Successful conservation requires sound priority setting and decision-making based on the best available science. Science-policy interfaces are social processes, which encompass relations between scientists and other actors in the policy process, and which allow for exchanges, co-evolution, and joint construction of knowledge with the aim of enriching decision-making at different scales.
IUCN has partnered up with BiodivERsA to help translate the results of the projects funded by the network into a series of policy briefs targeted primarily to EU policy-makers.
BiodivERsA is a network of 21 research-funding agencies across 15 European countries funded under the EU's 7th Framework Programme for Research. BiodivERsA works to coordinate national research programmes on biodiversity across Europe and to organize international funding for research projects in this field, on a competitive basis. The driving objective of BiodivERsA is to develop a sustainable mechanism to promote strategic cooperation in biodiversity research and related disciplines at a European scale. In 2008 alone, more than 14 million Euros were awarded to biodiversity research projects. See more here.
The BiodivERsa policy briefs aim to present the findings and recommendations of selected BiodivERsA research projects to policy-makers in the EU institutions and European national governments. IUCN will work closely with BiodivERsA scientists and experts within the IUCN network to identify the key policy recommendations of the research projects. The focus of this action will be on the projects funded by the network in 2008. Some of the topics covered are:
- Wildlife diseases and their impact on biodiversity loss
- Peatlands conservation
- Species adaptation to climate change
See here for more information on the 2008 projects.
The IUCN European Union Representative Office in Brussels will lead the development of the BiodivERsA policy briefs with support from the large network of IUCN, global policy experts and specialized communicators of the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication.
IUCN recognizes the need to strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and ecosystem services, as shown by its engagement in the establishment and development of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) where IUCN has supported the integration of the perspectives of the scientific community and civil society into the IPBES process (more here).
In Brussels, the IUCN European Union Representative Office acts as liaison between the large IUCN constituency and the European Union. As focal point for IUCN on relevant EU policies, both internal as well as external, it plays an active role in promoting the extensive knowledge and science generated by IUCN, its Members and scientists to influence the EU decision-making process, as well as raise awareness of the importance of nature conservation among EU policy-makers.

|Join hundreds of other Developers and InfoSec professionals for Training, Sessions and Community at our first conference of 2019
[AppSec Tel Aviv, May 26-30th]
SAMM - Threat Assessment - 1
| For the latest project news and information,
join the mailing list and visit the OpenSAMM website.
Threat Assessment - 1
|Objective: Identify and understand high-level threats to the organization and individual projects
- High-level understanding of factors that may lead to negative outcomes
- Increased awareness of threats amongst project teams
- Inventory of threats for your organization
Success Metrics
- >50% of project stakeholders briefed on the threat models of relevant projects within past 12 months
- >75% of project stakeholders briefed on attacker profiles for relevant architectures
- Buildout and maintenance of project artifacts for threat models
- Business Owners (1 day/yr)
- Developers (1 day/yr)
- Architects (1 day/yr)
- Security Auditors (2 day/yr)
- Managers (1 day/yr)
Related Levels
- Strategy & Metrics - 1
- Security Requirements - 2
A. Build and maintain application-specific threat models
Based purely on the business purpose of each software project and the business risk profile (if available) identify likely worst-case scenarios for the software under development in each project team. This can be conducted using simple attack trees or through a more formal threat modeling process such as Microsoft's STRIDE, Trike, etc.
To build attack trees, identify each worst-case scenario in one sentence and label these as the high-level goals of an attacker. From each attacker goal identified, identify preconditions that must hold in order for each goal to be realized. This information should be captured in branches underneath each goal where each branch is either a logical AND or a logical OR of the statements contained underneath. An AND branch indicates that each directly attached child nodes must be true in order to realize the parent node. An OR branch indicates that any one of the directly attached child nodes must be true in order to achieve the parent node.
Regardless of the threat modeling approach, review each current and historic functional requirement to augment the attack tree to indicate security failures relevant to each. Brainstorm by iteratively dissecting each failure scenario into all the possible ways in which an attacker might be able to reach one of the goals. After initial creation, the threat model for an application should be updated when significant changes to the software are made. This assessment should be conducted with senior developers and architects as well as one or more security auditors.
B. Develop attacker profile from software architecture
Initially, conduct an assessment to identify all likely threats to the organization based on software projects. For this assessment, consider threats to be limited to agents of malicious intent and omit other risks such as known vulnerabilities, potential weaknesses, etc.
Begin by generally considering external agents and their corresponding motivations for attack. To this list, add internal roles that could cause damage and their motivations for insider attack. Based on the architecture of the software project(s) under consideration, it can be more efficient to conduct this analysis once per architecture type instead of for each project individually since applications of architecture and business purpose will generally be susceptible to similar threats.
This assessment should be conducted with business owners and other stakeholders but also include one or more security auditors for additional perspective on threats. In the end, the goal is to have a concise list of threat agents and their corresponding motivations for attack.

