April 15, 2002The latest marriage of these two materials is seen providing a means for traditional vinyl window manufacturers to compete head on in the clad wood segment of the marketA couple of years ago, Dave Gerhardt of Atria Building Products, Inc., was sitting in his office, looking at one of his company's vinyl windows. He thought to himself, like many manufacturers before him, "I wish I could put wood on the inside of that." He knew the challenges of doing that. The different expansion and contraction rates of vinyl and wood that make the design and... more »
April 15, 2002An interview with Keith Oakley of Air Chek Window Depot, a small New Jersey manufacturer celebrating its 30th anniversary and continuing to thriveWindow installation issues often create problems for manufacturers and distributors. Yet, a growing number also appear to be looking at installation as as an opportunity, particularly in a market where consolidation has increased competitive pressures. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Air Chek Window Depot, a small replacement window manufacturer in Clifton, NJ, added installation... more »
April 15, 2002The market is demanding resistance to rot, and a number of factorsAt Lincoln Windows, we're known for making quality wood windows and doors. We've been in the business for over 50 years. During that time the company has integrated changes in our products as a result of technology, market demands, and product integrity. Recently, we pulled all of these reasons together to solve a nagging problem associated with wood—rot. In today's... more »
January 15, 2002Fire officials and others are increasing efforts to protect homes in "WUI" boundary areas, and the industry needs to be prepared with sound recommendations for fenestration productsIf the danger posed by wildfires to populated areas wasn't on the minds of fire protection officials before, it certainly was after the summer of 2002. This last "fire season" was one of the worst in the nation's history, with nearly 6 million acres scorched. Some particularly large fires gained headlines: the Biscuit fire in Oregon that consumed nearly 500,000... more »
September 15, 2001Simonton Windows has worked to establish an infrastructure and now is poised to reach beyond the trades to become a recognized name with consumers across the countrySimonton Windows grew throughout the '90s to become one of the first vinyl window manufacturers with a national presence. One key to that achievement was its efforts to set an industry benchmark of seven days for delivery times nearly a decade ago. John Brunett, Simonton's president, still sees that benchmark as an important element in its growth, although he emphasizes that it is the Parkersburg... more »
June 15, 2001ECMD's CEO looks at consolidation at the dealer level and how it has led the firm to a restructure of its manufacturing and distribution operationsIn 1982, ECMD was started as East Coast Millwork Distributors, Inc. Based in North Wilkesboro, NC, it was not a typical two-step distributor, but focused on wood mouldings. Since that time, the company has expanded to become not only a full-line millwork distributor, but also a Window & Door Top 100 manufacturer, producing Arndt & Hermann Windows. Recently, ECMD completed a restructuring... more »
May 15, 2001JIT and fully-integrated, Gienow is taking on the challenge of bringing everything onlineGienow Building Products enjoys a reputation for manufacturing innovation. Just-in-time or JIT manufacturing is a goal at window and door industry companies across North America, but few are probably at the stage reached by the Canadian manufacturer, where most products literally come off the line and are loaded onto a truck. Window & Door recently traveled to Calgary, AB, to visit the... more »
October 15, 2000Is there still room for smaller manufacturers in today's industry?At a time when many observers see consolidation as the defining trend within our industry, Window & Door thought it would be interesting to gain a different perspective.

September 15, 2000A little analysis can often yield significant improvements without adding significant capital or labor costsIn looking at how to improve manufacturing efficiencies, there are a number of questions you need to ask yourself. Do you have control of the manufacturing process? Is your labor cost at what it should be or is it too high? Is your manufacturing running at peak efficiency? Is your manufacturing process running at peak capacity? Do you need to add manufacturing equipment?Often,... more »

