Bringing New Markets to Puerto Rico's Producers
In any business venture, the key to reaching a new market is starting with accurate and comprehensive information. For American agricultural producers and suppliers looking at USDA feeding programs as a potential market, having a clear understanding of the rules, regulations and requirements is the best start on the path to success. USDA encourages new businesses to participate by providing information through our websites, publications, and conferences. Recently, we attended Puerto Rico's 2013 Market Expansion Conference to encourage new businesses to consider our programs.
My agency, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), is part of a team of seven USDA agencies that attended this conference to strengthen Puerto Rico's agriculture sector. Read more »

A comprehensive book about Judith Liberman's art was published in 2002. It contains more than 75 illustrations and is quite useful in the classroom for both history and artistic projects.
Judith Weinshall Liberman. HOLOCAUST WALL HANGINGS. South Deerfield, MA. Schoen Books. 2002. LC 2002091156. ISBN 0-97-19027-0-4.
General view.
Holocaust wall hangings. All hangings were produced between 1990 and 1998. Reproduced with permission of the artist.
Gypsies, Too. 67" x 84".
Gypsies, Too. Detail.
Cross. 81" x 81".
Hands. 45" x 117".
Race Defiler. 44" x 21"
One need not be a psychologist to realize that an artist's work has deep psychological roots; the choice of subject matter is rarely a conscious one for an artist. In the final analysis, however, it is not what drives me to create the Holocaust Wall Hangings that is important. What is important is that my Holocaust work, standing on its own independently of its creator, will speak to people's hearts. What is important is that tomorrow, one year from now, ten years from now, a hundred years from now someone somewhere contemplating the work will be moved enough to look into his/her own heart and resolve to be human.
Gypsies Too is a testament to the Roma and Sinti peoples, a group perceived to be furthest on the margins of European society; they have been viewed as social and legal outcasts across Europe. During the Third Reich, as many as a million and a half members of the Roma and Sinti communities were killed on a racial basis. New evidence about this destruction has materialized even in the mid-1990's, especially at archeological excavations at the Concentration Camp Lety in the Czech Republic.

By REP. KAY MCIFF
Though the official session does not convene until Jan. 26, the legislature began holding appropriation committee hearings on Monday of last week. The process will continue next Wednesday. Budgetary matters will be the dominant focus of the 2009 legislature. It now appears that revenue for the 2010 fiscal year will be down about $350 million from where it was for 2008. That is almost 19 percent.
I sit on the higher education appropriation committee. We heard testimony from each of the presidents of the 10 public higher education institutions in our state. Their assigned task was to describe how their respective institutions could deal with the revenue shortfall. They received a 4 percent cut in September and were asked to identify how they could cut an additional 3 percent to get us through this fiscal year plus another 12 percent, for a total of 19 percent, to get us through fiscal year 2010 which starts on the first of July.
I have great respect and empathy for the college and university presidents. They are extremely fine public servants. Their challenge is compounded by the fact that virtually every institution is currently experiencing an increase in student enrollment. That is typical during an economic downturn when jobs are scarce and people are motivated to obtain more education.
Unlike the federal government, Utah cannot deficit spend. Our constitution mandates a balanced budget. Our options are limited to cutting expenditures; adjusting the tax code to raise additional funds; tapping the rainy day fund; or bonding for some projects thereby making additional revenue available for current needs.
I believe sound public policy and duty require us to consider all of these options or a combination thereof. Even then, we can only partially soften the pain. There is a point where we move from "belt-tightening" to serious injury. Most of our colleges and universities have histories that date to the 1800s. They have played a major role in making Utah an attractive place in which to live and do business. They have often and accurately been referred to as the "economic engine" that drives progress. It would be a serious mistake to compromise their capacity to help move the state forward.
The challenge facing higher education applies in many areas of state government including public education. During the weeks that follow, I will try to supply some insight into other areas of importance to the state and particularly rural Utah.
On the brighter side, Utah remains better off than most of her sister states, some of whom are considering bonding to make payroll. That seems a sure path to economic self-destruction. We won't do that, and we won't give up our station as the leader in responsible governance, but it won't be easy.

