Remarks at a White House Luncheon for Members of the Volunteer International Council of the United States Information Agency
Thank you all very much. And Director Wick and ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. And since I had just discovered that 3 days with pears -- [laughter] -- I was all set for a joke about what should be for dessert and now, Charlie, you've already communicated. [Laughter]
You dropped a name here of Margaret Thatcher, so maybe I can substitute something that's even better. In our economic summits, where we all meet around a table, seven trading partner nations, and so forth -- sometime back when the summit was in England, which meant that Margaret Thatcher was presiding, one of the seven at the table got a little out of line, I thought, and attacked her that she wasn't being properly democratic in conducting the meeting and so forth. And I'm not going to name which country's representative it was. I don't want to embarrass him, but he really sounded off. And when the meeting was over, I fell in step beside her, going down the corridor. And I said, ``Margaret, he had no right to talk to you like that. He was really out of line.'' Brace yourself, fellas. She said, ``Oh, women know when men are being childish.'' [Laughter]
Well, Nancy and I welcome you to the White House. Now that we've finished our luncheon, I'd like to make a few remarks -- but don't worry, I'll keep it short. I've been trying to follow a joke that I've known for years. It's a story about ancient Rome and how one day, on a weekend afternoon when the little group of prisoners were huddled down in the sand in the Colosseum and the hungry lions were turned loose on them and came charging, roaring at them in front of the crowd, one of them stood up, faced the lions and said a few quiet words. And the lions just laid down. Well, the crowd was infuriated, and Caesar sent for the man; said, ``What did you say to them that made them act like that?'' He said, ``I just told them that after they ate, there'd be speeches.'' [Laughter]
Well, I want to thank all of you -- Charlie Wick, and the United States Information Agency -- for initiating this international council. I want to thank each of you for coming here and giving members of our administration the opportunity to speak to you directly. And if I may, I'd like to devote my own time to a brief discussion of economics.
month, October 1987, the American economic expansion that began in the fourth
quarter of 1982 enters its 59th consecutive month. Fifty-nine months -- that
makes this the longest peacetime expansion in the postwar era. We've seen the
creation of more than 13\1/2\ million new jobs. Inflation and interest rates
are down. Productivity is up. Investment is up. Indeed, from the fourth quarter
of 1982 through the end of 1986,
now, in a moment I'd like to turn to the connection between this American
expansion and the global economy. But first, it's important to understand the
causes of
the most widespread misconception holds that American growth has been impelled
primarily by the Federal budget deficits. Yes, the deficits are large, and our
administration has been working to reduce them. And it now appears that the
Federal deficits are on a downward path. The deficit for the fiscal year just
ended, as of October 1st, will be 30-percent less than it was in 1986, the
previous year. But throughout this expansion -- indeed, throughout much of the
eighties -- government debt and deficit ratios in the
No, the underlying reason for our expansion, the true reason, is simply this: The United States has become a better place to do business. Our administration cut regulations, supported a sound monetary policy, held back the growth of government spending, and, perhaps most important of all, cut tax rates. And as we did so, the return on investment went up. And overall, the American marketplace became freer, more energetic, more open to innovation and to the future itself.
Now, for me personally, I suppose the most gratifying aspect of all of this is the effect on our young people. In the words of author George Gilder: ``Opportunities summon initiatives.'' He said: ``Initiatives develop character and a sense of responsibility, a feeling of optimism. The future looks more open and promising to young people than it did before, for the simple reason that it is more open and promising.''
moving from the
growth along the
As I said, the global economy of increasing freedom and economic growth is already coming, it's already being built. The Communist nations know this as well as we do. They know, therefore, that they face a choice: They must either join the new world system or they will become obsolete. It's a decision they must make for themselves. For our part, we can only wait and hope.
the meantime, we can keep on building -- building, here in the
I know I've come to the end of the remarks that I wanted to give to you here, but you are epitomizing something that has long been a creed of mine. And that is that we're only in trouble when we're talking about each other, instead of talking to each other. And that has come together in this room. It doesn't happen too many places in the world, or too often. But all of those of you, Charlie, and all of you who've had a part in this, I think, can be very proud of this great accomplishment.
I just want to add two more things. When I spoke about us lifting regulations and so forth to help the economy and all -- I've always believed that there's nothing government can do as well, other than a certain few things like national security, as the private sector can do if government gets out of its way and sets it free to do it.
I remember one of my first experiences with government was as an adjutant for an Army Air Corps base in World War II. There was a warehouse filled with files, and the files containing documents and records and so forth -- but which upon going at them you recognized that they were of no historical value. And they were totally useless, their time had passed them by. So, we started a message in the usual military style of sending a message, endorsing it up to the next in command, asking permission to destroy those papers so we could make use of the files for current documents. And then the next echelon -- they endorsed it up and up and up, and finally to the top command. And then back down through the channel it came, and the answer was yes. We could destroy those papers providing we made copies of each and every one. [Laughter]
The other one is when I was mentioning taxes. I'm getting assailed right now. I should make this speech to the Congress -- [laughter] -- about some who just seem to be dying, they think that our deficit and everything is caused by our tax cuts. Just between you and me -- and I wish they'd find it out -- ever since we started cutting the taxes in our administration, the tax revenues for the government have gone steadily up. Once you gave people an incentive to earn more money by saying that you weren't going to take half or more of it away from them, they went out and earned more money. And, so, we're going to try to make them understand that, and that would be a help in cutting our deficit, too. So, I would welcome another tax cut any time.
Thank you all very much. God bless all of you.

Here is my question to you, please feel free to answer it or leave a comment below.
If you stayed at your current weight would you be happy?
Could you go through the next 30,40, 50 years in the shape you are right now and be happy?
Where some might think that your physical appearance should not be tied to your happiness or state of mind, I say different. So many people are consumed…yes, comsumed with unhappy thoughts because they are over weight and out of shape. When I was at my heaviest (225lbs) there were days that all I could think about was how much happier I would be if I could just lose weight. Then there were days that all I could think about was which decadent food could I eat next. It was a viscious cycle and I am still tormented by it today.
If you aren't willing to make some sacrifices then you need to make peace that you are where you are and your weight will not change. In fact, and this is not to fear monger but to open your eyes…your weight will go up. Getting older and not being active means you slow down. Your hormones are involved (menopause) your metabolism slows to a grinding halt, add in stress and you have a recipe for obesity.
What will your life look like in a year, 2 years or 5 years if you continue to do nothing?
I guarantee…I mean I guarantee that if you start to put focus on your health you will feel better, you will stop feeling fat, ugly and miserable. Today is your day. Monday is the start of a new week…you get to start doing something-anything that will help you get into shape.
If you do nothing and keep doing nothing you will be unhappy…plain and simple. The emotional side of being overweight is so mentally taxing but aside from that you are taking years off of your life…which is a fact. Why would you want to do that?
Today is your day. Today is the day that you will make healthy choices and do some real physical activity.

