ABHES encourages continuing education and training opportunities for graduates of its accredited institutions and programs. The importance of establishing fair and equitable transfer of credit policies cannot be understated. A variety of transfer of credit policies exist and it is essential institutions have a well-defined policy and process for evaluating credits for comparability.
ABHES' policy on transfer of credit is described in I.B.6. of the Accreditation Manual as follows:
An institution or program may accept credits earned at another institution accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDOE) or the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) to satisfy specific requirements for completion of a program. The institution or program must demonstrate that it has evaluated the coursework accepted for transfer and the basis for a conclusion that it is equivalent to the course work for which it substitutes and meets all ABHES requirements, including competency achievement.
As is provided elsewhere in this manual, programs and institutions must clearly state their transfer of credit policies, and they are encouraged to accept transfer credits as a means to promote academic mobility and to avoid requiring students to unnecessarily repeat equivalent, prior coursework.

Last, uh, July - I hit a cool cyclocross event, practically in my backyard - held at Saint Edward State Park. This 'cross event focused on getting more women out there racing cyclocross, complete with clinics and other info sessions. The racing action itself for women racers, though men allowed to compete in a few non-timed events - if I remember correctly - been a few months now.
Washington Women of Cyclocross, WAWCX for short, hosted the gig. Kari Studley, who I know through the Evergreen Washington Student League, ran and promoted the shindig, along with Lisa Miller and other volunteers. Oh yeah, Kari is also a single-speed 'cross world champion, along with being a national champion. So I guess she knows a thing or two about 'cross.
I buzzed my 29er over, complete with Nikon in tow, thinking I'd snap a few pics and head home. Wound up staying for the whole shindig - great crowd, good racing, great event - and the first of its kind in the area. I can imagine this getting pretty big in the years ahead. One thing bike racing needs is more women involved and events like are a great concept.
Few of the many pics I grabbed for the day...
Evan, super fast high school kid, gives is a go during one of the men's "fun" events.
Two competitors in action from the kid's race. Along with more women, attracting more kids to bike racing should be on everyone's agenda.
Nice course setup, mostly grass, here sampled by one of the many women racers in attendance.
Round 'N' Round they go, where they fall - nobody knows. Entertaining circle of death feature included at no extra charge.
This must be the place.
Warm temps and sunny skies greeted everyone.
Sprint for the finish.
Off they go! Awesome to see the many women who raced the event, experienced and beginners alike.
Some single track added to the mix. Well done course layout.
Women racers always seem to have a smile on their face.
One of the many podium celebrations, complete with Kids 'N' Babies. Nice.
Future champion.
Caution: You may end up digging 'cross.
You gotta be fast to rock the pink lightening bolts.
The really fast girls in action.
Course even featured a short sand section, someone here putting the power down.
These girls will kick your ass. No doubt.
The seminary building made for a cool 'cross barrier backdrop, no?
Festive pit area.
Kari, promoted and ran the event, then crushed the single-speed race. That would be multi-tasking.
Mr. Cyclocross rocks on.
It ain't over 'til you get the high five from Mr. Cyclocross.
At the end of the day, super cool race - well run, great turn out, fun course, perfect weather - fantastic day. Here in the 'cross crazy Seattle area, perfect demographics for this kind of women focused event.
Kudos to WAWCX for putting this on. See you next year...

