"The Iron of Courage: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf"
Federal Room, IMU
May 2, 2008
Toast (Before Dinner)
I am delighted to welcome you all to this evening of celebration in honor of our distinguished guest President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. We will have more formal remarks a little later in the evening.
Now would you please join me in raising your glasses to the long and productive partnership that Indiana University has enjoyed with our friends and colleagues in Liberia.
Tonight we extend that strong friendship as we recognize the strong leadership and character of a tireless crusader for freedom and equality: to President Sirleaf.
Please enjoy your meal.
Welcome and Acknowledgments
Again, thank you all for coming this evening. We are pleased that several particularly distinguished guests could join us this evening.
I am pleased to welcome Robert Sirleaf, President Sirleaf's son; Liberian Ambassador Charles A. Minor and his wife Comfort; and our commencement speaker Will Shortz.
Liberia and Indiana University: A Lasting Partnership
In the 1930s, ethnomusicologist George Herzog, who eventually joined the IU faculty, traveled to the Grebo region on Liberia's coast. There he made cylinder recordings of music and drum language. Today, those cylinders are housed in IU's highly regarded Archives of Traditional Music, founded by Dr. Herzog. They have provided vital data for researchers and students alike over the course of many years.
Those cylinders represent far more than data, however. They link researchers at Indiana University to the rich culture and heritage of Liberia.
This link can also be found in the work of J. Gus Liebenow, a pioneer in his studies of Liberia and founder of IU's African Studies Program. This link can be found in IU faculty member Dr. Amos Sawyer, who served as interim president of Liberia from 1990 to 1994. This link can be found in our institutional partnerships to help rebuild the country's legal education system, guide constitutional reform, and assist with other reform programs. This link can be found in IU's extensive archive of Liberian materials, the largest such collection outside of Liberia.
Honoring President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Tonight we renew and strengthen our partnership with Liberia as we honor President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who will be receiving an honorary doctorate at tomorrow's commencement.
To say that President Sirleaf has accomplished great things is a vast understatement. She is a Harvard-educated economist, who has worked for the World Bank. She was the first woman to lead the United Nations Development Projects for Africa. And she is the first woman elected president of an African nation.
In short, she is an inspiration.
The Iron of Courage
Shortly after she was inaugurated in January 2006, President Sirleaf addressed the U.S. Congress.
She said, "I was not born with the expectation of a University education from Harvard or being a World Bank officer or an Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations." 1 She claims that nobody would have imagined her as the country's future president when she was a young girl growing up in Liberia.
Later, when she attended university in the United States, she waited tables to support her studies. We might guess that nobody in those restaurants imagined their waitress would be the future president of Liberia either.
Upon her return to Liberia, she became the country's first female Minister of Finance. Her political activism has brought her imprisonment and exile, but neither has deterred her from speaking out in the interest of equality, justice and governmental reform.
The challenges President Sirleaf has faced have been unimaginable, earning her the title "Iron Lady." Indeed our guest of honor has been a woman of iron courage on so many levels. In presenting President Sirleaf with the Medal of Freedom in 2007, President Bush praised her actions in the face of a violent coup that plunged Liberia into civil war. She never wavered, he said. "Ellen Johnson Sirleaf stood up for the rights of her fellow citizens. . . . even though the consequences were house arrest, foreign exile, death threats and imprisonment" 2
Political leaders who bring about profound change must also be forged in iron so that their courage can be an inspiration to their people. This is the courage President Sirleaf shares with the people of Liberia. In her address to Congress, she explained, "Our people's courage and patience are formidable, but their expectations are high."
President Sirleaf is meeting those high expectations as she undertakes the arduous work of rebuilding her country.
In presenting President Sirleaf with an honorary degree, we recognize her tremendous contributions to justice, equality, and human rights. We also recognize the people of Liberia, their culture and heritage, and their courage and strength. It gives me great pleasure, and is a true honor, to introduce Her Excellency President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Montana Audubon works at the local, state and national policy levels to protect our natural heritage.
Nominations are now being accepted for Montana Audubon's 2019 conservation awards. Consider nominating someone for Conservationist of the Year, Environmental Educator of the Year, Citizen Scientist of the Year, or a Lifetime Achievement award.
The deadline for nominations is May 20, 2018. Please submit via email to [email protected] or by mail to Montana Audubon, PO Box 595, Helena, MT 59624.
Award winners will be announced at our Bird Festival banquet in Glasgow on June 8.
Lewis Young ~ Lifetime Achievement Award
This year, Montana Audubon recognized an individual who has given a great deal of time, energy and hard work to Audubon and conservation in Northwestern Montana for our Lifetime Achievement Award: Lewis Young. We recognized Lewis for:
His professional contributions to conservation by:
His years of active service to Flathead Audubon, including as:
And for his long-term active service to other wildlife by his:
We applaud Lewis for his commitment to Audubon and bird (and bat) conservation—as well as his work and contributions to the state of Montana.
Denny Olson- Educator of the Year
This year Montana Audubon presented Denny Olson with our Educator of the Year Award. Denny has been teaching about nature and conservation for 46 years. He has authored 5 natural history books, and trained thousands of naturalists, teachers, and students in storytelling techniques.
This award celebrates Denny's many education accomplishments, including:
Denny has forged an unlikely union between science, humor, and drama—and established a reputation as an innovative performer and conservation educator. Flathead Audubon—and the Kalispell area—are lucky to have such a dedicated educator in their midst.
Dan Bennett ~ Conservationist of the Year Award
This year, Montana Audubon and Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon recognized Dan Bennett for his commitment to conservation with our 2018 Conservationist of the Year Award.
As examples of Dan's dedication, he has:
It's probably impossible to estimate the number of hours that Dan has provided to Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon.
We appreciate Dan's work, and thank him for his tireless efforts and commitment to Audubon, birds, natural resource conservation, and the state of Montana!
Steve Gniadek ~ Citizen Scientist of the Year Award
Birds are the heart of Montana Audubon. This year we would like to recognize a professional scientist who is now turning into a volunteer "citizen scientist" in his retirement. He has contributed significantly to our understanding of birds—and many other wildlife species—particularly in the Glacier National Park Area, where he worked between 1987 and 2009. It is my pleasure to honor Steve Gniadek with our 2018 Citizen Scientist of the Year Award.
As examples of some of the work that Steve has done:
Whether working as a professional biologist, or advocating as a citizen, Steve has always been a strong voice for all wildlife and their habitats. He has a long-term history of standing up for what is right when it comes to wildlife, including birds.
In order to do our conservation work, it is essential for us to understand where wildlife species live in our state and how their distribution and population changes over time.
Because of their critical role in wildlife and ecosystem information, we recognized the Montana Natural Heritage Program (Heritage Program) with our 2017 Conservationist of the Year Award. Montana Audubon is particularly grateful for the program's housing of the Montana Bird Distribution database, mapping Important Bird Area boundaries, and developing the state's first wetland and riparian habitat maps.
So how is Heritage Program data used? The information is primarily used in environmental reviews conducted by local, state, federal, and tribal governments, and private consulting firms, to better understand the impacts of mining, timber sales, subdivisions, utility and pipeline corridors, oil and gas developments, highway construction projects, and more.
Good information is critical to protecting and maintaining our state's valuable natural heritage—especially as the state continues to grow and develop. We are pleased to recognize the Montana Natural Heritage Program for this work in this area.
This year, Montana Audubon recognized a hard-working, dedicated volunteer with our Lifetime Achievement Award: Beth Hill
Beth has donated thousands of hours of work to the Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon Chapter:
Beth: we appreciate and thank you for your tireless work and commitment to Audubon!
This year Montana Audubon presented a Special Achievement Award to Gail Engler, for her tireless work and dedication to the establishment of a permanent endowment fund in honor of her parents: the George and Laurene Engler Montana Audubon Conservation Endowment.
George Engler was deeply involved with conservation issues. As Supervisor of the Lewis and Clark National Forest he successfully resisted unrestrained forest clear-cutting and helped foster the protection of the Rocky Mountain Front. George also co-founded the Great Falls Conservation Council, which brings together conservationists for a monthly program to learn and network with each other, and the Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon chapter.
Laurene Engler also supported many conservation causes. Her efforts were often behind the scenes, but she was no less enthusiastic about the importance of conserving the land and keeping it accessible so future generations could enjoy it.
To learn more about George and Laurene, click HERE.
Finally, please support the Engler Endowment (click HERE). And because of the very generous Upper Missouri Breaks Audubon Chapter, each dollar given to this fund in 2017, up to $5,000, will be matched.
We are pleased to recognize Gail for her work for birds, conservation, Montana Audubon, and the state of Montana—in perpetuity!
Many Montanans care about birds. However, extremely few devote the greater portion of their lives to these winged wonders. Because of their life-long devotion to birds, Montana Audubon is pleased to recognize Chuck and Jean Carlson with a 2017 Special Achievement Award.
Specifically we thank them for:
We are privileged and proud to know Jean and Chuck—and pleased to recognize them for their outstanding work for birds, Audubon, and the state of Montana.
These awards were presented at our annual Bird Festival in Missoula in 2015. We recognize these individuals and groups for their excellent work:

Retailer Plans to Go Public. Wait…Now?…A Retailer?…Really?
Roots, a Canadian retailer, has filed a prospectus for a public offering. Here's the link to their web site. As usual, the initial prospectus is missing a lot of key numbers, but I'll do the best I can.
Roots has been around since 1973, so they must be doing something right. "As of July 29, 2017, our integrated omni-channel footprint included 116 corporate retail stores in Canada, 4 corporate retail stores in the United States, 109 partner-operated stores in Taiwan, 27 partner-operated stores in China and a global e-commerce platform that shipped to 54 countries during our most recently completed fiscal year." They had 2,200 full time employees.

Wrath of the Fleshwarped Queen, a Pathfinder Society scenario written by Brian Duckwitz for Tier 1-5, was released on June 28, 2017.
|When members of the Shoanti Axe Clan saw fire shooting up into the sky over Varisia's Calphiak Mountains, they rushed to investigate. They found a pair of doors inscribed with runes from ancient Thassilon, along with clear signs that the doors had recently been opened. In recognition of the Axe Clan's expanding alliances, the Shoanti offered both the Society and a priest of Soralyon from Riddleport the opportunity to explore the ruin and neutralize its dangers. Now that the priest has vanished within the complex, the PCs must uncover the ruin's history before the Shoanti lose faith in them and take matters into their own hands.

