CHICAGO–One way to measure the chasm that Congress must bridge to complete comprehensive immigration reform after years of stalemate is to consider the cultural, economic, and demographic distance between two restaurants.
One of them is El Faro, a popular Mexican place in the Little Village neighborhood on Chicago's West Side. On an unseasonably warm Sunday afternoon late this winter, El Faro was buzzing, families filling every seat in the sun-splashed dining room. Three generations of the same family congregated at many of the tables, with children abounding. The restaurant ran through high chairs almost as fast as tortilla chips and marinated jalapenos. Waitresses carrying bistec a la Mexicana and costillitas en salsa verde squeezed through the happy tumult like surfers calmly riding a wave. Almost everyone in the room was Hispanic.
Sitting toward the back of the dining room was Luis Gutierrez, the area's Democratic representative in the U.S. House. A former Chicago alderman, Gutierrez has been one of the most forceful voices on immigration since arriving in Congress in 1993. Fiery in front of a microphone, Gutierrez in person is slight and soft-spoken. But a visiting movie star would not have attracted more attention this day: A continuous procession of men and women, usually with children in tow, drifted to his table. Almost as soon as each visitor finished, another hesitantly approached.
"Everything [in Little Village] is a connection between those who are here and those who are in Mexico."—Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill.
Some came to have their photo taken with him or ask for an autograph. Others said they just wanted to thank Gutierrez for his work on the immigration issue (which has included stiff criticism of President Obama's increase in deportations). But most came looking for help with immigration problems for themselves or relatives. The range of these problems was kaleidoscopic. Elizabeth Chavez, the president of a local travel agency, was worried about a close relative, who was operating a small grocery store but still could not buy a house for her family because she was in the U.S. illegally. "She is giving jobs to people because she has the grocery store," Chavez said. "And she wants to purchase a house, but she says, 'If I have to leave the country what will I do?' " Another woman, with her husband and two young children, all three of them American citizens, came to the table in tears because her own application for citizenship had hit a snag. In these conversations, the anticipation that Washington may soon provide a path to legal status for the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally throbbed with almost physical force. "When that man says to me, 'Thanks for supporting us,' he's not talking about health care," Gutierrez said after one visitor left. "He's talking about what they view as a civil-rights, and human-rights, struggle."
A few weeks later, on a brisk spring morning, the regular breakfast crowd filed into another restaurant—Tommy's Country Ham House in Greenville, S.C. The spot is a routine stop for Republican presidential candidates visiting this staunchly conservative region, and the television mounted in the corner was tuned, inevitably, to Fox News. Here the tables were also mostly filled with groups: friends swapping old stories over fresh coffee in a regular morning get-together; salesmen plotting their day's targets; what looked like the entire football offensive line from nearby Furman University; a few families. The waitresses deftly balancing plates of eggs and chicken sausage and salty slabs of country ham seemed to know everyone by name. Apart from a few African-Americans, the crowd was preponderantly white.
Immigration reform probably has a better chance of passing Congress this year than at any point since President Reagan signed sweeping legislation that legalized millions of undocumented immigrants in 1986. The sense of momentum intensified earlier this week when a bipartisan group of senators led by Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla., introduced their long-awaited bipartisan plan. But immigration legislation still faces a difficult passage through the House, and one reason is encapsulated by the gap between the crowds at El Faro and Tommy's: There is an enormous racial gulf in the districts represented by House Democrats and Republicans. While most Republicans represent districts dominated by whites, most Democrats hold districts in which minorities are more common than nationally.
That contrast creates very different political incentives as House members in each party grapple with these issues. In districts like Gutierrez's, immigration reform is a matter of pressing personal experience that shapes every aspect of daily life. But it is much more of an abstract question of values and principles in preponderantly white districts. In Greenville and Spartanburg, which are represented by two-term Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, it is common to find opposition to any amnesty or path to citizenship expressed around the simple conviction that it is wrong to reward people who have broken the law.
And yet, even at Tommy's, opinions about immigration were not always as predictable as the surroundings might imply—partly because many whites here view the area's growing Hispanic community as hardworking, family-oriented, and religiously devout. "You've got to be realistic about the whole thing," said Sam Weaver, who owns a groundwater-cleanup business. "They are here. And most of them work very hard."
In some places, the growth of new Hispanic communities has triggered a political backlash—a dynamic that Hispanic leaders say existed in Greenville itself not long ago. But Weaver's comments capture a shifting mix of economic, social, and political factors that has created an opening for immigration reform even in this deeply conservative area. In Greenville, the most important sound on immigration is the dog that isn't barking. More grassroots opposition may emerge once Congress begins debating an actual bill, but for now there's no sign of an uprising against the possibility of legal status and citizenship for those here illegally, even though Gowdy chairs the House Judiciary Immigration Policy and Enforcement Subcommittee, where any legislation will start. "You may run into somebody who talks about mass deportation, but it is episodic at best," Gowdy said. Rising anticipation in districts like Gutierrez's, and diminishing resistance in those like Gowdy's, could be the formula that breaks Washington's entrenched stalemate over immigration reform.
Especially after this week's release of the bipartisan "Gang of Eight" plan, the general assumption among immigration-reform advocates is that the Senate, by sometime this summer, will pass legislation that includes a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants. Reform's fate then would turn on whether advocates can push any plan up the steep hill of the Republican-controlled House—which they could not do in 2006 after the Senate passed an earlier bipartisan bill with a path to citizenship.
One reason immigration legislation faces such an uncertain future in the House is that few Republicans represent districts with large populations of Hispanics—or minorities of any sort. As National Journal calculated earlier this year, four-fifths of House Republicans represent districts in which whites exceed their two-thirds national share of the voting-age population. That leaves them with less direct political incentive to reach an agreement. Already in conversations with colleagues, Gowdy has detected that some from districts with little diversity appear "more hesitant initially" about any reform. By contrast, as National Journal calculated, almost two-thirds of House Democrats represent districts in which minorities exceed their national share of the voting-age population.
These contrasts are especially stark on the House Judiciary Committee, which looms as a critical isthmus for immigration legislation. Whites, on average, make up more than three-fourths of the voting-age population in the districts of Republicans on the panel. In the districts represented by Democrats, minorities constitute almost two-thirds of the voting-age population, nearly double their national share. The Democratic roster on the committee includes several of the party's most prominent African-American members, as well as Gutierrez, Joe Garcia of Florida, and Asian-American Judy Chu of California.
This gulf testifies to the extent that House Republicans have fortified themselves into districts buffered from the trends that saw Hispanics provide at least 40 percent of the population growth in half the states from 2000 to 2010. Yet the dispersal of the Hispanic population has reached a point that House Republicans are not entirely immune to it. Hispanics, according to the latest census figures, represent at least 10 percent or more of the total population in the districts of nine Judiciary Committee Republicans. In Gowdy's district, they make up 7.4 percent of the population.
Even that thin wedge, though, may be tilting the political dynamics there in a way that captures subtle shifts in other GOP-leaning terrain. On most questions, Upstate South Carolina is a deeply conservative place. Bob Jones University, the fundamentalist institution that dropped its ban on interracial dating only in 2000, is a pillar of the region. Mitt Romney won more than three-fifths of the vote against Obama in Gowdy's 4th Congressional District. Gowdy won his seat with a tea-party-backed 2010 primary insurgency against Republican Rep. Bob Inglis, whom he denounced as insufficiently conservative. Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor and Spartanburg County district attorney, then cruised to victory in the general election and easily won a second term last fall.
But while Upstate South Carolina is staunchly conservative, it is also unusually internationalized. Faced with the systemic decline of its historic textile industry, the region in the 1980s attracted huge investments along the I-85 corridor from Michelin and BMW, which builds its zippy Z-5 convertible in a cutting-edge plant outside Spartanburg. Those decisions triggered a cascade of foreign investments that have transformed and revitalized the area's economy. Today, according to the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, the 10-county Upstate region houses 240 foreign firms from 24 countries, including Mitsubishi, Samsung, and GlaxoSmithKline. "This area is a thoroughly globalized, export-driven economy," said lawyer Knox White, Greenville's mayor since 1995.
This transformation is imprinted on Greenville itself, whose downtown now boasts bike paths, a nifty minor-league baseball stadium, and the universal markers of a young, well-educated population: coffee bars, jazz clubs, and critically acclaimed restaurants with retro cocktails and complex locally sourced cuisine. For a few blocks, it's like a mini-Brooklyn, with grits. "When you walk around here, you hear a lot of foreign languages on Main Street," said White, whose legal practice centers on helping multinational employers obtain visas for their employees.
Except for some workers recruited by Colombian textile companies, Hispanics have not participated heavily in this internationally driven growth. But they benefited from it indirectly. As the regional economy revived, large numbers of Hispanics, many of them arriving illegally, poured into jobs in construction, landscaping, and gardening, joining those who already had migrated to the area for agricultural jobs. "Everybody knew it, everybody winked at it," White said. "For 10 years, nobody asked where your card was." The combined effects of the housing-market collapse and state legislation toughening enforcement against illegal immigrants abruptly slowed the growth in 2008. Even so, from 2000 to 2010, the Hispanic population more than doubled in both Greenville and Spartanburg counties, and it now exceeds a combined 53,000, according to the 2010 census.
Wilfredo Leon has watched this growth burgeon around him since he arrived in Greenville in 1985. An engineer from Puerto Rico, he came initially to work for a computer-equipment company. At that point, he said, the Hispanic community was so small "that all of us could go to the same Mass" at church. After retiring in the mid-1990s, Leon became active in a local advocacy group now known as the Hispanic Alliance and then started a newspaper called Latino, which he still distributes himself every week, driving across the state.
In Upstate South Carolina, the Hispanic population has concentrated in the Berea area just outside of Greenville. In neighborhoods where white blue-collar mill workers once lived, entire shopping centers are devoted to stores with Spanish names. In the White Horse Plaza, the La Unica Super Center testifies to the community's growth: It's a supermarket the size of a football field, with 21 spotless aisles, its own carniceria and tortilleria, glistening piles of jalapeno rojo and chile serrano peppers, and groaning 20 pound bags of Goya rice.
Leon says that Greenville-area Hispanics faced a backlash in 2008 when South Carolina joined a wave of other Republican-led states approving legislation cracking down on illegal immigrants. But now, "the mood has changed," Leon said. "We went through a political storm … and it was like, 'You are here too much; we don't want you here.' But now that's swinging back." Hostility hasn't been eliminated, he said, but it no longer feels like a constant presence. The strong religious conviction of many Hispanic families around Greenville has provided a point of connection with whites in the heavily evangelical area. And the globalized character of the region's economy may have also seeded the ground for acceptance. "This is the most international place in the state of South Carolina," Leon said. "And as a result of that, people are more open to diversity. There's no doubt in my mind."
