The polling and other data and all the smart people watching the election gave Rep. Paul Ryan an optimistic view on the night of last week's election. When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost, his running mate felt "a bit of a shock."
"Going into Boston that day, we felt like we had a pretty darn good chance of winning," Ryan told ABC News in an interview broadcast Tuesday. "So as you can imagine, it was a bit of a shock when we didn't win, but that's just the way these things go."
Ryan said President Barack Obama deserves to be congratulated for having "a fantastic ground game."
"He won fair and square," Ryan said of Obama. "He got more votes, and that's the way our system works, and so he ought to be congratulated for that."
Had he been at the top of the ticket, Ryan said, he would have run exactly the kind of campaign that Romney oversaw. Ryan said he and Romney "felt very good about the race we ran."
Ryan, who was re-elected to an eighth term in the House, returned to the Capitol on Tuesday to resume his duties as House Budget Committee chairman.
"There's an upside to losing," Ryan said, "which is a reconnection with my family." He said he had already attended basketball and volleyball games in which his children — he has two sons and a daughter — were playing and looked forward to taking his daughter deer hunting.
"Bad news: Dad lost. The good news: They get to stay at the same school," he said. "That was the upside of all this. The downside is we didn't win the election that we really wanted to win."

It's the first time the Paralympics have been held in South Korea. The Winter Olympics were just held there last month. PyeongChang Olympic Stadium is hosting the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the Paralympics. When the Games are over, the stadium will be torn down.
Organizers say upkeep for the $110,000,000 venue after the Games isn't practical.

About this font family
Calluna was born more or less by accident.
When I needed a little break from designing Museo I was just fiddling around a bit to see if maybe a full slab serif would be something to have a look at. The first thing I did, of course, was to put slab serifs on the stems of Museo. When I did, something nice happened. Slab-serifs with a direction! I ended up using the idea for something I always wanted to do: making a rather serious text face. The goal was to make a text font, but one with enough interesting details. More…
In the end it all came down to finding the balance in a typeface between the robustness needed to function as a text face and enough refinement to look good as a display font.

Monday's New York Times had the essential op-ed regarding the legality of our war/not-war with Libya. As Yale law professor Bruce Ackerman tells it, the Office of Legal Counsel — the administration's "authoritative voice on matters of legal interpretation" — told the president that he would have to cease military action in Libya, because to not do so would be in violation of the War Powers Act. The administration disregarded this advice and had a separate group of attorneys and advisers whip up a strained redefinition of the word "war" to justify their case that the bombing could continue unabated.
As Ackerman points out, this is actually a step or two beyond the precedent set by the Bush administration. Bush's decision to place John Yoo within the OLC heavily compromised the quality of that office's legal opinions, but at least the Bush-era White House never directly contravened those opinions. At worst, the OLC remained a theoretical check on the power of the president.
No longer. By flouting an OLC ruling, Obama has gone too far even for Yoo. That's John Yoo we're talking about folks: the guy who considers the power of the executive so expansive that the president can legally authorize child abuse.
Overruling the OLC, as Obama has, is bad enough in a vacuum. But recall that this White House also reserves the right to act based on secret interpretations of controversial laws. Which makes you wonder: if the executive branch can interpret laws in secret, and those legal interpretations are no longer subject to even internal quality control, then what's left? Does this White House acknowledge any meaningful checks on its legal authority? What does it think the president can't do?

