At the end of the session, I offered three key takeaways for companies interested in starting or improving their employee engagement programs (these are all Twitter-friendly nuggets):
Tip 1: Approach it from bottom up AND top down. Show execs why they should care and arm people with tools/training to participate #ciscosmt
Tip 2: Think long-term but celebrate the quick wins. Evangelize them to grow the program and create a sense of community #ciscosmt
Tip 3: Do not underestimate the power of employees. This is why/how we do it http://cs.co/CiscoSMPlaybook #ciscosmt
If you think of your general employee population in terms of the alphabet, think of your employees as almost-complete T's and I's, and your executives as the people who can help cross those T's and dot those I's. Why? They can help open doors for you. They can help support and evangelize your efforts, thus bringing in more participants and driving social media adoption deeper into your company. But where do you start?
1. Understand them: Learn what executives care about and speak their language. Last year we interviewed a few executives on why and how they engage in social media.
2. Arm them: Show the value of companywide engagement and let your executives know why you are doing this and how this is going to benefit the company, the team, and them:
- If you are just starting out, share success stories from other companies.
- If you recently started your program, find a pilot program/group to partner with and share their success.
- If you have been at it for a while, keep bringing success stories to your executives.
3. Engage them: Engaging them may not necessarily mean asking them to use social media themselves although it's a very big plus.
- At a minimum, executives should understand the impact they can create by allowing and encouraging their teams to participate in social media. Of course, having active executives in social media is the icing on the cake (and a whole other blog topic…).
- Partner with an executive to pilot your program with his or her team. Outline the program plan with milestones and metrics, and explain what the engagement will entail.
- Help your executives and their teams become successful in social media. Make it easy yet meaningful for them to participate. Training, consulting, pre-written, sample social content, and specific instructions on how to participate can all help.
4. Find a champion: This is a big one. You may only have one executive champion initially. There are different ways you can go about this:
- Invite them to a social media session with your team's executive and/or plug your program into existing executive information sharing programs to raise awareness.
- Take notice of executives that tend to be supportive of your efforts, ask questions and/or want to learn more.
- Do a search on which executives may already have public social media profiles or might be open to having them. This indicates natural interest in social media.
- Conduct exploratory meetings with them, their executive communications managers and/or direct reports about your initiative. If you can tie social engagement to a larger initiative that the executive cares about, more power to you. Build relationships with their assistants, executive communication managers and direct reports as they can help advocate for your program…and ultimately encourage the executive to become your champion.
- Just ask!
5. Ask them:
- Ask them to share your case studies, send communications and otherwise raise awareness of your program widely.
- Ask them to recognize and highlight the efforts of team members who are participating in your Social Ambassador program.
- Ask them to evangelize your program and successes with their peers and even superiors.
6. Support them:
- Provide them with regular updates and anything they may need to be successful.
- Be available to help them as needed.
- Anticipate their needs whenever you can.
- And make them look good and their efforts appreciated!

Port Arthur hero, veterans to be honored at Lutcher Theater
A guardian angel as well as grit and determination must have been with Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams of Port Arthur on Oct. 28, 1944. During an operation to reopen the allied supply line to the isolated third battalion in Nazi-occupied France, Adams, a soldier in the 30th Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, defied the odds in the face of death near St. Die during a lone assault on German machine gunners.
According to the U.S. Army Third Infantry Division website, "Adams charged forward, dodging from tree to tree, firing a borrowed BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) from the hip. Despite intense machine gun fire the enemy directed at him and rifle grenades that struck the trees over his head, showering him with broken twigs and branches, Adams made his way to within 10 yards of the closest machine gun and killed the gunner with a hand grenade. An enemy soldier threw hand grenades at him from a position only 10 yards distant; however, Adams dispatched him with a single burst of BAR fire. Charging into the vortex of the enemy fire, he killed another machine gunner at a 15-yard range with a hand grenade and forced the surrender of two supporting infantrymen. Although the remainder of the German group concentrated the full force of its automatic weapons fire in a desperate effort to knock him out, he proceeded through the woods to find and exterminate five more of the enemy. Finally, when the third German machine gun opened up on him at a range of 20 yards, Adams killed the gunner with BAR fire. In the course of the action, he personally killed nine Germans, eliminated three enemy machineguns, vanquished a specialized force armed with automatic weapons and grenade launchers, cleared the woods of hostile elements, and reopened the severed supply lines to the assault companies of his battalion."
He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery April 22, 1945, in Nuremberg, Germany. Adams also received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart.
Adams, who died in 2003, will be recognized, along with First Lieutenant Douglas Fournet of Lake Charles, with a Lutcher Theater lobby display at the performance of "Beyond Glory," Stephen Lang's one-man show recounting the combat bravery of eight Medal of Honor recipients. The event will celebrate and honor all veterans and military personnel. A special ticket price of $35 will be offered to all veterans and their families for main floor seating. For every 20 tickets purchased by a group, the group will receive one complimentary ticket.
Immediately following the show, all veterans and their families are invited to the Lutcher Theater Third Floor Lobby for a special "Veterans Reunion Reception." Refreshments will be served while participants mingle and visit.

