In the basement of the Wyoming State Library, there was a section divided by shelves which held the genealogy books. This book assortment of State and County records from across the United States was started by Mrs. Beard.
Early in the 1950's there were several ladies who had become interested in genealogical research. Each of the ladies searched for their families, all became friends by helping each other, and so a small group was formed. They had tea at each other's homes and on January 25, 1952, at a member's home, they decided to organize and called themselves "The Cheyenne Genealogy Society". They would meet monthly at various homes assisting each other with their research. The dues were $2.00 a year and were used to purchase needed supplies and books. This first group consisted of about twenty members. With growth in the membership, the meeting times were changed to the evenings and meetings were held at different locations in the community.
Over the years the Society has grown and the members serve as useful resources to the community, the local libraries and fellow researchers.
The Society's resources have provided Laramie County Library with over 3,000 research books for public use, and members of Cheyenne Genealogical & Historical Society annually provide approximately 3000 volunteer hours to the library. In addition, members of the Society are available for educational presentations throughout the area.
In 2007 the Society changed its name to "The Cheyenne Genealogical & Historical Society". This change emphasized the members' interest in the historical aspects of genealogical research.
The Society maintains an information booth at the county fair and members of the Society become characters in the Annual Lakeview Cemetery Living History Walk each July. The Living History Walk allows walkers to relive the lives of notable Wyoming people as the volunteers, dressed in period costumes, portray their character in a dialogue with the narrator.
Regular meetings of the Society are held on the second Tuesday of the month, September through April, with the Society's Annual Meeting and Dinner held in May. The summer months are devoted primarily to special classes and workshops conducted for beginning researchers, and individual research.
The Society's mission is to stimulate and encourage family history research through a variety of endeavors and to provide members and the genealogic public with a diversity of resources in the furtherance of their personal research.
Genealogical research is supported by the Society's acquisition of genealogical research tools and reference materials, including books, films, fiche, CD ROMs, and/or historical records, as well as the preservation of donated historic collections and historic genealogical books and records.
In order to raise the standards of genealogical research and the proficiency levels of researchers, education is provided through periodic problem-solving workshops, seminars, monthly speaker programs, the Society's Computer Interest Group, and the Society's newsletter Cheyenne Genealogy Journal.
The Society further encourages and supports cooperative programs with the Genealogy Department of the Laramie County Central Library, the Cheyenne LDS Family History Center, and other state and local entities, to promote both the Society and the scholarly reputation of genealogy.
Long before Wyoming was a territory or a state, Indians, trappers and explorers had discovered the wonders of the area which would be known as Wyoming.
One of the earliest explorers of Wyoming was John Colter in 1807. While exploring the Rocky Mountains, he discovered a region of steaming geysers and towering waterfalls so unusual that his written records nicknamed the area Colter's Hell. On March 1, 1872 President Ulysses Grant designated that area the world's first national park, Yellowstone National Park.
The lure of the west brought increasing numbers of pioneer wagon trains rolling over the many trails that traversed territory. Pony soldiers came to protect the wagon trains from hostile Indians, and the soldiers established forts along the trails.
In 1834 William Sublette and Robert Campbell established Ft. Laramie in the eastern portion of what would become Wyoming. The Fort became a Military post in 1849. It was a haven for gold seekers and weary emigrants. It was also an important station for the Pony Express and Overland stagecoaches, and it served as a vital military post in the wars with the Plains Indians.
The greater portion of Wyoming formerly belonged to the Territory of Dakota. On the 25th of July, 1868 the Wyoming Territory was created and on October 12, 1869 the first legislative assembly of Wyoming convened in Cheyenne. The Wyoming Territory was admitted to the Union on July 10th, 1890 as the 44th state.
In 1867 and 1868, Dakota created four counties - Laramie, Carter (now Sweetwater), Carbon, and Albany - which became the first counties of Wyoming Territory. Laramie County, now located in the southeastern corner of the state, once encompassed the eastern portion of the Wyoming. Later the state was reapportioned into the 23 counties as we know them today.
On July 1, 1862, President Lincoln approved a bill creating the Union Pacific Railroad Company. By November 13, 1867 the railroad tracks had been completed to the Dakota Territory and the first passenger train arrived the following day at what would become Cheyenne, "The Magic City of the Plains".
In 1872, the Library Association was formed. A pay library was opened in 1886. About 1897, the Wyoming Legislature passed a law providing for county libraries, and the first to be established in the United States was located in Cheyenne.
With statehood on July 10, 1890, Cheyenne became the Capital of Wyoming. When the Territory of Wyoming, which allowed women to vote, was admitted as a state, Wyoming became the first state with women suffrage.
Through the years the railroad industry has remained a part of Cheyenne's industry. In 1920 Cheyenne was designated one of the 14 terminal cities for the Transcontinental Air Mail Service. The Lincoln highway, which was begun in 1913 to link the United States from coast to coast, went through Cheyenne. Now the city is located on two major highways: Interstate 80 and Interstate 25.
Much of the industry base in Laramie County is ranching and farming. Many families now producing crops or livestock in the county are living off the acreages their grandfathers and great grandfathers homesteaded in the early days of the county.
There has always been a military influence Cheyenne. On July 4, 1867, the same day that the site of the city of Cheyenne was designated by General Grenville M. Dodge, the site of Fort D. A. Russell was selected to the north west of the city. Construction of Fort Russell began in September 1867 and its presence would prove invaluable with the growth of the city.
In August 1867 a site was selected between Fort Russell and Cheyenne for Camp Carlin, supply depot. In its time, Camp Carlin was the second largest quarter-master depot in the United States. In May 1890 Camp Carlin was abandoned. The buildings were sold and some that were moved to Cheyenne are still in use.

New documents show Occupy groups also on IRS watch list
WASHINGTON — Newly released IRS documents provide more evidence that progressive groups — including groups affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement — were placed on an IRS "watch list" and given secondary screenings for their tax-exempt status.
Those documents "raise serious questions" about the inspector general's report in May that first disclosed the scope of an IRS program to target political groups, said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
But the documents also suggest that the Internal Revenue Service saw the Tea Party as a separate class. The notes of a July 28, 2010, workshop in Cincinnati, for example, instructed front-line screeners to "err on the side of caution" and "re-emphasize" that all potential political groups were to be marked for more investigation. The notes also said that "'Progressive' applications are not considered 'Tea Parties.'"
Tea Parties, patriot groups and groups affiliated with the conservative "9/12 project" were kept on an "emerging issues" list that caused their applications to be held up for 27 months even as progressive groups had their tax exemptions approved. Another key word revealed in the documents for the first time is "pink-slip program," an apparent reference to a conservative movement to "send Congress a pink slip" by voting members out of office.
STORY: IRS approved liberal groups while Tea Party in limbo
The IRS defined Occupy groups as "organizations occupying public space protesting in various cities ... claiming social injustices due to 'big money' influence." It's unclear whether any Occupy-style or pink-slip groups ever applied for tax-exempt status. A search of IRS records shows that none had received it as of May.
An e-mail released by Cummings also shows the inspector general examined 5,500 e-mails from IRS employees in Cincinnati and found no evidence that the Tea Party targeting described in the May 14 report was politically motivated.
"The e-mail traffic indicated there were unclear processing directions and the group wanted to make sure they had guidance on processing the applications so they pulled them. This is a very important nuance," said a May 3 e-mail from the deputy inspector general for investigations.
The scope of that investigation wasn't included in the final report. Cummings said it was edited out.
J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, has repeatedly testified that there was no evidence of political motivation. But he also described his report as an "audit" and not an investigation, and said the report wasn't designed to answer the questions of why the targeting occurred.
"We stand by our report and its findings," said Karen Kraushaar, a spokeswoman for the inspector general.
Cummings said the documents "directly contradict numerous public accusations by congressional Republicans that the White House and other administration officials targeted Tea Party organizations for partisan political reasons."
He wants the Oversight Committee to bring the inspector general back to toccupestify next week "to explain why he failed to disclose this critical information."
Congressional Republicans, however, said the documents show Tea Party groups were indeed given more scrutiny.
"These documents, once again, refute misleading attempts to equate routine scrutiny of other groups involved in advocacy to the systematic scrutiny of Tea Party groups by IRS officials," said Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. "As has been documented, while 100% of Tea Party applications were systematically stopped and scrutinized for a 27-month period, at the same time dozens of progressive applications were approved by the IRS."

