History, Sociology and Anthropology News
Emily Dean, Associate Professor of Anthropology, is currently co-authoring a book (with Bill Sillar) titled Mountains, Myths, and Monuments: An Andean Landscape Biography as well as contributing to an edited volume: Recent Archaeology at Formative Chiripa.
Professor Dean received SUU's Outstanding Educator award in May, co-directed the Archaeology Field-school in June (this year students excavated at Fort Harmony and surveyed public lands in the Cedar area), and -- generously funded by a FSSF research grant -- investigated late Inca occupations in the Cuzco, Peru region in July and August. Recently, she and Barbara Frank renewed a $25,000 collaborative grant with Bryce Canyon National Park. This two year project trains and employs SUU students to help conduct archaeological surveys in the park. Emily is excited about the prospect of helping to design and implement a new Anthropology major.
Elizabeth A. Olson (PhD, Case Western Reserve University, 2009) is a new Assistant Professor of Anthropology in the History, Sociology, and Anthropology department at Southern Utah University, in Cedar City, Utah. I am very excited to be a member of the History, Sociology, and Anthropology team at SUU and am particularly enthusiastic about our new Anthropology major. My research interests are related to plants and health – ethnomedical systems, community-based development, international health, and anthropological field methods. My anthropological research has looked at traditional healing systems in Utah, the Bolivian Amazon, and Mexico. My work with traditional medical systems has led me to focus on the intersections among health, environments, and economic markets. Themes in my courses include global health, medical anthropology, cross-cultural models of childbirth, sustainable development and conservation, environmental anthropology, and cultural studies of science.
Last year, I published my ethnographic study of conservation and traditional medicine in the context of community development in Mexico, Indigenous Knowledge and Development: Livelihoods, health experiences and medicinal plant knowledge in a Mexican Biosphere Reserve, (2014). I am currently engaged in research regarding the globalization of medicinal plant knowledge and the relationships between indigenous, professional, and lay uses of medicinal plant knowledge across various ethnomedical systems (especially homeopathy and anthroposophy). I am co-editing a new ethnographic series Global Change, Global Health, with my colleague Dr. Cissy Fowler (Wofford College). I serve actively in the Society of Ethnobiology and the Culture & Agriculture section of the American Anthropological Association. I co-edited a Special Issue for Conservation and Society "The Biodiversity Conservation Industry in Mexico" with Jose Martínez-Reyes and Leticia Durand Smith which was released in 2014. I am currently working on a project with John Richard Stepp to co-edit a volume for the Springer series on Ethnobiology titled, Plants & Health: New Perspectives on the Human Relationships to Medicinal Plants. The volume on Plants & Health includes contributions by scholars from around the globe and highlighting diverse theoretical stances on the many ways that human groups rely on plants to maintain health.

Dr. Larry Ping presented a paper at the Thirty-ninth International German Studies Conference in Washington D.C. last week. His paper, "The Adventures of Gustav Freytag: An 'Embedded' Liberal Journalist at the Battle of Wörth", was part of a panel on liberal political discourse in Prussia. The paper is part of a longer manuscript he is preparing to submit for consideration for publication to the German Studies Review. It marks the latest results of his ongoing research into German liberalism during the period of German unification, 1848-1871. In addition, Professor Ping published the following book review in the German Studies Review:History
Jens Uwe Guettel. German Expansionism, Imperial Liberalism, and the United States, 1776-1945. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2012. German Studies Review, Vol. 37, Number 2. May 2014.
Dr. Mark E. Miller's new book, Claiming Tribal Identity: The Five Tribes and the Politics of Federal Acknowledgment (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press), was selected for inclusion in Choice's annual Outstanding Academic Title list for 2014. In awarding his book this recognition, Choice, Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, notes that less than 3 percent of the more than 25,000 titles submitted for review were named Outstanding Academic Title in 2014. As Choice noted, these titles "are truly the best of the best." Claiming Tribal Identity also was a finalist for the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association Best Subsequent Book Award for 2013.
Also he presented "Policing the Boundary of Tribal Identity: The Cherokee Fraudulent Indian Task Force and the Problem of Optional Ethnicity," at the Western History Association Annual Conference, Tucson, Arizona, October 10, 2013.
He served as Chair/Commenter for the panel, "Mormon-Indian Relations," at the Fiftieth Annual Mormon History Association Conference, Provo, Utah, June 2015. He served as consultant and interviewee for the PBS film, Beyond Recognition, by Michelle Grace Steinberg, which premiered on KRCB, California, November 23, 2014. It won "Best Short" at the San Francisco Green Festival (2015) among other honors.
He also was consultant and interviewee for the program, "BP Five Years Later: Deepwater Horizon and the Cost of Oil," on the impact of this disaster on the United Houma Nation of Louisiana, that aired, April 2015, on Making Contact: Radio Stories and Voices to Take Action.
Professor Curtis Bostick is looking forward to the Spring semester 2014. He will teach two of his favorite courses: HIST 4600: Women in Ancient, Medieval and Early Modern Europe and HIST 4570: The European Witch-hunts. Just recently he submitted a paper for publication on the Malleus Maleficarum (Hammer of Witches;1486-87) and has begun an investigation into 16th century demonological treatises.
Dr. Michelle Orihel recently published two pieces on how she brings her research on the politics and print culture of the early American republic into her classroom at SUU. First, she published an article in Common-place: The Interactive Journal of Early American Life on an innovative toasting activity that she developed for her early republic course (HIST 4720). Second, she wrote a guest blog post for "The Junto: A Group Blog on Early American History" on a learning exercise in which students in her colonial and revolutionary America class (HIST 4710) analyzed a song from the Tony-Award winning "Hamilton: An American Musical" in conjunction with the actual historical documents on which the song was based.
In addition, her article on the Democratic Society of Kentucky's campaign to win Navigation Rights to the Mississippi River during the 1790's will appear in the next issue of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society (Volume 114, Issue 3/4, Summer/ Autumn 2016). She has also written an article on pamphlets and pamphleteering in early American history that will be published in US Popular Print Culture to 1860, the fifth volume in the series The Oxford History of Popular Print Culture, edited by Ronald J. and Mary Saracino Zboray. This volume is slated for publication in 2018.
Dr. Dave Lunt: In addition to teaching courses on Ancient Greece, Western Civilization, World History, Sport History, and American Civilization, Dr. Dave Lunt is continuing his research on ancient Greece and ancient athletics.

