After the pleasant busyness of the late-summer and early-autumn harvesting crunch, and before the winter rains truly set in, youll enjoy a window of fine weather and working conditions to do a little garden and landscape maintenance. Part of the joy of the season on Vancouver Island is its calm, its meditative quality—the unhurried preparation for shortening days, cooler temperatures, maritime rains, all on the heels of heat and produce bounties.
First off, clean up your spread. Remove the above ground husks of any perennials that have browned and died back, and gather ground litter like dried leaves and twigs. Such detritus—as well as big weed patches and discarded equipment—is excellent for cultivating slugs, which you most certainly don't want in your garden beds. On the subject of slugs, autumn is a great time to apply some anti-slug defenses such as beer traps. Baiting out slugs in early autumn, before they've laid eggs, can save you much hassle later on—and doing another round of bait later on in the season can target the hatchlings you missed. Westhill Consulting British Colombia
Nows a good time to transplant, because plants you get in the soil in autumn have time to adjust to the ambient conditions and develop root systems ahead of next summer water stresses. You should also get spring bulbs like tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths into the ground now. You can prune back most hardy species this time of year as well.
If your a garlic fan—and few aren't given the plant's impressive culinary, homeopathic, and ornamental properties—mid-to late fall is an excellent time to get some cloves in the ground. In our climate—and, really, most temperate climates, save for those with truly severe winters—bulb development seems to proceed best by overwintering. The plants are thus exposed to stimulating cold and are ready all the earlier to produce stalks and leaves in late winter and early spring. Place the cloves upright—that is, in the vertical position they were in the bulb—with their tips a couple of inches below the surface.
Perhaps you've planted garlic and other vegetables to be overwintered—kale, lettuce, carrots, and the like—this fall. Buffer the fluffed-out and amended soil they're now nestled in against the pelting winter rains with a mulch of some kind. Dried leaves, straw, and even cardboard are examples. If using organic material as your mulch, try to make sure it's free of weed seeds; otherwise, you may be causing as much trouble as your saving.
Speaking of weeds, a proper layer of mulch will help smother some of the next generation. To make your life easier, be sure to conduct a thorough weeding in the autumn to knock back as much as you can those species that may lie dormant or, worse, flourish in the wintertime. Wedding can be an absolute chore, tough on the knees, the back, and the hands, but it's a necessary one, and your future spring and summer incarnation—the one readying all manner of edibles and ornamentals to go into the ground—will thank you for your autumn labours. If you simply can't attend as fully as you'd like to all corners of your property, at least make an effort to remove any remaining seed-heads (This can be as simple a process as swiftly clipping them off and hauling them away, without worrying about excavating the root system.) It isn't a perfect solution, but you will be making some kind of headway against those opportunistic non-desirables that—in between bouts of cursing and back spasms—we sometimes ruefully honor for their absolute tenacity.
If you've got irrigation installed, blow out your hoses to avoid freezing ruptures. Pressurized air can rid your system of residual water. Nows also a good time to do a general inspection of all of your landscaping infrastructure—fences, edging, raised beds, and the like—ahead of potentially damaging winter storms and the odd freeze.
So, get out there on these pleasant autumn days and get your hands dirty! Above all else, youll be communing with your garden and your larger yard during a special time of year and thus deeply perceiving the seasonal cycle.

Hey everyone, my name's Mike and I go to UA. I played tennis pretty consistently until my junior year of high school and then I stopped altogether. I'm looking to get back into it and see how much improvement I can make this summer. I want to work on shot consistency, so I'd rather just hit than play games, but I'm not opposed to a few here and there. I'm free on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I usually play at Himmel Park. Let me know if you're interested!

hi iam william i am down to hit with you email me firstname.lastname@example.com
I don't mind just hitting, more exercise & shot consistency.
I'm at UAMC, let me know when you are available to play.
Hey Mike, I live just a short walk from Himmel if you'd like a match or to just hit around. I'm real new to the game, but at least slightly better than playing against a wall. I'm free most evenings/afternoons, pretty flexible in general. Thanks.

On behalf of many Egyptians , I dedicate this song to both Morsi's government and IMF.
Most political parties and powers are against the IMF loan. Most political parties like Strong Egypt Party ,the Socialist popular alliance party , Constitution Party and Popular Current coalition are against the loan. April 6 Youth movement "Ahmed Maher Front" also expressed its refusal.
The Drop Egypt's Debts campaign has been outspoken against the loan and actually from the leading movements against it. The campaign presented alternatives but nobody listened to them. Strong Egypt Party also presented alternatives to the government.
All these political powers , parties, campaigns and movements organized protests and rallies against the loan but nobody wants to hear them
Now I have got one question : If the IMF is going to give us the loans without any conditions , why there are negotiations with the IMF !? Negotiations mean conditions !!

I don't think it has too much fanservice--all the screencaps I've seen of it would be rated PG (and when there's fanservice, it's usually the first thing to get screencapped...). It sounds like a decent OVA, about a baseball team that gets a Multi-like android to help them win a big game. Hopefully someone picks it up to fansub or it gets licensed (although for a one-shot OVA, R1 DVD is probably asking a lot...).
Although having said there's not much fanservice, Azusa is a little more payo payo than Multi:

Tonde Buurin Bu
Has anyone ever heard of Tonde Buurin Bu before? As far as I know it's not currently being fansubbed. Actually, there doesn't seem to be much of anything on it. (I only got about 30 results for it on google.) It looks like it's a spoof on Sailor Moon only the girl turns into a pig. Anyway, I thought it looked somewhat amusing and wondered if there's any chance of it being subbed.

SachiGumi used to offer something like the first 8 episodes on video tape. Or at least last time I looked they did, their site doesn't seem to be working at the moment. Don't think I've seen then available for download.
If you look around some of the sites, such as AniDB, AnimeNfo and ANN, you get some summaries of it.
Certainly Magical Girl genre, as you say, the heroine turns into a pig (but at least a Magical Super Pig...)

Yes, I've seen the entire series. BTW, the name is only Tonde Buurin without that final "bu".
You google search will find many more hits if you try it without that "bu" or using Tonde Boorin or Super Pig. The best page seems to be this. Hitoshi Doi's site should also be consulted.
Super Pig is the name that was used when the series was shown in several different countries. The interesting thing is that distribution was done by Saban, using an adaptation made for the series to be shown in the USA. For instance, all the characters have american names. Kokubu Karin became Kassie Carlen What else could you expect from Saban ? An American dub was produced but, as far as I know, it wasn't never shown in the USA, but Fox Kids has shown it (using the Saban version) in several European and Latin American countries.
I don't know of anyone fansubbing it these days, but the 12 first episodes were fansubbed on tape in the past, by Blackdeath Studios. Groupe Virelai lists it as a future project.
You can get the fansubs on tape (and maybe on DVD) from Mokkori Ippai.
It's a great series and it would be a nice project for any group.
And it isn't a Sailor Moon spoof. Why people need to think every magical girl show is a Sailor Moon clone ? Magical Girls shows existed long before Sailor Moon was created.

So it seems to be in a bit of a grey region. While it may not have been shown in America, it may have had a TV release in an English speaking country. Not aware it has been shown in the U.K. If we (AnimeSuki) would consider if licensed or not is unsure.
Do you have more info as to an English release?

