TILLAMOOK COUNTY, Ore. — Many believe that great adventures only happen in distant, far off lands. But not Nancy J Smith! She prefers prowling her home state's soggy trails for sneak peeks at nature – like the short hike into University Falls in the Tillamook State Forest.
"Oh, there's so much to see in here…even the gorgeous white bark on these alder trees is just beautiful," exclaimed Smith with a broad smile.
As she clutched her well-used Canon camera, she added, "I love what I do – can you tell?"
It is easy to fall in love with University Falls; the trail rises and falls on a short half-mile trek before dropping steeply to a viewpoint at the base of the falls on the north side of Elliot Creek.
Elliot Creek is a small watershed, so the falls won't flow nearly as powerfully in the summer as they do in the winter. That is especially true following a heavy rain when the fully charged creek creates a scenic 55-foot falls that is more akin to a silky wedding veil draped over a wall of rugged basalt. It results in a stunning show for photographers.
Nancy's husband, Bert Olheiser, is often by her side on an otherwise grey-shaded drizzly day. He carried the gear and shielded the camera lens from the light but steady rainfall.
"I'll help her get to the spot and get the equipment set up," said Olheiser. "And then I stand back and say, 'Nancy, work your magic.'"
Nancy's camera magic often means getting her feet wet in water that's cold as ice.
"Sometimes I get in the creek and sometimes I balance my tripod and my feet on the slippery rocks along the bank," said Smith. "I do what I can to make the scene look good."
Smith has not only made Oregon "look good" for nearly 25 years, but she has captured beautiful, breathtaking iconic scenes across the entire state and drawn a dedicated following too.
Photos from Grant's Getaways: Focus on nature
She prides herself in capturing a scene that puts you on the spot, fills you with pride for Oregon's wonder and puts a smile on your face, too. But here's the thing – the camera she has used throughout her career isn't digital but film.
"This Canon film camera is the one I've always used for my business – it's my work horse for sure and I love it," Smith said. "Some people may think that's an old wave thing and maybe I'm keeping the tradition of photography alive, but it seems to work for me. I love the color saturation from film…it's beautiful and people love it."
People really love her "Majestic Pacific Northwest Calendars" too. They have been a staple of Smith's photographic repertoire since 1990. In fact, her recent Majestic Pacific NW 2020 calendar won a Silver Award at the National and World Calendar Competition. The recent award was the eighth time she was recognized in the competition.
It's pretty heady stuff for a woman who grew up in the countryside near her hometown of Gresham, Oregon. She fondly recalls childhood days of catching crawdads from nearby creeks.
"It was my playground and I fell in love with the outdoors at a very early age," Smith said.
As she approaches her seventh decade exploring the Oregon outdoors, Smith said that she has never lost that thrill that comes from visiting new places. Her youthful exuberance comes from discovering something new each time she goes out and that keeps her young at heart too.
"She does have a lot of energy," admitted Bert. "I need a cup of coffee or two to start moving in the morning but she jumps out of bed going 50 miles an hour. It's her positive and open view to life that's so inspiring. She really appreciates her time here."
Judging from the sheer joy she found at Munson Creek Falls State Park near Tillamook, Smith shows no signs of slowing.
She admitted that her time in the outdoors is never about the destination, but what she might find in the small details along the journey. Smith said that insatiable curiosity keeps her on the trail of photographic adventures and the trail of her life.
"It really is the reason I get so excited," said Smith. "My best adventures are the 'along the way' discoveries – the small things and life is like that too. If we just take the time to enjoy the journey, it's so much better."

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the bones, called the vertebrae, of the back, known as the spine. The spine is stabilized by fusing together two or more vertebrae, using bone grafts and metal rods and screws.
If a patient is has received injuries to spinal vertebrae, or is having some protrusion and degeneration of the cushioning disk between vertebrae (sometimes called slipped disk or herniated disk) then spinal fusion is recommended by the physician.
Additionally, if someone has abnormal curvatures of the spine (such as scoliosis or kyphosis) or weak / unstable spine caused by infections or tumors then also spinal fusion is recommended.
Motion between vertebral segments can be a significant source of pain in some patients. Spinal fusion eliminates this pain. The spinal fusion surgery also stops the progress of spinal deformity, such as scoliosis. Spinal fusion will take away some spinal flexibility. But most spinal fusions involve only small segments of the spine and thus do not limit motion very much.
Patients need to stop taking aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and indocin, two weeks before the surgery. Once the NSAIDs are discontinued, patient may take extra-strength Tylenol for pain relief. If patient is on aspirin or Coumadin for a heart condition, they need to contact their doctor for further instructions.
If patient is a smoker, it is important to stop smoking for at least two weeks before the surgery and for six weeks after your surgery. Studies have shown that smoking interferes with healing of the bone graft.
Most patients are admitted on the morning of surgery. On the day of surgery, patients can bring a list of their routine medications with you to the hospital. Patients should not indulge in any eating or drinking post-midnight on the night before the surgery. If the patient is admitted in the morning of the surgery, they should not eat any solid foods after 9 p.m. or drink any liquids, even water, after 12-midnight.
In addition, there are lots of restrictions (addressed later in this page) on patients undergoing spinal fusion. Hence it is helpful in the post-operative period if patients take precautions like stocking up on groceries (so it's not necessary to lift grocery bags, place frequently used items in the home within easy reach (so no bending is required), and getting some extra help around the house can all help with the recovery process.
Anterior/posterior spinal fusion — done from the front AND the back.
A spinal fusion surgery is designed to stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment, which in turn should decrease pain generated from the joint. Once you the patient is in the operating room they will be given the anesthesia discussed previously with the anesthesiologist.
The procedure may take from two to 12 hours, depending on how extensive the surgery is and the technique used by surgeon. Surgery may involve a large incision, or may be done using newer techniques with smaller incisions.
Patients can expect to be in the hospital for several days after surgery. Patients will also likely experience considerable pain and discomfort after spinal fusion surgery. Oral and intravenous medications are administered to bring relief from this pain. Depending on the patient age and condition, it takes from several weeks to several months to heal from this surgery.
Patients are usually taught how to move, sit, stand and walk in a manner that keeps their spine properly aligned. Sometimes, the patient may be able to start a physical rehabilitation program as early as about four weeks after spinal fusion surgery.
It takes approximately three months after a spine fusion surgery for the fusion to successfully set up and achieve its initial maturity. Hence during these first three months, patients are advised to avoid activities that may place the bone graft at risk. Activities like lifting, twisting or bending the lower back, or vigorous activities, such as running and other sports are generally restricted.
Restrictions on activities depend on the type of activities. More vigorous they are, the longer it may take before the patient is able to return to them. However, even strenuous activities can be usually be resumed by six months after the spine fusion surgery. Stressing the bone involved in the fusion after three months helps the spine fusion to become stronger.
It is important that when patients decide to go in for spinal fusion, the rehabilitation process must also be worked out and shown strong commitment. Rehabilitation is focused on stretching, strengthening and, just as importantly if not more so, aerobic conditioning.
Spine fusion works to stop painful motion of the disc or facet joints, and this procedure stiffens the spine as a matter of necessity. In spinal fusion, if the motion of the low back is severely limited due to pain preoperatively, overall clinical motion following fusion can be similar or even better than before surgery if the pain is successfully relieved.
In contrast, the artificial disc replacement is designed to leave the disc space mobile to some degree but it must be clear that it does not replicate normal spinal motion. In fact, each implant design produces different motion patterns. The potential benefits of artificial disc replacement include retained mobility and limiting stress on the adjacent discs.
One of the complications of artificial disc replacement is the possibility of a collapse of the implant into the bone (subsidence), which may limit implant movement. Also, the implant may wear out eventually and require revision or conversion to a fusion. Longer-term (10-20 years following surgery) studies from Europe indicate that wearing out of the artificial disc implant is uncommon.
For some patients suffering from chronic back pain and related complications in U.S. and U.K. spinal fusion surgery is usually very expensive. In such cases, patients can opt to go for spinal fusion operation in countries like Mexico, India and Spain.
The cost for spinal fusion abroad comes at a fraction of the costs in U.S. and U.K. Medical Tourism Corporation's network of hospitals can provide spinal fusion surgery from 6,000 to 13,000.
This package includes hospital stay, lab tests, anesthesia, operation theater fees, doctors fees, ride to & from the hospital, ride to & from recovery center, medicines etc.

