City: Hesed House will get crosswalk after crash
By Stephanie Lulay email@example.com December 24, 2012 10:58AM
Executive Director Ryan Dowd of Hesed House in Aurora.
Updated: January 26, 2013 6:11AM
AURORA — On the heels of a car crash that injured a 5-year-old homeless girl, the city will install a crosswalk on River Street between two Hesed House buildings.
The crash occurred at 5:48 p.m. Dec. 11 when the girl dashed out into the middle of the roadway, running in front of a SUV that was southbound on River Street.
She was struck by the vehicle and taken to a local hospital, where she was treated and released, Hesed House Executive Director Ryan Dowd said.
No citations were issued in the crash, according to police.
The 5-year-old was leaving an after-school program to go to the homeless shelter for the night.
Crosswalk delay
Dowd said he has attempted to get a crosswalk installed on River Street since this summer. Hesed House's new Comprehensive Resource Center building and the shelter building are on opposite sides of River Street.
According to city spokesman Dan Ferrelli, a request was made by Hesed House for the installation of a crosswalk between its two facilities this summer. City staff reviewed and approved the request.
Dowd said that he received approval from the city's Government Operations Committee to install the crosswalk this summer.
The committee approved the request pending approval by Alderman Rick Lawrence, 4th Ward, Ferrelli said.
State law mandates that new crosswalks be ADA accessible, which requires the existing curb to be cut out and new concrete to be poured, Ferrelli said.
Dowd called Lawrence with the request to use aldermanic funds to put in curb cuts. Hesed House is in the 4th Ward.
Ward funds
Ferrelli said that a curb cutting project typically costs about $1,500, but could cost more in winter months when more concrete is needed.
"Small infrastructure projects, such as these, are typically funded through ward funds," Ferrelli said. Each ward aldermen is allocated $50,000 annually to complete local infrastructure projects.
Lawrence said a crosswalk would not have prevented a car crash at the site. And he said he was not interested in using ward money to fund the project.
"Usually for any private place, Hesed House is a private place, for something like that they should pay for it or get someone to donate it themselves," Lawrence said. "I'm not interested in using tax dollars for it."
Ferrelli confirmed Lawrence did not authorize the expenditure of his ward funds for the completion of the improvement.
When the mayor's office found that the ward funds were not authorized to complete the project, it requested that the crosswalk be completed as soon as possible with city funds.
At the time of the request, the 2012 sidewalk program was closed, but now the project has been prioritized to be completed just after Jan. 1 if concrete is available, Ferrelli said.
Lawrence said he would not use ward funds for a Hesed House project because the shelter is a "drain on taxpayers in Aurora."
"If you want to focus on families and children, that's one thing. But having drug addicts and every person with a mental illness mixed in with them is disgusting in and of itself," Lawrence said.
"During the day, they tell the rest of Aurora, you handle the drug addicts on your street and it hurts our community."

I, so far, like the Kitchen Witch Cookbook, it's rather basic as far as recipes go but what I am enjoying is the connection to the elements, rituals etc. Fun!
that cookbook is my favorite. i couldnt cook at all. just couldnt get it. the simplicity in the book and the connections are what did it for me. now i make things and they taste good. even stuff that isnt it the book. for some reason the way it was explained in that book make something click for me and now i understand how it works. have more learning to do , but DH likes thhe change, considering he taught me how to cook most of what we eat. that book made me love the kitchen.

In his 13th State of the University address, University of Akron President Luis M. Proenza embraced what he called "disruptive innovations" which are transforming the learning landscape of higher education. In a speech that detailed many significant achievements of the last year, Proenza's theme was clearly stated: "We have done much and we will do much more."
During the speech, UA President Luis Proenza showed this video of students describing their Akron Experiences.
"We must do more because when many students can and do learn almost anything through the Internet, we cannot justify the high cost of tuition," Proenza said. He detailed the rapidly growing industry of "massive open online courses" or MOOC, in which on-line courses taught by prestigious universities are available to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. "This radical disruption to the traditional college model is a fast-moving train on a track that is still being built, to a destination still uncertain."
Proenza advanced a new model in which universities would work collaboratively to develop new learning modules, integrate all available learning resources, and provide assessment and credentialing of learning, regardless of how or where that learning took place. He called it the Integrator Assessor Model. Students could literally "select or design their own learning pathways with timelines that match their unique learning styles and circumstances."
The president noted that this model would be discussed, among others, at the upcoming annual meeting of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities in Colorado.
In embracing the future, Proenza also reassured the audience of faculty, students and community leaders that the "student-faculty relationship will remain at the core of learning" saying there is magic "in the bond between professor and student, between researchers and teachers and learners." That bond is a key factor in enhancing opportunities for UA students.
Proenza described by the distinctive Akron Experience as a Journey to Success that puts each student on a pathway to a lifetime of achievement. During the speech, Proenza showed a video featuring students describing their Akron Experience.
The president also highlighted several of the University's significant accomplishments of the last year in his speech:
"We have created new programs, new partnerships and a magnificent new learning and living environment. We have earned significant recognition and earned the respect of many. Still, if we are to earn our keep, we also must further enhance our relevance, connectivity and productivity. And that means we must seize the moment and innovate our way to prosperity. What is the state of The University of Akron? We have done much. And we are determined to do much more."