I have been a little obsessed with dessert lately. Not that I've eaten a lot of them, but I've been on the hunt for… something… you know when you are craving something and you don't know what it is? Well, I found it. I was craving this: mini apple pies. But not just any little pie, ones made with egg roll wrappers. This appeals to me in the same way a super-thin crust pizza appeals to me. I don't feel as guilty if the crust is light and "other stuff" is healthy-ish. Apples are healthy, right? Cinnamon is healthy, right? We just won't think about the sugar right now.
I stumbled on this recipe from spoonforkbacon.com over on Pinterest and I think I might give it a whirl on Easter Sunday. I'm already making Ina's Potato-Fennel Gratin and I know some of the sisters are planning on bringing dessert but you can never have enough dessert. Sacrilege. Let us never speak of it.
While reading through the recipe I noticed that they use tapioca pearls in their filling, a little trick I use in my berry crisp because the tapioca creates a thickness in the sauce without adding flavor or strange texture. You won't even notice it's there but will make a dreamy filling.
So here's the gist:
You combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl (apple, tapioca, lemon, cinnamon, sugar, etc.) and let it sit a bit to meld. Take your little egg roll wrappers and add a dollop of filling, seal and bake until lightly crisp and browned. Oh yum.
You can get the whole recipe here: Baked Apple Pie Egg Rolls
And while we're at it, feel free to follow my boards on Pinterest. I pin a lot. A-lot-a-lot. Muchos pasadores.

Support comes in to renew PMC contract
Civic body cans plan to construct gallery for cartoonists' work; now admin gets support from well-known citizens to renew expired agreement for 30 yrs
After children, parents and activists came out in support against the playground at Garware Balbhavan being used for a memorial of late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray, some well-known persons in the city have come forward to demand that the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) renew the land agreement on a permanent basis.
Acclaimed astrophysicists Dr Jayant Naralikar and Dr Arvind Gupta and ecologist Dr Madhav Gadgil are all for the administrators of Garware Balbhavan to renew the contract with the PMC for the next 30 years at least.
MiD DAY had highlighted on February 19 ('Please don't take our playground'), the pleas of hundreds of kids in the city, and their parents and eminent citizens to PMC to spare the playground from change.
Facing flak
The civic body's decision to allot half-acre land adjoining the Garware Balbhavan for a cartoonist art gallery did not go down well in certain quarters of the city. The PMC Standing Committee passed a resolution in January that the proposed art gallery would be named after Thackeray.
MiD DAY followed up with a report that civic body had changed its mind and was to shift the memorial and art gallery plan to the area near PMC's storeroom and land adjoining Balbhavan ground. The decision was taken in the PMC GB meeting recently.
"Without the playground, Balbhavan can't function," Shobha Bhagwat, founder-director, Balbhavan said. The agreement between Balbhavan and PMC was valid from July 1, 1994 to June 20, 2009. This is now posing an obstacle for Balbhavan to continue with activities for children.
Dr Narlikar and his wife Mangala are all for the Balbhavan getting the ground on a permanent basis. "We are with Balbhavan, which is doing a good work for children since the past three decades. There is no reason for the PMC to refuse that it continues. They should ensure that the contract gets renewed for the next three decades," Naralikar said.
The Naralikars had earlier extended their support to initiatives to keep the hills in and around the city green and sought that encroachments be removed from such areas. Dr Gadgil said, "I am always supportive of a noble cause. Playgrounds are not only the lungs of the city, but Pune needs more such spaces. Balbhavan is for children in the city and before any commercial activity begins to take hold of it, Balbhavan ground should made secure from such forces."
Need 30 years more
Shobha Bhagwat, Founder Director, Balbhavan added that a letter with signatures of other esteemed supporters, including veteran women activist Vidya Bal, Sadhana Dadhich, cartoonist S D Phadnis, Mangesh Tendulkar, Gandhian activist Shobhana Ranade among others would be sent to PMC Commissioner Mahesh Pathak, seeking that the contract be renewed for the next 30 years. When contacted, Vidya Bal said, "We are sure that the letter would serve the purpose and Balbhavan's contract would be renewed without losing its existing ground. We are prepared to agitate if the PMC turns a deaf ear to our demand." Madhuri Sahastrabudde, Bharatiya Janata Party corporator, who runs a children's activity centre 'Balranjan', said, "Why only 30 years? I had proposed at the PMC General Body meeting that Balbhavan should be leased the same area for the next 99 years, and that too with minimal charges."
Letter sent to CM
Indravadan Zarad, an advocate from Surat, Gujarat, read MiD Day article and approached Shobha Bhagwat to show his support and sent a letter (copy with MiD DAY) to the chief minister. "I have already written a letter to the Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, who is also heading the Urban Development Department. I have urged him in the letter not to put any kind of reservations on the children's playgrounds in the state. I will file a public interest litigation if my demand is rejected," Zarad said.

Maria van Lieshout's Flight 1-2-3 (Chronicle, 2–5 years) is a lively counting book and introduction to air travel, but with its uncluttered pages and eminently readable typeface, the book also highlights the important role graphic design plays in daily life. The crisp illustrations mimic airport signage — down to characters who look like they stepped off of restroom signs. Clearly, van Lieshout is a fan of airports and of creating books that engage preschoolers. We asked her about both of these interests, and about surviving transatlantic flights with small children.
1. What did you learn about airport signage that you didn't know before creating this book?
MVL: Much! I tried to make this book about the universal experience of traveling through an airport to go on a journey, but as I learned, each airport has a distinct personality with its own look and feel, and its signage reflects that. This sensibility is often related to the spirit of the city the airport is in. San Francisco International Airport, for example, has a yoga room, and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has an extensive airport library: books by Dutch authors are available in more than two dozen languages for people to read while waiting for their departures. Amsterdam's airport also has an annex of the city's Rijksmuseum with paintings by the Dutch Masters.
2. How did you do your research? Did you hang out in a lot of airports?
MVL: Yes! I tend to spend a lot of time at San Francisco Airport (SFO), because it is my son Max's favorite thing to do on a rainy day. We take the metro there and ride the airport train from terminal to terminal. We watch the planes take off and land, then we will ride the elevators and moving walkways inside the airport and look at all the signs. It's how I got the idea for this book.
3. What is it about the book's typeface, Frutiger, that makes it so universally readable?
Book designer Sara Gillingham and I decided to set the book in Frutiger because it was specifically developed for France's Charles de Gaulle International Airport by Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. His goal was to come up with something that was easily viewable from different angles and that had a modern look to suit Paris, but also with an inviting feel. This beautiful typeface is easy to read because it is very airy. I studied graphic design and worked as a creative director for many years. Typography has always been a special interest of mine, so I can get a little carried away with this stuff…
4. What do illustrators of books for very young children have in common with graphic designers?
MVL: Reading a book is an intimate experience, and writers and illustrators have the advantage of a captive audience. This is an advantage most graphic designers don't have. Writers and illustrators must reward the reader for his or her attention by providing words and images that are thought-provoking and engaging. This applies both to adult readers and to kids, but the very young have short attention spans, and their developing brains can only process so much information all at once, so that's why I try to be very mindful about what I include in (and what I leave out of) an image or a sentence. This is somewhat similar to trying to decide what to include in and what to leave out of a billboard image that drivers will see for a brief moment, or packaging that has to stand out on a shelf among thousands of other products.
5. You're from the Netherlands but now live in San Francisco. What are those flights like with a young child? And what advice can you share with parents?
Ha! Eleven hours on a plane with a three year old. Where do I start? The trick is to keep him busy. I bring lots of toys, puzzles, books, and games that he either doesn't know yet or that I've hidden from him for a while so they are like new. I pace the reveals, so I still have something exciting to give him well into the flight. I also make sure to have an aisle seat so we can get up and walk around often. And, yes, the iPad. I have it fully loaded with apps, e-books, movies, and games.
One thing I will not bring again on our plane trip to Holland in August is crayons. On the last flight, our chairs, armrests, and tables were covered with Max's scribbles. I thought I could just wipe everything down at the end of the flight with a wet towel, but apparently crayon on airplane seats is pretty permanent. Oops.

