From its origin and establishment in 1990 by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF), Lekki Conservation Centre (LCC) has grown into one of Africa's prominent and most-diverse urban Nature Parks due to its high species richness. It is located in the coastal environs covering an approximate land area of 78 hectares, extending from kilometer 19 along the Lagos-Epe Expressway and ends up a very close distance to the Atlantic Ocean near Okun Ibeju Village, Eti-Osa Local Government Area in the Eastern district of Lagos State. LCC can be accessed through the Lagos-Epe Expressway.
Widely acclaimed as an icon of nature conservation and pearl of ecotourism, Lekki Conservation Centre represents the flagship project of NCF for the preservation of the unique biodiversity, scenic, natural, scientific and recreational values of the coastal environs of the south-western Nigeria. It is therefore one of the best urban parks to satiate visitors' curiosity of nature.
It is the only vibrant protected area in Lagos State and one of the very few vibrant tourist destinations of repute in Lagos and has thus been recognized as one of the notable Sites/Monuments of special interest and exceptional relevance by the Lagos State Government under the LISTED SITES for the preservation, protection and restoration of historical properties and cultural heritage in Lagos State and for connected purposes.
As a Resource Centre, LCC is a model for promotion of environmental education and public awareness/understanding of the natural world due to the rapidly increasing threats to the natural environment, the need to stem the alarming loss of the natural environment and the attendant potentially drastic consequences for the planet as well as the concerns for the future conduct, welfare, happiness and survival of mankind on earth.
With LCC, NCF intends to demonstrate that wildlife is integral to the ecosystems on which people rely for their survival and that we can ensure that the world's wildlife has the space and resources it needs to thrive in harmony with people.

The decline of vultures in Nigeria should be everyone's concern if we understand and appreciate their importance or contributions to human health and the economy. The decline in the number of vultures is due to many factors.
The Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF) advocacy campaign started during the 2017 Chief S. L. Edu Memorial Lecture with the theme "Decline of Vultures: Consequences to Human Health and the Economy".
Attention is being devoted to vultures because of the alarming rate of their decline. Threats to vulture species are from humans. Vultures today are in dire situation especially outside conservation areas. They are in danger of being poisoned, especially through the deliberate poisoning of carnivores; electrocution by powerlines passing through breeding sites, direct persecution and declining food availability. Deliberate poisoning of carnivores is likely the most widespread cause of vulture poisoning. Human persecution of vultures has occurred for centuries and continues unabated. These are all human-induced threats!
Vultures play a crucial role to human health and the economy. They keep our environment free of carcasses and waste thereby restricting the spread of diseases such as anthrax and botulism etc. They are of cultural value to the Nigerian communities. They have important eco-tourism (bird watching) value. Vultures are nature's most successful scavengers, and they provide an array of ecological, economic, and cultural services. As the only known obligate scavengers, vultures are uniquely adapted to a scavenging lifestyle. Vultures' unique adaptations include soaring flight, keen eyesight, high sense of smell and an immune system adapted to degrading carcasses with no negative effect.
Vulture decline would allow other scavengers not properly equipped for scavenging to flourish. Proliferation of such scavengers could bring bacteria and viruses from carcasses into human cities. We need to rise and prevent this from manifesting.
Ecological consequences of vulture decline include changes in community composition of scavengers at carcasses and an increased potential for disease transmission between mammalian scavengers at carcasses and human population. There have been cultural and economic costs of vulture decline as well, particularly in Nigeria.
Vultures in Nigeria are ignorantly considered an omen of evil, therefore, the evil must be stopped. This leads many to kill vultures in the quest for averting supposedly eminent evil. Sad to know this barbaric act still exists.
A recent survey conducted recently by NCF at wildlife markets in Ondo, Osun and Ogun States in South West Nigeria revealed that Kano, Ibadan and Ikare are the hubs of vulture sales. Wildlife and herbs sellers visit these trade hubs to get vultures (live or dead) for their customers and users. Vultures, it was gathered, are being used by the belief-based practitioners and other spiritualists for "Awure" – fortune charm. The survey revealed that a vulture head goes for between N12,000 (twelve thousand naira) and N15,000 (fifteen thousand naira) at retail markets, a feather costs N100 (one hundred naira) , while other parts cost between N500 (five hundred naira) and N2,000 (two thousand naira). The findings further show that although a whole vulture could cost as high as N20,000 (twenty thousand naira) to N30,000 ((thirty thousand naira), once the head is off, the rest of the parts may not attract much money.
Belief-based use is a major driver of vulture decline in Nigeria especially in the South West where they were assessed to be major ingredients in traditional concoction. The local markets for vulture species have soared up in multi-folds as a result of continued demand within the belief-based system. Belief-based professionals who are the users of this economically important species are currently decrying the high price of this commodity as it affects their business. However, there is a need for a change in the traditional belief system that have entrenched the cultural cocoon of the day-to-day existence of people.
The economy of a nation or of a people is not built by trading in commodity and other allied items only, but also on a healthy environment. When an environment is made healthy by ensuring that all the components are functioning properly, people are healthy and trade successfully, which has a ripple effect of imparting directly on the nation's economy. A healthy soul is a wealthy soul and a healthy people is a healthy nation.
People need to be aware of the good services vultures provide to them and participate in tackling the troubles faced by vultures. Researchers need to establish a simple monitoring network for vultures. Toxic drugs that are harmful to vultures need to be eliminated. Time to save the vultures from vanishing is now! Time to be more aware of the happenings in our environment is now! And time to take bold steps to further save nature is now!

