Risk and regulatory calibration : WTO compliance review of the U.S. dolphin-safe tuna labeling regime
Title: Risk and regulatory calibration : WTO compliance review of the U.S. dolphin-safe tuna labeling regime
Author: COGLIANESE, Cary; SAPIR, André
Date: 2016
Series/Number: EUI RSCAS; 2016/66; Global Governance Programme-242; Global Economics
In a series of recent disputes arising under the TBT Agreement, the Appellate Body has interpreted Article 2.1 to provide that discriminatory and trade-distortive regulation could be permissible if based upon a "legitimate regulatory distinction." In its recent compliance decision in the US-Tuna II dispute, the AB reaffirmed its view that regulatory distinctions embedded in the U.S. dolphin-safe tuna labeling regime were not legitimate because they were not sufficiently calibrated to the risks to dolphins associated with different tuna fishing conditions. This paper analyzes the AB's application of the notion of risk-based regulation in the US-Tuna II dispute and finds the AB's reasoning lacking in coherence. Although risk analysis and calibration can in principle play useful roles in TBT cases, the AB needs to provide more explicit and careful guidance to WTO members and to panels to avoid the kind of ad hoc decision-making exhibited throughout the US-Tuna II dispute.

Prosecutors, or State's Attorneys, represent the authority of the state in bringing a case against an accused perpetrator of violence. Prosecutors are responsible for gathering evidence, for charging cases, and for establishing all of the elements required by law to prove the case in front of a judge or jury. These responsibilities provide an opportunity for prosecutor contact with all participants in the criminal justice system: victims/survivors, witnesses, police, judges, advocates, juries, and probation/parole staff. Thus, prosecutors are well-positioned to provide expertise and leadership in addressing violence against women and girls (National Advisory Council on Violence Against Women, 2001).
Prosecutors should have the responsibility for bringing charges and trying cases of violence against women and girls. The state's duty to protect its citizens is enshrined in many constitutions and human rights instruments. If a survivor must pursue her case in the criminal justice system, she is likely to abandon her claim due to fear of the consequences of a public prosecution, including social stigma, family disapproval, fear of her abuser's retaliation, fear of the legal process, and a lack of information about the justice system.
Prosecutors should have the responsibility to pursue a case regardless of the level of injury or the type of violence. State prosecution can remove the shame often felt by survivors, contribute to their recovery, act as a potential deterrent to offenders, and may provide an incentive for other survivors to come forward (United Nations, 2009).
The three goals of prosecution should be: (1) to protect the survivor; (2) to hold the defendant accountable for the violence, thus deterring him from further violent acts; and (3) to communicate a strong message of zero tolerance for violence against women and girls to the community. Overarching strategies to support these goals include:
Justice sector programmes focused on prosecutors can encourage prosecutors to prioritize survivor safety by:
What is a no-contact order?
During the pendency of a criminal case, the court should have the authority to issue a no contact order or a domestic abuse no contact order, which is different from a civil order for protection. A no contact order directs the defendant not to contact the victim in any way, by telephone, email, in person, at the victim's place of employment, home, school, or in the community during the pendency of the criminal proceeding. The no contact order should remain in effect at least until the criminal case is concluded. A violation of the no contact order should also be a criminal offense.

Low Bood Sugar
My blood sugar drops very low sometimes about an hour and a-half after I eat. It drops as low as in the 30's, this is happening more frequently sometimes 2x a day and even waking me from a deep sleep. Any suggestions as why this is happening and what I can do for it?
5 replies
Howdy Patty
WELCOME to DC!
I was going to suggest doing this(starting your own discussion) in an answer to your post on Blood Sugar Blues, but before I did I noted you had already done so.
Spiritwalker asks some good questions and has a good insight about blood sugars.
Too low can be just as dangerous as high, (and I may get jumped on for saying this) but IMO (as well as some Drs) lows can get you in MORE serious trouble FASTER than high. So please do not mess around. Your Dr needs to know about your repeated lows ASAP! No matter what med you are taking, your Dr should know about it and adjust the dosage.
My (non professional) opinion: keep your blood sugar JUST A BIT on the high side until you talk with Dr and s/he adjusts the meds a bit to stop the lows.
glad you're here Patty!
My guess would be that you are either taking too much medicine or not eating enough food. Try to chart what you eat, what medicines you take and what time and your blood sugars before and after and show it to your Dr. and see what he says.
Be careful with your sugars dropping so low, that can be very dangerous. In the meantime, make sure you have some kind of juice or glucose tablets by you at all time. It's good that you are waking up from your low sugars and are able to take care of it.
Take care of yourself…
:) Danni
I'm on insulin as a type 1, usually have experiences like that after super low-carb meals like chili with cheese and no crackers. There's plenty of food but nothing for my insulin to burn. Now that we count carbs I don't usually have that problem. But it bears noticing what type of food you're eating when that happens. Then you can discuss with your doctor what medications might be triggering the lows. Definitely figure it out!
Welcome to DC. What medications are you taking? Please
notify your Dr. of what is happening! Low blood sugars are as dangerous as high ones. You may need Rx adjusted, or
need a visit with a RD to work out a better meal plan.
Good luck.

Remember that a while ago I was telling you about the Feisty Tapas Nespresso Challenge that I, the totally craft-challenged one, had set the likes of Red Ted Art, Rainy Day Mum and Domestic Goddesque?
Well, Domestic Goddesque made us very jealous with her coloured duct tape when she returned from the States and made these magic Maracas.
Then yesterday I realised I could enter my own challenge. Ok, so the words and photos of the post are mine but the entry is officially Mr Tapas' who, a few days ago and with the adoring help of LittleT, made this with the box where the Nespresso capsule sleeves arrive:
It has brought a new word to LittleT's vocabulary: castle. No princesses though, just a guard, a camel that wasn't feeling too photogenic and the obligatory slice of bread. Perhaps she thought it was a dungeon?
*Tooth update: still toothless, now with a dodgy back after trying to help LittleT wee in her potty earlier. When they say becoming a mother in your late thirties is a risk, no one mentions this is why.
On the plus side, we won the lottery yesterday: a tender. Yes, that's right: a whole 10 sterling pounds. Since the boiler keeps overheating and I doubt our winnings are going to cover the cost, I'm thinking I'll spend the money on cake, what do you think?

