forced to attend boarding school. A drama about an Inuit hunter who witnesses a murder and must choose between two friends.
These are a few of the stories that make up the 2011 Native Eyes Film Showcase, which highlights Native American filmmaking.
"The quality of the filmmaking is really stellar this year," said Vicky Westover, who is the director of the Hanson Film Institute at the University of Arizona.
The showcase, which started Wednesday and runs through Sunday, represents a variety of film - from documentaries and dramas to award-winning shorts.
"You get to see something about native culture that you don't normally have access to," Westover said. "The stories are very interesting and original."
Most, but not all, of the filmmakers are Native American. Many of the films have previously been shown at respected international film festivals, but are unlikely to get a national release, Westover said
"One of the reasons we do this is because Tucson audiences don't have much of an opportunity to see this work," she explained.
Founded in 2005, the showcase also gives Tucsonans a chance to discover emerging filmmakers.
For example, "On the Ice," a narrative about a murder in Alaska, started out as a short film, which the filmmaker, Andrew Okpeaha MacLean, developed with support from the Sundance Institute). It will premiere Friday night, with an encore performance Sunday afternoon.
"Burnt," a film by Alejandro Valbuena about a romance between two young men, is one of the shorts that Westover said she finds just amazing. "It has a delightful surprise in it."
Westover served as a producer on "Apache 8," a documentary about all-female wildland firefighter crew from the White Mountain Apache Tribe. The film has been shown extensively on public television and has screened at several film festivals.
But Friday's screening as part of the showcase represents its Arizona premiere on the big screen.
Several of the firefighters plan to attend, along with filmmaker Sande Zeig, who lives in Tucson.
Once she learned about the Apache 8 - which was the longest-lasting all-women firefighting crew in the nation - Zeig said she knew she had to tell the women's stories in film. "Everything opened up for me to do it. People opened their hearts and their lives," she said.
The film focuses primarily on four of the women, who range from their 20s into their 50s.
"They are extraordinary," said Zeig, who met them in 2006 and started filming the next year.
The crew has since disbanded, but three of the women are still firefighters.
"Apache 8" was produced by the Hanson Film Institute and partially founded by National Geographic's All Roads Film Project Grant. It will return to Reel Arts 6 on Dec. 9 and run through Dec. 15.

Director in Sells on Sunday
Billy Luther, a filmmaker of Navajo, Hopi and Laguna Pueblo descent, will attend the screenings of two of his films Sunday on the Tohono O'odham Nation.
Released this year, "Grab" offers an intimate look at a tradition of the Laguna Pueblo Tribe in New Mexico.
The documentary follows three families as they prepare for the annual "Grab Day," when members throw water and food items from the rooftop of a home to people standing below in a community-wide prayer of abundance, thanks and renewal.
"Grab" was also part of the Loft Film Fest last month. The showcase will also screen "Miss Navajo," which is a celebration of women and tradition in Navajo culture explored through one young woman's quest for the Miss Navajo Nation crown.

Scioli then passed a 98-foot-tall tower fitted with cameras, a high-tech extra set of eyes that he and other agents presumably would welcome. "Don't have much to say about that," the agent said tersely.
Scioli then passed a 98-foot-tall tower fitted with cameras, a high-tech extra set of eyes that he and other agents presumably would welcome. "Don't have much to say about that," the agent said tersely.
The tower is part of a network of cameras and sensors rolled out with great fanfare by Chicago-based Boeing Co. three years ago but now is largely disowned by Border Patrol agents and lambasted by lawmakers and government watchdogs.
The so-called virtual fence, which has received $500 million from the Department of Homeland Security, should have been fully in place already in southern Arizona. Instead, the department scrapped the first attempt, which cost Boeing at least $40 million in overruns.
Now, Boeing is trying to revive the troubled project after the U.S. government gave the company a second chance this month.
Homeland Security officials say technology is a necessary tool to track not only illegal immigrants but also violent Mexican drug smugglers and even potential terrorist threats.
Boeing has declined interview requests about its work on the project. But at a hearing this month, the company tried to reassure skeptical lawmakers of progress in fixing glitches.
"I am amazed that we have spent [this much] and don't have a system that works," Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D- Texas, told Boeing and government representatives at the hearing. "America is screaming for the right kind of security."
The U.S. government has spent $3.7 billion on border improvements, including fencing and additional personnel, since fiscal 2005.
The government has more than doubled the number of Border Patrol agents, to about 20,000, and built about 600 miles of fencing along the southern border since 2006. But Homeland Security officials say technology is vital -- one leg of a three-legged stool, they call it -- because of the harsh terrain.
Boeing won a contract in 2006 for the Secure Border Initiative and so far has received more than $500 million to implement a network of cameras, sensors and radar that has been plagued by glitches, according to the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress.
Flash rainstorms would trip the radar accidentally. Satellite communications -- initially thought to be more efficient in terrain where cell towers are sparse -- took too long to transmit instructions from cameras to control centers to agents in the field. By the time the agents reached locations minutes later where the cameras had registered a hit, the illegal immigrants had moved on.
A prototype with a name out of science fiction, Project 28, went over budget and Boeing had to kick in at least $40 million beyond what the government paid the company.
With Boeing's three-year technology contract set to expire in September amid few results, the Department of Homeland Security went back to the drawing board. To the surprise of some lawmakers, the government this month exercised a one-year contract option with Boeing.
Mark Borkowski, the Homeland Security official who directs the Secure Border Initiative, said that "the milk is spilled" and that it would have been too difficult and costly to start over with a new firm. He said the government would not have renewed the contract if it thought Boeing was "hopeless."
"Saying it isn't hopeless isn't exactly high praise. It is more than that," Borkowski said in a telephone interview. "Boeing hasn't necessarily distinguished itself, but they are improving. They are on an upward trend."
The network of cameras and sensors was scheduled to be fully operational by this year. Now, the government's new projection for full operation has been pushed back to 2016.
Timothy Peters, Boeing's vice president for global security systems, told lawmakers this month that the company is working to resolve issues in the lab so the network will be "robust and reliable."
Lawmakers remained skeptical. "We want to believe you, but in the context of the past, it's going to be tough," Rep. Christopher Carney, D-Pa., told project representatives.
Borkowski said the government deserves part of the blame for approving an overly ambitious project without sufficient testing. The government mistakenly thought it could use technology available "off the shelf" instead of developing new systems, he said.
He said the government has simplified the project, removing in-vehicle monitors that didn't work well. The project also has switched from satellite to microwave communication signals. The goal is to give agents a system that merges data from ground sensors, video cameras and radar.