Marcel Wanders, Paco Rabanne, Kate Winslet, Buzz Aldrin, Miss Piggy, Loïck Peyron... I would have loved to be in the room when Habitat finalized the list of celebrity designers who would be invited to create their new VIP For Kids collection of furniture, toys, and objects that hits stores on Feb. 20th.
Dezeen has several posts and pictures, and if you don't understand French, you won't mind clicking through to see everything on Marie Claire. If you do read French, though, you can't help but notice the sappy and/or silly puff quotes that accompany the designs, the "actual" designers being the worst offenders. Meanwhile, "amateurs" like the actors and the astronaut sound the most in touch with either their own childhood memories, or the actual life of a kid. I choose to overlook Peyron's insistence that the awesome, boat-inspired bed above, dubbed "Skipper," is only for a boy.
First off, Marcel Wanders, talking about the inspiration for his set of boxes, which scream femininity to him:
La femme porte en elle les secrets les plus précieux et fait naître les trésors les plus inestimables au monde, ainsi que notre avenir. Ces boîtes qui en renferment d'autres offrent une image de la maternité. Matryoshka est une boîte aux trésors.
[The woman carries in her the most precious secrets and gives birth to the most inestimable treasures in the world, even our future. These boxes which close within each other offer an image of maternity. Matryoshka is a box of treasures.]
For her part, Kate Winslet says her treasure chest filled with secret compartments was based on her own dream as a child, the fact that kids play dressup, and want someplace of their very own to stash their stuff.
In designing what I presume to be his first lamp, Aldrin said he knew exactly what he wanted, something to bring the moon he knew into a kid's room. The result is "Moonbuzz," a giant resin hanging lamp, which seems positively awesome.
Jacqueline Wilson [children's author, famous in Britain, had to look it up] phoned in "Storyland," a bookcase that looks like a house or a city skyline. Nothing earthshattering, but a fine concept for someone to actually think through someday.
Meanwhile, Daniel Radcliffe's [yes, as in Harry Potter] idea for "Cu-bed" is an ever-changing toy/chair/bed/fort a kid can move around herself. "Why be content with just one toy when you can have several?" Radcliffe asked himself.
No idea what any of these things'll cost, just that it'll be a bear to ship them back to the US.

