Many Latin American artists were also receptive to the European avant-garde style of Cubism, which flattened and twisted forms and presented them from multiple angles. In 1907 the Mexican government awarded artist Diego Rivera a scholarship to study in Europe. He ended up in Paris, where he associated with the Cubist circle. Rivera's subject matter often included the abstracted portraits and still lifes favoured by Cubism's originators, Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso, but he also kept abreast of developments in Mexico and incorporated these themes into his work. By 1915 Mexico was embroiled in a major social revolution as the indigenous followers of Emiliano Zapata fought for ownership of the land. In Rivera's Zapatista Landscape (1915), he arranged the abstracted elements of a typical Zapata followerstraw hat, rifle, and serapein a flattened collage against a simplified snow-capped volcano, thus using Synthetic Cubist means to represent a Mexican reality.
Areas of South America that had small indigenous populations (generally, areas east of the Andes and in the Southern Cone) were particularly receptive to avant-garde European art movements such as Cubism. The Argentine Emilio Pettoruti was adamantly committed to Cubism, which he had learned from the Spanish artist Juan Gris. When Pettoruti went home to Buenos Aires in 1924, he enthusiastically exhibited his Cubist paintings to an often unreceptive public.
Joaquín Torres-García of Uruguay was well established in the modern art scene in Europe. In his canvases and wood boards, he flattened three-dimensional objects into evenly coloured geometric shapes separated by thick black lines. Torres-García's work reveals the same underlying structural unity as that of his Dutch mentor, Theo van Doesburg, a leader of the international Constructivist movement and a founder of De Stijl, although his paintings were not as abstract as van Doesburg's. As with many Latin American artists at the time, Torres-García was not a strict adherent to the dictums of a movement. For example, the Constructivist philosophy attempted to achieve a universal sense of truth and therefore rejected national traditions. In contrast, Torres-García attempted to reconnect with the traditions of his native continent: while still in Paris, he searched through natural history museums to find pre-Columbian motifs that he could incorporate into his art. In particular, the geometric designs from the Nazca in Peru and Tiwanaku in Bolivia appealed to his architectonic aesthetic.
After he returned to Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1934, Torres-García created divinities with Inca names out of geometric pieces of wood that he hammered together. In a park there he also erected a stone sculpture entitled Cosmic Monument (1938), which clearly reflects the proportions of the ancient Bolivian Gateway of the Sun. The Torres-García Workshop, which he founded in Uruguay to perpetuate his theories, remained strong long after his death. His influence extended across the Río de la Plata to Argentina, where a more geometric, nonrepresentational art movement called Concrete Invention was established in 1945. Concrete Invention artists created shaped, rather than traditionally rectangular, canvases painted in bold, flat colours.
In 1922 the virtues of the European avant-garde were dramatically proclaimed during Modern Art Week in São Paulo, Brazil, South America's most modern city. Although its organizers were interested in Cubism and other modern art movements of Europe, they were also concerned with finding Brazilian themes that would lead to a national art. Anita Malfatti and Emiliano di Caralcanti used emotional Fauvist colours, applied with slashing brushstrokes, to create the portraits typical of their early years. The leading Latin American Cubist painter associated with them, Tarsila do Amaral, returned to Brazil from Paris in 1924 to see Brazil with fresh eyes and incorporate it into her art. She soon created abstracted, geometric images of tropical landscapes and formed geometrically rounded portraits of women in the tradition of Fernand Léger, with whom she had worked in France. Later in that decade, Brazilian artists used the term cannibalism to describe their 20th-century art, referring to the fact that they devoured outside ideas and then digested them to make them part of their own identity. Brazilian art during the period was emphatically avant-garde, but it was also always distinctively Brazilian.
The Cuban artist Amelia Peláez, who had studied with Leopoldo Romañach, went to Paris and adopted a style that recalled the later, more-ornamental Cubist work produced by Braque, as well as the work of Georges Rouault and Henri Matisse. Upon her return to Cuba in 1934, she painted canvases with bright, carefully balanced colours that were separated by strong black lines that looked almost like stained glass. She incorporated her world of wrought-iron screens, sunlit patios, and fruit-filled dining tables into her subject matter. While her art fit within the international mainstream, it celebrated Cuba in particular. Peláez was the first Cuban artist to introduce a flat, geometric Modernist vocabulary into the island, and she encouraged other artists to follow her lead.

