Mountain Lion – "Felis concolor"
Also known as cougar, puma, panther or catamount; just a few of the 44 American names and 204 Worldwide that the Mountain lion is known as. This big cat is a powerful territorial predator of the Americas. It is a fusion of stealth and power, stalking and ambushing prey sometimes four times its own weight. Mountain Lions live mostly solitarily, with the exception during courtship or as kittens with their mother for almost two years. "Boone, Crockett and Riley" are our trio of Mountain Lions. Each one has a personality all their own, so their behavior training varies with each one based on their character traits. Being on the brink of adulthood, they still possess the hearts of playful juveniles, enjoying each other when together, or finding something to amuse them when alone.

Quebec manufacturers demand the very latest in manufacturing technology in order to lead in key industries and continue to grow their market share globally. And MMTS exhibitors have certainly responded in this regard. .
Montreal, Quebec (Vocus) May 7, 2010
Manufacturing in Quebec has done an about face. In the depths of the recent recession, pundits were claiming that recovery would be a long and slow road for the manufacturing sector in Quebec. But on the heels of one blockbuster announcement after another in the aerospace market, the momentum has shifted, just in time for the Montreal Manufacturing Technology Show (MMTS), May 17-19, 2010 at Place Bonaventure, Montreal, Quebec.
"We've been hearing a lot of optimism from both our attendees and exhibitors. In fact, we've been adding new exhibits and increasing booth sizes for others in these last weeks before the show," said Nick Samain, MMTS event manager, Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), the event organizer. "The recent news from market leaders such as Bombardier, GE, CAE, Lockheed Martin, CAE and Bell Helicopter is spurring the need for capital equipment such as what will be demonstrated and shown at Quebec's only manufacturing event of its kind."
This renewed interest is confirmed by SME's economic outlook survey of manufacturers in Quebec on their spending plans for the future and their views on the recovery of the industry. The top survey respondents represented aerospace, transportation, medical manufacturing, wind energy, mining, electronics/high tech, energy and consumer products industries.
The study revealed that, while the recent economic downturn had a significant negative impact on their operations, almost two thirds of respondents anticipate business activity to increase in the next 12 months.
"And MMTS is the place to get prepared for this resurgence," said Samain. "Quebec manufacturers demand the very latest in manufacturing technology in order to lead in key industries and continue to grow their market share globally. And MMTS exhibitors have certainly responded in this regard. There are an unprecedented 70 new products to be introduced at the show."
Additional highlights of the survey were encouraging:
- Significant Equipment Budgets -- 37.4% have an excess of $100,000 to spend on manufacturing equipment over the next 12 months. 22% are over $250,000. 7.5% over $1 million.
- Expenditures Increasing -- 48.9% see their manufacturing equipment expenditures increasing in the near future.
- Stable Spending -- 39.2% see their expenditures remaining the same.
- Top Technologies in Demand -- Automation, assembly, cleaning, coolants, cutting tools, lasers, machining centers, material handling, measurement, metal forming, milling, robotics, turning and welding top the list of equipment in demand.
- Respondents will be Evaluating Equipment for Purchase -- More than three quarters of respondents plan to review technologies for purchase at MMTS.
- MMTS is Important in their Buying Decision -- 91% say reviewing these technologies at MMTS plays an important role in their decision-making process.
- Business Improving -- Almost two-thirds of respondents see their business activity increasing over the next 12 months.
- Exclusive Audience -- 69% plan to attend MMTS this year, and more than two-thirds of respondents will not attend another tradeshow this year.
- A New Audience -- 19.4% of those surveyed have never attended MMTS.

BRYANT, Ark., June 20 (UPI) —
This sounds like a close encounter with a blurred mind…
An Arkansas man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and disorderly conduct after he allegedly harassed a couple in a car because he believed they were cruising around in a spaceship. He also thought the driver was an alien.
When James Bushart was arrested, police allegedly found methamphetamine and a pipe that was used to smoke meth.
The alleged victims called police after Bushart began following them around and then pulled up in front of their Plymouth Prowler to demand that the "alien take his spaceship back to where they came from." Bushart is also accused of making threatening gestures.
"That was my biggest problem with what was going on was how upset he was. I guess in reference to the vehicle was the only thing I could think," driver Jay Ward told FOX 16. "I was a little upset about that mostly because I also had a passenger with me that was concerned for her safety as well."
According to the police report, the 44-year-old was shaky and talking to himself while performing field sobriety tests. He also said he was interested in the Plymouth because "it looked like a futuristic machine" and later told police that "he was a very big deal and had 100,000 Asian flowers."

