The strains of Radiohead's "You and What Army" shimmer under the action in the opening moments of "Incendies," as we watch a group of boys in a bombed out building line up to have their heads shaved, surrounded by men with machine guns slung over their shoulders. As the camera pans around the room, it settles on the face of a young boy who stares coldly back into the lens with a chilling 1000-yard stare. And with that, director Denis Villeneuve sets the tone for a powerful whodunit spanning four decades, from the Middle East to Quebec.
Jeanne (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) and Simon (Maxim Gaudette) are twin twentysoemthings living in Montreal who are left parentless by the sudden death of their mother, Nawal (Lubna Azabal). At the reading of her will, one is instructed to find their long lost brother, whom they hadn't known even existed. The other is instructed to find their father, whom they'd believed long dead. Jeanne cries quietly at the news, steeling herself for the journey, while Simon is filled with rage at what he considers his mother's final act of madness, determined not to have anything to do with the chase.
The film cuts back and forth between Jeanne's present and Nawal's past as the daughter traces the mother's footsteps across time and space, discovering that her mother was an exile who brought shame on her family, as well as an activist and hero, in a fictional land set amid the unrest of the Middle East of the 1970s.
Villeneuve, who adapted the film from the play by Wajdi Mouawad, constructs the story in such a way that it's difficult to discern where Nawal's politics and allegiances lay. She's a Christian who works for an anti-Nationalist newspaper—but when she finds herself at gunpoint, her survival instincts take over. Similarly, Villeneuve doesn't take sides, making clear that the only innocents in the conflicts tearing that region apart were (are?) the kids. And he make clear the hypocrisy, self-destruction and idiocy that fuel any nativist movement, while offering insights into how we in the West mistakenly apply our values and sense of community to the people of the Middle East.
As good as Désormeaux-Poulin is, this is Azabal's film, and she is remarkable in the role of Nawal, informing the character with an understated dignity, resolve and courage that feel perfectly real. She never goes in for histrionics or wailing, not even when witnessing murder or enduring horrifying suffering herself.
Ironically, as epically Greek as the ending is, the moment at first feels a little anti-climactic, before feeling a bit clumsy. But it's not so poorly done that it takes away from the power of the previous two hours of "Incendies."

Hi all-
Just got back from a trek to Bob's BMW in Maryland. Had SS braided brake cables and bar-backs installed on my 1994 R1100RS--drove back and forth from east end of Long Island (about 600 miles)--when within 1/4 mile of my home, bike just stopped and would not restart--battery good, fuses good--cranks well but doesn't turn over--when turning switch on, I don't hear that familiar whirring sound of fuel pump bringing fuel line up to pressure--I'm assuming this is a fuel pump problem--bike has 40,000 miles--any other suggestions before I call Beemer Boneyard and others for a replacement? Thanks in advance for your input.
PS--Bob's is very good--worth the trip--traffic in that area is unbelieveable!

Affirm XL, Inc Recalls Affirm XL Dietary Supplement Tablet Due to Potential Health Risk
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services received information regarding a nationwide recall of Affirm XL, a dietary supplement tablet. The lot number is 1190001.
The product was found to contain an analogue of sildenafil. Sildenafil is an active ingredient used in an FDA-approved product for the treatment of male Erectile Dysfunction (ED). The active drug ingredient is not listed on the label for this product.
Affirm XL Tablet is sold nationwide in 10 count blister packs and single pill packs.
Use of this product may pose a threat to consumers because the analogue may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates.
The full recall can be found at ww.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm347558.htm?source=govdelivery.

Python and Django developer, accessibility advocate
Woodbridge, Virginia
Katie Cunningham is a Python and Django developer for Cox Media Group
by day, and is currently writing a book on 508 compliance and
accessibility by night. While she had always had an interest in programming, it didn't turn
into a career until she started to work at NASA. There, she slowly
transitioned from gathering requirements to developing full time,
advocating the use of more open source in the government sector.
It was at NASA that she gained an interest in 508 compliance. At
first, she was only interested in getting her applications through QA
faster. Over time, however, she gained a passion for a web that was
easy for everyone to use. Now in the private sector, she is
championing compliance even for websites that don't require it by law.
She currently lives just outside of Washington, DC with her husband,
two children, and a very barky dog.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
It was a good day here. All the preparations were worthwhile. I loved that all the family members ate heartily and genuinely had a great day.
The centerpiece of the day was the turkey. Cockeyed turned me on to Martha Stewart's Turkey 101 recipe. Delish!
Hope you had a great day! I'll be resting with a new project tonight and a cup of tea.

