Nevada was No. 1 among states for the 18th consecutive year with a growth rate of 4.1 percent, according to federal population estimates released Dec. 22.
Other states gaining in population included Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Georgia, Texas, Utah, Delaware, North Carolina and New Mexico.
Massachusetts was the only state in the nation with a declining population in 2004 and had the lowest growth rate, -0.1 percent, except for the District of Columbia, -0.7. Slow-growing states included New York, North Dakota, Ohio and West Virginia.
The latest U.S. Census Bureau figures show that as of July 1, Massachusetts' growth rate was well below the national rate of 1 percent. Massachusetts had 3,852 fewer residents this year than last.
John Gaviglio, manager of the Massachusetts State Data Center, said reasons for the state's declining population rate are likely tied to migration to other states. But he said he can't be sure because state budget cuts eliminated the work of a demographer to examine statistics, track migration data and do projections that state agencies use to plan aging and health-related programs.
This year North Carolina and New Mexico replaced California and Hawaii on the list of the top 10 fastest growing states.
To estimate population, the Census Bureau compared each state's births against its deaths and also accounted for those who moved into or out of a state from another country or state.
California remained the most populous state in the nation with 35.9 million people in 2004, followed by Texas (22.5 million) and New York (19.2 million).

|Oracle® Application Integration Architecture Order Management Integration Pack for Oracle Transportation Management, Oracle E-Business Suite and Siebel CRM Implementation Guide
Release 3.1.1
Part Number E20504-05
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
This chapter provides an overview of the process integration for product and includes the following sections:
Section 4.6, "Core Application Integration Architecture Components"
In Transportation Order Management process integration pack (PIP), Siebel has four different types of products:
Special Services
Whenever a product is created or updated in Siebel, a synchronization flow is initiated to route these to AIA layer. However, AIA routes only the product type of commodity to OTM.
For every commodity type product from Siebel, these objects are created, updated, or both in OTM:
Packaged Item
One-to-one mapping should exist among the item, commodity, and packaged item in OTM.
The transportation order in Siebel has certain order lines that have product of type commodity associated to them.
In OTM application, the order release has release lines and ship units associated to it.
In the release line, the packaged item is associated to it, whereas in the release ship unit, a commodity is associated.
Additionally in OTM, the packaged item is referred to in the ship unit in the sell shipment.
The process integration for product supports these integration flows:
Creating product
Updating product
Figure 4-1 shows the product process integration:
Figure 4-1 Product Process Integration Flow
Whenever a product is created, updated, or both in Siebel, Siebel sends a message in their schema in a queue. AIA receives the message and converts it to the EBM format, and then converts the EBO into appropriate Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) format and finally sends it to OTM.
One-to-one mapping should exist among the item, commodity, and packaged item in OTM.
When a product of type commodity is created or updated in Siebel, the updated record must be synchronized to OTM.
Figure 4-2 shows the synchronization of a product details from Siebel to OTM:
Figure 4-2 Synchronizing Product Information from Siebel to OTM Sequence Diagram
The synchronization flow is described here:
Whenever a product is created or updated, Siebel publishes a product application business message (ABM).
The Siebel requester ABCS receives this message, transforms the ABM to enterprise business message (EBM), updates the Siebel, and invokes the ItemEBS service.
The ItemEBS service routs this message to Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) Provider ABCS.
OTM Provider ABCS receives this enterprise business message (EBM), checks if the product type is commodity. If so, it transforms to OTM commodity ABM and invokes the OTM web service. It then waits for the transmission report from OTM.
After the transmission report is received, the OTM provider ABCS checks the status. If status is OK, it updates the OTM column in the ITEM_ITEMID cross-reference with the commodity GID.
These are the solution assumptions and constraints:
This synchronization does not support initial loading of existing data of products.
No delete transactions exist for product records.
This integration synchronizes only products of type commodity to the OTM application.
If any error occurs in the service layer, AIA error handling framework is invoked. You should manually resubmit that transmission at various places that failed for reprocessing.
This integration does not validate and raise errors due to any business validation failure in OTM. It assumes such validations happen in OTM system.
This integration supports only synchronization of products whenever a product is created or updated.
Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) domain value is derived from business unit mapping. If you want to use your own logic for domain, you must use the extensible transformation template.
The provider side cross-references are populated based on the identifiers passed from main transformation to OTM. If you want to pass a different value in the OTM identifier, use the extensibility of the transformation to update the cross-reference.
Use the Siebel product schema for this integration.
OTM provides an interface through a web service to connect to its application. This connectivity is established as a partner link in the provider service. The logistics web service immediately returns an acknowledgment with a transmission number. After processing is complete, it then sends a transmission report back indicating success or failure.
The integration flow uses these components:
Item EBO
Item EBM
The core enterprise business object (EBO) and enterprise business message (EBM) XSD files can be located by EBO within the $AIA_HOME/AIAMetaData/AIAComponents/EnterpriseObjectLibrary/Core/EBO/ parent folder.
The core enterprise business services (EBS) web services definition language (WSDL) files can be located by EBO within the $AIA_HOME/AIAMetaData/AIAComponents/EnterpriseBusinessServiceLibrary/Core/EBO/ parent folder.
For detailed documentation of individual EBOs and EBMs, click AIA Reference Doc link on EBO and EBM detail pages in the Oracle Enterprise Repository.
For more information about using the Oracle Enterprise Repository and configuring it to provide the AIA Reference Doc link, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack, "Configuring and Using Oracle Enterprise Repository as the Oracle AIA SOA Repository."
EBOs can be extended, for instance, to add new data elements. These extensions are protected, and remain intact after a patch or an upgrade.
For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack, "Extensibility for AIA Artifacts".
These are the services delivered with this integration:
Siebel Product Queue
Siebel Product Queue is used to queue Siebel product messages. This queue can reside on any Oracle database. For this integration, the AIA database is used as the place for this queue.
This service is invoked the moment Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) enqueues a message into AIA_SiebelItemJMSQueueV1 queue. This service routes and invokes the SyncItemListSiebelReqABCSImpl process.
The SyncItemListSiebelReqABCSImpl is a BPEL process. This process receives the Siebel Product application business message (ABM) as input from Siebel system, transforms it to the SyncItemListEBM message, and invokes the ItemEBS service. In this transformation, in addition to mapping, the enterprise business message (EBM) Header and the cross-reference tables are populated.
SyncItemListLogisticsProvABCSImpl is a BPEL Process. This process receives the SyncItemListEBM as input from the ItemEBS, transforms the input into the LogisticsWebServiceABM and invokes the LogisticsWebService. When logistics sends the transmission report and the status in the transmission report is success, it updates the cross-reference tables with OTM IDs.

