- OR - Select an option belowIt's not an Italian restaurant. It's Italian American, what people in New York's burbs (like Staten Island, where chef Michael D'Andrea grew up) commonly call a "red-sauce joint." But that's no diss when the sauce's tomatoes are naturally sweet D.O.P. San Marzanos. And other ingredients boast the same high quality. The dried pasta is De Cecco (and always cooked al dente, not overcooked and mushy). Cured cold cuts, like the San Daniele prosciutto, are Negroni. Olive oil is top quality, first cold-pressed extra virgin. The favored cheese is Locatelli Pecorino Romano -- so aromatic that the term imported doesn't begin to do it justice; in fact just one sniff exports you to southern Italy. Recipes, from the chef's grandmother, are tasty renditions of simple, honest, homey fare, like rigatoni with broccoli rabe; generously ricotta-stuffed ravioli with fresh peas, chicken, and mushrooms in a lemony white sauce; and an excellent -- and never precooked -- veal cutlet. One warning: The chef is not happy to alter Grandma Macaluso's recipes. So, dieters, fuhgeddaboutit.

Budget Preview: More demand for health and human services budget, fewer dollars
Posted By Tazra Mitchell On March 5, 2013 @ 10:19 am In Falling Behind in NC,NC Budget and Tax Center | Comments Disabled
Since the Great Recession and well-into the economic recovery, the state's commitment to the well-being and safety of North Carolinians has wavered. The current FY2012-13 state budget [1] provides the proof because it falls far short of investing adequately in the health, safety, education, and economic security of families and their children in the state. The budget's shortcomings in the health and human services (HHS) infrastructure affect North Carolinians at nearly every life stage and can literally impact their longevity and vitality.
HHS funding aims to ensure that the state's future citizens thrive early, seniors have access to quality and affordable health care, people with disabilities have the supports they need to contribute to their communities, and that food consumed by diners is safe. The HHS budget totals nearly $4.7 billion, making up 23 percent of the total General Fund budget. And, funding for this section of the budget is down by 8.3 percent compared to pre-recession levels (FY2007-08). The figures below highlight the top 3 ways the HHS budget is falling behind anticipated demand for services.
It will be important to watch these three major areas of the HHS budget. It will also be worth keeping an eye on the mental health section of the HHS budget. Per his State of the State Address, Governor McCrory vowed to support improvements in the state's mental health system and called for the re-investment in drug treatment courts and services—which currently [6] receive no state funding. The FY2011-13 budget eliminated the $2 million appropriation that covers staffing and operational costs for these courts and the FY2012-13 budget eliminated the $2.3 million appropriation that covers drug treatment services.
Further cuts to the HHS budget will only block the pathway to ensuring that North Carolinians are healthy, safe, and able to thrive.

BEST CONCERT OF THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS Miami 2002 - The Strokes at Billboardlive
Critics have been proclaiming the death of rock and roll for so long now, the genre's aesthetic demise is almost taken as a given. Buzzsaw guitars? Crashing drums? A lovesick singer whipping his microphone through the air? Uh, what else ya got, grandpa? So why the Strokes were able to take those three familiar fuzzed-out chords and whip up so much unalloyed excitement during their January Billboardlive concert is anybody's guess. The reference points were certainly clear enough -- a taste of Lou Reed's jaded snarl here, a dash of Television's dueling Telecasters there, even an old-fashioned sing-along. But somehow it all seemed fresh again, full of crackling energy, and the packed audience ate it up with a sweaty, body-tossing frenzy.

Dancing on Ice star Maria Filippov has been "terrified" by a stalker who has been following her to rehearsals for the show, a report has claimed. The 36-year-old professional ice dancer is partnering Gary Lucy in the reality TV contest.
Sources have revealed that show bosses have used decoys drivers to ensure that the stalker is unable to find out where she lives.
Maria told Dancing on Ice chiefs that she was suspicious of a driver in a white van while taking part in rehearsals for the show in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
The man is said to have followed the Bulgarian skating star to the rink and was seen lurking outside the gates to the studios, says the Daily Star Sunday.
Dancing on Ice security used a decoy car to make sure that the man was unable to follow Maria back home.
A show insider told the newspaper: "She was absolutely terrified by what happened and everyone was shocked when she told them about her ordeal.
"Security didn't want to take any chances and it was a good job their team acted so quickly otherwise the man might well have discovered where she lived - which doesn't even bear thinking about."
The source added: "Luckily, she is someone who is extremely vigilant so she noticed pretty much straightaway that she was being followed.
"Everything is being done to ensure she is all right."

Re: Do you play it safe?
I tend to go out on the edge quite often, and sometimes it gets me in trouble. But I've found that if I write about issues from a place of authority, experience and conviction, it 1) generates more comments and discussion, 2) those article are read more, 3) I come across as a truth teller, a straight shooter rather than just another puff and fluff Realtor.
Writing about which flowers are best to plant along the walkway does nothing for my credibility, but writing about my last encounter with a bozo agent, the impact that had on the deal, and how I dealt with it is something that readers like to read about and which they can learn from.
It certainly stirs things up and even earned a call to my Broker from corp headquarters requesting that I take down the Bozo photo and tone down the article (which I reluctantly did, even though I feel censored).
I changed the subtitle from "Bozo Agent Blows Deal for Buyer" to "Well meaning Agent blows deal for Buyer"

Re: Do you play it safe?
Play it safe is good, and writing about which flowers to place along a sidewalk is great material from someone who is selling and if you have information backed up by others that state 'red flowers' are more memorable then any other color or that mixed in large groups with bright yellow flowers your house will stick in potential buyers minds much longer then not planting flowers at all.
As a seller you can see that if a buyer sees 20 houses in a day, and yours is one they remember just because of the choices made in planting flowers along the sidewalk, then this is pretty relevant and important information. Of course if you say "I think planting some red flowers looks nice" then this might not convey the message you want to send nor makes you look like you have authoritative knowledge on selling homes.

Be real when you blog! You aren't doing it to just "sound good" and be someone you are not. State your opinion on the matter - afterall you are the professional that people are looking to for input. You will win some over - you will turn some off. But don't worry, the ones your turn off aren't calling you anyway! You really have nothing to lose - just go for it.

