Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Barbara Kingsolver
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, from bestselling novelist, Barbara Kingsolver, will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. "This is the story of a year in which we made every attempt to feed ourselves animals and vegetables whose provenance we really knew . . . and of how our family was changed by our first year of deliberately eating food produced from the same place where we worked, went to school, loved our neighbors, drank the water, and breathed the air."
The San Francisco Chronicle says the book…"might persuade readers to return to the soil, or put down new roots in rural communities. But you don't have to be a budding farmer to appreciate this book. You might come away from Kingsolver's memoir more aware of what you're putting into your body, where you shop and how you cook in your kitchen."
With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy food raised only in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about the sex life of turkeys and overly- zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table.

About the Author
Barbara Kingsolver was born in Annapolis, Maryland and grew up in Eastern Kentucky. Her articles have appeared in a number of publications, including The Nation, The New York Times and Smithsonian magazines.
Her first novel, The Bean Trees, published in 1988, is about a young woman who leaves rural Kentucky and finds herself living in urban Tucson. Since then, Kingsolver has written the short story collection, Homeland and Other stories and Another America, a bilingual Spanish and English poetry collection, as well as several other novels, including Animal Dreams, Pigs in Heaven, The Poisonwood Bible—which was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize and PEN/Faulkner Award—and Prodigal Summer.
Her nonfiction work includes HighTide in Tucson: Essays from Now or Never—for which she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from her alma mater, DePauw Universit. Kingsolver again turned to nonfiction in 1996 with Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983, and in 2002 with an essay collection, Small Wonder. In 2000 she received the National Humanities Medal, our nation's highest honor for service through the arts.
"Kingsolver takes the genre to a new literary level; a well-paced narrative and the apparent ease of the beautiful prose makes the pages fly. Her tale is both classy and disarming, substantive and entertaining, earnest and funny...More often wry than pious...this practical vision of how we might eat...is as fresh as just-picked sweet corn.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"With... assistance from her husband, Steven, and 19-year-old daughter, Camille, Kingsolver elegantly chronicles a year of back-to-the-land living with her family in Appalachia…Readers frustrated with the unhealthy, artificial food chain will take heart and inspiration here."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, might persuade readers to return to the soil, or put down new roots in rural communities. But you don't have to be a budding farmer to appreciate this book. You might come away from Kingsolver's memoir more aware of what you're putting into your body, where you shop and how you cook in your kitchen. Then, too, you might see, more clearly, the choices facing humanity that concern the survival of our species, the continued existence of plants and animals and the health and well-being of the Earth itself."
—San Francisco Chronicle

