Marc Trestman scheduled his first training camp test for the Bears on Thursday morning.
Only he refused to call it a test.
So, the first test for Bears players is understanding the gobbledygook coming out of the new coach.
Players knew they would face three sets of 300-yard shuttles. Goal line to the 50 and back, goal line to the 50 and back, goal line to the 50 and back. Sounds like a test to me. Sounds like a pretty demanding fitness test, in fact.
But not to Trestman. In his weirdly worded world, it's an "accountability exercise." Jay Cutler called it a test. Trestman called it team-building.
Lot of hooey, is what it is.
The players know it's a test. The public knows it's a test. Even Trestman knows it's a test. Trestman is testing the fitness level of his players. They're either ready or not. They win or they lose, just like every play, just like every game. The NFL is all about identifying a winner and a loser at every moment. It's all very Darwinian, but Trestman seems to be working from the script of an afternoon special on this one.
Trestman, it seemed, was hoping that a player who failed would feel guilty about letting down his teammates. Or perhaps Trestman would hope the guys who passed would apply peer pressure on those who fell out.
If everybody passed, then Trestman likely would view it as each player's being a good teammate and taking responsibility to be fit and ready to perform for the rest of his teammates.
Call me a cynic, but I think players will view it as "thank goodness I passed that.'' The operative word is "I.'' No player will say, "Thank goodness we passed this. Go, us. Yeah, team. Sis-boom-bah.''
Of course it's a test. Everything in the NFL is a test. Everything at every time. The self-serious NFL refuses to have it any other way.
I mean, the best coach in the league is regarded to be Bill Belichick, even though he hasn't won a Super Bowl in almost a decade, or since Charlie Weis left, and we've seen how that gasbag has galumphed about the country since, so how much of a genius could Belichick be?
No matter. He's regarded as the best coach and he has had a personality-ectomy, so, the rest of the league figures it has to work 24/7, right, Phil Emery, because somehow Belichick is cheating to get ahead of them.
I know Trestman is a smart guy. I know he's a thinker, but this is out-thinking yourself for no good reason. "Accountability exercise"' sounds like something that makes players' eyes roll or glaze over. In a player's world, accountability is earning a paycheck, which is easier to do when he can understand the coach without the aid of closed captioning.
"Team building"' is corporate hooey. Team building in the NFL comes from winning. Period. Next.
No player believes this kind of drill is team building. Deep down, players don't believe training camp practices are team building because they know the coach can cut them at any time. We're talking about 90 independent contractors trying to get more work from the foreman.
Call it what it is. It's a test, and if you call it a test, you give players something they can understand and something they can win at the start of camp. Sounds like a couple wins for the coach, too.

A member of New Orleans Southern Yacht Club, George (Buddy) Friedrichs with crew Barton Jahncke and Gerald Schreck sailed their wooden Dragon Williwaw (US 231) to a gold medal win at the 1968 Olympics in Alcapulco, Mexico. A picture of this historically significant boat hangs in the bar of Southern's new club house (the original structure burned during hurricane Katrina). Currently, Williwaw is being restored in Texas and will not only sail again, but race with the North American fleet.

Wolcott smash, STORYTIME, polls, and 720 other words
If you haven't seen Wolcott play since last year, then, boy, are you in for a surprise.
The Eagles were a finesse team that was a bit on the small side last year. They looked to spread teams out in order to get their players in space.
This season, Wolcott can pound the ball right at opponents because it's bigger and stronger.
"I'm glad you're saying that because I still think we're small," Eagles coach Jason Pace told reporters after his team hammered Woodland of Beacon Falls Saturday, 54-12. "Our guys really bought into the weight room this offseason, and they continue to get better.
"I still think we're among the smaller teams in the NVL, but we try to use that to our advantage. We try to employ and offense and defense that utilizes our strengths."
The win earned Wolcott (8-1) a berth in the CIAC Class M playoffs. It is the second year in a row it has qualified, and for just the second time in program history.
Senior quarterback Mike Nicol and junior running back Joe Lynch punished Woodland. Nicol ran 20 times for 191 yards and a touchdown. Lynch, a transfer from defending CIAC Class S champion Holy Cross of Waterbury, ran 17 times for 129 yards and a touchdown.
"Every day at 7 p.m. o'clock in the morning in the summer we were lifting," Nicol said. "We knew we had one of the smaller offensive lines last year. We were one of the smaller teams. We knew we had to get bigger and stronger and faster. And that's what we put our offseason into."
Nicol also completed 8 of 11 passes for 120 yards and four touchdowns.
The game was expected to be a battle between two of the NVL's top teams. Woodland (6-2) had already clinched the Copper Division and will play unbeaten Brass champion Ansonia for the league title Thursday.
The Hawks averaged 45 points through seven games and were led by quarterback Tanner Kingsley. Kingsley had thrown for 502 yards and eight touchdowns in a 56-30 win over Naugatuck on Oct. 26. It was the second-most touchdowns thrown in a game in state high school history.
Kingsley completed 22 of 32 passes for 162 yards against Wolcott with two touchdowns and three interceptions. That was as many picks as he had thrown all season. He was also sacked three times.
"Coach set up a different defense that just had five in the box," senior linebacker James Nelson said. "Have everyone (else) drop back and cover."
Pace said, "We knew how tough their offense was to defend. What we did was we just tried to mix things up. At times we sent pressure. At times, we dropped into some coverage. We changed our coverages our every play. We tried to just make him uncomfortable as far as his reads and also get some pressure on him."
Wolcott concludes its regular season at Holy Cross on Thanksgrabbing.