The Wanderer - St. Paul, MN
February, 1998
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. In an effort to reach the largest international audience and to take advantage of the latest Internet technologies, Priests for Life announced on Feb. 18th that 57 full length pro-life audios will be available free of charge to any visitor to the Priests for Life web site. Fr. Frank A. Pavone, an official of the Pontifical Council for the Family at the Vatican, is known for his powerful and motivating speeches that have impelled many listeners to renew and intensify their efforts to defend the sacredness of human life.
Continuing to invigorate the pro-life movement through a new delivery mechanism, these dynamic speeches and homilies are available in Real Audio format in the "Broadcasting" section of the Priests for Life web site at broadcasting.html
The Priests for Life organization wants to make pro-life talks instantly accessible in homes, parishes, schools, offices, clinics, and libraries throughout the world at any time. Communicating is more than just "content delivery" and requires the forcefulness and conviction of an inspired leader to touch listening hearts. It is the hope of Priests for Life that these online audios will have that impact by increasing awareness and energizing listeners to take a more active pro-life stance
Commenting on the use of Internet technology to promote the Gospel of Life, Fr. Pavone has noted: "Like so many things in our world, the Internet is it gift from God which can be used to accomplish great good, or it can be abused in the service of vice. But the abuse of something does not preclude its legitimate use. Failure to adequately use a new tool for evangelization leaves the field open for others to use it to bad purposes.
"I urge all Christians and people of goodwill to become more familiar with this vast new means of communication so values that are crucial to the Church can be promoted.... Above all, of course, is the communication of the Gospel. The Eternal Word needs to go everywhere that human words can go. Let us not be afraid or hesitant to do precisely that with the Internet!"
Joseph Korka-Waadah, executive director of the Life Protection League in Ghana. Africa, has said, "Those cassettes are of immeasurable value, they are assets. for you wouldn't believe the [number of] people who wept openly at our last talk with the guild of registered nurses when we played the one with the message, 'Where Is Your Brother?' You needed to have been there."
Fr. Pavone's talks are prerecorded in RealAudio format and available in two delivery mechanisms: streaming real-time audio heard immediately while transferring or as a downloadable audio clip that can be saved to the visitor's hard drive. The use of this technology enables Priests for Life web site visitors to hear and store clips of any length with near-CD-quality sound over a standard modem connection The latest version of the RealPlayer is available free for individual download at http://www.real.com/products/player/index.html and can be installed on all popular platforms and operating systems.
With over 4,500 visitors each day from 50 countries and over 500 pages of useful information, practical tools and tips, and spiritual reflections, the Priests for Life web site is a comprehensive resource for all people who want to stop the assault on human life. The site is updated every day from Rome. Many of the written materials are available also in Spanish, and translations are being prepared in other major languages.
Priests for Life can be contacted at 888-PFL-3448.

ALBANY — State Sen. John Bonacic says the governor's casino bill isn't transparent enough, unwisely locks out Queens and a referendum as proposed could fail in November.
ALBANY — State Sen. John Bonacic says the governor's casino bill isn't transparent enough, unwisely locks out Queens and a referendum as proposed could fail in November.
Bonacic, R-C-Mount Hope, who chairs the Senate's judiciary and wagering committees, raised several issues in a news release about Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed bill to allow up to three full-service casinos upstate, two video slot machine centers in western New York and place a moratorium on casinos in New York City.
Legislative leaders will try to reach a deal by June 20 that would set up a statewide referendum in November.
Bonacic recently proposed his own bill, which would give Sullivan County potentially two casinos and allow for one more in Ulster County, and four others in defined regions.
Bonacic said he wants the final bill to spell out the locations more clearly than Cuomo's proposal does.
"The Governor calls this an upstate economic development act," Bonacic said. "I do believe he wants jobs upstate. I am concerned, however, that his desired jobs will not materialize unless there is broader transparency and more specificity as to where all seven of the proposed casinos will go."
Bonacic specifically criticized Cuomo's proposal to lock out Genting's Resorts World Casino, which offers electronic slot machines at Aqueduct racetract in Queens, but leave the possibility open for a future casino on Long Island.
"I have seen no evidence that Long Islanders — who are a sizable portion of the State's population, want casino gaming on Long Island," Bonacic said. "Under my plan, casino revenue would be directed to revitalize Belmont, which I think Long Islanders would be more supportive of, rather than placing a new casino in an unnamed backyard in a Long Island community."
Bonacic noted that the governor announced in 2012 a major convention center at Aqueduct but was unable to come to terms with Genting. The senator said the bill appeared to be aimed negatively at Genting and the Seneca Nation, which is in arbitration with the state over alleged breaches of the Senecas' casino gambling compact.
"I can also appreciate the governor's desire to have some leverage over the Seneca, given that they are the only nation who has not resolved their differences with the state," Bonacic said. "For the referendum to pass though, we need as much transparency as possible in terms of site selection for gaming locations — we don't need to hold back four casinos as leverage, while only locating three now. Voters deserve to know where the casinos will go, and more importantly, where they will not be allowed, in order to vote in an educated way this November."

STOCKTON - Delta College got a first-half lift from Ryan Gaarder and never looked back.
STOCKTON - Delta College got a first-half lift from Ryan Gaarder and never looked back.
The sophomore shooting guard helped the Mustangs pull away from Merced in the first round of the 46th annual Delta Holiday Tournament. The Lodi High product scored 13 of his 20 points in a 2-minute, 46-second span in the first half and Delta cruised to a 72-47 victory on Friday at Joe Blanchard Gymnasium.
The Mustangs play Cuesta at 7 p.m. today in the semifinals. The Cougars beat Lassen on Friday, 97-71. City College of San Francisco, the state's top-ranked team, defeated Sierra, 88-73, and plays Butte at 5 p.m. today in the other semifinal. Butte beat Napa Valley, 58-55. Merced plays Lassen at 3 p.m., and Napa plays Sierra at 1.
Gaarder twice made fast-break layups and two 3-pointers, capping a 25-5 run that gave Delta a 34-16 lead with 7 minutes left in the first half.
"They were sagging off of me, so I shot it," Gaarder said. "Once my first one went in, I started feeling it and the whole offense got going."
Delta (6-4) missed four of its first five field-goal attempts and trailed 7-3. The Mustangs didn't take the lead until Richard Perry scored a layup on an in-bounds play with 13:04 left in the first half. The basket began Delta's run, and they would not trail again.
The Blue Devils (0-10) defended Gaarder better to start the second half, but they failed to make up ground thanks to Dan Schwarzberg. The sophomore guard made his first three 3-pointers and extended the Mustangs' lead to more than 20 points. Schwarzberg scored 12.
"When they started keying on me, Dan stepped up," Gaarder said. "That's how this team is. It's tough to key on one person."
Delta coach Rich Ressa was particularly pleased with center Mitch Postle, who had 12 rebounds and seven points.
"Mitch did a great job guarding their big guys," Ressa said. "I really like his effort going after the offensive boards."
Gurpreet Sangha led Merced with 13 points. After taking the early lead, the Blue Devils went on a 2 of 12 field-goal drought midway through the first half.
Ressa played 13 players and 10 of them scored. Ronald Lewis had nine points and Alex Simmons scored seven.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Unified School District hopes to settle 189 legal actions by late January in a case involving a former elementary teacher accused of lewd acts with students that were so shocking, they prompted the district to remove all employees at the school while it did a thorough investigation.
The number of claimants stemming from the case is unprecedented in the nation's second largest school district, where officials are accused of doing nothing to protect children from the Miramonte Elementary School teacher accused of feeding students semen-laced cookies in what he called "tasting games."
Former California Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso is overseeing the mediation process that involves 16 law firms representing 126 students and 63 parents and guardians, said the district's general counsel, David Holmquist.
Two lawyers representing 26 of the 189 students and parents announced Wednesday they were not participating in the mediation and were instead filing separate lawsuits. Lawyers Martha Escutia and John Manly filed four lawsuits this week, bringing the total number of suits against the district in the case to eight. They said they plan to file 22 more as soon as they can.
Holmquist said the district was taken aback by the lawyers' action but said he still anticipated they would participate in the settlement, which could come within weeks. March is the outside deadline for the settlement to be reached, he said.
The district is focused on reaching an agreement "that makes sense, protects the students and restores trust," Holmquist said.
Gregory McNair, chief business and compliance counsel, said the district doesn't want children traumatized by having them testify in court. "The litigation process can be a brutal process," he said.
Reynoso, currently a law professor emeritus at University of California, Davis, is being assisted in the case by two other retired judges. He is interviewing numerous families as part of the claim evaluation process, Holmquist said.
Settlement funds would be partially covered by an insurance policy and by the district's liability fund, Holmquist noted.
The litigation stems from the January arrest of former Miramonte teacher Mark Berndt, who has pleaded not guilty to 23 counts of lewdness for allegedly feeding students semen-laced cookies over five years.
After his arrest, investigators found several hundred photos of children participating in Berndt's "tasting games," which involved blindfolding children with cockroaches on their faces, biting into cookies laced with a milky-white substance and being spoon-fed a similar liquid. Investigators said the substance appeared to be Berndt's semen.
In an unprecedented move, the district removed all employees at the school while it investigated how Berndt's alleged actions went undetected for so long. The employees were allowed to return to the school, or others, this semester.
The district has assigned 16 psychiatric social workers to Miramonte and surrounding schools, where former students may be located, and has several support programs for parents, said Pia Escudero, director of school mental health and crisis counseling. Attendance at the school is 97 percent.
Lawyers Escutia and Manly said Wednesday they opted out of the mediation talks because the district had stonewalled them on handing over documents about other alleged cases of teacher sexual misconduct.
Holmquist and McNair denied that they held back any documents.