Part I is here; you can find part II here.
"Where did you go," she wrote.
"I'm at the airport," he replied.
She went on to say her car had been towed from the party last night and that she had to camp out at a friend's house till she morning when the tow lot opened.
"So you didn't stop home last night," he asked.
She insisted that she did not.
For a moment, Sean started to wonder if he had been dreaming the night before, but he quickly put that out of his mind. The bedroom door, which had been open when he went to sleep, was closed when he woke up. And the living room light, which he had turned off before laying down, was on in the morning.
He knew she was lying, but wasn't about to get in a text message spat with Sam.
Later that night he was on Facebook, and so was Sam. He pulled up the message system and wrote "hey, sorry if I seemed annoyed earlier today."
He was testing her, hoping she would give him something, anything, to explain her behavior from the night before.
During their chat, which resulted in nothing more than a whole hill of excuses, Sean saw an update in his news feed: "Sam has been tagged in a photo," it said.
Sean clicked the gallery on Sam's friend's page. Each photo showed Sam, wearing the same shirt she'd had on before heading to her friend's party the night before, and hanging all over a man named Rob.
They haven't spoken since.

NRG Energy (NYSE:NRG) has made some fascinating moves recently that suggest it's written the first few drafts of a Dear John letter to utilities. It's not the only one disrupting the status quo, either. As energy demand surges in response to a growing global population and emerging-market development, and a changing climate forces us to get serious about constraining greenhouse gas emissions, all signs point to an energy future that bears little resemblance to what we know today.
Paradigm disruption
Renewables are making tons of headway lately, and 2013 promises to be a very good year for energy sources such as wind and solar. Their growing share of generating capacity presents challenges to the old-school utilities, though: Given that solar photovoltaics and wind are randomly variable energy sources, traditional power plants and transmission lines that were designed for steady supply struggle to accommodate the power fluctuations of renewables.
This means that as companies such as SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY.DL) push their sun-powered energy systems further into the marketplace, they do so at traditional utilities' expense. In furnishing consumers with their own generation capacity, SolarCity bypasses utilities. The company's partnerships with electric-vehicle manufacturers further subvert the legacy systems.
This process of cutting out the middleman is one we've seen before. If you have doubts, ask yourself this: When was the last time you used a travel agent? Exactly. As companies like SolarCity offer customers renewable energy that is typically cheaper than power from the grid, they erode the need for utilities at all. And utilities have noticed.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Duke Energy's (NYSE:DUK) chairman and CEO, Jim Rogers, directly acknowledged the trend's potential threat to his company over the long term. Duke is the United States' largest utility owner, and Rogers conceded that businesses like his could become less important in the long run.
"If the cost of solar panels keeps coming down, installation costs come down, and if they combine solar with battery technology and a power management system, then we have someone just using us for backup," Rogers said. He also said Duke was considering a move into rooftop solar, describing it as a short-term opportunity.
At a 2012 energy conference, Susan Story -- CEO of Southern's (NYSE:SO) services division -- directly acknowledged the shifting energy landscape. Southern, the United States' largest vertically integrated utility, has been making strides toward a smarter grid and has dramatically shifted its fuel sources. Traditionally coal-reliant, Southern burned more natural gas than coal for the first time in 2012.
Edge power
But are companies like Southern and Duke moving quickly enough to survive the disruption that appears to be under way? Incumbents tend to weather disruptive events poorly, and this could be no exception. Especially when you consider "edge power."
Edge power is a new and evolving concept, but its core components are distributed generation, distributed storage, and distributed energy management systems. The idea is to enable customers to generate their own power or use stored power when centralized grid facilities become unreliable, such as in the case of a major storm or heat-wave demand surges.
Smart-grid expert Steven Collier explains that edge-power players are "willing to provide customers with things that incumbent utilities are unwilling or unable to provide." Collier predicts that "[e]dge-power players will eventually bypass the traditional vertically integrated electric utility business model to participate directly in regional, transactive energy markets."
EnerNOC (NASDAQ:ENOC) is just such a player. The company offers demand response solutions, which essentially allow end-users of electricity to reduce their energy use, either actively or automatically. EnerNOC provides its services to PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity. These activities are precisely the sort that subvert the legacy, vertically integrated model that Southern and other utilities follow.
Takin' it to the streets …
Let's circle back to NRG, the biggest power provider to U.S. utilities. The company has begun providing electricity directly to consumers, bypassing its traditional clients. NRG has gotten into the rooftop solar business for both residential and commercial customers and intends eventually to offer natural-gas generators to pick up the slack when the sun don't shine.
In an interview at a recent MIT energy conference, NRG CEO David Crane said consumers are figuring out that "they don't need the power industry at all." Crane has bigger plans, too. "The individual homeowner should be able to tie a machine to their natural gas line and tie that with solar on the roof, and suddenly they can say to the transmission-distribution company, 'Disconnect that line.'"
If I were an operator betting on the status quo, I'd be very nervous. Companies such as NRG and EnerNOC are making all the right moves, and utilities are going to have to get nimble if they want to survive in the long run.

