Van Halen Debut 'Blood and Fire' and Break Out 'Jamie's Cryin" in Concert
Van Halen debuted another song from their new album 'A Different Kind of Truth' in concert last night, delivering the anthemic 'Blood and Fire' for the first time to a paying crowd.
As the mighty Van Halen News Desk reported, the band also dusted off 'Jamie's Cryin" from their debut album, which hadn't been played so far on this tour but was heard on their 2008 trek. Comparing the setlist to recent shows, it seems 'Fire' took the place of fellow 'Truth' track 'The Trouble with Never' (good move!) and that 'Cryin" filled in for 'Hear About it Later.' (We should also note that the band played 'Fire' at their open L.A. rehearsal show.)
We did a readers poll a couple of weeks back, asking which of the new 'Truth' tunes fans would most like to see added to Van Halen's setlist, and it looks like our readers and the group are pretty well in sync, because 'Blood and Fire' is currently in the top three. 'Stay Frosty' is running away with the contest though, and we maintain it would make a heck of a great medley with 'Ice Cream Man.'
VHND also reported that Van Halen rehearsed 'Light up the Sky' from their second album three times before the concert, so be on the lookout for that one at future shows. Who knows, maybe they'll do 'II' start to finish someday, since they've been playing so many songs from it on this tour.

Please dont't miss John Fonte's piece on NRO about provisions in the Gang of Eight bill (see pages 370-94) that will funnel federal dollars to left-wing activists so they can organize illegal aliens who obtain amnesty. The money is cleverly earmarked as intended to help integrate immigrants. Thus, it is designated for programs that will promote "linguistic, economic, and civic integration."
But who will get the money? According to the legislation, it will go to states, localities, and non-profit organizations. The best evidence of who, specifically, the beneficiaries will be can be found by looking at groups who currently receive state funding to promote immigrant integration.
Fonte shows that such programs in Illinois and Maryland have functioned as radical activist operations. The one in Illinois is dominated by Joshua Hoyt, a longtime leftist community organizer who collaborated with Bill Ayers and a young Barack Obama in the 1990s. More recently, his immigrant integration operation has collaborated with Muslim groups seeking to resist investigations into suspicious charitable organizations.
According to Fonte, the Illinois program, which would almost surely get federal funding under the Schumer-Rubio measure, works closely with The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago which, in turn, works closely with the Islamist (and Muslim Brotherhood aligned) Islamic Council of North America. It also works closely with the radical Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Expect that outfit to be a huge player in immigrant integration if the Gang of Eight legislation becomes law.
The Maryland organization that receives state funding to help "integrate" immigrants, CASA de Maryland, is familiar to me. President Obama's lefty nominee for Secretary of Labor, Tom Perez, is an alum.
CASA de Maryland is run by Gustavo Torres. He's a former Sandinista and a current confidant of the the state's liberal Democratic governor Martin O'Malley.
CASA's core function is to oppose state, federal, and local enforcement immigration laws. Rep. Dana Rohrbacher has accused it of teaching illegal immigrants how to evade the law. To help it perform this and other radical work, Hugo Chavez provided CASA with $1.5 million in funding, after Torres spoke in Venezuela at a conference on revolution in Latin America. CASA also supports the "Cuban Five," a quintet of convicted Castro spies.
It isn't surprising that Chuck Schumer wants to funnel federal money to left-wingers who will organize amnestied aliens into dutiful, reliable left-wing Democratic voters. But why did Marco Rubio go along with pages 370-94 of the Schumer-Rubio bill? Most likely, he was asleep at the switch.

1. It brings context and the real world into the classroom
2. It allows students to repeat and get instant feedback.
3. It helps teachers track and deliver individualized content.
4. It makes the curriculum relevant, today and "hip".
5. It indirectly teaches students how to use technology that will be vital to their futures.
6. Technology liberates and connects once isolated students and classrooms.

addps r0, r1 # (r0 = r0 + r1)
vaddps r0, r1, r2 # (r0 = r1 + r2)
This new encoding is not only used for the new 256 bit instructions, but also for the 128 bit AVX versions of all the old SSE instructions. This means that existing SSE code can improved without requiring a switch to 256 bit registers. Finally, AVX introduces some new data movement instructions, which should help improve code efficiency.
I decided to see what kind of performance difference using AVX could make in qcms with minimal effort. If you use SSE compiler intrinsics, like qcms does, switching to AVX is very easy; simply recompile with -mavx. In addition to using -mavx, I also took advantage of some of the new data movement instructions by replacing the following:
vec_r = _mm_load_ss(r);
vec_r = _mm_shuffle_ps(vec_r, vec_r, 0);
with the the new vbroadcastss instruction:
vec_r = _mm_broadcast(r);
Overall, this change reduces the inner loop by 3 instructions.
The performance results were positive, but not what I expected. Here's what the timings were:
|75798 usecs
|AVX (-mavx):
|69687 usecs
|AVX w/ vbroadcastss:
|72917 usecs
vbroadcastss instruction, in addition to the AVX encoding, not only doesn't help, but actually makes things worse. I tried analyzing the code with the Intel Architecture Code Analyzer, but the analyzer also thought that using
vbroadcastss should be faster. If anyone has any ideas why
vbroadcastss would be slower, I'd love to hear them.
Despite this weird performance problem, AVX seems like a good step forward and should provide good opportunities for improving performance beyond what's possible with SSE. For more information, check out this presentation which gives a good overview of how to take advantage AVX.

