DPC is a knowledge and service center for scientists and institutions dealing with polar research and arctic matters, for Danish authorities, and for the Danish public in general. The center is situated under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation and it was established on 1 January 1989.The center is organised in 3 branches: research facilitation, logistics and information services and is secretariat for the Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland (KVUG). DPC runs a polar library, photo collection, an archive and houses secretariats for various institutions. The center co-operates with the Greenland Home Rule about science facilitation and disseminations of scientific information. The center resides in the restored cooper's workshop on the former Greenland Trade Pier in Copenhagen together with the Department of Eskimology and Arctic Studies and Arctic Institute. Logistics and field stations
Research in Greenland is resource demanding. It is expensive to travel to e.g. North Greenland, and it is difficult to get around in isolated, uninhabited and hardly negotiable areas. DPC organizes, from year to year, logistics platforms for research projects in selected regions of Greenland. These platforms optimise the economic advantages by coordinating the logistic needs from all actors in a certain geographical region during the summer field season. In this way opportunities arise for small projects with highly sensitive budgets to partake in field campaigns that they could otherwise not be a part of. During recent summers logistics platforms have covered Northwest as well as Northeast Greenland. DPC operates its own field station, Zackenberg, at 75°30'N in Northeast Greenland. The station staff takes care of all work relating to planning of travel, accommodation and provision during scientists stay, and they operate and develop the station to fulfil the needs of researchers in the field. Since the start in 1995, the average overnights at the station has been 1500-2000 per summer. Zackenberg station has established a mutual agreement with the researchers' hotel, KISS, at Kangerlussuaq (West Greenland), the Sermilik field station (Southeast Greenland), the Arctic Station (Qeqertarsuaq, West Greenland) and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources (Nuuk, West Greenland) on e.g. shared marketing, shared representation in pertinent international networks and a shared committment in knowledge building in Greenland.During the summer fields season DPC has logisticians deployed at Constable Pynt, Northeast Greenland, to operate an aircraft traffic hub as the gateway to the National Park in North and East Greenland for research projects, tourist expeditions and others who need to travel to, within and from this vast region.'Danish Polar Center has an online expedition planning support available on their homepage. You can consult this homepage for advices relating to planning of expeditions in Greenland, for deadlines on different relevant applications and for online download of relevant application forms.

Kevin Brockmeier is a writer.
I think Kevin Brockmeier graduated from the Iowa Writer's Workshop because I recently came across "Some Things About Kevin Brockmeier" in Post Road #8 written by Thisbe Nissen which indicates that she was there, at Iowa, when he was there.
I once spent a day with Thisbe Nissen in the French Quarter because she was in New Orleans as the Newcomb College Zale Writer in Residence.
Newcomb College no longer exists, not really, because after Katrina the two undergraduate colleges (Newcomb and A&S) became merged and now there's Tulane University and the Newcomb Institute.
My mother thinks they should rename the undergraduate school Newcomb and maybe that would pacify all the women who banded together to sue King Cowen over his move to subsume the South's first coordinate college for women.
Thisbe took a lot of pictures of doors and chipped paint while I told her half-remembered ghost stories about a convent. We met my mother at a po-boy restaurant I'd never been to, and I asked about MFA programs. She applied to 15 and got into half, including Iowa, and she had a collection of short stories published by the time I met her so I figured I was screwed.
A few years later I was at SIU and Kevin Brockmeier came for Devil's Kitchen. He read a story about god's overcoat and prayers that in the end were put in fortune cookies by a Chinese restaurant.
Sometimes chocolate milk isn't up for discussion.

