WASHINGTON — The U.S. Treasury is closing in on a final design for a set of three coins to be minted next year honoring the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service.
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Treasury is closing in on a final design for a set of three coins to be minted next year honoring the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshals Service.
The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee met last week to discuss the 47 designs for the coins that the U.S. Mint put forward as possibilities for the gold $5, silver dollar and copper-nickel clad half dollar coins.
The panel settled on six designs for the fronts and backs of the coins that it is recommending as the best choices to meet the criteria established by the 2012 law Congress enacted to mint the commemorative coins.
"It is truly a group collaborative and thoughtful process that doesn't take place spontaneously," said committee member Erik Jansen of Mercer Island, Wash., a life-long coin collector.
The 11-member appointed committee includes artists, historians and coin enthusiasts that are called upon to recommend designs to U.S. Treasurer Jack Lew.
The U.S. Fine Arts Commission will consider the recommendations made by the CCAC at its monthly meeting on Thursday, before a final recommendation is made to Lew, said Michael White, a spokesman for the U.S. Mint.
Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers, authored the legislation to mint the commemorative coins to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the U.S. Marshal's Service. The first $5 million raised by surcharges for the coins would go to the U.S. Marshals Museum that is being constructed in Fort Smith.
"I am pleased at progress that has been made on the U.S. Marshal Museum coin," Womack said. "I look forward to seeing the finished product."
The committee recommendations for the U.S. Marshals commemorative coins are:
$5 Gold, front — An image of the U.S. Marshals Service Star with a western-style backdrop and the inscription "225 Years of Sacrifice."
$5 Gold, back — An eagle holding a flag. Protecting the eagle's chest is a U.S. Marshal shield.
$1 Silver, front — An image of the U.S. Marshals Service Star with silhouettes of Old West U.S. Marshals on horseback.
$1 Silver, back — A U.S. Marshal wearing an old western duster coat, holding a "Wanted" poster on his left hand and gripping his gun belt with his right.
Half dollar Copper-clad, front — A present day U.S. Marshal with an Old West Marshal in the background.
Half dollar Copper-clad, back — A copy of the U.S. Constitution with a U.S. Marshals badge propped against it, along with other images paying homage to the U.S. Marshals Service's roles in the historic 1794 Whiskey Rebellion, 1894 Pullman Strike and 1960 New Orleans school integration.
The advisory panel changed one element of the U.S. Mint design for the back of the half dollar — removing an image of a set of open handcuffs on the U.S. Constitution that the artist originally proposed.
Jansen said the committee felt that handcuffs placed on top of the U.S. Constitution could be viewed as inappropriate for the commemorative coin.

Like Dr. Seuss, who never disappointed, Van Dusen comes up with a story that's fun to read and a cleaver solution. Got me thinking to the end how he is going to get Dee and Magee out of this jam.
A favorite author in our house. Seems all his stories are a lot of fun. Great artwork too.

Dr. Carson writes of Dr. Megan Best's new book, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made: Ethics and the Beginning of Human Life (Matthias Media, 2012): "At last—a single volume examining beginning-of-life issues that is equally competent in biology, theology, philosophy, and pastoral care. This is now the 'must read' book in the field, a necessary resource not only for pastors, ethicists, and laypersons who share her Christian convictions, but also for anyone who wants to participate knowledgeably in current bioethical debates."
Here is the publisher's description of the book:
- What sort of contraception, if any, should I use?
- When does human life begin—at fertilization or at some point after that?
- What are the arguments for and against abortion?
- Is it OK to use genetic screening and other pre-natal tests to check for abnormalities in my unborn baby?
- Should Christians use IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies?
- What is the current state of embryonic stem cell research?
- We don't have accurate up-to-date information about the medical and technological issues involved
- We have not thought through a sound, biblical framework for making ethical decisions in this area

More on Patient Centered Care & Homes
Patient centered. To the average health care consumer, the notion that they themselves are the main focus of the care received is a no-brainer. However, the reality that exists in health care today is quite the opposite. More often, interacting with the current health care system is often a deeply dissatisfying and frightening experience, fraught with errors, miscommunication and waste. As a community-based nurse practitioner for 10 years, I practice within the fragmented confines of an inefficient and costly system and know how this current system is too often harming people. Fundamental reform is needed. According to the Institute of Medicine, care is often delivered in silos producing poorly coordinated and overly complex care. The current healthcare system is fraught with opacity and is unnavigable for most of us. For example, oftentimes patients don't know how much a procedure or office visit will cost.
I imagine a near Utopian health care system where a patient can complete registration forms just once, have their complete health record accessed from virtually any Internet connection, communicate with their providers at their convenience and have their care coordinated by a team of professionals whose main objective is to improve health outcomes, decrease costs and deliver patient-centric, evidence- based health care. Such a system is currently undergoing pilot studies known as the Medical Homes Demonstration Project.
The time and cost savings potential of these Homes are virtually limitless. Technology will play a major role within the Homes, allowing for health systems to engage in rapid learning, so common in other industries. For example, imagine visiting your health care home, and then reviewing your laboratory results online the next day while your health care provider explains the meaning of the results by phone or by instant message. Text message alerts can be used to remind you when it is time to take your medications or get a colonoscopy. More importantly, practices will be better able to track the outcomes of care they are providing and consumers will be easily able to compare health care homes for quality.
Patients who are members of a patient centered home will take far more responsibility for the direction of their care. Gone will be the days of asking for the latest and most expensive and largely unproven medication because of their fancy commercials. Patients will have the opportunity to hear and evaluate the evidence for their condition and will make informed decisions, just as when you go to an accountant or lawyer, who provide options and a cost-benefit analysis.
Continuity of care will also be a hallmark of the Home. Your team of providers will know you and your medical history. Visits to specialists, dentists, and other health care professionals will be coordinated and integrated into a single repository of your health data. Along with the team, you will make the important health decisions.
The Medical Homes Demonstration Project is an exciting model of team-based, coordinated, high-quality and cost-efficient care. While the initiatives in the model aren't new, the collective sum is unlike anything we have today. We a model that is patient-centered and where the exchange of data is efficient, coordinated and examined so the optimal care is delivered for that individual, time and place. We also need to ensure that the foundations of the homes are sound. That is, the physicians and nurse practitioners guiding the care must be available to care for the many patients who will utilize this model. Finally, for true health reform all the stakeholders – patients, clinicians, lawmakers and insurers must be willing to work together. Every American should have a such a home.