Women's Health
Discover everything you need to know about women's nutrition in this section devoted solely to woman's issues. Topics covered include weight gain during menopause, and tips on how to detect and avoid breast cancer.
They say you never really know what love is until you have a child. Motherhood is an exciting time in a woman's life. From the moment you know that you are expecting, everything will start to change. It's an amazing feeling to know that you have a brand new person growing inside of you that you created and that you are responsible for.
Losing baby weight is the furthest thing from a new mothers mind. All you'll want to do is spend time with your little angel. But a little ways down the road, once you have had time to adjust to having a new person in your life, you'll start thinking about losing baby weight.
The pressure put on new mothers to jump back into their old bodies is unreal. Celebrities like JLo, Jessica Alba and Gwyneth Paltrow made losing baby weight seem so simple, but the fact is—it's not. But it's not impossible either.
With the responsibility of a new child, when is there even time to start losing baby weight?
Losing weight is a difficult task for anyone, but it is possible.
Some of the best ways to lose baby weight is to work out with your baby!
Invest in a stroller:
Seriously! It may seem a bit silly to you now, but you'll definitely be happy that you got one. Walking is great exercise and it becomes even more pleasurable when you get to do it with your baby. The sunlight, fresh air and cool breeze should help put both of your minds at ease.
For lasting results, make it a daily routine. You'll be burning calories, on your way to losing baby weight and your daily walks will become your special time with your new baby. It couldn't get much better than that.
Front baby carriers:
Ever seen one of those front baby carriers? They're perfect for supporting your baby while you're walking around the house or even while you're trying to squeeze in a leg workout. You'll be supporting your baby's weight, which can be a work out in itself, and you'll have your hands free.
When your baby is sleeping:
When your baby starts to drift away, you can do an at home work-out video. It's the perfect time is squeeze in a 30 minute cardio workout. Buy a couple of workout DVD's, turn the volume down low and sweat it out. Even if you are exhausted, you'll feel better after a workout because you're losing that baby weight!
There are so many ways for you to fit in exercise with a new baby in your life.
Get creative:
As long as you feel comfortable, there are no limitations on what you can do. Celebrate and revel in the fact that your body was capable and strong enough to grow and deliver a beautiful, healthy baby. If you can make it through child birth, you can lose the baby weight before she learns how to talk—you just might have to get a little creative and find what works for you!
Eat healthy
Even if you exercise every day, you'll never get anywhere without a proper diet. It can be tough for new moms to find time to go to the grocery store, nonetheless cook healthy meals.
If you're looking for something fast and convenient without the hassle of going to the grocery store, bistroMD offers a diet delivery program that can help you drop that baby weight and get back into a healthy lifestyle. We cook with the freshest ingredients and have over 200 recipes and a customizable menu so you're sure to find something to satisfy your taste buds.

We have a men and a women's program with the option to receive five-or-seven-days' worth of healthy meals delivered to your door. The seven day option comes with the My Night feature, your one night a week to just kick back and relax.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: The above numbers are estimations only. Please take into account garment size, lining and fabric width.

Most of the problems with it are after many years. Mobile homes are covered for 10 years after manufacture. Whether it has PB or not is easy to check. Open the water heater compartment and see if the pipes to it are gray. The same thing could apply to the larger water pipes under the kitchen sink, not necessarily the small ones to the faucet.

