George Will: GOP must improve the primaries
The nation reveres the Framers, but long ago abandoned the presidential selection process they considered so important that they made it one of the four national institutions created by the Constitution, hence the significance of the Republican National Committee's suggested reforms for the 2016 process.
University of Virginia professor James Ceaser says the four national institutions the Framers created were Congress, the Supreme Court, the presidency and the presidential selection system based on the Electoral College. The fourth, wherein the selection of candidates and election of a President by each state's electors occurred simultaneously - they were the same deliberation - soon disappeared.
Since the emergence of the party system in the 1790s and the ratification of the 12th Amendment in 1804, candidates have been selected by several different processes. First by their party's congressional caucuses; then by nominating conventions controlled by the party's organizations; then by conventions influenced by primaries and caucuses (Vice President Hubert Humphrey won the 1968 Democratic nomination without entering any primaries); and, since 1972, entirely by primaries and caucuses that have made conventions nullities.
Now, responding to the fact that the 2012 nomination process was ruinously protracted, the RNC suggests reforms that might, like many improvements, make matters worse. This is because of a prior "improvement" - campaign finance reform.
The RNC suggests a shorter nominating season with fewer debates - none earlier than Sept. 1, 2015. The 20 debates in 2012 were actually one fewer than in 2008. But in 2000, there were 13. In 1988, seven. In 1980, just six. The May 5, 2011, debate was eight months before the Iowa caucuses. In 1980, the first was 16 days before Iowa voted.
The RNC report does not challenge the role of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada in beginning the delegate selection. Perhaps it is not worth the trouble to challenge these states' anachronistic entitlement; like all entitlements, it is fiercely defended by the beneficiaries. But a reform process that begins by accepting this crucial component of the status quo substantially limits possibilities. By the time these four states have had their say, the field of candidates often has been considerably - and excessively - winnowed, and the outcome is, if not settled, given a trajectory that is difficult to alter.
Supporters of Sen. Rand Paul, or of any other candidate thoroughly unenthralled by the policies and procedures that have resulted in Republicans losing the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, are understandably suspicious of any proposed changes that might tilt the nomination process against the least known and less-lavishly funded candidates. They are especially apt to squint disapprovingly at the RNC's suggestion of regional primaries.
The party, however, must balance two imperatives. One is the need to enlarge the number of voters participating in the process, hence the suggestion that primaries should replace all nominating caucuses and conventions - events where ideologically motivated activists and insurgent candidates can more easily predominate.
The party's second imperative is to preserve opportunities for less-known and financially challenged candidates to break through. This is where government restrictions on campaign contributions restrict the range of candidates from which voters can choose.
Existing restrictions on large contributions to candidates are commonly called "post-Watergate" reforms. This is more accurate as a matter of chronology than causality. Democrats began advocating contribution as well as spending limits years before Watergate concluded in 1974. They were appalled that large contributions from a few wealthy liberals made possible Eugene McCarthy's 1968 anti-war insurgency against President Lyndon Johnson, and propelled George McGovern's doomed nomination in 1972.
Suppose political contributing were deregulated, which would deregulate political speech, the dissemination of which is the principal use of campaign contributions. This would make it easier to design a more compressed nominating process, with a reduced role for the first four states, which also would allow marginal candidates a financial opportunity to fight their way into the top tier of candidates.
Anyway, tinkering with the party's political process is no substitute for improving the party's political substance. No nominating process featuring an array of candidates as weak and eccentric as the Republicans' 2012 field would have produced a much better result. So the party must begin whatever 2016 process it devises by fielding better candidates, which should not be so difficult.

3.43/5 rDev -6.5%
Poured from a bomber into a HotD Tulip on 2/23/11.
Pours a medium golden amber with a finger of head of off frothy white head. After the head dissipates it leaves the littlest of fine white lacing.
Smells of fresh citrus hops but the smell is not as strong as I had hoped it to be.
Taste does have a strong hop presence but the malt really stands out in this one. The taste actually reminds me of a really fruity barley wine that was just bottled and the hops are still kickin around.
Mouthfeel is very smooth. For a fresh hop IPA I expected it to have more resin after taste left in my mouth after the swallow but this has almost no after taste at all.
Drinkability is moderate. Its a good beer but I don't find anything spectacular about it. It does have a good ABV for a good round of drinking(6.6) but Terrapin would have to do some tweaking if this ever was turned into more then just a one off. It could however be a very good choice as a base for a IPA/DIPA tasting.

Poured into an imperial pint glass a slight hazed copper /bronze with a nice tight formed one finger white head,some faint pine and light toasted caramel malt notes in the nose,a little tame in my opinion.First thing I noticed when drinking is the near watery feel to the beer,it took away from the flavors,mild pine and citrus hop flavors meld with a biscuity malt base with neither really getting the upper hand.Eh this is not one of the better fresh hop ales out there,its not horrific its just a little to simple I think.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. I wanted to get my hand on this one when it first came out finally found it just wish I could have had it fresh.
A: Poured a murky amber with a small tan head that dissipated quickly.
S: Little to no Hop smell came through to me, but a lot of maltyness.
T: Taste was the same as smell very little to no Hop flavor. I am hoping this is due to the fact that this was a little on the old side by the time I found it.But the malty flavor that came through was very smooth and tasty.
M: A medium bodied smooth drinking beer that was a little heavy on carbonation.
O: I wish I could have tasted this fresh cause I probably would have tasted a completely different beer, but that is what I get for buying an IPA that was released about 8 months ago. Just couldn't pass up a Terrapin Beer that made reference to Outkast.

