Plans have been submitted for $4 million worth of capital improvements at the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.
A building permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement calls for interior demolition and infill of approximately 17,500 square feet of an existing floor at The MED, 877 Jefferson Ave.
Flintco Inc. is the contractor for the project. Upgrades include drywall, acoustical, flooring, mechanical, plumbing and electrical.
The MED, one of the nation's three busiest trauma centers, is also undergoing a $20.7 million renovation and expansion of its emergency room, according to Memphis Medical Center literature. In addition, the hospital is renovating and building out 88,000 square feet in Turner Tower – a $30 million project that will add 10 inpatient rehab beds and create new outpatient ambulatory surgery unit by December.
The MED's Downtown campus sees 16,000 inpatient visits, 50,000 emergency room visits and 130,000 outpatient visits each year. Rick Wagers, chief financial officer of The MED, recently told The Daily News that the hospital "would like to … replace the vast majority of our campus over a five- to 10-year period in order to make it more patient- and family-friendly."
The many capital improvement projects already completed in the past two years at The MED include streetscape and parking lot improvements; renovation of the emergency department and waiting area; upgrades to security and trauma treatment rooms; conversion of all double bedrooms to single bedrooms; installation of robotics in the inpatient pharmacy; new roofing; and fresh internal and external signage.

About 7 percent of Tennesseans previously receiving jobless benefits have been dropped for failing to verify that they were searching for work.
That's according to an audit by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
New rules that went into effect on Sept. 1 require Tennesseans receiving jobless benefits to document at least three job searches a week.
In the first seven weeks of enforcing the new law, random audits of 6,164 people found that 402 failed to verify their weekly job searches. They lost their benefits, at least for that week. Since then, audits of another 3,147 recipients found 226 failed to meet the requirements.
State Sen. Jack Johnson was a sponsor of the bill. The Franklin Republican said the requirements already have saved the state's Unemployment Insurance fund more than $100,000, helping the employers who pay for the program.
Job searches can include completing job applications or interviews or mailing resumes to employers.
Tennessee pays a maximum of $275 a week for those who lost a job through no fault of their own.

It's pretty twisted stuff. Not only is Suzanne Collins's creation sacrificing the lives of 23 people to maintain order in her world a hot mess, but she has that lottery be sampled from a pool of 12-18 year-old boys and girls. The tributes, as they are called, train together for two weeks, fly to the "arena" together, then are separated before surfacing on the periphery of a giant circle lined with mines. Oh, and the best part, it's reality television and entertainment for the rich people of the capital. Oh, and there's a tote board with the winning odds for each tribute. Yeah, sick and mesmerizing stuff. Oh, and they broadcast the images of recently slain into the sky so you can see who just died.
The odds of winning are about as strong as breeding a Derby winner. Imagine a world where rich people cheer on tributes in a circular arena where there can be only one winner. As in the case of the "Hunger Games" it was a dead heat with Katniss and Peeta, kind of like Brother Derek and Jazil in the 2006 Kentucky Derby … if Katniss and Peeta were to finish fourth.
The other character is Elizabeth Banks's Effie Trinket. Who is that? and why am I strangely attracted to her? She, of course, played Marcela Howard in "Seabiscuit".
There's a third character and, wait, no, there's no mistaking it, that's Woody Harrelson playing a damn fine drunk. The parallels to horse racing are everywhere, just everywhere.
Katniss ended up being the favorite to be the last one standing after the teenagers and pre-teens slaughtered each other, and, according to one Todd A. Pletcher, Union Rags is the Katniss heading into early April.
"I would say that Union Rags would be a one seed, Gemologist would be a one seed, Hansen would be a one seed, and Creative Cause would be a one seed," he said during an NTRA teleconference.
The Wood Memorial gets Gemologist, an undefeated son of Tiznow, your classic one seed, and possibly No. 2 overall.
As Effie Trinket might say, "May the odds be ever in your favor."

|Drug: Didanosine Drug: Efavirenz Drug: Lamivudine Drug: Standard TB treatment
|Not Applicable
TB is the most common serious infectious complication associated with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa and is also the most common cause of death among HIV infected patients in developing countries. Furthermore, TB in an HIV infected person accelerates the progression of HIV disease and hastens death. This study will evaluate a combined TB and antiretroviral treatment (ART) strategy utilizing DOT in HIV infected people coinfected with TB. This study will compare two treatment strategies: TB and HIV medications given concurrently (integrated arm) and TB treatment completed first, followed by HIV treatment (sequential arm).
This study has two parts. The entire study will last 24 months after participants have been randomly assigned to one of two arms. Arm 1 (integrated arm) participants will receive didanosine (ddI), efavirenz (EFV), and lamivudine (3TC) once daily concurrent with standard TB therapy. ART and TB medications will be provided through DOT on weekdays; participants will take their medications without DOT on weekends. Arm 1 participants will also attend four 15- to 20-minute sessions of an adherence study program at study start, Week 2, Month 2, and 1 to 3 weeks prior to the end of TB therapy.
Arm 2 (sequential arm) participants will first receive DOT-provided TB treatment alone. After completion of TB treatment, participants will receive ddI, EFV, and 3TC once daily without DOT.
Study visits in the first part of the study will occur at screening, study start, Weeks 1, 2, and 3, and every month until the end of the first part of the study at Month 12. Study visits will include blood collection, medical and medication history assessment, a physical exam, and pill counts. Patients will be asked to complete an adherence questionnaire at every study visit and a sexual behavior survey and quality of life questionnaire at study start and Month 6.