Tuesday night's 3-2 victory in Buffalo pushed the Ducks back into the coveted eighth spot in the Western Conference standings. But they weren't there very long.
Less than an hour later, the Minnesota Wild was pushed into overtime by the Kings. Though the Kings won in a shootout, the Wild picked up one point for its effort and leap-frogged ahead of the Ducks.
Later that evening, Sheldon Souray's two goals helped the Edmonton Oilers beat Tampa Bay, 5-3, and end a three-game skid. That's two points for the Oilers.
By the time the Ducks touched down in Boston, where they'll play the top team in the east on Thursday, they were back in 10th place and are one of four teams (Minnesota, Dallas and Edmonton are the others) with 65 points.
Tuesday night's game was the 62nd for the Ducks. That same night, the Wild played in its 59th game while Edmonton played in game No. 60. The Stars will play their 60th game on Thursday when they host St. Louis.
While it's true that the Ducks are at a current disadvantage because they've played in more games than their closest opponents, it's not going to remain that way.
The Ducks will have three days off between their games against Vancouver (March 11) and San Jose (March 15). They will have two more days off before hosting Nashville on March 18.
March 11-18 will therefore be the week that will give fans a better idea on who might go to the playoffs, and if the Ducks should have been sellers at the trading deadline.
The Ducks will play their 70th game of the season on March 18. Columbus and Dallas will be playing in their 71st games that day. Minnesota will have reached the 70-game mark the previous day, while Edmonton will reach that mark on March 19.
If the Blue Jackets, Oilers, Stars, Wild or any other teams are hoping to catch and/or pull away from the Ducks, they have two weeks remaining in which to take advantage of the schedule.

To save time, you can purchase precooked, vacuum-packed beets at many markets in the produce section.
Cooking Light OCTOBER 2010
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion to pan; sauté for 5 minutes or until tender and golden brown. Add potatoes, 2 teaspoons sage, and garlic; cook for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in beets, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add water to a large skillet, filling two-thirds full. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar. Break each egg into a custard cup, and pour gently into pan. Cook for 3 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Remove eggs from pan using a slotted spoon. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon sage evenly over eggs.
3. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sage, and mustard in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add frisée; toss to coat. Serve with hash and eggs.
Wine match: Merlot. Sweet, earthy beets and the tangy combo of greens and mustard are balanced by The Velvet Devil Merlot (Columbia Valley, Washington State, 2008; $12). The wine's opulent cooked cherry and chocolate aromatic profile give new life to this sadly scorned grape variety. --Alexander Spacher

Sectarian violence between extremist members of Pakistan's majority Sunni and minority Shia communities has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people since the 1980s.
Analysts say Pakistan is increasingly becoming the battleground in a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.They claim the bulk of the violence more recently has been committed against the Shia community.
Bomb blasts this year alone have killed hundreds of Shias, with Sunni hardline group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claiming responsibility for most of the violence.
The extremist group has an openly anti-Shia agenda and is banned in Pakistan. It is classified as a terrorist organisation by several Western nations.
Rights group Amnesty International says the Shia Hazara community is particularly vulnerable to being targeted. The Hazara tribe is ethnically Mongolian and its people have oriental features that make them easily identifiable from the rest of the country's population
So, can the Pakistani authorities protect its minorities and if so how?
101 East speaks with the families of victims of sectarian violence, from Pakistan's Shia as well as Sunni communities. We also speak with Hazaras who have survived attacks in Quetta, and those who are fleeing the insecurity they face while living there. We film with counter-terror police and the government and talk to them about efforts to end sectarian violence.

"When you chew, know what you are chewing. Chew slowly and completely. Chew consciously, savoring the taste of the apple and its nourishment, immersing yourself in the process one hundred percent. This way, you really appreciate the apple as it is. And as you become fully aware of eating the apple, you also become fully aware of the present moment. You become fully engaged in the here and now. Living in the moment, you can really experience what the apple offers you, and you become more alive." Thich Nhat Hanh and Lilian Cheung Savor (2010)
Thich Nhat Hanh enjoins us to eat one apple slowly and in complete awareness, as a practice of mindfulness.
However, I notice that in my practice, I am aware of the impermanence of the apple. I wonder that if the apple is going to rot, it is impermanent, and therefore the moment that the apple is ripe is brief and fleeting, perhaps I should just toss it into the compost pile right away. Why should I enjoy a sweet ripe apple, or watch it ripen? Why should we disfavor the apple before it is ripe, or when it is overripe and dripping with juice or covered with flies? How can we savor the apple, when it is impermanent, and so are we? Is there not a case to be made that it would be better to hasten the apple on its route to becoming compost or an apple tree, rather than to enjoy its present moment of perfect flavor and sweetness? Is taking care of the apple so that it becomes ripe and pleasing not a form of craving and sensual involvement?