The Chris Waller trained Omei Sword is the new favourite for the Group 1 $1m Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday after drawing perfectly at barrier three in the fourteen horse field.
Omei Sword jumped to the top of the Golden Rose market order with the John O'Shea trained Astern on Monday when Waller confirmed a start for the High Chaparral filly but after drawing an ideal barrier, she is now outright favourite at $3.50 with Ladbrokes.com.au.
Astern stays in close contention at $3.80 just ahead of the Team Hawkes trained Divine Prophet at $4.80 while Inglis Sires' winner Yankee Rose is the only other runner under the $10 mark at $9.50.
Waller had to look overseas to find a suitable rider for Omei Sword and found champion Hong Kong based jockey Joao Moreira who has sort leave from the Hong Kong Jockey Club to travel to Sydney to ride Omei Sword in the Golden Rose.
Waller only committed to run Omei Sword in the Golden Rose on Monday and was left searching for a rider after Brenton Avdulla, who rode her to victory in the Group 2 $175,000 Alpha Flight Services Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on August 20, was booked to ride Impending for trainer John O'Shea.
Leading Group 1 winning jockey Hugh Bowman, who does the bulk of the riding for the Waller stable, had also committed to ride the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained El Divino who he partnered when fourth to Astern in the Group 2 $175,000 MTA Run To The Rose (1200m) at Rosehill on August 27.
Waller tweeted that Moreira will be applying for a release from the Hong Kong Jockey Club to travel to Sydney to ride Omei Sword on Saturday and also that Tye Angland would ride the stable's other runner Nikitas who has drawn just worse than midfield at barrier eight in the fourteen horse field.
"Please note that in the De Bortoli Golden Rose this Saturday, Nikitas will be ridden by Tye Angland and Omei Sword will be ridden by Joao Moreira pending approval from the Hong Kong Jockey Club," Waller tweeted.
Astern was out of luck at the barrier draw, coming up with gate twelve, and James McDonald will be hoping the gaps open up in the straight to give him a chance of winning back to back Golden Rose wins for the Godolphin Team after he steered Exosphere to victory last year.
The Team Hawkes trained Divine Prophet put himself into contention for the Golden Rose with a last to first win in the Group 3 $125,000 Primo Smallgoods Up and Coming Stakes (1300m) at Randwick on August 20 and no doubt Tommy Berry will adopt the same tactics after the Choisir colt draw wide at barrier ten.
Sunshine Coast trainer David Vandyke has Yankee Rose peaking at the right time and was pleased with her gallop with the blinkers on in between races on her home track on Sunday and will head to Sydney on Thursday.
Yankee Rose is also a backmarker and will jump from gate nine with Hong Kong based jockey Zac Purton sticking with her.
Purton and Yankee Rose combined during the Sydney Autumn Carnival for a second to Capitalist in the Group 1 $3.5m Longines Golden Slipper (1200m) at Rosehill on March 19 followed by a win in the Group 1 $1m Inglis Sires' (1400m) at Randwick a fortnight later.
Market order for the Golden Rose at Ladbrokes.com.au: $3.50 Omei Sword, $3.80 Astern, $4.80 Divine Prophet, $9.50 Yankee Rose, $12 Impending, $13 Derryn, $16 El Divino, $19 Mediterranean, $31 Thronum, $51 Good Standing, $61 Nikitas, $101 O'Reilly Cyrus, Oink, Chamalu.

