Original building — 1854Architect: Edward C. Jones
Wofford's first students took their admission exams in Latin. During their first years, they studied the works of Caesar, Cicero and Zenophon before progressing to chemistry, moral and natural philosophy, geology and political economy. The goal was to instill moral values and a familiarity with the intellectual world of the mid 19th century. Students were expected to attend daily chapel services.
First major renovation — 1902
By the renovation of 1902, Wofford professors were replacing oral examinations with written. The college added a Bachelor of Science degree and began substituting modern languages for classical languages. In addition to emphasizing English language and literature, the college began requiring science courses.
Second major renovation — 1961
By the late 1950s, Old Main needed a major stabilization and revitalization. While the exterior work was faithful to the classical design of Edward C. Jones, the classrooms were radically altered. The auditorium was expanded to hold a larger student body, and a new north-side portico was added. Although the college experienced a more "cold-war" culture, it still focused on the liberal arts and the development of character. The 1960s saw professors place more emphasis on writing and cultural programs as well as mathematics, science and history.
Third major renovation — 2006
The most recent renovation has taken about eight years and has been done in several phases. More of a transformation, Old Main now has cutting edge technology and handicap accessibility as well both beauty and functionality. As has been the case since the construction of the building in 1854, every Wofford student still spends hours within Old Main's walls in classes, convocations, study sessions with friends and discussions with faculty mentors.

Bad Boy Mowers is on the road this week at The Grand American, World Trapshooting Championship being held at the World Shooting and Recreation Complex in Sparta, IL. The Grand American is one of the largest shooting sporting events in the world and we are proud to support this long running sporting event that began in 1893. Good luck to all the competitors!
Grand American Trapshooting Championships Aug. 5-15 in Illionis
From the Illinois Department of Natural Resources
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources will welcome competitors the fourth consecutive year to the Amateur Trapshooting Association (ATA) Grand American Trapshooting Championship to the World Shooting and Recreational Complex (WSRC) in Sparta.
The Grand American is Aug. 5-15 at the 1,600-acre WSRC, home to the event since 2006.
More than 7,000 shooters and 100,000 spectators and visitors are expected to attend the 11-day event in southwestern Illinois.
"The Grand American is one of the world's great shooting sports events and we are excited to again welcome tens of thousands of shooters and visitors from throughout the country and around the world to the Land of Lincoln," said IDNR Director Marc Miller. "The World Shooting and Recreational Complex is the ideal venue for the Grand American, and the hospitality of the citizens, businesses, and local officials in Sparta and throughout the region is second to none."
The WSRC features 120 trap fields spanning three-and-a-half miles; 1,000 campsites; ample parking; a full-service events center and vendor mall featuring 80 exhibitors; and, on-site food service from southern Illinois' famed 17th Street Bar and Grill. In addition to the trap shooting facilities, the WSRC skeet, sporting clays, archery, and cowboy action shooting sports facilities host events and open shooting opportunities year round.
"The WSRC has become the premier destination for shooting sports enthusiasts of all ages, and we are excited to work with the ATA on encouraging greater interest among young people – girls and boys – in the shooting sports," Miller added.
The Grand American is one of the nation's oldest sporting events, begun in 1893. The first Grand American using clay targets was held in 1900. In addition to a full schedule of trap shooting competition, the ATA has scheduled nightly entertainment at the complex.

Panasonic Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker {giveaway}
When I got married almost 18 years ago , I had a rice cooker on my registry. Some nice wedding guest of mine obliged and bought me the rice cooker, and it was one of those kitchen appliances that I actually used quite often. It was so easy to just throw rice in the rice cooker and make a simple stir fry to serve with it. I used it and used it and used it until it went kaput on me eventually and was thrown away. Fast forward many years later… I have never replaced my rice cooker! Panasonic contacted me recently to see if I'd like to try their rice cooker, so I figured it was time for me to say yes and return to rice cooking! This rice cooker is about the size of a large toaster, so you've got to make sure you have room for it. And apparently, rice cookers aren't just for cooking rice anymore! This one has settings for steaming, white rice, brown rice and soup. And there are actually a few cookbooks out there- sharing recipes for meals that utilize the rice cooker as a slow-cooking appliance. How cool is that? I have yet to try making a whole meal in the rice cooker, but it does make great rice, and cleanup is easy too.
Would you like a rice cooker of your own? Enter the giveaway using the widget below. If you don't see the widget yet, be patient because it might take a minute to load (especially with Internet Explorer 9). Or you can click below to see the entry form too. If you have any questions, you can contact me (see "contact" at the top of the site). Good Luck! This giveaway has ended. The lucky winner was Anne H. Thanks to all for entering!
Disclosure: Panasonic sent me a rice cooker to review, and they're providing another one for this giveaway. This is not a compensated post, and all opinions shared are my own. Giveaway details are included on the widget. Giveaway is open to USA and Canada. Giveaway ends Monday, March 25th. Amazon affiliate links are included within this post.

