Two new government reports illustrate the complex and troubling state of opportunity in America, but also the right way forward.
The first set of data, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, found that the gender pay gap is at a historic low, with women earning almost 83¢ for every dollar earned by men—compared with 76¢ a decade ago and until fairly recently. The change is due in part to young women's progress in the workplace—they increasingly are better educated and out-earn their male counterparts—but also to depressed wages and, especially, more rapid job loss by men.
Wage rates, in other words, are largely leveling down instead of leveling up. Figures for African Americans were especially striking: median weekly wages rose 8% over a one-year period for black women and fell by 2.4% for black men.
The second set of data came from the Census Bureau, which reported that the number of working-age Americans living in poverty was the highest since the 1960s, and that one in seven Americans were poor. The poverty rate for Latinos (25.3%) and African Americans (25.8%) is more than double that of whites (9.4%), meaning, among other things, that one in four people of color are struggling to provide for their families.
The poverty figures were for 2009, President Obama's first year in office. So they are less a referendum on his presidency than they are a clear problem statement for the administration and Congress (whatever its partisan composition) going forward. Together, the new information calls for initiatives and investment in both greater and more equal opportunity for all Americans.
That means, for example, a focus on retraining and education for well-paying jobs in the new economy, and better aligning existing green jobs training to actual, long-term job opportunities. But it also means ensuring that private-sector jobs and public-sector initiatives reach all Americans and their communities, irrespective of race, gender, or ethnicity.
One of President Obama's first acts was to sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and his Justice Department has stepped up its fair employment enforcement considerably. But more is needed.
The Opportunity Agenda has proposed the use of Opportunity Impact Statements to ensure that public investments in employment and infrastructure in fact create quality job opportunities, and do so equitably. And Congress should move forward with legislation to ensure paid sick leave for all workers—a step that will help close the gender wage gap, since women are more likely to lose work days, and pay, as caregivers to sick children, elderly parents and others.
These protections should be elements of a renewed focus on job creation, such as through the Local Jobs for America Act proposed by Rep. George Miller of California. Also welcome is the commonsense proposal for immigration reform to be introduced by New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez—fixing our broken immigration system will raise both wages and tax revenues now and for years to come.
As the latest economic figures show, steps to ensure both greater and more equal opportunity benefit all Americans, and our nation as a whole. Now is the time to make them a reality.

(Reuters) - In a ceremony fitting royalty, the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington said on Sunday it was naming a rare, female giant panda cub "Bao Bao," after a public online vote that drew more than 123,000 submissions.
Bao Bao (rhyming with Pow Pow) translates as precious or treasure in English, the zoo said. It was one of five Mandarin Chinese names offered in the online vote that ran from November 5 to November 22. Other options included Ling Hua, meaning a darling, delicate flower; and Mulan, a smart and brave Chinese warrior. The zoo said it had received 123,039 votes.
The name was revealed on what is the cub's 100th day of life in keeping with a Chinese tradition for naming babies, and was presented in both English and Chinese languages on scrolls hanging from a 12-foot (4-meter) arch at the zoo.
Music and dancing and Chinese treats were served in celebration, zoo officials said.
Chinese and U.S. officials made the naming announcement jointly, and said Bao Bao underscores a collaboration on giant panda conservation that dates back to 1972.
"Bao Bao symbolizes 41 years of research and collaboration both at the National Zoo and in China," Dennis Kelly, director of the Smithsonian's National Zoo, said in a statement. "We're grateful to everyone around the world who voted to name her and help us celebrate today."
Baby Bao Bao was born August 23 during a live broadcast on the zoo's "panda cam" to 15-year-old panda Mei Xiang in the U.S. national zoo. But the cub will be kept from the public until she is old enough to leave the den, estimated to be sometime in early 2014, zoo officials said.
They added that the cub's father, Tian Tian, was served a special ice treat on Sunday to celebrate the naming.
Ambassador Cui Tiankai from the People's Republic of China and Assistant Secretary Kerri-Ann Jones from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs participated in the naming ceremony.
After she turns four years old, Bao Bao will move to the China Conservation and Research Center in Wolong, Sichuan, China, zoo officials said.
Giant pandas are one of the world's most endangered species and Bao Bao was conceived through artificial insemination in March. The natural home of giant pandas is in a few mountain ranges in central China.
There are only about 1,600 known to be living in the wild and some 300 in captivity, mostly in China.