Next week I am going to a meeting in Switzerland for SESAME, which I happen to think is the most exciting and revolutionary scientific undertaking that practically nobody outside of the scientific community has ever heard of.
What is it and why do I think it is so radical and so important?
The first question is easy.
SESAME actually stands for 'Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East' and will be the region's first major multi-country scientific research center. It's being developed under the auspices of UNESCO and is scheduled to open fully in Jordan in 2015. When it is completed, SESAME will be the Middle East's only source of so-called "high intensity synchrotron X-rays," key building blocks for research into biology, archaeology, and medical sciences.
Why do I think this is so revolutionary? Two reasons, really. First you have to look at the countries that have come together to collaborate on the project. The current members of SESAME include Israel, Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, and the Palestinian Authority along with Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, and Jordan. (The United States, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Portugal, Russian Federation, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom are all official observers.)
Is there another program underway that has managed to place all these countries together in the same room to work together and share resources? I can't think of one. Frankly, I'm not sure anything even comes close to what SESAME is doing. So, beyond the obvious value of any particular scientific inquiry, the program demonstrates that people from these countries can and are working together, which gives us reason to believe we might eventually derive political benefits. SESAME represents a unique opportunity to establish the working relationships that can help lay the foundation for effective dialogue across the Middle East.
And then there are the economic benefits. Frankly, I believe SESAME is one of the region's most promising attempts to develop its economy and create new opportunities for local scientists, engineers, students and entrepreneurs.
See, for years now, one of the region's greatest challenges has been a major "brain drain" whereby its best workers and most gifted scientists move away to seek opportunities in more developed areas.
But I think SESAME can help reverse this trend. By providing world class facilities in the region, the center will attract and support the Middle East's best and brightest scientists, giving them all the reason they need to stay where they are and contribute to the region's growth and development. SESAME has already provided well-paid jobs in Jordan for more than 20 engineers, and with its frequent training sessions, has given more than 400 scientists from member countries new skills for peaceful purposes.
Now, to be honest, a lot of work remains to make sure SESAME opens on time, and many millions are still needed to complete construction. But much progress is being made -- just last month, Iran, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey agreed to make contributions of $5 Million USD to SESAME over the next four years -- and I am confident that SESAME will raise the remaining $15 million needed to finish construction. Moreover, the scientific benefits of SESAME to the region are already being realized, with such diverse partners as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), US Department of Energy, and CERN offering important synchrotron training opportunities to the future users of SESAME.
As the U.S. Ambassador to UNESCO, I could not be prouder of my association with SESAME and look forward to the day it gets the recognition is so justly deserves.

Ian Somerhalder Wants Damon Salvatore to Go Green
He already does more than his fair share to make the world a greener place, and now Ian Somerhalder is ready to take his activism to another realm — the TV!
The actor says that it's time for Damon Salvatore, the neck-biting character he plays on "The Vampire Diaries," to go green. He points out that the show's set is eco-friendly and utilizes compostable bowls and flatware, and now he's ready for his character to follow suit.
For starters, Somerhalder says that Damon needs to rethink his ride, a 1967 Camaro (remember when Damon and Elena took it road tripping to Atlanta?). He told E! News that Damon should upgrade to something sexy and eco-friendly, like a Fisker Karma.
"The Camaro is a cool car, but you stand behind the exhaust too long and you get sick," Somerhalder says. "Damon has a lot of means to get the car. It looks like a Camaro, but it's bigger and more beautiful and it's completely green. It's electric for the first 50 miles! You'll have to fill your tank like two times a year!"
While the thought of Damon worrying about the planet might seem a little out of character at first, Somerhalder's reasons for the vampire going green actually make a lot of sense.
"You have this guy who's lived almost two centuries," he said. "And he realizes, I'm stuck here for the next millennium. I've watched the degradation of our earth and our planet, watched the population grow. I have to be around for the next thousand years, I might as well take care of the place. Plus, this car is as sexy as hell."
Of course, Damon is TVD's resident bad boy, so not all of his green initiatives are going people-friendly, even if they do benefit the planet. "Damon eats people," Somerhalder points out. "It's like population control."
What do you think? Are you ready to see eco-activism become the next character arc for Damon? Or does he have his hands full with his contant pursuit of Elena and his fight against the Originals?

Killzone: Shadow Fall Trailers: New Multiplayer DLC
The war between the ISA and the Helghast rages on with this new multiplayer downloadable content for Killzone: Shadow Fall.
A post on the PlayStation Blog by Samrat Sharma, Senior Online Producer at Guerrilla Games, heralds in the first multiplayer DLC expansion, which is being called The Insurgent Pack.
The expansion will include a new Character Class, three new abilities, three new weapons and two new game modes.
As you might have guessed from the name of the expansion, the new Character Class is The Insurgent, a character that can Hack and Steal. Though he's only armed with a pistol in the beginning, he's able to steal weapons and hack enemy machines to fight for him.
The three new abilities being introduced are the E-Pulse emitter, the Tactical Echo emitter and the Guard Drone for the Scout, Support and Assault classes respectively. Players can also expect to find the classic M82 assault rifle, the L512 SMG Pistol and the Sta 14 Rifle included as the new weapons in the expansion.
To add more of a challenge to the game, a single-player Elite Mode is being added, as well as new online collectibles that appear in crates, one per match for Insurgent Expansion holders.
Of course, what DLC would be complete without personalization options. In this pack, you'll get one OWL skin, 3 Spotlight Moves and one Voice Over pack with HGH and VSA battle chatter voices. This will all be available in April for around $9.99, or free with the Season Pass.
For those of you who want more content but don't want to spend more money, there are a few free multiplayer maps coming for you, called The Cruiser and The Hanger, which are highlighted in the videos above and below.

