When the AIA Committee on Design hosts "The AIA Practice Guide to Integrating Energy Modeling in the Design Process" at the AIA National Convention next month, its principal challenge will be dispelling energy modeling's fear factor.
Computer-based models that simulate energy consumption and production in buildings have become increasingly popular with architects. But the connection between these tools and everyday practice has not been as easily made. The intent of the AIA's practice guide is to help architects gain a better understanding of energy as a design topic, and to assist with bridging the communications gap between what architects call design and what many engineers and energy modelers call geometry. The includes architect-rated evaluations of many of today's energy modeling interfaces and engines. It also includes links and a map documenting which tools work best with various CAD and 3D modeling programs.
Energy modeling represents a major paradigm shift, creating a new value proposition and a new level of service for the architectural profession. It's about the health, safety, and welfare trinity, but it's also about performance. Spiraling energy costs and the environmental stresses of climate change have made energy modeling more relevant. The USGBC's LEED program and other green-rating systems have made energy modeling a requirement for earning renewable-energy credits that count toward certification.
More and more government agencies, retail developers, and universities (which drive urban and rural development) include energy modeling requirements in their RFPs. More and more state and local energy building codes contain energy modeling disclosure requirements, and, of course, the AIA's 2030 Commitment requires energy measurements and controls.
"With energy modeling, the architect can have a longer-term role as trusted adviser to the client, counseling post-occupancy on energy consumption and performance measures that reflect back on the original energy modeling analysis done before occupancy," says Rand Ekman, AIA, Cannon Design's Chicago-based director of sustainability and president of AIA Chicago. "It lets us own more of the design process and expands our value."
Ekman serves on the Energy Modeling Working Group that helped to develop the AIA's new guide. The 10-member working group toured three U.S. Department of Energy laboratories—National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley, and Pacific Northwest—to learn about the new collaborative energy modeling tools that are in development and to provide input on what tools may be available in the future. "Energy modeling is becoming part and parcel of what it takes to get a job done," Ekman says.
"Early modeling analysis is graphical in nature, and what gets done later by engineers is more data-driven on spreadsheets and texts," says Oregon-based Darren Lewis, AIA, sustainable-design technology consultant at HDR and a member of AIA's Technology in Architectural Practice Knowledge Community. "The opportunity is for architects to get over the business-as-usual mind-set and put all the available technology to full use."
Amidst all of the new energy tools, one thing seems clear: Energy modeling elevates the details of building science to the same level as artistic design, requiring architects to become equally skilled in both. "Firms that are incorporating energy modeling," Lewis says, "are seen as more substantive in their commitment to providing high-performance buildings."

"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Most kiddie invites are too bright and cartoonish. These still embrace the childhood whimsy while staying classy and timeless. Very good quality paper and I upgraded to the colored envelopes and was very happy."
"This design is a fun mix of traditional and modern elements. The paper is thick and the quality of the printing is excellent. The matte finish and subtle texture lend themselves well to the wood background. The default font for the body of the text ("Join us...") was a little too thin for us so we opted to go with Wayne instead. The only thing that might make this invitation even better is the option to change the color of the back. We liked the red gingham but we would have gone with green gingham if it were an option."
"These came out amazing! The colors are vibrant and I love the way the upgraded pearl finish looks. People have been asking where I got them and are shocked when i tell them they aren't from some fancy boutique but rather ordered online from the comfort and convenience of my bed. I adore tiny prints. The customer service is also amazing. I made an error on my original batch and the rep told me to send them back and they gave me a full refund. I couldn't believe it! They really just want their customers to be happy and will do what needs to be done to make that happen. This is my second time using Tiny prints and I'm officially a loyal customer now!"

Sara Evans
She eventually moved to Oregon in 1992, but continued to perform as Sara Evans & North Santiam. The group opened for Willie Nelson and Tim McGraw, among others, but Evans eventually returned to Nashville to try to remake her career. There she impressed Howard enough that he recommended her to RCA executives, who connected her with producer Pete Anderson (a veteran of many albums by Dwight Yoakam). After her debut album, Three Chords and the Truth, was released in July 1997, Evans earned a special honor by being handpicked by George Jones to open a special show in Nashville. No Place That Far followed a year later, breaking into the U.S. pop charts and eventually reaching gold certification. Her big breakthrough was 2000's Born to Fly. The title track was a big hit for Evans, and the album eventually peaked in the Top Ten of Billboard's country charts, going double-platinum in the process.
Evans returned in 2003 with Restless, and the country chart-topper "Backseat of a Greyhound Bus" helped it become her highest-charting album to date. Fifth studio album Real Fine Place appeared in 2005, and the title track became her fourth number one hit on the country charts. The compilation Greatest Hits appeared in 2007; it included four new recordings, led by the Top 20 hit "As If."
Evans returned to the popular arena in early 2011 with Stronger. Even though it was released six years after Real Fine Place, it hit the top of the country album charts, while the single "A Little Bit Stronger" did the same on the country singles charts. Reentering the studio in November 2012 with producer Mark Bright, Evans set about recording her seventh studio album, Slow Me Down. Preceded by the 2013 release of the title track -- which promptly hit the country Top 20 -- the album appeared early in March 2014. ~ John Bush