To create all the Makefile.ins for a package, run the
automake program in the top level directory, with no
automake will automatically find each
appropriate Makefile.am (by scanning configure.ac;
see configure) and generate the corresponding Makefile.in.
Note that
automake has a rather simplistic view of what
constitutes a package; it assumes that a package has only one
configure.ac, at the top. If your package has multiple
configure.acs, then you must run
automake in each
directory holding a configure.ac. (Alternatively, you may rely
on Autoconf's
autoreconf, which is able to recurse your
package tree and run
automake where appropriate.)
You can optionally give
automake an argument; .am is
appended to the argument and the result is used as the name of the
input file. This feature is generally only used to automatically
rebuild an out-of-date Makefile.in. Note that
automake must always be run from the topmost directory of a
project, even if being used to regenerate the Makefile.in in
some subdirectory. This is necessary because
automake must
scan configure.ac, and because
automake uses the
knowledge that a Makefile.in is in a subdirectory to change its
behavior in some cases.
Automake will run
autoconf to scan configure.ac and
its dependencies (i.e., aclocal.m4 and any included file),
autoconf must be in your
PATH. If there is
AUTOCONF variable in your environment it will be used
instead of
autoconf, this allows you to select a particular
version of Autoconf. By the way, don't misunderstand this paragraph:
automake runs
autoconf to scan your
configure.ac, this won't build configure and you still
have to run
autoconf yourself for this purpose.
automake accepts the following options:
Automake requires certain common files to exist in certain situations;
for instance, config.guess is required if configure.ac invokes
AC_CANONICAL_HOST. Automake is distributed with several of these
files (see Auxiliary Programs); this option will cause the missing
ones to be automatically added to the package, whenever possible. In
general if Automake tells you a file is missing, try using this option.
By default Automake tries to make a symbolic link pointing to its own
copy of the missing file; this can be changed with --copy.
Many of the potentially-missing files are common scripts whose
location may be specified via the
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR macro.
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR's setting affects whether a
file is considered missing, and where the missing file is added
(see Optional).
In some strictness modes, additional files are installed, see Gnits for more information.
Look for Automake data files in directory dir instead of in the installation directory. This is typically used for debugging.
The environment variable
AUTOMAKE_LIBDIR provides another way to
set the directory containing Automake data files. However
--libdir takes precedence over it.
Print the path of the installation directory containing Automake-provided scripts and data files (like e.g., texinfo.texi and install-sh).
When used with --add-missing, causes installed files to be copied. The default is to make a symbolic link.
When used with --add-missing, causes standard files to be reinstalled even if they already exist in the source tree. This involves removing the file from the source tree before creating the new symlink (or, with --copy, copying the new file).
Set the global strictness to foreign. For more information, see Strictness.
Set the global strictness to gnits. For more information, see Gnits.
Set the global strictness to gnu. For more information, see Gnits. This is the default strictness.
Print a summary of the command line options and exit.
This disables the dependency tracking feature in generated Makefiles; see Dependencies.
This enables the dependency tracking feature. This feature is enabled by default. This option is provided for historical reasons only and probably should not be used.
automake creates all Makefile.ins mentioned in
configure.ac. This option causes it to only update those
Makefile.ins that are out of date with respect to one of their
-o dir
Put the generated Makefile.in in the directory dir. Ordinarily each Makefile.in is created in the directory of the corresponding Makefile.am. This option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Cause Automake to print information about which files are being read or created.
Print the version number of Automake and exit.
Output warnings falling in category. category can be one of:
warnings related to the GNU Coding Standards (see The GNU Coding Standards).
obsolete features or constructions
user redefinitions of Automake rules or variables
portability issues (e.g., use of
make features that are
known to be not portable)
extra portability issues related to obscure tools. One example of such
a tool is the Microsoft
lib archiver.
weird syntax, unused variables, typos
unsupported or incomplete features
all the warnings
turn off all the warnings
treat warnings as errors
A category can be turned off by prefixing its name with 'no-'. For instance, -Wno-syntax will hide the warnings about unused variables.
The categories output by default are 'obsolete', 'syntax' and 'unsupported'. Additionally, 'gnu' and 'portability' are enabled in --gnu and --gnits strictness.
Turning off 'portability' will also turn off 'extra-portability', and similarly turning on 'extra-portability' will also turn on 'portability'. However, turning on 'portability' or turning off 'extra-portability' will not affect the other category.
The environment variable
WARNINGS can contain a comma separated
list of categories to enable. It will be taken into account before the
command-line switches, this way -Wnone will also ignore any
warning category enabled by
WARNINGS. This variable is also used
by other tools like
autoconf; unknown categories are ignored
for this reason.
If the environment variable
AUTOMAKE_JOBS contains a positive
number, it is taken as the maximum number of Perl threads to use in
automake for generating multiple Makefile.in files
concurrently. This is an experimental feature.

