U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature For June 23
WASHINGTON, June 23, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO)
Profile America — Sunday, June 23rd. The keyboard on your computer is descended from the invention of Christopher Sholes of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On this date in 1868, he patented the first practical typewriter, with the now familiar placement of keys. Its acceptance was slow, and for several decades, many people considered it slightly insulting to receive a typewritten letter. But as machines improved, the advantages of the typewriter became clear. The need for skilled typists allowed many women to first enter the world of business. Decades ago, about a quarter of all high school students were enrolled in typing classes. Today, more than 81 percent of Americans over the age of 3 have at least one computer — with some form of keyboard in their households.

Actually, if you review my original questions then you will see that my questions are still not answered. I'm presently pouring over some MSDN and Technet documentation.
|My System Specs
|02 Mar 2010
When does a new folder get created in \Recovery?
- During initial Install and later if you manually do it or a third party program creates it. I don't know 100% if a repair or an upgrade install will create a new one; but I would guess that they would.
Can I safely delete the older of these two?
-Yes, but you really should check the bootloader to see what is referenced for RE. Just on to be certain which can be safely deleted.
To do this, type bcdedit /enum all from an elevated prompt and check the recovery entries in the boot loader and device options. I also searched for a technet guide or similar on this for you; but came up empty. However this blog showing how to repair the broken boot loader should be enough to show you where the entries are and how they fit in. you can also take a look for the identifier string in your Windows Registry if I'm not mistaken. Hope this helps a little more today and if a still don't get it... please elaborate.

I, also, ran across the statement re "when does a new folder get...". Personally, I can't conceive of someone "manually" creating a \Recovery subfolder or under what circumstances one would do such. I have a clean install of Win 7 RTM. Had RC on previously. I've installed no 3rd party recovery or recovery-related software. I was wondering if MS slipped in an updated version of WinRE in one of their updates. Although I've investigated the System Recovery menu, I've never needed to actually perform a system repair. Since WinRE is a .wim file, I find it unlikely that a repair or other operation would put a second WinRE in there. I failed to compare the sizes of the two WinRE.Wim files before deleting the older of the two. I simply compared subfolder dates and deleted the older.
Using PowerShell and some of the options there which aren't available via command shell's DIR, then I had searched every nook and cranny of my laptop and only came up with the winre.wim files in c:\recovery.
I only have a Toshiba recovery partition of 1500 MB and the normal primary partition-in my case, 147 GB. I do not have a Win7 recovery partition. Partition info shown by DiskMgmt.msc and by DiskPart both agree.
Before deleting the older \recovery sub-folder, I had used BCDEDIT to verify my assumption as to which could be deleted. BCDEDIT defaults to BCDEDIT enum /all.
If you get a chance, could you check your \Recovery folder and see if you have more than one sub-folder there. I don't ever recall doing a repair install on this laptop but I've installed/removed various software and MS beta software so perhaps somewhere along the road to restore my system from beta software from MS which doesn't always remove cleanly, I ended up with a "system repair".
|My System Specs
|03 Mar 2010
Ok karlsnooks,
To clarify:
1. Your outstanding question is about why you have more than one *.wim file and how did it get there?
2. Your Toshiba image is on a separate partition and your multiple *.wim file scenario occurred on the %systemdrive%\Recovery folder?
In regards to why someone would create a custom recovery - to me this seems obvious, customisation. I suppose, for all the same reasons that we create slipstreamed OS install disks, just to make the final release closer to our individual environments. I can see the benefits for many companies of doing this. For example creating multilingual images or adding more than one image to the same *.wim file, injecting drivers and updates into the *.wim file. But as you said you haven't been near that, so'll we'll cross that off the list.
You said...If you get a chance, could you check your Recovery folder and see if you have more than one sub-folder there. I really wish I could, I want to now the answer too; but I can't check my recovery folder for you at the moment. I'm in the process of an international move and my WIndows 7 machine is on a ship in transit to my new address. I'm on my XP netbook. Hopefully someone else will read this and chip in. (I've highlighted the question and reposted to help us here).
A side thought - you didn't use the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) did you? It contains IMAGEX that is used to create and modify *.Wim files. I thought it's worth bringing up and ticking off as well.
Given that you've been through all I've suggested previously, I've shot a quick note off to the Microsoft Recovery Environment team, I'll let you know when I hear back from them. In the interim, lets hope that someone checks their recovery folder and lets us know the contents. I also want to find out the pre-installation Environment might have a play in creating another *.wim and if repairing your installation builds another.
I've had a bit of a search since our last conversation. There's really not much info out there that focus on the specifics behind WinRE and recovery *.wim files. I don't like to assume based on web generic info. I like nice little Microsoft issued white papers that tell me 100% what is going on. So fingers crossed that we an official response. No doubt we'll all be the-wiser after this.

