Timelessness is not easy to come by, but The New York Trilogy achieves this both in the writing and subsequent narration. Paul Auster's debut novella collection features a set of everyman characters in highly philosophical predicaments, and Joe Barrett voices their frustrated decision-making with a deep empathy that declines to mock the very absurd dilemmas in which the characters embed themselves. Barrett's is a well-oiled baritone, practiced in several of Audible's Paul Auster offerings as well as other new classics from their Modern Vanguard series.
He reads these three tales of psychological misgivings almost like an introspective Casey Kasem, laying down the Top 40 obsessions of one character after another, though the particulars all boil down to the same few human errors. All three stories feature a man who is both a writer and a detective, highlighting what happens to a mind left to work on a project in solitude for too long, with an emphasis on the quandaries of language and the roles of coincidence. There are no less than four characters named Peter Stillman, two named Daniel Quinn, and even one pretending to be Paul Auster. One character is named for a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel, and all characters find reason to become well-versed in Thoreau's Walden. Barrett is for the most part not called upon to do any fancy voice work for these innovative detective stories. His most remarkable feat comes quickly in the collection, during an early chapter in the first story, "City of Glass". One of the Peter Stillmans is a young man who was kept in a windowless room for his entire childhood. Barrett's lengthy chapter of monologue as this character is truly refined and heartbreaking an unforgettable masterpiece of stilted and sputtering refrains, paranoid and childish tones, eerie laughter and ugly detail. The second story, "Ghosts", is an exercise in interchangeable vocals and the loss of identity as White hires Blue to live on Orange Street and investigate Black. The third story, "The Locked Room", involves a man's duty toward the writing and family of a childhood friend who may or may not be dead.
Paul Auster is postmodernism at its best, changing the particulars in these three tales to create suspense and humor, but never losing sight of the sad and lonely threads that tie the three stories together. As a bonus with this book, there is a 15-minute interview with the author where James Atlas touches on many of the commonalities between this book and Auster's others. Auster intelligently discusses his use of New York as a setting, his interest in revealing the interior mental landscape of his characters, and the odd inspiration for using himself as a character. It's clear from Auster's responses that he took pains to write the inner life of characters in this collection with precision, and the result is appropriately narrated as such by Joe Barrett. Megan Volpert
City of Glass combines dark, Kafka-like humor with all the suspense of a Hitchcock film as a writer of detective stories becomes embroiled in a complex and puzzling series of events, beginning with a call from a stranger in the middle of the night asking for the author Paul Auster himself. Ghosts, the second volume of this interconnected trilogy, introduces Blue, a private detective hired to watch a man named Black, who, as he becomes intermeshed into a haunting and claustrophobic game of hide-and-seek, is lured into the very trap he has created.
The final volume, The Locked Room, also begins with a mystery, told this time in the first-person narrative. The nameless hero journeys into the unknown as he attempts to reconstruct the past which he has experienced almost as a dream. Together these three fictions lead the reader on adventures that expand the mind as they entertain.

©2006 Paul Auster; (P)2009 Audible, Inc.
"Auster harnesses the inquiring spirit any reader brings to a mystery, redirecting it from the grubby search for a wrongdoer to the more rarified search for the self." (New York Times Book Review)
"Eminently readable and mysterious....Auster has added some new dimensions to modern literature and – more importantly even – to our perspectives on the planet." (Boston Globe)
"By turning the mystery novel inside out, Auster may have initiated a whole new round of storytelling" (The Village Voice)
"Great Book of Pretentiousness"
This book is a little too much for a lot of people, but I like how Auster riffs on identity issues and then pairs it up with the classic icon of the private detective. If you're looking for something that will take you back to Chandler, this might not be up your alley, but if you're seeking something a bit experimental and somewhat quirky, check out the NYT.
"Trilogy York New The"
I truly welcome these recordings. Though, I have to admit, Auster's LEVIATHON is the real gem. But, all of his early books are deeply revealing. Starting with these three novellas. If you read all his early works in order, there is this umbrella...well, it...uh...it evolves from book to book. You'll see. This is great literature.
"Strange and Bizarre"
Being a native New Yorker, I love reading stories about New York, its people, its energy, its quirkiness. That's what attracted me to this trilogy. But these three novellas are just too, too bizarre. They read like a cross between The Twilight Zone and The Naked City. In fact, each would probably work better as a teleplay than as a novella. I finished the three being totally befuddled and disappointed.
Although the material left me cold, the production values were first rate. Very well read and produced with great sound listening at the enhanced level. Audible did a great job producing this version of the work.
"I just don't get the connections."
I am into self exploration. I love complexity, intrigue and an ending that I may have to participate in. I do not need to be told of all little details. This book starts cohesively with proper train of thought and use of language. As it evolves the language is there but it is absent of cogent meaning. Might as well be "word salad". Disconnected ideas that are supposed to have some higher meaning. Simply tell me who or what brings Wilson/Quinn/Auster(or whatever the protagonist wants to be called) the food when he's in Stillman's apartment. Am I being too concrete. If the purpose of this book is to raise questions about "who knows what" then it has achieved its goal. If its purpose was to raise issues about, identity, language or metafiction as other reviewers suggest or possibly allow for introspection, I believe it did and does not. Maybe the ultimate goal of the book is to increase confusion and to collect dust in my library. Job well done.
"A series of bland short stories"
Just didn't like it. Just didn't capture my imagination or my any part of any of my memories of NYC where I lived for 12 years.
Maybe it is partly because I just finished a Dostoevsky Classic, but the New York Trilogy was quite possibly the worst book I have ever read. I may have to rethink using the New York Times Book Review for download suggestions. It was so bad I almost strained my eyeballs rolling them so often at the juvenile and boring descriptions given by the author. I was angered often at the thought of paying money for this book. The only positive aspect in reading this drab waste of time is the encouragement of knowing that even though I have never actually written anything, I believe I could have written so much better without even trying...when I was 12!! If this guy didn't sleep with somebody to get his book published, then somebody needs to get out more.