Although the country's economy has enjoyed a slight improvement in recent months, concerns still exist that this boost is insufficiently broad-based and may not be able to offer a stable platform for jobs and growth.
Among the suggestions from the CBI was the possibility of freezing the current rate of carbon tax to ensure the UK remains an attractive destination for businesses across the globe.
Furthermore, the organisation called on the government to introduce an energy package which encourages investment in generation and makes life easier for businesses currently struggling with the cost of heating and electricity.
Incentivising longer-term equity investment through tax relief for retail investors, introducing an infrastructure capital allowance to stimulate building and freezing air passenger duties were also suggested by the CBI, which is the largest confederation of employers in the UK.
Director-general John Cridland said the economic recovery can really take hold if the government makes the right moves and allows growth to continue.
"There are encouraging signs that business investment and net trade are on the up and now is the perfect time for the government to get full square behind it, particularly in the case of smaller firms.
"Above all, British businesses must have secure and affordable energy that enables them to compete internationally and keep jobs in the UK," declared Mr Cridland.
He called for additional support for small and medium-sized firms, which are often cited as a potential driver of growth; according to the CBI, putting more investment schemes in place will make it easier for businesses of this kind to access funding.
Nurturing the UK's burgeoning alternative finance market could also play a role in any future economic recovery, concluded the CBI chief.

When you get the opportunity to 'get away' for a few days – do you take it?
You would assume that most of us would reply with a resounding "YES!"
Well, unfortunately there are sometimes that you have to say "No".
Every year, my husband heads up to Northern Arizona for a conference. And each time, he invites me to go with him.
Now, it isn't that I didn't want to go – but life has a habit of getting in the way of "getting away from it all".
But not this year! I was determined to go. So last week, we headed up to Payson, which is a small mountain town just 1 1/2 hours away.

Top>Opinion>Bullying and Crime
Osamu Magata [profile]
Osamu Magata
Professor, Faculty of Law, Chuo University
Area of Specialization: Criminal law
Recently, some forms of bullying have finally been clearly identified as crimes in Japan. So, which forms of bullying correspond to which forms of criminal behavior? I will answer that question here with 20 examples of bullying.
Bullying is not something that happens all of a sudden. It often involves behaviors such as 1) intentionally bumping into someone while walking past him or her, 2) strongly patting someone's shoulder under the pretense of greeting him or her, and 3) making fun of someone in front of everyone else, in order to determine if the victim is an easy target.
Behaviors 1) and 2) fall under criminal assault, and the bully can be charged with inflicting bodily injury if the victim is injured, including cases in which the skin becomes red and swollen. Behavior 3) may also fall under defamation.
One common form of bullying is 4) pulling fighting moves on the victim while claiming it's a friendly game of pro wrestling. The victim is reluctant to play along, but may face other attacks if he or she refuses. Fighting on unequal terms is a classic form of bullying and falls under assault. If the victim is injured, the bully can be charged with inflicting bodily injury.
Bullying behaviors like 5) pulling or 6) cutting someone's hair also fall under assault. If the victim is injured in the process, the bullying falls under bodily injury. 7) The act of throwing an object like a bag or a pen at a person is also considered as an assault even if 8) the object is just thrown close to the person's body. In this case, it does not matter if the object actually hits the person or not. Simply threatening someone's physical safety through the use of physical force constitutes assault.
There is actually a form of bullying in which the bully 9) forces the reluctant victim to put a foreign object like an insect in his or her mouth. This falls under coercion. If it results in the deterioration of the victim's health, the bully can also be charged with assault.
10) Making hurtful, insulting remarks like "You're so annoying!" or "Gross!" or "Die!" in a situation where the insults are heard by many people constitutes defamation. If hearing the insults causes the victim to become mentally ill, the bullying is considered accidental infliction of injury—even if the bully did not intend for this to happen. Recently, there has been a rise in incidents in which insults, derogatory remarks, and baseless rumors are posted on websites. These behaviors also constitute defamation and, in some cases, libel. Insulting statements posted online are an especially big blow for victims. Adults must teach children from the lower elementary grades and up that posting thoughtless remarks on a social networking service can be criminal. There is a need to develop an educational approach to teach the ethics of relationship building (and what it means to be unkind), and not only from the angle of preventing crimes.
11) Harassing someone by destroying his or her personal belongings is considered destruction of property even if, for example, the bully 12) fills the victim's bag with mud or gets it extremely dirty but does not destroy it.
13) Hiding someone's indoor shoes or other personal belongings is also considered destruction of property. Not being able to use one's personal belongings when one wishes to because they have been hidden is similar to not being able to use them because they have been destroyed. Thus, hiding someone's belongings counts as destruction of property, even if the belongings are not destroyed.
14) Ordering someone to buy things from the school store for you every day based on a strong power relationship is coercion.
15) If the bully makes threats when the victim does not follow orders, such as, "You've got a lot of nerve. Just wait until school is over," that in itself is criminal intimidation.
16) Stealing someone's pocket money from his or her bag is theft. Even taking someone's pencil or eraser is theft.
17) Using intimidation or violence to get someone to hand over his or her money or belongings is extortion. If the level of intimidation or violence is extreme, the behavior falls under the more serious crime of robbery.
18) Cases in which bullies get students who say they don't have any more pocket money to constantly hand over money by ordering them to bring their parents' money, for example, also count as theft.
19) Behaviors such as forcing people to strip naked or in their underwear against their will, and making fun of them, fall under indecent assault. Such behavior constitutes indecent assault even if, for example, it is perpetrated by female students against other female students without a sense of lewdness.
20) Here is a quote from an article to illustrate cases of extreme baseness and brutality.
"It is not uncommon for victims to be lured by female students and gang-raped by male students. One female high school student was invited by a girl in another class to 'go hang out with an older (male) student at his house.' When she visited the house, several male students and the female student were waiting for her and she was gang-raped on the spot. The targets are invariably girls with a quiet, gentle nature. The female student who lured the victim looks on while the other students there take video of everything from beginning to end on their cellphones. It is said that such incidents are by no means rare." (October 17, 2013 issue of AERA)
Gang-rape in the world of children is equivalent to maximum of 20 years in prison (Penal Code Act No.178-2), which is also applied to the student who lured the crime. There is a need for children and not only adults to understand this reality.
(1) We cannot remain spectators as the number of victimized children increases and the extent of the damage grows. While we need to actively work out potential preventative measures, our most important task is to change the way children and adults think about bullying. Up to this point, people have generally had the vague sense that bullying is something less serious than a crime. As mentioned earlier, however, this impression is wrong. Both children and adults need to understand this fact and fully acknowledge the seriousness, antisocial nature, and cruelty of behaviors called bullying.
(2) At the same time, however, we must keep a level-headed perspective.
Children who bully others are often deeply troubled. Many of them lack the emotional ability that allows them to imagine the suffering of others.
Adults need to take responsibility and discuss issues like the nature of effective family and social environments and the way they interact with offending children from a long-term perspective. We need to remember not to focus on the short-sighted approach of simply blaming children who participate in bullying.
(3) Children often bully others as a form of self-defense.
This is a phenomenon in which children who feel they may become a target if they do not participate in bullying cross over to the side of the bullies.
The psychology of children who are thus compelled to join the bullies is not something that can be easily dismissed with sound adult arguments. Adults need to be sensitive to the fearful darkness that is present in the world of children. A combination of deep understanding with a strict approach can act as a starting point for the solution.
Many people wonder why children bully each other. The world of children, however, is a projection of the world of adults. We adults also need to turn around and examine our own world.