Charity Set Up in Tribute to Radiohead Stage Collapse Victim Scott Johnson
Plans have been announced to set up a charity in honor of Scott Johnson, the 33-year-old drum technician killed in the tragic June stage collapse before an outdoor Radiohead concert in Toronto, Ontario. Johnson's parents have set up the Scott Johnson Bursary Fund for Young Musicians to provide instruments for aspiring musicians in the town of Rotherham, England, where Johnson grew up.
Over the past couple of months, a number of people have asked if there is anything they can do in memory of Scott. Scott's parents have now created the Scott Johnson Bursary Fund for Young Musicians. This will fund musical equipment for you…ng people in Rotherham in the UK, where Scott grew up. If you would like to find out more, or would like to make a donation, then please follow this link:
Many thanks
Johnson, who lived in Doncaster, England, and was also a technician for Keane, was crushed to death when a section of the stage's roof collapsed while he was setting up equipment before the band's concert. Radiohead paid tribute to him in July during their first concert following the accident.
Scott Johnson's parents also released a statement about the charity they are setting up for their late son. It reads:
It has been heart-warming to receive kind wishes. We have had many requests for donations in place of flowers and have set up an account that will be the Scott Johnson Bursary for Young Musicians. This will be managed by his friends locally as a fund primarily in Rotherham schools.
Frankly we cannot equate to the financial aspects but if it helps anyone to contribute in this way the account is established to ensure no other fund is created in error. It may take a while, but we will keep you informed on how the money is spent in due course."
The Scott Johnson Bursary Fund for Young Musicians website mentioned above is currently accepting donations for the cause.

Abstract: Jerusalem Besieged: 4,000 Years of Conflict in the City of Peace
Jerusalem, whose name to some means the 'City of Peace,' has been anything but peaceful during the past four millennia. A new study by the present author indicates that there have been at least 118 separate conflicts in and for this city since 2000 BCE — conflicts which ranged from local religious struggles to strategic military campaigns and which embraced everything in between. Jerusalem has been destroyed completely at least twice, besieged 23 times, attacked an additional 52 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, been the scene of 20 revolts and innumerable riots, had at least five separate periods of violent terrorist attacks during the past century, and has only changed hands completely peacefully twice in the past 4,000 years. Many of these conflicts left evidence in the archaeological record and recent discoveries have shed new light on many of these successive struggles, including those involving Egyptians, Canaanites, Israelites, Jebusites, Neo-Assyrians, Neo-Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Moslems, and Crusaders. This study of 4,000 years of conflict in a single city also illustrates how archaeology, politics, and nationalism are frequently linked in the troubled environment of the Middle East today, especially when ancient conflicts and their archaeology are used as propaganda by modern military and political leaders.

Bo Bice Welcomes Baby Girl
Country rocker Bo Bice has welcomed home his fourth child. His wife, Caroline, gave birth to Merrin Elizabeth Joy Bice on Monday, April 23. The 8-pound, 11-ounce little girl is said to being doing great, as is her mother.
The former 'American Idol' singer announced the happy news on his official website on Tuesday. Merrin is the first little girl for the Bices, joining three big brothers -- Adain (2005), Caleb (2008) and Ean (2010). Bo and Caroline were married in June 2005, just weeks after he finished second to Carrie Underwood on 'Idol.'
Fans have been leaving the now short-haired singer and his family well-wishes on his official Facebook page. Bice will have some time to care for the newborn before he hits the road again. According to his website, his spring and summer touring commitments don't resume until May 10 in Murfreesboro, N.C.
Since finishing the reality television show, Bice has released three albums. His most recent project is called '3' and features the single 'You Take Yourself With You.' In March, he told Billboard that he's been painting and selling his artwork in recent years while working on a Christian EP.

