The right side of history
In Canada, Paul Martin showed true leadership when he described how his own support for gay marriage had evolved following the Supreme Court ruling. Now Obama is showing Americans how they also can change their thinking:
. . . over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don't Ask Don't Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

And bang... there goes the news cycle for the approval of the obnoxious North Carolina antigay referendum as well.
And bang again....well-sources story appears in the Washington Post about how Rmoney was a Lord of the Flies clone homophobic bully in prep school, forcibly cutting another student's hair because he thought it looked faggy.
I'm sure Obama is sincere in this announcement, but he's also the most adept politician in the Presidency since FDR.

Easter brings a parade of photos, usually with my sister and me wearing matching dresses.
as well as a lot of pictures of baskets, eggs and the Easter Bunny.
Everyone smiling in their Sunday best.
Even an occasional cousin picture taken after a special meal and egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's.
This year promises to be a day of more photos to add to the Easter Parade as we gather at Emily's for a special celebration.

EnteCity Exclusive Interview with the rising star of Mollywood - Tovino Thomas
Tovino Thomas, the charismatic actor who garnered attention through Martin Prakkat's ABCD is slowly making it big in Tinseltown. Read the space more to know what he had to share with everyone when EnteCity caught up!
Whether it's a full-length role or cameo, I love doing it if the movie demands my presence.
With two releases 'Style' and 'Monsoon Mangoes' in January, the year started in a good note for Tovino.
"Style was my first release of the year in which I played the villain Edgar. In Monsoon Mangoes I played a cameo role. It was so gladdening to receive positive feedbacks for these movies and my characters. I love to be part of good movies and Monsoon Mangoes was such an initiative. The director Abi Varghese and script writer Naveen Bhaskar are my good friends and I was so happy to join them. Whether it's a full-length role or cameo, I love doing it if the movie demands my presence. My next film is 'Randu Penkuttikal' by Jeo Baby in which I play a small role, but the film and the character satisfied me. Recently, some media suggested that I should stay away from cameo roles, which didn't make any sense at all. It really makes me happy if I can substantially contribute to film through one or two scenes", he says.
I won't say that I'm err free actor; I'm still mastering the art of acting. However, I put sincere effort in whatever roles I do
'Edgar and over expectation'
Tovino's Edgar is 'Style' film was in limelight ever since the movie posters and trailer was released.
"I believe I gave my 100% for Edgar. Before the release of the film I made it clear that it's a mass entertainer film and approach in such a way. Some may have portrayed a different Edgar in their mind and that led to over expectation and slight criticism in social media upon its release. I won't say that I'm err free actor; I'm still mastering the art of acting. However, I put sincere effort in whatever roles I do"
We want box-office hits, not torrent hits!
'Social Media'
Tovino is active in social media and he follows it keenly. However, he has his own views on social media activities.
"Social media has opened up a new prospect in the field of movie promotion. But social media has also become vital in deciding the fate of a movie. People are free to post their opinions and reviews of movies, but most of the time it goes in a destructive manner; we need constructive ones. Reviews should be always unbiased and genuine. If one doesn't like a movie, he/she can post it, but it shouldn't be in a way of purposefully degrading it. Everyone makes movies with the intention of making good ones and there is a lot of effort in that. Degrading movies affects in a very bad way and retract people who want to watch those in theaters. Posting constructive criticism will help the director, cast and crew of the movie to fare better in their next outing. We want box-office hits, not torrent hits!", he adds.
Ennu Ninte Moideen gave the best break of my career.
'Appu & Georgy'
'Ennu Ninte Moideen' and 'Charlie' presented a dream year for him in 2015. The accolade he received for 'Perumparambil Appu' in Ennu Ninte Moideen is never ending.
"Ennu Ninte Moideen gave the best break of my career. I was sure that the movie was going to make a big impact but honestly didn't expect such a response for my acting. I would like to give the credit the director R.S Vimal, Cinematographer Jomon T John, Music Director Gopi Sundar, Prithviraj, Parvathy and all associated with the movie for yielding such a response. Always teamwork produces the best result and this movie is an example for that. I love and hope to associate with such good teams in my future projects too. Charlie was like coming back to home team. Again it's a cameo role, but I loved being part of such a good movie and team. Even though small, the movie gave me an opportunity to share screen space with Venu chettan and KPAC Lalitha chechi, which itself is a huge honor. Being a photographer Martin chettan knows well about my features and he presents me most handsomely on screen. I'm happy that I sincerely delivered my part for these movies", he says proudly.
Tovino won Asiavision's Best Supporting Actor award for Ennu Ninte Moideen, Ramu Kariat Award for Promising Star and is nominated for Best Supporting Actor category in IIFA awards.
Cinema is like mass hypnotism and it influences people easily than any other media
'Entry into big screen'
Tovino is basically an engineer and gave up IT career to pursue his dream.
"The actor in me was born through my endless move for cinema. The love for cinema was escalated after participating in film festivals. That urged me to watch more and more good movies. Cinema is like mass hypnotism and it influences people easily than any other media. It's evident from the impact cinema creates among the people, the respect and recognition they show to the film fraternity. Cinema lets people realize us anywhere in the world. I won't have what I'm now without the love and support of my family and friends", he adds.
I still don't know whether I have the maturity to be a father
Tovino and his wife Lidiya was blessed with a baby girl last week.
"It's a special feel to be a father. The feel I experienced when I took her in my arms is unexplainable. The mother and baby are doing fine and I'm enjoying my free time with them. I still don't know whether I have the maturity to be a father. Being father of a girl impart huge responsibility on me", he says laughingly.
To Youngsters..
"Whichever the field maybe, try it sincerely and genuinely. Time is a big factor too. If we give 100% to anything, success will definitely follow"
"It's a place where I got lot of good friends. I knew Trivandrum more thorough film festivals, it was a great experience. Whenever I'm there I love spending time hanging around with my friends in city premises", he says.