Celebrity Sister Style Wars
Like most sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen swap closets, trading one oversized ensemble for the next. But Elizabeth Olsen would be hard pressed to squeeze into her older sisters' duds. The youngest Olsen stands a full head above her famous siblings, and prefers tailored, polished pieces on the red carpet. It's the classic battle of uptown classicism and dowtown chic, but this time over the dinner table.

You either find the Middletons to be extremely fascinating (ahem, Barbara Walters) or two sticks of boring with great hair on top. While Pippa dresses her butt-of-the-Gods in conservative and demure styles similar to Kate, the younger Middleton doesn't have a Queen fingering through her wardrobe. Pippa opts for knee-high boots over kitten heels (the horror!) and the occasional plunging neckline instead of collars and cardigans.

If you can tell Elle and Dakota Fanning apart, you can answer the question of who has better style. Both porcelain blondes favor neutral palettes from designers like Valentino who are heavy on ladylike frocks and lace galore. The effect? Either the look of sophisticated elegance or a ghostly washout.

Sienna and Savannah Miller are so stylish that they launched their own highly acclaimed fashion line, Twenty8Twelve, in 2007. The former Vogue cover girl favorites signature English style (sometimes polished, sometimes funky, always fashion-forward) while her fashion designer sister sports menswear pieces like a pro and rocks clean, tailored staples.

While Jessica Simpson, a near-billionaire fashion mogul in her own right, does her southern roots proud with flouncy dresses and hats fit for the Kentucky Derby, younger sister Ashlee struts edgy cropped do's and bohemian outfits.

The two Disney starlets can be spotted hand-in-hand on red carpets and L.A. sidewalks alike, but their styles are far less compatible. Hilary opts for fitted minis and glam sequins, while Hailey prefers laid-back, colorful cool.
Try on Hilary Duff's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
Paris Hilton isn't exactly synonymous with clothing, but her handbag-designing sister, Nicky, is an exemplar of California dressing. If Paris could spend her life in a Tinkerbell costume we're pretty sure she would (girl doesn't stop with the glitter and gowns) but Nicky's chic minimalist style more than makes up for her sister's faux pas.

Reality TV's first family shares a pension for animal print, fitted pencil skirts, and sky high Louboutins… which were all considered things of class before these ladies got their hands on them. While Khloe continues to dress for her two sisters' body types, Kim should buy stock in Herve Leger, and Kourtney needs to spend less time (and money) on her own wardrobe and start worrying about her boyfriend's.
Try on Kim Kardashian's hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!
If sibling similarities could be determined by style alone, we'd be calling for a Beyonce-Solange DNA test. Mrs. Jay-Z keeps her diva reputation strong as steel with couture gowns and over-the-top street style, but her younger sister expertly pairs urban prints and chic sportswear. If you need more evidence of the Knowles sisters' aesthetic differences, consider this: while Beyonce was leading the hair extension trend, Solange went all Britney on us and shaved her head!

The antiques throughout the Lobby and floors!
Food was nothing special.
Loved the location Beautiful!
A short drive to restaurants and stores. Nice view of Lake Superior.
We had a room on the ground floor, next to the side entrance. Though not excessive, it's impossible to ignore the noise from guests going in and out.
It was in a good location and it had a pretty good breakfast,and it was pretty quiet.
The only bad thing was our first room that we checked in at was kinda dirty like they didn't clean it.But they gave us a new room and it was clean,every thing else was pretty clean like the pool,hallway,and lobby area.
A room was available
The smell
Dirty AC did not work smelled
It was very clean and had some nice little touches and attention to details (like mints on the pillows, over abundance of towels, shampoo AND conditioner) that we hadn't found a lot of places lately. We have kids and got a room pool side (saw a lake side room too, the view was wonderful). I can imagine it could get loud in the room if there were a lot of people swimming, but we were there on a Monday and were the only ones using the pool most of the time, plus the hours are 9am-10pm so it would obviously be quiet during the time you are sleeping. The breakfast was good, fast, and very inexpensive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
Rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.
The hotel is one of the best we have stayed at. It was very clean and had a great breakfast. The staff was real friendly and very helpful.

Justices strike down citizenship provision in Arizona voter law
POSTED: Monday, June 17, 2013 - 8:57am
UPDATED: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 4:11pm
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a provision in Arizona's voter registration law that required proof of citizenship.
The 7-2 majority said the state's voter-approved Proposition 200 interfered with federal law designed to make voter registration easier.
The state called it a "sensible precaution" to prevent voter fraud. Civil rights group countered that it added an unconstitutional and burdensome layer of paperwork for tens of thousands of citizens.

I think the latter Mr Smith, you know there is something funny going on when in all 50 states it is against the law to go out in public without a state issued ID, you can be arrested and held for 72 hours for not carrying ID with you in public. So just why is it unconstitutional and burdensome for tens of thousands of citizens? The way I see it is if they don't have an ID then there probably not a citizen and need to be deported in the first place. Illegals are illegal any way you look at it.
So no papers?
Illegals (undocumented Democrats) vote?
Dead people vote?
Others vote multiple times?
All the while the IRS suppresses conservative groups from getting their message out to voters and God knows if the NSA gives data to the IRS and DOJ and others to spy on Republican, Tea Party, Libertarian members all for 'national security' reasons.
Is this a free country anymore or just a banana republic?

