Can someone please help me find some ABBA sounds?
Hello. I'm working on an ABBA-esque song for a film project. Does anyone know of some specific patches I could use?
I've read that Benny (ABBA keyboardist, composer) used a GX-1 and a few other synthesizers. I've read that "Gimme Gimme Gimme" utilizes the ARP Odyssey. I don't know which specific tones are on any of those. While Googling, I did come across news of a ReFill that someone made after playing a GX-1. I'm not sure where to get it, anymore, but I don't think I can buy anything right now.
To top it off, I still only have Reason 3. I have a lot of ReFills, and it would be nice to know specific patch/tone/instrument names so that I don't have to play through everything to find a sound that might work. And I'd hate to pick something that may have been created after the band stopped making music. If someone could point me in the right direction of some leads or pads or whatever that may've been used in ABBA songs or that sound like they are from that era of music, it would be greatly appreciated. If you know your ABBA songs or want to listen online, the song I'm composing might have two versions: one fun and uptempo like "When All is Said and Done" and "I Am the City" and one like "One of Us" and "Should I Laugh or Cry." So, if you know the names of anything used in those songs, it would be helpful.
Thank you!

Road Maintenance Program
The Funding Timeline
In the mid-1980's, the City ceased General Fund support for road programs in response to budget problems, relying primarily upon available State gas tax and TDA funds. As a result, the road maintenance backlog grew to $2 million by 1993.
In 1994, Council considered Road Maintenance Assessments to raise funds but that effort failed.
Council then commissioned a Citizen's Blue Ribbon Committee on Road Maintenance to reassess needs. The Committee validated a $5 million backlog and recommended phased correction with funding provided by property assessments.
In 1996, Council again initiated proceedings for Road Maintenance Assessments but ultimately rejected enactment of the assessments to allow a vote on a Citywide sales tax as an alternative fund source.
A sales tax measure was placed on the June 1998 ballot but failed.
The City Council again placed a sales tax initiative on the March 2000 ballot to address a backlog that had grown to $9.9 million.
In March 2000, Woodland voters overwhelmingly approved a local, six year, 1/2 cent sales tax measure (MeasureH) and several advisory measures on how the money was spent. The top vote getter (80%) was Advisory Measure E which said that $10 million in additional revenues should go towards the road maintenance backlog.
What Happens Now?Over the six year period, 2000-2006, the City will undertake a major street rehabilitation program. While this will necessarily cause a lot of disrupion as streets are closed for repair, the finished product should give us at least 20 years of use on those road segments with minimal additional impacts. We will be coordinating as much concurrent underground utility work as possible to minimize the need to later dig up a newly paved street to replace a water or sewer line.
Our big issue when this is all done will be to ensure our annual maintenance needs are funded so this cycle doesn't repeat itself. Most of the state has imposed local assessments or sales taxes for ongoing maintenance needs. The City of Woodland must deal with this issue in the next several years.
The Value of a Road System
A road system, like any capital investment, must be maintained in a timely manner to minimize the life cycle costs and extract the maximum long-term benefit from the investment. A well-maintained road system is crucial to an effective commercial delivery system and the economic vitality of a community. Poorly maintained streets cause damage to vehicles increasing vehicle maintenance and repair costs. If roads are left too long without proper maintenance and timely overlays, they must be completely reconstructed at a much higher cost. Eventually this can have a negative effect on property values.
Road System Facts
- The road system is Woodland's single largest asset with a replacement cost of approximately $74,000,000.
- Our road system serves approximately 350,000 vehicle miles of travel per day.
- Our 1999 pavement report showed the City has 156 miles of road of which 7 miles needed to be reconstructed and 15 miles needed to be overlaid. The pavement repair backlog was $9.9 million.
What is the Current Road Maintenance Program?
The tracking and evaluation of the condition of our road system is accomplished through a computerized pavement management system (PMS) which is determined by a pavement rating performed by visual inspection. The PMS provides a systematic approach to managing pavements in the most cost-effective manner. The PMS program provides an inventory of roads, pavement condition data, pavement performance history, conceptual designs with life cycle cost evaluation, and prioritization and optimization methodologies. Coupled with sound engineering judgment and management practices, the PMS will identify what work needs to be done to provide the most cost-effective management of the road system pavements.
The City of Woodland's road maintenance program includes both an in-house function and contract component. Our in-house street maintenance program includes base failure repair, crack sealing, patch paving, and seal coats. Road overlays and reconstruction projects are contracted out through a competitive bidding process.
Preventive maintenance and overlays provide the maximum benefit and therfore will generally have first priority for use of available funds. This type of work will prevent or defer the more extensive and expensive reconstrction, which is neccessary when the pavement and base material have failed due to lack of maintenance. Due to declining funding, the backlog of road maintenance requirements grew to almost $10 million in 10 years.
Pavement Maintenance and Rehabilitation Requirements
The annual Pavement Maintenance Program is designed to maximize the useful life of our roadway system pavements at minimum life-cycle costs. The annual cost of ownership is derived by annualizing the costs of the pavement mantenance program. Currently, the anual cost of ownership for our road system is estimated at approximately $2.1 million.
Historically, there have been three non-City sources that are used for funding of the pavement management program.
- State Transportation Development (TDA) Revenues
- Federal Transportation Funding (ISTEA/TEA21)
- State Treansportation Improvement Program (STIP) funds
The projected annual total funding available from these sources is $0.9 million. (We receive another $900,000 in gas tax revenue, however, it is used for street lights, traffic signals, alley maintenance, and signs and markings.) This revenue is insufficient to cover the annual cost of ownership. Additionally, there are certain requirements placed on the use of state and federal funding programs that restrict its use to overlay and reconstruction projects. In order to protect its investment in the road system, the City must repair the backlog of overlay and reconstruction work that was built up during the 90's and properly fund the annual "cost of ownership" so that another backlog doesn't develop.
Measure H Road Maintenance Projects
The following documents outline the projected road maintenance projects related to Measure H.

