Mark Naison: At a time when the connection between guns and radical activism is being fiercely debated, I want to point to two moments in American Labor history where militants chose NOT to carry guns
Progressive Media Advocates

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Lauren Steiner: To our surprise, the regulators didn't try to shut us down. Security didn't storm the room. None of the workshop attendees booed us. So we continued the same chant for three minutes.
Joe Mathews: Thanks to Xi Jinping, Chinese millionaires have propped up the state's sagging real estate market, universities, and companies.

Boys soccer: Farmington's Agnew shuts out Northfield, Mayo
It hasn't taken Jake Agnew long to settle in at goalkeeper for the Farmington boys soccer team.
The sophomore didn't allow a goal in his varsity debut, a 90-minute, double-overtime tie with Rosemount in late August, and he hasn't given up many since. He stopped 10 shots in leading the Tigers to a 2-0 victory over Northfield in their Missota Conference opener last Thursday at Tiger Stadium and 14 saves to preserve another 0-0 overtime tie Saturday against Rochester Mayo.

annual hibiscus family seeds
I'm in Southern CA and its 60s to 70s in days and low 50s in nights. I'm trying to grow Roselle, Manihot, Hibiscus Moscheutos from seeds and having a hard time. I have hibiscus moscheutos seedilngs that are so far doing well but growing slowly. The Roselle that I planted in the ground and in small pots basically opened their cotyledons and haven't moved at all. Then eventually slugs or bugs get to them because they just don't grow.
The same thing happened two years when I tried to grow Okra. They just showed their cotyledons and that was that. I don't know I sowed them at the wrong time or what?
It takes for ever to warm up here in the San Diego area...is that the issue? Thanks! The manihot I'm still waiting on.
It's not that I can't get them to germinate. I can, but then afterwards. Plus, even if I have them in the house, the temp in the house is just slightly warmer than outside.
I'll will try some again and then try the majority of seeds end of May. Thanks!
I have heard issues of Hib M. in dryer climates. These plants tent to flourish well in warm humid environments with constant water. We have some wild varieties in the mid west that grow wildly in stagnant water filled ditches. Some of the mid west zoos and botanical gardens use these in 'swamp-like' displays. As an example, some of mine are experiencing issues being inside for the winter with the dry humidity. I wish you luck!
Thanks for the replies! Actually here in the San Diego area we have a very humid spring so dry air is not a problem here until later in the summer.
I really think it's the cold. We always have that marine influence from the ocean that limits the higher temperatures that hibiscus love. Oh well, I'll keep trying and waiting for it to warm up outside! :)

Two Scapes!
I knew we were having an unseasonably warm winter this year, and was worrying about my daylilies possibly getting confused. Today I discovered two scapes with buds on CHINA CLIPPER!
Wow, Nancy! That is early. I hope mine hold off longer this year than last. We are getting a good amount of rain at this time.
I am considering beginning some natural fertiization, such as seaweed or alfalfa meal soon., and with the greens popping up, I need to spay for thrips right away.
I am still cleaning up areas, but intend to go ahead with downsizing my iris area. I am not going to spend the requisite time to weed three pretty large beds repeatedly for a two or three week bloom season. My daylilies require so much less time, and much longer bloom season. Which doesn't mean I intend to expand them a lot. I am deciding what companion plants to add. It is fun to plan for the spring and summer now.
I always get a kick out of the fact that there are places warm enough to already have scapes popping up. And of course I'm envious along with my amusement...LOL. (I won't see my first scapes til July). Good for you and enjoy those blooms! Photos are always welcome.
Not a surprise to me, a number of our DLs are now breaking dormancy and I am not happy. I wanted much colder temps for a longer time, in hopes it might slow down any rust that has lingered. We have begun some garden cleanup and in a couple of weeks I will be out pruning roses, which are already showing new leaves here. Oh, we also have daffodils starting to bloom. Avedon
Kay, I'm so glad you mentioned thrips! I hadn't thought about them. Will call my pest control man and have him start spraying for them. I have stopped using chemical fertilizers for good. It looks like it's about time to start spraying again with seaweed fertilizer. Those daylilies that survived last summer's drought are deep green and multiplying. It's the best they've looked since we moved here.
Avedon, my dormants have not even gone fully dormant. They've just "diminished" in size. Normally February is our nastiest cold month but so far, it looks like spring is here.
Potted fall seedlings that have been kept in kiddy pools full of water are looking fabulous - I'd "guesstimate" that they are 4-5 times larger than the others. I wouldn't be surprised if these "water bed" babies bloom this spring.
If and when CHINA CLIPPER blooms, I'll be happy to post a picture.
I haven't seen scapes this early until this year --- ever! I now have three scapes on CHINA CLIPPER with color showing in buds on the first scape that came up already. MEE YING has two scapes. It is new and growing in a pot.
Due to our unusual winter this year, I must have 10-20 daylilies that think they are shrubs. Their growth rate has been phenomenal, including some that were planted last spring.
Almost all of the dormants have not gone fully dormant and have resumed growth, but many Sevs have gone into semi-dormancy, more so than the dormants.

