Three weeks ago, we pointed you guys to the greatness of the Cincinnati Bengals fight song.
And the fact is that if we were going to introduce you to that, we have to do this, and bring you the godfather of all outdated NFL anthems (Hail to the Redskins stands the test of time, right?). So without further ado …
There's an updated version too, done by T-Pain … you can find that one (which is a little weird) right here.

Authors and Artists for Young Adults on Susan Beth Pfeffer
Called "one of the most popular young adult writers on the scene" by Book Report contributor Miriam Rinn, prolific author of young-adult and middle grade novels Susan Beth Pfeffer has garnered praise for her handling of controversial subjects within the dramatic novel format. A Publishers Weekly critic, for instance, called the author "a natural storyteller with an acute ear" in a review of Whatever Words You Want to Hear, a realistic tale of teenage romance. Other novels take a lighter view of life. In Children's Book Review Service critic Glenda Broughton's opinion, Pfeffer's What Do You Do When Your Mouth Won't Open" is "another delightful story," this one about a twelve year old who, though terrified of public speaking, finds her courage when she has to present an essay at a school contest. "Probably lots of kids will identify with [the protagonist's] problems and cheer her strength and...

Bailout Is The New Black
Posted by Rob, Monday, January 05, 2009 8:57 AM
I wonder if the recession has hit
Shaqueefa Threads
as hard as others have been smacked. Looks like the film production budget is strong and they remain in the streets as you can
see in this Shaqueefa Crew and Friends video containing
SPoT Family, SPoT FSEC members (Former SPoT Employee Club), and the one remaining current employee. When you start with
a Ramen Noodles budget, there's isn't much to cut back. Our numbers here at SPoT have not been looking the best they
ever have either. More on that later. I've been working on all kinds of tech/nerd crap for the site involving
subliminal sales pitches to improve the bid'niss digits.
For example, now when you add
something to your cart, you get a "Things People Buy After Viewing What You Put In Your Cart" list. I stole
that idea straight from Amazon.com after buying something there this weekend. Like most sales
pithces, it's a 100% lie. That list really comes from us back here in Innetech assigning related products to
help make shopping easier for you. It wouldn't sound as cool if I told the truth. Welcome to the sketchy skateboard industry, kiddies. Surprise, the grown ups lie to you, and this is just a little white one. We are also organizing pro products. Anyway, while content here is slow
and things are keeping all of us busy, don't forget the News Watcher
Page for a nice daily dose of random skate crap. And of course, the best skateboarding viewed on a computer screen is
The Berrics.

Cute Shoe

About Me Stylish
Comments about fullbeauty Alicia Sandal by Comfortview:
The straps are way too big need to take the shoes to a shoe repair and see if they can be made tighter, can't wear them for long cause they slip too much, but I love the look of the shoe!!!

Comfy but...
By Normal Mom
from Chicagoland Area
First off, it's very cute and comfortable! Well-made, too. Here's the problem--the pair I got was at least a half-size too small in length, and seemed like a wide-width rather than a medium-width. I double-checked my order, the box, and both shoes to make sure what I wanted was what I got; and it all matched. The only thing I can think is they were mis-sized. My toes hang over the ends by .25 to .5 an inch, and there is enough space between the straps and my foot for me to get my fingers in.
Good Shoe
By TJ
from Atlanta, GA
I returned the original size I'd gotten, and got this 1/2 a size smaller than usual and less wide--now it's just about perfect and I wish I could buy a second pair in a different color!
Way too big!
About Me Conservative
I ordered this shoe in my regular size--in which size I have many other shoes of the same brand which fit well--and I had to double-check the size when I tried it on: this seemed at least a half size too long and too wide! It's a very cute shoe, and seems to be well-made, but I can't wear a shoe that is so clearly too big. Returning it for a smaller size today, and hoping for the best.

They feel a little wide and you foot slides forward but it isn't an uncomfortable slide that burns the bottom of your foot or causes irritation.

I purchased 1 pair of these sandals and I just ordered 2 more pair. I absolutely love them. My 18 year old granddaughter said Gma wear did you get those cute sandals. You can't go wrong they are comfortable for long walks, so cute and stylish andlightweight but durable. Recommend Highly
Comfee and pretty
By Liz
from Lake Placid, Florida
I am retired so I don't really have to dress up a lot. I like comfort and pretty and this is what this sandal has. I realize that wide shoes are more comfortable and I should choose sandals as much as possible because of my toes. This sandal makes my feet look pretty and I am very comfortable in it.
Just what I wanted but......
By Tric
from New Prague, MN
About Me Casual, Conservative
I searched for these shoes for a long time and decided on these because of the style and the zipper. I ordered a 7.5 medium (B) they however are not medium they are more of a wide. I thought shoe sizes were all standard even from woman within. I think if they weren't so loose they wouldn't rub so much on my lower calf, back and front. I'm glad I got a great deal.
I purchased them in WW and they were nice but too big.