Silk Way: Balazs Szalay "Foremost a race!"
June 20, 2012 By PC / PR
After finishing 10 on the 2011SWR, despite fuel problems, Balazs Szalay is back this year to take on the Russian tracks with his Opel Antara and with the same ambition: prove that a Gentleman Driver can finish in the Top 5!
"I have a fantastic souvenir of the start in Red Square. It is one of the most memorable moments of my life and I will have the chance to do it again!," – says Balazs Szalay. "I am really impatient to go, even more so now because the route has more sand than last year; but it still has this amazing variety of terrain on each stage…It is really different than what we are accustomed to and I love it because you have to know how to continually adapt. But I also cannot wait to return to the SWR atmosphere with the fantastic hospitality from the local gentry and from a sporting point of view I will be looking for revenge."
"I know everyone refers to the SWR as a preparation rally for the Dakar, but you mustn't forget that is a real and very difficult race and my primary objective is to do well!" – continues the emblematic Hungarian driver. "Last year, we were in 6th place at mid-distance, before our engine overheated due to fuel that was too rich in octane. A small error from my team that forced us to drop out…But this has actually boosted our confidence for this year, even more so now that we are part of a larger team with three race cars, a T4 and two service trucks. I believe we have all we need to meet our objective of a Top 5 result…"
"But in any case, no matter where we finish, for sure, the SWR is one of the most important rally-raids of the year", concludes Balazs Szalay. "First off, because it has in just a few years attained the stature of a mid-season must do race, but also and more importantly because it is the closest rally-raid to our country. So, for all of us, it is the best possible choice in terms of a price to media return ratio. The press coverage of the SWR is very significant in Eastern Europe and for our sponsors it is a very good communication vehicle. This also explains why there is a large presence of 'regional' participants in the field."

Chakri Day 2012 Weekend Events
There are several events this Friday April 6th, and over the weekend, April 7-8th, 2012. Friday is Chakri Day; there will be elections in Phuket and Chiang Mai and other towns and provinces; and Monday April 9th will be the royal cremation ceremony of HRH Princess Bejaratana Rajasud.
The 6th of April is Chakri Day in Thailand. It is a celebration of the House of Chakri from which the current royal family originates. The first of the Chakri dynasty was Rama I (Chao Phraya Chakri Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke) who became king of Siam on the 6th of April 1782. The current king of Thailand is Rama IX (King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great) who has reigned in Thailand since 1946.
Chakri day commemorates the coronation of Rama I, but it is also to recognize the contributions of all the kings in this dynasty. It is usual for the people of Thailand to celebrate this day by expressing their thanks to the kings of the Chakri family. They often do this by putting flowers on statues of Rama I. The King also performs a special ceremony to pay respects to his ancestor. Government offices, some schools, and banks close, but most other businesses open as usual on this day.
Local Elections and Alcohol Ban
There will be local elections in many provinces in Thailand on the 7th April 2012 – including tourist areas such as Phuket and Chiang Mai. This means that there will be an alcohol ban over the weekend. In some places this will start from 6pm on Friday the 6th. Bars are also likely to be closed from the 8th until the 10th of April because of the Royal cremation on the 9th. This means that there will be no alcohol sold for a full 4 days in most places.
Royal Cremation Ceremony
The Royal Cremation for HRH Princess Bejaratana Rajasud will take place on the 9th of April 2012. The ceremony will take place in the grounds of Sanam Luang. Those who wish to give their respects will be able to offer scented flowers at a number of locations around Bangkok.
HRH Princess Bejaratana Rajasud was the first cousin of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and she was the only child of Rama VI (King Vajiravudh). She proved to be a devoted princess who had a particular interest in public health, education, and Buddhism. She was particularly gifted at mathematics. She died on the 27th July 2011 aged 85 years of age.
Songkran is Coming
Songkran the Water Festival (sometimes called the Thai New Year) is rapidly approaching, and those who are lucky enough to be in Thailand can look forward to plenty of fun. Songkran is the water festival because the favorite activity at this time of year is throwing water (or at least gently pouring it on elders and Buddha figures). Those visitors who have never been involved in a Thai water fight are in for a real treat. Even those individuals who would normally not enjoy such frolicking appreciate it because the cool water is a blessing in the heat.
For most Thai people this is a time of year to be with family. The villages of rural Thailand see their populations increase as people return home for the holiday. It is a time to party but it is also an occasion to visit the local temples where they cleanse the Buddhist statues. Songkran is a time for renewal. The whole of Thailand celebrates this festival but it is claimed that the biggest celebrations occur in Chiang Mai. Songkran officially takes place between the 13th and 15th of April, but in some parts of the country it will include days prior to and after this date. Songkran is a time when traffic accidents are high so people need to drive carefully.

