Canada Bars Winnie Mandela
Along with Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress party, Madikizela-Mandela was prominent in the fight to free the country's black majority from the white minority's apartheid regime.
Canada Bars Winnie Mandela
International News
The ex-wife of former South African president Nelson Mandela has been
barred from entering Canada, stranding her at home in Johannesburg when
she had planned to stand in the spotlight last night at a Toronto gala
for an opera that celebrates her life.
Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, 70, learned Monday that her application for
a temporary resident visa had been denied, just as she was packing her
bags and preparing to fly to Toronto for the event with her daughter.
An event organizer told a steady stream of reporters of
Madikizela-Mandela's disappointment even as performers rehearsed in the
background of the Capitol Event Theatre on Yonge Street. "She's
devastated, we're devastated. She'd gone a week before that to get her
visa and everything was fine," Carole Adriaans of MusicaNoir said.
The MusicaNoir theatre company, which launches The Passion of Winnie
Friday night, was stunned in part because the human rights campaigner
and AIDS activist had been in New York City just three weeks ago to
receive an award for her efforts tackling the medical scourge in her
native country.
Hardy Jimbes, founder and president of the New York-based Save Africa
Concert Foundation, said it was relatively easy to arrange the visit
with U.S. officials. He sent a letter to the embassy in South Africa
with information about the award his organization was bestowing on
Madikizela-Mandela and the temporary visas were processed for the trip,
which lasted from May 18 to 22. "I don't understand why they would
refuse a visa to her," Jimbes told the Star in a telephone interview
after he was informed of Canada's decision. "It's uncalled for."
It appears that Canadian immigration officials were more influenced by
Madikizela-Mandela's criminal record than by her record of good work
and advocacy when they processed her visa application.
Along with Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress party,
Madikizela-Mandela was prominent in the fight to free the country's
black majority from the white minority's apartheid regime. But she has
also been sentenced to prison twice for crimes seemingly separate from
her political struggle.
In 1991, one year after her last public visit to Canada, she was
convicted of kidnapping a 14-year-old boy and being an accessory to his
murder. In 2003, she was convicted of 68 counts of theft and fraud in
connection with a number of bank loan applications in the name of
non-existent individuals she said were in the African National Congress
Women's League.
She pleaded that she was only trying to help poor women, but the judge
discounted her argument, saying: "You are no Robin Hood." Still, she
escaped both convictions without serving jail time.
Canadian officials would not comment directly on the case, but said
anyone with a criminal record is automatically barred from entering
Canada except if they obtain a ministerial permit. There were more than
247,000 temporary residents permitted into Canada in 2005. A member of
the House of Commons immigration committee estimated that between 600
and 1,000 ministerial permits are granted each year. "It's certainly
not immediately apparent why such a visa should be denied," said NDP
Leader Jack Layton.
"Unfortunately, there are far too many visas being denied to
individuals who want to come to this country for a whole series of very
positive and helpful purposes." Many politicians and dignitaries had
already lent their support to the opera honouring her life, which
reportedly received a $20,000 federal grant.
Governor General Michaëlle Jean, Ontario Lieutenant Governor James
Bartleman, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, Toronto Mayor David Miller,
former Ontario premier Bob Rae and Toronto Liberal MP Bill Graham all
sent written declarations of support to be published in the opera's
Prime Minister Stephen Harper declined a request to write a message of
support for the show, Adriaans told the Star. But Secretary of State
for Multiculturalism Jason Kenney sent along his support for a show
that, he wrote, "demonstrates the potential of artistic expression to
enhance cross-cultural understanding and communication."
Graham's message says that Canadians are proud of the "solidarity they
shared with South Africans in the struggle against apartheid.
"Today we remain connected to South Africa through bonds of shared values and a shared view of global interests," he wrote.