Veteran Indian star Leander Paes and his Czech partner Radek Stepanek on Sunday sailed into the Australian Open quarter-finals after a straight-set win over the unseeded pair of Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus in the men's doubles competition in Melbourne.
Fifth seeds Paes and Stepanek hit 25 winners en route their 6-3 6-2 win over India's Bhambri and his Kiwi companion Michael Venus in the pre-quarterfinal, which lasted 65 minutes.
The Indo-Czech pair broke the serve of their opponents three times to book their berth in the last-eight stage of the tournament.
Paes and Stepanek are looking to win the Australian Open title for the second time, following their victory in 2012 over Bryan brothers.
They had added a second Grand Slam championship to their collection at last year's US Open with victory over Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.
Meanwhile, the seventh seeded pair of India's Rohan Bopanna and his Pakistani partner Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi endured a shocking defeat against the 12th seeded duo of Treat Huey and Dominic Inglot to crash out of the men's doubles event.
The Filipino-British pair of Huey and Inglot scored an upset 6-4 7-6(1) win over last week's Sydney finalists Bopanna and Qureshi in the top half of the draw.
Huey-Inglot sent down 10 aces and hit 35 winners to set up a potential quarter-final duel with top seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.
In the junior girls' singles event, India's Dhruthi Tatachar Venugopal lost 3-6 3-6 to Germany's Katie Boulter.
In the junior boys' doubles first round, the eighth seeded pair of India's Sumit Ngal and Korea's Hyeon Chung went down to the Spanish duo of Martinez Portero and Munar Clar 3-6 6-7.

I got the Memo Pad FHD 10: It lagged in slowness a bit in a few well known apps. Also when browsing the internet. Also the kicker for knowing I had to 'Root' was certain apps use the 'System font' for Chinese-Pinyin display. Asus-Memo Factory-font does not display accented characters well. But the standard setting do not allow adjustment to the System-font.
Your Easy instructions under: 'For those who are not rooted'... Were simple. I downloaded the two files... 5.0.16 (Although: Note I needed to rename, the 5.016, to exactly match what you said. The filename was slightly different.)
I was a little scared, even though I had already upgraded the firmware of my Tablet to 51.31, but another poster had that number as well, so I decided to boldly press-on.
Then I put the 5.017 and boom... and installed the SuperSU file as instructed... and a way I went! Thanx! Thankx! I put on HiFonts and found a font that was suitable for the system. The pad is also now so much snappier!!! I hope that doesn't mean the battery is now going to drain at an alarming rate. I haven't tested that yet. :

The faculty and staff of the Samoan Studies Institute (SSI), along with their current students, celebrated the Samoa culture and its facility for adaptation during Samoa Day 2015 on Thursday, March 20, at the American Samoa Community College (ASCC).
For the safety and well-being of local youth, a farm in Taputimu was closed down last week, after inspectors discovered that the owners were mixing water with chicken manure, and using the mixture as fertilizer for cabbage.
Right now, a ban on the sale of locally grown bok choi (either in the local stores or on the road side) is still in effect. This came after the cabbage was found to have dirt, snails, and worms on the leaves.
Last week Congresswoman Aumua Amata notified the territory of three grant awards, voiced her support for Veteran's legislation and congratulated a son of American Samoa on his military promotion. All information is based on media releases from the congresswoman's office.
Some faipule are supportive of an administration bill calling for a 5% occupancy or room tax, which Commerce Department director Keniseli Lafaele says will not deter nor decrease visits to the territory by business travelers, federal government workers and military officials, as they would still have to pay this tax, even if it's increased in the future.
Representatives Pulelei'ite Tufele Li'amatua Jr Fatulegae'e Mauga and Talamatai Su'a are co-sponsoring a measure that will increases fees for vehicle licensing and registration and appropriate a portion of the fees to the Territorial Administration on Aging (TAOA) for programs specifically and directly benefiting the elderly.
Thailand-based Thai Union's acquisition of Bumble Bee Seafood "will probably put the Samoa project on hold" while Bumble Bee cannery continues discussions with the Samoa government, according to Kevin McClain, Bumble Bee's vice president of Resourcing. The comment was made during a meeting-luncheon last Friday with several local longline fleet owners and representatives.
"They arrived in a police vehicle, and the gun that was brandished was pulled from the police vehicle. Police are in a position of trust and they have a duty to keep the peace, not to disturb it, so when civilians see police vehicles they shouldn't have to fear them, they should be icons for safety," said Assistant Attorney General Alema Leota.
The comment was made by the prosecutor during the sentencing of Vice and Narcotics Senior Police Detective Ioane Johnny Paselio due to an incident which led to the damaging of a night club in Pago Pago.
With only 15 operating school buses, Education Department director Vaitinasa Dr. Salu Hunkin-Finau has said that high school sporting events requiring transportation must be completed within the next two weeks, and has cancelled until further notice extra curricular activities, according to a ASDOE memo issued last Friday morning.
The government's cost-containment measures are also cited as another reason to reduce DOE staff overtime, travel and other non-essential activities.

