State Reps. Rafael Anchia and Ana Hernandez Luna on Wednesday will call for the Legislature to pass a resolution urging leaders in Washington to enact immigration reforms.
In his State of the Union, President Barack Obama asked for an immigration bill within the next few months.
The Texas Legislature has been conspicuously silent as immigration has returned to the political forefront.
Majority Republicans haven't resurrected contentious immigration bills that roiled the statehouse in 2011.
Texas has more at stake than most states in the immigration debate, with nearly 2 million illegal immigrants and a 1,200-mile border with Mexico.

Recess: Play and Pray
Rosie Fiasche, a freshman at Dominican and first-year student leader in the Student Leadership and Ministry (SLAM) program, shares her experiences on the Fall retreat to the Sinsinawa Mound.
Over the long weekend in October, I went on my first retreat to the Sinsinawa Mound. It was not only my first time at the Mound but it was also my first time leading a retreat. It was an amazing experience. The theme this year was "Recess: A Mid-Semester Break to Play and Pray." During this retreat we explored our inner child and how to find peace and joy as college students. We had a few sessions that explored different aspects of our theme.
Session 1 was Letting Go, where we reflected on what stresses and frustrations we experience, and we spent time focusing on how to let go. Session 2 was Peace and Joy – the fun session. We recreated the best parts of our childhood: singing, playing outside, making a craft, and we also had time to meditate and think about how to cope with stress. It was a time to let go and be a kid again. During my nature walk I started climbing and jumping off the rock walls around the grounds. It was fun because it reminded me of what I use to do as a child. I used to climb everything!
Session 3 was about Trust. A child often gives trust easily, but when we get older it is harder to trust because we might have had challenges that stop us. The session was special because we had time to talk to some Sinsinawa Sisters. They told us many stories of their time in ministry, which were so heartfelt and emotional. The stories I heard surprised me. Sister Nora Ryan told us of her work as a Chaplain in a hospital during the AIDS epidemic. I know there is suffering in the world, but to get a first hand account of it was moving. The Sisters talked about trusting God and how trusting God is a slow work, and it takes time. I thought back to a poem called The Slow Work of God by Teilhard de Chardin, SJ.
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything
to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something
unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through
some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don't try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances
acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
Humans are such impatient beings; we want things right here, right now. We cannot wait for our future to come, for our lives to begin. But the thing is, time isn't going to go faster just because we want it to. One of the lines of the poem I found especially true was, "and it may take a very long time."
As a leader, I saw great changes happening within our small group. It was inspiring to hear their stories. They weren't afraid to let go, trust not only themselves but other people, and they were willing to find peace and experience joy. Above all, we had fun and that's what we wanted to do. By the end of the weekend my face and stomach hurt from laughing and smiling all day. We created a community.
Do you think you can let go and move forward with a new destination in mind? Are you able to trust freely? Will you let yourself find peace and joy? Most of all, what can you do to receive this and pass it on to others?
New Hope
Elizabeth Dworzecki shares her experience at the "Just Food" Alternative Break Immersion trip.
For our long weekend at Dominican, many students stay at home, study, do homework, or relax. My long weekend was exactly the opposite. Last weekend, with 8 other Dominican students and 2 staff members, I went on an Alternative Break Immersion through University Ministry called "Just Food". One of the main purposes of this service trip was to use our voice to address issues of social justice surrounding food. This includes concerns about access to food and corruption in the food industry.
On Friday we all met at school at 8am, had a breakfast and started our trip right here in the city of Chicago. Our first stop was at a very green, efficient restaurant called West Town Bakery and Diner. From their website I went back to find out the exact details of how "green" they really were. West Town always uses local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. They strive to use as many local and all-natural ingredients as possible, down to the flour, butter, eggs, nuts, chocolate, milk, fruits, vegetables, oils—everything. Their products come in environmentally friendly packaging. They even make deliveries in hybrid vehicles and use green-approved lighting in the bakeries. And when they are done for the day, they compost, recycle, and use eco-friendly products to clean up. It was truly inspiring to know that there is a restaurant that cares this much and shows that it is possible. I learned how much every other restaurant truly wastes and harms the environment.
Later on we went to Logan Square and had a lunch challenge among the group. We went to a food desert, where there are no grocery stores for a couple miles, and many people depend on public transportation to get around. Some went to a "liquor store/gas station" and some to a food co-op called the Dill Pickle with only $25 to purchase a lunch meal for each other. This activity was a lot harder than it looked. It truly was an experience to see how difficult it would be to live in a food desert area and support a family as well.
We then arrived in Iowa at the New Hope Catholic Worker Farm. It was a lot different than I had expected, but, then, I really didn't know what to expect at the time! I imagined a big red barn and horses, but it was nothing like that. It was more of a little community of 4 houses clustered together. There were about 15 individuals including children that live on this farm. They focus on joy, team work, forgiveness, and most importantly simple living. Many of us could not even imagine how simple and possible it is for people to live and survive this way in today's world.
There were many differences between the New Hope Farm in Iowa and just River Forest itself. They found ways to live without running water, barely any meat in their diet, minimal energy by using solar panels, and using animals on the farm for the direct food that they will be eating that day. They had a cow, many chickens, sheep, and a dog on this farm, and from those animals (besides the dog!) they had received what they were going to use for food or fabric. It was quite the culture shock for me, but I have learned more than I could have ever imagined.
