History of the SCAC
The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) was founded and began operation on September 1, 1962, as the College Athletic Conference (CAC). The league's first primary mark is pictured on the left.
Centre College of Danville, Kentucky; Southwestern at Memphis (Tennessee) (now known as Rhodes College); The University of the South of Sewanee, Tennessee; and Washington and Lee University of Lexington, Virginia, were the four charter members of the conference. Later in 1962, Washington University of St. Louis, Missouri, became the fifth member and the CAC remained unchanged until 1972.
Following membership changes throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the conference went through restructuring and renaming. With the addition of Millsaps College of Jackson, Mississippi, and Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas, in 1988 and Hendrix College of Conway, Arkanasas, and Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1991, membership reached a then all-time high of eight.
That same year (1991), the conference renamed itself the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, hired its first full-time commissioner - Stephen P. Argo - and a permanent conference office was established in Atlanta, Georgia. As part of restructuring, the league also adopted its current primary mark (pictured right) and adopted blue (pms 287) and gold (pms 131) as the official colors of the conference.
Membership changes continued throughout the '90s. The SCAC added Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas, in 1993 with participation beginning in the 1994-95 academic year. In 1997-98, the SCAC added both DePauw University of Greencastle, Indiana, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology of Terre Haute, Ind., with participation beginning in 1998-99.
As part of a year-long celebration in 2005-06, the league celebrated its 15th anniversary as the restructured SCAC. The league adopted a special anniversary logo (pictured left) and as part of the celebration, 15th anniversary teams were selected for all conference sponsored sports.
After Rose-Hulman announced its intentions to leave the conference, Austin College of Sherman, Texas and Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colorado, were confirmed as the 10th and 11th members of the league in 2006 with participation beginning in the 2006-07 academic year.
Birmingham-Southern College of Birmingham, Alabama, a former member of the Division I Big South Conference, was approved as the 12th member of the SCAC and began play in 2007-08.
Prior to the 2010-11 academic year, DePauw University announced that it would leave the conference. The University of Dallas was quickly tabbed to replace DePauw effective July 1, 2011 - maintaining the league's membership total at 12 institutions.
In 2010-11, the league celebrated its 20th anniversary as the restructured SCAC. As part of the celebration, in addition to the use of a special mark (pictured right), the league office selected the Top 20 moments for each conference-sponsored sport. Those moments were announced throughout the 2010-11 academic year.
After the conclusion of the June 7, 2011 SCAC Presidents' meeting, the conference announced that seven of its twelve member institutions would be leaving to form a new conference effective at the conclusion of the 2011-12 academic year. The schools departing include founding CAC/SCAC members Centre College, Sewanee-The University of the South, and Rhodes College, in addition to Birmingham-Southern College, Hendrix College, Millsaps College, and Oglethorpe University.
With membership down to five institutions – the conference's lowest number since the 1979-80 academic year – the "new" SCAC wasted little time in adding to its membership rolls.
On September 28, 2011, Centenary College of Louisiana, a former American Southwest Conference institution, announced it would be joining the SCAC beginning in the 2012-2013 season. Two more ASC schools chose to come aboard the SCAC for the 2013-14 season: Schreiner University announced its decision on January 23, 2012, and on February 16, 2012, Texas Lutheran University announced it too would join the SCAC.
The addition of Texas Lutheran insured that the conference would retain its status as an active NCAA Division III conference as well as automatic bids in nine of its 14 AQ sports, including baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's tennis, women's tennis and volleyball.
In 2015-16, the conference celebrated the 25th anniversary of the league's name change from the College Athletic Conference (CAC) to the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). The restructuring of the SCAC in 1991 was significant in many ways but the most prominent result of that restructuring was the addition of women's athletics as part of the conference's sports sponsorship package. A special "silver anniversary" logo was produced by the conference office (pictured left) and featured prominently throughout the academic year to celebrate and recognize the history and growth of the SCAC over the last 25 years.
Johnson & Wales University (Denver) accepted an offer of membership in February of 2017, becoming the ninth member of the SCAC, and began league play in 2018-19. In February of 2018, the University of St. Thomas (Texas) was offered and accepted membership in the league, becoming the SCAC's 10th member with participation slated for the 2019-20 academic year.
On the national athletics stage, the SCAC has had its fair share of success - both in terms of team championships (10) and individual championships (34).
In the days when the league was known at the College Athletic Conference, Chris Fugman of Centre College gave the conference its first individual title with a victory in the 400 IM at the 1980 NCAA Division III Men's Swimming & Diving Championships, and Chris Trapp of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology won the men's javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Track Field national championships three straight years (1984-1986).
Nao Kinoshita of Rhodes College won the 1996 Division III women's tennis singles title, capturing the first individual national title in the SCAC era. Kinoshita also won the 1997 singles title and combined with Taylor Tarver to capture the '97 doubles title.
Ryan Loftus of Rose-Hulman captured the men's pole vault title at the 1998 Indoor Track & Field championships.
Heather Stone of University of the South-Sewanee claimed both the women's indoor and outdoor 1,500 meter titles in 2000. And later that same season, the league claimed its first team national championships as Trinity University won both the men's and women's tennis titles.
In the winter of 2003, Matt Smith of Rose-Hulman won the 100 yard breaststroke at the Division III men's national swimming championships, and Trinity captured the women's basketball championship - all in the same weekend.
The following fall (in 2003), the Trinity men's soccer team gave the league title #4, and the DePauw women's basketball team became the fifth team from the conference to win a national championship when it captured the 2006-07 Division III title.
Trinity's Christyn Schumann won the women's high jump at three consecutive NCAA Outdoor Track & Field national championships (2004-06), and Liz Bondi of DePauw captured the 16th individual national championship won by a CAC/SCAC student-athlete when she won the 2007 women's tennis singles title.
The 2008-09 season was a banner year as one team and three individual student-athletes won national titles for the SCAC. Todd Wildman of Trinity won the pentathlon at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field national championships and Chrys Jones of Centre College won the triple jump at the Outdoor Track & Field national championships. On the links, the Oglethorpe University men earned the league's sixth team title with a first-place finish at the NCAA Golf Championships. The Petrels were led by Olafur Loftsson, who earned medalist honors and the league's 19th individual title.
In 2009-10, the SCAC had four different individuals win a total of five national titles. Todd Wildman of Trinity won his second-consecutive indoor national title in the pentathlon. Centre's Chrys Jones double-dipped and claimed national titles in the triple jump at the both the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor national championships. At the 2010 NCAA Swimming & Diving championships, Trinity teammates Lindsay Martin and Hayley Emerick claimed individual titles in the 1-meter and 3-meter boards, respectively.
In 2010-11, Chrys Jones became just the second SCAC student-athlete to win four career individual national titles as he repeated at the NCAA Indoor national championships in the triple jump. Centre's Chris Morris earned the league its 26th individual national title when he claimed medalist honors at the 2011 NCAA Golf Championships.
The 2011-12 academic year was one of the most successful in the league's 50-year history. Tiarra Goode of Birmingham-Southern College won the 60-meter hurdles at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field national championships, Jordan DeGayner of Colorado College won the 200 free at the NCAA Swimming & Diving national championships and Ruth Hahn of Trinity University continued the Tigers' diving dominanace with an individual title on the 3-meter board. Later in the spring, SCAC student-athletes earned two more individual national titles with Anthony Maccaglia of Oglethorpe University earning the league its third medalist in four years at the NCAA Men's Golf championship and Birmingham's Goode picked up her second individual national title with a win in the 100-meter hurdels at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field championships. In addition, Oglethorpe University earned the conference its seventh team national title with a victory at the 2012 NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships.
The "new" SCAC returned to national prominence in 2013-14 as Stephen Culberson of Trinity University won the 100 free at the 2014 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships and, in its first year in the conference, Schreiner University gave the conference its eighth team national championship with a victory at the 2014 NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships - the league's third national title in the sport in six years.
In 2015-16, the league's 25th anniversary year, Trinity University earned the first Division III baseball championship by any program hailing from Texas and the ninth team national title for a SCAC school. The following academic year, Texas Lutheran University's Marquis Brown claimed the conference's 34th individual national title when he won the NCAA Division III Men's Indoor National Championship for the 400 meters.
In the spring of 2019, Texas Lutheran University won the league its 10th team national championship, taking home the Division III Softball Championship with a 2-0 sweep of Emory University in the best-of-three final.
A bell, donated by the Norfolk and Western Railway, was adopted as the SCAC's "President's Trophy" and serves as the symbol for the conference. The President's Trophy is displayed for one year on the campus of the school with the combined men's and women's athletics program that accumulates the highest points total in the all-sports race established by the conference. The bell is awarded at the conclusion of the spring season.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative Supreme Court justices on Wednesday signaled strong doubts about the ongoing validity of a key part of the Voting Rights Act, passed in 1965 to end a century of attempts by formerly slaveholding Southern states to block blacks from voting.
During a tense and sometimes fractious oral argument, which extended beyond the scheduled hour, the nine justices considered the claim made by officials from Alabama's Shelby County that Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act was no longer needed nearly five decades later. The county in the Deep South state had long chafed at federal oversight.
Throughout the argument, conservative and liberal justices alike asked probing, tough questions of all parties, regularly interrupting the lawyers and speaking over one another.
The bid to limit Section 5 comes amid what critics call concerted efforts by Republicans at the state level to suppress the vote of blacks and other Democratic-minded demographic groups. Earlier this month, President Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president, decried barriers to voting in America and announced a commission to address voting issues.
Section 5 enables Congress to exercise its authority under the Constitution's 15th Amendment to require some states, mainly in the South, to show that any proposed election-law change would not discriminate against minority voters.
The 15th Amendment, which gave blacks the right to vote, was adopted in 1870 - five years following the end of the Civil War, which was fought after an ultimately failed rebellion by Southern states intent upon maintaining black slavery.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court's swing vote on racial issues, at one point during the argument said "times change" when it comes to weighing whether the nine states in question should still be treated differently from other states.
For the conservative justices, a repeated refrain was that if Congress wants to enforce voting rights, it should treat all states in the same manner.
Chief Justice John Roberts, for example, cited statistics that conclude the state with the biggest disparity in voter registration between whites and blacks is Massachusetts, which is not one of the covered states.
At one point, the chief justice asked the Obama administration's lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, if it was the government's position that "citizens in the South are more racist than citizens in the North." Verrilli said that was not the government's position.
Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the other conservatives, said that the court should be skeptical of Congress' decision to reauthorize the law in 2006 because it would be politically damaging for politicians to vote against it.
He described the political phenomenon as the "perpetuation of racial entitlement" for minority voters.
The court's four liberal justices mounted a spirited defense of the law, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor a vigorous and persistent questioner throughout. She referred to Shelby County as "a county whose record is the epitome of what caused the passage of this law."
Shelby County officials brought the case after being sought out by a conservative activist, Edward Blum. The case was shepherded by longtime county attorney Frank "Butch" Ellis, a conservative who for years had protested the provision at issue.
In a ruling due by the end of June, the Supreme Court could strike down the provision as sought by Shelby County, or decide that it still passes constitutional muster. It also could avoid the constitutional issue and find that Shelby County simply did not have the legal standing to sue because, due to its history of discrimination, it would not benefit even if Congress revised its formula for deciding which states are covered.
The courtroom drama extended to interactions between the justices, with Scalia and Justice Elena Kagan, a liberal appointed by President Obama in 2010, at one point clashing.
Scalia had said the lopsided 98-0 vote in the U.S. Senate when Congress reauthorized the Voting Rights Act in 2006 was not necessarily a fact that could be cited to support the law.
Kagan, who at 52 is 24 years Scalia's junior, interrupted.
"Well, that sounds like a good argument to me, Justice Scalia," she said in reference to the support for reauthorization. "It was clear to 98 senators, including every senator from a covered state, who decided that there was a continuing need for this piece of legislation."
"Or decided that perhaps they'd better not vote against it," Scalia shot back.
Among those in the packed courtroom were congressman John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and a prominent civil rights champion, and Cecilia Marshall, widow of Thurgood Marshall, who in 1967 became the first black member of the Supreme Court.
Outside the court, a couple of hundred demonstrators gathered in support of the law. Some carried signs saying "Protect VRA" and "Protect My Vote." There were no counter-demonstrators in sight.

