USC Upstate to Receive 152 Warhol Photographs
Spartanburg, S.C. – The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts announced an unprecedented gift of Warhol art to 183 college and university art museums across the U.S. The gift, made through the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program in honor of the foundation's 20th anniversary, consists of 28,543 original Warhol photographs valued in excess of $28 million. The University of South Carolina Upstate has been notified that it will receive 152 of the Warhol photographs and anticipates delivery before April 1.
"Andy Warhol is recognized as a pop artist icon and having his original work in the permanent collection at USC Upstate is an exciting and unprecedented opportunity for a University of our age and size. In accepting this gift the Warhol Foundation requires each institution to promote and make public the collection through exhibition and research venues and these requirements interface perfectly with the Metropolitan Mission of USC Upstate. We look forward to documenting and preparing the collection for presentations in the near future," said Jane Nodine, professor of art and director of the University Gallery at USC Upstate.
According to foundation President, Joel Wachs, the aim of the Photographic Legacy Program is to provide greater access to Warhol's artwork and process, and to enable a wide range of people from communities across the country to view and study this important yet relatively unknown body of Warhol's work. The program offers institutions that do not have the means to acquire works by Warhol the opportunity to bring a significant number of photographs into their permanent collections, while allowing those institutions that do have Warhol in their collections to enrich the breadth and depth of their holdings.
Each of the participating institutions will receive original Polaroid photographs and gelatin silver prints selected by Jenny Moore, curator of the Photographic Legacy Program. "A wealth of information about Warhol's process and his interactions with his sitters is revealed in these images," notes Moore. "Through his rigorous – though almost unconscious – consistency in shooting, the true idiosyncrasies of his subjects were revealed. Often, he would shoot a person or event with both cameras, cropping one in Polaroid color as a "photograph" and snapping the other in black and white as a "picture."
By presenting both kinds of images side by side, the Photographic Legacy Program allows viewers to move back and forth between moments of Warhol's "art," "work," and "life" – inseparable parts of a fascinating whole."
In the foundation's 20-year life span it has given away more than $200 million in cash grants and art donations. "As we look to the future," declared Wachs, "the Warhol Foundation will continue to be guided by the vision of its founder and benefactor, whose dying wish was to establish a foundation to advance the visual arts. We will devote our energy and resources to expanding support for artists and arts institutions throughout the country, and we hope that the foundation's accomplishments will inspire others to follow Andy's visionary lead."
For more information, contact Jane Nodine at (864) 503-5838 or email@example.com or Jenny Moore at (212) 242-2524.

Its the programs first basketball championship, but in only their second season of varsity competition the Houston County Sharks are emerging as the pre-eminent high school adapted sports program in Georgia.
Houston County guard Braxton Robinson scored 10 of his game-high 12 points after intermission, Ja-Que Billingsley controlled the glass, and the Sharks added a GHSA/AAASP basketball championship to their rapidly expanding trophy case with a 24-21 victory over West Georgia in the title game of the state wheelchair basketball tournament Friday at the Macon Coliseum.
The Sharks are already the reigning state champions in team handball and football. Houston County moved up to the varsity division prior to the 2011-12 school year.
We do a good job, head coach Brenda Arnett said. We have a great group of kids. Dynasty? I dont know about that. We were a little nervous going to varsity.
Robinson scored six points in the fourth of six periods. He missed a layup to open the second half, but he worked his way free for several other shots later. His 17-foot shot just before the end of the fourth period gave the Sharks their first lead of the game at 16-15.
We had to step up and help each other with picks, Robinson said. At halftime, the coaches told us we need to focus more and take better shots.
Robinson, an eighth-grader at Northside Middle School in Warner Robins, made 5-of-8 shots after intermission.
Meanwhile, Billingsley sparked the Sharks to a 33-15 edge in rebounding. The Northside High School junior pulled down 11 rebounds on his own. He also had four points and four assists.
Billingsley played a key role in Houston Countys ability to break the Wolverines full-court pressure.
Our coaching staff set up some plays to help us get the ball down court, Billingsley said.
Billingsley and Robinson each played the full 48 minutes. Jeff Sweeney contributed six points and five rebounds in 31 minutes.
Despite three prior victories over West Georgia this season, the Sharks (7-0) started slow in Fridays title game. Eugene Layne and Douglas Johnston scored baskets to sink Houston County into an early 4-0 hole. The baskets allowed the Wolverines (3-5) the chance to set up full-court defensive pressure.
The Sharks initially struggled to handle it. When they did, they missed open shots in the lane.
Johnston finished with nine points. Layne had 10 to pace the Wolverines.
Throughout the first half, Johnston was the best player on the floor. He scored seven points and pulled down two rebounds. Johnston also was credited with three steals and had a number of pass deflections. West Georgia led 13-10 midway through the contest.
Johnston had a chance to force overtime, but his 3-point shot attempt from about 25 feet fell short just before the final buzzer sounded.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolinas Healthcare System said its computer system was hacked.
It says the personal information of some 5,600 patients of CMC –Randolph may have been exposed.
CMC discovered the security breach on October 8 following an upgrade to the hospital's security software.
The hacker may have accessed emails dating back to March 11 including some that contained personal information.
Officials said the hackers may have gained access to patient names, dates and times of service, provider and facility names, internal hospital medical record and account numbers, dates of birth, and treatment information, such as diagnosis, prognosis, medications, results and referrals.
Potentially affected patients have been sent personal letters explaining the type of information involved.
At this time, Carolinas HealthCare System has no evidence that the information has been misused, and based on the investigation, no other email accounts or other computer systems (including the electronic medical records system) were found to have been affected by this incident.
The hospital says if you have questions you can call this number at 1-877-313-1404.