According to multiple reports Thursday morning, the Dodgers have reached agreement with reliever Brian Wilson on a one-year contract with a player option for 2015.
Wilson will earn $10 million next season. Depending on how many appearances he makes in 2014, he can earn up to $10 million in 2015.
In 18 appearances for the Dodgers in 2013, Wilson went 2-1 with a 0.66 earned-run average. He also tossed six scoreless innings in the playoffs. It was a successful and long-awaited comeback for the bearded right-hander, who underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2012, ending his tenure as the San Francisco Giants' closer.
Wilson saved a major league-leading 163 games from 2008-11 with the Giants. At least one contending team, the Detroit Tigers, were reported to have interest in signing Wilson to close again.
Ultimately Wilson chose to re-sign with his adopted hometown team, who already have a closer in Kenley Jansen and a well-paid set-up man in Brandon League.
League signed a three-year, $22.5 million contract last winter and began the 2013 season as the Dodgers' closer. He quickly regressed, blowing four saves in his first 17 opportunities, and Jansen was installed as the closer in mid-June.
Jansen, who is 53-for-64 in save situations the past two seasons, is eligible for salary arbitration and will earn a raise over his $512,000 salary in 2013. He is expected to close again.
That gives the Dodgers one of baseball's highest-paid eighth-inning relievers in Wilson, and one of its highest-paid middle relievers in League, who will make $8.5 million next season.
The need for additional bullpen help became clear when the Dodgers non-tendered right-hander Ronald Belisario in advance of Monday's deadline. Belisario, one of the team's primary set-up men the past two seasons, could still re-sign with the Dodgers as a free agent.
Bringing back Wilson was the higher priority. The Dodgers still need reserves and a third baseman for 2014, unless shortstop Hanley Ramirez moves to third base to create another vacancy.
General manager Ned Colletti hasn't ruled out adding a starting pitcher to a six-man rotation that includes Chad Billingsley and Josh Beckett, who are attempting to return from season-ending surgeries.
The Dodgers have 17 players under contract for next season for approximately $188.9 million, according to the website Cot's Baseball Contracts. That's within $100,000 of baseball's luxury-tax threshhold, which the Dodgers will surely exceed for the second straight year barring any major trades.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Toronto Maple LeafsNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GAME: Pittsburgh Penguins (16-44-6-4) at Toronto Maple Leafs (38-20-9-3).
TIME: Thursday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
There's little doubt that the Toronto Maple Leafs got better and deeper at Tuesday's trade deadline. They also managed to get older.
Ron Francis, one of several deadline acquisitions for the Maple Leafs, is expected to play his first game for Toronto when the league's oldest team faces one of the youngest - the Pittsburgh Penguins.
For the second consecutive season, Toronto added several veterans at the deadline.
Besides Francis, the fourth-leading scorer in NHL history, the Leafs also picked up center Chad Kilger and lured defenseman Calle Johansson out of retirement. Those moves came after defenseman Brian Leetch was acquired from the New York Rangers on March 3.
The additions of Leetch, Francis and Johansson give Toronto 17 players who are 30 or older. Francis, who turned 41 on March 1, is the older player on the team. He is one of nine players on the current roster that have been captains in the NHL, including current leader Mats Sundin.
"I think it's an opportunity, if this is going to be the end of my career, to finish it in a different way," said Francis, who waived his no-trade clause to go to Toronto. "I would be kicking myself for the next 50 years if I didn't take the chance."
Left wing Gary Roberts, 37, knows remaining healthy will be one of the biggest issues for his team.
"I'm not one of the old guys anymore," Roberts said. "If you're 35 on our team, you're still young. We've been kidding around about that. There's no doubt we are an older group, but I think there is a lot of legs left in the old guys."
Ed Belfour, who turns 39 next month, needed to make just 15 saves for his 72nd career shutout, and Roberts scored twice to lead Toronto to a 5-0 victory over visiting Florida on Tuesday.
The win was the fourth in five games for the Leafs, who moved into a tie with Ottawa for first in the Northeast Division. Toronto is battling Ottawa, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay for the top seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Leafs have outscored the Penguins 17-6 in winning all three meetings this season. Toronto has taken the last five matchups.
Pittsburgh recorded its most impressive win of the season Tuesday, 4-0 over Dallas, which had been unbeaten in nine straight.
Jean-Sebastien Aubin stopped a career-high 45 shots and Matt Bradley and Aleksey Morozov scored second-period goals, leading the Penguins to their third straight win.
"He (Aubin) was outstanding," Pittsburgh's Mike Eastwood said. "What can you say? He won the game for us. Every time we needed him, he came up huge."
Pittsburgh owns the league's worst record, but is 5-2-1 following an 18-game winless streak (0-17-0-1).
The Penguins will be seeking their first four-game win streak since a six-game run from Jan. 17-26, 2002.
STANDINGS: Penguins - 42 points, 5th place, 48 PB, Atlantic Division. Maple Leafs - 88 points, 1st place (tied), Northeast Division.
TEAM LEADERS: Penguins - Ryan Malone, 21 goals; Dick Tarnstrom, 29 assists and 42 points; Brooks Orpik, 115 PIM. Maple Leafs - Sundin, 26 goals, 40 assists and 66 points; Tie Domi, 196 PIM.
SPECIAL TEAMS (through March 10): Penguins - Power play: 15.8 percent (49 for 311), 17th in NHL. Penalty killing: 75.6 percent (239 for 316), 30th. Maple Leafs - Power play: 19.9 percent (65 for 327), 5th. Penalty killing: 84.4 percent (275 for 326), 13th.
GOALTENDERS: Penguins - Aubin (4-8-0, 1 SO, 3.06 GAA); Sebastien Caron (5-22-3, 1, 3.92). Maple Leafs - Belfour (28-16-5, 7, 2.13); Trevor Kidd (5-4-2, 1, 3.15).
SEASON SERIES: Maple Leafs, 3-0.
LAST MEETING: Feb. 16; Maple Leafs, 8-4. At Pittsburgh, Owen Nolan scored two of his team's four power-play goals and added two assists as Toronto handed Pittsburgh its NHL-record 12th straight home loss.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Penguins - 7-22-2-4 on the road; Maple Leafs - 20-11-2-2 at home.

preneur necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 90 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
Infiniti Telecommunications is an online resource for people looking to purchase communications equipment. Infiniti is a leading supplier in Australia and a one stop shop. We are looking to re-skin and re-design our corporate site. The home page has evolved over time and we're looking for a fresh set of eyes to bring our site to life.
We are incorporating a phone school into the site for people that don't know anything but the other elements all need to stay.
A site like this needs to say we're professional, we want to help not scare you away. This is a business to business site. We're not saying serious as a heart attack we're just saying clean and professional with clear messages and objectives.
... and that's where you come in!
Infiniti Telecommunications
We'reafter a clean and clear site to get the user to the specific phone system size/ brand that they need quickly and efficiently (3 clicks). This is for both the"new phone systems" and "used phone systems tabs". Once there, thehandsets (or actual phones) are extremely important and need to be clearlydisplayed in a visually impressive manner. This also applies to mobilephones, cordless phones and the other products that we offer.
Ourtarget audience is business owners and managers so the design will reflect this.Not only do we wish to provide information on the product, we wish to push acall to action of calling or requesting a quote (these buttons and informationare displayed through the site frequently). We also don't want our site toappear like a retail / junk mail catalogue brochure; hence the clear anduncluttered look is what we are aiming for.
Everythingis up for redesign from the logo, to the colours. When it comes to thespecific handset pages we will be using video so this will be the key image. Weare going to use custom video players so please incorporate this into yourdesign as you wish. The videos are being shot at present and we are leaningtoward widescreen but if you have something else that may work, please impressus!
So what we need is a redesign of the index page
The size of system that's right for you page
And a specific handset page
Some images of the phones are zipped here for you use.
Then as a future incentive, the competition winner will then be consideredto design further pages within the site privately. So the prize for thiscontest is only the beginning of a potentially more work with our company.
- · Clean design (information needs to bepresented professionally and clearly, not like a bulletin board). This doesn'tmean that the entire site needs to be on a white background. Splashes of colourare certainly encouraged.
- Menu - Would like this to be at the top still. The same1st level navigation headings are to remain with the exception ofInternet. We are looking to add a 'Phone School' section to ourwebsite. This would need to be visible on the front page and also have a 1stlevel navigation heading.
- Logo to be tech savvy and legible.
- Good use of colour. (This doesn't mean that the site resembles arainbow, but an intelligent colour scheme implemented into the design. Mostpreferably tied back to the logo colours.)
- The site still needs to be designed for1024 x 768 screen resolution. This doesn't mean that the page can't verticallyscroll BUT product images and most relevant information needs to be visiblewithout scrolling.
- Sign up section to be added. This can either be a simple text field witha button or a button on it's own to go to another page.
- The search section needs to be highlighted. It's not prominent and couldbe of a lot more use if it caught people's eye.
- The footer links are presently drab and boring. Obviously these aren'tthe focus point of the site but it's the small things that are appreciated. Becreative with this section as they are important to the site, else theywouldn't be there.
- Phone brand logos are encouraged to be used instead of text.
- At present there are credit card logos at the top of the page. We wouldlike to keep images of these credit cards in the header somewhere and to portraythe site as a safe to do business transactions.
- Common Template designs. Use your imagination.
- No sense of user flow (they are there to choose a phone system for theirbusiness size). We want our customers to be able to be browsing their preferredproduct within 3 clicks.
- Wasting valuable screen space in the header area. We really want theimages of the products to sell themselves and be visible without scrolling.

