North Carolina Appalachian Community Colleges Receive $300,000 ARC Grant for Green Workforce Training
August 2010
WASHINGTON, August 4, 2010—North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue, U.S. Congressman Heath Shuler, and Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Federal Co-Chair Earl F. Gohl announced a $300,000 grant today to the Southwestern North Carolina Planning and Economic Development Commission to assist three Appalachian community colleges in developing a green workforce training program.
The announcement of the grant was made during a press conference convened by ARC at Western Carolina University. The grant will be matched by another $494,000 in local funding, for a total of $794,000 to develop the training program. Some 400 students are anticipated to enroll in the program at Haywood, Southwestern, and Tri-County Community Colleges.
The training curriculum will include civil engineering, sustainable technology, green weatherization and retrofitting, biofuel production, sustainable horticulture, and hybrid automotive technology.
Perdue welcomed the new training program: "The green economy is critical, I think, to all of our state as we look at future jobs in the twenty-first century. We understand that we have to create the green workforce to provide services to our businesses and our citizens. There is nothing more important in my mind to the long-term quality of life than for all of us to be committed to greening up our environment."
Gohl praised the collaborative nature of the project, noting that "it is not often that we have three community colleges working with a local development district." This kind of "unique and very critical" partnership, he said, would "help bring about a workforce that is much more competitive and able to respond to the jobs of the future." He noted that it represented "one more step in the development and implementation of the clean energy economy of North Carolina."
Shuler said that "the ARC money will help us develop the workforce that's needed to not only create jobs here but also to bring jobs that are now being sent overseas, to western North Carolina." As a result, he noted, "we'll have the workforce to be able to recruit companies to this region."
Southwestern North Carolina Planning and Economic Development Commission executive director Bill Gibson received the $300,000 check on behalf of the commission. "This project is a chance for the Appalachian Regional Commission to help provide incentives for the growth of the green energy, renewable energy, and clean energy economy of western North Carolina vis-a-vis equipment and training resources for our three community colleges," he said.
Scott Ralls, president of the North Carolina Community College System, said the project will "make our workforce competitive in the important areas of clean technology and energy efficiency." Newly trained workers will benefit "not just by the skills that they develop but also by the economic opportunities that will be brought to regions such as this."
Also in attendance at the press conference were Rose Johnson, president of Haywood Community College; Donna Tipton-Rogers, president of Tri-County Community College; and Janet Burnette, vice president of Southwestern Community College.

Who doesn't love a midrange deck with a combo finish? Jamal Greenidge certainly does, as he used the Eldrazi Displacer / Zulaport Cutthroat / Brood Monitor combo to place third at a recent Invitational Qualifier.
This deck packs a lot of powerful Abzan cards, such as Siege Rhino and Abzan Charm, but also splashes a fourth "color" with Thought-Knot Seer and Eldrazi Displacer. Painlands provide colorless mana, but you can also use Pilgrim's Eye to fetch up a Wastes if you need it.
Eldrazi Displacer is a solid card on its own, but its ability is very nice here. Not only can you "blink" a Siege Rhino for extra value, but you also have Catacomb Sifter and Pilgrim's Eye to blink if you have nothing else to do with your mana. My favorite use for Eldrazi Displacer is on offense. The creature will always come back tapped, so you can use it to clear blockers out of the way.
In a sense, this deck is very similar to Rally. It's a midrange deck that can win on its own merit, but occasionally it will piece together the combo and finish the opponent off out of nowhere. In the meantime, you're a rock solid Abzan deck, which isn't the worst place to be.
Creatures (24)
- 3 Pilgrim's Eye
- 2 Brood Monitor
- 4 Catacomb Sifter
- 4 Eldrazi Displacer
- 4 Siege Rhino
- 2 Thought-Knot Seer
- 4 Zulaport Cutthroat
- 1 Tasigur, the Golden Fang

