Strugeon speculated that uncertainty over the musicians' travel documents may have led to the questioning. Visitors from Finland are required to carry a valid passport and to fill out a visa waiver that allows them to stay in the United States for up to 90 days. They cannot work, however.
Strugeon said there may have been some uncertainty about whether the musicians would be earning money on the trip.
Two of the musicians are slated to return this year and are worried they may face other problems entering the country, in part because their passports have a big red flag. Immigration agents initially stamped "Refused Entry" on the passports, said Savolainen, and then later simply crossed that stamp out with a pen.
And organizers of the national FinnFest2008, which is expected to draw about 7,000 visitors to Duluth next summer, hope the incident won't keep these musicians from returning to Minnesota.
"There are a lot of people who want to see these musicians again," said Ralph Tuttilla, a St. Paul musician who hosted the visitors one night for dinner. "That's why some action needs to be taken."

Is anyone interested in doing a beer trade/raffle? Concept would include be signing up here on the forum thread, a drawing would ensue and beer will be shipped/traded. More details: Raffle: 1. Each user may sign up only once. 2. Raffle drawing will be done by random on the computer. 3. The raffle winner will then receive 1 (or 2) beers from the users who did not win. 4. The users will ship bottles of homebrew or other favorite commercial beer to the winner. 5. Winner will provide comments to forum. (Downside of winning) Trade: 1. Each user may sign up only once. 2. Entrants will be paired randomly by computer. 3. List will be posted, and pairs will communicate and trade. 4. Entrants will trade 2 different homebrews or other favorite commercial beer. 5. Entrants may provide feedback however, not necessary. (Everyone wins) Please let me know the interest, and I can set it up! Frequency can be up to once per month.
Im game for either
"i never colored in the lines, i guess thats why i dont follow recipes"
Sounds good. I like the random trade idea.
from the sticky post at the top of this forum http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f38/exchange-rules-44987/
Hopefully someone will undertake this
I did read the rules and understand that the actual exchange is restricted to supporting members. I plan on becoming a supporter when Uncle Sam pays me back. There is no rule about posting a poll to see who is interested though. I did quite the extensive search to see when the last one was done. I could not find anything that was more recent than a couple of years ago. So I thought I would test the waters to see what people would be interested in. It appears that there is almost no interest at this point, so it may be moot. One thing nice about the raffle is that if some people decide not to follow the rules they can just be banned from participating in the future without much change in the operation of the event. I understand the items about a broken exchange, and that is bound to happen. Feel free to make any additional comments.

