Winner Craig Owenby Receives $10,000 Scholarship, On-Air and Online Recognition and Opportunity to Meet Show Cast and Crew
New York, NY, August 5, 2013 - USA Network today announced the winners of the Burn Notice Science Challenge, a national competition, inspired by the hit series, to encourage learning in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among America's high school students.
Developed in consultation with a prestigious panel of science teachers from around the country, high school students were asked to design a safe, yet exciting, spy challenge that the characters of BURN NOTICE might face - such as covertly communicating with other operatives, gathering intelligence on adversaries or conducting surveillance of enemy territory. Following initial essay submissions, 25 finalists were selected to create a video demonstrating their proposed solutions to the challenge. Each entry was judged based on its scientific merits, as well as the quality and execution of the demonstration, by the panel of teachers and BURN NOTICE writers and producers.
"I was blown away by all the creative, clever entries we received - these are some seriously brilliant kids," said Matt Nix, creator and executive producer of BURN NOTICE. "STEM has always been a passion of mine, and I'm thrilled we were able to give these students a chance to demonstrate their talents in this area."
"Thank you to each and every student and mentor who helped make the Burn Notice Science Challenge such a success," said Eric Crossley, Science Education Advisor.

Avalanche win top pick in 2013 NHL Draft
New York, NY – The Colorado Avalanche will have the top overall selection in the 2013 NHL Draft after winning the league's lottery held on Monday.
The Avalanche came into the event with the second-best odds of coming out on top at 18.8 percent, with Florida owning a 25 percent chance after finishing with the NHL's worst record in the just-completed 2013 season. It marks the first time Colorado has earned the No. 1 pick since the franchise's days in Quebec, when the Nordiques chose Eric Lindros in 1991 before trading the future Hart Trophy winner to the Philadelphia Flyers after he refused to play for the team.
Lindros was the third straight No. 1 overall selection by the Nordiques, who tabbed Hall of Fame center Mats Sundin first in the 1989 draft and plucked eventual 400-goal scorer Owen Nolan the following year.
Florida, whose 36 points were three fewer than the Avalanche, will pick second in the upcoming draft, which will be held on June 30 at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Tampa Bay, which had a 14.2 percent chance of winning the lottery, will choose third, followed by Nashville (10.7 percent), Carolina (8.1 percent), Calgary (6.2 percent), Edmonton (4.7 percent), Buffalo (3.6 percent), New Jersey (2.7 percent) and Dallas (2.1 percent).
The Oilers had held the No. 1 overall pick in each of the last three drafts, which netted a trio of young standout forwards in Taylor Hall (2010), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (2011) and 2013 Calder Trophy candidate Nail Yakupov.
Seth Jones, an 18-year-old defenseman from Plano, TX, is ranked by the NHL Central Scouting Bureau as the top overall prospect for the 2013 draft. Jones is the son of Popeye Jones, who played 11 seasons in the NBA from 1993-2004 that included a stint with the Denver Nuggets (1999-2000).
This year's lottery was the first in which all 14 teams that failed to qualify for the postseason were eligible to claim the No. 1 pick. Previously, only the five clubs with the fewest points in the standings had the opportunity.
Philadelphia, Phoenix, Winnipeg and Columbus will occupy spots 11-14 in the draft, with the remaining order of the first round determined by the results of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The journals kept by a pioneering missionary couple provide insights into life in the Holland area in the years before the arrival of the Rev. A.C. Van Raalte and his countrymen from the Netherlands.
A new book makes the diaries of the Rev. George N. Smith and his wife Arvilla available to a general audience for the first time. The writings are featured in "Old Wing Mission: Cultural Interchange as Chronicled by George and Arvilla Smith in their Work with Chief Wakazoo's Ottawa Band on the West Michigan Frontier," edited by Robert P. Swierenga and William Van Appledorn and recently released by the Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
The publication is being celebrated with a book signing featuring Swierenga and Van Appledorn on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Copies of the book will be available during the signing for $35. The retail price is $49.
The signing will take place in the Smiths' Mission home on East 40th Street, which is the oldest building in the Holland area, and the place where Van Raalte and his family stayed when the vanguard of Holland settlers arrived in early 1847.
The book provides an intimate glimpse of pioneer life in early West Michigan. Rev. Smith was a missionary teacher and preacher who had a strong desire to educate and evangelize the Native Americans. The Black Lake Ottawa Band of Chief Joseph Wakazoo (original spelling without the "u") came to the region each fall from their summer lodgings around Harbor Springs.
In 1839, Reverend Smith and Chief Wakazoo persuaded the U.S. Congress to allow Indian families to purchase land. Wakazoo and Smith decided to locate their colony on 1,360 acres some three miles southeast of BlackLake (Lake Macatawa). The typical family owned 20 to 40 acres. Initially, the colony numbered 29 families and 118 souls, but it grew to 300 souls. Wakazoo's band chose the name Old Wing Mission in honor of Wakazoo's brother, Chief Ning-wee-gon, The Wing.
Swierenga and Van Appledorn note that the move to the Old Wing site was a difficult sacrifice for the Smith family, whose first dwelling was a crude log cabin. "Hardly a home," described Arvilla, "it was a pile of logs." As pioneers, the family suffered greatly from sheer isolation, starvation, illness, and the deaths of babies. In 1845, they moved into the frame home that still stands, which was built largely by Isaac Fairbanks, who later taught the Indians to farm in the white man's way.
Smith's journal swelled with entries reporting mission tasks and interrelations with the Indians. At times, according to the two editors, his relations with the Indians were troubling, and his aspirations challenged. There was discord among the Indians, who preferred their traditional Catholic practices. Rev. Smith struggled to teach the Indians to live like white men and become settled farmers. Swierenga and Van Appledorn note that the Indians were industrious--in one year, the Old Wing band produced more than 15,000 pounds of maple sugar cakes for a cash income of $1,200.
In 1845, according to the two editors, the mission faced its greatest crisis, the death of Chief Joseph Wakazoo. Reverend Smith held the chief in the highest regard and loved him like a brother. Peter Wakazoo, Joseph's brother, won the contest to be the new chief. He did not hold strongly to Smith's mission and talked of moving his band to the north, which happened in 1849 when the Indians and the mission moved to Northport.
Today the Smith home is owned by Robert and Carole Pavloski, who have carefully preserved the buildings and grounds because of their historical significance.
The book begins with an overall history of the mission by Swierenga. It also includes maps of the area and early photos, as well as recollections by Arvilla that were published in a Traverse City newspaper in 1892.
Swierenga is the A.C. Van Raalte Research Professor at the AC. Van Raalte Institute of Hope College, where he has been since 1996. He has studied Dutch immigration and related topics since the 1960s. He has written or edited 23 books and numerous journal articles, and lectured widely on issues related to the Dutch in America.
Van Appledorn is the author of a biography of Chief Wakazoo: "Chief Waukazoo: From Roots to Wing." His interest in the local Native Americans began as a result of his being a Civil War history buff. While conducting research, he learned of Payson Wolfe, a Native American who had been in the First Michigan Sharpshooters. Wolfe was a nephew of the chief and had married the Smiths' daughter Mary. Van Appledorn became acquainted with the Wolfe family, and through them was inspired to learn more about the Ottawas and their mission.
Copies of "Old Wing Mission: Cultural Interchange as Chronicled by George and Arvilla Smith in their Work with Chief Wakazoo's Ottawa Band on the West Michigan Frontier" are available at the college's Hope-Geneva Bookstore and at other area booksellers.
The Old Wing Mission house is located at 5298 E. 40th St. (147th Avenue), about one half mile east of Waverly Road. While it will be hosting the book signing, the home will not be available for tours on November 15.