White Sox 13, Cards 5
Notes: The White Sox have scored at least eight runs in six straight games, a franchise record. ... White Sox rookie CF Brian Anderson dropped his appeal and began serving a five-game suspension for his role in a brawl with the Cubs last month. ... Cards manager Tony La Russa said he expects Albert Pujols to begin playing at least by Monday -- if not sooner -- when the Cardinals open a three-game series at home against the Indians.
Brewers 4, Tigers 3
MILWAUKEE Â? Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer with two outs in the seventh inning as Milwaukee snapped the TigersÂ? six-game winning streak.
WeeksÂ? seventh homer of the season came on a 2-0 pitch from fireballing Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya, landing just over the wall in left center field as outfielder Curtis Granderson tried to make a leaping catch.
Detroit starter Nate Robertson gave up three runs � two earned � in 6ð innings before giving up a pinch-hit single to Chris Barnwell, his first major league hit. Robertson then left the game with tightness in his left quadriceps and is listed as day to day.
Cubs 9, Indians 2
CLEVELAND Â? Staked to a 9-1 lead after three innings following an 8-run Chicago third, Carlos Zambrano (6-3) allowed two runs and six hits in a rain-shortened 7-inning contest. Neifi Perez and Aramis Ramirez had two RBIs for the Cubs, who tagged C.C. Sabathia (5-4) for a career-high nine runs and eight hits in 3Ã innings. He was undone by a pair of defensive lapses in the third. First baseman Ben Broussard and second baseman Ronnie Belliard were guilty of mental lapses on back-to-back plays. Sabathia gave up two singles to open the inning but got Phil Nevin to hit a grounder to Broussard. Broussard, though, threw home before the runner broke, allowing the Cubs to load the bases. Matt Murton followed with a tricky hopper to Belliard, who fielded the ball cleanly. However, instead of throwing the ball to second or first, he didnÂ?t throw it anywhere while the Cubs scored a run and re-loaded the bases.
Angels 6, Giants 3
SAN FRANCISCO Â? Maicer Izturis hit a tiebreaking, three-run double off the wall in left in the eighth inning and Los Angeles avoided a three-game sweep by the Giants.
Juan Rivera hit a go-ahead two-run homer to left in the sixth but the Giants tied it the next inning when Barry Bonds drove in a run on a groundout.
The slugger entered as a pinch-hitter with runners on the corners and no outs and grounded into a double play that allowed Pedro Feliz to score the tying run from third.
Orioles 4, Marlins 0
BALTIMORE Â? Erik Bedard ended another lengthy winning streak, this time with a pitching performance that was nearly perfect for seven innings.
Bedard took a one-hitter into the eighth and Baltimore snapped FloridaÂ?s nine-game winning streak.
The only Florida batter to reach base over the first seven innings was Alfredo Amezaga, who lined a clean single to center with one out in the fourth.
Bedard retired 21 of 22 batters before Wes Helms led off the eighth with an infield hit and Jeremy Hermida was hit by a pitch. Bedard then struck out Miguel Olivo, Chris Aguila and Reggie Abercrombie.
Javy Lopez homered, and Brian Roberts and Corey Patterson each had three hits for the Orioles, who improved to 5-12 against Florida since the start of interleague play in 1997.
Astros 5, Twins 3
HOUSTON Â? Adam Everett had two doubles and two RBIs and Lance Berkman homered as Houston snapped the TwinsÂ? eight-game winning streak.
Preston Wilson singled off reliever Kyle Lohse (2-5) to start the AstrosÂ? two-out rally in the eighth that led to their 10th win in 14 games. Eric Munson walked before Jason Lane muscled a soft liner into right to score Wilson.
Everett followed with a double off the left field wall to score Munson and knock Lohse out of the game before he retired a batter.
Royals 6, Pirates 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Â? Mark TeahenÂ?s tiebreaking two-run home run off Salomon Torres in the eighth inning lifted Kansas City.
Teahen, whose error at third base earlier in the game led to an unearned run, hit the first pitch from Torres (2-4) over the fence in right for his fourth home run. Emil Brown started the inning with a single.
The Royals, who still have the worst record in the majors, have won four of their last five. It was the seventh loss in a row for the Pirates, who are 1-7 this year against the American League.
Ambiorix Burgos pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 17 opportunities. Elmer Dessens (4-6) pitched 1ð hitless innings for the win.
Reds 6, Mets 5
NEW YORK Â? Brandon Phillips hit a two-out, two-run single off Mets closer Billy Wagner in the ninth inning to help Cincinnati overcome Jose ReyesÂ? cycle in a victory over New York.
Wagner retired the first two batters easily but then walked Austin Kearns and pinch-hitter David Ross. Pinch-hitter Rich Aurilia reached on an infield single to third and Phillips followed with a sharp single to center.
Kearns and pinch-runner Quinton McCracken scored to put the Reds in front 6-5.
Red Sox 9, Nationals 3
BOSTON Â? Jon Lester struck out 10 in six innings in his third major league game, David Ortiz hit a grand slam and Boston won its sixth straight.
Lester, BostonÂ?s top pitching prospect when he joined the team on June 10, allowed three hits and two walks. He finished his night by striking out Matthew LeCroy on a 92 mph fastball. The left-hander pumped his fist before walking toward the dugout to a standing ovation.
Lester (2-0) had the most strikeouts by a Red Sox pitcher this season.
Ortiz hit his 21st homer of the season and fifth career grand slam to give Boston a 4-0 lead in the second as he increased his AL-leading RBI total to 64.
D-Rays 3, DÂ?backs 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Â? Rookie James Shields allowed four hits in seven innings and Rocco Baldelli continued his torrid hitting with a run-scoring double to help Tampa Bay beat slumping Arizona.
Shields (4-0) became the first Devil Rays pitcher to begin his career with four straight victories. He held the Diamondbacks hitless until the fifth inning and finished with five strikeouts and three walks.
Baldelli, who missed all of 2005 and the first two months of this season with a variety of injuries, went 2-for-3 against Brandon Webb (8-3) and is hitting .388 with two homers and six RBIs in 13 games since coming off the disabled list.
Padres 3, Rangers 2
ARLINGTON, Texas Â? Pinch-runner Ben Johnson raced home from third with the go-ahead run in the ninth inning as San Diego took advantage of an error by Texas third baseman Hank Blalock.
The score was tied at 2 and San Diego had runners on first and second on singles by former Ranger Adrian Gonzalez and Khalil Greene against ex-Padre Akinori Otsuka (2-3).
With Vinny Castilla batting, Otsuka threw a wild pitch that bounced off catcher Gerald Laird, who retrieved the ball up the third base line and fired it to third trying to get Johnson, who was running for Gonzalez. But Blalock couldnÂ?t come up with the throw and was charged with an error.
Yankees 5, Phillies 0
PHILADELPHIA Â? Jaret Wright combined with four relievers on a three-hitter to lead the Yankees.
Wright (4-4) gave up three hits, struck out a season-high six in five innings and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Johnny Damon went 3-for-3 with an RBI for New York, which has won two straight after losing eight of 11.
Cole Hamels (1-3) pitched seven strong innings for the Phillies, who finished 2-7 on their only homestand this month to fall to 35-37.
Blue Jays 6, Braves 3
ATLANTA Â? Lyle Overbay had two RBIs in TorontoÂ?s four-run third inning and the Blue Jays beat Atlanta to give the Braves their longest losing streak in 18 years.
Tim Hudson, who has dominated Toronto in his career, couldnÂ?t rescue the Braves from their first nine-game losing streak since opening the 1988 season with 10 straight losses.
The Braves have lost 19 of 22 games, including a 2-17 mark in June. They trail first-place New York by 14½ games in the NL East, their largest deficit since 1990 when Atlanta finished last, 26 games back.
Giants 3, Angels 2
SAN FRANCISCO Â? Matt Morris pitched six strong innings to win his sixth straight interleague start and also provided the offense with a two-run double, leading the San Francisco Giants past the Los Angeles Angels.
Mark Sweeney doubled and singled, and rookie catcher Eliezer Alfonzo doubled and scored twice for the Giants, who evened their interleague record at 4-4 with their second straight win after being swept by the Mariners in Seattle.
Mariners 9, Dodgers 4
LOS ANGELES Â? Adrian Beltre made a triumphant return to Dodger Stadium, hitting a two-run homer in his first at-bat, adding a double and two walks, and scoring four times to lead the Seattle Mariners to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Richie Sexson had three hits including his 12th homer for the Mariners, who have won four straight games and 10 of 14. They are 7-0 interleague play.

