Michigan Tech Peace Corps Master's International Volunteers Make a Difference—One Step at a time
By Jennifer Donovan | Published
When graduate students Kristina Denison, Callie Bertsch and Michelle Cisz left the wooded hills of the Michigan Technological University campus to serve as Peace Corps volunteers, they headed to countries that couldn't be more diverse: Zambia, Bulgaria and Paraguay. But the lessons they learned in Michigan Tech's Peace Corps Master's International (PCMI) program were remarkably similar.
"I was going to Africa to change the world," says Denison, who spent three years in Zambia, a landlocked little country in southern Africa, between Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. "I learned that you have to count the small steps, to be satisfied with planting a seed."
Bertsch expected to bring "some great innovation" to the village of Gurmen in Bulgaria. But she soon realized she was having her greatest impact in a more subjective arena: people's attitudes. "We're so glad you came to live with us because you're not at all like we thought Americans were," the Bulgarian villagers kept telling her.
Halfway around the world, in the small South American country of Paraguay, Cisz was busy readjusting her expectations too. "I had big goals, but I had to take small steps," she says. "It was a very humbling experience."
All three women are working toward their Master of Science in Forest Ecology and Management in Tech's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. They wanted to travel, to serve and to learn by doing—the Michigan Tech way—so they joined program that lets graduate students combine course work with volunteer service overseas in the Peace Corps. With eight PCMI programs in four different colleges and schools, Michigan Tech has more active Peace Corps volunteers than any other university in the nation.
Any Place But Africa
When Denison told her mother in Edina, Minn., that she was joining the Peace Corps, her mother said, "OK, as long as they don't send you to Africa." So of course that's exactly where her assignment took her.
"Like so many people here, she had only heard about the negatives—HIV, uprisings, starvation," says Denison. The story has a happy ending, though. Denison's mother wound up traveling to Zambia to visit her daughter, and when she saw that the African village had virtually adopted the young American woman, Mom relented. Despite the fact that her daughter was living in a mud hut with a grass roof, "my mother loved it there," Denison says, "because she saw that my village took such good care of me."
While Denison was serving in Zambia, she did a lot of HIV/AIDS education and trainings.
"All Zambia volunteers do HIV/AIDS work; there is a big need for it," she explains.
She was encouraged when, of 86 villagers who participated in a mobile VCT (voluntary
counseling and testing), only four tested positive for HIV. "How many people did
I teach how to prevent HIV/AIDS?" she says. "How many actually listened? But if just
two people took it to heart, it was worth the effort."
Part of Denison's job was helping the community with projects to improve their livelihoods. "I tried to get the farmers interested in agro-forestry, I really did, but naturally, everybody wanted to do beekeeping, the one thing I didn't want to do at the beginning" she says.
They started with hives fashioned from bark, with grass doors, and got so good at it that they ended up fundraising to buy wooden top bar hives. "I could see results; that was really nice," Denison remarks.
She also introduced the village farmers to concepts like crop rotation, green manure and other easy, inexpensive ways to farm more sustainably. "It's a matter of opening people's minds," she says. "Only two farmers tried it, but I'm hoping they will start a ripple effect.
Denison came home appreciating how little a person really needs to be happy. "All the things I think I need are really just things I want," she says. "Americans have so many things, but they don't seem to be happy. In Zambia, the people have so little, but they cherish their families and they're truly happy."
Bulgaria Beckons Wisconsinite
Bertsch, who hails from Antigo, Wis., initially was assigned to do environmental education in Bulgaria, but she ended up working with a small municipality in the Office of European Integration, helping with cross-border projects in nearby Greece and Macedonia and tourist development. She also taught English at a community center and kindergarten.
Within her own village, the Bulgarian Muslims, Orthodox Christians and the Roma populations were divided along ethnic and religious lines, and Bertsch was able to help complete a project with children to promote cross-cultural understanding.
She had an unanticipated opportunity to help her local counterpart widen her horizons too. The local partner assigned to her was 35, Muslim, single, and convinced that only a husband or a lot of money would make her happy. "I told her that happiness had to come from inside," Bertsch recalls. "You have your family, your friends. You have fun. That's what makes you happy."
Her sisterly pep talk got results. "I actually convinced her to go work out with me," Bertsch says with a grin.
While she served in Bulgaria, she helped the community stage a folk dance competition and organized after-school games. She also worked at an environmental education camp.
Bertsch knew no Bulgarian when she was assigned to the eastern European country, but she took to both the language and the lifestyle. "Everyone has goats and chickens. And big gardens," she says. "We ate fresh produce all summer. I loved that."
She also enjoyed the contrasts of traditional and modern life, like "the little old
lady with her head covered, riding in a donkey cart and talking on a cell phone."
A Remote River Town in Paraguay
Cisz, who calls Burton, Ohio, home, spent her first year in a rural farming community, working with farmers to help them incorporate trees into their fields to reduce erosion and improve soil quality. She also helped a women's group apply for funding to start their own bakery.
"In every case, I learned more than I taught," she says.
The Peace Corps made a judgment call to move many volunteers from that first region, so Cisz's second year was spent in an isolated river town community on the border of Brazil. It took five days by bus and boat to get from her town of Bahía Negra to the closest city of any size.
"It was a quiet paradise," says Cisz, and home to a number of ethnic groups, including Paraguayans, Brazilians and the Chamacoco Indians, an indigenous tribe that spoke its own language.
There she worked with another Peace Corps volunteer doing "capacity-building," which meant helping various social groups learn how to identify their own needs and work together on a common project. The town had chosen a beautification project with two goals: to encourage tourism and to become more environmentally conscious of how they handled trash.
"I worked on a trash campaign with the schools, local teens and small children," says Cisz. "We hosted segments on a local radio station and raised funds in the community to collect batteries off the streets. "
She also taught environmental education, disguised as an English class.
Because she was a graduate student as well as a Peace Corps volunteer, Cisz found herself "six hours away from civilization," collecting field measurements for her master's degree research project, when a member of her team was thrown from his horse. "Ironically, the horse threw him into the very palm that we were studying," she recalls. A local man lashed together a palm raft, and the crew headed back toward their research headquarters, dragging the injured man on the makeshift gurney.
On the way, the gurney got tangled in a thicket of brush and flipped. In extreme pain and knowing that the journey would take three more days on the makeshift palm raft, "he mounted back up in the saddle with a broken femur and rode another six hours to the research station," Cisz says.
The biggest lesson she brought home from Paraguay is "that poverty is a state of mind," says Cizs. "Life is not easy or comfortable for the people there. They have to work 10 times harder than people here for everything they get. But they don't see themselves as poor, just isolated, and they are so giving. No matter how much I gave, they gave me so much more."
Michigan Tech has received recognition from national Peace Corps leaders for its commitment to the program. Blair Orr, professor of forest resources and environmental science who heads Tech's PCMI program, credits the program's success to the strong support PCMI has received from the University administration and to the dedication of the students themselves.
"Most universities don't provide equivalent support," he said. "The impact of the support is evident in both the number of students and the high quality of students who are attracted to the program. It enables faculty to work closely with students on campus and overseas, and this prepares students to function much more effectively than the average volunteer. The students bring a strong technical background to their field assignment, along with an awareness of how technology must be adapted to the local culture."
Michigan Tech's variety of PCMI programs in forestry; civil, environmental and mechanical engineering; natural resource economics; natural hazards mitigation; technical communication; and science education also makes it possible for students to switch gears as they move from undergraduate to graduate study.
"Prospective students often think they must have an undergraduate degree in the same academic discipline as their Master's International program," says Orr. "While this is true in some programs, other accept students from any undergraduate background, so we can provide them with another skill set that will make them more valuable, and they can get a graduate degree while serving in the Peace Corps."
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

