Curator Statement
Photo: LeRoy Robbins In 1948 the gay community as we know it did not exist. Homosexual was a word used only to describe those who were considered sick heterosexuals. Yet in that same year, one man had the visionary idea that homosexuals were a "cultural minority" that could be organized to create a community and fight for their human rights. Sixty years later that vision developed into a worldwide civil rights movement and inspired the creation of lesbian, gay and transgender communities on every continent. The man who had that exceptional vision was Harry Hay.
An actor, Communist labor organizer, musicologist, gay theoretician and political activist, Harry Hay left a lasting mark that continues well into the 21st century. He was active in the Los Angeles avant-garde arts movement of the 1930s where he worked as an actor. Hay participated in the San Francisco General Strike of 1934 and fought against Fascism, racism and anti-Semitism in the 1940s. In 1948 he conceived of and helped create the first sustained Gay activist group in America, the Mattachine Society. Throughout the 1950s he conducted research into areas of anthropology, science, history and mythology for evidence of what he termed "my people," the gay community. In the 1970s he worked for and supported Native American struggles and helped to define and bring together the Gay men's spirit group called the Radical Faeries. Hay continued theorizing and organizing his People and supporting social justice for all people right up to his death in 2002.
Photo: Mark Thompson In celebration of the centennial of Harry Hay's birth in April 2012, this exhibition explores the life, ideas and contributions of the man who has rightly been called the "founder of the modern gay movement." Drawing on original papers, ephemera, videos and personal items archived in the Harry Hay Papers, James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center, San Francisco Public Library, the epic story of this compelling and complex civil rights leader is brought to life.
The exhibition follows Harry Hays life from his early years through to the founding of the Mattachine Society and onto his later activism and eventual co-founding of the Radical Faeries. Along the way we look at what were the significant events in his life that formed and enabled him to do what no one else had done before. We explore his relationship with his parents, his precocious intellect and his early acceptance and openness about his homosexuality. The exhibition examines his labor activism and involvement with the Communist Party and its People's Songs movement before moving onto the Mattachine Society period and its aftermath. His work as writer and thinker on Gay Consciousness and identity is examined along with his rediscovery by a younger generation of Gay and Lesbian activists in the 1970s. His longings and desires are explored from his earliest sexual contacts and crushes to his early 1960s meeting with inventor, John Burnside, who became Hay's "loving companion" and life partner for the last 40 years of his life. The exhibition investigates their life and activism together, culminating in their co-founding of the Radical Faeries and ending with Hay's death in 2002.

Calorie and Energy Expenditure Information
Flat Stomach from Elliptical Trainer
Exercise to Develop a Flat Belly
Elliptical Trainer is a very effective way to develop a flat stomach. Because an elliptical trainer burns calories, it helps to create a calorie deficit which forces the body to burn fat - including stomach fat.
Elliptical Trainer Burns Abdominal Fat
About 10 minutes of elliptical trainer burns about 93 calories. In one year, this fitness workout burns a total of 33,945 calories per year - about 9.7 pounds of body fat. A significant proportion of this adipose tissue is likely to be belly fat. In addition, many exercise routines improve abdominal muscle tone in the waistline area (the "six-pack" effect) to give the appearance of a flat stomach.
Belly Fat is Bad for Health
A daily elliptical trainer exercise-plan helps you to develop a flat stomach and improves your health. This is because abdominal fat is linked to higher risk of serious illness.
Elliptical Trainer, Flat Stomach and Diet
In order to develop a flat belly as fast as possible by elliptical trainer, it's important to follow a healthy diet, containing an adequate supply of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Remember: a healthy, well-fed body loses abdominal fat faster.