Columbia River CRKT 2387 Folts Minimalist Neck Knife 2" Bowie Blade
Columbia River
The CRKT Minimalist, the most comfortable small fixed blade design we have ever seen, is now available in Wharncliffe, Tanto and Bowie blade grinds.
Alan Folts is a knifemaker and metalworker in Greenville, N.C., who makes a remarkable range of custom objects, including titanium chopsticks. His Minimalist neck knives have proven to be very popular, so we are now offering three CRKT production versions.
They are very small and lightweight knives which give surprising comfort and control, thanks to the unusual geometry of the full-tang blades, aided by three finger choils, friction grooves for the thumb, hand-contoured green-black Micarta scales, and a braided fob. Unlike many small neck knives, this handle is really functional for a wide variety of daily cutting tasks. Each Minimalist comes with a custom-fitted Zytel sheath and neck paracord for inverted carry as a neck knife. The knife is held securely in place by a positive detent which locks the base of the blade in place for maximum safety. Because the knife and sheath weigh about two ounces together, it is a personal carry you will barely notice.
Minimalist Wharncliffe. This 2.0" Wharncliffe blade has a point which gives excellent penetration, while the Razor-Sharp straight edge is perfect for scraping, woodworking and precision carving.
Minimalist Tanto. The 2.125" Tanto blade shape is very strong because of the strong central spine of metal which extends nearly to the tip. This version has a straight Razor-Sharp front edge, which allows push cutting, and a concave main edge which feeds material into the edge for fast cutting.
Minimalist Bowie. We also offer a deep-bellied clip-point Bowie style 2.125" blade for those who desire a classic hunting knife blade shape. The Minimalist Bowie makes a great wilderness carry, and can be used for camp chores, cooking, and even skinning and dressing in a pinch. It is also an excellent survival knife.
True to their name, these really are minimal fixed blades, but they are also the most useful for their size that we have seen. And they are certainly great values which explains why the Minimalist family continues to grow.
- The Minimalist fits the hand perfectly, giving a surprising level of comfort and control in a lightweight fixed blade.
- The Minimalist Bowie blade is an ideal short skinning blade for the hunter, as well as an outdoor utility knife.