This Alternative Break Immersion, "Just Food" has taught me how it is truly possible to live without all the fancy, expensive, planet-harming things that we live with. It has taught me to be more earth-connected and to use what the earth has to give us in the most beneficial way. We are taught to always "think big" in school, but this weekend I have learned the exact opposite, to "think little." Many of us want to make more money, or own more, but how about thinking of simply spending less money – to minimize waste, water, and energy usage and to help the environment since we know it may not last forever? We need to disconnect with this busy, fast-paced world, and connect more with the earth and Mother Nature herself. It's not easy for all of us to jump into this simple-living life; we need to make baby steps, baby steps to a more simple and earth-efficient life.
Service in the Streets
Our new Marketing Assistant, Kathleen Burns, shares her first experience with our Service in the Streets program.
"Don't trust yourself, trust God," Jones told us. Jones, a small man with a message grander than the city itself, lit up the street corner. He'd sat at that very same corner every day for four years. When we first approached him his head hung low and his arm modestly held out a plastic cup. We introduced ourselves and talked with him about his day. "Let me tell you all something," Jones said, using his free hand to move his wheelchair towards us. He smiled as he told us, "God is good." He then proceeded to tell us briefly about his story. How he had become severely handicapped as a child and lived through losing all of his remaining family members. At the end he smiled again, "God is good. Trust Him – once I learned that, everything changed."
Jones was just one of the many incredible people I connected with on my very first Service in the Streets trip. There was James, a quiet man who'd lost his job after the passing of his brother. Cardboard signs were balanced all around him; asking for money and saying 'God bless whoever takes the time to read this.' There was Lawrence, whose lively jokes and energy brought smiles to all of our faces and who when offered food, said he didn't need it as much as his friends did. He told us he'd give them our sandwiches when he returned to sleep under the bridge with them that night. Even though each of their stories were so different and their attitudes unique, they all had two things in common. First, they all took the time to shake each of our hands and ask our names. The second was that each one mentioned in some way, God. They thanked God, wished God upon us, or as Jones did, told us to trust God fully. The fact that they all mentioned God or that they were teaching me so much surprised me. Afterwards, I heard multiple people on the service trip with me say, "the homeless helped us more than our sandwiches helped them."
The Service in the Streets program completely shattered my idea of the homeless. It flipped my concerns and assumptions around. I was always told to avoid eye contact, and just walk quickly past anyone camped out on the streets. I always wished I could do something for them, but never found a way to. Service in the Streets gave me that opportunity. Instead of avoiding these people living on the streets, my team and I were seeking them. Instead of ignoring them, we asked them how they were doing that day. Instead of dismissing their coins clanking in their cups, we gave them a fresh meal. When we talked with them, I felt so still. The world seemed to just zoom by as we stood still, taking the time to connect with each other. My biggest worry about going on this trip was not being able to talk with the homeless. I thought I would just be silent the whole time while my team members had conversations with them. My fears quickly disappeared. After watching my team leader connect with the first man we met, I was ready to try. It became so easy. I think it's easy for us to forget that they are just people. I also quickly realized that our questions and conversations were just as important to them as the sandwiches we gave.
As previously said, each person I met that day helped my spirit just as much as our food helped them. Service in the Streets was an incredible experience that was so easy to become a part of. I strongly encourage everyone to attend our upcoming trips on October 25th and October 30th. Even if you feel nervous or have never even thought of doing something like this; come join. I wasn't sure at first, but am now so thankful that I decided to go. I am so excited for my next experience with Service in the Streets. When we told Jones we'd be back on another trip, he told us to visit him again and chuckled, "Lord knows I'll be here!"
Stepping Back – an Easter Reflection by Bree Watral
Student leader Bree Watral shares her clever reflection on the resurrection, JN 20:1-9. Journey with her towards new hope and perspective.
My sister and I have a rabbit named Gatsby. Several weeks ago, Gatsby accidentally opened her cage door but couldn't figure out how to do it on her own again. It took a while, but my sister was just waiting for the day when Gatsby would escape. One Tuesday afternoon about a month ago, my sister came home from school to an empty cage. Gatsby had finally gotten out. My sister actually saw Gatsby hopping around the house before she saw the open cage, but I didn't have that context. All I had was a photo of the empty cage with the caption: "This is what I came home to."
Initially, I reacted with worry. Was Gatsby hurt? Did my sister have a hard time finding her? Had Gatsby gotten herself into some other form of mischief? My sister quickly reassured me that everything was fine. Gatsby was unharmed and my sister managed to get the mischievous rabbit back into her cage easily. Those few minutes of panic between receiving the photo and my sister's reassurance gave me only a slight idea of how Mary Magdalene and the apostles must have felt upon discovering Jesus' tomb. Jesus had alluded to his divine heritage and resurrection prior to his crucifixion, of course, but the actual moment of resurrection is much different from the anticipation of it. They knew that Jesus would rise again, but the sight of an empty tomb still shocked them. However, an unnamed disciple—probably John—realized what had happened. He put the pieces together and realized that Jesus had risen. It took a while for the disciples to see that this was true, but they eventually came to know of the resurrection.
