Treating Back Pain Non-Surgically
For a patient with back pain, simple activities like sitting, standing and walking can be difficult. Back pain symptoms can range in intensity from a slight "tight feeling" in the back to severe back and/or leg pain. Physical therapy offers many treatment options for patients with back pain. When pain levels are high, patients can be apprehensive about physical therapy and exercise, but a physical therapist can develop a plan to help patients overcome that apprehension.
Many of my patients are surprised to learn that small modifications to their normal patterns of movement can quickly reduce their symptoms. A therapist will work one-on-on with the patient and offer suggestions of how to sit and stand in ways that will decrease the pain. The also will consider exercises to help to reduce pain. Each patient is different and there isn't one exercise or position that will work for all types of back pain. A skilled therapist, along with a motivated patient, can develop a game plan for attacking the back pain.
In addition to posture training and exercises, there are other tools a therapist can use to decrease symptoms. Sometimes pain will lessen with the application of ice or moist heat. A therapist may recommend TENS, or electrical stimulation. These treatments help to stimulate nerves to help block the pain stimulus. Ultrasound may be selected to aid in tissue healing. Soft tissue mobilizations and manipulations are another treatment option.
Whatever treatment is recommended, the goal of physical therapy is to reduce the symptoms and restore patients to their previous level of function. Back pain can be a complex and debilitating problem. A physical therapist can help guide a patient through it and avoid surgery.

Vol. XXI No. 7
BETHEL INSTITUTE (St. Paul, Minn.)
Dec. 18, 1941
Sem Students
Go to Chicago
by Ray Applequist
Twenty one seminary students
returned Monday from a four day
seminar held at the Northern
Theological Seminary in Chicago.
Ministerial students from several
schools met for this interesting
session held every other year for
the purpose of acquainting our fu-ture
pastors and missionaries with
the work and organization of the
Northern Baptist Convention.
The whole four days proved
themselves profitable. Even our
critically minded Bethelites agreed
to this as they have repeatedly
commented on the helpful talks
and messages given by the out-standing
Foremost among these messages
was a series of five messages given
by Dr. Dana of Kansas City who
offered "The five most important
words in the Christian's vocabu-lary";
these being; consecration,
power, faith prayer and surrender.
Other speakers were Dr. Luther
Wesley Smith, who also led the
seminar and Joe Smith, a mission-ary
from the agricultural school in
After driving down on Wednes-day
our boys stayed in hotels,
among them a place by a name
strangely similar to "Alcatraz" al-though
all agreed that the service
they received there in no way re-sembled
that institution! All dele-gates
have their leaders and our
group did not lack in this for Harry
Abrahamson informally assumed
this position and led the fellows in
some rollicking good "fellowship".
Following the close of the semi-nar
on Saturday our future pastors
were taken in by some fourteen
Swedish Baptist churches of the
Chicago area and on Sunday the
pulpits were opened to them, and
the students were allowed to
preach and hence to offer to the
audience a glimpse of what mater-ial
our conference has for the fu-ture.
A sincere word of gratitude
goes to these churches for their
kindness in this line.
Bethelites who attended the long
to be remembered conference
were: Glenn Anderson, Ray John-son,
Dallas West, Rodger Rendal,
Ray Applequist, Arden Finke, Wil-
(Continued on page 3)
Dr. Lagergren Honored
Memorial services for the late
Dr. Carl G. Lagergren, retired dean
of the Bethel Seminary, were held
by students, faculty, and friends of
Bethel on the tenth of December.
Presiding over the meeting was
Dr. G. Arvid Hagstrom. Dr. Karl-son,
dean of the Seminary, led
devotions. An address was given
by President Wingblade. Students
taking part were: Melvin and Syd-ney
Wyma, Dorothy Nelson, and
Nancy Zimmerman.
At Convocation, December 9,
Mrs. McCullah of Hamline Univer-sity
told of the development of
Madonna Paintings.
There are five main types of
paintings of the baby Jesus; the
enunciation, the nativity, those of
the carpenter shop in Nazareth,
the flight, and the Madonnas. In
religious art there is much sym-bolism.
Perhaps the two most
commonly used symbols are the
dawn representing the rise of a
new age in, world history and the po-megranate,
the symbol of fertility.
Raphael has perhaps painted
more Madonnas than any other
artist. In one year alone he
painted over one hundred. There
is an interesting story about his
"Madonna of the Chair".
Father Bernardo was in need of
a new place in which to live, so a
peasant girl named Mary helped
him build a but under a mighty
oak. Father Bernardo said when
he died that the oak and Mary
would never die because of their
kindness to him.
Years later the oak was cut
down and made into barrels, and
Mary was married and had several
children. One day Raphael visited
her home and was so impressed by
her appearance that he painted the
"Madonna of the Chair", as the
Jibe laSorn in 1941
It is thought that perhaps a
playground for children would be
much in order at Bethel. There
are five in our midst who will in
a few months, more or less, have
arrived at the mature age of a
year, and according to Dean Karl-son's
psychology lectures, will be
enabled to handle blocks and mar-bles
quite adeptly.
The discovery of these Bethel
infants was made last week when
Miss Larson, in checking the files
for draft eligibles, discovered five
who had made their debut in 1941.
Any student or faculty member
who espies any one of the infants
having trouble with his spinach, or
one who has taken a spill when the
distance between chairs has pro-ven
too great for the pattering,
unsteady "footsies," is asked to
give any aid possible.
Those to whom you are asked
to render aid are: Robert Hails,
Howard Jenson, Stanley King,
Lloyd Mattson, and Rodger Ren-dahl.

Canvass For Pledges
Sunday, December 7, a gospel
team representing the Boarding
Club held services morning, after-noon,
and evening at Fergus Falls.
Elving Anderson and Ethel Teder-man
were the speakers. Next Sun-day,
December 14, will be the first
week-end that the Boarding Club
has not held services in some part
of Minnesota or Wisconsin.
Every week, two or three meet-ings
are held by the gospel teams
of the school within the Twin
Cities. The Religious Council,
which sponsors their work, is now
making a person-to-person canvas
of students and friends of the
school for pledges and offerings to
further the work of spreading the
The Christ of Christmas
These days there comes to our minds and hearts once more a
sanctifying calm as we together think about that "Night of nights,
so pure, so holy, mother of a happy Christmas morn", when that
"sweet peace hung o'er a village lowly where our Savior, Jesus
Christ, was born". And then we are startled from our sweet re-verie
by the rude shock that the world is on fire, and burning near
our very shores.
Has the Christ child failed in His mission? No, He has not
failed. Has the power of the Gospel suffered loss? No, The
power of the Christian message and of the redemptive program is
still able to conquer all the gates of hell. What and where, then,
is the fault?
The failure lies in that the Gospel of the Christ of Christmas
has had no chance in th'e heart of teeming millions. They have
not heeded the call; they have not trusted in the message; they
have not followed the leading; they have not obeyed the command.
Christ will not fail. The battle is not done. He has His
faithful remnant; He will work out His purpose. There is a deep
stream flowing—irresistibly. His will be the victory. His glory
will yet flood the earth. Every knee shall bow and every tongue
shall confess. His "all power is given unto me in heaven and on
earth" has not been revoked. He is able.
What about us? Are we in the inner circle? Have we heard
. the MaSter's call? Are we a part of the victorious host? Have we
yielded all? If we put our faith in Him, and yield to His obedience
—our future will be sure—rooted in the faithfulness and in the
omnipotent power of an Eternal Christ.
"He cannot fail, for He is God;
He cannot fail; He has pledged His word;
He cannot fail, He'll see us through;
'Tis God with whom we have to do."
And so this Christmas we see not all things laid under His
feet, but we see Jesus. We have a captain who has never lost a
battle. He does not blunder. Let us lift up our heads for our
redemption draweth nigh.
A Merry Christmas to all the Bethel family.