Six Steps to Implementing a Plan
It's a new year and things are going to be different this year. We spent a little time reviewing our mistakes of the past. We are resolved – this year will be different. We have a rock-solid plan. New ideas, better ideas, discipline of action and a whole lot more are ready to catapult us to the vanguard of our industry. The team brainstormed, labored and honed our direction to a finely polished point. Like Alexander the Great, we'll gaze out and watch the competition crumble before our well-orchestrated attack. Sound familiar?
We start the year with the greatest of intentions. Profit planning, sales territory alignment, pricing strategy, targeting and in many instances – a shiny new strategic plan. That's January. Then what happens? Well, according to Execution: The discipline of getting things done by Larry Bossidy former CEO of Honeywell and business advisor Ram Charan, the typical executive team spends less than four hours making sure the plan works. Somehow they let planning replace execution in their consciousness.
This isn't going to be a lengthy treatise topping the joys of cooking up a plan. If you don't believe in planning, you're probably beyond saving. Instead, join me as we spend some time talking about how to turn that plan into results – the execution stuff.
To make this discussion real, we'll come back to one very commonly discussed plan.
Distributors struggle to maximize their gross margin. Dozens of trade publication articles, consultative commentaries and presentations exist on the power of adding just one percent more gross margin. Hundreds of plans for margin improvement can be found in the distribution community. So, not only is this a great case study – it is real to a great many readers. We will call this a pricing plan.
Remember this article is not about planning. It's about make the plan work. Six steps to success? Well there are other factors, but these six ideas will stack the deck in your favor.
Step 1 – Somebody has to be responsible
If no one has the responsibility and corresponding authority to make the plan come to life, it's damned from day one. The adage two heads are better than one doesn't apply here - committees are even worse. One specific person must be responsible for seeing the plan through.
This doesn't mean one person has to do all of the work – most of the time this is impossible. But a single individual must be held accountable for pushing the plan forward. Additionally, the power, judgment and authority to make the plan work need to abide with this person. Judgment is critical - if this individual lacks the acumen to tweak the plan in accordance with changing business landscape, disaster could result.
With pricing plans, we need a single person at the helm. They must understand selling dynamics, pricing situations and customer needs and possess the judgment factor we spoke of in the last paragraph. The prestige and authority to stand up to the sales person pushback are a must have. This cannot be low-level person.
Companies with ongoing success in this category appoint an executive level Pricing Czar to assume responsibility for driving the plan. Serving as the ultimate authority in questions regarding margin and price, this person carries the full authority of the leadership team to solve disputes and handle pushback. His/her ruling is final.
Step 2 – Develop metrics throughout the plan
It's a long road from here to Nirvana – without measures the chances of successful completion drop off substantially. Mid-course measures become the catalyst for revisiting the plan. And, based on Bossidy and Charan's observation – executives spend way too little time revisiting the plan during the year.
Without a measure, forward progress becomes objective – a matter of conjecture – an opinion. Opinions sway on mood, recent events and convincing arguments. Setting milestones– holds everyone to the straight and narrow.
In a pricing plan the most obvious indicator is gross margin. External forces like fluctuations in season, the economy and trends in commodity prices (copper, steel, oil, etc.) push us to look for additional measures - metrics lying just below the surface. Information such as pricing exceptions, salesperson compliance to "system pricing" and margin shifts in product lines have proven to be more valuable in tracking progress.
Quite frankly, these are time consuming and difficult for the average company to sort out. In the world of pricing process, a few thought leaders have emerged. David Bauders and his Strategic Pricing Associates have built complex software algorithms to automate the metrics with a number of reports which inform the manager on the speed and direction of change. Truly successful companies insist on this type of regular feedback.
Step 3 – If issues develop, understand the root causes and make adjustments
It's not enough to know the plan isn't working. We've got to get to the root cause of the issues. This can be derived by asking – Why, how, what? Let's face it every plan comes with unexpected issues. Unanticipated conditions are part of the business environment – markets change, competitors react, suppliers fail to deliver and new technologies affect the playing field. Rather than lamenting failure or worse yet sticking with a bad plan, we must search for the root causes of the issues. Making wise adjustments to the plan is crucial to long term success.
Ask questions to better understand the situation– things like:
Don't think generalities – specifics are the name of the game. Insist on the same from your staff and coworkers. Drill down to the root causes of the issue via investigation.
Jumping back to the real world and a pricing plan – many companies find they struggle to meet the initial goals of their plan. On the surface, a person might just assume the competitive nature of "our business" prohibits implementation. However, deeper drilling may uncover a host of root cause issues. Here is a short list:
Interviews with companies who have instituted world class pricing plans indicate a willingness to attack each of these root cause issues systematically. For instance, Industrial Supply Magazine's Distributor of the Year, Stellar Industrial Supply conducted a series of ongoing employee meetings to combat the competitive pushback issue. They addressed the root issue and pushed their plan over the goal line.
Step 4 – Insist on individual compliance with the plan
Are there individuals who refuse to follow the plan? Many a great plan fails because a few dissenters stonewall the execution. Whether done in the open or covertly underground, these must be addressed.
Change is difficult and threatens the experienced more than the novice. It's not uncommon for a long-term team member to oppose some aspect of the plan. Except in the most blatant of cases this manifests itself with half-hearted or delayed activities. For instance, they may sheepishly try the plan once and announce failure. This is incredibly frustrating and damaging to morale – particularly in selling situations.
In research for a new book The Target Driven Sales Process, we discovered a number of businesses who could not determine whether product introductions failed because of product design flaws or due to poorly executed product launches. A good many of these managers noted successful salespeople who were conspicuously lacking in their ability to launch any product that falls outside the "mainstream" offering.
In the world of planning for price improvement – measuring individual compliance appears to be vital for success. Again referring to the work of David Bauders' Strategic Pricing Associates; we notice easily accessible compliance reports are a tool for building results.
The Pricing Czar is provided with a report measuring compliance to the pricing strategy by division, sales group, territorial branch, product line and sales person. The report indicates not only those not expanding the pricing process but delivers "what if" numbers - showing potential assuming various levels of compliance.
Step 5 – Instruct, educate and coach throughout the plan
Catastrophe awaits those who ignore the human element. Our plan – no matter how basic – must contain a mechanism for instruction of those involved in execution. As we contemplate the education piece - let's remember; human learning requires repetition. There is a good reason for our repeated expose to the same TV ad or Radio jingle – Madison Avenue has this stuff down to a science.
Launch your plan with an instructional session and repeat that session at points along the way. Provide metric related updates for the group. And, for those who lag behind – provide personalized coaching. Remember – good coaches motivate each person according to that person's personality. Some people need encouragement; others a pep talk and finally the laggards described in step 4 may need a shot of something stronger.
Switching back to our pricing plans – we find top-flight companies have well developed educational plans in place. The very best actually launch the instruction well ahead of any other piece of their plan.
Interestingly enough, as one explores the pricing system developed by Strategic Pricing Associates, they find a wealth of training information designed to anticipate the issues arising as a company goes through the plan. Topics like understanding value, the buying habits of various organizations, pricing sensitivity and competitive pressures are rolled out ahead of the very first systemic change.
This brings us to our final point in developing a plan.
Step 6 – Look to others for implementation tips
No, this isn't a couched come-on for consulting companies. Implementation tips flow from a number of places – basically anyone who has been down a similar road. Folks like benchmarking partners, distributor trade associations, and business networks. And yes… consultants sometimes fill this role.
Understanding the pot holes on the road to executing your plan eliminates a great deal of frustration and save countless hours spent reinventing the wheel.
Finally a conclusion…
Whether we are just launching out with a new plan or mid-way through a rough and rocky implementation, following these six steps will maximize our success. Finally, remember even the best of plans must be tweaked along the way – think implementation, adaptation, implementation.

