Walnut Creek, Calif., Sept. 4, 2014 - CUE is proud to announce its keynote speakers for the Fall 2014 Conference, October 24-25 at American Canyon High School in Napa Valley, California.
Lucien Vattel will present the Opening Keynote at 4pm on Friday, October 24 and Diana Laufenberg will present the Closing Keynote at 3:30pm on Saturday, October 25.
Lucien Vattel: As an education trailblazer and game development visionary, Vattel is at the forefront of a nationwide crusade to revolutionize learning in the classroom and beyond. Vattel is the CEO of GameDesk, the Los Angeles-based interactive curriculum creator and digital publisher, which is transforming the traditional school model into a hands-on, digitally-charged ecosystem for students to discover and nourish their greatest gifts all while embracing STEM skills through game-based learning. Building on this methodology, Vattel founded and is Co-Director of PlayMaker, a next-generation, choose-your-own adventure middle school program designed to help teachers and students transcend the confines of textbooks and chalkboards. After securing the largest contribution in AT&T history, Vattel currently leads the design and development of a Los Angeles-based digital learning center and fully comprehensive online portal for educators.
During the last 15 years, Vattel has taught courses in both digital game development history and advanced game design and is also a frequent speaker having recently spoken at TEDx, Games for Change, and SXSW.
Diana Laufenberg: Laufenberg, a National Board Certified Teacher, has taught Social Studies to students from 7th to 12th grade for the past 16 years. Her practice has deep roots in experiential education, taking students from the classroom to the real world and back again. Laufenberg was featured on TED.com for her message "How to Learn? From Mistakes," and her publications include a featured piece on the New York Times Learning blog, as well as an article in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy. She currently works as a freelance teacher and an Educational Strategist for Inquiry Schools, a new non-profit focused on building, supporting and sustaining modern learning environments that are inquiry-driven and project-based.
Her keynote, 'Creating the Classrooms We Need' will discuss how our schools hold immense potential for authentic and experience-based learning in this age of information surplus. Since educators are teaching and students are learning in a landscape where students no longer have to come to school to get their information, never have educators had such amazing opportunities to think creatively about their practice. Never has it been so important for educators to provide students with innovative and dynamic learning. Laufenberg's keynote will provide practical classroom examples of activities and assessments and will challenge audience members' thinking on what it means to teach and learn in today's schools.

This sounds good! It will be on my list.
I made this today loved it. next time I'm putting onion in it. The dried onion flakes left it tasting off.
Whole family enjoyed it. Definitely a new staple. May try adding a black pepper, red peppers & turkey sausage next time.
I made this last night. My husband loved it. Used chicken sausage instead of pork.
The suggestions offered by this web site is completely different from what my cardiologist has prescribed. How do I justify the differences between my primary care Dr., Nephrologist and Cardiologist? Dietitian comment: Some of the recipes for kidney may not match your goals for the cardiac diet but there are many others that do. You can make modifications like substituting low cholesterol egg substitute for eggs, using nonfat milk and cream cheese and even omitting the sausage. Read the DaVita.com article "Merging the Heart and Kidney Diets" for more tips on combining both diets.
Made this recipe yesterday for my husband and me. We ate it yesterday and this am. Was pretty good and fairly easy to make. Would make it again.
Regarding sausage use, I go to my butcher shops and ask them to make me 5-10 pounds sausage without salt or sodium. Then I pick it up, go home and divide it into 1/2 lb units and freeze. That gives me (after cooking) 1- 2oz serving for me and nice 4+ ounce serving for my husband. Or use in casseroles and trying to keep my portion to approx. 2 oz unless there is another protein in the recipe i.e. eggs or cheese. One could do the same for turkey sausage.
Enjoyed I used veggie sausage also a handful onions and bell peppers very tasty!
I ve got a duo problem. Diabetic and Stage 2 kidney disease. So what is the serving size on these recipes? I took all salt away and my bp was dropping so I ate more. Itried the rice and my sugar went high. I am so frustrated that the quality of life is no longer there. boo hoo Dietitian comment: Combining multiple diets is challenging but not impossible with persistence and help. Keep searching for recipes that appeal to you and include diet types for diabetes and CKD non-dialysis. The portion size is one 3-inch by 3-inch square, or 1/9th of the recipe.