text: George MacKay was one of the first building blocks in Boston State College's string of successful basketball teams. The forward's career culminated in one of the school's most successful seasons in 1966-67 as the Warriors' became one of the first teams from Boston State to enjoy the national spotlight with its first appearance in the NAIA National Tournament. MacKay netted 21 points to lead the Warriors and was later named an All-Conference forward by the New England State College Athletic Conference. He began that final season as Boston State's captain and finished it as its Most Valuable Player after averaging a career-high 14.1 points to go with 7.6 rebounds per game to rank second on the team in both categories. He finished his career as the school's second all-time leading scorer and rebounder with 971 points and 637 rebounds in 91 games. The 1967 graduate also helped the Warriors to a school-best 23-5 record as a junior for a two-year record of 41-15 in his final two seasons. MacKay's athletic prowess wasn't limited to the basketball court, but was also on display with the outdoor track and field squad. He finished fourth at the 1967 New England Track and Field Championships as a javelin thrower competing against all divisions. Following his athletic playing career, MacKay became an educator and administrator in the Brockton public school system for 38 years. He was the Supervisor of the Teacher Mentoring program, a collaboration with the State Department of Education, Stonehill College and the Brockton public schools. He also spent time coaching the Brockton High School Freshman basketball team for 17 years, including a stint from 1998-2004 that saw his teams compile a 95-3 record. MacKay's charges were not just basketball players, but baseball, soccer and volleyball players also came under his direction at the junior high school level. He currently teaches and coaches at Cardinal Spellman High School.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease. That means it causes inflammation in not just the joints, but also in other parts of your body such as your internal organs. The organ that commonly get most affected by systemic aspect of RA is your heart. In fact, cardiovascular disease contributes to people with RA on average having a lower life expectancy than the rest of the population - it's called the mortality gap. This is the point where most of us want to stick our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening. However, as with so many other aspects of RA, educating yourself can help you manage the risk, even improve your heart health and thereby increase your life expectancy. February is American Heart Month - what better time to pop our heads out of the sand and take a look I spoke to Dr. Lisa Jackson, a cardiologist and expert in prevention from the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor to get more information on this issue.
Know Thyself
Taking care of your heart health starts when you're young. Dr. Jackson stated that "it's never too early" to educate yourself about risk factors, including family history of cardiovascular disease, the impact of diet, physical activity, obesity and so on. There are certain aspects of your health that you can monitor to be aware of changes in your body that may put you at risk. High blood pressure and high cholesterol are both risk factors for cardiovascular events. Dr. Jackson said "all 20-year-olds should know what their numbers are." Knowing your numbers when you are healthy allows you to create a baseline of normal. Later in your life you can compare test results to this baseline to see whether there have been changes in your health.
Dr. Jackson recommends that people with RA's "be especially vigilant regarding traditional risk factors. Diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol increase the risk of heart disease."
In addition to systemic inflammation, one possible reason for the mortality gap might be that people with RA don't receive optimal primary care. This may be because RA takes up so much room that other aspects of your health can fall by the wayside. It's important that you be an advocate for yourself and ask your family doctor to regularly check your blood pressure, your cholesterol, sugar, etc. You should also make sure you know the symptoms of a heart attack and know that these symptoms may be different in women. If you experience these symptoms, call 911 immediately.
Heart Tests and RA
The sooner you start the dialogue with your family doctor about the connection between RA and cardiovascular disease, the better. Most family practitioners are not aware of the intricacies of RA and you can do much to help educate them. This will help make them and you more vigilant about paying attention to this part of your health. Discuss when - or if - to start testing your heart to monitor your cardiovascular health. Generally, doctors try not to test just for the sake of testing to avoid false positives. This is when the tests indicate you have a problem, when in reality you don't. When it comes to cardiovascular tests, this can paralyze you with fear and potentially lead to a lot of unnecessary testing.
What happens if you do have symptoms of something wonky with your heart? Many of us know of the infamous stress test during which you're hooked up to machines while you run on a treadmill. According to Dr. Jackson, the treadmill is usually the "first diagnostic test, but echocardiograms are also used to check for blockages and changes in [heart] walls." Echocardiograms are ultrasounds of your heart that require you to lie on your back and half on your side while a technician move the ultrasound wand across your chest.
If your RA affects your ability to run on a treadmill, there are other options. One common alternative is a dobutamine stress echocardiogram. In this test, a drug called dobutamine is administered through an IV. It speeds up your heart, mimicking the effects of exercise. According to Dr. Jackson, once the echocardiogram is done and the medication is stopped, your heart rate returns to normal. Dr. Jackson also mentioned other alternatives to a treadmill stress test, including angiograms and CT scans, such as coronary calcium. Be aware that recent research indicates that a CT scan exposes you to a very high level of radiation and both the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiolog advise against routine screening involving CT scans.
Managing Heart Disease Risk
One of the most effective tools you have to manage your risk of heart disease is to get your RA treated. Reducing the amount of inflammation in your body will improve your heart health. Studies have shown that the Biologics in particular can cut the risk of heart attack by as much as half and improve outcomes if heart attacks do occur.
Making lifestyle changes can also do much to reduce your risk. Quitting smoking is a huge contributor to making you healthier. Being aware of what you eat is also important. The Western diet with its emphasis on meat and fried foods is notorious for raising heart attack risk. Increasing the amount of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet and adding soy and tofu can do much to cut your risk.
Maintain a healthy weight isn't just good for your joints, but also for your heart. If you're overweight, talk to your family doctor about how best to approach weight loss. A referral to a nutritionist or dietician may be helpful in this process. Our Diet and Exercise site can also help you with tips for losing weight. Keeping the weight off can be a challenge, especially if you take prednisone, but the benefits to your health can be an excellent motivator.
Being physically active also contributes to improving your heart health. This is not as easy as it sounds when you have RA. Pain and fatigue can put a real damper on your ability to just move around, nevermind getting the heart pumping in a good cardio workout. However, keep in mind that any movement is good - check out Cathy's suggestions for exercise at different levels of disease activity.
We have more information on heart disease prevention on our Heart Disease site. You may also want to check out the American Heart Association website.
This is the third post in a series on preventative health care for people living with RA. See the previous posts on Pap tests and mammograms and endoscopy and colonoscopy. I'll be writing about bone density tests in March.

In 1974, when Ella Tambussi Grasso ran for governor of Connecticut, she had not lost an election since she was first voted into the state's General Assembly in 1952. Her winning streak was extended when the people of Connecticut chose her as the nation's first woman to be elected governor in her own right—the capstone of a long and successful career dedicated to public service, effective government and the democratic process.
Ella Tambussi was born in Windsor Locks, the daughter of Italian immigrants. Her father owned a bakery and her mother was a mill worker. A gifted student, she attended St. Mary's School, won a scholarship to the Chaffee School and then attended Mount Holyoke College, where she graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1940, majoring in economics and sociology. Two years later, she earned a Master's degree, also from Mount Holyoke. She later added honorary degrees from Colgate University, University of Hartford, Trinity College and Smith College. In 1942, Ella Tambussi married a school principal, Thomas Grasso; they had two children.
Grasso joined the League of Women Voters in 1942, and one year later began working for the Connecticut Democratic Party as a speechwriter. In 1952, she was elected to the Connecticut General Assembly and served there until 1957, becoming in 1955 the first woman elected Floor Leader. From 1958 to 1970 she served as Connecticut's Secretary of the State, turning the office into a "people's lobby" where ordinary citizens could air grievances or seek advice. During this period, Grasso became the first woman to chair the Democratic State Platform Committee, served as a member of the Platform Drafting Committee for the 1960 Democratic National Convention and served as co-chair of the Resolutions Committees for the 1964 and 1968 Democratic National Conventions. In 1970, she was elected to her first of two terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. While in Congress she served on the Education and Labor Committee and the Veterans' Affairs Committee.
In 1974, Grasso re-entered state politics and, after a hard-fought campaign, was elected governor, defeating Republican Congressman Robert Steele by a margin of more than 200,000 votes. She was re-elected in 1978. In her first inaugural address, she promised a government that would be more responsive to the people, but would keep within the fiscal limits demanded by the times. Looking for ways to economize, she began with herself, returning to the state treasury a $7,000 raise she could not legally refuse. Over the course of her tenure as governor, Grasso's leadership was tested in the face of fiscal problems, state layoffs and budget shortfalls. She endeared herself to her constituents when, during the great Blizzard of 1978, she stayed at the State Armory around the clock, directing emergency operations and making frequent television appearances. Her bold move of closing all roads and businesses in the state by official proclamation allowed emergency workers to perform essential services without worrying about stranded motorists, automobile accidents and other issues and allowed the state to get back up and running again in a few days time.
In 1980, Grasso was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Ill-health led to her resignation in December of that year. She died in Hartford on February 5, 1981.
Admirers had speculated that she could be a future Vice President or Cabinet member, but Grasso's loyalty remained with the state of Connecticut. Considered a liberal, old-style Democratic pro, Grasso was seen as a warm, motherly person who remembered her Italian roots and the needs of the working class. She paved the way for more women in Connecticut politics and set a wonderful example of what a public service-minded individual can accomplish.
Shortly after her death in 1981, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Ronald Reagan. In 1993, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. To honor Governor Grasso's life, The Connecticut Women's Hall of Fame has created programs in her name to encourage civic engagement and public service in Connecticut students. From 2005 to 2009, the CWHF hosted the Ella Grasso Youth Action Conference and, in 2011, inaugurated the Ella T. Grasso Leadership in Action Grant Program.
During This Time
1966 - Today: Struggle for Justice
Feminism in the late 1960s was aided by President Kennedy, who formed the President's Commission on the Status of Women in 1961, and his successor, President Johnson, who backed passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination based on race, sex, national origin, or religion. Difficulties in implementing the law through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) led a group of women in 1966 to create the National Organization for Women (NOW), demanding "action to bring American women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now."
A younger group called for a more radical approach to social change than simply considering what was possible to achieve politically. "Women's liberation" demanded freedom without limitation. Some took part in consciousness-raising groups, others demonstrated against the Miss America pageant, and many discussed their expectations of mutual enjoyment of sex. They established rape crisis centers, domestic shelters, and women's studies programs. Title IX of the federal Education Amendments Act also increased pressure on universities to hire more women faculty and expand the number of female college athletes. Activist protest among gays and lesbians, such as the Stonewall Riot, symbolized this group's potential to resist oppression.
Under pressure, many states repealed legislation prohibiting abortion. In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized its availability to women in Roe v. Wade. Also in 1973, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the ERA, and states began its ratification.
Yet, dissension arose in the ranks of the movement, as it had earlier after passage of the 19th amendment. Feminists disagreed as to whether pornography should be banned or protected as a form of free speech, and whether lesbian identities should be kept secret or disclosed. Black women were more concerned with poverty and welfare in their communities than with personal career advancement; for them, sterilization abuse was more important than abortion, and they were deeply insulted by attacks on the African American family as matriarchal and dysfunctional.
A backlash was growing in the 1970s, along with a New Right in politics. The ERA was defeated and opposition to abortion increased. Conflicts between pro-life and pro-choice candidates have impacted every presidential campaign since then.
Still, gains have been made in many areas. From 1960 to 2000, increasing numbers of women sought entry to higher education, and bachelor's degrees awarded to them increased from forty to sixty percent. Definitions of marriage have changed, as when courts gave full rights and responsibilities and the name of marriage to same-sex civil unions in Connecticut in 2008. The Anita Hill-Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991 highlighted concern about sexual harassment on the job, and the number of sexual harassment cases filed with the EEOC have increased, as have judgments in favor of the women. Finally, in 2009, women crossed the fifty percent threshold and became the majority of the American workforce. Once largely confined to repetitive manual jobs, now they are running organizations that once treated them as second-class citizens.
The Women's Movement has changed women's lives, influenced the economy, and made debate about their roles, family life, and sexual conventions central to national politics and American history.