Internationally acclaimed scientist Dr. Harry B. Gray of Caltech will discuss his research into solar power during a lecture at Hope College on Thursday, April 2, at 7 p.m. in the DeWitt Center main theatre.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Gray, who is the Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry and the Founding Director of the Beckman Institute at the California Institute of Technology, will present the address "Powering the Planet with Solar Fuel." The lecture will be a non-technical talk intended for a general audience.
Gray will discuss his research team's work to develop an efficient, economical way to store solar energy in chemical fuels that could be used after dark or on cloudy days.
"Green plants use this strategy, so my lab and others are trying to design solar-driven molecular machines that are even more efficient than photosynthesis," he said. "Our goal is to split water into hydrogen, a storable fuel, and oxygen. We have made great progress of late, using inexpensive, abundant materials.
Gray's contributions to chemistry include more than 700 papers and 17 books. Major awards that he has received include the National Medal of Science from President Ronald Reagan (1986); the Linderstrom-Lang Prize (Denmark, 1991); the Gibbs Medal (1994); the Harvey Prize (Israel, 2000); the National Academy of Sciences Award in Chemical Sciences (2003); the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Chemistry (2004); the Wolf Prize in Chemistry (Israel, 2004); the City of Florence Prize in Molecular Sciences (Italy, 2006); six national awards from the American Chemical Society, including the Priestley Medal (1991); and 16 honorary doctorates. He was California Scientist of the Year in 1988.
He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society, and a foreign member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society of Great Britain and the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy). He has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation since 1994.
Gray completed his doctorate in Northwestern University in 1960, and after a postdoctoral year at the University of Copenhagen joined the chemistry faculty Columbia University. He moved to Caltech in 1966.
His main research interests center on inorganic spectroscopy, photochemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, with emphasis on understanding electron transfer in proteins.
Gray's address at Hope is co-sponsored by multiple programs at the college, including the department of chemistry, the department of geological and environmental sciences, the Environmental Issues student organization, the environmental studies program and the Hope College Sustainability Task Force.
While on campus, Gray will also speak through the weekly seminar series coordinated by the college's department of chemistry. He will present "Electron Flow through Iron and Copper Proteins" on Friday, April 4, at 4 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium as the series' annual Neckers Lecture.
The James and Jeanette Neckers Lectureship and Student Assistance Fund through which Gray will be speaking on April 4 was established in 1984 by Dr. James W. and Jeanette Hoffman Neckers, members of the college's Class of 1923, to support annual lectureships in chemistry. Through additional gifts from Dr. Neckers, the fund was expanded to include student summer research stipends and student scholarships.
James Neckers was chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale for 37 of his 40 years at the university. Under his leadership, the department grew from a three-year offering in chemistry to granting the doctorate; the faculty grew from three to 23. Jeanette Neckers died on June 10, 1992, and James Neckers died on May 8, 2004.
The DeWitt Center is located at 141 E. 12th St., facing Columbia Avenue at 12th Street. The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

Morales: Sad, but no tragedy
Before putting the Kendry Morales ordeal to bed, a few words of quiet reflection might be in order.
As Jered Weaver so aptly put it, this was a "freak accident." It could have happened to anybody, but it happened to Morales, at the strangest of times. A moment of spontaenous celebration by the Angels turned into something unfathomable.
Moments after delivering one of the great efforts of his career, Morales was being carried off the field, wondering how severely his left leg was injured.
It turns out it was a fracture of the lower leg, and he'll be undergoing surgery on Sunday. Morales will be out for a long time. The Angels and their fans will miss him a great deal. But he will be back.
This is something we need to keep in mind. Morales will be back. Angels fans understand the distinction after what we all went through last season.
It's possible Morales, given the advanced nature of modern medicine and training methods, will be as good as ever when he returns to the Angels' lineup. He is young and strong and resilient. We know how tough he is. The fact he is here is testimony enough. You don't make the boat trip over from Cuba without being tough, physically and mentally.
In any case, he will be back. The Angels might not win a fourth straight AL West title, and that will make a lot of people angry. But they'll rebound, rebuild, add pieces and touches if that's the case. They'll be just fine. They'll continue to sell tickets and play exciting baseball, and Morales will be part of it.
I wish I could tell you exactly what happened, what I saw, but I was staring into this laptop when Morales slipped and went down on home plate in that crowd of teammates. I was writing my fourth or fifth sublede for my game story, hitting the send button right about the time he lost his balance and fell, damaging that left leg.
I've been told by those closer that it was a "crazy scene," something nobody could have imagined. This just doesn't happen, but it happened, and it's a shame.
But this is not a tragedy.
This is misfortune.
What happened last season was a tragedy.
We need to keep this in mind as we move forward.
The Angels will have a new hitter behind Torii Hunter, when his injured hand allows him to return to the lineup. They'll have a new first baseman – maybe three or four, who knows? The game will go on, and so will the Angels.
I feel for Kendry. I happen to have a great deal of respect for him, as an athlete and a person. He has done amazing things in his young life, and he will do many more amazing things.
This will pass. – Lyle Spencer
4 Comments
Yeah, we get it, Lyle — it's no tragedy and it doesn't even come close to what the club and fans experienced a year ago. But who is comparing what happened to Morales to the horror of 2009? Is that what you've been hearing? Or are you just necessarily trying to play Dr. Phil?
Hey, what happened to Morales sucks and it sucks mainly because it was preventable. How about a column on the carelessness of celebratory athletes after a walk-off? This was an accident waiting to happen, and per the Angels' long history of weird injuries and fatalities (the Angels Curse didn't die with a championship, obviously), we were the unfortunate ones to see the first major incident of such home plate enthusiasm.
Go Halos!
Spencer's gotta go! As a voice from within the franchise, you can't right things like "The Angels might not win a fourth straight AL West title…" after losing one, albeit a highly valuable, player!
Typo alert: Meant "unnecessarily" in my entry above. Thanks. P.S. Agree with you, haloinsd.
angeldod, I don't call people names. So how would I say bully without directly applying it to you? Mmm, perhaps I'll just go on then. Just so you know: all Angel fans "may" not agree with your esteemed know-it-allness. The summer "may" be cold at times. Lady Gaga "may" lose a few fans this year and the Angels "may" not win the West. Why on this beautiful planet Earth would you call for someone to lose their job because they simply said something that happens to be true? The Angels "may" not win the West. However, I am as big an Angel fan you will find in the land of Yankees and Mets, and frankly, I get real tired of homer voices on the radio (the two Michaels on the radio especially), TV and print. I think Lyle Spencer is one of the better writing minds out there. I'm sure he's overworked, like most folks in the beleaguered media these days, but he's good. I could care less if he's an Angel fan. He's got great access and is very prolific. I predict he'll be around this Fall, when you "may" be calling me for World Series tickets!