Before vanishing from the parking lot of an Abidjan supermarket on April 16, 2004, Guy-André Kieffer wrote about the volatile mix of cocoa profits, guns, and politics in Ivory Coast. A freelance journalist of French and Canadian descent--and one of the few foreign reporters left in the conflict-ridden West African nation--Kieffer had a hand in business himself as a consultant and adviser. Just two years into his stay in the former French colony, he had collected a wide network of political and business connections.
And, by his own account, Kieffer had gathered some enemies. In the days before he disappeared and his normally busy cell phone suddenly went dead, the 54-year-old Kieffer told friends and family he had been getting threats and was concerned about his safety.
The only named suspect in his disappearance is an Ivoirian businessman related by marriage to the country's first family. Michel Legré, in custody since May 2004, claimed in questioning before a French judge that a number of people close to President Laurent Gbagbo were involved, several news organizations reported and an Ivoirian official confirmed for CPJ. Yet no other suspects have been arrested and some witnesses have been hard to find. Legré's reported testimony has ignited speculation that Kieffer's disappearance was a state-sponsored crime, although investigators are also said to be considering a personal money matter or grudge as a possible motive.
With its many unanswered questions, the case has stirred political intrigue and charges of government obstruction on two continents. The investigation has appeared to sputter at times as relations worsened between France and its former colony--leaving Kieffer's family and friends to fight for the truth.
"This case has always been politicized. The fate of Guy- André Kieffer is a nuisance to Franco-Ivoirian relations," his wife, Osange, said from Paris where she lives with the couple's 18-year-old daughter. Although most people believe he is dead, she has not abandoned hope.
"As long as they have not produced his body, I will not say that my husband is dead," Osange Kieffer said. He is one of 20 journalists whose disappearances over more than two decades may have been linked to their work, CPJ research shows.
Cooperation between France and Ivory Coast on the Kieffer case has been complicated by the two countries' long history, as well as their recently strained relations. Ivory Coast was a French colony for more than 60 years, and ties between it and France remained strong even after its independence in 1960. But tensions have risen since the Ivoirian civil war began in 2002. Ivoirian government supporters have accused France of supporting the rebels, and the two countries briefly engaged in hostile actions last year.
Nevertheless, the nations are still bound by a number of agreements--including one that pledges them to cooperate on certain judicial investigations such as the Kieffer case. In interviews with CPJ, Kieffer's family and friends expressed confidence in the efforts of the French investigating judge, Patrick Ramaël, but accused both the Ivoirian and French governments of obstructing the investigations for political reasons.
French Foreign Ministry spokesman Jean-Baptiste Mattei denied such allegations. "There is absolutely no desire to hamper [Ramaël's] movements in any way," he told CPJ. Ale Yéo, chief of staff for the Ivoirian justice minister, said the two countries were cooperating well on the judicial inquiry. "Each time that Judge Ramaël asked for authorization to come to Abidjan it was granted. And he has been able to carry out investigations without any problems from the Justice Ministry," Yéo said. "But some of the people he wanted to question refused to answer the summons. And some have disappeared."
Aline Richard, Kieffer's friend and colleague for 15 years at the French business newspaper La Tribune, said she believes he was targeted for his investigations into sensitive business issues. Kieffer was considered a specialist in the profitable cocoa and coffee sectors, and worked briefly as a consultant for a company that advised the Ivoirian government on reforming the cocoa trade.
Kieffer had undertaken several investigative stories, notably one that explored the alleged use of cocoa profits for arms purchases, according to the Paris-based business newsletter La Lettre du Continent, to which Kieffer was freelance contributor. His last story concerned a payment to Guinea- Bissau from a frozen bank account belonging to that country's late former dictator Ansumane Mane. Kieffer's story charged that some Ivoirian officials took commissions from the account, according to La Lettre du Continent.
While not ruling out the possibility that such stories led to Kieffer's disappearance, Stephen Smith, Africa editor of the French daily Le Monde, is more circumspect. Smith told CPJ that Kieffer was "walking a borderline" between journalism and business, and that he sometimes used his reporting to influence business deals. In a May 5, 2004 article, Le Monde said that Kieffer "informed some people, advised others and, under transparent pseudonyms, went hammer and tongs for senior personalities, without worrying unduly about the possible dangers."
France opened a judicial inquiry into Kieffer's disappearance in May 2004, after his wife filed a complaint in a Paris court. Ramaël went to Abidjan that month to begin his probe and questioned Legré, the brother-in-law of Ivory Coast's first lady, Simone Gbagbo, and a regular source for Kieffer. Legré was due to meet Kieffer for lunch the day he disappeared and is the last person known to have seen him.
Legré told Le Monde in May 2004 that Kieffer did not turn up for their lunch appointment but had called to say that he was at the nearby Prima supermarket, where Legré met him in the parking lot. "He was nervous, tense," Legré told Le Monde. "He told me only that he was due to meet a white guy who had owed him money for a long time, and that he planned to go to Ghana for the weekend." Legré told Le Monde that he left without asking further questions.
During 10 hours of questioning before the French judge, Legré identified a number of senior defense, security, and finance officials as being involved in the disappearance, Yéo said. Of those named, each has publicly denied involvement, and none has officially been declared a suspect. Investigators have questioned most of the officials, Yéo said, although they have been unable to find two soldiers named by Legré. Ramaël declined comment when contacted by CPJ, citing judicial confidentiality rules.
Shortly after the French investigation started, Ivoirian authorities launched their own inquiry. They arrested Legré and charged him as an accessory in the kidnapping, confinement, and--though no body has been produced--murder of Kieffer. The French judge has also charged Legré with complicity in Kieffer's kidnap and confinement.
One of Legré's lawyers, Alain Assamoi, told CPJ that Ramaël had pressured his client into linking government officials to the disappearance, and that Legré had later retracted the assertions. He said his client had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Véhi Étienne, a presidential adviser, said allegations linking senior officials to Kieffer's disappearance were "part of propaganda campaigns seeking to soil the image of the president" and were promoted by "media close to the opposition and to the armed rebellion." He added, "There are several possible trails outside of the investigation pursued by the French judge," including ones implicating "foreign citizens who have nothing to do with the president."
Citing the two countries' judicial cooperation agreement, Ramaël has requested that Legré be transferred to France for two months of questioning. But at the end of February, Ramaël returned from a fourth visit to Abidjan without the suspect. Legré remained in prison in Abidjan when Dangerous Assignments went to press.
Richard said she believes France is unwilling to pressure the Ivoirian authorities for fear of further damaging relations with President Gbagbo, whom it sees as a necessary partner in the fragile peace process.
Such concerns prompted Richard to set up the Truth for Guy-André Kieffer Association. Composed mainly of journalists, the group has launched a petition on its Web site calling on the French and Ivoirian governments to "employ every possible effort to find the truth." The association collects information about the case, lobbies the governments, and encourages media coverage.
Osange Kieffer, who has met with Ramaël, accused the French authorities of trying to stall the judge's investigation and block Legré's transfer. An official from the French Foreign Ministry said that any delays were due to normal procedures and that the transfer request was being processed.
"I know the judges and I believe they are interested in finding the truth," Le Monde editor Smith said. "But I think it embarrasses the two governments and there is extreme tension between the two governments."
The strain was at its worst last November when Ivoirian government air attacks on rebel positions killed nine French peacekeepers. The French retaliated by destroying most of the small Ivoirian air force. This action led to violent anti-French demonstrations in Abidjan that were fueled by state-owned media. Thousands of expatriates fled the country.
Despite a peace agreement brokered by France in early 2003, Ivory Coast remains divided between a rebel-held north and a government-controlled south. Most foreign reporters have left the country for security reasons, especially after the October 2003 murder of Radio France Internationale correspondent Jean Hélène by an Ivoirian police officer. Hélène's murder was widely blamed on anti-French sentiments that were whipped up by local media and progovernment forces.
Richard complains that Kieffer's case has received less attention from the French government and media than those of journalists Florence Aubenas, Christian Chesnot, and Georges Malbrunot, who were abducted in Iraq. Aubenas, who works for the independent daily Libération, was taken in Baghdad with her Iraqi translator on January 5. Chesnot of Radio France Internationale (RFI) and Malbrunot of independent daily Le Figaro were released in December after being held captive for four months by an Iraqi insurgent group.
"I think it's absolutely normal that people mobilize for Aubenas, Chesnot and Malbrunot," Richard told CPJ. "What is not normal is that they don't do the same for Kieffer. ... If you are a freelance and you go missing, it's more difficult." The vast majority of the 20 journalists on CPJ's missing list disappeared in conflict zones such as Chechnya, Kosovo, and Iraq; others vanished in remote areas where there is little media attention. Nearly all went missing in places where the rule of law is weak, the judiciary ineffective, and the government indifferent to solving such cases.
Left behind are the journalists' families who, in most cases, have few credible details to help them understand what may have happened. They have little to cling to but the fight itself--the struggle to keep their cases on government agendas and in the headlines.
"It's very, very important," Osange Kieffer said, "because it means the cloak of silence cannot fall."

