Archives Relocate to Museum Resource Center
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Date: February 18, 2014
WASHINGTON — Consistent with its mission to preserve the nation's treasures, the National Park Service (NPS) will relocate the National Archives for Black Women's History collection from Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site to the NPS's Museum Resource Center in Landover, Maryland. The relocation is in response to a site evaluation that documented inadequate conditions to appropriately house the archives.
The Museum Resource Center is the central curatorial facility for more than 5 million documents and museum objects from national parks throughout the region. It features modern environmental systems that maintain appropriate humidity and temperature, research laboratories and a cold storage vault for sensitive materials. The facility already houses some material from the Mary McLeod Bethune Council House collections alongside those from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, Ford's Theatre National Historic Site, Arlington House, Clara Barton National Historic Site and other national parks.
The archives will be closed beginning February 18 through March 9, 2014. Researchers may request appointments for March 10 and after by contacting the Museum Resource Center at (301) 832-3967 or email: e-mail us.
The NPS will evaluate whether it's feasible to return the National Archives for Black Women's History to Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site. For additional information please visit www.nps.gov/mamc.
Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Site, 1318 Vermont Avenue, NW, will remain open (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 7-days a week) to interpret the legacy of Mary McLeod Bethune, the National Council of Negro Women, and other associated Civil Rights organizations and leaders, including notable figures such as Dr. Dorothy Height.
Did You Know?
Eleanor Roosevelt twice came to Daytona Beach, Florida, as the guest of Mary McLeod Bethune. She stayed in Mrs. Bethune's home on the campus of the Bethune-Cookman College.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (10/100/1000) PHY in TSMC 28nm HPM
Jointwave zero-latency video transmission solution on Altera FPGA
March 26, 2014 -- Semiconductor IP H.264/H.265 silicon IP core provider Jointwave published a series of video encoding and decoding RTL IP cores. It has been successfully applied in business, industrial, avionics and military areas including UAV, remote medical treatments, wireless monitors WDE, video commanding, space crafts, etc.
The IP core's highlights are listed below:
- The encoder and decoder can achieve zero latency (less than 2 ms) while transmitting videos, which is why it is used in remote medications, wireless display, military combat commanding and drone controlling areas
- Lossless video: A 1080P@60FPS HD video's data size is 3Gbps. By implementing H.264 Intra Only mode with 4:4:4 color space, the video can achieve lossless quality at data size of only 50Mbps to 500Mbps. A 4Gbps fiber can transmit 8 to 20 streams of 1080P@60FPS simultaneously.
- By using H.264 Intra Only compression does not require an external storage (i.e. DDR modules).
- A single H.264 encoding IP core FPGA(Altera Stratix 10) with maximum performance can achieve 4K×4K@30fps super high resolutions.
- Every H.264 encoding IP core FPGA(Altera Arria 10) Platform can achieve simultaneous 16 streams of 480P@30FPS encoding.
- Color space supports 4:0:0 / 4:2:0 / 4:2:2 / 4:4:4
- Color Depth supports 8bit /. 10bit / 12bit / 14bit
- Compression ratio can range from 1/10~1/1000
- Supports maximum bitrate of 500Mbps.
- Anti-system-halting
- Adaptive FPS according to signal channel changes
Jointwave Asia-Pacific chairman Thomas Wang says: "Jointwave's H.264 IP core and the H.265 IP core order which will be delivered at the second half of 2014 has the maximum performance available on FPGA platforms (Altera Cyclone V & Arria V). It is the only system in the world that that can achieve zero-latency 1080P@60FPS on FPGA-based real-time codec system."
zero-latency Demonstration photo on Arria V 1080P@60FPS
These H.264 IP cores have been applied onto ASIC in the form of RTL source code, and used by many FPGA customers in the form of RTL source code and netlist. Other than that Jointwave has build a high-end presentation and design reference platforms. This reference design works with 2 FPGA boards connected with Ethernet cable, or a board and a PC with Ethernet cable and UDP protocol. The encoder board receives uncompressed video data from HD media player via a HDMI cable, then encodes it to H.264 video stream, transmits the stream to the decoder board, the decoder board then decodes the stream to YUV data and displays it on another monitor. The demo system not only greatly reduces IP evaluation time for FPGA/ASIC design engineers, it also gives convenience to customers for prototype verifications.