What Is Burgundy?
Burgundy is one of the major wine-producing regions that hold an AOC designation in France. However, over the years, I have often found that people are confused about what a Burgundy really is, because the name has been borrowed so freely. Burgundy is not a synonym for red wine, even though the color known as burgundy is obviously named after red wine.
Many of the world's most renowned (and expensive) white wines come from Burgundy. Adding to the confusion (especially going back twenty-plus years) is that many red wines around the world were simply labeled "Burgundy" even though they were ordinary table wines. There are still some wineries, especially in the United States, that continue to label their wines as Burgundy, but these wines have no resemblance to the style of authentic French Burgundy wines.
It's important to know the types of wine that are produced there. Burgundy is another region so famous for its red wines that people may forget that some of the finest white wines of France are also produced there. The three areas in Burgundy that produce world-famous white wines are Chablis, Côte de Beaune, and Mâconnais. The following chart will give you the breakdown of red and white wines production.
If it's any comfort to you, you need to know that all the great white Burgundies are made from 100 percent Chardonnay. And although they are made very differently, they have one common trait- they are dry.

What war on women?
POSTED: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 - 5:15pm
UPDATED: Friday, August 9, 2013 - 2:39pm
Tyler, Texas (KETK) — Let's talk about the so-called "war on women."
From what I've seen this past two weeks, Gloria Allread should be screaming along with many other involved in women's rights.
You have an ex-congressman, mayoral wanna-be sending lewd pictures and lying about it. Then, caught lying about it again.
Then, to me, the granddaddy of them all, is what is going on in San Diego.
You got a mayor there that has been charged with doing things to women and saying things to women I can't even say on tv.
Then, he says he's sorry and will go into treatment.
Funny thing is, he cannot now even be in a room with a woman alone after all these charges and now he wants the taxpayers to pay for his therapy.
But, despite eight or nine women coming forward with allegations, he still wants to be in office.
And, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Instead of all the women's groups and liberals wanting him thrown out on his ear, he's getting a pass.
Because, he votes left.
Read this, from Weasel Zippers, a news source named correctly for this segemnt:
"Francine Busby, Chair of that San Diego Democrat Party,told the New York Times that the party was giving Mayor Filner the "benefit of doubt" because they were so excited to have someone in office pushing a progressive agenda."
"Democrats aren't going to give him a pass, but may be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because we've waited so long, nearly 20 years, for a mayor who could put forward a progressive agenda," she said.
"But this doesn't erase what he's done," she said. "I don't know if it's enough at this point."
(Translation: Close your eyes and think of San Diego.)
This is hypocrisy.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Weiner has one credential that assures him a victory in New York, he is Jewish. Like Obama and his skin color, nothing else matters. Not that Obama was elected this way, he was not, but media used it as a narrative to justify his narrow victory over a really crumby GOP candidate. Our elections are a sham created by the programmable voting machine, battleground states, and a media narrative to explain the outcome. This cycles narrative for the already decided Hillary, gender wars. It's all fake.
Snydergal : The poster-child of "Indoctrinated".
"Snydergal"...."poster child" for those who think for themselves, discern truth from fiction/lies, who understand this country is made up of all colors/faiths/beliefs/ethnicities, who believe in fairness for ALL Americans, who will continue to speak out against injustice, who will not allow slander or ethnic slurs to go unchallenged...we are all afforded the right to free speech, so ramble on...yours will not be a one-sided conversation.Think on this, sheila...yours is the indoctrination of hate
Has anyone considered that this guy may be an actual psychopath? He shows all the signs. A lack of empathy and concern for other people. The ability to look at people as mere objects. Egotistical, self centered, lacking remorse for what they've done. Consciously manipulating and deceiving people for his own gain. Pathological lying, the ability to mimic the appropriate emotion when caught.
Sounds like a lot of business and political leaders. Watch " I Am Fishhead" on You Tube some time.
If a Republican had done 1 percent of what Wiener did he would have had to resign. But Wiener is a democrat and his wife a good friend of Hillary.
Democrats wage war on women of the insidious kind:
"Is there a war on women?" http://malemattersusa.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/is-there-a-war-on-women/
See this as an example of the real war, an ideological feminist war on men: "The very worst Canadian feminists in action" at http://malemattersusa.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/the-very-worst-canadian-f...
As one pendant put it, Clinton opened the door to this with the argument that it isn't our business. Even if the act was in a public office, if the woman was assaulted or worse, it's okay. We have no right to ask, to accuse, to investigate. Unless of course it's a GOP. Then even a false accusation is absolute proof of a hainess crime against all women.

Girls 1st XV Rugby - 1st Game v Te Kauwhata
For our first game of the season you couldn't pick a better day. It was the girls first game together and for many their first rugby game ever.
Te Kauwhata scored the opening try. This pulled all the girls together and they came back with enthusiasm and agression. Waihi came back straight away and scored a few minutes later. It was a hard fought game with Waihi scoring the last try in the final minute. Waihi had a total of 6 tries and Te Kauwhata scored 4.
Ariana Bayler - 4 tries, 2 conversions
Katrina Donald - 1 try
Angie Sowerby - 1 try
Player of the day was Erin Sims.
Overall it was a great home game with heaps of supporters!

Anyone think the timing of the Friday terror alert and the breaking Benghazi and Snowden stories is coincidental? I don't
Submitted by kevinkervick on Sat, 08/03/2013 - 08:23The NY Times story was clear to say that the supposed plot was discovered via "electronic communications". Right. Now that everyone knows the NSA is tapping everything everywhere, why would senior Al Quaeda use electronic communications for big events? Something smells.
If this happened under Bush the Times headline would have been, "Bush Administration tries to distract Americans from scandals with Friday afternoon terror alert" Scumbags.
The Obama admin always releases a juicy story on Friday afternoon to force weekend media to cover it. Let's see if anyone has the balls to stay with the Benghazi gun running this weekend. Come on CNN. Do your job.