"What else can I do with this?"
"Where can I go from here?"
"What will my next step be?"
Instead, they are usually satisfied with the former and move on to their next assignment. How much of that is driven by the way we have created a very compartmentalized education system? Many elementary schools have the opportunity to design truly integrated cross-curricular units. Students can really dive deep into a topic grapple with driving questions, and create something. By they time they hit us in high school, however, those opportunities are far and few between. Now teachers and students alike are compartmentalizing much of the learning in an effort to simply survive. That is a crime. Education should allow students and teachers to THRIVE, not survive.
Students want feedback...sort of. What do they REALLY do with feedback? Honestly,
|Image Credit
But honestly, regardless of the method, I still feel that we are doing students a huge disservice. Not because we are experimenting and finding ways to mix up the feedback. Not because the students don't seem to really look at our comments. But because we have yet to find a successful, scalable approach to inspiring our students to WANT to linger on an assignment and improve their work. They do this all the time through their extra-curricular activities (sports, music, drama, robotics, etc.). They will spend HOURS pursuing their passions outside of school. Whey can't we find a way to support their passion DURING school? This, I think, is a much deeper issue than I could fairly comment on here because it is the bigger question of education in our country. Colleges and universities profess to have certain expectations and thus high schools need to work to meet those expectations. So middle schools need to "prepare" students for the high school expectations and that then pushes down to elementary schools and so on. I think I am overly sensitive to this whole cycle because our high school is college prep, not comprehensive. Thus, the course offerings are more limited and passion is often only found outside the classroom for many students.
|Image Credit
A true overhaul of education expectations, starting with higher education might provide some solutions to this dilemma. But that isn't realistic. So until such time as a clear solution is presented, I think it is imperative that we as educators continue to collaborate with each other, be willing to take risks, and try new approaches in our classrooms to find a process that works for us and our students to deliver meaningful feedback. I know I don't have the answer but I am always willing to learn from others who have something that is working to figure out how to apply it at our school.

US-UN Relations Discussion at the Heritage Foundation
After a blogging hiatus over the summer due to some family medical issues – all happily resolved – I am moving back to posting on a regular basis. I've missed posting and hanging out with the OJ community online. I've been only fitfully been following posts here, or for that matter most of the global news, and I've decided not to try and go back and catch up or join in past discussions, but just go forward from here. I do plan to start posting more frequently on international economic law issues, including the Eurozone crisis and such things, as well as greater attention to international organization issues, the UN, and global governance issues generally.
Meanwhile – though I would ordinarily leave this to the weekly events announcement – I wanted to alert readers that the Heritage Foundation has been kind enough to invite me to talk about my book, released back in May, on US-UN relations – Living with the UN: American Responsibilities and International Order. For complicated scheduling reasons, along with a desire to do this event during the annual September opening of the UN General Assembly session, the discussion will be held this upcoming Wednesday, September 26, 12 noon, at the Heritage Foundation in downtown DC. Here's a link to the event; open to the public; requires RSVP either online or by phone.
It is Yom Kippur that day, so I realize with apologies that some of the folks most vital to this topic will be missing, but there will be video posted at Heritage at some point soon after the event. Good news is that the Hoover Institution, which published the book, is co-hosting, and is making complimentary copies of the book available at the event, which I'll be happy to sign. And finally my thanks to Heritage Foundation senior fellow Brett Schaefer, who will host and moderate the event.

Are there any serious reviews of this from non movement conservatives? The 30 reviews on Amazon were of no help as most were apparently written by high school students and lay people who didn't have a pre-existing appreciation of the moral complexities of the UN collective security regime.
I'm interested in the thoughts of mainline constructivists and internationalist – who are already well informed about the imperfections of the system, but who don't buy heavily into Eric Posner-style reductionism about IL and people who assign a high value to the way the system acts as real constraint, and a mechanism to internalise norms and harmonise.
Will – actually, there aren't any reviews at all. It's the downside of being a book published by a think tank – Hoover Press. Hard to get attention to it in a serious way the way an academic press book would be. That was a deliberate tradeoff on my part; I had offers from academic presses, but they would have charged $35-45 for it. Hoover was willing to price it at $13 for hardback and 9.99 on kindle.
Since I see it as a supplemental reading, at most, rather than a main text in courses – a sort of alternative take – I didn't think anyone would buy it, either as a general reader or for the classrooom, at the academic press price. I might have guessed wrong about the best way to reach an audience – really is hard to get attention to a book like this with this publisher – but finally decided that price would be important at least when the academic publisher would charge triple the Hoover price. Tradeoffs, tradeoffs, as we law and econ professors like to say.
The high school student reviews took me by surprise – I had made the book available pre publication in pdf to several DC area high schools, to see if it was readable by high school students. One of the classes apparently was told they had the option to write a review to Amazon in lieu of whatever the assignment was. Since it looks like some wrote a quickie review without reading the book and everyone else copied it, I guess I have my answer about suitability for high school students. I thought about asking Amazon to take them down, but thought, heck, everything else goes up at Amazon so why not encourage high school students to take part, however minimally, in public discourse.
However, if you want to see a very substantial preview – or some teacher wants to use it in lieu of assigning the book for purchase – I've posted up to SSRN an excerpt amounting to the first three chapters plus intro. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2039790. This is with Hoover Press's blessing; if the downside of a think tank press is no respect, the upside is it's not in it even to cover costs, so it's relaxed about making it available widely. At some point Hoover will simply post the pdf of the whole manuscript on its site for free access.