By some coincidence, last month I wrote separate stories featuring a 95-year-old World War II veteran Herb Tollefson and 101-year-old World War II veteran Carl Paul.
Tollefson's story highlighted his recent visit to Malta, where he repaired damaged American bombers for much of 1943. He and his family went looking for friends he made as a young mechanic. They made connections that connected him with the descendants of a Maltese police officer he was close to in the war.
Paul is a Spokane resident spending a couple months at the blind rehabilitation center at the VA Puget Sound's American Lake campus. The VA threw him a party for his 101st birthday earlier this month. As a young paratrooper, he participated in the 82nd Airborne Division's assaults on Sicily and Normandy.
Tollefson lives in Parkland and regularly reads The News Tribune. He read the story about Paul and decided he wanted to meet a "real hero" from the war.
His son helped arrange their meeting last week. They swapped stories at the American Lake campus. It turns out they were in Sicily at the same time in the summer of 1943.

DVDs go to winners
Carole Tanzer Miller, features editor, writes: Congratulations to winners of the fitness DVD drawing:
Kim Perry of Cary, whose name was drawn for "Total Body Pilates with Mini Ball"; Dave and Carrie Helston of Willow Spring, for "Supreme 90-day System, a 10-DVD set"; and Sandra Richardson of Raleigh, for "Dance Off the Inches: Hip Hop Body Blast." Your DVDs are on the way. Enjoy!
Cater to yourself
It's holiday party time, with all the yummy nibbles and calorie-filled cocktails that December celebrations imply. Will the celebrating wind up on your waist? Not if you follow these tips from health coach Charity Husk of Take Shape for Life:
Ask for sparkling water and lime instead of beer and wine.
If you'll go away feeling deprived if you pass up a special holiday food, enjoy a bite or two - and no more.
Eat more of the salads and vegetables on the buffet and make meat a side dish.
Don't serve family meals family-style. Keep pots and dishes away from the table, so it's not as easy to go for seconds.
Avoid portion distortion! On a 9-inch dinner plate, fill half with vegetables and fruit; a quarter with protein; and a quarter with starch. A portion of protein is roughly the size of a deck of cards; a portion of starch is about the size of a tennis ball.
Be careful when food shopping. Make a list, get what you need and leave!
Drink plenty of water. And get moving!
A moment of truth
Community Alan Foster writes: Beginning weight: 225. Current weight: 205.
One of my goals at the outset of this yearlong adventure was to improve my health and, specifically, to come off blood pressure medicine.
To fully gauge my results, I've scheduled a complete physical with my physician on the 21st of this month. That's when I intended to tell him the good news that my blood pressure has been in check for over three months (without the meds). Apparently, I spoiled the surprise by mentioning this in a blog posting several weeks ago. My physician told my wife recently that he has been reading my blog and is eager to see me for my physical in a couple of weeks. I trust it's to congratulate me on my blood pressure control rather than to fuss at me for not consulting with him before stopping the meds. I'll report back on the results of the physical - minus any scolding I might receive.
I'm still striving to get the last 5 pounds gone before we wrap up this blog in a few weeks. Keep the encouragement coming.