The parliamentary candidates for the Louth and Horncastle constituency faced voters at a fiery hustings event in Louth last Wednesday (April 22).
Rev Canon Alan Robson chaired the event at the Methodist Church Hall in Nichol Hill, which was almost filled to capacity by an audience of enthusiastic residents and supporters.
Six of the seven candidates for our constituency were in attendance on the night, but Lib Dem Lisa Gabriel was unable to attend.
The first question put to the candidates was a simple one: why should we elect you?
Daniel Simpson (Lincs Independent) told the audience that he has lived and worked here for the best part of 40 years, with experience on district and parish councils.
He added that our area had been "short changed", and he would provide "a Lincolnshire identity in Parliament".
This area has had the same MP for 40 years - what difference has it made voting for the same party?Matt Brown
Romy Rayner (Greens) also highlighted her lifelong residency here, and said that her party represented "a real genuine alternative", which could provide an "equitable, fairer and more sustainable society".
Matt Brown (Labour) said he was "Lincolnshire born and proud", and he would focus on jobs, investment and growth.
He said: "This area has had the same MP for 40 years - what difference has it made voting for the same party?"
Colin Mair (UKIP) said he had worked in private industry all his life and has also been a county councillor for the last two years. He added that Lincolnshire had been "underfunded and neglected... we need to let London know that we're here."
Victoria Atkins (Cons) highlighted her real life experience as a wife, mum, campaigner and prosecutor, and said she wants to "restore some fairness into national life" as an active MP.
Responding to claims that she had been 'parachuted' into the area, she added: "I am the only candidate who has been selected by the voters of Louth and Horncastle."
As might be expected, Peter Hill (Monster Raving Loony) got the most laughs out of the audience, but made clear that the most important thing is "to listen to the people of this constituency first".
He added: "I'm the only OAP standing who hasn't got a job - so I need one!"
The first question from the audience asked candidates what they thought about the global environmental movement 'Earth Day'.
Colin Mair said: "We should try to set a good example... but at the same time we've got to be practical.
"Wind turbines cost so much... we could be looking at nuclear and fusion power."
Matt Brown said he wants a sustainable, vibrant, healthy future for Earth, and said that he opposes fracking.
Victoria Atkins described the beauty of the countryside and "I don't think we need any more wind turbines here... enough is enough.
Romy Rayner said: "If we leave an environmentally destroyed planet to [our children], I think they're going to have far bigger questions than the question mark over the landscape and scenery."
Peter Hill suggested having solar panels of the roofs of commercial and industrial buildings, and Daniel Simpson said: "Your consumerism is someone else's penalty", adding that we need to minimise our movements.
The next topic up for discussion was foreign aid, during which Labour's Matt Brown said that his UKIP opponent's "mask is slipping" - click here to read more.