Collector Ship part 4
Walkthrough - Collector Ship part 4
If you were feeling a boss fight coming (or a "boss-like" fight, anyway), then your feeling will become a reality in this next, wide-open chamber. This battle can be a true pain in the butt, so get ready to restart a few times, because chances are, you'll die at least once. You'll fight a Praetorian here; you fought one earlier in the game, but this guy is far more difficult to fight. Making matters worse, Husks and Collector soldiers will occasionally join it in battle. The Praetorian can rip you to shreds, and when he strikes the ground, he raises a barrier around him that needs to be felled to damage his armor (which is his only health meter). Here's the rub. Begin the battle on top of the ramp leading downward and let the enemy flank you from the left, shooting him all the while (with heavy weapons or other powerful arms). As he comes towards your position, put the support beams in between you and it, which will let you whittle down his damage some more. When he begins to get near you, run down the ramp, deal with the Collector reinforcements down there, and then dart across to the bottom of the ramp on the other side of the room. The L-shaped barrier here is key, and you can spring your attacks on the Praetorian from here for the rest of the battle until he falls. Sound complicated? It is. Be patient and stick with it!
The escape continues from here, but explaining too much more about it would be, at this point, incredibly redundant and unnecessary. You're going to run into three more waves of enemies as you attempt your escape, and all of them can be dealt with fairly easily (the last wave, in fact, is the easiest of all to deal with). The paths are completely linear towards your landing ship, and there's plenty of cover to utilize when battles do erupt. After the second battle, Joker will tell you to get in gear and get to the ship quickly, because the Collectors' weapons are nearly turned on to full power. You don't have to rush however, and with the Husk horde that attacks you thereafter, when you're near the ship, you won't be able to rush anyway. Deal with those easy foes (it's strangely rewarding mowing them down), and then rush towards your ship to finally get out of dodge.
Joker is one of the best pilots in the galaxy, so if anyone is capable of getting you away from the Collectors before they obliterate the Normandy, it's him. As the landing ship nears the Normandy, the entire vessel will begin to escape from this area. Joker barks jump orders to EDI, and EDI jumps out of range just as the Collectors were about to gain the upper hand. When you find yourself automatically back on the Normandy, Shepard will meet with the Illusive Man. The Illusive Man, clearly, cannot be trusted. He knew it was a trap all along, but he didn't want to inform Shepard. The task went off as planned nonetheless, and a lot of information was garnered from that ship. Now, we know all we need to know about, at the very least, the Collectors' home location.
Following the scene with Shepard and the Illusive Man, you'll automatically find Shepard debriefing his crew about what just happened. We only see the latter half of the conversation, so you assume Shepard took the Illusive Man's advice and calmed his team as to the Collector ambush. Following that, Shepard will segue into what they should do next. As EDI will inform the team, data from the Collector craft has placed their homeworld in, of all places, the very center of the galaxy. The center of the galaxy is known to be extremely unstable, rife with black holes and other dangers. EDI suggests that the Omega 4 Mass Relay has a safe zone near the center of the galaxy, though the Collectors must have some serious technology to have that as their base of operations. Either way, we're going to get there soon, but for the time being, be sure to opt to do other stuff when asked. This will let you continue in recruiting the rest of your team, in addition to completing planet surveys, other missions, and all of those side quests you've yet to do.

