Emigration: A German-Russian Dream
Nemzy - die Deutschen in der Sowjetunion - Die
Einfüng der Wehrpflicht
Bosch, Anton. "Emigration: A German-Russian Dream." Globus Spezial, n.d., 127-131.
Translation from German to English by Claudia Müller, Halle, Germany
Almost all nationalities in the Soviet Union were able to attain their territorial autonomous homeland. This is still denied to Germans.
Declassed as a fringe group in Soviet society, German-Russians had just one goal: to immigrate to the Federal Republic of Germany, where they can maintain their mother tongue for themselves and for their children, where conditions for a life as Germans exist, where the right for freedom and humaneness are ensured.
The desire for individual and political freedom is more strongly developed in Germans than in any other nationality because they know best how to appreciate the meaning of freedom after an oppression lasting for decades. As subjects of a totalitarian regime and as ethnic Germans they endured oppression twice: with body and soul. If their national autonomy in the East cannot be attained, there will only be one way out: to move where they hope to be able to attain their goals.
Besides, the desire to practice traditional religion is still unbroken. Persecution of the faithful continues in the former USSR. In many cases religious persecution takes on radical forms. Especially members of the Free Baptist Church, which is rightly called the martyr's church in the former USSR, are constantly exposed to inhuman persecution. They are thrashed by special groups of thugs; meetings and religious services are broken up. Believers are called names at work, children from faithful families are laughed at and become fall guys by order of the school administration.
As the Germans in the Soviet Union have no autonomous and cultural independence and cannot get a minimum of rights for their ethnic group for their continued national existence, they, therefore, have only one goal: To immigrate to the Federal Republic of Germany, the land of their ancestors. Paradoxically, now they want to return to that same country their ancestors had to leave because of similar inhumane living conditions.
They risk everything for this goal to return to the Federal Republic of Germany: their friends, their jobs, familiar environment, education, occupation and their meager savings they have accumulated through diligence and frugality. They are allowed to bring along only 90 rubles and personal clothing.
Upon application for immigration, hell breaks lose: Reprisals at school and at work up to termination, denial of registration with police when changing residence, confiscation of property and houses, searches of homes, arrests for petitions with the authorities to emigrate, expulsion from universities of those few who have received a place at a university, etc.
Worst of all, they are affected even morally when former friends and coworkers shun them, because persons willing to immigrate are as a rule treated as "anti-Soviet people" with all consequences. In the General Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948, which was also signed by the former Soviet Union, it is said: "Everybody has the right to leave any country including their own as well as to return to it."
In reality, this right is arbitrarily interpreted by the former Soviet Union depending on the general situation between East and West.
Only those Germans or Jews who can present an invitation (Vysov) from their relatives in the West have the opportunity to immigrate. Even a new decree which became effective on January 1, 1987, didn't change anything. To the contrary, it limits the right to apply for emigration to immediate relatives (only father, mother, brother, sister, husband, wife).
After the amnesty of 1955, a large part of the German population, under strictest secrecy, drew up lists of those who wanted to immigrate and who were brought by reliable persons to the recently opened German Embassy in Moscow. Overall, of that time, there are more than 250,000 signatures of Germans who were willing to immigrate.
In the '60s a complete rehabilitation of this German ethnic group was aimed at. That's why signatures for the restoration of the German autonomy along the Volga, in the Ukraine and in the Caucasus had been collected by formed action groups and in January and June 1965, and were taken to Moscow by two delegations and submitted to the government. The former chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, A. I. Mikojan, responded briefly to the demands by the Germans: "We don't have any territory. It's impossible to continue to run the economy in Kazakhstan without the Germans ..." Another delegation who wanted to be heard by the Supreme Soviet in July 1967, was expelled from Moscow within 24 hours.
Afterwards it became obvious that it was only a matter of time until the German population disappeared from among the Soviet people. There was only one alternative left: Immigration to Germany, the historical homeland.
After signing the German-Soviet agreement of Moscow in the '70s, a new opportunity for the emigration of Germans from the Soviet Union opened up. Numerous action groups were formed in several areas; at relatives, they compiled immigration lists and made appeals to the West and to the United Nations. In 1973, the "Association der ausreisewilligen Russlanddeutschen" was founded in Estonia and was able to exist until February, 1974, and as center of this movement was able to coordinate its work with many action groups in Kazakhstan and other areas. All of its members were arrested and sentenced to prison for up to four years.
On May 18, 1973, a list of more than 7,000 families (about 35,000 persons) was handed to the Supreme Soviet requesting the start of talks regarding resettlement. All delegates were arrested, interrogated and under the supervision of the KGB were taken to their places of residence where interrogations and harassment continued. In April, 1974, several hundred ethnic Germans gathered in Karaganda to discuss actions for emigration. The houses of the Germans were surrounded by civil servants, militia and more than 400 soldiers; organizers were arrested and taken away to be interrogated.
Some demonstrations on the Red Square and in front of the German Embassy in Moscow as well as in front of governmental buildings in Alma-Ata, Frunse, Dushanbe and other towns were on the agenda. All these actions as well as pressure from the outside on the Soviet government and the end of the KSZE-conference in 1975, in Helsinki resulted in a constantly increasing number of immigrants. In 1976, immigration reached a record number of 9,652 people.
After the failure of the policy of detente through the invasion of the Soviet army into Afghanistan, the process of reuniting families went literally downhill until it came to a complete standstill. In 1985, only 460 persons came while in 1986, there were only 760 persons. Reunification of separated families was stopped because of the third change in government in Moscow and because of constantly deteriorating relations with the West. In order to achieve a positive trend in the reunification, in the Federal Republic of Germany all political parties and the government in Bonn mobilized everything for the Germans in Russia during this difficult period. For the first time the demand for improvement of reuniting families of ethnic Germans from the USSR was included in the federal announcement of 4 May 1983. Chancellor Kohl announced during his visit to the Kremlin:
"In the long history the humanitarian question occupying us these days touches us also. Germans and Soviet citizens of German nationality want to immigrate to their families and relatives in my country. This opportunity must be preserved in the spirit of humanity. To us this is an important matter in interrelations. It is important to stop the tendencies of the last years and to return to a positive practice. We would welcome very much, if speedy progress on the question of immigration were possible. Beyond that, we remain interested in a great improvement of living conditions and the opportunity for cultural self-realization of the ethnic Germans in the Soviet Union."
Several debates concerning the situation of the ethnic Germans in the USSR were held in the European Parliament in Straßburg and in the Lower House of the German Parliament. All representatives of all the political parties, unions and governments who traveled to Moscow supported the interests and the relief of the situation at the Kremlin. The question of human rights and the situation of the ethnic Germans had been the focus of discussions at all following conferences of the KSZE in Ottawa, Madrid, Belgrade and Vienna.
For the first time, the Soviet government allowed again more ethnic Germans to immigrate just prior to the state visit by the President of the Federal Republic, Richard von Weizäcker, to Moscow in early July, 1987. If in the first months of 1987 only 80 to 100 persons per month received an exit permit, an increase in the average number of approximately 2,000 people per month could be observed by the end of the year. A record number of 14,290 was reached in 1987.
The new policy of Glasnost and Perestroika introduced by Gorbatshov showed its effects even in this problem. It was nothing new to the government in Moscow that ethnic Germans in the USSR would leave in groves but the sense of a new era and the inundation effect of emigration became a problem for the powers particularly in Kazakhstan and other regions where ethnic Germans are the backbone of the economy.
They tried to retain the Germans by means of a new Glasnost policy or rather by preventing their effort to leave on the pretext of difficulties concerning their integration in the West.
In the past, the existence of ethnic Germans in the Soviet Empire had been hushed up. Presently, it seems all taboos would fade away. Because of this development, German-Russians increasingly become the focal point of public discussion both here and there. In 1986, the ARD aired the film Wir sind aus Siberiens Weiten which showed German-Russians talking about their life. A second film Das Buch von Olga und Johann followed on ZDF in 1987. Furthermore several short reports were broadcast in the news and current television broadcasts. The German press reacted mainly positively.
For the first time, WDR correspondent Lutz Lehmann filmed the life of ethnic Germans in Kazakhstan. The film with the title Heimat in der Fremde was broadcasted on April 13, 1987. In August of last year, a Soviet television team arrived and filmed the life of Aussiedler throughout Germany. The film aired nationwide on the Central Television station in Moscow found a wide response among Germans as well as among other nationalities in the Soviet Union because for the first time the viewer was informed that two million Germans were living there and that there was a phenomenon of mass migration. If this kind of Glasnost policy will reach its true objective, is questionable. Quite the contrary, it seems that the sense of a new era to emigrate was rather strengthened by this telecast.
An ethnic German, who had experienced all kinds of harassment of deportation, assimilation and annihilation in the former Soviet Union during the last decades, is not held back by means of propaganda. As long as autonomy along the Volga and in other areas of South Russia is not returned, there will be only one way out to escape the uncertainty and fear of their future: their immigration to the Federal Republic of Germany, to the land of their ancestors, to their historical German homeland, where they hope to be able to live without fear among Germans and as Germans with equal rights able to realize their goals for their future.

