Speaking this morning at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta, President Obama said, "...Yesterday, President Yudhoyono and I announced a new Comprehensive Partnership between the United States and Indonesia. We are increasing ties between our governments in many different areas, and -- just as importantly -- we are increasing ties among our people. This is a partnership of equals, grounded in mutual interests and mutual respect.
"So with the rest of my time today, I'd like to talk about why the story I just told -- the story of Indonesia since the days when I lived here -- is so important to the United States and to the world. I will focus on three areas that are closely related, and fundamental to human progress -- development, democracy and religious faith.
"First, the friendship between the United States and Indonesia can advance our mutual interest in development.
"...America has a stake in Indonesia growing and developing, with prosperity that is broadly shared among the Indonesian people -- because a rising middle class here in Indonesia means new markets for our goods, just as America is a market for goods coming from Indonesia. So we are investing more in Indonesia, and our exports have grown by nearly 50 percent, and we are opening doors for Americans and Indonesians to do business with one another.
"America has a stake in an Indonesia that plays its rightful role in shaping the global economy. Gone are the days when seven or eight countries would come together to determine the direction of global markets. That's why the G20 is now the center of international economic cooperation, so that emerging economies like Indonesia have a greater voice and also bear greater responsibility for guiding the global economy. And through its leadership of the G20's anti-corruption group, Indonesia should lead on the world stage and by example in embracing transparency and accountability.
"...Above all, America has a stake in the success of the Indonesian people. Underneath the headlines of the day, we must build bridges between our people, because our future security and prosperity is shared. And that is exactly what we're doing -- by increasing collaboration among our scientists and researchers, and by working together to foster entrepreneurship. And I'm especially pleased that we have committed to double the number of American and Indonesian students studying in our respective countries. We want more Indonesian students in American schools, and we want more American students to come study in this country. We want to forge new ties and greater understanding between young people in this young century.
"...Now, this kind of development is inseparable from the role of democracy.
"Today, we sometimes hear that democracy stands in the way of economic progress. This is not a new argument. Particularly in times of change and economic uncertainty, some will say that it is easier to take a shortcut to development by trading away the right of human beings for the power of the state. But that's not what I saw on my trip to India, and that is not what I see here in Indonesia. Your achievements demonstrate that democracy and development reinforce one another.
"...These are the forces that will propel Indonesia forward. And it will require a refusal to tolerate the corruption that stands in the way of opportunity; a commitment to transparency that gives every Indonesian a stake in their government; and a belief that the freedom of Indonesians -- that Indonesians have fought for is what holds this great nation together.
"That is the message of the Indonesians who have advanced this democratic story -- from those who fought in the Battle of Surabaya 55 years ago today; to the students who marched peacefully for democracy in the 1990s; to leaders who have embraced the peaceful transition of power in this young century. Because ultimately, it will be the rights of citizens that will stitch together this remarkable Nusantara that stretches from Sabang to Merauke, an insistence that every child born in this country should be treated equally, whether they come from Java or Aceh; from Bali or Papua. That all Indonesians have equal rights.
"That effort extends to the example that Indonesia is now setting abroad. Indonesia took the initiative to establish the Bali Democracy Forum, an open forum for countries to share their experiences and best practices in fostering democracy. Indonesia has also been at the forefront of pushing for more attention to human rights within ASEAN. The nations of Southeast Asia must have the right to determine their own destiny, and the United States will strongly support that right. But the people of Southeast Asia must have the right to determine their own destiny as well. And that's why we condemned elections in Burma recently that were neither free nor fair. That is why we are supporting your vibrant civil society in working with counterparts across this region. Because there's no reason why respect for human rights should stop at the border of any country.
"Hand in hand, that is what development and democracy are about -- the notion that certain values are universal. Prosperity without freedom is just another form of poverty. Because there are aspirations that human beings share -- the liberty of knowing that your leader is accountable to you, and that you won't be locked up for disagreeing with them; the opportunity to get an education and to be able to work with dignity; the freedom to practice your faith without fear or restriction. Those are universal values that must be observed everywhere.
"Now, religion is the final topic that I want to address today, and -- like democracy and development -- it is fundamental to the Indonesian story.
"Like the other Asian nations that I'm visiting on this trip, Indonesia is steeped in spirituality -- a place where people worship God in many different ways. Along with this rich diversity, it is also home to the world's largest Muslim population -- a truth I came to know as a boy when I heard the call to prayer across Jakarta.
"Just as individuals are not defined solely by their faith, Indonesia is defined by more than its Muslim population. But we also know that relations between the United States and Muslim communities have frayed over many years. As President, I have made it a priority to begin to repair these relations. As part of that effort, I went to Cairo last June, and I called for a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world -- one that creates a path for us to move beyond our differences.
"I said then, and I will repeat now, that no single speech can eradicate years of mistrust. But I believed then, and I believe today, that we do have a choice. We can choose to be defined by our differences, and give in to a future of suspicion and mistrust. Or we can choose to do the hard work of forging common ground, and commit ourselves to the steady pursuit of progress. And I can promise you -- no matter what setbacks may come, the United States is committed to human progress. That is who we are. That is what we've done. And that is what we will do.
"Now, we know well the issues that have caused tensions for many years -- and these are issues that I addressed in Cairo. In the 17 months that have passed since that speech, we have made some progress, but we have much more work to do.
"Innocent civilians in America, in Indonesia and across the world are still targeted by violent extremism. I made clear that America is not, and never will be, at war with Islam. Instead, all of us must work together to defeat al Qaeda and its affiliates, who have no claim to be leaders of any religion -- certainly not a great, world religion like Islam. But those who want to build must not cede ground to terrorists who seek to destroy. And this is not a task for America alone. Indeed, here in Indonesia, you've made progress in rooting out extremists and combating such violence.
"Before I came here, I visited Istiqlal mosque -- a place of worship that was still under construction when I lived in Jakarta. And I admired its soaring minaret and its imposing dome and welcoming space. But its name and history also speak to what makes Indonesia great. Istiqlal means independence, and its construction was in part a testament to the nation's struggle for freedom. Moreover, this house of worship for many thousands of Muslims was designed by a Christian architect.
"Such is Indonesia's spirit. Such is the message of Indonesia's inclusive philosophy, Pancasila. Across an archipelago that contains some of God's most beautiful creations, islands rising above an ocean named for peace, people choose to worship God as they please. Islam flourishes, but so do other faiths. Development is strengthened by an emerging democracy. Ancient traditions endure, even as a rising power is on the move.
"That is not to say that Indonesia is without imperfections. No country is. But here we can find the ability to bridge divides of race and region and religion -- by the ability to see yourself in other people. As a child of a different race who came here from a distant country, I found this spirit in the greeting that I received upon moving here: Selamat Datang. As a Christian visiting a mosque on this visit, I found it in the words of a leader who was asked about my visit and said, 'Muslims are also allowed in churches. We are all God's followers.'
"That spark of the divine lives within each of us. We cannot give in to doubt or cynicism or despair. The stories of Indonesia and America should make us optimistic, because it tells us that history is on the side of human progress; that unity is more powerful than division; and that the people of this world can live together in peace. May our two nations, working together, with faith and determination, share these truths with all mankind."

