Price Check, Lane Two
Shopping for period products is definitely not on my list of things that I enjoy. I mean, I don't hate it. I save hating for things like the fact that red velvet cupcakes aren't a food group or that my hair will never look as good as when my stylist does it. So unfair.
But, for years, I would totally go out of my way to buy a bunch of things I didn't necessarily need in hopes that I could "hide" the tampon box in the mix so the cashier wouldn't notice. Then I'd try to find the one female cashier because at least she would GET it and I wouldn't have to go to the 17-year-old boy who is silently turning red at the fact that he is touching something that has to do with vaginas. I'd also be crossing my fingers and praying there wouldn't be some kind of price scanner malfunction and "Price check for tampons on lane 2!!" wouldn't ring out throughout the store speakers. Then I would implode out of sheer embarrassment because in my head I'd hear "THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE, THE ONE IN THE PURPLE SHIRT NAMED JAMIE HAS HER PERIOD. LOOK AT HER!"
Growing up, I never really talked with my mother about my period. I was given a pamphlet explaining menstruation and that was about it. I didn't even tell her when I eventually got it. I felt embarrassed because those lines of communication were never there with her in the beginning. I think that transferred to how comfortable I was buying products for myself, like it was supposed to be this super secret thing you're not supposed to talk about and keep private.
I eventually realized I was making it out to be way more of a big deal than it actually is. Getting your period isn't something you need to be ashamed of; it's just how your body works. Talking about it with a friend, doing research myself, and learning to not be afraid to ask questions helped me become way more comfortable with my body and what was going on inside me.
It's no longer a big deal for me to just walk into a store and slap a box of tampons on the register lane and not feel awkward doing so. I'm by no means screaming, "I have my period!" while walking through the store, but if someone sees what I'm buying, I'm not embarrassed. Periods happen, and so does the buying of products to go along with them. There's no point in stressing over something you can't help and that you certainly shouldn't be embarrassed about. And if you still feel weird buying tampons or pads by themselves, I highly recommend that you accompany that purchase with some chocolate chip cookies!
My mom just buys me a box and hides it under other stuff she buys." - zombiehunter

Commutative Algebra
|Unit code:
|Credit Rating:
|Unit level:
|Level 3
|Teaching period(s):
|Semester 1
|Offered by
|School of Mathematics
|Available as a free choice unit?:
- MATH20212 - Algebraic Structures 2 (Compulsory)
- MATH20201 - Algebraic Structures 1 (Compulsory)
The course unit will deepen and extend students' knowledge and understanding of commutative algebra. By the end of the course unit the student will have learned more about familiar mathematical objects such as polynomials and algebraic numbers, will have acquired various computational and algebraic skills and will have seen how the introduction of structural ideas leads to the solution of mathematical problems.
The central theme of this course is factorisation (theory and practice) in commutative rings; rings of polynomials are our main examples but there are others, such as rings of algebraic integers.
Polynomials are familiar objects which play a part in virtually every branch of mathematics. Historically, the study of solutions of polynomial equations (algebraic geometry and number theory) and the study of symmetries of polynomials (invariant theory) were a major source of inspiration for the vast expansion of algebra in the 19th and 20th centuries.
In this course the algebra of polynomials in n variables over a field of coefficients is the basic object of study. The course covers fairly recent advances which have important applications to computer algebra and computational algebraic geometry (Gröbner bases - an extension of the Euclidean division algorithm to polynomials in 2 or more variables), together with a selection of more classical material.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this course unit students will be able to demonstrate
- facility in dealing with polynomials (in one and more variables);
- understanding of some basic ideal structure of polynomial rings;
- appreciation of the subtleties of factorisation into prime and irreducible elements;
- ability to compute generating sets and Gröbner bases for ideals in polynomial rings;
- ability to relate polynomials to other algebraic structures such as algebraic varieties;
- ability to solve problems relating to the factorisation of polynomials, irreducible polynomials and polynomial equations in several variables.
Future topics requiring this course unit
None, though the material connects usefully with algebraic geometry and Galois theory.

LINDEN — Mayor Richard Gerbounka won a long-awaited victory when Dan Roberts was appointed municipal court judge by the City Council.
Roberts replaces Louis M. J. DiLeo, a 58-year-old Westfield resident who had served as Linden's judge since 2003.
Last year, a formal complaint was filed against DiLeo, accusing him of violating the judicial code of conduct by denying two defendants a public defender and by allowing a police officer to cross-examine them at their trial on burglary and theft charges. DiLeo denied any wrongdoing.
Five of the 11 members of the City Council opposed the appointment of Roberts to replace DiLeo: Richard Koziol, Peter Brown Jr., Rhashonna Cosby-Hurling, Robert J. Sadowski and Michele Yamakaitis.
In 2011, the City Council voted against replacing DiLeo by a 6-5 margin.

Definition of grazed
- to eat. Usually used to refer to food laid out "buffet" style, as at a party. Thus a partier, instead of eating what is directly in front of them, will move around eating from different places, much like a cow. (It's usually bad form to "graze" at a restaurant buffet: one is supposed to fill a dish and then eat at one's table.)
Cool, a buffet table, let's go graze!