10 Functional & Flexible IKEA Products for Small Spaces
IKEA is known not just for their affordable and stylish home products, but also for fabulous solutions that work wonders in small spaces. Want a compact list of ten of our favorite good-looking and functional items from IKEA that we think make the lives of those who live in small spaces better? Find it after the jump.
This, of course, is a pared down, plenty-of-great-options-not-mentioned list, so feel free to chime in below in the comments to share what products you've found at IKEA that have worked wonders in your small space. But do consider writing these down on your shopping list for your next IKEA trip in case one might do just the right job in your small space!
1. EXPEDIT Shelf, $99. Great for storing basically anything, it can go up against the wall in any room, but it also makes a great functional room divider in studios. See it in action in this post: Using a Bookcase as a Room Divider.
2. KOMPLEMENT, $7.99. IKEA claims this affordable multi-use hanger can organize 28 different accessories, but we bet clever small space dwellers could come up with more ideas! A great way to fit more into tiny closets, bathrooms and other spaces.
3. KNIPSA basket, $14.99. IKEA offers plenty of baskets for general organizing; we like this one because it could easily fit on shelves to corral items, but it's also sort of sturdy looking enough to stand-alone on the floor or next to a sofa or bedside. You could even hang them on the wall to stack towels in as we've seen before. And their earthy material looks great with lots of styles.
4. SKÅDA shoe rack, $19.99. Don't just pigeonhole this rack made with bamboo for just shoes in a closet (though it does that so well). It works wonders in an entryway or a closet for storing boots and more, but this versatile and low piece could go just about anywhere to store stuff stylishly. See how an IKEA shoe rack makes for a gorgeous closet in Jesica's Mix & Match Studio.
5. RÅSKOG Cart, $49.99. This cute colored cart has proven its worth over and over again, showing that it can be handy and attractive in any room of your home. And its compact footprint means it can squeeze into any tight spots.
6. TOBIAS chair, $79. It's functional seating that doesn't take up a lot of actual or visual space, making it perfect for task, dining and occasional seating in small spaces. See an example in Jacqueline's Bright & Airy West Village Studio.
7. BYGEL rail, $2.99. James from James' Beautifully Handcrafted Apartment in Clinton Hill shows how some metal rails from IKEA can completely organize a compact kitchen. But again, these don't just have to be for the kitchen. Hold towels in a bathroom, jewelry or scarves in a bedroom or even magazines in the living room.
8. GRUNDTAL magnetic knife rack, $14.99. Will free up space in your drawers, but it's not just for knives and it doesn't just have to go in the kitchen!
9. EKBY HEMNES/ EKBY HENSVIK wall shelf, $29.99. A functional blank slate. You can use as many as you need, anywhere you need it. And you can even customize it to match your wall color if you're looking for a more custom, camouflage look. Different shelves, but see how small shelves can really customize and transform a really small space in Chelsea's Tiny Personality-Packed Room.
10. GODMORGON mirror cabinet, $150. The priciest item on our list today, but worth it. Everyone knows that a mirror placed in just the right spot in your home can reflect light and make a room feel expanded. So why not add a little storage, too? Definitely popular for bathrooms, don't limit yourself to just that room though.
So like, this list isn't near complete! We know you've got your favorite space-maximizing IKEA product that's perfect for functioning in small spaces (maybe even yours!). Won't you tell us your favorite below in the comments?

