Caterpillar Chairman Attends White House Bill Signing For Russia PNTR Legislation; Praises Bipartisan Leadership That Positions The United States To Increase Exports And Jobs
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At the Oval Office in the White House today, Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman said the signing of legislation to establish Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) with Russia is a great example of how more open trade will benefit the United States and its trading partners. Oberhelman was among a select group of people invited by President Barack Obama to witness the bill signing for the legislation, which normalizes trade with Russia, following that country's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO) earlier this year. The legislation had strong bipartisan backing in Congress and the support of the Obama Administration.
"I am honored to attend this historic event, and feel this law is proof that our leaders in Washington can set aside party affiliations and cast the right votes that are in the best interest of the United States and, in this case, an important trading partner like Russia," Oberhelman said. "By joining the WTO, and with the signing of this law, the United States and Russia have set the stage for a new era of trade, job creation and investment that should benefit the economies of both countries," Oberhelman said. "Without PNTR, American companies that export to Russia would have remained at a competitive disadvantage compared to European and Asian-based companies that export to Russia."
Russia imported nearly $300 billion in goods in 2011, yet the United States accounted for only five percent of those imports. Russia is the sixth largest economy in the world in terms of purchasing power, but it was ranked 31 st among all export markets for U.S. goods in 2011.
"This new law can help to improve those figures by expanding trade opportunities and the jobs associated with exports," Oberhelman said.

1974 Pro Bowl
|1974 NFL Pro Bowl
|January 20, 1974
|Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri
|Garo Yepremian (Miami Dolphins)
|Jack Reader
|TV in the United States
|Curt Gowdy, Al DeRogatis
The 1974 Pro Bowl was the NFL's 24th annual all-star game which featured the outstanding performers from the 1973 season. The game was played on Sunday, January 20, 1974, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The final score was AFC 15, NFC 13. The attendance for the game was 51,484 though nearly 70,000 tickets were sold.[1]
John Madden of the Oakland Raiders coached the AFC while the NFC was led by the Dallas Cowboys' Tom Landry.[2]
Kicker Garo Yepremian of the Miami Dolphins was the game's MVP. Yepremian set a Pro Bowl record which still stands as of 2012 in kicking five field goals in the game. The referee for the game was Jack Reader, who retired from on-field work after the Pro Bowl to accept a position as the NFL's Assistant Supervisor of Officials.[3]
Players on the winning AFC team each received $2,000 while the NFC participants took home $1,500.[4]

(e.g., congestion, urban sprawl) if infrastructure elements are optimally designed and located. Well-planned and operated underground infrastructure can, in many cases, improve quality of life and sustainability more so than can similar-purpose surface infrastructure.
Observation: There is little strategic coordination of underground infrastructure development in the United States.
Conclusion 1. Coordinated formal administrative support and management of underground infrastructure as part of an integrated, multi-dimensional, above- and belowground system of urban systems is vital to urban sustainability.
Potential actions:
a. Recognize responsibilities related to formal support for underground infrastructure as part of the total urban system through coordinated planning and operations, fostered technological development, and local and regional rule making.
b. Develop and encourage use of a system for consistent data collection, archiving, and access to be used by all facility owners and operators to aid decision making.
a. Explore within the federal government the most appropriate technical and administrative approaches to facilitate coordinated management of the underground as part of a total urban system. Recognize and coordinate with ongoing research in this area, for example, that conducted by the NRC Transportation Research Board related to road projects.
b. Conduct a technology scan of how countries and cities around the world collect, manage, make available, and use three-dimensional geological and buried structure information.
Infrastructure development, operation, and maintenance require management of the complex physical, social, and environmental systems influencing proper functioning. Development of underground infrastructure suffers in the United States from the lack of a mission agency or organization within the federal establishment dedicated to coordinating development activities across sectors. Project and research funding mechanisms tend to focus on solving particular problems with little consideration of long-term impacts on the total urban system.

It seems to me a better strategy would be to make ready the weapon, put on the lights, defend the room and if the threat materializes then and only then identify the threat and put sufficient rounds on enough people to neutralize the threats.
It simply seems problematic to awake suddenly and start shooting.
All this is an excellent argument for an alarm system or, better yet, a dog so as to have more warning. If a car pulls up in front of my hose I will have more than ample warning before the door is kicked in.

