Posted by Andrew Roman on June 22, 2010
Temperatures in and around New York City, over the past several days, had been almost August-like. A couple of days ago, in fact,, the mercury was aggressively flirting with the dreaded 90 degree plateau. I say "dreaded" because I freely admit to being in the minority when it comes to warm weather. I simply hate the heat. Summer – outside of baseball, vacations and longer days – is my least favorite season, followed closely by winter (although I make concessions for Christmas when I actually hope for winter-like weather).
I am a spring and autumn man, with leanings toward the fall.
I'm one of those who will gladly take 60 degrees over 80 degrees any day.
While in the car over the past several days, with 80-plus degree temps becoming the norm, I've been hearing the local DJs and weather experts make exuberant comments like, "A gorgeous day in New York City!" and "As beautiful as it gets!"
One weather guy actually said, "If it were like this year round, there'd never be anything to be sad about!"
Obviously, he didn't mean it literally (seeing as there are plenty of grumpy people in warmer climates), but his sentiment was universal among the radio personalities in New York I had the chance to sample over the past few days: heat is good!
"It's gonna feel like paradise today!"
"Get out there and love it while it lasts!"
Blah-blah-blah …
Setting aside my personal animus for any temperature above 80 degrees, I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh while listening to these people sing the praises of the unseasonable heat wave.
How ironic, I thought.
These radio folks were the very same ones who, a couple of months earlier, were positively crazed with Earth Day and the potentially horrific effects of global warming. These same hot-weather cheerleaders were only a couple of short months ago warning everyone within earshot of the impending doom awaiting all earthlings if conscientious enviro-friendly anti-warming action wasn't taken immediately. I couldn't as much as spit at a radio that day without hearing something about Earth Day, the environment, the climate and anything "green."
It was all-Earth Day all day.
In fact, it received more play than National Holocaust Remembrance Day and Washington's Birthday combined – times ten. These summer-loving microphone jockeys spent every possible moment sharing "green" tips, planet-saving helpful hints, environmentally gracious suggestions and overall climate-protecting measures. Indeed, if I had a dollar for every time one of these retro-hippie DJs and hippy-dippy weathermen went on about climate change and global warming, I could almost afford a McDonald's Value Meal in Manhattan.
How … discerning.
Can I then assume – with global warming and climate change as one of humanity's most pressing and critical issues – that hot can be selectively good? Like, for instance, after a long, cold winter of being cooped up in the house reading The Daily Cos?
And if there are sun tans still to be worked on, bikinis to be worn, sand castles to be built and boardwalk concessions yet to be patronized, are rising temperatures then acceptable to the greenies? At least some of the time?
And if the environmentalists truly believe that a cooler planet is better, why ask us to be "green" of all things? Doesn't "green" imply growth, warmth and prosperity? Don't trees, plants, shrubs, leaves and grass generally thrive in warm weather? Isn't that when they are at their "greenest?"
Leaves actually fall off and die in cooler weather.
Most trees become bare when the cold sets in.
Grass often turns brown in the winter.
Shouldn't the color of environmentalism be brown? Or gray?
One Response to "SO, IS WARMING GOOD OR NOT?"
June 30, 2010 at 5:53 AM
You are confusing weather with climate. A few hot, sunny days in New York City is weather.
Global warming refers to an increase in the average overall temperature of the world.
It does not mean that every place on Earth is going to be hotter.
It means that some places will become warmer. In other places, changes in wind and ocean currents will make some places cooler, some places have less rainfall, some places will have more rainfall, etc.
(That's why many people prefer to use the term "climate change" rather than "global warming".)
Changes in the Earth's overall temperature could also affect migratory patterns of animals which could affect ecosystems.

"What an amazing difference and lean way to operate our business, in the past, we used to maintain manual files for all our customers and our properties."
Philip Meyer, CEO of Capsol
"What an amazing difference and lean way to operate our business, in the past, we used to maintain manual files for all our customers and our properties."
Philip Meyer, CEO of Capsol
Capsol, a luxury holiday villa and rental company in Camps Bay, South Africa chooses Sage to realize its potential and offer superior customer service to its unique client base.
The business challenge
This family-run business pioneered the luxury villa and rental industry in Cape Town and is still a leader in its industry today. To support their significant growth in the market, Capsol realized they needed a better way to manage their customers but also link their accounts department with their sales and marketing department. An integrated CRM and accounting solution seemed like the obvious choice. "Our clientele base had grown significantly, which necessitated the need for more sales staff. Our operational structures and systems were simply not sufficient to handle the rapid expansion. We needed a CRM and accounting system that would suit our needs," explains Philip Meyer, CEO of Capsol.
Match made in heaven
Like many other businesses, Capsol did their research and shopped around before deciding on a solution. A thorough study of around 35 CRM and accounting solutions was completed before Capsol decided on Sage. Philip describes some of the key factors influencing their decision to go with Sage "Sage's ease of use, proven track-record and ease of customization were key factors in our decision.'' Due to the nature of the industry, remote locations and a sales team always on the move, another key factor in this decision was anytime, anywhere access. Sage provides Capsol access to key customer information from anywhere, keeping them mobile and informed at all times.
Confidence is restored
With the help of Sage, Philip can now make informed decisions confidently knowing he has the correct information to back them up. Detailed reporting and a view of the Pipeline are used as the basis to predictably manage cash flow. "Increased conversion from sales leads into revenue is key to our success, as is detailed reporting and analysis that can aid us in making informed decisions. Sage provides all of this for us at an affordable price tag, with the functionality further lowering our operational costs and increasing productivity of our staff" explains Meyer. All this and more has made a significant difference to the way Philip operates the business "What an amazing difference and lean way to operate our business, in the past, we used to maintain manual files for all our customers and our properties." says Meyer. On top of all this, staff productivity has greatly increased while operational costs have decreased.