WCC's Oldest Building Celebrates 40 Years of Learning
As you look down the pristine halls of WCC's Technical & Industrial building and beyond the students walking briskly to class, you can almost feel the excitement that heralded its inaugural semester 40 years ago in January 1970. Today, TI is a thriving new environment for a diverse array of disciplines and non-traditional learning programs.
One of the programs receiving a lot of attention in the new Michigan economy is digital video film production, which relocated to renovated space in TI this fall. The move expands instructional facilities to include a studio with a control room enhanced by new technical equipment. It also adds the capability of seating a small studio audience for filming. In addition, the new facilities give students the opportunity to create a seemingly endless choice of backgrounds and special effects with the help of a green-screen studio.
"The new space has opened up a world of possibilities for our students," said Matt Zacharias, a digital video instructor. "In addition to the spaces mentioned, there's a large lab with editing stations. Now students can conceptualize and script a film in the studio, shoot special effects for it, and edit it all in adjacent spaces, which is a huge convenience. It greatly enhances and facilitates the workflow for our students."
Fall Semester also marked the nursing program's move from the Occupational Education building to the second floor of TI, with classrooms opening into a scenic corridor overlooking the north side of campus. Adjacent to them are classroom and lab space for the pharmacy technology program, complete with a walk-up window like that found in most pharmacies.
The second floor is now home to the basic nursing assistant class, a state-approved 90-contact-hour program. WCC serves as a regional testing site for the Michigan Certified Nursing Assistant certificate. This fall you'll also find non-credit classes in health science, such as phlebotomy and nursing refresher. Below them on the first floor tucked way on the northwest corner are lab classrooms for the physical therapist assistant program.
"The first thing you notice as a nursing student is how bright and open it is there on the second floor," said Granville Lee, dean of Health and Applied Technology. "The new facilities were designed by faculty. It's not necessarily more space but more customized space, and we're still looking at enhancements. One idea is to change out the tables in a classroom to hide the computer monitors under the desktops, allowing for multipurpose and multiple scheduling options."
TI is the new home for studies in broadcast arts, music appreciation, and ceramics, and has remained the learning center for computer and electrical/electronics studies. WCC's student newspaper, The Washtenaw Voice, recently moved into TI. The building also is home to two non-traditional programs, the Washtenaw Technical Middle College, chartered by WCC, and the Young Adult Transition Program, which is run by the Washtenaw Intermediate School District.
Many of these changes were made possible by repurposing square footage and installing a second floor in what was once the largest classroom on campus, the TI Big Shop. This 14,000-square-foot, two-story open space once represented half of the original building footprint and housed vocational studies in machine tool, robotics, and fluid power. As manufacturing careers shifted focus, the programs also changed. With a new emphasis on fabrication and innovation, the industrial technology program is now housed in facilities on the west side of campus.
The reworking and refitting of TI occurred in phases over the last several years. And despite its thorough and comprehensive overhaul, the building has retained its charm.
"The signage in T&I sets a new standard for campus," said Bill Ghrist, a facilities systems analyst who has an office on the second floor. "We used a wayfinding approach to the new signs. Ceiling signs indicate common areas such as restrooms, offices, and vending areas. We put directional maps in strategic locations like the lobby and across from the elevator. You'll also notice the large painted wall at the end of a hall with a silver arrow pointing in either direction. That indicates which way to turn."
While the signage and new paint on many of the old walls draw immediate attention, there are other important changes that visitors won't notice when they walk down the building's bright corridors. For example, new air handling systems now provide better filtration capabilities, and lighting upgrades save on energy and glare. These updates meet new green building standards and help qualify for Gold LEED certification, which TI is now likely to achieve, said Damon Flowers, associate vice president of facilities and development.
Today's emphasis on green technology is one of the contrasts to life in 1970, when computer mainframes filled an entire room and manufacturing was the predominant industry in the greater Washtenaw County area. Forty years later, WCC's Technical & Industrial building reflects the new direction in careers and learning that underscores life in the 21st century.

Pruitt v. Sebelius (Oklahoma Case)
Eastern District of Oklahoma
The State of Oklahoma
The Federal Government
Ronald A. White
Case number:
Status: Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt filed this case in January of 2011. During the Supreme Court hearing of HHS v. Florida, this case was put under a Stay of Proceedings. The Stay was lifted after the Supreme Court ruled. In September 2012, Plaintiffs amended the complaint to include a challenge to a May 2012 IRS rule extending the law's Premium Assistance Tax Credits to health exchanges operated under Section 1321 by the federal government. Plaintiffs allege that this rule has no basis in the Affordable Care Act and goes against the letter and intent of the law. The case is now before the Eastern District of Oklahoma. Old England's Lion and Rose restaurants have made a Motion to Intervene and to join the case as private-sector plaintiffs, who would be harmed by the employer taxes triggered by the Premium Assistance Tax Credits in Oklahoma's federally operated health exchange.

