Engle's public demeanor is unforgettable, often rocking back and forth, almost always shouting in a raspy voice. Here's a selection of video, audio, and printed resources. You may find yourself unable to stop watching!
The Call to the November 1 event
"A confrontation between light and darkness...a battle to safe the very sanctity of marriage...to the victory goes the soul of the nation."
AUDIO: The Keys to Dominion
It's almost an hour long, but you can get a good feel in the first minute and a half. Engle lays out his theology that the church — led by apostles like him — is meant to have power and dominion over the earth.
The Call Institute: Recruiting Video
God is changing the understanding of Christianity in a generation: really picks up tempo at about 50 seconds in.
Lou Engle at Protect Marriage event
Marriage in California could be a gift if it stirs the church to prayer for revival and to restrain the powers of darkness. Engle talks about a prophetic cream in which massive praying hands appear over the San Francisco skyline, a signal of a spiritual outpouring that will "heal" homosexuals" and "break the Jezebel dominion over this state."
Facedown Fast Day 2 Commentary
Engle calls for "war against the politics of neutrality that wants to drive us away from the foundational truths of the law." He said that people who are willing to compromise on issues of marriage and life "are opening the door to the spirit of anti-Christ." It's fine to talk about compassion and poverty, but "we must war to take a stand for the issues of law, truth, marriage, and life...Satan is pouring out his strongest resistance...we must be willing to take a stand for righteousness and justice."
Facedown_Fast Day 4 commentary:
Engle apologizes to the rest of the world for U.S. moral pollution, and explains the divine mandate he received to raise up a prayer movement for the ending of abortion.
Facedown Fast Day 5 commentary:
All about judges. Why gay rights are not civil rights. Engle predicts that "a wrath will come upon the whole nation" if judges permit same-sex marriage and abortion. Chief Justice John Roberts was an answer to prayer. At about 10 minutes, he talks about marriage equality as the "legalizing of evil" and "anti-Christ legislation" and charges that churches are threatened with having to hire homosexuals. Warning: the government wants your children.
Facedown Fast Day 30 commentary:
This one's pretty much all about abortion and the importance of defeating Obama to keep the nation from going into the "trash heap." Abortion, he says, "literally fuels the demonic powers over a nation....I believe America is at a death moment." He talks about Sarah Palin as a modern-day Esther — "literally a beauty queen!" — who appeared just as a pro-choice candidate was on the verge of sweeping the nation.
God Tube: January 2008 in Tallahassee, Florida
A classic Engle performance, in which he exults about the release of the "Horton Hears a Who" movie and suggests Dr. Seuss was inspired by God and included numerological signs that his book was meant to help end abortion in our time. He also talks about not making alliances with Jezebel and raising up a new youth army. Warning: includes a creepy section about him dreaming about being in bed with his son — a warning from God to stop watching pornography.
God Tube: Why the Call?
In this recruiting video for the August event in Washington, D.C., Engle describes the history of the Call and the coming of a "John the Baptist extreme Nazirite fasting and praying young generation" and God's help in making the call a reality. We're losing a nation, but God can turn things around. Mass fasting and praying as God's prescription for a nation in crisis.
God Tube: Christian TV
Engle talks about The Call going to Jerusalem and hoping for a great revival in Israel bringing Jews to Jesus.
Engle on the 700 Club
Standard spiel about fasting prescribed in Joel 2. Engle praises Bishop Harry Jackson, talks about the 24-hour Houses of Prayer.
God Tube: Lou Engle on CBN
A preview for the Call on the Mall. The moral levees are breaking (abortion, marriage equality in California) and America needs revival more than ever.
God Tube: Recruiting for Call on the Mall
Hoping that the event will shift this year's elections and bring a spiritual revolution to America.
God Tube: Lou's Son Jesse at the August Call on the Mall
At about 30 seconds in you can see Lou's son Jesse, at age 13, hasn't fallen far from the tree.
AUDIO only podcast — preparing for 2007 Call in Nashville
Calls George W. Bush "the burning Bush" because he nominated Supreme Court justices who are restricting abortion (he celebrates the Court ruling that upheld a ban on "partial birth abortion"). He's praying that God will drive the issue of abortion as a wedge into the elections, and says he thinks God hasn't cured AIDS because he is punishing us for abortion.
Engle part of trailer for documentary on the "Underground Church"
Engle: "Right now they haven't seen the true church. There's an underground church that the world has no idea that exists. Once they get the stage, it's over with."

Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, Canada needs northern gas, but the north needs a fair deal from Canada.
To the media last week the minister suggested that the decision of the Federal Court just did not matter. It seems to me the minister has forgotten his role in judgment on this process. He has a duty to hear from every northerner who has a stake in the pipeline.
Could the minister advise the House if he will be thinking of the needs of average northerners, particularly the needs of aboriginal northerners, upon whose land this pipeline will be built, or will he be thinking of the needs of his friends in the Petroleum Club?
Aboriginal Affairs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Winnipeg South
Rod Bruinooge Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Federal Interlocutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians
Mr. Speaker, we will be keeping in mind all the needs of aboriginal Canadians throughout the north. This is very important for the economic benefits that will be seen from this project.
We are proceeding with other plans as well, a $500 million socio-economic fund, which will help remediate the effects of this project.
Government Programs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Michael Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, one of the devastating cuts recently announced by Canada's new heartless government was to the summer career placement program. This was a double whammy and a disgrace. It hurt students attending university or college and it hurt important community organizations.
In my riding the grants went to assist mental health groups, seniors, the disabled and many more. However, the primary beneficiaries were groups that helped young children, like the Boys and Girls Club and youth recreation, all of which were not for profit.
Could the minister be specific on which group of young Canadians she was most seeking to hurt, children of the Boys and Girls Club or students saving for post-secondary education?
Government Programs
Oral Questions
11:55 a.m.
Lynne Yelich Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Human Resources and Social Development
Mr. Speaker, the former government used that summer job program to provide wage subsidies for the largest corporations in the world. At the same time, it put money into the hottest labour markets.
We are going to stop subsidizing big business and stop putting money into the red hot labour markets. We are going to refocus money where jobs are harder to find by spending $45 million per year to help students who are having difficulty finding work.
The Economy
Oral Questions
Rick Dykstra St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance.
Yesterday the Minister of Finance introduced the economic and fiscal update. As part of the update, the minister introduced a tax back guarantee for all Canadians. He outlined Canada's new national goal of eliminating our total net debt by 2021.
Could the arliamentary secretary outline for the House how the tax back guarantee will benefit all Canadians in our country?
The Economy
Oral Questions
Calgary Nose Hill
Diane Ablonczy Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his outstanding work as a member of the finance committee.
Canada's new government has set a new bold national goal of eliminating Canada's net debt. As we pay down Canada's national mortgage, the interest savings of reduced debt will be returned directly to Canadian taxpayers each and every year through a reduction in personal income taxes. That is our tax back guarantee.
It will give Canadians a direct stake and a direct benefit in how Canada's new government manages finances on their behalf. Less debt means less interest on debt, which will mean lower personal taxes for Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I am very proud today to present two petitions with hundreds of names on them.

Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Alex Atamanenko British Columbia Southern Interior, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have a petition with over 100 names asking that terminator technology in Canada be banned. The fact that seeds are made sterile and that seed saving is key to the livelihoods farmers, the petitioners call upon Parliament to enshrine in legislation a permanent national ban on terminator technologies to ensure that these are never planted, field tested, patented or commercialized in Canada.
Routine Proceedings
12:05 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, I have two sets of petitions to present.
The first petition calls upon the Canadian government to immediately withdraw Canadian troops from Afghanistan and to develop an independent foreign policy that promotes world peace and ecological sustainability and to grant residence to American war resistors.
The second set of petitions is also about Canada's role in Afghanistan. The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to begin the withdrawal of Canadian Forces from the counter-insurgency mission in southern Afghanistan.

skoop it up
Looking for a new way to get your fruits and veggies? You might want to give Skoop a try.
It's a powder that contains 10 servings of fruit and vegetables, as well as a host of other healthy stuff, in each scoop, according to the makers. Add it to almond or coconut milk, shake, and drink your nutrients. Or stir it into some Greek yogurt.
Skoop comes in two flavors, Sweetgreens and Chocofresh. (We can give a firsthand thumbs up to Sweetgreens.)
The company is based in Boulder and Skoop was created by the team that launched Izze sodas. It's available online at healthyskoop.com.

High-quality produce, store cleanliness and accurate shelf tags are among the factors determining where shoppers shop, according to a recent survey conducted by SupermarketGuru for National Grocers Association.
Eighty-four percent of respondents said they buy the majority of their food in supermarkets or grocery stores; other choices included warehouse or discount stores, farmers markets and speciality food stores.
The respondents said the following factors were "very important" in choosing where to shop: High-quality fruits and vegetables, 91 percent of respondents; clean, neat store, 82 percent; accurate shelf tags, 80 percent; high-quality meats, 74 percent; convenient location, 53 percent; sale or money-saving items, 50 percent; fast checkout, 49 percent; locally grown produce and packaged goods, 44 percent; and organic produce, 30 percent.
The national online survey was conducted October through November 2013.
IHOP introduced sweet cream cheese crepes to its menu last week in honor of Valentine's Day. The crepes — three to an order — are filled with sweetened cream cheese and topped with blackberries, red raspberries and peaches. They'll be available through April 6 to make the last weeks of winter and the first weeks of spring a little sweeter.
6 ounces feta
1⁄3 cup finely chopped scallions (green onions)
11/2 teaspoons sweet Hungarian paprika, plus additional for garnish
6 large eggs
1⁄3 cup milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill for garnish
If feta seems too salty, soak in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain well and crumble into fine pieces. Combine in a bowl with the scallions and paprika and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt and pepper until frothy.
Melt the butter in a 10-inch omelet pan over medium heat. When the butter bubbles rapidly, add half of the egg mixture and stir until it just begins to set. Continue cooking until the eggs are almost completely cooked, running a thin spatula around the edges to prevent sticking, about 11/2 minutes.
Sprinkle half the feta mixture on the omelet, then reduce the heat to very low, cover and cook for 1 minute more. Slide the omelet onto a plate, folding over, if desired.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make one more omelet.
Serve at once, lightly sprinkled with paprika and dill.
Serves 2.

An Idea For A New Subscription Model
I'm not a fan of free-to-play. Never have been, it's unlikely I ever will be and, to be perfectly honest, my mind boggles as to why it's so popular. OK, I get the money aspect of subscriptions but let's be realistic here, it's not as if F2P really is free. You still pay one way or another, probably the same amount as a sub eventually, quite likely even more. I mean, even before I could play a game like Everquest 2 or Age of Conan I'd have to shell out for the race and class that I prefer. And then more for broker access. And more for bank slots. And character slots. And bigger quest journals…
F2P also comes with all the headaches and distractions of having opportunities to buy extra items shoved in your face constantly and the driving motivation of developers ambiguously twisted. Give me an old fashioned, straight up subscription over F2P any day. Even if you only played two hours a week, it's still great value, so much to the point that I think anyone who doubts it probably needs to re-evaluate their concept of value for money. Even playing only a single measly hour a week, you'd be hard pushed to find activities that were cheaper than $3.75 an hour. I guess you could go for a walk in the park… but make sure you don't stop for a coffee on the way.
But I'm digressing here. As much as I'm an advocate for the subscription model (or better yet, free-to-try combined with a sub model à la RIFT), I know there are some people out there who are so money sensitive and tight with cash that they'd make Scrooge McDuck look generous. So to them, and the rest of the world, I offer this wondrous MMO subscription concept: the more people that play, the less everyone pays.
Imagine a game that had a sub model that cost the average $14.99 a month to begin with but for every 100,000 players past the first, the price started to drop. Now it would take some clever foreign maths genius with an insight into MMO margins to figure out an appropriate sliding scale that still meant the developers turned an increasing profit as the price decreased but I'm sure it could be done. I'm also sure players wouldn't object to paying $5 subscriptions on popular MMOs.
Of course, this type of financial model wouldn't likely be of interest to Blizzard (they've got nothing to gain) but I reckon it might attract other MMOs who were looking for incentives to help build their playerbase up. And that's where this subscription model truly shines: it encourages players to invite their friends, it encourages them to form long-lasting communities and it encourages developers to focus on attracting and pleasing their players rather than making gimmicky, over-priced items to sell. It's win-win for everyone.
So there you have it, the perfect subscription model. Unless you're Blizzard.

Liverpool 8 is the modern day Goodnight Vienna to Vertical Man's Ringo - discuss
Just listening to Liverpool 8 and I put it second after Ringo's "modern" albums after Vertical Man. I'd put Vertical Man as my second favourite album after Ringo.
There's something about L8 that remins me of Vienna - especially Pasodobles, Give It A Try and Harry's Song.
What are your thoughts (on this rather abstract idea for a thread). Are there any other latter day solo Beatles effort that follow this pattern?