NASCAR's Larson unhappy with stint in 24 Hours
NASCAR's Larson unhappy with stint in 24 Hours
Jan. 26, 2014
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Larson's fourth career race on a road course didn't start as planned.
Larson was flagged for speeding as he pulled off pit road after taking over from Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan in his debut Saturday in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. He was forced to serve a stop-and-go penalty in his Chip Ganassi Racing entry.
He later flat-spotted his tires on a re-start, fell a lap off the pace and struggled to maneuver through traffic.
When he was done, the budding NASCAR star was disappointed in his performance and unsure if he'd get another chance behind the wheel of the No. 02 Ford in the four-driver lineup.
"I didn't go off track, so I guess that was good," Larson shrugged. "But I almost did probably a handful of times. I'm just disappointed in how I did. Hopefully I get back in."
The 21-year-old is moving into the Sprint Cup Series this year for Ganassi after just one year in the Nationwide Series. The bulk of his career was spent racing sprint cars, and his only previous experience on road courses were Nationwide races at Mid-Ohio, Road America and Watkins Glen.
Still, Ganassi tabbed him for a spot on a stout lineup that included reigning IndyCar champion Scott Dixon, Kanaan and Marino Franchitti.
Dixon, the lead driver on the No. 02, praised Larson before his stint.
"He's a smart kid who is obviously very talented, and I've had some of my best nights at the Chili Bowl watching him," Dixon said. "But for his first time, and I don't know how many road courses he has done — probably not many, probably in the single digits — he's adapted very quickly. He's a quick learner and doesn't complain much. He'll put on a great show when he gets in the car. Looking forward to seeing his big future."
But Larson wasn't thrilled following his stint, mostly because he felt he had been much better in testing and practice sessions.
"I thought I adapted quick, so that's another reason I was disappointed with how I did," he said. "In the practicing and stuff, I was quite a bit quicker than how I was in the race, and I was smoother. I don't know? Maybe the track was dirty or something?"

Over the years, our team has seen many of our clients invest significant time and energy into their strategy launch. We've consistently seen our clients cultivate positive relationships with media partners, government officials, institutions and corporations in the effort of successfully marketing their community economic and development strategies.
Communities such as Des Moines, who since 2011 has partnered with top leaders in the Central Iowa region on their Capital Crossroads initiative, have had highly successful campaigns. In 2010, Birmingham launched a comprehensive five-year economic development strategy by the name of Blueprint Birmingham. Other communities like Watertown, South Dakota have been praised by their local media for their H20-20 visioning process. Their initiative has been recognized as "perhaps the most intensive citizen-driven effort ever developed in South Dakota" by the Watertown Public Opinion newspaper.
Market Street's recently completed process in Topeka, Kansas has also received great coverage from the local newspaper, The Topeka Capital-Journal. But on Sunday August 6, the community and the newspaper took things to the next level with an outstanding 30-page special section that highlights the community's Momentum 2022 strategy and the programs, initiatives, and people that will work to make Topeka-Shawnee County a more successful and prosperous place.
The strength of the Momentum 2022 strategy and the media coverage can be attributed to visionary community and staff leadership. A volunteer Steering Committee chaired by Shawnee County Commissioner Shelly Buhler, Topeka Mayor Larry Wolgast, and Bartlett & West CEO Keith Warta. The Committee was comprised of dynamic leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, including the publisher of The Topeka Capital-Journal, Zach Ahrens. With the aid of his team, Matt Pivarnik, who is the President and CEO of the Topeka Chamber and Go Topeka, has worked closely and tirelessly with The Topeka Capital-Journal and others to ensure that Momentum 2022 is well-publicized as the blueprint for the community's future. Based on this coverage we would say they are well on their way!
A sampling of some of the articles from Momentum 2022 here:

Office hours: Tuesday and Thursday: 5-6 p.m.
I have spent the last few decades moving from one coast to the other and back again: I grew up in New York and attended college in Maine; I expatriated to California in 2001 for my graduate degree and first teaching job; and I made my return to the east coast in August 2009 to join the Hood College faculty.
I am a music historian with a special interest in French music of the 19th and 20th centuries. My work concerns the ways in which French music reflected the cultural, political, and intellectual trends of this period: 19th century philosophy, the French Third Republic, the birth of abstract painting, the two World Wars, etc. More generally, I am interested in theories of modernism and the avant-garde in the 20th century, as well as in the historiography of music--how the story of Western art music is told and what the manner of storytelling says about our beliefs about music and culture today.

The American Dietetic Association had its annual meeting this past week in beautiful Chicago. The cancer prevention advice below came from this meeting and you and I should heed every single word.
- Get at least 30 minutes of activity every single day.
- Cut back on sodium, to the tune of way back.
- Eat a lot more vegetables, and eat a variety of them. Don't just eat the same ones over and over again, add more to the mix.
- The same goes with fruit – eat a wide variety of fruit and do so often.
- Eat more beans and whole grains.
- Cut back on beef, pork, and lamb.
- Avoid processed meats.
- Cut back on your calories.
- Avoid sugary drinks. Try to drink your coffee and tea unsweetened. (UNsweet tea? How unSouthern!)
- Lose weight if you're overweight – but don't become underweight.
Walter Willett, MD, DrPH, an epidemiology professor who leads the nutrition department the Harvard School of Public Health pointed out that being as lean as possible within the healthy weight range – is "the most important, by far."
All the more reason to watch what we eat more closely. Replacing red meat with more vegetables and fruit would help take care of the weighty issue, as would (cough, wheeze) unsweet tea in place of sweet tea or soft drinks.
Dr. Willett also said that Vitamin D supplements may lower risk of colorectal cancer as well as other cancers.