Joseph C., a friend of the site, shared with me a Rashad Family card that he owns. It has Phylicia's signature on the front and Ahmad's signature on the back. It's quite a rare one.
Note that the back of the card does have a number, but the card does have the embossed seal.
Joseph is very near completing the set. He said he's never seen an Al Davis signed, embossed card.

Short Read
Some of the claims in the article are untrue (70% of taxes going to the military) and others are just nuts (the government is going to lock the place down...they don't want their "recruits" escaping. They don't want YOU escaping)
However, let's take a look at the primary claim:
"You (Americans) have the worst quality of life in the developed world – by a wide margin"
and some of the supporting claims
Americans have:
-less access to health care
-poorer diets (less healthy)
-Low quality food (more processed, more contamination, etc)
-More reliance on meds
-Less vacation time (more stress)
-Expensive education (starting life with high debt)
-Greater Debt Overall
-Higher Bankruptucy rates (see above on debts)
-Less freedom (drug tests, surveillence)
-Misinformed citizenry (Fox News, Right/Left wing media)
-An uneducated population
-Corrupt politicians
-Crushing Debt
-etc, etc, etc.
I'd love to hear from anyone, but especially those of you who reside outside of America and can provide objective viewpoints.

What do you call taking my money against my will by threat of incarceration? Cooperation? Moral? Good? It's fucking theft! Armed robbery. It doesn't matter to you that you need to take it by force. I think that is a pathetic celebration of human weakness and neediness.
I guess you have forgotten about the fact that people have agreed. In fact the majority have agreed. The majority of people want all the service provided by government and they want the citizens of the country to all pay for them accordingly.
It is you personally there is whining here, for what ever reason, you think you are special and have no responsibility to any of your fellow citizens.
The only weakness is in the mind of some one who cannot fathom the idea that we are all human beings capable of compassion. You could use a few lessons.
The UK climate is nothing at all like the climate in Canada. Their climate is moderated by the ocean that surrounds them. Canada's climate is a lot more varied depending on where you live. Where I live it is very cold indeed, but there are part like Vancouver Island that has a very moderate climate.
The cost of living here is not much different that in the US, I have lived in Colorado and my daughter lived in California. Our food costs are a bit higher, but housing costs are cheaper or similar, your health care is outrageous, ours here in Saskatchwan is absolutely free. In some provinces there is a nominal fee for health care. Our taxes are very similar to yours. As far a health care being wrapped up in burocracy, the user never is involved in that part of it. We get immediate access to family doctors and unlimited use of hospital facilities. No limits, no pre-existing condition clauses, no restriction.
Yes, municipal water and state roads wouldn't be possible without taxation. But I find it verey hard to believe that government is the best organization for these jobs. Who is to say that private enterprise cannot accomplish these things? Pay for it if you wish to use it. I should not be forced to pay for your roads, unless I use them. When businesses compete for services, without government price controls and handouts, the best product/deal/bargain results. Why must taxation be forced? How do you get over the fact that to take my money, you need to threaten me with incarceration?
Why must government do these things? Why not a company that specializes in roads and not bureaucracy? I'll pay the fee for any road I go on, gladly.
They cannot use the roads.

Three Good Reasons One May Want To Lose Weight
Historically, why have people tried to lose weight is because they want to look better for themselves. If more traditional solutions fail, people are prone to try something more productive, even if it may be completely new. A lot of people are adverse to new ideas, prefer to keep trying using the old solutions, no matter if they do not give good results. Deficiency of current information stops some of those who might like to try. Often people are held back by their anxiety about the unknown. Some never get started because they do not know how to start. Other times it can be because they don't know the possibilities of doing it or its potential benefits.
As soon as you grasp how this works, one's vision clears and likely obstacles seem less complicated or important. Reliable information has a tendency to clarify things. Through looking at the pluses and minuses of losing weight you may notice many different things. However, let's just have a look at three argument points in favor:
First off, losing weight is something that can cause you to lead a longer and happier life. Yes, your objection that this is a difficult task is an excellent observation. Nonetheless, we should consider that by losing weight you can end up having a happier life than what you ever dreamed possible. Then you will be able to see your grandchildren have babies making you a great grand parent, which is the dream of many different people..
Also, you should consider that you will feel better about the way you look. That look that you have is going to be the most important thing to you and could lead to more success in relationships with others. Nothing else is better that going back to your old boyfriends or girlfriends and showing them what they missed out on.
Third and last, losing weight will allow you to gain confidence about yourself. With this gain in confidence you can start to see that you will present yourself better around people. That could lead to more dates with people that you like or possibly even a gain in your marriage. That will probably mean that you will start to see yourself talking to more people than what you normally do. That could even mean that you will enjoy going out and meeting new people. If you are like most overweight people you probably stay at home during the weekend because of your weight, but once you start losing weight you will not be staying home anymore!. Once again you get the advantage that losing weight will gain for you. !
Think about those three reasons. If you lose weight you will be able see them in front of you. Just think , wouldn't you enjoy some of those benefits? Now, just think about that. Wouldn't you want to enjoy those benefits?
Many other people have found them to be persuasive. If other folks found these to be persuasive, what about you? Maybe you too should lose weight and that can be done if you know follow the proper diet plan that can help you.