|Road Racing & Rally The place to discuss information about road/rally racing stats, tips and events. Track sanctioned events only.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I agree with getting help from more experienced racers. Attend an SCCA (or NASA) event and talk to the drivers, they are always willing to help and you will have a lot of fun watching the action.
|Jack FFR1846
|More seat time. Try to ride with instructors during their sessions if you're not working a corner or in the classroom. The difference between a n00b's time and his instructor on a 1.5 mile course in the same car is typically 14 seconds a lap. (Lime Rock, NHMS as example tracks). Also carefully look at the track for where you might take a chicane where you can literally go straight through. NHMS turn 12 entry comes to mind. Your car is a momentum car. Watch what experienced guys in Miatas do. Or watch the ITA front wheel drive cars in an SCCA race when they're out of traffic. Don't focus on what you can do to the car. When I took my instructor test with SCDA, Bill Prout (look him up) got in his spec neon and told me to get in the passenger seat and instruct him. After checking me out, he took 2 or 3 laps. I'll tell you what.....he put a few BMW 3 series cars to shame with a spec Neon. Seat time over all else.
Quick question about throttle bodies since it has been mentioned. I assume the opening diameter is the important part of an aftermarket TB? The bigger the better (up to a point of course) Is there any particular crappy brand? its basic function is to let air in right, is there a preferred brand?
This probably could go in engine performance section but we were just talking about it.
I have a 2.5 exhaust in it (came with it) I'm going to get a new muffler because this one sounds horrible at high RPMs not natural sounding at all.
I do plan on getting new TB and tune but also want to get new camshafts and valves, but not sure what order to do it in. I imagine the tune will be last, at least it makes sense. I also want new wheels but that comes in the "looks" category.
A good way to add 20-30HP is a SVT header , 2.5 exh , drop in filter , TB and a tune would net you a good 20+ HP to the wheels and you will be surprised what it will do on the track , a lot of this you can find used here on FF
Correct, it's a PowerWorksSuperCharger
i would just pick up a beater hatch for rally, then build it for rally only. less of a headache. plus Rally beats up the car pretty bad, i'm not sure if i'd want to rally a car then take it on the track where speeds can reach the triple digits..
What is a PWSC? I tried googling it but got no definitive answer. My best guess is a supercharger of some sort?
Yeah a lot of those guys wouldn't hold back and I don't blame them, I actually like the turns more than the straights I like the technical aspects of them. I've actually heard that Pacific raceways is probably one of the most technical courses around hear, with all the elevation changes and turns. I really hope to get to go out there and play more and learn as much as possible. I have started the process in getting my novice license now I just need to get a car prepped for racing or rent one. The original goal was to have the car built for Group 2 rally and just rally but I need to do something in between rally so I figure circuit racing would be a good choice since the operate year round. It may be a pain in the ass but I figure I could use the car as a dual purpose car. I figure id have to change out the suspension and wheels and I could get by. The cage is my biggest hurtle at the moment. I'm not sure if its the wisest plan. I have been looking at the Pro3's they seem fun and very cost effective to race on a budget.
If you are better in the corners and are on a guys ass coming to the straights the proper way to run is the guy let's you go and then the next lap you will stretch out on them.
Most guys ego won't let them do this though and unless you have good corner workers that will help you with passing flags, ect or instructors that pay attention it is hard to do.
From the track map and satellite photo of the track you would need to get as much speed as possible exiting turn 8. A couple of mph there would give a higher top speed towards turn 2 if you could carry the speed through the jogs in the track. Similarly you will need to get out of turn 3B cleanly to make speed towards 5A.
From the videos you were using all of the track at the exit of 8 which is good. If you notice a number of the other cars were not. They were leaving a lot on the table by not finishing off the turn properly.
I tell my students to get on the power as soon and as hard as they can to the point where you wont need to get out of it.
Most people apply too much throttle too early and too hard, then back out and back on again. It is a real momentum killer, especially in a low horsepower car.
I ask my students if they have taken calculus (see, book learnn aint all bad after all). Think about the area under a curve. A nice throttle application would be a smooth arc upwards that maximizes both the time the throttle is applied and the amount of throttle. Someone who gets on the throttle a tick later or applies it too soon and has to back off would have a jagged line with spikes and valleys. Less area under the curve.
I run a SVT Focus with Cobalt pads, they are phenomenal. I do much of my accelerating while under braking because the car stops so well.
Most folks starting out do not use their brakes as efficiently as they could. Many back off the throttle, coast down a ways then apply a little brake, then a little more before turn in. Exactly as you would while driving to work approaching a signal light. On track the rules are different.
Keep on the throttle to the braking zone and then get on the brakes hard until turn in. If the car has ABS, find out where the threshold is and get as close to that point as you can before the turn. On a non ABS car it will take a bit more practice.
As for more power, it is nice but wont necessarily make you faster. I have a friend that I run with at Mosport. He has a SVT with Hoosiers and a Torsen. I have a PWSC SVT with NT01s and a Torsen. So I have more power but his tires are a little stickier.
When we go out to play I can run him down and pull away at will with my power advantage all day long.
However, he has larger testicles than I.
In turns 1 through 4 he carries way more speed than I am comfortable with. He brakes later and less and gets back on the power a little earlier. He also keeps the car up in the rev band while I tend to short shift.
If we were in identical cars, he would simply pull away from me and it would appear to anyone watching that he had tons more power because of the distance he gains exiting the turns. In a 20-25 minute session he would probably be 3 or 4 turns ahead by the end of the session.