Heart Center: Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology
Experts trained in both heart disease and anesthesia minimize the discomfort associated with procedures to diagnose and treat heart disease. Managing patients with acquired and complex congenital heart diseases presents special challenges during sedation and recovery.
The Heart Center's team of pediatric cardiac anesthesiologists is responsible for guiding the intraoperative care of patients with congenital heart disease when these children must undergo any of a multitude of cardiac, as well as non-cardiac, surgical or diagnostic procedures. These physicians are from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and have all received specialized training to manage the pain associated with cardiac surgery.
The anesthesiologist will discuss the sedation process with the patient and family prior to the operation, administer the proper anesthetics to ensure the child is asleep and feeling no pain during the procedure, and closely monitor them after the surgery until they are stabilized in the cardiovascular intensive unit.

(maybe he can do Doug Melvin's laundry for a while too)
First off, on a scale of 1 to 11 with 1 being 'awesome' and 11 being 'so awesome mine goes to 11', how dominant are my photo-shopping skills? I mean you can barely even tell that I took a Braun headshot and put it on Dwight's face. Impeccable.
Anyhow I know there's going to be (and already is) a lot of 'BLAH BLAH BLAH!!' about Ryan Braun today but I felt like Strange Brew had to have something up about it. I guess my main sadness/embarrassment/disappointment is that it would appear from his statement that he is guilty of SOMETHING. Was it straight steroids or PEDs or herpes medication, we'll never know unless Braun or MLB wants to tell us. And my guess is that will never happen. Which is a shame because if Andy Pettite taught us anything about the 'steroid era' it's how to handle these situations. Just cop to it. Own it and eventually people will either forget or get over it. What people remember is Rafael Palmeiro wagging his finger like he was training for a Geico commercial during the Senate hearing. What people remember is Mark McGwire 'not wanting to talk about the past.' What people remember is Sammy Sosa turning into Baxter and forgetting how to speak English. We remember if people lied about it. Now that's not to say Braun wouldn't still wear a scarlet letter even if he admitted to whatever it is he is guilty of in February 2012. But the everyday sports fan is much more forgiving to athletes who admit their mistakes from day one.
Now I know there are still Brewer fans out there that are getting very 'conspiracy-y' shall we say and saying that Braun didn't admit to anything specific, that he realized MLB wouldn't let up so he accepted the best resolution for the team, or even that he's 'admitting mistakes' because that was apart of his plea down to 65 games and nothing more. Look nobody wants to believe Ryan Braun is clean more than me. I've defended him from the second the story broke in 2011. He's our generation's Robin Yount. A great player and great community guy. A guy that was destined for every Brewer record, 3,000 hits, and the Hall of Fame. Some of that may happen, time will tell. But if you truly believe that Braun did NOTHING at this point and following his statement yesterday, then you're playing in the Dumb and Dumber 'so you're saying there's a chance' realm of optimism. Again, what he did, what he's guilty of, we don't know. Now with that said this was absolutely a witch hunt by the MLB. They were angry he got off (grow up) on a 'technicality' and weren't going to rest until he was suspended. But historically speaking (not really) sometimes the witch hunt finds an actual witch.
So now where do we go from here? From a pure baseball perspective, this is best case scenario for the Crew. He's only gone for this season and we aren't going anywhere anyway. As far as I'm concerned Ramirez can go have a Summer of Aramis too and sit out the rest of the year to get his knee 100%. In terms of Braun's long term prognosis, it's probably too early to tell. Fans are angry today. A lot angrier than I expected. And while trying to find a rational, objective conversation on Facebook or Twitter is like trying to baptize a cat, there are some serious barbs being thrown his way from former believers. I suppose the crappiest thing is that all of those records and accomplishments are tainted if this is all true. What happens if he gets to 3,000? What happens when he breaks Yount's team home run record? Do we cheer? Do we care? I dunno. Part of me feels like that might be something of a solution. Just cancel every PED abusers stats. Like Braun can still play, can still help his team win a World Series, but his stats stop as of today. Really the ONLY solution for MLB, if they truly want to rid the game of steroids, is lifetime bans on first offense. That will never happen, but that would probably deter a lot of activity.
Overall a pretty sad day to be a Brewer fan any way you slice it. Regardless of what you choose to believe about Braun, this has to go down as one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Not just for the record we have but for all the extraneous stuff that has gone down. And that's saying something considering we've had years where Jose Hernandez batted clean up and Ben McDonald was our 'ace.' Let's just hope Segura, Gomez, and Peralta continue to develop and we can blow the cartridge out next season.
PS: Two questions I've seen being tossed around: #1-If Braun is guilty, and the Brewers could just walk away from his contract no questions asked, would they/should they? And #2- If you could go back and give all of Braun's money to Prince and make him the face of the franchise, would you? I know, two question with a TON of variables, but for the sake of conversation two points worth pondering.
Double PS: Braun did slip in my man crush coach's poll. Rodgers now goes from '1A' to just '1.' Eric Church now sits at 2, Tom Selleck at 3 and Linda Hamilton at 4.