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada released the following statement on the news that the State of Nevada placed a stay on the cease and desist order on the Department of Energy (DOE). This decision allows the DOE to continue stealing water from Nevada's limited supplies in order to develop the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.
"I'm incredibly disappointed. This is the biggest gift the DOE has received since I've been in Washington and I am shocked that it was delivered by the administration of a former Nevada Congressman. The letter from the State's Division of Water Resources to the DOE lays out every reason the DOE should cease and desist. Yet, at the same time, the State gave the DOE the green light to move forward on this project, while the entire Nevada congressional delegation continues to fight to prevent Nevada from becoming the nation's nuclear dumping ground. I assure the people of Nevada that I will continue to leverage my position as the Senate Majority Leader to prevent this dump from ever becoming a reality."

I am glad you are helping to revive this forum. I didn't mean to come in here like a bulldozer, but I was so disappointed when I saw the thread about doing away with the forum, when I had just found it. Boy, is it tucked away in an unexpected place - "the chaotic home site?" or whatever - maybe that is the problem.
I would like to know what all of you did in your other life that you are now enjoying being away from, or are you? I'll go first. Private duty nurse, ortho nurse, evening hospital supervisor. Inactive RN to raise two DDs - we both felt it was important for me to be a stay at home mom. But honestly, I did resent having to give up my career to do so, tho don't think the girls ever knew that.
As you can see, I am not real good at retirement. I like to be busy and I actually enjoy working. Deadlines - to be honest - I'm not wild about, but it is what it takes sometimes for me to complete a project.

Hey, guys/gals - it's a whole big world out there. Lots of interesting stuff to see, do and learn. Some community/charity work can keep you active - and make your community a happier place in which to live. I just came from senior men's coffee hour at church I attended as a child (sang with sopranos in choir, before my voice changed). Moved far away, wasn't there again much for 50 years. They've changed name to "ROMEOs" - Retired Old Men Eating Out", they call it. I say that it should be "ROMDOs" - "Retired Old Men Drinking Out" - but that moniker didn't seem too popular: they said that usually we have some cookies, muffins, etc. along with the coffee. I figure it's really the "Old Farts' Club". Anyway - I hope you're all enjoying your week. ole joyful (who seems to have authoured too many threads on this forum |

Well, pilgrim you have stumped me. I love to take forum names apart and give the members my own pet name for them, but I don't want to call you pil and I don't want to call you grim or ill or rim. Maybe I'll call you 555. It sounds full of mystery and intrigue, not unlike 007. Remember him? 555, sounds to me like it's time to make some short term fun goals. Work is definitely not what it is ALL about, but it is good. ful, We joked about my nickname for you, but honestly, it does describe you in many other ways too. How great it is that you are full of joy and can laugh at yourself and enjoy the other "old farts." It is wonderful that you have things you want to see, do and learn. Please keep posting lots and tell us about those things. Remember, you have a new audience now. You can even repeat for my benefit. Are you doing community/charity work to make your community a happier place in which to live? I used to do scads, but now pretty much limit it to the church. |

Use the free market to fight against GMO products! (Updated)
Submitted by fonzdrew on Thu, 11/08/2012 - 03:44There is an app that you can use to help you find products that are non-GMO, at NonGMOProject.org. I am sure that many here have already heard about it and probably already use it, but I thought it was appropriate to post here now, especially considering Prop 37 in California failed.
In addition to mentioning the app, which is called the "Non-GMO Project," I will list below some products that I found that were Non-GMO. Lets focus on puchasing these items, fighting Monsanto and putting them out of business.
SPREAD THE WORD! The list below are also shown in the app "Non-GMO Project." If others want to list Non-GMO products that aren't listed, please do so , so we can all know what to shop for.
1) Amy's Kitchen
2) Annie's
3) Arrowhead Mills
4) Alter Eco
5) Attune Foods
6) Barney Butter
7) Blue Diamond
8) Brad's Leafy Kale, Raw Chips, and Raw Crackers
9) Cape Cod Select
10) Central Market Organics
11) Choice Organic Teas
12) Country Choice Organic
13) Dave's Gourmet
14) Eden
15) Farmer's Market
For a MUCH larger list of Non-GMO products, visit http://www.nongmoproject.org/
Call every grocery store around you and tell them to sale products form this list, and go into the grocery stores (Kroger, Albertson's and Target)and purchase what Non-GMO products that they do have. Show them these products can and will sale for them. My friends, family and I have all started doing this months ago, and my local Ralph's has started purchasing more of these items. Make a difference!

