Three Wabash seniors were honored Saturday morning with the College's top honors for a graduate.
West Lafayette native Wesley Jacks was awarded the John Maurice Butler Prize. The Award was established in 1923 and is annually given to the graduating Wabash senior thought to have the finest character and greatest ability. (Click here for Senior Breakfast Photo Album.)
Jacks was a psychology major and independent. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa his senior year. He appeared in numerous Wabash theater productions. He will attend University of Wisconsin for graduate school.
For the first time since 1996 there were co-winners of the Frank Hughs Sparks Award for attitude and contribution to the life of the College. Chris Ogden, from Schererville, and Jared Bogan, Struthers, OH., were the 2006 winners.
The award is named in honor of Wabash's eighth president.
Ogden, an economics major, was a member of Sigma Chi and the Little Giant Football team. He was honored during the spring Awards Chapel with the Wall Street Journal Award and Indianapolis Alumni Student Athlete Award
Bogan was a history major, Lambda Chi Alpha member, and baseball team participant. He was honored May 11 by being named to ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-District V Baseball Team. During Awards Chapel, Bogan won the John F. Charles World History Prize, Caleb Mills Teacher-in-Training Excellence Award, Pete Vaughan Outstanding Athlete Award and Indianapolis Alumni Student Athlete Award.
The Dean's breakfast concluded with remarks from Dean Raymond Williams. The College Dean reflected on his senior luncheons with more than 100 members of the graduating class. Seniors were asked about the most important aspect of their Wabash College education what should be preserved for the future.
Williams said the characteristics most mentioned were the "rigor" of the college, the Gentlemen's Rule, the College's size and the opportunity to experience an expanded world through study abroad and immersion learning programs. He related those characteristics to the College mission statement and called those words the charge he would leave the Class of 2006 with as they enter the world.

Grammy Award-winner among new acts announced for the Illinois State
Memories' introduced as 2014 fair theme
Send a link to a friend
[April 29, 2014]
SPRINGFIELD — Rapper Pitbull and
the Chicago cast of the "Million Dollar Quartet" have been added to
the Illinois State Fair Grandstand entertainment offerings. They
will join country artists Florida Georgia Line, Hunter Hayes and
Jake Owen, rock legends Boston and Steely Dan, and the 10 finalists
on "American Idol" to form a star-studded 2014 concert lineup.
Latin Grammy winner Pitbull, whose single
"Timber" just recently became his second No. 1 hit in the United
States, will perform Aug. 9. Tickets for the show, which range in
price from $40 for a Tier 3 Grandstand seat to $65 for a VIPit track
ticket in front of the stage, will go on sale Saturday, May 3, at 10
a.m. through Ticketmaster.
The cast of "Million Dollar Quartet" will give a free
concert Aug. 11. The hit musical is currently running at the Apollo
Theater in Chicago and Harrah's Showroom in Las Vegas and was
inspired by the famed 1956 recording session that brought together
rock 'n' roll icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and
Carl Perkins for the first and only time.
"This year's entertainment is going to be something you don't
want to miss," said Amy Bliefnick, state fair manager. "From the
first night to the last, the acts are top-notch. I'm looking forward
to great shows and memorable performances."
The 2014 Grandstand concert series opens Aug. 8, when the "American
Idol Live!" tour rolls into Springfield. The tour will give fans
of the hit TV series a chance to see the top 10 finalists from the
current season: C.J. Harris, Jena Irene, Caleb Johnson, Jessica
Meuse, MK Nobilette, Alex Preston, Dexter Roberts, Majesty Rose,
Malaya Watson and Sam Woolf.
Florida Georgia Line will perform Aug. 10, the day after the
Pitbull concert. The vocal duo has rocketed to stardom since the
first four singles from the platinum-selling debut album "Here's to
the Good Times" shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay
chart, including "Cruise," the best-selling digital country song of
all time and the Country Music Association's 2013 "Single of the
Aug. 12 will feature a "triple bill" of classic rock. Headlining
the show will be '70s supergroup Boston, whose hits,
including "More Than A Feeling," "Peace of Mind," "Long Time,"
"Don't Look Back" and "Amanda," remain a staple of classic rock
radio today. Joining Boston will be the Canadian rock group April
Wine, which has released more than 20 albums and performed
together for more than 40 years, and Sweet, a British glam
band best known for songs such as "Ballroom Blitz" and "Little
Singer and songwriter Hunter Hayes, the youngest male solo
act ever to reach the top of the Hot Country Songs chart, will take
the Grandstand stage for a concert Aug. 13. Hayes already has six
hit singles to his credit, including "Wanted," which reached No. 1
just after his 21st birthday in September 2012.
[to top of second column]
On Aug. 15, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Steely Dan
will perform. The duo released a string of hit songs in the
1970s, including such classic rock staples as "Rikki Don't Lose
That Number," "Do It Again," "Hey Nineteen," "Reelin' In the
Years" and "Deacon Blues."
Country singer Jake Owen, the 2012 American Country Awards
"Breakthrough Artist of the Year," is the featured entertainment
Aug. 16. Owen already has nine top 20 singles on the Billboard Hot
Country Songs chart to his credit, including the No. 1 smash hits
"Barefoot Blue Jean Night" and "Alone with You."
Performers have yet to be booked for Aug. 14 and 17.
In addition to Pitbull tickets, fairgoers also can begin buying
tickets Saturday for the Hunter Hayes and Steely Dan concerts. Those
will be available online at
http://www.ticketmaster.com/, by phone at 800-745-3000 or in
person at all Ticketmaster outlets.
Tickets for the "American Idol Live!" tour can be purchased the
following Saturday, May 10. Tickets for the other announced acts
already are on sale.
The new concert bookings were announced during a preview party on
the fairgrounds to begin the countdown to the fair. The event also
included the unveiling of the 2014 Illinois State Fair theme,
"Making Memories."
"For many Illinoisans, a trip to the fair has become a family
tradition, an annual pilgrimage to celebrate our state's people,
culture and heritage," said Bob Flider, agriculture director. "And
the lifelong memories of those visits have kept families coming back
for generations. I invite your family to make memories of its own
when this tradition known as the Illinois State Fair is renewed Aug.