Beautiful remarks by President Obama.
I do believe it is important for the U.S. to work together with ASEAN considering the emergence of China and India as the powerful neighbors of S.E.A. Nations. A lot of the history & culture of S.E.A is shaped by China and India, thus this comes as an important moment for U.S. to rebuild the bond with the ASEAN bloc and create a sort of power stability in this region.

A Postulate of Friendliness: AS220 at last
November 30, 2011 · Print This Article
I never interviewed Founding Director Bert Crenca directly about AS220, so what follows is my recollection of a conversation we had, along with a description of the organization's structure. This is the final segment of what has been weekly series of interviews and essays about artist run spaces in Providence, each of which I've posted here on BadatSports. My particular interest in Providence — the purpose of my residency — was to study via conversation the relationship between the city's politics, it's social/historical geography and the respondent culture of artist community and action. You can access my collection of writing on the subject by going here.Â
I visited AS220 for the month of July as an artist-in-residence. During my stay, I lived on the third floor of the Empire Street building (above), the first in a series of three buildings that AS220 owns. With each building positioned less than a five minute walk away from one another, AS220 takes up 100,000 square feet of downtown Providence real estate. Every space represents a project of historic restoration and, with its mixed use status, contains 3 restaurants, 3 bars, a locksmith, a photo lab, a robot lab, a print shop, a youth program (with every opportunity you could imagine from a separate dark room to a recording studio), 4 galleries, a performance space and live/work studios for artists. The operation is massive. It sustains an operating budget of 2.6 million dollars a year, with a staff of 50 employees. To begin to conceive how a non-profit arts organization can maintain such a privileged place in a downtown commercial hub is to begin to understand how AS220 has influenced not just the cultural climate of Providence but also the city's vision of itself as an artistic center.
AS220 is not simply an art space. It espouses a philosophical agenda as well. Every member of the administrative staff earns the same salary and health insurance; the minute you are hired for an administrative position, you get the same income as Founding Director, Bert Crenca, who's been at the helm of this ship for the last 25 years. If you live in one of the artist residency studios, you are expected to volunteer up to 5 hours of your time every week. Volunteering offsets your rent while ensuring everyone share in the responsibility of the space. AS220 is also doggedly unjuried and uncensored. It is a platform for work to be exhibited, not a space with a pre-determined aesthetic vision. Anyone can show here. If you are from Rhode Island you sign your name on a list and so long as you are willing to wait (at this stage the wait is three years long), you get to share your work with a public. The mixed-use aspect of the organization's structure is also part of its larger agenda: Crenca wanted to create an art space in a city that, 25 years ago, had more or less given up on itself.
AS220's origin story is contextualized by what was then a particularly bleak post-industrial setting. It has made a point to champion ART — both as a vehicle for individual expression and as a means to develop a visible local community (via the shared experience of artistic production) — in order to transform its depressed surroundings into a viable social opportunity for youths and old folks and everyone in between. To accomplish that goal, it was in everyone's best interest to create a space that facilitated community and discourse, not criticality. It had to promote an open place of nourishment, one that did not base its success on the whims of commercial art markets belonging to less intimate cities far afield. In other words, the focus had to be on a local level if it was ever going to improve local conditions. Of course the culture has a number of success stories: Shephard Fairy, for instance, and the constituents of Fort Thunder represent members of the Providence community who have had a tremendous impact on a national contemporary art dialogue. Yet also, there is a very concentrated local aesthetic, an often messy, sometimes Bacchic and excitedly peculiar scene. From my glancing view this seemed to manifest in costume parties, printed matter, a vested interest in education on all levels and the deep pleasure in idiosyncratic DIY culture, wherein high and low art (if those distinctions still exist) mix around in a big, impossible-to-parse soup of personality.
One evening in July, I happened to sit at the same table as Bert Crenca outside the AS220 restaurant. He told me he'd had to defend his non-juried agenda over and over again to board members. "They want to know how we ensure quality,†he said. He grinned, obviously confident in his forthcoming punchline. "I told them 'We don't know. Nobody knows. But at least we ensure the possibility of quality.'†It is that confidence which is so contagious. He is a warm man and I had the distinct impression that he was used to talking to a wide of range of people. He is totally game for any kind of discourse. He can swear like a sailor, indulging dirty jokes as though to see where they land, and seeks out the different interests or capacities, whether philosophical, practical or biographical, in a conversation. Almost every night he was out, I saw him talk to different people at the space, people eating food or drinking or hanging out. Regardless the subject he was always engaged. No doubt it takes that kind of person to build a project from the ground up: someone affable, flexible and sure with conviction.
Just as he is proud of his artistic practice, Crenca is proud of his working class roots. Somehow the marriage of those personal interests have lead to his path as an arts administrator. The project began in 1985 when Crenca received a terrible review about his own work. As is the case with many DIY spaces, he responded through a positive action. He turned around and wrote a manifesto with peers Martha Dempster and Steven Emma. "We realize that no artist can survive and grow without the support of both his peers and the public regardless of the artist's unyielding belief in himself,†they said. "We challenge the pervasive notion that complete, unbridled, uncensored freedom produces mediocrity and that excellence rises out of repression. It does not!,†and then finally, "Art has been removed from being an integral part of our society and has been relegated to mere processes which had lead to the production of dry, academic, pedantic, superficial, mechanical, and mass produced works of art devoid of all integrity, honesty, and meaning and has stripped art of its physical, psychological, moral, and spiritual impact necessary for the thriving and indeed the very survival of human culture. Art must be allowed to flourish unhampered because art is one of the last areas of culture where man defines his spiritual nature.â€
There is much more to the manifesto, but the vigor and vim underlying its message is clear — something still palpable in the various constituents of AS200 today. As an example, I remember meeting two floor mates for the first time in the kitchen. I think I was nervous and feeling like the new kid, I tried to make a joke with more swagger than I possessed at the time. "Oh!" I said, instead of introducing myself. "So this is where the cool kids hangout.†Both joking and earnest, one of them replied, "There isn't anyone of us who is cool here, everyone is just good.†In other words, open acceptance is in the water. And, indeed, everyone living at the space is creative. Many of them teach classes at the youth program one floor below. It's a utopic vision: here you can still be a painter. You can inhabit a structured bohemia, one still complimentary to capitalism. It is sustainable. It is user-friendly. I realized upon arrival that had I moved here after college, I would have embarked on an entirely different artistic experience. (Isn't it amazing when you discover the possibility of a parallel life?) Instead I moved to Chicago and had to answer questions about my own artistic approach: Why was I painting from photographs? What about my figure painting was different from or contributing to the canon of figure painting? And, even further: Why was I painting at all? Wasn't painting dead? How did my own practice recover Painting's Drowned and Beautiful Body from the river and bathe its corpse uniquely? (I'm thinking of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's story, The Handsomest Drowned Man In The World). Keep in mind, I feel especially grateful for the path I've come down thus far. I wouldn't trade it for the world, but gazing into the ecoculture of Providence, I stumbled upon the important realization that my artistic path thus far was not the only path. (It sounds obvious to say, but here : think about your own aesthetic positions and judgements, imagine conceiving another, auxiliary framework through which to engage with the world. Imagine, then, its ensuring consequence, some things difficult in the old regime will occur more easily, just as other things once simple encounter difficulty). Occupying the possibility of these two realities at once is like being a polyglot, to discover the shortcomings in one language while simultaneously appreciating its tremendously varied and peculiar (by contrast) vocabulary that opens up new worlds. For instance, I've heard the Inuit language has a huge index of nouns fitted to depict thousands upon thousands of kinds of snow.