Chuck Hagel's past comments continue to haunt the man who is rumored to be President Obama's top candidate for the position of Secretary of Defense. Last night an interview reemerged of Hagel insisting that James C. Hormel, President Clinton's 1997 nominee to be ambassador to Luxembourg, was unqualified for his appointment because he was "openly, aggressively gay." It didn't take long before a prominent gay rights group declared his views "unacceptable."
Now someone has posted audio of Hagel musing about the power of the "Jewish Lobby" in Washington, DC. Some Hagel defenders scoffed when Bret Stephens called out Hagel for "especially ripe" prejudice. This audio will make that scoffing much more difficult.
It's difficult to believe that President Obama will want to spend the kind of political capital it will take to win what increasingly seems like a brutal nomination fight. In just the last hour or two Sen. John Cornyn, the powerful Republican whip, has declared his opposition to Hagel's nomination. Perhaps appearances would be even worse for Obama, who would be seen as having abandoned Democrat and loyalist Susan Rice only to turn around and promote a putative Republican who indulges in rhetoric offensive to supporters of Israel and homosexual rights.
UPDATE: Hagel apologized this morning for his anti-gay comments in 1998:
Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, seeking to preserve his viability for nomination as secretary of Defense, on Friday issued a strong apology for a gay slur in 1998 that turned some top Democratic activists against his potential selection. …
With gay groups marshaling opposition, Hagel said in a statement provided by an aide: "My comments 14 years ago in 1998 were insensitive. They do not reflect my views or the totality of my public record, and I apologize to Ambassador Hormel and any LGBT Americans who may question my commitment to their civil rights. I am fully supportive of 'open service' and committed to LGBT military families."
It is ironic that a prospective nominee for Secretary of Defense feels obliged to apologize not for being wrong on pretty much every defense issue of the last twenty years, or for a seemingly bigoted hostility toward one of America's chief allies, or for attitudes toward some of our principal enemies that are, construed charitably, willfully blind; but rather, for having been unenthusiastic about the idea of openly gay ambassadors.

Crystal Palace youngsters Matt Parsons and Jason Banton have penned new deals
Crystal Palace have tied down youngsters Matt Parsons and Jason Banton to new contracts at Selhurst Park.
Last Updated: 01/03/13 6:06pm
The duo, both 20, have agreed terms on deals that will last until 2014, with the option of an extra year.
A statement on the Palace website confirmed: "Matt Parsons and Jason Banton have both signed contract extensions with the club until the end of the 2014 season, both have the option of a year's extension.
"In addition, Banton has extended his loan at Plymouth Argyle until the end of the season, although Palace have a 24-hour recall clause."
Defender Parsons has made 10 first-team appearances for the Eagles, with his last outing coming in the FA Cup third-round replay defeat at Stoke this season. He has had two loan spells away for the club, at Barnet in 2011 and Wycombe earlier this campaign.
Winger Banton, who has scored three goals in his five appearances for League Two side Plymouth, made his Palace debut against Stoke in the original third-round tie in January.
He arrived at Selhurst Park in October after failing to win a contract with MLS side Seattle Sounders, following his release from Birmingham in 2011.

Collect Email Addresses via Social Sign-In
Collecting email addresses just got a whole lot easier, especially for B2B marketers.
Silverpop is to thank. The company announced an enhancement to its Social Sign-In feature, which is built through a partnership with social identity and user management solutions provider Janrain.
The enhancement gives Silverpop customers the ability to collect email addresses when an individual registers for an offer using existing LinkedIn credentials. This is an especially valuable feature for B2B marketers, who are more interested in interacting with potential buyers via their professional email than a personal account, as well as for marketers who want to target communication based on recipients' professional backgrounds.
"Social Sign-In benefits both buyers and marketers, making registration processes simpler, thus decreasing the possibility of form abandonment while also getting the marketer closer to the social behaviors of each contact" said Bryan Brown, director of product strategy at Silverpop. "For B2B marketers, while the information collected from social networks like Facebook and Twitter is certainly valuable, the likelihood of attaining a contact's business email address is low. With LinkedIn accounts, individuals are more likely to include their business-related information. Having this capability is a giant leap for B2B marketers in general, and Silverpop customers in particular, as they can take advantage of this enhancement right out of the gate due to our existing strategic partnership with Janrain."
Social sign-in is becoming an increasingly popular feature because many people are too frustrated by online registration processes to create new user accounts, or simply don't want to remember another password. However, Janrain has found that companies can achieve an increase in conversion rates when they provide users with the option to "sign in" using social credentials.
"The increase in form completions and conversion rates has an obvious benefit to marketers, but so does the ability to connect users to their social profiles, providing additional, highly valuable insight about their site visitors," said Tore Steen, vice president of business development for Janrain. "Through Janrain technology Silverpop customers now can collect verified emails and other permission-based profile data only available from LinkedIn for use in their email and marketing campaigns."

UNAIDS Calls for End to Gender-Based Violence, Highlighting Association With HIV Risk
November 25, 2013
UNAIDS "is calling for an end to gender-based violence, which is not only a serious human rights violation but also increases the risk of HIV infection," the U.N. News Centre reports. "Recent research has established a clear association between intimate partner violence and HIV, with women experiencing such violence facing a 50 percent increased risk of acquiring the virus, according to" the agency, the news service writes. "About one in three women globally experience physical and/or sexual violence by a partner or sexual violence by a non-partner, the [WHO] has said," according to the news service, which adds, "Responding to gender-based violence and HIV is 'a matter of shared global responsibility for social justice,' UNAIDS said in its news release" (11/22).

Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross is poised to commit himself to the Potters for the next six years.
The long-term contract, which would keep him at the club into his 30s, is understood to be very close to being signed, with confirmation expected in the next day or two.
The defender hinted he is ready to put pen to paper following Stoke's 1-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday, telling newspaper reporters: "I am very happy here and very settled here. I have loved my five years here so far and I want that to continue."
He added: "We have progressed incredibly from when I first came. The people here have looked after me really well, the fans have been brilliant with me and I want to be a part of the future."
Shawcross, 25, joined Stoke from Manchester United, initially on loan, in 2007 and has become one of the Potters' most valuable assets, making his England debut against Sweden this month and attracting reported interest from a number of Barclays Premier League clubs.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis has consistently pushed Shawcross's England claims, and he has no doubt the Chester-born player deserves the long-term deal.
"Ryan has been immense for us," said Pulis. "I took him from Manchester United's third team and I remember him scoring on his debut at Cardiff - and he's improved ever since.
"Ryan has done brilliantly for us, but the club has also done brilliantly for him as well.
"We are more than happy to give Ryan that length of contract. He is loved to death by everyone here and he's such a big softie at times because he's such a big family man."