OAKLAND -- The numbers continue to defy logic, not to mention baseball history. This is a game that requires skills typically honed over years of repetition, with every weakness probed and exploited.
Mike Trout, though, is making baseball look like child's play.
TROUT: Homers in third straight game
A day after becoming the first American League player to compile 25 home runs, 30 steals and 100 walks in the same season, the Los Angeles Angels center fielder homered again in Wednesday's 5-4 victory against the Oakland Athletics.
Of course he did.
Trout had homered in the previous two games of the series as well, each a majestic shot that left observers pondering how far the ball would have traveled had it not crashed into the O.Co Coliseum's façade or stands.
The Monday drive initially was estimated at 421 feet before being recalibrated and announced as 452.
"I don't know what the criteria is for measuring this, but there's no way that ball is anything short of 500 feet," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
Trout's exploits have gone far beyond the magnitude of his home runs. A Gold Glove-caliber outfielder, he ranks in the top five in the league in batting average, hits, runs, doubles, triples, walks, on-base percentage and slugging percentage and is sixth in steals.
The feats are adding to the legend of a player who turned 22 last month and finished second in the American League MVP voting as a rookie in 2012.
This year?
He has more than 70 extra-base hits to go with the 30-plus steals and 100 walks, an unprecedented combination.
"The guy barrels up everything where it's thrown, has a great selection at the plate and what he's swinging at," Oakland outfielder Josh Reddick said. "A lot of pitchers fear throwing to Mike Trout."
The A's went against convention by challenging Trout and refusing to walk him in his 14 plate appearances (he was hit by a pitch once), and they paid for it when he belted three homers and had six RBI in the series.
Most opponents have taken a different tack. With Albert Pujols out since July 27 because of plantar fasciitis, Trout has gotten 51 bases on balls in 48 games. After walking once every 9.5 plate appearances last season, he has seen the frequency increase to one every 6.8.
The result: an eye-opening .435 on-base percentage, second only to Miguel Cabrera in the major leagues.
Trout, batting third instead of first or second since Pujols went down, says he won't alter his approach regardless of where he hits and who's behind him.
"I like walking," said Trout, who often turns bases on balls into de facto doubles by stealing second. "Obviously I'd rather hit, but if I don't get a pitch I can hit, I'm not going to swing at it.
"Even in the minor leagues, I didn't really swing until I got a strike. A lot of people would tell me it's good to go out there and look for one pitch at the beginning of the at-bat. And it's true. But for me, it gets me out of my approach."
Trout's keen sense of the strike zone, usually a trait gained through experience, has helped him avoid the second-year malaise that often afflicts players after stellar rookie seasons.
When Trout hit .261 with two home runs in April, it was easy to assume he had become the latest victim of the so-called sophomore jinx. He hasn't batted below .327 in any month since and said he made an adjustment after noticing he was chasing bad pitches in that first month.
According to Fangraphs.com, Trout swings at 24.2% of pitches outside the strike zone, 11th best in the American League, and ranks seventh by swinging at 56% percent of pitches in the zone.
"If you had asked me before, my answers usually reflect that I thought his speed was his best tool," teammate Mark Trumbo said. "But I think maybe his plate discipline has taken over by this point. I mean, you can pick any one of the five (tools), but after watching him, hitting behind him and seeing his approach, it's outstanding."
That can't be said about his team. Despite a late-season surge in which they have won 19 of their last 26 games, the Angels are near certain to miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
Much like last season, their non-contender status figures to cost Trout in the MVP race. He finished second to 2012 Triple Crown winner Cabrera of the playoff-bound Detroit Tigers despite leading the majors with a 10.9 Wins Above Replacement figure, and the competition engendered a heated debate over the value of new metrics compared to old stats.
This year, Trout is again tops in WAR with 9.0, but Cabrera and Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis are regarded as stronger MVP candidates, and even Scioscia says a team's performance should factor in the voting.
Trout said he has heard his name mentioned in MVP talk this year but less frequently.
"It seems like every game in September last year people were talking about it after the game. It's definitely hard to keep your mind off it when people are bringing it up every day," Trout said. "I'm just going out there playing my game and being myself."

Roller cam rotary table offers 110 ft.-lbs. of spindle torque
Haas Automation offers the HRC210 high-speed, cam-driven rotary table, which provides cutting and indexing speeds up to 830 degrees/sec. Offering 110 ft.-lbs. of spindle torque for synchronous 4-axis machining, its pneumatic brake yields 134 ft.-lbs. of holding torque for stationary work.
Indexing accuracy is ±20 arcsec, with repeatability of 4 arcsec. The 8.27-in. platter has a center height of 6.000 in., with a 2.00- by 1.91-in.-deep pilot bore and 1.77-in. through-hole. Six radial T-slots help simplify fixture and workpiece mounting, and both manual and pneumatic tailstocks are available for additional workpiece support.
The roller cam system uses a high-torque servomotor to drive a globoidal cam meshing with cam followers equally spaced around the diameter of a roller gear. Needle bearings in the cam followers provide smooth contact with the cam, and a precision-engineered cam profile helps ensure accurate speeds and motion, the company reports.
The unit, which is not designed for stand-alone operation, requires a Haas mill with software version 18.13 or later.