An audit of Veteran's Affairs hospitals and clinics nationwide found that 273 Indiana patients had been waiting for initial appointments at facilities in Indianapolis and northern Indiana 90 days or more after requesting them.
The audit, based on a snapshot of the VA system on May 15, also found that about 230 others in Indiana who enrolled in the VA health care system over the past 10 years have apparently fallen through the cracks and never received appointments. That includes 173 at the Indianapolis VA hospital.
"This is just an example of how widespread the problems were," said Peter Gaytan, executive director of the American Legion's national headquarters in Washington.
The audit is the first nationwide look at the VA network following reports two months ago of patients dying while awaiting appointments and of cover-ups at the Phoenix VA center
The controversy forced VA Secretary Eric Shinseki to resign May 30.
Auditors reviewed 731 sites nationwide and found that the agency's complicated appointment process created confusion among schedulers and supervisors and that a 14-day goal for seeing first-time patients was unattainable. The VA has since abandoned that goal.
Both the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis and the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System, which has campuses in Fort Wayne and Marion, had much longer waiting periods for new patients than for established patients.
At the Indianapolis facility, which was flagged for a follow-up review, the new patients waiting to see a primary care physician waited an average of nearly 54 days, far above the 2.6-day average wait faced by established patients.
New patients seeking the same care at the northern Indiana facilities waited nearly 32 days, compared with about 3 days for established patients.
Waits for new patients seeking specialists were lower at Roudebush, at about 32 days, but jumped to more than 48 days in northern Indiana.
Roudebush spokeswoman Julie Webb said the hospital is contacting everyone on its electronic waiting list to determine if it can see them sooner. If the hospital can't offer them appointments within 30 days, it will offer to direct them to care elsewhere in the community.
She also said the hospital was starting Saturday clinics in an effort to see new primary care patients more rapidly.
Webb said the figure of 173 people believed to have fallen through the cracks in Indianapolis was misleading, because it simply represents the number of veterans who have signed up for the system.
Tom Bratcher, Indiana state commander for the Disabled American Veterans, said he had not seen the audit yet, but added, "It's my belief that they're kind of understaffed."
Democratic Indiana Sen. Joe Donnelly called the 90-day waiting period "absolutely unacceptable."
"We need to give VA medical facilities the tools they need to bring down wait times and improve care, and we need to hold VA officials responsible for any misconduct," Donnelly said in a statement.
Webb and Mike Brady, spokesman for the Northern Indiana VA system, said the long wait times for new patients stem in part from the extra time initial appointments require, which makes them harder to fit into the schedule.
Webb and Brady also noted that their facilities have difficulty attracting primary care physicians, who prefer to set up shop in the private market.
"We admit we need additional capacity and we are working on that," Webb said.
Nationally, the audit found more than 57,000 patients were still waiting for initial medical appointments after 90 days, and an additional 64,000 who enrolled in the VA health care system in the last decade had never been seen.

That's Racist!… NAACP Demands Photo ID for Attendees to Join Protest Against Photo ID Laws
You just can't make this stuff up!
The NAACP is holding a protest against photo ID laws…
But you must bring a photo ID in order to join them at the rally.
Pundit Press reported:
The NAACP will be holding a march to protest voter ID laws. In order to attend, all members are required to bring along a photo ID.
In a flier entitled "Important Dos and Don'ts for Marchers!!!," the NAACP state at the top that all protesters conduct themselves "in accordance with the historic custom of the Civil Rights Movement." They should also listen to their "marshals at all times" and follow the "Dos" and "Don'ts" underneath the opening paragraph…
…In the middle of the list, however, is a drastically ironic "Do." To go to the rally, you are asked to have "photo identification (driver's license, passport or other valid photo id) with you and keep it on your person at all times."

Small accounting firms on slim marketing budgets have economical ways to build their brands, from social media to word of mouth.
Victoria Kosuda, of Mountainside, specializes in setting small businesses up on software to monitor their finances in real time, and she said new clients referrals come to her via software vendors.
She said using web-based finance tools is key.
"Small-business owners can be walking around and on their smartphones and seeing not only how much money is in the bank, but how profitable they are at any given moment," Kosuda said. "I can advise them on a daily basis if I need to."
Bernard Kiely, of Morristown, handles financial planning, investment management and taxes for individuals. He regularly answers personal finance questions for a popular newspaper column, giving him significant exposure online.
"When people Google 'fee-only financial planners in New Jersey,' my name pops up — and I answer my own phone," Kiely said. "I'm in the financial planning trade press quite frequently, and that gets me Google hits."
Gail Rosen, in the Martinsville section of Bridgewater, routinely posts tax tips on Twitter.
"I like sharing information, it keeps me current," she said. "I'm always reading up on what's new because I want to share it and it makes me smarter and it makes my clients smarter."
Rosen writes a newsletter several times a year and emails it to clients. She said she puts accounting issues in plan English.
"I make it relevant and informative," she said.
Emily Vu, whose firm, TTK & Associates, is in Pleasantville, said efforts never stop.
"Finding new clients is a consuming task that requires an aggressive approach." Vu said, "We develop new clients using every available method" — including social media, referrals, professional memberships and networking events.
"Fortunately for us, we offer a service that all business owners need."

text: Hey folks!! Wasn't entirely sure where to post this, but here will kinda do.. Anyway, I bought a (UK) Universe Powerglide yesterday, and after having it a few hours i noticed the left wing is a bit loose where it enters the shoulder joint. I did try and check what the problem was, and have narrowed it down to a pin which goes from the wing into a black circular block which is semi-ratcheted. Unfortunately, the box Powerglide came in has already been disposed of (stupid, I know), so i can't really take it back to where I purchased it from... So, if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can go from here, they would be greatly appreciated!! UJ

