Skip to comments.Supreme Court to hear case concerning buffer zone at abortion clinics
Posted on 01/12/2014 7:34:39 AM PST by don-o
BOSTON Eleanor McCullen clutches a babys hat knit in pink and blue as she patrols a yellow semicircle painted on the sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood health clinic on a frigid December morning with snow in the forecast.
The painted line marks 35 feet from the clinics entrance and thats where the 77-year-old McCullen and all other abortion protesters and supporters must stay under a Massachusetts law that is being challenged at the U.S. Supreme Court as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. Arguments are set for Wednesday.
(Excerpt) Read more at timesnews.net ...
Now's the time for the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade and let the states regulate (and ban) abortions.
Why don't they force union protesters into the same situation? Rather than blocking an entrance to a factory, etc., force the union goons to march around in little circles too.
How about a buffer zone for the Black Panthers at polling places?
"Why dont they force union protesters into the same situation? Rather than blocking an entrance to a factory, etc., force the union goons to march around in little circles too."
I like it!
For a while this man was protesting in front of the local "woman's health clinic." He was unkempt and dressed in a ratty suit coat. His shoes were unmatched and he had some poorly made poster board signs. While I appreciate his screaming efforts, he didn't do anything positive for the cause. Several times I saw a deputy talking to him. He'd thump his hand on a bible in loud response. But he did maintain quite a distance from the building. Finally, he wasn't there anymore. Sad, really. I'd so much rather a nicely dressed woman with a few young kids.
Who speaks for the baby?? Not the SCOTUS that's certain.
And, in reality, the people standing outside are no different from a fireman preparing to rescue someone inside a burning building.
My first thought as well. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Why not you? I suggest you have a go at it. God Himself will provide you with the words to say.
But the aggressive beggar can get in your face because of his "constitutional rights".

RYHOPE CW manager Martin Swales welcomes the return of a quartet of players for tonight's Wearside League game at Coxhoe Athletic but neither Jack Pounder nor Lee Harrison can play.
On the plus side, though, he has Greg Swansbury, Michael Charlton, Phil Hall and Callum Charlton coming into contention while Chris Winn will almost certainly start if he comes through a late fitness test.
Secretary George McKitterick, meanwhile, is looking for volunteers to help on match days.
He said: "We need cover for the gateman and someone to prepare half-time drinks for players and officials. If anyone is interested I would like them to make themselves known to me at a home game."
Coxhoe Athletic have lost their opening three games following what joint manager Paul Charlton describes as "The hardest start we have had since joining the League".
It won't be any easier tonight especially as Neil Charlton, Mark Watson and captain Stephen Parnaby are definitely out.
To compound Coxhoe's problems, James Laidler and Ben Haddock are both rated doubtful and the availability of Brad Cane is also uncertain.
Sunderland West End are at home to Jarrow and manager Andy Colledge is pleased that Lee Smith has returned from holiday. He could also involve David Keighley and John Coomber at some stage. The pair have been sidelined for some time with injuries.
Jarrow are the highest scorers with 11 strikes in three games. They have Peter Kane back but leading scorer Grant Pressling is rated doubtful.
Horden CW have two wins and a draw from their opening three games as they look to make an immediate return to the Ebac Northern League. Their only absentee for the visit of Cleator Moor Celtic is James Huntley.
In contrast, Easington Colliery could make several changes to their line up when they take on Ashbrooke Belford House at Welfare Park.
New signing Tom Goundry is looking to start after making an impressive debut when he came off the bench on Saturday.
Assistant manager Craig Parkinson and boss Paul Frame add Farran Pope, Marc Stephenson, Adam Heath, Bryan Norton and Jordon Thompson to their squad but Rhys Weir and Michael Noble remain on the injury list.
Also unavailable are Ian Redman and David Henderson.
It's a case of three in and three out for Ashbrooke. Back come Kenny Taylor, Michael Melmore and Jack Moan and going out are Shaun Petch, David Christie and Mike Egglestone.
Boldon CA have yet to score in three attempts and at Gateshead Leam Rangers manager Jason Jones is hoping to include a new striker. Recent signing Conor Binney is expected to be named in goal.
Leam have also made a disappointing start, having scored just twice in three games. They suffered a six goals route at the weekend and are expected to line up new signing Terrence Cairns alongside Chris Lowther in defence. Striker Anthony Thompson though will need to undergo a pre-match fitness test.
Stockton Town are one of only two sides with 100 per cent record from three outings. The reigning champions have home advantage over Hartlepool and their chances of making it four wins on the bounce are enhanced by the inclusion of Adam Nicholson, Max Craggs, Tom Coulthard and Jair de Silva.
Pools are pleased that David Laight has rejoined the club and he will be considered along with the returning Stephen Chapman, Craig Lines, Paul Donaghy and Shannon Davis. An ankle injury keeps out Dan Naylor but Jack Nixon is hoping to shake off an injury to his knee.
Redcar Athletic are at Harton and Westoe. Manager Steve Connolly made eight changes at the weekend and is forced into making at least one tonight since Steve Swann is ruled out. James Kesterton, Alex Anderson or Adam Preston will replace him.
New signing Matthews Soulsby is expected to make his debut for Pudhoe Town at Annfield Plain when Gavin Lisle and Kai Hewitson will also come into the reckoning.
Richmond Town go to Wolviston without Scott Ryan, Josh Lincoln and Simon Pinkney. The Yorkshiremen add Chris Duckitt and Mike Layfield to their squad.