About Xenophorge
Will how much profit they made be in this report?
Real world example:
EA pulled Crysis 2 off of Steam, yet I can still install and play it from Steam. They only took it off the store, but they support and give me the game I paid money for. Even took the time to make it a seamless transition for me. It doesn't point me to Origin (like I bet EA would want it to), it just installs and goes, with not a problem to be had.
So that's what happens when Steam loses a game. Nothing at all.
What debate? Nonsense spouted, nonsense ignored. If you honestly wanted a debate, you most likely could start one. The above posts are far from any attempt.
The spin is always amazing. What's more amazing is the amount of people who fall for it. A person can be a saint, but one slip up somewhere's and your "enemies" will use it against you in the worst way. Create the bias now, and steer anyone who doesn't know any better towards the way they want them to.
It's alright Mike, most of us regular readers know what third-party liability is.
That's the litmus test right there.
If your system slows down, everyday after school, for the first 2 weeks of the month then yes, caps are working.
If your system slows down, everyday after school, then caps are useless.
Well, with the feds saying "we're done with it now, go ahead and empty the recycle bin" already I honestly wouldn't be surprised
Go ahead, take that thought to the next step. Might as well shut off the internet, since we all know that's the best way to get virus's. While you're at it, you should cut off your head so you won't get dandruff...
Google doesn't stop you from going to a site, it just lets you know what it knows. Microsuck wants to be not only judge but jury, deciding that nope, you can't go to that site for your own good.
And how much does one want to bet that their own network is very secure?
Kinda makes you want to reach out and choke someone. And it wasn't even my taxes being used.
I do not satire on a boat
I do not satire with a goat
Exactly what I would do. You show me yours, I'll show you mine.
The enemy's gate is down, wink wink, nudge nudge, knowwhatImean, knowwhatImean?
In the same vein, I wonder when they'll start pushing for the radio in my car to need an extra license, since it might be -shock- used to listen to music on. Free music, no less, or freely given at least.
Hmmm, what happens when some enterprising young people come up with the idea of putting dentists in hotels? Do they cancel each other out?
On a side note, I've had to travel a bit for work, staying at various hotels. For the life of me I can't recall ever hearing any music, most likely because it was "muzak" and easily ignored anyways. Can't see how it add's any value.
You might be saying that jokingly, but that's exactly the truth. I don't follow any media, I only look for what I want as I want it (and in with today's offerings, I don't want much). First time I've heard of that movie too.
Ok, honest assessment here. Never heard of this guy. I check out his site, he's got a preview. I honestly didn't think his stand up was all that great. Good, I've heard much worse, but not breaking me up.
Then at the end he's going "What, you didn't like that clip? Come on! I know there's something else in there you'd like" and that sold me. I dropped my $5, I might get around to watching it eventually, I really don't care about the material. It's the way he went about it, that was a very very human pitch, and it worked on me at least. I'll support the idea, and hope the man luck.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
My hat goes off to the writer of the Dec. 17 letter to the editor, "Learn how to use highway on-ramps." I wrote the same type article a few months ago. At least I know there is one other person who knows what "yield" means.
I did notice that these individuals do slow down when a truck is in the right lane doing 60 to 90 miles a hour. I'll bet some are the same drivers on Sullivan Trail who do 60 miles per hour in the 40- or 30-mile-per hour areas.

Oh, yeah, now that I remember, they do recommend nights going later into the evening...But I thought that was quite a bit of hyperbole, especially since I'm a fast reader. I'm sure that's the case at some points, but not the norm. Eventually, you simply run out of helpful things to do.
When I started school, 10 pp of a casebook was like 25-50 pp of a general humanities book in college (like, back when you had to read one book a week). Not quite as bad as Absalom, Absalom (10 pp of that in the same time as it took to read 100 pp of And The Band Played On, no *&^%), but legal reading takes f-ing forever. That said, I do think LSC overstates the case. But maybe I'm just not living up to my potential. Always a possibility.
Anything in Middle English or any non-Shakespeare Ren Drama, with the exception of Marlowe (who's awesome). I believe it took me approximately thirty hours to read Ben Jonson's "Volpone" and I still had no idea what was going on.Reading Faulkner is a skill, IMO. Some people are naturally good at sort of skimming his nonsense, or keeping up with the long sentences. I actually liked The Sound and the Fury after the first of four parts. Pretty much everyone else hated it.Also, As I Lay Dying FTW. My mother is a fish and all that.
While on the subject of older English literary works: Chaucer in the original Old English has to take the cake, IMHO.

8CN: So far, the newest addition to the Sonic series seems a little lackluster, but maybe this new gameplay trailer will change your opinion. If you were a fan of Super Mario Galaxy, you might dig Sonic: Lost World.
Will it be in 3D? Sonic Generations is, arguably, the best use of 3D in gaming, so far.
ive outgrown sonic, sad to say... id deff play sonic adventures2 tho.
anyone that says that this gameplay video dont look fun its sure not a gamer.Im 40 and this kind of fun never gets old.

TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Review
Many remember the 80's as I do. It was a time of big hair, bright clothes, and parachute pants. Back in the day, you could pick up your monstrous boom box, walk down the street, and be the envy of all your friends. Well those times have passed, so suck it up–every one else did, and it's now time to move on. Music has become a lot more portable than throwing some "D" batteries in your ghetto blaster. With companies making headphones and headsets with 7.1 capabilities, like the TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphones, consumers can enjoy an incredible surround sound experience at home and on the street.
TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphones offer both the ability to run on your computer and with your MP3 player, but is it overkill? Do you really need this kind of power in a headset? Well let's see how things play out. Maybe the TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphones will have you tossing out your boom box and picking up a more compact music experience.
Closer Look:
The TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphones packaging isn't the most eye-catching or cutting edge design out there, but I will say it is functional. The packaging has all the specs, along with some of the more impressive features listed; like the use of USB for a more realistic 7.1 experience. It also shows the use of a battery pack to keep that 7.1 experience when you are mobile.
The TekNmotion Pulsar SX PC Gaming Headphones come with a battery pack, software, USB cable, audio/mic cables, and detachable mic. Everything you would need for your MP3 and PC listening needs.
Let's get a better look at this thing up close and see what bonuses it has compared to standard headphones.