One injection a week
With relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS), people often wonder what their dosing schedule will look like once they begin treatment. AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a) is a once-weekly treatment. That means you have only one injection a week.
You can take AVONEX in 3 ways:
AVONEX PEN is a prefilled, single-use autoinjector that lets you treat your relapsing MS in a single click. It includes a covered needle that's half the length of the standard needle for AVONEX prefilled syringe.
According to a survey of people taking AVONEX who participated in a clinical study (n=74),
AVONEX Prefilled Syringe
AVONEX prefilled syringe lets you inject your weekly dose of AVONEX manually. Talk to your doctor about whether it's right for you.
AVONEX Powder Form
AVONEX powder form is an unmixed form of AVONEX that was made for use with a standard AVONEX syringe. Talk with your doctor for further guidance.
The injection process and recommended injection sites are different for each of these options. Make sure that you read the Injection Guide and Instructions for Use for whichever form you and your doctor choose.
Before your first AVONEX injection, set up a training session with your doctor. You can also get additional training from a Nurse Educator to help you inject correctly each time. Because AVONEX is given into the muscle (intramuscularly), it uses a different injection technique than other injectable relapsing MS medications, which are given under the skin (subcutaneously). So proper training is essential, even if you're already accustomed to giving yourself injections.
Titrating AVONEX
Titrating AVONEX
During the start of your treatment, your doctor may recommend you build up to a full dose of AVONEX gradually over the first month. This is a process called "titration."
In a clinical study of healthy volunteers, people who titrated AVONEX experienced fewer and milder flu-like symptoms.
The AVOSTARTGRIP® Titration Kit, which is used with the AVONEX prefilled syringe, can help you get started with titration. You should download and review the Instructions for Use before your training session.
*According to a survey of people taking AVONEX who participated in a clinical study (n=74), 9 out of 10 preferred AVONEX PEN to the AVONEX prefilled syringe. People took AVONEX using the prefilled syringe the first week and then switched to AVONEX PEN for the next 3 weeks. Results were based on patient and physician questionnaires.
On their last day of the survey, people rated AVONEX PEN better than the prefilled syringe on ease of injection and ease of holding/gripping.
People were asked to complete a questionnaire on their last day of the survey, rating their overall experience with AVONEX PEN compared with the AVONEX prefilled syringe.
On their last day of the survey, people rated their ability to self-inject AVONEX PEN compared with AVONEX prefilled syringe.
Based on a comparison of injection pain ratings for AVONEX prefilled syringe and the third AVONEX PEN injection.