Nice Sandals
By Still Sassy
from San Antonio, TX
I wore with a lovely ankle length casual dress and they looked great. Wore on vacation and actually never broke them in first!
Love These Sandals!!!
By Jean
from Norwich, CT
I am someone who has a very difficult time finding sandals that fit my wide but thick foot. I originally ordered black and then loved them so much, I ordered the brown ones. I will probably order another pair to make sure I have ones for next summer. I can't tell you how many compliments I receive while wearing these and to be able to have a comfortable pair of sandals is absolutely enjoyable. Something that doesn't happen very often for me. Buy them...you will love them!!!!

By suzy6890

These sandals are super cute. It did take returning them for a second time to get a proper fit. It seems to run large and really wide for my feet. I usually wear an 10 1/2 wide. I returned for a 10 wide and could have gone with a regular width.

About Me Casual, Conservative, Trendy
these sandals are just ok, they fit a iittle big and my foot slides forward and makes my toes look like they are hanging off the front. They also look a little "plastic-ee"
By None
from Philadelphia,Pennsylvania
By JBqueen
from Overland Park, KS
So, I bought the wide and they were way wide, like the straps are not even touching my feet. And I have quite wide feet! Despite that, they were fairly comfortable when I first tried them on, so I gave them a try. When I wore them to work, I ended up with blisters in 3 places. The back, where the zipper is, is very stiff & high, and rubs at your calf. Then the straps by the toes, despite it being super wide rubbed into my pinky toes, too. I think it's because the material seems kind of cheap and the stitching is really scratchy material. Oh well, they are somewhat cute, worn in small doses!
Great looking and comfortable

Stylish and comfortable insoles, but too wide.
By Brenda

The sandals are very stylish but the size seemed to run big..they are very wide. After wearing them a few times the straps really stretched out. The cost to return was too expensive. I ended up giving these size 8 sandals to a co-worker who normally wears size 9.

* The second pressing of the UK lp for "Purge" comes in a totally
different picture sleeve (in brown sleeve) and record jacket picture
sleeve, but with the same exact record and record labels as that of
its original pressing. Initial copies of this reissuance also came
with the UK 12" for "Burn Down" (SOX 018) shrinkwrapped to it (and a
circular black [print] on white sleeve sticker affixed).
* On the UK releases for "Purge", there are no discernable separating breaks in between tracks #A2 and #A3 (combined time: 6:21), and/or tracks #B3 and #B4 (combined time: 5:43). * Both UK lp releases for "Purge" have the following messages etched into their run-out grooves, on Side A [that side]: "YOU TO TUGGY TOO TOO", and on Side B [that side]: "AW VS CARPETS". * The UK 12" for "Burn Down" has the following messages etched into its run-out grooves, on Side A: "THE HAMMERMAN POET", and on Side B: "EAT SHIT AND DIE". | ||||||||||

* The UK single-sided promotional-only 7" for "Bee Head" is limited to
500 copies, and comes only in a generic die-cut (one side only) white
paper record jacket. Side A's record label states: "From the
forthcoming 4 track e.p. 'Bee Head'".
* The UK single-sided promotional-only 7" for "Bee Head" incorrectly identifies track #1 as simply "Bee Head". The correction is as appears above. * One second after the very end of the song "Bee Head (7" version)", a very faint voice can be heard if the volume is turned up to a very high level. It is that of John Corrigan yelling during the actual time of this record's pressing/mastering - somehow the machine which pressed the original acetate was able to pick up his voice (the three words which he shouts are indecipherable, however). * Although the record's label for "Bee Head" states that it is `Made In France', this 12" ep. is actually a UK release (as it reads on the spine of its picture sleeve: `Made In England'). * The UK 12" ep. for "Bee Head" has the following messages etched into its run-out grooves, on Side A: "TORTURED MOST SEVERELY", and on Side B: "IT'S LIKE PRAYER". | ||||||||||