Michigan School-Reform Panel Urges High-Tech, Early-Childhood Efforts
A blue-ribbon task force in Michigan has presented Gov. James J. Blanchard with the education-reform report he called for in his state-of-the-state address last year--a set of ideas for immediate improvements rather than long-range planning.
The work of the Governor's Educational Summit Task Force--set up in September--represents an attempt by Governor Blanchard to develop a statewide consensus on educational improvements to deliver to the legislature in late January, according to Donald L. Bemis, superintendent of the Utica Community Schools and chairman of the task force.
The panel, made up of six members drawn from the public and private sectors, was asked to make its recommendations "realistic" for implementation in the 1985-86 school year. In addition, the proposals were to be applicable on the classroom level and relevant to a wide range of school systems across the state, Mr. Bemis said.
Model Programs
The task force recommended that its proposals be tested first with model programs and that the state provide guidance and financial support to schools and districts without forcing them to adopt the new recommendations.
Citing the educational benefits to poor and minority students and the large number of single or working parents in Michigan, the report recommended that the state provide planning and funds to districts to set up early-childhood-education programs for all 4-year-olds.
Use of Technology
The group also called for the establishment by the state board of education of an office of educational technology, which would help provide better planning for the use of high technology at the classroom and school-district levels.
The task force recommended, as well, expanded student testing, financial support for a scholarship program that would award academically talented high-school students college scholarships, higher teacher-certification standards, the development of a certification plan for administrators, mandatory professional-development programs for teachers, and a voluntary K-12 school-accreditation program.
Panel members also urged the state board to help local districts and industries identify the aims of school-business partnerships and set up model programs; aid districts in developing communication programs for parents, schools, and communities; and formulate model attendance and discipline policies.
One key proposal considered by the group--a longer school year--was discarded, however, after public hearings around the state and the testimony of experts suggested it had little support.
No assessment has been made of the costs of funding the recommendations, but the state department of management and budget is currently drawing up an estimate, Mr. Bemis said.
The task force's report comes one year after the release of the state board's "Blueprint for Action," a reform proposal that was issued last January.
The two reports overlap in many respects, Mr. Bemis said, but they differ in scope. "The state board's blueprint is a long-range plan," he explained, "but we're mostly interested in legislative action for 1985."
'Very Favorable' Reaction
Governor Blanchard's reaction to the report has been "very favorable," Mr. Bemis said, but the Governor has not yet indicated what specific proposals he will incorporate into his state-of-the-state address later this month.
Though Michigan is in a period of fiscal constraint, Mr. Bemis said, it is likely that the Governor and the legislature will provide some support for the proposals.
"Money is pretty tight now, but the Governor has put education as a very high priority," he said. "It was the only section of the budget that has received increased funding in the last two years."

As the manager of the radio station, I am responsible for handling demos and responding to PR agencies. Since I have a background in Audio Engineering, I also provide technical support. I am the sole web designer and created the site's design based on their branding.

TotallySketch.com features high quality comedy videos that are actually funny. A new sketch comedy video airs each Thursday and occasionally some fun red carpet events or exclusive interviews. I took the Totally Sketch logo and used it to create the overall feel of the site, aswell as aid in the branding of the Twitter and page.
YRB had already a design in place, but they wanted me to make a WordPress theme similar to it for their blog. In my process, I had to render their images again, give them cleaner edges, and add their trademark colors. I then created the sidebar, posts, and a simple comments area. Layout is coded using DIVs and CSS.

The fine print on pipelines isn't scary: Robert Bradley
July 24, 2017
Have you heard? Transporting oil through pipelines is a threat to humanity! The many accidents highlighted in the press speak for themselves.
Except that pipeline accidents are rare - and many accounts contain exaggerations. Too often, they imply that pipelines, really the energy they carry, should be phased out.
Headline hyperbole
Welcome to the war on fossil fuels, where every mishap is portrayed as the Bad News Bears.
Consider the recent article from Michigan that Enbridge Line 5, piping crude oil through the Great Lake State, has spilled 1.1 million gallons of oil since 1968.
The catch is, the majority of these incidents happened decades ago. In other words, technological advances have made pipelines safer than ever.