My husband liked this recipe. Question: In picking low sodium sausage what numbers meet the requirements to qualify as low sodium? I was so focused on finding reduced fat which I did find but realized afterwards I hadn't purchased reduced sodium which my husband's diet requires. I liked this recipe too! Dietitian comment: Officially low sodium means the item contains 140 mg or less sodium per serving. You will also see foods labeled as reduced-sodium, which means the product contains at least 25% less sodium than the product that is not reduced sodium.
I'm frustrated that there is no search capability in recipes since I am looking for specific recipes like pancakes from scratch. Don't laugh I have never made anything from scratch I don't think. I would like the nutrient list too. That is how I learn what I can have and cant have. Dietitian comment: The DaVita Diet Helper tool has a recipe search or if you use the general search box in the recipe section you can click on 'Recipes" to see only recipe results.
Sounds good but way too much sodium & potassium for me & I don't eat pork. I will substitute turkey bacon, almond milk & whole grain bread. Can I use egg whites instead of whole eggs? This is from a CKD dietitian? Dietitian comment: I believe egg whites will work as a substitution--and that will lower the phosphorus content. To keep protein the same, 9 egg whites are needed but this makes the sodium and potassium increase.
How much can I eat per serving? Dietitian comment: Cut the casserole into 9 equal servings. 1/9th of the recipe or one 3" x 3" piece is one serving.
After reading all the reviews, I noticed a few things. A sub for coffee mate is Mocha Mix which is what my dad uses. It comes in half - gallon containers and is less expensive than coffee mate. My dad swears it tastes like milk in his cereal. If I make this recipe, I would have to substitute the cream cheese for neufacthel (sp?) Cream cheese substitute. People that are lactose intolerant or need a lactose-limited diet like my dad can use this. I even use it as it's much less fat and tastes just like cream cheese. As for the Almond Milk/Nut Milks, make sure your diet does not state no nuts before using this type of milk. My dad cannot consume nuts on his low potassium/low sodium/low phosphorus/low fat diet....yes that's a lot of lows!! So you may want to ask your dietician if you should use those types. I hope this helps someone. I was so confused in the beginning that my dad almost starved because I was so afraid to give him anything to eat. Thank goodness I found the DaVita site. It really does help! Also know that if a recipe calls for something you shouldn't eat, you can substitute it for something you can eat. Dietitian comment: Thanks for your feedback Marlene. In regards to the nut milk, many are low enough in potassium and phosphorus to be used on a kidney diet. The milk is extracted from the ground nuts and most of the potassium and phosphorus is left behind in the nut meal. Ask your dietitian for product recommendations.
Sounds good.
We would have to substitute something else for the sausage as we have to watch the sodium content as well as fat content. Dietitian comment: Try the Homemade Pan Sausage or Homemade Turkey Sausage recipe on DaVita.com. Both are low in sodium. The Turkey Sausage has only 3 gram of fat per patty.
This looks good. Could you freeze the individual servings for use later?? Dietitian comment: I have not tried freezing it but if you wrap well it should work.
I love this! Make it as a treat. Even eat as a lunch with a small side salad.
Is almond milk kidney friendly? This sight is excellent! Dietitian comment: Thanks! With the explosion of nut milk beverages over the past few years, it seems there is no consistency between products in regards to protein, poitassium, phosphorus, sodium and calcium content. General guidelines are to check with your dietitian for specific products, read the nutrition label and ingredient list and select products without 'phos' additives and with lowesr potassium and phosphorus content.
This recipe looks very good. I am going to try it with some green chili sausage. I was wondering why one would use the non dairy creamer that is so full of chemicals, wouldn't that be hard on our kidneys? Moderator comment: The nondairy creamer substitutes milk to help lower the potassium and phosphorus. You could also use unenriched rice milk as a milk substitute.
I do not understand. I am a newly diagnosed PKD patient. I thought I needed to avoid protein and sodium. Eggs and sausage? I am so confused. Moderator comment: As you learn more about your individualized diet needs there will be less confusion. Kidney diet limitations will vary depending on stage of kidney disease, a person's size and their lab values and if on dialysis, the type of dialysis. The goal is to stay within your prescribed targets for nutrients such as protein, soidum, potassium and phosphorus. Calories, fat, cholesterol and carbohydrates may also be of concern depending on other diagnoses. Even some of the foods on the 'Limit or Avoid' list may be incorporated and still achieve daily targets. Ask your dietitian for help.