ep. in both the UK and US (regardless of the fact that it was listed
as an upcoming release in an April/May 1989 WAX TRAX! `new release'
advertisement which appeared in several magazines at the time).
* The UK white-label test pressing-only 12" ep. for "Leathernecks" is limited to 200 copies. * The US test pressing-only 12" ep. for "Leathernecks" comes in a white generic die-cut sleeve. The record's label is a HUB-SERVALL RECORD MFG. CORP. label, and has a rectangular black [computer print] on white sticker affixed which features the track listing. The record's run-out groove has the call numbers, "WAX 067" and "SOX 036", etched into each side of it. * The US test pressing-only 12" ep. for "Leathernecks" incorrectly identifies track #A1 as "Leathernecks", track #B1 as "Monster", and omits [the untitled] track #B2, "--------------- [leathernecks - track #B2]", from its tracklisting altogether.

What about Wii U owners who got theirs on day 1?

I have no idea yet, and it's exciting!
That said, my family got a Wii U on Black Friday, and I have been playing it sporadically since Christmas, so that's partway there. I have a feeling I'll lean towards the Microsoft ecosystem, especially if DLC and downloadable titles carry from generation to generation.

I will probably go with Microsoft's console, but we will have to wait and see since we know nothing about them.

I honestly don't know. I kind of doubt it'll be a day 1 for me, but I am really excited to see what Sony comes out with. I'll likely wait a little longer on Microsoft's next thing.

Do we consider the Wii U to be next-gen?
If so, I'm already disappointed.
I voted D, but I also kind of feel like my answer is C. My next big purchase will probably be an upgraded GPU for my PC before I consider buying a new console. I would be more inclined to get the next Sony system since I bought more exclusives for my PS3 than I did for the 360. I will still get at least one of them though since I still kind of suck with keyboard and mouse controls for PC online multiplayer games. I'm not much better with a controller, but at least I can compete.

Maybe add a decide when we hear specs/details on consoles? That could sway me either way right now.. also first party release titles.

unless they have a truly compelling feature set and/or price point, there's no way in hell i'm buying day 1. i have a good pc with a healthy steam backlog, and to be honest, i'm not chomping at the bit to deal with launch-day lines, shortages, prices, and half-baked titles. they'd have to have a serious system seller to convince me to pull the trigger so early.
also, were i to buy- i'd probably go with sony. xbox live isn't worth paying for in it's current state, IMHO.
No. I feel next-gen won't be so hot. Second hand market policies, expected rise in the price of games and budgets, the shrinking of creativity and the number of new games and developers in the market (as a consequence of larger budgets required to develop top tier titles), new and not so cool DLC practices, and other, new and old, general shitty (consumer-wise) measures (like real money auction houses) , don't make me optimistic about the future of this hobby.
Of course there is a good thing about the next generation, appart from the increase in quality of the graphics, indie development should continue to rise, taking advantage of the surge in popularity they have today and the pains of next generation development.

Im expecting to be getting PS4 day 1 but that could change when we actually get some proper information on the new consoles.

Can you even make that decision right now ? I'll buy whichever console has games I want to play, but I'm not clairvoyant so I don't know which one it'll be. Probably both though, just not at the same time.

Microsoft will have to do something spectacular to get me to even buy their next box.
I mainly play PC, but I can see myself getting a PS4 day one if there is even one game I would want to play on it and it's less than $600.
Gonna have to buy one of them for console-exclusives (too many good third-party games are still not coming on PC). Probably gonna go with Playstation though, unless MS shapes the fuck up when it comes to first-party. If they're gonna try to push the new Xbox with COD and Halo they can forget about it.

It depends on the games that are coming out on launch, but i'll most likely get a PS4 and Xbox 720 on launch day unless the lineup just sucks.
I know this is a bad idea, my mom got me a Xbox 360 a couple months after launch when they were still super hard to find. But I had to return it 4 times because of the red ring over the course of 2 years. But still man, I am an adult now, with a real paying job so fuck logic, I am getting me the next xbox.
No, this time I'll be waiting until the systems have a solid lineup of console exclusive games before buying one, because 'option c.' When I do buy one, I'll probably go with the Sony system. Not because of any brand loyalty, but because I prefer the controller.

Sure I'll be a day one adopter, there was no poll choice for both.
My wife already got us a wii u for Christmas. And I do consider it a next gen system I am really enjoying it.
I think next year I am going to try and get a gaming PC I am honestly tired of being nickel and dimed for everything on consoles.
Most of what I enjoy comes out on PC and the only first party games I have really cared about this gen have been Nintendos and Naughty Dogs. So I feel like I am almost covered by having the wiiu.
I voted for wait and see. I'm leaning towards the next XBox but very weary of technical issues at launch. It will also depend on how owned content, achievements and the XBox 360 profile will carry forward. If that is handled poorly it opens me up to a PC or PS4.