Four veterans were honored in Mesa Thursday. These courageous men were at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese launched a surprise attack on Dec. 7, 1941.
Now these vets are getting a chance to fly above the skies of Arizona!
These four veterans received a special honor flight at the Commemorative Air Force Museum.
Secretary of State Ken Bennett was on hand as they shared their memories from Pearl Harbor.
"Every time a plane would take off, somebody would holler under the pool table," said Lambert Modder.
"I'm just happy that I'm still alive, walking around, enjoying life," said Nelson Mitchell.
The four veterans boarded a restored World War II plane known as the Sentimental Journey. -- a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.
"I'm an ex-airline pilot in civilian life.. Pearl Harbor.. I was flying a BBY out of Catalina flying post," said Jack Holder. I've had a lot of time in a B-24. I've never been in a B-17, but it's an honor just to be invited."
The museum honored these courageous servicemen who fought to preserve our freedoms.
Thursday's honor flight over the deserts of Arizona was a small gesture of appreciation to these men for their service.
"Flight was really nice. A little noisy, but then you didn't have your mufflers," said Modder.
"Flight was amazing, it was very loud and we stayed at low elevations so you could see a lot," said Bennett.
It's all part of a weekend of events for Veteran's Day -- just another chance to take a sentimental journey.
Events at the Commemorative Air Force Museum continue this weekend to honor our veterans. A dinner Friday evening, then the Gathering of Legends on Saturday. A cadet memorial event is scheduled for Sunday.

Though the Rockdale and Heritage swim teams didn't have any top-16 finishes to secure team points at last weekend's Class A-AAAA State Meet at Georgia Tech, several swimmers had solid times in the preliminaries.
For Rockdale, the 400 freestyle relay team of Amir Munajj, Davis Foster, Matthew Bennett and Adam Scaffe swam in 3:38.23, the 32nd-fastest preliminary time in the event and five seconds better than the quartet's previous fastest swim. The Bulldogs also got a 32nd-place finish from the foursome in the 200-freestyle relay (1:36.54) and Munajj was 25th in the 50-freestyle (22.60).
Heritage had a pair of top-40 preliminary times in the relay events. The 400-freestyle relay team of Kate McCalley, Erin White, Betsy Potter and Arielle Gunderson had the 32nd-fastest time in the 400-freestyle relay (4:08.66), while Potter, McCalley, Gunderson and Kenzie Webb finished 37th in the 200-freestyle relay (1:51.71).

UPDATED: Improved CEMEX Bill Introduced By McKeon [1]
The fight to maintain Soledad Canyon as an unspoiled wilderness rages on, championed by Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon who introduced the Soledad Canyon Conservation and Management Act (H.R. 4332) on the floor of the House today.
This new legislation aims to resolve a mining dispute between the City of Santa Clarita and CEMEX USA. It both mirrors and improves upon the Soledad Canyon Mine Act, a bill that was introduced in April 2008 and involved a complicated exchange: if CEMEX abandoned its mineral rights to the property in Soledad Canyon near Acton, the Bureau of Land Management would make 5,000 acres of property available in Victorville, which CEMEX would then sell to the city of Victorville for redevelopment projects.
That legislation never came to a vote, held back by funding and support roadblocks, but the parties involved never let down the cause.
"We've addressed the concerns expressed by the Sierra Club and cleared up some of the technical aspects of the bill and involved the County of San Bernardino as well as the city of Victorville because some of the land was in the county area," explained Bob Hauter, McKeon's Deputy Chief of Staff. "This legislation directs the Bureau of Land Management to give the right of first refusal to Victorville and San Bernardino County and establishes a trust administered by the BLM to purchase any leases."
Protecting Soledad Canyon has been an ongoing struggle. The City of Santa Clarita has dedicated funding in each year's budget to the campaign, including a $196,000 line item in the 2009-2010 budget.
"After years of collaboration and deliberation, I'm pleased to announce the introduction of an enhanced legislative proposal that fulfills the needs of Santa Clarita and CEMEX, while also benefiting Southern California," said McKeon. "With the help of the City of Victorville and the County of San Bernardino, we have reached a good agreement. From here, I will begin the intricate process of shepherding the measure through the federal legislative process."
McKeon's legislative proposal would require the Secretary of the Interior to immediately cancel two 10-year Soledad Canyon mining contracts that CEMEX has with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, thereby ending the possibility of large-scale mining at the Soledad Canyon site.
"The City Council is deeply appreciative of Congressman McKeon's perseverance and diligence in crafting thoughtful legislation that reflects the needs and environmental concerns of his district," said Santa Clarita Mayor Laurene Weste.
Under the legislation, the Secretary of Interior would determine the fair market value of the cancelled contracts and would sell BLM lands near Victorville. No mining would be allowed on these lands, and sale from the proceeds would compensate CEMEX for the cancellation of mining contracts.
Furthermore, the Act allows the Secretary of Interior to acquire environmentally-sensitive California lands for preservation. The land that would be sold under the legislation was carefully selected to ensure no environmentally-sensitive lands will be sold for development as part of this bill.
"We're pleased Congressman McKeon has once again taken a leadership role in advancing legislation that offers a positive solution to the City and CEMEX for the Soledad Canyon project. We are eager to work with the Congressman, California's Senators, the City of Santa Clarita, and others in pursuing its success in 2010," said Gilberto Perez, President of CEMEX USA.
In 1990, CEMEX leased the rights to mine Soledad Canyon for sand and gravel from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. The City of Santa Clarita and CEMEX announced a truce in February 2007 and agreed to seek a legislative solution that would result in an acceptable outcome for all parties. The Soledad Canyon Conservation and Management Act is the product of this close cooperation and the desire for a mutually agreeable solution.
Hauter was quick to admit that this legislation is not a "slam dunk" to pass. the Congressman's staff plans to work over the holidays to circulate the bill to all members of both the House and the Senate in hopes that hearings can be scheduled in February when Congress gets back to work.
"We wish or hope that one of our senators would carry companion legislation in the Senate," Hauter said. "We're willing to spend the time trying to put together a coalition of support, but we know this will be an uphill battle. "