5 ways you can travel South Korea by volunteering
It may be difficult to find ways to travel when your on a budget, but where there is a will, there is a way! Apart from the food and the sights -- both amazing reasons for you to get on a plane -- some of the best memories and experiences of traveling comes from learning about a different culture and meeting new people. Now, what if I were to tell you that there are ways for you to experience South Korea...both immersing yourself in the local culture and community...all without breaking the bank! Read on to find out 5 of the best ways you can travel around South Korea while earning free room and board!
1. Volunteer at a hostel or guesthouse
(Images from workaway)
One of the best ways to travel on a budget while still maintaining a lot of free time to explore is by volunteering at a hostel or guesthouse! For the most part, volunteering at a hostel or guesthouse does not require very difficult duties. You will probably be expected to interact with guests, clean rooms and bathrooms, and perform other various housekeeping duties, but who doesn't already do that in their own homes? This way, you get to meet new people from all over the world while getting free accommodation, some free food, not to mention all of the other amenities that other guests get! This is truly one of the best ways you can get to know Korea like the locals all while not burning a hole in your wallet at some fancy hotel!
Interested? Here are two great places to look for available volunteering opportunities in Korea's hostels and guesthouses!
2. Volunteer at an organic farm through WWOOF
(Images from WWOOF)
While visiting the usual tourist spots in South Korea is a must, if you are looking to get out of the city...or just like to be in nature...this next option might just be for you! A great way to travel around Korea and experience daily life (outside of the city) of Korean farmers is by volunteering through WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). Through WWOOF, you can choose between the many types of organic farms Korea has offer all the while leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city for an idyllic and peaceful Korean countryside...ok...the amazingly fresh and delicious local farming cuisine might be something to note also...
Most Korean farmers will give you free accommodation and food for your work and your duties vary depending on what type of farm you choose to volunteer at. In order to volunteer, click on the the link below, follow the simple directions and you will be on your way to an amazing experience!
3. Volunteer at a Language Cafe
(Images from Lzone Cafe)
It really is not a secret that one of the easiest ways make your way to Korea is to teach English! If you are fluent in English then you can easily volunteer at one of the many language cafes scattered all over Korea. Besides getting to share your culture and language with local Koreans while playing games and conversing, your duties might also include helping out with the cleaning and general maintenance of the cafes, but in exchange you get free accommodation, food, and many other benefits!
(Images from Workaway)
One of the great things about volunteering at a language cafe is the amazing locations! Many language cafes are located near universities and shopping/entertainment areas so there are numerous activities to keep you busy outside of the cafe work! Time to take out some new friends and experience Korea!
You can search for a Language Cafe to volunteer at through Workaway or go to Lzone Cafe!
4. Volunteer to teach a Korean family English
(Images from Workaway)
While traversing through Korea on your own might be a blast, there are experiences that can only be had with a local guide. This is all the more true if that guide is a Korean family! One amazing way to volunteer and truly live like a Korean is with a cultural homestay!
By teaching a Korean family English, you can receive free accommodation and food in return! It may be harder to find this kind of volunteer opportunity so if you do make sure not to let it slip away!
You can look for a homestay on Workaway or Homestayfinder.
5. Volunteer for the Lotus Lantern Festival
(Images Via)
In Korea there are many different festivals all year round! However what makes the Lotus Lantern Festival special, held in April or May each year, is that you can volunteer and stay in a temple for free!
The Lotus Lantern Festival is one of the biggest festivals in Korea and is in celebration of Buddha's birthday. During the festival, hundreds of colorful lanterns are paraded down the streets. As a Lotus Lantern Festival volunteer you will get to participate in the parade as well as stay overnight at a temple!
As you stay at the temple you get to experience Buddhist life as you participate in, Yebul (memorial service), BaruGongyang (a monastic ritual of eating vegetarian food in complete silence without wasting any food) and then at dawn you will get to participate in a walking meditation ritual.
While you stay at the temple you learn how to make your own lotus lanterns so you can also guide others on how to make lotus lanterns on the day of the festival itself.
This years festival has already passed so keep your eyes peeled for the next opportunity to volunteer!
There are so many budget friendly ways to experience Korea...which one will you choose? Let us know below!

Rumple Zone explores the intersection of craft and computation. The installation's form developed via a deliberate and specific combination of hand drawn geometry and scripting. Manual interventions made during the design phase introduced directionality, grain, rhythm, and asymmetry into the piece—a counterpoint to the regular and regulated output of computational algorithms. In short, Rumple Zone's form does not "emerge." Instead, it is created through craft in the design process. Software tools and analog manipulation produce the ultimate formal exploration and the final fabrication.
At USC, Rumple Zone investigates a new order, one at the intersection of multiple opposing forces: organic versus computational, hand versus machine, and biological versus mechanical. The installation is constructed out of powder-coated aluminum cut into geometries that are at once the form and the structure. This structural methodology was tested in previous work. Here, the assembly reanimates a lowly corner condition and small reveal—amplifying a minor flaw in the building's architecture.
Rumple Zone continues a series of similar investigations in the same vein, which include Three Horned Beast (and Baby Beast) and A Loose Horizon. Commissioned by The New Children's Museum in San Diego, Three Horned Beast is a 30'-foot tall pavilion that explores ideas about porosity and views. Its structural and formal characteristics act as a precedent for Rumple Zone.
A Loose Horizon, commissioned by Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA), utilized a large opening in the museum facade to establish a horizon or boundary between the gallery interior and exterior. By employing an array of metal rays projected from the museum interior, the installation emphasized the border condition and expanded the visual experience of the gallery into a spatial one.
Read together, these three projects sampled from a larger body of work, form a series of provocations that challenge the primacy of the purely digital object and set forth an embodied structural methodology.

There's nothing new under the sun, or, to put it another way, there is nothing new about Twitter's 140-character format for microblog posts.
Jesus, after all, made pronouncements that were "brief and full of meaning," said Vatican cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi today.
Ravasi pointed to short, yet impactful Tweets such as "Love one another."
The Vatican has followed this example and embraced Twitter with Pope Francis (English language version) gathering over 3 million followers.

On this night, the game was every bit as close as N.C. State's 87-81 margin of victory over Campbell suggested, a contest that saw 15 ties and 12 lead changes. The Wolfpack (9-4) were paced by a career-high 24 points from Lorenzo Brown, who also added eight rebounds and eight assists. N.C. State also dominated the interior, outscoring Campbell 46-24 in the paint and out-rebounding them 40-22, highlighted by a 17-point, 17-rebound night from Richard Howell.
However, even in defeat, the feisty Camels (8-6) were the big story. After winning eight of their first nine games this season, Campbell came to Reynolds having lost four straight. However, all four losses were road affairs that required the Camels to trek from Houston, Texas to Blacksburg, Va. to Wilmington, N.C. to Boone, N.C. over just nine days. However, Campbell came into the N.C. State match ready and rested, having not played in a week.
The preparation showed, as the Camels stood toe-to-toe with the Wolfpack from tipoff. Campbell entered the contest ranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage (.516) and 25th in points per game (79.3). Campbell's scoring skill was in full bloom Thursday night, working in concert with a tenacity and occasional chestiness that clearly caught N.C. State off-guard and sometimes seemed to get under their skin.
Campbell would amass a five-point lead, its largest of the game, at the 12:28 mark of the first half. Still, neither team seemed able to gain an advantage over the other as they entered halftime tied 41-41, with Campbell paced by 11 points from freshman point guard Trey Freeman and 10 from forward Eric Griffin.
The second stanza brought more of the same. With Campbell's leading scorer Darren White netting 18 of his game-high 25 points after halftime, the matchup remained tied with 12 minutes left and N.C. State led by only three with nine minutes to go. That's when Brown took over, scoring 11 points to close out the game.
"I thought Lorenzo was sensational tonight," said N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried. "He penetrated, he got to the rim, and he controlled tempo."
"I've always told him he was meant to play point guard," said Scott Wood about his teammate. "He knows when to look to score and he knows when to get teammates open. He's doing a great job."
Over the course of shooting 50 percent from the field, Campbell also made nine of 14 attempts from three-point range. When asked what about Campbell's performance most surprised him, Brown instantly replied, "Hitting the three-pointer…I didn't think they could shoot a three like that."
"In the scouting report, it seemed like their guards got to the basket a lot and really didn't shoot the three much," added guard Alex Johnson. "But they shot the ball really well tonight."
On the other hand, N.C. State took full advantage of frequent trips to the charity stripe, converting 28 of 31 free throws during a game that saw the referees whistle 41 personal fouls and three technicals, including one against Campbell head coach Robbie Laing midway through the second half. Even though Campbell only committed five more fouls than N.C. State, the Wolfpack made 11 more free throws than the Camels attempted.
"I thought we played really poor free throw defense," said Laing, his tongue defiantly in cheek. "What were they, 28 for 31? That's a lot to overcome."
"You watch a football or basketball game and we want the referees to be perfect," Gottfried said diplomatically. "I'm not saying they made every call right, but I thought they controlled a game that was heated. You had two teams that really battled hard and I thought they did a really good job."
Even after the Wolfpack built a 14-point advantage with just over five minutes remaining and had seemingly put the Camels away, Campbell kept fighting and chipped the deficit down to the final six-point margin.
"I think that's a team that's going to win a lot of games," gushed Gottfried about the Camels. "They're very good offensively. At times we weren't very good defensively, but at times we were good on defense and still couldn't stop them."
"They played their hearts out," said Brown. "They made some tough shots, and I take my hat off to them."
N.C. State returns to the RBC Center this Saturday to face Western Carolina. Tipoff is 2 p.m.