It's got nothing to do with Discrimination. ITV have not got the brodcasting right's for Scotland hence why we have STV.
STV don't have brodcasting rights for England and Wales. Are STV Discriminating against Scots in England?
Anyway ITV London is on Sky Channel 972 or 973 I can't remember which one.
on 05-12-2013 12:50 AM
I know I can watch ITV London but only in SD. The discrimination issue is that they say I can't get ITV HD because I live in Scotland but I can get it when I add it as an other channel. I can view but not record. there is the discrimination.
on 06-12-2013 06:42 PM
Hello and Good Evening Brehinthelehin,
Thank you for your recent post to the community and welcome back to the Sky Help Forum.
ITV1 HD and STV HD are not currently available on the Sky EPG for Scotland due to ongoing negotiations between the broadcasters.
The reason why you are not able to record the channel if you have added it on to Others is due to the channel not been supported.
As soon as we have any updates for you we will post for all to read.
Kind Regards
on 06-12-2013 06:49 PM
I'm going to correct you again Lainy, sorry
ITV1 HD is on Sky channel 178 in England,Wales and the Border Regions.
ITV Have not got the broadcasting right's for Scotland hence why we in Scotland have STV.
By all account's STV HD will be on the Sky EPG in April, according to their twitter feed.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Gary Woodland holed a 58-foot chip from the rough for one of his four birdies and got up-and-down to save pars five times to win the Reno-Tahoe Open on Sunday for second PGA Tour victory.
Woodland finished with 44 points in the modified Stableford format that awards eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse.
Jonathan Byrd and Andres Romero tied for second with 35 points, and Brendon Steele had 33 at Montreux Golf Club on the edge of the Sierra.
Woodland, also the 2011 Transitions Championship winner as a tour rookie, earned $540,000 for the victory and got a spot next week in the PGA Championship.

When it comes to efficiency, libraries wrote the book
In the past decade, overall funding to all types of libraries across the Commonwealth through the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) has dropped by 39% while libraries experienced a dramatic surge of 50% in library visits. Through cooperation, consolidation, and the use of the latest technology, libraries were able to meet the growing demand for library services during the funding decline.
The challenge for libraries comes as local and state budget cuts to libraries jeopardize the very services that residents are using more than ever. In order to help libraries continue these services the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners presents a FY2012 Legislative Agenda that considers the current economic reality and requests funding that will maintain core services.

News from the
College of Veterinary Medicine
University of Illinois
3225 Vet. Med. Basic Sciences Bldg.
2001 S. Lincoln Ave.
Urbana, IL 61802
January 29, 2013
Release on
Mary Tiefenbrunn
Executive Director, CCHS
Champaign County Humane Society Veterinarian Joins College Faculty
Urbana, IL - Champaign County Humane Societys part-time staff veterinarian, Dr. Robert Weedon, has accepted a position as Visiting Clinical Instructor in the Small Animal Surgery section of the UI College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Weedon will continue as the staff veterinarian at the humane societys shelter while teaching courses in Animal Shelter Medicine and working with the college to expand its Shelter Medicine Program.
Shelter medicine is a rapidly growing and newly recognized veterinary specialty that concentrates on improving the health and well-being of animals that live in shelter environments.
Dr. Weedon has been a mentor to students of the College of Veterinary Medicine since he joined the Champaign County Humane Society staff as Shelter Veterinarian in January 2011. In addition to providing instruction during rotations at the shelter, Dr. Weedon has been a guest lecturer at the college and advisor to the Illinois Student Chapter of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. The Student Chapter has become a robust organization, its students assisting Dr. Weedon in conducting low-cost spay-neuter clinics and traveling to animal shelters in other east-central-Illinois counties to provide surgical sterilization to shelter animals available for adoption.
Dr. Weedon sees the relationship between the veterinary college and community agencies like CCHS as a "win-win." Dr. Weedon explained: "The shelter medicine rotation allows students real-world experience by working with shelters to help improve conditions for the animals. It also gives them significant surgical experience, because sterilization prior to adoption is a key element of reducing the problem of animal overpopulation. The rotation has had a longtime partnership with Champaign County Humane Society, and now with the opportunity to visit other shelters, those communities will have the benefit of the students' experiential training. This is the essence of the university-community partnership."
Now, students who take the shelter medicine rotation and volunteer with Dr. Weedon get significant experiential training. Many students will graduate with 60, 70, or even 100 solo surgeries to their credit. After that many surgeries, a good student can spay a cat in 20 minutes, and a dog in 30 minutes.
"That is a practice-ready veterinarian," Dr. Weedon said.
Dr. Weedon has long been passionate about teaching, having held teaching positions at Purdue University; University of North Carolina, Wilmington; and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is also passionate about animal population control, serving on the Board of Directors of the Alliance for Contraception in Cats & Dogs, a non-profit whose mission is to expedite the successful introduction of methods to non-surgically sterilize dogs and cats and to support the distribution and promotion of these products to humanely control cat and dog populations worldwide.
Champaign County Humane Society Executive Director, Mary Tiefenbrunn, is excited for Dr. Weedon on a personal level, but also for the potential impact that an expanded shelter medicine program could have on the community.
"Dr. Weedon has a great deal of energy and is passionate about animal population control as well as seeing veterinary students graduate with real-world experience. I have no doubt that the community and the students will gain a great deal from Dr. Weedon's increased role at the College of Veterinary Medicine," Tiefenbrunn said.

