A COLLECTION of Art Nouveau treasures owned by the university is on display in Special Collections until 22 March.
The exhibition features glassware, ceramics, metalware, posters and books from across the collections, including artists and designers whose names are famously associated with the style such as Archibald Knox, Jessie M King and Aubrey Beardsley.
Also on display are some of the most influential journals of the time, including Jugend, The Studio, and The Yellow Book.
The Art Nouveau movement began in the 1880s, and grew until the start of the First World War. Artists such as Klimt, Renie Mackintosh and Beardsley revolted against the strict rules of art that had gone before them and instead took their inspiration from the world around them, taking the famous curved Art Nouveau "whiplash" lines from those seen in plants, flowers and deep-sea creatures.
In addition to the famous lithographs of actress Sarah Bernhardt in the role of Gismonda, noted examples of Art Nouveau include the entrances to the Paris Metro, the jewellery of Rene Lalique and parts of Gaudi's famous Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family, in Barcelona.
The Special Collections Gallery is located on the third floor of the Sir Kenneth Green Library, at All Saints Campus.
The Gallery is open Monday to Friday 10am-4pm, Thursday 10am-7pm and Saturday 12noon-4pm.

Here you will find information about how to plan and how to use IT conferences. Conferences and business trainings are what you make of them. If you don't have a slightest idea why you're going, you're unlikely to get experience out of it. Remember, you get out of a conference as much as you put in.

Serena explains about her stupid deal with Lily last year, and how even if she tried to pull that shit again her Mom probably wouldn't fall for it. "So you're gonna give up on all of this -- on us -- for your Mom?" Serena points out that their relationship is an epic fail on numerous fronts, and Dan's like, "Maybe it would work this time!" because he is his father's son, and Serena tries to explain how this entire season she keeps trying to be friends with him and he keeps fucking it up: "Dan, we're... We're connected. We always will be, but... I'm dating someone else now." Someone vile, but who understands human language.
Blair comes downstairs, just in the nick, and summons Serena. "We need your fashion advice," she says, because apparently the wedding party will be dressing like whores -- Mick and Bianca 1971, don't you know -- and not-too-hatefully asks "Humphrey" what he's doing there, and you already know the answer (this time provided by Serena) and B shrugs and drags Serena off. She's like, "We'll talk after the holidays, where I'll be boning Aaron senseless in a South American summer haze, okay?" Which is what Dan deserves, anyway, even if I wouldn't wish that greasy awful fate on anybody, least of all Serena, and she gives him a good strong hug and then does that Serena thing where she walks a few steps, forgets the conversation is over and turns around, remembers she just said goodbye and hugged the person, and then continues on her way. I love when she does that.
Chuck's reading the big damn secret when Lily comes downstairs and spots him, finally home. "I just can't believe you'd want this to become public knowledge," he says slowly, stretching it out, and Lily goes: "What. Is that." She already knows, so Chuck just folds it up and confirms her fears. "But my Mother..." Chuck explains that CeCe lied to Lily about buying Tyler off, and lied to Tyler about Lily's new leaf. "Judging by the look on your face, I'm guessing it wasn't your idea to come clean." Lily's completely thrown; Chuck doesn't care at all. Hatefully, still seated, taps the secret on the back of the couch. "Next time you see her, I'd ask, but until then I'm more than happy to further her agenda."
Out of options, Lily finally remembers to be human. "Charles, um, I beg you... Please don't turn away from the people that love you. They're the only chance any of us has, and your father never learned that. I hope that you do." He won't look at her, so she turns to go. But she really does love him.

Sinopec to lift less Saudi crude in August
Sinopec's August cuts will be less than that of July; Tianjin to shut crude processing facility; Saudi to supply contracted volume despite higher OSP; Buyers of Iranian crude have choice to seek Saudi supplies
July 9, 2012 5:01 by Eva Fernandes
China's top refiner, Sinopec Corp, will lift less crude from top exporter Saudi Arabia in August, an industry source said on Monday, as it extends cuts for a second straight month.
Typically, oil demand dips in the second quarter in a transition from heating usage to summer gasoline demand in the Northern Hemisphere and many Asian and European refiners carry out planned maintenance. Consumption revives from July as homes and offices burn more energy to run air conditioners.
The cut in imports from Saudi Arabia in August will be less than July, the industry source said, without giving details on the volumes. Imports will fall due to refinery maintenance, he said, declining to be identified because he was not authorised to talk to media.
Tianjin Petrochemical Corp, a unit of Sinopec, plans to shut its 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) crude processing facility and a 1 million tonne per year (tpy) ethylene complex from mid-August until the end of September.
Asia's top refiner, which takes in 80 percent of China's Saudi crude imports, is already cutting production in July for the second month as inventories bulged and margins fell due to slowing demand.
The other two Chinese Saudi crude buyers will lift full contract volumes for August, sources at the refineries told Reuters.
Saudi Arabia will supply full contracted volumes of crude to other Asian term buyers in August, despite an unexpected increase in the official selling price (OSP) this month.
Saudi Arabia has raised the August official selling price (OSP) for its light crude for Asia for July, state run oil firm Saudi Aramco said.
Sources told Reuters than Saudi suppliers will be meeting the term commitments for buyers in Japanand South Korea.
Big buyers of Iranian crude may also ask for extra Saudi supplies if necessary, a source at a north Asian refinery said.
Most big importers of Iranian crude have cut back on their purchases because of tough western sanctions imposed due to concerns over the nation's nuclear program.
Top buyer China is disputing freight costs for shipping crude, while Japan and South Korea have halted all Iranian imports this month. India also plans to reduce July loadings.
Saudi Arabia, the OPEC kingpin, has consistently supplied full contractual volumes to most Asian buyers since late 2009.