2013 Honda Civic ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Restyled, refined, retuned suspension, back on track.
The Honda Civic began its ninth generation with the 2012 model, which was disappointing on account of cost-cutting. The 2013 Civic sedan is changed a bit, becoming what the 2012 should have been, with a pretty exterior, snazzy interior, satisfying suspension, and a cabin full of tricks from Bluetooth to Pandora.
The nose, hood, black honeycomb grille and angled headlamps are pleasing to the eye, with a humped hood and raked windshield that draw attention. The side sills are sculpted smartly, and with body-colored mirrors and door handles, the Civic looks classy, especially with the optional alloy wheels. The rear fenders flow nicely into a horizontal V over each side of the rear bumper.
In the cabin there's a ton of standard content, such as Bluetooth phone and Bluetooth audio, Pandora internet radio interface and MP3, USB, iPod and SMS text message capability. There's a nice color multi-information display (i-MID) with rearview camera.
The fabric upholstery is excellent, with seats that are well shaped, nicely bolstered and widely adjustable. The standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatback expands cargo capacity. We put a six-footer in the rear seat, and he didn't complain about legroom or headroom.
Interior refinements include a new headliner and soft-touch materials on the instrument panel, center console, and door panels. Silver accents here and there, along with faux stitching on the dashboard and door panels, add a touch of upscale. Black carpeting is standard. The colorful instrument backlighting is soothing.
Significantly, NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) has been improved over the 2012. More sound deadening material has been added to the firewall, wheel wells, flooring and trunk, while the windshield and front windows are thicker, all in the successful pursuit of silence. On the inside, the Civic neither feels nor sounds like a mere $20,000 car.
We found the i-VTEC 140-horsepower engine with its 128 foot-pounds of torque to be adequate. Acceleration performance is average but feels stronger because the engine is smooth and cabin quiet. The 5-speed automatic transmission is programmed to be invisible, while the ride is solid and comfortable. There's an Econ mode that remaps the engine and transmission for fuel mileage over power. We easily ran 75 mph in Econ and impressively got 32.1 miles per gallon.
The suspension has been reworked for 2013 with thicker anti-roll bars front and rear, quicker steering, and firmer bushings. The front subframe body structure is stiffer.The overall level of dynamic competence is hard to fault, predictable with no false moves.
If you want sporty, there's the Civic Si, with its high-revving 2.4-liter twin-cam four-cylinder making 201 horsepower and 170 foot-pounds of torque. We've had it on the track and its performance is marvelous.
There are also three high-mileage versions of the Civic. The Civic HF uses a specially tuned version of the same 1.8-liter engine to achieve an EPA-rated 29/41 mpg City/Highway, compared to 28/39 mpg for the Civic LX and EX. The Civic GX runs on natural gas, with its 1.8-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder rated at 110 hp and 106 lb-ft of torque. It gets 27/38 mpg on the cheaper fuel. The Civic Hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine rated at 110 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque with a 23-hp electric motor assist. Fuel economy is rated at 44/44 mpg. The bare bones and most affordable model, DX, has been discontinued: Dee-Xed.
New safety technologies built into the 2013 Civic include the application of the next-gen Advanced Compatibility Engineering II (ACE II) body structure, which includes additional front end structures designed to help increase occupant protection by dispersing crash energy in narrow overlap frontal crashes. Also new are SmartVent side airbags, side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor and the availability of Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) systems, which make their compact-class debut in the 2013 Civic Hybrid.
The 2013 Honda Civic comes in six models. Civic LX, EX, and EX-L are available as a coupe or sedan and come with a 140-horsepower 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. The sporty Civic Si uses a high-revving 2.4-liter and 6-speed gearbox, coupe or sedan. Civic HF features a hybrid gas-electric powertrain tuned for high gas mileage. Civic GX runs on natural gas.
Civic LX Sedan ($18,165) and LX Coupe ($17,965) come standard with 5-speed manual transmission, fabric upholstery, air conditioning with air-filtration system, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power everything, Bluetooth, color multi-information display with rearview camera, USB/iPod connection, Pandora interface, SMS text feature, and steering wheel audio controls. The 5-speed automatic is available for the Civic LX Sedan ($18,965) and LX Coupe ($18,765).
Civic EX Sedan ($20,815) comes standard with the 5-speed automatic. Civic EX Coupe offers a choice of 5-speed manual ($20,115) or automatic ($20,815). All Civic EX models include a six-speaker audio system, 60/40 split rear seat, and power moonroof. Opting for the Civic EX Sedan Navi ($23,765) adds Navigation and XM Radio.
Civic EX-L ($22,265) Coupe or Sedan upgrades with leather upholstery and heated front seats. Civic EX-L Navi ($23,765) include navigation and XM.
Civic HF sedan ($19,765) is designed for maximum fuel efficiency with an economy tuned engine and 5-speed automatic.
Civic GX sedan ($24,465) burns natural gas.
Civic Hybrid ($24,360) uses a gas-electric powertrain with CVT and is available with leather ($25,560), Navi ($25,860), or both ($27,060).
Civic Si Sedan ($22,715) and Coupe ($22,515) feature a high-performance 2.4-liter engine and 6-speed manual. Navi and XM radio are available ($1500).
You can forget whatever you've read about the uninspired looks of the 2012 Civic Sedan (unless you bought one). The 2013 Civic actually catches some eyes with its changes. We got comments about the car's good looks, driving an EX for one week.
Honda had made a decision to go with the austerity times on the redesigned 2012 Sedan, which sported new fascias and character lines, but nothing bold. (The previous-generation Civic was the bold one, and its then-radical aerodynamics flow through to the 2013 model.) By playing it close to the vest, the class-leading Civic Sedan was upstaged in all directions; witness the SkyActiv Mazda3, stylish Ford Focus, and the Hyundai Elantra, a swoopy good deal. So for 2013 Honda responds with a rapid comeback, starting with the body makeover of the Sedan. (Meanwhile, the Coupe, with its own identity, doesn't get changed because there was no demand to change it.)
The nose and tail are new, up to the hood and trunk lid. Is that a hump in the hood like a muscle car? Yes! The black honeycomb mesh grill looks serious, if disguised, undermined by a thin chrome smile and half-hidden behind the mundane (but universally recognizable) Honda emblem. The front bumper offers excellent definition, dipping into black open-mouthed fascia with clear corner lights at each end. We could do without the gratuitous horizontal chrome strip within the fascia.