|Town and Country Planning (Major Infrastructure Project Inquiries Procedure) (England) Rules 2002
Mr. Clifton-Brown: Will the Minister now give way?
Mr. McNulty: Of course.
Mr. Clifton-Brown: I am grateful that the Minister has found his courtesy. He talked about halving the time in which the Secretary of State makes a decision. The T5 inquiry took one and a half years, which means that a Minister would still take nine months after an exhaustive inquiry of four years under the tight time schedules laid down in the new procedures. Does the Minister think that nine months is appropriate?
Mr. McNulty: I really should not have bothered to take that intervention. Cutting time in half was simply a reference to the PCCD and our commitment in the planning Green Paper to halve where practicable our response time at the central level. I have said nothing about T5 or major infrastructure projects. The hon. Gentleman went way outside the area covered by the rules, and I was simply responding to what the hon. Member for Canterbury said about the delay at the tail end of smaller non-MIP public inquiries. That is what I mean when I refer to the PCCD and our wish and desire to halve the process. It had nothing to do with T5 or MIPs.
I profoundly disagree with the comment about an inspector being able to appoint a mediator. The whole point of a mediator—the Secretary of State may or may not be a clumsy tool by which to do it—is that they are distinct, separate and independent from an inspector. As the process unfolds, an inspector should not be party to anything other than the agreed mediation statement at the end of the mediation period. It would be wholly inappropriate if a mediator were seen to be appointed.
The project described by the hon. Member for Sutton Coldfield was not a MIP. I should have thought that he would know that nuclear power stations are not brought forward under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, to which the statutory instrument refers. They are brought forward by the Department of Trade and Industry under section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989, and separate rules apply to them. I should have thought that any member of the Committee would know that there is a little Act called the Highways Act 1980 under which all significant road developments are taken. It therefore makes perfect sense that roads do not figure in the statutory instrument.
As the Government have said in the House of Lords, there are no major conspiracies and no MIPs waiting to come along. It is tiresome to hear the hon.
Column Number: 027Member for Canterbury talk about plans to build a load of asylum seeker accommodation centres. I hope that that looks good in his little newsletter because it ill becomes him to raise the issue in that context.
In conclusion, the statutory instrument merely updates the rules that have prevailed before and have been updated more or less every two or three years. They will continue to be updated in that way because of the nature of significant projects. One of the few sensible things that Conservative Members said is that such projects are significant and matter to the local communities in which they occur, which is why they need to be streamlined and more efficient. When the rules are taken in the round rather than being considered separately, Conservative Members should see that the mediation, the pre-inquiry and the other elements will properly streamline the MIP process.

Fans can add MMA icon Randy Couture to the growing list of individuals who feel Strikeforce's days are numbered. "The Natural" was recently asked for his informed opinion on the company's woes, a matter he has some personal investment in as well considering his son Ryan Couture's spot on the Strikeforce roster.
"I think you're going to see the Strikeforce guys absorbed and plucked like they did the WEC," explained the elder Couture in an interview with MMA Uncensored.
Strikeforce recently cancelled their second straight show after injuries and a lack of divisional depth left the cards barren to the point broadcaster Showtime pulled the plug on airing the events. The company is expected to put together a stacked lineup in January with multiple champions scheduled for action, though it's unclear what will happen to Strikeforce beyond the effort.
Couture refused to speculate beyond his initial remark, though the former champion's assessment certainly seems logical. Zuffa brought over the likes of Antonio Silva, Nick Diaz, and Alistair Overeem to the UFC shortly after purchasing Strikeforce in March 2011, and UFC President Dana White has also publicly stated his interested in having Gilbert Melendez and Ronda Rousey join the UFC as well.
Regarding his baby boy's future, Couture things were ultimately up to his son and felt a resolution would be in place in the next few months when his contract expired.
"They're not gonna do (Ryan) any favors in the UFC," acknowledged Couture, adding he also felt his son was at the same level as a number of UFC lightweights but still needed to make sure he was ready for a run in the Octagon in case he only gets one shot at success in the infamous eight-sided structure.