Red State front page guy agrees with us
Ockham's Razor compels me to call bull**** on this particular terrorism alert and to offer a simpler explanation: that this threat to our embassies simply does not exist.
The only evidence proffered in defense of this ridiculous exercise at playing Chicken Little is the word of the Administration. I, for one, can think of nothing this bunch of cretins and incompetents has done that makes their word credible.
Rather than looking at some cosmic, epic, and existential threat that requires some embassies to shut down for one day… are the jihadis really going to say, "gee, I showed up for my martyrdom mission on Sunday and no one was there so I'm going home?" … we should look for something much more simple.
After Edward Snowden's attempted defection to Communist China and actual defection to neo-Tsarist Russia and the accompanying revelations of what the NSA has been up to, there has been immense pressure on the Administration to place limits on the activities of the NSA. The secretive FISA Court is under attack by even Senate Democrats. Many questions are being asked about what communications the NSA intercepts, how those decisions are made, and how the product is safe guarded. To date all evidence indicates the NSA makes up these rules as it goes along.
What better way to put an end to this rising tide of concern about civil liberties than to have the NSA suddenly develop intelligence that causes 22 US embassies to close for a day or a week. There, they seem to be saying, doesn't your silly concern about your rights as citizens and the danger to the republic unsupervised eavesdropping constitutes seem small and petty against THIS HUGE THREAT?
The Administration may actually be worried about national security. That would be a welcome change from its actions since taking office in 2009. To date the focus of the Administration has been on destroying our credibility with our with allies, making us look ridiculous to our enemies, and seemingly missing no chance to reduce American influence in the world.
A more cynical observer would posit that the political leadership of the NSA is abusing its ability to monitor communications in the same way that the IRS abused its ability to review the status of non-profits and the Obama Administration wants to retain the ability to abuse its power to punish its opponents.
The bottom line is that the only evidence there that a threat actually exists is the Administration's word. That requires us to ignore the entire history of the Obama regime. On the other hand, the Administration has shown it will instinctively lie to protect itself and the attention direct at the NSA is a threat to the ability of Obama to operate without concern for the rule of law. Logic says they are lying.

There seems to be more and more "anomalies" around the case of Edward Snowden....not the man, but the people around him.
Am I wrong in having a deep suspicion that Wikileaks is a whistle blower back stop for the CIA? Is it a trap for people who want to protect The Constitution?
Why do all the people around Snowden belong to powerful groups that have their own agenda?
Was it a mistake to research Bruce Fein, Richard Gingras, Amelia Chilcott Fawsett, or Snowdens Russian Lawyer, his wikileaks lawyer, RTV, The Guardian, Salon.com, Greenwald?

I've seen that video several times and find it breathtaking. I am a mental health professional interested in intervening at the level of culture to change hearts and minds and help more people find happiness. My own work is a reverse propaganda effort, if you will, to counteract the efforts of the world communists and the entrenched American oligarchy. I operate on a small scale but on several fronts for freedom and the true American way of life. I know many of you do as well - and are motivated by Dr. Paul.
There is some progress being made but more people need to put something on the line to battle this powerful foe that is among us:
If this group appeals to you please feel free to contact me:
This group promotes common sense conservatism as synthesized by Kevin Kervick in his book, Discovering Possibility: A Common Sense Conservative Manifesto (For Classical Liberals Too). We are counter- revolutionaries offering an alternative narrative to the politically correct dogma that is promoted by Progressives and Cultural Marxists in academia, the national media, and their various think tanks and community organizations. At the same time, we also reject the decidedly religious alternatives that are promoted by many traditional conservatives. Finally we also disagree with Libertarians because we find their philosophy lacks an appreciation for the importance of culture, order, and tradition. If the ideas are confusing to you it is because they represent a new paradigm. Please visit our website (above and below) for information about our values and methods.
This is an organization for philosophical conservatives who can make moral arguments based on reason rather than emotion or appeals to identity. We wish to restore the constitutional principles that made the United States exceptional and have unfortunately been steadily eroded for over a century. Our focus is restoring the civil society by limiting government and restoring virtue.
While religion and the right to bear arms are critical to most Conservatives, we believe there are many other forums that advance those aspects of the conservative identity. And, while gun rights, gay rights, and drug freedom are important to most Libertarians, there are also many other forums that advance those causes as part of the Libertarian identity. Therefore, limited government Jeffersonian types will feel at home here. Progressives, secessionists, conspiracy theorists, religion and gun fundamentalists, libertines, and anarcho-capitalists may not. We do not wish to be all things to all people.
We believe it is important to use person to person community activism to change the culture. In the past, conservatives have relied too heavily on electoral politics. We believe if we can change the narratives that create meaning, the politicians will follow us. Thus, our focus is the community itself and our methods are education, infiltration, and social marketing. These methods have previously been the purview of the left. We hope to change that.
The Common Sense Community Builders program is a community education and capacity building program developed by Kevin Kervick. It embraces traditional community building methodology within a cutting edge common sense framework. The common sense framework is inspired by limited government communitarianism. That means it promotes personal virtue and voluntary neighborliness rather than government programs or professionalization. It favors deconstruction, decentralization, and localism in order to build community capacity. The program encourages freedom, personal responsibility, neighborliness, and thrift.

I have been lucky, thank you, parents
Well, I have been very very lucky on this end, thanks to the parent, especially the father, first, then the step father.
Although it took me time to really understand why in early to mid teenage, they have always pushed me to question systematically and especially what I would learn in public schools (mandatory) about everything that wouldn't be hard sciences or french grammar (my mom was a lawyer secretary, she made sure I care about language). They knew darn well about the locks owned by the socialists over most of the 1980s and 90s french society.
They also encouraged me, by leaving me a lot on my own regarding my interests and progress, to learn from my own mistakes, to try and discard, and to invest myself in whatever studies I would choose, and to compete as best as I could with kids of wealthier/better educated families in the topics I liked most at least. Comp. languages and logics eventually spoke to me :)
Nevertheless, I confess ever since I started working, I stayed mostly politically apathetic up until I relocate to the US and I first heard about Ron Paul, in 2010.

