Welcome to AUP
Innovative Urban Education in Downtown Los Angeles
From our Head of School,Dr. Gary W. Woods
Greetings from AUP!
Whether you are a prospective student, parent, or simply interested in learning more about our people and programs, I'm pleased to welcome you.
AUP is an exciting boarding high school located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles. We are the very first international boarding high school to be located in such a vibrant part of the city.
It is fair to say that AUP is quickly becoming the only school of its kind in the country—a global village located in a city center that enjoys the unequalled resources of Southern California and is situated within minutes of the University of California at Los Angeles and the University of Southern California. Fortuitously sited on the edge of the Pacific Rim, AUP is rightly situated to participate in the successes to come in the 21st Century.
At the heart of AUP, you will find talented faculty and staff who have high degrees of expertise in their field, communicate well with students, and are committed to helping all students grow academically, socially and personally. AUP students create meaningful relationships with teachers, advisers, coaches and peers. Surrounded by peers who share their values, AUP students are eager to come to school each day, develop lifelong friendships, and actively support one another's success.
I invite you to explore further the multiple sections of the webpage. Please come for a visit, open house or campus tour and meet our students, faculty and families. We want you to experience American University Preparatory School first-hand, to learn by doing as we encourage our students to do.
I hope to see you on campus soon so we can share with you the remarkable teaching and learning that occurs each day here at AUP.
All the best,
Dr. Gary W. Woods

We didn't always live in a 24-hour economy. In the not-so-distant past, work ended when the sun went down and resumed when it rose again. Technology made it possible to light and power workplaces around the clock. But to capitalize on that possibility, businesses had to find people willing to work those hours.
The broadcasting day used to end shortly after midnight, and night-owls often wakened to the sound of static and a view of gray horizontal bands on the tv screen. When the networks decided to broadcast around the clock, they had to find enough content to fill all those hours.
At one time, news was delivered once daily in a newspaper, and on the evening news, which ran for 30 minutes at supper time and was repeated – with some new content – just before bed. When the news media decided to run 24 hours, they had to find content to fill all those hours.
And that is a problem.
No doubt our current economic problems are real. By the time the indexes settle this will likely be the worst recession since the depression. But even if I'm wrong; even if the economy settles now at levels more positive than the recessions of the 1970s and 1980s, neither of those recessions will hold a candle to this recession in one respect: Hype and drama.
I hold the 24-hour news cycle largely responsible for this problem and they share the blame equally. If your preferred flavor of 24-hour news is Fox or MSNBC or anything in between, every time you turn on the TV or fire up a website you are assaulted with economy hype. Add to this problem the facts that a) at best, TV journalists have a populist understanding of economics and b) TV journalists are paid relative to their viewership and ratings, and you are not only assaulted with economy hype, but you are also assaulted with information that has been spun, misunderstood, misrepresented, or all three.
Have you considered who the news media rely on most for ideas and stories? Each other. They monitor one another with the rabid fascination born of cutthroat competition, producing results that sometimes look like a child's game of telephone. The sheer number of news outlets, bloggers, financial company public relations departments and special interests produce so much news that the media has little or no time to fully evaluate or validate stories before throwing them out to the insatiable news public.
That's us.
What's an insatiable news consumer to do? It depends on your motivation. If your motivation is to be entertained by news, just keep watching what you're watching and don't worry about quality. If you're consuming the news for knowledge, you'll need to be more discriminating.
A good example is Warren Buffett's 2/27/09 annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders. All news outlets reported on the message, and the spin you received depends on which flavor of news you favor. I noticed that few media outlets linked Warren Buffett's actual letter to their news reporting, which is rather strange considering that links are free. A curious person would pull the letter and read it for him or herself.
That curious person would discover that Warren Buffett refuses to do something we seem to want our news media to do. He refuses to draw conclusions that cannot be drawn. Buffett educates by providing interesting facts interspersed with his analysis, which is clearly identified as his own potentially flawed analysis. By communicating with us in this manner, Buffett demonstrates that he respects our intelligence far more than the news outlets do.
Let's consider another good example of your need to be discriminating when consuming economic news. Economists espouse contradictory opinions about the current economic situation. Depending on which flavor of news you favor, you are likely hearing from one school of economists or another, and the school of thought your news outlet is subscribing to has probably been selected to be supportive of their philosophical bias.
I know a fellow who constantly travels the world, and everywhere he goes he eats at McDonald's. When he's not traveling, he eats at home or he eats at . . . McDonald's. Clearly he has limited his gastronomic experience.
But this is how most people consume their news.
So. The 24-hour news cycle requires 24-hour news content. The news world looks to itself for reportage. The competition to produce stories leads to little – or rushed – thought and analysis. News consumers dislike ambiguity and crave comfort, so the news media spoon-feeds us certainty and pre-approved bias. The result? Very few people understand the current economy, economic history, or the potential pitfalls and promise of various solutions.
Do yourself a huge favor. Pull the source of news whenever it's available. Better yet, stop getting your economics information from news outlets, and rely on these highly respected sources instead (note: I have a strong preference for centrist, non-partisan, private think tanks. I have indicated institutes which have a distinguishable bias, but which are still providing excellent research. I have avoided think tanks which exist to advance liberal and conservative agendas):
• The National Bureau of Economic Research
• Institute for International Economics
• Brookings Institute
• The Century Foundation
• The Jerome Levy Economics Institute of Bard College
• Public Agenda
• The Cato Institute (libertarian)
• The Economic Policy Institute (center left)
• The Committee for Economic Development (center right)
Does this seem like extra work? It is. And as I said earlier, if you simply watch news for entertainment, it's not work that would be valuable to you. But if you're losing sleep over the economy, considering the best route to take with your business, deciding whether or not to switch jobs right now, or weighing the benefits of hitting the interview circuit versus starting your own business, you deserve to be informed.
Informed is significantly different than instructed. Instructed will provide answers, but unless you've selected an incredibly intelligent, unbiased teacher who is respected by even those who disagree with him or her, you can't count on receiving useful answers. The result of informed is messy, ambiguous, and producing of more questions than answers. But it is informed that will empower you to actually think about the economy and make better decisions about your life.
Perhaps most valuable of all, every minute you spend conducting valid research on the economy is a minute you haven't wasted being frightened by the 24-hour news cycle's latest bogeyman.