Rick Hawn looks to bring it in Bellator title boutElias Cepeda at Cagewriter19 hrs ago
Bellator fighter Rick Hawn became a seasoned competitor long ago. The Judo player has competed on national and international levels since he was a child.
That's probably why the fighter is able to be so fiery in the ring but cool as chilled steel just a few days before fighting for a major championship. Cagewriter is visiting with Hawn as he heads into an April 18 fight against Douglas Lima for the vacant Bellator welterweight title, and he's calm and unhurried as we pester him with technical questions about the differences between Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Hawn is also relaxed as he talks about taking on Lima but admits that winning the Bellator title would be a major accomplishment. "It would mean a lot," he says.
Hawn is well-acquainted with desire. His dad had studied Judo before Rick was born and got his son into class early on.
By the time Hawn was 12, he had a specific goal in Judo - make the U.S. Olympic team. It was an unusual amount of certainty and commitment for a 12 year-old.
Douglas Lima looks to bring Bellator title homeElias Cepeda at Cagewriter20 hrs ago
Since losing a decision to Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren in 2012, Douglas Lima has won four straight fights via KO or TKO and has earned another crack at the title. He'll get it tonight in Council Bluffs, Iowa in the main event of Bellator 117.
Lima will get another shot at Bellator gold tonight but won't get a chance at revenge with Askren. Though Askren never lost his belt, he was released by the promotion and allowed to walk away.
Now, the belt is vacant and Lima will take on Rick Hawn, who is also on a red-hot four win fight streak. The Brazilian admits that he hoped to be able to face Askren for the belt.
"It is a little bit of a let down, yeah," he tells Cagewriter.
"Anytime you have a loss like that you want to try and get even."
UFC newcomer Alex White's miraculous lifeElias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day ago
Last summer at a media luncheon, a reporter sarcastically asked UFC president Dana White how it could be true that fight sports like boxing and MMA helped individuals make better lives for themselves. White, no bleeding heart, was trying to make a point about how many people had used the discipline of training and professional opportunities of competing in fight sports to turn their lives around.
"You can't tell me punching saves lives!" the reporter was quoted as saying, incredulously.
The crass writer could not have seen through his own snark to realize how ignorant his comments made him look. The point doesn't need much arguing but, suffice to say, that, with the abundance of studies showing the positive psychological, physical and social effects of competitive sports as well as seemingly endless anecdotal tales of fighter after fighter pulling themselves and their families out of real violence and poverty, to say nothing of a common sense understanding that any type of disciplined work, including that found in gyms across the world, is character-building, the writer proved himself to be a poorly read and out of touch reporter of a singular variety.
Dana White calls for 'Minotauro' Nogueira to retireElias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day ago
Legendary former heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira suffered yet another traumatic loss April 11 when he was knocked out in the first round by Roy Nelson. After nearly fifteen years, forty three professional fights and numerous ring wars, UFC president Dana White believes that it is time for Nogueira to retire.
"As soon as he got knocked out I was getting blown up by media guys saying, 'What do you want to do? So, out of respect for Nogueira I didn't want to say anything until he said something publicly. Then he came out and said he wants to fight Frank Mir. I don't want to see Nogueira fight ever again. He should retire," White said in a media scrum last night after the TUF: Nations Finale card.
Dana White confident Gina Carano wants to fightElias Cepeda at Cagewriter1 day ago
Dana White and Gina Carano did recently meet to discuss bringing the former Strikeforce champion into the UFC for her first fight since 2009 and, according to the UFC President, the meeting went well. Carano does not have a deal to fight anyone yet but White was optimistic when he spoke with Fox Sports last night after the TUF: Nations Finale card.
"Gina and I had a good meeting. I'm very confident that she does want to come back and she does want to fight. We do not have a deal but, umm, we might," White said.
Tim Kennedy wins decision over Michael BispingElias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days ago
Tim Kennedy got the last word in his feud with Michael Bisping with a unanimous decision win in the TUF: Nations Finale Wednesday night. Scores were 49-46 (twice) and 50-45 in favor of Kennedy, who moved into the top five of the middleweight division with this, his third UFC win.
Kennedy used a persistent grappling attack to best Bisping over five rounds. The former Army Ranger sniper controlled the fight with multiple take downs and dominant positions repeatedly achieved on the ground.
Per usual, Bisping proved resiliant and used his excellent conditioning to fight until the end. Bisping's toughness and sharp striking on the feet, however, were not enough to keep Kennedy off of him and prevent him from controlling him in the clinch and on the ground.
The win is Kennedy's fourth straight. Bisping, who was returning after nearly a year lay-off because of serious eye injuries, has now lost two out of his last three fights and three out of his last five.

