Ray LaHood, in full Raymond H. LaHood, (born December 6, 1945, Peoria, Illinois, U.S.), American politician who served as a Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives (1995–2009) before becoming U.S. secretary of transportation (2009–13) in the administration of Democratic Pres. Barack Obama.
LaHood grew up in the Peoria, Illinois, area, and he earned a bachelor's degree in education and sociology from Bradley University in 1971. He worked as a teacher and as an urban planner before entering politics in 1977 as an aide to U.S. Rep. Thomas Railsback. In 1982 LaHood finished the term of a retiring Illinois state representative, but he was unsuccessful in his bid to win the seat outright. The following year he joined the staff of U.S. House of Representatives minority leader Robert Michel, a career politician who was known for his ability to broker deals that crossed party lines. He was named Michel's chief of staff in 1990, and, upon Michel's retirement in 1994, LaHood was elected to fill his mentor's vacant congressional seat.
Although LaHood took office as a Republican when that party's congressional fortunes were on the rise, he distanced himself from party leaders such as Newt Gingrich, and he was one of a handful of Republicans who refused to sign Gingrich's "Contract with America," a document outlining legislation to be enacted by the House within the first 100 days of the 104th Congress. Nonetheless, in 1998 Republican leadership selected LaHood to chair the House impeachment proceedings against Pres. Bill Clinton. Observers agreed that LaHood brought an element of impartiality and civility to the proceedings, and these traits characterized the rest of his term in Congress. He served on the House transportation and appropriations committees, and he secured funding for a number of infrastructure improvement projects in his district.
In 2007 LaHood announced that he would not run for reelection. The following year he was selected by Obama to head the Department of Transportation, and he was confirmed by the Senate in January 2009. He stepped down from the post in 2013.

The area's No. 9 ranked teams continue a daily look at the Express-News preseason rankings. Coincidentally, the No. 9 Class 5A team is coach Matt Elliott's old school, Southwest, and the No. 9 Sub-5A team is his new school, New Braunfels Canyon.
Full rankings will run in Sunday's E-N high school football preview.
Class 5A
No. 9 Southwest.
No. 10 Clark.
No. 9 New Braunfels Canyon.
No. 10 Central Catholic
When he first explained the gravity of replacing coach Matt Elliott at Southwest, Pete Wagner compared it to being the guy who replaced John Elway.
Except Wagner might hope to be remembered more than Elway's successor Brian Griese is in Denver.
Wagner, 31, is one of the area's youngest 5A head coaches. He came to Southwest with Elliott in 2006 and was offensive coordinator of a team that averaged 265 rushing yards per game last season.
His biggest asset might be keeping continuity at Southwest. When Elliott left after posting a 38-9 record with the Dragons, he took much of his coaching staff with him.
With Wagner, Dragon players have a familiar face who plans to keep most of the pieces and plays that Elliott proved were a winning formula.
Key player: RB Orrin Peterman has to step in as the replacement for Tre'vion Johnson, who rushed for 1,269 yards and 22 TDs last season.
Peterman, a 5-11, 205 pound senior, had impressive moments last season when Johnson had to miss time because of an injury, rushing for 606 yards and 8 TDs.
He's a different type of runner than Johnson, a straight-ahead guy who invites contact. Peterman's success will hinge on how well he uses his offensive line and waits for holes to open. He doesn't have the same break-away speed, but can be the workhorse the Dragons will need him to be.
Under the radar: TE/DL Herbert Gonzales was the District 29-5A Defensive MVP last season, but he didn't get the same level of recognition as other defensive leaders such as Brandeis' Cody Rogers. Part of that is the majority of the focus on Southwest often being on its rushing offense. Part is the fact that Southwest was the only area team in 29-5A, and not too many people got to watch the Dragons play.
Question mark: Southwest had one playoff victory all-time before Elliott arrived, then won four postseason games under him. Three of them came against Valley teams.
Wagner said Southwest players feel there's a lack of respect for what they've accomplished for the past two seasons because they were arguably in a weaker district with a smoother playoff path. With a move to 28-5A, the Dragons won't get those Valley matchups in the first round anymore, and will face a team from the Northside ISD in bidistrict. The Dragons can earn their respect this season.
New Braunfels Canyon
Consider this to be the Matt Elliott blog post. He takes over a Canyon team that was 3-7 last season. That doesn't fly so well in New Braunfels, especially when New Braunfels High went to the state semifinals and beat the Cougars 69-2 in last year's Wurst Bowl.
Enter Elliott, who will change things up at Canyon immediately. Last year's spread offense is gone, and a more back-to-basics style offense will be installed.
It probably speaks to both the reputation of Canyon and Elliott that a team coming off a 3-7 season with a new coach is even ranked.
Elliott swears he is no miracle worker, but is confident that Canyon is a playoff team.
In a district with Smithson Valley, Alamo Heights, Clemens and Hays, he'll make a splash if Canyon gets to the postseason.
Key player: Matt Elliott. I kid, but since much of this season revolves around Elliott's changes, it makes the key player a guy like Donovan Wright, who is switching from wide receiver to running back this season. He caught 20 passes all of last year. He might get 20 touches in the Cougars' first game if he's running well.
Under the radar: DL/TE Tanner Hill. Hill, a 6-1, 235 pound junior, was the 2010 Express-News newcomer of the year in baseball. He's the type of player who could thrive in the new system as a two-way player who can use size to open up holes in a zone-blocking scheme as an athletic tight end.
Question mark: How many mentions of Matt Elliott in one blog posting constitute overkill? The answer is probably 13.