It is well known by all that are acquainted with the Art of Navigation, that nothing is so much wanted and desired at Sea, as the Discovery of the Longitude, for the Safety and Quickness of Voyages, the Preservation of Ships and the Lives of Men"
An Act for Providing a Publick Reward for such Person or Persons as shall Discover the Longitude at Sea, 1714
The archives of the Royal Greenwich Observatory, held in Cambridge University Library, include the complete run of the papers of the Board of Longitude through the eighteenth century until its abolition in 1828. These papers throw a vivid light on the role of the British state in encouraging invention and discovery, on the energetic culture of technical ingenuity in the long eighteenth century, and on many aspects of exploration and maritime travel in the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic.
A project funded by AHRC based at Cambridge University and the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, is studying and analyzing these papers and their significance. For an introduction to the project watch this special video on the history of the Board:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t61ZJuKPUoI and read the project blog: http://blogs.rmg.co.uk/longitude/ . Digitisation, metadata creation and the production of contextual resources have been funded by JISC - the project blog can be found at:https://longitude.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/
Simon Schaffer (Principal Investigator, AHRC Board of Longitude Project) and Sophie Waring (Graduate Student, AHRC Board of Longitude Project) introduce the meeting which marks the online release of the complete papers of the Board of Longitude 1714-1828, held at Cambridge University Library. The project has been supported by JISC and forms part of the Cambridge Digital Library. This remarkable digital archive consolidates resources held at Cambridge University Library as well the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, together with detailed metadata and contextual resources to place the material within a rich intellectual framework.

08 Jan SpiceJet Close To Ordering Boeing 737 MAX
Boeing is close to reaching an agreement for the sale of up 100 Boeing 737 MAX to Indian low-cost carrier Spicejet.
Airbus and Boeing head-to-head for order
Boeing and Airbus went head-to-head to win the order. According to Bloomberg, Boeing is close to signing a deal for 92 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft valued at $10.1B.
The order is an important one for Boeing as Airbus currently dominates the Indian market, one of the biggest markets with the highest growth rates.
In recent years Airbus has sold over 150 aircraft to GoAir and and over 400 aircraft to low-cost carrier Indigo.
SpiceJet currently operates a fleet with 42 aircraft, mostly Boeing 737 aircraft and already has 45 jets on order. The order for almost 100 aircraft should help the low-cost carrier to meet demand.

The Art of Learning
Written by Josh Waitzkin
This book went instantly into one of my favorite non-fiction book list. Waitzkin is an American Chess Champion turned Tai-Chi and Ju-Jitsu World Champion.
Over the years, he took an interest into deconstructing how he managed to learned seemingly different skills and develop them until reaching world-class level. This book is about his journey and the lessons he got out of it.
If you are into deconstructing knowledge, bettering your learning skills or… if you have young kids and you are wondering how to handle their possible gifts, this is for you.

If Brando had played Hamlet...
An engaging book on the merits and foibles of the stars of the silver screen
Actors are like cattle, or so Alfred Hitchcock is reported to have contemptuously said, though if you're to believe the front cover of David Thomson's new book, they're more like apes - Caesar from Planet of the Apes in close-up stares out reproachfully at the reader.
The London-born, California-based Thomson, who's long been the best of movie commentators, has a thing about actors. He's the author of an adoring - indeed, too adoring - book about Nicole Kidman. And in his indispensable Biographical Dictionary of Film (a factually accurate title that entirely undersells its often contrarian views), he's lavish in his praise of favoured performers.
Here he is on Robert Mitchum, a man who was "mocked throughout his career for listlessness, inertia, hooded eyes and lack of interest". Given that, "how can I offer this hunk as one of the best actors in the movies?" Yet he does, and very persuasively.
Then there's Cary Grant, not just "a leading box-office draw for some 30 years" and the "epitome of the man-about-town" but also "the best and most important actor in the history of the cinema". And he's persuasive here, too, as he is about Angie Dickinson, where he confesses to "the plain fact that Angie is his favourite actress" (Anyone who's seen Rio Bravo and Point Blank will know what he means).
And he can be just as taken by more recent players, deeming Brendan Gleeson to be both "the greatest Irish actor of his day" and "sublime", though he's not shy about giving brickbats as well as bouquets. He thinks Keira Knightley "about as interesting as a crème brûlée", while George Clooney's tendency to be "pleased with himself comes in advance of our response and takes the edge of decision away from us", while Tom Hanks in Philadelphia "carries the automatic sentiment of a dog in a film about people".
None of these actors is mentioned in his new book, which nonetheless finds room for Lionel Messi and Ronaldo and for the notion that, apart from their dazzling football skills, they're both playing parts that have been allotted to them by our obsession with celebrity - indeed, Ronaldo, "the contemporary soccer player with perhaps the sharpest sense of showbusiness", reminds him of silent-screen heartthrob Rudolph Valentino.
But Thomson is only getting started. In a book of teasing suggestiveness, he throws out many ideas, including a consideration of the technological advances that enabled performances to be captured for posterity and rewatched by all of us whenever we so desire. The mastery of Edmund Kean and other famous actors of an earlier age may be known to us only by repute, but Jean Seberg, whose decomposing remains were found in a car parked on a Paris street in 1979, "is still the kid on the street selling the New York Herald Tribune in Godard's Breathless."
Then there's the often fortuitous matter of casting, Thomson playing with tantalising might-have-beens in the careers of Laurence Olivier and Marlon Brando. He devotes a lot of space to both of these actors, which might bewilder the book's younger readers - indeed, as far back as 1977, Stephanie in Saturday Night Fever only knew of Olivier as the guy "who did the Polaroid commercials" - but he's very good on both of them.
He traces the "spine of insecurity" that ran through Olivier's personality and that kept him intent on gainful employment to the very end, and he contrasts it with Brando's increasing inability "to lose the feeling that his own great talent was foolish".
He imagines the "stealthy" qualities that Olivier would have brought to The Godfather (he was being considered, apparently, along with Frank Sinatra, Robert Mitchum and Ernest Borgnine), and he asks the reader: "Wouldn't you like to see Olivier's Vita Corleone as much as you might hope to see Brando's Hamlet?" Yes, I would. And he also asks: "Wouldn't Brando have made an impassioned and dangerous Othello?" Yes, again.
He's interesting, too, on the American obsession with the immersive process of method acting that Olivier so disdained and he quotes Olivier on the set of John Schlesinger's thriller Marathon Man as he watched Dustin Hoffman strenuously and time-wastingly thinking himself into his role: "Oh gracious, why doesn't the dear boy just act?"
And this is perhaps why Thomson has such admiration for the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who "seemed determined not to look like an actor" and who in his later roles was "on the verge of trusting himself to do nothing".
The book - an extended essay, really - ranges all over the place and is very subjective. This, after all, is the man who described his own dictionary as "personal, opinionated, unfair and capricious". But he's a marvellous companion and a fund of good stories, and he's endlessly quotable.
He notes William Holden's "light, friendly but faintly sour voice", which evokes that actor immediately. He observes of the younger Julia Roberts that "her smile ran the risk of obliterating her face". Orson Welles was all too often "a hammy actor, unduly contemptuous of the rubbish he was doing". And he locates a "poetic reticence" in Gary Cooper that keeps his screen persona "mysterious and intact" while other famous actors of his era now seem dated. I like, too, his fondness for supporting actors and for those non-speaking performers who fill in the background of movie scenes - the trick to being a good extra, he says, is "to be marginally vivid or interesting, without quite being noticed".
And acting matters to us, he feels, because "for some of us, on some days, we spend more time with acted figures than with real people" - this thought echoing a line, not quoted here, by Joan Didion, who found herself at dinner with John Wayne and was struck by the realisation that "the face across the table was in certain ways more familiar than my husband's".
At the outset of Why Acting Matters, we're advised to "turn to some other book if you do not share in an uncritical love for actors". But Thomson is so generous with insights and such an engaging stylist that there's no chance of that.