NYC Celebrates Puerto Rican Pride
With smiles and cheers, music and dancing, a seaof revelers decked out in the red, white and blue of Puerto Rico'sflag stood along Fifth Avenue on Sunday to celebrate the PuertoRican Day Parade.
"I like to see the people with all the energy they have," said68-year-old Jorge Malave of West New York, N.J., a regular at theparade who was born in Puerto Rico and came to the United Stateswhen he was 10.
Claudia Albarado was lined up next to the parade route by 8:30a.m., hours before the start, to stake out a good spot. The65-year-old, born in Puerto Rico and living in Union City, N.J.,was wearing a T-shirt that said "When I die and Heaven does notwant me, take me straight to Puerto Rico."
"I see all my people here. I'm very happy," she said.
The annual event is known for bringing out huge crowds -Sunday's parade-goers stood several people deep to watch - as itmakes its way up Fifth Avenue with thousands of marchers, numerousfloats, celebrities and politicians taking part.
Singer Marc Anthony was named as the king of the parade and wasgreeted by raucous cheers as he and wife Jennifer Lopez made theirway up the parade route.
He took on the role after actor Osvaldo Rios dropped out of theparade.
Rios had been named as the parade's international godfather butcritics called for a boycott because he has a domestic violenceconviction.
Jeannette LaBoy was so thrilled to see Anthony, the man shecalled "the king of Puerto Rico," she said, "I almost lost myvoice."
The 39-year-old school lunch helper from Brooklyn said herfamily was Puerto Rican. "My mother passed away and I want torepresent for her," LaBoy said.
A host of politicians turned out, including Mayor MichaelBloomberg, Gov. David Paterson and gubernatorial hopefuls AndrewCuomo and Rick Lazio.
Dolores Padilla, wearing a red, white, and blue eye mask withfeathers attached, brought her 2-year-old son from the Bronx to seethe parade.
Her little boy Zavian, who is both Puerto Rican and Dominican,was perched on her boyfriend's shoulder, a tiny Puerto Rican flagclutched in his fist.
"I want him to be proud," Padilla said.
The Puerto Rican parade, an annual event in New York since 1958,has grown to be one of the city's largest.Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

The ESEB is an academic society that brings together over 1600 evolutionary biologists from Europe and the rest of the world - researchers, academic teachers, students, as well as journalists and other persons interested in evolution. By joining you become part of this academic community.
The biennial Congress of ESEB is one of the largest scientific meetings in broadly defined evolutionary biology. Members are entitled to substantially reduced registration fees. The society also offers travel stipends to support participation of student members from economically disadvantaged countries.
The membership of ESEB includes a personal on-line subscription the Society's journal, the Journal of Evolutionary Biology. The journal has an Open Access option, and authors who are members of the Society benefit from a 50 % discount on the Open Access fee for their papers (US$ 1500 as of August 2009). Members are also entitled to a 25 % discount on all books published by Wiley-Blackwell and a 20 % discount on Ecology & Evolution books from Oxford University Press, as well as other promotional offers.

Well, That"s Good!
Toys R Us was selling "Breaking Bad" action figures. You can guess what the accessories were. So, Florida Mother Susan Myers started a petition on Change.org. Actor Bryan Cranston took to twitter saying he was going to protest Florida Mother dolls. Boy, has he Lost Perspective with the role. Now I know why I always felt sorry for his kids on "Malcolm in the Middle". So, Toys R Us then said they would put the action figures in the Teen Section. Wow. That'll take care of the problem, because as we all know--Teens Don't Do Meth! Today, the toy giant said they'd pull them. Well, that's good! We have to stay vigilant, because the glorification of the drug culture whether casual or blatant, is still Insidious.

Where there is life, there is hope
My AD has gone to detox. She was worse than I have ever seen her, barely able to stand on her own. This is a testament to the progressive killing nature of this disease. Again, helping her to get funding, as she has no insurance, took every advocacy skill I know, and thirty years in advocacy has given me a good bit of knowledge. She wanted this. She asked me to help. All these years, ten of them, I am different. No begging. No forcing. No cajoling. I, no, we, my husband and I told her: if you want help getting to rehab, let us know. Otherwise leave us alone. And her current beau told her the same thing. As did the friend she sometimes stays with. The only one who did not tell her this was the evil pimp ex bf who of course, bought her H. And regarding that horrible person? I have realized that he is not worth hating, not with condemning, not worth damning. He is evil. Evil is already damned. So I am here again, with a little tiny bit of hope. I am not planning a funeral, which I truly believe I would have been, had she not gone on Friday. I am at rest that I have done all I can. I am powerless over all the facets of her disease. I can only control myself.

The Miami Dolphins made some tough decisions two off-seasons ago. Then last year, Bill Parcells made quite a few more. Now it appears that this off-season, already one that has seen it's share of free agency eve signings is about to take another turn. And this time, the holiday is over. The Dolphins are releasing DE Vonnie Holliday.
Holliday was due a 1.5 million dollar bonus this week for simply being on the roster. Add that to his 2.5 million dollar salary this year and the 200,000 dollar workout bonus and Holliday became expendable. Asked to redo his contract, it has been reported that he declined saying he wanted the back end of his contract paid in full.
The Dolphins now will turn their attention to the draft for some depth and rely on the two drafted rookies last season. Kendall Langford and 2nd round pick Phillip Merling. The Phins received a decent return in their investment from the signing of Holliday. A leader in the lockerroom, Holliday has also led on the field.
The Dolphins still could bring Holliday back to Miami at a lower price if Holliday doesn't find the contract numbers he wants on the open market.