Important to advocate the free market way
I support the Non-GMO Project idea. By creating the non-GMO brand, the project empowers consumers without unnecessarily burdening fixed-income households or the elderly with price increases that regulation costs tend to lead. Also, the replacing of a Monsanto-led FDA with a California-based bureaucracy only shifts accountability temporarily from one government body to another; who's to say this new font of power would not entice Monsanto to infiltrate and create favorable treatment for itself somehow through California regulators?
Indeed, evidence of success can be found: rBST milk has been quarantined by the education and promotion of companies that benefit from offering non-rBST products like Vermont's finest Ben and Jerry. Empower the consumers but don't compel their suppliers!
My fear is that the Non-GMO project website does favor government mandates in regards to GMO labeling; if another Prop 37 were to achieve critical mass, the effort to use market pressure for change in behavior would be abandoned in favor for government managed compliance. There is a better way!

The problem is, Monsanto gets laws passed
to protect their interests. There plan is to keep any reference to GMO's off labels voluntary or involuntary. This way the GMO's can be called organic, since the FDA says they see no difference.
There is also a revolving door from Monsanto's Board of directors and their lawyer firm to the FDA and EPA. EPA and FDA are just puppets for Monsanto and big Agribusiness.
The EPA has known for years that GMO crops were deadly to Honeybees in the way they are presently grown.
They just figure when the problem gets bad enough they will be able to fix it with their Frankenstein style way of doing business.
But I would ask you if my gene Manipulated bees don't die anymore from the pesticides in the nectar and pollen would you eat it?
This is natures way of protecting us, the bees die off and polluted honey is not passed on to us humans.
Monsanto To the rescue with different ways to get their poison on your plate, and increase their profits. I am sure I would pay royalties to Monsanto or be sued out of business if I didn't comply.

Good, Next step, call these companies and thank them
for not using GMO's in their food and letting you know this by using the non-GMO project label. Then call/email other foods that do not have the non-GMO project label and ask if they use GMOs. If they say no, ask them to start to use this label so you can know for sure. If they say yes (highly unlikely) or more likely they don't know, tell them you will not be buying their product untill they can verify it.

A good way to counter GMO is to strenghten demand for organic. If GMO is truly inferior, then the market will crush it.

Now this is a good approach without government!!
I'm happy to see that people are proposing ways to make their choices without having to use the government to help them out. There is nothing worse than calling on the devil for help; ideally the government wouldn't be the devil but that is what it is to me now days. The idea of proposition 37 which would use government force to control markets is completely wrong and no liberty minded individual should be promoting such an activity. Remember that no one is forcing you to purchase GMO products, it is your choice and your choice only. There are already laws that forbid false advertisement, so if a company adds Organic to their label, I think (not positive) that it includes the meaning of being non-GMO.
Another great market solution to this problem, and anyone feel free to start this company up, would be to have an independent company test or verify that foods are non-GMO. If this company is ever incorrect, it will tarnish their image and open up the market for other companies. So this would keep the influence of companies such as Monsanto from putting pressure on them. Something to think about.

Buy Shamrock Farms!
They put on the side of their milk cartons: "We pledge not to treat our cows with the growth hormone rBST. They were required by the government to attach the a label that states: " *No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST-treated and Non-rBST treated cows." Such a load of lies are government puts out there. Thanks Walmart and Monsanto for lobbying are corrupt politicians, you crooks! We need to work hard to get these laws repealed.

The solution is amazingly
The solution is amazingly simple. Vote with your dollars. The more often we seek free market solutions, the more often the market will cater to us. There never was a ban on HFCS before they had to resort to re-branding it as Corn Sugar in an effort to save the poison. It was public awareness and people seeking other products. The more people seek to avoid GMO and simply buy non-gmo, the more the market will cater to us.

How is it simple when you
How is it simple when you don't know what foods are GMO and what are not? Its damn tough to find out what is GMO or not and only buying known non GMO limits your options quite severely because there are just not that many who go to the trouble to make sure the seed they are planting is non-GMO so they can label their product as such..
Its anything but simple...

The Good News
Free market is stepping into the breach.
The vote showed sellers that consumers want non-GMO.
Free speech won.
The thing to watch out for: another ballot measure, this time written by producers in other states, written to allow a certain percentage of ingredients to be GMO, and still claim non-GMO. That's the real danger of government participation in food.
We don't want the folks who raided the raw milk farms to be in charge of our labels.
What do you think? http://consequeries.com/

The words are already on the label. The only thing is they are lies we want the words to tell the truth. We want to know when we are eating korn instead of corn. We want to know if we're eating peanuts if we are allergic to peanuts.
The whole idea of putting the ingredients on something we buy is so that we know what's in it. There's nothing different here, GMO Korn is not corn.
We don't need a silly app to be running around scanning everything we need labels that aren't lying!

This this this!
So many times, this!
Prop 37 was the wrong way to go about informing the public about GMO. The non-GMO project is a (dare I say it... organic?) market solution to a government interference problem. If you care about GMO in your food, get on board this project and tell everyone.
Businesses will listen to consumer demand if it's loud enough, no lengthy legal battles or law changes required.