Mad Homes: Houses Turned Into Installation Art
Four homes slated for demolition have been used as blank canvases for thirteen Seattle artists to create one-of-a-kind site specific installations. What will you experience as you make your way through these homes? Well, all I can say is expect the unexpected.
This past weekend marked the opening of the three week long exhibition "Mad Homes" in the North Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Before these former living spaces are torn down to make way for a new housing development (that being a whole other issue in itself), the people of Mad Art are giving an incredible opportunity to a few emerging artists.
From entering a home packaged in saran-wrap and ready to ship, to walking into rooms covered in old clothes, to ducking and weaving through red pulling straps laced through every surface you will have an incredibly unique experience making your way through these art installations.
I look all day at how to design your home in new ways and how to incorporate art and decor into your living space, but what if you had the entire house to use as art itself? What would you do? What kind of experience would you want to create for your audience?
Having free range to make art at this scale doesn't come around that often. This is the kind of work that inspires me as an artist. If you are in, or will be visiting Seattle before August 7th you just might want to stop by "Mad Homes" for a little happy insanity.

YORK, PA - The game time for Saturday's Capital Athletic Conference men's soccer championship has been set for 2:00 pm as the York College Spartans will host the University of Mary Washington Eagles at Graham Field.
The Spartans enter the game looking to capture their fourth straight Capital Athletic Conference title. In their way stands the University of Mary Washington and the Eagles know a little bit about winning as title as UMW has a conference high eight CAC men's soccer titles. The Spartans have six titles overall and a victory today will tie them with Salisbury for second all time on the CAC men's soccer championships list. York, Mary Washington, and Salisbury are the only three schools that have won conference titles in the 21 year history of the tournament.
The Spartans earned their way to the title the tough way. After downing St. Mary's at home on Saturday, the Spartans earned a wild 4-3 double overtime win over Frostburg State on Thursday evening. Senior Antonio Bua registered two goals, his eighth and ninth of the season, in the win over the Bobcats. Senior Matt DeLong found the back of the net for the first time this season while freshman Brendan Saberton saw his first game action since October 6 and tallied the game-winning goal 3:33 into the second overtime to propel the Spartans to the title game.
Mary Washington earned a 2-0 win over Marymount in the tournament's opening round before edging top-seeded Salisbury 1-0 in double overtime in Thursday's semifinal game. David Heller scored off a save rebound 105:30 into the game to send the Eagles to the championship tilt.
For the season, Bua leads the Spartans with 18 points on nine goals. Junior Taylor Brummitt is next in line with 15 points on seven goals and one assist. Austin Johnson (12 points), Eli Bjerk (11 points), Saberton (11 points), and Daniel Baxter (10 points) are the other Spartans in double figures for the year.
Senior Jesse Derksen is 13-2-2 in goal as he has a 0.55 goals against average and a .842 save percentage.
Tommy Sangbouasy lead the Eagle offense with 18 points on seven goals and four assists. Patrick Kelly has added 13 points on six goals and one assist. The Eagles have outscored their opponents 26-19 for the campaign.
The winner of Saturday's game gains the CAC's automatic bid to next week's NCAA Tournament. The tournament field will be announced on Monday at 1:00 pm on the NCAA.com website.

ReleasesBack to
John Abercrombie
Tackling his own material, with nary a vintage standard within earshot, Petrucciani combines his assertive, driving, mainstream piano with two different trios on two separate occasions. The first half of the program features the hard-swinging combination of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Roy Haynes, augmented on "One For Us" by the slightly withdrawn guitar of John Abercrombie. The second half finds bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Al Foster providing somewhat smoother, perhaps more conventional support, occasionally with a Latin twinge, and Abercrombie and percussionist Steve Thornton sit in on one number apiece. Petrucciani's compositions are certainly worthy pieces, but as always, the pianist's direct, intelligently probing solos leave the source material way behind; he's an improviser through and through. ~ Richard S. Ginell

