21st Century Transportation
Two stars of the hit show Mad Men teamed up with OSPIRG and the humor website Funny or Die to produce a video, Mad Fast Trains, pitching high-speed rail.
Improving passenger rail is an essential step to keeping commuters and commerce moving in Oregon and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Already, rising gas prices and rush hour traffic are straining Oregon commuters' pocketbooks, patience and productivity. And with more than a million new residents expected to move to the state over the next twenty years, these problems will only worsen.
Inconvenient schedules and frequent delays prevent most Oregonians from using the Amtrak train between Eugene and Seattle. But state officials estimate that ridership in Oregon would double with only modest improvements to the existing rail service.
A faster, more reliable train would not only give commuters a better choice to get around the Willamette Valley, it could also save taxpayers money. The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates that the projected decrease in highway traffic from faster and more reliable rail service could save Oregon as much as $20 billion in fuel savings, fewer car accidents, and reduced highway maintenance.
OSPIRG is advising the state on how to fund critical improvements and teaming up with business leaders, local officials, and the public to persuade lawmakers on the merits of improving rail service.

Surgery gives long-term help for obese diabetics
WASHINGTON (AP) — New research is boosting hopes that weight-loss surgery can put some patients' diabetes into remission for years and perhaps in some cases, for good.
Longer follow-up from a major study shows that stomach-reducing operations are better than medications for treating "diabesity," the deadly duo of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. Millions of Americans have this and can't make enough insulin or use what they do make to process food.
After three years, blood-sugar levels were normal in 38 percent and 25 percent of two groups given surgery, but in only 5 percent of those treated with medications.
Doctors won't call it a cure because they can't guarantee diabetes will never return, but they hope for long-term remission.
The study was discussed Monday at a cardiology conference in Washington.

- Quality and Safety: Medicines > Quality Assurance
- Quality and Safety: Medicines > The International Pharmacopoeia
(1999; 117 pages)
In 1975, the WHO Expert Committee on Specifications of Pharmaceutical Preparations recommended "General guidelines for the establishment, maintenance and distribution of chemical reference substances" (1). At that time these general guidelines were aimed at fostering greater collaboration and harmonization among various national and regional authorities responsible for collections of chemical reference substances. This aim is still relevant. The guidelines were initially drawn up for particular use by the WHO Collaborating Center for Chemical Reference Substances in Sweden, which provides International Chemical Reference Substances (ICRS). These substances are primarily intended for use with pharmacopoeial monographs included in The international pharmacopoeia (2).
It became evident that in order to meet particular national or regional pharmacopoeial requirements, it was necessary to establish chemical reference substances external to the WHO Collaborating Centre for Chemical Reference Substances. Another difficulty was to ensure prompt dispatch of the substances. Since the meticulous work of the WHO Collaborating Centre establishing the international collection would have to be duplicated in local or regional laboratories, guidelines were necessary to ensure the integrity of national or regional collections. In order to clarify the need for national and regional collections, the 1975 guidelines were reviewed and modified in 1982 (3). In view of refinements in pharmaceutical and analytical methods since then, the present revision was considered essential.
The purpose of having chemical reference substances is to achieve accuracy and reproducibility of the analytical results required by pharmacopoeial testing and pharmaceutical control in general. These substances are normally prepared and issued by the regional/national pharmacopoeial commission or the regional/national quality control laboratory on behalf of the drug regulatory authority. In the context of these guidelines, the general use of a chemical reference substance should be considered an integral part of a compliance-oriented monograph or test procedure used to demonstrate the identity, purity and content of pharmaceutical substances and preparations.
The establishment of chemical reference substances should be based on reports in which the results of analytical testing have been evaluated. These reports should subsequently be approved and adopted by a certifying body, normally the relevant pharmacopoeial committee or the drug regulatory authority. Such establishment can be on an international, national or regional basis. Each substance is generally established for a specific analytical purpose, defined by the issuing body. Its use for any other purpose becomes the responsibility of the user and a suitable caution is included in the information sheet accompanying a reference substance. The present guidelines are concerned with both primary and secondary chemical reference substances as defined below.
The preparation of a chemical reference substance should comply with the requirements for quality assurance systems, including principles of good manufacturing practices (GMP) and good control laboratory practices (4-6).
Adequate training programmes are also required. Both the WHO Collaborating Centre and other laboratories concerned with the evaluation and establishment of chemical reference substances give assistance in training, subject to the availability of resources.
Primary chemical reference substance
A designated primary chemical reference substance is one that is widely acknowledged to have the appropriate qualities within a specified context, and whose value is accepted without requiring comparison to another chemical substance.
Secondary chemical reference substance
A secondary chemical reference substance is a substance whose characteristics are assigned and/or calibrated by comparison with a primary chemical reference substance. The extent of characterization and testing of a secondary chemical reference substance may be less than for a primary chemical reference substance. This definition may apply inter alia to some substances termed "working standards".