CIPPIC Joins Article 19's CJEU Intervention on Global De-Registration Orders
| December 15, 2017
CIPPIC joined in an intervention (FR) which highlights the negative impact on freedom of expression that can result if the Court of Justice of the European Union endorses global content de-referencing orders. The regulatory action under appeal in C-507/17, Google Inc v Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), arise from an order issued by the French data protection authority (CNIL) which would compel Google to extend its de-referencing of content to protect the privacy of Spanish citizens beyond google.fr. Content removal or de-referencing orders of this nature have the effect of leveraging the global reach of central online intermediaries such as Google in order to apply one nation's laws to the entire world. As a result, other states lose the ability to establish their own standards with respect to critical questions such as, in this instance, addressing the balance between the right to privacy and to freedom of expression.
The specific type of content de-referencing order at issue in Google v CNIL seeks to protect the privacy of individuals by de-referencing their names from certain online articles: when someone searches for 'Alice Dubois', the first search hit that results will no longer be an account of Ms Duboius' 14 year old debt security proceedings. Ms Dubouis can retain some measure of control over how she represents herself to her employers, colleagues, friends—the world. However, in formulating such a right, great caution must be taken to ensure the right balance is struck between the need to protect individual's privacy and the public's right to receive information. Can professionals use this right to remove negative reviews of their products or services? Can those repeatedly convicted of fraud shield their convictions from future perspective 'customers'? Does this right of de-referencing apply to all types of content or just prominently referenced articles that display sensitive information (an individual's sensitive financial information or health condition, for example)? The intervention (which was led by Article 19 and draws on the experience of co-interveners from Canada, Korea, Latin America, the United States, and Member States of the EU) argues that states must be allowed to balancing the important constitutionally protected interests at stake in such questions for themselves, rather than having the question determined by globally applicable content de-referencing orders.

Pioneers continue finding identity against Spirit
Alexis Cubit
PLAINVIEW – The Wayland Baptist Pioneers football team has seen its defense and special teams keep the team in games throughout the season. After a 41-30 win over Texas Wesleyan last Saturday, the Pioneers are also seeing its offense come along, helping the team to find their personality.
"We're a really good defensive football team. We've got real strong kicking units and our offense is learning how we can make that fit and make that all work," Pioneers head coach Butch Henderson said. "Another part of their personality is being able to come in and get after things in the first and second halves. We didn't have that early in the year. I think they're learning how to come in and fit their own personality in it and go play."
WBU will need all four quarters in hopes of getting its fourth straight win when the team plays Ottawa University Arizona at 9 p.m. Saturday in Surprise, Ariz.
"They're explosive so that's going to challenge our defense to have to be able to go up there and make them work for what they're doing," Henderson said. "The other side of that is we've got to be able to balance that out with points offensively and some clock control."
While their offensive styles are different, Henderson likened the Spirit's explosiveness to No. 14-ranked Langston, which beat the Pioneers, 31-20, on Sept. 29.
Junior defensive lineman JaQuavious Dean and sophomore defensive lineman Andre Smith provided a 1-2 punch on the Pioneers' defense, recording nine and eight tackles, respectively, in the win over Texas Wesleyan. Smith, who also had four tackles for loss and 1 1/2 quarterback sacks, was named the Sooner Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week.
"Andre's a real quiet young man and for him to get that reward, I think that's really neat for him. He doesn't show a lot of emotion, but you can tell he was really pleased. I think that'll help him continue to play well," Henderson said.
Smith, Dean and the Pioneers' defense have another test in Ottawa's explosive offense, starting with Spirit sophomore quarterback Austin McCullough, who has 1,919 yards and 20 touchdowns with seven interceptions on the season.
"They don't run a lot of option read-type stuff, but he will come out of there kind of like (Pioneers sophomore quarterback Nick Quintero) does where you overload it and pull it. He also has speed to do that," Henderson said of McCullough.
Quintero has continued to progress, throwing 321 yards and three TDs and one interception last Saturday with the Pioneers' run game totaling 249 yards. In order for Quintero and the offense to keep its upward tick against the Spirit, the Pioneers will need its offensive line to do the same. The biggest threat to the offensive line is senior linebacker Kenneth Steele, who has 12 quarterback sacks, 20 1/2 tackles for loss 52 total tackles and a safety on the year.
"They're building their defense around him (Steele)," Henderson said. That will challenge our offensive line. Can we keep him out? Can they not disguise and hide him from being able to get to us?"
The Pioneers will depend on the experience of its offensive line to hold off Steele, starting with senior Keaton Vawter.
"Keaton does a great job," Henderson said. "He's kind of the mainstay that keeps them all together."
Saturday's Sooner Athletic Conference contest will be the Pioneers' second night game, set for a 9 p.m. CST, 7 p.m. MST, kickoff.
Henderson is encouraged by the Pioneers' last night game – a 32-28 win over Tyler College – but joked that he will have to try to keep himself awake during the game.
"I'll probably have to take my watch off just so I'm not reminding myself it's getting close to bedtime. It's game time," he laughed.

1. Little girl to her mom: Did you say this was snow? Or really cold quicksand?
2. Little girl to her mom: I think I've had enough fun for one day. Can I come inside now?
Mom: But you haven't moved from that one spot.
Little girl: If I have to try to move I'm going to need goggles and a dive tank.
3. Mom to little girl: Come on inside honey, I made you hot chocolate.
Little girl: I've been trying to come in since I came out. Can you through me a life preserver and pull me in?
Mom: We don't have a life preserver, let me go get the fishing pole.
4. Mom (indignantly) to her husband: Really, I don't see why they had to cancel school. So there's a little snow, so what?
5. Little girl (yelling to her mom in the house): Mom, we need to get a new dog. I lost ours.
*Place the chicken strips into a sealable plastic bag. Mix the dressing mix, 1/4 cup of the oil, the Parmesan cheese and chopped green onion together. Pour into the bag with the chicken and seal the bag. Manipulate the chicken so it is all coated and refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
*Place the remaining 1 TBSP vegetable oil and the butter into a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken. Cook and stir until the chicken is completely cooked. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
*To the same skillet, add the water, milk, broccoli and cauliflower. Raise heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Add the contents of the two pasta packets and lower heat to just below medium.
*Boil, stirring now and then until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan. Cook and stir another 2 minutes.
*OPT: Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, shredded carrot and/or chopped green onion.
Yum that looks delicious! I have to give this one a try.
So quick and easy too. Hope you love it.
Then this one would be perfect for you.
I know what I am having for dinner, but you can keep the snow - bring on the spring weather!!!
Yes, I am so done with winter, especially the ice. Bring on Spring.

Serving from a footed cake stand makes even the plainest cake look something special. Instead of buying one, why not make it instead?
Take a cake plate and either a specimen vase or a single candlestick. Use craft paint to spray the vase or candlestick to match the plate if needed. Then, using a hot glue gun, run a line of glue around the rim of the vase or candlestick. Centre the plate over the top and gently press down until the glue dries. Voila - a designer cake stand.
If you use a plate and vase you already have and your one of a kind cake stand won't cost you a thing, or look for vintage plates, vases and candlesticks at markets, garage sales and op shops and you'll have a unique cake plate for just a couple of dollars.
It's not a bargain if it doesn't fit!
Does your family have a launch pad?
Want some extra cash? Then earn it!
Look outside the square - or the supermarket!