Ed board discusses reduction in seats
WESTFIELD – There will soon be fewer seats available on the Westfield Academy and Central School Board of Education.
Discussed during the February WACS meeting was reducing the number of seats on the WACS Board of Education, which was a ballot proposition passed by the voters during last year's budget vote.
School Superintendent David Davison reminded the board of how the seats will be reduced from nine to seven over the next three years.
The schedule will be as follows: in May there will be three seats up for election, but only one will be filled for a three-year term, bringing the number of total seats to seven; in May 2014 there will be three seats up for election, but two of the seats will be for three-year terms and one seat will be for a two-year term; in May of 2015 there will be three seats up for election and all three will be for three-year terms.
From there, there will be two seats open in May 2016, two seats open in May 2017 and three seats open in May 2018, all for three-year terms.
Also at the board meeting, the board approved a resolution authorizing Davidson to serve as a district representative and contact person to work with BCS to seek funding for a comprehensive study of reorganization and related referendum expenses of a centralization of the two districts. Cockram asked if there were any benefit of being the lead district, to which Davidson replied no, other than having to do all the work.
The board also passed a resolution casting its ballot for Edith Byrne of Fredonia, Sylvester Cleary of Forestville, Joseph DiMaio of Jamestown, Martha Howard of Silver Creek and Norman Upperman of Clymer for three-year terms to the Chautauqua County School Boards Association Executive Committee as well as for Byrne as President, Gary DeLillis of Sherman as First Vice President and Upperman of Clymer as Second Vice President. The resolution also approved the amendments to the CCSBA Constitution and By-Laws.
During the discussion items portion of the meeting, Edwards relayed what was talked about at the legislative breakfast held in January. Most of the questions being asked of New York State Assemblyman Andrew Goodell and New York State Senator Catharine Young at the breakfast were along the lines of what can districts do when the state is decreasing, or at least not increasing, its aid, and also how districts can better forecast state aid, Edwards reported.
She also said there is still no clear answer from the state as to how to handle school insolvency. There was also talk about the Governor's State of the State speech where he mentioned mergers, regional high schools, longer school days and funding pre-kindergarten.
Edwards brought up the disconnect between the fact that districts are talking about cutting kindergarten, which is non-mandated, and the Governor is talking about funding pre-kindergarten.
"We think they know what position we're in, but we need to constantly communicate with (our state politicians) so that they understand how close we are to the edge of financial insolvency and educational insolvency," Edwards said.
Edwards noted Lobby Day will be Sunday, March 10 and Monday, March 11 in Albany and that it would be great if WACS could get some people to attend.
Greabell added to Edwards' report by mentioning the downstate districts are not facing the same problems, so the leadership from there does not understand the financial problems of upstate schools. Cockram added Young's "grand accomplishment" was to skew the formula so lower wealth districts received more state aid.
The BOCES annual meeting and component district vote date has been set for Tuesday, April 23. Since the WACS Board of Education must meet that night to vote, the board moved its meeting scheduled for April 22 to the following night.
During her report Elementary Principal Shanda DuClon reported the Westfield Teacher's Association's Circle of Friends concert raised over $4,500 for Aili Makuch's family, an "impressive amount of money," according to Greabell. Secondary Principal Ivana Hite reported 63 percent of middle school and 51 percent of high school students made the merit or honor rolls for the first marking period. Greabell commended Hite and the staff on the high percentages.
During public comment, Brocton resident Bobby Wise asked what initiatives the district is taking on anti-bullying. Hite mentioned the group Sources of Strength, having a Champions for Today assembly and Jamestown Business College's anti-bullying presentation. Wise, a 2008 BCS graduate, shared he was bullied and has now created a non-profit, anti-bullying program, which can be found at hateisugly.com. He described it as a creative way of approaching anti-bullying and is trying to team up with all the schools in Chautauqua County, maybe even making it a BOCES service.
During board member commentary, Cockram suggested making changes to the policy regarding voters submitting propositions on the school's ballot since it does not specify if such a proposition, if passed, would be binding or just an advisory referendum.
In other business:
Christopher Rickerson was approved as a certified substitute teacher for the remainder of the 2012-13 school year;
Nannette Knappenber-ger was approved as a certified long term substitute teacher for elementary music;
Kim Klaes was approved as an uncertified substitute teacher for the remainder of the 2012-13 school year;
Donald Eggleston was approved as a volunteer tennis coach for the 2012-13 school year;
Chelsea Froman was approved as an uncertified substitute teacher for the remainder of the 2012-13 school year;
Carol Schutt was approved as a substitute school nurse for the remainder of the 2012-13 school year.

Morning Briefing: 10 Things You Should Know

The transporter chief (or transporter operator) was a crewmember stationed in one of the several transporter areas on a starship. On Starfleet vessels, this operator was usually a petty officer, ensign, or lieutenant in the operations division. Chief Petty Officer Miles O'Brien, a transporter chief on board the USS Enterprise, was often stationed in transporter room 3. (DS9: "Emissary")
In 2371, the USS Voyager lost its transporter chief in the events surrounding its stranding in the Delta Quadrant, necessitating a replacement. (VOY: "Parallax")

Stocks Baked as Bernanke Yaks
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages reversed gains in the final hour of trades on Wednesday as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke answered reporters' questions.
The drop came despite an earlier spike in the major indices after the central bank fulfilled the wishes of the markets for a fresh round of stimulus.
After the two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee -- the Federal Reserve's rate-setting arm -- policy makers announced they will replace Operation Twist, which expires at the end of the year, with the purchase of longer-term Treasury securities initially at a pace of $45 billion a month. This would be in addition to its ongoing purchases of additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion a month.
Also, policymakers decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at an exceptionally low zero to 0.25% as long as the jobless rate remains above 6.5%, inflation expectations for the next one to two years stay subdued and longer-term inflation projections continue to be tame.
Prior to the announcement, major equity averages were trimming gains in late morning trading amid signs of discord in the U.S. fiscal cliff negotiations.
House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday criticized President Barack Obama's most recent budget plans as unbalanced and focusing too much on tax rate hikes, according to The Wall Street Journal.
"His plan does not fulfill his promise to bring a balanced approach to solving this problem -- it's mainly tax hikes," said Boehner, according to the Journal. "His plan does not begin to solve our debt crisis, it actually increases spending."
Obama indicated Tuesday evening that he's optimistic a deal will be reached with congressional Republicans.
Obama has softened his stance on tax increases, lowering his counteroffer in tax revenue to $1.4 trillion over a decade from $1.6 trillion.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3 points, or 0.02%, to 13,245.
Breadth was positive, with winners outpacing losers 17 to 13. The top percentage blue-chip gainers were Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) , DuPont (DD) , American Express (AXP) and General Electric (GE) .
DuPont shares closed up 1.4% after the chemical company announced a $1 billion share buyback plan and boosted its full-year profit guidance to the high end of the previously estimated range.
Microsoft (MSFT) shares advanced 0.29%, as the company plans to increase the availability of the new Surface tablet at stores and to extend the operation of temporary retail stores for the holiday shopping season.
Intel (INTC) shares were up 0.15%.
Sprint Nextel (S) is in talks with Intel and Comcast(CMCSA) to buy out their stakes in Clearwire(CLWR) , the U.S. wireless provider, Reuters reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Sprint shares gained 1.6%. Comcast shares added 0.05%.