I believe Bezmenov couldn't of course predict the future, so was a bit inaccurate in his "stage of bringing the country to edge of crisis".
I think in the case America it is only taking more time than expected by the new marxists in power - "those we are stuck with", Bloomberg, Feinstein, Pelosi, Lee, et al, not to mention their corporate crony buddies bribing them - to generalize the crises throughout all the layers and parts of the american society.
But, for how much longer... ? I think the clock is REALLY ticking now, when you see (or guess) what is actually going on at the head of the state... :(

Btw, listen to what Dr. Paul says at mark 3mins30secs on "where the 'revolution' really is..."
I have the weakness to believe (albeit speculatively) that Dr. Paul knew about and took Bezmenov's warnings very seriously on the rotting process and the only way to have a chance to reverse it...

I thought about that
I thought about that scenario, about a month or so ago.
Well, if you allude to a massive global psy-op (?)
That was tough to wrap my head around it, but I eventually discarded it.
Not because of the too far fetched (because that wouldn't be)... But because of the degrees of improvisation and unpredicatility we've seen it has generated, in apathetic minds, or even servile medias...
Serious, no one can be surprised by the narrative the latter serve us...
But if you look closer, really close, maybe it will strike you as it did to me...
That's gross. Too gross. They had no preparation time whatsoever.
The state and big corpo serve them the bs to regurgitate real time, patching with stories and faked outrage and accusations of treason, pretty much improvised or with next to zero prepa.
They had no master plan, that is my belief.
I think Edward is genuine.
That doesn't mean he hasn't made mistake himself in delivering the truth... But, my point is:
probably nobody but him knew it would ever happen.

Why does a a global psy-op have to be massive?
This has been done before to bring about WW2. All the relevant players for the Military Industrial Banking Cartel know what to do.
I can't believe that they would not cover their arse for "leakers".
And setting up a safe haven is the most logical way to do it.

I was only alluding to the fact
I was only alluding to the fact that, whether it was planned or not, Snowden's dissidence and challenging the USSA gov't has gone, well... global, that's all.
I heard they did hear about it, too, all throughout Europe, with sometimes very similar or novelty pack of lies in the "free press" to try discredit the (IMO) whistleblower.
I can and could read French newspapers ever since mid June, it's sometimes even more comical (if I dare say) than what I see or hear here, in the US.
(Correction, that's rather depressing, in fact.)

I think it was planned
and they were either waiting for some one to come along, or more likely, have "handled" Mr Snowden into being a patriotic whistle blower, whilst at the same time using him as an unwitting Geo Political Pawn.
Here's my take on it; Julian Assange the enigmatic "poster child" for Wikileaks, Bradly Manning, the "deterrent' and Edward Snowden, the "pawn".
I have done a complete 360 degree turn on Wikileaks....I don't trust them at all, and feel that it is a covert CIA operation.

Substitute the word COWARD for Trror.
Everytime you hear them say trror alert, in your mind substitute the word COWARD. I.e. COWARD ALERT.
It really reveals their agenda, helps keep yourself deprogrammed an in tune to some of the subtler messages they are broadcasting as subtext to their COWARD ALERTS.
It also helps others deprogram. No one wants to be a coward, but everyone gets afraid. It's an odd duality.

On terrorism, purges deportations & "unpersons" in 10 paragraphs
On terrorism, purges, deportations, and "unpersons" (Yezhov photograph) - in ten paragraphs, and about 2 years only, 1937 and 1938 :
[...] Stalin personally signed 357 proscription lists in 1937 and 1938 that condemned to execution some 40,000 people, and about 90% of these are confirmed to have been shot. At the time, while reviewing one such list, Stalin reportedly muttered to no one in particular: "Who's going to remember all this riff-raff in ten or twenty years time? No one. Who remembers the names now of the boyars Ivan the Terrible got rid of? No one." In addition, Stalin dispatched a contingent of NKVD operatives to Mongolia, established a Mongolian version of the NKVD troika, and unleashed a bloody purge in which tens of thousands were executed as "Japanese Spies." Mongolian ruler Khorloogiin Choibalsan closely followed Stalin's lead [...]

CNNs " job" is to provide cover for the politicians, who in return, provide cover for " the real owners of this country...(it's a big club, and you ain't in it!".
Now that the long con is well established...it's time to take advantage of it's position in the public mind. Either they " foil" something (which they probably created), or the shadow group perpetrates something horrible and say that if they had more power they could have prevented it.

One thing about the Snowden
One thing about the Snowden saga I think is a tad strange. At every little move, there has been a huge swarm of media at the airport to follow him. How come they didn't follow him now that he got a passport and left the airport?
- Login to post comments
The swarm, from when he met Amnesty at the terminal,
Was because it had been broadcast/publicized that the meeting would happen. He is quite the story. Naturally, there would be swarms of media there. He didn't leave the terminal when they were there, it wasn't till weeks after. It isn't like the swarm was camped out at the terminal waiting. There was an announcement he was going to leave, but it wasn't till days later he left.

I watched the video and liked it. It's good. His points are good.
But you're labeling everyone who votes, period, as a traitor?
His point was if you vote for someone who advocates immoral policies you are a 'bad' American. He doesn't seem to even entertain the possibility that there can be someone worth voting for, who will uphold all the ideals and replace someone who doesn't. Am I a traitor if I vote for someone who will uphold the constitution, advocate for individual freedom, and free markets? Not at all.

Ron Paul warned of the intervention in foreign countries. These civilians are getting angrier every day (see drone strikes). If some other country was doing this to your family, how would you feel?