Brent Crude Oil (July '13):
- Short Term Trend is bearish.
- Confirmation of a bottom with a range violation on 04/20/13 @ 100.34. Confirmation of a bottom with a close violation on 04/20/13 @ 100.39. Upside Targets = 106.40 – 108.61.

- July Brent Crude rallied significantly higher on Wednesday after once again finding support near the lows of the previous weeks and then rallied to make an outside session to the previous two days.
- After rallying more than $2.50 from the lows on Wednesday, traders should expect a profit taking sell-off early in Thursday's trading session before finding support just below $103 and moving back up near $105 into the end of the week as mentioned in previous evening reports.
- Projected Daily Range: 1.75
- Projected Weekly Range: 4.83
- Projected Monthly Range: 9.59
WTI Crude Oil (June '13):

- VRCB generated on Wednesday making new highs on the current move @ 4.078.
- June Natural Gas moved to the upside for its third straight day of gains on Wednesday in its most narrow day of trading in almost a month as the short-covering rally rolled along.
- Wednesday's tight trading range ahead of Thursday's storage report could be signaling that the upside potential in this market is becoming tapped out and as mentioned in Tuesday evening's report, a triple digit injection could press the market to new lows for the month.
- Projected Daily Range: .127

Finally delving into Album Two of the Album Rescue Project. The disappointing thing so far is that the first several pages are devoid of photos — someone removed them at some point. Footnote Maven warned me that antiques dealers often do this because they think they can make more money selling the photos individually than in the albums. I'm not sure if that was the case here, but it makes me wonder who and what were in those photos.
Here is the first photo in Album Two:
This photo was glued onto the page, and so I scanned it by flipping my Flip-Pal scanner over onto it. I wasn't happy with the scan though — there seems to be a lot of reflection off the paper. I'd had some luck removing glued images from pages in Album One and so I took a chance, but disaster happened. The photo was too stuck to the page in one area (the lady's hat) and it tore. I'm despondent — it's the first time that's happened to me. In retrospect, I should have cut the photo, backing and all, out of the page instead. Lesson learned.
The next photo was attached to the page using photo corners and so came up a lot easier.
Here we have our star from Album One, so my original hunch that these two albums belonged to the same person or family was correct.
This photo was too big for the bed of my Flip-Pal scanner, so I scanned it in two sections and stitched it together using software. Isn't it a great image? I love the expressions on their faces.
Here we have our star and her friend that made many appearances in Album One. Not sure if the gentlemen pictured have appeared before though.
Here's our star again with a couple of gentlemen, one of whom also was in Photo 4. Hmmm… a new beau? It's definitely not the same guy whom I assumed to be her boyfriend in Album One.
And here's the same gentleman with a helpful date written on the photo. Unfortunately, that's the only notation written on any of the photos so far.
For those who followed along with Album One, I've been making a list of all the codes in Album One (no codes so far in Album Two). Hoping to see some patterns emerge when I study the list more closely.