John Savage
Head of Science, Global Casualty
Not-so-risky business
AIG plots 100 percent low-risk growth, avoids $75 million in losses
With pressure on operating expenses, escalating regulatory pressures, increasing competition and the cost of paying out claims, even insurance companies need a little, well, insurance. For AIG, a leading property and casualty insurance organization serving more than 45 million clients in over 160 countries, some of that insurance comes from using SAS® Business Analytics.
According to Head of Science, Global Casualty John Savage and Head of Science, Global Property David Lee, SAS has become the analytics backbone of the Strategic Risk Analysis Group at AIG. Their group takes on projects in an effort to continually optimize business performance. Their use of 16 underwriting and finance predictive models has helped prevent millions of dollars of potential future losses on an insurance and reinsurance portfolio of approximately $13 billion.
... the tools give us a real-time review of our portfolio. We are now much more confident in making reinsurance decisions.
Three areas of the insurer's business in particular highlight the payoff that the Strategic Risk Analysis Group created: executive liability insurance, catastrophe planning, and financial accounting.
Assessing executive liability risk
To help underwriters assess insurance risk in the area of executive liability insurance, Savage and Lee's team statistically analyzed hundreds of potential loss drivers by researching the filings of every public company since 1996. Identifying six significant predictors, the team deployed its own quantitative risk model (QRM), a web-based, on-demand tool that summarizes risk profiles and enables risk-based business decisions. In an 18-month period, AIG used the solution to target $14 million in new, executive liability business, representing 100 percent growth in that segment. In addition, the modeling tool helped prevent a potential loss of $75 million from certain executive liability accounts over the course of a year.
Better planning for catastrophes
No one knows when catastrophes will strike, and they come in many different forms. But due to AIG's use of analytics, the company now has a clearer picture of its property risk exposures in many geographies, which provides a higher level of confidence in the insurance risk decisions it makes.
"We had relied on reinsurance as a backstop to some degree because we thought we might be overexposed, but we weren't quite sure," explains Savage. "We wanted to minimize that, so the tools give us a real-time view of our portfolio. We are now much more confident in making reinsurance decisions. Today we have a daily view of our risk profile. What we didn't know before was how densely our policies were concentrated in certain locations, like California for earthquakes or Miami for hurricanes. If there was an event in either of those areas, we didn't immediately know what our exposure was; now we do. So, when we go to purchase reinsurance, we know more precisely where our risks are located and how much reinsurance to buy."
Strategic financial planning
When a calamity does strike, the insurance company is under pressure to quickly respond to the needs of affected clients. To ensure that funds are accurately accounted for in the company general ledger for auditing purposes, the analytics team built an automated reconciliation tool using SAS. Due to the insight the tool provides, the company is able to reduce the amount of funds it must keep in reserve to cover discrepancies related to unreconciled payments. In addition, Savage says the tool allowed the company and its auditors to look back over a number of years and, using a data matching process, find millions of dollars in unreconciled payments, providing the company with a deferred tax credit of $10 million.
To help with finding the tax credit, Savage says the company's auditors used the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office to access the raw data – for hundreds of millions of transactions.
"They couldn't easily look at this kind of data, but once we put it in a SAS data set in the SAS® Scalable Performance Data Server® and then put it through the add-in for Microsoft Excel, we could leverage the power of SAS with outside consultants," he explains. "They were finding transactions left and right. It was a huge win for us. Many non-SAS users love the tool because they can look at 100 million records in Excel; they're blown away by that."
"SAS was critical to the reconciliation," adds Lee. "With hundreds of millions of records, previous attempts to do the reconciliation using a variety of software were too slow because our accountants couldn't see the whole data set. SAS has virtually no limit in the number of rows that you can look at."
In another project, the Strategic Risk Analysis group used SAS to build probability-based exposure models to estimate bad-debt reserve needed for uncollected premium receivables, based on open balances across multiple lines of business. The methodology and algorithms comply with audit requirements and provide stable exposure estimates each quarter.
With the Strategic Risk Analysis team well-established and adding considerable business value at AIG, the group is regularly approached to take on new projects. According to Savage, the projects must be qualified and contribute to increasing profitability.
"Modeling with SAS is highly scalable. If we get to a point where something looks like an opportunity, we run it by executive management and show them the value. The larger the organization, and the more data there is, the more opportunity there is to add value with SAS," said Savage.
AIG required an analytics platform to estimate the risk of future loss, help underwriters assess and price insurance risk, and reconcile claims payments, as well as estimate bad-debt reserve funds for premium receivables.
- $14 million in new, low-risk business, representing 100% segment growth.
- Avoided a potential loss of $75 million from certain executive liability accounts.
- $10 million deferred tax credit.
- Reduced requirement for bad-debt reserve funds.
- Accurate, current account reconciliation process.
- Real-time view of risk exposure.
- Ability to analyze hundreds of millions of records.
- Sixteen underwriting and finance predictive models, supporting $3.2 billion in underwriting premiums and reinsurance annually.

Girls Lacrosse: Marian Catholic, Evanston to line up for a good cause
By Tim O'Brien For Sun-Times Media May 13, 2014 8:08PM
Updated: June 15, 2014 6:39AM
Marian Catholic's Caitlin Henry's focus is on the postseason, scheduled to begin Monday.
Well, much of her attention. Wednesday, her mind might be elsewhere.
In hopes of raising awareness about lupus, the Marian Catholic girls lacrosse team will host a Lupus Awareness Match when the Spartans host to Evanston. The junior varsity will play at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, with the varsity scheduled to start at 7:45 p.m.
"We hope we can spread some awareness because this is a disease that is out there," Henry said. "It affects a lot of people. It hurts, but you wouldn't know it. It's always fun to play lacrosse for the team, but now we can play for the school and play for other people as well."
The third annual Lupus Awareness Match for Marian Catholic isn't a forced fundraiser for the team. The program helps put it together because Sister Teresa Marron, a longtime member of the Marian faculty, has lupus.
"It's cooler for us because we're playing for something different," Henry said. "You wouldn't know Sister Teresa has the disease, but she's always happy, always smiling. She has lupus, but it doesn't define her."
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal, healthy tissues. Ninety percent of those affected by lupus are women.
"It means a lot to the girls to get involved," Marian Catholic coach Brian Patterson said. "We're looking to raise some awareness, raise some money, and help Sister Teresa and the community."
The lacrosse team has been selling T-shirts emblazoned with "Fight Like a Girl". Candy will be sold throughout both games, and there will be a "Beat the Goalie" contest during halftime of the JV game. Donations also will be accepted.
Marian (11-6, 6-0), which at one point was 1-4, won the East Suburban Catholic Conference title for the second straight year.
The message? Anything is possible.
"We've come a long way," Henry said. "We've shown we can be a strong, aggressive team, and if we put our mind to it we can do anything."