The Mission Team was born in June 2016 with the purpose of inspiring, encouraging and resourcing churches for mission. We wait with confident expectation to see God's Kingdom grow both spiritually and numerically across generations. Our desire is to re-imagine our strategy for mission, exploring fresh vision to grow the Kingdom and serve Parishes as they initiate new mission ideas to ensure a growing Christian witness in every local community.
We work in partnership with Clergy and Lay Ministers across the Diocese to promote the health of our churches, ensuring they are appropriately resourced to evangelise and grow Disciples of Christ, as well as develop Invite, Welcome, Worship and Christian Giving strategies. Together we ensure that the Diocese is resourced to tackle the evolving shape of the church so that we can meet the challenges of mission and ministry in coming decades.
We are excited about exploring changes in society with regard to culture and shifting attitudes and are developing a Diocesan Mission Strategy with an associated Implementation Plan. We are eager to make the best use of the gifts and talents God has given to us and our aim is to see change where change is needed at the same time as protecting all the good things we already do in the name of Christ. We promote existing and new models of church to grow congregations that flourish through serving each other and our communities.
Our relentless focus on growing God's Kingdom in our time will ensure we undertake activities and initiatives that are intentionally missional in their design and execution and engage proactively with our communities at a personal, Parish, Deanery and Diocesan level.

Opinion recap: Hall Street v. Mattel
In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Arbitration Act contains the exclusive grounds for promptly vacating or modifying an arbitral award. Justice Souter's opinion rejects petitioner's argument that parties may contractually agree to expanded grounds of review. However, the Court vacated the judgment and remanded the case for proceeding consistent with the opinion. Justice Kennedy joined Justice Stevens's dissenting opinion while Justice Breyer dissented separately.
The Court begins by rejecting Hall Street's two principal arguments for expanding the grounds of review. First, in the Court's view, petitioner misinterprets its decision in Wilko v. Swan. While conceding that the case does contain "some language arguably in favor of Hall Street's position," the Court emphasizes that "arguable is as far as it goes." Wilko does not explicitly expand the grounds for vacatur beyond the statute, but instead expressly rejects the type of expansion that petitioner seeks "" that is, general review for legal error. Furthermore, the term "manifest disregard" is vague, and could well just be shorthand for the statutory grounds "" i.e., when the arbitrators are "guilty of misconduct" or "exceeded their powers."
The Court also rejects petitioner's contract argument. Though recognizing the FAA's general policy towards enforcing tailored agreements, the Court moves on to analyze whether the statutory text compels exclusive grounds of review. Souter notes that the text specifically includes statutory grounds that emphasize extreme arbitral conduct. Relying on the maxim of statutory interpretation ejusdem generis "" "when a statute sets out a with a general term, that general term is confined to covering subjects comparable to the specifics it follows" "" the Court explains that because the statute includes "no textual hook for expansion," the parties cannot expand review to any legal error when the specific statutory instances are only for outrageous conduct. ""Fraud' and mistake of law are not from the same cut of cloth." Moreover, the Court notes that § 9 does not hint of any flexibility in the confirmation unless a "prescribed" exception applies.
The Court instead views Sections 9 through 11 as stating a policy in favor of enforcing arbitration with limited judicial review. "Any other reading opens the door to the full-bore legal and evidentiary appeals that can "rende[r] arbitration merely a prelude to a more cumbersome and time-consuming judicial review process." Justice Souter does not divine whether this holding will cause an exodus from either arbitration or the courts. Rather, based on the text, the Court has "no business to expand the statutory grounds." Additionally, the opinion is quick to remind that this ruling speaks only to review under the FAA. Other enforcement options are available to parties, i.e., state courts and the common law.
In dicta, the Court took a moment to expound on another avenue that may have been open to the petitioner. Because the parties, during the course of litigation, submitted the arbitral agreement to the district court, which adopted the agreement as an order, the Court pondered in oral arguments whether the agreement should be treated as "an exercise of the District Court's authority to manage its cases under [FRCP] 16." The Court ultimately declined to resolve this case management issue, but it did note that it was an open question for the district court to consider on remand.
In his dissent, Justice Stevens argues that the majority opinion "conflicts with the primary purpose of the FAA and ignores the historical context in which the Act was passed." Section 2 of the FAA makes arbitral agreements "valid, irrevocable, and enforceable," which was a departure from the common law and the core purpose of the statute. Therefore, Justice Stevens argues, the Court should err on the side of enforcing the terms of a negotiated agreement.
Justice Stevens deems unpersuasive what he regards as the Court's two principal reasons for reaching their result. First, he rejects the notion that the litigants and Congress engaged in a quid pro quo conditioning expedited enforcement on acceptance of limited judicial review. Second, he also rejects the Court's statutory analysis as a "wooden application of "the old rule of ejusdem generis.'" To negate both reasons, his dissent relies on the § 2 purpose of the statute and the historical context in which it was legislated. In his view, this case is an opportunity for the court to favor the freedom of the parties to set the terms of their agreement.
In his dissent, Justice Breyer focuses on whether the FAA "precludes" a federal court from enforcing the agreement. In his opinion, both the majority opinion and Justice Stevens's dissent agree that the FAA does not preclude enforcement of the agreement. Therefore, because the agreement is enforceable, he would remand the case to the court of appeals with instructions to "affirm the District Court's judgment enforcing the arbitrator's final award."