As soon as I got back from Utah and my visit to FamilySearch, I taught two classes at the Fall Genealogy Workshop of the Family History Society of Arizona. The conference seemed very well attended but being at a genealogy conference raises some issues, including whether or not attending a genealogy class is more entertainment than education. The classes I taught were on specific software products and it was interesting that more than a few of the attendees had purchased the software at a previous convention and had either never loaded it on their computer or after loading it on, had never used it.
In the regard, I reflect on all of the many hundreds of genealogy classes I have taught over the past few years. Some of the classes have been attended by the same people, on the same subjects, time after time. Yet, each time I teach the same class over, I get similar comments and over time, when I ask if anyone has used the program or whatever, the percentage of actual use never seems to increase. For example, I regularly teach a class on using Google for Genealogy. Even though I repeat the topic almost two or three times a month and some of the same people attend the class repeatedly, they still never seem to spend the time to learn a little about Google themselves. So, is the class entertainment or education? I guess I would have to conclude that it is largely entertainment.
So what would I suggest? I suggest going to conferences with a specific agenda in mind and further with a commitment to implement the positive things learned at the conference. If I go to a genealogy conference and sit through classes on a software products, then when I get through I should be in the position to make a choice about which product to purchase. If I like what I see in a certain product, I should be committed to making the purchase and learning about the program. The experience I mention above about software applies generally to many of the topics covered at a genealogy conference. Granted, genealogy software is not that expensive, but it is still a waste of money and time to purchase a product if you do not intend to use, or at least evaluate it for use.
The same suggestion applies to classes on organizing genealogical data or using sources. Unless we are prepared to internalize the class topics and actually change our behavior patterns, then attending the class (and the conference) is little more than recreation and entertainment.
Most conferences have a syllabus which in some cases have detailed summaries of the classes being offered, carefully study the syllabus or outline and determine which classes relate directly to things you are willing to do. I like to take classes I know nothing about, just to know. But, I always to into the class with the attitude that, if there is something of value, I will soon implement the suggestions or make the changes suggested by the class. This is not to say that every class I attend is pivotal in genealogy career, but when I do attend a class I am always committed to implementing the things I learn, if that is possible. Likewise, if I learn about something in the class, I try to use the new information in a productive way.
I see no problem in attending a genealogy seminar for social or recreational purposes, but don't kid yourself into thinking you are actually learning anything, unless you are prepared to do so.

Entertainment or Education -- the genealogy conference experience
1 comment:
Good advice, certainly - but please make allowances for those of us who don't always have time to immediately implement all we learn in genealogy. Working full time and currently going to school to get my MBA leaves me very little genealogy time. However I still love to learn new (or not so new) genealogy things....because someday I'll have more time. And in the mean time I still love to attend genealogy conferences when time and money allow. But I'll be glad to admit that it's as much for entertainment as anything - I'll even wear a badge saying so :-)ReplyDelete

The government finalised a decision on Tuesday to suspend a previously announced rise in electricity prices amidst growing opposition amongst traders and lawmakers. In a Cabinet meeting, the Council of Ministers issued a decision to suspend new electricity tariffs announced in late January that would have raised rates by an average of 9 per cent through May 1.
Under the new decision, announced earlier this week, consumers will return to the previous electricity tariffs. The extra money collected under the raised tariffs will be deducted from the electricity bills of the coming months, according to the government decision, carried by the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
Although the decision did not clarify whether the government will maintain the previous electricity rates past May 1, official sources say the move aims to give decision makers an extended period to devise a new tariff system that raises electricity prices on "the smallest segments of society possible". According to an energy official, who preferred to remain unnamed, the move came as a direct response to challenges to the government's claims that the planned price hike would not affect 92 per cent of citizens and 89 per cent of commercial outlets.
The revised tariff was announced earlier this year as a bid to address the National Electric Power Company's (NEPCO) growing budget deficit, projected to reach JD1.7 billion by the end of the year, a move that prompted a popular backlash and threats of a parliamentary motion to withhold confidence from the government.
According to the Electricity Regulatory Commission, officials devised the tariffs to alleviate the burden of ongoing cuts in Egyptian gas supplies, which cost the Kingdom JD1 billion in 2011, on the government's projected JD1.02 billion budget deficit while impacting only "the largest consumers". Lawmakers and traders refuted the government's claims, insisting that the price rise would impact 80 per cent of merchants and lead to a 15 per cent rise in basic food commodities, calling for the energy minister's resignation.
According to NEPCO, Egyptian gas supplies have yet to return since a Sinai blast earlier this month that marked the 13th attack on the Kingdom's main energy source in a little over a year, forcing the country's power plants onto heavy fuel reserves at a cost of $5 million per day.

Coulter wrote about how MSNBC's Martin Bashir suggested Republican senators wouldn't support stronger gun control legislation until a member of their family was killed. She wrote: "Let's start with Meghan McCain!"
McCain tweeted on Thursday that she "couldn't imagine living a life that seems so void of love, compassion and perspective."