Discovery Procedures
Requests for discovery are received in the following ways
- Entry of Appearance will trigger notification
- Faxed request from defense counsel
- Request in person at Central Services window in Fort Collins
- Request in person at District Attorney's Office in Loveland
- Request mailed to Central Services
Discovery Fees
- There is no cost for discovery on open cases for the defendant or defense attorney's
When out-of-town attorneys submit an entry of appearance or request for discovery, Central Services will notify the attorney via fax when initial discovery becomes available at no cost and mail any new discovery every Wednesday.
Initial Discovery Procedures
Upon receipt of an entry of appearance from the defense attorney, the attorney's name will be entered into the imaged database as the attorney of record. When discovery is available, a notification will be sent via fax.
Supplemental Discovery Procedures
When additional information is received, subsequent discovery is automatically available for pick up and notification will be sent via fax. In addition, defense counsel will be provided with all available subsequent discovery every time they come to the Central Services window. Subsequent discovery will be mailed to out-of-town attorneys weekly.
Requests For Public Access Information
A request for discovery form must be filled out; Central Services will forward the request to the Deputy District Attorney for approval or denial. The individual making the request will be contacted with 7 to 10 business days informing them of the outcome of the request. Proper ID will be required prior to releasing any information. The fee for this information is the same as the initial discovery fees.
If public access is requested on a Juvenile of Sexual Assault case, the case must be redacted by the sexual assault investigator prior to releasing any information. An appropriate charge for redacting the case will be assessed and vary depending on the length of time to complete the redaction process. Redacted copies of cases may take five (5) business days to complete.
Requests For Discovery From Victims
Requests for discovery by victims shall come through the victim specialist assigned to the case or may be filled out by the victim. Central Services will forward the request to the Deputy District Attorney for approval or denial. The individual making the request will be contacted within 7 to 10 business days informing them of the outcome of the request. Victims will not be charged for discovery.
Requests For Release Of Second Sample
A release for second sample form must be filled out and an authorization letter will then be provided by Central Services. This letter must be picked up by in-town attorneys at the Central Services window. Out-of-town attorneys will have the letter faxed to them.
Intoxilizer information will automatically be imaged and provided.
General Information
When evidence or discovery discs are not readable, the damaged disc must be returned in order to receive a duplicate disc free of charge. If the disc is not available for whatever reason, we will charge for the duplication.
Occasionally, we receive discovery requests from significant others, parents of adult defendants, etc., on behalf of the defendant or juvenile. In order to verify and release discovery to someone other than the defendant, we require a notarized release signed by the defendant authorizing their adult representative to receive discovery and a photo ID from the adult representative. We will verify the defendant's intent to the best of our ability. When we receive discovery requests from attorneys who have not entered on a case, they must fill out a criminal justice records request.

By reducing the +12V common- mode voltage, an INA122 can sense the voltage drop across a shunt resistor while being powered by the same +12V power supply. Rg controls the voltage gain of U1. This circuit is scaled for a 2.5V output range centered around +1.25V; thus this amplifier can measure bidirectional shunt current. An INA122 does not feature a R-R output so the sinking current is limited to about -0.3A. This can be useful where battery current must be monitored while it is being charged or discharged. Bypass capacitors are not shown. (Circuit is created by Tucson)

text: Hi friends, I created a Sword module repository for a bibledit-web installation, so that the translators and consultants can regularly and easily update their Sword front-ends on their computers and mobiles, and then always have the newest Bible text being translated. However, I can't get it to work well. I read http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Creating_and_Maintaining_a_Module_Repository, and pointed the anonymous root of the FTP server to the exported Sword module. In this case, the following details apply for the remote source: Type: FTP Host: bibleconsultants.dyndns.org Directory: /ShonaTeam/sword/basic-2 I can enter this remote source in Xiphos, and then refresh the remote source, and then the ShonaTeam module appears in the category Bibles, language "Unknown". Trying to install this in Xiphos: It says: Failed. Trying to install this in BibleTime: It hangs forever during installation. When downloading file ShonaTeam.zip, I can unzip it into ~/.sword on Linux, and the module will then be visible in Xiphos and BibleTime. I also tried $ tar czvf mods.d.tar.gz mods.d/* to create the modules tarball, but this made no difference. Is there something I am overlooking? What can I do more to fix it?

Many medical concerns transcend the limits of our own society, so it is important to respond to the global challenge to extend the benefits of modern medicine. Case School of Medicine and University Hospitals have a long and outstanding tradition in international health in research, education and clinical practice. Interest in overseas medical experiences has been increasing. Many of our residents have taken advantage of our collaborations to spend time in healthcare facilities in a variety of locations across the globe. Some work these experiences into the categorical track while others join our International Health Track (IHT).
The IHT has 1-2 slots each year. Admittance into this track allows the candidate to be eligible for a certificate in International Health from the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH). Candidates typically have a 4-6 week overseas experience in their third year and have the opportunity to pursue a Master's degree in Public Health, Epidemiology, or Biostatistics.
Clinical Training in the IHT is very similar to the categorical track. There are the same number of ward, ICU, and ambulatory months. Although total elective time is comparable, it is anticipated that persons in the IHT will use some of their electives for their international experience.
Resources exist within and outside of the Department of Medicine for International Health training.
Within the Department, the Division of Infectious Diseases and HIV Medicine has several projects, primarily based in Uganda. Research efforts include HIV and tuberculosis, and range from bench science to translational projects to clinical trials and epidemiological studies. Projects are done under the auspices of The Case Center for AIDS Research and the Tuberculosis Research Unit. Collaborations in India are under development.
Another important resource in the School of Medicine is the Center for Global Health and Diseases (CGHD). Areas of research in the CGHD include malaria, filariasis, schistosomiasis, and other tropical diseases. Collaborations exist in Kenya, Papua New Guinea, Cote D'Ivoire and Brazil. The Center is also the current home for the editorial offices of the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (AJTMH).
Certification in Tropical Medicine ::
The Division of Infectious Diseases at University Hospitals/Case Medical Center provides a didactic series in International Health that is accredited by the American Society for Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Lectures are held Mondays at noon during the academic year, and are organized by the Chief ID Fellow.