I can barely sit still in my seat long enough to type out this post. And you wanna know why?
Because my BEST FRIEND in the whole entire world [I sound like I'm 5] is visiting me in Omaha. And yes, I've been counting down the days until her arrival. I was that pumped.
Obviously you will not hear from me for the rest of the weekend because we shall be too busy catching up on anything and everything. And having a grand time while doing so. We always have too much fun together so who knows what the next couple of days will bring.
So since this is a short and sweet post, I figured this would be a great opportunity to leave you with a recipe that is just as short and even sweeter. I made these Eggnog Truffles while I was in Washington for Christmas and I really can't believe I haven't gotten these out to you sooner. I'm slowly, but very surely, becoming a truffle addict. I seriously love them in all of their rich, creamy glory. And I'm an eggnog fanatic, so needless to say these are one of my favorite truffles to date.
Which brings me to a rather ironic point: these truffles don't contain any eggnog. Nope. Not a drop. Rather, they're perfectly flavored by white chocolate and those crucial eggnog spices. I kid you not. Craziness, huh? No one could believe they didn't have any eggnog in them!
Anywho, I must get going. Have a wonderful weekend! I know we will!! .
Adapted from Taste and Tell
2 lbs. white baking chocolate
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. imitation rum extract
- Melt 1 pound of the white chocolate according to the package directions. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, nutmeg, and rum extract until smooth. Add in melted white chocolate and beat until smooth. Cover and refrigerate mixture until firm (about 4 hours).
- Shape the mixture into balls (size depends on how big or small you'd like; I used a very scant teaspoonful). Place balls on a wax-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm.
- Melt the remaining 1 pound of white chocolate in a large bowl. Using two spoons, dip each truffle in the chocolate and place back onto the lined baking sheet to dry. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
Yield: 3 dozen truffles

Road accident in SW Pakistan kills 35, injures 20
QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — A multi-vehicle collision involving two trucks and two passenger buses on a coastal highway in southwestern Pakistan early on Saturday killed 35 people and injured 20 passengers, police said.
The accident took place in Baluchistan province, near Gadani, a coastal town known for its shipbreaking industry some 600 kilometers (370 miles) south of Quetta, the provincial capital.
A bus bound for the port city of Karachi first collided head-on with a truck coming from the opposite direction, said Ahmed Nawaz, the area's police chief.
Nawaz said the second bus and truck then piled up onto the two vehicles and all caught fire, mostly because the buses were also smuggling Iranian gasoline and diesel-filled canisters on board.
He said 25 people were reported to have died at the scene while 30 injured victims were taken out of the destroyed and burned buses.
Most of the victims, including women and children, were severely burned and were transported to Karachi. Ten of the injured died on the way, raising the death toll to 35, said Nawaz.
The inter-city buses operating across Baluchistan, which borders Iran, often carry canisters of smuggled Iranian gasoline and diesel.
"It is routine, we are compelled to do this, even though it is illegal and dangerous," said Mohammad Hasan Lehri, who works as a bus driver on the Quetta-Karachi route.
Lehri said thousands of people are involved in the illegal trade and everyone gets a share of the profits, a veiled reference to policemen who may be on the take.
Bad road infrastructure and poor driving and implementation of traffic laws and regulations often cause deadly accidents in Pakistan.

A good month ago, I had a little freak out and decided to buy 12 random MAC eyeshadows. I asked the lady on the phone to read some names out over the phone and I picked some that sounded good.
Yes I really did this. What it is, I bought a cute 12 pan empty palette from eBay (seller: Celia_makeup) – I like it cos its smaller than the normal MAC palette, and its easy to carry round.
Yes I bought shadows for the palette. It was a mental breakdown in the form of cosmetic shopping.
It arrived in the little black box, as they do and I haven't touched it until now….which is a sign of pointless purchase, no?
Nevermind. I bought some MAC shadows people are forever using in tutorials and what not. Here they are in my palette:
Bit of blue, bit of green, bit of black…a nice mix, no?
Here are the shadows in their pans. I am sure you mac-a-loonies have seen these all before but there the are again anyway…
There must be something wrong with my vanilla shadow cos there's not much pigment. Its really hard to get anything off the pan. Shame, as its the perfect neutral.
Black Tied:
Super silver glitter in black. Nice, nice. Surprisingly un-trannylike.
A matte white! I don't think I own another plain matte white. Useful I guess.
A matte black – useful once again.
Deep Truth:
A really pretty metallic blue. Like it!
Harder to wear than I thought it would be, but its ok.
My kitty is called Electra which is why I bought this! A typical metallic silver.
Satin Taupe:
Everyone goes on about this, and yes, its nice.
Something sort of old school about this – I used to buy shadows and liners in this kind of colour all the time. Its ok.
A green shade with bits of blue in it – nice again. Not WOAH nice, but AHH nice.
It is what it says on the tin! Bronze!
Beauty Marked:
Dark plum with shimmers – very nice! I just wish I had other colours to go with it.
Did I miss any other MAC shadows worth buying? If so, which shades? Tell me in the comments!