Michael Bisping on Tim Kennedy - 'He's an idiot.'Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days ago
Though he's fought professionally since 2001, middleweight Tim Kennedy is a relative newcomer to the UFC. On the other hand, his TUF: Nations Finale main event opponent tonight, Michael Bisping, is a seasoned veteran of the world's top MMA promotion.
The outspoken British star is not only confident in his own ability to get the win against Kennedy, he also believes that his opponent lacks professionalism, all-around. "Fighters should behave accordingly, because we're not court jesters. We're not kids working on a school project. We're professional athletes, and this guy is kind of cheapening the whole thing," Bisping said of the wise-cracking and often silly Kennedy in a recent interview with Steph Daniels.
UFC's Tim Kennedy - 'I will never break.'Elias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days ago
Michael Bisping has said a lot of bad things about and to Tim Kennedy. As the former Army Ranger readies to face Bisping tonight in the main event of the TUF: Nations Finale, he isn't sweating the negativity too much, though.
"No not at all. we are never going to be best friends, best buds, holding hands running through the fields together," Kennedy joked during a recent interview on the Fighting Words podcast with Ray Flores.
"I really don't care. He is a jerk at all times... I don't respect the guy, I think he's dirty fighter so I don't respect him as a person. I just don't care what he says. There is nothing that he does and says that I care about."
[VIDEOS] TUF: Nations Finale fighters weigh inElias Cepeda at Cagewriter2 days ago
All fighters on tonight's TUF: Nations Finale weighed in Tuesday. Not to spoil too much for you all but there are at least a few can't-miss moments from the weigh ins (video below).
Ryan Jimmo vs. Sean O'Connell shared a tender moment, Dustin Poirier and Akira Corassani went the opposite direction and Michael Bisping lost his gosh darn mind for the second day in a row when faced with his main event opponent, Tim Kennedy. Now, as they say, all that is left are the fights.
Oh, you're interested in what Bisping and Kennedy were saying to one another, were you, you curious lil' bugger? Well, go ahead then and check out the NSFW alternate video below that has both men mic'd up.

Vitor Belfort 'embarrassed' by TUF: Brazil brawlElias Cepeda at Cagewriter3 days ago
Only someone as wonderfully strange and adept at grabbing attention as Vitor Belfort could make the TUF: Brazil set brawl between Wanderlei Silva and Chael Sonnen about himself. The former champ has nothing to do with the feud and fight between Silva and Sonnen but he still has strong, pious, feelings about the whole ordeal.
"The cat fight between Silva and Sonnen embarrassed me," Belfort wrote on his Facebook page in Portuguese, according to a report from MMA Junkie.
"Firstly, MMA is not fighting people not prepared inside the Octagon," he went on.

I launched our new website entirely built on Ruby on Rails just a few weeks ago and want to make sure I can keep a close eye on our 4 production servers. I figured what better way then a bunch of led displays.
I'm not one to blog or even explain things very well, but I tried with the help of some photos here: http://www.82smugglers.com/blog/?p=7
For the most part this was put together just for fun, and now is pretty much eye candy as a week or two of getting to know rails in production mode had enabled me to tweak the servers to where they are fairly solid. (And I have god watching over my mongrels)
And for a question, does anyone know how to get easy stats out of rails or mongrel? I know I could write something to parse the logs, but that may take some resources doing it every 30 seconds to a minute.
I don't know about stats, but if you just want an easy way to keep an eye on traffic/load/errors/etc., "gl_tail.rb":http://www.fudgie.org is a pretty effective live visualization tool. I've used it before, and it really doesn't seem to make much of a performance impact on the server.