Not-So-Sweet 16: Watch Jennifer Lawrence's Now-Infamous MTV Promo (VIDEO)
Before 'Hunger Games' fame, the beauty touted 'My Super Sweet 16.'
For many actors, the story of how they got their Screen Actors Guild card isn't filled with glitz and glamor. In fact, most had to get theirs the hard way -- like, you know, starring in a commercial for an MTV reality show.
Such was the case for Jennifer Lawrence, who revealed this tidbit during her SAG Awards acceptance speech on Sunday.
In light of the big reveal, MTV went ahead and released the two-part promo, which has Lawrence playing a bratty teenager whose sweet 16 party goes horribly wrong.
Among the terrors: having a disco ball fall flat on her cake and falling over during her grand entrance.
Naturally, since the show was about a bunch of bratty and over-privileged kids, Lawrence's character wasn't happy.
But hey, at least she got her SAG card.
On Sunday, Lawrence won the Best Actress SAG for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook. She is expected to win the same award at the Oscars, airing Sun., Feb 24 on ABC.

8/19/2014Perfect! Was able to check my balance remotely and make deposits. Exactly what I needed.
8/3/2014I like this app, it serves its purpose well.
8/3/2014Cannot load transaction details wish it would be fixed.
7/30/2014Having a Windows Phone App was the only reason I went with Ally vs any other bank. Although this app leaves a lot to be desired, this is a good start.
7/26/2014Would be great if wasn't constantly stuck loading... At least I can look at my balance, but that's about it, if I want to see transactions... Oh well
7/25/2014Awesome app. Ally has the best rates! Crazy to keep your money anywhere else.
7/19/2014No mobile bill pay makes this app rather pointless. You can view balances, transfer funds, deposit checks and that's about it. It is only halfway to the basic functionality one would expect of a mobile banking app.
7/9/2014Great when it works, but it sometimes get stuck on the screen that shows your accounts.
7/7/2014This app is easy to use and runs well, but lacks some important features, such as bill pay.
7/7/2014I can never access the details of my checking acct

Blue Bomber Report Record: 6–3–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Blue legend West returns for Jones' induction in Hall
ONE of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' greatest linebackers, James West, is back in Winnipeg to pay tribute to a dear friend and bid farewell to the old stadium.
"My heart still bleeds Blue Bombers blue," said the 54-year-old West, who paid a visit to Canad Inns Stadium during Tuesday's Bombers practice. "I played in Winnipeg for nine years. For some guys, that's a career. I was fortunate to play for the Blue Bombers for nine years."
West, a two-time CFL all-star and two-time Grey Cup winner, is in Winnipeg for the CFL Hall of Fame weekend, which includes the induction of Tyrone Jones, West's former Bombers linebacking corps teammate and one of his best friends. Jones, who died of brain cancer on June 10, 2008 at 46, will be inducted into the CFL Hall of Fame this weekend.
"I'm here for Tyrone," said West, who played for the Bombers in 1985-1992. Jones played for the Bombers in 1983-87 and 1989-91. Together, the pair won the 1990 Grey Cup with the Bombers while West was also part of the 1988 Grey Cup champion Bombers.
"Tyrone was like an 111/2, man (on a one-to-10 scale). Tyrone was born for this game. He was tenacious, he was a pest, he was annoying but boy was he good!" West said, laughing. "We were synonymous with each other. If you saw one, you saw the other. If he went somewhere, I was going to have his back."
The Hall of Fame weekend will include introductions of the inductees on Saturday at halftime of the Bombers-Montreal Alouettes game and the induction dinner Saturday night at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
West, nicknamed Wild West, and Jones were part of a Bombers defence that is legendary for its ferocious pass rush, relentless energy and gregarious personalities.
"It's so many memories. We always knew that we were going to be successful," said West, who makes his home in Atlanta where he works for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
"We had so much confidence, we were beaming with confidence. Our biggest challenge was just with each other. We were so competitive. We used to compete about everything. On and off the field. On the field when we played, it was "I got more sacks than you, I've got more tackles than you or the fans are cheering louder for me."
West said the real secret to success of the Blue Bomber teams of his time was a combination of great leadership in the general manager and coaching roles as well as veteran players.
"We had great leadership. Either it was Paul Robson and Cal Murphy or Cal Murphy and Dave Ritchie or Mike Riley or Urban Bowman," West said. "We always had a good influence of veteran players and they held everybody accountable. The people at the top pretty much just coached because we as the players, we handled everything on and off the field. We hung out together, when somebody got out of line, we handled that. We really didn't get into trouble. If we got into trouble, it was with us (each other)."
West pointed to the Bombers' locker-room door. "If we had a problem, we solved it inside those doors," West said.