When Monsanto can sue farmers for IP rights
there is no free market only the illusion of it! Whose right is it to grow what ever you choose on your own land? According to Monsanto if you can't build a fence good enough to keep their wind blown pollen out of your crops, you should be farming.
Farmers have to either join Monsanto or get out of business! Watch this documentary "the World According To Monsanto" then tell me there is a free market!

No Austrain economics so no free market
The federal government wants to prop up every business whether they need it or not.
IP Rights for Monsanto = Fascist company
why is it they need a patent on life anyway? this has led to these Fascist seed companies raiding the seed banks, stealing samples to patent them before any one else does it. So now they own the IP rights on all seeds throughout the world.
Monsanto even tried to patent the pig! If this was allowed every farmer would have to pay money to Monsanto whether they used their help or not.

30 November 2011
One of Britain's most distinguished lawyers, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, has delivered the University's annual Hadyn Ellis Distinguished Lecture.
The eminent writer, broadcaster and commentator gave a thought-provoking and impassioned speech to a gathered audience of more than 400 people, in which she examined the impact of globalisation on the values that underpin developed democracies and the ways in which social justice, human rights, law, politics and private life have been affected.
Entitled 'Globalisation and the Crisis of the Individual', and sponsored by Civitas Law and Thompsons Solicitors, Helena drew on her own professional life, which has been spent giving voice to those who have least power within the system, championing civil liberties and promoting human rights.
Theo Huckle QC, Barrister at Civitas Law, said: "In a thrilling and carefully argued speech, Baroness Kennedy QC issued a call to arms to right-thinking citizens - lawyers or not - to stand up and be counted in support of the rights of the vulnerable, impoverished, accused and injured, currently so much under attack, both around the globe and also, tellingly, at home in the UK, and to reassert the values of real democracy in our nation state against the forces of globalised money and crime."
Emma Waddingham, business development director, Civitas Law, added: "The annual Hadyn Ellis lectures and the inspirational people who are invited to speak in his memory, leave a valuable legacy, as well as the ability for Cardiff University to reach out to the wider community and its supporters."
Ian Bounds, Client Manager for Thompsons Solicitors said: "At a time of attacks on the vulnerable unprecedented in recent political times the rallying call from Baroness Kennedy is as timely as it is prescient. The most vulnerable of our injured clients face an erosion in the support that we can give them due to government proposed reforms to civil justice that will make the hardest cases financially unviable. Thompsons is pleased to have had the chance to be involved with this year's Haydn Ellis Distinguished Lecture from Baroness Kennedy."
The Hadyn Ellis Distinguished Lecture Series was established in 2008 by the Vice-Chancellor, Dr David Grant, to honour the memory of the former Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University Professor Hadyn Ellis CBE DSc (1945-2006). It brings eminent speakers to the University to speak on topical issues regarding intellectual challenges facing the world's people and nations in the twenty-first century.
It has become one of the most high profile events in the University's calendar. Baroness Helena Kennedy's lecture was the fourth in the series, following Mary Robinson, former Irish President, in 2008 and Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director of Forum for the Future, in 2009, and Sir Ranulph Fiennes in 2010.

Wise County Historical Society and Bookstore is located in Room 250 of the Courthouse
Wise County Historical Society was established in August of 1992 as a result of a small group of 14 individuals meeting 1991 in the cafeteria of the Wise Appalachian Regional Hospital in Wise to discuss the possibility of publishing a book on our county and city heritage. From that time on monthly meetings were held which resulted in organizing the Historical Society in 1992 with 61 charter members. Today we have over a thousand members from across America. The first publication was The Heritage of Wise County and The City of Norton-Volume 1.
Come in and browse the bookstore and archives or just visit.

Brookwood School is delighted and extremely excited to officially announce that Connie Clineman will return to direct our school-wide musical production next February!
Now that you know who will direct our children, I am sure your next question is "What will the production be?"
In the wake of this year's events, the only logical choice would be "The Wizard of Oz."
In 1996 the school musical was opened to the entire school rather than just the Middle and Upper School students. In 1997 the Drama Guild presented "The Wizard of Oz." For many people only "Peter Pan" and "Beauty and the Beast" can rival the magic and excitement that "The Wizard of Oz" produced among Brookwood productions. Auditions will be held on September 12, 2009, and performances will be held on February 5, 6 and 7.
Please consider following the Yellow Brick Road on a magical trip through the Land of Oz with Dorothy. Dorothy's house is swept up by a tornado and deposited in the Land of Oz filled with magical creatures like the munchkins, flying monkeys, wicked witches, a good witch and many other characters. Dorothy makes friends with a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a Cowardly Lion who take her to the Emerald City to see the Wonderful Wizard of Oz in hopes that he can tell her how to get home. The four friends have many adventures before Dorothy learns in the end that there is "no place like home."
Please join us in welcoming home Connie and Ken Clineman and their many amazing talents.
Mike Notaro, Headmaster