Clearing Negative Energy
I would like to get some feedback from others about the energy in homes. I do Energetic house clearings and work a lot with local Realtors who have homes that will not sell, not because they look bad or have bad curb appeal but because the feel bad when people walk in. We rarely have discussions about this topic but I would like to hear from others who have experienced this.
IMHO a building or any other inanimate does not have "energy" - either negative or positive.
But that's just the opinion of this country girl.This message has been edited. Last edited by: KeepYouInStitches,
Does this hat make my butt look big?
I have done some energy clearing in the past, whenever it was needed. (I "saged" our mountain home and property after closing, as the prior owner was a little odd and not much liked by many of the neighbors) My DH, who is much less open to this type of stuff actually said he was glad I did.
I've also helped others use Epson salts and alcohol to burn/clean energy in a place. And it does make a difference in atmosphere to many.
KYI Stitches, have you never walked into a room right after a heated argument between other people, and felt the tension in the room itself? That is probably the best example of room energy I can think of. But it is true that not all people tend to have the same sensitivity to atmosphere.
Not unless the people were still in the room. An empty room? No.
Does this hat make my butt look big?
There was a home we once looked at years ago, back in the early 80's. One of those homes that were not selling, great neighborhood, looked very interesting to us and the price had dropped a lot. Away from the home, it seemed like such a great deal/bargain, but when we were in it...nothing specifically stood out as an issue...but just did not feel comfortable/right. When we finally told our realtor we would NOT be making an offer on it, she sighed with relief & told us the story of the house.
The prior couple went into bankruptcy and were divorcing, the owner before them hung herself in the garage. And another prior owner also had severe financial issues, divorced over it and ended up very ill before selling.
Eventually I talked to new the owner (was at a garage sale at the house). She said they completely cleaned, repainted everything, and remodeled the home and were very happy there. Maybe the house just needed to be loved?
Anyway, perhaps Energy Shifer has a good niche after all.This message has been edited. Last edited by: conrad,
I agree. But I am amazed at how many people do. I have worked on many homes this past year where people were actually sick from the energy in there homes. It takes a long time for them to get up the courage to call. Glad to hear yours were successful.
Of course it does. It has the energy of the people who built it, the tress or metal it came from. It also takes on all of the energy of the people who inhabit it everyday. I have been to some Real Estate clearings where the home stager brought in a object that had very bad energy and once it wad removed, the house sold. I think it is good to broaden your perspective and think of all the people and living things it takes to make a building, the land has it's own energy, the trees, flowers and schubs on the land have their own energy and all the creatures living on the land call that place home before the building is put up. Then we have all the construction workers and their energy and contractors et. Here is a link to a true story about a building we cleared for PDC in Oregon.

So, is this an advertisement?...which is against HGTV rules...
Does this hat make my butt look big?
Agree. Discussion is one thing...advertising a specific business on this site is another.
and advertising a c*ckamammy business is beyond my patience.
Cleaning a home means clearing it from negative energy. This is the most basic step to allow positive energy in your home. Clean the house, remove all the clutter and arrange the furniture.
Sea salt is the most commonly used clearing element by the feng shui. You must mix 5-6 tablespoons of sea salt in a bucket of water and mop the floor with the solution. You must also place a bowl filled with sea salt on the northeast and southwest direction of your house. Which must be replaced every 2 months. -M.C.This message has been edited.

Huh. I usually just walk in and pass a little gas. The room clears in seconds...
Whats amazing to me is that some people actually believe this nonsense.
But JoW...have you been in one of Jim978's rooms after he does what he does?
I try very hard never to pass judgement on others beliefs or personal truths.
I totally believe in this type of thing. I can't really feel the energy myself, or I'm not aware that I'm feeling the energy, but I do believe in it and have read a few feng shui books on the subject. I actually had a feng shui person come and clear the energy in this house not long after we moved in.
I believe that there can be left over negative energy in a house that new homeowners can feel. I have heard similar stories of a death or tragedy that previously happened and the emotions seem to be trapped in the home.
From an interior design stand point, change the lighting with simple small fixtures to make the rooms feel brighter. Add mirrors to bounce the natural sun light through out the room. Find bright colored small accessories to place on tables and counters in the house. Using design tricks to make the room seem more cheery might mask the illusion of any negative energy.
Kitchen Bath Trends
Sherry, I'm with you on this one.
I think much of this so called negative energy is bad paint, dirty carpets, a little mold and a few other goodies thrown in.
Totally agree with you on this one too, Charming. Again, I am not an expert but have read that the correction of the yukkies you mentioned does wonders for clearing negative energy. A house that has been lovingly cared for should have more positive energy in it than a house that is dirty with mold, etc.
ITA with this. I grew up in a home fractured with many scenes and arguments. (not the kids) I could walk into the house after school when no one else was there and tell immediately if there had been a recent scene. No amount of feng shui or whatever would have helped. I hated that house but it wasn't the house itself, given different occupants it could have been fine.
OTOH, I know someone who bought a house that had housed someone who left that house and committed a murder. The energy in that house is just fine.
well I wouldn't say that one would preclude the other. For instance my home was very carefully cleaned, high standards for all chores. In fact such attention may well have attributed to the stress. Sometimes people are simply not personally equipped to meet the high standards they set for themselves.
Here's an example of what I mean. DH used to joke and say we were going to do his type of job, not like my family standard of polishing the nail before we drove it into the wall!
I think your DH nailed it.
Thanks to television and the likes of June Cleaver many women seem to think they are slaves to their homes. The horror stories I've read in this part of the website is down right frightening. I'm exhausted after reading them..This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming,
WOW! I thought my family was odd, but I guess we all do. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Charming,
DH, what are you doing posting here???!!! LOL!
After buying my first house, I found out that someone had died tragically ...but it was his fault...he was cleaning the basement with GASoline and there was a gas furnace there!!!!
I lived there many years and never felt anything 'weird' about it.