This beer has a deep amber color with foamy, but quickly dissolving head. Good lacing. As for the smell, hops are evidently there, but they're not terribly overwhelming. Some citrus. Taste-wise, I was expecting a little more pizzazz. There's a muted bitterness to this medium bodied beer, but it didn't blow me away. In my opinion its still a slightly above average IPA, maybe good for a change of pace every once in a while, but nothing that would drag me away from my current favorites.

Served in a mug.
A - Clear copper color very little head that dissipated immediately.
S - Strong citrus with a hint of pine
T - Good taste strong citrus hops with a bitter finish, almost too bitter, as you would expect from an IPA very slight hint of alcohol at the end.
M - Light feel slightly flat.
O - Overall a pretty good IPA. Very strong citrus hops which is what Terrapin intended. I felt that the overall flavor could have been better balance. Worth a try.

I feel like I am being overly generous with my review of this obviously apparent heavy malt backbone "ipa" seeing that it is only slightly hoppier than most british IPA's. The smell is extremely lacking in an IPA that I would suggest nor imbibe religiously while the taste is like that of a false nutty caramel. Overall, very disappointed with this 'ipa' from what I have come to expect from Terrapin Brewing.

Deep copper ruby hue with a bright white head forming thick and leaves behind fine speckled lacing going down the sides of the glass. Aroma has pine, citrus, mildly minty hops. Not overtly hoppy but a nice green minty/pine/citric finish that doesn't overpower is found between waves of caramel hops within this beer. Sugar coated malts exist here lying between layers of sugary caramel malts and green vinous layers of fresh hops. I get tones of mint/herbs/and citric pine hop accents, this is no big hop character like a west coast IPA but it's a nice consistent vegetable green flavor going down. Full of chlorphyll flavor with a mild caramel malt content booze are hidden well. Mouthfeel is medium to light bodied carbonation is even nothing to write home about. Drinkability is solid go for it, drink while it is still fresh.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a clear light copper color with a one-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of pale malts with large amounts of herbal hops and lighter amounts of earthy and light citrus notes.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Moderately dry pale malt flavors kick things off and quickly give way to equal amounts of herbal and earthy hop flavors. Midway through the sip slight amounts of light citrus and leafy notes join in, carrying through to a solidly bitter and somewhat dry ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass without a problem and could have another.
Overall this wasn't a spectacular beer but I thought it was well-balanced and did a nice job of showcasing earthy and herbal hop aromas and flavors. Worth a shot.

First growler pour into a standard pint glass. Body is a nice orange / copper color with 2 fingers of head that leaves nice lacing behind. A nice combination of citrus and pine hop aromas, does smell quite fresh as you'd expect. Tastes follows inline with the nose, just not as strong (unfortunately). Its tasty, just not as citrusy as the smell led me to believe. Medium bodied, plenty of carbonation, and easy drinking. It was nice to try this one, but not quite as flavorful as other fresh hop beers Ive tried.

Pours a look typical for the style, with a slightly hazed copper-orange-rust liquid sporting healthy bubble motion that feeds a fluffy off-white head. Lace sticks then slides immediately down the wall of the glass, with only a little of it sticking permanently.
Unsurprisingly for a fresh hop beer, the smells is fragrant, perfume-like, crisp, clean, breezy, pine-laden, pithy, citrus-rind goodness.
The taste is just what you might expect, being an extremely clean, breezy dose of hop-forward flavor, dangling somewhere between lemon rind and evergreen tips. Malt is quite subtle, having the mildness of a water cracker, present and pleasing but very much in a supporting role. It is to the hops what the cracker is to the pungent Roquefort cheese. Pretty dry and not much left in the finish other than a quick flash of lemon/lime zest.
Feel is tingly from carbonation but tempered by a medium body with just a tad of stick to it. Round enough, smooth enough, nice enough.
What's the problem? Seems this one is a little underrated. It's no hop bomb, but c'mon, "fresh hop" does not equal "hop bomb." It performs as advertised, no more and no less. Had they bulked up the malt a bit, we would have had something a little heartier, but then it would have lost as much as it has gained in being a true "fresh hop" flavor. I like, I like.

Pour: deep burnt orange. Well constructed tan head breaks down slowly. Light effervescence.
Nose: light malt clean citrus notes as nuance. Little cream.
Mouth: the hops are softer more feminine and impart a 'planty' earthiness that's nice but still a little light for my liking. The hops play well with fruity esters.
Very nice. Terrapin is always trying to step their game up & that's awesome.

Pours a pale amber with a large, dense, foamy, off white head that has great retention. The nose is cirtusy and earthy; little to no malt aromas. The flavor is rather subdued; very light, bready malt and very light, citrusy, grassy hops. There are some piny notes as the beer warms. The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied, well carbonated, and a little crisp at first.
For me this is a pretty underwhelming IPA. It's not bad, but the flavors are light and there's nothing that really grabs my attention. I would definitely go with their Hopsecutioner over this offering.

A- Pours a clear copper color with an off-white head with good retention and lacing.
S- The aroma is fresh leafy hops and some malt. I was expecting more hops in the nose, I was a little underwhelmed by the aroma.
T- The taste has some malt up front with a some fresh hop flavors in the finish. The hops are more flavorful than bitter. You can tell the hops are extremely fresh but I would have like to have seen the hops be a little more assertive in both the taste and aroma.
M- The mouthfeel is somewhere between light and medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation.
D- Overall, this is a good solid highly drinkable brew. My only complaint is the hops are not quite as prevalent as I would have wanted. Worth a try.

Had a pint at Liberty St. Tavern and didn't bother finishing the glass. It wasn't very hoppy and there was a strong, vaguely cheesy off flavor. Has this been sitting out too long, maybe with an infection run a muck? There was a little smooth ester character and a touch of grapefruit, but not much. Watch out for this one.