Both the Department of Justice (Justice) and Department of the Treasury (Treasury) operate asset forfeiture programs that are designed to prevent and reduce crime through the seizure and forfeiture of assets that represent the proceeds of, or were used to facilitate, federal crimes.[1] GAO reported in September 2012 that participating agencies within Justice and Treasury annually seize millions of dollars in assets from their law enforcement activities. Seized assets include cash and financial instruments, as well as noncash items such as real estate and vehicles.
In fiscal year 2011, the combined value of total assets in these two programs was about $9.4 billion, of which about $6.9 billion and $2.5 billion were assets under Justices and Treasurys management, respectively.[2] Participating agencies of both programs also seize and hold illegal drugs, firearms, and counterfeit items that have no resale value to the government and are typically held by agencies until they are approved for destruction. Each department also maintains a separate forfeiture fund, where proceeds from forfeited assets are deposited. The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 established Justices Assets Forfeiture Fund[3] and the Treasury Forfeiture Fund Act of 1992 established the Treasury Forfeiture Fund[4] In addition, a series of laws have been enacted expanding forfeiture from drug offenses to money laundering, financial crimes, and terrorism-related offenses. These statutes authorize seizure and fund management activities, but do not prohibit coordination or consolidation of asset forfeiture property management activities.
In January 1990, GAO identified both the Justice and Treasury forfeiture programs as high-risk areas due in part to the potential for cost reduction through administrative improvements and consolidation of the programs management and disposition of noncash seized property.[5] In 2003, GAO removed both programs from the high-risk list because Justice and Treasury had (1) made improvements in the management of and accountability for seized and forfeited property, and (2) demonstrated the commitment to communicate and coordinate where joint efforts could help reduce costs and eliminate potentially duplicative activities. For example, Justice and Treasury were moving toward better coordination of property management activities such as sharing website locations for Internet sales, sharing selected vehicle storage and warehouse facilities, and exploring opportunities to jointly contract for services in high-volume areas.
[1]Within the context of the Justice and Treasury asset forfeiture programs, asset forfeiture is the transfer of title in property to the federal government by execution of a legal process that can be administrative, civil judicial, or criminal forfeiture. In a broader context, forfeiture means the involuntary relinquishment of money or property without compensation as a consequence of a breach or nonperformance of some legal obligation or the commission of a crime.
[2]Total assets include cash and noncash assets, net investments, and fund balances.
[3]Pub. L. No. 98-473, tit. II, §§ 310, 2303 (codified as amended at 28 U.S.C. § 524(c)). Monies deposited in the Assets Forfeiture Fund pay for the costs of operating the Justice Forfeiture Program.
[4]Pub. L. No. 102-393, § 638 (codified as amended at 31 U.S.C. § 9703). The Treasury Forfeiture Fund is a successor to what was then the Customs Forfeiture Fund. Monies deposited in the Treasury Forfeiture Fund pay for the costs of operating the Treasury Forfeiture Program.
[5]In determining whether a government program is high risk, GAO considers whether it involves national significance or a management function that is key to performance and accountability. GAO considers whether the risk is an inherent or systemic problem and qualitative factors, such as public health or safety, or whether the risk results in significantly impaired service. In addition, GAO also considers the exposure to loss in monetary or other quantitative terms.
In September 2012, GAO reported that since 2003, Justice and Treasury have taken some steps to explore coordinating forfeiture program efforts, including sharing a website for posting notifications and pursuing a contract for seizure efforts abroad. However, since 2003, Justice and Treasury have made limited progress in sharing storage facilities or contracts, and have not fully explored the possibility of coordinating the management of their assets that could be consolidated to achieve efficiencies, effectiveness, and cost savings. As a result, each department maintains separate information technology (IT) asset tracking systems, separate contracts for the management of real property and personal property, and separate storage facilities.[1]
Justice and Treasury maintain four separate IT asset tracking systemsone for Justice and three for Treasuryto support their respective asset forfeiture programs.[2] GAO found that all systems perform similar functions that are duplicative across federal agencies overseeing asset forfeiture programs. Treasury had intended to use the Justice asset tracking system and participated for 2 years in the design, development, and implementation of the system, but then withdrew to develop its own IT asset tracking system. Treasury officials said their own system was necessary to satisfy federal financial requirements. However, GAOs prior work shows that technology solutions can be used to consolidate IT systems that are common and duplicative, but information is needed to help effectively evaluate consolidation proposals and activities.[3] For example, from 2001 to 2009, the federal payroll consolidation initiative consolidated 26 payroll systems to four shared-service centers.[4] The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) estimated this consolidation would save the federal government $1.1 billion over 10 years. Further, in 1996, GAO reported that Treasury recognized that the Justice IT asset tracking system could be modified to meet the Treasury financial reporting requirements, but believed that developing a new system to meet the requirements was preferable.[5] Justice and Treasury data show that the cost of developing, maintaining, and overseeing their four asset tracking systems in fiscal year 2011 totaled $16.2 million for the Justice asset tracking system and $10.4 million combined for the three Treasury asset tracking systems. While consolidation is beneficial in some situations, it is not in others. For example, consolidation initiatives can be complex, costly, and difficult to achieve. Thus, it is helpful to answer basic questions when considering consolidation.[6] As a result, a case-by-case analysis is necessaryevaluating the goals of the consolidation against the realistic possibility of the extent to which those goals would be achievedto ensure effective stewardship of government resources in a constrained budget environment.
Justice and Treasury have made limited progress in consolidating their contracts for the management of real property and personal property. For example, the U.S. Marshals Service (Marshals)the primary custodian of Justices seized assetsreported using one national contract for the management of real property in all but three Marshals districts in fiscal year 2011.[7] Similarly, Treasury uses one national contract, which includes maintaining and eventually disposing of the real property. Marshals and Treasury use different national contractors for the management of their real property. Additionally, for the management of personal property, Marshals takes a decentralized approach involving multiple contracts, while Treasury uses a centralized approach to manage personal property. In fiscal year 2011, Marshals multiple contracts for the management, storage, and disposal of personal and real property cost about $19 million, while the two nationwide contracts used by Treasuryone for the management of real property and one for the management of personal propertyprovided custodial services either directly or through subcontracts at a cost of about $49 million for fiscal year 2011.[8] Marshals and Treasury have not evaluated the feasibility of consolidating these contracts and do not know if there could be improved effectiveness, efficiency gains, or cost savings realized because of economies of scale.
Justice and Treasury continue to separately store assets seized under their respective programs. Officials from both departments stated that the volume and types of properties seized by the participating agencies of each department vary. However, both departments seize similar assets such as vehicles, vessels, and aircraft, and in some cases, store these assets in the same geographic area. GAOs analysis of contracted asset storage facilitiesfor the storage of vehicles, vessels, and aircraftshowed that about 23 to 40 percent of Marshals and Treasurys contracted facilities for these three categories are within 20 miles or less of one another. For example, 40 percent of Treasury contracted vehicle storage facilities are located 20 miles or less from a Marshals contracted vehicle storage facility. This includes 4 facilities, managed by the same vendor, which Treasury shares with Marshals under separate contracts. GAOs prior work has shown that physical infrastructure consolidations can be achieved between two different departments in order to achieve cost savings.[9] For example, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DOD) Federal Health Care Center began integrating VA and DOD medical care into a joint facility, resulting in savings of $11.2 million during the first two phases of the initiative.
Marshals and Treasury officials stated that they had not considered analyzing consolidation of their separate contracted storage facilities because of (1) the unique security requirements for their stored assets; (2) the variations in the types of assets that may create unique storage needs; (3) the different contracting rules and requirements for each agency; (4) the inability to accurately predict the combined storage needs of both agencies, which affects their ability to contract for these services; and (5) the overall lack of assurance that combining contracts will result in cost savings. However, as these officials said, the departments have not analyzed the similarities or differences in their security requirements, storage needs, or contracting rules. Thus, the extent to which variations in these factors actually hinder consolidation efforts is not known; and, as we have previously reported, agencies have benefited from studying the costs and benefits of consolidation.[10] For example, when VA and DOD were determining whether to consolidate their facilities, they used a cost-benefit analysis to determine that the fully integrated facility would lead to an annual recurring savings of approximately $19.7 million.