Tension Tamer Tea
This herbal tea contains peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, lemon grass, licorice, catnip, hops and vitamin B6 and B12. If you aren't allergic to any of these things and need something for stomach pain, bloating, uneasiness, or just a feeling that your body is out of balance, this tea really has some great benefits. Just pour boiling water over a bag in a mug and sip it very slowly while lying back on a stack of cushions, and within a short time those aches and pains disappear. The cinnamon, pepperment and lemon scents are very reassurring when all around seems nervous and unsettled.

The golfers that got out early in the first round of the RBC Canadian Open had a huge advantage in terms of scoring conditions over their afternoon counterparts. One thing about playing a track that has numerous holes in a valley is the fact that the wind can wreak havoc on the golf ball. That's exactly what happened to the later groups at Glen Abbey Golf Club.
American Brendan Steele was one of the fortunate players to get out early, and did he ever take advantage of the conditions. Steele carded a seven under par 65 in the first round to jump out to a one shot lead over a trio of golfers that includes Matt Kuchar. The top Canadian to this point in the tournament is Brad Fritsch, who currently sits at three under par. "I felt like I played really well today," he said. "I felt like I drove it great. I think I hit less than 50 percent of the fairways, but I think that's just the nature of this golf course." Graham DeLaet, one of the top ranked Canucks in the field is seven shots off of the pace at even par heading into the second round.
It was really tough for the afternoon wave of golfers to get anything going, mainly because of the windy conditions. One saving grace is the fact that the tee times will be flipped tomorrow. That's great news for the guys getting out early, unless the conditions start poorly and get better throughout the day. Then they're pretty much outta luck.
The players who got out later in the day do have the advantage of having played in the wind and should have a leg up tomorrow in terms of knowing how to cope.

Myer to shut Elizabeth store in SA
Myer will close its department store at Elizabeth in northern Adelaide by the end of next year.
The company says its data indicates customers are already choosing to shop at other its stores, such as Tea Tree Plaza, and it is planning a significant upgrade of its Rundle Mall outlet.
Myer says the 40 workers affected at Elizabeth are expected to be redeployed.
The company says it is determined to improve falling earnings and sales, despite an uncertain retail outlook.
Myer has closed two stores in the past year, and says it will close its outlets at Elizabeth and at Fremantle in Western Australia over the next year or so.
Myer CEO Bernie Brookes said the company was restructuring and shifting to online and smaller stores.
"We're comfortable that our five-point strategic plan provides clear direction for us," he said.
"It is a tough retail environment and the subdued consumer sentiment is expected to continue."

text: I recently purchased a Honda HHT31SLTA trimmer. This trimmer has the "D" handle and solid shaft. First please let me clarify that I am not a professional, but a homeowner who has a lot of property to maintain. I use a trimmer for 6-8 hours/week. Like professionals I want the trimmer to start and work when I need it to. I have been using an ECHO SRM2100. The new Honda started easily (like all new trimmers should). I was a very humid day so not choke was required. Starting cord much easier to pull than the ECHO. The Honda shaft is 3-4" longer than the ECHO that I am use to using so it felt awkward at first. As a result I was not cutting evenly because the spool was not parallel to the ground. Adjusting the handle fixed that. I did not notice the extra weight. The engine does not rev as quickly as a two stroke (surprise, surprise) but it certainly did have more torque. (Note: I questioned what good torque would be on a string trimmer when I was investigating new trimmers because the string would just flex. I always thought RPM was the answer to high performance). But the Honda cut through 1/2"-5/8" blackberry vines in a fraction of the time when compared to my old ECHO. I don't know how much can be contributed "torque" or just the fact that the Honda was a new machine. No matter what angle I held the trimmer it never bogged or quit. The engine is quiet. Nice. The "bump" line feed quit working do to the string being poorly wound on the spool from the factory. In 10 minutes I had it fixed and continued working. The best feature that I like is no more mixing oil and gasoline. With only two hours on the trimmer, I am very please with its performance. Thanks, John