From its original manifesto, AS220 was born with an $800 check that paid the first months rent of a shared loft apartment. 2nd floor space above the Rocket, a local nightclub on Richmond Street. AS220 eventually took over the third (top) floor, which became studio space). Originally it was an illegal, unheated, living space but because the city needed something and because Bert  possesses a convincing charisma, he was able to solicit the ever infamous mayor "Buddy" Cianci's help. "Cianci understood the potential of art and entertainment so he was open to suggestions.†Which is how Crenca secured AS220's first space on Empire Street — a 22,000 sq foot property which, at the time was in great disrepair, surrounded by prostitution and drugs to such an extent that most locals avoided Empire Street altogether. Via whole sweat equity, constant fundraising and a countless number of events, AS220 provided a visible, above ground activity. Interestingly enough, a number of the original businesses that leased the space before AS220 bought the building remain. Crenca took them on as tenants and, in some cases, even helped rehab the business so that original tenants (for instance a locksmith, a barber shop and a gay bar) could move back in and carry on with updated working conditions.
It's important to remember that projects like this aren't simply acts of social service, selflessness or charity. They are necessarily self-serving and there is a way in which each member of the AS220 crew is committed to the project because of how it fulfills (and I'm sure sometimes frustrates) their own ideals. Crenca will say he had to "create a place for his own survival,†it just happens that identifying that need applied to a population larger than himself; his survival is contingent on the community he inhabits. As part of that testament, a handful of AS220 members put together a AS220StinkTank_Compost, How to Keep the Arts from Dying of Old Age in 2004, "You can grow things in a petri dish," they write, "but they need special care, and may not survive on their own. If you want to find something healthy, lively and strong, don't build a lab to grow it in; grow it in the dirt you make from your compost."
There seems to be a correspondence between the aforementioned dirt and a bed of pessimism. Despite the rampant idealism that oozes out of AS220, neither Bert nor anyone I met there is a Pollyanna. The Youth Program I mentioned is born from bleak prospects for young people and the more general difficulty of time's advance (how to keep AS220 forever renewed?). Apprehending a flanking darkness — perhaps even a larger sense of mortality — led the organization to establish a program for youth. Each kid enrolled (mostly teenagers from what I could see, they lolled about the stairwells from time to time, sometimes playing guitars, sometimes flirting with one another, sometimes grumpy and morose) makes a portfolio in whatever field they are interested in. They can use it towards job or college or professional applications. But as I said, this program is not charitable. It is essential. A frank realism regularly took hold most of my conversations over the summer and with Crenca in particular, I found we quickly went down rather dark passages — discussing the bleak potential of an abstract future that entertained global warming and economic crises. "Maybe that's what humanity is actually best at,†he said. "Destroying itself.â€
"It's interesting to me that you would sound so resigned to the end of the world, but then at the same time you're putting all of your effort into this very idealistic organization,†I said.
"You gotta do something," he shrugged. "You might as well.â€
"Yes, but you're not just doing something, you're specifically invested in the idea of a future because of the Youth Program,†I said. "I'll be honest, I feel like obviously everything works well here, but I think that program is like the heart of this place. Because the kids aren't just taking classes, their education here is totally integrated into the whole organization. They are kind of brought up in community that reinforces and values all the stuff they learn, regardless of whether or not it's important in any other part of their lives. Here they're around a host of people already converted to the idea of art and expression.â€
"That's right," Bert nodded. "That's it, exactly. That's our insurance policy — the youth program. I mean, I'm getting old. Maybe I don't know what good art is. I might have lost touch a long time ago, but they're the ones that can carry this on. And you know it comes from my own background, I was a troubled kid. I had nowhere to go. We particularly want to serve people who don't have opportunities, and you know we've got 150 kids engaged a week. The youth program is our insurance policy.†He cleared his throat. "As long as the base continues to swell, contrary to elitist notions around art.â€
"Well I have to imagine too, I mean even just me in my life, I think it's really hard to get outside of standard ideas of what one needs to feel OK—"
"Sure, sure. It's absurd. All that garbage on TV it really just makes you feel lousy. It's impossible to find places where you just feel good for being who you are. That's what I'm trying to do here, with these kids, with everyone. You got to build something that's independent of all that other stuff.â€
"But then that's the thing, that's like this big irony," I shook my head and probably guffed a little. "I mean it's like culture is kind of just fucked, and you know that, but then here you are trying to promote culture. To facilitate it.â€
"You have to. It's not fucked here.â€
Give and Take Between Parts: An Interview with Andrew Oesch
October 26, 2011 · Print This Article
CP: How did you start teaching comics?Â
One of the ways we started off creating a dialogue between kids and adults was to try out our lesson ideas with a group of our friends. We would sit down and try out what we wanted to do in class with a couple of friends, this provided us with some feedback and refinement for our plans, but it also generated some awesome examples.
One of the critical story-develop tools and the primary visual vehicle between adults and kids is the series of character books we create. There are a variety of prompts and exercises we have utilized to start the germinating a character. My favorite thus far has been a process of hybridization where we start off asking the kids to draw two types of things. A pretty typical pair is "a food" and "a type of job." The kids make these individual drawings, we put the drawings into bags and everyone picks a pair which they have to combine into a character. This abstract visual mathematics can be confusing, but inevitably leads to good places… a memorable example is "The Apple Wedding Planner." The boy who drew these from the bags was confused at first, somewhat uncertain about what a wedding planner does… but that didn't matter because he could make his own meaning out of the random pairing he had drawn. The next phase in the character-develop is typically drawing a short strip using this character. After that little bit of narrative exploration with the character, we give them a worksheet with prompts to list the character's friends, enemies, special powers, height, weight, fears, and a little bit more narrative about the characters origin story. We end up retyping these stats and combine all the drawings and write-ups into a booklet. Compiling and re-distributing that book has two effects: One, it gets the participants super excited because they see there work in print! And two, the kids get super inspired by each others' creations. They start to utilize other students' creations, creating other characters in response.
Then we give those books to adults, who are equally as excited. We ask them to create adaptations using student characters. Soon we are going to put out our first anthology which features the student work and adult adaptations, so keep an eye out for that. (You can visit Secret Door Projects, to see how Ian G. Cozzens developed the Scar character).
Coming UP