I was wondering if anyone could offer some intuition for why Alexander duality holds. Of course, the proof is easy enough to check, and it is also easy to work out many examples by hand. However, I don't have any feeling for why it is true.
To give you an example of what I am looking for, when I think of Poincare duality I think of the picture in terms of triangulations and dual triangulations. Is there any picture like that for Alexander duality? Is there at least maybe some kind of obvious bilinear pairing between the two sides of it or something?

Fallopian tubes are tubes that lead from the ovaries to the uterus. A tubal ligation is a sterilization procedure to close the tubes.
|Options to Close Tubes
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Tubal ligation is done to prevent pregnancy. If you have this surgery, you will still ovulate and menstruate. The cut or blocked tubes keep the egg and sperm separated. When the egg and sperm cannot meet, fertilization does not happen and pregnancy cannot occur.
This surgery is not recommended as a temporary or reversible procedure. Make sure you and your partner consider all birth control options.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Potential problems include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia
- Damage to other organs
- Ectopic pregnancy
Some factors that may increase the risk of problems include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
A pregnancy test will be done.
Leading up to your procedure:
- You may need to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
You may receive 1 of the following:
- General anesthesia —blocks pain and keeps you asleep through the surgery
- Spinal anesthesia —numbs the area from the chest down to the legs; given as an injection in the back
Description of the Procedure
A small cut will be made in the area of the navel. A harmless gas will then be inserted through this cut and into your abdomen. The gas will inflate the abdominal cavity. This will make it easier to view the internal organs. A long, thin instrument called a laparoscope will be inserted. It will contain a small camera and lighting system, which will let the doctor see inside the abdomen. A second cut may be made just above the pubic hair to insert an instrument for grasping the fallopian tubes. The tubes will be closed in 1 of the following ways:
- Sealing by creating scar tissue (cauterization)
- Applying plastic bands or clips
The instruments will then be removed and the openings will be closed with stitches.
In some cases, the doctor may switch to an open surgery . This involves making a larger incision.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be brought into the recovery room. You will rest there until the anesthesia wears off. You may receive pain medication.
How Long Will It Take?
20-30 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will keep you comfortable and pain free during the procedure. You may feel bloated and have pain in your shoulder or chest because of the air inserted into your abdomen. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Post-procedure Care
You can usually go home the same day. You may need to stay longer if you have complications.
Follow your doctor's instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Follow your doctor's instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision sites
- Severe and continuous abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting lasting more than a day
- Pain and or swelling in one or both legs
- Heavy vaginal bleeding after the first day
- Missed menstrual period
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical help right away.

(From Latin ex-tendere, to spread out.)
That material substance is not perfectly continuous in its structure, as it appears to our gross senses, the physical sciences demonstrate. The microscope reveals pores in the most compact matter, while the permeation of gases and even of liquids through solids indicates that the densest bodies would probably present to a sufficiently penetrating eye a sponge-like structure throughout. This fact, together with the difficulty of explaining how the senses can perceive extension, has led many theorists to deny its objectivity, although, on the other hand, the first of modern philosophers, Descartes, was so impressed by the universality of extension that he held it to be the very essence of matter. Kant makes extension a subjective form, an original condition of sensuous faculty which when stimulated by the sense-object stamps the impression accordingly. Others, with Leibniz, resolve matter into simple unextended points (monads), which by their agitation are supposed to produce in us the impression of continuous extension. Others, with Boscovich (d. 1787), subtilize matter into simple forces which some hold to be "virtually" extended. The Atomists (physical and chemical) dissolve bodies into minute particles or atoms (which some consider to be absolutely, others only physically, indivisible) of certain elementary substances, which hitherto have defied further analysis but which may eventually turn out to be merely varying arrangements of some primordial homogeneous material, the radical constituent of the universe. The present teaching of Catholic philosophy on the subject may be summarized as follows: Extension is either successive (fluent, as that of a stream and of time), or permanent. The latter may be viewed as either
Continuous extension is an objective property of matter, not a mere mental form moulding the sensuous impression produced in the sensory organs by some sort of physical motion. What it is that extension immediately affects whether the ultimate atoms, the constituent molecules, or the gross mass of matter we are unable in the present stage of physical science to decide. Even should it turn out, however, as many conjecture, that the densest solid to say nothing of a liquid or a gas is but what might be called an "infinitely" complex arrangement of infinitesimal corpuscles atoms or electrons gyrating in a matrix of ether, continuous extension would still remain real (objective), though it would then be the immediate property of the constituent corpuscles and the ether instead of a property of the gross mass. It is experimentally demonstrable that sensuous impressions are aroused in us by bodies as extended and resistant. Now if bodies were constituted of simple, unextended points monads or forces these could not stimulate the sensory organs, since such elements, apart from the fact that they would all coalesce and copenetrate, could not be the subjects of material activity (etherial or aerial vibrations, chemical reactions, i.e. the immediate sense-stimuli). Nor could the organs evoke the sensation, since in the hypothesis they, too, being made up of unextended elements, would be incapable of material action. Neither will it do to say that the motion of the supposed "points" might evoke sensation, since being unextended they would be imperceptible whether in motion or at rest.
Extension is an "absolute accident", that is not a mere mode in which substance exists, as, for instance, are motion and rest. It seems to have a certain distinct entity of its own. This, of course, would most probably never have been suspected by the human mind unaided by Revelation. But given the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, wherein the extensional dimensions and sensible qualities of bread and wine persist after the conversion of the substance of the bread and wine into His Body and Blood, reason, speculating on the doctrine, discerns some grounds for the possibility of the real distinction and even severance between substance and local extension. In the first place there are motives for inferring a real distinction between substance and extension (actual and local), or, in other words, that extension does not constitute the essence of material substance (as Descartes maintained that it does):