Locality of reference is one of the most important factors in mitigating the latency and finite size of a working area such as memory and storage. From the perspective of the CPU there are many types of locality of reference, some of which are quite esoteric and which can arise from CPU optimisation techniques such as branch prediction and speculative execution; but by far the two most significant types of locality of reference are spatial locality and temporal locality.
Spatial locality is the proximity of address locations for data referenced by successive CPU instructions. With this type of locality, access latency can be amortized by retrieving multiple data items in a single fetch cycle and using good spatial locality to ensure that all the data fetched is useful. If the data is not useful, because of poor spatial locality, then more fetch cycles will be required to process the same data.
Spatial locality is only beneficial where there is latency. If there is no latency at all, and every address location is equally randomly accessible from the CPU, then spatial locality is utterly irrelevant. If this is the case, then it does not matter if the successive data is near or far away from the current data as all address locations are equally accessible. This was how memory was back then before the 1990s – spatial locality was of no concern at all within memory.
Temporal locality is the proximity in time for the re-use of data – this is what caching is all about. With this type of locality, access latency can be avoided by re-using the data fetched previously. With poor temporal locality, data that could have been re-used is lost from a working area and must be fetched again. Data is typically lost because it has been overwritten or evicted by other data; therefore temporal locality is only beneficial where there is a finite size to the working area. If the working area is of infinite size then data is unlikely to be lost and can always be re-used.
Effectively, storage has an infinite size because it persists all of the data (by definition) and therefore temporal locality is irrelevant to storage. Meanwhile, memory has always had a finite and restrictive size and continues to do so in most situations. With today's larger memory sizes it is sometimes possible to retain all of the data within memory; but this is still the exception rather than the rule and temporal locality remains important within memory. Of course, it is still crucially important for the CPU cache where the size of the working area is still extremely limited.
Good spatial locality mostly arises from data structure; whereas good temporal locality mostly arises from process. There is some connection between the two because algorithms are related to the data structures on which they operate; but it is reasonable to assert that structure is more important in determining spatial locality than process is, for example. This also means that spatial locality is inherited from its source (because the structure is retained) whereas temporal locality is not propagated (because process is localised to a working area). Indeed we would expect different temporal locality between the CPU cache and memory since good temporal locality in CPU cache is specifically used to avoid access to memory. Therefore we see that providing good spatial locality in storage will propagate good storage locality in memory and throughout; whereas good temporal locality must be provided locally by the algorithms operating on CPU cache and memory.
The latency we now see in memory makes spatial locality more important than it was before the 1990s. These days, memory is no longer randomly accessible, and good spatial locality within memory structures is a critical aspect of performance.
We are familiar with row stores and column stores offering spatial locality for very specific query patterns. Row storage offers good spatial locality within a specific row (although it doesn't help in finding that row); while column storage offers good spatial locality within a column (although it doesn't help in eliminating irrelevant rows). Clearly, neither are likely to offer good temporal locality and both require the use of indexes built on top to overcome their spatial limitations.
But what about the spatial and temporal localities of those indexes such as the venerable B-Tree?
You might think that B-Trees offer good spatial locality, but it's not that simple. While a leaf block, which contains many similar keys clustered together, offers good spatial locality across the index entries that are relevant to the query; the root block can only contain one entry that is precisely relevant. Thus we see poor spatial locality at the root of the tree but improving as we progress towards its leaves; it is not a uniform virtue across the entire structure. Indeed, the need to visit multiple independently located blocks for every tree navigation rather dilutes the spatial locality of structure as a whole.
Meanwhile, the temporal locality of the tree works inversely to its spatial locality; while the root block will be re-used with every query, it is very unlikely that any given leaf block will be re-used by successive queries.
Hence the spatial and temporal localities of reference have opposite gradients such that middle layers of a B-Tree cannot offer good locality of reference in either dimension and consistently yields poor locality in both dimensions at the same time. While the the root block held in memory works well and the leaf blocks held on storage work well, the rest of the tree behaves poorly regardless of whether it sits in memory or in storage.

