Gregory Parham combines his career interests in epidemiology and information technology
Gregory Parham, who has spent much of his career at the Agriculture Department, likes to talk about his youth in Reynoldsburg, a small town in central Ohio that professes to be the birthplace of the commercial tomato. By sharing that historical detail, Parham reveals that his agricultural roots run deep.
Besides coming from a town that is proud of its tomatoes, Parham has other agricultural ties. His father was a veterinarian who worked at the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Parham, who is also a veterinarian, became APHIS' chief information officer in March.
In his new role, Parham said he will focus on maximizing the agency's information technology resources. Since taking the position, Parham said, he has tried to learn all he can about the agency and has spent much of his time learning about APHIS' mission.
The position is not quite what he expected. Parham said he knew that APHIS had an expansive mission, but its breadth and depth are greater than he realized.
Preventing bioterrorism, for example, is a major part of that mission. APHIS responds to new bioterrorism threats in the same way it deals with animal diseases. It identifies potential problems and tries to mitigate the risks they pose. APHIS has faced many unfamiliar threats and found practices and procedures to deal with them, he said.
One important program in development is a national animal identification system that would control disease outbreaks by using IT to track livestock from the farm to the slaughterhouse, Parham said. It requires close partnerships with states and the livestock industry.
Parham's colleagues said they are glad to see him in his new position as CIO. "He understands the fundamental issues of the agency in a way that very few CIOs could because of his background" in IT and veterinary research, said Anne Reed, president of Acquisition Solutions and former USDA CIO. She said Parham is focused and intellectually curious.
Several years ago, Reed asked Parham to be executive leader of the USDA's Year 2000 code-conversion program. He performed that role well and continued to work in the CIO's office, she said. As APHIS' CIO, "he'll bring a level of professionalism to the position" and will find ways to use IT to improve how the agency performs its mission, she added.
Another former colleague described Parham as an excellent fit at APHIS. "First and foremost, Greg Parham is a fine human being," said Ira Hobbs, CIO of the Treasury Department and a former USDA deputy CIO. He said Parham is a dependable man with integrity, compassion and conviction. "It's been a fine tribute that he's become a CIO," Hobbs said.
As a former associate CIO at the USDA, Parham reduced the department's IT portfolio costs by 30 percent in a two-year period, mostly by eliminating redundant information systems.
Parham keeps up with his health science interest. The spread of disease among animals and from animals to humans fascinates him.
"I was very interested in diseases and populations," he said, adding that he studied epidemiology within the field of veterinary medicine.
Parham's transition from veterinary medicine to IT occurred after he graduated from vet school and got a job as an epidemic intelligence officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. "To be able to have that kind of an opportunity…gave me a real sense of the kinds of things you can do in the government," he said.
Parham studied rabies in wild animals throughout the central United States by using computers to generate maps and models that showed how the disease spread. At that time, mainframes were dominant in the computing world, and PCs were new.
That experience and other opportunities offered by the government drew Parham into a life of public service. Many of the jobs that interest him would be difficult to do elsewhere, he said. Working in the federal government, he can combine his veterinary expertise with IT.
"When you look at what the opportunities are to do a lot of varied kinds of things, the government is a pretty good place," he said.
Career highlights: Parham was associate chief information officer for information resources management at USDA headquarters from 2000 to 2006. He was executive sponsor of the USDA's Year 2000 Program Office from 1997 to 2000 and national program leader for veterinary medicine and livestock production in the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service from 1995 to 1997. He also served as head of the Distance Education and Information Technology unit of the USDA's Extension Service from 1990 to 1995.
Education: Bachelor's degree in microbiology from Ohio State University, master's degree in administrative science from Johns Hopkins University and doctor of veterinary medicine from Ohio State University.
Family: His wife, Delila, is also a veterinarian and works at the USDA. They met at Ohio State and have two sons: Philip, 19, and John, 11.
Outside activities: Reading and gardening. He said he prefers growing plants in pots so the deer can't eat them.
Favorite local spot: His son's school, Ascension Lutheran School in Hyattsville, Md. "There are just so many activities that they have going on," he said.
Management tip: "Put people first."