Toyota, Japan - European champions Chelsea will face Monterrey in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup after the Mexican side defeated South Korea's Ulsan Hyundai 3-1 in Japan on Sunday.
In the intercontinental tournament's other quarter-final, Al Ahly of Egypt beat J-League winners Sanfrecce Hiroshima to set up a dream last-four tie with Brazilian giants Corinthians.
CONCACAF champions Monterrey went through thanks to two goals from forward Cesar Delgado and one from midfielder Jesus Corona, in a match that saw the camera-based goal-line technology Hawk-Eye used for the first time.
The victory at a largely empty 36 000-capacity Toyota Stadium avenged Monterrey's defeat in the same round last year when they crashed out on penalties to Japan's Kashiwa Reysol.
"The experience of last year was really helpful to us," Monterrey coach Victor Vucetich said. "This time we were better prepared."
"Chelsea are a well-known team in the world but we are confident and we are not going to lose any hope. We will be playing to win," he added.
Monterrey were dealt a blow less than 24 hours before kick-off with the news that star striker Humberto Suazo would not be fit for the match, but the absence of the Chilean was quickly forgotten as the Mexicans started brightly.
Corona opened the scoring after just nine minutes with the easiest of tap-ins at the back post following an inch-perfect pass across goal by striker Aldo de Nigris.
Monterrey continued to press forward and De Nigris missed a golden opportunity just two minutes later when he headed straight at Ulsan goalkeeper Kim Young-Kwang from close range.
Midway through the first half it was Ulsan centre-forward Kim Shin-Wook who missed when it looked easier to score, the number nine failing to get enough on a header from the edge of the six-yard box following an in-swinging free kick.
Monterrey also started the second half strongest, but it was not until the 77th minute they managed to score a second goal when neat interplay between their forwards ended with Delgado side-footing the ball into the net.
Shortly afterwards the AFC Champions League winners were further behind, when Delgado took the ball round an Ulsan defender and placed it in the corner of the net on the 84th minute.
A strike from long range by Asian player of the year Lee Keun-Ho, which deceived Monterrey goalkeeper Jonathan Orozco, proved to be nothing more than a consolation.
Ulsan coach Kim Ho-Gon said: "Our opponents had really great organisational and individual skill, and we were not able to make the match ours or fully leverage our capabilities."
Al Ahly, wearing black armbands in memory of the 72 fans who died in the Port Said Stadium disaster in February, started at a frenetic pace and got their reward after only 15 minutes when Elsayed Hamdi scored from inside the box.
Hiroshima levelled on 32 minutes when top scorer in the J-League last season Hisato Sato fired a shot underneath goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy as the Egyptians were down to ten men with Hossam Ghaly receiving treatment off the pitch.
The Japanese champions spurned two opportunities before the half-time whistle blew -- chances they would rue 12 minutes into the second half when substitute Mohamed Aboutrika, on for Ghaly, pounced to score after a defensive slip-up.
Al Ahly coach Hossam El Badry said: "We tried to be aggressive at the beginning and we started the match very well... I think we deserved to win."
Hajime Moriyasu, the Hiroshima coach, said: "In the middle of the first half we started to demonstrate aggressive football in the Hiroshima style but in the second half we suffered from fatigue."
Al Ahly, seven-time African champions, will take on Copa Libertadores winners Corinthians in Toyota on Wednesday. Monterrey will play Chelsea at Yokohama International Stadium the next day.
Ulsan and Hiroshima will compete in a fifth place play-off.
Neither of Sunday's games appeared to have a contentious goal-line incident for Hawk-Eye, which uses seven cameras to determine the trajectory and position of the ball, to judge.
Hawk-Eye is one of two systems FIFA are trialling at the tournament. GoalRef, a magnetic-field-based technology, made its debut Thursday.

Must-know: An investor's guide to the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) (Part 4 of 5)
Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA)
Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA) transports, stores, and markets crude oil. It also transports, processes, stores, and markets natural gas liquids (or NGLs) and owns and operates natural gas storage facilities. The company operates in three segments: transportation, facilities, and supply and logistics.
The transportation segment transports crude oil and NGLs through pipelines, gathering systems, trucks, and barges. The facilities segment provides storage, terminaling, and throughput services for crude oil, refined products, and NGLs and natural gas, and it also provides NGL fractionation and isomerization as well as natural gas and condensate processing services. The supply and logistics segment purchases crude oil and NGL from producers, refiners, processors, and other marketers. This segment also stores inventory and NGLs, resells or exchanges crude oil and NGLs, and transports crude oil and NGLs on trucks, barges, railcars, pipelines, and ocean-going vessels.
As of April 7, 2014, the company had a market cap of ~$20 billion and an enterprise value of ~$28 billion. PAA's revenue for LTM (the last 12 months) as of December 31, 2013, totaled $42 billion. Adjusted EBITDA over the same period was $2 billion and distributable cash flow amounted to $1.6 billion. At a current unit price of $55.43, and given the latest quarterly distribution of $0.63 per unit, PAA has a current yield of ~4 %.
PAA as a component of AMLP
Plains All American Pipeline LP (PAA) is the third largest component of the Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP) and is weighted at 7%. So factors affecting PAA would significantly affect AMLP as well. Other MLPs that are a part of AMLP include Kinder Morgan Partners (KMP), Enterprise Product Partners (EPD), and Magellan Midstream Partners (MMP).
Positive growth drivers
PAA has a presence in most major shale crude oil plays, including the Bakken, Eagle Ford, and Permian. Oil production is expected to continue to grow in the US, particularly in these regions, which is a positive for PAA's crude logistics and transportation assets. PAA expects to grow 2014 distributions by ~10% over 2013 distributions.
Negative growth drivers and risks
Government regulation has greatly affected the oil and gas industries in recent months. There's been strong political opposition to new large projects such as pipelines and refineries in North America. The most recent example of this has been the blockage of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Plus, news of oil leaks from pipelines operated by different companies has surfaced in areas ranging from Utah to the Gulf Coast region. So concern regarding increasing regulation has increased.
PAA's rail services serve as a buffer to these regulatory effects, however, rail is generally more expensive than pipeline as a transportation method, and recent incidents involving rail accidents have also caused increased scruitny. Another concern about PAA revolves around the capital structure. The general partner gets 50% of any distributions in excess of $2.70 per unit per annum, pushing up PAA's cost of capital and constraining its ability to increase distributions to limited partners. Cost inflation and project timing delays are also potential risks to the partnership's capex program, as PAA expects capital expenditures for expansion projects in 2014 to be approximately $1.7 billion and an additional $185 million to $205 million for maintenance of capital projects.
The company also has some exposure to crude oil price differentials, as discussed in the guidance section below.
Per the guidance, EBITDA for 2014 is forecasted at ~$2.15 billion, which is almost the same as the consensus estimate ($2.2 billion) and as compared to 2013 EBITDA of $2.3 billion. PAA notes that it expects a slight decline in EBTIDA year-over-year as 2013 was an extremely profitable year in its supply and logistics segment, which benefited from abnormally large differentials in crude prices that the company was able to exploit. For 2014, PAA expects a return to "baseline" supply and logistics profitability. Plains All American Pipeline expects net income in 2014 to range from $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion and earnings per unit in the range of $1.95 to $2.32.

