Price on carbon would help salvage Keystone XL, former TransCanada exec says
A retired executive with pipeline builder TransCanada Corp. believes the long-stalled Keystone XL project can still be salvaged — if incoming Liberal prime minister Justin Trudeau acts swiftly on climate change.
Putting a price on carbon emissions is the last option Canada has available to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the controversial cross-border oilsands pipeline, said Dennis McConaghy, who left TransCanada last year.
He said it's been "enormously frustrating" to see Keystone XL stuck in limbo more than seven years after it was first proposed and feels it has not been dealt with fairly in the U.S. regulatory process.
"Carbon pricing was the last alternative at accommodation that could have been tried. It's still available, perhaps, for our new prime minister," McConaghy said from London, Ont., where he's a visiting fellow at Western University's Ivey Business School.
"I would hope that (Trudeau) would quickly engage with the president on that point. Because there's no pipeline that would be more valuable to Canada than XL."
Decision looming
McConaghy's role at TransCanada was to develop new pipeline opportunities rather than oversee the nitty-gritty of obtaining permits and approvals.
He stressed that he was sharing his personal views, not those of his former employer.
Trudeau has expressed support for Keystone XL, the $8-billion proposal that would enable 830,000 barrels a day of mostly oilsands crude to flow to the lucrative U.S. Gulf Coast market. During the campaign, Trudeau slammed the Conservatives' handling of the file.
In a recent blog post for the Niskanen Center, a libertarian think-tank, McConaghy said outgoing Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper showed an "almost pathological resistance to carbon pricing" — even if it meant smoothing the way for Keystone XL.
"Such logic was beyond Harper," he wrote.
"The Keystone XL pipeline project might have been salvaged if Harper had been more willing to see carbon pricing as a means to address environmental concerns. The failure to pursue approval of the pipeline through carbon pricing is one of the great missed opportunities of Harper's last term as prime minister."
Clinton opposes project
Obama has made it clear he will not allow Keystone XL to be built if it worsens climate change and Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton has come out against the project.
McConaghy said it does not appear that a string of State Department environmental reviews have been enough to convince Obama that the pipeline is environmentally benign.
In the interview, McConaghy preferred not to dwell on Harper's missteps and focus instead on what can be done with a Liberal majority government in Ottawa.
"I would hope our Canadian prime minister would be proactive in trying to at least say to the president: 'before you decide anything on this, talk to me."'
Some of the biggest oilsands operators, including Suncor Energy, Cenovus Energy and Shell have spoken out in favour of a carbon tax — so long as it applies to everyone and doesn't single out energy producers.
But so far the companies whose pipelines carry oilsands crude to market — like TransCanada — have not said much publicly on that score.
"We support efforts that will continue to demonstrate that Keystone XL meets the president's stated climate test that it won't significantly exacerbate GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions," said TransCanada spokesman Mark Cooper.
"Five reports since 2010 and 17,000 pages of study by the U.S. State Department Keystone XL will not significantly impact the environment or the climate."

What a week it has been, filled with so much emotion, confusion, and joy. It's now about 20 days from moving and I have to say the best advice has been from my mom, who is such a light in my life, she says feel all your feelings even the ones you don't want to feel and I have. I never really looked passed this time in my life, I mean I knew I would be married, have kids, a family but I guess I really didn't see how I was going to get there or what the next stage in my life would look like. I was so focused with this chapter that I never really looked ahead and now that its here I feel like I am walking on unstable ground. Not knowing where we are going to live (still looking for a house), not styling shoots every week of my life, living a completely different life then the one I have now for 13 years. I do get scared sometimes but then I know this is the right step even if I can't see past that first step. Its exciting and frightening all that the same time.
My husband is such a free spirit, he would go anywhere with me, do anything and be 100 % happy, I admire him for that, to be happy whatever he is doing, and living in the moment, I mean it's a beautiful thing. He's been rubbing off on me a lot lately, I feel like its the real me shining thru, the one that wants to get a in car and drive to a new place.
One of my followers said to me on twitter today that I inspired her to follow her dreams even if they don't turn out the way she planned, I mean, doesn't that just make your heart glow? Everyone always says that whats around the corner could be so much better then you ever imagined and its so true, I am living proof of it.
Everyday after making the decision to move to Texas has been more rewarding then the last, more joyful, and plain right easy. It's funny when you step outside of a job that consumes you 24-7 and breathe, it's like the whole world changes as if it knows that you followed your heart and doors open all around you.

Oh, the treasures found in the actual first account words of authors. The finest history lessons blossom in reading the actual words of a person of historical importance. Historians can write their interpretation of facts, but only living, breathing people who actually lived through history can give a first account of what they thought, saw, wanted, felt and motivated their actions. An author can always lie to himself and his audience to say what sounds good and tickles the ears of readers, but few ancient writers/authors had the financial ability nor the endless hours of empty time to pen false words.
This week I accumulated several gems at very nice thrift store prices. My list of books I hope to educate myself with so I can be an informed writer with first account facts: (Treasure Quote listed in Green)
- The President of The United States by Woodrow Wilson on Constitutional Government in the US in 1908
"Living political constitutions must be Darwinian in structure and in practiced"
- Masters of Deceit by J. Edgar Hoover in 1958
"Be alert. America's best defense lies in the alertness of its patriotic citizens."