You are seated on the outdoor terrace at your unplugged vacation spot in Hawaii. A slack key guitar player, whose art owes everything to his Hawaiian upbringing and Hawaii's past, seems to effortlessly pick his acoustic guitar with tunes that echo the gentle features of the Hawaiian landscape.
Astute listeners can detect the trade winds, the surf, the swaying palm trees and graceful waterfalls—all combining to create an effect usually described as nahenahe (soft and gentle). In doing so, it reflects the music's deep roots, "incorporating the hula rhythms, ancient chants and drum rhythms from Hawaii's past," according to Chelle Pahinui, master hula teacher.
The timeless appeal of Hawaii is reflected in many of the key ingredients that make up its truly unique atmosphere. There are the ocean, the food and beaches which, mixed with the aloha spirit of welcoming visitors, create the truly unique Hawaiian experience. A mosaic of many cultures has been added to this winter paradise and acoustic guitar playing is a prime example.
The Hawaiian tradition of slack key guitar playing began in 1832 in an unlikely way. Mexican and Spanish cowboys (paniolos) came to the Island of Hawaii to teach the locals how to ranch. Following their departure, it was noted that they had left three guitars, but no instructions on how to tune them. So began the unique Hawaiian tradition of tuning the guitars to each individual guitarist's voice.
A perfect way to enjoy the true Hawaiian unplugged spirit would be to stay at an old coffee plantation at Kona, the airport town synonymous with the Island of Hawaii. Kona coffee is, of course, world-renowned, and there's no better combination to follow the unplugged theme than to stay at the Holualoa Inn.
The Holualoa Inn is like the best ryokan you never visited in Japan. When you arrive, the elegance of the entrance is overpowering. A long open-air veranda welcomes you, although, oddly enough, if you arrive after six in the evening, no staff will greet you. Sound unfriendly? No, it's all part of the Hawaiian cool.
After breakfast, you start your self-guided tour of the grounds, covering more than 12 hectares. Eventually it dawns on you that you are following an ancient royal road from Hawaii's past. You can even detect a royal toboggan run. You may be there in the Christmas season, but aside from musicians strumming Mele Kalikimaka, you won't notice too many other reminders of Santa and the North Pole.
Other well-known spots on the Island of Hawaii include its volcanoes, active and otherwise. At Volcanoes National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, visitors are regularly in awe of the world's most active volcano, Kilauea, which continually flows into the Pacific Ocean. Spend your winter vacation viewing active volcanoes? Think of it as a natural New Year's display.
Hawaii's first astronaut, Ellison S. Onizuka hailed from this island, and his name is immortalized at the Onizuka Space Center on the dormant 4,200-metre-high volcano Mauna Kea. At the Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii in Hilo, the planetarium show is a must.
Markets in Hilo include a wide variety of local products, such as fresh fruits, raw sugar cane juice and even musubi—think salted rice wrapped in dried seaweed with a piece of Spam stuck on top. And in Hilo, you can try the very Hawaiian dish of loco moco, a mix of sticky rice, eggs, hamburger steak and brown gravy. The drive-in that patented it, Café 100 (established in 1946), is always full. Your last view of Hilo may be young people practising ukuleles in the park.
From the northern coast of the Island of Hawaii, you can make out the coast of Maui. Maui is arguably the best-known Hawaiian island and for centuries was the plantation island, harvesting huge numbers of pineapples and sugar cane.
You can sample some of the uniquely Hawaiian food here at the Hula Grill or at Ono Kau Kau in Lahaina. Try poi, a pudding-like paste that accompanies many Hawaiian meals, or lau lau, steamed chicken or red snapper wrapped in ti leaves. Don't even think of leaving this island without sampling ahi, mahi mahi and ono. If you are in the vicinity, check out the Kanapali Beach.
The most remote part of Maui is the eastern extremity at the end of the famous Road to Hana, which passes spider-thin falls and mana—strong pools that give Maui its reputation as being magical. Along the way, visit the Keanae Arboretum with its huge variety of tropical plants.
A visit to the town of Hana in Maui is a must, however many travellers make the mistake of not spending at least one night in Hana, where you are very likely to experience the true Hawaii, with authentic Hawaiian music and culture in one of many unplugged resorts there.
On the island of Kauai, you'll discover your most unplugged experience yet. At the Aston Waimea Plantation, tiny chalets, which formerly housed plantation workers, have been relocated to a seaside location right out of a storybook. Your old plantation hut includes a kitchen, which you can put to good use. Purchase fresh fish from the local town fishmongers and dine casually as you wonder how the public beach in front of you remains virtually empty.
Your final destination is the Hanalei Colony Resort, an old-style Hawaiian lodge near the end of the highway at Haena located on a spit of land where waves crash all day long. Be warned: there are no phones, stereos or TVs.
At the local community hall in nearby Hanalei, you may happen upon a live concert by performers, Doug and Sandy McMaster, who explain every tune they are about to play, and then perform it, nahenahe (gentle and sweet) on their slack key guitar and ukulele.
As you head back to your lodging, this sweet music plays on in your mind. As you bed down for one last time in your oceanfront room, listening to the sound of crashing waves, your last sight before nodding off is the ceiling fan, just barely moving. You don't need it, as Mother Nature is providing beautiful, fresh ocean breezes.

*Lawd hav' mercy! The drama of it all.
OK, now a picture of the deteriorating situation between Nicole Murphy and Michael Strahan is starting to develop.
Accordig to TMZ, Back in January Murphy got word that Strahan was holed up in a room at a hotel in Beverly Hills. With good reason, we suppose, she suspected him of being there with someone else and went nuts to the point where she got kicked off the premises.
Sources say Nicole had got word that Michael was staying at the Regent Beverly Hills Hotel on Wilshire Blvd and Rodeo Drive. The story goes she showed up at Michael's hotel room, unannounced … and began banging on the door shortly before midnight, causing a major scene.
Witnesses claim Nicole was screaming Michael's name, saying, "I know you're in there with some bitch." She also yelled, for all to hear, "It's Michael from 'Kelly and Michael' in there."
According to the report, the racket woke up several guests in neighboring rooms — some of whom stuck their heads out into the hallway. She ranted for 20 minutes before hotel security booted Nicole from the hotel.
The door never opened so no one really knows if Michael was in the room.

Complaints to the Parliamentary Ombudsman: Decisions on tax etc while the Ombudsman is investigating
The fact that a case is being investigated by the Ombudsman does not prevent us from taking any administrative action deemed appropriate. This could include pursuing a debt which is an integral part of the current dispute. In liaison with the business and DMB, you must decide what action to take on any tax or tax credits due or repayable in a case which the Ombudsman is reviewing. If the decision is to postpone pursuing tax, tell the customer whether interest is running.

Storyteller Children's Center has a "play date" later this month with a very special donor, Charles Newman, who has dedicated his 65th birthday celebration to raising money and refurbishing a play structure at the preschool for homeless and at-risk children.
Construction of the play structure will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday, June 21, at 2121 De la Vina St.
At the beginning of the year, Newman was contemplating his pending 65th birthday. Should he have a party? Should he take a trip? Should he buy himself a fancy toy? Many of the options made him feel a little self-indulgent, so he decided he wanted to do something to give back. As a father and grandfather, he decided doing something for children would mean the most to him.
After doing a little research, he paid a visit to Terri Allison, the executive director of Storyteller Children's Center. She gave him a tour of Storyteller's two locations, and mentioned how the play structure at one of the schools was in a bit of disrepair and needed some updating.
"That's when a light bulb went off in my head," Newman said. "I had found the thing I wanted to do for my birthday — upgrade the play structure for the children."
He started inviting friends and family to his March birthday celebration, asking them to make a donation to Storyteller for the play structure in lieu of giving a gift, an effort that soon became known as "Project 65." The project was hugely successful, raising more than $6,000 for the play structure.
Later this month, the renovation will become a reality. Newman and a group of friends and family will remove the portions of the play structure that need updating and construct a two-level wooden structure that will be set upon a rubberized surface.
"We are so thankful that Charles decided to celebrate his birthday by helping us," said Allison, whose husband will also help with the building project. "This updated structure will not only last for many years to come, but will bring thousands of hours of joy to so many of our most needy children."
Storyteller Children's Center provides all day, tuition-free preschool for low-income and at-risk children, as well as support services for their families. Services include healthy meals, onsite therapy and counseling, and vision and dental screenings.
To learn more about this project or about Storyteller Children's Center, please contact Director of Development Rob Grayson at 805.682.9585.