Man Lifts Young Boy Into Rhino Enclosure At Zoo
This brings our blood to a boil.
Photos have been circulating of a man who lifted a young boy - reportedly a relative - into the Rhino enclosure at the Dublin Zoo.
Just a child inside the rhino enclosure at @dublinzoo pic.twitter.com/xxsn8Dm5Ag— Ciarán Ferrie (@ccferrie) July 30, 2016
The young boy was reportedly standing inside the zoo enclosure for over 20 minutes.
@ccferrie @DublinZoo this man had the child in behind the fence for good 20 minutes ! pic.twitter.com/BzhhUW5Obr— Adrianna Straszewska (@Adriannasss) July 31, 2016
Thankfully from all reports, no injury arose from the incident.
"It was such a stupid thing to do. He was only metres away from the rhinos. People were totally horrified," a witness told The Irish Mirror.
"The child was with a male relative who was getting him to pose for photos and trying to make the child go further in."
Dublin Zoo have reportedly launched an internal enquiry into the event.
This incident comes after a number of unfortunate events at Zoos this year where humans have found themselves in danger or animals have been put down as a safety precaution.
The most high profile incident was when Harambe, a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio was shot dead after a young boy climbed into his enclosure three months ago.

This past week marked the start of my new Reading Program at Adare Primary School. In the span of 4 days I taught 23 classes with a total of 1,368 students, grades 1-8. Each class was held in the library so that students who've never held a book of fiction before would get a chance to read for an hour.
The plan (hope) is to repeat this program once every month. Grades 1-6 got an introduction to literature. We read some books aloud and then I passed out books for them to read independently. In the coming months we'll have more focused readings…a day for fairytales, nonfiction, poetry, etc.
Grades 7 and 8 will be participating in a reading challenge. Anyone remember the BOOK IT! Program sponsored by Pizza Hut? Rewarding reading with pizza? Genius. So with that in mind, students will come in every month and read as many books as they can (and then answer the critical thinking questions I created for each book!), and the student from each class (there are 10 grade 7 and 8 classes) who reads the most/answers the most questions correctly will win a goodie bag at the end of the semester.
Goodie bags will include school supplies (most of which I've already been able to collect), games, and books. And that's where you can help. After all, 'tis the season to be generous : ) You can buy a cheap, used book and ship it to Ethiopia FOR FREE – that's over 7,700 miles if you're in Minnesota! (Though of course you can ship from anywhere!)
If you'd like to help Adare Primary School Students, here's what you do:

Verses with the word artexerxes in the Apocrypha (15 verses):
1 Esdras 2:16
But in the time of Artexerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Semellius the secretary, with others that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these letters following;
1 Esdras 2:17
To king Artexerxes our lord, Thy servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice.
1 Esdras 2:30
Then king Artexerxes his letters being read, Rathumus, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission with them, removing in haste toward Jerusalem with a troop of horsemen and a multitude of people in battle array, began to hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
1 Esdras 7:4
And they finished these things by the commandment of the Lord God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and Artexerxes, kings of Persia.
1 Esdras 8:1
And after these things, when Artexerxes the king of the Persians reigned came Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Ezerias, the son of Helchiah, the son of Salum,
1 Esdras 8:6
In the seventh year of the reign of Artexerxes, in the fifth month, this was the king's seventh year; for they went from Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord gave them.
1 Esdras 8:8
Now the copy of the commission, which was written from Artexerxes the king, and came to Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Lord, is this that followeth;
1 Esdras 8:9
King Artexerxes unto Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Lord sendeth greeting:
1 Esdras 8:19
And I king Artexerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the priest and the reader of the law of the most high God shall send for, they should give it him with speed,
1 Esdras 8:28
And these are the chief according to their families and several dignities, that went up with me from Babylon in the reign of king Artexerxes:
2 Esdras 1:3
The son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi; which was captive in the land of the Medes, in the reign of Artexerxes king of the Persians.
Additions to Esther 11:2
In the second year of the reign of Artexerxes the great, in the first day of the month Nisan, Mardocheus the son of Jairus, the son of Semei, the son of Cisai, of the tribe of Benjamin, had a dream;
Additions to Esther 12:2
And he heard their devices, and searched out their purposes, and learned that they were about to lay hands upon Artexerxes the king; and so he certified the king of them.
Additions to Esther 13:1
The copy of the letters was this: The great king Artexerxes writeth these things to the princes and governours that are under him from India unto Ethiopia in an hundred and seven and twenty provinces.
Additions to Esther 16:1
The great king Artexerxes unto the princes and governors of an hundred and seven and twenty provinces from India unto Ethiopia, and unto all our faithful subjects, greeting.