According to the Telegraph, Cleese was "taken aback by the scale of the divorce claim." No one expects the Spanish Inquisition, eh, John? • You know who else is getting divorced? Star Jones! The former View host filed from allegedly gay hubby Al Reynolds. She told Entertainment Tonight, "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman." [Telegraph,Entertainment Tonight]

Williamsburg, Va. – The UMBC men's tennis team captured three of six singles matches, but the host William & Mary Tribe edged the Retrievers, 4-3, in a match that began Sunday morning in Williamsburg.
The Retrievers got singles victories from sophomores Justin Carter (Randallstown, Md./National Connections Acad.), Melker Svard (Gothenburg, Sweden) and Eliott Loubatie (Paris, France).
Loubatie had a pair of wins as he combined with junior Kamal Patel (Germantown, Md./Seneca Valley) to win at No. 3 doubles, 8-4. Carter and Svard were edged, 8-7, at No. 1 doubles and the Tribe captured the doubles point.
William & Mary took a 2-0 lead with a win at No. 3 singles, but Svard cut the deficit to 2-1 with a prohibitive 6-1, 6-1 victory at the No. 2 position.
The Tribe (14-8) would clinch the match with victories at the Nos. 6 and 5 slots, but that did not stop Carter and Loubatie for fighting for their matches. Carter defeated W&M's No. 1, 6-2, 2-6, (10-8), while No. 4 Loubatie rallied for a 4-6, 6-4, (10-8) triumph.
UMBC (10-8) split its weekend matches, as they went late into the afternoon for a 4-3 triumph over Xavier on Saturday, before travelling to Williamsburg last night.
The Retrievers return home to welcome Georgetown to the UMBC Tennis Complex on Wednesday, April 9.

Has anyone else here heard of Holcombe Waller?
(I wish he had song samples up on his actual site)
I found him ages ago on Pandora (which sadly no longer runs in Canada . . .) and have loved him since the first note of Quite Literally the End of the World. I almost went to Portland specifically to see him play, but chickened out at the last minute.
His music's sweet and sad and sort of dreamy, with poetic lyrics. He might appeal to anyone who likes Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens . . . maybe Elliot Smith.
Holcombe Waller
Recommend albums, songs, bands, etc.

We have major problems with barcode reading on our Apollo 600,
which continue to slow testing and downloading of data between this new tester and PG3 software that only it will run on.
The problems with barcode reading of / . being replaced in the Apollo 600 with underscore _ were never a problem with our PT350 or 300s.
This problem seems to affect only the Apollo 600 with data input manually or Bluetooth Seaward Barcode reader.
Even if correct input of data with keyboard on the Apollo is performed, once downloaded to PG3, the data appears in the download window and we have to edit because it has reverted to underscore _ and would be stored as new equipment tested. The upload of equipment from PG3 to Apollo 600 also causes the Apollo 600 to fail to recognise / or . when barcode reading or manually entering data for retest to commence with recognised test procedures. The full stop is used in both Lab and Office Locations within our department eg: C003.1 is changed to C003_1 within the Apollo 600.
This equipment barcode reading error precludes any automatic retest recognition.
We are very keen to get these problems resolved as soon as possible, because any benefits of going forward with modern Seaward equipment or Software are proving a difficult sell, as it was never a problem with our other Seaward equipment.
Please help!!

Pearl Onion Recipes
Glazed Pearl Onion Crepe Recipe
After watching the "How to Make Crêpe Batter" tutorial, you'll see how fairly basic it is. As I mentioned in the video, I first learned how to make crêpes in kintergarten back in France, and I haven't forgotten since then. After a little practice, you'll be able to adjust the quantities of liquid (milk, alcohol or citrus juice) by eyeballing until the perfect consistency is reached (see video).
You can fill the crêpes with many possible ingredients. This savory version contained pearl onions that I glazed in Marsala wine, brown sugar, butter and truffle balsamic vinegar. It wouldn't be the same without a bit of cheese, so I started with a thin layer of Gruyère and topped the onions with a sprinkle of French feta.
Full Recipe...
Creamy Pearl Onion Gratin (Gratin d'Oignons Perles a la Creme)
Making a gratin d'oignons perlés à la crème requires two steps. First, braise the onions the way you would to cook pearl onion confit, then finish them in the oven as a gratin.
The pearl onion gratin is composed of pearl onions, crème fraîche, thyme, red chili flakes, nutmeg and parmesan. It's a nice accompaniment to poultry. I served it with the roasted pheasant stuffed with sage and Granny Smith apples I made for my 4-course French meal in honor of the movie "Julie and Julia".
One trick to making this dish look great is to use the right serving dish. I especially like these individual serving dishes, which I got from Staub.

Indian-Style Pearl Onion Confit Upside-Down Tart (Tarte Tatin de Petits Oignons Perles a l'Indienne)
The tarte tatin (upside-down tart) was originally made with caramelized apples. It was created by the Tatin sisters at the beginning of the century. The two demoiselles Tatin, Fanny and Caroline, ran a little eatary in a hotel in Sologne, in the countryside of France near Orleans. They were famous for their apple tarts. One day, one of the sisters clumsily forgot to place the puff pastry dough and put the caramelized apple layer first and that's how a fortunate mistake created the trendy dish.
A French way to make an onion confit would be with caramelized onions that were previously boiled in milk but I had some leftover curried pearl onions called do-pyaaza. It's cooked in a generous amount of ghee, yogurt and flavored with ginger-garlic paste and several Indian spices. My fusion result is called a tarte tatin de petits oignons perlés à l'Indienne.

Controversial HOT lanes spread nationally
ATLANTA — Highway lanes that charge cars rising tolls as traffic increases are becoming the future for the USA's clogged urban expressways. A dozen now operate across the nation and another 18 are under development.
The so-called "dynamic pricing" lanes have just come to two of the biggest and most congested metro areas in the USA, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. They join Atlanta, another notoriously congested city, and other metro areas where the roads — many called HOT (high-occupancy toll) lanes because carpoolers ride free — are growing in popularity after a rocky start.
They also are planned or under construction on congested urban corridors from Seattle to El Paso, Dallas, Baltimore and other cities.
MORE: Toll lanes create 'another option' to avoid traffic
Projects such as the ones in Los Angeles and Northern Virginia near Washington, which rolled out last month, likely represent the future of urban tolling in the USA because they allow transportation planners to get more mileage out of the existing highway system, experts say.
"I think they do represent the wave of the future in the 10-15 largest urban areas," says Bob Poole, director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation, a libertarian policy research group.
Some opponents criticize them as "Lexus lanes" — serving the wealthy while leaving others stuck in traffic. Others oppose the lanes because they're on highways that motorists have already paid for with gas taxes and because the lanes are often turned over to private operators. "These public-private partnership deals generally are not in the best interest of motorists," says Steve Carrellas of the National Motorists Association.
These toll lanes offer commuters congestion relief by using technology to adjust pricing constantly. Tolls rise as more people use the lanes and drop as demand falls. Carpools, bus riders and motorcyclists use the lanes for free.
Most new toll projects in heavily traveled urban corridors around the USA employ real-time tolling, says Jim Ely, vice chairman of toll services for HNTB Corp., a national infrastructure firm.
A $105 billion, two-year highway authorization bill signed into law by President Obama in July gives states more flexibility on tolling. "We're going to see more (such) lanes on the interstates as a result of (the funding bill)," Ely says. "It allows them to add more price-managed lanes as long as they don't convert an existing general purpose lane (to tolls)."
The L.A. and Washington projects are gradually gaining popularity with drivers after an initial period of confusion and some resistance. Officials in both places expect more motorists to try the lanes as they become more familiar with them.
Overberg reported from McLean, Va.

