Are CFLs already obsolete?Published on May 19th, 2009 | By: RussJordan
Warner Philips, founder of Lemnis Lighting Co. in The Netherlands, claims "CFLs are officially an outdated technology. You can't recycle CFLs. You can't get a fully dimmable product. That should make them obsolete."
This is quite a statement, considering compact fluorescent lamps are just now beginning to replace incandescent lamps.
Philips makes this bold statement based on a new 6-watt LED light bulb his company recently introduced at Lightfair International in New York. He has named the bulb the "Pharox LED Light" and claims that it is equivalent to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb. Unlike most CFL bulbs, the Pharox can be used with dimmer switches and contains no mercury. The LED bulb is supposed to have a life of 36,000 hours or 25 years, eight times longer than a CFL bulb.
Of course, all these advantages come at a cost. Lemnis already sells a 5-watt LED bulb, claimed to be equivalent to a 40-watt incandescent lamp, for about $35, down from its price six months ago of $40. The 6-watt version is set to sell for $50.00 on Amazon.com. Philips believes that the cost of the bulbs will decrease rather quickly.
The 5-watt LED bulb is being sponsored by the Clinton Climate Initiative in Europe and 2.5 million will distributed there.
As always, there is a downside. The LED bulbs last 25 percent less time when used in enclosed fixtures. I am more concerned that the 5-watt LED bulb is advertised to produce about 300 lumens, whereas the familiar 60-watt incandescent bulb produces 900 lumens. The question will be whether these negatives are acceptable considering the benefits of eliminating mercury and recycling.
The Lemnis Lighting site includes a sidebar that states, "If every Dutch household were to replace 4 incandescent bulbs with 4 Pharox lamps, we would save 1.5 billion kWh of energy per year. This energy saving is equal to the annual energy consumption of all households in Amsterdam."
One Response to Are CFLs already obsolete?
Already the mercury in the CFL's are less than the mercury that would have been emitted from the coal needed to power an incandescent bulb.
The implict claim is that the LEDs have no toxic materials, this needs to be made explictly.
That having been said , I would buy at least one for outdoor winter application where CFL's perform poorly.

Many people spend Black Friday battling the stores to take advantage of some great deals right after Thanksgiving. While I am sure many score some awesome savings, that type of hustle and bustle just isn't really my style. So instead, in the morning we got up early with some of the family and went on a hike – nothing too vigorous, just a quick little 4.5 mile jaunt in the hills – wow am I out of shape haha. My calves were definitely letting me know it too, but it felt great to be outside for a bit.
And yes, that is an awesome camera pack that I am carrying. It's the perfect thing for safely taking my wonderful DSLR camera with me to take photos!
We couldn't do anything very long because that evening was a surprise 90th birthday party for my husband's grandparents – it was tons of fun, and they never suspected it! Some of the family got them out of the house for a few hours while the rest of us cooked and prepped, and then they got to walk in to the entire family singing "Happy Birthday". Both of his grandparents turned 90 this year, which is an awesome achievement. I hope that I get to live as long and be in as good of health as they are to still be able to enjoy family and friends when I am their age.
I decided to make these fritters because after my adventures in deep frying we were pretty sure we had gotten the handle of it now, and besides I had tons of filling leftover from the gluten free pumpkin and chestnut tortellini that I had made for Thanksgiving Day.
Fritters are super easy – take something scrumptious, batter it, and fry it. That's it. The trick is all in the frying – keep your oil hot (around 375F), don't add in too many at once, and don't cook them too long, and they will be perfect.
I think what made this work really well for fritters too was the consistency of the filling – the pumpkin added a smooth creaminess while the chestnuts contributed just a bit of texture. This is something that one could totally experiment with – and while not really the healthiest "munchie" out there, it sure is flavorful!
P.S. sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures, I didn't really have the time that I normally do to set things up to photograph – but blurry or not, they still were super yummy!
This post is also my submission for this week's Holiday Food Fest, hosted by Shirley of Gluten Free Easily, where the theme is holiday dishes – be sure to check out everyone's great ideas!
For the Filling:
1/2 lb. chestnuts, roasted and peeled
1 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 oz. dried chanterelle mushrooms (rehydrated in hot water), or 2 cups fresh, chopped
1 shallots, diced
1 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz. truffled sottoccenere cheese, grated (or your favorite mild but creamy cheese)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbs. sage, minced
1 tbs. rosemary, minced
1 tbs. thyme, minced
salt & pepper
For the Batter:
3 cups of your favorite gluten free pancake batter, prepared
1. Pulse roasted chestnut meat in a food processor until ground up fairly well. Mix with the rest of the filling ingredients in a large bowl, and use your hands to bring it all together. Then roll into about 1″ sized balls.
2. Start heating up a large pot of canola oil on the stove (or your deep fryer). Meanwhile, dip the balls of filling into the pancake batter and set in a bowl ready to be deep fried.
3. Once oil is up to temperature (near 375F), start dropping in a few of the fritters at a time (do this in small batches), and let fry until the outsides are crispy, just a couple of minutes – scoop out with a large slotted spoon and let rest on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Once cool enough to handle, serve and enjoy!