TNT is daring to spin a dream, much like the titular character of its new effort, Will, and the network is hoping it can convince you that Shakespeare was a pop star of his era, as opposed to having entered the world as the boring crap High School teachers make you read. Perhaps more importantly, the show would also like you to believe that jolly, old Will was once a young man, and wasn't born a marble bust with little hair and a fantastic beard.
These are indeed, more or less, true, but Will also wants you to: watch as Will scampers after a guttersnipe who picks his pocket, listen to The Clash, endure "punk rock" Elizabethans, and play along with anti-Catholic, anti-theater mustache-twirlers, and that makes it a little difficult to get your bearings.
Luckily, at its heart, this is a show that is mostly after simply reveling in Shakespeare. Not in the sense of stuffy professors reciting lines in snooty tones, but in the sense of those who watched and loved his work originally. The boisterous "commoners" who might be equally likely to applaud or gut you, and the actors who were probably just trying to pay off their next drunk.
We fall in with Will (Laurie Davidson) as he travels to London and lucks into meeting Alice Burbage (Olivia DeJonge), who happens to be the daughter of James Burbage (Colm Meaney). Burbage, of course, runs The Theater, and happens to need a playwright because Christopher Marlowe (Jamie Campbell Bower) isn't going to work for him anymore. We stumble along with Will as he tries to find a place in the bizarre cacophony that is London, and more specifically, London's theater life, and the show is as much a buzz as its setting.
Events may veer down odd roads at times (like the "rap battle"), but the writing and charm win out. Davidson is magnetic and delivers perfectly the one impossible thing the show needs in order to have any chance at success – a guy we believe might say the things Shakespeare said and then think to himself, "Oh God, I've got to write that down." The rest of the cast will surprise as well, because even the tertiary characters leave you wanting more. Meanwhile, Meaney almost seems to be trying to dismantle the thing from within because you find yourself wanting everyone else to leave. You could Photoshop the rest of the cast out and still watch him grumbling around and love every minute of it.
Even the potentially sour notes turn out to be rather brilliant turns. Will's early "nemesis," the troupe's wanna-be writer, stands out as a case in point. He's overselling, over-written, and laughably "weasely," but the idea actually works if you let it wash over you for a few minutes. He provides a certain clue to the lens we're after, and makes the show not simply the fictionalization of Shakespeare's life, but his life as he might have turned it into a play, which makes this just another of his near-farcical characters overexposing type.
It's dangerous to predict where this show will go, especially because the "powers that be" angle might easily maneuver into the silly, but it's wicked fun through the first few episodes and offers up the richest cast of characters around.

HOPKINTON - With the town facing a possible $2 million budget shortfall in the next fiscal year, department heads will project their needs on Tuesday at the quarterly meeting.
With the town facing a possible $2 million budget shortfall in the next fiscal year, department heads will project their needs on Tuesday at the quarterly meeting.
Town Manager Anthony Troiano said yesterday department heads are asked to consider what "level of service" they can provide without any extra money in their budgets.
In October, a group of town officials put together a 10-year budget model that suggested a number of cost-cutting and revenue enhancing measures to help stem the town's budget deficit. The group projected that deficit could grow to $8.8 million in 2018.
To boost revenue, the group advocated enticing higher-value development along Interstate 495, implementing school choice, and supporting downtown revitalization, among other ideas. Among cost-cutting ideas, the plan recommends that the town negotiate lower health insurance premiums, reduce legal expenses and more wisely use revolving accounts.
In that model, the shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year was estimated at $1.4 million, but Troiano said the numbers are probably closer to $2 million. Troiano said he would give a brief overview of that long-range plan at the quarterly session.
He said, however, the measures may take time to implement.
"It's a budget model, it's not the budget cycle," Troiano said.
Troiano said all departmental budgets are due to him by Jan.1.
The quarterly session will begin at 7 p.m. at the Senior Center.
Before that, selectmen will begin their regular monthly meeting at 5:30 p.m.

How to Take CoQ10 With Other Supplements
Coenzyme Q10 is a natural, vitamin-like nutrient used to treat or prevent a variety of medical conditions. Coenzyme Q10--also known as Ubiquinone or CoQ10--is found in every cell of the body. The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University reports that this compound can be effective in the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, Huntington's disease, myocardial infarction, Parkinson's disease, and more. It is essential that you take this important and ubiquitous nutrient properly in order to maximize its health benefits.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Take your dose of coenzyme Q10 with a meal containing oil or fat. CoQ10 is hydrophobic: it does not dissolve very well in water. CoQ10 is very soluble in oil, however. If for some reason you must avoid fat in your diet, it may be necessary to take a larger dose of CoQ10 to compensate for reduced absorption.
Step 2
Schedule your CoQ10 dose when you take fat soluble supplements such as vitamin E, A and D. Most fat-soluble nutrients are dissolved in oil and packaged in capsule form. If taken at the same time, the capsules will work together for maximum nutrient absorption.
Step 3
Take your CoQ10 at the same time you take your vitamin E. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that CoQ10 enhanced the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin E.
Step 4
Take CoQ10 if you are taking supplements containing red yeast rice. Nutritional supplements with red yeast rice may contain the statin compound lovastatin. Lovastatin is the ingredient of Mevacor: a prescription cholesterol-lowering drug. Statins are known to reduce natural levels of CoQ10 up to 40 percent.