Experts: No firm evidence of Iranian nuclear weapons
WASHINGTON — Despite President Bush's claims that Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons that could trigger "World War III," experts in and out of government say there's no conclusive evidence that Tehran has an active nuclear-weapons program.
Even his own administration appears divided about the immediacy of the threat. While Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney speak of an Iranian weapons program as a fact, Bush's point man on Iran, Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns, has attempted to ratchet down the rhetoric.
"Iran is seeking a nuclear capability ... that some people fear might lead to a nuclear-weapons capability," Burns said in an interview Oct. 25 on PBS.
"I don't think that anyone right today thinks they're working on a bomb," said another U.S. official, who requested anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity. Outside experts say the operative words are "right today." They say Iran may have been actively seeking to create a nuclear-weapons capacity in the past and still could break out of its current uranium-enrichment program and start a weapons program. They too lack definitive proof, but cite a great deal of circumstantial evidence. Bush's rhetoric seems hyperbolic compared with the measured statements by his senior aides and outside experts.
"I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them (Iran) from having the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon," he said Oct. 17 at a news conference.
"Our country, and the entire international community, cannot stand by as a terror-supporting state fulfills its grandest ambitions," Cheney warned on Oct 23. "We will not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon."
Bush and Cheney's allegations are under especially close scrutiny because their similar allegations about an Iraqi nuclear program proved to be wrong. Nevertheless, there are many reasons to be skeptical of Iran's claims that its nuclear program is intended exclusively for peaceful purposes, including the country's vast petroleum reserves, its dealings with a Pakistani dealer in black-market nuclear technology and the fact that it concealed its uranium-enrichment program from a U.N. watchdog agency for 18 years.
"Many aspects of Iran's past nuclear program and behavior make more sense if this program was set up for military rather than civilian purposes," Pierre Goldschmidt, a former U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency deputy director general, said in a speech Oct. 30 at Harvard University.
If conclusive proof exists, however, Bush hasn't revealed it. Nor have four years of IAEA inspections.
"I have not received any information that there is a concrete active nuclear-weapons program going on right now," IAEA Director General Mohamed ElBaradei asserted in an interview Oct. 31 with CNN.
"There is no smoking-gun proof of work on a nuclear weapon, but there is enough evidence that points in that direction," said Mark Fitzpatrick of the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies, a former deputy assistant secretary of state for nonproliferation controls.
New light may be shed when the IAEA reports this month on whether Iran is fulfilling an August accord to answer all outstanding questions about the nuclear-enrichment program it long concealed from the U.N. watchdog agency.
Its report is expected to focus on Iran's work with devices that spin uranium hexafluoride gas to produce low-enriched uranium for power plants or highly enriched uranium for weapons, depending on the duration of the process.
Iran asserts that it's working only with the P1, an older centrifuge that it admitted buying in 1987 from an international black-market network headed by A.Q. Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.
But IAEA inspectors determined that Iran failed to reveal that it had obtained blueprints for the P2, a centrifuge twice as efficient as the P1, from the Khan network in 1995.
Iranian officials say they did nothing with the blueprints until 2002, when they were given to a private firm that produced and tested seven modified P2 parts, then abandoned the effort.
IAEA inspectors, however, discovered that Iran sought to buy thousands of specialized magnets for P2s from European suppliers, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said last year that research on the centrifuges continued.
The IAEA has been stymied in trying to discover the project's scope, fueling suspicions that the Iranian military may be secretly running a P2 development program parallel to the civilian-run P1 program at Natanz.
Other issues driving concerns that Iran may be developing nuclear weapons:
The CIA turned over to the IAEA last year thousands of pages of computer simulations and documents — purportedly from a defector's laptop — that indicated that Iranian experts studied mounting a nuclear warhead on a ballistic missile.
The laptop also contained drawings and notes on sophisticated detonators and conventional high explosives arrayed in a ring — the shape used to trigger nuclear weapons — and implicated a firm linked to Iran's military in uranium-enrichment studies.
The documents included drawings of a 1,200-foot-deep underground shaft apparently designed to confine a nuclear test explosion. Iran denounced the materials as "politically motivated and baseless," but promised to cooperate with an IAEA investigation into so-called Project 111 once other questions are settled. U.S., French, German and British intelligence officials think the materials are genuine. "I wouldn't go to war over this, but it's reason for suspicion," Fitzpatrick said. "It hasn't been explained." Muhammad Sahimi, a professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Southern California who emigrated from Iran in 1978 and has analyzed Iran's nuclear program closely, dismissed the materials as "totally not believable." Noting how carefully Iranian intelligence agencies monitor the program and the borders, he said, "If the laptop did exist, I find it hard to believe that its absence wasn't noticed for so long that somebody could take it out of Iran."
ElBaradei revealed in November 2005 that Iran had a document supplied by the Khan network on casting and milling uranium metal into hemispheres. Uranium hemispheres have no application in power plants, but form the explosive cores of nuclear weapons. Iran denied asking for the document or doing anything with it. It barred the IAEA from making copies but agreed to have it placed under seal. IAEA investigators have been interviewing Khan network members to verify Iran's version of how it got the document. They also have been looking into whether Iran received a Chinese warhead design from the Khan network. Libya, which bought the same materials Iran did, had the design.
Iran has failed since 2003 to satisfy IAEA inquiries about experiments it conducted from 1989 to 1993 that produced Polonium-210.
Polonium-210 is a highly radioactive substance that has limited civilian applications but is used in warheads to initiate the fission chain reaction that results in a nuclear blast.
IAEA inspectors want to know why and how the same military-linked company that's been implicated in the laptop materials was able to develop a uranium mine and a milling facility in a year when Iran has said the firm has limited experience in such work.
Many U.S. and European officials dispute Iran's claim that it needs to enrich uranium for nuclear power plants. They point out that the only Iranian nuclear power plant under construction is being built by Russia, which has an agreement to supply it with low-enriched uranium fuel for 10 years.
Moreover, they contend that Iran doesn't have enough uranium to provide fuel for the lifetimes of the seven to 10 civilian reactors it says it needs to meet the demands of its growing population. It would be far cheaper for Iran to expand domestic consumption of natural gas, of which it has the world's second-largest reserves, and oil, of which it has the world's third-largest reserves, according to a study by the Los Alamos National Laboratory. But Sahimi argued that given the skyrocketing price of oil and natural gas, it makes more sense for Iran to export as much petroleum and natural gas as possible and fill its power needs with nuclear-generated electricity. "The price of uranium since 2001 has increased by 800 percent. Iran's presently known resources can supply enriched uranium for seven reactors for 15 years," he said. "It would be foolish not to go after a domestic uranium facility ... given that, the price of enriched uranium, and the political obstacles and hindrance (Iran faces) if it decides to rely on outside suppliers."