I had my worries when the first chapter went back to a great great grandfather story, but in the end this is just an example of the approach of being one seriously complete biographical chronology.
With access to some of Henson's personal journals as well as a suite of the key people, the author has done a great job walking you through the twists and turns which made this life. I leave the book with specifics I did not know (Kermit did not start as a frog - really?), with a YouTube playlist of old mesmerizing performances the author pointed me to, and with a recognition not just of a man's genius but the amazing amount of hard work and drive that Henson expended to recognize this genius and change the world some small bit.
Good solid performance helping keep the material from getting too dry. Enjoyed the stretch to capture certain Muppet voices - each of which drove a flashback to childhood comfort and a small smile.
If you are looking for an abridged narration of a story told in dramatic language showcasing a suite of magical moments, this is not the book for you. If you want a straight well-told complete chronological biography of a complex life, this should be right up your alley.

President Barack Obama & Michelle's hug conquers the Internet!
Those of us who voted for President Barack Obama are basically doing a happy dance this morning and it seems that much of the internet is doing one, too. An adorable photo of re-elected President Barack Obama hugging wife Michelle Obama was tweeted yesterday with the words "four more years"--and it has now hit the record books as the most retweeted photo EVER, basically taking over the internet last night.
Read more ¿Qué más? Why I'm voting to re-elect President Barack Obama & you should too!
No matter what side of the political fence you sit on, though, you can definitely admit that this is a simply amazing photo of a very sweet moment. Now, this photo isn't actually a reaction to last night's re-election news, but it was sent right at the moment when the announcement was made and, as MSN Now put it, "seems to speak to the relief they must be feeling right now."
Read more ¿Qué más? Ricky Martin thanks President Obama for showing support for same-sex marriage and so do I!
Well, I've always been a fan of the president and his wife and this photo only goes to show that I'm not the only one. And, of course, the President only has good things to say about his family in his re-election acceptance speech last night:
I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. Let me say this publicly: Michelle, I have never loved you more. I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as our nation's first lady. Sasha and Malia, before our very eyes you're growing up to become two strong, smart beautiful young women, just like your mom. And I'm so proud of you guys.
Seriously, how can your heart not melt when you hear that? I'm just going to end it with AWWWW and four more years!

Home for the super-rich to be created from annexe of The Hempel Hotel and garden square
Published: 14 July 2014
Updated: 11:54, 14 July 2014
The appetite of the mega-rich for superhomes in London appears to have reached new heights with controversial plans to turn part of a hotel into a huge private house.
The grand white stucco townhouse in Bayswater, formerly an annexe to The Hempel, a five-star hotel with a roll-call of illustrious former guests including Victoria and David Beckham and Michael Jackson, would measure a massive 8,353 sq ft.
Its facilities would include a basement leisure suite with cinema, pool and gym, a master suite covering two floors and including his and hers bathrooms, a "dressing suite" and a bespoke shoe closet. The upper floors of the six- storey building will contain a further six bedrooms.
The most controversial element of the scheme is to take a section of Craven Hill Gardens' square as a private space for the home. The square is still owned by Hempel Holdings and two thirds of it has been allocated for use by local residents. It is proposed that the remaining third become a garden for the new house.
Private gardens: Craven Hill Gardens, Bayswater (Picture: Jeremy Selwyn) This element has caused uproar among locals who believe that the square should remain public. Many feel the size of the proposed private area is "excessive" and would "destroy the integrity of a 130-year-old communal garden square".
John Zamit, chairman of the South East Bayswater Residents' Association, said: "If this goes ahead it takes away a third of the garden for residents. We are fighting for the garden to remain the whole size, not be hived off for the private house."
The Hempel, founded by the interior designer Anoushka Hempel in the Sixties and famed for its minimal style, closed in 2013 and its entire contents were auctioned off.