Ring set with round rubies and black diamond, in pink gold
Delicate and playful, Hans, the hedgehog represented by this ring is both rounded and spiky.
The precision of the gold crafting adds surprising reality to the animal. One of the Maison's signature codes, the Pointe de diamant motif, gives the jewel a mirror aspect, full of light and sparkle.
A protective animal, Hans, the hedgehog sits tenderly on the finger thanks to this dazzling and precious ring.
Gérard Boucheron's cat, Wladimir, was a much-loved feature of the Place Vendôme boutique: he was perfectly at home, weaving through displays of jewels and precious stones. Wladimir's presence in the private townhouse at 26 Place Vendôme added a genuine feeling of being in a family home. Considered to be a lucky cat and extremely affectionate, he would seek out the client's gentle patting and stroking. Since then, Boucheron animals have never been aggressive or dangerous.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

(Editor's note: This is an edited version of a commentary was co-authored by Michael LaFaive, director of the Center's Morey Fiscal Policy Initiative, and Zach Tiggelaar, executive director of the North Dakota Policy Council.)
North Dakota State Rep. Eliot Glassheim has proposed a hike (HB 1387) in that state's cigarette excise tax from 44 cents to $1.00 per pack, a 127 percent increase. While his intentions are good — he says he wants to help people quit smoking — it's doubtful as many people as he believes will do so due to tax avoidance.
Cigarette smuggling has become rampant in parts of the country in large part due to tax-driven cost differentials between states. Mackinac Center analysts have estimated cigarette smuggling rates for 47 of the 48 contiguous states. In some parts of the United States smuggling is rampant. New York's estimated smuggling rate exceeds 60 percent of the total market.
According to the Mackinac Center's recent report, in 2011 North Dakota was actually a net export state. That is, more cigarettes were taken out of North Dakota after purchase than were brought in. That will change should the new tax increase proposal become law. Smuggling into North Dakota will leap to almost 10 percent of total, in-state consumption. The figure would be higher but the Center report subtracts from its total any North Dakota cigarettes that are smuggled into Canada.
Legal paid sales would drop after such a hike and — as has happened elsewhere — politicians and people will be inclined to think that the decline is a function of quitting when it is actually more a function of smuggling and acquiring different tobacco products, such as pipe tobacco. The Mackinac Center estimates that North Dakota's legal paid sales will drop by 4 million packs a year as a direct result of smuggling.
Scholars from different backgrounds and institutions and using different data sets and measuring techniques have come to similar conclusions about taxes and smuggling. Consider a handful by date order.
A 1995 study by economist Morris Coats in the National Tax Journal found that "[A]bout four-fifths of the sales response to state cigarette taxes is due to cross-border sales." In other words, many smokers maintain their habit; they just do so with smokes purchased in lower-taxed jurisdictions.
Similarly, in 2004 economist Mark Stehr published a paper titled "Cigarette Tax Avoidance and Evasion" in the Journal of Health Economics that said "up to 85 percent of the tax paid sales response" was due to tax avoidance and not from a decline in smoking.
In his 2008 National Tax Journal article, "How Far to the Border?: The Extent and Impact of Cross-Border Casual Cigarette Smuggling," economist Michael Lovenheim estimates casual smuggling rates by state. Using data that ends in 2002 he estimates the "percent of consumers who smuggle" in North Dakota at 3.4 percent.
The study's abstract concludes that, "the central implication of this study is cross-border smuggling confounds many of the potential health and revenue gains from cigarette taxation."
In 2012 the Centers for Disease Control published "Consumption of Cigarettes and Combustible Tobacco — United States, 2000-2011" and reported "certain smokers" changed tobacco types to avoid the higher cigarette taxes. People are simply redirecting their tobacco purchases to lower-taxed products.
Also released last year was a report from the Public Health and Policy Research Program at RTI International, a private consultancy that found New York State's low-income smokers spend 25 percent of their incomes on cigarettes. New York State has the highest state excise tax rate in the nation. Rather than quitting, many are simply dedicating a greater portion of their low incomes to the habit.
Higher cigarette taxes do, however, come with other unintended consequences: wholesale and retail thefts, truck hijackings, violence against people and even corruption of government officials.
Last summer a Prince George's County Maryland police officer was sentenced for his part in a smuggling operation that included use of his patrol car, gun and uniform. Prison guards have been caught trying to smuggle cigarettes into prison.
Higher taxes to curb cigarette smoking are probably not as influential as some believe and they often come with every manner of unintended consequence. When considering this excise tax hike proposal it would be wise for state lawmakers to consider all of the costs associated with the purported benefits.

If you're like most homeowners, you rightly consider ceramic and porcelain tiles a premium flooring choice. Tiles are easy to clean and last a lifetime with little maintenance when properly installed.
That's a lot to like.
What you might not realize is how often and how irreparably tile installations fail because they don't include features that ensure long life. Even if you don't plan to do tiling work yourself, it's essential that you know enough to insist that four specific details be part of your installation.
Uncouple tiles from subfloor
Uncoupling membranes offers a big boost in reliability by allowing small amounts of side-to-side movement of tiles relative to the underlying subfloor. Changes in temperature and humidity can cause stresses to develop along the interface between tiles and substrate, and uncoupling membranes relieve these stresses, while also keeping the tiles fully supported from below.
These lightweight rolls of plastic also replace the need for an additional layer of cement board or plywood on the subfloor, saving labour and time. Top-quality uncoupling membranes aren't cheap, but they do make sense if you factor in the labour they save and the hassles they eliminate.
Use right kind of mortar
Thinset is the name for the family of mortars that's used to install tiles, and there are two kinds - modified thinset and unmodified.
Many tile setters use modified thinset as a matter of course, but this isn't always correct. Modified formulations contain additives that stop the mortar from drying out in contact with porous materials like wood and concrete.
This is a good thing as far as it goes, unless you're installing tiles on non-porous surfaces. In cases like these, unmodified thinset is far better. If your tiles are going down over an uncoupling membrane applied over a plywood subfloor, here's the way things should be installed: Modified thinset; uncoupling membrane; unmodified thinset; then tiles. Also, to make sure that first layer of modified thinset doesn't dry out, the wood subfloor must be thoroughly dampened before mortar goes down.
Insist on wall protection
Tiling usually happens when finished wall surfaces are up and painted, and you'll get much better results if your walls are protected before tiling and grouting. A swath of foam sill gasket stapled onto the wall base before tiles go down eliminates any risk of damage and the need to clean the wall surface later. The use of sill gasket also keeps grout and thinset away from walls, retaining the all-important expansion gap around the room for an even more reliable installation.
Full mortar support
The trend in hard surface tiles these days is for larger tile sizes, and this creates a couple of challenges. First, larger tiles are more demanding to install flat. It takes more care to set them so edges aren't sitting proud above neighbouring tiles. Also, the integrity of a large tile installation is more dependent on full coverage of thinset mortar than with smaller tiles.
To support tiles properly, a careful installer will apply mortar to the back face of the tile as well as the floor. This is called back buttering, and though it takes a little extra time, the installation is much more reliable for it.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles used to be exotic, but now people expect them. And while the ante might be upped, as a homeowner you can minimize the risks and maximize tiling reliability if you make sure things are done right.
To see exactly how the whole tiling process is done correctly, watch my online video at http: // bit.ly/tile_install. It shows trained tile setter Dale Wallace installing large-format tiles over a typical plywood subfloor at a high-end project I visited last summer.