Systemic Integration between Climate Change and Human Rights in International Law?
ANU Centre for European Studies Visiting Fellow Dr Ottavio Quirico from the University of New Engand, NSW has published an interesting article in the Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights entitled 'Systemic Integration between Climate Change and Human Rights in International Law?' 2017, Vol. 35(I) 31-50
UN human rights organs have persistently invoked the integration of fundamental rights into the UNFCCC regime and the Paris Agreement now provides that the 'Parties should, when taking action to address climate change, respect, promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights'. How integration should be achieved is nevertheless a matter of international law development. The international recognition of a human right to a sustainable environment therefore emerges as fundamental to determining human rights responsibility for climate change, with particular regard to States. It can be established by acknowledging the fundamental nature of the no-harm rule and would facilitate systemically integrating fundamental rights into climate change regulation and taking consequential institutional action. This argument adds strings to the bow of those scholars who support the idea of intergenerational environmental justice on legal and moral grounds.
To read the full article, subscribe to the Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights via Sage Publishing. This journal publishes the latest evolutions in the promotion and protection of human rights from around the world.
Dr Quirico is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Law at the University of New England and a Visiting Fellow at the ANU Centre for European Studies. Prior to that, he was a Marie Curie Fellow at University Panthéon-Assas (Paris, France), Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute (Florence, Italy), and Visiting Fellow at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (Cambridge, UK). He was also a Lecturer at University Lille Nord de France and delivered undergraduate and postgraduate courses at Washington State University (Pullman, US), Federal University of Paraiba (João Pessoa, Brazil), Federal University of Porto Alegre (Brazil), and at the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (Turin, Italy).

In past few years, Internet has become an integral part of my life. If its not there, I feel that I'm living in vacuum. I was never so fond of yahoo chat, google talk, orkut, facebook .. blah blah blah …. the list is never ending as we all know.
Then one day I got this e-mail in my gmail inbox
And I had an idea about orkut, what is it about and people I knew were quite fond of internet and were always discussing about this thing named "Orkut".
My friends were going crazy about number of scraps, photographs, checking out girls, their albums, games, applications, quizzes, this n that. And I had no clue about how to proceed with the thing, but one day I got this 2-3 hour tuition about "How to use Orkut ?" from my cousin who'd invited me to join it and a new dimension was added to my life.
Overdose of anything is definitely bad for anyone.
This social networking website "Orkut" definitely affected me in some good but more bad ways. All I used to care about is who scrapped what to me, how many friend requests, long scrap chat sessions with friends whom I used to meet daily in class, in playground or in normal day to day routine endlessly with utter nonsense.
But sooner of later I realized that, Orkut is much more about just adding people who you know. And I started visiting various X,Y,Z profiles and most of them were of the people with whom I shared common interests.
And through this ongoing process with no object behind, I met some wonderful people with whom I used to share a great friendship. Some of them have become real close friends and have got a special place in my life now. And then this orkut, google talk integration thing came up, which allowed users to add their orkut friends directly to their respective gmail accounts. And, that worked as "Petrol in Fire".
And suddenly there was this BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM !!!! And the entire thing got changed.
People got pretty used to Orkut and it was spreading like a virus among humans, inviting friends to join it, telling friends to join it so that they can be in touch 24 x 7 and bitch around.
I myself had around 20,000 scraps on orkut, about 700 friends, dunno how many communities I was running. But all that came to a sudden end when I was introduced to Facebook.
To be continued …