Indiana Masters in Information Systems on Campus Programs | MIS MSIS MBA Information Systems Degrees
Masters in Information Systems on Campus Programs Overview
On-Campus Masters in Management Information Systems (MIS) or Masters of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) are specialized degrees within the fields of Technology and Information Sciences. If you aspire to a career that uses business marketplace and IT skills, a master's degree program in Information Systems is intended to prepare students with the academic preparation to manage business systems, think analytically about their function and design, as well as potentially develop their own system.
Admissions to campus MIS programs are accessible to students who have a bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college, and usually to pass graduate admissions testing, submit a personal statement and provide letters of recommendation. In some cases, schools may require work experience in technology, information systems or a related business field.
Generally a 1-3 year graduate program, the Master of Information Systems degree is intended to further students' abilities to critically evaluate and administer information systems and software used by a variety of businesses. With the rapid growth in the digital world, business firms and other organizations rely on information systems to carry out and manage their operations, interact with their customers and suppliers, and compete in the global economy. Governments, social networking channels, health care, financial and healthcare systems as well as online shopping and cyber security are only a few examples of the role and usage of information systems in our daily life.
What is an Information System?
Information systems are integrated sets of mechanisms used for collecting, storing and processing data as well as for delivering information knowledge and digital products. Some of these components are:
- Computer hardware and
- software
- Telecommunications, databases
- Human resources procedures
Studying Information Systems requires different areas of support: from those who know how to solve operational problems, to those who have the knowledge to create systems, and those who are able to manage systems.
Finding a Masters in Information Systems on Campus Program
Searching for a graduate school with a Masters Program in Information Systems management is straightforward on GradSchools.com. Locate programs by city, state or country and connect with each school to request information about their program. Some of the listings might include Information Systems MBA, Master of Science in Computer Information Systems, MS Management Information Systems and Masters in Cyber Systems.
Students in Masters in Information Systems on Campus programs may expect a challenging course of study that often involves projects and case studies. Some of the potential advantages to studying on campus is that students get hands-on experience, the opportunity to interact and brainstorm with professors and classmates, and the chance to build their networks. Other perks such as use of libraries, laboratories, and campus facilities may be an incentive to look for a Graduate School.
Potential Curriculum in Masters of Information Systems Program
Management information systems (MIS) programs generally include business classes as well as computer technology related ones. The curriculum may also include specialized courses if one is pursuing a particular type of information systems such as health care, library science, finances and accounting systems or cyber security. Business management courses might be offered in subjects such as:
- Leadership
- Customer care management
- Project management
- Strategic planning
- Marketing
While more technological courses might be offered in subjects such as
- Information technology concepts
- Data and database management
- Technical services management
- Systems development and design
- Implementation and evaluation of software applications
Explore a Career in Information Systems Management
Computer and information systems managers often referred to as information technology (IT) managers or IT project managers held about 348,500 jobs in 2014 and employment is projected to grow 15% between 2014 and 2024, making it a very fast growing field[i].
The BLS reports that the median annual wage for computer and information systems managers was $127,640 in May 2014. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $78,470, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $187,200[ii].
What they do:
- Plan, coordinate, and direct computer-related activities in an organization
- Help determine the information technology goals of an organization
- Implement computer systems to meet those goals
At the same time, within the field, there is much potential for advancement. While computer and information systems managers start out as lower level managers, they may advance to higher positions within the IT department. Furthermore, IT directors may advance to become Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and a CTO or other manager who is notably business minded may advance to a Chief Information officer (CIO) position. As well, a CIO, or the person in charge of all IT-related decisions in an organization, may advance to become top executives in an organization.
Ready to Pursue a Masters in Information Systems on Campus Degree?
If you have the ability to think critically, analyze data, communicate your findings through good interpersonal skills as well as a good head for business and decision-making, earning a Masters in Information Systems on Campus degree may be a fantastic choice, and one that may lead to a variety of potential career paths. Why not start looking into campus programs on GradSchools.com today!

LONDON (Reuters) - Li Na narrowly missed out on handing Italian Roberta Vinci the dreaded double bagel as the Chinese sixth seed romped into the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a 6-2 6-0 victory on Monday.
The 2011 French Open champion served for the first set at 5-0 up but was broken by the doubles specialist, who raised loud cheers on Court Three as she finally registered a game against her name on the scoreboard.
The 30-year-old Vinci, seeded 11th, held her next service game but from then on Li was an unstoppable force as she won the next seven games to reach the last eight at Wimbledon for the third time.
The Chinese favorite will next face either 2012 runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska or Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova.

March 18, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Sometimes, even in a team sport, a couple of players can make a dramatic difference. No. 12 BU illustrated that Wednesday afternoon at Reese Stadium, as midfielder Sarah Dalton and attacker Traci Landy combined for 10 of the Terriers' 12 goals. The Bulldogs got goals from five different players, including the first career goal from junior midfielder Natalie Reid, but it was not enough to avoid a 12-6 loss.
BU (4-3, 0-0 America East) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the game's first eight minutes on goals by Dalton, Landy and midfielder Hannah Frey. The Terriers' transition attack was finally disrupted by a smart foul from junior defender Claire Eliasberg, who broke up a scoring chance for the Terriers nine minutes in. Attacker Erin Baumgartner hit the post with the ensuing free position attempt, and Yale started to regroup.
A caused turnover by junior attacker Jessica Sturgill on an attempted clear by the Terriers, and a ground ball by junior midfielder Sarah David, helped set up sophomore midfielder Logan Greer for Yale's first goal. Sturgill then converted a feed from senior midfielder Jenn Warden and set up junior attacker Jenna Block for another goal that pulled Yale even, 3-3, with 7:14 left in the first half.
But BU was able to answer back with a pair of goals before the half, one from the All-American Dalton and one from attacker Steph Walker. The Terriers kept that momentum into the start of the second half, scoring four more goals -- three from Landy and one from Dalton -- to go up 9-3.
Still, Yale kept battling. Reid's goal, assisted by David, provided a spark with 17:44 left. But right after that the game turned decidedly in BU's favor. Sturgill had an apparent goal waved off due to a goal circle violation with 15 minutes to play, and the Terriers got a goal from Dalton off of the ensuing possession. The sequence turned what could have been a 9-5 game into a 10-4 game, and BU never looked back.
Freshman goalie Whitney Quackenbush made a point-blank save on Walker off a Dalton feed with 18:30 remaining, and Sturgill later scored off a Block assist to get Yale within five, but another Dalton goal -- her fifth of the game and 30th of the season -- pushed the Terriers' lead to 11-5 with 8:06 left. A free position goal by Warden and another goal by Landy (her fifth of the game and 18th of the season) made the final 12-6.
Quackenbush finished with 11 saves, while BU's Rachel Klein made six. One game after going 0-for-14 on draw controls against No. 5 Penn, Yale rebounded nicely in that category to win 12 of 20 draws on Wednesday. Sophomore midfielder Ariana Papier led in that category with three. Greer had a team-high five ground balls for the Bulldogs.
Yale (2-5, 0-1 Ivy League) hosts No. 19 Dartmouth Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