The Most Expensive Dog Breeds to Purchase
Recently, a website called Learnvest, published an article on the 11 most expensive dog breeds. The expense was not based on veterinary costs due to common health issues or the cost of care in other areas, but strictly on the cost of purchasing a dog from a breeder. It is an interesting take on this topic, so I thought I'd share their findings with you.
The 11 breeds listed were as follows:
- Pembroke Welsh Corgi, reported to cost up to $1,000 depending on their breeding.
- Saluki, reported to cost $2,500.
- Chow Chow, reported to cost between $1,000 and $8,500.
- Egyptian Pharaoh Hound, reported to cost between $2,500 and $6,500 due to its relative rarity.
- Olde English Bulldog, reported to cost up to $9,000 if purchased from a well-known breeder.
- Canadian Eskimo Dog, reported to cost around $7,000 because of their rarity.
- Lowchen, reported to cost between $5,000 and $8,000, again because they are so rare.
- Samoyed, reported to cost between $4,000 and $11,000.
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, reported to cost anywhere between $1,000 and $14,000.
- German Shepherd, one of which was reported to have cost $230,ooo.
- Tibetan Mastiff, one of which was reported to have cost $1.5 million due to his superb lineage and breeding prospects
What do you think? Would you pay these prices for a dog of your own if you had the money?

Socratic App
Take a picture of homework, and learn what you need
App StoreFree
Play StoreFree
Olivia Lin- Growth and Operations Lead, SocraticStudents take a photo of a homework question and can get help in all subjects. Useful for college freshmen if they need a refresher on math/science topics that carry over from high school. P.S. I work at Socratic and wish I had this when I was in high school, so I may be biased :P
The VergeA little confession from me. I was homeschooled (that's not the confession part), and in 8th grade my algebra textbook had the answers to half the problems in the back. And when I was stumped, I would cheat. Sorry, mom!
Digital TrendsThe days when students have to flip through textbooks to find solutions to homework problems may soon be coming to an end. Rather, they will be taking pictures with their smartphones to feed problems into an artificially intelligent app if Socratic has its way.
Android Police - Android News, Apps, Games, Phones, TabletsSocratic was launched for Android on May 2nd, but it has been on iOS under the name Homework Genius since last year. It has a pretty interesting premise: you take pictures of your homework, and it tells you about the topic and provides answers. How well does it actually work, though?

Scientology ads
As you all know I am using google ads since ever to help my budget a bit. Since a couple of days Scientology organization has decided that my site is good for their ads and they have occupied the whole room without my agreement. I am sorry about this and have made sure that Scientology ads cannot appear on my sites anymore.

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted at Breaking the Spine. The purpose is to spotlight upcoming releases that we are excited for.
Only Everything by Kieran Scott
Hardcover: 336 pages
Publication date: May 6th 2014
Publisher: Simon & Schuster BFYR
Add on: Goodreads
High school romance is tough—even for a bona fide love goddess. Can Cupid succeed as a mortal matchmaker?
When Eros (aka Cupid) is expelled from Olympus for defying Zeus after falling in love with Orion, she is banished to what she believes to be hell. We call it New Jersey. If she ever wants to go back to the comforts of her old life, she will have to find love for three couples—without using her powers.
Eros, now calling herself True, immediately identifies her first project in Charlie and believes finding him love will be a piece of cake. Charlie is new at school and eager to break out of his old image of band geek, so it's lucky for him when he falls in with the right crowd on his first day. But music is still his passion. That is, until he meets Katrina…
Katrina is floundering after the death of her father and takes refuge with a boy who, while not entirely supportive, will be there when she needs him, unlike her mother. Too bad True thinks any girl Charlie talks to is perfect for him. Can she get out of her own way and help Charlie and Katrina connect, or will she be stuck in New Jersey forever?
okay, so I totally love the overly epic cover haha. Maybe it's because of the clouds, or the font, or the wind machine. I don't know. I'm just really amused…. Wait! I think I got it. It's the epic pose of all historical romance, just without the Fabio, but almost. Also, I've been totally feeling the mythology lately and this sounds like it has the potential to be a pretty funny and adorable read.
What's your WoW? Link us up!

Drama documentary is a program category unique to television. Combining the factual approach of documentary with the entertainment values of drama, dramadoc/docudrama has featured in television schedules for over forty years, and has often been the focus of controversy. Questions are frequently asked about how the viewer is to judge between fact and fiction, and whether such programs invade individualsa privacy. No Other Way to Tell It is an introductory book which defines the form, and reviews its history and development on British and American television. The people who make the programs--television producers, writers, actors and lawyers--give their views, and recent co-production work between Granada TV in Britain and Home Box Office in America is examined. Hostages, a co-production which was bitterly opposed by the British and American hostages released from captivity in Beirut at the beginning of the decade, is used to illustrate the changes that are now taking place within the medium.Dramadoc/Docudrama on Television Derek Paget ... For the latest manifestations of the docudramatic, it is always necessary to look first at American rather than British practice a at trauma dramas, for example: a#39;domestic melodramas in which anbsp;...

Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
Gorgeous! I do the same, then eat my cum
the wonderful world of dildo masturbation nothing explodes like it
nice cock
I guess I am one of those exceptions because when I am aroused, I flow like a fountain..my lovers like the taste. Why don't we flow like that when being fucked....that is a rarity?
i would`nt wanna interfere with this loveley spectacle but i NEED this endlessly coming cum inside my pussy. i`d just lay there verry still and let him fill out my walls and fill me up and up and up while he does exactly what he does...FUCK! now i`ll have to do it again...
Best precum video ever. I'd love to have it all go into my mouth - precum is delicious. For those of you who wonder about "prostate massage" I use a fucking machine that makes me orgasm inside my ass over and over. It is much more intense and pleasurable than ejaculating.
I Love my ass orgasms. They are intense. I can never stop fucking myself once I get one.
precum tastes better than regular cum,at the end that was regular cum
I DID have a prostate orgasm ONCE while being fucked up the ass, and it WAS very intense and different as stated by someone below. I've always thought it was a normal cum, but it surprised me in that I stayed hard and erect and had a normal, shooting cum followed by a limp cock a little while later. I was in my 60's at the time. I've given many men prostate massages with my fingers as they built up and shot their loads down my throat. From then on, they always wanted a massage when I sucked them off.
nice fat cock...should of wore some pretty panties..cum all over them
beautiful cock
i wish that cock was in my ass, while dripping...mmm nice load
Omg, there is no word to describe this. It is MAJESTIC! I had to watch it four times. This is my new obsession.
love all the sperm
wow thats fantastic
i'd like to explore anal orgasm, but when i put dildo in my ass i never last till the end, so i must find some nice man to hel me...
'So fucking hot!! I would love to be sucking your cock while this happens!!'
too bad some of guys can't self suck~!!
Nice fat cock.....
I can't believe that a cock can cum that much with a stimulator in your ass, would love to have been sucking on that cock while he was doing that!!!
lots of practice and findinf the sweet spot... best thinh ever!!! i do it some times
So you like probes up your ass, well I'm just the girl to give it to you. Just as long as I can milk all that delisius cum from your cock
How much fucking cum it could be to my mouth.
dang---lick that up and slurp it love it....
would luv to get up wid u man for all niight
wish my mouth was handy to catch that cum
Oh my that was wonderful and pleasurable just to watch, I want to learn that now,,,man oh man wonderful......
And after all that his cock was still hard
Anyone would like to drink mz awesome cum. ?
@grandad4u. Nice experience, I love having sex with over 65es, possibly in public
He could milk a load like that into my mouth anytime! I love his wet uncut cock.
Ummmm, delicious looking cum; thick and milky. Milk as much and as often as you like into my hungry mouth. Or, I'd also love to suck "easy's" hot pussy filled with his thick cum. Anytime! All the time!
best milking ever seen
i would like to have all this sperm in my mouth
i wish there was sound......:(
its way beyond hot
so hot!
great vid, all the above. Never tried this so going on CL to find a milker near me and watch live 1st. mmmm
Masturbating again on this pretty cock cumming
Man I'd love him to cum in my mouh or in my ass. All that sperm mmmmm.
I such a lot of precum at the movies. Usually it is produced by older man with almost soft cocks. We masturbate nude each other's asshole and squeeze balls
i wish i lay under his dick i would suck him completely dry if people want to be sucked dry come to me
just LOVE this!!! this guy is like a holstein cow.....just keeps milking!!!! I'd also like to see more of him!!!
I can't stop watching this video. I've never seen anywhere near this much precum. This guy is great and I'd like to see more by him. Is there a way to be in contact with him?
Perfect masturbation, we should do it together, drink each other´s cum and exchange it from mouth to mouth
Love drinking cum so much some times its all I let my bf do is face fuck me
I could slobber that cum all over my tongue. wowo
Man!! I wish I could be part of that!!
you can also stimulate the area between your balls and the butthole. just a little pressure and slowly wank your dick. you`ll gettin some yummy precum.
i will try it also.....
Wow! I want to be with you and your prostate!
i like it. anyone greek?
nice job!!! only one time I had anal orgasm, and it's fantastic! but I must learn to do this!
So, let me get this straight: the prostate is being massaged and is producing seminal fluid. The fluid being produced does not contain sperm, and the guy is not orgasming? Is that correct? He could orgasm normally afterwards (with sperm)?
Yes brotha, that is correct. And the feeling you get from milking your prostate is outrageous. And when you do cum, OOOHHH BOY what a load you pump out.
how you do it?? I try to stimulate my prostate but I don't milking!! Why?? Do you use the vibration? how many cm is dildo?? help me! please!!!
FANTASTIC; those balls must have been really full!!
think wer all thinkin the same wish we cud all do this it makes me cum evtime i luv cock more than anythin an my girlfriend nt got a clue haa

how i wish i could do that so easily... i've cum twice in my life only by anal stimulation with a big vibrator, it was a fabulous sensation but it takes quite a while and mostly (99% of the times...) I simply don't get there without penis stimulation, but when I do, oh man... I'm so jealous now...

The idea of Semigood Design was created in a Brooklyn loft in 2004. We're returning to New York to show at the 2016 International Contemporary Furniture Fair. Swing by booth 3804 and say hello to Thom Jones!
Pecha Kucha Seattle and Bellevue Arts Museum are thrilled to co-present PKN SEA vol. 64: New Frontiers in Pacific Northwest Design in support of BAM's exhibition The New Frontier: Young Designer-Makers in the Pacific Northwest. The event will present works by a wide-range of locally based designer-makers, examining the materials, processes, and creative strategies that define their practices. The evening will celebrate the depth, dimension and excellence of design in the Pacific Northwest, creating space for the discussion of how objects and products are conceived and created here, who is making them and how the field of local design is reflective of this unique region.
Well there's at least 3 people here at Semigood that can't believe this moment has finally arrived! Brendan, Rian and Myself are pleased to welcome you to the new site and we look forward to being able to update and add new products and features daily (without having the PHD in web design required by our last site...), so follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook if you don't already and buckle up!