Good enoughStill, I carried this out becuase someone chose to have a stirring comment they didnt want to deal with simply deleted.
Yo, I think it is generally believed that Howard is or was at one time or another an all black institution. I still believe that reverse discrimination goes in our society and in fact, showing a few white faces at Howard doesnt prove that it isnt an institutionally ingrained problem that you simply cant get at with statistics. Its a two way street folks. Please dont try to deny that black people carry the capacity to be racially biased.So there are white people at Howard? I didnt know that so I apologize. At any rate, I dont care if there is an all black law school honestly. If there were such a thing for whites though you would probably agree that it would be met with harsher resistance and negative press than if it were the other way.This is actually were I intended things to end with regard to Howard.

Summer of Love Aesthetics Posters
In addition to promoting a counterculture lifestyle and live music shows, some artists of the era used the poster as a form of mass-produced fine art. These posters employ elements frequently found in promotional posters of the era: neon colors of clashing vibrancy, the use of sylphlike female figures, overt references to various forms of spirituality, and a contrast of angular and curved lines. Black light posters mimicked the glowing effects of neon and psychedelic light shows.
The psychedelic aesthetic also drew on the European Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Characteristic of these two art movements are the use of flowing lines based on plant life, a symmetrical segmentation of the image, and distinctive letter forms. Examples of the use of these styles can be seen in Wes Wilson's poster Byrds (below, left). The font employed in this image matches the font used by Alfred Roller, a key player in the Vienna Secessionist movement (an off-shoot of Art Nouveau. An example of one of Roller's posters is shown below on the right.) The San Francisco poster artists adopted these earlier styles to suit their own purposes.

American Horror Story fans, prepare to lose your damned minds. The highly-anticipated crossover season of American Horror Story that will blend Season 1's Murder House with Season 3's Coven is coming sooner than fans expected.
Creator Ryan Murphy tweeted out the news himself on Thursday, with a bit of a fake-out in the message before confirming the crossover will happen THIS YEAR. The news answers two huge questions fans have had about the anthology, namely "Is the crossover really happening?" and "What's the theme for Season 8?"
The Coven/Murder House AHS crossover season won't be happening next year...because it's happening THIS YEAR. AHS #8 WITCHES RULE THIS SEPTEMBER— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) June 14, 2018
The idea of a crossover first broke in 2016, with Murphy saying it would likely be the theme of Season 9. Apparently, the idea was too good to hold off for another year.
American Horror Story: 14 Characters Who Need to Return for theMurder House/CovenCrossover
Season 1's Murder House starred Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott as new homeowners who discovered their house was haunted, while Season 3 focused on witches and introduced Kathy Bates to the franchise. Though those seasons took place in 2011 and 2013, respectively, Murphy has previously stated that Season 8 would be set in the near future, which would still allow several characters from those seasons to make appearances in the crossover. However, we can't be sure that the previously announced details still apply to this season or the crossover was moved up to Season 8, rendering those details moot.
It was previously revealed that Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Bates, Joan Collins, Adina Porter, Cheyenne Jackson, Billy Eichner, Leslie Grossman and Billie Lourd would return for Season 8, but again, we're not sure if that's still the case now that Season 8 is the crossover.
Who do you want to see return?
Look for American Horror Story Season 8 this fall on FX.

USDA has announced a $9.4 million conservation partnership with Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe to restore more than 6,000 acres of hardwood tree forests and wetlands in the Cache River/Bayou Deview watersheds, located in the northeast counties of Monroe, Prairie and Woodruff.
"Establishing native plantings through the Arkansas CREP will provide habitat for wildlife, including threatened and endangered species," said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. "The Arkansas CREP's additional goals of reducing soil erosion, improving water quality and sequestering carbon emphasizes USDA's and Arkansas's commitment to our environment."
The Arkansas Cache River/Bayou Deview Watershed CREP seeks to enroll 6,250 cropland or marginal pastureland acres to significantly restore bottomland hardwood forests and wetlands that wildlife use for breeding, foraging and survival.
The CREP will decrease soil erosion and improve water quality in the watersheds by reducing sediments and nutrients entering streams from agricultural sources.
Soon, local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices and Arkansas will announce the Arkansas CREP sign-up date. Sign-up will continue until enrollment goals are met, or through Dec. 31, 2007, whichever comes first.
Land enrolled in the program will remain under contract for a minimum of 14 years, but no more than 15 years, as specified in the contract.
USDA estimates the Arkansas CREP's total cost over a 15-year period will be $9.4 million, with USDA contributing $7.1 million and Arkansas funding $2.3 million.
USDA will pay participants an annual rental payment. CREP participants will also receive incentive payments as part of the annual rental payment, as applicable, as well as cost-share assistance for installing approved conservation practices. Additionally, Arkansas will use part of its $2.3 million contribution to provide a state tax credit to eligible participants and to pay for technical assistance and administrative staff to coordinate the program.
Arkansas will require a state permanent easement to be secured between the participant and the state on land under a federal contract. The state, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy, will pay participants a one-time up-front incentive payment for the easement.
The permanent easement provision will continue to apply for perpetuity to enrolled acres after the end of the federal portion of the CREP contract.
The easement will ensure that conservation enhancements and forest cover will remain on the land to provide extended environmental and wildlife benefits. The easement allows forest management practices, such as thinning, to be conducted. Hunting and fishing are also approved practices under the easement.
CREP is a federal-state cooperative conservation program that addresses targeted agricultural-related environmental concerns. CREP is part of FSA's Conservation Reserve Program, America's largest private-lands conservation program, with more than 36 million acres enrolled.
Through CRP and CREP, farmers and ranchers plant primarily grass and trees. Many practices are installed adjacent to rivers and streams. The practices help to prevent soil, fertilizer and animal waste from reaching these waters. The practices also provide enhanced wildlife habitat and can be used to restore wetlands on cropland.