Fat trims your waistline
Below is an excellent article from local Swedish paper Corren about this week's SBU report showing that low-carb diets are superior for weight loss. It's particularly pleasing to see so many wise comments from Professor Fredrik Nyström, who was a member of the expert group of the SBU. For Fredrik Nyström the report represents a victory.
- Absolutely. I've been working with this for so long. It feels great to have this scientific report, and that the skepticism towards low-carb diets among my colleagues has disappeared during the course of the work. When all recent scientific studies are lined up the result is indisputable: our deep-seated fear of fat is completely unfounded. You don't get fat from fatty foods, just as you don't get atherosclerosis from calcium or turn green from green vegetables. The time has come for the health care system to learn how to advise patients on a low-carbohydrate diet.
Here's the full article, translated into English:
Butter, olive oil, heavy cream and bacon are not harmful foods. Quite the opposite. Fat is the best thing for those who want to lose weight. And there are no connections between a high fat intake and cardiovascular disease.
On Monday SBU, the Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment, dropped a bombshell. After a two-year long inquiry, reviewing 16,000 studies, the report "Dietary Treatment for Obesity" upends the conventional dietary guidelines for obese or diabetic people.
For a long time, the health care system has given the public advice to avoid fat, saturated fat in particular, and calories. A low-carb diet (LCHF - Low Carb High Fat, is actually a Swedish "invention") has been dismissed as harmful, a humbug and as being a fad diet lacking any scientific basis.
Instead, the health care system has urged diabetics to eat a lot of fruit (=sugar) and low-fat products with considerable amounts of sugar or artificial sweeteners, the latter a dangerous trigger for the sugar-addicted person.
This report turns the current concepts upside down and advocates a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet, as the most effective weapon against obesity.
The expert committee consisted of ten physicians, and several of them were skeptics to low-carbohydrate diets at the beginning of the investigation.
One of them, however, who's been an avid proponent of saturated fat (butter, full fat cream, bacon) since 2006, is Prof. Fredrik Nyström, Linköping, Sweden, and who has at times been scorned and sneered at to the same extent as LCHF's "mother", Dr. Annika Dahlqvist.
For Fredrik Nyström the report represents a victory.
- Absolutely. I've been working with this for so long. It feels great to have this scientific report, and that the skepticism towards low-carb diets among my colleagues has disappeared during the course of the work. When all recent scientific studies are lined up the result is indisputable: our deep-seated fear of fat is completely unfounded. You don't get fat from fatty foods, just as you don't get atherosclerosis from calcium or turn green from green vegetables.
Nyström has long advocated a greatly reduced intake of carbohydrate-rich foods high in sugar and starch, in order to achieve healthy levels of insulin, blood lipids and the good cholesterol. This means doing away with sugar, potatoes, pasta, rice, wheat flour, bread, and embracing olive oil, nuts, butter, full fat cream, oily fish and fattier meat cuts.
- If you eat potatoes you might as well eat candy. Potatoes contain glucose units in a chain, which is converted to sugar in the GI tract. Such a diet causes blood sugar, and then the hormone insulin, to skyrocket.
Moreover, this summer another study on the Mediterranean diet, rich in unsaturated fats (olive oil, avocados, nuts), was published, and was part of the basis for the SBU report.
- It showed that it does more harm to eat a low-fat diet than a high-fat diet. The study also advised drinking wine with the Mediterranean diet. I have long emphasized that a moderate intake of alcohol is beneficial to health and have myself done a study that confirmed a better blood lipid profile from red wine consumption. Thus, alcohol in moderation is not just OK, it's beneficial.
There are many mantras we have been taught to accept as truths:
"Calories are calories, no matter where they come from."
"It's all about the balance between calories in and calories out."
"People are fat because the don't move enough."
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
- Of course these are not true. This kind of nonsense has people with weight problems feeling bad about themselves. As if it were all about their inferior character. For many people a greater intake of fat means that you'll feel satiated, stay so longer, and have less of a need to eat every five minutes. On the other hand, you won't feel satiated after drinking a Coke, or after eating almost fat free, low-fat fruit yogurt loaded with sugar. Sure, exercise is great in many ways, but what really affects weight is diet.
The report states: "physical activity for obese people has a, if anything, marginal effect on weight loss."
But what about breakfast?
- If you can - skip it! This is a habitual behavior, the body has no need for nourishment the minute you get out of bed if you've eaten a high-fat dinner the day before. We make our own glucose from stored protein, and it probably costs a few calories to produce this glucose, which can be one reason why a low-carb diet provides great weight loss. Also skip snacks and any low-fat products. If we were meant to nibble on low-fat foods all day we wouldn't have been equipped with a gall bladder. If you eat two meals daily, with few carbohydrates and plenty of good fats, you'll do just fine. Do like the Mediterranean people. Let a cup of coffee be your breakfast in the morning.
One of Sweden's biggest blogs, Kostdoktorn.se (DietDoctor), is run by physician Andreas Eenfeldt. Since 2007 he's an avid proponent of a low-carbohydrate diet and a debater on how diabetics can greatly reduce their needs for medical intervention, or even avoid it altogether.
- Diabetics should think the same way as all others who suffer health problems from certain foods: avoid them. Less blood sugar-raising food makes diabetics require less blood sugar-lowering medication.
On Monday there were 73,000 visitors to his blog and he marks it as a historic day.
- The SBU report challenges the Swedish health care system. It's time to stop giving people with a weight problem advice that now has been shown to be the worst in tests.
Both he and Fredrik Nyström argue that a paradigm shift, a health care revolution, has to happen.
- Our National Food Agency (the USDA equivalent) has long ignored recent research, and this influences many dietitians. This is very troublesome. As the SBU report is published by one of our most important government agencies, the health care system is almost obliged to follow the SBU report, as it's considered "the law" until disproven. However, how we are going to successfully educate a lot of various "health experts" on how to recommend fewer low-fat products, bread and pasta, I really don't know.