Cutting and Lighting
The best way to cut and light your cigar.
The Editors
From the Print Edition:
Dennis Hopper, Jan/Feb 01
(continued from page 1)
When using a single-bladed guillotine, the cigar should be placed on the far side of the opening, as far from the blade as possible. The blade should then be brought through the cigar swiftly, removing the cap in one fluid stroke. (Picture a real guillotine: if you have to keep cutting over and over again, you'll be left with a hacked-up severed head and an aghast group of onlookers. You may even wind up on the block next, yourself.) Using the cutter in any other manner may cause the cigar to be pinched before it is cut, damaging and often ruining the wrapper.
It's also important to ensure that the compartment sheathing the blade is kept free of loose tobacco. These compartments can clog easily, jamming the cutter and compromising its effectiveness.
Double-bladed guillotines have an advantage over the single-bladed variety in that the cigar is cut simultaneously on both sides, giving a smooth, clean cut without the risk of pinching the cigar. Again, the best method is to position the cigar close to one of the two blades before cutting.
While cigar scissors can provide exceptionally clean cuts and are some of the most elegant cigar tools available, they must be used with caution. Just as each baseball player uses a bat that's weighted to his preference, a cigar scissor must conform to each individual smoker's hand. If the weight of the tool isn't right and the device doesn't feel natural in your hand, you will act like a brain surgeon wearing mittens -- clumsy. Therefore, it is important to test a pair of scissors before you buy them; if the handles and blades don't feel balanced or the scissors feel awkward in your hand, consider another pair. The most beautiful cutting tool in the world is useless if it renders your cigar a pile of shredded tobacco leaves.
It's a smart investment for any cigar smoker to own a quality cutter. A bad cut will destroy a cigar, and ruined cigars very quickly add up to the price of even the finest cutter.
Believe it or not, this is not as simple as it seems. Lighting cigars is not like lighting a cigarette or candle -- it takes patience to achieve the perfect light. Lighting a cigar can best be likened to roasting marshmallows over a campfire: keep the cigar just above the flame, being careful not to let the two touch. Lighting the cigar directly in the flame will carbonize the tobacco, harming the flavor. Also, as with a marshmallow, it's a good idea to rotate the cigar to ensure that all sides are heated evenly. Most importantly, take your time. Be patient and allow the flame to create a glowing ring around the circumference of the cigar. Once the cigar is lit, gently blow on the embers to create a smooth, rounded ash.
Now you're ready to take your first puff. But how do you do it? Many cigar smokers blow the first puff outward through the cigar, to rid the cigar of any sulfuric or gaseous flavors that may have been created by the match or lighter. But never, ever give a cigar more than one outward puff.
Many cigar purists consider it an abomination to ever have to relight a cigar. But when you pay more attention to your conversation than to the cigar you're smoking, the need will sometimes arise. Relighting a cigar is fine if done soon after it goes out, and a warm cigar should be easier to light than a fresh one. Do not, however, relight a cigar the next day, or even several hours after first smoking. This will result in some truly unsavory flavors that will, in all likelihood, make you regret relighting the cigar.

The 19-unit PCI Early Childhood Curriculum , developed by kindergarten teacher Brenda Burdine Thornton, includes a full year of active learning ideas and reproducible activities. Based upon the...
Each unit is centered around a one- or two-week theme that incorporates important beginning reading, writing, math, science, and social studies skills. Objectives, preparation tips, daily lesson plans, learning center ideas, patterns for "hands-on" games, and hundreds of reproducible paper-pencil activities are included in each book.
How the Curriculum Works
The program offers a structured daily routine that both new and experienced early childhood and kindergarten teachers will find easy to implement. Students learn to manage their own time, as they move from whole-class discussion to small-group lessons to independent practice.
Large Group Discussion
At the beginning of each day, the teacher reads a recommended story related to the theme, which is followed by a lesson. Next, students participate in an interactive discussion.
Table Activities
Students work at their own pace to complete simple paper-pencil, coloring, manipulative, and cut-and-paste assignments.
Small-Group Lesson
The teacher meets with various groups of 4-5 children to reinforce that day's lesson and basic academic skills.
Ticket Activities
'Hands-on' game ideas in each unit develop skills in three areas: language, math, and visual and fine motor. Children are encouraged to earn one ticket in each area per day before they explore the learning centers.
Center Activities
Twelve learning centers are described in the curriculum. Lists of general and unit-specific materials for each center are included in each book.
The entire class gathers to review the day's lesson.
This comprehensive program can be purchased as a complete 19-unit curriculum, or individual unit books can be ordered separately.
Unit Titles:
School Rules
Nursery Rhymes
Going To The Fair
I'm Me! I'm Special!
Five Senses
Fire Prevention
Forest Animals
U.S. Presidents
State Book (selected states)
To complement the 19 thematic units in the PCI Early Childhood Curriculum, state books are currently being developed. Each state book contains two weeks of structured lessons that teach young children basic information about their state.