I'm a highly experienced and flexible software developer, with a strong focus on maintainability and portability (between different CPUs and operating systems). I also routinely deal with emerging issues, both in software and in the process for its development, before they become problems – whether this be cleaning up poorly-maintained code to make it more robust in the face of on-going development, imposing order on unruly build systems, ensuring traceability of licensing requirements on open source components or fostering the switch to improved tools when they become available. Together with learning my way around each code-base, this has made me one of the developers others routinely come to for help and advice.
I have been employed since the 1980s as a professional software engineer with incidental responsibilities ranging from training colleagues, user support and product documentation to UNIX system maintenance, language design and in-house tool development. I have a long history of noticing systemic problems, invisible to management, that hamper development – and getting them resolved.

By many accounts, Lonnie Richardson is the kind of public defender every poor kid in trouble deserves. He's earnest. He's energetic. He's good at his job. His bosses seemed to think so during the fourteen months he worked as a public defender, even giving him a generous raise this past October 8. Then he made a big mistake. But it wasn't in the courtroom; it was at an annual dinner party held at the Rusty Pelican on October 23. Richardson, a gregarious sort with the demeanor of an overgrown Boy Scout, unwittingly sat down at the wrong table.
Also at the table was a loosely knit group of restless young attorneys, including Gabriel Martin, who had decided to challenge the status quo in the office. Rumors circulated the previous day that Martin might run against Brummer, but Richardson, who barely knew Martin, hadn't heard them. During the dinner, according to several attorneys present, Brummer himself addressed the issue during a speech. "This dinner became my roast," Martin laughs. "He said that someone was rumored to be running and that it would be an evil that would divide the office." Also that evening, pro-Brummer bumper stickers were handed out and campaign donations were solicited.
Richardson was surprised and a little alarmed when, the next day, he found a bumper sticker waiting for him on his desk. He was anxious, so he went to executive public defender C. David Weed's office and made a $100 donation to Brummer's campaign, "just to be left alone." The following Monday, he alleges, his supervisor, Robert Aaron, called him into his office. Aaron reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out an endorsement card and threw it on the desk between them. "'I want you to sign that,'" Richardson claims he said. "You support Bennett Brummer, don't you?'" Richardson, who'd only been in the office a year, was uncomfortable, but he was already having misgivings about making the donation, so he didn't sign the card. Instead he threw his support to Gabriel Martin.
At the December 16 office Christmas party, Richardson says he was approached by Aaron and another senior attorney, Rory Stein. They accosted him for supporting Martin. "Mr. Aaron asked me: 'What did they offer you, $20,000?' I told him that it wasn't about money, it was about the way the office treated people and how it was run. Mr. Aaron then said, 'You're a fucking traitor who would sell me out for a dime.'" The pressure began to build steadily from there, according to his elections-commission complaint. Richardson participated in a Martin Luther King Day parade in which he exhorted crowds through a bullhorn to vote for Martin because it was time for a change. Brummer was nearby at the same parade. Seven days later, on January 26, Richardson was abruptly fired for "significant continuing performance deficiencies."
Lynn Overmann, age 31, another attorney in the office known to be supporting Martin, filed a complaint alleging that her supervisors repeatedly hassled her to sign an endorsement card and that two senior members of Brummer's staff held official meetings in the office to indoctrinate support staff about Brummer's campaign and Martin's shortcomings. Other supervisors printed out lists of Martin supporters and walked around the office with them, a tactic Overmann feels was designed to intimidate.
Alex Rundlet joined the public defender's office six months ago, after helping to establish a state-funded indigent-defense system in Georgia. He claims that in September, David Weed told assistant public defenders at a weekly meeting that there was an election coming up and they needed to help get "Re-elect Bennett Brummer" stickers on cars around the courthouse to discourage anyone else from running. "I was startled," Rundlet recalls. "I didn't think it was appropriate."
Then in November the 33-year-old Rundlet was in the middle of a misdemeanor DUI trial when Robert Aaron, who was also his supervisor, came into the courtroom and asked him to sign an endorsement card for Brummer. Rundlet says he was too busy to think much about it, so he signed and went back to his case. But it made him uneasy, so a couple of weeks later he told Aaron he couldn't support Brummer. He later said the same thing to Brummer himself at the MLK Day parade. Rundlet says he hasn't been harassed as a result of his support for Martin, but after Richardson was fired he decided to file elections and ethics complaints to protect his job. At least two other attorneys have also filed complaints with similar allegations regarding campaign pressure tactics employed by Brummer's top staff.
Brummer, whose taxpayer-funded salary is $136,284, declines to comment on specific allegations, citing possible litigation (Richardson has retained lawyers and may sue), but he does offer a general statement. "This is just another political smear tactic," he says. "Unfortunately this sort of thing is not uncommon a few months before an election. We intend to vigorously fight these accusations."