The smoke, mirrors, and black magic of coffee marketing
Posted by TheShot on 31 Jul 2006 | Tagged as: Consumer Trends, Starbucks
Today a press release from Eight O'Clock Coffee announced a new marketing campaign for the all-but-forgotten brand: Eight O'Clock(R) Coffee "Gets Real" about Coffee in New Advertising Campaign; Nearly 150 Year Old Company Announces Results of Consumer Taste Test. The new marketing campaign takes aim squarely at the Starbucks set — on a mission to convince Starbucks lovers that they're paying a lot more for a brand name of arguably lesser quality.
Eight O'Clock is even playing the coffee snob card — having prepared a commercial TV spot featuring an avid coffee drinker, with the scientific name of "Java Snobicus," who goes to great lengths to find the perfect cup of gourmet coffee. Eight O'Clock is even reaching for that pathetic marketing agency nod towards hip modernity: "your product will even have its own blog".
This press release also coincides with the announcement of a study showing that consumers prefer Eight O'Clock to Starbucks in a blind taste test. (They don't say "Brand X" anymore, do they?) This is where things get a little interesting, though not unusual. This study, which we otherwise know nothing about, is credited to Tragon Corporation. Who, with the simple research of visiting their Web page, we learn performs "custom market research":
Do you have a product development or marketing challenge? We've helped businesses in diverse industries meet their challenges and successfully launch or reintroduce products, from sportswear to high technology equipment, food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and homecare. We can do the same for you.
In other words, Eight O'Clock Coffee came to Tragon with a problem and a cashier's check. In response, Tragon designed a blind taste test they could use as part of a campaign they helped develop to reintroduce an otherwise forgetten brand.
It's no wonder why we know nothing about this 2006 study. Apparently Tragon has been fine-tuning the methods for this study for years — given their research cited on the Eight O'Clock corporate Web site from 2004 that showed Starbucks clearly leading the Eight O'Clock brand in blind taste tests of the "strong" coffee segment: Join Eight O'Clock Coffee's Unique and Valued Position in the Coffee Marketplace! (pdf file).
The Coffee Wars are getting more interesting all the time.
1 Comment »
One Response to "The smoke, mirrors, and black magic of coffee marketing"
[…] The plan also includes the launch of a series of podcasts about coffee on its Web site — with the first show scheduled to "air" Tuesday, Sept. 5th. Yes, Starbucks is now following the lead of the mindless marketing lemmings at Eight O' Clock Coffee and other unnotables for buying the blog/podcast hype whole hog. If only enough mainstream consumers were using the Web in 1996, these blindly trend-following product marketing strategies would have given us the same kind of press releases — but instead announcing obligatory 3-D Web sites programmed in VRML. […]

this is my first post. I'm using commons net 2.2 in a osgi project and I noted that invoking storeFile method it seems not giving exception when ftp transfer falis.
I'm sure it fails because I'm testing the application on a full disk ftp server, so the files are no uploaded to it. Did someone note the same problem?
Thank you all

