Recording the History in Spielberg's "Lincoln"
American University professor Greg Smith recently lent his talents as an audio film specialist to Steven Spielberg's latest film, Lincoln. As the assistant sound designer for the movie, Smith helped bring historical authenticity to the project by walking in Lincoln's footsteps to capture what he heard during his presidency.
The School of Communication sat down with Smith, Assistant Professor of Audio Technology and Affiliate Professor of Film and Media, to discuss working on the sounds of a movie that the media is calling a masterpiece:
SOC: How did you get involved with Spielberg's latest film?
Smith: My mentor, who is sound designer for the Lincoln, Ben Burtt, called me up one day with the question "What sounds did Lincoln hear?
SOC: What was your specific role in helping with the movie?
Smith: I had to brainstorm and think about, "What did he actually hear during his presidency?" and "How can I incorporate these sounds into the film?" Many of the sounds needed for the movie are right here in D.C. It was just a matter of trying to find them.
SOC: What were some of the sounds that you recorded for the film?
Smith: I traveled to the St. John's Episcopal church where Lincoln attended services. The church was built in 1822 and still has the original bell heard by Lincoln and even the pew he sat on. Audio: Hear the bell ring
Along with one of my students, I was able to climb into the bell tower and record it. We were told that we the first people to go up into that bell tower in over 50 years. Lincoln also walked on the very same floorboards that are in the church today and I was able to get the sounds of the wood creaking as well as the creak from the pew where Lincoln actually sat.
Some other interesting sounds that I worked on were in the White House. Gaining access was difficult at first but once we were given the green light we were able to record quite a few things there. We recorded the doors located in the East and Green rooms; opening and closing and knocking on them. And Burtt and I recorded three of the mantle clocks that were in the White House in Lincoln's time; one of them was on the fireplace mantle in his White House office.
SOC: What was one of the most interesting experiences working on the film?
Smith: I had the opportunity to travel to Frankfort, Kentucky to record the sound of Lincoln's actual gold pocket watch. The watch has been passed down by Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln. The watch is located at the Kentucky Historical Societal Library. The curator was quite gracious in allowing me to come in and record the ticking of the watch. Audio: Hear Lincoln's pocket watch ticking
SOC: Why do you go through so much effort to record authentic sounds when you could just mimic the sound using a modern equivalent or through digital technology?
Smith: I figured why not do it? And it's fun. I've spent years recording sounds all over the world, and in fact, donated quite a few of them to the Bender Library in a sound effects collection. It was also fun to challenge myself to be historically accurate. It made the project a lot more important to those of us working on it. If we have the opportunity to record accurate, authentic sounds we always try to take advantage of it.
Professor Smith will speak about his work on "Lincoln" at a lecture co-sponsored by the School of Communication and the Department of Performing Arts on November 29 at 2:30 pm in the Wechsler Theater on AU's main campus.
Smith is an SOC alumnus who received his MFA in 2010 in Film and Media Production. During his career, he has worked for Lucasfilm and IMAX. His current projects include a charity Christmas CD. Next semester, he plans to teach Post Production Film Sound and Fundamentals of Audio Technology.

Frank W. Keaney Coach
Inducted in 2006
Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Inductee 1960
Frank "Menty" Keaney devoted three and a half decades to the University of Rhode Island as a basketball, football, and baseball coach. Known as one of the earliest architects of run-and-shoot basketball, Coach Keaney compiled a 401-124 record in 28 seasons. During that time, he led Rhode Island to four NIT appearances. His 1939 Rhode Islands Rams were the first college basketball team to average over 50 points per game. In 1943, URI averaged 80.7 points per game, earning them the nickname, "The Firehouse Game." A celebrated educator and administrator, Keaney finished his 36-year career (1920-56) at RISC as Director of Athletics. Keaney Gymnasium was dedicated in his honor in 1953, and the school color, "Keaney Blue," was his creation.

Cute but not so comfy
"Super cute for dance fitness class, right? Sadly I didn't realize I would need 1/2 size larger until after wearing them in a dance fitness class for five minutes. Had to change to my old workout shoes after the warm-up as these were too tight. It's a bit hard to do aerobics when your foot is falling asleep :-) I found these to run narrow and just a wee bit small. So bummed that I wore them to class instead of trying them out at home on carpet so I could have returned them. Lesson learned!"

Today, our holiday shopping methods may be different than our ancestors. We make trips to shopping malls and Black Friday events, create digital wish lists and shop online. But we still get that tingle of excitement when the truck pulls up and the boxes are delivered to our front door, ready to be re-wrapped and presented to our loved ones.
As children (and maybe even as adults) many of us poured over the mail-order Sears, Roebuck & Company and Montgomery Wards Christmas catalogs, dog-earring pages as we made those lists for Santa while drinking our hot cocoa. Our ancestors enjoyed similar experiences. This 1948 image from the Newberry CB&Q collection shows the Rader family studying the catalog in their farm home in Knoxville, Illinois.
In 1936, a popular gift featured in the Sears Christmas Book was the 11 1/2 inch Shirley Temple doll, selling for $2.19. Perhaps a toy you, your mother or grandmother would have asked for.
Or perhaps the boys in the family were science fiction fans. The 1934 Christmas Book offered the Buck Rogers 25th Century Rocket ship, complete with flint to generate sparks, for 94 cents.
So, if your shopping is done, take yourself back in time and enjoy browsing these catalogs. Imagine what your ancestors may have put on their lists and the fun they had selecting gifts for others. The Newberry has the following items available for you to peruse:
- Sears catalogs from 1892-1993 (Call no. microfilm H 7157 .8). These are also available in the "Historic Catalogs of Sears, Roebuck and Co., 1896-1993" collection at Ancestry.com.
- Montgomery Ward catalogs from 1934-1982 (Call no. microfilm 614) and specialty catalogs for everything from apparel to typewriters published between 1890 and 1982 (Call no. microfilm 615).

Gregor rings... Heatley stays in Ottawa
June 30 2009 08:47PM
10:14pm MDT update: Heatley will not waive his no-trade clause. He stays in Ottawa, and won't come here.
Earlier tonight: Just got off the phone with Gregor:
"The Oilers have traded Dustin Penner, Ladislav Smid and Andrew Cogliano for Dany Heatley. This will add $2.1 million to the Oilers' payroll."
He also mentioned that Hossa talks with LA have broken off.
Finally, the handsome devil teased me with this one: the Oil aren't done dealing yet.
Propeller wrote:
@ Cam: Yeah, I agree with you there. Getting worried that the NMC won't be waived…
I am listening to the Team and all reports are that he has said OK to the trade, so I think I will wake up happy tomorrow.