The San Diego based cannery is working with the Samoa government to set up operations in Apia and Butler said,
A hand full of House members are questioning why the Lolo Administration's 5% room tax bill has targeted the Port Administration Department's Airport Division to be the recipient of this new revenue source, instead of spreading out it out to all ASG entities.
The room tax bill states that 75% of revenue earned from the proposed room tax —which targets hotel, motels, inns, and similar places of lodging — goes to the Airport Division while the other 25% remains with the ASG general fund account.

Tung oil for a bathroom floor
vardaradaFebruary 4, 2012
I have wooden floors, which were polyurethaned 20 years ago. I would like to strip off the polyurethane and treat my floors with Tung oil. Will this be enough protection from water in the bathroom and the kitchen? Some information I've read says tung oil is far superior to polyurethane in protecting from water, others say to play safe and use polyurethane again.
Any advice on the subject of wooden bathroom floors would be very welcome.

Buenos Aires
Hotels in Buenos Aires
Comfort and luxury are absolute priorities at Buenos Aires hotels. The city's old world elegance and modern spirit come together in top-rated accommodations across town. Some of the best hotels in Buenos Aires offer fine dining, spa services and high-tech amenities to make your stay as flawless as possible. At Faena Hotel, guests can stay in sprawling suites accented with romantic décor, have afternoon tea at the elegantly-outfitted Library Lounge or enjoy an alfresco dinner at El Mercado restaurant, with a personal experience manager overseeing their entire stay.
In the heart of the beautiful Recoleta neighborhood, Alvear Palace Hotel features a spa and fitness area, a business center, two upscale restaurants and a Cigar Bar, where even non-smokers can treat themselves to a relaxing afternoon with high-quality chocolates and liqueurs. Also in Recoleta, Palacio Duhau-Park Hyatt is a relaxing oasis in the city, with lush gardens and spacious, bright rooms. The hotel even houses an art gallery named Paseo de las Artes, showcasing sculptures and paintings by Argentinian and Latin American artists.
This Park Hyatt feels like two hotels in one. The original 23-room mansion, built in 1934 by French architect Leon Dourge, defines Belle Époque elegance with elaborate ironwork, glass chandeliers, and Persian rugs.
The self-described first boutique hotel in Buenos Aires, four-year-old Bo Bo—named in honor of American writer David Brooks's coinage for "bourgeois bohemians"—launched the city's design hotel boom and remains the purest expression of the form.
If your Argentine fantasy includes polo mallets, saddlebags, and other equestrian accoutrements, look no further than this patrician hotel in the calm northern reaches of Palermo Viejo, an area recently dubbed Palermo Soho.
Although the NH Latino is located in the business district, the hotel is also within walking distance of popular tourist destinations like the Obelisk, Plaza de Mayo, and the shops of Calle Florida.
Fashion-impresario Alan Faena and design "bad boy" Philippe Starck have transformed an abandoned century-old grain depository into the 105-room Faena Hotel + Universe. The outside may be prosaic, but the inside is pure Starck.
Past and present coexist with remarkable grace in Buenos Aires; for evidence, one need only book a room at the Krista.
Every guest gets a butler at this downtown mainstay with stellar service.
The fluted façade of the loft-style hotel, located two blocks from the Casa Rosada, where Eva Perón gave her famous address, dates to the 1920's-when Argentina embraced Art Deco.
On a Sunday afternoon, you'll have a hard time finding a district more peaceful than Las Cañitas, in the north end of the city near the polo grounds. Saturday night, it's a different story, as pedigreed Porteños descend on its restaurants and bars en masse.
175 rooms and a marble-clad lobby, on a quiet downtown side street.
The Hotel: Occupying a stately, renovated, century-old townhouse, the Art Hotel lives up to its name: the grand, high-ceilinged ground floor (which has a cozy library lounge and breakfast area) does double duty as a gallery, and each of the 36 clean-lined, wood-floored rooms is d
Ever since it opened in 2003, this tiny hotel in the historic, hostel-heavy San Telmo neighborhood has been crazily popular. Each of the five rooms in the restored Art Nouveau townhouse is uniquely decorated, from the conversation pit and groovy white modernism of No.
This Buenos Aires landmark—situated smack dab in Recoleta, the city's most exclusive shopping barrio—occupies a modern 12-story tower and a handsome Belle Époque mansion, connected by immaculately landscaped gardens.
Used as his base while shooting the film Tetro, director and winemaker Francis Ford Coppola turned this sleek Palermo Soho abode into one of the city's premier boutique hotels, following the same pattern as his other residences-turned-hotels in Belize and Guatemala.
When guests step into the soaring, black-and-white tiled lobby of this landmark Neoclassical high-rise (built in 1929, it was the city's first skyscraper), they're greeted with the fragrance of verbena—the first of many small details that make stays here memorable.