BioShock movie loses director, put on hold
The BioShock movie has lost another director, and has once again been put on hold.
Progress moves slowly in Hollywood. Take BioShock and its associated movie project. The film has stalled over and over again, and now it's hit another roadblock. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director brought in after Gore Verbinksi left the project, has said that he's no longer attached.
"To be honest, by now, I'm completely out of that, and developing other stuff," Fresnadillo told IndieWire (via Gamasutra). "Right now it's on hold. The studio and the video game company, they have to reach some kind of agreement about the budget and the rating."
The budget has long been a major consideration for the project, which is no surprise after so many high-profile video game adaptations have flopped. The ratings issue is particularly notable for fans, since the mood of the game would lend itself to an R-rating -- but R-rated movies don't usually bring in audiences the way PG-13 films do. As of four months ago, BioShock creator Ken Levine said the project is "still in the conversation," but was non-committal about plans. Now that the project has been put on hold yet again, it's hard to tell when we'll hear more.
Steve Watts posted a new article, BioShock movie loses director, put on hold.

For many years, the twin towers of the Eldorado on Central Park West have been a quiet refuge for Bono and Adam.
Bono, sold his co-op there in 2008 after buying a bigger apartment farther down the street. Now Adam Clayton, has put his own three-bedroom co-op at the Eldorado on the market for $8.695 million.
The listing, by Emma and Michael Kerins of Halstead Property, shows a large co-op on the fourth floor with a 38-foot-long gallery, a formal dining room and seven large windows facing Central Park.
That large space was re-created by Mr. Clayton. During weaker times when the apartment was a rental, it had been chopped up into two separate units.
Mr. Clayton bought them in two transactions in the early 1990s and recombined them, according to Linda Reiner, a broker at Warburg Realty, who has lived at the Eldorado for three decades.
One apartment was purchased for $620,000 in 1993 and the other went for $430,000 the following January, according to transaction records compiled by Jonathan Miller an appraiser and president of Miller Samuel Inc.
The co-op was listed without fanfare earlier this month by Ms. Kerins, who declined to discuss it. A representative of U2 referred a caller to Ms. Kerins.
When Mr. Clayton renovated, he modified the apartment's original layout. He eliminated one small bedroom in what had been a four-bedroom apartment to create a master-bedroom suite, with a large bathroom and a 9-by-10-foot dressing room.
Two maids' rooms were replaced with a 22-foot-long eat-in kitchen with a butler's pantry.

Op-Ed: Let representatives hear you on gun control
The N.R.A. and gun-rights advocates are quick to use the Constitution to defend unfettered access to even the most lethal firearms. But before the Constitution there was the Declaration of Independence, which asserts that we are endowed with certain unalienable rights, including those of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It continues, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted..."
It is time now for government to protect our right to life from the threat of gun violence. It is time for politicians to put this right on the same pedestal they afford the right to bear arms. It is time for them to heed Supreme Court Justice Scalia, who said, "like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited." The Court, in District of Columbia v. Heller, was clear about the need for gun regulation: "nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on ... laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms." It even went so far as to recognize the right of government to prohibit, "the carrying of `dangerous and unusual weapons.'"
Some are defending the status quo by claiming that common sense gun regulations won't protect us from all incidents of gun violence. President Obama in the State of the Union address said what is obvious to most folks: "Our actions will not prevent every senseless act of violence in this country. In fact, no laws, no initiatives, no administrative acts will perfectly solve all the challenges ... But we were never sent here to be perfect. We were sent here to make what difference we can ..."
Common sense regulation is urgently needed to protect the lives of Americans in their places of work, houses of worship, shopping centers, movie theaters, parks and schools. Among these are universal background checks for gun and ammunition purchases, stricter bans on military-style assault weapons, bans on high-capacity gun magazines, and registration of firearms. None of these restrict the ability of law-abiding citizens to own guns, any more so than vehicle registration makes it impossible to own a car or TSA security checks make it impossible to board a plane.
But little is going to change unless concerned citizens speak out and demand action from politicians. Greenwich has very effective advocates in Washington -- Senators Blumenthal and Murphy, and Representative Himes -- who are publicly and vocally pushing for more effective gun regulation. But they need our support in the face of a gun lobby that not only opposes any restriction on gun ownership, but recommends a rush to arms as the solution to gun violence that kills 30,000 Americans every year. In the words of N.R.A. Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre, "The enemies of the Second Amendment will be met with unprecedented defiance, commitment and determination. We will stand and fight."
The Greenwich delegation to the Connecticut General Assembly -- Senator Frantz and Representatives Floren, Camillo and Walko -- need our encouragement. We need them to join other Connecticut legislators who are showing leadership by publicly and forcefully making the case for tighter gun laws. In the aftermath of the Newtown tragedy, Connecticut has a unique opportunity and the moral authority to convince law-abiding Americans and their political representatives that sensible limitations on gun ownership are vital to public safety.
At the March for Change rally in Hartford, one legislator noted he is being overwhelmed with email from those opposed to gun regulation. Yet polls show that a majority of Americans, including gun owners and N.R.A. members, favor tighter gun laws. But many politicians are hesitant to speak out and vote in favor of sensible gun regulation without hearing from this silent majority. The time to act is now (contact information for elected officials representing Greenwich can be found at the website of the League of Women Voters of Greenwich, www.lwvg.org).
According to Slate, at least 1,850 Americans have been killed by guns since the Newtown massacre. We can't afford to wait.
Jonathan Perloe is a member of the Greenwich Democratic Town Committee.