If you'd only read about Brit singer Jessie J previous to seeing her on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, you may have been shocked to discover that she could, you know, sing. The headlines regarding the artist (in the U.S., at least) have been about her writing songs for Britney, wearing skimpy outfits and being bisexual.
To be fair, the sex stuff is relevant, since Jessie J has a hit called "Do It Like A Dude, in which she sings:
Hey, pour me a beer
No pretty drinks, I'm a guy out here
Rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin' money like a pimp
My B I T C H's on my dick like this
Dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty dirty sucker
You think I can't get her like you, you motherfucker....
Let's not even get into whether or not she is reinforcing gender stereotypes or busting them. Let's focus on the heart of the matter: Jessie J can sing! She doesn't need Britney Spears, crazy outfits or carefully marketed bisexuality. Check out the video at the top of the post, shot by Arcade44 and Giant Step in a New York City subway station: Jessie J can sing. She's riveting when stripped of the bells and whistles and crutches most other pop stars rely on. She's gifted, and it's a pleasant surprise. Which really says something about what we expect from our pop stars right now.

Turin: Juventus will confirm the signing of Fernando Llorente on Thursday, with the announcement of the free transfer concluding their patient pursuit of Athletic Bilbao`s most coveted player.
The 27-year-old has been frozen out of the picture at the Basque club after rejecting a new contract that would have seen his salary rise to €4.8 million a year.
Llorente will earn less at Juventus, €4.5 million per season, but had his heart set on Italy and has now agreed a four-year contract.
The Serie A holders attempted to sign Llorente in the summer but baulked at the €36 million buy-out clause written into the player`s contract.
Llorente has been free to speak to overseas clubs about a summer transfer since January 1.
The deal was to be announced by the Turin club on Wednesday, but was held back so as not to overshadow the new two-year contract extension agreed by captain Gianluigi Buffon.

Charles Moore Stratton and Bessie Boyce married in Penrith in 1904. Bessie was the daughter of William Boyce and wife Elizabeth (nee Warren), while Charles was the son of James Stratton and Isabella (nee Malone) who are believed to be the older couple in the photograph at left. The Stratton family were early residents of the Springwood area; James, a butcher, acquired land at Faulconbridge in 1869. Today, Everton House (built by the Hon. John Meeks) and Faulconbridge Public School exist on the property.

Bessie Stratton (nee Boyce) was my grandmother's sister - her name was Catherine and she married Clarence Edgar Felton Hughes a Dentist in Randwick who was also a Mayor of Mascot. I believe that there is a connection with the village of NEWLYN in Cornwall but still working on finding out more details. I believe that the parents of Bessie & Catherine lived at Waverley (suburb of Sydney). Again still putting the details together. I spent many happy times in Springwood as a child and remember that the post lady came on horseback.

The news that the NFL's Competition Committee is looking at the rules governing low blocks on defensive players made us think about Texans linebacker Brian Cushing, who was lost for the season due to an ACL tear suffered on just such a block.
Cushing wasn't talking about that on Tuesday, but he was talking about his rehab and the news continues to be good on that front. Texans owner Bob McNair said a couple of weeks ago that Cushing was ahead of schedule in his recovery and the linebacker said that he's nearing a milestone in his path back to the field.
"I'm about a week out of jogging right now. Really looking forward to that," Cushing said, via Nick Scurfield of the team's website. "It's been a long, long journey and I still have a lot to go, but it just makes me cherish playing that much more."
The Texans were decimated at inside linebacker by the end of the season, losing Darryl Sharpton and Tim Dobbins to season-ending injuries that led to Barrett Ruud starting in the playoffs after getting signed to the team in October. McNair complained about the team's lack of depth at the spot, which raises the question of which teams McNair thinks have high-quality fifth-string linebackers while also making it clear how much better life would be in Houston if Cushing is able to answer the bell for the start of the season.

The Mission was founded on September 17, 1804 by Father Estevan Tapis, and was named in honor of Saint Agnes, an early Christian martyr of the fourth century. The Spanish for Agnes is Inés, hence the name of the church; the American Yankees anglicized the spelling of the Spanish pronunciation and named the town Santa Ynez.