Appointment, Nonreappointment, and Requirements of Notice and Review
The UNC Policy Manual
Chapter 100.1 - The Code
Section 604
604 A. Notice of Reappointment or Nonreappointment.
(1) The decision not to reappoint a faculty member at the expiration of a fixed term of service shall be made by the appropriate institutional faculty and administrative officers early enough to permit timely notice to be given.12.2 For full-time faculty at the rank of instructor, assistant professor, associate professor, or professor, the minimum requirement for timely notice shall be as follows:
(a) during the first year of service at the institution, the faculty member shall be given not less than 90 calendar days' notice before the employment contract expires; and
(a) during the first year of service at the institution, the faculty member shall be given not less than 90 calendar days' notice before the employment contract expires; and
(b) during the second year of continuous service at the institution, the faculty member shall be given not less than 180 calendar days' notice before the employment contract expires; and
(c) after two or more years of continuous service at the institution, the faculty member shall be given not less than 12 months' notice before the employment contract expires.
(2) Notice of reappointment or nonreappointment shall be written. If the decision is not to reappoint, then failure to give timely notice of nonreappointment will oblige the chancellor thereafter to offer a terminal appointment of one academic year.
604 B. Impermissible Reasons for Nonreappointment.
In no event shall a decision not to reappoint a faculty member be based upon (a) the exercise by the faculty member of rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or by Article I of the North Carolina Constitution, or (b) any of the protected statuses included in Section 103 of The Code, or other forms of discrimination prohibited under policies adopted by campus Boards of Trustees, or (c) personal malice. For purposes of this section, the term "personal malice" means dislike, animosity, ill-will, or hatred based on personal characteristics, traits or circumstances of an individual. See Policy 101.3.1 II.B. for details.
604 C. Repealed.
604 D. Review of Nonreappointment Decisions.
(1) Campus-Based Review. Subject to limitations contained in this Code and the Policies of the Board of Governors, each constituent institution shall have a procedure whereby a tenure track faculty member may seek review of the decision of the constituent institution not to reappoint the faculty member. Such procedures shall at a minimum provide for the following:
(a) A reasonable time of no less than 14 calendar days within which after receiving the notice of nonreappointment, the faculty member may request review of the decision by appropriate faculty committee and administrative officers. If the faculty member does not request review of the notice of non-reappointment in a timely fashion as specified by campus tenure policies, the nonreappointment is final without recourse to any further review by faculty committees, the institution, or the Board of Governors.
(b) If the faculty member files a request for review in a timely fashion, the chancellor shall ensure a process is in place so that a hearing is timely accorded before an elected standing committee of the institution's faculty.
(c) In reaching decisions on which its written recommendations to the chancellor shall be based, the committee shall consider only the evidence presented at the hearing and such written or oral arguments as the committee, in its discretion, may allow. The faculty member shall have the burden of proof. In evaluating the evidence the committee shall use the standard of preponderance of the evidence (which is the same as the greater weight of the evidence).
(d) The purpose of the campus based review process is to determine (1) whether the decision was based on considerations that The Code provides are impermissible; and (2) whether the procedures followed to reach the decision materially deviated from prescribed procedures such that doubt is cast on the integrity of the decision not to reappoint.
(2) Appeal to the Board of Governors. If the chancellor concurs in a recommendation of the committee that is favorable to the faculty member, the chancellor's decision shall be final. If the chancellor either declines to accept a committee recommendation that is favorable to the faculty member or concurs in a committee recommendation that is unfavorable to the faculty member, the faculty member may appeal by filing a written notice of appeal with the Board of Governors, by submitting such notice to the President, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by another means that provides proof of delivery, with 14 calendar days after the faculty member's receipt of the chancellor's decision. The notice must contain a brief statement of the basis for the appeal. The purpose of appeal to the Board of Governors is to assure (1) that the campus-based process for reviewing the decision was not materially flawed, so as to raise questions about whether the faculty member's contentions were fairly and reliably considered, (2) that the result reached by the chancellor was not clearly erroneous, and (3) that the decision was not contrary to controlling law or policy.12.3
12.1Because of the unique character and mission of the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and of the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, regular faculty holding fixed-term contracts at those institutions are entitled to the rights afforded in this Section.
12.2Faculty at North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics shall be given notice no later than January 15 during the first year of continuous regular service and no later than December 15 during the second or any subsequent year of continuous regular service.
12.3 See Policy 101.3.1 for additional information.

After updating Metasploit, you need to run this to fix your db_driver issues:
It'll reinstall ROR with all it's dependencies, which appears to fix the problem.Code:sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies
I figured it out when I noticed that the console launched from the webgui of Metasploit seemed to load db_driver and execute db_ commands just fine, after a little bit of digging in the webgui folder I traced the issue back to ROR. Reinstalling it seems to do the job.

Women in the military
While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.
Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '
An old Master Sergeant sitting in the eighth row thought to himself,
'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? '
When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?'
'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'
'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think with only women up there in the ****pit.'
'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member,
'We No Longer Call It The ****pit'
'It's The Box Office.'

Temperature Variations in Past Centuries and the so-called "Hockey Stick"
Instrumental data describing large-scale surface temperature changes are only available for roughly the past 150 years. Estimates of surface temperature changes further back in time must therefore make use of the few long available instrumental records or historical documents and natural archives or 'climate proxy' indicators, such as tree rings, corals, ice cores and lake sediments, and historical documents to reconstruct patterns of past surface temperature change. Due to the paucity of data in the Southern Hemisphere, recent studies have emphasized the reconstruction of Northern Hemisphere (NH) mean, rather than global mean temperatures over roughly the past 1000 years.
The term "Hockey Stick" was coined by the former head of NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Jerry Mahlman, to describe the pattern common to numerous proxy and model-based estimates of Northern Hemisphere mean temperature changes over the past millennium. This pattern includes a long-term cooling trend from the so-called "Medieval Warm Period" (broadly speaking, the 10th-mid 14th centuries) through the "Little Ice Age" (broadly speaking, the mid 15th-19th centuries), followed by a rapid warming during the 20th century that culminates in anomalous late 20th century warmth (Figure 1). Numerous myths regarding the "hockey stick" can be found on various non-peer reviewed websites and other non-scientific venues.
Estimates of Northern Hemisphere average temperature changes from climate model simulations employing estimates of long-term natural (e.g. volcanic and solar) and modern anthropogenic (greenhouse gas and sulphate aerosol) radiative forcings of climate agree well, in large part, with the empirical, proxy-based reconstructions. One notable exception is a study by Gonzalez-Rouco et al (2003) that makes use of a dramatically larger estimate of past natural (solar and volcanic) radiative forcing than is accepted in most studies, and exhibits greater variability than other models (Figure 2). Yet, as in all of the other simulations, even in this case unprecedented warmth is indicated for the late 20th century.
The simulations all show that it is not possible to explain the anomalous late 20th century warmth without including the contribution from anthropogenic forcing factors, and, in particular, modern greenhouse gas concentration increases. A healthy, vigorous debate can be found in the legitimate peer-reviewed climate research literature with regard to the precise details of empirically and model-based estimates of climate changes in past centuries, and it remains a challenge to reduce the substantial uncertainties that currently exist. Despite current uncertainties, it nonetheless remains a widespread view among paleoclimate researchers that late 20th century hemispheric-scale warmth is anomalous in a long-term (at least millennial) context, and that anthropogenic factors likely play an important role in explaining the anomalous recent warmth.