What cocktail to offer on Independence Day, the day some of the greatest political minds signed the document outlining the most secure and fair methods of governance, formally and with uncommon eloquence and foresight, and obliterating all ties with Great Britain? I suggest a smash, connoting demolition and also one of our country's oldest cocktails, featuring one of our oldest spirits. I do so after consulting Brad Thomas Parsons, whose book Bitters I continue to admire. Responding to my email, he wrote: "Cocktails were born in America, but for that question, I guess I'm thinking less of an iconic drink like an Old-Fashioned or a Manhattan or a Martini, and instead, as it's the Fourth of July, thinking about a spirit with heritage—something the American colonists might be drinking. Something like applejack or apple brandy. Laird & Company is America's Read On »

Gingerbread Houseby Emilia |
Martha shares various designs for gingerbread houses for this holiday, via Martha Stewart.
Every year in about September I start thinking about what cookies I want to bake for Michael's blog. Its starts off as a long list and then gets cut down, so a variety of cookies are presented, ranging from classics to new formulations. This year I wanted to share two new recipes: a Cardamom Ginger Coconut cookie, inspired by my love of Indian food, and a gluten-free Linzer cookie. After spending time with a teammate who is gluten intolerant I decided to make a cookie just for her. The cardamom ginger coconut cookie has a soft spot in my heart because it marries the incredible base dough of my chocolate chips cookies and Indian cuisine. This cookie warms you with aromatics, cardamom and coriander. You get extra warmth from the minced crystalized ginger. There may Read On »
The Major Award/Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman Last year, Claudia Young created this truffle-infused cocktail for The Velvet Tango Room, Paulius Nasvytis's well-known Cleveland bar. It's today's choice for the Friday Cocktail Hour because it is the very embodiment of the holidays: rich, fragrant, expensive, delicious. I loved milk punch when a friend introduced me to that simple concoction—bourbon, milk and sugar. This is a milk punch times ten—a decadent but simple combo of Scotch, truffled honey, and half-and-half. This Cleveland original (first posted here), was named by a Clevelander for a movie filmed here, a movie about Christmas. What more appropriate drink could there be as Christmas approaches for today's Hour? The Major Award To serve 1: 1.5 ounces Oban (or other single-malt whiskey) 1 ounce truffle honey syrup made with a 1:1 water Read On »
Reposting this method from last year because, well, if you're going to cook a standing rib roast now or ever, this is THE best way to do it. Every Christmas Day our family cooks a prime rib with Yorkshire pudding and a beef jus (made from beef-veal stock), and there's no better way to cook a rack of beef or a whole beef tenderloin than this combination grill-roast method, which I've written about here before and in Ruhlman's Twenty: A Cook's Manifesto. It gives the meat great grilled flavor and allows you perfect control of temperatures and timing (the grilling can be done up to three days before the final cooking). The ribs themselves are an added benefit. You can serve them immediately, but I like to save them for a second leftover meal the Read On »