In which we class it up a little.Posted: March 29th, 2008 | Author: johanna | Filed under: Johanna | 1 Comment »
Or, In which I wish, yet again, that I'd gotten the bigger Le Creuset.
I rarely cook straight from recipes, because honestly, I'm a little afraid of them. If I'm making it up as I go along, and measuring by sight and feel, if I screw up I can blame myself. But if I measure and read and it turns out that it's not good, then I guess that either the recipe is bad, or I am.
I decided to just take the risk, and planned for our second recipe to be chicken braised in a white wine sauce, with leeks, carrots, and potatoes. I was a little nervous, because this recipe was from Gourmet Magazine, and it involved several techniques, Braising, sweating, browning, boiling…. making a wine reduction and a cream sauce…. All in one dish. I figured this was going to be a shitshow, and take me forever.
Plus, since it's a riff on coq au vin, it seemed kind of classy and kind of out of my league – as I've written before, I tend toward soft, comforting, warm foods that are generally a combination of crunchy/crisp and soft (like Fried chicken and mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese with a crispy cheesy/breadcrumb coating, for example).
In contrast, this dish was going to be soft. All soft. Browned chicken that's then braised in white wine for half an hour. It sounded delicious, but I was a little nervous.
I needn't have been, it turns out.
I even managed to have everything happen roughly on-time. I seasoned the chicken pieces, and moved them to one side, while I heated up the oil/butter. Then, I browned the chicken parts while chopping the leeks and shallots. I removed the chicken breasts to a plate to cool, while I browned the other half of the chicken parts. I got ready and browned the leeks and shallots, and then added the chicken. At this point, I desperately wished that when Hylton traded me a Le Creuset casserole dish (blue) for helping him carry his couch down the stairs, he had given me the big red dutch oven instead. Because once the chicken parts were all in the dutch oven, with the browned leeks, and the carrots and pearl onions, there wasn't room for the chicken and stuff to actually….. braise in the Riesling I poured in.
Anyways. It reduced a bit, and then went into the oven while I started boiling potatoes.
When the chicken was done, the potatoes were too, shockingly enough!!! I drained the potatoes, added parsley, and finished my wine sauce with cream. In the end, it was DELICIOUS.
I was amazed. I'm not used to making classy food. I'm not used to making something from the likes of Gourmet Magazine. I'm used to doing home food. Although I guess, in Alsace, this was home food. In any event, It was delicious. I was proud of this. I was proud of the sauce, and of the chicken, and of the potatoes. Basically, I was proud that my first foray into nice cooking had produced something so…. nice.
I'm quite proud. I just wish I'd had a bigger dish. The sauce would've been just a little better, things would've been just a little nicer. But in general, I'm very happy that this yummy dinner occurred.
Plus, the left-overs were KILLER.
Next time: In which we entertain with dinner, and it doesn't take forever. Or In which we rescue me from class by drinking a big bottle of White Zinfandel.

Among the most contentious labor issues that arose in the wake of Hurricane Katrina was President Bush's decision to suspend the Davis-Bacon Act, which requires that wages for workers on federal construction contracts, and most federally assisted construction projects, be paid the prevailing local wage. The White House argued that suspending the act would save many millions during the rebuilding efforts. Critics contended that suspension opened up the way for labor abuse and undercut the local workforce.
The Davis-Bacon Act dates from 1931, when it was designed in part to keep higher wage jobs in the hands of white workers instead of the cheaper labor of African-American and other migratory workers during the Depression. As the American work world changed, some critics of Davis-Bacon charge that the Act serves mostly to keep union pay rates predominant.
The Davis-Bacon Act has been suspended three times before the Katrina crisis. In 1934, Franklin Roosevelt suspended the act for three weeks in order to manage changes in the opening days of the New Deal. Richard Nixon suspended the act for 28 days in February 1971 in efforts to reduce inflation pressures. Davis-Bacon was indefinitely suspended by George H.W. Bush suspended the Davis-Bacon Act during the recovery from Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Bill Clinton re-instated the act in March of 1993.
In early November 2005, "pro-labor Republicans" met with White House Chief of Staff to make the case for the reinstatement of Davis-Bacon with relations to Katrina rebuilding contracts. President Bush restored Davis-Bacon in November 8, 2005. Read the Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration Wage and Hour Division's "Guidance on the Suspension of the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts in Areas Impacted by Hurricane Katrina."
The Issue of Citizenship
Latino immigrants are forming a large part of the workforce laboring to rebuild the Gulf Coast. Indeed, the Department of Homeland Security temporarily suspended citizenship documentation requirements for the hurricane area. Even though the requirements were re-instated on October 25, 2005,
a public discussion over the role of undocumented workers on the Gulf Coast has ensued on the floors of Congress.
As NOW has documented over the past few years, the question of immigration reform is one of the most hotly debated in the nation. And on the issue of immigration and labor costs party lines become blurred. Learn more about President Bush's immigration reform plans, and proposed alternatives from The Immigration Debate.

Hey everyone, i have a Jabra 2010 bluetooth headset that i use with my phone but i also want to connect it to my computer so i can use it for skype and when im gaming. it connects to my laptop but windows 7 says that it cant find any drivers for it. i was wondering if you guys have one or know where i can get one. im using the Logitech Unifying receiver that came with my Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse combo. Thanks for the help!

As far as my experience with bluetooth devices, you shouldn't need a driver for the headset as long as the receiver is working.
At least that's the way it works under Linux. I haven't used either of my receivers under windows.