If you're wanting to buy a Nexus 7 then now is the time to do it because Google's still offering a $25 credit for Google Play with tablet purchase. But if you can wait until Christmas there may be a brand new, even cheaper Nexus tablet to get your hands on.
According to Digitimes, a source that seems to be right as much as it's wrong, Google and Asus are working on a $100 Nexus tablet. The new Nexus will reportedly be ready in time for Christmas, the most magical time of the year (at least in sales numbers). The rumor comes from unnamed sources invloved in Asus' supply chain. Apparently the tech giants are working on slimming down the Nexus 7 and offering it in two different variations: one running for an extremely budget-friendly $100 and the other staying at the $200 price point.
The current Nexus 7 managed to keep the price low without cutting too many corners. The only drawbacks — depending on how you look at them — are its lack of 3G connectivity and scratch-resistant Corning glass in place of the Gorilla brand. The mini-tablet still managed to pack in 1 GB of RAM, a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, NFC, GPS, microphone, and a front-facing camera. Asus wrapped all that up in a tight, 7-inch package and it was sold for a steal at $200.
This new, thinner Nexus would no doubt be an attempt to solidify Asus and Google's place as the go-to budget tablet makers even if the much-anticipated iPad Mini makes an appearance near the end of the year. If Google could pull it off, the cheaper tablet would definitely end up in a lot of stockings over the holidays. The low price of $100 would definitely appeal to impulse buyers, much like the Touchpad's fire sale.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem likely this rumor will end up being anything but smoke and mirrors. We all know what happened with the $200 Surface tablet rumor… It didn't come true. The truth is that Google would be losing a whole lot of money if it sold a tablet at $100 without dropping the specs to the point of embarrassment. It doesn't matter how advanced the Jelly Bean software is, even Project Butter can't save sub-par hardware. If Apple is good at any one thing, it's delivering a smooth user experience and Google knows it needs to bring its A game in that department as well.
Do you think there's any truth to this rumor? Would you buy a cheaper Nexus 7 over an iPad Mini if you had the choice?

As a pretty trendy mom, I'm a HUGE fan of Hanky Panky. Really, who isn't? That said, their "split-crotch thong" is completely lost on me, and I can't figure out if it's because I've become boring and unfashionable or it's just a really stupid idea.
I recently visited the "What's New" section of ShopBop.com (which I check out religiously) and there they were -- the After Midnight Open Thongs ($16) -- in the company of some amazing moto jackets
and a fabulous dome ring. Marveling at the slit-laden undies, I asked myself these important questions ...
- Have I been wearing undies (in my case, thongs) for all the wrong reasons? I don't wear undies to obscure my vajayjay from view. That's my clothing's job, thank you very much. And I certainly don't wear them because I love having a thick strip of fabric up my ass. I wear them to eradicate panty lines while maintaining a barrier between my hooha and the "elements," i.e., stiff denim, sweat-inducing Lycra, drafts ...
- If people don't wear panties to separate their "areas" from their jeans, slacks, and yoga pants, why wear them at all? I don't need things rubbing up in there, and if there's moisture ... well, you get the picture! (TMI? Sorry, just shooting from the hip, well ... the vaginal canal.) But, if none of that bothers you, I say put your $16 toward a latte (that's about how much they cost these days) and go commando.
- Is it really that hard to take off your undies in the heat of the moment? Do men really need such immediate access? And if so, who are these men? After 13 years of marriage, I feel like sex is never quite THAT urgent. Plus, I have to wonder about a guy that finds it too tedious to move your undies an inch to the side. Good luck getting that guy to take out the garbage!
No, my vagina is a delicate flower that enjoys some lacy enhancement as much as the next vagina, but she needs a barrier. If not, who knows what could get in there? So, I will not be buying split-crotch thongs. I will, however, keep my fingers crossed for a romp that's so heated, it'll make me wish I had a pair!

Staff-Faculty Honored at Awards Luncheon
by Jim Amidon
April 30, 2010
The Wabash College community gathered Friday for the First Annual Service Award Luncheon, which paid tribute to staff and faculty who have served the College from 10 to 40 years.
Chief Financial Officer Larry Griffith served as master of ceremonies and introduced staff and faculty with 10, 15, and 20 years of service. Griffith explained that this new event "melts together" several traditional recognition events and allowed staff and faculty to be celebrated together.
President Pat White, Dean Gary Phillips, Dean Joe Emmick, and CFO Griffith all introduced and paid tribute to staff and faculty with 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service.
"This College is committed to the values of changing the lives of young men when they come to us at 19 and graduate four years later transformed by this experience," said President White
(pictured with Bill Doemel)
. "We must be in the change business, but we also have to be in the patience business."
The President said that when he was a young distance runner in high school and college he began to see life for what it is — a long haul. He said colleges like Wabash have to see the educational process as a long process, which is why the dedication of long-serving staff and faculty is so critical to the College's mission.
"You who have served Wabash for one year or 40 have shown your loyalty to this mission of educating men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely. You have shown your loyalty to our students… We rely on your seeing far ahead and guiding us all forward as you guide our students."
Recognized for 40 years of service were Bill Doemel, Operations Director of the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts, and Campus Services employees Ron Copeland
(pictured left)
and Dean Waldon.
Rick Sommerville of Campus Services was saluted for 35 years with Wabash. Serving for 30 years are Debbie Bourff of the MAPS Office, and professors Doug Calisch (art), John Munford (biology), and Warren Rosenberg (English;
pictured with Gary Phillips below
Five members of the faculty and staff were honored for a quarter century of service, including John Culley of the Business Office; Chemistry Professor Rich Dallinger; Campus Services' Mike Griffith; Carolyn Harshbarger from Advancement; and Diane Norton of the Lilly Library staff.
"We are not perfect and we sometimes stumble," said President White. "But as the colleagues we celebrate today show us, the race is long, the road is difficult, but it is filled with reward and honor, and even laughter, joy, and appreciation. So I thank you today — all of you — for your work, your commitment to quality, for your generosity of spirit, your patience, and your loyalty."
Honored for 20 years of serve were John Flaurr, Bob Foote (mathematics and computer science), Brian McCafferty (Lilly Library), Stephen Morillo (history), Brad Weaver (IT Services), and Stephen Webb (philosophy and religion).
Staff and faculty honored for 15 years of service were Michael Abbott (theater), Steve Charles (editor of Wabash Magazine), Steve Hester (Campus Services), Frank Stone (Campus Services), and David Timmerman (rhetoric).
Eleven members of the community were honored for 10 years of service, including Rita Arthur (Wabash Center), Heather Bazzani (Advancement), Doug Brinkerhoff (Advancement), Quentin Dodd (IT Services), Brent Harris (Advancement), Sherry Ross (Dean of Students Office), Bob Royalty (philosophy and religion), Tom Runge (Advancement), David Troutman (Advancement), Cathy VanArsdall (Business Office), and Rick Warner (history).