I swear I have not seen the sun for weeks now.
It is getting quite depressing, to say the least.
It has been so dreary and gloomy out – is it too much to ask for just a little sun?!
And if it has to be dreary out – why not just rain or snow… I mean, at least something would be going on then!
Yesterday was the same as today. Dreary.
So I spent the day either curled up on the couch, sipping a chai latte and reading.
Or I was in the kitchen making dinner and some food for baby girl.
I always had the intention of making homemade baby food for baby girl – but never got around to it. Ugh. Buying baby food was always much more convenient. But it's starting to get expensive! 50 cents for a 4 oz jar of sweet potatoes. When I can get a pound of sweet potatoes for 79 cents. Does this make sense to you?! So, on Saturday we went grocery shopping and I picked up a few things so I could make her food. I made sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.
I just baked both potatoes, pureed them, then popped them in ice cube trays and froze. Once frozen I transferred them to labeled freezer bags and tada homemade baby food. Quick to grab and heat. And baby girl loved the sweet potatoes!! I was afraid she wouldn't like them, since the taste of the jarred stuff is different than homemade, but she gobbled it up.
I plan to make carrots, peas and green beans… and maybe mash some bananas before they all get too ripe, but I ran out of freezer bags, so I have to wait until hubby picks some up tonight after work.
Then I got to work on our dinner. Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup. I found the recipe over at For The Love of Cooking, and knew I had to try it! Oh.My.Goodness, it was so good!! Definitely a keeper in this household. Even hubby loved it – and he hates veggies. He actually ate everything in his bowl! YAY!
Creamy Chicken and Rice Soup
Recipe from For The Love of Cooking
1 tsp of olive oil
1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
2-3 carrots, diced
2-3 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
5 cups of chicken stock
1 tsp chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp dried basil
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced (more if you like)
1/2 cup long grain rice
1/2 cup frozen sweet yellow corn, thawed
2 tbsp corn starch
12 oz can evaporated milk
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots and celery once hot. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and stir constantly for 60 seconds.
Add the chicken stock, diced chicken, rice, bouillon, basil, sea salt, black pepper and bay leaf.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
Turn the soup up until it boils.
Mix the corn starch and evaporated milk thoroughly in a bowl.
Add the milk mixture to the boiling soup and stir.
Lower the heat and add the corn.
Mix thoroughly and simmer for a few more minutes.
The soup will thicken as it sits.
**I ended up using 6 cups of chicken broth, because I used brown rice, which takes longer to cook and was cooking away my liquid. If you use brown rice, it will also take longer than 20 minutes to cook. I think I cooked mine for about 40 minutes or so. I just kept testing to see if the rice was tender. I also used two cups of chicken.**
Yum yum yum! Go make this! It is super simple and so delicious! Definitely good for a dreary day like today!
To finish off the evening, I cuddled back on the couch with the book. This time I had some hot chocolate. I had a hankering for something sweet – and I've had this in my cupboard for a few months.
Thought I'd give it a try.
The verdict…. Eh… Not my cup of cocoa…
I drank some of it, but just couldn't stomach the rest. I didn't taste the peppermint in it and it was way too chocolatey for me.
So, I whipped up a new cup – this time with my trusty friend…
Mmmmm. I love this stuff! So good. I love that it has real candy cane pieces in it! You can definitely taste the peppermint and I can control the amount of powder going it. I don't enjoy the overpowering chocolate some hot cocoas have, so it's nice to be in control with how much or how little powder goes in.
Finishing the evening the right way!
Oh and can we talk about this book?! If you notice, it says I'm on chapter 3 in the book. I don't remember when I took this picture – maybe around 8:30 or so. I ended up staying up until 3:30am to finish reading the book. This book is so good!!! I am a little edgy right now, because I want to read the other books… like… yesterday! UGH! I guess the only thing to be happy about, is that I don't have to wait until they are finally released. They are all out, all I have to do is go to the library (or the store) and get them. Probably the store. This is a series I need to have in my collection!
Thank you Hales for letting me borrow the book. I had no idea what I was missing out on!!
Well, baby girl finally fell asleep for her nap, and I have dishes to do.
Hope you have a wonderful Monday! Hopefully it's less gloomy wherever you are!

If you were arrested for DWI in Collin County, including McKinney, Frisco, Plano or Allen, Texas, then contact an attorney at Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy. Call (972) 805-8855 to speak with an experienced, aggressive and passionate attorney ready to fight to protect your rights after a DWI arrest.
We created this website to help you understand the charges against you and why you should fight those charges. We provide our clients with an aggressive defense based on years of experience fighting DWI cases.
Contact us today at (972) 805-8855 for a free consultation to discuss the facts of your case. Even if you do not hire us, you will leave the consultation with a better idea of what you need to do to fight the charges against you.
Your case has two parts. First, you must fight to protect your driving privileges from the automatic administrative or civil proceeding triggered by the DUI arrest. Second, you must fight the criminal charges.
We represent clients throughout Collin County, including Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Wylie, Murphy, Farmersville, Garland and Prosper. We also represent clients in Rockwall County and Grayson County.
If you have been arrested for DWI, you must request a hearing within 15 days of your arrest to prevent the immediate suspension of your driver's license.
Under the state Administrative License Revocation ("ALR") program, if the person refuses to submit to chemical testing of the breath, blood or urine, or if the specimen provided has an alcohol concentration in excess of the legal limit, the Texas Department of Public Safety will automatically suspend the person's driver license.
The driver has 15 days after the notice of suspension (usually counted as the day of the arrest) to demand a formal review hearing to contest the suspension. At the hearing, the driver (or his attorney) can subpoena witnesses, question those witnesses, and provide additional evidence and argument. If the suspension is upheld, the driver can appeal that ruling.
In many ways, the administrative suspension hearing is the most important part of the case. The hearings can be won. Additionally, evidence and testimony from the hearing give the criminal defense attorney an incredible advantage in the in the criminal case
The second case pending against you is the criminal case that will be heard at the courthouse in McKinney, Collin County, TX.
It takes approximately 45 days for the Collin County District Attorney's Office to formally file DWI charges against you. The clerk of court will send you a letter notifying you of your next court date that is usually 2 to 3 weeks after you receive the letter.
At your first appearance, the court will ask you whether you wish to represent yourself, have an attorney appointed by the court, or hire a private attorney. If you intend to hire a private attorney, do so as early in your case as possible. In many cases, the private attorney can waive your appearance at the preliminary court dates so that you can go to work and avoid the stress and aggravation of appearing in court.
In Collin County, there are six County Court Judges that handle misdemeanor cases like DWI. Each judge has his or her own rules and procedures.
The District Attorney's Office has a misdemeanor division with six "trial teams." The prosecutors in these divisions work day in and day out with the judge in that courtroom. It is equally important for you to have an attorney who is familiar with the procedures of that particular judge and courtroom.
We believe in preparing every case for trial. It is through that preparation that we gain some leverage over the prosecutor to resolve the case in a more favorable manner for our client. In the first few months that we have your case, we will conduct the administrative hearing, obtain all of the police reports, chemical test results, videotape, and other evidence. We will meet with you to review all of this material and discuss the viability of filing motions to dismiss or motions to suppress.
We will talk with you about plea negotiations for a lesser charge, whether to file a motion to suppress or dismiss, and your goals to resolve the case short of trial. In the event no plea negotiations are satisfactory, we will take your case to trial to fight for a "not guilty" verdict.
DWI cases are complicated. Your DUI attorney must be well-versed in the effects that alcohol or drugs have on the human body, contesting the arresting officer's observations and conclusions, disputing the testimony from expert witnesses concerning the results of a breath, blood or urine test and more.
Regardless of the type of charge, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy understand how to use the deficiencies in investigative procedures, scientific weaknesses in evidence, and techniques used by the prosecution to your advantage.
Richard C. McConathy is a member of the Texas Criminal Lawyers' Association. He earned his Juris Doctor from Texas Wesleyan University School of Law in Fort Worth, Texas. He was named a Texas Monthly Rising Star in 2011 and a Rising Star by Super Lawyers from 2012-2014. He has the experience and passion for fighting for the best results in your case.
One of the best ways to understand Texas law for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is to read the standard jury instructions that are read to the jury at trial. It provides that the term "intoxication" means:
Although the majority of our clients are charged with a first DWI and never imagined being on the wrong side of the law, we also represent clients on more serious charges such as a second, third or subsequent DWI.
Whether your case involves a refusal or a breath, blood or urine test result – we can help. We also represent clients on felony DWI charges for having a child passenger in the vehicle or for intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter.
By focusing on DWI cases, our attorneys can stay up to date on changes in the law that can help them win DWI cases during motions hearings or at trial.
If you were arrested for DWI by an officer with the Collin County Sheriff's Office, the Allen Police Department, the Frisco Police Department, the Plano Police Department or the Wylie Police Department then contact an attorney with Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy.
Call Law Offices of Richard C. McConathy at (972) 805-8855 or contact us online for a free confidential review of your case. We provide flexible payment plans when needed and accept Visa and MasterCard.
I was charged with DWI in Collin County, Texas. I heard that this is a tough place to get a DWI charge defeated. Fortunately, I hired Richard McConathy and Brian Bolton. They took it all the way and won my case. I owe these guys alot. Don't mess with any lawyer that can't compare with these guys. Thank you Richard and Brian.William H. Collin County DWI