Clarkson University Honors Wild Center Executive Director Stephanie Ratcliffe with Highest Community Service Honor: The Bertrand H. Snell Award
Clarkson University's highest community service honor, the Bertrand H. Snell Award, was bestowed upon Wild Center Executive Director Stephanie Ratcliffe at a dinner hosted by Clarkson President Tony Collins and University trustees on May 11.
The Bertrand H. Snell Award was created by the Clarkson board of trustees in 1981 to recognize individuals of outstanding merit and to honor Snell's significant contributions to the University, the North Country, and the nation. Snell, the congressman who introduced the original St. Lawrence Seaway legislation in 1917, was a Clarkson trustee for 47 years.
The award recognizes a new generation of leaders who share Bert Snell's commitment to the North Country and greater community. Recipients are chosen for their professional, business or educational accomplishments, combined with demonstrated integrity and concern for the community. This is only the 14th time in more than 35 years that Clarkson has presented the award.
"Through her role as executive director of the Wild Center, Stephanie Ratcliffe drives innovation, creative problem-solving solutions and forward thinking behind the positive change and growth to our Adirondack-North Country region" said Clarkson President Tony Collins. "Her ceaseless work to make the Wild Center and Tupper Lake a true tourism destination has brought to life the original vision of the Wild Center's founding board members. Clarkson University is proud to honor Stephanie with the Bertrand H. Snell Award."
Stephanie Ratcliffe has served as executive director of the Wild Center in Tupper Lake, N.Y., since 2007, after joining the launch team as director of operations and programs, four years before its 2006 opening.
A transformational leader, Ratcliffe has been at the helm during the creation of the Wild Center museum's current exhibits and programs, including all of the interior live exhibits and multimedia presentations. She has been responsible for the majority of major initiatives, including the development of Wild Walk, an award-winning 850-foot-long elevated treetop walkway.
Ratcliffe oversees several initiatives on climate change, including the Youth Climate Program, which was recognized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as part of President Obama's Climate Action Plan, and by international groups such as UNESCO. She also oversaw the production of the award-winning film "A Matter of Degrees," narrated by Sigourney Weaver, and convened at the Wild Center a national policy conference and two regional conferences on climate change.
She was one of 17 international science museum directors selected to participate in a year-long leadership program funded by the Noyce Foundation. The Noyce Leadership Fellows program seeks to enable chief executives of science centers to deepen their institutions' involvement with their communities.
Ratcliffe also serves as executive committee secretary and diversity committee chair of the Board of the Association of Science Technology Centers (ASTC) based in Washington, D.C., serving science centers internationally.
Dedicated to the sustainability of Adirondack communities, Ratcliffe understands the many roles that museums can play, including as economic drivers, and has served as a board member of the Adirondack North Country Association since 2004.
Originally from West Virginia, Ratcliffe earned her bachelor of science degree in art marketing and museum management from Appalachian State University and her master of science in teaching/museum education from George Washington University.
She was recruited to join the Wild Center team from her position of senior director for all exhibitions at the Maryland Science Center, where she worked for 13 years. She began her career in museums at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Prior to her work at the Smithsonian, she also developed exhibits for the Brooklyn Children's Museum.
Ratcliffe and her husband, Peter Shrope, artist and Town of Brighton supervisor, live in Rainbow Lake, N.Y.
Bertrand H. Snell was one of the North Country's most highly regarded political leaders and entrepreneurs. Born in Colton, N.Y., he founded the Raquette River Paper Company in Potsdam and the Snell Power Company at Higley Falls. In 1914, Snell won his first race for elected office, a seat in the House of Representatives. Later, despite the endorsement of his opponent by President Herbert Hoover, Snell won the House Minority Leader's position, which he held for eight years until his retirement in 1938.
One of his most enduring contributions to the North Country during his 24-year career in Washington was his sponsorship of the original St. Lawrence Seaway legislation. Snell died just months before the Seaway opened in 1958.
In his 47 years as a Clarkson trustee, including 25 as chairman of the board, Snell and his family generously supported projects like Snell Hall, the Sara M. Snell Auditorium, and the Snell Athletic Field. Snell's late daughter, Helen Snell Cheel, was also a generous benefactor of the University who helped make possible the construction of both the Cheel Campus Center and Bertrand H. Snell Hall. His son-in-law, William E. Petersen, and his grandson, W. Hollis Petersen, continued the family tradition of support of the North Country and Clarkson University, serving as trustees.
The Bertrand H. Snell Award assures the remembrance of Clarkson's patron, while it recognizes and honors a new generation of leaders who embrace the institution's mission and its role in the North Country regional economy. Past recipients of the award include former New York State Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy, former New York State Senator Jim Wright, former Congressman John McHugh, former Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities President Abraham Lackman, former Executive Director of NYSTAR of the New York Foundation for Science, Technology, and Innovation Edward Reinfurt, and Dr. Francis Trudeau, founding president of the Trudeau Institute.
The award itself is a five-inch, cast-bronze medallion, revolving in a bronze ring and set on a polished block of Potsdam Sandstone. A likeness of Bertrand Snell is cast on the obverse side with the words "achievement, integrity and community concern" displayed on the reverse.
Clarkson University educates the leaders of the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as an owner, CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. With its main campus located in Potsdam, New York, and additional graduate program and research facilities in the Capital Region and Beacon, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university with signature areas of academic excellence and research directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through more than 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, education, sciences and the health professions, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo and connect discovery and innovation with enterprise.

Others believe that person wants attention. Some argue that it releases tension when they are stressed. There is also documentaries about people who do it for scarifaction purposes as a way of body modifacation.

There are many who believe you can't charge for content on the Web. They fear consumers stand firm in their conviction that all online content should be free. Therefore, you simply can't charge. Those who believe that are probably wrong. But most media executives are too scared to prove it to them.

Discussion in 'Macintosh' started by Johnny, Sep 18, 2011.
As title says. If so, how is it? I want to get it.
Yes I did get the Lion when it came out its ok
It's pretty decent. I have no complaints.
Could I upgrade from leopard without losing anything?
I believe you have to be on snow leopard to upgrade. So you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first then upgrade to Lion.
I was able to upgrade from SL to Lion without loosing anything.
I am sorry, Michael. I meant snow leapard to Lion. I have snow leapard now. I am going to get it and upgrade then.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion without any issues. However the laptop I did that on had a relatively clean install of Snow Leopard due to being a testing machine.
I will still back everything up before hand. I have too much on here to lose any of it.

|Let the memory of Eugene be with us forever
Mr. Eugene Foster Byram, age 71 of Franklin, Georgia passed away at his home on Wednesday, June 18, 2014.
Professional services provided by Stutts Funeral Home. http://www.stuttsfuneralhome.com
"I have always loved my Uncle Gene and Aunt Linda. They were a big part of my childhood and I thank God that I got the two of you. Although we never really sat down and talked, I knew you loved me too :). Thank you again for opening the door that night and letting me in. I don't remember the circumstances, but I do remember the love and kindness that greeted me at the door. Not many words were spoken and I know I stayed the night in a home I was safe from the cruel world.
I always wondered how you could hold that cigarette in your mouth and talk and never drop it!
Yep that was my Uncle Gene that I remember and hold dear to my heart. Until we all meet again....I love you Uncle Gene! :)"
"I remember him laughing, I didn't see it often but he had the same twinkle in his eyes that daddy had. Now he's left this world and is in a much better place. He will be missed but the memories I have of him will always be with me. Farewell Uncle Gene may you find rest in the arms of angels."
"The times when he and my father would reminisce about the misadventures they had together will warm my heart for years to come. I can't remember a single detail of any of them, but there was a magic when the two of them got together and the past would whisk them away to another time and place. I know they're sitting on a front porch somewhere in the great beyond planning their next life story over a cup of coffee, I just hope they don't get the rest of us banned before we can get there to join them. Love you, Uncle Gene. I'll miss you dearly. Tell my old man hello and we'll see you when the time comes."
"He was the best dad ever. I really miss him and think about him every day. He will always be in my heart and I'm glad that I got to play his bagpipes for him one more time. I love you Daddy!"