I understand your problem with expanding the ranks; you've probably already considered buying some other torso's along with parts that fit your colour scheme, it could make a nice whole if you can find the right combination.

Sheriff Joe: I'll Arrest Immigration Protesters
Dressed up to depict Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Jorge Mendez joins dozens to protest the SB1070 Arizona immigration law in front of U.S. District Court. (AP)
Associated Press/AP Online via YellowBrix
July 28, 2010
WASHINGTON – The sheriff of the most populous county in Arizona says he's "not going to put up with any civil disobedience" when the state's new immigration law takes effect.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says that if protesters want to block his jail, he'll put them in it.
The Arizona law, which takes effect Thursday, requires officers enforcing other laws to check a person's immigration status if they suspect the person is in the country illegally.
Arpaio told ABC's "Good Morning America" he doesn't know "what the big hype is."
He says it's "a crime to be here illegally and everyone should enforce" the law.

The U.S. housing market recovery is gaining some traction, "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer says, at least if recent data are any indicators.
New home sales increased 3.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted 343,000-unit annual rate, the Commerce Department said last week. Compared to April last year, sales were up 9.9 percent.
Meanwhile, existing home sales rose 3.4 percent to an annual rate of 4.62 million units in April to their highest in almost two years, the National Association of Realtors reported last week. To Cramer, the results were nothing short of astonishing.
The Realtors association also indicated that "a diminishing share of foreclosed property sales is helping home values." It also said "an acute shortage of inventory in certain markets is leading to multiple biddings and escalating price conditions," with tight supply in Miami, Naples, Fla., Phoenix, and Orange County, Calif.
"Nothing speaks more strongly of a turn than when the hardest-hit areas are now not only back, but in incredible demand," Cramer said.
Toll Brothers, the largest U.S. builder of luxury homes, also recently posted earnings that beat expectations. It delivered a second-quarter profit of 10 cents per share, above analyst estimates of 3 cents. The homebuilder saw a 14 percent jump in home deliveries thanks to a strong spring selling season, which is seen as a sign of a housing market recovery.
To play the potential housing turnaround, though, Cramer doesn't recommend buying homebuilder stocks, because they have already had a huge run. Instead, he's attracted to home improvement plays that pay you to wait for the rebound to kick into full gear. Read on for his preferred plays.

Mr. Speaker, Canadian veterans travelled to the Netherlands last week to commemorate their role in the country's liberation during the second world war. Our veterans were treated like royalty and honoured by Dutch citizens, both young and old.
It is clear to see that the Dutch do not take their freedom for granted. Even after 65 years, they continue to honour the memory of the thousands who lost their lives fighting oppression. They continue to celebrate the veterans who are still alive today.
I can certainly understand their appreciation. My father and his family were in Holland during World War II. My father used to tell me stories of when Canadians liberated him and his family and their country. There were celebrations in the streets, just like there were last week.
I look forward to Princess Margriet's official visit to Canada tomorrow, which will highlight the historic ties and the continued co-operation between our two countries.
As the years go by and the war moves further into our past, we must never grow indifferent to the cost of freedom.

KDE e.V. Hardware Fundraiser Week
It's hot and you're melting? The KDE.org hardware infrastructure owned by KDE e.V. is melting as well! Out of the desperate need to upgrade our current disk RAID, we need new hard drives. If you have visited bugs.kde.org any time the last couple of months, you've noticed that this site often responds extremely sluggish. To improve the situation, we need to employ a new server, but need some more money for the hard drives for this beast! If you can help us with that, please consider to donate to the fundraiser. All amounts happily accepted through Paypal and other means.
Open up the wallets people...
Hooray for some spiffy new hardware!
Everyone, give what you can, its easy. Even the damn near broke (*raises hand*) can give a little bit.
e.V. guys, what about adding some Google Checkout as another option for those who don't want to use PayPal? Just a thought. Good luck with the fundraising!
By Joseph M. Gaffn... at Wed, 2006/07/19 - 5:00am
Re: Open up the wallets people...
Or a "KDE fellowhip". FSFE seems to have success here.
By Itchy at Wed, 2006/07/19 - 5:00am
I sent 10 euros. Not much, but I assumed you'd do the same, then it'll be enough.
By me at Wed, 2006/07/19 - 5:00am
If it's for KDE, you don't need to ask twice
I recognize I don't use to donate to free software projects, but if it's for KDE, you don't need to ask for it twice. :) So I've already added my contribution. I hope you can easily reach the ammount and get new good hardware for the server. Good luck!