From a very different angle, Brent Nelsen, a Republican activist and political scientist at nearby Furman University, sees a similar evolution. He remembers attending a Republican precinct meeting "in the heady days of the tea party" in 2009 "and it was all about immigration." But when he attended his precinct meeting in March, guns and gay marriage dominated the conversation, and almost no one mentioned immigration—even though Gowdy, the local representative, could play a central role in defining the House's response. Nelsen's theory is that the slowdown in the Hispanic population growth after the housing crash has blunted anxiety. "They were reacting to the inflow of immigrants, [and] there was a basic nativist reaction," Nelson said. "The Hispanic population in this country grew very rapidly, so that whole parts of the country … just became Spanish-speaking…. But after the crash of the housing boom in '08, that really slowed down, and people got used to the level of Hispanics that are here now, and it seems normal."
Lean and engaging, Gowdy has lived in the area his entire life, working in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Greenville and later as the county solicitor in Spartanburg. He has watched the region's transformation from a declining textile economy to a hub of internationally driven growth. "I've never heard a negative reflection on the internationalism that has become the new Upstate," he said in an interview conducted just off the I-85 corridor. "I mean it is really cool to tell people you are the national headquarters for BMW." Nor, Gowdy says, did he ever prosecute a crime "that was rooted in racial animus" against Hispanics; instead, as Spartanburg's county solicitor (or district attorney) he hired the state's first Hispanic victim's advocate. "When you are the DA … you don'task crime victims, 'What is your legal status?' " he said. Gowdy said he feels no backlash against demographic change in his district that would poison the well for immigration reform. And while he attaches many conditions to any path to citizenship—including rigorous background checks, not giving undocumented residents any advantage over those waiting legally, and linking any legalization process to verifiable progress on securing the border—when asked whether he supports establishing some legal status for those here illegally, he doesn't hesitate: "What is the alternative?"
That doesn't mean that all, or even most, people around Greenville would be enthusiastic about legislation providing legal status or citizenship to illegal immigrants. Republican state Sen. Lee Bright of Spartanburg, who has mused about challenging Sen. Lindsey Graham in a GOP primary, said any such measure would be a mistake. "I think the rule of law is important, and, obviously, letting people who came here become legal citizens is a problem," he said. "We have to have a common culture and assimilation, and we don't have that now. I think the debate is headed in the wrong direction." At Tommy's Ham House, Jason Jernigan, a flooring mechanic from Berea, was one of several who echoed Bright's concerns. "I don't got no problem with them—we opened up our church to them and let them start their own church in it," he said. "But they should not be rewarded for doing something illegal. If I do something illegal, I've got to go to a jail."
Such views aren't particularly surprising in such a conservative area. More striking was how many people in Tommy's on that early-April morning struck the opposite chord. Randy Taylor, a television repairman from Greenville eating breakfast with Jernigan, was one of them. He pored over the morning paper while drinking his coffee, and when a visiting reporter joined him, he immediately identified himself as a "staunch Southern Christian conservative." Asked a few minutes later about gun control, Taylor reached for the pocket of the jacket draped across his chair. "Want to see mine?" he said. "It's right here. I'm a carrier." He held a low opinion of Obama and wasn't much more enthusiastic about Graham. Yet about illegal immigrants, Taylor said, "I think we need to make a path to get them all legalized. I don't think it should be amnesty … but they need to register, start the process, pay the money [in fines]. I don't believe in sending them back, because it's not feasible. And doing nothing is not the route to go."
Taylor, like several others in the room, thought it important that illegal immigrants not receive public benefits or any preferential treatment in obtaining citizenship, more so than that they be rounded up or persuaded to leave. The attitudes at Tommy's suggest an unanticipated rebound from Mitt Romney's loud call in the 2012 campaign for "self-deportation." Even many conservative voters, it appears, looked at that idea and found it unrealistic. Taylor's remarks paralleled the results of focus groups conducted recently among Republican primary voters in Greenville and Des Moines, Iowa, by the GOP research group Resurgent Republic. Summarizing the results of those sessions, the group wrote, "Universally deporting undocumented immigrants is viewed as an impractical solution." Former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, a cofounder of the group, says that means Republican legislators may have "more room to maneuver" in crafting immigration reform than is commonly assumed. "Members, if they are inclined to be for a broad-based solution approach, if they take the time to make sure their voters are informed, I think they are going to have a lot more latitude than the initial impression has been," Gillespie said. Even in a place as consistently conservative as Upstate South Carolina, by all indications that's exactly what Gowdy is betting as well.
Snow still wrapped the trees and power lines outside the windows in a top-floor meeting room when the Marshall Square Resource Network gathered for its monthly session in March. The network brings together small nonprofit organizations that work with the large and long-standing Hispanic population in the Little Village and Pilsen neighborhoods on Chicago's west side. These neighborhoods once provided the gateway for Irish, Polish, and Czech immigrants, a legacy imprinted in the names of streets like Pulaski Road and Cermak Road (named after the Czech-born Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who was killed in an assassination attempt against Franklin Roosevelt).
"We went through a political storm ... and it was like, ... 'We don't want you here.' But now that's swinging back. "—Wilfredo Leon of Greenville, S.C.
Today the streets are filled with predominantly Mexican families of modest means. These hardscrabble neighborhoods feel very distant from the sheen of the Magnificent Mile of designer shops along Michigan Avenue downtown. But they possess their own unmistakable vibrancy. The schools are crowded with young children. Slicing through Little Village, 26th Street is a bustling commercial strip, with families ambling with strollers past clothing stores, banks, travel agencies, and a swarm of shops advertising money transfers and phone cards. "Everything is a connection between those who are here and those who are in Mexico," said Rep. Gutierrez, as he drove along the strip. The stretch attracts Hispanic shoppers from across the Midwest. "You know about the Magnificent Mile: In Little Village, we have what I refer to as the two magnificent miles," Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in an interview. "It produces more sales revenue for the city of Chicago, outside of the Magnificent Mile, than anywhere else."
The most powerful impression that emerges almost immediately in these neighborhoods is the ubiquity and immediacy of the immigration debate. Lawrence Benito, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, said the best estimate is that there are 550,000 undocumented immigrants in Illinois, about half of them likely in Chicago. In Little Village and Pilsen, that translates into families that include almost every possible permutation of legal and illegal status. Local activists say it is not unusual for legal status to differ between spouses, between parents and children, and even between siblings. At Latinos Progresando, a neighborhood organization, "the vast majority" of people who seek help are citizens or permanent residents with undocumented relatives, said a community activist also named Luis Gutierrez, who founded the group.
Uncertainty and ambiguity about immigration is woven into the fabric of life here. For those without legal status, "it's harder to work, it's harder to do travel, it's harder to do everything," said Gutierrez, the community worker. Chicago's reputation as a haven for immigrants, activists say, buffers daily concern about deportation but doesn't extinguish it. Parents wrestle with difficult choices about what, and when, to tell children. At the Marshall Square Network meeting, Marcy Gonzalez, who runs the Latinos Progresando legal-service program, told the group about a mother who brought in her two teenage sons for help in filling out the forms required under Obama's "deferred action" executive order allowing children brought here illegally by their parents to obtain temporary legal status. As Gonzalez worked through the questions with the family, the two boys grew more and more perplexed. "The 16- and 17-year-old were like, 'What am I doing here, Mom?' " Gonzalez recalled. "And what's when they found out they were undocumented."
Immigration reform providing legal status for those here illegally wouldn't remotely erase all of the problems confronting these neighborhoods, a list that includes poverty, lack of health insurance, struggling schools, and crime. But activists and residents say it could trigger significant changes. One would be to ease the way illegal immigrants interact with public institutions, such as schools and the health care system. Increasing parental engagement in education has been a priority for Emanuel, but he said some parents without legal status hesitate to meet with teachers, even if their children are U.S. citizens. "I am trying to encourage parental involvement and responsibility in schools, and schools are part of 'the system' … [so] beneath the current, there is a hidden factor," he said. "Today's immigration laws are a small but nonetheless flashing light."
That dynamic reflects a general reluctance of illegal immigrants to interact with public systems in any way—even when their citizen children are eligible for benefits such as health insurance. Lisa Monnot is the associate director of Taller de Jose, an innovative church-funded group that accompanies residents to health care appointments, court appearances, and visits to public agencies. "We do have a lot of clients who are hesitant to apply for public benefits even if their children are eligible," she said. "There is that fear to go anywhere and access certain services because [they worry] that somebody is going to pick you up." Raul Garcia, the multicultural community-affairs manager for the Sinai Community Institute, which runs a hospital chain in Chicago, said that undocumented immigrants often "are afraid" to seek care until they have no choice. "They go when they have an emergency," he said. "They don't go for prescriptions; they don't go to see a doctor for a checkup. That's a problem not only for them, but … for the system."
Legalization's other big tangible impact, many in these neighborhoods believe, would be to provide an economic jolt. Elizabeth Chavez, the travel-agency owner who greeted Rep. Gutierrez in the restaurant, says with legal status, people would be "more inclined to spend money, buy a house, open a business." Rep. Gutierrez agrees. Driving past a bank on 26th Street, he said, "Can you imagine, when you legalize 11 million people, how many homes will be sold? How many mortgages? How many cars?" The final intangible is how much these communities might be changed by lifting the apprehension and anxiety that shadow those here illegally. Community activists talk of parents who ask such piercingly tangible questions as who will care for their children if they are deported. "There's a lot of fear," Rep. Gutierrez said simply.
Across these communities, it's clear there is also a great deal of anticipation. People are keenly aware of the Hispanic role in Obama's victory (he carried 81 percent in this district), and the promises he's made to push reform harder than he did during his first term. At the Marshall Square meeting, Gonzalez told the group she is already being peppered with questions from families anticipating that Congress will create a program allowing them to seek legal status. "People are asking, 'What do I need to get ready?' " she said. "They say, 'We don't know if we should be excited, scared, nervous. Should we be taking out a loan to be ready for what's going on?' "
In Greenville, outside of the Hispanic community, the issue isn't as urgent. Nelsen, the political scientist and Republican activist, says gay marriage and gun control now provoke much more conversation in conservative circles. That ebbing of interest among Greenville's whites may serve the cause of immigration reform as much as the surge of excitement among Little Village's Mexican-Americans. The growing anticipation among Hispanics heightens the pressure on Democrats to pass a bill; the waning resistance among conservatives provides more flexibility for Republicans who believe the party must resolve this issue to win back the White House. From very different positions in the complex mosaic of immigration reform, Little Village and Greenville may be sliding into alignment.

