Filling Up the Cabinet
Transition is in the air: the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times all lead with reports that Barack Obama, under pressure to fill a perceived leadership vacuum in the face of the global financial crisis, is to appoint Timothy Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as his treasury secretary. Obama's pick of a technocrat with a background in crisis management was welcomed by Wall Street: After reports of Geithner's selection, the Dow rallied in the final hour of trading to end up almost 500 points in a strong finish to an otherwise wretched week.
Today's other big story also comes courtesy of the Obama transition team: The New York Times leads, and the Post and LAT off-lead, reports that Hillary Clinton now seems likely to accept a job as Obama's secretary of state. Leaks suggest that the Obama camp is now confident that Clinton's nomination will not present any conflicts of interest and that—according to Clinton "confidants"—the New York senator is now willing to give up her seat and join Obama's star-studded Cabinet.
In the absence of action from Congress or the White House, Obama's rapid selection of Geithner as treasury secretary appeared intended to reassure jittery investors and provide a sense of direction. In that sense, analysts tell the NYT, the speed of the decision mattered more than the specific merits of the man Obama tapped to run the Treasury. "The most important thing for the market and for the economy is that these decisions are made and uncertainty is removed," noted one relieved investor.
Still, there's a broad consensus that Geithner has the chops for the job. He's something of a crisis-management specialist, having worked in the 1990s on bailouts of Mexico, South Korea, and Indonesia. More recently, he was an early critic of the arcane financial instruments at the heart of the current crisis, and worked closely with current Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on the Bear Stearns and AIG bailouts, as well as on the controversial decision to hang Lehman Bros. out to dry.
An IMF alumnus who once worked for Henry Kissinger, Geithner doesn't have close ties to Obama and is seen as politically independent. His appointment was welcomed by conservatives, and viewed with slight concern by some union leaders. Still, Geithner is perceived as the product of Clinton-era economic centrism, having worked closely with Clinton-era Treasury Secretaries (and Obama economic advisers) Lawrence Summers and Robert Rubin.
The NYT notes that Rubin protégés are likely to dominate the Obama economic team, which is expected to be rolled out in full on Monday: Rubin ally Peter Orszag is expected to become budget director, while Clinton-era budget director Jacob Lew is likely to head up the White House's National Economic Council. Summers—once seen as a front-runner for the Treasury job —is likely to stay on as a senior White House adviser, perhaps foreshadowing a promotion to chairman of the Federal Reserve when Bernanke's term ends in 2010, while Gov. Bill Richardson will become commerce secretary.
Obama is also moving to pin down the details of his security and diplomatic team —and it's looking increasingly likely that former rival Hillary Clinton will head up the State Department, becoming Obama's public face on the international stage. The pair spoke by telephone Thursday, reports the NYT. Obama reportedly assuaged Clinton's lingering concerns about access and personnel, leaving her inclined to accept the position. A Clinton spokesman said discussions remain "very much on track," although a formal announcement isn't expected until sometime after Thanksgiving.
The WSJ eyes the diplomatic problems Clinton would face in her likely new role; in an editorial, the paper calls Clinton's nomination "a clever, interesting choice", but says Obama's team of rivals could prove more trouble than it's worth. The Post notes dryly that installing Clinton at Foggy Bottom suggests the president-elect has "a tolerance for drama," but argues that the pick also speaks to his confidence and his determination to assemble an experienced, smart, and pragmatic group of advisers. The NYT argues that the appointment—along with Geithner's appointment to the Treasury and former NATO commander James Jones' likely selection as national security adviser—suggests that Obama will be a pragmatic, center-right president. "This is the violin model: Hold power with the left hand, and play the music with your right," notes one former Clinton official.
In other news, things are looking bleak for General Motors: The WSJ fronts word that some members of the company's board would be willing to consider filing for bankruptcy, a measure opposed by the automaker's chief executive. The NYT turns its attention to the Chevrolet Volt, which GM is currently touting as evidence that a federal bailout would be a sound investment: The plug-in hybrid is scheduled to hit showrooms in 2010, but some industry analysts say the expected $40,000 price tag means the vehicle will have only a niche appeal.
And finally … could piracy on the high seas help to rehabilitate neoconservatism? In an essay for the WSJ, historian Michael Oren compares the pirates currently wreaking havoc off the Somali coast to the Barbary buccaneers who attacked American merchants two centuries ago, and concludes that only U.S. military might can restore order to the world's shipping routes. "Addressing the threat of Somali pirates must be made a national priority while there is still time," he writes. "Much like terrorism, piracy, unless uprooted, will mushroom."

CONCORD, N.H. — In 2002, Kelly Ayotte was a 34-year-old state prosecutor when she was called into the office of Craig Benson, the newly elected governor.
Benson, a Republican, told her he needed a legal counsel, a job Ayotte appeared keen to land. At the close of the interview, though, Ayotte concluded on an unexpected note.