The entire villa accommodates eight people and can be rented separately or as an ensemble. In the large house, each of three enchanting air-conditioned bedrooms sleeps two and opens to several generous living/dining spaces, including a wrap around patio that leads to the ocean-view pool refreshed by a fountain. Amble down the palm-lined path to enjoy the casita, abundant in charms, including a kitchen, living room, master bedroom, air-conditioning and a broad deck facing the sea. The pool house includes a full washer dryer. With two fully equipped kitchens, you may choose to dine at the villa or venture to any of Vieques' delightful eateries. Your only choice then becomes whether to dip into the pool or to explore which of an array of breathtaking beaches, all a short jaunt from Villa Milagros.
Hope you all are doing good...everything is fine here...Red misses you folks...but has been busy escorting guests down the hill to the beach pretty much daily!!! Thanks again for staying at Villa Milagros we hope you had a great trip with your family and friends. Stay warm! thomas/red
Villa Milagros was well managed by the property manager who was responsive and kind. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and meets all needs. The veranda is HUGE and a wonderful place to relax with a book or to meet for a meal. The pool was perfect for our 3 young children. One afternoon we came home from the beach and had a dozen horses on our front lawn. We loved our getaway just a couple of miles out of the Esperanza Center. Truly an off the map retreat spot! We felt safe and like the house was clean. I would recommend this house to my friends and family.
Excellent location. Gorgeous views. We stayed with a large group for a wedding. The set up with 3 large bedrooms really worked well. This villa is complete for all your needs. We enjoyed the grill and hammock. Our grandsons couldnt stay out of pool. What a refreshing pool it is to get back to after a day in town and beaches. This location is ideal location for the beaches. Black beach a short walk away. Thomas was very attentive. He addressed all of our needs and had great knowledge of the island. Really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this property. We will stay here again.
A group of 11 of us stayed at the Villa Milagros compound which consisted of 2 Casita's and a three bedroom Villa. Over all it was a great experience. Thomas lives next door and was very attentive to our needs. Everything is exactly as it looks in the pictures. We enjoyed the pool daily, and explored different beaches around the island. We barbecued and cooked breakfast/lunch/dinner most days. Everything that was needed was available for that. My wife and I renewed our vows on the island to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, and Thomas helped out with the selection of place, which was an ancient tree on this property with a view of the sunset. It was magical, and we could not have asked for a better place. I would highly recommend Villa Milagros as a property, and Thomas as the host. When my family & I return to Vieques, we will definitely be staying in one of Thomas places. If its a large group, we will be back at Milagros!
Our stay at Villa Milagros could not have been more perfect. First, we elected to take a taxi from San Juan to Fajardo and then a ferry to the island, rather than taking a plane. It was easy and very romantic, as well as inexpensive ($100 for the taxi regardless of number of passengers, $2 pp for the ferry and $25 taxi to the house. We arrived late at night, and Thomas Martin (neighbor and caretaker) was awaiting us on the very dark road with a flashlight to guide us. The next day, he offered us a ride to the car rental place. He checked in with us from time to time to see if there was anything we needed- very kind.
The house is very large, beautifully painted in Caribbean colors, and even though it was very hot all week we never once used the a/c but instead kept all window open for a nice breeze (there are window bars all around so this is safe). The sounds of the jungle were unusual for us city-dwellers but very romantic once you get used to them.
The large pool with waterfall is definitely a life-saver as you can only stay for so long on the beach and in the salt-water each day. It has beachballs floating in it to prevent the iguanas from taking a dip.
During our stay we went to two different beaches each day (you will need a 4x4 car), so as to see the maximum of this beautiful island. All the beaches were amazing: we could not agree on a favorite. Make sure you bring your snorkel gear.
In the late afternoon, we always came back home to relax at the pool and home-cook our meals. There is a large BBQ on the deck as well.
The house is really spacious and one has a choice of decks and rooms to hang out in. Each bedroom has their won bathroom so you always have lots of space. The neighbor's dog, Red, was a sweetheart and liked to quietly hang out with us at night. He would bark only when a horse or a big toad or iguana would approach the house, which made us feel well cared for and protected.
This was truly a dream vacation and we highly recommend this property if you want to get away from it all while having all the luxuries that you may require.
6 of us comfortably enjoyeddd ths spacious house wih lovely covered deck area and grill. The pool was a bonus for a quick dip when we didn't feel like heading the short walk to the bbbbeach. The walk to town is a good 20 minutes, but folks are friendly and will stop and give you a ride... or rent a car or scooter, which allows you to explore the many beaches on the island. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils(although the knives could use some sharpening). Thomas was right next door and very attentive. Be sure to kayak the Bioluminescent Bay! Each room had a double bed and roomy bathroom. Extra single mattress for additional "room" in the living space. Loved to sleep with the sound of the waves coming from afar!
|Cleaning Fee
Villa Milagros has Casita Milagros on the same property available for an additional $150.00 per night that would accommodate 8 guests in total. Casita Milagros also has its own kitchen, bar and private deck and gardens.

What happens when a Chinese company arrives in a remote area of Africa to build a road?
Bram Van Paesschen, director of the new film "Empire of Dust", had a rare opportunity to find out and to film the Chinese contractor's travails – from locating construction materials to learning how to communicate with the Congolese.
DATE: March 9th
TIME: 6-7:30pm
VENUE: Embassy of Belgium, Sanlitun Lu 6
ENTRANCE: free to FCCC members, 80 RMB on the door to non-members
REGISTRATION: please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Lao Yang and Eddy both work for the Chinese Railway Engineering Company. They have just set up camp near the remote mining town of Kolwezi in Katanga province of the RDC. The company's goal is to repair the road – stretching 300km – that connects Kolwezi with the provincial capital, Lubumbashi.
Lao Yang is head of logistics for his team. Using Eddy, a Congolese man who speaks fluent Mandarin, as an intermediary, Lao Yang is forced to leave the camp and deal with local Congolese entrepreneurs in search of the construction materials he needs to build the road.
What follows is an endless, harsh, but absurdly funny roller coaster of negotiations and misunderstandings, as Lao Yang learns about the Congolese way of making deals.
Bram Van Paesschen was born in 1979 in Vilvoorde, Belgium. He graduated in 2002 from Sint-Lukas in Brussels, where he specialized in film/video documentary work. He lives and works in Brussels. "Empire of Dust" is his fifth movie.