Although the son of God and Gatsby the rabbit initially seem dissimilar, both serve as beacons of reassurance. People cared enough about both of them to worry about their well-being, but it's important to move beyond worrying whether someone is or isn't there. Worry often leaves the worrier stuck in negative thoughts, prohibiting them from looking at their situation with eyes of hope. The unnamed disciple in the gospel had eyes of hope, as he could see that the absence of Jesus' body meant that he had risen again. Instead of becoming distraught at the loss of his friend and teacher, he stepped out of the situation and looked at it as a piece of a narrative rather than an isolated event. The others knew what he did, but they did not step away for long enough to realize what had happened.
Distancing yourself from a worrisome situation—whether it's the absence of the Son of God or a particularly clever rabbit—is difficult. It's easy to allow the rush of emotion to overtake you instead of taking a moment to step back and realize the grander scheme of events can help you to find clarity in a moment of hopelessness.
Do that today. Step back from the stress, anger, or hurt in your life; when you come back, look at it with new eyes. It'll be like a resurrection.
Extravagant Love – a reflection by Fr. Mike DeTemple
Reflect with Fr. Mike DeTemple, University Chaplain, on the passion narratives read on Palm Sunday.
The Passion narrative we read every year on Palm Sunday reveals Jesus' moment of glory, when the full truth about him as Messiah and King is made known: he is the crucified King, suffering and dying on a cross for the salvation of all. He is the Suffering Servant, who is with us in our suffering. He is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life to save his sheep – and does it ironically at the moment of his greatest powerlessness and shame.
This Holy Week we remember what Jesus, out of love, has done for us and we are urged to follow his example by expressing our love for him and all our sisters and brothers in profound and radical ways. In their letter, "To the Ends of the Earth" (1986) the Bishops of the United States expressed it in these words:
Had Jesus merely said that his mission was to set people free from sin and all forms of oppression, his words would have fallen on deaf ears. He had to work at this task of liberation. He not only talked about freeing the poor and oppressed but, undeterred by criticism, actually welcomed the poor and sinners to share at his table. Like Jesus, we must be able to accompany others in their suffering and be willing to suffer with them.
We do this to imitate our Savior "who humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." This week we remember his sacrifice and enter into it more deeply, that we may grow in our love for him and for the people of God; and we express that love concretely in the way we live our lives. In doing so, we fulfill one important aspect of the nature of the Church, as Pope Benedict XVI expressed it in his encyclical letter, "God is Love:" For the Church, charity is not a kind of welfare activity which could equally well be left to others, but is . . . an indispensable expression of her very being. As a community, the Church must practice love, for "If you see charity, you see the Trinity." (Saint Augustine)
Diana Hernandez, a freshman in the student leadership program in University Ministry, invites us to think about the areas that God is calling us to come to life. Read this past Sunday's scripture (John 11: 3-7, 20-27, 33B-45) and reflect on it with her.
In this Gospel, Jesus speaks to us and challenges us to believe in the presence of God. When Jesus was notified that Lazarus was ill, he responded by saying, "the illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God." When Jesus returned to Judea, he found that Lazarus had recently died. Lazarus' sister, Martha, tried to blame Jesus by saying that if he had been there with them he could have saved Lazarus from death. This made me think about how sometimes we lose faith in God when we feel that he does not answer our prayers. Then, Jesus told his people that Lazarus would rise from the dead and live again. Jesus asked Martha if she believed that he was the resurrection and the life and whoever believed in him would live and never die.
This made me think about the time when my aunt passed away after fighting breast cancer for three years. Her husband blamed God for allowing her to die. I feel like sometimes we distant ourselves or fail to have a relationship with God because we feel like we are not given clues of God's presence in our lives.
Those who loved Lazarus confronted Jesus and said, "Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?" Even today, many seek for visible evidence of God's existence in order to believe that he is there with us – listening to our prayers. We believe when we feel and see a response.
The people of Judea needed visual evidence of God's existence, so Jesus called out to his father and asked to help him give them a sign. Jesus visited Lazarus tomb and brought him back to life. Seeing this visible sign, the people started believing in Jesus's words. They saw him as truly the Son of God.
So I invite you in this time of lent to quiet yourself and listen within – to feel God's presence in your calmness and peacefulness, accept the invitation of extended life. Where is God calling you to come alive? Take a moment and think to yourself, what relationship do I have with God? When have I felt the closest to God? When have I felt the most distant to God and why?
Look Truthfully by Sheila Bauer-Gatsos
Professor Sheila Bauer-Gatsos reflects on this Sunday's Gospel, John 9:1-41. All are invited to immerse themselves in the story and see how God is calling each to "see" in a new way as we RETURN throughout the season of Lent.
"Not as man sees does God see,
because man sees the appearance
but the LORD looks into the heart."
The scripture readings this week all focus on sight—on the need to watch carefully, to see clearly, to look truthfully. It is more difficult than it sounds. There are many things that impair our vision, that keep us from seeing what is real and what really matters.
In our media-saturated world, we are confronted every day by false images that focus entirely on appearance. We see and accept as "real" images that have been distorted in ways that create false standards of beauty and unrealistic, indeed often unhealthy, expectations for our bodies. We are encouraged to place greater emphasis on superficial ideals of beauty, on appearances, rather than on ideas, values and beliefs. The sheer volume of images we see can cloud our sight.