Somehow we've let the election season come to a close without thanking both parties for making this an 100% H&Co election. Continuing the signature voice of its 2008 campaign, Obama for America kept Gotham as its typographic keystone, this year adding our Sentinel typeface as a companion slab serif. The GOP chose fonts from us as well, the Romney campaign settling on Mercury for its serif and Whitney for its sans.
We'd especially like to thank the teams at Obama for America and Blue State Digital for making us a part of their outstanding work on Barackobama.com. Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that webfonts from H&Co made their first appearance on that site earlier this year, an especially meaningful milestone for all of us. It's not often that your first beta tester is the President of the United States.
If the coming days bring a bitter electoral challenge, or the next four years bring the nation continuing deadlock on Capitol Hill, Americans will know exactly who to blame: typeface designers. According to this study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, bad typography may be useful in softening the stance of the politically extreme. The theory is that awkward or uncomfortable typography disrupts a reader's "confirmation bias," one's tendency to only see things that are agreeable. What amateur typography might do for a candidate's credibility is anyone's guess, and whether the study's choice of Times Bold really counts as an acceptable control for "good typography" remains an open question. But I look forward to the 2016 election, in which the honorable grunge candidate will face off against his esteemed colleague using Comic Sans. —JH

There was a time, not long ago, when Indonesian writer and editor Goenawan Mohamad was devoting much of his time to poetry, literature and quiet political organizing. His days of high-pressure journalism and tight weekly deadlines ended when the government banned his highly regarded weekly magazine, Tempo, in 1994 and left him to other pursuits.
He became a symbol of resistance to the regime and found himself at the center of a community of journalists, activists, artists and students bound together by what often seemed a quixotic struggle against the seemingly unassailable leadership of President Suharto. Tempo, which Mohamad, 57, founded in 1971 and built into a profitable, widely respected 200,000 circulation news weekly--Indonesia's version of Time Magazine--was becoming a distant memory. There seemed little chance that Suharto would ever allow it to publish again.
Then came Indonesia's abrupt economic collapse, widespread rioting and Suharto's May 21 resignation; what had been one of Southeast Asia's most prosperous nations appeared headed for chaos. Military rule seemed likely or, worse, civil disintegration under Suharto's hand-picked successor, Bacharudin Jusuf (B.J.) Habibie, a technocrat and long-time Suharto loyalist.
For Goenawan Mohamad who is a recipient of a 1998 International Press Freedom Award from the Commitee to Protect Journalists--and many of Indonesia's journalists, however, a funny thing happened on the way to calamity. They are back in the magazine business. For all of its dire troubles, Indonesia suddenly has one of the freest presses in Asia and the Habibie government has put few, if any, restrictions on publications.
This new found freedom seems all the more real with the relaunch of Tempo in October. Back from publiishing purgatory, Tempo's relaunch party on October 4 was a full-blown social event in Jakarta, drawing some 2000 journalists, politicians, government ministers and diplomats to the celebration. The innaugural issue wasted little time attempting to carve out a niche for serious reporting with a cover story titled: "Rape: Fact and Fiction" that delved into the controversy surrounding the rapes of Chinese women during the May rioting.
Mohamad's quiet days are now officially over. He is back as editorial chief and most of his staff have returned to the magazine after a four-year diaspora. Expectations for the new magazine are high. The new Tempo must recreate a magazine that is a distant memory for its former readers even as it remains an important symbol of the new openness. It will face an economic climate that has seen advertising revenues shrink precipitously and the cost of newsprint soar. It will also face plenty of competition from new publications eager and able to investigate the sins of the past regime and the shortcomings of the current one.
"The odds are that Indonesia will remain in a chaotic situation for some time to come. Violence will be a constant threat and we will become the sick man of Asia. That frightens me and saddens me." said Mohamad as he reflected on the mission of Tempo shortly before the relaunch. "The most likely thing the press could contribute is to develop a culture of transparency and accountability in the the government. Tempo will hopefully become a place that will defend and expand our freedoms."
When Tempo was banned in 1994, the proximate cause was a
story about an internal government split over the purchase of 39 former
East German warships placed by Habibie, who at the time was Research
and Technology Minister. Suharto was reportedly furious that the
magazine had dared to air a cabinet controversy in public and the
Ministry of Information moved quickly to revoke the magazine's license.
Ironically, though, with Habibie in charge, the government told Mohamad and others early on that there would be no problem reopening the magazine. Within ten days of taking power, Habibie's Information Minister, Lt. Gen. Mohamad Yunus was assuring the press that the days of strict limitations were over. "We saw him and he told us, you can reopen anytime," says Fikri Jufri, the former and current Managing Editor of Tempo. "I was shocked."
Yunus has confounded skeptics in the press with his attitudes. A former special forces commander who was responsible for security in disputed East Timor when five foreign television journalists were killed there during the Indonesian invasion in 1975, he is now a born again believer in a free press. By September he had signed some 180 new publication licenses and he is pushing for the removal of all restrictions on the press. "I want to see more publications in Indonesia," he said during an interview in his office. "I really do believe that such a thing will provide more information and it will build the creativity of the people."
Regardless of the government's attitude, the decision to relaunch Tempo was a difficult one for Mohamad and others involved. The loose network of former Tempo employees and others affiliated with the independent press movement in Indonesia were consulted, long meetings were held. Some argued that Tempo should remain a part of history and that new publications should take its place. Others insisted that the Tempo name was too important to allow it to die. And already Detak, a fiery tabloid banned at the same time as Tempo, had reopened; it seemed that Tempo had a duty to publish.
Complicating matters further, many former Tempo editors and reporters had settled in at other publications or changed careers. To reopen the magazine would inevitably cause some dislocation, especially to those involved with D&R, a magazine owned by the Tempo group which had switched from detective and romance stories to a political format after the Tempo banning. In the last year, D&R came into its own under editor Bambang Bujono, another Tempo veteran, by challenging the Suharto regime with critical coverage and being threatened with closure in March for a controversial cover that depicted Suharto as a King of Spades playing card.
But in order to make way for Tempo and to avoid any potential conflict of interest in the group, D&R was sold to the Jakarta Post newspaper group. Half of its thirty reporters are moving to Tempo, with the blessing of editor Bujono, who nonetheless seemed wistful as he contemplated the loss of his staff. "This is a publication that sides with the people, that is for the people," he said of D&R. "I am staying because I want to keep this magazine going."
The controversy and the dislocation aside, given what Tempo means for Indonesian journalism, there is little Goenawan Mohamad could have done but reopen. With Tempo back on the stands, there is a sense of normalcy to the remarkable journalistic rebirth in Jakarta. The challenge for Mohamad and his staff will be to produce a magazine that reflects this difficult and exciting time in Indonesia.
It is a challenge Mohamad is keenly aware of. "After Suharto left, there was an eagerness to bring it back on the part of many journalists but others said Tempo was something of a legend, and that it should stay that way," Mohamad says. "This makes our task difficult. It is not easy to create a legend every week."