This is sort of like a preview for two series of interviews and posts I have planned. You may have noticed I haven't been posting as many interviews these last couple of weeks; that's because I've been conducting them in the back room, just out of your view. It's been like a back stage shuffle and I'm getting more and more excited about launching these projects. I hope to do so starting next week.
1) The first series of interviews comes out of a month-long residency I went on this last summer. For the month of June I lived at AS220 in Providence, Rhode Island. There I made use of their most amazing print shop facility to make books and conducted interviews with different individuals running projects. From those talks I have three interviews that I'll be posting: an interview with Xander Marro and Pippi Zornoza of the ever illustrious artist-run Dirt Palace, a conversation with former-Providence resident and print maker Meg Turner about a print shop/collective she's opened in New Orleans and a recounted conversation with AS220 founder Umberto Crenca (this last conversation was not recorded and will, no doubt, suffer or shine from the process of memory). I was particularly interested the relationship between a political environment and DIY artistic initiatives. Providence seemed like a particularly interesting place to think about that dynamic given that it espouses vibrant artistic energy in a city historically notorious for its corruption.
2) The next series I'm working on is shaping into a longer trajectory in which I wanted to examine this ever illusive "hybridity" idea. As an adjective that seems to regularly crop up in conversation, it has started to feel like a buzzword of some kind, and while I love its aura I have some difficulty grasping its meaning. To that end, I've been interviewing different artists who specifically address different aspects of hybridity in their work. From Tessa Siddle, Sebastian Alvarez, Milan Mathay, and Gwenn-Ael Lynn — the project continues to grow. I'm interested in hybridity because of how it seems to challenge traditional ideas of category, therefore calling to question the structures that gather around categories, whether that structure is a kind of material power, or a linguistic scaffold. What kind of work follows from this investigation? And where do we locate the self? I'm planning a few non-interview posts on the same topic, including (for instance) a review of Marcus Coates' new book, The Trip and an old friend (the only 500 year old witch I know) has agreed to put together three hybridity spells, which should only be incanted at night.  I'm pretty excited.
Hopefully you will be too!
Stay tuned till next week

Intergenerational social mobility and the risk of hypertension

- Accepted 15 May 2011
- Published Online First 11 July 2011
Background Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to increased risk of hypertension, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. How the risk is altered by intergenerational social mobility is not well known. The aim of this study is to investigate parental SES, adult SES and the intergenerational social mobility in relation to hypertension risk.
Methods By using data from the Swedish Twin Registry, the authors obtained information about both parental and adult SES and hypertension in 12 030 individuals born from 1926 to 1958. Generalised estimating equations were used to estimate ORs with 95% CIs.
Results Low parental SES was associated with increased odds of hypertension (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.76). Low SES in adulthood was associated with increased odds for women but not for men (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.70 and OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.24, respectively). Compared with the stable low social status group, the upward mobile group had lower odds of hypertension (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70 to 0.97). Compared with the stable high social status group, the results for the downward mobile group indicated an increased risk. A co-twin case-control analysis indicated that the results were independent of familial factors.
Conclusions These findings suggest that the risk of hypertension associated with low parental social status can be modified by social status later in life. Possibly, this could be targeted by public health or political interventions. As parental social status has an impact on later health, such interventions should be introduced early.