Local residents and businesses will soon be paying a little bit more to have their garbage hauled away.
The Greenville City Council is scheduled Tuesday to consider approving increases in the city's solid waste collection and disposal fees. The vote is included under Tuesday's regular session, starting at 6 p.m. in the Municipal Building, 2821 Washington Street. A work session is set at 5 p.m. Tuesday.
In a memo to the Council, Finance Director Cliff Copeland explained the city approved new waste collection and disposal contracts in 2008.
"In October 2011, the City was notified by both Progressive and Republic Services that the collection and disposal charges would increase 1.52 percent and 3.18 percent respectively based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases under the contracts," Copeland said. "The City did not pass this increase on to the customers."
Copeland said the city was notified again last month of another increase in collection and disposal charges, effective October 1, based on CPI increases in the contracts.
"The increase starting October 1 for collection is 2.38 percent and 1.64 percent for disposal charges," Copeland said. "The 2012-13 Adopted Budget included these increases as a pass through from the vendors to the customer."
The budget also included a passing along of the rises in the fees and charges based on the 2011 CPI increases, which means the total increases amount to 3.9 percent for collection and 4.82 percent for disposal.

Report: Phoenix Suns owner Sarver meets with LeBron James' agent in Cleveland
Originally published: Jul 3, 2014 - 5:51 pm
ESPN NBA reporter Chris Broussard tweeted Thursday that owner Robert Sarver met with LeBron James' agent Rich Paul Wednesday in Cleveland, which is another destination the four-time MVP is considering. Paul is also the agent for Suns restricted free agent Eric Bledsoe.
Last weekend, Yahoo! Sports reported that the Suns wanted to make a joint pitch to James and seven-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony, both of whom have opted out of their contracts.
Broussard said that teaming James and Anthony was discussed Wednesday, but he also said that Sarver talked about pairing James with his Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh in Phoenix.
Bosh averaged 16.2 points and 6.6 rebounds in the regular season last year with Miami, his 11th in the league. Bosh, Anthony and James were all taken in the 2003 NBA Draft, comprising three of the top four picks.
Broussard's tweet is the first to mention a Bosh-to-Phoenix scenario.
The Suns are one of four teams to have met with James' agent up until this point -- Cleveland, Houston and Dallas being the others -- in Cleveland, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports said on Twitter Thursday that three finalists could return to Cleveland next to make presentations to James' agent and the superstar himself. The Yahoo! reporter did not say which three have been chosen.
The Suns have been active in free agency all week. They've expressed interest in small forward Gordon Hayward and power forward Pau Gasol, and Thursday the team brought center Spencer Hawes into Phoenix for a meeting.