The full name of the show is Ai to Yuuki no Pig Girl Tonde Buurin, as it says right on the tape covers. I saw a few episodes. Karin, the main character, is awfully cute - one of the gimmicks of the show is that she is rather embarrassed about changing into a fat pink pig. A boy she really likes becomes a huge fan of Buurin (of course!). The best episode I saw featured women wrestlers.
I think the English dubs of the show were for the Phillipines.

Grilled Sirloin and Peach Skewers
Kebabs are perfect party fare. They're portable and require no utensils to be enjoyed by your guests. These Grilled Sirloin and Peach Skewers are a nice change from the usual teriyaki kebabs and they can be prepared on large or small skewers, depending on the type of party you're hosting.
The marinade of bottled steak sauce and peach butter or preserves is delicious. The peach flavor is further emphasized when fresh peach chunks are skewered along with the sirloin, red onion and red bell pepper.
You can marinate the sirloin overnight and prepare the skewers early in the day. Then, fire up the grill and cook the skewers when your guests arrive. Their enticing aroma is sure to whet everyone's appetite.
When ready to grill, light indoor or outdoor gas grill and heat on high for 5 minutes. Thread sirloin onto soaked skewers, alternating with peaches, peppers and onions. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Lightly brush grates of grill with oil. Grill skewers 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on doneness desired. Remove to a platter and serve with additional steak sauce on the side.

Engaging young minds to discover science in every day- identifying which black felt tiip pen gives which signature chromatogram, which paper allows teh colours to move fastest. Also, making patterns with by "un-mixing" colours the reverse of activities when painting ( younger kids). In German.
Discover how colourerd in felt tip pens get the right colour. Have you ever mixed paints to get teh colour you want ? How do you think felt tip pens are made ? Discover what makes black and the many shades of black.
Primary school kids ( 4-12) pass by the Chemistry stand ( 70 children during 1 afternoon) and conduct paper chromatography using differnt papers and different pens, using water asd the eluting phase. Children are asked to fill in a short questionnaire to answer which paper wicks the water fasted, which components are in a selection of colours and also to identify 3 different black pens only from their chromatography trace. Correct sheets will be put into a draw for a Globi Chemistry book.
Younger children can make patterns using the principles of chromatography on flat paper by dropping water in the middle of a pattern
Papers can be hung to dry then taken home as souvenir.

Audit (A-09-08-00043)
Review of Medicare Claims for Home Blood-Glucose Test Strips and Lancets-Durable Medical Equipment Medicare Administrative Contractor for Jurisdiction A
Executive Summary
Based on our sample results, we estimated that NHIC, Corp. (NHIC), the durable medical equipment (DME) Medicare administrative contractor for Jurisdiction A, inappropriately allowed for payment approximately $49.2 million in claims for calendar year (CY) 2007 for home blood glucose test strip and/or lancet supplies (test strips and lancets) that we identified as high-utilization claims. We estimated that NHIC inappropriately paid approximately $39.2 million of this amount to DME suppliers. NHIC could have saved Medicare an estimated $39.2 million for CY 2007 if it had controls to ensure that claims for test strips and/or lancets complied with certain Medicare documentation requirements.
Medicare Part B covers test strips and lancets that physicians prescribe for diabetics. Medicare utilization guidelines allow up to 100 test strips and 100 lancets every month for insulin-treated diabetics and every 3 months for non-insulin-treated diabetics. Additional requirements apply for reimbursement of a claim for a quantity of test strips and lancets that exceeds the utilization guidelines (high-utilization claim).
To help achieve potential savings for the Medicare program in future years, we recommended that NHIC (1) implement system edits to identify high-utilization claims for test strips and/or lancets and work with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to develop cost-effective ways of determining which claims should be further reviewed for compliance with Medicare documentation requirements; (2) implement system edits to identify claims for test strips and/or lancets that have overlapping service dates; and (3) enforce Medicare documentation requirements for claims for test strips and/or lancets by identifying DME suppliers with a high volume of high-utilization claims, performing prepayment reviews of those DME suppliers, and referring them to the Office of Inspector General or CMS for further review or investigation when necessary. NHIC provided information on actions that it had taken to address our recommendations.

Howard1 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Continuum Hotels - http://www.continuumhotels.com - Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/continuumhotels
I am the President & CEO of newly launched Continuum Hotels based in Portland, OR. Continuum evokes an on-going / perpetual evolution, much like life which is impermanent , unique, ever changing, creative - thus Continuum!We have defined several cities in the south and midwest to create upscale, boutique, independent hotels in core downtown locations within historic buildings needing revitalization. Each hotel will feature local / regional artists, LEED certified-green properties, and will focus on job creation for locals. Previously I was President & COO of Provenance Hotels for 9 years
Continuum hotels targets travelers for business and leisure who are bored with the homogenous experience that often occurs at big branded hotels. the furnishings, decor, style, design, service offerings, lighting, music, vibe are all 1 of a kind and personalized to each guests preferences. while the typical age target is the 20's to 40's technology savy, art inspired individuals but also appealing to those travelers in their 50's-60's who are soul seekers and regularly reinventing themselves - Please review the Continuum web site - http://www.continuumhotels.com in order to get the feel, vibe, style , direction, of the company and it's images
you will see from the attached interim logo we used as a placeholder that it represents a cool, relaxed, creative vibe. it evokes continous motion - thus complementing the Continuum concept. Thus, the color used must be the identical green used on this previous placeholder logo. the symbol must be continous in style to support Continuum - and then wrap the "Continuum Hotels" name (which font is currently Gotham Book - 33 Point) so it can be used both to the right of and below the logo placement .

After Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Bengals, Giants quarterback Eli Manning said that he didn't think a tired arm was to blame for his recent struggles.
With the bye week here, though, Manning is erring on the side of caution. Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPNNewYork.com reports that Manning said Monday that he won't throw at all until next Monday as he unplugs from the game. Coach Tom Coughlin said before the Bengals game that the entire team would get the week off and Manning is doing just that. He won't be watching any film for a few days either as he tries to refresh after a rough stretch.
Manning completed 29-of-46 passes for 215 yards on Sunday, good for 4.7 yards per attempt. It's the fourth straight week that Manning's dropped in that metric and he hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in his last three games. He did throw two interceptions, both of which were poor decisions under pressure that Coughlin called "foolish" on Monday. Coughlin did have some better things to say about his play, though.
"There were signs that he's improving," Coughlin said, via the Newark Star-Ledger. "He's getting back to — back on track. There were some signs there that were good yesterday. And we've just got to build on it."
They'll take a week before trying to build on it and hope that recharged batteries make it easier when they reconvene.