Leading oncology aesthetics educator coming to NZ
Leading oncology aesthetics educator coming to NZ - don't miss the opportunity
Background: Ruth Nicholson event Director of Beauty Tech Conference is big on bringing medical grade education to the beauty industry, she has already done this with opening up melanoma awareness and education for the past 5 years and continues to do so with other relevant topics that seem to be missed out of the everyday education of beauty professionals. Oncology aesthetics is a fairly new word in NZ and Ruth believes that further awareness of this specialised area of training should be discussed, as cancer is all around us and we can all relate to this topic.
Cancer survivors enjoy going to a spa as this offers them a truly holistic mind-body-spirit experience, this allows them time to relax and unwind from the stresses of dealing with invasive treatments and physiological issues around scarring, medications and general malaise felt during their journey.
Cancer treatments undertaken may cause skin injury that require special care:
- Radiation therapy causes inflammation to the skin in the treated area.
- Many cancer drugs can cause inflammation, cracking, peeling, and acne.
- Surgical wounds disrupt the protective barrier of the skin and can serve as route for bacteria, viruses and chemicals to enter more easily into the body.
So how can our beauty professioanl assist with these clients needs?
- Spa treatments that include massage that use heat or friction should be avoided in the areas of the body that are undergoing cancer treatment unless approved by your cancer doctor. We recommend only using spa therapists who have experience and training in working with cancer patients as there are many issues that are pertinent to giving a massage to someone with cancer or a history of cancer. It is important that your spa therapist ask you for information pertaining to your cancer treatment in order to personalize each and every treatment you have. Different side effects can occur during treatment.
- Hygiene is of critical importance. Spa therapists should know how to explain how they disinfect all equipment, surfaces, tools, and water baths. Sanitation and infection control regulations are governed by local councils in NZ, and spas are required to abide by these regulations. The skin is very vulnerable to infections during cancer treatments, so clinics need to be vigilant in making sure their spa is taking every precaution to keep their clients safe.
Morag will be hosting her own training event on the Tuesday 23rd May.

text: MOVIES Planned Russian Studio Complex Faces Uncertain Future as Partner Pulls Out 2:22 AM PDT 10/17/2013 by Vladimir Kozlov FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Broadcaster VGTRK sells its 49 percent stake to partner Sistema, raising questions about the outlook for what was to become the country's largest studio facility in St. Petersburg. MOSCOW – Russia's state-run broadcaster VGTRK is pulling out of the St Petersburg-based Lenfilm XXI studio project, leaving the future of the development uncertain. VGTRK is selling its 49 percent stake in the project to the other partner, Sistema Mass Media (SMM), the Russian business daily Kommersant reported on Oct. 17. PHOTOS: THR Russian Edition Launch Party in Moscow The report also quoted a source familiar with the project as saying that a decision about the future of the project, which was to become Russia's largest studio complex at the time of its inception two years ago, hasn't been made. Meanwhile, the situation on St Petersburg's studio facilities sector has changed dramatically since Lenfilm, the country's oldest studio complex, secured a $47.7 million (1.5 billion ruble) loan from the state-run bank VTB last year. With the appointment of producer/director Fyodor Bondarchuk as Lenfilm's head, the struggling studio embarked on a major renovation scheme. That development made the Lenfilm XXI project less relevant, especially given the fact that another major studio complex, the 120,000 square-foot Russian World Studios, controlled by SMM, operates in the city. The total investment in Lenfilm XXI was estimated to be $150 million (4.2 billion rubles), which VGTRK and SMM expected to attract as a loan from Vneshekonombank, but a deal was never reached. So far, the project has not progressed beyond the design stage. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Vladimir Kozlov firstname.lastname@example.com @thr

ITV wrist-slapped for showing video game as IRA attack
Not fined for YouTube rip and bungled riot coverage
ITV has escaped a fine for using video game footage to illustrate IRA activities, and portraying the wrong riot, but will tighten up procedures to stop it happening again.
The offending footage was supposed to show the IRA successfully shooting down a British Army helicopter, and was captioned "IRA Film 1988", but actually came from the first-person shooter called Arma 2. ITV accepted the mistake, and said it was an error of process – similar to the one that led to the same programme illustrating the Belfast riot that occurred in July 2011 with scenes from a much earlier outbreak of civil unrest.
Here's how ITV bungled: the video game footage was thought to be an uncut version of film used in an episode of The Cook Report from 1989, and wasn't properly checked as it should have been. The riot footage was supplied by a trusted local historian, but a miscommunication resulted in the wrong footage being shipped.
The process by which video game footage ended up in a broadcast documentary is examined in detail in Ofcom's report [PDF, details start on page 7], but basically ITV had a very short scene from The Cook Report and was delighted to find something better on YouTube. The YouTube video was labelled as real, and it's easy to believe something when it says just what you'd like it to.
That'll cost ITV an Arma and a leg: the video game footage
ITV reckons there was "no watermark or copy protection marked on the internet footage to indicate its source as being a video game" and the failure to check was down to "the pressure [the production team] were under in meeting the deadline for the programme's completion, delivery and broadcast".
So basically they rushed things to get the programme in the can, and got caught out. This time Ofcom has let them off with a slap on the wrist and an assurance that the broadcaster will try harder in future. ®

What if you could only bring back 5 pictures from your trip to Kauai?
I had a crazy thought the other day. You know how everyone passes through an agricultural check point entering and exiting Hawaii?
What if there was a check point that checked for photos upon leaving your favorite island, Kauai? And what if there was a limit to the number of pictures you were allowed to take back to the Mainland?
We talk about that today in Episode 15 … a little tongue-in-cheek conversation with Kauai by Stephanie and myself.
It's our Top 5 pictures we would take if in fact that is all we could keep.
Aloha. 🙂

Here's a color combination I definitely recommend–red and pink. If you're the type to shy away from styling bold colors together, you might want to give this a try as your first step. Unlike other bright and loud colors, pink and red don't overpower each other because they come from the same color family. So in effect, they make your outfit look seamless and cohesive. No clashing of the divas, just pure sisterly love.