Remembering victims of Titanic: Ernest Edward Samuel Freeman
Ernest Freeman is listed in White Star records as Chief Deck Steward on the Titanic; however, he also served as a secretary to White Star chairman Joseph Bruce Ismay, whom you will note is credited with erecting his headstone. You will also notice the number 239 near the bottom of the marker which indicates that Freeman's body was the 239th to be recovered from the sea.
During the tenure of his employment with White Star, Mr. Freeman was paid a monthly salary of £3 15s. After his death Mr. J. Bruce Ismay arranged for Freeman's family to receive a life-long pension. Shortly after the disaster, Ismay donated $50,000 to the pension fund for widows of seamen on the Titanic, and in 1924 he inaugurated the National Mercantile Marine fund with a gift of $125,000. Perhaps Mr. Ismay felt a little guilty for having survived the catastrophe.

balance, change, dharma dawgs, love, moving on, radical amazement, yoga
After my rambling post from last night, I am back to say that yes, it is time for me to move on. I have decided to stop posting on this particular blog. It's been languishing for a while anyway, and I think I'd like to focus on my other two blogs. If you follow me here, I invite you to follow me at one or both of my other blogs:
Radical Amazement – a place for evolving creativity – essays, poems, photos, posts for peace, and who knows what – come share the journey.
Dharma Dawgs – stories of my 4 legged dharma teachers: Twinkle (li'l Bit) and Star begin their journey toward therapy dawg-dom, and along the way offer dharma teachings to their humans. Share the journey, and help us find homes for other currently homeless Dharma Dawgs.
Thanks for visiting here, for reading, commenting and being a part of Yoga As You Are, and for sharing this bit of the path with me. I wish you many blessings, and may your yoga practice guide you into the places that are perfect for your own greatest growth and adventure.

Barbarians v South Africa, Twickenham, December 4
Giteau to skipper Baa Baas

Discarded Wallaby Matt Giteau will end his northern hemisphere tour on a high after being handed the captaincy of the Barbarians for Saturday's Twickenham showdown with South Africa.
The Brumbies playmaker, who lost his place in the Australia side to Berrick Barnes for recent Tests against Italy and France, starts at fly-half against the Springboks in what is his third Baa Baas appearance in the last four years.
"This is a great honour and I am deeply grateful to the Barbarians committee for the confidence thay have shown in me," Giteau said.
He is joined at halfback by Wallabies colleague Will Genia, while wing Drew Mitchell, centre Adam Ashley-Cooper, fullback James O'Connor and hooker Stephen Moore all bolster the Aussie ranks with starting roles.
Centre Ma'a Nonu leads a five-strong All Black contingent in the starting XV, with Joe Rokocoko starting out wide and Neemia Tialata, Chris Jack and Rodney So'oialo in the pack. On the bench, Keven Mealamu, Daniel Braid, Andy Ellis and Stephen Donald complete the Kiwi contingent.
Wales flanker Martyn Williams is back for more after representing the Baa Baas in their June meetings with England and Ireland and will be hoping for another big showing against the Springboks after scoring a solo try against them in black and white hoops during a 22-5 win in 2007.
His Cardiff Blues team-mate John Yapp takes a spot among the replacements while Italy's Salvatore Perugini starts at loose-head to complete the Six Nations representation. Chiefs No.8 Colin Bourke and Stormers lock Anton van Zyl are the uncapped players in the squad and both start.
Barbarians: J O'Connor (Aus); J Rococoko (NZ), A Ashley-Cooper (Aus), M Nonu (NZ), D Mitchell (Aus); M Giteau (Aus, capt), W Genia (Aus); S Perugini (Ita), S Moore (Aus), N Tialata (NZ), A van Zyl (Stormers), C Jack (NZ), R So'oialo (NZ), M Williams (Wales), C Bourke (Chiefs)

Pathfinder: Domain
What do you want?
Goddess of Chaos & Choice
Holy Colour: Hers is the colour PURPLE, of madness.
Alignment: CN
Domains: Chaos, Liberation, Luck, Madness, Trickery.
Favoured Weapon: Chakram
Centers of Worship: Mor-Denoch, Enotia and Kajir.
Talasa (pronounced 'Tal-a-Sah') wanders the Godsrealm of Valael and has no home to call her own. Like Juhemi she is almost always on the move, and rarely stays still for long. Also known as "The Mad Goddess", Talasa often talks to herself and in fact possesses many personalities – the difference between her and someone with multiple personality disorder being that all are present at once, and her main dominant personality is in control…. this doesn't mean that she doesn't seek counsel with the others nor simply enjoys chatting to them however.
Most commonly seen as either a humanoid female or in the form of a massive one-hundred foot tall Legendary Chimera, she is recognizable by her shock of purple hair (or mane) and her violet eyes as well as the fact she is always talking to someone – usually herself.
Talasa expects nothing from her followers, and that is more complex that is sounds. As the Goddess of Chaos and Choice, she literally 'expects' nothing, which is to say she does not influence how her followers act at all. If anything, her followers are encouraged to follow their own path, make their own choices and come to their own conclusions.
It is through this seeming disconnection with her followers that perhaps explains Talasa's popularity however; she asks very little of her followers, yet will always offer reflection on all sides of an argument or decision when asked. Though she will never present an 'answer' to someone who asks her advice (she encourages the same in her followers), she will always present all the options so that they can make an informed decision.
During the Titanswar Talasa was at first seemingly hesitant to enter combat, then suddenly entered the fray with incredible gusto, using her Chakram to catch the gigantic Titans off-guard and cause them to stumble. During the Reckoning she was a lot more resolved, but moved around the battlefield with such speed and seemingly at random that her brothers and sisters had no hope of relying on her for help, instead hoping that wherever she was at that precise moment she was doing some good toward their fight.
Talasa visits mortals seemingly at random, usually with bizarre or unfathomable requests. Of all the Gods she is the most difficult for mortals to familiarize with, and the most wise among her followers have learnt that to question her motives are to court madness. The Goddess of Chaos and Choice appears to mortals however she pleases, as often in spirit or dream form as she does physical manifestation. There is no pattern to her behaviour in this way, and as such one is not always sure they are at first even being visited by the Goddess. Each meeting with her is different, and her appearance can be literally anything. She is not beyond using even inanimate objects to represent herself. The only true tell-tale sign with Talasa, in fact her only real constant, is the fact she talks to herself incessantly unless addressing someone directly. Be it in whispers, normal speaking voice or shouting, she is never quiet for very long.
Talasa's Herald is the Arcanotheign, an ever-curious creature who the Goddess seems to have no interest in controlling or guiding. It travels at its own will, doing as it pleases, but will always follow its mistress' instruction on the rare occasion they gives one.
Talasa's Angelic Host is made up of Trumpet Archons who have the dubious honour of speaking on the Goddess' behalf. The only creatures with the serenity and patience to even begin to understand Talasa's wishes, they are her voice and represent her not only on Tulun but also in the Godsrealm of Valael.
The Goddess of Chaos and Choice has a complex relationship with her divine brothers and sisters, wavering from ignoring them entirely to infuriating them to giving them moments of contemplative pause. She often finds herself at loggerheads with her brother Hanglr who seems so stuck in his ways, and Lakoth who seems insistent on trying 'understand' her.
Priests, Temples & the Church:
The priests of Talasa are an unusual bunch, in so far as the fact that each one is different and answers to nobody but themselves. There is no such thing as a temple to the Godess of Chaos and Choice, though she and her followers are recognized in scripture and hymns during Church services.
Made up entirely or Clerics only, Talasa's Clergy are a law unto themselves but travel the land preaching the importance of choice and the freedom to choose to any who will listen. Due to their credo of offering the best in choices to others they are often employed as impartial mediators of disputes, seeing as they have no interest or bias in any given situation beyond all sides being as informed as they can be to come to their own conclusions.