Israel has assured the United Nations that it is not supplying arms to the parties to the civil war in South Sudan, local media reported Thursday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Some two months ago, a UN delegation visiting Israel was assured that Israeli weapons had not been supplied to either of South Sudan's opposing factions since early 2014, Haaretz newspaper reported.While the UN Security Council imposed sanctions, including a weapons embargo on those involved in the ongoing fighting in South Sudan in March 2015, a late August UN report exposed the use of Israeli-made weapons by the South Sudanese army.
Israel has stressed that Galil ACE assault rifles were sold to South Sudan by private companies prior to the start of the civil war in the African country in 2013, the newspaper said, adding that the sale of non-lethal arms continued. Israel has also attempted to mediate between the conflicting sides, the report added.
Civil war broke out in South Sudan in late 2013 between the country's government and opposition forces after President Salva Kiir Mayardit accused opposition leaders Riek Machar and Pagan Amum of planning a coup. Tensions between the Dinka and Nuer ethnic factions in the Presidential Guard escalated into hostilities in the nation's capital, Juba, before spilling over to other areas.
Over 10,000 people had died by early 2015 as a result of the fighting, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project. Almost two million civilians had been displaced by mid-2015, according to the UN.

Hit by the Thunderbolt
H.L. Mencken said that love,
was the triumph of imagination,
over intelligence.
I suppose he was just about right,
right up until the time you're in it,
heart-deep in the magic zone,
where the scent of her breath
intoxicates you like heavenly heroin
and sweet cocaine,
and you surrender.
And the mere fact
that this bizarre sight
is even possible
in the midst of all this madness,
truly is a triumph,
and you don't care
what kind.
Angel's in the Architecture
On the way back from
Yuri's Night
we met a girl in passing
dressed like an angel
with the full length
white feathery wings
of an angel
she was just going to the Rave
and we
being old men
were leaving
but when my friend
remarked to the minx
that she was an angel
she stopped, faced us
and flipped a hidden switch
which caused her wings
to light up in a dozen multi-colored diodes.
Next year we'll go late
and stay later
in order to experience
the spectacle
of youth,
the ultimate aphrodisiac.
Happy Birthday
I woke up
in pieces
21,900 days
60 winters
60 summers
What fresh hell is this?
Should have been dead
5 or 6 times
that I know about,
or damaged
at the least.
Yet now I'm strongest
at the broken places
at the top of my game.
Is this heaven?
The women loved.
It's to those gentle ones
that my memory runs.
Or more likely somewhere
a purgatory
wrapped in a
Roman Carnival
with Barkers
on the Midway.

When Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement, many Americans were freaking out about what would happen to Roe v. Wade with Donald Trump in charge of picking a Supreme Court nominee. Abortion rights have always been one of the Republican Party's main targets, and the more progressive side of the country knew that the GOP would jump on a chance to overturn the law. Unfortunately for conservatives, Trump is unpredictable — and it looks like it won't be so easy for them.
In an interview with Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo asked the president how he would be picking his Supreme Court nominee, specifically focusing on abortion rights. Bartiromo asked Trump if he would question his candidates on how they felt about Roe v. Wade before choosing his nominee, and the president's answer surprised Republicans. Bartiromo asked:
Are you going to ask your nominees beforehand how they might vote on Roe versus Wade?"
Trump said:
Well, that's a big one. And probably not. They are all saying don't do that. You don't do that. You shouldn't do that. But I'm putting conservative people on."
Bartiromo reminded Trump that during his presidential campaign, the president had said abortion rights should be left up to the states. Trump was indecisive, even on his own talking point:
Well, maybe some day it will be to the states. You never know how that's going to turn out. That's a very complex question. The Roe v. Wade is probably the one that people are talking about in terms of having an effect. But we will see what happens. But it could very well end up with states at some point."
The GOP probably thought the annihilation of abortion rights would be easy once they had a Republican president and another Supreme Court Justice pick. Unfortunately for them, Trump's presidency is going NOTHING like they expected. You can watch this video below:
During interview with @MariaBartiromo, Trump said he "probably" won't ask potential SCOTUS nominees for their position on Roe vs. Wade — "but I'm putting conservative people on."
Adds that abortion rights could become an issue for each state to decide. pic.twitter.com/9yl9UOtEfV