Well, I have been at work for 5.5 hours now, and I have been productive. Slowly, because I have a minor fever, but productive none the less.
My food is within all boundaries. My last seven days still looks good. The dailies are still problematic in carbs (low) and sodium (high), but the weekly average is within range. I find that eating meals made at home are far less likely to have high sodium counts. I have amped up the carbs through rice and beans. They work nicely to get the carbs number up.
I do not feel like going to the gym (fever), so I will, when I get home, do some lightweight dancing to slowish music, and try to get those 8000 steps in that way. No pushing. Just dancing a bit.
Today I got up late and did not have time for breakfast. Grabbed an oatmeal bar and took off for church.
I H ATE getting up late. But does that change my habits? NO!!
However, I did eat the lunch I had planned.
So, some progress today.
yes, yes. I know. I am running late. But I had a HUGE project in mind when I decided to take the Christmas decorations down this weekend.
But, since my word for this year is: Stewardship, I decided that I had to take things well into hand, once again.
The last time that I did an inventory/sort of my Thanksgiving/Christmas decorations was well over 12 years ago - before we moved to this house.
Plus, I have become lazy about getting all the boxes up from the basement every year.
So, I asked my middle daughter to help me. She is bringing boxes up from the basement, and I have carved out some space in the family room to take all things apart, inventory, and repack them in smaller moving boxes. I expect to go from 6 large boxes to 12 medium boxes.
Meanwhile, I am getting some good walking in, going between boxes!
OK. I am going to post my seven-day nutrition report (first time!) 11 January 2013
Calories: met range 4 times, under range 3 times
Fat: met range 5 times, under range 1 time, over range 1 time
Protein: met 3 times, under 4 times
Carbohydrates: met 4 times, under 3 times
However, I was within the range on EVERYTHING on a weekly basis. Ever so barely on protein. WHEW!
Today was a good day at work. Although I had only one court hearing, I was able to spend some quality time with my legal assistant. We worked through some procedural matters, discussed how to approach a routine problem, and celebrated a few successes.
That is, I think, a very good thing!
So far, I am doing well on exercise, food intake, and attitude today. I did, however, have one of those weird "heavy tired" events on the way home, and decided to take a nap when I arrived home. Thus: dinner is NOT simmering on the stove, yet.

Darjeeling Tea is mostly produced with an orthodox method that keeps the leaves whole during the production. When Darjeeling Tea is sold, it is classified by size and quality.
From Thunderbolt Tea and Wikipedia
Cradled in the foothills of the snow covered and towering Himalayan range, this exclusively exquisite Darjeeling Tea is grown in Darjeeling at an altitude ranging from 750 to 2000 metres. The combination of the moist wet and cool climate, the rich fertile soil, the incessant rainfall and the gradually sloping terrain gives a matchless and unique "muscatel" flavour. The manifestation of the individual and distinct flavour comes out specifically during its growing tea season from the month of March to November each year.
FIRST FLUSH DARJEELING (Late February to mid April)
Spring is the season of life, reawakening and freshness. After cold, chilly and the dormant winter months, life takes a new lease in Darjeeling with the Darjeeling First Flush, and this is also apparent with the appearance of new tender shoots on the tea shrubs with its delicate, fragile and grey-green sheen on the leaves. The tea liquor is characterized by a light translucent color and a mild astringent flavor that impart a lively character to the tea. The distinctive feature of this "First Flush Darjeeling Tea" is a fragrant floral aroma and a bright lime-greenish eminence of infused leaves.
SECOND FLUSH DARJEELING (May to June)
The production of the world renowned "summer tea" or Second Flush Darjeeling Tea is produced from the month of May. The Second Flush Darjeeling results from the luscious, moist and juicy leaves characterized by very enticing facade with a turquoise, purplish bloom and a touch of shimmering shiny apex (buds). The infused tea leaves are more vivid in its color and appearance than that of spring. It is characterized by mature and a mellow brew. It is during this period that the famous "Darjeeling Muscatel" flavor becomes pronounced. This period expresses a full bodied aroma with its infused tea leaves of bright copper or purplish tinge.
MONSOON TEAS (July to September)
The "Monsoon Darjeeling Tea" forms the bulk of 'breakfast blend' for it has more colour and is much stronger in its brew and appearance. The teas picked during the rainy season are thought to hold too much water. Some tea connoisseurs have the habit of taking this tea with a little bit of milk added, but this is totally on personal likings.
AUTUMN FLUSH DARJEELING (October to November)
In the months of October and November the "Autumnal flush tea quality" makes its prominence felt. The tea liquor imparts a delicate, yet a silvery and glimmering character and the appearance lends a light brownish tinge or gentle copper glow. This Autumn Flush Darjeeling Tea has a delightfully distinct feature and taste completely differs from that of First Flush and the Second Flush teas. The infused tea leaves has a golden coppery hue with an aromatic and fresh fragrance.
From Tunderbolt Tea

Facebook reportedly in talks to buy social mapping service WazeWaze, the social mapping and traffic service that Apple once recommended as a potential alternative to its own iOS Maps solution, is reportedly in talks with Facebook about a possible acquisition by the networking giant.
Facebook could pay as much as $1 billion for Waze, according to two unnamed sources who spoke with Bloomberg. Talks between the two companies are not final, those people said, and could eventually fall apart.
The move would allow Facebook to compete with the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nokia and others who have their own mapping solutions.
There were rumors early this year that Apple was potentially interested in buying Waze to bolster its own Maps application for iOS, but those claims turned out to be inaccurate. Apple did, however, promote Waze as a potential alternative when the company apologized to customers who felt that Apple's new mapping solution, which debuted in iOS 6, was substandard.
Waze is available for iOS as a free download on the App Store. The company claims more than 30 million people use the service as a "fun, community-based traffic & navigation app."
With Waze, users share real-time information on traffic congestion, gas prices, accidents, speed traps, checkpoints and more. Some data is automatically reported by simply having the iPhone application open while driving.