So what do you do when a producer at the Martha Stewart Show asks if you can make it to NY with your artwork for one of their shows? EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, OF COURSE !!! And life handed me a golden ticket : where the recent sale of my first big composition of cast irons, has allowed us the funds to do just that. New York New York , here we come !
On April 22nd 2012, Andrew, our dog Zeus, and the big 550 # cast iron map of the 48 contiguous states called "Made In America", took a road trip out to Manhattan to install the map on Martha Stewart's last live episode of her TV show. We had a lot to prepare before making this excursion, starting with how to get the piece there. Shipping it would have been ridiculously expensive for us, so the only option is to take Andrew's '92 Ford E-250 van and pray for the best. First, we had to fix a few things though, including the fuel line, brakes and moving the hornets' nest out of the vehicle that had happily been living in the back for a few years. Thank goodness Andrew has befriended the creatures as his personal alarm system, and was able to safely find them a new home outside. He's also quite handy with vehicles, so he got right to it with repairs and cleaning the car up as best as possible for the big trip East.
Then we had to build crates for the piece. It's been 6 months since the piece was realized, so this step is inevitable and probably way over due already. With the help of our neighbor & wood carving artist friend Aaron Laux, we had our work cut out for us. He assisted in the design/ layout and wonderful second pair of skilled hands to help get the outside wooden shells put together in a day.
The next step was a tedious puzzle of fitting all 48 states into 2 designated crates. This took us 6 days to cut, measure, record and fit all the individual cast iron parts together safely for cross-country travel. These 2 crates are a piece of work in and of itself.
Packed up and ready to go, the 4 crates and our 2 bags just barely fit into the van, leaving all of 4 square feet for Zeuss our Border Collie / Lab mix to find a place to lay between us up front during the ride. Everything just barely fit ! What a good sport Zeuss was !
This was so incredible that it's almost impossible to exclaim all the awesome things we saw inside their studio and beyond. The team at Martha Stewart's TV Studio was like a well-oiled machine, except they were human of course, and oh so friendly and fun ;} I learned that in live TV world, you really just have to go with the flow and be a master at just letting some things happen while staying grounded in your strengths. Martha has perfected that talent, and I was SO thankful for her steady flow and radiant confidence.

Jon Chait edges toward agreeing with me that the political impact of a deficit reducing deal is to empower Republicans to enact tax cuts without an equivalent impact on the ability of Democrats to enact useful spending programs.
But he's not fully on board, noting that this isn't a real law of politics I'm appealing to just a tendency. To strengthen my argument I really do think it's important to note that the substantive argument for deficit reduction right now is weak. Above you will find a chart of interest payments on the federal debt as a share of GDP and see that right now it's fairly low. What's more, that ratio is almost certainly going to head downwards over the next few years as the economy recovers and deficit reduction measures already in place are implemented. So there's no payments crisis to address. There's also no sign of high interest rates crowding out private sector investment. So there's no real substantive reason to want large deficit reduction right now. It's a political issue, but there's a sound political argument that the politics of fiscal policy make large-scale deficit reduction useless.
But with all that said, I'm not an extremist on this. Chait and I agree that Obama has a good chance of securing $800 billion over ten years in extra tax revenue without really giving anything up. That cuts the deficit. Beyond that, while I don't think it makes sense to give up useful spending in order to obtain extra tax revenue it's hardly the case that everything the federal government spends money on is useless. People disagree about what is and isn't useful, of course, (this is why we have politics) but this is really the thing to focus on. Insofar as Obama can identify federal spending he thinks provides little value, he should eagerly embrace such cuts as part of a deal. That's the spirit of various progressive plans to reduce Medicare spending by soaking health care providers. But the money spent on providing Medicare benefits to 65 and 66 year-olds doesn't represent a waste of social resources. Money saved by the federal government is offset more than 1:1 by increased spending by households, firms, and state/local governments. What it represents, primarily, is a transfer of wealth to health care providers who get to charge higher non-Medicare rates.
Long story short, keeping the Medicare age where it is definitely counts as useful spending. Trading away useful spending in pursuit of higher taxes seems like a very risky bet on medium-term political dynamics. And substantively, deficit reduction is not an important priority right now and some of it is going to happen anyway. If Republicans insist on really bad ideas as the price of a deal, then you just don't make a deal.

What kernel code for that? I read "The ugen driver provides support for all USB devices that do not have a special driver." So it seems like I shouldn't have to do anything special to have a ugen0 (booting with 4.0 kernel instead of my custom built kernel for uscanner supporting the device). Well I heard from one person that USB scanner worked when they commented out the uscanner kernel configuration. Is that applicable even if uscanner doesn't know about the hardware? (I should try instead of asking but rebooting many times is slow!) Jeremy C. Reed

The massive wave of migrants flooding Europe is a man-made catastrophe, to be sure. It is the product of US and EU interventionist foreign policy and the obsession with regime change that is particularly pernicious in Washington. Hungary was originally blamed for trying to hold back the floodgates, but as Austria and Germany saw what was coming it appears Hungary was trying to do them a favor. Today's Liberty Report is joined by UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage to discuss the impact of the migration crisis on the EU and also whether a UK referendum on EU membership has any chance of passing:

I was pondering this as I prepared one of my presentations for ULearn08 recently. As I was looking through my slides a discussion popped up on Twitter briefly about the use of this term. It is not something we 'carelessly fling around' as we describe what we are setting out to achieve with our students.
We have a very simple definition and a deliberate plan of attack to help students grow one.
By this definition most audiences for student literacy outcomes in particular at school are not authentic; they are captive audiences. The class who is forced to listen while a student reads out a story, the assembly of students who have to watch what is happening on the stage, the staff who have to listen to the principal at a staff meeting...
But when we start talking about their work published on television, an area I started working in a decade ago, or the podcasts/movies/blogs etc published on the web - then we are talking about an authentic audience. This audience has the power of the remote or the mouse to surf on the second they lose interest. They are an authentic audience. And if they linger long enough to leave some feedback or a trace of their presence then they are a powerfuly authentic audience.
Last year when I had the opportunity to research the impact of the KPE podcast on student learning the survey responses over and over referred to the significance of knowing people were choosing to listen to them as a motivator for the reading and writing they needed to do to create a podcast episode. And it should not be surprising to us in this YouTube (subtitled 'Broadcast Yourself') age that the global and unknown audience was the most important to the students in the research sample.
There is a lot teachers can do to help our students reach an authentic audience with their writing or the digital learning objects they produce. We have co-constructed a pathway over a number of years which builds a foundation for this to occur. Within the school there is the daily television show where they can begin to experience an interested audience, though that is not an authentic one by our definition. The next stage, parents and community, are more of a proud audience - but they are definitely the beginning of an authentic audience. It is when their work appears on public televsion, on iTunes and on their blogs that students really begin to experience this. People who have chosen to listen to them.
If you haven't left a message of encouragement for a kid recently, start today. There are a number of student blogs on the sidebar to the left and oodles more out there. Take up a 30 day challenge. For thirty days visit 30 different student blogs and leave them a comment. You could change their lives - or at least their attitude to literacy.

|Terms of Use
SUBJECTS — Sports/Football; U.S./1945 - 1991 & Diversity;Age: 10+; MPAA Rating -- G; Drama; 1972; 74 minutes; Color; Available from Amazon.com.
Description: This is the true story of the friendship between professional football players Gale Sayers and Brian Piccolo, and of Piccolo's death from lung cancer at age 26. Piccolo and Sayers were the first interracial roommates on the Chicago Bears. They competed against each other for the same position on the team. None of this stood in the way of their friendship. The film is based on the book, I Am Third by Gale Sayers and Al Silverman.
Rationale for Using the Movie: Brian's Song illuminates the nature of friendship between men, interracial friendships, courage in the face of injury and disease, and sportsmanship. It thus serves to build character.
Objectives/Student Outcomes Using this Learning Guide: Students will learn excellent lessons about the above described topics and will exercise research and writing skills using a subject matter that provides easy access to their full attention.
Possible Problems: Minor. Some children may be disturbed by Piccolo's death at the age of 26. Racial epithets such as "nigger" are used in a joking and friendly way.
Discussion Questions:
After the film has been watched, engage the class in a discussion about the movie.
1. The fact that two men of different races could room together and become friends is a major theme in this film but would have little impact on today's viewers. What does this say about race relations in the United States in the late 1960s, the time of the events described in this movie? Suggested Response: Answers will vary, but essentially they depend upon student's awareness of race relations prior to the advances in American society caused by the Civil Rights Movement. Some might note that in 1966, the year these two men began rooming together, Jim Crow laws were still in effect in many parts of the country.
2. What is the reason Piccolo helped Sayers recover from his knee injury despite the fact that the injury allowed him to play in Sayer's coveted position? Suggested Response: Piccolo wasn't happy about being promoted to the position of starting halfback "for all the wrong reasons". He helped Sayers recover out of friendship and to prove that he wasn't going to take advantage of another man's adversity. Piccolo's sense of sportsmanship precluded competing against an injured opponent.
3. What is one of the major ways that Sayers dealt with his grief over the death of Piccolo? Suggested Response: Sayers wrote a book about Piccolo and their friendship. In the book, entitled I am Third, Sayers pays homage to his friend. The book was, in a sense, a way to deal with the death of a loved one.
For additional discussion questions, click here.
Any of the discussion questions can serve as a writing prompt. Additional assignments include:
1. There are many who believe that athletes today are more interested in high salaries than in the sport and that sportsmanship is secondary to income. Write an opinion essay on your beliefs in regards to these issues. You may want to research commentaries by sports writers and social critics to back up the points you make.
2. Write an informative essay on health issues faced by professional athletes. Piccolo's story is uncommon in sports, but many diseases and injures are issues the athletes must address over their careers. Research, for example, the current studies that show the predominance of brain injuries in football players and the many health issues professional athletes face after they retire. Conclude your essay with a suggestion about what can be done to better protect athletes in the future.
3. Write a personal reflection on an important friendship in your life that was somehow sundered, either by changing schools, having a friend move away or simply by drifting apart over time. Make the nature of the friendship clear. You may want to give examples of the kinds of activities in which you and your friend engaged and then explain how you felt and what you did about the loss of the friend. Use five ways to show meaning: describe action, include dialogue, reveal thoughts of the characters, use descriptive language, and compare one thing to another.

The Shawnee Veteran's Committee encourages citizens to show their stripes at the Fourth of July Parade.
The Shawnee Veteran's Committee encourages citizens to show their stripes at the Fourth of July Parade.
"We sure want a lot of people to be in the parade and just get the kids involved, ride bicycles, anything you want to do," Bill Ford, president of Shawnee Milling Company and head of the veteran's committee, said.
Those driving a vehicle in the parade will meet at Billy Boy Bar-B-Que, located at 120 W. MacArthur St., at 8:30 a.m. July 4. Anyone walking, riding bikes or otherwise participating in the parade will meet at First Christian Church on 1625 N. Broadway at 8 a.m. The parade will begin around 9 a.m.
Free hot dogs and drinks will be provided for children in the parade. The only requirement is that participants be dressed patriotically in red, white and blue.
The parade will meet up at the Veteran's Memorial at 10 a.m., where there will be a celebration.
"We sure hope everybody will get involved and bring their families," Ford said. "It's not a real formal deal, it's just a parade of people getting together and showing their patriotism."