Birth Stories
> an outdoor birth under the stars
curran's birth story
the short version…
07.11.07, 2:43am (wednesday), born at home, drug free, outside in the hot tub under the stars, 7lbs 13oz, 21.5" long, 13.5" head, labor started at 9:30pm (tues)
looooong version...
friday the 6th i was 38weeks 6 days pregnant, the longest i'd been pregnant as my first two babies came at 38 weeks and 38 weeks 5 days. that afternoon and evening, i had some irregular contractions and thought i might be getting close! we filled up the hottub just in case and i called my midwives to let them know what was going on. paula suggested i just go to sleep to rest up and when i sat down or layed down, the contractions stopped, so it was just prelabor – but we were excited that we might get a 7.7.07 baby! saturday my inlaws came up for the weekend and nothing happened while they were here besides regular braxton hicks while walking. monday and tuesday, same thing...i saw the chiropractor monday afternoon because when i had a lot of lower back pressure and wondered if maybe my pelvis wasn't quite lined up right – she adjusted me and i felt better right away. tuesday afternoon the boys swam in the hot tub and i relaxed in it, and then we drained it because we didn't want bacteria to start growing.
tuesday night we put the boys to bed and had sex to try to get labor started. at 9:30 i noticed a good, crampy contraction on the underside of my belly, definitely felt different than the braxton hicks i'd been having. a few minutes later, another one and then another one. at 9:50 i decided i better watch the clock to see how they were going, 9:57 another and 10:04 another. i told bri this might really be it, let's see what happens in the next half hour. at 10:30 we decided to fill up the hot tub, that didn't take long, but heating it up would take about 5 hours. contractions had kept coming 4-7 minutes apart, 30 seconds – 1 minute long. i put towels in the wash and we watched an episode of six feet under.
at 11:30 i told bri he better start putting buckets of hot water into the hottub heat it up – we thought we'd be able to hook up the hose to the hot water on our washing machine, but we never tested it and he couldn't get it to unscrew to hook up the hose. i went to the bathroom and noticed a tiny bit of bloody show and said this is really it!! i decided to call the midwives but couldn't get a hold of them! i kept calling paula's home and cell and christa, the apprentice, her home and cell as well. i thought maybe they're at another birth and hoped they'd call me back soon. at midnight bri asked if we don't get a hold of them are we doing this unassisted or do we go to the hospital? i said i'm definitely not going to the hospital!
it wasn't until 12:20am that i got a hold of a sleeping christa and she said she'd call paula to see what was going on. paula called me back in a few minutes apologizing, she didn't know what had happened, she had her phones right there in bed with her and actually right before christa called, she woke up with a funny feeling, looked at her phone and saw the missed calls from me. she asked how long i thought it might be based on my previous labors and i said maybe 3 hours. she said she was on her way but had to stop at the office for her birth bag.
at 1am i started to stop and focus and breathe through the contractions, i didn't have to, but it felt better to. christa arrived at 1:10, checked baby's hb and then checked me. she said my bag of waters was bulging and she couldn't really tell how dilated i was, she thought 5-6cm. paula arrived at 1:30 and checked me during a contraction and said i was a generous 8cm. she asked if i wanted to break the water and i said no. i asked if i could get in the hot tub and she said definitely! it felt so good in there! the contractions slowed down a little but they were lasting longer, at least a minute each. i was in the middle of the tub on my hands and knees and i'd rock back and forth and breathe through them. i was starting to feel a little bit of pressure. in between contractions, i'd chat w/ the midwives and brian. we talked about gardens and the weather – the crickets were chirping and brian had taken down the tarp that he put up for shade in case we had the baby during the day – it was very peaceful under the stars. bri set up the video camera on the tripod and i asked him if he would want to get in and catch the baby. we had planned on him taking pictures all along, but it hit me that it would be way more meaningful if he was in there to catch the baby than take pictures, lol! paula and christa were inside setting up so i asked paula to come tell us what he'd need to do to catch. she said it's pretty easy and talked him through it. christa said she'd take pictures unless paula needed her, so it was perfect.
around 2:30, paula offered to check me again, i said sure. she said i was complete and asked me to push a little during the next contraction to push aside a little cervical lip. we did this for two contractions, it was kind of hard to push because i was hanging on to the edge of the hottub w/ just one hand and the rest of my body was just floating, i didn't have much leverage to push – but it worked and she said to try to keep that pressure down in between contractions and i could push during the next one. brian got in the tub at this point. i wasn't sure which position i wanted to be in to push. my water had not broken yet so paula said she'd want me close to the edge if he came out in the caul so they could break it.
i decided to try squatting in the middle, this was perfect. i pushed through a few contractions and then i could feel his head move down and my water broke. i had one hand down there and could feel his head come so close to crowning but as soon as i stopped pushing i felt him move back up, that was a strange feeling! the next one i pushed his head out, paula told brian to gently push his head down a bit to release the shoulder and told me to push...the contraction was over and i didn't feel like pushing anymore! she said i had to because the baby needed to come out, so i did, lol! it was hard! out he came at 2:43am! i pulled him up to my chest but the cord was short, we noticed he was kind of tangled in it, half around his neck and down through a leg. he wasn't making any noise and both bri and i asked if he was ok. paula took him and kinda held him upside down and rubbed his back, he started making some noise. she gave him back to me and was telling us to just hold him by his head and let the rest of his body float in the water to get him to breathe, we were both a little dumbfounded and it took a few times of her telling us this to get what we were supposed to do. finally we got it and he took some good breaths. then she said i could hold him to my chest and see if he'd latch on but he wasn't interested yet. i felt a couple more contractions so we cut the cord, bri got out and took curran, i stepped out and squatted over a bowl to birth the placenta. paula told me to visualize releasing and not being pregnant anymore and to gently pull on the cord and out came the placenta, that was cool to do it myself.
we went inside, paula and christa went to the kitchen to do paperwork and gave us some time to ourselves. curran still wasn't latching on, so paula suggested holding him upright, as soon as i did that, he started rooting and then latched on. they came back in to weigh and measure him, gave him a little bath, bri dressed him and i took a shower. paula checked me for tears and found none. we had pretty much decided on curran but didn't know if we were going w/ reed or charles for the middle name. we decided to go with reed. they wrapped up the placenta, put it in the freezer and said goodbye.
i really couldn't imagine a better birth, everything was just perfect! throughout my pregnancy i told myself that i wanted to be more aware, more present this time around. dade was my first natural birth and while it was wonderful, my natural coping instinct during his birth was to go inside myself and i felt afterwards that i had somehow missed it a little because i wasn't fully present. i wouldn't have been disappointed if this labor had been the same way, but i'm very pleased that i really got to experience it if that makes sense. i was totally aware of his head moving through the birth canal and pushing him out.
i felt very prepared for this birth, mentally and spiritually, as well as physically. i'd even say it was virtually pain free right up to the point of pushing him out, which wasn't really painful, just hard. paula said when i was in the tub in transition, i was laboring like a typical woman in early labor. i like giving birth, i think i'm pretty good at it and would do it several more times if pregnancy wasn't so hard on my body.
big brothers are in love w/ their new baby. estin is just as gentle as ever and dade is a little wild man – he comes close to rub curran's head and then runs away squealing. he is nursing great and gaining weight, at 5 days he was almost back to his birth weight. he's very strong, already holding his head up. sleeping good, i hope that keeps up! the name curran is a maiden name on my dad's side, coming from ireland in the late 1800s, it means hero…reed was my grandpa on my mom's side.
just found out yesterday that my neighbors heard me give birth, haha!