Heimerer College and FES are organizing the Spring School on Migration and Public Health in Pristina, Kosovo. The main objective of the school is provision of Kosovo youth with the required expertise on research and evidence-based policymaking. This, due to the fact that the selected students will be part of the decision-making mechanisms in the near future which will ensure sustainable development in Kosovo. Having said this, politically involved students are more than welcome to apply. Political reforms and action with responsibility are urgently needed; Kosovo ranks last with its socio-economic indicators in comparison with the neighboring countries in Europe.
Mobility/ Migration: Globally it is estimated that approximately 3% of the world population (232 Million) are migrants. In Kosovo one out of every four Kosovans lives or resides outside of his/her birth country. Kosovo diaspora financial flows correspond to one fifth of Kosovo's GDP. Approx. 13,000 Individuals leave Kosovo to work study or just live abroad annually. 15% of GDP flows into Kosovo by the short-term migrants and Diaspora. Every third Kosovan between 18 and 36 years old plans to migrate. Kosovo Agency of Statistics (KAS) estimates Kosovo Diaspora at 703,978 Individuals. Having in mind these facts it is crucial to have a debate between all Kosovo and foreign institutions involved in migration and development.
Public Health: Public health is recognized as a human right. It is a precondition for- and an outcome/-indicator of all three dimensions of human development: environmental-, economic- and social sustainability. Well-performing public health system can help tackle the social determinants and improve public health equity. A healthier population improves the overall level of productivity in the economy, increases employment and thus helps to reduce poverty, and improves school attendance of children. At present, the Kosovo public health infrastructure is considered to be one of the most underdeveloped in the Balkan region and some of the worst public health results in Europe can be found in Kosovo. UNDP Kosovo's recent crowdsourcing initiative determined that Kosovans prioritize "public health" as one of the most pressing challenges.
The Spring School will consist of one learning module: A 10 days in-residence module, 5 w/h daily (May, 2017, in Pristina). Spring School participants will have access to an electronic library and on-line forum for discussions to be moderated by thematic facilitators. The best 25 – 30 students, based on grades (above the average) and English language proficiency will be selected to participate in the Spring School's in-residence module, to be held in Pristina. The in-residence module will consist of practical exercises and discussions led by experts and field professionals (from the government, civil society, academia, and international/ local development organizations operating in Kosovo).
The best performing students who successfully complete the module will be awarded with Spring School completion certificates as per recommendation of the evaluation panel. Additionally, the Heimerer College will award two best students with a Scholarship, whereas the best three Research/ Academic Essays/ Papers submitted by the Groups (5 persons each group) will be awarded with 300 Euros (1st Price), 200 Euros (2nd Price), and 100 Euros (3rd Price).
Please note: The in-residence module requires that all selected participants make their own arrangements and start/end the planned lessons on the arranged time. For additional information in relation to registration feel free to contact Shkumbin Gashi.
For final confirmation the selected candidates should additionally send a letter of motivation to Shkumbin Gashi email@example.com

This weekend more than 300 chefs and food professionals from across the country will convene in Charleston to address big questions about the sustainability of our nation's food supply at the Chefs Collaborative Sustainable Food Summit.
One of the most important issues to be discussed at this annual gathering of the culinary community is protecting our seafood supply.
Seafood is a regular part of our national diet in the United States, and globally the numbers on consumption are staggering. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), more than 3 billion people depend on seafood for their sole or main source of protein. A half a billion people depend on it for their livelihood. For the sake of environmental, economic and food security in both the developed and developing world, we can't afford to miss our opportunity to safeguard the world's fish stocks.
The good news is that the sustainable seafood movement is gaining momentum. Two stories illustrate this and show how the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) empowers fisheries, commercial buyers and consumers alike: Patagonian toothfish and spiny dogfish.
Consider the Patagonian toothfish. This once unpopular species became a blockbuster in the 1990s under the more marketable name of Chilean sea bass. But the fish became popular amidst serious concerns by the scientific community about illegal fishing, overfishing, bycatch and other issues, and responsible chefs removed it from their menus.
Then a single fishery decided to make the necessary environmental improvements to pursue MSC certification, the world's leading and, according to independent studies, the most credible standard for seafood sustainability. In 2004, the South Georgia Patagonian toothfish longline fishery became the world's first toothfish fishery to meet the MSC's rigorous standard. Other toothfish fisheries soon followed.
Today, more than 60 percent of the world's toothfish catch comes from fisheries that are either MSC certified or under assessment for certification. Now, chefs are putting toothfish back on the menu, rewarding their customers with this delicious fish as well as rewarding the fisheries that invested in significant change to preserve the resource.
Spiny dogfish offers an interesting parallel. The North Atlantic fishery for dogfish was considered at risk 10 years ago, but has successfully been rebuilt to the point where the MSC certified the fishery last year. Today, this formerly maligned fish is gaining attention as a delicious, plentiful species that, while still domestically undervalued, could become the next big catch if the public can be persuaded to try it.
At least two thirds of the fish eaten in the U.S. is eaten in restaurants, and chefs exert a huge influence over our seafood choices. They can feature sustainable species in their restaurants, remove endangered species, and encourage customers to try underutilized species that are fished sustainably. A reliable certification of sustainability enables them to make informed decisions about what and what not to serve.
The MSC certification program has emerged as the most credible and commonly used standard for seafood sustainability and traceability in the world. Today, more than 20,000 product lines in 106 countries bear the MSC eco-label, indicating the fish is from, and fully traceable back to, a sustainable fishery. More than 11 percent — 10 million metric tons — of the global wild-caught seafood harvest is either certified or in assessment to the MSC standard. In the U.S., more than half is certified.
The MSC is proud to participate in the Chefs Collaborative summit this weekend to engage with some of the most respected — and responsible — chefs in the country. Not coincidentally, dogfish and toothfish will play key roles in two sessions on seafood sustainability.
The first will explore how to turn unfamiliar species into enticing and delicious dishes to tempt the public. A representative from the MSC-certified spiny dogfish fishery will be there to showcase some stunning dogfish preparations. The second will look at the expanding options for sustainable seafood, from monkfish to Chilean sea bass.
As the culinary community gathers in Charleston, let's all do our part to enjoy seafood while protecting the world's supply. Whether ordering a longtime favorite fish or choosing less familiar fare when we see it on the menu, be sure to ask if it's certified for sustainability.
Kerry Coughlin is the regional director for North America, Latin America and the Russian Far East, and a member of the global senior management team, with the international Marine Stewardship Council.