Airport News
Heathrow Airport reports busiest month ever
Wed, 11 Aug, 2010
The operator of London's Heathrow Airport BAA has reported figures indicating July was its busiest month ever.
July saw 6.7 million people making journeys through the airport, a 3.5 per cent increase on last year.
The airport also saw its busiest ever day on Sunday July 18th with over 230,000 passengers passing through its gates.
BAA also reported a slight traffic increase of 0.3 per cent across all its UK airports, rising to 10.9 million passengers in July.
The company named its fastest growing market for July as Europe, which saw an increase in traffic of just under three per cent. Long-haul traffic saw a rise of 0.5 per cent, with domestic traffic 4.6 per cent lower than last year.
While Heathrow Airport's traffic rose, the total number of air transport movements for BAA's UK airports saw a decrease of 0.4 per cent when compared with the same period last year.
The news comes in the wake of BAA announcing the sale of its US retail contracts earlier in the month. The company claimed this was part of an ongoing strategy to divest their non-core assets.

"Death at a Funeral"
In Chris Rock's newest film, Death at a Funeral, the multiple Emmy- and Grammy-award winning comedian stars as the eldest son charged with bringing (and keeping) the family together after its patriarch dies.
To say the day started out badly for Aaron (Rock) is an understatement. The casket that the funeral director brought to the home had the wrong body ("If this is not him," the mortician speculates, "then your father is in one of two places.") Dad eventually turns-up, but so do a plethora of problems. Cousins, friends, wild Uncle Russell (Danny Glover), and a little person with a big revelation and a blackmail scheme add to the chaos Aaron must moderate.
He gets no help from younger brother Ryan (Martin Lawrence), a successful albeit penniless writer. After all, organizing the service, delivering the eulogy, hiding the dead midget's body... these are all the duties of the eldest son. But Aaron has other things on his mind, too. Some day he would like to save enough for his own home and maybe even publish a novel.
But that day is not today, not with so many dysfunctional relationships in need of mending and a father so deserving of a noble sendoff. From somewhere, though, Aaron musters the wherewithal and when the dust settles and the last naked guest falls from the roof, he pulls it all together for an almost happy ending.
Strike-up another casualty of the financial crisis. Notwithstanding the once bankable comedy triumvirate of Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence and Tracy Morgan, Death at a Funeral was DOA at the box office. The beating it took from How to Train Your Dragon is understandable; the popular DreamWorks film has been at the top for five weeks. But a shellacking from Jennifer Lopez's The Back-up Plan? How is that possible?
For many reasons. One: it is a preposterous premise, which when you consider that it is a remake of a critically acclaimed film, sounds impossible but only begins to describe how ruinous this movie really is. Two: No one will ever want to shake Tracy Morgan's hand again (we'll leave it at that). Three: Danny Glover, the brilliant star of films like The Color Purple and Silverado, is stuck on the toilet for most of the movie. I could go on, but how many different ways does the point need to be made. The real "Death" at this "Funeral" is the dignity of those involved.

Half-Life 3 has appeared in a list of products set to be exhibited at Gamescom in Cologne this week.
The official Gamescom website points to a PDF file containing a "list of all the new hardware and software products" set to appear in Germany.
[UPDATE: Valve has told CVG: "We are not showing any games in Cologne this year."]
The list also contains Dragon Age 3 from EA, although given its disclaimer that Gamescom takes "no responsibility for the correctness of this information", it's unclear how accurate its contents should be considered.
Valve is set to have a presence at the German convention - which officially kicks off tomorrow - though CVG understands this is restrained to just private meetings.
Earlier this year supposed Half-Life 3 concept art appeared online, showing key character Alyx Vance in a winter setting.
We strongly suspect the Gamescom website might call 'error' on this one, but we've contacted Valve for comment just in case.

How we turned an old backyard swimming pool into a self-sufficient garden in a desert city. Family Grows Garden in Backyard Swimming Pool. When Dennis McClung takes a dip in his backyard swimming pool, it isn't to practice his backstroke or cool off from the hot Arizona sun. It's to tend to the subterranean garden – chock full of vegetables, fish and even chickens – that has become his family's primary source of food. That's right. Instead of spending thousands of dollars fixing up the crumbling swimming pool in their backyard or filling it up with dirt, the McClung family turned the potentially dangerous, run-down pool into their own minifarm in the desert. McClung, 30, said that when he and his wife Danielle first saw their Mesa, Arizona house in 2009, they knew it would be perfect for their young family. Garden Pool Feeds Family of Four. Cob Home Photo Gallery. Pat's First Cob (1998) This was Patrick's first cob project on his own after taking a one week workshop with Cob Cottage Company (CCC) in 1997.
He built the foundation and then used beach logs for the frame. CCC then taught a 2 week course, after which Patrick finished the walls and roof. Tracy and Patrick did the plastering. The budget for the project was $1,000.

Border Security
Border Security
Recent Activity
The culminating report of the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future seeks to design a new and simplified immigration regime that averts illegal immigration, and at the same time, harnesses the benefits of immigration for the future.
This report examines post-9/11 immigration enforcement practices in the United States through the lens of international human rights. It identifies gaps in the protection of noncitizens' civil rights under U.S. constitutional law, and then evaluates whether post-9/11 U.S. immigration control measures have complied with obligations under international human rights law with respect to due process protections and the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of national origin or race.
New immigration legislation must include changes to achieve effective and resolute enforcement of the immigration laws. Because border and workplace enforcement have been addressed elsewhere, this policy brief offers suggestions for other key enforcement improvements that Congress should implement.
This report examines how counterterrorism strategy relates to border security and immigration reform, and how terrorist mobility should be countered. The author argues that terrorist mobility comprises a set of problems distinct from the challenges of managing large-scale global migration.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This report provides an overview of United States border enforcement throughout the 20th century, highlights how it has changed since the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act nearly two decades ago, and further examines its unprecedented expansion in the aftermath of 9/11. The author concludes with a set of policy questions.
This report closely examines the rapid growth of government appropriations directly targeted to immigration enforcement activities since the passage of the Immigration Control and Reform Act of 1986 (IRCA). Focusing primarily on data between 1985 and 2002, authors highlight trends in the overall immigration enforcement spending as well as in specific activities.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was the first legislative attempt to comprehensively address the issue of unauthorized immigration. The bill included sanctions against employers for the hiring of undocumented migrants, more robust border enforcement, and an expansive legalization program that was unprecedented.