Social Media Increasingly Plays a Big Role in Public Safety
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Contributor
Middle Eastern revolutions and national ad campaigns are not the only situations that benefit from social media. Natural disaster communications also can be greatly helped by effectively harnessing the opportunities of social media.
"Communication reliability depends upon how we engage through the media, and new media is the conduit through which we negotiate those relationships," noted Marya L. Doerfel Ph.D., an associate professor at Rutgers University who focuses on natural disaster communications in a recent Alcatel-Lucent LifeTalk article, Social Media, Relationships Boost Emergency Communications.
Rich Communications Suite -- SP Tool to Monetize the New Social Conversation Experience
By Mae Kowalke
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, service providers (SPs) are staying one step ahead by finding new and innovative ways monetize their offerings. For providers who recognize and leverage it effectively, the emerging new social conversation experience arising from the pervasive adaption and use of social media is proving to be a valuable tool in this endeavor.
Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) has been busy developing solutions for fixed and mobile SPs to help them leverage the evolution of social media. On the mobility side, much of this development has been focused on two technical projects—Rich Communication Suite (RCS) and RCS-enhanced (RCS-e)—led by the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA).
In a recent white paper, "Building a Social Conversation Experience with RCS and RCS-E," Alcatel-Lucent researchers explain that RCS (developed in 2008) is intended to: "Leverage the global interoperability and ubiquity of existing voice services and Short Message Services (SMSs) and enrich them with Internet-type features more in line with user demand."

I'm often asked how I choose the books that I'm going to talk about on Morning Edition's "Under the Radar" segments. Simple: I just pick some of the titles that I've most enjoyed since the last time I was on, without concern for whether they're fiction or nonfiction, genre or not, or aimed or classified as being for children or teens.
Because I am an omnivorous reader, at first glance my choices always seem to me to be completely higgledy-piggledy, with no book bearing any similarity to any other. Certainly some of these books have elements in common. Among Others and The Double Game could both be described as "booky." America Aflame and Color of Lightning are both about the Civil War. But beyond that, I can't see much that these titles have in common with one another besides my deep enjoyment of them.
Let's catch up now, as we occasionally do on books we may have missed. Librarian Nancy Pearl stops by from time to time to share reading recommendations, what she calls Under the Radar Books. So let's start with a history here, "America Aflame: How the Civil War Created a Nation," but it is not solely about combat of the Civil War.
NANCY PEARL: In fact, I think that David Goldfield's book, it's light on combat and big on context and nuance. His feeling is that the Civil War, that there didn't need to be a war to solve the problem of slavery and the Union. What he felt drove the nation to war was the sort of exponential growth, in both the North and the South, of evangelical Christianity.
And I have to say this is a book that made me really look back at my assumptions and my beliefs - the kind of received knowledge that you get when your kid - and start reassessing them. Because the book is set over 1834 to 1876, basically...
INSKEEP: Much, much wider frame than just the four years of the war, right?
PEARL: Hugely, and he talks about all different aspects of society; the building of the railroads, the treatment of the American Indians, the Gold Rush - I thought that was a fascinating part in the book - and shows what the effects of those years leading up to the war and the hectoring from the pulpits about good and evil. It seemed, in many ways, he could be talking about our society today.
INSKEEP: Which is, of course, what happens with history books. People will write them and they are about a past time, but they're also a reflection of our own time. It's almost the conversation between eras.
PEARL: It is. And I think that that's one of the reasons why there have been so many books about the Civil War, say, because each time we reinterpret that war out of our own sensibilities.
INSKEEP: You have also sent us a fictional look at history here, set in 1943. The novel is called "Code Name Verity."
PEARL: "Code Name Verity" is a novel written for teens, although I do think that adults would enjoy it, as well. It's the story of two girls, Maddie and Julie -Maddie is British, Julie is Scottish - and their work for the government during World War II. The book opens up on a very suspenseful scene. Julie has been captured by the Nazis in occupied France and she agrees to confess everything that she knows about the British war effort.
I don't want to say anything else about the book because I think that I just want other people to meet the novel without any preconceptions.
INSKEEP: Well, you know, when you say World War II novel you get a particular story in your head. It's something that's been written about so much and shown on the screen so much, that I'm sure one of the challenges for any writer, at the beginning of a project like that, is to ask what can I add that will not seem like it's already been done.
PEARL: And one of the things that Elizabeth Wein added to this book, or the reason she wrote this book, was really to explore the role of young women in the British war effort. And it's a subject that we don't see a lot of fiction about, at all, for teens. And to have such a wonderful example of that here, with "Code Name Verity," is just splendid.
INSKEEP: Well, let's move from World War II to the postwar era, the Cold War, because there's a novel here called "The Double Game."
PEARL: "The Double Game," by Dan Fesperman, is one of those books that will especially appeal to anyone who loves spy novels, as I do. The main character in this book is a man - now middle-aged man - but when he was a young cub reporter starting out, he was interviewing a man named Edwin Lemaster, who was one of the top spies during the Cold War. And in that conversation, he reveals to Bill that he had thought of going over to the Russians and becoming a double agent.
Now, fast forward 20 years. He gets an anonymous note one day, saying to him, You didn't investigate what Lemaster said thoroughly enough. One of the best parts of this book is that many of the clues, some of the plot points, are physically found within various spy novels...
INSKEEP: Wait a minute. You find some of the clues, or rather, inside the book, some of the clues are found within books that are lying around.
PEARL: Yes, or they are on pages that have been torn out from these classic spy novels.
INSKEEP: You love books about books, books that feature books, I think.
PEARL: I do. I do and I especially appreciate it when, as Dan Fesperman did at the end of this book, there is a pages-long bibliography of what he regards as the best spy novels ever.
INSKEEP: You have also sent us a novel calls "Heft" by Liz Moore. What is it?
PEARL: Liz Moore's novel "Heft" is one of those books that is just perfect for people who love character-driven fiction. And it's the story of two people who are lonely and feeling isolated. One is literally isolated and that's Arthur Opp, who was once a literature professor at a kind of community college in New York. Now he's 58. He's a recluse weighing 550 pounds. He's living in the house where he grew up.
The other main character is a young man, a teenager named Kel Keller who's handsome and popular, and he's an extremely talented high school baseball player who really wants to make it to the Bigs.
Their connection is slowly revealed through the novel, so that it's one of those books where you really get to know the characters so well, that when you're finished with the book you feel bereft of their company.
INSKEEP: Hmm. I'm reminded of a colleague years ago who said of a novel that she loved: I slowed down reading it because I didn't want it to end.
PEARL: Yes. And I think that "Heft" is one of - well, I have to say, I think most of these books that I'm talking them talking about today have that quality for me.
INSKEEP: Nancy Pearl, thanks for coming by.
PEARL: My pleasure, Steve.
INSKEEP: She's the author of "Book Lust to Go" and a regular guest on this program. And you can find a list of all of Nancy's Under the Radar reads at NPR.org.