Inclusive Childhood Education
It has been said that if you want to make a difference in the world, become a teacher. You can make a difference—in your life and the lives of future generations—by enrolling in Fisher's inclusive childhood education program.
The program is deemed "inclusive" because, as an undergraduate education candidate, you will work toward dual certification in general education and special education. Combine that with a second, required content major and you have the makings of an education that leaves your career options wide open.
As early as your first semester of freshman year, you'll have access to a dedicated education candidate advisor who can help you create a long-term plan to meet all your major and degree requirements.
Program Overview
The inclusive childhood education major requires 55 credits. You will also complete a second major in one of the following content areas:
- English
- French
- Mathematics (statistics major)
- Social Studies (American studies or history major)
- Spanish
Other choices of a second major are possible through consultation with the department chair. Your content-area major is identical to the content major of a non-education student. The second major may require candidates to complete more than the minimum 120 credits required for degree completion.
As an inclusive childhood education major, you will take an additional 15 liberal arts courses that meet the College Core requirements. To meet New York State core requirements for the program, you are also required to earn a minimum of 35 credits in content core classes. Many of the designated content core courses may also fulfill requirements of the College Core.
In addition, you will be required to successfully complete a set of courses and field experiences relating to pedagogical content in teacher education.
Life After Fisher
With a B.S. degree in inclusive childhood education from Fisher, you are qualified to teach in a variety of settings and capacities. Graduates of this program have gone on to hold positions in the following regional locations:
- Third grade teacher within the Penfield Central School District
- Second grade teacher of dual language subjects at Rochester's Enrico Fermi School No. 17
- Elementary special education teacher within the Rochester City School District
- Literacy coach at French Road Elementary School
- Superintendent of schools at East Rochester Union Free School District
Why Teach?
As a teacher, you will be a highly-trained, forward-thinking professional. Entering the teaching profession today will set you on a path of discovery.Benefits of Teaching

According to several published reports, Matt Harvey said he's aiming to return at the end of the season, which would be a foolish decision by the New York Mets.
One might argue an advantage to having Harvey pitch in 2014 is it gives the Mets an opportunity to see where he stands in his recovery, but it's a stretch because there's no doubt he's in their 2015 plans.
Harvey is a given for 2015, but if there's any doubt, that's why Bartolo Colon received a two-year deal. Colon's presence, coupled with the anticipated development of Zack Wheeler and Noah Syndergaard, gives the Mets flexibility in when to bring back their ace.
The normal recovery time from Tommy John surgery is a year. If the Mets really wanted Harvey back for 2015, they should have scheduled surgery immediately after the injury, but instead they messed around with the idea of Harvey resting in the hope in coming back for spring training and pitching this year.
That was a pipe dream and most people knew it, but the Mets opted to placate Harvey's whims, which could have been disastrous had he been ready for the season but re-injured his elbow.
"When you see stories of guys coming back in 10 months, I'm going to think, 'Hey, I can come back in nine,' '' Harvey told reporters recently at an event in Boston. "Unfortunately, I don't make those decisions. I can't throw the uniform on and go back on the mound without the permission of higher-ups.
"That's my personality – I always want to be out there. Like I've said all along, I'm not a doctor, so I don't have those answers. But of course I want to get back on the mound.''
As much as Harvey wants to pitch this season, he said he doesn't regret changing his mind about having surgery.
Early in his young career, Harvey has already established a reputation for pushing the envelope when it comes to his health. He said nothing after tweaking his back and ended up missing a start. He was again quiet when he developed tightness in his forearm, which led to the elbow injury and then surgery..
Then, there was his insistence in not having surgery and taking the resting route in an effort to be ready for spring training. GM Sandy Alderson said he wasn't going to push Harvey toward the knife, but later acknowledged a sense of relief when he relented to surgery.
There will come a time this summer after a string of minor league starts when Harvey will be asked how he feels. He'll undoubtedly say he feels good and there will be a buzz about bringing him back for a handful of starts.
The buzz would grow exceptionally loud if the Mets were over .500 and/or close to a wild card slot. In short: the better the Mets, the louder the buzz.
The Mets would be wise to ignore the buzz, as nothing can be gained by rushing back Harvey. The odds would be long – even if Harvey were to pitch in September– of getting into the playoffs. They are even longer without him, and to rush his return is foolish.
The Mets have waited a long time to return to the playoffs, but a little longer won't kill them. Pushing the envelope on Harvey and having him getting hurt again would be devastating.

Inquiry finds room for improvement in music education access
A Victorian parliamentary inquiry has found rural and regional students find it more difficult to access a strong music education.
The Education and Training Committee looked at the extent, benefits and potential of music education in Victoria and found there is room for improvement.
The committee's report says not all students have equitable access to music education and students from rural and regional areas, or from low socio-economic backgrounds, face greater difficulties.
The committee has called for a state-wide strategy for music education and for the Government to ensure state schools have the facilities and equipment they need.
The report also recommends increasing learning opportunities for teachers in rural and regional Victoria, perhaps using technology.
The State Government has six months to respond to the committee's report.
Topics: subjects, education, schools, state-parliament, programs-and-initiatives, vic, ballarat-3350, bendigo-3550, mildura-3500, horsham-3400, sale-3850, shepparton-3630, wodonga-3690

Red Bull Frozen Rush Pro4 Race Trucks Cut Loose on Snow SlopesPosted in News on January 8, 2014
Have you ever wondered what a 900-horsepower Por4 Race Truck could do on a snow slope? Neither did we, that is, until we saw this awesome video of Red Bull's Frozen Rush Race project. Normally Pro4 Trucks find themselves racing on short courses and desert tracks but this Friday Red Bull is bringing the heat to the frozen slopes of Maine. Everyone knows snow wheeling is always a blast but when you mix a high powered desert race truck with studded tires and over 20 inches of wheel travel with an environment that is better suited for snowboarding and skiing, the results are bound to be a complete overload of gnarliness!
Red Bull Frozen Rush redefines snowsports by bringing a new head-to-head off-road race to the slopes. Eight 900-horsepower Pro4 Race Trucks will battle the wintery conditions to rip figure eights through the slopes, fly off jumps and climb snowy inclines at Maine's Sunday River resort. Eight drivers will test their skills on uncharted territory in search of a mountain champ.
A few hours from Boston, skiers and snowboarders will share the contours of Sunday River's South Ridge with 4x4 trucks blazing the trails and dodging slalom gates. The race format will be a bracketed, single elimination with two drivers on course at a time. The United States Auto Club has sanctioned the race and will oversee the competition to ensure that Frozen Rush will be an amazing experience for both spectators and competitors alike.
You can catch all the snow rippin' action this Friday, January 10, from 10:00am-2:00pm on Sunday River Ski Resort's South Ridge Lodge. Best of all is you can walk-up and drool over all the action for free!
Check out the sneak peek videos of what you can expect to see if you're lucky enough to be on the Sunday River South Ridge slopes this Friday!