Another way to help
Could another way to help could be to use kbugbuster app instead of a web browser?
In theory this should make the server less busy (no need to present the data and the interface, only actual data has to be sent).
By Jaroslaw Staniek at Thu, 2006/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: Another way to help
IIRC, kbugbuster just does screen scraping of the page, so it will still place the same load on the server as loading a page from bugs.kde.org.
By Matt Rogers at Thu, 2006/07/20 - 5:00am
Re: Another way to help
Matt, except you can perform many actions offline and then "commit" the changes in one go, at least it looks as such for me.
kbugbuster supporting SOAP or so looks like appealing idea to me... The app could be a bit improved for usability and then connectede to "report a bug" menu item by default in KDE4...
By Jaroslaw Staniek at Thu, 2006/07/20 - 5:00am
Time to give something back :)
As a very happy KDE user, I have absolutely no problem with a little donation. The KDE software is far better than any of the software I've bought while still using Windows. Good luck with pimping up the server!
By Bouke Woudstra at Thu, 2006/07/20 - 5:00am
Of Course!
I donated also a little bit. Please keep on donating. I'm sure any extra money sent to the e.V. will not be wasted, even if the new server is already bought!
Right Eva? Keep it going! :)
By David at Thu, 2006/07/20 - 5:00am
Me too :)
Just a little donation of 10 euros... Kde deserves even more, I know.. :-)

First FOSS donation
I usually donate ~100 e per year for various human rights & environmental organizations (Amnesty, Friends of Earth, etc). That's notable amount of money for a student like me. I've never donated to free software movement, although been using FOSS for several years. So, today I made my first donation to KDE. Hope it will help to make the world a better place :-)

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 30, 2013) – Under first-year head coach Brittney Ezell, the ETSU women's basketball team officially kicked off preseason practice Monday evening inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center.
This season, the Buccaneers return nine players from the 2012-13 squad. Among the returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighting this group is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder senior Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Amidst a seasoned group of veteran players, ETSU also welcomes three freshmen guards who will try to help bolster the backcourt for the Blue and Gold.
After a long summer of offseason workouts and conditioning, the Buccaneers will continue the fall with full workouts leading up to the start of the season. ETSU will begin game action this season with a home exhibition matchup against Shepherd University on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Be sure to check out Coach Ezell's video comments before Monday's practice as well as video action and a photo gallery of the workouts. Also, for more information on the 2013-14 ETSU women's basketball team check out the quick facts link on the page.
Stay tuned to ETSUBucs.com and the women's hoops link for more on ETSU women's basketball leading up to the season.

"Ethanol has become the single most important value-added market for American grain farmers, stimulating investment in agricultural technology and enhancing economic opportunities for rural communities across the country," Bob Dinneen, president and CEO, Renewable Fuels Association (RFA), wrote in a letter this week to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Dinneen's letter was a response to questions posed in the second white paper, "Agricultural Sector Impacts," as part of the Committee's review of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). For details, download the second white paper here (PDF).
The ethanol industry, Dinneen pointed out, has transformed the grain sector "from a stagnating, surplus-driven marketplace to one that is vibrant, high-tech, and demand-driven." He added, "As a result, the net impacts of the RFS and ethanol production on the agriculture sector have been decidedly positive, and U.S. meat output and retail food prices have not been adversely affected."
In the letter, Dinneen answered nine questions on topics ranging from commodity prices, job creation, RFS flexibility, food prices, future cellulosic benefits and the impact on global agriculture production and land use.
At the outset, Dineen stressed that the RFS "is absolutely essential for stimulating future demand and driving investment in the next generation of feedstocks and biofuels." He noted, "Without the RFS to drive future growth in renewable fuels, production and use of renewable fuels would stagnate or regress due to 1) the resistance of refiners to produce and sell gasoline blends with greater than 10% ethanol, and 2) abandonment of investments in advanced and cellulosic biofuels due to the lack of market certainty. As a result, consumers would be denied the additional economic and environmental benefits associated with greater ethanol use."
Dinneen also wrote that it would be counterproductive for the House Committee to examine only the potential impacts of a single transportation energy option like renewable fuels in isolation from other energy options, such as unconventional petroleum. "Petroleum demand and prices also have important effects on U.S. agricultural and food markets. Every step of the food supply chain is reliant on petroleum products—from the use of diesel fuel in farm machinery, to the use of natural gas in food processing plants, to the use of plastics in food packaging, to the use of gasoline and diesel fuel to transport food to the grocery store or restaurant.
"The correlation coefficient between global food prices and global oil prices since 2000 has been 0.92, which indicates a near-perfect relationship (1.0 is a perfect correlation).We understand that the economic effects of petroleum dependence are outside of the scope of the Committee's current initiative, but biofuels should not be considered in a vacuum," Dinneen wrote.
Dineen added, "There is no credible evidence whatsoever to support the notion that the RFS is adversely affecting consumer food prices. Indeed, food price inflation has been falling since the RFS was enacted, and Americans are spending less on food than any time in history."
The RFA included a chart indicating that there is no correlation between rising ethanol production and food prices.