This has been a yummy treat for our 31month old. She's a very picky eater, both at meal and snack time. These Chocolate Chips cookies from Barbara's Bakery are one of the few things that got her approval and thumbs up. We don't have a daily snack time in our meal schedule as she's in full-time daycare on most weekdays; hence this becomes a nice "reward" treat if she does a task mommy asks her to do. Definitely works great for me!

Thin, crisp, delicious but not too sweet. A lot of cookies in one bag for children.

Backhoe Loaders are the go-to machine for contractors. They are tractor-like vehicles with a backhoe at one end, a front loader on the other. They have a swiveling seat to position the operator facing whichever he is using at the time. The bucket can be replaced with multiple attachments for specific jobs, such as a breaker attachment for demolishing concrete.
available dig depths
There are not great differences in size from one backhoe to the next. Of all heavy machinery, backhoes vary the least in size from one model to the next. While there are front-end loaders and excavators -- even skidsteers -- that are monstrous in relation to other machines in the same class, there are not incredibly large backhoes nor mini-backhoes.
Renting a backhoe is a good option if a person has a variety of jobs on a site to accomplish, but a limited number of machines. An operator can dig a trench for pipe (sewer, water or gas), for utilities or an operator can dig trench for a drainage system or irrigation. An operator can also use the bucket on the back to dig a foundation or a basement. The bucket on the front end can quickly scoop up spoils and put them in a pile or load them in the back of a dump truck or end or side dump tandem. The front bucket is also ideal for flattening or forming an area within a jobsite. A backhoe can do anything a loader or excavator can do, but on a smaller scale.

Doug Ekker will be leaving Green River to serve as a firefighter in Iraq. He will be working for a private company contracted by the United States government to fight fires on United States military bases.
Ekker has served seven years as a Green River Firefighter. He is also an Intermediate Emergency Medical Technician and has served with Green River Ambulance Services for the past five years. When I asked Doug why he wanted to do this, he said, "I want to be able to serve our troops, firefighting and EMS are what I know best."
Green River Ambulance Services would like to send our prayers and love with Doug while he is gone.

Edinburgh have named nine players aged 23 or under in their squad to face the Ospreys in the PRO12 at Liberty Stadium on Friday.
Edinburgh have named nine players aged 23 or under in their squad that will take on the Ospreys on Friday.
A combination of injuries and international call-ups have handed highly-rated flanker Hamish Watson (21) his first start for the club after seven appearances off the bench in the PRO12.
Four of the nine youngsters will start the match: Harry Leonard (20) is promoted from the bench, while Dougie Fife (22), Stuart McInally (22) and Greig Tonks (23) retain their increasingly ever-present places at wing, back-row and full-back.
"A number of PRO12 clubs are tested to the limit at this time of the season, both with the attritional nature of the game in terms of injuries and with players selected to represent their country," said head coach Michael Bradley to the club website.
"Edinburgh Rugby has proven to be a fantastic breeding ground for talented young players, many of whom will represent Scotland this weekend, while the team picked to play Ospreys will showcase another group of gifted young players coming through who, with time and experience, will grow into hardened, quality individuals capable of delivering winning performances for this club."
More to follow…
Form: Ospreys only win in their last six matches in all competitions was 16-12 against table topping Ulster in the RaboDirect PRO12 on 8 February. The Welshmen have won their last six home games in the PRO12, but have not beaten a Scottish side this season. Edinburgh Rugby have not won since a trip to Connacht in the PRO12 on 1 December, but have at least managed a victory in Wales this season, beating Cardiff Blues 21-19 at the Arms Park on 7 September. Edinburgh beat Ospreys 23-13 when the two sides met at Murrayfield in round nine, but have not completed a league double over the Welshmen since season 2008/09.
The teams:
Ospreys: tbc
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Nick De Luca, 12 Ben Atiga, 11 Lee Jones, 10 Harry Leonard, 9 Richie Rees, 8 Netani Talei, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Sean Cox (capt), 4 Perry Parker, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Steven Lawrie, 1 John Yapp.
Replacements: 16 Andy Titterrell, 17 Allan Jacobsen, 18 Alex Allan, 19 Robert McAlpine, 20 Chris Leck, 21 Piers Francis, 22 Ben Cairns, 23 Tom Brown.