Bad Customers And The Stupid Things They Say
Our reader Eyebrows McGee pointed us to a fun, albeit slightly depressing (if you're concerned about the future of the human race) website called NotAlwaysRight.com, where retail veterans post transcripts of their worst customer interactions. Read for fun, but also for examples of how not to behave as a consumer.
Me: "Can I help you?"
Customer:"I'm looking for non-fiction."
Me:"What kind?"
Customer: "Just non-fiction."
Me: "Okay…do you want history? Or science? Psychology??Business?"
Customer: "No, just NON-FICTION!"
Customer: "Tell me; is your cleaning solution toxic?"
Me: "You mean the stuff we use to clean fresh ear piercings?"
Customer: "Yah, that stuff.
Me: "Well no sir, I don't believe it's toxic. There isn't really anything in here that–"
Customer: "–because I ingested a whole bunch of it!"
Me: "Why?"
Customer: "I was out of mouth wash. I needed mouth wash."
Me: "But it isn't mouth wash…it's used to clean piercings…"
Customer: "I know, do you think I'm stupid?! That's why I'm worried!"
Customer:"These things don't work! They are hard to swallow and I nearly choked to death."
Me: "Ma'am, they are suppositories. You don't swallow them, you insert them rectally."
Customer: "What does that mean?"
Me: "You unwrap them and insert them in your rectum."
Customer: "What's my rectum?"
Me: "Ma'am, please forgive me, but your rectum is your butt hole."
Customer: "Well up yours too!" *stalks off*
(This is not the first time someone misunderstood when we explained how to use a suppository. It's the only time we can tell a patient "up yours" and get away with it!)

The Story of the Hanging Tanksley
3 comments:
Hello Richard,ReplyDelete
Well your turn to shine in the spotlight in the "Meet a Rabbit" column is here. I apologize for the 2 week lag in posting. I wonder if this is the reason I am having trouble getting Rabbits to participate? Oh well.
Due to this sporadic participation, the schedule is seriously out of whack. So what I have done is take the names on my list (of which you are one) and ask that if you would like your turn to be showcased in the column, please send me your intro/bio/whatever you you like to say along with any photo(s) as soon as humanly possible. Remember that it can be as lengthy as you would like and the content is your choice.
My bag o rabbits is empty and I have no more to pull out of the hat, i.e. the publication schedule is completely void of articles.
If you would rather not participate, please let me know asap so I can move on to the next Rabbit.
Thanks and have a great day!

This was an interesting story. I am not related to them but I happen to know that Jim Tanksley still has numerous family in the Cushing area. One of his nieces just passed away this year and she was married to a Church of the Firstborn elder. Jim was also an elder of the church, in fact he was ordained in 1895 with 6 others.

My married name is Tanksley. My husband, Richard Delmer was born in Broken Arrow, OK in 1934 to Lilli B Blevins and John H. Tanksley. I have 3 sons, Richard M., Kenneth L. and James P.ReplyDelete

By Matthew Heimer
Most people who have 401(k) plans get their employer matches every pay period – with a set fraction of both their contribution and their match going into the account each payday. But one of the biggest U.S. employers is now overhauling its match in ways that could leave some employees with less money. The Wall Street Journal's Kelly Greene reports that, beginning next year, International Business Machines Corp. (aka IBM) will pay its entire employer match in one annual lump sum. What's more, that payment won't come until the end of the year; employees who leave the company before Dec. 15 will get no match for the year, unless it's the year they're retiring.
A back-loaded payment can work against employees in several ways. For one, it makes it hard for them to practice "dollar-cost averaging," a risk-reducing strategy that involves investing in stock and bonds at multiple prices at regular intervals. What's more, as one IBM employee tells Greene, "You lose a whole year's worth of interest on that money. And if they lay you off Dec. 1, you don't get anything. It adds a whole other level of unnecessary uncertainty."
IBM has generally drawn praise for its retirement plan since it converted a few years ago from a defined benefit pension system to a 401(k) model. Human-resources experts have commended it for keeping fees low and providing financial advice to employees. And the company's match is still a generous one: For most employees, Greene reports, it amounts to between 6% and 10% of pay. But some benefit experts tell Greene that they're concerned other companies will follow IBM's cost-cutting move, effectively leaving more workers with smaller nest eggs.

