Puccini's "La Boheme," Lyric Opera: Grand opera's most enduringly popular tear-jerker returns to the Lyric for two series of winter performances, each with a different pair of central lovers. Mimi in the January-February series will be sung by Ana Maria Martinez, with Dimitri Pittas making his house debut as Rodolfo. Headlining the March performances will be Anna Netrebko, in her long-awaited Lyric debut, partnered by Joseph Calleja. Sharing their Bohemian quarters will be Elizabeth Futral, Lucas Meachem, Andrea Silvestrelli, Joseph Lim and Dale Travis. Emmanuel Villaume conducts, with Louisa Muller directing. Jan. 21-Feb. 7 and March 9-28 at Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive; $32-$239 at 312-332-2244, ext. 5600; lyricopera.org

Jan. 24, Feb. 8, April 5 and May 8 at Harris Theater for Music and Dance, 205 E. Randolph St.; $15-$30 at 312-334-7777, harristheaterchicago.org
Wagner's "Die Meistersinger," Lyric Opera: Back at Lyric for the first time since 1999 is this richly human comedy, the company's winter contribution to the Wagner bicentenary. James Morris will portray the cobbler-poet Hans Sachs, with Johan Botha as Walther, Amanda Majeski as Eva and Bo Skovhus as Beckmesser. New to Chicago will be David McVicar's production, highly praised when it opened at England's Glyndebourne Festival in 2010. Andrew Davis conducts. Feb. 8-March 3 at Civic Opera House; $32-$239 at 312-332-2244, ext. 5600; lyricopera.org
Museum of Contemporary Art: MCA Stage is going all out for contemporary music this winter. Ensemble-in-residence ICE collaborates with composers Carla Kihlstedt and Phyllis Chen (Feb. 16). The Chicago period instrument group Baroque Band presents newly commissioned works by Anna Clyne, Elbio Barilari and four other composers, each piece to be paired with a corresponding Bach "Brandenburg" Concerto (Feb. 21-24). And Fifth House Ensemble has tapped composers Caleb Burhans and John Zorn for new works (March 9). Museum of Contemporary Art, 220 E. Chicago Ave.; $10-$28 at 312-397-4010, mcachicago.org
Philip Glass' "The Fall of the House of Usher," Chicago Opera Theater: The Andreas Mitisek era at COT begins with the local premiere of the minimalist master's 1987 adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's horror classic. Mitisek, the company's new general director, will conduct this season opener, in a production staged by Ken Cazan. Feb. 23-March 1 at Harris Theater; $52-$338 at 312-704-8414, chicagooperatheater.org
Paul Lewis: The compelling British pianist concludes his three-season, five-concert survey here of Schubert's mature piano works with the composer's final three sonatas. March 3 at Symphony Center; $19-$77 at 312-294-3000, cso.org
CSO and Pierre Boulez: Absent from the podium last season because of an eye ailment, the orchestra's octogenarian conductor emeritus returns to lead two weeks of subscription concerts. The programs hold signature 20th-century classics by Debussy, Messiaen, Stravinsky, Bartok and Schoenberg, along with works by Wagner and Mahler. But, alas, none of Boulez's own music. March 7-16 at Symphony Center; $24-$212 at 312-294-3000, cso.org
Andre Previn's "A Streetcar Named Desire," Lyric Opera: Previn based his first opera on Tennessee Williams' iconic American play, tailoring the juicy central role of Blanche DuBois to the vocal and dramatic persona of Renee Fleming. The soprano, who since went on to become Lyric's creative consultant, will re-create the part in four "staged concert performances" that will mark the work's Chicago premiere. The cast includes Susanna Phillips, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Anthony Dean Griffey, with Evan Rogister conducting. March 26-April 6 at Civic Opera House; $32-$239 at 312-332-2244, ext. 5600; lyricopera.org

Interesting... Elvis truly is Titanic!
For the story please go to the following URL:
Interesting... Elvis truly is Titanic!
Daddy, I miss you more every day. You will always be my hero..
"He is like Titanic of music."
Thank you for the touching article, Brian.
Take care,
Nice article....goes to show you Elvis is known worldwide - even though unfortunately he didn't get to perform in other countries as he wanted to.
If Elvis was Titanic ... what was his iceberg??
A strange analogy to be sure.
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
Gee you have the same attitude and insult people (in another thread) like someone who used to be here.
The Titanic hit an iceberg; hence it sank, but it was the best ship of it's day. That is the analogy. As I said, you are thinking of things the wrong way, in my opinion, the glass is half full, not half empty, and I'm not interested in verbal gymnastics with you.
This is supposed to be fun here, and nothing else. We are off topic. Have a nice day.
One more thing the book isnt really about Elvis...its about Bill Clinton since Elvis was his code name with the secret services people
I said it was a "strange analogy" ... how is that insulting you???
Again, I'm new here, perhaps I'm missing some etiquette, but an insult was not my intention. I read the forum rules and know that this is a moderated forum. Please don't embarrass me publicly if you have an issue, send me a PM.
"You are thinking of it the wrong way" you said. Maybe you are?
Geez ...
Sorry mods if this is off topic, but this was out of the blue ...
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
He is a huge Elvis fan. When he was in the White House, he had a giant framed pic of Elvis in the 50s in his den.
In his autobiography (a good read, btw) he talks of his "Elvis" FBI code name, and how he loved in whenever he left the White House, he'd hear the FBI say "Elvis has left the building" over the walkie talkies!
Also, Elvis was his mother's favourite singer. He played Elvis at her funeral.
Wonder what Bush has in his den? Pat Boone maybe?
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
I was just kidding Brian hehe i think Bush might have LIBERACE and Fabian in that den too
No harm done, both Jess and Getlo.
Read the posts carefully is all I can say... Nothing bad in this one!