"For a single day next month, locals and visitors will be able to experience Paris without motorized traffic, giving the city over to pedestrians and bikers. Free of traffic congestion, noise pollution and vehicle emissions, the Day Without Cars will transform the physical and auditory landscape, enabling views and revealing ambient sounds ordinarily drowned out by the urban cacophony on September 27th."
This is so exciting! One of the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is to ensure environmental sustainability. I worked under the Ambassador for the IUCN at the UN Headquarters in New York, NY for my internship during law school. The work that this intergovernmental organization does at the United Nations is important, to say the least. Mother Nature is so precious. Cooperation with her is essential to our survival and the survival of our future generations. We don't know it now because we do not feel the repercussions of mistreating her, but something tells me we should not continue on this path. Rather, we should nurture Mother Nature as she nurtures us.

Hearst Tower Leed Certified in "Gold"
We're guessing that Randolph himself would have been proud of a "gold certification". From the press release: Hearst Corporation President & CEO Victor F. Ganzi and U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) President, CEO and Founding Chair Rick Fedrizzi have announced that "Hearst Tower in Midtown Manhattan has achieved official "green" status--the first office building in New York City to be recognized by the USGBC for high environmental performance both on its exterior (core and shell) and interior fit-out and systems". Key features include Low-E glass in the building envelope, light sensors to control the amount of artificial light on each floor based on the amount of natural light available, activity level sensors that control both lights and computers, high efficiency HVAC systems, and use of outside makeup air for cooling and ventilation for 75 percent of the year, plus, use of Energy Star appliances. See excerpt below the fold for Hearst-provided details on an intriguing rainwater collection and re-use scheme and decor choices."Hearst is also employing pioneering technologies in order to conserve and more efficiently use water. For example, Hearst's roof has been designed to collect rainwater, which will reduce the amount of water dumped into the City's sewer system during rainfall by 25 percent. The rainwater is then harvested in a 14,000-gallon reclamation tank located in the basement of the Hearst Tower. The water is used to replace water lost to evaporation in the office air-conditioning system. It also feeds into a special pumping system to irrigate plantings and trees inside and outside of the building. It is expected that the captured rain will produce about half of the watering needs while also serving to humidify and chill the Tower's ten-story atrium as necessary".
"…Walls…are coated with low-vapor paints. Workstations and offices are furnished with desks, chairs and other furniture that is formaldehyde-free. Concrete surfaces are furnished with low-toxicity sealants. The floors beneath and the ceiling tiles above were manufactured with recycled content, and the wood is harvested from sustainable forests."

Teddy Bridgewater Wisely Takes Out $10 Million Insurance PolicyJuly 29, 2013
Teddy Bridgewater doesn't always play it safe on the field. He led the Big East in adjusted yards per passing attempt last season, in large part because he was willing to take risks in the deep third.
Off the field, however, the Louisville quarterback is far more circumspect. According to ESPN's Joe Schad, Bridgewater has taken out a $10 million insurance policy:
The policy protects Bridgewater in case of an injury, a smart move for any probable future millionaire whose life could turn upside down with one unlucky hit. It also indicates, as CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli points out, that this will be Bridgewater's last year at Louisville:
Yeah, while that's a very smart move for Bridgewater to make, as it protects him in case something terrible happens, it's also a good indicator he doesn't plan to return to school next season. Athletes generally don't take out these kind of insurance policies unless they're planning to go pro in the near future.
Louisville finished 11-2 last season under Bridgewater's command, including a 33-23 dismantling of Florida in the Sugar Bowl—a game not nearly as close as the final score indicated. In just his sophomore season, he finished the year with 3,718 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions, leading the now-defunct Big East with a 160.5 efficiency rating.
Now, Bridgewater is being hailed as a blue-chip NFL quarterback prospect, the kind 2013's draft lacked and 2012's draft had in record proportions. It's early in the scouting process, but B/R draft guru Matt Miller ranks him as the top eligible quarterback and a potential No. 2 overall pick.
Football is a cruel and fickle beast, one that takes just as quickly as it gives. With a potential NFL career as his family's premier fiscal commodity, a protective policy of this nature makes perfect sense going forward.
Especially, as ESPN's David Pollack pointed out, behind that Louisville offensive line:
So long as he stays healthy, though, Bridgewater is set for a big payday in April.

The quotation tool that we've introduced on our website makes it effortless to compare an affordable policy price from several different insurers.
Midland, TX (PRWEB) August 14, 2014
The collector market in the United States includes vintage vehicles that are now part of trade shows and exhibitions in all 50 states. The Quotes Pros company is now giving car owners options to make classic car insurance price comparisons using its no charge tool at http://quotespros.com/auto-insurance.html.
A person who owns a vintage vehicle or who is planning to purchase one can use the new tool to accurately make a comparison between several insurers in the U.S. Because the coverage needs for older vehicles can be more complex, the system allows any person to choose the best policies available.
"The quotation tool that we've introduced on our website makes it effortless to compare an affordable policy price from several different insurers," said one Quotes Pros source.
The insurer system that is now connected on the Quotes Pros website has been enhanced in size this year. Aside from the classic automobile coverage options, someone with an average vehicle can still quote liability, full coverage or broad form policies in real time.
"We provide one of the only public portals to find coverage options by zip code that exists in the U.S.," said the source.
The Quotes Pros company is planning to include a new listing of agencies that have the ability to promote more types of policies for consumers this year. A portion of the list is now available at http://quotespros.com/motorcycle-insurance.html.
About QuotesPros.com
The QuotesPros.com company is one of the U.S. sources that U.S. consumers use to find out the cost of coverage packages that are marketed by national companies on the Internet. The free rates finder system that was put into use in 2013 is still available for use at the QuotesPros.com website. The company finds agencies to insert into the public tool to continue supplying the public with low rate options for various insurer brands available.