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador – Guatemalan, Honduran and Salvadoran officials have agreed to work together to bolster security along the countries' shared border.
The plan's goal is to prevent narco-traffickers and members of organized crime groups from using the three countries – collectively known as the "Northern Tier" – as a transit point for weapons, narcotics, animals and humans en route to the United States or South America, according to Francisco Román Salinas, director of El Salvador's National Civil Police (PNC).
The initiative has three elements:
- ::Create an anti-crime database containing information gathered by authorities on all suspects;
- ::Create a system in which Guatemalan, Honduran and El Salvadoran officials can exchange information freely about criminal activity throughout the region;
- ::Create a Tri-National Police Force, which will coordinate and carry out operations in border regions.
"We need to integrate efforts in order to fight crime in the border regions," Román Salinas said. "Gathering information will be very useful to us in fighting crime in the border areas."
Salinas, however, does not have a starting date for when the Tri-National Police Force will be formed because his Honduran counterpart, Juan Carlos Bonilla, was just recently named the head of the Honduran Police and is in the process of hiring his staff.
It also unclear how many officers each country will commit to the Tri-National Police Force since Honduras is reorganizing its department under Bonilla. El Salvador has a police force of 21,000, while Guatemala has 20,000 officers and Honduras 14,000.
El Salvador's Minister of Justice and Security David Munguía Payés, Guatemalan Minister of Government Héctor López Bonilla and Honduran Minister of Security Pompeyo Bonilla met in El Salvador earlier this month to discuss the initiative.
Bonilla stressed his police officers have been overwhelmed by the region's narco-traffickers and it's imperative his country receives help from its neighbors if Guatemala is to make strides in its narcotics fight.
"We have to act on a regional level," López Bonilla said. "We have to act in coordination and we need the support of friendly countries because this isn't just our problem – there is a shared responsibility. That is why we hope to have the support of friendly countries and also from cooperative financial entities."
Salinas said the countries need funding to create an information database.
"This is still in the planning stages," he said. "We are looking for the corresponding support to secure resources. But gathering information will be very useful to us in fighting crime along the border areas."
López Bonilla envisions the countries creating a bureau in which law enforcement agents from the three countries can work together to coordinate anti-crime and counter-narcotics strategies.
"This will be a very important step that we must look into implementing in the next few months," he said.
He added traffickers of narcotics, weapons, animals and humans are traveling through Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to Mexico, the final stop before the United States.
"Drug traffickers have become involved in all four of those trafficking aspects and we need to pay attention to that – not only here in Guatemala but in the rest of Central America," he said.
Mexican drug cartels, specifically Los Zetas, have increased their presence throughout Central America, spurring escalations in homicides, kidnappings, car thefts, extortions and human trafficking.
Authorities have documented Los Zetas' presence in the border areas of the Guatemalan departments of Izabal, Chiquimula, Jutiapa and Petén.
"Los Zetas are not only dedicated to taking over trafficking routes, but they're also overtaking the organized crime groups they encounter as they expand out of Mexico," López Bonilla said. "In other words, if there are people, if there are extortionist structures…they come in, seize them and put them to their own use. If they don't get them easily, they use force."

Job Seekers - Tell your readers WIFT (What's In it For Them)
Does your resume tell your audience WIFM (What's In it For ME - the candidate), or does your resume describe WIFT (What's In it For Them - the hiring company)? Unfortunately, most of the resumes I see now, and have seen through out my career are the WIFM variety, and fail to capture the hiring manager's attention ... because quite frankly, the hiring manager isn't so concerned about what you want. The hiring manager is primarily concerned about WIFT - what their company wants.

There's something perfect about raspberries and full-cream milk. (Is it my imagination or are all things fat-free fading from the shelves right now?) There is nothing more delicious than creamy milk, granola and berries for breakfast. And still loving the ceramics we nabbed at IKEA. They are off-white – yes, we broke our all-white rule!

Croatians are voting for a new president they hope will lead them into the European Union.
Ivo Josipovic, a law professor and classical music composer, led in the first round of elections with 32 per cent of the vote, which was double the number of votes received by Milan Bandic, the mayor of Zagreb.
The presidential election comes at an important time in Croatia's history since they are close to completing a long-cherished ambition of joining the European Union.