Agata glass was made by Joseph Locke of the New England Glass Company of Cambridge, Massachusetts, after 1885. A metallic stain was applied to New England Peachblow, which the company called Wild Rose, and the mottled design characteristic of agata appeared. Most agata glassware is shaded pink to rose or rose to white, with mottled spots similar to lusterware. There are a few known items made of opaque green with the mottled finish.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 14, No. 2 Fall 1987 George J. Staubus UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY THE DARK AGES OF COST ACCOUNTING: THE ROLE OF MISCUES IN THE LITERATURE Abstract: The conceptual and theoretical development of cost ac-counting has been at a standstill for several decades, despite its poor state and drastic changes in its environment. The concept of cost itself and related concepts are both unclear and unrelated to relevant concepts in other areas of economics, and several critical issues remain unresolved. Part of the blame for this state is laid at the door of those writers and interpreters of several key pieces of literature, or sets of writings on specific topics. The works involved in the "miscues" are J. M. Clark's emphasis on different costs for different purposes in his Studies in the Economics of Overhead Costs; Paton and Littleton's difficulties in clarifying the cost concept; the American Institute of Accountants' definition of depreciation accounting as systematic and rational allocation; the direct/variable costing lit-erature; and the rejection of allocation. An effort is made to show how each of those miscues harmed the cause of cost accounting. Part I: Issues "We may start with the general proposition that the ter-minology of costs is in a state of much confusion . . . . " [Clark, 1923, p. 175]. The persistence of that state to this date must be an outcome beyond Clark's worst fears, but that outcome appears to be of no concern to the accounting profession. Until the mid-1980s, it was rare to see or hear expressions of dis-satisfaction by accountants regarding the early twentieth cen-tury style of product cost accounting that is prevalent, from all indications, in American enterprises and textbooks. Now we see a few signs of life [Hakala, 1985; Hunt et al., 1985; Johnson and Kaplan, 1987; Kaplan, 1986; NAA, 1985; Seed, 1984; and others]. Nevertheless, a report that product cost accounting is emerging from the dark ages of its conceptual and theoretical development would be premature. In this paper, I show why I consider the conceptual and theoretical development of cost accounting to have been in the dark ages for several decades, then go on to explore the thesis that the writing and interpretation of several especially

My ISP says I am signed up for 15 Mbps service (DSL). An on-line test I just took says I get about 11 Mbps download.
Another ISP (my cable TV provider) keeps mailing me an offer of 100 Mbps for a slightly lower price.
I'm tempted. But then I wondered: Maybe ~11 Mbps is about the best I can hope for with a SAM460ex?

- Jenny
So often Jenny, who speaks of herself in the third person from time to time, instructs all of you to make a certain dish, but maybe only if you have ingredient X laying around, or you have a hankering for protein Y.
Now, what I am telling you, is to race to the farmer's market, buy some pears, then go home, tell your family and friends not to bother you or get in your way in any form during the roughly 40 minutes it takes to put together one of the most delicious things you're going to eat this fall. (Unless they are offering to peel pears.)
I can't quite remember how I came across Pear Soup with Pancetta and Blue Cheese, but I believe it was during a search for something to double for the neighbors. That involved a fair amount of the aforementioned pear peeling, but my husband agreed to do so, as long as I allowed him to play Johnny Cash while he did it.
Get that pancetta going. Someone is going to ask me if you can skip that to make this dish vegetarian. You can. But that little boost your onions will get from sautéing in that bit of fat is really good. Put the rest of your vegetables in there, and later, your stock, which hopefully is homemade. (I made mine with chicken necks during that freak October snowstorm, and it was indeed mildly flavored.)
Have you noticed how all your simmering steps are just a few minutes each? You love that right?
While the stock has this soup take form, make a salad, or send someone out for nice crusty bread. I pureed it all up with my immersion blender, which is truly the greatest kitchen invention ever -- except for parchment paper, whisks, and maybe the zester that guy made in his garage. Top with the best blue cheese you can find.
This soup has all the elements of a late fall dinner: it is creamy, warming, tastes of fruit but is not fruity, and bats it smoky eyes as a tangy finish on the spoon.
Plan to eat it all week.
Pear Soup with Pancetta and Blue Cheese by fiveandspice
Serves 4 - 6
5 ounces pancetta, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon butter
1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/2 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes (around 1/2 inch)
1 medium-small carrot, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon maple syrup
5 pears - I used bartlett - peeled, cored, and cut into 1 inch chunks
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3 cups mildly flavored vegetable or chicken broth
1/2 cup creme fraiche
crumbled blue cheese (a creamy, potent raw milk one is best for serving
salt and ground white pepper to taste
In a large soup pot, fry the pancetta bits until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and put on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
Pour off all but one Tablespoon of the fat in the pot (you don't want to use all of it because then it will overpower the pear), and add in the butter. Heat over medium until foaming. Then, stir in the onion, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until the onion is soft. You basically want the onion to sweat and soften without browning.
Stir in the garlic, potato, and carrot, cover again. Turn the heat to medium and cook another 10 minutes. Then, add in the maple syrup, pear, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, thyme, sage and nutmeg. Cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes to get the pear all coated with the syrup and other flavors.
Add in the broth, bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer and cook, covered, until the potatoes and pears are soft, about 15 minutes.
Blend in batches until smooth. Then return the blended soup to the pot and stir in the creme fraiche. Taste and add salt and white pepper to taste.
Serve with the pancetta bits and blue cheese for sprinkling on top.