Life on Pluto? Scientists say it is possible.Rate this title
NASA announced a new discovery about Pluto: blue "sky" and regions of frozen water
Last week NASA's spacecraft New Horizons captured colored images from the fog shell of Pluto's atmosphere. The fog particles are reflecting a blue sky. The spacecraft New Horizons also revealed small regions of frozen water on the little planet. Alan Stern, the main researcher of this mission said: "Who would have expected a blue sky in the Kuiper Belt? It's glorious!"
The way that the red and grey particles disperse the light has drawn NASA's attention. Scientist Carly Hewitt said that the striking blue shade discovered on Pluto gives information about the size and composition of the fog particles.
NASA stated that the spacecraft New Horizons also found many small regions of frozen water on the planet Pluto.
This discovery was made using a mapping device, called Ralf, wich collected the information.
Scientist Jason Cook explained that large surfaces on the planet are not surfaces of frozen water because they are apparently hidden by other ice which is more volatile. He also said the the reason for which water appears in those places on the planet, but not in others, is a challenge. Another curious aspect is the fact that Pluto's areas wich are most likely to have frozen water correspond to the bright red areas. Another member of the team of researchers, Silvia Protopapa, was surprised that the frozen water is so red.
According to the British newspaper The Guardian, Alan Stern, one of the most respected NASA researchers, said that the world from Pluto is alive. He also said that every week he is amazed that the planet Pluto has fog in the atmosphere, weather cycle and is geologically active.
The American Space Agency kept the same discretion like in the case of the most recent major announcement they made: the presence of liquid water on Mars – this discovery is attested by the presence of hydrated salt deposits on the planet.
Many questions remained without any answer yet. Impressive chains of mountains and dunes, colorful surfaces and other elements of mysterious Pluto relief could not be explained by scientists yet.

How to Cook Nelson's Port-A-Pit Chicken
Nelson's is a barbecue restaurant that originated in 1967 in Indiana when a manager of a poultry-processing plant opened a restaurant designed to cook large quantities of chicken pieces while maintaining home-cooked quality. Nelson's is most famous for its "Port-a-Pit" chicken, which has a savory barbecue-like glaze. Nelson's does not offer the recipe to the public, but you can recreate that same smoky and tangy flavor at home with a few simple ingredients.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Step 2
Combine 1 lb. of butter or margarine, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of cider vinegar, 1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce and three minced garlic cloves to a saucepan. Add salt and hot sauce to taste, if you are using them, and heat the ingredients over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Simmer the ingredients, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well-combined.
Step 4
Place the pieces from two cut-up chickens on the wire rack in a roasting pan. Pour approximately 2 cups of the sauce over the chicken.
Step 5
Cover the roasting pan and place it in the oven. Roast the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 6
Take the chicken out of the oven and baste the pieces with the remaining 1 cup of sauce. Replace the cover and roast the chicken for 15 more minutes.
Step 7
Take the chicken out of the oven and insert an instant-read thermometer into a meaty piece of chicken. Avoid touching the bone with the thermometer or you may affect the reading. When the chicken is ready, it should register 165 degrees F.
Step 8
Serve the chicken hot.

Targeting obesity: From bench to bedside
Research characterization
Our team aims at discovering new pathophysiological targets, biomarkers and predictors of obesity and related comorbidity stages. To reach these aims, we develop large-scale approaches using innovative bioinformatics and complex systems' modeling tools. Investigations are carried out in well-phenotyped obese subjects with various metabolic disorders and disease stages in whom data and biobanks are constituted. This strategy generates hypotheses on putative new cellular and molecular pathophysiological actors, which are then tested in in vitro and ex vivo models and in rodents models (genetically or diet-induced obese mice; models of bariatric surgery, knockouts).
Scientific objectives
Our main unifying working hypothesis is that inflammatory/immune unbalance in obesity, potentially influenced by modified (micro) environmental factors is central in adipose cell injury processes. This has major consequences on the systemic homeostasis associated with the biological deterioration of tissues located in WAT vicinity or at distant sites. Our purpose will be to identify relevant new targets and biomarkers associated with obesity comorbidities and resistance to weight loss. We believe that anomalies of some of these targets might also be shared among cardiometabolic diseases. Nutriomic will be developing specific programs to depict at cellular and molecular levels the cross talk between immune system and adipose cell phenotypes. The relationships between these perturbations and obesity comorbidities will be explored. Nutriomic will also investigate the importance of environment changes including nutritional switches on human metabolism and inflammation.

