Claribel Alegría, noted Central American poet, to speak at Loyola University New Orleans
Loyola press release - February 21, 2001
(New Orleans)Claribel Alegría, internationally-known poet and author, will lecture and read from her work at Loyola University New Orleans on Thursday, March 29, 2001, at 7 p.m. The performance, which is part of International Week celebrations, will be in the Nunemaker Hall, on the main campus at 6363 St. Charles Avenue.
Alegría, who studied at Loyola, has had a long and productive career as one of the major voices in Latin American letters. In her work, she emphasizes her commitment to social justice and confronts the political realities of Central America. Born in Nicaragua, she was raised in El Salvador and considers herself a political exile of that country.
Her most recent book of poetry published in 1999, Sorrow, was written after the death of her long-time collaborator, translator and husband, Darwin Flakoll. The tone in these poems is bittersweet, coming from love, grief and solitude and a yearning beyond sorrow. She also writes of the peace she achieved after the recognition that a triumph over sadness is possible. Even her other poems that give voice to the victims of dictatorships and death squads are love poems to the land and the people where she was nurtured.
Alegría has published 40 books including 14 books of poetry, nine of which are available in English, four short novels and a book of childrens stories. Her books have been translated into English, French, Dutch and Polish. Her poems have been translated into 14 languages.
For more information, call Josefa Salmón, Ph.D., 865-2692. Based on the heritage of Catholic Jesuit higher education in Louisiana since 1849, Loyola University New Orleans was chartered in 1912.

Dreamy and atmospheric electronica track. With its slightly pensive and flowing feel it works well as background music for scientific, space, travel projects and more.
Of course VIDEOHIVE AUTHORS can use all my preview tracks in their video items. Please set a link and send me an email. Then I can complete my item descriptions. Thanks.
I'm very interested how my music was used. If it is possible, please let me know (on my profile page right side bottom). Thanks for rating

Descriere:IOLAN SCS Console Servers have a truly fault tolerant design to minimize downtime and provide reliable, secure remote device management. With built-in dual Ethernet and Redundant Path technology the IOLAN SCS provides assured serial console port access, offering the most reliable solution for managing data center and remote branch equipment… all at the best price performance.
Why IOLAN SCS Console Servers are the preferred choice:
IOLAN SCS Console Server - Remote Console Management
High performance 400 MHz, 750 MIPS, 32 bit processor with integrated hardware encryption processor for the best throughput
Clustering – Provides a single view of all out of band console ports. Ideal for large data centers
Intelligent Power cycling of equipment with Perle Remote Power Switches
Next Generation IP support (IPv6) for investment protection and network compatibility
Primary/Backup host functionality enables automatic connections to alternate hosts should the primary TCP connection go down
EasyPort Web – Access equipment serial console ports by using your java-enabled Internet browser
FIPS 140-2 – Cryptographic modules meet US Government NIST compliancy
Dynamic DNS – Easy console management access from anywhere on the Internet
Java-free browser access to remote serial console ports via Telnet and SSH
Ping watchdog probes enable customers to power cycle equipment with attached Perle RPS power switches in the event of an unresponsive networking gear
Lifetime warranty – best investment protection available
Secure Serial Console Management
IOLAN SCS Console Servers enable administrators to securely access remote serial console ports on equipment such as PBX, servers, routers, network storage equipment and security appliances through an IP network. Data management information is protected through standard encryption tools such as Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Access by authorized users is assured via authentication schemes such as RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NIS and RSA Security's SecurID tokens.
By using encryption technologies, an IOLAN Console Server protects sensitive and confidential data before being sent across a corporate Intranet or public Internet. For compatibility with peer encryption devices, all of the major encryption ciphers such as AES, 3DES, RC4, RC2 and CAST128 are fully supported.
Recognized as the most secure method for communicating to remote private networks over the Internet, the IPSec standard provides robust authentication and encryption of IP packets at the network layer of the OSI model. As a standard it is ideal for multi-vendor interoperation within a network, providing flexibility and the ability to match the right solution for a particular application.
High Availability Access
The IOLAN SCS has built-in fault tolerant capabilities to ensure secure and reliable access for managing important mission critical equipment. Dual Ethernet interfaces on the IOLAN SCS provide redundant network paths while dual AC power supply models ensure that console management is available even if the primary AC power source fails. For remote administrators that require access from home, on the road or in the event of a total network failure, an optional IOLAN V.92 modem card delivers a solid, integrated solution with direct phone line attachment via its onboard RJ11 jack.
Protection against electrostatic discharges and power surges is provided with robust 15Kv ESD protection circuitry on each serial port.
Advanced IP Technology
With support for Next Generation IP (IPv6) the IOLAN range provides organizations with investment protection to meet this rapidly growing standard.
Demand for IPv6, which is compatible with IPv4 addressing schemes, is driven by the need for more IP address. With the implementation and rollout of advanced cellular networks, a robust method is needed to handle the huge influx of new IP addressable devices on the Internet. In fact, the US Department of Defense has mandated that a

The chairman of the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association says they will not be calling for a fans boycott of the historic FA Cup clash between AFC Wimbledon and MK Dons.
Simon Wheeler says WISA will be having talks with the Dons' board later today to discuss the club's overall approach, but whether Dons fans make the trip to Stadium mk will be their own decision.
MK Dons' 6-1 win over Cambridge City last night (Tuesday) emphatically set up the second round clash with the Dons, due to be played on the weekend of December 1.
Wheeler said: "We will not be calling for a boycott of the game, however we are asking supporters to consider the history of their club and make their own decision about going.
"I will not be going for two reasons: one, I do not want to give a penny to a football club that stole from us, and, two, between 2002 and 2007 I was personally asking people to boycott MK Dons games - I had one Dons fans who had been going to matches for 20 years and he told me would not be going, so I think it would be hypocritical of me."
He added: "The MK Dons do not know who they are, they have a real identity crisis. One minute they are a club for Milton Keynes, then the local paper refers to them as the Dons.
"It is time for them to say 'we have upset a lot of people, what we did was wrong. We will drop the Dons and rebrand ourselves as a Milton Keynes club."