Texas has traditionally operated under a "low-tuition, low financial aid" model to ensure access to higher education. The deregulation of tuition rates beginning in fiscal 2004 established a market-based model that means higher tuition rates for students; in response, the state is establishing a greater commitment to financial aid.
To ensure the most efficient use of increasing amounts of state financial aid, however, the state should develop a long-range plan for state financial aid that meets the state's enrollment and participation goals. These goals are outlined in Closing the Gaps, the state plan developed in 2000 by the THECB to increase enrollment in higher education by 2015. Most of the state's financial aid programs developed during a time when it was assumed that tuition rates would remain relatively low; the state needs to rethink and realign its programs under the new deregulated, market-based model and the Closing the Gaps plan. Standardizing eligibility and benefits, to the extent practicable, and instituting time and dollar limits, would increase efficiencies across the board.
In the new era of increasing financial aid, policymakers and students need more information concerning institutional aid. Requiring institutional aid to be reported to the state by program would enable policymakers to make more informed decisions about financial aid programs and funding. Requiring links to these programs on the state's College for Texans Web site would enable students and their parents to become more informed about financial aid availability at institutions.
Support for new state aid programs designed to assist financially needy students increased last year for students primarily attending four-year institutions. TexasNextStep, also proposed in the last legislative session, would guarantee tuition, fees and books for up to three years for students attending community, technical and state two-year institutions if they enroll within 16 months of high school graduation. The program is designed to forward the goals of Closing the Gaps in the most efficient way possible -- by taking advantage of the lower tuition rates at community colleges and by requiring students to apply for and use federal grant aid before state tax dollars. Texas has another opportunity in the upcoming legislative session to take the next step and fill the financial aid gap for students attending the state's two-year institutions.

What is a search strategy? A search strategy is a systematic plan for finding the sources you need for a particular assignment. You will need to identify, obtain, read, and analyze a variety of materials in a relatively short period of time while working on an assignment. The amount of information related to a given topic can be overwhelming. It's easy to get sidetracked by interesting but off-target issues. Spending a little time planning the search at the beginning of a project can help to keep you on task and save time in the long run.
Where to begin. In some cases your instructor may tell you exactly what types of sources to use and how many. In other cases you may be told something more general regarding sources. Consider factors such as the following as you think about developing a strategy:

While finding time to enjoy meals together gets trickier for families every day, research continues to demonstrate family meals are a great way to promote healthy family eating habits.
According to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, eating together as a family during adolescence is associated with lasting positive effects on dietary quality in young adulthood.
The researchers found adolescents who ate with their families grow up to be healthier adults who eat more fruit, dark-green and orange vegetables and key nutrients and consume fewer soft drinks.
Frequency of family meals also predicts girls would eat breakfast as adults. Among boys, family meals predict higher intakes of calcium, magnesium, potassium and fiber as adults.
Family meals don't need to be complicated or time-consuming — the key is eating together.
Involve your child in the cutting, mixing and preparation of all meals. Even a snack can be healthy.
Sit down together as a family to enjoy a wonderful meal and the opportunity to share the day's experiences with one another.
To encourage a healthy lifestyle, get your children involved in selecting the food that will appear at the breakfast, lunch or dinner table.
Keep all your favorite Kids Eat Right recipes in one place.