Fish-camp raid etched in state history
Forty years ago, the bank of the Puyallup River was the scene of a violent struggle by Indian people encamped to defend their treaty fishing rights against hundreds of law-enforcement officers, many of them armed.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Thursday eventThe Puyallup Tribe will host a commemoration and reaffirmation of tribal treaty fishing rights Thursday, on the 40-year anniversary of the storming of the Puyallup fish camp by police. The gathering will be at noon, at the event tent at the Emerald Queen Casino I-5. Veterans of the conflict will be honored, a giveaway will be held, students from Chief Leschi school will perform traditional songs and dances and stories will be shared. All are welcome.
Documentary: "As Long as the Rivers Run," directed by Carol Burns, filmed between 1968 and 1970, digitally remastered in 2006. (1971, Survival of American Indians Association)
Books: "Messages from Frank's Landing" (Charles Wilkinson, UW Press, Seattle, 2000); "Blood Struggle, the Rise of Modern Indian Nations" (Charles Wilkinson, 2005, W.W. Norton Co., New York)
The banks of the Puyallup River are quiet now. But 40 years ago, this was the scene of a violent struggle by Indian people encamped to defend their treaty fishing rights against hundreds of law-enforcement officers, many armed.
By the time it was over, black smoke boiled into the sky as demonstrators set the creosoted timbers of a railroad trestle on fire. More than 60 Indians were arrested, and the site of their summer-long encampment by the river bulldozed.
No one was killed that Sept. 9 on the riverbank — but the encounter left an indelible mark on state history.
The raid on the fish camp at Puyallup was the culmination of many clashes in the Fish Wars from the 1960s into the '70s between tribal fishermen and police, from Frank's Landing at Nisqually to the Puyallups' camp in Tacoma.
Tribal members who put their nets in the rivers faced state and local police who cut their nets, confiscated their boats and roughed up and jailed them, said Judy Wright, Puyallup tribal historian.
Again and again, police arrested tribal members for poaching, even while fishing on reservation lands — prompting tribal members to defy police with staged "fish-ins" as cameras rolled, documenting the arrests. The conflict ultimately escalated to the raid on the fish camp that September morning.
The so-called fish-ins led to the filing of a case in federal court by the U.S. Attorney's Office, to protect Indians' treaty fishing rights, confirmed in a 1974 court decision by U.S. District Judge George Boldt.
The Puyallup tribe today has more than 4,000 members — and its business enterprises, including its casinos, have made it one of the wealthiest tribes in the Interstate 5 corridor.
Back then, however, it was a struggle even for tribal members to raise bail to get their parents, uncles and aunts out of jail.
"Puyallup had nothing then," said Ramona Bennett, 72, a Puyallup elder who chaired the tribal council at the time of the fish-ins and was the council member in charge of the fish camp.
"I am on the council and we have no office, we have a broken file cabinet and broken typewriter, we meet in a church basement for our tribal meetings, and in various people's homes for the tribal council," she said. "I think there was a budget for refreshments. The only money we had was for the maintenance of the cemetery.
"We used to say then, 'We take such good care of our dead, will we ever get to take care of our living tribal members?' "
And on the riverbank that day, they feared for their lives, Bennett said.
Men, women and children had been encamped along the river all summer, sometimes as many as 300 strong, watching over fishermen working the river to document the arrests on camera and bail them out of jail.
Media also covered the encampment and arrests, in a conflict that was reported across the country and drew the sympathies of celebrities including Marlon Brando and the singer Buffy Saint-Marie, who visited the fish camps.
And while they had no jurisdiction on the Puyallup's land on the riverbank, the local chief of police arrived with a bullhorn and plenty of backup that morning and ordered approximately 80 men and women in camp to disperse.
But the Indians refused to leave.
Both sides were armed. And as police stormed the camp, shots were fired, clubs flailed, tribal members were thrown to the ground. Others ran, fearing for their lives. "They were all up on the (Highway) 99 bridge, with rifles, and we could see their rifles kicking, and you could feel the bullets going by; there is nowhere you can go," Bennett said.
"I thought I was shot dead; somebody pointed a gun at me, and pulled the trigger, but it was a gas canister.
"I remember walking through camp and I was so scared my legs were stiff; it was that Frankenstein walk you do when you are so absolutely terrified."
Bennett was arrested with the others, including a non-Indian photographer in the camp, Dolores Varela Phillips, who sewed her film inside the lining of her purse to protect it from confiscation. "I was just shooting and shooting [photos]. I don't even remember doing it, I was so frightened," said Varela Phillips, now a New Mexico resident whose photographs would become the iconic images of the conflict.
All charges against the demonstrators ultimately were dropped.
On the boat ramp at the 11th Street Bridge in Tacoma on a recent morning, Puyallup fishermen gathered to pursue the chinook and silver salmon that come up the river just as they did that morning — although in far lesser numbers.
The meaning of the sacrifices made by their elders that day is held high in their memories, many fisherman said.
"They understood what was coming, and that they needed to do this for us," said Mike Williams, 52, a Puyallup tribal fisherman who drove up from Nisqually the previous night to put his net in the river at the start of the midnight opening. He never misses an opportunity to fish, Williams said, and he is passing the skill onto his sons.
"I am teaching them so they will know their culture and their heritage," Williams said. "They have everyday jobs, but this keeps our culture alive, so they can teach their kids."
Mark Bridges, 60, is a fish buyer for the tribe, purchasing tribal members' catch for use in tribal gatherings and ceremonies. As tribal members lined up in their trucks to deliver their fish, he peeled bills off stacks of cash on the dashboard to pay them. Some fishermen made as much as $1,000 to $2,000 more than the previous day.
"It brings chills to me to think of all the things we had to fight for, and still are fighting for," said Bridges, whose aunt and uncle were leaders of the fish camp.
After the Boldt decision, he said, violence against tribal fishermen surged again. "I've had people take shots at me while I was fishing. I've had people throw dynamite in the water next to me while I was fishing with my kids."
Today, Bennett said, there is a new appreciation for the role of tribes in keeping salmon runs going in urbanizing environments. The tribe's commitment was unshakable then, and remains so, she said.
"In our religion," she said, "we have an obligation to protect our brothers and sisters, the nations of salmon, and so it was a religious conviction, as well as a need for social and economic change.
"Sometimes you have to think generationally, and that is what everyone in the camp was doing that day."
Much as things have changed in 40 years, tribal leaders at Puyallup remain aware of a tenuous balance, Wright said. She cautions young Indians to not become complacent.
Her nieces, Jennifer Conway, 25, and Patricia Conway, 28, say they carry on their family's fishing tradition in part to honor the sacrifice of their father, who endured the raid 40 years ago.
On a recent night, Jennifer Conway said, she caught about 40 pounds of salmon. She said she reveled in being out on the river and the hard work of pulling the net.
"It is to honor my father and all the people who fought in the Fish Wars," Conway said. "It will have been for nothing if we don't continue fishing and teach it to our children."