Apple lawyers on Tuesday morning promised jury members in their $2.5 billion dollar patent case that they would have "loads of phones" to examine in the jury room when it came time to render a verdict.
Apple's lead litigator Bruce Sewell pointed out to the 10 men and two women that both the Apple iPhone and Samsung's Vibrant and Fascinate had "flat black transparent front faces" -- a tongue twister he had to repeat several times with a chuckle before he got it right.
In a strange aside, Sewell pointed out his young granddaughter could use an iPad instinctively -- one could argue the glib comment was a mistake. It could be construed as showing the way one interacts with an iPad is functional and not ornamental.
"Samsung has taken our property," said Sewell as he wrapped up his opening argument. "People should not use what you invented."
At question is more than just front faces. The question before the jury is whether Samsung's phones and tablets are not just similar to iPhone but are wholesale ripoffs.
Apple presented several examples of Samsung using Apple's ideas over and over, from a double-tap to zoom to the unmoving icons at the bottom of the screen.
Patent trials often come down to what's functional and what's ornamental. A steering wheel in a car is round, for instance, for functional reasons and Mercedes will not take Chevrolet to court over that issue.
Ornamental innovations are improvements that make one product better than another. Apple says the way a person interacts with an iPhone are ornamental and thus qualify for protection.

Reminder: December's Virtual Tasting will take place on Wednesday December 29th from 7-8pm Pacific Time. Read more about it here.
It seems almost impossible to believe that Corliss Estates is now finishing its tenth year. The winery spent much of this time below periscope depth. The first two vintages were made and discarded when they did not meet the quality standard the winery was looking to set. The subsequent vintages – starting with the winery's first releases from the 2003 vintage – have been nothing short of sublime. However, even these wines took many years to find their way into consumers' hands.
Corliss Estates' inaugural wines were not released until fall of 2008. Winery owners Michael and Lauri Corliss prefer to drink wines with some age on them, so the Corliss wines receive extended time in barrel and in the cellar before release. While this requires a great deal of patience and expense on the winery's part – and money is no object at Corliss with no expense spared to try to make the best wine possible – it means that, unlike many high end wines, consumers can find immediate satisfaction upon release. However, the Corliss wines are also made for the long haul. The result from Corliss Estates is the best of both worlds for the wine consumer - wines one can purchase and immediately enjoy upon release but that can also lay down in the cellar for many years to come.
The 2005 vintage wines constitute Corliss Estates' third release. Each of these wines – the Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah - demonstrates why Corliss deserves to be considered among the best wineries in Washington State. The wines are simultaneously bold and nuanced, powerful yet refined.
The current releases were crafted by winemaker Kendall Mix. Mix left Corliss Estates last year to take a position close to home at Goose Ridge Estate Vineyard and Winery. Since that time, the winery has decided to use a team approach for winemaking with Michael Corliss providing increasing amounts of input and direction. The winery has also hired a top-flight consultant for occasional assistance as well. Additionally, Erik McLaughlin was recently hired as Director of Wineries.
In addition to Corliss Estates, Michael and Lauri Corliss have also opened a sister winery – Tranche Cellars (see reviews of the consistently excellent Tranche wines here). A third, Red Mountain Vineyard, waits in the wings. With these three wineries and a strong team in place, look for Corliss Estates and its sister wineries to make an increasingly large impact on the Washington wine scene in the decades to come.
Corliss Estates Red Wine Columbia Valley 2005 $65
Rating: ** (Exceptional) A very pretty, seductive nose with cedar, dust, coffee bean, caramel, and black cherries. A big but beautifully integrated wine plush with black cherry fruit accented by silky oak flavors. A thirty-plus second finish. 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 9% Malbec, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Petit Verdot. Red Mountain, Stillwater, Weinbau, Northridge, Bacchus, and Stonetree vineyards. Aged 33 months in French oak (73% new). 14.9% alcohol. 450 cases produced.
Corliss Estates Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2005 $75
Rating: ** (Exceptional) The aromas are arresting. Light herbal notes, high-toned cherries, licorice, earth, and cedar interweave on an elegantly expressive nose. A powerful wine that opens up and expands, coating the palate with espresso flavors and rich black cherries. Hangs on and on at the finish. More structured than the Red Wine and a bit more brooding. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot. Dionysus, Weinbau, Bacchus, Stillwater Creek, Northridge, and Stonetree vineyards. 15.1% alcohol. 228 cases produced.
Corliss Estates Syrah Columbia Valley 2005 $55
Rating: ** (Exceptional) Compelling aromatics of campfire, smoked meat, berries, and earth rise up on a dark, brooding aroma profile. On the palate, a big, multiple swallow wine full of dark fruit and chocolate. The oak is beautifully integrated along with lithe tannins. 15.1% alcohol. 96% Syrah co-fermented with 3% Viognier and 1% Grenache. Stillwater, Birch Creek, Stonetree, and Evergreen vineyards. Aged 34 months in French oak (64% new). 15.1% alcohol. 388 cases produced.