Why the Rise of the Robot Workforce Is a Good Thing
Will robots take over the workforce? And if—or when—they do, what jobs will be left for us humans?
These were among the biggest workplace and management questions at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin over the weekend. Several of the panels at the sprawling tech conference focused on our future robot overlords, with many of the discussions taking a rosy view that the workforce will indeed be dominated by robots in the not-too-far future--and why that is a good thing.
Carl Bass, the chief executive of Autodesk, acknowledged that workplace automation has eliminated or reduced many manufacturing jobs, and will continue to do so in the future, leading to major shifts in the labor market. Entire industries, such as trucking, will eventually be disrupted by robotic advances like self-driving cars, he said. (Bass cited the book, "The Second Machine Age," by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee as a source for this robot-heavy scenario.)
But, Bass asked: "Are the jobs lost to automation ones that you would want for your children?" Few parents, he said, dreamed their kids would someday become fuel pumpers or elevator operators, jobs already replaced by automation. In the next 30 years, Bass added, smart machines and robots will outnumber humans on the planet.
Bass presented some outlandish ideas to help societies deal with the structural changes generated by a robot-heavy workforce, including taxing economic output rather than income, or implementing a "negative income tax," in which governments pay citizens a stipend in order to guarantee a level of income.
"With our creativity and imagination, we will find harmony with the robots," Bass said.
Meanwhile, other discussions focused on identifying jobs were likely to remain safe from robots. Heather Knight, a Carnegie Mellon roboticist who studies social interactions between humans and robots, suggested that hairdressers might be safe. But not because robots can't cut hair—she said the relationship between hairdressers and their clients simply can't be automated. (And, she added, some people might be wary of a robot holding a sharp blade so close to their necks, although plenty of robots already perform delicate surgery.)
Another job deemed safe? Roboticist.