- German GP - Qualifying
'I just couldn't put the lap together' - Raikkonen
- Race:
- German Grand Prix
Kimi Raikkonen says one small 'slip' on his crucial flying lap was the difference between making it into Q3 and qualifying 12th on the grid for tomorrow's German Grand Prix.
Despite a water cooling issue on Friday and a fuel pump problem during FP3 Raikkonen's pace over the three practice sessions suggested he may well have turned a corner after a disappointing first half to the year. But, after bolting on his second set of super-soft tyres in qualifying, Raikkonen seemed to make a small error through Turn 2, which he says was enough to relegate him out of Q2.
"I had a second set [of tyres] and for some reason I lost the rear in corner two, lost a lot of time and it was difficult to gain back the time after that," Raikkonen said. "I almost gained it back but I lost something in the last sector so I just couldn't put the lap together, but the car felt pretty ok until that point.
"Yesterday morning, problem, this morning, problem, that doesn't help but the car has been feeling pretty good yesterday and this morning so it's an unfortunate thing, but that's what happens."
Once again Alonso outqualified Raikkonen, the Spaniard finishing just one tenth off Sebastian Vettel in seventh.
When asked if there was a pattern to why Alonso has been consistently outperforming him, Raikkonen said: "No, just different things. I mean the racing hasn't been good either, just things going wrong all the time, making mistakes, one here, one there. I haven't been able to put a proper lap together for a long time. It's been feeling much better here, like it should, but it's still not exactly what we want.
"It feels good on on one run then on the next run, like the last qualifying, suddenly you lose the rear for not really any reason and not trying anything stupid. It's so much on the edge that it's hard to predict what the car will do and one slip, like on corner two, you lose all the speed on the straight and then it's a done deal after that. It's just the very small details but when those happen on moments like that it makes a big difference."
Raikkonen also uses Brembo brakes like Lewis Hamilton, who suffered a failure in Q1, but the Finn is not worried about a suffering a similar fate on Ferrari.
"No, not really I think those thigns have happened to me in the past, for whatever reason one disc can have some failure, I don't know what happened to them. If you take one out of 100 or 200 discs there might be some odd issues, it can happen, but we don't expect it to."

I am of course, forever searching for new interesting things in the beauty world, so when I found a brow product for paling out the eyebrows I had to buy it.
Most people spend their time darkening their brows and adding colour. I naturally have enough hair in the brow area and they're dark so I don't really need to use anything on them, if I don't want to.
They also have quite an obvious natural shape so I just do them myself (although occasionally I get a scary treatment).
Beauty SA's do often ask me where I get my brows done, to which I reply, "I DO THEM MYSELF! FOR FREE! FREE! FREE! IN YOUR FACE!" at which point I get escorted out of the building.
But I digress. Here's a chick that needs her brows lightening:
(I'm not a Sienna Miller fan because I think she
a. Is a bit of a ho and
b. Looks like my sister in law)
So anyway, this product is from Kiss Me's Heavy Rotation Range – which I love.
The range consists of Gel Eyeliner, primers, Liquid Eyeliner, mascaras, eyeliners, lip glosses – all really sultry, smokey products which you don't normally get with Japanese products.
This eyebrow concealer in Nude Beige makes the brows lighter and no doubt shows off those smokey eyes.
I lighten my hair a lot so I do need to lighten my brows:
Nude Beige is a pale fawn type shade. The brush is very bristly and really gets to all the hairs with a little wiggle.
What is nice about this eyebrow gel is that it isn't crunchy at all – it grooms the brows nicely but without any horrible stickiness or shine.
Well the difference is there but it is very slight. There isn't enough pigment in the gel to make enough difference in the shade of my brows although it worked nicely as a general grooming gel.
But as a concealer – nope. You could get a similar effect by buying (if you are dark like me) a brow gel for blondes or even running a small amount of foundation through the brows.

Kitchen Design Trends: Minimalism & Concealed Appliances
Concealed appliances aren't exactly a "trend" since modern, minimal kitchens have been big for a while now, but the growing US popularity of induction cooktops and built-in wall ovens have helped to refine the aesthetic. At the Architectural Digest Home Design Show last week, we saw several examples of slim or even completely concealed appliances, particularly at the Valcucine and Miele booths.
Italian company Valcucine participated in the design of a 1,700 square foot Modern Home within the convention hall. Their kitchen featured high-gloss, pop-up panels that conceal coffee makers, blenders, small appliances, and shelves stocked with dishes. On the counter, a butcher block on rails can slide over the range, hiding the burners when they're not in use.
The Miele booth showcased their built-in coffee systems, wall ovens, and induction cooktops. Miele designs their wall ovens with a modular metal frame. If you have a tight space, you can opt for the 24-inch frameless version, while larger kitchens can accommodate 27 or 30-inch-wide wall ovens. Within their dishwasher line, a key innovation is the shallow top-level rack, which frees up lower-level space for larger objects and provides better cleaning/drying for silverware.
New products include a touchscreen cooktop with no knobs and a retractable ventilation fan that can be used on kitchen islands. When you're not using the cooktop, the fan stays concealed under the counter, and when you're ready to cook, a motorized system raises it above countertop level.

Apparently I still retain the capacity to be surprised by the weird and wonderful world we inhabit. After the sex-athon of last week, I was made aware by another alert reader who shall remain nameless about an artist whose creations can be called nothing more than X-ray Porn.
The artist transformed a medical clinic in Belgium into a studio, coated his subjects with a slurry of barium and Nivea body cream, and let them do their thing for the cameras.
I'm not going to host the images, but you can see them here or here or Google the artist's name, Wim Delvoye. Very very NSFW.
And I swear this is not going to be a habit. But sometimes you just gotta link the wonderful crazy stuff.

On April 9, 2009 Fans can watch the newest NARUTO Shippuden adventure For Free The Same Day It Airs In Japan.
San Francisco, CA, APRIL 6, 2009 – VIZ Media, LLC (VIZ Media), one of the entertainment industry's most innovative and comprehensive publishing, animation and licensing companies, has announced the simultaneous airing of NARUTO Shippuden Episode 103 (English subtitled) on its official web site – Naruto.com. TV Tokyo has made this special episode available for simulcast on April 9th in North America on www.naruto.com and www.crunchyroll.com/naruto.
"We have received enthusiastic viewer response when we first began streaming NARUTO, and we are very pleased to present a brand new NARUTO Shippuden episode on April 9th," says Ken Sasaki, Vice President of Strategy & Business Development, VIZ Media. "We're very committed to cultivating the web as an innovative medium for fans to enjoy the latest NARUTO adventures and fan culture in a variety of fun ways. From leading web social networking outlets and content providers such as iTunes®, Hulu and Joost, to a special accelerated manga publishing campaign that has offered 7 new NARUTO volumes between March and April, there's plenty to look forward to from the world's most popular ninja."
In the NARUTO manga and anime series, Naruto Uzumaki wants to be the best ninja in the land. He's done well so far, but Naruto knows he must train harder than ever and leaves his village for intense exercises that will push him to his limits. NARUTO Shippuden begins two and a half years later, when Naruto returns to find that everyone has been promoted up the ninja ranks – except him. Sakura's a medic ninja, Gaara's advanced to Kazekage, and Kakashi… well, he remains the same. But pride isn't necessarily becoming of a ninja, especially when Naruto realizes that Sasuke never returned from his search for Orochimaru. Plus, the mysterious Akatsuki organization is still an ever-present danger. As Naruto finds out more about the Akatsuki's goals, he realizes that nothing in his universe is as it seems. Naruto is finding that he's older, but will he also prove wiser and stronger?