The Treasury Department Inspector General's report on the IRS's discriminatory treatment of applicants for 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) status has been released; you can read it here. In general, the report doesn't add much to what has already been reported about its contents. This graphic shows the criteria that were being used to identify "potential political cases" as of June 2011:
The report says, as has been reported, that the IRS asked numerous applicants for information about their donors:
The report doesn't say what, if anything, the IRS did with donor information, but it is hard to see what purpose the request could have other than to allow harassment of donors to conservative groups, as, for example, through audits.
The most significant new development today came not from the report, the contents of which were already pretty well known, but rather from the revelation that IRS personnel improperly shared pending applications submitted by conservative groups with a left-wing media organization, Pro Publica:
The progressive-leaning investigative journalism group ProPublica says the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) office that targeted and harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave the progressive group nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt status was pending. …
ProPublica says the documents the IRS gave them were "not supposed to be made public."
That didn't stop Pro Publica from publicizing them, of course, in articles like this one: "Karl Rove's Dark Money Group Promised IRS It Would Spend 'Limited' Money on Elections." While the IG's report goes rather easy on the IRS in terms of assessing motive, the improper distribution of pending applications to a left-wing ally makes it clear that IRS personnel were trying to help the Democratic Party.

|The Library of Congress > American Memory
|Susan B. Anthony Collection
The Susan B. Anthony Collection includes printed speeches, pamphlets, convention proceedings, serials, and scrapbooks that document the formative years of the suffrage movement and complement the personal papers held in the Manuscript Division. Particularly illuminating is Anthony's annotated copy of An Account of the Proceedings on the Trial of Susan B. Anthony, on the Charge of Illegal Voting, at the Presidential Election in Nov. 1872 (Rochester, N.Y., 1874; JK1899.A6 A5 Anthony) [full item], which documents Anthony's efforts to test the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as to whether it guaranteed universal suffrage.
The collection is of interest both to those investigating the history of the movement and those interested in Anthony herself. Anthony's scrapbooks are particularly significant as they chronicle the history and progress of the suffrage movement and demonstrate the gradual change in public opinion from 1848 to 1900 through newspaper clippings, programs, trial reports, letters, and memorabilia. Thirty-three volumes of Anthony's scrapbooks, as well as one volume compiled by her sister, Mary Anthony, are also available on microfilm (Microfilm 42106 MicRR .
Many of Anthony's 272 books are inscribed to her by the author or donor and later by her to the Library of Congress. Her inscriptions highlight the importance of the book in her life and work. For example, Anthony's copy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh (New York and Boston: C.S. Francis & Co., 1857; PR4185.A1 1857a Anthony) , celebrating a woman's choice of career over marriage, was given to her by her mother. Anthony notes that she had carried it about in her satchel, read and reread it, and "always cherished it above all other books."
Anthony's inscriptions include comments about her niece and "right hand" assistant Rachel Foster Avery, as well as Lydia Maria Child, Paulina Davis, Frances Ellen Harper, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman [full item]. Elizabeth Cady Stanton inscribed her autobiography, Eighty Years and More (New York: European Publishing Co., 1898; JK1899.S7 A3 c. 3 Anthony) , to Anthony in a bold hand: "We cement our friendship of half a century with an exchange of our autobiographies . . . 1899."5[Top]

