Confession: I Chose My Career Path Because of The West Wing
By Samantha Jaffe
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
I have a confession to make. It's embarrassing, but here goes. I picked my career path because of The West Wing. I could say that I got hooked on the whole "going into politics" thing after reading Slate religiously or taking a Constitutional Law seminar during my senior year of college — but I'd be lying. It was Aaron Sorkin's always-witty banter and the incredible ensemble performances of my favorite show.
And, the fact is, I am not alone. I have two friends who both trace their initial desire to go into medicine to watching Grey's Anatomy. For the record: one just took the MCAT and has an incredible research position with a group that's analyzing the allocation of mental health resources among the homeless population in Toronto, and the other is working for a prestigious orthopedic group in Los Angeles. I know someone who swears that Law and Order SVU is why she now works for CASA. Then there's me: I'm freelancing, applying to law school, working as an intern for a State Assembly member, and trying to get on a campaign. Move over CJ Cregg, I'm going to be the new sassy, suit-wearing, smart-as-hell press secretary in town.
So, maybe the fact that fictional characters have truly and deeply shaped the career ambitions of me and my friends isn't actually a bad thing. It's more one of those proverbial "chicken or egg" questions: Did we gravitate towards those shows because we were already interested in the subject matter? Or did the shows make us interested? And, honestly, seeing as we're not doing all that badly in our quests to become Callie Torres, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, or Sam Seaborn (because, y'know, gender doesn't have to dictate which fictional character I would like to be, right?) perhaps seeing these idealized versions of our chosen careers is what has led us on the path towards career success.
Yes, these shows have created unrealistic portrayals of incredibly glamorous universes for jobs that, by definition, aren't glamorous. Doctors during residency don't sleep, let alone have as much sex as the characters on Grey's do. They don't save every patient who is nice or nice-looking. White House staffers do not shoot the shit with colleagues while constantly moving, they don't always get to focus on important or interesting policy (someone does have to get those laws regarding disabled parking placards passed), nor do any of them (I'm fairly sure) look like Rob Lowe. Our lives, even if we do achieve the incredible professional success we're shooting for, are not going to look like those shows that, for better or for worse, inspired us. We know that, at least intellectually. We also know that regardless of the dubious start to our career aspirations, what matters is how hard we're willing to work to get there, and that rests squarely on our own shoulders.
And perhaps its those idealized portrayals of these jobs is what allows us to keep trying. We overlook the time spent living at home after graduation and working a minimum wage job, the rejection emails from potential employers, etc. We forget that just because we are college graduates we are not guaranteed, nor do we necessarily deserve, "good jobs". As someone working at a yoga studio with a college degree, I should be aware of this. But, rightly or wrongly, in my head this is still a temporary situation. I am onto bigger and better things. I am not one of those "higher skilled people doing a lower skill job" mentioned in the New York Times. In my own mind I am a future White House staffer. And it is that goal that keeps me motivated.
Who cares what started us down these paths? It's how far we get that's important. And we're determined to get pretty far. Give us a few years. We'll let you know what the real day-to-day of those worlds are like.

For Immediate Release, January 21, 2010
Contact: Mollie Matteson, Center for Biological Diversity, (802) 434-2388 (office), (802) 318-1487 (cell)
Emergency Petitions Filed to Close Caves and Save Bats From Extinction
WASHINGTON— The Center for Biological Diversity today filed two emergency petitions with the federal government in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly bat disease and step up government action to save two rare bat species from extinction. The first petition asks federal agencies to close all bat caves under their jurisdiction and asks Interior Secretary Salazar to pass regulations restricting travel between bat caves under any jurisdiction. Such measures are necessary until it can be shown that people are not a vector for the newly emergent bat disease known as white-nose syndrome, and that measures to eliminate risk of spread are effective. The second petition asks for the eastern small-footed bat and the northern long-eared bat, both hit hard by white-nose syndrome, to be protected as endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act.
"White-nose syndrome has decimated bats in the Northeast and is quickly spreading to other regions," said Mollie Matteson, a conservation advocate with the Center. "Our government needs to increase its response by an order of magnitude to offer any hope for bats in the eastern United States and to ensure that the disease does not spread across the country."
The Center's actions come as scientists and wildlife agencies brace themselves for a fourth winter of bat deaths across the eastern United States. Since white-nose syndrome was first documented in caves in the Albany, New York area in early 2007, the disease – since confirmed as a previously unknown fungus – has spread to bat populations in a total of nine states. Biologists believe it will show up in new areas this winter, and may reach some of the densest and most diverse bat populations in the world, in the South and Midwest, within the next year or two. Thus far, over a million bats are dead from the syndrome.
"This is the worst wildlife catastrophe the country has seen since the extinction of the passenger pigeon," said Matteson. "Bats eat millions of insects every year, meaning their loss could have far-reaching consequences for people and for crops."
The Center is requesting that the secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture, and Defense close all bat-inhabited caves and mines on federal lands throughout the continental United States to prevent the possible human transmission of the fungus that causes white-nose syndrome and to ban travel between caves with bats under any jurisdiction. Scientists suspect that people are partially responsible for the fungus' spread and may even have introduced it to North America. A recent genetic analysis of a white fungus found on a bat in France confirmed that it is identical to the disease-causing fungus in the United States. However, European bats do not appear to become ill from the fungus.
"Closing nonessential access to caves is a necessary precaution until white-nose syndrome is better understood and it can be determined that entering caves is safe," said Matteson. The group supports white-nose syndrome research in caves, and has also asked that a national fund be established to acquire and conserve important bat caves from willing sellers.
The two bat species the Center is petitioning to have listed as endangered were already rare prior to the appearance of white-nose syndrome and are now at grave risk of extinction.
"Without aggressive efforts to secure their habitat and stem further losses from all causes, including probable human transmission of the new bat disease, these bats may soon join the sad list of American species we know only from textbooks and museums," said Matteson.