George was my first in-person acquaintance when I arrived at the University of Nevada in January of 1945. He and I were roommates for a short time at Lincoln Hall and we were both on basketball scholarships. Unbeknownst to us at the time was that we were also slated for spring football practice under coach Jim Aiken. When it came time for us to leave the university at the end of the semester, we were pretty sure we would never see each other again.
Since George was from Tonopah and I was from Florida, we were drafted into widely separated parts of the U.S. Infantry. It was unlikely that our paths would cross. Following basic training, I was scheduled to go to the European theater but upon joining the regular Army for a one-year stint, I was given a month's leave and reassigned to the Pacific theater.
I arrived at Pusan, Korea and spent the first month or two walking guard duty. When a call went out for a typist to serve as company clerk for the headquarters on our base, I was quick to volunteer. At the HQ post, I was privy to many unique opportunities, which included the key to the camp gymnasium and the ability to form a base basketball team.
Several of the members of the squad that I can recall include Jim Gremmels, Steve Grundy and the fellow who was to become the most famous Clark County Sheriff, Ralph Lamb.
After we had been playing for a couple of weeks, I was coming out of the post PX when, of all persons, I bumped into George Vucanovich. When I asked him what he was doing, he said he had the best job in the Army. I asked him what that was and he replied that he was an MP. In turn, he noticed my stripes and inquired as to my position. I responded that I might have a job which was superior to his. When asked what that was, I told him I was the Intelligence sergeant for the Battalion. In addition, I was able to man the S-2 desk since there was no S-2 Lieutenant available. George asked me if there were any other vacancies at headquarters. I told him the S-3 sergeant was going home in a few weeks and that he should apply for the job. He asked me what he would have to do in that position and I responded that it was mainly to set the schedules for guard duty. He applied for the job, got it and joined our basketball team. So once again we were reunited on the court.
On the ship returning home, George and I were bunk mates and the two of us were responsible for putting out the ship's daily paper. We both returned to the university in 1947 and completed our basketball careers playing in the Reno City League for Rissone's Service Station.

The Las Vegas Sun reports the Paradise Town Advisory Board this week turned down an application from record producer Jamal Rashid to keep two serval cats and a capuchin monkey on his three-acre property.
Rashid has held a permit for keeping the animals, but neighbors told board members they feared for their safety after two recent escapes.
Servals are native to Africa and can weigh up to 40 pounds. They have the facial features of a domestic cat and spots like a cheetah. Rashid's employees said the animals are declawed.
The application now awaits review from county planning commissioners.

text: When the red-band trailer forYour Highness, featuring Natalie Portman's bare butt in a skimpier-than-thou bikini, debuted online, the Medieval stoner comedy (also starring James Franco and Danny McBride) instantly became our most anticipated film of 2011. Over the years, we've watched the staggeringly beautiful Portman mature from an intergalactic space queen into one of Hollywood's most talented dramatic actresses, an arc that will reach its apex when Portman walks away with this year's Best Actress Oscar for her shattering performance in the ballet thriller Black Swan (she's already won this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Actress). But don't think that means the Harvard graduate will start taking herself too seriously. Not only is she starring in next summer's superhero epic Thor, but Portman's currently shopping a script she wrote called BYO, which is being described as a female version of Superbad, in which Portman and a female co-star will get drunk and hook up with dudes. Um, we're, like, so there. Read more about Natalie Portman