The first inspirational slogan of
the war has been flashed back by
our sea forces in the Pacific. The
cryptic, typically American mes-sage
was, "K. 0. Tokyo."
A week ago last Sunday, Japan
in launching an attack against pos-sessions
of a nation with whom she
was negotiating, broke all rules of
nobleness oblige, and with that
treacherous stroke forfeited all
rights of quarter and honorable

They Do Their Part,
Do You?
by Roger Youngquist
Perhaps there have been more
outside attractions during this
school year than last, or perhaps
this year's students are more stu-dious
than last year's, but there is
a definite decline in the interest of
the student body in extra programs
and activities sponsored by var-ious
organizations of the school.
Some may raise the objection
that the programs are not as inter-esting
as they could be. This could
be affirmed or denied, without a
doubt, by various ones according
to their individual tastes, but the
same conclusion would be reached
in every argument, and that is that
with student support, much more
interesting programs and activities
would be possible.
Several programs have been pre-sented
in the school during this
semester, all of them worthwhile
entertainment, but at none of them
has a unanimous student response
been seen. This is true of class
activities as well as all-school
The most surprising develop-ment
of the year to the faculty, se-minary,
and sophomores is the
resurrection of the College Club,
which has already put on two fine
programs, will take charge of the
program for the Christmas party
today, and has laid plans for sev-eral
programs next semester.
In the seminary, the Alexis socie-ty
has been busy, and the Religious
Council as well, with several
splendid presentations designed to
be informative as well as enter-taining.
Leaders and committee men of
these organizations have been dis-satisfied
with the attendance and
response manifested by the stu

activities can be sure of a one hun-dred

student body.
After Christmas vacation and its
excitement is past you students
will return with a new apprecia-tion
of Bethel and her principles,
and this interest should furnish the
stimulus to patronize the activities
afforded them by their fellow-stu-dents.
Japan as a power, even today, is
being slighted. She is a smaller
nation than the United States, she
is poorer, she is weaker. But she
is desperate. It is a case of winner
take all. For Japan it is a case of
win or die fighting...and the Jap-anese
are not afraid to die.
Fibber McGee and Molly hit this
situation squarely, when on their
program recently they pulled this
gag: The town mayor was in a
department store to purchase a
globe. The clerk asked, "Do you
want a globe that has Japan on it?
If you do you'd better buy now!"
in a white binding, and entitled
"The Comrade in White." It is
the story of a private clad in a
white uniform who appeared to
soldiers in the European trenches
in 1918. The figure was without
doubt the result of a fevered brain,
and yet, I fully believe that Christ
ministered to those who called up-on
Him in the trenches.
But, "My God is still on the
throne,"—now as He was in 1918.
Call on the Comrade in White
when you need Him, as you often
will in the fury of hate that is al-ready
coming. Keep your Chris-tian
perspective, and fight because
you must, and not because you
find a gun in your hand and your
mind red with hate.

Original by Charles Dickens
A Modern Version of "A Christmas Carol"
Revised by Gordon Johnson
As the people hurried along the
snow-covered streets, many could
be seen stepping aside to permit
Squires to continue his determined
course toward his banking office.
He tightly gripped a large ledger-book
in his hand and had a pierc-ing
look in his eye that caused
people to shudder as he ap-proached.
On entering his bank-ing
house, he said in harsh tones
to his bookkeeper, "There is no
need for all of these lights burn-ing."
Somewhat satisfied with this
cutting remark, Squires went to
the inner office, soon to be fol-lowed
by his nephew.
"Merry Christmas, Uncle!" cried
a cheerful voice. "Bah," said
Squires. "Humbug!"
"Christmas a humbug, Uncle!
You don't mean that, I am sure."
"I do." said Squires. "Merry
Christmas! What right have you
to be merry? You're poor enough."
"Come then." returned the nep-hew,
gayly. "What right have you
to be dismal. You're rich enough."
With no better answer, Squires
repeated the characteristic, "Bah,
"Don't be cross, Uncle, we want
you to dine with us tomorrow."
"We'll see," said Squires. "Good
"A Merry Christmas to you,
"Good afternoon!"
"And a Happy New Year!" said
the nephew.
"Good • afternoon." repeated
It wasn't many minutes before
two neat and kindly looking gentle-men
entered the banking house.
"Mr. Squires I believe," said the
one gentleman.
"That's right," was the terse
"Because of your generosity, we
approach you for your contribution
for the poor at this holiday sea-son."
"Are the prisons, poor houses, or-phanages,
and work houses still
open?" inquired Squires.
"Yes, but we would like to be of
some help to those who are not in
these places." answered one of the
"I am compelled to help sup-port
these other institutions; that
is enough. Good day, gentlemen."
After the two had gone out of
the door, Squires turned to Bob,
his bookkeeper, and said, "You
want the day off tomorrow, I ex-pect."
"Well,—it only comes once a
"You expect me to pay you for
one holiday every year, It is not
going to happen this year; you be
here early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir," said Bob feebly.
Evening came. Squires turned
out the one dim light over the
bookkeeper's dingy desk, locked
the safe, and securely latched the
front door. In his room he sat and
pondered the business of the day
and past year as he intently looked
over the ledger book. War had
increased business and profit with-out
much increase in overhead. It
had not been necessary to raise
the salary of his bookkeeper, for
he was getting eighteen dollars a
week which was enough for him
and his family to get along on.
Just then the form of an old
business associate who had been
dead for seven years appeared in
the room. He beckoned Squires to
follow him. In a few moments
they were in that neighborhood in
which Squires had gotten his start
in life. There before them was the
old mill where he had had his first
job. He recalled the first Christ-mas
that he had worked for kindly
old Mr. Jones and how he had given
each employee a five dollar bill
and had told 'him to have a happy
holiday. The Ghost then took him
to a small home where his nephew
was on the floor playing with the
children. His wife was setting the
table with a lot of good things
for the Christmas feast. Then the
door opened and in came one after
another of the neighbors and even
two of the children from the orph-anage.
All began having a merry
time singing and playing games.
"One more place." were the first
words that the Ghost had spoken.
In Bob's home little Tim seemed
to be the center of all the gayety
of the season, though it was a
rather poor dwelling place. All
were very happy as they began
sitting around the table that was
laden with a well cooked goose.