in Action: $59 Million for Broadband Development
On Tuesday night, Governor John P. de Jongh, Jr. was notified that the Office of Economic Opportunity under the
V.I. Public Finance Authority had been awarded approximately $59 million in federal funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) to design and construct an advanced broadband network for the Virgin Islands.
to the Governor's Comments .mp3
The project will construct an underground fiber ring network on the islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and an aerial network on the island of St. John. These networks will be connected through existing fiber cables to each other and further interconnected to the U.S. mainland through existing submarine fiber cables. "Over 300 miles of new fiber cables will be laid in this project," said Office of Economic Opportunity
(OEO) Director Julito A. Francis. This will truly be an advanced broadband network once the project is fully constructed, and it will maintain its edge with new technological developments due to the interconnection with the mainland," he added.
Once the local match of in-kind and cash are added, the project will total over $120 million in economic development in the territory over this next three years. The project will create over 200 jobs during its implementation phase and will help spur economic development in the territory for generations to come, by attracting businesses—and creating jobs—in the high technology and financial sectors that depend heavily on reliable advanced high speed telecommunications to interconnect their offices worldwide. It will also be a boon to the Virgin Islanders who want to start a home-based Internet business or simply want to connect to the World Wide Web at high data rates.
In addition, the project will further advance initiatives in education, healthcare, public safety, and emergency first responders by interconnecting all of these offices with fiber cables and data rates that are at least 1,000 times faster than speeds currently available in the Virgin Islands. The network, once completed, will provide wholesale advanced telecommunications services to local private telecommunications providers and spur competition in the local telecommunications sector, leading to lower prices for higher data rates and improved services.
The Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority is a partner with the Office of Economic Opportunity in this effort and will provide in-kind contributions of conduit and pole space for the expeditious laying of the fiber network, which truly made the project "shovel ready" in the NTIA review. In exchange for its in-kind contributions, WAPA will receive access to fiber strands that will assist it in completing its smart-grid initiative as well as share in the wholesale revenues generated by the new broadband entity. "This is truly a win-win for WAPA to participate as a partner in this project, as it will allow the authority to diversify its revenue base as well as improve WAPA's network serviceability and reliability to its customers, said Executive Director Hugo Hodge, Jr.
De Jongh said Wednesday that the ARRA award will be officially presented within the next few weeks by a representative of the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Association
(NTIA) under its Broadband Technologies Opportunity Program
(BTOP). "In winning this award, the Virgin Islands' project was successful against thousands of other proposals submitted to the NTIA for funding under the
ARRA. By the end of September 2010, the NTIA is expected to award $7 billion in funding to only the best projects submitted for the states and U.S. territories."
The governor said today that this award will now begin the process of implementing the territory's telecommunications strategy that his administration envisioned over 15 months ago when a business round table was first held on St. Croix with all telecommunications providers and formed the broadband alliance of private sector businesses and public agencies. He congratulated all persons involved on the vision, the hard work, and now the execution in winning this highly competitive award in particular the OEO under the leadership of Julito Francis. "The success of your efforts will benefit all Virgin Islanders and will truly be a game-changer. On behalf of our community—great job and well done," deJongh said in an email to all persons involved in the territory's successful application for this grant.
This grant is one of four other ARRA grants totaling over $68 million for which the OEO has submitted applications to the NTIA for funding. The other three will cover interrelated projects, including:
(i) State Broadband Data Development grant, which the OEO has already been awarded, for mapping of the existing telecommunications infrastructure and capabilities in the territory, and two projects for which OEO has pending applications before NTIA for (ii) the development of public computer centers that will provide access primarily to the underserved, under-educated, and the elderly population, and (iii) the development of a sustainable broadband adoption program that will provide education and training about the capabilities of broadband for everyday use and economic development for business creation to the underserved, under-educated, and the elderly population. "All together, these projects and programs will represent over $140 million of economic development for the territory for the next three years and generate new revenues for the Virgin Islands at a time when we ensure both economic diversification and job opportunities," de Jongh said.

Any discussion of modern architecture in the Middle East is likely to conjure images of supertall skyscrapers rising over the desert, fueled by the age of oil. CHANGE: Architecture and Engineering in the Middle East, 2000-Present, however, shows that over the past decade, architects moved beyond skyscraper-philia.There is now a regional architectural vernacular that draws on a rich cultural history and heritage. The Villa Skhirat in Morocco (pictured), for instance, designed for Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates, by architect Patrick Tighe, FAIA, uses the strength and structural logic of the native Atlas cedar tree. The tree is a symbol of immortality and purity, and inspired the reinforce- concrete building's natural forms. A concurrent exhibit, "City of Mirages: Baghdad, 1952-1982," examines an earlier architectural period, when Baghdad was a flourishing, cosmopolitan city that attracted influential modern architects from around the world—leaving a legacy worth revisiting as the city begins to rebuild.