House Call: Can Dr. J Help Converse Connect With Consumers?
September 26, 2010: Converse is going back to the future, and mixing in some current references, in its new Fall 2010 marketing campaign.
The effort stars Hall of Famer Julius "Dr. J" Erving, who has been aligned with the grand for about 30 years, plays godfather to an array of Converse endorsers, including Carlos Arroyo of the Miami Heat; musicians Jim Jones and Doug E Fresh; streetballers God Shammgod and Adrian "A-Butta" Walton; and streetskaters Kenny Anderson, Sammy Baca, Rune Glifberg and Eli Reed.
The campaign is anchored by a TV spot, "The Procession," that highlights Converse's new Star Player Evo shoe. The spot breaks Sep. 26 on Fox during The Family Guy, and also will air on networks including Comedy Central, Black Entertainment Television and TNT. Support includes print and Internet, where vignettes of the ad will be featured. Lead agency is TeamWorks Media, Chicago.
Converse, founded in 1908, has been hard-pressed to gain attention among consumers who favor basketball shoes, especially since its main endorser, Dwayne Wade, switched in 2009 to Nike sibling Jordan Brand, which also has on its roster the likes of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Hall of Famer Michael Jordan. Nike boasts such stars as Wade's high-profile teammates, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, as well as Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant. Adidas recently lost Kevin Garnett (who signed with Chinese brand Anta), but still leads with Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Tim Duncan and WNBA star Candice Parker. Adidas division Reebok, also seeking to make waves among the hoops hoi polloi, this year signed NBA No. 1 draft pick John Wall.
With just a handful of NBA role players donning the brand, Converse has been seeking to make inroads among enthusiasts of action sports enthusiasts and alternative and rap music. It's main claim to basketball fame continues to be the iconic Chuck Taylor All-Star shoe.
Played out to "Hello Operator" by The White Stripes, "The Procession" opens with the Star Player Evo shoe hanging from a wire and then cuts to a series of scenes in which streets and shops are devoid of people. A mysterious figure wearing a hooded-white sweat shirt and sweat pants appears and sets off a procession of dancers and players dribbling basketballs, some of whom are carrying a basketball trophy mounted on boom-box speaker.
The procession ends at a neighborhood schoolyard, where the trophy is presented to the hooded stranger, Dr. J, who acknowledges the homage and accolades of the players who have followed in his footsteps. That sets off a party in which an array of Converse shoes are featured.
"The new Converse campaign is the perfect summary of who we are as a brand," Geoff Cottrill, CMO of Converse, said in a statement. "It's a celebration of people from different cultures who are passionate about what they do, coming together to create a movement. Converse is a brand that can authentically blend culture in a way that makes perfect sense for how people view and connect to sport, music and culture today – without lines or barriers."
According to Antoine Fuqua, who directed the spot. "Converse is taking it to the streets. Not just basketball, but skateboarding, BMX cats . . . The streets are the heart beat."