'Conflicted' LaHood to depart
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced Tuesday that he is stepping down, and his departure means that President Barack Obama is losing a trusted quarterback for his ambitious high-speed rail dreams and a key defender of his stimulus spending — both programs that have fallen out of favor with lawmakers.
Congressional appetite for Obama's $53 billion plan to bring high-speed rail within reach of most of America has waned since lawmakers appropriated an initial $10 billion for high-speed and intercity rail during his first term. But LaHood's dedication to the program hasn't wavered.
Story Continued Below
"High-speed rail is coming to America" is one of LaHood's favorite stump lines — and he's kept saying it, even at appearances through last year. He's also tenacious in defending the administration's transportation-related stimulus spending. He routinely recounts how it's created jobs and kept investments in roads and bridges rolling in a tough economy, even as members of both parties recoil from the mere word "stimulus."
It remains to be seen whether LaHood's replacement will be as vocal a champion of Obama's big-spending transportation dreams, but one thing is indisputable: He or she will have to wrestle with the same highway and transit funding problems that have marked LaHood's tenure. The Band-Aid that Congress put over highway and transit funding will rip itself off in 2014 with no obvious balm in sight.
LaHood, who told POLITICO that Obama had asked him to stay on, said he was "conflicted" about leaving the "best job" he's ever had. And he said the president praised his steady hand at DOT.
"Over the last years, we haven't caused him any headaches, we haven't caused him any problems," LaHood said. "I think the president has appreciated the way we've run the department."
LaHood said Obama also appreciated the agenda he carried out, from increasing fuel-efficiency standards without Congress to spreading billions around the country for high-speed rail.
In a statement, Obama said that "every American who travels by air, rail or highway can thank Ray for his commitment to making our entire transportation system safer and stronger."
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said he had "urged" Obama to appoint LaHood in the first place, and he singled out LaHood's support for the stimulus program as well as high-speed rail.
"He inherited an agency during extremely difficult economic times," Durbin said in a statement, adding that LaHood's safety legacy will "impact generations of Americans." Durbin also said he'll miss his "partnership and sound advice."

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Obscene Remarks and Sexual Advances Were Commonplace and Woman Who Complained Was Fired, Federal Agency Charges
CHICAGO – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that it has filed suit in federal court here against Tomayo Financial Services, Inc., a mortgage lending organization with four offices in the Chicago area, charging that women employees were sexually harassed and retaliated against when they complained.
John Rowe, the EEOC Chicago district director who managed the agency investigation which preceded the lawsuit, said, "Our administrative investigation revealed that numerous men employed at Tomayo, including the higher-ups, were part of continuous and widespread harassment of women. They allegedly referred to women with sexual epithets, engaged in threatening physical and verbal sexual conduct and ignored repeated complaints."
The EEOC case, captioned EEOC v. Tomayo Financial Services, Inc., N.D. Ill. No. 09-CV-06094, and assigned to District Judge Ruben Castillo and Magistrate Judge Nan R. Nolan, was filed September 30, 2009 after EEOC's efforts to voluntarily resolve the matter through its statutory conciliation process proved futile.
John Hendrickson, EEOC regional attorney for the Chicago District, said, "It does not matter what industry is involved—whether it's automobiles, household products, mortgages—sexual harassment and retaliation are non-starters from both a business and a legal perspective. But as plain as that ought to be, not every employer gets it. That's why cases like the one we filed today remain central to the EEOC's mission."
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

In his recent Huffington Post blog, World Bank President Jim Kim spoke about how the learning crisis is one of the greatest obstacles to development. According to the United Nations, an estimated 171 million people can lift themselves out of poverty if all students in poor countries acquired basic reading skills.
Improving literacy and numeracy can boost annual economic growth by 2 percent in low-income countries. When girls get to go to school, the impact is even more profound. Better access to education for girls since 1970 has prevented more than 4 million child deaths and providing girls one extra year of education boosts eventual wages by 10-20 percent.
So, what will it take to achieve Learning for All? The president's blog outlines 5 critical actions for countries and their partners: investing early, supporting the most disadvantaged children, making schooling count, measuring what children read and ensuring resiliency. Read the full blog here and also see a related infographic.

Third world countries,especially those in West Africa should be encouraged to look into the option of laying of their interest in ownership of rural schools.And lead local communities to partner with their diaspora and consultancy organisations in quality rural education.If this is done teaching and learning could be made more relevant and meaningful to the rural child reducing apathy and increasing enrollment even for girls.But fist things first, such partnerships have to key into internationally acceptable definitions of quality rural education.
When you get the chance of study please use the time properly, once its pass it never come back the time and please help the school the girls in their study because they depend of parents.
This is an excellent post, the first step is to reach the classroom and this is the hardest where poverty reigns and easy where people are well-off and the rest of the steps are the hardest where people are well-off and quite easier where poverty reigns. That much said, Education deserves much of the global effort !
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog
and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
After all I will be subscribing to your Web-Page and I hope you write again very soon!
distance Education in Mumbai
Reaching the classroom is the first step of the child, but if he does not effort that much also, then whose responsibilities it become, allow him to take a first step for the government of the country should be responsible for that.
eduction is very important part of our life it gives the all knowledge of our world and gives to understand about of our knowledge.
I really enjoy simply reading all of your weblogs. Simply wanted to inform you that you have people like me who appreciate your work..
It would be super neat to see a book-writing experiment using Coursera's built-in wiki platform.
I am going to add that to the project syllabus now! What a great idea, a MOOC-written book using the wiki on the future of education as open, peer education on a massive, global scale.
Thanks so much for suggesting it.
I like the comments publish on this blogs, but I would like to emphasize on the fact that the first step in education, reaching the classroom in poor countries is the result of efforts that should be done by both populations and governments. Cultural believes are still very strong, and it will take a methodological approach to handle the situation. On the other hand, the decentralization process that is going on in many countries can help the government addressing directly the situation. I thing the World Bank should work on that aspect.
This is a good news. Thanks for sharing this.