Annan and On
The odds of war.
Chance of Invasion
Today: 61 percent
Fleischer says Saddam should "leave Iraq and go on trial." Rumsfeld says "No one wants war." But in an unannounced meeting, Condi Rice urges Blixnot to postpone a complete report on inspections until March. Also to "exercise his authority to take Iraqi scientists out of the country for confidential interviews" (Blix has plans to interview scientists in Iraq next week). The Pentagon asks Iraqi exiles to gather at a U.S. military facility so it can prep them to aid in an Iraq invasion as translators and guides. Saddam lets U.N. inspectors conduct a surprise examination of one of his palaces. Annan says he's still "optimistic" that war can be averted. Russian and Egyptian envoys will meet with Iraqi officials this week. War spin: Bushies are growing impatient with plodding inspections. Peace spin: Everyone else is inclined to be patient with plodding inspections.

Good price, solid player to fill out the bottom six for Anaheim- the Ducks add to their strength down the middle.
Two weeks after being bought out by the Arizona Coyotes, Antoine Vermette has landed with a new team.
The 34-year-old centre has signed a two-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks. The Orange County Register's Eric Stephens reports the deal is for two years and $3.5 million.
In 76 games last season with the Coyotes, Vermette had 17 goals and 21 assists.
A native of Saint-Agapit, Quebec, Vermette is heading into his 13th National Hockey League season. Originally taken in the second round (55th overall) of the NHL Entry Draft by the Ottawa Senators out of the Victoriaville Tigres of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, Vermette has also spent time with the Columbus Blue Jackets and Chicago Blackhawks, with whom he won the 2015 Stanley Cup.
His best season offensively came in 2009-10 as a member of Blue Jackets when he recorded 27 goals and added 38 assists.
In 910 career NHL contests, Vermette has 211 goals and 260 assists.

Taking it to the top
Mighty Macs capture 14th state volleyball title
Since becoming head coach of Mother McAuley's storied volleyball program in 2005, Jen DeJarld has experienced a lot of success with many of her teams — but never the winning of a state championship.
That changed Saturday night at Illinois State University's Redbird Arena. There, the Mighty Macs capped off an incredible 2013 season by capturing the school's 14th title in the sport.
In reigning over Illinois Class 4A volleyball for the first time in nine seasons, McAuley ended another team's two-year stay at the top. Benet Academy was the Macs' victim, 25-22, 25-19, in Normal.
Under DeJarld, McAuley had finished second in 2007 and third on three other occasions, including last year. And while she holds great affection for all the teams she's coached, DeJarld understandably beams with pride when considering this year's 40-2 showing.
"It was an exhilarating weekend and an amazing season," DeJarld said. "There's such incredible satisfaction in what this team accomplished [by] keeping focused all the way throughout the season, from Aug. 14 to Nov. 16. It's a long time, and to have and to keep that drive, focus and work ethic is a testament to these girls. All the hard work paid off.
"For all the teams I coached that made it to state — I'm very proud of all of them. We've finished toward the top in many seasons; last year, we made it down with five sophomores.
"But, of course, this is extra special. And to have my daughter on this team — what an amazing thing."
Kayla Caffey paced McAuley in the title match with eight kills, two of them resulting in the 25th point of the first game and the 24th of the second. Ryann DeJarld (seven kills), Kelsey Clark (six), Maggie Scanlon (four kills, five digs), Carla Cahill (nine digs), Mallory Maxwell (eight kills) and Courtney Joyce (26 assists, three kills) also contributed heavily to the Macs' good fortune.
McAuley was ahead 21-20 in Game 1 when Clark and Caffey delivered big kills for a three-point lead. With the Macs up 24-22, Caffey closed out the set with a kill.
In the second game, Benet used a late 4-0 run to tie the match at 17-all, but kills by Clark and DeJarld regained a lead for McAuley that would not be relinquished. Caffey then closed out the match and the players hoisted the state championship trophy.
"They were not going to denied," Coach DeJarld said of her players. "I think in their heart they knew they were going to come away champions. They truly believed it — it didn't take too much convincing on our part as coaches.
"We saw it early on. They were driven and extremely self-motivated — that's what it takes to be a champion."
To get to the final match, the Macs had to endure a three-game marathon against a determined New Trier squad in one of the semifinals. For two games, the Lady Trevians were McAuley's equal, but the latter finally pulled away in the deciding set to complete a hard-fought 32-30, 22-25, 25-15 conquest.
Ryann DeJarld had an impressive 20 kills to go along with nine digs, while Clark (10 kills), Cahill (21 digs), Maxwell (nine digs), Caffey (seven kills), Joyce (37 assists, six kills) and Kennedy Arundel (five kills) also did their part to help the Macs prosper.
New Trier boasted a front line that included three 6-footers — two of the girls stood 6-4 or better — but McAuley countered with 70 digs out of a backcourt that featured Cahill, Maxwell and DeJarld. The Macs rallied from a 12-8 deficit and finally closed out the first game after six chances, with Clark producing the winning point on a kill.
The Lady Trevians jumped ahead 13-5 in Game 2 and were never headed, but McAuley retaliated with a 5-0 start to the third game. From there, the Macs rolled.
"Game 1 was tough," Coach DeJarld said. "New Trier played at the highest level in that match than they had played at any point during the season when they played us.
"They really rose to the occasion, and we had to compete against their tall middles. We kept blocking and chipping away at them, and the persistence paid off. Our defense and ball control, ultimately, controlled the match."
Even after the Lady Trevians forced a third set, De Jarld wasn't worried.
"Our motto is [that] no one is better than us in Game 3 — we just have to bring out so much energy," she said. "That's why we run sprints. We have to have the most energy and highest spirits in a third game. We worked hard on that, and Ryann's 20 kills was pretty spectacular."
The younger DeJarld's semifinal exhibition actually ran somewhat counter to what had been a McAuley strength this season. The most difficult aspect about preparing for the Macs was dealing with the balance they displayed on both offense and defense.
"We really have no one specific player who dominates," Coach DeJarld said. "That's why I think we're so solid, because it was a total team effort. We wanted a diverse team [and] our kill percentage is pretty even across the board.
"That's why it's hard to compete against us, because you never know who's getting the ball. Since all our girls are good ball handlers, we have options — three hitters every time, which keeps our opponent on its toes."
And that balance paid off in an undefeated run through Illinois. Only teams from Kentucky administered setbacks to McAuley in 2013.
And with only setter Joyce graduating, the Macs will enter 2014 as a favorite to repeat.
"We played the tough matches and in the tough tournaments to get us ready for the pressure matches and situations," Coach DeJarld said. "The losses to Kentucky early in the season were character-building experiences for us. Wheaton-St. Francis won [the] Class 3A state [championship], and their only loss was to us — and they almost beat us.
"We're going to lose Courtney Joyce, who is big catalyst at the setter position, but we're excited about next year already because we're basically bringing back everybody else."