I won't know whether to laugh at the absolute hilarity at the the situation, or weep uncontrollably if he refused to be traded.
Confirmation 100% did not waive! OMG!
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Twolinepass will never let this go.
gregor confirmed wtf
June 30 2009, 10:14PM
OK Edmonton, now who do you hate more?
Pronger or Heatley?
June 30 2009, 10:14PM
"...and so Mr. Hemsky. How do you feel now about this latest development?"
June 30 2009, 10:16PM
What is going on? Only in edmonton this could happen
Official. Dan Tencer, TSN, and more saying he did not waive. Great.
June 30 2009, 10:18PM
What a rat bastard! Thought Edmonton was supposed to be on his magic list.
Hope Murray has the balls/spite to make him ride the bus in the AHL for the next 5 years, though we all know the little bitch will end up going to New York for less than what we offered.
June 30 2009, 10:19PM
So that is 3 years in a row then right? Nylander, Hossa, and now Heatley. You would think people would be all over have Batman as the owner of the team you play for. At least our donair shops can breathe a sigh of relief.
Can't keep good players, can't get ufa's, can't get players who hate their own team and want to leave. I think I need to find a new hobby. Cheering for this squad is a dead end road. *heads hangs low*
Hey Gregor,
Great reporting! When does Heatley's flight arrive in Edmonton? LOL!
I like how the guys on Team 1260 act like the NHL has 'delayed' the transaction when TSN and DAN TANCER have reported that the deal is dead. Good job as usual guys!
What's with all the legal mumbo-jumbo they're talkin? If he said no, there is no deal. Simple as that. No legal reprucussions. WTF?

Hold me.

This organization has taken more shots to the junk than Daniel Craig in "Casino Royale". Back to the Presidential Liquor Cabinet...
Yeah? Well we didn't really want you anyway.
I can finally put to rest those that say I dont have voodoo powers, I put my hex on heatley as I did nylander! oh well, id like to say it was a fun ride but that would be a lie, at least the beer was cheep happy canada day!

what a bi!tch!
June 30 2009, 10:30PM
Hockey is dead to me now...
*hangs head, wonders what to do from October to June from now on*
Unless... is there hope? Could there be? McKenzie clarifies on TSN.ca shortly.
Why the hell was Murray negotiating with us if he didn't have Heatley's verbal confirmation that he would go to Edmonton? We can't do that diligence...we can't talk to Heatley.
What a friggin joke...how great to Penner/Cogs/Smid feel about putting in the gym time to be ready to suit up for the Oil next season!
Classless. Absoluteley classless. I hope Murray doesn't try and trade him anymore. Let him sit at home for the next year. Asks for a trade and then nixes the only offer they get.
Oh crap now what three pissed off players that know you wanted them traded look at the bright side though maybe penner will play pissed off this year
June 30 2009, 10:33PM
Comrie: "What's up Heater?"
Heatley: "Looks like they're moving me after all."
Comrie: "Coolio. Where you going?"
Heatley: "Looks like I'm off to Edmonton."
Comrie: "Dude, ...."
June 30 2009, 10:33PM
Looks like i got here just in time to see my hopes for getting a 50 goal scorer dashed.
Now what do the Oilers say to Cogs, Penner, and Smid? Uh...oops..i still love you baby, i was thinkin about you the whole time?
June 30 2009, 10:33PM
It's too bad, really, but let's not blame Tambellini here. He did what he should have done - made a reasonable offer to acquire a 50-goal scorer from a team in a tight spot.
This is very ugly, but it isn't ugly because of Tambellini.
Poor Ecklund.... his head must be spinning.... he has so many websites to steal off... it's all coming so fast!
@ Gord
Unhappy oilers = bad players = bad team = great draft pick = glass 1/4 full.
*weeps into beer* (only thing that is 1/2 full)
Guess this means we won't be signing anyone significant tomorrow either. Even with the rebuilding efforts with the new coach and all, this just completely poisoned any shred of good image that may have been gained.
June 30 2009, 10:35PM
@ Archaeologuy: but at least Cogs didnt get traded ;)
Heatley bonus doesn't kick in til tomorrow @ midnight eastern, so there is 23.5 hours to get a deal done. Looks like Oil are out though.
June 30 2009, 10:36PM
And by the same token, let's not blame Murray either. He has to play hardball with Heatley, and I firmly believe he's prepared to make Heatley honour his contract with Ottawa if he doesn't get the deal he wants.
Good for him.
This feels worse than the time Shari Proskurniak kicked me in the balls in Grade 4.
Gord wrote:
Why the hell was Murray negotiating with us if he didn't have Heatley's verbal confirmation that he would go to Edmonton? We can't do that diligence…we can't talk to Heatley.
I take solace in the fact that he's not that good a hockey player.
June 30 2009, 10:39PM
Sportsnet has gone from reporting the deal on, then off and now on hold? WTF!
wow what a let down, supposedly the timeframe on the bonus is actually extended for 24 hrs more (TSN) who know maybe that means something