Bus routes, middle-school grades dropped
Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Arts to lose middle school students
Trustees for the Vista Unified School District voted Thursday night to cut 11 bus routes and eliminate grades six through eight at the Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Arts.
Several parents spoke to the board in support of the bus routes, but even more came for a rally to save the district's adult-education program. Dozens of people stayed past 11 p.m. to air their comments to the trustees, with many holding signs that read "Keep Adult Education Open," "Don't Stop Our Dreams" and other slogans.
Trustees had voted this month to send layoff notices to 80 teachers, an assistant principal and one program supervisor in the adult school because of uncertainty about how the program would be affected by Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to shift administration of such programs to community college districts. The layoffs may be rescinded later as details of the proposal become clearer; the district went ahead and issued the notices because under state law, they cannot be sent after March 15.
Because adult education was not on the board's agenda, trustees did not discuss the public's comments about it Thursday night.
Superintendent Devin Vodicka said he will travel to Sacramento next week to talk to state officials about the community support for adult-education programs run by K-12 districts.
Trustees did discuss and vote on eliminating bus routes after listening to a budget report about projected deficits during the next few years. The district's second interim financial report includes expected revenue of $176 million and expenses of $190 million in the 2013-14 school year.
If deficit spending continues at the same rate, the report projects that the district's reserve will drop from $35 million this school year to $10 million and then $1.5 million in the next two years.
With Trustee Jim Gibson dissenting, the board voted to eliminate 11 bus routes to save $770,000 and to cut two transportation staff positions to save an additional $100,000.
The board also supported a plan to reduce the number of special-education students using buses. About 21 percent of special-education students in the district ride buses, while the state average is 10 percent.
Of the $1.2 million the district hopes to save, Vodicka said $1 million could be used to reduce deficit spending and the rest should go toward vehicle replacements to the aging bus fleet.
Bus routes will remain for Breeze Hill and Mission Meadow elementary schools, and the district will study options for maintaining two other routes.
Most bus routes in the district are mandated for special-education students or as part of the federal No Child Left Behind law, leaving only 15 routes left to cut. Vodicka said the district will study the prospect of creating walking routes to various schools, with help from a San Diego group that specializes in safe walkways.
Also on Thursday, trustees voted to convert Vista Academy of Visual and Performing Arts from a K-8 school to K-5. Vodicka said the change was necessary because the school's format is not cost-effective, some students can't take certain electives, and the school is not drawing students from outside its boundaries, as originally intended.

Get Juicy, Slaw-Covered Burger Goodness from Le Pigeon in Portland, OR
Le Pigeon
738 East Burnside Street, Portland OR 97214 (map); 503-546-8796; lepigeon.com
Cooking Method: Grilled
Short Order: This "fancy-pants" burger is a juicy, messy, slaw-covered, mustard-punching delight
Want Fries With That? The crispy little potato nubs are great, but the salad is a good choice too
Price: Burger w/potatoes, $11; w/mixed greens, $13
Notes: Only five burgers served per night
Fellow Serious Eats editor Erin Zimmer and I went on a three-day trip to Portland a few weeks ago to do research (and by that I mean "eat way too much") for our upcoming Serious Eats book. The research focused mostly on street food, sandwiches, and breakfast, leaving little room for burgers—but before we left Ed Levine insisted that we add the burger from the acclaimed Le Pigeon to our impossibly long list of places to hit up.
And so with three other friends in tow, we popped into Le Pigeon for an early dinner (after which we went to Potato Champion and Whiffies, followed by our best impressions of beached whales). And you should get there early, right when they open at 5 p.m., because they only serve five burgers a night. There's no evidence of this on their menu, which lists the burger as the last option on the menu sans any warning such as, "THERE ARE ONLY FIVE OF THESE A NIGHT."
Our waiter explained that James Beard-nominated chef/owner Gabriel Rucker has been serving the burger ever since Le Pigeon opened in 2006, but as their menu has evolved since then, so has allocation of their kitchen's resources and chef's responsibilities. It would take too much out of the kitchen to make burgers all night, but by limiting them to only five a night they can still offer them with the peace of mind that their kitchen won't suffer from meat patty-induced collapse.
Sometimes they sell out quickly; other times they don't sell any at all. Considering our party of five claimed three burgers right when they opened, methinks that was a "sell out" day.
Their burgers are made with eight ounces of Cascade Natural Beef ground in-house, grilled with flames-a-plenty, and topped with Tillamook four-year aged white cheddar, grilled pickles onions, iceberg lettuce slaw, housemade aioli, housemade ketchup, and housemade Dijon mustard on a grilled ciabatta bun from Ken's Bakery. For sides you can choose between crispy pan-fried potato chunks or a salad of mixed young greens.
We cut our medium rare burgers in half to share. And then the juices flowed. Oh man.
This was one of the juiciest meat sponge-y burgers I've ever had, and due to the mass of creamy slaw on top and slathering of aioli, also one of the messiest. The slaw was my favorite topping and certainly worth the mess—it lent cool crispiness to every bite. When seemingly half of it fell out of my burger as I worked my way through it, I ate the remains with my fork. Note to self: must procure more slaw-covered burgers.
Overall, I liked all the toppings—the slaw, tangy cheese, sweet ketchup, and mildly tart pickled onions went together and complemented the beef—except for the mustard. It was tear-inducing, blow-out-your-sinuses strong. Thankfully, it wasn't in every bite, but when it was you couldn't taste anything else. Even Erin, self-described mustard lover (she did orchestrate our mustard taste test after all) said the mustard was a bit much, although she did enjoy it on the burger. The mustard had an army of toppings to compete with, and compete, it did. By shoving a big 'ol roundhouse kick to their metaphorical groins. And to my nasal passages.
If you like mustard, you'll be into this burger. If you don't, you might gag after a few bites. And if you're neutral like I am, you'll probably still like it.
Although the bottom bun looks totally soaked in the photo, it held up to the very end. The soft, slightly chewy bun was a great fit for the burger for not interfering with the fillings in texture or volume.
Despite the mustard, I'd totally eat this burger again. It's a fantastic deal for only $11 with potatoes, or $13 with the salad. Although crispy potato nubs would be the more popular pairing for a burger, the salad dressed in a light lemon vinaigrette made me happier—maybe because I don't eat enough salads (nor come across ones that a perfectly dressed), but eat far too many versions of fried potatoes.

we will walk the Biafo-Hispar traverse this summer...
we have basic mountaineering experience, but we will go with a Pakastani mountain guide on this epic trek.
we have some extra days and we are looking into "climbing" an easy trekking peak on this traverse... around snow lake.
people having info or experience in Workman Peak (5885m) which is supposed to be climable from the Hispar La?
is this suitable for trekkers having "climbed" Nevado Pisco in Peru and Huayna Potosi in Bolivia... these peaks have PD alpine rating