Cowboys' deal with LB Herring is off
Irving, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Former New Orleans Saints linebacker Will Herring is heading back to the free agent market.
Herring agreed to a contract to join the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, but the deal fell apart by Friday before Herring had signed.
It was a mutual parting of the ways that had to do with the language of the contract.
Herring will be entering his eighth NFL season and spent the last three with the New Orleans Saints, primarily as a special-teams ace. The 30-year-old previously played four years with the Seattle Seahawks, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2007 draft, from 2007-10.
The Auburn product started six games for the Seahawks in 2009, compiling 46 tackles and one forced fumble that season.

WICHITA — Applebee's franchisee Jim Stevens is adding something new to the menu, so to speak, at his Applebee's restaurant in Hays.
A Tesla charging station is going to be in the restaurant's parking lot in a week or so. Tesla Motors is putting the stations from coast to coast.
"It'll be the first Applebee's that's ever had one," Stevens says. "We have a location that's convenient to the interstate. It's easy on and easy off."
He says the pricey electric vehicle is a "beautiful car."
If Tesla owners charge at home, Stevens says, "It takes most of the night in your garage or wherever."
At his place, he says, it takes just over half an hour.
There will be six stalls, three of which will be for Tesla drivers only. The other three can be used for Tesla charging stations or extra parking for other cars.
"There's going to be a lot of people that just want to come see a Tesla," Stevens says.
He figures the majority of them will probably stick around for a bite to eat.
One of these days, diners may be able to see a Stevens-owned Tesla in the lot.
"Well, at some point and time I will (have one)," Stevens says. "Online, people just rave about them. Say they're just incredible."
He adds, "I'm not a car guy, but you know, I'll tell you what, to be able to drive from one coast to another and not spend a penny is pretty incredible."
WICHITA — Chris Myers has added almost 4,000 square feet to his Unruh Automotive Northeast at 2100 N. Beaumont, which is a block west of 21st and Woodlawn behind Bionic Burger.
He says business is "growing pretty rapidly to the point where we would have a delay in our service of a day or two just trying to get … to the vehicles."
With the five bays he used to have, Myers says, "You can only work on so much in a given day."
Now, he has 13 bays, each of which is two vehicles deep.
"So we can get a lot more vehicles in (and) take care of our customers quicker," Myers says.
He says he's invested in top-of-the-line alignment equipment for two alignment bays, and he's added another large truck bay to service shuttle vans and make it easier for his employees to get to them without having to lie on the ground.
Myers also owns Auto M.D. in Derby.
There are two other Unruh Automotive stores in the Wichita area owned by someone else.
Myers is considering adding another east-side store.
"I have some things that are in the works," he says. "It's preliminary at this point."
With his new bays at the northeast store, Myers says he doesn't necessarily expect to double his business but plans "to get pretty close."
"It was very exciting. Kind of surreal. … It was just one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities."

At 21,000 square feet, this one should last a while. The sisters are in negotiations to buy the former SecureNet building at 10501 W. Hampton Lakes in Maize.
Though they say the space is nice and that the $1.6 million in industrial revenue bonds the city is giving them in the next three years will be helpful, Armstrong says they would have had the same things in Wichita.
"To be honest, it really was the city of Maize," she says of the decision to locate there.
"The sense of community in that place was amazing," Armstrong says. "Branda and I … really left there with the sense and impression of community and values. Their whole culture just seemed really in line with what we value as a corporation."
City Administrator Richard LaMunyon says the city felt the same about them.
"We just really kind of hit it off," he says. "They were just excited about their business. You could tell that they were professional in what they were doing."
He says that's important because the company will be one of the larger private ones in Maize, and he expects it to be there for some time to come.
"It has great potential for growth."