Oh! I am a huge fan of Gyudon (same dish with beef) so I think I'll love this one!
over 2 years ago GoodFoodie
I love Oyakodon but I usually cut down on the sugar and salt (soy sauce) in most traditional Japanese recipes without causing a problem. Keep in mind that mirin also has a lot of sugar in it too.
over 2 years ago mskw
i have been making this dish for a long time - it's great if you have left over chicken and rice in your fridge too...just cook the onion and add the already cooked pieces...add Broccoli or any veg for complete meal ( i also use dashi instead of chicken broth for milder taste). One of our fav. weeknight quick meals.

All had been well since our service upgrade a few weeks ago, and I have not messed with anything since.
About one week ago and right after I had gone to bed, my wife and I heard three or four buzzing sounds coming from our breaker panel in an adjoining bedroom, and then the 30A breaker for the underground subfeed out to my workshop (with its own panel) tripped. After resetting that breaker and nothing more happened, I just flipped it back off and let it be until beginning to check things out today. There had been no load or demand of any kind at the workshop when that breaker had buzzed a bit and then tripped.
1) The subfeed's breaker had an ugly-looking terminal, and replacing that breaker with a new one made no difference.
Note: I still had no lights working out in the workshop, and I did not think to check for power on the other incoming leg.
2) I next disconnected the underground workshop-feed from its junction box on the outside of our house.
3) Power coming out to that junction box is fine. (and breaker is now off again)
4) My meter shows no short (no continuity) between the black and red wires going out to the workshop.
5) I did not check either feed line for continuity against the white wire (neutral).
6) With the underground red and black wires twisted and nutted together (at the house end), I get at least 1400 ohms resistance at the workshop end ... and that number climbs continually for as long as I hold my meter on the wire ends at workshop panel. (main-breaker terminals)
7) Until today after digging it up, the first couple of house-end-feet of the underground wire to the workshop had been laying inside a rusty, water-filled conduit for a long time.
8) I have yet to find any damaged insulation (jacket) on the underground feed wire going out to the workshop.
My guess is that I am going to have to replace the underground wire going out, and I suspect that resistance I have found is coming some kind of compromise in either the black or red wire going out.
Note: There was no rain or anything else going on at the time the subfeed wire apparently shorted somewhere underground and tripped its breaker.
Am I missing anything here?!
I thank you!
PS: For anyone who might get a chuckle here, this all happened just an hour or so after my mother-in-law had passed away ... and then my wife actually said: "Oh oh, Dad's complaining again already!"

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people." --Eleanor Roosevelt
There is one place where the underground line *did* get a bit of slight damage on the outer covering while we were replacing the sewer line about two years ago. So, I plan to have a guy do the digging (I cannot do) to get to that spot and then clip the line and check it again. If the line is good from that point on back, I will next be asking about how to properly bury a splice or junction box or whatever.

I do not know what caused this problem, but I found it:
So, what do I need to make a couple of splices I can bury?
"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people." --Eleanor Roosevelt
I would recommend replacing the entire run and judging by what I see going deeper
I doubt that you have access to the type of splice you would need to make it perfectly waterproof.

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events and small minds discuss people." --Eleanor Roosevelt
What you are talking about is a splice kit for USE type of conductor and it will be nothing but a temporary fix for the TW conductors in the UF cable.
The best and only true fix is to replace the UF cable for the entire circuit and get it deeper in the ground. The root systems that are visible in the posted picture will be nothing but problems.
You will do it again if you don't put new wire into conduit.
It comes in Different sizes and Voltage ratings.
You would be better off replacing the wire but it could be repaired.
Conduit is Nice, I do not like unprotected wire and its best to be in Conduit.
Sometimes you just need to Get-er done.

Theory only works perfect in a vacuum.

I will be replacing the first 10 feet of the line at the house end since the copper is all black where the line had been laying in rusty water inside the old conduit running a couple of feet in the ground, and then I will be replacing about 8 feet of the line where the "burnout" had taken place. Total cost to me for this repair: less than 50 bucks.
Whoever first buried this line had damaged about four feet of it in that area in my picture, and I will definitely be replacing the entire line (at a cost (just for materials) of likely close to $300.00) if this ever happens again.
I thank you all!