The Strong Economy for All Coalition fights for fair taxes and fair budgets, more jobs and better wages, investments in education and higher education for our future, a strong safety net and public financing of elections.
We led the successful effort to pass the Millionaires Tax in New York in 2011. Now we're working on a roadmap that takes our state away from austerity towards prosperity and a stronger economy that works for all of us.
New York is now #1 in the nation for income inequality. We need to go in a different direction. At a time when millionaires and billionaires are making more than ever, we should move towards fair tax and budget policies that invest in education and higher education, create jobs, raise wages and strengthen the safety net. And we should reform our campaign finance laws so elected officials work for regular people, not for their corporate sponsors.
We are made up of some of New York's most engaged and effective unions and community organizations
1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East
We are a Union of healthcare workers. We work in the homecare, hospital and nursing home industries, as well as pharmacies, freestanding clinics and other healthcare settings. We care for the sick, the infirm, the elderly. Ours is noble work. We are dedicated to our patients, our members and our families.
The mission of our Union is to improve and expand quality patient care, to protect and improve the lives of our members and our families, and to work in solidarity with working people in our communities and around the world.
In 1998, we affiliated to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) which is, with 1.8 million healthcare and building service workers and public employees, the largest labor Union in North America.
Since that time, some 15 SEIU healthcare Locals throughout New York State, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Massachusetts have merged with 1199 and today are part of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East.
Coalition for the Homeless
Coalition for the Homeless is the nation's oldest advocacy and direct service organization helping homeless men, women, and children. We are dedicated to the principle that affordable housing, sufficient food, and the chance to work for a living wage are fundamental rights in a civilized society. Since our inception in 1981, the Coalition has worked through litigation, public education, and direct services to ensure that these goals are realized.
UFT United Federation of Teachers
The UFT represents approximately 200,000 members and is the sole bargaining agent for most of the non-supervisory educators who work in the New York City public schools. We represent approximately 87,000 teachers and 19,000 classroom paraprofessionals, along with school secretaries, attendance teachers, guidance counselors, psychologists, social workers, adult education teachers, administrative law judges, nurses, laboratory technicians, speech therapists, and 53,000 retired members. We also represent teachers and other employees of a number of and private educational institutions and some charter schools.
The allied Federation of Nurses/UFT represents some 2,800 registered nurses of the New York City Visiting Nurse Service and several private New York City hospitals and health care institutions.
Over 28,000 New York City family child care providers became the UFT's newest members after a successful organizing drive that gained collective-bargaining rights in 2007. Their first contract was ratified in 2010.
Citizen Action
Citizen Action of New York is a statewide grassroots membership organization that works for economic, racial and social justice. Our power comes from the grassroots: people coming together to push the edge of the possible. We take on big issues that are at the center of transforming American society – issues like: quality education for all our kids; guaranteed quality, affordable health care; voter-owned elections with public financing; a more progressive tax system. We also work to elect progressive candidates to office who are committed to these issues.
Citizen Action of New York has eight chapters and affiliates across New York State. Each is a vibrant local organization with local leadership, paid professional organizing staff, a local agenda and an active, diverse membership. Citizen Action is also the New York State affiliate of USAction, which brings together citizen organizations from around the country to form a strong national progressive voice.
Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union
The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, UFCW, CLC, represents workers throughout much of the United States and Canada. RWDSU members work in a wide variety of occupations that range from food processing to retail to manufacturing to service and health care.
Poultry workers in the south, supermarket workers in Canada and New York, retail workers in the northeast, candy, juice, cereal and dairy workers in the Mid West, soft drink bottlers in New England, and government employees in New Jersey are among the many workers who have a strong voice on the job through the RWDSU.
Diversity is one of the strengths of our union. Members of the RWDSU may work in many different industries. We may come from different countries and speak different languages. But what unites us is the belief that by standing together we can better advance our interests and protect our rights as working people.
NYSUT New York State United Teachers
NYSUT is more than 600,000 people who work in, or are retired from, New York's schools, colleges, and healthcare facilities. We are classroom teachers, college and university faculty and professional staff, school bus drivers, custodians, secretaries, cafeteria workers, teacher assistants and aides, nurses and healthcare technicians.
NYSUT is a federation of more than 1,200 local unions, each representing its own members. We are affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the National Education Association (NEA). We are also part of organized labor – the AFL-CIO – and of Education International, with more than 20 million members world wide.
We range in size from tiny locals of fewer than 10 members to the United Federation of Teachers, which represents more than 140,000 teachers and other school employees in New York City.
We are dedicated to improving not only our working conditions, but also our professions. We're united in a common commitment to improve the quality of education and healthcare for the people of New York.
Professional Staff Congress of the City University of New York
The Professional Staff Congress is the union that represents more than 20,000 faculty and staff at the City University of New York (CUNY). It is dedicated to advancing the professional lives of its members, enhancing their terms and conditions of employment, and maintaining the strength of the nation's largest, oldest and most visible urban public university.
In the past decade, unions have become increasingly critical to professional workers and higher education as pressure builds to corporatize the university and allow market forces rather than professional judgment to determine academic policy. With its long history and strong affiliations, the PSC is a forceful advocate for the professional conditions that allow its members to offer a serious education to all New Yorkers.
The union negotiates, administers and enforces collective bargaining agreements; protects the rights of staff through the grievance and arbitration process; engages in political activity on behalf of CUNY and its staff and students; and advocates for the interests of the instructional staff in its various forums. It also provides benefits and services to its members through such related organizations as the PSC/CUNY Welfare fund and New York State United Teachers (NYSUT).
Alliance for Quality Education
Founded only in 2000, the Alliance for Quality Education (AQE) has quickly become New York state's leading community-based organization in the fight for high quality public education. A statewide non-profit, AQE unites a coalition of over 230 organizations of parents, children's advocates, schools, teachers, clergy, and others.
AQE believes it will take fair funding and smarter spending to support better schools and give every child in New York State a quality education from pre-K to high school graduation. Truly statewide, AQE has active community-based education coalitions in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, the Capital District (Albany), New York City and Long Island.
Working with all stakeholders, but emphasizing the involvement of parents and youth, AQE combines leadership development, community organizing, electronic activism, extensive media relations, policy work, and lobbying within a cohesive campaign for fundamental education reform. This recipe has successfully made adequate funding to create quality schools for every child a high profile issue throughout the state.
New York State AFL-CIO
The New York State AFL-CIO has a rich and proud history, which is deeply embedded in labor's continuous struggle for dignity and economic and social justice.
New York State has always been the largest and strongest of any state labor movement and, with its current 2.3 million members, remains so today. Victories won by the labor movement in New York State were the first of their kind in the nation and often became models for federal legislation as well as for other states.
From the very beginning, organized labor, acting through the state federations, was the champion not only of labor's right to organize and bargain collectively but of improving the working conditions and daily lives of all New Yorkers. It also fought for safe and healthy workplaces, a fair and equitable workers' compensation system and disability benefits, unemployment insurance, minimum wages, an end to child labor, and job-related training to mention a few.
Furthermore, the state federation served as the voice of labor in public policy determination on issues affecting all citizens-education, housing, transportation, taxation, and the role of government in strengthening the State's economy.
New York Communities for Change
New York Communities for Change is a coalition of working families in low and moderate income communities fighting for social and economic justice throughout New York State. By using direct action, legislative advocacy, and community organizing, NY Communities' members work to impact the political and economic policies that directly affect us. Through neighborhood chapters and issue-based committees, we are working to ensure that every family throughout New York has access to quality schools, affordable housing, and good jobs. It is through the power-in-numbers approach that NY Communities is able to win REAL change for our towns and neighborhoods.
With more than 120,000 members in eight states and Washington, DC, 32BJ is the largest property service workers union in the country. 32BJ is affiliated with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), an organization of over 2 million members united by a belief in the dignity and worth of workers and the services they provide. To raise industry standards and improve lives, SEIU and 32BJ focuses its resources on organizing new members into the union.
We are security officers; doormen, porters, and maintenance workers; bus drivers and aides; window cleaners and food service workers.
We work in residential buildings, commercial offices, airports, university and college campuses, public schools, theaters, museums arenas and stadiums.
As part of SEIU Justice for Janitors, Stand for Security and Multi Service Workers campaigns, 32BJ helps property service workers lift themselves out of poverty and into the middle class by wining livable wages and meaningful benefits, including healthcare, paid sick days and job protection.
We come from 64 different countries and speak 28 different languages, but are united in a single fight for fairness and decency. Our members are a diverse coalition of hard working immigrant and native born individuals coming together in pursuit of the American Dream.