Here is the Inferno, a standalone or built inn oven, with the same performance as the Pizza Pro (but manual rotation) at about half the cost. It also has a Fibrament slab top with twice the mass. Because of the enclosed design the oven still preheats fast. It can easily be moved with a regular hand truck. Regards,Willard

2 cars involved in crash with cow moose
MARQUETTE – The Marquette County Sheriff's Office is investigating two traffic crashes along M-95 in Humboldt Township, which occurred Wednesday night, resulting in one driver being injured and the death of a cow moose.
Deputies said the crash was reported at 6:15 p.m. and occurred about five miles south of the intersection of M-95 and U.S. 41. Two vehicles struck a cow moose, which was killed as a result.
Police said the first vehicle to hit the moose was traveling north. The vehicle – which was described by witnesses as a newer, dark sport utility vehicle similar to a Ford Escape – fled the scene. Police said the driver was described as a male in his late 50s to early 60s, approximately 5 feet, 8 inches tall, with short, clean cut gray hair. He was traveling with a female passenger.
Deputies said alcohol was suspected to be involved in this crash. The vehicle sustained damage to the passenger side front end, police said.
The second vehicle, a Toyota Camry, was traveling north behind the SUV and also hit the moose as it continued to stand in the roadway. The driver of the Toyota was a 63-year-old Munising woman police did not identify. She complained of head, neck and back pain from the crash, deputies said.
Police said the woman was wearing a safety belt and the airbags in the vehicle did not deploy. She was taken to Bell Memorial by Bell EMS for evaluation.
The carcass of the moose was taken to the DNR field office in Ishpeming Township.
Additional agencies assisting at the scene included the Republic Township Fire-First Responders and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Anyone with additional information on the SUV is asked to call the sheriff's office at 225-8435.

Montgomery College uses the Accuplacer and ESL- Accuplacer tests to assess students to determine their reading, English and math skills. Placement scores help counselors and academic advisors recommend courses that are appropriate for you.To learn about placement tests and how they are used at Montgomery College, click on our Placement Testing Brochure (pdf).
Accuplacer and Accuplacer ESL placement test is untimed. If you require accommodations, beyond extended time, contact Disability Support Services.
You must take the assessment test unless you are exempt. For more information on course placement, exceptions, and obtaining test results, click our Accuplacer Placement Guide (pdf).
Students may be exempt from taking the Accuplacer by providing minimum qualifying SAT or ACT scores in English and/or math as follows:
Course assessment waivers may also be granted (and in some cases, credit awarded) on the basis of scores on specific CLEP, and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate, or Tech Prep.
For instructions on how to submit official SAT or ACT scores contact the Admissions Office .
Accuplacer and Accuplacer ESL - Determine which test is right for you.
If your first language is American English or you have attended a U.S. school for 10 or more years (elementary, middle, high school), you will take the Accuplacer placement test. Otherwise, you will take the ESL Accuplacer placement test designed for students who speak American English as a second (or subsequent) language.
For additional information about Accuplacer and Accuplacer ESL as well as other Montgomery College placement tests (Chemistry Placement Test), click on the tabs below.
What is the Accuplacer?
The Accuplacer is a computerized self-paced, untimed test. The test is delivered in a multiple choice format. Most students complete the test within 1 1/2 to 2 hours. The test is adaptive; the Accuplacer determines which questions will be given next based upon previous answers. This provides a more accurate method of measuring an individual student's skill levels than a general test. It also means that no two tests taken are precisely the same. You are encouraged to give each question as much thought as you wish before selecting your final answer. Your scores will determine which English and math courses you are eligible to take.
The Accuplacer has three parts:
How Will I Get my Test Scores? After you complete the Accuplacer you will be instructed by Assessment Center staff about how to sign up for an academic orientation session to obtain your results. At the academic orientation session you will receive your scores and recommendations for classes.
What is the ESL Accuplacer?
The ESL Accuplacer is a computerized self-paced, untimed test. You should take the ESL (English as a Second Language) Accuplacer Test if you did not learn American English as your first language and did not attend at least 10 years of school (elementary, middle, high school) in the United States. The test results determine English and reading course placement levels.
The ESL Accuplacer Test includes both multiple choice questions and a writing sample. It is untimed to allow you to focus and comfortably demonstrate your skills. You are encouraged to give each question as much thought as you wish before selecting your final answer. For most students the test lasts approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. This test does not include any math questions. Non-native speakers of English may take the Mathematics section of the Accuplacer test after taking the ESL-Accuplacer test and placing into AELR 930 or higher.
The ESL Accuplacer test consists of a 25-minute AELP essay and four untimed computerized sections:
How Will I Get My Test Scores? After you complete the ESL Accuplacer you will be instructed by Assessment Center staff about how to sign up for an academic orientation session to obtain your results. At the academic orientation session you will receive your scores and recommendations for classes. You will be able to take the math section of the Accuplacer depending on your English and reading scores.
Students who wish to register for CHEM131, Principles of Chemistry, must meet one of the following prerequisites:
1) a grade of C or higher in CHEM 099, Introductory Chemistry, within the past two years; 2) an appropriate score on the Chemistry Placement Test (CPT); or 3) consent of the department.
The purpose of the Chemistry Placement Test is to ensure that students are sufficiently prepared with the background knowledge and skills needed to succeed in CHEM 131. The CPT is on material that students should already know from high school chemistry. To better prepare for the CPT, please review basic mathematical skills and chemical concepts found in the CHEM 099 Introductory Chemistry textbook or the first 3‐4 chapters of any college‐level general chemistry textbook.
This test is a 30‐minute, computer‐based test, and use of a scientific, non‐graphing calculator is allowed. It is recommended that the Chemistry Placement Test be taken at least one week before the student plans to register. The student will know their test results immediately following the test. If they pass, they will get an automatic override in Banner, enabling them to register for CHEM 101 the following day. If they fail the test, they will be informed that they should register for CHEM 099.
NOTE: Students may only attempt the Chemistry Placement Test once. Please note the Pre‐ or Co‐requisite for CHEM 131: Assessment levels: ENGL 101/READ 120; MATH 093 or MATH 096 or appropriate score on the mathematics placement test.
The Chemistry Placement Test is available on a walk‐in basis at all three Campus Assessment Centers. Please check each Center's testing calendar for testing hours. Chemistry Placement Test Information

|Rescooped by Ken Morrison from :: The 4th Era ::
By 2020 Millennials will make up over a third of the global workforce. That's one reason so many reports about them exist. Some say they are disloyal, self-absorbed and lazy, while others claim they're a generation of digital entrepreneurs and innovators. Some aim to dispel the myths others have created. Just type "Millennials are..." into a Google search to see the stereotypes.
This is not just another Millennial report. This report presents new findings with fresh insights from the perspective of both employers and employees. As world of work experts, we have nearly 30,000 employees advising 400,000 clients on hiring decisions and talent development every year. We find work for 3.4 million people—about half of whom are Millennials.
We carried out quantitative research across 25 countries surveying 19,000 Millennials, including 8,000 ManpowerGroup associate employees and more than 1,500 of our own hiring managers. We asked what they look for in a job, what development opportunities they seek and what would make them stay with an employer. We wanted to understand how different they are or aren't from the rest of the workforce and from generations before them. We wanted to ensure that the sample represented all working Millennials; not just the top percent of tech-savvy earners, but also the graduates and non-graduates across all industries, income and education levels.
Post very interesting, revealing some aspects that I did not know about millennials careers. For those who speak Portuguese or Spanish, more about people management can be read in https://emgotas.com