AMHERST, Mass. - Bernd Sahling, an independent filmmaker from Potsdam, Germany, will be the University of Massachusetts DEFA Film Library's first filmmaker-in-residence from April 21-29, 1999. Sahling will participate in two public events co-sponsored by the University's Multicultural Film Festival.
On Wednesday, April 21, he will introduce the film "Jana and Jan" at 8 p.m. at the Pleasant Street Theater, Northampton. The showing of the film (with English subtitles) and following discussion will be free and open to the public.
On Thursday, April 29, Sahling will be one of four distinguished visitors conducting scriptwriting workshops at UMass. Besides Sahling are: Andrew Horton, the Jeanne H. Smith Professor of Film at the University of Oklahoma; Norman Rajko Grlic, Ohio Eminent Professor of Film at Ohio University, Athens; and Renos Haralambidis, director of the Greek film "No Budget Story," to be screened at the Multicultural Film Festival April 28.
The morning scriptwriting panel is open to the public; afternoon workshops for students require registration with the film studies office at 413/545-3659. As filmmaker-in-residence Sahling will also visit German and film classes at UMass, and will meet with the members of the German language suite. For more information on Sahling's schedule, please contact the DEFA Film Library, 413/545-6681.
Sahling served as assistant director of "Jana and Jan" and supervised casting of the film, directed by Helmut Dziuba in 1992. Outstanding performances by young lay actors are the trademark of Dziuba's dramatic feature films. "Jana and Jan" draws on the personal experiences of inmates of a youth detention center in East Germany in the turbulent months surrounding German unification in 1990.
Sahling has made 11 films as an independent documentarist, often treating conflicts confronting young people. His recent work has been televised on both ZDF and arte. In 1995-96 Sahling held a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) fellowship at Columbia College in Chicago and Northwestern University. One of the first films openly recognizing "punk" culture in East Germany, Sahling's student film "If You Want to Live Like Me" made waves at the Leipzig Film Festival the year before the Berlin Wall came down.

BERLIN: December 13, 2017. A new survey by ethics watchdog Transparency International says 44 percent of Americans now believe that corruption is "pervasive" in Donald Trump's White House – up from 36 percent in 2016.
U.S. citizens now believe corruption is on the rise in their country and the White House is the most corrupt of nine key institutions surveyed including the president's office, members of Congress, government officials, tax officials, the police, judges, local officials - plus business and religious leaders.
TI's latest US Corruption Barometer shows 58 percent of respondents think overall levels of corruption have risen in the past twelve months, up from 34 percent in January 2016.
Almost seven out of 10 people believe the U.S. government is failing to fight corruption, up from five out of 10 last year.
Some 55 percent of those surveyed say fear of retaliation is the main reason not to report corruption, up from 31 percent a year earlier.
"There is a clear sense that people feel corruption has gotten worse. In January 2016, Americans were already distrustful of Washington," commented TI U.S. representative Zoe Riter. "Last year Congress fared the worst in this survey. This year it is the White House, followed by Congress. Our elected officials are failing to build back trust in Washington's ability to serve the people, and still appear to represent elite corporate interests."
Almost a third of U.S. citizens think that most or all business executives are corrupt while judges remain the least, according to the latest TI survey.
In a bid to restore faith in U.S. government institutions, TI wants the Trump administration to make all spending on politics genuinely transparent with the information available on-line in real-time; to stop the exchange of personnel among corporations, lobbyists and elected and high-level government officials; to end the use of anonymous shell companies; to protect whistle-blowers; and to reinforce the independence and oversight capabilities of the Office of Government Ethics.

A state of origin battle of sorts awaits as the Queensland champions host the best from Northern NSW. It should ensure plenty of extra spice in this intriguing match-up at QSAC.
Moreton Bay upstaged some big clubs in Queensland to surge to this season's title and they will plan to ride that momentum towards national glory.
Sunday's gripping 2-1 PS4 NPL Queensland win over Brisbane Strikers is the start of what they will hope is a golden few weeks for the club.
For free-scoring Edgeworth, they'll head north with the benefit of an extra week's rest and the experience against Melbourne City in the Westfield FFA Cup round of 32.
And while they were narrowly beaten on that night, pushing a Hyundai A-League club all the way is sure to give Damien Zane's troops a bit of extra confidence, while they also won their local decider 2-0 against Hamilton Olympic last week
A few goals are likely at QSAC as two attack-minded sides do battle.
Players to watch:

For Blacktown City, they've been superb throughout the NSW NPL season, romping to the minor premiership.
But they went down 2-0 in their grand final on Sunday in a disappointing way to end a brilliant campaign. And being knocked out of the Westfield FFA Cup at home – after being a goal up at the break – was another troubling sign in recent times.
They'll have to put that behind them quickly with Canberra FC heading to Lilys Football Stadium. The Demons will rely on their explosive, attacking talent to help them rebound and with a big crowd behind them at home they'll fancy their chances.
Like Blacktown, Canberra FC also have to recover from a grand final defeat on Sunday, as they were humbled 3-1 by Canberra Olympic.
It's the club's second tilt at the national NPL crown, having been the ACT's representative's in the inaugural competition in 2013.
Whichever side bounces back best from the disappointment of last weekend should come out on top in this one.