Pennsylvania Petition Problems, Call For Ethics Violations Investigation Crop Up For Kasich
Just when Gov. John Kasich says his 0-22 win record in GOP primaries and caucuses is exactly where he wants to be to win the Republican nomination for president this year, and in advance of his debate tonight with Donald Trump, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Senator Ted Cruz in Miami, two small but potentially damaging glitches have cropped up that could spoil the delivery of his first, improbable inaugural address next January.
The first of his new duo of problems comes from Pennsylvania, his home state, where his campaign admitted it failed to meet state requirements to be on the ballot. It looks like what Camp Kasich did two years ago to bounce Libertarian Party of Ohio candidate for governor Charley Earl off the primary ballot is the same strategy being employed by a pro-Marco Rubio initiative that aims to take Kasich down before he gets up in the Keystone State. According to a report at PennLive, Mr. Kasich is facing a legal battle to stay on the April 26 primary ballot in Pennsylvania.
Problem In PA
University of Pennsylvania student Nathaniel Rome, state chairman of Students for Rubio, is hoping to topple the Ohio governor from the primary ballot by doing to Kasich in Pennsylvania what Kasich did in Ohio to Libertarian Party of Ohio candidate for governor Charley Earl in 2014.
PennLive reporter Charles Thompson writes that "Kasich's campaign has stipulated it does not have enough valid signatures from registered Republican voters to meet state ballot requirements. As a result, it is hoping for a technical reprieve to help the governor keep his Great Lakes strategy afloat."
To be elected president these days, candidates need to win two of three big states—Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida. If Kasich is knocked off the KeyStone State primary ballot in April, he's toast, even if he manages to pull off a win in Ohio over GOP league leader Donald Trump, who two recent polls show beating the 63-year old, term-limited governor while a third shows the governor winning his adopted state. After all, John Kasich was a refugee from Pennsylvania, so he's not a natural born Buckeye for the benefit of Ted Cruz supporters who may find that an issue at the national level if Donald Trump has anything to say about that. And he does.
Thompson writes, "A Rubio win here could be a killer to Kasich's spring strategy of becoming the hot candidate going into the Republican convention." With zero wins so far, Kasich says they have everyone else just where they want them.
Call To Investigate Kasich Ethics
In separate news Thursday, The American Democracy Legal Fund has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether John Kasich violated the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 and FEC regulations by using official resources for campaign purposes. The American Democracy Legal Fund says it "holds candidates for office accountable for possible ethics and/or legal violations."
"As early as April 2015, Governor Kasich and New Day for America, an independent expenditure-only political organization, launched a committee to "start getting around the country more," and posted a web video featuring Governor Kasich speaking directly to camera, announcing the creation of New Day for America. New Day For America filed a Statement of Organization with the FEC on July 23, 2015. Weeks earlier, on July 8, 2015, New Day for America entered into an advertising contract for advertising time in the New Hampshire media market, listing "John Kasich for the Republican Presidential Primary" as the "name of the legally qualified candidate(s) the programming refers to." The form for the New Hampshire ad buy specified that the ad included a "candidate (Republican) discussing his values/beliefs."
"In a July 21, 2015, interview with Bloomberg Politics, a media strategist for New Day for America, Fred Davis, acknowledged that he had shot multiple ads of Governor Kasich paid for by New Day for America that were airing in New Hampshire and had worked with Governor Kasich for about two months. He clearly signaled that New Day for America and Governor Kasich had been coordinating up until the moment Governor Kasich publicly announced his candidacy."
The two key players behind ADL are David Brock, who established it, and Brad Woodhouse who operates it. Both are strong advocates for Hillary Clinton, in particular, and progressive issues in general.
Adding to Kasich's worries is a new report alleging Camp Kasich has skirted the rules barring candidates from coordinating with independent groups, USA Today reports.
Kasich has refused to step aside in spite of zero first-place wins in 20 contests so far. The battle inside the GOP race has been among Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. John Kasich has been a non-factor so far, but now that he's in the final four, more scrutiny by national media into what he's really done, especially the piñata of scandals waiting to drop, could take the shine off his positive, conservative message of being the sane, adult Republican in the room.
With an ego as big as the great outdoors, Gov. Kasich probably won't drop out of the race in Ohio, as he said he would if he loses, if Trump doesn't blow him away like Trump has did to him in New Hampshire and all other states. Gov. Kasich's strategy is to stay in until Republicans convene later this summer in Cleveland, where a brokered convention is his only hope of being the candidate party leaders settle on.
Kasich is working hard to destroy public education in Ohio. Our national ranking has dropped from #5 to #23 and still falling due to the funding crisis. Our corrupt charter schools are a national joke. We have 28 PUBLIC school districts receiving LESS state money than PRIVATE schools. How can that be?!
Kasich has majorly bungled our educational system, how can we trust him to run the country? No way. I'll never vote for him again, that was a huge mistake. To the children of Ohio – my apologies.
Isn't there anyone in the state of Pennsylvania responsible for making sure that a candidate has filed properly? Why does it take an objection from a college student for this to be taken seriously in the first place? The campaign admitted they didn't bother to get enough signatures, he should not be on the ballot.

Commercial property firms in Australia rated by Standard & Poor's are emerging from the global financial and economic crises with "stronger balance sheets and improved risk profiles" like many real estate investment trusts (REITs) elsewhere, according to an expert.
"Over the past few years, the [real estate] sector has dramatically reduced its debt appetite, undertaken sizable equity raisings, adopted more conservative distribution policies, and reverted to 'back to basics' investment strategies and business models," said Craig Parker, Director, Corporate Ratings, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.
At the same time, several investment trusts have selected to operate substantial excess liquidity in the form of undrawn but committed bank facilities to provide a buffer from further unexpected shocks to asset values and take advantage of acquisition opportunities as they arise, Parker added.
Finance teams, who are aware that they do not want to be reliant on the bank market for funding, have been raising debt in the bond markets, resulting in many rated A-REITs to have reduced their bank exposure and lengthened their debt-maturity profiles.
"We view these latest trends as positive for the credit quality of the rated Australian REITs sector, which remains largely entrenched in the investment-grade rating category," Parker said.
Nevertheless, there are some potential negative credit events that may pressure the ratings. For example, investment trusts with balance sheets largely back in order may be tempted to pursue more aggressive business and financial strategies, including sizable debt-fund acquisitions.
"Although REITs have been able to maintain occupancy levels in recent years, companies may also face rental and asset underperformance amid weak economic and market conditions. Refinancing problems may also re-emerge as a concern for liquidity," Parker said.