ESPN will pay $80M a year for Rose Bowl
The financial windfall from the new college football playoff system is evident already.
ESPN has agreed to pay an average of $80 million a year for the Rose Bowl, industry experts say, which could push the price tag for the playoffs media rights as high as $600 million for an all-in package that includes a championship game, two semifinals and four major bowls each season.
|With the new Rose Bowl deal, big increases seem assured for other playoff bowls
The Rose Bowl's partners, the Pac-12 and Big Ten, keep all of that media revenue, except in years when the Rose Bowl is a semifinal game in the playoffs. When the bowl is part of the playoffs, that media revenue would flow through the playoff system and be distributed to all of the FBS conferences. That method of distribution has not been determined yet.
ESPN, the current BCS partner, will get first crack at the championship game and semifinals this fall during a 30-day negotiating window. If a deal can't be struck, the package would then go to the open market where Fox Sports and other networks will be waiting.
ESPN currently pays $125 million annually for media rights to the BCS championship, in addition to the $30 million it pays for the Rose Bowl.
But by the time ESPN and college playoff officials have their first conversation in September or October, two other bowls, the new Champions and Orange, will have signed their own separate TV contracts. The ACC will handle the rights negotiations for the Orange Bowl, while the SEC and the Big 12 will jointly negotiate the Champions Bowl deal, which means those bowls would not be included in the overall playoff package.
The Champions is expected to generate an annual rights fee similar to the Rose Bowl, while the Orange Bowl value is expected to be less, sources said. It's hard to put a value on the Orange Bowl now because the ACC does not have a permanent opponent in place for the game, although the conference has had talks with Notre Dame about appearing in the game.
The ideal scenario for the conference commissioners is to keep all of the playoff games and major bowls on the same network, but the open bidding for the Orange and Champions bowl games could complicate matters if another network took one of the games.
"It's pretty simple if ESPN buys everything," Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. "Only when they don't does it start to get complicated with what happens to the semifinals."
One of the quirks of the process is that by the time ESPN bids on the playoff package this fall, it already will have a contract with the Rose and could very well have separate contracts with the Orange and Champions. Those individual bowls can freely negotiate with any network, but ESPN has taken an aggressive stance, considering its bid to keep the Rose.
If ESPN locks down those bowls, it will go into the fall negotiations for the playoffs in position to own the new college postseason.
The semifinal games are expected to rotate among a group of bowls — the Rose, Champions, Orange and three others to be determined. The Rose and Champions have not said publicly if they will participate in the new playoff format, but they are expected to provide the venue for the semifinals in two, three or four years in the 12-year cycle. Most commissioners expect the Rose and Champions to be semifinal games in the same years.
The hodgepodge of what eventually will be four separate contracts — one for each of the three bowls, plus the playoffs — illustrates how convoluted the financial side of the new playoff structure remains. While conference commissioners basked in the glow of their playoff announcement last month, that was the easy part. The harder part — determining how the money will be distributed — remains a significant obstacle.
"It's terribly complex," said Craig Thompson, commissioner of the Mountain West. "There are a ton of moving parts. Right now, we have more questions than we have answers. When you have different levels of stakeholders and different contracts involved, you just have to work through it and that takes time."
The Rose, Orange and Champions are considered "contract bowls" because they have contracts with conference partners and those big five conferences are protecting their revenue from those games.
By doing separate TV deals for those three bowls, the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC guarantee that a significant portion of TV revenue will flow directly into their coffers and won't have to be shared with the other conferences.
The TV revenue that comes from the playoff TV package, however, will be shared with the other conferences — the big five, plus the Big East, MAC, Sun Belt, Mountain West and Conference USA.
The commissioners still haven't determined which bowls will serve as semifinal games.
"Even after the 'contract' bowls do their deals, that leaves a lot of inventory in a playoff package," said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. "It's still a massive package once you consider the championship games, the semifinals and the other 'non-contract' bowls."
The playoff officials will be represented in media talks by BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock and a pair of consultants, Dean Jordan of Wasserman Media Group and former ESPN executive Chuck Gerber. The conference commissioners, however, will have the final say on accepting a deal or not.
Currently, ESPN and Fox, the two dominant networks in the college space, appear to be the most serious bidders. ESPN fills its schedule with college football throughout the fall and its BCS championship games have generated strong audience numbers. Fox, meanwhile, is planning to launch a weekly schedule of Pac-12 and, likely, Big 12 games on its broadcast network this fall.
NBC is a wild card. The network is expected to kick the tires on the package, but because it does not have as many rights to college football games as ESPN or Fox, it is not expected to be a serious bidder.
College officials hope Turner will be interested in a package, which would serve as a complement to its NCAA men's basketball tournament rights. But sources don't expect Turner to make a strong bid because it has no other college football programming.
CBS Sports has a long-term deal to show SEC football, but the network to date has not showed an interest, sources said.
If ESPN and the BCS don't reach a deal on the playoff package this fall and the games go to the open market, that's where negotiations will get complicated. With the playoff games and the Rose, Orange and Champions all having separate media contracts, the conferences risk having playoff games split among multiple networks.
For those bigger conferences, though, doing their own deals comes down to money and control.
"For the Rose Bowl, it's just been understood that a condition of its participation is to maintain its independence and keep the TV deal separate," Scott said.

Dolphins defensive lineman Paul Soliai has made a lot of money in the NFL. He's now carving off a big chunk of it to help the college program that helped him succeed at the next level.
The University of Utah has announced that Soliai has pledged $250,000 to the school's new football center. In recognition of the gift, the facility will include the Paul and LeTasha Soliai Player Lounge.
"I'm thankful I can donate and help out the University of Utah football team and give back to the school," Soliai said in a statement issued by Utah. "They gave me the opportunity to play, and as a kid from Samoa, it's something I'm thankful for every day. Without the University giving me a scholarship to play the sport I love, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Soliai was drafted by the Dolphins in the fourth round of the 2007 draft. The Dolphins used the franchise tag on Soliai in 2011, paying him $12.381 million for one season. In 2012, he signed a two-year deal that runs through 2013.