Pours a fairly dark amber color with a moderate white head. Minimal lacing. Run-of-the-mill appearance.
Nose is loaded with hops. Resiny with flowery, spicy notes. The malty backbone is detectable. Taste is fantastic. Loaded with fresh, resiny hops. The malt is mixed in wonderfully and adds a bit of a sweetness to the character - a bit of a spicy, brown sugar sweetness. However, the hops are left here to shine - the malt doesn't get in the way; it merely compliments it.
Mouthfeel is good.
All in all, very impressed with this beer. I enjoyed it much more than I expected, since I've generally been a bit disappointed by the Side Project series. I'd say this is probably the best in the series - I liked it much more than Hopzilla. A fresh hop assault with a nice slightly sweet undertone. Tasty as hell.

A - Poured from a bomber into a satan glass (wide flute). Beautiful amber color, semi-transparent and a thick white head.
S - Wow. It smells like a handfull of green hops. Exactly what I was expecting for a wet hop ale. Citrus and a little malt scent getting in there too.
T - I was expecting more bitterness... but this is still great. Subtly bitter with the malty sweet coming through more. Though not really sweet, just more than bitter.
M - Soft and medium body. Light carbonation. Very nice.
D - Very drinkable. The mouthfeel is wonderful. A great looking beer with a nice smell to it. The taste was the only part not bring it strong, but it was still very nice.

VLC is excellent for watching video, but not burning. If you have a dvd burner, use a video converter, I use ConvertXtoDVD, drag your movie file in, click convert and let it run, make sure you have a blank dvd in you burner. Hope this helps you.
The movies need to be converted to avi first, and then you can burn them to dvd.
The best program I have ever used to convert a movie from ANY format, to a burnable dvd format that will play on any dvd player, (or xbox) is called Convertxtodvd.
You can pay for it and download/install it, or you can download it from a torrent site and use the keygen provided to install on your hd.
( go to www dot vso-software dot fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd )
There is another program, a free program that a friend of mine swears by that does the same thing (he says) as convertx, and its is called Video Joiner.
www dot boilsoft dot com/avi-mpeg-rm-joiner dot html
Personally, Convertxtodvd is the best one of the bunch, and if you can afford it, buy it and download it. If you cant afford it, find a safe torrent website and download and install it.
It is...THE BOMB!!
My avi movies were somehow all changed showing the little vlc cone icon. I was successful and they played on my computer. Will they play in a dvd player? I am getting a divx player in a couple of days and don't want to burn anymore for fear I will be wasting dvds.
So far I see lots of questions but no answers. So to the people who say they are not computer savy, I guess ther's a lot of people like that because no one has offered any solutions to your questions.
Export the file from vlc if it wont play with other software, export preferably to mp4. then just use your burning software on the mp4 file
I have an MKV MOVIE file that I want to play in my DVD player. So, I need to BURN the MKV movie onto a BLANK DVD+R DISC. (Its all that I have.) What do I need to do to achieve this?
Thank you!!! :)
Thanks everyone!! MUCH appreciated!! :))

Gentlemen, I require some help.
Recently, my basketball team received our new uniforms. And I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that these are things of beauty. Not quite as beautiful as the Silver and Black, mind, but sexy nonetheless.
However, we also have a problem. See, one of our other mates decided he wanted to join as well and I was happy for this to happen, if only because now I'm not the worst player on the team. This means he needs a uniform as well and unfortunately the Chinese child slave labourers who make them can't make less than seven per set. So now we have to get six extras done.
With that in mind, and my current jersey number (#13) being rugby-related, I decided to go for a Raiders' name and number theme and buy a second one. The five options I have are in the poll. Honestly, they all seemed like great (and funny) ideas which I'll probably wear in games given that we have whatever we like on our jerseys (my current name is Forrest Gump - I had a deal with one of the other guys to get it because he thinks I run like Forrest. In return, he had to get Sasquatch on his cause he's a big hairy c**t).
So which do you think would look the best on a basketball jersey?

Use of Non-Existent Biofuels
The Daily Caller
A federal court delivered a serious blow to the Environmental Protection Agency's renewable fuel agenda, ruling that the agency exceeded its authority by mandating refiners use cellulosic biofuels, which isn't commercially available.
The court sided with the country's chief oil and gas lobby, the American Petroleum Institute, in striking down the 2012 EPA mandate that would have forced refineries to purchase more than $8 million in credits for 8.65 million of gallons of the cellulosic biofuel. However, none of the biofuel is commercially available.
"[W]e agree with API that EPA's 2012 projection of cellulosic biofuel production was in excess of the agency's statutory authority," reads the court decision.
API said refiners were forced to purchase biofuel credits for nonexistent gallons of cellulosic biofuel to meet the EPA's mandate, reports the Hill.
"We are glad the court has put a stop to EPA's pattern of setting impossible mandates for a biofuel that does not even exist," API Group Downstream Director Bob Greco said in a statement. "This absurd mandate acts as a stealth tax on gasoline with no environmental benefit that could have ultimately burdened consumers."
The court added that the cellulosic biofuels program punished refiners for the failure of producers to make enough biofuel to meet the EPA's mandate.
"Here, by contrast, EPA applies the pressure to one industry (the refiners), yet it is another (the producers of cellulosic biofuel) that enjoys the requisite expertise, plant, capital and ultimate opportunity for profit," reads the decision. "Apart from their role as captive consumers, the refiners are in no position to ensure, or even contribute to, growth in the cellulosic biofuel industry."
"'Do a good job, cellulosic fuel producers. If you fail, we'll fine your customers,'" the decision says.
The excessive blending requirements were meant to help develop cellulosic biofuels, and they have been aggressively defended by the biofuels industry. A source in the biofuels industry told the Hill that it's too early to tell how industry investors will respond to the decision.
"[A]lthough we disagree with the court's decision vacating the 2012 cellulosic volumes, today's decision once again rejects broad-brushed attempts to effectively roll back the federal Renewable Fuel Standard," reads a joint statement from biofuel groups.
However, the decision did not strike down EPA mandates for refiners to use other renewable fuels, like ethanol and biodiesel, into gasoline.
"This decision relieves refiners of complying with the unachievable 2012 mandate and forces EPA to adopt a more realistic approach for setting future cellulosic biofuel mandates," said Greco. "The court has provided yet another confirmation that EPA's renewable fuels program is unworkable and must be scrapped."