[6]In May 2012, we reported on nine key questions to consider when evaluating consolidation proposals. They are (1) what are the goals of the consolidation; (2) what opportunities will be addressed through the consolidation and what problems, if any, will be created; (3) what will be the likely costs and benefits of the consolidation; (4) are sufficiently reliable data available to support a business-case analysis or cost-benefit analysis; (5) how can the up-front costs associated with the consolidation be funded; (6) who are the consolidation stakeholders, and how will they be affected; (7) how have the stakeholders been involved in the decision, and how have their views been considered; (8) do stakeholders understand the rationale for consolidation; and (9) to what extent do plans show that change management practices will be used to implement the consolidation?
[7]There are 94 U.S. Marshals districts. According to Marshals officials, the 3 remaining districts used multiple vendors for the management of real property. Since 2011, Marshals began to decentralize the management of real property and as of January 2013 had three national contracts in place. According to Marshals officials, the agency plans to procure additional regional property management contracts in fiscal year 2013.
[8]According to Marshals, $19 million is the approximate amount paid to vendors between October 1, 2010, and September 30, 2011, that stored, maintained, or disposed of assets over the same period of time. The $19 million does not include salaries of Marshals staff that perform tasks associated with asset management; however, the $49 million for the Treasury contracts includes the cost of contract personnel that perform asset management tasks.
In fiscal year 2011, Justice and Treasury were responsible for separately managing personal and real property valued at about $232 million. The departments use different asset tracking systems and separate contracts for the management of real property and personal property, and maintain separate contracted storage facilities that are frequently within 20 miles of a similar facility. While the agencies have taken some steps to coordinate forfeiture program efforts, the current constrained fiscal environment and the millions of dollars of assets involved underscores the need for the departments to examine how consolidating operations might contribute to cost savings or effectiveness gains. By conducting a study that takes into account the costs, benefits, and key questions to consider when evaluating consolidation proposals, the departments could have critical information to better identify whether increased efficiencies, effectiveness, and cost savings can be realized.
GAO recommended in its September 2012 report that the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury should take the following action:
While the potential for cost savings or efficiency gains in consolidating asset management activities cannot be known until a study is completed, GAOs prior work illustrates that consolidating physical infrastructure or management functions, such as IT services, could lead to cost savings and efficiency gains.
The information contained in this analysis is based on findings from the product in the related GAO product section. To determine the extent to which there may be areas of duplication between the programs, GAO reviewed the asset forfeiture process to determine the different activities undertaken within the programs. GAO focused on the postseizure activities of managing assetsin particular, the use of asset tracking systems and contracted storage facilities. With regard to IT asset tracking systems, GAO reviewed and analyzed technical information, observed a demonstration of each system, and interviewed agency officials responsible for operating each system. With regard to contracted storage facilities, GAO reviewed the total cost of department contracts for the management of real property and personal property. In addition, GAO analyzed data, as of June 2012, on contract vendors used by both Justice and Treasury to manage three categories of seized and forfeited personal property assetsvehicles, vessels, and aircraftand analyzed the addresses of these vendors to determine the geographic proximity of the two agencies facilities. Table 8 in appendix IV lists the programs GAO identified that might have similar or overlapping objectives, provide similar services, or be fragmented across government missions. Overlap and duplication might not necessarily lead to actual duplication, and some degree of overlap and duplication may be justified.
In commenting on the September 2012 report on which this analysis is based, Justice and Treasury both agreed with GAOs recommendation to conduct a study and stated that they will be taking actions to address it. Treasury also noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would need to be consulted as part of the study since DHS owns and operates two of the IT asset tracking systems used in the Treasury program. After the report was issued, Justice and Treasury formally notified Congress that they are actively working together and expect to conduct a joint study to assess the feasibility of consolidation in the areas of asset management and asset tracking systems. Justice and Treasury added that the study will take into account the costs, benefits, and key questions to consider in order to determine whether consolidation could result in increased efficiencies, effectiveness, and cost savings.
GAO provided a draft of this report section to Justice and Treasury for their review and comment. Justice provided technical comments, which were incorporated as appropriate.

How Jim Harbaugh saved dad's program
New Orleans --
He met Willie Taggart in the cafeteria at the quarterback's high school in Bradenton, Fla.
He connected with Mel Mitchell after the future NFL safety had played a high school basketball game in Rockledge, Fla.
And he made his pitch to future NFL running back Rod Smart in the middle of the school day in Lakeland, Fla.
Their reaction to being wooed by Jim Harbaugh, then an NFL quarterback in the prime of his career: Wow.
"I couldn't believe I was being recruited by Jim. All my teammates were taking pictures," Mitchell said.
And their reaction when Harbaugh told the Florida kids he was recruiting for his dad, Jack, the head coach at Western Kentucky: What? Where?
"I'd never heard of Western Kentucky until then," Smart said. "I was like 'Uh, OK.' ... Then I went up there for a visit and, man, it was so cold."
Said Mitchell: "They were able to get guys that probably wouldn't have thought in a million years they would go to Western."
But they did.
Nearly two decades ago, Harbaugh used his name recognition and endless energy to persuade Florida high school players that they should sign with an on-the-brink-of-extinction Division I-AA program in Bowling Green, Ky. In the early '90s, WKU football had been saved by a narrow vote but had lost 13 scholarships, half of its $1 million budget and two of its six full-time coaches.
When assistant coach David Elson arrived in 1996, he was given practice shorts. And a used T-shirt. The Hilltoppers' record the previous season: 2-8.
At the program's nadir, even the uber-upbeat Jack Harbaugh, the originator of the 49ers' who's-got-it-better-than-us rallying cry, was forlorn and defeated.
"I figured my coaching career was pretty much over," Harbaugh said.
Instead, his younger son's coaching career was beginning.
In a move the elder Harbaugh terms "divine intervention," Jim began a seven-year stint as an NCAA-certified unpaid volunteer assistant and began canvassing the talent-rich areas around his offseason home in Orlando for players. He didn't have much to sell, but he did have an unwavering belief in his dad, whom he includes with his college coach, Michigan's Bo Schembechler, as his coaching heroes.
Along with recruiting, Jim regularly attended WKU's spring practice and assisted at camps. During his NFL bye weeks, he addressed the team and stood on the sideline. Elson, who terms the Harbaughs the most loyal family he has met, says Jim was driven by love and devotion to his down-on-his-luck dad. Jack Harbaugh had a 24-39 record at WKU from 1990 through '95.
"Jim knew his dad was a hell of a coach," Elson said. "He just wanted to do everything he could to make it come out and have other people recognize it. He knew it had been a tough go there."
The climb back to respectability included an assist from Jack's elder son, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh, then an assistant at Cincinnati and later Indiana. John had recruiting lists for his school and WKU, and the promising prospects who missed the Division I mark because of talent or test scores were funneled to Jim.
One of those players was Mitchell, who didn't have the grades to sign with a Division I school as a senior at Rockledge High in 1998. A future NFL safety who played four seasons with the Saints and Patriots, Mitchell received a classic example of the Harbaughs' recruitment.
Thanks to Jim's star power, Mitchell considered WKU when they first met after one of his basketball games. The next day, Jack flew to Florida, and the son and father met with Mitchell's family. Mitchell said his connection with Jack convinced him to leave home for Bowling Green.
"I couldn't believe I was getting recruited by Jim," Mitchell said. "And, to this day, I'm so proud of the fact that I got to play for Jack. Anybody that played for Jack would say that."
Said Smart: "It helped that his son was Jim Harbaugh. But after I saw how Jack related to me compared to other coaches, I knew I wanted to play for him."
With Jim opening the door to talent, his father's record steadily rose.
His first recruit - Taggart - was an All-American and four-year starter at quarterback who led the Hilltoppers to a 26-18 record from 1995 through '98. Later, Smart and Mitchell arrived, and the program began a stretch that included four playoff berths in five seasons in Division I-AA, known today as the Football Championship Subdivision.
In 2002, Western Kentucky won the Division I-AA national title to cap Harbaugh's final season as a head coach. Instead of enduring a crushing end to his coaching career, he left as a champion. Jack often has said his son, who recruited 17 players on the national championship team, saved Western Kentucky's program.
"It was a collection of a lot of people," Elson said. "But I think if you really take a step back and say, 'OK, what if Jim hadn't done what he did?' I would say it would have been a heck of a lot more difficult to pull that off. I think that's probably why Jack says it that way.
"Jim was kind of at the peak of his career. He was 'Captain Comeback' for the Colts. He had a name and recognition factor to really help in a lot of different ways."
Years later, of course, Jim Harbaugh is one win removed from his own championship as a head coach.
At a Super Bowl news conference at the 49ers' hotel Monday afternoon, he recalled watching the 2002 Division I-AA national championship while in Oakland, where he began his NFL coaching career as low-level assistant with the Raiders.
That title-game victory wasn't particularly suspenseful: Western Kentucky routed McNeese State 34-14. Through the eyes of a devoted son who knew his dad was one hell of a coach, however, it was an all-time classic.
"It was the best football game that I can ever remember watching on TV," Jim Harbaugh said. "I was just really proud of my dad, and his coaches and his players."