I have a question about the bottling at Corliss. The 06, 07, 08 are all bottled and cellared, or are they still in barrels? That would make me ask if Kendall Mix was the wine maker on the 06,07,08. I hope that Mr. Corliss knows what he is doing.
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Anon, a great question. I would think that the 2006 and probably the 2007 would be in bottle already. The others should still be in barrel. The winery has been giving the wines almost three years (34 months) in oak and then "more than two years" in bottle before release.
The 2006 wines were finished and bottled before Kendall's departure. The 2007 wines were blended by our winemaking team of Andrew Trio and Griffin Frey with assitance from Michael Corliss and our consulting winemaker, Philippe Melka. The 2007s are now bottled and ageing in bottle. The 2008s have been blended (same team) and will be bottled in the next couple months.
I believe you fill find the upcoming wines continue to get better each year, building upon the quality that Kendall originally established.
Erik McLaughlin, Winery Director
Corliss Estates
A point of correction. The 2007 wines were blended before I left Corliss Estates, but bottled after I left. The new winemaking team took over blending with the 2008 vintage.
Kendall Mix.
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Kendall, thanks for the correction. Much appreciated.

A day which had been miserable and embarrassing for the Mets Sunday ended joyously with Kirk Nieuwenhuis' walk-off three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth and a 4-3 victory over the Cubs at Citi Field.
Nieuwenhuis' no-doubt blast off second-deck facing in rightfield was the icing on a four-run rally that ended with the Home Run Apple up and the Mets' three-game losing streak over.
Nieuwenhuis flung his helmet into the air after rounding third and leaped onto home plate into the arms of his pumped-up teammates. The Mets celebrated as if they had just done something big -- which, considering how lousy they have been of late, is exactly what they did.
"If we can't use this as a spark," manager Terry Collins said, "I don't know what else we can do."
The Mets trailed 3-0 entering the ninth and had three hits. They had allowed two unearned runs in the fifth inning on a play on which they threw the ball away three times.
And that came a day after Jordany Valdespin was charged with an error for throwing the ball away on a routine toss back to the pitcher. David Wright called a players-only meeting after Saturday's game. It took 8 ½ innings to have any effect, apparently.
"I really hate team meetings," Wright told MLB.com. "They're one of my least-favorite things, because it usually means that things aren't going so well. But there's times where it's good to get together and get some things off of my chest."
Had the Mets lost, Collins said: "I know what would have been said, what would have been written. You know what? That's what should have been written."
But Nieuwenhuis sent the scribes back to their typewriters with his fourth hit and first home run of the season in his 32nd big-league at-bat. It earned him a postgame pie in the face courtesy of Justin Turner.
"Apple pie," Nieuwenhuis said. "I could taste it."
The dark day started brightening when Marlon Byrd led off the ninth against deposed Cubs closer Carlos Marmol (2-4) with a second-deck home run to left. The Mets, criticized by their manager for lacking spirit the day before, suddenly had a pulse, and it got stronger when Lucas Duda walked and John Buck singled.
"I'll tell you what," Collins said. "When Marlon hit the home run, there was a huge bolt of energy going through the bench. And then, when Lucas walked, there were guys saying, 'We're going to win the game.' We didn't know how, but I heard somebody say, 'We're going to win this game.' Sure enough, it was true."
Marmol began the ninth because Cubs closer Kevin Gregg had worked four days in a row. Omar Quintanilla sacrificed the runners along before Nieuwenhuis crushed a 1-and-0 fastball to send the Mets to Atlanta for the start of a four-city, 11-game road trip on a high note. "We're going to get on a plane with smiles on our faces," Collins said.
He wasn't smiling earlier. The Cubs were ahead 1-0 in the fifth with runners on first and second and two outs. Alfonso Soriano hit a hot shot to the left of David Wright, who made a terrific diving stop. Wright popped up, and after looking at second, fired high and wide to first. Daniel Murphy retrieved the ball after a quick carom and threw home. That throw was way off, too, to the first-base side as a run scored. The ball traveled to foul territory between home and third base.
Starlin Castro, who started the play on first, attempted to score. Quintanilla picked up the ball and threw past catcher Buck as Castro slid in with the second run.
Soriano reached third as adults in the crowd of 30,256 laughed and then booed. Little Leaguers in the upper deck just shook their heads. Wright and Murphy were charged with errors. The Cubs led 3-0. But the Mets erased all that in the ninth.
"We needed something," Byrd said. They got it.