Climb on board Chicago's First Lady for an in-depth lesson on the city's stunning architecture as you sail the Chicago River during the Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise. The tour highlights more than 50 buildings along the Chicago River and provides an outline of the many notable and new buildings in the city.
Chicago Architecture Foundation River Cruise lasts about 90 minutes and costs $32; be sure to pack natural sunscreen, sunglasses and an umbrella just in case! Photo Courtesy Chicago Architecture Foundation.
My favorite buildings from the tour are a mix of old and new, retrofit and green from the ground up.
Marina City
Designed in the 1960s by Bertrand Goldberg, Marina City consists of 60-story twin towers with semicircular balconies (the towers resemble corn on the cob!). The towers stand on the north bank of the Chicago River and are home to apartments, parking garages (on the lower section), eateries, shops and a hotel. Marina City was designed with energy efficiency and community in mind; check out our friends at Apartment Therapy's feature on a pair of Marina City dwellers.
Shaped like corncobs, Marina City towers add texture and visual interest to the Chicago skyline. Photo By fusionpanda/Courtesy Flickr
Tribune Tower
In 1922 the Chicago Tribune kicked off a competition inviting architects around the world to design the newspaper's new office building. The winning neo-Gothic design from New York architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood features ornate buttresses at the top and integrates 120 stone fragments from landmarks such as the Alamo, the Colosseum and the Great Wall of China. The 34-story building is located on North Michigan Avenue.
Dubbed "the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world," the Tribune Tower's decorative detailing caught my eye. Photo By cbnight/Courtesy Flickr.
Lake Point Tower
Dark and curvy, Lake Point Tower radiates grace and mystery. Designed in the 1960s by John Heinrich and George Schipporeit, this modernist residential building is the only skyscraper in downtown Chicago east of Lake Shore Drive. Lake Point Tower, made from glass and steel, curves into a unique clover-shape and offers beautiful views of the Chicago skyline and bustling Navy Pier.

Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower)
Formerly known as both the Sears Tower and the tallest building in the world, the newly renamed Willis Tower (after tenant and British insurance firm Willis Group Holdings) opened in the 1970s and was first home to Sears Roebuck. Now, the famed skyscraper is undergoing another transformation that will add another talking point to its name—energy-efficient Willis Tower! Chicago firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture is designing at $350 million retrofit to the landmark building that will reduce energy use in the base building by 80 percent and reduce water use by 40 percent, according to a podcast by the U.S. Green Building Council. First-fixes include replacing the inefficient, single-pane windows, upgrading to gas boilers that use fuel-cell technology and designing water-efficient landscaping systems.
At 1,450 feet and 110 stories, Willis Tower overpowers many buildings in both Chicago and in the U.S. Photo By Andrew Paul Kirchofer/Courtesy Flickr.
Aqua at Lakeshore East
Aqua at Lakeshore East is built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards. Aqua at Lakeshore East is still awaiting final certification from the USGBC. Designed by architecture firm Studio Gang, Aqua Tower is the fifth tallest building in the world completed in 2009. This 87-floor mixed-use building features sun-shading balconies that keep the structure naturally cooled in warm months, eco-friendly and rapidly renewable bamboo flooring, energy-efficient appliances and public electric car charging stations in the parking garage.

Living & Eating at Clarkson
One of the best parts of the college experience is sharing living accommodations with other students. Lasting friendships begin in our residence and dining halls for as many reasons as there are individuals.
First-year community living is designed to facilitate a healthy and positive transition to Clarkson. During your first year, you will live among other first-year students in one of three residence halls. After that, you have choices among suites, apartments and townhouses. Theme housing is also a choice for interest groups, such as CEO Club, athletic teams or substance-free living. Fraternity and sorority housing is another option.
In addition to sharing a living experience, we believe that eating on campus helps promote a strong sense of community. We offer a wide variety of food options from pizza and pasta to salads and vegetarian dishes to ensure an enjoyable on-campus dining experience. You can also tailor your meal plan according to how much you eat and when.
Find out when and where laundry services are available on LaundryView.

Why God Makes Understanding Difficult
Jonathan Edwards, from Miscellanies #139:
I am convinced that there are many things in religion and the Scriptures that are made difficult on purpose to try men, and to exercise their faith and scrutiny, and to hinder the proud and self-sufficient.
John Piper addresses this same issue, speaking particularly about difficulties we encounter in Scripture, in his sermon, "Why God Inspired Hard Texts." He says God has given us hard texts to prompt at least four things, which seem to match well with Edwards' thoughts above:
- Desperation - A sense of utter dependence on God's enablement.
- Supplication - Prayer to God for help.
- Cogitation - Thinking hard about biblical texts.
- Education - Training young people and adults to pray earnestly, read well, and think hard.

I have received a bumper selection of marriage certificates from fellow Guild member Des Gander following his hard work on the recent Exeter Marriage Challenge.