Genesis 21 tells of the birth of Isaac and the bitchiness of Sarah. While Sarah wasn't bearing children (maybe as a result of being continually pimped out by Abraham?), she was happy for a servant called Hagar to bear the heir. The second that Isaac is born, Sarah gets rid of Hagar and child. Clearly Sarah was convinced that Isaac wouldn't fall prey to any of the usual problems that killed children back then.
The chapter is a little confusing though – Hagar and nameless child go out to a place called Beersheba, where Hagar runs out of water and leaves her son to die. God comes by and says "heres a well, have a drink. By the way, I'll make your son a king". No real issue, that sort of thing appears to have been common back then. But, towards the end of the chapter, Abraham is doing something holy and decides to call the place he is at Beersheba. Why do these people insist on making it difficult for the postman?
I'm not going to go into chapter 22. It's the story where God tells Abraham to kill Isaac and Abraham (the robot) does as he's asked. Clearly the date was April 1st, because God tells Abraham that it was a trick to see if he was loyal and they swap Isaac for a ram and they all live happily ever after. Actually, that last bit was bullshit – this is the Bible and no one lives happily ever after.
Chapter 23 tells us that Sarah dies aged 127 and Abraham is given the pick of burial places. He picks one and tries to pay for it but Ephron wont take the money. They argue good-naturedly, Abraham pays, Ephron accepts and Sarah gets buried. Apart from trying to show that Abraham wasn't a bad bloke (despite all the previous evidence), this could have been removed and no one would have known or cared.
Quote time!
24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
The first line is the bit we are interested in. There is a school of thought that believes this is a euphemism. What Abraham was actually doing was saying "put your hand on my genitals and we'll swear an oath". This is apparently called a "Yarek Oath". Anyway, stop sniggering because we're moving on…
Chapter 24 has lots and lots of words. Ultimately, the servant went out, found Rebekah and brought her back to be Isaac's wife. And this is my major complaint with the Bible: lots and lots of it is unnecessary. In 3 chapters we see Isaac get born, almost die and then get a bride. 3 chapters. Why have we had to see so much filler?
Chapter 25 is a case in point: At 175 years old, Abraham dies. In the 8 verses to get there he gets married again, has 6 named children, 7 named grandchildren, and then his bit is done with. 10 verses of filler, then Isaac prays for a child (wife barren, not his fault) and Rebekah has twins – Esau and Jacob. Jacob tricks Esau into giving up his birthright and the chapter is done.

CHICAGO (AP) _ Illinois is ending its contract with Northstar Lottery Group, the private vendor that operates the $2 billion-a-year state lottery.
Crain's Chicago Business reports (http://bit.ly/1m2FcAH) that Gov. Pat Quinn is dumping Northstar seven years earlier than scheduled.
Quinn spokesman Grant Klinzman tells Crain's the governor's office has directed the Illinois Lottery to end its relationship with Northstar. He says the administration had "serious concerns" with Northstar's performance.
The private lottery contractor has never reached the lofty sales promises it used to win a bid four years ago.