Press Release
Congressional Oversight Panel Releases Report on TARP Use for Auto Industry
Lack of Transparency and Clear Objectives Leaves Congress, Public Unable to Evaluate Effectiveness of Treasury's Strategy
September 9, 2009
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Congressional Oversight Panel today released its September oversight report, "The Use of TARP Funds in Support and Reorganization of the Domestic Automotive Industry." The Panel noted that although taxpayers may recover some portion of the investment in Chrysler and General Motors, it is unlikely they will recover the entire amount. Absent clearly articulated objectives, the Panel is unable to determine whether this result represents a failure of Treasury's strategy.
Even before last year's financial crisis, the American automotive industry was facing severe strains. In 2008, U.S. automotive sales fell to a 26-year low. By the end of the year, a long-term slump became an acute crisis, with Chrysler and General Motors (GM) unable to secure credit and facing reduced consumer demand. Without new financing, they faced collapse – a potentially crippling blow to the American economy that could eliminate nearly 1.1 million jobs. Facing this prospect, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was used to provide American automotive companies with short-term financing and additional loans to finance the bankruptcy reorganizations of Chrysler and GM.
American taxpayers now own 10 percent and 61 percent of the new Chrysler and GM companies. In protecting the interests of taxpayers, the Panel found Treasury defended its interests as would any other stakeholder; however they did so without a clear indication of the ultimate objectives. On one hand, Treasury negotiated aggressively in these transactions and conducted due diligence as if it were a private investor. On the other hand, the decisions to enter into these transactions in the first place and the due diligence that accompanied the decisions suffer from a lack of transparency.
Treasury's support for the automotive industry differed significantly from its assistance to the banking industry. The bulk of the funds were available only after the companies had filed for bankruptcy, wiping out their old shareholders, cutting their labor costs, reducing their debt obligations and replacing some top management. The government's role raises serious oversight issues, particularly Treasury's conflict between competing objectives.
The Panel recommends that, to mitigate the potential conflicts of interest inherent in owning Chrysler and GM shares, Treasury should take exceptional care to explain its decision making and provide a full, transparent picture of its actions. To limit the impact of conflicts of interest and to facilitate an effective exit strategy, Treasury should also consider placing its GM and Chrysler shares in an independent trust that would be insulated from political pressure and government interference.
Given the questions surrounding Treasury's use of its authority under TARP to aid the ailing domestic automotive industry, Treasury should provide its legal analysis justifying this decision. The Panel found that further questions about the propriety of the bankruptcy proceedings – accusations of illegal behavior and allegations that statutory bankruptcy priorities were overturned – are overblown and inaccurate. The full report can be found at cop.senate.gov.The Congressional Oversight Panel was created to oversee the expenditure of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds authorized by Congress in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA) and to provide recommendations on regulatory reform. The Panel members are: former Securities and Exchange Commissioner Paul S. Atkins, Congressman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX), Richard H. Neiman, Superintendent of Banks for the State of New York, Damon Silvers, Associate General Counsel of the AFL-CIO and Elizabeth Warren, Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.

Start of Operations in the 50:50 Chinese Joint Venture Between Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. and Transgene
Start of Operations in the 50:50 Chinese Joint Venture Between Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. and Transgene
- - 4 Transgene products selected for development in China
- - First local clinical development expected in 2015
Strasbourg (France), July 27, 2012 - Transgene(Euronext Paris: FR0005175080) announces the effective start of operations in its 50:50 Chinese equity joint venture ("EJV") with Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd.

- TG1050, an HBV therapeutic vaccine recently selected for development,
- TG4040, an HCV therapeutic vaccine currently in phase 2 clinical trials, and
- TG6002, a second generation oncolytic virus developed in cancer.
The EJV will initially focus on technology transfer from Transgene for the pharmaceutical development of the products locally. The EJV will subcontract most of its research and development activities to Tasly and to third-parties so as to focus on project management as well as on medical and regulatory development. A first clinical trial is expected to start in 2015.
Upon registration, the EJV will distribute and commercialize the products, directly or through distribution agreements with Tasly.
The EJV will be staffed locally, with the CEO appointed by Transgene.
Tasly and Transgene will respectively invest 5.3 and 2.6 million euros in a first capital increase of the EJV. Transgene will also contribute intellectual property rights so as to balance the equity ownership of the EJV at 50:50 with Tasly.
Transgene will retain exclusive rights to its products outside of the EJV territories.
The EJV intends to develop additional products, including non-Transgene products in-licensed for their development and commercialization in the EJV territories.
"We are extremely happy to start our operations in our joint venture with the Tasly Group. Since we have started this venture, we have had very constructive and fruitful discussions with Tasly that have led to a very ambitious business plan, now being put in motion" stated Philippe Archinard, Chairman and CEO of Transgene. He added: "We are convinced that China is soon going to become one of the largest markets for biopharmaceuticals and the products selected for development address large local unmet medical needs such as HCV or HBV. With Tasly, we share a long term industrial vision and we have the right group of talented person to jointly develop these promising drugs that we hope will make a difference for patients' lives, in China and globally".

The Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork Trekking Poles are a set of trekking poles for making the hiking trip easier. Stability and relieving some of the pack weight from your knees are just what the poles are ready for. Starting with your hands, the ergonomic angle in the grip increases comfort while the cork wicks moisture from your palms quickly. A wrist strap on each ensures your poles stay close, in case you need to let go to catch a fall, scramble a little, or scratch your nose. The double FlickLocks make height adjustments quick and collapsing even faster so you can spend time soaking in nature instead of messing with your gear.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

It's a new year, in case you hadn't noticed. I myself am still finishing 2016's work, so I hardly have that "fresh start," "new year, new me" feeling.. it's the same ol' 2016 me until I finish these projects and move on to the Next Big Thing. About this time last year, that big thing was my Vibrant Vintage CAL. With so many participants and a new square each week, I had a lot of fun keeping busy!
CALs are a beautiful way to make the coming of the new year count. An easy-breezy commitment with a support group net of crafters that paves a surefire road to accomplishment. But this year I don't have time to run a CAL. I do miss it though, so 2018 here I come 🙂
For now, check out these CALs from some seriously talented crafters that are sure to draw a crowd.
1. Hygge Wrap
Make the gorgeous and elegant Hygge wrap by Kirsten of HaakMaarRaak – available in three color-ways. This is the Scheepjes CAL for 2017 – wow! It has just the right combination of easy and challenging bits, perfect for a CAL. And just take a look at the photos – my fingers are itching to make this one, especially with the cross-stitch sections.
Here's the teaser pic with the three different color-ways. Lush!!
Make it!! – Browse the no hassle color packs for this CAL at WoolWarehouse*!
2. Temp Blanket!
Rock the popular Temperature Blanket with Susan of The Felted Button. Pick any of her spunky designs and join her in the CAL fun! Don't want the year-long commitment? Susan advises you to pick a special year and use the recorded temps for a quick make. She used the daily temperatures from her daughter's birth year to make a gift for her. I love this idea!
My favorite of her patterns that I think would also be great for this CAL is the Basket of Rainbows Blanket. That Border is the perfect final touch!
Make it!! – Check out yarn brands with wide color ranges in different materials, like wool: KnitPicks Palette*, acrylic: Scheepjes ColourCrafter*, or cotton: Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton*.
3. Moogly CAL
Stick with learning more creative ways to granny with the 2017 Moogly CAL. Tamara has curated a very unique mix of forever-free squares that are sure to keep your interest for this lovely make.
Make it!! – She recommends using Vanna's Choice* or Vanna's Choice Heather* yarn for this piece. Or a combination of the two! Love it!
Those CALs should keep you on track to at least complete one project this year – haha trust me the only reason I don't have a pile of WIPs is because I always frog them!! 😂😂 That's the secret… get rid of the evidence…
And here's an added CAL bonus: Sophie's Universe, the sensation of 2015 by Dedri Uys, has been made into a book!! To find yarn packs to make Sophie, or buy the wonderful book – both perfect additions to your crafty shelves – head to the LookAtWhatIMade shop*.
Have fun in 2017 with these lovely CALs! And as always, Happy Crafting!

PITTSBURGH (June 21, 2007) Kiran Bhat, MD, general pediatrician with Children's Community Pediatrics Armstrong, has been invited to present at the prestigious American Academy of Pediatrics Future of Pediatrics Conference: Community Pediatrics, Medical Home and Beyond June 29 July 1 in Orlando, Fla. Dr. Bhat will discuss the newly launched Armstrong County school-based project aimed at reducing and preventing childhood obesity and its related health risks.
The project, known as HEAL (Healthy Eating, Active Lifestyles) Armstrong, is a collaboration of UPMC Health Plan, Children's Community Pediatrics Armstrong, ACMH Hospital (Armstrong Center for Medicine and Health), ACMH Hospital Foundation, and the Armstrong School District. The initiative aims to reduce childhood obesity in the county by educating children and families about healthy lifestyles through in-school, after-school, and community programs.
"The rise of childhood obesity is a significant concern for all of us who are focused on improving the health of our community, says UPMC Health Plan President Diane Holder. We are pleased that Dr. Bhat can share this project with a national audience. This effort illustrates how an innovative public health approach can begin to address the root causes of this problem and establish a sense of pride in the health of its children."
An estimated 35% of children in the Armstrong School District about 2,170 students have a body mass index or BMI showing that they are heavier than 85% of children of their age and gender nationally, according to the first survey of the students conducted last year. Since planning for the program began more than two years ago, the school district has changed its menu to offer healthier foods and has eliminated soft drinks from vending machines in the schools. Most schools in the district now have in-school wellness programs and after-school programs in development.
Last year, UPMC Health Plan awarded a $50,000 grant to HEAL Armstrong to support this program, which incorporates the National Institutes for Health's We Can! program, an easy-to-use wellness program for parents and teachers. The American Academy of Pediatrics also awarded a Community Access To Child Health (CATCH) Implementation grant for a pilot of the project, which is now underway at Elderton Elementary School. The ACMH Hospital Foundation has contributed more than $20,000 since 2005.
I'm looking forward to sharing the details of our program with a broader audience, said Dr. Bhat. Although we don't expect to see results until three or four years from now, I do think there is already a positive shift toward a healthier lifestyle in Armstrong County.