Emerging reports on the two recent train crashes in Europe suggest, ever so sadly, that they could have been avoided. In Spain, the engineer appears to have been talking on the phone and looking at documents while speeding. In Switzerland, one driver seems to have failed to stop at a signal and let another train pass, leading to their collision. Human errors are human nature, but these particular mistakes carried tragic consequences.
In the aftermath of a major train crash, let alone a pair in close succession, it's imperative to remember that train accidents are exceedingly rare. That's more or less true around the world, Yonah Freemark reminds us at CNN.com, with high-speed rail in particular performing incredibly well. Writing here earlier this week, Emily Badger pointed out that Americans are less likely to die in a train crash than in a boating accident.
Indeed, in the past decade or so, the few U.S. accidents that have occurred have trended downward (via GAO):
Of course the sad exceptions are what stick most in our collective minds. Perhaps the worst during this period was the September 2008 collision in Los Angeles between a Metrolink commuter train and a freight train that killed 25 people and injured more than a hundred. That accident was the result of human error, too, with startling similarities to what occurred recently in Europe: an engineer who was texting at the controls and, likely as a result, missed a stop signal.
If there's anything good about these incidents it's that they often spark a conversation about safety that's easy to defer in brighter times. Less than a month after the Metrolink crash, Congress adopted the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008. The law's biggest measure was the mandatory implementation by intercity and commuter trains (as well as some large freight lines) of a billion-dollar technology called "positive train control."
The promise of PTC, according to the legislation, was to eliminate precisely the types of human errors responsible for the Metrolink and similar crashes: "train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and the movement of a train through a switch left in the wrong position."
PTC essentially creates a communication network connecting locomotives, central dispatchers, and wayside signals along the track — all continuously drawing information about speed limits, track configuration, and vital switches from a master database. In other words, the system not only knows where a train is located at all times, but how fast it should be going and whether there's a potential conflict ahead. If a problem does arise and an engineer fails to notice it in time, PTC then assumes the controls and hits the brakes.
Simply put, the PTC system is fantastic on paper, and very likely would have prevented the aforementioned accidents in Los Angeles, Spain, and Switzerland. That's a wonderful thing, but it's not to say that PTC will end the discussion of rail safety once and for all. On the contrary, its scope is limited, its cost is great, and its implementation has been beset by complications.
For starters, the benefits of positive train control are largely limited to accidents caused by human errors. In the United States these account for 35 percent of all crashes; that's a considerable share, to be sure, but far from an exhaustive one. Another third of accidents are caused by poor tracks, and many others come as a result of faulty equipment, grade crossings, or general track interference.
The Metro North crash that injured dozens of people this past May, for instance, occurred by way of a broken rail — a situation that falls outside PTC's domain.
Additionally, PTC is an unfunded mandate that stands to cost rail providers an enormous amount of money. The GAO recently estimated PTC implementation at somewhere between $6.7 billion and $22.5 billion [PDF]. A few operators have found the money — with Amtrak leading the way, and Metrolink nearly done, too — but others are struggling to keep up. The MTA (which runs Metro North and the Long Island Railroad) shelved all sorts of service plans to make room in the budget for PTC, despite having one of the best safety records in the country.
Some operators believe that money could be better spent in other ways. All sorts of technological upgrades are available at the moment: from new sensors that detect cracks in the rail (especially important for high-speed trains) to electronically controlled pneumatic brakes to smarter "crush zones" designed to absorb the impact of a collision. But according to the GAO, many railroads can't even afford to consider these options "because of the costs they are incurring to implement PTC."
For that matter, some industry experts aren't so sure PTC should be implemented at all. The CEO of Union Pacific called the PTC law a "terrible waste" back in 2011. More recently, one rail consultant told The Verge that it's "insane" to force railroads to spend billions on a technology considering the fact that so few people have died in train crashes in recent years. Another expert said PTC fails to satisfy both railroad operators and safety advocates alike.
In a recent piece for Bloomberg, rail historian Albert Churella outlines an even scarier scenario: the high cost of implementing PTC might lead railroads to raise their rates enough to push passengers and freight into cars and trucks — where of course they run a much higher risk of being involved in a crash. That would be a terrible irony, but not an unprecedented one. The same outcome has occurred in the aftermath of terrorist attacks around the world.
To top it all off, the one thing everyone agrees on is that there's no chance PTC will be implemented by the Congressional deadline of December 31, 2015. (One rail advocate called it "simply impossible.") Since the system relies on the ability of operators to communicate with each other, its full impact can't be realized until the upgrade is in place in every locomotive, central office, and wayside signal across the country.
The Federal Railroad Administration has recognized these hurdles and is searching for some middle ground. In a 2012 report, FRA recommended that Congress consider extending the PTC deadline and also allowing the agency to grant some leniency to systems that have adopted other safety measures. At a recent Congressional hearing, FRA chief Joseph Szabo said his agency could consider granting exemptions on a case-by-case basis, though whether or not lawmakers will go along with that plan remains to be seen.
The good news is that, at least to this point, no one seems to be suggesting that Congress rescind the positive train control mandate. That would be the bureaucratic equivalent of a train crash, and a bad one at that; without question, riding the rails in the United States will be safer with PTC in place. At some point quite soon, however, we will have to face very tough questions about whether the great cost of safety improvements is worth a small reduction in safety risk — and also the very tough truth that some accidents will happen no matter how much we want to stop them.

JustLikeMyChild.org necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 34 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Design a logo to use on all presentation materials (powerpoints, brochures, manuals, promotional material) for new fundraising campaign targetted at elementary, middle and high school students to raise money (spare change) to purchase bed nets to prevent the spread of Malaria in rural Uganda.
Just Like My Child Foundation is committed to transforming the lives of women and children in rural Uganda, East Africa through improved health care, education, and economic development. Part of our commitment is to curb the incidence of malaria -- a disease that in effect is "death by mosquito." Every 30 seconds a child DIES of malaria in Africa, yet it's a completey treatable, preventable disaese.
The Be The Change Fundraising Campaign: Spare Change (dollars and coins) bringing BIG change to the fight against Malaria is designed to get kids at all grade levels involved in philanthropy/service, becoming aware of issues like Malaria in other countries such as Uganda, and taking action to make a difference. We want to inspire kids to think of creative ways to raise money and make donations to Just Like My Child so we can purchase and distribute insecticide treated bed nets to pregnant women and children in rural Uganda.
Each net costs just $10 each and protects up to three children, or two children and a pregnant mother every night that they sleep under it.
We want a logo designed for the "Be The Change" campaign that makes it visually apparent immediately that there's a play on words: Mahatma Ghandi said, "You Must Be the Change You Wish to See in the World" so we're using the "Be The Change" as an inspiration for children to take on philanthropy in their world, but we're also linking it to something every kid in the U.S. has access to: Spare Change.
"The Change" is in essence "spare change". So there should be some use of dimes, nickels, quarters in the solution so the connection is simple and might cause a chuckle, like, "oh, I get: changing lives through spare change."
- Item 1...Tagline: Be the Change...spare change bringing BIG change to the fight against Malaria
- Complimentary color scheme to Just Like My Child Foundation logo (see http://www.justlikemychild.org <http://www.justlikemychild.org/> )
- Possibly use a variation of the "hand" in JLMC logo to show coins being dropped into jar/or bed net; or in the palm of the hand.
- Kid-friendly, interesting to students and teachers in grades K-12 in California and beyond
- Convey concepts of money (coins and dollar bills) and insecticide treated bed nets = saving lives
- Flexible that can be used for variety of media and sizes (on posters, stamps, websites,
- Clunky -- too kid-centric so older kids won't find it appealing
- only looks good in one size. Must work in a huge format, or tiny.