I was reluctant to try this at first but found that it tastes quite good! I was pleasantly surprised and will continue to make this dish! Thanks
I have been looking for new ways to "do eggs". This one is delicious.

Skip to comments.Insane: Liberals claim Gingrich calling Juan Williams by first name racial code
Posted on 04/22/2013 12:26:36 PM PDT by Impala64ssa
Is it now racist to call Juan Williams by his given name? Apparently so, according to liberals like radio talk show host and Fox contributor Geraldo Rivera and MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who seem to have acquired the gift of determining racism simply by the way a person's name is spoken.
Rivera was "analyzing" Newt Gingrich's response to Juan Williams' question at last Monday night's Fox News debate.
"When you listen to the way Newt Gingrich says Juan Williams first name, he says it like its a racial epithet, I swear to God, thats my impression," Rivera said.
He then played Williams' question followed by Gingrich's response.
Geraldo Rivera falsely claims Newt Gingrich's use of "Juan" racist . Geraldo Rivera falsely claims Newt Gingrich's use of "Juan" racist.
"There is Gingrich being filled with disdain, utter disdain for the only man of color maybe in that whole room. That room was very, very, uh, reminiscent of another era in American politics," Rivera said.
Actually, that was Gingrich being filled with utter disdain for the question Williams posed to him.
(Excerpt) Read more at examiner.com ...
That's because YOU'RE the racist, Jerry.
When will Newt pronounce it "Whorealdo?
Rivera can shove it up his smelly Obama.
Jerry Rivers ?
Who Dat ?
Hommie playa da card.
There. Fixed it.
Okay, Jerry. Anything you say. I think it was racist of you to exploit Al Capone's vault.
My name is Christian, should a man called mohamed calls me by my name, can I sue him for racism and Christianophobia ?
Can I make a fortune of suing him ?
If we just said Williams things sure could get confusing.
In answer to your question, Dems are race-obsessed. It is in their party's DNA. They are the party of slave-economics, lynch mobs, fire hoses, race repression, and in modern times they continue to be obsessed with the subject.
If you are race obsessed, then there is a party for you and its the DNC. Because they are obsessed with it, because it is the center of their universe, they think everyone is like them. Its impossible for them to conceive of a world in which character and philosophy matter and race does not.
Idiots on parade.
Jauraldo needs to be on MSNBC, where he can loose his inner nutjob.
As I am reading this, WABC airs a promo for Geraldo's radio show with Geraldo saying you can't say "illegal alien" because it's racist.
Idiots that see racism everywhere are the BIGGEST racists of all.
They don't really see racism everywhere, it's just a useful tool for them to use against those who are too cowed by PC to turn it against them.
Another example....
Can someone please forward me a copy of the Racial Codebook? I didn't get mine at the last meeting of all the white folks and I want to keep up. Thanks in advance.
That's his name. He didn't call Juan, amigo.
Geraldo said the other day to OReilly that we as a society should not use the word negro or homosexual. Add Juan to his list. (head to desk)
Gerald Riviera needs to STFU! He's an @ssclown.
No matter how you say his name, Juan is still a liberal turd.

Press Release
Former Stamford, N.Y. Mortgage Broker John A Sanzone, Sr. Pleads Guilty to Role in Mortgage Fraud Scheme
September 23, 2010
Delhi, N.Y.: Richard D. Northrup, Jr., District Attorney for Delaware County, Richard H. Neiman, Superintendent of Banks for the State of New York, and the New York State Police today announced the guilty plea of a former Stamford, N.Y., mortgage broker to one count of Forgery in the Second Degree, a Class D felony. JOHN A. SANZONE, Sr., 44, is scheduled to be sentenced at a later date before Acting Delaware County Court Judge Brian D. Burns to an indeterminate term of incarceration in state prison of 1 to 3 years. Mr. Sanzone was indicted in May 2010 during a grand jury presentment made by attorney Gia L. Morris, Assistant Director of the Criminal Investigations Bureau for the New York State Banking Department, who was specially designated as an assistant district attorney for this investigation and prosecution.
SANZONE, of Saratoga Springs, N.Y., was the owner of Catskill Mortgage, a mortgage brokerage firm that operated in Stamford, N. Y. until September 2008. SANZONE was charged by indictment with abusing his position as a mortgage broker in order to obtain mortgages using false and altered documents.