Pedro Costa, Midnight Eye, ND/NF
"For a small group of diligent cinephiles, Criterion's Letters From Fontainhas: Three Films by Pedro Costa is one of the most anticipated DVD releases of the year, or the last several," writes Sam Adams in the Los Angeles Times.
"The epistolary title of Criterion's four-disc boxed set, which includes Ossos (1997), In Vanda's Room (2000) and Colossal Youth (2006) as well as more than four hours of supplementary materials, is a clue to the films' origins," he continues. "After shooting his second feature, Casa de Lava, in the African country of Cape Verde, Costa was deluged with letters from cast and crew, who hoped he'd deliver them to relatives in the Fontainhas section of the director's native Lisbon. Fulfilling that request meant exploring, and getting lost in, a decrepit but brightly colored slum — home to some 200,000 immigrant Cape Verdeans as well as drug addicts and the dispossessed from all over Portugal."
Andrew Schenker in his four-out-of-five-star review for Slant: "During Costa's 10-year immersion in Fontainhas, the government began a program of slum clearance, relocating the inhabitants to new, more modern housing and the director incorporated this development into the second two films in the trilogy, turning the project into an elegy for a neighborhood that, while having had more than its share of danger and degradation, also housed a vibrant and richly community-based way of life."
Dave Kehr in the New York Times: "A company whose core business is the distribution of imported classics by the likes of Carl Theodor Dreyer, Michelangelo Antonioni and Jean-Luc Godard, Criterion is now taking the necessary next step of bringing difficult contemporary artists directly to its clientele, bypassing a contemporary art house scene that has become depressingly conservative. The route may be risky, but ultimately it makes good business sense: Pedro Costa can't compete with Slumdog Millionaire at the multiplex, but 30 years from now people will still be watching his work."
More from Glenn Kenny, Jamie S Rich and Scott Tobias (AV Club). Interviews with Costa: Josef Braun, Jean-Pierre Gorin (video at Criterion's Current), Aaron Hillis (GreenCine Daily, audio), Neil Karassik (Eye Weekly), Eugene Kotlyarenko (Art in America; more, specifically on Warhol, for Interview) and Patrick McGavin.
Update: "The work of Pedro Costa has progressed in slow, measured steps, but each step has been a giant leap," writes Cyril Neyrat for Current. "His slowness is both the condition and the consequence of ethical standards he shares with precious few directors of his generation. This is no longer the old question of the relationship between subject and form but one of a daily work ethic endowing each decision regarding the frame or the lighting, and searching every face or word, with the same emotional gravity, the same seriousness, so that the film's rhythm is perfectly attuned to the rhythm of life."
"It may not have been exactly the best film released here in 2009 (it was close), but Uli Edel's The Baader Meinhof Complex stoked my hot box like nothing else I saw last year," writes Michael Atkinson at IFC.com, "and it's a movie about terrorists. A movie that heroizes terrorists. A 2.5-hour missile barrage of protest action, rock 'n roll cool and decisive, dream-come-true street combat, Edel's film is a valentine to every imp of political ire we hold in our bellies, just as the Baader Meinhof Group itself became messiahs to young Europeans in the '70s who were fed up with bureaucrats and CEOs staging bloodshed in Vietnam, Iran and elsewhere and getting away scot-free with pockets bulging."
"John Woo's Chinese-language historical epic Red Cliff (Magnet) arrived on DVD and Blu-ray last week in both the original two-part, five-hour version released in China (to great acclaim and success) and most of the world, and in the American theatrical version, which was cut by almost half." Sean Axmaker: "For reasons beyond my comprehension, the publicists responsible for promoting this release were only providing the cut American version for critics (or maybe just me), so I had to wait for the street date to finally get a hold of the long version to review. And having seen it, I can't imagine why they wouldn't want every DVD critic to see this sweeping, magnificently mounted epic as it was originally conceived, completed and screened in the rest of the world rather than the abbreviated digest version." Related: Jeffrey M Anderson's John Woo primer at Cinematical.
"Directed by Leo McCarey, Make Way for Tomorrow is a profoundly sad film, but it's so subtly wrought and generous of spirit that its sadness is transfigured into a kind of exhilaration," writes Jessica Winter in Slate.
Here in The Notebook, Glenn Kenny reviews Maurice Pialat's Under the Sun of Satan (1987), out now from Masters of Cinema: "Scrupulously unfussy and bereft of shock effects, it is nevertheless a horror film in the very truest sense of the term."
DVD roundups: Brad Brevet and Noel Murray (LAT).
Midnight Eye marks its tenth anniversary with annotated lists of the best Japanese films of the past decade from the team and regular contributors (and you, too, can vote in the readers poll). "But instead of merely looking back, we also look forward and give you our personal tip-offs and thoughts on the future of Japanese cinema."
Also: "Born in 1982, the daughter of actor-director Eiji Okuda and essayist Kazu Ando and the sister of rising starlet Sakura Ando, Momoko Ando is certainly no stranger to the world of cinema," writes Jasper Sharp, introducing his interview in which he asks her about "her delicately nuanced debut," Kakera: A Piece of Our Life — and Roger Macy has a review as well.
And: Catherine Munroe Hotes on Tadanari Okamoto, "one of the pioneers of puppet animation in Japan," and Rowena S Aquino on Sion Sono's Be Sure to Share, which "channels his talent and energy for over-the-top, off-kilter vision and filmmaking towards a quieter, subtler but equally moving work about family, memory and the fragility of both."
Wednesday's New Directors / New Films offerings: Dogtooth, Women Without Men and Evening Dress (see yesterday's roundup); and Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat's The Man Next Door. "This icy, elegantly visualized, and darkly funny satire on Argentine class relations takes place mostly within a single apartment located in a sleek modernist building designed by Le Corbusier," writes Nelson Kim at Hammer to Nail. "A cheerfully misanthropic and briskly entertaining piece of work."
But Slant's Ed Gonzalez gives it a mere two out of four stars: "The filmmakers unimaginatively and redundantly, though sometimes amusingly, elucidate on two age-old adages: about how men who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, and how the more things change the more things stay the same." More from Megan Ratner (Bright Lights After Dark).
An online viewing bonanza. First, via Andy Rector, Alexander Kluge's 2001 interview with Jean-Luc Godard, parts 1, 2 and 3.

3 new online marketplaces better than Craigslist
Once upon a time, Craigslist was a great idea. Post classified ads for free! Meet cool singles! Craigslist was stripped-down and straightforward. You could throw up text and photos, then take them down whenever you wanted. You didn't even have to post your email address. Thirty years later, Craigslist is a ghost of its former self. As goes the internet, new marketplaces keep opening up, and I've been very pleased with many of these alternatives.

Oh, Sarah, Sarah. It's you who are truly transgressive and powerful—why else would you be strapped to a gurney for much of this episode? It's you who are the true bionic ballbuster, as you so capably showed tonight—unlike that weak sister, Jaime Sommers, who needs boss man Antonio to tell her what to do. Then again, perhaps Berkut Group dialed down the Girl Power for just this reason when creating the Bionic Woman 2.0. After all, malleability is a positive trait when it comes to cyborg weaponry—they only want Jaime to knock Antonio around enough to give her the illusion of power, not to maim, injure, or kill him, for goodness sake.
Speaking as someone who spent her summers at Ross Drake Stables, how cool is it that in addition to knowing her own self worth, Sarah loves horses? Will Coco turn out to be Sarah's Rosebud? I don't mean that in a dirty way. Honestly. And while Ruth may not do "warm and cuddly," Sarah certainly does, as Mr. Snowboarder is about to find out. Let's hope for his sake she now has that bionic hand under control.