I got a real nice PC as it is, but it's just not the same. All my mates have Xbox's and I feel I am missing out when I play games on PC's just for nicer graphics lately, missing out on co-op and achievements!
Plus there is something real nice of putting in a game and it looking fantastic, like the first few years of the 360.

I'll buy a Durango. Probably. Most likely. Hard to say since I know next to nothing about it. I like to think it'll be worth buying though because my 360 was my box of choice last generation.
@PhilipDuck said:

Yeah, that's the choice I was looking for. I'm not going to decide anything until I know what I'm deciding on, and that means seeing specs and games.

NextBox would be my choice but first-day purchase will depend on many factors, inc cost (obviously), launch games, ability to play used games on the system, and more. I have a pretty good gaming PC nowadays and w/ Steam that's opened up a whole new world for me. My gaming time is limited so I'm not going to jump at the next hot tech if there's other options.
I'd put money on the idea that once the new consoles come out no one's PC is going to feel very "next gen."
It's the technology that will come 6+ months after the console releases that will do it.
New consoles always squeeze a bit more power out of the hardware which for a very short time wins them the race which in turn allows them to create even more advanced titles.
Then the floodgates will open.

As of right now going by the rumors the PS4 Omni will only marginally be better than the Wii U (to cut costs and so they can bundle it with that weird Omniviewer thing without hitting it hitting $599 again) with the Xbox being the technical powerhouse. So unless services wise XBL takes a step back, i'll go with the Xbox. Though the Holiday "soft launch" thing has me worried. Though even if that last batch of rumors isn't true I'l still probably go Xbox. Sony's first party doesn't grab me, and PSN kinda sucks and I don't trust them will make the right moves to catch up.

"Day 1", no. First 6 months or so, yes. I don't think I need both a PS4 and Xbox so I can't say which of those two I'll eventually get. Probably the PS4 because the only franchise I care about that's exclusive to Microsoft is Halo. My PC is where I play many of my multi-platform games.

Unless the prices are outrageous or there is something reeeeeeeally disappointing/disturbing about the systems' specs/capabilities, I am pretty likely to dive in head first and get both Microsoft's and Sony's next console at or very near launch.

Just got a new PC and loving it. But getting the next Xbox day 1 is pretty much a given. I'm a sucker for console launches for platform of choice. Got a PS2 and the Xbox 360 day 1. Got to the Xbox and PS3 later on. I just find it too exciting to pass up on and I think Microsoft is going to be pushing exclusives at least early on for the next Xbox. They started up some studios and I wouldn't be surprised to see them paying for some third party exclusives, timed or completely locked up.

As much as I try, I can't get the idea of my pc (even though it was built for gaming) is not simply a tool, so I will always go back to consoles.
As of yet, I have never bought a console on day one, and it's unlikely that I will this time around. I think its silly to try and choose one without knowing anything about them, but if I were going to make a snap decision based on my current situation, it would be the xbox simply because I have a longstanding user account, with a lot of purchases attached to it and an already defined friends list. My PS3 have been used almost entirely for platform exclusives, and I have little attachment to my account, and don't really care about any of the (few) attached purchases