Fulham 1
Petric (pen, 10mins)
City 2
Aguero (43mins), Dzeko (86mins)
- Matchday centre
- Match reports
- 29 September 2012 17:05
- Posted by Chris Bailey
Six games into the campaign and the Blues are bang on track to retain the title!
It's not just Roberto Mancini's pre-match words that are comforting City fans but also the points gained from the half dozen EPL outings so far this term.
The defending champions have harvested the same number exactly as they did from the corresponding contests on the way to making history in May.
This season's first maximum haul on the road came at a place where the Blues dropped points for the first time in 2011-12 and although City left it late there was no doubt that they deserved the spoils.
Edin Dzeko was the hero smashing home the winner just four minutes from time after coming on as late substitute.
Earlier Sergio Aguero had snaffled up an equaliser as the Blues yet again surrendered the first goal on their travels.
Mind you they had good cause to be aggrieved at Fulham's opener which came courtesy of a phantom penalty.
Mark Halsey's award, which baffled everyone and no one more so than the perpetrator Pablo Zabaleta, changed the tone of the game
...Fulham 1 City 2...
The sport kick came in the ninth minute when John Arne Riise went down outside the box without being touched. Mladen Petric slammed home the award to put the home side in front.
For a spell City looked bewildered and never really got into their stride. That all changed in the closing ten minutes of the half following a spell of sustained pressure.
Mark Schwarzer saved well from David Silva and then again on the line in a goalmouth scramble; Aguero headed wide from a promising position and the Blues might have had a penalty when Riise pulled Tevez around the shoulder.
Fulham, though, could only hold out for so long and they conceded their first home goal of the season in the 43rd minute when Tevez' shot was deflected goalwards by David Silva. Schwarzer made a fine, low one-handed save Aguero was lurking with intent and gleefully prodded home.
The second half belonged to the Blues in terms of territory but they had to wait until the dying minutes for super sub Edin Dzeko to come off the bench and notch the winner. It was the sixth time he has come on as a replacement and scored since the start of last season – a Premier League record.
And the strike brought much relief to the City camp after four games without a win in all competitions
...Fulham 1 City 2...
Roberto Mancini started Argentine stars Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez up front together for only the ninth time – the previous eight had all ended in victory and produced 24 goals and now it is nine.
There was no tinkering with the formation in west London with Gareth Barry and Javier Garcia guarding a recently maligned back four in which Matija Nastasic featured in place of England's Joleon Lescott.
It worked! City extended their unbeaten run against Fulham to seven and kept the Blues in thick of the leading pack.

UCLA and UNAM act to implement cooperative agreement signed last November by Chancellor Albert Carnesale and UNAM Rector Juan Ramón de la Fuente.
UCLA and Mexico's premier university, the Universidad Autónoma de México (UNAM), acted at the end of December to take the first steps to implement the Memorandum of Understanding they signed last November 12. UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale, a signatory to the November memorandum, on December 27 announced the appointment of UCLA's representatives to the Joint Advisory Committee specified by the agreement.
They are Geoffrey Garrett, Vice Provost, UCLA International Institute; Fernando Torres-Gil, Associate Dean, School of Public Policy and Social Research; and John Sandbrook, Assistant Provost, College of Letters and Science. Committee members from UNAM are Mónica Verea, Director of Inter-Institutional Relations; Guillermo Pulido, Director of the School for Foreign Students; José Luis Valdés, Director, North American Studies Center; and Mario Melgar Adalid, Director, UNAM–San Antonio Campus.
The November 12 signing took place in a ceremony held at the Dashew International Center for Students and Scholars. UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale and UNAM Rector Juan Ramón de la Fuente signed the document and in brief remarks expressed their enthusiasm for the development of cooperative projects. Specifically, the parties have agreed "to explore avenues for extending existing collaboration and cultural and scientific exchanges between the two universities." Ambassador Martha I. Lara, Consul General of Mexico in Los Angeles, attended that event and thanked the organizers responsible for their leadership and commitment to the furthering the United States–Mexico relationship.
The UCLA-UNAM formal agreement is the outcome of a long history of collaboration and in particular the leadership of James W. Wilkie, Professor of History and Chair of the Latin American Center's Program on Mexico, in coordinating bilateral research and publishing projects involving students and faculty from the two institutions.
The next step is to establish a General Collaboration Agreement, a more comprehensive document that will serve as the framework for the further development of academic relations between the two institutions, and between individual academic units or programs.

Chairman Lincoln Introduces Child Nutrition Reauthorization Legislation
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. (March 17, 2010) – US Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) has officially launched Congressional efforts to reauthorize the Child Nutrition Act, which reaches over 31 million American children participating in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs each day. Today, Chairman Lincoln introduced the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, a draft reauthorization bill which offers a strong first step toward strengthening these programs and acknowledges the need to increase funding for school meals.
"School Nutrition Association greatly appreciates the efforts of Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Lincoln to promote good nutrition for America's school children and looks forward to working with members of the Committee throughout the Reauthorization process to ensure the critical needs of school meals programs are met," stated SNA President Dora Rivas, MS, RD, SNS and Executive Director of Child Nutrition Services for Dallas ISD (Tex.). "Despite extremely limited budgets, school nutrition programs provide students well-balanced meals and are seeking crucial funding increases to further improve meal programs and include more fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy products and whole grains." The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act includes many critical improvements to the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs which SNA has advocated for, including:
While the legislation would boost funding for the federal child nutrition programs by $450 million per year, including a performance-based 6 cent increase in the federal reimbursement rate for school lunches, additional efforts are needed to reach the $1 billion per year increase requested by President Barack Obama.
For additional information SNA's legislative priorities for Child Nutrition Reauthorization 2010, please see SNA's 2010 Legislative Issue Paper.
SNA is a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than 53,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. The Association and its members are dedicated to feeding children safe and nutritious meals. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.