Keep your eyes peeled for Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. The two actors will be in Miami Friday through Tuesday filming I Love You Phillip Morris, due out in 2009.
Some scenes are being shot in Hollywood, others in Miami Beach, where Carrey lives it up.
A casting call for extras was held seeking ''good-looking, physically fit men,'' yet some spots are still available. Casting director Lori Wyman says that you ``should be gay or OK with kissing another man on camera.''
''This movie is something new for Jim Carrey,'' Wyman says. ``It should be an interesting challenge.''
If interested, contact her at Lori Wyman Casting, 305-354-3901.

Well, I was doing the keybed as part of a much larger refit including MIDI. So, I bought a Fatar Keybed off Keyparts UK (http://www.keyparts.co.uk/) as well as their keybed scanning electronics (which output MIDI). Internal to my synth, I jacked the MIDI from the keybed scanner into my Polysix's MIDI controller.
If you haven't MIDI'fied your Polysix, it'll be harder to do....you'd need a keybed with the same kind of keyscanning connections as the stock keybed. You'd have to dive into a bunch of schematics to find that out.

you drain your hot warm cum in my tight little hole. Ohhh, yeah, fuck
I also love dirty men.
Who want my fingers in them, to try my panties on, maybe a dildo or my strap
on. I love to get nasty and make you cum harder than you ever have !!!
I know just how to do you, by putting
your cock in my mouth and while I'm working you with my wet lips I'll slip my little finger inside your
ass, deep throat you and wiggle it just
a bit. Mmm, cum for me baby, I want your cum in my mouth while I
fuck you with my hot little fingers.....

loves REAL women, not these little girls askin for cash. One who gets
excited over the sandalwood scent on my caramel skin. Who thinks my 6
pack stomach and ample ass are kickin. Not to mention my big gorgeous
breasts, and my pretty face. I need a man who wants more than a faked
orgasm or two.
need a man who loves to make a
vocal ebony beauty moan and writhe and squirt. I want you to touch me all
over, kiss me all over, get to know all my hot spots and what makes me
soaking wet. Just looking at that cock getting hard gets me wet, want
me to show you how badly I need you deep inside?

Gaffes, Cell Phones and Social Media (Guest Voice)
Gaffes, Cell Phones and Social Media
by Carl Golden
If you've ever gotten caught up in watching one of those 1940's spy movies on cable television, you're familiar with the scene in which the two agents meet in a seedy hotel room in the dark of night to exchange secrets and, when one of them starts to talk, the other warns: "Sssh, even the walls have ears."
In today's political campaign environment, not only do the walls have ears, but they possess video ready cell phones or miniature tape recorders poised to capture a candidate who, thinking he's mingling with a friendly crowd, unburdens himself with off the cuff insights into sensitive or emotionally-charged issues.
Mitt Romney's observation offered this week to an audience of donors that 47 per cent of Americans don't pay Federal income taxes and believe the government owes them food, clothing and shelter is but the latest example of unguarded rhetoric that erupts into a major campaign headache.
In 2008, then candidate Sen. Obama expressed his view— again to a group of contributors — that people angry with government seek refuge in guns, religion and anti-immigrant beliefs, suggesting that they are intellectually incapable of dealing with complex issues.
Obama survived that blow-up and it's likely Romney will be able to douse the fire he ignited with his comments and move on to safer ground by reminding Americans that, by nearly all measures, the economy remains dismal, the country's future is equally dismal, it's all the President's fault, and he's just the guy who can fix it.
Just as it did to Obama four years ago, though, Romney's campaign was knocked off stride and off message, forced to spend a precious few dwindling days dealing with another distraction and fending off the President's campaign allegations that Romney, with his privileged background and life experience, proved yet again he's out of touch with the realities of life for many Americans.
The episode, however, should serve as additional evidence that there is no longer any place to hide, that there is no refuge or escape from high technology intrusion into what once was considered safe territory where a candidate could relax and where stream of consciousness thinking didn't get beyond the walls.
It should remind candidates and campaign staffs alike that not only is there someone — or more than one someone — in the room who understands that there is profit to be had in capturing potentially embarrassing video or audio of a candidate and peddling the material to the highest bidder.
Whether the magazine Mother Jones which published and posted Romney's comments on line paid for the tapes isn't clear, but its' liberal bent made it an obvious choice to receive the leak. There was certainly no journalistic enterprise involved, no dogged reportorial labor to unearth the information.
Unguarded comments are, of course, nothing particularly new in political campaigns, but the entire landscape has been forever altered by the instant and global reach of social media and internet communication.
For instance, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's confrontation with a heckler on a seaside boardwalk this summer became an immediate internet must-see. Such episodes are not confined to politicians, either. The chief of coverage of the Republican convention in August for Yahoo was fired after he was caught on an open microphone saying that Romney was happily partying while black people were drowning in floods produced by Hurricane Isaac. But for his words zipping around the nation and being heard by millions, he may have survived.
In the past, if a candidate stumbled, uttered smarmy comments, or misstated facts, his gaffe was reported in print and usually overtaken by other events in a day or two. Now, the blunders are up on YouTube forever, in the twitter universe for eternity, and filed within easy reach on Google.
It is increasingly difficult for a candidate or campaign to cast doubt on allegations of unbecoming conduct by claiming comments were taken out of context, distorted, or deliberately misrepresented. When the image is on screen and the words clearly audible on tape, the odds of offering a credible rebuttal are nil.
Perhaps Romney's description of an entitlement society or Obama's guns and religion complaint offer a glimpse into their thinking, but there are just as likely to have been the product of the frustration, fatigue and tension which settle over campaigns.
No matter, even the walls have ears.