Welcome Message From James Lee Valentine

If you are like many people, you have searched long and hard for an easier way to create a substantial income.

This MX500 online business has been created to help empower people FINANCIALLY and PERSONALLY so that they are more able to transform their lives in a positive and fulfilling direction. In this fast-paced world, it seems that people everywhere are looking to get rich as fast as possible. While this is understandable, it is hardly ever attained in reality. Partly this is because online programs proliferate so quickly and then disappear just as fast. Easy come, easy go is the motto that springs to mind. But we aim to be an exception to this philosophy of here today, gone tomorrow companies.
We at the multiple MX programs know that people want a stable online money-making program allied to a good-value product and that is why, as you read further down this page and you study our entire website, including the comprehensive Questions section, you will come to understand that we want to promote home businesses that will stand the test of time. This is done by having a solid foundation upon which we and you together can build our stable yet rewarding future.
A major part of the solid foundation of MX500 --- and our sister programs MX20 and MX Fast Money and MX1 and MX3 and MX7 and MX9--- comes from the fact that since our initial inception in June 2009, though trial and error and massive workload and multiple testing of many operating systems and tremendous expense in time and money, we have finally created systems that operate correctly at all times and have done so since May 2011.
Today and every day for all of our online businesses our operating systems and software programs all work flawlessly, with automated payments systems, correct placement of new members, instantaneous commission allocation in the members area back offices, instant commission request by the members, on-time commission payments, automatic and instant online delivery of the products on time every time, and all facets of the programs have been proven to work as intended and will continue to operate flawlessly henceforth.
You have my word as the founder of MX500 that we will still be here in the year 2020 and beyond. Our MX500 Vision as detailed below will give you clear insights into my own personal commitment to do whatever I can to keep our programs running flawlessly so that you can build your own personal network of members safe in the knowledge that it will endure, all the time empowering you with the ability to increase your income and help others along their paths to financial success also.
Keep in mind, as you make your decision to join us or not, that MX500 has a ONE-TIME joining fee only. This means that once you have joined, you are a member for the life of the business. However, you can earn income again and again and again for the life of the business, "cycling" as many times as you are able, each time earning more than two times the $25 one-time joining cost. In the case of MX500 this means you can earn $500 each and every time you complete a new matrix of just 6 people PLUS $10 New-Member-Bonuses. For more details on how our compensation system works, please see the Opportunity and Pay Plan pages of this website.
One of my strongest personal facets is communication --- at least via email. I am online every day of the year, even Christmas Day, albeit for a few hours only on special holidays, and I ALWAYS respond to every proper email that is addressed to me by name, usually within just a few hours.

Founder of the MX online home business programs
MX500 Vision
At MX500 we believe that clarity of vision is an integral part of the process for attaining success in all areas of life, especially the financial arena. Say your objective is to have a net worth of one million dollars or more by the year 2020. Without a clear perception of what you specifically want to achieve and when, you will likely never attain this aim or any other.
Clear vision is often referred to as "20-20 vision" and we believe that you must have clearly sighted long range financial goals of monumental importance to you that help manifest successful results for you. These strategic targets must form a financial development plan for your business and personal life that come to fruition at latest by the year 2020.
Stability of whatever business you are involved in is vital for long term success to transpire. As such, we are making this personal commitment to you that we will keep expanding and improving the MX500 home business opportunity at least until the year 2020 and much longer and keep it operating seamlessly and professionally for the entire duration.
This means that you have enough time in which to fulfill your financial ambitions with the confident knowledge that the effort you place into building your own MX500 home business today will pay off handsomely in the long term future. Our commitment allied with our unique "1000% Pay Plan" means that your financial objectives are now within your reach.
We want you to think of MX500 as a get rich steadily home business that you build slowly but surely month after month after month. If you will introduce just one new member into MX500 each month for twelve months and you work with these people to also bring in just one new person each month for twelve months, you would build a substantial and very profitable network.
Then, if you have this philosophy of slow but steady growth repeated throughout your network, it would expand exponentially each year. That's the beauty of compound growth in action in your business. And remember, you never have to pay any extra fees once you have joined MX500, ever.
So, in a one-year period, you may have brought in just twelve or so individuals, yet your network could be in excess of several hundreds of people. And if every person in your network kept bringing in just one new person each month, your business would explode because the compound growth would be increased by an exponential factor year after year.
With the MX500 product --- fifty weeks of the MLM POWER AUDIOS series --- you have enough financial mastery and personal empowerment fire-power to positively transform your life, one day at a time. Our aim is to provide you with a professional and high-impact resource that is a guiding force in your life until the glorious day arrives when you have finally attained all of your personal and financial aims.
We at MX500 will do all we possibly can to help you create for yourself a substantial personal net worth via our dynamic and empowering home business opportunity. The chance is here now for you to move a few steps closer to attaining what you most desire for yourself and your loved ones. With us, you will have a stable program that remains in place throughout this decade with systems that operate as they should, thereby giving you the confidence to recommend the family of MX online home business programs to the people in your circle of influence and thereby giving you the increased income you crave.