Colleen Neary will never forget the day when George Balanchine articulated the blueprint for her life's work. She was in her early 20s, then a respected New York City Ballet dancer.
"He put me in to teach company class," she says. "He said to me, 'This is what you will do in the future.' I said I wanted to dance, but he said, 'You won't dance forever. You will teach dancers my ballets."
Fast forward to 2013, to a rehearsal of Balanchine's 1941 "Concerto Barocco" at the Westside headquarters of Los Angeles Ballet.

Barry Takes Down West Florida To Advance To Altamonte Springs
May 8, 2010
Courtesy of Barry
MIAMI SHORES, Fla.--The second-ranked Barry Buccaneers punched their ticket to the finals in Altamonte Springs, Fla., with a 5-3 win over the eighth-ranked West Florida Argonauts in the finals of the NCAA Division II South Region-I Women's Tennis Tournament at the Buccaneer Tennis Center on Saturday.
Barry's Angie Werschel, ranked 12th, closed out the match with a 6-4, 6-3 win over #13 Paulina Ojeda at number two singles.
Both teams used different doubles combinations than their previous match, a 7-2 win for the Bucs on Mar. 10, but the one constant was the sixth-ranked pair at number one for Barry, Barbi Pocza and Yulia Kashelkina. The Bucs (21-3), who won in a tie-breaker in March, claimed an 8-3 win over Ojeda and Luiza Sonnervig when the Argonauts' number one team was broken up by an injury to Caitlyn Baines.
At number three, Barry's Berit Peterson and Mia Fiocca won 8-6 over Barbara Oliveira and Mariana Sonnervig, who had won their match in March.
At number two, UWF (10-8) picked up their only doubles point as Taylor Brewster and Jacqueline March nipped Werschel and Julie Stas 8-6.
West Florida came out strong in singles. Brewster posted a convincing 6-3, 6-2 over #40 Kashelkina at number three to even the match and Mariana Sonnervig gave the Agros a 3-2 lead with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Fiocca at number five.
Caroline Wendling evened the match for the Bucs by beating Luiza Sonnervig 6-2, 6-0 at number four and Peterson put Barry one point away with a 6-0, 7-5 win over March at number six.
In the unfinished match, Pocza lost a tiebreaker in set one, but responded with a 6-0 win in set two over Oliviera and ended tied 2-2 in the third set when Werschel closed out Ojeda.
The Bucs advance to the finals at Sanlando Park and will face the winner of the Nebraska-Kearney/Augustana (S.D.) match from the Central Region-II tournament.

Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.

If this place seems like a dream to you, then your instincts are probably right! For me, there is by far no other logical option for college. However, if you are a city person, you may or may not feel isolated in Durango, which is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Good bands do come through Durango, but those shows are few and far in between. If you want to go to big name shows, you probably have a long, but awesome drive ahead of you to Albuquerque or Denver. This isn't a big deal for me, especially because Durango has its own fair share of talented bands that play on Campus often. As well, Durango has multiple festivals throughout the year. The most recent one was a three day ordeal in the woods put on by students at Fort Lewis. Like all the shows I've been to in Durango, it was awesome. There's not too many shows in Durango, but when there are, people get down! And if you like classical music, then you are in luck because the local symphony, the San Juan Symphony is legit to say the least! As well, various world class musicians come to campus regularly. While the artists that play at the concert are probably not people you would listen to regularly, such as the Canadian Brass, you should still take advantage of all the shows that come on campus because they are always incredible. It's funny because for music majors, attending concerts is part of your grade, however, it would be a shame if you didn't go to some of these concerts.Read More

About SACCHOs
SACCHOs- A Valuable Resource in Today's Challenging Times
Here is an excerpt from the Spring 2013 Issue of NACCHO Exchange, about SACCHOs written by Winnifred Holland, MPH, MA, MLHC, Health Officer, Florida Department of Health, Clay County Health Department.
What is a state association of county and city health officials (SACCHO) and how does it benefit the local health department (LHD)? That question can be answered using many different examples of how SACCHOs provide LHDs with information, support, and education on public health issues. According to Jennifer Kertanis, former Connecticut SACCHO executive director and current director of health of Farmington Valley Health District, "SACCHOs provide a unified and strong voice for local health departments at the state and national levels and serve as a bridge between [the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO)] and local health departments." Thirty eight states have SACCHOs. Some SACCHOs have paid full-time staff, and others use local health officials and part-time staff to help LHDs share resources, work on grant initiatives, and collaborate on research activities.
Accreditation: SACCHOs are also working closely with their LHDs on accreditation activities. "Our state SACCHO has been instrumental in North Dakota and serves as a tremendous resource for sharing and furthering progress in many areas, particularly performance improvement and accreditation," said Tami Dillman, North Dakota SACCHO Director.
Mentoring and Leadership: The Florida Association of County Health Officials (FACHO) provides input to the state officials. FACHO also developed a mentoring program for new health officers. This program ensures that new health officers are connected with a seasoned public health professional that can assist the new health officer in learning all aspects of managing an LHD. In operation for less than a year, this initiative has been well received by the mentees (new health officers) and the mentors (seasoned health officers). This effort is coordinated by Marsha Player Lindeman, MPH, Health Officer in Franklin and Gulf County, and FACHO board member. "It is exciting to work with these new health officers and see them develop their leadership skills and be willing to take on additional roles both within the state and in FACHO," said Lindeman.
Interactions and Relationships: The challenges of being a health officer can be mitigated by having LHDs interact with other public health professionals experiencing similar issues. Just as NACCHO provides an opportunity for even the smallest health department to conduct an outstanding program or project by using the resources of a national organization, so too can LHDs learn from their counterparts within the state about what initiatives work best.
Advocacy: Advocacy at the state level is an important activity that SACCHOs perform to ensure that the voice of local public health is heard and understood in state legislatures. Educating and advocating for public health has an impact on funding and public policy that impacts services at the local level. SACCHOs are very well positioned to provide a strong voice representing both large and small LHDs. "One of the most important responsibilities of SACCHOs," according to Kertanis, "is getting input from the local officials and rallying their support on the state and national level."