Event ID 535 — TBS Operation
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
This version of Windows includes TPM Base Services (TBS), a component similar to an Application Programming Interface (API) , that allows the operating system and application programs to communicate with and share the use of a Trusted Platform Module chip in the computer. The BitLocker Drive Encryption feature uses the TPM by default. Failures or unexpected results encountered by the TBS can result in the TBS or the TPM driver logging event messages.
Event Details
|Windows Operating System
|Symbolic Name:
|A new TBS context could not be created because there are too many open contexts.
Restart the application or the computer
In order to successfully use services provided by the Trusted Platform Module, applications (including components of Windows, such as BitLocker) communicate with the TPM by using TPM Base Services (TBS) and an application programming interface (API), and must receive the expected results. Each application using TBS may expect the TPM to be in a particular state.
To resolve this condition, try each of the following steps, as required:
- Close the application and then re-open it.
- Restart the computer.
If this error condition continues and none of the above steps resolves the issue, try each of the following steps, as required:
- Ensure that the TPM hardware is functioning correctly.
- Verify that the application is compatible with this version of Windows.
- Verify that the application is compatible with the version of the TPM that is installed.
In these cases, contact your hardware manufacturer, software publisher, or support team, as appropriate.
To perform this procedure, you must have membership in Users, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
To verify the correct operation of TBS:
- Restart the computer.
- Verify that all applications and components that use the TPM, such as BitLocker Drive Encryption, work correctly without errors appearing on screen or in the Event log. Specifically, the following steps can verify the correct operation of BitLocker:
- Verify that Windows Welcome Screen, Logon Screen or Desktop appears. This indicates that BitLocker has correctly unlocked the Windows operating system volume.
- Log on to Windows and access any data volumes that are encrypted with BitLocker.
Note: Data volumes can be configured to be automatically unlocked or to require manual unlocking.

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2004 Media Releases
Mayor Coleen J. Seng today invited the public to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the historic Old City Hall building at a community party Saturday, October 9 in downtown Lincoln.
"Old City Hall is one of Lincoln's historic and architectural treasures," Seng said. "It also is one of Lincoln's oldest and most dearly loved buildings, and well entitled to a birthday party."
Old City Hall is on the north side of "O" Street between 9th and 10th streets. The party will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in the public park area directly east of the building. At the party, Mayor Seng will unveil plans for a dramatic redevelopment of the park where the party will be held and announce a major private donation that will help finance the park restoration.
Construction of the building began in 1874. The building opened in 1879 as a federal courthouse and post office, and was converted to use as City Hall in 1905. The building served as City Hall until 1969, when a new government office building was built.
Since that time, Old City Hall has been home to a variety of government offices and non-profit organizations. It underwent significant restoration in the 1980s. Its current tenants include the Lincoln Arts Council, Leadership Lincoln and the County-City Property Management offices.
Saturday afternoon's festivities also will feature music, refreshments and tours of Old City Hall and portions of the Federal Place project on the north half of the block.
"Old City Hall is a beautiful and enduring landmark in our community, " Mayor Seng said."I also am excited about the new park planned on the block. I invite everyone to join us on Saturday for a fresh look at our past and a glimpse of our future. "

Sometimes I use Google Translate to look up Spanish words I don't know, to double check Spanish I do know, or just to play around. Sometimes I type "Caliche" words into Google Translate to see what it manages to come up with, if anything at all.
"Caliche" (ka-lee-chay), is the type of Spanish spoken in El Salvador and other parts of Central America. They have a lot of unique words and phrases, many of which come from Nawat, (a language of indigenous peoples in the region before the arrival of the Spaniards.)
Being married to a Salvadoran, and immersed in the Caliche of my suegra, has really influenced my Spanish, sometimes more than I realize. Last year we were riding the Metro in D.C. and a woman, who turned out to be Peruvian, was holding a baby. She seemed friendly enough, and the baby was too cute, so I couldn't resist asking to hold her – there was only one problem. The Peruvian woman didn't understand my Spanish! At first I thought maybe I just wasn't speaking clearly, that my accent was too gringa – so I repeated myself carefully.
"Podría chinear tu bebé?"
She still didn't understand me. Why is that? Because I had mistakenly used a Caliche word. "Chinear" in El Salvador means "to hold in the arms." (By the way, Suegra jumped in and repeated my request, making a rocking movement with her arms and the woman allowed me to hold the baby.)
A lot of the words I've learned over the years, I just file away as "new vocabulary," not knowing whether they are Spanish or Caliche. This doesn't become a problem until I speak to those from outside Central America.
The newest word to give me trouble is "cipote." I use "cipote," (see-po-tay) quite often. My kids respond to it just as they would their legal names. This word simply means "little boy/kid/niño." (A girl could be called a "cipota," (see-po-tah). But what happens when I ask Google Translate what it means?
I was really shocked that Google Translate could be so way off – but after a search around the internet, I found out that "cipote" in some other countries really does have a vulgar meaning.
Now I am imaging all the times I called out to my kids in public, "Cipote! Vengasé ya!" – and I'm wondering how many non-Caliche Spanish speakers misunderstood me.