The following list of frequently asked questions about assisted living/personal care, retirement living, and services for people with Alzheimer's disease and other memory impairments may be helpful in making a decision about one of these senior living options for you or your loved one.
Q: What is assisted living or personal care and why might it be a better option than in-home care?
A: Assisted living/personal care is much like in-home care in that both offer non-medical services. Both provide services like assistance with activities of daily living, bathing, grooming and dressing, transportation to medical offices and shopping, medication reminders and meal preparation.
Working with an in-home care agency is the best way to find an in-home caregiver because they will usually take care of the business side, such as conducting criminal background checks of employees, providing insurance, managing payroll taxes and maintaining support and training of the caregiver – all things a senior's family would be responsible for if hiring a caregiver through private hire or a referral agency.
Likewise, assisted living/personal care communities like Heritage Senior Living take care of business matters, with many other areas of concern, including opportunities for social experiences. Heritage Senior Living communities can also be cost-effective for residents and their families because of Heritage Senior Living's ability to serve our residents as a community.
Q: What is long-term care?
A: Long-term care describes the diverse range of options that are available to seniors who are no longer capable of managing the complete range of daily activities on their own. Sometimes a senior's needs may be met in an independent living community, where the primary focus is bringing seniors together to provide social opportunities – with the added bonuses of things like meal preparation, housekeeping, maintenance and transportation.
Assisted living/personal care - like independent living - shares the aspect of socialization but might include meal and/or medication reminders, assistance with grooming or even incontinence care. Heritage Senior Living's assisted living/personal care communities offer specialty neighborhoods that serve the needs of residents coping with memory loss due to Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
Outside of the Heritage Senior Living family of communities, there are other types of long-term care with various options such as in-home care, home health care, adult day health care, skilled nursing facilities, board and care homes, as well as palliative and hospice care.
Q: Are all assisted living/personal care and retirement living communities alike?
A: No. Assisted living/personal care and retirement living communities vary greatly, even within Heritage Senior Living. At Heritage Senior Living, we're proud that each of our communities is unique and a reflection of its locale. We believe that unique people deserve exceptional communities, designed with these individuals and their desired environment in mind. This holds true for everything from the building's architecture, to the food choices offered, to the Heritage Senior Living professionals who care for our residents. We strive to offer the best assisted living/personal care and retirement living services in each Heritage Senior Living location.
Q: What are continuing care retirement communities?
A: "Aging in Place" is a common industry term that, unfortunately, can potentially mislead those interested in assisted living/personal care. Some establishments offer a range of services that could allow a resident to age in place. These are often called continuing care retirement communities, but you should thoroughly question any assisted living/personal care community that tells you a resident can live at the community forever, even if their needs increase. In fact, the community may not be able to adequately meet the resident's needs for the rest of his or her life, or state regulations may restrict the community's attempt to do so.
At Heritage Senior Living, we offer independent living, assisted living/personal care, and programs for those with memory impairments. In the assisted living/personal care communities, we offer different levels of care designed to meet our residents' changing needs. This allows us to continue to serve residents as their needs increase. However, each state we operate in regulates the level of services we can provide to an assisted living/personal care community. Should one of our residents develop needs requiring services beyond those allowed by state regulations, we will assist the resident and his/her family in finding the best location for their needs.
Q: What is necessary for the care of people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia?
A: One of the most important aspects in the care of a person with Alzheimer's disease or dementia is a properly planned environment. At Heritage Senior Living, you'll find communities that have a separate and secure neighborhood for memory-care residents.
Though we want all of our Heritage Senior Living communities to look nice and feel like home, memory care interior decorating is a science and an art. It's important to have bright, warm and even lighting, as well as carpeting and flooring without busy patterns. Special care and attention is important for residents in memory care. With our specially trained staff, we carefully plan our staff-to-resident ratio and activities programs to ensure that our residents' individual needs are met in a structured and secure environment.
Q: Are new residents required to pay an entrance fee when moving into a Heritage Senior Living community?
A: In our communities, no entrance fee is required. The only up-front fee required by most of our communities is a processing fee. Because this fee varies by community, check with the community of your choice for more information.
Q: Can I bring my own furnishings to my apartment?
A: Yes. This is your home and you should have all the comforts and furnishings to which you're accustomed. Heritage Senior Living residents enjoy decorating their own apartments and entrances to add their own unique personality to their homes.
Q: Can I bring my pet to Heritage Senior Living?
A: We know that a pet can be an important member of the family. Most Heritage Senior Living communities allow residents to have pets in their apartment for a nominal, one-time fee. Be sure to check with the community in your area.
Q: Do Heritage Senior Living communities allow smoking?
A: We are sensitive to the health needs of all of our residents, so Heritage Senior Living communities are designated as non-smoking. Our communities offer dedicated areas where residents and guests are free to smoke.
Q: Is there access to a full-time, licensed nurse?
A: Each Heritage Senior Living assisted living/personal care community employs a full-time, licensed nurse as a Resident Services Director who oversees all aspects of care services including assessments, medication assistance and communication with family and physicians.
Q: Is there access to an emergency call system?
A: Heritage Senior Living's spacious apartments are all equipped with emergency call systems.
Q: What options are there for activities?
A: Each Heritage Senior Living community has a full-time activities director to design and execute a calendar of events that provides residents with plenty of diverse opportunities for cultural entertainment, continual learning, spiritual development, creativity and socialization seven days a week.
Q: What meal programs are available?
A: Each community's full-time culinary staff freshly prepares selections daily. Heritage Senior Living offers varied and seasonal menus. Plus unique dining occasions make mealtime memorable. Many Heritage Senior Living communities also have a café, with complimentary nutritional snacks and beverages available 24 hours a day.
Q: Is there ample privacy in the current accommodations?
A: Heritage Senior Living offers a variety of floor plans from which you can choose either private or semiprivate accommodations with attached baths. With the exception of those who live in our secure, memory-care neighborhoods, residents have their own keys and may come and go as they please.
Q: Is there access to transportation and is it wheelchair accessible?
A: Yes. Heritage Senior Living communities provide scheduled transportation to meet your needs.