Like many high-tech companies, Nokia's success depends not only on its vast assembly of internal talent, but also on the numerous volunteer advocates and ambassadors of its solutions in the wild. To that end, Nokia formalizes recognition of top volunteers with its Forum Nokia Champion program. Since 2006, hundreds of hard-working community leaders have been awarded this 1-year designation… which brings with it free devices, training and occasional travel to events.
As I wrote recently, it was under these auspices that along with several others I recently enjoyed sponsored travel to Microsoft's MIX11 conference. This came as a virtue of Nokia and Microsoft's new close partnership around Windows Phone 7. It's a given that Microsoft MVPs would be represented at a MIX event, but this was a first for Forum Nokia and travel arrangements were made almost at the last minute. Continue reading

The Medical Center believes in being progressive when technology enhances patient care. The Surgery department utilizes multiple types of lasers, laparoscopic systems, imaging systems, and a variety of other technology.
da Vinci® Surgical System
In 2009, The Medical Center introduced the da Vinci® Surgical System to our region. The da Vinci uses robotic technology at the hands of a surgeon. A da Vinci procedure requires only small dime-size incisions. Robotic arms hold a high resolution camera and micro instruments that mimic the surgeon's hand movements. The surgeon views a magnified 3D image of the surgical site and controls the instruments that can move 360 degrees. With a better range of motion than the human wrist, the instruments can maneuver more easily in smaller, more intricate areas. Through small incisions, da Vinci surgery is more precise and less invasive, leading to numerous benefits over conventional open surgery including less pain, less blood loss, less scarring, shorter recovery time and faster return to normal daily activities.
Stealth Navigational System
For neurosurgery and ear, nose & throat surgery, The Medical Center utilizes the Stealth Navigational System. Two-D images such as CT scans and MRIs are combined then converted to 3-D images, providing more detailed information of the patient's organs, muscles and other tissue. Advancements in 3-D technology share many benefits for the patient as well. Doctors can avoid damage to healthy tissue during surgery, smaller incisions are made and the patient experiences less trauma.
Ci™ System
Using minimally invasive computer-assisted surgery technology for total knee replacement, surgeons are able to place the total knee implant in a precise position. The Ci™ System allows surgeons to visualize the surgery on a computer screen by viewing each step of the procedure in real-time, three-dimensional images that mirror the individual patient's anatomy. The more accurate placement of the implant increases the longevity of the implant and leads to increased mobility for patients at an earlier time. Patients may experience less pain from the procedure. Other benefits include less blood loss, less trauma to the bone, reduced length of stay in the hospital following the procedure, and a shortened rehabilitation period.

Quadruple Amputee Gets New Arms, Hands
Richard Mangino, who lost his arms and legs to a bloodstream infection, received two new hands and arms during a 12-hour operation last week, the Boston Globe reports.
Mangino, 65, who suffered the infection in 2002, received his new arms at Brigham and Women's Hospital from a team of 40 surgeons, nurses, anesthesiologists, residents, radiologists and physician assistants who attached the left and right forearms and hand from an anonymous donor below Mangino's elbows.
"It's just like you can fly," Mangino said during a press conference announcing the operation. "It's like a bird that got its wings back."
During an interview with the newspaper in August, Mangino -- who became a prolific artist after his amputations -- said he wanted new hands so he could experience the sense of touch again, resume playing the guitar and swimming, and "ride a bike without bumping into everybody else."
Even as a quadruple amputee, Mangino tirelessly taught himself to do many of the things others take for granted, from dressing himself to picking up a dime from the floor. He relishes that he mastered shoveling waist-deep snow from his walkway last winter. But daily life was exhausting.
"I just want arms to be able to change my clothes without having to think how I am going to put them on, everyday,'' said Mangino, who has three grown sons and two grandsons. "Everything is a challenge."
His operation was the second double hand transplant attempted by the plastic surgery team at the Brigham, which has so far focused on face transplants. In May, the team transplanted an entirely new face and two hands onto Charla Nash, a Connecticut woman who was attacked by a chimpanzee.