Head Coach: Glen McNeill
Redemption will be on the minds of South Melbourne after the ambitious Victorian club failed to make the most of their appearance in last season's national finals.
Chris Taylor's side want to make a mark on the national stage again and this would be the perfect platform, with an automatic berth back into the Westfield FFA Cup next year at stake over the next three weeks.
They head into this one after a heart-breaking grand final defeat in Victoria on Sunday, losing 3-1 to Bentleigh Greens after extra-time at Lakeside.
But South will still start warm favourites against Olympia FC, although they would be foolish to underestimate the Tasmanian outfit.
Renowned for bringing down the big guns during their title-winning season in Tassie, Olympia will head to Lakeside Stadium disciplined, well-structured and with nothing to lose.
Unlike South Melbourne, Olympia were able to get the job done in their local grand final, running out 3-1 winners against Hobart Zebras.

Chris Coyne's Bayswater head to Adelaide on the back of an undefeated season in WA, winning an incredible 19 (with three draws) from their 22 league games.
In their second straight year in PS4 National Premier League's Australian finals, Bayswater have experience on their side as well as a squad with some A-League experience.
In short, "Baysie" are on fire this year.
But West Adelaide has also enjoyed a memorable campaign and will be hoping to emulate fellow South Australian club MetroStars who took out last year's event.
They completed the double on Saturday by beating Adelaide Blue Eagles in the grand final 4-2, with goals from John Karatzas, Tom Briscoe, Kosta Mantis and Alex Rideout.
It's hard to pick a winner in this one in what should be a titanic struggle at Adelaide Shores.

♠ Posted by Emmanuel in Credit Crisis,CSR,Hegemony at 8/11/2009 01:51:00 PMHave I got a treat for you today, dear friends. I was rummaging through my cabinet in search of something else when I came across this priceless piece of disaster memorabilia. As you can see, it is an Arthur Andersen binder for a seminar concerning--I kid you not--a "Business Ethics Program." There is an old saying about being able to tell who a person is by the persons he keeps company with. As an inveterate collector of oddball stuff--I like to think of this blog as postcards from a world gone wrong as its subtitle suggests--my conviction is that I can tell who a person is by the memorabilia s/he keeps.
But wait, it gets even better. Open the binder and you can see what must have been highly informative content on, among other things, "Accounting Minicases" and "Finance Minicases." Rest assured that what I am presenting you is a genuine article as I have neither the time nor the talent to make this stuff up. (Topping things off, it's from Houston, but that's another story.) To prove that I have not grabbed this stuff via image search, I am including two Nintendo characters I purchased recently while having to kill time at a shopping mall. Goomba is thoroughly appalled: "Even Bowser wouldn't commit such villainy!" Yoshi agrees, saying "Where is Mario when you need him to eliminate these evildoers?"
Actually, we all know what happened sometime ago: the world's largest accounting firm was effectively put out of business when criminal convictions were levied against Arthur Andersen. The ironic thing is that the conviction was overturned in 2005--well after the accounting firm ceased to exist and its various offices became affiliated with the other major accounting concerns.
Mind you, America is still the world's leading practitioner of fraudulent accounting. By not recognizing its unfunded health care and old age liabilities--an act guaranteed to land any accountant in jail were he auditing a corporation--it perpetuates the moronic and morally bankrupt process of poor countries subsidizing rich countries we call subprime globalization. As Willem Buiter notes, America's Medicare's unfunded obligations total $85.2 trillion alone--let's see if they can make the Chinese pay for that. Yes, Virginia, there still is a political economy of bookkeeping.
Before I rehash that stuff, I view my Arthur Andersen binder as another piece of evidence in--you guessed it--the overall narrative of American decline. A country that trades real productivity for smoke and mirrors bookkeeping to dupe others into "investing" in its "assets" should be realized for what it is. Simply put: the US dollar is depreciating junk, Treasuries are trash printed in nearly infinite quantities, and American equities that are in the same place now as they were over a decade ago (not even adjusted for inflation) are utter rubbish.
Call it the endowment effect in operation, but I would not sell this magnificent memorabilia even if someone offered me a thousand dollars. Meanwhile, business ethics my sassafras--the entire edifice reeks of corruption, sort of like nationalized Enronitis. Does moral decline accompany financial decline? I need not answer that question.

Talking to a shy person can sometimes be difficult, especially if you feel that you're the only one talking.
The trick is to find topics that are engaging and to make the other person feel comfortable. You can even communicate with them online if in-person chats aren't working.
You caring enough to do your research on how to talk to them is a great first step, so no worries. You'll do great!
Having a Conversation
Give them a warm introduction. Approach the shy person with a friendly face and tone. Avoid getting too close or rushing up to them; instead, be calm about the interaction. You might also ask them a question about themselves to break the ice and get the conversation flowing.
* For instance, you might say "Hey Terry! I'm glad to see you. Did I see you at the movies last night?"
* If you have never officially met them before, introduce yourself and tell them you're glad to meet them.

MISSION-05. 5.Products I
LSBM completes or is developing a number of original products
Products from System Bio-Medicine
Virus expressing complex with G protein coupled receptor
G protein coupled receptors are the most important family of proteins that recognize chemical substances on the cell surface. It is the target of many medicines. LSBM succeeded in expressing a large amount of G protein-coupled receptor on the membrane of insect baculovirus (BV). Baculovirus expresses three kinds of G protein, α, β, γ together with the receptor, and creates a complex capable of recognizing ligand at 1/100 concentration on the virus.
A monoclonal antibody that inhibits G protein coupled receptors that suppress inflammation
CCR2, a G protein coupled receptor, accumulates leukocytes and exacerbates inflammation. LSBM succeeded in suppressing receptor function by preparing monoclonal antibody to CCR2 expressed in baculovirus. It can be applied to more than 800 G protein coupled receptors.
Virus that glows when chemical substance gets on receptor
When the two proteins are in the vicinity, the FRET technology changes the color of the fluorescence emitted by energy transfer, and when the G protein-coupled receptor is activated, it is under development of a virus that emits fluorescence. If this virus can be done, it will be possible to promptly screen medicines against a large number of G protein coupled receptors.
Make an odor sensor
Humans can smell more than 10,000 kinds of smells. The chemical substance that generates the odor binds to about 500 GPCRs (cell membrane receptors). The human nervous system recognizes the smell from the pattern of complex chemicals bound to this 500 pieces. LSBM has succeeded in expressing odorous receptors in insect viruses. We are developing the odor sensor using 500 kinds of viruses.