Squires pleaded for his old busi-ness
associate to remain a bit lon-ger.
"That is impossible," was the
brief reply as he vanished out of
the door.
The old clock above the Church
began to toll its usual seven
o'clock vigil. Squires jumped up
with a start and ran to the window.
It was a bright morning. He
shouted a Merry Christmas to the
small boy that was running by and
asked him to go down to the
butcher shop and have them send
their largest turkey to Bob's home.
He then hurriedly got dressed and
went down to his office walking
with a light spirit and cheerily
greeting everyone that he passed.
Just ahead of him was the man
that had approached him in his
office yesterday.
Slipping up besides him, he said,
"Without a doubt you remember
me from yesterday. A yesterday
which wasn't too pleasant. But
take this."
"Mr. Squires, is this right—why,
it is too much." said the gentleman.
"No, not at all. And A Merry
Christmas," replied Mr. Squires as
he hurried off.
At the office as Bob entered, he
said in his usual tone, "You are
eighteen minutes late."
"Yes, —but it's--just once a year,
—and last night—" Bob stammered
until interrupted.
"Come back here, Bob," said
Squires. "I am going to raise your
salary. You may go now, Bob, and
a Merry Christmas to you."
In a short while Squires was
knocking at his nephew's door.
"May I come in to dinner, Fred?"
"Certainly," said his nephew in a
jubilant tone.
After all the merriment of the
day, Squires cried, "I don't know
what to do!" He was laughing
and crying in the same breath.
"I am as light as a feather, I am as
happy as an angel, I am as merry
as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as
a drunken man. A Merry Christ-mas
to everyone! A Happy New
Year year to all the world. Hello
Here! Whoop! Hello!"
War on America by Disease
Treacherous as Axis Warfare
Is Health Association Warning
That youth will be hard hit in
the trying days ahead, not only on
the firing line, but as war increa-singly
unleashes the disease men-ace
of influenza and tuberculosis,
is the warning of the Ramsey
County Public Health association.
Prediction of a severe influenza
epidemic this winter had been
made by leading
physicians before
involvement of CHRISTMAS
this country in SEALS
the war had
come. Now with
the war putting
strains and bur-dens
on everyone
to an extent be-yond
conception, the
Christmas Seal
point out that
the age-group hardest hit in the
national defense program is also
the age-group in which tuberculo-sis
is the chief killer. It is the
group the country needs most for
its security and survival. Public
health association draws attention
to the increasing tempo of indus-try,
as cited by the President of the
United 'States as a necessity.
"That means it will be as impor-tant
to curb tuberculosis among
the workers in industry, during
this war, as is will be to keep tu-berculosis
out of our armed forces,
during this world crisis." Ira C.
Oehler, chairman of the local
Christmas Seal committee said, fol-lowing
the Dec. 9, radio broadcast
of the President.
Appealing to patriotic impulses,
Mr. Oehler urges, "Buy Christmas
Seals, this year!"

Play-off Game
Nets Victory
Swanson Hi-points;
"B" Features Fast Game
Northwestern was beaten by
Bethel last week in the play-off
game of the season, the score be-ing
55-31. The game was played
on Bethel's court. Frank Noyes
The game was a wide open, fast
breaking affair with frequent sub-stitutions
being made. Nyman,
Halvorson, Swanson, Lawrence
and Gene Johnson led off for the
Indians. Twelve players were
used during the four quarters.
Bethel came in fast and scored
four field goals during the first
few minutes of play. The pace
slowed somewhat thereafter and
both teams played good offensive
and defensive games until the half
when the score was 25-13.
After the half Bethel again took
the floor in some fast plays and
gained such .a decisive lead that
it was maintained during the en-tire
moment of play. Halvorson
went out on fouls early in the
second half and Anderson, sent in
in his stead, revealed some skillful
High score honors were taken by
Shine Swanson; Gene Johnson fol
lowed, a close second, with 14
points to Swanson's 16. Cravens
led Northwestern scoring with a
total of seven points.

Humming wheels provided much
suspense, thrills, and fear last Fri-day
when the Freshman-Sopho-more

the game by the comfortable score

Those playing for the victors
were: Willis Wessman, Dick

and Elwood Anderson. Dick
Braun worked up an enthusiastic

five free-throws while kneeling.
Something psychic about his posi-tion

Indians piled up a total score of
38-15. Glen Swanson again proved
high-point man with a count of
twenty two points.
The team's backboard play wasn't
especially commendable, and in
fact the whole game was played
rather erratically. Gene Johnson
went out on personals early in the
second half.
However the team showed up
rather well against the greater

contrast to the clumsy ball-hand-ling
of the "Aggies". appeared to
give a rather smooth and polished
exhibition. Nor did the home team
tire as easily as expected on the

I love everything about eggs. Their golden yolks that nurture with fat and flavor, their silky whites that transform into luscious meringues, their fragile shells in pale blues and greens, tans and browns. I love the way the shells crumble into a million pieces, how they look sitting up tall and proud in an egg cup, or poached and perched, yolks oozing over a frisee salad. But in our big world of bold colors and flavors, the egg is still a fairly humble ingredient.
So at Easter time, I always find it remarkable how magnificent they can look painted. These painted eggs got their beauty in the patient and talented hands of my friend George McKirdy, owner and pastry chef of Astor Bake Shop, our favorite neighborhood haunt. Years ago I worked for George in the pastry kitchen of Café Boulud, and was thrilled when he turned up again down the street behind the big, open windows on the corner.
I've learned so many things from George {how to make the world's best coconut macaroon, to forever love the combination of passion fruit and chocolate, and that a financier never, ever goes out of vogue} but in a sense this is my favorite ~ that with a little tender care, the humble, everyday egg can become something spectacular, something that glimmers with alarming beauty.
That is the message of Easter. That something bare and unadorned ~ an egg, a life, a soul ~ can be transformed by the gifts of patience, grace, and love.
To make your own painted eggs, mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle and lightly spritz the egg shell all over. Use a thin paint brush dipped in water to apply food safe paint powders and glitter at your whim and whimsy.

YORK, PA – The York College women's basketball team saw their school-record 11-game season opening win streak come to an end as the Green and White dropped a 61-51 non-conference decision to Richard Stockton on Saturday in York.
The Spartans, playing without the services of leading scorer and rebounder Brittany Hicks (Dover, Pa./York Catholic), fall to 11-1 overall. The Ospreys improve to 6-3 for the campaign.
York entered the contest ranked 11th in both the USA Today Sports Coaches Poll and the D3hoops.com Poll.
The Spartans got off to a quick start, seizing an 11-4 lead just over five minutes into the game. The Osprey found their legs and tied the game at 13 after a 9-2 run that covered just under three minutes. A layup from Kristen Haley (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Visitation) and a three from Kelsey Murphy (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) pushed the York lead back to five at 18-13.
Richard Stockton kept plugging away as they hit York with an 11-2 spurt, giving the Osprey at 26-23 lead. York scored six of the final nine points of the half as the squads headed to the break tied at 29.
The opening nine minutes of the second half was as back-and-forth as a game could get. There were three ties and four lead changes before Sara Farrell hit a bucket to put the Osprey up 45-44 with 8:49 left in the game. Farrell's basket came in the early stages of a 9-1 run that gave Stockton control of the game. The Spartans got to within five on a Haley lay up at the seven minute mark but they would get no closer. Stockton built the lead to 11 before settling for the 10-point victory.
Farrell led the Osprey with a game-high 16 points while she also had nine rebounds and three blocked shots. Farrell was an efficient 7-of-10 from the field including 1-for-1 from three and 1-for-1 from the stripe. Che'Na Thompson added 15 points and six rebounds for Stockton. Tianna Cannon, playing her second game for Stockton after transferring in at semester break, added nine points and 11 rebounds for the Osprey.
Haley paced the Spartans with 14 points and five rebounds. Murphy and Aja Wallpher (Ellicott City, Md./Seton Keough) each contributed 12 points and four rebounds. Wallpher also had four assists and five steals in her 40 minutes of action.
The story in the second half was the Ospreys' shooting percentage as Stockton converted 56.5% of their chances in the second 20 minutes of play. Conversely, the Spartans went an ice-cold 9-for-30 (30%) during the decisive second half.
Overall, Stockton shot 41.4% from the field while they made 3-of-13 (23.1%) from three. The Osprey connected on 10-of-17 (58.8%) from the line.
York finished the day at 35.6% including just 3-for-16 (18.8%) from three. York was a dismal 6-for-14 from the line.
The Osprey hammered York on the boards as they held a sizable 46-35 edge. Included in that total of 46 boards were 14 offensive rebounds for Stockton.
The Spartans don't have much time to bounce back as they welcome #20 Catholic University to Wolf Gymnasium on Monday night. Tip time is set for 6:00 pm.