The Environmental Protection Agency has been kind enough to begin sending out regular e-mail updates with press releases about actions difference agencies in the administration are doing to move us forward on sustainability. Below are a few highlights from the e-mail.
Climate Change Adaptation Task Force
On October 14, 2010, the Climate Change Adaptation Task Force, co-chaired by the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), released its interagency report outlining recommendations to President Obama for how Federal Agency policies and programs can better prepare the United States to respond to the impacts of climate change. The report recommends that the Federal Government implement actions to expand and strengthen the Nation's capacity to better understand, prepare for, and respond to climate change. These recommended actions include:
- Make adaptation a standard part of Agency planning to ensure that resources are invested wisely and services and operations remain effective in a changing climate.
- Ensure scientific information about the impacts of climate change is easily accessible so public and private sector decision-makers can build adaptive capacity into their plans and activities.
- Align Federal efforts to respond to climate impacts that cut across jurisdictions and missions, such as those that threaten water resources, public health, oceans and coasts, and communities.
- Develop a U.S. strategy to support international adaptation that leverages resources across the Federal Governmentto help developing countries reduce their vulnerability to climate change through programs that are consistent with the core principles and objectives of the President's new Global Development Policy.
- Build strong partnerships to support local, state, and tribal decision makers in improving management of places and infrastructure most likely to be affected by climate change.
The Task Force's work has been guided by a strategic vision of a resilient, healthy, and prosperous Nation in the face of a changing climate. To achieve this vision, the Task Force identified a set of guiding principles that public and private decision-makers should consider in designing and implementing adaptation strategies. They include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Adopt Integrated Approaches: Adaptation should be incorporated into core policies, planning, practices, and programs whenever possible.
- Prioritize the Most Vulnerable: Adaptation strategies should help people, places, and infrastructure that are most vulnerable to climate impacts and be designed and implemented with meaningful involvement from all parts of society.
- Use Best-Available Science: Adaptation should be grounded in the best-available scientific understanding of climate change risks, impacts, and vulnerabilities.
- Apply Risk-Management Methods and Tools: Adaptation planning should incorporate risk-management methods and tools to help identify, assess, and prioritize options to reduce vulnerability to potential environmental, social, and economic implications of climate change.
- Apply Ecosystem-based Approaches: Adaptation should, where appropriate, take into account strategies to increase ecosystem resilience and protect critical ecosystem services on which humans depend, to reduce vulnerability of human and natural systems to climate change.
The Task Force will continue to meet over the next year as an interagency forum for discussing the Federal Government's adaptation approach and to support and monitor the implementation of recommended actions in the Progress Report. It will prepare another report in October 2011 that documents progress toward implementing its recommendations and provides additional recommendations for refining the Federal approach to adaptation, as appropriate.
The Interagency Climate Change Adaptation Progress Report is available here.
Department of Energy Offers Conditional Commitment for a Loan Guarantee to Support World's Largest Wind Project
Recovery Act-Supported Loan Will Create Jobs and Avoid Over 1.2 Million Tons of Carbon Pollution Annually
Washington – U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced a conditional commitment to provide a partial guarantee for a $1.3 billion loan in support of the world's largest wind farm to date. The loan will finance the Caithness Shepherds Flat wind project, an 845 megawatt wind-powered electrical generating facility in eastern Oregon sponsored by Caithness Energy LLC and General Electric (GE) Energy Financial Services.
"Thanks to the Recovery Act, we are creating the clean energy jobs of the future while positioning the U.S. as a world leader in the production of renewable energy," said Secretary Chu. "This project is part of the Administration's commitment to doubling our renewable energy generation by 2012 while putting Americans to work in communities across the country."
The Caithness Shepherds Flat wind project consists of 338 wind turbines supplied by GE. The project will use GE's 2.5xl turbines, which are designed to provide high efficiency and increased reliability, maintainability and grid integration. The wind farm is the first in North America to deploy these turbines, which have been used in Europe and Asia. Once completed, the project will sell 100 percent of the power generated to Southern California Edison through 20-year fixed price power purchase agreements. The wind facility will avoid 1,215,991 tons of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions from 212,141 passenger vehicles. According to Caithness, the project will directly create 400 construction jobs, followed by 35 permanent jobs on site.
The Caithness Shepherds Flat project is the largest project to date to receive an offer of a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee under the Financial Institution Partnership Program (FIPP), a Department of Energy program supported by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In a FIPP financing, the Department of Energy guarantees up to 80 percent of a loan provided to a renewable energy project by qualified financial institutions. The $1.3 billion loan is expected to be funded by a group of institutional investors and commercial banks led by Citi, as lender-applicant and joint lead arranger, and three other joint lead arrangers, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., RBS Securities and WestLB Securities Inc.

WASHINGTON – In an effort to improve environmental literacy and stewardship across the country, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded more than $1.5 million in grants to 14 organizations in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The organizations will use the money to fund environmental education efforts, which work to inform the public of environmental issues and help them make educated choices on actions they can take to reduce negative environmental impacts.
"Every American community relies on clean air, water and land for their environmental and economic health. We want to help expand awareness on how they can get involved in environmental protection," EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said. "These grants will help communities across the country show how a clean environment starts at home."
The grants help EPA expand the conversation on environmentalism by increasing the number of underserved audiences that participate in the agency's programs and activities. This year, some of the grant money went toward helping tribal communities set up leadership programs, letting students step outside the classroom in order to learn about the environment, and working to help students understand the importance of water quality, among many other projects. Highlights from this year's recipients include:
- The Native Wellness Institute of Portland, Ore. received $102,000 to implement the "Native Youth Environment Warriors" project, which will provide environmental education and leadership training and support to native youth and their community mentors to design and implement environmental projects in their tribal communities.
- The Island Institute of Rockland, Maine received nearly $124,000 for the "Energy for Maine" project, which includes community discussions and analysis of renewable energy sources. The project is aiming to increase home and school energy efficiency through student/teacher, and family-generated solutions for reducing energy consumption.
The annual awards are given to nonprofit organizations, government agencies, community groups, schools and universities. The recipients of the 2010 competition represent a mix of organizations addressing a variety of environmental issues from climate change to water quality, and dealing with local, regional, or national issues.
EPA awards the funds under the 1990 National Environmental Education Act, which gives the agency the authority to support and create environmental education programs nationwide.