Peter Ferrara, Contributor
I cover public policy, particularly concerning economics.
Climate change itself is already in the process of definitively rebutting climate alarmists who think human use of fossil fuels is causing ultimately catastrophic global warming. That is because natural climate cycles have already turned from warming to cooling, global temperatures have already been declining for more than 10 years, and global temperatures will continue to decline for another two decades or more.
That is one of the most interesting conclusions to come out of the seventh International Climate Change Conference sponsored by the Heartland Institute, held last week in Chicago. I attended, and served as one of the speakers, talking about The Economic Implications of High Cost Energy.
The conference featured serious natural science, contrary to the self-interested political science you hear from government financed global warming alarmists seeking to justify widely expanded regulatory and taxation powers for government bodies, or government body wannabees, such as the United Nations. See for yourself, as the conference speeches are online.
What you will see are calm, dispassionate presentations by serious, pedigreed scientists discussing and explaining reams of data. In sharp contrast to these climate realists, the climate alarmists have long admitted that they cannot defend their theory that humans are causing catastrophic global warming in public debate. With the conference presentations online, let's see if the alarmists really do have any response.
The Heartland Institute has effectively become the international headquarters of the climate realists, an analog to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It has achieved that status through these international climate conferences, and the publication of its Climate Change Reconsidered volumes, produced in conjunction with the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC).
Those Climate Change Reconsidered volumes are an equivalently thorough scientific rebuttal to the irregular Assessment Reports of the UN's IPCC. You can ask any advocate of human caused catastrophic global warming what their response is to Climate Change Reconsidered. If they have none, they are not qualified to discuss the issue intelligently.
Check out the 20th century temperature record, and you will find that its up and down pattern does not follow the industrial revolution's upward march of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the supposed central culprit for man caused global warming (and has been much, much higher in the past). It follows instead the up and down pattern of naturally caused climate cycles.
For example, temperatures dropped steadily from the late 1940s to the late 1970s. The popular press was even talking about a coming ice age. Ice ages have cyclically occurred roughly every 10,000 years, with a new one actually due around now.
In the late 1970s, the natural cycles turned warm and temperatures rose until the late 1990s, a trend that political and economic interests have tried to milk mercilessly to their advantage. The incorruptible satellite measured global atmospheric temperatures show less warming during this period than the heavily manipulated land surface temperatures.
Central to these natural cycles is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Every 25 to 30 years the oceans undergo a natural cycle where the colder water below churns to replace the warmer water at the surface, and that affects global temperatures by the fractions of a degree we have seen. The PDO was cold from the late 1940s to the late 1970s, and it was warm from the late 1970s to the late 1990s, similar to the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO).
In 2000, the UN's IPCC predicted that global temperatures would rise by 1 degree Celsius by 2010. Was that based on climate science, or political science to scare the public into accepting costly anti-industrial regulations and taxes?
Don Easterbrook, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University, knew the answer. He publicly predicted in 2000 that global temperatures would decline by 2010. He made that prediction because he knew the PDO had turned cold in 1999, something the political scientists at the UN's IPCC did not know or did not think significant.
Peter Ferrara – Odd. You guys on the denier side have been reciting that Trenberth quote about the missing heat being a travesty for years, but you don't seem to know what he meant. He was talking about the difference between incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave radiation as measured by the CERES satellites. ASR-OLR = earth's energy budget.
The satellites were showing more heat trapped on earth than he could acount for on the earth's surface.
Note that ERBE and CERES satellites have been measuring the top of atmosphere radiation fluxes.
You misunderstand the tropospheric hot spot. That is a function of moist adiabatic lapse, and it is a region where convection has brought heat from the ocean surface to the troposphere. It is a characteristic of any global warming, manmade or not. The problem is not that the "hot spot" is absent. It is that the hot spot has been poorly measured. This article explains some of the problems: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2008/05/tropical-tropopshere-ii/
The proof of manmade global warming is stratospheric cooling, which occurs because infrared radiation is blocked by CO2 in the troposphere. Stratospheric cooling has been measured: http://www.atmosphere.mpg.de/enid/20c.html
Face it: Retired geologist Easterbrook has been spinning his "global cooling" fantasy for over a decade…the hottest decade on record. He's wrong.
Easterbrook isn't a climate scientist, and the Heartlanders who have some sort of climate science background don't seem to be doing active research in the field. At any rate, they are throwing up ludicrous objections to the prevailing science.
Most ludicrous of all is the claim that the earth is cooling, when the past eleven years were the hottest on record.
Actually, from the point of view of whether AGW is true, the so-called hot spot is irrelevant. It should be present regardless of the source of warming.
Since measured land, ocean, and satellite temperature readings all show warming, there is no question that the earth s warming.
I take it that you didn't read the Real Climate article. The "hot spot" is not absent. Try reading this: http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2008/12/20/skepticsdenialists-part-2-hotspots-and-repetition/
Key point: "Warming the troposphere or cooling the stratosphere tends to increase tropopause height. If this were the whole argument, the tropopause height increase is real. But the "hotspot" refers to the fact that the surface-to-troposphere temperature gradient decreases. Interestingly, since the greenhouse effect depends on the lapse rate, models produce a negative feedback to this change in temperature gradient. If David Evans is correct about the hotspot not being real, then the most intuitive implication would be toward a heightened climate sensitivity."
Not only is the hot spot real, but if it were not, climate sensitivity (the warming due to an increase in a forcing such as CO2) would be greater.
In regard to models: As I'm sure you know, climate models are sets of equations which show the relationships among the independent variables that affect the target variable (global temperatures, eg.) The mathematical models run real world data to reach conclusions.
Since you claim to be an economist, I have to assume that you know how models work (although economic models tend to be less complex than climate models. So your claim that models are "made up and not real world data," is, I have to assume, a deliberate lie.
Hello Dallassdunce,
So the hotspot that all these wonderful measuring devices all over the world cannot find a scant 8 to 10 km up is now irrelevant, according to the great twit — Dallass. My, one of the fundamentals of AGW isn't needed anymore. What a relief!
So the science isn't settled.
Hello Dallass,
New paper contradicts a tenet of global warming theory
A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics finds that clouds located in the stratosphere over the poles act to cool the stratosphere by adiabatic cooling, which is the cooling of air parcels as they rise and expand, rather than by 'trapping heat' below the clouds resulting in 'radiative cooling' of the stratosphere above. This finding contradicts a tenet of AGW theory, which predicts that infrared radiation from greenhouse gases will 'trap heat' to create a 'hot spot' in the troposphere and cooling of the stratosphere. This study finds that cooling of the stratosphere is instead due to rising air parcels rather than a decrease in radiation due to heat 'trapped by greenhouse gases'.
Damned inconvenient!
ir emit swir, co2 is transparent to swir
ir heat lamps emit swir, co2 is transparent to swir.
for there to be a GREENHOUSE effect there has to be an EFFECT to start with. go find the term used to describe heat on gases. then look up what atmospehric scintillation (AS) is and how heat on gases would effect that. heat on gases casues MOTION. MOTION increases AS. for every ground based optical device would need to be ajusted to compensate for that increase in the effect. no adjustments have been made therefore, no adjustments = no increase in motion = no increase in heat content. dont get me started on ir astromony…they cant find any extra heat either! hers a question for you dale, does co2 trap/amplify heat?