We're not just blinded by what we see, though, but also by what we do. We live busy and hectic lives. We rush from the work on our desks to our classes to meetings and back to our piles of work. We see what's right in front of us, what we must do next, what is in our way, but again, that is sometimes not what matters most.
Our ability to see may be impaired, but we are also lucky. Here, through its mission and its vision for education, Dominican University helps to counter the messages and the madness of our daily lives. We are given frequent reminders of what matters, opportunities to return to what is truly important, and calls to look into our own hearts and the hearts of others.
We can always do more. When I read these lines from the scripture, I am reminded that my vision is faulty. "Not as man sees does God see because man sees the appearance but the Lord looks into the heart."
How can I try to see more clearly? How can I focus on what truly matters? How can I learn to look through God's eyes? How might my life be changed if I do?

PHILADELPHIA ŌĆö Nader Engheta received the 2012 IEEE Electromagnetics Award at a ceremony Wednesday evening in Chicago. He is the H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering and professor of bioengineering in the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Engheta was honored for his "contributions to electromagnetic theory and applications of metamaterials and nanoscale optics."
ŌĆ£I am very honored and humbled to receive this award from the IEEE,ŌĆØ Engheta said. ŌĆ£It has been the culmination of years of continuous work my colleagues and I have been doing. ItŌĆÖs very exciting.ŌĆØ
Engheta's research activities span a broad range of areas involving the physics of fields and waves. He is a leading figure in the field of metamaterials, which combines physics, engineering and nanotechnology to bend and manipulate waves in ways that natural materials cannot.
His contributions to the field during the past year came from several high-profile papers on metamaterials, including one that outlines the possibility of ŌĆ£two dimensionalŌĆØ metamaterials using electrical fields on a sheet of carbon atoms and another that demonstrates an ŌĆ£invisibleŌĆØ photodetector. Using plasmonic cloaking, the detector can make precise measurements of light without its presence disrupting the measurement.
In papers in Nature Materials and Physical Review Letters, Engehta also helped develop a new subfield he has dubbed ŌĆ£metatronics.ŌĆØ Metatronics combines the principles of metamaterials with concepts in electronics and photonics, enabling nanoscale structures to manipulate infrared light waves in ways similar to how capacitors, resistors and inductors manipulate electrons in an electrical circuit.
IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is the worldŌĆÖs largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence. The award ceremony was held at the associationŌĆÖs annual International Symposium.

Brit & Alex - Let It Go
Artist: Brit & Alex
Producer: Theron "Neff U" Feemster
Album: Step Up 2: The Streets Soundtrack
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 20 votes )
It has taken six long years to arrive, but the time has come for British female duo Brit & Alex to make their mark on America. The identical twins, whose debut album will be produced in full by Dallas Austin (TLC, Janet) and Tricky Stewart (Rihanna, The-Dream), recently placed their first single, Let It Go, on the loaded soundtrack to Step Up 2: The Streets. The song is produced by Neff U and is "the story of a girl on the outside looking in, wondering 'where do I go from here?'" according to Brittany. While their sound is primarily pop, the ladies have a distinct urban edge courtesy of their fitting production. Never have a frog's "ribbits" sounded so cool.

A Special Logo For Google's 13th Birthday – Mazol Tov!
Happy Birthday Google! Today, Google turned 13 years old, the day a boy becomes a man, at least in Judaism. To celebrate the important birthday, Google has a special logo with a cake and birthday hats, looking like an old-fashioned child's birthday party setting.
Historically, there was some confusion as to when Google was born. Was it September 14th or the 27th? For years now, Google has settled on it being the 27th. Here is a look back at some of Google's birthday logos:
Google's 12th birthday logo:
Google's 11th birthday logo:
Google's 10th birthday logo:
Google's 9th birthday logo:
Google's 8th birthday logo:
Google's 7th Birthday logo:
Google's 6th Birthday logo:
Google's 5th Birthday logo:
Google's 4th Birthday logo:
Google did not make birthday logos for its earlier birthdays. For more history on Google's birthday celebrations, see this post.

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need

As pop-punk makes increasing inroads with the kids, it should be a sign to the elders of the genre that it's time to get out of the pool. It doesn't matter how long you've been listening to that copy of Dear You -- it's time to move on a little bit. Just look at the Get Up Kids' new quieter sound, or the way these bands will break up and form all-new groups such as the lush Milwaukee sextet Decibully.
Amid the soothing waves of pseudo-western twang and chamber pop in Decibully's sophomore album, City of Festivals, are enough references to departures and losses to trigger a hundred old memories. You'd expect nothing less from a band that features former members of both Camden and the Promise Ring, as Decibully does. Singer William Seidel's falsetto is sweet and emotional, drained of all traces of the punk urgency heard on Camden's records. But what you might not expect is that Decibully sounds like a soft-rock update of Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, with half the ambition but twice the heart -- and choruses that will make you blubber like a baby. They're not trying to break your heart, just trying to reopen the old wounds.

How much money would it take to get an English major to switch to engineering?
Read more »
The degree would be available to students majoring in science, technology, engineering or math disciplines.