|04 Mar 2010
True. True. As answers to questions 1 and 2.
Although I've used WAIK, I've not used WAIK to install or modify software on the Toshiba laptop. Hope the international move goes smoothly. I've been thru a couple of those myself.
Many thanks for the info and the time and energy you've expended on my questions.

Utah won't recognise gay marriages after US court ruling
Published on Jan 9, 2014 6:16 AM
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Utah said on Wednesday it will not recognise more than 1,000 gay marriages that took place between when a judge allowed gay weddings last month and a United States (US) Supreme Court ruling this week suspending them again.
A letter by Utah governor Gary Herbert to officials said the western US state - which had opposed the district court ruling opening the way for gay weddings - must obey the top US federal court's decision freezing them again.
The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily blocked gay marriages, after Utah filed an emergency request to stay the judge's ruling, which struck down as unconstitutional a state law banning same-sex marriage.
Some 1,300 marriage licenses for same-sex couples were issued in the 17 days between the two rulings in Utah, a conservative state with a large Mormon population, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

There are two kinds of valves, the Atrioventricular Valves and Semilunar Valves.
The Two Atrioventricular Valves:
- Tricuspid Valve – Is located between right atrium and right ventricle. It is three-flapped valves that prevents or stops the back-flow of blood between the two chambers. It has three cusps.
- Mitral Valve or Bicuspid Valve – Is located in the left side of the heart specifically in the left atrium and left ventricle. It has two cups.
Semilunar Valves are smaller type of valves that are shaped like moon. They are located between the left ventricle and aorta and pulmonary artery and right ventricle. It permits flow of blood to be forced into the valves and as well as prevents blood back-flow from the arteries into the ventricles.
The Two Semilunar Valves:
- Aortic Valve – It is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It has three cusps. It primarily prevents the back flow of blood as it is pumped from the left ventricle to the aorta. As the left ventricular increases its pressure due to cardiac contraction the aortic valve opens, allowing flow of blood into the aorta. When the pressure from the left ventricle decreases, the aortic pressure forces the aortic valve to close.
- Pulmonary Semilunar Valve – Is sometimes referred to as the pulmonic valve. It is located in between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery and has three cusps. It prevents the backing flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. The opening and closing of the pulmonary semilunar valves is controlled by pressure produced by right ventricle and pulmonary artery.

Verite La Joie Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Verite La Joie Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
French for "joy," La Joie emphasizes Cabernet Sauvignon and beautifully represents a Pauillac-style wine. Each vintage is an amalgam of distinct components harvested from small vineyard blocks in the southern tip of Sonoma County's Alexander Valley, resulting in a carefully considered convergence of grape varieties, climate, soil exposition, and winemaking technique.
Tasting Notes:
This wonderfully deep and concentrated wine is very well balanced with notes of black currants, black cherries, and red berries paired with an integrated soft oak component. It possesses a rich, full-bodied personality with mouth-filling levels of tannin, extract, and fruit. Vibrant and impressive.
64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, and 3% Malbec.
The bouquet and the palate of this wine will continue to evolve and age for years to come with anticipated maturity in 2014 to 2045.