How many calories are in garlic broth and lemon juice?
The calorie content is most likely negligible. Garlic broth, assuming it's made only with garlic and water, would not have any calories. One tablespoon lemon juice has about 3-4 calories; ½ cup has about 60 calories. Without knowing amounts, I can't say exactly, but I hope this information helps.

Americans Are Just Supposed to Be Slaves to the Entire World
A few hundred years ago we brought Africans over as slaves. America gets bashed for its history of slave owning, but slavery had been around for thousands of years before we existed—and still exists today in other parts of the world. Slavery was supposed to be abolished in the 1800s, but it turns out it really wasn't…. Read More ›

More Photos of Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix Emerge
Shooting of the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic, 'All is by My Side,' is currently underway, with Dublin filling in for London in the mid-1960s. The film, which stars Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000 from the hip-hop group Outkast, as the guitar hero.
Last month, the first pictures of Andre 3000 bearing a strong resemblance to Hendrix emerged, and now, some more have come to light. These photographs involve Andre 3000 and co-star Hayley Atwell walking down a street. Atwell plays Linda Keith, who was the girlfriend of Keith Richards at the time. Shortly thereafter, she left Richards and moved to New York to be with Hendrix. The British-born Atwell played Peggy Carter in last year's 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' Newcomer Ashley Charles is cast as the Rolling Stones guitarist.
'All is by My Side' is being made without the consent of Hendrix's estate, who have refused to license his music for the movie. Drummer Kenny Aronoff recently told us that he spent two days recording versions of Hendrix and Cream songs with fellow session greats Waddy Wachtel and Lee Sklar for the film.
The story reportedly centers on Hendrix's arrival in London from New York in 1966 and subsequent rise to fame.

Candidate presented by: Mr. Steve Frieder, Assistant to the President and Corporate Secretary
David McCullough is widely acclaimed as a "master of the art of narrative history" and "a matchless writer." He is a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize; two-time winner of the National Book Award; and has received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
His books have been praised for their scholarship, their understanding of American life, their "vibrant prose," and insight into individual character. Mr. McCullough's most recent book, 1776, the number one New York Times national bestseller in both hardcover and paperback, has been called, "brilliant…powerful," "a classic," while his previous work, John Adams, remains one of the most critically acclaimed and widely read American biographies of all time. It is presently in its 82nd printing.
Mr. McCullough's new book, The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, will be published on Tuesday. It tells the stirring—and until now, largely untold—story of three generations of talented young Americans who traveled to Paris in the nineteenth century seeking excellence, the ways they were changed, and the ways they changed their country.
A composer creates art by writing music; a painter creates art using oil and canvas; David McCullough creates art with words. His writing is as vivid as the artist's canvas and as passionate as the composer's symphony. Writing in The New York Times, critic John Leonard remarked that "David McCullough is incapable of writing a page of bad prose," a statement with which millions of readers would concur.
Mr. McCullough's other books include The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path Between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, Brave Companions, and Truman. His work has been published in ten languages and, in all, more than nine million copies are in print. None of his books has ever been out of print, something that may be said of few writers.
Mr. McCullough is a two-time winner of the prestigious Francis Parkman Prize, and for his work overall he has been honored with the National Book Foundation's Distinguished Contribution to American Letters Award, and the National Humanities Medal. He has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and is the recipient of more than forty honorary degrees.
In a crowded, productive career, he has been an editor, essayist, teacher, lecturer, and a familiar presence on public television both as host of Smithsonian World and The American Experience, and as narrator of numerous documentaries, including The Civil War. "John Adams," the seven part mini-series on HBO, produced by Tom Hanks, was one of the most acclaimed television events of 2008.
A gifted speaker, Mr. McCullough has lectured in all parts of the country and abroad, as well as at the White House. He is also one of the few private citizens to speak before a joint session of Congress.
Born in Pittsburgh, Mr. McCullough was educated there and at Yale, where he earned a bachelor's degree with honors in English literature. He is an avid reader, traveler, and has enjoyed a lifelong interest in art and architecture. In addition, he is a devoted painter. Mr. McCullough and his wife Rosalee Barnes McCullough have five children and eighteen grandchildren.Because of his exceptional and unparalleled contributions to American culture as a historian and storyteller, and his eloquent and engaging books that make history come alive, Reverend President, I hereby recommend David McCullough for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa.