Lineups for Monday are posted on the golf web page. This is a make-up match from a rain-out on 5/5. Needless to say, it's a rematch from last week. The results will determine who finishes 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Teams 4 and 6 have earned first round byes when the play-offs begin.
The results from last Monday had no close battles. In the first match, Team 1, led by Dennis Miner(15 pts) got past Team 5 60-40. In the second match, Team 4 had all players scoring double-digit points for a total of 74. Stephanie Dixon(44) led the Yikes with 19 of those points. In the third match, Team 6 led by Chris Dreyfuss(38) and Dave Buckle(18 pts) beat Team 3 69-31.
All teams are reminded to have a sub ready to play if needed.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Mark C. Alexander Good old fashioned elbow grease. Health Care Day in D.C. tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1387473 2012-03-30T13:03:38-04:00 2012-05-30T05:12:01-04:00 Mark C. Alexander http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-c-alexander/ The stakes are high, no doubt. On the legal side, the Court is debating deep issues of the power of Congress to regulate, the proper scope of the federal government, the fundamental processes of constitutional litigation, and more. Underneath it all is a promise to tens of millions of Americans who lack access to basic, affordable health care. After a long decline spanning two presidencies, we are just now seeing the economy pick up. It seems as though the slide has bottomed out, but the bottom is deep and the American people are still feeling the effects. Unemployment, high gas prices, and foreclosures are just a few of the indicators. And the cost of health care is increasingly crippling. So the debate is all about how we live in America. I was amazed at the range of interest, passion and emotion -- democracy at work. I ran into a bunch of folks from South Jersey who had come in for the day, to attend a rally and to visit their senator, Bob Menendez. Susan, a retired teacher was adamant that the government just doesn't belong in this area, and she wasn't going to be quiet about it. She cherished the right to speak, and she was committed to exercising it. "When I come here I can be a little less hopeless." She very much appreciated having speech rights on this day, and in this time of significant debate and controversy. In my cab ride across town, Adebe, originally from Ethiopia, but seven years in this country, just took it all in and enjoyed the crowd: "When it's busy by the Capitol, then it's good for cabbies!" And busy it was. In Ebenezer's Coffee House on Capitol Hill a group of 30-something year-old men in their khakis and dress shirts on a coffee break tried to prognosticate. They debated the merits, one opining on past Court precedent, another wondering how Justice Kennedy would swing, and another hoping for anything other than a 5-4 split that could be dismissed along political lines. He questioned the Court's legitimacy when it appears they are just doing political bidding -- in this case, and in general. I visited with Arkansas Senator John Boozman, and he summed up the core concern very well. "I voted against it, and I voted to repeal it. The American people like this even less as time goes forward. So I hope the Court overturns it. But if so, what do we put in its place? The system we have isn't working, and we have to come up with something." I remember working with Ted Kennedy almost 25 years ago, and one day I was ranting about how I was upset that there were so many uninsured Americans (a fraction of the number today). He sat back and smiled, indulging my youthful, idealistic soliloquy. When I paused and finally took a breath, his warm smile spread across his face, and with eyes twinkling he said, "What do you think I've been working on for 25 years?" So another quarter-century has passed since that day. And where are we? I am proud that I have stayed involved in government and politics, while rooted in my life as a law professor. And I am proud that I worked as Policy Director on Barack Obama's presidential campaign, helping to craft a health care plan. The plan from the campaign was not the same as what was passed and signed into law, but I was hoping that it would bring about change that has been too long in waiting. Generations of Americans have waited. Countless Americans have died too soon for want of health insurance, been bankrupted by medical bills, or denied coverage they thought they had. So while I don't agree with Sen. Boozman in his desire to repeal the law, I do agree with his central concern -- the people aren't happy with the status quo. I hope the Congress and the president are ready to respond, whatever the Court says. Regardless of the final proclamation from the Court, the stakes are too high, and the need is too pressing to ignore.]]> Politics Getting In the Way of Policy tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1284902 2012-02-17T18:03:00-05:00 2012-04-18T05:12:01-04:00 Mark C. Alexander http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-c-alexander/ Some of this is not surprising. American government is inefficient by design. Whatever the president does, he usually has to convince Congress to cooperate. On Capitol Hill, if the House acts, the Senate still has to concur. The Senate itself is built to be particularly slow, with long terms for senators and filibusters and other procedural maneuvers that are designed to make things go slowly. Legend has it that George Washington told Thomas Jefferson that he supported the creation of the Senate, to "cool" House legislation, just as a saucer can cool hot tea. And if the president and Congress make progress, then there's always the court system to keep checks on their excesses. That's all to say that our system is not designed to work quickly or expeditiously. Checks and balances take time; we gain stability at the expense of speed and efficiency. But nowadays, things in Washington are way beyond inefficient. We are in a place where politics is being placed above policy -- and that's a problem. In other words, our elected officials are not living up to their obligation to put the needs of the people and the country above all else. While there are serious political and philosophical debates to be had over the role of government these days, we are hardly hearing much about that. No wonder congressional approval ratings are hovering around the single-digit level. And ultimately, this has dangerous consequences. We are just now coming out of the worst economic downturn in 75 years. Our economy, while recovering, is still shaky. People still worry about their jobs. Many are unemployed. Many others are underemployed, or worried about whether their jobs are going to be there tomorrow. Many no longer have their life savings. Foreclosure signs still litter our neighborhood homes. And yet Congress has hardly made progress on things that really matter, for people who are feeling the effects. There's not really a good time for Washington to be at a political stalemate, but this is definitely a bad time. As the people of America are hurting, they want -- and need -- action. Instead they get rhetoric and partisanship. I have been interviewing a large number of U.S. Senators for a project I'm working on, and many of them have told me that they see politics winning over policy, obstruction over the real needs of real people. And some worry, in discussing the harsh realities of daily life for so many Americans, that inaction could ultimately destabilize the country. As so many people live in hard times and demand action, they don't see their elected officials taking concrete steps to resolve their pressing problems. That is a recipe for disaster. The people need help. But they feel they aren't getting it. They don't see the leadership they want to enable us to pull ourselves up and out of the challenges we face, together. So congressional approval ratings are low, and more importantly, the American people feel even more distressed, more disenfranchised, more worried. The Tea Party and the "Occupy" movements reflect that sentiment. Their full-throated protests allow the people to vent their frustration, as a safety valve. But the country is at a boiling point, and the inaction in Washington is pushing the water over the top. As the people suffer, the heat rises, and the solutions aren't yet clear. But the damage is. Our government in Washington isn't going away. But the American people can hardly wait for the politicians to act decisively. ]]> Health Care -- It's About Time tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.508761 2010-03-23T11:13:44-04:00 2011-05-25T15:55:20-04:00 Mark C. Alexander http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-c-alexander/ I remember a conversation from one day in the first weeks of working for Sen.