Just after the state Senate convened for the day and before laggard Democrats got into the Senate chamber, Alabama Republicans moved quickly last Wednesday to pass a bill that would require drug testing of welfare recipients who have a history of drug use.
The Democrats cried foul, but no rules were broken. ("There is no shame in this Legislature," Sen. Quinton Ross, D-Montgomery, told the Birmingham News.) It was just another case of the GOP seeing an opportunity and seizing it. Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, who engineered the move, and Sen. Trip Pittman, R-Montrose, who sponsored the bill, high-fived each other when the measure passed.
This effort, Pittman said, "is an attempt to get people off drugs." That's a noble goal, no doubt.
Under the bill, welfare recipients with a drug conviction within the last five years would be tested. The first time they tested positive they would receive a warning. If they tested positive when tested again, they would lose their personal benefits but would continue to receive benefits due their children. A third positive test and the children's benefits would have to be administered by a third party, such as a relative.
In comparison, Florida's program to drug test welfare recipients caught few drug users, did not cut down on the number of welfare applicants and cost the state more than it saved. So, Alabama Republicans have decided they will solve the welfare-recipient-on-drugs problem the same way they approached the problem of failing schools: take away the money, and the one creating the problem will solve it in order to get the money back.
Pittman has admitted that there would not be many Alabamians to test — maybe a couple of hundred a year. (The bill also does not require drug testing for those who apply for food stamps.) Yet, why go to the trouble and expense and expose the state to yet another lawsuit?
It's because there is a large constituency that believes people receiving public assistance are using the money they get to buy drugs or other things for which taxpayer money should not be used. Just because there is scant evidence to back this up, and considerable evidence to suggest otherwise, supporters of this bill have given that constituency what they wanted.
If it gets through the House and the governor signs it, we can sit back and watch as the number of welfare recipients using drugs declines — or not.

A Thorough Introduction to Russian History April 5, 2011
For anyone interested in an introduction to the history of Russia, I highly recommend Riasanovsky's textbook. It provides a thorough overview of a very rich and complicated subject within the confines of a single volume. I was impressed with the manner in which the author breaks down the timeline of Russian history and treats subtopics (such as cultural developments) separately. I just completed this textbook and have already recommended it to others whom I know are interested in learning more about Russia, I recommend ecampus as well for the service it provides in shipping and textbooks quality.
A History of Russia: stars based on 1 user reviews.
Now completely revised in this eighth edition, A History of Russia covers the entire span of the country's history, from ancient times to the post-communist present. Keeping with the hallmark of the text, Riasanovsky and Steinberg examine all aspects of Russia's history--political, international, military, economic, social, and cultural--with a commitment to objectivity, fairness, and balance, and to reflecting recent research and new trends in scholarly interpretation. New chapters on politics, society, and culture since 1991 explore Russia's complex experience after communism and discuss its chances of becoming a more stable and prosperous country in the future. Widely acclaimed as the best one-volume history available, A History of Russia is also available in two split volumes--the first covers early Russia through the nineteenth century and the second ranges from 1855 to the present. Volume II features an additional introductory chapter that links Russia's modern history to the events that preceded it. New to this Edition: * Greater attention to social and cultural history * Updated to cover the Putin administration * Includes more information on women and everyday life throughout Russia * Reduces coverage of the pre-imperial era and greatly expands coverage of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century * Offers new 4-color reference maps

Never heard anything more true than that! (hails to EvilSmile and suggests that he should become world leader)
Soon, Soon. I shall soon take over the mantle of being a world leader.
but seriously, why does it so happen that those circles seem to rotate to all human eyes? What aspect of our nature is it that lets us be so consistently deceived.
Pardon me if the question doesn't interest you but to me it looks interesting and if anyone knows anything about this I'd be glad to know
Evilsmile (Y) world conquest?? ;)
Well I had a book on "Physics" by Mir Publishers, dont even remember the
name. In that he writes the generally observed phenomenon interms of
Laws of Physics. Its designed for kids to understand Newton's Laws
(without knowing Newton's Laws formally).
In the book he writes that the volume of focus of average human (Evilsmile discounted) eye is 10 degrees. Thus you would not see the illusion if you are a bit awy from the machine. All the objects outside this area of focus tend to be "compressed" (dont remember the exact word).
Stand away from the image and you will not see the illusion