"For Colored Girls" Perry's Rainbow is Enuf
A review of Tyler Perry's latest film "For Colored Girls"
In the movie "For Colored Girls," distributed
by Lionsgate, Crystal (Kimberly Elise) tells her war veteran husband
Beau Willie (Michael Ealy) that she has loved him ever since they were
14-years-old. Yet love proves its not enough in this time honored tale
of "For Colored Girls," Tyler Perry's film portrayal of Ntozake Shange's
1970's lyrical stage play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered
Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf."
There is a lovely scene where
Whoopie Goldberg (Alice) and Thandie Newton (Tangie) recites Shange's
poetry. Whoopie's character (a religious fanatic) tends to use religion
and the bible as a weapon which only serves to alienate her daughters.
The verse they recite speaks perfectly to their relationship. Thandie
Newton who plays Whoopie's elder daughter Tangie both loves and hates
her mother. Tangie hides a lot of inner pain. Pain that has corrupted
her and caused her to lose her moral compass. She barely speaks to her
mother and sister and uses men sexually yet is shocked when one of her
conquests thinks she is a prostitute. Tangie's philosophy is that men
should be treated sexually the same way they treat women. She abandons
her younger sister Nyla (Tessa Thompson), who gets pregnant the very
first time she tries love and ends up on Rose's (Macy Gray) abortion
table, alone and terrified. Anika Noni Rose plays Yasmine, a dance
instructor, whose joy in her dancing is suddenly and forever shattered
when she invites the wrong man into her home. Kerry Washington (Kelly)is
a child welfare worker who is desperately trying to have a child of her
own but is too late to help Crystal's children. Janet Jackson plays Jo,
(a stone faced business woman who has hardened over the years). Jo has
lost her soul to her work and has no compassion for those around her.
Ms. Jackson is becoming a fine actress if her Tyler Perry "Why Did I Get
Married" films are any indication. However, something of her portrayal
of Jo, reminded me of Miranda Priestly's character in (The Devil Wears
Prada). The divine Loretta Devine plays Juanita, an aging Family
Planning counselor who keeps taking back a "no goodnik" man she should
of discarded long ago. Phylicia Rashad plays Gilda the apartment
manager who holds the keys to everyone's apartment and everyone's
Omari Hardwick as Carl, Hill Harper as Donald, Jaycee
Williams as Kenya, Thomas Jessup as Kwame and John Crow as Dr. Davis
portray the male characters in the movie. Some would say that the male
characters are cast in a bad light. Not all were. I wish to clarify
that the male characters signified the men Shange scripted in her
controversial 1970s play. These male characters could have been any man
of any race but happened to be black. They do not represent the
majority of black men.
"For Colored Girls," was a sensation upon
its debut in 1975, when Ntozake Shange wrote the piece back in the '70s. Ms.
Shange called her play a "choreopoem." The play consisted of 20 poems,
and some musical tunes and song and dance numbers, much of it
documenting Shange's own personal experiences and attempts at
suicide. In her play she identified each character with a color
relating it to the rainbow, although brown, purple, green, blue and
orange were also incorporated into the color spectrum. Tyler depicted
colors via apparel with Jo wearing red. Whoopie's character, white,
Tangie, orange, Juanita, green, Yasmine, yellow, Nyla, purple, and
Crystal, Brown, etc.
When Shange first wrote her play "For
Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" she
stated the play was raw and honest including the lost of virginity,
abortion, rape, and the need of all the characters to find love despite
some unpleasant experiences.
I think Tyler Perry has done a
fine job with this tear jerker. "For Colored Girls" holds the viewer
spell bound. Some will love it and others not but all who see this movie
will not forget it.
When I interviewed Tyler Perry he mentioned
that based on the request of his fan base he continues to do the Medea
character but wants to broaden his horizons and branch out with other
types of movies and characters. His "Married" series and now "Colored
Girls" are proof of his desire to get away from what some have tagged
"coonery" films. Although, Perry is mostly known by black people, one
cannot branch out in the film business unless they are working with
those who reign over the entertainment business. I suspect Tyler gave
those business entities what they wanted until he could put himself in a
position to put more positive work out. He is now at that place.
Thus, hopefully his "Mr. Payne" and "Mr. Brown" characters will become a
distant past replaced by more positive intelligent images of black
folks. But believe it or not, the success of the Mr. Paynes and Mr.
Browns are due to the support of black audiences that support and like
them. Therefore, like it or not, those blaming Perry for his minstrel
movies must admit that his popularity stems from the vast black audience
who continue to demand and support those chitlin circuit productions
that Tyler Perry critics call his "coonery/buffoonery" movies and plays.
So if we are to blame Tyler Perry we must also blame those among us
that love and pay money to see this type of comedy.
"For Colored Girls" is now in theaters near you.

GilDear teachers,
Right at noon today, my student texted me asking about how to improve her sentence, which she would like to use in her writing assignment. The sentence goes as follows:
I still remembered 2008, an eventful year, has witnessed life teemed with miracles that we could survive all disasters occurred frequently with powerful will and extraordinary courage.
The following is my revision:
I still remember 2008, an eventful year, which witnessed life teeming with miracles proving
/demonstratingthat we can survive all natural disasters occurring frequentlywith our powerful will and extraordinary courage.
I am sure that there is still lots of room for improvement regarding my revision, but I do not know how to further improve it except that I faintly sense that there is the redundancy problem with the part of "our powerful will and extraordinary courage". Would you please help me to make the sentence sound natural? Thanks a lot.
I have no problem with "powerful will" and "extraordinary courage". They are different facets of a person's character. The part about "occurring frequently" is out of place here.

Tsundoku – The art of reading too little
http://suvoroffcustoms.com/18182-female-viagra-uk.html Tsundoku: (n) buying books and not reading them; Letting books pile up unread on shelves, nightstands and floors.
Every writer has been given the talk about how in order to improve your writing you should do one thing above all else. Read, read, read. And how many of us end up in tsundoku? How many of us leave these words to sit on the page, undiscovered, untapped, unlearnt? However, I'm not here to talk about how much we should be read, read, reading. Today I'd like to talk about joy.
Specifically, the joy of discovering a new word. You see, I had never known tsundoku had an actual word tied to it. I had just thought that letting books you meant to read sit and collect dust required just the whole thing said as I have just said it. To have it broken down into three syllables, a few hiragana, a few kanji, and to finally learn it, it's a sort of joy I've only recently found.
As with my absolute favorite word, sonder, I found a sudden sense of wonder at the world around us, and the words in which we use to describe it. Since, I have added a list in my bullet journal that I call 'New Words'. In this, I have collected several words that have caught my interest and that I'm attempting to use in every day life and in my writing. Along with it, I've included a few other lists. "Word roots" to teach myself more about the roots of these beautiful words we use to communicate. "Daily details" to record the symbolisms and tiny beauties in my daily life. "Six word stories" to begin practicing brevity.
These are things I want to incorporate into my life so that I never lose the childlike wonder I had when I first cracked open a book and then devoured it in a single afternoon. I hope to never lose the wonder my child-self felt, but sometimes I feel it slipping away. In those moments, little discoveries like this bring it back forthwith.
I leave you with a list of places to search out new words:
- The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
- The Oxford Dictionary
- Deshoda
- Buzzfeed's list of the most beautiful words

Having everything you build have a countdown script is turning the servers into jelly, though. xD
I usually play on a friend's server and he has buildings set as permanent. Official server's worked smooth for me too so far. I think everything set down there is wiped weekly.
My friends ended up getting their own server, and we installed two mods to basically add more RP things and fix certain things on the servers. We put in Age of Calamitous and Pippi's Mod. So much better than the base game. It splits chat into tabs for each channel.