EPA Awards $1.9 Million in Environmental Justice Grants
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $1.9 million in environmental justice grants to 76 non-profit organizations and local governments working on environmental justice issues nationwide. The grants are designed to help communities understand and address environmental challenges and create self-sustaining, community-based partnerships focused on improving human health and the environment at the local level. The grant program supports Administrator Lisa P. Jackson's priority to expand the conversation on environmentalism and work for environmental justice.
"Through our efforts to support local environmental justice projects, we are advancing EPA's mission to protect human health and the environment in communities overburdened by pollution," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "Providing training to develop a skilled green workforce will help communities become more resilient in the face of economic and environmental changes and help build healthy and sustainable communities."
The principles of environmental justice uphold the idea that all communities overburdened by pollution – particularly minority, low income and indigenous communities – deserve the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards, equal access to the decision-making process and a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work.
In addition to the traditional criteria, EPA encouraged applications focused on addressing the disproportionate impacts of climate change in communities by emphasizing climate equity, energy efficiency, renewable energy, local green economy, and green jobs capacity building. Grantee projects include trainings for local residents to increase recycling, avoiding heat stroke, improving indoor air quality, reducing carbon emissions through weatherization, and green jobs training programs.
Since 1994, the Environmental Justice Small Grants program has provided more than $21 million in funding to community-based nonprofit organizations and local governments working to address environmental justice issues in more than 1,200 communities. The $1.9 million in grant funding announced today is the largest amount of total funding in one year for environmental justice grants in more than a decade. The grant awards represent EPA's commitment to promoting community-based actions to address environmental justice issues.

The Weinstein Company has pushed back the release of director Andrew Dominik's (The Assassination of Jesse James) crime drama Killing Them Softly yet again. After previously being moved from September to October in order to swap with TWC's The Master, the film has now been pushed to November 30th so that it may be better positioned for awards season. Harvey Weinstein noted the attractiveness of the spot given that the Brad Pitt-starrer could open as the only major wide release that weekend, with the iffy John Cusack/Nicolas Cage serial killer drama The Frozen Ground its only real competition.
The Weinstein Company has a number of major players in the awards race this year—including The Master, Silver Linings Playbook, and Django Unchained—and it'll be interesting to see how they play their cards. Killing Them Softly premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to an extremely positive response, with many noting the film's strong political undertones and dialogue-driven narrative, so the film could be a major player in the Oscar race. Hit the jump to watch the pic's trailer.
Here's the official synopsis for Killing Them Softly:
Three dumb guys who think they're smart rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse. Brad Pitt plays the enforcer hired to track them down and restore order. KILLING THEM SOFTLY also features Richard Jenkins (THE VISITOR), James Gandolfini ("The Sopranos"), Ray Liotta (NARC), Scoot McNairy (MONSTERS), Ben Mendelsohn (ANIMAL KINGDOM), and Vincent Curatola ("The Sopranos"). Max Casella, Trevor Long, Slaine and Sam Shepard also make appearances. KILLING THEM SOFTLY is written for the screen and directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), and is based on the George V. Higgins novel, "Cogan's Trade." Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Steve Schwartz, Paula Mae Schwartz, and Anthony Katagas produced the film, with Roger Schwartz, Matthew Budman, Will French, and Douglas Saylor Jr. serving as co-producers. Director of photography Greig Fraser, and production and costume designer Patricia Norris led the creative behind-the-camera team. Casting for KILLING THEM SOFTLY was handled by Francine Maisler, and Brian A. Kates, A.C.E., served as editor. Executive producers are Megan Ellison, Marc Butan, Bill Johnson, Jim Seibel, Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, Adi Shankar and Spencer Silna.