GetDP is an open source finite element solver using mixed elements to discretize de Rham-type complexes in one, two and three dimensions. The main feature of GetDP is the closeness between the input data defining discrete problems (written by the user in ASCII data files) and the symbolic mathematical expressions of these problems.
For example, to solve the Poisson equation
div(a grad(v)) = f on a
D, an input file ("
.pro" file) would contain
something like this:
FunctionSpace { { Name H1; Type Form0; BasisFunction { { Name sn; NameOfCoef vn; Function BF_Node; Support D; Entity NodesOf[All]; } } } } Formulation{ { Name Poisson; Type FemEquation; Quantity { { Name v; Type Local; NameOfSpace H1; } } Equation { Galerkin { [ a[] * Dof{d v}, {d v} ] ; In D; Jacobian V; Integration I; } Galerkin { [ f[], {v} ] ; In D; Jacobian V; Integration I; } } } }i.e., a direct transcription of the discrete function space and weak form of the problem.
See GetDP's reference manual for a more thorough overview of GetDP's capabilities.
Current stable release: Windows 32 bit / 64 bit, Linux 32 bit / 64 bit, MacOS X and source code
The binary versions are compiled with PETSc, with support for sequential direct sparse linear solvers using MUMPS. For large problems you should consider compiling the parallel (MPI) version of GetDP: check the wiki (login: getdp, password: getdp) for sample build instructions.
svn co