The Gift Book Sale continues this week. There are still lots of really nice, quality books that will make nice gifts.
Our annual, and much anticipated, Gift Book Sale begins this Friday. It's a wonderful way to start your holiday shopping. You will find like-new books, in pristine condition, at a fraction of retail price. This sale includes all types of books, both fiction and nonfiction, for children and adults. At this sale you could by a dozen 'like-new' books for the price of one book at a typical new bookstore. The sale starts at 10:00.
We will be closing early on Wednesday. The store will close at 3:30.
Well if this weather is an indication of the winter ahead, you really should make some time to come down to the bookstore and stock up on books. You know all the things we are advised to have on hand in case of an emergency, like candles, flashlights and food that doesn't need to be cooked? Add books to that list
There are a couple of things going on in the bookstore this week that I want to share with you. First let me tell you about the large collection of jazz CDs that will be available this week. Upfront I will admit that I don't know a lot about jazz. The list of jazz musicians that I'm familiar with doesn't extend much outside the greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker. I googled jazz genres trying to get a handle on what we have. Unfortunately that didn't help much, although I did learn that that there are many more styles of jazz than I thought. I've included the link, in case you're interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_jazz_genres. So come on down if you like jazz. I've been told there's a good selection, some recordings are a little obscure but interesting. Judge for yourself.Also, I'd like to remind you that the Kalamazoo Holiday Parade is this Saturday. I hope you're able to come downtown and enjoy the festivities. After the parade stop down at the bookstore. We have a fun holiday craft activity planned for children. Children can make a holiday bookmark as a gift or to use with a special Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa book that we will have specially priced at 50% off.
The holidays are upon us. Halloween has come and gone but Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah are right around the bend. To help get you in the mood, stop down and check out our holiday book selections. We have an extra nice selection of children's books about Thanksgiving. Our Christmas and Hanukkah selections are for children and adults. You'll find stories, crafts, and decorating books as well as holiday movies and music. If all this talk of holidays and the thought of snowy winter days make your mind turn to thoughts of travel, we have just the thing. Travel guides are a great help for preparing for trips you have planned but they're also wonderful just to look through and dream of trips you'll take someday. We have a very nice selection of current travel guides for planning or dreaming.
Are you prepared for the invasion coming this Friday? Pint-size witches, devils, ghosts, princesses, cowboys and (I'm betting) a boatload of little Elsa's, Spider Men and Captain Americas will be streaming down the streets of our neighborhoods. To get you in the mood, stop by the store this week and stock up on some spooky, scary, or silly and fun Halloween stories all priced 50% off this week.Specials this week also include: military history and music.

Romantic & Family Hotel Gardenia - GardenahotelsLatest Booking: December 19
Value for money, central location, view from balcony, warmth of room, quiet at night. Supermarket 50 meters away. For small children, the hotel pool is great. Better view if you request a room facing towards the main street than the car park at the back.
Small room (for three sharing), fold-away beds, no room cleaning. But given the price in it's hard to be too critical.
Large apartment with very large beds, and large private south facing patio. Great central location in the town, local to all shops and supermarket. Less than 5 minutes to main gondola.
Cooking facilities were very limited, two basic rings, no oven toaster, kettle or grill.
There are only 2 pillows. They are not the same thickness and are thin
Well proportioned room
We really like the location.
Description of our room was apartment for 2 people. We were very disappointed with Dumpers bed on the wall. We want to get some rest after skiing, but the mattress was in really bad stage. Kitchen was small and if you don't wash kitchen before you leave, there is charge of 55€. I'm not recommending this hotel to anyone.