Valentine's Day has long enjoy a seedy, scandalous history stemming from ancient times. Originally, the Romans celebrated a festival called the Lupercalia on February 13-15. During this annual festival, nearly naked young men would run and strike fertile young women with leather thongs to encourage their changes of successfully conceiving and birthing children.
Lupercalia, of which many write that it was anciently celebrated by shepherds, and has also some connection with the Arcadian Lycaea. At this time many of the noble youths and of the magistrates run up and down through the city naked, for sport and laughter striking those they meet with shaggy thongs. And many women of rank also purposely get in their way, and like children at school present their hands to be struck, believing that the pregnant will thus be helped indelivery, and the barren to pregnancy. (Plutarch).
Later, the Catholic Church banned the Pagan celebration and declared February 14th in honor of Saint Valentine (Valentinus). However, his history is also steeped in mystery. In fact, the Catholic Church removed him from their official calendar of Saints in the 1960s.
To learn more about the history of Valentine's Day, see the Discovery News Article: "The Seedy, Scandalous HIstory of Valentine's Day."

In the previous article, you discovered why every business should conduct Cyber Espionage. This article helps you understand exactly who your competitors and audience are and how to find product ideas from them.
Finding WHO Your Audience Is
The best way to find a unique audience for you is through your competitors. This tells you who your audience is.
Type in your best keyword in Google. Next, write down at least 5 to 10 sites that pop up. For now, focus on the organic ones, not the paid ads.
QUICK TIP: Keep in mind, if no paid ads are coming up on the search word you used, your main keyword doesn't contain ad-friendly words . Make sure some of your keywords do have paid ads in the top of the search engine for when you get into marketing your products.
Check them out and rank them in order of competition.
Go to Semrush. Semrush allows 10 free searches per day.
COMPETITORS: From Dashboard, click Domain Analytics. In the dropdown click Organic Research. Then, click "Competitors. Next, type in your strongest competitor. If you find different ones than your Google search, compare and choose the closest related ones to your business. For now, you only need two or three in order to find your audience.
Go to these sites and look at what they're about, what products they sell and what topics they're discussing on their sites. This is what YOUR audience is interested in. More importantly, it's what they're in need of and what they're purchasing.
Finding Product Ideas From Competitors
KEYWORDS: From the dashboard, type in the domain, keyword or URL, type in your strongest keyword. When a new screen appears, look on the left to make sure you're in "Keyword Analytics – Overview." Looking at keywords gives you ideas on what you can use for similar products and services. It can also give you an idea on whether your product falls in a trending market or a declining one.
Here's an example: I typed in "goal setting" and this is what I found:
First of all, it indicates that goal setting is a steadily trending phrase. The information on this page is pure gold. Here are just a few of the things it tells you:
- It provides different keyword phrases that you can use in marketing.
- Farther down on the left, are a ton of links related to goal setting. Consequently, this shows what type of information is being disseminated in regards to goal setting. As such, you have relevant topics for your audience.
- It shows who is writing about goal setting. Go to these sites and look at their blogs for more trending topics and look at their products to give you ideas for product development and/or improvement.
- Link to some of these articles, or even quote them in your own. If you're really great with words, find a way to take these articles and directly apply their contents to YOUR products.
Record Your Findings
Save this information and link to some of these articles; You can include in your articles, "As so and so says…." or, if you're really great with words, you will be able to take these articles and apply DIRECT quotes pertaining to your products. This information is also a future indicator of possible joint ventures, or even target audience extension.
You even have instant inspiration for headlines, sub-heads, and social media marketing titles in the Ad-Copy section.
Take Action!
Conducting Cyber Espionage regularly on your competitors is the most valuable tool your business has. It enables you to remain informed on who and what your potential buyers want and need. However, most importantly, it is where you're going to find product ideas. Neurogoals, a training designed specifically for product development walks you through the Cyber Espionage process and helps you find, and design products for every aspect of your funnel.
Sign up through the link below or in the sidebar to access The Cyber Espionage Tracking Sheet. It helps you organize and analyze the information you collect while conducting your Cyber Espionage. It's free for download. If you have any questions, free help is provided on the Diversimom Facebook page.
That's it for now. In the meantime, never give up, never give in and pull from within!