NEW YORK (Jul. 24)
Label A. Katz, president of B'nai B'rith, today denied a report that at the recent World Conference of Jewish Organizations in Paris a number of participants "expressed dissatisfaction over the occasional practice of Israeli Government leaders in claiming to speak on behalf of all Jewry."
Mr. Katz also denied that he was authorized by the conference to bring the issue to the attention of Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. He pointed out that since the subject was not mentioned at the conference, there was obviously no basis for any such authorization.

The federal government is considering closing as many as 60 courthouses around the country. Five of them are in Georgia.
The Georgia sites are Athens, Dublin, Statesboro, Waycross and Valdosta in the Middle and Southern Federal Court Districts.
Dublin Attorney Jim Nelson says if the courthouse closed he would have to travel more than 100 miles to try many criminal and civil cases and charge defendants for his time and mileage.
"It would be expensive and very much inconvenient for the public, the parties that are involved in the case and jurors."
Local jurors would travel to courts as well. Nelson says the federal government unsuccessfully attempted to close the Dublin courthouse in the late 1990's. It's since undergone a multimillion dollar renovation.

such as "Introduction", "Conclusion"..etc
A central aim in population biology is to discern the relative contribution of intrinsic (density-regulated) and extrinsic (environmental) factors to fluctuations in population size and demographic composition, with increasing emphasis placed on quantifying the complex interplay between the two [1-4]. The mounting number of long-term ecological studies available for the measurement of population dynamical parameters, although still relatively rare, is providing a more refined understanding of the combined effects of these mechanisms [4-8]. For instance, investigating the relationships between population density, environmental conditions and survival probability using mark-recapture techniques has provided important advances in this regard [e.g., [9-11]].
Given that populations of large, long-lived mammals tend to have a relatively low capacity for growth due to their long generation times and low reproductive output [12], it is hypothesized that intrinsic factors should regulate growth only near carrying capacity. Indeed, there is good evidence that this is the case in many large mammal species [8,12,13], with many studies concluding that extrinsic factors are the predominate drivers of change when populations are below carrying capacity [12,14,15]. However, the complex relationships that exist between extrinsic and intrinsic control mean that there is no species for which there is a complete understanding of how abundance is regulated over the complete range of population densities [16]. Another bugbear is that many populations with a high degree of age-dependent fecundity and mortality may not reveal density dependence if the time series used in the investigation is short relative to generation time [4,12,17]. In practice, it is usually only possible to examine the combined effects of density and environmental conditions through measurements made over long periods spanning an array of population densities or levels of food availability. As such, there are only a few case studies where this has been done for long-lived mammals, and most of those have focussed on island populations of ungulates [2,18,19].
Changes in the population size of large marine predators is potentially indicative of larger ecosystem changes given that their predominate regulator appears to be environmental stochasticity influencing food availability over vast oceanic foraging regions (e.g., [20-22]). Upper trophic-level marine predators such as seabirds and seals are particularly amenable to the examination of such mechanistic hypotheses because they are easily monitored during their obligatory onshore breeding phase [21]. Access to such rare datasets is particularly important given the predictions of climate change over the next few decades [22,23], and recent evidence for broad-scale changes in population trends in birds and mammals throughout, for example, the Southern Ocean [24-29].
The well-documented population decline and possible recent stabilization of one of the most wide-ranging Southern Ocean predators, the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) at Macquarie Island, has been the focus of intensive demographic studies for over fifty years [22,26,30]. Population censuses from the 1940s to the present and capture-mark-recapture studies from the 1950s and 1990s have provided extensive demographic data for this population at both low and high population densities [22,26,30-32]. There is strong evidence that this population responds to environmental stochasticity via modifications to individual survival given that this parameter is highly sensitive to the at-sea foraging conditions experienced by an individual over its predominately aquatic life cycle [22,32]. Foraging elephant seals breeding at Macquarie Island range widely over millions of square kilometres of the Southern Ocean [21,33,34], and it has been established that their feeding areas are associated to some extent with the pack ice zone and colder sea surface temperatures – these environmental conditions are known to fluctuate with El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) patterns [22,32,33]. In this region, ENSO follows an approximate seven- to eight-year cycle during which time ocean productivity can fluctuate substantially [35,36] (Fig. 1B).
It has been suggested that changes in ocean conditions affect southern elephant seals either directly by modifying the availability of food resources, or indirectly by affecting sea ice dynamics and hence, ocean productivity [22]. While some studies have shown that survival [37], weaning mass [38] and weanling sex ratio [39] are reduced or modified during El Niño conditions, the Macquarie Island population of elephant seals has shown a consistent positive relationship between El Niño and pup survival [40]. These contrasting relationships may arise from the different climatic conditions associated with ENSO events in different regions of the Southern Ocean [41].
There is also some evidence for density regulation in southern elephant seal populations, mainly via space limitation on land while breeding [42-44]. However, competition for food at high population densities may also occur during the at-sea foraging phase [22,45-47]. In this paper we expand greatly on previous work by amalgamating capture-mark-recapture data collected over two extended periods of differing population density at Macquarie Island: (1) the years between 1951 and 1960 when the population was relatively abundant, and (2) between 1993 and 1999 when it was approximately 50 % smaller. Our main aim was to identify whether there is evidence for density and environmental effects on survival rates and how these mechanisms combine to explain the observed phenomenological trends of population size over the last 50 years. We achieve this by (1) assessing the concurrent age-, and sex- specific survival at the two different density levels, (2) testing for density dependence in adult and first-year survival between and at both densities, and (3) testing for the effects of environmental variation as represented by ENSO on adult and first-year survival.

Sri Lankan apparel exports to EU may dip after 2014: Study
February 07, 2013 - Sri Lanka
From 2014 onwards, it might become difficult for Sri Lanka to export its apparels to the European Union, as it may lose its market share to other competitor countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Pakistan and Vietnam, according to a recently released study by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS).
In 2010 and 2011, Sri Lankan share in EU garment market witnessed a marginal decline compared to 2009, and it is expected to decline further, as the EU GSP Plus concessions have eroded, says 'Sri Lanka: State of the Economy 2012', released by the IPS.
Sri Lankan garments would have to pay higher tariffs to enter the EU once the new reforms come into effect in 2014, the study says.
On the other hand, Bangladesh already enjoys GSP Plus concessions, while Pakistan is also likely to become eligible soon for such concessions. Moreover, India is likely to soon sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with the EU, which would provide tariff preferences to Indian apparels in EU from 2014.
Hence, in view of competitor countries gaining tariff concessions, it would be a challenge for Sri Lanka to secure its market share in the EU after 2014, according to the report.
Sri Lankan apparels have also steadily lost their market share in the US from about 2.3 percent in 2005 to just 1.8 percent in 2011, the study adds.
The report suggests that the Sri Lankan garment sector should diversify its export market and commends the rapid inroads made in to new markets like Turkey and the UAE in recent years.