Signup for Conservation Cost Share
(For Rural Radio Network)
Applications are now being accepted for 2013 conservation cost-share funds through the North Platte Natural Resources District. Cost-share programs are available to landowners in Banner, Garden, Morrill, Scotts Bluff and southern Sioux Counties for soil, water and range conservation improvements.
Applications can be submitted between March 25th and April 5th at USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offices in Scottsbluff, Bridgeport, and Oshkosh. According to North Platte NRD manager Ron Cacek, this year's applications will be accepted on a first-come first-served basis and limited to one application per landowner.Â
The Conservation Cost-Share Program reimburses cooperating landowners for a portion of the costs of installing conservation practices on their farm or ranch. The NRCS provides technical assistance to the landowner for the installation. In most cases, the cost-share rate is 50 or 65 percent of the actual or average cost (whichever is less). Maximum annual payment per landowner per practice is $3,000. Applicants must receive approval from the North Platte NRD Board of Directors before beginning work.
Eligible practices include windbreak planting (65 percent cost-share rate) with a minimum of 300 trees planted; irrigation water management (50 percent) to conserve ground water and surface water by improving water use efficiency on irrigated lands; and planned grazing systems (50 percent) to reduce erosion and improve water quality by maintaining or improving plant cover for increased forage production, enhanced wildlife habitat, grazing uniformity, and water use efficiency.
Other eligible practices include terrace systems (65 percent); livestock water facilities (50 percent); irrigation tailwater recovery pits (50 percent); grade stabilization structures (65 percent); diversions (65 percent); grassed waterways (65 percent); range seeding or pasture planting (65 percent); and stream bank stabilization (65 percent).
For more information, contact your local NRCS office or the North Platte NRD in Scottsbluff at (308) 632-2749. You can also visit our website, www.npnrd.org.

Is going to the gym with others a good thing?
- It may help you be more motivated.
- It may help you feel good while you exercise.
- It may make you more responsible.
Well, to me, it isn't. Why?
- It makes it harder for me to focus on actually working out.
- It distracts me.
- I waste way longer time by waiting / synchronizing pauses between exercises to have a chance to talk than I gain anything else.

Demand for Increased Satellite Poses Potential Issues for Australian NBN
Australian national broadband network (NBN) builder is currently facing potential difficulties of providing fast services to distant regions as the current interim satellite arrangement's popularity climbs up.
Australians both in remote and rural areas are utilizing the satellite for broadband speeds of up to six megabits per second (Mbps) download/one Mbps upload.
In a statement, Australian NBN Co Chief Mike Quigley said that the demand for the interim service is already ahead of projections, and that if take-up carries on, a gap will arise between the capacity available and the 2015 launch of the satellite.
In order to prevent the potential setback, NBN Co plans on looking at giving the full interim service before the launch of the two satellites, which are valued at $620 million half a year apart in 2015.
"There is a very limited amount of (satellite) capacity over Australia for broadband service," Mr. Quigley added. "We have already bought a large chunk of what was available."