Click above for a high-res gallery of the KTM X-Bow
Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) has tuned almost every product in the Volkswagen/Audi stable, so it makes sense that they'd work their magic on the turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI found in the KTM X-Bow.
The boosted four has proven to be just as tweakable as the venerable 1.8T it replaced, and MTM is has announced plans to raise output of the X-Bow from 237 to 380 hp. Torque figures should rise accordingly (we're guessing something in the neighborhood of 350 lb-ft) and the 0-60 times will surely drop from the factory-stated 3.9-seconds -- assuming MTM can get the additional ponies to the ground in a civilized fashion.
Expect a range of brake, wheel and suspension upgrades to be included, and hope that MTM offers its wares in the States if the KTM makes good on its promise to bring the X-Bow to the U.S.

Harassment on the basis of sex is a violation of Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
Since sexual harassment is generally recognized as a form of sexual discrimination, employees or students who feel they have been harassed can file a complaint under the University's Discrimination Complaint Procedures.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provide that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of his or her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
A "disability" is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of having such an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a record of having such an impairment, or being regarded as having one. "Disability" covers a wide range of conditions and includes mobility, vision, hearing, or speech impairments, learning disabilities, chronic health conditions, emotional illnesses, AIDS, HIV positive, and a history of drug addiction or alcoholism.
Accessibility for people with disabilities is often viewed solely as architectural or physical access. The ADA, however, goes beyond this concept to require that all of our services, programs, and activities be accessible. To ensure compliance, SUNY Brockport has designated a coordinator for ADA compliance. The coordinator can be contacted directly to discuss the provision of reasonable accommodations. It is important to note that all inquires will be held in the strictest of confidence. For additional information, please contact the coordinator's office at (585) 395-5409.

The State University of New York's 64 geographically dispersed campuses bring educational opportunity within commuting distance of virtually all New Yorkers and comprise the nation's largest comprehensive system of public higher education.
When founded in 1948, the University consolidated 29 state-operated, but unaffiliated, institutions whose varied histories of service dated as far back as 1816. It has grown to a point where its impact is felt educationally, culturally and economically statewide.
As a comprehensive public university, State University of New York provides a meaningful educational experience to the broadest spectrum of individuals. More than 413,000 students are pursuing traditional study in classrooms and laboratories or are working at home, at their own pace, through such innovative institutions as the SUNY Learning Network and Empire State College.
Of the total enrollment, approximately 36.6 percent of the students are 25 years of age or older, reflecting State University's services to specific constituencies, such as training courses for business and industry, continuing educational opportunities for the professional community, and personal enrichment for more mature persons.
The State University's students are predominantly New York state residents. Representing every one of the state's 62 counties, they make up more than 96 percent of the University's undergraduate student population. State University of New York students also come from every other state in the United States, from four US territories or possessions, and from more than 171 foreign countries. The State University enrolls 40 percent of all New York state high school graduates, and its total enrollment of more than 413,000 (full-time and part-time) is approximately 37 percent of the state's entire higher education student population. Between 1976 and 1997, the University recorded a 167 percent increase in the enrollment of African, Asian, Hispanic and Native Americans, compared with a 63 percent average increase among colleges and universities across the state. In fall 2004, 18.9 percent of all students were minorities.
Because of its structure and comprehensive programs, the State University offers students a wide diversity of educational options: short-term vocational/technical courses, certificate programs, baccalaureate degrees, graduate degrees and post-doctoral studies. The University offers access to almost every field of academic or professional study somewhere within the system-some 6,688 programs of study overall.
Curricula range from those in the more conventional career fields, such as business, engineering, medicine, teaching, performing arts, social work, finance and forestry, to those concerned with tomorrow's developing and societal needs in the areas of environmental science, urban studies, immunology, information systems, biotechnology, telecommunications, microbiology and health services management.
As part of the University's commitment to bring to the students of New York the very best and brightest scholars, scientists, artists and professionals, the State University's distinguished faculty is recruited from the finest graduate schools and universities throughout the United States and many countries around the world. Their efforts are regularly recognized in numerous prestigious awards and honors, including the Nobel Prize.
The State University's research contributions are helping to solve some of today's most urgent problems. At the same time, contracts and grants received by University faculty directly benefit the economic development of the regions in which they are located. State University researchers pioneered nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and the supermarket bar code scanner, isolated the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, developed the first implantable heart pacemaker and the drug ReoPro(r), recommended for heart patients, and developed Avonex(r), an interferon treatment for multiple sclerosis.
The University's program for the educationally and economically disadvantaged, consisting of Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) and Educational Opportunity Centers (EOC), has become a model for delivering better learning opportunities to young people and adults traditionally bypassed by higher education. Over the past 30 years, almost 482,000 New York state residents have been served.
The 30 locally-sponsored two-year community colleges operating under the program of the State University offer local citizens programs that are directly and immediately job-related as well as degree programs that serve as job-entry educational experience or a transfer opportunity to a baccalaureate degree at a senior campus.
In 1998, the Governor and the Legislature approved a multi-year, $2 billion capital construction program for the University. This investment in critical maintenance will protect the University's infrastructure, valued at nearly $11 billion, and enable the University to keep pace with modern technology for the benefit of its students and faculty.
The State University's involvement in the health sciences and health care is extensive and responsive to the rapid changes in society and the growing needs identified by the state's public health community. Hundreds of thousands of New York's citizens are served each year by medical and health sciences faculty and students in University hospitals and clinics or affiliated hospitals.
The University's economic development services programs provide research, training and technical assistance to the state's business and industrial community through Business and Industry Centers, the New York State Small Business Development Center, the Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence, Rural Services Institutes, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Center, Technical Assistance Centers, Small Business Institutes, Centers for Advanced Technology, and international development.
State University libraries, the major resource which supports the teaching and research activities of its students and faculty, are an important community resource too. Nearly six million items circulated by campus libraries in fiscal year 1995-96, another three million items were used in-house and almost a quarter million items were made available to the wider community through interlibrary loan. Increasingly, the circulation methods reflected in these traditional statistics are supplemented by electronic and Internet access. Annual attendance at the University's libraries is more than 21 million students, faculty and public citizens. More than 20 million volumes and government documents are available, as well as nearly 14 thousand CD-ROMS and other computer files. More than two million reference questions were answered, many consisting of requests for help with CD-ROM and on-line database searches.
The University passed a major milestone in the mid-1980s when it graduated its one-millionth alumnus, and currently numbers 2.4 million graduates on its rolls. The majority of the University's alumni reside and pursue careers in communities across New York state, contributing to the economic and social vitality of its people.
The State University of New York is governed by a Board of Trustees, appointed by the Governor, which directly determines the policies to be followed by the 34 state-supported campuses. Community colleges have their own local boards of trustees whose relationship to the State University Board is defined by law.
The University's motto is: "To Learn -To Search -To Serve."
Alma Mater
Alma Mater, thy children rise
To thy shrine deserved praise.
Hope and courage thou dost impart
To each loyal student heart.
Friendly flowers and stately trees
Lend new perfume to the breeze.
Dear old campus, lofty halls,
Alma Mater, we love thy walls.
When the fleeting years divide
Us from thee, our gentle guide;
Still our thoughts with thee shall rest,
Alma Mater, Dearest, Best.
Lyrics by a member of the Class of 1916.