IT'S hard to sit still. Music resonates through the darkened church as African-American gospel singers enter carrying lighted candles, and it gains momentum as the performers march up the aisles and balconies singing the traditional spiritual, "Go Tell It on the Mountain."
The energy emitted from this cast of 130 members of the local black community, including 75 children, quickly ignites the audience, and they respond enthusiastically with shouts and applause.
This is the 23rd annual production of "Black Nativity," a song-play written by Langston Hughes. It retells the birth of Jesus through pageantry and gospel music. The music director for this production, John Andrew Ross, says Mr. Hughes wrote the script based on the gospel of St. Luke, outlining where he wanted a song but not giving stage directions or specifying how many people in the cast. Groups that produce "Black Nativity" put their own stamp on the play.
Mr. Ross, who says Hughes was a close friend of his family, explains that "Black Nativity" was originally written for black producer/director Vinette Carroll, who along with Hughes came out of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and '30s. It premiered at New York's Lincoln Center in the early '60s, according to Ross. "It's offered in a very black context. This is a gospel song-play and the music is framed in the tradition of black gospel."
Many of the performers are affiliated with local black churches, because that's the natural medium for this music, says Ross. It's not necessary to be black to participate in the production, and over the years whites who have had experience with black gospel have performed with them, he adds.
Ross compares "Black Nativity" to medieval passion plays, the most famous of which is performed each year in Oberammergau, Germany. The plays are built around the reenactment of Jesus' life, his passion and crucifixion, and typically include hundreds of performers and last many hours.
Besides Boston, church groups and organizations in other cities host their own "Black Nativity." This season, there are professional productions in Cleveland, Minneapolis, and San Diego, according to Dramatic Publishing Company in New York, which holds the rights to the script.
The gospel music is the most striking aspect of this song-play. The Boston singers are exceptional, but several soloists stand out, including tenor Larry Watson, bass Charles Austin (also a local television reporter), and dramatic soprano Vivian Cooley.
The music moves from joy to sadness, beginning with the announcement of the Christ Child's coming and continuing with Mary and Joseph's difficulties finding a room in Jerusalem. The search for lodging climaxes with "No Room," a melancholy melody sung with a blues inflection by Ms. Cooley.
Hughes bridges the music with a narrator who speaks colloquially. The action of the story is told in pantomime, as Joseph, played by Born Bi-Kim Allah, dances athletically across the stage and mimes knocking on doors for help. He is joined by Mary, played by Margarita Taylor, to perform a modern, Afro-Caribbean dance that expresses their plight.
The music builds to a crescendo when three men's voices boom on center stage for "A Mighty Day" in honor of the child Jesus' birth.
The audience, on the afternoon I attended, was made up of an almost equal number of blacks and whites. Everyone swayed from side to side in their seats and clapped to the beat of the music. They yelled and applauded for more when "A Mighty Day" finished. The men returned, in mid-performance, for an encore, and the audience joined them in singing.
The bass, Mr. Austin, says the appeal of "Black Nativity" is that "We're not performing for the glory of ourselves, we're performing for God. The exhilaration comes when I look down at that child and say that is a wonderful child and that was a mighty day."
The performance ends with a young boy soulfully singing, "And little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head."
The children, including a bright-eyed, bare-footed baby Jesus, are a delightful feature of this production. They glow with the excitement of being on stage, and their joy and happiness enthralls the audience.
In an interview, executive producer and director Elma Lewis spoke about the history of "Black Nativity." Sitting in her den, surrounded by books on African culture and paintings of black dancers, she explains that "Black Nativity" began 23 years ago as a special performance for a few members of the black community at the Roxbury school that bears her name.
"The performance went over so well that we did it again the following year for members of the community, and it has since grown over the years until we serviced 20,000 [people]...."
Each fall, Lewis places an ad in local papers and holds auditions for "Black Nativity."
"The cast is a good cross section of what exists in black life," says Lewis. "There is no upper age limit, and we have many young children and teenagers coming from Boston Public Schools, private schools, and many of the surrounding suburbs. Nobody goes out to get them. They come." Many of the performers have been with the play for a number of years, and some have their young children join in when they're old enough.
Ms. Cooley, the soprano, has been singing in the production since its first year in Boston. She came into the Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts in Roxbury one day with her twin baby boys. She and three others wanted to form a group to sing black music.
Music director Ross says, "One day they were rehearsing, and I heard this voice, this incredible voice coming through, and it was Vivian's." He asked them to participate in the first production of "Black Nativity." Even though Cooley has since moved from Roxbury to California, she returns each year to perform.
Both Ross and Lewis say that teaching children values and discipline that help them navigate life is most important to them. They say when children demonstrate their ability and the discipline it takes to perform on stage, they see a transformation in the character of these children, particularly the younger, more shy children.
"The whole experience has educational value. It's meant to give children depth of character and has something to do with an area we all value - spiritual value," says Ross.
Austin says of Lewis, "She is hard. It's theater, and she stresses discipline and focus.... It's great to work with her, and I hear her and understand the genesis of her conviction."
Ross and Lewis say the years they have staged "Black Nativity" have brought much joy and fulfillment. "And joy is the infallible sign of God's presence," Lewis says.