At the end of this upcoming week we will leave to head to Atlanta for Spring Break. We are driving. I DON'T fly. In the past I have made sure to have menus of places that can safely feed Jon & I gluten-free. This time, I am going to really depend on packing food for us, as I am trying to save money and we tend to eat much healthier when I pack our food. We leave on Friday, after school and head to my Mom's, about 1.5 hours away and will spend the night there. We will then get up at the butt crack of dawn and head out for Atlanta Saturday AM. So, here is what I am thinking for the cooler/car eats:
Raw Carrots
grape tomatoes
Deli Roll-ups
Salad (spinach w/grape tomatoes is my recent fav)
Sandwiches (toast bread before hand and then make sandwich)
Tuna Salad (to be eaten on toasted bread or on spinach salad)
KIND Bars (coconut/almond are my fav)
Envirokidz Bars
Rice Cakes w/PB
Carrot/Coconut/Raisin Muffins
So, I am thinking that we won't be going hungry! LOL! I plan to stock up on bottled water at Wal-mart before we leave as well to avoid having to buy water on the road. Too pricey. I will also pack Capri-Sun for the kids.
Once we are in Atlanta, we should be fine. Kroger is close by to my sister and they have the basics and I will have the bread. I am brining my cheap $10 toaster with us so that I don't have to worry about CC with my sister's stuff. It is small and easy to bring along.
I am hoping this helps to avoid the stops at McD's/Wendy's & the like on the way down & back. We have depended on those places in the past, but it is much easier not too and you don't have to wait to eat if you can't find anything that you can eat….HUGE, when you are out in the middle of no where.

Space Pictures / Mars (Original)Use the arrows above the picture for navigation and click the picture itself to see the 'Update' and 'Original' versions.
Title: Mars
Source: Viking 1 Orbiter
Information: Mars shows a distinct hemispheric asymmetry in the distribution of surface features. The often densely cratered southern hemisphere is about 1 to 3 km above the topographic sea level, while the northern hemisphere is sparsely cratered and generally lies below that level. The south, for example, has two basic types of terrain: an ancient crust saturated with large craters and small channels; and younger plains that have been modified less. The higher terrain of the south contains numerous channels, hundreds of miles long, that are reminiscent of those Earth bound channels caused by glacial activity and flooding. In the northern hemisphere, the terrain is largely featureless, save the volcanic flows surrounding the large volcanoes. There is much evidence on the surface of Mars that its climate was once drastically different. Certain craters have odd ejecta patterns that suggest a layer of ice or water existed in the upper crust when they were created.

Wall Street has ended an erratic session with a loss, but still showed its resilience as some of investors' big questions are slowly answered.
Major indexes ended down about 1 percent after recovering from even steeper losses. The Treasury Department confirmed Wednesday it will buy preferred shares from banks that can convert into common shares.
Investors remain worried, though, about the recession deepening, dividends disappearing and the toxic assets on banks' books.
According to preliminary calculations, the Dow Jones industrial average is down about 80 points at 7,270. The Standard & Poor's 500 index and the Nasdaq composite index also declined.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 3 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was 1.7 billion shares.

Tecmo's Tomonobu Itagaki is a serious guy. Dead serious about things like his Ninja Gaiden games and things like anatomical physics. He's not messing around, folks! So when he looks at Grand Theft Auto IV, does he see serious business? Says Itagaki:
I think it [Grand Theft Auto IV]is made extremely well and is a fun game... People always use that as an example of violence in games. But I don't think there's anyone who takes their job as seriously as the guys who make that game. You only have to look at all the detail in there.
That's a pretty high compliment right there, Rockstar!

Jaclyn Davis has been named the new head coach of the Austin College softball program, athletics director David Norman has announced. Davis comes to Austin College after most recently serving as an assistant coach at Rutgers University-Newark.
"After a thorough national search that yielded more than 100 applicants, we are pleased to welcome Jaclyn to the to the Austin College family," said Norman. "She brings with her tremendous experience and knowledge from her days as a student-athlete as well as an assistant coach. We look forward to the continued success of our Kangaroo softball program under Jaclyn's leadership."
A 2007 graduate of Post University in Waterbury, Connecticut with a masters degree from Boston University, Davis served as an assistant at Rutgers from 2009 until this past season, and while there she worked closely with the student-athletes as an academic advisor and was a key component in the team's recruiting efforts.
"I am extremely honored to have been given the opportunity to join the coaching staff at Austin College," said Davis. "I would like to thank David Norman, Vice President for Student Affairs and Athletics Tim Millerick, Senior Women's Administrator Michelle Filander and President Marjorie Hass for giving me this opportunity."
Prior to her time at Rutgers, Davis also served as an assistant at Suffolk University in Boston from 2007 through the 2009 season. During her time at Suffolk she helped coach two conference Players of the Years well as a Third Team All-American, and was integral in team fundraising, player development and opponent scouting.
During her time as a student-athlete, Davis earned numerous academic honors, including being named the Post University Scholar-Athlete of the Year, earning National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-American Scholar-Athlete status all four years and being inducted into the Alpha Chi National Honor Society. She was also a representative on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and a team captain.
"I know that Coach Davis will be an outstanding addition to the Austin College community, and that she will provide great leadership for our softball program going forward," said Hass. "Coach Davis understands and appreciates the importance of building character and what it means to be a true student-athlete, and that success is not limited to the playing field, but also extends the classroom and as role models within the community."
Davis inherits a program that will be in its sixth season as a varsity NCAA Division III program and returns five starters, including three All-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference players, as well as last year's entire pitching staff.
"I am excited to get to Texas, meet the Austin College community and become a competitive force within the SCAC," said Davis. "I believe that there is a great foundation here within the softball program and that together we have the opportunity to do great things."

Rio de Janeiro – Representatives from more than 100 governments around the world, health experts, civil society organizations and other stakeholders are converging in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for three days to discuss how social, economic and environmental conditions could be improved to reduce the health gaps within and between countries.
The World Conference on Social Determinants of Health – convened by the WHO and hosted by the Government of Brazil – will give governments and stakeholders a forum to discuss necessary steps to tackle the root causes of health inequities. It is expected to be attended by 60 ministers of health.
Pressure to reduce social inequalities
The conference is taking place amidst mounting pressure on governments to reduce social inequalities, which have further widened as a result of the global financial crisis.
"The differences, within and between countries, in income levels, in opportunities, in health status, and in access to care are greater today than at any time in recent history," says Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of the WHO. "A world that is greatly out of balance in matters of health is neither stable nor secure."
Alarming health gaps
At present, the life expectancy gap between countries is 36 years and there is ample evidence that in all countries of the world – whether low, middle or high-income – an individual's health status is largely determined by his socio-economic position. With the right mix of government policies, and through coordinated action on the local, national and international levels, the existing gaps could be narrowed.
Many countries are taking action to reduce socially-determined health gaps but not enough is being done. In the context of the global financial crisis, increasing food insecurity, and the challenges of climate change, new strategic approaches will be needed to address the determinants of ill health.
On Friday, at the end of the conference, governments are likely to endorse a Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health outlining their agreements and pledges to improve the broader social conditions that affect people's health.
The conference will be webcast at 14.00 on 19 October (Rio de Janeiro time) and will be available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Press conference
A press conference is planned for 12:30 on 19 October 2011, with Alexandre Padilha, Minister of Health of Brazil, and Dr Margaret Chan, WHO Director-General. The press conference will be webcast.