The Initiative
Our Objectives
|The Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center is a team of faculty members in Veterinary Pathobiology and the Exotic Animal section of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at Texas A&M University, dedicated to research and clinical service for exotic and wild birds. The center has been supported by an endowment from the late Mr. Richard Schubot, as well as by research grants and donations. With these resources, our faculty have undertaken a wide range of studies on exotic bird health and conservation.
Much has been accomplished including effective treatments for iron-storage disease; optimization of the diagnosis of avian tuberculosis, avian bornavirus, and avian herpesvirus; and the development of a test that has eliminated an inherited disease in California condors. Members of The Schubot Center staff are leaders in the fields of wild parrot research and conservation, through studies of salt licks, macaw nesting success, wild parrot nutrition, and satellite telemetry at our research site in Peru.
Your Support
|Your contribution to The Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center can help us realize our objective of maintaining and enhancing our leadership in the field of exotic and wild bird health and conservation. Unfortunately, exotic bird health and conservation is not an area that attracts significant levels of extramural grants or federal funding, and the center must compete with many other demands on the resources of the college. Below are some key ways that you could help ensure the continuation and the success of this program.
Opportunities for Giving
Contributing to The Schubot Exotic Bird Health Center at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences makes you a member of the team working to bring the future of veterinary medicine, as well as animal and human health, to Aggieland.

I was lucky enough to get some time to talk with three time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston today. It was quite an honor for a lowly fan like me to have 15 minutes of his time to discuss the Dallas Cowboys. Daryl played for the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-1999. He was the lead blocker for the majority of Emmitt Smith's all time NFL record rushing yards. Daryl currently works for FOX as a color analyst for NFL broadcasts. Any long time fan knows that "Moose" was a fan favorite no matter where the Cowboys were playing.
Daryl talked to me in conjunction with his promotion of Bank of America's Cowboys Banking. The program allows you to personalize your debit Mastercard and provides tons of incentives for Dallas Cowboys fans. Be sure to check it out to thank Daryl for giving his fans some of his time.
Here is the interview posted in question and answer format:
What is your best memory from your games with the Redskins?
"Its kind of a mixed bag for me. My initial neck injury came against the Redskins at FedEx Field and then my career ended against the Redskins at FedEx Field. So, not a lot of good memories for me in the rivalry. We did win the only game of 1989 when we went 1-15 that was a victory over the Redskins at RFK. And then one of the other ones that I really enjoyed was probably my favorite game was the opening game of the 1991 season on Monday Night Football. We had Hank Williams, Jr. down in Texas Stadium to sing the song. It was the first time that Texas Stadium was really electric with the atmosphere inside. Even though we lost the game 31-30 I think that gave us a lot of confidence at the start of the season that we could compete with the better teams in the NFL. We went on to have an 11-5 season that year."
How about the game in 1999 when you guys came back from 21 points down to win the game?
"Yeah, that was a good one. I had forgotten about that one. Yeah 21 points down in the 4th quarter too? That was pretty amazing. It was a situation too because we were really having trouble throwing the football. We actually got back into the game even down 21 by running it. So that was one of the more emotional games we had down the stretch. Things for me were starting to wind down. That's a good game to have in your memory banks at that stage of your career."
When you are calling the Cowboys games for FOX do you ever find yourself having trouble pulling for the Cowboys and having to keep yourself level or do you have yourself pretty well separated at this point where that's not an issue anymore?
"No, its kind of easy for me. I like to see good football. So, if the teams are playing good football it doesn't matter whether its Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, Carolina, San Francisco. I like to watch well executed, well coached football. What is frustrating for me is when you see sloppy play, when a team is out of sync. We've had Dallas on a number of occasions where they have not played well. We had Dallas-St. Louis last year. That was a difficult game to be a part of. They went right down the field on the first series and then didn't do much of anything right the rest of the game. You can't tell the viewer something that's not happening on the broadcast. So if Dallas is not playing well it is just me trying to explain why its not happening or what the other team is doing to take advantage of the fact that they are playing well. And that's about all I can do. They either make my job a little bit easier when they are playing well or a little bit more difficult when they don't play well."
When you aren't calling the games do you still consider yourself part of the team or the organization?
"Part of the family. Part of the Cowboys family. You're not part of the organization. Your not a part of the team. Not from a business sense or from a participation sense but you are always a part of the family. And the Jones family has done a great job of kind of perpetuating that. So you have a lot of great people that you can call part of the family. And a lot of those guys have made the Dallas/Ft. Worth area their home. I get to see Walt Garrison and Roger Staubach and Preston Pearson and Drew Pearson and Randy White and Lee Roy Jordan and all of the guys that came before us. So that's the cool part. You're not part of the organization but you are always part of the family."
What do you think about this year's version of the Dallas Cowboys?
"Lacking consistency right now. I thought that if they would have won the Green Bay game in convincing fashion then all of a sudden now I think that the New Orleans Saints are the team they have to be concerned about. And they are going to play each other down the stretch in the month of December. The loss to Green Bay just brings everything back after that great victory in Philadelphia. I'd seen Philadelphia the week before against the Giants and I really thought that was one of the best performances I had seen all season, personally. I just was so impressed with Dallas going up there the following week and playing as well as they did that the game in Green Bay should have been a lock. Green Bay had lost to Tampa Bay, they had a players only meeting. Those are signs of a team in desperate straits. Dallas should have been able to come out and finish those guys off."
Do you think the team has enough talent to compete for a Super Bowl or do you think there is a talent issue and that is part of the problem?
"No, I don't think there is a talent issue. I really don't. You look at the key components you have to have to be successful. The NFL is a quarterback driven league. They have a quarterback who admits that he has some things that he has to improve on with his game. I think he has been a lot better with his decision making this year. You need big playmakers. They've got Roy Williams, Miles Austin, Jason Witten, Felix Jones, Marion Barber. You need a defensive presence that can get to the quarterback. They have Demarcus Ware. They have Anthony Spencer. Bradie James is good from the inside. They've got some good tackles to hold down that foundation. To me they've got all the components. I don't think there's any lock down corners in the NFL. But when you look at Dallas with Mike Jenkins, Orlando Scandrick and Terence Newman that's a pretty good trio of corners that you throw out there. I don't really see a glaring weakness anywhere with Dallas and that is why the Green Bay game so frustrating."
What do you think they need to do to get over that hump to achieve the consistency that everybody is wanting to see out of them?
"Understand that they have to match the intensity every week of the opponent that they are going to play. It can't just be when it is a division rival on the road. You wonder what their mindset was taking the field that day. Was that game more important to Green Bay then it was to Dallas? Being able to put your emotions in check and live in a week to week and game to game scenario as opposed to thinking hey, we're pretty good we've played well over the last four weeks. That means nothing once that game's over. That means nothing and that is one of the things that fans don't realize. When you play in the NFL you don't get to enjoy your victories very much but the losses tear your heart out. So its a tough business to be around. We were motivated in my era mainly by not wanting to win as much as it was you were trying to avoid that sickening feeling when you lost was our key motivation."
A lot of people believe that Jason Garrett is the head coach in waiting for the Cowboys. You know him better than a lot of people who comment about him. Do you see him as the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys?
"I definitely see him as a head coach in the NFL in the future whether he has that opportunity with Dallas or not I'm not sure. Everything that was done a couple of years ago with his contract you would think that was something that would be possible. He is the highest paid coordinator and Jerry made it very, very easy to make the decision to stay in Dallas. I think it would be a natural progression if there were a change that Jason would be your guy. But what happens if all of a sudden that Dallas is playing very, very well and there is no reason to make that change and there is another opportunity that comes along that Jason Garrett thinks is too good to turn down? When he went to Baltimore, when he visited Atlanta I think that those were probably scenarios that weren't as appealing being in Dallas at that time was. Jason made the comment that he felt that there was unfinished business here with the Cowboys. They haven't done anything comparable to what they did after they had that loss to the Giants in the playoffs that year so I still think you would still hear Jason Garrett say there is unfinished business here with Dallas."
I think maybe Jason Garrett gets a little bit of a bad rap and the Dallas media is notoriously hard on the entire organization when they aren't winning Super Bowls.
"Yeah, they tend to ride that emotional roller coaster quite a bit. The big thing is things weren't as great as they were in their minds after the Philadelphia win and things aren't as bad now after the Green Bay loss. It lies somewhere in between. Players and coaches try to keep it as consistent as they can. Not get too high with the highs and not get too low with the lows. But the media and the fans they swing back and forth on that pendulum all the time."
What are your impressions of the new stadium?
"I think it is fantastic, I really do. The architecture from the outside when you walk up is very cool. I love the big plazas at the ends. The uniqueness of the monitors, the roof, the panels. Jerry did the best of or the biggest at this time on a couple of occasions inside. Once you get in the building the finish out is phenomenal. The Jones family put a lot of thought into that facility and I don't think they left a stone unturned. When you're talking about a three million square foot facility and you can walk through it and see the finish out and the quality that exists on that size of a building it is absolutely incredible. I'm completely blown away by it."