Cougars proud of Class of 2010s success, future prospects
By Becky Barclay
Published in News on June 13, 2010 1:50 AM
Goldsboro High School's 123 graduates walked onto the football field Friday night as seniors and walked off it ready to conquer their next challenges as adults.
Principal of curriculum Patricia Burden welcomed parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and friends who came to pay their respects to the graduates for the outstanding work they had done over the past 12 years.
"They are going out into the community on a new journey," she said. "They have challenges in front of them. This is not the time for us to lead them, but to support them any way we can."
Valedictorian Lakiyah Campbell acknowledged her school -- Goldsboro High "has helped me to mature and become a better person in life," she said.
She encouraged her fellow graduates to reach for the stars.
"Never give up on your dreams," she said. "It's not an issue of where you came from, but where you're going. Remember the sky is the limit."
Salutatorian Charnice Taylor urged her classmates to continue to be the best of friends as some go on to college while others join the military or take whatever path life has in store for them.
"We have shared good and bad times, but we were always there for each other," she said. "This will probably be the last time that we will all be together in one place. So we need to cherish this moment.
"Many of us are happy, anxious and a little scared about moving on with our future goals. I have faith that we will all be successful. This is only the beginning of the rest of our lives."
After the tassel ceremony, hats flew into the air.
Davin Powell said he was ready for this day to come when he started high school four years ago. "It feels real good," he said. "I'm just ready to go on to college and better myself."
He will move on to Livingstone University, where he will study graphic art and design.
His advice to future graduates: "Study, make sure you do your work, don't miss any assignments. And any extra credit work you get, do it."
Powell admits it wasn't easy getting to his graduation day, but it was definitely worth it.
Elaine Gray echoed that sentiment. "It's been a struggle," she said, "but truly grace is mercy."
Working hard got her to this day.
Now she is off to the Army -- where she hopes to find a career and will get help paying for her college education.
"The most important thing that got me to this point was working hard," Miss Gray said.
"Stay in the race and don't give up," is what she advises those who are still looking forward to their big day.
When Christopher Gray turned his tassel, he felt honored.
"I've been through a lot in my life, but to still be able to say I've graduated, I just feel real good," he said. "I had to deal with moving and family problems and just sometimes being hardheaded. But I'm just glad I got through it."
He will be off to East Carolina University for a four-year degree, then to physical therapy school.
He advises those he's leaving behind at Goldsboro High School to "stick with it. Don't let things that happen in your past determine your future."

Parental Lying
Is lying a parent survival strategy or a booby trap for our Well-Being?
Posted Aug 03, 2012
I was once working with a client who told me that she had a penchant for scaring her daughter into doing the right thing. She would give her a direction like "put your plate in the sink" and if she didn't listen, she would tell her daughter that Grandma was going to come down from heaven and yell at her. Pretty extreme, I know, but apparently Grandma had a scary face, so the daughter willingly complied. For now. But what happens when Grandma's face loses its evil glare and daughter figures out the truth? What motivation will the child have to take the plate to the sink then?
Apart from Gail Heyman, professor of psychology at UC San Diego and Kang Lee, professor at the University of Toronto, little research has been done on parental lying and deception. Heyman and Lee reported research from two related studies on parenting lying in the United States. They found that "parenting by lying" occurs for two reasons: as a way to influence behavior and as a strategy for making a child happy. In the study, parents reported lying to their children about bad things happening to them if they didn't go to bed. One parent told her child that if she wrapped up all of her pacifiers as gifts, the pacifier fairy would come and take them to children in need. And if you think that Susie forgot about the pacifier fairy when she went to college, think again. In a related study, college students were interviewed about lies their parents told them and found that parents who most strongly promoted the importance of honesty with their children engaged in parenting by lying. Double standard.
Parental lying damages the parent-child relationship and decreases intrinsic motivation. If children learn to cooperate when told a lie, they will not learn the appropriate behavior to demonstrate in the first place. Instead of lying, explain the purpose or higher meaning behind the desired behavior. "In this house we take our plates to the sink because it keeps our house clean and tidy." By highlighting the purpose, children will learn what you value as a parent, and they will internalize and value the same goal.
Lying also has an impact on Parent Well-Being. Lying is cognitively demanding and there is only so much information that your brain can handle at any one time. Lying is intentional, deliberate and exhausting because the liar must always remember the fictional story she is creating and get the facts straight. The child (as we know she does) asks questions about the lie, "what does the pacifier queen look like?" "where does she live?", "is she nice?", "will she leave me a present?", the liar must continue to add fictional details to the story. The liar must also appear credible. You don't want Susie to see that you are telling a lie, so you must watch your facial expressions and body language. Would you rather expend mental energy lying or telling the truth, which is automatic and effortless?
Your mental reserves are a precious psychological resource. Protect them and keep them fresh. Don't let the heat of a power struggle melt away the sweet wholesome treat that will be waiting for you…Tomorrow. Maybe.

Then last May I had a birthday. A rather significant, almost another momentous birthday birthday. I turned 39. I began to wonder if there was a way to let go. To free myself of all this baggage. Because I became aware, awake, even startled by the idea that half my life has passed. If I am reaching a halfway point and am still stuck in injuries endured, injuries inflicted, mistakes made all from the past, how in the hell am I ever going to enjoy my future, what is left? Will I waste it too?
And then I took a small trip to visit my Grandmother in Las Vegas. Which will most likely be the last time I will have seen her alive. And lovingly I looked at her. I thought about the life she made. I thought about the things she taught me. And I realized, letting go doesn't take some ritual ceremony of burning lists. Some night of chanting away the evil in my brain. It is what it is. So I let go. Just let go.
It wasn't easy I have to say. It wasn't a matter of feeling all the black and gray ashy things inside me flutter off into some neverwhere. There were choices to make and forcing of new habits. But herein, a movie, odd, probably considered rather fluffy and insignificant, changed my life. I had seen a movie called Nine. A musical. And the women in this movie were sexy. Some were strong and forward and free. One in particular that made a lasting impression on me. As someone who hides often behind words and screens and fears, I admired this character much as I had admired Scarlett O'Hara as a child. And I felt I wanted so much to be able to be like that. Confident in myself as a woman, as a writer, as a lover, as a mother, as a friend, as a person. But I knew that doesn't come from something, it comes from simple choices. Choices I started making.
Have I fallen from the wagon? Oh yes. I can admit that. Because I know, falling does not mean staying down. I got right back up. And I continue to do so. I do the littlest things that force me into the new. I forced myself to introduce myself to mothers at the school and have made a friend. I forced myself to start wearing the two piece bathing suit I wanted so bad, the tighter clothing I thought I didn't deserve to wear anymore. I forced myself to say no to people like my mother and my husband so that I could make choices for myself. And you know what? I love it. I love being exactly who I want to be.