In the master-planned communities of central and suburban O'ahu, golf courses take center stage, and there are a plethora of public courses, especially on the 'Ewa Plain.
Pearl Harbor
Overlooking Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri, the Pearl County Club (98-535 Kaonohi St., 808/487-3802,) combines scenery and engaging golf with challenging course conditions and speedy downhill putts.

With views of Pearl Harbor, downtown Honolulu, and Diamond Head, the Royal Kunia Country Club (94-1509 Anonui St., 808/688-9222) in Waipahu is a Robin Nelson-designed course situated across an undulating landscape with abundant water features and 101 bunkers. Greens fees for 18 holes are $150, twilight rates (after 2pm) are $80.
Also in Waipahu, the Ted Makalena Golf Course (93-059 Waipio Access Rd., 808/675-6052), an 18-hole par-71 course, has a level layout and is great for beginners. The greens fees for 18 holes are $52, twilight or nine holes $26; cart rental is $20 for 18 holes and $10 for nine holes.
Situated in a planned residential development, the 18-hole golf course at Waikele Country Club (94-200 Paioa Pl., 808/676-9000) is full of water features like ponds and waterfalls, along with strategically placed bunkers for a challenging Ted Robinson-designed course. Greens fees are $130; twilight $80 after 1pm.
Wooded with Cook pine, eucalyptus, and red African tulip trees, Mililani Golf Course (95-176 Kuahelani Ave., 808/623-2222) is an 18-hole, par-72 course offering a sense of remoteness and tranquility situated between the Ko'olau and Wai'anae Ranges with amazing views. Visitor greens fees are $99 and $75 for twilight, after 11am.
Hawaii Country Club (92-1211 Kunia Rd., 808/621-5654) is designed into the natural landscape of the area, utilizing the hills, valleys and nearly 200 wide-spreading monkeypod trees. The course favors accuracy over long-range driving.

The Ewa Villages Golf Course (91-1801 Park Row St., 808/681-0220) is rated as O'ahu's toughest 18-hole course among the five most difficult courses. With the tight fairways, wind plays a major factor on this links-style course. The greens fees for 18 holes are $52, twilight or nine holes $26; cart rental is $20 for 18 holes and $10 for nine holes.
Coral Creek Golf Course (91-1111 Geiger Rd., 808/441-1112) is another Nelson designed course.

Elevated greens are protected by strategic bunkers incorporating sloping conditions. Rates are $180 for 18 holes, $80 for twilight (after noon), $70 nine-hole play after 11am. Carts are included with greens fees, and they offer a golf and transportation package for $170, club rental for an extra $20.
The Hawaii Prince Golf Club (91-1200 Fort Weaver Rd., 808/944-4567) is a 27- hole, par-72 championship course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. Water is a major design feature throughout the three nines that were initially carved from coral rock. Don't be surprised to see Hawai'i's native waterbirds taking advantage of the lush, verdant setting.

A former site of the LPGA Hawaiian Ladies Open, the Kapolei Golf Course (91-701 Farrington Hwy., 808/674-2227) has over 70 sand bunkers, three lakes, wide landing areas, and greenside chipping areas to accommodate all levels of golfers. Greens fees are $160.

Time flies.
At the store, I overheard this confused conversation between a 50-ish woman and her 30-ish daughter.
Mom: It's been at least a century since I bought new towels.I have noticed that entire months slip by very quickly. Does that relate? I'm not sure.
Daughter: No, it has not been a century, Mom! You got new towels when you redid the bathroom. That was seven years ago.
Mom: Well, I guess you're right. It seems like it's been over a century, though.

Romantic Getaway with Natural Hot Mineral-Water Pools
More than a century ago, in the California town of Desert Hot Springs, both hot and cold natural mineral springs were discovered atop the aptly named Miracle Hill. As a result, resorts and spas populated the town, hoping to take advantage of the springs' believed holistic healing properties. You can soak in these mineral-rich waters at Miracle Springs Resort & Spa, set on an acre in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains.
The Mediterranean-influenced hotel, topped by a terra-cotta stucco roof and surrounded by lush gardens, pumps the 140-degree water straight from the earth before cooling it down to 90–105 degrees. The water then fills eight pools and hot tubs, which are open 24 hours. There, you can bathe in the waters for as long as you'd like—the hotel suggests dipping into the pools and tubs two–three times a day to reach total relaxation.
Near the mineral pools, the onsite Capri restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Typical entrees include top sirloin ($14) and gnocchi à la romano ($11). At the onsite spa, aestheticians and massage therapists are on hand to perform massages ($65+), facials ($60+), and body wraps ($40+).
Desert Hot Springs, California: Spa-Centric Oasis Minutes from Palm Springs
In 1913, settler Cabot Yerxa was digging a well in the San Bernardino foothills when he unearthed natural hot springs bubbling beneath the Californian desert. These hot springs created a spa-centric culture in Desert Hot Springs—the mineral waters, which reach temperatures of up to 148 degrees, flow directly into several local spas. Yerxa also used material found throughout the desert to handcraft a Hopi-influenced pueblo home that towers four stories high. It's now immortalized as Cabot's Pueblo Museum, and is open for tours.
Twelve miles south of Desert Hot Springs, you'll find a retro '50s and '60s vibe in Palm Springs. The ritzy vacation spot features world-class golf courses and shopping centers. Joshua Tree National Park lies 40 miles east, an 800,000-acre swath of land that stretches across parts of the Colorado and Mojave Deserts. The five palm oases scattered throughout the park are the best spots to see native animals, such as snakes, bighorn sheep, and black-tailed jackrabbits.