Panel to address refugees seeking asylum in Israel
'Citizens of Nowhere' event the culmination of junior Dina Kapengut's advocacy projectsIn the fall 2012 semester, the lines in Dina Kapengut's world began to blur.
Both a Brandeis-Genesis Institute For Russian Jewry (BGI) fellow and a Hiatt Scholar working with the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Kapengut '14 was cooking up an advocacy project for each program, but soon realized she could marry her interests: The event, "Citizens of Nowhere: African Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Modern Day Israel," was born.
The culmination of her efforts, a panel discussion sponsored jointly by BGI and HIAS, will be held March 12, from 5:45 to 7 p.m., in the Mandel Center for Humanities atrium. BGI programs and fellowships are supported by the Genesis Philanthropy Group. The fellowships are awarded to encourage Russian-speaking students to become effective community leaders, fortified by Jewish knowledge, a systematic understanding of Russian Jewry and a commitment to the future of the Jewish people.
Kapengut said she first became interested in immigration and asylum issues while on a high school trip to Israel with a youth leadership diplomacy group.
"The trip to Tel Aviv brought it to my attention – prior to that I was on the other side of the world," she said.
She first proposed the idea in the fall and has spent months working to bring the event to fruition. More than 60,000 unauthorized migrants in Israel have fled violence and persecution in Sudan and Eritrea. Following recent protests and violence that has resulted from efforts to offer them shelter and protection, the panel will address controversy about the response of the Jewish state to the issue of asylum seekers and the challenge of developing a successful asylum system.
Kapengut invited three distinguished panelists and a moderator to campus: Melanie Nezer, Kady Buchaan, Joanna Packer and Dara Freedman-Weiss.
Nezer is the senior director for U.S. Policy & Advocacy for HIAS, directing the Washington, D.C., office, and coordinating with HIAS' immigration and refugee services department. She is the chair of the Refugee Council USA's Advocacy Committee. She previously served as the immigration policy director for the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.
Buchanan is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder of Their Story First. She has a bachelor's degree in visual and media arts from Emerson College and a master of fine arts in documentary film from American University. Her filmmaking focuses on Judaism and Israeli political issues. Her film "Exile No More" is currently in post-production.
Packer teaches at Boston Day and Evening Academy, a charter high school in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. She earned a bachelor's degree in education from Brown University, during which she was first introduced to the issue through a Hillel trip to Israel as a volunteer for the African Refugee Development Center in Tel Aviv. She subsequently returned to Israel with a social justice fellowship through the New Israel Fund, and spent a year managing a refugee education center for adults. She is currently a member of Right Now, an international coalition launched in 2012 to advocate for the protection of African asylum seekers.
Moderator Freedman-Weiss is in the final semester of a Hornstein master's in Jewish professional leadership and Heller MBA program at Brandeis. She earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy and political science from the University of Rochester and spent a year studying in Israel at Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies. Freedman-Weiss spent last summer in volunteering as a higher education case worker for the African Refugee Development Center in Tel Aviv and as a grants researcher for the Jaffa Institute.
"I think this would be a great opportunity for students who are interested in social justice, which is a prevalent topic on campus, and students who are interested in complex global challenges," Kapengut says. "I'm really hoping to educate the community and encourage advocacy."

Instead of using a decongestant medicine to relieve a stuffy nose,
you can try using a saltwater solution (saline solution). This solution may
help you for a short period of time by:
To make the solution, mix
½ teaspoon (2.5 g) of salt and
½ teaspoon (2.5 g) of baking soda
in 1 cup (237 mL) of distilled water (at room temperature). If you use tap water, boil it first to sterilize it, and then let it cool until it is lukewarm. You may also purchase a saline
solution at your pharmacy.
Gently squirt the solution into your nose. Aim the water toward the
back, not the top, of your head. The water will run through the nasal passages
and into the back of your throat. Spit it out through your mouth. It will not
hurt you if you swallow some of the water. To squirt the solution, you

Indian symposium takes on urbanization and water
The world's top two mega-cities with the most critical water challenges lie in India: Mumbai and Delhi. How can we help tackle the problems, setting an example for others?
This was the starting point of daylong discussion and debate
VIDEO: Thought leaders debate urban water issues
at a symposium in Mumbai, India, in early 2013.Grundfos gathered 12 thought leaders from the water sector in an open forum in the style of the classical Greek discussion events. The participants included Indian rainwater harvesting guru S. Vishwananth, Dr. Uday Kelkar, Director of the Indian operation for NJS Consultants Co. Ltd., Grundfos Group Vice President Tao Bindslev and Ranganath N. Krishna, Managing Director of GRUNDFOS Pumps India Private Ltd.
"Targeting the dynamics and needs of the fast growing cities of the world is critical for our ability to innovate solutions for the water challenges facing us," said Tao Bindslev in his opening statement.
The symposium explored several paths to more sustainable water provision, such as pricing, Public Private Partnerships, decentralized technologies and solutions and challenging the model of 24/7 piped and pressurised water.
"The needs in the marketplace are getting more and more complex," says Lars Lundbye, a Grundfos strategist who arranged the event. Grundfos has thus opened up its processes for dialogues with thought leaders of the world without the pressures of specific agendas, he says.
"Bringing together thought leaders for a deep, meaningful dialogue is a necessity if we want to have real insights and innovative approaches to the complex challenges in water," he says.

"Symposium delegates explored several paths to more sustainable water provision, even challenging the model of 24/7 piped and pressurised water."

Talk about a birthday present.
Actor Eddie Cibrian, who turned 37 on Wednesday, has been axed from "CSI: Miami," a year after joining the cast of the CBS police procedural, People reported.
Cibrian was reportedly released from his contract so producers could focus on the "core team" when original cast member Adam Rodriguez returns to the show in the fall, according to EW.com.
A source close to the show told E! News no decisions have been made on whether to kill off Cibrian's character.
A rep for CBS has declined comment on the reports.