The A-pillars have been thinned, but the steep rake of the windshield is untouched. The side sills are sculpted smartly; with body-colored mirrors and door handles, the Civic looks classy. But not the LX with its awful plastic wheelcovers. Yes to the EX with its lovely optional alloy wheels.
The rear fenders flow nicely as they vector into the rear bumper, like a horizontal V on each side under the taillight, providing back-end definition. Honda designers did good on bumpers. At the tail above the bumper, it's restyled but still ordinary, even with big new two-piece taillamps. We could do without the gratuitous horizontal chrome strip across the trunk. But that's a generic statement; we could say that about every car.
Some less noticeable parts of the body have also been changed, especially the front floor and upper wheel housing. Fifty-percent of the body is high-strength steel, providing a rigid structure and light weight.
In the cabin there's much new content to bring the 2013 Civic upscale to match its competitors. However, there's some sleight of hand, because much of what's now standard in all models got there by discontinuing the low-cost bare-bones DX. But back on the upside, the price increase is only about $300, so the buyer does get a lot more interior content and quality in 2013.
There's standard Bluetooth phone and Bluetooth audio, along with Pandora internet radio interface and MP3, USB, iPod and SMS text message capability; the car reads your text messages to you, and allows you to respond with a default: 'I'm driving.' Nice color multi-information display (i-MID) with rearview camera. There's a new and classy all-black interior color. Living with our EX for one week, the upgraded fabric upholstery suited us just fine, leather not missed. The seats are well shaped, nicely bolstered and widely adjustable. We did a couple of four-hour runs, and enjoyed every minute behind the wheel.
The two-tiered dashboard is unique, some would say funky. The most useful information is repeated at the top of the dash, allowing the driver to scan without taking his or her eyes much off the road. Forward sightlines, even over that cool humped hood, are excellent. We appreciated the thinner windshield pillars, and small window set in the angle where the pillar intersects the car's hood. A lot of new cars have thick A-pillars that can obstruct the driver's view of pedestrians and other vehicles, but not here.
The i-MID, or Intelligent Multi-Information Display, uses a toggle on the leather-wrapped steering wheel that enables the driver to scroll through a variety of vehicle info. The optional satellite navigation system includes voice recognition. The 160-watt audio system sounds good, using six speakers in our EX. As always, maybe what we appreciated the most, was the standard 60/40 split-folding rear seatback that expands cargo capacity. We put a six-footer in the rear seat, and he didn't complain about legroom or headroom.
With no options, our EX had everything a car needs for safety and a driver needs for comfort and functionality, for $21,605 out the door (EPA-rated at 32 Combined city and highway miles per gallon). Actually, more than everything, most notably considering the power moonroof that's standard on the EX. But also smaller things like height adjustment for the driver's seat, and auto-off headlights.
The 2013 Civic interior feels premium, which couldn't be said of the 2012, which Civic customers noticed. Refinements include a new headliner to replace what's been called mouse fur, and soft-touch materials on the instrument panel, center console, and door panels. Silver accents here and there, along with faux stitching on the dashboard and door panels, add a touch of upscale. Black carpeting is standard. The colorful instrument backlighting is soothing. Radio and climate-control buttons on the center console are redesigned, no longer square, now trapezoidal and stylish. Symbolic of the attempt to change the image of the whole car, you might say.
Less visible but probably just as significant, NVH has been improved, so there is less noise, vibration and harshness. More sound deadening material has been added to the firewall, wheel wells, flooring and trunk, while the windshield and front windows are thicker, all in the successful pursuit of silence. On the inside, the Civic neither feels nor sounds like a mere $20,000 car.
Driving Impression
We found the standard Civic 1.8-liter i-VTEC engine with its 140 horsepower and 128 foot-pounds of torque to be adequate. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph is 9.2 seconds, about average for the class, meaning slow; but it felt stronger than that, maybe because the engine was smooth and the cabin quiet. We ran 75 mph from Portland to Seattle, with the flow of faster traffic, and the power was always available. The 5-speed automatic transmission didn't struggle to keep up or kick down. Not only that, the ride was solid and comfortable.
There's an Econ mode that remaps the engine and transmission for fuel mileage over power. We switched it on and kept driving hard. We felt the difference but not so much it made us grumble. We still kept up with the other cars going 75. We watched the fuel mileage climb. We got 32.1 miles per gallon, on Regular. We were impressed.
The suspension has been reworked, too, and it shows. Thicker anti-roll bars front and rear, slightly quicker steering (7 percent), and firmer bushings. The front subframe body structure is stiffer as well, and these things definitely make a difference; flatter cornering, for one. These tweaks are all upside, as there are no negative consequences to the ride or anything else. The overall level of dynamic competence is hard to fault, absolutely and totally predictable, no surprises, no false moves.
Don't forget, we're talking about a Civic sedan, here. The sedan's primary goal is not to be fun to drive, so don't go comparing it to the sporty compacts like the Dodge Dart or Mazda3. If you want sporty, there's the Civic Si, and that one is hard to beat. It uses a high-revving 2.4-liter twin-cam four-cylinder making 201 horsepower and 170 foot-pounds of torque. We've had it on the track and the handling is marvelous. It's yahoo fun. Huge bang for the buck.
But back to the boring. There are three high-mileage versions of the Civic. The Civic HF uses a specially tuned version of the same 1.8-liter engine that achieves a government-rated 29/41 mpg, compared to 28/39 mpg for the Civic LX and EX.
The Civic GX runs on natural gas. Its 1.8-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder rated at 110 horsepower and 106 foot-pounds of torque, significantly less power than that produced by the standard engine. Civic GX gets 27/38 mpg on the cheaper fuel, but be prepared to spend thousands if you want your own natural gas tank.
The Civic Hybrid pairs a 1.5-liter SOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine rated at 110 hp and 127 lb-ft of torque with a 23-hp electric motor assist. Fuel economy is rated at 44/44 mpg.
You can't go wrong with the Civic. Styling, suspension, powertrain, interior, economy, safety, price. It's got it all, including vastly different models to choose from, from Sedan to Coupe to hot Si. There are also alternative models: high-mileage HF, natural gas GX, and Hybrid.