Sequels usually aren't very good.
But the updates made to this fully-automated haunted house make it even better than when we wrote about it last year.
Digital Panacea, an integration company that does a lot of Home Automation Inc. (HAI) control system programming, revisited its spookiest client for a pre-Halloween tune-up.
Halloween Park, a haunted attraction outside York, Pa., isn't a typical haunted house. It's interactive, meaning that visitors must solve clues in order to move through the scary rooms.
The HAI automation system is critical because most of the spooky sounds and sudden movements are triggered by anticipated activity. For instance, a motion sensor might pick up when a visitor enters a particular room and triggers a scary voice to give him a clue.
If the clue leads the visitor to do something, such as take a particular book out of a bookcase, a contact on the book might trigger something shocking, like a secret door opening.
Jeffrey Lehman, owner of York-based Digital Panacea, says programming an automation system for the haunted house is similar to doing it for a regular (non-haunted) house.
He might install motion sensors in a regular house so lights turn on when an owner enters a room. In this case, instead of lights turning on, it's along the lines of a skeleton being hurled across the room.
Frightening Task
Programming a haunted house isn't without its unique challenges, Lehman acknowledges.
"It's a tremendous exercise in programming," he says. It's particularly challenging because "you have to make sure everything resets" after the actions are triggered, the spooky stuff happens and the visitors move onto the next room.
Since the Halloween Park is interactive and based on clues, the owner wanted to keep it fresh by revamping many of last year's scenes and adding new ones. That meant a lot of work for Lehman.
He estimates there's about 5 miles of wire in the three-story haunted house with 32 rooms and spaces — "plus, God knows how many contacts and motion sensors and there's 800-some-odd lines of code."
There's likely to be more wire, more programming and more of everything else next year. Lehman says Halloween Park is likely to add a fourth floor to the attraction.

MIDDLEBURY — Mary Hogan Elementary School fifth- and sixth-grade students enjoyed a few hours of running, jumping and throwing — and each other's company — on June 10, when they visited Middlebury College for the school's annual track and field meet.

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on April 8 resoundingly endorsed their graded school budget, then elected to change the date and method of voting for future Mary Hogan Elementary School spending plans.
Credit the change in voting on the ID-4 (Middlebury Elementary School) budget to a dedicated group of citizens who took up the long-standing issue about a year ago and pressed ahead with a steadfast campaign to bring it to a public vote.
MIDDLEBURY — Mary Hogan Elementary School board directors are hoping for a big turnout at the ID-4 school district annual meeting on Wednesday, April 8. At the 7 p.m. meeting at the school gym residents will vote on the Middlebury elementary school's proposed 2015-2016 spending plan of $6,775,965, and also potentially change the date and manner by which future spending plans are voted.
This week's writer is Nancy Malcolm, a Middlebury resident who helped gather signatures for the two petitions being presented to the ID-4 school board at its annual meeting on April 8.
This week's writer is Ruth Hardy, chair of the Mary Hogan School board's ID-4 Prudential Committee.
I invite Middlebury residents to the ID-4 school district annual meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 8, in the Mary Hogan School gymnasium.
MIDDLEBURY — The ID-4 school board on March 4 rejected two citizens' petitions seeking to change the date of the district's annual meeting and the method by which the Mary Hogan Elementary School budget is voted, but the panel unanimously agreed to place two articles on ID-4's April 8 meeting warning that would accomplish the same changes sought by the petitioners.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Town Clerk Ann Webster has received and certified two petitions aimed at moving up the date of the ID-4 school district annual meeting and changing the method by which the Mary Hogan Elementary School budget is voted.
Both petitions needed to bear the signatures of at least 235 registered voters.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on April 8 will vote on a proposed Mary Hogan Elementary School spending plan of $6,775,965 for the coming fiscal year. That figure represents a 1.94-percent increase over the current spending plan.
The budget would enable Mary Hogan Elementary to maintain its current staffing and programs and also boost the amount of assistance it receives from the Counseling Service of Addison County (CSAC) to work with students who have behavioral problems, according to Principal Tom Buzzell.
One of the roles of any public governing body is to encourage maximum public participation in decisions crucial to the community. Public participation, after all, is the foundation of democracy.