We've had a nice summer--Grace worked for the Parks and Rec department again. She now has a motor scooter (I should post pictures) and I even have a new nephew.
In celebration of the event we spent Sunday night at my parents' cabin and Monday morning we drove into Talkeetna--that coolest of cool Alaskan cities where climbers start their journey up Denali.
Did you realize that Denali (Mt. McKinley) is not only the tallest mountain in North America but it is also taller than Everest? At least in overall height. Everest sits in its boosted grandeur on the Tibetan plateau so it's got a cheater advantage. Denali is taller from base to summit and has a bigger bulk. Take that Tibet.
We started our day with a hike around Y Lake--which is, of course, in between X and Z Lakes. As if you had to ask. And no, I'm not making that up. Andrew and I went to Talkeenta for our anniversary back in June (happy 19 years!) and we read up on the hikes that might be good for a family trip and this one was at the top of the list for a good reason.
It's an easy 3 mile hike around the lake, completely flat at the beginning and at the end, with a slight rise around the far side, but beautifully wooded with lake views as you clump along. Not only that, but we brought our buckets and picked high bush cranberries along the way which were in such abundance that the kids of course began to throw them at each other and I finally had to break it up with a "If I catch you throwing any more of those at your brother I'm going to leave you here to walk back to Anchorage! Do you hear me? Do you?"
To get there take the Parks Highway to Talkeetna Spurr Road, then take a right on Comsat Road and you'll see the turnoff and parking a hundred yards or so farther on the right. There are outhouses and a small parking lot though you can also drive a little farther in along the trail if you need to.
Once we'd made it around the lake with our berries in tact we headed toward town. Back on Talkeenta Spurr Road heading north you come around a bend in the road and there . . . BAM!!!!
You see it--The Mountain.
There is a turnoff just there at the bend where you can pull off and take pictures (as you see here--and even on a Monday afternoon in August you can see that there are going to be tourists--and this picture only has a few of those who were there). Andrew let me grab a picture for you good folks and then we were off again.
Anyone with expensive sunglasses? Tourist for sure. Anyone on a four wheeler? Definitely a local. You get your fishing guides, your restaurant workers and the summer employees with Princess cruises and the Alaska Railroad there and everyone is really friendly, especially considering that their town gets completed invaded every June to August with retirees who have dreamed of seeing Alaska. You really couldn't get a greater difference between natives and visitors than you get in Talkeetna.
A very, very good day and for the kids it nearly made up for the fact that the next day was school.
Wow--now I'll have to see about writing another post. Who knows where this could end?

Thanks Suz, I'll take a look at the Natural Families page. This site has very rich content and all relevant and interesting :)
Thank you for that warm welcome. I too am sad that the first encounter I had was with a spammer. There is a silver lining though. I got to see how awesome you guys are. Quick to help. Love it!
The teleseminars were to help kids get ready for Mother's Day and our usual Sunday night Family Empowerment call.
We're so excited to be a part of C&NN! Our first program is going to be called "Creepy Crawlies" and we're working on the logistics already. My son and I actually got permission to turn part of my Mom's homestead into a Nature Kid getaway/learning center! Woohoo! =)
Hi Suz,
I have seen your site a long time ago and was delighted to find people who felt the same like me about the importance for children to be connected with nature. I think of course that children, since the day that they are born, ARE connected with nature but that it is our out of balanced lifestyle and values that disconnects them from it. :-)
But nothing that can be done with love and inspiration to change forward again. As so many people at your site are doing.
I do hope, as time allows me since I am very busy promoting the book, to join in often at your forum.
Thank you for your compliment and warm welcome.
Thank you for the welcome. We are listed as a Let's Go for Arbor Day weekend in Nebraska City.
H Suz
I think I joined those groups. Also, Mr. Barlow hasn't responded to my attempts to contact him.
Thanks for the welcome Suz!
If you, or others in the group, have suggestions of ways I might be able to spread the word about http://www.meetup.com/the-lower-mainland-green-team that would be great!! Still brand new, and suggestions and advice are welcome!!
Thanks for the message, Suz! I just checked out the International C&NN Connect Group created by Juliet Robertson, and sent her a message and a request to join. I also just joined your group "Nature as Therapy".
See you here later and Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!
Tara (aka OceanAquaristic)
Hello Suz, thanks for the welcome. I have joined up with a few groups thanks to your suggestion, and look forward to learning from the network.
Best wishes
Thanks Suz.
Gave the speech and won the club and subsequently won the area competition so delighted to do so well and get the message out about children and nature. The website was very useful and to be honest was influential in choosing the topic. Thanks

Software Carpentry: Essential Software Skills for Research Scientists
Published on
Many scientists and engineers spend much of their lives writing, debugging, and maintaining software, but only a handful have ever been taught how to do this effectively: after a couple of introductory courses, they are left to rediscover (or reinvent) the rest of programming on their own. As a result, most spend far too much time wrestling with software, instead of doing research, but have no idea how reliable or efficient their programs are.
This talk describes an intensive course on basic software development practices for scientists and engineers. Its aim is not to turn biochemists and mechanical engineers into computer scientists; instead, it introduces them to the 10% of modern software engineering that will satisfy 90% of their needs. The course has been taught at laboratories and universities in Canada and the United States since 1998. All of the course material is freely available under an open license.

Re: modern alternative for design workshop (lite)
I would say look at SketchUp or Bonzai 3D. SketchUp has the free make edition and both have the paid editions for about $500~. SketchUp is far easier to use/learn but Bonzai3D has real nurbs and curves while SU doesn't. Another to look at would be MOI 3D.
Good luck