When a course is created, the creator must enter a name and short name. This strongly implies that names are the concern of the creator, not the teacher. The teacher should therefore be normally prevented from changing them.
Possible solution: add a new capability moodle/course:updatecoursename with default value Not set in Teacher role.

I agree 100% with this. I have an issue with teachers trying to rename courses especially the short name. It would be great if we could prevent them from making this change
We are frequently encountering teachers changing the name of courses for which we are trying to adhere to a specific course name syntax. I believe that the institution should have the ability to decide whether or not course names remain unchanged or can be changed by teachers.
I would add the Course ID Number to the list of things teachers shouldn't change. If a class is linked to another system via the course ID number and the teacher changes that number, well, we can all see where that would lead!
I'll add that I've been modifying our code to limit the capability to change shortname and idnumber to those with moodle/course:create at the category context. I would be nice to see an option for this somewhere in the administration block - who is able to change this information? - or add three more capabilities - moodle/course:changefullname, moodle/course:changeshortname, and moodle/course:changeidnumber, defaulting to allowing this for editing teachers, but giving us a way to disable this for our teachers.
We just started using Moodle and we ran into this issue as well, ours is more along the lines of we are only worried about Course ID's, but would love to be able to have teachers change all but Name, short name and Course ID, they should be able to add or subtract more topics, or weeks in the settings functions, also we think taking this way is also taking away some editing functions, like moving around resources.
This seems like a good request. I like Matt's idea of using course creator as the check. We do something similar in allowing admins to limit which user profile fields are editable by the user, I see no reason we could not set it up so that the admin could determine which fields are editable by course creator only. I'll add this to my list of issues to play with if I have time and see if I can come up with a patch but in all likelihood Eloy will beat me to it as I'm buried with classes, books, reading, etc. and do not have the time I would like to play with these types of issues. Peace - Anthony
How has this been implemented? Matt suggests two methods in his comment.
Ray - I am checking this out now and hope to create some documentation for it. Peace - Anthony
Ray - It is pretty simple. Nicolas created three capabilities
To disallow teachers to change one of those, go to Users->Permissions->Define roles and edit the teacher role. By default, the teacher has these capabilities so they simply need to be set to prevent to prevent the teacher from being able to edit those fields.
Peace - Anthony
Great. Thanks for checking this out.
Yet another useful configuration option!
I added the documentation at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Add/edit_courses#Adding_a_course
Also added:
and edited:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Course_settings to alert teachers if they suddenly find they cannot edit that the site admin has removed the capability.
I do not understand the changes in course edit_form.php, those fields are required and if user does not have these caps he/she can not add course at all
in anycase the will cause serious regressions in custom roles because these will not have these defined!
we would have to base it on both moodle/course:update during upgrade
this is extremely urgent
1/ base value of new caps on moodle/course:update ASAP
2/ ignore these tests when adding new course - put the code into definition_after data instead
Petr - Thanks for the good catches on this. I learned about hardfreeze and clonepermissionsfrom. I am in the process of testing now. Peace - Anthony
This is awesome! Thanks everyone!
One question: will this be rolled out in a patch to the current 1.9.x version or in the 2.0 version?
Mary - If your site administrator downloads the latest stable or weekly version of 1.9 (or 2.0) then you see this feature included. It has been checked in to the 1.9 STABLE and HEAD branches. Let me know if that is clear. Peace - Anthony
Are you sure it's been added to STABLE? And if so, should new features be being added to the stable/weekly release?
From the d/l page for 1.9.2 + MOODLE_19_WEEKLY
"BEST CHOICE FOR A NEW SERVER! The 1.9 stable branch is continually being improved with new bug fixes since the last release (but not new features)."