Letter to President Obama on Health Care Priorities
March 03, 2009
Dear President Obama:
The National Education Association commends you for placing health care reform at the top of your agenda and for convening a Summit on Health Care to examine this critical issue. Our 3.2 million members, including teachers, education support professionals, and higher education faculty, have long been strong supporters of the need for access to quality, affordable and comprehensive health care coverage for all residents of the United States.
While health care reform is vital to the recovery of our nation's economy, it is also a crucial ingredient for successful public schools. NEA members know firsthand that the lack of necessary medical and dental services for children and students of all ages creates a serious impediment to the learning process. In addition, families with access to a regular source of medical care are more likely to keep the entire family healthy and create a better learning environment within the home. By helping public schools attract and retain top-quality educators, health care benefits also play an important role in ensuring great public schools for all students. When school nurses become primary care providers, as happens all too frequently today, we're well past the time for health care reform.
NEA believes that health care reform must:
1. Guarantee coverage for the uninsured, currently estimated at 45 million individuals, including 9 million children;
2. Control costs so that premiums and health care services are affordable to all, regardless of income or employment status;
3. Incorporate provisions and standards related to medical safety and quality;
4. Result in comprehensive health care coverage that includes but is not limited to medical, surgical, hospital, behavioral health, prescription drug, dental, vision, hearing, and long-term care services and allows choice of providers;
5. Include preventive, wellness, rehabilitative, and disease management programs;
6. Make use of health information technology to reduce medical errors and administrative costs.
We recognize that there are many ways that health care reform could attempt to achieve the broad goals outlined above, but we also know that some proposals under discussion could ultimately be more harmful than helpful. For that reason, NEA also believes that reform must:
- Ensure the availability and security of employment-based health benefit plans. The employment-based system is a proven and effective way for workers and their employers to mutually agree upon the health benefit packages that make the most sense for them. Health care reform must not disrupt this system.
- Guarantee that the employee tax exclusion for health benefits is not limited or capped in any way. Over the course of their careers, many public education employees have traded salary increases for the long term security of a comprehensive health plan. Telling hard-working employees that benefits will be cut or that they will pay more taxes would unfairly penalize them. A tax on salaries above a certain amount would also be unfair to experienced educators who, after decades of dedicated service, have climbed to the top of their salary schedules. Limiting or capping the tax exclusion for health benefits could have a disastrous effect on public education by discouraging highly qualified workers from entering or staying in the profession.
- Maintain the ability of workers and employers to determine the appropriate level of health care benefits available to both active and retired employees, including the ability to negotiate above any basic benefit plan floor that might be legislated.
- Recognize and accommodate the specific circumstances of public sector employers, including their tax status. For example, reform proposals that include employer incentives to encourage continuation of employer-sponsored health care benefits should be mirrored in the public and private sectors.
- Ensure that health care benefits are available through a current or former employer, a government-sponsored program such as Medicare, Medicaid, or the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), and/or a new initiative that would meet the goals outlined here. To ensure coverage of those who need it, NEA would support the creation of a well-funded public plan with comprehensive benefits intended for individuals and for small employers who do not currently offer health care benefits to their employees.
We thank you for your consideration of our views on these very important issues. We look forward to working with your Administration to ensure quality, affordable health care for everyone in America