Mini Pita, Haloumi and Zucchini Pizzas
Have you had haloumi cheese before? Haloumi really is one of my favourite cheeses to cook with. It's great in sandwiches, to top salads and even to use on top of your favourite burgers during this summer's BBQ season. Haloumi in often used in Middle Eastern cuisine and has that perfect mix of saltiness and sturdiness - which makes it the ideal cheese to grill and melt.
This recipe was born out of a desire to make weeknight meals more exciting and easier to put on the table. During this time of year, there is no excuse not to use seasonal produce. I tend to move away from heavy meals (especially for dinner) and to concentrate on crisp, fresh dishes that I can get to the table in minutes. These pizzas really hit the spot in our household - I use mini pitas as a base (for all those times when making fresh pizza dough just isn't an option)and pack them with fresh veggies and gooey cheese. The pita also helps make the pizzas lighter and ensures that you have a paper-thin crust that will cook in no time. These are also really perfect for entertaining - the pizzas cook in a flash and are great to enjoy outdoors, with an ice-cool glass of watermelon juice (recipe to come soon!).
And on another note, the winner of my Clean Start Cookbook giveaway is Marcella - congratulations!
Mini Pita, Haloumi and Zucchini Pizzas
Makes 12 mini pizzas
6 mini whole wheat pitas
1/4 cup of olive oil + 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon of grated parmesan
1 clove of garlic, very finely minced
1/4 tsp of dried oregano
1 small green zucchini
1 small yellow zucchini
1 good squirt of lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup of pitted Greek olives
6 medium thick slices of Haloumi cheese
12 cherry tomatoes, quartered
Preheat your oven to 400F. Carefully cut each pita in half lengthwise to get two round bases. Lay out the pitas on a parchment-lined baking sheet, inside facing up.
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup of olive oil, Parmesan, garlic and oregano and generously brush the mixture on each pita half. Using a vegetable peeler, peel thin strips of zucchini and place in a bowl. If the strips are too large, cut them in half lengthwise using a small paring knife. Add the quartered cherry tomatoes and olives. Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper and gently toss to coat. Don't add too much salt as the Haloumi and olives are both quite salty.
Evenly lay out the zucchini, tomato and olives on each piece of pita, leaving a small border. Cut each slice of Haloumi cheese into 2 or 3 pieces and add them evenly to each pita. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the zucchini just starts to wilt. Serve immediately.

I added sultanas because, frankly, everything's better with sultanas but you could replace them with nuts or simply omit them if they're not your thing. Sultanas add such a sweet, juicy little pop of joy to everything and it works very well against this cake's crunchy topping.
300g light muscovado sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
200g self raising flour
50g desiccated coconut
200g grated carrot (about 3 medium carrots)
2 teaspoons mixed spice
Optional: 150g sultanas
85g desiccated coconut
25g light muscovado sugar

MOBA Group is a company with two locations in USA, and Dubai. We're looking for a logo that expresses a look that says we are "strong/solid", "have been around for a long time", and has a lot of "character". We're trying to steer away from flimsy/weak looking logos. We're open to any kind of logo design idea. But we're steering towards HORIZONTAL logo, and not something that stacked on top of each other. However, if your design requires the word "MOBA and GROUP" to be on top of each other (maybe group with a smaller font/etc), that is alright. Again, we're open to artistic and cool ideas. We're just looking for a great company that gives the feel that we're a group of companies.
We're active in: IT solutions, trading, real estate.
Color combination should be something strong like a shade of blue, but we're open to others as well.
Font should be something that stands out, not something artsy/weak.
Shoot for a design concept that looks good on its own. Imagine it needing to stand out and have a powerful image on the right left corner of a business card, or stand alone on a banner, etc.
We will make a comment on every single submission!

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Gunmen shot dead five people, including four prostitutes, in Pakistan's troubled Balochistan province Thursday morning, police said.
Elsewhere in the province, a car bomb blast killed 12 people, including six police officers.
Awais Ahmed, the district police officer for the town of Sibi, said four gunmen on two motorcycles opened fire at a brothel in the town.
He said four prostitutes and a taxi driver were killed in the attack. Two other women were seriously wounded.
The second incident - the car bomb blast -- took place in the provincial capital of Quetta.
Deputy Inspector General Syed Ahmed Mobeen said the attackers used a remote-controlled device to trigger the bomb when a police vehicle was passing by.
The strength of the blast damaged nearby shops and houses. In addition to the deaths. the explosion wounded 21 others, Mobeen said.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for either incident. But suspicion immediately fell on Baloch insurgents operating in the area.
Militants in Balochistan, a province rich in natural gas, have been fighting Pakistani military forces for self-rule. For years, they have complained that the government has paid little attention to them and their economic needs.

Macabre (U.S.A.)
Macabre was a fanzine published by Joseph Payne Brennan Essence in New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A.
Macabre was founded in 1957 to "work for the revival" of Weird Tales, a Pulp magazine that Brennan had written for. He also wanted Macabre to "serve as a rallying place for all those devoted to horror and the supernatural". Twenty three issues were released, the last one in 1976.
Issues of Macabre included Brennan's "Lucius Leffing" stories, and well as other of his well known stories and articles on H. P. Lovecraft"; "Time and Lovecraft" and "Lovecraft on the Subway".
Other contributions included "Wei-Thogga" by Mike Ambrose, "Ice People" by George Dendrinos, "Balthor the Dreamer" by W. Paul Ganley (Eerie Country), "The Floating Coffin" by John Perry, "Day of Departure" by Frank Sherry.
Other contributors include Ramsey Campbell, Robert Caspar, Lawrence R. Griffin, Helen T. Hill, Leslie Nelson Jennings, Lilith Lorraine, J. Francis Murphy, William J. Noble, Voilet Hiles Ringer, Richard L. Tierney, Lawrence A. Trissel, and Elizabeth Weistrop.
The ninth issue (Summer 1961) featured an article on H.P. Lovecraft by Brennan.
Several stories in Macabre have been cited as essential to Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos".