Ray - Looking at http://cvs.moodle.org/moodle/course/edit_form.php?view=log&pathrev=MOODLE_19_STABLE shows that it was added to 19STABLE. The tracker issue is listed (which could be debated) as an improvement to the existing functionality. I think whether it is a new function or improvement is up for grabs but your point about not introducing new features into 19STABLE is a good one and something to keep an eye on. Peace - Anthony
p.s. Based on the popularity of the issue, I think it is probably a good thing in this case that this improvement was was made to 1.9.
Anthony - You deleted the following comment from your reply "p.s. Based on the popularity of the issue, I think it is probably a good thing in this case that this improvement was was made to 1.9."
Just to comment on this in general. Adding new features to stable releases causes havoc to a greater or lesser degree when the expectation is that a, say, weekly update only includes bug fixes. It's the sort of behaviour that detractors of OS point to as making it unsuitable for enterprise/serious. This probably true for both new feature and improvements.
Also most users don't keep as close an eye on these things as we do, adding to perceptions of lack of stability.
Hi - Will the course name, short name and ID still display (but not be editable) on the course setting page for teachers where the permissions have been set not to allow them to modify these fields? I saw this running on a test server we have, and the name fields didn't display on the course setting page for teachers. I think it would be useful for this info to display here. Thanks.... Brian
Ray - Ooops, I intended to add the p.s. not delete it but at least you saw it. I think your reminder to not add features/even improvements generally speaking is a good one and worth reminding developers. I agree with the theory but also recognize that there are times when it may better serve the community to make a conscience (but deliberate) choice to add something to a released version. My sense has been that we generally run new features by MD and the question about impact has ranked highly when making that choice. Peace - Anthony
Brian - I'm pretty sure that the patch (at least what I saw committed) allows for those fields to be visible and show (just not editable). As I understood the code that is what the hardFreeze function was to do. Although I've not actually tested to see if it in fact works. I just looked at the patch:
if ($course and !has_capability('moodle/course:changefullname', $coursecontext)) {
Peace - Anthony
Ray is correct about the general policy, however we do occasionally add features/improvements to STABLE when:
1) the feature defaults to previous behaviour (ie it's something you can switch off/on), or
2) the feature re-implements something that was removed in a previous release, or
3) the feature is small and there is a huge number of votes for it and the next major release is a long way off
(In this case it's 1 and 3)
Tested on 1.9 and 2.0, it works fine. Thanks everyone for your work and comments on this issue.
I am really glad to see this added to core. We just did a custom course settings block for a client, to provide this but with a couple of extra capabilities
Our project included
Full Name
Short Name
Course ID #
The course description and category are equally important to control for many organizations. This is especially the case for schools using an enrollment integration.
I can have Akin Delemare who did our work on this create a patch file to add two more capabilities if they would be accepted into core.
The zip contains 3 patch files created using diff.
role.php (lang/en_utf8)
edit_form.php (course)
access.php (lib/db)
2 more capabilities have been added with a context of COURSE:
If the user has the moodle/course:create capability but does not have the moodle/course:changecategory capability, the user still cannot edit the course category.
So suggest moodle/course:changecategory capability Allow for Course Creator and Admin and Not Set for all others?
Thanks for everyone's comments and votes.
Nicolas, any progress to report on fixing this issue for 1.9.6?
Implemented in 1.9 and 2.0, thanks for the feedback and the patch.
Nicolas, thanks for finishing fixing this issue.
Documentation about the new capabilities now available:
I'm having a problem understanding the course:changecategory capability. On a 1.9.6 test server, I set this to Allow for the Teacher role. Yet on the Course Settings page, the Teacher does not have the ability to change the category. There isn't even an option for this. Am I missing something fundamental about this?

What can you ask from a teether? Interesting surface, not-to-heavy to lift, quality plastic?! This teether has it all, and my daughter chews on it, so I think the verdict is set.