Global Change Visualizations
|CFC-11 Deep
Ocean Penetration
CFC's are man-made pollutants which are extremely inert in sea water and detectable at very low concentrations. Observation concentrations provide a valuable measure of truth for computer models of ocean circulation, particularly with respect to their representation of deep water pathways.
Climate Change Simulation
|Climate Change Simulation
Temperature anomalies are simulated for the past and future over a 230 year period in a mid-range scenario.
|Climate Change: Drought may threaten much of globe within decades
This analysis concludes that warming temperatures associated with climate change will likely create increasingly dry conditions across much of the globe in the next 30 years, possibly reaching a scale in some regions by the end of the century that has rarely, if ever, been observed in modern times.
& Temperature Differences
Monthly average temperature differences are shown here between a 1% CO2 transient experiment and a control run of the Parallel Climate Model (PCM) at T42 resolution.
Gases & Sulfate Aerosols
Climate models are often used to simulate future climates assuming specific changes in our environment. Predicted global temperature changes are shown by computing the effects of expected increased atmospheric levels of carbon-dioxide and sulfate aerosols.
Gases & Surface Temperature Change
Surface temperature and its predicted change due to increased levels of greenhouse gases are simulated over a period of several decades using the NCAR Climate System Model.
|Polar Vortex
In early winter, cold temperatures result in the formation of a strong circumpolar flow in the stratosphere, known as the polar night vortex, producing favorable conditions for ozone depletion.
|Polar Vortex
High Resolution Simulation
This new simulation of the stratospheric polar night vortex breakdown was computed at a significantly higher resolution than the previous one (two to four times the horizontal and vertical resolution).
Ice and CO2 Levels
After 140 years of a 1% annual increase in CO2, this simulation shows a dramatic reduction in sea ice thickness at the North Pole. Results for the South Pole are also shown.
Aerosol Evolution
The NCAR Community Climate Model (CCM3) is used to model sulfate aerosols in the atmosphere that originate from coal burning and smelting operations around the globe. These visualizations show the daily global distribution of aerosols during a single model year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ — InMage Systems Inc., the leading provider of business continuity and disaster recovery software for medium and large enterprises, today announced the release of their Linux VX Client for DR-Scout software which provides true block-level Continuous Data Protection.
"With the rapid adoption of Linux in a variety of markets, the need for continuous business protection becomes even more critical," said John Ferraro, president and CEO of InMage Systems. "InMage's DR-Scout allows companies using Linux to start with a very basic configuration and scale upward to the most complex of installations. Since InMage's software integrates with existing storage and supports heterogeneous environments, companies often find DR-Scout to be more cost effective than maintaining their existing solution."
Some key features with the Linux release of DR-Scout include: — 'True' Block-level CDP for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery — Support for RedHat Enterprise Linux 4, 5, SuSe Enterprise Linux, 9, 10 — Application integration with database servers including MySQL and Oracle, and other enterprise Linux applications to provide 'near-zero' application failover
"InMage Systems has taken a different approach to disk-based solutions focusing on proactive, pain-free recovery," said Tom Urban, Director of Marketing for InMage. "CDP is the engine that drives the solution — but it is the included features such as Application-Consistent Failover, One to Many Replication, Simple Failover/Failback, Event Based Recovery, and Ease-of-Implementation that have accelerated the adoption of DR-Scout. We anticipate the same embrace of our solution in the Linux community that we have seen in other environments."

A lecture by
Deepak Gupta, Esq.
Friday, September 27
12:00 noon
Philip H. Corboy Law Center, Room 1401
Noted consumer advocate Deepak Gupta will discuss the growing assault on consumer rights and the relationship between antitrust law, consumer protection, arbitration, and class action litigation.

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
BREAKING NEWS: I have dry skin.
I love living in a city where I rarely have to drive anywhere (and let's be honest, no one wants me behind the wheel) but one of the downsides to walking everywhere is that when winter decides to come in like a wrecking ball, my whole damn body dries right out. For most of the year, I'm only battling dry hands, but now that I'm bashing around town like an angry little snow bunny, I have to do even more to keep my skin hydrated and feeling, you know, human.
I haaate body lotion, have I mentioned that? But every night, I deign to smear it all over myself before I hop into bed, which is gross because being all lotioned up while underneath the covers makes me feel like a soggy, lukewarm burrito. Because I hate lotion so bad, I do my best to try everything possible that might help me avoid having to use it. Planning ahead! Here's where body scrubs come in.
I should be using these religiously all year round, but then again, there's a lot of things that I should be doing. Scrubs are great, duh. They help remove dead skin (obvi), improve blood circulation, stimulate cell regeneration, and best, allow your moisturizer to sink in more deeply, so you don't have to rub all of that gross lotion all over you so often.
One of my favorite brands right now is J.R. Watkins. Are you guys familiar with them? Oh my GOD, I am obsessed, especially with their Sugar & Shea Body Scrub, $12.
I got this scrub in the lemon cream scent and it smells so good that I genuinely thought about eating it. I didn't, but how can a product that smells this good not be edible?! That's just not logical.
So it smells good, and it feels amazing. The Sugar & Shea Body Scrub is really thick, so thick, in fact, that the first time I used it, I really had to work to get it out of its tube. It's packed with coconut oil and melts down into your skin, leaving it feeling intensely hydrated. It's not the coarsest scrub ever, so you wont feel like you're grinding off your skin, just removing all of the dry, dead skin cells and then massaging the coconut oil into that thirsty skin of yours. It leaves you smelling like a frosted lemon cake after you rinse which is the real reason you should use it.
Another scrub that I'm screaming over is the Peppermint Body Scrub by Malin + Goetz, $30.
I can never get enough peppermint in my life and I think that every beauty product should be available in some sort of peppermint variation. This scrub is a little lighter than the previous one because it's gel based, which is nice because it rinses clean without feeling like it has left behind any residue on your skin. The scrub is both a chemical and physical exfoliant as it is amino acid-based to break down dead skin cells, and has bamboo and PUMICE to gently wash them away.
The natural peppermint is cooling and invigorating and smells delicious! It leaves me jumping out of the shower, feeling like Mr. Mint, that guy from the Candy Land box.
Just, and I have to say this, because every time I buy a peppermint body wash, the sales person ALWAYS makes some wisecrack about how I should make sure to be careful when using it "down there," because it's really tingly, so I guess be careful while doing that. Like, I don't know why these people think I'm going to be specifically exfoliating my penis or something but that's not what's going on.
WILD COW, by Cowshed, $38.
This body scrub is currently available in a set with shower gel and body lotion. I wanted to try Cowshed products for the longest time, and it was totally worth the wait. Wild Cow is made with ginger and lemongrass, which is always a beautiful combination, not only because it smells great, but it's beneficial for your skin as well! Lemongrass oil is a natural toner, and ginger oil is warming, which is nice in the winter. The scrub smells so fresh and delicious, and I love the tiny bit of scent it leaves on my skin while I'm trying off and getting ready to brave the cold once more.
I love Cowshed and can't wait to play around with more of their products. Oh, they all sent me a fragrance called "Horny Cow," which is…perfect.
Okay so, what are your favorite scrubs? What scrubs should I take for a test drive? What ELSE should I be doing to avoid dry skin this winter? First one with a "No Scrubs" reference in the comments wins.