Archaic Group
Size: 11 ft. 3 in. x 2 ft. 5 in.
337.5 cm. x 72.5 cm.
Plate One is animated and vibrant, quite unlike the serene presence of Plate Two. Visual differences aside, the similarity of materials, spinning, weaving, and dyeing all lead to the conclusion that these two kelims were woven contemporaneously, possibly by the same weaver. Were they made as a pair or is each half of a different pair? This question and in fact the larger issue of whether or not Plates Four or Five also had a matching other half can not be answered at this time. It is this writers opinion that the Archaic group kelims made in this format were, like later examples, also made in pairs. But unlike the later examples, these halves were designed to be viewed alone and not necessarily as part of a pair. Originally, they may have been displayed draped over a large object which created two panels, where each half appeared as a self-contained image.
The designs on these slit-tapestries are very different, as each was influenced by different styles of deity representation - Plate One utilizing the earlier prehistoric style and Plate Two the later historic style. This stylistic difference was based on the change from female or goddess centered beliefs to male or god centered. Such a change is well supported by the archaeological record, male effigies are almost nonexistent until c.2500BC but afterwards become the predominant style. During this time period, the late Bronze Age, male dominance was responsible for the centralization of political, economic and military power. These new conventions replaced the previous social, political as well as religious orientation based on the earlier less developed Paleolithic/Neolithic models. The differences in the ways the major designs were drawn was directly tied to this changeover and these two weavings must have had an important significance within the confines of the strict weaving culture which produced them.

China to Cancel Project to Turn Coal into Liquid Fuel
China's plans to put part of its abundant coal supply to use as methanol are likely being scrapped, over concerns about the great costs and energy required to liquefy coal. That coal mining is already quite dirty and that the coal-to-liquid (CTL) process produces large amounts of pollutants and greenhouse gases was not explicitly mentioned by the official who raised the possibility of such a move. "Liquefied coal projects consume a lot of energy, though the successful industrialization of liquefied coal could help reduce the country's dependence on petroleum," the anonymous official of the National Development and Reform Commission told Xinhua on Saturday.
Many, including John at Treehugger, heralded news of China's interest in "a major alternative fuel which does not exist in any other country in the world", that could produce 6 million tons of oil a year starting in 2008, not least because China is not oil rich, is growing increasingly dependent on petroleum, and, of course, has a hell of a lot of coal. Last year, as China's car population skyrocketed, it imported about 16.3 million tons of oil, driving up the country's reliance on foreign sources 4 percent to 47 percent. And despite concerns about its toxicity, methanol also burns cleaner than regular petroleum, and could prove cheaper too if gas prices go higher. Not to mention that it's not ethanol, which China has lately rejected for its threat to the nation's grain supply. In short, methanol seemed like a good solution to China's alternative energy needs...
But the fact is, methanol is highly polluting without the right technology to produce it. A report in April by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said liquid coal could lead to a 119 percent jump in greenhouse gases released per barrel of fuel if production and vehicle emissions were taken into account. At this stage, the technology for clean liquefication, such as carbon sequestration, is far from ready, certainly for China. Nuclear power for refining the oil has been floated as one "clean" option.
Still, no alternative energy is perfect, and China, like the rest of the world, needs some now. Just because the technology isn't there yet doesn't mean that it won't be with the right investment now. China is of course a great place for renewable energy investment (VC investment is up 159 percent this year), what with the government's interest in boosting cleantech innovation and the country's dire environmental situation. But if that investment is going to happen, at least in the case of CTL, it might need to start in the United States. For its part, China (in the wake of its climate change action plan) needs to continue thinking about how to improve energy conservation and efficiency, while gathering domestic and international investment into other alternative energies--and (cough) hopefully move away from coal altogether. : : Associated Press