D. Denenge Akpem (Chicago, IL)
odie rynell cash (Detroit, MI)
Thando Mama (Cape Town, South Africa)
Ayanna Jolivet Mccloud (Houston, TX)
brings together the work of black artists both academic and self-taught whose interests lie in questioning the roles of identity, culture and perception through the use of their bodies and experimentation. The artists stray outside the conventional thinking of modernism, performance and visual expression from both western contemporary and contemporary black aesthetics. Whereas history and experience play strong roles in all the artists work, the way they are conveyed can at times be perceived as shocking due to their use and restructuring of the medium they choose to express their ideas. Presentation and attention to aspects of African and
African American ritual
are applied unapologetically by each artist to help better understand the conceptual nature of operating in and outside of colonial structures while addressing the broad and complex culture of those of African descent.

Diamond Life
Jillian Conrad (Houston, TX)
Moo Kwon Han (New York, NY)
Curated by Kurt Mueller (Houston, TX)
Jillian Conrad and Moo Kwon Han create idealized spaces, fictive structures of time and place through which we are invited to renegotiate our relationship to the real. The effect of their reflective constructions, however, is equally refraction. Poetic dreams are realized as hopeful Chroma-key videos and imagined landscapes manifest as dazzling sculptural installations. The artifice of these mediated views is purposely apparent; lofty reaches are made tangible by humor and humble means. Conrad and Moo Kwon's works pull from natural science—geology, physics, biology—but repurpose its phenomena lyrically, as narratives of discovery and forms of accretion, as metaphors for the creative process. Drawings are sculpted, calligraphic poems are performed, and the world is revealed as a multi-faceted prospect: still-forming.

Serves the purpose
"I bought these shoes to go to a wedding. I needed a pair of silver inexpensive sandals and I think the serve the purpose.I expected them to be from another material based on the picture but I dont mind. They look really nice with the whole outfit. They are comfortable once you get a little used to them and I am not a high heel type of woman."

Cute but not for me
"I got these online and when they came I wasnt sure how i felt about the little flecks of glitter, they are definitely sparkly. Even after getting over the sparkle, though, I found that the back of the heel rubbed and I knew I couldn't wear these all night and be comfortable. I'm returning for another pair."

Due to the soft and elastic nature of this string, Polyfibre recommends stringing with 2 to 4lbs more tension than a basic polyester string.