Senior Shia cleric killed by unknown gunmen in Pakistan
SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)- A prominent Shia cleric has been shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad.
According to the Pakistani police, Allama Muhammad Nawaz Irfani, a leader of the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) religious and political party, lost his life after unknown assailants opened fire on his car in one of the districts of Islamabad on Wednesday.
Irfani was credited with organizing Pakistan's local tribes against Taliban militants.
Following the incident, the MWM gave the Pakistani government a 12-hour ultimatum to identify and detain those behind the deadly attack.
Moreover, Pakistan's Shia Ulema Council condemned Irfani's murder, and lashed out at the government for failing to protect civilians and giving terrorists a free hand to massacre Shia leaders.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack, but such assaults are often attributed to pro-Taliban terrorists.
Earlier this month, another Shia cleric, Allama Nisar Abbas, was gunned down by terrorists in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.
Pro-Taliban groups have launched a violent campaign against Shia Muslims and appear to have widened their terror campaign in major Pakistani cities.
According to local sources, militants affiliated to Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorist groups have killed thousands of Shia Muslims in the country.
The killing of Shias in Pakistan has sparked international outrage, with rights groups and regional countries expressing concern over the ongoing carnage. Still, those behind the violence are rarely caught or punished.
Shia Muslims in Pakistan say the government must take decisive action against the forces involved in the targeted killings. They also accuse Islamabad of failing to provide security for the Muslim community.

A pair of wands from the Harry Potter film have been snapped up at auction for �12,500.
And the buyers have insisted on staying a secret because they plan to give the wands to their young relatives on December 25.
The carved wooden wands came in special boxes which had been signed by Harry Potter author, JK Rowling.
Written on the boxes is the phrase: "Remember: underage wizards must not use magic outside Hogwarts".
The wands were used in the first film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which is out in the UK on 16 November.
JK Rowling donated the wands to the cancer charity, Maggie's Support Centre, which then auctioned them off to the highest bidder.

Good tips for porcelain repair start with cleaning and drying the area well, followed by sanding the damaged section. Good repair kits are found in the paint section of home improvement stores according to realtor.com.
Choosing a filler kit that matches the color of the current porcelain is important for a quality repair. Realtor.com recommends applying a thin layer of filler once per day for one week, and allowing for adequate drying time. Circular motions for sanding the layers of filler is preferred. Keep in mind that using as little glaze as possible will make the repair seamless. Be sure to only sand the filler and the glaze over the repair to avoid scratching the rest of the porcelain.

Re: draft losers
Cleveland did make a strange pick, maybe the "potential" comes through someday? I almost think they kinda made up for that with the danny green pick in the second- he's the guy I thought they should grab in rd 1
I agree that it seemed indiana may have had other needs, but I don't think they really could have traded down and still got him- wouldn't chicago have taken him at 16? Either way I don't think he was taken way too early as I see him being better than j hill and the second best pf after griffen
Ny, denver, and minni all made bigger mistakes imo because there were clear cut differences in what they should have done and what they did- bigger mistakes than handsbrough over holiday and eyenga over ???

My Love Tonight
And I
Go dancing for a little
Have never felt so little
Fear the stars in their eyes
You feel them lie
So close
You never dare to breathe
You never dare the stars
In their eyes
Their eyes
Am I?
Supposed to even say
Suppose I even say
I see they're lovers eyes
Their love - tonight
So loose
It never seemed so much
It never seemed so
So why?
So why?
My love tonight
And I -
Will never need this much
Will never see the moon so starry eyed
My love tonight
My love and I
My love and I