Oh Captain, My Captain: Jonathan Toews Anything But Overrated
Sometimes, you can't help but laugh at the things you hear. Such was the case when the Twitterverse was alive this week, with discussions that Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews might be overrated.
Come again?
The captain of the Blackhawks, an Olympian, a Stanley Cup champ, and Conn Smythe Trophy winner is overrated? That's news to me.
Let's take a look at Toews career so far. Not even that, just look at his accolades in 2009-2010:
- Canada won gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics thanks, in part, to Toews. The now-22-year-old forward led the tournament in assists, and was named best forward of the whole thing.
- In winning gold, Toews became one of just 23 players ever to win a gold medal at Worlds and the Olympics, while also winning a Stanley Cup. Committed Indians' Tab Bamford back in the summer.
- Toews made a run at benchmarks in Chicago playoff history, breaking Stan Mikita's consecutive games streak with at least one point, and tying Denis Savard for most points in a playoff, with 29.
- Those 29 points helped Toews earn the Conn Smythe trophy, becoming the youngest captain and second youngest player ever to win the award.
- With Toews donning the 'C', the Blackhawks won the most coveted trophy in all of sports, the Stanley Cup.
That's one year. Are there other accomplishments? Sure, he was a stud in World Juniors, a standout at North Dakota, and was named the third yongest captain ever. But in that one he made a run at the Hall of Fame.
This year has surely been tough for Toews, but you wouldn't know it.
Despite playing for one of the most disappointing teams in the league, Toews hasn't let off the gas one bit. He missed time after a vicious hit against the St. Louis Blues, but has been all over the ice in nearly every single game Chicago has played this season. Good luck finding a game where Captain Serious didn't leave it all on the ice.
It's no surprise that his 52 points are tied with Patrick Sharp for the team lead, despite being surrounded by top tier talent in guys like Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa. His 52 are tied with Sharp and Philadelphia's Claude Giroux for 18th in the league. Part of that is due to his absolutely torrid start to the 2011 year, with just six games in which he didn't score a point.
Along with lighting up the stat sheet, Toews has begun to establish himself as quite possibly the best two-way forward in the game, playing nearly as well on the defensive end as he does on offense. Oh yeah, he's pretty good at faceoffs too, winning them at a nearly 55 percent clip.
To say that Toews is overrated is simply absurd. On a scale of overrated to underrated, Toews might even lean towards the latter.
At the end of the day, Toews is a top tier forward in the NHL, and is easily in a league with that captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins, as far as an all-around talent.
So a guy who may have earned himself a permanent residence in Toronto when his career is over, all in the span of six or seven months is overrated? You can take your Ovechkin, or your Sedins, I'm taking Toews.

UNITED STATES -- Wegmans and other retailers are recalling various models of a latte maker after it was found that it could potentially leach lead.
The maker of the Back to Basics Cocoa Latte Maker says there's a small bushing inside the container that could give off lead.
The models that are being recalled are ones with either a brushed chrome base, white base or stainless steel carafe. Customers are being asked to stop using the machine.
Wegmans will give out a full refund to those who return the product.
The latte maker was also sold at other retailers, such as Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon.com.

Anyone else find it mad how they can't run as fast for as long on a treadmill as they can ouside, especially with the theory that you should run at a 1% incline to make up for air resistance (which I don't do).
For example, my 10km race pace is 12.5km/hr. Was doing 3*1mile intervals this week with 400m jogs between at this pace, actually had to stop for a quick jog mid the last one. Obviously raceday you are a bit recovered and have the buzz to push you but still ... the difference is insane.
Doing Richmond 10km in two weeks in case anyone there.
Yeah I'm a bit confused .... isn't legs on a chair harder? I'm am also trying to master press ups.
I'm definitely heavy footed and I've read that it knackers your legs out quicker so I'm trying to reduce foot contact with the ground time and land slightly further forwards. Also its something to think about on the more boring miles!
Hello all - back in training this week after a month off. (during that month doing an 8-10mile run and a speed session and a couple of body pump classes a week).
So next half marathon is October, the Richmond half and following the RW 12 week plan. Doing Brixton 10km on 24th Aug.
Week started well given the month of partying and less focused exercise.
Mon - 600m (200m jog) *4 (plus warm up/down) at 10km pace (12.5km/hr)
Tue - 4miles with 2miles fartlek between 11.5 km/hr and 13.5 km/hr and some weights
Wed - will be 4miles easy and weights
Concentrating on improving technique a lot this time ... lighter footed, hamstring rather than quad driven and more focused arms mostly. Its creating a slightly sore ankle and ball of foot atm but nothing concerning.
What Rich said, plus squats and lunges to avoid knee problems. And have decent trainers!
my 10M is 1:29:30
I'm off training for the next month, mainly for pyscological reasons! I want a month to party and do summer holidays before I crack back into it otherwise I think I'll go bonkers! So for the next month will just run once a week (ideally 9miles as that's my home to work distance) and otherwise will swim and do spin classes and work on strength training.
Next half marathon lined up for 26th October, Richmond. By the way I have a space going for Wimbledon half on 12th October in case anyone needs.
Against the advice I decided to do the full out 10km race yesterday (did Richmond) mostly because I am curious to see if it will have a positive effect as the RW program suggests and I've got another HM in 3months to make up for it if not. Did another sub 48min 10km so hopefully should be comfortable with my first sub 1:50 HM at Hackney this weekend .... if my legs stop aching in time.