Transcript: Lieutenant General Charles Hooper, Director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency
Defense.gov [1]
Washington, Sept. 5, 2018
Q: We were told in the pre-briefings that the arms trade with India has gone from, like, $0 in 2008 to 20 -- to $15 billion this year, and it could bump up to three billion -- another $3 billion by next year.
Broadly, what are some of the categories that would bump up the $3 billion?
LT. GEN. CHARLES HOOPER: Well first of all, my name is Lieutenant General Charlie Hooper and I'm the director of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
And as you know, my agency's responsible for a number of things: foreign military sales, defense institution building, excess defense articles among those.
There are four values that govern our relationship with -- with India, and our relationship with all our partners. And those four values are transparency, responsiveness, integrity and commitment.
And what I mean by those four values are -- transparency means that we share all the information that we have with our partners to allow them to make an informed decision on the types of capabilities that they would want.
And we're very confident that, when given all of the information that they need, they'll choose American systems and American services.
The second is responsiveness. We believe in being very responsive. As the secretary said, he's in constant contact with his counterpart and I'm in constant contact with my India counterpart, the director general for Acquisition.
Every time I see him, I provide him with a spreadsheet that updates all of our -- the status of all of our systems. And we have discussions on how we can better strengthen the partnership.
Integrity is a very important one. And I think integrity is a value that separates the U.S. approach to security cooperation, perhaps from some of the other approaches from some of our partners.
And that integrity means, quite simply, our books are always open. We don't charge one penny more than we have to for the finest systems and the finest services in the world. The books are always open, and we can account for every penny that our partners spend.
And the last value is commitment. Commitment not only to provide goods and services at the point of sale, but commitment to strengthen a long-term relationship over time.
And we found that when we follow those four values with our Indian partners, it helps to support, to strengthen -- strengthen that relationship.
So, Tony, back to your question again.
Q: The -- going from $15 billion to potentially $18 billion over the next year or two, what are some of those lingering sales that may bump it up $3 billion?
GEN. HOOPER: Well as -- as you know, Tony, we don't -- we don't talk about future sales or sales that have not been notified to Congress.
But I'm quite confident that the -- the platforms, the capabilities and the services that the United States has to offer India -- and as you know, India is a large importer of defense equipment and services -- are competitive with any systems in the world.
So whether it's the aerospace domain, land systems or maritime systems, all of our systems are extraordinarily competitive, and I'm sure. will suit India's needs now and into the future.
Q: One follow-up on the F-16 coproduction issue that's been lingering for a couple years, can you bring us up to speed on where that stands?
GEN. HOOPER: Well that's probably a question better -- better directed towards our Under Secretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, Ms. Lord. She has responsibility for those types of issues. And they could probably answer that question much better than I could.
Q: One other thing. Is there any -- are there any potential sales you're going to be discussing on this trip? Even though you can't tell us which ones. Will that -- is that part of the menu?
GEN. HOOPER: As a -- as a practice, Tony, as you know, we don't discuss future events and future operations. The boss just talked about that. We don't discuss what's going to happen in the future.
What I can say is, I expect some very fruitful discussions. And that all of our systems are the best in the world, and I'm sure are very competitive to suit and meet the requirements of our Indian partners.
Q: General, what specific system? Have you talked about the armed Guardian drones for India? Is that something that's come up in conversations?
Because if the COMCASA is signed, that would open the door for that potentially being sold.
GEN. HOOPER: We're discussing many, many systems that I think will suit the needs. State-of-the-art systems that we have and we can provide our Indian partners, that no one else can.
Q: Any specific one, though?
GEN. HOOPER: As I said, we're going to discuss many things. And I -- I wouldn't want to anticipate or pre-stage what might be a subject of attention. We'll discuss many things and many systems.
Q: OK. Can I also ask about the process of selling to India? Because their bureaucracy is legendary, and it does take sometimes decades.
Have you see that change over the past few months or years? In terms of the expectations, do you see that changing? Because at times, it's been quite a long struggle to sell weapons to India just because of the bureaucracy that they have.
GEN. HOOPER: Well, as I mentioned before, those -- those two first values that I mentioned, we found that transparency and responsiveness helps a great deal towards raising the level of awareness on both sides, exchanging information.
And we find that exchanging information and being responsive -- reciprocally responsive -- helps to speed up the process. Because we've discovered that if everybody has all the information that they need, and if we're responsive in providing that information, it helps to better inform their internal processes and our internal processes as well.
And that's merely one factor that can help to accelerate the process of working together.
Q: This question is not specifically to India, but it relates to India. Are you putting extra effort into developing alternatives for Russian legacy systems, given the CAATSA sanctions? Is there a new urgency to kind of come up with alternative packages for a lot of these allies that continue to purchase Russian legacy systems?
GEN. HOOPER: Well I will tell you that we have a full range of capabilities and systems that we think suits need -- suit the needs of our Indian partners and all of our partners.
Once again, by providing all of the information available, we hope to help them to make decisions that American systems would be, perhaps, the best systems that they'd be looking for.
All countries have the opportunity to make their own sovereign decisions, but I would tell you we place extraordinary effort in meeting the needs of all of our partners.