Date: Oct 26, 2012
Press Release Number: 148-2012
Agency is on High Alert in Advance of Anticipated Coastal Storm Early Next Week
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is making preparations in advance of the anticipated landfall of a significant coastal storm early next week, which forecasters say will bring hurricane force winds, heavy rain, record high tides and coastal flooding to the region.
The agency will have a full complement of staff at all of its transportation facilities to ensure that the hundreds of thousands of customers who use them each day can be safely accommodated during this severe weather event. The agency also will activate its emergency management office to monitor the changing weather conditions.
In addition to closely monitoring changing conditions and conducting regular briefings internally, the agency is coordinating with the governor's offices in New York and New Jersey, the New York City mayor's office, the New Jersey State Police Office of Emergency Management, other external stakeholders and the Federal Aviation Administration, which controls air traffic.
To prepare for major weather events, the Port Authority conducted a major coastal storm tabletop exercise in May and a Hurricane Preparedness Webinar in July in conjunction with the National Weather Service. In addition, the Port Authority has conducted four full-scale drills in the past two months at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport, the Bayonne Bridge and AirTrain Newark to prepare for emergencies. The agency also has held several first responder orientations at its facilities in the past 12 months.
As the storm approaches, the Port Authority strongly advises airline passengers to check with their carriers on the status of their flight. In the past, airlines have cancelled flights in advance of forecast storms. The agency strongly urges customers not to go to the airports unless they are certain that their flight will be departing.
At the Port Authority's five airports, officials have begun taking precautions including securing any outdoor loose materials and notifying tenants and lessees to do the same; checking and clearing all storm drains and roadway gutters; servicing and fueling all vehicles, generators and pumps; preparing and placing sand bags and preparing traffic control equipment such as cones and barrels.
In addition, all Customer Care Representatives are preparing for irregular operations through vigorous training and experience dealing with previous storms. They are able to provide assistance with basic items (water, diapers and baby formula) for any passengers who may be stranded. And under terms of the agency's concession contracts, at least one food vendor in every passenger terminal must remain open 24 hours so that food is available any time of the day or night.
Workers in the agency's Tunnels, Bridges and Terminals Department are reviewing high wind procedures and readying for potential traffic restrictions or closings. All sumps and drains are being checked and sump pits are being pumped down in anticipation of the forecasted heavy rainfall. And plans are being made to bring in a full complement of police, operations and maintenance staff this weekend in advance of the storm. At the Port Authority Bus Terminal, staff is coordinating with all of the terminal's bus carriers to determine their service plans in the coming days.
On PATH, crews are preparing to combat potential flooding with sandbags and the use of pumps throughout the system, including the deployment of trailer-mounted portable diesel pump that can be used inside PATH tunnels if necessary.
The Port Commerce Department has advised its maritime terminal tenants to take necessary precautions, which include placing sandbags at the base of cargo doors to minimize water intrusion, securing and covering cargo stored outdoors if it cannot be transferred to sheltered areas, and securing cranes, barges, warehouse doors and yard equipment. Contractors also are being asked to secure any equipment on job sites.
The World Trade Center staff notified contractors to secure construction sites and take precautionary measures including tying down and securing material and loose debris at construction sites; storing loose tools; and securing netting, banners, scaffolding and sidewalk sheds. Engineers also are implementing plans to secure cranes against the storm's winds, while crews are preparing to use pumps, sandbags and other measures to stem flooding.
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Chris Valens or Steve Coleman
Founded in 1921, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey builds, operates, and maintains many of the most important transportation and trade infrastructure assets in the country. The agency's network of aviation, ground, rail, and seaport facilities is among the busiest in the country, supports more than 550,000 regional jobs, and generates more than $23 billion in annual wages and $80 billion in annual economic activity. The Port Authority also owns and manages the 16-acre World Trade Center site, where construction crews are building the iconic One World Trade Center, which is now the tallest skyscraper in New York. The Port Authority receives no tax revenue from either the state of New York or New Jersey or from the City of New York. The agency relies on revenues generated by facility users, tolls, fees and rents as well as loans, bond financing, and federal grants to fund its operations.

Who's really welcome at IAC 2012?
At the closing of this year's conference, President Obama delivered an enthusiastic video message, welcoming "all" delegates to the capital in 2012. In reality, however, strict U.S. travel regulations ban two groups heavily impacted by HIV -- sex workers and drugs users. The restrictions, if left unchanged, threaten the conference's efficacy as a forum for all, further disenfranchising two of the major populations it claims to serve.
One option the committee may explore, according to Phill Wilson, executive director of the Black AIDS Institute and a member of the Conference Coordinating Committee, is to lobby the U.S. to change immigration law before 2012. That's no small task, however. "To be honest there's not a chance in hell," that such a change would happen, said Wilson.
A second option involves moving the conference to a nation with looser travel restrictions. "Logistically that would be very challenging, almost impossible," said Mats Ahnlund, IAS executive director and a member of the planning committee. Having the conference in the U.S. has huge advantages -- more media will attend and more high-powered politicians will pay attention. Many would be loathe to change the venue now. "In the bigger picture, this is where the important research is, this is where the money is," said Ahnlund. "We might get a more efficient response if we're in the U.S.A., and we know that."
The third option -- and what appears most likely to occur -- involves the U.S. issuing waivers for conference delegates who acknowledge sex work or drug use on their visa applications. But this not a solution, said Kelli Dorsey, the executive director of Different Avenues, one of the four sponsors of the Katabira letter. By answering honestly on their U.S. visa applications, these individuals "will have the equivalent of an international tattoo" marking them as sex workers or drug users. While they will be permitted to enter the U.S. for the conference, they then must return to their countries and accept the consequences of this label. Many will risk persecution, even death.
More than 100 groups have signed Dorsey's letter requesting a change in conference locale.
She suggests removing the questions about sex work and drug use from the U.S. visa application altogether. "The bottom line is, if there are demographics that are so disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS, and they may not be safe getting into the country or leaving the country after, then the conference needs to moved," she said. "It's a human rights issue."
Conference coordinators have faced visa challenges in the past. According to Ahnlund, government hosts of the last four conferences (Thailand, Canada, Mexico and Austria) have done "their utmost to make it possible for everybody to come to a conference." In Vienna this year, just 1.4 percent of those who wanted to attend were turned away for visa reasons.
A call to the U.S. State Department yielded little information about U.S. willingness to issue waivers.
"It would be difficult for the department to answer any theoretical or hypothetical actions, as the conference is two years away," said spokesman Darby Holladay. "We don't do theoretical."

VERGENNES — Habitat for Humanity of Addison County has big future plans for the Little City.
Those plans are being made possible by the Oct. 16 purchase of four Booth Woods building lots from the Raymond Danyow Family Trust. And the sale came at a price that Habitat officials said will make it easier for the nonprofit to turn around and sell volunteer-built homes to Vergennes-area working families at an affordable cost.