Changes to Fall Leaf Collection
No need to bag leaves any longer, the City of St. Johns has purchased a leaf vacuum truck system. This vacuum will pick up leaves more efficiently and quickly, while leaving behind less debris.
The schedule for picking up leaves is as follows:
North of M-21 (State Street) will be the first half of October and November
South of M-21 (State Street) will be the second half of October and November
Please rake leaves in a pile in the City right-of-way area in front your house, between the sidewalk and the curb. If there is no sidewalk in front of your property, please rake leaves 6 inches behind the curb but not further than 6 feet from the curb. DO NOT RAKE LEAVES IN THE STREET, as the leaves can be hazardous with traffic and also block storm sewers from draining properly. Anyone raking or otherwise placing leaves, trimmings, & similar type organic plant materials in the public street will be subject to a $50 civil infraction fine.
You may still use the compostable brown yard waste bags for leaves, garden vegetation (including pumpkins) & small sticks. These bags will be picked up by the curb during your normal scheduled leaf collection pick-up.
A final reminder, despite all advanced preparation, equipment can breakdown or weather events can slow or end the program early. Do not wait to rake. Early snowfall requires equipment and crews to be redirected to snow removal operations.
· The regular curbside brush pick up is suspended during leaf pick-up.
· Loose leaves & compostable brown yard waste bags can be taken to the Department of Public Works, 1000 N. US-127 BR. This site is open 24/7. Please use the Kuntz Drive entrance.
· If you are a senior or physically challenged and are unable to dispose of your leaves, contact City Offices at (989) 224-8944, ext. 282 or email firstname.lastname@example.com by November 1st so arrangements can be made.
The city does require city residents to use mint green city trash bags for trash disposal. The mint green bags can be purchased at several locations: Mint green trash bag purchase locations Trash pickup takes place on Wednesday's or Friday's, please see map for pickup schedule. Your mint green bags must be curbside by 7:00 AM on pickup day, do not place the mint green bags in your brown/yellow recycle cart, the cart is for loose recyclable items only.

Cheap Channel just fired all its DJs.

The head of the Border Patrol agents union says the agent killed last week in a shooting in southern Arizona apparently opened fire on two fellow agents thinking they were armed smugglers and was killed when they returned fire.
National Border Patrol Council president George McCubbin said Sunday that the two sets of agents approached an area where a sensor had been activated. He says they arrived from different directions early Tuesday when Agent Nicholas Ivie opened fire.
Acting Cochise County Sheriff Rod Rothrock confirmed the scenario but would not say if Ivie was the first to shoot.
The shooting happened a few miles north of the border with Mexico, in a well-known smuggling area.
The FBI announced Friday that the shooting appeared to be a case of friendly fire.

U.S. corn growers appear to be bucking the trend following this year's nearly 15-million-acre increase in plantings. USDA said producers are expected to harvest 13.3 billion bushels, 2 percent more than in its August crop forecast and 26 percent above 2006. The 13.3 billion bushels would be the largest crop on record.
Although yields often decline when farmers increase planted acres (and seed more marginal land), USDA said growers could harvest an average of 155.8 bushels per acre, up 3 bushels from August and 6.7 bushels above last year.
The Department also forecast in its Sept. 12 crop production report that U.S. cotton farmers will harvest 17.8 million bales, up 3 percent from the August report but down 17 percent from last year's 21.6 million bales.
Soybean production was projected to total 2.62 billion bushels, down 18 percent from last year's record high.
Abundant rainfall across the traditional Corn Belt appeared to be providing the impetus for higher corn yields. States such as Iowa, the nation's largest corn-producing state, were expected to increase yields by 14 to 16 bushels per acre above 2006.
"Yield forecasts in the southern Great Plains and the Delta are also higher than last month as early harvest results are better than anticipated," USDA said in the narrative accompanying the crop report.
Cotton producers could harvest an average of 811 pounds of lint per acre in 2007, up 28 pounds from what USDA was predicting in August, but down 3 pounds from the final 2006 yield average.
It said lower upland production forecasts in the Southeast and Delta states would be offset by a 15-percent increase in Texas production to 7 million 480-pound bales.
USDA said soybean yields were expected to be down 0.1 bushel from the August report and 1.3 bushels from last year after U.S. farmers reduced their plantings by 11.3 million acres.
"Compared with last month, yields are forecast lower across the central Corn Belt, the Tennessee Valley and the Southeast," USDA said. "Hot, dry conditions contributed to most of the decline, especially in Kentucky and Tennessee, down 8 and 9 bushels, respectively from last month.
"However, yields increased from the Aug. 1 forecast in the northern Great Plains and northwestern Corn Belt, as beneficial rains fell during the month of August."