posted by robertmh, Fri 29 Jan 2010 03:56:38 PM UTC - 1 reply
AMD64 builds of WineD3D are now provided. Keep in mind AMD64 support in Wine is still experimental.
They have been built using standard GNU toolchain (binutils 2.20, GCC 4.4) and the C runtime from mingw-w64 project (http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/).
posted by robertmh, Fri 17 Apr 2009 07:04:57 PM UTC - 0 replies
Latest release of VirtualBox (2.2.0) seems to introduce a critical regression affecting WineD3D code. The regression is in the ICD driver (guest side), so it only takes effect when upgrading to latest Guest Additions (or when installing Guest Additions from VirtualBox 2.2.0).
Users are advised to avoid upgrading Guest Additions if they want WineD3D to continue working, untill this problem is resolved.

ROME (Reuters Life!) - Italian police said on Thursday they had found a fitting temporary home for an accused jewelry robber whose priestly disguise failed to help him slip past their dragnet.
Police said they tracked down and arrested the 37-year-old male suspect by reviewing closed circuit television footage around Via del Corso and Via Condotti, the swanky shopping district near the Spanish Steps, after a July 4th hold-up at one of Rome's most prestigious jewelry shops.
Video footage released by Italian police showed a man dressed in the floor-length black cassock and round, wide brimmed black hat commonly worn by priests of the Roman Catholic Church until the 1960s and still favored by traditionalists.
The footage showed the man was carrying a shopping bag and moving confidently through a crowd of shoppers after the heist, in which two employees were locked in a bathroom.
Police have detained the suspect in the Queen of Heaven jail on the Tiber River not far from the pope's Vatican headquarters.

Kenworthy Chiropractic and Wellness
My name is Stephen Kenworthy. I have recently graduated from chiropractic college. I am opening a practice in Chandler, AZ. I have an undergraduate degreee in Athletic Training. I will be renting space from an established chiropractor so I am looking for a logo that will catch the future patient's eye in a unique way.
I am planning on focusing on high school athletes and TMJ (jaw dysfunction) patients. Many of the TMJ patients will have an active background such as boxing, MMA, and football.
I have been thinking of using a script K at the beginning of the name. I envision making it look like a person that is running while still keeping the main focus on the K so that people will know that it is the start of the name.

Editor: I would like to say how thankful I am for uptown Lexington. I think we have a great uptown area.
Editor: I would like to say how thankful I am for uptown Lexington. I think we have a great uptown area.
I have fond memories of when I was a child going to town with my mom shopping at stores such as Rayless, Macks, W.T. Grant among others. Our little town was bustling back then. But as happens so many times, a lot of stores close down after having been in business for a long time. After all, things can't stay the same forever.
But I am glad to see in the last few years that our little town is bustling once again. Maybe not as much as it was in the old days, but it has got a lot of activity now, even at night, because of the restaurants staying open later.
Now we have a lot of great stores from consignments to antiques and everything in between. We also have some great restaurants downtown also. I love to go to town when they have the Summer Strolls and sit outside and eat supper and then walk up and down the street and look in all the stores and also look at the classic cars when they are there.
I have been through other towns sometimes when we go on vacation, and some of them look like ghost towns. I think Uptown Lexington has done a good job in promoting the business atmosphere in Lexington. I am thankful for the town of Lexington, especially the restaurants, because we love to eat out, and I hope it continues to thrive like it is now. I'm looking forward to the Summer Strolls this year.

You might post this on the AskAdmissionsConsultants thread. This is a good question, I have seen in industry period that employers are sometimes hesitant to hire people who have been out of the work force for a long period of time. That said, in the case of traditional LS students/grads, law firms may be used to hiring people who were never really part of the work force to begin with. ?
good school + good grades = probably not a problemthis site: http://ms-jd.org/might be of interest to you--you might want to contact them with your questions.
FWIW. one of my mentors is a senior partner at a Biglaw firm. When we last chatted, he told me that firms will be very interested in hiring me because I'm not going to leave to raise children or want the "mommy track." (I'll be 40 this fall; 43 when I graduate with my JD; my kids are now 17 and 10).The conventional wisdom among his partners was that many of the women coming out of LS were highly talented and while they loved hiring them, they also feared losing them a few years later when they leave or reduce their schedule. The fact that this would not be an issue with me is a huge bonus .... all of the talent, none of the risk.(also goes to show how family-UNfriendly law still is)