When a Cape Kennedy space mission is interrupted by terrorists, Senator Stockwell (John Carter) turns to a massive computer for an analyzed report of which secret agents to trust with the case. The electronic brain suggests the Doll Squad, a crack team of highly trained female spies who are as beautiful as they are deadly. Their leader, Sabrina Kincaid (Francine York), is sent to round up the girls, but there's a mole in the Senator's organization, and the first two agents she contacts are murdered. Intelligence reports reveal that the head of the terrorist operation is Eamon O'Reilly (Michael Ansara), an ex-government agent and Sabrina's former lover. O'Reilly sends a carrier pigeon to the Senator with instructions to send back secret nuclear weapon plans, and threatens national disaster if he refuses. The mole is rooted out and the location of O'Reilly's secret island hideout is discovered, so Sabrina rounds up the rest of the Doll Squad and the ladies charter a boat. Once on shore, the girls are kidnapped, and O'Reilly explains his nefarious plans to Sabrina: He is going to spread bubonic plague across the civilized world and rule what is left with supreme power. But if she so desires, he'll inoculate her with the antidote and she will reign by his side as Queen. The Doll Squad fights back, using an arsenal of secret weapons, plastic explosives, and their own seductive charms to defeat O'Reilly's henchmen and save the world.~ Fred Beldin, All Movie Guide

MACON, Ga. – Ethan Summers has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts this past weekend for the Lipscomb men's soccer team, as announced by the league on Monday.
"Ethan plays such an important role on the team that doesn't always show up in the stats," Lipscomb head coach Charles Morrow said. "He does so much behind the scenes that goes without recognition and unseen. From a coaching perspective it is awesome to see a player like that have a day and really the year he is having."
Summers, a native of Ogden, Utah, scored his first two career goals in Sunday's 3-2 overtime victory over Oral Roberts. Summers also tacked on an assist in Friday's 3-2 loss to Elon.
The fifth-year senior's first career goal in 65 games was the equalizer in the 88th minute to help push the Bisons into the overtime period. In his second goal of the game Summers picked up the rebound off teammate Kyle Erickson's shot on goal and placed a diving header into the net for the Bisons overtime victory.
For the entire weekend, Summers had four shots placing three on target to go along with his two goals and one assist.
The honor is the first of Summers' career while William Morse of Florida Gulf Coast was named the Atlantic Sun Player of the Week.
"For a guy who has always found a place on the field in the starting 11 but really a role player in that 11, he is a big part of the success that we have," Morrow said. "It is always nice to have a player that does those things have a breakout weekend and year. We are absolutely happy for Ethan."
The Bisons return to the pitch in the Belmont Tournament on Friday with a 3:30 p.m. match against Bradley at E.S. Rose Park in Nashville.

Obama and Christie Photo-Op Sums Up Presidency
It has always been about image for our current president. He rode a wave of euphoria into office four years ago as a "Celebrity-in-Chief." The media and Hollywood have spent much time drooling over him. And this guy is now a pro at soaking up the adulation. Therefore, when he was invited by Gov. Chris Christie to tour storm damage in New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy....well, it was a no-brainer. It would provide a measure of much-needed relief from the momentum which Mitt Romney had generated since their first presidential debate a month ago.
Whenever the president's glamorous smile breaks forth, I have to remind myself that I am not looking at Denzel Washington. Barack Obama knows how to play for the camera, in spite of his rather angry and grumpy performances in the debates. When he is not forced to discuss substantive issues with a conservative, he seems to know how to whip out the charm and play his celebrity role quite well. His all-star status among the elites is built around his persona....not around any real results during the past four years.
In addition to the elites, the many others who are swayed by this White House celebrity are generally people who don't realize the true financial and social implications of the Obama presidency. These "groupie-like" followers seem to be in a trance when they fantasize about this man. It is almost identical to the way people gawk over Hollywood celebrities. The less the public knows about the personal views of movie stars, the more the average American tends to be drawn to their performances on the big screen. That is the way many Americans like it.
Celebrities are placed on a pedestal and most Americans don't like the idea of viewing their celebrities in a negative light. They prefer to imagine that everything a celebrity does is wonderful, perfect, and helpful to humanity. Obama plays up his celebrity appeal because he knows that celebrities in America can garner applause as long as they are seen as charming and larger than life. This flair now seems to be an ingrained aspect of his shtick.
A second theme that flows out of the Obama/Christie photo-op is one of buying your way into office by paying off the electorate. We could call this role "Santa Claus-in-Chief." Chris Christie simply did what so many others do when wanting a government handout....he fawned over Obama in an effort to get money from him for his state. That is one thing the President has a knack at pulling off....giving away as much of our money as possible. It advances his ideological agenda in the direction of socialism....and it generates more support and more votes for him politically. Who is going to vote against the person is who paying for your toys and even your personal expenses with America's credit card?
Despite the fact that his $800 billion stimulus failed, the president has not seemed to change his philosophy one iota. Obama sounds as convinced as ever that he can give his way out of this economic mess. As with Santa Claus, there always seem to be enough toys for everyone....so why stop giving them away now? Especially when it has made you so popular with those who don't know any better. Many voters are living in "la la land," so why burst their bubble and have them wake up from their dreaming? Especially if them waking up means that Santa has to give back the red suit and sleigh. (Or in this case, the presidential limo and Air Force One.)
In addition to "Celebrity-in-Chief" and "Santa Claus-in-Chief," the Obama/Christie photo-op demonstrates that we have an "Opportunist-in-Chief." The president knows when to make an appearance which will benefit him personally. He knows when to put himself in the limelight....even if it means hanging out with a well-known Republican. Interestingly, Obama showed no such interest during the past four years when it came to meeting with reporters....or meeting with Republicans. They were almost always snubbed by the president. He seemed far more interested in golfing than in meeting with any reporters or Republicans. Now all of a sudden, he and Chris Christie appear to be bosom buddies. What gives? It's just another day in the life of the "Opportunist-in-Chief."
Chris Christie has his own reasons (maybe a 2016 run himself?) for wanting to have such a public display of affection with the president. In doing so, he has played into all three of the president's most persistent traits. First, he gave the celebrity a national stage upon which to perform. Secondly, he gave the Santa Claus figure an opportunity to be seen as willing to give a present to everyone in New Jersey. And thirdly, he provided Obama with a timely opportunity to appear presidential just when his opponent seemed to be sealing the deal for the White House.
It is ironic how that photo-op at a time of national tragedy and human sorrow seems to actually sum up the past four years for this president. And yet even with the big bear hug which Christie and Obama gave one another....it is very probable that many voters will not forget the first debate....and it is almost certain they will not forget the past four years.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, could a photo-op be worth another four years? Or will voters see it for what it really is....and decide that they are not going to vote for image this time around....but rather, go with substance and real change instead. Whatever happens in this election, one thing is sure....there will be plenty more photo-ops in the days ahead for our next Commander-in-Chief.