Been catching up and hopefully soon I will put together a more detailed collection of thoughts of the last four podcasts. But for now, regarding the Kira podcaast, I think it is okay to see her as a terrorist. By the very definition of the word that is what she was. Of course she was on the side of righteousness and was a freedom fighter against an invading, all powerful occupier. Nevertheless she did willing take part of actions that were designed to harm the bad guys/Cardassians even if innocent individuals were killed in the process. That is a terrorist.
I don't think we should shy away from that word simply because of 9-11. In fact one of the things that makes DS9 stand out is that a main character and the second in command on the station was a terrorist. Let us not sugarcoat this. I doubt any TV show can get away with that today.
Those are some good points, thank you for listening!

Science and Theology: Questioning the "Two-State Solution"
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
A Biologist's Perspective
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Responses to David Barash on God and Evolution in the Classroom
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.

We're checking out the cool show trucks at Good Guys in Nashville.
We're painting our '49 Chevy with brushes and a roller to create a look that takes mother nature 50 years to create.
It's the start of our all new MuscleTrux series and to kick it off, it's the oldest matchup in the book, Ford versus Chevy.
In this show, it's finally time to lay it on the line as we put the first two trucks in our MuscleTrux series up against each other in head to head competition.
In this show, Import trucks are hot and today weâ??re taking a new Toyota Tundra and turning it into one mean daily driver that can also take on the trails.
Today we're kicking off a brand new project to wedge a Ford dual overhead cam 4.6 liter V-8 into a 2001 'Ranger' based truck to build a smaller version of Ford's Lighting. Since "Mini Lightening" doesn't sound that tough, we're calling this Project - Rolling Thunder!
Kevin's taking his prized Christmas cozy "blankie" and turning it into a hard core custom race truck front bumper! Then we're gonna install it on Project Rolling Thunder- our 600 plus horsepower street legal race track ready Ford Ranger!
Our 2001 Chevy Silverado is sporting replacement body panels, now it's time to fix up a dented passenger door and get the truck ready for paint. We'll show you how to mud, sand and prime to get your rig ready for a seamless, color match paint job!
With our Silverado the right shape, it's time to make it the right color again. We'll show you how to paint only the parts you need to and how to blend the color for a seamless and invisible repair so no one can tell what's new from what's original.
Project Cheep Cherokee was a big hit this season so, we're taking it up a notch with our 5 Grand Cherokee project. We're taking a 1998 Grand Cherokee out of its mundane "grocery getter" life and jacking it skyward with a 5.5-inch long travel lift kit, some cool junk yard upgrades and bigger wheels and tires that are better suited to this Grand Cherokee happily living out its life on trails in the great outdoors.
In this show, it's back to work on our Project 5 Grand Cherokee. First we're cutting out room for our new suspension flex and showing you how to keep the factory look for cheap and we're adding some heavy duty rocker skids, homemade bumpers and a tire rack. And then, it's a new trucks project inspired by a demolition derby!
It's the start of our all new MuscleTrux series and to kick it off, it's the oldest matchup in the book, Ford versus Chevy. Ryan's taking a 1990 454 SS Chevy while Kevin's picking a '94 Ford Lightning. Today, we're gonna find out just how much these two trucks will put out in their stock form so each guy can formulate a secret plan to push both of these trucks towards the 400 horsepower mark. Then later in the season, we'll pit them head to head to see which one comes out on top.
Bowtie boy Ryan's got a big play for using big displacement to make big power for his entry in our first MuscleTrux series matchup. Kevin's not allowed in the shop as Ryan's adding new heads, a new valve train, a pro-flo EFI throttle body, and intake to his 454 to wake up the potential in this big V-8.
It's Blue Oval boy Kevin's turn to take over the shop and kick Ryan out as he takes a radical approach to more power by turbocharging his V-8. Hidden under the bed, a tailpipe turbo spins up the boost while bigger fuel injectors and a new fuel management system pump up the power on this big red Ford.
It's another shot in our MuscleTrux series as Kevin's 1994 Ford Lightning prepares for battle by getting a suspension overhaul with a lowering kit, new brakes, and much better tires. It's a new found stance and new found handling to let Kevin take advantage of all his new found power from his tailpipe turbo setup.
Ryan returns fire as his 1990 Chevy 454 SS also gets dropped down into the weeds with its very own lowering kit, new brakes, wheels and tires. Matching stance for stance with Kevin's Lightning, Ryan's getting his big block Chevy ready to go head to head with the Ford in our MuscleTrux series. Also, we'll show you how to breathe new life into your worn out GMC or Chevrolet truck by doing a simple, hand tools only engine swap and it's easier than you think!
In this show, we've got more MuscleTrux wars! It's a chassis dyno shootout to see what kind of power our sport trucks are making. Then, we'll check out what's hot and what's cool at the Nashville Goodguys show and finally, it's sanding and buffing tech that'll give your truck a mirror finish.
In this show, it's finally time to lay it on the line as we put the first two trucks in our MuscleTrux series up against each other in head to head competition. We're scoring this Ford versus Chevy battle on everything from flat out performance to road manner and even to good looks.
Today, we'll take you out of the shop to two of the best places around and have our 1966 Chevy C-10's frame media blasted and powdercoated. Then, it's back to the shop to install a brand new air suspension that will make our '66 C-10 ride better than a brand new truck!
It's the return of our cherry 1966 Chevy C-10 and we'll show you not only how to fix those nasty rust spots with patch panels, we're even going to show you some metal shaping tips so you can make your own panels. And, we'll show you a cheap, effective and very environmentally safe way to blast off old paint.
The day has finally come for us to take our Daily Driver 1966 Chevy C-10 out of the shop and hit the road to see how much better this nearly 45 year old truck rides and handles. Now, this C-10 still has its classic looks but underneath, it's got through a whole transformation with an air suspension and more powerful drive train!
It's the start of our low buck Bronco build up as we drag a somewhat complete 1979 Ford Bronco out of a field and strip it down to the chassis in the Trucks! shop. We'll begin bringing it back to life by spending as little money as possible to make this Bronco an awesome weekend warrior that we don't mind bouncing off a few trees!
Our Bronco is back and we're working over the junkyard 460 big block we got with our Bronco for maximum torque. After that, we're going to get the frame up in the air with a new lift kit and 37in tall tire, then we'll mate the body back on the chassis to get this behemoth ready for some more low buck work.
We hit our stride with our low buck Bronco project as we smooth out some of the rough spots on the body and build in a do-it-yourself roll cage for a little protection. Then for less than $200 we're gonna paint this old Ford in a way you'd never expect! It's a radical but inexpensive paint job that'll christen this low buck buildup, Das Bronco!
It's judgment day on the high sea's well, at least on the highway as we roll project Das Bronco out of dry dock to wage war against any off road trails that may challenge our 460 cubic inch powered low buck Bronco. Then we'll get one step closer to getting Project "Haulin' S-10" ready for the drag strip.
Our '53 F-100 is ready for body and fender work. Kevin shows how-to prep and shoot fiberglass and steel parts. Also we'll show how-to hang fenders, running boards and a custom bed. Last but not least, the guys go into detail on how-to paint a cab!