Lao authorities denied independent monitors unfettered access to more than 4,500 Lao Hmong asylum-seekers and refugees, who had been forcibly returned from Thailand in 2009 and placed in resettlement sites. Restrictions on freedom of expression, association and assembly continued. Prisoners of conscience and political prisoners remained imprisoned. At least four people were sentenced to death for drug trafficking, despite a de facto moratorium on executions. No official statistics on death sentences were made public.
Laos rejected recommendations made by the Universal Periodic Review Working Group in May to abolish the death penalty. It signed the UN Convention against Torture in September. In November, the first meeting of states parties to the Convention on Cluster Munitions was held in the capital, Vientiane. In December, Laos abstained on a UN General Assembly resolution calling for a worldwide moratorium on executions.
The INGO Network, a group of international non-governmental organizations, voiced concerns about the negative impact of the rapid increase in large foreign investment projects, such as mining and hydropower. The INGO Network also highlighted the need to address social development, disparities in income and access to health and education services.
Land conflicts comprised the highest number of cases in the courts. The authorities cited gaps in laws and regulations, biased judges and a lack of transparency by justice and law enforcement officials as complicating factors.Top of page
Laos denied independent monitors unfettered access to resettlement sites at Phonkham in Borikhamsay province, and Phalak and Nongsan in Vientiane province. This hampered proper assessment of the situation of some 4,500 Hmong forcibly returned from Thailand in December 2009. The remote Phonkham site housed around 3,500 returnees, including more than 1,000 young children. It had no electricity until June, and lacked adequate health care and education facilities. Despite official assurances, identity papers and travel documents were not issued to residents.
The authorities considered all the returnees as "illegal migrants".Top of page
Lack of transparency about the fate and whereabouts of prisoners of conscience and political prisoners continued.
In the provinces, a small number of Christians were harassed in attempts to make them recant their faith.

Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) should have long-term objectives as they have larger responsibility compared to their peers in private sector to work towards achieving India's economic goals, T K A Nair Adviser to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Friday.
"I still believe you (Cental Public Sector Enterprises) have a larger role and responsibility to work towards achieving the political and economic objectives of the country which justifies your creation," he said at a function organised by the Institute of Public Enterprises.
State-owned units have a larger role compared to a corporates in private sector. Therefore, PSUs should pay greater attention to long-term matters, he added.
"I think PSUs would be better placed to do long-term thinking and that could be triggered by independent directors based on their own knowledge," Mr. Nair said.
On financial performance of PSUs, he said, "while assessing the performance of a PSU based on its balance sheet, we also have to be cautious of the restrains it faces compared to a private peer".
"PSUs work under severe limitations and constraints that have to be kept in mind while you take an overall view on performance of CPSEs," Mr. Nair said.
Speaking on the occasion, Joint Secretary in Department of Public Enterprises Ashok Pavadia, spoke on ethics and integrity in the boards.
"It is for board of directors to ensure that awareness is being created among employees in this regard," he said.
Besides, he said, there should be some kind of system to reward employees or executives of CPSEs doing good work by following ethical practices.

Here's the big takeaway from the 2011 Rising Star awards: Things are looking up.
Based on this year's batch of nominations, the federal IT community is chock-full of young employees who have the energy, ability and ambition to make a difference. The 25 who won the award were not the only deserving individuals — they were simply the strongest of a very strong field. For people who are worried about the next generation of federal IT leaders, that is good cause for optimism.
But there's more to it than that. Those individuals were in a position to win the award because their managers gave them opportunities to do meaningful work. That is something we have seen over the years: Young people who join federal agencies or their contractors often get to work on programs that are larger, more important and sometimes cooler than anything they might have touched in the private sector. How great is that?
That's why we don't put an age limit on nominees. The seemingly boundless opportunities in the federal government have always attracted people looking for a second career. So our criteria simply specify that nominees must be in the first third of their federal careers, which in practice translates to roughly 10 years.
I would like to thank this year's judges for taking on the difficult task of sifting through the nominations and narrowing the field to 25. It was an intense process, but it paid off in spades, as you will see in the pages that follow.
I also would like to thank Phil Kiviat and the Bethesda, Md., chapter of the Young AFCEANs, who came up with the idea for the Rising Stars program seven years ago.
And finally, I salute the Rising Star winners of 2011. I look forward to seeing all that you will accomplish in the bright days to come.