Senate Passes Farm Bill 68 - 32
After three years of fighting to ensure that the Farm Bill protects hunger-relief programs and advances our mission of a hunger-free America-- we have a resolution. Thank you constituents and champions, your voice made a difference. Today, Congress finalized a new Farm Bill, after the Senate's 68-32 vote to pass H.R. 2642, The Agricultural Act of 2014. The Agricultural Act of 2014 is a five-year farm bill that reforms agricultural and nutrition assistance policy, and serves as the House-Senate Farm Bill Conference's attempt to reconcile earlier House and Senate versions of the bill.
The final bill includes more than $8.5 billion in cuts to SNAP over the next 10 years. These cuts to SNAP come primarily from changing provisions in the "Heat and Eat" program. Though we may have avoided the much deeper $40 billion cuts proposed by the House, the cuts in the Agricultural Act of 2014 will cause an estimated 850,000 households to lose an average of $90.00 in monthly benefits. Unfortunately, these cuts come on the heels of the November 1, 2013 expiration of the benefit boost which impacted every household receiving SNAP benefits and cut the SNAP program by approximately $11 billion.
Though the bill brings significant cuts to the SNAP program, it increases funds to TEFAP, the program that provides emergency food to food banks, by $205 million over the next 10 years. While the additional TEFAP funds will not replace the meals lost from the SNAP cuts, they are a critical investment that will help food banks like ours better meet increased demand in our communities.
The President will receive the new bill by week's end, upon his signature the bill will become law.
Additional reforms to nutrition assistance in the Act come by way of the following:
- Establishes a 10-state pilot to enable states to engage able-bodied adults in mandatory work programs.
- Prohibits USDA from engaging in SNAP recruitment activities, and advertising SNAP on TV, radio, billboards & through foreign governments.
- Ensures illegal immigrants, lottery winners, traditional college students, and the deceased do not receive benefits.
- Ensures SNAP recipients are not receiving benefits in multiple states.
- Prevents abuses such as water dumping to exchange bottles for cash.
- Requires outcomes from existing employment and training programs.
- Eliminates medical marijuana as an allowable medical expense.
- Allows states to pursue retailer fraud through a pilot investigation program.
- Increases assistance for food banks.
Thanks again to our amazing constituents and champions. Your voice is important to us and to our lawmakers.

The way Hoke L. Smith feels about budget cuts at his college shows clearly on his face.
Smith, president of Towson State University in Maryland, has grown a scraggly white beard to protest cuts in chemistry and physics programs.
"It's a quiet symbol on campus that I support them," Smith said during a break in a national higher education conference last week. "I'm engaged in a little political theater."
Many of the 1,000 college presidents and administrators gathered in San Diego were looking for solutions -- theatrical and otherwise -- to the budget cuts and shrinking revenue that their campuses are facing.
At least the setting was idyllic for the 75th annual meeting of the American Council on Education, a nonprofit higher education association based in Washington.
Flamingos strolled the hotel grounds. Stereo speakers hung on the palm trees played soft music as boats with such names as Naut-E-Nuff and Kandu bobbed on San Diego Bay.
Many of the presidents and presidential hopefuls in attendance could sympathize with Smith, who has just completed a year as chairman of the council's board of directors.
Many state colleges have been beset by drastic budget cuts and have had to raise tuition dramatically. At the same time, state legislators, parents and students are calling for greater accountability and heavier faculty workloads.
Many private colleges are hurting as well since endowment earnings and government support have not kept pace with rising costs. Families, too, have balked at paying the steep tuition increases that private colleges adopted in the 1980s.
The central question that emerged at the conference was whether higher education is in a temporary downturn or whether there is a long-term shift forcing colleges to streamline. That question seemed more pressing at this meeting than in past years, Smith said.
The consensus seemed to be that the problems are here to stay
and colleges are going to have to cut costs and programs to cope. The tone was set at the beginning of the week when Carol A. Cartwright, president of Kent State University in Ohio, said, "I feel as if my career has been in preparation for the '90s. We can not count on the restoration of funding we have lost because we do not occupy the priority position we once did."
But during the same panel discussion, Michael Hooker, president of the University of Massachusetts, told his fellow leaders not to lose hope. Higher education is America's largest industry that has a positive trade balance with other countries, he said.
As the world's economy shifts from one based on energy to one based on knowledge, the nation's colleges will be well placed to lead the revolution, he said.
"This will be a shift more profound than the harnessing of fire," Hooker said. "Sooner or later that will dawn on the governors of our states."
Some participants came to cry on each other's shoulders. Others were seeking inspiration in solving their problems.
A standing-room-only crowd packed a session on how to make budget cuts humanely. Presidents from Oregon, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and California shared their tricks for getting faculty members to accept layoffs and drastic cuts. Their advice included planning ahead, protecting academic programs, opening lines of communication and involving faculty in suggesting cuts.
Janina Montero, dean of Wesleyan University in Middletown, said it was consoling to hear that others are going through the same things, but it was depressing because the problems are so pervasive. Still, the times are exciting, she said.
"We're in a period when our basic assumptions won't hold anymore," she said. "In some ways, we're designing the future."
The event drew about a dozen leaders from Connecticut. They included David G. Carter, president of Eastern Connecticut State University in Willimantic; Edwin G. Eigel Jr., president of the University of Bridgeport; R. Eileen Baccus, president of Northwestern Connecticut Community-Technical College; and Claire L. Gaudiani, president of Connecticut College.
Gaudiani, a member of the council's board of directors, wanted to make sure that topics besides money were discussed. She took part in two panels on national service and on the role colleges can play in alleviating persistent poverty.
She called on colleges in the 1990s to become the brokers between the powerful -- state leaders, city leaders and bankers -- and the powerless. It is the obligation of all to help the poor, she said.
"No amount of budget constraints should make us lose what is humane and moral in a society," she said