I have noticed the jokes from new members using other new member's names. I didn't know a joke about riverrat was a joke using a member name until I saw riverrat reply to it.
I just think it takes away from the original joke and distracts me from the joke's real meaning. I know most of the posters and the names used. All are great guys, just poking fun at each other. I just think the joke means more if my little one track mind only has to follow one subject.
I think it best, to retain the friendly nature of this forum to not use members names in jokes. I've been called a lot of nasty things, which I can shrug off, but being singled out to be the butt of a joke is offensive. That means I find Bullseye Bill's sense of humor offensive.
Does that mean that you love me Jerry? :rainbowflower:...JP

Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
We've had 5 boats, the biggest was 52' with a swing keel. If it was fixed ballast, we couldn't get into the harbor where we wanted to keep it.
IMHO, any form of retractable foil makes sense when there is a reason for it like getting into a shallow place and/or putting it on a trailer. If I lived in Maine for example, I wouldn't be worried too much about draft because you tend to either hit a rock or be in deep. On cape cod, yea draft matters. Plenty of very shallow harbors. Fixed under water appendages are simpler and more reliable, but if you can't take the boat into your home harbor or someplace else you really want to go, then you do what you gotta do. I'd rather have a boat with a retractable appendage than not have a boat. And my experience is that when done well they sail pretty darn good.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
All very good points, BUT they almost all fall into what I would classify as human error. All but "failure mode 3" are easily prevented or remedied with a little prior planning. The majority of cable/pin/trunk issues arise from lack of maintenance. Yes, it is more work, but in my case for instance, I can't have a full keel boat if I want to sail on our families lake in Ontario. In late summer the water level in our bay has dropped as low as 2 feet at the dock. We can't even launch a full keel sailboat at the boat launch. Properly maintained, many of these have lasted decades with out an issue. I am planning on replacing my keel pin, brackets, and cable this year. My boat just turned 30 years old, and I plan to venture out into more challenging waters soon, so I want to ensure everything is perfect working order. For me it's a small price to pay to be able to sail where I want to! The other huge plus is I can easily take my boat and my family anywhere I get the urge to sail. So in my opinion, swing keels are great, but it really comes down to what your needs are. I see a full keel sailboat, and see it as limiting to my sailing adventures...
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?

Failure mode 1: the cable breaks while the keel is down and you are stuck in deep water.
Failure mode 2: the cable breaks while the keel is up and the keel (1900#) swings down until it hits the stop (which might not). This could let the green monster into the people tank.
Failure mode 3: The boat surfs down (or falls off) a wave and the keel retracts a bit; at the bottom of the wave, the boat stops but the keel keeps going. See #2 above.
Centerboards aren't as problematic, but I still prefer a solid keel.
I have a brand new centerboard- Not by choice.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
There is a lot of good advice here, but also a lot of sloppy jargon. Swing keels, centerboards and daggerboards are three (very) different things. They have one trait in common- the ability to vary the draft of the boat - but they each implement that trait differently and with different trade-offs.
The keel on a sailboat contains the primary ballast for the boat. With a Swing Keel, that keel (not surprisingly) swings. The arrangement differs boat to boat, but the basics are that a cable lead to the trailing edge of the swinging keel hauls the keel up and down (via a winch of some kind), while the trailing top edge of the keel is affixed to the hull with a single pivot point. While retracted, some swing keels are contained completely outside the hull; some retract into a recess either partially or wholly within the hull. Either way, movement of the swing keel significantly changes the boat's center of gravity and resulting stability. Well known examples of swing keel boats are the Catalina 22 and 25.
A centerboard boat is much like a swing keel boat with one big difference: the centerboard does not contribute significantly to the boat's stability. It contains no ballast. The Oday line of trailer sailers (22, 23, 25) embody this design concept. As one of the posters above noted, the ballast for these types of boats is in the boat itself, encapsulated in the hull in a stubby keel. The centerboard pivots in and out of a slot within this keel. Because its not very heavy, the tackle needed to move a centerboard is much less complicated and easier to maintain than its swing keel cousin. Lots of dinghys that have no ballast beyond the weight of the crew also have centerboards.
A daggerboard is a completely different animal altogether. Daggerboards are unweighted fins that move directly up and down through the bottom of the hull. They can be as simple as the arrangement on a Sunfish, where the daggerboard has a handle on top of it that you simply grasp and pull (or push) to move the board to its desired depth. As you can guess, daggerboards are far more common on smaller dinghy type boats.
One more type of moveable keel is the "retractable keel", that has elements of both the daggerboard (moves straight up and down) and the swing keel (contains the boat's ballast). On the RK series of boats from Seaward, the daggerboards have lead bulbs on the bottom containing the ballast for the boat. Of course, Seaward has devised an ingenious power system to extend or retract the keels/daggerboard as needed. Lets you get into the shallows, but still have a high aspect keel with the ballast down as low as you would have on a fixed keel.
I have an Oday 23, and find the keel/centerboard combination to be the best compromise for me. I get the convenience of variable draft, virtually no maintenance of the mechanism, and the comfort of knowing that the ballast for my boat is encased within the hull and ain't falling off.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
I think swing keels good or bad is misleading. The use is what makes the keel good. one type of keel is not a bad thing. Dingy bad / blue water boat good ? The swing keel will let you take that type of boat places and do things others will not go to or do as easy possibly not at all. I like my catalina-22 swing keel and I think for most of my use fresh water lakes it fits better than the other two options. I do not know sales and resale longevety but my opinion is the swing keel catalina-22 is more in demand in this environment than the other two. I see more swing keels in my area. Good Day, Lou

Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
I love my swing keel boat. I dont have worries about it failing and swinging down uncontrollably because it is always down when I'm underway. When I hit a random boulder in 8 feet of water it swung up and didnt wreck anything. just took off some paint. My draft with keel up is 2ft 6in and 5ft 6in when down. That puts the weight right where it needs to be so it performs very well in strong wind and bigger waves. I can also trailer my boat easily. As far as the moving that much weight around, I installed an electric wench where the old hand cranker was so all I have to do is press a button. I also keep an extra wench and battery on board just in case. The wench gets used to raise and lower my mast so I can do it single handed. I dont think I would beach it but I can get close enough to shore to walk in without getting my shorts wet. A huge advantage is not having to depend on someone else and have to pay them to pull it out of the water. If there is a big storm on its way or I just want to give her a proper bath hook up the trailer and pull her out. I always dream of a bigger boat but 26 ft is definately big enough for my family and a few friends. It also fits my finances well.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
I had trouble in my sailing area, in that, I harvested a lot of weeds on the swing keel cable.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
By the way, if the O'Day's 2'10" draft is accurate, it's only 2" deeper than the Catalina 25. There are also wing keel models that don't need a lot of water. They sort of split the difference between swing and fin keels. They are fixed, but shallow draft (the Catalina 25 with a wing is something like 2'11"). Their pointing ability is better than the swing keel models with the board up, but not as good as a fin keel. But, they don't have any lifting mechanisms to worry about.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
Living and sailing around Florida, where shallow water and shifting sand banks are an issue, I think a swing keel is a wonderful thing. That's why I used to have a San Juan 23, which has essentially the same arrangement as the O'Day 25.
Find an unexpected sand bar? The swing keel just pivots up and the boat gently comes to a stop. Pull the keel up the rest of the way and back off or sail away. Easy peasy. With a centerboard it would hit the sand hard and stop suddenly, possibly even doing some damage. If you were heeled over when it hit, then the centerboard is now digging into the sand and holding the boat heeled over. If there isn't any damage, then you pull up the centerboard (with some difficulty if you were heeled when it hit) and go on your way.
Yes, the swing keel includes a pivot point and pennant arrangement that adds a bit of complication. Still, in the 8 years that I owned the San Juan, I never had even one single problem with that. I do not consider it a significant issue, and feel the benefits of a swing keel well outweigh the minor drawbacks. In fact the sailing dinghy that I own now has a swing keel, and I specifically looked for that versus the more common dagger board in boats that size.
Re: SWING KEELS GOOD or BAD?
I'm new to all this, but I enjoy learning, so when I bought my Catalina 25 I started reading up on this a bit. I'm not an expert, but the following is my understanding. Like Ward said, each form of movable keel has its advantage and disadvantage. A swing keel, like on the Catalina 25, carries a good bit of the balast of the boat in the part that swings. In the Catalina 25, that's something like 1200 or 1500 lbs of balast that hangs down. When the keel is down, you move 1500 lbs (or some portion thereof) up to 5 feet from the boat. This significantly improves the boat's righting motion, and gives her characteristics more similar to a fin keel. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that it's "just like" a fin, but the boat tends to behave more like a fin than a shallow draft full keel. The down side is that you have to raise and lower 1500 lbs. And, if the winch, cable, turning ball, swage fittings, pivot bolt, or other part of the lifting mechanism breaks, you have 1200/1500 lbs of steel that will come crashing down and smack into the keel trunk, which in many cases results in the boat sinking, or at least rapidly taking on water. It is rare to see this happen, but it is an important to know about and monitor this as a failure mode.
With boats like the O'Day, you have a very light weight centerboard that swings. 65 lbs crashing into the keel trunk is going to do a lot less damage than 1200-1500 lbs. Of course, the down side is that the balast is moved much higher up in the boat compared to a fin or swing keel. If you think back to high school physics classes where you talked about leverage, moving the ballast closer to the center of rotation/center of gravity on the boat means it takes more balast to counteract the rotational forces imposed by the sails - that is, you need more balast to improve the boat's righting ability if you're not going to put the weight on a long fin keel. The swing centerboard still improves the boat's pointing ability, so it isn't a useless part of the boat, and the mechanisms to control the centerboard are simpler and eaiser to inspect and maintain.
Some boats use dagger boards. Though you typically see these on smaller boats like Sunfish, there are some very large boats that use these. The problem with a dagger is that it won't "kick up" when you run aground, where the swing keel and swing centerboard will do that.
Hope this helps!