Jeffrey's loose yet precise washes are incredible to me still... I'm in awe... So much detail described with such ease and economy...
Merci beaucoups for pulling out your screwdriver to post that fantastic "study" of Jeffrey's! Trust your eye to spot a wonderful work! How do you manage to cover so much territory? You can't spend your entire day reading blogs and magazines - I know you spend some of it painting. And of course there is the stalking and searching for les macs. And that swimming pool. Are you really a group of 3 people, one for the blogs and magazines, one for the painting and one for the macs??? If so, then who does the swimming?
Inquiring minds want to know.
aren't Jeffrey's paintings beautiful and so are Walter Gay's.
it's all about connections, connections
That is a HUGE compliment coming from you, Oh Mistress of Multi-Tasking. I'm chuffed :)
Carol, you really have made fall in love with watercolor since I started reading your blog. This just seals the deal! It is so interesting that one persons 'sketch' is another's 'work of art'. As always you are an inspiration.

What a wonderful painting of Givenchy's room. As ephemeral as fashion is, Hubert de Givenchy has fallen off the radar, but people forget how important he is and that the indelible images we have of women wearing his dresses are because of him.
This is wonderful material for a post and I am so happy to read the story. That image should definitely be in any future book on Givenchy. What a treasure. You are very lucky to have it, and I'm sure it is all the more precious since it took some persuasion to get it...not everything is for sale in life!
Thank you so much.
I was wondering if you would share what issue of Atmosphere it was that you found these artists with their wonderful interior watercolors in. I wanted to contact their US contact for the magazine to see if I might be able to secure a back issue and I thought it would help to know what issue you referred to in your blog. I enjoy your blog and although I don't get on the computer daily, I do feel that it is a treat to read and view your blog. Some day I will go to Paris-----------------
Thank you so very much,
The title of the article is:
Et la couleur prend des ailes!
But there is no date on the issue of Atmosphere..I was looking myself Sue :(
crazy no?
Looking at these glorious watercolors made me remember those little paint boxes I was given as a tot and how disappointing the colors were and how ugly whatever I tried to paint.
Oh dear.
WOW ... Carol, this was a great post ... I am so jealous that you own the sketch, how FAB!!! ... I loved every bit and wish I could find a book that had these watercolor picture inside. I do LOVE LOVE LOVE Mark Hampton's books of his watercolor interiors.ReplyDelete
I've seen both of those artists before, and I'm green with envy that you own one of those wonderful watercolors. One of my favorite subjects for artists to paint is interiors--these are all exquisite. Really fabulous, Carol!ReplyDelete
Oui, and just imagine all the people who stumble upon your work and are charmed and floored and need to look you up and make a purchase! It's cyclical! You are a star, too - just ask those fancy folks at you-know-where!!ReplyDelete
I look forward to seeing you in October !
All forms of exposure are positive!
My "fanclub" is pretty much limited to close family and friends- yet on the professional side, in professional circles, I do have somewhat of a reputation as a painter of trompe-l'oeil and other forms of mural decorative painting, as well as an 'illustrator' of room renderings, which I still do in watercolors for int. decorators, designers, and architects.

In recognition of The Fresh Air Fund's 137th summer of bringing together New York City children and volunteer host families in New York, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has recognized March 20 "Fresh Air Fund Day" throughout the state.
This summer, The Fresh Air Fund will once again allow thousands of inner-city boys and girls to escape the hot, noisy New York City streets to enjoy the simple joys of summertime fun in the country.
Families who participate in The Fresh Air Fund's Volunteer Host Family Program open their hearts and homes to New York City children for one or two weeks or more in the summer.
"Sharing your home and the surrounding community with a Fresh Air youngster can be the beginning of a worthwhile and meaningful experience - for both the child and your family," said Jenny Morgenthau, executive director of The Fresh Air Fund. "This year, we are looking for new host families in Western New York to celebrate our 137th summer and give children a chance to run barefoot through the grass or gaze at the star-filled skies."
Volunteers simply want to share what they have with city children and introduce them to the joys of suburban or country life.
"You don't have to spend a lot of money or do anything fancy. The children can just play in the backyard and enjoy just being kids," said Donna, a Fresh Air host.
Families find hosting so rewarding that more than 65 percent of all Fresh Air children are invited to visit the same host families year after year. First-time Fresh Air visitors are 6 to 12 years old. Fresh Air hosts range from young families to grandparents. All it takes is the willingness to welcome a New York City child to your community.
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit organization, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.7 million inner-city children since 1877. For more information about becoming a Fresh Air volunteer host, call Cheryl Flick at 1-716-634-7017 or The Fresh Air Fund at 1-800-367-0003. Visit The Fresh Air Fund online at www.freshair.org.

In 2013, the Open Society Foundations will conclude its East East Beyond Borders program. Open Society will continue to support collaboration among nongovernmental and civil society organizations in a range of ways. East East Beyond Borders is no longer considering project proposals for funding.
The program was originally created in 1991 for the Soros foundations in Central and Eastern Europe, and offered civil society actors opportunities for international cooperation in the context of post-socialist transition.
East East Beyond Borders expanded across the globe with resources available to nongovernmental and civil society organizations in Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
The program promoted and supported the movement of ideas by linking communities of practice and communities of influence to engage in practical collaborative actions. It supported initiatives within themes encompassing good governance and public policy, rights protection and social inclusion, and global perspectives and international dialogue.
The Open Society Foundations are honored to have supported the many grantees and partner organizations that worked with the East East Beyond Borders program. We salute their ongoing work to share experience, knowledge, expertise, and innovative ideas to strengthen and advance open societies around the world.