Ice core records from Antarctica show mostly synchronous temperature variations during the last deglacial transition, an indication that the climate of the entire continent reacted as one unit to the global changes. However, a record from the Taylor Dome ice core in the Ross Sea sector of East Antarctica has been suggested to show a rapid warming, similar in style and synchronous with the Oldest Dryas-Bolling warming in Greenland. Since publication of the Taylor Dome record, a number of lines of evidence have suggested that this interpretation is incorrect and reflects errors in the underlying time scale. The issues raised regarding the dating of Taylor Dome currently linger unresolved, and the original time scale remains the de facto chronology. We present new water isotope and chemistry data from nearby Taylor Glacier to resolve the confusion surrounding the Taylor Dome time scale. We find that the Taylor Glacier record is incompatible with the original interpretation of the Taylor Dome ice core, showing that the warming in the area was gradual and started at similar to 18 ka BP (before 1950) as seen in other East Antarctic ice cores. We build a consistent, up-to-date Taylor Dome chronology from 0 to 60 ka BP by combining new and old age markers based on synchronization to other ice core records. The most notable feature of the new TD2015 time scale is a gas age-ice age difference of up to 12,000 years during the Last Glacial Maximum, by far the largest ever observed.
High-resolution, well-dated climate archives provide an opportunity to investigate the dynamic interactions of climate patterns relevant for future projections. Here, we present data from a new, annually dated ice core record from the eastern Ross Sea, named the Roosevelt Island Climate Evolution (RICE) ice core. Comparison of this record with climate reanalysis data for the 1979-2012 interval shows that RICE reliably captures temperature and snow precipitation variability in the region. Trends over the past 2700 years in RICE are shown to be distinct from those in West Antarctica and the western Ross Sea captured by other ice cores. For most of this interval, the eastern Ross Sea was warming (or showing isotopic enrichment for other reasons), with increased snow accumulation and perhaps decreased sea ice concentration. However, West Antarctica cooled and the western Ross Sea showed no significant isotope temperature trend. This pattern here is referred to as the Ross Sea Dipole. Notably, during the Little Ice Age, West Antarctica and the western Ross Sea experienced colder than average temperatures, while the eastern Ross Sea underwent a period of warming or increased isotopic enrichment. From the 17th century onwards, this dipole relationship changed. All three regions show current warming, with snow accumulation declining in West Antarctica and the eastern Ross Sea but increasing in the western Ross Sea. We interpret this pattern as reflecting an increase in sea ice in the eastern Ross Sea with perhaps the establishment of a modern Roosevelt Island polynya as a local moisture source for RICE.
Old ice for paleo-environmental studies, traditionally accessed through deep core drilling on domes and ridges on the large ice sheets, can also be retrieved at the surface from ice sheet margins and blue ice areas. The practically unlimited amount of ice available at these sites satisfies a need in the community for studies of trace components requiring large sample volumes. For margin sites to be useful as ancient ice archives, the ice stratigraphy needs to be understood and age models need to be established. We present measurements of trapped gases in ice from Taylor Glacier, Antarctica, to date the ice and assess the completeness of the stratigraphic section. Using delta O-18 of O-2 and methane concentrations, we unambiguously identify ice from the last glacial cycle, covering every climate interval from the early Holocene to the penultimate interglacial. A high-resolution transect reveals the last deglaciation and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in detail. We observe large-scale deformation in the form of folding, but individual stratigraphic layers do not appear to have undergone irregular thinning. Rather, it appears that the entire LGM-deglaciation sequence has been transported from the interior of the ice sheet to the surface of Taylor Glacier relatively undisturbed. We present an age model that builds the foundation for gas studies on Taylor Glacier. A comparison with the Taylor Dome ice core confirms that the section we studied on Taylor Glacier is better suited for paleo-climate reconstructions of the LGM due to higher accumulation rates.
Polar temperature is often inferred from water isotopes in ice cores. However, non-temperature effects on 3180 are important during the abrupt events of the last glacial period, such as changes in the seasonality of precipitation, the northward movement of the storm track, and the increase in accumulation. These effects complicate the interpretation of 8180 as a temperature proxy. Here, we present an independent surface temperature reconstruction, which allows us to test the relationship between delta O-18(ice) and temperature, during Dansgaard-Oeschger event 8, 38.2 thousand yrs ago using new delta N-15 and delta Ar-40 data from the GISP2 ice core in Greenland. This temperature reconstruction relies on a new inversion of inert gas isotope data using generalized least-squares, and includes a robust uncertainty estimation. We find that both temperature and delta O-18 increased in two steps of 20 and 140 yrs, with an overall amplitude of 11.80 +/- 1.8 degrees C between the stadial and interstadial centennial-mean temperature. The coefficient alpha = d delta O-18/dT changes with each time-segment, which shows that non-temperature sources of fractionation have a significant contribution to the delta O-18 signal. When measured on century-averaged values, we find that alpha = d delta O-18/dT = 0.32 +/- 0.06%(0)/degrees C, which is similar to the glacial/Holocene value of 0.328%(o)/degrees C.

The recovery of a 1.5 million yr long ice core from Antarctica represents a keystone of our understanding of Quaternary climate, the progression of glaciation over this time period and the role of greenhouse gas cycles in this progression. Here we tackle the question of where such ice may still be found in the Antarctic ice sheet. We can show that such old ice is most likely to exist in the plateau area of the East Antarctic ice sheet (EAIS) without stratigraphic disturbance and should be able to be recovered after careful pre-site selection studies. Based on a simple ice and heat flow model and glaciological observations, we conclude that positions in the vicinity of major domes and saddle position on the East Antarctic Plateau will most likely have such old ice in store and represent the best study areas for dedicated reconnaissance studies in the near future. In contrast to previous ice core drill site selections, however, we strongly suggest significantly reduced ice thickness to avoid bottom melting. For example for the geothermal heat flux and accumulation conditions at Dome C, an ice thickness lower than but close to about 2500m would be required to find 1.5 Myr old ice (i.e., more than 700m less than at the current EPICA Dome C drill site). Within this constraint, the resolution of an Oldest-Ice record and the distance of such old ice to the bedrock should be maximized to avoid ice flow disturbances, for example, by finding locations with minimum geothermal heat flux. As the geothermal heat flux is largely unknown for the EAIS, this parameter has to be carefully determined beforehand. In addition, detailed bedrock topography and ice flow history has to be reconstructed for candidates of an Oldest-Ice ice coring site. Finally, we argue strongly for rapid access drilling before any full, deep ice coring activity commences to bring datable samples to the surface and to allow an age check of the oldest ice.

AT&T has announced that they sold some 6.1 million smartphones in the third quarter of this year, and 6 million only two months into this quarter. AT&T directly credits the iPhone 4S for this success. AT&T also notes that they sold over 1 million iPhone 4S units within the first five days of it's launch.
It's also worth remembering that AT&T offers the lower-end iPhone 4, and is the only carrier to offer the iPhone 3GS. All of which help to pad their numbers.
In other news, Fierce Wireless is reporting that Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam made comments in which he claimed the company would be rolling out shared data plan plans in 2012.
If this works the way many believe it will, this means customers with an iPhone and, say, an iPad 3G, could pull data through the same account. No more separate data plans for each device owned. Alternatively this could allow customers with family data plans to all pull data from the same pool.
It never ceases to amaze me how carriers can milk blood from a stone. As companies they really do one thing- supply service to devices. It seems that they are always hatching new ways to do the same thing. Often times this means another charge on the end-users account. In a situation like this, it could very well mean savings for the customer. We'll see.