When he was a child his family moved to Glenwood for a short time before settling in Lowry. Ray attended school in Glenwood and was a graduate of Glenwood High School. As a young man, he worked for Anderson Construction in Chicago, before moving back to the Lowry area to start Ray Lundblad Excavating in 1958. He also co-owned and operated a trucking company, known as Lowry Transfer, with his brother, Glen, until 1976 when they sold that business. Ray continued to operate his excavating company until 2006, when he sold it to his sons who renamed it Lundblad Brother's Excavating.
Lowry's 2007 "Citizen of the Year." Ray loved his Lord and Savior and was an active member of the Lowry Community Covenant Church, where he served in various capacities.
Ray was a hard worker. He loved spending time with family, friends and acquaintances. He enjoyed playing dominoes, eating at buffets, coffee time and a good joke. He was proud of his Swedish heritage and enjoyed his annual "surprise" birthday celebration each New Year's Eve.

I'm joining Emily P. Freeman in reflecting on what I've learned in the past season before diving into the next. From the useful little tidbits that I've found helpful, to the serious and significant, here are six things I've learned this winter.
1. A big mug of chamomile tea can be just as satisfying as a glass of wine at 5 p.m.
In an effort to be healthier (and lose some stubborn pounds) I started skipping my usual weeknight glass of wine. And what I discovered really surprised me: sitting down with a mug of hot chamomile tea felt just as relaxing (maybe more so) than sipping wine. I realized it's really the act of sitting down and giving myself a chance to breathe that relaxes me more than the wine itself. Don't get me wrong, I still love savoring a glass of wine on the weekends, but during the weeknight bustle, it's nice to know that it doesn't need to be intertwined with my "unwinding" ritual.
2. My local (book) library has a seed library.
It's called the Green Thumbs, Green Minds Seed Library, and you can actually check out seeds to plant in your garden. And while, no, of course you won't be returning the same seeds, they do encourage you (and teach you how) to save seeds from your own garden and bring them back to the seed library. I haven't used it yet, but I'll definitely keep it in mind when we start planting our spring garden.
3. My kid will eat all manner of raw, crunchy veggies as a TV snack.
Carrots, cucumbers, fresh peas: all down the hatch, and sometimes I need to refill the plate. He's not super inclined to mow them down in quite such an enthusiastic way at the dining table, but while semi-distracted by a favorite show, they're gone in a flash.
4. The best tasting carrots are 'Mokum' carrots — but you might have to grow your own.
We found the most delightful carrots at the San Francisco Ferry Building Farmer's Market: they are pale orange, finger-thin, and have an incredibly delicate, crisp crunch and sweet flavor. They're the sort of veggie that makes you realize (after months of sad, too-hard and starchy carrots), oh, so that's what a carrot is supposed to taste like! Sadly, since they don't travel well, you're not likely to find them outside of a good farmer's market — even in the bountiful SF Ferry Building market, we can't always find them.
5. It doesn't take much to make Valentine's Day special for kids (and it means a LOT).
The background: When I was a kid, my grandpa would sneak into our kitchen early on Valentine's Day morning and put flowers, cards, and raspberry pastries on the counter for me and my mom — so I've always had a thing for making Valentine's Day more about love and kindness than strictly romance.
6. Fascia connects your entire body, and it might be making you miserable.
I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would (or frankly, cared to) because of some random aches and pains I'd been having, on and off, for months — first in my feet, then my shoulders, and finally my hip. After some digging, I've discovered the culprit: fascia. I already knew that sore, overworked fascia were to blame for the pain in my feet (hello plantar fasciitis). What I learned is that our fascia actually weaves throughout the entire body, supporting muscles, bones, and even organs. And when the fascia in one area of the body starts complaining, the pain can shift to other areas.
Since learning this, I've added tennis ball stretches to my daily routine (with great success), and I'm hoping to pick up a foam roller and try that soon, too.
Now I'm curious: What have you learned this winter?

An Arkestral Orchestration
The Monuments exhibition is like a brief exploration into Sun Ra
Postedby Cervanté Pope
Born Herman Poole Blount, Sun Ra, in all of his prolific and inspired thinking, was a man who explicated both mythicism and reality in every essence of his existence. The afro-futuristic reality he immersively lived—with the help of a rotating collective of musicians and artists called the Arkestra—was one of substantial influence light-years ahead of its time. Sun Ra's impact never quite hit mainstream during its heyday though revered by many, which is why the Portland Art Museum's current display holds a particular level of cultural importance.
"If you are not a myth whose reality are you? If you are not a reality whose myth are you?" Such existential questions were pondered by a greatly creative mind and in a way, answered by him as well.
Properly titled "Monuments: The Earth Expedition of Sun Ra," the exhibit is the last in a five-exhibit series collaboratively curated by Libby Werbel, founder of the Portland Museum of Modern Art and Bethlehem Daniel, Madenna Ibrahim, Mia O'Connor-Smith and Janessa Narciso of the Deep Underground (DUG), an arts and music collective with a central focus on local talent of color. The title of the exhibit is key—not only does it reaffirm Sun Ra's otherworldly convictions of himself (by furthering his notion of coming to Earth from another planet), but it also communicates the perceived authority in the word "monument."
"Not long after its conception, America began creating monuments to commemorate those who the politically affluent deemed as influential contributors to American life…Let us ask ourselves, what are the new monuments we wish to build?" DUG contemplated in a statement presented alongside the exhibit. "Who are the artists, thinkers, and activists we wish to exalt & preserve for the future?"
In questioning this, DUG and Werbel sought to commemorate Sun Ra as a musician, artist, scholar, philosopher and overall paramount figure of Black expression and liberation. Along with the aid of Mississippi Records' Eric Isaacson, the exhibit is the largest Sun Ra reflective collection yet, offering a multifaceted array of artifacts and memorabilia which included the first live Portland performance by the Arkestra in 29 years. The exhibit in its entirety is captivating, but it's the individual relics that truly communicate Sun Ra's place in time and Black history.
A gold 3D bust of Sun Ra's head and headpiece—created using 2D historical prints—greets visitors as they walk into the 4th floor exhibition. The bust introduces a regality that carries on throughout the rest of the collection. It's especially present in the personal portraits, film stills and posters from his 1974 film Space is the Place. The posters and film stills depict Sun Ra, saxophonist John Gilmore and other members of the Arkestra donning both traditional and futuristic Egyptian garb at various moments throughout the film, which involves Sun Ra landing in Oakland during the height of the Black Power movement and rescuing his people from the subsequent racial turmoil.
These movie pictures lead into the video installation room, which offers a whole other beast of visuals to take in.
The room itself is pretty minimal—a couch, a few wooden chairs, a glass display holding a spread of his "Brotherhood of Light" tarot cards and a projection of the film installation—but there's one main takeaway that gives context into the video and Sun Ra's thought process. "I'm not a part of history, I'm more a part of mystery" is marked across the wall upon entrance, burning itself into your brain as you sit to take in the installation.
That mystery begins to unfold as superimposed images from the inside of a kaleidoscope, the sun, the moon, Saturn and other planets make up the backdrop of performance clips, snippets of interviews and pulled footage of the mistreatment of Black people during the Civil Rights era in the video. Splicing the positive energy of Sun Ra and the Arkestra while playing with shots of Black people getting hosed down by police is intentional, providing a juxtaposed insight into how Black people were perceived and treated during that time versus how he chose to perceive the Blackness of himself and others in his community.
Not everything in the exhibit gives off that kind of weight. The next room holds most of the musical and personal artifacts in the exhibition. Glass cases hold photographs, a numerical and sacred geometry-inscribed cymbal and handcrafted instruments like his space harp and frankiphone. One wall is taken up by 80 of his 270 records. Another displays a mock business card design for El Saturn, one of the first Black-owned independent record labels he started with his business manager Alton Abraham and James Bryant, hanging in between a handmade bronze medallion and the handwritten application Sun Ra submitted to NASA. In the center of the room was a platform resembling that of a spaceship, holding three mannequins all dressed and stylized in garments that once adorned Sun Ra. Each one was just as colorful, glittery and flashy as the next.
Sangi Lama/Portland State Vanguard Draft of business card for El Saturn, one of the first black owned, independent record labels, on display at the Portland Art Museum. Bo Koering/Vanguard.
The last attraction in the exhibit is the listening station, tucked away in a miniature room with all black walls. Placards introduced the sounds that automatically blare from the headphones, which included a live recording of the last Sun Ra and the Arkestra Portland performance at the Pine Street Theater in 1988. "When Sun Comes Out," "Angels and Demons at Play" and "When Angels Speak Love" are also up for open ears.
A walk through "Monuments" proves how different Sun Ra's actuality really was. Everything included in the exhibit is like an afrocentric acid trip experienced through the eyes of an eccentrically visionary soul. We are all only visitors and if anything, this peering into Sun Ra as a being helps to show that.