text: The 2015 Honda CB750 concept was created independently of Honda by designer Igor Chak. Visually the 2015 CB750 concept shares little in common with the original CB750 design from the 1970s. However the intended use of the bikes as a sports tourer remains similar. The CB750 concept utilizes an advanced monocoque construction which consists of carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium. The result would be a rigid structure which is both light and incredibly strong. Located low down in the frame is the 750 cc, four cylinder engine which is fueled by liquid hydrogen. This is connected to a six speed dual-clutch transmission. The bike also features launch and traction control. Perhaps the most interesting element of the 2015 CB750 concept is the advanced array of electronic aids and performance systems. The vehicle is fitted with electromagnetic suspension which can be altered instantaneously to suit the road conditions or rider preferences. A radar also detects any possible head-on collisions and automatically slows the bike. A 5" OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display screen located in to the top of the fuel tank controls the three main riding modes for the bike. GPS mode is for accurate and detailed navigation on long or unfamiliar journeys. While in GPS mode the 2015 CB750 concept is connected to the internet and continually receives updates and information to assist the rider. Drive mode allows the rider to choose from three preprogrammed setups, Standard, Economy, or Race. In Diagnostic mode the bike displays information like lap times, fuel consumption, maximum speed achieved etc. Source: YankoDesign.com Other concept motorbikes: Aprilia Magnet Aprilia Kerkennah Audi Moto BMW IMME 1200 Confederate Renovatio Derbi Mulhacen Dodge Tomahawk Honda Concept 1 Honda DN-01 Kawasaki ZZR-X Norton Nemesis Polaris Revolver Robrady rMOTO Sachs Beast Suzuki Nuda Suzuki G-Strider Suzuki Stratosphere Victory Vision 800 Voxan Charade Yamaha MT-OS Yamaha Deinonychus Yamaha Gen-Ryu Yamaha Maxam 3000