The main hotel building has been purchased by developer British Land for a reported £33 million. It plans to convert the building into 18 high-end apartments.
The annexe, meanwhile, was sold to 17 Craven Hill Gardens Ltd, and a report submitted to Westminster council explains that its proposals for the property would meet a need for family-sized housing in an area dominated by flats.
A report on the project by Rosemarie MacQueen, the council's strategic director, says: "The use of part of the garden square to form a private garden... would result in a distinct change in the character and appearance of that part of the garden square, and would also affect the original form and proportions of the garden square.
"The impact is a particular concern for neighbouring residents."
Ms MacQueen recommends that the application, due to be heard by the council's planning committee, be rejected.
A spokesman for 17 Craven Hill Gardens said: "We have recently become aware of some local objections to the development proposals for 17 Craven Hill Gardens and we are in the process of modifying the plans."

By BLOOMBERG, Investor's Business Daily
Treasuries fell Tuesday as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the central bank's unprecedented asset purchases during congressional testimony, fueling demand for riskier assets.
Benchmark 10-year note yields rose from a one-month low as the central bank chief said monetary stimulus is supporting the economic expansion with little risk of inflation or asset-price bubbles. U.S. debt rallied the most since November on Monday as investors sought the safety after inconclusive elections in Italy triggered concern Europe's debt crisis would intensify. The Treasury sold $35 billion of five-year securities as part of its $99 billion in note sales this week.
"After the Bernanke talk, the bid for Treasuries faded as the market is taking a breather," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott, which oversees $12 billion in fixed-income assets. "Government policy and the Fed are driving Treasury trading."
The 10-year yield rose two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 1.88% as of 5:01 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The price of the 2% note maturing in February 2023 lost 5/32, or $1.56 per $1,000 face amount, to 101-2/32.
The yield reached 1.84%, the lowest level since Jan. 24. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index of stocks gained 0.6%.
Treasuries of all maturities have returned 0.5% this month, while losing 0.4% this year, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes. U.S. debt returned 2.2% in 2012.
The 10-year term premium — a model that includes expectations for interest rates, growth and inflation — reached negative 0.73% today, the most costly level since Jan. 23. A negative reading indicates investors are willing to accept yields below what's considered fair value.
The five-year securities drew a yield of 0.777%, compared with a forecast of 0.771% in a Bloomberg News survey of seven of the Fed's 21 primary dealers. The bid-to-cover ratio, which gauges demand by comparing total bids with the amount of securities offered, was 2.85, vs. 2.88 last month and an average of 2.86 at the past 10 sales.
"It suggests that the secondary market is efficiently priced," said Scott Sherman, an interest-rate strategist at New York-based Credit Suisse Group, a primary dealer. "Despite the rally, people are more than happy to still buy at these levels. The five-year auction suggests concerns are still alive."
Indirect bidders, a class of investors that includes foreign central banks, bought 41.7% of the notes after purchasing 39.7% in January. The average for the past 10 offerings is 40.9%.
Treasuries rose for a second day with central banks in Europe and China increasing stimulus measures amid signs of slowing growth, raising the relative attractiveness of higher-yielding U.S. government debt. The difference in yields between benchmark 10-year Treasury notes and comparable German ...
Treasuries rose, pushing yields on 30-year bonds to almost the lowest level this month, after a report showed that inflation remains below the Federal Reserve's target even with the economy expanding and adding jobs. The U.S. sale of $13 billion in inflation-index notes received higher-than-average ...
Treasuries fell as minutes from the Federal Reserve's last meeting failed to change investor expectations that policymakers are moving closer to raising borrowing costs next year. Yields fluctuated after the initial release of the minutes as investors noted central-bank officials had focused on ...
Treasuries fell for the first time in three days as a report showing U.S. industrial production unexpectedly declined last month failed to derail investor expectations for higher interest rates next year. The 10-year yield had touched the lowest in a week as a report showed Japan's gross domestic ...
Treasuries gained for the first time in three days amid speculation inflation will remain low as the Federal Reserve gets closer to raising interest rates. Government securities briefly pared gains after the U.S. auction of $16 billion in 30-year debt drew lower-than-average demand. Crude oil ...