OMAK Pending approval of a liquor license, Omak residents Leonel Marcial and Mario Figueroa plan to open Red Rooster Grill in February.
Home of the former Red Rooster Family Restaurant, 3 S. Main St., the grill would serve a mixture of Mediterranean and country-style food, Marcial said.
Think grilled meat sandwiches, burgers, wraps and salads for lunch, and French cuisine, steaks and pastas – a more formal lineup – for the dinner menu, he said.
"I'm excited," Marcial said. "I think we're going to have more affordable prices than the previous restaurant. We can meet people's budgets and put quality food on their plates."
In the meantime, Marcial and Figueroa stay busy cleaning the restaurant, installing equipment, finishing the menu and recruiting candidates for two waiter positions.
"Everything is ready but not ready," Marcial said, paradoxically.
The business partners should receive word about their license by the end of the week, he said. They hope to open by Valentine's Day, Marcial said.
A grand opening will be set upon approval of the license.
Red Rooster Family Restaurant closed February 2016. The restaurant served both Italian and American cuisine, steaks, pastas and salads.

If you were a buger I would pick you first.
If I let you suck on my tongue would you be greatful?
Nice Shoes. Wanna fuck?
I'd like to wrap your legs around my head and wear you like a feed bag.
You remind me of my Grandma except I haven't slept with you yet.
You stole my heart. But that's okay; I have another one at home in the fridge.
Are you free tonight or is it gonna cost me?
I wish you were a carousel at Wal-Mart so I could ride you all day long for just a quarter!!
Hey babe, do you realize that my mouth can generate over 750 psi?
Why don't you get down on your knees and smile like a doughnut?
The word of the day is legs. Let's go back to my crib and spread the word.
If your left leg is Thanksgiving, and your right leg is Christmas, can I visit you between the holidays?
Can I touch your belly button...from the inside?
do you smell that? cause your on fire

Project Roles: Designer, Art Director
My client is a content strategist and marketing professional who approached me with the challenge to brand his next creative project. I established a graphic identity that speaks to the art of listening, curiosity and authenticity, with a touch of self-deprecating humor.
The title, Haifidelity, is a pun on the client's name and 'fidelity' or faithfulness, alluding to his motto of staying true to himself. The term 'high fidelity' itself, meaning high quality reproduction of sound, further reinforces his values of self-integrity.
The design exploration consisted of thorough research about my client's personal passions and values. The purpose of his podcast is to express the challenges he has faced through the lens of music and culture. His strong enthusiasm for music, fashion and entrepreneurship informed my three design directions.

Best-selling author Peter May returns to The Avenue Shopping Centre in Newton Mearns for the fourth year in a row.
The novelist whose books regularly top the charts will be discussing his latest book, Coffin Road, in a free event organised by Waterstone's.
In May's latest standalone book, a man is washed up on a deserted beach on the Hebridean Isle of Harris, barely alive and borderline hypothermic - he has no idea who he is or how he got there.
The only clue to his identity is a map tracing a track called the Coffin Road. He does not know where it will lead him but filled with dread, fear and uncertainty, he knows he must follow it.
There's little doubt May has yet another winner on his hands. Meet the author at Primavera Bistro on Monday, January 18 from 7pm till 8.30pm.

Is mercury in vaccines really safe? It's time to prove it!
Robert Kennedy Jr. is offering $100,000 to anyone who can prove that the mercury in vaccines is safe. An expert guides us through our worries in the meantime.
Prompting yet another round of questions regarding the safety of vaccines, Robert Kennedy Jr., chairman of the World Mercury Project, is offering $100,000 to anyone who can prove that the mercury levels in a preservative used in vaccines is safe.
Kennedy claims that the government—the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), specifically—have been lying to people for years about the safety of thimerosal, a a mercury-containing preservative, present in "48 million U.S. flu vaccines each year … and, in massive doses, in the pediatric vaccines given to 100 million children across the developing world."
WORTH READING: Should pediatricians be allowed to turn unvaccinated children away?
"On one hand," Kennedy says, "the government is telling pregnant women which mercury-laced fish to avoid so that they don't harm their fetuses, and on the other, the CDC supports injecting mercury-containing vaccines into pregnant women, infants and children. This defies all logic and common sense."
Thus, Kennedy, who claims he is not anti-vax, is offering the prize to anyone who can, in effect, make some sense of this.
Lots of worries & few answers
Of course, this news stirs up all kinds of fears in parents, wondering just who and what to believe about the safety of vaccines.
While repeated scientific studies dispute any links to between MMR vaccines and autism, we all hear the anecdotal evidence to support claims that the link exists. And though we want to trust what government agencies have been telling us regarding mercury levels in vaccines for decades (spanning, for what it's worth, different presidential administrations!), any news on the potential dangers of vaccines rightfully worries parents.
|It's difficult to prove the absolute safety or danger of vaccines, as there are so many issues 'downstream' and so many children who are vaccinated.
This is something Dr. Ruben Mesa, professor and chair of the Division of Hematology & Medical Oncology at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, and a father of two, understands.
There's good reason for the "concern over the high volumes of mercury of bottom-feeding fish," Mesa says, as mercury can be damaging to our brains. Mesa reminds us that the phrase "mad as a hatter" came about because the mercury used to cure the felt used in hats poisoned the hatters and made them, well, mad.
For now, common sense is best
However, though Mesa concedes it's difficult to "prove the absolute safety or danger [of vaccines], as there are so many issues 'downstream'" and so many children who are vaccinated, Mesa considers vaccines not only safe, but essential to our health. He believes this as a "host," as a father, and as a doctor who treats patients who are immuno-compromised.
As for Kennedy's assertions that the government is hiding something or in cahoots with Big Pharma, Mesa reminds us of two things. One, vaccines are not big money makers for pharmaceutical companies ("When we have runs on vaccines, it's because they don't make that much. Because they aren't that profitable," Mesa says.) And two, unlike the food we eat or the water we drink, medicine and vaccines are "highly regulated and protected." Contrary to what many claim, Mesa contents that the FDA really is "quite independent"—meaning it's not swayed by special interests or politics.
|Hopefully Kennedy's 'reward' will push research further and provide clearer answers or at least get us asking the right questions.
"I find it ironic," Mesa says, "that people who eschew vaccines [for lack of regulation and study] will take 40 supplements—none of which are regulated or studied."
Chances are the vaccine debate will not be settled any time soon, but perhaps Kennedy's "reward" will push research further and provide clearer answers or at least get us asking the right questions.
In the meantime, staying informed and having health care professionals we trust will continue to be good medicine, as common sense tells us that decisions about what's right and safe for our families are best made in conversation with our trusted doctors.