Whipple's disease is a rare condition that prevents the small intestines from properly absorbing nutrients. This is called malabsorption.
Intestinal lipodystrophy
Whipple's disease is caused by infection with a bacteria called Tropheryma whippelii. The disorder mainly affects middle-aged white men.
Whipple's disease is extremely rare. Risk factors are unknown.
Symptoms usually start slowly. Joint paint is the most common initial symptom. After that, often several years later, symptoms of gastrointestinal (GI) infection develop. Other symptoms may include:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam. This may show:
Tests to diagnose Whipple's disease may include:
This disease may also change the results of the following tests:
People with Whipple's disease need to take long-term antibiotics to cure any infections of the brain and central nervous system. An antibiotic called ceftriaxone is given through a vein (IV). It is followed by another antibiotic (such as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) taken by mouth for up to 1 year.
If symptoms come back during antibiotic use, the antibiotic treatment may be changed.
Your health care provider should closely follow your progress, because signs of the disease can return after you finish therapy. Those who have nutritional deficiencies from malabsorption will also need to take dietary supplements.
Without treatment, the condition is usually fatal. Treatment relieves symptoms and can cure the disease.
Call your health care provider if you have persistent joint pain, abdominal pain, or diarrhea.
If you are being treated for Whipple's disease, call your health care provider if:

stever YooperlandPosts: 40,016I need to dedicate some extra time when I'm over by the Alberta Village Museum and Ford Historic Sawmill. Driven by it a half dozen times now. Gotta be more entertaining that the Giant Nickel or largest fiberglass bass/walleye/goose statute.
Need help navigating? firstname.lastname@example.com - or send a private message by clicking on my name.
a '62 Studebaker Gran Turismo Hawk motorized model. I've never seen one.
I'd have to paint that yellow interior.
I always wished Danbury or Fairfield Mint would do a Gran Turismo Hawk. Like the real car, you'd think they'd be halfway there for tooling since there's a beautiful '57 Golden Hawk 1/24 scale model out there.
It was a cheap tinplate toy when new - you can't ask for too much.
Here's on on ebay
There was a fintail in the same Bandai line of tin toys - I have one of these.
For something on the other end of the price/rarity spectrum, a German made clockwork Studebaker
Sad about the Chrysler Museum. The College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend has closed and is moving, which is a real shame. Luckily, the Studebaker National Museum is still doing well per their quarterly updates I get as a member...although, they still sure ask me for money regularly!
I've got to believe the archives helps them out a good bit...build sheets, and blueprints also, even for many Packards pre-merger.
It seems Dinky used my color as their basis. I am not complaining - it's cool to have with the car.
I've never seen a toy of a later Lark/Daytona, but I once had one of these HO scale Larks - this company also made Hawks and Avantis, IIRC:
The British had a fascination with the Wagonaire, here's a Corgi/Husky variant - this one was made in a few different paint schemes, this one as a TV camera car:
Dinky made several Studebaker models, and both firms had Hawks. It might make sense as some the Stude lineup had what one can argue kind of a European feel to it.
Thanks for posting; I had not seen those early Larks before. I do own a yellow Corgi Wagonaire camera car just as you pictured. Matchbox actually got the location of the front fender emblem more-correctly than Corgi. UPI bought a fleet of Wagonaires for camera cars and there are pics on the internet that look like they could have been the inspiration for the Corgi toy.
I have an "Eko" HO-scale Gran Turismo Hawk, made in Spain. It looks like this one but is red (although it does have the silver decklid overlay so must be a '62 or '63):
I so wish that Fairfield or Danbury Mint would do a GT Hawk. They've done just wonderful Golden Hawks and Packard Hawks--they'd be halfways there.
The Matchbox is a finer casting IMO. Also not terribly rare, a must-have if you own the real thing.
I am surprised Brooklin Models hasn't made a GT Hawk either. They've made a few Studes, including an early Lark. They aren't as precise as some models, but they have their charm, and are well made.

Adding some pics from this afternoon in sunny Stockholm, taken with 5D MkIII, 24-105. Post in LR from jpg, I had set it to record both jpg and RAW, but it didn't record them. I am running low on battery and assume the camera made an override and only got the jpgs. I'm still a beginner in LR so I know I'm overcooking it a bit. Will get there soon with more experience I hope. Had another one I wanted to add but wasn't able to resize in LR from 30MB, will retry.

The itchiness does seem to be worse after a shower, but that is not the only trigger...just taking my work cloths off after the work day triggers the itchiness if I put on shorts or a short sleeve shirt.
I am scheduled to see my doctor for a physical in October, but in the meantime, being summer and all, I am trying to get more info and potentially resolve this issue. Is there anyone else out there who has ever experienced anything like this? Please help!
You may want to read more about hives and urticaria and ask your doctor about these conditions when you visit your doctor.

I have no idea what this could be. I already ruled out soap allergies. Covering up the skin and keeping it warm seems to help but doesn't take the itching away completely, except for the bed covers. I also don't notice the itching when I'm exercising. Later in the day, the itching sometimes gets worse. The only thing I could think of is that it has something to do with the blood flow maybe? I have NO clue and it is starting to really bother me... Also, there's are no visual signs of any rash or other sort of irritation...
Hot water and irritating skin care products as well as shaving the legs can irritate the skin starting the itch and scratch cycle.
Also changes in the weather like humidity and being outside and exposure to allergens like pollens can also start the itch and scratch cycle.
Bug bites while outside can also irritate sensitive skin.
Try using skin care and cleaning products that leave out fragrances and coloring to see if that helps with the itching.
- Annie
Also, I should've mentioned that I'm male, so I don't use any kind of skin care products (and definitely don't shave legs ).
What's interesting too is that I have been fine today and yesterday and by coincidence, the weather has been really warm.
The only other thing I can add to the symptoms is that it seems more pronounced when I get tired later in the workweek. Seems like stress amplifies the itching. The lower part of my body is the most prone to the itching as well. When the itching gets severe, the only thing I can do is get under my bed covers and wait about 10min for it to subside. When I gets really bad, I even use a hairblower on occasion to heat up my skin. Crazy stuff!
1. the most important part of my showering routine and the thing that seems to keep this at bay the most is to run the shower water for about 3 minutes before i enter the bathroom and step into the shower. regulating the temperature of the room so that is equal in the shower and outside of the shower seems to help tremendously as your pores arent immediately shocked by the temp. change (i know it is wasteful to let water run so just try to conserve in other situaitons of you feel bad like i do..it is that important!) 2. before exiting the shower i bring the towel in with me and i pat dry starting immediately with my legs and arms, then the rest of my body. i am compoletely dry before i step out into the bathroom 3. it is also helpful if you immediately apply lotion (unscented, hypo-allergenic, i prefer aveeno as these products are made for sensitive, dry and itchy skin) to your legs and arms FIRST...this was told to me by my doc. he said that this helps to block the pores with lotion so that they close slower. this really helps alleviate the itching. 4. putting clothes on immediately after that cover the legs and arms (even a big robe) seems to help while i am getting ready. usually by the time i am ready to dress my skin is calm and good to go!
good luck, i hope these tips are helpful! if anyone has anymore (which is actually the original reason that i logged on today during and itchy episode!) please share!