Ever since we first heard about catching viruses in hospitals, we've become more aware of our surroundings, ensuring cleanliness is kept high up the priority list. As more and more mobile devices are used in hospitals, they bring a new challenge to keeping the ward or laboratory clean. A barcode scanner for instance can be moved room to room as it is used and a mobile computer could easily carry germs, harbouring them in all of its little cracks and crevices! This means ensuring all equipment used on the wards are cleaned regularly, which in turn creates its own problems of wear and tear.
Honeywell has addressed this concern by producing a disinfectant ready housing for three of its main products. The 4600g, the 4820 and the Dolphin 9900 all now come with this option, termed under the "HC" series.
The casing of these products is a little different to the standard rugged cases. Marked out by its light cream colour the HC case is designed to withstand harsh cleaning products used regularly on everyday devices used on the wards. Standard casings are unable to withstand certain chemical cleaning products for long and are susceptible to cracking after repeated exposure that can bring along more issues such corrosion of electronic circuitry and potential electrical fires resulting from this cracking of casings. HC cases on the other hand are made from a different material that helps to prevent bacteria from hiding in the first place and one which is extremely resilient to the daily cleaning they will encounter in a hospital.
Before this casing was developed, healthcare professionals tended to put data collection devices in plastic bags in order to keep them clean and reduce the risk of spreading infection. This not only affected the scanning performance of the device but also brought obvious workflow difficulties with it reducing the working efficiency of staff working on the wards.
This is a great step forward for Honeywell, with healthcare being a large and continued heavy adopter of data capture and the HC casing technology provides a "healthcare ruggedness" to already great devices.

Stracciatella soup is a simple Italian soup that involves adding a mixture of eggs, grated cheese, parsley and basil to a hot, swirling chicken broth, then stirring in spinach, salt and pepper. A recipe for stracciatella soup by Giada de Laurentiis is available on the Food Network website.
A simple recipe for Italian vegetable soup by Giada de Laurentiis is also available elsewhere on the website. To make this soup, the cook sautés leeks, garlic, zucchini and artichokes with olive oil in a large pot to soften them. She adds salt, pepper, vegetable broth and fresh thyme leaves, then simmers the soup for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cook adds wide egg noodles and cooks them until they are tender but still firm to the bite. Finally, she serves the soup with grated Parmesan cheese.
Cooks should also consider the easy minestrone soup recipe on MyRecipes.com, which simplifies this classic Italian dish by using convenient ingredients such as canned tomatoes and canned beans, and allowing for the use of store-bought chicken broth and Italian herb and spice seasoning mix. Additionally, the cooking process requires only minimal supervision due to the use of a slow cooker. To make this soup, the cook fills the slow cooker with vegetables, broth, tomatoes and seasoning. She adds pasta, escarole and beans for the final 30 minutes of cooking, then serves the soup with grated Parmesan cheese.

The New York Islanders are Overachieving in 2018-2019
The New York Islanders are overachieving in the 2018-2019 season. Why's this the case?
he first time I ever ran a marathon, I thought that was it. I was done. Forever. I had gone as far as you could go. No need to run ever again. I had accomplished the epitome of running. 26.2 miles. Done.
Or so I thought…
Quickly afterwards, I learned about ultra marathons. No way. No how. Too far.
I put it out of my head, but the thought wouldn't go away. Sure enough, a little more than a year later I found myself signing up for my first ultra marathon thinking, "what is wrong with me?"
It turned out to be one of the hardest things I've ever done, but it was also well worth it. If you've had the idea of an ultra rattling around in your brain for a while, here's why you should finally pull the trigger and do it.
In a marathon, you just want to finish 26.2 miles. That's it.
In an ultra, 26.2 is just the start. 26.2 is when the race begins. That's what makes an ultra. Everything before that is just the warmup.
Do you remember your first marathon?
The first time I did mine, I wasn't quite sure I would be able to cross that finish line and when I did, it was a mix of relief, disbelief, happiness and a strong desire to amputate my legs.
Running an ultra is like re-experiencing your first marathon all over again. You're breaking through a whole new barrier – one that seems impossible – except this time with more miles and maybe a little more pain.
The ultra crowd isn't really anything you would expect. Sure, there are the pros who zip along like nothing even affects them, but the vast majority are a hodgepodge of crazy people who relish getting up at 5am on a saturday to run a relatively unmarked route that you wouldn't see unless you were looking out for it.
Unlike marathons, most ultras aren't big events and even when they are, they're so spread out that there's not too much of a crowd. So you don't get the benefit of the crowd to pull you through when the running gets rough.
Sometimes that sucks. You'll find yourself spread out, with the closest runners 100 meters ahead or behind you. No pace groups. No markers. No big cheering crowds.
That can suck, but it's also a cool opportunity. You begin to realize all over again that it comes down to you. It's all in your head. How bad do you want it?
You get to ask yourself, "will you keep running even if no one is watching?
Most people think you're absolutely crazy to even consider running an ultra. That in and of itself is a good reason to do one.
Accomplish something that most people (even experienced runners) are too scared to even consider.
Ever think about doing an ultra? You're probably out of your mind – but you might be onto something.
Do it.