The adjustable lumbar can be retrofitted in the field and added to existing chairs without a lumbar feature. A lumbar kit is also available separately. The cost for the kit is $50.00.
Imagine your office chair unframed. No borders, no limits, and full of surprises. Yves Behar and the Herman Miller design team tried this thought experiment themselves, and the result was the Sayl Chair.
When Yves Behar began working with Herman Miller the idea of the Sayl Chair was truly revolutionary. The chair is unique in every sense of the word and has a design that is all its own. Behar also designed the Leaf and Ardea personal lights. When Herman Miller commissioned Yves Behar to design a new chair, the goal was to make a chair that was designed with his mindset; unframed beauty. Yves Behar designs are never constrained by convention. Yves Behar's pieces are always designed with the notion that the human experience can be bettered by his ideas. When Herman Miller needed a highly affordable, beautifully designed chair with first class ergonomics, respect for the environment and elegant engineering there was really only one man for the job. Behar began his design process with an Earnes quote, 'The best for the most for the least', and the Sayl Chair was born. The Sayl Chair by Yves Behar is designed after San Francisco's most famous landmark: the Golden Gate Bridge. Behar wondered if the engineering principles used in a suspension bridge could be applied to an everyday office chair. The chair by Yves Behar proved that not only was it possible, but this design would reduce materials, weight, and environmental impact. In fact, by taking the time to investigate the dematerialization of the office chair, Behar ended up creating a masterpiece.
The flexible elastomer suspension material used in the Herman Miller Sayl Chair by Yves Behar could be stretched in a way that ensured the greatest tension at points where the back needs the most support and the least tension in areas that would allow for an extensive range of motion while sitting in the Sayl Chair. This idea perfectly coincided with Yves Behar's ideas on living your life unframed. The chair he designed for Herman Miller allows the consumer to sit in their chair unframed. With this concept intact, the actual creation of the Sayl Chair proved to be a larger hurdle than expected. The chair was not designed on a computer, it was hand sketched again and again and again. Numerous prototypes of the Sayl Chair were produced and rejected before the design was deemed perfect. Yves Behar describes the process as 'draw, build, break, and repeat until you arrive at something unique.' 'Unique' doesn't even come close to describing the final product. There isn't an adequate word to describe the unique qualities of the Sayl Chair.
After completing the perfect chair, Yves Behar had to come up with a name. Many ideas passed through Yves Behar's mind. Bridge, Sail, Gate, etc. So why name this innovative piece of furniture Sayl? When looking at the chair from the side, the Sayl Chair by Yves Behar closely resembles a full mainsail. The Golden Gate Bridge is constantly framed by the sails of the large ships passing beneath it. The name is a reflection of these sailing vessels that pass beneath San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. By replacing the 'I' in sail with a 'Y', Behar gave a nod to the innovative Y Tower structure of his new chair. In Behar's mind, a more perfect name did not exist. The Herman Miller Sayl Chair was officially born.
You've heard it a million times already, but the Sayl Chair by Yves Behar can be bought at an astonishingly low price. You cannot find this standard of quality in any other office chair at this same low cost; in fact you might not even be able to find this standard of quality in a chair that's twice as expensive. With a starting price under $459, the Sayl Chair is less than half the price of most Aeron Chair models. It comes in at half the price, with all the great attributes. The chair is stylish enough to go toe to toe with its more expensive competitors. Not only can the chair go toe-to-toe, but it can win. Jill Singer of Industrial Design magazine says, "It's a pretty amazing feat that they got it down to that point without sacrificing the look." Amazing doesn't really seem to do Behar justice. Amazing would've been the Chair priced at $700. $459 is just unspeakably low for the quality of the Herman Miller Sayl Chair by Yves Behar. $459 is unbelievably low for any chair with these aesthetic, ergonomic, and distinctive qualities. "We watched people sit and work," says Behar.
It's too soon to tell how many awards, accolades, and praises Herman Miller and Yves Behar will receive for their work, but the assumption is that many are to come. Yves Behar has always been known for his innovative way of thinking and problem solving, but nothing compares to the way he has paved the road for office, home, and work chairs of the future. Creating a completely unique and one of a kind chair for Herman Miller may or may not be what Yves Behar is known for in the end, but for now he has certainly made his mark. The Sayl Chair has changed the office chair design business permanently. Remarkably made and designed, these new Herman Miller chairs are in a league of their own and it's all because of Yves Behar's unique and innovative design strategies and ideas. Behar continues to make and create pieces that are one of a kind and geared specifically towards their users.
The Herman Miller Sayl Chair is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: AS2, AS4, AS5, AS2SA22PF, AS2SA22HF, AS2SA22AA, AS2SA23AA.
Read more about the Sayl Chair's environmentally friendly features.
Herman Miller is an industry leader in the integration of cutting edge technology to furniture and other household items to make everyday life more comfortable, convenient, and stylish. Herman Miller stands out at the forefront of such fields as ergonomic technologies, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, and customizable furniture items.
It's not surprising that Herman Miller has created some of the most ergonomic task chairs on the planet. Collaborating closely with designers such as Jeff Weber, Bill Stumpf, and Yves Behar, Herman Miller has launched such office chairs as the classic Aeron to the cutting-edge Sayl Chair.
Herman Miller is a global company with operations, sales offices, dealers, and licensees in more than 40 countries in North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America, serving customers virtually anywhere in the world. Herman Miller is headquartered in Zeeland, Michigan, while manufacturing facilities are located in the U.S., China, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
Read more about Yves Behar and the Sayl Chair.
In 1923, the Michigan Star Furniture Company was reinvented and became the Herman Miller Furniture Company. D.J. De Pree was the first president of the Herman Miller Furniture Company. De Pree would continue to preside over the Herman Miller Company for decades, paving the way for future presidents and employees. De Pree set the standard for Herman Miller products sky high and refused to compromise on any points, including their environmental impact. De Pree revamped the company for the first of many times in 1930, vowing to move away from traditional furniture and focus more on products that would better suit the changing needs and styles of the American population. The first of Herman Miller's showrooms was opened in 1939 in Chicago's famous Merchandise Mart.
By watching how people used their standard office chairs, Behar could create an office chair that was ten steps above the rest. With the understanding of the reasons people needed an office chair and how they used it, Behar created the ultimate version of their own reality. Behar did over 1,000 sketches of the Chair before getting it right. When attempting to design the perfect office or home chair, practice makes perfect. It took time, patience, and dedication on the part of Yves Behar, but the end result was phenomenal. The chair Behar designed for Herman Miller really does surpass all others. Once you've sat in an Yves Behar Sayl Chair, it's unlikely that you'll go back to anything else.