Alcohol in the Atlantic
David Carey Jr.
Dating from the earliest times in Latin America, alcohol has played a crucial social, economic, political, and cultural role. Often reserved for politico-religious leaders, alcohol was a conduit through which power flowed in many pre-contact indigenous societies; indigenous drinkways (production, commerce, and consumption habits) were associated with communal ritual events and social prestige. Introduced to the Americas by Europeans, distillation profoundly altered the potency of alcoholic drinks for people who were accustomed to fermentation. Even as the social and cultural practices of alcohol consumption changed over time, alcohol continued to have political and economic implications in the colonial and national periods in Latin America. Fearing that inebriation bred disorder and recognizing that moonshining undercut their own revenues, colonial and national governments alike sought to regulate, if not control, the production, sale, and consumption of alcohol. In nations as diverse as Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, and Guatemala, indigenous women came to play integral roles in the (oftentimes illicit) sale and production of alcohol. A cash nexus for moving labor and land and a crucial component of the economic system by which (often unscrupulous) labor brokers recruited workers, alcohol was a currency of local economies. As a commodity of local, national, and international significance, alcohol shaped the fate of nation-states.
People's class, ethnic, race, and gender identities all played into their access to alcohol. Although a person's choice of libation could define their position, some of the more fascinating histories of alcohol are punctuated with women and men who used alcohol to disrupt social conventions. Through the consumption of alcohol, rituals and ceremonies created and reconstituted community both within and across ethnic groups. Imbibing could also divide people. Even while they sipped their cognacs and brandies, elites portrayed indigenous people, the poor, and other marginalized people getting drunk on moonshine to discount and denigrate them. Often associated with (particularly violent) crime, alcohol was seen as a vice by many and excoriated during temperance movements. Yet defendants across Latin America took advantage of judicial systems that considered alcohol a mitigating circumstance in many crimes. As 20th-century evangelical sects that preached abstinence as the route to wealth and marital bliss grew to unprecedented numbers, traditional healers and biomedical practitioners continued to tout alcohol's medicinal value. In short, alcohol was a marker of social position and cultural identity, a crucial component in community and state building, and a commodity around which different cultural traditions, healing practices, and policing policies developed and evolved.
Canary Island Immigration to the Hispanic Caribbean
Manuel Hernández González
The configuration of Canarian migration during the Conquest and colonization of the Spanish Caribbean was significantly influenced by its historic continuity, familial nature (with an elevated presence of women and children), dedication to agriculture, and contribution to the settlement of towns. This migration gave rise to quintessentially rural prototypes, such as the Cuban guajiro, linked to self-sustaining agriculture and tobacco; the Puerto Rican jíbaro, a coffee grower; and the Dominican montero or farmer from Cibao. All of these contributed a great many aspects of their speech, idiosyncrasies, and culture.
The migratory dynamic has evolved since the Conquest and includes such processes as Cuban tobacco colonization, the foundation of townships in Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico (in order to further analyze their adaptation to the economic boom of sugar plantations in Cuba and Puerto Rico), and the uprising of slaves in French Santo Domingo, as well as the cession of the Spanish portion of the island to this country in 1795. This event merits special focus, due to its great transcendence in terms of the signs of identity that emerged during the rebellion of the Canarian vegueros against the monopoly within the Havana context, and the defense of their configuration as a distinct people in San Carlos de Tenerife: processes that explain their response to 19th-century innovations in Cuba and Puerto Rico and to Dominican political avatars, as well as their attitudes toward criollismo and emancipation. Their singularities are reflected in the mass Cuban emigration that took place during the early decades of the 20th century.
The Creole Circus and Popular Entertainment in 19th Century Argentina and Uruguay
William G. Acree Jr.
Theater in Argentina and Uruguay, which together compose the Plata river region of Latin America, has been a predominant form of entertainment since the 19th century. Theaters abound in Montevideo, while its sister city. Buenos Aires, has its own Broadway in the famed Corrientes Street. In the age of digital culture, the theater remains a mainstay of cultural life for Argentines and Uruguayans. The success of theater and the making of a theatergoing public in the region have their roots first in the variety of entertainment offered by hemispheric travelers to the region from the 1820s through the 1880s and then, most significantly, in shows put on by itinerant circus troupes in the countryside that only later filled urban theaters. From the mid-1880s through 1900 these circus troupes performed plays known as dramas criollos that dealt with rural traditions and explored issues of migration, social stratification, and tensions of economic modernization. These Creole dramas, like the narrative and poetic tales of gaucho heroes that informed them, became wildly successful, attracting spectators in the countryside and city alike, in venues ranging from makeshift tents to the most opulent theaters. They also became the namesake of the circo criollo, which referred as much to types of performers staging the tales as to the circus event where people flocked to see the new main attraction—the dramas. In effect, the Creole drama phenomenon expanded the presence of popular entertainment across the region and consolidated a theatergoing public. It also gave way to a new strand of modern popular culture in which storylines and characters reappeared in other media, and the impact of the Creole drama experience long outlived the spectacle itself.
José Guadalupe Posada and Visual Culture in Porfirian Mexico
Robert M. Buffington and Jesus Osciel Salazar