Discussing and Writing about Romeo, a "Solely Singular" Jokester
Lesson 6 of 8
Objective: SWBAT cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of the text by arguing whether Mercutio or Romeo is better at word play.
Getting Started
In the scene we are reading today, Romeo jokes around with his friends. It's the first time we witness him having fun with them. We, the audience, know why Romeo is in a good mood, but his friends don't know. Before we start reading, we will discuss this element of dramatic irony and what we can expect from Mercutio's conversation with Romeo (RL.11-12.6).
It's important to remind students that Mercutio and Benvolio think they were ditched the night before because Romeo is depressed about Rosaline, not because he loves again. Otherwise, it can very confusing for students, who may forget that they know more than the characters on stage.
Before we begin reading, I will forewarn students that the next page and half is comprised almost entirely of puns; Romeo and Mercutio verbally spar each other, all in fun. It is not necessary to laugh at (or even completely understand) every joke; Shakespeare probably wouldn't laugh at our slag, either. Instead, I will ask students to try to get a sense of the better linguist/ pun-ner from the conversation. We will stop at line 90 to discuss our thoughts.
It may seem strange that I'm telling students they don't need to understand what we read today... but they don't. This interaction between Romeo and Mercutio is more about witnessing their friendship than it is about deciphering jokes (RL.9-10.3). To ask students to translate the lines would be frustrating and fruitless. To ask them to focus on character development and interaction is doable and rewarding. There will be plenty of opportunities for thorough translation throughout our reading.
At line 90, we will pause in the reading to think and write about the question: who's the better jokester? Which character one-ups the other and is better at word play? (W.9-10.2)
Again, students don't need to understand every joke to answer this question (but the footnotes in this text certainly help); they can figure it out by focusing on particular words, such as "solely" which is reused to mean different things, and small sections of text. For instance, Mercutio says, "Come between us, Benvolio. My wits faints." This line is easy to understand and can be cited when answering the question (W.9-10.2b).
Students will write and hand in their answer because I want everyone to try. This is the type of question where some students just sit back and wait for someone else to give the answer. Not an option. The art of deciphering is a necessary skill-- the key, really, to standardized testing. They can't give up when they think the assignment is too hard, but instead they need to work through what they can do and use their brain to make connections.
Take a look at what they said.

Finishing the Scene
During the second half of class, we will finish Act 2 scene 4, wherein Juliet's Nurse comes to get news from Romeo. It is the only time the two notoriously bawdy characters-- Mercutio and the Nurse-- appear together, which lends for a few laughs. As we read, we will focus on:
Language (L.9-10.5b)
- Puns overwhelm this scene. We won't discuss all of them, but there a few worth laughing at, especially those directed at the Nurse.
- Malapropism: The Nurse is trying to look more important and educated than she is and therefore tries to use more sophisticated language, but more often than not, she fails to use the right word, which in turn makes her look foolish. I like to tell students that they sometimes do the same thing on essays, when they are trying to "sound smart."
Character (RL.9-10.3)
- Romeo is happy and funny. He isn't just a love poet, but a genius at word play, who takes down Mercutio, who is also quite apt.
Wrapping Up
For homework, students will complete worksheet: Book Review Sheet. It's a simple, but clear, way for me to see how they are doing with their outside read book.

Stan Morikawa is an amazing man. On that first day we met, he seemed like a normal guy and simply asked for guidance to help him grow as a new Christian. However, after he revealed more details, it became clear that his life would have to be an extreme makeover project by God. You see, Stan was a gambling addict and was in a desperate predicament. qFast money was his game and losing money became his fame.q He had lost everything. He destroyed his first marriage and family. He was on the verge of doing the same to his current marriage. He faced huge debts, threats on his life and legal judgments. He lost his business and had no money or job. He caused his best friends to lose money in support of his gambling and investment ventures. He was in a deep hole, expecting to die, when God intervened and gave him an opportunity to live. So now here he was, driven by the fact that this was his last chance, and hanging on to the hope that God, now his Father through Jesus Christ, will carry him through. You will laugh, cry, be upset, anxious and uplifted when you read adventure after adventure of God rescuing Stan from seemingly impossible situations. You will be heart-warmed by the new life found by his two families and friends. You will be excited about the new ministries he introduced that bring dynamic solutions for troubled youth and families. His story will prove that God is indeed available today to make special things happen out of nothing when people trust Him to handle every situation, no matter how impossible it may seem.

We went through my iPhoto and a picture of a plate of pasta I ate in Genova last year struck his fancy. Here is what he had to say. "That pasta omg looks so gooddd! The pesto looks good. I would eat it with bread. The cheese looks good. I love parmesan. I tried pesto before and I liked it a little but I would try that pasta in the picture."