clinique's beauty boot camp.
im in beauty boot camp! mom, please send me a care package! oh wait, clinique already did. after registering for their online beauty boot camp contest, i got their acne solutions clear skin system - which includes cleansing foam, clarifying lotion and clearing moisturizer.
the cleanser is a basic foam cleanser with salicylic acid, if you need to reduce grease and acne-causing bacteria this wash would certainly help. the "lotion" is pretty much a toner, it is liquid and meant to be used after the wash and before the moisturizer. im not really sure why it is called lotion, but i really like it as a toner. the moisturizer is oil-free and is very light. it is nice for summer because it doesn't make skin feel heavy.
i like each of the three products individually, but as a skincare regimen, it may be a bit over-drying for my skin. none of the products provide any moisture and all are focused solely on combating acne. Though breakouts are one of my main skin concerns, my skin is not super-oily like a teen. i think using these three products together would work great someone whose skin is in the midst of adolescent turmoil. which is fair, considering i think this beauty boot camp is actually for teenagers... for me, ill stick with the clarifying "lotion". but, the attractive green-and-blue bottles do match perfectly with the color scheme of my new bathroom.

American Wife
By Curtis Sittenfeld
Random House, 558 pages, $26
Reading "American Wife," Curtis Sittenfeld's new novel, I was reminded of that old description of Washington, D.C., as "a city full of famous men and the women they married when they were young." Although Alice Lindgren, Sittenfeld's heroine, and Charlie Blackwell aren't especially young when they marry (they're both past 30), the description nonetheless applies. But Sittenfeld turns the idea on its head. Raised in Riley, Wis., and taught not to seek attention (one of Alice's late father's mottos was "'Fools' names and fools' faces often appear in public places'"), Alice, a reluctant heroine in her own drama, is the focus of the novel's capacious attention. To Sittenfeld, certainly, she's far more interesting than Charlie Blackwell, even (or perhaps particularly) once he's been catapulted to the governor's mansion and, eventually, to the White House.