Wow what a great place! – I ate there last night with my family and was amazed at the selection on this buffet!! There were more fresh selections than I have ever seen and the wait was not long at all. From pastas and pizza to chicken spedine it all tasted so good than a cooked fresh minituarized chocolate souffle at the end was awesome. My kids ate lots of pasta and ice cream. This place is great for families and kids. Great service Great food. I will be definately going back on Monday or Tuesday were kids eat free. Thanks Cinzetis!
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Guests get to choose from over 80 fresh Italian dishes including seafood and meat dishes at reasonable prices.
Awesome Buffet!!!!!!!!! – Cinzettie's is an awesome place to go when your visiting Kansas City or when you live there. The buffet there offers many different kinds of food and has a huge dessert bar. The food, I would say, rates a 12 on a scale from 1 to 10. There is a wait to get seated sometimes but then again that shows how well it is liked. While you are waiting you can get sodas from the bar AND they pass around appitizers for their customers. It is deffinently worth the wait to get seated.
User review by mamies – The food is great...so many selections you have to come back to try what you missed the first time. There is a HUGE selection of pasta, pizza, desserts, & salads. I especially liked the ones with Italian sausage. Service was good, wait staff friendly and helpful. The dufus who ranked it "average" needs to do more research.
Terrific! – I completely agree with you when you said value. This place has more food than you can shake a stick at and all of it is delicious! With Cinzetti's you just can't go wrong. No matter what kind of food you are looking for, they will have it. Their salad bar is great, the pasta bar is wonderful, the pizza bar is awesome, and don't even get me started on the dessert. I think this place is great for anyone and you definitely won't leave hungry!
Value! – Probably one of the best values in the area. Especially the kids eat free nights (under 12 though, M&T) For 11.99 to be able to get tender calamari, awesome salads, plenty of pasta, pizza or roasted chicken dishes, plus fresh veggie sides and a full dessert bar with like 15 ice creams, Cinzetti's can't be touched. On the weekends the kids ARE 5.99. But with a single scoop of ice cream approaching $2 at Baskin Robbins- that ain't bad. The service is as good as anywhere in OP.
Good but not great – I enjoyed my experience here, very good service, nice ambience and a huge buffet! The food while it was OK, was'nt really spectacular, I say average, but it is alot better than most other buffet resturants. The dessert bar is awesome, italian ices, tiramisu and crepes were all very good.

I would link to this site for my students except for a few problems that I consider important in my teaching. First, the only species concept used is the Biological Species Concept. I would suggest that this be broadened to include other important species concepts such as the Phylogenetic Species Concept and Evolutionary Species Concept. It seems that we often oversimplify the species issue to the point that we fail to teach biological realities. You might see the following paper for some thoughts of the value of teaching species concepts:Chung, Carl. 2004. The species problem and the value of teaching the complexities of species. The American Biology Teacher, 66(6):413-417.There is also an error that may seem minor, but it is in direct conflict with concepts I try to teach to my students. This is the species name. In the table of taxa, "sapiens" is listed as the human species name. It is not; "sapiens" is the specific epithet. The species name is a binomial, and the table is simply perpetuating a common misunderstanding that students have about this.A third problem I have noticed after revisiting this site is that the several of the pronunciations are in error. Dipthongs should nearly always be pronounced as a single vowel sound but with the SECOND vowel long and the first vowel silent. It is true that many teachers and biologists in general are not consistent in this; however, a teaching web site with audio should have this correct. A useful reference that has a section on pronunciation of scientific terms is Triplehorn, Charles A. and Norman F. Johnson. 2005. Borror and Delongs's Introduction to the Study of Insects, 7th ed. Brooks/Cole. 864pp. (ISBN# 0-03-096835-6) The topic is covered in excellent detail in Chapter 3 entitled "Systematics, Classification, Nomenclature, and Identification.״