Fish aggregating devices (FADs)
Is FAD fishing sustainable? Find out why FADs are so frequently used to catch tuna and how they can be used sustainably.
What are FADs?
Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) are man-made, usually floating wooden structures with hanging nets to attract fish. These rafts can either be free floating (known as drifting FADs or dFADs) or anchored to the seabed (known as anchored FADs or aFADs).
Some tuna fisheries also target natural structures or objects, including free-floating logs (tree trunks) and large marine animals, such as whale sharks, around which fish congregate. This is referred to as 'natural-associated' or 'object-associated' fishing.
Natural FAD, Anchored FAD (aFAD) and drifting FAD (dFAD)
Drifting FADs are commonly used alongside purse seine nets.
According to the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), FADs are used in 65% of purse seine sets and in 40% of the world's skipjack catch.
Why do tuna fisheries use FADs?
Tuna are highly migratory, ranging over thousands of miles. Some fishers track tuna or follow their migration in order to catch them - this is called 'free school' fishing. Other fishers use FADs to help them locate and catch the tuna more easily.
By deploying their nets and casting their lines close to FADs, tuna fishers can significantly increase their catches, reducing the time spent at sea and therefore the cost of catching tuna.
What are the problems with using FADs?
A wide variety of marine life including turtles and sharks congregate around FADs. These species can become entangled in the floating nets attached to FADs.
Such "non-target" species can also be caught as bycatch (accidental catch) in the nets or lines fishers cast from their boats to catch the tuna. As a result, bycatch can be high when fishing around FADs, particularly in comparison to free school fishing, where nets are set in the open water.
High amounts of bycatch can have detrimental impacts on the ecosystem. FADs can also increase the capture of juvenile tuna, putting the sustainability of some tuna stocks at risk.
However, species interact differently with different types of FADs, and different fishing techniques can make dramatic differences in the level of bycatch.
Source: ISSF, 2019. International Workshop on Mitigating Environmental Impacts of Tropical Tuna Purse Seine Fisheries
In addition to bycatch concerns, the potential effects of FADs on the migratory patterns of tuna are the subject of ongoing research. The impacts of lost or derelict FADs on habitats such as coral reefs and in contributing to ocean plastic are also a concern.
With an estimated 81,000-121,000 FADs deployed worldwide each year, the cumulative impact of FADs can be damaging if not managed effectively.
What can be done to reduce the impacts of FADs?
Significant progress has been made in recent years to reduce the negative impacts of FADs. Tuna fisheries, in partnership with research institutions, are developing technological improvements in FAD design. For example, some fisheries are adopting the use of biodegradable and non-entangling drifting FADs to reduce their persistence in the marine environment and reduce the capture of non-target species.
These efforts, combined with improved tracking and data collection, licensing and registration of FADs, monitoring and retrieval of old FADs, and purse seine gear modifications, have enabled fisheries using FADs to reduce their impacts to levels at which sustainable certification is a possibility.
In 2018, the MSC awarded a Student Scholarship Grant to a postgraduate student who identified a new method of tracking anchored FADs in Indonesian waters. The aFads used by small-scale Indonesian fishers are locally known as "rumpon" and often consist of coconut or palm leaves used to attract fish with their aromas.
Despite new government regulations being introduced to manage aFADs in the western Pacific Ocean, rumpon remain largely undocumented and overfishing can quickly occur. Analysis showed that by engaging the local fishing community to voluntarily fix satellite trackers to their vessels, FAD use patterns can be identified and the chance of overfishing reduced.
What is the MSC's approach to FADs?
Certification to the MSC Fisheries Standard is based on comprehensive assessment of the impacts of a particular fishery and the environment within which it operates. Because of the variations in the impacts that different FADs and fishing techniques can have in different marine environments, the MSC Fisheries Standard does not include specific requirements for FAD use, nor does it prohibit the use of FADs.
To achieve MSC certification all fisheries, regardless of their fishing techniques, must be assessed as having rates of bycatch which do not pose a long-term threat to any species within the ecosystem where they operate.
In the past, few fisheries using drifting FADs have been assessed to the MSC Fisheries Standard due to a lack of understanding of the impacts, or high bycatch rates. More recently, however improvements in FAD design, research, and management have made assessment possible.
Growing sustainability in FAD tuna fishing
The first tuna fishery using drifting FADs achieved MSC certification in 2018. Working with the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission and Seychelles authorities, the Echebastar purse seine tuna fishery has actively sought to reduce bycatch of non-target species by reducing numbers of FADs, deploying only non-entangling FADs and ensuring the rapid release of non-target species. The fishery has continued to make improvements since certification.
In 2020, alongside research partners AZTI, Echebastar received an Ocean Stewardship Fund grant to support these improvements. The project has successfully tagged 28 silky sharks with satellite tags in order to better understand post-release mortality rates and further improve bycatch mitigation. It is also supporting the FAD Watch initiative in the Seychelles which intercepts lost FADs to prevent impacts to local coral reefs.
Several other purse seine tuna fisheries that catch tuna using drifting FADs have also since achieved certification, including the PNG Fishing Industry Association's purse seine Skipjack & Yellowfin Tuna Fishery in May 2020 and the WPSTA Western and Central Pacific Skipjack and Yellowfin Purse Seine Fishery in June 2021.
We believe that by incentivising sustainable tuna fishing, the MSC program can be part of an evolution to enabling more sustainable fishing practices. In the case of tuna fishing this is driving uptake of new ways of reducing impacts of FAD use – and stricter controls to ensure that these are followed.
We see considerable research being undertaken by the fishing industry to reduce the environmental impacts of FADs. Through these innovations and improvements, we believe that fishers can continue to catch tuna in a way which is both profitable and sustainable.