Beautiful Solution to High Traffic Floor Needs - Polished Concrete Floors
You may have noticed a polished concrete floor at a "big box" retailer or a polished and stained concrete floor at your local coffee shop. More and more builders, architects, and facilities managers are discovering the flooring they have been seeking for years. A floor that is extremely abrasion resistant, easily cleaned, does not require waxing, and is attractive. They were probably surprised to discover that it was the same concrete they have been putting floor coverings on top of for decades. New advancements in technology now allow Polished Concrete Contractors to densify a concrete floor through a process of diamond grinding and application of chemicals to a hardness much greater than that of a common concrete slab. The result is an extremely hard surface with a beautiful shine requiring very simple maintenance. If you have a floor need and are considering whether polished concrete would be the right fit please explore our webiste and take advantage of the resources here.

Flipping Professional Development. Last week I worked with almost 100 educators from my district in the area of flipping the classroom over a period of two days.
These two sessions were lead by well-known "flipper", Brian Bennett, another colleague of mine, Brian Bobbitt, and myself. It was a fantastic two days and there was a lot of excitement. Being a part of these sessions allowed me to really think about the way we do professional development. I must admit, I enjoyed the second day a lot more than the first day.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama—High school students from 23 area high schools and home school organizations throughout the Tennessee Valley will visit Redstone Arsenal Wednesday, Sept. 28 for the 11th Annual Adventures in Engineering Day.
Adventures in Engineering, a free event for the students, is sponsored by Junior Achievement of Northern Alabama, the Air Space and Missile Defense Association (ASMDA), the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Junior Achievement President Leah Amos said more than 500 students are expected for this year's event, making it the largest year yet for the annual event.
"I'm just overwhelmed by the response we got from the students. It helps reassure us that this is something very good for the community," she said. "We had so many more students this year that we had to find more offsite locations."
Doug Allen, CSC Director of SMDC Programs and ASMDA board member, said interest in the program has grown every year due to "word of mouth" talk among the students. "We can't attribute it to anything else but that," he said.
The program is targeted at high school juniors and seniors, and its purpose is to promote science and engineering disciplines as a career choice. Students get an opportunity to observe what engineers do on a daily basis, provide them with hands-on knowledge and encourage their pursuit of a science profession in the Tennessee Valley.
"We want to show them what careers are available locally. We know they might go to school somewhere else, but we hope they will come back here for a job," said Amos.
Students will visit a multitude of organizations and participate in a variety of demonstrations. They will also get a chance to speak with employees working in their particular fields of interest.
"We wanted to let them talk to young engineers, to see and learn about some of the actual hardware they are working on," said Allen.
Participating organizations include the U.S. Army Aviation & Missile Research, Development & Engineering Center (AMRDEC), NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT), Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC), Missile Defense Agency (MDA), Lockheed Martin, and the Reagan Test Site Operations Center.
Student will assemble in the University of Alabama in Huntsville's University Center at 7:45 to begin the program, which will run through 3:30 pm on the Arsenal.
Upon return to UAH that afternoon, engineering professors from UAH and Alabama A & M will present overviews of what engineering students experience during their time in college, Allen said.

Dexter Gordon Plays Bebop and Ballads
Dexter Gordon vies with Duke Ellington as the most charismatic jazz artist I've ever seen in person. His horn shook with the same swagger as the Los Angeles native's 6'5" gait, and good looks landed him occasional acting roles that culminated in his portrayal of Dale Turner in the movie 'Round Midnight.

Farewell to a Paragon of Positivity
Clark Terry died on Saturday, February 21. The trumpet great was 94, and had been in declining health for several years. Clark was a genuinely beloved figure who won hearts and minds not so much as an icon but through his artistry and the wisdom, encouragement, and patient direction he imparted to countless aspiring musicians, including Miles Davis and Quincy Jones.