iPhone tethering app uses HTML5 to defeat Apple's censors
Pushing web language to the limit
A Wi-Fi tethering application for the iPhone has managed to bypass Apple's restrictions on such apps by doing the whole thing in HTML5 - and charging for it too.
Tether did pop up in the Apple store briefly; it was available for about 20 minutes before Cupertino spotted the app was allowing iPhone users to share their mobile data connections over Wi-Fi, a breach of many operator contracts. But now the author has managed to bodge the functionality into HTML5, making Apple's store redundant and its restrictions irrelevant.
Network operators often charge extra for "tethering" - that is, connecting a laptop to the internet through a mobile phone. The increasingly spurious logic is that a laptop can consume more bandwidth than a mobile phone and therefore operators charge more to connect them up. Apple disables the feature on the iPhone at operator request, and third-party apps which make it work aren't allowed in the app store.
In the UK tethering is controlled by accusing anyone who uses lots of data of tethering in breach of the T&Cs. Some sort of packet inspection could be used, but where the iPhone is set up to prevent tethering then Tether can make it happen, at least until the network operator notices.
Tether isn't the first application to use HTML5 to bypass Apple's control. Back in 2010 XPornApp turned to HTML when Apple purged its store of unbranded adult content, but leaving the walled iTunes garden removed the billing mechanism and XPornApp's new business model of handing out free pornography turned out to be unsustainable.
No such problems for Amazon, which has a billing system to rival Apple's and happily took its own Kindle app into the world of HTML5 when Apple started asking for 30 per cent of every sale.
But getting tethering to work is pushing HTML5 to its limits, well beyond what one might expect a website to be able to do. The system seems to work by using the iPhone as a proxy server, so one sets up an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network and runs special desktop software to direct HTTP traffic to the iPhone. The HTML5 page loaded onto the iPhone pushes the traffic on and returns the result, creating tethering without having to get approval from Apple, or the network operator.
There's a video showing websites and video streaming working perfectly, and the problems being reported by users stem from the complexity of setting up an ad-hoc network rather than any failure of the application itself, but to test it yourself you'll have to cough up $15 for a year's use (rising to $30 annually thereafter).
HTML5 does enable all sorts of applications to exist outside a manufacturer's limits; this isn't supposed to matter as HTML5 apps don't have access to local files or hardware components such as the camera or microphone, so security isn't an issue. App stores still provide an easy way to collect revenue in exchange for a slice of that cash and submission to the store's control - both of these conditions are now driving developers out in roughly-equal proportion. ®

25 Gallons of Milk
Date of Joke: Tuesday, 17th June, 2008
A blonde heard that milk baths would make her beautiful. She left a
note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk.
When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake. He
thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons. So he knocked on the door to
clarify the point. The blonde came to the door and the milkman said,
"I found your note asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean
2.5 gallons?"

Company Markets Beer Specifically For You To Waste Playing Beer Pong
Because it's just so difficult for college students to go out and find super cheap beer to slosh into cups while chucking ping pong balls into said cups and then guzzling, one company has gone ahead and created Pong, the beer specifically made for playing Beer Pong. And it's lite!
For those not in the know, the youngins (and others, no judgment!) like to play a game wherein cups are set up on a ping pong table, beer is added to said cups, and participants try to throw balls into their opponents' cups. If they get one in, the opponent then chugs the beer and on we go again, drinking toward oblivion and a new beer goggles girlfriend/boyfriend for the night.
The Dallas Observer alerted us to Pong, which is available in eight states already, and is soon spreading to a few more soon. According to their site, a 30-pack comes with two free ping pong balls – and if you buy two 30-packs at a time you get a bunch of 16 oz. cups as well.
Will it catch on? Only time and frat parties can tell. As my stunningly astute and wise friend put it, when told about Pong, "Oh, look, they've repackaged Keystone Light."
Pong Beer, the Beer Made Specifically for Beer Pong, is Coming to Texas [Dallas Observer]

Symposium to examine New Orleans' consent decree and prison reform
Loyola press release - February 3, 2014
Legal experts, criminal justice advocates and watchdogs will convene Friday, Feb. 7 at the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law to discuss and explore effective prison reform, including an examination of the controversial consent decree in New Orleans.
The Prison Reform: Progress, Policies & Practices symposium takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in room 308 of the College of Law. It is free and open to the public. The purpose of the event, one of the first in the College of Law's centennial celebration, is to discuss and explore the different approaches to prison reform and to create a dialogue between legal practitioners, community activists and others involved with reshaping the U.S. prison system.
Sponsored by Loyola's Journal of Public Interest Law, the symposium will feature a keynote address at 4:15 p.m. from activist Jackie Sumell, creator of Herman's House, a project dedicated to the memory of Herman Wallace, one of the Angola Three. Wallace, along with Robert King and Albert Woodfox, spent decades in solitary confinement at Angola Prison in Louisiana for the murder of a prison guard. Wallace maintained his innocence and all three became the face of poor prison conditions in the U.S. Wallace passed away in October, three days after his release. King was released in 2001 while Woodfox remains in Angola.
Eric Balaban from ACLU National Prison Project will also serve on a 10:45 a.m. panel on the re-emergence of debtors' prisons. Another panel at 1:30 p.m. will explore lesbian, gay, bisexual and transexual issues in prison and features Wesley Ware, director of Breakout!, a local organization that seeks to end the criminalization of LGBT youth who are directly impacted by the criminal or juvenile justice system in New Orleans.
Other featured speakers participating include Mercedes Montagnes from Promise of Justice Initiative, Alex Friedman from Prison Legal News, and representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union and Orleans Parish Prison Reform Coalition.
A full list of moderators and panelists is available online. For more information, please contact Elizabeth Elliot.