|The French Connection Visits the Conference

Common Knowledge - The Newsletter of the Core Knowledge Foundation - Vol. 20, n° 2, juillet 2007
The French Connection Visits the Conference
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- -- --- --- --- --- --- ---
French educators and regular "Common Knowledge" contributors Francoise and Bernard Appy attended the 2007 National Conference in Washington, D.C. Francoise has written several articles about her views of the current state of French education, to which Core Knowledge has a special connection since the traditional French system was held up as a shining model in The Schools We Need (Hirsch, 1996). Here, Francoise details — with anecdotal help from her husband, Bernard — how her quest to fix French schools has led her (back) to Core Knowledge. As she mentions, Francoise has made new friends and professional contacts thanks to "Common Knowledge." Please visit her at http://appy.ecole.free.fr/
It's a long way to Core Knowledge — it's a long way to you. I could say it another way: it's a long distance to meet people we feel very close to. Close to you, members and teachers of Core Knowledge, because we share the same ideas about Education. And, as you know, ideas have no frontiers.
We came to meet our American counterparts and because of the current state of French schools. We realized that many people were surprised because traditional French schools were one source of inspiration for Core Knowledge.
Ideas have no frontiers — for better or for worse. American progressivism has reached the other side of the Atlantic, and it is still an official creed among our so-called researchers. Thankfully, our Minister of Education is more or less trying to do something: he's officially allowed and recommended phonic reading in grade 1. We, the education resistance, are very pessimistic. Bad politics and bad faith people have spoiled the debate over education.
My husband Bernard, being a good teacher, likes to use comparisons. He has specially written for you two little stories to sum up the situation. The connection between wine and school might surprise you at first, but I think you'll see his point when you finish the second story.
First story
French wines are known all over the world… At the end of the 19th century, a terrible blight of the grapevines ruined all the French vineyards. It was called phylloxera, and it was caused by a special insect known as the worst enemy of the grapevine. It can kill the plant within three years. The epicentre of the blight was situated in Gard department in 1863. Then, it spread to other vineyards all over the country.
In fact, this insect had come from the Eastern United States. It came to Europe due to the imprudence of some French nurserymen. At first, French winemakers felt helpless against the damages caused by the insect. Then, some of them had the idea of going to the United States to get some strong seedlings that would be naturally immunized against phylloxera. However, replacing all French grapevines by American ones would have meant the destruction of all our grape varieties. The solution was to use the American seedlings as stock (for graft). That's what they did. Thereby, our vineyards were healed: we got the remedy from the very source of the disease!
Second story
French schools were famous all over the world... At the end of the 20th century, progressivism ruined our education system. The origin of this catastrophe is constructivism, a philosophy that believes that a child is able — independently — to build his own knowledge. These ideas came to France because of researchers who imported them from the United States. Since 1969, this new phylloxera has been damaging French schools. Pupils don't learn much, teachers are disoriented. The disease touched primary school first, then spread to secondary school. Now, in the universities, you find students are almost illiterate. They can't spell three words out of five.
Different solutions were attempted: get rid of grades, lower the level of assessments, avoid difficult tasks, lighten the curriculum, etc. But the progressive phylloxera was still spreading.
Then, teachers from "The Third Way" had the idea to go to the United States to get a remedy to this catastrophe. They found in Core Knowledge strong solutions and ideas immunized against constructivism, created by E. D. Hirsch.
Of course, we couldn't replace our curriculum with Core Knowledge because of cultural differences between France and the United States. But we can use Core Knowledge philosophy as a stock (for graft) in order to rebuild the French school system... Once again, we must find the remedy in the place where the disease started.
Today phylloxera has disappeared, and all our vineyards have grafted plants. We just wish it could be the same with progressivism in our education system!
Our visit to your conference was very positive. We admire your organization and your results, your confidence, and your adherence to methods and programs that really work. We learned a lot about your education system, which works differently than ours but is touched by similar problems. And Washington, D.C., is such a wonderful place!
I am particularly thankful to E. D. Hirsch. Our "American adventure" started with him when Bernard bought me The Schools We Need. In this book I found familiar ideas, bright analysis, and a very honest and non-polemic way of speaking. All that I knew from my teaching experience was here clearly put together, plus all that I didn't know about your educational system and its history.
After reading this, I understood clearly that progressivism is more than a way of teaching — it is a philosophy of life, and therefore incompatible forever with our philosophy of transmitting knowledge.
Unfortunately, Hirsch's ideas are only known in France by some happy few. That's why Bernard and I decided to use our website to spread them. I had several contacts with members of your Foundation and I felt very welcome. Thank you especially to Linda Bevilacqua, the president, and to Michael Ford, Diana Brewster, and Karen Baggiano, who have all been very helpful and patient. Thanks to your newsletter we developed a special contact with a teacher in New York City who now participates in our Third Way discussion list. And thanks, too, to everyone whom I don't know personally.
What's happened to French schools since 1969 is exactly what happened to your school system earlier. You probably know that many French consider the U.S. as a window for their future. I do hope it's true when I see the success of Core Knowledge.