Switzerland Letter Home
It is amazing that we have been on this journey little more than a week. It seems months ago now that we excitedly and apprehensively first glanced at each other's faces and silently compared suitcase sizes. After two long days in Washington D.C., full of icebreakers and orientation sessions, we boarded the plane for Zurich, Switzerland and felt like the trip had finally begun. We were met at the airport by our wonderful Switzerland country coordinator, the 7 month pregnant and dressed in many shades of purple, Dr. Caroline Stierle, who led our sleepy-eyed bunch to the quite luxurious YMCA in Basel.
Basel, just a stone's throw from the borders of France and Germany, is an easily navigable city. Daily, we all piled into the tram to head to our classroom at the University, trying not to be as noisy as such a large group can be. Our time in Basel was divided between learning about the Swiss health care system, getting a sense of the global players in the health world, deconstructing the words "health," "culture," "community" and "medicine," and eating copious amounts of cheese and chocolate.
One highlight of the week was the day we broke into small groups and spread out around Basel, Freiburg, Germany and Mulhouse, France. We went with university students, who acted as translators and local experts, to interview community members on various health related topics. Though some people were a little surprised to be stopped and asked questions on the street, others were very open to sharing. Many were also interested in discussing the American healthcare system with us (and they had thought Swiss healthcare was expensive!). Some of our new friends from the university invited us to join them the next night for Basel's annual Museum Night, where all Basel museums are free and open until 2 a.m. We checked out the fine arts museum, which featured live music for the occasion, and wandered into some other interesting museums unique to Basel, like the pharmacy museum, the anatomy museum and the doll museum.
We also took a look at a popular Swiss alternative system - anthroposophy, the spiritual theory of Rudolph Steiner. Steiner is famous for founding the Waldorf schools, which some of us had experienced firsthand as students in the United States. It turns out that Steiner applied his spiritual views beyond education to the arts, architecture, and even medicine. Anthroposophical medicine views health as the balance between two extremes and uses both conventional techniques and alternative ones. We received a tour of a local anthroposophical hospital where we experimented with mustard powder on our arms, a technique used to treat chronic pain. It turns out mistletoe is not just for Christmas smooching, but also can be used to treat cancer!
The following Monday, after a restful weekend, we piled into the tram one more time to visit two of the world's top pharmaceutical companies, Roche and Novartis, to learn about drug development, intellectual property rights, and HIV and Malaria treatment programs. Though some members of the group left feeling conflicted about the position of big pharma in the global health agenda, they clearly have made major advances in medical innovations. Those of us who visited Roche were even lucky enough to get a tour of the production plant and watched the production of hundreds of thousands of Tamiflu pills firsthand.
Later that same day we had an intriguing and comprehensive guest lecture from Jean François Rischard, the former vice president of the World Bank in Europe, about some of the most important global issues we are facing, from the credit crisis to climate change, and how we are the generation who must tackle these issues urgently. According to Rischard, "turning off lights and fixing your bicycle is only about 5% of the solution… we need to change the system." Hopefully this trip will provide us with creative solutions and tools to use as we move forward.
We rounded out our time in Switzerland synthesizing what we had learned and coming up with more questions than answers as we began our global tour. We felt lucky to get a glimpse of such a well-organized health care system (and well-organized society, in general) which will serve as an interesting comparison as we continue on our journey. It is with both great enthusiasm and a little trepidation that we will board the plane, unsure of what is to come, but we have made the beginnings of wonderful friendships, even in this short time together. As we examine health and community in the places we visit, we have promised to remember that we are also a community and must take care of our own personal and group health. We have even started group yoga sessions which will continue in India and have made self-care goals for ourselves to work towards during the semester.
It has been an amazing kick-off to what is definitely going to be an amazing semester. We are packing up our winter coats and our stashes of Swiss chocolate and heading off to India. We may not have the daily internet access we are all used to, but we will certainly be in touch as the journey progresses.
Sending you lots of love,
Mira Silverman, IHP Trustees Fellow
and the IHP Health and Community Spring One Program
India Letter Home
From the moment we entered India, we were swept away by its magical chaos and its stark contradictions. Wafting scents that switch without warning from jasmine flowers to sun baked garbage; tastes that range from the sweetest syrup to the spiciest curry; lavish luxury out of the reach of most of its billion people- India is a mystery to unravel.
During our stay in Bangalore, we had the incredible opportunity to live with host families in South Bangalore, the supposedly "posh" part of the city. Bangalore is known as the Silicon Valley of India, and a few of our families worked in the IT field. Though everyone's homestay family was unique, we all got to experience the water-saving techniques of the bucket shower, the paper-saving techniques of the Indian squat toilet, and the general desire of our families to have us leave a little rounder than we came in- making it their goal to stuff us full with delicious, spicy South Indian dishes. Many students picked up a few phrases in Kannada, the local language, as well as bits of Tamil and Malayalam, other South Indian languages between which many locals switch with ease. Some also had opportunities with their families to attend traditional events, from weddings to naming ceremonies, to pick up a little Bharanatayum dance (typical of the state of Karnataka), and to visit Hindu temples for special celebrations like Shivaratri. Within a few days, all of us were decked out in colorful Indian salwars and kurtas (and the occasional sari!), bargaining with rickshaw drivers over transport fare, and fitting into the noisy Bangalore street scene about as well as a group of 33 Americans could hope to.
With an incredibly rich schedule set up by our Indian host organization, Basic Needs India, we attempted to get a handle on the complexities of health issues in the vast sub-continent. One prominent theme that emerged from our guest lectures and site visits was that of maternal and child health. Meeting with women's self-help groups both in urban slum areas and in rural villages, we learned about issues like microcredit, barriers to accessing quality healthcare, government pressures to institutionalize childbirth, and the dangers of being a woman in a dowry-based marriage system. Though the self-help groups we visited showed mixed results in their effectiveness, some people we met, such as Dr. Saraswathy Ganapathy and her organization the Belaku Trust, were inspirational in their accounts of women's empowerment.
Though the health concerns in India are great- from the environmental hazards of solid waste management, to malnutrition, to the social determinants of health, such as poverty and education- the creative efforts to address these concerns are great as well. While listening to illiterate women speak about empowerment in their villages, we felt inspired about the power of grassroots change. And while listening to Ravi Narayan, a leader of the People's Health Movement, talk about lobbying the WHO, we felt inspired for macro-level change too. Several of our guest lecturers urged us to challenge the system that creates health inequities and to actively play a role in community health from the ground up.
Leaving the now comfortable routine of life in hectic Bangalore, we headed south on an overnight train (trying to get some rest amidst the calls of the chaiwalas and snack vendors) to the heat and lush beauty of Kerala, India's southernmost state. Kerala is known for its communist state government, high literacy rates (almost double that of the rest of the country!) and high life expectancy. It is also known as a stronghold of traditional ayurvedic medicine. We got to visit an ayurvedic hospital and see firsthand some of the treatments, such as hot oil massage (which many of us tried out in our free time) and medicated milk applications.
After a packed full month, a week-long vacation was a welcome time to do some personal synthesis of all we had seen, as well as time to care for our own health with some needed R & R. A few of us took advantage of the time to do brief internships at an AIDS clinic and a women's economic empowerment organization, and one group traveled north to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. This group was able to participate in and celebrate Holi, the Hindu festival of colors that marks the arrival of spring. During Holi, Hindus throw powdered dyes at each other with the goal of covering as many people as possible in a rainbow of colors. Needless to say, the group was unrecognizable after a few hours (and some still have green and pink streaks in their hair days later!). Most of us decided to stay in the South, spending the first few days on a houseboat on the beautiful Kerala backwaters and then doing some serious beach-bumming.
A week later our big family was united once again, a little more tan and with suitcases a little harder to close, ready to begin the year of the tiger in China. We'll keep you posted…