Topic: merging fields
hello, is it possible to merge two fields in a table to act as one?
I have a product and version field in my database, I've need to search them independantly, and then combined.
I've tried
:group => "product and version" #this works, but not in the way that I want
I've tried using :join, but I think thats or tables rather than just fields.

If there was ever a time to enjoy the finer things in life, it is certainly most earned and deserved during your senior years. Treating yourself to a relaxing massage and beautiful aromatics are two wonderful pampering techniques to soothe the soul and any find bodily relief from the aches and pains that come with a life fully lived. What better compensation is there than enjoying the Human Touch massage chair while inhaling a wonderful aroma direct from nature? Being able to utilize this chair from the comfort of your home at any time of the day or night provides relaxation on demand. The added bonus of nature's aroma can transport you emotionally to a vacation paradise, or trigger a memory of a great experience previously relished.
There are multiple benefits to inhaling pleasant scents – the least of which is that the simple act of deep breathing can reduce stress – a trickle-down ailment that accounts for an estimated 75 to 90 percent of doctor visits. Stress reduction is recommended in every physical or mental ailment ever diagnosed. If all doctors' orders included massage and aromatherapy, we would all be on our way to better health; luckily no prescription is needed.
Many oils have been studied to reduce tension and promote relaxation, such as the citrus oils, lavender, geranium, neroli and ylang. You can apply up to five drops of any single note or any combination of these natural essential oils to a candle diffuser, or simple apply a few drops to a tissue and breathe in while enjoying the hands-free action of the Human Touch massage chair as it gently rolls up and down the spine, massages your calves or jumps cat-like across your shoulders. I sometimes use different aromas with different settings. For instance, try rosemary or eucalyptus during the stimulating action that invigorates muscles, or customize lavender or orange for the slow relaxing movement that releases tension.

What are the advantages of the passive version of the M1 pickup?
You have to run it through a DI. And you can run the active version of the pickup through the DI anyway... So what advantages does it have? Well besides some people not wanting to worry about batteries.

The Creators Project: How did you first become interested in fashion?
Jum Nakao: At first I was always interested in working with interfaces, making and creating means to interfere with reality and daily life. I always imagined that I would do something in technology.
What was your background before you became a fashion designer?
I took a special high school course that focused on electronics. I then decided to end the course and started thinking of some kind of interface, some way of dressing people that established a dialogue. Then I realized that clothes worked as this interface between people and the world. They are what occupies the space between our skin and what others see. So I decided I wanted to better understand how to build clothes and the relationship between the thread, the trace, the pattern, and the human body. Then I started working as a tailor for two years, making clothes for several types of bodies and understanding that everybody has a pattern, every defect has a solution—a process where you can, through more organic and straight lines, compensate and create new shapes. And then, trying to understand more about fashion, I started studying accessories, and began working as a jeweler.
This is interesting theoretically, but difficult to imagine in practice. Can you give us a real life example?
There is project that I developed for Oi when they launched in São Paulo. They wanted to cover the history of fashion in Brazil. I think that the history of fashion in Brazil is not something linear; it has many different facets. I thought of creating a surface, and they asked me to imagine a piece of clothing that was kind of like a projection surface. Then I thought of a multifaceted piece of clothing—a polygonal piece of clothing—so that when the projection washed over it, when it filled the piece of clothing with images, the images also looked kind of cubist and completely distorted, which highlighted that the clothing had many different aspects, each representing different types of Brazilian fashion.
Your paper fashion designs have garnered a lot of praise and attention. The process to manufacture them must be extremely complex.
For São Paulo's Fashion Week in the summer of 2005, we spent 700 hours to make those clothes, and we used almost one ton of paper for something that lasted seven minutes. In the end, everything was torn up on the catwalk. We used vegetable paper and turned it into something sublime and fantastic with low- and high-relief carving, laces and manual cuts, origami, laser cuts. The idea of the project was to show that it does not matter what clothing is made of. People think that everything must be made in high definition, everything must be made in gold, everything must be made in brass, everything must be made in silk, but it doesn't matter. It shows people that their values need to be reanalyzed, that materiality doesn't matter. That is why we destroy everything, to show that there is something more important, something much more lasting than what people see and value at first sight.