MOUNTAIN PASS – No one was on their way to Vegas 1.3 billion years ago when a large, high-quality deposit of rare earths formed here.
Molten rock was pushing up through the Earth's mantle in eastern San Bernardino County and leaving a sizable deposit of the metals just poking its nose through the planet's surface.
Uranium hunters stumbled across it around 1950 – rare earths are often found in the company of heavier radioactive metals – and eventually it came under the ownership of Molycorp, a Colorado mining company.
Today, according to Molycorp CEO Mark A. Smith, "potential buyers are beating down the door to get those rare earths," which Molycorp stopped mining in 2002 because of environmental problems – and China could do it cheaper, anyway, he said.
Things change. China has virtually cut the world off from its supply of rare earths.
The Asian nation has the world's largest deposits, but Mountain Pass is No. 2, experts say, and Molycorp is back in the race.
Why should we care?
Rare earth metals – or oxides – are vital commodities for a range of products, from smart phones to smart bombs.
And the company's Mountain Pass Mine promises to make lots of money for Molycorp.
It's potential customers can breathe a sigh of relief now that there is another source of the elements. They are so relieved they have pushed Molycorp from a 52-week low of $12.10 on the New York Stock Exchange to a Jan. 5 high of $62.10. It has moderated a bit since the high and closed at $42.99 on Friday, down $3.55 on the day.
Molycorp is tearing down its old plant and building a $500-million operation about 15 miles from the Nevada border to mine and process the ores.
The company celebrated earlier this month with a groundbreaking and barbecue for the board of directors, top management and employees at the site. They are calling it Project Phoenix, Smith said.
But not everyone is happy with the operation.
A national environmental group, Western Watersheds project, criticized Molycorp's 8.6-mile proposed gas pipeline, which it says traverses protected desert tortoise habitat.
Western Watersheds filed a complaint Jan. 14 in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, seeking to halt the Ivanpah Solar Project, which it says got an inferior examination in its Environmental Impact Statement to help it meet a deadline. That deadline has been extended a year to Dec. 31, and Western Watersheds wants a proper EIS done, which it predicts will halt the power project being built by BrightSource Energy.
"We want it to go away," said Michael Connor, California director for Western Watersheds.
He was unfamiliar with Molycorp's core project, but the pipeline was mentioned in the complaint his group filed.
Still, the Mountain Pass project is gaining interest from potential customers, cut off from China's rare earths but interested in what's in Molycorp's huge open-pit mines.
"We are getting attention – a lot of attention," Smith said on the day of the barbecue.
He expects the new plant to be operational by mid-2012.
Jim Sims, Molycorp's director of public affairs, and Scott Homan, the company's environmental manager, explained to visitors at the mine how environmental problems that played a role in halting production back in 2002 have been eliminated by new technology.
Before Molycorp halted production, the company piped liquid residue – mostly salt water – to evaporation ponds in Ivanpah Dry Lake – a scant 10 miles from Mountain Pass.
During a process of putting rinse water through the 8-inch plastic pipeline, pressure got too great. The pipe burst in several places. A buildup of radioactive material inside the pipe led to contamination of the aquifer under the dry lake.
That raised a public outcry that included concerns from county regulators and environmentalists and the shutdown.
During earlier operations, Molycorp had been the biggest user of hydrochloric acid west of the Mississippi River, Sims said. The acid was used to separate the rare earths from the ore. In order to stop the acid's action after separation, Molycorp neutralized it with sodium hydroxide and the product of the combination became salt water.
But by using electricity with chemistry, a process known as electrolysis, to treat the salt water, Molycorp found they could change it back into its original hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
Voila! The chemicals could be re-used almost endlessly. No longer will 15 to 25 tanker trucks full of acid be arriving each day at Mountain Pass and no longer will the salt water be piped to Ivanpah Dry Lake for evaporation. Nor will it get the chance to build up radioactive scale inside the miles of drainpipe.
In addition, Molycorp will no longer buy the most expensive electric power Edison sells. It will generate its own. Another 8-inch pipeline is to be built to carry low-polluting natural gas, which will be used for power generation and to reduce the use of diesel at the mine.
For Molycorp, these moves have given immense benefits: The company has dramatically reduced its environmental impact and has led it to claim it has cut its costs to half those of the Chinese today. And Sims said that soon Chinese costs are likely to double because of environmental changes Chinese miners are being forced to make. More good news for Molycorp.
All that could be jeopardized by Western Watershed's complaint.
Molycorp said repeatedly that it had "crossed all the t's and dotted all the i's" and it had no more hoops or hurdles for the project.
That said, the company faces a hearing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, it was learned Friday. A Molycorp spokesman could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.
And there's still environmental concerns over the tortoise and the pipeline.
When Connor – the California director of Western Watersheds – was told about some of Molycorp's efforts to be environmentally friendly,he said: "That doesn't help the tortoise."
County officials are excited about the project.
They are predicting it will have long-time benefits for the county through new jobs, for business and for property and sales taxes.
Most of the 700 construction jobs for the new plant will come from near and far. Most of the 300 permanent jobs will most likely be filled by Las Vegas residents, because it is closer to Mountain Pass than population centers in California.
But First District Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt, whose district includes Mountain Pass, called the project "great news. It's been a long time coming.
"I think we will put a lot of people to work. I just don't have the numbers. It's a major mining operation that will use a lot of trades and professions."
Mitzelfelt also predicted Molycorp will be buying supplies locally.
Sims, Molycorp's director of public affairs, confirmed that.
"Molycorp is trying as much as possible to buy equipment and supplies in San Bernardino County," he said.
Molycorp officials say that they don't know the full extent of the rare earth to be found at Mountain Pass. They won't know until they dig for it, they assert.
Since 1865, various minerals have been mined in the historic Clark Mining District, where Mountain Pass is located, according to the project's environmental review.
For 57 years, Molycorp and its predecessors have recovered bastnasite, which contains 14 rare earth elements.
Its initial use was as a concentrate called mischmetal, which was used as flints for cigarette lighters and in some metallurgical applications.
In the 1960s, the EIR continued, additional mineral recovery operations were added to allow separation and recovery of individual rare earth elements, including europium, a critical element for making color television.
At the time, Mountain Pass was the world's only commercial source of europium.
Subsequent rare earth elements were produced, and Molycorp plans to mine more, bringing to 10 of 14 rare earth elements that will be produced at what is now a 55-acre site, with plenty of room to expand.
The 55 acres is part of more than 2,000 owned by the company, which also has federal mining claims for the next 30 years on another 8,000 acres.
With a limited world supply of rare earths, Molycorp is in a good financial position, said Christopher Reed, chemistry professor at UC Riverside.
The marketplace – whether its for oil, gold or rare earth elements – is full of cut-throat players, Reed said.
As for Molycorp, he said, "Time is on their side. In the longrun, they really can't fail."