Cognitive Psychology Doctor of Philosophy Degree Program
Program of Study and Research
(66 credits, minimum)
The general aim of the doctoral program is preparation of students to become productive scholars in the psychological sciences through coursework and research experience leading to the doctoral dissertation. It is the aim of this graduate program to provide a course of study which provides a foundation in psychology and to meet individual objectives in an area of specialization.
Departmental Requirements
In the first year of doctoral studies, students take the two-semester sequence of statistics courses, Psy 510 and 511. A student who receives a grade lower than B in Psy 510 or 511 must repeat the course. (Students who earn less than a B in 510 cannot enroll in 511.) First-year students are expected to take at least 12 hours per semester. First-year students also take Psy 600A,B, which is a two semester course.
Outside-of-Area Courses
Students are expected to gain knowledge of psychological research by taking courses in most of the department's specializations. Breadth of knowledge in these areas is accomplished with courses recommended by the student's advisor. Each student is required to take a minimum of four courses outside her or his own specialization. The four courses must be selected from at least two different areas of specialization within the Ph.D. program. Such courses would typically include Psy 601, 602, 603, 605, 606, 640, or 641, although other courses (including courses from other departments) may be used to satisfy this requirement. Each area of specialization may identify particular courses for its students to take.
All graduate students must maintain a B average among the four courses outside their own specialization. If a student earns less than a C in one of these courses, and is still retained in the program, the student will repeat the course regardless of the student's overall average.
Psy 600 Project Research Competency Paper
Satisfactory completion of the Psy 600 A and B courses requires a research competency paper similar in scope to a paper submitted to peer-review journals. This paper will include a substantive review of relevant literature; detailed description of methods and materials used to generate empirical data; fully documented data analyses; and a discussion of issues raised by the results. Projects limited to qualitative literature reviews are not acceptable. This paper must be written entirely by the student, and must bear the written approval of the student's advisor and the department chair. This paper is expected to be completed by the end of the student's second year of graduate study.
Research Tool Requirement
Every student must present evidence of the satisfactory completion of the research tool requirement. Only one tool is required.
The department defines the research tool as a course or area of study involving both a skill component and an execution component which will aid students in their dissertation and future research endeavors. The tool subject must be satisfied following admission to and in addition to the student's program of study in psychology.
The following areas are set forth as illustrative only, as possible areas to fulfill the research tool requirement: computer programming, mathematics, electronics, biochemistry, histological techniques, foreign language, pharmacology, and advanced statistics.
The actual area to be studied, the work to be completed, and the method of evaluation must be approved by the student's advisor.
Departmental Examinations
The department qualifying examination consists of a demonstration by graduate students that they are prepared and qualified to perform independently and professionally within their area of specialization.
Before the end of the fourth year of study, a student must have completed the doctoral qualifying examination. All graduate students will be required to complete the Psy 600A,B project before they may take the qualifying examination. The department qualifying examination consists of a prepared and qualified to perform independently and professionally within their area of specialization. This demonstration will require broad-ranging mastery of conceptual and methodological issues in the area, and is exemplified by a comprehensive test, an integrative review article, or a grant proposal. The specific format will be determined by the student's Qualifying Examination Committee, which must include at least three area faculty. It is the student's responsibility to consult with his or her advisor about examination format, committee membership, and time line. If a student fails the qualifying examination, he/she may take it once more. Failure on the second occasion constitutes a basis for dismissal from the program.
Students must submit an acceptable dissertation which demonstrates that they are capable of doing independent scholarly work and are able to formulate conclusions which should modify or extend previous knowledge. Students must be formally admitted to candidacy before the dissertation proposal can be accepted and approved.
Full Time Study in Residence
Each student in a doctoral program must engage in full-time study beyond the master's degree or equivalent at the University in at least two sessions after admission to the advanced program. This requirement is designed to insure for each doctoral student a sustained period of intensive intellectual growth. For this purpose a student will enroll in full-time study (12 credits) taken in each of two sessions, or in a regular session and a summer session, not necessarily consecutive, which must be completed satisfactorily, except as indicated here:
- Students authorized to register for work on a dissertation may meet this 12 credit per session requirement by satisfactorily completing a minimum of 8 earned course credits and registering for work on the dissertation for load credits that will bring the total to 12 credits for each of two sessions.
- Graduate assistants holding a full assistantship may meet the residency requirement by completing one academic year in such a position, including the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 15 registered credits during the year plus satisfactory completion of assigned duties.
Admission to Candidacy
A student is admitted to candidacy for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy upon the following:
- Satisfactory completion of the research competency paper;
- Satisfactory record in course and seminar study;
- Satisfactory completion of the research tool requirement;
- Completion of university residence requirements;
- Satisfactory completion of the doctoral qualifying examination.
Statute of Limitations
All courses used to satisfy degree requirements (other than Psy 899) must have been completed no more than eight years prior to the semester in which the degree is officially granted by the University. This limitation also applies to all courses taken at other institutions for which transfer credit has been granted by the University.
Requirements Specific to Cognitive Psychology
In addition to the departmental course requirements, course requirements specific to the Cognitive Psychology program are as follows: Students must take Psy 603 and are ordinarily expected to take Psy 565 Psychology and Language, Psy 721 Complex Mental Processes, Psy 624 Human Memory, and Psy 625 Information Processing/Perception. Students are also encouraged to complement their courses in psychology with courses in other departments such as computer science, statistics, linguistics, and educational psychology and will be expected to take an active role in colloquia and other related programs offered by faculty in the Linguistics and Cognitive Science Program.