ERS TECH DUAL™ is the core technology we use to construct the best stand up paddle boards on the water. The construction in used in all our boards and is the DNA of our product. In 2017 we have used two core construction processes to ensure the right SUP is available to everyone, and for use in any water environment. If it has our logo on it, you can be assured it is the best quality SUP construction on the market.
An ERS stand up paddle board is the perfect blend of modern material science, focused physics, and art inspired visuals. Our 2017 line up was built from the DNA of our 2016 Sky Lake series that were a massive success for us, and showed just how well an inflatable SUP could perform – if it was built right.
A board's design can only be as good as what it is made from and we have developed the most advanced SUP material and construction to ensure trouble free performance. Both of our core designs feature material enhancements that provide enhanced rigidity, while keeping the boards lightweight and making your paddling sessions fun and enjoyable.
The CORE structure of our inflatable paddle boards is a resilient PVC but the secret is in the layering which produces a structure that is flexible enough to inflate, deflate, and roll up. The PVC layers are bound together with a high tensile string bound structure which allows the board to hold the intended shape when inflated. Below is a brief description the material layers and internal structure of our two constructions.
The V-II Core is the evolution of our time tested construction which has a second layer of military grade fabric thermally fused to the inner core. It is an additional production step that allows custom tuning of the board properties for the specific design parameters. Weight, strength, flex, and wear properties are all accurately controlled by means of thermal flex layering. It is a more costly process but it allows us to produce the highest quality performance boards without compromise.
The V-II Core series feature a diamond groove grip texture on the deck pad and LRC™ Fin System for the SUP rider who wants to tune their ride to their environment and paddling style.
The SKYLAKE Enhanced construction is built around a high tensile inner core that is fusion bonded to an integral layer of hard wearing PVC, resulting in a lightweight board with exceptional strength and rigidity. They also feature longer deck pads with high grip diamond groove at the tail and smoother croc skin texture on the rest of the board, which enhances comfort for all the things you might want to do on a SUP. The SKYLAKE Enhanced boards continues the design principles we started with our original SKYLAKE boards in that we wanted a SUP that was practically bulletproof and provide years of enjoyment to it's user. SKYLAKE are available in GREEN (Permanent Unbreakable Fins) or BLUE (LRC™ Fin System)
The quality feel of a board is a synergy effect that requires all components working together – it isn't only about the base material construction. While making a great SUP board starts with the raw materials, the key is combining quality materials, components, and design that keeps the board light and high-performing while ensuring longevity for its owner. Below are some of the enhancements we design into our boards which add to the overall experience:
We use the best PVC available in our boards but have developed techniques to reduce weight. Our PVC fabrics and coatings are among the strongest on the market yet our boards weigh only 19-26lbs!
40% THICKER deck pads
Cheap deckpads can wear because they are the place where all the action happens. We use a more resilient rubber on our pads that resists wear, disperses pressure, and provides an exceptional grip for the rider.
We experimented for several years with different fin boxes until we were satisfied we had a keeper. Our fin boxes are tough and rugged with just enough flex in case they take a bump underwater. Our fixed fins are unbreakable and trouble-free.
Only the best. D-rings, handles, bungee cords. We specify with our factory to use the highest grade components and a specific manufacturing techniques in order to maintain a board that keeps its structural integrity even in intense heat or cold.

Casey Siemaszko, Oct. 9, 1987
Standard-Examiner staff
OGDEN -- Filmmakers must wonder if half the kids in America want to be in the movies. Before the casting calls for "Three O'Clock High" were over, about 3,200 actors had auditioned for the lead role.
Chicago-born actor Casey Siemaszko was one of the 3,200 who showed up for casting calls in Los Angeles, New York or Chicago – or who sent in a videotape (they came from 17 states) – hoping to win the part of high school journalism student Jerry Mitchell. Two and a half months later, in September 1986 – after a series of readings and screen tests – Siemaszko got the part. Four days later, he was in Ogden preparing for his first starring role in a motion picture.
"The first time I read for (the part) I had just finished 'Gardens of Stone,'" Siemaszko (pronounced Sham-OSH-koe) said during a lunch break at Ogden High School last November. "I was a soldier in that film and I had a buzz-cut and flat-top and I wore a white T-shirt. … I didn't feel like I looked right for the part.
"He's right," said the film's director, Phil Joanou. "I don't know how many times I watched that tape of him with my hand held up to (the TV monitor to) cover his hair."
As he sat eating a plate of vegetables in a small office behind the auditorium stage, it was hard to imagine Siemaszko looking any different than the 18-year-old character he plays in "Three O'Clock High." In reality he's seven years older.
"Everybody (here) in the school thinks I'm 20," the actor said shortly after taking a seat. "But I'm actually 25, have a college degree, etc. I don't want them to know how old I am, at least not yet."
Siemaszko was born Kazimierz Siemaszko to a Polish father and British mother in Chicago.
"I use Casey because having two difficult names is too much, I think, he explained."The reason I didn't change my last name is because my parents are immigrants and I'm first-generation. "That's part of it. The Siemaszko family in Poland is a big acting family. And in the future I hope to do film there, as well, because I speak the language fluently and I read it and write it."
In fact, the actor said, all the early stage work he did was in Polish. "My dad and I were in a Polish folk dance group," he explained, adding that he went to Polish Saturday school and was a member of a Polish Boy Scout troop. Saturday school, he said, was the toughest to get used to.
"It was sort of like, 'Wow, I'm gonna miss cartoons on Saturday morning.' But in the long run it's turned out to be quite a good experience. I went to school there for two years, so I really got to learn the language and got a feel for the culture. So I'm a real Polish person."
After attending St. Ignatius College Prep, a strict Jesuit-run high school -- Siemaszko earned a degree from the prestigious Goodman School of Drama in Chicago.
"While I was there I realized that there was more to acting than I thought," the actor said between bites of his lunch. "So then I really took it seriously and I worked there professionally, after school, for about a year and a half."
During that time, he got a taste of what it was like to perform in front of a camera. He did a TV pilot with Robert Conrad -- "Hard Knox" -- for NBC; industrial training films for McDonalds, Brunswick and Pizza Hut; scored a bit part in the film "Class," and continued his stage work.
'"It was a good environment," he recalled, "because right now Chicago is a happening theater town and you get a lot of good habits that way."
Still, he wasn't getting the jobs he wanted. "I was getting really frustrated because all the leads (in film and television) are cast in L.A. or New York." Siemaszko already had his union cards and some experience, and his Chicago agent had put him in touch with' an agent on the West Coast.
"And (the people in L.A.) were just like, 'You gotta come out and we'll get you some work.' So I said, 'Mom, Dad, I gotta go.' And I just packed up my VW bug with $500 or $600, my guitars, my TV set, my VCR and I was gone."
The trek west was in March 1984, and Siemaszko was out of work for almost a year.
"It was pretty slim for a while," he said. "I was praying to God that my tax return would come so I would be able to survive a couple of months."
When he wasn't running to auditions, Siemaszko worked for a moving company.
"I looked at it like starting a business. The first two years of your business is like a rocky road." Then he smiled, twisted his fork in circles in the cheese sauce on his plate, looked up and admitted. "But if it wouldn't have clicked in four years I'd probably still have been doing it."
His tenacious attitude came from his parents, Siemaszko said, who taught him to finish everything he started. And eventually he got work – a recurring character on "St. Elsewhere" as Lizzie Westphal's college boyfriend.
"I was a little beefier then," the slim actor said. "I've trimmed down some. I eat a lot of vegetables and drink a gallon of water every day."
The TV part was just the ticket he'd been looking for – a recurring character on a critically praised show – and so casting directors started giving him jobs, including small roles in "Secret Admirer," "Back to the Future" and "Stand by Me." His three or four lines in "Back to the Future" got his name in front of the folks at Steven Spielberg's production company, Amblin Entertainment, which produced the film. And subsequently, he was able to read for "Amazing Stories," landing the part of the doomed tail-gunner in the Spielberg-directed episode titled "The Mission."
When Siemaszko interviewed with Spielberg for the part, he said they ended up talking about assembling airplane models because both had done it when they were young.
"I really didn't even know who he was when I walked into the room," Siemaszko said. "They were all in the room talking and I thought, 'Wow, which one of them is Steven Spielberg?' But he's a real human individual."
Siemaszko seems to be much the same -- a down-to-earth sort of guy who enjoys the process of acting, even if it means he's always playing characters who are younger than his actual age.
"The fact that I'm older and that I play younger characters is only a plus," he said. "Because in this particular role there are so many levels and so many ups and downs." Siemaszko's character, Jerry, is a straight-laced student who spends the entire film trying to avoid having to fight the campus bully after school.
"In terms of, 'Am I going to be playing 18-year-olds for the rest of my life?' Well, sometimes it's sort of a drag, but in terms of your whole life it's pretty small. Right now I can play a larger range because I'm older – upstairs -- I'm older," he said, tapping his index finger on the side of his head.
Siemaszko, who killed time between takes entertaining the cast and crew by playing blues guitar, said it was fun to finally be the star. And "Three O'Clock High" was particularly enjoyable to make. Or, to use his words, "There's a good mojo on the set."