HELSINKI – Finnish lawmakers have rejected a petition from more than 100,000 people demanding to repeal a law allowing same-sex marriage.
The move is considered a last-minute attempt to revoke the law that made Finland the last Nordic country to allow homosexuals to wed.
In Friday's 120-48 vote with two abstentions and 29 absentees, Finland's Parliament rejected a public petition demanding that marriage remain "a genuinely egalitarian union between man and woman" and calling for "repealing the gender-neutral marriage law."
In Finland, any petition with at least 50,000 signatures is automatically considered by Parliament.
Although same-sex couples have been able to live in officially registered partnerships in Finland since 2002, it wasn't until 2014 that Finland decided to approve same-sex marriage, giving couples right to share a surname and to adopt children.

What a Happy Friday! The sun is shining, the birds are singing (and probably crapping on my car), the work week is almost over, and we get brand new images from the upcoming 'Curse of Chucky', which will debut on DVD & Blu-Ray later this fall.
"Buried", "Frozen", "Phone Booth" and countless other horror/thrillers have tried their hand at the 'single location' genre as I'll call it. The genre is a problem in itself; relying exclusively on compelling characters, mysterious motives, or potential plot twists with the setting to provide exciting entertainment. For example "Buried" plays upon the charisma of Ryan Reynolds and his character's everyman plight. "Frozen" adds the wrinkle that the ski resort won't be open for another week and a blizzard is coming.
Jim Mickle's "Stake Land" will finally find it's way to VOD on April 22nd after a solid run on the convention circuit. The film is the follow up to Mickle's much adored "Mulberry Street" and has nothing to do with porter houses and a lot to do with vampires running around after the Apocalypse. Kind of wish there was some actual steak involved here.
For being so friendly the Swedes sure are a sick bunch of M'Fers. Proven completely by the new trailer for "Marianne" which has hit the tubes. The film tells the story of a father who's trying to cope with the loss of his wife, a couple daughters who hate him and the spooking happenings going on in his house. It's a real feel good hit.
It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger might be making his way back to Terminator land sometime soon or at least that's the hope. Seems Arnold is back in the ring for acting and Chris Morgan wants to kick the series back into gear so all signs are pointing to him... being back. Get it? Like "I'll be back"? That's what he said in the movies. It's funny. "It's not a tumor!"
Looks like Intrepid Pictures, who helped bring "The Strangers" and "Doomsday" to the world are lining up "Skeleton Creek" as their next flick. The movie is apparently a teen romp based on some books that I've never heard of but I guess the kids are gaga for them. It's a group of kids who come across a ghost while exploring an abandon gold mine. I'm pretty sure this was the basis of every live action Disney movie in the 70's. I hope Don Knotts is in this one.