FSFE and FFII to Radio Station Winners: "rOGG on"
Radio Free Deutschland: For Document Freedom Day, March 31 2010, a couple of European radio stations were granted awards for using open standards.
The radio stations Deutschlandradio and Radio Orange received the awards from the Free Software Foundation Europe and Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure because they transmitted over the Internet in the Ogg Vorbis media container format. The free Radio Orange 94.0 in Vienna and dradio.de (Deutschlandfunk in Cologne and Deutschlandradio Kultur in Berlin) were honored with the awards (and a cake) the afternoon of March 31 under the slogan "rOGG on!" (see Gallery).
"We feel more honored by this award than by a Grimme Award," said the online editor of Deutschlandradio, Egbert Meyer, at the cake cutting in Berlin. Matthias Kirschner of the FSFE congratulated the radio station for its pioneering role: "Since 2006 anyone with free software can receive the Ogg Vorbis live-streams from Deutschlandradio without a problem." Stephan Uhlmann of the FFII board of directors added, "Document Freedom Day Prize 2010 honors [the radio stations] for doing it right. With nonpatented audio formats they assure their listeners a freer selection of playback devices and software."
The FFII's commitment to open standards is based on their assertion that patented formats often request licensing fees once there is a dependency on them. "When MP3 first became popular, in 1998 Fraunhofer Institute and Thomson began requesting license fees for the audio format with over a dozen patents," the FFII claims. On their website, dradio.de provides its Ogg streams not only in multiple quality levels for the various bandwidths, but also recommends a variety of playback software, including Linux platforms.

As announced by Attorney General Eric Holder at the White House Tribal Nations Conference on November 13, 2013, the Department of Justice will adopt a Statement of Principles to guide and inform all of the Department's interactions with federally recognized Indian tribes. Our Statement of Principles will memorialize the Department of Justice's determination to serve as your partner in fighting crime and enforcing the law in Indian country. We are pleased to invite you to government-to-government consultations with the Department of Justice on our proposed Statement of Principles. View the consultation schedule and registration instructions.
Read the Proposed Statement of Principles
Watch the video "A Turning in the Tide" about Robert F. Kennedy's historic 1963 speech to the National Congress of American Indians and how the Justice Department, under the leadership of Attorney General Eric Holder, is working today more than ever to fulfill its commitment to foster equal justice, safety, partnership and self-government in Native American communities.
On March 7, 2013, President Obama signed into law the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, or "VAWA 2013." VAWA 2013 recognizes tribes' inherent power to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction over certain defendants, regardless of their Indian or non-Indian status, who commit acts of domestic violence or dating violence or violate certain protection orders in Indian country. This new law generally takes effect on March 7, 2015, but also authorizes a voluntary "Pilot Project" to allow certain tribes to begin exercising special jurisdiction sooner. On February 6, 2014 the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona, the Tulalip Tribes of Washington, and the Umatilla Tribes of Oregon Information were selected for this Pilot Project. Information related to the Pilot Project, related consultations, and other resources, may be found on the VAWA Reauthorization 2013 page.
In June 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder launched a Department-wide initiative to enhance public safety in Indian County. Significant progress has been made since then. This document offers highlights of the Department's progress in the following areas: enhanced prosecution and training efforts; implementation of the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 (TLOA); grant opportunities; general litigation; civil rights; and outreach and consultation.