Less than a year after leading the Boston Bruins to their first Stanley Cup in 39 seasons, goalie Tim Thomas' future with the team is very much in doubt.
General manager Peter Chiarelli confirmed on Friday that Thomas is seriously considering sitting out next season.
Chiarelli said that he was told in May by Bill Zito, the agent for Thomas, that the goalie was tired and wanted to spend more time with his family.
The 38-year-old Thomas - the MVP of last spring's playoffs - and his wife, Melissa, have three children.
"When someone talks about their family, you have to respect that," said Chiarelli in a conference call.
Thomas, who spent three seasons with the Providence Bruins before blossoming into an NHL superstar, reportedly moved his family from a suburb north of Boston to Colorado at midseason.
"I don't think there's anything mischievous behind this," said Chiarelli, when asked whether Thomas' potential sabbatical might have anything to do with the July 1 expiration of his no-trade clause as he heads into the final year of his contract.
Chiarelli said he had not given Thomas a deadline for making a final decision.
"As of right now, I'm operating under the premise that it is a strong possibility of him taking the year off. We'd have to go about our business without Tim Thomas for the year," Chiarelli said.
"I'm disappointed. These things happen. You've got to roll with them. You've got to deal with it," he said.
"I'd be more than satisfied with Tuukka (Rask) and (Anton) Khudobin as our goaltenders," he said.
The Bruins have been grooming Rask to be the starter for several years. He is slated to be a restricted free agent as of July 1, and is expected to be re-signed.
Khudobin spent most of last season in Providence, and is under contract for next season.
Thomas is entering the final year of a four-year, $20-million contract. If he decides to play, he will be paid $3 million with a salary cap hit of $5 million in 2012-13.
If Thomas decides not to play, he probably would be suspended by the team, Chiarelli said. But his $5-million hit still would count against the salary cap.
If Thomas does not play, Boston could allow his contract to expire after the 2012-13 season or bring him back in 2013-14 with the same salary and cap hit. They have the option of waiving or trading him.
Thomas caused the organization some unwanted attention when he refused to accompany the team to the White House last January, citing political differences with President Obama.

You're going to get all the gooey goal memories from the Big Papers today, so I thought I would remember Beckham's career in the way he would have wanted—via his representation in popular media. Despite being considerably good at the football—HEY REMEMBER THE GOAL HE SCORED AGAINST GREECE THAT WON ENGLAND THE WORLD CUP OR SOMETHING?—the dude was made for TV. He was Pele without all the additional skill, although he certainly looked like himself playing football. And he made a hell of a lot of assists.
He sold smoothies for Burger King!
He sold a clothing line to H&M!
He was in too many goddamn ads to name!
His name appeared in a movie title!
He had a cameo in a very naff movie about football!
He was heavily featured in the sequel which was just as awful!
He did in a touching interview with Zinedine Zidane!
He loved America!