The Destrehan Wildcats will take on the Terrebonne Tigers tomorrow at 7 p.m. at home for their homecoming game. Last week, the Wildcats cruised to a 48-28 victory over the O. Perry Walker Chargers.Last Friday's game marked the debut of the Edwin Reed show. The senior wide receiver, who missed the first game of the season with a knee injury, had four catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Jerico Nelson also broke out with two touchdowns and 116 yards on 10 carries. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson, after a rough start, finished nine for 19 for 270 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.
The return of Reed was a big part of the Wildcats' win, and the team was glad to see him back. "Edwin is definitely a big part of our offense and it's great to have him back, and we're fortunate this year to have a few great receivers and a great running back to keep teams from keying in on Reed," said Robicheaux.
The Wildcats started slow Friday night, being forced to punt and turning the ball over on an interception in their first two possessions, but fortune smiled on them when Walker's punter accidentally let his knee touch the ground on a punt attempt to give the Wildcats the ball at the Charger three. The Wildcats put it in on the next play on a three-yard Nelson run for a 7-0 lead after a Ryan Rome extra point.
Their next possession found Jefferson finding his rhythm with a 34-yard pass to Reed and then a 22-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Tim Molton. After another Rome kick, the Wildcats led 14-0.
The next drive was also sparked by a Reed catch. After sputtering around midfield, Jefferson found Reed on a third and long for 27 yards, and three plays later the Wildcats were in the endzone on a 22-yard touchdown catch by wide receiver Damaris Johnson. Another Rome extra point gave them a 21-0 lead.
Walker struck back on their next drive with a touchdown reception by Tyler Stratford from quarterback Prentiss Bovia with only a minute left in the first half,but the Wildcats answered before the half was up with a 15-yard run from Jefferson and then a 47-yard touchdown pass to Reed. The Rome kick gave them a 28-6 lead at the half.
The Wildcats hit the ground running in the second half. After a 15-yard Nelson run, Jefferson connected with Reed again for a 72-yard touchdown pass to take a 35-6 lead. On their next possession, Jefferson connected with Nelson on a 41-yard reception and running back Joel Banks took it in from the nine-yard line to give the Wildcats a 42-6 lead.
Walker did some catching up after this with two Bovia touchdown runs, the second coming after an onside kick recovery to make the score 42-20, but, the Wildcats fought right back, taking the ball in again on a 23-yard touchdown run by Nelson. The extra point was blocked, giving the Wildcats a 48-20 lead.
The Chargers would score again on the Wildcats second-team defense on a reception by Wayne Jacobs, but the Wildcats would take the victory 48-28 and improve to 2-0 on the season.
The Wildcats face Terrebonne this week. But this is not a Tiger team like the one that made the playoffs a couple of years ago. This Tiger team has yet to score in two games this season, suffering a 28-0 loss to St. James last Friday. So the Wildcats should have a happy homecoming that will allow the offense to flex its muscles and the defense the chance to post its first shutout of the season.
"We're preparing for Terrebonne just like we prepare for every other team. We're just trying to get better every week," said Robicheaux.

Law group creates a digital toolkit to be used for climate campaigners and those impacted by environmental harms
The Manual for Environmental Justice is an all-island digital toolkit