Oilers' prospect Kristians Pelss confirmed dead
Andrey Osadchenko
June 15 2013 05:47PM
Latvian news agencies have confirmed the death of Oilers' prospect Kristians Pelss.
This Friday night a body was recovered near Vantovy Bridge in Riga, Latvia next to Kipsala beach. The body has been identified as Kristians Pelss by his family members.
"We have identified the body. Family members confirmed it's Kristians Pelss. We extend our sincere condolences to his family," stated Latvian police.
Earlier this week Latvian police released news about an unidentified young man who either deliberately jumped or fell off Kamenny Bridge in Riga into Daugava river. The police had found the man's clothes on the bridge. Witnesses suggested the man was Kristians Pelss, whose family was notified immediately.
He was reported missing this Monday after he landed in his home country. Despite the following picture appearing on Pelss' Facebook profile, reports underlined his cell-phone was switched off ever since he left North America.
Edmonton Oilers already reacted to the news with the following statement.
"This is the news we feared. Kristians was an outstanding man and we feel terrible he has left us at such a young age," said Oilers General Manager Craig MacTavish. "I can't imagine how painful this situation is for the Pelss family. On behalf of everyone working at the Oilers, Oil Kings and our affiliate teams, as well as all of our fans, I offer our most sincere and deepest condolences to his family and friends. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with them as they work through this incredibly difficult time."
Pelss was considered as one of the brightest young stars of Latvian hockey. He represented his country twice at the U18 World Championship and as many times at the World Juniors, captaining the team in 2012 in Calgary and Edmonton. He also appeared at the 2012 Memorial Cup as WHL champion with the Oil Kings. He split this season between the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL and Oklahoma Oil Barons of the AHL.
"I have so many things to say but what really needs to be said is this. Not only we've lost a great hockey player but we've also lost a great guy and a great friend. We lost our brother. Our hockey family lost a brother. However, he will always live in our hearts. Rest in peace, brother. Your smile will never be forgotten," said Deniss Baskatovs, friend and former teammate of Pelss'.
Einars Pelss, Kristians' father, is willing to build a monument in his son's honor in his hometown of Preili (approximate population – 6,000 people). He is currently accepting donations.
The funeral date has not been set up just yet but it looks like it will take place this upcoming Wednesday.
Our worst fears have been realized, my condolences to the entire Pelss family.
Condolences to his family and his friends.
June 15 2013, 08:23PM
"For in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil?" Indeed. I hope the clouds are frozen over and he is skating with legends. RIP young dude. RIP.
Покойся с миром, чувак. Ты крутым был, крутым и останешься.
May his soul find happiness among his loved ones who fell before him. Creator felt it was his time, shame it was so young though. R.I.P
Kristians, it was an honour to have known you. Your presence in our home when you visited with your best friend Martin Gernat or at Bistro Praha to share dinner with us was always such a joy and pleasure. We will miss the fine young man and hockey player we came to admire so much. God speed Kristians and rest in peace. You will always be in our hearts and in our thoughts with fond memories. We too will miss your smile and those mischievous sparkling eyes. Linda Scoular and Petr Sipek
Deepest sympathies from an Oiler fan here in the UK, not to mention hockey fans everywhere. Kristians was a treasured Oiler, Baron, Thunder and Oil King and will never be forgotten.
I agree with Rex that a memorial in Kristians' name would be fitting. I always considered him an underrated prospect and definitely one to watch, and it would be great if the Oilers held a moments' silence at the first home game of next season too.
RIP Kristians. Hopefully the Oilers have a representative there to show his family and community how much Oil Country cared about him. :-(
R.I.P Kristians. Very sad a young life is gone!
RIP Kristians. My deepest condolences to the Pelss family. Kristians, you will always be remembered.
That photo is a comfort, from the reports I thought maybe he went missing as soon as he landed in Latvia. I doubt it helps at the moment but at least his family saw him.
It's tough to think we probably won't ever have answers about why this happened. Rest in peace, Kristians, you will be remembered.
I hope that the Pelss family and their friends can one day read all the sympthay emails and messages that appear on this site so as to know of the many who gave condolences and supporting thoughts.
I wish to send my own condolences to the family through here and may they find some solace and peace from this tragedy.
May God put Kristian onto his heavenly hockey team as since that was his joy and love to do in this life which that he only briefly had. R.I.P
John 3/16. Psalms 22/23/24.Not enough words in the Bible to equal the grief felt right now by the Pelss family. Thank you for your sharing son with all the great hockey fans here and everywhere he went to play. The game of hockey gives us so much and these are the times when life becomes so much more important.
I'd proposed this in another thread on the topic of Pelss' passing but I'll reiterate it here: I'd love to see the Oilers/Katz cooperate with the Hockey Canada equivalent in Latvia to establish some sort of award or funding model in Pelss' name to help junior players develop.
Maybe its just me, but I think that would be a nice way to honour the memory of this young man and what he meant to his family, friends and the country.
June 15 2013, 09:27PM
bro Rip. very sad
June 15 2013, 10:00PM
Godspeed young man. R.I.P
June 15 2013, 11:58PM
This is very, very sad. Hard to stomach imagining what his family is going through.
Here is Einars Pelss,Kris dad. If sombody want to help with mamory place, LV46UNLA0026007702057 Einars Pelss, 190660-12160 .
June 16 2013, 07:01AM
So hard for us to understand.
So long, mate.
June 16 2013, 09:21AM
Saddest news I've heard in a long time. Pelss was a real soldier from what I understand. Always happy having the role the team would give him. He could have probably made more money in the KHL, but he decided to come to America and work his ass off to make it to the NHL. I think there wasn't an Oilers fan who wasn't rooting for him to make it.
I hope the Oilers will make some kind of gesture to remember him. A minute of silence in the first home game maybe? How about using the 7th round draft choice on another latvian.
Anyway my toughts are with his family.