GSK stops Phase-II lupus trial
The 2012 Galapagos-GlaxoSmithKline alliance has been partly idled. Belgium-based Galapagos announced Monday that GSK has stopped Phase-II exploration of its JAK1 inhibitor GSK2586184 for systemic lupus erythematosus due to lack of effect.
Galapagos said that GSK has put an exploratory half-phase test of this same inhibitor in ulcerative colitis on hold.
Phase-II dosing in a third scenario—psoriasis—has wrapped and the company expects to provide top-line results in the first half of this year. This endpoint means GSK may cough up a milestone payment if results equal proof-of-concept.

A Little Beef, A Little Beer...A Lot Of Mushrooms
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: When I first started making Carbonnade years ago, it was all about the beef. Oh, I always added a few mushrooms to stretch out the stew, but still, it was the beef. As the years passed I found myself adding more and more mushrooms and less meat until all of a sudden I was making a beefy mushroom stew. The creminis have such a beefy flavor and absorb so much more in the short time they cook. —inpatskitchen
Serves: 4 to 6 depending
pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
slices bacon, diced
large onions, sliced
cloves garlic, sliced
bay leaf
12 ounce can or bottle of beer ( I use a lager)
enough chicken broth to cover meat as it cooks
pounds cremini mushrooms, halved if large
instant flour (Wondra) for thickening
cup chopped parsley
sliced green onions for garnish
- Season the meat with a little salt and pepper and brown well in the olive oil in a dutch oven. You probably want to do this in a couple of batches so the meat browns well and doesn't steam. Remove the meat to a plate.
- Add the diced bacon to the pot and saute until it starts to render its fat. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions start to brown, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Add the meat and any accumulated juices to the pot.
- Add the beer, bay leaf and enough chicken broth to cover the meat.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 hours or until the meat is fork tender, adding more broth if needed.
- After the 2 hours, add the parsley and mushrooms and simmer about 15 minutes more.
- Stir in enough of the instant flour to thicken to your desired consistency.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve over buttered noodles or mashed potatoes garnished with a little of the sliced green onion.

My name is Robert, I am 20 and I live in corpus Christi Texas ( the tip of Texas that goes in the gulf of Mexico). I have used the site quite a lot but decided to wait till I got my second set going. I had started dreading awhile back but started over bcuz I didnt like the way it was started (wax). I just started and finished my second set today(9-03-11) THANKS to the help of my mom.
I have wanted dreads for a really long time bcuz my hair is sooo ridiculous to do anything else. I have like 10 cow licks on random spots that make my hair go all crazy. Plus i was a scar magnet as a kid so short hair is a no go. I love not doing anything with my hair besides cleaning it bcuz i am uber lazy. I love the freeness and wild and crazyness.
I decided to go the waxless route this time and just try back combing and RnT on some. I am still learning as I go so im excited to see what will happen with my new dreads. I am open to any ideas on how to maintain and clean them. I know the basics but can never learn enough.... Although im not a fan of the picks here is a pic of how they look after a couple hours.
love the site, SE you saved my first set.

Harold Fowler McCormick (May 2, 1872 – October 16, 1941) was an American businessman. He was chairman of the board of International Harvester Company and a member of the McCormick family. in 1948 he was awarded the Henry Laurence Gantt Medal by the American Management Association and the ASME.[1]
Harold Fowler McCormick was born in Chicago May 2, 1872, to inventor Cyrus Hall McCormick (1809–1884) and philanthropist Nancy Fowler (1835–1923).[2][3] During the 1890s he competed in the US National Tennis Championships.[4] In 1895 he married Edith Rockefeller (1872–1932), the youngest daughter of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937) and schoolteacher Laura Celestia "Cettie" Spelman (1839–1915). McCormick became the third inaugural trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation. He was also a trustee of the Rockefeller-created University of Chicago. He and Edith had five children before divorcing in December 1921:
- John Rockefeller McCormick (February 24, 1896 – January 2, 1901), died young from scarlet fever
- Editha McCormick (September 17, 1897 – June 11, 1898)
- Harold Fowler McCormick Jr. (November 15, 1898 – January 6, 1973),[5] who married Anna Urquhart Brown Potter. She was previously married to James Alexander Stillman and was the daughter of James Brown Potter and Mary Cora Urquhart.
- Muriel McCormick (1903 – March 18, 1959)[6]
- Mathilde McCormick (April 8, 1905 – May 18, 1947)[7]
As an officer of the Aero Club of Illinois, founded February 10, 1910, McCormick became the third president in 1912, following Octave Chanute and James E. Plew.[8][9]
In 1914, McCormick, Plew, and Bion J. Arnold attempted to form a commuter airline which they announced would begin service in May, "using seaplanes to ferry passengers between various North Shore suburbs and Grant Park and the South Shore Country Club, of which he was a founder. Lake Shore Airline, which had two seaplanes, was intended to be a profit-making venture charging a steep twenty-eight-dollar round-trip fare between Lake Forest and downtown Chicago on four daily scheduled circuits. However, Chicago's irregular weather, especially the crosswinds, made a shamble of schedules, and the airline disappeared before the end of the year."[10][11]
McCormick married Polish opera singer Ganna Walska in 1922.[12] They divorced in 1931.
During the transition period between these two women, McCormick sought to fortify himself by undergoing an operation by Serge Voronoff, a surgeon who specialized in transplanting animal glands into aging men with impotency.[13] He resided at 1000 Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. McCormick became chairman of the board of International Harvester Company in 1935, replacing his older brother Cyrus Jr. (1859–1936).
McCormick died on October 16, 1941, of a cerebral hemorrhage, at his home in Beverly Hills, California.[3][14]
Orson Welles claimed that McCormick's lavish promotion of Walska's opera career—despite her renown as a terrible singer—was a direct influence on the screenplay for Citizen Kane, wherein the titular character does much the same for his second wife.[15]:497 Samuel Insull, president of a utilities holding empire that included Commonwealth Edison, was another influence,[15]:49 along with William Randolph Hearst.[16]:78