MIDDLEBURY — Two local nonprofits are joining forces to ensure affordable housing will continue to exist at 51 Seymour St. in Middlebury.
MIDDLEBURY — Habitat for Humanity of Addison County celebrated the completion of its eighth home at a dedication ceremony on Saturday, Feb. 13. The cold weather was no match for the warmth inside as new homeowner Karen Holbrook, together with her three children, thanked all those who worked so hard to help her reach this goal. Attending the event were many friends and family members, as well as Habitat volunteer builders and board members.
MIDDLEBURY — Karen Holbrook was making her regular commute from Bridport to her job in Middlebury several months ago when she heard something on the radio that would change her life.
It was a news spot from Habitat for Humanity of Addison County (HHAC) seeking applicants for a new home that would soon be available in the South Ridge subdivision off Middle Road in Middlebury.
She was excited, but a little apprehensive.
CORNWALL — Kayla Selleck will have an extra special story to tell her 6-week-old daughter, Zoey, if she ever asks about the origin of her family's Cornwall home.
"I was out working (on the home) the day before I delivered her," Selleck said on Thursday.
It was all part of the obligatory "sweat equity" that Habitat for Humanity home clients pay into the construction of their homes, which are built with volunteer labor and low-cost supplies to produce affordable abodes for people of modest means.
CORNWALL — Angela McCluskey had grown tired of seeing her son Jonathan turn in for the night on the living room couch in their small apartment while she and her daughter Caitlin got to sleep in beds.
So McCluskey took what she believed was a long shot: She applied to become the owner of one of four new Habitat for Humanity homes to be built within a 13-acre subdivision off Cornwall's Delong Road.
CORNWALL — Habitat for Humanity of Addison County (HHAC) is ready to break ground on the town of Cornwall's first-ever affordable housing subdivision, a project off DeLong Road that will eventually accommodate four families.
"There will be a lot of busy activity down (at the project site), hopefully within the next couple of weeks," said Bruce Byers, who co-chairs the HHAC's capital campaign with fellow board member William Biederman.

text: I've been bike-less for the last few years and purchased a R1150GS. First test ride was 550 miles to home from Chicago, IL where I purchased the bike. I've had street bikes in the past but never something I could take off pavement. That's something I'm really looking forward to.


text: Fresh faced and naive, 17-year-old Bennie arrives in Buenos Aires to search for his older brother who has been missing for more than a decade. The family had emigrated from Italy to Argentina, but with the great musical success of their father Carlo, an acclaimed symphony conductor, the family moved from Argentina to New York. When Bennie finds his brother, the volatile and melancholy poet Tetro, he is not at all what he expected. In the course of staying with Tetro and his girlfriend Miranda, the two brothers grapple with the haunting experiences of their shared past.

Look! Rooftop Succulent Garden
Low, almost flat plantings seem like the perfect choice for this deck, where every inch of the view is worth a gaze. The layout of the beds, along a path that extends from one end of the house to the other (from Bay views to city views), encourages wandering. We lost track of time enjoying the wide variety of succulents, among them a few of our favorites, like the flat dinner-plate aeonium, and the variegated "hens and chicks" with its sunset colors. Grasses add an interesting contrast in texture.
For a roof garden, where drainage is inevitably an issue, drought-tolerant succulents are an excellent choice. Most of the plants here appear to be installed right in their plastic pots, set very close together and disguised with moss; we're not sure if this is because it's a temporary installation, but it seems like a great DIY idea for a renter!
You can see more of Suzman & Cole's work online, and of course if you're inspired to try something similar at home, Apartment Therapy's archives contain a wealth of succulent inspiration. (Okay, so we might be a bit obsessed.)

Salt Lake City's got its fare share of dudes on boards–the city's basically bursting at the seams with 'em. But to let all these riders meld together into one giant image of a kid front-boarding a rail in tight jeans and a striped sweater just ain't fare. So, in an effort to battle stereotypes and help you actually get to know some of the cast and characters of the SLC snow-pro scene, we introduce Mr. Jon Kooley. A Salt Lake resident by way of Alaska, Kooley has made his mark on the shred world over the past few years filming with Mack Dawg and more recently Kids Know, as well as being tall and technical, mellow and positive.
How old are you?
Who are your sponsors?
Santa Cruz, Holden, IS Design, Celsius, Coal, MiloSport, Lifetime, Union Bindings and Level.
Why do you live in Salt Lake?
The mountains are awesome, and the fact that the city gets snow is really sweet, too.
What's growing up riding in Alaska like?
The scene was really small, but we had a tight group of friends. The ERC; that was my crew. We would go up almost every day after school and shred. It was only night riding, but those were some of the best times.
If you had to describe your riding style, what would you call it?I don't really know, fun! I just like to do what ever is fun.
Who were your early influences?
So many people, for sure the ERC is number one. Jesse Burtner was a really big influence. Then all the people I'd see in the movies. JP Walker, Jeremy Jones, Mikey LeBlanc, I definitely look up to all of them.
Who are your favorite people to ride with now and why?
Justin (Hebbel), Mikey, Seth (Huot), Jeremy, JP, Chris (Demolsky), Jordan (Mendenhall), Mitch (Nelson), the Holden crew. I just really get along with them and they push me.
How hard is it to get a good film part together?
It's so hard! I had no idea the work that goes into a video part. It's fun, but you definitely need to be motivated and willing to put in some time.
Is snowboarding becoming wacker or cooler with the passage of time?
I don't know, I think that snowboarding is really sweet right now, but I think it was at its best in like '95 or '96. I have no real reason for thinking that — I just liked the movies back then.
What's the scariest thing you've ever done on your snowboard?
Everything and anything: if the camera was out, chances are good I was scared.
Do you consider yourself a pro snowboarder?
Yes, I do. I don't really feel like I'm ever being told what to do, but there is definitely a lot more to being a pro snowboarder then just snowboarding.
What's filming with the Holden crew all about?
My favorite thing about filming with the Holden crew is just everything, I get to ride and film with my friends, and all the filmers are awesome, too. My least favorite thing is the fact that we can never decide on where we want to go.
Who's video part from over the years do you most admire or wish was yours?
Man, that's a tough one. I think that out of all the videos, Jeremy Jones' part in Shakedown is the one I admire most.