The FHA is Broke, but Apparently No One is AccountablePosted by on October 29, 2013
Today, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing on the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) first-ever taxpayer-funded bailout — approximately $1.7 billion.
Despite long-standing concerns about its solvency, the FHA has not taken the necessary steps to mitigate its losses. FHA currently has several means at its disposal to minimize losses to its insurance fund, yet the FHA has not fully utilized these tools. As a result, American taxpayers are now on the hook for a $1.7 billion bailout.
In light of FHA's fiscal mismanagement and first-ever taxpayer-funded bailout, Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) asked FHA Commissioner Carol Galante whether anyone at the agency she heads has been held accountable.
As seen in the video below, unfortunately, Commissioner Galante could not tell Chairman Hensarling who has been held accountable. In fact, she had no answer at all.

The University of San Francisco has been accredited since 1935. There are a lot of schools through which there are pretty good job prospects. You can make good money without working in a big law firm. My friend's Dad went to Southwestern (which is by no means a national school), but he makes a lot of money. A lot depends on how hard you work and the chances that you are willing to take. Sometimes working for a really small firm pays off, because you can make a greater share of the profits once business picks up.
Another way of thinking about it is that 3rd and 4th tier schools (although usually expensive-especially in California) make it possible for people with poor grades and LSAT scores to still go to law school. Those schools aren't prestigious, but if you have the money then you can become a lawyer.