The Woman on the Internet
My heart has been grieved by recent events involving the Ashley Madison account, and especially when I hear of fellow Christian families whose lives have been impacted by this. I am burdened as a fellow sinner in this fallen, tainted world. Who isn't impacted in some shape or form by the seduction of this present world, and the ever readily available and in-your-face pornographic content flooding it? Who is there without need of grieving? Of fearing? Of praying and battling? This is an issue the church and individual families need to face with the seriousness of Proverbs 5-7. Father's need to be warning and instructing their sons. Go down this path- and die, says Solomon to his son. What comes to those who follow the adulteress is this: The hunting down and destruction of precious life, burning, scorching, punishment, violence, wounds, dishonor, and disgrace.
"All at once he follows her, as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as a stag is caught fast till an arrow pierces its liver; as a bird rushes into a snare; he does not know that it will cost him his life (Proverbs 7:23)."
Blind lust makes dumb, and it makes men forget. Would you forsake your wife? Would you forsake the "water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well (Proverbs 5:15)"? Would you harden your heart to the Lord and pretend He does not see? So many do, and they do it not only to their own hurt, but to the hurt of their God and their families. It doesn't get more serious than that.
There is much that needs to be said on this topic, but I wrote this poem only to address men, and to point to the hope found in Christ. I hope it might be used in somebody's life to the glory of God.
The Woman on the Internet
The woman on the internet
Doesn't make you wise,
The woman on the internet
Doesn't give you life,
The woman on the internet
Leads you into lies,
The woman on the internet
She is not your wife.
The woman on the internet
Calls you with allure
The woman on the internet
Says you'll dwell secure
The woman on the internet
Hunts down life that's dear
The woman on the internet
Perverts what is pure.
Now to the men who look at her-
Do not cast your blame,
Now to the men who look at her
You did seek your shame.
Now to the men who look at her
Quick pleasure your aim,
Now to the men who look at her
Like fire is a game.
That woman – does she know your touch?
That woman – does she love you much?
That woman – do her arms surround?
That woman – does her kiss resound?
Your secrets have a thin veneer
Your secrets God has seen quite clear
Your secrets to the surface near
Your secrets which enslave with fear.
The woman on the internet
Seemed to you so free,
The woman on the internet
Came so easily,
The woman on the internet
Had you as if drunk,
The woman on the internet
Where many men have sunk.
The Lord would from such trouble save,
The Lord would lift you from this grave,
The Lord would tell you to repent,
The Lord would straighten what's been bent.

My favorite part is when Adam asked Greg if he expects the d to make improvements and Greg's answer is...WELL IT BETTER IMPROVE. Thats the attitude a Michigan defense needs to have.

A world destroyed by a crystal explosion, a mysterious threat hanging over its inhabitants, and a goddess who creates a hero.Read full description
Unlike some, I did not go in expecting the quality or gameplay given to us by Nintendo in the past (Mario 64/galaxy) but I did expect something rather more solid than the state this game is currently in. I fell through ceilings and floors a few times, my girlfriend found a way to jump out of the first level, when changing the graphic settings a few times trees lose their texture occasionally, conversation skips that not work, hitting an enemy that miraculously hits you the same moment, stomping onto enemies not working, stomping on tree-stumps that need to be almost exactly dead center else they wont work, and not to mention the horrendous minecart controls (protip if you are stuck, right analogue stick, up>down>up>down REALLY fast) And a god forsaken amount of fetch & kill quests. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the more than occasional weird choice of sentences and words, sometimes it makes me wonder if the dev's haven't practiced their English lately, other times the chosen words don't feel well placed. (a static font going "great" after finishing a level feels cold instead of warm and joyous) And yes, you got that right.. I am currently only two hours in and this is already taking its toll on the rather cute, mild, kiddy gameplay non/semi-hardcore gamers might like. (i.e. my girlfriend) The art (read: environments) are rather nice, the flowers, plants, rocks, houses, it all looks stylized and well made. Caves look like caves, mines look like mines, forests look like forests, and the village looks like a mess only a mother would love, but in a good way. "I am sure he'll clean up nicely in puberty" The characters could use some more "character" to feel more alive but nothing really annoying. The enemies feel like simple AI though.. Their animations are short and simple and lack the toonesque feel you'd expect from games like these, especially when occasionally the animations of NPC's do shine (like the big rat in the Mine when you try to walk past him) The gameplay is simple, you can jump, double jump.. But it sadly doesn't feel all that solid.. The last second jump when walking towards ledges often results in falling to your doom, and more than often everything is spaced apart in such a way that its either a hit or miss situation, especially with the bad camera angles the game tries to auto-force on you over and over. As I said though, the game has potential and I really think if the dev's fix all the bugs and glitches.. This could be quite a kiddy-version ala Mario 64. I am sad though that they didn't take it a little further, made the movement of Ginger more smooth, added some wall jumping/ledge grabbing, made costume changing faster, and overall gave it some more polish. Would I recommend the game though? Yes, but I'd wait for a discount or hope the devs iron out all the hitches and glitches.

One-Day Workshop
Ensure that the first step is in the right direction
Even the longest journey starts with a single step. The EFQM One-Day Workshop is designed to help ensure that first step is a step in the right direction.
Many people think that implementing the EFQM Excellence Model is a long, complex and expensive process. However, that isn't necessarily true. Implementing the Model can be as simple or as complex as you choose to make it.
We have designed the One Day Workshop to help a Management Team with no previous experience of using the EFQM Excellence Model take that first step. In one day. Why make it complicated?
Workshop objectives
During the workshop, through a series of practical exercises, you will:
- Gain a basic understanding of the EFQM Excellence Model, the Fundamental Concepts of Excellence, the 9-box Model and the RADAR logic.
- Understand how these apply to your organisation.
- Complete a simple self-assessment of your organisation to establish a baseline.
- Agree an improvement plan, focused on helping to achieve your strategic goals.
The workshop can be used as a starting point for EFQM Committed to Excellence recognition.
EFQM Quick Check
The Quick Check is a simple self-assessment tool derived from the EFQM Excellence Model 2013. It has been designed to give a quick overview of your organisation's current capabilities against the EFQM Fundamental Concepts of Excellence.
It assesses the approaches you have in place and determine where the key opportunities for improvement are, based on the maturity of these approaches and their impact on your ability to deliver your strategy.
It is designed as a "first step" on your journey to excellence and the assessment can be completed, with an agreed action plan aligned on your strategy, in about 2 hours.
During the One-Day Workshop, you will complete this assessment for your organisation.
The One-Day Workshop can either be purchased as a "stand alone" session or in combination with the EFQM Committed to Excellence validation visit.
For more information or to organise a One-Day Workshop within your organisation, feel free to contact us at email@example.com.