Policy no. I-1
Effective date: 07/08/2009
Scope: faculty, staff and student employees
"Disabilities" is used according to its definition in Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 which is: an individual who either 1) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of that person's major life activities, 2) has a record of such an impairment, or 3) is regarded as having such an impairment.
Policy Statement
Case Western Reserve University does not discriminate in recruitment, employment, or policy administration on the basis of race, religion, age, sex, color, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression, national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, or status as a disabled veteran or other protected veteran under U.S. federal law. In addition, the university expects all employees, students, vendors, and associates to comply with the policy of non-discrimination. The university intends to maintain an environment free of sexual harassment and will not tolerate any form of harassment of its employees, faculty, or students. Retaliation against persons raising concerns about discrimination, sexual harassment or harassment of any kind is prohibited and will constitute separate grounds for disciplinary action up to and including discharge or expulsion from the university.
In accordance with federal regulations, Case Western Reserve University completes an annual Affirmative Action Plan. This plan establishes university-wide goals for increasing the diversity in each department and school by increasing the diversity of the applicant pool. At CWRU, we seek to employ a qualified, diverse workforce that reflects the global population that we serve. Each member of the university who participates in the hiring process shares responsibility for the affirmative action goals and should be aware of the university's commitment to diversity when involved in outreach, recruitment, interviewing, and hiring from a qualified and diverse candidate pool.
Employees also should be aware of the following specific policy provisions at the university. In the event that any employee believes that the Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity policy is not being fully implemented, then the employee has the right to discuss any concerns with the Office of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equal Opportunity to request a review process through the EEO Complaint Process as outlined in the Staff Grievance Policy and Procedure (V-4, V-4a), and as detailed in the respective documents: Faculty Handbook, Staff Grievance Procedure (V-4a), or the Employment Handbook For Students.
Employment and Accomodation of the Disabled:
The university's Affirmative Action and non-discrimination program encourages the employment and advancement in employment of qualified persons with a disability. Employees may disclose the nature of the disability to the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity and a request for accommodations will be reviewed so that the university may provide reasonable accommodations to assist the employee in performing the essential functions of the position. Submission of disability information is strictly voluntary. In addition, if there is a disability which affects the employee's performance or might create a hazard to the employee or others, then additional information will be helpful such as: 1) the skills and procedures the employee uses or intends to use to perform the job, and 2) the accommodations that the university may make which would help the employee perform the job properly and safely.
Employment of Protected Veterans and Disabled Veterans:
The university has an Affirmative Action program for the employment and advancement in employment of qualified disabled veterans and other protected veterans under U.S. federal law. Persons who would like to participate in this program may identify themselves with the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity. Submission of this information is strictly voluntary.
Title IX:
The university complies with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in federally assisted educational programs and activities. The Assistant Vice President of Institutional Diversity and Equity serves as the university's Title IX Coordinator. Anyone in the university community who wishes to discuss a Title IX matter should consult with the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity.
Sexual Harassment:
It is the policy of Case Western Reserve University to provide a positive, supportive, discrimination-free educational and work environment. Sexual Harassment is unacceptable and unlawful conduct, which will not be tolerated. The purpose of this policy is to define sexual harassment and the procedures the university uses to investigate and take appropriate action on complaints of sexual harassment. This policy and the accompanying procedures shall serve as the only internal university forum of resolution and appeal of sexual harassment complaints.
This policy applies to all members of the university community including all students, faculty, staff, and other university officials, whether full or part-time or under temporary contract, and guest lecturers, volunteers and visitors. Sexual harassment may involve the behavior of a person(s) regardless of the person's gender identity or expression against a person(s) of the opposite or same gender or against a person who is transsexual or transgender. All members of the university community must adhere to the sexual harassment policy and report violations of the policy.
The university is committed to educating its members about sexual harassment via this policy and related resources. Further information about sexual harassment and frequently asked questions about this policy can be found on the University's Sexual Conduct website at https://students.case.edu/policy/sexual.html.
Laws Governing Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and by Section 4112.02 of the Ohio Revised Code. EEOC Guidelines require employers to affirmatively address the issue of sexual harassment and to adopt procedures for the prompt resolution of employee complaints. Similarly, federal regulations implementing Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments require educational institutions that receive federal funds to provide a prompt and equitable procedure for resolving complaints of sex discrimination, including sexual harassment claims.
Sexual Harassment can be defined as any unwelcome verbal or non-verbal sexual advance, requests for sexual favors, other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, and/or conduct directed at an individual(s) because of gender when:
a. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment or student status; or
b. Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for decisions affecting that individual with regard to employment (raises, job, work assignments, discipline, etc.) or to student status (grades, references, assignments, etc); or
c. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or educational experience or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work and/or educational environment*. Such conduct generally involves more than one incident and must be severe or pervasive.
*The work or educational environment includes, but is not limited to: offices, classrooms and clinical settings; residence halls and Greek Houses; on or off campus interactions between university community members; and all university sponsored activities, programs, or events (including off-campus activities such as international travel programs).