Life insurance provides security for your loved ones, but deciding on a life insurance policy can be intimidating and confusing. But it doesn't have to be. Get a better understanding of life insurance with this Q&A and find out how much life insurance you might need.
What is life insurance?
There are many types of life insurance, but for all of them, the concept is the same: they pay cash to your family after you die, allowing your loved ones to remain financially secure.
Today, life insurance can do more than ever. Of course, there are some rules around how these policy features work, but having the option to use life insurance while you're living can ease your mind and financial burden if the unexpected strikes.
Why do people not have life insurance?
There are a number of reasons why people don't have life insurance, but here are three common ones:
Not enough money. If you're already living on a tight budget, it can be difficult to pay for a life insurance premium. Now's the time to realize even more that if your household finances are tight while people are alive and well, it will be much more difficult should one of you pass away.
I have a policy at work. Many employers provide life insurance for their employees, but it usually caps out at a relatively low level. Additionally, what if you lose your job? You might lose your life insurance, too.
Fear of death. It's common for people to not talk about life insurance because no one wants to think about their own death. In all reality, you will die someday, whether or not you have life insurance.
Unexpected Uses for Life Insurance
What types of life insurance are there?
We offer three types of life insurance – term life, whole life, and universal life. Each serves as protection for your loved ones, but differs in price and coverage characteristics.
Term life insurance provides protection for a specific period of time, hence the name "term." Term life insurance is purchased typically for 10, 15, 20 or 30 years and is designed for temporary circumstances and makes the most sense when your need for coverage will disappear, possibly when your children graduate from college. It's generally less expensive than whole life insurance, making it a popular choice for individuals and families in the prime of their life.
Permanent life insurance offers lifelong protection, which you can accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis. The cash value can be used for multiple purposes if you get in a tough spot. The one downside is that initial premiums are considerably higher than what you would pay for a term policy with the same amount.
There are two types of permanent life insurance: whole life and universal life. Whole life insurance premiums remain the same for life, and the death benefit and rate of return on your cash values are guaranteed. With universal life insurance, you can seek potentially better returns by allocating your fixed premiums among investment sub-accounts, typically comprised of stocks and bonds. Universal life insurance offers the flexibility of varying the amount of your premium payments, as well as other tax benefits.
What are the benefits of life insurance?
Life insurance's main goal is to ensure the safety and security of loved ones. Besides covering funeral costs, life insurance can be used for such things like the scenarios below:
Keeping the business in the family. Certain taxes may apply when passing a family business to the next generation, but life insurance can help cover these costs. It can help ease the tax burden on the future business owner and other family members.
Retirement. Certain types of life insurance policies build cash value over time that can be a form of income in retirement.
Mortgage/College. Life insurance can help protect your family from the obligations of making mortgage or college payments if your salary is no longer available to them.
Charity. You can also use life insurance to increase charitable giving in your community. Policy holders can have the opportunity to make a larger gift than would otherwise be possible by designating a favorite charity as a beneficiary on their life insurance policies.
Immediate Expenses
• Funeral costs
• Uncovered medical expenses
• Mortgage
• Car loans
• Credit card debt
• Taxes
• Estate settlement costs
Ongoing Expenses
• Food
• Housing
• Utilities
• Transportation
• Clothing
Future Expenses
• College
• Retirement
10 Life Changes to Tell Your Insurance Agent About
How much will life insurance cost me?
The cost of life insurance depends on your age, your health, and the size of the death benefit you want. The younger and healthier you are, the lower your premium will be. While everyone's financial situation is different, consider these facts by a 2016 Insurance Barometer Study:
• 1 in 4 people said they feel they need for more life insurance protection
• 9 in 10 agree that most people need life insurance…but only 60% have it
• Almost 90% of millennials overestimate the true cost of life insurance
How much life insurance do I need?
One of the biggest questions when talking about life insurance is how much will you need? Since everyone's financial situation is a bit different, there is no rule to tell you how much to buy. Is it $250,000, $500,000, $1 million or more? Each sounds like a lot of money, but when you have to pay for final expenses, outstanding credit card balances and other debt, the total can quickly add up.
As life changes, you should take inventory of your life insurance coverage. Take the next step to help protect your loved ones after you pass away and connect with a Farm Bureau agent to use our life insurance calculator.

"THE 46th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS" TO BE BROADCAST LIVE NOVEMBER 1
"CMA Country Christmas" Tapes November 3 at the Bridgestone Arena
The Country Music Association and ABC Television Network have announced that "The 46th Annual CMA Awards" will air THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
"The CMA Awards recognizes the best in the format – that's what makes this 'Country Music's Biggest Night,'" said Steve Moore, CMA Chief Executive Officer. "The CMA Awards is one of the most highly anticipated events for our industry each year. It's a night to honor our finest performers, songwriters, record producers, musicians and music video directors."
The 2011 CMA Awards was the No. 1 entertainment show for the week among the key advertising Adults 18-49 sales demographic. The special beat its nearest competition by 5.6 million viewers and by 26 percent in Adults 18-49, according to Nielsen. Held during November Sweeps (November 9), "The 45th Annual CMA Awards" on ABC dominated the night, winning all six of its half-hours in Total Viewers and Adults 18-49. With a primetime sweep, ABC finished No. 1 on the night in Viewers across all key demos, including Adults, Men and Women (18-34/18-49/25-54), as well as finishing as the top broadcaster with Teens (12-17). In Total Viewers (16.4 million; 17.49 Live+7) and Adults 18-49 (4.8/13; 5.2/14 Live+7), it was ABC's strongest Wednesday in two years, with an estimated 35 million viewers watching at least some portion of the three-hour, live gala.
The CMA Awards nominees and winners are determined by the 11,000 industry professional members of CMA, which was the first trade organization formed to promote an individual genre of music in 1958.
Winners of "The 46th Annual CMA Awards" will be determined in a final round of voting by eligible voting members of the Country Music Association. CMA Awards balloting is officiated by the international accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
The eligibility period for the 2012 CMA Awards is July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. All voting for "The 46th Annual CMA Awards" will be conducted online. The first ballot and instructions will be e-mailed June 25 to CMA members in good standing who are eligible to vote. Voting for the first ballot closes at 5:00 p.m., CT, on July 9.
The second ballot will be e-mailed to CMA members on August 9. Voting for the second ballot closes at 5:00 p.m., CT, on August 21. The final nominees in each of the 12 categories will be announced in early September.
The third and final ballot will be e-mailed to CMA members on October 4. Voting for the CMA Awards final ballot ends at 5:00 p.m., CT, on October 22.
Rounding out events during CMA Awards Week will be the taping of "CMA Country Christmas," Saturday, November 3 at the Bridgestone Arena, when Country Music's biggest stars come together to celebrate the holidays. The special airs on ABC during the holiday season.
Ticket information for the CMA Awards and CMA Country Christmas will be announced later this summer.
"The 46th Annual CMA Awards" and "CMA Country Christmas" are productions of the Country Music Association. Robert Deaton is the executive producer and Paul Miller is the director of both specials. Both specials will be shot in high definition and broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 channel surround sound.
The first "CMA Awards Banquet and Show" was held in 1967. The following year the CMA Awards was broadcast on NBC Television for the first time – making it the longest running, annual music awards program on network television. The Awards aired on NBC through 1971, on the CBS Television Network from 1972 through 2005, and has aired on ABC since 2006. ABC will be the network home of the CMA Awards and "CMA Country Christmas" through 2021.