- 1839 Robert Cruse (son of Samuel Cruse) and Sarah Cockwill
- 1842 James Cruse (father's details blank) and Elizabeth Cruse (daughter of Edward Cruse)
- 1849 Anna Maria Cruse (daughter of Robert Cruse) and Thomas Hicks
- 1850 Robert Cruse (son of Robert Cruse) and Martha Conway
- 1855 John Pester Cruse (son of John Cruse) and Fanny Sheppard
- 1869 Daniel Richard Cruse (son of John Cruse) Mary Jane Scanes
- 1872 Catharine Fanny Cruse (daughter of Samuel Cruse) and George Tayler
- 1875 Albert Cruse (son of William Cruse) and Eva Bartlett
- 1875 Joseph Cruse (son of John Cruse) and Grace Snell Mellow

I am related to Samuel Burrington Sheppard, can you say if he is related to Fanny who married John Pester Cruse? S.Foard

Fanny Sheppard was born about 1836 in Kenton and was the daughter of William Sheppard, a gardener. I haven't investigated the Sheppards and have no information about her siblings. You might find more information on Sue Froud's website:

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 49 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
New Poker Community is looking for a logo
Card Gang
Card Gang is a new concept for a Poker community and we are looking for a strong logo to represent it.
This community will be rooted in the Bluff Europe Magazine poker community (Europe's leading poker publication), but we want an independent logo with its own brand. This will be used primarly for a clothing range (t-shirts, basebal caps) and to identify the community related events (free rolls, tournaments)
- a logo which is fashionable
- a brand that will be able to crossover to people outside poker
- only a very subtle connection to poker or cards. something with an urban feeling would be ideal
- Aspirational (it must be something that poker player would want to "belong" to)
- must work in clothing
- work print media
- work in web (in this order)
- not too obviously connected to poker or card games
- no obvious connection with BluffEurope

Clearing up the mess
I was wondering if you could tell me why when baking fish or meats occasionally a white, thick skimmy matter forms.
Thanks, Effie
I'm no expert, and I'll probably be corrected by a few foodie scientists out there, but this is what I was taught many years ago.
The white stuff usually comes out when something is cooked at too high a heat, is overcooked, or dries out. It's made up primarily of albumin, which is a type of water-soluble protein found in blood and egg whites (among other things) although albumen (which is actually the term for egg whites) mustn't be confused with albumin.
Albumen are only around 50 per cent albumin. Writing this I'm getting giddy as I'm supposed to be answering culinary queries and now I'm becoming Dr Gordon.
Oh well, it's all the rage to do molecular gastronomy ... Because the protein is soluble, and the meat or fish (salmon especially) cooks, releasing moisture, as it seeps to the outside of the fillet it sets when it comes into contact with heat, as an egg white does.
It's nothing to worry about, but it doesn't look particularly appetising. It is best to wipe it off with a sharp knife just before you serve your meal. When making fish or meat stock, a similar thing occurs.
The fats and proteins are forced out of the bones as they heat up and float to the surface where they can sometimes look like a toxic foam. That's why you're told to skim a stock as it simmers away on the stove. What I have found though is that if you cook fish bones long enough the stock, without skimming, pretty much clears itself.
This is interesting, because another part of the fish, the bladder (when turned into isinglass) is sometimes used to clarify white wines. Bet you didn't know that.
Egg whites are also often used (not surprisingly then), as are gelatine and casein - all of which, apart from the casein, contain collagen which binds with the particles in the grape juice, pulling it all together, thence making the wine crystal clear.
Whenever I make a veal stock, or any stock from large bones, I always cover them with cold water and bring to the boil and refresh three times before adding the vegetables and wine etc as they give off enormous amounts of 'foam' and you'll find yourself skimming away half the herbs and goodies as you continually skim all day long.
However, all this coagulation can work to our benefit when it comes to consomme, the clear broth beloved of old hotels and classic restaurants. I once had the most amazing truffle-flavoured game consomme that was served with shaved white truffle and thinly sliced pigeon breast floating in it which was completely divine.
The broth is made and then a mixture of egg whites and minced lean meat (no fat please) or fish is whisked in and the broth brought slowly to a simmer. It cooks for a bit longer and is then left to cool a little.
The proteins in the egg and meat have coagulated with any solids floating in the stock and you are left with a crystal clear consomme - simple gastronomic heaven!

When the senior actor passed away at age 98, after dedicating over 50 years of his life to movies and theatre, merely a handful from the film industry showed up to pay their last respects. Hangal's one liner from 'Sholay' ( "Itna sanaata…") must have reverberated in the Vile Parle crematorium where his last rites were performed by his grieving son, surrounded by Raza Murad, Ila Aroon and a few others. Such a poor showing for a Padma Bhushan awardee, who had acted in more than 200 films! Expecting major stars to turn up at the funeral, the Mumbai police had arranged for a bandobast… but obviously, the big guys had other priorities. However, it has to be said that when funds were required to pay Hangal's mounting medical bills, and it became known that the actor was leading a life of penury, several large hearted stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Mithun Chakraborthy, generously came forward to help the family. All the more distressing that the turn out at the Grand Old Man's funeral was as low…. Even if the tributes were lavish.
It's now come to a point where we make zero distinction between 'events'. Everything has been converted into an event. And numbers say it all, whether it is a movie premiere, fashion show, birthday, music launch, book launch, film preview,success party, shaadi …. or funeral. It's only about the celebrity turnout. Another line from 'Sholay' comes back to haunt us today, "Kitney aadmi thhe?" Hungry for content, media wallas wait for hours , often in awful conditions, for the big names to show up. When that does not happen ( as in the case of poor Hangal), features' editors holding up a page for the all important celeb images, tear their hair out in frustration. All that blank space has to be filled! A film star funeral generally guarantees several photo- ops . Look no further than Rajesh Khanna's. There were enough images and quotes at his blow out of a funeral to cram into several supplements. Poor Hangal was not as blessed.
This is the way the cookie crumbles, not just in Bollywood-crazy India, but in Hollywood as well. From Michael Jackson to Liz Taylor and Whitney Huston, the coverage of their spectacular funerals was flashed across the globe for days and weeks , focusing as much on their achievements as on the celeb quotient at the 'events'. P.R. firms have started to recognize high profile funerals as valid image making ( or breaking) opportunities. These days , it is not unusual to receive calls from assorted p.r. agencies crassly asking, " So…. will you be attending so-and-so's funeral?" The time is not far off when there will be show stoppers at crematoriums and fashion designers will create 'looks' for funerals, same as they create lehengas for weddings. Sounds horrible – but it's happening!
A.K. Hangal will be remembered with love and respect by his Marxist colleagues. For a humble tailor from Karachi to make it in Mumbai's film industry and contribute to over 225 films, is by no means a small achievement. Rahim Chaacha lived and died, as a brave and proud worker. Thank God, his funeral was not converted into an event.