hello, I am a new pu erh drinker (less than one year). I have bought some tea from Yunnan Sourcing mostly. When I buy I am basically guessing I just pick various ones without much knowledge as to what is good or bad. There are several factories listed such as:
Six famouse tea mountain
nan jian
and others
Are any of these better than the others? Is one more prestegious/famous/respected than the others? Does one put out better tea than the other (in general)? Is one the Lipton of Pu Erh?
Just curious I figure somebody knows alot about these companies.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $15.93 (57% off)
Change in the formula? No more marine phytoplankton?
Posted by Reviewer2019435 on Mar 04, 2014
I have been using this for the last 9 months and was happy with it, mainly because it included nannochloropsis gaditana (marine phytopklankton) which is an expensive superfood. In my last order, I happened to re-read the ingredient list and shockingly, it is no longer included in the formula!! I hope I am wrong about this, but the label has changed and no longer includes this important ingredient! I would very much like to know why?! And if this is true, I am no longer going to buy this product. Plus - I have a sense this is one way a manufacturer tries to increase profits while keeping prices seemingly the same... I hope I am wrong. Oh well...
Love Your Liver -- Live As Lover
Posted by The3Treasures on Apr 12, 2013
In Chinese medicine, green foods are said to be beneficial to your liver by nourishing and harmonizing the liver. In western medicine, green foods are said to detoxify the liver so that the liver can serve its function as the strong fat burner for the body. The chlorophyll found in green foods has extracted energy from the sun and we eat these greens to energize ourselves and to preserve the longevity of our own cells. The green plants have done all the work for us, and Madre Labs has brought us some of the most prestigious plants in the kingdom that specialize in ways to restore us -- cleanse our fatty livers, lose some weight, gain some energy, detoxify our bodies. Thank You IHerbs, Thank You Madre Labs. I found Midori Greens on IHerbs and I am never without this product. I have so many stories from my friends and clients about this product. One friend and I talk about Midori Greens at least once a week. She recently hoarded this product when it was sold at $14.95 on a short-date sale. She bought 5 containers and found that she received non-short dated containers. She's so caught up in the benefits that she's received. Here are some of the benefits: Her eye inflammation has healed (she was under a doctors care and had to get injections around her eyes that made her look quite scary; she's refused the injections, but has not told her doctor why -- her secret is Midori greens). Her uterine fibroid has shrunken significantly, and her gallbladder issues have all but disappeared. No other lifestyle practice had been added or changed in her life, but she's been able to see these significant changes in herself and so has everyone else. All of her improvements make sense according to what I've learned studying Chinese medicine. I am a slimmer, more agile person and I believe it was adding the Midori greens to my diet and other lifestyle practices that has made the difference.
Not what I expected unfortunately
Posted by 5402691167501439486 on Oct 11, 2013
Since recovering from a near stroke 2 years ago, dropping blood pressure to normal, losing 19kg and looking super fit with no fat on me (and I rarely even exercise these days), I am in the habbit of not eating processeed foods and eat mostly super foods (the world most popular top 10) and greens when I can as I dont like many vegetables at all. I have taken a few different super green formulas over the last 2 years and I was extremely disappointed to find that this formula was not only REALLY weak tasting when mixed in the same quantity of water as per my other greens, but saw absolutely no difference except my stomach bacteria condition going backwards slightly. I definately say that using on rotation Ormus supergreens (the best by far) and Paradise Herbs Orac energy greens are by far superior to this formula in my opinion. It is of course each to their own.
Buyer beware! The formula has changed!
Posted by Reviewer1377232 on Dec 11, 2013
I love this stuff - it is top quality, but - at least the jars that were sold as December special do not contain marine phytoplankton anymore (and it was not- and still is not - stated on the webpage). I hate it when companies change the formula without giving proper notice of it(even advertising it as "new improved" -even if "improved" is not always improved - is better than that!) By the way, they did the same with Eureka berries where they removed mangosteen (but at least in that case they updated also the info on iherb page (but not on madrelabs page, though).
Feel energised after taking this!
Posted by Reviewer1438643 on Jul 01, 2012
I bought this because of the good reviews and Midori Greens certainly delivers. I take a scoop every morning mixed with a little fruit juice and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil and it gives me energy for the whole day. Sometimes when I feel tired or on the verge of getting a cold I take a scoop on its own mixed with half a glass of water and I feel better almost immediately. The taste is not bad taken on its own. Taste better than wheat grass which I was taking peviously. Now I switch to Midori Greens because it gives me better energy and is also a Super food.
Great way for introducing top-notch Greens into your diet!
Posted by GreenWarrior on Oct 17, 2013
Great overall product for adding a wide spectrum of high quality greens into your diet. Potent rejuvenating cleanser with great quality materials and nutritional profile and an easy to get used to taste. I ranked it the highest among all similar products and cannot recommend it enough. Feel free to click on my user name for more reviews! Health and Peace!
Love this stuff
Posted by 5160573259416528970 on Dec 29, 2014
On top of being a great source of greens, I have noticed another great side effect of taking this product. After I eat dinner if I am craving something sweet, I drink a scoop of this with water and the cravings vanish! I have a horrible sweet tooth, so this is a great thing for me.
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer2575855 on Sep 06, 2009
I take this with my Immune Punch every morning and I feel like my body is getting the best nutrition possible. I'm not a huge pill popper, so to be able to mix a couple of spoonfuls of this in my juice every morning is very convenient and really suits my lifestyle. The combination of mixing all the powders creates a super nutrient like drink. Like I said in my other review, if I forget to take any of my other vitamins, I feel good knowing that I covered my bases with this drink.
It is the quality
Posted by Reviewer2778741 on Feb 20, 2011
Keeps me regular. Has no fillers.
Posted by Reviewer1020146 on Jul 05, 2009
After taking this Midori for more than three weeks, I have any acne all gone. I think it is the effect of a combination of more vegetable intake and with this Midori. In will continue with this for few more months to see the long term effect. GOOD!

Not yet. I'm sure Tor and his team are working on something for Netbeans and the Textmate people are probably as well.
Hi there, NetBeans 6.0 mostly handles Rails 2.0 (such as .html.erb extensions). I've integrated some additional fixes in NetBeans 6.1: it now handles the new shorthand syntax in database migration files (for active record code completion), the changed meaning of parameters for the scaffold generator are now reflected in the UI based on which version of Rails you're using, and I fixed some hyperlink issues with filenames in the output window from the generator. Finally, 6.1 also bundles JRuby 1.0.3 which is capable of running Rails 2.0 without the extra open-ssl gem. (Of course, 6.1 is a dev build so it may have other issues... There's no really strong compelling reasons to switch yet; you can mostly work around the Rails 2.0 issues that I've listed above.) If you're aware of any other Rails 2.0 problems please let us know - see http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyFeedback .
-- Tor
i guess TextMate still works the best for Rails 2.0 now~
Thank you Tor!
i guess TextMate still works the best for Rails 2.0 now~
Could you explain how?
>>i guess TextMate still works the best for Rails 2.0 now~
You can easily update any of the Bundles for TextMate, and the latest versions support Rails 2.0
Ruby In Steel supports all the usual features - colors, code folding, snippets, intellisense etc. for both .rhtml and .html.erb