We will be arriving at LGA at 10:30 pm on a Sunday night. We have a international 6 pm flight out of JFK on Monday, so I am guessing we will need to be at JFK at 3 pm.
We will need a room for the night. Which would be best: stay near one or other hotel for the night or head into NYC for a hotel? And if we stay near one of the airports - better to stay near LGA and then head to JFK next day or head to JFK area hotel when we land Sunday night?
Suggestions on where to stay and logistics of getting from LGA to hotel to JFK would be most welcomed. Despite being a native NYer - I haven't had to do this type of transfer.
Arr LGA; depart JFK - hotel?
We will be arriving at LGA at 10:30 pm on a Sunday night. We have a international 6 pm flight out of JFK on Monday, so I am guessing we will need to be at JFK at 3 pm.

You mights as well come into Manhattan and enjoy your time until 2 PM rather than be stranded at one of the airport hotels.
Report Abuse
Both of those airports are in NYC, so I guess you are asking if you should stay in Manhattan? I would if you find someplace you like. Long Island City might be a less expensive option.
Report Abuse
I am trying to eliminate taxi rides to and from airport/hotel/airport and keep the hotel around $150.
Report Abuse
I would definitely stayin Manhattan. There are only a couple of places near LGA - none more than basic - and and JFK ditto.
And getting from one at LGA to JFK the next day will require a taxi or car ervice - or taking a shuttle back to LGA and then getting a bus or taxi there - and a really boring day.
You could try to get a bus shuttle from LGA to JFK the night you arrive and then a hotel shuttle to a boring hotel by the side of the highway with no service - but hotel shuttles might not be operating by the time you get to JFK - and then you wold spend the next day bored there.
Arriving at that time of night - probably 11:30 by the time you get to a cab assuming you have checked luggage - it will be at least as fast to get to midtown as to a hotel near JFK.
Report Abuse
Taxi rides to and fro should be less than that. But I would do a car service (Carmel or Dial 7) to JFK on Monday afternoon. Car service that you call in advance will be more convenient and they fix prices so as to match cabs. Look for coupons on websites.
Taxi is about $70 including tip and toll from Manhattan to JFK. At that time of night cab from LGA to midtown should be no more than $40 or so - so easily within your budget.
Report Abuse
Any thoughts on Z Hotel in Long Island City? Would that be easy to get to by taxi from LGA? And then to JFK?
Report Abuse
Taxis cruise mostly in Manhattan - and that primarily below 96th ST - and at the airports. You can get to the hotel (although I know nothing about it - either quality or location) by taxi - but I would have directions on how to get there - since the cabbie might not know.
And don't count on getting a cab back to JFK - I would arrange a car service.
Report Abuse
Think we are going to go with Affinia Shelbourne.
Report Abuse
I've stayed there and it's a really nice hotel!
Report Abuse
I used to go to quarterly meetings at the Shelbourne. It was always well maintained and a very pleasant staff. I like the Affinia Dumont on 34th better. If you stay at Shelbourne there are scores of Indian restaurants nearby.

Judgment day arrives in the South Pacific
Descendants of the 'Bounty' mutineers will learn today whether claims of endemic sexual abuse are upheld
Sunday 24 October 2004
The two-way radio system used to communicate between households on Pitcairn Island crackled to life as Steve Christian, the Mayor, vented his fury about an offence of the utmost gravity: the use of the radio's public channel to sing "Happy Birthday" to Simon Moore, a New Zealand prosecutor.
The two-way radio system used to communicate between households on Pitcairn Island crackled to life as Steve Christian, the Mayor, vented his fury about an offence of the utmost gravity: the use of the radio's public channel to sing "Happy Birthday" to Simon Moore, a New Zealand prosecutor.
The strain of recent weeks has plainly taken its toll on Mr Christian, 53, who will learn today whether he has been convicted of six rapes and four indecent assaults, allegedly carried out against young girls 30 to 40 years ago.