Contingency Planning
Recent volatility in the wholesale funding markets has highlighted both the importance of sound liquidity risk management practices and the fact that financial institutions can and have experienced liquidity problems even during good economic times. As a result, a bank management's ability to adequately meet daily and emergency liquidity needs while controlling liquidity risk through risk identification, monitoring, and controls is receiving increasingly intense regulatory scrutiny. To meet the new demands of liquidity risk management, banks have evolved new techniques.
Banks should have a formal contingency plan of policies and procedures to use as a blueprint in the event the bank is unable to fund some or all of its activities in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost. Industry experts generally agree that these crises tend to develop very rapidly. Their onset is no longer measured in days but rather hours.
A comprehensive contingency funding plan can provide a useful framework for meeting both temporary and long-range liquidity disruptions. A good plan should emphasize a reliable but flexible administrative structure, realistic action plans, ongoing communications at all levels, and a set of metrics backed by adequate management information systems. Periodic testing of contingency MIS requirements ensures the availability of timely reports for rapid decision-making.
Excerpt from: The Changing Character of Liquidity and Liquidity Risk Management: A Regulator's Perspective, by Paul A. Decker (April 2000).

G66 Oilers at Sharks
The Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks first met early in the 1991-92 season. San Jose was an expansion team with a 1-15 record and the Oilers were 18 months removed from their 5th Stanley. No contest, right? Right.
Do you remember Esa Tikkanen? Holy man he was a character. If you didn't see Esa, this is a nice introduction.
Tikkanen was an ass. He really was. I loved him, even when he played elsewhere. Tikkanen was an actual hockey player and he could mark his man very well, score goals, and agitate like an old time washing machine. He was so unique I can't really give you a modern comparable. Esa Tikkanen drove his teammates crazy!
The thing about Esa Tikkanen is he could play.
Among the young Oilers the guy with the most spirit is Taylor Hall, but you don't want him engaging in this sort of thing–he's going to be injured enough just skating around trying to score goals. Tyler Pitlick is the most obvious answer via the draf, and Ben Eager holds down some of the position but there's no one on the horizon who can do was Tikkanen did those years ago.
Is finding another Tikkanen too much to hope for?

DETROIT -- A dispute is escalating over a statewide educational system for schools with the lowest academic performance that started in Detroit.The Detroit Board of Education voted Tuesday night to withdraw from the Education Achievement Authority.The action comes after Michigan voters' repeal last week of the state's emergency manager law.State-appointed emergency financial manager Roy Roberts is in place for the Detroit Public Schools district. His office says the agreement for the statewide system remains.The system got its start this year, taking control of 15 Detroit schools. The Detroit board, however, wants control of those schools back in the Detroit district.Meanwhile, a hearing is Wednesday in a state lawsuit seeking to remove the majority of the Detroit school board.

Wood is a versatile construction material. It has been used for thousands of years. It has low embodied energy compared to many other building materials, and it serves to sequester carbon. But, compared with steel, it is relatively weak, and that, combined with its inherent combustability, has meant that wood is we recommend levitra prescriptionsgeneric levitra sale not used for structures more than a few stories tall. Now, a new development in wood construction called cross-laminated timber (CLT) is making new possibilities available in wood construction.
Cross-laminated timber panels are like massive plywood boards. Instead of shaving a log into a veneer and no perscription viagra then gluing it together to make a board a few eighths of an inch thick, a CLT panel is made from pieces of sawn wood and is several inches thick. Like plywood, alternating layers are laid perpendicular to one another, so that the finished panel is stronger and more dimensionally stable than plain wood would be.
Because the panels are many inches thick, there is an inherent fire resistance to the material, which, in the event of http://eatingdisorderrecovery.com/get-pharmacy a fire, will char on the outside but will not burn through quickly. Construction with CLT is also faster and requires fewer workers and lighter equipment, which can make construction more affordable.
The Stadhaus is a 9-story residential building in London which was built using CLT and is the tallest modern building constructed with wood. At present, CLT is primarily a European development, but fabrication plants are under construction in the US, and CLT panels should start to female cialis pills be available within a couple of years.