We got to see the kids have a little bit more fun this time around. First, Blake had a viewing party for the premiere of the Gap commercial that he and Staci appeared in. (By the way, I've continued my trend of downloading tunes I've discovered from TV show soundtracks and commercials. In case you're wondering, the song used in the Gap ad is "Do Ya" by Peaches.)
Guests included the cast of MTV's Dancelife minus Nolan and some other randoms. Cute Kenny joked about how it was cool to watch the commercial he didn't get. (But don't forget, you got the J. Lo tour, Blake didn't.)
Then Boston, oops – I mean, BAHston Kenny had a BBQ (as in BAH-be-que, love their accents!) at his apartment pool with his roommate Nick. Guests included the cast of MTV's Dancelife minus Nolan and some other randoms. They played beer pong – how cute!!!
The kids also did a master class with some krumping – it was rad.
And in honor of tomorrow's romantic holiday, we got some lovey-dovey-ness, too! Cute Kenny's girlfriend, Ashley from the Pussycat Dolls, is back in town from Europe where she's been touring with her girls. It was soooo cute seeing them reunited, but I'm sure it was just a little bit awkward having all the cameras and the other PCDs watching. Unfortunately, they only got to spend a little bit of time together because Ashley was only home for a few days before she had to head out to Asia. And during one of those days home (the next morning actually), PCD had to film their new music video. Disappointed, Kenny went off to the studio after their date to dance it off. It was really cool – once I find a good quality video clip, I'll post it here.
The next day, Kenny visited her on set and I was so sure he was going to break up with her because he was always missing her and they barely got to spend anytime together. But no, he just wanted to apologize for his behavior the night before, and they'll just have to wait to be able to spend more time together.
Jersey got some lovin', too. Kenny's roommate, Nick, took her out for a salsa date. This was the first time for both so it was cute to see professional dancers still get nervous about learning something new in front of other people. The date was going pretty well until Nick dropped the bomb that he was leaving soon to go appear in "Hairspray" in Toronto for five months. Man, I've said it before, but it really does suck for those guys in the entertainment business to have a personal life.
So, no Nolan this week. It looks like we'll see more of Staci next week as she takes a stab at being a recording artist – interesting! And was that Britney's old dancer, TJ, in the previews??? What happened to him???

Goessl brought the tracks to Scott James with the intention of making a video album. Thursday March 23rd will be the debut of this collaboration. Scott and Jason have been working together as sound/visuals partners for over a decade in two of Jason's other projects; Obleus and Trimtab. This will be the first official release of their collaborative efforts.
Suggested donation $10-$15 (donate what/if you can)
Donations go directly into supporting the artists and Mokedo.
More about the Artists:
Jason Goessl
Born and raised in a small village in eastern Wisconsin Jason became an accomplished jazz guitarist by age 17. At age 18 Jason started his trek west. His first stop was Eau Claire WI. There he studied music at the University and played in the award winning jazz ensemble with such jazz greats as saxophonist Michel Brecker and guitarist Charlie Byrd. Getting the itch for more inspiration, Jason moved to Minneapolis where he made a living gigging most nights of the week. With his insatiable desire for creativity and elevation, Jason made the trek to Seattle WA. Today, Jason makes a living as one of Seattle's top guitarist in most genres. From jazz to country, indie to Brazilian, ambient to metal, Jason is a freelance guitarist that approaches the music with studied curiosity and stamps it with his indelible signature sound.
Scott Keva James
Scott Keva James is a Seattle-based A/V artist whose work focuses on live performance, installations and immersive environments. He has a keen interest in time, texture and flow. In his work lyrical patterns emerge and slide along the continuum between organic and inorganic, nature and artifice, abstract and concrete. Since co-founding The Now Device in 2004, he has provided creative direction to projects for symphony orchestras and clients like Xbox, MSN, Getty Images, Seattle Theater Group and the Jimi Hendrix Foundation. Scott spent nearly two years as the visual resident and then producer at Oscillate (Seattle) and performed most years at Seattle's Decibel Festival. Thanks to an NEA grant-funded project, since 2008 he has taught a digital media design studio for teens at Frank Lloyd Wright's Westcott House. Scott continues to perform at art centers, galleries and clubs in Washington, Colorado, Ohio and New York, and has collaborated with numerous local and international artists.
Ben Von Wildenhaus
bio and event description:
Ben von Wildenhaus (ex-Federation X) is a guitarist who's spent time in both NYC and Washington State. His style has been compared to Marc Ribot and Jim Campiglongo. New York Music Daily calls it "deep noir." Spin describes his music as "a tight confluence of meditative anti-shredding." He has two albums, Great Melodies From Around (Riot Bear, 2011), and Ben von Wildenhaus II (GLOBOS, 2015).
"Orbothology" is a collaboration between the video artists House Plants (NYC) and the guitarist Ben von Wildenhaus. The orb takes center stage as a fetishized object of Eastern mysticism and American new ageism. The performance is both hilarious and intensely psychedelic. Orbothology debuted as a showcasing performance at SXSW 2012 in Austin, Texas. The collaboration was also performed in Los Angeles, CA, New Haven, CT, Olympia, WA, Seattle, WA, and Bellingham, WA. House Plants is a collaborative video enterprise by Brooklyn, New York artists Michael Nason and Brendan Harman. Their works include music videos for Das Racist, Led Er Est, Acrylics and Ben von Wildenhaus.
Crystal Beth (Solo)
Composer/clarinetist/vocalist Beth Fleenor harbors a strong love for variety & all sonic manipulation, moving freely through genres such as jazz, rock, classical, contemporary chamber, Slavic & American folk, metal, musique concrete, ambient & pop. Her work has been heard internationally from 100,000 seat rock festivals, maximum-security prisons, and performance art in rural bars, to art galleries, bunkers, sidewalks, sacred spaces, and some of the most prestigious concert halls, museums, clubs and theaters in the country. Believing that "art is the discipline of being," Fleenor uses sound to open the channels of communication between and within individuals and environments. Her work as been heard in live music, recordings, theater, performance art, installation, modern dance, and film. She believes that an emphasis on creativity in a culture gives rise to creative solutions to social problems.
Mexican Gourd Trick aka Scott Keva James
Mexican Gourd Trick makes synthetic music from a combination of real and imagined objects. Tracks vary from ambient to noisy, from droning to sometimes melodic and even, occasionally have a beat in there somewhere. He has performed in Denver, Seattle and parts of Ohio, almost always in collaboration with Scott Keva James.

"Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established;
believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper."
-2 Chronicles 20:20c
We are in a divine covenant with God. He desires for you
to reap a harvest. Your tithes and offerings are visible
proof that you honor God.
The Law of the Seed (Sowing and Reaping) was intended to
birth encouragement, Hope and excitement toward a harvest.
Your seed is always a door out of trouble.
The size of your seed unlocks the size of your future.
When God sends a prophet into your life he does it so
you will prosper. Listen to the prophet of God.
I want to encourage you to believe God and His Word.
His thoughts toward you are only good thoughts. They are
"thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end." - Jeremiah 29:11
When you sow a seed, sow with expectation of a harvest.
Even a farmer, when he sows his seed, expects to reap
a bountiful harvest.
Each month I ask the Holy Spirit for 300 partners to sow
a gift of $30 to help us spread the Gospel in our outreach
ministries... The Kingdom 300. Will you sow that seed today?
Whatever seed you sow... will unlock the harvest God has
promised you.
When you sow your seed of $30 or more, remember to request
your gift of appreciation, "Raising a Conquering Generation."
Whatever seed you sow... will unlock the harvest God has
promised you.
Thank you from my heart...!!

Recently, as has been commented on, EduTwitter seems to have been rocked with graceless mud-slinging and overloaded accusations from both sides of the debate. The Michaela Academy has caused massive verbal rants, cruel insults (from both sides) and elongated Twitter conversations. Seriously, I actually spent 20 minutes reading through one of them, captivated at how…pointless…the debate was and then realised I had wasted 20 minutes of my life.
(By the way, I say pointless not because there was nothing to be debated – rather that hundreds of tweets were casted and nothing really changed, just a negative tone on my Twitter feed).
Despite this raging issue, which as I write this still is ongoing, there are issues in education which everyone seems to agree with. So why is everyone using their efforts to engage in discussions which are having no impact other than to cause divide and paint others in the negative light. It is clear that those within Michaela feel there has been a hate campaign and that others feel that their methods go against their personal views. I have my views, yet I am not going to comment on who and which side I am in agreement with – there's enough practitioners doing that very well.
I want to focus on those issues which have popped up alongside the Michaela debate that are either ongoing or that are changing. Unfortunately, it seems that these issues that everyone agrees with are more difficult to overcome or never seem to have an easy answer. I call these 'Educational Ideals' because we all know that there must be a better way – it just seems that right now there isn't a clear way forward. However, if all educators unite their efforts to these, then positive change will happen. I will list a few examples here:
- Ending the SATs Anxiety
Here I am not calling for an end to SATs. They are necessary. I personally feel that we can keep schools accountable by measuring the progress of pupils. However it is the way that these tests and results are used that are the issue. High-stakes testing is causing a strain on schools, staff and children and this negative source will have an impact. We can agree that the anxiety caused by SATs is unsustainable – what can teachers do to raise their voices and end this anxiety?
2. Reducing the Ofsted Workload
Here I am not calling for an end to Ofsted. They are necessary. I personally feel that we can keep schools accountable by ensuring there is a good level standard of teaching and learning going on in schools and they are maintaining educational excellence with outstanding leadership. However it is the way that these inspections and visits are conducted and prepared for that is the issue. High-stakes monitoring is causing a strain on schools and staff and this negative source will have an impact. We can agree that the fear caused by Ofsted inspections is unsustainable – what can teachers do to raise their voices and end this fear?
Fortunately teachers have been heard on this matter. Ofsted, however this has been done, have heard the outcries and they are starting to make more proactive steps to try and reduce the workload created by their visits. Ofsted produced a document a couple of years ago which outlined myths which unfortunately a number of schools still haven't taken into consideration: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-inspection-handbook-from-september-2015/ofsted-inspections-mythbusting
As recently as the 18th January, Sean Harford posted a blog outlining again some myths about safeguarding in Ofsted inspections to try and make expectations clear and consistent. https://educationinspection.blog.gov.uk/2017/01/18/keeping-children-safe-in-education-and-ofsteds-role/
Of course some schools may be reluctant to listen to these assurances by Ofsted themselves in case they receive an inspector who still expects something that has been debunked. That's when we can refer to these documents from Ofsted. We must spread this to all schools so all staff can be relieved of unnecessary burdens.
3. Ending the Marking Madness
Here I am not calling for an end to marking (…or do I mean feedback – that's a whole other debate). It is necessary. I personally feel that we must keep children aware of their learning by feeding back effectively on the learning they have recorded. However it is the way that this marking is monitored and in what format it is expected that is the problem. High-volume marking (in amount and expectation) is causing a strain on schools and staff and this negative source will have an impact on well-being if not managed. We can agree that the fatigue caused by marking is unsustainable – what can teachers do to raise their voices and end this fatigue?
Again, this is something which has had a recent development! Ofsted – in the updated myth-busting document mentioned earlier – have made it clear that they have no specific expectation on the quantity of marking. They state:
"Ofsted recognises that marking and feedback to pupils, both written and oral, are important aspects of assessment. However, Ofsted does not expect to see any specific frequency, type or volume of marking and feedback; these are for the school to decide through its assessment policy. Marking and feedback should be consistent with that policy, which may cater for different subjects and different age groups of pupils in different ways, in order to be effective and efficient in promoting learning."
Perfect news right? The days of complex colour coding and dialogue between teacher and pupil written endlessly in books are gone right? Ofsted have done their part and made it clear what they do and don't expect – but again, not all schools will know/take this on board for fear they will be inspected by an inspector that will expect it. As such, their marking policy may not be reducing teacher's workloads. And because of the statement highlighted in bold (Marking and feedback should be consistent with that policy) whether you like it or not – if your school has a ridiculous marking policy, you will be expected by Ofsted to mark ridiculously!
So what is the answer? If your school is still implementing ineffective, workload-inducing marking policies then speak out. Say something to the SLT, show the Ofsted document and present a new strategy that will still fit in Ofsted guidelines but reduce workload.
Use our Teacher Voice
As educationalists we can make these ideals happen – but instead of throwing comments and causing divides, we must raise our voices on what really matters. Positive change is happening – let's shout about it so ALL hear this and prevent any negative changes in the future.