Today we welcome Lyla Payne to our blog as she celebrates her new book By Referral Only which released on July 1st.
Enter for a chance to win some amazing giveaways using Rafflecopter below.
After being unceremoniously dumped freshman year because of her family's "new money" status, Ruby Cotton has taken care not to put her heart on the line. No matter how enticing Emilie and Quinn make it look, relationships are scary and hard—while a string of flings is easy and fun. That's what Ruby wants. Easy and fun. The only problem is, when it comes to satisfaction in the sack, most of the boys at Whitman are nothing but pretty window dressing and false advertising.
Ruby takes it upon herself to make campus life more fulfilling, creating a referral database that allows female students to rate their sexual experiences, thereby informing girls of what they're getting into before agreeing to a date.
When her acting partner, Liam Greene, finally shows some interest, Ruby figures she won't need to utilize the helpful gossip. He's handsome, fun, and most importantly, not a guy she'd ever fall for hard enough to let him break her heart.
Not only that, but dating Liam gives Ruby the perfect excuse to say no to Cole Stuart.
As a star swimmer and heir to honest-to-God Scottish royalty, Cole sits at the top of Whitman's A-list—but he's also the lowest rated referral on Ruby's website. The ratings make rejecting his repeated requests for a date a no-brainer, but her real reason for avoiding Cole runs deeper than a string of unsatisfied exes.
He's gorgeous, he oozes sweetness and charm, and the electricity between them could power half of Whitman, but Ruby knows it will only last until his family or friends convince him she's not good enough.
Before she knows it she's falling anyway, waiting for the other shoe to drop but clinging to a tentative hope that Cole might be as different as he seems. When the secret behind his low ratings comes to light, that hope is torn apart, and Ruby wonders if she was right to give him her heart…and whether she has the strength to let him keep it.
Kim's Review
By Referral Only is the second book in the Whitman University series ~ if you read Broken at Love then you will remember Ruby Cotton ~ Emilie's best friend and roommate ~ Ruby comes from "new" money and when your surrounded by the "old" money of those at Whitman Ruby has determined that she needs to ensure she protects herself because a failed relationship her freshman year at Whitman all due to her parent's "new" money exposed her in ways she never wanted to be exposed before.
After watching her fellow DE sisters experience disaster after disaster when he came to dating the hot guys at Whitman Ruby comes up with a brilliant plan ~ an online rating system of each of the guys and would they refer him. It's a hit and all too soon the other ladies around campus are able to anonymously sign on and provide their two cents. Ruby quickly learns one thing ~ Scottish hottie Cole has some low ratings and they don't seem to match his personality or interactions that Ruby had with him.
Ruby met Cole in her Speech class and was immediately struck by the chemistry she felt between the two but his ratings don't bode well so she sticks with her plan to get together with fellow actor Liam ~ Liam doesn't stir her emotions or cause butterflies in her stomach and that's a great thing cause Ruby is all about protecting herself.
Cole slowly integrates himself into Ruby's life and he is simply irresistible ~ what happens when Ruby can't hold back anymore? What happens when these two give it a whirl but most importantly what is that Cole is holding back from Ruby and when she finds out what will be her reaction?
I really enjoyed By Referral Only it was a fast read for more ~ a 4 to 4.5 star book. There were times where I wanted to push Ruby along to "move" the story along and there were times I wanted to shake Cole cause I too wanted to know what he was hiding. I really enjoyed seeing Quinn & Emilie integrated throughout the book as I loved their book and I can honestly say this is a series I would continue to follow.
If you are looking for a great read that has a secret that needs to be revealed then I recommend By Referral Only ~ I was provide an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest opinion of the book.
About the Author
I've long had a love of stories. A few years ago decided to put them down on the page, and even though I have a degree in film and television, novels were the creative outlet where I found a home. I've published Young Adult under a different name, but when I got the idea for Broken at Love (my first New Adult title), I couldn't wait to try something new – and I'm hooked. In my spare time I watch a ton of tennis (no surprise, there), play a ton of tennis, and dedicate a good portion of brain power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we'd all love to meet in real life.

On Monday night, my mom, the kids and I went to dinner to celebrate my sister's birthday. We hit the local Chinese restaurant, where we were all happily chomping on rice noodles when my seven year old son took a sip of his lukewarm tea and started to cough.
I remember when I would cough like that as a kid and my mom would make me put my arms in the air. I do that with my son too. I also make him look me in the eye as I slowly count to five, then tell him to take a breath. I do anything I can to get his attention off of coughing because, with him, coughing almost always leads to vomiting.
I held my napkin under his chin, as if that would contain his bellyful of Lo Mein and mushrooms. He began to gag as his sister firmly shut her eyes and plugged her ears, as she frequently does. Then my son threw up about a tablespoon of liquid before calming himself down.
I was thrilled! I was so proud of him! His grandmother even gave him a dollar.
He didn't vomit, and vomit, and vomit some more as he did on the first day of Christmas break. He had a cold and started coughing in the car as we were leaving the school, which is where he started throwing up. He coated his jacket and his booster seat, then leaned out the window and threw up some more. He finished on the ground in the parking lot where I had hurriedly pulled into a spot. I undressed my son next to the car in the frigid temperatures before driving him home to do laundry and bathe him.
That scene, or one like it, plays out about once a week. If we're lucky. Sometimes it's more. You might think this is disgusting. But, these are the moments that define the mother I am.
I am the mother of a sick kid. I am the mother of a boy who weighs 38 pounds and will soon be eight years old, who is hard to understand when he speaks and who hears everything as if he is holding his hands over his ears.
I am the mother of a child with OCD tendencies, who easily gags, and chokes, and has horrible reflux, heart defects, hearing loss, a missing tear duct and stubby ear canals. I work as a lunch lady so I can be there to watch over him when he eats. I give him stomach and allergy medicine, sinus rinses, eye drops and ear drops. And, I carry special bags in my car to catch his vomit (when I can).
I am the mother who helps my kids with homework as I am making a dinner that I know my son can eat. Nothing stringy, nothing too spicy, nothing pasty or with an odd texture. Bites need to be dime-sized.
I am the mother who drives her daughter to basketball practice and makes sure to bring a blanket to keep her son warm, because his heart problems make him extra cold.
I am the mother whose son sees not only a pediatrician, but a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, opthamologist, geneticist, allergist, ENT…oh, and we were just told to consult with an orthodontist too. I am the mother who is a pharmacist's dream and a health insurer's nightmare.
I am also the mother who cheers when her son doesn't throw up in the middle of a restaurant during her sister's birthday dinner.
I am the mother who takes her victories whenever she can.