Former state legislator Stephen LaRoque of Kinston was already facing eight federal criminal counts this year regarding the alleged misuse of funds from his small-business lending enterprises, but he will go into 2013 facing 12 counts.
Former state legislator Stephen LaRoque of Kinston was already facing eight federal criminal counts this year regarding the alleged misuse of funds from his small-business lending enterprises, but he will go into 2013 facing 12 counts.
The U.S. Attorney�s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina indicted LaRoque in mid-July on four counts of theft and four counts of misappropriating money meant to be loaned to struggling small business owners for his personal use.
Four new charges were filed against him this month, including concealing �material facts,� materially false, fictitious and fraudulent representation, and two counts of making and subscribing a false tax return, according to online court records viewed Wednesday.
An updated 75-page indictment, signed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Dennis M. Duffy, was filed Dec. 20.
LaRoque founded the nonprofit East Carolina Development Company Inc. (ECDC) in 1997 to lend money to owners of small businesses in Eastern North Carolina who could not otherwise obtain a loan, and the nonprofit Piedmont Development Company Inc. (PDC) in 2003 to support businesspeople in Western North Carolina.
The money for that assistance comes from the U.S. Department of Agriculture�s Rural Development division in the form of grants and loans. The proceeds from the loan repayments are then lent to new borrowers.
The U.S. Attorney�s Office alleged LaRoque stacked the nonprofits� boards with close business associates and family members � including his wife and brother � paid himself a six-figure salary and used funds designated for loans to purchase personal vehicles, a home, help his wife invest in a business and buy expensive gifts such as Faberge eggs and jewelry.
In the updated indictment, it was alleged LaRoque �did knowingly and willfully falsify, conceal, and cover up, by trick, scheme, and device material facts,� including the �creation and execution� of a new compensation agreement with the ECDC and PDC boards in January 2009, the boards� approval of loans to a business that he had �an ownership interest� in and a $300,000 withdrawal from the ECDC bank account for LaRoque�s personal use.
The 10th count alleged LaRoque stated in a 2009 �United States Department of Agriculture-Rural Development-Security Agreement� that � �[s]tatements contained in the Debtor�s [ECDC] loan application (s) are true and correct,� when, in truth and fact, a statement in the loan agreement was false.�
The 11th and 12th counts alleged LaRoque �willfully� filed false income tax returns for 2009 and 2010 that �understated the amount of tax liability� he and his wife owed those years.
LaRoque has retained attorney Joseph B. Cheshire V of Raleigh for his defense, but Cheshire could not be reached for comment Wednesday. He has maintained his client�s innocence, however.
A trial date has been set for Feb. 12, 2013, in the U.S. District Court in Greenville.

However with regards to control is involved, consuming the lowest-fat vegan diet regime continues to be shown to help manage or even change diabetic issues. diabetics foods

Certainly, the outcome of your 2006 Diabetes mellitus Proper care newsletter which researched over a duration of 22 several weeks, 99 people with diabetes over a low-extra fat vegan weight loss program is really revealing. The 99 were divided into two groups. Forty 9 people have been placed on a minimal-fat vegan diet where segment sizing, calorie consumption and carbs have been unrestricted. Alternatively, other selection of fifty had been designed to stick to the 2003 dietary recommendations of your Us Diabetes mellitus Relationship which stipulated that 15 to twenty percent of unhealthy calories be from proteins, 60 to 70 percent be from carbs and fewer than 7 % from saturated fat.

Camp Boxwoods
An updated ranch house in the Victorian town of Madison, Georgia
Homeowners Dan Belman and Randy Korando prepare for an alfresco feast on their 120-acre weekend retreat in Madison, Georgia, an hour's drive from Atlanta. The black standard poodle, Tuxedo, is Wesley the sheepdog's special pet. "He doesn't listen to us," says Dan, "only to Wesley. When Wesley stands, Tuxedo stands."
Interior design, contracting and landscape design: Randy Korando and Dan Belman, Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts, 100 East Andrews, Atlanta, GA 30305; 404/233-3400.

Produced by Lisa Mowry
Camp Boxwoods' Queen Anne Victorian style begins at the circular front porch—the first project pursued by the owners when the rest of the house remained bland, single-story 1979 ranch-style architecture. The porch throws curves to augment the original straight lines and packs in gingerbread trim to reinvent the house as Victorian.
Furniture: Boxwoods Gardens and Gifts, 404/233-3400.
The homeowners converted the garage into a camp-size living room. Their signature touch—antiques they've adapted or repurposed to paint their vision—is apparent at the room's focal point, a massive chandelier that was one tier of a two-tier fixture from the St. Louis home of baseball star Stan "the Man" Musial.

One of the bonuses of remodeling is customization to fit any need, including the dog's. In its transformation, the garage-turned-living room was redesigned with a windowseat that includes an architectural niche for the owners' smallest dog, Muffy the mutt.
A pair of tufted club chairs flank a coffee table adapted from an old wooden ice chest in the living room.
An archway richly detailed with millwork delineates the new bumped-out entry—the only space that required venturing outside the house's original 1970s' footprint. Randy Korando handpainted the floor in a faux bois pattern. The entry's chandelier is the other, smaller tier of the large fixture from Cardinal legend Stan Musial's St. Louis mansion.
Chest; chairs flanking chest; sconces; lamp: Boxwoods Gardens & Gifts, 404/233-3400.
In the remodel, the original living room became the new dining room—large enough to accommodate a crowd for lodge-style sit-down dinners. The antique dining chairs are from a Victorian farmhouse in Missouri.