I've been going through a chocolate cake phase right now, and thought that maybe you'd like to go through a similar phase (it's a great way to make friends, sharing the results!)
German Chocolate Cake is a retro classic (just like Red Velvet Cake). The cake does not originate from Germany, but gets its name from a fellow named Sam German, who developed a sweet baking chocolate used in this cake. I have kept true to the flavour profile, which includes a gooey caramel-like pecan and coconut filling & topping, but I have opted for a milk chocolate cake and frosting.
When taking on this month's challenge, be sure to budget time, between the tender, moist cake layers, gooey filling, frosting and assembly, it is best made a day before you wish to serve it. Also, keep in mind that milk chocolate candy bars or chocolate chips are not suitable for melting into cake batters and frosting, since they are designed to hold their shape - you must use baking chocolate, also known as couverture. It is now sold at most groceries, bulk and specialty stores.
The effort will be worth it, and I look forward to hearing about and seeing photos of the end result. Get those glasses of ice cold milk ready!
GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKEMakes 1 2-layer 8-inch cakeServes 10 to 12 Cake:4 oz milk chocolate**, chopped¾ cup boiling water2 cups all-purpose flour1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa powder1 tsp baking powder½ tsp baking soda½ tsp salt1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar1 cup buttermilk2/3 cup mayonnaise2 large eggs1 tsp vanilla extractPecan Coconut Filling:¾ cup packed light brown sugar2 Tbsp cornstarch1/3 cup maple syrup¾ cup whipping cream4 large egg yolks¼ cup unsalted butter1 cup sweetened flaked coconut¾ cup toasted & chopped pecans1 tsp vanilla extractpinch saltFrosting:2 cups icing sugar1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa powder½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces4 oz milk chocolate**, chopped2/3 cup full-fat sour cream2 tsp vanilla extractpinch salt
Directions:1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease two 8-inch cake pans, line the bottom of the pans with parchment and dust the sides with flour.2. Place the chopped chocolate into a bowl and pour the boiling water over top, letting it sit a minute. Whisk to melt the chocolate (don't worry if the mixture appears grainy). Set aside.3. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the brown sugar, buttermilk, mayonnaise, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add the flour mixture to this and whisk well, until there are no visible lumps. Whisk in the chocolate mixture (the batter will be fluid), and divide this evenly between the 2 prepared cake pans. Bake for about 45 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 15 minutes and then turn them out to cool completely.4. For the filling, whisk the brown sugar and cornstarch together in a medium saucepot. Whisk in the maple syrup, cream and eggs and heat over medium-high, whisking constantly, until thickened and the filling just begins to bubble, about 6 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and whisk in the butter, then stir in the coconut, pecans, vanilla and salt. Scrape this into a bowl, cool and then chill completely before using.5. For the frosting, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder together. Melt the chocolate and butter by stirring gently in a bowl placed over a pot of barely simmering water. Remove from the heat and while still warm, beat in half of the icing sugar mixture using electric beaters or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla, scraping the bowl well and then add the remaining icing sugar until smooth. Use the frosting immediately.6. To assemble the cake, place the first cake layer on a platter. Spoon about a cup of the frosting into a piping bag and pipe around the top edge of the cake. Spread half of the filling over the cake, right to the piped edge of frosting. Top this with the second cake layer and spread the top and sides of the cake with the frosting, placing any remaining frosting into the piping bag, for detailing on the top edge. Spread the remaining filling over the top of the cake, finish any detailing and then chill for at least 2 hours before serving.** It is important to use milk chocolate made for baking (couveture), not chocolate chips or commercial chocolate bars which will not melt smoothly into cake batters or frosting. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 4 days.

"My research shows that young cancer patients' views on existential issues show consistency before and after the diagnosis: Their faith and their religious practices remain the same. However, the beliefs they already had can be confirmed and strengthened -- this applies both to religion and science -- so the patients may feel more strongly for the beliefs they had before they were diagnosed," explains sociologist of religion Nadja Ausker from the University of Copenhagen.
It has been a theoretical staple of sociology of religion that major religious conversions are preceded by personal crises; a person's feelings toward religion are significantly altered when confronted with an existential crisis such as a cancer diagnosis.
But Nadja Ausker challenges this theory with her thesis "Time for a change? Negotiations of religious continuity, change, and consumption among Danish cancer patients." In the thesis, she interviews 21 young cancer patients about the religious consequences of life crises, both shortly after the diagnosis and during treatment.

Fine dining offered at Pheasant Knoll Farm by David Lias Virginia Koster is best known in these parts as a former Vermillion restaurateur. She established and managed Emma�s Kitchen in downtown Vermillion and worked as head chef there for four years.
In 1997, Koster left Vermillion to return to her roots on the east coast and pursue some dreams � some of which came true.
�I got to prepare and serve a meal for Julia Child,� she said. �That�s been a lifelong dream of mine.�
Chasing and fulfilling dreams wasn�t enough to keep Koster away from southeastern South Dakota.
�I�m originally from Massachusetts, but I just kept thinking something was missing from my life,� she said. �I missed being here. I missed the plains.�
Koster has returned to South Dakota and has found a unique way to share her culinary knowledge with others.
She now lives on a farm near Irene that offers a splendid view of South Dakota�s countryside. �At night, you can see the lights of Yankton,� she said.
She calls her home Pheasant Knoll Farm, and she has turned it into a place where she can serve good food and teach others how to prepare good food.
�I think I�ve come up with a way to share my enthusiasm for serving good food even though I no longer own a restaurant here,� she said.
Koster has established a private dining fee. Couples or individuals may join by paying a small fee. Club members may call for reservations for five-course weekend dinners served on Friday and Saturday evenings at the farm.
Only dining club members and their guests may dine at Pheasant Knoll Farm.
Diners may enjoy strolls about the country cottage, and through herb and vegetable gardens.
A different five-course meal, using only the finest of seasonal and regional ingredients, is prepared each weekend for club members, who enjoy their dinner in a leisurely fashion in a relaxed setting.
Club members may arrange for private dinners or luncheons for groups of six or more any time of the week at the farm or in their own private settings. Meals and receptions can be provided for groups as small as six or for special events with more than 300 people.
All menus are individually planned, designed and priced. There are no stock lists of entrees or hors d� oeuvres. Each menu is planned to suit individual needs.
During her return to the east coast, Koster advanced her culinary career by working for Bruce Tillinghast, a chef nominated for the James Beard Award, at the New Rivers Restaurant in Providence, RI.
She also developed recipes and did food writing for Nancy Verde Barr, a cookbook author and former executive chef for Julia Child.
Recently, she worked with celebrity chefs Johanne Killeen and George Germon of Al Forno Restaurant in Providence, RI, and helped them organize materials for their upcoming second cookbook.
�I�m trying to provide an atmosphere of really fine dining,� Koster said.
She also is passing along some of her expertise by offering cooking classes throughout the year on a variety of topics for club members and guests.
The classes are designed to be fun. Koster uses recipes as guides, not gospel. Her goal is to teach people to be in charge of their own kitchens, to follow their feelings and trust their senses of taste and smell, and to abandon their inhibitions when it comes to food preparation.
The five-course meals are $35 per person. Individuals interested in joining the dining club, in having an event catered, or in taking cooking classes may call Koster at Pheasant Knoll Farm. The phone number is 605-263-3246.