Examples of Sexual Harassment:
Acts that constitute sexual harassment take a variety of forms and may include but are not limited to the following unwelcome actions:
- Propositions, invitations, solicitations, and flirtations of a sexual nature.
- Threats or insinuations that a person's employment, wages, academic grade, promotional opportunities, classroom or work assignments, or other conditions of employment or academic life may be adversely affected by not submitting to sexual advances.
- Verbal expressions of a sexual nature, including sexual communications about a person's body, dress, appearance or sexual activities; the use of sexually degrading language, name calling, sexually suggestive jokes, or innuendoes; suggestive or insulting gestures, sounds or whistles; sexually suggestive phone calls.
- Sexually suggestive objects or written materials, such as e-mail or internet communications, pictures, photographs, cartoons, text messages, videos, or DVD's.
- Inappropriate and unwelcome physical contact such as touching, patting, pinching, hugging or other sexually suggestive contact.
- Stalking of a sexual nature; i.e. persistent and unwanted contact of any form whether physical, electronic or by any other means.
- Stereotyping or generalizing about a group based on gender. These types of comments typically constitute sexual harassment when associated with other sexual behavior or comments.
Power Relationships
When one party has any professional responsibility for another's academic or job performance or professional future, the university considers sexual relationships
between the two individuals to be a basic violation of professional ethics and responsibility; this includes but is not limited to sexual relationships between faculty (including teaching assistants and laboratory supervisors) and their students or between supervisors and their employees, even if deemed to be mutually consenting relationships. Because of the asymmetry of these relationships, "consent" may be difficult to assess, may be deemed not possible, and may be construed as coercive. Such relationships also may have the potential to result in claims of sexual harassment. See Consensual Relationship Policy at case.edu/hr/policy-manual/standards-of-excellence/consensual-relationships or case.edu/facultysenate/handbook-by-laws/faculty-handbook.
Although Sexual Harassment often takes place when the alleged harasser is in a position of power or influence (e.g., a faculty advisor to a student, supervisor to supervisee), other types of harassment are also possible e.g., peer to peer.
The fact that someone did not intend to sexually harass an individual is not considered a sufficient defense to a complaint of sexual harassment. For example, in some instances, cultural differences may play a role in the interpretation of behavior, by either the accuser or accused, which may result in a complaint of sexual harassment. It is expected that all members of the university community are knowledgeable about what constitutes sexual harassment under this policy. Although the accused's perceptions will be considered, in most cases, it is the effect and characteristics of the behavior on the accuser, and whether a reasonable person in a similar situation would find the conduct offensive that determine whether the behavior constitutes sexual harassment.
Academic Freedom
Case Western Reserve University adheres to the principles and traditions of academic freedom. As stated in the Faculty Handbook, academic freedom is a right of all members of the university faculty and applies to university activities including teaching and research (case.edu/facultysenate/handbook-by-laws/faculty-handbook). Each faculty member may consider in his or her classes any topic relevant to the subject matter of the course as defined by the appropriate educational unit.
Case Western Reserve University also recognizes, however, that these freedoms must be in balance with the rights of others not to be sexually harassed. It is therefore understood that the principles of academic freedom permit topics of all types, including those with sexual content, to be part of courses, lectures, and other academic pursuits. If there are questions about whether the course material or the manner in which it is presented falls within the definition of sexual harassment, the concerned party(s) should contact a designated reporting office representative (See: Designated Reporting Offices section in this policy).
Responsibilities of the University Community
Any member of the university community who is consulted about and/or witnesses potential sexually harassing behavior has the responsibility to advise the accuser of the university's sexual harassment policy and encourage prompt reporting.
When a firsthand allegation of sexual harassment is made and the alleged harasser is named, members of the university community are obligated to report the allegation to one of the designated reporting office representatives (see Chart II). A firsthand allegation is defined as an allegation from a person who experienced alleged sexual harassment, or from a person who hears the allegation directly from the person who experienced the alleged sexual harassment. Because the university is committed to a positive educational and work environment, in instances where individuals witness or hear about behavior that could be construed as sexual harassment, the individual is encouraged to report the incident to the designated reporting offices.
Confidential resources( i.e. those members of the university who are licensed or designated by law as professionals who can receive privileged communication, and receive information regarding possible sexual harassment in the context of a professional relationship with the reporter of that information) are not required to report allegations of sexual harassment to university representatives (see Chart I within the Sexual Harassment Complaints Procedure, I-1a).
Specific Responsibilities of University Community Members
Deans, directors, department chairs, department heads, supervisors, and administrative officers are responsible within their area for:
- Complying with this policy;
- Identifying and reporting sexual harassment;
- Informing individuals bringing complaints about the university's policy and their right to talk to a representative in the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity or the University Office of Student Affairs as appropriate;
- Cooperating and participating in investigations, resolutions of complaints, and the implementation of recommended sanctions, if any; and
- Providing a work and educational environment that is free from harassment and intimidation.
Designated Reporting Office Representatives in the Office of Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity (216-368-8877), and the Office of Student Affairs(216-368-2020) are responsible for:
- Complying with this policy;
- Identifying and reporting sexual harassment;
- Coordinating, disseminating, and implementing this policy;
- Serving as a resource for all matters dealing with sexual harassment complaints;
- Conducting informal sexual harassment complaint inquiries and facilitating resolutions as appropriate; and
- Referring formal sexual harassment complaints to the Vice President for Inclusion, Diversity and Equal Opportunity.