The Great Lakes at Ten Miles an Hour: One cyclist's journey along the shores of the Inland Seas, by Tom Shevory, is a chronicle of travels by bicycle around the Great Lakes, combining personal observations with reflections on the geology, ecology, history, and culture of the region.
Over the course of four summers, Thomas Shevory biked along the Great Lakes' shores, absorbing the stories the lakes tell — of nature's grandeur and decay, of economic might and squandered promise, of exploration, colonization, migration, and military adventure. This is Shevory's account of his travels and explorations of the geological, environmental, historical, and cultural riches harbored by these great inland seas.
This volume harnesses the sudden emergence of narrative writing in contemporary academic international politics. It comprises a prologue, an epilogue (by Cory Brown, Writing), and fifteen chapters that both build upon and diversify the success of the 2011 volume Autobiographical International Relations.
Here, as in that volume, academics place their narratives in the context of world politics, culture, and history. Contributors explore moments in their academic lives that are often inexpressible in the standard academic voice and which, in turn, require a different way of writing and knowing. They write in the belief that academic International Relations has already begun to benefit from a different kind of writing―a style that retrieves the "I" and explicitly demonstrates its presence both within the world and within academic writing. By working within the overlap between theory, history, and autobiography, these chapters aim to increase the clarity, urgency, and meaningfulness of academic work. Highlighting the autoethnographic and autobiographic turn in critical international relations, this work will be of interest to students and scholars in international relations, IR theory and global politics.
Post-Conflict Studies: An Interdisciplinary Approach, co-edited by Chip Gagnon and Keith Brown. The focus of the volume is how the violence of conflict is transformed in the post-conflict period into processes that the editors have categorised as criminalisation, medicalisation and missionisation. Comprised of essays written by a diverse group of scholars and activists from anthropology, political science, international relations, law, education, religion, and military history, each section of the book looks at the concept of post-conflict in a way that problematises its common usage and highlights the importance of strongly interdisciplinary research into post-conflict societies.
This volume provides a novel approach to international relations. In the course of fifteen essays, scholars write about how life events brought them to their subject matter. They place their narratives in the larger context of world politics, culture, and history.
Autobiographical International Relations believes that the fictive distancing associated with academic prose creates disaffection in both readers and writers. In contrast, these essays demonstrate how to reengage the "I" while simultaneously sustaining theoretical precision and historical awareness. Authors highlight their motives, their desires, and their wounds. By connecting their theoretical and practical engagements with their needs and wounds, and by working within the overlap between theory, history, and autobiography, these essays aim to increase the clarity, urgency, and meaningfulness of academic work.
These essays are autobiographical, but focused on the academic aspect of authors' lives. Specifically, they are set within the domain of international relations/global politics. They are theoretical, but geared to demonstrate that theoretical decisions emerge from theorists' needs and wounds. Theoretical precision, rather than being explicitly deduced, is instead immanent to the autobiographical and the historical/cultural narrative each author portrays. And, these essays are framed in historical/cultural terms, but seek to bind together theory, history, culture, and the personal into a differentiated and vibrant whole. This book moves the field of International Relations towards greater candidness about how personal narrative influences theoretical articulations. No such volume currently exists in the field of international relations.
Includes two essays by Ithaca College alums: Sara-Maria Sorentino (2008) and Nethra Samarawickrema (2008).
Peyi Soyinka-Airewele, Ithaca College and Rita Kiki Edozie , Michigan State University, Editors. January 2010
It is impossible to study Africa without understanding the debate about how to study Africa. At last, a book showcases the complexities and paradoxes of Africa's recent and more distant history, while avoiding simplistic, Eurocentric conceptualizations of "black Africa." With this book, Peyi Soyinka-Aiwerele and Rita Kiki Edozie offer students the background and perspectives they need to comprehend the dynamics of the continent as well as a clear path through the current literature and scholarly debate. With a cross-disciplinary approach that features political, historical, and economic analysis as well as popular culture and sociological views on contemporary issues, Reframing Contemporary Africa provides an unparalleled breadth of coverage.
Essays written by a distinguished and international group of scholars—including William Ackah, Pius Adesanmi, Susan Craddock, Caroline Elkins, Siba Grovogui, Mahmood Mamdani, Mutua Makau, Celestin Monga, Wole Soyinka, and Paul Tiyambe Zeleza—are designed to distill original scholarship for undergraduate readers. Each contribution helps students engage with the work and arguments of luminaries while exposing them to renowned African thinkers. Contributors deliver analysis that allows students to see beyond the clichés commonly presented in the media (and even in scholarship), and helpful section openers by Soyinka-Airewele and Edozie frame forthcoming chapters, giving important thematic and historical context. Reframing Contemporary Africa will certainly provoke new debate and reflection, not merely about African issues and politics, but also about the West and its framing of Africa.
Islam, Muslims, and the U.S.: Essays on Religion and Politics. New Delhi, India: Global Media Publications, 2004.
A collection of op-eds written for the Daily Times of Pakistan, and of talks given in the U.S. immediately following 9/11, which marks a turning point both in the public discourses on Islam in the West and in contemporary Muslim understandings of Islam. Although the essays and talks cover a wide range of issues, they cumulatively argue that in Muslim countries as well as in the U.S., power functions to silence, marginalize, and, frequently, to obliterate the Other. Given this curious symmetry in the functioning of power in both contexts, it becomes problematic to discuss politics only in terms of the religious/secular binary. In fact, labeling the politics of Muslim societies as always already religious and those of the West as secular essentializes the differences between them.
Sexual Decoys: Gender, Race and War in Imperial Democracy. London: Zed Press; New York: Palgrave, 2007.
In this book, Zillah Eisenstein continues her unforgiving indictment of neoliberal imperial politics. She charts its most recent militarist and masculinist configurations through discussions of the Afghan and Iraq wars, violations at Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the 2004 US Presidential election, and Hurricane Katrina. She warns that women's rights rhetoric is being manipulated, particularly by Condoleeza Rice and other women in the Bush administration, as a ploy for global dominance and a misogynistic capture of democratic discourse. However, Eisenstein also believes that the plural and diverse lives of women will lay the basis for an assault on these fascistic elements. This new politics will both confound and clarify feminisms, and reconfigure democracy across the globe.
The Myth of Ethnic War: Serbia and Croatia in the 1990s. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2004; paperback version 2006.
The wars in Bosnia-Herzegovina and in neighboring Croatia and Kosovo erupted at the exact moment when the cold war confrontation was drawing to a close, when westerners were claiming their liberal values as triumphant. Most western journalists, academics, and policymakers have tried to explain the conflict using the language of the premodern: tribalism, ethnic hatreds, cultural inadequacy, irrationality. Instead, Prof. Gagnon believes that the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s were reactionary moves designed to thwart populations that were threatening the existing structures of political and economic power. He begins with facts at odds with the essentialist view of ethnic identity, such as high intermarriage rates and the very high percentage of draft-resisters. These statistics do not comport comfortably with the notion that these wars were the result of ancient blood hatreds or of nationalist leaders using ethnicity to mobilize people into conflict.
Yugoslavia in the late 1980s was, in Gagnon's view, on the verge of large-scale sociopolitical and economic change. He shows that political and economic elites in Belgrade and Zagreb first created and then manipulated violent conflict along ethnic lines as a way to short-circuit the dynamics of political change. This strategy of violence was thus a means for these threatened elites to demobilize the population. Gagnon's noteworthy and rather controversial argument provides us with a substantially new way of understanding the politics of ethnicity.
The Myth of Ethnic War has won the following awards:
Defending the Right to a Home: the Power of Anti-Poverty Lawyers. Williston, VT: Ashgate Publishing, 2004.
Examining the influence of legal professionals on the dynamics of state policy making, this book looks at the responses of poverty lawyers to the social welfare law reforms of US Congress and state legislatures. Against a political climate characterized by its hostility towards welfare programs, cutbacks in public assistance for poor families, the decline in available low-income housing and increasing levels of homelessness, Legal Services lawyers in several states initiated class action suits to protect families from losing their homes. Through five detailed case-studies, this book examines the influence of the anti-poverty lawyers on state policy making and explores the significance of right –to home claims in challenging the neo-liberal norms.
Savage Economics: Wealth, Poverty and the Temporal Walls of Capitalism (Routledge, December 2009) by David L Blaney and Naeem Inayatullah
This innovative book challenges the most powerful and pervasive ideas concerning political economy, international relations, and ethics in the modern world.
Rereading classical authors including Adam Smith, James Steuart, Adam Ferguson, Hegel, and Marx, it provides a systematic and fundamental cultural critique of political economy and critically describes the nature of the mainstream understanding of economics. Blaney and Inayatullah construct a powerful argument about how political economy and the capitalist market economy should be understood, demonstrating that poverty is a product of capitalism itself. They address the questions:
Opening the way for radically different policies addressing poverty and demanding a rethink of the connections between political economy and international relations, this thought-provoking book is vital reading for students and scholars of politics, economics, IPE and international relations.
Toxic Burn: The Grassroots Struggle Against the WTI Incinerator. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2007.
The economics of trash and the politics behind hazardous waste disposal.
Debates over global warming and fossil fuel dependence dominate public discussions of the environment. For many of us, these debates are abstract because environmental problems do not yet disrupt our daily lives. But in communities throughout the United States and around the globe, environmental activism is not a matter of choice, it is a necessity.
East Liverpool, Ohio, is one of those places. Since 1993, the eastern Ohio River Valley has been home to a massive hazardous waste incinerator. The WTI incinerator in East Liverpool burns 60,000 tons of hazardous waste each year, has experienced dozens of accidents, and is located within 100 yards of an elementary school. Yet, it continues to operate.
Toxic Burn is a gripping account of the activist movement against the imposing WTI incinerator in this struggling rust belt town. Drawing on personal interviews with key participants as well as official documents, Thomas Shevory tells the story of building, maintaining, and resisting the incinerator. It begins in the 1970s with community leaders who responded to failing pottery and steel industries by proposing the incinerator as a source of jobs and tax revenue. The incinerator's opponents fought back, challenging EPA permits in court. They also enlisted the support of Greenpeace and publicly called presidential hopeful Al Gore to task for the Clinton administration's backing of the incinerator. These activists' efforts have not only helped to curtail the industry's expansion, Shevory concludes, but have also encouraged movement toward more sustainable models of industrial production.
Hazardous waste disposal is a hot-button issue in many communities. By analyzing the obstacles faced by the WTI incinerator's opponents, as well as their victories, Toxic Burn shows that the actions of decent and determined citizens are powerful and essential to developing new environmental models and ultimately saving the health and lives of those in the path of potential disaster.