Ivy Tech Community College is joining a program that will dock the income tax refunds of students who owe money on their tuition bills or haven't repaid financial aid after withdrawing from classes.
Officials plan to review the cost of tuition for out-of-state residents, lowered four years ago to attract more undergraduates.
After a decade of resistance from universities, Congress is poised to take on college prices amid a groundswell of anger about tuition outpacing inflation and family incomes, leaving borrowers with $1 trillion in debt.
A proposal by Grand Rapids Community College to develop a differential tuition rate for some dual enrolled students was embraced by at least three K-12 administrators last week who say the plan promotes college readiness.
Governor Scott Walker says he's considering freezing U-W tuition, or putting a cap on the size of any tuition hikes in the U-W system.
A state law that allows colleges and universities to charge different tuition prices for different majors could be repealed next year.
Administrators at Grand Rapids Community College are pushing a proposal that would reduce tuition for some high school students dual enrolled at the college.
Rick Scott, businessman turned politician, campaigned for governor in 2010 with promises to run Florida like a successful business — more efficiency, lower costs, less hand-wringing and measurable results. He meant higher education, too, but until recently that meant mostly shrinking budgets. Now, looking for more value on the remaining dollars, Governor Scott and Republican lawmakers are prodding Florida's 12 state universities to find ways to steer students toward majors that are in demand in the job market.

ACIDIC Joins Hinder on North American Tour
Southern California based alternative rock band ACIDIC will join Hinder on their North American tour kicking off February 21st in Council Bluffs, Iowa and winding up March 24th in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. Tickets and concert info are available at http://acidicband.com/
ACIDIC, which consists of lead singer and guitarist Michael Gossard, bassist Ted Dubrawski and drummer Matt Whitaker, will release their fourth full-length, 10-track album Copper Man out March 19th with their single of the same name available February 19th. The band once again teamed up with producer John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Ryan has worked with Santana, Lynrd Skynrd and Styx among others). "This album is the album we've been wishing and praying for. We love playing these songs. This was a pure collaboration of the whole band, a labor of love between three friends. It's organic, carnivorous rock n' roll," says frontman Gossard. In describing their sound, Gossard calls it "a high-powered fusion of insanity-based rock," adding "I find that much of our music is inspired by grunge band like Pearl Jam as well Green Day, Cage The Elephant and Foo Fighters. I also find inspiration from artists like Mozart for structure and harmonies."
Their last album, "Chronic Satisfaction" garnered critical praise. PureGrainAudio said the single "Uninspired" is "a well-written and well performed ode to nostalgia with a chorus that will keep you humming all day long." ArtistsOnDemand said "'Chronic Satisfaction' is jammed packed with tunes that are sure to make any fan, or new listener want more." And Alternative Press said that ACIDIC "rocks like Funeral Party, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant."
In the past two years ACIDIC has toured with Candlebox, Fuel, Warner Drive, Alien Ant Farm, Marcy Playground, Filter, Hawthorne Heights, The Higher, and Trapt. In 2011, the band visited Germany and Kosovo as part of an Armed Forces Entertainment tour, an experience that inspired Gossard to write "The Brave." "I would be approached by all these soldiers and they'd tell me stories," Gossard said. "I'd listen and decided I needed to write about it."

Well, I flew into Bilbao and then got the bus to San Sebastian then I hopped in a cab which brought me to the guesthouse I'll be staying in during my trip. It's the Pension Garate, which is only a couple of minutes walk from the beautiful La Concha beach.
Had a little wander around the promenade at La Concha before heading for a cheap and cheerful dinner at Va Bene, a burger bar on Blas de Lezo. Kitschy decor (lots of Americana) but a huge number of the burgers and sandwiches on the menu are under €5 so you can't really argue with that!
After that, stopped into a cool bar along C/ San Martin called Dylan. Walked in the door and Metallica was playing on the pretty impressive sound system so I was instantly at home! Very friendly staff at the bar and a good stop to have a drink on my first night in San Sebastian.

Fox Business contributor Charles Payne argued that a businessman "may be a couple of years ahead of the curve" after he drew parallels between the treatment of the wealthy in America and "fascist Nazi Germany."
On January 24, The Wall Street Journal published a letter to the editor comparing the alleged "demonization of the rich" to the boiling over of European anti-Semitism that led to the Holocaust. The letter, written by billionaire venture capitalist Tom Perkins, questions whether a "Progressive Kristallnacht" looms on the horizon:
Progressive Kristallnacht Coming?
Regarding your editorial "Censors on Campus" (Jan. 18): Writing from the epicenter of progressive thought, San Francisco, I would call attention to the parallels of fascist Nazi Germany to its war on its "one percent," namely its Jews, to the progressive war on the American one percent, namely the "rich."
From the Occupy movement to the demonization of the rich embedded in virtually every word of our local newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, I perceive a rising tide of hatred of the successful one percent. There is outraged public reaction to the Google buses carrying technology workers from the city to the peninsula high-tech companies which employ them. We have outrage over the rising real-estate prices which these "techno geeks" can pay. We have, for example, libelous and cruel attacks in the Chronicle on our number-one celebrity, the author Danielle Steel, alleging that she is a "snob" despite the millions she has spent on our city's homeless and mentally ill over the past decades.