10 Dystopias We Might Actually Want to Live In
Bleak dystopias are all the rage these days. Most of all in young adult novels like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Red Rising, and Divergent, which has just seen its film adaptation hit screens. All these stories imagine heavy-handed nightmare futures where the only positive thing is the glimmer of hope the stories' heroes are trying to eek out of their world. But they can't all be that bad, right? To prove it, here are some famous movie dystopias that offer at least some perks that make them maybe not the worst places to live after all.
Originally published at Esquire
By Alexander Huls
Blade Runner
I'm sure some would look at Blade Runner's cityscape, smothered in film-noir black and seemingly perpetual night, and find it completely dreary. But it's a testament to Syd Mead's amazing design work that it's really hard to watch this and not think, "This would actually be a really cool place to live." Even if its characters make it seem a little less desirable.

Football | 2011 Rookie Tickets, Andy Dalton, cam newton, Christian Ponder, Contenders, featured, Panini America, Rookie Cards | Comments (19)
By Andrew Tolentino | Football Editor
The collecting world typically doesn't get a glimpse of Panini America's historically successful Playoff Contenders line until later, if not, toward the latter part of any given football season. This year, the company's sneak peek at the January-releasing 2011 Playoff Contenders Football Rookie Tickets offers a welcomed exception.
Even incomplete, without the ink, Panini's autographed Rookie Ticket cards are consistent hot commodities in the hobby.
As the manufacturer mentioned, "For just the fourth time since 1998 (but the second time in three years), one of football's flagship brands will utilize a horizontal format and perhaps its most vibrant color schemes ever." Moving away from full-body photography on vertically oriented, darker color schemes, the coming release could be a key evolution point for these coveted Rookie Cards.
Take a look at the previews below and scroll back up to let us know what you think.
What do you think of the new-look 2011 Playoff Contenders Rookie Ticket cards?
View Results
Maaa, I don't really like these to be honest
Really like the look of these. Nice clean layout, with good photos. Interested to see them after they've been signed.
Not really liking the look of these this year…
Contenders is 1 of 2 releases I always look forward to and buy but this set from what vie seen doesn't get me excited. It may be cause we don't get the profile of the whole athlete, i dunno… Just doesn't seem as good!
My first reaction was "Huh. That's different."
While I have never been a big fan of what is always one of the most-collected autographed RC lines out there, this one does have a pretty distinct feel to it.
I have a feeling I (and others) will like them more once the (on-card?) autographs are applied.
No THANKS!!!!!!!!!
I like the look this year. I really like that there is a designated space for the auto so it can be featured properly. The bright color scheme is cool too.
Not a big fan of the layout. Like having the space for the auto, but the ticket part and the player part should be switched at the very least. I like full body shots of the players. This one has too much wasted space with the ticket part. I get the idea, but it could be fit in the player spot just as fine and then you could get a full player shot.
Love the fact the finally put a nice clean white space for the auto to go…first time the auto will actually stand out on these and not be lost in the design…good job!!
I agree with Rob….. I'm gald to see a nice clean white area for the autograph…. NOW as long as they dont use sticker autos and ONLY have ON CARD autos …. this will be a huge hit.
thats nice of panini to show use the cards that will be impossible to get out of the packs this year.
That's funny, "actual" … Contenders autographs are not impossible pulls.
I actually don't like the jarring white box for the auto at all. I think that's as jarring as a silver sticker. They'll look fine but I would have rather had some type of light, neutral background color there.
A lil bland.Stop trying to copy old NFL looks and sticks to what has worked.
I agree with the other poster who said the player photo and ticket area should be switched. It's probably too late for that to happen, so I'll move on. THANK YOU for the autograph space. My biggest pet peeve (and the reason I never bought Contenders) was because the auto was always hidden or obscured by the shiny reflective surface of the card and/or print on the card. We collectors like to see our autographs, believe it or not. Also….I'm hoping for on-card signatures in that clean white space you've designated….please?
I dont care for or against the autograph box, but now if there are on-card autographs the space they have to sign in is limited. And we all know some people have a hard time signing on the whole card without running off, let alone having to sign a small designated spot. I see this being a catastrophe for the autographs.
not digging it at all
Well it looks like contenders, you know the old contenders that playoff used to put out. Panini isn't exactly inventing anything new here. The white box only tells me that there will be many sticker autographs. I loved last years cards, and was a huge fan of 2001 contenders which this reminds me of, but I think this is a step backwards for the contenders issue.
2010 is way better looking. 2011 looks like a plainer, less artistic, version of 2009 Contenders. I wonder what the Cam Newton autos will be selling for….