José Guadalupe Posada (b. Aguascalientes, February 2, 1852; d. Mexico City, January 20, 1913) was a prolific printmaker of exceptional technique, range, and originality. By the time of his death, his images had become a staple of Mexico City popular culture, appearing regularly in theatrical posters, advertisements, book illustrations, broadsides, and the penny press. Despite his popularity with impresarios, advertisers, publishers, editors, and readers, Posada received scant formal recognition during his lifetime. That changed in the 1920s with his "discovery" by prominent artists and art critics including internationally renowned muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. By the 1940s, exhibitions of his work had begun to appear in major galleries and museums in the United States and Europe, promoted as evidence of a unique visual aesthetic rooted in traditional Mexican culture and committed to exposing the long-standing oppression of the Mexican people at the hands of corrupt politicians, greedy bourgeoisie, cruel caciques (local party bosses), and foreign interlopers. Although scholars have disputed the genealogy and political nature of Posada's vision, the revolutionary nationalist interpretation of Rivera, Orozco, and others has provided inspiration and a sense of cultural legitimacy for succeeding generations of artists in Mexico and throughout the Mexican diaspora. Posada is best known for his striking calaveras, notably Calavera Catrina, a fashionable female skull with bows and a fancy hat; and La Calavera Oaxaqueña, a machete-wielding male skeleton dressed in a charro outfit. Published in conjunction with the annual celebrations for Day of the Dead (October 31–November 2) and accompanied by satiric verses, Posada's calaveras poke fun at the pretentions of the living in the face of their inevitable mortality.
Oliveira Lima and the Oliveira Lima Library at the Catholic University of America
Nathalia Henrich
Manoel de Oliveira Lima (b. Recife, December 25, 1867–d. Washington DC, March 24, 1928) was one of the most prestigious men of letters of his generation. As a historian, diplomat, literary critic, journalist, writer, and professor, he maintained an intense intellectual activity. His strong and often controversial views galvanized public opinion and gathered as many admirers as detractors. The "Fat Don Quixote" and the "Intellectual Ambassador of Brazil" were at the same time deemed a "Diplomatic Torpedo" with an "incontinent pen." Lima became a renowned scholar and public speaker thanks to his expertise on Latin American history, especially on the history of Brazil. He was the author of numerous books and articles published in Europe and the Americas, and a lecturer at Harvard, Stanford, and the Sorbonne. He was a founding member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters. His career as a diplomat began in 1891, the same year he married Flora de Oliveira Lima (neé Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, b. Cachoeirinha, October 26, 1863, d. August 12, 1940, Washington, DC), his lifelong companion and collaborator. Together they lived in Portugal, Germany, the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Venezuela, and Belgium until his retirement. A devoted bibliophile, Oliveira Lima donated his rich collection of rare books, artwork, manuscripts, prints, photographs, and documents from his personal archive to the Catholic University of America in 1916. In 1920, he established residence in Washington, DC to oversee the organization of the university's library, which was inaugurated in 1924. He taught international law and acted as librarian at CUA until his death in 1928. The Oliveira Lima Library (OLL) is currently considered one of the finest collections of Luso-Brazilian materials and one of the most important Brasilianas in the world.
The Socio-Political History of Cacao Growing in the State of Bahia
Mary Ann Mahony
For most of the 20th century, a narrow coastal strip of the Brazilian state of Bahia was the largest producer of Theobroma cacao in the Americas and the second largest in the world. Cacao arrived in the region from the Amazon in the first half of the 18th century, and its cultivation expanded rapidly in the 19th century due to several factors, including a favorable climate, available land, labor too limited for growing sugar, and a developing international market. Initially grown by members of the rural poor, including mission Indians, slaves and ex-slaves, by the 20th century cacao had turned southern Bahia into a plantation region dominated by large estates and exploited workers. This economic expansion came at the expense of the region's flora and fauna, as well as of the small holders who had initiated the sector. The problems associated with this form of development became clear when the cacao disease known as Witch's Broom arrived in the region in 1989 and cacao production collapsed. Southern Bahian planters attempting to avoid bankruptcy laid off hundreds of thousands of illiterate rural workers and sold off surviving tropical hardwoods. Historians know the region primarily through the writings of cacao-area native and Brazilian novelist Jorge Amado, but the region's history goes much beyond the topics he covered and offers numerous opportunities for research.
The Transatlantic Financial Crisis of 1837
Stephen W. Campbell
The Transatlantic Financial Crisis of 1837 produced a global depression that lasted until the mid-1840s. Falling cotton prices, a collapsing land bubble, and fiscal and monetary policies pursued by individual actors and financial institutions in the United States and Great Britain were all responsible. A comprehensive understanding of the panic must take into account the global movements of gold and silver that linked Mexico, China, the United States, and Great Britain in complex networks of credit and debt. In the United States, businesses, banks, and individuals declared bankruptcy; states defaulted on their debts; commodity prices dropped; credit instruments lost their value; and unemployment rose amid a general atmosphere of pessimism and an erosion of confidence. The severity of the panic prompted politicians and financial theorists to reevaluate their ideological assumptions regarding the proper role of governmental regulation in an economy. In a larger sense, the panic demonstrated how the expansion of slavery in the United States, British imperialism, financial speculation, and recurring cycles of boom and bust were emerging as defining features of modern capitalism.