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed optimism that heavily-indebted Greece will receive the next tranche of financial rescue funds from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to avert a debt default next month.
She assured visiting Greek Prime Minister Georgios Papandreou of Germany's "full support" for his country to come out of its persisting debt crisis successfully and remain a part of the euro zone.
"We want a strong Greece in the euro zone and we will do everything necessary to help Greece overcome the crisis," she told a news conference after a meeting with Mr. Papandreou on Tuesday evening.
Ms. Merkel said it is a positive sign that the "troika" of the EU, IMF and European Central Bank is returning to Athens on Thursday to verify the progress made by Greece in implementing agreed reforms in return for a 110 billion euro bailout fund offered by the EU and IMF in May last year.
She demanded that the Greek government fulfill its commitment to get a favourable report from the team of experts.
As far as the German government is concerned, all decisions on future assistance for Greece will be based on the reports of the "troika" of experts, she said.
Greece will receive the next tranche of 8 billion euros if the experts give a favourable recommendation.
The Greek government had warned that it will become insolvent if the latest instalment of bailout funds is not released by the middle of October.
Meanwhile, the Greek Parliament in Athens on Tuesday passed a highly unpopular property tax, one of the conditions set by the EU and the IMF for the release of the next tranche, as thousands of people demonstrated outside in protest against the government's latest austerity measure.
Chancellor Merkel emphasised Germany's solidarity with Greece and said the two nations are closely linked by their common currency.
"The weakness of one partner is a weakness of all," she said.
The meeting between the two leaders came two days before a crucial German parliamentary vote on expanding the euro zone's financial rescue fund, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), and giving it new powers to safeguard the stability of the euro area.
These proposals were agreed to by EU heads of state and government at their summit in Brussels on July 21.
Ms. Merkel expressed confidence that an upward revision in the size of the EFSF would be passed by the Bundestag, in which her Centre-Right coalition has a majority, on Thursday, even though a group of "rebel" coalition MPs have threatened to vote against it.
Mr. Papandreou reaffirmed his government's determination to press ahead with reforms in spite of mounting public protests and to fulfil all the conditions agreed with EU partners and the IMF.
Greece is determined to fulfil its commitments and to fully implement austerity measures to overcome the debt crisis and to restore competitiveness of the economy, he told the news conference.
He thanked Greece's euro zone partners for their support and said the Greek people are making enormous sacrifices to take the country out of its present crisis and "it is important that they get signals of support from their European partners".
Earlier, Mr. Papandreou sought the support of the German industry for his government's reforms and for enhancing economic efficiency by stepping up their investments in his country.
"I can guarantee that Greece will fulfil all its commitments," he told the annual conference of the Federation of German Industries (BDI) in Berlin.
"I can promise you that Greece will fight back to the path of growth and prosperity after this painful period," he said.
Mr. Papandreou pointed out that Greece made "remarkable progress" since it began implementing the reforms demanded by the EU and the IMF in return for the first financial rescue package of 110 billion euros pledged in May, 2010.
The Greek government succeeded in substantially reducing its budgetary deficit last year.
His government's goal is to achieve a budgetary surplus next year by implementing the most comprehensive structural reforms in the country's history, he said.

My husband and I usually use Black Raspberry powder daily for its health benefits. These Black Raspberry veggie caps are excellent to take when we do not have time to prepare the powder in a food mixture. Great for travel convenience. We have done a lot of research on the importance of its specific benefits, and plan to purchase it again in the future.
Healthy berries!

From what I've read, black raspberries are a number one weapon against colon cancer. They are full of dark purple anti-oxidants, which are supposed to be some of the most potent against disease.

On the advice of attorney, client Opus the Penguin is not commenting on any questions regarding so-called PENGUIN LUST!
Love the 'do. Trump would be envious.
Well, that's just the way ANY religious fanaticism works;
Innuendo, vague suspicions, hearsay, distortions, half-truths, and outright fabrications!
No wonder I don't believe in ANY religion.
They were created by men, maybe with good intentions at first, but now they are nothing but an excuse to start wars, steal from gullible, and frightened idiots, and generally screw up life!
It is much easier to believe in nothing and be the center of your own little universe than to believe in something and remember you are a marvelous creation. Many people have co-opted religous beliefs to their own ends and they will pay the price for it; but to assume that there can be nothing more intelligent and creative than humans is arrogance that defies expression.
But I do see a very intolerant Bible thumping televangelist who needs to take part in a witch burning as the witch.
Funny you should say that because eventually Trump does join the strip, in its last year.
Magic my friend is just smoke and mirrors and slight of hand. The Godly would have me believe that gods operate by magic and that is just so silly. I believe a lot of things and I have faith in a lot of things but I don't waste either on gods or about what's beyond death. Arrogance is telling folks they are so special that it took a guy in a beard and bed sheet to say Allahkazam presto changO and there you have MAN. It is rather humbling to know that we are the end product of a few billion years of continuos life from the primordial ooze to a walking talking human.
Get ready for a fight Opus – a big one.
A truer religion would reject war, provide for the needy, motivate its adherents with love, and make lives better and happier. If such a religion existed, would you still reject it?
You do have faith if you believe in evolution. Right at its foundation (and throughout the process), it demands magic over and over again to do what its claimed to do.
Science you are unable to understand will always appear to be magic, to paraphrase A Clarke
Not magic, just an understanding of the process. I don't claim that evolution as the theory stands now has all the answers or links but it's a better bet than a creation myth.
You shouldn't 'believe' in evolution. Examine the overwhelming evidence and realize the logical fact of evolution. That's what science is all about. Believing is not necessary.
Bizarre, I thought Oral Bill was a dig at William Clinton.