By popular demand, the Independence Days Challenge is back! Every Friday from February - September we are challenged to work on our skill set. Anyone can join in!
The categories and my responses:
Plant something: A lot of us were trained to think of planting as done once a year, but if you start seeds, do season extension and succession plant, you'll get much, much more out of your garden, so I try and plant something every day from February into September.
Plant something:
-started more seeds:
Harvest something: Everything counts – from the milk and eggs you get from your animals to the first dandelions from your yard to 50 bushels of tomatoes – it all counts.
Harvest something:
Wild greens: chickweed, nettles, dandelion, chicory
red clover blossoms
Rose petals
thistle stalks
Preserve something: Again, I find preserving is most productive if I try and do a little every day that there is anything, from the first dried raspberry leaves and jarred rhubarb to the last squashes at the end of the season.
Preserve something:
-Drying red clover blossoms
-Make Rose Petal Syrup
Waste not: Reducing food waste, composting everything or feeding it to animals, reducing your use of disposables and creation of garbage, reusing things that would otherwise go to waste, making sure your preserved and stored foods are kept in good shape – all of these count.
Waste Not:
-Fed chickens, dog and cats scraps; composted unfeedable scraps
-free range grazing the sheep and tethering the goats (about 6 weeks earlier than usual, i completely forgot this one...we have an entire round bale of hay left)
-gave turkeys, chicks, ducklings soured milk
Want Not: Adding to your food storage or stash of goods for emergencies, building up resources that will be useful in the long term.
Want Not:
-Picked up bulk food order: Rye berries, Rye flour, amaranth, demerrara sugar, kidney beans, black beans, split peas, lemon juice, cocoa powder
Eat the Food: Making full and good use of what you have, making sure that you are getting everything you can from your food, trying new recipes and new cooking ideas, eating out of your storage!
Eat the Food:
-eating lots of eggs and milk
-hard boiled eggs, deviled eggs