Ukraine defends vote despite unrest
KIEV/DONETSK – Vladimir Putin promised that Russia would work with the new Ukrainian administration formed after a presidential election on Sunday that the Kiev government said on Saturday would anchor the ex-Soviet state to the West.
In the eastern region where at least 20 people were killed in recent days, there was less violence, though in fighting near Slaviansk between pro-Moscow rebels and Ukrainian paratroopers, unconfirmed local media reports spoke of up to four deaths.
The separatists reject an election run by a fascist "junta" in Kiev and national electoral officials said few ballot papers had yet been issued in two eastern regions with over 12 percent of the electorate, implying most there will be denied a vote.
Denouncing an "atmosphere of terror" directed against local electoral officials in the east, Europe's OSCE democracy agency pulled out most of the dozens of international monitors it had posted to Donetsk region out of fears for their security.
Polls point to a resounding win for a pro-Western candidate and a heavy turnout elsewhere in the country of 45 million.
President Putin's verbal olive branch after months of East-West feuding and his annexation of Crimea, came at an economic forum where, having earlier acknowledged U.S. and EU sanctions were hurting the Russian economy, he played down talk of a new Cold War and denied a desire to rebuild Moscow's Soviet empire.
Though he renewed criticism of Western powers for backing what he called a coup in February against the last elected president, his ally Viktor Yanukovich, Putin said: "We will respect the choice of the Ukrainian people and will be working with the authorities formed on the basis of this election."
Ukraine's government and its Western allies, however, view the actions of pro-Moscow militants in disrupting voting in the heavily populated, Russian-speaking east as supported by the Kremlin to deny the new president legitimacy and give Russia perpetual leverage to exert its influence over its neighbour.
Putin again protested Russia's innocence and its desire to see Ukraine stable after months of worsening national divisions.
His assurances were welcomed by the leaders of France and Germany who spoke to Putin in a three-way telephone call that underlined the importance of Ukraine and Russia to a European Union that holds elections to its own EU parliament on Sunday.
A statement from the office of French President Francois Hollande in Paris said he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had "taken note" of Putin's comments on working with Kiev's new leaders and that all three backed a national dialogue with OSCE support to resolve the crisis and amend Ukraine's constitution.
The interim Kiev leadership, who held a pre-election prayer meeting with religious leaders on Saturday seeking divine aid for the country's recovery, have offered greater autonomy for the east. But they reject Moscow's call for a looser federation and its claims of discrimination against Russian speakers.
Polls point to a resounding victory for pro-Western allies of the interim government on a turnout expected to be high, even allowing for the absence of Crimea and two big eastern regions.
Billionaire businessman and former minister Petro Poroshenko could win outright by passing 50 percent in Sunday's first round. But with 20 other candidates he may be forced into a runoff with former premier Yulia Tymoshenko, a distant runner-up in polls.
Though both have been involved in a feuding political and business elite that has failed to break a cycle of epic-scale corruption and national impoverishment and disunity since the Soviet collapse 23 years ago, the leading candidates carry the hopes of many Ukrainians desperate for a fresh start after rising up against their leaders for the second time in a decade.
Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said in a televised address urging people to take their responsibility to vote and show "we cannot be intimidated" that the new president would make a first foreign visit to Brussels. There they would sign a free trade deal with the EU, whose rejection by Yanukovich in November triggered protests in Kiev that ended when he fled to Russia:
"The newly elected president will receive from the Ukrainian people a mandate for a determined and unstoppable movement away from the grey zone of lawlessness and dark forces that dream of suffocating us, and into an area of free people rallied around common values – to a place where it is easier to breathe."
Many Ukrainians, especially in the east, where businesses trade with Russia and fear competition from the EU, are wary of opening up the economy. Millions, however, and not only in more nationalistic, Ukrainian-speaking areas in the west, are keen on the prospect of travelling freely in Europe without a visa.
Yatseniuk assured those in the east whose ability to vote, he said, was being infringed by "the war against Ukraine" that they would soon be free of "bandits". Tensions among rival armed forces continue to run high, however, and government forces, long starved of resources, show little capacity to take charge.
Ukrainian government officials said their forces fought off attempts by militants to break an encirclement of the rebel-held city of Slaviansk, in the north of Donetsk region, on Saturday. Reuters journalists watched rebels and paratroopers exchange mortar fire for nearly two hours in the afternoon.
Interfax-Ukraine news agency quoted separatists saying that two media workers had been killed and a pro-Kiev blogger saying that two Ukrainian soldiers died. The reports could not be confirmed. On Thursday, 17 Ukrainian troops were killed in an ambush and on Friday at least two pro-Kiev militiamen died.
Keeping up a war of words with Moscow against a background of Russian and NATO buildups around Ukraine's borders, the Ukrainian foreign ministry issued a statement on Saturday saying border guards had seized armed men in several vehicles trying to cross the frontier from Russia illegally overnight.
"The penetration onto Ukrainian territory of armed terrorist groups, organised by the Russian authorities, is nothing other than the latest act of aggression against our state," it said.
Away from the restive east, Ukraine's defence ministry said an anti-aircraft battery facing Crimea fired warning shots at two Russian helicopter gunships approaching the mainland.
A civic group that supports the holding of elections said the head of a local polling station on the outskirts of the city of Donetsk was briefly kidnapped by armed men. And other electoral officials spoke of their fear of running the ballot.
"There's an atmosphere of terror," an OSCE source said of conditions facing Donetsk officials from opponents of the poll. "We've found many officials sending us terrified SMSs."
Most of the dozens of foreigners due to monitor voting across Donetsk region were being pulled out, he said. Ukrainian officials said many polling stations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions would not open and that ballot papers had yet to be distributed for fear of militants trying to seize them.
The regions account for over a tenth of the electorate.
Nationwide, over 1,000 OSCE observers will check polling stations and counts. Voting will run for 12 hours until 8 p.m. (1700 GMT). Exit polls will give a rapid indication of the result, but a definitive outcome will only be known on Monday.
Holding the election would itself be a national victory, Prime Minister Yatseniuk said. "Remember, tomorrow, with our ballot papers, we will be defending Ukraine, investing in its prosperity and in the future of our children and grandchildren.
"We will vote, and that means we will triumph."
In Donetsk, capital of the Russian-speaking industrial Donbass area, people are deeply divided, with many keen to vote and remain in Ukraine and others hoping that a makeshift referendum held by rebels two weeks ago will let them follow Crimea into union with the much wealthier Russia.
Calling the Kiev authorities "worse than the Nazis", a pensioner who gave his name as Dmitry said outside the rebel-occupied regional administration building: "We are living under occupation … Of course I'm not going to vote."
But nearby, 74-year-old Anatoly was equally contemptuous of those who have turned the building into the headquarters of their self-proclaimed People's Republic of Donetsk. Glaring at the barricades and rebel flags, he said:
"This is all nonsense, absolute nonsense. I'm against all of this – I can't believe they are acting against the Ukrainian state. They are Ukrainian fascists."
Saying he would not be able to cast a ballot, he added: "I have a right to vote. But they have taken away my right."
In the port of Mariupol, in the south of Donetsk region, a local electoral official, Viktor Kovba, said at least 10 of the city's 100 stations would not open and more might be affected.
"There's a risk the election will be disrupted. It wouldn't take much," he said. "If they target three stations, the whole city will know immediately and people won't go to vote."
An official at one polling station, who gave her name as Viktoria, was frank. She said: "People are afraid."