If You Can't Trust A Cop... 13-Year Veteran Of Seattle PD Makes Body Cameras For Cops
from the accountability-is-always-a-good-thing dept
The NYPD may be forced to wear body cameras in the near future, something that makes Bloomberg's veins pulse and eyes start twitching. For some reason, Bloomberg is convinced all these cameras will do is make "his" cops look bad. It's a shame he won't look at the actual results of cops wearing cameras -- other cities that have implemented the technology have noticed a marked decrease in both the deployment of excessive force and number of citizen complaints. It's a win for both sides: the public and their public servants.
But if Bloomberg can't trust the conclusions reached by other PDs, chances are he won't trust the opinion of Steve Ward, a 13-year veteran of the Seattle Police Department.
Steve Ward doesn't care about reasons why the cameras are worn, just that police wear them. Now he wants to put a similar version into the public's hands.Some police personnel express reluctance to wear body cameras, not necessarily because they're bad cops, but because being asked to wear one implies that they are. This same sort of resistance occurred 20 years ago, during the rollout of dashcams. Steve Ward, however, had an uncommon take on the new technology, and on cops and cameras in general.
Six years ago, Ward created VieVu, a company that produces a rugged, virtually tamper-proof camera that officers wear that records audio, video, time and GPS information.
Since then, the former Seattle police officer claims VieVu is now the market leader in wearable cameras designed for police use. The company claims 3,000 police departments in 16 countries use them.
He got the idea back mid 90s when the 13-year police veteran was part of a magazine profile on bicycle cops and a photographer strapped a camera on him.If a cop views "capturing everything" as a positive thing, he immediately stands out as an anomaly. But actual experience with the cameras -- especially the calming effect their use has on angry citizens -- has turned plenty of law enforcement officers into believers. Here's what representatives from two Connecticut police departments had to say about the cameras.
"I realized that this is just like those in-car cameras that were just catching on, but the cop wears it," Ward said. "It means you capture everything a cop does, not just the 5-percent that happens in front of the car."
Ward calls it his "ah-ha" moment.
Some New Haven officers have purchased body cameras on their own, Esserman said. It's a stark contrast from a time when many officers were highly skeptical of dashboard cameras.VieVu's backend is where Ward's product earns its trustworthiness. Even though officers can control what's recorded via the sliding lens cover, they can't edit or delete footage once its uploaded. This may allow an officer to selectively record interactions with the public, but in order to avoid any appearance of impropriety, the officer has to make the decision before the interaction begins. Any complaint filed by citizens about excessive force or abuse should have some corresponding footage. If it doesn't, (ideally) this lack of footage should cast serious doubts on the officer's narrative of the event, especially since he or she had the opportunity and technology to record the interaction, but chose not to.
"Years ago it was imposed on officers; now it seems many officers think it's in their best interest," he said. "I think the world has changed and people are much more comfortable with cameras than they used to be."
In Branford, Halloran said body cameras have been embraced by his officers.
"Now the attitude of the officers are, if there's a camera broken down, 'Well, I want a camera. I'm not going on the road without a camera,'" Halloran said.
The bottom line here is this: if Bloomberg and Chief Kelly (and others like them) can't trust the opinions of a federal court judge or private citizens, surely they can take the word of other cops, right? Or do they trust no one but New York's Finest? When a ex-cop's making body cameras, it's more than simply filling a market. It's an implicit statement that cameras are good for cops -- that it's not simply about forcing bad cops to generate their own damning evidence.
If these cops can't trust other cops, there's no way they view the public as worth respecting… or protecting.

Tractor operations represent a significant portion of annual on-farm fuel costs.
Rising fuel prices present a challenge for growers as they prepare for spring field work. A new publication from Iowa State University Extension illustrates the "shift up, throttle back" technique to reduce tractor fuel consumption and related expenses.
"Shift Up and Throttle Back to Save Tractor Fuel" (PM 2089M) is available to download from the Extension Online Store.
"Spring is here, and this year's rising temperatures are accompanied by rising fuel prices," said Dana Petersen, ISU Extension program coordinator with ISU Farm Energy. "Striving to get the best performance from any tractor can help farmers to reduce costs by conserving fuel."
Older model tractors need more attention
Late-model tractors with "infinitely" or "continuously" variable transmissions are designed to automatically perform at maximum fuel efficiency, but older models need more attention. Spring field work requires varying amounts of drawbar force depending on the size of the tractor, the size of the implement and soil conditions. With a partial drawbar load, the fuel efficiency of a diesel engine is fairly forgiving if the operator will "shift up and throttle back."
"The first step to reduce fuel consumption is remembering to shift up to a higher gear and ease back on the throttle when the tractor is only partially loaded," said Mark Hanna, ISU Extension agricultural engineer. "This technique alone can easily improve fuel savings by 10 percent."
For more tips on tractor maintenance from Hanna and other ISU ag engineers, visit http://farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu and register for the upcoming Farm Energy webinar scheduled for May 11.
The Farm Energy webinar and publications are part of a series of farm energy conservation and efficiency educational materials being developed through the ISU Farm Energy Initiative. The purpose is to increase farmers' awareness of opportunities for improving efficient use of farm energy. The initiative also will help farmers and utility providers to explore alternatives to reduce farm energy demand and to improve overall profitability in a rapidly changing energy environment.