SNA Announces Four New "DISTRICTS OF EXCELLENCE"
NATIONAL HARBOR, MD (March 17, 2010) The School Nutrition Association and the School Nutrition Foundation announced that Dallas Independent School District in Dallas, Texas, Polk County Public Schools in Bartow, Florida, Willamina School District in Willamina, Oregon, and El Paso Independent School District in El Paso, Texas have received the District of Excellence in School Nutrition distinction.
District of Excellence is based on the Keys to Excellence, which provides an opportunity for school districts to assess their program against the industry's standards and has been a core component of SNA's professional development and training programs since 1992.
"This designation from the School Nutrition Association is a great honor because it recognizes the dedication and excellence of local school food and nutrition operations and the tremendous effort they take to make school meals attractive, nutritious, and affordable. These four school districts have achieved quality school nutrition programs and we congratulate them on their accomplishments and their commitment to excellence in school food and nutrition management," said SNA Executive Director Barbara Belmont.
District of Excellence recipients may also be invited to apply for the prestigious District of the Year Award which includes a grant of up to $25,000.

Horrible Customer Service and Dingy Hotel – The staff was rude. We arrived at 12pm and told the girl at the front desk that we were here to check in. She said, "no you're not. Everyone is checking out late today so you can come back at 3:30." The entire hotel had a very musty smell and it felt dingy. I would not recommend coming here ever. Anytime I had a question for the front desk they were extremely rude and I even overheard a guest asking a simple question and getting the same horrible attitude by the staff.

China's industrial production report was a disappointment, and this strategist has a way to play it.
As if a $2 billion loss by a major bank and swollen oil inventories weren't enough to dampen investors' spirits, China had to come along and report the lowest industrial output in three years. Todd Gordon, co-head of research and trading at Aspen Trading Group, has a plan for trading on investors' gloom.
"I'm short the market," he told CNBC's Scott Wapner. "I think that means you want to be long dollars in the FX market."
Gordon recommends buying dollars against the oil-producing Norway's krone.
He suggests waiting for a pullback, then entering the trade at 5.8400 with a stop at 5.8000 and a target of 5.9000.
How can you judge whether this will work?
"Watch the 1365 market level on the S&P," says Gordon, a technical strategist. "That is going to spell that dollar pushing higher if 1365 holds."

Business Journal Daily (Ohio) - Building Tradesmen Arrive at V&M Project
[DISTRICT MENTIONED: Tim Ryan (OH-17)]
Some 70 union members in the building trades are busy preparing the foundation for V&M Star's new $650 million plant in Youngstown, and the site could see as many as 250 skilled workmen there by next spring, says the president of the Western Reserve Building and Construction Trades Council.
'At peak, we are expecting close to 500 construction jobs' throughout the 18-month building process [said Don Crane, President of Council of 13 crafts unions].
'At high point, with major construction, I'd say 250 to 300 [members of the building trades, such as] electricians, pipe fitters, millwrights and ironworkers will be working at the site by next spring as new machinery is set in,' Crane elaborated.
The project received $19 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds toward offsetting costs for the project. 'Ted made those V&M jobs a reality,' Crane said. Once work on the plant is finished, it's expected to employ 350 full-time workers. [9/27/10]

SOURCE Carnival Cruise Lines
MIAMI, Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Lines set a one-month reservations record, taking net bookings (new reservations minus cancellations) for more than 565,000 guests between January 1 and January 31, 2014. The record number of reservations was 17 percent higher than the same one-month period a year ago. Additionally, traffic to the cruise line's web site www.carnival.com also reached an all-time high with 13 million visits during the one-month period.
Bookings were at unprecedented levels across the line's 24-ship fleet, which operates three- to 23-day voyages from a wide range of convenient North American homeports as well as cruises from Australia.
Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill attributed the record booking activity to a number of factors, including continued product enhancements and innovations being introduced across the Carnival fleet, very attractive promotions in the marketplace, strong support from travel agent partners, and a new "Moments that Matter" advertising campaign launched last fall, which is currently in heavy rotation in broadcast and digital channels. Cahill also cited increasing recognition among consumers that Carnival cruises provide a truly exceptional vacation value.
"Now is the time of year when many people focus on their upcoming vacation plans and the cruise industry typically sees an escalation in booking activity. We are definitely observing a strong uptick in reservations with bookings coming in at unprecedented levels," said Cahill. "We are seeing heavy sales growth in all channels, particularly via our travel agent partners, and we would like to express our tremendous appreciation for their support," he added. Cahill also pointed out that Carnival did not introduce any new ships in 2013 so added capacity would not account for the stronger booking activity. "More than anything, I believe consumers are increasingly recognizing that, when it comes to an exceptional vacation experience at a great value, Carnival easily comes out on top."
Among the new initiatives introduced over past several months are a one-of-kind vacation guarantee that gives consumers the option of ending their voyage early and flying home at Carnival's expense if they are dissatisfied for any reason, a comprehensive revamp of the line's main dining room offerings, and a fun and exciting partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises to enhance the activities programming for Carnival's youngest guests. Last month, the line announced an enhancement to its live music offerings through upgraded house bands and the Carnival LIVE concert series which features performances by many of today's top artists including Jennifer Hudson, Gavin DeGraw, Lady Antebellum, Olivia Newton-John, Daughtry, Styx, Martina McBride, Jewel and many others.
Additionally, the line has continued to roll out its $500 million Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement program across the fleet, which includes a variety of hugely popular new dining, bar and entertainment upgrades. In 2014, a total of 11 Carnival ships will feature major Fun Ship 2.0 enhancements, including vessels that sail from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston.