Q: Like any commander, any agency, your resources are constrained. Are you reallocating additional resources to developing alternatives to Russian legacy systems for a variety of countries?
GEN. HOOPER: Well as you know, the president in April approved a conventional arms transfer -- a change to our conventional arms transfer policy. We're in the process now of working to implement that.
And the main objective behind that is to make U.S. goods and services more readily available to all of our partners.
We're confident that when our partners take a look at the capabilities that we're offering as opposed to whatever capabilities they previously been committed to, that our capabilities will stand head and shoulders -- U.S. capabilities -- will stand head and shoulders above all of them and will become the selection of choice, and we will become their partner of choice.
So, I think the answer to your question is, as a part of our entire approach to conventional arms transfer -- which is where our focus is right now, in implementing our new policy, we are focused on making sure that U.S. systems are more competitive than any systems available, and are compelling enough, perhaps, to make some countries change their focus from their previous and legacy partner of choice to the United States.
Q: What, in your opinion, is some of the benefits of the (inaudible) agreement? If it, how does it affect your job?
GEN. HOOPER: Well, the secretary just -- just talked about that and answered that same question. What I will tell you is, as -- as we all know, in an information-based age of warfare, our center of gravity for systems is moving from kinetics and mechanics to technology.
These types of agreements allow us to secure that technology, and to put into place provisions that will protect the technology while simultaneously allowing us to share our state-of-the-art capabilities with our partners.
Q: I don't think you can answer this, but I thought I'd ask anyway. U.S. officials have talked about, you know, if – if India moves ahead with the purchase of the S-400, that would limit future cooperation and interoperability, things like that. Could you expound on that at all? I mean, what are, in general, what are some of the limitations?
GEN. HOOPER: Well, the secretary's already answered that question. We can't possibly speculate on what might or might not happen. I'll leave those deliberations to our State Department colleagues and others. Our focus and my focus continues to be to support the number two priority in our National Defense Strategy, which is strengthening our alliances and attracting new partners.
Q: On India, do you have a rapid acquisition cell set up to work with their request? We had heard that it was the only one -- the only country in -- in our alliances that your organization has a rapid acquisition cell to process requests.
GEN. HOOPER: We work comprehensively to improve the flash-to-bang time. That is the time between the identification of a requirement and a fulfillment of a capability to -- to a country. When you talk about priorities and -- and -- and allocating resources, we're focused on making our process writ large more efficient and effective, so that it meets all the needs of our partners, our major partners and all of our partners.
Q: For these --- sorry -- for these sales announced so far to India, since you've been in, can you tell us a little bit about what that appetite has shown India has to buy from the U.S., and you know, why you've been particularly pleased about these new sales?
GEN. HOOPER: Well I can talk about one sale that we're already very well aware of. As you know, India acquired the C-17 transport aircraft. India has one of the largest fleets of C-17s, second only to the United States.
The Indian Air Force seems very pleased with the capability that the C-17 provides, and if we use that as a data point of -- of how readily acceptable U.S. systems are for the Indian Air Force, I think it portends very well for a very positive trajectory as we move forward.
STAFF: We also have the Abraham missile. We -- we sold that a number of years ago.
GEN. HOOPER: Well, well a number -- there are a number of systems that we sold our Indian counterparts that they're very pleased with. And so as I said, I see that -- that satisfaction with America as a partner of choice portending well for a continued strengthening of the relationship.
Q: Does it allow the Indian aircraft such as the C-17's, C-130Js to better interface with American aircraft, because now it will have encrypted technology?
GEN. HOOPER: Well not to talk about one particular platform, but as the secretary said,these types of agreements will allow communication between our systems and their systems internally within the Indian Air Force. It will allow a level of communication that will allow us to be both interoperable, allow them to fight better as a joint force and allow them to work better with us as an interoperable force.
Q: And if I could ask, I'm not an acquisitions guy, but it seems that the Syrian civil war has been an advertising campaign for Russian hardware. And their message seems to be "Don't go with American technology, it's expensive, it's fragile, the maintenance costs will kill you.
Russian technology is good enough, buy some Kalibr cruise missiles." How do you counter that message in the developing world, in -- in countries that are buying military hardware like Algeria, India and -- and elsewhere?
GEN. HOOPER: I'll go back to those four values that I articulated earlier in my statement that separate us from our counterparts. First of all, the transparency piece, the fact that all of the information that you need to know about the U.S. foreign military sales system is online.
You can go to dsca.mil right now and find out anything you want to know about our system. Number two is the responsiveness, OK? We're going to be there not only to service the equipment, but we're going to be there past the point of sale in a communication to build a relationship.
Because fundamentally the systems that we're providing, while the best in the world, are the basis for a relationship, an alliance, a partnership in this particular case. The third is integrity. Our system is deliberate and it's incorruptible, OK?
And when you're trying to justify to your civilian leadership, your legislators, your peoples these expenditures are funds, the ability to open the books and account for every penny becomes important. I think that's a distinction between us and others.
Finally is commitment. We're going to be with you past the point of sale because we're not interested in merely selling things, and I -- I would bring your attention to the fact that that number two priority in the NDS is not "sell stuff."
That number two priority is -- is strengthen alliances and attract new partners, and that's what we're in the business of doing. So those four values separate us from all of our other potential competitors and I think make us the -- will make us and do make us the partner of choice for security cooperation worldwide, OK?