District Attorney Northrup said, "I'd like to thank Superintendent Neiman for agreeing to assign Ms. Morris and Bank Examiner Jack A. Massaro to take the lead in what has been a lengthy investigation and uncommonly complicated prosecution. Their work has been superb in bringing about an appropriate resolution of the matter."Superintendent Neiman said, "Today's case underscores the commitment the Banking Department has made to aggressively pursue those who take advantage of their positions in the mortgage industry for their own financial gain. We will continue to use the full power of the law – whether it be writing new regulations or enforcing the existing ones – to ensure that the public is protected from such individuals."
The New York State Banking Department is the regulator for all state-chartered banking institutions, virtually all of the United States offices of international banking institutions, all of the State's mortgage brokers, mortgage bankers, check cashers, money transmitters and budget planners. The aggregate assets of the depository institutions supervised by the Banking Department are more than $2.4 trillion.
In addition to regulating banking institutions, the Banking Department is active in informing and educating all New Yorkers on banking matters. To contact the Banking Department, please call 1-877-BANK-NYS or visit our Web site at www.dfs.ny.gov.

Interim findings at the end of Year Two from our report into the culture change generated by Business Connectors on secondment into their communities with BITC.
We find that Connectors are increasingly recognised as a positive intervention for increased cross-sector working at a local level. This is through bringing together diverse groups with potentially aligned interests, introducing more collaborative approaches to skills sharing/mentoring, and encouraging resource-sharing between sectors. In this context, the work of Connectors supports the characteristics of co-creation, shared value and developing shared access to different resources, and this model can be said to challenge market-transaction based models of value.

Meet Harriet Zucker.
She's a remarkable young student at Troy's Emma Willard School who's been interning with me for the past semester learning about journalism and writing. She is one of those rare seniors who could choose a career in scary math, space-age science specialties, or literature, so it's been fun trying to entice her into my field. One of her assignments with me has been to research, report and write a profile on an interesting person in her life. She chose Emma Willard teacher Christine Carroll and I'd like you to see what she came up with. Harriet did the writing and took the photos. It's not just an engaging piece, but in keeping with the journalism she has been learning about, it's timely. Carroll is the costuming wizard behind Emma Willard's spirited annual Christmas production "Revels," a local tradition for 96 years, which is showing this weekend. (Harriet like every member of the senior class is one of the stars.)
(For anyone interested in more about this unique production, Scott Waldman did a feature on it available in the TU archives from Dec. 18, 2009).
By Harriet Zucker
When she arrived at the Emma Willard School for girls in Troy in the fall of 1975 to teach English, Christine Carroll could not have foreseen that she would soon be putting about 100 girls into ornate costumes for their annual winter play – or that 34 years later, she would still be doing it.
The play is called Revels, and has been a tradition at Emma Willard for 96 years. When Carroll, now 61, saw her first performance she was "blown away" by both the performance and the costumes. She has been sewing since she was a girl, had worked at a bridal shop in college on gowns of antique fabric and elaborate design. So she saw a job for herself. "Painters love paint on the canvas," she says, "I love looking at fabric."
The new English teacher began working with the costume mistress at that time, Effie Hogben, the very next year.
The costumes pretty much make the show. Every student gets to wear an individual, authentic, handmade costume. Sara Rahimi, a fourth-year student, says "Even for the smaller parts, the costumes have so much detail in the embroidery and trim. They're so elegant." For Emma Willard, a school full of tradition, Revels is the most special. When alumnae meet years after graduating, the first question they ask is "What was your part in Revels?"
Only seniors get to perform in Revels. They are cast in mid-fall, and must keep their parts secret from all non-seniors and from faculty not involved with the production. When the night of the performance comes – as it does this weekend –200 students sit for more than two hours, screaming constantly, cheering for the senior class. Amongst a chaos of noise, movement, and excitement, the costumes must be perfect.
Some of them are more than 90 years old, but Carroll maintains and preserves them so that they have years of life to come. Though Carroll describes herself as being "very good at saying I can throw [something] away," costumes are precious to her. She saves and display unusable costumes in her costume fitting room.
While the costumes remain the same, the student inside them do not, Parts in Revels are never based on the side or shape of a student either, so Carroll has become adept at altering. She makes it sound like magic: "A costumer has to have a vision of making something that can shrink and/or grow larger." On top of that, she says, in recent years costumes have required more room for movement and flexibility. "The show has become more physical, when originally it was processional," she says.