The user community will also use the portal to share utilities and code developed by them to compliment or augment the PHINMS functionality. Public Health Information Network (PHIN) - PHIN MS. Overview Many organizations work together to protect and advance the public's health.
These organizations operate a wide variety of public health information systems and need to reliably exchange critical and sensitive data among their disparate systems. Rather than attempting to integrate the various systems, organizations typically create messages that can be exchanged over the Internet with a variety of partners. Public Health Information Network (PHIN) LOINC. Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) is a database and universal standard for identifying medical laboratory observations.
It was developed and is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute, a US non-profit medical research organization, in 1994. LOINC was created in response to the demand for an electronic database for clinical care and management and is publicly available at no cost. It is endorsed by the American Clinical Laboratory Association and the College of American Pathologists. Since its inception, the database has expanded to include not just medical and laboratory code names, but also: nursing diagnosis, nursing interventions, outcomes classification, and patient care data set. Function[edit] RELMA — LOINC. Regenstrief LOINC Mapping Assistant The Regenstrief Institute provides a Windows-based mapping utility called the Regenstrief LOINC Mapping Assistant (RELMA) to facilitate searches through the LOINC database and to assist efforts to map local codes to LOINC codes.
Like the LOINC database, this program is also available for free. Should I Download RELMA or Just Use the Online Search Application? Short Answer: If you are curious about LOINC, and just want to explore, the best place to start is probably the web-based LOINC search application.If you want to map your local codes to LOINC, we recommend downloading the full version of RELMA.

In concert: Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds at DAR Constitution Hall
By Chris Klimek
Fifty years ago, British primatologist Jane Goodall arrived in what is now Tanzania to observe the behavior of chimps in the wild, discovering them to be creatures of far greater intellectual and emotional sophistication than the scientific community had believed. Twenty years ago, Dave Matthews put a band together in Charlottesville, one that became enormously popular while affirming the frat boys who formed his core audience are no more sophisticated than anybody thought.
Okay, so it isn't just frat boys (current and expired) who dig Matthews's slurry, swampy, rhythm n' stew: Like it or not, Matthews is pop's biggest draw of the 21st century by total tickets sold. At DAR Constitution Hall last night, Matthews marshaled his cult for good, performing a career-spanning acoustic-duo gig with frequent sidekick Tim Reynolds to benefit the Jane Goodall Institute's conservation efforts.
Before opening the 145-minute concert with a sober "Bartender," Matthews walked onstage to wild cheers with his arm around the 76-year-old, still-radiant Goodall, who implored followers of "my friend David" to donate and agitate, saying we're supposed to borrow the Earth from our children, but we've been stealing it instead.
That was it for eloquence or activism. Matthews reminded fans they could give money via text throughout the show, but mostly reserved his patter for repetitive jokes about his various body odors, his hairline, and so many baffling shout-outs to a particular feminine hygiene product you'd have thought its makers were sponsoring his imminent tour. When it comes to crass hilarity, you, Sir, are no John Mayer, despite the superior pliability of your guitar-face.
But you are a crowd-pleaser, and the audience, more accustomed to seeing you from farther away, greeted each song with shrieks. Matthews's irreverent persona contrasted sharply with the intensity of the musicianship: On tunes like "Save Me" or Daniel Lanois's magnificent "The Maker," both performers appeared to travel somewhere otherworldly (Reynolds's eyes actually rolled back in his head), which gave their partnership a visceral lure that rendered songcraft at least temporarily beside the point.

If I don't have work study in my financial aid package, can I still work?
Due to the number of work study students vs. the number of jobs available, there are limited jobs that can be considered payroll for students who do not have work study in their financial aid package. Departments with jobs that require a special skill or talent may be able to hire students as payroll if someone with work study is not available to take the position. These positions are ones such as tutoring a foreign language, computer tech positions, teaching assistant positions, building sets or sewing costumes for plays in the Theatre department, raising support from alumni, life guarding, playing a musical instrument, etc. All departments intending to hire a student for a payroll position must submit an appeal through the Student Employment Office for approval, however. Also, if a department has not filled all of its positions by October 1st, the department can hire a payroll student ONLY until the end of the semester. At semester break the position needs to be opened back up to a student with work study in his/her financial aid package.
If hired, is there anything I need to do before I will be authorized to start working?
Yes, United States law requires anyone who is employed to complete the I9/W4 employment forms. You will need to show documents that establish both identity and eligibility to work in the United States before the forms will be considered complete. Examples of acceptable forms that establish identity include: a school ID, driver's license, state ID or a passport. Examples of forms that establish eligibility to work in the U.S. include social security card, birth certificate, or a passport. A complete list of documents is listed on the back side of the I9 form. Federal regulation states that the documents must be the original, with exception of the birth certificate which must be a certified copy if not the original. Copies and faxes cannot be accepted.
Where can I find these required employment forms?
The Financial Aid Office will have these forms. As an incoming student with work study as part of your financial aid package however, these forms will be sent home during the summer.
Where can I find out what jobs are available?
Most jobs on campus are classified as work study. Work study is a type of need based aid that is awarded based on financial need and will be listed in your award letter if you qualify for the award. Available positions will be posted on the job website located in the Student Employment section on the Financial Aid website. Jobs are not guaranteed as students must secure a position on their own.
How many hours can I work per week?
Typically students are awarded a student employment amount of $2400 for the school year. In order to earn this amount over the course of the school year, a student will need to work 10 hours per week, or 145.5 hours per semester or 291 hours for the school year. If a student works more than 10 hours per week, once the $2400 amount is earned, the student will be notified that his/her work study amount has been earned and will be asked to stop working. A student can choose to work less than 10 hours per week if they are not concerned with earning the maximum award, however. It is up to the student and his/her family. (Please refer to the student employment handbook for more information on the student employment program).
Can I work more than one campus job?
It depends. Holding two work study positions is allowed if the student is splitting the 10 hours between two departments, or picking up extra hours because he/she has fallen behind in earnings toward the financial aid package award. Otherwise typically students are allowed to work only one 10 hour per week job but occasionally students who are working a 10 hour per week work study job are also requested to work one of the specialty payroll jobs mentioned earlier. If it is approved, the student is allowed to work both jobs but can only work up to 5 hours at the second approved position if working the full 10 hours with the work study job. Only on rare occasions through an appeal process is a student allowed to hold two 10 hour per week positions that are considered work study only jobs.
How much will I get paid?
Illinois Wesleyan University pays the Illinois minimum wage rate which is currently $8.25 per hour.
How often will I get paid?
Students receive payment once per month during the school year and bi-weekly in the summer. The pay date for the school year is currently on the tenth of each month or the Friday before if the tenth falls on a weekend.
Where can I pick up my checks?
If students do not opt to have their checks directly deposited to their bank accounts, paychecks are available in the Business Office, located at 109 Holmes Hall. Please be prepared to present a picture ID for verification before the check will be released.