Toyota India localization levels to touch 80% once new engine plant starts production
Jigani, a place on the outskirts of Bengaluru, where Toyota's new diesel engine plant is being readied. The plant is built at an investment of INR 800 crores and will have initial capacity of 100,000 units annually.
2016 Toyota Fortuner Render
Set to commence trial production soon, the diesel engines produced at this new plant will be making their way into the next generation 2016 Innova and Fortuner, both are confirmed for launch in 2016. This move of manufacturing diesel engine in India, will result in Toyota India localization levels increase to 80%, thus supporting PM Narendra Modi's Make in India campaign. As on date, Toyota imports its diesel engines from Japan.
Toyota's diesel engine plant is built on the premises of Kirloskar Toyoda Textile Machinery, because the area at their car and engine plant in Bidadi is almost used-up. Toyota Bidadi plant features two car production units and one petrol engine production unit. Built at an investment of INR 500 crores, the petrol engine manufacturing unit was set up in 2011, through its subsidiary, Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts.
Must Read – Toyota reveals new generation diesel engines for Innova and Fortuner
Toyota had augmented production operations at its two vehicle manufacturing units in Bidadi which currently stands at 3,10,000 units per annum. It is from the first plant that the company produces Innova and Fortuner while models such as Etios, Corolla Altis and Camry are produced from the second plant in Bidadi. Coming into the country via CBU route are Land Cruiser, Prado and Prius.
No new car launches are being planned by Toyota during the year, with the company concentrating only on marketing existing products and increasing dealer network.

Co-operation in Blackshaw Head began in 1875 when 34 local residents got together and raised start-up capital of £306.
Opposition from neighbouring societies, however, nearly put paid to the project before it had even started.
Heptonstall Co-op was opposed and Hebden Bridge Co-op, which had initially promised support, later withdrew it claiming it was unlikely that the fledgling society could ever pay a bonus. Undaunted, a meeting was held at the Shoulder of Mutton.
Residents flocked to sign up and the society was formed on September 25 1875. Members no doubt blew a raspberry in the direction of Hebden Bridge!