Euphony is the acoustic effect produced when sounds are arranged in such a way as to please the ear. When musicians strive for it, the result is often stilted and saccharine. When they're hell-bent on eluding it, they risk eluding musicality as well.
Pianist Gerald Clayton does not seem capable of avoiding it. On Two-shade (artistShare), his debut release as a leader, his compositions and performances slip into the ear as easily and sweetly as pop music, yet they excite all the brain's jazz synapses. He and his telepathic mates—bassist Joe Sanders and drummer Justin Brown—manage to make complex music eminently accessible without watering it down.
How? The 26-year-old phenom is as musical as Mozart, and he wields a breathtaking technical command with the aplomb of an old pro. Thursday at the Outpost, the Gerald Clayton Trio will swing into action, and Albuquerque will have the opportunity to catch a rising star in the jazz firmament.
Growing up in a jazz household—his dad is bassist John Clayton; his uncle, saxophonist Jeff Clayton—probably did not slow young Gerald down in his musical development, but for 11 years, his focus was on the classical piano.
"I think definitely classical music prepares you just how to play the instrument. Technically, there's that aspect of it—the touch of the piano," says Clayton. "I think there are certain sensibilities that we get in classical music that aren't always as obvious in jazz. For instance, at the end of a tune, a kind of a cadence—there's sort of a breath that can't really be explained or written down or broken down, but it just feels right, sort of the exact amount of space between those last two notes. So it's a lot of that sort of thing," he says. "But you know, the more I think about it, I try not to think of jazz and classical as being really different things. It's all sounds, and it's all expressing a certain story or emotion, and I'm just trying to tap into that."
After those 11 years, Clayton enrolled in and graduated from the jazz studies program at the University of Southern California and spent a year at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, along the way studying with Shelly Berg, Billy Childs and Kenny Barron.
Among his many awards and accomplishments is a second-place finish in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz piano competition, and two Grammy nominations: one for best improvised jazz solo (2009) on "All of You" from the trio's album Two-shade, and one for best jazz instrumental composition (2010) for "Battle Circle" on the Clayton Brothers' Grammy-nominated album The New Song and Dance, on which he plays piano. More Grammy nominations may be ahead, as the trio has just released its latest recording, Bond (artistShare).
Just as he thinks past the differences between jazz and classical music, Clayton is happy to merge classic and contemporary jazz influences in his compositions and performances.
"The main thing I'm striving for when I'm playing is to just be expressing myself with honesty," he says. "My influences are a lot more sonically pleasing—the Oscar Petersons and the Benny Greens. That's definitely my home base, but it doesn't stop there. I really admire some music that some people would think is not even music."
Clayton is ready to bring whatever the narrative line calls for, but his ultimate goal is to "make every note count, make every note relevant." On Two-shade, indeed, the only thing missing is what's not missed at all, and the trio plays with a responsiveness and a level of musicianship that promise a scintillating live performance.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are meeting to discuss providing billions of dollars in funding to avoid corporate defaults on a global scale.
Leaders of the IMF and the World Bank are meeting in Azerbaijan, an energy-dependent country, to discuss how they can help companies in emerging markets that depend on rising commodity prices. Those companies are facing high recessionary conditions, such as in Brazil and Venezuela, falling foreign investment and foreign capital inflows, as in central Asia and Latin America, or falling growth rates, as in China and Asia.
A potential powder keg of risks sits within the large, often government-supported companies in these nations, whose low efficiency and productivity leave them particularly dependent on national support in lean times. Yet currency pressures in large emerging markets, most notably in China, are limiting how much financial support those countries can offer their state-owned and state-supported enterprises (SOEs and SSEs).
As a result, the IMF and World Bank are planning to step in and provide support.
Billions in Emergency Loans
Financial Times reports that both bodies will make a $4 billion emergency loan package available to weak corporations in emerging markets, although some analysts suspect the actual loans required are much higher and that it will pressure both bodies to offer significantly more funding in the near term. The World Bank said the meeting and its actions to support emerging nations are "in response to the pressure on the local currency and low oil prices," while many analysts warn that default rates in emerging markets are only going to expand, as they have done over the past 18 months.
Emerging Market Weakness
Emerging market equities are nearly 20% down from their late-2015 highs and are over 32% down from their 2015 height, according to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar (USD) is up 6.3% from its lowest point in the last year, which was exactly a year ago.
The weakness partly reflects a fear that a lack of liquidity will hurt emerging markets. Foreign investors are less eager to invest in these markets due to the strengthening dollar, providing limited capital access for firms. Additionally, dollar-denominated bonds in emerging markets are placing pressure on firms' balance sheets, as their local currency-denominated revenues become less valuable relative to their USD-denominated liabilities to investors.
In response to this troubling dynamic, the People's Bank of China auctioned 340 billion yuan of reverse-repurchase agreements on Thursday, shortly after auctioning 440 billion yuan two days before. The sudden injection of $118 billion worth of reverse-repos adds significant cash to the Chinese economy, providing companies that owe in U.S. dollars liquidity.
The move has made little impact on the renminbi, which has already climbed significantly after months of consistent devaluation, bringing the exchange rate to 6.58 per USD.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and change your closets to spring and summer clothing. Say good night, bulky North Face vest! Time for hibernation. LET'S GO!
SOUTH PARK – 10:00PM (Comedy Central)
It's the boys' 200th episode, and let us now look back at the remarkable run this series has had. 200 episodes. 13 years(!). Any number of television barriers broken, including the s-bomb, talking feces, orally powered gyrocycles, and so much more. It's a rare series that seems to grow stronger each year, and it's aged far better than "The Simpsons" has. It's an institution, and it all started with some five-minute animated holiday card. Unbelievable. Hats off to Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker. Tonight, ridiculed celebrities sue the town of South Park. Something tells me this will backfire on them. ANTICIPATION: STILL GOING STRONG!
It's the final episode of "Ugly Betty," forever and ever. Sorry, you Bettyphiles. And it starts at 10:01PM. Come on, ABC. You're already canceling the poor show. Did you really have to shave off that minute? That's one less minute I get to watch! You've shortchanged me! I'll never forgive you, child! (snaps fingers, walks away). ANTICIPATION: UGLY ENDING
Adam Lambert and his spiky jock strap perform, followed by one of the contestants getting the boot. And after watching Lambert perform, it's a good bet you'll want them ALL booted. ANTICIPATION: GLAM!
Note to TLC: If the guy is 650 pounds, I already know he's a virgin. Call it intuition. Now "650-Lb. Lothario"? That would surprise me. I hope there's no chest waxing scene tonight. ANTICIPATION: BIG LOVE!
TOP CHEF MASTERS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network)
Tonight the chefs prepare dinner for a celebrity's birthday party. This is why I need to be a celebrity. Natalie Portman will not appreciate that lamb carpaccio as I would. ANTICIPATION: MMMMMM
Wednesday Watch List: "South Park" Turns 200!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and change your closets to spring and summer clothing. Say good night, bulky North Face vest! Time for hibernation. LET'S GO!