UPDATE: This giveaway has concluded and is closed to new entries.Â
Every spring I have the best of intentions of keeping my yard and patio well-weeded. And every spring I do my best to keep up with the little suckers, but because I can't make weeding my full-time job (after all I do have two kiddos to watch after and a little thing called a blog to tend to), the weeds eventually declare victory and I hang my head in defeat.
This spring, however, I decided to get a headstart and try my hand at creating a natural weed killer. With two little kids and two dogs, I don't do petro chemicals in my yard, so making something as non-toxic as possible was a requirement. I played mad scientist and concocted a mixture of vinegar, hot water and dish soap, sprayed it on the little buggers and waited. While it worked to some degree (they shriveled a bit), it was not the miracle herbicide I was hoping for.
Thankfully, right about that time, I was contacted to review an organic weed killer called Nature's Avenger. I was more than happy to give it a try. Nature's Avenger is made with natural citrus oil which gives it a very pleasant scent, is EPA-certified, safe around children and pets, and, I'm pleased to report, it gets the job done! I tried it on a few rogue weeds in my yard and it killed them and quickly too (within a couple hours). While I wouldn't use it all of the time (it's still fun to get my hands dirty now and then), it is nice to have an organic weed-killing alternative for those occasions I don't have hours to spend weeding the yard.
Find a store near you that sells Nature's Avenger or you can buy it online.
If you'd like to try to win a bottle of Nature's Avenger, just leave a comment here AND link to this post on your blog. If you don't have a blog, that's OK. You can still enter to win. The deadline to enter is Friday, June 27. The winner will be chosen using Random.org and notified via email the following day. Please make sure you include a valid email address.

Highlights from Twitter after Rapids announcement is late
The Rapids were expected to announce the signing of a new 22-year-old Argentinian playmaker, billed as a "No. 10," on Monday at 3 p.m. When the deadline passed, the fans took to Twitter and the #RapidsAnnouncementIsLateBecause hashtag began.
There is a bright side to the announcement being late, however. At the suggestion of @Rapids_Examiner, team president Tim Hinchey agreed to donate tickets for the season opening game to a Denver area foster family for every day the announcement is delayed.
Without further ado, here are the hashtag highlights:

Immigration reform may be on horizon
Boosted by the overwhelming support of Hispanics for President Barack Obama on Election Day, activists on both sides of the political divide see an opportunity to reform the nation's immigration laws.
Prominent voices in both parties say immigration was the issue that pushed Hispanic voters away from former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and that coming to the middle on the sticky subject is important to winning their support.
"It's not the main issue with Latinos, but it is the core issue that allows a candidate to either be friendly or unfriendly to the Latino population as a whole," said Lionel Sosa, a San Antonio Republican consultant who has worked on a number of high-profile campaigns, including Arizona Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential bid and the campaigns of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.
Latinos' top issues tend to be things like education, jobs and opportunity, Sosa said.
"If you have a strident, tough immigration policy that seems unfriendly, then it's very hard to get Latinos to listen to you about anything else," he said. "If you're saying that young Latinos who lived here most of their lives ... cannot stay, then you are saying, 'Latino, I don't really want you around.'"
Obama's decision to grant temporary work permits to hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in the country illegally, a program announced this summer called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, helped make up for his broken promise to pass comprehensive immigration reform, Sosa said.
That position was bolstered this week when Lake Research Partners and the Tarrance Group released a poll that found 77 percent of Latino voters support deferred action.
Fifty-seven percent of all voters favor the policy, the poll found.
Sosa joins a chorus of Republicans who say Hispanics tend to side with the GOP on issues like abortion and fiscal responsibility, but are turned off by harsh anti-immigration rhetoric that's perceived as racism.
Conservative pundit Sean Hannity and House Speaker John Boehner last week said it's time for the country to change its immigration laws, at the same time calling for more money to be spent along the border.
As they celebrated Obama's re-election and the news that they'll still be able to apply for work permits under deferred action, young immigrant activists also took credit for giving the president a bump with the Latino electorate.
"We think that immigration, especially dreamers, who are fighting for the Dream Act and fighting for administrative relief, was a big reason for Latino, low propensity voters, to turn out for this election," said Carolina Canizales, a 22-year-old native of Mexico and a University of Texas at San Antonio graduate who has become a national coordinator for the United We Dream Advocacy group.
Romney's harsh immigration rhetoric during the primary — vowing to veto the Dream Act should Congress pass it and saying he would cancel deferred action — and his different but vague stance in the general election — Romney said young immigrants should be allowed to stay but he didn't say under what circumstances — sunk him with Latino voters, Sosa said.
The election results apparently have emboldened Democrats. On Wednesday, Obama predicted an immigration overhaul will happen in his second term.
Not all Republicans are convinced. In a statement this week, House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, downplayed the importance of immigration to Hispanic voters.
"The issues of primary importance to Hispanic voters are the economy and jobs," he said. "The Republican Party needs to make inroads with Hispanic voters by emphasizing our shared interests in job creation and economic growth.
"Hispanics should be treated as the patriotic, values-oriented, and family-minded Americans that they are."
Congressman Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, has been optimistic about immigration reform since before the election, when he said some Republicans told him they'd consider voting for the Dream Act in 2013.
Extremists in both parties have made it difficult to pass immigration reform in the past, but the growing power of the Latino electorate makes it more likely, Cuellar said.
"I was hopeful that after this election that people would see an impact from Hispanics," Cuellar said. "After an election, there's always a window where people talk about doing things together. And we'll have a window between July and let's say next year, 2013, where people will talk about doing things together. But that window will close."
The fact of the matter is, Republicans who are moderate on immigration will have a hard time in party primaries, Sosa said.
The type of tough talk it takes to sway party faithful who turn out for primary balloting can kill a candidate with Latino voters in the general election.
"Right now, we're between a rock and hard place, and the hard place is the extreme right," Sosa said. "The tea party should go back to concentrating on fiscal responsibilities and tearing down the debt, and it should stay away from other issues.
"They started from a good place, but they became too broad and taking on too many other superconservative issues that are unfriendly to the Latino."
The good news for Republicans come in the form of rising Hispanic stars like Texas' Sen.-elect Ted Cruz, who didn't respond to a request for comment, and George P. Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush who's said to be considering a run for land commissioner, Sosa said.
Cruz "is our best hope for turning it around, and it's really primarily up to him in Texas," Sosa said. "If he carries the banner for fair immigration policies, he could be the leader." firstname.lastname@example.com

"Post-truth politics" translates as 'I don't understand why my side is losing, when we are cleverer, to stupid people I don't like"
If that were the case wouldn't the term have found wide usage when Bush won, when Cameron won, etc.
Wouldn't you agree that Trump's brazen lying during the campaign is unprecedented in modern historical memory, especially when considering the fact that it doesn't seem to cost him politically?
To a much lesser degree, Leave also clearly lied during the referendum and it was similarly rewarded politically.
i blame reality tv.
i'm being facetious but it could be a factor, here in the states anyway. bored senseless people plopped in front of their television sets every night blankly staring at episodes of "reality" filled with conflict and mock outrage that are actually anything but real life. viewers can't tell the difference after awhile, TV and politics merge into a dull blur of entertainment. trump's outrageous statements on the campaign trail compete for attention not with that of his opponent but with last night's episode of the kardashians or "big brother". politics becomes "american idol" and the masses vote for what "feels" right.
actually, i have no fucking idea.
"Post Truth" politics IMO means: a politician/political spectrum claims something despite being disproven, keeps claiming those unfactual things even more afterwards. Voters/Supporters of course believe those fabricated "facts" simply bc it's not coming from "the system". The effect highly exacerbated by the social media echo chambers. There are millions of people around basically these days who get their world view from those said echo chambers. See also the pre-emptive "explanations" of lost elections - "the system" has rigged it! Usually you find the "Post Truth" types on the political right/populist - but not exclusively.
This interview
last night on Ch4 seemed to sum up the alt right
Read a few articles recently about the social media echo chamber and its possible effect on politics.
I think on balance Facebook hasn't been good for humanity at all.
(Still on it, of course.)
Αι ψυχαί οσμώνται καθ΄ Άιδην.
I don't think it's coincidential at all that the rise of those populists/right wingers happens (ed) in accordance with the rise of social media, especially FB.
personal sidenote: I run a small business and use FB for this (I don't have a personal profile) - I don't have a problem with that bc a) it in fact helps my buisness and b) creepy FB is only interested to sell their members to advertisers or sell shit to them directly, so why not use them in the same way.
Today's xkcd:
...and today's C&H:
From David Remnick's piece 'Obama Reckons with a Trump Presidency':
"Until recently, religious institutions, academia, and media set out the parameters of acceptable discourse, and it ranged from the unthinkable to the radical to the acceptable to policy," Simas said. "The continuum has changed. Had Donald Trump said the things he said during the campaign eight years ago—about banning Muslims, about Mexicans, about the disabled, about women—his Republican opponents, faith leaders, academia would have denounced him and there would be no way around those voices. Now, through Facebook and Twitter, you can get around them. There is social permission for this kind of discourse. Plus, through the same social media, you can find people who agree with you, who validate these thoughts and opinions. This creates a whole new permission structure, a sense of social affirmation for what was once thought unthinkable. This is a foundational change."
The new media ecosystem "means everything is true and nothing is true," Obama told me later. "An explanation of climate change from a Nobel Prize-winning physicist looks exactly the same on your Facebook page as the denial of climate change by somebody on the Koch brothers' payroll. And the capacity to disseminate misinformation, wild conspiracy theories, to paint the opposition in wildly negative light without any rebuttal—that has accelerated in ways that much more sharply polarize the electorate and make it very difficult to have a common conversation."
What I'm suggesting is that the lens through which people understand politics and politicians is extraordinarily powerful. And Trump understands the new ecosystem, in which facts and truth don't matter. You attract attention, rouse emotions, and then move on. You can surf those emotions. I've said it before, but if I watched Fox I wouldn't vote for me!"