Carroll is beloved on campus partly because of her enthusiasm and partly because of her dedication to Revels.
In the classroom she is dynamic and engaging. Rahimi says "People, even on the shy side, have confidence in her. When she is excited you can hear it in her voice, and hands, and her whole face will light up."
Carroll will allow students cast in Revels to pull out the costumes most inspiring to them, or to wear a costume that a family member has worn before them. "Even if someone wants to try on a costume or go with a genuine love of color or design…I try to honor their moment," says Carroll.
Debra Spiro-Allen, head of the arts department at Emma Willard, describes Revels as "the quintessential bonding moment" for a class, and "such a defining moment for a lot of the students," and Carroll understands the significance of this. Spiro-Allen calls her "a living legend that holds so much of the Emma tradition in her mind and in her body."
But after 36 years, she does admit it is "harder to do the work on top of teaching," even with the support of her colleagues.
In 1994 Carroll began feeling pain in her lower back. Her husband, John, had long suffered from MS, and Carroll assumed her trouble was a result of lifting him too much. But an x-ray and MRI showed something else: she had herniated disks, and a bone spur in a location that could sever her spinal cord at any moment. Carroll says her doctor wondered how she was walking.
Surgery was scheduled quickly. "You know, you're really innocent about this," says Carroll, "I walked in… after the surgery I found out it had punctured the cord." Carroll ended up in the hospital for two months, most of which she spent learning how to walk again.
Carroll says she "really worried more about her son" than herself. She thought "my poor husband is at home, my son's only 11. Is he going to have two parents in wheelchairs?" A friend helped her find a state-sponsored program which put aides in her home to help out. Though she missed some months of teaching, she was welcomed back to her classroom and the school built ramps and elevators so she can get around on a scooter.
Carroll and her husband made it their goal to never let infirmities run their lives. "We loved living in the present," says Carroll. They travelled when possible, socialized with friends, and stayed busy. Carroll says "MS is a tough disease," but "MS wasn't what got him in the end." In 2002 John died of respiratory failure.
On the morning of his funeral classes at Emma Willard were cancelled so that students and faculty could attend.
"I have never once heard Ms. Carroll complain," says Spiro-Allen.
And she is not now, even with the crush of the play this weekend. Carroll says she has "no idea when I will stop: it would be hard in my heart to simply walk away, and it's not in my nature."
There's also a tradition.
Hogben, Carroll's predecessor, worked with the costumes right up until her death. Carroll says that "You could always hear her coming—she walked with two canes," and "You could never see her for only 15 minutes," because she always wanted to talk with students and faculty members. As she grew older her job became solely making and fitting costumes.
Carroll would like to continue costuming even after leaving regular classes. She has a plan to create a "mini-museum" where retired costumes can be displayed along with information about them. She also plans to spend more time writing.
Students and fellow teachers cannot imagine a replacement for her. As one faculty member put it, "There were some teachers that, when they retire, change the school. I would put Mrs. Carroll in that company. Not many people are in that company."

Will a Tea Partier save Harry Reid's job?
This past weekend, the Tea Party rallies moved from the steps of the U.S. Capitol to Searchlight, Nev., home of the man activists hold responsible for passage of Obamacare: Senate majority leader Harry Reid. On Saturday, traffic into the tiny mining town where Reid grew up (population 700) was backed up for miles, as 7,000 people gathered for the Tea Party Express "Showdown in Searchlight." Activists carried signs that read, "Harry: Searchlight Needs You, America Doesn't." And Sarah Palin drew raucous cheers when she told Reid, "You're fired."
But will a self-proclaimed Tea Party candidate end up saving Harry Reid's job in November?
Reid is one of the most vulnerable Democrats this fall, thanks in part to his role pushing through President Obama's health-care legislation. A recent Rasmussen poll found that 56 percent of Nevadans oppose Obamacare (51 percent strongly), while just 41 percent support it (and just 24 percent strongly). Just 20 percent of Nevada voters view the Senate majority leader favorably, while 48 percent view him unfavorably. And both of the leading Republican candidates -- former Nevada state senator and GOP chairwoman Sue Lowden, and Las Vegas businessman Danny Tarkanian, a former UNLV basketball star -- have crossed the 50 percent threshold and have opened up double-digit leads over Reid.
Reid has responded with an early and heavy TV ad campaign, but so far it has failed to stop the hemorrhaging. He is now the most endangered Senate majority leader since Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) was defeated by John Thune in 2004.