Tracine Asberry flashes a huge smile, then answers a question with a question:
"How do you think I got these teeth?"
The question was why the impending new school board member for southwest Minneapolis has been unable to garner the endorsement of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers after 10 years as a dues-paying member of that union.
Her perfect teeth come courtesy of braces paid for by the United Auto Workers dental program. Her father was a 30-year UAW member on the night shift in Ford's River Rouge plant. She said she understands how union membership can help reshape economic fortunes as it did for her family, one with roots in the sharecropping South.
The sole candidate for the district seat said the question of lack of union support is one the union ought to answer. The federation endorsed Alex Phung, who vied with Asberry and two others last spring for DFL endorsement but later dropped out.
Union President Lynn Nordgren said it picked the Cargill lawyer over the former teacher and union member because Phung's Asian background would add to a board that racially represents nearly all the major students populations in the district. She denied that the union is snubbing Asberry. That's despite the union mistakenly listing her as endorsed on its web site this month until a reporter inquired. Nordgren also said the union doesn't revisit endorsements if its first endorsee doesn't run, although in 2008 it did just that in endorsing Chris Stewart.
Although the DFL eventually endorsed Asberry when she was the only candidate to file after dominating a deadlocked party endorsing convention, the union didn't budge. One clue may be that Asberry told a spring voter forum that she didn't know whether she would have voted for the pending union contract, a contrast to three other candidates who said they would.
That lack of endorsement means that she'll become the first southwest district representative on the board without owing the union anything. That potentially swells the pool of board members willing to buck the union on contract issues to at least three of nine, and possibly four of nine members.
Asberry said she starting to think about how to expand her influence on schools even as she was finishing her doctorate in 2009. After 10 years as a middle school teacher at W. Harry Davis Academy, she'd taken a leave and a Bush fellowship, just as that school was closing, to study critical pedagogy and family involvement in schools.
She began teaching as an adjunct at several local teachers colleges while also administering the African-American Academy for Accelerated Learning, which does black cultural heritage education outside of schools.
Her prime goal for her district is addressing burgeoning class sizes, in a district of the city in which mainly white student enrollment is swelling. She said she wants to understand why dollars flowing to popular schools don't pay for smaller classes. She said big classes inhibit the ability of teachers to spend time with both high- and low-achieving students.
But Asberry is also hoping to use her board seat to bolster the district's parent involvement efforts, an area where lots of talk about engaging the community on school issues has so far produced only wheel-spinning. She studied the topic for her dissertation, focusing mainly on low-income women and how to incorporate their voices in schools even when lack of transportation or work conflicts kept them from traditional parent participation like going to a meeting.
That grew out of her Davis teaching days. Her parents sacrificed to send her to parochial schools that were better than the public schools available in Detroit, and never failed to correct her grammar, so she assumed all parents took an active role in their children's schooling. When many parents at the high-poverty Davis didn't, she reached out to them.
As a mother with three children, two of them old enough to go to Washburn High School and Barton Open School, she's tried to enrich their knowledge of their cultural background. She's taken the two oldest to Ghana, and taken the family to Detroit to expose them to their roots.
That's much like her parents. They'd take the family home to her maternal grandparents in central Georgia, a world of cooking on a cast-iron stove, using the outhouse, and what she remembers most fondly, rocking on the shaded porch to hear the family stories of struggle and activism that often morphed into family singing or her grandfather playing spoons.
"That's when I first learned to sing from my soul," she said. Those are the stories she wants to pass on to her children, she said, along with the stories of parents not currently engaged in their schools.

Beck: At a forefront of the news this week is the largest immigration raid in the nation's history. On Monday, federal officials descended on a Kosher packing plant located in Postville and hauled away hundreds accused of being in the country illegally and in some cases of identity theft. They are housed at Waterloo's Cattle Congress fairgrounds where a make-shift courtroom has been set up for deportation hearings. In addition to the immigration angle, some other stories are emerging from the raid, including charges of abuse of workers at the plant and the political generosity of the plant owners. Kay Henderson is here with us with the latest on the matter. Kay, this story continues to unfold. What is new?
Henderson: I believe the latest is that the last of the deportation hearings will occur today at the Cattle Congress, the Electric Park Ballroom was converted into a courtroom to process folks ten at a time. I think a lot of that has been written about this brings to light the word sordid. Some of the things which informants were telling federal prosecutors about what was going on inside the Agriprocessors plant are troubling.
One of the stories that we did at Radio Iowa this week indicated that 90% of the Latino students in the high school at Postville were not there on Tuesday. Of course, the raid took place on Monday. And on Tuesday morning fully one-third of the students in kindergarten through eighth grade in Postville were not in attendance. So, those people have either been, you know, their family life has been disrupted by this raid or many of the folks who were living in town have decided to just vanish.
Beck: And there's a large church in Postville.
Henderson: A Catholic church which is providing haven to many of these folks. And as you mentioned another sub-plot to this evolving story is that the folks who run the plant who are Hasidic Jews have, in the past, made campaign donations mainly to Republicans but one key Democrat who received a campaign donation was Patty Judge who was running for Governor, she is now Iowa's Lieutenant Governor.
Beck: And so what do they believe those might have indicated?
Henderson: Well, it indicated that these people wished to become part of Iowa's political elite and perhaps influence legislators by making campaign contributions. That's why people give money. Money talks.
Beck: You mentioned the number of students missing now. This is a large part of Postville's population.
Henderson: And I heard State Senator Mark Zieman this week tell someone that he would describe his town, Postville, almost as a ghost town if it were not for all the media who have descended upon Postville to do stories.
Beck: So, clearly the workforce will be missed in the sense of who will do that work now?
Henderson: Well, and Agriprocessors, as I am led to understand it -- they, by the way, have not responded to any of our calls for comment at Radio Iowa -- as I understand it through other sources they have recently expanded the plant so they may find it difficult to find an adequate work source in that area to keep things processing at the rate at which they are processing and we should probably mention this is the nation's number one Kosher meat packing plant.
Beck: Alright, so they have provided a lot of product.