70 Years After Start of Spanish Civil War
UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese presents Oct. 10–Dec. 5 film series on Franco era's bloody beginning.
Published: Thursday, September 28, 2006
The films we are presenting are not always easy to watch, but they are essential for achieving a fuller understanding of the Spanish Civil War and its continuing impact.
UCLA News
Date: September 28, 2006
Contact: Vanessa Diaz ( email@example.com )
Phone: 310-825-5295
Under the fascist dictatorship of Gen. Francisco Franco, the Spanish population suffered from severe repression, and it was taboo to talk of the trauma and torture of the 1936-39 civil war that brought Franco to power. But more than 30 years after Franco's death, filmmakers are delving into the unexplored feelings of both the "winners" and "losers" of this bloody Spanish Civil War.
The UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese has coordinated a five-part film series, "Politics of Memory: New Documentaries on the Spanish Civil War and the Franco Era," to showcase the research on the harsh, agonizing realities of the war that were previously unknown to most of the world.
"First-hand research is always powerful, but to have it shared through a visual medium, such as film, can reach people in an even more intense and personal way," department chair John Dagenais said. "The films we are presenting are not always easy to watch, but they are essential for achieving a fuller understanding of the Spanish Civil War and its continuing impact on Spanish society."
"Santa Cruz, Por Ejemplo" (Santa Cruz, For Example), by filmmaker Günter Schwaiger, the first of the films to be screened, explores the story of the town Santa Cruz de la Salceda, where nine residents were murdered by Franco's brigades. The film features intimate interviews with the victims' families and follows the process of the 2003-04 exhumation of some of the victims. The title of the film represents that this is just one of many examples of similar tragic Spanish Civil War stories that were silenced.
In "La Guerilla de la Memoria" (The Little War of Memory), filmmaker Javier Corcuera traces the lives of a group of Spaniards who were not willing to give up the fight against Franco and fascism, even after the war was declared over. The group fled to the mountains to fight as guerillas and their deeds became a part of popular legend.
"Los Presos del Silencio" (Prisoners of Silence), the documentary by Mariano Agudo and Eduardo Montero, uses the memories of survivors and relatives of victims to reconstruct the stories of prisoners and some of those sentenced to death by Franco.
In "El Convoy de los 927" (927 on the Train to Hell), filmmakers Montse Armengou and Ricard Belis reveal the heart-wrenching story of 927 Spaniards who sought refuge in France after the Spanish Civil War but ended up getting sent by train to a concentration camp in Austria where 87 percent of the men and teenage boys died.
"Death in El Valle" traces local filmmaker C.M. Hardt's return to her family's tiny village in Spain to try to track down the man who assassinated her grandfather during the years of continuing resistance to Franco which followed the civil war.
Each film screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the film's director or leading Los Angeles-area scholars on Spanish culture and film.
The series, which will screen at New York University before coming to UCLA, is being drawn from Spanish documentary series "Imagenes Contra el Olvido" (Images Against Amnesia) (www.imagenescontraelolvido.com).
Here is a complete schedule of screenings:
"Politics of Memory: New Documentaries on the Spanish Civil War and the Franco Era," Oct. 10-Nov. 14
All films are in Spanish with English subtitles.
Tuesday, Oct. 10
7 p.m., Royce Hall, room 314

As the aunt of a young niece, I'm obsessed with the topic of girls and self-confidence. If there's anything I can do to help her avoid what I went through—fear of looking bad while learning something new, self-doubt, and reluctance to try new things—I'm determined to do it. But is it possible to build someone else's self-confidence?
Get the Facts
To answer this question, I went to the parents of the most confident kids I know. I asked if they had a secret formula. All the parents agreed that while parents (or aunts) can't give their children self-confidence, they can create opportunities that can. Kids need:
Chances to Succeed
"Kids need opportunities to experience success," says Harriet S. Mosatche, Ph.D., senior director, Research and Program at Girl Scouts of the USA. Mosatche is a developmental psychologist, author of Girls: What's So Bad About Being Good?: How to Have Fun, Survive the Preteen Years, and Remain True to Yourself, and the mom of Elizabeth—a very confident high school senior and contributor to that book.
"As a parent, you can set up opportunities every day, where your kids can feel successful," Mosatche adds. "But remember, it has to be a real success—something that's a challenge for them. Once that challenge has been met a few times, it's time for a new one."
Different Opportunities
"Children can develop their sense of competence in a variety of areas—sports, the arts, school, social situations," Mosatche says. Patty Furino, a parent, agrees. She and her husband, Marco, helped provide the settings for their daughter Kim to feel successful.
In addition to diving competitively since middle school, Kim, now a college student, raised and trained dogs for Canine Companions for Independent Living while she was in high school. Her work with Canine Companions included public speaking for the organization, a true confidence-builder. "Raising and training two dogs—and speaking about it to others—taught Kim that she was good with both people and animals," Furino says. As a result of her experiences, Kim was able to choose a college major confidently: She is now studying marine mammal science at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
Experiences that Build on Success
Parent Louise Heck sees that early success has been important for building confidence in her two sons. "We started with simple things like having the boys decide what to wear," she said. At first it was a choice between two or three things she or her husband had picked out for the boys. "You want it to be a real choice," she explained, "not one that you're going to overrule because of the weather." Now at 5 and 8 years old, Louise's boys pick out their own clothes and help choose after-school activities. "Having control over what he wears has helped Michael make the adjustment to 'real school' from day care," Louise added. "He may not be sure he wants to go, but at least he's sure of what he'll be wearing when he gets there."
The Girl Scout Program Offers Built-In Activities
The Girl Scout program boasts numerous awards that girls can earn at each grade-level. A girl can try all kinds of activities—from those centered on family and friendship to science and sports.
Girl Scouting also gives girls a safe place to fail—and to recover from that failure. "If a girl feels she is not good at something, that's okay," says Mosatche. "It's okay not to be the best at everything."
Girl Scouts gives girls in grades K-12 the courage and confidence to succeed at many things, so they can make the world a better place. To find a Girl Scout council near you, search our Council Finder.

Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Thank you for this opportunity to speak before
such a prestigious group as the Japan National Press
Club . First , may I offer my congratulations to His
I mperial Majesty , the Emperor , who tomorrow wi l l se t
a longevity record among all Japan ' s monarchs . I
wish him continued good health and happiness .
You are all aware of my strong views on the
importance of the U. S . -Japan relationship to the
peace and prosperity of the Pacific region. And I am
sure you have heard often my strong conviction that
the next century will be the Century of the Pacific .
This is where the action is and where it will be in
the future .
Because I feel so strongly about this U. S . -Japan
relationship and about the Pacific region , I am
compelled to be frank with you today about the very
serious strains in our trade relations . We have had
trade differences since I arrived here eight years
ago , and for many years before that . But the present
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
situation is something new, something very dangerous ,
and something that causes me deep concern .
Japan should not underestimate the present threat
of protectionism in the United States . There are now
more protectionist bills pending in Congress than we
have seen in 50 years , and the likelihood of some of
those bills being passed in the near future is high
--very high . Many business groups in America are
now abandoning their traditional support of free
trade in favor of legislation restricting Japanese
imports . "Reciprocity" is the catchword being heard
in Washington these days .
It would be a serious mistake to think Congress
is only crying wolf when it talks of retaliatory
trade legislation against Japan . My recent visit to
Washington convinced me that the pressure for trade
protection is the greatest that I can recall . Both
the U.S. and Japan share responsibility for this
situation . Both must share in the task of finding a
solution .
Our economic relationship has become so important
to the U. S. and Japan as well as the rest of the
free world -- that we simply must not let it be
damaged by protectionism and the closing of markets .
Just over a decade ago, U. S . trade with all of East