Miller sues store chain, clothing maker over knockoff T-shirts
Miller filed the suit in federal court, stating Seattle-based department story chain infringed on Miller's trademarks by selling the shirts. The suit also names Brandlab, Inc., a Los Angeles clothing maker. "Mullet" is a term for a haircut that is short in the front and on top and long in the back.
Miller has sold beer under the "Miller High Life" brand for more than a century. Miller claims that the T-shirt designs are "nearly identical" to Miller's trademarks.
The suit asks that the shirts no longer be sold. It also requests unspecified damages.

TBILISI, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Georgia's central bank head said on Monday he did not rule out monetary policy tightening, if there is a risk of higher inflation.
"The central bank is ready to take measures, including monetary policy tightening, if the exchange rate fluctuations pose an upward risk to inflation," Koba Gvenetadze told reporters. (Reporting by Margarita Antidze; editing by Vladimir Soldatkin)

You bring up good points. Unless a court actually has made a decision about
this, all we have to go on is the text you quoted. Some will understand
this as not requiring searching OP dealers, as their material is primarily
used. Others might not. Some would understand "fair price" as having to do
with the original price of sale (or one adjusted for inflation), while
others would look to market value (which might be hard to really determine
if there are just a couple copies available -- the asking price may not be
market, as they might never sell at that price). Once again, people would
interpret the text differently.
Attempting to creating guidelines around this could allow us, as a group to
work through some of these differences of opinion. Were we to do that, we
might actually use this exemption on occasion, ultimately giving our
customers fuller access to rare works while not impacting negatively on the
rights of the copyright holder.
My sense is that because the law says nothing about where one would get the
copy from which to make a replacement copy, no restrictions are being put on
that (other than, perhaps, that the copy has to be a legal copy to begin

"Time is a path we walk all but blind, glimpsing only the ground at our feet. Looking back, we see shadowy traces of what has passed. Looking forward, there is naught but mist. The Harrow sheds light on the path of time. Its cards are stepping stones, which we walk up and down upon to see what has been, what is, and what might be. These sights can weigh on a harrower's soul, but they also grant great opportunities to change not only what might be, but what has been, and everything in between."
—Madame Niska Mvashti, Sandpoint Harrower
GM for Curse of the Crimson Throne
Though the campaign will be mostly based off Pathfinder's Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, I have made some tweaks and changes to the plot and the world in order to (a) make the game flow more smoothly, and (b) personalize each character's adventure individually within the overarching quest of the whole group. I have added in some special side quests to reveal behind-the-scenes information to the PCs in tiny puzzle pieces, rather than have the "big reveal" come at the end of the Adventure Path. All in all, I just hope you enjoy playing the game as much as I've enjoyed preparing it for you.

When 20-year-old police recruit Kiera Hudson is posted to the remote town of The Ragged Cove, her life is changed forever. Investigating a series of horrific murders, grave desecrations, and missing persons, Kiera uses her unique ability of seeing, and soon realizes her own life is in danger. When Kiera falls for police officer Luke Bishop, not only are her mind and heart opened to a terrifyingly new world, she comes to suspect that Luke might be involved in the killings. In a race against time to unearth the truth, Kiera must discover the identity of who – or what – is behind the gruesome deaths on her Vampire Shift.
I love the cover of this book. I love that in this book, vampires are what they should be, blood sucking monsters. I love the scenes in which O'Rourke forgets that he is writing and manages to deliver a gripping sequence that the reader becomes lost in. Those are the things that I love, now to the things I did not.
1: I think that in most cases a man writing a woman lead is carried out in a believable way, in this case it was not.
"It ain't right," she said, pouring me a mug of coffee.
"What isn't?" I asked.
"A pretty girl like you being a cop 'an all."
"How's that?" I asked, kind of flattered by her remark.
WTF – Now this comes after the MC is also looking all bruised and cut up so for one, how would she be looking 'pretty' right now, but most importantly why the hell should she be flattered by that remark? It continues this way throughout the book, in one instance stating that if a woman had been in the car recently she would have cleaned the smudge on the passenger mirror so that she could check her makeup.
2: The MC sees things others do not, not a superpower but rather a keen observer, great, we get it, but that does not mean we need you to describe everything she sees and does in finite detail. 1/5 of this book could have been cut simply by removing over explanations of her surroundings.
3: Her mothers disappearance is mentioned 40% in and is the reason behind her joining the force, this should have been mentioned earlier.
4: Why on earth would a police force keep sending officers to a station where the officers keep disappearing? Seriously….WHY? If the reason for her being there isn't believable how can you expect us to believe the rest of what we are reading?
5: This book desperately needed a BETA reader, someone to point out when things do not make sense, when questions are raised but not answered, when the words you are writing read like a laundry list.
I did not hate the book, I skimmed over the over explanations, and forced my way through the offensive depiction of the female lead and at the end I can say I finished a not great but not terrible book about vampires. This one I would love to see rereleased after a thorough rewrite and a professional edit.

Adventures and Outings: Naomi in South Africa & Namibia
We're wrapping up Adventures and Outings! Thank you to all the parents who sent in photos of their children on the go and for sharing so many fantastic travel tips! We hope your little ones enjoy their AT bibs!
Ruben and Mutaleni used a trip to Africa as an opportunity to reconnect three months after their daughter Naomi's birth. The family spent a week in Cape Town, South Africa and then took a 21 hour (!) bus ride to Windhoek, Namibia to visit Mutaleni's family.
The ride was fine - seeing that Naomi is a relaxed baby and still has very simple needs. My family was delighted to meet her! My parents took her to my father's village in northern Namibia (a 7 hour car ride) where an aunt performed a welcoming ceremony and presented us all with traditional clothes.
We enjoyed the trip and both agree that it was made easier by a few factors:
chair in restaurants).
cars and using a long distance bus company (thereby saving on
expensive car rentals and short distance flights in Africa).
historic relevance or going to the cinema (she slept a lot and can't
yet move about!).
It was a fantastic trip!

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Why do my fingertips and feet itch so bad?"
I am a 10 yr cancer survivor (lymphoma), and I am over weight.
There are many things that can cause itching, some of which are simple and have very rapid treatments, others of which can indicate a serious medical problem. Given that there is such wide variation, it is important to know more about you. For example, if this is a very new problem and you have had some recent change in your diet or other habits, it could indicate something as simple as an allergy. Given that this seems to be most prominent in your distal extremities, however, I would be worried that this could be something more. Without knowing more about you, I would be concerned that you could be suffering from some type of peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy is the medical term doctors use to describe nerve injury or death. When nerves are damaged, the brain interprets the signals in many different ways, one of which is itching. The fact that you have survived lymphoma in the remote past indicates that you likely underwent some sort of chemotherapy treatment. Most of these are harmful to the nerves of your body, and the distal nerves can be the first to feel the side effects. Please speak to your doctor about your symptoms.