Ok the killer bees and the rasberries had me laughing....
How about, so I can cross my legs the way I use to.
Or to wear a bra that does not look and feel like hardware instead of underwear.
I taped this list to my exercise mac. today. and inside the fridge. I am very very forgetful when it comes to food.
I too am going to Florida in June (DW). Everyone says it is going to be hot as heck, but I am ready to get off this rock. Good motivation!

Great Idea!
1. To be able to be active well into my twilight years (play with grandkids, enjoy active hobbies, etc.)

3. To be happy to be in family pictures again.
4. To never again worry about 'fitting' through a turnstile or on an amusement park ride.
5. To prove to myself that I am stronger than this food addiction and can do what I set out to accomplish (again!).
6. To wear form fitting jeans and be able to breathe at the same time.
7. To be able to tie my shoes or paint my toenails and breathe at the same time.
8. To enjoy shopping and wearing stylish clothes again.
9. To be able to have a wardrobe that will fit year to year and not have to buy new all the time because of my changing size.
10. To be smokin' hot in my 40's of course! : )

I haven't read everyone's because I want to come up with 10 reasons that are really just mine.
1. to make more room for my liver (it has a benign mass that I would like to keep because I'd like to avoid surgery, but I think my liver needs more room if I'm going to keep the mass without having indigestion and other symptoms).
2. be a better role model for my children when it comes to nutrition and health.
3. improve my self image in my own mind/better self esteem
4. I want to feel better all the time.
5. If I weigh 200 pounds when I'm 80, that'll suck.
6. I think I only have 5.
DISCLAIMER: I expect to lose this weight over the next 6 months to 5 years. I'm not going to feel like a failure if it takes an entire month to lose 1 pound. I'm going to feel like a success when that happens! I may offer advice that I'm currently not taking myself. Feel free to call me on that!

Hello! also- what is going on with the RDI?
You can double check with another site and see. Better to leave exercise out when you do these calculations.

Flats can be super trendy without looking grandma-ish and go with a lot of outfits.
Here are a few great pairs that I think every women should have and enjoy!
How great would these be with a pair of skinny jeans or in the office with a grey or black pant?
I'd love these for the spring and summer. They'd be perfect with a white pant, shorts or an above the knee dress / skirt.
So tell me, have you jumped on the ballet flat bandwagon? Which pair is your favourite?