Please use the public mailing list email@example.com to send questions or ask for help. If you think you have found a bug in the program, you can file a report directly here (username: getdp, password: getdp).
In short, this means that everyone is free to use GetDP and to redistribute it on a free basis. GetDP is not in the public domain; it is copyrighted and there are restrictions on its distribution (see the license and its associated FAQ). For example, you cannot integrate this version of GetDP (in full or in parts) in any closed-source software you plan to distribute (commercially or not). If you want to integrate parts of GetDP into a closed-source software, or want to sell a modified closed-source version of GetDP, you will need to obtain a different license.

Comments about Quilted Air Conditioner Cover:
I got the one for small air conditioner units and this cover fits mine perfectly. I have it installed securely and I didn't want to take it out in the winter now I don't have to. My only problem is it is a little on the thin side. If this was just a tad thicker I would have rated it a five.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

BRODHEADSVILLE, PA — Good things come in earth-friendly packages. CowPots, the biodegradable 'pots you plant' that make planting simple and gardening fun, are now available in new conveniently-sized pots and flats.
The multiple award-winning growing pots from The Liquid Fence® Company has made it easier for growers and gardeners to get seedlings off to a healthier, stronger start.
"Gardeners and growers alike love our CowPots and when they asked us for additional sizes– we listened," says Matt Freund, the Connecticut dairy farmer who along with his brother Ben, invented the nifty pots.
Besides the currently available 3 inch CowPots in 12 packs and 4 inch CowPots in 12 packs, now gardeners can grab the 3 inch CowPots in 6-cell flats with three flats per package at their favorite garden center.
Along with the upgrades in sizes, they've downsized the prices! "Through new advances in production techniques, we're now able to pass the savings on to the consumer and offer CowPots at lower prices," says Edward Abraham, president of The Liquid Fence Company. "So besides helping the planet, CowPots are helping the economy!"
And for commercial growers who want the best start for their plants, 5 new sizes of CowPots are available in bulk: 5 inch square and round pots, and 6 cell flats now join the already popular 3 and 4 inch square pots.
Gardeners and growers love them because they save steps, time and resources. They're odor-free, non-toxic and the perfect good-for-the-earth growing pot!
Made with 100% renewable composted cow manure, these handy pots for seedlings save time, are packed with the goodness of manure, and allow young roots to breathe and grow out the sides and bottoms, producing sturdier, healthier plants.
And the added convenience of planting these pots directly into the ground without having to deal with recycling or disposing of plastic is a real time and money-saver.
It's no surprise that the awards and accolades keep piling up, the The Mail Order Gardening Association's Green Thumb Award and Joe Lamp'l's "Best of the Must-Haves for 2008."
Mike Rowe of The Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" said it best during his CowPots feature: "Brown is the new green!"
Retail and commercially sized CowPots, new from The Liquid Fence Company, are available at www.cowpots.com.