A nabothian cyst is a mucus-filled lump on the surface of the cervix.
The cervix is part of the female body. It is at the lower end of the womb (uterus) at the top of the vagina. It is about 1 inch long.
The cervix is lined with glands and cells that release mucus. The glands can become covered by a type of skin cells called squamous epithelium. When this happens, the secretions build up in the plugged glands. They form a smooth, rounded bump on the cervix
. The bump is called a nabothian cyst.
Each nabothian cyst appears as a small, white raised bump. There can be more than one.
During a pelvic exam, the health care provider will see a small, smooth, rounded lump (or collection of lumps) on the surface of the cervix. Rarely, magnifying the area (colposcopy) may be needed to tell these cysts from other bumps that can occur.
Sometimes the cyst is opened to confirm the diagnosis.
No treatment is necessary. Nabothian cysts do not cause any problems.
Rarely they may be opened and drained if they are large enough to cause problems with the shape of the cervical canal, which can examinations more difficult.
Nabothian cysts do not cause any harm. They are a benign
Rarely, cysts become so numerous or enlarged that the cervix becomes enlarged or blocked, making it difficult to take a Pap smear.
This condition is usually discovered during a routine pelvic examination.
There is no known prevention.

Studying the Manual
Photo By: Courtesy of
Staged at the Westchester Table Tennis Center in New York State, a total of eleven coaches, under the guidance of Sydney Christophe, have enrolled on an ITTF Level One Course.It is the latest such course in a series organized under the auspices of the United States Table Tennis Association. The targets set increase the number of coaches are being rapidly reached and exceeded.Following the principles of the ITTF Development Programme, the course is being organized over three weekends.Matters commenced on Saturday 4th August and conclude on Saturday 18th August 2012.
Internationals Present"Among those attending this two weekend course are former two-time Caribbean champion Robert Roberts and former National Coach, Rawle Alleyne", explained Sydney Christophe. "Both of these gentlemen represented the Caribbean island of Barbados with distinction in the early 1990s up until around 2005."More From Foreign ShoresTwo course members from Barbados and there are more from foreign shores. "In addition there is Carlos Espinoza-Toro, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate and a former national junior player from Peru", continued Sydney Christophe. "Also there is Wilbert Lawrence, a former Jamaican player; Louis Petrocelli, a Physical Education teacher from a middle school in Queens and Wilson Cheah, a Sophomore at University of Albany."Long JourneysFurthermore, it would seem that distance is no object."Some coaches have travelled more than three hours to attend this course", added Sydney Christophe. "Daniel Moon lives in Pennsylvania; Khanh Ngo and Aabid Sheikh are from Massachusetts."Opening AddressAll present, proceedings commenced with a formal address."On Saturday the coaches were given a pep talk by the Director of American Youth Table Tennis Organisation, Ben Nisbet", explained Sydney Christophe. "The American Youth Table Tennis Organisation, for the second time in two years, has been very instrumental in organizing and co-ordinating this coaches course."Matters under way, there was a welcome guest on the second day of action.Setting An Example"The course was graced by the presence of Will Shortz, owner of the Westchester Table Tennis Center", said Sydney Christophe. "Will, who is considered as a table tennis fanatic, said that he has played in more cities and tournaments than any other player in the USA."No doubt that is true and judging by the rapid increase in coaching activity, ITTF Level One Coaches Course could well be following the example of Wlii Shortz!