You have to give Miguel Cotto an enormous amount of credit. Not just because he is a three-division world champion and has an upcoming opportunity to become the first Puerto Rican fighter to win titles in four weight classes.
It's because he has accomplished all that while fighting quite a few ring wars over the past 13 years, getting up from knockdowns to win, and by coming back strongly after taking some lickings that would have others with less courage retiring.
Cotto was bashed around by Antonio Margarito, stopped in the 11th round of a brutal fight in July 2008. He responded by winning another world title with a fifth-round TKO of Michael Jennings, then defending that title with a split decision over Joshua Clottey.
Cotto got stopped again, by Manny Pacquiao, in the 12th round. He came back to stop Yuri Foreman, Ricardo Mayorga and the aforementioned Margarito inside the distance. Foreman was not great, but he was a champion. Mayorga is sloppy and was past his prime, as was Margarito by then. But again, keep in mind that Cotto had already been busted up quite badly by Margarito and Pacquiao. Yet, he remained undeterred.
Cotto again faced adversity. He bloodied Floyd Mayweather Jr., but lost decisively. He also lost a wide decision to slick Austin Trout. Undaunted, he stopped Delvin Rodriguez in the third round in his most recent fight in October.
Cotto, now 33, just doesn't seem to stay down long. And a week from Saturday — on June 7 — Cotto will try to cement his legacy even further when he challenges Argentina's Sergio Martinez for his middleweight championship at Madison Square Garden in New York City (on HBO pay-per-view).
Cotto isn't boasting that a victory over Martinez (51-2-2, 28 KOs) would make him the greatest ever from the island. But he does take some pride in knowing that he could make history in his beloved homeland with a title in a fourth weight class.
"It is a personal matter," Cotto said. "A personal achievement that I want to win and I am working for it on June 7. It doesn't mean that I am going to be better than Wilfredo Gomez, better than Félix Trinidad, better than all of the great champions that Puerto Rico has produced. But for me, Miguel, it will be the greatest accomplishment of my career."
Cotto (38-4, 31 KOs) was coaxed into expounding.
"I am just waking up every day trying to do my best in preparation so I am at my best for every opportunity that I have to fight," he said. "I don't want to be named, myself, as one of the elite boxers of Puerto Rico — that's for the fans and for the people that know about boxing.
"I just want to do my job the best I can and I am going to do that the rest of my career."
World-class trainer Abel Sanchez believes a Cotto win over Martinez would put Cotto at the top of the charts with the others, especially since, in Sanchez's mind, Martinez remains a "formidable champion" even though he's had some tough moments in recent fights.
"If he beats Martinez and there is no controversy, I believe it would put Cotto up there with them," said West Covina's Sanchez, who trains middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
Sanchez is most impressed that Cotto has moved up through the weight classes with great success.
Cotto is being trained by Freddie Roach these days. This will be their second fight together.
Donaire back roots
It was a year to remember for Nonito Donaire in 2012. He went 4-0 with two knockouts — all world-title fights — and was the consensus Fighter of the Year. But he got cocky.
When in 2013 he was schooled by fellow super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux in a unification bout in April 2013, Donaire had his first loss since March 2001.
Even in a rebound victory in a rematch against Vic Darchinyan that ended with Darchinyan being stopped in the ninth round in November, Donaire (32-2, 20 KOs) didn't look terrific.
He has a chance to rectify a not-so-good 2013 with a victory Saturday afternoon against featherweight champion Simpiwe Vetyeka (26-2, 16 KOs) of South Africa. They will tangle at the Venetian in Macao, China, and it will be televised by HBO at 4 p.m.
"Last year I got away from what made me successful and I paid the price for that when I met Guillermo Rigondeaux," Donaire said. "And even when I knocked out Vic Darchinyan in our rematch last year, that wasn't the best me."
Nonito Donaire Sr., who is back training his son after the two were estranged for several years, was more to the point.
"Nonito got away from what made him great — his speed and footwork in combination with his power," the elder Donaire said. "Last year, he just came forward, didn't move his head and relied too much on his power, and that's the wrong way to fight a pure boxer like Rigondeaux, as we all saw.
"This camp, we went back to Nonito's bread and butter — creating a mix that combines speed, movement and power."
Tell you what, though, it sounds like the champion Vetyeka means business.
"I am a warrior and I am going to dish back everything he tries to serve me, only it will be hotter," he said. "I will take the fight to Donaire from the first bell. I intend to end this fight early."
Another fight on Saturday's HBO telecast will be from a different site. At Wembley Stadium in London, Carl Froch (32-2, 23 KOs) of England will defend his two super middleweight world titles against countryman George Groves (19-1, 15 KOs). … Team Golovkin sent out a news release this week saying it is holding a news conference in Los Angeles on Thursday to announce Golovkin's next opponent. It figures to either be mandatory challenger Jarrod Fletcher of Australia or former middleweight champion Daniel Geale, also of Australia. Either way, it will take place July 26 at Madison Square Garden in New York City (on HBO). … Also Saturday, Javier Fortuna (24-0-1, 18 KOs) of the Dominican Republic will take on Juan Antonio Rodriguez (26-4, 23 KOs) of Mexico in the junior lightweight division from the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas (on HBO2). … Also Saturday, catch Felix Sturm (39-3-2, 18 KOs) of Germany defending his middleweight title against Sam Soliman (43-11, 18 KOs) of Australia from Krefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany (on ESPN3.com).

The Kyle Farnsworth of Politics
In a stunning turn of events, Herman Cain will not be the next President of the United States. In other news, snorting pixie sticks will not get you high. The one thing that these two items have in common is that a lot of people should have seen it coming before trying it out.
So now it's Gingrich. Oh right, and Romney. It's like the longest and most asinine game of musical chairs ever. The only problem is that instead of removing a chair each time, they just substitute a person and make them keep playing. Please, can we just make it stop and give Romney the nomination? I know you don't like him and I know you are afraid the Mormons are going to steal your children but there's something to be said for having a candidate who's actually qualified to run. What's next, Palin redux?
The real issue is that the Republicans are so adverse to nominating Romney that they treat every new challenger like how MLB treats Kyle Farnsworth. "Well, we didn't like him before and he hasn't really done much but he sure looks good on paper. Eh, what the hell. Let's give him a shot." And, just like the Republican challengers, you find yourself wondering a month or two later what you possibly could have been thinking. And, of course, like any circle of abuse, you convince yourself that you'll never let it happen again…
…At least not until next year when you're looking for a middle reliever (presidential candidate) and notice that Farnsworth (Gingrich) is on the market….