Right-Wing Media Promote Minimum Wage Mobility Fantasy
Research ››› ››› CRAIG HARRINGTON
In an effort to downplay the necessity of increasing the minimum wage, right-wing media figures have forwarded the notion that minimum wage jobs are primarily for teenagers and are a "stepping stone" to higher paying future employment. However, the prospects for upward mobility among minimum wage workers remain grim.
Fox Claims Minimum Wage Intended For Teens, Meant As Stepping Stone For Higher Paid Work
Bill O'Reilly: You Get A Job, You Get A Reference, You Get A Better Job. On the July 31 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly recalled his time spent working for minimum wage at Carvel Ice Cream. O'Reilly offered a standard critique of minimum wage jobs as a stepping stone to higher paying work stating, "you do that to get a couple of years' experience, or whatever, and then you move into a better job." [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 7/31/13]
Charles Payne: "You've Got An Opportunity To Work Your Way Up Within The Organization." On the July 29 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto and Fox Business contributor Charles Payne discussed ongoing fast food worker demands for higher wages. Payne claimed that employees need to "work [their] way up while [they're] within the organization" and that higher wages would reward "mediocrity" and encourage social degradation. [Fox News, Your World, 7/29/13]
Neil Cavuto: Minimum Wage Opened Opportunities. On the July 30 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Neil Cavuto recalled his time spent working for minimum wage at Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips, claiming that he was willing to work for a fraction of what minimum wage workers make today and was quickly promoted to higher paying positions, stating, "It all started at two bucks an hour." [Fox News, Your World, 7/30/13]
Rick Berman: Employees Should Find Higher Wages "Someplace Else." On the July 29 edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co., host Stuart Varney and Richard Berman of the Employment Policies Institute -- a front group for fast food lobbyists -- discussed fast food worker demands for higher wages. Berman claimed that employees who desired better pay simply need to "find a job someplace else, where the business model pays higher wages." [Fox Business, Varney & Co., 7/29/13]
Minimum Wage Work Is Not Designed As A Stepping Stone For Teens
Half Of Minimum Wage Workers Are Over 25. Contrary to the conservative talking point that minimum wage jobs are ideally suited for teenagers and entry-level workers, Department of Labor data show roughly half of all minimum wage workers are over 25 years old. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, accessed 7/18/13]
CEPR: Minimum Wage Workers "Older And Better Educated Than Ever." In an April 2012 report, the Center for Economic and Policy Research revealed that from 1979 to 2011 the share of low-wage workers with some college education increased from 19.5 to 33.3 percent. An additional 9.9 percent of low-wage workers had also completed a college degree, up from just 5.7 percent in 1979. [Center for Economic and Policy Research, April 2012]
CEPR: U.S. Minimum Wage "Too Low" To Reduce Low-Wage Work. In a January 2012 report, the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that the United States led all wealthy member states of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in low wage work. CEPR went on to conclude that the U.S. minimum wage was "too low to reduce the share of low-wage work". [Center for Economic and Policy Research, January 2012]
Socio-Economic Mobility Is Not Guaranteed For Low-Wage Workers
NELP: Entry-Level Workers "Going Nowhere Fast." In a July 2013 review of low-wage positions in the fast food industry titled "Going Nowhere Fast," the National Employment Law Project found that entry-level positions offered very little room for promotion or advancement. The study also concluded the fast food industry purposely engages in misinformation promoting a "mobility myth" to employees:
Despite what the data make clear about the barriers to upward mobility in the fast food industry, spokespersons for the industry and representatives from the major chains have collectively promoted a "mobility myth" that characterizes low-wage fast food jobs as springboards for advancement to managerial positions or opportunities to open a franchise [National Employment Law Project, July 2013]
BLS: Many Low-Wage Workers Experience Stagnant, Negative Earnings Potential Over Time. According to a July 2006 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the period 1995 to 2001, some permanently employed individuals were able to escape poverty through income gains in low-wage work, but significant numbers saw no income gains or experienced income losses. From the report:
These comparisons document the fact that, among low-income earners, many see significant gains in income that, if continued, will result in their escaping poverty. However, there is also a sizable component of this population for whom no, or even highly negative, earnings growth is evident, worsening over the long term. [Bureau of Labor Statistics, July 2006]
CEPR: Emphasis Must Be On Improving Low-Wage Conditions. Citing the expanding scale of low-wage jobs in the American workforce, the Center for Economic and Policy Research concluded in 2007 that policies should be directed toward improving that employment profile:
Given the prevalence of low-wage jobs without benefits in our labor market, and the likelihood that these sectors will grow rather than decline, some attention to the strategy of improving the jobs is critical to strengthening our economy and communities. Unless these jobs are improved, our nation will permanently consign a large portion of workers in the United States to bad jobs. [Center for Economic and Policy Research, August 2007]

Everyone doing research needs to evaluate the sources they use in their work. Some sources are more reliable than others. Not everything that is printed or on the internet is trustworthy; information can contain bias, be outdated, or contain inaccurate data. Learn more about evaluating sources here.
Evaluating Websites Website Evaluation Form
Considering the Source…
All sources, whether they are books or websites, need to be evaluated. You should consider the authority, accuracy and currency of every source before using it in your work.
What makes this author an authority on the subject?
In order to answer this question you will need to locate the name or names of the authors first. Try to see if there is any information included about the author(s) in the book, article, or website. Sometimes publishers will include biographical information that can tell you more about the author's credentials (their education, experience, publications, and other accomplishments). You can also try to find more information about the author or authors on the internet.
Is this information accurate?
This is a difficult question to answer, especially if you are not an expert in the field you are researching. A good way to check the accuracy of information is to take a look at the work's cited list of the source you are reviewing. The sources in the list can give you a better idea of the extent of the author's research. Another way to verify the accuracy of the information is to compare it to other sources written on the same topic. Are there discrepancies between the sources or are they compatible?
Is the information current?
Taking a look at the publication date will be the best way to answer this question. For online or electronic publications, there will most likely be two dates: the original date of publication and the electronic date of publication. Websites may be periodically updated. Locate the date of the last revision.
Another thing to consider about currency is how important it is to your topic of study. Currency will be essential for some topics and not as important for other topics. Primary documents, some of the most reliable sources, may not be current at all but may still prove to be reliable sources.
Evaluating the authority, accuracy, and currency of all sources is extremely important, but accurately evaluating websites needs a more critical approach. Publishing websites can be done by virtually anyone. There are no prerequisites to creating a website. There is no reviewing or editing process for websites. Many websites are created by reputable organizations which do include reviewing and editing before posting their information, but many do not. This means you have to do more work to determine whether or not the information on the website is reliable.
When evaluating websites consider…
Authority (Who?)
Who is responsible for this website? What are the author's credentials (education, experience, accomplishments, etc.)?
All websites have a creator. This may be an individual, group of people, or an organization. Most reputable websites will have an "About Us" link where you will be able to find out more about the creator or creators. You should be able to learn something about their education, experience, publications and accomplishments. If you cannot find any information on the creator of the website, it is probably not a reliable source.
Sponsor (Why?)
Why was this website created?