In Part I of Poole's patter, we heard from BPO veteran David Poole sharing some of his thoughts on where BPO is eventually heading- and he began the conversation by discussing the fact that "outsourcing" will gradually been replaced by "venturing", where providers will do as much due diligence on their clients as clients do on them to analyse and dig out the true joint opportunity.
Essentially, David argues that a new breed of providers are seriously trying to figure out the added value they can provide so they can share it to create a true win-win with their future engagements. He also points out that providers paid by results or so called business outcomes is little more than jargon, and frankly the evidence of this in practice is pretty slim.
So in reality, we know where the industry is heading, we just haven't reached the point where these new developments are really happening in practice. However, one core trend that is clearly going to kick-start the process of venturing versus actual outsourcing, is the fact that most providers today no longer need to "lift and shift" client staff into their organization to effect the knowledge transfer - they can now use their existing delivery staff. Hence, the actual process of "outsourcing" operations is fast becoming moot - this transfer of labor, technology and domain acumen is no longer needed in many of these business process engagements, because the provider already brings these qualities to the table. So let's zone-in on the patter-tastic protagonist himself, David Poole...
Virtualized Delivery – The "O" is not a prerequisite
Providers really are getting extremely good at providing services better, faster, cheaper and with greater value added than even the biggest companies, with the most experienced shared services organizations, can achieve. It stands to reason because providing back office services IS their business. They invest in best practice process models, they have far greater scale, they invest in technology, work management, risk management, provide unparalleled career opportunities. I predict however that there will be a huge blurring of the boundary between provider and client.
Still today there are many situations where outsourcing is a bad word, where legal or regulatory constraints exist or frankly where political and / or Political boundaries prevent an outsourcing decision. The fact is that providers don't just provide cheap people these days. That other stuff, the technology, process knowledge, analytics, work management, methodology and leadership capability is highly value adding. I predict that we will see deals emerging where these are provided and applied to the clients own staff. In the new World of Business Process Venturing the O is not a prerequisite. The provider can manage services using client staff and still share in the value added outcome. There are some notable examples of niche providers today that operate this model extensively and extremely profitably. Accretive Health from Michael Cline's stable is a great example.
I think the future mainstream of our industry will see deals that are hybrids of traditional onshore, nearshore, offshore and increasingly client staff will be in the mix. Another twist to this point is the growing potential, aided by technology, of utilizing home workers, often self-employed to deliver processes.
This area is growing very fast in the customer service arena but why not in a host of other process areas. It's politically extremely attractive, provides access to a highly educated and motivated sector of the work force and work management tools, methods and technology now available to manage home workers in truly impressive.
David Poole is a distinguished veteran of the BPO industry having previously led Capgemini's Americas BPO service line. He was also a founding member of PwC's global BPO business prior to IBM acquiring their operations. He can be emailed here.

The History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment
I remember when I was about 11 years old; my history teacher Mrs Mearden teaching my class about the Spanish Armada and telling us it was one of the biggest naval fleets ever assembled. At that point Ruth Gilpin, who was born and raised in Spain, put up her hand and told us that when she was taught the subject in Spain, that they were taught that it was a dozen or so old dilapidated ships and that "The English" had been lucky to win. My point being, in history, facts can be lost or changed over time with the victors putting their spin on things and the losers doing the same. Due to this simple fact of life, I expected that a lot of things mentioned in "The History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment" to have to be taken with a pinch of salt. I am pleased to say that I didn't find that to be the case.

Sleeperz offers Edinburgh hotel breaks on a budget
Finding an affordable hotel right in the heart of Edinburgh city centre is about to get a whole lot easier.
About eight months ago the Sleeperz team heard about a city centre hotel in Edinburgh that was closing its doors.
Amazingly, the hotel was just off Prince's Street – in Shandwick Place – right in the city centre and about 10 minutes walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and the Haymarket station
Makeover for Edinburgh budget hotel
It was too good an opportunity to pass over and so we took over the building, a former Travelodge, and set about giving it a Sleeperz Hotels makeover.
It won't be called Sleeperz Hotel Edinburgh. Why?
Well, we aren't creating a striking and beautiful building from scratch – which is a Sleeperz hallmark – we are transforming an existing hotel into stylish, comfortable and convenient budget accommodation.
A new kind of budget hotel
We had another idea – why not launch a brand-new rooms-based sister brand?
We had a think about all of the great value hotels (some might even say cheap hotels) and budget brands and came up with Cityroomz, a new form of comfortable and conveniently located accommodation at great value prices.
There are 72 rooms in the building we've bought and we have already gone to work turning it into something special.
In fact, we've completed our master room already and here's what you can expect when you stay at CityRoomz Edinburgh.
Bespoke beds and pillows for hotel guests
What you can't see in the photo is that we ordered the mattresses to be custom made for CityRoomz and we have invested in the finest microfiber pillows.
Plus, how many other budget hotels have a safe in the room big enough for a laptop, free wi-fi and tea and coffee making facilities?
There's a whole host of free TV channels to watch on a flat screen and like Sleeperz Hotels, CityRoomz will be bright, cheerful and welcoming.
Best city break in the UK
Edinburgh has always been thought of as one of the best city breaks in the UK and Sleeperz is so excited to be opening up a hotel right in the Scottish capital.
It's a place of history and culture, famous for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the Military Tattoo, and watched over by the impressive Edinburgh Castle.
One of the best times of year to visit Edinburgh is New Year or Hogmanay, as the locals call it, when Prince's Street is packed with crowds watching one of the biggest fireworks displays anywhere in the world.
We are set to open our new hotel in early May 2013 and you can find out more at www.cityroomz.com
Cityroomz Hotel Edinburgh will operate 72 rooms and offer a fresh continental breakfast (£4.95) with rates starting at £49 per night, including free and fast wi-fi.