Press Release From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release February 27, 2008 Contact: Tiffany Champion, (210) 733-6604
E-News from the Office of Senator Van de Putte
Dear Friend,
I hope this e-news finds you doing well. I am writing to send you updates on important national issues and helpful information too.
What the Economic Stimulus Plan Means to You This month the Congressional Democrats worked in a bipartisan effort, with the Republican Congress members and President Bush to enact an economic stimulus plan which invests $152 billion into our nation. The goal provides relief to our working families and benefits our seniors and disabled veterans in an effort to boost the economy.
Beginning in May, millions of households will receive checks or direct deposits of $300, $600, $1,200 or more. Individuals earning less than $75,000 annually will receive a check for up to $600, while couples earning less than $150,000 annually will receive up to $1,200. Additionally, families will receive $300 for each child younger than 17.
The IRS will determine your family's rebate based on your 2007 tax return. The majority of those who qualify will not have to do anything more than simply file. The IRS will then distribute the funds to the same address or account number that tax refunds were sent. Those people who file their taxes early and electronically will receive the payments sooner (it is estimated all rebates will go out this summer).
Workers who can verify earnings of at least $3,000 in 2007 and have little to no tax liability will be eligible for a rebate of $300, but they must file their taxes. Likewise, seniors, disabled veterans and veteran widows' who can verify $3,000 in Social Security or veteran disability benefits in 2007 are eligible to receive payments of $300.
With a declining market, we are being afforded an opportunity to jumpstart our economy, while ensuring our families receive the help they need.
Women Veterans Healthcare Improvement Act With so many of our beloved veterans and military families residing in San Antonio, I want to highlight an important federal bill which was heard last month by the U.S. House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Health, but has yet to come up for a vote.
The Women Veterans Healthcare Improvement Act (H.R. 4107) would require the secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) to conduct a 10-year health study on female veterans who served on active duty in the combat theatres of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The bill would assess the quality of and improve services for women veterans general health, mental health, reproductive health and mortality. Specifically, it would report on programs for women veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness and pregnancy care. The bill would also vastly improve care for sexual trauma survivors in the military and offer a pilot program for women receiving mental health care treatment.
The number of female veterans is growing exponentially; and the improvements contained in this bill are long overdue, as women veterans have been expected to fit into a health care system that was originally designed for male veterans.

The recalled products include cookies and Mexican sweet bread (pan dulce). They are sold in clear, twist-tied, plastic bags that contain the company name.

Newt Gingrich Robocall Claims Mitt Romney Took Kosher Food Away From Holocaust Survivors
Here's the 30-second call from Huffington Post:
And here is the text:
As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney vetoed a bill paying for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes. Holocaust survivors, who for the first time, were forced to eat non-kosher, because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher. Where is Mitt Romney's compassion for our seniors? Tuesday you can end Mitt Romney's hypocrisy on religious freedom, with a vote for Newt Gingrich. Paid for by Newt 2012Those are mighty strong words and shocking claims, but, predictably, Newt's campaign is liberally misinterpreting the facts.
Back in 2003, some nursing homes in Massachusetts were considering eliminating their on-site Kosher kitchens, and instead would have had Kosher food delivered. So, no one would have been forced to eat non-Kosher food, they just would have had to eat less fresh Kosher food.
The Massachusetts Legislature then passed a bill that would have made $600,000 available to nursing homes in order to keep their Kosher kitchens open. Romney vetoed the bill, but the legislature ultimately overrode his veto.
"Romney's decision was not, as Gingrich claims, a choice to 'eliminate kosher food for elderly Jewish residents under Medicare,'" explains Commentary magazine. "First of all, it was a choice made by the nursing homes themselves, not the Massachusetts government. Second, it was never actually going to prevent kosher residents from accessing kosher food. And third, Romney's decision wouldn't have cut anything -- he simply vetoed additional funds, keeping funding at the status quo during a budget crisis year."

Poll: Who Was the Best Mentor?
by Maria Russo in Food Network Star, July 19, 2012When it comes to mentoring, Bobby's, Alton's and Giada's styles couldn't be more different. In the season premiere, we learned what each was looking for when they hand-picked their teams of five Food Network Star hopefuls: Bobby sought out no-nonsense cooks, Alton culinary teachers and Giada outgoing personalities. As the season continued, it turned out that the mentors' selection criteria mirrored their own leadership styles.
Bobby found it most effective to maintain a professional relationship with his team and to tailor his instruction to each individual's needs. He spoke of his approach to the other mentors in an exclusive video. "I really try to bounce off the people that I'm mentoring, because I feel like they sort of drive me to the way I'm going to mentor and what I'm going to actually utilize to help them," he said in Miami.
Alton's natural teaching ability came to light in the midseason of the competition when he held one-on-one reviews with his finalists, offering them constructive criticism and tips on how to improve. Justin found his meeting extremely helpful and said that Alton was "one the most effective teachers I've ever had."
Though Bobby and Alton primarily focused on training their finalists, Giada strived to create a family-like atmosphere on her team, offering motherly advice when her hopefuls needed it most. Yvan was especially grateful for Giada's guidance after he gave a successful live performance with Guy Fieri. He said of his mentor, "It's funny how a producer can really get the best out of you. It's like a mom. They know what you need even when you don't."
No mentor's method was completely foolproof — all three teams having suffered losses — but finalists on each team achieved winning moments both in the kitchen and on camera. If they could repeat the season, do you think Bobby, Alton and Giada would choose to mentor in the same way?
Check out this behind-the-scenes video of Alton, Bobby and Giada comparing their mentoring styles and discussing the pros and cons of their approaches to the season.
Tell us: Who do you think was the best mentor?
Be sure to tune in to the finale on Sunday at 9pm/8c to see who you chose to be Food Network's newest star.

A Letter to Lenny, from the Rebel
Dear Lenny, Out of all the seasons of Food Network Star, I can think of only one other winner who has a personality as big as yours. Congratulations a...Comments (