At Last, Just What We Need…
posted at 5:47 pm on October 22, 2009 by Dafydd ab Hugh
Let us take inventory of the last nine months (only as long as it takes to bring a baby into the world):
- Our president is driving the Crazy Train to national bankruptcy.
- He's hunting high and low for a way to lose two wars.
- He's appeasing our enemies and alienating our allies.
- He has as much as accepted Iran and North Korea building nuclear arsenals.
- Russia may be on the brink of resurrecting the Soviet Union, reconquering many of the countries whose liberty was the hard-fought victory of Ronald Reagan.
- Our Congress is scheming to take over the entire health-care system and ultimately transform it to single payer, using the British National Health Service as its model.
- Liberal Democrats are desperately trying to enact a stealth $3.6 trillion tax on all energy use, hoping to cripple American industry and the economy.
- The entire Left is trying to sneak gay marriage in through the back door.
- They're poised to grant full-blown amnesty — not a plea bargain, as Bush proposed, but actual amnesty — to millions and millions of illegal aliens.
- We may be about to see the American dollar dropped as the world's reserve currency.
But at least Democrats have found the key to everything, the most important thing they can do to restore the greatness of America, in the face of the imminent collapse of everything unique and wonderful about our country:
The House Financial Services Committee voted Thursday to create a federal agency devoted to protecting consumers from predatory lending, abusive overdraft fees and unfair rate hikes….
The legislation has been the target of an aggressive multimillion-dollar lobbying campaign by the financial industry, which contends that the agency would have dangerously broad reach.
Thursday's vote indicates that Democrats were willing to shrug off those concerns and are likely to pass the bill on the floor by the end of the year.
President Barack Obama said the vote "sends an important signal to the American people that we will not stand by and allow big financial firms and their lobbyists to mobilize against change."
Well thank goodness for the return of sanity! Everyone knows that when trouble threatens and the future seems dim, there is always a solution: Create a new federal agency.
Why didn't I think of that?

Figured I would post up some relevant Kansas news....and we wonder why people turn us down when we ask for permission to hunt a field.
My opinion is a $250 fine will teach this guy nothing...another reason why people who GUIDE as a business should be required to be licensed, so when they do something stupid like this they can have their license taken away!
I understand making a mistake and crossing a property line you thought you had permission on, but as a guide I feel this kind of thing should never happen, especially admitting you didn't have permission! Your suppose to "GUIDE" people on a legal hunt that's why they pay you, not GUIDE them into a possible lawsuit!
I have personally lost permission on property I had hunted for years due to this outfitter and their disrespect towards the land owner....and guess what now no one can hunt the property! Thanks again!
Been a while since ive posted, that felt kinda good!

text: Sherri had a good game going pre-merge, she had control of her tribe, but once the merge happened she did squat. Unfortunately for her, the end game far outweighs the early game. I do have to say that she did a good job of making sure she was around for the merge, because she easily could have been booted before then.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is of a real-life person, place, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
Surbiton Station is a railway station located in the Kingston borough in South London. There is a small café on one of the platforms. Surbiton is served by London commuter trains to London Waterloo, Woking, Guildford and Hampton Court as well as outer suburban trains to Alton and Basingstoke. From February 1996, all these rail services were operated by South West Trains.
This railway station was where Harry Potter read the Daily Prophet issue after Death Eaters' attack at the Millennium Bridge in July, 1996. Harry encountered a Muggle waitress that questioned him about the Daily Prophet and him being one of the headlines. The lady also flirted with Harry.
Behind the scenes
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this station is where Professor Dumbledore made an appearance to get Harry and bring him back to the Wizarding world.
- Harry is at Surbiton because he says he likes riding around on trains. Harry's choice of a train that travels through Surbiton gives an indication of Little Whinging's location within Surrey.

Denilson has extended his loan spell with Sao Paulo for the 2012/13 season.
The 24-year-old midfielder, who began his career at the club as an academy player, returned to Brazil last term for an initial 12-month spell during which he made a total of 47 appearances, helping the team to sixth place in the Brasileirao.
Denilson has played 153 times for the Gunners since making his debut in October 2006, but with opportunities for first-team football limited at Arsenal ahead of the 2011/12 season, he has returned to his boyhood club.
Everyone at Arsenal wishes Denilson well for his continued spell with Sao Paulo.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Academy scholar Jack Jebb has signed professional terms with the Club.
Jebb, a technically-gifted central midfielder, joined Arsenal's academy a year early and has reaped the rewards, making his breakthrough into the under-18 side last season. He played seven times and scored his first goal with a fine free-kick against Leicester City.
He has continued his progression this term, starting each of the under-18s' four games in the Premier Academy League.
Jebb has also claimed international honours, representing England at both under-16 and under-17 level.
Everyone at Arsenal would like to congratulate Jack on his first professional contract and looks forward to his continued progression with the Club.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Baltimore, MD 21235
Bureau of the Census
Washington, D.C. 20233
Bureau of the Census
Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Contractor sites:
Addresses may be obtained by writing to the system manager at the address below.
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
Samples of persons who are present or potential recipients of Social Security disability payments/benefits, including specifically selected subsets of each category; applicants/participants in State vocational rehabilitation programs; and samples of other persons regardless of status for purposes of comparison in the above categories.
Categories of records in the system:
Socioeconomic, demographic, medical and disability characteristics, attitudes, earnings and employment history, benefit information, and use of medical and rehabilitative services.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
Sections 1110 and 1115 of the Social Security Act and 13 U.S.C. § 182 for Census participation.
The purpose of this system is to collect data by the following methods: (1) extraction from program records (including records compiled at the State level); and (2) through surveys which may be augmented with program data.
Researchers and statisticians in SSA use the data to examine the medical, economic, and social consequences of limitations in work activity for the disabled person and his/her family; for program planning and evaluation; for evaluation of proposals for policy and legislative changes; for determination of the characteristics of program applicants and benefit recipients, etc.
Access to micro-data files with identifiers comprised of data from this system is limited to researchers and statisticians authorized by the SSA Office of Research, Evaluation and Statistics (ORES). Public-use tapes containing micro-data or tabulations are furnished on request by mail to public and private organizations.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosures may be made for routine uses as indicated below:
1) To a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record.
2) To a contractor under contract to SSA, or under contract to another agency with funds provided by SSA, for the performance of research and statistical activities directly related to this system of records.
3) Non-tax return information which is not restricted from disclosure by Federal law may be disclosed to the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for the purpose of conducting records management studies with respect to their duties and responsibilities under 44 U.S.C. § 2904 and § 2906, as amended by NARA Act of 1984.
4) We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in the system:
Records are stored in paper form (e.g., questionnaire forms and computer printouts) and in magnetic media (e.g., magnetic tapes and discs).
Files are indexed by SSN or by SSA assigned case numbers. Files based on Census sample populations are indexed by Census assigned case numbers. These numbers are cross-referred at Census to SSNs which are available only to Census employees or SSA staff who are Census special-sworn employees.
Safeguards are established in accordance with the Systems Security Handbook. Employees having access to records have been notified of criminal sanctions for unauthorized disclosure of information about individuals.
Magnetic tapes or other files with personal identifiers are retained in secured storage areas accessible only to authorized personnel.
Micro-data files prepared for purposes of research and analysis are purged of personal identifiers and are subject to procedural safeguards to assure anonymity. (See Appendix G to this publication for additional information relating to safeguards SSA employs to protect personal information.)
Retention and disposal:
Hard copy questionnaires are destroyed when survey reports are completed. Records with identifiers are held in secure storage areas and are disposed of as soon as they are determined to be no longer needed for SSA analysis. Means of disposal are appropriate to the record storage medium; e.g., erasure of tapes, shredding of printouts, etc. Periodic reviews are made to determine the need for retention.
In longitudinal studies, working files are purged of identifiers and given randomly assigned case numbers. A separate link file is maintained in secure storage areas for updating with individual identifiers.
System manager(s) and address:
Social Security Administration
Associate Commissioner
Office of Research
Evaluation and Statistics
9th Floor,
ITC Building
500 E Street, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20254-0001
Notification procedure:
This system contains limited data selected for statistical analysis. Individuals inquiring about their records in SSA programs may wish to contact other SSA systems which contain more detailed information.
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the systems manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification, such as a voter registration card, credit card, etc. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR § 401.40).
Record access procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Except in transitory stages of preparation, files at SSA which are based on Census samples do not have personal identifiers, and cannot be located on an individual basis. Records with identifiers maintained at the Bureau of Census are considered by Census to be exempt from access. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.40(c)).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Also, requesters should reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and state the corrective action sought and the reasons for the correction with supporting justification showing how the record is untimely, incomplete, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR 401.65(a)).
Record source categories:
Records are derived from other SSA systems (e.g., the Earnings Records System (60-0059), Claims Folders System (60-0089) (disability case folders), and Master Beneficiary Record (60-0090)); survey data collected by contractors; case service reports of the vocational rehabilitation agencies (R-300); the SSA OHA Records Locator; the Health Insurance Master Files (09-70-0502) of HCFA; and the SSA Administrative Awards File. Bureau of the Census records may be used as a sampling frame.