Speak up for Gender Equality!
I challenge sexist hate speech and speak up for gender equality. I support the No Hate Speech Movement #nohatespeech
3月 08 at 9:00午前 CETに他のサポーターとともにあなたのページに投稿します。
No Hate Speech Movement
by No Hate Speech Movement category: Cause
Today the International Day for Women's Rights is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating progress towards the realisation of women's rights and gender equality. Sexist hate speech builds on narratives reaffirming gender stereotypes which justify gender discrimination and sexism, so the No Hate Speech Movement calls on young people to counter sexist hate speech through education and advocacy, raising awareness on the impact it has on women and men, human rights and gender equality.
No Hate Speech Movement
The Movement is initiated and run by the Council of Europe but it is based on national campaigns run in the member states of the Council of Europe. The campaign is against the expressions of hate speech online in all its forms, including those that most affect young people, such as forms of cyber-bullying and cyber-hate. The campaign is based upon human rights education, youth participation and media literacy. It aims at reducing hate speech and at combating racism and discrimination in their online expression. The campaign is not run to limit freedom of expression online. Neither is it against hatred online and nor about being nice to each other online.

Save the turtles BVI is 100% build with the little green friends in mind. I run a glass bottom boat in the BVI and make money off the ocean by do that. I have taken up a new adventure in Saving the beautiful turtles in the BVI (British Virgin Islands) and putting some of that same money back into the ocean. My goal is the golden pries is ending turtle season here in the BVI once & for all.
You the tourist who visit the Caribbean can help us by just not buying any products that was made from turtles. Locals catch turtles for the meat "but" most time to make craft from them that they will sell to you as a tourist.
The shell are vanish and very temping to buy, but think about the long term, for soon they will be no turtles left for the fisherman to catch or for any craft for you to buy.
Look at the long term picture, after all the shell dose look better on a living turtle than on a wall at your house.
Stand up and make a stand. Write to our BVI government and ask them to stop the hunting of Sea Turtles.

Greenbelt, Maryland – Former U.S. Postal Service employee Lamonica Henderson, age 42, of Oxon Hill, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to misappropriation of postal funds in connection with a scheme to issue and convert to her own use over $78,000 in Postal Service money orders.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Joanne Yarbrough of the U.S. Postal Service, Office of Inspector General.
According to Postal Service OIG Special Agent in Charge Joanne Yarbrough, "Theft of postal funds is a serious crime. Most postal employees would never think of taking a dime from the Postal Service. But when an individual steals money from the Postal Service, OIG Special Agents work quickly to bring an end to the criminal activity. I appreciate the work and partnership of the United States Attorney's office with these investigations.â€
According to Henderson's plea agreement, from September 2007 through May 2009, Henderson was employed as a Sales and Service Associate at the Lanham-Seabrook Post Office in Prince George's County and had authority to issue money orders for legitimate Postal Service business. During the course of her employment with the Postal Service, Henderson fraudulently issued "no-fee†Postal Service money orders payable to herself, family members, companies who provided benefits to her, and other fictitious payees, that she converted for her own personal use, totaling at least $78,413.44. Henderson used the money to pay her bills, including her rent, or for cash and often issued money orders in the names of family members or other associates to conceal the fraud.
Henderson faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Roger W. Titus, has scheduled sentencing for September 27, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the U.S. Postal Service, Office of Inspector General for its work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Christen A. Sproule, who is prosecuting the case.