China Letter Home
It is a rainy day here in Shaoshan, the birthplace of Mao Zedong. We had a great morning at a local high school, followed by a warming ginger soup- perfect for the weather- and now the group has closed ourselves away in our rooms for the afternoon with green tea or Nescafe to finish up our country papers for Emily's public health class. Shaoshan is a rural pilgrimage spot of sorts- a place where large groups circle Mao's massive statue three times, Mao paraphernalia is available in every form from cigarette lighters to baby rattles, and every restaurant claims to be run by members of Mao's family. It seems the perfect spot to be reflecting back on our time in China before once again making big moves across our planet.
We didn't know quite what to expect arriving in China. There were a few of us who had been here before and tried to prepare the rest of us with some basic Chinese words and a few cultural clues, but for many of us China was a mystery. China and India are often grouped together as the two growing world powers, but the contrast we felt in moving from one to the other was dramatic. In some ways China felt so familiar- the modern, orderly city life; the food and markets many of us know from Chinatowns visited back home. But in other ways it still felt like a far off land, and the language barriers we faced were a challenge to be overcome.
But these challenges were made easier thanks to the help of our hosts at Changsha's Central South University. After a quick tour in Hong Kong and an overnight train ride, we arrived in Changsha, the southern city known for its spicy food and variable weather patterns. These we experienced firsthand as we watched the weather shift from the icy cold that shocked our systems upon arrival to the spring sun that had us all sitting on the campus lawn in our Indian summer dresses. But the spicy food they warned us about was nothing after the burn of some of those Indian curries. The food did come with its own set of challenges though, as we watched our competitive sides emerge around the table's Lazy Susan, or as we found our tablecloths (and laps) stained by our novice chopstick abilities.
In our first days we met Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Li, our China program coordinators, and the Chinese students that would be our translators as well as become our friends during our stay (even accompanying us to KTV to practice our karaoke skills). They patiently answered all our questions and guided us as we got our bearings in Changsha. Our homestay families also acted as "cultural brokers," giving us a glimpse into everyday life on a Chinese university campus, and showed us firsthand the warmth of Chinese hospitality. They taught us how to make dumplings, joined us on visits to Orange Island to see the giant statue of Mao's head and on hikes up Yuelu Mountain, and navigated the oftentimes difficult questions we had about government policies.
During our time in Changsha we had a range of guest lecturers and site visits. We learned about the philosophies behind the ancient system of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and then visited hospitals and clinics to see how TCM is integrated into Western biomedicine (or vice versa). We learned about neoliberal economic policies and the creation of special economic zones for free trade. We learned about issues such as ageing, nutrition (the food pagoda!), chronic disease, and urbanization, and how each of these is affected by/ addressed in a state-run healthcare system.
In Emily's Research Methods class we looked at study designs, as well as examples of qualitative research methods. After examining other people's illnesses over the course of our journey, we had the chance to turn the lens on our own group when we each acted as both a participant and researcher in the construction of an illness narrative. This was a rewarding experience, allowing us to give deeper meaning and context to events in our own lives, and to gain a greater understanding (and therefore, hopefully, compassion) of the health issues of other members of our traveling community.
Another highlight of our Research Methods course in China was the few days we spent doing a self-directed case study. We broke into small groups and spread out around the city looking at a range of topics from occupational health, to smoking, to maternal and child health. Though our research was made more challenging because of the language barriers we faced, the help of English-language students at the university and the synthesizing of all our skills gained over the semester enabled us to do some firsthand preliminary investigation and come up with thoughtful research questions.
In Stefi's Health, Culture and Community class one highlight for many of us was our assignment to practice a form of "embodied" ethnography- using all our senses to experience a place. Inspired by the Chinese practice of Yangsheng (cultivation of the spirit), we tried to put aside our analytical minds early every morning to enter the slow body power generated by Tai Chi practice. Some of us also exercised our senses wandering around Wal-Mart-- the epitome of globalization, as well as the only place in Changsha to search for American comfort foods, or as we took in the sounds and smells of the downtown walking street- a sort of Times Square replete with live turtles and frogs (and not necessarily for sale as pets).
It is through the mist of the rain and the shadow of Mao Zedong that we look back now to these incredible few weeks that have whizzed by. It is with new friendships, developing culinary skills, amazing experiences, and a plethora of questions that we will embark on the final leg of our journey.