Japanese economy . In 1983 , 29 percent of Japan ' s
total exports went to the United States . In 1984,
the u . s . share of Japan's global exports increased to
35 . 2 percent, and by April of this year we were
taking 38 . 9 percent of Japan's exports . At the same
time , the importance of the Japanese market to the
u.s . economy should not be overlooked, for in 1984,
Japan imported $23 . 6 billion worth of American
products , an increase of 8 .8 percent over 1983 ,
making Japan the largest market for U.S . exports next
to Canada . As a matter of fact, it is the only major
country opening up and not closing it's markets .
As our economies have grown more interdependent,
the size of the trade problem between us has also
grown . The U. S . trade deficit with Japan in 1981 was
$18 billion , considered huge and unacceptable at the
time. By 1983, the trade deficit had increased to
over $21 billion . Then in 1984, our trade deficit
with Japan soared to an enormous $37 billion . It
- 3 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
appears that the 1985 trade deficit could reach as
high as $47 billion or more. As a result, the
rumblings in the Congress about trade retaliation
against Japan have become roars.
Protectionism is not the solution, but in recent
months the threat of a trade war has become very
real. We simply must solve our difficult trade
issues. The question is how. First and foremost, we
have to be honest with ourselves, and admit that we
both share responsibilty for the tensions now before
us. We must get away from rhetoric and get down to
reality, on both sides.
First, let me talk about what the U.S. must do.
We need to put our trade problem with Japan into the
proper context of our trade problem with the entire
world. We had a global trade deficit of $123.3
billion in 1984, of which Japan accounted for
slightly less than 30 percent. While our deficit
with Japan is increasing, our deficit with the rest
of the world is increasing even faster. In 1980, we
had a trade ~~~E!~~ of $20.3 billion with Western
Europe. By 1984, that had changed to a ~~fi~it of
$16.9 billion. In 1980, we had a surElus of $1.3
billion with Latin America. By 1984, that had
changed to a ~~!i~it of nearly $18 billion. Last
year we had a $20.4 billion deficit with Canada, and
- 4 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
an $11 . 1 billion deficit with Taiwan .
What this means is that we cannot simply blame
J apan fo r our t rade problem , because that problem is
worldwide. While we press Japan to open its markets,
we must also look at the motes in our own eyes, and
realize much of the deficit is of our own making .
Probably the most important obstacle to American
expor t s is the high value of the U. S . dollar . As
u. s . Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter recently
stated, the strong U. S . dollar lies at the root of
the current trade problem . The strong dollar is, in
turn , caused in large part by our huge budget
deficit . In 1984 , the United States government paid
$111 billion just to meet its interest payments on
its national debt . The President ' s 1986 budget
message estimated that by next year it will cost us
over $142 billion just to pay the debt interest -that
is just to pay interest, not to pay off the debt
itself .
With such large borrowing by the government in
capital markets, interest rates have been high for
several years . Rates have been dropping in recent
weeks , but are still too high by historical
standards . Such high interest rates attract foreign
capital to the U. S . in record amounts . This
- 5 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
reinforces the high value of the dollar , pricing U. S .
products out of export markets . Take the case of the
yen . In 1984, over $49 billion worth of yen left
Japan in net long-term capital invested abroad . Much
of it went to the U. S . to take advantage of our high
interest rates . Consequently, the yen has remained
weak against the dollar, even though the yen is
relatively strong against all other currencies . No
matter how good our products may be, others are not
going to buy them if they are too expensive .
What we in the u. s . need is less hand wringing
and more initiative to solve this and other
problems . I have been encouraged by action in the
Congress to reduce the budget deficit. Congress is
moving in the right direction , but not fast enough,
and not far enough.
There are other areas where congressional action
is needed. We have legislation preventing the export
of surplus Alaskan oil . Japan and East Asia want to
buy it; the Administration would like to be able to
sell it; but the law prevents it . Such sales would
put a big dent in our trade deficit with Japan . Only
action by Congress can mak e this possible .
Our antiquated anti-trust laws often inhibit
cooperation among American companies and hamper their
- 6 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
ability t o compete wi t h fore i gn companies in the
in t ernat i onal marke t place . Congress needs to take a
hard look a t what should be done to amend such
legisl ation -- in order to give the competitive edge
back to U. S . business . The large Japanese trading
companies play a key role in acquiring market shares
for Japanese goods abroad . Yet much of what they do
would probably be illegal for American companies .
This should not be the case . Our law should permit
U. S . businessmen to cooperate for the purpose of
competing for foreign projects and markets .
The private sector in the U. S. should also take
action . American productivity has to increase at a
faster pace if we are to hold our own , or I should
say if we are to regain lost ground . According to
the U. S . Department of Labor , manufacturing
productivity rose 9 . 5 percent in Japan last year . By
contrast, productivity in the United States rose only
3 . 5 percent . American business can increase its
productivity at rates equal to Japan's; it simply
must take the initiative . The tax reform plan now
before the Congress could help a great deal in this
regard , if it means companies are truly encouraged to
invest based on what makes good business sense .
We also need to see better labor/management
relations in the U. S . Great progress has been made
- 7 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
in this area in recent years, but all too often we
still see an adversarial relationship which drains
the productive energy of everyone involved. The same
holds true for business/government relations. Only
recently have we really started to work together to
solve our problems, but we must do more.
Our companies also need to do more to provide the
highest quality at the lowest prices, and more
attentive follow-up service once our products are
sold. This is particularly so in a market as
competitive as Japan, where the customer expects to
have a long-term relationship with the merchandiser.
Now let me talk about what Japan needs to do.
Japan should realize -- and I believe it does -- that
its economy is now an integrated part of the world
economy and that this entails heavy responsibilities
to its trading partners. The Japanese diplomatic
yearbook for 1985, recently released by the Foreign
Ministry, put the case very well: "Accepted for
membership in the GATT, the United Nations, and the
OECD, Japan has gradually come to be a major
industrial democracy. As one of the world's leading
countries, it is essential for Japan to fulfill its
responsibility commensurate with its position in the
international community, even though it may require
self-sacrifice." I was also very impressed by Prime
- 8 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Minis t er Nakasone ' s recen t statement that Japan will
act on its own initia t ive in opening its markets to
fo r eign compe t i t ion . As the Prime Minis t er put it,
"I f t here is anything we ought to do we will work
hard to do it, wi t hout being told to do so by other
countries . " Such leadership is going to be very
important in solving our problems .
The days of protecting industry from fair
competition should end . What we want is access to
your markets -- not guarantees that we will sell;
that is up to us . We simply want the same
opportunities in your markets that you have in our
markets -- and you should never forget the
opportunities you have in the U. S ., because for you
the u.s . is the market that counts . We admit the
macroeconomic problems -- such as the value of the
dollar --which make it difficult for us here .
Nevertheless , the problems which we have in the U. S.
must not be used as an excuse for preventing free and
fair competition in the Japanese marketplace .
Most of Japan ' s economic growth is now due to
exports . Your trade surplus is global - $44 billion
in 1984 , and it could go well over $50 billion in
1985 - and you are now feeling pressure from ASEAN
and the European nations , as well as from the United
States .
- 9 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
Again, access is the key to protecting Japan's
foreign markets-- access to Japan's markets. Our
trade deficit is likely to continue even if Japan's
markets are fully opened, but once the U.S. and other
nations are convinced that we are able to compete
here on a fair basis, then the current trade
frictions will subside. All that the U.S. asks for
is fair access and opportunity in Japan, nothing more
and nothing less.
Japan can do a number of things to ensure such
access. In its June 25 announcement on tariff
reductions, the government stated its willingness to
reduce to zero the tariffs on all industrial items in
the new trade round. I find this an excellent
proposal, especially if the high tariffs on items
made from forest products are included. Across the
board elimination of tariffs on all industrial items
would be real progress in opening Japan's markets,
because many key sectors are still protected by
carefully targeted tariffs. The planned elimination
of tariffs on many industrial products announced on
June 25 is a welcome step in the right direction.
Would it not be worthwhile to see this extended to
all industrial products and not just the selected
items listed?
The unnecessarily high tariffs on agricultural
- 10 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
products should also be considered for elimination.
There is no reason Japan should have a 25 percent
duty on grapefruit, and high tariffs or quotas on
tomato puree, walnuts, chocolates, wines, and many
other agricultural products . . We welcome the progress
made in reducing tariffs on many agricultural items
announced last month, but frankly further work
remains to be done. We would like Japan to consider
the elimination of the quotas still in force on 27
items, most of them agricultural.
Most of the remaining tariffs and quotas are
targeted on sectors in which the U.S. and other
countries could be competitive suppliers, and could
sell billions of dollars worth of goods. Japan's
average tariff rate is low, but the targeting of
tariffs on areas in which foreign competition could
be most effective is a form of protectionism.
It would be a mistake to think that short-term
stop gap measures are going to solve the problems
between us. An attitude change is needed --a change
I think we may now be seeing -- a change away from
the idea that Japanese companies should buy only from
Japanese suppliers, even if the foreign competition
may be better.
Japan needs to accept the idea that it should
- 11 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
import much more, especially manufactured products.
The strong industrial base in Japan can accept
competition, and can be more fully a part of the
world economy if Japan increases imports and sets a
new goal of balance and stability in its world
trading relationships.
Japan has the second largest free-world economy,
and Japan should begin to shoulder more
responsibility. Japan's growth has for years been
led by exports. A move toward more domestic-led
growth could have substantial benefits for other
nations of the world. In its White Paper on
International Trade issued last month, MITI called
for increasing private consumption and housing
investment, increasing Japan's investment in
infrastructure such as roads, housing, the
environment and the like, and maintaining steady
growth in private non-residential investment. I
agree with this, because such actions would not only
benefit Japan, but its trading partners throughout
the world as well.
Action is needed across the board, anywhere and
everywhere that we find barriers to free and fair
competition from imports. Under Prime Minister
Nakasone's leadership Japan has begun to move. We in
the United States have not moved fast enough or far
- 12 -
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 3, Folder 28, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
enough to correct our trade problems, but neither has
Japan moved fast enough or far enough in opening its
markets as a full member of the industrialized free
world . We must both do what is necessary to correct
the trade imbalance . The time for rhetoric is over,
the time for action is now. The world is watching
us. We must not fail to do what needs to be done -by
both of us --and the sooner the better .