HDTV Magazine is the website for those who love HDTV. Our roots go back to 1984, when Dale Cripps founded The HDTV Newsletter, a dedicated professional publication distributed into 24 countries to those developing HDTV. On November 16, 1998, The HDTV Newsletter became the first online publication dedicated to HDTV -- HDTV Magazine. And on March 1st, 2005, HDTV Magazine was re-launched as HDTV Magazine, Ltd., a Partnership formed between Dale Cripps (Founder) and Shane Sturgeon (Chief Technologist). Our mission has remained consistent throughout:
HDTV is the image for the 21st Century. With little argument it is the most influential force on earth today. Nothing from technology to culture will be left untouched by its coming. Those who own and enjoy it are the quickest to agree with this view.
We are proud of our role in bringing you HDTV knowledge, but there is still much more to be done. With so much new technology approaching so fast, confusion has set in. That confusion, while understandable, is hurting us (and even hurting our national security). We simply must put an end to its destructive stay if we are to hasten this transition and spread the benefits still faster. We believe that good old fashioned authority does more to combat confusion than anything else can. The mountaintop is where the wise man sits to tells us the meaning of life and likewise we must go to authority if knowledge is what we seek.
Those now writing for HDTV Magazine come from the ranks of pioneers and executives who are responsible for bringing HDTV to life. I have asked these authoritative contributors to give you their HDTV story as "Letters to America." My advice to them is to "let the public know what is coming and how to use it."Our present list of HDTV Authorities includes:
Ken Werner, HDTV Expert
Ryan Gibbs,
Pete Putman, HDTV Expert
Alfred Poor, HDTV Professor

The Toyota Corolla has been hailed as one of the best selling sedans in America. Thanks to great looks, the high level of quality that follows all vehicles built under the Toyota name, are also of superior reliability and safety. The Japanese automaker first unveiled the Corolla way back in the 1969 model year, and has provided consumers with a finely crafted, cost-effective vehicle in the many decades since its inception. Now in its ninth generation, the auto has received numerous updates to accommodate the needs of a rapidly changing, technologically advanced society, retaining its popularity and appeal in the process. Each generation of the Toyota Corolla can aid in defining a generation of American history in itself.
Car Shipping Estimates Calculator For The Toyota Corolla
Originally, the Corolla came packaged in coke bottle design, with a choice of sedan, coupe or wagon styles, and later added a wagon and van version in the second and third generations. Minor enhancements were made and features added throughout the 1970's model years. In addition, the Corolla was recognized as one of the best selling cars in the world in 1970. The Corolla continued to build a solid reputation and growing popularity with consumers during the remainder of the 1970's and 1980's. The 1993 model year premiered a completely refashioned Toyota Corolla, with a more attractive exterior and new front grille design, interior improvements and the addition of an LE trim, which included more standard equipment when compared with the others, including air conditioning and power window and door locks. The older Corolla models were a bit heavier, so us the car shipping estimates calculator to determine your rate.

The next major makeover occurred in 1998, when three new trims were released, the VE, LE, and CE. A five speed automatic transmission was standard in all, with an alternative four speed automatic offered in the CE and LE. These trims also included tilt steering, air conditioning and a cassette player as standard features, and the LE also offered power window and door locks as part of its base package. Optional equipment in all three trims included a sun roof, compact disc player and cruise control for an additional contemporary convenience. The 2001 model year introduced the first Toyota to include a trunk release from the inside, and the debut of an ultra trendy, brand new S trim style. Direct Express Auto Transport has great success shipping that model and year.
The New Generation of Corolla
The next generation for the Corolla occurred for 2003. In this year, the auto received a total redesigned look. Additionally, an AM/FM stereo with compact disc became part of the standard equipment in this year. Following the Corolla's 35th anniversary year, 2005 saw several more exterior upgrades, and the introduction of a sporty XRS version, ideal for the youthful group of drivers. Driver, passenger, and side airbags are among standard safety equipment, and antilock brakes are available as optional features in all trim styles. Since 2003, the Corolla has earned a five star frontal crash test safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Toyota Corolla has been a consistent top seller in the United States and abroad, with an infamous global presence and the ability to offer outstanding reliability and excellent gas mileage and a roomy, comfortable interior in a compact four door sedan that fits within the means of the vast majority of consumers.