Staying focus during a challenging market is tough.
Homeownership is within reach of more households than it has been for more than two decades!
Restoring the health of the housing market and supporting homeownership in America will contribute to the economic recovery we so greatly need right now. Millions of homeowners have lost their home due to a hardship that was unavoidable, in voluntary and beyond their control over the last 5 years. Many of them may qualify for homeownership again today.
The waiting period for qualifying after a Short Sale is much less than a foreclosure or a bankruptcy. Attend our Webinar class and learn FHA, Conventional, VA and USDA loan qualifications after a short sale, bankruptcy, or a foreclosure, how to help the consumer restore their credit and structure a plan to help them purchase a home in the future.
The good news ... lenders make exceptions under certain circumstances...your community member may qualify sooner than you think!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Although the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), as the name suggests, is primarily a defensive army, our soldiers
place their lives at stake on a daily basis. Over time, almost every family has lost relatives in defense of the Promised Land.
Protection and preservation can come only from the Almighty but we can show our appreciation of the efforts
of our soldiers and reservists. Let us show our men and women in uniform that we stand behind them, in prayer AND in deed! In the coming weeks, we are planning to distribute Winter Packages for 'our children' - our soldiers! (The majority of IDF soldiers are young men and women just out of school.)
This Winter, our lovingly-prepared package contains the following items:
Give your gift today for a Soldiers Winter Package, and let the forces know that there are very special people who care, and appreciate their sacrifice and their duty.
There is something inside many Jewish teens in America that calls them to the land of Israel.
Everywhere you go in Israel… in the mall, on the bus or standing in line at the falafel shop, you'll see young people just out of high school, dressed in an army uniform.
Israeli soldiers admitted seven wounded Syrians into Israel, administering emergency medical treatment at the border and transporting the hurt to area hospitals. These brave men and women risk their lives to treat any wounded individuals, friend and foe alike. You can help Israel Today show them that we care and appreciate their contribution to the Land of Israel.

Ryan Cordell Lecture "Viral Texts and the Technologies of Authorship"
October 6,
Moulton Union, Lancaster Lounge
Ryan Cordell will draw on the Viral Texts project at Northeastern University (http://www.viraltexts.org) to demonstrate how computational methods such as text mining, mapping, and network analysis can illuminate nineteenth-century systems of circulation, reprinting, and remediation systemically and at scale. Dr. Cordell's project focuses on the viral culture that enlivened nineteenth-century periodical production, distribution, and consumption. Though the term "viral culture" is new, many of the practices it describes—especially the sharing, remixing, and repurposing of cultural materials—emerged long before the twenty-first century.
Ryan Cordell is Assistant Professor of English at Northeastern University and Core Founding Faculty Member in the NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks. His scholarship focuses on convergences among literary, periodical, and religious culture in antebellum American mass media.
This lecture is underwritten by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Helena Goscilo, "Seeing Red: Soviet Women in Graphic Form"
October 23,
Visual Arts Center, Beam Classroom
Helena Goscilo is Professor of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures at The Ohio State University. Her areas of expertise include Russian culture, esp. 20th and 21st century; visual culture, especially art, graphics, and film; film adaptation; gender; Russian folklore; the Russian novel; Bakhtin; Romanticism; representations of war; and Russian capitals (Petersburg and Moscow).
Lecture topic: The Soviet poster, which addressed the broad masses, was a genre ideally suited to the state's imperative of molding Soviet identity and everyday values while propagating the political ideology that fueled them. Goscilo examines the genre's convergence with official dicta in its assignment of gender roles, focusing primarily on the Soviet era. She takes into account the relationship between women's functions and achievements as urged or claimed by posters, on the one hand, and their everyday reality, on the other.
The Alfred E Golz Memorial Lecture: "Democracy at the Roots: Understanding Haiti's Political Culture" - Streamed LIVE
October 23,
Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
Laurent Dubois is the Marcello Lotti Professor of Romance Studies and History at Duke University. He is the author of several books on the history and culture of the French Caribbean and Atlantic World, including Avengers of the New World: The Story of the Haitian Revolution (2004), A Colony of Citizens: Revolution and Slave Emancipation in the French Caribbean, 1787-1804 (2004), and his latest work, Haiti: The Aftershocks of History (2012). He also has an interest in the relationship between sports and politics. In 2010 he published Soccer Empire: The World Cup and the Future of France. He is currently preparing a book manuscript on the history of the banjo, for which he has received several awards, including a Mellon New Directions Fellowship, and fellowships from the National Humanities Center and the Guggenheim Foundation. Professor Dubois also served as head historical consultant for a PBS documentary on the Haitian Revolution, which premiered in 2009.
Professor Dubois'�s upcoming Golz lecture, "Democracy at the Roots: Understanding Haiti's Political Culture," explores three intertwined legacies of the Haitian Revolution on political thought and practice in the country: the largely hostile reaction to it outside the country, the formation of new political institutions and structures, and -- most importantly -- the creation of a new set of cultural, social, and economic structures that Jean Casimir has called the "counter-plantation" system. He identifies both the main currents and critical counter-currents within each of these legacies, calling attention to the aspects of the latter legacies that seem to him to be the most valuable and worth comprehending and nourishing in constructing new Haitian futures.
This talk will also be live streamed on Bowdoin's Live Webcasts page.
Sujata Moorti: "Mothers, Inc.: The Racial Politics of Transnational Surrogacy"
October 28,
Searles Science Building, Room 315
Mothers, Inc.: The Racial Politics of Transnational Surrogacy
Sujata Moorti is Professor of Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies at Middlebury College. She has published extensively on media representations of gender, sexuality and diasporic formations. She is currently completing a manuscript on iFeminism where she teases out the ways in which social media are altering understandings of feminism around the world. In this manuscript she explores the transnational circuits of activism and knowledge production that social media technologies engender, altering our conceptions of gender and agency. She is completing two other monographs on gendered violence. She is the author of Color of Rape: Gender, Race and Democratic Public Spheres (SUNY Press, 2002) and has co-edited Global Bollywood: The Travels of Hindi Song and Dance (University of Minnesota Press, 2008) and Local Violence, Global Media: Feminist Analyses of Gendered Representations (Peter Lang, 2009). She teaches courses on feminist cultural studies, diasporic media studies, and postcolonial theory.
Prof. Moorti will examine the visual culture that has emerged around the transnational surrogacy industry located in India. Moving beyond the ethical and moral dilemmas posed by the phenomenon this presentation centers on the rich and dense media culture that has emerged around this phenomenon: reproscape. An analysis of these images helps us understand how the different women involved in the surrogacy industry (e.g., surrogates, agents, egg donors, prospective parents and doctors) are each differently located in discourses of citizenship and equally implicated in transnational labor circuits. Informed by critical race theories and postcolonial feminist scholarship the presentation unpacks the racial politics of this industry.
Sponsored by: Sociology and Anthropology, Asian Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, and the Lectures and Concerts General Fund.