She could speak only with her eyes.
But Lia Lee's life bridged worlds and changed American medicine.
Lia, the subject of Anne Fadiman's 1997 book "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down," died Aug. 31 in Sacramento at the age of 30, after living decades longer than doctors said was possible. The immediate cause was pneumonia, although it was epilepsy and sepsis, a toxic reaction to infection, that had left her in a vegetative state for much of her life.
"Medicine couldn't have kept her alive. I'm certain love kept her alive — that sounds off the wall, but I mean it in a literal sense," Fadiman said this week. "It was her family's continuing love and care for her through all these difficult years."
Lia, who would become a symbol for incorporating cultural understanding into medical care, was the first American-born daughter of a fiercely loving Hmong family. When she started suffering epileptic seizures, her parents turned to their traditions to help her. Authorities took their daughter away from them for a year for not properly giving her prescriptions which came with dizzyingly complicated instructions. Language and cultural barriers fostered misunderstandings on both sides.
Lia's family, like so many Hmong, fled Communist Laos after the Vietnam War. The Hmong, an ancient, agrarian tribe who lived high in the Laos mountains, were recruited by the CIA to fight the North Vietnamese. After Saigon fell in 1975, the Hmong were persecuted and many were killed. About 150,000 fled the country.
By 1980 Lia's family was among the first wave of Hmong refugees to arrive in the United States. After perilous flights and years in sodden Thailand refugee camps, many Hmong settled in California's Central Valley, new immigrants with little exposure to the modern world who believed deeply in a world of spirits and shamans.
Lia Lee was born July 19, 1982, in Merced. When she was 3 months old, she had her first seizure. American doctors eventually diagnosed epilepsy. Her mother, Foua Yang, and her father, Nao Kao Lee, called it qaug dab peg (pronounced "kow da pay"). To them it was a spiritual illness: They thought their daughter's soul was wandering and needed to be called back from the farthest reaches of the spirit world.
As chronicled in "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" (the title is a translation of the Hmong name for epilepsy), Lia's parents thought the medicines were making their daughter worse. Her doctors grew frustrated as the family called in shamans, sacrificed roosters and tied strings around her tiny wrist, but did not always give their exceptionally beautiful and animated daughter her prescriptions. At the age of 3, the sick child was removed from her home by Child Protective Services.
"I can't imagine the heartbreak that my parents went through," said Lia's sister May, who stayed at the foster home to keep her younger sister company. "My parents were always loving. They filled our home with nothing but love. To think of someone taking a child away from such parents."
Authorities returned Lia after a year of the family's pleadings. Shortly afterward, she had a grand mal seizure. She lost all higher brain functions and was sent home to die. Her family had cared for her ever since, keeping her at the center of their home and activities.
Fadiman's book recounting Lia's story was published at a time when the medical community was doing its own soul-searching about a more holistic approach, such as including the patients or their families in decisions about their health. It became required reading at many medical schools, including Yale University.
Closer to home, Lia's father was determined that she would make a difference to other families.
"When my father was driving me to college, he told me, 'You saw what your mother and I went through. When you have patients, I don't want you to judge them right away,' " recalled May Lee, who is now a clinical health educator who sometimes works with noncompliant patients.
Lia's doctors were long since forgiven and embraced by her family. They were invited to Lia's traditional three-day Hmong funeral, where her soul was guided home.
"Even though we lost this beloved sister to us, we know she is going to continue to help patients question their doctors and doctors listen to their patients," said May Lee. "Lia's story brings people together. She was here to teach us all something."
Lee is survived by her mother, Foua Yang; brother, Cheng Lee; and sisters Chong Lee, Zoua Lee, May Lee, Yer Lee, True Lee, Mai Lee and Pang Lee.

Ryan is a sick mother fucker. As the older brother of three sisters, he should be protecting them but no, this sick fucker keeps dragging his sisters to Papa GMP every time one of them fucks up. One would think that this isn't healthy but seems his kinky little sisters think it's fun to get fucked by an old guy as their brother films it.
Now, I'll admit, the first time I met Papa GMP, I was a bit scared – the old fucker has a colossal schlong but he really knows how to fuck a teenager so I soon got over my nervousness. And funny as it may sound, most of the sisters that Papa GMP fucks on BringMeYourSister.com come back and do at least one more amateur smut clip for one of his other smut sites.
This is how it works: Papa GMP (they call him that because he runs a smut company called Glass Mannequin Productions) runs an add in the local paper looking for brothers who's sisters have fucked them over or who have done them worng. He offer the perverted brothers a way to get even – by casting their unknowing sisters in their first smut clip……… You would be amazed at how many sick fuckers hunger for to see their little sisters getting fucked.
Well, the sick bastard Ryan in one of those perverted brothers who likes watching his little sisters having sex. We got to know the pervert when he brought the oldest of his three younger sisters to Papa GMP's home. Then a few weeks later, he shows up on Papa's porch again, this time with his middle sister. At least he has smoe sexy teen sisters. Well, Papa isn't one to shy away from an opportunity to fuck someone's teen sister so he handed the camera to Ryan and away he went. He told me later that both sisters have super tight teen coochies and that it was real hard not to semen as soon as his hard schlong split their tight teen coochies.
From looking at the photograph of Anistaija, I think I can understand him (at least as well as any woman can). He has some sexy sisters. To make a long story small, Papa fucked Anistaija as her brother filmed till she could take ti no more, then shot a colossal load of hot semen all over her tight belly. Then he paid her brother for the video his sister had just made. Something inherently woron with that picture but that's the way it wen down.
The entire collection of the high-quality hardcore images and video clips of Ryan and his sisters can only be seen to on BringMeYourSister.comNo tags for this post.