After a month of evidence in the public hall in Adamstown, three judges imported from New Zealand will deliver their verdicts on Mr Christian and six other men, including his son, Randy. The defendants are charged with dozens of offences against children aged as young as five in the British dependent territory.
Prosecutors - who were also shipped in from New Zealand, 3,000 miles away - have painted a picture of a remote island community in which young girls were routinely raped and abused by adult men. Seven women who grew up on Pitcairn told the court, by video-link from Auckland, of childhoods blighted by repeated assaults.
One accused, Dennis Christian, has already pleaded guilty, and another, Dave Brown, has made limited admissions. The rest will find out today whether their attempts to challenge the credibility of the alleged victims were successful. Any sentences will be pronounced next Thursday. The radio incident took place amid rising tensions ahead of the verdicts. A Kent police constable, Max Davidson, used the frequency reserved for public announcements such as shipping schedules to serenade Mr Moore, the Pitcairn public prosecutor.
An irate Steve Christian leapt on to the radio, and ordered his sister, Brenda, the local police officer, to investigate the incident.
British diplomats stationed on the island were forced to intervene, thus averting the intriguing scenario of Mrs Christian arresting her superior in the policing hierarchy. The trials are nearing their conclusion more than four years after Kent police began an investigation that uncovered widespread claims of child sex abuse on Pitcairn. The inquiry was triggered by a single complaint by a local girl, whose mother reported it to a visiting Kent officer, Gail Cox. Mr Christian, an influential figure since his teens, allegedly took it upon himself to sexually initiate girls at the age of 12 or 13. His son, Randy, is charged with raping a 10-year-old girl in the mid-1990s, a generation later.
As judgment day approached in a case that has devastated the tiny community founded by Fletcher Christian and the Bounty mutineers, daily life continued as if nothing was amiss.
On Thursday, locals welcomed 100 Americans from a cruise ship which stopped off at Pitcairn for the day, en route to Tahiti. Islanders ferried the tourists around the dirt roads on their quad bikes, while Steve Christian hosted a fish and chip lunch at his family home. There is no immediate prospect of closure for a tiny community that has lived in the international limelight for weeks. If any of the men are convicted and given jail sentences, they will remain free on bail until two legal challenges to the court's authority have been heard. Defence lawyers will go to Auckland next February to argue that British law was never promulgated on the South Pacific island, and locals were thus not aware that they could be prosecuted under laws such as the Sexual Offences Act of 1956.
And later next year, the Privy Council in London will rule on whether Britain actually has sovereignty over Pitcairn. Lawyers argue that it was settled not by British subjects but by "rebels and traitors". If they convince the Privy Council, the trials will be declared null and void.

Turning Point Camp, a camp held for children with emotional and mental disorders, had a successful inaugural event in Chattanooga last week and future camps are already being planned.
Attachment is at the root of most mental illnesses, according to Hardwired to Connect: The New Scientific Case for Authoritative Communities. The report (http://www.americanvalues.org/ExSumm-print.pdf) was written by a group of 33 leading children's doctors, neuroscientists, research scholars and mental health professionals. Of these mental disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is often misunderstood or undiagnosed. Most local therapists know little about it. While all professional therapists have heard of disorders such as Oppositional Defiance Disorder, OCD, ADHD and Anxiety disorders, few are familiar or experienced in the treatment of RAD. Due to current research and more accurate diagnoses, however, this is changing.
Turning Point Camp Host Jennie Landreth's own adopted daughter was diagnosed with RAD. For years, Ms. Landreth was the target of her daughter's rage and anxiety that was, some say, caused by trauma she experienced before her adoption.
"We had gotten to the end of our rope and were terrified of what lay ahead for our daughter. We had tried everything," said Ms. Landreth. "We sought help from every professional we could find and still just ended up watching our daughter get worse and worse. After how much the camp we attended helped my family - it was just the next logical step," Landreth says. "We have to keep passing along this message because local professionals don't know enough about Reactive Attachment Disorder to be able to help the families in our community. This is a great way to train them as well and we hope to have more local therapists become involved in this camp. It is my hope that if I can help even just one family with the camp and the seminars, that I can pay it forward and keep hope alive for other families that are out there struggling with RAD and other mental disorders."