Ivan Avramidi Joins Math Faculty, Sept. 30, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., September 30, 1999 -- Ivan Avramidi recently was appointed to the full-time, tenure-track position of associate professor of mathematics at New Mexico Tech.
Avramidi came to Tech after having served the past two years as a visiting assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Iowa and as a research scientist at the University of Greifswald in Germany and leading research scientist at Rostov State University in Russia.
Avramidi earned his doctoral degree in physical and mathematical sciences in 1987 at Moscow State University in Russia and his senior research scientist degree--a second degree, comparable to the title of associate professor--in theoretical and mathematical physics in 1993 at Rostov State University, where he also earned a first class honors degree (comparable to a master of science) in physics 14 years prior.
The newest member of Tech's mathematics department has been tasked this semester with teaching Calculus and Analytic Geometry and Basic Concepts of Analysis. In addition, Avramidi is helping instruct several students who will be involved with the upcoming Sixtieth Annual William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition, a national mathematics problem-solving contest for university and college undergraduates.
Next semester, he will teach, among other courses, Differential Geometry, a senior-level course that has not been offered at New Mexico Tech for several years.
"I consider teaching to be a very important part of the academic process," Avramidi says. "It is important both for the students and the lecturer. The students learn something new and the lecturer gets new views of the known material when trying to present it in a self-consistent and understandable form."
Avramidi's current research interests center around developing systematic methods for calculating the heat kernel for partial differential operators.
"The heat kernel is one of the most powerful tools in modern theoretical and mathematical physics," Avramidi explains. "In particular, it gives a general framework for the calculation of
the effective action and Green functions in quantum field theory, especially in quantum gravity and gauge theories."
Avramidi's recognized expertise in using the heat kernel approach in quantum field theory and other mathematical applications has garnered him a position as a reviewer of the journal Mathematical Reviews, a post he has held since 1993.
Teaching at a small university and moving to a small town was "a little bit of a culture shock," Avramidi admits, especially since he and his family grew up in places with populations of about a million people and had never lived anyplace with a population of less than a hundred thousand.
"But, I've found New Mexico Tech to be an exceptionally good school," he relates. "The campus is beautiful; the academic achievement level of the students is very high; and the faculty
are all friendly and helpful. . . . We've had to adjust to certain things--like finding out where to buy particular items-- but once we became accustomed to the new system, we liked it."
Avramidi and his wife, Valentina, are the parents of Gregori, who is a freshman at Socorro High School.

Nov. 20, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - This Saturday, the Bulldogs will conclude their season at the 100th annual IC4A (Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America) Championships at Van Cortlandt Park. The 5-mile race, which will commence at 10:45 a.m., will include teams from throughout the Eastern region. The Yale squad looks to close its season with a strong finish at this meet.
Last year, the Bulldogs placed sixth at IC4As despite missing three of their top four finishers from the previous meet. Georgetown won the meet with a score of 38 points.
The Bulldogs had a strong finish last week at the NCAA Northeast Regional Championships, finishing 11th in a field of over 30 teams. Captain Jake Gallagher led the team in scoring with his 35th-place finish. After racing the difficult 10,000-meter course on Van Cortlandt Park last weekend, the return to the 8,000-meter distance for IC4As should be a welcome change.
At this year's meet, some of the runners are opting to rest for the fast-approaching track season, which will give younger and less experienced members of the team a prime opportunity to gain experience racing at Van Cortlandt Park, which is the site of the annual Heptagonal Ivy League Championships.
Results will be posted on the Yale Athletics website at the conclusion of the meet.

Jimmy Kimmel has a new Mrs.! The late night talk-show is officially married.
Kimmel, 45, who hosts ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," tied the knot with longtime girlfriend and show co-head writer, Molly McNearney, Us Weekly reports and People confirms.
The couple wed on Saturday in Ojai in a lavish country ceremony that hosted 300 attendees, including frenemy Matt Damon and his wife, Lucia; Ben Affleck and his wife, Jennifer Garner; Emily Blunt and her husband, John Krasinski; Jennifer Aniston and fiance Justin Theroux; new parents Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell; Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia DeRossi; Kelly Ripa and husband Mark Consuelos; Howard Stern; Andy Richter; Don Cheadle; and Johnny Knoxville, according to Us Weekly.
VIDEO: Jimmy Kimmel vs. Matt Damon: A video history
Celebs stealing the spotlight much?
McNearney, 35, wore a strapless trumpet-cut gown adorned with an embellished belt. Kimmel was dapper in a tux and large bow tie. The new Mr. and Mrs. shared a first dance to Ray LaMontagne's "Let It Be Me" and partied on to jazz selections from a live band and "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas.
The dinner was catered by Animal, a Los Angeles restaurant, and guests enjoyed late-night snacks, including mini sliders and other treats from a line of food trucks, a source told the mag.
Kimmel's brother and McNearney's sister gave speeches at the reception, and invitees were asked to make charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts.
"They are a really great couple," a source told Us. "Everyone is very happy for them.
But the comedian and avid prankster had the joke turned on him at the ceremony. On probably one of the most emotional days of his life, his blushing bride was initially replaced by Oscar-nominated "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe, who walked down the aisle in a flowing white dress and veil to meet the groom, according to the Daily Mail.
PHOTOS: Jimmy Kimmel's career in pictures
The host is said to have appreciated the stunt, the site reports, by greeting Sidibe, who changed into a red dress, later at the reception with a laugh. It should be noted that Sidibe most recently made an appearance in one of Kimmel's many star-studded viral videos, "(I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum," last month.
Kimmel and McNearney have been dating since 2009. Kimmel proposed in August of 2012 while they were vacationing at Kruger National Park in South Africa.
This is Kimmel's second marriage. He was married to first wife Gina for 14 years. They had two children before divorcing in 2002. Kimmel was later linked to comedian Sarah Silverman. During their relationship, the pair produced the viral video "I'm ... Matt Damon" and many of its offshoots. The parody videos with the A-list actor fueled an ongoing feud between Damon and Kimmel and resulted in the Oscar winner's takeover of Kimmel's late-night show last January, soon after ABC moved the talk show to an earlier time slot.
Kimmel also officiated at Damon and his wife's vow renewals on St. Lucia island in the Caribbean last April.
Here's to seeing the outcome of these shenanigans in tidbits on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