Really enjoyed this! Next time I'd use more of the hot pepper jelly!
an absolutely amazing dish- thank you so much for sharing. this is a new favorite in our house. but the serving size is too small. we used a smaller brie, since i couldn't get a 9 inch one and it was gone within minutes, shared by only 2 people... i will definitely make this again!!!
I took this to my book club meeting and had rave reviews. You have to like garlic and hot spices. It was so easy to make I was worried it wouldn't taste good. Boy was I wrong!!! I used crackers but I think sliced baguette would be better.

Health Issues
Current Health Issues
UI Student Health and Wellness provides health information and recommendations specific to our campus community. You can find information about the 2014 Ebola outbreak, including current guidelines for UI students, on the UI Student Health and Wellness website
Preparing to Travel Abroad
Good health is a prerequisite to an enjoyable stay abroad and crucial while you are traveling. You may be exposed to unfamiliar climates, food, medicine, and health care systems. In many cases, a good measure of common sense and a healthy respect for your own body (and its limitations) will help to avoid medical problems. A few preliminary precautions can spare you a good deal of unpleasantness. You can also use the World Health Organization as a resource for more information.
Medical and Dental Checkups
Medical and dental checkups prior to your departure are crucial. Remember: only your physician knows your personal medical history and can advise you if your situation warrants some alteration of the general preventive guidelines outlined here. Frequently, health statements from your doctor are required to obtain a visa to enter your host country, if a visa is required.
Shots and Inoculations
Some countries require immunizations before allowing foreigners in. Some countries require a health screening by a local physician after you arrive in order to allow you to get a temporary residence permit. Your program provider should inform you of any required shots and inoculations prior to departing. To find out about specific inoculations that may be required to enter your host country or countries in which you may wish to travel, consult the travel clinic at the Student Health Service (4189 Westlawn, 319-335-8730). You may also contact the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) information hotline at 1-877-394-8747 (toll-free) or see the CDC website.
The CDC specifically recommends a polio booster, as many countries are not free of endemic polio viruses. Tetanus and diphtheria boosters are recommended for all students. Students traveling to the U.K. and Ireland are encouraged to get a meningitis vaccination. You should be immune to measles, mumps and rubella through vaccine or physician-diagnosed cases of these diseases.
If you were born after 1957, you should have received two doses of measles vaccine in order to be immune. A gamma globulin shot is useful against hepatitis and can reinforce your immunity to other diseases. Smallpox is considered by the World Health Organization to be wiped out, but country-to-country regulations change frequently.
Any inoculation should be recorded with the officially approved stamp on the yellow form "International Certificate of Vaccination as Approved by the World Health Organization." Such forms are available through the Johnson County Health Department and must be properly stamped to be acceptable.
Since many inoculations require more than one visit to the clinic or cannot be taken in combination with others, it is recommended that you begin your inquiries well in advance of your departure.
What to Bring
Medic Alert Emblem
Be sure to wear a Medic Alert emblem (recognized internationally) for a specific medical problem (i.e., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, food or drug allergies). In how many languages can you convince a nurse that you are allergic to a medication and not just afraid of a needle? Call 1-888-633-4298 for information.
Medical Records
While living and traveling abroad, it is a wise precaution to keep personal medical records with you to be used in case of an accident or illness. A good medical record will mention ALL drugs you are taking, including any not related to disease, and identify any chronic ailments, allergies or hypersensitivities. It will also list your immunization history, blood type, eyeglass prescription, personal physician, health insurance (along with the number of the policy) and, if pertinent, your religion. Be sure to make a photocopy of your medical records in case of loss. Carry these documents in a place that is both secure and accessible by you at all times while traveling.
Prescription Medicine
If you take prescription medicine, you should research whether it is available in your host country and bring a copy of the prescription for the generic name of the drug. In developed countries, you will need to take only an initial supply of the medication; in most developing countries, you will want to take a supply that will last your entire stay. Make sure all medications are in your carry-on.
Over-the-Counter Remedies
If you regularly use any over-the-counter remedies, you may want to take an initial or full-year's supply. For customs purposes, take all medicines in their original containers.
Syringes can be construed as drug paraphernalia. Bring a doctor's note if you must bring them.
Staying Healthy Abroad
Monitor your health
Do not exhaust yourself. Moderation will pay off in the long run.
Eat well
This does not mean overspending in expensive restaurants, but it does mean eating a balanced diet.
Vegetarians may find that maintaining a vegetarian diet abroad can be a challenge. It may be difficult to obtain enough quality fruits and vegetables to stay healthy, and meal plans may or may not include vegetarian offerings.
Some tips to help you through:
- Research the foods offered in your host country. You may wish to bring protein powder, vitamins, and other dietary supplements with you to ensure good nutrition.
- Talk to other vegetarians who have studied abroad. During orientation, check with the host-country coordinator regarding resources or suggestions to help you maintain your diet.
- Finally, you may need to find a tactful way to deal with social situations in which you are offered specially prepared meals that include meat.
Food Poisoning
Traveling will bring your body into contact with different bacteria; the change can unsettle your stomach or cause other health problems. Water, including ice cubes, milk, fresh fruit and unwashed, raw vegetables could upset your system until your body adjusts to its new surroundings.
Know where to get medical treatment
Find out where health care facilities are and how to access them.
Take measures to reduce the risk of exposure to sexually transmitted diseases. As always, intimate contact could expose you to bacteria or viruses that could lead to infection or contraction of STDs, including HIV.
If you consume alcoholic beverages abroad, do so in moderation. Inebriation can result in poor academic performance, higher risk behavior, and/or regretted sexual activity. In many serious accidents and deaths involving students overseas, excessive alcohol consumption plays a role. Don't become a statistic.
Health Insurance Information for University of Iowa Study Abroad Programs
The University of Iowa mandates international health insurance for all UI students travelling abroad for education purposes- studying abroad, interning, conducting research, performing a rotation, presenting at a conference, or any other educationally-related activity abroad. This 'blanket' insurance coverage is provided through Cultural Insurance Service International (CISI). Students can find more information about this coverage on our Health Insurance Information webpage.
Pre-existing Conditions/Treatment Abroad
As part of the mandated international health insurance coverage CISI will cover treatment for pre-existing conditions, and can help connect students to local doctors to help develop appropriate treatment plans. Students are encouraged to work with their doctor in the US and contact CISI well in advance of their departure date to begin planning for any medical concerns they might have while studying abroad.