Q: Can I ask you about the F-35 and potential new partnerships around the F-35 beyond the -- beyond the legacy partners and then the Israel, Japan, Korea? What -- was it -- as you look over the waterfront, many horizons, what is the F-35's future in terms of gaining attention from new partners that haven't been previously interested?
GEN. HOOPER: Well certainly the F-35 represents and is an example of our state of the art capability. I would tell you that it's always difficult to speak to the future, and I don't want to speak to the future and speculate.
But certainly there's an understanding that this is the state of our -- state of the art capability, and we'll just have to see how deliberations go with respect to its availability worldwide.
Q: But specifically, are you getting price and availability requests from members -- from other nations who hadn't previously been interested.
GEN. HOOPER: Once again, there are a lot of people -- there are a lot of nations that show interest in all of our state of the art capabilities.
Q: Fair enough.
Q: Obviously there's a lot of attention on Turkey and the F-35 program and S400. The Secretary's been tasked by Congress with kind of doing an assessment of the U.S. relationship with Turkey and looking at this and other issues.
Are you playing a role in that assessment? Are you kind of providing information is -- about the relationship with Turkey and the effects it could have on the F-35 program if they're -- if they're rejected from it?
GEN. HOOPER: Once again I could not possibly amplify what the secretary's already said about our relationship with Turkey. Turkey is a NATO ally, they've been a consortium partner in the F-35 and I'll leave it to others to determine how the course of our relationship will go.
As the secretary said, we'll just have to see how that goes.
STAFF: We've got one more question.
Q: So the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has their interest in the THAAD batteries. I'm wondering, can you give us an update as to where that is and have they signed any paperwork to accept the batteries or where is that at?
GEN. HOOPER: That's a very good question. We continue to work every day with our Saudi colleagues to help them to work towards finalizing this issue. Our Saudi colleagues are -- are -- are very good to work with.
We're working through them, this is a very large case, very important for the United States and Saudi Arabia and I'm very optimistic that we're going to move forward very positively to make sure that we can provide them with this very important capability.
Q: Can you elaborate on the costs and the breadth of what they're interested in for that?
GEN. HOOPER: I'll tell you what, I don't have those figures right in my head and I don't want to speak incorrectly ...
STAFF: (Inaudible)
GEN. HOOPER: ... yeah, and so I'll be more than happy to provide that to Ms. White and get you an answer on that.
Q: Can I ask you one other -- there's a (inaudible) question on Congress and the waivers that your agency has given over the years to some of the richest and national -- Middle East countries. You know the issue. GAO came out with a report, billions of dollars of discounts basically to Saudi Arabia and others.
And there's legislation now that even -- bipartisan legislation to tighten the process. Can you give us a sense of what you're doing to review your process for granting waivers to reimbursing the United States Treasury for sunk R&D that the customers should be give -- paying for?
GEN. HOOPER: A couple of things. What Tony's referring to is something we call non-recurring costs, and these are -- what non-recurring costs are, there's two categories. This is money that was invested in order to prepare for the production of a weapons system or money that was invested in order to prepare for the production of a weapons system, or money that was invested in the research and development.
There are three conditions under which we can refund a portion of that money. The first one is if the economies of scale are advantageous to the United States. So let me give you an example.
A few months back in -- in the fall, there was an issue where we were negotiating with several countries, several of our partners, about the refurbishment of M-1 Abrams tanks. Included in this was the refurbishment of U.S. M-1 A-1 tanks. And so in order to provide an incentive for those countries to agree in a timely fashion, which lowered the cost of refurbishment of our own U.S. Army tanks, we were able to provide an incentive that was able to close the deal, which lowered the cost of refurbishment for our tanks. So that's the first one.
The second exception is in the interest of NATO or major -- of non-NATO ally or partner interoperability, OK? So the fundamental basis of our strengthening alliances and partnerships is, we believe, is having U.S. equipment at the core of that. Why? Because U.S. equipment serves as the basis for a common view of the world and an opportunity to break bread together, to educate our officers together, in addition to using the best equipment in the world. So if we can offer an incentive to make U.S. equipment the strong foundation for our alliances and partnerships in a very competitive world, then certainly, we should take advantage of every opportunity we have.
The third issue where we can provide these waiver is -- is in the potential loss of a sale. Ladies and gentlemen, we're in a very, very competitive market here, and while we provide a total-package approach -- we talked about commitment, the transparency, the integrity -- there are partners for whom price point is very important. So the extent to which we can provide some type of incentive to ensure that we grasp a sale, OK, that's -- might have gone to somebody else, we will do that. Now, why are these sales important? The administration has clearly stated, and I think you would all agree that strengthening our defense industrial base is important. Economic security is security.
So if we can secure a sale, create those jobs back home and get another close partner, an alliance partner by providing this incentive, then perhaps we should do so. The process is -- is very thorough. It's not only the Department of Defense or DSCA. The State Department, as well). And as you know about that GAO study, Tony, the only -- one of the only recommendations they made, they said that we were fully within the law. One of the only recommendations they made is that we find ways to streamline the process. So we review them very carefully, each and every one very carefully.
But anything that provides us with an edge and allows us to achieve our goals in a very competitive market is something that we think is worthy of pursuing, and worthy of studying. OK?
Thank you all.