Honda is now a net exporter from the United States. It is the first Japanese automaker to make such a claim, and most of the vehicles being shipped outside the U.S. were built in Ohio.
Honda is now a net exporter from the United States.
It is the first Japanese automaker to make such a claim, and most of the vehicles being shipped outside the U.S. were built in Ohio.
The automaker exported 108,705 vehicles last year and imported 88,537.
Of the total exports, 69,680 were assembled in either Marysville or East Liberty, the company�s two Ohio production plants. The vehicles went to 40 countries.
The two plants also broke records for annual production in 2013, with 492,409 vehicles made at Marysville and 242,363 at East Liberty. Honda�s flagship sedan, the Accord, is assembled at Marysville, and its top crossover, the CR-V, is assembled at East Liberty.
�The achievement of this tremendous milestone is a result of the efforts of the tens of thousands of associates in America who develop and produce our vehicles and those who manage the export of these products to customers in global markets,� Tetsuo Iwamura, president and CEO of Honda North America, said in a statement.
The vehicles exported from Ohio also include the Acura TL and the Honda Crosstour.
As of last fall, Honda had about 13,700 employees in Ohio. In addition to the two assembly plants, it has an engine plant in Anna, a transmission plant in Russells Point and several other offices.
�Honda has very effectively designed and developed a portfolio of products that are in demand, not only in North America, but in a strong position to capitalize on demand around the world,� said Mike Jackson, director of North American vehicle-production forecasting for IHS Automotive.
Honda has been building toward this export mark for years and previously said it was likely to happen. The company was the first Japanese automaker to open a plant in the United States when it began making the Accord in Marysville in 1982.
�They are the most Americanized of all of the Japanese companies in terms of their global footprint,� said James Rubenstein, a Miami University professor who writes about the auto industry. �This (export milestone) is a logical next step for them.�
The top export destination is Mexico, followed by Saudi Arabia and Russia.
The exports to Europe and the Middle East show Honda�s strong presence in the United States, but also its lack of production capacity closer to those markets, Rubenstein said.
The two other largest Japanese automakers, Toyota and Nissan, are expanding in the United States but rely much more heavily on imports. Nissan imported 338,000 vehicles into the U.S. last year, more than three times the 100,608 U.S.-made vehicles that it exported. Toyota imported 617,283 vehicles and exported 124,000.
Rick Schostek, senior vice president of Honda North America, said the expansion of free-trade rules has helped the company to grow in the United States.
Honda supports an additional expansion of free trade through several proposed accords, including the addition of Japan to the Trans Pacific Partnership, a plan that has come under fire from the United Auto Workers union.
Although the export milestone will get people�s attention, the related story is how Honda is building almost all of its vehicles for North American customers at plants on the continent, including a new plant in Mexico that soon will start making the Fit subcompact.
The company has the capacity to build 1.72 million cars per year at the North American plants (1.31 million in the U.S.), which is a large share of its worldwide capacity of about 4 million.

Broncos president Joe Ellis accompanied owner Pat Bowlen to Washington D.C. on Thursday to join in on the labor negotiations between league owners and the players union. Bowlen is co-chairman of the owners' labor committee. Talks broke off Friday afternoon with the Players Association deciding to decertify its union, a tactical move that moves the labor dispute to the court system.
"Pat Bowlen is extremely disappointed that a new Collective Bargaining Agreement has yet to be reached," Ellis said in a statement. ""He shares our fans' frustrations, disappointment and sense of urgency for a quick resolution.
"This is part of the process and not the end of the process. The owners are looking forward to getting back to the negotiating table and working toward a new deal that benefits our teams, players and fans. Everyone is committed to growing the game that we love.
"The Broncos are continuing with preparations for the NFL Draft and the 2011 season. We're all hopeful that a deal is reached as soon as possible."

Hello Ladies!
I need a few tips in dealing with a post-ceserian hospital policy. The hospital I will be delivering at has a MANDATORY 4 HOUR mommy/baby seperation after cesarian. While I completely disagree with the policy and think its completely unfounded if mom & baby are healthy and recovered well, I understand that I wont be able to change the policy. With my last daughter (whom I also delivered via cesarian at the same hospital) they gave her a bottle during those 4 hrs in the nursery, EVEN AFTER I made it clear I was planning on BF. After endless attempts getting her to latch and a few months of pumping, I resorted to formula feeding her. Needless to say, I am hesitant this will repeat itself. Any pointers or tips on what I can do to make this time a success? Has anyone else had to deal with a mandatory separation after cesarian? thanks for all your help!

paper sculpture with box and tag
As a child of immigrants, assimilating and culture shock come naturally as breathing. Accepting and having the American taste for fast food came as a hallmark of socio-economic assimilation, a badge of honor. An example of this "badge of honor" can be found in the "Happymeal" marketed to children by offering toys and junk food.

Market demand for the orange-headed thrush Zoothera citrina, a prestigious songbird competition species in Indonesia, is supplied by chicks harvested from Bali Island. Using ethnographic and interview surveys conducted during the 2008–2009 breeding season we established the structure and scale of this trade and investigated means to improve its sustainability in two districts of Bali. We found that well-organized agent networks supplied an estimated 116,000 chicks worth EUR 3.175 million from Bali during the 6-month harvest season. Chicks are harvested when 4–16 days old and exported from Bali when 16–18 days old. Of 50 nests followed 60% were harvested and just 6% fledged young. Farmers deploy techniques to improve thrush food supply but lack practices to ensure continued recruitment to the thrush population. The practice of thrush harvesting started in the mid 1990s and is not yet regulated by the traditional institutions (Subak) that govern collective farming practices. Three networks determine the sustainability of the practice: (1) the fraternity of Indonesian songbird keepers, (2) agricultural agent networks, and (3) traditional village institutions. We identify the potential for coordinated forms of self-regulation and thrush population management by Subak and key groups involved in songbird contests. Furthermore, we argue that this would more likely enhance sustainability than interventions by government conservation agencies.

In 1958 Clark C. McClelland was assigned to the national space program at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and helped launch or viewed 673 rockets and spacecraft. In addition to being an Aerospace Engineer and Technical Assistant to the Apollo Program Manager during the Apollo moon landings, McClelland and other SpaceCraft Operators did extensive technical checkout of simulated flights and mission objectives of the various shuttles to assure orbital success and the personal safety of the astronauts.
Clark has held important positions involving such manned projects as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo lunar landings, Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the Space Station. He was assigned to the cockpit of the Space Shuttle missions as a SpaceCraft Operator (Ground Test Astronaut). McClelland's name is on three commemorative monuments of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions – His name will also be on the Space Shuttle, International Space Station and the Deep Space Missions monuments in the future.

"Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus!"
By Clark C. McClelland
"Shortly after the launch of STS-44, I observed an advanced low flyer (or spacecraft) as it paced the DoD Space Shuttle mission, that was at very high altitude prior to entering on orbit far North of the Kennedy Space Center. The estimated altitude was approximately Angel 10 to Angel 12 or 100,000 to 120,000 feet or higher. Angel 10, etc., is USAF terminology used for altitude. I was later told it was a version of what has been designated by the USAF/NASA/Industry black budget team as the X-33 (Venture Star), an RSV (Reusable Space Vehicle). Although smaller, it is a first step as a replacement for the space shuttle and it was reported during that time period as under development. The RSV was observing the Atlantis DoD mission at a safe distance prior to the space shuttle climbing on orbit. Did the X-33 also enter on orbit? I was not able to determine that at the time, but later realized that it had also entered on orbit."

"Is there a cosmic bloodline of the Star Gods on Earth?"
By Clark C. McClelland
"Blood factors are exact. Modern man and the Rhesus monkey do appear to have had a past, ancient, common ancestor without a doubt. Importantly, this does not include people with the Rh negative blood factor. However, all other earthly primates (Apes, Gorillas, etc.) also have this Rh blood factor, but not the Rhesus monkey! Why? If we all evolved from the same Cosmic, Godly source, all the human racial groups would have a logical, compatible blood. The fact is, blood is not compatible. Do these differences indicate any proof, that some of our descendants were of the ancient astronaut variety? You can bet on it!"

By Clark C. McClelland
"He then disclosed something that I was not aware of at that time and would only learn
of years later. It would later become a major event in UFO history called The Roswell Incident. Now that I think of this disclosure, I could have perhaps actually been the first to release it for public scrutiny, but I kept my promise to Jim and to hold my knowledge on the subject. I actu- ally did not even release it to Don Keyhoe and NICAP. I guess my cautious approach concerning certain UFO reports had me guessing if it had a true basis of fact. Or was it something our mili- tary had developed? I was over cautious I guess, but better that than to be sorry for any mistakes later, I remained quiet until now."

"McClelland Influences the Creation of the Extraterrestrial Exposure Law by the United States Government"
By Clark C. McClelland
"He asked McClelland what did he see or recognize on the photo. Upon hearing him ask this question, McClelland thought for a minute, and then he said that the many streaks that were evi- dent did not appear to be the ablative shielding of the Jupiter nosecone. They were separate from the rocket and not associated with it. He smiled and agreed. He then pointed at those objects and said, "Those many reentry trails are alien objects and are that of another unknown intelligence, Clark C. McClelland Influences the Creation of the Extraterrestrial Exposure Law and in fact they were evidence of "VISITORS" that had accompanied our Jupiter nosecone through the friction and heat of the atmosphere, a star race not of earth!"

By Clark C. McClelland
"A big question now arises, where is the preliminary proposal of the US Navy project that was supposedly mailed to Dr. J. Manson Valentine by Dr. Morris K. Jessup during his travels to Florida in 1959? Is it possible that this important evidence is still unclaimed or undiscovered among the thousands of documents left after the death of both Dr. Valentine and his wife Anne? Has it been discovered and perhaps not recognized for the importance it has regarding this great mystery of the Philadelphia Experiment?"

"When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives."
"Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything – you can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him."

An old woman has been forced to live next to her son's grave for the last nine months after she was unable to bury him due to an accrued hospital bill.
Veronica Nduku Ngwambu was unable to clear the medical bill for her deceased son and has resorted to camping next to her son's empty grave after Kenyatta National Hospital detained the body.
Every time Nduku wakes up in the morning at Makutano Ma Ndalani in Machakos county, she prays each passing ray would come with hope of burying her son.

But that is not the case for the 80-year-old whose morning is met by a mound of soil around a weather-beaten empty grave indicating many months of anguish and torment of wanting to give her son a decent send off.

Nduku's son passed on in October 2017 at KNH and a grave was prepared for the burial that never was.
By the time of his death, the hospital bill stood at KSh 54,000, TUKO.co.ke learnt.
But there are indications the Kenyan online community is willing to put a smile on the octogenarian's face by offsetting the bills, which has reportedly accrued significantly since 2017.

It's how life should be. Much of Inyo County's human history is linked to Independence, the county seat since 1866.

Independence has been Inyo County's seat since the county's formation in 1866. The courthouse is the fourth in Inyo's history. The first collapsed in the 1872 earthquake, the second burned in 1892, the third was determined to be too small and was replaced in 1922 by the stately building we have today. The original town site was laid out by Thomas Edwards.
In contrast to the other towns in the Owens Valley, Highway 395 is not Main Street but Edwards Street. The Edwards House on West Market Street was built around the 1860s. The adobe portion is the oldest structure still standing in Inyo County. The Eastern California Museum, three blocks west of the courthouse, houses much of the region's history. The museum displays a large collection of artifacts, historic photographs, quality Native American basketry, extensive mining and farming equipment, the history of Los Angeles in the Owens Valley, a Manzanar artifact and photographic collection, a local history research library, the Mary DeDecker native plant garden, and a bookstore.
The "Commander's" House built between 1866 and 1869 was moved to its present location from Fort Independence. It is one of the last remaining examples of rural Victorian architecture in the Owens Valley. Dehy Park at the north end of town is a popular gathering place for summer community events. Independence Creek flows through and provides a cool place to relax. Children of all ages love the creek and play areas.
Visitors will also enjoy seeing The Slim Princess Engine No. 18. This narrow gauge locomotive ran on the Carson Colorado line from Laws to Keeler until 1954. Mary Austin lived in Independence for several years in a home on West Market Street and completed her book, Land of Little Rain, in this house in 1903. A historical marker in front of the private residence (not open to the public) describes her ties to the valley and town.
The Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery, a little over 3 miles northwest of Independence, is a wonderful place to visit. It is the favored site for high school graduation, summer weddings, and family picnics. Built in 1916 on land donated by the citizens of Independence, it was the second state hatchery built in California. For many years it has supplied trout eggs to other hatcheries in California and other western states. It is the only hatchery to produce golden trout, California's state fish.
Classical entropy quantities are a way to quantify how much information is revealed in a random event. Shannon first introduced a way to quantify information by associating to an event occuring with probability p, an amount of information -\log p (as is standard in information theory, logarithms are taken in base 2 and so information is measured in bits). If an unlikely event occurs, one gains a large amount of information. The Shannon entropy is the average amount of information gained by observing the outcome of an event. In some cases, in particular ones relevant to cryptography, the average amount of information is not a good quantity, since it assumes many independent repetitions of the same experiment.
When we discuss random events, we assume that they occur according to a pre-defined ensemble of possible outcomes of that event, and associated probabilities. Event X is a single instance drawn from the ensemble \{0,1,\ldots,|X|\} with probabilities \{p_0,p_1,\ldots,p_{|X|}\}. We call this probability distribution P_X. The terminology X=x refers to a single instance drawn from this distribution taking the value x. One similarly defines distributions over more than one random variable. For instance, P_{XY} is the joint distribution of X and Y, and P_{X|Y=y} is the distribution of X conditioned on the fact that Y takes the value Y=y.
It was Shannon who pioneered the mathematical formulation of information. In essence his insight was that an event that occurs with probability p could be associated with an amount of information -\log p. Consider many independent repetitions of random event X. The average information revealed by each instance of X is given by the Shannon entropy of X defined as follows.
The Shannon entropy associated with an event x drawn from random distribution X isShannon entropy
H(X)\equiv\sum_{x\in X}-P_X(x)\log P_X(x).