Quick Reference
Acronym for Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer. An early stored-program electronic digital computer, originally commissioned from the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School by the US Army in 1944 while the ENIAC was still under construction, but not operational until 1952. In 1945 John von Neumann prepared a proposal for the EDVAC that described the logical design of a computer with a "stored program", where the instructions to the machine would be stored in substantially the same fashion as the data. Although there is some disagreement as to whether von Neumann or the team of Mauchly and Eckert originated the stored-program concept, this was its first written documentation. Regardless of its origin, the stored-program model that formed the basis of the EDVAC design motivated all subsequent machine designs.

Home computers and point-of-sale (POS) devices are both being targeted by a recently identified piece of malware that has already compromised thousands of payment cards – the majority of which were issued in the United States.
On May 23, Arbor Networks researchers discovered Soraya, a piece of malware that combines memory scraping techniques found in Dexter, a POS malware, with form grabbing abilities seen in Zeus, a trojan that impacts PCs running Windows.
Using multiple techniques in the same malware is fairly uncommon, Matt Bing and Dave Loftus, a pair of security research analysts with Arbor Networks who wrote about the threat in a Monday post, told SCMagazine.com in a Tuesday correspondence.
"Memory scraping is typically only found in malware directly targeting [POS] systems, and form grabbing is typically [used] to steal data being sent to websites, including payment card information and passwords," Bing said.
The Soraya malware, which Bing and Loftus said likely dates back to March 2014, has already compromised thousands of payment cards.
The researchers were able to access payment card track data from a command-and-control server – the attacker made it temporarily available from a public location – and determined that more than 65 percent of cards were issued in the United States, notably in Idaho.
More than 21 percent of cards were issued in Costa Rica and more than 11 percent of cards were issued in Canada, according to the post, which adds that nearly 64 percent of compromised cards were debit cards and nearly 35 percent were credit cards.
The author of Soraya remains a mystery and there has been no solid evidence to show how the malware is being distributed, the researchers said, adding that they also have been unable to determine specific businesses or other victims that have been compromised.

You can build custom truck ladder racks yourself and save big bucks! Brand name truck racks can be expensive. I looked at several popular brands and was surprised at how much they cost. Ladder racks seemed relatively simple, so why not build them myself?
I did some calculations and concluded that I could build my own custom truck ladder racks for about half of what the brand name racks cost.
The racks described here were built specifically for a 2010 Toyota Tundra, but you can apply the same design concepts to your needs, and change the dimensions to match those of your vehicle. Also, though I could actually use them as ladder racks, I built mine to be primarily canoe racks. My canoe weighs about 80 lbs. (36 kg.).
The goal was to design my custom racks so that they would easily carry my canoe, plus anything else I might want to carry. I don't own a kayak, but I might someday, and they typically weigh less than canoes, so they would also make a great kayak rack system. All of the ladders I own weigh less than my canoe too, so as long as my racks can carry at least 80 lbs., then I should be okay.
I had an overall vision of what I wanted. Here are a few key points:
You may have noticed in the picture above, that the back rack is lower than the front rack. I did this to make it easier for me to load my canoe. You can do this too, or you can make the back rack the same as the front rack, but keep in mind that, whatever you are planning to carry with these racks, there's not something extending below the horizontal bar that would dent the top of your cab. These particular racks are designed with close clearance.
While still in the envisioning stage of my ladder rack project, I went to the hardware store to see what hardware was available that I could include in my design.
I concluded that 1" pipe, to use as the horizontal support, would be plenty strong enough to carry the required weight, but to function well as a canoe rack, I wanted something a little smoother to drag my canoe over so that the gunwales would not get scratched. I discovered that 1 1/4" PVC conduit would fit smoothly over the black plumbing pipe and would provide a smooth surface to drag my canoe over.
The pipe could be cut to length and threaded on both ends so that it could be screwed into pipe flanges that could be bolted onto wooden uprights.
That is the basic design of my truck ladder racks - horizontal pipe with flanges on each end, mounted to wooden uprights that fit into the stake bed holes of my truck.
Now that the basic design has been done, I needed to determine the size and shape of the uprights and the material I was going to use for them.
I made the back canoe rack first and used scrap 2x10 pressure treated pine as the material. This seemed strong enough, and probably would be just fine, but I thought about the future, and what might happen if the wood were to split and crack with age.
I built the front racks using two pieces of 3/4" plywood laminated together with wood glue, thinking that this choice of material wood never develop a split, and would probably be less likely to cup or crook.
Since I already built the back rack using pressure treated pine, I didn't see the need to rebuild it using plywood (at least not at this time). I suppose that time will tell, and after a few years, I might even determine that pressure treated pine works just as well, if not better than plywood.
The two diagrams below show the dimensions of the front (taller) and rear (shorter) racking system. If you want them both to be the same size, the front rack will also fit in the rear of your Toyota Tundra.
Here is a list of the materials that you will need to build both racks:
The material list above should cover everything except for the material used in the uprights, and that depends on the materials you choose to use (either 2x10 or plywood). If you are using 2x10, one 12' length should be enough to build either two "front" racks, or one "front" rack and one "rear" rack.
If you choose plywood, 1 sheet of 3/4" plywood (exterior grade) should be plenty to cut the 8 upright shapes.
The assembled racks can now be placed into the stake bed holes on your truck, and secured with ratchet straps to the tie down rings inside the bed.
|Rear Truck Ladder Rack - installed and strapped in place
* The total weight that these racks can carry has not been tested. I only tested them with the weight of my canoe (approximately 80 lbs.) on three separate successful trips.
* When strapping down my canoe, I strapped it to the tie down loops inside the bed, not the racks themselves. It is most likely okay to strap the canoe exclusively to the racks, but I felt that strapping it to the bed of the truck provided added security and piece of mind. I am still in the process of engineering the best tie down scenario.
* The material that you choose to use for the uprights is entirely up to you. I provided a couple of different options in this tutorial to show how either plywood or milled wood can be used.