"Make or break time" for eastern DRC after new peace plan, warns Oxfam
A framework for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo, due to be signed today, will fail to end the suffering of millions of people in the east of the country unless concrete actions are now taken to ensure leaders stick to the deal and tackle key issues of land, ethnicity and development, international agency Oxfam said today.
The agency said the agreement is a positive step at a critical moment, but falls short of what is needed to halt decades of conflict.
"The real deal will begin tomorrow in villages across eastern Congo where leaders must prove that this plan is more than a ceremonial piece of paper. Signing is easy – the hard work starts now. The crisis is worse than ever and it's good news that leaders have come together, but what happens over the next few months will make or break the deal. Many previous agreements have looked good on paper but never been implemented. There is a long way to go and a lot to do before this framework brings any change for people caught up in the conflict," said Philippa Crosland-Taylor, Oxfam's Deputy Regional Director.
Oxfam said that national civil society must play a key role in shaping the details as the process moves ahead, and holding their governments accountable to what they have signed. So far the framework has involved little or no civil society consultation. Oxfam also called for regular dates to be set where United Nations and African Union envoys report back to their security councils on progress and whether commitments are kept.
Oxfam said the new framework must reinvigorate the 2006 Pact on Security, Stability and Development, with a particular emphasis on tackling key local issues such the lack of development, tensions over land rights, and the complex power and ethnic dimensions of the conflict.
Communities in eastern Congo urgently need greater protection from the ongoing violence that has forced around 500,000 people to flee since April 2012. However, Oxfam said discussions on establishing a new Intervention Brigade within MONUSCO, the UN peacekeeping force, must bear in mind that previous military operations have often caused more displacement and retaliatory attacks on civilians, while failing to eradicate armed groups. Any new force must have strict guidelines that respect international humanitarian law and minimise civilian casualties, the agency said.
Notes to editors
Around 500,000 people have fled an increase in fighting in eastern DRC since April 2012, and more than one million people remain displaced across the Kivus region. Most are stuck in overcrowded camps or sheltering with families and face critical shortages of water, food and other vital aid. Oxfam is providing clean water, sanitation, public health and other community services to more than 120,000 people displaced by the most recent fighting.

2013-05-23 12:42:28 - General
Gina Sterk, a 2013 Coe College graduate, has been awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship grant. The Fulbright will provide funding for Sterk to teach in Mongolia during the 2013-14 academic year.
Sterk graduated from Coe on May 12 with a major in psychology and minors in English and Asian studies. During her time at Coe, she was involved in Psychology Club and served as a Japanese conversation partner. Sterk was also active in religious life, serving as a leader and mentor in her role as a peer minister. She was a member of the honor societies of Psi Chi, Strata, Phi Kappa Phi, Phi Beta Kappa and Mortar Board. In the larger Cedar Rapids community, Sterk was a tutor at the Catherine McAuley Center and a volunteer at Aid-to-Women and the Alternative Gift Market. Additionally, Sterk auditioned for and was selected to perform a 45-minute set of music that she composed as part of the Kohawks Live series on Coe's campus.
During the spring of her sophomore year at Coe, Sterk spent a semester on Coe's Asia Term, during which she traveled to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. While there, she took classes in language, culture and literature. Sterk also took advantage of the opportunities Southeast Asia provided her to teach English language in her free time. In Chiang Mai, Thailand, she volunteered daily at a school for Burmese refugees, answering students' questions and serving as a conversation partner. She was also involved with English teaching in Cambodia, where she spent two weeks working in the classrooms of an NGO called "A New Day Cambodia."
From these experiences, Sterk discovered that learning English is a gateway for many people throughout the world to improving the quality of their lives through better job and educational opportunities. She also discovered her passion for being a part of this process.
"Teaching English was so exciting for me, because in the process of teaching students about my language, my country, and myself, I was able to learn in greater depth about the countries I was living in and the students I was working with," said Sterk. "I usually take for granted the privilege of my education in this country, which included learning English as my first language as a child, and I believe that one of the best ways that I can learn to appreciate this privilege is by sharing my knowledge with others."
The daughter of Steve and Gail Sterk, Gina was born in Duluth, Minn. Her parents instilled in her at a young age a love for all things outdoors, including camping, fishing, biking and skiing. She also developed a love for travel through the opportunities her parents provided Sterk and her siblings with to take family trips around the country. Some of her favorites included skiing in Colorado, camping in Washington and canoeing in northern Minnesota. From these opportunities, she acquired a spirit for adventure, which will soon be leading her across the world.
Sterks' decision to apply for an English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright was made after her wonderful experience of teaching in Southeast Asia; however, her decision to apply to Mongolia specifically was made somewhat on a whim. Sterk knew that should she be awarded a Fulbright, she wanted it to be an experience that was unique, adventurous and filled with opportunities to learn about and explore an unfamiliar land. She also knew she wanted to travel to a country facing high levels of poverty, because the teaching and service she could provide while on her Fulbright would hopefully be of great benefit to the well-being of such a country.
Based on these criteria, Mongolia quickly came to Sterk's attention as a country which she could be of service to and which would provide her with countless experiences and opportunities for learning and adventuring. Mongolia struck Sterk as a country with a uniquely fascinating culture that she is eager to learn more about firsthand. She is thrilled to begin her Fulbright in Mongolia at the end of the summer, even though it means deferring her plans for graduate school and giving up a prestigious scholarship she was awarded. Sterk intends to compete again for this scholarship from abroad, and then to begin studies at Luther Seminary in the fall of 2014, where she will pursue a Master of Divinity degree.
During the application process, Sterk received guidance from several Coe faculty members, including English Professor and Fulbright Program advisor Ann Struthers, English Professor Bob Drexler, English Professor Melissa Sodeman and Chaplain Kristin Hutson.
Established in 1946 and sponsored by the United States Department of State, the Fulbright Program aims to increase mutual understanding between Americans and the peoples of other countries, through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. The Fulbright Program is the largest international exchange program, providing funding for students, scholars and professionals to undertake graduate study, advanced research and teaching. The Fulbright U.S. Student Program sends approximately 1,500 students per year to more than 140 countries.