On April 30, 2013, LSC held a webinar on the Impact of the Census Adjustment on LSC Grantees FY2013 and FY2014 Basic Field Funding.
A recording of the webinar is available below. If your Internet connection is fast enough, you may find the smaller text in the video is more clear when watching the high definition (HD) version. You can also click here to see a pdf of just the slides.
Following the webinar, LSC staff prepared a list of questions and answers based on feedback from people who participated in the webinar.Click here to read the questions and answers.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Revised Census Data Following LSC's April 30, 2013 Webinar:
Q: The census adjustments will be made over two years, with the first half done in the last six checks of 2013 (beginning on June 1) and the second half in 2014. The Excel calculation sheet sent out appears to contemplate that one quarter of the cuts will be taken out of our checks in 2013. Why does the spreadsheet show 25% for 2013 instead of 50%?
A: Only the last six payments of 2013 (for June-December) will reflect 50 percent of the census adjustment. Because those are only half of the payments for the full year, and because the January-May payments were made without the census adjustment, the full-year 2013 effect of the census adjustment will be only 25 percent. If we were to try to implement 50 percent of the adjustment for all of 2013, we would have to make the June-December checks reflect 100 percent of the adjustment, which seems inconsistent with Congress's instruction to implement the change over a two-year period.
Q: I understand that the remainder of the adjustment will be taken out of the first check in 2014 (the double check for January and November). Is that true, or will the funds be taken out of all 11 checks?
A: Each 2014 check will be equal in amount (assuming no change in LSC's appropriation) and will reflect the full census adjustment. We will not reduce the January payments for the full-year 2014 adjustment and then make subsequent payments as if the census adjustment had not occurred.
Q: I heard that one-half of the census adjustment would be implemented in 2013 and the other half in 2014 (reducing our January payment). However, on your calculation sheet for cell C18 "Total Census Adjustment for 2013," the explanation for the formula says C17 x 25%. When I run these numbers it appears that only 25% is implemented in 2013 and 75% in 2014. Is this an error?
A: 50% of the adjustment occurs in 2013, but it only applies to one-half of the grant payments. Therefore if only one-half of the total year's grant payments reflect the 50% adjustment, the total grant amount for the year reflects only 25% of the adjustment. One-half (six months) of one-half (50%) = 25%. In contrast, all of 2014 grants will reflect 100% of the Census adjustment.
The adjustment is not being applied retroactively; it applies only to those 2013 grant payments (for June-October and December) made after LSC received the poverty numbers from the Census Bureau, e.g., it applies only to six payments, or one-half of the 2013 grant payments. This will be spread over the last six months.
Q: The LSC webinar worksheet, after filling in our information, comes up with an estimated FY14 amount. Should I subject this to another 5% sequestration which is a continuing resolution through the next 9 years?
A: Since there is no 2014 appropriation yet, the formula uses the total funding for FY 2013 to estimate the FY 2014 number. The appropriations process for FY 2014 will determine whether sequestration is included in next year's federal budget.
Q: What is the source of the new poverty data? Why is the data based on the ACS (American Community Survey) when there are other sources of poverty data?
A: The March 2013 Continuing Resolution includes language specifying that the poverty population for LSC service areas should be determined by the Census Bureau every three years. The Census Bureau made the decision to use the data from the 2011 American Community Survey 3-year estimates. (Since the ACS does not cover the territories other than Puerto Rico, other Census Bureau data were used to calculate the poverty populations for territories other than Puerto Rico, because the ACS does not cover those areas.)
Q: My program's annual 2013 basic field funding (excluding migrant and Native American) and the monthly amount of the June-October and December grant payments provided in the Excel file sent with LSC's May 3rd email were different from the funding amounts we calculated using the Excel spreadsheet provided for the webinar. Which are the correct figures?
A: The correct 2013 funding amounts are those contained in the Excel files sent with LSC's May 3rd email.
Q: Why was the amount of my program's funding provided in the Excel file sent with LSC's May 3rd email different from the funding amounts we calculated using the Excel spreadsheet provided for the webinar?
A: The differences resulted from the exclusion of migrant funding in our calculation formula. We tried to make adjustments in the formula to account for this but underestimated the impact. We noted in the follow-up PowerPoint that the variance could be higher in states with large migrant grants.
Q: The poverty numbers for my state and service area listed in the Excel file sent with LSC's May 3rd email are significantly different from the population data in the ACS data sets on the Census Bureau's website. Why are these numbers different?
A: The variance results from the way LSC calculated grant payments for the last half of 2013 to account for the 50% census adjustment. This calculation was based on the 2013 "blended" poverty numbers, which included one-fourth of the total change in the poverty population since the 2000 Census.