Metamorphoses and other novels of the period are less familiar to undergraduates than more canonical texts, but it's important for students to be introduced to these surprisingly modern – and fun – stories that can help us reflect on both the ancient world and our own.
In the novel Metamorphoses, a Roman man named Lucius has an insatiable curiosity about magic. While attempting to transform himself into a bird, he accidentally changes himself into a donkey. Throughout his time as a donkey, Lucius, retaining his human mind, experiences the darker side of life in the Roman Greek world.
Professor Ashli Baker, classics & ancient Mediterranean studies, focuses her research on this novel, written by the Roman North African author Apuleius in the 2nd Century, CE. "It's interesting as a study of the question of identity," she says. "An elite Roman citizen is stripped of his identity and has to adapt to life as a donkey." The novel is also one of the first "conversion narratives," according to Baker: Lucius joins the cult of Isis as a condition of his transformation back to human form. In his real life, says Baker, Apuleius was an accomplished orator who found himself accused of witchcraft, a capital charge in the Roman world. She examines his orations and defense speech in addition to his fiction.
Baker includes Metamorphoses in her seminar on the ancient novel as a way to engage students in discussions about the intersection between fiction and lived reality. "Metamorphoses and other novels of the period are less familiar to undergraduates than more canonical texts," she says, "but it's important for students to be introduced to these surprisingly modern – and fun – stories that can help us reflect on both the ancient world and our own."
Baker, who also teaches Latin, Heroic Epic and Roman History, sees her work as a "multi-directional conversation between students and teachers."
"I have high expectations for active student participation and I strongly encourage students to add their voices to the classroom environment," she says. This environment is vital to her work on Apuleius and other ancient writers, because every class contributes to her research in a constant loop. "My conversations with students inform my research, and my research in turn contributes to student learning," she says.
"I am so pleased to be a member of a department filled with dynamic and supportive teachers and scholars," says Baker. "I am also excited to act as a mentor to my students, both those who intend to pursue a profession in Classics and those who have other dreams for the future."

National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) recently commended the Senate for passing several energy efficiency amendments to HR 4850, the Enabling Energy Saving Innovations Act, before the chamber adjourned for the election.
"NEMA is committed to saving energy and saving lives. We are pleased with the Senate's passage of these bipartisan and commonsense energy saving measures," said NEMA President and CEO Evan R. Gaddis. "In particular, we are grateful for the tireless leadership Senators Bingaman, Shaheen, and Portman have displayed throughout the 112th Congress.
"Using our energy resources more efficiently is a cause that everyone can get behind, and we encourage the House to take up this legislation when they return after the November elections," he added.
The provisions offered by Senators Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) and Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) would:
- Require the Department of Energy (DOE), in collaboration with the Department of Defense and the General Services Administration, to develop and issue an annual best-practices report on advanced metering of energy use in federal facilities.
- Require DOE to conduct a study within one year of the legal, regulatory, and economic barriers in all electricity markets for deployment of industrial efficiency technologies such as electric motors, demand response, direct or indirect combined heat and power, and waste heat recovery, and to provide policy recommendations for overcoming these barriers. Issues to be studied include transmission and distribution interconnection requirements, net metering, and calculation of avoided cost rates.
- Clarify the factors the Secretary of Energy must consider as part of the economic justification for any new minimum efficiency standard under the residential appliance and commercial equipment energy conservation program.
- Direct DOE to establish an advisory steering committee to provide recommendations on planning and implementation of the Advanced Manufacturing Office, including national trade associations representing energy service providers.
- Require DOE to conduct a feasibility study on government-wide data centers as preparation for closing a minimum of 800 Federal data centers by October 1, 2015.
Read NEMA's summary of important provisions included in the Shaheen-Portman amendment here.
NEMA has issued a public statement to 2012 presidential and congressional candidates outlining proposals that create a more secure, energy-efficient, and healthy future for the country and its citizens. A copy of "Saving Energy & Saving Lives" is available on the NEMA website.

A magician and a folk singer are the stage attractions at this year's Royal Bullthistle Festival in Fayette Aug. 4 in Normal Grove Park.
A full day of entertainment and eating is planned, starting with the parade and wrapping up with Phantom Firework's annual show at Harrison Lake.
In between comes the bullthistle judging, food, softball, basketball, arts and crafts and more.
Joseph Helfrich of Bradford, Ohio, known simply as "Joseph," will perform from 1 to 2 p.m. and again from 3 to 4 p.m. Joseph is a folk singer, multi-instrumentalist and storyteller with more than 25 years experience in entertaining. He has worked as a full-time musician since 1992.
Joseph specializes in vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin, recorders and the mountain dulcimer. His programs include a wide variety of musical styles as well as a healthy dose of humor.
Ann Arbor magician Jeff Wawrzaszek takes over at 2 p.m. with a humorous magic show aimed at children, but still enjoyable for adults in the audience.
The Bullthistle Parade begins at 11 a.m., with the theme "We are Bullish on Bullthistles." There's still time to create a parade entry. Call 419/237-2830 or 237-3061 for information.
Look for art on sale made by members of the Black Swamp Artists Guild, plus numerous creations in the arts and crafts area.
The chicken barbecue begins at noon in the park, and several other food booths will be serving throughout the afternoon.
Bullthistle judging gets underway at 1 p.m., including the awarding of the people's choice Frank Wilson memorial trophy.
One final event after festival day is scheduled Sunday morning at 10:30 when the community church service begins in the Grove.
There's also an event on the day before the festival begins. On Friday, Aug. 3, the Fayette United Methodist Church will sponsor its annual ice cream social and dinner at the Opera House from 4:30 to 7 p.m.
The Fulton County Red Cross breakfast at the Fayette American Legion was canceled for this year.