Accumulate This!
Lesson 14 of 17
Objective: SWBAT compute integrals with variable upper limits of integration.
Big Idea: Why do integrals with variable upper limits of integration produce functions? Students answer this question with multiple representations.
Warm-Up + Homework Review
As usual class begins with a set of Warmup problems. As I circulate the room, I plan to watch for students who approach Warm-up #2 graphically and come up with only one value for x, typically the solution greater than 3. Students who approach this problem algebraically will more readily obtain both solutions since the algebraic approach involves solving a quadratic equation. I will point out the existence of two solutions to students who only find one solution, perhaps just by piquing their curiosity by saying, "I've noticed some other students found two solutions. How is that possible?" Then, I will let students wrestle with this possibility.
When going over Accumulate_This!_Warmup as a class, I will be sure to connect the algebraic and graphical approaches to the problems. I want my students to understand how switching the limits of integration switches the magnitude of positive and negative areas under the function. This concept tends to be an area of weakness, so I will also look for evidence in last night's homework problems.
I will also be on the watch for students who solve algebraically by factoring expressions and misapplying the Zero Product Property (e.g., setting each factor equal to 14 after failing to move all terms to one side before factoring). Rather than reteaching the Zero Product Property, I will ask students to resubstitute solutions into the original equation. This will make the problem evident. I expect my students to be able to debug their original process.
Warm-up #3 reminds students that critical points occur where the first derivative equals zero or is undefined. I want my students to investigate these critical points graphically to improve student understanding and retention.
Students usually struggle with some of the tasks on last night's AP question set for homework. So, I allow alot of time to review these questions, including the errors behind the most popular distractors. Last night's homework solutions appear in the In The Classroom file.

Barcelona Apartments from Habitat
The other night, we stumbled across Habitat, a website advertising apartments for short-term stays in Barcelona. We ended up clicking around for a good half hour, ogling the tile floors, balconies, and ocean views. It brought us back to a brief trip to Barcelona several years ago when we were guests in an apartment on Passeig de Grácia. The place looked just like some of the older apartments pictured above, with shutters that opened onto a tiny balcony overlooking the street...

KATONAH, N.Y. – Kellogg's & Lawrence, the hardware store that has been serving Katonah and nearby communities for 125 years, fell victim to thieves Thursday evening.
"We were close to closing time when a group of five or six people came in together," said Diana Tyler, who has co-owned the store with her husband, Bart, for 18 years. "It seemed a little suspicious."
Soon afterwards, an employee ready to go home headed to the back of the store to get his coat. He was delayed by one of the group of people, who stopped him to ask a rather obvious question.
Just after that, the group left. The employee continued to the back of the store and discovered the safe standing open and empty, she said.
The Bedford police have classified the crime as a larceny, meaning items were taken either by force or by illegal entry. The incident is being investigated.
"We do have a security company and we have a surveillance camera, so we hope the video will give us some information," said Bart Tyler. "This is the first time we've ever been robbed. It's heartbreaking. Katonah has always been such a nice, safe town.
"It's hard times right now," he continued. "That may not be an excuse, but it is a reality. We're an easy target because we're so close to the major highways and even the train station."
"We'll have to be more careful now," he said. "Keep things locked. We're going to work with an expert and also the Chamber of Commerce. We don't want to make it easy for thieves. We could have made it more difficult."