The H1N1 influenza strain that caused the 1918 flu pandemic causes a severe immune-system response that likely is what makes the virus so deadly to a host animal or person, according to a new study appearing in the Oct. 5 issue of the journal Nature. The research counters the conventional wisdom on the 1918 flu - that a secondary infection from another virus helped make the pandemic one of the deadliest in the modern era.
Researchers at the University of Washington and other institutions studied the response of lung cells in mice infected with the virus. They conducted a functional genomic analysis of those cells to monitor which genes were activated during the course of an infection. Researchers found that several genes related to immune responses were activated, as were genes related to programmed cell death, which occurs when the body kills off infected cells to stave off an infection.
"What we think is happening is that the host's inflammatory response is being highly activated by the virus, and that response is making the virus much more damaging to the host," explained Dr. John Kash, research assistant professor of microbiology at the UW and lead author of the study. "The host's immune system may be overreacting and killing off too many cells, and that may be a key contributor to what makes this virus more pathogenic."
The 1918 flu pandemic, also known as the Spanish Flu, spread across the world in 1918 and 1919, and killed an estimated 25 million to 50 million people or more worldwide. Unlike seasonal flu, which typically hits children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems the hardest, the 1918 flu affected many younger adults and people without immune-system problems. Modern researchers have long wondered why that influenza strain was so deadly, and why it affected many people outside the populations normally hard-hit by the flu.
One theory that scientists have had on the 1918 flu pandemic was that a secondary infection followed closely on the heels of the main influenza virus, striking people while their immune system was compromised from the flu. This new research indicates that there is something particular about the 1918 influenza strain that makes it especially deadly.
The findings also show Kash and his colleagues an opening in learning how to fight pandemic influenza. If the host's own overzealous immune-system response is partly to blame for the strong effects of the flu strain, then researchers may be able to treat the virus by targeting the host's immune system.
"We're trying to find targets in the host, instead of just in the virus itself," said Dr. Michael Katze, professor of microbiology at the UW, who led the research group. "Then you could have a one-two punch that affects the viral infection, but also dampens the host immune-system response."
The study also included researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in Atlanta; the Department of Microbiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York; the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, in Rockville, Md.; and the Agricultural Research Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in Athens, Ga. The study was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the National Center for Research Resources, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, all part of the National Institutes of Health.

Desktop Sharing with YuuGuu: Ubuntu 9.04
Initial Impressions of Yuuguu
I like the fact, a lot, that it runs on Linux. I hate trainiing on a Windows machine with a Linux virtual machine, it just doesn't seem right. Yuuguu provides a training session with more integrity as it can all be done on Linux. It provides a greater experience for the Linux user as they have a complete picture of what is going on on the desktop.
The YuuGuu Website for download is Here
That said, there are some features that are lacking in Yuuguu. First, as an instructor, tools are very important for providing a professional impression. The only available tool is that the mouse turns to a red dot. This will then highlight an area if you wanted to focus on that. When you are teaching from the command line, being able to highlight a section with a transparent color, just like GoToMeeting, provides an excellent tool for users to focus on the discussion. It is easy to lose users when you cannot highlight properly. The other major factor, is that Yuuguu is slow, too slow. As an instructor, you will highlight, provide discussion, and then move on. However, in initial tests I found that the delay for the movement of the cursor could be as slow as 2 seconds when using the low quality imaging and as slow as 4+ seconds when the high quality image was chosen. That would mean as an instructor you would need to stop and let the cursor catch up each time…hard to discipline yourself to do and strange sounding to students with all of the pauses.
Text chat works fine. The only problem I see is that all students see your chat window as well as their chat window. That really does not make sense because as an instructor it is nice to have a window that students cannot see, as well you lose desktop space. The other feature lacking here is that you have no private chat, everyone sees what the instructor receives, no privacy for students. That will certainly cause some students to refrain from any comments as they will know that there is no private interface.
There is a Free version but it is limited to 100 minutes a month and only 5 users. So it will work OK for most situation but you will need to purchase in order to do much training, $9 a month is all.
Once you install Yuuguu you can select "Web Share" to provide access to your screen. Your users do not need to download anything but most will have a better experience if they do download and install Yuuguu.
When you choose Contacts or Web Share you can send an email to those users who you want to invite.
Once they receive invitation with the meeting ID they can login to the session from a window on yuuguu.com.

thank you 🙂

I tried yuuguu me (Debian GNU/Linux) and a friend (Windows Vista). Yuuguu was too slow… infact it was frustrating. I would suggest another tool

Yoga Bra Top Cross Back - White
Super cute alternative to bras ... much more comfortable and fun to wear.
When choosing your size ... Bear in mind that these bra tops are made of a cotton(90%) spandex(10%) material and will fit nicely to all different shapes and sizes of breasts.
I always suggest women go by firstly their conventional bra back size (and not cup size). However you may need to go up a size if you have particularly broad shoulders. The most important thing is that the band around the bottom is tight to provide optimum support. If you have a large cup size (D or above) you may wish to wear two together to increase support if you're planning on being more active.
I personally am a size 28FF and love wearing 2 smalls at a time to control the bounce!!! Not to mention 2 different colors creates a great effect.
Here's my size guide
Small is roughly 28 - 32
Medium approx 32 - 34
Large is 34 - 36
Extra Large is 36 - 38
XXL is 36-40
If you have any sizing questions don't hesitate to contact me
Here's what some of my awesome customers have to say about the Yoga Bra Top
"I'm wearing mine every day, better than any bra :) love the design & fabric & colours, supportive & just amazing! Happy boobs :) "
"I wear two of the XL size and they give better side support than any bra I've ever tried! (size 36F)"
"they are awesome and everyone should have one!"
"My Mrs has one and she looks hotter than a fire sword in it..."
"I just got my XL teal yoga bra today. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I live with Fibromyalgia and some days I can't tolerate a bra. Most crop - top type bras are useless at supporting my D cups but this is easily THE MOST COMFY THING EVER!!!"

5 Simple Steps for Better Management
5 Simple Steps for Better Management
Good news: Here's a simple process, five easy steps, to improve your business. It's easy to do. And, if you're not doing something like this already, then this simple addition to your process offers you substantial business improvement.
Step 1: Visualize your main story
Take a step back for the business and visualize the main business story. Imagine the ideal customer, what they want from your business, how they find you, and how what you do matches your business' unique qualities and what that specific person wants.
Don't make this hard. Don't sweat the details. You don't even have to write it down, although writing down a few key bullet points can be really valuable for reminding yourself and others, later, about strategy.
Do make it strategic. Strategy is focus, so it's a lot about what you don't do and who isn't in your market. Real business strategy has three elements mixed together: identity, which is what's unique about your business; target market, which you want to define strategically; and business offering, which should also be strategic. Who isn't in your market is as important as who is. What you aren't doing is also important. For example, if your restaurant is about a quiet, leisurely, gourmet dining experience, don't offer take-out or drive-though, and don't have kids eat free.
Step 2: Identify your main assumptions
Don't make this one hard either. Take a step back from the business for a moment, and think about the assumptions you make all the time. Are you assuming a healthy economy, for example, or strong regional growth, or good weather for growing lemons? List these key assumptions. Don't go into too much detail; you'll run into diminishing returns. What you want is a good list to help with regular review and revision (my step 5 below).
Step 3: Set your milestones and performance metrics
Milestones have to do with dates, deadlines, and specific task responsibilities. You write these down for yourself and, if you have a team, for your team members. You don't really get accountability into the business without writing down and agreeing on what's supposed to happen, when, and who is supposed to do it.
Even if you're running your own business entirely by yourself, you still list milestones so you can track progress later. I've learned the hard way on this one, both in my one-person consulting business that I ran for 14 years, and for the 50-person product business it became. If we don't write our intentions down, we lie to ourselves later about what we thought we were going to do. I hope that's just me and not you; but I doubt it.
Performance metrics add backbone and accountability. Some are about basic business performance including sales, direct costs and expenses. But many others are also valuable. For example, leads, website visitors, traffic, meals served, trainings, trips, conversion rates, orders, presentations, incoming calls, minutes per call and so forth. These key performance metrics help you stay on top of the pulse of your business.
Step 4: You need to manage your business cash
Profits alone don't guarantee cash. For example, you can be profitable, but have too much cash tied up in accounts receivable, or inventory, so you end up without enough money to make payroll or cover necessary expenses. To manage cash, you need to project sales, direct costs, expenses, extra spending (for loan repayment or buying assets and such) and extra income (from borrowing, bringing in new investment, or selling assets and so forth).
On this one too, don't try to accurately predict the future. Instead, try to lay out how sales, costs and expenses relate to each other, so later when sales are different from expectations, you have an easy time of identifying the related changes you need to expect in direct costs and make in expenses. Think of what drives sales, such as pricing, marketing expenses, traffic, conversions, leads, pipelines and so forth. And don't go into too much detail because, as with assumptions above, you'll run into diminishing returns if you do. For example, a restaurant shouldn't project sales for every menu item, but summarize and aggregate for dinners, lunches, drinks and other. And a bookstore doesn't project sales by title or author or subject, normally, but rather hard over, soft cover, magazines and other. Keep your categories manageable.
Step 5: Review, revise, repeat
Set a specific day of the month, such as every third Thursday of the month, to review results and revise as necessary. If you're working with others, make sure they know about this regular monthly meeting and miss it only when they have to miss it for good business reasons.
Start your review meeting with your list of assumptions. Identify whether assumptions have changed, and how, and what that means for your business.
Include a review of milestones for the past month, including whether or not expected milestones were reached. Then look at milestones for the next month, to review expectations and compare the milestones with the underlying assumptions.
Finally, review performance metrics. Track and manage the difference between actual performance and established expectations.
And now, lo and behold, you have a business plan
I didn't use the words "business plan" in the title or first paragraph because I don't want you to dismiss it because of the myth of the formal business plan document. Too many business owners read the words "business plan" and dismiss the idea, thinking of some hard-to-do term-paper-like formal document that they don't need unless they are applying for commercial credit, seeking investment, or dealing with issues like selling the business or managing a divorce settlement.
The real business plan, however, is as simple as these five steps. You keep this business plan fresh and up to date and it optimizes management of your company. And when you do need a formal plan, you take this real business plan and dress it up with more description and explanations for outsiders, and print it as a formal business plan document.