I've recently found out that he was actually - pre name change - the annoying attention seeking kid from a couple of years below me at school. Which is a strange mix of mindblowingly weird and totally plausible in retrospect.
Also, a few schoolfriends on Facebook are now trying to remember whether he was one of the people who got put upside-down in the bin in the sixth form common room, and wondering how much influence it might have had on his subsequent path in life if he was.

25 April 2014 at 4.40pm | Comment on this article
Leading choreographer and Royal Ballet Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon is perhaps best known for his narrative ballets, which for The Royal Ballet include the ever-popular Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and his newest work, the acclaimed The Winter's Tale.
But, like many great choreographers, Wheeldon's bread and butter is the one-act abstract ballet. Over the course of his partnerships with The Royal Ballet and New York City Ballet, and with companies around the world, Wheeldon has created a magnificent portfolio of short ballets that are each exquisite examples of his distinctive choreographic language. To mark the return of DGV, we've picked out a selection of films from companies around the world showing Wheeldon's style, both in the rehearsal room and on stage.

Beatriz Stix-Brunell and Nehemiah Kish in 'Trespass' (Metamorphosis: Titian 2012) © ROH/Johan Persson, 2012
Wheeldon's first work for NYCB as the company's first artist in residence was Polyphonia, first performed in 2001. Wheeldon set the work to four extremely taxing piano pieces by Hungarian composer György Ligeti – in this interview with NYCB he describes how he decided to 'find a really, really hard piece of music that's going to scare the living daylights out of you. I found the Ligeti piano pieces and thought ok this music is brilliant, it's terrifying and I wouldn't know what to do with it'. It's a work that demands careful counting from the dancers (see Royal Ballet dancer tackle the first movement in rehearsal with Wheeldon here) – but that pays thrilling dividends when Wheeldon's choreography brings out the underlying patterns within the music.
After the Rain
Wheeldon created After the Rain for NYCB's 2005 New Combinations Evening, an annual celebration of the company's founder George Balanchine. The original ballet is in two parts, with the first for three couples. But is the second part, a pas de deux set to Arvo Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel, that has really hit a chord with audiences. The pas de deux was created on Wendy Whelan – a regular collaborator with Wheeldon – and Jock Soto, shortly before Soto's retirement. In an interview with Pacific Northwest Ballet for their revival of the pas de deux, Wheeldon described how 'it wasn't until after having an audience see that I realized people were very moved by it… Some people think that they see this idea of loss, or some of love. That's the wonderful thing about making abstract dance, that you all get to decide the story that you see'. In 2003, the extract was performed by NYCB principals Maria Kowroski and Ask la Cour on the 57th floor of 4WTC, the skyscraper that stands on one corner of Ground Zero in New York.
DGV: Danse à grande vitesse
Wheeldon's created DGV in 2006 for The Royal Ballet, and it returns to the stage in spring 2014 in the Company's upcoming mixed programme. The ballet is set to a score by Michael Nyman that was originally commissioned by the Festival de Lille to commemorate the inauguration of France's TGV high-speed train line. In this clip, New York City Ballet corps de ballet member Gretchen Smith rehearses the work:
Fool's Paradise
One of Wheeldon's first works for his company Morphoses was Fool's Paradise, first performed in 2007 at the company's inaugural season at Sadler's Wells. Joby Talbot created a full orchestration of his 2002 chamber work The Dying Swan, a soundtrack for Yevgeni Bauer's 1916 silent film of the same name. Talbot carefully nuanced his orchestration to support Wheeldon's choreography: 'I wanted to be able to use the broader orchestral sonorities to match the scope of Christopher's onstage vision, but also have the ability to shrink back to the piece's original intimacy at a moment's notice.' Wheeldon commented how 'The result is a beautiful score, excessively melodic'. It was the start of a partnership that has led to Talbot creating the specially-commissioned scores for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Winter's Tale.
What is your favourite Wheeldon one-act ballet?
The Human Seasons / After the Rain / Flight Pattern runs 16–24 March 2017. Tickets are still available.