Stocks fell early Thursday as a slowdown in Europe overshadowed a flurry of mergers in the U.S.
Germany's economy shrank in the final three months of last year. The slowdown in Europe's largest economy deepened the recession across the region. That pulled down European stock markets.
American Airlines and U.S. Airways have agreed to combine in an $11 billion deal that creates the world's largest airline. Ketchup maker H.J. Heinz is selling itself for $23 billion to an investment group that includes Warren Buffett. That acquisition follows another $20 billion deal earlier this month — Dell Computer's move to take itself private.
On the jobs front, the government reported that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits fell by 27,000 last week, an indication that hiring could improve.

I shared the link to it and wrote: "Share this with everyone you know! We have got to take our country back and laugh these lunatics to scorn!"
Well one of my friends forwarded the link and message to her cousin who responded: "Fortunately, we just accomplished taking our country back from the lunatics."
That attitude is so prevalent among Democrats and Republicans alike (that the people in "that other" party are the clueless ones), even though the leadership of both parties over the past couple decades has been virtually indistinguishable, that I felt the need to share the comment with you along with my response.
In truth my Harry Reid song, my e-mail accusation of lunacy at our highest levels of leadership, and this entire website as a whole are not partisan rants directed at the Democrats. I equally criticize and ridicule the leaders of both parties because they are often both equally inclined to support critically flawed and ridiculous policies.
Anyways, here was my response to my friend:
I think your cousin means that the Republicans are the lunatics- sadly I think in a lot of cases your cousin is correct! That's just it- I don't take sides- I harshly criticize both because both parties are leading us down the wrong path. I wish your cousin could see that the Democrats are doing all the very same things that probably irk your cousin when the Republicans do them. I wish I could feel like your cousin, that we have taken our country back from the wrong kind of leadership, but every four years one half or the other of this country feels that way and I never get to feel that way! I always just lose : (

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Katy Perry Prepping Another Music Video
Katy Perry never stops! The singer is filming another music video, having only released the military-themed 'Part of Me' clip a few weeks ago.
The singer tweeted about the shoot without sharing many specifics. She revealed that she was on her third day of shooting and that she needed to pick a costume from her California Dreams tour for one of the last scenes of the shoot. While Perry did not divulge the most critical detail — like which song the video is for — one can assume it's either 'Wide Awake' or 'Dressin' Up' from 'Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.' We're going to go with 'Wide Awake' — it's seriously catchy and uplifting. She is really promoting the album's reissue until the very end and we can't say we blame her. She's churned out hit after hit. Why stop now?
Her first tweet read: "3rd long a– day of shooting… The new music video!!!!! #workinggirl" We doubt this shoot was harder than 'Part of Me,' where she transformed into Private Perry in the Marines!
She followed up asking fans their opinions on the costuming. She posted: "About to shoot one of the last scenes for the music video… I have to pick a costume from the Cali Dreams Tour, which would u pick? #KP3D"
There are so many confectionary creations to choose from, but we're really excited to see the latest Perry vid and to find out which song it's for. Knowing Perry, she'll want to top what she did last. That's good news for KatyCats.