For lenders, Kiva Zip works in much the same way as Kiva. We browse loan profiles and choose someone whom we want to support; and we get our money back as our borrowers repay. But with Kiva Zip, lenders can exchange messages directly with borrowers via the 'Conversations' tab on any loan.
As always, be sure to read the fine print on Kiva Zip's Web site before deciding whether it is right for you.
As a dog lover, I chose to lend to 'Pennye: The Big Bad Woof', a store that sells organic, holistic food for companion animals. They work with local farmers to purchase chicken frames, lamb bones etc, thus creating a market for leftovers that would otherwise be discarded.
Have you already used Kiva Zip? If so, what did you think of it?

The statement issued by Notre Dame regarding the fictitious dead girlfriend of linebacker Manti Te'o paints the Heisman Trophy runner-up as the victim of a hoax.
Not surprisingly, the statement from Te'o makes that same claim.
"This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but over an extended period of time, I developed an emotional relationship with a woman I met online," Te'o said in a statement released to PFT and other outlets. "We maintained what I thought to be an authentic relationship by communicating frequently online and on the phone, and I grew to care deeply about her.
"To realize that I was the victim of what was apparently someone's sick joke and constant lies was, and is, painful and humiliating.
"It further pains me that the grief I felt and the sympathies expressed to me at the time of my grandmother's death in September were in any way deepened by what I believed to be another significant loss in my life.
"I am enormously grateful for the support of my family, friends and Notre Dame fans throughout this year. To think that I shared with them my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick. I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been.
"In retrospect, I obviously should have been much more cautious. If anything good comes of this, I hope it is that others will be far more guarded when they engage with people online than I was.
"Fortunately, I have many wonderful things in my life, and I'm looking forward to putting this painful experience behind me as I focus on preparing for the NFL Draft."
His preparation for the draft will include facing plenty of questions from scouts and coaches and General Managers and the media regarding the details of the situation. There are simply too many accounts of in-person contact between Te'o and his fictitious girlfriend to ignore the possibility that Te'o has staked out the safest harbor in a raging storm.
Indeed, if he were involved in any way in perpetrating the hoax (which the Deadspin story exposing the hoax strongly implies), it would be natural and fairly obvious to now claim that he was the victim.
If we've learned anything this week after the Lance Armstrong confession, it's that everyone is capable of telling some pretty incredible lies, even those who can accomplish some pretty incredible things athletically.

Investing in a low-carbon economy: New Mirova publication encourages investors to become actively involved in COP21
Mirova, an asset management firm dedicated to responsible investment, has published today Investing in a low-carbon economy, a guide for investors to become COP21 compliant. Mirova's study provides an in-depth analysis highlighting the challenges of climate change and presents methods for investors to effectively measure their carbon footprint. Mirova offers a unique range of investment solutions promoting energy transition across all asset classes.
The publication is available on request from firstname.lastname@example.com or can be downloaded by clicking here: Mirova_Investing in a low-carbon economy_Insights4
COP21: mobilising private investors is a necessity
To maintain the economy in a "2 degree" trajectory, it is vital to redirect savings towards companies and projects promoting energy transition.
Philippe Zaouati, Head of Mirova explains: "The energy transition can only succeed if we manage to mobilise private investors' savings. The success of COP21 therefore also depends on the ability of asset management firms to propose solutions in response to the climate challenge, whilst delivering the returns expected by investors".
Accurately measuring your carbon footprint
In response to growing demands on investors to make greener investments, Mirova, in partnership with the leading carbon strategy specialist consultant Carbone 4, has developed an innovative methodology to measure the carbon footprint of an investment portfolio. This decision-making tool assesses a company's contribution to the reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions (GGE).
Hervé Guez, Head of Mirova Responsible Investment Research, comments: "Measuring the overall impact of a business on the environment is an essential step towards acting against global warming. Assessing the carbon footprint is therefore an indispensable stage in the construction of portfolios contributing to energy transition".
Low-carbon investments across all asset classes
In order to redirect capital towards investments promoting energy transition, Mirova is proposing solutions involving all asset classes:
• Renewable energy infrastructures: 100% low carbon allocation
For more than 10 years now, Mirova has provided European institutions with access to investments in project companies based on renewable energy assets in France and Europe. Mirova's renewable energies funds, including its latest launch, Mirova Eurofideme 3(1), have generated 730 MW of new production capacity and contributed to avoiding 1.4 million of CO2 emissions.
• Green bonds: a direct link between financing and projects
Mirova was one of the first asset management firms in the world to launch a green bond product: Mirova Green Bond – Global(2). By financing tangible assets and ensuring transparency regarding the deployment of the capital raised, green bonds enable issuers to diversify their investor bases, while enabling investors to actively participate in financing the energy transition.
• Listed equities: committed theme-based asset management
Mirova proposes fundamental conviction-based asset management covering European and global equities, focusing on companies providing sustainable development solutions. Mirova Global Transition Energy Equity Fund(3) invests worldwide in companies offering products and services aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
1 Mirova Eurofideme 3 is open to subscription only for well-informed investors. This fund is not subject to approval by the AMF or a regulatory authority. This fund incurs a risk of loss of capital.
2 Mirova Green Bond Global is a French SICAV (open-ended investment company). This fund incurs a risk of loss of capital.
3 Mirova Global Transition Energy Equity Fund is a Luxembourg sub-fund of the Mirova Funds SICAV (open-ended investment company). Investing in this sub-fund incurs a risk of loss of capital.
The characteristics, risk-return profile and fees relating to UCIT investments are indicated in the KIID for each fund, available from the asset management firm or on the Mirova website: http://www.mirova.com/