The atmosphere around Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's proposed budget is becoming more contentious, Precious indicates, as more rank-and-file Legislature members are coming out and criticizing elements of the spending plan.

Campaign for Liberty's Norm Singleton on Obamacare, Auditing the Fed, and the Libertarian Moment
"A lot of politicians will vote libertarian if that is how they think they remain politicians," says Norm Singleton, Vice President for Policy at Campaign for Liberty.
A nonprofit political group founded by former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), Campaign for Liberty's mission is to promote and defend "individual liberty, constitutional government, sound money, free markets, and a non-interventionist foreign policy." On Thursday Campaign for Liberty kicks off their annual Liberty Political Action Conference, featuring Rep. Paul, Sen. Rand Paul, Rep. Justin Amash, Rep. Thomas Massie, and grassroots activists from around the country.
Singleton believes that libertarianism is on the upswing and that if we are not yet living in a libertarian moment, we are on the cusp. "Clearly," he says, "with the collapse of mainstream conservative ideologies support among young people and the continuing disillusionment that he Obama youth of 2008 and even 1012 are having, libertarianism is the only political philosophy that seems to have any type of appeal among young people."
Singleton sat down with Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss Campaign for Liberty, their push to audit the Federal Reserve, Washington's broken budget process, combatting Obamacare, and why it's important to pressure our representatives.
"I hate to break it to you Nick, but sometimes people in office of both parties just vote because they think that is the popular way to vote."

Still pretending the Fed is not audited, I see.
Look shreeky found a document...that's a good shreeky.
Still pretending that audit is anything but a sham, I see.
But it looks all official n shit with its many stamps and signatures......
You mean like when the police or the NSA do an investigation into their own misconduct, that you aren't satisfied with that?
See, this is the problem with you anarchists, don't trust your own betters to monitor themselves.
Move to Somalia!
The bill is a sham. There is nothing about an audit in it.
It's only Wednesday.
Oh, they will continue to feed it like the good fools they are. They can't help it, and that's what it relies upon.
C'mon I need to get my "two minutes hate" on with anal obstruction. It's the only exercise I'll get before my morning meeting.
Would you deprive me of that? Would you?
Also this:
Myth #6: The Federal Reserve has never been audited.
Basically Fed conspiracy nuts just don't want to accept the banality of what the Fed does. How many of them acknowledge that the Fed rebates something like 90 percent of its profits to the U.S. Treasury, for example?
Fed sent record $88.4 billion profit to Treasury last year
"(Reuters) - The Federal Reserve sent a record $88.4 billion in profits to the Treasury last year, audited results showed on Friday, a big payday for the government thanks to the central bank's massive bond purchases."

Is Deloitte not capable of its annual Fed audit?
Who do you want? Price Waterhouse?
No, it's not capable. Remove the GAO's leash and let it perform a real audit:
Audits of the Reserve Board and Federal Reserve banks may not include:
1. transactions for or with a foreign central bank or government, or nonprivate international financing organization;
2. deliberations, decisions, or actions on monetary policy matters;
3. transactions made under the direction of the Federal Open Market Committee; or
4. a part of a discussion or communication among or between members of the Board of Governors and officers and employees of the Federal Reserve System related to items (1), (2), or (3).
Now Jordan if you start bringing up facts and legitimate points of contention he'll just run away and deprive me of further entertainment.
God damn you people.
So Congress is more suited on FOMC matters?
Louis Gohmert, Michele Bachmann, Sheila Jackson-Lee - those idiots?
That is what this bill is about.
There shouldn't an FOMC. But since there is, it better damn sure be answerable to the people who have to suffer under it.
C'mon, Buttblug. Ideally Congress woudl be competent to actually oversee the FOMC, but the biggest guaranteed benefit of a full audit is transparency. That is, the FOMC, as a quasi-governmental entity, should not be able to operate in secret.
At the risk of being mocked by the rest of the commentariat, I ask: do you seriously disagree that the FOMC should operate in the daylight?
Libertarian moment? I suppose Obamacare will be repealed soon and no new gun control measures will be passed anywhere in the US. Not holding my breath...
Wow, our resident neurotic leftoid is terrified of the prospect of auditing the Fed. Collectivist parasites know where their government bread gets buttered.
But the joke's on him and his ilk. Whether the Fed gets audited or not, the dollar is going down, because the welfare bums and rent seekers and statist/collectivists have abused the hell out of the dollar's reserve status.