2003 Mercedes-Benz M-Class ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New ML 350 boosts performance.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUVs deliver rugged looks, safety, room, and utility.
For 2003, there's a new, more powerful base model, the ML350, which replaces the ML320, comes with a larger V6 engine. The ML500 comes with a V8.
Also new for 2003 are a DVD- (rather than CD-) based navigation system, and a special Inspiration Edition with unique interior and exterior trim.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class is available in two models, plus a limited-edition high-performance version.
The new ML350 ($36,950) uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 232 horsepower.
ML500 ($45,350) gets a 288-horsepower V8.
ML55 AMG ($65,900) features a hot-rod version of that V8, raising the horsepower to 342.
A new package called the Inspiration Edition ($2540 on ML350, $1200 on ML500) includes sport seats with silver cross-stitched Anthracite leather, dark poplar wood trim, unique floormats, six-spoke 17-inch wheels, and a silver-painted grille.
All M-Class models come standard with dual front airbags that know when to deploy with partial or full force, side airbags, window curtain airbags that drop from the headliner, as well as seatbelt pretensioners and automatic seatbelt force limiters. A child-seat recognition system prevents deployment of the front passenger airbags when an appropriate child safety seat is installed.
The company's Tele Aid emergency calling system is also standard equipment, along with a downhill traction-control system that features a crawl mode for slow descents on steep icy streets, or even off-road. Also standard on all M-Class models for 2003 is an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which corrects slides and is invaluable; it works with Brake Assist, which activates the pedal with full force when sensors say it's needed.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class is purposeful and compact in appearance, with a sculpted front end and sharply sloped hood. Its styling was freshened last year, with a new grille, new wheels, tighter-fitting bumpers, halogen headlamps with projected beams, halogen foglamps, revised taillamp lenses with a single rear foglamp integrated in the left taillamp, and side mirrors incorporating turn signals.
M-Class is built with traditional body-on-frame construction used for trucks. Though heavier and more prone to squeaks than the unibody construction found in most sedans and minivans, this design is durable and better suited for towing, and is preferred by many truck buyers.
The Mercedes M-Class comes with leather and burl walnut trim. The interior got a makeover for 2002. The center console, rear console and instrument cluster were all cleaned up and made simpler to view and use. Mercedes added a covered storage area with a 32-ounce cupholder. The gauges are very clean. Overall, the controls are easy to locate, and they work with a soft, satisfying click.
There's a traditional Mercedes look to the white-on-black gauges, which turn ivory-on-black when lit at night. The digital clock is intelligently located inside the tachometer, where it can be easily read; an ambient thermometer is located inside the speedometer, although we believe a compass located there would be more useful. The compass is on the overhead console, one of six functions on the trip computer, along with date, present and average fuel consumption, miles to empty, and a stop watch. The cupholders that fold out of the dash on each end are the best.
Surprisingly, given Mercedes' focus on safety, there is no warning light when a door is ajar (also true of some of the company's sedans). The cruise control stalk is often criticized on Mercedes vehicles for being located above the turn signal stalk, set with an upward push. So during a right turn, your left hand flips the turn signal up, you turn the steering wheel, and if your fingers stayed extended a moment too long, you bump the cruise control stalk and set it, often without realizing it. It happened to us once, and we never knew it until we backed off for a stop sign, and the throttle stayed on.
The fully automatic and filtered climate control system uses a large-capacity air conditioning compressor under the hood and six temperature sensors in the cabin to provide efficient and accurate air temperature and flow. Theoretically, that is. We suspect there's some German over-engineering here. For example, in automatic mode, the blower speed is determined by, among other things, a photo diode that registers sunlight on the dashboard. The default temperature setting is 72 degrees. To change it, refer to your 320-page hardcover owner's manual.
But you don't have to use the automatic mode. There are three big well-designed dials to adjust manually. Rings around the circumference of the dials are used to adjust fan speed, temperature and air direction, and a little red LED light indicator that moves around the outside. However, they lack separate settings for each side of the forward cabin. The rear console (with two cupholders) allows back-seat passengers to set their own air speed and direction, but not temperature. It too has an automatic setting, meaning sunlight on the dash affects blower speed in the back seat. That's high technology at work.
The Modular Control System includes the sound and navigation systems, both displayed on a console screen. The on-off/volume button is so small it will be very difficult to grip with gloves in winter. There's another small button for tuning both radio and navigation, which works like a teensy joystick. You can preset 10 radio channels from a keyboard. There's a learning curve to mastering the system. We've never figured out how to run the navigation system without the radio stepping in uninvited, for example. The compass and trip computer display are above the mirror and hard to read.
There are no less than four power ports in the cabin, front and rear. There are good storage compartments all over, though we couldn't find a good place for toll change. We like the grab handles over each of the four doors, although climbing out isn't very difficult, as the door sills sit only 18 inches above the ground. That's a low step-in height by SUV standards.
Parktronic ($1015) is an excellent feature. The system beeps as you're backing up, indicating how close you are to an object.
The seats are supportive and comfortable, with thick, sturdy leather upholstery and enough bolstering for most SUV driving, although not enough for th.
Driving Impression
The Mercedes-Benz ML500 provided a ride that was smooth, steady, firm and never jarring. The handling is extremely good for an SUV this heavy, though it bobs like a pogo stick when cornering hard. The M-Class responds to aggressive steering commands without fuss, and the beefy tires are grippy. Still, a driver can feel the truck's weight if he or she yanks the steering wheel, and the M-Class will lean some in emergency lane-change maneuvers. But it's prone neither to pushing at the front end (understeer) nor sliding at the rear (oversteer). Of course, the magical Electronic Stability Program controls this loss of traction during cornering, particularly on dirt, gravel or slippery pavement. ESP applies brakes to individual wheels to help turn the vehicle evenly whenever it detects a skid. It was revised last year, for a more rapid response. The M-Class rides on a double-wishbone, four-wheel independent suspension, and its front anti-roll bar was made larger last year.
The biggest problem with the ML 500's handling might be the inconvenience of the heavy steering. At slower speeds the steering effort is very high, making it hard to steer in crowded parking lots. You might even find yourself turning wider than you intended to, because you didn't muscle it enough. It's possible to beat the power steering pump by turning the wheel real fast at low speeds, especially under braking.
With its V8 engine, the ML500 accelerates from 0 to 60 in 7.7 seconds. This puts it among the quickest SUVs on the market, as well as one of the thirstiest, at just 14/17 mpg in the EPA's city/highway cycle.
The flexibility of the 5.0-liter engine is impressive, with its broad torque range and whomping 325 pounds-feet. It works beautifully with the sophisticated five-speed automatic transmission. Floor the accelerator at any speed, and in a heartbeat the transmission downshifts and this 2.25-ton luxury truck gains speed, making quick, stress-free work of passing tractor trailers on two-lane roads. The transmission downshifts so smoothly all you feel is a surge of power, as if a turbocharger were kicking in.
Even better, there's the joy of Touch Shift, which allows manual shifting by nudging the lever to the left or right, with the gear displayed on the instrument panel. The transmission learns the driver's style in the Auto mode, though if you jump on it then back off to, say, make a lane change, it will downshift then hold it in the lower gear longer than you want.
The anti-lock brakes, with massive discs, ventilated in front, are impressive, and the pedal feel is as solid as the rest of the truck. The ML500 slows quicker than almost any other SUV made.
The M-Class lacks a hand brake or locking differential, two pieces of hardware that experienced off-road drivers sometimes rely on. But with 8.7 inches of ground clearance, the M-Class is capable of traversing terrain that few SUV buyers are likely to challenge. A switch on the dash triggers low range for the full-time four-wheel-drive, allowing the vehicle to creep up and down seriously steep inclines. Meanwhile, the electronic power distribution delivers grip in mud, snow, or uneven ground. The electronics apply the brakes on wheels that are slipping, and then send most of the power to those that are gripping. The M-Class can creep forward even if only one wheel has a bit of traction. Unlike a Land Rover, however, the Mercedes traction-control system can leave the M-Class sidelined when the grip goes away completely.
The ML500 performs so well, and its ride and handling are so solid, that only the wealthiest, hard-core, high-performance buyers will feel a need for the image-heavy ML55 AMG. It can accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds. That's quick, but that will cost you another 21 grand. The engine is poked out to 5.5 liters, yielding 342 horsepower and a humongous 376 pounds-feet of torque. We drove an ML55, pushing it harder, because it will be driven very aggr.
The Mercedes-Benz M-Class is a fine line of SUVs. While some 4X4s offer chunkier tires and greater ground clearance than the M-Class, and may be more capable off-road, they behave more like trucks on the highway. Other sport-utilities, such as the Lexus RX 330, feel more car-like than the M-Class on pavement, but offer limited off-road capability. Still others are bigger and more luxurious. But it's very difficult to find one that does as many things as well as the M-Class.