International Relations and the Problem of Difference. New York: Routledge, 2004.
This work has developed out of the sense that IR as a discipline does not assess the quality of cultural interactions that shape, and are shaped by, the changing structures and processes of the international system. One would think that IR is in a good position to describe, explain and theorize cultural diversity, but instead it has a history of ignoring the subject. In this work, the authors re-imagine IR as a uniquely placed site for the study of differences as organized explicitly around the exploration of the relation of wholes and parts and sameness and difference-and always the one in relation to the other.
Notorious H.I.V: The Media Spectacle of Nushawn Williams. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2004.
In the fall of 1997, public authorities in Chautauqua County, New York, were granted an exception to the state's HIV confidentiality law—and released Nushawn Williams's name and picture to the press, deeming him a "public health threat." Williams, who is HIV-positive, had had unprotected sex with many young women and girls and infected at least nine of them.
Prof. Shevory sorts through the ensuing media panic and legal imbroglio to tell the story behind the Nushawn Williams case. Through media reports, legal documents, and interviews with many of the participants—including Williams—Shevory exposes the significant exaggerations, misunderstandings, and distortions that riddled the Williams case from the start. He contends that Williams's portrayal as an "AIDS monster" served political purposes; specifically, representations of Williams helped to foster the passage of HIV-transmission statutes, resulting in criminalizing a public health problem in a virtually unprecedented fashion.
His work shows how media coverage robs individuals like Williams of their humanity, creating a pervasive atmosphere of threat that warps the integrity and fairness of the criminal justice and penal system. Notorious H.I.V. also traces the impact of such high-profile cases on communities.

The Dutch Windows Phone website has revealed something interesting. Orange and green versions of the HTC 8S.
We've seen the 8S in yellow, black/white, red, and blue but could this be an indication that more colors are headed to the HTC 8S rainbow? We haven't seen any new colors added to the various pre-order listings such as the one over at Expansys.
The green version is growing on me, but what do you think? Do the green or orange colors appeal to you more than the blue, yellow or black/white versions?
Thanks, Mark, for the tip!

Gonzalo Higuain believes Arsenal have got themselves a bargain in £42.5 million man Mesut Ozil.
The Gunners snapped up Ozil on deadline day for a club record fee having missed out on Higuain to Napoli earlier in the summer window.
The former Real Madrid team-mates will come face to face in the Champions League for their new sides on Tuesday.
Higuain believes Arsenal have got themselves a bargain despite his hefty price tag because he is one of the best players in the world.
"I had the pleasure to play with Mesut and he is one of the best players in the world," he told the Mirror.
"As a striker he is a dream to play with – because you know he is going to create you chances.
"When you look at some of the crazy fees that players moved for this summer you have to say that Mesut was a great deal for Arsenal."
Arsene Wenger has admitted he tried and failed to sign Higuain during the summer window before his £35 million switch to Napoli.
Higuain, who scored in Napoli's Champions League win against Borussia Dortmund in this year's 'group of death', insists he made the right choice in choosing Naples over north London.
"I am very happy that I joined Napoli. We have started well in the league in Italy and have got off to a good start in Europe too," he said.
"I know there was other interest from England and Italy – but I am very sure that I made the right choice by joining Napoli and have no regrets. It is a club where I can achieve everything I want.
"Arsenal are a very good team and have some top players – I am sure they will be looking to win this group. I know the game is in London, but that does not mean we will be going there looking for a point.
"That is not the way we play, and I believe we have the quality to get a win.
"We got off to a very good start against Dortmund. They were the finalists last season so it was a very big win for us.
"This is such a strong group that it was very important that we got off to a winning start. It is probably the only group where you can say that every team in it has a real chance of progressing."

Baidu to buy mobile apps company for $1.9 billion
Baidu, which operates China's most popular search engine, said Tuesday it will buy smartphone apps distributor 91 Wireless for $1.9 billion, adding to the scramble for the fast-growing Chinese mobile Internet market.business Updated: Jul 16, 2013 11:48 IST
Baidu Inc., which operates China's most popular search engine, said Tuesday it will buy smartphone apps distributor 91 Wireless for $1.9 billion, adding to the scramble for the fast-growing Chinese mobile Internet market.
Beijing-based Baidu said it would buy 57 percent of 91 Wireless Websoft Ltd. owned by NetDragon Websoft Inc., a Chinese games developer, and the rest from other shareholders.
91 Wireless operates two smartphone app distribution platforms in China, 91 Assistant and HiMarket, that it says have been used to download more than 10 billion apps. The company says it is China's biggest third-party app distributor by both active users and accumulated downloads.
China has the world's biggest population of Internet users, with 564 million people online at the end of last year, according to government data. The number of people who go online using mobile phones, tablets and other wireless devices rose 18 percent last year to 420 million.
Baidu dominates traditional Internet search with nearly 80 percent of the market in China. But it faces tough competition in mobile search, where its market share has eroded.
Baidu's share of mobile search declined to 66.9 percent in March from 77.5 percent last July. That followed the launch of a rival service in mid-2012 by Qihoo 360, an information security company, which quickly gained a market share of more than 13 percent.
Beijing-based Baidu has expanded from search into music downloads, online video and other services.
In May, it announced the purchase of Internet video service PPS Net for $370 million. It said that, combined with the iQiyi.com service it already owned, would make it China's biggest mobile video platform by user numbers.
In a reflection of tougher competition, Baidu said its earnings rose 8.5 percent over a year earlier in the three months ending in March but that was down sharply from the previous quarter's 36 percent growth. The company said research and development costs increased 83 percent.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's and women's tennis teams play host to Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson this weekend in their final two matches of the season.
Both teams are coming off losses to North Florida. However, head coach Andrew Harris says this weekend will be about honoring the teams' seniors.
"This is a great weekend for our three seniors, Danielle Hansen, Elizabeth Keevil and Sam Bowman," Harris says. "All three have been part of a tremendous experience the past two seasons and have bought into moving us from a team to a program. With these two matches, they will end up being one of the most successful two seasons in program history.
"With that said, both FGCU and Stetson bring great experience, and it will be a tremendous challenge. I am looking forward to seeing us come through with shining colors."
The Lady Bisons hold a 1-6 record heading into this weekend, while both Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson have a 4-3 record.
The men will only honor one senior as they face the challenges posed by Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson.
"On the men's side, Chad Pierron is our lone senior," Harris says. "Given the results this weekend, the men will be part of the first ever back- to-back conference tournament appearance in program history. FGCU is a lot better this year than last year so we will need to bring our "A"game if we are going to finish the day like we would like too. Coach Pilote always brings a great team to forefront and we will look forward to a great challenge with them. At the end of the weekend, we need to have a spirit of desperation in everything we do and leave it on the court."
The men will be evenly matched with Florida Gulf Coast as both teams boast a 3-4 record but the Stetson men will pose a threat with only two losses this season.
The Bisons and Lady Bisons host FGCU on Friday at 2 p.m. before facing Stetson on Saturday. The Lady Bisons begin at 9 a.m., while the men will play at 2 p.m. Both matches will be played at Lipscomb's Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center.