The purchase increases the WRTA's electric fleet to six buses — 13% of its entire fleet. The buses are set to go into service this month, giving WRTA the largest fleet of electric buses in revenue service in North America.
The WRTA made its initial purchase from Proterra in September 2012, using funds from a $4.4 million Federal Transit Authority Clean Fuels grant to replace three of its 12 old diesel buses. The three electric buses went into service in late summer.
"Repeat customers represent the ultimate customer service goal for our company," said Garrett Mikita, Proterra's president/CEO. "Our continuing partnership with WRTA emphasizes the long-term financial benefits of reducing an authority's dependence on fossil fuels and the positive impact battery-electric buses can have on the environment."
Proterra's EcoRide BE35 battery-electric buses recharge in less than 10 minutes. The buses are made of lightweight composite materials and are powered with state-of-the-art battery technology. As a result, the buses have zero emissions, run virtually silent and are 500% more fuel efficient than diesel buses.

Vodafone Qatar has reported a 30% rise in its revenue to QR1.98bn for the year ended March 31, 2014, compared with the same period a year ago, mainly due to the increase in mobile revenues, the Peninsula has reported. The company's share of mobile revenues in the country grew to 33.6% by the end of the financial year from 30.4% in the previous year. "Vodafone Qatar's growth in mobile revenues is attributed to the fact that 62% of Qatar's population uses the company's services each month," said Vodafone Qatar's chairman, Sheikh Dr Khalid bin Thani Al Thani. "On March 31, 2014, the number of our customers reached 1.327 million, an increase by 22%, representing 243,000 more subscribers over the previous year," he said.

Hello. We're planning to install a pedestal sink in our small bathroom and are choosing between a Toto Promenade and a Barclay Sussex. Does anyone have any experience -- good or bad -- with these specific styles? And/or can anyone comment on the quality of Toto and Barclay sinks or products in general? Thanks for your help! |

I have a Toto LPT315.8G Pedestal Sink and I really like it so far. It's easy to clean and beautiful. The installation instructions were good. I had a little trouble with the installation due to lack of the right size basin wrench and inexperience with pedestal sink installation, but otherwise it went well. It has been installed for a little over a year now and I haven't had a single problem. My one and only complaint is that the basin isn't as deep as I'd hoped. The sink is in my powder room adjacent to my laundry room, so I'd been hoping to do a little hand washing of laundry in it, but haven't done much since it's pretty shallow. This is probably specific to the style of the sink, which is very modern/clean lined. On a side note, have you seen the Toto "Ethos Design" pedestal sinks? I was looking on Toto's site and they have this line with floral/nature artwork on the sink. An interesting idea. |