The season finale was a monumental waste of time. You could've done 30 minutes and spared the losers begin bored and dragged through their losses. Justin rules.
Alton obviously, since two of his wanta-bee's were selected for pilots, that's a big no brainer-DUH!
Alton was sooooooooooooooooo the best.
by far
I was waiting for the episode where Giada kissed Martita smack on the lips. She was that in love with her. And all she could continue to say to Ippy was, "You're too laid back." Of course, he was laid back! That was his POV and his personality! The very thing that came to him naturally and would have attracted viewers is what Giada and the judges were begging the other contestants to come up with and pull out of themselves. The team thing forced choices that may not have otherwise been made. The long and boring finale should have been Ippy and Justin. Justin probably still would have won, bu do yourselves a favor Food Network and invite Ippy back to do his show.
Aside from the fact that I am a HUGE Alton fan, I really do think he was the best mentor. He can be snotty sometimes, but he is fair. He did a good job with his team, teaching, leading and molding them.
I liked Justin and Team Alton from week one! Cannot wait to see Justin's show! Justin is the next Alton Brown! Alton has always been my favorite and he is the reason I am hooked on Food Network. Now maybe Justin will be my new fav!
I liked Justin before week one... NO JOKE!!!
I love all the mentors the same they were all upbeat their team winning.
Giada is so in love with herself that it is a real turn off. Please tell her to wear some professional clothing and flash the boobs elswhere. She is a fake from the top of her head down to her 5 inch heels. She cannot mentor because she has no real food knowledge. I would rather watch Lidia Bastianich cook real Italian food and maybe I would learn something.
Alton was great although had moments where he was too abrupt with his pupils.
PLEASE put a show on the food network with real people cooking food the vast majority of us would want to eat and be able to cook in a reasonable amount of time. Goat cheese and arugala does not make it for most of us!-
Lidia would put Giada to shame in a cooking competition.
That leaves Justin out.
yay Alton, yay Justin!!! Alton, you are the Iron Chef of Mentors. you are who you are and that is what's cool. Justin, make sure to stay true to who you are. albeit the contracts & fame & money, never forget that please. thanks Food Network, the fans are totally spot on!
I think Alton & Giada where the best mentors. Bobby made a huge mistake for picking his teams for thier cooking skills. I am so happy that Justin won! I can't wait to watch his show!