Water Waves
Lesson 2 of 4
Objective: SWBAT explore and test amplitude and frequency by using balls and water to determine and visualize the crest and troughs of waves.
Big Idea: Water waves were one area my students were most familiar with and we will start here so that they can add to their prior knowledge and connect new learning to them.
Four Key Terms
There are four main vocabulary terms that students will begin to explore in this experiment. I write the following four terms onto the white board: low frequency, high frequency, high amplitude, and low amplitude. I then review with them the terms frequency and amplitude. It is here that I explain that the experiment will focus on these two main concepts. As a class, I have them help me interpret what high and low might look like and draw these onto the white board. This will be our reference during their group experiment.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Water Play
With the vocabulary in place, we are ready for the directions. Students will be given a tub of water and two different balls. I used baseballs and a bouncy ball. I remind students of the mass of the objects and we review this briefly. A ruler will need to be set into the water and cork will be used to measure the amplitude of the wave.
Each group will drop the balls into the water one at a time. The group will then observe what time of wave the ball creates. One team member should watch for amplitude, one for frequency, and the other drops the ball. They might need to drop the ball repeatedly in order to record the correct data. Students will then draw examples of the waves onto paper or their white board.

Observation Sharing
As the experiments occur, I monitor and prompt students in their thinking. When each group has determined the frequency and amplitude of the waves we are going to share our observations. This discussion is between groups and I am the facilitator. They will be able to correct and confirm each others thoughts. They will add more content and help each other learn then through me reviewing the information for them.

Juniors Potash Ridge and Australian Potash Sign Offtake Deals
Major miners like BHP Billiton continue to see promise in the potash industry.
Major potash miners continue to express confidence about the global market for the fertilizer, suggesting a bright outlook is in the cards for the rest of 2017.
At the beginning of June, BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BLT) said it sees global demand for potash growing by 2 to 3 percent each year through to 2030. According to the company, demand will be driven by an increase in the world's population, which will fuel crop demand growth of 50 percent by 2050.
In May, BHP Billiton said it could ask for board approval for its Jansen potash project in Saskatchewan as early as June 2018. Last week, the K+S-owned (ETR:SDF) Bethune mine produced its first tonnes of marketable potash in the province.
Potash spot prices have held steady through May and June at $214 per MT. However, they are down from $224, where they were at the end of 2016. Some analysts have expressed concern about oversupply; however, like BHP, other miners have expressed optimism about demand. For example, PotashCorp (TSX:POT,NYSE:POT) has said it expects potash demand to exceed supply in 2017.
Potash juniors sign offtake agreements
It's not only big companies that have a positive outlook for potash. Numerous juniors are working in the space, and on Monday (June 19), two signed offtake deals for projects they are working on.
Australian Potash (ASX:APC) signed a second memorandum of understanding (MOU) to supply up to 100 kilotonnes per year of sulfate of potash (SOP) to Hubei Agricultural Means of Production Group. The company has another offtake MOU with Sino-Agri Holdings Company.
Meanwhile, Potash Ridge (TSX:PRK) announced that its Quebec-based subsidiary, Valleyfield Fertilizer, has signed an offtake agreement with a leading fertilizer distribution company for up to 10,000 tonnes of SOP per year. That adds up to about 25 percent of the company's annual SOP production.
Other recently active potash companies include privately owned Michigan Potash Company. In late May, it proposed the creation of a $700-million potash extraction and processing operation that would develop a deposit discovered in 2013. The company is positioning itself as a "local choice" that would allow farmers to decrease their dependence on imported material from large international conglomerates.

I think this is the right actress. At about 40 minutes she is at a party, sitting on a sofa next to Tim Daly. He opens her top, exposing her bare breasts. Several times we see him caressing them over the next minute. Lighting's a little dim, but a clear view.