Logan's Room
Name: Logan (18 months)
Location: San Francisco, CA
Color Inspiration: The inspiration was black shadows on bright colors. Using a flat black paint can make the object's (toy shelf and dresser) shapes more pronounced. When Logan was very small I felt it was a good way to observe his surroundings with his more limited eye sight. Now that he is a little older the durability of a high quality black paint is really paying off. The use of apple green and teal blue I feel are very gender neutral colors. Also are calming and fun.
Tip for Using Color: My tip for using color is to remember the color chips are very small. Either gets lots of paint chips and tape them together or do a mock-up (the best). Almost always the color seems brighter than you may hope. Look at the surrounding finishes. The cherry floor could make your white wall look pink. the opposite color will be pulled out.
Colors Used: I used Benjamin Moore Aura Spa for this room. I like that you can get a matte finish that is still scrub-able. Also, we use a humidifier when he is not feeling well. This leave a lot of condensation that the Aura Spa is great for.
Thanks for your colorful entry Jeni and good luck!
What's at stake? Bragging rights AND $1000 worth of prizes from P'kolino!

20 Children's Books About Differences
Back to School meant a big talk about differences in my home. Last year my red-headed 6-year-old who had been mocked for the color of his hair suddenly took revenge and made fun of a child who is particularly short. Besides having a talk about it, I thought we needed some reinforcement from books which, for him, helps the principles of our family values sink in.
We've been able to purchase some, borrow some from the library and then there are several we'd love to have. We'd like our kids to understand tolerance and difference, that we're all the same despite our different skin colors, cultural background, different family types, heights, weights, skills, etc.

During his first month as governor, Andrew Cuomo moved aggressively to deliver on his vital campaign pledge to build a "New New York."
During his first month as governor, Andrew Cuomo moved aggressively to deliver on his vital campaign pledge to build a "New New York."
We were pleased that the governor made the first bill of his administration a measure to cap real property taxes at 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. Days later, the state Senate overwhelmingly passed the bill with bipartisan support.
We were hopeful that the bill would have received the same support in the lower house. However, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari recently said that property tax relief is not an immediate priority, and indicated that the issue should be addressed after the state budget is enacted.
The governor can force action on a property tax cap by including his proposal in his budget amendments, which are due in early March. Last June, as attorney general, Cuomo publicly called on Gov. David Paterson to include a property tax cap in his budget extender bills.
Then-Attorney General Cuomo was correct in pushing this process last year, and Unshackle Upstate is calling on Gov. Cuomo to do something very similar and include his property tax cap bill in his 30-day budget amendments.
The widespread support for a real property tax cap is evident. A January Siena Research Institute poll found that 83 percent of New Yorkers support a property tax cap. The bill passed the Senate with support from all parts of the state, including New York City. Several senior Assembly Democrats have come out in support of a property tax cap, including Assemblyman Joe Morelle and Assemblyman Robin Schimminger. Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb has indicated that the entire membership of his conference – now 51 members – support the 2 percent property tax cap.
This year, the governor is attempting to cut spending, and proposes reducing aid to local governments. If there is no property tax cap in place, these local governments – now looking for new revenue – may simply raise property taxes on homeowners and businesses to make up for the loss of funding from Albany.
We cannot allow this tax shift to happen.
The taxpayers and businesses of New York cannot afford any further delays and uncertainty; it is time to deliver on the promise of property tax relief. Gov. Cuomo has shown true leadership on this issue by making a property tax cap one of his top priorities. Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos has done his part by putting the bill on the Senate floor for a vote. Since the Assembly has not yet followed suit, Gov. Cuomo has the power and responsibility to make this issue a part of the budget discussion and get it enacted into law.
We will continue our fight and advocacy for a property tax cap of 2 percent in the halls of the Capitol and in the communities throughout the state. Our efforts will not stop until real property tax relief is delivered to residents and businesses of this state.
Brian Sampson is executive director of Unshackle Upstate, a bipartisan coalition of more than 80 business and trade organizations representing upward of 70,000 companies and employing more than 1.5 million people. It is based in Rochester.