Juan Pablo Montoya, Williams (1st):
"A perfect finish to a perfect race weekend. The car was excellent. I started from the clean side of the track and basically I just had to be consistent, to keep the same pace all race and to try not to make any mistakes. It was amazing how I could pull away and maybe because of this it was not too bad a race from the physical point of view. I am happy to be only six points away from Michael now, since there are just four races to go and it is so important to score points consistently, for me this counts now more than ever before. Things can easily go wrong for everybody as we have witnessed today when it happened to both of the Schumachers".
Ralf Schumacher, Williams (DNF - accident, lap 1):
"It's obviously a huge disappointment but this is the way motor racing is sometimes. You cannot think about what people around you are doing and sometimes these incidents do happen. I was just trying to defend my position and I didn¹t make any sudden move or anything so there was all the time in the world for other cars to move away from me. The impact from Raikkonen's car crashing into my car, damaged all of the left sidepod and radiator and the floor and I couldn¹t do anything but retire."
Nicolas Kiesa, Minardi (12th):
"For quite a lot of the race, I was out there on my own, with no other cars around, and that can be quite hard. You haven't got anyone to judge your pace against, and you find your self pushing a bit harder and a bit harder, to the point where it would be easy to lose concentration and make a mistake. It was definitely a hard race, but I'm relieved to have my first Grand Prix behind me. I now know what to expect, which will definitely help me in the future. As for the car, it was good for the first four or five laps of each stint, but then the handling started to degrade and I found myself grappling with quite a lot of oversteer. I'd particularly like to thank everyone on the team, though, for making my Formula One debut a really good experience."
Jos Verstappen, Minardi (DNF - hydraulics, lap 25):
"I got a reasonably good start, and then saw the accident happening ahead of me and was able to avoid it, although I did flat-spot my front tyres. The Safety Car helped us, as I was able to come into the pits and refuel the car. After that, the vibration from the tyres was so bad it was hard to see, so I was really pleased to come in for my scheduled stop on lap 24 and change them. I had a problem with the down change just before the stop, and then it was difficult to engage first gear leaving the pits. Unfortunately, it seems we had a hydraulic pressure problem and that caused the car to stop. It's very disappointing, but that's racing."
Rubens Barrichello, Ferrari (DNF - accident, lap 1):
"I am very disappointed. I had nowhere to go at the moment of the accident. I had an average start. I think both Ralf and Kimi took big risks, especially Kimi who went very wide to get past. Ralf moved to the left and gave me nowhere to go. I braked and then I was hit while not making any changes of direction with the steering wheel. A real shame, as today I could have had a good race and a great result."
Michael Schumacher, Ferrari (7th):
"Obviously, I am disappointed to finish only seventh after a tough race which could have brought me eight points. Now I only have two, but at least I am still leading the championship. As I expected, Williams is now emerging as our main rival. I lost two positions after the start and I had to fight hard to get up to second. I have to say my car was working well throughout the race, even if I did not have the pace to catch Montoya, as he had built up a big lead by then. Towards the end, I picked up a puncture on the left rear and now we need to find out what caused it. Four races to go; it's going to be very close and the battle for the title will be very exciting, just as we expected. I am looking forward to the fight."
Nick Heidfeld, Sauber (10th):
"After the start I was able to pass some cars. I felt confident I could score some points after the accident at the start. To begin with my race was okay and I got closer to Button's BAR. The balance of my car was good, but I knew that I had to be careful to conserve the rear tyres. From the middle of the race I also had be cautious with the brakes, although that didn't actually influence the car's performance."
Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Sauber (DNF - accident, lap 1):
"Straight after the start there was a crash right in front of me. Everyone hit the brakes, but behind me someone obviously didn't realise that there was an accident and crashed into me. I lost my rear wing and came into the pits hoping that the race might be stopped and that I could take over the T-car, but instead the safety car was deployed. My car was too badly damaged, so that was the end of my race."
Giancarlo Fisichella, Jordan (DNF - mechanical, lap 65, classified 13th):
"That was a disaster for me really! I had a lot of problems: tyres, the car, electronics, the engine overheating - everything."
Ralph Firman, Jordan (DNF - accident, lap 1):
"It's very disappointing to go out of the race. I went into the first corner and didn't see anything that was going on but suddenly everyone slowed and I ended up tapping the back of Frentzen and damaging my front wing. I thought it might be okay but then I was off the circuit on the outside when Justin came into the side of me, and there was just too much damage."
Olivier Panis, Toyota (5th):
"It was a completely trouble-free race for me today. The three-stop strategy we had was the right choice and my car was absolutely perfect. The team did a great job all weekend, as did Michelin to provide us with such competitive tyres. Cristiano also performed very well and to have two cars in the top six is such a fantastic result. We have worked so hard throughout this season and have demonstrated that we have a competitive package. Heading into the three-week break, Panasonic Toyota Racing has seven more points and this makes me determined to push for more of the same in Hungary."
Cristiano da Matta, Toyota (6th):
"Everything ran smoothly for me in the race today. The car felt good and I got the most out of it. With Olivier getting fifth position, this is the first time that we have finished a race with both cars in points-scoring positions and it is a brilliant result for all the team's efforts. It shows that we are making progress, which is the most important thing, and we are getting closer and closer. We have to keep this level of performance up and continue to work hard. Then the results will keep coming naturally."
Jarno Trulli, Renault (3rd):
"It is a wonderful feeling to score my first podium for Renault. I took advantage of the accident at the first corner and, during the first two stints, the car was very good: Montoya was faster than me, but I was controlling the people behind. However, fifteen laps from the end, I started suffering from blistering on the rear tyres. When the cars behind caught me, I lost two places, but Michael's problem was a stroke of luck, which brought me a podium finish. We had a very good weekend, we were competitive right from the first session, and this is a good reward."
Fernando Alonso, Renault (4th):
"The result is OK, and it feels good to be scoring points again. We have been very competitive since Silverstone, and this is a good result for the team in terms of the championship. From my point of view, I pushed during the whole race: it was tough, and my mistake didn't help matters, but finishing fourth is not too bad after starting from eighth."
David Coulthard, McLaren (2nd):
"I'm very pleased with my result after a difficult weekend. I made a good start and got past a few cars. Unfortunately Kimi got caught in the first corner accident, which certainly cost the team valuable points, but I'm happy he is OK. My car was well balanced for most of the race and I could conserve my tyres, so when Michael and Jarno got problems with their tyres I was able to attack. I attempted to make the same manoeuvre on Jarno as Michael had but ran a little too wide at the Hairpin. However I managed to get past at the Mercedes grandstand when he made a mistake. I want to build on today's result and look forward to the next race in three weeks time."
Kimi Raikkonen, McLaren (DNF - accident, lap 1):
"I got off the line very well at the start and went straight down on the outside. I was past Barrichello when he hit my rear tyre. There was nowhere for me to go and I went into the tyre wall. I don't know who is to blame and it doesn't really matter, because there is nothing I can do about it, and at least I'm OK apart from feeling a bit sore. We lost a place in the Championship, but at the end of the day there are still four races to go and lots of points up for grabs."
Mark Webber, Jaguar (DNF - accident, lap 64, classified 11th):
"A very tough and frustrating race. I got onto the right side of the action on the opening lap and after overtaking the Mercedes-McLaren of David Coulthard at turn two, I was in 5th place. After that, however, it was all down hill. The race pace was suffering and I struggled a lot with balance and we clearly have some work ahead of us. I fought very hard to keep up and get past with Jenson Button and on the last lap, I could either choose between a no-points 9th place or take a stab at passing Jenson for a championship point. I did the latter but with grip and balance being such an issue, the car spun off in the Stadium section and that was that. I have no regret about making the move at all. The opportunity for a point was there and I had no choice but to have a go."
Justin Wilson, Jaguar (DNF - accident damage, lap 6):
"I am very disappointed indeed. The charge towards the first corner was very strange in that I came into the corner and literally everyone in front of me braked early because of the accident. I then saw Villeneuve cutting in front of me and he hit my front left. As I took corrective action to avoid him, the Jordan of Ralph Firman hit me from behind. The team did an amazing job of fixing the car and getting me back out but a transmission issue forced my retirement. It's been quite a weekend for me and all in all, I walk away having learned an awful lot, albeit with so much more to learn. The car, team and everyone involved are great to work with and I can only hope for better joy at the next round in Hungary."
Jenson Button, BAR (8th):
"I'm really pleased to finish eight today, it's just a shame that we couldn't collect two points instead of one. Still, every point counts and we did a great job from where we started. I have to thank the team and Honda because we were quick and reliable in tough race conditions. I had a real problem with my rears locking due to a diff control failure, so it wasn't easy trying to keep everyone behind - particularly Webber. It's a nightmare starting from the back and I have to do better in Hungary because I'm just making life hard for myself. We have to drive our car on the edge at the moment though and sometimes it's very easy to slip over the limit."
Jacques Villeneuve, BAR (9th):
"A frustrating end to a very tough race for me. I got hit from behind in the first corner and that just destroyed my race. It's a great shame because the car was good today and we had a good strategy. Because of where we were on the track, we changed to a one-stop strategy. This wasn't the best choice in the end, but we decided to take a gamble and it didn't work out. The engine worked well and the car was quick, so we had a good chance of points today and it's very disappointing."