There is a good reason why Argentina's flag sports a shining sun. At present, Argentina only produces about 10MW of solar power, but that figure is soon about to receive a giant boost as the country plans to increase its capacity by 35 times and the government begins to hand out incentives to private companies. International developers are looking to the western regions where projects are estimated to produce over twice the amount of energy coming from solar in Germany, the world's current market leader. The plans would assist in the efforts of President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to increase the amount of energy generated by renewables from 2 percent to 8 percent by 2013.
In total, Argentina is hoping to produce 3,000 MW from clean energy, where 10 percent could come from solar. The country may have some trouble finding international capital as the nation defaulted on its debts in 2001 and so far has been relying on domestic funding for energy projects. The country also claims a rate of inflation of about 11.1 percent, but could in reality be as high as 26 percent.
However, regulation passed in 2011 allows developers to negotiate premium tariffs with the Argentine government and grid operators, and officials are working out long-term contracts with power plants on a case-by-case basis. The policy changes have attracted companies such as China's Sky Solar Holdings Co. which has joined Enarsa to build a 20 MW complex in San Juan for $70 million. Spain's Solaria Energia & Medio Ambiente SA and Argentine developer Aldar SA also have similar ambitions.
Four out of 11 projects have been approved, are funded, and waiting for a tariff to be granted before beginning construction. These include arrays by Sky Solar and Solaria. Many of these undertakings will be split into 5MW solar parks with tariffs of $200 to $400 per MWh. As the third largest economy in South America behind Brazil and Colombia, Argentina has enormous potential to create a thriving renewable energy industry.

New London school system sees High Road program as a plus
New London - With the genesis of a program for students with behavioral issues or emotional disabilities, the New London school system says it has a foundation for bringing "outplaced" students back to the district and eventually saving some money.
The High Road program, which launched at the start of this school year, serves 18 students in two classrooms - one for students in grades six through eight and another for grades nine through 12 - at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School.
Specialized Education Services Inc. (SESI), a for-profit special and alternative education provider that operates more than 55 schools in 11 states, runs the High Road program in New London as well as others in Norwalk, Wallingford and Hartford.
"We serve students that have not been successful in a general education setting," said Brooke Violante, chief administrator of High Road programs in Connecticut. "These students have demonstrated a need for a more structured setting coupled with a therapeutic milieu and additional academic and therapeutic support."
The classrooms use a rotation model, in which the students move from workstation to workstation around the classroom every 20 minutes. At one station, a student might work with the teacher on a lesson and at the next work independently on a computer-based tutorial session, Violante said.
"That change during the day, every 20 minutes, kind of releases them from the monotony you often see with students," she said. "That's when you lose their attention, and they're not actually learning."
The program utilizes two teachers, two teacher's assistants, a social worker and five other faculty members. The staff is employed by High Road, not the New London school system.
Now that the High Road program is in place, New London school officials plan to move it to Harbor School on Montauk Avenue, which will allow them to expand the number of students the program serves and find cost savings by enrolling students from other cities or towns.
"Our notion is to have our own students there, plus to bring in students from out of district, which will help us cover the costs," Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer said in announcing the move last month. "This is a great opportunity for us to bring students closer to home, but obviously there are real financial benefits as well."
Before the program can move, Harbor School, which has been vacant since June 30, needs to be renovated. The renovations have not yet begun but are expected to be completed by November and will be paid for by the High Road program, Fischer said.
High Road and New London's school system came together in February, when Fischer and Director of Student Services Miriam Taylor asked SESI to conduct an assessment of the existing program.
"High Road came to New London basically to provide some assistance as partners with the program we had," Taylor said. "We were doing a lot with our students, but we needed a more structured setting and a highly structured program to support the students."
Once the program does move to Harbor School, it can be expanded to include about 50 students from New London and surrounding communities, officials said.
"What I would like to see is that we open a K-12 program to support all students at all ages," Taylor said. "We have little ones that sometimes we have to send out of district because of behavior issues. My intention is to design a K-12 program to support all the students in district."
A student's participation in the High Road program is not permanent, Taylor said. The goal is for students eventually to be in the public school.
"Once they go to High Road, the idea is to support them and equip them with strategies and give them a way to come back to the mainstream and succeed, not just academically, but behaviorally, too," she said.
Further down the road, officials said, the district hopes to use Harbor School as a student services center for students with autism. It might also be used for those who have been expelled from another school.
In his report to the State Board of Education in September, special master Steven Adamowski noted a pressing need for the district to "develop and house high-quality programs for many special education students who are currently outplaced."