STOCKTON, Calif. - Rebounding from a difficult defeat to UC Davis on Friday night, the UC Santa Barbara women's volleyball team gutted out a big five-set victory over Pacific on Saturday at the Spanos Center.
UCSB improves to 13-11 overall and 6-5 in the Big West, earning a tie for second place with Pacific and UC Davis, both of whom are also 6-5.
Game scores for the match were: 25-23, 21-25, 22-25, 25-23, 15-13.
Chelsey Lowe, the Gauchos' libero, moved into 10th place all-time in career digs as she recorded 19 and passed Liz Towne (1985-88) for the No. 10 spot in school history.
Kara Sherrard led UCSB in both kills (17) and digs (22), pacing an attack that saw four players record double digit kills. Leah Sully had 14 kills and 19 digs while Stacey Schmidt had 13 to go with 13 digs and Lily Lopez added 11 putaways.
Freshman setter Hanna Nielson also recorded a double-double with 49 assists and 14 digs.
The final game of the night proved to be a battle with both teams trading points until a costly Pacific hitting error at 13-13 gave the Gauchos a match point that they would not waste. UCSB got a kill from Schmidt to end the two hour, 19 minute match.
The final two point margin in game five was the only time either team held a lead of more than one point in the game.
Santa Barbara broke out a 4-0 run in the first set to seize control, rallying from a 21-19 deficit. Two Sully putaways and a UOP error fueled the run but the Tigers came back to tie it at 23-23. A timeout by Kathy Gregory regrouped the troops and a Pacific error and a Sully kill ended it.
After wins in sets two and three, the Tigers would have their chance to bury the Gauchos for good after turning a 15-15 contest into a 21-16 lead behind four kills from Gabby Cowden, who finished the game with six of the Tigers' 16 kills in the frame. However, just as they did in game three, UCSB rallied and outscored the Tigers 9-2 over the final 11 points of the game to knot the match at 2-2 and force the fifth and decisive game.
Two attack errors and a kill from Sherrard brought UCSB to 21-19 forcing UOP to call timeout. Two more kills from Sherrard and a kill by Lopez eventually tied things at 22-apiece. After trading points, two more hitting errors by the Tigers gave UCSB the life it needed to pull out the victory.

Los Angeles: On December 19, 2004, at about 4:30 a.m., Southeast Area Patrol Officer Mary O'Callaghan, Serial No. 31186 assigned to unit 18U3, received a radio call to 11620 Town Avenue regarding a residential burglary investigation.
Officer O'Callaghan's investigation revealed that unknown suspects forced entry into LeTrise Lowery's locked and secured residence. The suspects took several items from underneath Lowery's Christmas Tree, valued at approximately $1,050.00.
Lowery is a single parent and she is the mother of a three-year old son. She worked extremely hard all year to purchase the items (toys, stereo, and clothes) taken during the burglary.
Officer O'Callaghan orchestrated a collection within the Division to try and restore some of the items taken. After hearing about the incident, several Southeast Area officers willfully donated items and money to replace the loss experienced by the Lowery family. In addition to purchasing the gifts on December 22, 2004, Officer O'Callaghan and her partner Officer Geoghegan delivered groceries to the Lowery family.
On December 23, 2004 at 3:00 p.m., Southeast Patrol Captain James E. Craig, Sergeant Johnnie Jones, and Officer Mary O'Callaghan will present Ms Le Trise Lowery, with the charitable items to help alleviate the Lowery family distress.
Officer O'Callaghan is commended for her interest in restoring happiness and joy to the Lowery family. This is yet another fine display of the professional attitude displayed by the men and women at the Los Angeles Police Department Southeast Division, placing the interest of the community first.

This Atlanta wedding captured by Tenth and Grace will make you rethink your local eatery. Fave restaurants aren't just for dinner and drinks; they also make the perfect backdrop for celebrating "I Do's". And this location done up with florals by Gold & Bloom proves extra special because it was the site of many a date for this Bride and Groom and also sits right across the street from where they got engaged. So to say JCT Kitchen was written in the stars for these two is a complete understatement.
Nicole and David wanted a wedding that really reflected who they are as a couple – part traditional, part modern and completely Atlanta. Choosing JCT Kitchen as the venue for their wedding was an easy choice – the couple lived nearby while they were dating and often dined at the restaurant. They even got engaged across the street! So the location was so meaningful to them and it was the perfect spot to exchange their vows. Although it poured fifteen minutes before the ceremony, the clouds moved out just in time for Nicole to walk down the aisle and we even enjoyed some sunshine later in the day. It was a beautiful day for this sweet couple!