Q: SQLITE corruption?- DELETE FROM toolList WHERE toolId=".$id something is seriously wrong with my SQLITE
I included echo $dbquery to see exactly what query is being run, and the statment seems correct - but when trying to view the db after, it comes up blank! I've checked the actuall file, and theres still data in the db file, so maybe it corrupting it?

the query prints as: DELETE FROM toolList WHERE toolId=1289
function Up($id){
  global $dbhandle, $dbresult;
  $dbquery = "DELETE FROM toolList WHERE toolId=".$id;
  $dbresult = sqlite_query($dbhandle, $dbquery);
  echo $dbquery;
  }
< a href="'.Up($data['toolId']).'">DELETE!< /a>

Thanks

A: It is highly unlikely that you corrupted a sqlite db during normal operation. Your question is a bit unclear:

*

*What happens if you run a select statement from the sqlite3 command line utility against your DB.

*Keep in mind that sqlite does not shrink a DB file untill you issue a vaccum command.

*Also it looks like you are running your function to display the href for the link, but the function does the delete! So if you ran this over a list of items once, then they would all be gone.

The brown bag days are over! Time for using cute lunch bags... say "Hello" to our Bon Appetit!
This American Made, high quality, quilted fabric lunch bag zips open to a fully polyethylene lined interior space with large pocket, perfect for a freeze pack.
Pack your perishables in a pretty print complete with a quick grab handle, a back quilted pocket and an ID window for a lovely labeled lunch.
Could be just a bit bigger.
Holds more than you think it would. Love it.
Just purchased this lunch bag in the Soho Pattern about a week ago. I love the thought that went into making this bag. It has pockets on the back for your utensils and I have a snap container I use all the time, perfect fit. If you carry your lunch to work I would recommend you consider this lunch bag.
I am handicapped and in a wheel chair (powered) and had no where to carry things this is perfect large enough with a small handle to put on the control arm has a great pocket out side to hold my cell phone. love it.
Not only is this the cutest bag, it holds more than you expect. I have used many lunch bags before and this bag seems easier to carry with the smaller handle. I get a lot of compliments with my Stephanie Dawn products. Keep up the great work.
I love my new lunch bag. Just the right size and my favorite fabric. Will be using it for years to come. Since I like also having a shoulder strap, I crocheted one out of a matching color yarn. Super awesome. Love that it is made in the USA. Thank you!
I have received many compliments on my lunch bag - I like the fact that it fits the containers I take to work for lunch and am able to put a cold pack in there also and it keeps it cold. I also like the fact that it is made in the good old USA. I will definetly be ordering more items from you.
I have purchased three of these bags. The first I carried to work to keep my lunch in-it fits a lot of food in, but it is small, so it fits in even a mini-fridge with no problem. It doubles as a makeup/toiletries bag when I travel. I recently got another for myself to take to work, and one for my mother to do the same. She puts a small ice pack in there, and her food is kept cold all day! We both adore this little bag.
This is the fourth lunch tote I have bought from Stephanie Dawn! One to match everything else I have ordered. The tote holds everything needed and then some! Love it!
Cute design and just the right size - not too big and not too small. It fits a sandwich container, fruit, drink and still has room for more without being bulky. Love love love it!

New research: Business responsibility in crimes against humanity in Argentina
The report "Business responsibility in crimes against humanity: The repression of workers during state terrorism" presents evidence confirming that the owners, executives and managers of some companies actively participated in violating the human rights of workers during Argentina's last dictatorship (1976-1983).
Owners, executives and managers of some prominent companies actively participated in the human rights violations committed against workers during Argentina's 1976-1983 dictatorship, according to evidence set forth in the newly published study "Business responsibility in crimes against humanity: The repression of workers during state terrorism."
This two-volume report (available in Spanish) is part of the memory, truth and justice process in Argentina, which began with the 1985 trial of the military juntas and the Nunca Más report and included the innovation of Truth Trials when amnesty laws and presidential pardons stymied criminal prosecution. Once the amnesties were definitively scrapped in 2005, hundreds of judicial investigations and trials were reopened or launched. This included probes into the responsibility of civilians – judicial officials, clergy members and company executives, among others – in these crimes against humanity.
Nearly 900 victims of state terrorism were identified in the 25 companies researched in the report, 354 of whom were forcibly disappeared and 65 of whom were murdered. The majority of victims were workers and ex-workers of these same companies who participated in processes of conflict and labor organization. The companies under study cut across sectors and regions of the country and include units of international corporations such as FIAT, Ford Motor Company and Mercedes-Benz and Argentine companies such as Acindar, Dálmine-Siderca, Ingenio Ledesma, Molinos Río de la Plata and La Veloz del Norte. Today almost all of these firms face judicial investigation or proceedings, at varying stages of progress.
The most extreme manifestation of the widespread militarization of work spaces during the dictatorship was the installation of clandestine detention and torture centers on company premises. There is also evidence that some company executives were present during the abduction, captivity and torture of workers. More common was the vast deployment of military and security forces on factory grounds; some corporate officials explicitly sought this military intervention and provided logistical and/or financial support. These types of coordination to repress workers, on their own merit and in the context of state terrorism, constitute human rights violations.
The report on business responsibility was prepared by CELS, the Area of Economy and Technology of the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO-Argentina), and the Truth and Justice Program and Human Rights Secretariat – both of which belong to the Argentine Ministry of Justice and Human Rights.
The research was presented on December 3 in Buenos Aires, one week after the national Congress created a bicameral commission to investigate economic and financial complicity with the dictatorship – a move backed by five human rights experts from the United Nations, among them the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence.
The responsibility of economic actors in rights violations has been the focus of concern and debate in numerous international forums. The process to elaborate an international legally binding instrument on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights began recently, with the intergovernmental Working Group that was established by the UN Human Rights Council holding its first session last July.