The Goal Is Five Rings
Ben Roethlisberger is only 27. He already has two Super Bowl rings and a $100 million contract with the most storied franchise in football. How much longer does he want to stick around? Until he's the best ever
He didn't grow up in Pittsburgh, but he looks like he did, and he acts like he did, and if there is anything Steelers fans want in their Steelers, it's authenticity. A touch of home. A pierogi kinda guy who just crawled out of J&L Steel after the night shift and needs a shot and an Iron to start his morning right. None of which is even remotely true about Ben Roethlisberger, nor does that sort of guy even exist in Pittsburgh anymore—steel is dead, and the mills are shopping malls. But that's how it was in the '70s, when the Steelers ruled the world and the fan base got solidified as a foundation for generations to come. So, Roethlisberger! A big lug of a guy with a cinder-block head who almost certainly can't dance except—holy shit!—outside the pocket. A quiet, polite, unsexy guy you can't stop naming sandwiches after. Beef, sausage, scrambled eggs, and American cheese on the North Side. Beef, bacon, barbecue sauce, ranch, Cheddar, and provolone over on Route 51. Roethlisberger fits in Pittsburgh because he does not and probably never will look like a man who makes $12 million a year. He shows up on the Internet drinking tequila in somebody's basement. He makes headlines for almost dying in a motorcycle accident and for some alleged scandalous acts in a hotel room in Lake Tahoe. Anybody really know him? Not really. Pittsburgh is an old lady who hopes her precious, awkward little boy will do the right thing. He's such a young pup. He's a machine. He performs! He wins.
Can we talk about the Super Bowl for a second?
Okay, Santonio Holmes making that catch. You know the one I mean?
Uh, yeah.
You threw it deep into the end zone. And high. And he had three guys on him. And he somehow grabbed it and somehow got both feet down. How did you do that?
Well, it's kind of part of the job, you know?
You weren't freaking out? You weren't thinking, This is the Super Bowl and there's less than a minute left and if I don't ecute this perfectly we're losers and, shit, I think I just want to go home now?
No. I'm thinking I want to win.
Do you practice, like, mind-control ercises or something?
Not that I'm aware of. I think if you look at any of the quarterbacks in the past or the guys playing the position now, they're all kind of, I don't know, kind of quote-unquote special in some sort of way.
Santonio Holmes was so good in that game. Superhuman.
Yeah, even more than that last play. That whole drive. I told him he has potential, if he's not already, to be one of the best receivers in the game. It's going to give him confidence and more of a swagger than he already has, which would be good for him.
Who would you rather throw to, Holmes or Larry Fitzgerald?
Fitzgerald might be one of the best players in the game. But I love throwing to Tone. I wouldn't trade him for anybody.
Which Super Bowl felt better?
This second one was sweet because I felt like I was a part of the win. The first one, I felt like I almost hurt us and didn't do anything to help win it. This one… I mean, growing up, any kid who wants to be a quarterback dreams of throwing the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.
So what happens when you're 27 and you've already won the big one—twice? What's left? You've kind of done it all.
I haven't done it all. I want to win more than anyone else has ever won. The most a quarterback's had is four, so my goal is five.
Do you think about how you want to go out? Like, we watch Brett Favre now and think it's…time.
It's an individual thing. Only that person knows when it's time to go, you know? That's what it comes down to. But I feel great. I feel healthy, and I think the Lord has blessed me, and as long as I can physically play, I'm gonna play.
You've been banged around a lot. Any effects from all those concussions?
Not that I know of.
You don't notice any difference in the way you think or anything?
No, not at all.
Does it make you nervous when you read about all these struggling retired guys who had a lot of concussions? Some of them were Steelers—Mike Webster and Justin Strzelczyk and all those guys who had tragic endings that have been linked to concussions. Does that stuff make you nervous?
You can't afford to think about it. I think the technology and the equipment we have hopefully will help with all that stuff.
Please tell me you're wearing your helmet when you ride your motorcycle these days.
I'm sorry?
Are you wearing your helmet when you ride your motorcycle?
I'm not talking about motorcycles. I'm letting that go.
Let's talk respect. Do you ever feel like the rest of the world doesn't give the Steelers enough respect?
I don't think it's that they don't respect us. I think they respect us so much that they hate us, so it seems like they don't respect us, if that makes sense.
How is it playing for Tomlin versus Cowher?
Tomlin's younger. He's one of the guys. He's jumping and yelling and high-fiving and chest-bumping—really into it. I think that's the biggest difference. He's more a big brother than your dad.
Do you ever feel like it's time for people to stop talking Peyton Manning and Tom Brady and start talking Ben Roethlisberger?
Maybe I don't get the credit I deserve, but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes you wish. When they say I'm the seventh- or fifth-best quarterback in the league, that bothers me, but if they say I'm the third-best? I'll take that. Those two are pretty darn good quarterbacks. They're the best in the game.
The fans in Pittsburgh think you're sort of unknowable. You don't have a signature—the giant grin of Hines Ward or the Zen-master vibe of Troy Polamalu. You're quiet and removed. Are you trying to be aloof?
It's just my nature. I'm kind of a reserved person. Some people take that as me being too cocky, like I think I'm too good. No, that's just me being a quiet person. Once you get to know me, you realize I'm still the goofball big kid.
Are you shy?
No, I'm not shy. I've tried to stay out of the limelight. I'm not trying to draw attention to myself, because that's not who I am. I think that's why I stay in Pittsburgh. Because Pittsburgh fans respect that. The blue-collar thing. Like I'm not trying to be in movies. To me what's important is winning. Playing football. Winning championships. Winning.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Sept. 2
By Umid Niayesh - Trend:
A spokesman with Iran's interior ministry has dismissed reports which claim Abdul Rauf Rigi, leader of Baluch Jaish al-Nasr group was killed by Iran.
Hossein Ali Amiri, the spokesman of the interior ministry said that Rigi was killed as a result of rebel Baluchi groups' internal conflict, Iran's Mehr news agency reported Sept. 2.
Iran's Baluchi group, Jaish al-Adl who is accused of killing Rigi claimed that Rigi was killed by the Islamic Republic in a statement published on its Facebook page.
Jaish al-Adl also said that the persons who were involved in killing Rigi were detained by the group.
Iranian media outlets reported on Aug. 29 that Rigi, whose brother Abdolmalek was hanged by the Islamic Republic, was killed in Pakistan.
Abdul Rauf and his nephew Abu Bakr Rigi were killed in an attack by the Jaish al-Adl group in the city of Dalbandin, Iran's official IRNA news agency reported.
Jaish al-Adl group kidnapped five Iranian border guards on Feb. 6 in the country's south eastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan.
On March 23, the group tweeted that it had hanged Jamshid Danayeefar, one of the five kidnapped guards. The other guards were released later on April 4.
Jaish al-Nasr group was founded by Rigi after differences over the hanging of Danayeefar, according to Al Arabiya. However Iranian media outlets claim that controlling financial resource was behind the internal differences in Jaish al-Adl, which led to founding the new Jaish al-Nasr group.
Both Iran and Pakistan have declared Jaish al-Adl a terrorist group. The group's former leader, Abdolmalek Rigi was captured by Iranian security forces and executed in 2010 on charges of "armed robbery, assassination attempts, armed attacks on the army and police and on ordinary people, and murder."