Become an Industry Leader in Public Administration
There is an increasing need for leaders in the public sector as approximately 550,000 federal employees prepare for retirement. This transition is energizing the already strong demand for trained public administration professionals in the nonprofit and nongovernmental sectors.
A master's degree in public administration (MPA) is the accepted professional credential for public service professionals. By earning this degree, you can gain the skill set required to become an effective and highly in-demand leader, with the flexibility to move between government and nongovernmental careers.
To help meet your career goals, Penn State World Campus has partnered with Penn State Harrisburg's School of Public Affairs to offer you an online MPA degree.
Penn State's Online Master of Public Administration Degree
Our MPA program is designed to help you enhance your ability to understand, analyze, and control your organizational environment to manage more effectively and to promote positive change in the public and nonprofit sectors.
In addition to blending theoretical and applied concepts, the curriculum covers organizational governance, finance, and administration while also providing "real-world" experiences for the novice administrator. The MPA program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), and offers elective courses from many areas including:
- nonprofit management
- policy analysis and evaluation
- public budgeting and financial management
- state-local government and administration
- homeland security
Online Graduate Certificates
You may also apply for one of the online graduate certificates in public administration. Courses in the certificates are also part of the master's program, allowing you the flexibility to earn both at the same time — if you apply and are granted admission.
Students may earn the Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security, embedded in the Public Administration program, by choosing the 12 homeland security elective credits associated with the certificate.

Who Should Apply?
If you are interested in a career in government, public management, health and human services, and other public or nonprofit organizations, and you want to make an impact on the issues and problems that affect the general public, this could be the program for you
Career Opportunities for Graduates
As an MPA graduate, you can hone your skills and knowledge to advance to middle- and upper-level management positions. Many MPA graduates work as administrators for government agencies, larger corporations in the public and private sectors, community organizations, or in a number of other areas such as tribal politics, charities, criminal justice, and academia.
MPA graduates also enter careers as grant writers, transportation managers, personnel administrators, policy analysts, and managers of various departments within cities and counties.
Typical jobs for the MPA graduate include:
- accountant/auditor
- attorney
- bank officer
- benefits administrator
- college administrator
- consultant
- criminal justice administrator
- financial aid officer
- health care administrator
- hospital administrator

Senators' Kids Steal the Show at Mock Swear-In
(WASHINGTON) -- They have been sworn into the Senate Thursday, but for Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), their kids were the ones who stole the show.
First was Gillibrand's son, held atop his mother's hip as she lightly touched the Bible during a mock swear-in with Vice President Joe Biden.
Midway through the oath, Gillibrand's son reached out his hand and ruffled his mom's hair. With a big smile, Gillibrand proceeded with the oath as she tried to tamp down her hair.
Then came Murphy, who carried his son in one arm as he participated in the mock swear-in. (The real swearing-in occurs on the Senate floor; this particular one is a re-enactment for families, friends and photos.) As Murphy lifted his hand to take the oath, the toddler raised his hand as well, providing a perfect photo op for Murphy and his young son together being sworn in as a senator.
And as Catherine Cruz, the youngest daughter of the new Republican senator from Texas, started to cry, Biden quickly picked her up and joked about himself, "That's a Democrat, I know but that's O.K."
Cruz's wife Heidi quipped back, "She cries loudly for Republicans too."

Cheese, and Pickled Garlic Scapes
Tucked under the eve of the house, light fading, and amid swirling winds from the on-coming Hurricane, we set up our Fall feast.

Luscious Walnut Caramel Tart and (below) Rustic Apple Tart
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The day before Hurricane Sandy, we all went up to the country, and we brought along gifts.
The countryside's haunting, unassuming beauty always surprises me, and while there is nothing wrong with the city, in the country I can breathe easier, there's a slower pace, and I can stop, take a moment, and not rush at all.
Kaitlyn Du Ross brought up a stack of beautiful linens, some knitted throws, and her squat, fawn-colored dishes, overflowed. Anna Helm Baxter and I drove up with the food. Her lemon-y, crunchy, roasted chicken was perfect, my sweet potato anna set the oven on fire.
I'd pickled some eggs, too, in ruby-red beet juice, and Anna had made us two pies; a tart, choc-full of walnuts buried deep in a hot caramel sauce and an apple pie, rustic-style, with a free-from dough.
I made biscuits using Scott Peacock's recipe from Kim Severson. The dough was flaky, light. The secret is stabbing it with a flour-dipped fork, repeatedly. Funnily enough that's what makes it rise. In my first batch, I didn't do it, and they were flat, and tough, like circular hockey pucks.
Photographer Justin Walker bought his camera and his axe, and proceeded to make light work of the boughs, and tree limbs that ended up in short stacked little logs. As the winds started to swirl, from the much-to-close Hurricane, Kaitlyn donned a wintery sweater, Justin pulled out a deck of cards and Anna emerged with her feast, and we hunkered down, to eat, almost holding our breaths, waiting for what surely was to come...

DRY-BRINED ROAST CHICKEN with LEMON, GARLIC & SHALLOTS An ingenious idea: "Dry-brining" gives the chicken maximum flavor. From Anna Helm Baxter
"The chicken I added kosher salt (maybe 4 TBSP) and rubbed all over placed in a ziplock for 24 hours. I then dry off the chicken with paper towel and rubbed with softenened butter all over. I re-seasoned, stuffed it with rosemary, thyme, lemon and garlic cloves cut in half through the equator and cooked at 425F for 1 hour, until golden and the juices run clear when a skewer pokes into the thigh."
WALNUT CARAMEL TART Originally from Mary Cadogan at BBC's Good Food, adapted by Anna Helm Baxter.
6oz plain flour 3oz butter, cut into small cubes 2oz caster sugar 1 egg yolk FOR THE FILLING 7oz caster sugar 4oz butter, cut into small pieces 7fl oz whipping cream 7oz shelled walnut halves
Heat oven to 375F. Put the flour in a food processor with the butter and sugar and mix until it forms fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and 1-2 Tbsp cold water and pulse to make a firm dough. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Have ready a pie dish. Briefly knead the pastry on a lightly floured surface, then roll out to a round about 2 inches larger than your pie pan. Lift on to the pan with the help of your rolling pin, then press into the corners using your finger. Trim and shape dough. Chill for 30 minutes
Fill the pastry case with a round of parchment and baking beans. Blind-bake for 10 minutes, remove the paper and beans and bake for a further 5-10 minutes until the crust looks dry and is very slightly golden.
To make the filling, put the sugar in a large pan with 3 Tbsp cold water. Heat gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. When the sugar is completely dissolved, increase heat and bubble until the syrup has turned a rich caramel color. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until it has dissolved, then stir in the cream. Return to the heat and boil hard, stirring until the sauce is thick enough to leave a gap on the base of the pan when you draw your spoon across it. Stir in the walnuts.
Fill the pastry case with the nut mixture, leveling it with a fork. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool.

*Hublot "New Productions 2013"
Hublot the Classic Fusion Skeleton Tourbillon Black Ceramic
A black ceramic skeleton tourbillon watch with a slimmer, more classic profile, but which features an all-black design in line with Hublot's graphic codes. We present the Classic Fusion Black Ceramic Skeleton Tourbillon, one of Hublot's major new arrivals for the start of 2013.
Sleek and contemporary but with a timeless elegance drawn from traditional watchmaking values to create one of the kings amongst complications, this piece is truly striking with its satin-finished and polished black ceramic case and resolutely graphic skeleton tourbillon movement, designed, developed and produced from start to finish in the workshops of the Hublot Manufacture.
On the dial, it is worth noting that the hands are similar in design to those on the very first Hublot watches: a clever reference to the history of the brand. This timepiece benefits from a 120-hour power reserve and is watertight to 30 metres.
With the tourbillon's classic style and the ultramodern, sleek black design, this limited series comprising just 99 numbered pieces perfectly demonstrates the principle of fusing tradition and modernity, outstanding craftsmanship and 21st century creative vision in watchmaking.