6920: Laocoon and his sons, c. 25 BC, Rhodes. Copy at Konstakademin, Stockholm.
Fateful device
Troy was taken in the tenth year of the war, not mainly by force but through the stratagem of the WOODEN HORSE, conceived by Odysseus: The Achaeans let the architect Epeius 2 fall timber on Mount Ida and construct a WOODEN HORSE with a hollow interior and an opening in the side. Then, following Odysseus' advice, they introduced the best warriors into that dangerous device, and after appointing Odysseus their leader, they engraved on the horse a treacherous inscription:
"For their return home, the Achaeans dedicate this thank-offering to Athena." (Apollodorus, Library "Epitome" 5.15).
This is how the Achaeans feigned retreat; and the next day the Trojans, finding the enemy camp deserted and believing that the Achaeans had fled, dragged the horse to the citadel.
Cassandra's warning
Having stationed it beside the king's palace, they deliberated what they should do, whether to hurl it down from the rocks, to burn it, or to let it stand as a great offering to the gods. It was then that the god-maddened seeress Cassandra declared, with her frenzied voice, that there was an armed force hidden inside the WOODEN HORSE, warning the others thus:
"O wretched men! why rage you possessed, dragging this unfriendly horse, hasting to your last night and the end of the war and the sleep that knows no waking?" (Cassandra to the Trojans. Tryphiodorus, The Taking of Ilios 375).
Yet no one was to believe Cassandra; for she had been cursed by the same god who gave her the gift of prophecy in exchange for a promise she never fulfilled. So Apollo (for this one was the god), avenging the broken promise, caused her prophecies not to be believed.
Laocoon 2's short appearance
It is now that the seer Laocoon 2, priest of Apollo, comes into the story for the first time (for nothing is told about his childhood or youth), confirming Cassandra and exhorting the Trojans to burn the WOODEN HORSE:
"Is it thus you know Odysseus? Trojans, trust not the horse. Whatever it be, I fear the Greeks, even when bringing gifts." (Laocoon 2 to the Trojans. Virgil, Aeneid 2.48).
Some say that Laocoon 2 even threw his spear against the horse.
Athena stays Laocoon 2
But others say that the Trojans were about to obey him when Athena shook the foundations of the earth at his feet as a warning; and since he did not cease to exhort the Trojans, the goddess, stabbing his eyeballs with anguish, robbed him of his sight. And when he nevertheless persisted, she sent two serpents or dragons from Calydna against the sons of the seer, chaining their feet as all others, except their father, escaped. This is how, some say, Laocoon 2's sons died, and their father was blinded.
Apollo sent the snakes
Yet others affirm that it was Apollo who sent the two serpents swimming through the sea from the neighboring islands to devour the sons of Laocoon 2, and that as he hurried, weapon in hand, to help his sons, he was killed by the monsters, which, gliding away, disappeared into a shrine.
The force of adversity
Now, if the snakes had not come, or if Laocoon 2 had succeeded in defeating them, he had been deemed to be a very wise man, who knew the secret of the WOODEN HORSE without opening it. But since adverse circumstances overwhelmed him, many argued that the man had got what he deserved, and that the horse should be brought to the shrine of Athena (the same goddess who was misleading them), which they did, thus laying open the heart of the city. For the majority among the Trojans, being no different from any other majority of men, preferred success before good sense, and seeing how Laocoon 2 had been destroyed, they refused to imagine that a man, though defeated, could still be in possession of the truth. But the majority must prevail, sometimes against all sense; and so, since most Trojans were in favor of sparing the wonderful horse, they all ended, as a result, sleeping with the enemy within the walls. The majority never woke up, being slain in their beds.
Additional note
Now, why would Apollo sent the monsters to destroy his priest? According to Frazer, Servius (himself based on Euphorion) says that Laocoon 2 had incurred the wrath of the god by sleeping with his wife in the presence of the deity's image; and Frazer adds that Tzetzes affirms that Laocoon 2's son died in the temple of the Thymbraean Apollo, the scene of the sacrilege thus becoming the scene of the punishment.
Concerning the famous statue (see copy at top of page). says Frazer:
"That group, the work of three Rhodian sculptors, graced the palace of the emperor Titus in the time of Pliny, who declared that it was to be preferred to any other work either of sculpture or painting." (Pliny, Nat. Hist. xxxvi.37).
Another with identical name
Laocoon 1 is the same as Lacoon, one of the ARGONAUTS.
Acoetes 1 & unknown
Acoetes 1 is known for being the father of Laocoon 2.
Thymbraeus 1
The name of Laocoon 2's wife is unknown, but her presence has been reported when her children died and her husband was blinded (Quintus Smyrnaeus). Some have said that these brothers were killed by the serpents; others say that the serpents killed only one. Thymbraeus 1 might have died in battle slain by Diomedes 2 before the fall of Troy.