Extremely literal boss demotes editor to columnist
In the wake of his apocalyptic predictions for the online-advertising market, Nick Denton, the owner of Valleywag publisher Gawker Media, read my offhand quip about how I would soon be writing Valleywag as a column for Gizmodo or Gawker, whichever will take me" as a brilliant business suggestion, and he's taking me up on the idea. (Gawker, as it happens.) Nick, I was joking, but if you really think I have such keen insight into how to manage your Web properties, why not make me a strategic consultant to Gawker Media instead — and give me a hefty raise while you're at it?

"Continuing the Challenge of EUV Astronomy:
Current Analysis and Prospects for the Future"
The EUVE End-of-Mission Conference
|The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
|Space Science Laboratory
|University of California
All those interested in EUV astronomy including former and current Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Guest Observers and users of the EUVE archive are invited to a three-day conference to celebrate the many accomplishments of the EUVE mission. The conference will be held 22-24 July 2001 in Jenner, CA.
This conference will include presentations of a number of new research results as well as review papers. We encourage papers which are specifically on EUVE science results as well as papers which relate EUVE science to the rest of astrophysics. We will have invited speakers give talks on the main areas of EUV astrophysics, highlights of which will be in response to the conference theme "continuing the challenge of EUV astronomy: current analysis and prospects for the future."
The EUVE satellite was launched in 1992 and carried out the first comprehensive all sky EUV survey. Staff The EUVE team, including its base of Guest Observers, accomplished all of the EUVE scientific, technological, and outreach goals and has paved the way for follow up missions. A catalogue of over 1500 point sources was produced as were diffuse sky maps. Results from the brightest EUV sources, observed spectroscopically through a Guest Observer Program, will be summarized and reviewed in this conference. The EUVE mission pioneered a number of approaches to reduce dramatically the cost of observatory operations including transition to automated "lights out" operation and outsourcing of the mission by NASA to a University run operations center. The EUVE Project also forged strong national partnerships in the process of implementing long-term interface between the scientific and educational communities in its Public Outreach Program (E/PO). Presentations at the conference may address the technological as well as E/PO achievements of EUVE and their relationship to the future of EUV astronomy.
If you have questions about this conference, please send e-mail to Jennifer Cullison, the conference coordinator, (firstname.lastname@example.com). For other questions on the workshop, contact Jean Dupuis, chair of the Local Organizing Committee (email@example.com).

Reluctantly we have decided to sell our 1987 (Mull) F30. She has carried us all up and down the coast of Maine and up through the Bay of Fundy and the St John River. Great boat. But circumstances have changed and its time to hand her off to some one else. She is well set up for cruising. Glad to send along pictures and myriad details. I know every inch of her.
I attach one picture (several pictures stitched together) showing improvements to cabin including bookcase and diesel cabin heater.