Activist investor Carl Icahn exercised call options on Wednesday to take ownership of the shares underlying his 9.4 percent stake in Matthews-based Family Dollar.
Icahn, who has called for Family Dollar to be sold and threatened to move to fire the board of directors, previously held most of his stake through options to buy stock rather than actual shares. That changed Wednesday, according to securities filings, when he exercised the options and purchased the underlying shares.
Family Dollars stock rose 1.3 percent Wednesday, to close at $65.79 a share.
Icahn spent a total of $622 million to acquire all of the almost 10.7 million shares he now owns, according to securities filings. At Wednesdays closing price, the shares are worth about $703 million, meaning Icahn has already accumulated paper gains of $81 million.
Family Dollars shares have fallen from their high of almost $70 since Icahn announced his stake in the company. If the companys shares returned to that price, Icahns stake would be worth $748 million, giving him a $126 million profit on paper.
Icahn has said the chain needs to be sold because it is under-performing its competitors.

Estimating the Effect of the Red Card in Soccer: When to Commit an Offense in Exchange for Preventing a Goal Opportunity
1Columbia University
2CERGE-EI, Charles University and The Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic
3Columbia University
Citation Information: Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports. Volume 5, Issue 1, ISSN (Online) 1559-0410, DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1146, January 2009
Publication History
- Published Online:
- 2009-01-15
We study the effect of the red card in a soccer game. A red card is given by a referee to signify that a player has been sent off following serious misconduct. The player who has been sent off must leave the game immediately and cannot be replaced during the game. His team must continue the game with one player fewer. We estimate the effect of the red card from betting data on the FIFA World Cup 2006 and Euro 2008, showing that the scoring intensity of the penalized team drops significantly, while the scoring intensity of the opposing team increases slightly. We show that a red card typically leads to a smaller number of goals scored during the game when a stronger team is penalized, but it can lead to an increased number of goals when a weaker team is punished. We also show when it is better to commit a red card offense in exchange for the prevention of a goal opportunity.
Keywords: red card in soccer; preventing a goal opportunity

Mopping is No Longer a Chore With a Penguin Gliding Across Your Floors

You'll have to import it, or find and gut a stuffed penguin toy to make your own.
The Fluffy is Dyson's answer to dusty, dirty hardwood floors. It's....so....FLUFFY!
Dyson, while late to the robo-vac party, might have unsurprisingly come up with the best one yet. Its Eye 360 includes an all-seeing 360 degree camera that knows where it's been where it needs to go, and what obstacles it should avoid.
It's like having a cat that gets rid of hairballs instead of creating them.
What kind of slob doesn't wash their hands after using a public toilet anyway?
It sure as hell would have made years of disposing of sweepings much easier.
Even letting the cheapest of robo-vacuums clean your floors is still better than wasting your precious time pushing an upright all around your home. But do you know where robovacs like the Roomba are still useless at cleaning? Everywhere other than your floors. So, the new Deebot D77 from Ecovac includes a cordless, carry-able canister vacuum for eradicating dust anywhere above ground level.