Human Trafficking
Quotess | Organizations | Publications |
Trafficking in human beings (or human trafficking) involves the movement of people (mostly women and children) against their will by means of force for the purpose of sexual or labor exploitation. Examples include abduction for sexual and domestic service (including boys), abduction for debt release, the exchange of women for settlement of disputes, forced prostitution, and sexual exploitation of children. Visit the Trafficking in Human Beings entry from the Wikipedia for more information.
"Trafficking is a transnational criminal enterprise. It recognizes neither boundaries nor borders. Profits from trafficking feed into the coffers of organized crime. Trafficking is fueled by other criminal activities such as document fraud, money laundering and migrant smuggling. Because trafficking cases are expansive in reach, they are among the most important matters - as well as the most labor and time-intensive matters - undertaken by the Department of Justice." Remarks by Attorney General John Ashcroft, 2/25/03, posted on Trafficking in Persons Information, a web page provided by the U.S. Attorney General's Office.
"According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the U.S. State Department, 700,000 to 2 million people, the majority of them women and children, are trafficked each year across international borders. Thirty-five percent are under the age of 18 ... .According to CRS, trafficking in people represents the third-largest source of profits for organized crime after drugs and guns, generating billions of dollars each year." Source: "Human Trafficking Exposed", Population Today v.30 no.1 (Jan 2002): p.1,4
The Department of Justice estimates that 17,000 people are trafficked into the United States each year and forced into labor or sex slavery for little or no pay, dehumanized and abused both mentally and physically. Worldwide, the United Nations estimates that there are between 20-27 million people who are held in slavery, by violence, against their will and for no pay. Source: National MultiCultural Institute (NMCI) Human Trafficking Search Web Portal News Release, February 13, 2006.
Testifying "before the Near Eastern and South Asian affairs subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee, Frank Loy, [U.S.] undersecretary of state for global affairs, said that the number of victims involved in sexual and other forms of trafficking began to grow in the early 1990s and now totals about 700,000 yearly across borders and from 1 million to 2 million overall. The combined testimony before the subcommittee suggested that the trafficking of women and children, many of whom are forced into prostitution, is a worldwide human rights problem that may involve 2 million people a year ... .The victims are primarily from Asia, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Latin America and Africa. An estimated 1 million children, most of them from Asia, will be victims of trafficking this year. About 500,000 Brazilian children are forced into prostitution each year. An estimated 250,000 women and children from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union are transported per year to other countries, including the U.S. Almost 200,000 females, most under 18, from Nepal work in brothels in India."

Human Trafficking and Slavery. Are the world's nations doing enough to stamp it out? From the villages of Sudan to the factories, sweatshops and brothels of India and South Asia, slavery and human trafficking still flourish. Some 27 million people worldwide are held in some form of slavery, forced prostitution or bonded labor. Some humanitarian groups buy captives' freedom, but critics say that only encourages slave traders to seize more victims. Meanwhile, nearly a million people are forcibly trafficked across international borders annually and held in captivity. Even in the United States, thousands of women and children from overseas are forced to become sex workers. Congress recently strengthened the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, but critics say it is still not tough enough, and that certain U.S. allies that harbor traffickers are treated with kid gloves for political reasons.

Human Trafficking has even spread to Michigan. "The man who police say organized an illegal alien smuggling ring that trapped two Albanian refugees in a railroad car last March in Holland (Michigan) will be spending most of the next decade in prison.... Macomb County resident Kole Vushaj pleaded guilty in June to 30 counts of alien-smuggling and other offenses, the U.S. attorney's office said."

UN GIFT : Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking
Human trafficking is a booming international trade, making billions of dollars at the expense of millions of victims, many of them children, who are robbed of their dignity and freedom. Although most of us have never witnessed this crime, it happens every day all around the world. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with financial support from the Crown Prince of the United Arab Emirates, has therefore set in motion a Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking (UN.GIFT).

Trafficking in Human Beings
Human trafficking is the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them. Human trafficking is a crime against humanity. The UNODC Global Programme against Trafficking in Human Beings (GPAT) assists countries in their efforts to combat this crime. Virtually every country in the world is affected by trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labour. The challenges for all countries, rich and poor, are to target the criminals who exploit desperate people and to protect trafficking victims. As the only U.N. entity focusing on the criminal justice element, the GPAT brings special expertise to the fight against trafficking.

Crossing Borders Against Trafficking in Women and Girls
A Resource Book for Working Against Trafficking in the Baltic Sea Region. 2nd edition, 1999. Trafficking in women and girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation in the form of prostitution, pornography, escorts, and such is a growing phenomenon in Europe and throughout the world. As a result of poverty and limited work opportunities, young women from the third world, and increasingly, from Eastern Europe, leave their countries in search of work. These women become prey to traffickers who promise such work as dancing or hostessing. Instead, these women end up living in slave-like conditions, under the full control of the profiteer/pimp.

Trafficking and Prostitution: The Growing Exploitation of Migrant Women in Greece
This article concentrates on the rapid growth of trafficking in women from Eastern and Central Europe who end up working in the sex industry in Athens. Such movement of people is constituted around global networks of female labour. The social processes and mechanisms that produce and reproduce the somatic and social exploitation of female migrants caught in the web of the sex industry are analysed. These processes are responsible for a continuation and accentuation of women's loss of power to represent their interests, to seek viable economic alternatives. The living and working spaces of these women rest upon their isolation and individuation and total control of their everyday activities. Ethnicity, age and racialized exclusions all intersect with sexist relations and practices within Greek society and the ethnic communities under study. The interplay of these processes operates differently within different ethnic groups of women to produce different outcomes.