South Africa Letter Home
After almost two days of traveling from Changsha with a day layover in Hong Kong, we arrived in South Africa a little tired but enthusiastic to begin the final leg of our journey. We had a weekend of rest and exploration in Cape Town, eager to shed our winter coats, communicate freely in English once again and fulfill some of those food cravings we'd been conversing about for awhile. We then moved to Zwelethemba, a rural black township in the beautiful wine country landscape outside the small city of Worcester.
But the beauty of the landscape is not enough to erase the history that took place on its land. It has been 16 years since apartheid officially ended here in South Africa, but the stark evidence of it remains. Democracy and a rights-based constitution has not been enough to unite the "third world" conditions of the townships with the "first world" luxuries of other neighborhoods, and South Africa has one of the biggest divides between the rich and poor in the world. Though we certainly stood out in the all black township, we felt very safe and were well taken care of by our warm homestay families who shared incredible stories of their lives under Apartheid and the struggle against it.
Our ten days in Zwelethemba were full of incredibly informative and inspiring talks from a range of speakers and groups. We learned about traditional and symbolic forms of healing in our anthropology class and then had site visits in the afternoon with two local healers. One, an herbalist, crammed us all into his small shack with the walls covered head to toe with posters and photographs and regaled us with passionate stories about the healing properties of herbs but also about his adventures and perspectives on life. Our second visit was with a iSangoma, a traditional African diviner. The iSangoma, a very large woman seated on a goatskin mat in her dark hut, explained to us about how she came to realize her gift and what sorts of ailments she treats.
Another highlight of our time in Zwelethemba was the day we spent with an organization called Women on Farms. Female farm workers in South Africa face difficult living conditions, lower wages and less permanent contracts than men, high levels of domestic violence connected with the high levels of alcoholism on the farms, and little possibility to find other employment. Women on Farms, a group of incredibly wise and dedicated women, talked to us about the different programs they are running such as a Labor Rights Program and the Women's Cooperative Program, and took us in the afternoon to view firsthand the living conditions on one vineyard.
We celebrated our last night in Zwelethemba in the South African fashion with a braai, a barbecue. All of our homestay families were there and we enjoyed performances from the local Arts and Cultural organization and even shared our own gumboot dancing skills we had picked up in a few classes that week. Then we loaded up the bus the next morning and headed back to Cape Town to move in with our new families in the steep-hilled, brightly colored Bo Kaap neighborhood. The Bo Kaap, a working class Muslim neighborhood, is inhabited by the descendants of slaves brought over from India and Malaysia in the 18th century, and our families had an interesting perspective to share.
One of our first days in Cape Town was dedicated exclusively to looking at issues of HIV/AIDS. Though we were all expecting HIV/AIDS to be a pervasive theme in the public health field in South Africa, the actual numbers- reaching as high as 18% among certain groups- were particularly striking actually being there. The complexity of the issue was also made clear by many of our guest speakers, who talked about the connections between HIV and poverty, domestic violence, alcoholism, tuberculosis, and women's empowerment- to name a few.
Much of our time in Cape Town was also spent working on our final projects for our academic courses. Our Globalization and Health final projects were amazing, ranging from beautiful dioramas to board games to an interactive competition representing the players and trends of globalization. We were all really proud of what we produced and how much we had learned throughout the semester.
We also did our final Case study, using all of the skills we learned in our research methods course throughout the semester to do independent research on topics ranging from HIV peer education, to midwifery, to urban planning, and to create a plan for a successful health intervention. This week was a definite highlight, allowing us to explore our own interests, to work together in small groups, and to synthesize all the skills we had gained this semester.
We also had time to have some fun! - eating at Cape Town's great restaurants, going dancing, and visiting some of the great museums and historical sites. The city of Cape Town is absolutely breathtaking, spreading out between the beach and the base of Table Mountain and Lion's Head peak. We took advantage of the area's natural beauty by hiking Lion's Head at sunset, biking to the Cape of Good Hope via quaint colonial towns and beaches full of African penguins and two of us even ran the famous Two Oceans Marathon from the Atlantic to Indian Oceans.
The semester has been both packed full and gone by so quickly. It's hard to believe that it was just four months ago that we were seeing each other for the first time in Washington. Since then we have visited four countries around the world, shared amazing experiences, learned about pressing health issues in the countries we visited, and learned perhaps equally as much about ourselves. Our last few days in South Africa we left Cape Town for a beautiful rural retreat center to begin the process of saying goodbye. We told stories and made up songs and danced and talked about making the transition back into the U.S. and how to bring home all that we have learned. We will miss each other a lot, but are also so excited to be home and to share our stories with all of you.