Book Description:
SHADES OF GRAY is the original novel that now has a new ending and is called NOBLE CAUSE. Honor & conviction clash with loyalty & love in this award-winning romantic Civil War novel that pits brother against brother. This is the tale of Colonel Alexander Hunter, a dauntless and daring Confederate cavalry officer, who, with his band of intrepid outcasts, becomes a legend in the rolling hills of northern Virginia. Inspired by love of country and guided by a sense of duty and honor, Hunter must make a desperate choice when he discovers the woman he promised his dying brother he would protect is the Union spy he vowed to his men he would destroy. Readers will discover the fine line between friends and enemies when the paths of these two tenacious foes cross by the fates of war and their destinies become entwined forever. Author Jessica James uniquely blends elements of romantic and historical fiction in this deeply personal and poignant tale that, according to one reviewer, "transcends the pages to settle in the very marrow of the reader's bones." Winner of numerous national awards, James has received critical acclaim for this page-turning story of courage, honor, and enduring love. Destined for an honored place among the classics of the American Civil War, Noble Cause is a book to read, and keep, and remember forever.

Great again...the third one!
from San Antonio, Tx.
on 1/17/2014
This is the perfect suit for me. I swim laps daily in chlorine pools and it is just the best! I've been swimming for over 40 years, since my university insisted that each student took two lifetime sports with them upon graduation...what a blessing! The shelf bra is just the one I want . I used to blow through another brand continuously; thank goodness this one lasts!
Okay, I LOVE THIS SUIT!! LOVE!!

I am a size 40 in some of the other suits on this website and in this one i am a size 14. It fits perfect and i would not say to go up or down a size. I felt totally covered and that the breasts were supported well and the cut of the suit was not granny-looking but also not too high cut.l I'm 66 years old and swim laps 3 times a week, usually swimming for 40 minutes to an hour (swim a mile usually). This suit does feel a wee bit heavier than my old suit but the fact that it is fully lined and has a bra shelf is why and it is something I can deal with knowing I'm fully covered and I love the aqua color of the suit that I bought. I'm very happy with the suit; swam in it for the first time yesterday and it felt great! A young girl would look nice in this suit too I'm sure; it's a good quality suit that is athletically stylish and comfortable. It's not difficult to put on ... i don't know why people wrote that... this is the same way to get on as any other suit like this. Anyway I'm very pleased with the purchase and by the way you can't tell there's a bra lining in it really, it looks very natural.
Excellent suit

Have had two of these suits and have been very happy with them. I swim 5 to 6 times a week and this suit holds its shape and color for more than a year. I always order a size larger than my usual size.

I am new to water aerobics and had gotten a swimsuit at a warehouse store but it lasted only 2 months. I was so disappointed and then I was told about this website and their swimsuits. I am happy with my suit so far but it does run small so order at least one size bigger.
Love my swimsuit

I've bought 3 of the same style but different colors.Absolutely LOVE the suits!!

It's hard to put on and very tight. I like it once it's on, but very difficult getting it on.
True to size if you're use to lap suits
Big busted
from Florida
on 8/21/2014
Perfect lap suit. Nothing really special style wise, won't win you any swimsuit beauty pageants. I swim laps for an hour, then hang out in the pool for another 30 mins - 1 hr.... 5-7 days per week. I am extremely big busted and this suit was perfect, no cups, just a shelf bra. Snug enough to hold everything in place. Well made and compared to a few of my other lap suits, I can tell by the quality and fit, that this suit will last a very long time. Will probably buy another one, a different color.
Great suit
from Jefferson, OR
on 6/15/2014
I've had several of these suits, and they've all lasted two years or more. I do water aerobics 3 times a week, and this suit is supportive and covers well. I always buy a size larger in these.
Great swimsuit!
from New Haven, CT
on 6/5/2014
This is about the third of fourth time I've purchased one of these over the years and it fits great. It holds up better than any nylon suit I've ever had. I swim laps 3 or 4 days a week and this suit lasts for a couple of years at least.
sent back and ordered a different suit. love the new one. thanks
from casa granda, AZ
on 3/6/2014
Like the suit but was too low in the back. Returned it and purchased a different style. So far I like it. Use it for water arobics.

Even so, as one who likes red interiors, I can at least get by with the sport or m-sport lines. But I think BMW need to add a new interior color with the introduction of the F32: Estoril Blue, or whatever blue it is that would match that blue stripe that comes on the m-sport's dash.
Aside from the reasoning above, I think BMW should offer blue because it's a great interior color that'll look especially smart with pretty well all of the exterior colors they offer and because it's a color not often available from other mainstream car makers. Indeed, if one desires a blue interior, one has no choice but to buy a car costing well over $135K. So at the very least, I guess that makes blue an upscale color.
Also, I noticed that BMW relatively recently introduced some new interior colors for the 5 and 6 series -- that chocolate brown color and the orange color. So I think it's now the 3er's turn to get a color of it's own.
Lastly, some of you may recall back when the E92 came out, the red interior was unique -- among the 3ers -- to the coupe. So a blue that matches that stripe would be a good choice to give the F32 an interior color of its own.
They are trying desperately to stay ahead in the sales game and offering more colors etc slows reduction down. IMO their focus has moved from enthusiasts to luxury owners. Money talks and that's where the sales are.