World League expands to 28 countries
Lausanne, Switzerland, December 1, 2013 – The FIVB World League Council confirmed during its annual one-day meeting at the FIVB head office in Lausanne, Switzerland on Sunday an exciting and ground breaking structure for the FIVB Volleyball World League 2014 with the FIVB's premier annual men's volleyball event expanding from 18 countries to 28 for the first time ever.
"This is an historic moment for the FIVB and the World League," FIVB President Dr. Ary S. Graça F° said to the 28 federations represented in the meeting. "This new direction is all about growing volleyball and providing opportunities for federations to play.
"It is very clear for me, the future is today and we are doing something different. This is the new era and I would like to congratulate the new countries who are involved, who now have an opportunity to play on the world stage."
The 28 teams have been split into seven pools.
() Numbers in brackets denotes world ranking
Pool A features two of the most successful countries in the 24-year history of the World League with world No. 1 and nine-time champions Brazil along with eight time winners Italy, 2012 champions Poland and the rapidly improving Iran.
In Pool B are defending champions Russia, 2012 silver medallists USA, this year's fourth-placed team Bulgaria and four-time runner's up Serbia.
Pool C features first time participants Belgium along with Canada, Australia and Finland while Argentina, Germany, France and Japan are in Pool D. Pool E features the Netherlands, Korea, the Czech Republic - who return to the World League after making their only previous appearance in 2003 – and Portugal.
Last year's 13th place finishers Cuba are joined in Pool F by World League debutants Tunisia, Turkey and Mexico whilst Pool G sees Puerto Rico return after making their only appearance in 2011, China and Spain return after last appearing in 2010 and 2008 respectively while Slovakia will make their World League debut.
During the Intercontinental Round, Pools A to E will play double home and away matches, for a total of 12 matches per team. Pool F & G will feature two stand-alone tournaments per pool involving the four teams in the pool.
The World League Intercontinental Round will start on the weekend of May 23 to 25 with Pool A & B holding a Final Six – the top two teams in each pool (A & B), the hosts and the winner from the Final Four from Pools C, D and E - on the week of July 16 to 20.
Pools C, D and E will also have six rounds before their Final 4 on the weekend of July 4 to 6.
The Final Four for Pools F & G is expected to take place on June 27 to 29.
The last ranked team of Pool A & B after the Intercontinental Round could be relegated if the winner of the Final Four of Pools C, D and E can meet the promotion requirements set by the FIVB.

New Year's Baby speaks!
This whole prediction thing ought to have some real mojo behind it, so why not hear from an au-then-tic New Year's baby?
I was born Jan. 1, 1967, so that should give me an edge. (Though FYI, every time I made a months-out prediction in 2008, I was way off. Most tellingly: If I had been correct a year ago, it would have been Hillary vs. Romney on Nov. 4, and Hillary would have won. (And she would have.))
Here are my Baker's Dozen.
1. Mayor John Hickenlooper will be our next senator.
In his absence, Denverites will be treated to a wild and crazy special election for his replacement. With no requirement for a runoff election, this one could go to a surprise candidate, but I'm predicting:
2. Former House Speaker Andrew Romanoff will be Denver's new mayor.
I admit that I make this prediction because I think Hickenlooper would be a great senator for Colorado, and because I think Romanoff would continue the bipartisan and entrepreneurial leadership here in the Mile High City that Hickenlooper's administration has given us.
3. Former Gov. Bill Owens will enter the senate race for 2010.
4. Former Rep. Tom Tancredo will launch a campaign to unseat Gov. Bill Ritter in 2010.
5. Barack Obama's huge infrastructure and economic stimulus plan will help Colorado lawmakers find a way to craft a "Let's Get Moving Again" campaign to add fees and tolls to back bonds and begin solving our transportation needs.
6. That bleepin' Illinois governor kills Chicago's chances to host the Summer Olympic Games in 2016, and our governor leverages Denver's triumphant hosting of the Democratic National Convention to nail the Winter Olympics in 2018.
Wait, that's two predictions. (I warned you I have struggled with this in the past.) So:
8. Obama and the Democratically controlled everything will add a total of $100 billion to the bailout loan package already given to American automakers.
9. It won't do any good.
10. Comedian Al Franken will be Minnesota's new senator, and that will be a hoot.
11. Republicans aren't good at licking their wounds. They tire quickly of navel-gazing and prefer action. Watch for more coherent messages and strategies coming out of the Grand Old Party later in '09.
12. Oprah Winfrey will lose those 40-odd pounds.
13. Britney Spears will fall off the wagon.
So we'll see. But whatever happens, here's hoping you have a Happy New Year!