"In the first half we got away from our game plan and created silly fouls, but we came out in the second half and did a much better job. As a result we were able to get back in the match," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "Wofford thrives on set pieces and mistakes, and unfortunately we make two mistakes and they made us pay for them. Our guys responded very well and showed a lot of heart."
The game was tight in the first half as both teams had several scoring opportunities, but neither team could convert on their chances as the game remained scoreless at the half. The Terriers outshot the Bucs 8-6 in the half, while ETSU had a 4-2 advantage in corners.
In the 58th minute, Wofford took a 1-0 lead as Moe Kelli intercepted a Buccaneer pass in front of the ETSU goal and fired a shot into the back of the net. The Terriers didn't waste anytime adding to their lead as Yakov Rubinchik found a wide open Alex Hutchins who beat the ETSU keeper to make the score 2-0 Wofford in the 62nd minute.
The Bucs missed out on a couple chances later in the half, but were finally able to get on the board in the 73rd minute as Conrad McCue (Round Rock, Texas) knocked home the rebound from a Jaron Westbrook (Round Rock, Texas) shot to cut the Terrier lead to 2-1.
ETSU got the equalizer in the 77th minute as Sean Hoek (
The game remained 2-2 at the end of regulation sending the game into overtime. In the first overtime, the Bucs outshot Wofford 2-0, but could not get the game winner.
Late in the second overtime, the Terriers went a man down after Paulo Bonfim picked up his second yellow card of the match. ETSU put some pressure on the Terrier defense by firing a couple shots late in the period, but the game ended in a 2-2 tie.
"I am proud of our guys for never giving up and fighting the entire match," Calabrese said. "In the end, we still had a chance to win despite going down 2-0, and you have to be pretty happy with that."
ETSU outshot Wofford 25-12 in the match, while both teams had six corners apiece. Scott Rosman (
The Bucs are back in action Friday at 5 p.m. against VMI at home. For more information on Buccaneer men's soccer and all other Buccaneer athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

PEORIA — The relocation of public housing residents to the former Greeley School and proposed "scholar house" could displace some neighbors in a halfway house across the street.
The 28-bed halfway house run by the Human Service Center is separated from the proposed development site by Evans Street. Since 2012, the building at 1005 NE Jefferson Ave. has served as transitional housing for federal offenders, some of whom are prohibited by law from residing within 500 feet of a school or park.
Proposed zoning changes, including a special use for a school at the first site for Taft Homes redevelopment, could jeopardize the $6.5 million contract the Human Service Center has with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
"We were supportive of the project until we learned they were going to provide a day care center in the old Greeley School," said Michael Kennedy, vice president of Human Service Center.
Federal offenders who plan to reside within 100 miles of Peoria are eligible to serve the final 10 percent of their sentence at the halfway house, with close monitoring and access to services that help them transition to civilian life. The center opened in fall 2012 after Greeley School closed, with the understanding that District 150, the owner of the property, did not intend to reopen a school at the site.
"Our job is to take these individuals, monitor, assist, and get them the things that you and I do every day — jobs, education, access to medical care and housing," Kennedy said.
The issue first came up at a recent meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Brenda Coates, CEO of the PHA, said the staff has been working to come up with alternatives that wouldn't disrupt the operations of the Human Service Center, but an alternative plan had yet to develop.
"As a result, our team has been working — even up through this afternoon — has been discussing what other alternatives there are," Coates said. "We don't have an answer today, but we're brainstorming."
According to the Illinois sex offender online registry, 11 sex offenders list 1005 NE Jefferson Ave. as their address. PHA officials requested a list of all sex offenders in the area, which showed four sex offenders at that address.
If the "scholar house" concept is implemented and a day care center is created across the street, those offenders would be prohibited from living in such close proximity, which directly conflicts with the "zero-reject" contract the Service Center holds.
"They were willing to make provisions that these people who can't be located there would be sent to a different halfway house, so potentially that would allow me to operate for the next three years. The problem is that it's an application every five years," Kennedy said. "That obviously leaves me with some concern because of our investment, and we'd like to continue our contract with the Bureau of Prisons."
The Human Service Center is supportive of the redevelopment of Taft Homes, as the populations served by the service center and the PHA overlap, Kennedy said, but he became actively involved when the concept expanded to include day care services.