All this is good news for Republicans; defeating the Senate's top Democrat and a key architect of Obamacare would be a huge victory for the GOP. Except for one problem: A Nevada asphalt contractor, Jon Scott Ashjian, has joined the race under the banner of the Tea Party of Nevada -- and a recent Las Vegas Review-Journal poll found that in a three-way showdown with a Tea Party candidate in the mix, Reid could pull off a narrow victory.
Ashjian is unknown to Nevada voters, and also to Tea Party activists. They say he has not been involved in the Tea Party movement, and many suspect he is running a "false flag" operation to help Reid win re-election. So far, there is no proof Reid's campaign was involved, but Tarkanian says that "common sense, reasonable deduction...tells you this guy is in the race to help Reid." Leaders of the Tea Party Express have distanced themselves from Ashjian and recently released an online ad declaring him a "fraud" and telling him to "get lost." But the decentralized nature of the Tea Party movement makes it hard to stop someone such as Ashjian from claiming the Tea Party mantle.
Another problem: Lowden, the front-runner in the GOP primary, earned the ire of Nevada libertarians in 2008 for what they see as her hijacking of the state party convention. Supporters of Ron Paul -- many of whom now populate the Tea Party movement -- showed up in droves at the convention and succeeded in overturning rules designed to elect a slate of McCain delegates. Lowden and other Republican leaders shut the convention down, promising to reconvene it on a later date. But the do-over convention never happened; instead, the McCain delegates were selected in a private conference call among state party leaders. Some libertarian activists have never forgiven her -- bad news in a state that is the nation's libertarian heartland.
For her part, Lowden claims to be a "Tea Party voter" and has been well-received at Tea Party rallies -- including the Showdown in Searchlight last weekend. In 1992, she defeated the majority leader of the Nevada State Senate in his bid for reelection, and she now wants a chance to do the same to the majority leader of the United States Senate. Lowden says of Ashjian, "I don't know who this person is. I've never seen him at one of our tea parties."
Ashjian was not invited to appear at Saturday's Tea Party rally in Searchlight. But he was invited to appear last Friday in federal district court to defend himself against a lawsuit challenging his candidacy and claiming that he was not a member of the Tea Party of Nevada when he filed for the election on March 1. Ashjian failed to appear in court. Judge Todd Russell said he would give Ashjian "one more chance to show up," but if he refused the judge said he would be inclined to grant the motion to remove him from the ballot. And to add to Ashjian's troubles, the Clark County district attorney's office announced Friday that it would seek an arrest warrant for him Monday on felony theft and bad check charges.
Harry Reid had better hope Ashjian survives his legal troubles. The Tea Party has targeted Reid, and having Ashjian on the ballot may be Reid's only hope of survival this November.

"Insourcing" is how President Obama described his latest push for bringing jobs back to America. Some news outlets are even describing it as a "trend," this migration of jobs by U.S. companies who had been outsourcing to overseas workers.
U.S. companies hiring U.S. people to work for them is now a trend?
I know - companies are in the business of making money. When U.S. companies make money, ostensibly that has a positive effect on the entire country. Making money entails managing costs. Labor is a huge business expense. If the company CEO can obtain talent for $14-15 per hour versus $75 per hour in the U.S., he or she has to take a long, hard look at what that means for the company.
So now in our political sphere, there are conversations about penalizing U.S. companies who continue to take jobs overseas, or rewarding them for bringing jobs back. No one really knows if either approach will be successful or can predict the final outcome.
I would hope that rather than treat these companies to a gold star or a demerit, we can bring both the logic and intrinsic rewards of such a move into the consumer and business sphere. I'm glad it's getting attention, don't get me wrong; but in my opinion, rarely does politicizing business lead to a desired outcome.
And rarely does succumbing to the temptation of short-term savings lead to long-term gains. Here are some facts:
The four 4 basic costs associated with outsourcing are:
- Labor;
- Transitioning your work;
- The operation of the outsourced relationship; and,
- Managing the unexpected.
The labor savings is a prime temptation. However, a 2004 study by the Application Executive Council demonstrated how the operations and management costs actually reduced that savings by as much as 17 percent. Transitioning can take weeks or months. Delays affect customer relationships, customer loyalty, and customer retention
In fact, a recent study by Princeton Survey Research Associates International shows that U.S. consumers are willing to pay more for goods that are made in the United States. They value authenticity, over cheaper goods.