LEXINGTON, Va. – Washington and Lee University held its annual Athletic Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, May 18 at Lee Chapel. Headlining the award winners were senior soccer/track & field athlete Maggie Sutherland (Pittsburgh, Pa./Sewickley Academy) and senior basketball/track & field athlete Ben Goetsch (Timonium, Md./Gilman), who were selected as the "Pres" Brown Outstanding Senior Female and Male Athletes of the Year as voted on by members of the department.
Senior swimmer Josh Gonzalez (Bridgewater, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) was chosen as the William D. McHenry Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while senior cross country/track & field athlete Kat Telfeyan (Chesapeake, Va./Great Bridge) received the Wink Glasgow Spirit & Sportsmanship Award. First-year cross country/track & field athlete Lauren Schultz (Hopkinton, Mass./Hopkinton) and first-year tennis player Hayden White (Baltimore, Md./Towson) were tabbed as the Outstanding First-Year Athlete Award recipients, and senior field hockey manager Joey McDonald was presented the J.L. "Lefty" Newell Award. Former Athletic Director Mike Walsh received the R.E. "Chub" Yeakel Award and junior politics major John Weber was awarded the Richard Miller Physical Education Scholarship.
Sutherland was a four-year letterwinner for both the soccer and track & field teams, serving as a team captain for both squads as a senior. In soccer, she was a four-year starter at defense and midfield, totaling 33 career points on 15 goals and three assists. She helped the defense rank among the best in Division III during her four seasons, allowing an average of just 0.50 goals per game during her career, including an NCAA all-divisions-best 0.126 goals-against average in 2006. She earned First Team All-ODAC honors as a junior and senior and was a Second Team All-ODAC honoree as a first-year when she received ODAC and Virginia College Division Rookie of the Year honors. A three-time all-state choice, Sutherland earned Second Team All-South Region honors as a junior and First Team All-South honors as a senior. In track & field, she earned one First Team All-ODAC citation and three Second Team All-ODAC citations, winning the high jump (1.62m) at the 2007 Indoor ODAC Championships and finishing second in the high jump at the conference championships on three occasions. Sutherland holds the school record in the indoor high jump (5'05.00") and she also held the indoor record for the 55 meter hurdles (8.91), which was later broken. Three times she was a provisional qualifier for the NCAA Division III Championships, doing so in the high jump (2007), heptathlon (2008) and pentathlon (2009). Sutherland also received the W&L Outstanding Freshman Female Athlete Award in 2007.
Goetsch lettered four times with both the basketball and track & field programs, serving as a basketball team captain as a senior. This season, he averaged 16.4 points and 8.4 rebounds per game en route to earning Second Team All-ODAC honors. He was also named the ODAC/Farm Bureau Insurance Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year after posting double-digit point totals in 23 of the team's 27 games. For his career, Goetsch shot nearly 50 percent from the field in totaling 825 points and 432 rebounds. He also helped the Generals to a 59-48 overall record, the best four-year total since the 1992 senior class. In track & field, Goetsch twice earned Second Team All-ODAC honors in the high jump and took fourth in the event at the 2010 ODAC Championships. Goetsch is the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship and will spend next year teaching English and coaching basketball for German high school students.
Gonzalez was named the McHenry Scholar-Athlete after earning four letters as a member of the swimming team. A two-time First Team All-Bluegrass Moutain Conference honoree, he was among the team's top butterfly and individual medley swimmers all four years. The physics and politics double-major was a finalist for a Rhodes Scholarship and has been accepted into graduate school at Cambridge University. A 2010 Bluegrass Mountain Conference All-Academic Team honoree, Gonzalez has been selected to participate in the Teach for America program in the Bay Area next year.
Telfeyan received the Wink Glasgow Award after earning four letters with both the cross country and track & field teams, serving as a cross country captain the last two seasons and a track & field captain as a senior. She was a three-time First Team All-ODAC runner in cross country, earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2006 & Runner of the Year laurels in 2007. She also earned all-region honors four times and was an NCAA National Championship qualifier on three occasions. In track & field, she was a four-time all-conference honoree, winning the 1,500 and 5,000 meter races at the 2010 ODAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
Schultz received the outstanding first-year female athlete award following letter-winning seasons with the cross country and track & field teams. In cross country, she finished seventh overall at the ODAC Championship en route to earning First Team All-ODAC honors and being named the ODAC Rookie of the Year. She also placed 30th overall at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional meet to garner all-region accolades. In track & field, Schultz earned First Team All-ODAC honors during the indoor season when she won the 5000 meters with a time of 19:16.52. At the outdoor championships, she earned First Team All-ODAC recognition after winning the 3000 meter steeplechase with a time of 12:07.44. She also garnered second team all-conference honors after a second-place finish in the 5000 meters (18:53.81) in being named ODAC Rookie of the Year.
White was named the outstanding first-year male athlete following a rookie season that saw him earn First Team All-America honors in singles. He finished fourth at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Small College Championships during the fall and earned First Team All-ODAC honors in both singles and doubles during the spring. The 2010 ODAC Rookie of the Year, he was also tabbed the ITA Atlantic South Region Rookie of the Year. A qualifier for the NCAA National Singles Championship, White finished with a 17-8 record in doubles and he will carry a 23-10 singles record into the NCAA Championships.
McDonald was presented the Lefty Newell Award for his work as a manager with the field hockey team, while Walsh received the Chub Yeakel Award for his continued support of the athletic programs both as a development officer raising funds for athletic facilities and as an enthusiastic spectator for W&L athletic events. Weber will receive a scholarship for having completed the University's physical education requirements as a model student.
Numerous additional team awards were given out during the course of the evening. For a complete listing of the Washington and Lee major department and team awards, simply download the listing. You can also view and download the event program.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – The King University had women's wrestlers competing in different places this weekend. Alli Ragan competed in the Battle at the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada while Sarah Hildebrandt, Amanda Hendey and Julia Salata competed at the Austria Open. Hildebrandt came home with a gold medal in the 55-kilogram weight class.
Hildebrandt started the Austria Open with victories over Nadine Tokar of Sweden and Lenka Martinakove of the Czech Republic. Those wins setup a gold medal bout against France's Aurelie Basset, a bout that Hildebrandt won to take the gold medal.
At the 67-kilogram weight class, Salata took silver after defeating Mathilia Bounxooisana of France and Great Britain's Chloe Spiteri in pool play before falling to Azerbaijan's Nataliya Paramachuck in the gold medal bout.
Also at the Austria Open, Hendey competed in the 63-kilogram weight class and took victories over Kolic Mariana of France and Danielle Lappage in pool play. However, she dropped a close decision to USA's Jennifer Page to finish in fourth place.
In the Battle at the Falls, Ragan defeated former world medalist Natalya Synshyn of Ukraine 12-4 at the 59-kilogram weight class. The win helped give USA a 16-13 victory over the Ukraine. However, Ragan later fell to Canada's Braxton Papadopoulos.
The next event for the Tornado will be the Senior World Team Trials on June 20-22. Later in July, Samantha Klingel (51-kiliogram) and Kayla Brendlinger (55-kilogram) will represent the US at the Junior Pan Am Championships.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Once the Affordable Care Act fiasco dust settles, it only seems natural. Even if President Barack Obama likes the team at the helm of his second term, he will likely not be able to keep it.
Obama is expected by former administration officials to soon make a course correction in his administration to address the glaring mistakes made in the roll-out of the Affordable Care Act.
"I think they're going to have to hold somebody accountable for the botched roll-out and the website not working --somebody at HHS or a group of people," said Robert Gibbs, Obama's press secretary during his first term, on NBC's "Today" show on Monday.
"I think if this were to happen in the private sector, somebody would have probably already lost their job and I think the only way to restore ultimate confidence in going forward is to make sure that whoever was in charge of this isn't in charge of the long-term health care plan," Gibbs said.
The question is which heads will roll.
Conventional wisdom in Washington is that the President is stuck with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. That exercise ends with two obvious questions: Who replaces her? And how does that person get confirmed?
"The real problem here is not the White House staff, but Sebelius and the team of incompetents that put President Obama in this position," a top Democratic strategist told CNN on the condition of anonymity. "That said, they believe they can't confirm anyone -- so the GOP is Sebelius' best job security. Perverse."
But a top GOP congressional aide argued replacing Sebelius would be difficult, but not impossible.
"The confirmation hearing would be rough. So it's not that he can't. It's that he doesn't want to," the aide said.
The focus on HHS is an obvious one. Consider the President's stunning admission at last Thursday's news conference that he was never "directly" told about the problems plaguing HealthCare.gov.
"I was not informed directly that the website would not be working the way it was supposed to. Had I been informed, I wouldn't be going out saying, 'Boy, this is going to be great,' " Obama said.
But deep inside Health and Human Services, officials were well aware of the site's bugs. In e-mails released by the Republican controlled House Energy and Commerce Committee Friday, one HHS official told contractors working on the site he feared healthcare.gov would "crash" after takeoff.
Publicly, White House officials maintain the focus is on fixing the site and the Affordable Care Act's other big problem: consumers who are losing their insurance coverage despite the President's pledge "If you like your plan you can keep it."
"The President right now has tasked his team -- and everyone involved in this effort -- to the work needed to improve the website and to improve the implementation of the Affordable Care Act," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Friday.
But once the White House moves beyond "right now," administration officials privately acknowledge the inevitable. The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday the White House has begun an internal assessment of what went wrong.
David Plouffe, a former senior adviser to the President, indicated Sunday a staff shakeup is coming.
"So I think once the website gets fixed, and it will, then you have to step back and say, 'OK, what do I need to have confidence going forward that I can to implement this law?' " Plouffe told ABC's "This Week."
The bureaucratic failings that led up to the botched implementation of the federal health insurance marketplace have invited comparisons to former President George W. Bush's response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Five days after Katrina, Bush infamously praised the work of Michael Brown, then director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," Bush said.
But 15 days after the storm, Brown had stepped down.
"The President appreciates Mike Brown's service," Bush's White House press secretary Scott McClellan said at the time.
Disclosures of Brown's utter lack of any extensive emergency management training accelerated his departure. Brown was a top official at the International Arabian Horse Association before he was brought into FEMA by his friend, Joe Allbaugh, Bush's former campaign manager.
But Bush's searing Katrina saga stands in stark contrast to the President's handling of Obamacare's bumbling, humbling roll-out. There have been no high-profile firings and White House officials maintain the President still has confidence in Sebelius.
And there are other notable differences. Unlike Brown's inexperience, Sebelius had been a state insurance commissioner in Kansas before becoming that state's governor prior to landing the job at HHS.
Fiercely loyal, the President is known to loathe giving the opposition "scalps."
"Rolling heads just isn't 'No-Drama-Obama's' way. In this case it ought to be," said Larry Sabato, the director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "A president's credibility sometimes demands a pound of flesh."
CNN political contributor and former White House adviser David Gergen points to the shakeup in the second term of the Reagan administration following the initial revelations of the Iran-Contra affair.
"They ran almost a model of how to get rid of something," Gergen said.
Gergen recommends a "thundercloud" approach to Obama's current troubles -- in other words, a rash of firings and hirings of heavyweights to the White House staff that grabs the nation's attention.
"They still have time to recover," Gergen said.