For those of you, like me, who don't think every "thought" (I'm being charitable there) that pops into somebody's head merits a thread, I've created this thread. Any miscellaneous news items, experiences, etc. that you find interesting and wish to comment on, can go here. I do ask that the usual couple characters not insert their inane ramblings here, though. Keep creating threads for them, if you must, but I'd like this thread to stick to reality, not your garbage. ----------- What spurred this today was my most recent experience with a government agency in my business. Just though I'd share to give some of the folks who haven't run businesses an idea of the kind of things I look at as a business owner and see as too much government, and/or government run poorly. This AM I get a voicemail from a state office of employment services. (This is a borderline state re red v blue, btw) The woman gives me her first name, tells me she's calling about a former employee, and refers to some deadlines for paperwork. She doesn't give a phone number, extension, email address, employee # or last name. She does provide a fax # for us to send any information by today's "deadline." The kicker: I have no idea what she's talking about. We haven't received any paperwork from the agency about this employee. As a result, I have no idea what paperwork the woman is referring to or any deadlines or what we're being asked to provide. I go online to try to track down a phone #. The only # listed doesn't give options for what I'm calling about or any way to reach a live person. I eventually track down a # that has her same prefix, but I repeatedly receive a message saying they are experiencing call volumes and should call back later. No option to hold or transfer, it just disconnects you. After wasting 45 minutes of my day, I'm done (I don't use faxes anymore, and in any case, they're hardly well suited to actual communication b/t 2 parties) -- though I now have a nagging thought in my head re what this might be about, all thanks to an inept bureaucracy and a bureaucracy's inept employee. Thanks, state government!
As innefficient as State Government can be, do not generalize... I am very concerned today as I see Bolton's name being thrown out as a Secretary of State, if so can Wolfowitz be far behind?? In either case if true, we will at war again within the next 24 months... and we will be involved for another ten years. Is Cheney the puppetmaster?? The economy will stay in the ****ter and we will blame Barney Frank or whoever succeeds him...
well, this isn't exactly my first experience dealing with this, or other, state agencies (same goes for local goverenments) It's not a good sign when any positive experience is viewed as a pleasant surprise, and that absolutely has been my experience w/various government agencies at various levels. (btw, that's certainly not limited to government. There are plenty of companies I detest dealing with. The critical differences are that dealing with those companies is generally my choice, and those companies have no authority over anything I do. for all I know this agency will try to fine me for not meeting their "deadline" -- on whatever it is they want from me.)
Too bad you don't send faxes....I'd send one stating "To the idiot who called me, please call me back!" I think that would not only be appropriate, it would be the right thing to do.
Since this is a catch-all thread about thoughts that pop into our heads.... ever wonder where people get their driving habits? My peeves are Massachusetts-based, but prolly apply elsewhere. Why do people thinks it's ok to - not to stop at a STOP sign? - Drive in the passing lane and not drive faster than the other lanes? - Think it's ok NOT to turn right on red when the sign says "Right on Red"? - Speed up when you try to pass them? - Pull out of a side street and make you hit the brakes hard when there are no cars behind you? Then there is my favorite driver...THE REGULATOR. These people drive in the passing lane at the speed limit only to slow down other drivers. I feel much better!
It's not just governments - here's an excerpt from a recent phone call with our local cable provider - the one who switched to a new cable box system and "forgot" to notify roughly half of their customers. After waiting 6 days for the new boxes to come I was trying to install them and it needed a phone call to a computer to complete. "Are you having trouble getting your cable television to work?" "Yes." "Please disconnect the cable connection from the back of the television, wait 60 seconds and reconnect it. We will then be able to run a test right here in the office to determine if your cable connection has been successful. Do not hang up. It is important for you to complete Step 2 before terminating this phone call." "Ok. Done." "Thank you. We are now going to run a check on your connection. This may take a few minutes to complete. Do not hang up. Please be advised that if Comcast also supplies your phone service there is a high likelihood that this call will automatically disconnect. We apologize for this inconvienence." Dial tone. The best part is - if you call back and manage to figure out how to bypass the automated system and get a live person that person will, very apologetically, tell you that a live person cannot complete a connection, only the computer can complete a connection - and if you have Comcast as your phone provider, the computer glitches and disconnects you. But they're working on it.......
Good thread chico and I agree with you that State government leaves a lot to be desired. My thought today was how many GOP candidates are going to attend The Donald's debate. At last count I think only Santorum and Newt are going to show up.
Yes, all of those people suck. I'm not sure yet (b/c I'm not back east enough anymore), but I think LA drivers are worse than Mass. And by "worse" I don't mean aggressive, I mean doing things that make them appear clueless at best, and are dangerous at worst. This afternoon's driving peeve: people in parking lots who sit and wait forever for somebody to leave a space, even though there are plenty of other spaces around the lot. They just create traffic jams in the lot. (Disclaimer: I'm not saying this about people at Christmas, for example, or if the lot tells you there are few spaces left -- then it's perfectly fair to wait for the spot when somebody's getting to their car, imo.) They typically then require a 5- to 7-point turn to get into said spot. Oh, and they're women. ( just kidding, Mrs)
Support for my own belief that personal regulation is a significant problem in our country: there are now an estimate 4,500 federal crimes on the books (up from 3 in the Constitution) (source: today's WSJ)
more from the journal (last week) Chuck and Stephanie Fromm of San Juan Capistrano, CA were fined $300 for violating an ordinance prohibiting groups of 3 or more from gathering without a permit, after hosting periodic bible studies for up to 50 people (btw, that town is in Orange County -- a pretty conservative part of California)
DEAR ABBY: 'I have always wanted to have my family history traced, but I can't afford to spend a lot of money to do it. Any suggestions?' Brent in California DEAR BRENT : 'Register as a Republican, and run for public office.' Abby
Good for Californians...you guys have too many instances of cults. This could have prevented a new one from beginning!
Want to be fair with the state employees... Yesterday we received the paperwork in the mail. There was in fact a phone number, and not only did it not cut me off, it also told me a wait time, the wait time was minimal, and it proved to be accurate. The woman I then spoke with was very helpful, expressed her own frustration with the way the paperwork pigeonholes employment situations, listened well, etc. So here's the good to go with the bad.
:wha: Do I need to get a permit to have people over on Christmas Eve now? What about a birthday party? Good grief.
yup... now, to be fair again, the column went into issues of zoning regulations, etc., and brought up legitimate issues such as parking in neighborhoods. But it seems to me that if the concern is somebody regularly having gatherings that take up all parking in a neighborhood, that's what you make the law about, or you go to some form of permit system.