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
February 01, 2013
Currently the project area remains a Construction Zone and is appropriately signed with a 35 mph speed limit to maintain safe driving conditions within the construction zone. At this time the roadway is in a temporary configuration with temporary striping and temporary construction signage. Major construction activities have been temporarily suspended during the colder winter months, but the Contractor is still maintaining storm water erosion control measures, and traffic control devices at this time.
The project is scheduled for completion at the beginning of summer. Remaining project work includes a high friction top lift of pavement which should smooth out the pavement, final permanent striping for permanent alignment and reconfiguration of the intersection, final permanent traffic signage, installation of the recessed centerline pavement markers, and installation of the centerline rumble strip. Placer County appreciates your patience as we complete this road safety project for our community.

The Magical Size
High-tech, performance cruiser
Responsive and easy to handle
Comfortable accommodation without compromising performance
The Swan 100 FD is a modern incarnation of the classic blue-water cruiser, an art that has been one of the hallmarks of Nautor's Swan over the past four decades.
The Hull
The lines of the Swan 100 FD are instantly recognisable as that of German Frers, the designer of Swan yachts for over 20 years. Frers has combined his race-design knowledge, with the elegance and stlye characteristic only to that of a Swan.
The Bow
Her displacement is 72 tons, of which 20 tons is within the 4-metre deep keel, giving the Swan 100 an exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio for what is principally a cruising yacht. the standard keel comprises a steel fin with a lead ballast bulb.
The Deck
The deck of the Swan 100 FD is light and stiff, built in pre=preg carbon over a honeycomb core and cured in a giant oven. the yacht has a large and uncluttered deck covered in beautiful 60x12mm thick teak battens on side decks, coach roof, coamings and cockpit. All hatches are flush with the deck and fittings are kept to a minimum. The captive winches are cleverly hidden away, for example under the helmsman's seats.
The Stern
Garage which can house a rigid-inflatable dinghy of up to 4.3 metres in length.
The Saloon
Stepping inside the Swan 100FD, one of the most striking features is the wealth of beautiful large teak surfaces, hand polished to an immaculate satin finish. The emphasis is on comfort, style and functionality. The storage and ppower systems on the Swan 100FD are designed to enable the crew to sail for days and weeks on end, without the need for replenishment.
The Chart Table
Chart table connected to the cockpit
The Guest Cabin
Selected light teak with hand rubbed satin finish used for visible woodwork. Vinyl covered lightweight removable overhead panels in accommodation areas.
The Galley
A beautifully finished and practical galley makes the most ambitious culinary experiments possible.
I: 131.23 ft 40.00 m
J: 35.10 ft 10.70 m
P: 126.31 ft 38.50 m

Rampant consumerism? Check. The same 12 Christmas songs performed 4,300 ways on the radio? You betcha.
It's holiday time again, people! With all the yuletide (second only to "delish" as the worst word ever created) cheer comes holiday party season. My inbox is bursting with people asking for Wingman tips for seasonal party domination during this, the season of raging, and like your inappropriate gymnastics coach, I've got your back.

Fantastic rotors and brakes. No dust and the rotors dont rust like the stock ones. The price was much cheaper than a local autoparts store and much better quality. You can also feel the quicker stopping power. Autoanything got them here in 3 days and they fit like a glove. Best combo of brakes Ive ever had!

Students prepare Santa babies
Little girls and baby dolls go together at Christmas.
This Christmas students in the fashion design class at Firth High School decided to combine learning to sew and doing a service project. The activity had a two-fold purpose. The students learned to sew to fulfill a need and children received a "Santa Baby" this season.
Three ladies purchased 16 dolls for this project. The students made a blanket, pajamas and a dress with bloomers for each doll.
Visiting with teachers at A.W. Johnson Elementary in Firth, they were able to identify children who could use a "Santa Baby," either because of a financial or emotional need.
There were more than enough baby dolls, so the "extra" babies were given to the Haven Temporary Shelter in Idaho Falls.
This project had two winners—the little child who received a "Santa Baby" and the class that learned how to sew with a purpose, said Family and Consumer Science teacher Janice Anthony.

Summer Seminars and Institutes for College and University Teachers
(330) 672-2150
About NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes for College and University Teachers
Each year the NEH's Division of Education Programs offers teachers opportunities to study a variety of humanities topics in Summer Seminars and Institutes. Each NEH Summer Seminar includes sixteen participants working in collaboration with one or two leading scholars. Participants have access to a major research collection, with time reserved to pursue individual projects.
Amount of Award
NEH Summer Scholars are awarded fixed stipends to help cover travel costs, books and other research expenses, and living expenses. Stipend amounts are based on the length of the NEH Summer Seminar or Institute: $2,100 (2 weeks), $2,700 (3 weeks), $3,300 (4 weeks), $3,900 (5 weeks), or $4,500 (6 weeks).
NEH Summer Seminars and Institutes are designed primarily for teachers of American undergraduate students. Qualified independent scholars and those employed by museums, libraries, historical societies, and other organizations may be eligible to compete provided they can effectively advance the teaching and research goals of the project.
You may request information about as many projects as you like, but you may apply to no more than two NEH Summer Programs (seminars, institutes, or Landmarks workshops) and you may attend only one.
Please note:
Adjunct faculty, community college faculty and first-time participants are encouraged to apply.
Up to two seminar spaces and three institute spaces are reserved for current full-time graduate students in the humanities.