Child abuse hearings begin todayBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | June 03,2014
MONTPELIER — The recent deaths of two toddlers have spurred several investigations into the state's laws and policies and have sparked public outrage about how the Department for Children and Families has performed its duties.
But the extent of the challenges faced in Vermont runs even deeper, said Essex County State's Attorney Vincent Illuzzi, who said many abuse cases don't involve DCF and the majority never make it to the public domain because "most of them are protected by the cloak of confidentiality."
The department has been heavily scrutinized and castigated by the public after the deaths of 2-year-old Dezirae Sheldon, of Poultney, in February, and 15-month-old Peighton Geraw, of Winooski, in April. Both children were involved with DCF when they died, and both had been returned to their homes after being in the department's custody.
A third child, 22-month-old Mason Keithan, died in St. Johnsbury on Saturday. Vermont State Police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said in a news release Monday that an autopsy revealed no signs of physical trauma, but the cause and manner of death are pending a final autopsy and toxicology report. There has been no indication the boy was involved with DCF.
There are several ongoing investigations, including criminal proceedings in both the Sheldon and Geraw cases, and an independent review of DCF. A special legislative Committee on Child Protection including members of both the House and Senate kicks off a public hearing tour today. The committee will hear directly from Vermonters in nine locations over three days.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, meanwhile, has called for a series of major changes within DCF. He has asked Human Services Secretary Douglas Racine to deliver a plan to restructure the agency this summer and has pledged to add more caseworkers to help address a growing caseload.
But efforts to protect Vermont's children must extend beyond the department, Illuzzi said. Child abuse cases that do dribble out into the media and public involve criminal charges or death, Illuzzi said. Many others are never made public.
"A lot of these cases never make it into the press because it has to generate a criminal case," he said. "You have to prove who did it. You have to figure out when it happens, and you have to figure out who had access to the child. It's easier said than done."
Illuzzi said there is an open investigation in Essex County now that involves a brain injury suffered by a baby under the age of 1. Additional information is not public, he said, but he did say DCF is not involved.
"Shaken babies doesn't sound very traumatic, but it really is," Illuzzi said. "It can cause a lifetime vegetative state, developmental disorders."
Similar cases are investigated around the state but because they cannot be proven are never made public, according to Illuzzi.
"A lot of the cases, the kids, the babies, are sustaining serious, traumatic injury and are impacted for the rest of their life," he said. "But you're not going to learn about that because there's no criminal charges and there's no death."
"There's no question that the public is unaware of it because (those involved) are shielded under the confidentiality of family court," Illuzzi added.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Sears, D-Bennington, the co-chairman of the special committee, said lawmakers hope to learn how widespread problems are.
"That's part of what we're probably going to hear as we go around the state," he said.
The special legislative committee will meet in Chester, Manchester and Rutland today, followed by St. Albans, Winooski and Middlebury on Thursday. The committee completes its hearings June 10 in St. Johnsbury, Morrisville and Montpelier.

Biographical Sketch
|My research traces the transformation, especially into the modern era, of long-term historical patterns in Korea. Questions of modernity, comparative history, and historical memory interest me in particular. I always attempt to situate the significance of specific events and phenomena in the larger scope of historical development. I am currently completing a monographical study of the origins, meaning, and concept of the modern state in Korea from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

Yael & Birgitte's Norwegian Kitchen
Small Cool Kitchens 2013
Like this entry? Favorite it below!

- Yael

- Bergen Norway

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- Two years after moving to Norway (from Vancouver) and moving into our rowhouse apartment, we were tired of complaining about the awkward kitchen layout and decided to renovate. One of the things that makes our small kitchen really cool is that we did a lot of the renovation work ourselves - but we did pay for kitchen installation, which took twice as long (and cost twice as much) as expected because the walls in our 1930 apartment are so crooked, even after new framing and drywall. After all that work, though, everything is exactly how we want it!
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.
- One challenge was that before the renovation, the layout made it challenging for us both to work in the kitchen at the same time. The oven/stove top was around a corner but too close to the sink, and the fridge was way in the corner. Now the oven/stove top is surrounded by long counters on either side, and the sink and fridge are close to each other. Another challenge is getting it totally finished! We are in the process of choosing tile and we still have not mounted the three "floating" wood shelves in the corner next to the upper cabinets (we lost two of the finicky little screws we need).
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?
- Burrito bowls! Sauteed red peppers, onions and sweet potatoes; refried beans; chopped lettuce; homemade avocado/tomato/red onion salsa; cilantro; all on top of brown rice.

Love the lit up shelf and the wood topped piece with drawers. Excellent job!
I love the look of this kitchen. It is open and not cluttered. The color scheme is my favorite. That particular blue with the white and wood makes this my dream kitchen. Your floors are nice too. Can you describe them for me? During our ongoing renovations we find that our 1950's house in Texas continues to shift often and everything is crooked. It is the price we have to pay for character. I like everything here. This is my favorite of all the International kitchens. Great job!

Update, April 16, 0900 PDT: Reuters moved this story this morning about EADS options dwindling away.
DOD Buzz has this analysis on why EADS needs a partner.
Original Post:
Reuters just moved this report that L-3 is probably out as a potential partner for EADS in a possible KC-X tanker bid.
This sends EADS scrambling for alternatives.
Reuters also reports that political pressure may have had a hand in Northrop Grumman's decision to withdraw and that political issues may be involved in L-3's apparent decision to withdraw from consideration.
If true, if political interference is at work, "incendiary" won't even begin to cover the fall-out that could come from this.