Add to that the fact that there are many factors that affect weight loss which, again, can't always be measured or accounted for with the tools we have to track progress. In that sense, your body may be making changes that can't yet be measured with a scale or a tape measure.
Give your body time to respond to what you're doing. It may be weeks or months before you see significant changes so don't freak out if you're not seeing results after only a few weeks. Being patient and taking it one day at a time will allow you to enjoy the journey instead of focusing on the destination.

Full text available as:
Powerful, safe macro systems allow programs to be programatically constructed by the user at compile-time. Such systems have traditionally been largely confined to LISP-like languages and their successors. In this paper we describe and compare two modern, dynamically typed languages Converge and Metalua, which both have macro-like systems. We show how, in different ways, they build upon traditional macro systems to explore new ways of constructing programs.

Houston Texans
Shane Lechler - #9 - P
|6' 2"/ 230 lbs.
|Sealy, TX
|Texas A&M
|Years played
|2000, 5th round, 13th pick by Raiders
Comeback another sign Texans have turned corner?
The Texans overcame a 17-point third-quarter deficit to win at Washington on Sunday, running their record to 2-0 and keeping a one-game lead in the AFC South and perhaps signaling they are developing into legitimate contenders.
Texans WR Johnson has mild ankle sprain
Two Texans underwent MRIs Monday on their ankles. WR Andre Johnson has a mild sprain and is listed as day-to-day but is expected to start in Week Three. TE James Casey is expected to be out with an ankle sprain.
Schaub, Texans flip the script in Week Two
The Texans and QB Matt Schaub taught fantasy players a valuable lesson on Sunday: Don't read too much into one game.
Kubiak comes through in crunch time
Speculation mounted about Gary Kubiak's future in Houston late last season, but, thanks to the play of DE Mario Williams and others, owner Bob McNair is reaping the rewards of his loyalty after the Texans' impressive start.
Texans WR Johnson will have MRI on right ankle
Texans WR Andre Johnson will undergo an MRI on his right ankle this week. He left Sunday's game in the third quarter, only to return in the fourth period and haul in the game-tying TD pass.
Rackers FG gives Texans OT win over Redskins
Neil Rackers kicked a 35-yard field goal with 3:24 left in overtime, and Matt Schaub's 497 set a franchise record Sunday as the Houston Texans improved to 2-0 with a 30-27 win over the Washington Redskins.
Loss of promising Barwin weakens Texans' DE depth
The loss of promising reserve DE Connor Barwin hurts the Texans' depth, but the pass rush was no concern against Indianapolis because of the play of starting DEs Mario Williams and Antonio Smith.
Texans sign DEs Ogunleye, Denney
To add depth to the defensive end position after losing Connor Barwin for the season, the Texans have signed DEs Adewale Ogunleye and Ryan Denney.
Foster's emergence brings real balance to Texans' offense
Texans RB Arian Foster's sudden emergence as Houston's lead back makes an already very good offense more balanced — and thus more dangerous.
Report: Texans DE Barwin out for season with fractured ankle
Texans DE Connor Barwin crashed into a teammate in the first quarter of Week One and will miss the remainder of the season with a fracutred right ankle.
Texans likely rethinking game plan after Foster's monster day
Arian Foster had generated plenty of hype leading up to Week One, but nobody could have seen this coming.
Texans surprise Colts as Foster sets record
Arian Foster ran for a team-record 231 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Texans to a 34-24 victory over the Colts on Sunday.
Texans TE Daniels will start Sunday
Ten months after tearing his ACL against the Bills, Texans TE Owen Daniels will return to the gridiron in Sunday's season opener against the Colts.
Opportunity as Texans' backup knocks for Leinart
New Texans QB Matt Leinart will push Dan Orlovsky for the top reserve role behind starter Matt Schaub and may be a better fit in Houston's offense than Arizona's scheme, the way we hear it.
Texans sign seven to practice squad
The Texans signed seven players to their practice squad on Monday. They have one remaining open spot on the squad.
The Houston Texans have signed Lechler. Terms of the contract were not disclosed by the team Saturday. ESPN reported the deal was for three years and worth a maximum of $5.5 million, with a $1 million signing bonus.||||||| The 36-year-old Lechler is the NFL's career leader in gross average per punt (47.3 yards) and has led the league in gross average in four seasons. He also ranks seventh in career net punting average (38.8 yards).
Lechler went 1 for 2 in his chase for punting records. Lechler fell just short of breaking Sammy Baugh's single season mark for gross punting average, while topping his own mark for net average in a season.||||||| Lechler averaged 52.4 yards on five punts in Sunday's season finale for Oakland against Baltimore. That gave him a 51.1-yard average for the season, just shy of Baugh's record of 51.4 yards in 1940. Lechler finished the season with a 43.9-yard net average, breaking the mark of 41.2 he set last season. No punter had topped a 40-yard net average until Lechler and Andy Lee did so in 2007. Lechler has extended his record the past two seasons.
Lechler, who already owns the league record for career average, is having his best season so far and is making his strongest bid yet to beat Sammy Baugh's 69-year-old record of 51.4 yards. It's an achievement Lechler has been chasing since he entered the NFL as a fifth-round draft pick in 2000.||||||| A four-time Pro Bowl pick, Lechler leads the NFL with a 52.3-yard average heading into Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. That's more than three yards higher than Lechler's own franchise record of 49.1 set in 2007.
Lechler has agreed to a four-year contract to stay with the Oakland Raiders, the Associated Press has learned.||||||| Lechler could have become an unrestricted free agent next week after being chosen to the AFC's Pro Bowl team for the fourth time in his nine-year career. The Raiders didn't disclose financial terms of the deal, but it's believed to make Lechler the highest-paid punter in NFL history.
Lechler will test out his strained hamstring over the next couple of days, and if no problems arise, he plans to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints. The punter, who has been limited since suffering the injury in the Raiders' first exhibition game, is considered as day-to-day.||||||| Lechler was selected to the Pro Bowl last season after leading the league with a 46.7-yard average on 73 punts.