WOODBRIDGE—Mayor John E. McCormac announced yesterday that Woodbridge Township continues to set the pace as a statewide leader in "green" environmental and sustainable initiatives by actively seeking the designation as a certified "Sustainable Jersey" community. "Sustainable Jersey" is a certification program sponsored by the New Jersey League of Municipalities, which provides assistance to municipalities that want to go "green," control costs and save money, and take steps to sustain their quality of life over the long term.
"Woodbridge Township continues to plan for the future by implementing innovative, cost-effective, sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and energy efficient programs and initiatives geared to provide long-term 'green' benefits to the residents of Woodbridge's ten towns," said McCormac. "The 'Sustainable Jersey' Program provides municipalities with the know-how and resources needed to plan for a 'green' future. And, as a 'Sustainable Jersey' community, Woodbridge Township will be eligible to receive the tools, guidance, training and additional financial resources necessary to institute programs and initiatives that provide for long-term "green" savings and sustainability."
In announcing Woodbridge Township's application to the "Sustainable Jersey" Program, McCormac noted that key Woodbridge agencies, businesses, educational institutions, environmental groups and community associations are committed to the long-term project, including: the Woodbridge Township Municipal Council, the Mayor's Environmental Commission, the Woodbridge Township School District, the Woodbridge Redevelopment Agency, the Woodbridge River Watch Committee, the Woodbridge Economic Development Corporation, and various business, environmental, community and private sector groups and associations.
McCormac reported that Woodbridge is one of only a limited number of New Jersey municipalities seeking the "Sustainable Jersey" designation. Municipalities are certified after collecting 100 points from a list of sustainable actions (for the full list of sustainable actions go to www.SustainableJersey.com). Woodbridge anticipates that the township will score at least 450 points by planning, creating, or implementing various sustainable initiatives such as:
• Mayor's Environmental Commission and Executive Director Chris Adornato have taken a lead role in supporting "green" and sustainable initiatives;
• Implementation of a $7 million project to install energy-producing solar panels at the Community Center, Main Library, and five other municipal buildings. The solar panel project will save Township taxpayers long-term energy costs by putting in place a self-sustaining source of energy that will provide a portion of the Township's power needs for years to come;
• Creation of a "green" business recognition program;
• Purchase of energy-saving, fuel efficient hybrid vehicles to supplement the municipal fleet;
• Prior designation of Woodbridge as a Mayor's Wellness community;
• Designation of 106 acres in an underutilized industrial section for the development and construction of a state-of-the-art Enviro-Technology Incubator;
• Development of educational and instructional programs promoting "green" technology and sustainable programs for schools, community associations and local businesses;
• Opening a modern and efficient recycling and bulk waste "Convenience Center" at the Public Works facility in Keasbey;
• Installation of solar-powered, decorative street lights and trash compactors along primary thoroughfares;
• Installation of solar-powered pedestrian crosswalks at high-traffic intersections, including Main Street in downtown Woodbridge;
• Promotion of energy-efficient building and construction by municipal government and the private sector;
• Expansion of the Public Works recycling program to include the disposal of compact fluorescent light bulbs, electronics and computers;
• Replacing standard light bulbs with energy-saving compact fluorescent lighting at municipal buildings and facilities;
• Promoting "buy local" initiatives and creation of a downtown Farmer's Market for "Jersey Fresh" produce;
• Creation of a tree replacement program in parks and municipal properties;
• Introduction of a biodiesel fuel program to power township vehicles.

EASTCHESTER, N.Y. – Although the November general election is still four months away, three Eastchester Republicans already look like a sure thing to retain their seats on the Town Board.
Three seats will be on the ballot in November, including that of town supervisor. Last month, Eastchester Republicans unanimously voted to support the incumbents, Supervisor Anthony Colavita and council members Fred Salanitro and Luigi Marcoccia. Now, the Westchester County Independence Party has spread its endorsement to the trio.
The party, which is chaired by Giulio "Doc" Cavallo, endorsed all three incumbent Republicans, a move that was anticipated and has occurred prior to previous elections.
Local Democrats have expressed little desire to challenge for the Independence line, and do not plan to nominate any candidates for the two open council seats. Michael Denning has been endorsed by the Democrats to run against Colavita for supervisor.
All three Republicans are familiar with local politics. Colavita is looking to remain in office for his sixth term, while Marcoccia hopes to serve his second consecutive term, and Salanitro, who was on the board in 2008 before taking a year off and rejoining in 2010, is hopeful of remaining a council member.
Council members serve four-year terms, with the supervisor serving a two-year term. .
Colavita, who has been in office for nearly a decade, said that he looks to continue improving Eastchester for residents. Under his leadership, the town board plans to privatize and consolidate contracts that can save taxpayers money. The board also wants to improve senior citizen housing and Lake Isle Country Club.
Marcoccia, a lifelong Tuckahoe resident, was an unexpected appointment to the board after Council Member Sheila Marcotte was elected to the Westchester County Board of Legislators in 2010. He said he feels it's important to reach out to the town's two villages, Bronxville and Tuckahoe, to increase cohesion and transparency.
Salanitro, a private attorney in the Bronx, is a former chair of the Eastchester Zoning Board of Appeals. If elected, he plans to focus on recreation and beautifying the town, beginning with improvements to town parks to accommodate different sports teams.