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Northern Virginia's scenic Creighton Farms in Aldie, Va., will return as host of the 2013 Southworth Senior PGA Professional National Championship presented by Mercedes-Benz, Oct. 10-13. River Creek Club in Leesburg, Va., will also return as the co-host of first and second round play.
The 264-player field will be composed of senior PGA Professionals representing the 41 PGA Sections, and will compete for a total purse of $285,000 on both courses over the first two rounds of play.
Creighton Farms, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, will again host the final 36 holes of competition.
Southworth Development, with headquarters in Newton, Mass., is now in its third year of title sponsorship.
"The PGA of America has been blessed to have a committed title sponsor and outstanding host venues in Northern Virginia to present this national championship for an accomplished field of senior PGA Professionals," said PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "The Southworth Senior PGA Professional National Championship continues a popular tradition for our member professionals. Last year's finale ranked among the best clutch shots anywhere in golf. We anticipate another great Championship this fall."
Last year at Creighton Farms, Jim Woodward of Oklahoma City, Okla., secured a one-stroke victory by hitting a career approach shot on the par-5 18th hole to within tap-in range for an eagle.
Creighton Farms, a par-72, 7,410-yard layout that opened in 2008, was one of two private courses in the world to achieve recognition by Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine, and Travel Leisure Golf in the same season. In 2009, Golfweek selected Creighton Farms among its "Best New Private Golf Courses."
Creighton Farms reflects the Nicklaus trademark of a challenging design, focusing on course management strategy and precision rather than power.
"We are delighted that River Creek and ClubCorp will again join Southworth Development and Creighton Farms in hosting the Southworth Senior PGA Professional National Championship," said David Southworth, president and CEO of Southworth Development. "These two exceptional courses will provide players with many distinct challenges as they compete for this prestigious title. I'm sure it's going to be an enjoyable and memorable week for everyone."
River Creek Club, with six of its 18 holes positioned along the Potomac River, is a challenging, 7,036-yard, par-72 layout, was designed by Ault, Clark & Associates, with Tom Clark of Marshall, Va., the lead architect. River Creek Club debuted in 1997, and is one of the facilities in the network governed by ClubCorp. River Creek Club features large undulating greens as its signature and most prominent set of challenges.
Begun in 1989, the Senior PGA Professional National Championship is modeled after the PGA Professional National Championship, with a field of 50-and-older senior PGA Professionals who advanced through 41 Section Championships conducted from July through September each year.
The top 35 finishers in the National Championship earn a berth in the 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, May 22-25, 2014, at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich. In addition, the top five finishers will be exempt into the final stage of the 2013 Champions Tour National Finals.
Since its debut, many participants in the Senior PGA Professional National Championship have used their success in the event as a springboard to a Champions Tour career.