McDonald's Posts Calorie Counts
Not waiting for federal regulations that would require chain restaurants to post calorie counts, the nation�s largest fast-food company has added those numbers to all its menu boards and drive-thru menus. �It�s the right thing to do,� said Greg Watson, senior vice president for menu innovation at McDonald�s. The Affordable Care Act called for all chain restaurants to provide calorie data at the point of purchase, but the Food and Drug Administration is still reviewing the implementation of that rule. McDonald�s move, expected to prompt similar actions by competitors, may reveal some surprises: The highest-calorie choice on Mc- Donald�s menus turns out not to be a burger but rather the 16-ounce M&M McFlurry, at 930 calories�as much as three cheeseburgers. McDonald�s also announced it would be adding more healthy seasonal fruit and vegetable options, and that it�s testing an egg-white, whole-grain breakfast sandwich.

Several years ago we finished the northern section of the South West Coast Path. This week a smaller group of us went back to take on the next section – Lands End to The Lizard.
We managed 16 "strenuous" miles on day one, 18 "moderate" miles on day two and then cut day three short to 8 more moderate miles. We didn't make the Lizard, but we had fun trying! The landscape was beautiful but the weather was cruel to say the least. Snack breaks on day three were bitterly cold with a constant freezing wind blowing head-on as we walked. Can't complain too much though as the rest of the UK was hit by unseasonal snowstorms.
We witnessed a real life air-sea rescue on day two. An RAF Sea King turned up to winch a fisherman from the freezing sea after he'd been swept off the rocks. We were convinced they were pulling out a corpse but next day the local radio confirmed he had miraculously survived the 10-foot swells, jagged rocks and freezing water. Watching the rescue unfold from the coast path left us in awe but also a little shaken. Coastal erosion was in full swing and we often found ourselves on detours around huge new cracks in the ground or navigating slippery wet rocks above certain-death falls. Maybe these things are best done in the summer!
That said, it was fantastic to notch up another 42 miles of stunning coastline. Hopefully next year will see us back in Cornwall for the next section of walking and more warm pub parlours, good beer and fresh fish suppers.

Legend has it that Bodhidharma after meditating for seven years fell asleep. When he woke up enraged, he cut off his eyelids to prevent it from happening again. Tea plants grew up from where his eyelids fell and monks drink tea to stay awake ever since.
Here's a tea story of plantations from all over Munnar Kerala.

There was no problem with the hotel itself. I know what to expect for the price paid.

The Rainforest Biome
- Very Humid because of all the rainfall in the rain forest
- It rains 250 cm each year
- 50% of it precipitation comes from it's own water
- Average temp. in tropical rain forest 80 degrees Fahrenheit all year round
Rainforest Locations
Some Rainforest Locations could be found or located in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Island, and West Africa. There are some places in the world with some of the largest rainforests like in the Amazon River Basin ( south America ), the Congo River Basin ( West Africa ), and through out a lot of south east Asia. Also, there is a place where there are small rainforests are found like, on the Southeast coast of Chile.
- Rainiest, wettest land biome
- Very diverse, half of the Earth's species live there
- 77 degrees Fahrenheit , Never drops below 64 degrees Fahrenheit. The plants will die if it is cooler
By: Ayva Le, Kaden Nguyen, and Breanna Nguyen