Continuous Creation
Genesis 1
Revelation 21-22
We believe we are created in the image of God. What exactly does that mean? We know we are not created in the physical image of God. John tells us that Jesus said "God is a spirit," and while we have a spirit, we are not spirits. We are flesh and blood. We also know that, through sin, we have defaced God's image in ourselves. It is broken, marred, but not completely destroyed.

My wife and I are currently fulltime rv'ers and will continue to be for at least the next year. We are thinking about purchasing a Class A motorhome in the 100k to 150k price range. We also plan on purchasing a home (our first) in 0ne to two years. Financially it is well with in our means, but we were wondering if anyone knew if having a large rv payment (and owing a lot) would hurt us when we go to take out a mortgage on a home. Now, having enough money to make monthly payments is not an issue for us, we just want to know if owing that much will HURT us in the eyes of a mortgage lender. Thanks for any input.

Hello Sergio,
I wanted to reach out to you and share how much I
relate to the personal essays in Crossing Borders. I am currently an
undergrad student at the University of California, Irvine studying
Spanish with an emphasis in Education. Like the majority of immigrant
families in California, my family is originally from Mexico. Del Norte
del país, estado de Durango to be more specific, just like your family.
I truly admire how much involvement your parents had in your
education growing up. Most importantly, I admire you for carrying those
family values and raising Aaron and Isaac the way you did.
Unfortunately I grew up with a single mom, who worked until late hours
of the night to provide for my siblings and me. Now don't get me wrong,
I'll always be grateful for the sacrifice she's made for our family,
but she had very little involvement in my educational path. And as I
continue on this path, I see our relationship growing more distant.
Like you and your mother, my mom and I always had a really good
friendship, but being away from home has made it difficult to relate to
each other's lives.
I see myself growing apart from my mom,
my comfort zone, and for what purpose? I am surrounded by Asian, Middle
Eastern, and white students who walk around like they have their lives
figured out. Upper-class students who pull up to the parking lot in
their Audis, Mercedes, Lexus; they would never be able to relate to my
family's financial situation. They would never know what it's like to
sleep in the living room because their family of six can barely afford a two-room duplex located in what's considered the "ghetto." Yet here I am,
reading over your personal essays and reflecting on my decision to
cross this border. My decision to continue with my educational goals,
even if it meant growing apart from my mom, and her contribution to my
Mexican identity. So more than anything, I just wanted to say thanks.
Thank you for making me feel like I'm not alone.
I truly want
to make a difference in our Mexican-American/Latino community. The
families in our community need to make a change and be more college-oriented. We need more families like yours. More parents like Bertha
and Rodolfo because a "Mexican accent" doesn't stop them from getting
involved in their children's education. And for the parents who do not
have the time to get involved like my mom, at least get them to
understand the importance of a higher education.
Anyway, I hope
you get to read this really long message. Even if you don't respond, I
just want you to see the impact your personal essays had on my personal
life. Thank you and I am definitely interested in reading more of your
Alejandro Favela
Alejandro, I've read and re-read your letter several times. I write for
readers just like you, and I can only say thank-you for writing such a
wonderful, heartfelt letter to this writer. Every writer who toils alone
for years deserves a letter like this, which gives him encouragement to
keep writing. And yes, you are not alone. I am with you, if only from
I think it's a difficult journey we are making, but that
doesn't mean we shouldn't be making the journey. I think you should be
proud of your mother (as I am of my parents) for what they could teach
you, about hard work, sacrifice, friendship. She may not understand
everything you are doing now, but make an effort to get back into her
community, to teach her about what you know now and why it matters to
I know you will find others who assume their position in
life, who seem so much more sophisticated than you, who will
never understand the poverty you grew up with. I know I did. Take it as
an advantage, the advantage of being real, the advantage of knowing good people exist in all strata of life, the advantage of not being
easily consumed by things. I have met so many people who assume they are
right simply because they are rich. You show them otherwise. As a
teacher once told me, "You show them that a Mexicano can beat them with
his mind!"
Yes, you are right that I am trying to write about
the great values we have in our community, through books like Crossing Borders, and how to translate those values in other settings beyond
where we grew up. That's what will move our community forward, in my
opinion. I believe we should also criticize those values that are not
helpful to us, and leave them behind. I want this conversation to occur
in our community, so that we can be self-reflective, so that we can
improve ourselves, so that we can be proud of ourselves, yet without
being idealistic or romantic about our community.
Thank you for reading my work. You made my day.