Trafficking in persons - also known as "human trafficking" - is a form of modern-day slavery. Traffickers often prey on individuals who are poor, frequently unemployed or underemployed, and who may lack access to social safety nets, predominantly women and children in certain countries. Victims are often lured with false promises of good jobs and better lives, and then forced to work under brutal and inhuman conditions. A report by the U.S. Women's Bureau.

Trafficking in Persons Report, 2001
This first annual report (2001) covers events through April 15, 2001. "Trafficking in persons is a fundamental and crucially important challenge in the areas of human rights and law enforcement. Based on reliable estimates, as the Congress has noted, at least 700,000 persons, especially women and children, are trafficked each year across international borders. Some observers estimate that the number may be significantly higher. Victims are forced to toil in sweatshops, construction sites, brothels, and fields. Deprived of the enjoyment of their human rights, many victims are subjected to threats against their person and family, violence, horrific living conditions, and dangerous workplaces. Some victims have answered advertisements believing that they will have a good job awaiting them in a new country. Others have been sold into this modern-day form of slavery by a relative, acquaintance, or family friend. Trafficking occurs across borders and within countries. It is found in both developed and developing nations, in countries where the government abuses human rights, and in countries where the government's human
rights record is generally excellent." U.S. Department of State, July 2001.

Through this annual report, the United States seeks to bring international attention to the horrific practice of trafficking in persons. This report is a diplomatic tool for the U.S. Government in combating trafficking in persons, serving as an instrument for continued dialogue, and a means to encourage increased prosecution, protection, and prevention programs. After the release of this report, the Department will continue to engage in discussions with governments to help strengthen cooperative efforts to eradicate trafficking. The Department will use the information gained during the report compilation to target assistance programs more effectively. Hopefully, the report will be a catalyst for governmental efforts to combat
trafficking in persons around the world, so that this degrading practice is eventually eliminated.

At the start of the season, the Molloy girls' basketball coach talked about making a run at league giant Christ the King. And he backed up those words by classifying his Stanners as a 'AA' team, the highest of the CHSAA's four-tier classification in a preseason meeting in October. After winning back-to-back lower level state Federation championships, Molloy would finally be the team that would challenge Christ the King in Brooklyn/Queens. But that all changed for Towey and Molloy Dec. 15 when star guard Rosalyn Gold Onwude went down with a sprained right knee. The Stanners learned the Stanford-bound star would be lost for the year following an MRI Jan. 4. A day earlier and hours before an embarrassing 24-point loss to Bishop Loughlin, Towey penned a letter to league commissioner Rick Matzelle requesting that his team be moved down to Class A. That request has been the hot topic around the league and will be a major point of emphasis at the league's coaches meeting Thursday and the athletic director's meeting Tuesday. "We opted to go 'A' before any league games so the outcome of those games isn't viewed as a reason for us to drop down," Towey said. "What we're doing now is what the rules allow us to do."The athletic directors could very well decide Molloy should remain in the Class AA. Two years ago they did the same thing when Bishop Loughlin tried to move down from what was then the Class C to Class D.Should Molloy move down, they would join St. Francis Prep as the only other Class A team in the Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan, although Bishop Loughlin should be there too. "We declare in October and things happen to everyone," St. Francis Prep coach JoAnn Wagner said. "I lost a starter (Michelle Betos) to soccer, (Mary Louis coach Joe Lewinger) lost two starters. It's unfortunate what happened to (Molloy). When he declared 'AA' I gave him a lot of respect attempting to do that."Allowing Molloy to change its classification in the middle of the season would be a joke and it would trivialize an already comical preseason setup where each team - not the league, its ADs or the commissioner - decides what their classification should be.Can you imagine if we allowed this elsewhere? Theo Davis flies back to Canada and becomes academically ineligible. Should the Cardozo boys' basketball team move to the 'B' division? Or how about Christ the King? Niko Scott missed a month of the season and now Adam Walker is out with a possible stress fracture. Should they move down to the 'A' division?St. John's University lost Jermaine Maybank in the preseason and now Rodney Epperson. There are eight scholarship players left and the Red Storm have to play in the incredibly tough Big East conference. Should Norm Roberts say, 'We lost a few players, we can't compete on this level, let's move to the Atlantic-10 this year."The bottom line is that the CHSAA girls' basketball league needs revamping. They have to follow the example of the boys' league and have a citywide league. Forget this self classification before the start of the year. Teams like Molloy, St. Francis Prep, St. Peter's, St. Michael and Bishop Loughlin - which could be the biggest joke of the league as a Class B school after destroying a 'AA' school in Molloy and easily beating an 'A' school in Notre Dame Academy - would be in the 'AA' league. The boys' league has been widely regarded as the best in the country but only one team - the city championship team - goes up to Glens Falls to compete for the state Federation title. Molloy had the league's best player last year in Sundiata Gaines but still finished behind St. Raymond's and Rice. Gaines is at the University of Georgia but Molloy remains in the 'AA.'St. Francis Prep was a middle of the pack team last year in the 'AA' but was hit hard by graduation. Tim Leary remains in the 'AA' league, facing nationally-ranked teams like Christ the King and Rice on a weekly basis. "It's something I'm definitely not opposed to," Mary Louis coach Joe Lewinger said of a citywide league. "I wouldn't mind being part of a league and play schools we don't normally play."Lewinger isn't the only one who is an advocate."That's ideal, there is no question about it," Wagner said, even though St. Francis Prep would likely be one of the 'AA' teams in this setup. "It's still the best way to go. You go out against the best and leave it out on the court."Added Christ the King coach Bob Mackey: "We should so something similar to what the boys' do."As is the case in the boys' league, where Rice plays Christ the King and St. Raymond's faces Holy Cross, this setup would set up some dream matchups. Imagine Christ the King against St. Michael's Academy twice a year? Or St. Peter's against Bishop Loughlin, or St. John Villa against Molloy. It's all a dream right now. What's left for the league is a confusing, comical reality. Reach Sports Editor Dylan Butler by e-mail at TimesLedger@aol. or call 718-229-0300, Ext. 143.