This is a great Filipino purple yam cake.
have a lil' question... what do you mean by 1 cup ube "cooked and finely grated" do i have to cook it first? how can i grate it if i cooked it? or is the frozen ok? thank you!!! - 11 Sep 2010
I didn't add the light corn syrup but i added another 2/3 cup of sugar instead. The cake was very moist. - 15 Jun 2017
Note: Ube (pronounced "OOH-bee") is also available in a jar, precooked and mashed. It can also be found in a packet in the frozen section. Many Asian stores sell either form of ube. Sometimes its labeled as "ube" or "purple yam". - 21 Mar 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

One question I get asked quite frequently is "would you live in the past if you could?"
Hmmm...good question. We can romanticize the past through tales in books or through movies - take the best of the 19th century and tell of that joyous part of life that makes the 19th century look so wonderful. By reading social history books, we can tell how long it took to travel from here to there by horse and carriage, how folks worked together as a family to grow the crops so they had plenty to eat come harvest time, made by hand whatever furniture needed to make life more comfortable, had no worries about paying the electric or cable bill...
We can also hear about the not so good part of Victorian living - sickness, rough daily occupations and working conditions, going to the dentist, mortality rates, pollution...
And, when the period book or movie is done we can 're-enter' the 21st century: cooling off in an air-conditioned car or house, maybe go for a dip in a pool, drive through a local Burger King, throw on a Green Day c d, and relax.
When one compares the past to the present, my guess would be that the greater majority of common folk would choose the present time in which to live.
I used to feel that way as well - and, I still do to a certain extent. But, the more 'time' moves on, the less comfortable I feel living in this day and age, and the greater my wish to be able to travel through time to my favorite era, that, of course, being the mid-19th century, has become.
Even with all of its roughness, I feel the Victorians had 'cornered the market' on dealing with life. They put their lives on the line daily - they accepted everything that came their way - good and bad - and gave glory to God no matter what.
I'm not like that. I try to be, but my mindset is of the 21st...well, OK, the 20th century, and we of this era in human history have become the stressful nation - a nation of want and need of material goods, not acceptance for what we already have; a society of Doubting Thomases instead of a nation of faith; a nation of blatant in-your-face screw-you-if-you-don't-like-it leftists instead of respecting our neighbor and fellow man for a belief in tradition.
In the 19th century - heck, even throughout most of the 20th century - people knew the difference between right and wrong. Today, folks instead will state, "what's wrong for one person might be right for another." They will claim there are no absolutes when it comes to such a "gray" area. That everything is pretty much 'right.'
They will also blame whatever and whoever they can for their own wrong doings (do you here me, Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick?).
Disciplining your child for being bad was not considered a crime - yes, it's true, contrary to the revisionist historians (who love to place today's societal ills upon our 19th century counterparts), kids back then were more disciplined and respectful. They knew the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. They knew the importance of having and practicing religious faith in their daily lives; the importance of family; the need for hard work in order to survive. Most did not feel they were owed anything by anybody, especially the government. They persevered through thick and thin and survived.
I guess my original answer to would I go back if I could go back in time was wrong - I am going to have to say "no, I would not."
Because, being a child of our modern times, I could never measure up to those wonderful survivors of the 19th century.
God Bless Them, and God Help Us.