Dallas 1963: Context and Questions
Dallas 1963 (Twelve, 2013), by Bill Minutaglio and Steven L. Davis, takes the reader back to the city of Dallas and to the years before that fateful day on November 22, 1963. In this 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, this important book raises several fascinating questions.
To what extent was Dallas already the "City of Hate" before the assassination? What role did conservative figures play in creating this paranoid milieu? How does this environment in part mirror current conservative attacks against President Barack Obama? Did the hateful environment in Dallas contribute to, or encourage, or explain Kennedy's assassination?
The Dallas of 1960 is a city where the Ku Klux Klan once had its national headquarters, the current mayor had once been an unabashed KKK member, and important statues celebrate Confederate heroes. The Dallas Morning News is led by publisher Ted Dealey, who refers to Washington, D.C. as "nigger town" and joins oilman H. L. Hunt in supporting the belief that the United Nations is creating a world socialist system. For them, JFK's support of Medicare is tantamount to "sweeping dictatorial power over medicine" and will create government death panels. This is Obamacare's déjà vu.
Joining these powerful citizens is Rev. W. A. Criswell of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, who sermonizes that JFK's Roman Catholicism is a "political tyranny" that threatens the very fabric of the U. S. of A. Meanwhile, General Edwin A. Walker resigns from the military, finds Dallas politically hospitable, and gives speeches to adoring local crowds where he exhorts unleashing nuclear holocaust on the Soviet Union, even at the price of millions of casualties stateside. Super-patriot Walker wants to overthrow the "totalitarian regime" of Kennedy, and files to run for Texas governor in February of 1962.
Stirring this toxic stew, and exploiting it, is Representative Bruce Alger from Dallas, the lone Republican in the Texas delegation, and an arch conservative. During a visit from Lyndon B. Johnson on the eve of the 1960 election, Alger leads a "mink coat mob" that attacks LBJ and Lady Bird Johnson. A sign in Alger's hands reads "LBJ Sold Out to Yankee Socialists."
Later when U. N. Ambassador Adlai Stevenson visits Dallas in October of 1963, Frank McGehee, the Dallas founder of the National Indignation Convention, adopts the tactics of conservative intimidation by leading a mob to disrupt Stevenson's speech. One protester, a Dallas insurance executive, slams a placard on Stevenson's forehead.
Oddly, Lee Harvey Oswald is a relatively minor figure in this book, a Socialist sympathizer who nearly assassinates General Walker in April of 1963 and later kills Kennedy. This is odd because Dallas 1963 repeatedly hints that the hateful conservative milieu in Dallas somehow portended JFK's assassination. But how exactly? Was Oswald drawn to Dallas because of its conservative fanaticism, and so he decided to combat it there? Why did he turn the rifle instead on JFK? These questions and any others explicitly linking the right-wing hate in Dallas to what happened on November 22, 1963 (at least the official and most likely version of events) are not answered in this book. We are left to make these links somehow on faith.
Dallas 1963 is a meticulously researched book that brings you back to a place and time beset by a mass or even class psychosis, where innuendo and wild accusations gain currency, where zealots sound reasonable, and wild and murderous ideas are taken seriously, and acted upon. The dark side of democratic rule, too often, is the rule of the mob. When that mob has power, money, news media, and well-spoken leaders, then the most inhumane acts can be perpetuated by societies in the name of what is 'right.' Dallas 1963 will help readers gain a perspective that resonates with the caustic politics that have unfortunately become the norm today.