Good afternoon. To say "welcome to Japan" is hardly
necessary. Half of you live here and the other half have
visited so often that you must feel very much at home.
Nevertheless, I am very pleased to see you in Tokyo and
hope you have a productive and enjoyable stay.
De Toqueville, I believe, remarked on the propensity
of Americans to join in voluntary associations. Had he
come here, he would have noticed the same tendency among
the Japanese. This instinct of Americans and Japanese to
form groups has been most beneficial in the case of the
Japan-U.S. Businessmen's Conference. It has provided a
channel of communications between the two business
communities and a source of advice to the two governments.
I certainly appreciate your work and hope you will keep it
You are in the world's economically most dynamic
region. During the last decade, South Korea, Taiwan,
Hong Kong and the ASEAN countries have developed at astounding
rates. With the growth has come a great increase in
U.S. exports to Asia. From 1972 to 1978, our exports to
East Asia jumped by a factor of three. I am convinced that,
despite high e ne rgy costs, the r e gion will continue to
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

prosper and to offer great opportunities to U.S. and
Japanese business.
For the United States, Japan, our most important
partner and ally, is the economic and strategic center of
East Asia. It is by far the United States' greatest
economic partner in the region and a staunch friend. The
U.S.-Japan security relationship is the essential key to the
maintenance of peace and stability in this vast region. Our
cooperation with Japan has increased impressively, both with
respect to crisis situations and vis-a-vis the dozens of
"every day" problems we jointly confront in political,
economic or security affairs. Recent events have tested
our friendship , and it has been proven strong and resilient .
Japan has been most helpful in our efforts to gain the
release of the hostages in Iran. Its reaction to the Soviet
invasion of Afghanistan has been principled and courageous.
It has joined with the United States to tighten the COCOM
restrictions on strategic exports to the Soviet Union and
it has decided not to send a team to the Moscow Olympics.
We know these actions have not been without cost, and we are
grateful for what Japan has done. Of all our friends and
allies Japan has been foremost in support of the U.S. and,
incidentally, the nations of East Asia, as a group , have
been our best supporters in boycotting the Olympics .
When you met in Dallas a year ago, the United States
and Japan were just emerging from a period of bitter dispute
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

over trade. Happily, the acrimony has dissipated. I think
Americans now have clearer ideas about the Japanese economy
and about doing business in Japan. Many Americans found
that for most products the Japanese market is freer of
import barriers than they had supposed. Aided by the
depreciation of the dollar, U.S. exports to Japan rose
greatly, by 22 percent in 1978,~ by 36 percent in 1979~ ~ C~·~?.
American businessmen are taking advantage of the fact that O.,·~
the post-MTN Japan of 1980 is not the restricted market of f~iD.
1970. During the last year and a half the U.S. and Japanese
Governments have solved or have moved close to solving many
of the irritating particular trade problems. There are a
number of knotty small problems, but the only major outstand-ing
issue is the inclusion of Nippon Telephone and Telegraph
under the coverage of the Government Procurement Code.
Discussions on this matter continue.
Even during World War II economic planners set about
building an integrated, post-war international economic
system. The system has worked enormously well. As a result
the industrial nations of Europe, North America and Asia are
bound by ties of trade, investment and friendship. However,
we are now recognizing the implications of the economic
progress of the last 30 years, and adjusting to the results
of policies which have in fact been highly successful. The
United States no longer is the predominate economic power.
This means that Japan and Europe must assume shares of the
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 4 -
international economic responsibility commensurate with
their economic power . Japan has begun to do this, and we
hope that it will continue to play a more active role in
the OECD, the GATT and the international financial institutions.
American officials and political and economic
commentators have talked and written quite a lot lately on
the implications for the United States economy of the
competitive, yet integrated international economic system.
The very large trade deficits which the United States
experienced in 1977 and 1978 brought home to Americans that
there are structural problems in our economy. Compared with
other OECD countries, the United States has rather low savings
and investment rates. This has a major effect on the trade
balance and on the international competitiveness of U.S.
Needless to say United States officials are quite aware
of the heavy responsibility the United States has for carrying
out economic policies and encouraging international
economic stability. They realize that imbalances in the
United States ' economic structure can contribute to financial
instability. Accordingly, there is a growing recognition in
the United States of the need for a coherent industrial
policy . Senator Stevenson recently held hearings on the
subject, and in his report pointed out the futility of
protecting declining industries and the necessity of en-
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 5 -
couraging investment 1n the technological industries of
the future. Perhaps the greatest argument in favor of a
revision of the United States attitude toward industrial
policies has come from the semiconductor industry, an
innovative, growing sector which is hungry for capital.
Yet i~apparently has been unable to attract sufficient
investment to sustain its growth. I hope that the U.S.
Government can build on the Stevenson hearings to encourage
the growth of vital, technological industries and thus to
rejuvenate the economy.
The rise in energy prices complicates economic adjustment
and makes it necessary that the industrial nations do
all possible to conserve energy. In that regard it is en-couraging
that the prices of natural gas and petroleum
products are being decontrolled in the United States. It
is also encouraging that the United States and its OECD
partners are working to formulate constructive energy
policies. We cannot forget, however, that economic re-structuring
and the reduction of energy consumption have
very important domestic political aspects.
The revitalization of the United States economy implies
in the short term a reduction of consumption. It also
implies the encouragement of industry which in the
United States is identified with the wealthy. A transfer
of resources from consumption to investment is never popular.
It is very difficult indeed in a time of economic trouble and
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