Tony Stark breaks all the rules (even the one that says superheroes must keep a secret identity) and he always seems to comes out on top — that's why we love him. But now comes "Iron Man 2," a film about secret dangers, the sins of the father and the nasty price of modern celebrity. The movie lands on May 7 in the U.S. and, every day until then, we'll have behind-the-scenes scoops on the summer's most anticipated film.
"Iron Man 2" director Jon Favreau asked himself an important question as he began work on "Iron Man 2" and it had nothing to do with super villains — where would his party-boy hero go if he woke up with a nasty hangover?
Tony Stark is the first major West Coast superhero in film and Favreau, the man who wrote "Swingers," knows a little something-something about L.A. and the culture of late nights."The idea was, 'What's this guy like the morning after?' 'Where would this guy go if he had a hangover?' And then the answer we came up with was 'He would go to Randy's Donuts.' "
For those outside Southern California, Randy's Donuts is a landmark in Inglewood, not far from the Los Angeles International Airport. The 24-hour sugary oasis has plenty of face-time on the silver screen; its towering doughnut has appeared in "2012," "Earth Girls are Easy," "Breathless," "Coming to America" and maybe a dozen other films, as well as a glazed-memory moment in the music video for Randy Newman's sardonic anthem "I Love L.A."
Favreau loved the fact, too, that he was putting his armored hero on a sign that didn't belong to a national chain — there are few movies that have more licensing deals or a bigger product and advertising footprint than this new movie from Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures and Favreau was happy for a scruffier moment than, say, a shot of Robert Downey Jr. lolling back in the cowboy-hat sign of an Arby's.
"I didn't want something that felt forced. I wanted something that was really L.A. and I thought they'd be thrilled. So, you know, we got there and I'm talking to the owner, Randy, and he says, 'Yeah, well, you know I'd really like if he fly through the doughnut.' Wow. Really? But that's how it is, though, right?"

One of the many blessings of our denomination is the mountaintop campground called Bonclarken. At the sight of that word, most of y'all will probably be filled with joyful memories of camps, conferences, and retreats.
Summer greetings, Centennial! Not only has the season officially changed but the flow of our church family has, too. I'm sure you've felt it in one of two ways (or both!). Do any of these thoughts fit your own?
Four things came together to form this Postscripts article: two sermons and two situations. The first sermon was preached at General Synod in the beginning week of this month. The Gospel was proclaimed by a fellow seminary grad of mine from the Scripture of Nehemiah 4, where the returned Jewish exiles were rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem.
Greetings from Synod! For those who don't know (or need a slight refresher!), General Synod is the largest convening body of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. Each church in our denomination is or should be represented in order to conduct the business of our church family as a whole.
These verses cover every chapter of Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. Can you feel the depth of connection being expressed? The words in brackets are translated slightly different for the English reader's benefit, but the root remains the same: koinonia (partnership, fellowship, participation).
May 1st, 2018 marked the one year anniversary of Pastor Jeremiah's time of service here at Centennial Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church. It has been a wonderful time where the Lord has blessed and challenged our church.
Are you familiar with Winnie the Pooh? I am. In fact, aside from God's Word and an anthology of stories following the life of a young girl named Pinkalicious (you read that right), the many stories of Winnie The Pooh are the books I read the most.
My Church History professor at Erskine Seminary used to begin every semester with John 1:14 (find it above). He would then ask the following question, which side of the horse do you fall off of: grace or truth?

Gary Oldman Joins Tom Hardy Movie Child 44
Noomi Rapace and Joel Kinnaman are also onboard.
Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy might not have much time together (any time together?) in The Dark Knight Rises, but they were evidently close enough to take this beautiful photo together, so let's call it a reunion anyway. Child 44 will feature Hardy as a fifties Soviet military police agent who comes under government suspicion while investigating some child murders; Oldman will play the head of police, the one keeping tabs on Hardy. Noomi Rapace and Joel Kinnaman are also onboard, with Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) directing.

Hi All,
I'm currently revelling in World Cup fever - so please excuse the short nature of this update today!
To bring you all up to speed on things I have recently recieved packages from Heavenly Cakes, Hotel Chocolat, Zotter, Galler and one from Germany which has several of the latest Milka and Lindt flavours. Be sure to watch out for all the reviews coming up on the site - remember I am always open to your requests.
The question(s) of the week: 'which is your favourite world cup themed advert? Are you getting annoyed by them all?'
Personally a lot of them are starting to grate on me, but from a marketing perspective the Carlsberg ad we have here in the UK has been brilliant. It would be interesting to hear from countries other than the UK to see if things have gone quite as mad.
Have great weeks .... COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!