I wanted to do that in my hot tub, but my two younger sons were born in January.

Nicole B
Beautiful birth moma!
What a beautiful birth story, I love his name also! Congrats, mama!
Congrats! That sounds like a dream birth! I couldn't do it as I'm due in December... but if we get a spring/summer baby next time- that sounds amazing!
I'm wondering if our neighbors will hear too. Did they say something to you?
dh was holding curran and was outside w/ the boys (i was taking a shower) - the neighbors (who we've never met until then) came over to see the baby and asked dh if he was born at home, then they said they heard me, lol!
Awesome story and pictures! Wow, I'm so jealous you got a hot tub, ha ha!
CONGRATS on a wonderful birth!
he is gorgeous!!! congratulations!!!!!!
What a beautiful and inspiring birth story. We have a tub on our back porch. I've dreamed of laboring there in the middle of the night, under the stars. My babe is due in March--it's still pretty cold here in March, especially at night. I think I'd feel bad for my support team, but we'll see.
I'd love to learn more about preparing the hot-tub for HB.
Love the name too!
Awesome birth! Thanks so much for sharing! I am due with my 3rd, as well, soon and really am hoping and planning for a more "connected" birth, as you described. So glad to hear from another mama who's accomplished it!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. My DH and I are both from Phoenix, and I can really feel the beauty of a water birth in the summer time desert night! How magical, theres nothing quite like it! We're in the Pacific Northwest now, and our little one is due at the beginning of the rainy season, which is quite a different experience, Maybe we can find a nice big outdoor puddle! Just kidding! I've been medititating on the sound of pattering rain on our roof for comfort and strength!
Best wishes with your beautiul family!
oh so wonderful, hope that I can do the same when the time comes, thank you for sharing with us.
Absolutely beautiful story....definitely a dream I have for myself!