Tech Thursday: News out of Microsoft
The word is IE 10 reportedly won't support Vista
Only a few weeks ago IE 9 was released. March 14, as a matter of fact. And the IE team at Microsoft hasn't been taking a break - they've already unveiled the platform preview for the next version, IE 10, at this week's MIX conference in Las Vegas. There was much made about the fact that IE 9 does not support Windows XP, and now word is that Vista users will likely be unhappy to hear that IE 10 drops support for their OS, as well; it will only be supported on Windows 7 and above, according to reports from Dave Bailey at computing.co.uk.

A Windows 7 Service Pack 2. Soon?
I always look forward to these service pack updates. Just knowing that after installing all of my computer problems are going away. Right! So be it, another installment of service pack magic is headed your way. Although Service pack 1 for Windows 7 wasn't exactly exciting it made a number of minor improvements and allowed those who had been laxed about applying security updates to install them all in one fell swoop, but it didn't add any cool new features or have a dramatic impact on performance as Vista SP1 did. Will there be anything exciting in Service Pack 2? Mary Branscombe over at TechRadar speculates, and reveals her own wish list for SP2. Read it here:
The number one OS in the United States is: Windows 7
Windows 7 has steadily gained market share since its release a year and half ago. This month, it surpassed XP and is now the top operating system in the United States with 31.71 percent (XP still has 31.56 percent), according to StatCounter. XP remains on top world-wide. Read more here:
I hope you have a safe and happy Easter.

Tuition & Fees Refund Policy
The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 (HEA98) represent a major shift in the Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aid when a student withdraws from the University.
Effective October 7th, 2000, Texas A&M University - Kingsville will implement this policy for all students who withdraw on or after that date. The policy governs all federal grant and loan programs (Pell, SEOG, Stafford Loans, Perkins and PLUS loans), but does not include the Federal Work-Study program.
In general, the new law assumes that a student "earns" approved (verified) federal financial aid awards in proportion to the number of days in the term prior to the student's complete withdrawal. If a student completely withdraws from school during a term, the school must calculate, according to a specific formula, the portion of the total scheduled financial assistance that the student has earned and is therefore entitled to retain, until the time that the student withdrew. If a student receives (or the University receives on the student's behalf) more assistance than he/she earns, the unearned funds must be returned to the Department of Education or to the Federal Stafford or parent's Federal PLUS loan lenders. If a student's charges are less than the amount earned, and a refund is due, the student may be able to receive those additional funds. Students who have not completed the verification process are ineligible to receive any financial aid.
The portion of the federal grants and loans that the student is entitled to receive is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days in the semester to the number of days that the student completed before he/she withdrew. The new policy governs the earned and unearned portions of the student's Federal Title IV Financial Aid only. It determines how much, if any, the student and/or the school may need to return. This policy does not affect the student's charges. The University's withdrawal policy will be used to determine the reduction, if any, in the student's tuition and fee or room and board charges. The student is responsible for paying any outstanding charges to the University.
The University's Withdrawal Policy is:
When a student withdraws from the University during the first twenty (20) days of classes during a long semester, six (6) days during a summer session, and two (2) days during the Intersessions the University will refund a portion of the Tuition and Fees charged to a student. The percentages refunded back are as follows:
Prior to 1st Class day for long semesters (Fall, Spring), Intersessions, and summer sessions 100%
1st Class Day, the percentage is 80%.
2nd Class Day, the percentage is 50%.
After 2nd Class Day 0%.
Long semesters:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Class Days, the percentage is 80%.
6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Class Days, the percentage is 70%.
11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th Class Days, the percentage is 50%.
16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th Class Days, the percentage is 25%.
After 20th Class Day 0%.
Summer sessions:
1st, 2nd and 3rd Class Days, the percentage is 80%.
4th, 5th, and 6th Class Days, the percentage is 50%.
After 6th Class Day 0%.
The refund will be returned to the student only if the student did not receive financial aid assistance from either Title IV programs or State programs. In the cases where the student did receive assistance from these programs, the refund will be returned to the programs, in the following order:
Unsubsidized Loan
Subsidized Loan
Perkins Loan
PLUS Loan
Pell Grant
Academic Competitiveness Grant
National SMART Grant
FSEOG Grant
TPEG Grant
RPEG Grant
NPEG Grant
Texas Grant
The student's official withdrawal date will be determined by the University as:
1. The date the student began the University's withdrawal process.
2. The midpoint of the semester if the student withdraws without notifying the University.
3. The student's last date of attendance at an academically-related activity as documented by
the University.
If it is determined that the University must return to the Title IV programs monies in excess of any Tuition & Fees or Room & Board, the student will be responsible for those monies.
Any grant funds that the student is required to return to the federal programs are considered an overpayment. The student must either repay the amount in full to the University within 45 days of notification of the overpayment or make satisfactory payment arrangements with the Department of Education to repay the amount. If the student fails to repay to the University within 45 days, the University will notify the Department of Education Collections that the student owes an overpayment. At that point, until the student pays the amount in full to the Department of Education or makes repayment arrangements with the Department of Education, the student will lose his/her eligibility to receive future federal financial aid at any institution.
Federal Policy Regarding 'Unofficial Withdrawals'
The Federal Regulation GEN 0403 provides guidance on the application of Return to Title IV aid requirements. This new guidance requires institutions to closely monitor the attendance of students who receive Title IV aid.
At the end of every semester, grade evaluations are completed to determine compliance with this new regulation. The Federal government assumes that students who do not receive a passing grade in any class attempted and/or receive incomplete grades have unofficially withdrawn from the institution. This assumption requires Texas A&M University-Kingsville to formally document the attendance of students who received all "F's" or "I's" in classes attempted in that period.
If a student earns a passing grade in at least one course, the Return to Title IV policy is not applicable.

Kansas and Arizona will get more time to respond to the request by federal election officials for a stay in his ruling requiring them to enforce state laws requiring new voters to document their U.S. citizenship.
U.S. District Court Eric Melgren on Monday gave the states until Friday to file their arguments against his ruling.

In March, Melgren had ordered the agency to immediately modify its national voter registration form to add special instructions for Arizona and Kansas residents about those states' proof-of-citizenship requirements.
The U.S. Election Assistance Commission and voting rights groups want Melgren to stay that ruling while the case goes to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Both states contend the requirements prevent voter fraud. Critics of such laws view them as suppressing voter turnout.