Lindita Lepaja, Public Information Assistant in the Pristina Office, offers this story.
In May 2012, a new business registration center in Pristina started making life a lot easier for business owners in the Republic of Kosovo, allowing them to register and obtain licenses in less time and for less money than before. A modern facility, trained staff and less red tape—thanks to an agreement between the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Tax Administration—make it possible. Individual businesses can be registered in one day. And business registration numbers, fiscal and VAT numbers are now consolidated in one certificate, instead of several. Businessmen and women can get business advice and information.
Pristina's new center is part of a recently established network of 28 efficient municipal business centers spread throughout Kosovo, established with support from the World Bank's Business Environment Technical Assistance project. The $ 7 million project has been supporting the implementation of reforms modernizing business registration, along with upgrading the infrastructure of the centers themselves.
Muharrem Osmani
During the official opening ceremony of the Pristina center that coincided with the project's concluding workshop, Deputy Prime Minister Mimoza Kusari Lila said: "I consider that the work and engagement in the public sector is rewarded on days like today. First, the change has to be visible physically, and second it has to be felt in procedures which will directly benefit the private sector, businesses and Kosovo's economy in general."
Muharrem Osmani is feeling those benefits directly. The first time he opened a business years ago, he had to travel from north Kosovo to the capital several times to fill out paperwork and the registration procedure lasted two weeks.
Recently he registered a new shareholder in a couple of hours at the Mitrovica Municipal Business Center—a short drive from his detergent, shampoo and vinegar manufacturing plant.
"It was very difficult before," says Muharrem. "We had to spend a lot more time and money in lengthy administrative procedures. Now, with the business center in town everything is easier, we receive all the services we need fast and for little money."
That frees up more of his time to focus on running the family business.
When contemplating reforms, the government listened to feedback from business owners. Firms in Kosovo identified a number of administrative barriers to starting and operating a business, and other constraints to doing business in a 2003 survey. They included unfair or informal competition, regulatory policy uncertainty, and corruption.
Thirty separate sets of regulations for licensing and construction permits—many of them ill-defined—existed in different municipalities. Enforcement was lax, and health and trade inspections were inconsistent.
To streamline regulations and encourage business development, the government supported establishing municipal business centers where citizens can obtain permits and business registrations, pay taxes and customs fees—as well as get advice.
Since the opening of the first municipal business centers in July 2010, data collected in the field shows 6,116 new registrations in using the new system, 3,006 changes in registration and 789 business closures. And word of mouth says the business of doing business has become a lot easier.
Fatmir Halili
The center has an online database directly connected to the Kosovo Business Registry Agency in the capital Pristina.
Fatmir Halili heads the Gjilan center. "We are receiving very good feedback from our clients. And we aim to function as a one-stop-shop in the future, offering clients all municipal level services," he says.
Doing business still remains a challenge in Kosovo, but the government is committed to reforms that will simplify bureaucracy, reduce the number of permits and licenses needed, improve inspection capacities and streamline the legal framework.

[456] Cervical Cytology and High Risk HPV Genotype Distribution in Blacks
Xiu Yang, Jonathan Somma, Raavi Gupta, Camille Ragin, Felicitas Lacbawan. SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn; Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia
Background: Persistent infection with high-risk (HR) human papilloma-viruses (HPV) has been demonstrated as causal factor for cervical neoplasia. Molecular testing for HR HPV is now recommended as part of initial triage for women 30 years and older. Cervista™ HPV HR (HPV HR) and genotyping 16/18 (HPV 16/18) are FDA-approved HPV tests currently in clinical use. To date, literature on HR HPV distribution in Blacks is still wanting. Here we present our initial findings on the HR HPV genotype distribution among black women in Brooklyn, NY and correlate their cervical cytology results.
Design: Of 138 HPV HR positive patients from 716 total patients (19.3%) referred for HPV HR testing from January to March 2011, only 47 Blacks with sufficient remaining cervical specimens in ThinPrep solution were processed for HR HPV genotypes by HPV 16/18 and Linear Array (LA) HPV Genotyping kit (Roche). Cytology results were correlated with HPV genotype. HPV 16/18 and LA genotyping results were also compared.
Results: The 47 patients ranged from 19 to 75 years old (mean age = 42.6 yo). Twenty-one patients (44.7%) had cytology diagnosis of ASC-US and above, including 16 ASC-US (34.0%), 1 ASC-H (2%), 2 LSIL (4.3%) and 2 HSIL (4.3%). Among patients with abnormal cytology, LA HPV 59 (28.6%) and HPV 16 (23.8%) were more common. Multiple HPV genotypes were present in 19 (40.4 %) patients determined by LA tests and 14 (73.7%) had abnormal cytology. Three of 6 patients with abnormal cytology had single HPV genotype. From combined HPV 16/18 and LA genotyping, HPV 16 (19.1%) is the most frequent genotype, followed by HPV 59 (14.9%). HPV 18, 35, 39, 51 and 82 had similar prevalence, infecting 6% of this population. The infection prevalence pattern was similar in women under 30 yo and above. HPV 16 was positive in 9 patients by HPV 16/18 but only 1 was confirmed by LA. Three of 8 HPV 16 negative patients had current or previous cytology diagnosis of LSIL or HSIL. All three HPV 18 positive were confirmed by LA. The concordance between HPV HR and LA test was only 44.7% (21/47).
Conclusions: From this ongoing study, our initial results showed that abnormal cytology was associated with concurrent multiple HPV genotypes, with HPV 16 and 59 being the most prevalent. Though Brooklyn's black population is 50% Carribeans, HR HPV distribution in our cohort differs from that published on Caribbean or Caucasian US populations. However, it resembles the urban adolescent population in Georgia which is mostly African American. Furthermore, the Cervista™ HPV test is more sensitive compared to LA test in detecting HPV 16.

Thatched building. An absolute gem! This pub manages to transport visitors back to a time most have long forgotten. In winter both bars are snug and warm; in summer with the doors open, the bar is at one with its rural surroundings. Good conversation is guaranteed "sit and listen, you will soon become involved." Close to Lavenham and the Brett valley the comfortable accommodation (1 room) is recommended. Food (1-4 & 6-10) is available and live music is offered once a month. Games include shove ha'penny and pitch penny cut into a scrubbed table. The pub is also CAMROT approved (Campaign for Real Outside Toilets) do not miss it!