MIDDLEBURY — An Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) committee will spend the next three months studying the feasibility of offering a second-language program to students throughout the seven-town school district.
Most students in the ACSU currently do not have access to second language instruction until grade 8, though Weybridge Elementary currently operates a successful Spanish program. Officials at Mary Hogan Elementary in Middlebury are also now exploring the prospect of offering a second language.
STARKSBORO — A Starksboro family is coping in the wake of the loss of their home to a fire on Monday, Sept. 19.
Eric Cota, a longtime employee of the Bristol Road Department and a volunteer firefighter, his wife Catina and their two children, Matthew and Jordyn, were not injured in the fire, but the family lost their two dogs, Rascal and Sheba, to the blaze.

MIDDLEBURY — The president of eCorp English acknowledged on Thursday that her company's Middlebury launch has been slowed by low cash flow and a major loan agreement that fell apart, but said a recent infusion of new money and the imminent unveiling of its new software product should right eCorp's ship and put it back on schedule to becoming a major employer in the area.
"The message is, 'We are not going belly-up, we are not leaving Middlebury,'" said Deborah Schwarz, founder and president of eCorp English.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Central Supervisory Union's former business manager is suing her past employer, claiming — among other things — that she was bullied by the district's top executive and then placed on administrative leave after she complained about his behavior.
Sharon L. Stearns, who served as ACSU business manager for nine years prior to resigning last spring, filed her four-count civil suit in Rutland County Superior Court on Sept. 13.
BRISTOL — At a selectboard meeting Monday, town officials in Bristol were tallying up the aftermath of Tropical Storm Irene, exploring plans for more infrastructure repairs and discussing how much help they could get from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"All the roads are back open and we're working with FEMA to put in all of our costs," said Chairman Joel Bouvier.
But exactly what those costs will add up to is still unknown.
VERGENNES — In a midseason match-up on Saturday of two high school boys' soccer teams off to promising starts, visiting Mount Abraham prevailed, 4-0, over shorthanded Vergennes.
Coach Mike Corey's Eagles moved to 2-1-2 by scoring twice in each half and dominating the second half, while Coach Kevin Hayes' Commodores dropped to 3-2-1.
BRANDON — A vendor at the Brandon Farmers Market was hit by a car while crossing the street recently.
Lyn Garro, 63, of Leicester was crossing Carver Street near Central Park at about 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, when police say she was hit by a car. Garro sells baked goods at the farmers market, which is held every Friday from May until Oct. 7. 9 a.m.- 2 p.m.

The Rotary Telephone, the Cock-Eyed Photograph, & the Little Table with Twisted Legs
Do you remember rotary dial telephones? I'm sure some of you do.... Those old telephones were black and heavy, and they limited how far from the phone one could move when talking because the cord connecting the phone to the wall was so short.
Some of you must remember party lines. Two or more households shared the same line. Each household had a specific ring to know when the phone was for someone at their house. One ring, two rings, a short ring and a long ring, etc.
Sometimes someone in one house would pick up the phone to make a call and find that someone was already talking. If the new caller held the phone too long, listening, she would usually be asked (or told) to hang up because it was a private conversation. I'm sure the party lines contributed to lots of gossip in smaller communities.
The Cock-Eyed Photograph
Who took this photo and how did the photographer manage to take it at this angle? What was he/she thinking?!
I tried to straighten it but found it gave me a headless child and one with half a head. I decided to present it the way it is. I think it's the most crooked photograph I've ever seen.
It seems strange to me that I found copies of it in both my mother's and my grandmother's albums. This photo was taken many years before it was common to have multiple sets of prints made before seeing the photographs. Someone liked this photo enough to find the negative, travel back to the photo shop (or wherever photos were made in the 1940's) and have duplicates printed. I guess it must be as much of a treasure to me as it was to them since I've made a digital copy.
The Little Table with Twisted Legs
When my mother passed away a dozen years ago, my siblings and I met at her home to decide what to do with her furniture and the rest of her possessions. She had a small, light-weight table with twisted legs that I claimed. My brother-in-law pointed out that one of the legs was broken and had been glued out of alignment, and he suggested that maybe I didn't really want it. But I did and said I'd like the table if no one else wanted it. I brought it home and we use it now and then, here and there. Yes, it wobbles a little but not so bad that I can't live with it.
In going through the two old albums, I recognized the little table in this snapshot as the very one I brought home from Mom's house.
And so the treasures are the cock-eyed photograph with the rotary phone, two sweet children, and the knowledge that the little table with twisted legs belonged to my grandmother before it belonged to my mother before it belonged to me.
Do you want to share memories of using a rotary telephone, with or without a party line? Do you have a piece of furniture whose history you can trace to someone before you?
Go to Sepia Saturday and find links to photos and stories that are treasured by others.