The Internet Alphabet
Internet Alphabet...
The Internet Alphabet
Finding a Whole New Alphabet Based on Popular Search Priority on Internet Search Engines.
What do the letters of the Alphabet stand for on the Internet?
Find out by typing in each letter of the alphabet and seeing the search results on Yahoo search or Google. Here is what I found. Your results could differ . I relied mostly on Google Search suggestions but in some cases there were two or more nearly equal terms that could have been substituted. Here is a new Alphabetical order of terms as I found them as a handy way to remember what each letter really represents:
A is for Amazon. B is for Best Buy. C is for Craigslist. D is for Dictionary. E is for Ebay. F is for Facebook. G is for Google. H is for Hotmail. I is for Ikea. J is for J.C, Penney. K is for Kellogg company. L is for Lowes. M is for Mapquest. N is for Netflix. O is for Oprah. P is for Pandora. Q is for Quotes. R is for Redbox. S is for SW Airlines. T is for Twitter. U is for United Airlines. V is for Verizon Wireless. W is for Walmart. X is for Xbox. Y is for Youtube and Z is for Zillow.
These are not all of the one letter wonders of the Internet. There are also the numerals:
1 is for Google 1. 2 is for 24 hour fitness. 3 is for 360 area code. 4 is for 411. 5 is for 50 shades of gray. 6 is for 60 minutes. 7 is for 750 the game. 8 is for 8 tracks. 9 is for 9gog. 10 is for 100 floors.
There is competition for alternative terms left off the list are C for Costco and K for Kellogg does not seem to be as much of a google selection as other terms are. K might really still be up for grabs? No wonder Yahoo is going no where...it does not even show up in the search results.

UK needs 'serious, genuine' Syrian action on weapons
LONDON (AFP) – Britain on Tuesday gave a cautious welcome to a Russian proposal to prevent military strikes against the Syrian regime by destroying its chemical weapons but said Damascus must make a "serious and genuine" offer to eradicate its stocks.
Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman said it was now up to Russia and Syria to show the proposal was more than merely "distraction tactics".
"The onus is now very much on the Russian government and the Assad regime to follow up in a way that shows that this initiative is a serious and genuine offer," the spokesman told reporters.
"If it is a serious and genuine offer then we would encourage it. I underline 'if'."
He added: "If there is a genuine offer to eradicate chemical weapons, then that is something that would be a big step forward."
Asked whether Britain was in favour of a deadline for Assad to hand over his chemical weapons, the spokesman said: "This can't be in any way a kind of endless process. Demonstrating that (it is not an endless process) is very much part of how we establish whether or not this is a serious and genuine offer.
"We must be very vigilant about the risk of distraction tactics."
The proposal, presented after a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem on Monday, urges Damascus to "place chemical weapons under international control and then to have them destroyed".
Russia hopes Syria can avert threatened military strikes by the United States as retribution for a chemical attack outside Damascus on August 21 which the West believes was carried out by the regime.
Speaking in South Africa, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said London would back any "credible" UN Security Council resolution on Syria's chemical weapons, but it must contain the threat of force.
Hague will talk with his French counterpart Laurent Fabius about the resolution, which is expected to be submitted by France later Tuesday.
"It certainly would need to be a chapter seven resolution to have any meaning and credibility on this subject," Hague said in Cape Town, referring to rules authorising the Security Council to enforce a resolution with military action if necessary.
The resolution would demand full disclosure by the Assad regime of the scale of its chemical weapons, and that the arsenal be placed immediately under international control and then dismantled.
"Time is short of course to try to ensure that there is something here that is credible and I agree with my colleagues in France that we need a strong and united response from the Security Council if we are to make progress on this," said Hague.
He said the world should remember "that it was only yesterday that Assad was denying the very existence of chemical weapons stocks" and that the Assad regime "has consistently failed to match its promises with actions".

Beware of Bird
In case you cannot read it: "Attention all employees: We have received calls from several employees stating that they have been accosted by a bird outside of the front entrance. These birds aggressively defend their territory, even against much larger birds. Please be attentive to your surroundings when using the front path to cross Joppa Road. Perhaps it would be in your best interest to cross over to the Glory Days side of the road or to use your car to access any of the eateries close by. Thanks for your cooperation."
I have walked this path many times in the last few weeks and have never seen this apparent menace, and I decided I was not going to be bullied by a bird. However, this sign had similar affects as "Terror Levels" or airport security notices, and I nearly flipped out when a finch landed nearby: Despite his bad-ass mohawk, bitchin' tattoo, and bling, I passed by unharmed.

My dear sister, I warn you as well. I have been harassed by a bird in my own neighborhood. I may have told you about it. (Although you probably dismissed it as a another over reaction). The bird swept down from the wires up above and flew directly at my head. I had to duck to avoid being hit. Then the bird came back a second time. After that I have to sadly admit that I declared him the winner and no longer went that same way...That was about 4 months ago. I have decided the area is safe once again...but I still look up as I walk. So in closing I say to you...BEWARE. Don't let their feathers fool you. Anyone who say that very scary movie, "The Birds" knows that it's really the beaks that we need to fear. Oh and be sure that it you do go that way you wear sunglasses so your eyes don't get pecked out.

Using LED Lighting In Your Restaurant
Restaurant lighting has evolved gradually in keeping with the times. First there were low powered filament lamps to set the mood followed by the fluorescent tubes. When establishments started looking at lowering electricity bills to gain in profitability, they switched to CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Lamps). However, optimising restaurant lighting is never easy – too harsh and bright and it looks […]» Read more