Fresh on the heels of a delay in broad availability of Windows Vista, Microsoft confirmed late Thursday that it is also pushing the mainstream launch of Office 2007 to next year. As with Vista, Microsoft hopes to finish the code for Office 2007 this year. The company said work will be completed by October, when it will make Office 2007 available to business customers that have signed up for Microsoft's volume-licensing program. And, again like Vista, Microsoft plans to ship retail and original equipment manufacturer versions of the product in January. UPDATE: Microsoft has joined a committee that has a key role in the ratification of the OpenDocument format as an international standard.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — It wasn't easy to tear myself away from the incredible skiing terrain at the Big Sky Resort in southwestern Montana. But when the opportunity to visit Yellowstone National Park by snow coach and view bubbling geysers, elk, eagles, bison and other critters dusted with snow popped up, I couldn't pass it up. Even my son, Matthew the snowboarder, said we should go for it.
Our adventure began with a 50-mile drive from Big Sky to West Yellowstone's Three Bear Lodge, where we hopped into an odd-looking rig that had skis on the front instead of tires and tracks instead of rear wheels.
Wayne Fleming, who grew up in Yosemite National Park, was our guide and driver for the day, and we were soon zooming over the snow on our way to Old Faithful. Actually, we were going about 25 mph; it just seemed fast on the snow.
Yellowstone: In the Dec. 9 Travel section, a map with an article about Yellowstone National Park incorrectly placed West Yellowstone and Madison Junction. Here are the correct locations: —
We entered the park through the big west gate, turned right and traveled along the Madison River. We saw several bison in the distance and then came to a pair of trees on either side of the road where two majestic eagles were perched.
Apparently bored, one of the eagles appeared to yawn for a moment or two.
Down the road a bit, a pair of elk lounged in the snow, eating dry grass. Not far away were two big white trumpeter swans overwintering in the park.
About 3.4 million people visited Yellowstone in 2011, with the vast majority coming during the summer. (President Obama and his family made the trip the year before.)
On a winter's day, the crowds are gone and visitors can be numbered in the hundreds, nearly all of them in snow coaches, on snowmobiles or cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
After about an hour into our trip, we stopped at Madison Junction for hot chocolate and muffins. I felt sorry for what appeared to be a 5-year-old boy who had been riding on the back of his father's snowmobile. Even though he was bundled up, the temperature was near zero, and he was in tears, more than a little uncomfortable. Other kids in their group seemed to be doing fine.
We left Madison Junction, crossed the Gibbon River and headed up the Firehole River, a cascading stream named by famed mountain man Jim Bridger. It offered one waterfall after another. Soon we were out of the narrow lava canyon and into gentle terrain where numerous geysers were blowing off steam.
Fleming let us off to walk among the Fountain Paint Pots, named by explorers who thought the colorful mud pots looked like vats of paint. Bison grazed not far from here, seemingly oblivious to the human visitors on the boardwalks.
Along the Firehole River, hot water from thermal pools tumbled into the stream, sending up huge clouds of steam and obscuring river and geysers.
By noon, we had made it to Old Faithful, where we cruised around the beautiful visitors center and learned about the geology, flora, fauna and human history of the park.
Then, shivering in the cold (I did not have on enough layers), we listened to a lecture by park ranger Carolyn Loren, who explained how Old Faithful got its name and why it goes off nearly every hour — give or take 20 minutes — shooting 200-degree water in the air nearly 185 feet for as long as five minutes.
I froze my face off waiting for Old Faithful, but it was worth the shivering.
After lunch, we hopped back in the snow coach and Fleming drove us to the Kepler Cascades, another beautiful waterfall, on the Firehole River south of Old Faithful.
Soon we were at the Midway Geyser Basin, hiking across the Firehole up to the big Excelsior Geyser. In the 1880s, it shot steam up to 300 feet in the air, but huge eruptions then damaged the geyser's lining, allowing the loss of thermal energy. Today, it's a thermal spring that pumps 4,000 gallons per minute into the Firehole.
We trekked over the sometimes slippery boardwalk by the big thermal pool as steam billowed around us, obscuring our vision. My sunglasses frosted over and for a moment, I was stranded, pretty much blinded, afraid to move forward or backward, wondering when the fog would lift.
Then I took off my glasses, and I could see again. Whew.
Onward we hiked to my two favorite thermal pools, the aquamarine Opal and Turquoise. They looked like big hot tubs, and I was reminded of hot springs along the Middle Fork of the Salmon River in neighboring Idaho. After a hard day of whitewater kayaking, it was sublime to hop in a thermal pool.
In the snow coach once again, we soon were cruising along the Madison River, where we saw more bison, more elk and a pair of eagles hanging out on perches above the river. Neither of them yawned this time.
Soon we were back in West Yellowstone, getting ready to return to Big Sky. But I'm already planning another winter return to the park. Only next time, I plan to ski to the yurts near the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone for a few days of backcountry touring.

HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway inspired by UNDP's efforts in HaitiOct 31, 2012
UNDP Goodwill Ambassador, HRH Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and the Minister of International Development, H. E. Mr. Heikki Holmås today ended a three-day visit to Haiti. They met with Haitian authorities, Haitian people and members of the civil society.
Port-au-Prince - During his first visit to Haiti, the Crown Prince of Norway was impressed by the dynamics and resourcefulness of Haitian communities to rebuild their cities and their economy.
"Progress on recovery is undoubtedly being made, but Haiti still faces a number of challenges to its recovery and development. I strongly believe that these challenges can be resolved with the leadership of the Haitian authorities, the engagement of the Haitian people and the continued support of Haiti's international partners", said Crown Prince Haakon on Wednesday.
UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Crown Prince Haakon and H. E. Mr. Heikki Holmås visited several sites in the southern region of Haiti and in the capital Port-au-Prince. During their stay in the South, they visited riverbank management sites in Chantal where the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) helped build gabion walls that contributed to protect schools, communities, farmlands, harvests and critical infrastructure during Hurricane Sandy that hit Haiti last week.
"Norway has been actively engaged in Haiti through contributions since 2010. We are very pleased to see this money was able to reduce the communities' vulnerability and reinforce their resilience to face disasters. We are committed to continue to support long-term efforts in Haiti", said the Norwegian Minister.
In Port-au-Prince, the delegation had the opportunity to walk in urban areas newly rehabilitated using recycled debris. Close to 80 per cent of the 10 million cubic metres of rubble caused by the earthquake has been removed by Haitians and supported by the international community. Thirty per cent of these were recycled and transformed into non‐structural building materials out of which memorials, stairs, corridors and public squares have been created.
The UNDP-led initiatives have generated 20,000 temporary jobs for thousands of people suffering from unemployment. Within reconstruction and employment programmes, the Goodwill Ambassador and the delegation also visited one of the community reconstruction centers. This Government of Haiti-UNDP programme has been empowering quake-affected communities in Port-au-Prince and the western town of Léogâne to directly take charge of house reparations, with engineering assessments and construction trainings. So far, more than 6,200 houses that were damaged by the earthquake have been evaluated by the project team of engineers and 4,500 participants have taken part in training courses on seismic resistant construction and rehabilitation techniques.
"The images of the devastating earthquake of 12 January 2010 will forever be etched in my memory. But on this visit, my focus is on the progress being made by the Haitian people with the support of international partners, to get Haiti up and running again. I reaffirm both UNDP and Norway's strong and long-term commitment to working with the government and people of Haiti on the achievement of their national development goals", said UNDP Goodwill Ambassador.
To wrap up his visit, Crown Prince Haakon will visit downtown Port-au-Prince to understand the challenges of relocating internally displaced communities through the 16 camps/6 neighbourhoods project. This pilot initiative has enabled 11,000 families to go back to their neighbourhoods of origin and aims at offering improved living conditions in these neighbourhoods through the rehabilitation of basic services such as roads, water points, electricity and public spaces. The project also includes support to the Haitian Government's Provider Development Programme which aims at boosting private sector competitiveness and productivity while also helping to build a chain of quality local providers on the Haitian market. The overall objective is to promote decent and sustainable long-term jobs to Haitian women and men.
Crown Prince Haakon of Norway has been a dedicated and knowledgeable UNDP Goodwill Ambassador since 2003 with ambitions to help close the gap between the rich and the poor worldwide. Advocating for progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is at the core of Crown Prince Haakon's UNDP engagement. He has used his Ambassador status to express that even though development is a long-term process, the international community has to live up to the promise of achieving the MDGs by 2015.
Norway's contribution to Haiti includes concrete long-term rehabilitation measures for the protection of vulnerable groups, facilitating dialogue in the process of reconstruction, disaster prevention, sustainable management of natural resources and renewable energy. Norway cooperates with governments, the United Nations, the Inter-American Development Bank and regional actors such as Brazil, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Norway is a member of the Haiti Reconstruction Fund.
Norway has contributed greatly to the reconstruction of Haiti after the earthquake. Through UNDP Haiti, Norway has funded projects for over 18 million dollars, in particular related to disaster risk reduction and environmental protection and specific areas such as clean energy and gender equality. The funding made available from Norway has for instance helped the Haitian government prepare for the cyclone season, coordinating the response effectively as was demonstrated during Hurricane Isaac and Sandy; it has enabled the protection of populations from flooding in the South and enabled the reforestation of over 800 hectares of land.Contact information

I've been writing about wine for 15 years now, mainly at Wine & Spirits, where I'm the Executive Editor and the wine critic for wines of Austria, Germany, Hungary, Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. I also contribute a regular column on wine and cheese to Culture, The Word on Cheese, and profile chefs such as Lydia Bastianich, David Chang, Rick Bayless, John Besh, Tyler Florence and Jacques Pépin (to name just a few) for Real Food.In addition to those regular gigs, I've written for everything from Gastronomica to Everyday with Rachel Ray, and penned a couple of books (see below). Where ever you find my writing, you'll see that I have no patience for pretentious prose and can't stand wine snobs. My goal is to make reading about wine as easy and enjoyable as drinking it, regardless how much you know.
Appearances Right now, I'm in Ontario, Canada, tracking the elusive Great Canada Gamay (I've tasted it and it exists), among other cool-climate joys. In March, I'll be heading to Thessaloniki for DETROP, Greece's largest wine trade fair, and will spend some time in nearby Naoussa. Then I'll be sticking close to home to sit on the panel of the Ultimate Wine Challenge, closely followed by Wine & Spirits Top of the List Tasting—an incredible event of great wine and food from some of NY's best new restaurants. I'll let you know when tickets go on sale.As usual, summer means Hamburg, Germany, for another attempt at mastering the language, the vineyards, the beers and the incredible variety of sausages.
Books Check out my second edition of the Complete Idiot's Guide to Wine Basics. It's truly not for idiots; I've packed it with enough information that there's something for everyone in it. In this edition, I've completely renovated the food and wine pairing section, making it far more user-friendly; updated the information on Spain, which has exploded with fabulous (and often inexpensive) wines in the past few years; and added a section on organic, biodynamic and sustainably grown wines, which have become an important—and confusing—segment of the market. All the wine recommendations have been updated as well (and the aroma wheel is no longer upside-down!).
Articles From sake to sommelier interviews, Grüner Veltliner to Zinfandel, I write on all sorts of wines and trends. In addition to the Denver Post and Wine & Spirits magazine, my work has appeared in Gastronomica, Clear, Real Food, and Golf Connoisseur, as well as The Philadelphia Enquirer, The Charlotte Observer, and many other newspapers and magazines across the country.
Freelance writing Need a piece on great organically-farmed wines? Or the up-and-coming wines of Greece? Or just a list of ten greats? Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll talk.
Consulting With a degree from the Culinary Institute of America (Hyde Park) and experience in both the front and back of the house coupled with my knowledge of the wine industry today, I'm well prepared to help you shape your wine list into an exciting, profitable one.