MILWAUKEE, May 31 (UPI) -- Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond said Friday an agreement had been reached that will make Larry Drew the team's next coach.
Drew will replace Jim Boylan, who served in an interim capacity after the Bucks fired Scott Skiles in January.
"We are pleased to reach an agreement with Larry Drew to become head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks," Hammond said. "After a thorough search and interview process, it was clear to us that Larry's track record in Atlanta, along with his experience as an assistant coach and player, make him the right choice to lead our club."
Drew coached the Atlanta Hawks the last three years, putting together a 128-102 record. The Hawks lost in the opening round of the playoffs each of the last two seasons after making it to the Eastern Conference finals in 2011.
He also has been an assistant coach with the Hawks, New Jersey Devils and Washington Wizards. Drew played 714 games in the NBA with four teams after being selected in the first round of the 1980 draft by Detroit.

A sense of accomplishment is in the air. Today is the first anniversary of ALS. Wow an entire year. What brought me, lil ol' Afrocity to create this blog in the first place? In short, after not quite fitting in at The Confluence and not quite fitting in at Little Green Footballs (which turned out to be a liberal blog disguised as a center right blog or some strange experiment in blogger as evil puppet master), I decided to get my own diggs.
Shedding a political spouse, in my case the Democratic Party, required some solitude and space to explore my values. What do I really want for my country? What causes are worth fighting for? I had to ask myself these things because for so long I played in the liberal sandbox watching my pals kick down castles of military defense, christian values, parental rights and all sorts of things that really mattered to me. Externally, I muttered yeah "fuck the military!", "burn that flag" , "sure the government owes blacks" but internally, especially as I aged, I winced at mostly everything liberals stood for with the exception of women's rights. Compassion and equal opportunity for all is something I can agree with. I had it in me to be a good liberal, however I also had it in me to be a better conservative.
There is a difference between being a compassionate person and an enabler. Liberals have a tendency to dramatize the human condition, particularly that of minorities and any one they see as down-trodden. When you just spend, spend, spend money- tax dollars- on "compassionate programs" , you have to take a step back in order to see if those programs are really helping anyone or are they enabling a persistent problem to turn into a generational saga. Let's take welfare programs for example and you know how I feel about those.
One of the reasons I am against government assistance is because I grew up on it. And yes, it fed me, kept me adequately healthy, but did it advance me or my mother? No. Did it pay for my prom dress? No. Prom was a big deal to a 17 year old girl. How would the $250 government check pay for my prom gown, my hair appointment, my #352 pink dyed shoes to match my dress and my jewelry? The answer was, it would not. Mother went looking for dresses at the Salvation Army store, meanwhile Afrocity began looking for a job. This image of one of us actually working was a bit much for my mother to handle, "you know they will cut us off, " she warned.
I did not care, I had a date with a Victor Costa gown at Nieman Marcus. School by day, working until 1am as a hostess at a Mexican restaurant was tough. In retrospect, it was dangerous to take the bus home so late at night. My school work was neglected B's morphed into C's. One night I was so tired, I fell asleep with the curling iron still rolled in my hair. When you are young, you can put up with a lot and my first paycheck made all of the trouble worth it. My first paycheck- that I earned for my work. Money not for nothing but for something I did besides being black and poor. I came to a particular understanding that my mother had yet to achieve. Welfare may let you survive but it doesn't let you live. Maybe I got the job out of necessity. I had a need that a welfare check could not fulfill. I had a dream about a dress but what about my life beyond the dress? What happens when welfare will not pay for your dreams?
Republican candidates would appear on television, right away before they could speak several words, my mother would shout, "They are only for the rich people, they want to cut welfare and programs in order to hurt blacks." Funny how our lives did not improve much under Jimmy Carter. Funny how mother's life did not improve much under Bill Clinton, until she was forced to get a job because the conservative state of Texas would not let her draw a government check just for being her wonderful self.
In working, she began to buy nice things, take me to lunch, actually act and behave as mother. When she lost the job, she lost her sense of self again. Being 65, by that time, the government was there waiting for her to pick up the pieces. Back she went to waiting for their check. When she died, she had not more than $345 in her bank account. I reported her deceased and the government took back $325 and left her with $20. Why was I angry? True, it was Uncle Sam's money to give to her and she was dead. However, could he not at least left her with some dignity and money to be buried with? He left her with what she came to him with…Nothing. Nothing at all but her life and the clothes on her back.
The reason I created this blog was to chronicle the thoughts and feelings of a reformed liberal. To some degree I am still evolving. One of the problems some of my critics have with me is my ability to be so compassionate and pathetic, yet turn into a brutal critic of the Obama administration. A lot of people, especially those of color call me a self-loathing Auntie Tom who has sold out. They think I am really a liberal and delusional on some level about my move towards conservatism. I have struggled this year with the enormity of my exodus from Donkeyville. People especially, PUMA's have posted and gone. Once friends are now distant acquaintances in the political blogosphere.
Am I happier now having left the Democrats? Oh definitely yes. That party is unrecognizable to me. This country and the direction it is moving in is unrecognizable to me.
Am I a well rounded conservative? Oh definitely, no. I remain pro-choice. There are many things to admire about the pro-life movement but a woman's choice is a woman's choice and she should always have the freedom to make that choice.
As this blog continues, I am always hoping to attract people who are willing to hear and understand both sides of an issue.
Before you can help people, you have to first listen to them. This simple practice is something that is severely lacking in the Obama administration and among many compassionate liberals.
Give people what they need, not what you think they need. Give people the ability to help themselves, not a lifetime sentence to be helped by you. You cannot wave a magic wand and expect to end world hunger, wars, pain, sickness, global warming and paper cuts using other people's money. Your reward will be debt, depression and a lowered moral among those who actually do contribute to society.
You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Autographed Letter Signed on this our 1 year anniversary,