Difference between revisions of "Nauru"
Revision as of 09:32, 18 March 2015
Nauru is a small island in the South Pacific Ocean, south of the Marshall Islands and is the world's smallest independent republic.
Although other island states may be smaller in area and/or less populous, they are all dependent territories of other countries, so Nauru keep the title of the world's smallest independent republic.
Mining of Nauru's phosphate deposits, which occupied about 90% of the island, began in the early 20th century under a German-British consortium. During World War I, the island was occupied by Australian forces and became a dependent territory. Nauru achieved independence in 1968. In the 1980s, phosphate exports briefly gave Nauruans one of the highest per capita incomes in the Third World. As of 2008, most of Nauru's revenue came from the export of phosphate to Australia, South Korea and New Zealand as well as other countries. The industry is controlled by the Nauru Phosphate Corporation (NPC). It is anticipated that the phosphate reserves will be completely exhausted before 2050. The sale of fishing licences is the other major revenue raiser. Countries such as Australia and Taiwan provide substantial development cooperation funding. Despite this, the unemployment rate currently stands at 90%, which is the highest in the world. That is not the only problem on the island, as over 95% of the population is obese and over 40% suffer from diabetes.
In 2001 the container ship Tampa rescued several hundred asylum seekers from a sinking Indonesian vessel and attempted to deliver them to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, which is an Australian Federal Territory. In what was labelled The Pacific Solution, the Australian Government established an Off Shore Processing Centre (OPC) on Nauru where these people were housed, pending assessment of their claims to be refugees. The OPC was closed in early 2008.
The climate is tropical, with some rain occurring between November and February.
There are a few "sandy" beaches but most of the shallow area around the island is coral reefs. Most of the interior of the island is worked-out mining land, which is to be rehabilitated.
There is a lagoon on the island, the only body of water there.
Get in
All foreign visitors require a valid passport, a 30 day tourist visa and proof of hotel booking or local sponsor in order to enter Nauru. Your visa must be obtained from your local Nauruan embassy before departure. There have been rumours on the Internet that you can get in for up to three days without getting a visa, but that is not accurate.
By plane
As of January 2014, Nauru's national carrier Our Airline flies to Nauru International Airport from Brisbane (Australia), Tarawa (Kiribati) and Majuro (Marshall Islands). Schedules change throughout the year; further details are available from the Our Airline website.
Get around
Nauru is so small that it takes less than one hour to drive right around it. The airport runway cuts across three of the twenty kilometres of road. The only traffic lights on the island are used to stop the traffic and allow the plane to cross the road to the terminal! This is a favourite souvenir snapshot taken by visitors.
Traffic drives on the left. The 19km Island Ring Road circles the island. Drivers should be on increased lookout for animals and pedestrians while driving on the beltway. There is a community bus which travels around the island every hour or so during the day. Cars or bicycles can sometimes be rented from Capelle and Partners, the largest local supermarket.
The official language is Nauruan, a distinct Pacific Island language. Some locals speak Tuvaluan or Gilbertese which are quite common around the island since these two ethnic groups have historically worked in the Nauru mining industry. English is widely understood, spoken, and used for most government and commercial purposes.
Nauru uses the Australian dollar as its national currency. Cash transactions are the norm; credit cards are rarely accepted. There is only one ATM on the island which is situated at the Menen Hotel reception area.
Food is imported from Australia and arrives by ship and plane, usually every week as the vessels have been in operation regularly. There are lots of small "eating places", selling Chinese food. There is a fast food kiosk at Capelle's supermarket served by the locals and at Milton Ross supermarket served by Filipinos. There is also another fast food take away at McDon's, serving Filipino dishes.
Nauru has a serious obesity problem, as will become apparent as soon as you arrive. The decision to mine the phosphates led to almost complete loss of agricultural land, with the result that almost everything is imported. Such imported foods are usually processed and high in sugar and fat. Several studies have cited the country as the fattest in the world.
Dining in Nauru is a great experience. During your Nauru tours, enjoy all kinds of delicious and healthy dishes. Since, Nauru is an island nation, seafood is very popular in its restaurants. Most of the restaurants of Nauru offer delicious seafood dishes.
If you go to the restaurants in Nauru, you will be offered authentic dishes that are loved by all. The cuisine of Nauru is highly influenced by the cuisines of countries such as Germany, Australia, China and Britain. You can savour all kinds of mouthwatering dishes in the various restaurants and bars in Nauru.
Local owned restaurants 'Jules' and 'Bay Restaurant' are popular names in the list of restaurants and bars in Nauru. Jules serves seafood delicacies from mussels, oysters and whatever you love from the ocean. 'Bay Restaurant' serves Asian delicacies and variety of pizza. Both places have various drinks to serve. There are many other restaurants in Nauru that are Chinese owned. There are many food stalls on certain roadsides on the island where local sell barbecue serves of variety dishes. If you crave for barbecue, keep an eye out for the 'BBQ signs' by the roadsides. Nauru cuisine is very light because of the high temperature. Another popular area to eat is at the 'Eigigu takeaway' which serves local food. It situated close to the Nauru Post office. Therefore, you will get to savour simple food items in the eateries of this country. The aroma and flavour of the delicacies of Nauru are unique to this country.
The dishes offered in Nauru are a treat to the taste buds. Sushimi, Coconut fish and Meat are one of their main foods. Cooked and smoked hams are also very popular.
The Reef Bar at the Menen hotel used to be the only bar in Nauru. It is situated at a walking distance of 30 minutes from the Od-N-Aiwo, the only other hotel on the island. It serves Australian beers, Chinese beer 'Tsingtao' and international spirits. The bar-room has a couple of pool tables, satellite TV and recorded music. It's lively at the weekends as there is local 'Live Bands' playing. There is also a huge flat screen allocated outside at the patio where there is a sea view at the background and guests and local friends sit and watch football game match live every weekends as part of their social outing. There is a new bar on the island 'Jules' situated in Denig district that is privately owned which had recently opened in the late 2012. New faces will be enthusiastically welcomed by the locals and the expats will usually have a chat, too. No flip flops/thongs/shorts (enclosed sandals are OK). The usual clothes wear for men is collar T-shirts or floral island shirts and skirts/dresses for women. Standard clothing is highly recommended.
There are two hotels, the more expensive Menen on the east of the island and the budget Od'n Aiwo to the west.
Stay safe
Like many other Pacific Islands, Nauru is surrounded by a shallow reef with cut-outs through the reef providing access for boats and harbours, and there can be strong currents across the shallow water, moving boats in the harbours, and dangerous marine animals on the reef floor. Ask for advice before venturing into the water.
The trafficking of drugs and narcotics of any kind will be punished severely.
Homosexual acts are still technically illegal in Nauru and can lead to prosecution. Open displays of affection between same-sex partners may offend some in Nauru.
Stay healthy
Water supply in Nauru is dependent on rainwater collected into tanks from the roofs of houses and from an ageing reverse osmosis desalination plant.

A life-long animal lover -- indeed, the book is dedicated to her
now-deceased pet dog Cody -- Dumas spent much of her time off working at
animal shelters and adoption agencies. "There are a lot more important
things in life than wrestling," she writes, and includes animal rights
within that statement. So much so, that Dumas has even started up an
organization of her own (adoreyourpets.org) to help educate people about
cause. It is this avenue, she writes, that she will undoubtedly end up in
when her wrestling career comes to an end.
Of course, that should still be some time away, given that her career is
still relatively young. It's that fact, perhaps, which brings to mind
one of
the only criticisms of the book: clearly, given her limited years in the
sport, Dumas couldn't possibly tell as interesting a life story as, say,
Mick Foley did in his autobiographical offerings. However, that being said,
Lita: A Less Traveled R.O.A.D. - The Reality of Amy Dumas is
still an
interesting read. It offers an honest and unapologetic look at the real
story of one of wrestling's most popular current stars. And, even if you're
not a fan of the Lita character, is still worth picking up.
'Bloodthirsty' Bob Kapur remains hopeful that WWE will ask him some
day to write
the Big Boss Man's biography.