New business model, assessment tools for valuing nature
New business model, assessment tools for valuing nature
Over the past few years, Conservation International (CI) has had the good fortune to work with — and ultimately bring onto our board — natural capital thought leader Pavan Sukhdev. Our relationship with Pavan initially centered around his efforts as lead author on "The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)" study, but has quickly developed into much more.
For those of you not familiar with TEEB, I would describe it as the Rosetta Stone for natural capital — the key to understanding the benefits and services that biodiversity and ecosystems provide to people. TEEB is a tool that finally has enabled the environmental and the financial communities to start speaking the same language about how to value nature — an increasingly important issue that stands to affect every person on this planet.
CI was so inspired by the findings of the initial TEEB report that we began working with the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre and PricewaterhouseCoopers on what ultimately became "TEEB for Business Brazil," which, like the earlier reports, examines the reliance of key sectors on natural capital with the aim of establishing monetary values for the public goods used in these sectors. With Brazil on the fast track to massive development, a tool like the TEEB report is invaluable to the country's national and local governments and the companies they engage.
In his recently released book, "Corporation 2020," Sukhdev takes his efforts a step further by calling on companies to end the 20th century "profit maximization at the cost of everything else" approach, and instead consider how they can measure and value the natural and societal contributions that have enabled them to thrive.
To change what we value, we need to change what we measure. This is essentially the mantra to get us to this new way of thinking. Historically, companies have not measured the costs of public or "'free" goods to their businesses. Benefits such as pollination, clean water supplies, healthy soils and other natural resources all have been provided at little or no cost.
One of the key points of "Corporation 2020," however, is that the benefits that nature provides are far from free, and by not considering these externalities, the global corporate community is headed down an unsustainable path. Sukhdev effectively argues that businesses must measure and value those "free" services; otherwise, they will not survive. This is also one of the reasons CI has joined the TEEB for Business Coalition. Led by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales, the aim of the coalition is to build into accounting standards the value of these externalities.
Recently, someone asked me why the environmental community is focusing so much on quantifying these "ecosystem services." Isn't knowing what you are using and then improving management of these resources sufficient? Why are we calculating the actual financial value for a cubic meter of water or the value of a mangrove for flood control?
Quite simply, the answer is that voluntary action by well-meaning companies alone is insufficient. No matter how strong the corporate social responsibility (CSR) ethos is within a company, the CFO will always have the stronger voice. When we can quantify the value of nature's contributions and the associated costs of using (and losing) them, the will to act will no longer be voluntary. What once was CSR becomes embedded in a company's DNA.
But this is a long journey, and there are incremental steps that can be taken before we get to full valuation of ecosystem services. For example, the NGO community, working with key stakeholders, has begun to develop tools and approaches that can help advance the global push toward calculating the value of nature.
One such tool is the Vital Signs Monitoring System. Launched earlier this year by CI and our partners, it collects near real-time ecological and social data to guide agricultural development decisions in Africa and monitor their outcomes. Vital Signs is addressing a critical yet unmet need for integrated, holistic measurements of agriculture, ecosystem services and human well-being — and contributing to the effort of providing a dollar value on nature's assets.
On the marine front, the recently launched Ocean Health Index represents the first comprehensive global measurement of ocean health, scientifically aggregating all dimensions of ocean health — biological, physical, economic and social — in order to generate an objective and accurate snapshot of the health of the ocean controlled by every coastal country.
Given the enormity of the issues facing the health of our planet, all sectors must do what they can to measure the value of natural assets that were once taken for granted. Sukhdev's new book — and the ingenuity that has emerged from the NGO sector — offer a hopeful view of not only the business model, but for sustainable development in the not-too-distant-future.

Kansas City, Chicago among cities facing winter's fury
The second blizzard in a week is aiming for the Plains states, with up to a foot of snow forecast for parts of Kansas and Oklahoma by Monday. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback says this storm could be worse than last week's. (Feb. 25) AP
The storm is bringing havoc to an area barely dug out from last week's blizzard.
The second winter storm in a week, this one featuring heavy, wet snow and driving winds, pounded parts of the Midwest on Tuesday, closing schools, snarling transportation and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses.
The storm was ripping through Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma early Tuesday, with eight inches on the ground in some places and more on the way. More than 80,000 homes and businesses were without power.
"This storm will have a huge impact, with additional heavy snows likely over portions of eastern Kansas and northern Missouri which received very heavy snowfall amounts last week," weather service meteorologist Robert Oravec wrote in an online bulletin.
Chicago was forecast to see up to six inches of ice and snow by Tuesday night. Detroit and Milwaukee were among other major cities in the storm's immediate path.
Airlines have canceled more than 1,900 flights during the past 72 hours and were waiving fees for passengers scrambling to make connections through the storm's path. FlightStats reported 345 cancellations at Chicago O'Hare and 117 at Kansas City alone.
The storm already was being blamed for two deaths -- in northwest Kansas, a 21-year-old man's SUV hit an icy patch on Interstate 70 and overturned. And in the northwest town of Woodward, Okla., heavy snow caused a roof to collapse, killing one inside the home.
The storm will continue to dump snow across the Lower Great Lakes region Tuesday night and into northern New York State and northern New England on Wednesday, Oravec says.
The storm forced road closures in Texas on Monday. Paul Braun, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, said whiteout conditions and drifting snow had made all roads in the Texas Panhandle impassable. Interstate 40 was closed from Amarillo to the Oklahoma state line Monday.
Amarillo, Texas, saw about 20 inches of snow Monday. Along with the snow, a weather station in Pantex, Texas, reported a wind gust Monday morning of 77 mph. A wind gust of 84 mph was reported near El Paso, well south of the snowstorm.
In the drought-stricken Plains, thirsting for moisture, the storm could help replenish the groundwater. Climatologists say 12 inches of snow is equivalent to about 1 inch of rain, depending on the density of the snow.
"Is it a drought buster? Absolutely not," Victor Murphy with the weather service in Fort Worth, Texas, said. "Will it bring short-term improvement? Yes."