GAMING NEWSCapcom Believes It Can Balance Action And Horror In Resident Evil 6Posted on Friday, September 21 @ 13:56:56 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
Resident Evil 6 doesn't appear to be scary. I wonder what Capcom has to say about that. During an interview with GamaSutra, Executive Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi explained that his team working on Resident Evil 6 believes they have struck a balance between horror and action. I wholeheartely disagree. The moment you add as much adrenaline-rich gameplay, chaotic noise, and character effectiveness as Resident Evil 6 provides to a game, all hope for horror is lost. Sure, you might have a lurker or two pop out from a window, but how often can you do that before the player finds it obnoxious? Then again, Resident Evil hasn't been frightening in years. That's especially disappointing because when I was a child playing the original two installments I could have sworn that better graphics would have made the game's far more ripe with friction. However, all we have to show for it is co-op and some multiplayer modes. What a missed opportunity. More from the Game Revolution Network comments powered by Disqus |

Italy hospital: Gandolfini died of cardiac arrest
ROME (AP) – A friend of James Gandolfini says the actor was discovered by a family member after he suffered an apparent heart attack in his hotel room in Rome. He was 51.
Michael Kobold, who described himself as a close family friend, read a short statement to reporters Thursday and said little more about the circumstances of Gandolfini's fatal attack. He did not say who discovered Gandolfini.
Gandolfini, star of "The Sopranos," was pronounced dead of cardiac arrest at a Rome hospital late Wednesday night. Gandolfni had appeared in advertisements for Kobold's company, Kobold Watches.

Faculty: Professors Schaefer (chair), Aberle, Albrecht, Claus, Cook, Crenshaw, Gianola, Khatib, Kirkpatrick, Parrish, Reed, Richards, Rosa, Thomas; Associate Professor Sindelar; Assistant Professors Berres, Fadl
The UW–Madison Department of Animal Sciences consistently ranks among the best Animal Sciences departments in the country and was recently ranked #1 by the Chronicle of Higher Education. Degrees include master of science (research or academic track) in animal sciences and doctor of philosophy with a major in animal sciences or in an interdisciplinary program.
The department emphasizes in vivo and in vitro studies that probe relationships at a fundamental mechanistic level as well as addressing current practical issues in animal agriculture. Studies may often employ the use of livestock or laboratory animals, or both, as subjects. Development of an individual course of study is flexible in order to meet the needs of students with varied interests. Graduates find employment in academic teaching and research, in professional veterinary or medical degree programs, in industrial research in the food and feed industries, in laboratory research programs with governmental and international agencies, private corporations, and in industrial or institutional management positions requiring a high level of scientific training.
The department is based in the Animal Sciences Building, which contains facilities for teaching and research, including a Computing and Biometry Laboratory and the Biological and Biomaterials Preparation Imaging and Characterization Facility. Nearby are the Livestock Laboratory, a state-of-the-art facility, and the Muscle Biology Laboratory. Teaching, research, and project assistantships are available to qualified students. Fellowships, scholarships, and traineeship awards are available from federal training programs, research grants, gifts and trusts, and special program funds.
Students may choose to focus on the areas of: nutrition, rumen microbiology, aquaculture, reproductive physiology-endocrinology, genetics, animal breeding, muscle biology, meat science, cell biology, animal health, immunity and toxicology, or international agriculture. Considerable opportunity for study exists in joint programs with bacteriology, toxicology, biochemistry, the interdepartmental graduate program in nutritional sciences, genetics, endocrinology, reproductive physiology training program, food science, physiology, agricultural and applied economics, biometry, cellular and molecular biology, pharmaceutical sciences, chemical and biological engineering, bio engineering, comparative biosciences and anatomy.
The area of nutrition involves a joint degree with the Department of Animal Sciences and either the Department of Nutritional Sciences or the Department of Biochemistry. Usually, students work with professors from both departments so fundamental concepts complement practical applications. Ruminant nutrition candidates often minor or have a joint major in the Department of Bacteriology. Nutritional research ranges from field studies to laboratory biochemical studies.
The endocrinology-reproductive physiology area ranges from hormonal studies with livestock, primates, and laboratory animals to biochemical studies at the cellular level including stem cell biology. These studies include mechanism of gene action, physiological genetics, in vitro maturation, fertilization, embryo development, cloning and gene transfer, neuroendocrinology, and the environmental and genetic control of puberty and postpartum anestrus.
The genetics-animal breeding focus includes a variety of areas from immunogenetics and molecular genetics to quantitative and population genetics. The animal breeding program seeks to develop, evaluate, and apply classical, quantitative, biochemical, and physiological genetics toward improving animal breeding techniques. Studies range from theoretical considerations of quantitative genetics to laboratory experimentation on genetic controls of growth and reproduction, gene transfer and cloning to field experimentation on producer herds and flocks. Candidates may minor in several areas including genetics, statistics, physiology, or biochemistry.
Meat science and muscle biology studies probe the relationship of muscle structure, composition, and metabolism to growth, the contractile function, and meat quality. Similar studies related to adipose tissue are included. This fundamental research is applied to muscle efficiency and improved retail meat quality and composition.
The area of cellular biology, animal health, immunity, and toxicology includes basic research which seeks to develop an understanding of cellular/subcellular structure and function, cell regulation, and cell-cell interactions. Cell function, as it relates to mechanisms of immunity and the effects of natural and synthetic compounds, forms the basis for investigations using in vitro and in vivo, whole animal, model systems. Results of fundamental studies are directly applicable and coordinated with ongoing applied research programs in animal and human health.
Students with satisfactory undergraduate training in any biological science including emphasis on basic science courses will have suitable backgrounds for graduate studies in animal science. Typically students admitted to the program have GPAs of 3.2 or higher; candidates with a lower GPA may be considered for admission under special circumstances. Admission decisions are based on academic record, GRE scores, three letters of recommendation, and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS), if applicable.
Students are admitted to the department if a faculty member agrees to accept the candidate into his or her research group and to provide laboratory/desk space and research support, and upon the approval of the Animal Sciences Graduate Admissions Committee and the Graduate School. The faculty member also makes the decision of whether or not to offer a research assistantship to the candidate. International candidates in the master of science program rarely receive financial support.