An Artist Talk by Sharon Hayes: "The Women's Movement Is a Lesbian Plot!" and Other Anachronisms
October 30,
Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
Sharon Hayes is an artist who engages multiple mediums–video, performance, and installation–in an ongoing investigation into specific intersections between history, politics and speech. Her work is concerned with developing new representational strategies that examine and interrogate the present political moment as one that reaches simultaneously backward and forward; a present moment that is never wholly its own but rather one that is full of multiple past moments and the speculations of multiple futures. From this ground, Hayes often addresses political events or movements from the 1960s through the 1990s. Her focus on the particular sphere of the near-past is influenced by the potent imbrication of private and public urgencies that she experienced in her own foundational encounters with feminism and AIDS activism.
Sharon Hayes graduated from Bowdoin College in 1992 and is an Associate Professor at The Cooper Union in New York City. She has had recent solo exhibitions at Andrea Rosen Gallery (New
York), Tanya Leighton Gallery (Berlin), the Whitney Museum of American
Art (New York) and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
(Madrid). Her work been shown at the Gwangju Biennale (2014), Venice
Biennale (2013), the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Guggenheim
Museum (New York) and numerous museums and venues in Europe and the
Americas. Hayes is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014), the
Alpert Award in Visual Arts (2013), an Anonymous Was a Woman Award
(2013), Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Fellowship (2007) among other
Made possible with support from the Edit Lansing Koon Sills Lecture Fund of the Society of Bowdoin Women and the Departments of Theater and Dance, Visual Arts, Cinema Studies, Gay and Lesbian Studies, and Gender and Women's Studies Programs, and generous support from the Alice Cooper Morse Fund for the Performing Arts.
Open to the public and free of charge. A reception will follow the Thursday evening presentation.
'Nowhere to Call Home' : Film Screening with Filmmaker Jocelyn Ford
November 18,
Edwards Arts Center, Room 115 [Digital Media Lab]
Nowhere to Call Home: a Tibetan in Beijing provides a rare glimpse into the world of a widowed Tibetan farmer, torn between her traditional way of life and her desire for her son to have a better future in the city. Shot in the slums of Beijing and a remote village near the epicenter of Tibetan self-immolations, this gripping story of a woman determined to beat the odds puts a human face on the political strife that fractures China and Tibet.
Beijing-based award-winning radio correspondent and filmmaker Jocelyn Ford hosts this screening, along with the following panel discussion. Ford has been a journalist in Asia for three decades and has a passion for stories on under-represented social issues. For over a decade, she was bureau chief for U.S. public radio's premier national business show, Marketplace, first in Tokyo, later in Beijing. In Japan, as the first foreigner in the prime minister's press corps, she persistently challenged unspoken taboos. In 2001, Ford became the first foreigner to co-produce and co-host China Radio International's first live drive-time news show.
The screening will begin at 7:00pm.
This event is sponsored by the departments of Visual Art, Cinema Studies, and Gender and Women's Studies.
Reception: Book Launch Celebration with Jill Smith and Margaret Boyle
November 19,
Massachusetts Hall, Faculty Room
Join Jill S. Smith, associate professor of German, and Margaret Boyle, assistant professor of Romance Languages, as they celebrate the publication of their books Berlin Coquette: Prostitution and the New German Woman, 1890-1933 and Unruly Women: Performance, Penitence and Punishment in Early Modern Spain. Light refreshments will be served.
During the late nineteenth century the city of Berlin developed such a reputation for lawlessness and sexual licentiousness that it came to be known as the "Whore of Babylon." Out of this reputation for debauchery grew an unusually rich discourse around prostitution. In Berlin Coquette: Prostitution and the New German Woman, 1890-1933, Jill Smith shows how this discourse transcended the usual clichés about prostitutes and actually explored complex visions of alternative moralities or sexual countercultures. She highlights in particular the figure of the cocotte (Kokotte), a specific type of prostitute who capitalized on the illusion of respectable or upstanding womanhood and therefore confounded easy categorization. By exploring the semantic connections between the figure of the cocotte and the act of flirtation (of being coquette), Smith's work presents flirtation as a type of social interaction through which both prostitutes and non-prostitutes in Imperial and Weimar Berlin could express extramarital sexual desire and agency. Published in the series Signale: Modern German Letters, Cultures, and Thought (Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library).
Margaret E. Boyle explores the contradictory practices of rehabilitation enacted by women both on and off stage in Unruly Women: Performance, Penitence, and Punishment in Early Modern Spain, the first in-depth study of the interconnected relationships among public theatre, custodial institutions, and women in early modern Spain. Pairing historical narratives and archival records with canonical and non-canonical theatrical representations of women's deviance and rehabilitation, Unruly Women argues that women's performances of penitence and punishment should be considered a significant factor in early modern Spanish life. Boyle considers both real-life sites of rehabilitation for women in seventeenth-century Madrid--including a jail and a magdalen house--and women onstage, where she identifies three distinct representations of female deviance: the widow, the vixen, and the murderess. Unruly Women explores these archetypal figures to demonstrate the ways a variety of playwrights comment on women's non-normative relationships to the topics of marriage, sex, and violence.