Speakers at a luncheon honoring Texas' female lawmakers focused on growing the ranks of women legislators in Austin, and remembering the commitment those officials and others have made for veterans' causes.
"My only complaint to the women of the Texas legislature is there should be more of them," House Speaker Joe Straus told attendees of the Texas Commission for Women's legislative lunch.
Although 60 percent of recent college graduates are women in Texas, Straus noted the legislature has only 30 females members across the 150-seat House and 27-person Senate.
Straus said the current crop of women can change that.
"They will inspire more women to put their name on the ballot," he said.
Women already are changing Texas politics for the better, speakers said. Straus was followed by Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Gov. Rick Perry, who introduced First Lady Anita Perry.
After some friendly ribbing of how women in the workforce work twice as hard as a man, but really don't find that too difficult, Anita Perry focused her remarks in the importance women play not only in the armed forces, but in veterans issues.
"They have sacrificed and they have lost," she said.

I picked this up at a recent estate sale. The seller stated her mother was once an antiques dealer and she did not know anything about this unusual piece. It looks to me to have some Asian influence?...it's made of pottery. Is it a vase? Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!

Egg Creatures
Dyeing for a new way to decorate Easter eggs? Here's a recipe for fun that's hard to beat: With basic crafts supplies -- crepe paper, pipe cleaners, felt, yarn, thread, and glue -- kids can make cows, pigs, and lots of other eggs-traordinary creations from plain white eggs.
Source: Martha Stewart Kids, Spring 2006
Quail eggs (look for them at specialty grocers) are the right size for smaller animals (paint works better than dye to color their spotted shells). And brown eggs are a natural choice for creatures with dark fur or feathers. Get our egg creature templates in our Egg Dyeing 101 app, but who knows just what will hatch from a child's imagination?
See our Egg Preparation Guide for more tips on blowing, dyeing, and decorating eggs.
Utility knife
Paper clip
Paper towels
Ear syringe
Dyeing mixture: 1 teaspoon vinegar, 20 drops food coloring, and 1 cup warm water
Homemade drying rack of pins and foam board
White glue
Tempera paint or marker
Emptying eggs lets you save your creations. An adult should pierce egg at both ends with a utility knife, widening one hole a bit. Poke a straightened paper clip through wide hole; stir yolk. Place ear syringe in smaller hole; squeeze. Contents will pour out. (Wash hands well.)
It's easy to make dye: Cover the work area with paper towels. In a jar, mix 1 teaspoon vinegar, 20 drops food coloring, and 1 cup warm water. Submerge the egg (keep it down with a paper cup containing water). Soak 5 minutes for light colors and 10 minutes for darker shades. Remove the egg with tongs. A homemade rack of pins and foam board makes for even drying and quick cleanup.
Dye or paint should be fully dry before beginning. Affix features with white glue (on crepe paper, use tiny dots of glue); let dry at least 20 minutes. Glue on feet or legs first so egg will stand. For ears and combs, dab glue on edge of felt or crepe paper, affix piece, let dry, then fold up. Add small details like eyes with tempera paint or a marker.

National Get Outdoors Day 2009 Plans Announced
News | Coalitions & Initiatives | Misc. Posted on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 13:27.
Washington, D.C. (January 15, 2009) A consortium of federal agencies and nonprofit organizations and the recreation industry today announced details for National Get Outdoors Day 2009, an annual event to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun across the nation. On June 13, 2009, participating organizations will offer sites for American families to sample both traditional and new types of outdoor activities. Prime goals of the day are reaching first-time visitors to public lands and reconnecting our youth to the great outdoors, and then invite those taking part in the day to visit specific sites for fun "EChO-Events" for opportunities to hike with rangers, learn to fish, and go mountain biking.
In June 2008, more than 60 National Get Outdoors Day events were held, drawing tens of thousands of youth and their families. The events included climbing walls, chances to have pictures taken with Smokey Bear, introductions to fishing and new activities like geocaching and much more.
"We will build upon the successes of 2008, expanding our partnerships and finding new ways to reach families who understand the benefits of active time outdoors," said American Recreation Coalition (ARC) President Derrick Crandall. "There will be some important changes for this June. First, we will use the most successful sites of 2008 as our model for 2009. That includes use of sites in metropolitan areas, including city parks, where access by public transportation and walking is available to many. We'll also expand our efforts to work with organizations that can help us reach those who are not traditional visitors to public lands and waters. We'll continue to work with church youth groups and urban youth service organizations.
"Most important of all, we will feature special exciting recreation opportunities to those who attend National Get Outdoors Day events – we are calling them EChO-Events. Managers of state parks, national forests, national parks, wildlife refuges and more will be with us at the events and offer information on follow-up activities at some of the nation's greatest outdoor places – places readily reachable from the urban National Get Outdoors Day sites. These EChO-Events will include introductions to mountain biking and fly-fishing, hikes with rangers to see wildlife, kayaking and rafting and much more. And we'll arrange for the equipment needed at these follow-up events," said Crandall.
National Get Outdoors Day events are open to all but specially target urban families who rarely engage in outdoor fun. Active, hands-on recreation opportunities are highlighted. State agencies and enthusiast groups provide rods, reels and casting lessons. Many sites offer orienteering courses, teaching youth about adventure with a compass and map. Kids will put up and take down tents and test sleeping bags. Bikes, boats and RVs are on display and event partners like National Wildlife Federation (NWF) hand out free coloring books and more and share information on other outdoor events, including the Great American Backyard Campout. Information about volunteerism on public lands – and even on job opportunities through AmeriCorps and Forest Service hot-shot fire crews – is available. Crowd favorites include the U.S. Forest Service's Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl and the NWF's Ranger Rick, all of whom pose for pictures, stroll through the event and use companions to talk about key issues ranging from fire to outdoor ethics.
Further information on the national effort and specific events can be found at www.nationalgetoutdoorsday.org.

High-quality farm products, sustainably grown
Rominger Brothers Farms is a progressive, diversified family farm and ranch located north of Winters, California. Brothers Rick and Bruce Rominger are fifth-generation Yolo County farmers. They produce many different crops using organic and conventional techniques, including winegrapes, processing tomatoes, rice, wheat, corn, safflower, sunflower, onions, alfalfa and oat hay. As stewards of the land, Bruce and Rick are committed to growing crops in ways that protect the environment, such as minimizing the use of crop protection materials, using drip irrigation to conserve water and using sheep to graze crop residue. Rominger Brothers Farms is located 40 miles west of Sacramento and 60 miles northeast of San Francisco. Farm tours are available by appointment. The ranch is also home to Rominger Trails, where horseback riders can go trail riding on 2,000 acres of scenic oak-studded foothills and flat terrain. By Robyn Rominger