This is a very dangerous drift in our American thinking. Kristallnacht was unthinkable in 1930; is its descendant "progressive" radicalism unthinkable now?
Tom Perkins
San Francisco
Mr. Perkins is a founder of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
In response to media criticism, Perkins defended his remarks during a January 27 interview with Bloomberg. Perkins admitted that Kristallnacht was a "terrible word to have chosen," but reiterated that he neither regrets nor retracts his core argument that the rich are being demonized and persecuted in the United States.
The sentiment that America's ultra-wealthy are being singled out for persecution is shared by some voices in the right-wing media. On the January 28 edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co., contributor Charles Payne glossed over Perkins' demeaning allusion to the horrific, racially-motivated violence that defined Nazi Germany at the onset of the Holocaust. Rather than criticizing the paranoia of Perkins' comments, Payne argued that the wealthy have "justified rage" and Perkins "may be a couple of years ahead of the curve":
Fox News has a history of facile and offensive comparisons of progressive economic or social policies with Nazi Germany. This is not even the first time a Fox employee has used Kristallnacht as the impetus for their faux outrage. In response to his recent indictment for violating campaign finance regulations, Fox darling Dinesh D'Souza wasted no time in parroting the "this is like Nazi Germany" line.
The fact remains, the United States in no way resembles Nazi Germany and there is no legitimate defense of Tom Perkins, or any other person, comparing Kristallnacht and other Nazi atrocities to protestors advocating in favor of better wages, affordable housing, and reasonable income tax rates for high earners. Perkins, a yacht-enthusiast who owns high-end property around the world as well as his own personal submarine, is not witnessing the sort of persecution faced by European Jews in the 1930s. The real Kristallnacht (November 9-10, 1938) saw intense racial violence in which 267 synagogues were destroyed, at least 91 innocent Jewish citizens of Germany were killed in the streets, and tens of thousands more were rounded up and placed in concentration camps. Most of them would die before Europe was liberated from Nazi oppression.
At Fox News, President Obama's push to increase the federal minimum wage for millions of American workers through legislative and executive action is merely a "symbolic" gesture.
On January 28, the White House announced that President Obama had authorized an executive order raising the minimum pay for federal workers to $10.10 per hour, a regulation that will be effective for all employees signing a new federal contract. According to the White House's official press release, the president hopes that this move will encourage Congress to take action on a proposal by Representative George Miller (D-CA) and Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) to increase the federal minimum wage to $10.10 for all American workers.
On the January 28 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, co-host Bill Hemmer called the move a "shot across the bow" for congressional Republicans resisting an increase to the minimum wage. Fox Business' Stuart Varney questioned the White House's motivation, claiming that it was a "symbolic" move motivated by political circumstances and concluding that an executive order lifting wages for all federal employees was simply "not a big deal":
Varney's disregard for the impact of executive action on the minimum wage mirrors comments from other Fox News personalities. On the January 27 edition of The Real Story, contributor Charles Payne scoffed at the notion that lifting the minimum wage is an important goal, noting, "higher minimum wage is not the cure, we're talking about something that impacts less than 3 percent of real workers."
Demos' Heather McGhee hailed the Obama administration for lifting federal pay through executive order, noting that the decision "adds momentum to the fight for a federal minimum wage increase." According to research from the Economic Policy Institute, adopting a $10.10 minimum wage nationwide, which would require congressional legislative action, would positively impact the wages of more than 27 million workers while boosting overall economic growth by $22 billion and creating enough economic demand to support 85,000 new jobs.
Increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 nationwide also has the support of hundreds of economists around the country, including numerous Nobel Laureates.
In an economy as large as the United States, while it may be easy for right-wing media voices to shrug off the implications of minimum wage policies, the fact is that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, roughly 3.6 million American workers currently work at or below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. After adjusting for inflation, the federal minimum wage is lower than at any point from the 1950s to the early 1980s.
Right-wing media's opposition to raising the minimum wage has grown as public sentiment has turned in favor of it. Varney's pattern of deriding both policies to lift wages and low-wage workers themselves appears to be par for the course.
New research reveals that the Affordable Care Act has a relatively strong effect on reducing income inequality and economic insecurity for low-income Americans. However, given past coverage of the law, this fact is likely to go underreported in media.
A new study from the non-partisan Brookings Institution projects the Affordable Care Act (ACA, or "Obamacare") to positively impact low-income Americans. The research, performed by economists Henry Aaron and Gary Burtless, reviews a comprehensive income measure combining wages, the value of employer-provided health insurance, and the value of government-subsidized coverage. The authors project that the ACA will increase incomes in the bottom-fifth of the population by almost 6 percent, while increasing incomes in the bottom-tenth of the population by more than 7 percent.
Additionally, the authors found that positive "benefits of the ACA to low-income families would have been greater if the enacted version of the law had been put into effect." According to the study, the Supreme Court's landmark 2012 decision upholding the law, but allowing states to opt-out of expanding Medicaid to low-income residents, has dampened the effectiveness of health care reform -- preventing nearly 6 percent of the American population in the lowest 20 percent of income earners from accessing free health coverage through Medicaid. If not for the Supreme Court's decision, and corresponding "state inaction," the relatively strong impact of the ACA in reducing inequality for low-income Americans would have been greater.