Normally we don't seem to remember them, at least I don't. Or they are all jumbled up and crazy. This one was different.
OK. Nobody psychoanalyses me, unless they say only nice stuff, ok?. ^_^ I know I am sometimes a bit crazy already ^_^
So. One morning a week or two ago my alarm went off like it usually does.
But this time it was different as it woke me from a really consistent, somehow more real, dream that seemed to have gone on all night.
I fumbled the alarm off and realised I felt pretty dopey and I was really chilled and still half in the dream. I got myself ready for work and I still felt really chilled and a bit weird as I set off. I wrapped up extra warm but still felt cold.
I had two songs running through my head from when i woke up, one Abba and one, maybe a shanty or folk song that mentioned 1843 or something. Like a sea shanty or gold prospector's song.
I figure I know where I got the Abba song I had watched the movie Mama Mia again a day or so before..
I wrote most of the details of the dream here about 8 hours after I woke and it was still really vivid, even if some of the details faded. I still have these scenes and flashes in my memory. It had seemed to go on for a really long time without the normal flitting all over stuff.
From details I remember of the dream I think the dream must probably have been set in Europe, in maybe the early to mid 19th century. Clothes, Locations, Transport and stuff I just knew in the dream.
I remember taking lots of journeys in stage coaches and carriages.
I remember seeing some sort of 'steam leviathan' was what I thought of it as in the dream. It had one front wheel and could carry people, or tow a carriage with them maybe? It was on a city or town street I think. I didn't get to ride in it but I saw it. I was looking at the front of it and slightly to the left side of it and it was bearing or turning right. I can't remember what colours it was painted.
At some point I remember speaking to someone in French, I was joining these people for a journey, I think and I just came out with greetings and chat in French. It seemed authentic to me at the time from what French I do know, but I guess it could have been nonsense, I remember a tiny concern my accent was good enough to pass without raising suspicion- but I think I mostly generally spoke English.
There seemed to be lots of travelling and intrigue and sneaking about in different outfits or disguises. Maybe doing something clandestine. I remember at one point, maybe even more than once, travelling dressed as a young man in something a bit like a simpler more tired version of what a regency dandy or maybe a Victorian gentleman might have worn.
Everything seemed a bit grubby and worn, buildings and clothes. Sometimes paths or the ground was just plain muddy, with grass maybe. Sometimes stones had been laid. None of the clothes looked properly ironed/pressed or even properly clean sometimes, the seams looked poor, puffy maybe?.
I remember in a conversation talking over some possibly cold war or maybe hostile relations with the French. I remember some other conversation about some group, communitarians? communists, communards something like that.
It was definitely in colour because I remember having to quickly disguise myself at some place that seemed like a cross between a country fayre and a farm yard, with big dilapidated looking wooden barn type buildings and canvas marquees.
There were these dancers maybe? People in uniform? costumes at any rate, with patriotic colours. Men and women. The dresses were concentric circles of red white and blue cotton sewn together, big ones of white and narrower of the colours. And there were coloured ribbons ties on the costumes and hats, maybe rosettes. I remember getting one of the outfits and putting on one of those dresses as a disguise to change my look. I think someone had it ready and gave it to me, maybe because I was followed? Then wandering out again in this costume hoping none of the others dressed like that said I was an imposter.There might have been bunting in places.
They reminded me a bit of English Morris dancers or old fashioned Greek soldiers' uniforms, but there were definitely women also.
I also remember seeing this carved painted wooden thing with representations of two women on it. It was mounted in a building. Maybe an inn or hostelry?
I remember two fit slim, taller than me, older women seemed to be very much in charge there, maybe giving me instructions, or advice and help?.
The steam engine didn't seem to make sense to me so I googled it along with other stuff here is what I found:
Nicolas Cugnot on 23rd October 1769 demonstrated a self propelled three-wheeled vehicle in France primarily for towing artillery. Richard Trevithick (1771-1833) built the first self-moving engine in England. But I didn't know any of that till I googled it. If I were asked I would have placed steam powered vehicles later than that.
As far as fashion goes the 'regency period is roughly between 1795 and 1837.
Also French revolutionary wars with other European powers were 1792 until 1802, Napoleonic wars were from 1803 to 1815.
The US Civil war was 1861–1865.
The name Leviathan seems to be applied to anything huge and powerful, like the 'Great Eastern' ship or maybe Jupiter type steam engines in the US, but I get swamped by reference to steam punk when I check for the words, so couldn't really find out much..
The S.S. Great Britain launched July 19 1843 by I. K. Brunel is the first of the large iron-hulled screw-propeller steamships that will dominate the transatlantic trade.
Alexander Bain a lieutenant in the Royal Navy patented a sort of primitive fax machine in 1843 would you believe and congress was authorising the first telegraph line between Washington DC and Baltimore . The typewriter was patented. I half expected ^_^ to find someone patented the TV but I didn't, that had to wait till the 1930s. Not that I dreamed about fax machines, just that stuff seems to have been thought of so much earlier than seemed likely. Including Steam powered vehicles.
Google has various social reformers in the early 19th century founding rational and philanthropic communities based on common ownership. Robert Owen, founded New Harmony in Indiana, 1825, and Charles Fourier, whose followers organized other settlements in the US such as Brook Farm from1841 to 47. There were Communards in the 1871 Paris (France) Commune.
There was so much upheaval in parts of Europe and Latin America in 1848 it is known as the year of revolutions.
I am not really making out this is anything more than my having a lively interest in lots of things and maybe a good imagination.
I guess my subconscious must soak up way more than I thought. Stuff that is not how I intuitively thought it was. Does anyone else have odd dreams like this?
Still, there is this weird freaky little thought hiding right in the back of my mind. what if I hadn't had the alarm set?