Useful ideas to process from today' #AdjunctChat. Lots of potential next steps for how we move forward on adjunct and contingent issues.
@Bali_Maha Missing what you are asking; can you mention that one again? #ccourses
. . . and here I am, only my second day in the Connected Courses experience, and already I am given homework!
What could I have done to deserve this?! I asked for help with my blog, given how it is a bit cluttered and unfocused. No secret there; it has been a bit neglected of late, so why not ask our trusty blogchanics, Click, Link, and Embed, The Connected Brothers for help, and voila!
I thought that
To be fair,
After all, if I cannot say what I like, then how can I give them what they need to help me get there?
OK, time to roll up my sleeves and try to identify what I like. Here goes.
To my method, I reviewed the 141 blogs (at the time) that are registered in Connected Courses, and noted the ones I was drawn to. This is not content or quality based, but rather the ones that somehow visually drew me in.
I responded to the ones with clear images that are inviting, that capture some thought or mood or interest, and whose layout is clear and easy to follow with clear and uncluttered fonts.
Visually stimulating, not an overwhelming amount of text, with clear purpose and navigation.
These are the ones that I found engaging in a way that I wanted to revisit, to try to understand what they were about, and what I could learn from them through some form of interaction.
It has been a long time since I posted here. A really long time.
Ok, to be fair, most of the Tweets I do every day (yes, every day) are archived here; they just do not appear on the home page. Nevertheless, I have not developed or shared or expressed any of my thinking here in some time, oddly enough since I completed my doctoral work.
Yes, I am busy. Who is not? I feel pulled in more directions than I can count due to my full-time work as a project manager in healthcare, an adjunct professor teaching graduate research, and hobby engaging in research on how people develop their identity and self-expression through troublesome thresholds concept experiences, especially related to social media and online networks.
Do I have time to blog? Enough to say that could not be better stated in 140 characters? Only time will tell, but with so many interesting people here who are already sharing, supporting, and engaging in research in this area, it is time for me to more explicitly engage in this community and see what I can learn along the way that will improve my teaching, research, work, and overall satisfaction thinking about and implementing stronger connections and networks.
Why not explore all of this with others who are looking at ways of connecting open resources through the Connected Courses community and Fall 2014 experience? This experience has been described as:
So, here we go!
@Comprof1 Had you taught them before? #AdjunctChat

My husband and I decided this place would be a regular stop at least every two weeks for us. From the day they opened, we have loved the sushi! As for the staff, they are absolutely wonderful!!! This is a family business and although maybe once or twice the service has been slow, but by no means has anyone ever been difficult or nasty with us. Sushi Yama's food is outstanding with mega size rolls and a terrific price.
Posted by Anonymous on 07/17/2014
The food here is pretty good but the service is not. I went there about a month ago 30 minutes before they closed and they said they were already closing the sushi bar so I had to order right away and then they rushed us the entire meal. We tried to go there again last Sunday when they were supposed to be open until 10pm and as we were walking up at 8:30 there was a hand written sign in the door saying they would be closing at 9pm so we left because we did not want to be rushed again. We will not be heading there again when in the mood for sushi next time with such unreliable service.
Posted by Tisha on 09/24/2011
Can't really say enough good things about this place! Their sushi is great! I love the rice-less rolls, as well as the basic sushi rolls, their tempura appetizers are just perfectly crispy and not too light. I usually get edamame and the portion is great for sharing and cooked to perfection. Iced green tea is tasty! Their sushi boats are absolutely beautiful and delish! And dessert is a complete treat! Tempura fried ice cream! Yum! Also for lunch, the bento boxes are great, totally fills you up and leaves you totally satisfied! Lunch is til 5 also, which is pretty unheard of but makes dining on a budget so easy and convenient :)