The study concludes that, while the ACA does not positively impact the income of all Americans, the "small proportional drops in income" correspond with "larger proportional gains" for the poorest quarter of the working population. The graph below shows the average expected impact of the ACA on after-tax adjusted incomes for each tenth of the wage spectrum. The results show that corresponding positive impacts at the bottom of the income bracket more than make up for marginal decreases at higher income levels.
Previous Media Matters research has exposed how the media almost never mentions the positive impact of health insurance access on reducing economic inequality and strengthening economic security. Instead, media outlets opted to focus on the difficult rollout of Obamacare health care exchanges -- notably Healthcare.gov. The lack of discussion regarding the positive impact of the ACA on reducing economic inequality is particularly pervasive among right-wing media, where policy proposals aimed at reducing inequality are treated as trivial and unimportant.

Fox News is misleadingly touting the results of a recent poll to falsely claim that a majority of Americans don't care about inequality and believe that government should do nothing to reduce it.
On the January 23 edition of Fox & Friends, hosts Brian Kilmeade, Steve Doocy, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck discussed the recent policy pivot by Republicans and Democrats toward addressing income inequality. During the segment, the results of Fox News poll in which respondents were asked to prioritize pressing economic issues were displayed on screen:
Doocy used the results of the poll to claim that Americans are unconcerned about rising income inequality:
DOOCY: This is what you're concerned about. Forty percent of you are worried most about jobs and unemployment. About the same number worried about the deficit and how much the government spends. Meanwhile, you wind up with "income inequality" at only 12 percent.
Later that day on America's Newsroom, co-host Martha MacCallum and Fox News contributor Monica Crowley returned to the poll, claiming that the results also showed most Americans do not want the government to take action to reduce income inequality. During the segment, the following graphic ran on the screen:
Fox, and the poll they cite, are creating a false choice between reducing income inequality, creating jobs, and addressing the deficit.
Numerous economists, including Jared Bernstein, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, and Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman have argued that rising inequality is bad for the economy and creates a drag on economic growth. Furthermore, in their recent book, "Getting Back to Full Employment," Bernstein and economist Dean Baker outlined proposals that could create jobs while lifting wages and reducing reliance on government safety net programs, thereby positively impacting job creation while reducing some pressure from the federal budget. In the view of many prominent economists, Americans do not have to choose between jobs, deficit reduction, or reducing economic inequality; sensible policies can be implemented to address each issue.
Additionally, while MacCallum suggested that few Americans want government action to reduce inequality, the actual poll shows that participants were never asked about inequality. Instead of being asked "How do you feel about income inequality" as Fox showed on air, the actual question in the poll was "How do you feel about the fact that some people make a lot more money than others?"
Differences in individual earnings, which the poll asked about, and structural inequality -- the idea that a small share of earners at the top capture nearly all income gains -- are not the same thing.
When Americans are asked directly about whether or not government should do anything to mitigate income inequality, the results are quite different from what Fox claims. According to a January 23 poll conducted by the Pew Research Center and USA Today, 69 percent of Americans believe that government should do "a lot" or "some" to reduce inequality.
Furthermore, a majority of respondents -- 54 percent -- support raising taxes on the wealthy and expanding programs for the poor in order to help close the income gap.
Media Matters research shows that Fox, along with other right-wing media outlets, consistently misrepresents the issue of economic inequality. These skewed poll results are just the latest in a long line of examples.
Conservative media figures have sharply criticized the recent push by Democratic politicians to alleviate poverty and reduce economic inequality. However, most of this criticism is grounded in a number of myths about the causes, effects, and importance of growing economic inequality in the United States.
In the second half of 2013, weekday broadcast and cable evening news discussed Social Security in a largely negative light by repeatedly insisting that the program is insolvent, must be cut, or poses a risk to long-term fiscal security.
Fox News' Neil Cavuto continued to ignore the desperate need for infrastructure investment in the United States, repeatedly arguing instead that the government is stealing or misappropriating existing resources.
On the January 13 edition of Fox News' Your World, host Cavuto invited former Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to discuss proposals to raise the federal gas tax to fund construction, repair, and renovation of America's crumbling transportation infrastructure. Rather than acknowledging the need to raise revenue to fund necessary projects, Cavuto made the unsubstantiated claim that federal, state, and local funds for infrastructure investment are being stolen or abused:
The paranoid and unsupported claims made by Cavuto during the segment echo his comments from a contentious December 3 interview with Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-OR). On both occasions, Cavuto claimed without evidence that "someone" in the government had "stolen," "abscond[ed]," or "[run] off with" billions of dollars earmarked for vital improvements to roads, bridges, dams, and other infrastructure systems.
Once again, the only proof that Cavuto provided to support his claims is the fact that American infrastructure is in a state of disrepair. As Media Matters has shown in the past, the dilapidated condition of America's infrastructure is entirely the result of insufficient funding, not the alleged fraud, theft, or misappropriation suggested by the Fox host.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the public infrastructure of the United States earned a D+ grade in 2013 and is in need of $3.6 trillion worth of investments and upgrades by 2020. The ASCE estimates the cost of modernizing only America's bridges to be $121 billion, roughly equivalent to all of the revenue streams cited by Cavuto as excessive and wasteful during his tirade against the gas tax.