26 Weeks to 26 Miles: Week 15
The Sunriver Marathon for a Cause was recently listed by Race Center Magazine as one of their Top 10 "Hardest Races You'll Ever Love" in the Pacific Northwest. Like anything worthwhile in life, our races offer opportunities and challenges. Here, we provide a quick rundown of common race challenges to help you navigate our events.
Temperature: The key to navigating our temperatures involves three words: layers, layers, layers. September in Sunriver is generally the ideal time to run with us – cool, crisp mornings lead to gently warming afternoons. The dry heat rarely gets to blazing temperatures; generally, the thermostat peaks around 80 degrees well after our racers have crossed the finish line.
Elevation: Sunriver lies at 4,200 ft, and coastal visitors say that they notice it at times. To be fair, we hear elevation feedback most often from shorter, faster races than we do after distance events. Moreover, for the many runners who race with us to prepare for upcoming events, our elevation is a major benefit.
Turns: The turns in our course have been both praised and pilloried, so each runner must decide for himself where this falls. We hear that our courses are certainly more interesting than long and straight city runs. Every turn on a Sunriver course presents a new pastoral view and the opportunity for a tranquil encounter with native wildlife.
Surfaces: We think one of the greatest benefits of our races is that most of the distance is run on paved bike paths. No cars whizzing past, no rocky trails, and no soft surfaces that tax your calves and hip flexors unduly.

When Master Schreiber needs sharp, reliable performers to represent his school at public events, he calls on his elite Demo Team, among whose distinguished members are Cuevas brothers Jesus, 10, and Julian, 8, both in Leadership training. The dynamic duo also assists with Tiny Tiger classes on a regular basis. "They lead the exercises with authority even though Julian is himself only the height of the Tiny Tigers," Master Schreiber says. They even serve leadership functions as Floor Judges, speaking assertively, guiding anxious but capable fellow students through the process of rank promotional testings. As leaders in the dojahng, these youngsters are developing priceless communication skills - and possibly career skills - that will surely open doors for them throughout their lifetimes. With younger sister Nayelli quickly rising through the ranks, these remarkable siblings have set a common course for uncommon achievement in the ATA and beyond!
Team PRIDE tuition assistance students often dedicate themselves to Songahm Taekwondo with such enthusiasm and diligence that in time they become some of the school's best leaders. They work hard and practice Songahm life skills in their personal, professional, educational and social lives, extending positive influences into needful places far beyond the dojahng. It is our pleasure to highlight a few of Master Jordan Schreiber's most accomplished students, who repay the kindness of Team PRIDE assistance with achievement and honor in their lives, and with true leadership in their schools and communities.

The demand towards mobile computers in the recent years resulted in outselling desktop personal computers by laptops in Q3. The impact of such success of portable systems on makers of desktop mainboards is hard to overestimate as the growth in their market segment may be negligible, or even negative.
Back in Q3 2008 the world's largest maker of microprocessors – Intel Corp. – has shipped more mobile central processing units (CPUs) than desktop microprocessors and going forward the gap may widen. Some estimates show that in 2009 the growth in CPU unit shipments may be just around 2%, which, in the light of the fact that mobile chips outsell desktop processors, may mean decline in desktop PC mainboards shipments.
Mainboard manufacturers are not standing still and are working hard to either stabilize or reduce their expenses and find new markets for themselves, which may be uneasy to do since traditional players are also competing hard with each other.
Major motherboard makers, such as Gigabyte Technology and Micro-Star International (MSI), have cut their workforces, reports China Economic News Service web-site. Pegatron Corp., a spin-off from Asustek for PC-related manufacturing, is also reportedly to freeze personnel recruitment to cut operating costs. Asustek Computer itself, the world's largest maker of mainboards, recently said that it expects Q4 revenue may decline 10% from the Q3 2008.
Virtually all major mainboard producers have diversified their product lines into mobile PC and devices markets, though, with mixed success.
Elitegroup Computer Systems (ECS) acquired notebook PC maker Uniwill Polytech in 2006, however, so far the company has not gained substantial market share.
Gigabyte has been actively developing business deployments in both notebook PC and mobile Internet devices (MID) markets, though, also without much success.
MSI expects to ship about 2.5 million own-brand notebooks this quarter, which is an achievement, considering that all of its mobile computers are aimed at consumers and the company does not spend fortunes on promotion and advertising of those machines.
Mainboard market shrink means that the competition between producers will get even fiercer, which leaves one wonder about the destiny of smaller motherboard makers.

Panasonic Upgrades South American In-Flight Connectivity
Panasonic Avionics is looking to boost in-flight connectivity speeds for commercial airlines flying over South America, as the company announced it will begin using Telesat's new Anik G1 satellite in the region.
Telesat deployed Anik G1 in May with the goal of meeting the growing demand for satellite communications over South America. Aircraft equipped with Panasonic's in-flight Wi-Fi service will now have greater bandwidth and faster connection speeds with the use of Anik G1's Ku-band network.
In a statement via email, Brian Bardwell, a spokesperson for Panasonic, confirmed that the Anik G1 connectivity service is currently operational over South America for Panasonic-equipped aircraft.
David Bruner, vice president of communications for Panasonic, said the upgrade will give the company a "key advantage" over competitors servicing the South American region. The company will be looking to expand its in-flight broadband services and its eXTV in-flight television service with the increased capacity from Anik G1.
"With the 2014 World Cup in Brazil approaching, the extra capacity ensures fans will be able to watch the exclusive Sport 24 network, which is offered in conjunction with IMG Media, and catch key matches while travelling to South America and even to the tournament," said Bruner.