This is somewhat related to the content of this thread, so rather than starting a new thread, I decided to post here.Ace, I hope you don't mind.
I tried the 200 grain Federals out today along with a few other brands. They were 200 grain Enforcer that I got from either Que's or the Bullet Stop, and some PMC 180 grain JHP rounds. It must not have been my day today, because my marksmanship was absolutely horrible. If it had been a social encounter, I think the safest place to have been would have been in the position of the guy I was shooting at, it was that bad.. I used my 629 Mountain Gun.
Anyway, all of the round went 'bang' and the only noticeable difference between the different brands was the felt recoil., with the PMC stuff being slightly milder than the other two. As for my marksmanship, it was, I'm certain, just an 'off' day. I've had them before.
Got a little extra ammo, I may spend some time on the range checking the gun at 50 yards or so, with both the 255gr and 200gr HCWC's.. I'd expect the shots to be a little low, but that's about my limit for deers with a pistol, so hopefully it will be within the proper parameters.

Paraguay's First Ecstasy Lab Shows Brazil Criminal Migration
CRIMINAL MIGRATION / 25 APR 2014 BY MIMI YAGOUB EN
Authorities in Paraguay have discovered the country's first reported ecstacy laboratory, in a case that highlights both the increasing popularity of synthetic drugs in the region and the growing influence of Brazil's organized crime in the country.
The laboratory -- which was also being used to process cocaine -- was discovered in Ciudad del Este by Paraguay's Anti-Narcotics Police, reported EFE. It had allegedly been operating for two months and delivered drugs to Brazil, the United States and Europe. The laboratory had the capacity to produce 1,000 ecstasy pills per hour, an amount worth $30,000 in Paraguay.
SEE ALSO: Coverage of Paraguay
Two Brazilian chemists, who had previously been arrested in a drug processing lab in their home country, were detained alongside two Paraguayans. Police seized 37kg of cocaine, nearly 3,300 ecstasy pills and drug processing equipment.
In early April, Paraguay's National Anti-drugs Secretariat (SENAD) announced the country had become a "distribution center" for synthetic drugs destined for Brazil and Argentina. SENAD said the activity was based in the Triple Frontier region where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina meet.
As well as being the region's number one marijuana producer, Paraguay's shared borders with Argentina and Brazil -- both significant drug markets and export points -- and coca producer Bolivia makes it an important transit nation for cocaine, with signs processing of the drug may also be increasing. At the heart of this dynamic sits the Triple Frontier -- centered on Ciudad del Este -- where porous borders make interdiction difficult and invite incursions from foreign criminal actors.
Among the many foreign groups known to operate in Paraguay, Brazilian organized crime is particularly prominent, with the Rio de Janeiro-based Red Command reported in 2013 to be shipping one ton of cocaine out of the country every month. Later that year a cell of the Sao Paulo-based First Capital Command (PCC) was detained in the eastern border city of Pedro Juan Caballero. Much of the Brazilian criminal activity is based in the eastern border area between the city and Ciudad del Este, with a spate of killings in and around Pedro Juan Caballero during the first months of 2014 linked to a war between Brazilian criminal groups.
The arrest of two Brazilian chemists with a prior history for drug production and the proximity of the laboratory to the Triple Frontier suggests the two men may have been brought in by one or another Brazilian criminal group dedicated to supplying the growing demand for synthetic drugs in both Argentina and Brazil. In another sign of the growth of South American synthetic drug production, Argentina discovered its first reported ecstacy lab in late-2013.