Liberty Athletics earns national academic certification
Following a comprehensive study of Liberty University's Academic Affairs for Athletics office, the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) has granted Liberty Athletics national academic certification.
Prior to Liberty Athletics earning the N4A program certification designation, there were only 13 NCAA Division I programs in the country who have earned the organization's recognition.
"The foundational goal of any collegiate athletics department is academic success and to become the 14th institution of higher learning to accomplish this level of certification is very special," said Jeff Barber, Liberty's Director of Athletics.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Winter-weary motorists faced another treacherous commute Monday in parts of the Mid-Atlantic as snow and frigid weather blew in just days before the start of spring.
At least a few inches of snow were reported in the Washington area and parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey by early Monday.
In Washington, crews worked overnight to clear snow, but transportation officials warned that roads were still dangerous. Heavy snow closed Reagan National Airport's runways. Dulles International Airport and BWI were seeing many cancelations, but were open.
Forecasters urged drivers not to let their guards down, and federal offices in the Washington area were closed for the day. Downtown Washington roads were covered as heavy snow fell early Monday, but by the time rush hour would usually begin, just a few flakes fell on slushy roads with light traffic.
In Falls Church, Va., Mike Miller spun out twice on the highway in the 3 a.m. hour on what turned out to be a one-hour drive to open up a Sunoco. No one was hurt in the incident.
"Luckily no one was behind me," he said.
But Miller remained in good spirits.
"My thing is, it's still technically winter until the 20th," he said, referring to the first day of spring. "There are places where it snows year round. Just deal with it."
Stephen Moore, 46, who works for the State Department, had pulled out his cross-country skis and was taking the Metro down to the National Mall, where he was hoping there'd be enough snow to put them to use.
"I'm assuming this is the last snow of the year," Moore said.
Willis Anderson of Falls Church, Va., said he recognizes he is in the minority, but he likes the snow. He took his dog for a walk to the grocery store just to enjoy the weather.
"This is a cold-weather dog right here," he said. "He spruces up for cold weather."
In New Jersey, the heaviest snow was reported in the southern part of the state, where many schools were closed or delayed opening.
While some were in good spirits about the weather, patience was wearing thin for many others.
"Never thought of March as being Spring. But snow, yeah, I'm over snow," said Jackie Denham, who was at a grocery store in Alexandria, Va., on Sunday.
Rain and thunderstorms were expected in the Southeast, some of which could be strong. Winter's return follows several days of spring-like temperatures in many regions.
Ricardo Contreras, an upholsterer from Harrisburg, Pa., said he was tired of the winter and had no plans to shovel whatever might fall overnight.
"I'll just let it melt by itself," Contreras said.
Engineer Bill Bingham, heading into the West Shore Plaza in Lemoyne, Pa., for Sunday breakfast, said he was most looking forward to playing some golf for the first time in many months.
"I really like the winter, but I'm done with the snow now," Bingham said. "I'm ready for spring."
Richard Windsor of Jackson, N.J., said he was not that impressed by the new storm system. Several previous storms this season dropped 10 or more inches of snow in the state.
"With the winter we've had, I'm not worried about an inch or two of snow," Windsor said as he gassed up his sport utility vehicle Sunday morning. "I figure if I made it through the stronger storms, I can handle this."
Temperatures in many areas are expected to be in tune with spring by Thursday. But forecasters cannot say whether winter weather will finally end. Forecasters said snowstorms are typical through March.
Winter's final encore? More snow for parts of US
WASHINGTON (AP) — Winter-weary motorists faced another treacherous commute Monday in parts of the Mid-Atlantic as snow and frigid weather blew in just days before the start of spring.