This paper describes how knowledge-based techniques can be used to overcome problems of workflow management in engineering applications. Using explicit process and product models as a basis for a workflow interpreter allows to alternate planning and execution steps, resulting in an increased flexibility of project coordination and enactment. To gain the full advantages of this flexibility, change processes have to be supported by the system. These require an improved traceability of decisions and have to be based on dependency management and change notification mechanisms. Our methods and techniques are illustrated by two applications: Urban land-use planning and software process modeling.
In this paper we present an interpreter which allows to support the validation of conceptual models in early stages of the development. We compare hypermedia and expert system approaches to knowledge processing and show how an integrated approach eases the creation of expert systems. Our knowledge engineering tool CoMo-Kit allows a "smooth" transition from initial protocols via a semi-formal specification based on a typed hypertext up to an running expert system. The interpreter uses the intermediate hypertext representation for the interactive solution of problems. Thereby, tasks are distributed to agents via an local area network. This means that the specification of an expert system can directly be used to solve real world problems. If there exist formal (operational) specifications for subtasks then these are delegated to computers. Therefore, our approach allows to specify and validate distributed, cooperative systems where some subtasks are solved by humans and other subtasks are solved automatically by computers.

Hi all, I've just moved into my very own flat and have just started to venture into the world of having to do DIY. I've done practically no DIY so far in my life so hopefully I'm not going to embarass myself with stupid questions :)
Anyway, one of the first problems I've got is with the internal door lock on the main door to my flat. Basically, one side (the external side) takes the key to lock / unlock the door, whilst on the internal side, there is no keyhole, instead there is a lever you turn to lock /unlock the door.
More accurately, there *was* a lever. Somehow it seems to have snapped off, so I have no leverage to actually lock / unlock the door. Hopefully the pictures below will make things clearer:
This is the door handle from the inside as it is now:
And the piece that has snapped off:
(And another here that doesn't seem to want to link properly): http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/8227/cimg0339u.jpg
Now, I don't know anything about door handles, but it almost seems as though the screw bit protruding from the side was meant to go all the way through and has snapped off. If this is the case, does anyone know anywhere where I can get a replacement screw of the right size?
Thanks in advance :)

When :from Friday 6 September, 2013 15:00 to Friday 6 September, 2013 17:30
Type of event :Категория 8-Симпозиум
Where :UNESCO Headquarters, Room XI, 7 place Fontenoy, 75007, Paris, France
Contact :Dafna Feinholz, Chef de l'Équipe Bioéthique, Secteur des sciences sociales et humaines, UNESCO : email@example.com
A roundtable organized in Paris, on 6 September 2013, will bring together internationally renowned bioethics specialists to discuss, in public, for more than two hours, UNESCO's achievements in the realm of Bioethics over the last twenty years, and the role that the Organization should play in this field within the framework of the Post-2015 Development Agenda.
Commemorating the 20th anniversary of UNESCO's bioethics programme and the creation of the International Bioethics Committee (IBC), this event, which will be opened by the Assistant Director-General of UNESCO for Social and Human Sciences, Ms. Pilar ALVAREZ-LASO, will be held immediately after the closing of the 8th session of the Intergovernmental Bioethics Committee (IGBC).
This roundtable will allow participants to discuss the successes of UNESCO's activities in the field of bioethics. It aims to bring into focus the most important challenges in bioethics – both those arising from the spectacular progress of science and those more persistent challenges relating to respecting individual rights (rights to information, privacy, bodily integrity, equitable access to health care), within a framework of solidarity.
The discussion, which will last a little more than two hours, should suggest ways to help ensure that UNESCO Bioethics activities are both relevant and lead to lasting impact for the benefit of people in the coming years.
In addition to the current Chairpersons of the IBC and IGBC (Professors Stefano SEMPLICI and Yongyuth YUTHAVONG), and those in charge of the UNESCO's Programme for Bioethics, numerous renowned specialists will be at UNESCO on this occasion to share their experiences and perspectives.
Among them are:
• Prof. Nouzha GUESSOUS, Moroccan Researcher and International Consultant on Human Rights and Bioethics; Chairperson of IBC from 2005 to 2007;
• Prof. John HARRIS, British philosopher and bioethicist Director of the Institute for Science, Ethics and Innovation at the University of Manchester (United-Kingdom), engaged on the challenging topic of enhancement;
• Ms Genoveva KEYEUX is a biologist, with a Master's and PhD degree in Molecular Biology from the University of Louvain and Montpellier, respectively. She worked for over 30 years as Professor and Researcher in human molecular genetics at the Javeriana and the National Universities in Bogotá (Colombia).
• Prof. Georges KUTUKDJIAN, Lebanese philosopher and social anthropologist; Former Director of the UNESCO's Division of Philosophy, Human Sciences and Ethics of Science and Technology until December 2001; Secretary-General of the IBC (1993-1995) and Executive Secretary of the World Commission of the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology (COMEST); Rapporteur of the IBC Drafting Group of the "International Declaration on Human Genetic Data" (2002-2003);
• Sir Michael G. MARMOT, Director of the International Centre for Health and Society (United-Kingdom); a leading voice on the social determinants of health;
• Ms Michèle STANTON-JEAN, Québec Government Representative within the Permanent Delegation of Canada to UNESCO; Canadian Deputy Minister of Health (1993-1998) and Chairperson of the IBC from 2002 to 2005;
• Prof. Henk TEN HAVE, Director of the Center for Healthcare Ethics at Duquesne University of Pittsburgh (U.S.A.) and Founding member of the International Association for Ethics in Education (IAEE); Former Director of UNESCO's Division of Ethics of Science and Technology (2003-2010);
• Dr Aissatou TOURÉ, Immunologist and Researcher at the Pasteur Institute, Dakar (Senegal); Member of the Senegalese Health Research Council and Member of the IBC since 2006.
This roundtable, open to the public, will include simultaneous translation into the six working languages of UNESCO, and will be webcast live.