Marissa Mayer will mix Yahoo, motherhood
Can Marissa Mayer have it all?
Yahoo's newly anointed CEO, 37, who is expecting her first child in October, personifies the high-wire, work-family balancing act that continues to confront women, a dilemma recently back on the national stage with the Atlantic magazine's provocative cover story: "Why women still can't have it all."
"I applaud her! But she makes my point," Princeton Professor Anne-Marie Slaughter, the article's author, tweeted about Mayer. "She's superhuman, rich and in charge."
Mayer's surprise appointment as CEO of the troubled Internet giant was widely hailed when it was announced Monday, with most tech insiders praising her as the brains behind some of Google's best products. But her later disclosure that she was six months pregnant was equally surprising to many, given the difficulties she is sure to face in the boardroom. Some wondered how she would juggle the responsibilities that come with both her new roles.
Others, though, questioned whether Mayer's pregnancy - which in few short hours had been parsed, blogged and dissected from the Internet to the airwaves - was anyone's business but hers and her husband's.
"I'm mortified at the attention it's getting," said Wade Randlett, a Democratic activist and entrepreneur. "It's really socially retro. Would Yahoo rather have a 55-year-old MBA tool or Marissa Mayer? Getting her is the coup of the year - or maybe the decade, given what kind of shape Yahoo is in."
Dispute on relevancy
But shareholder advocates said Mayer's pregnancy is relevant, given the time needed to lead a company as big and complex as Yahoo.
"Once you become the CEO of a public company you relinquish the right to privacy when it comes to health issues," said Nell Minow, co-owner and board member of GMI Ratings, an independent research firm specializing in corporate governance. "The board of directors has got to make sure she keeps them informed of any issue that could affect her ability to do the job."
While potential employers cannot discriminate against pregnant candidates, Mayer disclosed her condition to the Yahoo board in June during the interview process. "They showed their evolved thinking" by not batting an eye, she told Fortune magazine.
"I applaud the Yahoo board for not letting that be an issue," venture capitalist Heidi Roizen wrote in an e-mail. "I delivered two children while I was CEO of T/Maker, albeit a vastly smaller company than Yahoo, but many of the challenges CEOs face are similar regardless of the size of the company."
Bullish - for now
Yahoo's shareholders, furious that the stock has lost half its value in four years, seem bullish on Mayer, at least for the time being. Activist investor Dan Loeb, whose almost 6 percent stake in Yahoo gave him the clout to oust previous CEO Scott Thompson over his fudged resume - and snagged Loeb a seat on the board in May - simply wrote "!!!!" on a Facebook post linking to a story about Mayer's new gig. But it was widely reported that Loeb championed the superstar ex-Googler as someone who could swoop in and overhaul Yahoo, which desperately needs help.
Experts said taking some time off early in a job tenure shouldn't put the kibosh on a candidate. "It's not really relevant in the long term," said Susan Magley, president of search firm Magley & Associates.
"I see it as a nonissue," agreed Cindy Burns, national director of the National Association of Professional Women.
For that matter, while Mayer may not maintain her typical 90-hour workweek when her son is born in early October, she's likely to stay closely tied to the executive suite.
"My maternity leave will be a few weeks long, and I'll work through it," she told Fortune.
The glass cliff
As the fifth person to lead Yahoo in the past year, Mayer is clearly taking on a daunting job. That's led some to raise the theory of "the glass cliff" - the idea that struggling companies sometimes pick women for leadership roles when the odds are stacked against them, increasing the chances that they'll fall short.
For many observers, the most socially relevant point about Mayer is that she's joining such a small club. There's only one other female CEO leading a major company in Silicon Valley - Hewlett-Packard's Meg Whitman. Including Yahoo, only 20 Fortune 500 companies are led by women.
"With 96 percent of (CEO) positions still held by men, we look to additional progress in tapping talented women for top leadership and hope that, soon, there will no longer be a need to count them," Ilene Lang, CEO of Catalyst, a nonprofit focused on women's professional opportunities, said in a statement.
Mayer's youth and engineering chops make her a role model, observers said.
She and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg "will be twin towers for hopefully quite some time," activist Randlett said. "I have three daughters, and I want them to believe they can have a great family, a great career, go into math, science, hold elected office or study art history. This is great for every parent with young daughters who wants that reinforcement of a great example you can point to."

Kia loans quintuplet family a Sedona
* Russians miss out on free car * Kia loans them a Sedona for free instead * Family keeps car until it heads home...
Kia has loaned the parents of quintuplets born in the UK last November a Sedona MPV for the remainder of their stay in the UK.
The car maker runs a scheme offering discounts on new cars to parents of multiple births, extending to a free new car for anyone who gives birth to quintuplets.
However, these offers are only eligible to UK residents and, although they were born in Britain, the quintuplets and their parents are Russian nationals.
Nevertheless, Kia has now arranged a loan of a Sedona for Dmitry and Varkara Artamkin and their five daughters, Elizaveta, Alexandra, Nadezhda, Tatiana and Varvara.
The loan of the car was initially delayed while Kia overcame insurance issues with lending a car to Russian nationals. However, the family is now entitled to drive the car until all five children are given medical clearance to return home.

I know that for a square complex matrix $A\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ there exist matrices $O$ and $P$ in $\mathbb{C}^{n\times n}$ with $O$ unitary and $P$ hermitian positive semidefinite such that $A=OP$. The proof starts with applying the spectral theorem to the matrix $AA^*$.
Now I read that similarly for $A\in \mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$, $A=OP$ with $O\in\mathbb{C}^{n\times m}$, $P\in\mathbb{C}^{m\times m}$, $P$ hermitian positive semidefinite and $O$ isometric, if $m<n$. How can this be proved?