Monday, December 02, 2013
In partnership with the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County and Meals on Wheels, Feed My People Food Bank will distribute emergency food boxes to 450 local seniors in need. Distribution of the boxes to volunteer drivers will occur on Tuesday, Dec. 10 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Feed My People with delivery to seniors occurring later in the week.Although food insecurity affects people of all ages, seniors are particularly vulnerable. Many have unique nutritional needs related to aging and/or medical conditions and often have limited income and out-of-pocket medical expenses. In addition many seniors are homebound making it difficult to receive help from food-assistance programs in our area. With widespread community support, Feed My People and Meals on Wheels of Eau Claire County are working to ensure that seniors in need are provided with nutritious food. Together, we can provide hope to seniors and families struggling with hunger.

Best Place to Buy Scrubs
- 0Jul 16, '08 by MBCVICURNWe have to have all white scrubs for our schools uniform and I was wondering if anyone knows of a place to purchase nice, but cheap scrubs. Since they have to be all white I want a nice fabric that you can't see through, that drives me crazy!
- 1Jul 16, '08 by ChristineNWal-Mart has fairly low priced scrubs (I think they are around $14). They have white and other colors as well as prints.
- 1Jul 16, '08 by tiggerdagibitI don't know how big your city is, but if it's small and doesn't have a scrubs shop I'd be willing to bet that a bigger city near you does. I personally like to try things on so I'd try to find an actual store. However, if you google medical scrubs, you'll come up with a TON of places to order them from. Along with the other brands mentioned, I like Cherokee too. Maybe try asking your school. I bet they could recommend somewhere to get them from.
- 1Jul 17, '08 by KarmaInMotioni went browsing the other day to test out different shoes at my two local scrub stores and they both had tons of racks full of sale and promotional sale items. they both had fitting rooms too. if you have anything local go in wearing your most seeable undies and have a go at it lol. i have also checked out that allheart.com place mentioned on here for other items as well. they carry near every brand/style i could imagine. also as mentioned, i've seen scrubs at my local walmarts for years. good luck on your quest!Last edit by KarmaInMotion on Jul 17, '08 : Reason: oopsie
- 2Jul 17, '08 by casiI'm a bigger girl so shopping in the scrub shops offer little variety for me. I hit up the scrub shops to figure out what styles and sizes I am for different brands, then I hit up marcusuniforms.com They are by far the most inexpensive place to order name brand scrubs that I've found.
- 2Jul 17, '08 by MaineEMT2RNwww.cheap-scrubs.com
They have pants with beaucoup pockets!
- 2Jul 17, '08 by rn/writer GuideTry this place. Good selection. Great sales. Decent prices.

(Updates with Finance Ministry's no comment in fifth paragraph.)
Sept. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Traders are overestimating the probability that Venezuela will default on its debt, Bank of America Corp. said.
While the credit default swaps market is pricing in about a 55 percent chance that South America's biggest oil producer will miss debt payments over the next five years, Bank of America analysts said crude prices above $80 a barrel are likely high enough to "sustain the inefficiencies caused by" President Hugo Chavez's policies.
Venezuela "is experiencing what may be the largest oil windfall in its history," Bank of America analysts Jane Brauer and Francisco Rodriguez wrote in a report. "When risk appetites return, Venezuela should be among the best, if not the best, performing assets" in emerging-market external debt, they wrote.
The cost to protect Venezuelan debt against non-payment for five years has risen more than 200 basis points, or 2 percentage points, in the past two months to 1,203 basis points, according to data provider CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent if a government or company fails to adhere to its debt agreements.
Chavez's drive to nationalize companies and his funneling of money to off-budget funds that have "virtually no mechanism of public accountability" are eroding confidence in the country, the analysts said. Still, they predict 2011 per capita oil revenue of $3,464, more than during the country's 1970s oil boom and a figure high enough to help ensure debt servicing.
A Finance Ministry official in Caracas declined to comment.

Problems with Server IP Address & Website
I have a problem with the following:
When I add Virtual IP Addresses, I get a 404 error page.
1 NIC (Eth0) = 192.168.2.2
4 Virtual IPs = 192.168.2.3 (till 192.168.2.6)
ISPC DNS for the website dev.domain.com points to 192.168.2.3
The Hostfile is also configured, to resolve 192.168.2.3 to dev.domain.com
I get a 404 error when I use the IP for this website.
When I use "All available" IPs "*" it works.
I need to fix this for using SSL cause right now SSL doesn't work on the websites and breaks Apache, when I enable it.
Don't know what I'm missing right now, I broke the webserver 4 times now and just want to solve this.
Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?