Secure Bike Parking Just Cents Per Hour
At many locations in the Bay Area you'll find electronic, on-demand Bike Link locking facilities where you can park your bike securely for between 3 to 5 cents per hour! The lockers were created by eLock Technologies, which runs the Bike Link facilities.
While not ubiqutous just yet, one can see the amazing potential for this technology on the streets of New York City. Imagine a bike locker on every corner, not having to carry multiple heavy locks, and - most importantly - being able to ride even the most expensive model bike and know it'll be there when you return.
StreetFilms likes to dream, but seriously folks, this could be a moneymaker in NYC. I'd pay lots more than pennies per hour to lock my bike!
[intro music]
Clarence Eckerson Jr.: [00:08] Safe convenient bike parking in New York City is practically non existent. And although the city has installed thousands of on-street racks in the last five years, it still leaves a lot to be desired. And nowhere is that more evident than in places like this. We're here in the East Village, near the 2nd Avenue stop on the F-Line, and anytime you come here you could see dozens of bicycles just locked up to anything that doesn't move, fences, signposts and the few on-street bike parking racks that they do have. If you come over here, of course one of the big problems is is your bike even going to be here when you get back, or at least the way you left it? And you can see here this is missing handlebars, a wheel, seat post. Well it doesn't have to be this way. New York City could do a lot better. Last week I was out in the San Francisco Bay area where I visited a BikeLink bike parking facility. And there you can actually park your bike for pennies per hour safely and know that your bike is going to be there when you get back. If this sounds like a dream, take a look, it's not.
Gustavo Huber: [01:11] So we're here at the El Cerrito Plaza bike station and we have 48 eLockers available for use that have been installed here since 2004. And they're available for use for any BikeLink member. The City of El Cerrito purchased the eLockers to be put here in conjunction with bike racks, traditional lockers, the BART station and Ohlone Greenway, which runs right here in proximity to the Bay Trail and a number of other sort of bicycle arteries. It's really like a key transportation node for people on bicycles and on foot, catching buses, catching taxis, taking BART. The eLockers are just electronic on demand lockers that are meant to replace and add to bike parking solutions at internodal stations, at any place that you might want to ride to. With the traditional assigned locker, you might have five lockers and that means you can serve at most five people. But in reality you maybe have one hardcore user and then the rest of them are vacant most of the time or in long term storage. And you have a waiting list of at least twice as many people. You may have five/ten people on a waiting list. With the eLockers, each locker that's not currently in use is available for another user to use. You might have one hardcore person that's using the same eLocker every day, and the rest of them might rotate people. So the same eLocker throughout a year might serve five to seven different people, or more, depending on how many are visiting the site. You can go to any BikeLink vendor, like the snack bar that's over there who sells cards and you can pay cash, or you can go to bikelink.org where you get a small perk for signing up online. You register some basic information so that we can contact you and you're mailed a card or handed a card on the spot, you sign a User Agreement and then it's yours to use as a debit account, just like a parking card. When you go to a locker, you put a certain amount of time on and you prepay that amount. When you come back to check out your bike, any difference in time is either refunded onto your card or deducted off again. So if you stayed an extra hour, maybe an extra dime is taken from your card. If you stayed less than you thought, those extra four cents per hour are put back on. You take your prepaid BikeLink card, you show up at the locker and so long as it's available like this one is, you insert your card, it says Welcome to BikeLink, and then you start to add time, just like adding quarters into a parking metre. Press the button and the door is unlocked. Put your bike inside. Close the door. Remove your card and it'll remind you how long you have. And it'll count down time until the rental is expired. You come back, you have your BikeLink card. Now your card won't unlock any space except the one that it started renting. You show up. You put your card in. It'll say Welcome Back, and then you press the button to end the rental. Press the button, the door's now unlocked. And then you can remove your card, take your bike, close the door, and it's ready for someone else to rent. And in the meantime it remains locked so people can't put debris in it. In Oakland we have a slightly different system. A little bit newer. It has one controller for every two locker doors. And that way that we keep our prices a little bit lower for the cities that want to purchase eLockers. One of the central ideas of the eLockers is that they're available for everyday commuters and they're available for people that are just out and about touring.
Clarence Eckerson Jr.:
[04:35] So here I am in Downtown Oakland. Rode my bike down here
and decided to take Gus up on his offer to check out the BikeLink bike
parking that exists on 14th Street and Broadway. Gus
gave me a card, a BikeLink card, to use and came down here, found the
lockers, found an open spot, put the card in, put my bike in there about
15 seconds later, walked away. And I got to say it's the first
time I've ever been anywhere where I'm not worrying about my bicycle.
You know I know it's locked up in a very secure place right now, that
nobody can get to it. You know I'm not worrying about being
close to where the bike is locked up to, or worried about it not being
there, because I know it's going to be there. I wish New York
had something like this, if we have lockers like on every corner, it
would be pretty freaking amazing. You know, so I went out, got
myself a slice of pizza, I'm eating it here in this wonderful park,
and I know that, you know, my bike is a couple of blocks away and it's
going to be just fine.

Safely Home, and Aging in Place
Welcome to the Arizona Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Program (AzGWEP)! The mission of our AzGWEP is to improve the health and wellbeing of seniors by educating and training health care professionals in the special health care needs of this rapidly growing group. Seniors need skilled health care professionals working together so that they can remain as independent as possible, and stay safely home, and aging in place.
Where are we?
The AzGWEP has developed a remarkably successful statewide consortium and is a leader in interprofessional education. Our partners include: the University of Arizona Colleges of Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy and Public Health; the Arizona State University College of Nursing and Health Innovation and College of Public Programs-School of Social Work; the Southern Arizona VA Health Care System; and the five strategically located regional Arizona Area Health Education Centers (AHECs); in addition to several Community Health Center Organizations, Indian Health Service units, integrated care companies (The Hospitalist) and tribal units such as Tohono O'odham Nation Senior Services/Adult Protective Services & TO Long Term Care Facilities, White Mountain Apache Tribe Senior Services, Hopi Tribe Senior Services and other community partners.
Funded since 2002 by the Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services, the AzGWEP is hosted by the Arizona Center on Aging, a Board of Regents Center of Excellence in the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center.
Who do we help?
Our AzGWEP targets all of Arizona's elders throughout our state; with an emphasis on community-dwelling seniors aged 65 and older who are living with complex chronic conditions. These elders need skilled health care professionals working together so that they can remain safe and independent at home. Transitions of care are particularly difficult, as frail elders are at risk of functional decline or death as they move across the care continuum, from home and primary care, to emergency department and hospital, to skilled nursing and rehabilitation, and back to home with home health support.
Arizona has 63 areas and 72 facilities which are designated as Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs) and Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) (2009), adding considerable stress to our statewide system. The health care needs of Arizona's aging population are complex and considerable – and the AzGWEP provides critically important interprofessional education and training throughout our large and highly rural state.
What are our specific objectives for the 2016 AzGWEP? We will:
1. Improve the interdisciplinary training of health professionals in Arizona in geriatrics;
2. Develop and disseminate curricula in Arizona relating to the treatment of the health problems of elderly individuals;
3. Support the training and retraining of faculty in Arizona to provide instruction in geriatrics;
4. Support continuing education of health professionals in Arizona who provide geriatric care;
5. Provide students in Arizona with clinical training in geriatrics in nursing homes, chronic and acute disease hospitals, ambulatory care centers, senior centers and homes;
6. Improve access of elders from ethnic minority groups in Arizona to a capable, diverse, and culturally competent health professions workforce in geriatrics; and
7. Improve training of health professionals providing care to the vulnerable and culturally diverse populations in Arizona, especially in rural areas.
Our goal is to build a skilled health professional geriatric workforce to keep our seniors Safely Home, and Aging in Place.