The Atlas Brace™ was born and fueled from the racers perspective. Designed by a racer and refined over a 3 year period by a team of engineers and bio-mechanical experts, then tested by some of the top professional riders in the world. The end result delivers innovative features, comfort, simplicity and adjustability. Simply put, the Atlas Brace has it all.
Racer Designed, Racer Tested: The Atlas Brace™ was born and fueled from the racers perspective. Designed by a racer and refined over a 3 year period by a team of engineers and bio-mechanical experts, then tested by some of the top professional riders in the world. The end result delivers innovative features, comfort, simplicity and adjustability. Simply put, the Atlas Brace has it all.
Easy on/off: Simply lower the Atlas Brace™ on/off over your head like a helmet... No flimsy clips or fasteners to hassle with, and no disassembly of the brace is required during regular use.
Simplistic flexible design: The Atlas Brace™ is the first non-rigid brace on the market. By creating a simplified design, and allowing the frame to flex upward and downward in the rear, the Atlas brace™ maximizes comfort, minimizes bulk, and reduces the "trapped" feeling that other products can create.
3-Axis adjustability: The Atlas Brace™ is the only brace to offer 3-axis adjustability. Rear mount offsets for length (chest size), and optional shoulder padding for height (neck length) are both adjustable right out of the box. A wide body kit to adjust the width of the brace is sold separately and is designed for users that want a wider stance for the brace on their shoulders, or for those who want an easier fit when putting the brace on over head.
Open frame design: High strength Polycarbonate construction is impact resistant, shatter resistant, produces a vibrant finish, and easily accepts custom graphics. The split frame allows the rear of the Atlas Brace™ to flex upward & downward so the brace moves when you do. Custom polycarbonate construction provides the strength needed to protect, while the split frame limits overall rigidity, adding comfort & mobility.
ERS (Emergency Release System): The ERS provides safe, one of a kind removal of the brace after a severe crash, Performed in 3 simple steps.
Dual pivoting back supports: By incorporating dual back supports into the design, the Atlas Brace™ provides greater surface area spread across the back, while transferring loads around the spine rather than directly into it. Increasing surface area helps disperse loads over a larger part of the body, aiming to reduce pressure points in critical areas of the body.
Open sternum: An open sternum area helps transfer the impact around the sternum on a greater surface area of the body, possibly reducing the risk of a fracture.
Chest suspension: The Atlas Brace™ has unique, flexible, leaf spring design chest supports that allow the chest supports to aid in absorbing and slowing down Hyper-Flexion impacts. This promotes further rotation of the helmet, helping to keep the body in motion rather than the head coming to an abrupt stop on impact. This innovative suspension system can also help to reduce some forces transferred through the helmet, head, and chest by distributing them through the brace.
Pivoting chest and back supports: Dual pivoting chest and back supports self adjust to the body and fold for easy storage. Each brace comes with a drawstring brace bag for storage or transportation, that can easily be personalized with a riders name.
Custom energy absorbing padding: Unique material properties help to disperse energy from an impact before it reaches the body, further reducing smaller injuries such as bruising or muscle fatigue when compared to conventional EVA foams. All padding is water resistant to ensure no added weight, or wet padding during use.
6061-T6 Aluminum hardware: The hardware included on the Atlas Brace™ is fully custom designed, CNC machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum, and anodized to meet the requirements and specifications for this product. All hardware is mounted parallel with specific areas of the body to ensure no bolts are mounted in a way that could puncture the body in a catastrophic crash scenario. Every aspect of the Atlas Brace™ was carefully engineered, that is why simple, cheap hardware from a catalog was not considered as an option.
6061-T6 Aluminum back supports: Each brace comes with 2 sizes of rear mounts, and set in the smallest configuration of the respective size. Switching the mounts on the brace, to the extra size included in the box will adjust the brace to create a larger fit on the body. If your particular size requires fine-tuning, addition sizes are sold separately for further adjustment.
Mounting options: The Atlas Brace™ can be configured in various ways. Some options include:
Available in 3 sizes:
The complete package: Each Atlas Brace™ is packaged complete with 1 additional set of rear mounts, 2 strap systems, 1 draw string brace bag, and user manuals in multiple languages

This is a chart I have been watching for over a month now and it finally triggered one of the buying scenarios.
I expected a break above the $5.47 key resistance in the previous analysis ( http://markettechnicalview.blogspot.ro/2013/01/groupon-analysis.html ) and this happened yesterday on a relatively high volume.
Add to this fact the support offered by the 50 and 100 day moving average which is a plus for the buyers. Those who are looking to buy can buy the small intraday pullbacks or can wait for a clear break of the resistance zone and a retest of it as a support.
The first resistance is in the $6.40 but the target is in the $7.90-$9.00.