A 2013 Canucks Season Preview Mailbag
Jeff Angus
January 10 2013 01:11PM
I opened up the Twitter mailbag yesterday and received a wide range of questions from Canucks fans. Turns out fans really, really want to know where Roberto Luongo is going to end up.
In addition to weighing in on the elephant in the room, I share my thoughts on how I see the second line looking, if the team can live up to Stanley Cup expectations, and more.
@CanadianGunner: What do you think the Canucks will realistically get in exchange for Luongo? When will he move?
I wrote my first (and hopefully only) Luongo trade post yesterday, and in it I predicted a return of Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri from Toronto. Canucks fans may not be thrilled with that return (and based on the replies I received, some weren't), but don't forget that the cap space gained from moving Luongo should also be considered a positive asset. Kadri is an intriguing player who fits what the Canucks are looking for in a young forward – he is gritty, skilled, and smart. And he is a playmaker, which, on paper at least, makes him a logical candidate to skate with Booth and Kesler.
I'd imagine the trade occurs in short order after the CBA is officially ratified. Although an interesting wrinkle emerged on Wednesday evening – do the Philadelphia Flyers have interest in Luongo? According to TSN's James Duthie (by way of former Canuck and now TVA Sports analyst Enrico Ciccone) they do. Would that mean that the Flyers plan to buy out Ilya Bryzgalov? I would imagine so.
@Brido_MT: I have a bad feeling this season isn't going to be what is expected by management and fans. What are your thoughts?
Well, I don't know exactly what management thinks. Fans are entering the season with a "Cup or bust" mentality, and I don't blame them. The Canucks are a talented team at all three positions, they have experience in big games, and they will be playing a lot of games against the weakest division in hockey in 2013. So many factors go into postseason success (namely health and goaltending), but Vancouver should be considered a cup favourite once again.
@eperry04: What do you think the second and third lines look like?
I imagine the lines are going to look quite different after the Luongo trade goes through. My best guess for the lines if Luongo starts in Vancouver, though:
Raymond-Lapierre-Kassian (with Hansen on the top unit)
The ideal units:
Booth-Kesler-Kadri (or another player acquired)
Raymond could be trade bait, but I like his chances at a bounce back season this year (if for no other reason than things can't get any worse than they were last year). I also think he can reform his game to play more of a checking role if he doesn't find a way to regain his scoring touch. His value is essentially nil at this point, and Gillis has proven he is a value GM – he won't sell an asset like Raymond at his lowest value.
@BADGERxxxFACE: Do you think the Canucks will get a legitimate enforcer?
No. There was some rumoured interest in George Parros last summer, but I don't think the Canucks need an enforcer. Kassian/Weise/Bieksa/Lapierre provide plenty of toughness.
@RyanLapshinoff: Not having Kesler to start is huge but beyond that, what are the biggest holes in the Canucks moving forward?
To start, a top-four, right-side defenseman is a necessity, unless Jason Garrison can make the transition there from the left (I suspect he can – the club did invest a lot of money in him last summer, and they wouldn't have done that without having confidence in his ability to play both sides on the back end).
And, of course, finding a quality backup goaltender if Luongo is traded. Eddie Lack probably isn't NHL ready at this point in time, but there isn't much available on the UFA market. Another need is finding a second line playmaker – with shoot-first players like Kesler and Booth, it would help to have a player on that line that can make plays. Kassian may be that player one day, but I'm not sure he is ready yet either. Maybe Andrew Ebbett?
@natevk: Who could the Canucks realistically get back from the Oilers bank of young prospects?
I believe this is in regards to a potential Luongo-to-Edmonton trade. One name that immediately jumps out is Magus Paajarvi, who has become lost in the shuffle with all of Edmonton's other young talent. The Canucks would obviously love to add one of the blue-chippers, but the odds of that happening are next to nonexistent.
If you play fantasy hockey at all, I have a quick shameless plug for you to read.
I helped contribute to the 2013 DobberHockey Fantasy Guide. The Guide has been completely updated with all of the news and notes that came in during the lockout (in fact, we have been working around the clock on it since an agreement was reached this past Sunday). This is also the first year we included advanced statistics in some of our analysis, too.
All projections are based on a 48 game schedule. Injuries need to be considered, prospect performance in the AHL, older players playing better in a shortened year (or worse), etc. Dobber has spent the days leading up to ratification going through each player with a fine-tooth comb. All projections, sleeper notes, rookie charts, injuries will be based on the shortened season and the latest information. Almost every single page of the Guide that was released on August 1st has been changed.
Pick the 2013 DobberHockey Fantasy Guide up here.

So the ideal line combos have Higgins and Kassian on the 4th line?
January 11 2013, 02:24AM
Lets face it the Canucks are not going to get very much back for Luongo given that he holds the final say are he goes.
Frankly, if Vancouver can indeed Kadri, Bozak and a draft pick, I think that's a pretty decent return. It's better than what they would get from Florida as they already have decent goaltending and made the playoffs last year. The bottom line is if was Dale Tallon I certainly wouldn't trade any significant assets given that they would doing Vancouver a favour by taking Luongo's contract on. If anything I would be asking for some young talent from Vancouver in return in addition to taking Luongo on.
The reality is that trading Luongo and keeping Schneider does not help the Canucks improve this year. In fact, it is a likely to prove a big step backwards. Gillis should consider trading Schneider instead as he would likely yield a better return (e.g. top six forward with some grit), which could help the Canucks continue to be a solid cup contender this and next year. Because lets face it, once the twins begin to fade in the next couple years, the Canucks could quickly turn into bottom dwellers.

Woodmark Hotel Culinary Team on the Move in Seattle
Our culinary team at the Woodmark Hotel has been on the move, participating in two major chef-centric events this month.
The Woodmark's Executive Chef Brian Cooper treated hundreds of hungry foodies to his Scallops wrapped in Spanish chorizo with a saffron corn jus at last week's Kirkland Uncorked. This festival is a regional showcase of art, food and wine on the picturesque shores of Lake Washington in Kirkland, Washington taking place every July. Benefiting the Hope Heart Institute, Kirkland Uncorked features artist showrooms, a boat show, and dog modeling contest in the Promenade and a Tasting Garden with grilling demonstrations, wine tasting and live music.
Meanwhile, bin on the lake's Chef de Cuisine R. Paul Hyman was cooking up lamb at Burning Beast. Known in the northwest as "the world's best feast in a field" this unique event features more than a dozen of Seattle's finest chefs preparing sustainably raised meats and fish using humankind's most basic tool – fire.
Those that want a more conventional Seattle dining experience can find Chef Hyman's fish focused menu at bin on the lake, and Chef Cooper's fresh familiar favorites at the Beach Café, next to the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, on the shores of Lake Washington.