At heart of Ukraine drama, a tale of two countries
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) — In the afternoon, when the shift ends at the coal mine and the miners walk out into the cold and past the old concrete statue of Lenin, they often head to a tiny corner store a block away. There they'll stand in the parking lot for a while, drinking little bottles of the vodka called "Truthful."
They know what is happening in Kiev, the capital city that can seem so far away. They've seen pictures of the democracy protesters shot dead in Kiev's streets, and the TV reports on the mansions of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, the one-time thug and pro-Russia politician who grew up in this far-eastern city. They watched from afar this week as protesters, many from western Ukraine, helped form the country's new government.
They don't like it at all.
"I have always felt that we are so different," said a miner who gave his name only as Nikolai, a thickset 35-year-old who went from high school directly into the mines. People speak Russian across most of Ukraine's east, and worship in onion-domed Orthodox churches. They were shaped by 70 years of Soviet rule and its celebration of socialist industrialization, and by the Russian empire before that. To them, the government is now being run by outsiders who care little for this side of the country. "If they try to pressure us, our region will revolt."
His words are echoed — except for a few key words — in a conversation 800 miles (1,250 kilometers) to the west, in a medieval cobblestoned city, Ukrainian-speaking residents and houses displaying the EU flag and its yellow stars.
"We are simply different people from those living in the East," said Ludmila Petrova, a university student in Lviv, a hotbed of support for Ukraine's pro-democracy forces and opposition to Yanukovych. "They don't know what the West is. We have a different history. Maybe it is better that we separate once and for all."
If Ukraine looks neatly delineated on maps, its often-bloody history is a tangle of invasions and occupations, peoples and beliefs. It is a place that has been struggling for centuries to define itself. And now it finds itself so sharply divided — between support for Russia on one side of the country and loyalty to the West on the other — that it often seems more like two countries than one.
On opposite sides of Ukraine, two cities, each of about 1 million people, illustrate that divide.
The eastern city of Donetsk can seem like a cliche of post-Soviet grimness, a place of Stalinist-era apartment blocks, tin-roofed shacks and loyalty to Russia. In the west, Lviv has emerged as a center for Ukrainian artists and writers, a huge draw for European tourists and a city desperate for closer ties to the West.
To the fiercest pessimists, as well as to extremists on both sides, the cities are already in different nations.
"The country is already separated," said Ivan Reyko, a 30-year-old factory worker from Donetsk who joined a recent demonstration of about 100 people in the city's main plaza, Lenin Square, where a 30-foot-tall statue of the Soviet hero gazes proudly toward the horizon. "There is no way back to a united Ukraine."
A recent series of ominous signs has diplomats warning the region could easily stumble into widespread violence. Among them: military drills just across the border by 150,000 Russian soldiers, and the seizure of the parliament building in the Russian-speaking region of Crimea by unidentified gunmen, who flew the Russian flag and chanted "Crimea is Russia."
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been long dreaming of pulling Ukraine, a sprawling country of 46 million seen as the ancient cradle of Slavic civilization, closer to Moscow.
In Lviv, though, a bookish, soft-spoken mayor is dreaming of something else.
Andriy Sadovyi has been a powerful symbol of resistance to Yanukovych, as well as regional powerbroker who cut ties to the central government even before the president was forced from power. Sadovyi, who insists he only wants regional autonomy in Ukraine, has called repeatedly for unity.
"Ukraine is strong only if it is united," he said a couple days after Yanukovych fled the presidential compound. "Any division would destroy Ukraine."
Modern Lviv sees itself at the core of Ukrainian hopes for a more open, democratic government. But the area, once part of neighboring Poland and long a wealthy agricultural region, also saw the rise of a series of nationalist movements in the 1930s. When Germany invaded Ukraine during World War II, some residents cooperated with the Nazi occupiers, who were seen as liberators from the hated Soviets. Tens of thousands of the region's Jews disappeared into Nazi camps or were gunned down in their homes by death squads.
When the war ended, Moscow exacted its revenge: nationalist fighters who fought Red Army soldiers were purged and sent to prison gulags, along with Roman Catholic and nationalist leaders who could challenge Russian authority. The city was transformed from a cosmopolitan center into a decaying backwater. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, political groups from Lviv were key in fighting for Ukraine's independence.
For two decades, anti-Russian feelings quietly burned across the region, along with anger at Yanukovych.
Even today, thousands of people in western Ukraine, a handful even wearing Nazi-themed uniforms, hold rallies every year honoring men who fought Stalin's forces during World War II.
Fierce historical loyalties helped drive the support that has poured from Lviv into Kiev and the capital's Independence Square, epicenter of the anti-Yanukovych protests, which began late last year. For months, Lviv residents have donated food, medicine and clothing for the protesters, and many have joined them. The city's churches serve as warehouses for aid for the demonstrators, who continue to occupy the square, fearing the return of the former president or his supporters.
Over the months, western Ukraine became virtually independent as Yanukovych focused his attention on the Kiev uprising. Then, a few days ahead of Yanukovych's disappearance, central rule all but disappeared in Lviv, when masked youths stormed the city's police headquarters, looted weapons and set fire to a number