Housing Options
Long-Term Academic Program (LTAP) housing is typically available as early as the first Sunday of ISU's Summer Session I classes and ends no later than the Saturday immediately following the last day of Summer Session II classes, although check-in and check-out dates are subject to availability each year. Sponsors should plan for check-in and check-out times between 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The housing areas used for accommodations also house ISU summer school students and/or short-term conference groups that are usually academically focused. For Summer 2018, we offer two housing options for LTAP participants.
- Frederiksen Court apartments are an option for program participants who are typically college undergraduates past their freshman year and above.
- Buchanan Hall residence hall rooms are an option for high-school age participants, as well as undergraduate-age (and above) participants.
Frederiksen Court Housing
Frederiksen Court apartments are located on the north side of campus and are only a fifteen-minute walk to most major campus buildings. Passenger elevator access is available to all residents in these 3-story apartments. Frederiksen Court apartments are designed for 4 occupants with either 4 private bedrooms or 2 shared bedrooms (2 people per bedroom with lofted beds). At the Department's discretion, some shared bedrooms in the apartments may contain furnishings for two occupants, but only one occupant will be assigned to the bedroom. At the Department's discretion, some bedrooms may remain unassigned and locked. Extra room furnishings will not be removed. The Department reserves the right to assign a guest from another similar program or an ISU student to any remaining vacancies within the apartment.
The apartments are air-conditioned, carpeted or solid-surface throughout, and furnished as follows: Bedroom furniture includes a bed (lofted in the 2-bedroom apartments), clothing drawers, desk, chair, file caddy, and wardrobe. Living room furniture includes a sofa, armchair, end table, coffee table, and if a ceiling light is not present, then a table and floor lamp. Laundry and kitchen appliances include washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Telephone lines are not active in the apartments. Exterior building telephones will be active for emergency and local calls; long-distance calls require a calling card. Each apartment has basic and expanded basic cable (televisions are not supplied). Apartments have wireless internet access. Residents provide their own study lamps, bed linens (for 36" x 80" XL twin-sized mattress), mattress pad, pillows, blankets, bedspreads, towels, washcloths, wastebaskets, cleaning supplies, cooking/dining items, and ethernet cable (if desired). Custodial service is not provided in the apartments. Residents will be provided a list of items to be cleaned upon check-out.
Alcoholic beverages may be consumed in the privacy of a Frederiksen Court apartment if individuals are age twenty-one or older. Smoking is prohibited on all university grounds, including parking lots, and in all university-owned or operated buildings, residence halls and apartments.
Frederiksen Court will be staffed with live-in Community Advisors (CA's) in the ratio of approximately 1 CA for every 200 residents. Community Advisors will serve as an information resource for program participants regarding Department and University policies and procedures. They will also enforce Department policies, such as when noise, dangerous or destructive behavior occurs. The Frederiksen Court Office, located within the Frederiksen Court Community Center also serves as a resource for guests.
Parking permits may be purchased at the ISU Parking Division in the Armory to park in the Frederiksen Court parking lots (for Summer 2017, the cost of a parking permit was $39.00).
Frederiksen Court LTAP residents are required to have one of the Dining Options for Groups 14 or More Days.
See the Frederiksen Court Apartments and Community Center on a campus map or the layout (this link coming soon) of a typical Frederiksen Court Apartment (there are various configurations).
Buchanan Hall Housing
Buchanan Hall is located just south of Lincoln Way and the Memorial Union and is only a ten to fifteen-minute walk to most major campus buildings. The majority of Buchanan Hall housing consists of suites which are two sleeping rooms with a shared bathroom in-between. Residents in one room can access the other sleeping room through the shared bathroom. Passenger elevator access is available to all residents in this high-rise (one section is four floors high and the other is nine floors high) residence hall. A laundry room is on the lowest floor and is accessed using the resident's building keycard. Laundry machines require a guest card to operate and these may be purchased at any of the open convenience stores run by ISU Dining.
The rooms are air-conditioned and furnished as follows: a desk, chair, and wastebasket for each resident; an XL twin-sized (single) bed (most of which will be lofted) and mattress for each resident; a chest of drawers, closet, and window coverings. Telephone lines are not active in resident rooms. Hallway and exterior building telephones will be active for emergency and local calls; long-distance calls require a calling card. Rooms have basic and expanded basic cable service (televisions are not supplied). Residents provide their own study lamps, bed linens (for 36" x 80" XL twin-sized mattress), pillows, blankets, bedspreads, towels, washcloths, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, and ethernet cable (if desired). Custodial service is not provided in the suites.
Approximately half of Buchanan Hall rooms are single-occupancy and the remainder are double-occupancy rooms.
Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the Buchanan Hall guest areas for Long-Term Academic Programs (LTAP). Smoking is prohibited on all university grounds, including parking lots, and in all university-owned or operated buildings, residence halls and apartments. 24 hour courtesy hours are always in effect. Quiet hours are Sunday through Thursday 11:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. and Friday and Saturday 2:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
Buchanan Hall will be staffed with one or more live-in Academic Program Assistants (APAs). Academic Program Assistants will serve as an information resource for program participants regarding Department and University policies and procedures. They will also enforce residence hall policies, such as when noise, dangerous or destructive behavior occurs. When open, the Buchanan Desk and nearby Geoffroy Conference Desk or Maple-Willow-Larch Conference Desk also serve as a resource for guests.
A limited amount of short-term parking to unload vehicles during check-in will be available nearby. Long-term parking permits may be purchased for parking in Lot 62, immediately south of Buchanan. For Summer 2017, the cost of a parking permit was $39 per month.

Accommodations Request and Contracting
For housing and dining availability, contact our Conference Services Staff. Housing and dining in specific areas is subject to availability of space and facilities projects each summer.
Due to our department's need for advance scheduling notifications for full-time staff, anticipated use of staff from outside our department, and the number of facilities projects/improvements, we are establishing deadlines and a financial commitment from our conference groups.
For returning groups from the previous summer, sponsors will be asked to complete either the Accommodations Request for Long-Term Academic Programs in Buchanan - Summer 2018 or Accommodations Request for Long-Term Academic Programs in Frederiksen Court - Summer 2018, listing requests for their group. During the spring (between January and mid-March), a contract will be issued to the sponsor, with details, rates, and deadlines, etc., to contractually confirm the accommodations for the group. The collection of information and the completion of a contract should be finished by mid-March. In the event the submitted contract is cancelled between Sunday, April 15, 2018 and the deadline for guaranteed numbers established in the contract, the Sponsor agrees to pay 20% of the cost of the room and meal plans. Additional deadlines and financial obligations will be outlined in the contract.
Sponsors will supply required information to complete room assignments for check-in. The sponsor will also be responsible to notify each participant of the housing and dining options selected for them, their expected check-in time and place, etc. Basic information will be supplied by the Conference Services Staff for the sponsor to supplement and send with personalized information to each participant.
If participants are under the age of eighteen, Sponsors must comply with the Youth Activities, Pre-Collegiate Programs and Camps policy and procedures and the Reporting Responsibilities - Violations policy and procedures on the ISU Policy Library website. Each year, all sponsors will be responsible for contacting staff at the Office of Risk Management at Iowa State University to obtain an appropriate Emergency Contact and Medical Information and/or Parental Permission forms and review any other requirements for bringing guests to ISU's campus. Early contact is encouraged.
For new groups seeking accommodations, contact our Conference Services Staff as early as possible. New or returning groups inquiring about accommodations after mid-March may still make a request, but will experience a wait (up to five business days) to receive an answer on being guaranteed accommodations.