Jack Daniel's has been selling its "Gentleman Jack" whiskey variety since the late 1980s, positioning it as "silky and warm" with a smoothness that comes from being charcoal-filtered twice.
But for all of its life, the super-premium Tennessee whiskey has been overshadowed by regular black-labeled Jack, which has sucked up most of Brown-Forman's media budget. That will begin to change this weekend, when the Gentleman makes his first TV appearance with an ad that will air Sunday night during the premiere of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" series on CNN.
From now through December, the marketer expects to spend at least $7.7 million on media for the campaign, called "The Order of the Gentlemen," which will include print, out-of home and digital. Havas-owned Arnold Worldwide handled all the creative while Interpublic Group of Cos.' UM is the media agency.
The new investment follows the recent trend of booze marketers dedicating more marketing to the premium segment. It is also another example of a spirits marketer getting more aggressive on TV.
In 2012 Gentleman Jack got only $770,200 in measured-media support, compared with $16.8 million for the Jack Daniels brand family, which includes the fast-growing Tennessee Honey extension, according to Kantar Media. Brown-Forman is upping its investment in Gentleman in search of a larger share of the premium whiskey segment, which has been driving category growth for the last couple of years. The brand -- which accounts for about 3% of the marketer's booze volume -- grew by 2.5% in the three-month period through February, according to Bernstein Research.
"It's a good-sized brand, but it's not growing as fast as the category is growing right now and that's frankly unacceptable to us," said John Hayes, senior VP-managing director for Jack Daniel's, who oversees Gentleman. He said average premium brand growth has been more like 10% to 15%.
The TV ad [above], called "Secret Meetings," stars actor Titus Welliver who appears in a dark alley describing the brand as a "twice mellowed Tennessee whiskey men order when they want to feel like gentlemen." That "twice mellowed" refers to the fact that the brand is dripped through charcoal twice, as opposed to once for other Jack varieties, which makes it smoother. The average price is about $30 compared with $20 to $25 for a bottle of regular Jack.
The campaign targets men who are men who are transitioning from their "carefree single" days into more maturity, Mr. Hayes said. "These people still have a fondness for [regular] Jack Daniel's," he added. But as they grow up, Jack Daniels "might represent a bit more of their younger days and they are ... looking to step up." And when they do, Brown-Forman is looking to keep them in the family, rather than sampling one of the other premium whiskey brands that are flooding the market.
The campaign puts a strong emphasis on customer-relationship management. Out-of-home ads will direct viewers to call a phone number in which fans can learn more about the brand and the "order of gentlemen." Along the way, the brand collects information like email addresses. Consumers can also sign up on a web site for a special "friend of the order" card that can be used to get access to special events. The brand also plans to engage with fans though social media and will send small gifts -- like money clips or drinking glasses -- to fans who talk about the brand.
"You can't join the order of gentlemen. You basically earn it though being an advocate of Gentleman Jack," said Greg Pestinger, a senior brand manager.
The program builds on Jack Daniel's long history of one-to-one marketing that pre-dates social media, and even the internet. Jack Daniels black label has had a loyalty club since the mid-1950s. "We have hundreds of thousands of these people that proudly still have their wallet card," Mr. Hayes said. And it's not unusual for him to run into some of them at a bar.
"I gladly buy them a drink and say, 'Thank you very much,'" he said.

BSOD (possibly hardware) Memory_Management
I've been scouring the web for a possible answer for my BSOD...but so far no software changes have worked...
Starting when I had vista I got the BSOD and just before I upgraded (clean boot) to Windows 7 64 bit it wasn't multiple times a day...or as it was at a time...during start up
One of the first ones I actually reported was to yahoo answers called partmgr.sys
Blue screen of death I'm In HELL!? - Yahoo! Answers
The first idea I got from there that helped for a time was doing a defrag..but it didn't last by the next day I was back into the cycle of BSOD hell
And I rarely got the same error twice, but from what I read around the web sometimes they are covering up the problem
So I bring forth to you today a zip folder with the mini dump files...because I can't read them and that's helped so many others...oh and the reason I've been considering it to likely be hardware issue is because lately (I just went and re installed win7 to see if that helped...which it did somewhat) I've been only getting Memory_Management BSOD
Hope there is something I can do...there is a lot of the history of my issue in the yahoo answers post

Ok well I have Bsecure antivirus software (I think I'm running the old version...so that may be part of the problem)
But I also have a Netgear Wireless USB Adaptar which is what the driver upgrade was referring to, I was waiting for the next BSOD and just got it...I did install the driver, though I may have chosen the wrong setting to stick with when it asked me (because I didn't quite know what it was asking--though it might not mean anything anyway)
After I post this I'm going to take a break from the internet and pull out the piece of hardware and see if I get a BSOD with it out...cause that may be the problem there...
Oh and I'm now getting the Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_Or_Equal BSOD
|My System Specs
|09 Jul 2010
Unfortunately just leaving the Netgear hardware disconnected didn't work as it happened again...so may I ask what steps would be suggested for solving this problem?
|My System Specs
|10 Jul 2010
I would suggest you to uninstall the wrong driver and reinstall the right one. Then uninstall the antivirus you are using and replace it by MSE: http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials
Update Conexant drivers as I mentioned, then if BSODs still occur, please turn on Driver Verifier, it will let us know what exactly is the problem
|My System Specs

Alright, I'll do that, and thanks for all the help, it's been great to see progress made!
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2010
So I went 3 days w/o any BSOD but I also hadn't done any of what you had suggested..because it was working fine so why bother, today I went to watch some online video and I got one, so I then followed those steps, and once again got a BSOD though all it said was something about running a CHKDSK /F and it mentioned that a driver should be checked if listed, but none was, so then on reboot I also got a BSOD which was a stop error with little to no information....oh and I forgot to mention that the second BSOD that happened today was also while watching a online video (though I don't know if that matters...I hadn't watched any online video all weekend so that'd be my presumption)
idk what I should do, it seems like maybe the Netgear device is causing the problem...so the constant download of video may have caused it to flip....uhh well have you any suggestions? I'm going to reinstall my protection service as I trust it...
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2010
Thought I'd add this cause I know it helps, but I read through and I noticed that it said driver wg111v2.sys and that is the name of the Netgear device / version number....
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2010
Well, so basically you need to update that driver. In looking through your driver, I can see that wg111v2.sys date from 2007. Window 7 doesn't like out of date driver, and based on what you have described so far, it is probably the cause.
wg111v2 wg111v2.sys Mon Feb 12 14:09:50 2007 (45D012BE)
I still see the Conexant driver still date from 2008, update them please
And this as well, they also product from NetGear
scmndisp scmndisp.sys Wed Jan 17 14:48:03 2007 (45ADD4B3) NetGear, Neutral wireless solution
Please don't turn on Driver Verifier yet. If you already did turn it on, turn it off and update the drivers. You need to update the netgear driver rightnow, it is the cause.
Who knows about window better than Microsoft? That's why I suggested you to use MSE for testing purpose. If that is not the cause, you can reinstall anytime you want
Your choice, I'm always happy to help u, but u need to follow my advise
|My System Specs
|13 Jul 2010
Alright, and thanks for all your help, that appears to be the cause, and Microsoft MSE probably is really good but there are some extra benefits..or so I'm told, though I thank you for bringing MSE to my attention as I have never heard of it prior.
I don't think there is a new Netgear driver yet, as I went to their website and downloaded their latest one and that's what I've been running (most of the time, I did try and earlier version to see if it worked..but it didn't) so I'm just going to write them a message or something, but thanks again for all your help!