Congratulations everyone – Kiva Team FSM reached One Million in loans today. Huge thanks to everyone who joined our team.
Congratulations everyone – Kiva Team FSM reached One Million in loans today. Huge thanks to everyone who joined our team.
Congratulations for the success of KIVA. Glory be the the mighty FSM for making your goals successful. It cannot be a coincidence that on the day when FSM blessed KIVA to fulfill its goals, another person felt touched by his noodlyness and was inspired to come up with the Pastabad Gita, the song of the Pastafaris. Now all it needs is the blessings of the Prophet Bobby Henderson. His Noodlyness gave me these revelations so that Pastafaris can also have grand pronouncements to throw at the falsely religious, like they do with their holy texts. The text describes in poetic form the creation of the world by the FSM and is a guide on how people should spend their lives.
Congratulations for the success of KIVA.
"You know what would have been a smart thing to do in these developing countries that need electricity? To have tried large scale experiments with alternative energy sources: solar, wind, geothermal, etc. We could have tested and tried to perfect these technologies on a large scale in places that need it. That would have been smart. That's why we didn't do it. ".
George Carlin said that. If he was here maybe would join Kiva and sponsor an initiative matching this criteria. He isn't here though, others are. Just a thought.
It's sad that people are willing to donate this kind of money and effort in a mockary when there are people around the world suffering from hungry and poverty that only ask for pennies a day. It's very upsetting that people have lost compassion for what truely matters.
Who says that we don't donate to charities for the less fortunate? The only way you could find out is if you were some omniscient being, which I doubt you are.
That's not mockAry. This is mockAry. People die from hunger, not hungry. I tell you TRULY.
Michelle, you are an IDIOT to call this a "mockary".
Unless you don't know what Kiva is. Then you are simply IGNORANT.
"Truely", you are STUPID.
It says the car emblem is 9.95 but when you go to it, it says it is 19.99 – is this a typo? I'd like to purchase one for 9.95

There Is No Online Rental Business/
As I write this The Weinstein Company's top rental on YouTube is Michael Moore's SICKO, with a whopping 151 views. In reading PaidContent's article on the TWC/YTube alliance, you can't help wonder if there IS any business to be had in online rentals. Is the online one-off transactional content-rental business completely non-existent? And if so why?
I think we are starting to move away from the impulse buy mentality. It just doesn't fit with the world we are living in. Even with the convenience of online rentals, there is not enough value in it. If we are going to offer films in a single transaction, we need to offer more than the film.
My netflix queue, or rather my family's queue, is almost 2500 strong, including the WatchInstantly. I know what I want. I know what it is on the queue. I also have at To Watch list at home that is close to 500 titles. I recognize that those that don't try to earn a living in the film biz may not have such a robust list, but who in their right mind would rent a film that might be mediocre, when for twice the rental amount they can have unlimited streaming for the month.
A world of surplus and access require a different business model from one of scarcity and control. Single transactions -- without a richer context -- are an old world model.
If we build a social world around that film, it may be enough to jump me from my already planned choices of viewing. If we build a ramp of consistent discovery to that film, it may divert me from what I already scheduled. If you offer me additional rewards for my viewing, I may opt in. But if you ask me to fork over my hard-earned cash, all you give me is a film, particularly if it is not guaranteed to be great, and you ask me to watch it all alone, I will go elsewhere. And evidently everyone else is too. Well, everyone other than those 151.
Addendum: The failure of TWC titles to gain traction on YouTube has caused much reflection. What other factors contributed to the dismal performance? Scilla Andreen blogged the other day that the fit between content and platform was off. What else?
Addendum 2/10/11: LA Times reported a few days ago that downloads in US are up 40% to $385M/yr.

I also set up this temporary desk near the window. I have a bad habit of spreading my belongings all over our dining table so in attempt to keep it clear I set up this little desk just for myself. We live in a small unit so space is scarce - I used the deck of an old wooden trunk as a desk top and I'm temporarily resting it (steadily) on a small cabinet. I'm so excited to have my bits and pieces neatly organised in the cabinet and on the wire tray next to the desk. I have my little mood board set up too and I'm looking forward to filling the frame with some inspirational colours and patterns.
Happy weekend!

About sabacat
Are you sure this isn't just some big social experiment like rats running through a great big maze to get to the cheese... but there's bigger and better cheese at home and the smarter rats know that? Because really, why would anyone actually leave their house, go to the mall, and jump through all their ridiculous hoops, just to order a DVD ~online~... which they could have done without ever leaving home in the first place. Yes, they're taking notes... those who order from The Wall will get left behind when the Aliens come in December.
Really? What about the "shots" they called on Syria?
But I thought we were supposed to recycle? Where's all the used stuff supposed to go now? Is THIS is their idea of creating new jobs? Make people always buy new stuff? What's next? Gotta build up the Auto industry, so no used cars? Or no private sales of used cars, only certified dealers.
Very true. Basically, when we're finished with something and we want to get rid of it, we won't be able to freely put it on eBay or Amazon, we'll just have to throw it away, unless, we pay off the Cartel who are extorting money like a bunch of mob bosses. That's going to get really messy and NOT be very green. Personally, I'll shred my books for kitty litter and burn the other stuff as I dance naked around the fire chanting for their eternal damnation before I contribute anymore to their evil greed.
Yeah, but will those other countries stand up to the US? I can't see it. I thought the whole reason they cut the EU out of this one is because the EU can be kind of ~quirky~ about things... kind of like what's going on with ACTA right now.
Who needs a lame-duck senate... Obama doesn't! He'll just twist it around, decide it's another "executive agreement" and make it a one-man decision, sign it, and be done with it... all a'la ACTA.
Lamar Smith is like Pink's crazed psycho mamma in The Wall. - Irrelevant I know, but every time I see that nutjob's name I think of that.
I also believe that the sleeping giant of ordinary internet users will be woken by something that effects them directly.

Bachmann: Name Cold Spring Post Office for Officer Tom Decker [VIDEO]
ST. CLOUD (AP) - A congressional effort is under way to rename the Cold Spring post office in honor of slain police officer Tom Decker.
Rep. Michele Bachmann says she'll push to formally rename the U.S. post office the "Officer Tommy Decker Memorial Post Office." A spokesman for the Republican says the bill will be cosponsored by every member of the state's congressional delegation.
Decker was killed on duty while responding to call in November. The investigation into his death remains active and there is no suspect in custody.
Bachmann took to the House floor on Tuesday to speak about Decker, calling his life an "example of courage and unparalleled compassion."