text: Arnold, VW Break Out of the Box Published on December 18, 2002. VW: The alternative to square. After juxtaposing the closed spaces of modern life to the freedom of a Volkswagen in "Bubble" -- the cinematic launch spot for the Beetle convertible -- Arnold Worldwide again turns to showing us what the Beetle is not. In a new copy-free spot from Anonymous Content director Malcolm Venville, we see a video slide show of somber "Squares" -- clocks and sponges and electrical outlets and pieces of toast -- followed by a brief shot of the decidely un-square Beetle. It's a sharp, simple idea, made slightly haunting by an eerie score from techno-cowboy J. Ralph, who previously provided the music for VW's wedding epic "Big Day".

Pantheon Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi there, this is my build for the champion Pantheon. When I use Pantheon I mainly tend to lane middle even though he is a physical DPS champion. This tactic is very powerful when facing a variety of champions that will deal long range physical damage such as Miss Fortune or Kennen. Unlike most melee champions Pantheon's skillset works both ways as a strong lane champion and great ganking champion.
For my Pantheon Build I don't differ from what works. Im a strong believe in if it works and isn't broken don't try to fix it.
My Rune Build is as follows.
-9 ArPen Marks
-9 Dodge Seals
-9 Cooldown Reduction Glyphs
-3 Arpen Quints (Or if you prefer Flat HP quints)
My Mastery build is extremely different than most Pantheon builds in the way that I chose for the 5% physical/magic damage. Most tend to go for the survivability pantheon or the cooldown reduction way. My masteries are setup to increase Arpen damage and crit damage. I also threw in an exhaust boost and heal reduction for the moments in the middle where a heal is the difference between first blood.
My item build also differs from the original. My item build goes for a Boots of Speed to begin with and then 2 health pots and 1 mana pot. I like these as beginner items to give the edge in middle lane. After these and most likely a kill I go with Ionian boots which make it so I do not need the brutalizer for its cd reduction. My next item is the Last Whisperer for the 40% arpen. After the Last Whisperer I tend to go with a B.F. sword for the straight attack damage. Building off of the B.F. sword I buy a black cleaver, then a bloodthirster, and then a infinity edge. By this point in the game you should either be doing alot of damage or needing a bit of survivability. I tend to buy a guardian angel for help if Im having trouble surviving.
Skill Sequence
Like all Pantheon's the attack skill sequence will open up with your stun (W) and followed by your big hitter (E) and then as they run follow it up with a nice (Q). If by this time your target is not dead I advise retreating for a few seconds while your abilities return from their cooldowns and repeat. A great initiator but squishy Pantheon can jump and land on his opponents in the ring. However it also is one of the games best ganking tools and using it can take some skill. Whenever I jump I take into effect the user's movement abilities (movement speed 3 is a great escape with small damage), the user's spells (flash can mean an easy dodge) the characters abilities (Vlad and sanguine pool is 0 damage), and the number of people there and their current health. Marking your jump and notifying your teammate can equal a great stun for the full 1000 damage. Another great time and spot to jump is turret saving when a champion is attacking a turret its like trapping them between a rock and a hard place. Putting it slightly behind a champion is also a good choice but be careful for they can always run to the sides. a Direct jump onto them means even in the 2 seconds they are making it to the 33% damage spot but you can stun them right after.
Summoner Spells
I use exhaust and Heal because I run middle lane alone and this makes the enemy unable to escape for you to wail on em and the in emergency ganking heal. This tends to provide the early lead that Pantheon likes to end the rest of the game with a solid skill set.
Pros / Cons
Pros- Great middle laner in my opinion with a stun good strong DPS and with some skill a ganker for the rest of the game. Also able to help initiate team fights save teammates and just do a solid amount of damage throughout the game and not just the beginning.
Cons- Towards the end of the game if you did not have a decisive start then this build does provide a squishy Pantheon. This is one of the times when I change my infinity edge or phantom dancer into a Guardian Angel for survival skills. Also one of the weaker parts is team fights. He is great to get that one target you don't like such as an annoying lux in the back field or annie who is slyly camping the sides, but after that he is just focused down since you have to jump into their range.
NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FARM MINIONS WITH R. You have E for this... It does great damage in a cone that will pretty much destroy all minions or leave one hit for you. Pantheon also is able to farm minions from a distance at early game points with Q.