eLearning as good as traditional training for health professionals: where is the evidence?
Electronic learning could enable millions more students to train as doctors and nurses worldwide, according to research.
A new systematic review of the literature commissioned by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and carried out by Imperial College London researchers aiming at establishing the evidence-base for eLearning concludes that eLearning is likely to be as effective as traditional methods for training health professionals.

In a new Editorial of the WHO Bulletin, authors Michel Sidibé & James Campbell address the urgent need to upgrade our current model of human resources for health and talk us through the requirements of reversing a global health workforce crisis.
GHWA board calls for long-term investments in health workers in Ebola-affected countries
As at 3 December, 2014 a total of 622 health-care workers (HCWs) are known to have been infected with the Ebola virus, 346 of whom have died. The personal sacrifice of so many health workers must not be in vain. The Board of the Global Health Workforce Alliance (GHWA) notes that the Ebola crisis has uniquely demonstrated how health workers are at the core of providing essential health services, responsive to populations' needs, yet compromised by weak health systems, long-term neglect and under-investment.
Reviewing the relevance and effectiveness of the WHO Global Code of Practice: Call for papers
The Human Resources for Health journal in collaboration with the World Health Organization, and the Global Health Workforce Alliance , is inviting research to gather new evidence on the relevance and effectiveness of the Code since its adoption in 2010, and to inform the five-year review of the Code, scheduled for the World Health Assembly (WHA) in May 2015.

Who's stubborn like me?
Anyone else make up their minds about a resort at WDW before giving it a chance and later wondering why you took so long to stay there?
For many years I thumbed my nose at staying at CSR and S&D. My DW would mention them but I'd just say that they don't appeal to me and I won't like them. I remember telling her that CSR looks boring and when we were staying at YC mentioning that I thought that S&D looks out of place among these beautiful EPCOT resorts... well now... DW finally talked me into trying CSR 3 years ago, and now it's my family's favorite moderate resort! :guilty: Last trip down i was determined to stay in the EPCOT area. DW priced the nurse's deal at Swan. I really didn't want to do it, but how could I argue with staying outide of EPCOT for HALF the money it would have cost to stay at YC/BC? Now I would stay there anytime! The restaurants and amenities are great! I'd probably still rather stay at YC, but unless the prices become more equitable, I'm now a S&D fan! :upsidedow |
Nope I am a deluxe resort snob. I can't go back.
Nope, have no use for S&D, never stayed there and never will, stayed at CSR once and will never go back, totally detested the resort layout, hugeness and food options!
we stayed at the Dolphin last year while Dh had a conference... we will NEVER stay there again... I was beyond disappointed in the hotel/ pool/ staff/ rooms. I'll stick with DVC. :)
I think the point is being missed. :scratchin
I wasn't asking if people love CSR or S&D. I was asking if people had avoided staying at a resort only to later find it was actually a great resort... :confused3 |
We booked at SSR because there was a 45% off discount and free dining. I felt like it was one of my last choices- and it wouldn't compare to the Poly, BC, AKL, GF, etc. I insisted to my family that it wasn't in the same league. When we stayed there, we fell in love!!! We actually didn't like the Poly or AKL at all really, they were dark and dreary. We felt that SSR was in the same league as BC- with the exception of location.
We are still put off of the S&D because although we have been inside it, it feels like a normal hotel- not a Disney hotel. Also it doesn't offer free dining which is one of the things we almost insist upon when visiting WDW. I think we may give it a chance someday, although my dream is to stay at the GF. I used to prioritize the Poly over the GF. And I considered switching from SSR to AKL, thinking it would be so much better. I am so glad I didn't actually get us to switch. I was stubborn when it came to parks too. Before our first trip in 2011, I thought that Epcot would be the best park- my favourite. I thought that MK would be my least favourite- boring and babyish. It turned out that MK was my favourite park by far and Epcot was second to last in my preferences. :) Meg~ Sent from my iPhone using DISBoards |
I did the same thing with POR. Thought it looked boring and not flashy like we were used to at the values. But a few friends really liked POR and we looked at it more closely. We have since stayed there twice and will never, ever go back to the values. I'd like to think I'd be open to trying another Mod but it would be hard because we love POR so much.
We now like POR more than POFQ (Though we like POFQ too), especially since there is no sit down restaurant at POFQ. We used to love Bon Famille and were extremely disappointed when they decided to close it and use the room for DVC stuff. :( |
At this point, the only resorts I've formed that kind of "heck, no, I won't stay there" are the All Stars and CBR. I don't really know why. :confused3 At this point, I don't really see any reason why that would change, so it probably won't. ;) I would stay - and would like to stay - at any of the others that I haven't stayed in, at least once to check it out (AoA, FW Cabins, Poly, BW, Y&BC, SSR, Contemporary, GF). I don't know that I'd consider Swan and Dolphin in this, but I've stayed at the Swan, and while it was lovely, I really have no burning desire to go back again or stay at the Dolphin.
Anyway, yes! And we love S/D! |
There are several we have never stayed at and I still have no intention of doing it -- Grand Floridian (too stuffy) and the Wilderness Lodge (bad experiences when visiting). I highly doubt I would ever change my mind about those two.
I also said we would never stay at the Boardwalk or any other moderate than the Coronado. Well, we are staying at the Boardwalk Villas in December and if we stop for two nights in April on my husband's business trip, we will probably stay at a moderate other than CSR (we will stay at Port Orleans Riverside). I too said I'd never stay at the Swan/Dolphin and actually looked into it for our December trip this year. But I was able to get the BWV cheaper than what the Dolphin was quoting me at. Some day we will stay at the Dolphin for a short trip. |