Never seen Amy's Place before, but this goes under the "poetry" part of the menu.
Billy Collins
Evenin' Ladies.
Can't believe how fast these past three months have passed. On the bright side, Summer's a comin'.
Hi JustAmy,
My flowers are blooming this year, after I dug up the dirt and put in better dirt.
I'm very happy about it, and this seems a good thread to share that on.
Forgive me if I am too silly.
But what I've been striving for is:
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Breathe promise of merry sunshine
As we merrily dance and we sing
Tra la
We welcome the hope that they bring
Tra la
Of a summer of roses and wine
Of a summer of roses and wine
And that's what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring.
Tra la la la la, etc!
Welcome to Amy's Place, Feline_AIDS. Thank you for sharing the link to Billie Collins poetry.
Hope you come back again soon and often.
Have a super spring.
Good evening, DD. Seems that we had no winter ... went from Autumn to Spring in 30 days.
Summer will be here before we know it. Great to see you here. Continuing prayers for you.
Welcome to Amy's Place, Jocon307.
I enjoyed your fun spring flowers poem. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have an awesome spring.
I hope to see you here again soon and often.
I'm still up so I am going to post Sunday's opening now..
As soon as the mod wakes up this will be deleted..I hope!
I left out width on a table.
That is such a lovely April opening, ladies! Thank you. How did I know before I clicked that I would be hearing "April Showers"? LOL! Mel Torme was so young back then!
Where do the months go??
People hate change, or so I hear. But the change we generally resist is the kind that we think will make our situation worse rather than better. We eagerly change jobs when it means higher pay and more influence. We happily move to a bigger house in a better neighborhood. So its not change in general that we hate; its change that involves losssometimes physical; other times emotional or psychological.
Change is both inevitable and necessary. If everything stays the same, no one is growing. But we have a Shepherd who guides us through change and leads us to a better place. Getting there may be difficult, as it was for the Israelites in reaching the Promised Land. They grumbled when their situation got worse rather than better (Ex. 15:24; Num. 14:2). But we have the example of Jesus. In less than a week, He went from being the leader of many to being abandoned by all. Between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, the Good Shepherd became the Passover Lamb. Because Christ willingly went through suffering, God elevated Him to the highest place (John 10:11; Phil. 2:8-9).
Not all change is pleasant, but when were being led to a better place by Someone who loves us, we dont need to fear it.
Read: John 10:7-18
watching kittens is a fascinating past time. They make me tired with all that they have to accomplish! No wonder they need so many naps and nomz! :)
Thanks for this cutie, Cat Man!
The days, weeks and months just seem to fly by, Dave. Its so wonderful that you have the terrible weeks behind you and that you are doing so well. PTL!!
And we're thankful and glad that you're posting again!
Prayers of Praise continue!
Bad Penny hasn't made an appearance at Amy's Place for ages. Today is the perfect day to bring Penny back! Be wary, April Fools are lurking where you least expect them!
Darling Pledge graphic, Amy!
Gorgeous tulips, Meg.
Hope the hives are a little better today!
I think I've got the bug. I'm so sick to my stomach I feel
terrible. It will pass I hope.
Hi Lori and Bad Penny! Great to see you all today! Happy April Fool's Day!
And a blessed Palm Sunday to you, MEG!
Its not good to be sick on your birthday, is it?
Getting ready to hit the pink bottle right away!
Thank you for your sweet commiseration with me..I wouldn't answer for fear we'd all end up back in March..LOL My worst bout lasted 6 weeks...new fabric softener did it.
Oh, no! It is definitely not good to be sick on your birthday. What kind of cruel joke is THAT?? Hope you feel better soon, friend.
I love it when that happens! :-)
Perfect! And that's no April Fools' joke.
How cute, thanks, Mama_Bear! I'd better go play an April Fool's Joke on someone, tell them I won the lottery or something :0)
Thank you for the beautiful tulips today, Meg. I am no better. Don't want anything to eat. I just now boiled an egg and ate about half of it. Greg said to make a piece of toast and trim off the crusts and spread a thin layer of jelly on it. He said if it came back up, it wouldn't be as bad as something else.
I told him I was working on getting better. Of course they are cooking for me tonight and I told him I might not be able to come but I would let him know. He understands of course and it makes me sad!
I love to post on Palm Sunday but I can't today. I always enjoy what everyone else posts!!
I hope I feel good enough to get my kitchen straightened up from last night. I made 2 quarts of pickled beets and it was a huge job with a huge mess. I was going to make pickled eggs today but can't do that for certain.
Hope your hives start improving SOON!
Thank you very much, oldteen — to you as well.

Marcelo Bosch scored twice as Biarritz cruised to a four-try 32-6 Heineken Cup victory over Zebre in Parma on Saturday.
Marcelo Bosch scored twice as Biarritz cruised to a 32-6 Heineken Cup victory over Zebre in Parma on Saturday and notched up what could yet be a vital bonus point.
Biarritz were heavy favourites against the new Italian outfit that has yet to win a game in 17 attempts this season and the last thing the hosts needed was to be reduced to 14 men inside the opening five minutes.
That is exactly what happened though as full-back Paolo Buso was sent to the sin bin for cynically denying the visitors a chance to run in the first try of the match in the left-hand corner.
Dimitri Yachvili got the scoreboard ticking with the resultant penalty and the opening try then materialised straight from the kick-off as Benoit Baby launched an incisive counter attack from inside his own 22 and finished the move by diving over in the left-hand corner. Baby spotted a gap in the Zebre defensive line and burst past a couple of forwards out wide before feeding Damien Traille and Aled Brew and following the ball to apply the finishing touch himself.
Luciano Orquera did kick two penalties to one more from Yachvili to keep the home side in the game at the half-hour mark but Biarritz went into the break with a 20-6 lead after Baby made another great break and offloaded for Bosch to score.
Zebre managed to frustrate their illustrious opponents for large portions of the second half as the Frenchmen searched for the bonus point but Baby and Bosch were at it again just before the hour mark, exploiting the space out wide, and the latter crossed for his second and his side's third try of the game.
And, whilst Biarritz were made to wait until five minutes from time to secure that all-important bonus point, there was an inevitability about it as the pressure mounted on the hosts.
Replacement Seremaia Burotu powered onto a deft short pass from former England full-back Iain Balshaw to score the crucial try as the French side keep alive their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages.