PENSACOLA� Rainy and windy weather greeted competitors at Friday's District 1-3A track and field meet at Booker T. Washington High School. Conditions were tough for the most experienced track athletes, but for a young Crestview High School squad amid a rebuilding year, things were especially tough.
PENSACOLA� Rainy and windy weather greeted competitors at Friday's District 1-3A track and field meet at Booker T. Washington High School.
Conditions were tough for the most experienced track athletes, but for a young Crestview High School squad amid a rebuilding year, things were especially tough.
Photo gallery >>> The Crestview High School track and field team competed at the District 1-3A meet Friday
The Bulldogs finished 10th out of 14 teams in the girls meet with 21 points. Crestview boys finished in 13th place with 17 points. Pine Forest won the girls and boys meets.
Two Crestview senior girls qualified for Thursday's region 1-3A meet at Tallahassee Chiles. Kerrie York took third in the high jump, going 4-feet-10 inches. Jasmine Horne was fourth in the long jump with a leap of 16-3.
Jaylynne Robinson narrowly missed qualifying in the boys 100-meter as he finished in fifth place.
Results didn�t surprise Bulldog track and field coach Ernie Martin.
"We are not very senior-laden this year," he said. We had six senior track athletes this year, and that's boys and girls. I was really lower-grade heavy this year.
"I had a lot of ninth- and 10th-graders out. Hopefully, we will be able to keep them out so we can keep building our program. We kind of had a down cycle on the older kids."
Martin � who was pleased that York and Horne qualified for the regional meet � said he was expecting big things from them.
"Last year we only carried one to regional, and this year we are taking two," he said. "That's a small gain and I understand that, but we are improving."
Earlier this month, the Bulldog junior varsity track teams made a strong showing at the Okaloosa County meet with Crestview winning the girls and taking second in the boys.
"That kind of gives you an idea of where our strength lies in our numbers for the future," Martin said. "We should be highly competitive in the varsity ranks for years to come.
"It was kind of down this year, but hopefully this time next year we will be loading up a charter bus and taking quite a few to the regional meet. We are looking for great things to come out of this in the future. The future looks bright for track at Crestview High."

From the outset of this blog entry, I have to confess that this chicken tractor was a joint project between me and my husband. And when I say "joint", I mean that I came up with the general design and my husband implemented it. I almost hate to post it as my first entry, since I lamed out on in a considerable way on this particular project, but the chicken tractor ended up being so cool in the end, that I have to get it out there. Plus, I am going to finish off the rest of the project: nesting boxes with easy access to the eggs and wintertime (removable?) insulation.
What is a chicken tractor, you ask? Why chickens might be another question that any reasonable urban dweller would ask of another urban dweller who has chosen to bring an animal into his or her backyard that has historically been sequestered to more agricultural settings. To answer the second question: there is a whole movement call "urban farming" that I won't get into here. But raising a handful of chickens in your own backyard is definitely part of the concept. Back to the first question: a chicken tractor is simply a moveable chicken coop/pen. Chickens in a "chicken tractor" convert your kitchen scraps to rich garden fertilizer (manure), fertilize your lawn, one area at a time, get up to 30% of their nutrients from fresh grass (since they will not have worn down their enclosed pen area to dirt if they are moved every few days), get a lot of nice protein that is passed on to their eggs from bugs, and, oh yeah, supply the family with fresh eggs!
But the biggest reason to have chickens is for the kiddos. They love them. The love holding them, taking care of them. And they will really benefit from fresh eggs and the simple "chores" of fetching them.
I have always wanted chickens, and since Manhattan passed an ordinance last spring to allow chickens, we decided to jump in this spring. Here are some shots of the process and the finished product. Which again, I must confess, are most of my husband's work with a lot of design input from me. I will step in to finish the nesting boxes and insulation. (I am receiving organic wool insulation from a place up in the highline in Montana next week. (www.montanagreeninsulation.com.))