The weather these days has been up and down in Alpine recently, but the low numbers are receding and staying with us fewer and fewer days each time we see them. Of course the weather is relative, and ours is a much more preferable and hospitable climate than most anywhere else in the country on most any given day. For example, earlier this week when I arrived on campus a little after 7AM on Monday it already was in the low 50s. But on TV in the University Center where Sasha customizes the coffee, Al Roker was shivering in New York City with hundreds of onlookers who looked way beyond just cold.
There is much to enjoy about Alpine in addition to the weather. In previous blogs I have mentioned the friendliness of the people and the natural beauty of the Big Bend area. I've also talked on numerous occasions about the campus community and how much I enjoy serving faculty who are dedicated to excellence in teaching, staff who have a genuine affection for Sul Ross, and students who have chosen the Lobo family over many others that they could have selected.
I also like being able to pop into the University Center and bump into our athletes and coaches having breakfast. It seems that Coach Pearce now has a full complement of coaches who are enjoying Spring training at Zero Dark Thirty each morning. Driving by Jackson Field this morning on the way to the office the bright lights of the stadium cut like a beacon through the darkness. As I got out of my truck, I could hear the sounds of young men practicing together at a time when most of the town was just starting to wake up. If the sounds I heard are indicative of the season we will have next year then I think we are in for a treat. They were not only loud, but upbeat and in synch, suggesting to me that Coach Pearce has them working well toward some important common goals.
I also ran into Antuan Washington yesterday in Graves Pierce and he mentioned he was enjoying the extra duties as our interim track coach. The team seems to be competing at a high level and I'm optimistic we may have some track team members that will represent Sul Ross at a national level. I also heard from AD Bobby Mesker that we have successfully recruited some volleyball players that will help make a difference in that program thanks to our very enthusiastic new coach, Dewayne Roberts. By the way, our women's basketball team and senior standout Asrelle Anderson were both recognized by the American Southwest Conference for their outstanding sportsmanship.
On an unrelated note, I heard from my Executive Assistant yesterday that we may not be able to unveil the new statue of Sullivan Ross the week of Spring graduation after all. According to Paul Tadlock, the foundry will not likely have it finished until June which leaves us scratching our heads a bit wondering when the next best opportunity for an unveiling will occur. We'll continue to monitor the production progress and consider likely dates, including our donor's availability to visit campus.
There is lots to be proud of at Sul Ross!

2. Stir together the gluten-free baking mix, cornstarch, white sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a bowl, sifting with a fork to remove lumps. Pour in the eggs and melted margarine, and mix with a large spoon or electric mixer on low until the mixture forms a smooth batter, 3 to 5 minutes. Scrape the batter into the prepared baking dish.
3. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the oven rack to prevent spills as the brownies rise, then fall during baking. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the brownies comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

Movie scores look beyond traditional composers: Win
Don't misunderstand, a grand orchestral score can still move, and in films such as "Black Swan" and "True Grit," among many others, the scores played a pivotal role. Yet there's no harm in giving filmgoers something a little unexpected. In the case of "Tron: Legacy," for instance, Daft Punk's... Columbia TriStar

Shutdown reality
Prolonged loss of federal funding will curtail food, fuel assistance, state says
|House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, speaks to reporters following a meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2013. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)
HARTFORD — If the federal shutdown drags on, poorer households that rely on food stamps and heating assistance face the possibility of a colder, hungrier winter.
The implications of the partial federal shutdown for Connecticut became clearer Tuesday as the state and country braced for a prolonged hiatus.

A home away from home whether for some Rest & Relaxation or because the weather is just no fun and you need some sun!
This really is a VRBO because if you aren't here I am, and so I hope you will enjoy the beauty of the desert, the fun of being out of your every day neighborhood, the rest from your list of honey do - all the reasons we 'run away from home.'
Welcome to this spacious one bedroom condo in Palm Springs, nestled under the San Jacinto Mountains - across the street from The Mesa, down the street from Moorten's Botanical Gardens, hiking, horse back riding, a State Park at the end of Palm Canyon Drive and a five minute drive to everything in the center of Palm Springs. It is convenient to everything along Highway 111, including markets, restaurants, and services.
The Sandstone Villa Condo complex has 4 pools, 4 hot tubs, 3 tennis courts, laundry facilities and bbq's. The covered parking is nearby the first floor unit. This is a gated community, so an access card is required for entry.
The Living Room has an electric fireplace for ambiance and a little heat if you want. The light by the front door can be operated by remote control for convenience. The large color television has TimeWarner basic cable and DVR, a DVD player with DVD's for your amusement. Some are Palm Springs lore or location. There are several Palm Springs books for your enjoyment, from historical, whimsical, gossipy or athletic (hikes and bikes!) There is also a Classic iPod compatible clock radio for your musical needs.
The Dining Room seats four and is right off the Kitchen, which is stocked for everything from a quick breakfast (blender in the cupboard along with the toaster) to gourmet repast cooked or bbq'd. (BBQ items & plastic dishes in the hall cupboard nearby.)
The Bedroom is good sized room with a Queen sized bed and dresser. A second bed is available, which is a bed height air bed for additional guests or children. The air bed can be placed in either the living room or in the bedroom. There is a color television with TimeWarner Cable and remote.
The Bathroom is quite spacious with three towel racks, two for bath towels, one for hand towels, and towel hooks for four. The bathtub and shower is referred to as a sunken garden tub.