Its the result of our foreign policy, drone war fare sees innocents dying on scales that far dwarf the Boston bombing, if we are waging war on a concept such as terror it is a sad fact that the battle could splash over on our own soil.
Ron Paul called it blow back, and frankly Im surprised it took so long for such a tragedy to occur.
As Americans we must resolve not to let the anger from such events make us like these extremest who praise the death of Americans.

NMPA files amicus brief in Morris v. New Mexico in support of expanded end of life choices
December 10, 2013
ALBUQUERQUE, NM—Today, the New Mexico Psychological Association (NMPA) filed an amicus brief in support of Morris v. New Mexico, the lawsuit filed by the ACLU of New Mexico and Compassion & Choices' that asks the court to clarify that physicians who provide aid in dying to mentally competent, terminally ill patients do not violate New Mexico's law against "assisting suicide." The NMPA, the largest organization of professional doctorate-level psychologists in New Mexico and the leading source of professional standards and policy for psychologists who practice within the state, unequivocally states in its brief that aid in dying and suicide are fundamentally different.
The NMPA states:
The NMPA and its members recognize that AID [aid in dying] and suicide are fundamentally different psychological phenomena, and that these different categories of patients must be treated differently by the law for their patients to be able to get adequate psychological support at the end of life. Psychologists think of suicide as their greatest challenge, and they work tirelessly to prevent their patients from committing suicide. They also recognize that AID involves almost no substantive theoretical overlap with suicide…
"Medical, mental health, and health policy experts recognize that the choice of a dying patient for a peaceful death through aid in dying is no kind of 'suicide.' This case asks the court to recognize this, so that physicians in New Mexico willing to provide aid in dying to their mentally competent, terminally ill patients feel safe doing so," said Kathryn Tucker, Director of Legal Affairs and Advocacy for Compassion & Choices. "The growing support for aid in dying is evident. Five states already allow patients to seek aid in dying if they find their dying process becomes unbearable, and this week we will argue before the court that New Mexico law does not prohibit this practice."
The ACLU of New Mexico and Compassion & Choices will take Morris v. New Mexico to trial on Wednesday, December 11 and Thursday, December 12 in New Mexico's 2nd Judicial District.

Life Of A Rodeo Cowboy Lyrics
Artist: Chris LeDoux
Album: Old Cowboy Heroes
Well it really has been nice bein' with ya but I'm afraid that I've got to leave
As you know I'm a rodeo cowboy there's a rodeo down in Mesquite
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy breakin' broncs or getting' broke
That's the life of a rodeo cowboy and that's the only life I know
On the day you think your day is gonna be the big one
And I'll be walkin' away with all that they own
But then your lyin' hurtin' hearin' someone sayin'
Ah give him a hand that's all that cowboy is taking home
Hot beer and cold stale hamburgers makes a meal sorta hard to enjoy
And it kinda makes you think of your momma's chicken
Ah but that's the life of a rodeo cowboy
When your down and your really feelin' sorry well you go for a drink in some bar
Then someone points at you and you hear him whisper
Hey over there stands a rodeo star
When your down...

Created on 27-05-2009 at 00:00 AM
The first of Bayern's four post-season friendlies at the end of the 2008-9 campaign will go down in history as the water fight of Kaufbeuren. After kick-off was delayed by thunder, lightning, gale-force gusts and torrential rain, the men from Munich rewarded an 8,000 crowd for hanging on in there with goals galore.
In a gentle-paced encounter with district league side SpVgg Kaufbeuren, the home club of 60s FCB star "Bulle" Roth, the Bundesliga runners-up recorded a routine 11-0 victory.
The arrival of the Bayern team bus coincided with a thunderous downpour in the Allgäu region, as the heavens opened an hour before the scheduled kick-off. A cancellation looked a possibility for a time, but home officials and the FCB party ultimately opted to delay kick-off by 20 minutes.