First Names Dropped From We the People Petitions
The White House has abbreviated citizen signatures on its We the People petition website. The signatures, which used to include a signer's first name and last initial, now just include first and last initials.
The signature blocks also include the signer's location and the date of the signature.
The change comes less than two weeks after the White House raised the bar for petitions to receive an official response to 100,000 signatures in one month. The 16-month-old website was flooded with hundreds of thousands of petitions related to the shooting of 26 people at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., in December and from citizens seeking to secede from the union after President Obama's reelection in November.
The change affected both signatures on active petitions and on historic petitions that have already received a White House response.
There was no public announcement of the change and the White House declined to comment about it on the record.
The change will likely reduce the amount of monitoring and oversight White House staffers must perform on petitions. There's no mechanism to ensure people who register with We the People are using their real names, so it would be possible for registrants, for instance, to enter profanity in the first name field.
The move will also inhibit some social science research using the site, such as a University of North Carolina study that divided signers of secession petitions by their presumed gender.
The White House has stated in the past that it retains all data it removes from the public We the People site in order to comply with the Federal Records Act. Previously, the White House has only removed petitions that failed to meet the threshold for an administration response and petitions that violated the site's terms of service.

Jay Cutler's neck stiffened up, and the Chicago Bears couldn't escape their early stumble at Minnesota.
The playoff race is tightening around them, too.
Adrian Peterson rushed for 154 yards and two first-quarter touchdowns and Harrison Smith returned an interception for a score to lead the Vikings to a 21-14 victory on Sunday over the free-falling Bears, who have lost four of their last five games.
"We have to make sure we close this hole up before it gets too late," said wide receiver Devin Hester, who dropped a sure touchdown pass from Cutler when he was wide open up the middle on third-and-6 at the Minnesota 23 with about 4½ minutes left.
Brandon Marshall, who finished with 10 catches for 160 yards, couldn't snag the ball on the next play, giving the ball back to the Vikings (7-6). That was the last throw of the afternoon for Cutler, who took a late hit to the head from Everson Griffen earlier on that drive.
When the Bears (8-5) started their next possession, Jason Campbell was in at quarterback. Cutler was in obvious discomfort after the game, robotically turning his shoulders instead of his head while he stood at the podium to take questions from reporters.
"We all let the team down," Marshall said. He added: "I have to make that play. That was a momentum play. If we move the chains, the game is probably different. I've got to do better."
Whether it's mounting injuries, bad tackling or an erratic passing attack, the Bears have lost their first-half momentum. They host division-leading Green Bay next week then play at Arizona and Detroit to finish the season. Despite starting 7-1, the Bears have already started talking about needing to win out.
"That's fine. We can do that. The confidence is not wavering. We're fully confident that we can do that," defensive end Julius Peppers said, adding: "We don't need to do anything heroic or super-human to beat Green Bay."
If this slide has begun to feel familiar for the Bears, that's because it is. Last season, they lost five straight games after a 7-3 start and finished 8-8 to miss the playoffs. Cutler went 22 for 44 for 260 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Josh Robinson got the first one after Alshon Jeffery got tangled up and slipped, returning the ball to the 5 to set up Peterson's second score.
"You know it's going to be a hostile environment and all that. We talk a lot about starting fast. You have to do that on the road," coach Lovie Smith said. "That opening drive really put us on our heels, and we never really recovered."
Cutler blamed the second interception on his neck, when his deep throw to Marshall was picked off by Smith and run back 56 yards to give the Vikings a 21-7 lead.
"Couldn't really follow through with it. Got the coverage we wanted," Cutler said, adding: "It sailed on me. It was nothing they were doing. Just they happen sometimes."
Marshall tried to take the blame for that one, too.
"That was another one of those plays I've got to make. When you have a hot-hand quarterback like that, you have to make the plays for him, because the more you make plays for him, the hotter he gets," Marshall said, noting his 6-foot-5 frame. "I've got to go up and get it."