Box 2-7 Service Science, Management, and Engineering The world economy is experiencing the largest labor force migration in history. Driven by an environment that includes global communications, business growth, and technology innovation, services now account for more than 50 percent of the labor force in Brazil, Russia, Japan, and Germany, as well as 75 percent of the labor force in the United States and the United Kingdom. This unparalleled segment growth is changing the way companies organize themselves, creating a ripple effect in industries and universities that are closely tied to these organizations. For instance, historically, most scientific research has been geared to supporting and assisting manufacturing, which was once a dominant force in the world economy. Now that economies are shifting, industrial and academic research facilities need to apply more scientific rigor to the practices of services, such as finding better ways to use mathematical optimization to increase productivity and efficiency on demand. This shift to focusing on services has created a skills gap, especially in the area of high-value services, which requires people who are knowledgeable about business and information technology as well as the human factors that go into a successful services operation. Many leading universities have begun exploring and investing in this area, working in tandem with thought leaders in the business world. In May 2004, this group suggested that an entirely new academic discipline may be called for—first roughly described as "services science" at a summit held at IBM. Subsequent meetings have caused the discipline to evolve into the more appropriate service science, management, and engineering (SSME) title now used. Service design, development, marketing, and delivery all require methodologies and techniques to make service businesses more efficient and scalable. Both depth and breadth are needed in technology, business, and organizational studies, even at the undergraduate level. SSME hopes to provide that depth and breadth by bringing together ongoing work in computer science, operations research, industrial engineering, business strategy, management sciences, social and cognitive sciences, and legal sciences to develop the skills required in a services-led economy. The goal of the SSME discipline is to make productivity, quality, sustainability, and learning and innovation rates more predictable across the service sector. SOURCE: Adapted from "Service Science, Management and Engineering," IBM Incorporated http://www.research.ibm.com/ssme/ and http://www-304.ibm.com/jct09002c/university/scholars/skills/ssme/index.html (accessed October 20, 2007). |
programs, programs in this field emphasize the education of "T-shaped" employees who have depth in science and also breadth in terms of business and customer skills. (See Box 2-7.)

Although Mexican cuisine usually involves a variety of complex flavors, you'll find three base ingredients in most dishes: tomatoes, white onions, and chiles. Here we use jalapeño peppers in the pico de gallo, which give a nice kick, but you can substitute the hotter serrano chile if you're a fan of spicy foods. Serve the sautéed chicken breasts with cilantro rice.