The contentious parent trigger bill got its first hearing in the Senate Education Committee on Monday. Not surprisingly, it passed along party lines.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Kelli Stargel, would allow parents to petition for sweeping changes at failing traditional schools. One possible change: having the school converted into a charter school.
SB 862 is different from its companion in the House. The House version prevents students at struggling schools from having ineffective or out-of-field teachers for two years in a row; the Senate bill has no such prohibitions, though it does require schools to notify parents when their children are assigned to poor-performing instructors.
Most parents in the audience on Monday spoke out against the proposal. A handful expressed their support, including Nicolas Gutierrez, a Miami-Dade County attorney and father of three. "Is this [bill] perfect? Of course not," Gutierrez. "But it's a step in the right direction."
(Gutierrez was appointed to the South Florida Water Management Board by former Jeb Bush, who has championed the parent-trigger proposal. Gutierrez later told The Miami Herald his relationship with Bush had nothing to do with his testimony.)
Stargel said it was too soon to say if there would be enough votes for the measure to pass on the Senate floor. It failed on the last day of session last year.
"I think we have much more support [than last year]," Stargel said. "What happened last year was more political than about policy."
The House version heads to the floor of the lower chamber later this week.

Pavano's Mustache Will Keep Him Warm in Minnesota
It's official. Carl Pavano has decided to stay with the Minnesota Twins.
The two sides agreed to terms Wednesday on a two-year contract worth $16.5 million. Until today, the 35-year-old mustachioed righty was one of only a handful of decent starters remaining on the free agent market.
After agreeing to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Twins last offseaon, Pavano grew a weird (yet somehow badass) mustache and went on to compile a 17-11 record and 3.75 ERA, leading the team in wins and innings pitched (221) in 2010.
Since joining Minnesota back in August of 2009, Pavstache is 22-15 with a 3.97 ERA with 176 strikeouts over 44 starts. In fact, he became the team's ace during that time while fellow starter Francisco Liriano nursed himself back to health from Tommy John surgery.
Looks like that was more or less the final order of offseason business for the Twins, since the club re-signed veteran Jim Thome last week to a one-year, $3 million deal chock full of performance bonuses for all those taters he plans to mash this year.
This Just In... We suddenly find him less attractive.

Farlan Entertainment, the company responsible for Dark and Light, have announced that they will be offering "Three months of no invoices for existing and new subscribers". The company says that the decision was made to offset the fact that the game was released too early. The press release goes on to blame the premature release on pressure from the game's investors as well as the gaming community.
PORT LOUIS, MAURITUS — (August 15, 2006) — Farlan Entertainment, publisher of Dark and Light™, The Largest MMORPG You've Ever Seen!, today announced it is embarking on a new initiative to correct and improve various operational aspects of Dark and Light. While worldwide play in the Internet game will not be interrupted during this period, Farlan is nonetheless offering a thank you to the hundreds of thousands of Dark and Light subscribers who have signed on thus far by offering three months of play with no monthly subscription fee.
Dark and Light, which debuted in June of this year, has broken new ground in many aspects of MMORPG entertainment, bringing to the industry the largest virtual game surface ever, total freedom of movement without loading time, and three axes of character progression, among other breakthroughs. However, Farlan Entertainment now acknowledges that the game was released prematurely due to pressure from its investors and from the gaming community.
To rectify the situation, the company is taking several major steps. First, to facilitate the change/upgrade process, Farlan has signed a new production agreement with SnailGame Entertainment. SnailGame, a game developer which currently handles distribution of Dark and Light in China, will provide additional people to focus on graphic and scenic production. Farlan wishes to reiterate that NP Cube will continue to oversee Dark and Light's evolution and technical/creative control.
Second, Dark and Light's development team will focus on improving and correcting the game's technical challenges, especially its handling, user interface, processing speed, game immersion, and battle performance. The process of upgrading and improving Dark and Light is already underway; for example, a new major patch was recently installed that corrects a number of game balancing and graphic interface issues. Additional major improvements will be forthcoming very soon.
Third, to reward the Dark and Light subscribers who have stayed the course during the past few months, Farlan is making Dark and Light available for three months with no subscription fee; that is, no invoicing for the next three month period. All operational aspects of the game, including user accounts and player credits, will be maintained during this period. It is anticipated that this free subscription phase will provide ample time for the various technical corrections to be made.
The free Dark and Light subscription is being made available to current subscribers; however, new access keys are still available to any player wanting to take part in Dark and Light. Purchase price for an access key is $39.99 USD (39,99€, taxes included).