Garden and Grove is a pioneering study of the English fascination with Italian Renaissance gardens. John Dixon Hunt studies reactions of English visitors in their journals and travel books to the exciting world of Italian gardens: its links with classical villas, with Virgil and farming, with Ovid and metamorphosis, its association with theater, its variety, its staged debates between art and nature. Then he looks at what English visitors made of these Italian garden experiences upon their return home and at how they created Italianate gardens on their estates, on their stages, and in their poems. With a wealth of literary and visual materials previously untapped, Hunt provides a new history of an intriguing and vital phase of English garden history. Not only does he suggest the centrality of the garden as a focus for many social, aesthetic, political, and philosophical ideas but he argues that the so-called English landscape garden before qCapabilityq Brown, in the late eighteenth century, owed much to a long and continuing emulation of Italian Renaissance models.Garden and Grove is a pioneering study of the English fascination with Italian Renaissance gardens.

This fall as parents fill their shopping carts with new backpacks, school supplies, and snacks for back-to-school at Wal-Mart, they'll also have the opportunity to get a free book from Scholastic Book Clubs! Select specially-marked Kellogg's products, including Raisin Bran®, Mini-Wheats® Little Bites Original, Nutri-Grain®, Eggo®, Pop-Tarts®, Cheez-it®, and Rice Krispies Treats®, which are available now exclusively at Wal-Mart. Parents who buy two of these products can redeem the codes found inside for a free $5 coupon for a free book from Scholastic Book Clubs or the Scholastic Store Online.
Evan recently started doing "mini munchers" and staying for lunch at preschool a few days each week. As a mom who now packs lunch, those individual packages of Cheez-Its have come in handy! Since I am pregnant, I have to make sure I get some sort of breakfast as I'm running out the door and the Nutri-Grain bars have been perfect. We have been reading the Pirates Go To School and Let It Fall books to the kids at bedtime and the Let It Fall book has encouraged us to talk more about the Fall Season. I look forward purchasing Kellogg's products and redeeming the codes inside towards books to add to our collection.

Dr. benjamin reese, lnc class vi
Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer, Office for Institutional Equity
Duke University/Duke University Health System
"Since 2003, I've been serving as the Vice President of the Office for Institutional Equity and Chief Diversity Officer for Duke University and Duke University Health System. In addition to my broad administrative responsibilities, I have appointments in the departments of Community & Family Medicine and Psychology and Neuroscience. Last year, I finished two 2-year terms as president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE). It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with chief diversity officers from colleges and universities across our nation. Given my specialization in implicit bias education and training, I've had the opportunity to not only provide education to Duke staff and faculty, but to visit higher education institutions, corporations and hospitals across the country.
I frequently reflect on my participation as a member of Class VI and Program Chair the next year. I can't think of another experience that has given me more of a sense of the major institutions across our State. Seems like just yesterday when I found myself in a supermarket, struggling to purchase enough food for "my family of five," and then a couple months later, viewing the impact of acid rain on the trees that cover many of our mountains. Special memories…impactful experiences."

NPA Good Stewarship Project Awarded 2nd Grant — Call for Demonstration Projects
Posted by Becky Martin, NPA Advocacy Director September 12, 2011 at 11:13 AM
The American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation has awarded a second grant to the NPA to carry on its Good Stewardship project. The first phase of the project, funded by a grant from the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation, enabled the NPA to develop a "Top 5″ list of evidence-based, quality-improving, resource-sparing activities that could be incorporated into the routine practice of primary care providers in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics.
The second phase of the project will provide proof of concept by actually implementing the "Top 5" recommendations in actual practice.
The NPA is looking to recruit primary care practices as demonstration sites for the second phase of the "Good Stewardship" project.
Primary care practices selected to be demonstration sites will put the "Top 5" lists into practice and become showcases for other practices to emulate. Practices must agree to participate in training sessions to acquire the appropriate set of communication skills. Practices must have in place clinical record-keeping systems, such as electronic health records, that would enable the project staff to evaluate pre- and post-intervention clinical decision-making in those clinical encounters. Selected practices will receive $1,000 to defray the costs of on-site data collection and reporting.
Contact Dr. Steve Smith at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in having your practice established as a demonstration site.

Audrina's New Reality Show Looks Predictable and Depressing
How is this show not called 'The Patridge Family'?
The trailer for Audrina Patridge's new reality show, Audrina, is here, and along with the generic speakerphone fights with her boyfriend and glitzy images from nightclubs and such, there's a weird, dark undercurrent. Audrina and her siblings apparently have some serious issues with their parents. Yikes? Well, you know what they say, the best way to solve problems is to televise them.


text: I have a GBAMP+Max Media Launcher, and I want to know if there is any GBC emulator for the DS that I could run. I know about the Goomba Color, it works fine with small ROMs, but with bigger ones it chokes and stutters and drags along like a wounded turtle, making the games unplayable. Help. Thanks.