Rep. Karen Bass Statement on Reappointment to Serve as Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations
Washington, D.C. – Representative Karen Bass (D-Calif) released the following statement today on her reappointment to serve as Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations in the 113th Congress. Representative Bass is currently the only African American woman serving on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
"I am honored to serve as Ranking Member of this critically important subcommittee at such a pivotal time in America's relationship with Africa. During my first term, I was honored to play a role in helping to redefine America's relationship with the continent and pushing for the United States to be a fully engaged partner in the thriving economic growth being seen all across sub-Saharan Africa. We successfully secured an extension of AGOA's third country fabric provision that permits African nations to import raw materials from anywhere in the world, produce apparel, and export the finished product to Africa from the U.S. duty-free. For U.S. apparel companies like GAP and Levi Strauss, this extension helped to make it possible that they can continue to do business in Africa.
Working across party lines, we will do what we can to resolve many long-simmering conflicts that threaten the stability of the continent and expose human rights abuses wherever they exist across the globe. I look forward to continuing this work and am honored to be chosen to serve."

Try-It-Now Trend: Dip-Painted Desks
I'm a steadfast adherent to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." So when it comes to DIY, I can be somewhat of a commitment-phobe. Painting a desk neon pink is a big commitment, but painting part of a desk neon pink is a slightly more subtle statement I consider totally do-able, livable, and importantly, easily reversible.
Anyone looking for a way to embrace the dip-dye craze without being smothered by it should consider dip-painting the legs of a desk or office chair. Dipped legs inject a bit of trendy style without committing to a whole-hog makeover.
Dip-dyeing has shown up on everything from tools to toothbrushes. But when neon- or metallic-tipped legs are no longer in vogue for furniture, it's quick work to paint the piece back it its original color. You don't actually "dip" anything: Just tape off a straight like some distance from the ground (6 to 8 inches is a good distance for desk legs), then paint with a brush below the tape.
Just a quick dip:
- White trestle legs get a raw pink dip-dyed look in Michelle's home office, featured on Florence Finds.
- Gold tips bring attention to the mismnatched legs of this girly pink desk from Splendid Spaces.
- This desk is twice-dipped with black and coral, spotted on Smart Girl Style.
- A mint writing desk with gold feet, from She Inspires.
In for a little more commitment? Try a reverse dip-dye! Paint everything above the "dip" line, leaving legs in their natural state:
- This desk over at Design Sponge (from Jaquelyn Clark of Lark & Linen) went dark, leaving natural legs in bright bare wood.
- Randi of Swoon Studio tried it with a natural wood desk, IKEA's LATT children's table, with great results.
These aren't specifically workspace pieces, but they give great inspiration for different leg styles:
- Mid-century modern hairpin legs look great with a red tip, as shown on this coffee table done by The Brick House.
- Sturdy desks can still get a dip dye makeover, something like this painted dresser from Etsy seller, Hayleon Vintage.