Health of harbor depends on you
Published on Wed, Aug 12, 2009 by
Geoff Menzies, Drayton Harbor Community Oyster Farm Manager
Read More
The Puget Sound Restoration Fund (PSRF) and the Community Oyster Farm have played an important role in helping to restore water quality and oyster farming in Drayton Harbor since 2001.
Unfortunately, the Washington State Department of Health has recently determined that it is unsafe to harvest and consume shellfish from Drayton Harbor during the wet season (November through February) due to runoff of bacterial pollution from livestock and human waste.
As a result, Drayton Harbor will be entirely closed to oyster harvest during this period beginning this fall.
However, it is safe under most conditions to eat oysters from the Community Oyster Farm site that are harvested from March through mid-June or thereabouts.
The fund feels that it is important to maintain a presence of oyster farming in Drayton Harbor during this period in order to support new and ongoing efforts to control pollution problems, but we need your help. Having completed many seasons of direct oyster sales on the docks in Blaine and local sales to seafood retailers and restaurants in Whatcom County, we hope to form a Community Supported Aquaculture (CSA) operation. CSAs have been used for small-scale agriculture for many years. The concept is that shareholders (oyster lovers) invest upfront in the farm through payment to the fund.
Each investor gets a return during the harvest season in the form of fresh Drayton Harbor yearling oysters, equal to their level of investment. For example, if you invest $200, you will receive 25 dozen oysters during this time period. Investors will order online and we will have them bagged and tagged for you at the dock in Blaine on a weekly basis. If you are interested in becoming a shareholder supporting this effort and receiving Drayton oysters on a regular basis in the spring for the next three years, let me know by Sunday, August 16.
We envision a minimum shareholder entry level of $100/ year ranging up to $500/ year. We are just accepting pledges right now, not payments. We need a minimum amount of pledges in order to support the expenses to operate for this three-month long period. For more information, visit
Please consider joining the growing ranks of Drayton Harbor oyster lovers and help to keep oyster farming and clean water a thing of the future, and not just a thing of the past. Call or email me today if you need additional information or would like to invest at 384-9135 or
. The return on this investment is delicious.

Salem - With the help of the unlikely pairing of indie pop duo Mates of State and jousting celebrity Charlie Andrews, a benefit for a young Salem girl in need of a double-lung transplant more than doubled its fundraising goal this weekend.
Joseph F. Newman, managing director of Treasure Hill Farm, where the benefit took place, said "Tilt Against Cystic Fibrosis" raised $8,500 by Sunday, far exceeding their $4,000 goal. More than 500 people showed up for a jousting clinic hosted Saturday by Charlie Andrews of National Geographic Channel's "Knights of Mayhem" and Sunday's festival, featuring games, food, and of course, Mates of State.
It was all for 10-year-old Athena Grey, who was diagnosed at 4 weeks old with cystic fibrosis and is in need of a double-lung transplant.
A press release from Treasure Hill Farm said the proceeds will go toward easing Athena's family's financial burden during the transplant.

On an unadjusted basis, the Producer Price Index for finished goods increased 4.8 percent in 2011 after rising 3.8 percent in 2010.
From November to December, prices for finished goods decreased 0.1 percent (seasonally adjusted), following an increase of 0.3 percent in November and a decrease of 0.3 percent in October.
The December decline in finished goods prices is attributable to decreases of 0.8 percent in the indexes for finished energy goods and finished consumer foods. By contrast, prices for finished goods less foods and energy increased 0.3 percent.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — December 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-12-0060. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