Apple Slingshot: Making Sense of the Apparently Irrational
The term "Apple slingshot" immediately makes sense to those who realize that institutional buying and selling of Apple stock is a more reliable explanation of its deep selloffs and skyrocket rallies than any particular fundamental strength or weakness.
As this slingshot terminology has morphed into mainstream vernacular we've noticed that some still fail to understand the underlying forces that produce the slingshot action.
Let's begin by explaining what the slingshot is not. The Apple slingshot is not a hedge fund conspiracy. It is not caused by any of the negative rationale that you may hear in the media which includes the underwhelming launch of Apple Maps, the lack of innovation from Tim Cook, iPhone 5 supply constraints, iPad mini cannibalization, Samsung competitive threats, the earnings miss and, of course, the absence of Steve Jobs.
To the uninformed, these variables sound reasonable enough to support a selloff but to those who understand Apple's historical stock precedent, these reasons appear to be nothing more than noise. Seasoned Apple investors know there is more to it.
After 56 days in which Apple has sold off $200 it's easy to fall prey to the noise in the media. At this stage of the correction most Apple investors don't know which way is up or which way is down. They're questioning the very air that they breath.
This kind of confusion is normal in the absence of an accurate explanation of the irrational stock action. After all, there is no denying that Apple's fundamental growth story remains the envy of every company on planet earth.
Would Samsung trade places with Apple? In a heartbeat. Would Google (GOOG) trade its Android platform in favor of the iPhone/iPad/App Store trifecta? Yes, please.
Apple innovation and profitability is unparalleled. So why does the stock drop $200 immediately after Apple set itself up for the greatest holiday sales bonanza in history with new iPhone's, iPod's, iMac's, and iPad's? I'll answer that question with another question.
Suppose you were a mutual fund manager and your strategic models allowed for a maximum 8% allocation in any individual stock. What would have happened to your Apple holdings in 2012?
As of Sept. 21, Apple was up 74.9% year-to-date. Apple allocations at the largest mutual funds had grown to between 13% and 15% of total holdings with the fiscal year-end approaching on Oct. 31. Because of Apple's strength, because it was such an outlier when compared to the rest of the market, these money managers were forced to re-balance their portfolios in order to comply with their risk models.
The Apple slingshots, or in other words, the deeper-than-expected selloffs, are caused by systematic institutional re-balancing. This is the unintended consequence of Apple's status as the most widely held stock of most hedge funds, indices, pension funds and mutual funds.

Sports news from the Pollock, SD area.
Posted 2/11/13 (Mon)
The Lady Tigers were unable to hold off the Stanley County Buffalos Friday night, Feb. 8. They gave up a five point lead in the fourth quarter and lost, 40-37.
The first half was a slow paced affair at least as far as scoring was concerned. The teams barely made it to double digits by half. Stanley County led, 6-5, at the quarter stop. They got the first six points of the contest. M-P didn't score until 6:30 into the game. Then they got a bucket and a trey.
M-P opened the second quarter with a trey and grabbed the lead. That was the only scoring until the 3:08 mark when the Buffs got a free throw. M-P answered with a free throw. In the final 2:00, both teams put down three free shots leaving the Tigers up, 12-10, at the half.
The scoring pace quickened in the third quarter as did the Buffs' pressure. Two free shots by the Buffs tied the game and after a single free shot by M-P a trey gave the Buffs the lead, 15-13. M-P came back with a free shot and then the teams exchanged baskets. Another trey by the Buffs spread their lead to four. M-P closed within one only to have the Buffs pop back out by four, 24-20. The Tigers got the last two buckets of the quarter to knot the game up at, 24-24.
The only scoring in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter was a single bucket by the Tigers and two free shots by the Buffs. In mid quarter action, the Buffs got three from the charity stripe. The Tigers got three from the line and a two and trey from the field to go up, 34-29. Stanley County came right back with two more from the line and a trey to tie the game at, 34-34. The Buffs retook the lead with a put back. M-P got a free shot at :45 to get within one. With :35 to go, M-P put the Buffs on the line and they cashed in two to go up, 38-35. M-P came back with a bucket and then put the Buffs back on the line. They sank two to ice the win, 40-37.

Welfare Provides Better Way Of Life Than Work
To The Reader's Forum:
Want a raise? You can stop looking! In 35 states, welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job, according to a new study by the libertarian Cato Institute, and in 13 states welfare pays more than $15 per hour.
The state-by-state estimates are based on a hypothetical family participating in ONLY seven of the 126 federal anti-poverty programs: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families; the Women, Infants and Children program; Medicaid; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; etc. and receiving help on housing and utilities.
In Hawaii, that translates into a 2013 package of $49,175 (with a couple kids up to $61,000). The top five areas for welfare benefits, along with their 2013 amounts, were: the District of Columbia ($43,099), Massachusetts ($42,515), Connecticut ($38,761), New Jersey ($38,728) and New York ($38,004).
One of the single best ways to climb out of poverty is by taking a job; but as long as welfare provides a better standard of living than an entry-level job (and much more), recipients will continue to choose the couch over work.

PCB Mill
From i3Detroit
A small, precision milling machine for prototyping circuit boards. It can also be used for engraving of faceplates and other items if the proper bits are used. This unit was made in approximately 1999 by the German company LPKF Laser & Electronics AG. It uses standard 1/8" shank bits, 38mm for cutting the board and 36mm for cutting and milling the copper. The 38mm length is pretty standard, but the 36mm bits are more specialized.
Before using this machine, you must meet with someone who is experienced in using it. The bits are expensive and easily broken, and you must be careful when using the machine as there is a risk of injury if it is not used safely.
Maintenance Info
- Why does the ProtoMat make the final cut to separate my circuit board from the PCB stock offset from where it mills the circuits?
- If you are making a bottom-layer-only board, the CircuitCAM software still puts the cutout milling layer on the top. In BoardMaster, pick Configuration / Phases and choose the cutting phase. Check the "Reversed side" box to put the cutting paths in this phase on the bottom. The cuts, drills, and mills are all assigned to "phases" which roughly correspond to the layers in CircuitCAM. Each phase works on one side of the board. What it's doing in your case is that it is expecting you to flip the board over so it's cutting from the top side, so it's cutting where your board would be if you flipped it over. Since you're making a single-sided board, you should not need to do this. (You remembered to add in bridges so your board doesn't fly out, right?)
- Why are some of the pads for components on my board missing? The area where they would be is milled out and the trace that would connect to the pad just stops there.
- If the missing pads are octagons or some other non-round shape, then the problem is that these are special "flash" element codes in the Gerber file that CircuitCAM does not seem to render. There are two options. One fix is to go back to your PCB design application and change the pads to circular pads. In Eagle, you might have to edit the symbol for the component(s) in the Library file that they are drawn from. The other alternative is to fix the pad sin CircuitCAM. Pick Config / Format Configurations / Gerber - Aperature list ... from the menus, double-click the configuration that has it's Used check box checked (do NOT use the edit button!). Find the aperatures (e.g., D11), edit each one (click the name and then the edit button - do NOT double-click the name!). In the edit window, choose the correct shape and make sure the size is correct. Make sure to save your work.