HOUSTON - A homeowner was shot during a home invasion in northwest Harris County Friday.
Deputies said two men kicked in the front door of a house in the 1300 block of Yucca Mountain at 8 a.m. and confronted Dolan Williams, the homeowner. The robbers fired at least 10 shots at Williams, hitting him in the leg, according to authorities.
The crooks then ran out of the house without taking anything.
Williams was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Officials said he suffered one gunshot wound to his leg
Officials said Williams' wife and 8-month-old baby left the house shortly before the crime occurred.
Detectives said they think the attackers thought the home was empty.
A neighbor said she spotted two strange cars near the house shortly before the home invasion.
"I noticed that there were two vehicles parked in front of my neighbor's house," neighbor Nikita Williams said. "I saw a guy moving inside the Nissan Pathfinder. There was another one across the street."
The family has only lived in the home for about a month.
"I never thought something like that would happen," said James Broussard, Dolan Williams' stepfather.
A neighboring house has surveillance cameras, so deputies hope they may have video of the attackers.

States Distancing Themselves From The Federal Government
States Distancing Themselves From The Federal Government
Over 40 States Declare State Sovereignty
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
NINTH AMENDMENT to the US Constitution: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
TENTH AMENDMENT to the US Constitution: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
As I have observed over the past few months the "State Sovereignty Movement" continues to sweep the nation with well over three-quarters of the fifty states taking action, through their respective state legislatures, re-establishing their "sovereignty".
It is being reported that there are over 40 states with state sovereignty declarations as of this writing. If true, that is heartening. There is no doubt the states have been relegated to second-class citizenship in the US. That is just WRONG and must be corrected!
We found reports on the Internet stating that THERE ARE 12 NEW STATE SOVEREIGNTY DECLARATIONS IN PROGRESS, RIGHT NOW!! THEY INCLUDE ALABAMA. NEBRASKA, Rhode Island, WYOMING, WASHINGTON, INDIANA, KENTUCKY, GEORGIA, KANSAS, MISSOURI, MISSISSIPPI, AND MARYLAND!
WYOMING is the newest constitutionally sovereign state. The bill was signed into law on March 8th, 2010. Utah did the same on the 25th of February 2010. The debate continues in my home state of South Carolina, but my guess is it will pass the state legislature and be signed into law by the "Sandlappers" very soon now.
Here in North Carolina, House Bill H849 "supporting the state's right to claim sovereignty over certain powers under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States" has been filed.
Here's the full text:
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states, respectively, or to the people;" and
Whereas, the Tenth Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and
Whereas, the scope of power defined by the Tenth Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and
Whereas, today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and
Whereas, many federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and
Whereas, Section 4 of Article IV of the Constitution of the United States says, "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government," and the Ninth Amendment states that "The enumeration in the constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;" and
Whereas, the United States Supreme Court ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992), that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and
Whereas, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States; Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
SECTION 1. The North Carolina House of Representatives supports the State's right to claim sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government or reserved to the people by the Constitution of the United States.
SECTION 2. The North Carolina House of Representatives urges the federal government, as the agent of the State, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of any constitutionally delegated powers.
SECTION 3. The North Carolina House of Representatives further urges that compulsory federal legislation which directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.
SECTION 4. The Principal Clerk shall transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and each member of the North Carolina Congressional Delegation.
SECTION 5. This resolution is effective upon adoption.

I took a look in my crystal ball and, for the life of me; I could see no indication of the effect the sovereignty movement will have on future relations between the states and their "agent"… the federal government. Only time will tell.
However, I must tell you, it does this old southern boy's heart good to see "State's Rights" again brought to the fore in the United States.
James Madison, The Founder we refer to as "The Father of the Constitution," wrote the following: "To preserve the Republic, it is in the hands of the people. We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments"
As with all Americans we "Southerners" get a lot of things wrong. But we have been right on the issue of "State's Rights" all along. See, southerners had a bit more than just a signature invested in the creation of the Constitution, itself. There was never any doubt, in our minds, about who "the greater" and who "the lesser" was/is in this association of states and federal government. I must tell you, I am more than a little pleased to find the names of several northern and western states, and even northeastern states, included in the list of the names of the states involved in the State Sovereignty Movement.
Washington would do well to take notice, serious notice, of this movement. The Congress and the President may have forgotten, but it is "the boss" filing this complaint. It is very easy to sit in Washington and spend North Carolina's money, or the money of the folks from Texas or Oklahoma. But, believe me when I tell you that we have been paying attention and we do not like having our state's treasuries looted by a heavy-handed federal government.
The current Congress would also do well to read up on the "Ordinance of Nullification" passed by my home state of South Carolina in 1828. You can read it for yourself HERE. Suffice it to say State Sovereignty is NOT a NEW issue in this country. It appears we will have to visit it — yet again.