First Week of College
I traveled 477 miles from New York City to Lawrence, Massachusetts, and back, to revisit Northern Essex Community College (NECC) last week. This time I was visiting the Bridge Program, a free primer for entering students to help them acclimate to college. These students, all Latino and mostly Dominicano, remind me of who I was over thirty years ago: a poor kid from the U.S.-Mexico border with no clue at Harvard. Coincidentally, this was the same week when my wife Laura and I dropped off our son Aaron at Yale, for the start of his freshman year.
One of the issues that stuck in my mind at NECC was this: how do we identify and help those poor kids who are driven to move up, who are ready to sacrifice for themselves and their families, and who are pulling themselves up by their boot straps, awkwardly, tentatively, but with an undeniable hunger? Because that's how I was.
In the United States, we spend so much effort militarizing the border, throwing money at the border security industrial complex, and giving air-time to fear-mongers only too eager to bash poor people and their neighborhoods. Imagine if we spent the same billions of dollars on identifying those children of undocumented workers with stellar school records, with the right family values to succeed, with the framework to be the best of citizens. Imagine if we helped these young people become productive college graduates and taxpayers.
Imagine if we made the effort to know poor Mexicano neighborhoods like Ysleta, where I grew up, to understand which families had disciplined parents, which families refused food stamps, like my own family, because the parents thought it was shameful. Instead of vilifying poor families as the parasites of society, instead of attacking these convenient and awful abstractions in pseudo 'arguments,' imagine making careful distinctions. Imagine doing the hard work of practical thinking, and implementing this as policy.
In class at NECC, we discussed my novel From This Wicked Patch of Dust, and then I went to lunch with the students, administrators, and teachers of the Bridge Program. I spoke to one young woman who made an impression on me. Kiara was focused and intelligent, she wanted to be a radiologist, her father was a taxi driver, and her sister had already graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell, after attending NECC. I had a long conversation with Kiara, and I could tell she was going places.
I had made that leap too, from being poor to the middle class, with loving but tough Mexicano parents who taught me to work beyond exhaustion and avoid the drugs and gangs of our neighborhood. I went from being marginalized in society, ignored, and even laughed at (sometimes by other Mexicanos and Chicanos full of envidia, jealousy), to self-education through cultural sacrifice, financial savings through pain, and learning-on-the-fly through fear. I saw a younger version of myself in Kiara. Will others take the time to see this potential in individuals like Kiara? I always have that hope.
This same week I told my son Aaron, as we moved him into Yale's Old Campus, that if he saw a poor student looking shell-shocked, as if Yale were a different planet from, say, the Chihuahuan Desert, to help that person, to give him or her advice, to be friendly. "Aaron, I was that freshman, I didn't even know what the Ivy League was, I was too quiet in class, I ate alone in the dining hall, at least at the beginning, I wasn't sure I belonged at Harvard. I thought they had made a mistake."
Our son Aaron is a New York City kid, savvy beyond his years. Before this week, he had visited Yale often, as the head of the Model United Nations group at his high school. I would have been intimidated by a freshman like Aaron. I would have marveled at the ease with which he navigated this strange world of the Ivy League. I know Aaron will take my advice to heart and seek out those who need help and who want to help themselves but may not know how. For two years in New York, Aaron volunteered to tutor poor students who could not afford to pay for expensive private tutors. We are proud of both Aaron and Isaac, not only for their intellectual prowess, but also for the good citizens they have become.
What Laura and I have always taught our kids is that we are connected to each other. Even if we struggled and succeeded, that does not mean we should only look after ourselves. We should help those coming up, who want what we have achieved, who have that same drive and discipline to achieve it, who deserve a chance. By helping los de abajo, you improve your entire community. By seeing and understanding those different from you, you remember who you were, you sharpen your empathy, you decide to find out for yourself (and not accept what you are told). By seeking out that 'other,' whoever that other may be, you will learn from them too.

Written by:
I try to treasure the fragile minutes
that crowns my head with finite youth.
But each precious year begs to leave,
as I struggle to find eternal truth.
I surround myself with human regrets
born from a growing garden of wrong choices.
These brittle days takes me through this earthly journey,
while the damaged air whispers of heavenly voices.
Sometimes time teaches me a bitter lesson in mortality,
whipping my temporary heart with human grief.
Salty tears blind my frail mortal eyes
to the eternal beauty of religious belief.
As my delicate life flees from time's erosion,
daily sorrows scar my emotional hearts.
But the knowledge my human brain collects
remains with my soul when my body departs.

Beat the heat with cool creamy rice pudding—almost any kind of rice you have in the pantry will do.
One thing I have in abundance in my pantry is rice—of all kinds, arborio for risotto, long-grain for stews, basmati for pilaf, jasmine for Thai food, wild rice for chowder, weheni for pork chops and apples, and brown rice for salads.
I even have bags of Uncle Ben's pre-made rice ready after just a 90-second stint in the microwave—a great thing to have on hand for kids or as a last minute side. Lastly, there's a 10 pound bag of sushi rice left over from a catering job a friend did.
So with rice on hand and the heat index a scorching 107F, cold, creamy rice pudding sounded perfect. I adapted a recipe in Fine Cooking magazine, which looked delicious and didn't include anything I didn't have on hand—primarily whole milk from a local dairy, that would be perfect.I ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
—By Jill Melton
The same rice that rises to the creamy challenge in risotto gives this super simple dessert a tasty twist.