Get the latest news from Buzz Climate straight to your inbox
A new database has been established to allow academics, activists, NGOs and other groups in civil society connect and find out what others are doing in the environmental movement, north and south of the border.
The Manual of Environmental Justice is an all-Ireland toolkit available online for free that connects people to expert information and points them towards detailed researched.
Manual of Environmental Justice
Two charities came together to set up the Manual, Community Law and Mediation (CLM) in the Republic and Environmental Justice Network Ireland in the North.
Before establishing the Manual the charities carried out research on the gaps that existed in support for environmental and social justice groups. 78 per cent of respondents cited a "lack of accessibility to expertise and/or information" as their main obstacle.
Why Ireland doesn't have a right to the environment
Fridays for Future Ireland: What's been achieved in the four years of youth climate strikes?
The digital toolkit is designed to be easy to use with categories for various environmental issues such as pollution, biodiversity and energy.
CLM provides free legal advice clinics to those who cannot otherwise afford it.
In 2021, CLM established a Centre of Environmental Justice, headed by Clodagh Daly. It offers advice to people with environment-related issues such as their home is prone to flooding or they could be impacted by coastal erosion.
Group of young workers
Daly said that she hopes the Manual will be used by communities impacted by environmental harms as well as those who are working in the environmental justice movement or who would like to be.
"We went to quite a bit of effort to speak to those people when we were putting together the design for the toolkit," Daly said.
"We surveyed almost 60 organisations and researchers, across social justice and environmental organisations [to find] where those gaps were in preventing them from becoming more involved in environmental issues."
Using that data, they designed the Manual to be a resource hub for information on different environmental justice organisations; a map of where those organisations are located (and what specific area of environment they deal with); and a directory of environmental experts.
The Manual contains information for people on both sides of the border.
"What we're trying to do is bring that environmental expertise into communities' hands, because there are really fantastic people working across the movement, whether through, law, science, policy.
"We want to allow their knowledge and their expertise to be shared and for them to have that kind of practical connection that they're able to expand the reach of their work."
Gaps in knowledge
"There's a real lack of accessible information on environmental issues," Daly said.
In the assessment report, done before the Manual was made, it found that most experts and advocates Daly spoke to said that a lack of expertise was the main obstacle in them doing their work.
88 per cent of respondents said their organisation faced barriers in undertaking environmental or climate related work. They cited issues such as under-resourcing, lack of expertise, lack of consideration of intersectionality of issues at policy-making level, absence of clarity in terms of how issues are connected and absence of reliable, accessible information.
Daly described that knowledge gap as "really worrying".
"A lot of these groups are working with communities who are really vulnerable and who are really exposed potentially to a lot of different environmental harms, yet, the organisations advocating on their behalf don't necessarily have the expertise or the resources to move into that space.
"It's really important that more funding and resources are behind these organisations to enable them to step more into this space and that information is made more accessible and that we move away from using jargon and language that might be exclusionary."
Nearly two-thirds of respondents (64 per cent) said they are involved in some cross-border environmental work.
"Nature obviously doesn't know any borders," Daly said, "way better collaboration is needed".
She added that there is a "lot of difficulties in engaging in public participation around environmental decision making".
Daly said that while some of that is due to Ireland's planning system some is also due to consultation system.
"Not enough is being done to make sure that people who are actually going to be most impacted by these decisions are actually being included and their voices are at the table," she said.
The Manual is still growing and Daly encourages those working in an environmental space to apply to be part of the toolkit.

Generally, lottery is a state-run gambling operation that uses the proceeds from ticket sales to finance public projects such as roads, schools, libraries and bridges. The games are usually three or four-digit, and the odds of winning vary. Some lottery games offer a multi-million dollar jackpot prize.
The first known lottery in Europe was held during the Roman Empire. Wealthy noblemen distributed lottery tickets during Saturnalian revels. Lotteries were also held in the Netherlands in the 17th century. In 1758, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts held a lottery to raise money for an "Expedition against Canada." In 1755, the Academy Lottery financed the University of Pennsylvania.
Lotteries were also held during the French and Indian Wars. Many colonies used lotteries to raise funds for public projects such as bridges, canals, and cannons. In 1769, Col. Bernard Moore held a lottery called the "Slave Lottery." He advertised land as a prize. Ultimately, his lottery failed.
The earliest records of lotteries with money prizes date back to the 15th century, in the Low Countries. In China, the Han Dynasty held a game called "drawing of lots" that is believed to have helped finance major government projects.
In the United States, lotteries are currently available in forty-five states and the District of Columbia. The most popular lottery games are Powerball and Mega Millions. In addition, some states have joined together to create multi-state lotteries. Depending on the jurisdiction, lottery annuity lump sums are subject to ordinary income tax treatment or are tax-free.
In the United Kingdom, prizes are usually paid out as a lump sum tax-free. Liechtenstein, on the other hand, pays out prizes as annuities. In addition, some lottery games offer a one-time payment that is less than the advertised jackpot amount. This is because the amount paid out to winners is considered a one-time payment, but the time value of money is considered when income taxes are applied.
Lotteries are also available in Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, and Hawaii. In addition, Australia, Ireland, Germany, and Finland do not levy personal income tax. In addition, South Africa, Kenya, and Mauritius do not participate in national lottery programs.
In recent years, some lottery games have allowed purchasers to choose the numbers themselves. These games can be purchased online or in person. There are also scratch-off tickets available in many countries. Most states allow players to purchase tickets for multi-state lottery games with huge purses. These games require a high number of balls to be drawn, and the odds of winning vary.
Despite their popularity, lotteries were sometimes criticized by contemporary commentators. One reason is that players often spend more money on lottery tickets than they can afford to. In addition, if a person uses lottery strategies, they may not improve the odds much.
Lotteries are available in many countries, including Canada, the United States, Mexico, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and Japan. The games are usually played by selecting six numbers between 1 and 52. The odds of winning a jackpot are around one in 292 million.

Your Council of Governors
Are governors the same as members?
In order to run during elections as potential public governors, nominees must be members of the Trust, whereas staff governor nominees need to be employed by UHS. Staff are automatically enrolled as members when they are recruited by the Trust. Governors act as representatives of their constituencies and their members so can be contacted by both members and non-members if there are issues that need raising at a board level. Part of a governor's role is holding the board to account.
Do I have to run as a governor if I become a member?
There is no pressure to run as a governor, although if you are interested and would like to know more we can of course provide you with some more information. Being a member is about staying up to date with the latest news and developments from the hospital, choosing to attend focus groups or meetings on topics you are interested in and having access to a great range of events held throughout the year.
Choosing to become a governor is a big decision as there are time commitments and responsibilities after being successfully elected. However, previous and current governors will tell you how rewarding the role can be as well. If you are interested in putting yourself forward as a governor, please contact UHSgovernor@uhs.nhs.uk
How can I get in touch with or meet the governor representing my area?
If you would like to find out who your local governors are you can visit the main Council of Governors page.
If you would like to contact your governor, you can do so by emailing UHSgovernor@uhs.nhs.uk
The public are also welcome at Council of Governors meetings and Board meetings. Dates of these can be found on the UHS website.
Are young people represented on the Council of Governors?
Yes they are! We have two under 21 representative positions on the Council, including one from the University of Southampton and another from a local college. Our aim is to start holding more focus groups for young people about their experiences using the hospital and their views.
How can a member of staff become a member?
Staff are automatically registered as members of the Trust when their employment begins. There are staff governors who represent staff at the Council of Governors and these are split into four categories:
Other clinical staff
Non-clinical and support staff.
If you would like to find out who your staff governor is, please visit the Council of Governors page.
Just like public governors, staff governors are elected into the position.
How much does it cost to register as a member?
It's free and it only takes a few minutes to sign up!
How do you handle my data?
In order to become a Trust member there is certain data we need to hold on you in order to confirm you are eligible; this includes your name, date of birth and address. Due to recent changes with GDPR we have updated our privacy statement.
Read the full statement here.
Are you able to send newsletters in the post?
Due to the cost of printing and posting newsletters, we now send the majority of communications to members via email. If you're a member but haven't provided us with an email address, you can do so by emailing uhsmember@uhs.nhs.uk
You can also download the bi-monthly newsletter from the Trust members page.

Pteroidichthys noronhai, Noronha's scorpionfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. It is found in the  central western Pacific Ocean.