$550 million jackpot: Area residents join Powerball frenzy
Some have derided it as a tax on the poor.
But with as much as half a billion dollars up for grabs, area residents joined the nationwide frenzy ahead of tonight's Powerball drawing that officials say now has a $550 million jackpot.
Sure, the chances of winning this gargantuan lottery jackpot are just one in 175,223,510.
But that wasn't stopping countless wishful thinkers from concocting lucky winning number combinations, forming secret office pools and daydreaming for far too long about whether to take the lump sum up-front, which relative will be the first to hit you up for money, and just how much it would cost to buy the Bills.
The draw of a big jackpot is no surprise to area psychology experts.
"It becomes an event," said Dr. Timothy Osberg, a psychology professor at Niagara University. "A lot more people bet on the Kentucky Derby than go to the OTB for a regular race. When these things are in the news, they kind of want to be a part of it."
Playing the lottery is one of the most popular kinds of gambling in America, said Dr. John W. Welte, senior research scientist at the University at Buffalo's Research Institute on Addictions. A study conducted a decade ago found that 66 percent of people who said they had ever gambled played the lottery.
"I think the big thing is it's just available," Welte said. "To gamble in a casino, you have to go to the casino. To bet on horse racing, you go to the race track. The lottery is in the 7-Eleven. There are Lotto machines in your laundromat. It's everywhere."
Lotteries, and other types of government-run gambling, are big business for states, too, and it's no surprise they are popular with politicians, Welte said.
"I get money, and I don't have to raise taxes," Welte said. "If you're a politician, it doesn't get any better than that."
Lottery games are a huge revenue source in New York State. The state's schools received $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2011-2012 – almost 15 percent of total state aid to local school districts, the New York State Lottery proudly points out in a news release.
But Welte said problems arise when people stop treating the lottery as an occasional recreational activity.
"For the vast majority of people who gamble, it's more or less harmless," he said.
Researchers have found that playing the lottery can be a predictor of who will become addicted to gambling. "It wasn't just people who gamble in casinos," he said.
Giant jackpots bring out even more people for an array of reasons, said Osberg, the Niagara University professor.
Studies show that while the most frequent lottery players tend to be of lower socioeconomic status, a broader range of people will buy tickets when the jackpot is huge.
There's also some flawed understanding of odds in winning the lottery.
Big jackpots come from previous drawings coming up without a winner.
People convince themselves that since "no one won, it's more likely you can win," Osberg said.
Big jackpots are becoming more common, too, as more states have joined the giant multi-state lotteries. Powerball has 44 participants, including Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands.
The Iowa-based lottery has also made changes to increase jackpots, namely doubling ticket prices to $2.
Since the increase in price in January, Powerball has increased sales revenue by 27 percent, according to the Los Angeles Times.
"We call this uncharted territory," said Kim Vore, spokeswoman for the Iowa Lottery. "We've never had a jackpot this big." Only Megamillions, which had a jackpot of over $600 million in March, surpasses this one.
One local lottery winner had some advice for anyone lucky enough to win tonight.
"I would tell them to be very careful as far as overspending and make sure they save enough money for taxes," said the Buffalo nurse who won $1 million three years ago in a scratch-off game.
When she won, the nurse, who asked not to be identified, said she helped someone pay off medical bills. But then she got her tax bill. "It really killed me in the taxes."
She said what was almost as bad were incessant phone calls from companies wanting to play a part in her finances. "It drives me crazy," she said.
But at the same time, the extra money has come in handy. She bought a house, with cash. Her car is paid off. And she has some money to spend on her grandchildren.
Today, she said, she's skipping the Powerball.
"I like the scratch-offs," she explained. "I like to know right away. That's how I won in the first place."

SOS Japan
Earthquake - tsunami - nuclear disaster threat...
Impossible to imagine what people are going through right now in Japan.
I just had the feeling I had to do something - how little it is.
This afternoon I whipped together this bag which will be up for sale later this week. I haven't worked out the details yet - but most likely it will go through my Etsy shop.
The full amount of the sale will be donated to the Red Cross Japanese Disaster Relief Fund (through La Croix Rouge Française).

Hello! I am a big fan of your blog.
I have been reading your blog for a long time but never posted any comments...
Although I am not living in Japan currently, I am from there.
I feel really grateful for you to do this for the country.
I have donated to American Red Cross and asking my friends for donations. That is what I can do away from my hometown.
Again, thank you very much for your kindness and hope the readers of your blog would participate it.

Park Model Builders Looking for Uptick in 2012
December 7, 2011 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Park Model Builders Looking for Uptick in 2012
Curt Yoder and Kermit Kropf are competitors. But, according to a report in the Goshen (Ind.) News, this past week they were also neighbors.
Yoder is co-owner of Kropf Industries and Kropf is president of Dutch Park Homes. Both companies build recreational park trailers in Goshen. And each company displayed their products at the National RV Trade Show.
Tucked in along the back wall of Hall 5 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC), the two displays were part of just a handful of park model dealers at the show.
"We are talking to existing dealers and getting orders from existing dealers. But overall, it seems attendance seems to be down," Yoder said while standing in front of the park models that are designed to look like down-sized homes.
Yoder had three park models at the show. He said the company has recently earned its "green" certification because of the materials used building the units. He also said the company is always working to improve products.
"We are constantly coming up with new floorplans and tweaking our products to stay ahead of the design game," he said.
Park model RVs are designed to be placed on a campground lot for extended stays of six or seven months. They are not used year-round, according to Kropf, because most states don't allow permanent occupancy of campground sites.
Park models resemble small homes, with dining rooms, a linked kitchen and a master bedroom, and most have lofts converted to small sleeping areas for visitors and grandchildren. Many retirees use the models when going south for the winter. They are also popular with campground owners for rentals.
The Goshen News reported that demand from campground owners has helped stabilize the segment during the economic downturn.
Yet the industry has had a challenging time. According to the Recreational Park Trailer Industry Assocation (RPTIA), national shipment numbers for the last three years were 5,004 (2008), 3,307 (2009), and 2,891 (2010).
"Fortunately for us we have maintained a steady flow of business during the last few years of turmoil and it is steadily getting better. And we are looking for a better year in 2012," Yoder said.
The Kropf company has been in Goshen since 1946 and employs about 50 people. Yoder is the third generation of family ownership.
Kropf explained the realities of the current buying patterns for the industry.
"People who have the money can get them," he said. "People who want to finance them have a more difficult time."
Dave Mockler, sales executive at Dutch Park, said the company displayed three models at the show, two 12-foot-wide models and one 81/2-foot wide model. And the interest from the dealers who stopped by were positive, he said.
"We have had a really good response from dealers this year," he said. "I think we have had a better year this year than last and some signs show we will have an even better year next year."
Larry Weaver, Dutch Park sales manager, added, "There is not as many people as we would like here. I think the open houses we had up in Elkhart County have put the crimp on us here."