Singapore Telecommunications, Southeast Asia's largest telecommunications operator, posted on Wednesday a 33 percent fall in fourth quarter net profit, hurt by a one-time loss arising from the sale of its stake in Pakistan's Warid.
SingTel, Singapore's largest company by market capitalization, earned S$868 million ($698.42 million) in the three months ended March, down from S$1.29 billion a year ago.

The Singapore telco's underlying net profit -- which excludes one-off items -- dipped 2 percent to S$1 billion from S$1.02 billion a year ago.
Despite the weaker result, SingTel said it will pay a final dividend of 10 Singapore cents a share, up from 9.0 Singapore cents a year ago.
Looking ahead, Singapore said it expects consolidated revenue to be stable in the current financial year ending March 2014.
(Read More: Singapore Stocks at 2007 High, but Rally at Risk)
"Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), however, is expected to grow by low single-digit level, led by productivity and yield management initiatives," it said.
SingTel reported S$225 million of divestment loss from Warid which was partly offset by S$149 million of net dividend income from Southern Cross.
SingTel had a non-recurring tax credit of S$270 million in the year-ago quarter.

and then I did some research and found out that Possums are completely harmless, non confrontational, and don't carry diseases. Now I want one as a pet soooo bad!
and then I did some research and found out that Possums are completely harmless, non confrontational, and don't carry diseases. Now I want one as a pet soooo bad!
I have snakes and insects. 1 North Mexican Pine snake, 1 Red Tail Boa, 3 Hissing cock roaches, 1 millipede, 1 scorpion, 1 tailess whip scorpion.
I'd love a tarantula but I'm terrified of spiders. Same thing with centipedes.
I've got 2 ferrets- I'd consider them exotic since they are still illegal in some areas (like California, for instance!). Found my first one on Craigslist, then adopted another at a ferret shelter. Hoped they could be friends and play together, but no such luck, lol.
Before I moved from my parents house, along with other, more conventional pets, we had a squirrel and a rat (I think that counts as an exotic). We rescued the squirrel from falling out of a tree.
Well, I used to breed Bearded Dragons and Leopard Geckos. At one time, we had 187 babies! That's not to include all the adults and other reptiles we had.(246 all included) We had it all. Savannah Monitors, Nile Monitors, Beardies, Geckos, Tortoises, Uromastyx, Water Dragons, Pythons, Boas, etc. That was about 6 years ago. I don't do that many anymore. My kids were teenagers at the time and we all had certain reptiles that we liked, bred, and took care of. We have a very large house and space was not an issue for us. Now the kids have grown and we have cut back severely. We now have 4 snakes (2 ball pythons, 1 Columbian Red Tail, 1 Jungle Carpet Python) a gargoyle gecko, and a water dragon. We have had all of them for a very long time now. We have those and a green wing macaw, two large fish tanks, 2 cats, and 4 dogs...... and a partridge in a pear tree!
I had a crocodile many years ago, and have owned a few Boas since.
I now have to own "normal" pets, because my family is scared of snakes.
I have a ferret! We take him to the exotic vet, so I think ferrets count He's old, grumpy, and blind, but we love him. His name is Horatio.
When we got him, there was a little girl littermate at the petstore, and we got Horatio home and he cried because he was lonely. So the next day we went back and got Isabelle. It wasn't until she passed away last summer that we realized he was completely blind. She acted as his eyes, and we think he was scared when he was a baby because he couldn't see and his sister wasn't around.
I love ferrets. I'm in New York City, and they're illegal, but I think they're the perfect city pet. They're quiet, they live in a cage most of the time, and they have personalities like miniature cats. Plus, if they escaped, they'd eat the subway rats!
I used to breed chinchillas, is that considered exotic? I had to give them away when I moved out of town for a new job.
I used to rescue animals in the rural area I resided in. I have had bluejays, chipmunks and other wilds. Most of them I would release but many, often the fallen birds, either did not leave or still maintianed a bond with me.
I have also kept many reptiles, spiders, and honeybees. (I don't know if you would count the last as anytype of pet though but they make good stuff to spread on toast.
I have toned it down a bit of the late and now have a praying mantis.
I used to have a rat, two sugar gliders, and an Emporer scorpion. I've toned it down to "normal" pets though since my hubby is freaked out by the exotics. Especially the spiders and scorpions and such.

A message from Bill and Nancy Christopher P'17, '17
Dear Parents,
We are most honored to serve as co-chairs of the Parents Committee and to continue our participation in the vital role the Committee members play as donors, advocates and volunteers helping to advance the university's mission.
We joined the Parents Committee to try to more actively involve ourselves in the college careers of our twin daughters, Cassie and Allie. By attending the Committee's meetings and interacting with other parents, alumni, faculty and staff, we gained a far greater insight and understanding into what it means to become a Laurentian.
As Committee members we've found we're not just standing on the sidelines, but we're right in there -- on the line of scrimmage -- helping our daughters advance toward the goal line of graduation and beyond.
As contributors to the Parents Fund, we've learned the importance of gifts to the University. They not only help St. Lawrence save money, but also help in the school's national ranking. Publications such as U.S. News & World Report consider the percentage of gifting by parents and alumni as an affirmation of a school's excellence.
The Parents Committee has provided us with an invaluable link to communicating with other parents and the SLU faculty and staff. Last year we were delighted to host an evening dinner and round table discussion moderated by President Fox concerning current campus issues and matters of interest not only to St. Lawrence, but to other colleges and universities nationwide.
Now in their junior year, our perception of St. Lawrence has been nothing but positive. Last month we came across a short article to parents of college bound freshmen. There were three calls home the author cited as most frequently receive (usually in the middle of the night):
1. "I hate it here! I want to come home!" (We never received this kind of call from Cassie or Allie. In fact we had to call them only to learn everything was going great!)
2. "It's hard, I'm going to flunk out!" (Cassie was really scared about biology, but her lab teacher took her under her wing and got her through the course and they're both doing fine.)
3. "I drove off-campus for dinner and this city is really creepy." (Canton is so safe the police will drive you back to the dorm if you've stayed too long at the "Tick-Tock.")
We believe through parents volunteering to help support on campus activities, host an event, or act as ambassadors to an incoming family, their membership on the Parents Committee will not only give them a sense of belonging to the "St. Lawrence Family," but a feeling that they are acting as partners toward achieving their student's success at St. Lawrence. We, as parents, couldn't be happier!
Thank you all for your ongoing membership on the Parents' Committee and generous support of St. Lawrence!