Bhutan is a small country in the Himalayas between the Tibet Autonomous Region of China and India.
Besides the stunning natural scenery, the enduring image of the country for most visitors is the strong sense of culture and tradition that binds the kingdom and clearly distinguishes it from its larger neighbors. Bhutan is the only Vajrayana Buddhist nation in the world, and the profound teachings of this tradition remain well preserved and exert a strong influence in all aspects of life. Due to its pristine environment and harmonious society, the tiny Kingdom of Bhutan has been called "The Last Shangrila."
In terms of average wage, Bhutan is a poor country, however the land is fertile and the population small, so the people are well fed, and beggars and homeless are nonexistent. In addition, the current generation receives free education, and all citizens have access to free medical care. If a patient's ailment cannot be treated in the country, then the government refers the patients to reputable hospitals abroad.The sale of tobacco products is banned (foreign tourists and NGOs are exempt, though it is illegal for them to sell tobacco to locals), and smoking in public areas is a fineable offense.
A unique aspect of Bhutan is that progress is not purely defined by economic achievements as in most countries, but also based on the level of cultural and environmental preservation and development. This ideology was the brain child of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck who, having gained a modern education in India and the UK, realized that mere economic success did not necessarily translate into a content and happy society. Consequently, soon after his coronation in 1974, the young king began to float the idea of developing a new set of guidelines by which to govern the country. Slowly these ideas took shape, and in 1998 the GNH indicator was established. GNH stands for "Gross National Happiness" and is defined by the following four objectives: to increase economic growth and development, preserve and promote the cultural heritage, encourage sustainable use of the environment, and establish good governance. Currently, work is in progress on converting the GNH from being a mere guiding principle for the country's development into a workable set of standard indicators. As a result of this more humane style of governance, Bhutan has developed high environmental protection standards (the use of plastic bags, for example, is completely banned) and a peaceful and harmonious society that actively protects its rich culture and profound Buddhist traditions. Major sources of income for the kingdom are agriculture, tourism and hydroelectric power.
Still, while Bhutan is often painted as a modern-day Shangri-La in the Western press, the country remains poor, with average life expectancy around 66 and a 7.2 per mil infant mortality rate. The kingdom became a parliamentary democracy in March 2008 upon the command of the Fourth King.
Culturally, Bhutan is predominantly Buddhist with a national language (although there are regional variations - such as Sharchopkha, the predominant language in Eastern Bhutan), and a common dress code and architectural style. Bhutanese people primarily consist of the Ngalops and Sharchops, called the Western Bhutanese and Eastern Bhutanese respectively. The Ngalops primarily consist of Bhutanese living in the western part of the country. Their culture is closely related to that of their neighbor to the north, Tibet.
The official name for the country is Druk Yul - Land of the Thunder Dragon - but due to the harmonious nature of the society, it has acquired the additional nickname of Deki Druk (Yul) - (Land of) the Peaceful Thunder Dragon.
The first humans probably arrived sometime after the Ice Age, and little is known about Bhutan's prehistory. Historical records began with the arrival of Buddhism in the 7th century, when Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) visited Bhutan and established monasteries.
In 1865, Britain and Bhutan signed the Treaty of Sinchulu, under which Bhutan would receive an annual subsidy in exchange for ceding some border land. Under British influence, a monarchy was set up in 1907; three years later, a treaty was signed whereby the British agreed not to interfere in Bhutanese internal affairs and Bhutan allowed Britain to direct its foreign affairs. This role was assumed by independent India after 1947. Two years later, a formal Indo-Bhutanese accord returned the areas of Bhutan annexed by the British, formalized the annual subsidies the country received, and defined India's responsibilities in defense and foreign relations.
In December 2006, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck transferred power to his oldest son, the Crown Prince Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, bestowing upon him the title of the fifth Druk Gyalpo. The official coronation took place in November 2008. The fifth King is Boston and Oxford educated.
Guru Rinpoche
It is not possible to travel far in Bhutan without seeing images of a man wearing a tall elaborate hat and with eyes that are open wide and staring forward into space. This is the great 8th century sage of Vajrayana Buddhism, Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche as he often called. According to legend, Padmasambhava was reincarnated into a lotus blossom as an eight year old child, and from very young he possessed great wisdom and insight. Furthermore, he had mastery of the elements and so like a potter manipulating basic clay and turning it into beautiful pots, he was able to transform harmful action and substances into something positive and beneficial.
Guru Rinpoche's special association with Bhutan began when he traveled to the town now known as Jakar at the invitation of a local king to subjugate negative forces. The mission was a success, and from this encounter Buddhism spread throughout the land. A body print of the great sage exists to this day at Kurjey Lhakhang in Jakar, and he is also associated with many other sacred sites in Bhutan, with perhaps the most notable being the cliff-hanging Taktshang Monastery in Paro.
Although the country expanse is quite small Bhutanese weather varies from location to location mainly depending upon the elevation. In the North of Bhutan on the borders with Tibet it is perennially covered with snow. In the western, central and eastern Bhutan (Ha, Paro, Thimphu, Wandue, Trongsa, Bumthang, Trashi Yangtse, Lhuntse) you will mostly experience cold European-like weather. Winter lasts here from November to March. Punakha is an exception as it is in a lower valley and summer is pretty hot but winter is pleasant. Southern Bhutan bordering with India is hot and humid with a sub-tropical climate. The monsoon is the determining factor for rain here. Spring and autumn are the best season to visit Bhutan. There are four distinct seasons similar in their divisions to those of Western Europe. The Monsoon occurs between June and August when the temperature is normally between 8° and 21°C (46°-70°F). Temperatures drop dramatically with increases in altitude. Days are usually very pleasant (average about 10°C/50°F) with clear skies and sunshine. Nights are cold and require heavy woolen clothing, particularly in winter. Generally, October, November and April to mid-June are the best times to visit – rainfall is at a minimum and temperatures are conducive to active days of sightseeing. The foothills are also very pleasant during the winter...
In addition to the above national holidays, there are also Tshechu holidays which are celebrated regionally.
Bhutan can culturally and geographically be divided into three regions, which are further divided into 20 districts or dzongkhag (singular and plural):
While Bhutanese villages are extremeley picturesque, the towns are generally characterized by their harsh concrete structures and lack of green public spaces. Notable exceptions to this generaliztion are Trashigang and Trashiyangtse, where the buildings are constructed of traditional material.
The majority of tourists do "cultural tours" where they visit important destinations in a vehicle. This allows maximum coverage of the country within a limited period of time. Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Wangdue, and Jakar are popular destinations. Further afield, the unexplored region of Zhemgang (birders paradise, excellent wildlife viewing) and Eastern Bhutan are the least visited.
Treks are the best way to see and "feel" the country. The Snowman Trek below is the toughest but there are plenty of other easy and fun hikes and treks.
Snowman Trek with Gangkar Puensum
This trek goes to the remote Lunana district and is considered to be the most difficult trek in Bhutan due to distance, altitude, weather conditions and remoteness. A very fit trekking group could tackle the final stage from Tshochenchen to Bumthang (Day 22: 21 km, 13 hours) in one day. Seasons: The Snowman Trek is frequently closed because of snow and is almost impossible during winter. The recommended season for this trek is mid-June to mid-October.
Official Site of National Parks and Protected Areas in Bhutan:
Everybody except citizens of India and Bangladesh must apply for a visa at least 30 days in advance of their proposed date of entry into Bhutan. There is no issuing of Visa on arrival. The local travel operator processes the visa on behalf of the guests. While the visa itself costs a reasonable US$20 for 14 days (extendable once), the visa will not be issued without pre-paid bookings for a tour, which costs from US$200 per person per night. These fees include room, board, guide, and transportation within Bhutan.The Airfare is not included. This policy is influenced by the Gross National Happiness (GNH) policy,whereby the country intentionally develops slowly and learns from mistakes made by other countries. This is a sustainable tourism policy whereby price controls the number of arrivals. Bhutan cannot afford to have too many tourists as it will dilute the rich and ancient tradition & culture. The very asset that attracts tourists will be soon destroyed. Although the tours are organized by private local tour operators, the cost is set & monitored by the government and so not negotiable. It is illegal to under cut prices for the tours. However, a rule of thumb is that tours are slightly cheaper during off-season (January, June, & July) and more expensive for groups of three or less. There is surcharge of $40 per night for solo travelers and $30 pp/per night for groups of two people. There is also a surcharge for luxury hotels and certain treks. The only other options for visiting the country are to receive an invitation by "a citizen of some standing" or a volunteer organization. Once the tour or invitation has received government approval, visas will be issued either by immigration at Paro airport or in Phuentsholing - basically all the work for a visa application is completed within Bhutan. There is no need to visit a Bhutanese embassy or consulate.
As travel to Bhutan almost invariably requires at least one flight change in India, Nepal, or Thailand, ensure that you can meet the visa requirements of those countries before departing on your journey. Nepal and Thailand offer visa on arrival or visa waiver for many nationalities. India generally requires visa procedures to be completed before arrival, and this can take up to two weeks.
Bhutan has a number of embassies and consulates, including those listed below .
There are only two legal entry points into Bhutan: Paro's airport, and the land border with India at Phuentsholing. A third border crossing from Samdrup Jongkhar in southeastern Bhutan into India's Assam state is open, but for exit only - see Samdrup Jongkhar - 'get out' section for more detailed information.
At Phuentsholing, Indians can visit the Immigration office to apply for a visa on entry. A photograph and Identification document (Passport, Ration card or Election ID) is needed along with a photocopy. Fill the document with purpose "Tourism" and stay location as "Any hotel". At Phuentsholing you will only get 7 days for Paro and Thimphu. For extension of duration apply in Thimphu at the Immigration office at the northern end of Norzin Lam. For visiting other districts you will need to apply for road permits at the same office. They are best applied in the morning and you will receive the document in the afternoon. In case you are defence official without a passport or a student without the above three accepted identification papers, you can request the Indian consulate further up the road to provide you an identification endorsement document but this takes time.
There are no railways in Bhutan, but a link to Phuentsholing from India is under the final stages of construction and may open in 2010. Until then, the nearest options (both in India) are:
While there are ample restaurants on highways between main towns and the hygiene standards at such places is acceptable, the quality of the food is very low and the choice of dishes limited. In addition, the dining halls offer an environment no better than a bus station waiting room. Therefore, it is generally better to prepare food and refreshment for the journey at the point of departure.