2016 Envision
SHANGHAI – General Motors and its joint ventures had record sales during the first half and June in China.
GM's sales in China in the first six months of 2014 increased 10.5 percent from last year's previous record for the period to 1,731,282 units. GM's domestic sales in June rose 9.1 percent to 257,798 units.
"GM has experienced growth in demand for our products across China this year, especially at the higher end of our lineup and in the SUV/MPV segment," said Matt Tsien, GM Executive Vice President and President of GM China. "We anticipate sales remaining strong through the end of 2014, as more people – particularly outside China's major cities – become first-time vehicle buyers."
Record First Half Sales
During the first half of 2014, Shanghai GM's sales in China were up 10.3 percent on an annual basis to 819,667 units and SAIC-GM-Wuling's sales in China increased 11.5 percent to 883,724 units. Both were records for the period. FAW-GM's sales in China were down 7.2 percent to 27,579 units.
Buick sales in the domestic market increased 12.2 percent from the first half of 2013 to 450,421 units, led by record demand for the original Excelle family, Excelle XT and GT, Regal and Encore. Chevrolet sales in China rose 4.2 percent to 335,486 units due in large part to record sales of the Cruze and Malibu and the ongoing popularity of the Sail and Captiva. Domestic sales of the Cadillac brand jumped 71.7 percent to 33,760 units, with record demand for the SRX and XTS, and a strong start of sales for the ATS. All three brands had all-time highs for the first half.
Wuling sales in China increased 13.2 percent on an annual basis to a record 845,844 units. It was driven by record demand for the Hong Guang family – which has had sales of at least 50,000 units every month in 2014 – and the ongoing popularity of the Rong Guang and Sunshine. Sales of the Baojun brand in China totaled 37,880 units during the first half of the year.
Record June Sales
Shanghai GM's domestic sales in June rose 9.3 percent on an annual basis to a record for the month of 133,316 units, while SAIC-GM-Wuling's sales in China were up 10.9 percent to a June record 122,359 units. Sales in China by FAW-GM totaled 2,123 units.
Buick's domestic sales rose 13.8 percent on an annual basis to an all-time June high of 71,062 units, led by the original Excelle family, which had sales of 22,931 units, and the Excelle XT and GT, which had sales of 18,394 units. In addition, the Regal and Encore had record sales for the month of 9,563 units and 7,857 units respectively. Chevrolet sales in China were up 1.5 percent to a new June high of 56,060 units, led by Cruze sales of 20,599 units and Sail sales of 16,535 units. Cadillac sales also set a June record, growing 45.9 percent to 6,194 units, as sales of the XTS totaled 2,732 units and sales of the SRX reached 2,479 units.
Wuling sales in China came in at a June record 118,091 units, an increase of 13.4 percent from the previous June. Sales of the Hong Guang family jumped 76.2 percent to 51,198 units. Demand for the Baojun brand totaled 4,268 units.
General Motors traces its roots back to 1908. GM has 11 joint ventures, two wholly owned foreign enterprises and more than 58,000 employees in China. GM and its joint ventures offer the broadest lineup of vehicles and brands among automakers in China. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are sold under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. In 2014, GM sold more than 3.5 million vehicles in China. More information on General Motors in China can be found at GM Media Online.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Scott Bartlett and Will Spitzenberg of Boss Engineering were at the recent Cleveland Town Council meeting to review the plans for the proposed fire station project. Bartlett presented several plans and cost estimates for the council to review. These plans include a new fire station with city hall and meeting rooms included in the building.
"We must make a decision tonight as the town is scheduled for the funding request with the Permanent Community Impact Board on April 2," said Bartlett. There were four plans with the cost estimates for the council to consider. The new plans were drawn up following the recent public hearing held to discuss the project. Bartlett and Spitzenberg have incorporated the comments and suggestions made by residents at that hearing.
Plans A and B, were basically the same floor plan with the difference being the cost to complete the upstairs room. Plans C and D were drawings of the same building on two smaller scales. Other options to reduce the cost of the building were discussed besides reducing the size of the building, including the option not to finish the upstairs and making the council meeting room and office smaller.
Following a review of all options, the council suggested making additional changes and requested Bartlett and Spitzenberg incorporate those changes before the meeting with the PCIB. Cost estimates ranged from $965,000 to $1.4 million.
In other business conducted by the Cleveland Town Council, they decided to do the clean-up contest again this season. The rules will be the same as last summer and the prize money will also be the same. Mayor Chris Parkins said, "The contest last year was a very good idea. We had several residents enter. Our only concern was the citizens who undertook big clean-up projects and did not enter. We are encouraging all residents to enter this year. The most important requirement is to take a before photo and an after photo for the judges." The contest will run from April 16-Sept. 3 and residents may sign up at town hall.
A resident was at the council meeting with a request to purchase two small parcels of town property. These lots adjoin his property and he wishes to expand his lot size. Mayor Parkins informed the resident of the steps which need to be taken with this request. "I will talk to all the other parties involved and will get back to you as soon as possible," said Mayor Parkins.
Sgt. Tom Harrison of the Emery County Sheriff's Office presented a copy of the Emery County Emergency Management plan to the council members. He requested they review the plan and consider joining with Emery County in this plan. Harrison stated the local emergency planning commission is now in the process of updating the emergency plan. Cleveland Town will need to write a letter of request to be included.
Councilman Jason Merrell informed the council of a Dr. John McBride from Brigham Young University is coming to Cleveland to do some work in the town's cemetery. He is bringing students and equipment to verify where all the plots are. "Dr. McBride has ground imaging radar and can locate the things under the surface. He is bringing students for them to get experience operating the equipment. He and the students are donating their time to do this project and we will be able to know the exact location of all the old graves," said Merrell.
The next meeting of the Cleveland Town Council will be April 16 at 7 p.m. in town hall.