Several years ago, Smith Optics revolutionized goggles, introducing the first rimless interchangeable goggle in the world. Several years of innovation and domination brings us skiers and snowboarders to the next level, the IO7. Smith has topped their already amazing goggle series with the I/07 Goggles. While other companies have sacrificed fit, flexibility, and ventilation to incorporate more parts, increased weight, and unnecessary gimmicks, the I/O7 is the ultimate in minimalist performance. Single pivot quick release, AirEvac integration technology, and perfected facial geometry are just a small portion of what makes these goggles so amazing. The I/O7 is forging a new path forward in rimless interchangeability goggle technology.
The Smith I/O7 goggle is set to lead the new precedent for high-end goggles in the snowboard and ski industry. With a huge variety of lenses to choose from, you can't go wrong selecting the right Smith I/O7 snowboard goggle for yourself. The Smith I/O7 ski goggle is super easy to swap out the lens, all you have to do is rotate one tab and the lens slides out with ease. Each Smith I/O7 snow goggle contains a spare lens for variable light conditions. Weather conditions are constantly changing whenever you're skiing or snowboarding, and having that spare lens for that cloudy day becoming sunny, or that sunny day that turns to total flat-light, you can be prepared for whatever mother nature throws at you.
Here are Norse Snowboarding, we carry one of the largest selections of Smith Goggles on the internet. Smith is a quality brand that we are happy to represent. Our most popular sellers are the new large sized Smith I/OX goggle, the most advanced Smith I/O7 goggle, the famous Smith I/O goggle, and the smaller version the Smith I/OS goggle.
MADE IN THE USA!Smith's first goggles were hand-built out of the back of Dr. Bob Smith's van over 45 years ago. Since those humble beginnings, Smith hasn't strayed far from those snowy parking lots. To this day, Smith designs each of its products from its offices in Sun Valley, Idaho, and continues to build each goggle by hand at their factory in Clearfield, Utah. Smith is proud to continue Bob Smith's legacy of building and testing product in our own backyard. Made in the USA.LIFETIME WARRANTYBuilt on a heritage of innovation and superior quality, Smith offers extraordinary performance, style, and craftsmanship in every product we make.

Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design
Caty Fairclough March 21, 2016
When designing tall, slender truss towers topped with heavy loads, engineers may want to account for buckling. This requires calculating the critical compressive load of the structure at hand. Simulation is a time- and cost-efficient way to generate such results. Now, with simulation apps, this process is becoming even faster. Those without simulation expertise can easily run their own tests to calculate the critical compressive load for different truss tower configurations.Read More

When you think of a stout beer, one type that may come to mind is Guinness® beer. This stout is very special, noticeable by its dark body and famous white head. The dynamics of the foam alone are interesting enough to write a series of blog posts about. Although I don't drink Guinness® beer (I'm a fan of IPA), I found the longstanding debate about whether its bubbles are rising or sinking while the beer settles makes an interesting simulation.Read More

Thermal curing is the process of temperature-induced chemical change in a material, such as the polymerization of a thermoset resin. This process is relevant, for example, when a precursor resin is heated and hardens during the manufacturing of composites. You can often assume that the material does not flow during curing, which simplifies the analysis. Thermal curing is very easy to model within the core functionality of COMSOL Multiphysics, as we will show in this blog post.Read More

Over the 10th through 18th centuries, the sound holes in violins evolved from a circular shape to an elongated f shape. In a recent research paper, MIT scientists and violin makers from the North Bennet Street School in Boston investigated the effects of this change in shape. They suggest that the f-shaped holes increase the air flow, making the bass notes of the violin twice as loud. Today, we will reproduce their findings with COMSOL Multiphysics.Read More

Geothermal heat pumps offer an environmentally friendly option for heating modern, well-insulated homes. Oftentimes, many configurations are explored before deciding on the most effective ground heat recovery system. Simulation tools like COMSOL Multiphysics can be used to analyze different iterations to ensure an optimal final design. With the introduction of easy-to-use simulation apps, such modifications no longer require the skills of a simulation expert. Instead, colleagues can investigate design changes, run their own simulations, and evaluate results.Read More

Characterizing magnetic behavior is crucial when designing magnetic devices involving ferromagnetic materials. Different materials (or the same material after certain processes) can react differently to the same stimulus and improper characterization can cause device failure. COMSOL Multiphysics® software version 5.2 expands the current support for describing magnetic materials and defines access to material models through external routines. Here, we demonstrate how this new functionality works in a case featuring hysteresis and review the current opportunities for modeling ferromagnetic materials.Read More

Pressure vessels are designed to confine liquids or gases. These containers are used in nuclear plants, the chemical and petroleum industries, and even as water heaters in homes. In principle, the vessels' internal pressure is much higher (or sometimes lower) than the ambient pressure, so the vessels must be carefully designed, as failure can result in severe damage. Today, we'll explain how to use the Application Builder in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to create an efficient and accurate design workflow.Read More

Have you ever had a set of nonuniformly distributed points in a Cartesian plane that sample a surface height, such as points on the contours of a map or data points representing some material property data? If so, you probably also wanted to reconstruct, or interpolate, a continuous and smooth surface between these points. You can construct such a surface using the core capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics by using Radial Basis Functions. Let's find out how…Read More