To Buy from Amazon US click here
This book can also be purchased in paperback from your local Christian Bookshop
Loree Loughs First Responder series is based on those who are closely linked to the events of 9/11. This is the third book in the series and, having read them all I can assure you that this one is certainly a worthy sequal. This book does not realy on the others for a back story so it does not matter in which order you read them.
This is esentially a romance, but I found it to be so much more than that. It is also a story of hope, of caring for others and of thinking of and putting yourself out for others. Dusty Parker is a part time pastor as well as running a home for teenaged boys who come from a troubled past. He also volunteers as a first responder, in which role he has repsonded to a call to look for a young girl who ahs gone missing. Grace Sinclair is a School Teacher who cares about the students in her charge, and meets Dusty whilst they are both searching for the girl, who is one of her students. Their attraction to each other is evident from the beginning. This is their story as well as that of a number of others with whom they live and work. They both have inner demons following 9/11 and this has made them so much more responsive to others who also have problems.
Loree Lough has an excellent wrting style which draws you into the story. She paints a picture of the characters so vivid you find yourself imagining them and empathising with them. As I said this is so much more than a romance, the story unfolds at a steady pace and then delivers a couple of real shocks about 2/3 of the way through the book. I cannot say too much without spoiling the plot, but I can say they are major and quite unexpected. My emotions were all over the place in this book which is the mark of a good writer. I laughed, I cired and experienced the gamut of feelings in between. This is a Christian novel and the Christian theme is strong throughout the book, however, this is blended in well, and comes across as being completely natural. Their faith is part of who the characters are, and makes them the people they are.
So as I say, so much more than a romance. This is a story of hope, redemption and a strong conviction that no matter what the situation God is with you and will not turn from you. It is one of love, not just the love that Dusty and Grace have for each other, but the love they also have for others, particularly those in trouble.
I would highly recommend this book and any other in the series. This is a story with which you could curl up on a rainy afternoon and forget the raging storms outside.
I was given a copy of this book from the publishers for review. This has in no way impacted on my review which is fair and impartial based on my reading of the book.
So until next time enjoy whatever book you are reading and I'll see you all again next week.

ROBERT MURTHA v. CITY OF HARTFORD, SC 18751
Judicial District of New Haven
Police; Statutory Indemnification; Whether Plaintiff Officer, Who was Acquitted of Criminal Charges, is Entitled to Assert Claim for Lost Wages and Benefits Under § 53-39a; Whether the Legal Fees Awarded the Plaintiff Under § 53-39a Were Excessive. While working as a police officer for the defendant city, the plaintiff was charged with several criminal offenses, which led to his eventual discharge from employment. After being acquitted of all charges, the plaintiff, pursuant to General Statutes § 53-39a, brought this action against the defendant, seeking reimbursement for legal fees incurred in connection with his criminal case, as well as reimbursement for lost wages and other employment benefits. Section 53-39a provides that a police officer who has been charged with having committed a crime in the course of his official duties is entitled to indemnification from his employer for any economic loss, including the payment of any legal fees, sustained as a result of that prosecution if the officer is found not guilty. The defendant first argued that the plaintiff's employment claims were not cognizable under § 53-39a because such claims were in actuality breach of contract claims against the defendant, and not third-party indemnification claims. The trial court disagreed, stating that the term "indemnification" as used in § 53-39a was meant to be interpreted broadly, that is, as a duty to pay for another's loss, rather than narrowly. Next, the defendant claimed that the plaintiff's claim for employment benefits should be dismissed on the ground that the plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies provided in the collective bargaining agreement. The court again disagreed, ruling that General Statutes § 31-51bb gives employees blanket rights to pursue litigation under state statutes despite the existence of collective bargaining agreements. Next, the defendant argued that the entire amount of attorney's fees sought by the plaintiff were excessive because his defense attorneys billed him only for their retainer fees and billed it directly for the remainder of their fees. It thus maintained that the plaintiff was only obligated to pay the fees for which he had been billed and it was not liable to indemnify the plaintiff for any amount in excess of those fees. The court rejected the defendant's argument, ruling that the plaintiff assumed an obligation to pay all of his attorney's fees under his fee agreements with the lawyers and, therefore, the defendant was liable to indemnify the plaintiff for those fees. Thereafter, the court rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff and awarded him damages, which included lost salary, lost overtime and legal fees in connection with the criminal prosecution. On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court improperly failed to construe § 53-39a strictly and in accordance with indemnity law. If § 53-39a were so construed, the defendant contends, it necessarily leads to the conclusion that the trial court improperly (a) awarded attorney's fees beyond those actually incurred by the plaintiff, and (b) concluded that the plaintiff's employment claims are cognizable under § 53-39a. Additionally, the defendant claims that the trial court improperly failed to dismiss the plaintiff's employment claims for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.

If you've ever played a tower defense game, you already know the basics of Robo Defense. Enemies move in waves from an entrance to an exit, and you have to set up various towers to stop them. Like most tower defense games, Robo Defense offers a wide variety of towers, each of which comes with upgrade options. Each type of tower works well against a different type of enemy. If you're facing fast-moving enemies, set up some freeze towers to slow them down. If you're up against flying enemies, set up some anti-air towers, and so on.
Robo Defense also includes the same set of maps you'd expect in any competent tower defense game. There's a basic map where the enemies enter on the left hand side, and exit on the right hand side, with no obstacles in their way. a map called The Ruins where enemies can come from any number of entrances, and make their way to any of the exits on the map, and a VR map where you can dictate how many entrances, exits, and obstacles the map will have.
Robo Defense has all the trappings of a competent tower defense game, but it goes above and beyond the competition in a number of ways. For starters, there's a persistent points system in place that allows you to unlock new types of towers, and purchase permanent tower upgrades, such as increased bullet strength. Each time you kill an enemy or win a match, you are awarded points. In addition to upgrade points, Robo Defense also sets itself apart by offering multiple levels of difficulty. The higher the difficulty level, the more permanent upgrades you'll need to make it to the final wave of enemies.
While the gameplay in Robo Defense is top notch as tower defense games go, the presentation is another story. The graphics are overly simple, even for a mobile game, and the menus, while effective, are completely plain, and lack any sense of style. Despite the simple presentation, the game still hitches up from time to time when there's a lot happening on screen. The hitching is never bad enough to interfere with gameplay, but if you're expecting a completely smooth, flawless experience, you won't find it here.
Despite basic presentation, and occasional hiccups with the frame rate, Robo Defense is still one of the best tower defense experiences you can expect to find on a phone. With many levels of difficulty, and a robust, persistent set of upgrades, Robo Defense will keep you coming back for more.