CHICAGO, Feb 25, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Chromatin, Inc., an agriculture technology company, announced today that it has created sorghum plants containing elevated levels of the energy-rich compound farnesene.
"We have demonstrated that sorghum can be modified to produce significantly elevated quantities of farnesene relative to commercial inbred sorghum lines, a molecule that can be used to create energy-rich biofuel," said Ken Davenport, Chromatin's Chief Technology Officer. "To achieve this result, we added and expressed up to nine genes, creating an entire biosynthetic pathway in sorghum. Chromatin's unique expertise in gene stacking has enabled us to combine more genes than previously reported in this crop."
This milestone achievement was supported in part by the Department of Energy's ARPA-E program Plants Engineered To Replace Oil (PETRO). Chromatin's scientific team, led by Ramesh Nair, presented the work today at the 2014 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit.
Like sugarcane, sorghum has traditionally been used as a source of sugars that can be subsequently converted to biofuels by microbes. By creating farnesene within sorghum, it becomes possible to bypass expensive microbial fermentation and directly harvest biofuels from the crop itself. Because sorghum can grow on over 80% of the world's land, including marginal land with limited access to water, this innovation could lead to a global expansion of on-farm biofuel production. "With this demonstration, we can focus on making changes that increase the quantities of farnesene made within this crop, as well as in the related crop sugarcane," said Davenport. "Further, because farnesene is part of the terpenoid pathway, we can now consider using sorghum and sugarcane to create other high-value chemicals, including fragrances, flavors, and fuels."
Chromatin is bringing innovations to sorghum — a high-yielding and drought tolerant crop that can meet the growing demand for sustainable biomass production. Chromatin's product pipeline includes sorghum hybrids for traditional agriculture, as well as biomass and sugar-rich hybrids designed for renewable energy applications.
"We are pleased to include farnesene sorghum as part of our product pipeline," said Daphne Preuss, Chromatin's CEO. "Although several years of development are required before a product launch, Chromatin's work shows that sorghum can be developed as a biorefinery, capable of sustainable production of complex chemicals."
About Chromatin:
Chromatin, Inc. develops sorghum for both traditional agriculture markets and for uses in new applications. It provides high quality sorghum seeds to growers and producers who are attracted to the crop's rapid maturation, tolerance to heat, cold and drought and high yields. Chromatin has optimized its product portfolio to create sorghum feedstocks that serve as ideal renewable resources for emerging bio-based industries such as liquid transportation fuels, chemicals, materials and biopower. Today, Chromatin's products are sold in the U.S. and in more than 20 countries, where its sorghum seed is planted on over 4 million acres.