Eclectic mix of interesting alternative, jazz, singer songwriter, Americana and much more.
Freetown Radio is a free form, mixed bag of sounds showcasing music that is often neglected on commercial radio. Host Roger Kash exposes the intricate and subtle connections linking all genres of music from the dawn of recorded music early in the 20th Century to the so called "modern" sounds of today. Each week Roger deals with a specific theme and explores connections that transcend the boundaries of genre, exposing classifications as just marketing tools that record companies invent to sell records. Freetown Radio strives to be the epitome of non-commercial radio.
Music from the Cajun and Creole archives at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Center for Culture and Eco-tourism. Megan samples collections like the 1934 Lomax recordings, 1950's recordings by Harry Oster, 1960's recordings by Ralph Rinzler and more recent recordings from Festivals Acadians et Creoles.
Dirty Rice is the longest running Louisiana Music show going today. Started by Todd Mouton back in 1991 or so it's now hosted on an alternating week basis by Lee Kleinpeter me. We're trying to bring you the best Louisiana music on your Saturday nights. The way i see it is that it's time to roll up the rug, sweep up the floor, turn up the radio loud and wear out the linoleum if you're housebound, drive a little faster if you're out on the streets or just plain have fun out there cooking in the kitchen.......
Lots of traditional and contemporary Cajun French favorites. Includes a weekly segment with A.J. LeBlanc on Acadian genealogy.

De CHARLES GRIFFIN GIBSON
This is my first book of photography. It's a collection of my work from 2009 - 2010. It's mostly pieced together from my first year living in New York.
Acerca del autor
I've never referred to myself as a photographer, but I guess I sort of am at this point. I've been shooting since a High School photography class when I was 16 and have had brief periods of output here and there, but really only in the past few years has it been anything that has been worth sharing. It's hard to stand out because photos have become so easy to take and distribute, but I still think the ambience and content of my work has something special about it. Or maybe it doesn't. I'm not even sure anymore.

Art re-examined through the lens of childhood.
"Saturday Morning Revisited," by Ebensburg artist Brian Dumm, will be on display March 8-31 at Community Arts Center of Cambria County, 1217 Menoher Blvd., Westmont.
An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. March 8.
Dumm is an artist, illustrator and art educator who studied art at Columbus College of Art and Design, Penn State and Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
He has taught art in the Central Cambria School District for the past 11 years.
While growing up, Dumm turned to the closest examples of artwork he could find for inspiration.
He fell in love with the visual arts through Saturday morning cartoons on a black-and-white television set, Sunday newspaper comic strips and newsstand comic books.
"Years later, love has evolved into passion and, at times, obsession," Dumm said.
"I spent years being trained in more traditional techniques, where I learned a great deal of respect for all things visual. More often than not, I end up back where I started, calling upon those early references for stylistic inspiration."
Dumm believes he has misunderstood the lack of acceptance that sometimes exists between the fine art and the commercial art worlds.
In the art world, the question, "What is art?" is debated, followed by the question, "What is not art?"
"Conversations on the matter have left me, at times, amused, enlightened, angered and confused," Dumm said.
He has realized that the perception of art is subject to the viewer and the context the viewer brings to the practice of looking.
"I'm interested in concepts that implicate drawing as a verb, but also appreciate the point when the artist removes his hand from the process and places the viewer in control," Dumm said.
"In turn, I ask the viewer to consider not only the narrative but also the artist's mark and the context of the medium."
Dumm believes his goal as an artist is to walk the line between the worlds of fine and commercial art, seeking to clarify what the art community accepts in each.
"I want to better understand where my own artwork fits within those defined boundaries, and then to smash as many of those boundaries as possible, challenging definitions and prompting new questions about what art is," he said.
Dumm also is a practicing professional illustrator represented by Portfolio Solutions LLC in New York.
He is a member of Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators and Allied Artists of Johnstown.
Dumm has presented at the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development national conference in Chicago on the topic of art education.
His work has been shown in galleries throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio, and his illustrations have been published worldwide.
Dumm authored "Piper the Elf Trains Santa," which was named a Mom's Choice Award winner for best children's picture book in 2012.