Most investors make a bad decision the minute they pick a mutual fund. The key to successful fund investing, therefore, becomes not turning that one bad decision into a multitude of mistakes. The problem here isn't funds, however, so much as human nature, but since a prominent study shows that basic investor behaviors aren't changing, it's time that fund investors figured out how to make the best of their bad thoughts.
Boston-based DALBAR Inc. just released its 20th "Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior," a landmark study which has shown since it was first done in 1984 that investors lag the mutual funds they buy, with seemingly every move working against them.
The tale is hardly new. Investors buy a fund after a period of good performance, waiting for the fund to prove something before adding it to their portfolio. But when the market turns and the fund's asset category cools — or when today's hot manager regresses toward the average after a period of oversized results — investors bail out, and look for another fund to buy, typically choosing again something that's been hot lately. In short, they buy high and sell low, and repeat the process multiple times.
In general, fund investors sacrifice the good — decent funds with reasonable returns — to pursue the great, and wind up with neither. DALBAR's study quantifies the phenomenon. The Standard & Poor's returned 9.22% over the 20 years ending in 2013, but the average equity fund investor only earned 5.02%. Why?
Well, DALBAR noted that investors truly are at their worst when the market does poorly, selling once they have a big paper loss and sitting on the sidelines until the markets have recovered their value, thus participating in the market mostly when it is in retreat and sitting out the times when securities are on the rise.
One key part of the DALBAR analysis is its "Guess Right Ratio," which looks at fund inflows and outflows to see how often investors correctly anticipate the direction of the market. If net inflows are followed by market gains (meaning investors were rewarded for throwing more money into their funds) or net outflows are a precursor to a decline (meaning investors sought shelter just in time), then investors guessed right.
Guess right more than half the time and you'd expect to be making decent money; in fact that DALBAR study shows that, historically, that's how it works.But then you get a year like 2013, which only had two down months. Investors "guessed right" 75% of the time, but they were still lousy market timers. None of the S&P 500's best six months during the year followed a month in which fund inflows were significantly above average.
The easy fix to the problem is simple, but nearly impossible: be better at guessing the market's direction.

Implications for practice and research
Screening for prenatal depressive symptoms and pregnancy anxiety is recommended.
In predicting birth outcomes, essential controls include antidepressant use, medical risk conditions, body mass index and smoking.
Analyses should consider low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth (PTB) together to determine any distinct psychosocial risk factors and establish precise pathways.
The prevalence of prenatal depression and anxiety ranges between 5% and 16% and the consequences are extensive.1 In addition to negative maternal effects, research points to detrimental fetal effects, and higher rates of PTB and LBW.

As I am learning more and more about this incredible beverage, I am curious about the hot new varieties, trends, types, etc. Preferably, I would like to find brands/types that have not yet hit the mainstream. I was also interested in learning more about the tea trading and commodities end of the business. How is tea bought and sold and distributed? Any ideas or trading/importing companies I should contact?
Any help you could give would be great!!
Andrew Rappaport

Cabell Huntington Hospital and Pleasant Valley Hospital (PVH) announce that they are beginning exclusive discussions toward a collaborative arrangement/partnership agreement that will be designed to mutually benefit both organizations. Leaders at CHH and PVH plan to work together to develop the agreement over the next 90 days.
Cabell Huntington Hospital has earned a reputation for innovation, commitment to advancing medicine and enhancing the medical talent in our region. "This partnership will enhance the best of both organizations," stated Brent A. Marsteller, President/CEO of Cabell Huntington Hospital. "The growth and development of Cabell's academic affiliation with the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine and Marshall Health physicians over the past decade has proved that joining together to provide highly-specialized physicians and services means better health care for the community. We know that formally collaborating with Pleasant Valley Hospital will benefit the communities to our north while continuing our high standard of personal care in Huntington and the surrounding areas."
Recently named one of the top hospitals in the State of West Virginia for Quality Patient Care, Pleasant Valley Hospital has been seeking a partner that will help them continue to ensure the residents of Point Pleasant and Mason County have access to top quality health care.
"These are exciting and challenging times for all health care organizations. We chose to seek a partner that we believe would best help us meet those challenges and best serve the people who live in our community. We believe that Cabell Huntington Hospital's vision for the future best aligned with our vision," said Larry Unroe, interim CEO of Pleasant Valley Hospital.
The development of a partnership agreement between CHH and PVH will provide opportunities for new and enhanced health care services, based on the needs of patients and the community. The PVH campus will continue to provide hospital, nursing home and rehabilitation services. "This opportunity will allow PVH to be at the forefront of health care excellence in the Tri-State," stated Unroe. "The Board of Trustees and Management believe PVH services (i.e., hospital, nursing home, rehab, etc.), our local physicians, and our PVH staff will continue to play a vital role in our communities."