SOURCE Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics
VIENNA, Va., Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- First dates bring excitement, anticipation, a few nervous butterflies – maybe even a first kiss – but for people with food allergies, date planning requires more than deciding when to meet or what to wear.
"Since dating so often revolves around eating, it's important that people with food allergies take a proactive approach," says Tonya Winders, president and CEO of Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA), a leading patient education nonprofit organization.
Preparation includes working with a board-certified allergist to identify and avoid food allergens, says James J. Herman, MD, an allergist from Lubbock, Texas and chairman of the Anaphylaxis, Food and Insect Allergy Committee with the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI).
"Symptoms can appear within minutes to several hours after ingestion and may include itchiness or swelling in the mouth, hives, nausea, coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath," Dr. Herman says. "You need to know symptoms of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction, and you should always carry two epinephrine auto-injectors, the first line of treatment for anaphylaxis."
"If you're confident about your diagnosis and understand how to manage your condition," Winders adds, "then you'll feel more comfortable going on a date."
AANMA offers these first-date tips:
AANMA explores dating with allergies and asthma in the spring issue of Allergy & Asthma Today, a quarterly magazine available in February (http://www.aanma.org/publication).

The oppressive and bloody reign of Myanmar's rulers for the past 50 years means there's quite a lot of un-defining to be done. The president noted the nation has taken dramatic steps in a positive direction. "When I took office as president, I sent a message to those governments who ruled by fear: we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your first," Obama said during his tour of Asia that besides Myanmar has included stops in Thailand and Cambodia. "So today, I have come to keep my promise, and extend the hand of friendship."
Despite Myanmar's recent progress, notes Human Rights Watch, "hundreds of political prisoners remain, ethnic civil war and inter-ethnic conflict has escalated, and Burmese security forces continue to use forced labor and commit extrajudicial killings, sexual violence and indiscriminate attacks on civilians, among other abuses."
The courageous Aung San Suu Kyi, the inspirational leader and longtime enemy of Myanmar's ruling junta who saw her freedom limited by living almost 20 years under house arrest, met Monday with Obama. Her remarks afterward were tinged with caution, a feeling no doubt justified by her own lengthy imprisonment. "The most difficult time in any transition is when we think that success is in sight," Suu Kyi said. "We have to be very careful that we're not lured by the mirage of success."
Writing in Foreign Policy magazine ahead of Obama's visit, Joshua Kurlantzick heaved a bucket of cold water on excitement over Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Yes, he wrote, the country's new president, Thein Sein, is leading a reform movement, but no one should expect instant miracles.
"In part because of the legacy of war and government mismanagement, more than 50 percent of Myanmar still lacks basic physical infrastructure — electricity, usable roads, and rails — of the kind that were taken for granted by investors coming into China and Vietnam, or other Asian tigers like Malaysia and Thailand," Kurlantzick writes.
Accepting the basic truth here, what's a U.S. president to do? Nurture the hopeful seed of democracy? Or stay quiet until we can inspect the quality of the fruit produced by that seed?
Obama's remarks this week indicate he has taken the first option, praise the loosening of strict rule while calling for more reform. In fact, his remarks are worth noting, both abroad and here at home, where the upcoming holiday season, fighting in the Middle East and domestic politics have claimed much of the spotlight this week.
"Over the last several decades, our two countries became strangers," Obama said in his speech in Myanmar. "But today, I can tell you that we always remained hopeful about the people of this country, about you. You gave us hope and we bore witness to your courage."
He continued, "So as extraordinary and difficult and challenging and sometimes frustrating as this journey may seem, in the end, you, the citizens of this country, are the ones who must define what freedom means. You're the ones who are going to have to seize freedom, because a true revolution of the spirit begins in each of our hearts."