The Bears' defense isn't going to let Michael Vick dominate the game, but he'll be able to make a couple big plays, and that could be all it takes for the Eagles to win.
Even without ballhawking CB Asante Samuel, who won't play because of a knee injury, Philadelphia will keep Chicago's 30th-ranked offense in check. Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott is going to blitz liberally, and the Bears' offensive line is going to be overmatched at times. Jay Cutler will be hurried consistently and could hurt his cause with a turnover or two.
The "D" will keep Chicago within striking distance all afternoon, but the offense just won't be productive enough.
Prediction: Eagles 20, Bears 19

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- One local school is celebrating science and nature with a new outdoor science park.
School and city officials joined McKee Road Elementary in their dedication of the park, hoping this will raise kids' tests scores and interest in science.
"Our children have watched it go from a dream to a reality," said Mckee Road Elementary Principal, Beverly Newsome.
The students of McKee Road Elementary school got their first chance to explore their new outdoor science park. It's modeled after the state of North Carolina, after Newsome said she wanted something to get the kids outside and learn.
"As long as science is hands-on, children love science," said Newsome.
Outdoor Coordinator Janet Taranto designed the regions from the teepee in the Piedmont, to the sand on the coast, along with plaques that teach children-- like the tree trunks representing deforestation.
"One of the things important for them to understand is how much carbon dioxide trees absorb and how much oxygen they give out and why it's so important to protect our tree canopy," said Taranto.
CMS Superintendent Dr. Heath Morrison emphasized the importance of this project with North Carolina ranking 36 out of 50 in the country in science.
"We're not where we want to be, so it's not so much where we're ranking, but we know science is a huge part of what we're wanting to have our children learn and do, and so we have to do a better job," said Dr Morrison.
Mayor Anthony Foxx joined school officials and kids for their dedication.
"Doing things like this are helping kids understand that science has real life applications and they use science all the time," said Mayor Foxx.
And they're hoping as this park grows the kids knowledge will too.
"By doing the experiments in the classroom as well as doing this type of learning environment it should definitely positively impact our students achievement in science," said Newsome.
They hope to add a garden to the park and continue planting trees as a tool to help the kids learn.
School officials say the public is free to visit and use the park as well.

Passing the family farm to the next generation takes a lot of planning, but officials say it's not uncommon for Kansas farmers to avoid solidifying those plans.
Attorney Stacey Seibel told The Hutchinson News that she asked farmers about their inheritance plans at a recent seminar in Plainville.
She said 35 of the farmers were between the ages of 50 and 70, and 25 percent of them didn't have a plan or a will. She said another 25 percent had a will, but it was more than eight years old.
Kansas Farm Bureau attorney Mike Irvin says he gets calls from members who say they don't know what their father has planned for the farm.
Officials say farm transition is important because farmers are disproportionately older and nearing retirement.

Makeup, Pat McGrath for CoverGirl
Hair, Guido Palau for Redken
THE LOOK: Sophisticated schoolgirl
MAKEUP: "Mrs. Prada wanted the girls to look young and cool and a bit raw—as if they'd just been trying on clothes in front of the mirror," said McGrath, who gave models flushed pink cheeks and dusty rose lids that meshed beautifully with the designer's blush-colored aviator caps, Mary Jane hybrid knee boots, and sixties-inspired frocks.
HAIR: Palau's neatly brushed ponytails made loose reference to a young Catherine Deneuve (think Belle du Jour) from the front—but the long silver barrettes he used to fasten them at the nape of the neck looked like something a schoolgirl might have stashed in her desk. "It's innocent," he said. "But there's something quite dark about [pairing] childish details with those sophisticated clothes."
SKIN: After "pale-ing out" the complexion with a lighter-than–skin tone foundation, McGrath got down to work. "More blush!" she repeated like a mantra to her team, blending layer upon layer of warm pink cream "down and out" toward the hairline to mimic a natural flush. (Also working in her favor: the steamy backstage area, which had models, photographers, and makeup artists frantically fanning themselves.)
EYES: McGrath mixed the perfect rosy brown eye color by hand, and then blended it from the lids to the brow bones. She skipped mascara altogether and rimmed the eyes with a soft beige pencil for a wide-eyed look instead.
LIPS: In keeping with her monochromatic palette, "We're dabbing that same rosy blush onto the lips," she said.
HAIR: "It looks like the girls could have done it themselves," said Palau, who finger-combed a two-inch section of hair at the crown straight back and sprayed it into place using Redken Forceful hair spray. After gathering the bottom with a long, flat barrette, he pulled out a few pieces at the sides of the face—cutting them when necessary to create the appearance of girlish flyaways.
NAILS: A clear top coat (Seche Vite Dry Fast) gave hands a hint of shine.

Four projects to restore salmon habitat in and near the South Sound will receive more than $2 million in grants from the state Salmon Recovery Funding Board. They were among 11 Puget Sound-area projects that will receive $9.6 million in grants.
The list of projects includes protecting a section of the Cedar River and conserving Dungeness River habitat.
All the projects are aimed at restoring damaged salmon habitat, conserving pristine salmon habitat or collecting data that will help make strategic investments in salmon recovery, said an agency news release.
Projects in the South Sound receiving grants were:
South Fork Puyallup River: $191,095. The Pierce County Surface Water Management Division will use this grant to restore and reconnect about 42 acres of floodplain to the South Fork Puyallup River. The county will build a three-quarter-mile-long side channel, place logjams along the channel and shape the channel to increase the types of habitat there. The river is used by chinook salmon, steelhead and bull trout, all listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. Pierce County will contribute $33,723 in cash.
Whiteman Cove Estuary: $72,000. The South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group will use this grant to complete preliminary designs for restoration of Whiteman Cove, south of Joemma Beach State Park. The enhancement group is considering actions to restore fish passage, improve tidal flow, improve spawning habitat and increase the number of salt marsh plants in the cove. Improvements would give salmon species access to a 29-acre estuary with 1.5 miles of shoreline and 1 mile of freshwater spawning and rearing habitat.
Lower Ohop Creek Valley: $1,394,411. The Nisqually Land Trust and the salmon enhancement group, in partnership with the Nisqually Indian Tribe, State Parks and other organizations, will use this grant to realign 1.4 miles of Ohop Creek, place logjams in the creek and plant the creek banks. The Eatonville area creek, a primary tributary of the Nisqually River, is a major producer of chinook salmon. Already more than 2 miles of habitat have been restored for listed salmon species. The enhancement group will contribute $251,162 from state and federal grants.
West Sound Water Classifications: $250,000. The Wild Fish Conservancy will use these funds to determine water type classifications for 100 miles of streams in the west Sound, including parts of Kitsap, Pierce and Mason counties. The information – to be available online – will be used to help identify and prioritize salmon restoration projects. The conservancy will contribute $45,000 from a local grant and donations of labor and materials.