The heart of the modern reef external filter systems is the protein skimmer. Protein skimmers are used to remove dissolved organic carbons (DOCs), soluble proteins, peptides, complex carbohydrates, lipids, pigments and myriad of other substances released by the livestock. The chemical process that make it effective is based on the principle that certain molecules (organics & various pollutants) in the marine aquarium water are attracted to the surface of air-bubbles. Many are the differences between commercial skimmer but, the key one is for sure the air injection system.
Traditional Venturi skimmers operate by pushing water at high velocity into a reaction chamber through a "Venturi injector", they usually require a big water pump to provide the volume and flow rate necessary for drawing air into the water stream and they produces quite large bubbles.
Shredding impeller protein skimmers use smaller pumps fitted with a special air-shredding impeller to mix air and water. They normally produce smaller bubbles size than Venturi thus favoring a "larger surface area to volume ratio", to maximize protein adsorption but, with a significantly reduced water circulation due to the use of less efficient impellers.
After intensive test we introduce on the market a series of skimmers which set-up a completely new standard in protein skimming.
Elos Natural Skimmer is our interpretation of the Venturi-driven protein skimmer, with some modifications to drastically improve its efficiency thanks to the reduced size of bubbles, the significant increased contact time, a better water circulation and the implementation of the double counter-current chamber.
We have defined it "Top Down Injection System" (TDJ®), a patent of our company that have permitted us to achieve far better results than model with similar size available on the market.
TDJ® system base its superior efficiency on four key different moments:
Injection: polluted water is mixed with air though the special "variable geometry injector". This is a calibrated injector specifically design to maximize the incorporation of the air into the water. So treated the water is than injected, from the top of the reaction chamber (not from the bottom as on conventional skimmers) in the Main Reaction Chamber where the reaction take place.
Secondary injection: thanks to the Top Down Injection, the pump generates an high pressure stream of water, injected downward into the Main reaction chamber where, again, it sucks air into the water and break the air up into thiner bubbles causing extra turbulence and, again inducing extra mixing of water and extra thiner bubbles like having a second injection.
Counter-reaction: proteins with lower specific weight than water are the first to flow upwards through the internal chamber. Solids become attached to the already protein-loaded gas bubbles and also flow upwards. Where, again, they encounter the water flowing from the Top Injector and so they can be picked up again and again by the gas bubbles and broken into smaller bubbles.
Expulsion: only after several contacts with air finally pollutants are passed into the collecting cup, as a highly concentrated foam.
This principle is much more effective than Venturi double chamber skimmers as well as modified impeller skimmers (of bigger size) not only for the protein expulsion but also due to the long remaining time of the substances and protein inside the skimmer which get faster oxidate.
Small size: if compared with competitor products
High oxidation capacity: thanks to longer bubble contact time
Practical: thanks to the possibility to position the pump and the exit as preferred
High efficiency: skim off more protein than any similar skimmer available on the market
Small consumption: thanks to the use of small pumps
Ozone safe: completely build up with acrylic
Easy to service: in contrast to needle wheel impeller models, it uses a commercial pump much easier to repair
Easy to clean: the collection cup can be removed with one hand
Easy to regulate: non need to carefully regulate the water/air flow
Filtering capacity : 2000-4.000 Lt (550-1100 gallons)
Height 650 mm (25.61 in)
Diameter Ø ext.chamber 200 mm (7.87 in)

LOVEI love this stuff, for how long it does last, the price is not expensive at all, i have now been using this for 7 months and i am NOW almost out. i use it every morning and night. the packaging kindof sucks, but its not hard to get around by using a q-tip to scoop the product out(which is what i have been doing) i have very oily skin. but when i bought this my skin was SEVERELY dried out. i had dr...read morey flaky patches all over my face but mainly concentrated on my cheeks, under my nose and chin area. they were very sore and some got so bad they would bleed. i tried every moisturizer i could to try to get rid of the dryness (along with exfoliation) but i had no clue what to look for because i had never had this problem before(due to my very oily skin) this product alone did not cure my dry, flaky skin, but it did help and it did not further irritate skin. i really like this stuff and i continue to use it every day, my skin absorbs its very quickly which, for me, is a plus because i have to leave early in the morning and i can wear it under my foundation without it being too oily or greasy. overall, i will be repurchasing this product again, because of how long it has lasted me and i truly believe it helps in my skincare routine :) — 1 year, 2 months agorouxblonde | 92 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
It's hard to believe that it has been almost exactly four years to the day since the 2008 Saleen S5S Raptor Concept made its public debut at the New York Auto Show. It went into the show strictly as a concept, but that didn't stop hopefuls claiming that it could have hit the market soon after. We never imagined reporting on it again four years later, but here we are.
Since the 2008 New York Auto Show, Saleen has faced its fair share of controversy and cut-backs, as the once prominent Ford Mustang tuner went quiet before announcing that it was solely focusing on parts and accessories. Thankfully however, with Steve Saleen now being able to use the Saleen name in future models after a bitter legal dispute , the 63 year-old has announced that he has ambitious plans to create a successor to the incredible Saleen S7 .
Saleen hinted that a future model could be based heavily upon the S5S Raptor, and we don't blame him, as its styling looks as futuristic and aggressive as ever. Sure a few tweaks here and there would have to be made to the external styling, but we don't see why Saleen would have to mess with the stunning looks too much.
While speaking to Autoweek, Saleen stated "That's still a part of our plan. The S5S is still in our planning." We're honestly not sure why Steve has decided to come out now and speak about this possible supercar, but we're over the moon as it could mean yet another American-born car to compete with the likes of the equally impressive SSC Tuatara and Hennessey Venom GT .
When the S5S Raptor was originally introduced, it featured a 5.0-liter V8 engine pumping out an incredible 650HP and 600lb-ft of torque. As a result, it could launch to 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and continue accelerating to in excess of 200 mph, and those performance times are still mighty impressive nowadays.
It's unclear just when the S5S Raptor could hit the production line, but don't expect any more than 20 or 30 to be produced with each likely to cost well over $1 million.