COLUMBUS, Ohio — When John Kasich is sworn in as Ohio's 69th governor on Jan. 10, he will be surrounded by family and friends, his running mate Mary Taylor, and other public officials.
But the governor-elect will not allow a reporter or news photographer to document the moment in state history. He is also limiting reporters' access to inaugural events billed as public events, citing security issues and the need to accommodate many "stakeholder" groups.
Kasich's decision to bar reporters from his official, private swearing-in -- which takes place just moments after midnight and is made necessary by the Ohio Constitution -- is the first time an incoming governor has done so in recent memory.
Kasich's inauguration and transition committee, a New Day, which boasts about the state's inaugural traditions on its website, will photograph the official swearing-in and distribute photos afterward to reporters. The event, which will take place at Kasich's home in Westerville, Ohio, precedes a ceremonial public swearing-in later that day.
Related stories
The Ohio Associated Press has covered the official swearing-in ceremony for at least 25 years, noting the guest list, the type of Bible used, speeches and other utterances made.
Kasich kicks off four days of inaugural events Friday at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The Rock Hall party is free and open to anyone who secures tickets through the New Day website. Reporters, however, will be escorted into the event immediately before Kasich and Taylor make scripted remarks and must leave after the speeches. Though Kasich's inaugural committee is seeking coverage of the event, including its music and celebratory mood, reporters will not be allowed to talk to guests at the Rock Hall.
Kasich spokesman Scott Milburn said the governor-elect is being "as open as possible" by, among other things, allowing reporters to cover the formal portion of Rock Hall and other events.
Since being elected, Kasich has voiced his frustrations with media requests for information about his Cabinet members and with Ohio's transparency laws.
At a news conference naming Ohio Inspector General Tom Charles to director of public safety, Kasich complained about questions about whether Charles' appointment poses a possible conflict of interest since his wife and son work for the State Highway Patrol.
"I find myself tripping over the ant hills on the way to the pyramids," Kasich said. "We have so many stupid rules and regulations that prevent us from getting the best people to come in here. You just can't believe it. And I blame it on all of you," Kasich told reporters. "All the transparency and conflicts and other stuff. I want to just tell you, it is a problem to get quality people to come and work in the government."
Reporters will be given access only to formal remarks at a $500-a-ticket reception for Kasich's wife, Karen Waldbillig Kasich, on Saturday at the Columbus Museum of Art. The event is open to the public and the proceeds benefit charity. The same goes for the official inaugural ball Monday night at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The event is open to the public and individual tickets cost $150.
Kasich is allowing reporters to cover his public swearing-in ceremony at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus on Monday afternoon. The inaugural committee initially said the location's space can accommodate only one news photographer, but later decided to make space for The Plain Dealer and other news outlets.
The only event that comes with no strings is Kasich's Family Day at the Ohio Statehouse on Saturday.
Kasich will allow just a single reporter to cover the swearing-in of his Cabinet and the signing of executive orders Monday afternoon. The event takes place in the relatively small State Room at the Capitol, which makes it difficult to fit a large gaggle of reporters. But limiting the press pool to such events also insulates officials from a volley of questions.
Kasich's rules surrounding the inaugural events are not only more restrictive than his Ohio predecessors -- at least going back to the Democratic administration of Gov. Dick Celeste in the 1980s -- they are stricter than the Republican governors of neighboring Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Ryan Kazmirzack, a spokesman for Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, who took office on New Year's Day, said reporters were free to roam the gala and interview guests. He said that Snyder even opened a private reception he hosted with new lawmakers.
Tom Corbett will be sworn in as the 46th governor of Pennsylvania Jan, 18. His inauguration website requires reporters to apply for credentials but doesn't note any specific limitations on coverage.
The Ohio Legislative Correspondents Association, which includes reporters from the state's newspapers who cover the Statehouse and inaugural activities, isn't pleased by the restrictions but has not issued any formal protests to the Kasich committee.
The association's newly elected president, Jim Siegel of the Columbus Dispatch, said the association "believes that events connected to the inauguration of our next governor should be fully open to the press, so the public can get a complete accounting of activities.
"We have not heard satisfactory reasons as to why some events have restricted press access," he said.

As one of the most dynamic professions, nursing is a natural vocation for people in a church committed to communicating Christ through caring ministries. Both in North America and around the world, nursing gives form to a theology of discipleship. Nursing is a humanistic and scientific discipline which focuses on caring behaviors and skills in assisting individuals, families, and communities to attain and maintain a health status congruent with their cultural values and life patterns, and their physiological, psychosocial, and spiritual needs. "Humanistic" refers to attributes which denote a person's abilities to express compassion, empathy, respect, and reverence for life. The scope of nursing practice involves the nursing process, observation and counseling, use of resources, managing ancillary staff, peer review and setting standards, professional growth, and research. The nursing process includes assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention, and evaluation. Nursing diagnosis is the description of a condition or problem which the nurse is able and licensed to treat.
There has been a slow increase in the number of men and non-white nurses. Initially Mennonite nurses were educated in diploma (hospital) schools. With the national goal of having two levels of entry into nursing from degree programs, and the development of one Associate Degree (AD) and five Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in Mennonite institutions (nursing education), more Mennonite nurses have collegiate degrees. The number of Mennonite nurses with master's and doctoral degrees is increasing.
Many Mennonite nurses are employed in hospitals, but increasing numbers are employed in community health settings, schools, clinics, and in nursing education. Mennonite nurses tend to he at home or be employed part-time during childrearing years, and then return to employment in nursing. Many Mennonite nurses are involved in church service including missions, Mennonite Central Committee, voluntary service, Mennonite institutions, teaching, and local congregations.
Mennonite Nurses' Association (MNA) was formed in 1942. It is a national organization promoting and supporting Christian nursing in North America and other countries. Along with the Mennonite Medical Association, MNA publishes "The Christian Nurse" in the Mennonite Medical Messenger (ceased publication in 1998).

Jolla Smartphone Pictures
The specs of the Jolla Smartphone include a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon clocked at 1.4GHz, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of microSD-expandable storage. Along comes a rear 8MP Auto-Focus camera with an LED flash, and a 2MP snapper taking the front. The handset is powered by the aforementioned Sailfish OS, which Jolla promises will feature compatibility with Android apps, and a 2100mAh user-replaceable cell. Last, but not least, the display is a rather underwhelming 4.5-inch qHD panel, meaning a resolution of 960x540.