Ivy Tech Community College Lafayette has announced the retirement of Pat Corey, Executive Director of Resource Development. Corey has led the regional Ivy Tech Foundation office and fundraising efforts for the Lafayette region since 2005. She will step down at the end of April.
During Corey's tenure, the Lafayette region raised $24.8 million for scholarships, capital projects and special programs. The region has the largest scholarship endowment within the Ivy Tech system. The Smith Scholars Associated Accelerated Program (ASAP) was established to allow students to complete an associate degree in less than one year. The recently completed Frankfort campus was built with the support of Clinton County businesses, industry and residents. Other programs developed through the generosity of benefactors include the McAllister Excellence in Teaching Awards and McAllister Merit Awards, as well as the Arts in Education programs that allows Ivy Tech students to attend Purdue Convocations performances.
Corey has also been highly involved in The Intersection Connection, a multi-organization collaboration which is currently raising funds to build a new YMCA adjacent to the Ivy Tech Lafayette campus. The new facility will also house health services and Junior Achievement hands-on learning labs. To date the project has secured $12 million.
"Pat Corey's energy and enthusiasm is contagious," said Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski. "Her love for Ivy Tech and this community is both special and remarkable. She will certainly be missed, and her efforts are truly appreciated."
Under Corey's direction, the Lafayette region built a robust alumni program, including an Alumni Legacy Fund administered by alumni to support student experience grants. Corey developed Ivy Tech Lafayette's first engagement function, coordinating efforts to recognize lifelong learning, serving on the original planning team for the area's child abuse summits and Our Kids Committee, and helping Greater Lafayette earn recognition as one of the 100 Best Communities for Youth.
Corey was part of the executive team for the Western Indiana Sustainable Energy Resource (WISER) and served on the United Way Community Investment Committee, the boards of Historic Prophetstown and the Indiana Fiddler's Gathering, Greater Lafayette Commerce's Quality of Life Committee, the Regional Leadership Institute, and the League of Women Voters.
Corey continues to lead development of Hometown2Hometown, a Greater Lafayette Commerce website designed as a portal for friends and relatives of Purdue's international students and scholars and the international business community in Greater Lafayette. She has also helped Greater Lafayette become a U.S. Ignite community. In 2012, she traveled to Japan and China with the community's trade delegation.
"It has been a privilege to work with such an incredibly generous and visionary community," says Corey. "I am so grateful to Ivy Tech to have had the opportunity to serve both the college and the communities in our region in so many ways."
"Pat has taken Ivy Tech's fundraising and community partnerships to new levels," said Dr. David Bathe, Chancellor for Ivy Tech's Lafayette and Kokomo regions. "Her tireless efforts and commitment to not only the college, but also to the communities that it serves, have set a standard of excellence and integrity that is unmatched."
"Pat has been an incredible senior development officer," said John Murphy, President of Ivy Tech Foundation. "She is a 'go to' resource and her generosity in sharing knowledge is highly acclaimed. I will be forever grateful for the endless hours Pat has put forth on Ivy Tech's behalf. She is the epitome of a selfless servant leader."
Corey was born in Cleveland, Ohio and lived briefly in Indianapolis before moving to Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. She earned her bachelor's degree in mathematics with distinction from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in communication from Purdue University. She completed coursework for a Ph.D. in communication from Purdue before taking the post at Ivy Tech. Her research interests included rhetoric and philosophy of technology, and she taught public speaking, journalism, and society and technology. Corey co-developed and taught an undergraduate course in computing and ethics. Her prior professional experience included business management for a newspaper in Michigan, human resources management and information technology.
Corey and her husband, John, make their home in downtown Lafayette.
Ivy Tech Community College is the state's largest public postsecondary institution and the nation's largest singly accredited statewide community college system serving nearly 200,000 students annually. Ivy Tech has campuses throughout Indiana. It serves as the state's engine of workforce development, offering affordable degree programs and training that are aligned with the needs of its communities. In addition, its courses and programs transfer to other colleges and universities in Indiana. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.
Ivy Tech Community College Lafayette serves Benton, Carroll, Clinton, Fountain, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Warren and White counties with campuses in Lafayette, Crawfordsville, Monticello and Frankfort. Ivy Tech Lafayette touches the lives of over 12,000 students each academic year and offers associate degrees and certificates in 42 programs in the areas of business, health sciences, computing, technology, nursing, public services, education, applied science, engineering technology, and liberal arts.

Fisher Paykel Eco IWL16 leaks only on hot
My Fisher Paykel Eco IWL16 Washer leaks only on the hot temperature. Water comes out the bottom right rear of the machine. It does not do this on any of the other cycles. What could be the problem be?
There's no reason why leaking would occur only on a hot fill. You may be overlooking some info related to the situation. Hot temperature is not a cycle unto itself, it's a selectable user option. Perhaps provide details on exactly what are all the settings/options you're using when the leaking occurs, what point in the cycle sequence it happens, and what is different about the settings when the leaking does not occur. Troubleshooting a water leak pretty much requires a visual observation when it's happening.
I popped the top off the machine last night and rang it in diagnostic mode. I discovered that when there are no clothes in the machine and it recirculates the water coming out of the recirculating tube, the water splashes out the back of the of the tub collar in the area of the hump on the tub collar. The water runs down the outside of the tub and onto the floor. I think this is because the gap between the tub collar and the tub is to narrow to let all the water cascade into the tub when there are no clothes in the machine. This creates an issue when I run the tub clean cycle. However when I run it with clothes the gap between the tub collar and tub is wide enough to let the water cascade into the tub 100%. I believe the weight of the clothes widens the gap. Should I get a new Tub Collar and see if this solves my problem when running the machine in the Tub Clean Cycle? If there was a gasket in the hump area to prevent water from splashing back and out of the tub collar this would be ideal. Could it be that my tub collar has been deformed due to overloading the machine?
How would overloading deform the tub cover?
The recirculation hose fits into a notch at top of the tub, with a grommet/gasket there to fit in the notch around the end of the hose. Check if the hose perhaps has shifted out of proper position.
The gap between the rim of the drum and the tub cover varies because the drum floats upward about 3/8" when the tub fills with water (via air caught under the base). This is part of the automatic water level sensing process. A larger load is heavier when saturated with water so holds the drum longer from floating, which the machine interprets as calling for a higher water level. Floating also is required to disengage the drum from the drive cog so the agitator can oscillate separately. The machine senses when the drum has floated by pulsing the drive motor and reading the rotational inertia.
The water level during recirculation is purposely kept low enough so the drum does not float and the gap for the recirculation flow is at maximum distance ... the drum is driven to rotate at 25 RPM during recirculation so must remain engaged to the drive cog. If your drum is floated during recirculation for the Tub Clean cycle (minimum gap) then the machine may be overfilling for the recirculation phase or excess sudsing may be causing the drum to float when it shouldn't.
Thank you for the detailed information because I did find that the recirculation black tube was moved over slightly. I did move it over fractionally so hopefully this corrects the issue during the Tub Clean cycle. Also, thanks for the advice on the excess sudsing because the suds did come all the way up to the top of the lid. You have been a big help! Much appreciated!