NASA seeks innovations for space waste
Tuesday - 4/10/2012, 8:57am EDT
NASA is turning to innovators for ways to re-purpose waste in space.
The space agency is partnering with the State Department, USAID and Nike to solicit sustainability plans that could be applied to space missions. The LAUNCH: Beyond Waste challenge is accepting ideas through May 15.
"There are innovators out there who think differently than our engineers and scientists do, so we really do need them to reorder, reshape, revalue our thinking of design," Beth Beck, outreach manager for NASA's human exploration and operations mission directorate.
It costs up to $10,000 per pound to send things to space, and currently, 40 percent of the supplies sent to space consists of packaging, she said. A "super simple" solution would be to use radiation shielding as supply packaging. Another example applicable on earth is a biodegradable coffee cup containing seeds. "Drink the coffee, plant the cup and a tree comes up," Beck said.
"It's that kind of thinking — if we have a closed loop cycle — is whatever goes in keeps going around in circles and circles. Nothing spits out as waste," she said.
The LAUNCH challenge will accept 10 winners. There is no cash prize, but winners will be able to present their idea before the LAUNCH Council, consisting of people in business, government, science, technology and communications.
Winners "get a Rolodex of all these great thought leaders that they would maybe have 30 seconds in an elevator [with]," Beck said.
The partners in the challenge also work with the winners for up to six months to prepare the presentation.
A winning idea will not automatically be used by NASA. But the agency is looking into using some of the pitches. One idea, for example, is a film that purifies waste water.
"The cool thing about LAUNCH is we haven't gone in looking for specific technologies, but we've walked away with several technologies for NASA specifically that we're interested in," Beck said.

Welcome to Benson Eye Clinic
The eye doctors at Benson Eye Clinic believe in providing quality eye care for you and your family. We take the time to get to know you, your eye care history and your vision needs. Doctor Kurt Hofeldt knows that getting the right prescription involves balancing several factors, including clear eyesight, visual efficiency and your ability to process visual information seamlessly.
Getting the right prescription for your eyeglasses or contact lenses is an important part of good eye care. However, even if your vision is sharp, it is important to have regular eye exams once a year with an optometrist. Whether you need a routine eye examination, an eyeglasses fitting, treatment for an eye disease (such as keratoconus, glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy) or even eye surgery such as LASIK or cataract surgery, our eye doctors will provide you with expert care, advice, options and follow up.
Quality Eye Care in Kent, Washington
From our office in Kent, WA, Benson Eye Clinic has been providing eye care for Kent, Renton, Auburn and the South King County region since 1996. Our team is highly trained and has combined over 40 years of optometric experience. Schedule an appointment with us today to see how we can help you get the best prescription for your eyes.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I really wanted a two sided direction card because I needed directions to church and then from church to the reception venue. Because my design is pretty minimal they had no problem doing that and at no extra charge. I also got this in purple with the shimmer. Great size too!"
"This colorful insert was just what we wanted, and complemented our invitations perfectly! I loved having inserts in addition to our invitation, because it added so much more color to the whole package! The vertical lay-out allows room for lots of information to be printed on the card."
"You can personalized every word on this card. You can use it for Directions or Accommodations or Wedding Information, whatever you need it to say. The paper was the perfect card stock and the printing was flawless. The proof process was simple and quick. We received our invitations a week earlier than the original estimate."
"I ordered the invitations and then I had to order the enclosure cards... they're so pretty & printed on a lovely, durable, textured paper! I really like them a lot."
"I ordered these enclosure cards with the custom "Oasis" blue color to go along with my invitations. It was exactly what I wanted and perfect for directions and extra information you need to let your guests know about."

Kentucky football coach Mark Stoops gets contract extension
Lexington, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Kentucky has signed head football coach Mark Stoops to a contract extension through the 2018 season.
The new agreement extends the deal from Dec. 31, 2017 to June 30, 2019.
"We are excited about the enthusiasm and recruiting success that Mark and his staff have brought to our football program," director of athletics Mitch Barnhart said in a statement Tuesday. "We had the nation's second-largest increase in attendance last season and we have had the two largest spring-game attendances in school history (in 2013 and 2014).
"In recruiting, Mark and his tireless assistant coaches have made an obvious impact with their first two classes and that momentum is carrying forward for 2015."
The Wildcats went just 2-10 in Stoops' first and only season so far in Lexington.