Taxonomy
Pteroidichthys noronhai was first formally described as Pteropelor noronhai in 1938 by the American ichthyologist Henry Weed Fowler with the type locality given as near Hong Kong. The genus Pteroelor was subsequently recognised as a synonym of Pteroidichthys. The specific name honours  who was director of the  in Madeira.

Description
Pteroidichthys noronhai  has 12 rigid spines and 8-9soft rays in its dorsal fin with 3 spines and 5 soft rays in its anal fin. It has a relatively short snout, which avareages 15.3% of its standard length and is shorter than the distance between the rearmost part of the orbit and the rear edge of the operculum. The rearmost part of the maxilla reached beyond a vertical line through the centre of the pupil. It has poorly developed tentacles above the eyes and just a small number of tantacles on the body and fins. There are well developed spinjes with pointed tips on the lacrimal and suborbital bones. This species has no clear black blotch on the front part of the soft rayed part of the dorsal fin and attans a maximum total length of . This is a brown fish with indistinct darker markings on the head and on the back at the base of each part of the dorsal fin. The fin membrane of the spiny part of the dorsal fin is black at its base and grey distally, the membrane of the soft rayed part is blotched with grey and is darker grey terminally, The other fins are greyish with black margins.

Distribution and habitat
Pteroidichthys noronhai is found in the Indo-West Pacific and has been recorded from widely separated localities. It has been found in southern Japan, southern China, Saya de Malha Bank, Taiwan, .the Philippines, northwestern Australia, the Chesterfield Islands and Vanuatu. It is a demersal fish found at depths between  in areas of sandy substrate.

National Citizen Service Champion School
We are proud to receive National Citizen Service Champion School award.
Devonport High School for Girls is proud to have received National Citizen Service (NCS) Champion School status for 2015–16. The award comes from the government's NCS Trust, which includes David Cameron and Theresa May, in recognition of our support for the scheme and the number of our students that seized the once in a lifetime opportunity on offer. A total of 35 Year 11 and 12 students successfully completed the NCS programme, which involves two weeks of residential adventure challenges, followed by a week planning a Social Action Project in the local community. The culmination of the programme is to volunteer 30 hours to carry out the Social Action Project, all of which develops employability skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, organisation and resilience.
The award was presented by Dwain Morgan, the Social Inclusion Manager at Argyle Community Trust, who run the NCS programme in Plymouth. Dwain also spoke to the current Year 11 students to encourage them to participate this summer, with seventeen students already signed up.
The NCS is a great way to develop skills to show what our students can do in addition to their academic achievements, whilst meeting new friends and making a positive contribution to the community. We look forward to continuing our support of Argyle Community Trust to offer the National Citizen Service to all of our students.
Dr Parry and Mr Lamb

Art contest for societal progress displays work
Exhibit features pieces created by students in variety of styles, tones

'Don't Shoot' by Lydia Suh hangs in Gallery 3 of the Fine Arts building Tuesday.
SARINA SHARPE, reporter and columnist
The annual Arts for Social Change competition will exhibit student work in Gallery 3 of the Fine Arts building until Mar. 1.
Kenzie Koehn, former project coordinator at WSU, and Ana Rodriguez-Vivaldi, associate dean of student affairs and global education in the College of Arts and Sciences, started the competition, according to the press release. They molded it into a celebration of student art.
The purpose of this competition is to celebrate the creative works that students submit in honor of MLK, said Lauren Jasmer, a WSU administrative assistant who helped coordinate the event.
"Art is very powerful," Jasmer said, "and it's a way for students and others to creatively express their feelings, their perceptions, their experiences."
Jasmer said that organizers want the competition to have a broad scope. They accepted any type of submission for the competition, which had four available categories to submit to: Remembering MLK, Social Justice in Action, Community-Building at WSU and Campus Civic Poet, according to the press release.
Organizers centered the competition on student expression, Jasmer said, and confining artists to one specific theme would have been too limiting to potential submissions.
Jasmer said a panel of faculty members from the Martin Luther King committee, the English department and the Fine Arts department reviewed every piece.
"Sometimes there's one that just speaks to them," she said. "Sometimes … you see [a piece] and immediately you're like, 'Oh, my gosh, that's totally it.' "
She said in years past, the competition submissions have been available for one day only in the CUB. However, organizers wanted to give students more time to see the exhibit.
"We need to … honor them," Jasmer said, "and [say], 'Look at how awesome they are!' "

2011 (I have aged a bit since.)
More recent...
but I have shaved since.
Every time I see some one wearing a NASA shirt, I say to myself, "I want that". No not the t-shirt, I could get that at Target or the Science Center (or online at a million places). The career/life. The: "I work to grow our knowledge, learning and access to Space". But...
I'm Not Quite a Rocket Scientist...
Ok, so I have an Aerospace Engineering degree, but I would never get in any plane I'd design. The feedback was "that's... interesting..." aka "don't ever build that in real life" for my last design. But we are getting ahead of ourselves in the story.
Growing up I was never the top of the class academically or athletically, but I did end up getting an academic scholarship to USC and got lots of leadership experience as the Captain (2 times) of my High School Track Team and (1 time) for the Cross Country team. But I really loved planes and rockets, JPL and Mars. Hence getting my AE, and wanting to get back to Flight/Space. (getting ahead of myself again)
Huntington Beach:
My first taste of research came between my graduating from High School and starting Freshman year of college (2002). As a field research assistant I took ocean water samples (rhodamine dye had been dumped where it would disperse in the ocean outfall plume) and collected (labeled) grapefruit (yes real grapefruit) that were also dumped, sometimes bartering with beach goers who had picked them up when they washed ashore. Essentially, data recording, though really it was mostly waking up really early and getting a sunburn.
https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/ofr0362
Port of Los Angeles:
I worked with the same group (at USC) in 2004 & 2005 on a research project to map and analyze the outfall of the water/waste in the Chavez Channel into the Port of LA. My first project was to devise a security/containment device to house 3 (separate) automatic water sampling devices. Though they cost $30,000+ each, they needed to remain in place while awaiting a "wet weather event". Utilizing repurposed 50 gal. steel drums we were able to cut access holes in the bottom to feed the sampling tube out, a shelf to hold the sampler off the ground, and access locations for additional instruments. The whole (weather resistant) system could be locked and locked down to remain in place for deployment when rain occurred as well as operate while locked and unattended.
In the summer of 2005 I assisted with the deployment of the units, acting as Assistant Project Manager, point of contact to the Prime, and deploying and troubleshooting the water sampling (some calculations were off and changes needed to be made "on the fly"). Water samples were successfully taken to determine the concentration of (rhodamine dye) that was inserted upstream. Additionally I participated in GIS data gathering and automated photo stitching of aerial photographs to provide a visual reference of the dye flowing into the harbor.
After graduating University of Southern California, B.S. Aerospace Engineering (2006), I took a job as a Sales Engineer for a Manufacturer's Representative company in the RF/MW industry. Having no experience in Electrical Engineering (much less RF) I learned on the job and improved my interpersonal skills (sales makes you talk to people).
Reynolds Sales & Consulting:
I started RSC in 2010 due to a loss of employment during the recession. This enabled me to learn many additional business skills, contracting with employees, vendors, and customers. Ultimately the "Sales" portion of the business was too impacted by the sequestration in 2014.
RSC was contracted with International Cooling Enterprises to take a (hand made) lab validated, self-cooling panel and make it manufacturable in volume. One problem, the data on how it was made had been lost. We successfully reverse engineered the cooling panel (utilizing liquid water vaporization in a sealed vacuum and a desiccant material to remove moisture and continue the vaporization and cooling) and designed it for mass production. At this point funding ran out before a factory could be built.
I briefly tried to go more into sales (Real Estate), which didn't work for me and did some business research & consulting (optical lenses for indoor plant growth).
Daico Industries:
At Daico, one advantage is that while I am Technical "Sales" Manager, I am also the Program Manager and have been able to guide multiple programs, such as the IFFA Phase Shifter for Patriot (FFF redesign) to production and a higher power, smaller, lower cost, Phase Shifter for LTAMDS from initial concept, though 3 design iterations, into Production Representative status, delivering over 225 units. This and other Program Management opportunities (SPY3/Zumwalt switch, Sentinel Switch, an Air Force Transmitter SBIR, and other undisclosed) have shown me that Engineering/Technical Program Management is something I have a skill set for. I manage contracts and go in between customers, engineers, materials/procurement, production, & test, throughout a contract and deliver.
Now I want to get back to Aerospace in a role that goes all the way to space. The passion I had all the way back at the beginning.