Casa Argentina de Houston and the University of St. Thomas Center for International Studies will host "The Night of Blue, White and Pink: A Tribute to Mercedes Sosa, World Famous Folk Singer" at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 22, on the UST campus in Jones Hall, 3910 Yoakum.
The Barandúa band, voted Best Latin American Folk Music Band at Houston's Latin American Festival, will perform Sosa's music and other selections. Band members include Patricia Gras, vocals and percussion; María Francisca González Rimbau , vocals and guitar; Martín Whittaker, bass guitar; Diego Ledezma , percussion; Luis Montes de Oca , zampoña; Carlos González, vocals, guitar and Gerardo Sanchez, bandoneón.
Sosa, who died in 2009, was one of the most well-known singers from Argentina. She sang folklore, songs of protest and social concern that were inspired by her native heritage and her roots in the provinces. In the 1970s her songs were censored by the military dictatorship ruling Argentina. She went into exile in 1979 until 1982 when the dictatorship ended.
Sosa performed in venues such as the Lincoln Center in New York City, the Théâtre Mogador in Paris and the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, as well as sell-out shows in New York's Carnegie Hall and the Roman Coliseum during her final decade of life. Her career spanned four decades and she has been the recipient of several Grammy awards and nominations, including three nominations which will be decided posthumously. She served as an ambassador for UNICEF.
The recital will benefit Pink Ribbons Project supporting women affected by breast cancer. Admission is $20. Appetizers and refreshments will be available for sale. To purchase tickets, visit casargentina.org or call 713-622-2212.

http://belfercenter.hks.harvard.edu/events/rudd_1125.html The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Director's Lunch with Hon. Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia, in the Belfer Center Library (L369). Kevin Rudd served as Australia's 26th Prime Minister from 2007 until 2010 and again in 2013 for 11 weeks. During the interim years from 2010 to 2012, he was the Australian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Rudd was elected as Leader of the Labor Party in 2006, the third Labor leader to win the position from the opposition since World War II. As Prime Minister, Mr. Rudd led Australia's response during the global financial crisis. Australia was the only major advanced economy to avoid a recession, in large part due to the Australian Government's policy response, which the OECD/IMF assessed as one of the most effective in the world. Mr. Rudd is internationally recognized as one of the founders of the G20, the premier global economic decision-making institution. He is recognized as a major driving force behind the 2010 decision to expand the East Asia Summit to include the United States in this important regional institution. This was a major step forward in realizing his longer term vision for an Asian Pacific Community, first proposed in 2008. As Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mr. Rudd also oversaw the doubling of Australian foreign aid over five years, making Australia the seventh largest aid donor in the world. Mr. Rudd remains engaged in major international challenges including global economic management, the rise of China, and the global commitment to sustainable development. He co-authored the 2012 report from the United Nations Secretary General's High Level Panel on Global Sustainability, titled "Resilient People, Resilient Planet." Nationally, he remains deeply engaged with questions concerning Australia's strategic and economic future in Asia, aboriginal reconciliation, the teaching of Asian languages, homelessness, and organ donation. As space is limited for this event, RSVPs will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. Belfer Center Lunches are strictly off-the-record. By requesting to attend the lunch, you agree that you will comply with the Belfer Center's strict policy against recording or disclosing the contents of the lunch. Your access is conditioned on your compliance with these restrictions. Should you violate these rules, the Center will pursue all available legal options and you will be excluded from all future events.