In this paper we generalize the notion of method for proofplanning. While we adopt the general structure of methods introducedby Alan Bundy, we make an essential advancement in that we strictlyseparate the declarative knowledge from the procedural knowledge. Thischange of paradigm not only leads to representations easier to under-stand, it also enables modeling the important activity of formulatingmeta-methods, that is, operators that adapt the declarative part of exist-ing methods to suit novel situations. Thus this change of representationleads to a considerably strengthened planning mechanism.After presenting our declarative approach towards methods we describethe basic proof planning process with these. Then we define the notion ofmeta-method, provide an overview of practical examples and illustratehow meta-methods can be integrated into the planning process.
Guaranteeing Correctness through the Communication of Checkable Proofs(or: Would You Really Trust an Automated Reasoning System?) (1999)
Die Beweisentwicklungsumgebung Omega-Mkrp soll Mathematiker bei einer ihrer Haupttätigkeiten, nämlich dem Beweisen mathematischer Theoreme unterstützen. Diese Unterstützung muß so komfortabel sein, daß die Beweise mit vertretbarem Aufwand formal durchgeführt werden können und daß die Korrektheit der so erzeugten Beweise durch das System sichergestellt wird. Ein solches System wird sich nur dann wirklich durchsetzen, wenn die rechnergestützte Suche nach formalen Beweisen weniger aufwendig und leichter ist, als ohne das System. Um dies zu erreichen, ergeben sich verschiedene Anforderungen an eine solche Entwicklungsumgebung, die wir im einzelnen beschreiben. Diese betreffen insbesondere die Ausdruckskraft der verwendeten Objektsprache, die Möglichkeit, abstrakt über Beweispläne zu reden, die am Menschen orientierte Präsentation der gefundenen Beweise, aber auch die effiziente Unterstützung beim Füllen von Beweislücken. Das im folgenden vorgestellte Omega-Mkrp-System ist eine Synthese der Ansätze des vollautomatischen, des interaktiven und des planbasierten Beweisens und versucht erstmalig die Ergebnisse dieser drei Forschungsrichtungen in einem System zu vereinigen. Dieser Artikel soll eine Übersicht über unsere Arbeit an diesem System geben.
Extending the planADbased paradigm for auto-mated theorem proving, we developed in previ-ous work a declarative approach towards rep-resenting methods in a proof planning frame-work to support their mechanical modification.This paper presents a detailed study of a classof particular methods, embodying variations ofa mathematical technique called diagonaliza-tion. The purpose of this paper is mainly two-fold. First we demonstrate that typical math-ematical methods can be represented in ourframework in a natural way. Second we illus-trate our philosophy of proof planning: besidesplanning with a fixed repertoire of methods,metaADmethods create new methods by modify-ing existing ones. With the help of three differ-ent diagonalization problems we present an ex-ample trace protocol of the evolution of meth-ods: an initial method is extracted from a par-ticular successful proof. This initial method isthen reformulated for the subsequent problems,and more general methods can be obtained byabstracting existing methods. Finally we comeup with a fairly abstract method capable ofdealing with all the three problems, since it cap-tures the very key idea of diagonalization.
This paper describes a declarative approach forencoding the plan operators in proof planning,the so-called methods. The notion of methodevolves from the much studied concept of a tac-tic and was first used by A. Bundy. Signific-ant deductive power has been achieved withthe planning approach towards automated de-duction; however, the procedural character ofthe tactic part of methods hinders mechanicalmodification. Although the strength of a proofplanning system largely depends on powerfulgeneral procedures which solve a large class ofproblems, mechanical or even automated modi-fication of methods is necessary, since methodsdesigned for a specific type of problems willnever be general enough. After introducing thegeneral framework, we exemplify the mechan-ical modification of methods via a particularmeta-method which modifies methods by trans-forming connectives to quantifiers.
This report presents the main ideas underlyingtheOmegaGamma mkrp-system, an environmentfor the development of mathematical proofs. The motivation for the development ofthis system comes from our extensive experience with traditional first-order theoremprovers and aims to overcome some of their shortcomings. After comparing the benefitsand drawbacks of existing systems, we propose a system architecture that combinesthe positive features of different types of theorem-proving systems, most notably theadvantages of human-oriented systems based on methods (our version of tactics) andthe deductive strength of traditional automated theorem provers.In OmegaGamma mkrp a user first states a problem to be solved in a typed and sorted higher-order language (called POST ) and then applies natural deduction inference rules inorder to prove it. He can also insert a mathematical fact from an integrated data-base into the current partial proof, he can apply a domain-specific problem-solvingmethod, or he can call an integrated automated theorem prover to solve a subprob-lem. The user can also pass the control to a planning component that supports andpartially automates his long-range planning of a proof. Toward the important goal ofuser-friendliness, machine-generated proofs are transformed in several steps into muchshorter, better-structured proofs that are finally translated into natural language.This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, SFB 314 (D2, D3)
This paper concerns a knowledge structure called method , within a compu-tational model for human oriented deduction. With human oriented theoremproving cast as an interleaving process of planning and verification, the body ofall methods reflects the reasoning repertoire of a reasoning system. While weadopt the general structure of methods introduced by Alan Bundy, we make anessential advancement in that we strictly separate the declarative knowledgefrom the procedural knowledge. This is achieved by postulating some stand-ard types of knowledge we have identified, such as inference rules, assertions,and proof schemata, together with corresponding knowledge interpreters. Ourapproach in effect changes the way deductive knowledge is encoded: A newcompound declarative knowledge structure, the proof schema, takes the placeof complicated procedures for modeling specific proof strategies. This change ofparadigm not only leads to representations easier to understand, it also enablesus modeling the even more important activity of formulating meta-methods,that is, operators that adapt existing methods to suit novel situations. In thispaper, we first introduce briefly the general framework for describing methods.Then we turn to several types of knowledge with their interpreters. Finally,we briefly illustrate some meta-methods.
In this article we formally describe a declarative approach for encoding plan operatorsin proof planning, the so-called methods. The notion of method evolves from the much studiedconcept tactic and was first used by Bundy. While significant deductive power has been achievedwith the planning approach towards automated deduction, the procedural character of the tacticpart of methods, however, hinders mechanical modification. Although the strength of a proofplanning system largely depends on powerful general procedures which solve a large class ofproblems, mechanical or even automated modification of methods is nevertheless necessary forat least two reasons. Firstly methods designed for a specific type of problem will never begeneral enough. For instance, it is very difficult to encode a general method which solves allproblems a human mathematician might intuitively consider as a case of homomorphy. Secondlythe cognitive ability of adapting existing methods to suit novel situations is a fundamentalpart of human mathematical competence. We believe it is extremely valuable to accountcomputationally for this kind of reasoning.The main part of this article is devoted to a declarative language for encoding methods,composed of a tactic and a specification. The major feature of our approach is that the tacticpart of a method is split into a declarative and a procedural part in order to enable a tractableadaption of methods. The applicability of a method in a planning situation is formulatedin the specification, essentially consisting of an object level formula schema and a meta-levelformula of a declarative constraint language. After setting up our general framework, wemainly concentrate on this constraint language. Furthermore we illustrate how our methodscan be used in a Strips-like planning framework. Finally we briefly illustrate the mechanicalmodification of declaratively encoded methods by so-called meta-methods.