Culture Shock
Is it White History Week again already? You know, even though the stores are filled with decorations, it sneaks up on me every year. White History Week, rather than a reiteration of the sort of rich white male history that takes up most weeks of the year, seeks to explore how racial identity is constructed and defined. The events, which take place Wednesday, April 15, through Tuesday, April 21, include workshops, poetry readings, theater performances and a Shabbat dinner. If you're interested in truly investigating race and racism (and apparently, just because Obama is president does not mean racism is dead), then go to nmantiracism.blogspot.com for more information about events, places, times and topics.

Was it a case of an over-zealous bureaucrat? Safety officials trying to make a highly visible point about the need for car seat belts?
"In a case that brought amusement to the Vatican, a German court decided to throw out charges against Pope Benedict for not wearing a seat belt during his recent papal visit to the country," reports the Catholic News Agency.
Pope Benedict XVI in the Popemobile
"There will be no fine for the Pope," city spokeswoman Edith Lamersdorf told the German newspaper Sudkurier.
It turns out that the charges were brought by an anonymous citizen with a passion for seat belt safety. His attorney, Christian Sundermann, filed the complaint on behalf of the unnamed Dortmund resident, saying her client was annoyed that the pontiff had ignored local seat belt laws when he visited

There's a reason why rock stars stick to evening gigs, and Steven Tyler might've just given us exhibits A and B as proof.
While appearing on the Today show this morning, Steven Tyler &Co. (OK, really just Steven Tyler) made not one but two viral-ready gaffes, starting with when he dropped a live F-bomb on TV.
Oh, Tom Hanks. What hath you wrought?
Check out Hanks dropping the F-bomb on GMA
The accidental curse word took place as Aerosmith was readying to take to the stage during the show's 8 o'clock hour.
While Al Roker was giving a weather update, the band was onstage revving up the crowd ahead of their first song, though clearly unaware that their mics were in fact already on.
"Hey y'all...Thanks for coming out, you crazy f--kers," Tyler could be heard saying against the backdrop of a weather map.

"What did he just say?" Roker asked. "That's why they haven't done mornings."
As for gaffe No. 1, that took place at the start of the hour, when a cutaway shot to the group biding their time in the studio featured Tyler singsongily announcing, "Good morning, America."

Sure, it could've just been a harmless salutation, but that's not the way Matt Lauer &Co. took it.
"No, no, no, no," Roker laughed. "That's why they haven't done morning television! They don't even know what show they're on!"
Something tells us he might've known exactly what he was doing.

Centering prayer meditation group at For Goodness Sake
A new centering prayer meditation group will meet weekly on Fridays, 12:15-1 p.m. at For Goodness Sake in Truckee. Centering prayer is a Christian spiritual practice that seeks and#8220;heartfullnessand#8221; along with mindfulness. With roots in the ancient Christian contemplative tradition, centering prayer moves us towards emptying, silence in our deepest self, and opening to the divine presence. It can be transformative and healing when practiced over time.
Rev. Kathy Cornell Mahoney of Truckeeand#8217;s Church of the Mountains will facilitate the group. Participants will learn the principals of centering prayer and then practice the spiritual discipline as a group. An online sharing circle for ongoing reflection, encouragement and support will also be available to participants. The group will also explore wisdom concerning centering prayer by noted contemplatives like Cynthia Bourgeault, Thomas Merton and Thomas Keating. No experience with centering prayer is necessary and all are welcome.
Those interested are asked to call or email Church of the Mountains at 530-587-4407 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please leave your name and contact information so they may expect you.

On a gray and snowy morning marketers from the healthcare, finance and government sectors headed to the Swedish American Institute in downtown Minneapolis for a MIMA event titled Interactive Innovation in Highly Regulated Industries.
Moderated by Melissa Berggren of Allina Health, the panel of experts included Marti Nyman, Director of Innovation and Strategy at UnitedHealth Group, Ward Tongen, Principal Digital Marketing Strategist at Medtronic and Kelli Carlson-Jagersma, Collaboration-Strategist VP, Wholesale Social Strategy at Wells Fargo.
Gaining approval on marketing strategies, content and tactics within highly regulated industries can be rife with challenges. Including regulation from governing bodies and documents (like HIPPA, the FDA and the SEC), resistance from your compliance and legal departments, and a 'we can't do that' attitude when it comes to innovation.