1. Combine first 3 ingredients, 2 tablespoons oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Press release from GlobeNewswire (a Nasdaq OMX company)
What Buzzwords Are Americans Sick and Tired of Hearing This Election Season?
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
What Buzzwords Are Americans Sick and Tired of Hearing This Election Season?14:00 EDT Wednesday, September 26, 2012LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CafePress Inc. (Nasdaq:PRSS), The World's Customization Engine TM, today announces an exciting political promotion, CafePress Buzzword Bingo, which rewards active viewer participation during the upcoming presidential debate held on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. Debate viewers are encouraged to visit CafePress' election shop during the live-telecast where CafePress will keep track of how many times each candidate uses pre-selected buzzwords, customers will reap the rewards associated with each buzzword.
The pre-selected buzzwords that CafePress will monitor for are:
Middle class
Wall Street
"Doubling down"
In anticipation of the upcoming debate, CafePress surveyed Americans to determine what buzzwords they expect to hear the most and those they are already tired of hearing; several interesting findings came from the survey:
Not surprisingly, almost 50% of Americans expect to hear "economy" during the debate
-- "Economy" led as the most expected buzzword across all survey demographics, including: generations, education and household income
25-34 year olds, those arguably hit hardest in the jobs category during the recession, lead the generational categories surveyed, with 26% expecting "jobs" to be used most frequently
Only 1% of surveyed Americans expect to hear "Wall Street" mentioned, despite the fact that 22% are tired of hearing about the "1%" (much discussed during the "Occupy Wall Street" movement)
Only 8% of all those surveyed are tired of hearing "freedom"
10% more men are tired of the phrase "doubling down" than women (27% v 17%)
Women are equally tired of hearing the phrases "success" and "built that" (22%)
During the debate, CafePress will host a live tally on a Bingo Board and provide sudden coupon offers on political merchandise.
"CafePress is at the intersection of self-expression and technology and the election offers a key moment in time for the public to express themselves. We want Americans to be actively engaged in politics and so we are creating an opportunity to get everyone excited about expressing their personal beliefs by voting in November," said Marc Cowlin, director of marketing at CafePress. "CafePress Buzzword Bingo is an opportunity for debate viewers to have a personal vested interest in what the candidates say on the debate stage."
CafePress offers a wide variety of political gear to allow voters the opportunity to fully express their opinions on the candidates, parties and issues. Each week, since November 2011, The CafePress Meter is shared on the CafePress Elections page that tracks merchandise sales trends for each presidential candidate. CafePress believes that how people spend money on political merchandise says a lot about a candidate's supporters and the way they will vote.

The survey was conducted among 1,200 adults in USA. The interviews were conducted online by Redshift Research in September 2012 using an email invitation and an online survey. Quotas were set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total populations aged 18 and older.
Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 3.1 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample.CONTACT: Media Contact

Earlier projects
The nearest precedent that Solberg could recall was a left-turn-lane addition built last fall and funded by Interstate Mills grain company on Hwy. 56 near Randolph in Dakota County.
Elkins cited a project completed several years ago on Hwy. 169 at Bren Road in Minnetonka. There, UnitedHealth Group and the city helped fund an interchange that would have been at least 20 years away otherwise.
It makes sense for companies to pay for infrastructure projects that benefit them and increase the value of their property, Elkins said.
If the Scott project is unusual for Minnesota, public-private partnerships are common in other states, Johnson said.
The Shakopee tribe has been contributing funds to transportation projects for 20 years, often in partnership with Scott County and local cities, said Bill Rudnicki, tribal administrator.
They funded a $17.5 million project in 2005 to construct an interchange on Hwy. 169 in Belle Plaine, with the state later repaying them, he said.
But this is the first time the tribe has been the exclusive funder on a state highway project, he said.
The tribe has 4,200 employees and 1,000 vendors. "We started getting involved with this because I think we saw a need," Rudnicki said. "What we're looking at is to eliminate the weave and improve the safety of the roadway on 169."
When cars are driving south on the highway toward Shakopee, the road goes from four to three lanes. About a mile before County Road 83, it goes down to two lanes, something that Canterbury Park CEO Randy Sampson has "grumbled about" since they built it.
Over Memorial Day, there were 30,000 concertgoers at Canterbury Park, plus 7,000 people there to watch races, Sampson said.
"This will take a lot of pressure off by having that extra lane," he said. "I think it's terrific that they have offered to fund this expansion."
Open for debate
MnDOT is not paying for or designing the road but will review plans and inspect the finished product, requiring staff time. Those hours are minimal, Solberg said.
If private money pays for building or expanding a road but doesn't pay for maintenance, that cost could one day fall on the public, who may not have supported the project in the first place, Johnson said.
Still, MnDOT is open to private entities offering to pay for road improvements, Solberg said. "As long as they meet the standards and as long as it is not detrimental to the system, we certainly are going to move forward with anything that makes sense," he said.
Rudnicki said tribal representatives have spoken to other area businesses and received their support.
"We've done a lot of [projects with] different partnerships and relationships," he said. "This is just another way we can help out."

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; | 8 Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. |
9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. | 9 They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. |
10 And let these also first be proved ; then let them use the office of a deacon , being found blameless. | 10 They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons. |
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. | 11 In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. |
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. | 12 A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well. |
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. | 13 Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus. |

"Needs a lot of work!"
Seems like a solid firewall but nags a lot!
Very sensitive to every single change on your PC. The alerts don't stop which can get extremely annoying. The interface is packed with nonsensical stuff..it's just too cluttered. Comodo need to rearrange the menus: group things together.