Iranian protesters defied the hard line regime and clashed with riot police in Tehran Wednesday, throwing rocks and shouting anti-government slogans before cops dispersed them with beatings, tear gas and live bullets, witnesses said.
Security forces appeared to vastly outnumber the demonstrators in the confrontation in Baharestan Square, witnesses told The Associated Press. They said some demonstrators fought back while others fled to another Tehran plaza, Sepah Square, about a mile to the north. The violence underscored the regime's determined efforts to end the protests that have been occurring since the disputed presidential election.
At least 17 protesters have been killed since the June 12 election, which hard line incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won over reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi. The dead include Neda Soldan, the 26-year-old woman whose slaying by a sniper was captured on cellphone video and posted on the Internet, becoming a rallying cry for opposition forces in Iran and around the world.
While demonstrations have dwindled from estimates reaching one million to the several hundred reported Wednesday, Iranians are using more subtle means to express their anger at the elections and the regime's brutality. Residents have been turning on the headlights of cars, refusing to go to work, shouting from rooftops and holding up posters since being banned by the government from gathering in public.
"People are calmly protesting, more symbolically than with their voices," a Tehran resident said in a telephone interview, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of government retribution.
Perhaps fearing that mourning the dead could fan the flames of anger against the government, the bodies of slain protesters have been quickly buried by the government and there have been reports of families being charged $3,000 "bullet fees" to reclaim their dead.
Initially, Mousavi supporters flooded the streets of Tehran and other cities after the vote, massing by the hundreds of thousands in protests larger than any since Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution. Security forces initially stood by and permitted the demonstrations. But the government, which is controlled by Ayatollah Khamenei and a council of clerics, has shown no quarter. It has refused to revisit the election and its harsh measures have quelled public protests.
The government has also been broadcasting "confessions" by arrested protesters, in which they denounce their own actions and blame the U.S. and Britain for inspiring the demonstrations. On Wednesday, Iranian authorities said they have arrested several foreign nationals "with links to the West and Israel," accusing them of planning bombings and spreading propaganda, according to CNN.
Mousavi, who has defiantly said he is ready to become a martyr for the opposition movement and urged protesters to use the nonviolent tactics of Gandhi, under 24-hour guard by secret police and no longer able to communicate with the protesters who have been rallying around his campaign, according to the British newspaper the Independent. Iranian newspapers sympathetic to the regime on Wednesday called for the arrest of Mousavi, a former prime minister.
Mousavi's Web site had said a protest was planned near the parliament building on Wednesday, but the candidate said it was not organized by him. However, Mousavi's wife, Zahra Rahnavard, a former university dean who campaigned beside him, said on another of his Web sites that his followers had the constitutional right to protest and the government should not deal with them "as if martial law has been imposed in the streets."
She called for the release of all activists and others arrested at protests. A third candidate in the election, Mahdi Karroubi, has called for the day of mourning on Thursday to lament the slain protesters.
Meanwhile, the dubious election and vicious tactics of the hard line regime continued to isolate the Iranian government internationally. President Obama on Tuesday said the world is "appalled and outraged" by Tehran's actions, and called the video of Neda's death "heartbreaking." Britain kicked Iranian diplomats out of the country and dissident expatriates continued to condemn Khamenei and Ahmadinejad.
Iranian Nobel Peace laureate Shirin Ebadi asked European Union officials in Brussels not to negotiate or hold meetings with Iranian leaders until the crackdown stops.
In Rome, Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf said he had been asked by Mousavi aides to spread the word on what is happening in Iran. Makhmalbaf said that even if Ahmadinejad manages to govern for the next four years, "he will not have one day of quietness," with protesters continuing their passive protests with general strikes and civil resistance.
"The regime, arguably, is losing ground, not the protests," he said. "Ordinary Iranians are openly rejecting the legitimacy and power of Ayatollah Khamanei. That is entirely new, unheard of."

|Peony Cupcake Placecards
This party favor idea (you might remember my tulip version from Valentine's Day) serves many purposes :
* Flower Arrangement/Welcome Table Flowers
* Escort Card/Place Card
* Centerpiece/Table Decor
* Dessert
* Favor
Peonies are great for this concept because they are edible. Just be sure they come from your pesticide free yard, or an organic grower.
How To :
1) Start with jumbo cupcakes - I like chocolate for the visual effect of 'dirt'. The cupcakes can be store-bought, homemade or semi-homemade using a mix.
2) Top with chocolate or vanilla icing (store-bought is fine) or use my homemade buttercream frosting recipe (a very easy way to make cake mix cupcakes taste even better).
3) Dip the iced cupcakes into Oreas that have been through the food processor or crushed in a bag.
4) Insert the peony into the cupcake just before guests arrive (as it is not a good water source for the flower).
5) Insert skewers with name labels.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Members of The Missouri 100, an advisory group to the University of Missouri System president, recently made a $5,000 donation to the University of Missouri's Brady and Anne Deaton Institute for University Leadership in International Development. The contribution, awarded at the organization's annual fall meeting, was to acknowledge Chancellor Brady Deaton for his service to the university and show support for his next chapter.
"The Missouri 100 wanted to recognize Brady for all he has done for Mizzou during the past 24 years," Missouri 100 Tri-chair Dudley McCarter said. "Knowing his passion for international collaboration in higher education and his interest in global issues involving food production, economic challenges and environmental concerns, we thought that a donation to the new Institute would be the best way to honor and thank him for his dedication to higher education in Missouri."
Having served many roles at MU including professor, chair, chief of staff, deputy chancellor, and provost, Deaton is set to retire as chancellor Nov. 15, 2013, but will continue employment at the university as the executive director of the institute.
"I am so grateful for the support of the Brady and Anne Deaton Institute demonstrated by The Missouri 100. What a total and delightful surprise this was," Deaton said. "Their financial commitment is important both symbolically and materially. We pledge our efforts to honor their trust by building a program of merit and relevance to the mission of the university."
Members of The Missouri 100 advise and assist the president in promoting the critical role of the University of Missouri System in our state's future and its reputation around the world. The organization serves as a strong advocate for public policies and programs that promote the university's goals of excellence in teaching, world-class research, service to all our citizens, and stimulation of an entrepreneurial community.