I don't want to repeat the entire post here (but you can click here to check it out), so here are some optimistic highlights to whet your appetite…
• "It was very
productive, very level-headed, and it seemed as though the producers
came ready to bargain. Reasonableness
ruled the day."
• "Over the course of the session, the producers addressed every
single issue, and the writers listened and kept getting up to caucus."
• "They
basically went through all the proposals on the table: what they'd
already agreed upon, and where they needed to go from here. Tomorrow, they really start advancing the ball
• "Today, they spent time on old business.
Tomorrow, they handle new business — and that's where the rubber can
really meet the road."
Of course, while much of Hollywood has been awash in a wave of hope and optimism, it's important to remember: it ain't over till the fat lady sings, and in this case, the fat lady is Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Immelt, Jeff Bewkes, Bob Iger, Sumner Redstone, and Les Moonves. John Aboud sums it up best when, in his latest blog post at UnitedHollywood.com, he warms us not to "book the back room at El Coyote" just quite yet.
Stay tuned for more updates…

In the year 2016, newly married and yearning for that typical post-wedding trip of a lifetime, my wife and I exchanged large sums of money for what we believed would be a rousing jaunt across the European country of Spain. Once there, we would consume a boundless buffet of mouth-watering tapas, fill our botas to the brim with copious amounts of sangria and wine, and eventually, settle down in a charming little village by the sea to spend the rest of our lives happily ever after.Read More
Home is Where the Heart Is: Goodbye Apartment
After seven wonderful years of parking our butts in this tiny little apartment, crammed away in this cozy garden level abode, stuffing our brains with a lifetime of warm and fuzzy memories, it is time to say goodbye. And we will miss this place, this apartment, this home we've had for those seven wonderful years. It has treated us well and provided us with a sneaky little headquarters, tucked closely into a main artery of the city, with big windows, an old blue carpet, and a suspiciously rusty bathtub—all at garden level prices.Read More

When it comes to bathroom flooding, this is not my first rodeo. More like the seventh.Read More

- Justin Andrews answered 10 years ago
Bug report:
Select any value that can be controlled with a slider (e.g. event volume). Click on the slider bar. The slider bar is now controllable using the up and down arrows on the keyboard – except up and down are reversed. Pressing the up arrow decreases the slider value, and vice versa.
Not a bug, but a suggestion: it would be nice if editable values were quantised sensibly. e.g. volume values are displayed accurate to two decimal places, but by using the arrow keys to increase and decrease values you can see that under the hood the quantisation value is much smaller (it takes several key presses to make a change appear in the displayed number). Other values, like 3D Doppler Factor and 3D Pan level, are displayed accurate to lots of decimal places (as many as 6!). It would make sense not to display this level of accuracy to the user, since the editable accuracy is somewhat determined by the size and scale of the slider. Values can be typed in, but showing the slider then conforms the typed value to the closest value the slider can represent. So if I type in a 3D Doppler Factor of 0.1, then click the little button that brings up the slider, the value is set to zero since that's the closest value available on the slider.

ECE News Story
Martins Receives AFOSR Grant for Wireless Networks Research
Assistant Professor Nuno Martins (ECE/ISR) has received a three-year, $270,000 grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) for "Networked guidance and control for mobile multi-agent systems: a multi-terminal (network) information theoretic approach."
This research will develop computationally efficient methods for the joint design of guidance/control and wireless communication modules for multi-agent networked control systems.
The new framework will include guidance objectives which must be accomplished while also guaranteeing the multi-agent communication network supports a secure and disruption-free exchange of data. Martins will develop optimal guidance/controller design methods that allow for new types of specifications involving the rates of data transmission among agents in the presence of interference and transmission power constraints. These modules could find use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), where it is crucial to have guaranteed inter-agent rates of data transmission.
In other news, Martins was also named one of four guest editors for an upcoming special issue of International Journal of Systems, Control and Communications.
This special issue will focus on the highly interdisciplinary research in the theory and application of distributed control and communication systems. The increasing use of heterogeneous channels such as the internet or dedicated bus lines, particularly in the context of distributed systems, challenges conventional assumptions of perfect communication and instantaneous observation, and calls for the development of systematic optimal control design tools for distributed control systems. This special issue aims at presenting research from various disciplines in a coherent context, which can serve as a guide for research in information processing and decision making over communication networks and uncertain information channels.