The Living Earth Ethical Principles
Editor's Note: In the last issue, Research Associate Erik Assadourian described a new kind of environmental movement-one based in building nonprofit social enterprises and social service providers that teach recipients a new way to relate to the Earth and, from this, a new system of ecological ethics that will help us to live more sustainably. Here he continues with an overview of the system's 10 ethical principles, which will be described in more detail in future issues.
Every day there is more news about floods, fires, hurricanes, acidifying oceans, bleaching coral reefs, drowning polar bears. Scientists and journalists increasingly point to climate change as the root cause. But what's at the root of climate change?
In a word: consumerism. This dominant socioeconomic and cultural system encourages us to define our success, our very happiness, through how much we consume, how much we travel, how rich our diet, how big our house, how fancy our car, and on and on. On a finite planet (particularly with a population of 6.7 billion humans), this system is an impossibility, though one that is hard to resist. Yet deep down, many now grasp that the consumer system is fatally flawed, making people fat and sick, shortening lives, increasing stress and social isolation, and wreaking havoc on the global and local environments.
What we need is a new socioeconomic/cultural system, namely an ecological-ethical-social-entrepreneurial system, where people work decent hours, for decent pay, in jobs that are designed to do good, not exploit people or the planet (like most jobs do today). I described what this system could look like in the last issue. But how do we get there? To start with, we will need an ethical code that can mobilize people to work toward this cultural reboot.

Spitzer explains his return
Disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is making the media rounds on Monday for his just-announced run for New York City comptroller, saying he is enthusiastic about the job in question and doesn't currently have his sights set on higher office.
"The real goal is to win this office and perform as well as I can," he said on MSNBC's "Hardball," when asked whether his real goal is to be mayor. Spitzer added, "I don't worry about what's down the road, I focus on what's right ahead."
Story Continued Below
When pressed, he said, "You know, I'm 54, I have a lot of years left, I don't know where things go."
( PHOTOS: Eliot Spitzer's career)
Earlier Monday, Spitzer — who resigned from his office in 2008 after being linked to a prostitution scandal — said in a radio interview that he believes the public understands and can forgive.
"This is a land of second chances," Spitzer told radio host Bill Press on Monday morning. "I think it is a land of forgiveness, and people in their natural goodness understand the fact that we err, we sin, we pay a price and hopefully continue."
Spitzer said the bid, which he decided to mount this weekend, wasn't just about redemption.
"I don't want to be glib and say no, this has nothing to do with — I think anybody who's been through what I have been through, sure you want redemption. I don't think this is the best way to get it. Because if that's what I want, then I don't think this is the way, the path to it. But what I am seeking is service," Spitzer said on "CBS This Morning" on Monday.
( PHOTOS: Scandal pols: Where are they now?)
Host Norah O'Donnell also asked Spitzer if he simply picked comptroller because it looked like an easy race.
"This is a very tough race. This is going to be an office, if I'm lucky enough to win, where we can do so much," Spitzer said, citing shareholder power, corporate governance, protecting pensions and investing city money. "I want to do to that office what I did to the attorney general's office, re-envision it, reimagine it."
Spitzer, who spent the day seeking signatures for a petition that would allow him to run for the position ahead of a Thursday deadline, described the scene as "mayhem."
"It was mayhem, there was one moment I was down at Union Square gathering some petitions… I was surrounded by more members of the media than I've literally ever seen in one place," he said on MSNBC. He added, "There must have been 150 cameras, reporters. I don't know why they're so interested. There are not many questions I haven't answered in the past couple years. And I didn't say anything terribly exciting or new today. Maybe I shouldn't say that."
( Also on POLITICO: Kathleen Parker: Spitzer 'beguiling')
He told a New York radio station that he wants to return to politics to show the public what he can do.
"Did I regret not being there every day? Absolutely. Do I want to come back to say to the public here's what I can do? You bet," Spitzer told WCBS in New York on Monday morning.
Spitzer also addressed his resignation after a prostitution scandal.
"I resigned because I thought it was the right thing to do. And as I've said, accountability matters, and I had stood for principled accountability as attorney general and hence when my errors were made evident, I said accountability demands of me that I resign, and I did so," Spitzer said on WCBS.

Yannis Sergakis is the descendant of a well-established family of Greek diamond traders. He was drawn into the alluring world of precious stones while still a child, when he spent hours observing his uncles in their showroom.
Soon, Yannis began collecting and trading jewels. Much later, he realized that his true passion was not collecting but creating jewelery. It was not a conventional route, but one that indicates his deep love and appreciation for the fine art of jewelery.
After studying gemology and design at the Gemological Institute of America, Yannis Sergakis worked as a trader alongside his family until 2004, when he set up his own business.
More interested in creating exquisite jewels than signing them, he started collaborating with renowned jewelery houses in Greece and abroad.
Over thirty collections later, with the maturity of a designer who has spent a decade honing his craft and the assertiveness of someone whose sought after pieces sell at the world's most exclusive boutiques, Yannis Sergakis has taken the most important step yet – creating his own signature line.

Artist's description:
Large bold type spray painted with Montana colours on a collage of encyclopaedia pages glued onto heavy stock. Background colours acrylic.
Helvetica is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann. It is a neo-grotesque or realist design, one influenced by the famous 19th century typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk and other German and Swiss designs. Notable features of Helvetica as originally designed include the termination of all strokes on horizontal or vertical lines and unusually tight letter spacing, which give it a dense, compact appearance.