What are some bacterial diseases?
A: bacterial diseases are infectious diseases affecting people, which are caused by human pathogenic bacteria. Most bacteria are harmless to people, and some are actually quite beneficial. However, some can cause illness, and a few are quite deadly. Many bacterial diseases can be successfully treated with modern antibiotics, though the overuse of these drugs is increasingly becoming a concern. One of the most common of the bacterial diseases affecting humans is tuberculosis. Caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, this disease is responsible for the death of nearly 2 million...
Worst bacterial diseases
A: bacterial diseases are dreadful and sometimes can even be fatal. They are of different types depending on the type of bacteria which has caused the infection. They also differ in their mode of spreading some spread through air or food. Some of the worst bacterial diseases are 1. Typhoid caused by salmonella typhi 2. Cholera which is kind of food poisoning can also be caused and is one of the worst bacterial diseases. Many people have lost their lives to it. 3. Pneumonia is also very critical and bad bacterial disease which is life threatening. 4. Botulinum which is a kind of food poisoning...
3 common bacterial disease?
A: The three most common bacterial diseases worldwide are: Tuberculosis (1 billion cases); Typhoid (17 million cases); and Strep infection (1.7 million cases). There are more cases of pneumonia overall than strep infection, at more than 6 million, but that number includes pneumonia caused by viruses, bacteria, and non-infectious causes. Viral and non-infectious pneumonia are more common than bacterial pneumonia.. A very common bacteria is staphylococcus. Staph causes many types of infections from skin to blood infections. A pimple is a staph infection. Another common bacteria is the one that cause chlamydia, the STD and it can infect your eyes as well as genital region. In the United States, Salmonella is a...
Types of bacterial diseases?
A: Types of bacterial diseases include: -tuberculosis -plague -pneuminia, -cholear - diphtheria - clamidia - tonsillitus, -scarlet fever...
Why are antibiotics only prescribed for bacterial disease?
A: Answer Antibiotics are designed to exploit the unique characteristics of bacterial cells so that they can kill or slow the growth of bacterial cells while leaving our human cells relatively untouched. So antibioitics target things like bacterial cell walls (which only bacteria make) or they target the protein machinery of bacteria (which is different than the protein-making machinery of human cells). Antibiotics don''t work against viruses or fungi because these infectious agents don''t have the same properties as bacterial cells. For example, viruses don''t have cell walls, and the cell walls that fungi have are entirely different than bacterial cell walls. So...
List 3 bacterial diseases?
A: # Bacteremia # Strep throat # Cholera # Dysentery...
Is tetanus a bacterial disease?
A: Yes,Tetanus is a bacterial disease.It is also known as lockjaw. Tetanus is a rare but often fatal disease that affects the central nervous system by causing painful muscular contractions. It begins when tetanus bacteria enter the body, usually through a wound or cut exposed to contaminated soil. Tetanus is easily preventable through vaccination. For more information visit the links below....
Is E.Coli a virus disease or a bacterial disease?
A: E. coli is not a disease at all, it is a species of bacteria. E. coli can be found as part of the normal microflora in the human gastrointestinal tract, as most strains are harmless. There are some strains (eg: E. coli 01H57) that are pathogenic and can cause enteritis....
How does Gram stain work and how is it useful to doctors treating bacterial diseases?
A: A Gram is simply looking for the presence of peptidoglycans in the cell wall (Gram positive bacteria have them). This is useful for physicians attempting to characterize an infectious agent, and narrows down the possibility of species which may be diagnosed....
How do you get bacterial diseases?
A: By them entering through openings in the body....

|WA Seasonal Rainfall Outlook: probabilities for January to March 2009, issued 17th December 2008
Above average rainfall likely in southwest WA
The WA outlook for total March quarter rainfall (January to March), shows moderate to strong odds favouring higher than normal rainfall over southwest WA.
The pattern of seasonal rainfall odds across WA is mainly a result of continued warmth in the central Indian Ocean.
The chance of exceeding median rainfall during the March quarter are between 60 and 75% in much of southwest WA. This means that for every ten years with ocean patterns like the current, about six or seven years are expected to be wetter than average in this region, while about three or four years are expected to be drier.
For the remainder of the state, the chances of exceeding the median rainfall during the March quarter are between 45 and 60%, meaning that above average falls are about as equally likely as below average falls in these regions.
Outlook confidence is related to how consistently the Pacific and Indian Oceans affect Australian rainfall. During the March quarter, history shows the effect to be moderately consistent over much of southern and western WA, as well as far eastern parts. Elsewhere the effect is only weakly or very weakly consistent. (see background information).
The tropical Pacific Ocean remains ENSO-neutral. Sea surface temperatures across most of the equatorial Pacific are near normal, however, cool sub-surface temperatures persist from the dateline to the South American coast and the trade winds are now stronger than normal across most of the basin. The SOI remains positive at approximately +13 for the 30 days ending 14 December. Most international computer models indicate that neutral conditions are likely to continue through summer and autumn, however, two models predict cooling. For routine updates and comprehensive discussion on any developments please see the ENSO Wrap-Up.