A good number of years ago, Dan Reed started selling small utility trailers from what was supposed to be his used truck lot. Those that dropped by would find Dan contemplating how well this new venture was going to work. As it turns out, it worked extremely well.
Reed's Trailer Sales started with a few small utility trailers and has grown to a multi million-dollar inventory that includes RV Travel Trailers, Fifth Wheels, Toy Haulers and the largest selection of utility trailers in Northern California.
The success of Reed's Trailer Sales isn't entirely based on their huge selection of quality trailers. Dan credits the people that work with him and their dedication to customer service for helping to grow a small selection of utility trailers into a multi-million dollar inventory spread out over 6-acres.
In the old days, Dan would greet his customers with a charming smile and local hospitality. Things haven't changed. In fact, every one of the people working at Reed's Trailer Sales have that same local feel and personally enjoy the RV lifestyle with friends and family. It's what makes their customers comfortable and what keeps them coming back, for service, parts and an occasional conversation about the weather.
This is a company that has a passion for RV Trailers. Strike up a conversation with one of the sales reps and the chances are you'll hear a good story about a recent adventure into the back woods, or the high desert, or a favorite campsite. When you talk with a sales representative at Reed's Trailer Sales you're not being sold a trailer, you're being introduced to a lifestyle. Their goal is to help you find the right trailer.
Just about every trailer dealer would like you to believe they have the best, but according to the trade publications, not every trailer qualifies for the title. When Dan started building his inventory he went looking for the best. He did his shopping so that you would find quality in every unit he sells, from the country's #1 selling Montana and #2 selling Cougar fifth wheel and travel trailers to California's #1 selling Toy Hauler, Weekend Warrior.
If you are a veteran or if you are new to the RV lifestyle and want to enjoy the comforts of home while exploring new adventures, Reed's Trailer Sales invites you to drop in and talk about a trailer, or even the weather.

Flocking from near and far, both virgin and veteran women alike christened Snow Summit during the opening day of Snowboarder Magazine's 6th annual Ms. Superpark presented by Gatorade. A place of many firsts, Snow Summit has been long recognized for its commitment to monumental park features and progression since snowboarding's dark ages. Borrowing park staff from sister resort Bear Mountain, the men transformed the typical ski zone paradise into a pleasure playground for the ladies. With more egg's on hill than a farmhouse, the female population got straight to sending it with little hesitation. Headed by notable names including Hana Beaman, Bryn Valaika, Anne Flore Marxer, Janna Meyen Weatherby, Jenny Jones, Desiree Melancon, Raewyn Reid, Leanne Pelosi and Natazka Zurek, this ain't no pussy party.
Laid out for the ladies are two pristine hips, a generous sized channel gap, a step down and a downrail. Wasting no time, women hit the gas on the hip with little conscious thought about how far into the flats they were about to go. Blasting large and bruising parts was commonplace for a contingent of the crew, yet no one needed ski patrol to carry their carcass at the end of the day. Prevailing during the first hip session was Bryn Valaika and her unquestionably proper method's, Jess Kimura's tuck knee's and other fetching maneuvers by Laura Hadar, Hana Beaman, Anne Flore Marxer and Nirvana Ortanez. Also impressive was Desiree, who with wind in her absent locks continued to bring a bald beat-down to the hip for hours.
With the women getting comfortable, look for babes to push past their boundaries as the week goes on. We can't guarantee what kind of action lay ahead, but considering Jess Kimura pulled off some oversized alley-oop front 3's on the hip while in more physical pain than even imaginable, the future looks promising. Check back for more as the ladies let down their hair and let loose. Sans Desiree of course.

My favorite part of the story was when Fancy Nancy went to the art store. I liked this part because I love to do art. This book reminds me of when I had to do a long book report. I don't like doing book reports. I was worried for Fancy Nancy because I was afraid she wouldn't have enough time to write her book report. This is one book in the series of Fancy Nancy books.
I reccomend this book to girls who like Fancy Nancy stories. If you like to read funny stories about girls your age, you will love this book!