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Pineta Palace Rome
Horrible Rooms
Hotel is very hard to find. Rooms are clean, very small, and have absolutely unusable bathrooms. Seems that they were designed by somebody, who didn't know that people have legs - you can literally brush your teeth while sitting on the toilet, that if will fit your legs uner the sink.
Basic, Clean, don't expect too much . . . .
We just came back from Rome after a week stayed in the Pineta Palace Hotel. We read all the reviews before we went to Rome and people seem to hae different opions about the hotel. Here are our opinions and hope they will be helpful: Frist, don't trust the MapQuest. The hotel is not even close to the Quinarel: it is on the other side of the river. The taxi in the airport wants 80 Euro to take us to the hotel so we opt to take the train/subway/bus. It took us about three hours but we got to know the Rome transportation quickly. If you are an adventurous, this is the hotel for you. After the second day, we found it is very easy to go to the City and all the main attractions. We found out the bus line 446 is less crowded than 994.The hotel has very basic service: no exercise room, swimming pool, no vending machine. It has limited TV stations - 9 Italian, 1 CNN, 1 BBC, 1G erman (sometimes), 1 Bloomberg.Our biggest complain about the hotel is the wall is very thin. We can hear people's activities from both sides of our rooms, which include TV, phone calls, and any other "personal" activities.The hotel serves a decent breakfast but after looking at the exactly the same breakfast for a week, we lost our appeptite.Since the hotel is in a residential area, it only has one restaurant in the area. We found a little pizza place which have excellent pizza (pianeta pizza) but it is a 15 minute walk.The hotel people are very curteous and prompt when we requested for services.Hope these feedback help you to plan your trip.
Clean but too far.
Just returned from a stay at the Pineta Palace. The rooms are very clean but the walls and doorways are thin. I could hear conversations from the room above and I thought that people in the hallway were in my room, ithat is how loud it was. I take exception to the information posted about the hotel on-line. It is not a short walk to the bus (there was road work also). It took about 10-15 min. The buses are few and far between and very, very crowded. As to being 15 minutes from the Vatican - even in a taxi it took longer. Plan to stay out for the day as it is very hard to return to the hotel to rest. The buses are confusing and I never did find the ones that returned to the hotel.
There are many different bus routes and some do not return on the same street where you got off. Next time I think I would opt for a hotel closer in - Rome is a very, very big city.
Good value hotel
This is an excellent value hotel. Clean, guiet and pleasant to stay in.
Its a bit of a distance from the centre of Rome but this is more than compensated for by the exxcellent facilities, quiet neighbourhood, helpful staff and low prices. I would recommend this hotel. We enjoyed our stay there and found no problems. The air conditioning is good and stayed on all night. You get a small balcony which is lovely to sit out on. The breakfast is OK and there is an excellent and cheap pizzaria just down the road (see previous review). Lots of tour companies use it but thats not a problem.
Pineta Palace
We are just back from Rome a great place to Visit.The Hotel is clean and tidy, although rooms decor is a little sus, it is quite a trek outside of the Centre not exactly a place you can nip back to to freshen up before going out in the centre for the evening.You take the tube to Cornellia on the A Line and then get the bus (994 or 446) or walk it, walking will take about 20-30 mins its about 1.75 miles from the Metro we waited about 20 min for the bus, and about 7 mins, bus ride.You can pick up Metro ticket from any Tabacconist or the Hotel reception and costs 0.77 for 75 min travel.We were on the 4th Floor had a Veranda and a view of St Peters Basillica in the distance.They have free safety Deposit Boxes in the MiniBar! which you can also put your own booze in, the TVs remote did not work and the picture was rubbish.But for all that we got a room in July for �70 a night in the height of the season, so the distance was well worth it, for the money we saved.Its a good clean Hotel about 2.5 Star in UK standards (Travel Inn)They do have there own website hotelpintapalace.Just around the corner from the Hotel is a great local cheap Pizza resturant and I can garrantee you will be the only non italians, and 2 pizzas, Beers, Cokes, Salads, Garlic bread and Gnooche came to around 30 Bargin you won't get that in the centre.
A decent enough hotel - visit July 2003
When you arrive at a hotel you have a real sense of anticipation - you hope it's going to be wonderful. Unfortunately the Pineta Palace wasn't all I'd hoped for.
It's not that the hotel was of a poor quality, but I expected more of a four star hotel (it didn't feel special).
However the room was clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. If your room isn't on the 8th floor - go to the ninth and check the view across the city. With St Peter's Basillica standing tall in the foreground it's just stunning!
Central Rome is a easy journey from the hotel - ensure you get on the right bus (446 though there maybe a couple of others) when coming back from Cornelia (metro station) to the hotel. There are very few taxis on the roads out that way so getting the wrong bus could cause all sorts of problems! Alternatively get a taxi from the centre it's about 10 euros (though it costs about 15 if ordered from the hotel - the meter starts running before the taxi arrives then).
Not a bad hotel if you don't mind not being in a central location.
After all it's just about 15 minutes to the centre!
Lovely friendly hotel
We stayed in Pineta Palace over New Year 02/03. We had a great time in this friendly hotel.
Admittedly it was quite a way out from the centre but we did not find this a problem, in fact, a friend of mine stayed close to the centre and she did not get any sleep as it was so noisy. The bus stop is only a 2min walk (yes thats proper 2mins not a travel agents 2mins which usually means 20mins) and they run very frequently - a bit like London's buses. The metro ride into Rome centre was pleasant and very unlike the underground over here in England. i would say in all it took us 10-15mins to get into Rome centre from the hotel.
We had a hotel room on the 8th floor which was lovely, we had a view of St Peters Church and could just make out the Colesseum. The room was very clean and we could even get CNN on the tv.
The hotel as a whole had a friendly atmosphere. The restaurant was nice as was the buffet breakfast. We had had our reservations about a 'continental buffet breakfast' but there was a huge variety of choice and we left feeling satisfied. The bar was fairly small but we usually spilled out into the reception area which was very sociable. They also had a bar menu which i had some very tasty chicken nuggets from! The staff at reception were extremely helpful and would always call a taxi for you if you wanted - taxi into the centre cost about �4.
We had a lovely stay and personally i could not really find fault with Pineta Palace, it is more of a conference hotel but still works for tourists such as ourselves!!