According to attendees, the camp was successful in helping not just one family, but many that were feeling hopeless and desperate due to the aforementioned disorders that existed within their own families.
Camp Attendee Tim Stowell and his family were skeptical of the camp, but desperate enough to give it a try.
"I went to the camp somewhat optimistic, but also doubtful," Mr. Stowell said. "Camp ended this past Saturday and I am still dumbfounded at the change it has wrought on our family's life. Never in my wildest dreams could I have believed this possible in so short a time."
To read more firsthand accounts from other attendees, visit Turning Point Camp's website.
The next Turning Point Camp will be held at Fort Bluff Camp in Dayton on March 9-15, 2014, and is sponsored by Advanced Parents Stepping Up (APSU). Seminars will also be held March 6 and 7, 2014 by highly sought after Author and Therapeutic Parenting Specialist Nancy Thomas. These seminars are available to educators and mental health professionals and may potentially be used as continuing education credits and professional development hours. Turning Point Camp Director Nancy Thomas will also be facilitating the camp.

Mike Thrasher Presents follows the money to punk, metal
|| Print |
|Articles - February 2011
|Thursday, January 27, 2011
Page 3 of 3
These days Thrasher mainly works in the office, negotiating deals with agents and leading marketing efforts. His company employs four production managers, six office staffers and three marketers.
Thrasher's team, like other promoters and venues in town, is working harder than ever to sell concert tickets.
"I can see from my vantage point better than most," Roseland owner Leiken says. "I can see when people are spending money and I can see when they're getting choosy. Right now they're getting choosy. The kid going to multiple shows six months ago is now going to one."
Thrasher has responded by cutting back on the number of shows he does from a peak of 511 in 2008 to 382 in 2010. While the change was partly due to the economy, he says at their height, "We were competing with our own shows."
He also has negotiated lower ticket prices with bands, sometimes by getting groups to play smaller venues that are more likely to sell out, lowering his risk. The latter can work out better financially for both parties, he says. Fans are sometimes willing to pay more for tickets to see their favorite group in a more intimate setting and it can boost the image of the band, which is more likely to quickly sell out a smaller club, he says.
When the Black Keys came to Portland earlier this year, they originally wanted to play Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, which seats 2,700. Because of a scheduling conflict, Thrasher booked them two nights at the Crystal Ballroom, which seats 1,500 and is less expensive. Both shows sold out the first week, which encouraged the band to return for another show in December.
To make sure that show sold out, as he does for every show, Thrasher turned to his street team.
"This is a guy that's been around and he's built himself up from nothing," Solomon says. "He has not just built a name for himself but Mike Thrasher shows, people know Mike Thrasher shows."

Tuesday, 17 Dec 2013 07:40 PM
U.S. Rep. Tom Latham announced Tuesday he won't seek re-election in 2014, creating a potentially competitive race for a seat that likely would have favored the 10-term Iowa Republican.
The 65-year-old Republican from Clive will have spent 20 years in Congress and is Iowa's senior U.S. House member. The decision creates an open seat that includes the Des Moines area in central Iowa and the vast rural tracts of southern and western Iowa.
The news, coming late Tuesday, took Iowa's GOP senior strategists by surprise.
"It's a bombshell politically in Iowa because he was so strong," said Doug Gross, a longtime aide to Republican Gov. Terry Branstad and former nominee for governor. "It throws open a congressional seat in a very, very important district I think you'll have a scrum on both sides. I think you'll have lots of interest."
Democrat Staci Appel, a former state senator from Ackworth, had already announced her plans to seek the seat before Latham's decision.
Latham was heavily courted this year by Iowa Republicans, especially Branstad, and the national GOP to seek Iowa's open Senate seat in 2014, but he turned that down in February. Five-term Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin announced in January that he would retire, and several Republicans have announced their candidacies.
Latham is a member of the Appropriations Committee and chairman of the transportation subcommittee. He's known for his friendship with House Speaker John Boehner and his love of golf.