Unlocking Business Value From ITBy Corinne Bernstein | Posted 2009-08-06 Print
A new framework can help IT executives develop capabilities and demonstrate value.
The Innovation Value Institute of the National University of Ireland (NUI), Maynooth—a consortium with members that include heavyweights in business and academia—has unveiled a management road map designed to optimize business value derived from IT investments. The purpose of the IVI's IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) is to provide an end-to-end integrated framework to help IT executives manage the challenges of developing their organizations' technology capabilities while delivering demonstrable value.
"Companies typically invest 1 percent to 5 percent of revenue in IT, but without a way to measure and maximize the return from these investments, their IT organizations cannot move from cost centers to value centers," Martin Curley, adjunct professor of technology and business at NUI, Maynooth, and global director of IT innovation at Intel, said during a presentation.
Although optimizing the value of IT is a top priority in today's tough economy, there has been no comprehensive, standardized framework for making investment decisions. Aiming to address this problem, the IVI has been developing and testing ways to align IT investment with business results.
Formed in 2006, the consortium has more than 30 members—including The Boston Consulting Group, BP, Chevron, Ernst & Young, Intel, Microsoft and SAP—and it's growing.
"Now is a perfect time to release the IT-CMF," Sheila Upton, director of technology and security risk services at Ernst & Young and an IVI board member, tells Baseline. "The importance of deriving value doesn't go away because you're under cost pressure."
In fact, she adds, the downturn has created an unprecedented situation. "A number of organizations that are not in a bad situation want to come out of the downturn in a good position," Upton explains. "So they need to be innovative."
The IT-CMF provides a five-stage maturity model that can be used as a framework for mapping out IT improvements. It consists of four macroprocesses:
1. Managing IT like a business: shifting the focus from technology and production to customers and services
2. Managing the IT budget: investing in innovative IT solutions that deliver better value and performance for the business
3. Managing the IT capability: managing IT assets throughout the value chain and developing core competencies
4. Managing IT for business value: connecting IT investments to overall business benefits.
The IT-CMF identifies 36 processes covering all activities in an IT department and categorizes them under these four macroprocesses. An assessment of an IT organization's maturity across these 36 processes—along with comparisons with industry benchmarks and best practices—will identify a company's maturity gaps, as well as opportunities for value creation, the IVI says.
To date, about 250 CIOs and IT executives have taken IVI training courses, and the consortium is planning about 50 pilot programs in 2009.
"Piloting helps make sure you have the right content and confirms whether the framework is right," Upton says. "Companies that have begun testing the frame have seen immediate value."
Intel began testing the IT-CMF in 2007 and, as a result, it has a better way of measuring its performance and identifying where it should be, Intel CIO Diane Bryant said at the presentation.
"The IT-CMF provides a holistic view of how CIOs set priorities, reduce complexity and frame decisions based on business value so that they are optimized for the company, not IT," Bryant explained. She added that by sharing their collective knowledge, companies will be better able to solve their structural problems.
The IVI estimates that data showing returns on investment for IVI members will be available by 2010, once pilot study recommendations have been implemented and studied.

BEDC plans to invest in potential Agrium project
The Borger Economic Development Corporation has made plans to invest in a potential expansion project for Agrium. Dan Redd, CEO of the Borger EDC, said the corporation plans on investing $1 million in the project over a 10-year period. The money will be directed toward water wells and supply lines to supply additional water to the City of Borger's water system as well as the proposed Agrium expansion project.No final decision has been made on the Agrium project. However, what is proposed is an ammonia plant expansion and new urea production facility.If the project does move forward, the majority of the construction work would take place in 2014 and 2015 with the plant expansion expected to start up in 2016.The expansion project will add approximately 30 jobs to the local community, a 40 percent increase in the number of full-time employees Agrium currently has. In addition, increased permanent contractor support, rail/transportation and other ancillary jobs in and around the plant will be required. Agrium anticipates approximately 500 workers will be involved.The cost of the expansion project is estimated to be around $500 million. With the large initial capital investment and the substantial ongoing operating expenditures, the project will have a significant and positive economic impact on Borger and the surrounding area if approved.

Frontier Culture Museum's New West African Space
This month the Frontier Culture Museum in Staunton, Virginia, dedicated its latest recreated historical space: a 1700s West African Farm, also called Igbo Farm Village.
The museum's announcement says:
The West African Farm is an outdoor exhibit that is modeled after the compound of an Igbo yam farmer in the 1700s, and is taking its place among the Museum's collection of outdoor exhibits representing life in seventeenth and eighteenth century England, Ireland and Germany, and early America.Here are photos of the site being built, and how it fits alongside farm buildings from other places and times.
West African Farm will serve as a place where Museum visitors will learn about the lives and culture of the African ancestors of African Americans, and the contributions of Africans and African Americans to the creation of the United States and of a distinctive American culture.