Posting your thesis or dissertation to Dissertations and Theses Full Text (ProQuest) gives scholars all over the world access to your work. Because your thesis becomes fully searchable, students and researchers are able to benefit from the work you put into your project.
Before you sit down to submit your thesis to ProQuest, here are a few things to do:
Subject: choose from a list provided by ProQuest (see full list).
Identifiers/Keywords: terms not captured in your title or abstract. This could include the kind of theory you use in your thesis or secondary authors on which your project focuses.
Title: include terms like author names and book titles, to increase the visibility of your thesis.
For example, here is the citation from a recent thesis posted to ProQuest:
Subject: British and Irish literature; Philosophy
Classification: 0593: British and Irish literature, 0422: Philosophy
Identifier / keyword: Philosophy, religion and theology, Language, literature and linguistics, Forster, E. M. (Edward Morgan), Howards end, Language, Tractatus, Wittgenstein
Title: Beyond the Limits of Language: Reading the Evolution of E.M. Forster's Prophets Through the Philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein
You will also be asked to provide the names of your advisor and committee members, department and degree type.
Copyright issues: It is your responsibility to follow the law governing "fair use" of any copyrighted materials (photographs, reproductions of art work, poems, etc.) used in a thesis or dissertation, and to secure any necessary permissions. ProQuest will not accept a thesis or dissertation without the necessary permissions.
Access the ProQuest information sheet on copyright guidelines, including a sample copyright permission letter.
Open Access versus Traditional Publishing: ProQuest will ask you to choose one of these two options.
Open Access allows your thesis to be viewed by scholars all over the world, increasing the visibility of your work. Theses published for Open Access with ProQuest will be available at no charge for viewing or downloading by anyone with access to the Internet. There is a fee charged for Open Access publishing, which you will be asked to pay (the fee is currently $95.00).
Under Traditional Publishing, as the owner of intellectual property and author of the work, you contract with ProQuest to reproduce, distribute and sell copies of the work. ProQuest then pays you a certain portion of the revenue thus generated. This option is free.
ProQuest provides information regarding each of these publishing options and how to choose the correct option.
ProQuest/UMI notes:
"When should students publish their graduate works on an open access basis?
It depends on the nature of their research. If they are focused on ensuring the widest possible distribution of their work, or they have benefited from public funding, they would be well served by the Open Access Publishing PLUS publishing option. It is the best way to ensure world wide access to their graduate research. Conversely, if a dissertation will contain patentable or other sensitive material, they should consider using our Traditional publishing option instead."
Find more information about the benefits of each publishing model.
You should format your document for both printing and online posting as follows:
In Microsoft Word, page numbers can be added by choosing Insert > Page Number > Bottom of Page, and then choosing the option which places the number in the center.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences provides more information on formatting and pagination.
ProQuest requires a single PDF file be submitted -- to prevent alteration of your document and to provide a uniform look to all theses and dissertations.
Embed fonts:
In Microsoft Word, click the circular Office button in the top left corner. At the bottom of the new window, click "Word Options." Choose "Save" from the sidebar on the left. Click the box that says "Embed fonts in the file."
Embedding fonts preserves the appearance of your document.
Create PDF:
In Microsoft Word, click the circular Office button in the top left corner. Click "Save As." Choose "PDF or XPS." Make sure "PDF" is chosen from the dropdown menu marked "Save as Type." Name the file. Click "Publish."
If you have multiple Word documents, you will need to combine them into one PDF. An easy way to do this is save them all as PDFs. Then open Adobe Acrobat and choose "Combine Files." Add all files and arrange them in order. Click "Next." When Acrobat has finished processing the files, click "Save."
ProQuest provides a full tutorial on creating a PDF in Adobe Acrobat and a list of troubleshooting questions and answers.
If your department requires a bound copy of your thesis, the Library's Resource Management Center can help. See their guidelines for instructions.

Claire Chan
Final Year Student, Dual Degree Program in Technology Management
Founder of Sensbeat
During my four years at HKUST, I have been provided with opportunities that I would never have even thought about at high school. In studying at HKUST, I have had the chance to travel the world for different conferences and competitions on topics ranging from technology to human liberation. I have met and talked to world leaders, studied in another top global university, founded "HKUST Great Minds" to spread the power of ideas, and participated in voluntary work on the other side of the world. Crucially,HKUST also helped me to meet a group of talented people with similar interests, which is how we came to create our emotion-sharing app called Sensbeat.
Original co-founders Leo Wong, Ben Chan and Conrad Lo initially established Sensbeat following a meeting amongst themselves in the Library.But word quickly spread at HKUST. I joined the team soon after,along with other members,as Sensbeat began to gain more recognition.
Why join a start-up enterprise? I believe people at HKUST are special. We are passionate and courageous. HKUST has also provided a great deal of support since Sensbeat was formed. Sensbeat is currently focused on sharing emotion through music. Our professors have been very willing to share their experiences and networks to help us, and we have been able to gain knowledge from their research in relevant areas, such as music pattern recognition and other interesting subjects. This process of seeking knowledge has been really enriching, and can only be done at university where people are generous and sincere in sharing their passion.
I am glad to see that HKUST has been increasing its efforts to promote entrepreneurship, through the Entrepreneurship Center and activities such as the Venture Entrepreneurship Festival. For a student start-up, such support can be decisive. With the ecosystem HKUST is trying to create, I believe that we all have a higher potential to succeed. Sensbeat is now close to being launched publicly and we are all very excited about making HKUST proud and, eventually, Hong Kong proud.

EVENT: Saving Pets Challenge 2015
FRIENDS OF ARLINGTON ANIMAL SERVICES wrote -
We are excited to be a part of the Saving Pets Challenge and invite you to support the pets of our community by donating to Friends of Arlington Animal Services or even joining our fundraising team by creating your own fundraising page to share! By meeting challenges each week, your donation can be multiplied!
FAAS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to helping the pets and animals in our community through promoting adoptions, assisting rescues, trap-neuter-return, volunteerism, and so much more! We have helped our local shelter increase the Live Release Rate from 47% to 84%. The cat live releaes rate has increased from 25% to 90% thanks to our Shelter-Neuter-Return program and the amazing rescues we support.
The story of a colony: Through our Trap-Neuter-Return program we are able to save lives and help our community. Check out the video above. In late 2013 we learned of a large colony of cats that had grown around a wonderful man's business. He called the city and they referred us to him so our TNR team went into action. They have trapped, neutered, vaccinated against rabies, and returned over 30 cats (every cat on the property). We rescued several kittens from that location and found them wonderful new homes. Grey Bear is a fluffy grey kitty that loves living in this colony, one day she showed up with her tail severly injured. Our volunteers caught her and rushed her to our Snip and Tip Clinic where her tail was amputated and she was able to recover. She is now back in her colony, happy and healthy thanks to our supporters. Duing the last year, the caretaker had some health issues so FAAS volunteers made sure the colony was fed and cared for until he was well. There have been no more kittens and the colony is doing well, but not multiplying. We cannot continue to help situations like these without our community's support.
How You Can Help:
Donate today during the challnege
- $20 will feed a colony for a month
- $50 will spay or neuter a community cat
- $100 will fully vet a friendly cat or kitten for adoption
It would be so amazing if our incredible supporters became fundraisers. By setting up a fundraiser for our cause and reaching out to your network of supporters, imagine the impact we can have.
It takes less than five minutes to set up a fundraiser. All you have to do is click 'Fundraise for This Campaign.'
Once you start your fundraiser, make sure to update it with the story of why you're one of our biggest fans. The more personal and compelling story, the more likely you are to get donations. Also make sure to put pics and even videos on your fundraising page that help to illustrate why this cause means so much to you. Then share it with everyone you know and start raising money.