Boston tests post-9/11 confidence
The Boston Marathon bombing left Americans feeling more vulnerable to terrorism than they've felt since the Sept. 11 attacks. And it's left politicians preparing for Americans to ask again what government can and should do to prevent acts of terrorism.
After more than a decade during which Americans came to feel increasingly complacent, President Barack Obama, federal officials and local officials face the same problem, no matter who is ultimately deemed to have planted the bombs: how to convince people that the explosions Monday after a decade of relative quiet are evidence of a system that's working, and not one that fell apart.
Story Continued Below
Americans are shaken, and looking for answers to questions they've gotten used to not even asking.
"Many Americans have come to expect near perfection — and we have almost had it," former National Counterterrorism Center director Michael Leiter said Tuesday. "Boston will undoubtedly remind Americans that we remain vulnerable, even if remarkably less vulnerable than we were in 2001."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama to speak in Boston on Thursday)
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) argued that before Monday Americans had returned to a pre-2001 mentality, and now they're being snapped back.
"With the passage of time … and the vigilant efforts of our military, intelligence and law enforcement professionals, I think it's safe to say that for many, the complacency that prevailed prior to Sept. 11 has actually returned," McConnell declared in Senate floor speech Tuesday.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she expects the marathon bombing to remind Americans that the threat of terrorism has not disappeared.
"Because our intelligence community has been successful in thwarting many plots against our country since the attacks in September 2011, I believe that a lot of Americans have grown more complacent about the threat," Collins said. "This is a horrific reminder that the threat of terrorism is still very real and there are those who are determined to harm innocent Americans using horrific means."
Former House Intelligence Committee member Jane Harman (D-Calif.) said the scale and style of the Boston attacks — using relatively small explosive devices hidden in a crowd— illustrates the impossibility of achieving complete security against terrorists.
"In this case, perfection is not an option. There's no possible way to find every pipe bomb planted by some deranged person at mass events," said Harman, now president of the Woodrow Wilson Center. "There is no such thing as 100 percent security."
However unwise, that expectation of perfect safety had become a staple of American politics in recent years, at least with regard to attacks by the group that carried out the Sept. 11 attacks: Al Qaeda.
To some extent, Obama fueled that notion by repeatedly promising to stop at nothing to prevent terrorism — a vow he made often after Republicans accused him of being weak on terrorism early in his first term.
"We will continue to do everything that we can to keep America safe," he said after the attempted bombing of a Delta airliner in the skies over Detroit in 2009.
Security professionals prefer to talk about risk management, as well as trade-offs involving privacy, security and economic imperatives like keeping airports, ports and borders moving. But Harman said American politicians have had trouble talking in terms that acknowledge some terrorist attacks will succeed.
"If you're an elected official, [complete safety] is a promise you want to make, but it's not a promise you can keep," she said. "The goal is to manage risk, and we have done that extremely well."
Still, if the Boston blasts are ultimately tied to Al Qaeda or a related group overseas, the U.S. intelligence community and the Obama administration will come under immense pressure to explain how the plots were missed.
"It's a very big deal" if the attack is traced to Al Qaeda, Harman said. "If there's clear connection to a known terror group abroad, I think that based on what the president said last night, we will ratchet up the consequences."
( PHOTOS: Boston Marathon explosions)
Leiter said he doubts the attacks were directed by Al Qaeda, but that if they were, they could unleash a round of second-guessing that he and others have warned about for years.
"Any failure … can result in political finger-pointing and excoriation of our counterterrorism professionals," he told the House in testimony earlier this year. "We have become victims of our own success."
"If it does prove to be Al Qaeda, I think there will be greater questions about how and why we appear to have had limited or no warning," the former terrorism official added Tuesday.

With the advent of systems at frequencies above 60 Hz, we've seen increased interest in the rating of cables in these applications. Mainframe computer systems, running at 400 Hz, certainly come to mind here.
There are several factors that significantly influence conductor resistance as the frequency increases. Let's talk about each in detail and provide a suggested method for determining conductor ampacity at 400 Hz as related to that at 60 Hz.
Key factors
In general, you would design 3-phase, 400-Hz power systems the same way as 60-Hz systems, but you must realize that the higher frequency will increase the skin and proximity effects in the conductor. This, in turn, will increase the effective conductor resistance. The increased frequency will also increase circuit reactance, which when combined with resistance, will increase voltage drop.
The higher frequency will also increase the effect of magnetic materials on cable reactance and heating. It's for this very reason you should not run 400-Hz conductors in magnetic conduit or too close to magnetic structures in a building.
The losses due to frequency are proportional to the square of the line current. So for very small currents, these losses may be negligible. For large currents, however, they can be significant.
Cables in air and nonmagnetic conduit
We'll limit our discussion here to single conductor 600V cables. For frequencies up to about 1,000 Hz, you can assume that reactance is directly proportional to frequency. You can neglect the reduction in inductance due to frequencies up to this magnitude, because it's minimal — and the purposely introduced error is negligible. For frequencies higher than 1,000 Hz, however, you should include the inductance correction. In these cases, the inductance is defined by the following equation:
L = ( [0.1404 × log10 2S/DC] + [0.0153 × L/LO] ) × 10-3 Henries per 1,000 ft
L = inductance to neutral
L/LO = correction factor from Table 1 (click here to see Table 1)
S = axial spacing between conductors (in.)
DC = Conductor diameter (in.)
Calculating resistance ratios
From the original Neher McGrath paper titled "The Calculation of Temperature Rise and Load Capability of Cable Systems," we know that for any cable system, the AC/DC resistance ratio of the conductor (RAC/RDC) is expressed by the following equation:
RAC/RDC = 1 + YC + YS + YP (Eq. 1)
Where YC, YS, and YP are the effects due to the conductor, sheath, and conduit, respectively. Because we're considering only nonmetallic sheaths in air or nonmetallic conduit, we have to be concerned only with YC in our discussion.
The Neher McGrath paper also shows that you can express YC as follows:
Where YCS is the conductor component due to skin effect and YCP is the conductor component due to proximity effect.
So taking into consideration the above comments, Equation 1 becomes:
RAC/RDC = 1 + YCS + YCP (Eq. 2)
Both the skin and proximity effects are a function of F(x) which for solid and concentric round conductors is given in Table 1. Thus, for YCS and YCP, we have the following equations:
YCS = F(x) (Eq. 3)
YCP = F(x) K2 × [ (1.18/F(X) + 0.27) + 0.312K2 ] (Eq. 4)
x = 0.0276 × √f/RDC
f = frequency in Hz
RDC = conductor direct current resistance at operating temperature (ohms per 1,000 ft)
DC = conductor diameter (in.)
S = axial spacing between conductors (in.)
F(x) = function of x from Table 1
Table 2 (click here to see Table 2) lists the AC/DC resistance ratios as calculated from Equations 3 and 4. Note: B = f/√RDC and K = DC/S
You can determine the ampacity of a given conductor size at 400 Hz by multiplying the 60-Hz rating by the corresponding derating factor. For the larger sizes, the deratings are on the conservative side in that they are actually based on DC ratings of the conductors. You can consider the small error, on the safe side, as negligible in view of the possible variations in insulation thicknesses, etc.
In addition, the resistance ratios provided here do not include losses in any metal sheath, armor, or conduit. Losses in a thin aluminum armor tape may be small, but those in a metal conduit could be large enough to cause trouble if currents are large.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A future in which unmanned drones are as common in U.S. skies as helicopters and airliners has moved a step closer to reality with a government request for proposals to create six drone test sites around the country.
The Federal Aviation Administration made the request Thursday, kicking off what is anticipated to be an intense competition between states hoping to win one of the sites.
The military has come to rely heavily on drones overseas. Possible users at home include police, power companies wanting to monitor transmission lines, farmers needing to detect which crops need water or even ranchers counting cows.
Privacy advocates worry that a proliferation of drones will lead to a "surveillance society" in which Americans are routinely monitored, tracked, recorded and scrutinized by the authorities.