We all have money and we all have stuff. We have also all been tricked into the worlds way of thinking about our possessions. The world says we need more and we believe it. How many of us have stood before a full closet of clothes bemoaning the fact that we have nothing to wear? The world says old is not good you need some things new and we agree. How often do we buy new things even though the old ones work fine but look a little worn (electronics, furniture, shoes, kitchen items). The world says you have worked hard for your money you deserve to spend it on yourself and we listen and become greedy, selfish and stingy.
Luke 16 is all about the love of money. Wealth, in and of itself, is not bad. Luke himself was a doctor and would probably have been well off. Possibly one of the wealthiest of Jesus' disciples. Other people in the Bible were wealthy, like Abraham, but they knew the place money and wealth had compared to godliness.
The Pharisees, on the other, despite all their religiosity, were very money minded. They wanted to look good and believed that wealth was a sign that one was blessed by God.
So the stories that Jesus tells were designed to expose what was inside the Pharisees hearts, specifically in regards to money. One of these stories is about a very wealthy man who was covered in the best clothes and lived in luxury while a very poor man, Lazarus, was covered in sores laying at the rich man's gate hoping for some scraps of food.
Both of these men die. Lazarus goes to heaven and the rich man goes to hell. While in hell the rich man asks that Lazarus wet his lips with some water. When he realizes that all is lost he asks that Lazarus be allowed to warn his brothers. Abraham says "They have the word of God, that is what they need to listen to". But the rich man doesn't think that is enough. He thinks that if his brothers could see someone come back from the dead then they would repent but Abraham knows the condition of man's heart. He tells him that if they don't believe God's word then they won't believe even if someone comes back from the dead.
A real man named Lazarus did come back from the dead and the Pharisees did not believe. Jesus himself was raised back to life and people have continued to reject him.
People's hearts are set on the wrong things and therefore do not believe or follow God. We can also fall into this same trap. We become preoccupied with the pleasures of this life over the life to come. We are more interested in the gifts then the giver. How do we avoid this pitfall? We must place money and our possessions in their proper place.
1. Remember
We must always remind ourselves where all the good things we have come from (James). But we must also look beyond the material things and realize that it is God who has given us and our spouses the talents, brains and desires to get an education or find a job that brings in the money that allows us to buy things. Is it possible that God allowed all of these things to fall into place so that we could help others?
If we want to curb our [ungodly] passions we must remember that all things are made for us, with the purpose that we may know and acknowledge their Author. We should praise his kindness toward us in earthly matters by giving him thanks. – John Calvin
2. Stay Thankful
Thankfulness will keep us humble and it will protect us from abusing or misusing the good gifts that God has given us. It will keep us from turning our material possession and our money into idols. We must protect ourselves from stinginess as well as wastefulness and being thankful will help us.
3. Look for opportunities
We must look for opportunities to serve with our finances as well as with our material belongings. Could you bless a missionary with a package? Are there people in your lives whom you could spoil with a home cooked meal and an evening of fellowship? Maybe we can donate items in our house that are sitting around collecting dust. Don't hold on to things thinking that maybe, one day, when the kids are grown, you could use it again. Trust that God will provide for you when the times comes and give those things away to someone who can use them now.
God has called us to love and care for others. The things we own and the money we have will not last forever, but what we do with them can have eternal consequences both for good or for bad.
Looking to Jesus,

A Vitec Group brand
New independent colour reproduction testing highlights Litepanels quality
CHATSWORTH, Calif., (June 17, 2014 )–Litepanels®, a Vitec Group brand and premier provider of LED lighting for the broadcast and production industries, has announced the results of recent TLCI-2012 colour reproduction testing conducted by colour science expert Alan Roberts.
The Litepanels 1×1 Bi-Focus (flood and spot daylight balanced LEDs), Inca 9 and Inca 12 Tungsten LED Fresnels, and Sola 9 and Sola 12 Daylight LED Fresnels were analysed in the newly created Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI) and scored very highly against the competition.
The TLCI method, developed by BBC engineer Alan Roberts in conjunction with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), is an alternative to the current colour rendering index (CRI) that was originally used to determine the light quality of tungsten lights. When used on LED lighting, however, CRI can produce unreliable results.
The TLCI method assesses both the output of the specific light (spectral power distribution), as well as the response to the TV system using a spectroradiometer and software analysis. The scores fall into five categories ranging from the poorest quality (0-25) where colour rendering would need to be significantly improved by the colourist, to the best quality (85-100) where any errors so small that they do not warrant correcting.
The Litepanels LEDs all measured in the top category with the 1×1 Bi-Focus lights achieving 98, the Inca 9 rated 93, and the Sola 9 rated 94.
Chris Marchitelli, vice president of marketing for Litepanels, says: "Litepanels LEDs have always performed well in CRI testing, achieving top results. However, the TLCI measurement is particularly significant for the industry as it has been developed specifically with the LED light in mind.
"The results of the testing underscore the Litepanels commitment to quality and innovation, and we welcome this new method and really see the benefits of it for the television and film lighting industry."