Also in the dining room: All of the low-slung ranch house's ceilings were vaulted in the public rooms to create a sense of more space. Wainscoting, a transomed door, and an octagonal window were added to enhance the re-creation of the house to Victorian-style architecture.
Every home's mudroom should look so good—or have a sheepdog like Wesley to sit as sentinel. A coffered ceiling creates architectural character overhead, where the previous ranch-style design was plain, while a panel of stained glass partitions the mudroom from the adjoining interior space in a kaleidoscope of color. Antique French dinnerware decorates the wall commanded by a step-back china cabinet.

Transformed into a guest room, the third-floor attic space is a celebration of nature and human creativity. Randy decorated the walls by appliquéing real pine cones, acorns, hickory nuts, sweet gumballs, and honeysuckle vines onto them. The lower walls resemble ornate paneling; the upper walls' fluid floral designs suggests the patterns from crewelwork. The room is a favorite for the children of visiting families.
An eco-friendly old-fashioned-style front porch required almost no new materials. The owners found two old half-round choir lofts and pieced them together. The "witch's hat" peaked ceiling is a characteristic of Queen Anne architecture, which the remodeled ranch house emulates.

i'm making lots of little things to sell at an xmas boutique next weekend. these ornaments are made with blank board blocks that come in three sizes.
1. to decorate a 1-1/2" block - cut a strip of paper to 1-3/8"x 6-1/2".
2. center and wrap the strip around the sides of the block, adhering the paper to each panel by brushing a thin coat of mod podge.
3. use a craft drill or a japanese screw punch to make a small hole in the top and bottom panels (these boxes are smooth illustration board on the outside, with a layer of corrugated underneath for rigidity, and hollow inside).
4. cut two 1-3/8" squares of paper and adhere one to the top, one to the bottom, allow block to dry.
5. use a pencil or skewer to poke through the paper on the top and bottom (drilling the holes before covering the top and bottom prevents the paper from tearing)
6. brush a thin coat of mod podge on all sides to seal the paper. sprinkle a little white or clear glitter on top while wet, allow to dry.
7. apply a line of distress stickles (i used rock candy) or other clear glitter glue along the top edge, in between the paper seams where there is a little of the white block showing. allow to dry, then turn over and repeat on the bottom edge, allow to dry.
8. cut a piece of beading wire (i used 24 gauge gold) to approximately 15' long. thread a jingle bell to the center and pinch the wire in close to the bell, folding the length of wire in half.
9. poke the double strand of wire into the hole in the bottom of the block and guide it up through the top hole, bringing the bell flush to the block.
10. thread a few beads on to the wire at the top, then use round-nose beading pliers to twist a couple loops in the wire just above the beads to secure.
11. shape the remaining wire at the top into a curve for a hook, adding loops with the pliers to give the hook more stability.
these little blocks give you lots of options for showing off pretty holiday papers and embellishments...you can even glue little photos of the kiddies on the sides.

The retailers that have partnered with the Raspberry Pi Foundation to sell the organization's low-cost Linux computer clarified their pricing structures today. Inconsistent regional prices and shipping costs have created some confusion about the total cost of procuring the computer, which has met with massive demand.
The Raspberry Pi foundation was founded with the goal of building an inexpensive Linux computer that can be used by young students to learn computer programming. The computer, which is a bare ARM board roughly the size of a deck of playing cards, has a 700MHz ARM11 CPU and 256MB of RAM. The project has attracted considerable interest from Linux users and embedded systems enthusiasts.
The first model of the Raspberry Pi board was intended to sell for $35, but it looks like buyers can expect to pay closer to $50 after factoring in taxes and shipping. RS Components, one of the Raspberry Pi retailers, announced today that it has adopted a flat global price of £21.60 and a flat global shipping charge of £4.95. Add the 20 percent VAT, and the total cost becomes £31.86.
RS Components allowed users to register for their purchase on launch day, but hasn't actually made its Raspberry Pi units available for purchase yet. The company says that it will be making units available on a first-come-first-served basis, in the order that users registered on the site. They will be contacting buyers within the next few days to tell them how to complete their orders.
RS Components received over 200,000 registrations from individuals who are interested in buying the board. There are only 10,000 units available in total in the first batch, which will be split between RS Components and Premier Farnell, the other retail partner.
Farnell has also been working to simplify its pricing structure for the Raspberry Pi, but still has variable regional pricing. The company has published a table that shows what the price and associated sales tax will be in various regions. The cost of purchasing the device from Farnell and having it shipped to the United States is $40 plus sales tax. Farnell began taking orders on launch day, but the company says that it will automatically adjust prices for existing orders in cases where the new pricing model is less expensive than when the user placed the order.