Skip to comments.Another killer disease striking homosexuals
Posted on 04/15/2013 12:09:44 PM PDT by wesagain
"Health officials work to diffuse fears of national epidemic"
Gay sex is becoming even more dangerous.
Health officials are warning sexually active gay men about an outbreak of potentially deadly bacterial meningitis in Los Angeles and New York.
The disease has infected 22 people in New York and caused seven deaths since 2010. Health officials in Los Angeles are testing to see if the strain infecting gay men there is the same one hitting New York.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation began offering free meningitis vaccines today after a gay man from West Hollywood was declared brain dead on Friday.
Thirty-three-year-old lawyer Brett Shaad died within a week of feeling sick.
Authorities suspect he was exposed to bacterial meningitis at a party in Palm Springs the weekend of March 30 that attracts gay revelers from across the country.
The New York Daily News is calling the disease an STD threat, even though the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not classify bacterial meningitis as a sexually transmitted disease.
The CDC does say the disease can not be spread by casual contact, but, Some bacteria can spread through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions (e.g., kissing).
KTLA reported the death of Shaad, a West Hollywood lawyer, has caused alarm.
Were not saying at this point that we have an outbreak in Los Angeles, Michael Weinstein, president of the AHF, told KTLA. But we know that this disease is serious, its deadly and that it can spread relatively easily.
The AP reported Shaad went to an emergency room on Wednesday and on Thursday he was in a coma.
Symptoms of the disease often appear within three to seven days of exposure. They include fever, stiff .......
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
22 people affected in 3 years? Falling anvils have done more damage in that amount of time.
***Thirty-three-year-old lawyer Brett Shaad died within a week of feeling sick. ****
Maybe it was something he ate.
Oh that was bad!
Because they draw blood and feces when they have sex, they will forever be the transmitters of disease.
It's science.
So that's what they call it...
A study which analyzed tens of thousands of gay obituaries and compared them with AIDS deaths data from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), has shown that the life expectancy for homosexuals is about twenty years shorter than that of the general public.
The study, entitled Gay obituaries closely track officially reported deaths from AIDS, has been published in Psychological Reports (2005;96:693-697).
Male homosexual average life expectancies are 39 with AIDS, and 41 WITHOUT AIDS . . . using their own data.
Life expectancy of people who smoke . . . in their 70s.
But we cater to homosexual infiltration in our junior and high schools, suggest that it's something they can't control or cure, and rip the cigarettes out of their mouths. Now, who are the morons???????
Hmmmm, could this be somehow related to ...uh....you know what?
Nah, must be Bush/Conservatives/Tea Party/Pro-Lifer's fault.
Gay sex is so obviously unhealthy and unnatural, yet the media continue to pretend otherwise.
Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me how gays can engage in the riskiest behaviors and actually believe there are no consequences. After the problems their behaviors have caused become apparent, suddenly it becomes everyone's problem to fix. Why is that?
A simple fact. It draws widespread condemnation when they are confronted with it. If they want less disease, stop buggering each other.
Back in the 80's when AIDS first appeared, a libtard told me that they had it on good authority that the disease was introduced by American scientists to monkeys to reduce the population of poor people in Africa.
I told her that I'd read that AIDS could only be spread through sexual intercourse. So if the scientists boinked monkeys then either (a)they would have had to caught them in the act, (b>the monkey talked, or (c)the scientist(s) confessed. Which was it?
The look on her face was priceless.
Soon they'll be begging us to cure them of their chosen deathstyle (packer's disease) and demanding that we pay for it. Oh, and claiming "disability" .
AIDS was their warning shot. Yet they ignore it.
Some guy commented on an IBD article about the shortened lifespans of homosexual men,
and some other lib/gay guy was really ticked off and denying the truth of it.
In a word......... Definition of SCHADENFREUDE
: enjoyment obtained from the troubles of others
And AIDS is the most TOTALLY PREVENTABLE DISEASE. Just get help and don't continue with homosexual disgusting practices . . . and then don't come running to the general public when you contract AIDS and boo-hoo about getting it. I'm so fed up with these sodomites!
They lie, our liberal government accepts that and panders endlessly to them. They are probably fewer than 5% of the population (I guess 2-3%) yet they create as much havoc and consternation for a size much larger than that - 30-40%.
There is nothing 'gay' about them. They are dirty nasty unnatural group of perverts that just don't like other people seeing them for what they are.
There are also new strains of gonorreah that are resistant to the usual antibiotics used to treat it.
It's mostly affecting MSM (that's liberal textbook speak for men who have sex with men . . .just in case you didn't know).
You play, you pay ...sorry, homos.
I don't think it's the homos that are the root of the evil,
I think they're simply tools of the left to criminalize Christianity.
This is a catastrophe, and it's all Ronald Reagan's fault.
terrible :-)
No, not the sole root-cause, just another contributing factor with the racists, the America-haters, the liberals, our Democrat Government, Unions, illegals, foreign Muslims, et al.
***Soon theyll be begging us to cure them of their chosen deathstyle (packers disease) and demanding that we pay for it.***
I've always felt this was the REAL REASON for OBAMACARE.
The real reason for 0bamacare is to kill political enemies by denying them healthcare.
***And AIDS is the most TOTALLY PREVENTABLE DISEASE.***
The best defense is to set on your a$$ and keep your mouth shut!
1.5% of the population is responsible for 65% of the reported STDs in the US according to the CDC. Should we really be surprised to read this news?
"... the life expectancy for homosexuals is about twenty years shorter than that of the general public."
The life expectancy of the average US citizen is 78.2 years making it 58 years for homosexuals.
As in coverage for "pre-existing conditions"???
Isn't that a pretty picture? If you didn't know better, this could be describing grandma and her fellow church-lady revelers out on holiday.
The fact that you ignore the Global Warming component shows just how brainwashed you really are.
Wonder if this can be used to deny employment to homosexuals in the same manner that smokers are being denied employment—Increased insurance costs.
If we lived in a country that still grounded itself in common logic, you'd be right.
Bacterial meningitis is not a homosexual disease, but it is an extremely dangerous one. The US Army just goes bananas whenever it has an outbreak (usually associated with nurseries with small children, who can show fewer symptoms but infect adults.)
"The most common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). Children often exhibit only nonspecific symptoms, such as irritability and drowsiness. If a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.
"A lumbar (spinal cord) puncture diagnoses or excludes meningitis. A needle is inserted into the spinal canal to extract a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), that envelops the brain and spinal cord."
My own experience with it was being on one of the larger Army posts when a few people came down with it. The entire post was sectored off, and medical people carrying suitcases full of gamma globulin began to vaccinate *everyone*. The gates were closed by armed guards and nobody was allowed in or out. And I mean *nobody*.
Some unhappy individuals had to leave their post sector on urgent business after being given their shot, and as often as not, they got a second shot. If you have never had a shot of gamma, it is very thick and takes a strong thumb to inject.
All of this is because during WWII, the US Army lost a LOT of soldiers to meningitis, and they are still ticked off about it.
It is cruel and irresponsible to be teaching American public school children to interact with one another like this...so they can be unhappy, get sick and die young, too. They lie, proposing to children two equal and wonderful choices - to marry someone of your own sex or to marry someone of the opposite sex. It's so twisted and deceiptful.
I will never understand liberalism's thirst for oppression, poverty, death and suffering. We do have the freedom to make decisions in our lives but we also must suffer or enjoy the consequences of those decisions.
Socialization of children should be about teaching them how to make responsible and loving choices in life. They should learn to analyze data, set goals for themselves and to think independently so they can come to conclusions on what to do and what not to do in life. With this mess of politically correct herd-think, a pack of elitist lies and manipulations, many children don't stand much of a chance. For those children who have parents with a culture and brain, liberals diliberately and aggressively contradict and disrespect goodness.
This was known 20 years ago when I was in the actuarial department of a life insurance company. Homosexuals' life expectancies are dramatically below average, even when AIDS deaths are factored out.
Interestingly, most of the decreased life expectance for smokers is not due to smoking-specific illness. Smoking is a "marker" for an array of lifestyle choices that, in the aggregate, shorten lifespans.
.......................... Some bacteria can spread through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions (e.g., kissing). .......................
Uh, if that was the case, maybe some females might get it!
Seems to me that there's a bit more going on between the poofters!
Too many psychotic men who get off on the risk.
a whole 22 dead.???......best we get busy and tax the heteros a billion more so we can get to the bottom of why 22 good homos HAD to die from a disease that they spread thru their rectums.....I sure want to know why..../sarcasm/
The first symptom is a pounding in the a$$.
For male homosexuals it's dramatically shorter than female homosexuals, basically because of the way fluids are received.
Wonder if there's a difference between pitchers and catchers?
Hmmmm, could this be somehow related to ...uh....you know what?
Nah, must be Bush/Conservatives/Tea Party/Pro-Lifers fault.
Not spending enough taxpayer dollars?
God will not be mocked.
We were told in 1980 that GRIDS was not a "homosexual disease". But GRIDS (Gay Related Immune Deficiency Syndrome), even when renamed to HIV or AIDS, still was the result overwhelmingly of the filthy behavior of sodomites.
Now in NYC their filthy behavior is spreading BM.
There is nothing new under the sun:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." (Romans 1:27)
If King James English is not your cup of tea, here the last clause in contemporary English (New American Standard Bible (©1995)): :
...receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there's nothing GAY about it!
Radical homosexual agendists want desperately to pretend this is an "equal opportunity disease" --just like they tried to claim about AIDS (until evidence to the contrary made such claims universally laughable).