The two main areas that I wish to focus on in
this document are:
Why do we feel we are in a position to make comment
and contribute to your enquiry?
There are several reasons for this and I have
listed these below:
All the cemeteries and closed churchyards within
the Harrogate District are regularly maintained. The grass is
mown fortnightly, shrub and rose beds are well tendered, the paths
are regularly swept etc. The buildings are all on a regular maintenance
regime and are painted in colours in keeping with their surroundings.
Consequently the cemeteries and closed churchyards are highly
maintained, pleasant areas to visit irrespective of whether or
not you are a relative visiting a grave, or someone just visiting
in search of historical information etc.
In addition we hold meetings with local interested
parties such as Monumental Masons, Funeral Directors and the local
Health Trust. We have also as part of our Best Value review undertaken
considerable consultation with the local community. These have
all confirmed that in the eyes of the users it is considered that
we maintain and deliver the service to a high standard. We believe
and strive to ensure that the standard is maintained and improved
upon and reflects the needs of the users.
As part of this process in 1998 we undertook
a detailed financial analysis and introduced a financial plan
with the aim of maintaining the high standard of service whilst
working towards a break-even costing.
In October 1999 as part of our continuing endeavour
to provide a high standard of service a report was considered
by the Leisure and Amenity Services Committee which looked at
the increasing problem of memorial safety and how this matter
could be tackled.
The report considered Memorial Management and
Safety in the Cemeteries and looked at the issues of risk; consultation;
an ombudsman's report that had been published in May 1999 which
had found against another Council concerned as a result of lack
of consultation; what consultation we proposed to undertake; methodology
for undertaking the survey; the legal position; financial implications
and a five year programme for undertaking the survey work which
had been put together following a Risk Assessment. The Risk Assessment
was undertaken in order to identify areas where prioritisation
should lie, and the decision was taken to utilise the following
framework to determine the priorities.
The Ombudsman's report clearly highlighted the
sensitive nature of dealing with memorials that were unsafe and
resulted in costs against the Council concerned. Consequently,
this was something that Harrogate Borough Council had to take
into account when developing the policy and procedures for dealing
with this issue.
Work commenced in the first Cemetery on the
programme in January 2000, and it soon became apparent that the
problem was far more reaching than first thought and also was
going to prove to be a lot more costly.
This work only started to address the immediate
issues of memorial safety within the legal confines we were having
to work with. It did not look at the long term issues in relation
to the types of memorials permitted, the management of monumental
masons and how memorials were to be constructed in the future.
This I will comment on later.
On 7 July 2000 a large memorial approx 2 metres
high toppled onto a six year old boy who was playing in the cemetery.
Unfortunately this young boy was tragically killed by the memorial.
This was a 99 year old, traditional type memorial, of single stone
construction set on a stone base similar to those found in most
cemeteries and closed churchyards throughout the Country.
Discussion took place with the HSE who were
only interested in ensuring that the cemeteries and closed churchyards
that we were responsible for were made as safe as possible as
quickly as possible. They were not interested in:
Within the Harrogate District it has been established
that there are approximately:
There are many other memorials but these are
predominately kerb types of only a few centimetres in height and
are not considered to be of any major concern.
Out of these our initial work has shown that
are unsafe.
After detailed discussions with the HSE it was
clear that the way we had originally planned to undertake the
work was considered by them to be unsatisfactory and they were
looking for us to carry out a detailed survey of all the memorials
taking whatever action was required to make them safe. Consequently
a new revised two year programme was developed that dealt with
the older larger type memorials within the first nine months and
the remainder of the newer type in the following 15 months. This
was backed up with an "Improvement Notice" issued by
the HSE clarifying what we had to do and the timescales.
The result of this was that we had to embark
on the process of inspecting all memorials and laying down any
that were considered to be unsafe. The estimated costs for undertaking
this work over the two year period is £287,670. Obviously
sourcing the funding for this work has proved to be very difficult
for an Authority with very limited resources and other service
areas will suffer as a result.
The bigger issue is "What happens next".
As you can imagine if such large numbers of memorials are being
laid down then the whole character of the cemeteries in Harrogate
are being drastically changed. Once all the memorials have been
inspected and those that are unsafe laid down, there are several
options available to the Authority to take as listed below:
Clearly there is not the funding for options
(b) to (d) to be undertaken within the current budgets and consequently
without financial help then the actions most likely to be pursued
will be along the lines of that which enables the cemeteries to
be regularly maintained and kept in a safe condition in the most
cost effective way. Consequently, we anticipate that either option
(a) will be pursued or (b) if further funding could be found.
It may be necessary to source this funding through a reduction
in the overall service provision. Whilst it is accepted that this
will remove for ever many of the features of these areas and destroy
the historical and cultural significance of them this authority
will have little choice as we do not have the necessary funding
available to undertake the more expensive yet desirable options
Technically the memorials are the responsibility
of the owners who are members of the public and not the local
authority. However, experience has shown that it is often extremely
very difficult to trace the owners if at all possible, and consequently
the Authority has responsibility as land owner to ensure that
the area is safe for anyone using the cemetery.
Having said this there is little legislative
guidance available to assist local authorities in establishing
who is responsible for what and for how long. When considering
memorials the deeds are issued to the individual family member
so technically they are responsible for ensuring that the memorial
is maintained and remains in a safe condition. However, that same
memorial is fixed on land owned by others (the Local Authority)
and consequently under the Workplace (Health and Safety) Regulation
1992, we have a responsibility to ensure that it is safe for all
the staff who work there. However, exactly what all that means
in legal terms is unclear and consequently local authorities are
placed in a difficult position in trying to resolve issues relating
to memorials on their land.
Whilst referring to legislation I would also
like to raise the issue of responsibilities for maintenance of
closed churchyards. The legislation in this area is also very
vague and does not make it clear who is responsible for maintaining
what. It is further complicated by the fact that the Local Authority
often has to take responsibility for maintaining certain areas
which have been closed for burials in which many memorials have
been erected on land owned by a third party (the church diocese).
In these instances who is responsible for maintaining these memorials?
Consequently, it would assist Local Authorities
and any others who have responsibility for managing cemeteries
and closed churchyards if this area could be made clear through
new legislation/guidance.
In Summary the main points that were agreed
with the HSE were:
Points (a) to (c) have all been undertaken by
Harrogate Borough Council and work is continuing in accordance
with the programme. With regards to points (d) and (e) no feedback
has yet been received from the HSE with regards to these matters
and consequently no assistance has been forthcoming.
This highlights a fundamental difficulty that
we as an Authority have been having to grapple with. We are all
aware that there was a serious incident that resulted in the tragic
death of a child. Our record of management and our maintenance
standards for the cemeteries clearly show that we see these areas
as highly important and maintain them at a standard one would
expect for areas such as these. We had recognised that there was
an issue to address with regards to memorial safety and had even
raised this issue with the HSE two years earlier. We had even
put in place a programme for undertaking a survey of all the memorials
in an environment where there was little or no National guidance
to assist us. I feel this clearly shows our commitment to this
part of the service.
The biggest difficulty has been trying to get
assistance form government agencies particularly the HSE.
As mentioned above discussions were held with
the HSE regarding this matter. We were advised that a draft document
had been put together relating to the matter of memorial safety
and that it may be possible to forward a copy. Unfortunately no
copy was provided and we had to develop our own system. Then after
the accident little guidance was forthcoming from the HSE. Again
we were very much left to our own devices with regards to how
we resolve the issue. Even now when issues are raised we get advised
that it is not up to the HSE to tell us how to do it, it is up
to us to determine that. I had always been under the impression
that the HSE was an organisation that worked with others to improve
on Health and Safety however it has become clear that they operate
only as a regulatory body which in instances like this is no benefit
for anyone.
Since the accident there has still not been
any circular sent to Local Authorities by the HSE notifying them
of the potential risks and the need to undertake memorial surveys
in their cemeteries. Meetings with colleagues in other authorities
has shown that many have not been aware of the incident at Harrogate
and of the need to undertake such surveys. This matter could have
been driven through by the HSE and the Local Government Association
in partnership to ensure that steps were taken to remove the dangers
within cemeteries across the Country. Unfortunately this has not
happened and it is only a matter of time before another accident
occurs. As mentioned above the HSE did agree to undertake some
liaison with other agencies but to date we have had no feedback
on any progress made.
Consequently, we do feel that there is a great
need for Government Agencies to work together particularly in
a sensitive area such as burial and cremation to ensure that advice
is given to those managing these areas. Until now it seems that
this has been very much a taboo subject with little or no guidance
being issued. Consequently Local Authorities have had to manage
them in the best way that they can. I would also add that it is
vitally important for such agencies to work closely with the Institutes
to ensure that when particular issues are looked at the overall
implications on the service and more importantly the people that
the service is provided for are fully appreciated. It is all too
easy to focus on one particular area without being aware of the
knock on effects and how that impinges on the bereaved.
The issue of what happens in the future has
still to be addressed. As an Authority we will be looking at the
way we manage the Monumental Masons and also the techniques they
use for fixing the memorials.
In addition we will be looking at the options
open to us to ensure that we do not have a similar problem with
regards to memorial safety in future years. This could mean that
we change the type of memorials we allow to those which are flat,
similar to that used in some other European Countries. Obviously,
if this approach were taken by this and possibly other Authorities
then there will be a major cultural change in the way we bury
our dead and erect memorials by which to remember.