Request a live demoof the Acquia platform
Michael E. Meyers, VP Large Scale Drupal at Acquia, knows better than most how contributing to the open source project you are relying on to build or improve your business will pay off. He and his team did just that when they successfully built and sold NowPublic.com – the first venture capital funded, Drupal-based startup – while making massive contributions to the Drupal project along the way.
He and I invite you not only to use Drupal, but also to make it better and to get involved with its community. If you're only using it without giving back, you're not getting the full benefit it could be giving you. Come to DrupalCon Amsterdam or an event near you and make a difference!
This week: Meet Adam "phenaproxima" Hoenich! Learn what the Drupal Module Upgrader can do for you! And what you can do for it! Come to Webchick's BoF at DrupalCon Amsterdam! Contribute!
The DrupalSouth code sprint was a huge success and a standout feature of an already excellent conference. I put this down to some ingenuity and some great preparation. I interrupted two of the people who made it all happen, Dan "dman" Morrison and Heike "HeikeT" Theis from Wellington, New Zealand, to get to know them better and talk about how they put together the code sprint at DrupalSouth.
So you're contributing a module or theme to the greater Drupal community. Awesome! We're thrilled that you're sharing your work.
Naming your project may be one of the last things on your mind, but a poor naming choice could cause you issues down the road. Your project name ends up in a lot of places, including: Google Search Results, Drupal.org related project listings, the URL to the project, the title of your project page, Drush commands, the filenames of your project files, hook invocations in your project, and CSS classes, to name a few. A name that's used inconsistently can be confusing for users and cause integration issues.
There are several principles to consider and some are more important than others, so I've broken them into three categories: The Essentials, Strong Recommendations, and Further Suggestions.
Thank you for contributing! I think this is some kind of proof of the appeal of the Drupal project and welcoming nature of our community: Manuela Hutter came to Drupal Camp Vienna – her first Drupal Community event – and was already working on a patch at the sprints on day three, mentored by the inimitable Ruben Teijeiro.
Matt Edmunds, UX Interaction Designer at Acquia, talks about his 9+ years of working with Drupal ... since version 4.3! This gave us the chance to reminisce about the days when we felt we could keep an eye on roughly the whole project on any given day or week. This was probably not truly the case back then and it certainly isn't now.
I also thought of calling this episode of our Four Freedoms podcast series "The interesting journey of a company producing proprietary software being involved in an open source project," ... not so catchy. Or maybe "Why business and openness do not have to be enemies." The point is that on February 12, 2013, Opera Software announced that it was dropping its own, proprietary rendering engine in favour of the open source WebKit engine. I wanted to know more about that decision and the consequences going forward. What I discovered is a company with a commitment to open standards, knowledge sharing, liberal licensing, and a long-term history of actions to back those claims up.
Those of us getting really excited that it is almost time for DrupalCon again sometimes need to explain to our friends, colleagues, or family members what all the fuss is about.
Have you ever had trouble putting it into words? "Yeah, Mom, we sit in rooms together and write code! ... Yes, I do that all year ... Yes, I talk to these people online all the time ... But DrupalCon is incredible because it's so ... y'know, great! I met Dries! I committed a patch with Webchick!"
Alex Bronstein talks at DrupalCon Denver about how his job in the Acquia OCTO (Office of the CTO) lets him make a difference to the development and ongoing improvement of Drupal 8.
We offer many tools and services to help you succeed with Drupal, learn more and get started for free.

Hi Terri,
I've been going to ACU since May 2010. I wanted to go to regulate my cycles as I had just gotten off BC pills. My ACU put me on chinese herbs in addition to the weekly treatments.
My cycles have been regular and my PMS each cycle has decreased significantly! I went from being bloated, queasy, exhausted, sore boobs, crampy, emotional, the whole 9 yards.
Each month of ACU, more PMS symptoms fall away. This last cycle, virtually EVERY one of my PMS symptoms has disappeared (!!), except for a bit of teariness, which I have had my whole life -- he has assured me this will also go away. I still cannot believe I had no sore boobs or exhaustion like I have had every month since I was 13 (minus my years on the pill, when I had no PMS at all).
I am still TTC but I can say the ACU has helped me with cycle regulation and MAJOR relaxation. I feel amazing and calm the day of the sessions. I wish I could go more than once a week!
The way I see it is, it makes one fully relaxed, and supports all fertility treatments, so if you have a qualified ACU practitioner, it certainly cannot hurt. The sense of well-being I have felt after sessions is incomparable. So for that, I recommend it, especially if your insurance covers it.
Good luck. :)