Although I have been employed with Davenport University for nearly three years, I am still fairly new to the military advising role. However, that does not mean that I will not do everything in my power to make your transition from the military environment to the academic environment a smooth and rewarding experience. In fact, I take great pride in my ability to ask questions when needed so that I can always provide the most up-to-date information to my students.
Having been married to a member of the Army National Guard for 15 years, I feel as though I provide valuable experience when it comes to living the life as a military spouse. The military life brought about its fair share of hard times, but there are also so many rewarding times, such as the amazing people I have been so blessed to meet. I cannot wait to get the opportunity to learn about our new students and develop relationships which last all the way to graduation. I look forward to getting to know all of our past, present and future military students!

The ecological other: Indians, invalids, and immigrants in U.S. environmental thought and literatureRay, Sarah Jaquette, 1976- (University of Oregon, September , 2009)[more][less]Ray, Sarah Jaquette, 1976- 2010-05-08T01:26:33Z 2010-05-08T01:26:33Z 2009-09 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/10352 xi, 233 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. This dissertation argues that a fundamental paradox underlies U.S. environmentalism: even as it functions as a critique of dominant social and economic practices, environmentalism simultaneously reinforces many social hierarchies, especially with regard to race, immigration, and disability, despite its claims to recognize the interdependence of human and ecological well-being. This project addresses the related questions: In what ways does environmentalism--as a code of behavioral imperatives and as a set of rhetorical strategies--ironically play a role in the exploitation of land and communities? Along what lines--class, race, ability, gender, nationality, age, and even "sense of place"--do these environmental codes and discourses delineate good and bad environmental behavior? I contend that environmentalism emerged in part to help legitimize U.S. imperial ambitions and support racialized and patriarchal conceptions of national identity. Concern about "the environment" made anxieties about communities of color more palatable than overt racism. Furthermore, "environmentalism's hidden attachments" to whiteness and Manifest Destiny historically aligned the movement with other repressive ideologies, such as eugenics and strict anti-immigration. These "hidden attachments" exist today, yet few have analyzed their contemporary implications, a gap this project fills. In three chapters, I detail nineteenth-century environmentalism's influence on contemporary environmental thought. Each of these three illustrative chapters investigates a distinct category of environmentalism's "ecological others": Native Americans, people with disabilities, and undocumented immigrants. I argue that environmentalism defines these groups as "ecological others" because they are viewed as threats to nature and to the American national body politic. The first illustrative chapter analyzes Native American land claims in Leslie Marmon Silko's 1991 novel, Almanac of the Dead . The second illustrative chapter examines the importance of the fit body in environmental literature and U.S. adventure culture. In the third illustrative chapter, I integrate literary analysis with geographical theories and methods to investigate national security, wilderness protection, and undocumented immigration in the borderland. In a concluding fourth chapter, I analyze works of members of the excluded groups discussed in the first three chapters to show how they transform mainstream environmentalism to bridge social justice and ecological concerns. This dissertation contains previously published material.

Every year, representatives from United Nations member states, UN bodies, and civil society organizations gather in New York for the two-week session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). This year I attended my first CSW and was privileged to co-lead the U.S. Delegation with our Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Samantha Power. We were also joined by our Deputy Head of Delegation, Ambassador Elizabeth Cousens, the U.S. Representative to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
The CSW seeks to improve women's political participation, economic opportunity, social development, health, and education. The 2014 CSW reviewed challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set for 2015and to help define Post-2015 Development Agenda.
I spent the first week of the CSW meeting with representatives of other governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector to advance U.S. foreign policy priorities on women and girls. We were especially proud to co-host an event on the Equal Futures Partnership with the Government of Denmark. The panel discussion, which also included representatives from the governments of Australia, Peru, and Tunisia, as well as from the World Bank and UN Women, took a hard look at how gender-based violence impacts the ability of women to participate politically and economically in their societies. One of my favorite parts of CSW was meeting with dynamic young women and girls from across the United States who had come to the CSW to ensure that challenges shared by girls worldwide are addressed in a comprehensive and meaningful way in the new Post-2015 Development Agenda.
After lengthy negotiations the member states of the CSW reached consensus on the Commission's principal outcome document, known as the "Agreed Conclusions." This document notes that the MDGs have made some good progress -- including on primary education enrollment, decreasing child deaths and maternal mortality, and slowly increasing women's representation in government. Disappointingly, the Commission failed to agree to language recognizing the unique challenges faced by members of certain groups, including LGBT women and girls.
The Agreed Conclusions recognize that more progress must be made on issues such as violence against women and girls, including child, early, and forced marriage; universal access to sexual and reproductive health services; and women's economic empowerment. The conclusions also acknowledge the significance of ensuring that women and girls have access to comprehensive sexual health education, equal pay for equal work, and participation in decision-making so that women and girls are fully able to enjoy their human rights.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon noted when he opened the CSW: "We cannot achieve a world of dignity for all until we end gender inequality in all its forms." The United States could not agree more, and that is why we strongly support a stand-alone goal for gender equality, as well as the integration of gender throughout the Post-2015 Development Agenda. We recognize that until gender equality and women's empowerment is fully met, progress will be slow and uneven across the board. This means continuing our work on the unfinished business of the MDGs -- including by expanding girls' access to education at all levels. We must also tackle those issues, such as ending gender-based violence, not originally addressed in the MDGs that we know hinder gender equality. Ending gender-based violence is high on this list.
The United States remains fully committed to advancing the status of women and girls and promoting gender equality across all of our U.S. foreign assistance efforts. These commitments build on approaches institutionalized in the State Department Gender Policy Directive, USAID's Gender Equality and Female Empowerment Policy, the U.S. Government's Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence, the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, and other essential gender strategies embedded across our programs and investments, like the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The United States will continue to work through multilateral bodies, such as the CSW, and collaboratively with other governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector to make certain gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is at the forefront of the new Post-2015 Development Agenda. The Agreed Conclusions and the CSW were a critical step to making this a reality.