Familiarity - part one
By Forbidden Donut
Summary: Two New Warriors find their friendship take on a new form as they ponder love and loss.
Author Note: Set during the events of Civil War, this is an old story and I've given it a bit of a rewrite.
Disclaimer: Characters not owned by me nor do I profit from their use.
In no small way, they were all being blamed for the actions of their dead team mates. He wanted to be in the thick of the action but something held him back, a feeling of being watched, being judged, being held to account. In a moment of weakness and paranoia he'd asked the other Warriors about it, and they'd all admitted that they felt the same eyes on them.
So Justice stood watching from the rail as the Secret Avengers returned from the mission to rescue Captain America. They had come out badly in this lastest sortie. Lost people to the other side, lost people to SHIELD, and then there was Goliath.
Debrii stood close to him and they watched silently as Captain America rallied the troops from a seat he perched on while they healed his wounds.
"It's not fair. I didn't do a damn thing but they're treating me like I killed those people, those kids."
He didn't look at her, despite on some level agreeing with her sentiment. Debrii was not a New Warrior he knew well and there was no camaraderie between them, not like he'd shared with Night Thrasher, Nova, Namorita, Firestar and Speedball. The first Warriors had been more than just team mates, they'd been his family when he'd needed one, and no team since had felt the same.
Despite the fact she was not his team mate, there were many responses he could have made, any number would have been friendly and supportive, but he was tired and numb and unable to share even a trace of sympathy with her. He just didn't believe her unhappiness was driven by the same emotions as his.
Ultra Girl chose that moment to appear between them. "Life's unfair, Deb," someone muttered behind them. "Get over yourself, other people are hurting more than you."
"The hell? Who do you think you are to tell me that, Barbie?" said Debrii to the blonde Californian.
Justice sighed and stepped in before it came to anything. All of the Warriors were on edge. More than any of the other heroes realised or seemed to care. "Not here, not now," he said sharply under his breath to the two girls. "We don't need anyone seeing the New Warriors scrap. Just step away from each other and cool off, both of you."
He walked away feeling their eyes on his back.
Later, he sought out an unoccupied bed but slept uneasily, visions of his friends playing out parts from horrific scenarios in his mind. He woke with a cry suspended on his lips which he quickly repressed into a low gasp. The room had been half full when he'd first come in but now it was mostly empty.
"Are you okay? You seemed a bit on edge earlier..." Suzanna Sherman sat cross-legged on the next bed, watching him.
"Just tired. I'm sorry if I was a little abrupt." He sat up and rubbed his face.
She shook her head, "No, it was a fair comment. It's good someone is policing us. Better you than Cap." She gave him a wry smile.
He nodded. Encouraged, she unfolded her legs and stood up, moving to sit next to him, bumping his hip so he would move over. "Trouble sleeping?" she asked.
"I can sleep... it's just the dreams that..." His voice trailed off. She placed her hands on either side of his face, thumbs on his cheeks and slid the partial mask down, his dark hair tousled from sleep and his face tired and troubled. He looked disapprovingly at her.
Her smile turned slightly mischievous. "I like it when you say my name, not too many men call me that." She leaned sideways until her lips were very close to his right ear, their cheeks millimetres apart, then whispered in his ear, "I feel like you're scolding me, Vance. I'm a grown woman, not that much younger than you so you make me feel a little naughty when you say my name that way and I like it, I like it a lot."
He blushed and took a breath to reply but she put a finger on his lips, shaking her head, cutting off anything he might have said.
"Turn around so I can rub your shoulders, you're so tense."
Vance turned his back to her as ordered, mostly to hide how confused that confession had made him feel. He'd been told more than once that he wore his emotions too readily, visible to everyone and anyone. It wasn't so long ago that Angel had broken his heart, Suzanna was as different from Angel as any woman could be. She rubbed his shoulders tenderly, using hands strong enough to crack his body in half to sooth the tension from his strung out muscles. He closed his eyes, yielding to the small intimacy, and she ran her slim fingers through his hair, massaging his temples.
"You knew Debrii was getting to me..." he said suddenly, feeling foolish for not having seen it earlier.
"This is what you're thinking about? My touch must be slipping." She snorted in amusement then murmured, "It's pretty obvious you and Rage are going through hell. I'm just trying to run a little interference where I can."
She slid her arms around him, resting her hands lightly on his stomach. He didn't push her away but nor did he invite further contact so she pulled him closer, feeling him resist, until her cheek pressed up against his broad shoulders.
"Vance, let me in. Tell me what you're thinking."
He shook his head. "Can't."
Sitting back, she urged him to turn so she could look him in the face and see the raw emotion there.
"I want to help. I want to do more than help..."
He took her into his arms, embracing her benignly. "Suzanna... Suzie, I'm not ready yet. I'm fond of you, it's just..."
She took his face in her hands and drew him down, kissing him. He tried to jerk away but she held him until he responded finally, returning a kiss of his own.
"Was that so hard?" she said, smiling.
"You have no idea," he murmured, a slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

"Green & Green"
A Proposal for our Future
Every once in a great while, great movements and great ideas combine to form an unbeatable formula for success and the creation of wealth for our citizens. KCEDA/TEAM Klamath believe we have found an outstanding formula with what we are calling our "Green & Green" Campaign.
Oregon Center for Health Professions
If you happened to catch either The Governor's State of the State or The President's State of the Union address, then you are aware of the bi-partisan support for sustainability.
An outstanding "niche" in the ever competitive and ever changing field of economic development is in the red hot field of Sustainability (also known among various terms such as renewable resources, alternative energy, etc.)
Sustainability may be the most exciting new tool in economic development since the advent of the internet, and it has major positive implications and advantages for the Klamath area.
Merle West Medical Center
The singular best aspect about sustainability is its totality. Indeed in a county such as Klamath, with its vast resource potential, it could define us throughout the state and the country. Sustainability is medicalwith our Merle West Hospital and educational with OIT through geo-heat, agricultural and rural with bio-diesel and ethanol, urban with the City's geo-heat district and public facilities utilizing it, and housing with energy efficiency, homeland securitythrough the Backscatter possibility, and most germane to KCEDA, sustainability is economic development which includes all of the above and also incorporates proven sustainable companies such as IFA Seedling, Collins Pine, and Liskey Farms to name just a few.
We should also remember that every drop of energy we "good guys" make is one we don't have to pay to potential "bad guys".
KCEDA and TEAM Klamath, would like to continue these efforts through various economic endeavors that would relate to marketing to and recruitment of sustainable economic development. This would include but not be limited to agricultural endeavors that might assist the Klamath Basin in water savings and alternative crops (what is "greener" than agriculture?); recruiting those companies that either want to make or utilize sustainability (ie wind, solar manufacturing, green houses), and act as an agent throughout Klamath to help educate our own citizens on sustainability.
In conclusion we believe sustainability has one more positive and practical aspect–whether one is for sustainability to save the planet or make a buck–it is both "green"–as in reducing global warming and "green"–as in saving/making money. Sustainability makes both sense and cent$.
KCEDA/TEAM Klamath believes Klamath could be and should be the "Sustainability Capital of the World".

Martin Foran to get second 'injustice' appeal
A man who says he is one of a handful of double miscarriage of justice victims has had a second case referred for appeal.
Martin Foran, 69, who is terminally ill with cancer, was convicted of robbery in 1978 - a crime he denies.
The Court of Appeal will rule on that conviction after a referral by the Criminal Case Review Commission (CCRC).
A second 1985 conviction of robbing a Birmingham pub was declared unsafe by the appeal court in April.
'Won't give up'
Mr Foran, who lives in Manchester, said he was "very pleased". He served six years of a 10-year sentence for four counts of robbery.
"If it is successful, it will go down in history as a double miscarriage of justice, but I will have to wait and see," he added.
"It has been a long, hard battle to get to this point and I have waited 38 years."
Although he is dying, Mr Foran said he was determined to "hang in there" for justice. "I won't give up," he added.
He told the BBC his dying wish was to go to his grave an innocent man.
Police 'credibility' questioned
The CCRC said it referred his 1978 case to the Court of Appeal because it "considers that new evidence raises a real possibility that the court will now quash those convictions".
"The commission's referral is based upon evidence relating to the credibility of officers of the West Midlands Police Serious Crime Squad, who were involved in the case against Mr Foran."
The squad was disbanded in 1989, but a substantial number of convictions arising from investigations it conducted have been quashed over concerns about the practices of some of its officers, the CCRC added.
Tracy Gibbon, from Olliers solicitors, said: "Martin has never given up hope... We hope that justice will prevail once more and that Martin can have some peace at long last."
In Mr Foran's second case, Lord Justice Leveson said the conviction was unsafe after doubts emerged over the credibility of the principal police witness.
Speaking previously, Assistant Chief Constable Sharon Rowe, of West Midlands Police, said: "The officers involved in the case have since retired or left the force and a number of lessons have been learned since the original investigation was undertaken in 1985.
"The public should be reassured that West Midlands Police expects the highest standards of professionalism from its officers and staff and as such we have robust management and anti-corruption measures in place."