Travel Blogs from Rome
Buona Pascua
Easter in Rome: What could be better? We had Thursday and Friday off class, basically so we could enjoy Holy Week. We had an Art and Architecture class at Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four major basilicas in Rome, on Wednesday afternoon. It's a gorgeous church decorated with original 5th century mosaics in the nave. It also houses the relic of Jesus' crib, and relics of the apostles Matthew and Luke. That night, several of us went to dinner at a lovely, upscale, ...

After a few days, the kids were cultured out so we spent our last day at the Rome Zoo. It is one of the older zoos in the world and was a nice break from the museums and churches. We really enjoyed Rome and Italy and we definately have to come back here as there are so many other places to see. I think I have said that before! We are off to Germany next to spend some time with relatives and continue the eating spree.
Summer in Italy! (photos to come)
Campania 29 July - 2 August
We arrived in Naples on 29 July, checked in to our hostel (Hostel of the Sun) and then went for a wander around the old part of Naples. From our short visit Naples was kinda cool and better than a lot of people give it credit for. Sure it's a bit dirty and there's a lot of crazy traffic with no apparent road rules (crossing the road could be a little scary!) but it had a pretty cool character to it and I didn't feel unsafe at all, ...

Our most popular all-purpose garden beet; uniform and smooth, blood-red flesh that is sweet and tasty. Tall tops make good greens. Heirloom variety introduced in 1892. (55 days)
Each packet contains approximately 250 seeds.
Planting and Harvesting Tips:
This hardy vegetable prefers cooler climates and grows best in well drained, loose soil. Select a site with plenty of sun and dig down at least 10 inches to promote good root development. Sow successive crops all season long, starting 2-4 weeks before last frost in spring and continuing until a month before first frost in fall. Thin as plants develop and apply 4-8 inches of mulch to maintain moisture and limit weeds.
Begin harvest when roots reach 1 inch across (typically 55 to 70 days). Do not allow to grow larger than 3 inches or they will be tough and woody. Harvest greens before they reach 6 inches for best flavor — perfect for salads!

Following the German airline crash and all that's been reported about it, how are you feeling about flying?
I'm more nervous but will still be flying.
It was an isolated incident and won't stop me from flying.
Very frightening and I won't fly anytime soon.

The Senate just drove a stake into the Navy's high-tech heart. The directed energy and electromagnetic weapons intended to protect the surface ships of the future? Terminated.
The Free Electron Laser and the Electromagnetic Rail Gun are experimental weapons that the Navy hope will one day burn missiles careening toward their ships out of the sky and fire bullets at hypersonic speeds at targets thousands of miles away. Neither will be ready until at least the 2020s, the Navy estimates. But the Senate Armed Services Committee has a better delivery date in mind: never.
The committee approved its version of the fiscal 2012 defense authorization bill on Friday, priced to move at $664.5 billion, some $6.4 billion less than what the Obama administration wanted. The bill "terminates" the Free Electron Laser and the rail gun, a summary released by the committee gleefully reports.
"The determination was that the Free Electron Laser has the highest technical risk in terms of being ultimately able to field on a ship, so we thought the Navy could better concentrate on other laser programs," explains Rick DeBobes, the chief of staff for the committee. "With the Electromagnetic Rail Gun, the committee felt the technical challenges to developing and fielding the weapon would be daunting, particularly [related to] the power required and the barrel of the gun having limited life."
Imagine the size of those sharks required for such huge laser weapons.
That joke is now 14 years, 1 month, and 19 days old.