The sun shade for my 1979 Volvo was a rare find. It fits perfectly, is very well constructed and has its own "travel bag" for storage. What's not to like? Glad I found your site, and glad I was able to find a sunshade that fits my old car.

Below are the available bulk discount rates for each individual item when you purchase a certain amount
|274 is designed for heavy duty automotive, construction, mining, farming and industrial equipment and electric motor applications
Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease (#274) is a multipurpose, extreme pressure wide temperature range grease that is specially formulated for use in all types of heavy duty automotive, construction, mining, farming and industrial equipment and electric motor applications that are being used under the most adverse conditions of excessive pressure, high shock loading, extreme hot and cold temperatures, and moisture.
Compounded from a unique blend of the finest select high viscosity index paraffin base oils and polyalphaolefin (PAO) synthetic base fluids available, Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease is blended into an aluminum complex base thickener and selected additives. This formulation provides Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease with the following outstanding performance features:
Incorporated into this blend is molybdenum disulfide giving Moly EP Synthetic Plus the ability to act as a "backstop" lubricant when the grease base has been destroyed or wiped away due to unexpected conditions which exceed the capabilities of the grease base's fluid film lubrication. The "backstop" forms itself to the metal surface to create a long lasting solid lubricant film. This film will withstand pressures up to 500,000 pounds per square inch, giving the metal surfaces of the bearings the protection they need during periods of high speed, high shock loads and extreme pressure.
The moly's solid lubricant film also helps to reduce friction. This reduction in friction results in reduced wear and a reduction in contact area temperature. This in turn leads to increased equipment life, less downtime and extended lubrication cycles. Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease also has excellent adhesive properties so Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease will not wash out, pound out, splatter or squeeze out under the heaviest load or vibrations.
Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease #00 is pumpable to -50ºF, #0 is pumpable to - 40ºF, #1 grade is pumpable to -30ºF and #2 grade is pumpable to -20ºF.
Moly EP Synthetic Plus meets and exceeds the following specifications and manufacturer's requirements: US Steel 346, 352, 355, 370 371 specifications, Caterpillar MPGM, Komatsu, MIL-G-234C, Case-IH 251H, John Deere, New Holland, Ford M1693A, General Motors, Chrysler, P&H 472B, 472C and 472D, Federal Specification VV-G-632A, MIL-G-4343C, MIL-23549C, DOD-G-24508A(Navy), DOD-G-85733(AS), JIS K2220, DIN 515825, SKF, Fag, INA, Torrington, Timken,Rexnord Link-Belt Bearing Division, NSK, Koyo, NTN Bearing, and Roller Bearing Company of America.

In the last issue we reported that BHP had also been dallying with the idea of a short, victorious takeover bid to boost its fortunes in the share market and had started rebuilding its portfolio of mineral projects. However, its choice of investment destinations leaves something to be desired.
The company which lost a fortune on adventurous but uneconomic resources in Zimbabwe (which the unfortunate Zimplats bought for a song), is sinking US$190m into a major oil development in Algeria called Rhourde Oulad Djemma, or 'ROD'. Algeria doesn't generally get good press. Even the Department of...

on March 08, 2013 :
A wonderful tale of feline fantasy, with a daredevil but sensitive hero Chandon who boldly goes where no cat has gone before. A fine mix of adventure, talk (in the language of Meow-say-tongue), friendship and a large dollop of magic make this a story for readers of all ages.