I grew up in a small, rural town in Ohio where nearly 3,000 people lived. There was never a day when I couldn't run outside and enjoy the beautiful landscape of my town. Today, I work as a nurse in Southern California, where the smog has deprived its residents of a view of the mountains nearby and has plagued them with a host of health issues, including asthma.
My move to attend Azusa Pacific University was when I was introduced to the correlations between asthma and bad air. I started to notice a physical change when my breathing became strained during my runs, a problem I never had while living in Ohio. Multiple asthma attacks later, I now run with my iPod in one hand and an inhaler in the other. I went from knowing little about asthma to becoming one of the 5 million people in California living with the disease and a nurse who treats it.
Asthma is exacerbated by "triggers" in the air. Triggers can be produced from our use of fossil fuels like natural gas and oil. Southern California Edison's dirty power plants and the millions of vehicles on our freeways dump dangerous levels of smog and soot into the air, increasing the likelihood that my patients will have more severe and frequent asthma attacks. My patients are not a statistic for me, but across the state, they contribute to a frightening set of statistics — in 2010, 35,000 Californians rushed to the hospital because of asthma attacks costing more than $1 billion in annual charges.
What's worse, California's dirty air is inequitable. Communities of color and low-income communities are far more likely to suffer the ill effects of dirty air, and the California Environmental Protection Agency can prove it. Recently, they complied community data on pollution exposure and its connection to poverty, unemployment, low birth-weights in infants and of course asthma rates. The Inland Empire, Los Angeles County and the San Joaquin Valley, home to communities of color, were cited as having the worst pollution in the state. To drill down even further, African-Americans have a 40 percent higher rate of asthma and are twice as likely to die from dirty air as whites. Many of my patients live in these neighborhoods, and the vast majority of them have asthma.
When dirty air isn't discriminating against people of color, it's harming kids. Many of my patients are children who have similar symptoms to chronic smokers despite never having smoked a cigarette in their life. Across the country, American children miss 14 million school days a year because of asthma, impacting their education and peer bonding. Some $3.2 billion is spent a year to treat children 18 years and younger. The indirect costs are believed to be three times higher than the direct losses as family members miss work because they are caring for their sick, asthmatic children. Across the nation, the asthma prevalence rates are around 8-10 percent. In Southern California, where we suffer from the worst air quality, asthma prevalence rates are at 20-25 percent.
The air we breathe in California is dirtier than anywhere else in the nation, and it's killing us. The good news is that we don't have to accept dirty air, bad health and premature death as the cost of living in the modern world. From electric vehicles to rooftop solar panels and more, we have all the tools we need to make a timely and orderly break from dirty fossil fuels. It is well past time for our leaders, from Gov. Brown to our local air district regulators, to actually lead and develop a clean air strategy that makes it safe to breathe the air in California again. We shouldn't have to choose between living in the state we love, and keeping our loved ones and ourselves healthy and safe. Join me today, on World Asthma Day, and contact our local air district. Email them at email@example.com and ask them to create a clean air plan that makes it safe to breath the air again.

For the month of May, social justice activist and Pushcart-nominated poet Ama Codjoe blogs about the P&W–supported workshop series she facilitates at Girls Educational & Mentoring Services (G.E.M.S.), an organization that provides opportunites for girls and young women who have been sexually exploited, and about participating in a P&Wsupported Cave Canem regional workshop in 2009.
G.E.M.S. is a New York City based organization whose mission is to support young women from the ages of 12–24 who have been commercially sexually exploited and domestically trafficked. Young women who receive support from G.E.M.S. often describe themselves as being "in the life."
For five weeks in the fall of 2011, young women from G.E.M.S. showed up to write in community. We gathered around a table, asking unanswerable questions and drafting poems that were received with admiration, thoughtful critique, and applause. In my work as an educator, a student has never failed me. When it comes to poetry and writing, young people always have something to share—it is my job to provide a way for students to enter into a poem.
One entryway, Candy Chang's public art project "Before I Die," urged us to develop lists of what we wanted to do or say before we died. We took our lists and turned them into poems that confided in our mothers, spoke to our children, cursed out good-for-nothings, and professed genuine love. We always filled the page. There was never enough time to write.
Through carefully crafted poems, young women from G.E.M.S. revised the phrase "in the life" to mean "in the life of our poetry," "in the life of our innermost world," and "in the life of our power."