Right-Wing Media Livid Over Obama's Economic Growth Trip To Latin America
Research ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
The right-wing media have continuously attacked President Obama for proceeding with his long-planned trip to Latin America in the wake of the crises in Japan and Libya, often mocking his trip as a "vacation." In fact, the President's trip will be "focused on economic opportunities for the United States and the trade relationship" with Latin American nations.
Right-Wing Media Attack Obama's Latin America Trip As A Vacation
Fox & Friends' Doocy Declares Obama's Latin America Trip "Is A Vacation." During the March 18 broadcast of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy said of Obama's trip to Latin America: "What is happening with the president while all of this is going on in the United States and around the world? He's going on vacation. He's going to Rio. You've got to be kidding. Taking his family. It sounds like a vacation to me. Rio? Hello?" Later Doocy stated: "Rio is a vacation." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 3/18/11]
Fox & Friends Graphic: "The President's Spring Break?" During the March 18 broadcast of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the following on-screen texts aired during a report on Obama's upcoming trip:
[Fox News' Fox & Friends, 3/18/11]
Wash Times: "Obama Couldn't Care Less." A March 17 Washington Times editorial criticized President Obama for his recent actions and activities, stating that "the president parties while the world burns," and calling the past week "President Obama's spring break." [Washington Times, 3/17/11]
"Partyboy President" Obama Is Our "Most Self-Indulgent President" Ever. A March 17 post to Andrew Breitbart's Big Government.com, entitled "Obama: Our Partyboy President," stated: "In two short years, Barack Obama has wrested the crown for most self-indulgent president from Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend, Bill Clinton." Additionally, the post included the following image:
[Big Government, 3/17/11]
Fox Nation: "Obama Family Hitting The Beach In Rio This Weekend." A March 17 post to Fox Nation entitled "Obama Family Hitting the Beach in Rio This Weekend" quoted a Daily Mail article which stated: "Mr Obama has refused to scrap a five-day trip to Latin America that will take him to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador. Resisting demands that he should remain at home in the White House to deal with the international response to Japan's nuclear crisis and Colonel Gaddafi's crackdown on anti-government rebels, the president insists he can stay on top of the fast-moving developments while on the road. Some Republican critics have complained the sunshine trip symbolises Mr Obama's lack of leadership at a time of international chaos." [Fox Nation, 3/17/11]
Fox Nation Criticizes Obama's Refusal To "Scrap" Trip To Central America. A Fox Nation post on March 16 mentioned Obama's trip to Latin America, stating that he "refus[ed] to scrap a five-day trip" on Friday that will "take him to sun-dappled Rio de Janeiro, among other places, rather than staying home to focus on the increasingly disastrous international news confronting his crisis-weary White House." [Fox Nation, 3/16/11]
Crowley: "The World Is Aflame! Go To Work!" On Fox Business Channel's America's Nightly Scoreboard, panelist Monica Crowley said: "We're living in a media world. Perception is reality. He's always shooting hoops, he's having Terry Bradshaw nights at the White House, he's in Rio. The world is aflame! Go to work!" [Fox Business, America's Nightly Scoreboard, 3/15/11]
Right-Wing Media Aghast Obama Can Focus On More Than One Issue At A Time. Previously, the right-wing media have attacked President Obama for supposedly not focusing on crises in Japan and Libya by instead honoring women's history month, going golfing, and filling out NCAA tournament brackets. Yet, Obama has engaged on both issues by making numerous public addresses and ordering humanitarian relief efforts in Japan and the Middle East. [Media Matters, 3/16/11]
But The President's Trip Is Not A Vacation, Instead Focuses On American Jobs, Economy
President Obama: "Jobs At Top Of Latin America Agenda." A March 18 editorial in USA Today written by President Obama stated:
[I]n this increasingly interconnected and fiercely competitive world, our top priority has to be creating and sustaining new jobs and new opportunities for our people.
That's one of the reasons I will travel to Latin America this week -- to strengthen our economic relationship with neighbors who are playing a growing role in our economic future. [USA Today, 3/18/11]
Morning Joe: Obama Going To Rio "To Promote Jobs And American Exports." During the March 18 broadcast of Morning Joe, co-host Joe Scarborough discussed the president's upcoming trip to Latin America with the show's contributors. From the broadcast:
BUCHANNAN: I don't know if it's a good idea to go partying in Rio this weekend when we're talking about air strikes on Libya.
SCARBOROUGH: I missed that press release from the White House. Is the president quote, partying in Rio? Okay, so what is he doing -- Steve Rattner, what is the president doing in Rio this weekend?
RATTNER: He's going to promote jobs and American exports. [MSNBC's Morning Joe, 3/18/11]
Carney: The President's Trip To Latin America Is An Attempt To Bring "Economic Growth" to U.S. A Yahoo news article quoted White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, who stated of the trip: "You have to remember that economic growth in the United States is the president's top priority. This trip is very focused on economic opportunities for the United States and the trade relationship." [Yahoo News, 3/16/11]
AP: Obama Trip To "Build Job-Creating Opportunities For The United States And To Address Regional Security Concerns." From a March 18 Associated Press article:
Over the next five days, Obama is to travel to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador in what the White House is casting as a mission to build job-creating opportunities for the United States and to address regional security concerns.
The trip, considered by many in the hemisphere as long overdue, is also an effort to solidify relationships that have slipped two years after Obama declared "a new chapter of engagement" with the region.
In that time, China has expanded its economic footprint in the region and has surpassed the United States as Brazil's top trade partner.
Despite the competing, pressing demands on the president's attention, the White House has been determined to proceed with the trip, emphasizing the potential the region holds for U.S. economic growth.
"It's imperative that the United States not disengage from these regions," deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said. "When we disengage, our ability to advance partnerships that serve our interest suffers." [The Associated Press, 3/18/11]
Cancelling Obama's Trip To Latin America Could Be Viewed As "Major Setback In U.S. Relations" With The Region. A post to America's Quarterly, the policy journal for the Council of the Americas, argued:
Amidst nuclear meltdown in Japan, growing pressures to respond to the carnage in Libya and the specter of a possible U.S. government shutdown, flitting rumors have circulated that the visit of President Barack Obama to three Latin American countries may be cancelled or postponed. This would be a major setback in U.S. relations with the Western Hemisphere, signaling once again that Latin America is at or near the bottom of U.S. foreign policy priorities." [America's Quarterly, 3/15/11]

Costa da Morte
Virgen de la Barca shrine
An area of legend formed by 17 towns and villages, it was for a long time thought to be the end of the known world. As well as being the final destination for many pilgrims on the way of Saint James, this coastline in A Coruña (Galicia) in northwest Spain has fascinating cliffs, fishing ports and charming seaside villages with stone houses.
Captivating nature Vast beaches such as the ones at Carnota, O Rostro and Baldaio, and landscapes begging to be photographed like Monte Louro, the capes of Fisterra, Touriñán and Vilán and the Sisargas Islands... all this awaits visitors, and can be seen from the various viewing points along the way. Heritage The old quarter of Corcubión, the shrine of the Virxe da Barca de Muxía and the typical hill forts of the megalithic culture are also well worth a visit. And to really discover the magic of this place, the best idea is to take the Lighthouse Route from Malpica to Carnota. Fiestas and traditions One of the highlights in Muxía is the pilgrimage of Nosa Señora da Barca, which has been declared a Festivity of National Tourist Interest. To learn more about the way of life on this coastline, one option is to sign up for any of the marine tourism activities which offer a chance to see, for example, the barnacle pickers –known as 'percebeiros'– at work.