So lets talk shall we? I'll go first and you can just leave your answers in the comments here, the questions are quite random- fun right?
Have you ever eaten a crayon?
I don't think I have!
The kid next door who is nine and in love asked me this the other day. Have you ever gotten a love letter?
My answer was yes of course loads, I get them all the time! ;-)
Wich perfume do you use?
I wear Allure by Chanel or Fuel for Life by Diesel.
Did you want a different name when you were little and if so what was it?
Oh yes I did, I wanted to be named Nancy for some reason. My son wants to be called James in his next life cute :-)
Have you ever been found playing air guitar?
Yup I have and I've played a fair bit of air harp, air flute and air xylophones too!
What was the crappiest job you've ever had? {remember you're not entirely anonymous online so if it's your current one perhaps it's wise not to mention any names!}
The crappiest job I've ever had was a paper route, I had it for exactly one day and then I gave up. I was about 15 years old and weighed 3kgs my bike was heavier than I was I couldn't hold it up straight. To top it off I had to drag it through the snow and got hit on by a drunk. Never again lol!
I crochet the scarf in the pictures using this tutorial It's called the Luna Lovegood scarf after the Harry Potter character and it's super fun and easy to make. I love Harry Potter!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better!

I am grateful for my friends and family's support. They are great. They support me no matter if it is a hard day at work or if i am trying to apply to grad school. My friends and family are my best cheerleaders. They believe in me when I do not. They trust in me when I do not. They know I can do it when I do not.
Even my five year old has more faith in me that I do in myself most of the time. He loves me unconditionally even when I don't like myself very much.
My boyfriend is so good with compliments. It may be hard for me to take a compliment, but I am forever grateful that he gives them.
I may not have many friends, but the ones I do have are dear. I appreciate every one of them, even if I do not tell them enough.
My family has always been there with me. Through everything I've been through, my family has been my rock. Always there to lean on.
I am grateful to these people in my life. I should tell them more often.

Finizio, Maynard back driver's license measure
Hartford - New London Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio and state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, spoke at the state Capitol Monday in favor of allowing people who had illegally immigrated to the U.S. or were in the country illegally to obtain driver's licenses.
They were among mayors, legislators, faith leaders and union members supporting a bill that failed in committee but will likely be revived as an amendment on the Senate floor.
The amendment, if similar to the failed bill, would permit someone, no matter their citizenship or immigration status, to obtain a motor vehicle operator's license, commercial driver's license or motor vehicle registration. To register a vehicle in Connecticut, a person must have car insurance, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles. To have car insurance a person needs to have a driver's license for the insurance company to check the person's driving history, said Jim Perras, government relations liaison for the state Insurance Department.
Advocates said the provision would allow the state and municipalities to collect more revenue. The state would collect revenue from the registration fee, $80 for a passenger vehicle for example, and municipalities would collect property taxes from newly registered vehicles. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy had proposed eliminating much of the vehicle property tax, but the legislature pushed the possibility of any type of elimination back to 2018.
Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch said the proposal was about "enlightened self-interest."
"This is about mayors that have to balance budgets, and a governor that has to balance budgets and legislators who have to balance budgets," Finch said. … "Most importantly to me more vehicles will pay property taxes."
Advocates also said the driver's license would enable undocumented people to come forward and report crimes and participate in the community and school system.
"It will make us safer, and it will grow our economy because it accepts and it affirms the basic, well proven, common sense principle that our state will grow when we ensure that no honest, hardworking law-abiding resident of our state is ever forced to live in the shadows of our society," Finizio said.
Washington state and New Mexico have similar programs, and Illinois and Maryland recently adopted programs.
"What we find is that honest, hard-working, law-abiding people are now able to feel more comfortable taking advantage of this process," Finizio said. "They are more apt to report crimes, they will pay insurance (and) they will pay taxes."
Maynard said the bill didn't make it out of the Transportation Committee because some ranking Republican members opposed it. The committee traditionally works in a bipartisan way, he said, not pushing through legislation with strong opposition from one of the two parties.
"For some folks, they have an idea in their mind about who it is we are trying to assist, and they have a notion that folks have somehow come here illegally and shouldn't be enjoying any of the rights or privileges," Maynard said.
A person might have initially immigrated to the country illegally or come temporarily and overstayed their time, he said.
"These folks are caught, admittedly perhaps by their own mistakes early on in their presence here, but now have become part of this country, and to keep them at bay just to make some hard-nosed statement about their original immigration status seems punitive at the extreme and not particularly helpful to the rest of us who have to use the road with them," Maynard said.
State Sen. Martin Looney, D-New Haven, said the bill has strong support in both chambers of the General Assembly. The governor also supports the bill, said House Speaker Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden.
Finizio said he has seen the benefits of a related program in New London.
At the start of Finizio's term in 2011 he issued an order directing city police not to inquire about immigration status if a person called about a crime or needed assistance, as long as the investigation was not part of a federal investigation.
He said this practice has increased the number of immigrants willing to contact the city government.
Having more people obtain driver's licenses would also increase the number of people who would be formally trained how to drive, advocates said.
The more people who chose to get insurance with their driver's license could also reduce hit-and-run car accidents and lower costs for insured drivers, Looney said.
Armondo Morales of New Haven said he and his wife are small-business owners, and when they got into an accident the driver fled and the vehicle was not registered. Morales and his wife were stuck with the medical bills and a totaled car, and their business suffered, he said.
If more people had driver's licenses and were insured, they might handle the car accident in a normal manner as opposed to fleeing, Looney said.
For those who might be opposed to the bill, Rep. Juan Candelaria, D-New Haven, said that the license would only be for driving, it would not allow anyone to vote in elections.
To obtain the license the person would need to provide identification from their own country, such as a passport from the country they emigrated from, and a utility bill, Candelaria said.
When asked whether people might be hesitant to have their information recorded on such a driver's license, union member Ciro Gutierrez said people are always afraid of deportation when they live in this country without documentation. But he added that they wouldn't be any more afraid with the driver's license.