The reason that former Secretary LaHood, Representative Blumenauer, and others advocate raising the gas tax is precisely because the amount currently raised and spent by the federal government on infrastructure investments is too small. The federal tax, which has not be raised in 20 years, is one of many proposals to close this funding gap.
Instead of engaging in a substantive and important policy discussion, Fox News would rather promote its own narrative that all federal spending is riddled with fraud and abuse.
Right-wing media have spent the last few years baselessly dismissing the decades-long push to alleviate poverty as not worth the fight, despite evidence showing that government efforts to reduce poverty have been successful.
On January 8, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson used his State of the Union address to enumerate proposals that would come to be known as the War on Poverty. Many of the proposals and policy prescriptions outlined in the president's speech were eventually signed into law.
Recent research from the Columbia Population Research Center at Columbia University reveals the extent to which anti-poverty programs since the 1960s have alleviated poverty for millions of Americans. The study, titled "Trends in Poverty with an Anchored Supplemental Poverty Measure," uses a uniform measure of poverty (supplemental poverty measure or SPM) to show a dramatic drop-off in poverty rates from 1967 to 2011. From the study (emphasis added):
The OPM shows the overall poverty rates to be nearly the same in 1967 and 2011 -- at 14% and 15% respectively. But our counterfactual estimates using the anchored SPM show that without taxes and other government programs, poverty would have been roughly flat at 27-29%, while with government benefits poverty has fallen from 26% to 16% -- a 40% reduction. Government programs today are cutting poverty nearly in half (from 29% to 16%) while in 1967 they only cut poverty by about one percentage point.
Today, despite mounting evidence of their success, the corresponding anti-poverty programs created during the War on Poverty face incessant and withering criticism from conservative politicians and their right-wing media allies. Conservative media voices regularly repeat the claim that anti-poverty programs are useless, or that after 50 years they are no longer working. In fact, as recently as January 7, Fox News host Martha MacCallum cast doubt on whether or not lowering the poverty rate over the past five decades was worth the effort, but the following graph from The New York Times' Economix blog shows just how effective these programs have been:
Source: The New York Times, Economix Blog, "The War On Poverty at 50"
In addition to questioning the general efficacy of anti-poverty relief efforts, right-wing media voices have targeted specific Johnson-era programs and initiatives like Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, expanded food stamps and welfare, and an increased minimum wage in their coordinated attempt to undermine the social safety net, effectively stymying the purpose of the War on Poverty.
Weekday broadcast and cable evening news covered a variety of economic topics including deficit reduction, economic growth, and effects of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) throughout the fourth quarter of 2013. A Media Matters analysis shows that many of these segments lacked proper context or input from economists, with Fox News continuing to advance the erroneous notion that the ACA is the purported cause behind poor job growth.
Right-wing media voices have coalesced around the myth that unemployment benefits to the long-term unemployed do not need to be extended because the economy is improving and benefits have existed for too long. These arguments, however, ignore key realities about long-term unemployment, namely that it remains elevated despite an improving economy.

Cisco entered the blade server market in a big way five years ago with its Unified Computing System (UCS) environment, taking on IBM, HP, and Oracle in the heart of the cloud computing hardware business.
Now it is extending UCS "introducing significant innovations," in the company's words, by expanding its offering and addressing Big Data and the IoT. Mobility, video, and a continued focus on cloud are all part of the strategy, according to Paul Perez, VP & General Manager of Cisco UCS.
The new offering encompasses Cisco UCS M-Series Modular Servers for "cloud-scale applications," according to Perez, and the Cisco UCS Mini "for small-scale and enterprise-edge environments.".
"Additionally, an expansion of the current UCS portfolio brings new levels of power and scalability for a wide range of data center workloads by unveiling new fourth-generation UCS Rack and Blade Servers for application performance," according to a company statement, "and new UCS Director solutions to manage Big Data infrastructure workloads."
The M-Series systems can eliminate up to 95% of the system components duplicated in a traditional server design, according to Cisco, delivering as much as 36% combined TCO savings, the company reports.
On the edge, the UCS Mini is delivered as an "all-in-one solution" to deliver servers, storage, and networking in a compact form factor. The system is also said to bring a savings of as much as 36% in TCO.
A recent IDC report says Cisco is now leads the X86 blade server market in the Americas market, and has seen revenue growth of 39% worldwide on a cumulative four-quarter basis ending Q1 2014.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happe...

If you don't order one of the mofongo dishes at Old San Juan Restaurant, order a five-dollar mofongo ball with your entrée. The pork-and-mashed plantain combination is cooked perfectly. Puerto Rican cuisine may not be the pathway to weight loss (lots of pork, lots of pork and chicken cracklings, lots of fried everything) but it is undoubtedly comfort food with warm flavors (garlic and oregano are prominent) and no fiery spices. The restaurant isn't cheap, but with most entrées between ten and twenty dollars, it's far from the most expensive in Miami. The mofongo dishes come with just about everything, from the traditional fried pork to lobster, conch, or octopus. Other menu highlights include the pasteles (a Puerto Rican dumpling stuffed with seasoned chicken or pork and boiled in a green-plantain leaf), and the asopaos, rice stews served with combinations of seafood, meats, and (of course) fried plantains.