UN urges end to ransom payments to terrorist groups
The UN Security Council has approved a resolution urging countries to stop paying ransoms to terrorist groups.
The UK-drafted resolution is designed to put pressure on governments.
The British UN ambassador said al-Qaida-linked groups had made at least $105m (£63m; 77m euros) in ransoms for hostages in three-and-a-half years.
The resolution did not introduce new legal obligations as states are already required not to pay kidnap ransoms under an agreement adopted in 2001.
It was passed unanimously by the 15-member Security Council on Monday.
'Break the cycle'
"We estimate that in the last three and a half years, al-Qaeda-affiliated and other Islamist extremist groups have collected at least $105m," Britain's ambassador to the UN, Mark Lyall Grant, told reporters after the vote.
"It is therefore imperative that we take steps to ensure that kidnap for ransom is no longer perceived as a lucrative business model and that we eliminate it as a source of terrorist financing," he said. "We need to break that cycle."
UK officials believe the number of terrorists kidnappings in countries such as Syria, Yemen and Nigeria are going up - as well as the number of groups doing it.
Several governments are suspected of having paid ransoms to militant groups in recent years.
Four French men kidnapped in Niger three years ago were freed last October amid reports that a ransom of 20m euros (£17m, $26m) was paid to ensure their release. France's government denied paying the money.
Samantha Power, US ambassador to the UN, said hostage takers looking for ransoms "distinguish between those governments that pay ransoms and those that do not".
They "make a point" of not taking hostages from those countries that refuse to make concessions, she said.
The resolution said member nations should "prevent terrorists from benefiting directly or indirectly from ransom payments or from political concessions and to secure the safe release of hostages".
It also urges countries to encourage private businesses to follow guidelines on preventing and responding to kidnappings by extremist groups.

Our bedroom is approx 15X18 foot. We want a rug for the end of the bed. What dimensions would you recommend? Thanks, Ned.
Ned, I would recommend a 5' x 8' rug for the bedroom if you plan to place it horizontally near the end of the bed. If you plan to place the rug horizontally under the bed, a large portion of the rug should be exposed around the top of the bed. I would recommend the largest rug available here, which is the 12' x 15'. The general rule is to allow at least 12 to 18 inches between the edge of the rug and the wall for an area rug. Please let us know if you have any other sizing questions, or questions related to anything else on our site.
Fast Delivery. Easy to shop. Great Prices. Great Selection of Styles and Sizes. I purchased an 8 x 8 square rug. Other websites only carried the rug in rectangular sizes.
This is the third wool rug i have put in my home but it is unfortunately only the first time i have ordered from plushrugs.com. Looking back on the other two rugs, i could have saved so much money had i known about these guys sooner! The rug arrived very quickly and it was exactly what i expected. Thanks for everything! I will definitely recommend you guys.
We encourage any discussion or questions concerning this product. Our goal is to personally respond to any questions placed during business hours within 30 minutes.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska - King College used a 2-1 record which included an 89-80 win over Arkansas Fort Smith to secure the Alaska Invitational championship as a pair of Tornado players earned spots on the All-Tournament team including the event MVP.
Mark Dockery (Nicklesville, Va.) scored 57 points in the three games for an average of 19.0 points per game. He went 20-for-38 (52.6 percent) from the field. Dockery was 10-for-23 (43.5 percent) from behind the three-point line. The senior forward was also 7-for-8 (87.5 percent) at the free throw line. He added seven rebounds in the three games with a pair of steals.
In the eventual event championship game Dockery was 8-for-11 with a 4-for-6 effort behind the three-point line as he scored 22 points in an 89-80 win over Arkansas Fort Smith. The night before against West Florida he poured in 24 points. In the opener against host Alaska Fairbanks, Dockery finished with 11 points as King won by 24 points.
Clarence Smith (Nashville, Tenn.) finished with a 16.0 points per game average for the three-game event for his place on the All-Tournament squad.

The second major revision to how Fedora operates is to make both the tools and the decision-making involved in preparing releases open to all those who are interested. Now, "everything in a Fedora build, from source code to [CD images] is completely free software," Spevack says, with decisions made in a "completely transparent process," typically on public IRC channels.
When pressed, Spevack admits that this process is not quite complete. Testing is done on an automated test bed that gives non-Red Hat employees some access, but he says that, "I don't think we have the entire testing structure out in the open yet." In the future, he would also like to see the Fedora board, which now includes five Red Hat employees, including Spevack himself, and four community members, dominated by a majority of the community.
Still, these points aside, the opening up of the process is complete enough that it is already producing benefits. One of these benefits is Revisor, an initiative of the new Fedora Unity sub-project developed independently of the official processes. Taking advantage of the new openness, Revisor is a wizard that guides users step-by-step through the building of "re-spins" or customized variations of Fedora.
With Revisor, users can choose the package repositories from which to build, groups or individual packages, then build a custom CD or DVD image, a Live CD or a USB stick installation. "We have guys in the Fedora community who have built a graphical tool that lets you build your own mix of Fedora without having any experience," Spevack says, sounding a little awed.
For the larger free software community, another benefit of Fedora's new openness is Smolt, an opt-in hardware profiler that allows the project to collect data about the equipment on which Fedora installs. Even before the release of Fedora 7, Smolt has been ported to the openSUSE distribution. Spevack anticipates the creation of a neutral website where information gathered by Smolt is available for all distributions that carry it.

Apple's legendary co-founder is heading Down Under again in August for a series of events hosted by local tech innovators.
"Once upon a twentieth century, humanity was captivated by the foresight of science fiction writers and filmmakers.

"In August of 2016, Australia will have the pleasure of being in the company of someone who can be said to have truly, literally changed the world. Among the many accomplishments for which Wozniak is renowned, two stand out above the rest: the inventor of the personal computer, and – along with Steve Jobs – the co-founder of Apple," says the tour organiser Think Inc, on its website www.thinkinc.org.au/events/woz.