My 10 favorite eateries in New York City
There are thousands of really good restaurants around the city and I am sure that you will find almost every dish in the world somewhere within the five boroughs of New York. In this article I provide a list with my ten favorite New York restaurants. The order in which the restaurants are listed is irrelevant and does not include any ranking. I hope you'll find an opportunity to check the one or other location by yourself.
Loading map...
1. Jing Fong Restaurant (Chinatown, Manhattan – www.jingfongny.com)
If you want a true, authentic Chinese dim sum experience, this is the place to be. But you should know a few things to beat "the system": get there very early for your Saturday or Sunday lunch (before noon), the wait will become extremely long even though there is a HUGE space upstairs. It is so large that they actually have an escalator that takes you to your table. I am not such a big dim sum fan, but the whole location and the atmosphere is an event itself.
The moment we sat down, the cart ladies came around and offered us a large variety of dishes. Even if you have no clue about Chinese food, you can just pick something which looks appealing to you. Service was almost frantically attentive. More tea, water, napkins: all were provided instantaneously. The food was fresh, tasty, and HOT. We were choosing things almost at random, and there was nothing that wasn't at least good. We were not the only non-Asians there, but it was close. Overall I can say: we ate so much and paid so little, but had an extremely extraordinary lunch in Chinatown.
2. Mitali East (East Village, Manhattan – www.mitalieast.com)
In Manhattan's East Village – on 6th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue – is a stretch of various Indian Restaurants. The first time we went there, we had no idea which one to choose as they pretty much look all the same. And then Mitali East was recommended by a good friend of mine and it really serves good Indian food at affordable prices.
As they do offer a prix fix buffet for just $10.95 incl. soda or wine every Saturday and Sunday (from noon till 3pm), this is usually for us the time to go there.
More about the restaurant and its surrounding in this great blog article from Ellen Jovin:
A Gastronomical Approach – Indian food will not teach you Hindi, but it tastes amazing.
3. Charm Thai Restaurant (Upper West Side, Manhattan – www.charmthainyc.com)
We found this restaurant by accident the other day – we were buying a futon in the neighborhood, were hungry and saw Charm and walked in. The restaurant is located on Amsterdam Avenue between 96th and 95th Street in the Upper West Side. The atmosphere is very cozy, modern and the decor on the wall (a variety of colored bowls) and a few other installations are a such a great idea, that I already thought to decorate my kitchen that way. Food is delicious – I love the hint of coconut milk and basil many of the dishes have – and all for very reasonable prices. All of the curries that are served are filled with spices and have a great aftertaste, especially Panang and Masaman Curry. The Lunch Prix Fix (everyday between 11.30am – 4pm) starts at $8 for one appetizer and one entree. Service is great too.
4. Kasbah BBQ & Grill (Upper West Side, Manhattan – www.delikasbah.com)
Kasbah BBQ and Grill (more commonly known as Deli Kasbah) is a neighborhood restaurant and serves food mainly to its Jewish community. It's been around for over 25 years. Located on the north side of 86th street just west of Broadway you enter Kasbah through a small entrance down a few stairs. The decor is pretty standard steakhouse, with a few Middle Eastern flourishes which you may not even notice not paying attention to it. What you most certainly will notice are the two flat panel TV screens playing a loop of video footage of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. It's an weird design choice to be certain, but it does give the restaurant a style all its own. From what I've learned from our Jewish friend, who introduced us to the place, is that the owner was Baal Teshuva (return of secular Jews to religious Judaism) which explains the dedication to The Rebbe.
They have a pretty extensive menu featuring many different kinds of burgers, different salads, shawarma, etc. Since a while they also offer kosher sushi, which is one of the best I ever had in the city.
5. Wonjo Korean Restaurant (Koreatown, Manhattan – www.newwonjo.com)
This 24-hour barbecue joint, located on 32nd Street between 5th Avenue and Herald Square, is widely considered to be the best on the block and I must agree. We tried a few other places in Koreatown, but we always go back to Wonjo. The Restaurant can be very crowded at prime time for dinner, but it is definitely worth the wait. They have two floors, though if you come for BBQ you have to wait for a table upstairs, where the grills are built into the center of the table itself (be aware that the room can become very hot in summer).
The waitresses were extremely nice and friendly. First they come with all these appetizers (about 6-8 different little plates), which they always serve no matter what you order. The appetizers are so delicious that they even refill them for you if you want. The Korean BBQ is a great experience. It is so much fun to prepare your bulgogi (sliced beef sirloin or tenderloin) or galbi (marinated beef short ribs) right in front of you. Nonetheless my personal favorite is the stew DDUKBAKI BULGOKI (marinated sliced rib-eye, rice cake and noodles). And also the other stews are very delicious with a variety in spiciness. Finally after dinner you usually get either a complimentary cinnamon tea or fruits.
6. Spice Market (Meatpacking District, Manhattan – spicemarketnewyork.com)
Located in the heart of the Meatpacking District this location is just gorgeous. Not only does this huge place has a spectacular Balinese decor, but the food concept "street foods of Southeast Asia" causes an explosion of the senses. Wow! What wonderful combinations of selected spices in each dish I've never experienced before. If it is your first visit I would absolutely recommend to choose the (7 or 8 course) Spice Market Menu, which gives you great overview of the various dishes. Overall: Spice Market masterfully combines creative food with aesthetics interior design in an absolutely stunning and unique NYC spot (check it out and look inside). Make a reservation though.
7. Wechsler's Currywurst (East Village, Manhattan – www.currywurstnyc.com)
"A Temple to German Sausage" the Village Voice reviewed and they are right. It is a pub style eatery and this tiny, cozy place reminds me so much of home (especially Duesseldorf and the Ruhr area). You order your beer from a great tap selection and your choice of perfect prepared sausage at the counter. The currywurst with its delicious sauce (made by the owners own recipe secret) and the spicy merguez are my personal favorites. Fries are homemade too and you can be sure that all sides, such as kale, potato salad and sauerkraut are always fresh and tasty.
8. BANY – best Asian New York (Long Island City, Queens – www.banynyc.com)
Located in Long Island City / Hunters Point – Queens, just a few minutes from Midtown Manhattan (1 Stop from Grand Central Terminal on 7-train), the restaurant features a full sushi bar with classic rolls along with house specialty rolls. BANY contains a Japanese influence to its dishes, but also has classics such as curries, pad Thai, teriyaki, tempura and Vietnamese spring rolls.
We learned about this location while a friend organized a meeting with virtualtourist here. And it was a great find. The food is delicious and a visit here can be perfectly combined with a nice walk to the waterfront in Long Island City (Gantry Plaza). Views of the skyline are magnificent and a final cocktail at SHI Restaurant (www.shilic.com) could make it a perfect evening.
9. Zum Stammtisch (Glendale, Queens – www.zumstammtisch.com)
Glendale, where is that? I know many of you New Yorkers or visitors will say, that this places seems to be a little bit out of the way. I agree, but for me it is the best German Restaurant in the City. While exploring this unknown area, we also accidentally passed this restaurant. As native German – of course curious and snoopy by this find – we walked in right away . That was on a Saturday (early evening) and we quickly found out that we entered a really bustling place. Luckily we were still able to get a seat at the bar and ordered the advertised Steak Tatar, which came with a very delicious potato salad, anchovies and capers.
After this first experiences we went back various times and it was always fantastic. And for the holiday season in December I can absolutely recommend Zum Stammtisch for its great Goose dinner. This became our tradition, as we go there with a large group of friends to celebrate the Christmas Season.
10. Radegast Hall & Biergarten (Williamsburg, Brooklyn – www.radegasthall.com)
Radegasthall, one block and a half from Bedford Avenue is another very unique place. The bar is massive, located in the center of the room, with dark wood and lots of stools. The next room has long picnic tables, where it is nice to sit during the day. I love communal seating, so this is pretty great as you always meet some nice people to chat with. The main menu offers a great selection of entrees, while my favorite is the Hungarian Goulash, where I always like to come for. In the beer hall is a grill, where you can also order various sausages and sandwiches. To accompany your food you'll find an awesome German/Belgian/European beer selection. Cool live music.