I had been working on Capitol Hill for a couple of years following graduation from college, and I was full of youthful wide-eyed idealism. I had been working on health care reform, and I went to Kennedy and vented about the disgrace that I saw: over 25 million Americans without health insurance. I told him I couldn't understand how we could be in this situation and that I thought we had to push hard on our message of health care reform. With that little rant behind me, I waited for the Senator's reaction. "What do you think I've been working on for the last 25 years?" he replied as a warm and friendly smile spread across his face. He spent his career pushing to improve access to health care for all Americans -- it was the cause of his life. A dozen years later, I was Policy Director for Bill Bradley on his presidential campaign, and we placed the issue front-and-center. This time we were looking at around 40 million uninsured. I remember as he told the story of a woman named Cathy Perry, who he met in New Hampshire. At the time, her husband was working two jobs, and she was working one, to support their four growing children. But still they had no health insurance. One day Cathy took their young son to the doctor, for a sore throat. As she paid the receptionist at the end of the visit, her son said "I'm sorry, Mom." For what?" she asked back. He replied, "For getting sick." Every time that Bill Bradley told the story, he would finish with the basic truth that no child in America should ever have to apologize for getting sick. But in our country, we have not lived in a reality where health care is uniformly available and affordable. So when I became Policy Director for Barack Obama, at the beginning of his presidential campaign, the problem was still there. The same problem that Ted Kennedy had been fighting since he went to Washington in the early 1960s. The same problem that Kennedy and I talked about in his office in 1988. The same problem that Bill Bradley and I pressed in the 2000 campaign. The only thing that had changed was the numbers -- millions more every year were uninsured and under-insured. So we set out to draw up a good plan for health care reform. But beyond the details, the top priority was to push for a new politics where we could actually get something done. This legislation will do a lot in the area of costs, accessibility, pre-existing conditions, and more. But is not perfect -- legislation rarely is perfect. But it is a huge, positive step forward for our country. We have a long road ahead, but we are today declaring that we are a nation where all of us will have the opportunity to obtain basic, affordable quality health care. In this, the greatest country on earth, we owe ourselves nothing less. The time has finally come. ]]> The Politics of Dialect and Race as a Social Construct tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2010:/theblog//3.428900 2010-01-19T18:57:06-05:00 2011-05-25T15:15:20-04:00 Mark C. Alexander http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-c-alexander/ I have spoken before predominantly African-American audiences in Newark and elsewhere throughout the country and have wondered how I should speak. What sort of cadence? What accent? What dialect? Should I speak with the musical, inspirational flourishes of the mighty African-American preachers like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., their voices rising like great waves, and crashing down with calls for doing God's work here on earth? Or perhaps in the style of leading African-American politicians of my father's generation, in the great oral tradition, with calm authority and a touch of defiance? Or should I adopt the more modern rhythms found in so many African-American communities today? Meanwhile, in front of another Newark audience -- my Criminal Procedure class at Seton Hall Law School -- most of my students are white. Each semester, I show Jay-Z's video of his song, 99 Problems, as he raps about getting stopped by cops. I love rap. And Jay-Z is the master. But in class I consciously avoid speaking in his rhythmic lyric. Instead, I hold forth in my "law professor" cadence, discussing the Supreme Court's case law. Every day, every situation is a little different. But I always want to communicate effectively. So does President Barack Obama. Just listen to tapes of him from different locations across the country, either as a candidate or as President. As we were out on the campaign trail in the primaries, especially when he was trying to introduce himself to the public, he would say that he had a father from Kenya, a mother from Kansas, and was raised in Hawaii -- and that explained his accent. But no doubt, when we were in Iowa, he sounded more like a Chicagoan with Kansan roots.In Black churches, his voice rose and fell like a preacher. And in New Hampshire, he maybe sounded a little more like a man who studied at Harvard Law. Why? Because he wanted to communicate. To get through to others. We all do. It is, after all, why we speak in the first place. All of us do this every day, regardless of who we are or where we stand in society. We routinely modulate our voices and our cadences to suit the sensibilities of the people with whom we are communicating. We do it because it's one of the most effective ways of establishing a common ground, for a richer dialogue. In the course of my own work in law and politics, I have spoken before endlessly varied audiences. With labor union members, I probably shift my tone and vocabulary in one direction; before seniors, I move another way; before supporters at rallies, there's another voice. I have spoken at political events from New Hampshire across to California, swinging through Iowa on the way back home to Jersey, picking up phrases and intonations along the way. I have been in New Jersey's cities, in countless suburbs, and down the shore. As each of my three children grows, from blank-slate newborns to know-everything teenagers, I continually search for the best way to get through to them. As my hair grays, "Teenage dialect" may be the thorniest communications challenge I've faced. So it is that the latest commotion about dialects -- the controversy over Sen. Harry Reid's (D-Nevada) comments on how President Obama speaks -- reminds me that for African-Americans how we communicate inevitably gets caught up in questions of who we are and what it means to be a person of color in this country. To many African-Americans, I am "not Black enough" in my speaking style. But on the other hand, for my whole life I have run in many circles where I have been one of a small number of African-Americans. In those settings I have been wary of my perhaps precarious presence and keenly aware of the impact of language. And so I have chosen my words carefully, taking on that very local vernacular -- of an Ivy League School, a federal court, or the United States Senate. When I worked as General Counsel for Newark Mayor Cory Booker in his 2006 campaign, the long-time incumbent Sharpe James and his supporters attacked the street cred of the young challenger. Booker had grown up in mostly-white suburban New Jersey and was educated at Stanford, Oxford and Yale. In both his losing and winning campaigns, James referred to him as a "faggot white boy;" rumors circulated that Booker was Jewish; and flyers tried to connect him with the KKK and New Jersey's white Republican establishment. On the other hand, James's supporters praised their candidate as "The Real Deal." Race is a social construct. A story, perhaps apocryphal, recounted by historian Barbara Fields, has it that a white American journalist once asked Papa Doc Duvalier, the ruthless Haitian dictator, what percentage of his country's inhabitants were white. "Ninety-eight percent," Duvalier replied. Incredulous, the journalist asked again and got the same response. The journalist tried to clarify the matter by asking how Duvalier defined "white." Duvalier flipped the question back to him: "How do you define 'black' in your country?" Anyone with any black blood was considered black. Duvalier nodded and responded: "Well, that's the way we define 'white' in my country." African-Americans run a spectrum of skin tones, all of which carry their own labels--blue-black, high-yellow, cream-in-your-coffee. It defines us in some ways, and reflects the varying racial mix we find in African-American life. Growing up, I always loved the fact that my grandfather was Jamaican--it gave me another homeland, an island identity. Thanks in large part to my mother's dogged historical research, I also have learned of all kinds of other family roots. My American-born grandfather's parents were in the founding family of Tuskegee University; one great-great grandfather, "Nigger Jack" Bond came to the U.S. from Liverpool England to join in America's war against slavery; other ancestors had an illegal, and therefore covert, relationship (he was white and she was black) which was made possible by a secret door in their home. Somewhere down that long, winding lineage came me and my sister. She, my father, my mother and I are all "light-skinned," but all with different hues. People still take different cues from varying skin tones, much in the same way they take different cues from various speech patterns. There's little we can do to change our skin tones but modulating how we speak is something we can control. I'm not sure exactly what Harry Reid intended when he said President Obama spoke "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one" but it's not an entirely false observation either: the President has found different voices for different audiences and we've all seen him do it. It's not because he's trying to "pass" - to use that timeworn, painful characterization applied to blacks trying to fit in by adopting the mannerisms of the larger white community. It's because he's trying to communicate more effectively. He's trying to build bridges through the magical, unpredictable use of language. For me, Reid's words made me reflect on another question: what do I call myself? When I was born in 1964, society called me a Negro. Growing up, I was Black (and proud). Now, African-American is the preferred term. Did Reid really use the term "Negro dialect?" Just typing this phrase on my laptop, I feel the absurdity, but however absurd, it's more outdated than anything else. "Harry, Please!!" Reid's comments may fuel the fire of a still regrettably polarized political environment, but racial identity simply isn't monolithic, and there is some truth in his words -- hopelessly archaic or insensitive as they may be. An open dialogue about the reality behind this episode can help our nation as we struggle to better understand race -- and ourselves -- in America. Mark C. Alexander, professor of law at Seton Hall University School of Law, was Policy Director and Senior Advisor to Barack Obama's presidential campaign. He is working on a book about race, politics and generational change in America. ]]>