I wish I could name the trailer for Ridley Scott's Prometheus as the Video Of The Week, because holy shit that movie looks amazing. I just wish somebody could beam it directly into my brain this second; I'm not emotionally equipped to wait until June to see it. But there's pretty much no way I can call that thing a music video, as much as I might like to. And as it turns out, we got some pretty great music videos this week, five of which are below. Oh, and we're counting down to the best one from here on out, because that's how countdowns work.
5. James Blake – "A Case Of You" (Dir. Seb Edwards)
In The Town (spoiler alert), Rebecca Hall made it seem vaguely plausible that a very pretty young woman could fall in love with a monosyllabic grunting tough guy who looks like Ben Affleck, and that she'd remain in love with him even after learning that he'd held her hostage in a bank heist. She's a good actress! Here, she gets a chance to emote wonderfully, and we don't get the privilege of learning what she's emoting about. But it still works, simply because she's so good at it.
4. Arcade Fire – "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" (Dir. Vincent Morisset)
It doesn't have the emotional punch of the other videos from The Suburbs, and I couldn't get the interactive hand-waving video thing to work, but it's still fun to watch Regine Chassagne flit about adorably while various bemasked suburban-archetype types wander through their modern-dance choreography. That scene in the abandoned mall where the camera earthquakes around Chassagne will not leave my head anytime soon.
3. LCD Soundsystem – "Live Alone" (Dir. Lustix)
Hey, remember when LCD Soundsystem was a thing that still existed? That was cool. I enjoyed that. One of the last things the band gave us before blinking out of existence was its ripplestomp cover of Franz Ferdinand's "Live Alone," and that track makes a gorgeous accompaniment to this evocative footage of New York, the sort of thing that reminds you what an amazing place that city can be. When you mostly think of it as a place of apartment mouse infestations and skeezy landlords and transportation-system snafus and close-up views of people way, way richer than you, that can be the sort of reminder you need. Also, those images of the installation-art robot (or whatever that is) are pretty cool.
2. Javelin – Canyon Candy Short Film (Dir. Mike Anderson)
This is admittedly stretching the definition of "music video" a bit, since Javelin's music is there to complement the visuals, rather than the usual vice-versa. Still, this is an achievement with an extremely high degree of difficulty. What Anderson attempted here was what might've happened if Alejandro Jodorowsky had cast Roy Rogers in a silent film, and this is not the sort of thing I would ordinarily spend 17 minutes sitting through. But the acting here is great, the visuals are utterly striking, and Javelin's score stretches their sound in some interesting directions. A bizarrely absorbing thing.
1. Drake – "The Motto" (Feat. Lil Wayne & Tyga) (Dir. Lamar Taylor & Hyghly Alleyne)
I probably should've given Javelin the #1 spot, since it's so unlike anything I've seen before. But I didn't feel the need to immediately rewatch that one, and I clicked on this thing like three times in 15 minutes. I loved Take Care, but the one thing missing from the album was the sort of snarly badass hauteur I've come to expect from the rap records I love. "The Motto" fixes all that, and now it has a ridiculously stylish and well-executed video behind it. Drake wears ridiculous clothes and makes it look cool, Tyga continues his progression toward being a pretty good rapper, and Lil Wayne gives a performance that absolutely drips with bonkers goofy-ass charisma. One of the most ridiculously fun rap videos of the year. My one tiny quibble: If you're going to overhaul your song for the video, and you're going to give E-40 an extended cameo in said video, why not give E-40 a verse? He would've torn this thing apart.

Inge Lehmann: Discoverer of the Earth's Inner Core
How can we find out what's happening deep inside the Earth? The temperatures are too hot, pressures too extreme, and distances too vast to be explored by conventional probes. So scientists rely on seismic waves—shock waves generated by earthquakes and explosions that travel through Earth and across its surface—to reveal the structure of the interior of the planet. Thousands of earthquakes occur every year, and each one provides a fleeting glimpse of the Earth's interior. Seismic signals consist of several kinds of waves. Those important for understanding the Earth's interior are P-waves, (primary, or compressional waves), and S-waves (secondary, or shear waves), which travel through solid and liquid material in different ways.
The seismograph, which detects and records the movement of seismic waves, was invented in 1880. By the end of that decade seismic stations were in place all over the world. At the time, geophysicists believed Earth to be made up of a liquid core surrounded by a solid mantle, itself surrounded by a crust, all separated by abrupt density changes in the Earth called "discontinuities."
In 1929 a large earthquake occurred near New Zealand. Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann "the only Danish seismologist," as she once referred to herself—studied the shock waves and was puzzled by what she saw. A few P-waves, which should have been deflected by the core, were in fact recorded at seismic stations. Lehmann theorized that these waves had traveled some distance into the core and then bounced off some kind of boundary. Her interpretation of this data was the foundation of a 1936 paper in which she theorized that Earth's center consisted of two parts: a solid inner core surrounded by a liquid outer core, separated by what has come to be called the Lehmann Discontinuity. Lehmann's hypothesis was confirmed in 1970 when more sensitive seismographs detected waves deflecting off this solid core.
Born in Denmark in 1888, Lehmann was a pioneer among women and scientists. Her early education was at a progressive school where boys and girls were treated exactly alike. This was a sharp contrast to the mathematical and scientific community she later encountered, about which she once protested to her nephew, Niles Groes, "You should know how many incompetent men I had to compete with—in vain." Groes recalls, "I remember Inge one Sunday in her beloved garden…with a big table filled with cardboard oatmeal boxes. In the boxes were cardboard cards with information on earthquakes…all over the world. This was before computer processing was available, but the system was the same. With her cardboard cards and her oatmeal boxes, Inge registered the velocity of propagation of the earthquakes to all parts of the globe. By means of this information, she deduced new theories of the inner parts of the Earth."
A critical and independent thinker, Lehmann subsequently established herself as an authority on the structure of the upper mantle. She conducted extensive research in other countries, benefiting from an increased global interest in seismology for the surveillance of clandestine nuclear explosions. When Lehmann received the William Bowie medal in 1971, the highest honor of the American Geophysical Union, she was described as "the master of a black art for which no amount of computerizing is likely to be a complete substitute." Lehmann lived to be 105.

Love the Look: J.W Anderson S/S 2009 Look-book
J.W Anderson is a fringe designer who is fast-becoming one of the edgiest and coolest designers on the menswear scene. His Spring/Summer 2009 look-book is styled around themes of religion and from the title, 'An Eye for an Eye,' to the rosary beads and ornate headdresses, his theme is strong and bold.

Hi, One of my Cavi's has a Curly/ Fluffy Coat. The fur sticks up on her back from her head to tail. She does get her fur trimmed in summer as it can get quite hot. I don't think its because of it though as it sticks up even when its grown back. My Over Cavi's fur is straight and lays flat on his back no matter what length the coat is.