Wow, that's a great idea. Looks cool, too!
How often do you move it to a new spot? How do you move it?
Every couple of days. We lift with our legs ;)

The Taff family recently participated in Cruise With A Cause to Jamaica. Billed as "the world's largest missionary trip,' 3075 people from all over the country visited schools in and around Montego Bay and delivered over 8 tons of free school supplies. Over 21,000 decisions for Christ were made!
One thought on "Cruise With A Cause"
A few things to say: What a lovely family. I'm writing because God used you to make a huge difference in my family. My son, a little fellow, standing at your feet at Night of Joy, years ago, made a decision at your "and if you've already asked Jesus into your heart, you need to follow Him in believer's baptism" looked up at me and eyes said, "he's talking to me, mama." Today he is beautiful, married with 2 children and has sung all around the United States many times, Cut a few CDs, (old days, tapes) and has many fun inspirational stories to tell. I've seen all kinds of kids bow down and except Jesus at their savior. He has recently been honored with an invitation to CMT in NY. We had "Medals" and learned about you meeting Tori and were happy for you. As years have gone by, my Godly mother has aged and now at 88 yrs old she cried watching Gather's (TimeLife) on TV. I surprised her with the whole set and on playing the first one I recognized you immediately and told her the story of Eric's baptism. What a fun reunion! You are much loved by your fans and when we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be! Singing together. In Christ, Kathie

CHARLOTTESVILLE — The expectations are admittedly huge, and that's fine with Virginia coach Brian O'Connor.
O'Connor's baseball team used a six-run third inning en route to cruising to an eventual 11-3 win over Elon to capture the NCAA tournament's Charlottesville Regional on Sunday night.
"A lot had been made of the first two ballgames that they were all won on pitching and defense, but tonight, certainly we continued to pitch and play good defense but we had a tremendous offensive day collectively as a group," O'Connor said.
The Cavaliers, the No. 6 seed in the country, will host a super regional this weekend against the winner of the Starkville Regional, either host Mississippi State or Central Arkansas.
Virginia earned its 50th victory of the season (50-10) for the third time in four years, and moves on to the super-regional round of the postseason for the fourth time – all in the past five years. U.Va. joins just two other clubs (Florida and Florida State) that have gotten that far in four of the past five seasons.
The teams were facing each other for the second time in 24 hours -- U.Va. won 2-0 Saturday night -- and Elon fought back late to eliminate No. 2 seed UNC Wilmington 6-4 Sunday afternoon at Davenport Field.
"In every aspect of the game, from physical conditioning to mental conditioning, how your guys feel added on top of having guys and arms available," Elon coach Mike Kennedy said of his team's long day.
The third-seeded Phoenix put the home team in an early hole, as No. 3 hitter Ryan Kinsella – Elon's home run and RBI leader who was 0 for 12 for the regional coming in – smoked a shot into the "Hoo Zone" bleachers in left field to make it 2-0 in the top of the first. Right fielder Quinn Bower led off with a double on the second pitch of the game. It was Kinsella's 21st homer of the season, the second-highest total in the country.
Elon (34-30) added another run in the top half of the third on a two-out Casey Jones RBI double, but the Cavaliers' bats came alive in the bottom of the frame and remained hot.
U.Va. catcher Nate Irving got it started with a leadoff double down the right-field line in the home half of the third. Two batters later, senior first baseman Jared King's RBI double brought him around, and then after back-to-back walks loaded the bases, designated hitter Derek Fisher tied things up at 3-3 with a two-run single.
"We just kept it loose and played Virginia baseball," said Fisher, who was 0-for-23 career in the NCAA tournament prior to the important knock on Sunday night. He finished the contest 2 for 5 with three RBI.
Shortstop Nick Howard kept it going two batters after that with another two-run shot to make it 5-3, and then third baseman Kenny Towns scored Howard all the way from first with the third Cavalier double of the inning to make it 6-3.
"That just goes to show how great our team is, one through nine," said No. 7 hitter Howard, who had a career-best four hits Sunday (4 for 5, two RBI). "Any given night it could be anybody who gets a clutch hit or a clutch at-bat. I just think that goes to show how great our lineup is."
Added O'Connor of the offensive output after scoring just four combined runs coming in: "You know how competitive [Fisher] is and how much talent he has, so I just knew that it was a matter of time before a lot of those guys broke out and they've worked too hard to put themselves in this position. They want it too much for it not to go their way."
The Cavs added two more in the fourth and another in the fifth to make it 9-3, and Elon couldn't recover as the Cavaliers added a run in both the seventh and the eighth. A career night from Virginia left-handed freshman reliever David Rosenberger had a lot to do with that.
"I just tried to stay ahead of hitters and throw strikes, I wasn't really too concerned about when I was going to be [pulled] from the game or what the bullpen was doing," said Rosenberger. "I was just trying to focus on my game."
Rosenberger entered the contest in the fourth inning for starter Whit Mayberry (3.0 IP, 3 ER on 5 H) and kept the Phoenix off the board with a career-high four strikeouts – including fanning the side in the top of the seventh – to go with no walks and just two hits in his five innings, also a career best.
The Cavalier bullpen tossed 11 scoreless frames over the weekend. Offensively, six of U.Va.'s 11 runs were driven in with two outs.
Six Cavaliers made the all-regional team: Irving, Howard, Towns, Joe McCarthy, Scott Silverstein and Most Outstanding Player Kyle Crockett of Poquoson.

How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Thanks, I'm going to try to find The Island of Lost Maps. The New Yorker article was primarily about map thefts. I guess the monks had taken both books and maps.
I'd venture a guess and say it was probably Byz. Catholic monks, only because we didn't have a lot of monasteries at the time in the country, and I'm not sure if there was one near Yale at the time. I am sure that the only Greek-founded monastery was HTM, and it's a long trip from Boston to Yale to steal books, and a longer trip to investigate back to Boston.
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