The phrasing "international rules of war" may refer to the content of any treaties or public international laws governing the justifications for and conduct of war, particularly those forcing humanitarian limitations upon belligerent states. Most such statutes derive from a concept called positive international humanitarian law, which uses such treaties to bind consenting nations through wider, ideally universal, participation.Continue Reading
Many of the first laws restricting wartime activities appear in religious sources, particularly in Biblical documents such as Deuteronomy, and in the Quran. However, as the modern era progressed, increasingly secular, humanistic attempts were made to codify international laws of war, particularly those aimed at protecting civilian populations, other non-combatants, POWs and wounded soldiers. Two of the most famous of such efforts include the Hague and Geneva conventions.
At the end of World War II, international lawmakers focused even more stridently on preventing the future mass killings of civilians, invoking for the first time vocabulary such as "genocide" and "crimes against humanity." In 2002, the International Criminal Court, located at the Hague in the Netherlands, became fully active, and was armed with the jurisdiction to try both states and individuals for war crimes, especially when the United Nations security council refers cases to it, or when sovereign states prove either incapable of or unwilling to prosecute alleged criminals.Learn more about International Orgs

Apply: R&D
2018 Deadline TBA
The 2017 R&D application is available for download here (click me)
The 2017 R&D application instructions are available for download here (click me)
SPACES is exploring the concept of Context, during its 2019 R&D season, in order to bridge different artistic disciplines through a holistic framework, connect various projects across multiple platforms, and encourage an investigative examination of timely issues. We invite artists to respond to the many dimensions of Context, including but not limited to: context with regards to systems, circumstances, actions, and interpretation. We are especially interested in projects that expand conventional notions of Context while offering new insight into contemporary art and exhibition-making. We encourage projects that leverage the assets of Northeast Ohio, including display opportunities within the public realm.
What is R&D?
R&D (Research & Development) invites artists, curators and other cultural producers to articulate their investigation of ideas through a supported exhibition or project that may take the form of group, solo, or collaborative endeavors.
This call-for-entries is open to all established or emerging artists, curators and cultural producers who are 21 years old or older. Applications must show a response to the theme of Context, a strong conceptual grounding, and a willingness to delve into research and then develop that research into projects.
Application Details
Each application must include:
- Completed R&D application form — PDF format
- one-page C.V. — PDF format
- work samples
How to Submit an Application
The R&D Application Form & Guidelines tells you everything you need to know about the R&D application process. To find out more please look over the FAQ below. Please email all materials to email@example.com
Application Evaluation
Applications are evaluated by a porous committee of artists, community members, board members and SPACES staff. In some instances, artists are invited to participate in R&D without submitting an application. Applicants will be notified via email as soon as possible after the review on the status of their application. Please do not call or email to follow up.
FAQs (or the questions we assume you'll ask)
Q: I have applied to SPACES before, do I need to apply again?
A: Yes. Even if we retained your material for future consideration, we would like to see your more recent work. And since we are organizing R&D in 2018 under an annual theme, you must describe how your proposed project addresses the theme of Context.
Q: I exhibited at SPACES in _____. Can I apply again?
A: Give it at least a two year rest before you apply again.
Q: What does this do for me?
A: You will gain more of a relationship with SPACES and its staff who will do what they can to help you further your ideas. You get an honorarium, public project and press. Sounds good to me.
Q: I am a traditional landscape/figurative/still life painter/photographer/sculptor. Should I apply to exhibit at SPACES?
A: You can, but I wouldn't if I were you. Our mission statement asserts our dedication to artists who explore and experiment. If your work doesn't have strong conceptual grounding and isn't striving to test boundaries, we may not be a good fit. It's not you, it's us.
Q: I am a traditional landscape/figurative/still life painter/photographer/sculptor but I make my work blindfolded/hanging upside down/some other schtick. Should I apply to exhibit at SPACES?
A: See previous answer.
Q: I am a landscape/figurative/still life painter/photographer/sculptor but I make my work as a examination of these histories and methods and my work is firmly based in contemporary theory. Should I apply to exhibit at SPACES?
A: Yes, please.
Q: In my artist/curatorial statements, I really like to use phrases like, "My work is a de-contextualization of gender identities", "My work fabricates a matrix that engages paradigms of beauty," "Body as text", and "My pieces function as the nexus of post-modern theories of consumerism and environment through the use of ephemeral materials that hint at the sublime." Is that an appropriate way to talk about my work?
A: We have no problems with work that deals in those issues, but please find some other way of talking about it.
Q: It sounds like you're not interested in older artists. Is that true?
A: That is patently false. We are interested in all artists, 21 and over, who are doing thoughtful experimental work. However, if you've ever sincerely used the phrases, "Kids these days", "That Matlock is a great lawyer", or "Get off my lawn", you may want to reconsider applying.
Q: Will being a member of SPACES help my chances of being selected?
A: No. As a current SPACES' member, you have our deepest gratitude, but it won't affect our decisions.
Q: I don't know how to format images/video/sound digitally for submission. What should I do?
A: Rely on the kindness of friends... and Google.
Q: Digital images don't do my work justice. Can I bring my work to the gallery for review?
A: Nope.
Q: What is a work sample list?
A: This is a list that the selection committee uses as a point of reference while viewing your work samples. A good work sample list includes the following information: artist's name (usually listed at the top), filename, title, year, media, dimensions/duration and a brief explanatory note for each piece as needed. A good work sample list is easy to read and uses a legible typeface and font size. Keep in mind that these are often viewed in low-light situations and each image is up for only a short period of time. Overly verbose explanations of each piece will not be completely read before the image disappears from the screen.
Q: What is a support sketch?
A: Because we work with artists who push the boundaries of their practice, their images of previous work may not entirely relate to their project proposal. In that case, we'd like you to somehow illustrate what you're thinking of doing at SPACES and how it relates to the theme of Context.
Q: Should I send postcards/catalogs/reviews of my work along with my application?
A: Please send only what we ask for.
Q: Can I drop off my application at SPACES in person.
A: No. All applications should be emailed to email@example.com
Q: Can I pay my application fee online?
A: Great news: there IS NO application fee this year!
Q: When will I be notified of acceptance/rejection?
A: Reviews of work typically happen within a month of the deadline. We then have some clerical/boring things to do after that. Please don't call or email SPACES to ask about the status of your application unless four months has passed beyond the initial deadline.
Q: Do I get to choose if I want to be in a group or solo format?
A: You have the choice to include your work or not. The nature of the projects is decided by the SPACES staff and programming committee, and we will work with you to make sure your work is properly represented. If you do not agree with the platform SPACES selects for your work, you can gracefully decline participation.
Q: Does SPACES have insurance that will cover my artwork?
A: Yes. The specifics can be discussed if you are selected.