Password tips
Passwords are an important aspect of computer security. They provide protection for your online user accounts. Simple passwords may mean a breach of your security resulting in the theft of your user accounts. If someone else determines your password, he can effectively assume your electronic identity.
Examples of obvious simple passwords:
- Password
- Guest
- User
- Admin
- Pat1234
Developing a complex password will provide the best defense against breaches in the security of your online accounts. It is tempting to pick something easy to remember. However, hackers use password cracking programs that can rapidly find a password match.
Here are some guidelines for choosing strong, complex passwords:
- A minimum character length (depends on systems being accessed)
- Contains a mix of upper and lower case letters
- Includes numerals, special characters, and punctuation
- Is not based on personal information
- Is not based on any dictionary word
Examples of complex passwords:
- Use more than one word (SaorilikesTurtles, AnriandDog)
- Use a combination of special characters and letters (Allison = @ll!s0n)
- Choose events or people that are on your mind (my eye hurts = MyE6eHuRt$)
- Use phonetics in words (Want to dance? = R0ndaDan$?)
- Lengthy passwords
- Use first letters of a phrase (My son Luke is in the Coast Guard in DC = MsL$inCGdc)
Important things to remember when creating passwords:
- They have meaning for you (so you will remember them!)
- Don't write them down
- Don't create new passwords that are significantly similar to ones you have previously used
- Never use names of family members or pets, your date of birth, or your social security number. Such information may be public and should not be used in a password.

In addition to the integrated technology validation projects sponsored by DOE, universities, along with state and local government entities throughout the world are partnering with industry to demonstrate integrated hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in real-world applications.
Dow Chemical Company and General Motors are collaborating to demonstrate the viability of using hydrogen fuel cells to generate power for a large-scale industrial facility. Dow's chemical production plant in Freeport, Texas, produces hydrogen as a byproduct of its manufacturing operations. This hydrogen will be used in GM fuel cells to generate some of the electricity required to run the plant. In February 2004, the first 75-kW fuel cell began operation. Eventually, Dow and GM plan to install up to 400 fuel cells to generate 35 MW of power, or about 2% of the total electricity required at the facility.
The Grimstad Energy Park, opened in June 2000, is a work in progress. The goal of the Energy Park is to study integrated systems and to provide information to the public by demonstrating different aspects of renewable energy and hydrogen technology. The park is designed for studying integrated energy systems. Photovoltaic cells and thermal solar collectors provide renewable power for the electrolyzer. Three heat pumps collect heat from four 150-meter deep boreholes, which are also connected to the solar collectors. The electrolyzer produces hydrogen, which can be stored on-site or fed to a 2.5-kW alkaline fuel cell stack to provide additional power for the Energy Park.
Utsira is a small, wind-swept island located off the west coast of Norway. Today, electricity is supplied to the island by an under-sea cable connection from the mainland. By tapping into the island's wind resource (average wind speed of 22 miles per hour), Utsira could produce all the energy it needs. The electrolyzer manufacturer, Norsk Hydro, in partnership with Utsira, has embarked on a pioneering project to demonstrate how wind power and hydrogen can provide all the electricity and fuel needed for the small island. Two 600-kW wind turbines will generate electricity for the island. Excess electricity will be used to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen will be stored until needed, both for power supply when the wind turbine is not operating and as a fuel for the island's vehicles and boats.