CSEA reaffirms push to control costs at County Home
MAYVILLE – CSEA is reaffirming its commitment to negotiate separately for nursing home workers following the County Legislature's vote this week not to sell the County Home.
"Legislators did the right thing Wednesday night when they voted not to sell the safety net Chautauqua County Home to Avi Rothner and Altitude Care," said CSEA Chautauqua County Unit President David Fagerstrom. "It is important now for measures recommended by the Legislature's Ad Hoc Committee on the County Home and the Center for Governmental Research to be implemented."
The CGR report contained several money-saving ideas, including negotiations with the workforce. CSEA is committed to finding ways to control costs and increase revenue as suggested in the recent report and the union asked County Executive Greg Edwards in November to negotiate terms and conditions of employment for employees of the Home that are separate from those of other county workers represented by the union.
"We remain dedicated to nursing home residents and taxpayers who demand quality long term care and access to the care that only the Chautauqua County Home provides," said Chautauqua County Unit President David Fagerstrom. "We are once again asking that these negotiations begin immediately."
Under the union proposal, nursing home workers would remain members of CSEA Chautauqua County Unit 6300, but a separate section of the contract would include articles specific only to county home employees. The union's request to negotiate remains contingent on the full funding of the county home, including Intergovernmental Transfer funds (IGT) and the implementation of other CGR report measures.
"It is important for the home to be fully funded as negotiations take place, and for other recommendations in the study to be considered for implementation as well," Fagerstrom said. "The Chautauqua County Home is an asset owned by county residents, and an important safety net that provides care for all regardless of ability to pay. We believe it can remain taxpayer-owned and thrive if the CGR report is fully and seriously followed."

Spring is right around the corner!!! I think it's time for a new thread, Norma...
Spring is here. My tomatoes have been in the ground for 2 weeks.
Craig,You are so lucky to live in a area that has much warmer weather than we have. I sure wish it was warm enough to start growing stuff again, but I will have to wait. What types of tomatoes did plant?Norma
Some grape, little pears, a couple different heirlooms, and a yellow variety I forget the name of.
I'll have much more opportunity to grow things "in the ground" after I get moved to OR. Even if I end up in an apartment where gardening is difficult (although, at the least I should be able to do something along the line of a window box), my parents are up that way, as well as my sister. I'm sure I could talk at least one of them into a little bit of space in their gardens. Of course, I'll still keep up the hydroponics stuff... cuz, you know, I'm kind of a nerd that that way.
Craig,The tomatoes you chose sure sound good. Keep us updated with photos if you can.Norma
Will do when I get home from Arkansas. I put in 6 orange, tangelo, tangerine, and satsuma trees, and a Meyer lemon and a Persian lime as well.
Looking good...Funny, I have just about that exact same size and set up you have. I was shocked at how much dirt that raised bed took to fill.
Here are the tomatoes after about three weeks in the ground.CL
Getting bigger. A few roma tomatoes on the vine.
All that is coming up in my garden in the chives. They are hardy.
They were growing everywhere along the river we canoed on in NW Arkansas.

Cramer: Keep an Eye on Europe
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Debra Borchardt: The ECB left rates unchanged. Pretty much what we expected. So Jim, are we starting to think that things are maybe stabilizing over in Europe? Last week it was all about Spain and Italy and things were getting worse again.
Jim Cramer: I don't think things are stabilizing. I think things are still bad. Now, we see some countries doing better. Scandinavia is doing better. The UK is doing better. Germany is doing better. This is a callout from Ralph Lauren (RL) . They did that last night. We've also seen it from PVH (PVH) . We've seen it from a number of companies talking about Europe not going down anymore, but Europe is still weak if you look at car sales, Europe is still weak when you look at Spanish banks.
Debra Borchardt: We were just talking about News Corp (NWSA) and Italy.
Jim Cramer: There is enough anecdotal that there is no reason why they don't take the rates down. It would shock the system. It would lower the currency. They want the currency lowered. You have this inconsistent Draghi comment saying, "Look, things can get bad, we want the currency lower." If you want the currency lower cut the rates. Get things better. Do what Bernanke did. His inconsistency is spilling over into our markets. Our markets were looking pretty good today until Draghi said there's a lot of risk here.
I was listening to Bob Rubin this morning, my old boss, and he used to be at Citi (C) . You may have plus or minus views on Rubin, but he did say that he thinks that we've gotten too complacent about Europe.
Debra Borchardt: It's been going on for years.
Jim Cramer: I know. Tell me about it.
Debra Borchardt: They've had meetings about meetings and more meetings.
Jim Cramer: So far this year it hasn't affected us, but maybe now it will. I was going back and forth with my colleague who writes for us, Matt Horween this morning. He said, "Listen, don't be complacent about Europe."
What I've been saying is, it hasn't impacted us. It hasn't impacted us. You had a big percentage move in January because it wasn't impacting us. Well, new calender month, new talk -- impacting us.
I think that the combination of the guy wanting the currency lower -- which then makes it so that we feel like, well perhaps we're going to lose our advantage because of a weaker dollar -- and not doing anything with the rates, is an unholy move and making it so that our stocks could get hammered. We were talking about flow of funds into international funds.
Debra Borchardt: Right. We've definitely seen the inflows on the equities side, much bigger . . . huge record numbers in January. I believe 65 billion. We're seeing these numbers continue into February, going into the global equity funds, which I felt was very interesting.

Answer by Suniti Bidikar
Chemical engineering has many aspects where in one can work and make a career which I will state below, but first and the foremost thing which I wish to say is - it's not dangerous and no one gets burned for no reason.
Chemical engineering is not chemistry based though one deals with chemicals. Technology and engineering are two different aspects. Technology gives know-how and engineering makes that know-how work. So the engineering principles are all based on high level of maths specially in chemical engineering as unlike other branches of engineering there is a constant change every moment. So mostly one deals with partial differential based model equations. So if you are good at maths go ahead. In the field of chem engg one can work in R&D, Pilot plants, design(purely desk job), shop floor, teaching etc. A lady engineer can do well in any field as I have worked in all except teaching. If you are surrounded by oil & gas companies you can opt for plant design. There is always a shortage of Process(chemical) engineers . Secondly some companies pay process engineers more than others as it's a highly specialised branch.
If there are any more questions I will be glad to answer.