(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Thorpe is concerned with the minutiae of historical and social change, what he calls "the rich tilth of an unrecorded history." A poet, Thorpe reconstructs with rich and remarkable authenticity the languages of the past, each of the twelve episodes being narrated in one or more spoken or written voices of the participants, ranging from seventeenth century Puritanism to a contemporary film script. Some episodes have a strong narrative line; others are practically plotless; and some require the reader, like an archaeologist, to piece together an ambiguous story from fragments.
ULVERTON opens in 1650 when a returning veteran of Cromwell's army is murdered by his wife and the man she married while he was away. In 1989, the victim's skeleton is unearthed by a descendant of the murderers constructing a development that will help spoil what remains of old Ulverton. In the ten intervening episodes, we encounter a sin-obsessed clergyman, a farmer obsessed with improving fertilizer while his wife goes insane and he carries on an affair with a servant, an adulterous aristocratic wife, an illiterate mother whose son awaits hanging for supposedly stealing a hat, an elderly carpenter cadging drinks by telling about fooling his workaholic master, a group of rebellious agricultural workers on trial in 1830 for smashing farm machinery, a woman photographer in 1859, a ploughman reminiscing about village life, the excavation of a prehistoric barrow during the...

Valparaiso Survives Overtime Scare From Youngstown State, 86-78
Fresh off the heels of a huge victory over Butler, the Youngstown State Penguins welcomed Valparaiso to town for their second monstrous challenge in three days. Having lost 11 in a row to the Crusaders and Valpo's Homer Drew breathing down Jerry Slocum's neck on the active coaches wins list, the Penguins pushed the Crusaders to overtime, but fell 86-78.
""I am disappointed with 16 turnovers, 12 of them in the second half. There was a four minute stretch that we didn't even take a shot and when you are playing the best teams in the league, we can't afford things like that", remarked Coach Slocum after the loss.
In the first half, Youngstown State jumped out to as large as a 12 point lead and was ahead 38-33 at intermission. Damian Eargle picked up a couple of quick fouls and only logged five minutes on the floor, but the Penguins were not needing many offensive rebounds in the half as they shot 53.8% from the floor and even shot over 85% from the free throw line, a recent sore spot. Kendrick Perry and Ashen Ward had eight points each in the half. Valpo got 11 from Brandon Wood and struggled from the charity stripe shooting 7-18 (38.9%) but stayed in the game thanks in part to an 18-10 rebounding edge.
In the second half, Valpo tied the game for the first time all night at 43 apiece with 15:06 left in the game. Eargle was fouled with 14:17 remaining and hit a pair of free throws to give YSU a 47-46 lead. Perry (above) hit a short runner in the paint with 12:49 left in the game to extend the Penguins lead to 52-47. YSU pushed the lead to 56-49 on a 20-foot Perry jumper on the baseline with 10:45 left. Vytas Sulskis nailed a three from the corner to push the Penguins lead to eight, and the home team smelled another upset brewing.
Valpo took a timeout with 9:01 remaining when DuShawn Brooks received a nice feed from Perry to push the lead back up into double digits at 63-53. However, Wood picked Perry's pocket and went the length of the court for a layup to pull the Crusaders to 63-59 with 8:18 left. Eargle picked up a couple of cheap fouls in the span of a minute giving him four with 7:43 left in the game forcing Coach Slocum to sit the shot-blocking specialist.
With YSU ahead 66-65, Wood hit a three to give the Crusaders a two-point lead. Another Valpo bucket with 4:52 left in the game gave the Crusader their biggest lead of the night at 70-66. Sulskis hit one of two free throws with 2:54 left in the game to bring YSU to within two at 70-68. Dan Boudler was fouled with 1:30 left but could only hit one of two. Valpo had a 70-69 lead with 1:01 left in the game and the ball when Boudler blocked a shot and got YSU the ball back with 38.4 seconds left in the game.
YSU had chances in the last 38 seconds. Perry lost his dribble and fell, but the Penguins managed to tie the ball up to keep possession thanks to the arrow pointing toward the Youngstown State bench. With 11.3 seconds left in the game YSU got Sulskis a 1o-foot baseline jumper that spun around the rim but wouldn't fall. Ryan Broekhoff was fouled and hit one of two to push the lead to 71-69 with 6 seconds left. Kendrick Perry got the inbound, dribbled the length of the floor and hit a 15-footer thanks to a friendly roll to force overtime.
In the extra five minute period, Youngstown State drew first blood when Ward connected on a clutch three to put YSU ahead 74-71 with 3:41 left. Cory Johnson hit a reverse layup to cut the YSU lead to 74-73. Sulskis (above) then drew a blocking foul to go to the line where he hit both charity tosses to increase the Penguin lead to three. Wood was fouled on a drive and got to the line for Valpo where he nailed one of two. Wit YSU ahead 76-74 with half of the overtime gone, Sulskis threw an errant pass and then fouled out trying to draw a charge.
Broekhoff hit a three to give Valpo a brief 78-76 lead and YSU responded with an Eargle basket to tie the game with 1:27 left in the contest. Johnson hit a short range shot off of the glass to put Valpo ahead 80-78. With 50.4 seconds left Broekhoff was fouled but missed both shots. YSU trailed 82-78 with 18 seconds left. Perry fired a three that missed the mark and Eargle picked up a quick foul to stop the clock, his fifth. Wood hit a pair of free throws to put Valpo up six to ice the game.
Youngstown State got 17 points and ten rebounds from Sulskis and 15 points from each Brooks and Perry. With the loss, Youngstown State dipped to 8-15 and 2-10 in the Horizon League.
A disappointed Vytas Sulskis commented on the crushing loss. "They didn't beat us tonight, we beat ourselves with turnovers. We played hard, but we have to get better and not give games away."
Valpo got a great effort from Wood, who finished with 31 big points for the Crusaders who improved to 17-7, and 9-4 in the Horizon League. Broekhoff hit for 11 points and gathered 14 rebounds for the visiting team.