recession. Nonetheless, thoughtful Americans are increasing-ly
recognizing that economic adjustment is necessary for the
long-term health of the United States economy.
The adjustments of the coming years will require con-siderable
wisdom and ingenuity. It is plain that while
governments are not without these characteristics, neither
do they have a monopoly. We in government look to the
business community for its thoughts and help. The Japan-
United States Businessmen's Conference is an eminent organi-zation
which has been a source of sage advice and comment.
I hope it will continue to be so. During the coming years
there undoubtedly will be disputes over trade matters. I
hope you will offer your suggestions and, more than that, I
hope you will give your support to those in our governments
who seek to maintain a steady course through transitory trade
storms. The United States and Japanese economies are bound
together tightly. The two countries' fundamental economic
and political interests are similar. Though at present the
world economic order is in a state of flux and there are no
clear solutions to the problems we face, Japan and the
United States are working together to maintain a liberal
trading system and to provide an environment conducive to
economic growth. Our governments look to statesmen of the
business community, like you, for advice and for support for
responsible, farsighted economic policies.
Given the vitality of the people of the Pacific Basin,
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 32, Box 2, Folder 1, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 7 -
there is every reason to believe the economic future of the
region will be bright. I am sure that with patience,
discipline, and cooperation the governments and business
communities of this part of the world can solve any economic
problems they face, and strengthen the foundation for
continued prosperity and progress.

Backus Bioclimatic Distribution Center in Piura Is Awarded with the Premio Perú 2021 for Its Innovative Environmental Proposal
28 November 2013
- It has been operating for more than a year and it is expected to be a referent for other companies operating in the area
- The award in the International Business category was awarded to Cervecería Nacional de Ecuador, a subsidiary of SABMiller
Lima, November 26th, 2013.- Backus was recently awarded with the Premio Perú 2021 for Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development within the Environmental category for its Bioclimatic Distribution Center in Piura. This facility was able to reduce the consumption of water and energy, increase the green areas and minimize the generation of wastewater, aspects that generate positive benefits in the environment in which the company operates.
Augusto Rizo Patrón, Backus Vice President of Distribution, pointed out that "the investment in the construction and implementation of this Bioclimatic Distribution Center in Piura is an example that sustainable development is transversal and a priority for Backus; evidence of this is that we have taken advantage of the weather conditions and the resources available in the area to minimize the environmental impact. That is why we are very proud of receiving this award, which demonstrates our commitment to the environment."
Since 2010, the Backus team conceived the idea of building a new distribution center that could consolidate the operations in Piura and Sullana. That's why the company wanted the building to have modern and eco-friendly facilities, so the impact was minimal.
To meet these conditions, the company worked with specialists in Bioclimatic Architecture, which designs buildings considering the climatic conditions of the area. They took advantage of available resources like the sun, vegetation, rain and wind, among other aspects, in order to decrease the environmental impact.
It is worth mentioning that the award in the International Business category went to Cervecería Nacional de Ecuador, a subsidiary of SABMiller like Backus, for its program "Siembra Cebada", (Plant barley). This program wants to enhance the quality of life of the farmers in the provinces of that country: Cachi, Imbabura and Pichincha. During 2012, 650 farmers participated and 1,977 acres of barley were planted.
About Backus:
Union of Peruvian Breweries and Johnston is the brewing industry leader in Peru. It has 5 decentralised production plants in Lima (Ate), Arequipa, Cusco, Motupe and Pucallpa. It also has a malt factory and a mineral water plant. It has a well-segmented portfolio of national and international brands that want to satisfy consumers in more than 180,000 selling points throughout the country.
Backus works with a focus in sustainable development, with the goal of generating shared value with the people that are part of its value chain and the communities in which it operates. That is why all its initiatives and projects want to generate social inclusion and strategic alliances to favour the efforts and achieve a greater impact in economic, social and environmental terms for the society as a whole.

Valpo Men Swept by Northern Illinois
Saturday, February 22, 2003The Valparaiso men's tennis team dropped a non-conference match at Northern Illinois 7-0 on Saturday afternoon in Rockford, Ill.
The Huskies began the contest by sweeping the doubles point. Ben Dunham-Freer (Fort Thomas, Ky./Highlands H.S.) and Jeff Vrabel (Allen Park, Mich./St. Francis Cabrini H.S.) battled at the top spot, before falling 8-6. Chris Widmeyer (Cincinnati, Ohio/Archbishop Moeller H.S.) and Nathan Gordon (Plymouth, Ind./Plymouth H.S.) teamed at second doubles, while Tyler Neemann (Manassas, Va./Stonewall Jackson H.S.) and Mike Menghini (Iron Mountain, Mich./Iron Mountain H.S.) played third doubles for the Brown and Gold. Both duos dropped their matches 8-4.
In singles action Northern Illinois (5-3) won all six matches in straight sets. Dunham-Freer dropped a 6-3, 6-3 contest at the top slot, while Vrabel fell 6-4, 6-4 at second singles. Neemann was blanked 6-0, 6-0 while Widmeyer lost a 6-4, 7-5 match at fourth singles. Gordon was defeated 6-2, 6-1 at fifth singles, while Jay Adams (Detroit, Mich./Andover H.S.) lost the sixth singles match 6-4, 6-1.
Valpo, now 0-4 on the spring season, will return to action on March 7 when the Crusaders head to Kissimmee, Fla. for a neutral site match against Boston College.