Walking distance or a five minute drive is the official center of downtown Palm Springs, with their famous Palm Springs Follies, Farmers' Market, Restaurants and Shopping. Palms Springs Sun Bus is only a short walk, allowing you your choice of how to arrive.
Golf and Tennis are the joy of desert living and you are near some of the best throughout the entire desert communities, some might say U.S.
Most of all, I feel this has the best of being in a home with the freedom to fly out the door and do all the things you can - to the opposite end of taking the time to stay still, be quiet and find your own zen.
SandStone Villas CC&R's allow for rentals of a minimum of seven (7) days/nights. The City of Palm Springs has a Transient Occupancy Tax of 11.5% on stays under 28 days.
Unit 163 is registered with the City of Palm Springs Department of Finance and Treasury, Room Tax Division, Permit Number 47490000 - 20014173
Keywords: Close to everything, with the beauty of the desert outside your door.
Not yet ready or able to retire yet, but several of my friends have moved to the desert. I'm getting used to the real heat and the laid back lifestyle of the desert. For now, I visit when I can. And am delighted to meet people from all over when they come to the desert or rent my little oasis.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2010
Close to central downtown Palm Springs, a quick drive to friend's home, and a few minutes further to the amenities the other desert cities have to offer.
The pool is fabulous to relax in, the spa the perfect place to leave your tensions. The view of the mountains calming and delightful.
I chose this place over others because it offered the sense of a home as well as a sanctuary.
1 mile from the center of downtown Palm Springs. Palm Springs Sun Bus is three blocks from the entrance to SandStone Villas so you can walk, drive, or take the bus if you don't want to use a car. Guests have walked to downtown PS and to the nearby market.

Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership Gets Launched
Officials at CSULB officially launched the campus' newest educational venture – the Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership – at a special reception on Nov. 2, at The Pointe in The Walter Pyramid.
The Ukleja Center is housed within the campus' College of Business Administration and its aim is to promote ethical leadership through community outreach, university research and the inclusion of ethics principles across the university's curriculum. Center officials' goal is to be the preeminent center of thought on applied ethics in leadership in business and the professions among public comprehensive universities.
Under the direction of Luis Ma. R. Calingo, dean of the College of Business Administration, the Ukleja Center is designed as an interdisciplinary establishment, and it will draw upon the collective expertise of faculty and administrators from all of the university's colleges as well as its Division of Student Services.
"Ethical issues and problems exist in many professions and industries – business, journalism, sports, biotechnology, health care and government – just to name a few," Calingo pointed out. "We believe that the preparation of tomorrow's ethical leaders is a critical component of the education experience, and as a result of the Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership, we envision graduating students in all of these fields who are not only technically competent but also honest and ethical citizens."
The center was named in honor of its primary benefactors, Mick and Louise Ukleja, long-time supporters of CSULB whose substantial gift toward an initial $2.5 million endowment was responsible for establishing the center. Mick Ukleja is the founder and president of LeadershipTraQ, a consulting firm focused on training corporate executives in responsible leadership.
"The center will combine solid academics with solutions to real-time challenges that we face on a day-to-day basis – on the job and in our families," explained Ukleja, a CSULB graduate and a member of the university's Board of Governors. "Louise and I are proud to be a part of a center that sees the importance of learning about ethical leadership. Living with integrity is not easy. Living without it is impossible."
The Ukleja Center is focusing on three primary areas – education, research and community outreach. Its initial educational initiative is "Ethics Across the Curriculum," which will financially support the infusion of ethics and ethical leadership in undergraduate and graduate courses throughout the university.
"We do not want our center to merely react to perceived ethical failures and crisis, but rather, the purpose of the center is to cultivate a positive, inclusive and multidisciplinary emphasis in all of our ethical and leadership programs," noted Kathleen Lacey, associate director of the Ukleja Center. "One of the programs the center will be developing in fall 2006 is a California Leadership Academy to prepare student leaders from around the state in meeting the challenges in ethical leadership beginning in student activities and student government and extending to their professional lives."