Common Languages
Rice is a staple with every meal. Vegetable or meat dishes cooked with chili and/or cheese comprise the accompanying cuisine.
Bhutanese food has one predominant flavor - chili. This small red condiment is not only added to every dish but is also often eaten raw. So, if you don't like spicy-hot food, make this abundantly clear before ordering a meal. Otherwise, you'll be spending the next hour dousing your mouth with cold yogurt or milk.
Kewa-datsi and shamu-datsi tend to be less hot that ema-datsi; all three dishes are generally served with rice.
Imtrat run canteens that sell excellent Indian dishes along with tea from 9.30AM to 4.30PM. The quality of the food is very good, while the price is low. The canteens are located throughout the country, especially along main highways.
All towns connected by motorable roads have hotels, though the standard varies considerably. International standard hotels are mostly found in tourist areas or major towns, while five star accommodation is only available in Paro, Jakar, Punakha, Gangtey and Thimphu.
It is important to note that the hotel rates shown on the city articles are only relevant to people who have residency, visa exemption (generally this only applies to Indian nationals) or who are visiting the country as an invited guest. Other visitors can only enter the country as part of a tour, for which the daily rates are set by the Bhutanese authorities at around $250 per person per night irrespective of the hotel rates (except for very expensive hotels where a surcharge is added).
Weaving - Bhutanese woven cloth is prized throughout the world for its unique designs and high quality, and there is a weaving center in Khaling in Trashigang.
There are a few NGOs based in Bhutan, so it is possible to arrange volunteer work. However, Bhutan is very selective about who it engages in this field. In addition, it is highly unlikely that a position can be found while visiting Bhutan, so those interested in undertaking volunteer work here should first seek employment with NGOs overseas and then express a preference to be located in Bhutan.

Jefferies & Co will provide $5.2 billion in term loans to back Carl Icahn's bid for computer manufacturer Dell Inc, sources told Thomson Reuters LPC.
The funding will be launched on Monday at a 4:00 p.m. lender call that the billionaire investor is expected to join, the sources said.
Continue Reading Below
The $5.2 billion is split between a $2.2 billion six-year term loan B-1 and a $3 billion three-year term loan B-2. The six-year tranche will have standard 1 percent amortization, while the shorter-dated tranche amortizes at 10 percent, they said.
Icahn declined to comment on details of the term loans on Friday.
As previously reported, initial price guidance in May was in the LIB+350 area, subject to change due to market conditions.
Earlier this week, Icahn repeated his interest in owning Dell, saying in a telephone interview with Thomson Reuters LPC on Tuesday that he was moving forward with his plans to line up $5.2 billion in credit facilities. His comments echoed statements he made earlier that day in an open letter to Dell shareholders.
"Nothing has changed regarding the financing," Icahn said in the interview. "We expect to have $5.2 billion in the next couple of weeks. Our investment bank is already committing $1.6 billion and my affiliates and I would provide $2 billion, if necessary."
Icahn's letter to Dell's shareholders came on the heels of a series of reports that Icahn could exit the Dell race after struggling to raise the $5.2 billion in debt he needed to back a leveraged recapitalization he proposed to Dell's board on May 9.
In May, Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management initiated talks with banks and asset managers to line up financing to back a leveraged recapitalization of Dell as an alternative to an existing buyout offer led by Dell and Silver Lake Partners for $13.65 a share, or $24.4 billion. Jefferies has already committed $1.6 billion.
Icahn is expected to have the financing lined up for a July 18 shareholder vote on the Silver Lake bid.
Icahn is offering a new path for shareholders. Under the May 9 leveraged recapitalization plan, Icahn proposed giving shareholders the option of receiving either a distribution of $12 per share in cash or $12 per share in stock valued at $1.65 per share. Now, Icahn is asking that Dell shareholders agree to a tender offer for 1.1 billion shares at $14 apiece in a stock buyback.
Icahn and Southeastern, which together own about 13 percent of Dell stock, argue the Dell and Silver Lake offer of $13.65 undervalues the company and that the recent numbers reported by Dell are understated.
"Despite the company using scare tactics concerning the company's health, you cannot get away from the fact that their own consulting firm, BCG, believes the company would earn $3.3 billion for 2014," Icahn said in the interview on Tuesday. "This means the 670 million shares left outstanding after our tender will earn $3.72 per share."
Dell's proposed take-private sale price has undergone several iterations starting at $11.22 to $12.16 per share, a pricing proposed by Silver Lake in October during the early stages of the take-private conversations.
In the letter, Icahn revealed he is now Dell's second-largest shareholder after Michael Dell, after he purchased half of Southeastern's Dell shares for $13.52 apiece. That brings Icahn's total ownership to 152 million shares, or 9 percent of the company's shares.
Dell shares closed on Friday down 0.1 percent at $13.35.