The product has good coverage, but it is a little thick and doesn't go on very smoothly. It also doesn't have a pleasant smell.
I can't say one thing bad about this product! I love that it has SPF, the color, and the texture. It applies nicely and leaves skin looking great. I even were this alone sometimes. My skin has certainly improved since starting to use this product.
I loved this- just enough coverage, even for my rosy cheeks- to still feel like you aren't wearing anything at all.
I really like this product - especially when I'm going to be out in the sun for the day. It does it all and really makes my skin look great.
Great color (I'm fair skinned), coverage, and longevity. A small dot on two fingers is all it takes to lightly cover my face. I love it and will surely buy it again.
I was really excited to try the CC cream sample I received, but unfortunately I had such a terrible reaction in my eyes when somehow after applying it to the under eye area, it must've gotten on an eyelash or something and got into my eyes. I'm usually very careful about making certain this doesn't happen, but immediately upon contact my eyes started burning and watering so badly that I had to flush my eyes with cold water and wash the cream off (not so easy when you can't see anything or open your eyes because of the intense burning!). The few minutes that it was on before the reaction, the product seemed to have ok coverage and color, but I'm sticking to my drugstore BB cream instead.
I really enjoyed the sample. It has lasted a long time and is a great shade match for my skin. The best part is that it was lightweight and it still lasted for a long period of time on the skin. It has SPF 40, and being a person who has a convertible with the top down constantly this is a major plus!
I bought a full size because I love the sheen it gives my face. I have received compliments from women since I started to use this product.
I used the sample I received while on a trip. The product looked thick but once applied; it provided great coverage without feeling heavy. What truly amazed me was how long the coverage lasted in hot weather, riding dirt bikes and pulling helmets on and off. Definitely purchasing the full size of this!
I am not a foundation person but found myself wanting more coverage, this stuff is perfect! Gives my skin an airbrushed look and looks so natural. Really easy to apply and actually makes my skin look better even after I take it off!

We, at The Gambia Experience, have always been aware of the impact of tourism on the immediate and worldwide environment, which is why we've always strived to be a 'green' company. We continually endeavor to negate any detrimental impacts our business has on our destinations whilst sustaining long term environmental and social benefits.
We have designated a Sustainable Tourism Manager who monitors our strategies both in our UK office and in our destinations and ensures that staff and customers are aware and involved with sustainable matters.
Having adopted a Sustainable Tourism Policy for our overseas operations, we feel that being responsible in the office is equally as important, in order to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment. We have undertaken an environmental audit of our office practices and encourage employees to consider new ways to reduce the carbon footprint of the office.
We are committed to:
Reducing Waste
Avoiding printing every document, promoting electronic filing, printing double sided where possible.
Use the larger printers - they are more cost efficient.
Scrap paper, batteries (we use rechargeable), we have organised a book swap in the staff room.
We recycle as much as we can but if not possible, try to dispose of things in an environmentally friendly manner. We recycle: Toner cartridges, paper, newspapers, magazines, envelopes, stamps, and cardboard.
Saving Energy / Water
Lights - All lights are turned off at night. We also consider whether we need light on or not during the day and use energy efficient bulbs where possible. Hot Water - Our hot water dispensers are much more efficient than kettles. Air conditioning - This is often necessary but uses a vast amount of energy. So for it to work as efficiently as possible, we keep all windows and doors closed. We endeavour to keep the temperature at no more than 23 degrees and automatically turn off the system at the end of the day. Central Heating - This system automatically turns off at the end of the day. Computers - These are switched off at the end of the day to save electricity and reduce the risk of fire.
Using the lift
As we are based in a second floor office the draw of the lift is inevitable. However, every Friday we ban the use of the lift (except for moving stock and emergencies).
Car Sharing
Sharing a lift to work not only saves money, but more importantly, protects the environment from further pollution. We have also introduced a car share scheme within the Company as well as posted details of the scheme run by Hampshire County Council on our internal intranet.
Bike to Work
The Company has signed up to the Government's Workcycle initiative that encourages employees to cycle to work and enables them to purchase a bike at a reduced rate; this in turn reduces the number of vehicles on the road and their carbon emissions, as well as getting our employees fitter.
Carbon Offset Schemes:
We are committed to working with the Tourism Industry Carbon Offset Service (TICOS), offering our customers the chance to help offset some of the environmental damage aircraft emissions cause. By accepting our Carbon Offset Scheme, a donation will be invested into our Gambian projects, including community tree planting and the manufacturing of low-energy Mayan Turbo Stoves.
School Development Fund:
We actively run the School Development Fund, which supports local communities through the building, renovating and equipping of schools in The Gambia, West Africa. Since the fund was set up in 1989 it has contributed to over 120 school projects.
Resort Offices:
It is our policy wherever possible to recruit local staff in our resort offices and use local suppliers.
Local suppliers:
Where possible we work with our suppliers and encourage them to be more sustainable in all aspects of their business.
We are committed to providing our clients with comprehensive background information on all aspects of our products and destinations and have developed a 'code of conduct' to engender Sustainable Tourism.