The Role of Demeanor Evidence in Determining Creditability of Witnesses in Fact Finding: The Views of ALJS
Gregory L. Ogden
Pepperdine University - School of Law
Journal of the National Association of Administrative Law Judges, Vol. 20, No. 1, 2000
Prof. Ogden presents the views of administrative law judge's on the role of demeanor evidence in determining the credibility of witnesses' testimony in fact finding. The opinions of administrative law judges add an important new perspective on the issue of whether demeanor evidence increases the accuracy of credibility determinations. The views of administrative law judges were determined through the techniques of survey research, utilizing a questionnaire. After defining demeanor evidence for purposes of the study, Ogden explains the administrative law principle of judicial review that gives weight or deference to credibility determinations based on demeanor evidence. A statistical analysis of the gathered data is provided which demonstrates that administrative law judges view demeanor evidence to be of relatively low value. This finding warrants further study of the fact finding process as well as the process of determining credibility.

An endangered sea turtle got a trip to a Tampa training center where doctors learn advanced medical skills so that veterinarians could figure out what is ailing it.
Freud, a 22-pound juvenile green sea turtle, was lethargic, bloated and covered with algae when it was found on a Florida Panhandle beach in November 2012.
The turtle was initially treated at Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach and then sent to Florida Aquarium.
Veterinarians call Freud a "floater" because the turtle is unable to dive. They thought that air was collecting in the turtle's body, making it unusually buoyant, but they couldn't figure out what was causing the condition that has put pressure on Freud's internal organs and caused a slight deformity of its shell.
On Tuesday, veterinarians took Freud to the University of South Florida's Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation, where they examined the turtle's airway with a tiny video camera and performed other advanced digital scans.
The procedures revealed that air was trapped near Freud's left lung and there was bubbling within its airway, perhaps caused by a lesion. Veterinary radiologists will review the results and recommend a course of treatment.
Kathy Heym of the Florida Aquarium was cautiously optimistic about Freud's prognosis.
"He's been doing fine, despite his lesion -- eating, swimming. We just know this isn't something he can live with forever. He's already starting to have some problems as a result of it," she said.
If Freud can regain the ability to dive, the turtle could eventually be released.

News: Keri Hilson Refuses To Fall For A Rapper, "I'm A Little More Than They Bargained For" [Video]
Thursday, Dec 9, 2010 5:33PM
R&B singer Keri Hilson sat down with television personality Chelsea Handler last night and opened up about her romance interests and why she would pass on an opportunity to find love in rappers.
When asked why she would never date a rapper, Hilson responded by saying she may be too much for an artist to handle.
"When you mix a man who has popularity, who has money, who has b*tches, that's a scary thing for me. It doesn't speak to my insecurities, it's just not the type of man that I want and I think I'm not the type of girl they want. I have a brain, I'm a little more than they bargained for." ("Chelsea Lately")
Despite her stance on rappers, Hilson recently gave a rating from 1 to 10 of artists like 50 Cent, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, J. Cole and Drake based on their looks.
"Trey [Songz], 1 to 10, I'm thinking, I want to be fair," Hilson told Funkmaster Flex. "I like Trey, he looks good, sex appeal, on point, give him like, a seven. That's a good number for girls...I might give him a seven, eight. I like Trey, he's creeping on up -- J. Cole, he's talented --are all these guys on here high yellow because I like chocolate. He's not my type. He's tall, give him like a five, six. Usher is definitely up there. I would give Usher like a nine. I'm thinking...Kanye [West], the creativity puts him so far up, is he taller than me? I think a lot of girls would rate him pretty high. I would give him a nine. John Legend, he seems like a man -- I would give John Legend a seven. 50 [Cent], not my type. I'm gonna start off with he's not my type. He's a five. My type is chocolate, tall, some sort of athleticism. Drake, high yellow one. He's very sensitive. It's hard to rate him, I think I might hurt his feelings if I say something about...That's why ladies 'eff' with him so much. He seems very in touch with himself -- one to ten, probably a six. Lil Wayne, I love Wayne, he's very creative. He does have a lot of kids -- I don't know if I could deal with that. It seems like one big happy family, he's such a rock star...Wayne is up there. He's like a seven." (Hot 97)
Hilson recently opened up about being single and searching for love.
"Every person has one," says the "Pretty Girl Rock" singer, who is currently on the dating scene. "My breaking point... I mean, there are many. We, as women, are such hopeless romantics, and I know I'm one of them and I tolerate a bit more than I should just wanting to make a relationship work. Just wanting to be held at night. Wanting to be on dates and be a woman, you know? ... If we're in a committed relationship, not only do you step out and cheat, you had unprotected sex and had a baby out of the situation. That is like the ultimate. 'OK, you cheated? Maybe we can work it out.' ... So a child is born of this side relationship you had, and I just probably could not do that." (Rap-Up)
She also talked with Internet personality Perez Hilton about expressing her sexual desires on new controversial record, "The Way You Love Me."
"Perez, I don't wanna be held and caressed every night. Sometimes I do wanna be f*cked," she said in the interview. "I can't allow other people to dictate, or the media to dictate, what I can and can't do...I'm a freak. It's no surprise. I'm a freak! I've been a freak on other songs and in other videos." (Perez TV)