The Rainforest Map

Red Eyed Tree Frog
Most plants live in the canopy. Epiphytic plants attach to the trunks and branches of the trees because they have water and minerals from rain and debris. A quarter of all insect species are believed to exist in the canopy layer alone. Many animals also live on the forest floor like snakes, jaguars, and cougars.
- Has never dropped below 64 degrees
- A temperate rainforest has two seasons, one long and wet, and the other is hot and dry
- The long and wet season's temp. is around 32 degrees Fahrenheit
- Short and dry temp. is around 80 degrees
- When forests are burned the opposite affects occur, carbon with other greenhouse gases let out into the atmosphere
Atmosphere-Rainforests lock up atmospheric carbon in their vegetation
Hydrosphere- Rainforests are mostly a self watering place, but otherwise the rain and river are the two main sorces where the rainforests gets its water
Geosphere- Rainforests contains mountains, valleys, rivers, and wetlands
Spider Monkeys
Bengal bamboo
Coconut tree
Kapok Tree
Banana Tree
The rainforest has lots of rain since it is very hot and wet. The water evaporates to the clouds and when the cloud is full of water the cloud lets the water go. Then, the water comes to the ground and the water cycle or precipitation starts all over again. Also, the rainforest is humid from all of it's rainfall. Humid means moist or a high amount of water and water vapor. This kind of climate is near the equator. Since the this climate is near the equator there it is hot because the sun is directly hitting the rainforest with it's sunlight. Furthermore, the sun almost all the time near the equator, shining it's beam of sunlight in the rainforest that are near the equator. In addition, there are trees that can reach a height of more than 164 feet. That is a fact about the rainforests near the equator as well.
Food Web
The places colored in green are rainforests locations
Kapok Tree
Producers (aka plants) are eaten by primary consumers who are herbivores. Secondary consumers eat primary consumers but then secondary consumers get eaten by the animals at the top of the food web, the tertiary consumers.
There are different kinds of trees and insects in the rainforest. Some of the trees that you find are Coconut trees,Kapok Trees,and Banana Trees.Insects that inhabit the rainforest are Butterflies, leeches, and weevils, just to name a few. And together plants species and insects make up the rainforest.
One tribe in the rainforest is the Pygmy tribe. The pygmies hunted for food like most tribes. They also like to wear warm clothes so they won't get hypothermia. The Huli both hunt and grow crops. Men and women live in seperate houses. The Yanomami tribe is the last tribe. Their lives are centered around the yano, or communal house.
glass winged butterfly
There are animals that can eat you like jaguars.There are bugs like leeches and mosquitoes that can suck your blood. Also, the snake can bite humans and venomous snakes can be life-threatening. Without shelter humans can face hypothermia when rain falls.
Can Humans Survive?
Survivor (Negatives)
Humans can survive in the rainforest's conditions if they be careful. The only things that can be bad for humans is hypothermia and the animals in the rainforest. Jaguars and snakes can be a threat to humans and if humans have no shelter rain may cause hypothermia.
There are some positives or pros in the rainforest, such as trees to use for shade when it is a really hot day, especially when the show is filmed in one of the rainforests near the equator. Also, there are foods that the survivor could eat while surviving in the rainforest like, durians, coconuts, and bananas. Another positive is that there are many plants you can discover while the survivor show is filming. Lastly, there are lots of water near waterfalls and when it rains, so if the survivor gets thirsty during the show there will be a waterfall and whoever the survivor is can have a drink of water.
Thumbs up!
Thumbs down!
In the food chain producers which are plants are eaten by omnivores or herbivores so it is at the bottom of the food chain. The jaguar and cougar are two apex predators at the top of the food chain.
Items Needed for Survival
Some items needed for survival are bug spray if there is any bugs like an entire swarm of mosquitos. Also, the survivor should pack a hat during survival because you might never know if there are tree leaves you could use as hats. In fact, the survivor shouldn't forget to pack a hat because the rainforest the survivor is going maybe near the equator which is really hot and sunny. Another item to suggest is bring food and water if your area of the show filming has no food or water nearby. In fact, if your area has not even a tiny piece of food bring a lot just like if there is no water nearby. My last item to suggest for the survivor is some gear or tools the survivor would need during the survival task and show filming, like a first aid kit.
The Rainforest Layers
More Rainforest Animals
The four rainforest layers are Emergent Layer, Canopy, Understory, and the Rainforest Floor. The Emergent layer has trees growing about the heights of two- hundred feet or more. Also, the trees do not grow close to one another since the trees endure different conditions. In fact, there are only some insects, kinds of bats, birds, and harpy eagles. The Canopy is the second layer with trees about one- hundred feet to one hundred and fifty feet. The canopy is home to plant life and animal life. Some animals are spider monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, and orangutans. Most of these animals living in canopy usually get most of their food in the trees. My next layer is the Understory. The Understory is between the Canopy and the Rainforest floor. Also, it is dark since some of the trees are blocking the sunlight. In fact, there is only a small bit of sunlight shining in that layer. The Understory is also humid and has a lot of insects. Lastly, there is the Rainforest Floor which has one to two percent of sunlight hitting the upper layers of the rainforest and because of only having that much sunlight there is not much plants living in the Rainforest Floor, but there are a bunch of decomposers. The Rainforest Floor has animals too such as, jaguars, tigers, and okapis.

Hands on ... Members of Team Fiji hold the Glasgow 2014 Queen's Baton in the Team Fiji camp at the Commonwealth Games Athletes' Village in Glasgow. Picture: Press Association
THE Queen's Baton visited Team Fiji's camp yesterday at the Commonwealth Games Athletes' Village in Glasgow.
FASANOC delegates at the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly were delighted that the Queen's Baton spent 30 minutes at the camp since it did not make a stopover in Fiji during its relay to the respective Commonwealth countries.
Yesterday, Team Fiji revealed in a statement that it was overwhelmed with the reception.
Team Fiji was excited at being included in the Queen's Baton relay.
Chef de mission Lyndall Fisher and secretary general Lorraine Mar thanked Team Scotland for the kind gesture.
Meanwhile, Fiji flag bearer Litia Tikoisuva started her experience as a flag bearer at the Oceania Flag Bearer Naming Ceremony at the Glasgow Caledonian University Forecourt.
The ceremony was opened by Dennis Miller, executive director of ONOC (Oceania National Olympic Committee) and featured Papua New Guinea's gold-medal-winner Ryan Pini.
A set agenda was followed for each of the nations which involved the chef de mission for each country announcing the name of the flag bearer before the athlete paraded with the flag.
Fisher was delighted to announce that lawn bowler Litia Tikoisuva would be leading the way at Celtic Park for Fiji.
This is Tikoisuva's fourth games, having previously competed at the 1998, 2002 and 2006 competitions.
"That experience of winning includes a successful gold medal campaign at the South Pacific Games. Tikoisuva beamed with pride after receiving the flag and said she felt honoured to be representing Fiji," Fisher said.
Team Fiji is also anticipating greeting the government delegation led by the President Ratu Epeli Nailatikau who arrived in Glasgow.

portfolio peek
StewartMarr is that Arkon and I get to interact with some of the finest people. Occasionally even a saint. You know, the kind of folk who go out at the crack of dawn with an insulated mug of Folger's and a bulging tote bag and make the world a kinder, better place. We are creating a new website for a whole community of them, early intervention professionals who help the youngest of our young thrive despite developmental curve balls that have been thrown their way. Robert Frost said a poem begins as a lump in the throat. Sometimes our work does, too.