The Phils spilt their four-game series with the Brewers by winning the last two games of the series, winning by the scores of 4-3 and 8-0.
The Phils leave Milwaukee with a series split as they defeat the Brewers by the scores of 4-3 and 8-0.
On Saturday, the Phils took the lead in the second as, with one man on, and with nobody out, John Mayberry, Jr. hits a two-run home run, his tenth home run of the season, knocking in Laynce Nix, who had started the inning off with a walk, giving the Phils a 2-0 lead. Erik Kratz gave the Phils a 3-0 lead as he followed with a solo home run of his own, his sixth home run of the season. The Brewers would get a run back in their half of the second as Aramis Ramirez hits a lead-off home run, his seventeenth home run of the year, and his second in three days, making it a 3-1 Phils' lead. The Phils added to their lead in the third as, with one man on, and with nobody out, Ryan Howard hits an RBI double, knocking in Chase Utley, who had started the inning off with a single, giving the Phils a 4-1 lead. The Brewers made it a 4-3 Phils' lead in the eighth as, with one man on, and with two men out, Ryan Braun hits a two-run home run, his thirty-third home run of the season, and his fourth home run in three games, knocking in Jonathan Lucroy, who had just singled. That would end up being the final score as Jonathan Papelbon would come in and pitched a four-out save, his twenty-seventh save of the season, getting Cody Ranson to strike out, swinging, for the game's final out.
Cole Hamels (14-6, 2.94) got the win as he pitched seven and two-thirds innings, giving up three runs on eight hits and a walk, while striking out ten. Johnathan Papelbon collected his twenty-seventh save of the season as he pitched an inning and a third, striking out three. Mike Fiers (6-6, 2.90) took the lost as he lasted five innings, giving up four runs on five hits, four walks and a hit batter, while striking out five. Kameron Loe, Francisco Rodriguez and Jim Henderson combined for four scoreless innings, giving up two hits (Loe (1), Henderson (1)), while striking out six (Loe (1), Rodriguez (3), Henderson (2)).
The Phils had seven hits in the game, with Chase Utley (Singles) and Ryan Howard (Single, Double, RBI) leading the team with two hits apiece. John Mayberry, Jr. (Home Run, 2 RBIs), Erik Kratz (Home Run, RBI) and Juan Pierre (Single) had the other three Phils' hits. The Phils also had four walks and a hit batter (Kevin Frandsen) in the game.
On Sunday, the Brewers tried to take a 1-0 lead in the first as, with a runner on third, via a triple by Nyjer Morgan, and with nobody out, Morgan broke for home on a grounder that Rickie Week had hit directly to Phils' starter Kyle Kendrick, who then made Morgan run back to third base, before finally tagging him out, 1-unassisted, for the inning's first out. The Phils took the lead in the second as, with one man on, and with one man out, Michael Martinez hits a two-run home run, his second home run of the season, scoring Dom Brown, who had just walked, giving the Phils a 2-0 lead. The Phils added to their lead in the third as, with the bases loaded, via singles by Kevin Frandsen and Ryan Howard, with Frandsen stopping at second base, and a walk by Ty Wigginton, moving both runners up a base, and with one man out, Brown hits a bases clearing double, knocking in Frandsen, Howard and Wigginton, giving the Phils a 5-0 lead. The Phils tried to make it a 6-0 lead in the eighth as, with two men on, and with nobody out, Laynce Nix, who had earlier reached base on Ryan Braun's fielding error, then went to third base on Brown's single, is thrown out at home plate on a fielder's choice grounder, on a good play by first baseman Travis Ishikawa, after he had caught Martinez's sharp grounder to first, 3-2, as catcher Jonathan Lucroy applied the tag, for the inning's second out, while Brown would move up to second base on the play. The Phils then took a 7-0 lead as Brian Schneider hits a two-run double, knocking in both Brown and Martinez. The Phils then make it an 8-0 lead in the ninth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Brown hits an RBI single, knocking in Mayberry, who had earlier singled, then moved up to second base on John Axford's wild pitch, while sending Nix, who had just walked, on to second base. That would end up being the final score as Michael Schwimer would get Cody Ransom to strike out, swinging, with runners on the corners, for the game's final out.
Kyle Kendrick (6-9, 4.20) would get the win as he pitched eight shutout innings, giving up just three hits and a walk, while striking out seven. Michael Schwimer pitched a scoreless inning, giving up two hits, while striking out two. Randy Wolf (3-10, 5.69) took the lost as he went seven innings, giving up five runs on ten hits and two walks, while striking out four. Mike McClendon pitched an inning, giving up two runs, only one of which was earned, on two hits. John Axford pitched an inning, giving up a run on two hits and a walk, while striking out a batter.
The Phils had fourteen hits in the game, with Kevin Frandsen (Singles) and Dom Brown (2 Singles, Double, 4 RBIs) both leading the team with three hits apiece, followed by John Mayberry, Jr. (Singles), Ryan Howard (Singles), Michael Martinez (Single, Home Run, 2 RBIs) and Brian Schneider (Single, Double, 2 RBIs) with two hits each. The Phils also had three walks in the game.
The Phils (56-65, 4th East) start a four-game series with the Reds (74-48, 1st Central) with the game already in progress.

Blug. I got sick. Coughing, sneezing, headache, eyeball-ache. Been laying low. How Amelia has not gotten this when both Andy and I had it (one after the other) I know not. I've been washing my hands fifty times a day, but still. Poor dear! I think she thinks that coughing is just how people normally talk to each other, so she's imitating it. Typical conversation:
Me: "Hun [sneezing fit], can you bring me the [coughing, hacking coughing, disgusting sounds, throat clearing, sneeze, sneeze, nose blowing] blanket?"
Amelia: "Goo goo, gah, fake cough, fake cough, goooooo [bright smile]."
Andy: "Sure [sneeze]."
Me: "Wonderful."
Dear lovies.
I seem to be rounding third on the sick. I feel a lot better today. I made the soup that my mom always used to make us when we were sick — the Lipton's chicken-noodle. Always makes you feel better. Maybe we'll make some real stuff this weekend? That sounds really good!
The construction has been delayed by a week [fake crying]. The doors and drawers were all scratched and dinged because they were wrapped for delivery before the paint was fully cured (note use of passive voice in attempt to not assign blame). But, agh. All had to be returned to paint shop for re-sanding/re-painting. We were only a half-day away from being completely finished when this was discovered, too [real crying]. Oh well. Better to do it right.
I'll be happy when it's finished so that I can put everything away. Right now boxes of things that belong in the guest room are still all over the house. We have bunny kit stuff coming in, as well. Naturally, then, I started a new quilt for Amelia!
I decided, with the books, to only read one at a time. First one, recommended by tons of you, Where'd You Go, Bernadette? It's absolutely exactly what I wanted. I'm flying through it! Thank you!

Redenzel, Maria Friesen (1844-1925)
Maria Friesen Redenzel, the first Mennonite teacher in Rosenort, Manitoba and the only female teacher licensed by the Protestant School Board of Manitoba in 1879, was born 21 February 1844 in Wernersdorf, Molotschna Colony in South Russia. Her parents were Cornelius Friesen (1810-1892) and Maria Rempel (1819-1897). Maria was baptized in the Kleine Gemeinde 12 May 1863. She immigrated with her parents to Manitoba, Canada in 1874. Ten years later, Maria married Julius Redenzel; a laborer of Lutheran background, who had emigrated from Prussia, settled in Borosenko, South Russia among Kleine Gemeinde Mennonites, and then come to Canada with them in 1875. They had no children.
Maria Friesen Redenzel probably began her teaching career in Neuanlage, South Russia. She then taught in Canada, first in Rosenort, and after 1880 in Blumenhof. When she married in 1884 Maria was teaching in Gruenfeld where she continued to teach as Mrs. Redenzel. Maria's husband died in 1919, at which time she moved to Altona. There she died in the old folk's home in 1925. Although somewhat eccentric, Maria Friesen Redenzel is remembered above all for her pioneering spirit, her intelligence, and her special gift with children.