I love the little table with the twisted legs.ReplyDelete
Our daughter has a dial phone today, probably circa 1960s. And I have various objects and pieces of furniture that belonged to my grandparents. I even have the old wooden threshold from my grandparent's home. Such memories and connections, too precious to discard.
I wonder if the phone was new to the family at the time and the little girl on the phone was the reason for the shot. Perhaps the camera was new as well and the photographer, just getting the hang of it. Great post!ReplyDelete
I actually have a poem on my blog about the telephone. You might enjoy it: http://hyggedigter.blogspot.com/2009/11/theme-thursday-telephone.html
It's not my usual style, but it was for a prompt and I just went with it.
Maybe The Camerman Was Stood On The Little Table When He Took The Photo?ReplyDelete
I like crooked photos, especially when they allow for such a nice view of some spectacular vintage linoleum. Am I the only one who loves this linoleum?ReplyDelete
I like the angle of the picture, it adds a little mysterious flair to it. I do remember rotary dial phones, and those darned party lines. Seems I shouldn't, but then our little home town was always behind the curve on modern conveniences.ReplyDelete
Hello Nancy, The photo may have been taken by an old Brownie box camera? The children are so sweet, and it doesn't matter that it is crooked. I used to take photo's like that when I was growing up. It thought it artistic..LOLReplyDelete
We still have one of those old phones and they are so heavy compared with today..But there was no phone in the house I grew up in and I was married for about 12years before we got one. Glad you got to keep the little table. We should love and treasure things from the past.Bless you.
it's probably crooked partly because the photographer was so much taller than the scene.ReplyDelete
my china cabinet belonged to an aunty and the couch was mums, i also have a collection of old china collected from neighbours, relatives and acquaintances
A post which is full of memories for me. We too had one of those old bakolite rotary dial telephones (doesn't it seem odd to have to explain them to younger generations) on a party line. I seem to recall that we even had a little twisted leg table like yours to keep it on. And to complete the set I have hundreds of crooked photos.ReplyDelete
i hate when pictures are not aligned properly with the horizon and such, but sometimes, a little creative license is allowed, and even...interesting!! i don't know what to qualify this one as.ReplyDelete
party lines?
before my time.
but those phones?
my parents had a "mastic" one, kind of pink-ish if you want, which probably came after the avocado one in the sixties... yuckie anyway!!
my!! that takes me back!!!
so much for memory lane!!
I think my first comment did not go, but I remember rotaries and party lines. Local gossips eavesdropped to hear the latest, but we kids were not allowed on the phones for very long so little news about our antics were spread over party lines. Today folks walk all around with cell phones permanently affixed to ears, or those little earbug things that look like robots, roaming, speaking to no one in particular! My aunt had a rotary phone still in use in PA, just not the black hunk. When we cleaned out her home for sale last year, we took along an old push button phone to plug in and use. My uncle still has a hunking black monster, dial which he used too;it will eventually be tossed when we finalize clearing his home. Thanks for the memories. And the wobbly table is cute and vintage, I'd have snatched it too!ReplyDelete
I bet they were using a box camera. That made them hard to get in at angle and thus crooked photo. Most photos of me as a kid are at an angle and out of focused.ReplyDelete
We were still on a party line in the mid 1980's. Our rotary dial phone was owned by the phone company and I'm sure we paid for it many times over through the rental fee we had to pay. I think my mother would still have one of those old phones if she could. She has the next best thing, an early touch tone phone - with twisty cord.ReplyDelete
I appreciate your comments and look forward to reading what you have to say. Thanks for stopping by.

The pound dropped below $1.60 for the first time in five weeks on speculation Bank of England officials meeting this week will signal they may introduce additional stimulus as the economy struggles to recover.
The U.K. currency weakened against all except one of its 16 major counterparts after a government report showed the trade deficit narrowed less in November than economists forecast. Policy makers, who started a two-day meeting today, will announce their decision on interest rates and so-called quantitative easing tomorrow, while minutes of the gathering will be released Jan. 23. Gilts were little changed.
"There's been some loose talk with some people thinking there might be more QE highlighted tomorrow," said Jeremy Stretch, head of foreign-exchange strategy at Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in London. "Subsequently sterling has taken some heat so cable has had a go through that $1.60 threshold. If we close below the $1.5995 level that probably suggests we will see further weakness."
The pound dropped 0.3% to $1.6012 at 4:38 p.m. after declining to $1.5993, the lowest level since Nov. 30. Sterling was little changed at 81.52 pence per euro, after depreciating to 81.62 pence yesterday, the weakest since Dec. 31. Cable refers to the pound-dollar exchange rate.
Bank of England policy makers will keep the benchmark interest rate at a record-low 0.5% and the asset-purchase target at 375 billion pounds tomorrow, separate Bloomberg surveys show.
Risks Persist
Policy makers voted 8-1 to leave their bond-purchase program on hold in December as immediate dangers from the euro- area crisis receded and near-term inflation risks persisted, according to minutes of that meeting released Dec. 19.
Most members of the Monetary Policy Committee "agreed that developments on the month had done little to alter the balance of arguments between maintaining and increasing" stimulus, according to the minutes. The current level of quantitative easing "seemed appropriate for the present," it said.
The trade deficit was at 9.16 billion pounds compared with 9.49 billion pounds in October, the Office for National Statistics said in London. The median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of 20 economists was 9 billion pounds.
The pound has fallen 0.9% in the past week, the worst performer of 10 developed-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The dollar gained 0.7% and the euro weakened 0.4%.