Ask the legal expert: Legal concerns for MDS and RUG-IV
Attorney John Durso, Ungaretti & Harris LLP
Question: Do you foresee any legal concerns or cautions brought about by the implementation of the new MDS 3.0 and RUG-IV payment systems?Yes and no. Version 3.0 of the Minimum Data Set (MDS 3.0) instrument and the corresponding case-mix classification model, Resource Utilization Group (RUG IV), which were implemented Oct. 1, make significant changes to long-term care reimbursement. These changes, however, relate mainly to the financial, operational, and clinical practices of long-term care providers and raise few, if any, unique "legal" concerns.
Additionally, RUG-IV virtually eliminates the "extensive rehabilitation services" category of service and re-weights the lower rehabilitation services. Despite this change, the overall number of RUG categories will increase from 53 to 66. RUG-IV also reduces certain look-back periods so that providers may only count, in RUG calculations, services rendered after SNF placement. This reduced look-back period will decrease the number of residents in higher-paying RUG categories.
Successful facilities will develop clinical compliance programs and refocus the efforts of staff to meet Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services goals.
One initial step providers should take is to evaluate the change in service categories based on the type of residents they admit and the needs of those specific residents. A self-evaluation of that sort will allow management to narrowly tailor policies to the requirements of the MDS 3.0-RUG-IV framework. These sorts of strategic approaches will allow long-term care facilities to improve the quality of resident care and accurately document the care they provide to ensure they receive proper reimbursement for their services.

The Yowie
In Search of Australia's Bigfoot
The Yowie
In Search of Australia's Bigfoot
Australia's Greatest Zoological Mystery!
•336 pages summarising over 25 years of research
•Over 100 rare photos, maps and eyewitness sketches
•Includes a chronological listing of over 300 sightings
•Foreword by noted cryptozoologist Loren Coleman
During the early colonial era, Australian Aborigines often warned British settlers to beware of huge, ape-like creatures that lurked in the rugged mountains and deep forests of the island continent. Their people, they said, had been encountering the hairy horrors since time immemorial. They knew them by many names, including doolagarl, thoolagarl, jurrawarra and tjangara.
Soon the colonists, too, began to experience hair-raising encounters with the elusive, foul-smelling giants, which they referred to as "Australian apes", "yahoos" or "youries". Today, they are generally referred to as yowies. The list of modern-day eyewitnesses includes zoologists, rangers, surveyors and members of the elite Special Air Service Regiment.
This book chronicles the yowie saga from the pre-colonial era to the present day. It contains over 300 carefully documented eyewitness reports and a vast amount of other data, much of which suggests the mysterious creatures really do exist. The authors also critically examine the many theories that have been put forward to explain – or explain away – Australia's most baffling zoological mystery.
'The Yowie' has been pubished in the US and UK by Anomalist Books and in Australia by Strange Nation publishing. What's the difference? Nothing really content or design-wise.

About The Authors
Paul Cropper (left) has been involved in yowie research since 1976 when, at the age of 14, he uncovered several long-forgotten colonial-era eyewitness reports.
Tony Healy became fascinated by the mystery at about the same time, after hearing fragments of Aboriginal dulagarl lore on the New South Wales south coast.
They have collaborated on many projects, notably in co-authoring Out of the Shadows, Mystery Animals of Australia (Ironbark/Pan Macmillan, 1994), which contained a lengthy chapter about the elusive hairy giants.
They don't confine themselves to yowie research. Over the past 30 years they have searched for lake monsters, yetis, out-of-place big cats and other semi-legendary animals in Fiji, North America, the Bahamas, Iceland, Ireland, Great Britain, Nepal, Malaysia and in every state and territory of Australia.
Listen to Tim Binnalls' fantastic 2 hour interview with Tony Healy at Binnall of America, recorded April 2007.

KABUL (Reuters) - A roadside bomb exploded under a bus in Afghanistan on Monday killing nine civilians, police said, two days after 11 children and a woman were killed during a NATO attack on militants in another part of the country.
Also on the weekend, a car bomb killed five Americans, including three U.S. soldiers, a young diplomat and a U.S. Defense Department contractor, in the southern province of Zabul.
Violence traditionally picks up in the Afghan spring as snow melts in mountain passes. This year, a major question will be whether Afghan forces can deal with a surge of attacks as most foreign forces prepare to leave by the end of next year.
Twenty-two people were wounded in the Monday blast in Wardak province, southwest of the capital, Kabul, said the provincial police chief's spokesman, Abdul Wali.
The Interior Ministry said the bomb had been planted by the Taliban but a spokesman for the insurgents, Zabihullah Mujahid, said the bomb was not theirs.
"We strongly reject involvement in this attack," he said.
The bus had been travelling from the southern province of Ghazni to Kabul, Wali said.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force has not accepted responsibility for the deaths of the 11 children and the woman in Saturday's fighting in Kunar province, on the Pakistani border, saying it remained unclear who caused the deaths.
In one of the worst attacks in the war, Taliban fighters raided a provincial court compound in the western province of Farah last week and killed 44 people, most of them civilians.