From Abigail Smith Adams to John Quincy Adams, 29 January 1801
Washington Jan'ry 29 1801
My dear Son
Your Brother Thomas has performed the painfull office of announcing to you the death of your Brother Charles. with what a weight of sorrow is my bosom opprest, when I reflect, that he was cutt down in the bloom of Life, in the midst of his days. he is numberd with the dead; it becomes me in Silence to mourn; mourn over him living, I have for a long time, and now he is gone.—the tender remembrance of what he once was rises before me, and I wish to forget. I wish to draw a veil over all those propencities, which have rung my Heart, with unutterable pang's. I would hope, that from that Throne of Sovereign Mercy, where I have often besought it for him, he may have obtaind forgiveness—think of him my Son with the compassion of a Brother, and if you are permitted to return to your native Country, be a Father to the little Girl who bears my Name—the other I have taken, and if my Life is Spared, I mean to bring her up,—the Mother has no means of Support but that which She derives from her Friend's She is amiable and worthy; I can lay no blame to her Charge. She attended with constant and unwearied Solisititude, to the last Scene, his Sickness was short; his constitution was undermined; his Sufferings were Severe, his patience under them was great, a dropsey in his Chest was the cause of his Dissolution; I knew not that he was Sick: indeed he had not been more than a week confined, when I arrived in November at Newyork, on my way to this City, I went to see him but you may judge of my feelings, when I Saw that his case was desperate, tho he entertaind no Idea himself that it was so, but he Survived only a fortnight. he was at Lodgings. your sister Smith who had Spent the Summer with me, returnd to Nyork when I did. She removed him immediatly, and every kind care and Sisterly attention was Shewn him, both from the Col. & herself. the removal of him, was all the releaf, all the consolation I could derive; I came to this city with a heavey Heart; in daily expectation of his death, which took place on the first of december; my Residence in this City, has not Served to endear the World to me, to private and domestick Sorrow, is added a prospect of publick Calamity for our Country. the Spirit of party has overpowerd the Spirit of Patriotism. the Intrigue of one Man, and the dissapointed ambition of an other has divided the Strength of the Country, and thrown into the antifediral Scale the weight of Numbers; this Change has been produced by the practise of all those low arts of calumny, and falshood, which are the weapons of unprincipled Men, and the power of faction, the corrupt and infatuated members of it, have acted without any regard to right, or wrong, and the question with them has been who shall govern, not how they shall be governed; If as is expected a total Change of Men, and measures follow, universal confusion will be the concequence. The Election is not yet determined, for two candidates being equal, the House of Representitives must decide; if they stear from Scylla, they must wrecked upon Charibdis—what is before us Heaven only know's time only can unfold—that ingratitude was considerd by the Athenians as a Sin; we are told could Athens produce stronger instances, than are to be found in our Country? you can trace the train of my thoughts, when you consider the wise and judicious administration of our Government for the last 12 years—when you view it rising in power at home, and respectability abroad, acquiring wealth, and oppulence daily; who but must lament, that this fair prospect is vanishing like the baseless fabrick of a vision—it would require a vol'm instead of a single Letter; to unfold to you, all the Machinations which have combined to produce this Change in the Administration; honest Men have been cheated, and duped, ambitious Men have Seen themselves, and their plots discoverd, and counteracted by a watchfullness which they could not elude; and were therefore determined to get rid off, at any hazard; If you received a Letter I wrote you, just before I left Quincy it will Serve you, in Some measure as a clue to the objects of a certain Party call'd the Essex Junto, but a pamphlet written by Hamilton concerning the public conduct & Character of John Adams President of the united States, and which I presume has been sent you, will more fully display the falshood and malignity of the Anglo Federalist. from this pamphlet however the Author has not acquired more fame, or reputation than he did from the precious confession of an other; to Burr is the merrit due, with the antifederal party for turning the Election of Nyork in their favour. to Burr then will that party owe their President, provided mr Jefferson is chosen—and this was a bargain and Sale buisness!! Is it not sufficent to give every considerate, and reflecting person a surfeit of Elective Governments, when in this young Country and thus early such proffs appear of corruption and want of principle?—
I turn from this disgusting object to one nearer my Heart. I mean the return of my dear Son to his family and Friends my last letter was full upon this Subject; tho it will be urksome to you to return with Such prospects opening before you; I presume you will not feel as tho you could remain abroad;
I expect to take a final leave of this City next week, and return to Quincy; could I be assured that the remainder of my days might be passed in Peace and quietness, I should have reason to rejoice in a liberation from public Life; The President retains his Health, and his Spirits beyond what you could imagine; he has the conscienciouss of having served his Country with pure intentions; with upright views and from the most disinterested motives, as his own pecuniary affairs manifest. tho free from debts, or embarassments of that nature; his income will oblige us to a strickt oeconomy, in order to preserve that independance upon which Our future tranquility rests. I repine not, at any of the allotments, or dispensations of providence; we have been a scatterd family if some of my Children could now be collected round the parent Hive it appears to me, that it would add much to the happiness of our declining Years; Thomas has determined to remain in Pennsilvana he is the joy of our Hearts. his conduct in all respects, is prudent and judicious I think it not unlike that the State he has chosen for his residence may become under the new administration Such a hot bed of turbulence and Sedition as to induce him to change his Quarters; Some recent Changes have taken place in the public offices. mr Wolcot has resignd, and mr dexter is appointed in his place; Mr Marshall is appointed Chief Justice of the united States in the Room of mr Elsworth, resignd. mr Griswold is this day nominated in the place of mr Dexter; Secritary of War. no Secretary of State is yet nominated and I cannot say that any will be; it is difficult to get Such Gentlemen as are esteemed proper, to accept offices from which they may be removed in the course of a few weeks—Yet in the present critical State of the Country when it is undetermined, and altogether uncertain which of the candidates will be our future President, or whether there will be any Election at all, the President has thought it best to fill up the offices with Such men as are fit, and capable of discharging the duties of them in any Event; if they are to be removed; let the world See how they will again be filled.
I have not any Letter from you of a later date than July 11th, I have seen Letters from Louisa to her Father in August and to the 5 of Sep'tr. Your Brother has Letters of as late a date from you which have been a source of much entertainment to me; I have very little cause to accuse you of not writing to me. I have myself been very deficient. tell Louisa that her Family are all well Situated about one mile from the Presidents house, but Such a quagmire between, that our intercourse is much impeeded. Caroline has had a long fit of Sickness, a Nervious fever from which she has so far recoverd as to have Spent one Say with me. I expect the Family all to dine with me on Saturday for the last time. Col. Smith is now in an office which affords him and his Family a handsome Support. my mind is easier upon their account. mr W. Cranch will do very well here. he is appointed one of the city Commissoners—my paper obliges me to conclude. Your truly affectionate &c &c.
MHi: Adams Papers.