20 Tips to Get More People to Read Your Google Plus Posts
If your Google Plus posts aren't receiving the amount of engagement you'd like to see, it might be time to take a step back and review. We have already taught you how to optimize your business' Google Plus profile, and today we'll lay out twenty tips on how to get more people to read your Google Plus posts.
1. Include photos or videos in your posts. Visually appealing posts will catch a user's eye when scrolling through the real-time news feed.
2. Keep it simple. You may have a 100,000 character limit to ramble on with, but how many people will stop to read all of that? Distill your message to its essence and make it count.
3. Take advantage of the full character limit. Wait, didn't we just tell you to keep it simple? In most cases, yes, you will want to refer to tip #2. However, there are some instances when posting a full blog post, article, book teaser, or other longer piece of well-optimized content is appropriate and may rank well. It is all dependent upon your audience and the content on hand.
4. Insert asterisks around the part of your post you would like Google to use as your title tag. This will bold the text, and your post can actually rank with that title tag in the search results.
5. Style your posts, using italics and strike-throughs for variety. For italics, insert an underscore (_) before and after your text. For example, _how to use italics in Google Plus post_ will appear as how to use italics in a Google Plus post. To do a strikethrough, just put a hyphen before and after your text. For example, -how to use strike-through text in a Google Plus post- will appear as
how to use strike-through text in a Google Plus post.
6. Double check your posts and make sure they are grammatically correct, using Google Plus' automatic spell checker.
7. Make sure to always choose who you want to share your post with. For most brands, this will always be "public." However, segmenting your fans into different circles (based on demographics, previous purchases, etc) can help you target the right content to the right followers.
8. Utilize the option to email up to 100 of your followers. Create several circles, with all less than 100 followers, and then select one to add to your post. Then click the box that says "Also send email to…." See the example below, where I've created a circle named VM and checked the box to email it to that circle.
9. Tag people when applicable. For example, if you are promoting a piece of content that mentions a specific person, or if you're asking for their opinion, tag them using the @ symbol. This will alert them about the post, and allow others to easily get into contact with them.
10. Utilize hashtags. Don't over do it, usually 2-3 of the top hashtags for one topic will suffice. Any more can and usually will appear spammy. Google will auto-populate the hashtags, but before you post, it's a good idea to do a quick search for them to make sure they are relevant, and also to check for those that are currently trending.
11. If you do include a link to a post or an article, make sure to choose the most visually appealing thumbnail. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail image for easy browsing and selection.
12. If the post is important, in some cases it's appropriate to re-post since things often get lost in the mix in a scrolling newsfeed. You may want to re-word the post, so it doesn't appear as duplicate content to Google or annoy your followers who saw the original.
13. Be selective about the time and day you post on. This might take a bit of experimenting, and then analyzing your data afterwards. Look for days and times that your posts receive the most +1's, shares, and comments. This is most likely when your followers are most active on Google Plus.
14. Post interesting excerpts or quotes from articles or blog posts, to give your readers a taste of what's inside the link. Even if they don't want to open the link, they can still interact with your post with the teaser content you've included.
15. Be engaging; ask a question to trigger a conversation.
16. Always respond to comments left on your posts. This lets your followers know that a real person is behind your brand, and you're willing to talk with them instead of at them.
17. Respond to follow up comments via email. When people comment on a thread you have already made a comment on, you should receive a notification email. You can easily respond to the comments within that email. This keeps the conversation going, and makes the seemingly tedious task much more convenient.
18. Post on other people's posts. The more you interact with them, the more likely they'll interact with you.
19. Grow your circles. If you're a brand, then people must circle you before you can circle them. Ask your network to circle you by sending out an email or an other update on your other social networks.
20. Make sure you have your authorship set up completely in your profile and the markup done correctly on your website so your post will be associated with the website it was originally posted on. This way, you can begin to accumulate author rank and get those extra search engine bonuses.
As Google Plus becomes an even more important part of search results in 2013, it's necessary that we drill down and ensure that we carefully maximize the appeal and visibility of each Google Plus post we make.
If you have a tip not listed here that can improve Google Plus posts, leave it in the comments and we'll add it to this list. We'll give you credit and a link to your Google Plus profile.

Hi Sarah –
Nice article, and I learned a new tip with #4. Love that and will definitely use it in my next post.
Glad you enjoyed my Copyblogger post and thanks for your comment!

Maria – thanks for checking our my post, I'm glad I could share a new tip with you!
Michael Feb 11, 2013
Cool post! Hashtags seem to be way over used. It can be very annoying when an entire status update has 10 hashtags. Focus on a topic and then do one hashtag to drive a point without over burdening your audience.
#20 sounds interesting…can you explain more?

Michael, we actually just held a webinar all about tip #20 last week. It's worth checking out!Also, here's 2 other resources you might be interested in:Check out the 'Badges, Buttons and Authorization' section in this post.Also this video on Best Practices for Implementing Author Rank.

Thanks Maegan, I'm glad I could provide a guide for you. Good luck in 2013 and if you ever have any social media questions, feel free to ask!
Amelia Sherrill Feb 14, 2013
I am a fairly active social media user. However, gaining momentum on Google+ has been a struggle for me. Tip #1 is great! Visuals are a great way to catch attention and help engage with an audience. I am apprehensive to repost what others have shared, but I will try including a quote or excerpt from the article when I do share. I will use your tips and hopefully see better results on my Google+ page. Thanks for the tips, Sarah!
Sarah Schager Feb 14, 2013
Thanks Amelia, I appreciate your feedback and you sharing these tips! Good luck with your Google Plus page in 2013!

My setup includes a PDC file server that holds CAD drawings on Hub 1; a BDC email and Internet services server on Hub 1; a member application and file server on Hub 1, 2, and 3; and clients plugged into all three hubs and handled by the member server. I needed to upgrade the member server because the system had less than 5 percent available hard disk space and the processor was a little long in the tooth.
During this upgrade process, the biggest problem was installing WINS and DHCP on the new server. No matter what I tried, clients on Hub 2 and Hub 3 couldn't log on to the network. I tried every tweak and troubleshooting trick I know, but nothing worked. Finally, I closed all services on the old member server, copied the server's WINS and DHCP folders to the new server, and rebooted. This solution worked, and all clients can now log on.