Through the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) provides low-income, uninsured, and underserved women access to timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services.
To improve access to screening, Congress passed the Breast and Cervical Cancer Mortality Prevention Act of 1990, which guided CDC in creating the NBCCEDP. Currently, the NBCCEDP funds all 50 states, the District of Columbia, five U.S. territories, and 12 American Indian/Alaska Native tribes or tribal organizations to provide screening services for breast and cervical cancer. The program helps low-income, uninsured, and underinsured women gain access to breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services. These services include:
In 2000, Congress passed the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act, which gives states the option to offer women in the NBCCEDP access to treatment through Medicaid. To date, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have approved this Medicaid option. In 2001, with passage of the Native American Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Technical Amendment Act, Congress explained that this option also applies to American Indians/Alaska Natives who are eligible for health services provided by the Indian Health Service or by a tribal organization.
For more details, including information on eligibility, visit the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) Cancer Information Service (CIS) is a federally funded program that was established in 1975 as an essential part of NCI's cancer education and information efforts. For over 35 years, NCI's CIS has been providing scientifically based, unbiased information to patients, their families and friends, physicians and other health professionals, and the general public about all aspects of cancer including:
NCI's CIS information specialists are trained to answer cancer related questions by telephone (800-4-CANCER), LiveHelp instant messaging, and email. In addition to answering questions about cancer and clinical trials, the NCI's CIS also operates the NCI's Smoking Quitline (877-44U-QUIT) which provides free cessation information and support to smokers who wish to quit. There is no charge or fee for this service. Service is provided in English and Spanish. NCI's CIS can also answer calls made through a telecommunications relay service (TRS) provider by people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Kaskaskia River State Fish & Wildlife Area is one of the largest
state-owned and managed sites in Illinois. Located 35 miles southeast of
St. Louis, Missouri, the area comprises more than 20,000 acres and extends
along the Kaskaskia River from Fayetteville to the Mississippi River in
St. Clair, Monroe and Randolph counties. The Illinois Department of Transportation
owns the land along the river and leases most of the land to the Department
of Natural Resources to manage for fish, wildlife and other recreational
activities. A few areas are managed by the Kaskaskia River
Port District for industrial use and are not available for public use.
Lake, a 2,018-acre reservoir built by Illinois Power Company, is contained
within Kaskaskia River SFWA. This lake serves as a source of cooling water
a nearby electric generating station. Baldwin Lake is open to the public
for fishing and is a major part of the areas waterfowl refuge.
Southwestern Illinois, which includes Kaskaskia River SFWA,
has traditionally been rich in fish and wildlife resources and was occupied by both American Indians and early settlers to the state.
The Kaskaskia River remained essentially unchanged until the late 1960s
when it was modified by channelization to promote commercial development
and navigation. This led to eventual state ownership of the site and increased
the public use of the area.
Kaskaskia River SFWA possesses a wide variety of terrestrial
and aquatic habitats. Water acres include not only the Kaskaskia River
with its associated side channel and backwater areas (2,200 acres), but
also Baldwin Lake (2,018 acres) and Peabody-River King State Fish and
Wildlife Area (2,200 acres).
A land area of about 16,000 acres includes
an extensive mixed bottomland forest comprised of pecan, soft maple, bur
oak, pin oak, shellbark hickory and willow. Many cultivated and fallow
fields, native grass patches, brushy areas and other "open"
areas are interspersed with the stands of mature bottomland timber. Due
to this great diversity of habitats, good wildlife populations exist
on the site.
Fishing is the most popular activity on the Kaskaskia River.
The area contains 36 miles of channelized river, plus additional oxbows,
creeks and river bottom lakes for the anglers to enjoy.
Fishing for channel and flathead
catfish is especially popular and offers both day and night
angling opportunities. Other species include largemouth bass, crappie,
bluegill, carp and freshwater drum. All exist in good numbers and provide
excellent fishing throughout the year. Fishing tournaments must be
scheduled through the site office.
Concrete launch ramps are provided on the Kaskaskia River
at Fayetteville, New Athens, on Highway 154 west of Baldwin, and at Evansville.
"No-wake" zones exist near the ramps, industrial sites and at
all of the oxbows.
Boaters must operate their watercraft accordingly in these areas.
Weekends and holidays throughout the summer
receive the most boat usage and boaters are urged to be extra safety conscious
during this time. Boaters also should be aware of barge traffic on the
river and at the lock and dam site at the mouth of the river.
Approximately 14,000 acres are available
for hunting. Due to the amount of wooded acreage at Kaskaskia River SFWA, forest game
species, such as squirrels and white-tailed deer, are very common and offer
sportsmen many hours of hunting enjoyment. Extensive wetland areas
associated with the river provide ample opportunities for waterfowl hunting.
In addition, a public waterfowl hunting area, Doza Creek Waterfowl Management
Area, exists in the area. Upland game, such as rabbits and quail, can be
found in the open areas adjacent to the wooded portions of the site. Dove
hunting is provided in several sunflower fields.
Hunter check stations are maintained in the area and access
is primarily from the boat ramps and parking lots. A hunter fact
sheet is available for additional information. Hunter
Fact Sheet
A 12-mile trail system exists on the site and is used by hunters, hikers,
bird watchers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Trails are closed
to vehicular traffic. Contact the site office for a trail brochure.
To reach the Site Headquarters from the
north one would access State Hwy. 13 and travel toward the village of
New Athens. While on Hwy. 13 look for the "Baldwin Lake" Highway sign
and turn south. Travel this blacktop road for 5 miles to the intersection
of Risdon School Road and turn west (right). Travel one mile to the park
entrance gate. Turn left at the gate and follow the black top road to
the site office sign. The site office is 1/4 mile south of this sign.

Article from Tcat Houser editor-in-chief of TRCBNews.com that recently ignited some fire with 2 articles:
OpenOffice versus LibreOffice versus The World and The Biggest Failure in Open Source Is…
Some of the Linux faithful will look at this and say: "There he goes again, bashing open-source. He's just a Microsoft shill." They will use the fact I am an MCSE as 'proof' of their opinion.
Version 4.0 of LOO still suffers from the issue of cross file compatibility to Microsoft Office. However, the good news is the pain is less than ever before and we now get the ability to open Visio and Publisher files! Personally, I have not used either of these Microsoft programs in years so I cannot attest to how well they are handled.
Beyond my own daily use of LOO I have read in depth every review I could find on the Internet. My honest summary is they are far more negative than my feelings. Yes I must agree with everyone else that the most lacking area is complex documents not playing nice with MS Office. The second most cited shortcoming is the relatively confusing menus. I cannot really disagree there either. And there is always two sides to the coin. LOO's brightside is shinier than ever. Less noticed is how much this version has pulled away to lead over Apache Open Office (AOO) formally known as Open Office Organization (OOO).
More about that later.