There is one specific point in Kenyon's blog post that really stuck with me, and it has to do with competition and price. "Of course there is a significant benefit for users who do not select Ubuntu or another Linux distribution," Kenyon writes, "The price of XP crashed last year due to competition. So even if you bought a netbook last year with XP - feel free to smile when you see an Ubuntu PC. It's amazing what an open market can achieve." Rarely do I agree so thoroughly with salesmen (which he effectively is). Competition and choice are always good in these types of markets.
Of course, the infamous return rate element gets a thorough mention. In the original LeBlanc post, it is stated that Linux netbooks see much higher return rates than Windows netbooks. Kenyon doesn't actually refute that, but he does make a very snide comment towards OEMs shipping crappy implementations of Linux on their netbooks - one of the most-often heard complaints on OSNews. "The really big news for the industry is that well-engineered Linux netbooks have similar return rates to XP," he writes [emphasis added], "What makes a real difference to return rates is not whether it's Linux or not, but the quality of the device's hardware and the ability to fully partake in web and media experiences."
Kenyon makes a very good point here. Many implementations of Linux on netbooks are downright awful, but that's not solely the fault of OEMs. Linux distributors and their parent companies will have to be more active in educating OEMs about Linux. In fact, I think at least the major Linux distributors should band together, and provide a central place for OEMs to get information and help regarding Linux.
I already addressed the issue of hardware support in our original coverage of Microsoft's blog post. Microsoft implied that Linux' hardware support is inferior to that of Windows, but that's downright nonsense, of course, and Kenyon agrees. "Ubuntu and most Linux distributions support over 3000 printers over 1000 digital cameras, and over 200 webcams. It also supports them without the need to search for drivers on dubious websites or load drivers from a CD. Just plug and play."
Microsoft would be wise to shut people like LeBlanc up. If you want to compete with Linux, then do so by improving your product (like they are doing with Windows 7), but don't resort to the FUD tactics of yore.

Chocolate has been part of Latin American culture for 2,000 years. Today, most Latin American cultures serve hot chocolate with tamales during the Christmas season.
In Guatemala, Claudia Mariela and her family live in the community of El Chocolate, so of course, chocolate is part of their lives.
Claudia is the mother of six children, three of whom are sponsored in CFCA's Hope for a Family program.
Watch this video of Claudia Mariela making Guatemalan hot chocolate, then try making your own using this easy recipe.
Hot chocolate (makes about 2 quarts)
- 2 7-oz. bars of drinking chocolate (brands such as Ibarra and Abuelita can be found at Hispanic markets)
- 2 quarts of water
- Cinnamon sticks (optional)
- Milk and sugar (optional)
Bring the water to a full, rolling boil.
While the water is coming to a boil, chop up the chocolate or grind it in a blender or food processor. This will help the chocolate dissolve faster. You can also just add the chocolate as is from the box.
Add the chocolate to the boiling water. Stir constantly until the chocolate is dissolved.
Add milk, cinnamon sticks and sugar according to your taste. This chocolate is so rich that you don't have to add milk.
Lower the heat to medium and continue cooking until well blended, about 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Serve piping hot with tamales. Make your own Christmas tamales.

Commissioners back 'prevailing wage' reform
SMETHPORT – The McKean County Board of Commissioners went on record Tuesday in favor of state legislation to reform the "prevailing wage" act.Commissioners Joe DeMott, Al Pingie and Cliff Lane endorsed legislation that boosts the "threshold" for "prevailing wage" projects from $25,000 to $185,000.Under the current law adopted in 1961, contractors bidding on municipal projects must agree to pay "prevailing wages" to their workers if the project cost is $25,000 or more. According to the county resolution, "prevailing wage requirements can increase the cost of many middle-range projects, generally by 10 to 15 percent depending on the region" and "as much as 20 to 30 percent in some rural areas."The resolution claims that some municipal projects "simply will not get done" because of the higher costs linked with prevailing wages."McKean County would be able to undertake several projects without prevailing wages if the threshold were increased to $185,000 to adjust for inflation," the resolution reads.The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania also is supporting the legislation to raise the threshold for "prevailing wage" projects.DeMott said the increase in the threshold for "prevailing wage" projects would "save us a lot of money." He said the county would "have more bidders" without the prevailing wage clause in the bidding rules for smaller projects.Pingie said it would be "a positive move" to raise the prevailing wage threshold. He said he believes small projects would become "more affordable" without the prevailing wage requirement.Lane said that raising the threshold for prevailing wage jobs is "long overdue."In other business at the 10-minute meeting at the county courthouse, the commissioners:*Adopted a new "safety policy statement" covering safety and health program activities for county employees. DeMott said the county's insurance carrier requests the adoption of the statement every four years.*Approved an application from Bradford Township for the use of $11,275 in county fuel tax aid. The applicant plans to use the money to "chip and seal various township roads."See full article by purchasing the March 7 edition of The Kane Republican.

B-day present for my niece
Added Apr 22, 2012
by jadedrabbit
Toronto, Canada
Just a simple bag made from nylon and cotton. My niece is at that age when toys are still fun but big girl stuff seem all the better. The bag is about 17″ × 20″ (the flap can fold over the top or not). Where it's a purse size for an adult it's more of a travel bag for a 10 year old. There's also a zippered pocket on the side for important things. I found the lining fabric at SuperBuzzy.com. The red nylon is left over from another bag I made a long time ago. I trimmed the strap for the bag with the lining. She just loves it and uses it all the time. Mostly for sleep-overs and taking books back and forth to the library. The pattern is from a japanese pattern book.