My mistake is I kept sayin' "that was proof that God didn't exist"

from The Roots (Ft. Amiri Baraka) – Something in the Way of Things (In Town) Lyrics on Genius
We often try to disprove God's existence by citing evil as proof that he is not there; because how could god allow people to suffer if he existed. Bad things do not disprove god however, they merely prove the existence of the devil.

Mata Nui is home to many beings, both good and evil.
Mata Nui is an island paradise, full of locations to explore.
Many things come to pass on Mata Nui - for good or ill.
Several races of sapient beings exist in the world of the BZPRPG.
Welcome to the BZPRPG Wiki! This Wiki is dedicated to chronicling the official BZPower text-based Bionicle RPG. All players in the BZPRPG are welcome to come and edit.
23rd June, 2014: The Lorebook
We're doing some spring-cleaning over at the BZPRPG Wiki. As most people who've been on the Wiki will have noticed, a lot of important information is out-of-date or missing, and the organisation of articles isn't totally clear and thus appears somewhat jumbled, so navigation can be difficult. Now, we're creating a project to solve that. It's called 'Lorebook'. The Lorebook will consolidate the pages that have relevance to most players (major locations, events, species, staff plot stuff etc) and make sure they're given priority, kept up-to-date and written to a high standard. The Lorebook will also serve another purpose. We're going to stylise it like an actual book, divided into volumes and chapters on different topics. Each page will still be a regular, standalone Wiki page, but it will also have a header and footer with links to, say, the contents and adjacent pages for ease of navigation. Once complete, the Lorebook will essentially be an everything-you-need-to-know guide to the BZPRPG, which will be useful to new players who want to get a proper grip on the game-world, for returning players who want to catch up on the core stuff without trawling through forum history, or indeed for general reference. To make sure that the Lorebook is put together in a thorough and organised way, I'd like to ask that anybody who would like to help contact me first (PM or Skype) so that our efforts can be properly coordinated. People with a good grip on BZPRPG lore and a familiarity with the Wiki would be most useful, but of course the only requirement is a little enthusiasm!
What is the BZPRPG?
The BZPRPG (BZPower Roleplaying Game) is the official text-based Bionicle RPG of BZPower. This Wiki chronicles the characters, events, locations and more that appear in the rich and complex world of the RPG's third incarnation - known by some as "BZPIII".
Set in the Endless Ocean on the island of Mata Nui and the recently-revealed Kentoku Archipelago, in a world where the Toa Mata failed to defeat Makuta, the BZPRPG has followed the events of the struggle against Makuta, his eventual defeat at the hands of a new Toa Team, the uneasy peace that followed, and now first contact between the peoples of Mata Nui and the Dasaka of Kentoku.