Regents Weigh In: Keep the VLA NameSOCORRO, N.M. November 22, 2011 – The New Mexico Tech Board of Regents approved a resolution urging the National Radio Astronomy Observatory to keep the name Very Large Array.
The Board met in regular session Monday, Nov. 21, in Albuquerque. Board member Jerry Armijo, a native of Socorro, introduced the resolution and said that, "In my opinion, it's a bad idea [to change the name]. The VLA is a very unique and well-established name."
The NRAO has pumped millions of dollars into a massive upgrade, which is now called the Enhanced VLA. Vice President of Research Dr. Van Romero said NRAO director suggested changing the name because the new instrument hardly resembles the original telescope installation.
Romero said "Very Large Array" is the second-most searched astronomy facility on the Internet, after the Hubble Space Telescope.
Armijo said the general sense in the Socorro community is that the VLA should keep its name. He also said he hopes the City and County both adopt similar resolutions.
In other news from the meeting:
- Tech President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez reported on the progress to create a new funding formula for higher education in the state of New Mexico. He said the new formula incorporates a matrix that accounts for the level of school, including associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctorate. He said the formula is moving away from headcounts as an important variable and leaning toward goals and outcomes. Tech will benefit because the areas of science, technology, engineering and math are valued higher than liberal arts. "I'm not a big fan of the new formula, but I am a big fan of its objective," Lopez said. "We didn't achieve simplicity. It's still a complex formula. But we are developing an adequate allocation for our mission."
- The Board learned about seven professors who are taking sabbatical either this year or during the 2012-13 year:
- Dr. Paul Fuierer of Mechanical Engineering will be doing research at the University of Bayreuth in Germany during the 2012-2013 school year.
- Dr. Bixiang Wang of the Math Department will be doing research and lecturing at the University of South Florida, the University of Minnesota and other schools.
- Dr. Ashok Ghosh of the Mechanical Engineering Department will spend the spring 2012 semester launching a company along with the university to market and develop a patented water desalinization system.
- Dr. Dongwan Shin of the Computer Science and Engineering Department is currently on sabbatical. He is working with a colleague at Arizona State University on privacy controls for online social networks.
- Dr. Diedre Hirschfeld of the Materials Engineering Department is on sabbatical for the 2012-12 year. She is working with Sandia National Laboratory to develop tamper-indication markings using pulsed laser irradiation.
- Dr. Michelle Creech-Eakman of the Physics Department and the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer is on sabbatical in Socorro. She is examining interferometric data from the Keck Observatory, developing a exoplanet instrument for the 2.4-meter telescope and laying the groundwork for the operational phase of the interferometer.
- Dr. Ali El-Osery of the Electrical Engineering Department will spend 2012 on sabbatical. With Applied Technology Associates, he is developing a plan to fund more graduate students. With the University of New Mexico, he is working on a structural health monitoring system and exploring future collaboration opportunities.
- Lopez announced that the Bureau of Geology has aborted its first attempt to hire a new director. Interim director Greer Price said the position is being advertised again and he hopes to have a new director in place by the summer of 2012.
- Romero told the board that Tech is spearheading a coalition of traditional mining schools to lobby Congress for research funding. He said that last year only 60 degrees were awarded in the entire nation in mining engineering (or mineral engineering, as the degree is called at Tech). Romero said he is tracking two bills that are making their way through committees in Congress. Mining industries have been filling research positions with engineers from other disciplines, such as civil or mechanical engineering, Romero said. Additional federal funding for research professors would create new opportunities for students interested in mining, he said.
- Vice President of Research Lonnie Marquez reported that a campus committee is reviewing proposals from health insurance providers. The university is likely to switch from HCH Administration's self-insured plan to a fully-insured plan from a different provider. Due to claims exceeding revenues, Tech will have to raise rates by 20 percent if it stays with HCH. Marquez said the cost to employees will still increase if Tech switches plans, but he hopes to minimize the rate hike. The committee is trying to find a plan that offers the same level of health coverage with the lowest possible rate hike.
- Marquez presented the financial analysis for October 2011, stating that revenues and expenditures are within budget.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
Post-season accolades continue to make their way to Matador Field as infielder Ryan Pineda and second baseman T.S. Reed were named to Ping! Baseball's All-Freshman Team.
The two were chosen out of approximately 9,000 student-athletes to join the prestigious list of award winners. Nearly 100 players from across the country were recognized for their performances last season, collection of talent that represents the top 1% of college baseball players today.
Pineda hit .325 and drove in 32 RBI last season for Head Coach Steve Rousey, numbers that earned him both Big West Freshman of the Year and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American honors.
He led the team in home runs and doubles with six and 17 respectively, and his 62 hits was the third-highest total amongst all Matadors last season.
Like Pineda, Reed also earned All-Big West honors last season for his solid, all-around performance both at the plate and on the field. Reed started in 44 of the 52 games he played in, hit .311, and collected 27 RBI in his inaugural season with the Matadors.
Reed's talents were not just limited to the plate, as he posed a constant threat to opposing pitchers once he reached base. Responsible for almost one-half of the team's total stolen bases last season, his 16 steals were the tenth-highest collection of bases within the Big West.

Seniors Wes Chamblee and Matt Scheller have been named the North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Sprints/Hurdles and Field Athletes of the Week.
Scheller (left) set a new Rose-Hulman Twilight Invitational meet record on Friday evening in the hammer throw with a winning mark of 50.54 meters (165 feet, 10 inches). He added another first place finish in the shot put with a mark of 14.41 meters (47 feet, 3.50 inches). Scheller picked up his third top-10 finish by finishing ninth in the javelin throw with a mark of 43.62 meters (143 feet, 1 inch).
Chamblee won the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.48 despite racing out of one of the slower heats. He was also part of the Little Giants' second place 1600-meter relay team that posted a season-best time of 3:17.88. Chamblee has been recovering from a knee injury he suffered in the fall while playing football for Wabash.

If I have to hear "Happy" one more time, I am going to actively defenestrate someone. It's been played at every wedding I've been to this summer and I've heard it done as a jazz cover (nice) and then also once as a rock thing? (weird). But now Weird Al has done a parody of the song and I must grudgingly admit that it's pretty awesome.
Detailing every way in which one can be tacky in this day and age (glitter crocs, saying YOLO, glitter crocs), Weird Al and his friends Margaret Cho, Aisha Tyler, Eric Stonestreet, Jack Black and Kristen Schaal dance their way through some kind of abandoned building while wearing groovy clothes that will likely give you a seizure. It's Weird Al being Weird Al and it takes me back to eighth grade when I thought there was no cooler song than "Amish Paradise." Actually, there still isn't.
Check out the video for "Tacky" on Nerdist. (Unfortunately, embeds of the video are not currently functioning.)