Emydoidea blandingii
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Emydoidea blandingii (Holbrook, 1838)
Common Name(s):
Cistuda blandingii Holbrook, 1838
Emys blandingii (Holbrook, 1838)
|Taxonomic Notes:
|The species blandingii has generally been placed in Emydoidea in recent years, but has also been argued to belong in the genus Emys, based on molecular phylogeny results.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered A2cde+4ce ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|van Dijk, P.P. & Rhodin, A.G.J.
|Horne, B.D., Mittermeier, R.A., Philippen, H.-D., Quinn, H.R., Rhodin, A.G.J. & Vogt, R.C
Emydoidea blandingii is evaluated as Endangered A2cde+A4ce, given extensive slow declines of most of its populations from habitat loss and direct removal, accidental mortality and increased predation, and its very long generation time of 36–47 years and slow rate of potential recovery. The species was previously listed as LR/nt.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Emydoidea blandingii inhabits the Great Lakes region of Canada and the United States, the upper Mississippi basin, and the Niobrara and Platte Rover Systems of the Missouri; scattered populations occur in the lower Hudson Valley of New York, in the eastern Massachusetts (SE New Hampshire) southern Maine area, and in Nova Scotia (Iverson 1992, Congdon et al. 2008).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Canada (Nova Scotia, Ontario, Québec); United States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota)

Populations of Blanding's Turtle are often small and localized, with populations of a few dozen or hundred turtles, and densities ranging from 0.02 animals per hectare in Maine to 28/ha in Wisconsin, 55/ha in Missouri, and up to 57/ha in Nebraska. The largest known population, in Nebraska, is estimated at over 130,000 animals, excluding hatchlings and yearlings (Lang 2004). In contrast, Pennsylvania populations may total a few dozen individuals. Populations in Illinois and Ohio are perceived to be in ongoing decline, possibly associated with increased predation by raccoons (D. Mifsud, pers. comm. 2009).
Some populations appear stable over time, while others were documented as declining (Brodman et al. 2002, Smith et al. 2006). Summaries of these can be found in Congdon et al. (2008) and Ernst and Lovich 2009.
Participants at the MidWest USA Turtle RL WS estimated that 30–50% of suitable habitat and the populations they contained have been lost in recent decades, while many remaining populations have reduced in size.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Blanding's Turtle uses a variety of permanent and temporary wetland habitats, with a preference for shallow clear standing water with abundant aquatic vegetation, but can be found in almost any waterbody in their area. The animals are highly mobile and move extensively between wetlands; nesting occurs in open grasslands, often well away from water. Animals leave strong scent trails, increasing their vulnerability to raccoon and fox predation. The species feeds mainly on crayfish and other small animal prey, but also scavenges and takes plant material and seeds.
Males reach 28 cm carapace length (CL), females 22 cm CL. Maturity is reached at about 12 years (20 cm CL) in males, and at 14–20 years (16–19 cm CL) in females. Longevity can be at least 77 years in the wild. Blanding's Turtle has been subject of arguably the most detailed population dynamics analysis of any turtle, documenting that animals mature at the age of 14 at the earliest, and generation times were calculated to vary between 36 and 47 years (Congdon et al. 2000, Ernst and Lovich 2009).
Females produce one or two clutches of 8–15 eggs (range 3–22, substantial geographic variation) in a reproductive year, but only half the females in a population may reproduce in a given year. Incubation takes about 82–96 (range 65–128) days, with substantial geographic variation. Hatchlings measure about 33 mm.
[Reviews available in Congdon et al. (2008), and Ernst and Lovich (2009)]
|Terrestrial; Freshwater
|Generation Length (years):
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Use and Trade:
|Blanding's Turtle is not consumed and occurs in the commercial pet trade at relatively low but persistent numbers in the high-end pet trade in recent years, including export to Japan. Offers include lots of multiple adult females suspected to be caught from the wild.
|Major Threat(s):
Blanding's Turtles have been reported as being impacted by road mortality and collection for trade. They also at least locally from habitat degradation, fragmentation and destruction, and increased predation of eggs, young and possibly adults from subsidized predators (i.e., unnaturally large populations of predators subsidized by easily available resources near human settlements), but little quantitative data on the severity of these factors appears available.
Road mortality risk increases with progressive expansion and increased density of rural road networks.
Blanding's Turtle is the second commonest turtle species in bycatch of the commercial trapping of snapping turtles using baited traps, and a ready market exists (Harding, pers comm. Aug 2009).
Given its particular population dynamics, slightly increased rates of loss of juveniles and adults significantly affects a population.
|Conservation Actions:
Blanding's Turtle is listed as Endangered (Nova Scotia) and Threatened (Great Lakes/St. Lawrence) under Canada's Species at Risk Act.
It is protected under State legislation and regulations in Massachusetts, New York, and presumably other States.
The species occurs in a number of protected areas across its range, including a very large population in Nebraska. In Michigan, management of wetlands over five acres has been transferred from State to Federal administration. Conservation action programs for the species have been developed in several US States and in Nova Scotia.
Immediate conservation needs include:

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- If there's anything encouraging that came out of Barry University's 25-12, 25-23, 25-22 volleyball lost to the No. 2-ranked team in the country Saturday when Tampa visited Health & Sports Center, it was that the Buccaneers didn't go easy.
Following a throw-away first set, the Bucs battled the Spartans (23-1, 10-0 Sunshine State Conference) brilliantly in the second and third sets. Ivana Didanovic's kill in the second set kept the Bucs within one, 14-13. Didanovic converted twice more in the set four and six serves later to help Barry maintain striking distance, despite trailing 17-16. Laine Cielena banged down a kill, and Jayla Trombley had one of her own as Barry (8-13, 1-9) kept it a one-point deficit, 19-18.
Tampa, which hit .255, crept ahead 23-19. But after Holly Reschke's attack error, Barry freshman Kristen Reid came on to serve the Bucs to a 23-23 deadlock on four straight points, which Spartans coach Chris Catanach tried unsuccessfully to curb Barry's momentum by calling a timeout. The Bucs freshman wasn't fazed on the serve after the timeout, and fellow rookie Jenny Trinidad's kill knotted the match at 23-23.
But the Spartans, which outblocked the Bucs 11-7, secured the final two points of the set to take a 2-0 lead into the intermission.
Tampa hit .370 in the opening set, but the Buccaneers responded with better defense as the match wore on. Barry held the Spartans to .267 hitting in the third set and .162 in the third. Tampa matched Barry in attack errors with each team guilty of 19.
The Buccaneers rolled to a 7-3 lead in the third set on Tashalyn Begon's kill. The Spartans rallied to take an 11-10 lead following a pair of Buccaneer errors. Jasmine Serna fired off an ace to keep Barry within one, 14-13. It was Serna's second ace of the set.
The Spartans, who withstood Trombley's kill that helped Barry remain within one, 17-16, won 10 of the next 15 points to take move within a point of closing out the match. But a kill by Begon, setting error by Kahley Patrick, attack error by Allee Stelogeannis and a kill by Carreror pulled the Bucs back within three, 24-22, before Tampa wrapped it up.
Carrero finished with eight kills, snapping her six-match streak of double digit putaways. Trombley had six kills, and Didanovic five as the Buccaneers had a .101 attack percentage. Reid had a team-high seven digs, including a pair of crucial ones that kept extended rallies alive for the Buccaneers before the offense capitalized at important junctures in the match.
Tampa had four aces, while Barry finished with three. Mariana Ruiz, who came in to serve, ripped off an ace upon her entrance into the match.
Begon and Didanovic each had four block assists.
Barry will play at Palm Beach Atlantic Tuesday at 7 p.m. in West Palm Beach.

SOLID DUTERTE SUPPORTERS PLEASE SUBSCRIBE For More Updates.
Duterte has expressed his desire to build on the stellar accomplishments of the administration of outgoing president Benigno Aquino III, particularly the latter's good governance initiatives and critical structural reforms that transformed the Philippines from being "the sick man of Asia" into "Asia's rising tiger." Of his ten-point socioeconomic agenda revealed on Monday, June 20, for example, his first point was to continue and maintain current macroeconomic policies, including fiscal, monetary and trade policies.
However, he intends to depart from Aquino's legacy of instituting slow but steady macroeconomic reform by advancing an economic agenda which seeks to upgrade, accelerate as well as expand the government's basic services that shall render the country's macroeconomic environment more conducive for the flourishing of businesses, influx of investments and conduct of seamless trade within the country and the greater ASEAN region. Some megaprojects worth anticipating include: (a) three major railway systems, namely the Mindanao railway, Manila-Bicol railway, and Manila-Batangas railway; (b) Zamboanga Ecozone, Southern Mindanao Growth Corridor (General Santos growth corridor and Davao Gulf Industrial corridor); and the South Mindanao-North Sulawesi ro-ro link, among others.
Duterte intends to overcome the alleged structural dissonance between macroeconomic reform which has been the hallmark of Aquino's "Daang Matuwid" program and concrete improvement of living conditions and standards of Juan dela Cruz. In doing so, he has talked about pursuing the following: generation of domestic jobs; increase of employment; abolition of contractualization; promotion of livelihood; agricultural modernization; and entrepreneurial, technological and industrial advancement with just taxation and equitable distribution of wealth while caring for the environment for sustainable development.

Choosing the Right Law School / Florida Coastal / Charleston / Charlotte« on: April 11, 2011, 06:04:19 PM »
I pulled a 148 on my first LSAT with a 2.9 GPA, I'm retaking the LSAT in October and shooting to pull a 151-153 as my first one was an unprepared fluke. I'm from SC so I'm trying to stay close to home as I'm going to take the SC Bar. Out of the three above, which one would be the more plausible school to get into? I know none of these are amazing schools, however its kind of what I "think" I may have a chance with. Any Pros or Cons??

Firstly I hope I put this in the right forum... It isn't really an OS problem, but it's not security related either, so if I've put this in the wrong place... well.. sorry.
Here's the situation...
After a server crash I've restored everything from tape, however it turned out that the system state backup hadn't been performed properly making it unable for me to restore it.
As a result I've manually reïnstalled everything using data from tape.
Even though I've got everything up and running again I'm still left with one problem I'm so far unable to fix.
The users used to have a Dutch version of Outlook. In stead of Inbox you've got "postvak in", in stead of deleted items you've got "verwijderde items", etc.
Ever since I restored their mailboxes from tape they have still got the Dutch versions, however next to it are also the English versions of the folders. So they've got BOTH "inbox" and "postvak in".
Furthermore their old mail is still in the Dutch version of the folder, while the new mail arrives at the English version, making it even more confusing to the users.
I've been looking in to tools like ExMerge and tried all kinds of settings on the Exchange server, but have been unable to find a solution so far.
The server is a Windows 2003 server with Exchange 2003.
The goal is, if possible, to get all users back to using the Dutch folders and removing the English ones.
Any help would, as ever, be greatly appreciated.