There is no such thing as "kosher-style" food. Kosher is not a style of cooking. Chinese food can be kosher if it is prepared in accordance with Jewish law, and there are many fine kosher Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia and New York. Traditional Ashkenazic Jewish foods like knishes , bagels , blintzes , and matzah ball soup can all be non-kosher if not prepared in accordance with Jewish law. When a restaurant calls itself "kosher-style," it usually means that the restaurant serves these traditional Jewish foods, and it almost invariably means that the food is not actually kosher.
hundertmorgenAugust 4, 2013
Thank you very much for adding this information. You are right Kosher is not a style of cooking. It has to do with rituals, Jewish laws and certain rules of preparation. Anyway the Kasbah BBQ & Grill serves Kosher Food, while it is run by the Dery Brothers. They are certified Glatt Kosher under the O.K. supervision. I actually went there a few times with my Jewish friends, who only eat Kosher. It is a very favorite place within Manhattans Jewish Community.

It's hard to escape the shadow of a peer when that peer is your superstar sister, but the Solange Knowles Complex June/July 2013 cover story and editorial illustrate that the 26-year-old Texas native has enough poise, star power and style to be examined as a notable talent in her own right.
The Solange Knowles Complex June/July 2013 editorial was shot by vaunted collaborative photography duo JUCO, and capitalizes on Solange's ascent to the top of of the mainstream heap, which began last year when she released the spellbinding hit, 'Losing You.'
The poses, color blocking, and sex appeal in the Solange Knowles Complex editorial are staggering. Already a favorite of fashion luminaries like Roberto Cavalli and Giorgio Armani, Solange displays the confidence and poise of a veteran supermodel. She's alternates between coy, coquettish and assured facial expressions with ease.
If the Solange Knowles Complex June/July 2013 editorial is any indication, we're witnessing the rapid development of yet another multi-faceted fashion, music and art empire from a member of the Knowles family.