If it was JUST one second rounder ... maybe ... we all know though that won't happen. I just think he is an incredible liability due to his injuries. To give up a second rounder for 20 games and maybe one round in the playoffs is alot ... the fact is he is totally injury prone and there is no guarantee we would even get those 20 games.Anyway, I can't believe I've got so worked up about this as it's not going to happen (at least not at that price). I'm generally in agreement with you and Meers that it's definitely not worth it to give up the future for Forsberg no matter how great he is. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying he's not worth one 2nd rounder.
Its a total "now" deal and I don't believe the canucks are a "now" team .. if we were two years down the road and we had a legitimate shot at the Cup I would say for sure ...

Intellectual Self-Defence in an Age of Illusions
by David Edwards
Publication date: April 2000
ISBN:1870098889 Paperback
Intellectual Self-Defence in an Age of Illusions
"Often raw and uncompromising, but it is precisely this quality that lifts it above the familiar blend of green bland and blather." - Jonathon Porritt
"This is Namaste's book of the year. Why? Because this is a book that urges the reader to look at the world from a wider perspective. Although written in 1993, everything about which the author has written is so relevant today. It is full of wisdom that does not rely on other people's research. . . . This book shows all of us ways in which we can change, by questioning how we live and think." ? Namaste Magazine
Building on the work of writers such as Chomsky and Herman, David Edwards shows how the propaganda system distorts our understanding of political, personal and spiritual issues, ensuring that we remain passive, conformist, confused and uninformed - and willing to accept the irrational values of corporate consumerism. He argues that we need to master the arts of 'intellectual self-defence', in order to become able to challenge the 'necessary illusions' of a system that subordinates people and planet to the drive for profit.

Conservative groups leave no doubt about their hatred for the latest budget deal. But their vociferous dissent have House Republicans like Paul Ryan shrugging their shoulders and saying "haters gonna hate."
Plus, Tea Party darling Ted Cruz is the subject of a new children's coloring book—and it's a best seller on Amazon.com.
And in today's obvious news: Everyone still hates President Obama. His approval ratings, the lowest of any president's at the close of their fifth year since Richard Nixon, prove it.

This is where you can upload your Orc (Orsimer) voice auditions. Please keep this thread only for auditions - feedback and other comments relating to voice work can be posted in the hub thread.
Sample Lines:
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Bugrol_gro-Bagul You wanna help? Sure you do, good friend. Look--those guys in Caldera think I did something bad, so they're looking for me. I'm too smart for them, though. I can hide real good. My friend can help me. Maybe you bring her a note for me? I can give you a present. Really! http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Gashnakh_gra-Mughol I'm the foreman here at Tel Uvirith. I keep the workers in line and make sure the job gets done, though these mushrooms just about grow themselves. Voice Description: Orcs in Morrowind, while not actually stupid, certainly have their intelligence allocated to parts of their brain other than those used for verbal communication. While they excel at war tactics and crafting, their tribal nature still shines through. For many, if not most, Cyrodillic (English) is used clumsily and their limited mastery of the language leaves other races assured of their stupidity. Orc voices should be deep and perhaps a bit gravelly. Tough. Delivery can even be a bit choppy and abrubt. Your voice should also account for the fact that orcs have huge tusks that get in the way of theor speech. This would make 'S' sounds difficult. Esses would sound instead like Sean Connery esses, a litle like 'sh'.

Alumni Highlights
About Donna K. Sollenberger
BA (1971) MA (1974) English Literature
Ms Donna Sollenberger has been appointed chief executive officer of the Baylor Clinic and Hospital, and executive vice president of BCM. Before her recent appointment, Ms. Sollenberger was President and CEO of the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics, and responsible for more than 800 medical staff, 80 outpatient clinics, and six intensive care units.
Ms Sollenberger's achievements go beyond managing complexity, though that in itself is impressive. She is recognized for a humane, empowering and imaginative administrative style that has brought measurable results in improved patient care and well being.
The Value of a Liberal Arts Education to a Leader
In a recent campus visit, when Donna Sollenberger received an Alumni Achievement Award, she spoke to a group of students about careers and leadership. Asked how she, as an English Literature major, could manage a large organization in a highly technical environment with such success, she said that "one of the most important classes that I took was one on the Victorian novel. Aside from being interesting to read, by analyzing and discussing these novels, I learned how to deal with a mass of complex information, to reduce it to essential themes, and to defend my interpretations. In small group discussions I learned to defend my point of view but also to listen. People can see things in very different ways, and out of discussion you become a bigger thinker. These skills are essential to my job as a leader."
Sollenberger went on to develop the many ways that a liberal arts education is essential to effective leadership.
According to Sollenberger, a liberal arts and sciences education helps you to:
- Focus on communication, and written and oral communication is essential
- Synthesize large amounts of information to find meaningful patterns (themes) and to develop clear messages
- Identify supporting ideas to advance a theme (persuasion)
- Understand multiple points of view, and to value "dissenters", which fosters creative thinking
- Analyze problems and see multiple solutions
- Hone discussion and argumentation skills in small group discussions
- Become introspective and develop one's own values and opinions