10 Artists You Didn't Know Were Canadian
Artsy Editorial
Gary Taxali is considered one of the preeminent contemporary illustrators, having worked with popular media outlets and publications including Rolling Stone, GQ, Newsweek, The New York Times, and MTV; in 2012, the Canadian government minted quarters with six of Taxali's designs. Taxali also makes mixed-media paper works and paintings using repurposed materials in a style inspired by a combination of vintage comics and advertising—an aesthetic he calls "wacky." He also employs humor and easily relatable imagery to create narratives on more solemn themes, or what he describes as his "preoccupation of constant paradoxes such as human relationships, love, isolation […] economic despair and frustration." Taxali often features recurring characters in his illustrations, including a toy monkey whom he considers a guide through much of his work.

In celebration of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, baseball player Matt Kemp served as the grand marshall for the annual Kingdom Day Parade Los Angeles parade held Saturday (Jan. 19).
Named the 2013 Celebrity Grand Marshall, Kemp cruised down the parade route alongside his mother, Judy Henderson.
Never far removed from the legacy of those who paved the way for him, Kemp donned a No. 42 baseball jersey, in honor of Jackie Robinson.The legendary baseball player became the first Black person to integrate into the major leagues more than 60 years ago.
In the late 1940s, the then Brooklyn Dodgers' club president and general manager, Branch Ricker, began scouting for Black players to enter the league. He interviewed Robinson as a potential player for the Montreal Royals, and formally committed him to the gig in November of 1945.
Since Robinson's signing there have been several Black stars who have made waves in the field of baseball, including Barry Bonds who –despite being stripped of his accolades due to steroids use– stands as the only player to be named MVP a record seven times.

Getting Started
- Physical Activity
- Getting Started
- Helpful Hints
- Helpful Links
Everyone can benefit from some type of physical activity, and it's never too late to start. But sometimes getting started is the hardest part. It's important to be realistic about what you can do. If you have not been active for a while, start out slow; don't overdo it the first few days or weeks. Add a few more minutes to your activity each day until you reach your goal.
Deciding on the right type of activity for you is an important step in becoming more active. Choose activities you like to do – you'll be more likely to stick with them – or try something new you've always wanted to do. Ask a friend to join you. Many people find that being active with a friend or family member makes the activity more enjoyable.
People with certain health conditions should talk to their doctor before increasing their physical activity level. You should check with your health care provider if you:
- Are a man over the age of 40 or a woman over the age of 50
- Have had a heart attack, have heart disease or a family history of heart disease
- Have lung, liver or kidney disease
- Have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis or asthma
- Feel pain in your chest, joints or muscles during physical activity
- Have had joint replacement therapy
- Smoke
- Are obese
- Take medication to manage a chronic condition
- Are pregnant
- Are unsure about your health status
Working with your doctor may be the best way to plan an exercise program that's right for you.
Some people find it difficult to be physically active for a variety of reasons. They don't think they have the time or energy. They have family and work obligations. They are afraid of being injured. But with some planning, most people can find a way to be more physically active and improve their health. More information about finding ways to make physical activity a part of your life can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/life/overcome.htm.

ENGLAND reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 tonight with a 1-0 win over Ukraine.
The result - and France's defeat against Sweden - means England finished top of Group D and now play Italy in Kiev on Sunday night at 7.45pm.
A headed goal just after half-time by Wayne Rooney, who returned to the side after serving a two-match suspension, was enough to give Roy Hodgson's men victory.
England later had a stroke of luck when a Ukrainian shot appeared to cross the line before John Terry hooked the ball clear. However television replays showed a Ukraine player had been offside in the build-up, unseen by the officials.
Former Saints stars Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both made brief appearances as second-half substitutes.

Actor Liam Hemsworth is still livid about the criticism his girlfriend Miley Cyrus faced for joking about her love of marijuana at her 19th birthday party last year.
The singer/actress' birthday bash in November became big news when video footage of her cheeky speech surfaced online.
In the clip, Cyrus made reference to reports she was a 'pot head' when she was presented with her cake, which featured the likeness of reggae legend Bob Marley.
She quipped, "You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake – you know you smoke way too much f**kin' weed."
Gossip bloggers reported what they considered an admission of her marijuana use, and Hemsworth is still angry about the controversy.
He tells Details magazine, "She's in a room full of her best friends and you have one person who comes in there and videos it. The poor girl can't have one night where she can feel safe in her own world. It's ridiculous."
Cyrus faced similar criticism recently when photos of her posing suggestively with a penis-shaped cake at Hemsworth's 22nd birthday party in January hit the internet.
Conservative groups condemned her actions, calling them "disgusting" and "sleazy".

East District School Board members falls short of needed signatures
One member of the Buffalo School Board appears to be out of a job weeks before the May 7 election gets under way.
The Erie County Board of Elections found East District member Rosalyn L. Taylor fell 80 signatures short of the 500 needed to qualify for the ballot. Taylor, who turned in 1,386 signatures, was appointed to replace Vivian O. Evans in January 2011.
"The petition was rejected today by the Board of Elections. We reviewed it line by line, and determined she had an invalid number of signatures," said Ralph Mohr, one of the two county election commissioners.
Mohr said the primary problem was that too many signatures were obtained from people who lived outside the district.
Taylor said she will decide quickly whether to mount a legal challenge in State Supreme Court.
"I was shocked that I didn't have enough signatures," Taylor said. "I'm meeting with my campaign manager, and we're going to decide what to do next. It's a hard decision as to what to do on this late date."
Taylor blamed inexperience.
"Sometimes you work hard, but you don't work smart," she said.
Challenges also will be heard Monday against West District member Ralph R. Hernandez, who delivered 1,084 signatures, and Central District challenger Joseph Mascia, who brought in 745 signatures. Mohr said they will complete the process by Thursday.
In addition, general objections have been filed against Ferry District Member Sharon Belton-Cottman, who is running unopposed; Central District Member Mary Ruth Kapsiak; and Central District challenger Bryon McIntyre.
Specific objections, which had to be postmarked by Thursday, are required to trigger a petition review. Mohr said he expected they would be received by Monday.