Humanities Fellows Program Information Session
Boatwright Library, Seminar Room 1
The Humanities Fellows program is a selective, close-knit, and interdisciplinary community of students and scholars investigating critical and contemporary questions about human experience from diverse perspectives. Sophomores excited about humanities fields—history, culture, rhetoric, philosophy, classical studies, religious studies, literatures, and the arts—have the opportunity to explore their interests while developing skills that matter in and out of the classroom and preparing to live productive and purposeful lives. In 2019–2020 our focus will be on human migration: how the movement of peoples and contacts between cultures shape and define our complex world.
The program combines an interdisciplinary humanities seminar and field experience in Washington, DC (Spring 2019) with mentored summer research and continued professional mentorship, career development, and community.
Interested sophomore students can attend this information session to learn more about the program.

RightNow Tweaks Salesnet Integration PlansBy Barbara Darrow | Print
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
RightNow was ribbed for communications lapses, including two executive departures never announced to partners.
Sixteen months after RightNow Technologies bought Salesnet, the latters partners are still sorting out the ramifications of that deal on their businesses.
The May 2006 purchase united two SaaS companies with complementary talentsRightNow, of Bozeman, Mont., with support and service modules for large companies, and Boston-based Salesnet with its CRM and workflow capabilities for SMBs.
At a macro level, RightNow will support Salesnet CRM indefinitely and will integrate Salesnet's workflow and other features into RightNow modules in quarterly updates beginning February 2008, said David Vap, vice president of products. The incremental releases, like those of Salesforce.com, are a change in strategy. Previously, RightNow had said Salesnet perks would go into the next major release of RightNow, code-named Emerald, due next year.
Salesnet partners are satisfied with the road map for melding technologies but still want to see what RightNow will do on pricing and packaging to make its flagship modules more SMB-friendly, said Lisa Glinche, CEO of Sales Prodigy, Castle Rock , Colo., a SMB CRM specialist.
RightNow is an aggressive player. Click here to read more.
"The channel is quite new to them and they're coming along," Glinche said. "Obviously for us it's a lot slower than we would like, but when you go from selling RightNow technologies to companies with over $1 billion in revenue and then buy Salesnet to bring breadth and depth to the sales module, some adjustments are needed,"
"We're confident that [RightNow will] have a product in addition to Salesnetit really comes down to price," she said. "If they price it right, have good functionality and it's not too complex, that's good."
Ian Hendry, co-founder of Entelegen, Windsor, U.K., likewise wants to hear migrationand channelplans. "To be fair, RightNow sales is not far off from Salesnet in terms of functionality. All it lacks is the process element so you can map distinct sales processes into the app. A lot of the stuff is the same so migrating to RightNow wouldn't upset me."
Others Salesnet partners complain of more flagrant communication lapses including several who were never told Jonathan Tang, the founder and former president of Salesnet, left soon after the acquisition. Still others were uninformed of the recent departure of Richard Perkett, the former Salesnet CTO tapped to head integration of the two product lines. "It would have been nice for someone at the company to mention that," said one.
The specter of channel conflict also looms unresolved for both parties.
RightNow segments customers in terms of call center size, those with 250 sales or service agents or more are dubbed "enterprises" and remain the concentration of the RightNow direct sales force, but Hendry said he remains concerned.
"RightNow has an office five miles from here with 100 people," Hendry said. "Their sales reps will have the same product we have. We don't want to have to compete with them. We like to have options."
RightNow itself is unclear about the role of partners in the shift to software as a service, Vap concedes.
"In early pitches, we sold against integrators. 'You don't need Accenture, EDS, they'll waste your money.' Now our pitches are selling with integrators," he said.

Justine Greening mentions Scarborough UTC in a recent article in the Yorkshire Post:
"I want to make sure more young people get the opportunity to achieve their ambitions, no matter where they live. That's why I named Bradford, Doncaster and the North Yorkshire Coast as three of 12 Opportunity Areas across the country which are getting a share of £72m so young people in their community are supported to realise their ambitions, whatever they are.
This week we published plans setting out how we will achieve this on the North Yorkshire Coast. A great deal of investment and work has already taken place in Whitby, Scarborough and Filey. The university technical college and university campus are fantastic new facilities, and organisations like Scarborough Business Ambassadors are helping show young people the exciting careers already on offer in their area." – Justine Greening.