Yes, yes, we were all hoping Miyamoto would surprise us with a follow-up to Twilight Princess — but in lieu of a new Legend of Zelda announcement, here are some Spirit Track screens.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is a Phantom Hourglass-flavored adventure for the Nintendo DS and DSi. Players take Link by train through puzzles that involve manipulating speed, avoiding obstacles and firing a cannon or blowing a whistle to keep enemies or wild animals off the track.
There's also an action element where Link's new companion — a suit of armor called Phantom — comes into play. Players can direct him with the stylus to carry Link to various places, walk through lava or fire, or just block for Link as he runs past enemies. Expect a bunch of new weapons as well; the press release mentions the Whirlwind, something that requires players blow into the DS or DSi mic. Oh, and the map notation system is back, too.

Much of today's effort has been devoted to trying to tie down my connection to the Doleman family. My grandfather Jonathan Doleman Webb had several Doleman "cousins" in Amble in Northumberland, but I have been unable to work out exactly where the relationship lies. I cannot find any appropriate Webb-Doleman marriages to tie the connection to his paternal line or Davis-Doleman marriages to tie it to his maternal line. I have now traced the Amble Doleman line back to Bilston in Staffordshire in the hope that this may shed some light.

Obscure occupations – chape filer
John Doleman, born about 1776 in Bilston, Staffordshire was working as a chape filer at age 75. Never having heard of a chape before, I had to investigate further and have now concluded that he filed metal buckles. I learn something new every day through my genealogy research.

Life Science: Session 4
Plant Life Cycles
Learning Goals
During this session, you will have an opportunity to build understandings to help you:
- Describe the stages in the life cycle of a flowering plant
- Compare the plant and animal life cycles
Video Overview
Which life forms reproduce at a distance, give rise to offspring miles away and even after death, trick other living things into helping them reproduce, and encourage predators to eat their young as part of their life cycle? Plants! During Session 4, we'll continue our study of life cycles by focusing on the Plant kingdom, using flowering plants as our examples. During this session, you'll have a chance to see how different the life cycles of plants are from those of animals–as well as how similar.
Video Outline
Our study of plant life cycles begins with the obvious: seeds! Nancy Landes, representing Science T.R.A.C.S. from the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS), tells us of research findings on children's ideas, which indicate that children often think that seeds aren't alive. The question "What will it become?" helps launch children into an exploration of life cycles. Our Science Studio children tackle this question as they discuss different plant life stages.
During this session, we hear from several guests. Dan Cousins, the head grower at a large nursery, focuses on the role of seeds in plant reproduction. As we move to an exploration of flowers, Dr. Dan Scheirer, a forensic botanist, shares his understandings of the role of pollen. Dr. Judith Sumner, who researches the role of plants in human culture, describes an intriguing feature of plant life cycles: alternation of generations. She also highlights the challenges that plants face in reproduction–pollinationanddispersal–and how flowers and fruits have evolved to provide some solutions.
We return to Lakewood, Colorado, to visit Sally Florkiewicz's third-grade class as they investigate plant life cycles with Science T.R.A.C.S. They're at a point where the question "Where do seeds come from?" finds them forming hypotheses to be tested later as the plants they are observing complete their life cycles. Finally, Dr. Paul Williams gives us a peek at events taking place in our Bottle Biology systems, including butterflies that have emerged from chrysalises to become partners in completing the life cycle of a plant.

Etihad Airways to launch double daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Malaysia
Etihad Airways will add a new daily flight between Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur to offer a double daily service from July 15, 2013.
The new schedule will add 1400 new seats per week to the route – an increase in capacity of approximately 23 per cent. It will enable Etihad Airways to offer better flight connections to its global network and to foster the growth of tourism and trade.
Etihad Airways' President and Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said the new double daily flights would cater for the already significant and growing demand for passenger air travel and cargo between Malaysia and Abu Dhabi and beyond to the GCC, the Middle East and Europe.
"We have enjoyed strong support from business and leisure travellers at both ends of the route. More than one million passengers have travelled with Etihad Airways to and from Malaysia since the commencement of services in January 2007.
"The airline's new double daily schedule caters for the growing demand for travel between Abu Dhabi and Malaysia and gives our guests a greater choice of travel times.
"Malaysian travellers will enjoy shorter connection times in Abu Dhabi and more convenient onward travel to Europe. Travellers from other points on Etihad Airways' network will benefit from the extra daily frequency to Malaysia and improved connections in Abu Dhabi."
Mr Hogan also highlighted the opportunities to grow business travel and trade as a result of the increase in frequency and seat and cargo capacity.
"The United Arab Emirates is Malaysia's most important partner in the Gulf region with trade increasing by approximately 20 per cent between 2011 and 2012. The extra belly hold capacity of the double daily services will provide significant new opportunities for the airline's highly successful freight division, Etihad Cargo."
The double daily flights will be operated by two Airbus A330-200 aircraft with a two-class configuration of 18 seats in business class and 236 in economy class. The aircraft will come into service through a dry lease arrangement with partner airline, Jet Airways.
Etihad Airways' current codeshare agreement with Malaysia Airlines will be extended to the extra daily service, providing seamless connectivity beyond the airlines' respective Abu Dhabi and Kuala Lumpur hubs.