Demetra Investment, the primarily Cyprus-invested public company with a portfolio in equities and real estate, saw a significant turnaround last year, despite the gloomy situation in the market following the write-down of local bank stocks and the Eurogroup-imposed bailout plan.
Demetra announced that profits attributable to shareholders rocketed to EUR 8.4 mln from a loss of 3.4 mln in 2012, mainly due to the performance of many of its portfolio stocks, including a 15% stake it acquired in Hellenic Bank last year at a cost of EUR 20 mln.
After the write-down of its Bank of Cyprus shares by 99% and the write-off of its holdings in Laiki Bank, that has since been closed down, the fund's revenue from dividends were drastically reduced by nearly two thirds to EUR 208,000.
Demetra's net asset value as at the end of December 2013 was 76.47c, with a profit per share of 4.19c. However, the fund is not expected to announce any dividend for the time being, but market analysts are confident that Demetra will enjoy a further improvement in its portfolio as the Cyprus Stock Exchange starts to pick up and other investments, such as a 20% stake in two desalination units, begin output.
The poor levels of rainfall throughout winter has led to water levels at the island's dams dropping to about 51% of capacity, compared to 88% this time last year. This means that the local water boards will be obliged to buy more water from the Larnaca and Limassol desalination plants in order to meet consumer and agricultural demand.
Demetra also has a handful of properties it manages, a sector that saw EUR 4.8 mln losses, despite steady revenue streams from some tenants. It also has a 10% stake in the Elea Golf Estate.
The fund's main shareholder is the Cooperative group, which has been nationalised after a 1.5 bln euro bailout and in the process of being restructured. The Coop holds close to a 20% stake, with Logicom a further 6%, smaller stakes by strategic investors and the rest is in the hands of some 150,000 shareholders.

NOAA: greater chance of a below-average hurricane season
- 11:36 am Thursday, August 7th, 2014 by Eliot Kleinberg
Even as the meat of the 2014 hurricane season begins, federal weather forecasters said Thursday there's even a greater likelihood it will be below normal than they'd predicted before its June 1 start.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration called for a 70 percent chance of a below-average season, compared to the 50-50 chance it gave on May 22.
NOAA gave a 25 percent chance of a near normal season and only a 5 percent chance of an above normal one. The May 22 numbers were 40 and 10.

Hurricane team sticks with below-average forecast
- 10:10 am Thursday, July 31st, 2014 by Eliot Kleinberg
With the serious part of the hurricane season about to begin, the soothsayers at Colorado State University said this morning they're sticking with their June 1 forecast of a below-average season.
The team's predicting 10 named storms, with four of them becoming hurricanes, and one growing to a "major" storm, of Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Scale, with top sustained winds of at least 111 mph.
Historically, the season starts to heat up around Aug. 1, with systems now inclined to form far out in the Atlantic, giving them plenty of time to feast on waters grown [More]
Now the height of hurricane season begins

Chances are you didn't think a whole lot about hurricanes the first two months of the season. Now's the time to take it seriously.
With the start of August comes the height of the season. Now is the time when storms are more likely to form off in the central and eastern Atlantic Ocean, giving them plenty of time to feast on what's now bathtub-warm water as they move thousands of miles towards the North American coast.
Traditionally, about two-thirds of hurricanes form in August and September, according to the

First storm surge maps posted for Arthur
- 10:18 am Wednesday, July 2nd, 2014 by Eliot Kleinberg
The new experimental maps showing potential storm surge are up and running for Tropical Storm Arthur.
The National Hurricane Center posted the first maps this morning for the Atlantic coastline from Florida's Space Coast to southeastern North Carolina.
The goal of the maps, hurricane center director Rick Knabb told a session of the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando in April, "is to enhance the real-time communication of the hazard. To give it more visibility and able communicators and emergency managers to have more tools in the box."
The hurricane center has said the graphic will be updated every six hours, and will [More]

Melissa now a tropical storm in north Atlantic
- 10:52 am Wednesday, November 20th, 2013 by Associated Press
Melissa has transitioned to a tropical storm as it moves rapidly over the north Atlantic.
The storm's maximum sustained winds Wednesday are near 60 mph (95 kph) with little change in strength expected during the next day. But the storm is expected to begin losing tropical characteristics after that.
Melissa is centered about 1,115 miles (1,860 kilometers) west of the Azores and is moving east-northeast near 30 mph (48 kph).
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Wednesday that large swells from the storm will likely continue affecting parts of the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas. The swells can [More]

Tropical Storm Jerry weakening in the Atlantic
- 8:42 am Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 by Associated Press
Tropical Storm Jerry is weakening as it swirls over the Atlantic.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center says the storm's maximum sustained winds early Tuesday have decreased to near 45 mph (75 kph). But forecasters say some fluctuations in strength are possible over the next two days.
The storm is centered about 1,310 miles (2,110 kilometers) east of Bermuda and is nearly stationary. A slow, erratic motion is expected during the day.
Jerry is the 10th tropical storm of the Atlantic season.