Qt is a C++ development framework and widget toolkit for building cross-platform software. It was originally created by Trolltech, a Norwegian software company that was acquired by Nokia in 2008.
Trolltech had a dual-licensing business model—the company made the toolkit available under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) for open source developers and offered commercial licenses for developing proprietary software. Nokia later relicensed Qt under the Lesser GNU General Public License (LGPL), allowing to be used for proprietary development at no cost.
The shift to a more permissive license has helped to accelerate adoption of Qt, but it was already widely used in the software industry prior to Nokia's acquisition of Trolltech. A large number of mainstream software products are built with Qt, including applications developed by Google, Amazon, Skype, and Adobe. Qt is also used by many companies to build specialized internal tools. One prominent example is Dreamworks, which uses Qt extensively for a growing number of its bespoke animation tools.
Qt is officially supported on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Symbian, and MeeGo. The Qt libraries abstract away many of the underlying differences between the operating systems, making it easy for Qt applications to be ported to all of the supported platforms. Qt's widget toolkit supports native theming on Windows and Mac OS X.
The Qt Lighthouse project makes it relatively easy to bring Qt to additional operating systems or embedded platforms. There are unofficial Qt ports for many environments, including Haiku, Android, NaCl, and webOS.
Nokia intended to put Qt the center of its mobile platform strategy, with the aim of using the toolkit's inherent conduciveness to application portability as means of unifying application development between its legacy Symbian operating system and the nascent Linux-based MeeGo project.
The long-term future of Qt at Nokia is currently in question due to the company's [transition to Windows Phone 7. Despite the fact that the new operating system won't support Qt, Nokia continues to actively develop the toolkit. Nokia sold the commercial licensing and support component of the Qt business to Digia in 2011, which will help distribute Qt maintainership and ensure that the toolkit will continue to be commercially supported regardless of what happens to Nokia.

REPUBLIC REPUBLIC – In the midst of a federal review process that has taken five years and cost more than $10 million, Kinross Gold Corp. is pulling the plug on a proposed exploration project near Buckhorn mine to focus elsewhere.
The U.S. Forest Service has been working on the draft environmental impact statement since 2009 and may not be ready to issue a record of decision until 2016.
As a result, the company withdrew from the project yesterday, noting it couldn't continue spending money on a process that has no set end in sight, Kinross spokeswoman Deana Zakar said.
"It was a difficult decision to make," she said. "It was costly and it was taking a very long time."
Meanwhile, she said operations at Buckhorn mine itself are continuing on as usual with all 230 employees and about 130 contractors.
U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Spokane, has taken the federal government to task for holding the project back.
McMorris Rodgers said the withdrawal of the proposal "is a prime example of federal regulations stifling innovation and job creation."
"This overreach is costly to the community, and hurts the hardworking men and women of eastern Washington," she said. "As Kinross continues to explore opportunities in Washington state, I am hopeful we can work to bring new job possibilities to Ferry County and Okanogan County, and to all of Eastern Washington."
A more detailed story will be published in the joint Sunday issue of The Chronicle/Wenatchee World.

Name: Dave
Gender: male
Age: 40
Location: Wisconsin
I have a boyfriend that I love very much. We have been together for over 6 years and we care for one another very much. The problem is that we never have sex. The last time was probably two years ago and that time he just took care of me and that was it. I haven't seen him climax in years. I asked him if there's a problem with me and he says no. I know he still has a sex drive because I've caught him masturbating once. When I bring up the subject he says he knows we need to work on it but that's as far as it goes. I know he's not cheating, but I can't say the same about myself. Should I feel guilty for seeking sex outside our relationship without his permission? In the past I've felt horrible about this, but my frustration is overriding my guilt. But it still bothers me because I am not being the moral person I was raised to be. I've asked him about opening our relationship, but he doesn't like that idea either. What am I supposed to do?
Sad to say there's not much a couple can do to either beef up a sex drive or cool one down, when one or the other partner has no will to do so. And I would say that if you guys have been living successfully like this for four years, there's little chance of turning this around. I understand your frustration about the sex thing, but I also hear you say that everything else is pretty OK.
So let me ask, is the sex thing with your partner so important that you want to risk upsetting the whole apple cart?
If, as you say, you are feeling guilty about going outside your relationship to find the sexual satisfaction you need and want, then it is high time for you to have a chat with your partner and pound out some new relationship perimeters. The tension you are experiencing between your sexual desires and your moral compass is a real good thing. It ought not be denied. But like I always say, these can be very difficult negotiations to hammer out. However, not to try to come to some kind of accommodation to insure the sexual health and wellbeing of both is, I believe, a form of sexual abuse.
You might consider the upfront approach: "Honey, I can't live without sex. You and I haven't been sexual together for ages. I can no longer abide the status quo. Here's what I propose. You are my partner; I love you very much. I will always bring you the gift of my sexuality first. And I give you the right of first refusal. If you're not interested, I will honor that and not pester you for what I need and desire. However, if that's the case, I intend to look for what I need elsewhere. Living without partnered sex is no longer an option for me."
The important thing here is, regardless how you approach the subject, there's no need to sink to the lowest common denominator.
But, for the sake of argument, let's just say that your hubby is still interested in sex, maybe even sex with you. Perhaps you could be asking yourself; is the sex you have with your partner is just boring? And you're misinterpreting his boredom as disinterest? You say he masturbates. What's in his mind (or on the computer) when he does? Would you even know? Ever thought of asking? Maybe he's just too self-conscious to come right out with it and ask for what he wants from you. Is there any way you could entice him back to bed with a little spice? Would he respond to some porn, or toys, or even a three-way?
Maybe it's just as well there's no sex in your relationship, you seem to be getting along very well otherwise. But only a frank and open discussion with your man is gonna shed the necessary light on this situation.
See Dave, you have lots of options. It's time to be creative, like the fabulous homo you are.
Good Luck!