Health Zone: Diets through the decades; NUTRITION and diet advice is big business. Every day we are bombarded with images of "perfection" to aspire to. But this is by no means a recent fad. RACHEL MURPHY looks at the history of slimming.
OUR obsession with losing weight is not a modern phenomenon. It's one of the oldest rituals known to woman.
The word diet comes from the Greek word "diaita", meaning way of life - and that's what slimming has been to women all over the world for centuries.
Food writer Margaritte Patten says: "We have been slaves to diets throughout history.
"Desired shapes and sizes have changed with fashion, but women have always been weight conscious. It has never been a period when it has been in vogue to be too fat."
Early dieting was based on trial, error and folklore. Elizabethan ladies believed fennel and Indian rhubarb kept them thin by acting as laxatives.
Victorian ladies tightened their corsets to make them look thinner while the pressure on the stomach and ribcage suppressed their appetites - often making them faint. As a last resort, some ate tapeworms.
The concept of calories was explained by German physicist Julius Robert von Mayer in 1842. But it wasn't until the end of the 19th Century that foods were classified into carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Vitamins weren't identified until early in the 20th century.
Doctors and scientists began to take diet and nutrition seriously and by the 1920s the cult of slimming was established.
The desire to be slim was fuelled by Hollywood images of film goddesses such as Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich, who ate less because the big screen added pounds to their frame. Bread and potatoes were seen as "stodge" and were the first to go.
This form of dieting was called "banting" after an American doctor who advocated it.
"People were crazy about everything American", says food historian Colin Spencer. "It was fashionable to follow the American lead and eat raw vegetables and salads.
"British people started eating grapefruit for breakfast. It helped women achieve the figure of the day - flat chests and no bottom."
Anorexia existed as far back as the 1920s. Flapper girls cultivated stick-thin arms and skinny bodies to show off their Charleston dresses.
Drug-taking was also a common way to lose weight among upper classes, and doctors would prescribe amphetamine-based drugs to speed up metabolisms. Cigarettes were shamelessly advertised as appetite suppressants.
Meanwhile, a bizarre collection of mechanical devices were in vogue. Women were clamped into a ring of huge metal rollers believing their fat could be rolled away.
Margaritte Patten says: "There was no serious dietary layout, and the trend towards eating fruit confused people.
"In the late 1930s there was a fashion for eating oranges, but some believed that as long as you ate oranges you could eat whatever else you liked and still lose weight."
During the Second World War, losing weight was very low on the public agenda. And most women worked harder and ate less due to rationing.
So in the 1950s people made up for lost time. It became the only period in the century when it was fashionable to be plump.
Marilyn Monroe, right, was the living proof, but millions of women became overweight. By 1957 curves were history again. Christian Dior launched his new range of "wasp waist" dresses with voluminous skirts that required a 22in waist.
Almost overnight the dieting industry boomed again, and has stayed that way ever since.
Here's a look at its highs and lows. We've awarded marks out of 10 for staying power.
The banana diet: When rationing ended, bananas became popular. The banana diet was a strict low-calorie diet that included a lot of salad. The bananas filled you up and reduced sugar cravings.
The oil diet: This faddy, word-of-mouth diet claimed that drinking a "miracle mixture" of sunflower and olive oil before a meal would metabolise food better. It just made dieters ill.
RDX pills: RDX "full-stomach" pills were made of starchy carbohydrates and fibre which expanded when you drank water. Their motto was "the fat just melts away". Of course it didn't.
Food combining: Diets based on separating proteins and carbs became popular during the 50s. Eaten together, protein and starch were said to take 13 hours to digest. This theory was put forward by William Hay in the 19th century. 7/10
Meal replacements: Metrecal, a complete, nutritionally-balanced milkshake meal in a can, was imported from the US. 8/10
Food writer Margaritte Patten says: "It was post-war, women would try anything and there was little understanding of basic nutrition. The Hay diet has been much criticised but it works for many as it's been updated ever since."
Amphetamines: It was common to take amphetamine-based slimming pills to speed up metabolism. Some were low-dosage and legally prescribed. Others, sold on the black market, made women buzz so much they led to nervous disorders.
The bread and butter diet: This short-lived fad involved living on calorie-controlled quantities of bread and butter and nothing else. It was often misunderstood. People thought you could eat unlimited quantities.
Ayds slimming tablets: Chewy, carbohydrate and fibre-loaded pills were used by dieters as they filled you up. But the awful taste made you crave sweet food.
Slimming aids: Widely advertised in magazines and newspapers. The Daily Mirror carried ads for the artificial sweetener Saxin and the meal replacement drink Biskca. Plenty of modern versions are around today. 6/10
Weight Watchers: The slimming club arrived in the UK from America in 1967. By 1970 half a million Britons had joined up. 9/10
Margaritte Patten says: "The 1960s was an era of experimentation. Every woman wanted to be like the androgynous Twiggy and was willing to try any products that would help. The slimming aids that were around then were the forerunners of many products still available today."
Chocolate Sego diet pudding: This 250 calorie meal replacement pudding arrived from the US with the slogan "If you've got a spoon, have we got a diet for you." The meal replacement idea is still big business, but dieters soon realised you didn't need to buy a special pudding.