Open mics are the new black
Open mics are nothing new in themselves, people have always got up at poetry nights and folk clubs and done a well-rehearsed turn. The old circuit was small but predictable, regular faces with songs rarely their own, usually a Ralph McTell or Bob Dylan, performances perfect duplicates of the record everyone attending would have on 7" and be eager to compare accordingly. Guitarists coveted the Hummingbirds of others but openly doubted the best year of manufacture and recommended a different gauge and make of string. There were horror stories of bands refusing to leave the stage after a handful of songs and dragging out a full set, leaving an audience weary-hearted, the room empty and the musicians themselves as bitter as stewed coffee. Poets brought self-penned poems guaranteed of a laugh, mouthed and chortled along to in the right places, but duly slagged off in the bar afterwards.
Not so much now. Spoken word events are changing, the literary salon label slapped on and given respectability. Multi-disciplinary open mics pull in kids in their early teens anxious to tuck beneath their belts a debut performance in front of an adult audience. People come along to have a go, perhaps try new poems and songs to gauge the audience response. Events are well attended and not just by those in hope of hogging the mic.
Why? I don't know. Can we blame The Voice? Britain's Got Talent? I'm not sure. Last month, a former teacher at the open mic I host read out letters her eleven year old pupils wrote back in 1970s about the Second World War. Her words brought the house down, much like the impromptu verse written on the night read out after her appearance, and the traditional African folk tale given a 2014 twist following that.
That's not to say open mics are quite there yet. The sweet spot is elusive, still.
'I've forgotten my guitar. Can I borrow yo-'

I'm currently a SAHM of 4 boys ages 7.5, 6, 6, and 2.5. I'm pursuing a graduate teaching certificate, and will go back to work when my youngest starts school in a few years.
When I got married 9 years ago, I couldn't cook. My college roommate recently commented that she knew me when I couldn't boil water, which isn't far from the truth. With a lot of trail and error, I have learned to cook. I've always loved cooking shows, and watch them quite often. But my inspiration comes from the heart. I love to cook for my family, and nothing makes me happier than when all my kids love what I cook. I love to bake, and am currently obsessed with making my own bread.
Most of my food inspiration comes from the amazing food available here in Alaska, Lots of salmon and halibut, fresh produce from my garden in the summer. Local game - moose and caribou is a treat, too. I like to use as many local ingredients as possible.
We are a very busy family, so I've come to rely on my crockpot. I'm still working on finding healthy meals to make with it.
I'm a foodie, but not a food snob. I like food that is simple, with great flavors, and quality ingredients.

Android powered Acer Stream dubbed as "the Perfect Entertainment Machine"
Acer Liquid e being released with Canadian wireless carrier Rogers, Acer decided to let out one of its high-end offerings from right under its feet. Acer is jumping straight to the top with their latest Android offering in the form of the Acer Stream which is being positioned as "the perfect entertainment machine" that won't disappoint people out there with its impressive listing of specs. Similar to some of the devices towards the upper echelon of the Android group, the Acer Stream features the always snappy 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 3.7" WVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, 720p video recording, HDMI out, 512MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi, GPS, 8GB microSD card, 2GB internal storage, and 7.2Mbps HSDPA. As you can tell, it'll naturally cater to the needs of individuals focusing heavily on its multimedia aspects – which shouldn't pose to be a problem with this powerful handset. Now the only thing left out of the mix to complete its experience is Android 2.2 Froyo, but it'll opt to pack on Android 2.1 from the start – but we'd imagine that it would also see an update down the road.

This phone caught my eye from the Google I/O and finally I get some information to this phone. So excited~! I previously hated the Acer Liquid line very much but this phone may alter my way of looking at "Liquid" line again!

Augh I would give to have this, looked really nice. Looks much like a toy than a phone but it's still pretty cool. The GUI was pretty nice as well.

curious as to what makes this The perfect entertainment Machine more than any other android device. Especially the N-1 with flash 10 and froyo.
Android powered Acer Stream dubbed as "the Perfect Entertainment Machine"

If Huw Edwards, selected by the BBC to anchor its royal wedding coverage, is the "new David Dimbleby", then what, the Radio Times asks him, does the "old" David Dimbleby make of it? "I don't see David very often and we have not spoken about this," replied Edwards, "but we get on very well and I am a great admirer of his work." Edwards will not be alone on the BBC's coverage – far from it, in fact, accompanied fellow newsreaders Fiona Bruce, Sophie Raworth and The One Show's Alex Jones, among others. But there are some aspects to the big day on which Edwards will be resolutely silent, he tells the listings mag. "There's no way I'm going to make myself into an instant expert on wedding dresses, for example. At that key moment when Kate steps from the car outside the abbey and reveals what she's wearing, I'll be more than happy to hand over to the women on the team." Steady on, Huw. There's no reason why men can't be experts on that sort of thing as well.