For the estimation of the strength of a structure, one could avoid detailed elastoplastic analysis and resort, instead, to direct limit analysis methods that are formulated within linear programming. This work describes the application of the force method to the limit analysis of three-dimensional frames. For the limit analysis of a framed structure, the force method, being an equilibrium-based approach, is better suited than the displacement method and results, generally, to faster solutions. Nevertheless, the latter has been used mostly, since it has a better potential for automation. The difficulty for the direct computerization of the force method is to automatically pick up the structure's redundant forces. Graph theory concepts may be used to accomplish this task, and a numerical procedure was proposed for the optimal plastic design of plane frames. An analogous approach is developed herein for the limit analysis of space frames which is computationally more cumbersome than the limit analysis of plane frames. The proposed procedure results in hypersparse matrices, and in conjunction with the kinematic upper bound linear program which is solved by a sparse solver, the proposed method appears computationally very efficient. It is also proved that it is much more effective than any displacement-based formulation. The robustness and efficiency of the approach are testified by numerical examples for grillages and multi-storey frames that are included.

Analysis: With US leaders hoping for another 'old guard' ruler, here are three likely outcomes.
It is unwise to try to predict anything in Egypt these days, but there are several safe assumptions that can be made as Egyptians head to the polls Wednesday and Thursday to elect a civilian president in the first open and fair elections in Egypt's 7,000 year history.
Watching the dramatic uprising of Tahrir Square unfold as it did last year with the toppling of Hosni Mubarak changed everything.
A place that was known for at least three decades for its unbearable stasis was suddenly and radically transformed by the 'January 25 Revolution.'
And now, 15 months later, it's hard to overstate the momentousness of this election: What a new presidency and, eventually, a new constitution will mean for the role of the powerful Egyptian military going forward and what it will means for the civil rights of women, religious minorities, and a strong but dormant labor movement. The extent to which the Islamists — both the political party of the Muslim Brotherhood and the more puritanical Salafist movement — will shape the constitution and the future of the country.
With so much at stake, it is almost impossible to predict where this still 'unfinished revolution' is headed right now. But at the risk of being wrong, here are three safe assumptions:
The first is that this election will not produce a winner. The contest is almost certainly headed for a run-off vote starting June 16. Some analysts would argue that current polling, if it is even remotely accurate, mathematically guarantees that no candidate can receive the required 50 percent of the vote to win in this round of voting. If a candidate fails to take 50 percent, as the election rules state, then the two top candidates are to face each other in a run-off. So don't hold your breath. Just wait for June.
More from GlobalPost: Raw Feed Video: Egyptians prepare to vote
The second is that this will ultimately be a contest between the old guard and the Islamists. Although there are five leading candidates among the 13 names on the ballot, there are really only two choices available in this election. That is the "falool," Arabic for "a remnant" of the old regime. Or there are the Islamists who have emerged from the vast power base of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The third assumption is that the struggle for the future of Egypt has always been about the powerful grip the military holds over the country and has held for the last 60 years. So even the most optimistic of souls presume the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the group of generals who have been handed the direct rule of Egypt and its 80 million people during the period of transition from the uprising to this election, will not let go of its power – and its sprawling financial empire – any time soon.
Okay, so to get back to what is going to happen in this election, which will take place over the next two days. Counting all of the paper ballots by hand is expected to take closer to a month.
More from GlobalPost: In historic first, Egypt votes
On the ballot, there are three leading "falool," or "remnant" candidates who represent the old guard. They include:
Amr Moussa, 75, a former foreign minister under Mubarak and a former secretary-general of the Arab League. He has pitched himself as an elder statesmen who has sufficient separation from Mubarak. He points to his international standing and global contacts as a strength in helping to lead Egypt out of the political and economic crisis it has been since Mubarak was forced to step down. Most polls, including the venerable Al Ahram Center for Strategic and Political Studies, have Moussa as the front runner but his critics say he is an undeniable product of the regime.
Ahmed Shafik, 70, a former Air Marshal in the military and the last Prime Minister to serve under Mubarak in the dying days of the regime. He proudly boasts that he is on good terms with the Supreme Council of the Allied Forces and has vowed a strict crackdown on protesters. He seems to be appealing to a yearning in many more conservative corners of Egypt for an

In order to predict the future state of a quantum system, we generally do not need to know the past state of the entire universe, but only the state of a finite neighborhood of the system. This locality is best expressed as a restriction on how information "flows" between systems. In this talk I will describe some recent work, inspired by quantum cellular automata, about the information strucutre of local quantum dynamics.
In this talk, I will outline a quantum generalization of causal networks that are used to analyze complex probabilistic inference problems involving large numbers of correlated random variables. I will review the framework of classical causal networks and the graph theoretical constructions that are abstracted from them, including entailed conditional independence, d-separation and Markov equivalence.

Hi, There is something that is bothering and I want to know what does it mean? I got my transvaginal ultrasound results today and it says "obstructional intestinal gas bowel" I want to know what does this mean exactly? This Tuesday I'm having colonoscopy done and I'm definitely giving copies of these results to my GI doctor and what I'm wondering from here is will colonoscopy show the problem of what my ultrasound results are saying? Please let me know soon.
Thank You,
One more thing I want to say is your website here is working all garbled. I can't log in or log out and every image are in different places. I hope this gets fixed soon.
Hi Melissa6666,
I will let our IT department know about this problem.