Experience WWI centennial history with a European river cruise
Today, Flanders Fields draws visitors who, although they don't remember the war, wish to remember those who served in it, and the lessons World War I taught the world. As people around the world prepare to commemorate the centennial of WWI, many will plan a trip to this historic spot.
Only a handful of people around the world are old enough to remember World War I, yet as the 100th anniversary of the first truly global war approaches, its impact on the world can still be felt today. In many ways, WWI set the stage for all world-wide conflicts to come; it was the first war that truly affected almost all the world, the first in which aircraft played a role, and the first conflict in which modern weapons created casualties in the millions.
And one of the world's most poignant remembrances – red poppies to memorialize fallen soldiers – springs from a WWI poem, "In Flanders Fields." Penned by a Canadian physician following a pivotal battle, the poem encompasses both the tragedy and heroism of fallen soldiers in the symbol of the red poppies that grew in the famous field.
Today, Flanders Fields draws visitors who, although they don't remember the war, wish to remember those who served in it, and the lessons WWI taught the world. As people around the world prepare to commemorate the centennial of WWI, many will plan a trip to this historic spot.
An all-inclusive tour, like those offered by Tauck, can take care of the details for travelers, allowing them more time to enjoy the experience of travel and immerse themselves in the culture and history of a location. A tour ensures everything is taken care of – hotel accommodations, on-tour transportation, sight-seeing and special entertainment – often for far less than you would pay if you arranged everything yourself.
This year, travelers who wish to take part in the WWI 100th anniversary have a unique opportunity to visit Flanders Fields on Tauck's "Belgium and Holland in Spring" European river cruise. On the fourth day of this 10-day cruise, guests will visit the Flemish city of Ieper (Ypres), where the Battle of Flanders was fought. Travelers will also visit the In Flanders Fields Museum and partake in an exclusive dinner in the reconstructed Cloth Hall, commemorating battles fought from 1914 to 1918.
History, culture and scenic beauty permeate the other nine days of the itinerary, with stops in historically significant locations throughout the inland waterways of Holland and Belgium, including:
* Brussels – Sightsee in Belgium's capital city, taking in once-in-a-lifetime sights such as Grande-Place, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Motor from Brussels to Margraten to visit the Netherlands American Cemetery, where thousands of World War II American soldiers are interred.
* Antwerp – A key Belgian port city and the capital of Flanders, Antwerp offers many sights, including a historic center where you'll find the Grote Markt (old market square) and the Cathedral of Our Lady. Visit the Red Star Line Museum and absorb the history of the shipping company that ferried more than 2 million European immigrants from the Netherlands to new lives in North America.
* Rotterdam – Devastated by the Luftwaffe in WWII, the Netherlands' second-largest city has rebuilt over the decades to become a thriving 21st-century commercial, transportation and cultural hub, often called the "Gateway to Europe."
* Alkmarr – The windmill is an iconic symbol of the Netherlands and what journey to the region would be complete without a visit to the Schermer Museum Molen. Dating to 1634, the windmill structure now houses a museum that explores how windmills influenced the region's culture and economy.
* Amsterdam – From the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, journey to Keukenhof Gardens in Lisse, where you'll see another Dutch icon – millions of blooming tulips, along with daffodils, hyacinths, lilies crocuses and bluebells. You'll also enjoy a canal cruise through Amsterdam's network of Renaissance-era waterways, lined by quaint architecture. A stop at the world-renowned Rijksmuseum affords guests a chance to admire masterpieces by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt.

Cleaning Up Your Basement Water Damage
Basement flooding can occur in Commerce Township basements from sources inside and outside the home. Excessive rain can over saturate the ground, resulting in leaks and even cracks throughout your Commerce Township basement. Frozen, broken, and burst pipes are more susceptible to happen in basements due to the pressure and temperature difference within the basement. Also, hidden moisture can lead to mold and mildew that can invade and ruin your stored contents and valuables. Basements are the lowest point in a home and tend to flood first during any kind of water damage emergency. If you have basement water damage, do not wait to call, our job is to detect the water in your basement quickly and handle the water removal completely.
Fixing Your Broken, Burst, & Frozen Pipes
Winter can be the most devastating time of year for water damage in Commerce Township. Over a quarter of a million American homes each year will suffer from damage due to frozen or burst pipes. A frozen, broken or leaky pipe are all inconveniences that can lead to major headaches for your Commerce Township home. Ignoring these repairs can be extremely costly as water damage can lead to an unstable structure and damage of your valuables. Water pipe bursts are common in areas of extreme winter cold and high winds that drive the wind chill well below freezing temperatures. Pipes that lack proper insulation and are exposed to the winter's cold are far more likely to create a need for restoration in Commerce Township. Commerce Township homes that are left vacant with no regulating of heat or poorly insulated walls can be a common culprit of frozen water pipes and frozen water lines in the winter time.
Broken pipes are a common cause of water damage in Commerce Township. Pipe burst in the attic can cause gallons of water to come flooding through your living rooms, bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. If you are experiencing a burst or frozen pipe or any other flooding, give us a call as soon as possible.

Info About Commerce Township MI
The terrain is rolling hills with large expanses of flat farmland and suburban development. The Huron River runs mostly north-south through the township. Commerce was formerly a weekend and summer resort because of the area's small inland lakes and peaceful seclusion, but due to recent development the cottages are now all permanent homes. There has been a sharp increase in population in the last few years, mostly on or near the several lakes and golf courses. The northern terminus of M-5 is in Commerce. The busy highway would have continued north to Interstate 75, but because of the area's high property value and the many lakes that dot the landscape such a project would have been far too costly. The Commerce Drive In sign is famous historic site for local residents.
Commerce Township MI is home to such attractions as Proud Lake State Recreation Area.