The atmosphere is as much spectacle as spiritual, with flashing neon lights, lavish parade floats, and deafening loudspeakers broadcasting religious messages around the clock.
Every 12 years, millions of pilgrims gather for the Kumbh Mela at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers near Allahabad, India. The pilgrims bathe in the holy waters to purify themselves of sin. The Kumbh Mela is one of the most important pilgrimages in Hinduism and the largest temporary gathering anywhere in the world.
Many observers describe the Kumbh Mela as a religious fair. This description is apt. The atmosphere is as much spectacle as spiritual, with flashing neon lights depicting scenes from the Mahabharata, lavish facades decorating wealthy ashram camps, and deafening loudspeakers broadcasting religious messages 24 hours a day.
I spent a week at the 2013 Kumbh Mela with two friends. Rather than stay in nearby Allahabad or in hotel-like tents at the edge of the mela, we chose to embed ourselves in the event by staying in the temporary tent city itself. A series of chance encounters led us to stay first with representatives of a socialist political party, and later at the ashram of Swami Vivekananda Giri.
These photographs show day-to-day scenes within tent city, culminating with an insiders' view of the pre-dawn bathing procession of February 15, a particularly important bathing day.
8 February 2013
Sprinting alongside our train to Allahabad, we find every door in every car blocked by people. We can't board. Two days later, crowds at the Allahabad railway station stampede, killing 36 people and wounding several dozen more.
Finding a bus is easy. The cost? Only 105 rupees (about $2) per person. However, with pilgrimage traffic the 75-mile ride takes almost six hours.
Hungry and tired, we arrive in Allahabad at 11 p.m. and search for the accommodations we've booked. At 2 a.m. we find our camp--two canvas tents walled in with corrugated metal sheets. Nine people share our tent. The cost is 500 rupees ($10) per person per night. For a patch of straw on the ground, it seems expensive.
Strange and deafening public address systems abound at the Kumbha Mela. Beside our tent, a man's hoarse voice screeches and shouts from a loudspeaker, resembling the ravings of lunatic, sandwich-board-wearing street preachers. The loudspeaker is turned too high and shrieks with feedback and distortion. Still, I fall asleep instantly.
9 Feb 2013
In late morning we leave, seeking food and better accommodations. We walk only a hundred feet before some men ask how we're doing. Very well, I tell them, but we'd feel better after lunch.
The men represent the Samajwadi Party, a socialist-democratic political group that have opened several very crowded tents at the Kumbh to offer pilgrims respite. They give us a very spicy lunch and invite us to spend the night. Later we learn their party leader is a former professional wrestler.
We wander all day to get our bearings. In the tent city, a grid of streets runs parallel and perpendicular to the Ganges. Metal sheets cover major roads so the mud-sand soil doesn't become rutted. Fifteen temporary pontoon bridges cross the Ganges, and two more cross the Yamuna. Police patrol every intersection. Water and electricity are piped to every camp. Vendors line major streets. At the heart of it all is the sangam, the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers. The most auspicious place to bathe, the sangam has no camps, only a large open area where bathers gather to dip.
10 Feb 2013
Mauni Amavasya Snan - the most important bathing day!
Our hosts wake at 2:30 a.m. to walk the five miles to the sangam. The crowds are already immense. The red and dusty world outside the tent looks the way Mars must during its world-encompassing dust storms.
We drink chai and eat 5 rupee (10-cent) samosas. Then we leave to bathe.
We find a calm-looking spot about half a mile from the sangam. Women bathe clothed, but men bathe in their underwear. I strip down and enter the water. Unlike Indians, I don't fully submerge. I don't want river water to get in my mouth. Hindus believe the Ganges is pure almost by definition because it descended directly from heaven, but I believe in germ theory.
Afterwards, we enjoy the post-dip ambiance. A man puts a red tilak on our foreheads. Someone gives us blessed sweets, called prasad.
In the evening, we photograph the ashrams' wildly decorated facades. Most Hindu organizations in India have a presence in tent city during the Kumbh. Some of these camps - called ashrams - are small, but some house many tents and dozens of disciples.