So we're back to costs. Perhaps U.S. urban talent is still out of reach for some companies, particularly for smaller to mid-sized businesses. Is insourcing - or onshoring - still an option?
Yes: Rural Sourcing. Businesses can find comparable talent in rural pockets across the U.S. for up to 40 percent less than in urban areas - and zero to 17 percent more than overseas. Now, remember that your management and operation costs of overseas outsourcing can add 17 percent in costs - so your labor justification is no longer valid.
The Jiraffe Group, located in the DC-Metro area providing "Process-First" Technology Solutions, is a small business that has both encountered the reality of pulling in additional resources to meet customer needs, and now also insources with a rural workforce.
"It is tempting to think that low-rate offshore resources are a silver-bullet solution to the risks of a tight-budget problem," says Jiraffe Group founder Jim Rafferty. "But the reality is that when you are working with resources in a vastly different time zone, with vastly different cultural backgrounds, you are creating far more management and communication challenges than you might think - which translate into additional costs that erode the supposed savings.
"We take pride in being able to offer an all-American workforce option to our customers at a value point that cannot be achieved as easily today with urban resources, so even a small business like ours is part of bringing and keeping jobs in America."
Rural onshoring insourcing: U.S. companies hiring U.S. talent, and saving money in the process.
You just can't get more authentic than that. Authenticity has to be the trend, and we need to get that message to American businesses.

Amman, Jordan
Whether it's interning in London, studying in Spain or doing research in Germany, most Hobart and William Smith students will have had some kind of international learning experience before they graduate.
With some planning, Middle Eastern Studies minors can travel abroad and still graduate on time. While the Center for Global Education offers abroad programs on six continents, faculty from the Middle Eastern Studies department sponsor programs in Jordan and Egypt.
Amman, Jordan
As part of the Jordan program, students will have the opportunity to explore gender relations and other aspects of Middle Eastern culture through an affiliation with the School for International Training, an organization that has successfully placed U.S. students in rigorous programs for decades. In addition, this program offers the unique opportunity of a four-week long independ-ent study project in the city in consultation with SIT and HWS faculty.
This is a three-week summer program. The course itinerary will have three main thematic sections, each detailing a different aspect of the ways Egyptians have approached a variety of development challenges. In each section of the course, some attention will also be paid to the contributing causes and consequences of the political and economic change brought about by the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. Classes in basic Egyptian Arabic will be held throughout the course, focusing on vocabulary related to the substantive topics to be addressed each day.
At HWS, students have the freedom to study at any of our Global Education destinations.
The featured abroad programs are recommended by the Middle Eastern Studies department based on content of the curricula.

Could Google Plus be the Next Greatest Internet Innovation?
Many people hyped the Google social networking platform as being "revolutionary" and utterly amazing. It seems that the exact purpose behind this so-called social network has been redesigned into an SEO based platform. Or rather, the people who use G+, as many proponents of the younger generation seems to call it, like to also use the new "like" system it provides. Google wanted to have a fight with Facebook over one of the main sources of internet traffic, social networking, and a fight is exactly what they have received!
Everyone can understand the idea behind having an easy way to connect with your friends, or to communicate with long lost lovers... but social networking has changed very much so in the last few years. Originally it was just supposed to be an organized and simple way to talk to your buddies, without having to deal with cell phones and all of that hassle. Understandable? Yes, but the problem which ensued, was that the idea behind the website was so amazing people were begging to be allowed in. Facebook was expanded into the multi-billion dollar company it has turned into today. As you may know, if you have seen the movie based on its premise, Facebook was originally intended for the use of just one college, Harvard. It started out as a way for people to sort-of rate girls or each other. It them blew up, as more and more colleges wanted in, and then the entire world as we know it is now on facebook. But, you may be wondering the importance of this when it comes to online advertising and website promotion, here's the kicker: Google implemented a system to judge the viral nature of links to videos or really any type of content and included the facebook likes in the algorithm. As great as this is, allowing the real people to control what they like or do not like, and therefore having a totally customized internet focused right around their desires sounds perfect, but what Google realized is that there is an extremely profitable system bound together by facebook. More clearly, they wanted in on some of the profit.