Bedford Blues v Jersey
Following the highs of last season, the current campaign has finished with the Blues tasting home defeat to Jersey who secured their own Championship status thanks to a bonus point 31-41 victory in front of 2659 fans.
It was certainly a back and forth encounter with the visitors streaking into a 3-15 lead thanks to a penalty and tries from James Voss (converted) and Nick Griffiths before a quick fire double from Harry Wells and Ollie Dodge gave Bedford the lead after James Pritchard added the extras to both. Aaron Penberthy – who kicked 21 points in total – added a penalty and then converted Drew Locke's try to make it 17-25 at the break.
Penberthy struck an early penalty after the interval before Brendan Burke – playing his final Blues game – latched onto a Jake Sharp pass to score with Pritchard converting. Penberthy replied with a penalty before Jersey-born Mike Le Bourgeois crashed over with Pritchard converting both to make it 31-31.
As Ealing Trailfinders had picked up two points in their defeat to Rotherham, Jersey knew they had to win and they had to get a bonus point to stay up. Their mission was completed in the 68th minute when referee Andrew Small ran under the uprights following a Blues infringement at a driving maul. Penberthy converted and then put the game out of touch with a 74th minute penalty to seal the win.
It was a disappointing finale to the Blues season and certainly wasn't the way that the team had hoped to see off the departing Sacha Harding and Brendan Burke but all eyes now focus on the 2014/15 Greene King IPA Championship campaign.
Come on you Blues!

In a Portland courtroom Thursday, 16-year-old Blue Kalmbach told the victim in a quiet voice that he was sorry for his actions. Kalmbach was the last of four teenagers to be sentenced in the case. Police and prosecutors say the teens spent the evening before the February attack sketching out ideas for torturing the 17-year-old victim. Before Kalmbach carved the swastika, they shot the victim with a BB gun, hit with him a bat and forced him to eat cat feces. The victim did not address the court, and bangs covered his forehead. His mother says the scar mostly has healed, but her son has nightmares. The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of violent crimes.

Why do their cheap meatballs taste so good?
Why are bookshelves named Billy?
Why can't store layouts be normal?
These questions, and more, will no doubt be posed by the visitors who head to the new IKEA Museum opening next year.
Of course, we might need to hammer together our own answers, having wound our way through thousands of irrelevant facts first.
But perhaps a DIY museum experience will be even more satisfying once completed.
The furniture company that changed the affordability of design has filed to build a museum on the site of its first store in Sweden.
Tentatively scheduled to open in fall 2015, the museum will take up 7,000 square meters on the site of the recently relocated IKEA store in Almhult, also the site of IKEA'S first store opened by founder Ingvar Kamprad in 1958.
Almhult is known as "IKEA Town" for being the birthplace of IKEA, which still maintains a strong corporate presence in the city.
While the then-17-year-old Kamprad had already registered IKEA as a business in 1943, selling products ranging from nylon stockings to cigarette lighters, the Almhult site was the first brick-and-mortar store as well as the company's first furniture showroom.
READ: The hotel room you can pack and and bring with you
A small exhibition of IKEA's history, titled "IKEA through the ages," is already in place at the basement of the corporate culture center in Älmhult, but company reps are hoping that the new museum will be a much bigger tourist draw.
"In the IKEA Museum we plan to tell the IKEA story, focusing on range, business and people development over time," said Michele Acuna, managing director for IKEA Tillsammans, the corporate culture center.
"We also plan to have a museum shop and food services for our visitors," said Acuna, adding that the museum is expected to draw "roughly 200,000 visitors annually when it is in full steam."

Depending on which batch system you're going to use, this can be fairly easy data to collect. The PBS accounting records are not terribly easy to read. Our accounting scripts utilize a simple state machine to pull the necessary data. GridEngine accounting records are very easy to grab data from. Simple colon delimited format, one job per line. Sun also released the ARCo accounting tool. [They released it open source immediately following me completing development on just such a tool....] It will allow you to poll useful information out of the accounting records w/o doing a bunch of scripting.