Several hundred Mexican troops have converged on a northern town where an arson fire at a casino killed 52 people.
The Associated Press says 1,500 security forces conducted raids on nearly a dozen casinos in Monterrey, detaining three people.
On Thursday, armed suspects carrying a flammable liquid burst into Casino Royale, and moments later the building was in flames. Authorities are still trying to identify some of the 52 victims.
The investigation into the attack is ongoing, but authorities are looking into whether drug cartels had threatened the casino in an extortion plot. Mexican authorities are offering a $2.4 million reward for information leading to additional arrests.
Nearly 35,000 people have died in drug-related violence in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on cartels.

West Virginia Football 2011: Opening Day Is Sunday and Still No Depth ChartSeptember 2, 2011
With opening day just three sunsets away, West Virginia head football coach, Dana Holgorsen, still has not released the names of the starters.
This could be a good thing or a bad thing.
It could simply mean that there are just too many good players to make a decision. However, it could also hint at the fact that there are not enough players that can play at the caliber that Holgorsen needs to run his new style of offense.
I will go with the former.
I have a hunch that there are just too many players that are outstanding at fulfilling their jobs and that makes it hard to choose starters. Look for the Mountaineers to rotate a lot of players—in and out of the game—on Sunday against Marshall.
With seven—eight if you include injured back, Shawne Alston—options in the backfield, Holgorsen has plenty of young men to get the job done on offense.
The quarterback position is locked up with Geno Smith taking the snaps.
Look for Pat Eger, Don Barclay, Jeff Braun, Joe Madsen, and Tyler Rader to get starts on the offensive line.
Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Tyler Urban, Brad Starks and Ivan McCartney will line up as receivers for the bulk of the game, with Ryan Nehlen, Devon Brown and J. D. Woods lining up for the short yardage plays.
On the defensive side of the ball, plan on hearing the names Julian Miller, Bruce Irvin, Najee Goode, Keith Tandy, Pat Miller, Terence Garvin and Eain Smith the most. Josh Taylor, Tyler Anderson, Brantwon Bowser, Wes Tonkery and Josh Francis should also see some playing time.
Tyler Bitancurt will be kicking the ball through the uprights, while Corey Smith will have the punting and kickoff duties. Austin, Tandy and Starks will double as returners.
Though there has yet to be an official depth chart released by WVU, I feel we will see something similar to what I have described.
It's my guess that Holgorsen wishes that Norfolk State was the first game, so he could get things in a better perspective since he will use the first two games to get a feel of who is better suited for each position.
We may not see a depth chart until Week 3 as the Mountaineers prepare to take on Maryland.

Glaxo freezes sales force despite new drug launches
GlaxoSmithKline will not increase the size of its sales force despite launching five new drugs in the U.S. this year, the company's chief executive Jean-Paul Garnier told reporters yesterday.
"We think there is no point in raising the stakes in terms of the size of the sales force," Garnier said during a post-results conference call. "It's an expensive way to advocate out products to the physician."
Garnier has said in the past that inflated sales forces are characteristic of the pharmaceutical industry's ongoing marketing "arms race," which is chipping away at margins for all companies.
Earlier in the month, Pfizer announced plans to reorganize its sales force but stopped short of reducing staff numbers.
Glaxo yesterday reported a 16 percent increase in its first quarter net income to $2.29 billion, from around $1.9 billion a year earlier.
The company also signed a consent decree yesterday with the FDA, which had withdrawn two of the company's drugs – antidepressant Paxil CR and diabetes treatment Avandamet. The drugs are expected to be back on the market by mid-year.
FDA officials seized batches of the drugs from plants in Tennessee and Puerto Rico in March because of manufacturing violations. Glaxo had earlier recalled batches of the two drugs but its failure to recall all of the affected product led to a federal seizure to halt distribution until the problems were corrected, the FDA said.