What is the Process of Annulment in the Philippines?
Since there is no divorce law in the Philippines, it is legally necessary that a previously-married Filipino woman or man, whose spouse is still alive, get a legal civil annulment in order to marry again.
While we are not lawyers and cannot offer legal advice per se, based on our research and experience, we want to explain the generally-accepted process of civil annulment so that you will be prepared when you meet with your lawyer if you need to pursue this course.
The First step is to hire an attorney. An attorney's packaged acceptance fee typically ranges from 70,000 pesos ($1750) to 120,000 pesos ($3000). In the Philippines, there are some people who might promise and offer services, such as a quick annulment of marriage, for an even larger amount. However, taking such a large risk is ill-advised and may result in a complete loss of the entire exorbitant sum with little or no actual progress on the legal case.
The time necessary for annulment depends on the talent, connections, and dedication of the attorney. An uncontested annulment case (in which the spouse does not show up at all in court) may take 6 months to 4 years to complete depending on the calendar of the court, the availability of witnesses and other issues such as custody or property. Cases where the spouse does appear can be even longer.
Constant communication and follow up are needed for the case to go smoothly and on schedule.
The second step is writing the required marital history. This is a detailed narrative of the marriage from the time the two first met through the present. It also includes the reason for the separation focused on the personality of the couples and detailing the end the relationship.
The most common grounds for Traditional Annulment and Declaration of Nullity of Marriage are the following:
1. Minority (those contracted by any party below 18 years of age even with the consent of parents or guardians).
2. Lack of authority of solemnizing officer (those solemnized by any person not legally authorized to perform marriages, unless such marriages were contracted with either or both parties believing in good faith that the solemnizing officer had the legal authority to do so).
3. Absence of marriage license (except in certain cases).
4. Bigamous or polygamous marriages (except in cases where the other spouse is declared as presumptively dead).
5. Mistaken identity (those contracted through the mistake of one contracting party as to the identity of the other).
6. After securing a judgment of annulment or of absolute nullity of marriage, the parties, before entering into the subsequent marriage, failed to record with the appropriate registry the: (i) partition and distribution of the properties of the first marriage; And (ii) delivery of the children's presumptive legitime.
7. Incestuous marriages (between ascendants and descendants of any degree, between brothers and sisters, whether of the full or half blood).
8. Void by reason of public policy. Marriages between (i) collateral blood relatives whether legitimate or illegitimate, up to the fourth civil degree; (ii) step-parents and step-children; (iii) parents-in-law and children-in-law; (iv) adopting parent and the adopted child; (v) surviving spouse of the adopting parent and the adopted child; (vi) surviving spouse of the adopted child and the adopter; (vii) an adopted child and a legitimate child of the adopter; (viii) adopted children of the same adopter; and (ix) parties where one, with the intention to marry the other, killed that other person's spouse, or his or her own spouse.
9. Psychological Incapacity. Psychological incapacity contemplates downright incapacity or inability to take cognizance of and to assume the basic marital obligations; not a mere refusal, neglect or difficulty, much less, ill will, on the part of the errant spouse. Irreconcilable differences, conflicting personalities, emotional immaturity and irresponsibility, physical abuse, habitual alcoholism, sexual infidelity or perversion, and abandonment, by themselves, also do not warrant a finding of psychological incapacity. [Note] the guidelines and illustrations of psychological incapacity, including a case involving habitual lying, as well as the steps and procedure in filing a petition.
Most Annulment lawyers in the Philippines commonly use Psychological Incapacity.
The third step is the psychological evaluation process. This varies from one psychologist to the next. The lawyer normally would recommend a psychologist/psychiatrist who will do the evaluation and be a witness in court. The evaluation may cost from 15,000 pesos to as high as 40,000 pesos. Some charge additional fees for testifying in court. (Normally, this fee is already included in the annulment package quoted by the attorney.) The spouse will be asked to join in the evaluation, but in most instances they do not participate in the evaluation process. The psychologist will then proceed to do the evaluation based on the tests and the interviews with the party or parties as well as other relevant witnesses.
The fourth step is the drafting, then filing, of the petition itself. This is the lawyer's job. After the filing of the petition, which must be signed by the requesting party (husband or wife), the case will be assigned to a branch of the Regional Trial Court. The spouse will now be notified by sending papers, called summons, requiring the spouse to answer the petition within a number of days from receipt of the notice.
Collusion of marriage (both parties agreed to file an annulment) will also be investigated, a process wherein a public prosecutor will be assigned to a court and will be asked to determine if the parties involved are conspiring to file a case. Collusion – mutually agreed-upon separation – is not an acceptable condition and would result in a dismissal of the annulment petition.
After the collusion investigation, a report is prepared by the public prosecutor on the findings of his investigation. If no collusion is found, the case proceeds to a pretrial and the spouse will be notified again. If the spouse does not appear, the court will proceed with the marking of the documents, the determination of the number of witnesses, and the schedule of the trial. During the trial stage, witnesses will be called. Normally, the witnesses would be the petitioning party, a corroborating witness (who knew the couple and what happened to the marriage), and the psychologist who will testify on the evaluation made. The public prosecutor representing the government will be allowed to question the witnesses as well.
After the trial and the offer of evidence, the case is then submitted for decision. (Waiting for decision may take 90 days or more)
Note that the presence of the spouse is not necessary in the process. In most annulment proceedings, in fact, the other party to the marriage does not participate at all. This speeds up the process somewhat because if the other party makes an appearance, then he will likewise be given the opportunity to present witnesses and evidence.

Where to find information
All Saints' Church does not have the facilities to store archives, so only the current register is kept here in the safe. We register baptism, marriage and confirmation. The churchyard has been closed for burials for many years.
If you require an older register, which you will if researching your ancestors, then you will need to approach the Lincolnshire County Archive office in Lincoln, where all our older documents have been deposited and where they are carefully kept in the right conditions.
While in Lincoln it may be worth being in touch with the Lincolnshire Family History Society which has research premises near to the County Archive.
In many places the monuments in the churchyard can be valuable sources of information, but it is regrettable that very, very few of ours are now legible.
If you are just starting out, especially if you live outside the UK and are unfamiliar with systems here, The National Archives "Getting Started" page will help you get going in the right direction.

Jesus: The "Firstfruit"?
1 Corinthians 15:20 says that, "Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." Does this imply that Jesus lived recently, since shortly after the firstfruits the other fruit are born?
This is of course interpreted lots of ways. Says to me the "truth" can't die. Like saying the "laws will never change", like thermodynamics says today .... Umm, I live today, me christ as you, just as for you not dead and mentally blind, who reject all superstition and dogma, those of you "awake" and who understand the "oneness", as you are the christ too .... To know is "gnosis", and has NO "faith" ..... blah blah
Yeah, the agreed "gnosis" definition is clumsy ... Aha whatever. We are GOD !!!
And buddha laughed
I read it as: implying that christ (being dead) has risen from that death (soul) and that act is being a reward or pay off (firstfruit) to those who have fallen asleep(died)
Slowly building a blog at ~
I think Renee is more correct regarding that verse , after reading,
Rook probably knows. Mythology is pretty interesting, a look into our past.
Sounds reasonable.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Energy Department reports it has removed the last remaining bomb-grade uranium from Romania as part of an international nuclear nonproliferation program.
Authorities removed 118 pounds of highly enriched uranium from two research reactors in Romania and flown to Russia for secure storage. The shipments were organized by the department's National Nuclear Security Administration.
Russia had provided the uranium years ago. All the highly enriched U.S. uranium was removed from the country last year. The program is part of a broader worldwide effort to move bomb-grade uranium away from research reactors to more secure locations. More than 100 research reactors across the globe still have highly enriched uranium.