Martin Castrogiovanni and Marcos Ayerza return to the Tigers line-up for Saturday's fixture against Bath at Welford Road.
Martin Castrogiovanni and Marcos Ayerza return to the Leicester line-up for Saturday's Aviva Premiership match against Bath at Welford Road.
Both props have been on international duty but they return to Tigers colours for the Round 10 fixture against old rivals Bath.
Thomas Waldrom and Anthony Allen, who are both members of the England Elite Player Squad, are also included in Saturday's starting team.
Tigers are without the five players in the England squad and the injured Toby Flood, Logovi'i Mulipola, Steve Mafi, Wessel Jooste and Vereniki Goneva. Miles Benjamin and Tom Croft are working their way back from long-term injury. Boris Stankovich is suspended.
Meanwhile, Bath's internationals Horacio Agulla, Paul James and Francois Louw will be back in action for the West Country side on their away trip.
Agulla, who returns from playing for Argentina, will be making his first start in Bath colours against his old teammates, and he knows that a tough challenge lies ahead.
"It will be a bit strange for me going into the other changing room at Welford Road, but it will be nice to go back. I have a lot of good memories from my time there, but I'm a Bath player now so I want to go up there and hopefully get a good result with the boys.
"We're really looking forward to the game. We had a great win last weekend against Quins, but we know that Leicester are a really good team, so we will need to be 100% on our game."
Agulla takes the outside centre shirt, with Matt Banahan lining up inside him. Having been released by England, Tom Biggs is named on the left wing as Kyle Eastmond continues on the right, and Nick Abendanon starts once again at full-back.
James and Louw, who have been representing Wales and South Africa respectively, both come into the starting line-up.
James props down alongside Lee Mears and Anthony Perenise in the front row, whilst Louw comes in on the blindside flank. Stuart Hooper and Dave Attwood combine once more in the second row, as Guy Mercer and Simon Taylor complete the scrum on the openside and at number 8.
Stephen Donald, who was named Man of the Match in the victory over Harlequins last weekend, renews his half-back partnership with Michael Claassens.
Form: Leicester Tigers have won three of their last five matches in Aviva Premiership Rugby, and have lost just once at Welford Road since last October: 9-22 to Harlequins on 22 September. Bath Rugby's last six fixtures in the Premiership have all been won by the home side on the day. Bath's only away win since February in the Premiership was 24-23 at Worcester on 1 September. Leicester's only defeat in their last nine Premiership encounters with Bath since 2008 was 25-26 at The Rec last October. Bath have won just once before at Welford Road in this competition: 13-12 on 29 November 2003.
The teams:
Leicester: 15 Mathew Tait, 14 Niall Morris, 13 Matt Smith, 12 Anthony Allen, 11 Adam Thompstone, 10 George Ford, 9 Sam Harrison, 8 Thomas Waldrom, 7 Julian Salvi, 6 Brett Deacon, 5 Graham Kitchener, 4 Louis Deacon (c), 3 Martin Castrogiovanni, 2 George Chuter, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
Replacements: 16 Rob Hawkins, 17 Jonny Harris, 18 Fraser Balmain, 19 Ed Slater, 20 Jordan Crane, 21 Micky Young, 22 Dan Bowden, 23 Geordan Murphy.
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Kyle Eastmond, 13 Horacio Agulla, 12 Matt Banahan, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Guy Mercer, 6 Francois Louw, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Stuart Hooper (c), 3 Anthony Perenise, 2 Lee Mears, 1 Paul James.
Replacements: 16 Brett Sharman, 17 Charlie Beech, 18 Kane Palma-Newport, 19 Dominic Day, 20 Josh Ovens, 21 Mark McMillan, 22 Tom Heathcote, 23 Jack Cuthbert.

With every generation of Doctor Who, I am convinced I won't like the new chap as much as the old favourite.
The last Doctor, David Tennant, had just the right mix to make the perfect time traveller so how could his replacement be anywhere near as good?
Well, he is. Matt Smith is surely one of the best Doctors, with his humour and quirky ways adding a special flavour to the Time Lord's adventures that we all have know and loved over the years.
And the Doctor's latest sidekicks - Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) - are also good fun and add life to his existence.
This five-episode set is the first half of series seven and there's a wonderful diversity with every episode.
No series would be complete with a visit from the arch enemies - the Daleks.
But, surprisingly, this time around they need the Doctor's help to avoid annihilation.
For a change of pace we then head off to another spaceship which is home to, of all things, some marauding dinosaurs.
A Tardis passenger, Queen Nefertiti, is helping to solve that problem.
The obvious follow-up to that adventure is the Wild West and a Cyborg gunslinger seeking revenge from the man who created him.
A mysterious invasion of black cubes in England puzzles the Doctor for far too long while the final episode is the most scary of all as The Angels Take Manhattan.
The Doctor may have been around for a long time but age certainly hasn't wearied him.

Sudan eligible for License Exception Consumer Communication Devices
Sudan CCD FAQs
License Requirements
A license is required for the export or reexport to Sudan of nearly all items subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that are specified on the CCL, as described in Section 742.10 of the EAR. A license is not required for the export or reexport to Sudan of items designated as EAR99 unless the transaction involves a prohibited end-use or end-user.
Note: The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains license requirements for certain exports and reexports to Sudan of items subject to the EAR. A license may be required from both the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and OFAC for the same transaction. Please see below for additional information.
License Exceptions
A license exception is an authorization to export or reexport under stated conditions certain items without a license that would otherwise require a license. Sudan is in Country Group E:1 (Supplement No. 1 to Part 740 of the EAR), which limits the number and scope of available license exceptions. To determine the scope and eligibility requirements, you must review the individual license exceptions in Part 740 of the EAR.
Licensing Policy
As described in Section 742.10(b) of the EAR, there is a general policy of denial for exports and reexports to all end-users in Sudan of all items controlled for chemical, biological, missile, and nuclear proliferation reasons, military-related items controlled for national security or regional stability reasons (CCL entries ending in the number "018"), and certain items controlled for national security or anti-terrorism reasons, such as aircraft, cryptologic items, and explosive device detectors. Other non-military-related items that are controlled to Sudan for national security or anti-terrorism reasons are subject to a general policy of denial for military end-users or end-uses, and case-by-case review for non-military end-users or end-uses. Applications for the export or reexport of items in support of humanitarian assistance programs, including United Nations efforts, are generally approved.
Item-specific Guidance
Medicine and Medical Devices
A license is not required to export or reexport to Sudan medicine or medical devices designated as EAR99. However, a license is required to export or reexport to Sudan nearly all items on the CCL, including some medicines, such as certain vaccines and immunotoxins. To aid exporters and reexporters, BIS maintains an illustrative list of EAR99 medical items.
Other U.S. Government Agencies
Please be aware that other U.S. Government agencies administer regulations that could also impact your export or reexport transaction. For example, the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains certain Sudan-related sanctions. Exporters and reexporters are responsible for complying with all applicable regulatory requirements. Please note that a license may be required from both BIS and OFAC for the same transaction involving Sudan.
OFAC may require an official BIS commodity classification for the items you wish to export or reexport to Sudan. Please review BIS's commodity classification guidance for additional information.
For questions specific to Sudan, contact the Foreign Policy Division at 202-482-4252.
The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) were amended to reflect the July 2011 formal recognition of the Republic of South Sudan (South Sudan) as a new country. Please note that the license requirements and licensing policy are different for South Sudan and the Republic of the Sudan (Sudan), as described above. Sudan continues to subject to stringent controls as a consequence of its designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