So this year, we all had the opportunity of experiencing the next great internet phenomenon. Google plus came out, and now Google has singlehandedly made that a stronger form of promoting a website than a facebook like; it's very simple in the reasoning behind this decision, Google wanted to have a larger control over this market and they had the power to do so. The more or less control the entire internet market, the entire net worth of the internet can be solely based on this one search engine, because of the sheer power and control Google has over search engine traffic. This all boils down to traffic in essence, and if you are able to control it, you have all the power to control the strength and profitability of your website.

Internal Audit
Welcome to the Colorado School of Mines Office of Internal Audit & Consulting Services webpage. Many people aren't familiar with internal auditors or what their role is within the institution. There's also a misconception that auditors are bad. I hope this website provides clarification of the Office's role, greater insight into what we do all day, and tools that can be of help to you.
I believe in transparency and collaboration throughout campus. My goals are to proactively partner with management to add value to Mines through sound audit recommendations and instilling greater confidence in existing procedures. I want to be a trusted advisor on campus and seek to think outside the box.
Shannon Sinclair
Thanks for visiting the website. I hope you found this site helpful.

text: Giovanni Savino Photography | Gallera Home»All Photographs»DOCUMENTARY PORTFOLIO»Gallera In the Dominican Republic a "Gallera" is a round arena, usually carpeted, with tribunes and chairs overlooking, where cockfights take place. A smell of blood, sweat and alcohol, permeates the place. The "sport"of cockfighting is mainly a manly one. The women you meet in a "Gallera", aside from the occasional wife or daughter, are mostly prostitutes ("Cueros"), usually working along with the "Gallera"bar owner on a commission for the bottles sold. They entertain their clients between fights and then, after the last "pelea" (fight), they might go off with someone to a cheap hotel nearby to either celebrate a victory or soothe the pain of a loss. The cocks are first weighted and matched in fighting pairs, then stowed in plastic, numbered cubicles, where they can be observed prior to the fight for everyone to detect their strength, their defects, their combativeness and place bets accordingly.Before they fight, the cocks are "armed" with deadly spurs enabling them to stab their adversary more efficiently. The preparation of a fighting cock can take up to several hours. First the natural spurs are cut and shaped with a knife so that the plastic replacement spur can be glued over it, then stripes of a special sticky tapes are wrapped all around the spur in a similar way you would do with a boxer hands before slipping his boxing gloves on. Also, before the fight, often for several weeks, the cocks go under a regimen of all sorts of vitamins and energizing potions. In addition the lower part of their bodies is accurately shaved and repeatedly sprayed with chewing tobacco ("andullo") impregnated saliva by their trainers. An aspect of the relationship between the trainers/cock owners and their animals that I must admit escapes my personal comprehension is how can someone care so much, invest so much money (in vitamins, special food, etc) in their animal only to throw it into an arena to fight to their death?. The fights are very noisy and quite bloody. People scream, to the top of their voices to change their bets and to encourage or insults to the fighting cocks. Spectators in the front rows, closer to the arena, sometimes protect their clothes with the pages of old newspapers from the too common sprays and spurts of blood from the wounded cocks. Money quickly changes hands as bets are doubled and tripled as the fight progresses. The cocks have a pre-set time limit to kill their adversary or else they can win (just like in boxing) with "points", unless it's a draw.Weekly and monthly wages are doubled or lost in matter of minutes. Utter desperation and exhilarating joy are common sentiments to be encountered at these cockfights. The cock often becomes the living (or dead) symbol of either good luck or endless misery. Some poor lady often collects the dead cocks, washes the blood off, peels them and sells them for their meat. The meat of a cock that died in a fight is very tough so it is usually cooked for many hours ,then shredded and mixed to herring filets to improve the taste. Obviously this culinary concoction is said to have marvelous aphrodisiac properties and strengthen a man's sexual potency. © Giovanni Savino Photography Login | About | Contact Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

Work on the biggest project in Barwon Water's history, the Northern Water Plant, is progressing well. More than one third of construction is now complete.
All of the major earthworks are finished, the buildings and concrete structures are taking shape, and the construction of two new off-site pump stations is underway.
By Christmas, construction works are expected to be around 50% complete, and the buildings will reach 'lock-up' stage.
Building fit-out and off-site pump station will be finalised over summer.
The facility is being built by John Holland with a peak workforce of around 100 on-site personnel.
The Northern Water Plant is expected to be complete in mid-2012, with recycled water due to be available in 2013.