AU Alumna Advocates for Climate Refugees
Ober 2015
Kayly Ober came to American University to become a diplomat, but a course in International Development sparked an interest in the challenges people face in how and where they live.
Ober, SIS '08, instead found her calling advocating for increased investment in disaster relief as climate-change disasters such as cyclones, fires, and monsoons created climate refugees.
"There's a spectrum of different types of movement related to climate change and its impacts," said Ober, the senior advocate and program manager of Refugees International's Climate Displacement Program. "But we can see very clearly that climate change has a role to play in when people make decisions to move."
Ober, a third-generation immigrant, interned with the World Resources Insitute during her junior and senior years, focusing on energy governance and climate change. The internship, along with her classroom education, helped her understand the intersection of climate change and migration and led to her first post-graduate job as a program assistant at the Wilson Center's Environmental Change and Security program.
"Because of the location of AU in Washington, DC, I was afforded the opportunity to have internships at different organizations that helped shape my career," Ober says.
Ultimately, Ober landed a position at Refugees International, one of the only organizations in the world with a program dedicated to climate and displacement issues. There, she researches post-disaster crises and recommends ways for policy makers to support displaced people. Recent projects have focused on the impacts of Cyclone Harold in the Pacific, the collision of Cyclone Amphan and the monsoon flooding in Bangladesh and India.
As sudden-onset disasters become more frequent and intense, leading to protracted displacement, Ober is changing interest into action. She is a compelling advocate for increased investment in disaster relief and recovery and the decentralization of humanitarian operations.
...We can see very clearly that climate change has a role to play in when people make decisions to move.

Drug Pfizer Cuts Outlook, Ends Development of Cholesterol Drug
Pfizer Cuts Outlook, Ends Development of Cholesterol Drug
November 1, 2016 Sristy

AUSTEN HUFFORD
Updated Nov. 1, 2016 11:48 a.m. ET
Pfizer Inc. ended its bid to return to the multibillion-dollar cholesterol market that long fueled the company, halting development of a once-promising drug candidate amid safety concerns and mounting pricing pressures confronting the industry.
The New York-based pharmaceutical company on Tuesday said it would take a charge of 4 cents a share in the fourth quarter as a result of its decision to end development of the cholesterol compound, called bococizumab.
Bococizumab, which was in phase 3 testing, belonged to a class of new cholesterol-lowering injections blocking a protein known as PCSK9 that Wall Street had initially thought could be as much as a $20 billion market.
But drugs already being sold—Repatha from Amgen Inc., and Praluent by Sanofi SA and partner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc.—have struggled to meet original sales expectations, partly due to their list prices above $14,000 a year.
Health insurers and drug-benefit managers have steered patients to using low-priced, generic versions of statins like Lipitor, which was once the top-selling drug in the world and a longtime driver of Pfizer's growth until losing patent protection in 2011.
Repatha and Praluent are selling at an annual rate of $312 million, RBC Capital Markets says, less than what analysts originally expected.
Pfizer CEO Ian Read said during a conference call the company decided to scrap bococizumab's development partly because testing of the drug showed its efficacy declined over time and it had some safety issues.
Another factor was the restrictions that health insurers and drug-benefit managers have placed on use of the PCSK9 drugs on sale, "which have meaningfully dampened our initial expectations for the market potential," he said.
Pricing pressures on the drug industry have hurt stocks recently as investors fear companies won't be able to command the prices they had, especially given the criticism politicians have leveled during this campaign season.
Mr. Read said he expects the political rhetoric to subside after the elections end, and "good public policy will prevail," reflecting the value of the medicines sold by Pfizer and other drug companies.
He said patients have been hurt by the decisions that health insurers have made to raise out-of-pocket costs, and said patients may be better served by finding other ways to lower drug prices than the rebates that companies currently offer.
Although certain companies have raised drug list prices substantially, Mr. Read said Pfizer has acted responsibly. "I don't believe there is any reason for Pfizer to change its approach to pricing as we sit here today," he said.
The bococizumab charge contributed to Pfizer's reduced guidance for the rest of the year, along with sales lost due to generic competition for drugs losing their patent protection and the impact of a stronger dollar, especially in Venezuela.
For the full year, Pfizer said it now expects adjusted earnings of $2.38 to $2.43 a share, reducing the high end of the range by 5 cents. It also now expects revenue of between $52 billion to $53 billion, increasing the low end of the revenue forecast by $1 billion.
For the third quarter, Pfizer reported a profit of $1.32 billion, or 21 cents a share, down from $2.13 billion, or 34 cents a share a year prior. Excluding certain items, adjusted earnings were 61 cents a share, up from 60 cents.
Revenue rose 7.9% to $13.05 billion.

Maximal is the new minimal. Or so one could assume from the third Riley R. Reinhold mix, which keeps many of the lean angles Trapez helped popularize while beefing them up with saucy, almost progressive synths and hilariously ridiculous vocals. The former sound appears on tracks from Reinhold with Steve Barnes ("Mondrian") and Matthias Rahn ("Programmed Society"), while the latter update comes courtesy of two tracks by Und, including "Racehorse," with an absurd upper-class accent recounting tales of jockeys. Best of all, the set is absolutely dead-on, with devastatingly straight mixes reminding you that sometimes less is more. Or is it now more is less?