Skip to comments.Beloved Texas democrat, Jack Brooks dies at 89-years-old
Posted on 12/05/2012 7:53:17 AM PST by Borges
Tuesday night, Jack Brooks died in Texas after experiencing a sudden illness; he was 89. Brooks spent 42 years in Congress and was part of the motorcade in Dallas when JFK was assassinated. Jack Brooks would have been 90-years-old on December 18.
Brooks died at the Baptist Hospital of Beaumont in Texas and was surrounding by family.
A good-old-country-boy from Texas, Brooks once said:
I'm just like old man Rayburn. Just a Democrat, no prefix or suffix.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
He was one of the old guard democrats defeated in '94. Good riddance!
Party of the Ronnie Earl/Jim Hightower Texas Wingnut Leftist Brigade, I believe.
Never heard of him.
That's something you don't hear too often.
Here's something else you don't hear too often: "Brooks died at the Baptist Hospital of Beaumont in Texas and was surrounding by family."
When I was a kid Jack Brooks sat in our house and was trying to convince my old man LBJ's Great Society was a good idea.
After a long argument, Brooks finally admitted the Great Society was never intended to get anyone out of poverty but was intended to lock blacks into poverty so they would be cheap farm labor.
The nastiness on this thread is worthy of DU.
Mr. Brooks was a WWII vet, served as a Marine in the South Pacific. Member of the NRA.
I'm from Beaumont and certainly knew of Jack Brooks.
He was just a part of the scenery down there—sort of like being elected for life.
Beaumont and surrounding areas were made up of mostly union workers-—in the oilfields, paper mills, etc. I had to actually leave Beaumont before I realized that you can't actually see air. Pollution was a way of life.
We had the oil refineries and chemical plants on one side of town, and the Evadale paper mill on the other. (If you've never smelled the fumes from a paper mill, you haven't lived—LOL!)
It has, of course, been cleaned up greatly by now—but it's still a great place to be FROM, if you get my drift. (Just kidding—I had a wonderful childhood growing up in Beaumont.) I don't have much reason to go back these days, as my parents have been long gone, and even most of my classmates at dear old French High School are in the graveyard, too.
That was the class of 1955, btw.
An old line LBJ/Sam Rayburn 'rat, 'nuff said.
Jack Brooks was probably the most famous casualty of the 94' Congressional tidal wave elections that brought in the Republican majority other than Speaker of the House Tom Foley.
Brooks represented East Texas so there were many, many hunters and fishermen in his district. He always won by large majorities so he thought it was safe for him to vote for the Brady Gun Bill.
His opponent was Republican Steve Stockman who literally ran his campaign out of his garage.
Apparently Brooks ran some polls and saw he was in trouble, so he ran an awful campaign commercial of a Space Shuttle being launched and him craning up his old turkey neck to watch it.
But you can't put stuff like this in an obituary.
Decades ago, my Dad introduced me to him at a dinner party once. I was working as congressional drone on the Hill, and I'll never forget what he said to me as he was shaking my hand.
"I wouldn't fire but about half of them."
Prior to entering Congress in 1952, he famously passed the hat at a civic club in Beaumont to raise enough money to purchase two sport coats. At the conclusion of his congressional career, he was among the most wealthy members of congress, all on a congressman's salary.
As to his legacy, he did manage to steer an inordinate amount of pork into his district over the decades, but otherwise was instrumental in causing the massive expansion of the already bloated bureaucracy.
He made an ass of himself during his inquisition of Oliver North during the Iran Contra hearings, at one point revealing what had been highly sensitive and classified intelligence information.
A mixed legacy at best. The people of southeast Texas did themselves a favor by retiring him in 1994. They were also wise in defeating one of his younger disciples (Nick Lampson) for the third time this year.
After growing up in Beaumont back in the 1960's,
I didn't trust air that I couldn't see.
When I left Beaumont, I had to start smoking.
Jack was not beloved by many thinking Texans. He was one of the Yeller Dog Dems that gave us LBJ and the downward slide of America into our now bamaClaus dire straits.
Sad he has been wasting our air. Happy the shitbird is gone.
My old man tried to tell Brooks it wasn't going to work that way, that LBJ's Great Society would create a permanent underclass not just for blacks but also whites, but Brooks would have none of it.
After that my old man, an FDR democrat, never voter for another dem for president.
I did, too! All that unpolluted air made me dizzy——LOL!
Then tote your froggy butt right back over to DU.
I have never been there to know.
This is the second post you've defended one of the scummy-est dems, Brooks. What gives????
Jack Brooks was a go to guy for many in the SE Texas region as he had the power in DC to make or break most any project and he did.
His loss in 92 was unexpected to say the least. I remember watching on channel 6, the local CBS station, as they were reporting from what was thought to be his campaign victory celebration party. The tv station had gotten reports from over in the Galveston area that Stockman had won enough votes there to win the election. They had Brooks on live as this was coming in to the reporter. The reporter asked Brooks about his loss and the Stockman win.
Brooks was flabbergasted to say the least as he was unaware that he had lost. He responded by asking them "where did you hear that". They told him and he and his campaign people left to get the info with details. He wasn't a happy camper for sure.
A bit of trivia: In the 1994 Impeachment proceedings Brooks as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee used a gavel that was made from wood used in the 1993 Nixon inauguration ceremonies.
Clinton's impeachment was in 1998, Brooks was defeated for re-election in '94. The gavel to which you refer was used in '74 during Nixon proceedings.
The gavel to which you refer was used in 74 during Nixon proceedings.
You are correct. I knew the date but typed it in wrong and didn't catch it in my review. I also misused 'their' which should have been 'there' in my 2nd sentence about the weather.
Thanks for the correction on the date so that others won't be misled.
Take care...