Dancers score big at Orange Bowl
Talk about starting the year off on the right foot. Jillian Fredette, 12, said she had the time of her life New Year's Day when she danced at the halftime show at the Orange Bowl in Miami. She was one of nine dancers from the Academy of Dance Arts in Brookfield to take part in the show.
During their four-day trip, the dancers -- all girls -- worked with choreographer Cris Judd, who has danced with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Michael Jackson. (He was also married to Lopez briefly and did choreography for her, as well as for Jackson.)
At the college football game -- which featured Northern Illinois vs. Florida State -- the girls performed Judd's choreography with about 480 students from dance schools throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Doreen Rafferty, owner of the Academy of Dance Arts, said the Brookfield studio was invited to send dancers to perform through the WorldStrides Heritage Performance Program, which runs the halftime show.
The local students performed to four songs lasting a total of eight minutes. When the girls -- who range in age from 13 to 20 -- weren't onstage, they got to watch the game. Florida State won 31-10.
During their stay at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, the girls took part in a day of dance workshops taught by renowned choreographers Travis Wall, Jamal Sims, Randi Lynn Strong, and Stacey Tookey.
More InformationAbout the show Cost of the trip was $1,600 for each girl. They helped raise money for it by holding bake sales, getting sponsors from local businesses, and seeking donations from friends and family. There were more than 72,000 people in Sun Life Stadium, where the girls performed. Participants included Jennifer Kast, Jillian Fredette, Lauren Daniska, Alysa O'Donovan, Caetlin Broadmeyer, Jennifer Correnty, Allie Paster, Arielle Zambello and Sarah Kunnemann. They danced to "The One That Got Away" by Katy Perry, "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" and "Alone With You" by Jake Owen, and "Jump" by Van Halen. Students from the Academy of Dance Arts will next perform in March at the Harlem Globetrotters' pregame or halftime show at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury. This summer they will perform at the pregame show for the Connecticut Sun (a professional women's basketball team) at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville. The Academy of Dance Arts is at 336 Federal Road in Brookfield and can be reached at 203-775-1331.
Jillian, as well as two other girls who performed in the show -- Lauren Daniska, 17, and Sarah Kunnemann, 13, both of Bethel -- discuss what their experience was like.
Q: What an exciting opportunity this must have been for all of you. How did you learn the dances?
Lauren: Cris sent out a video to us. We learned the steps at home, and practiced at the studio together. It took many hours to learn it. In Florida, we spent a total of about 20 hours working with Cris.
Q: What is Cris like in person?
Jillian: He was very funny. He made a lot of side jokes. One was "What did the sushi say to the soybean?" It said "Wasabean?"
SARAH: He really helped us with our dances and corrected us when we needed it.
Q: What was the most difficult part about learning these dances for you?
JILLIAN: I'm not a hip-hop dancer, so it was challenging to do this type of dancing.
LAUREN: The style of dancing we learned was much lower to the ground than we're used to. The moves were looser.
Q: What was one thing you learned from this experience?
Lauren: Cris would often say "It's not the reason, it's the intention." By this he means dancing is not just about making the motions. You want to convey the meaning behind your moves, the story you're telling, and what you're trying to portray as a dancer.
SARAH: I got to learn from all the other dancers that were there, while we were in the workshops. There are so many dancing styles that are taught, depending on where you study.
Q: Is dancing in all of your futures?
Lauren: In the fall I'll begin the dance program at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. I want to be a professional dancer.
SARAH: I want to be a ballet dancer. Ballet teaches your body how to balance with breathing techniques, and when you get stressed or upset it helps you calm down.
JILLIAN: I would like to be a dance teacher and own a dance studio.

Behind The Design: Lakeside Family Cottage
When a home's interior is just a stunning as its lakeside view, the 'behind the design' details are a must. In an exclusive interview with Carpet One Floor & Home, Sara Bederman is disclosing everything we're dying to know.
What were your clients' needs for this space?
Situated as part of a lakeside family compound, it was vital that this cottage be designed with hard working, practical finishes that didn't compromise on design.
Were there any challenges designing this space?
The architecture of the home is very contemporary and the main floor of the cottage is open concept. It has soaring ceilings and over-sized sliding door systems. All of these architectural elements made it challenging to create an intimate interior.
Do you have any special considerations or requirements when creating?
The interior of the home had to be family-friendly and also needed to accommodate heavy use from guests and other family member on the compound. It is a busy place!
How does the flooring play into your design?
We chose the vinyl flooring for its obvious durability. We wanted the finish to look like the trunks of the evergreen trees viewed through the gorgeous windows by the lake.
What makes this room functional? (hidden storage, convertible pieces, flow, etc.)
The space and furniture plan makes this room functional for how the clients use their home. They had a large playroom on the lower level so what was important on the main floor was to have ample seating for family gatherings.
Why did you choose these colors?
We were inspired by the colors in nature when we specified fabrics and furniture.
What is your favorite aspect of this room?
The barn board treatment on the walls is my absolute favorite part of the interior.
What did your client like the most?
Our client loved the texture of the barn board and granite slab finish on the fireplace wall.