I do not think that Tennessee Volunteers football is doomed, nor do I believe that the future is particularly bleak. But rewatch last year's game against Alabama (… or Oregon … or Missouri … or Auburn … or Florida … or Vanderbilt … or ...) and it's only natural for conclusions to that effect to be drawn. Not only has Tennessee been down, but this has not been a Nebraska-like perpetual four-loss purgatory. It's been full-on, bottom-tier-of-the-SEC hell, where about the only thing that can be said is, "Hey, we're still not Kentucky."
It cannot be an easy time to be a fan.
To establish exactly what Butch Jones faces as he enters his second season as head coach, let's first state a few facts -- and please bear with me, Vols fans, I'm sorry:
- Tennessee has not scored more than 17 points against Alabama since 2003. In that time, the Crimson Tide have won the SEC's most famous cross-division rivalry eight out of 10 times.
- Tennessee has not defeated Florida since 2004, losing the last seven by double digits.
- Tennessee has lost its last two games to Vanderbilt.
These three opponents are essentially the signposts of a typical Tennessee season. For much of college football history, Alabama has served as a national measuring stick for Tennessee. For the last two decades, Florida has served as an SEC East measuring stick. And beating Vanderbilt has always been a foregone conclusion that emphasizes in-state superiority. The Vols have failed against all three lately, encapsulating the worst era in program history.
The paradigm has shifted, and a program that is in the top 10 in all-time wins next to Oklahoma, Alabama and USC instead ranks among the likes of Syracuse, Minnesota, California and Maryland over the last six years. Among those top-10 winningest programs, this is already the worst stretch any has had in the last 50 years, with four consecutive losing seasons (counting a 6-7 2010 season that ended with a bowl loss). The only one of those teams to hit three consecutive losing seasons is Oklahoma, which sputtered in John Blake's three seasons from 1996-98 before Bob Stoops took over, went 7-5, then won the national championship in 2000.
So, yeah, with no more than seven wins in a season since 2007, more than any other traditional power in recent history Tennessee has lost the plot, rendering a quick fix impossible. This is what Jones inherited, not one of the historically dominant programs of the SEC. Expectations need to be managed accordingly.
* * *
That won't stop Jones from trying to speed up the process, of course. Over the winter, Tennessee was so in need of an injection of young talent that 14 of its class of 2014 recruits enrolled early. It's an enormous number, and Jones was surely happy to get as many members of his fifth-ranked (according to Rivals) first full recruiting class on campus as soon as possible, because the program was so devoid of developed, experienced talent leftover from the Derek Dooley era that the current team can't help but skew young out of necessity. If nothing else, it's a good selling point when recruiting.
It's not that Dooley didn't recruit well; Rivals ranked his three classes ninth, 13th and 17th nationally, all of which are good hauls for a program that, like Oklahoma, has had decades of success despite needing to rely heavily on raiding enemy territory for talent (only two of January's 14 early enrollees were in-state prospects). But that modest success didn't translate into tangible results, as Dooley's only bowl appearance ended in disaster, and his three teams finished 57th, 51st and 57th in Football Outsiders' F/+ rankings. In other words, the Dooley era achieved thorough mediocrity with no improvement. Or, for an illustrative longer view, Brian Fremeau's 25-year program profile shows the steady downward trend in Knoxville ever since the Tee Martin-led 1998 national championship.
As with Nebraska, the longer the slide continues, the more that history ceases to matter. This year's recruiting cycle includes prospects who were only a year or two old when the Vols won that national title, which is also the last time they won an SEC championship. Obviously, it helps to have a 100,000-seat stadium, passionate fans and plenty of resources. But recruiting, at this point, also requires a history lesson, because that 2008 Outback Bowl trophy isn't going to cut it when compared to what other SEC frontrunners have to showcase. So while former powerhouses typically expect quick turnarounds based on the cachet of their programs and the top coaches and talent they can attract, this isn't the typical rebuilding job in Knoxville.
It's a new situation for Tennessee, just as it's a new situation for Jones, who didn't make his name as a program builder. He inherited and maintained two already successful programs from Brian Kelly, first at Central Michigan, then at Cincinnati -- schools that he did, however, help mold into pesky upstarts and tough outs for more established programs.
If that's what Tennessee has to be right now, so be it, no matter what Tennessee used to be.
* * *
In 2014, after a 5-7 season, Tennessee must replace the entirety of both of its lines, including star left tackle Antonio Richardson on offense and 351-pound tackle Daniel McCullers on defense. It must find a viable option at quarterback behind a rebuilt O-line, whether it's senior Justin Worley or sophomore Josh Dobbs in a narrowed race for the starting job after Riley Ferguson transferred. Essentially, the foundations of the team are totally up in the air, and the Vols have to rely on one obvious star in linebacker A.J. Johnson, and the high ceilings of a whole bunch of promising players, both young and old, like linebacker Curt Maggitt (who returns from a torn ACL); running backs Marlin Lane and Jalen Hurd; and receivers Marquez North, Von Pearson and Josh Malone -- a group that could make Tennessee a weekly boom-or-bust type team.
College football is an unpredictable sport, never say never, etc., but a total Year Two turnaround probably isn't possible in Knoxville. Give Tennessee the schedule of Iowa, and it's a different story. But after facing a brutal schedule ranked 10th by Jeff Sagarin last year, Tennessee must nearly duplicate the process and play the following, with a very inexperienced lineup: at Oklahoma, at Georgia, Florida, at Ole Miss, Alabama, at South Carolina ... and also Missouri, and the trip to Vanderbilt, and even the far-from-a-gimme Sunday opener against Utah State, which boasts one of the nation's best playmakers at quarterback in Chuckie Keeton and a stingy defense. Merely getting to six wins for a bid to, say, the Birmingham Bowl is a steep challenge. Record-wise, it's probable that Tennessee will tread water again, with 5-7 in play for the fourth straight season and 6-6 the most likely scenario. If that happens, though, it's not the end of the world.
At the moment, Tennessee is a recruiting powerhouse, as often happens when a new regime comes in and speaks of "changing the culture" and finding the players to "restore the glory" when selling the team to recruits. Eventually, the new car smell wears off, and on-field success will increasingly dictate what happens on Signing Day. But even if Tennessee can't contend for a division title yet, it can at least surprise a team or too -- like it did vs. South Carolina last year -- and prove that it is finally trending upward again.
As this era drags on and on, getting longer and longer, it's only natural for patience to wear thin. College football is cyclical, sure, and all top programs go through down times, but Tennessee's slump is reaching unprecedented proportions for one of the sport's historic powers. Jones walked into an almost desperate situation, as the man who must save a national power from the chaotic departure of Kiffin and the aimless leadership of Dooley, at a place where a segment of Tennessee fans surely still insists that Jon Gruden's yacht was spotted on the Tennessee River before the spring game.
In this case, a "wait 'til next year" attitude isn't something to shrug off as a joke, even at a prestigious program like Tennessee. For Tennessee, getting through 2014 may turn out to be mostly preparation for 2015, a time when Jones' work can realistically be expected to start paying off, when Tennessee can realistically start trying to look like the old Tennessee again, when Tennessee-Florida in September matters and the Third Saturday in October vs. Alabama is dramatic.
For now, playing the role of spoiler as a tough out for SEC contenders is a good enough step in the right direction, even if spoiler is not the role Tennessee ever thought it would be playing. It may not be pretty, but it may also be the most entertaining Tennessee football we've seen in a while, and that's a good start before expectations can start to creep higher.