Dude -- I would love if someone offered me $500 to NOT do something. I would actually consider paying $500 just to NOT do something

That means little - my boy has elaborate stories that go along with all of his Thomas trains and they often kiss each other.

text: Houston Criminal Defense Blog 2010 April Criminal Defense Attorney Needs to Adivse About Immigration Consequences Previous Post | Next Post Criminal Defense Attorney Needs to Adivse About Immigration Consequences Posted By Herman Martinez || 7-Apr-2010 Recently, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion,Padilla v. Kentucky, where it stated that the Sixth Amendment requires defense counsel to provide affirmative, competent advice to a noncitizen defendant regarding the immigration consequences of a guilty plea. Thus, any criminal defense attorney must imform their client of the pitfalls regarding a guilty plea and how it relates to immigration. We always inform any noncitizen of the possibility of deportation and even encourage the client to speak to an immigration attorney before accepting a plea bargain. The Padilla court went further to state that the plea bargain forms that are part of a defendant's court file, reviewed by the client and their attorney, and discussed before taking a plea may not be sufficient. to satisy a lawyer's duty. This decision clearly makes the criminal attorney's need to inform the client about their immigration consequences before taking a plea. Categories: Consequences, Criminal Defense Share Post

Of all the strange paparazzi pals who keep popping up in headlines together -- like Paris and Britney, linked for no good reason at all -- the strangest seem to be O.J. Simpson and the New York Knicks.
The bond was forged on that June night in 1994 when, in the middle of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, NBC went picture-in-picture showing the infamous Bronco chase alongside the Knicks and the Houston Rockets. Simpson even became a part of Pat Riley's postgame news conference when a fan with a beer-filled cup in his hand asked the Knicks coach, "If O.J. cuts left instead of right, do you think he makes it?"
Now, 13 years later, they're together again, taking turns on the New York tabloid covers, the Knicks in the midst of a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former vice president Anucha Browne Sanders while Simpson is accused of an attempted armed robbery in Las Vegas. But this time they aren't linked only by timing. The Knicks are in a bind specifically because of Simpson, and the segment of our society he created: Court Culture.
We didn't care nearly as much about jurisprudence before O.J. went to trial in 1995. There was nothing glamorous about the court system. Then the greatest show of the decade started. It didn't require a big-name director. No large production budget or marketing campaign. All it took was one single camera in a courtroom in downtown Los Angeles to make stars out of the late Johnnie Cochran (not to mention Phil Morris, the actor who played the Cochranesque Jackie Chiles on "Seinfeld"), Marcia Clark, Chris Darden, Lance Ito, Kato Kaelin and Faye Resnick.
It was a media career-maker, too. You see the aftereffects of the trial every time you see Roger Cossack, Greta Van Susteren or Jeffrey Toobin on TV.
That's the irony of Simpson's getting arrested because he's angry about people profiting off his "[stuff]." All he's doing is driving up ratings and creating more money for the real O.J. industry. He would have been better off taking his makeshift commando team to the cable TV networks instead of going after a bunch of sports memorabilia that, as Mark Kreidler wrote, won't sell anyway.
All the old names started popping up on television again. Detectives Mark Fuhrman and Tom Lange. Clark, looking very Hillary Clintonesque with her now-blond hair. And, of course, the inescapable Kato. Nothing else gets the cameras moving and the talking heads talking like O.J. Never mind that the deadlocked jury in the Phil Spector murder trial and the mockery of Jim Crow justice in the Jena 6 case are far more important stories. This is O.J. the job-creator.
But there's another legacy of the Court Culture that could come back on the Knicks. It's the importance of words. It wasn't just the tight gloves that turned around the Simpson criminal case. It was one word that Fuhrman denied ever came from his lips, a nasty epithet that another witness later testified that he did say. The n-word.
Fuhrman got caught in a lie, and the prosecution never recovered.
For all of the outrage over the verdict, it's pretty easy to see how the jury reached its conclusion: no murder weapon, no eyewitness (except for, possibly, an Akita dog), all sorts of procedural mistakes from a crime lab team that came off like Chief Wiggum and his staff, and the prosecution's main witness perjured himself on the stand. When the lead prosecutor herself called Fuhrman an example of the worst the LAPD had to offer, where did that leave her case?
(For the record I think both verdicts were right. Given the way O.J.'s defense team ran circles around the prosecution, the jury almost had no choice. In the civil case, with a lower burden of proof and the judge keeping most of the anti-LAPD evidence out of the courtroom, it's not surprising Simpson lost.)
In the Knicks' case, the b-word has emerged as the central point. Browne Sanders said Isiah Thomas repeatedly referred to her as a "bitch." She said Knicks guard Stephon Marbury called her a "black bitch." (Marbury said he might have called her a bitch, but not a black bitch. Thanks for the clarification, Steph.) Thomas said he didn't direct that word at her.
Then there was the cavalier response of Madison Square Garden boss James Dolan when asked if it was appropriate to call work colleagues a bitch.
"No, it's not appropriate," Dolan said in a taped deposition. "It's also not appropriate to murder anyone. I don't know if that's happened either."
Ultimately the jury will have to determine whether Browne Sanders was the victim of a sexist work environment or if she is concocting claims to counter a just firing based on her work performance. But a central part of this he-said, she-said case will be whose side they take on the "bitch" issue. One person isn't telling the truth. One word probably will tip the balance of credibility.
We've been through this before. Sadly, it didn't even take too long for this trial to even acquire its own standard sentence -- you know, that succinct summary that can easily be cut and pasted into the story. For the past decade, just about every story about Simpson contained some version of this sentence: Simpson was acquitted of the murders in a criminal trial, but was later found liable for their deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5 million to their families.
The phrase that keeps popping up in the Associated Press reports of the Sanders/Thomas trial reads: "The lawsuit has portrayed Madison Square Garden as more dysfunctional frat house than hallowed arena."
The damage is done to Thomas and the Knicks, regardless of the verdict. Just like O.J. never truly remained free even though a jury let him go home. He couldn't be O.J. Simpson anymore, no more movies, no more country club membership, no more cushy life in Brentwood.
Thomas has come off as a man of double racial standards, both in Sanders' testimony that he said "I don't give a f--- about these white [season-ticket holders]" and his own volunteered view that he thinks a white man calling a black woman a bitch is far more offensive than a black man doing the same. Dolan came off as smug and disdainful. As a lurid byproduct of the trial, we learned a star player allegedly had sex with a team intern in a truck and it's no big deal in the Garden.
The Knicks are getting their turn in court, with the defense's case under way, starting with a Garden executive who testified that Sanders was overwhelmed by her job and never complained about Thomas until Dec. 15, 2005, only a month before she was fired. A good day for them. Then again, they won the game on June 17, 1994, and that's not what people remember about that night.
Wednesday afternoon, as helicopters showed O.J. on the move again -- this time in a silver sedan -- the Knicks looked like the ones unable to escape.

One-dish meal recipes are a popular short cut in the kitchen, and you can enjoy the same convenience on the grill. Using foil packets, you can cook everything at once and have an instant meal. These meal recipes are a great way to make a quick meal without heating up the kitchen.
1. Mix everything except the vegetables in large bowl. Stir until well incorporated.
2. Make four hamburger patties.
3. Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
4. Arrange a quarter of the sliced potatoes on the foil. Top with a hamburger patty and then one quarter of the remaining vegetables.
5. Fold the foil over and seal each packet. Leave a little room for the contents to expand while it's cooking.
6. Grill over medium heat for 25 minutes. Turn a couple of times.
This is a slightly more exotic one-dish meal. It's just as easy to prepare, cook, and clean up, however! Put rice in the rice cooker and your meal will be ready in minutes.
1. Combine the mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a covered glass dish.
2. Add the fish and allow to marinate for twenty minutes.
3. Fry the spinach with the peanut oil and garlic until it is wilted.
4. Tear off four squares of aluminum foil. Place spinach in the center of each, then top with a fish fillet. Pour a little of the marinade mixture over each fillet, then seal.
5. Grill over medium heat for about fifteen minutes.
1. Tear off four large square of aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Place a piece of chicken on each foil square, and top each with one quarter of the vegetables and pesto.
3. Seal the packets, allowing some room for the contents to expand during cooking.
4. Grill over medium heat for 25 minutes. The chicken should be thoroughly cooked in the center.
Foil packet meals are the quickest way to get meat and vegetables to the table in minutes. The best part is these meals are so easy to clean up! Just bundle up foil and toss it, then sit down to enjoy your meal.