Abbie Tressider - Medicine & Healthcare, Midwifery in Mongolia
Why Mongolia?
The question I was asked over and over once I had told people of my plan to stay in Mongolia for a month, was why? It seemed that even within the country, people could not seem to grasp why I had chosen Mongolia. In truth, I had an idea in mind that included working as an observational midwife, however I had not even considered the specific details of my placement.
Mongolia, from my limited understanding at the time, was untouched, beautiful and cold - so very, very cold. For me, the beauty of the country lay in the uncertainty of what I would discover.
Arriving in Ulaanbaatar
After almost a full day of travel, touching down in Ulaanbaatar came as a big relief to my system. Projects Abroad had ensured that someone would be there to meet me at the airport and escort me to my host family, just off of Peace Avenue in the capital.
My host mother (in fact, all of my host family), were astoundingly welcoming, even when we struggled with the language barrier. On my first day, I took a stroll through the icy roads of the capital, navigating my way down the main road and trying to pin point key areas to remember.
After my first few days trying to figure out Mongolian culture by myself, the Projects Abroad staff had organised a cooking night at which all of the current volunteers could meet. After some questionably edible cooking, we all took to a bar and begun to get to know each other.
Meeting other volunteers early on was a great help for all the little worries I had had over the past few days and it was also really nice to be able to have a fluent English conversation with someone again! I had soon made some lovely friends within the group and it was a great night.
My Midwifery Placement
Originally, my plan had been to do two weeks in a Care placement for disabled orphans and my following two weeks in the various maternity hospitals in Ulaanbaatar. I found it rather difficult to work with the disabled children and became too disheartened with the difference in culture when it came to the treatment of the children and so decided to change placement sooner.
Fortunately, my time spent in the maternity hospitals was more than I ever could have hoped for. Though throughout my trip the language barrier was always present, I found that everyone was willing to try if I was. The smallest of gestures such as saying 'hello' or 'thank you' in Mongolian, was considered the most polite thing to do and they, in turn, would try very hard to communicate back.
Within my time on the Midwifery placement, I had the chance to spend some time with a group of trainee midwives in their nursing university. The girls were extremely enthused to hear about my experiences both in the hospitals of Ulaanbaatar and what growing up in England was like.
Every day spent in the maternity hospitals was different, and with help from my supervisor and a neonatologist who I had befriended, I got to experience all kinds of procedures, both observing and aiding when I could.
Knowing that this was the career I had in mind before coming to Mongolia, I was particularly interested in the cultural differences of the job and took note of each birth I witnessed during my time. As well as confirming that this was the job for me, the time I spent with the different teams at the hospital was absolutely incredible.
Weekend Travelling
On a rather spontaneous whim, three other volunteers and I decided to travel to the Gobi for a week. With no plan and nothing but a budget and a place name written for us, we set out on the most inspiring journey across Mongolia. I didn't hold any expectations for our trip and I like to think that even if I had done, it would have exceeded them by far.
Visiting the flaming cliffs, the ice waterfall, the sand dunes and an iced lake, we took in every bit of what the desert had to offer us. I would 100% recommend travelling to the Gobi in Mongolia.
A shorter trip on my first weekend in Mongolia took me to the countryside, where two other volunteers and I spent the night in a Ger, rode horses across the expanse of land, milked a cow and climbed a mountain.
My Experience
I may have spent a good deal of my month justifying why I chose Mongolia, but every second of that was worth it. I had fallen in love with this country and what I'd been doing there, yet home felt rather appealing.
While all of the other volunteers I'd met in Mongolia prepared to leave (whether it be to another part of Mongolia or the world), I'd contemplated my time spent in Mongolia. I feel that I could have easily spent another couple of months learning, living and exploring there. I met some amazing people, both Mongolians and volunteers and I was sad to leave it all behind. Despite my initial reservations I grew to appreciate the culture that Mongolia had to offer.

NEW YORK CITY — Crack pie and compost cookie fanatics, or those looking to create something out of the ordinary, can now cook their way through the scrumptious and zany Momofuku Milk Bar cookbook in a series of classes at the bakery's Williamsburg production kitchen.
The classes, the first-ever offered by the beloved hipster bakery, will kick off on Valentine's Day and are $50 per person for all ages at the 382 Metropolitan Ave. kitchen. Momofuku Milk Bar's "Bake the Book" series, helmed by chef Christina Tosi and her team, will run through February with the fourth and final installment on March 5.
All ingredients and tools will be provided at the kitchen.
The first class, offered on both Feb. 14 and March 5, begins with learning to make cereal milk, one of the bakery's most popular items, which is milk infused with cereal flavor, and crack pie, an addictive confection that features an oat cookie crust and a salty-sweet filling. Participants will be able to take home their own versions of these treats.
The second class will explore how to take household snacks and "bump up their flavor." Participants will take home a dozen cornflake-chocolate chip-marshmallow cookies and a Ritz crunch crust that they're encouraged to turn into their own pie at home.
The next installment focuses on "the crumb," the subject of chapter three in the cookbook. According to the bakery, students will "learn how we make sandy bits of flavor and incorporate them into baked goods."
Each person will take home one home one dozen blueberry and cream cookies, birthday crumbs and chocolate crumbs.

The action of The Tempest play takes place on an island in the Mediterranean. The enchanted island, inhabited by spirits, full of strange sounds and music, is the setting for a magical drama of loss, love and reconciliation. Read more about The Tempest settings.
Date written: 1611
Genre classification: The Tempest does not conform to any of Shakespeare's usual play genres.
Read the full, original The Tempest text
Read The Tempest in simple, modern English
Main characters in The Tempest: Prospero, the Duke of Milan, overthrown by his brother, Antonio, lives on the island with his Daughter, Miranda after having been put into a boat and pushed out to sea 12 years before. During that time he has studied magic and now controls the island through that art.
Prospero causes a shipwreck as his brother, Antonio, with a party of other dignitaries is returning from a wedding in Tunis.
Alonso, the King of Naples, helped Antonio to depose Prospero. With him is his villainous brother, Sebastian and his son, Ferdinand, who falls in love with Miranda the moment he sets eyes on her. The other members of the party are Gonzalo, an old courtier of Milan, the man who tried to help Prospero and Miranda after the coup and two of Alonso's courtiers, Adrian and Francisco.
Prospero has two servants: Ariel, a delicate and bird-like spirit who is invisible, except to his master and he performs magical tasks for him, and Caliban, a misshapen monster, the son of the wicked witch Sycorax, who died before Prospero arrived on the island.
Trinculo, Alonso's jester and Stephano, his butler, have also survived the wreck.
There are three goddesses who make an appearance on the island – Iris, Ceres and Juno. See a full list of characters in The Tempest.
The Tempest themes: The play is about forgiveness and reconciliation as Prospero forgives all those who have wronged him and his daughter, and returns to resume his Dukedom in Milan. In a more postmodern fashion the play is concerned with itself as a play. With its theatrical illusions and disguises, and the action directed by the main character, Prospero, it explores theatrical production.
Magic was a taboo subject in Shakespeare's time, with withces and other occultists routinely burnt at the stake. Shakespeare is exploring the potential of magic for good rather than evil.
Other themes are civilization versus nature; authority, and, as usual in Shakespeare, appearance and reality.

Jade Craggy says:
In school we did an argument about whether Caliban was a man or a monster I was arguing that he was a man and I feel that even though he was treated very badly many humans today are treated like that so that is no reason to say he is a monster also saying that he is a monster just because he looks different is faulse and mean.
Mark H. says:
Two minor errors in the description:
– The character is "Gonzalo", not "Gonzago."
– Prospero and his daughter came to the island 12 years before, not 15. Miranda, the daughter, is at the time of the action, approximately 15 years old, but she was three at the time of the banishment.

Al Pacino says he gave Bruce Willis his big break in Hollywood by turning down the lead role in "Die Hard."
"The Godfather" star has revealed he was one of the first actors approached to play tough cop John McClane in the 1988 blockbuster, but he passed on the script.
Pacino made the revelation about Willis at a question-and-answer session in London over the weekend, insisting, "I gave that boy a career!"
He then added, "You know who else I gave a career to? Harrison Ford in 'Star Wars' – that role was mine for the taking but I couldn't understand the script."
The 73-year-old compared himself to rising star Jennifer Lawrence at the height of his career, saying, "I was the one. Things came to me," but he admitted having regrets about some of the roles he had turned down: "I'm not a very good judge of what's good."