His & Hers Pendleton Wool Coats
Added Mar 21, 2011
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
Our Creative Director Alison has an obsession with "his & hers". As a result, she and her fiance Dane have been musing over creating a unisex collection for quite some time. For him, we used our Amin men's sweater pattern, substituting wool for knit. For her, a vintage-inspired swing coat, eliminating the belt pattern for a relaxed silhouette. They set up their tripod at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch at Grand Army Plaza for the shoot.
Thanks to Pendleton Woolen Mills , the epitome of unisex cool woolen fabrics and blankets. Are you a fan of Pendleton? Follow their Facebook page.
Material Notes
His: Light-weight Wool: 1 3/4 yard (1m 60cm) Ribbed Knit: 7/8 yard (80cm), Zipper
Hers: 150 cm (59 in) wide light-weight wool: 2.05 – 2.05 – 2.10 – 2.10 – 2.10 m (23/8 yds). 150 cm (59 in) wide batiste as lining: 1.40 m (15/8 yds) for all sizes. Vilene/Pellon G 785. 5 snaps.

Beautiful coats! The His one looks kind of like these:http://www.kraffs.com/62913/Native-Bomber—Leather-Jackets.html
I LOVE Pendleton wool. They have so many beautiful fabrics.
Mar 25, 2011, 08.48 PMby jenyjenny
Great article and comments. I love the beautiful coats, and the wool is heavenly gorgeous! Thanks for the ebay heads up, I will check it out!
Mar 23, 2011, 08.29 PMby leashbean
could you and your fiance be more adorable!?!?!? holy hot kids!
the jackets aren't too bad either… i love all of your ideas alison! now i should make my boy and me something matchy!
Mar 22, 2011, 08.15 AMby sandrasews
So adorable! I'm keen to make my own now. Just wanted to know, how much extra fabric is needed for pattern matching? I think I might make an order from Pendleton!!
Mar 22, 2011, 02.30 AMby bekabug8
I love your version of both coats. For the Amin, did you have to make any changes to the pattern like add ease because it is a woven instead of a knit?
1 Reply
Mar 22, 2011, 02.53 PMby alisondahl
Hi there— The short answer is no, we didn't add ease. The original Amin pattern has enough ease already, and the "knit" used for the original design wasn't actually stretchy.
Mar 21, 2011, 10.20 PMby emily-marie
That wool is just perfect with both patterns. I made the 3/4 sleeve coat in a camel wool and love it to pieces… this makes me want a few more!

Mar 21, 2011, 05.27 PMby wzrdreams
Excellent choice of fabrics. I've tried to find this and some of the other patterns shown on Burdastyle on the Pendleton website but they don't seem to have them, or atleast in these colors. Is there any other place you can suggest to purchase their lovely wool?

Mar 21, 2011, 10.02 PMby alisondahl
We'll look into the best source for ordering Pendleton wool online for you. Have you seen Pendleton's Ebay Shop? There are quite a few 1-2 yard remnants listed there.
Mar 21, 2011, 05.08 PMby dixiediy
very cool! awesome fabric, too. love that print and it works so well for men and women.
Mar 21, 2011, 03.54 PMby peaudane
So pretty and dreamy in those colours! Could you tell us how you went about adding that seam for the pockets?
1 Reply
Mar 21, 2011, 04.28 PMby alisondahl
Hi peaudane— The seam where the pockets sit is included in the pattern download— the only changes I made to the pattern was to eliminate the belt loops and belt.