Yesterday we featured the equal parts horrific and boring US government job application for "nuclear war survivor." Today we're taking a look at the United States Air Force film "The Power of Decision," perhaps the only American military training movie to depict global nuclear annihilation. Cheerful stuff!
In the film, none of the military operatives are shocked, excited, or anxious about the prospect of civilization being reduced to a glowing crater. They might as well be tabulating the USAF's annual budget for slide rulers and latrine doors. Notes William Burr at George Washington University's National Security Archive:
"The Power of Decision" may be the first (and perhaps the only) U.S. government film dramatizing nuclear war decision-making. Commissioned by the Strategic Air Command in 1956, the film has the look of a 1950s TV drama, but the subject is the ultimate Cold War nightmare. By the end of the film, after the U.S. Air Force has implemented war plan "Quick Strike" following a Soviet surprise attack, millions of Americans, Russians, Europeans, and Japanese are dead. The narrator, a Colonel Dodd, asserts that "nobody wins a nuclear war because both sides are sure to suffer terrible damage." Despite the "catastrophic" damage, one of the film's operating assumptions is that defeat is avoidable as long as the adversary cannot impose its "will" on the United States. The film's last few minutes suggest that the United States would prevail because of the "success" of its nuclear air offensive. Moscow, not the United States, is sending out pleas for a cease-fire [...]
Little is known about the production and distribution of "The Power of Decision," or even if it was actually shown. According to the history of the Air Photographic and Charting Service for January through June 1957, on 28 May 1956, the Strategic Air Command requested the service to produce the film, which would be classified Secret. SAC leaders may have wanted such a film for internal indoctrination and training purposes, to help officers and airmen prepare themselves for the worst active-duty situation that they could encounter. Perhaps the relatively unruffled style of the film's performers was to serve as a model for SAC officers if they ever had to follow orders that could produce a nuclear holocaust.