Digestion theories: Members of Weight Watchers believed green beans would take longer to digest if they were sliced lengthways instead of across. Eating tomatoes was banned in the morning, as it was thought an enzyme in tomatoes slowed down your metabolism. These were just myths.
The Beverley Hills Diet: This advocated eating a portion of pineapple before every meal to break down the fat. But even though the theory was disproved, the diet is followed today because it advocates a low calorie diet. 2/10
Margaritte Patten says: "In the 1970s, knowledge of basic nutrition was still limited, so there was a tendency to believe there might be some miracle formula out there. As in every decade, the only people who really lost weight were the ones who reduced their calorie intake. The pineapple diet worked for some, but probably more by luck than judgment."
The grapefruit diet: A low calorie eating plan that encouraged you to eat grapefruit for breakfast and as a snack during the day to suppress appetite. Women reported eating dozens of grapefruit a day and some said their mouths burned from all the citric acid.
The egg diet: Dieters ate up to 18 eggs a day believing they would fill them up, boost metabolism and help shed pounds. Some became constipated.
The champagne diet: Yuppie slimmers could "diet" on champagne and caviar as long as they counted the calories. It was supposedly "slimming without tears" - if the cost didn't make them cry. 3/10
The 'F' plan diet: This high-fibre diet focused on making the body work better rather than calories. Still a top seller, linked to preventing bowel cancer. 10/10
The Rosemary Conley Hip and Thigh Diet: A "sensible" diet which advocated following low calorie menus and exercise routines. Still very popular. 8/10
Slimfast: Replacing two meals a day with a nutritious milkshake is still a best-selling diet formula. 9/10
Margaritte Patten says: "These diets really do have staying power. With the help of the F Plan we worked out that fibre was good, not bad, and eating fewer calories was the only certain way to shed the pounds."
The Cabbage Soup Diet: Although invented in the 80s, the Cabbage Soup Diet was popularised by Joanna Lumley a decade later. It is based on eating cabbage soup and low fat, high-fibre foods. It gives rapid, short-term weight loss as well as a detox.
The Vitaline diet: You can eat every 15 minutes, provided it is healthy. Vitaline was slammed for pandering to bad habits.
The Cambridge Diet: This meal replacement diet from the US includes high-protein, low-fat soups, meal bars and shakes. A consultant will provide productsa nd keep tabs on your progress. 8/10
The Atkins Diet: This high-protein diet is popular with stars including Jennifer Aniston and Geri Halliwell, right. Very low in carbohydrates, it involves eating meals full of lean meat and fish and cutting out bread and potatoes. Critics claim the "unbalanced" diet stops food digesting properly and gives you bad breath, acne and constipation. 5/10
Margaritte Patten says: "We decided fat was the big baddie, not carbohydrate. The Atkins diet seems to work, despite the side effects."
Jenni Rivett's Jenergy plan: This concentrates on keeping the metabolism working well with muscle and strength training, plus healthy eating to lose weight. It teaches you to eat regularly, choose foods that increase your metabolic rate and avoid saturated fats and sugars. There are no specific recipes to follow - it is all about educating you for life. 9/10
The Zone Diet: This focuses on balancing protein, carbohydrate and fat intake. It also educates you on how certain foods affect hormonal balance. For $40 a day Americans can have three zone meals and two snacks delivered to their door. Madonna and Demi Moore have both used it. 7/10
Slimming supplements: Fat magnets, fat metabolisers, herbal diet pills and stick-on patches to control cravings have all become popular. They claim to suck fat out of food, speed up the metabolism with so-called "thermogenic" herbs and overwhelm our senses with sweet smells that put us off eating. Despite a few clinical trials that seemed to prove their worth, dieticians say they only really work when combined with a low-calorie eating plan plus exercise. 2/10
Margaritte Patten says: "We are better educated than ever before about dieting and people don't tend to fall for false promises any more. Exercise has become an intrinsic part of keeping slim these days. Regimes that encourage exercise as well as reducing calorie intake are likely to be the ones with staying power."

If you're looking for a flavorful tomato soup, this is a very good recipe. For those who prefer not to be overwhelmed by chilies, I recommend using half the chipotle that is recommended.
Easy to make and very tasty. I've made this several times for guests and always receive raves. Especially good with yellow tomatoes, although I have mixed some red tomatoes in when short on yellow with success.

Tiger Bay fishes for economic ideas
Date: May 8, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Representatives from area chambers of commerce and visitors bureaus gathered at the Sarasota Tiger Bay Club May 7 to discuss how to stimulate the local economy.
Fielding questions were Steve Queior, president of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce; Virginia Haley, president of the Sarasota Convention and Visitors Bureau; John Ryan, president of the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce; and Beth Mayberry, member of the North Port Area Chamber of Commerce.
Guest moderator C.J. Fishman, of Fishman and Associates, asked the panel how to diversify the county's economy.
Queior said one of the best ways would be to create more meeting space, such as a conference center.
"(Conference center) guests spend $176 a day," he said. "But the business travelers come back and stay longer and spend more money."
Haley and Mayberry both said more higher-education choices would help.
"The university system is a tremendous driver of the economy and tourism," said Haley.
Ryan agreed that young people are the key.
"If we can't keep youth here, we have no future," he said.