VRS Student Profile: Alexander Stokes
VRS Bringing Real Life to the Art of Mathematics
Alexander Stokes
The University of Sydney
There is a traditional view that arts and sciences are adversaries, that you can be one or the other but not both. For Alexander Stokes, however, the two go hand in hand with mathematics his canvas. The University of Sydney and Vacation Research Scholarship (VRS) student is currently completing dual Bachelors in mathematics and the arts, including courses in electroacoustic and computer music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
With his earliest memories of maths linked to his now arts major, Japanese Studies, this enmeshing of arts and maths is nothing new.
"I began my formal education, including mathematics, in Japan. The language's mathematical and modular structure opened different ways of organising and sequencing ideas," Alexander recalls.
These early years fuelled a fascination with Japan that ultimately led him to mathematics and the discovery of its creative potential. Supervised by the University of Sydney's Professor Nalini Joshi AO, his VRS project focused on Integrable Systems and the algebraic and geometric properties that explain their strangely ordered behaviour.
"The more we can find out about the hidden structure behind such systems, the easier it will be for scientists to identify when they are dealing with one, such as in models of electrodiffusion or rogue open ocean waves," he explains.
As unpredictable as they are dangerous, rogue, freak, episodic or killer waves, create perilous conditions for ocean traffic. Understanding how to identify when and how these may occur in modelling offers improved capacity to predict conditions and increase safety for large vessels such as cruise liners.
It is this capacity to reformulate the scientific through insights and observation of the physical using the language, logic and rigour of maths that attracts Alexander to applied mathematics.
"We observe physical things then translate what we see into a model written in the language of mathematics. Applied mathematicians develop and analyse the problem and our observations to form conclusions about the system's initial state and evolution. There's a beautiful mathematical structure behind what we do and how."
For Alexander, VRS was a chance to taste the realities of this type of observation and research in a real-world context that requires problem solving, creativity and cross-discipline collaboration.
"Far from the stereotype of solitary scribbling and light bulb moments, this experience highlighted the critical need to be able to communicate your ideas and see what you do in wider perspectives both within and beyond your discipline," he reveals.
This is what makes the program such a powerful experience for mathematical sciences students.
"This is a fantastic program, not only does it provide a career development experience beneficial to future research and industry engagement, but it fosters essential ties and communication between the mathematical and general communities," says Alexander.
He also believes VRS is playing an important role in bridging the arts-science divide and opening creative engagement with maths to future generations of Australians.
"I don't think these worlds will always be so separate, and I think AMSI is doing a lot to accelerate that change to the benefit of academia and industry."

Stephen Colbert has nabbed the highly-coveted post-Super Bowl slot, making it the first time a late-night series will air after the big game.
A special live broadcast of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will air on CBS immediately following Super Bowl 50 on Feb. 7. "The Late Late Show with James Corden" will also air a special Super Bowl Sunday edition following the late local news.
Mr. Colbert took over the "Late Show" in September and while he has been able to draw a younger audience than his predecessor David Letterman, NBC's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" is still the most-watched late-night show in the 11:35 p.m. slot.
The post-Super Bowl slow has historically delivered massive ratings for whichever program is lucky enough to occupy it, but they don't often persist in the weeks or months that follow.
CBS's "Undercover Boss" averaged nearly 39 million viewers in 2010.
Following the most recent Super Bowl, NBC's "The Blacklist" delivered 25.7 million viewers and an 8.4 rating in the 18-to-49 demo. Through the first six weeks of the current TV season, "The Blacklist" is averaging a 1.5 among 18-to-49-year-olds.
The most watched program following the Super Bowl was in 1996 with the one-hour episode of "Friends," which averaged 52.9 million viewers and a 28.2 in the demo. Later that week it drew 33.6 million viewers, up 11% over its season-to-date average, but returned to the norm after that.

What is a PPA?
A power purchase agreement (PPA) is an innovative way for businesses, councils and other organisations to secure an energy supply at a reduced cost. It is essentially a financial agreement made between a renewable energy developer, such as Anesco, and a customer.
For PPAs entered into with Anesco, our specialist team will design, finance and manage the installation of a renewable system on a customer's property. The energy generated by the system is then sold back to the customer at a pre-agreed price that is lower than that available through a utility provider.
The PPA may typically run for between 3 to 25 years, with the renewable installation monitored and maintained by Anesco throughout this period as part of the agreement. At the end of this time the customer may choose to purchase the asset, to extend the agreement or to have the asset removed.
