Program Description: |
The Washington Center(3 credit program)
Washington, D.C.
May 27 to August 8, 2015
Students may participate in the TWC internship program for either the fall or spring semester, or during the 10-week summer program. TWC offers experiential learning within an academic structure in order to encourage academic, civic, professional and personal development. TWC's unique format includes a 4 1/2 day-per-week internship, an academic course held once a week and an independent study supervised by Dickinson College professor. In addition, students attend a presidential lecture series, a congressional breakfast series and may take advantage of many other opportunities such as tours, discussions and social and cultural activities. Students are encouraged to combine this semester internship experience with an additional semester in a Dickinson study abroad program.
Washington, D.C.
Although the program is based in Washington, D.C. and most of the internship sites will be located within the city limits, it is possible for students to take advantage of internship opportunities almost anywhere within the Washington metropolitan area by using public transportation.
The summer internship program offered by The Washington Center (TWC), Dickinson's partner program in Washington D.C., provides students with the opportunity to experience and explore various career paths while sampling the intellectual and cultural diversity of our nation's capital. The Dickinson Summer Program in Washington integrates seamlessly into a well rounded Dickinson education that is designed to promote future success and leadership in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors of society. This 3-credit program is open to all majors.
The TWC internship program includes three major components:
Internship (1 credit):
Students are offered several internship opportunities based on preferences expressed on their application, and then are free to decide which internship offer to accept. Students work at their internship sites 4 to 4.5 days a week. The internship experience is graded jointly by the internship site supervisor and the TWC program supervisor. The grade earned is reported on the
Academic Course (1 credit):
Students also enroll in a TWC academic course, which meets once a week in the evening for approximately 2.5 hours at various sites around the city. As with the internship, students earn a letter grade for the academic course taken and that is reported on the Dickinson transcript, but the grade is not calculated as part of the student's GPA.
Independent Study (1 credit):
Each student identifies a faculty member who is willing and able to work with him or her on an independent study that is closely aligned with the student's internship interests. Faculty members and students negotiate (by phone and e-mail) the scope, direction, and details of the independent study project as the internship experience unfolds. The faculty supervisor will normally make one on-site visit to Washington D.C. during the course of the summer to confer with the student about progress on the independent study project and to get a general sense for the quality of the student's TWC experience. Students receive a letter grade for the independent study project and that grade is calculated into the GPA.
Leadership Forum
The Leadership Forum is a key component of the Washington Center experience. Students have the opportunity to listen to and engage with distinguished speakers, including cabinet members, ambassadors and members of Congress. Students will also participate in community engagement projects.
The Portfolio
Students will develop a portfolio, the components of which document, analyze and reflect on the internship experience. The final project provides prospective employers, as well as graduate and professional schools, with impressive evidence of students' accomplishments.
This program requires students to have:
- 2.8 GPA; sophomores and juniors
- Open to all majors. All students must have a declared major at the time of application
As a part of the review process students' conduct records and account status are also reviewed. Students and their parents should note that the review process takes all elements of the student's academic record into consideration and that even if a student has the required minimum GPA and language prerequisites, he or she may not be admitted.
Students who have questions about the review process or their particular candidacy for a program should come into the Center for Global Study and Engagement for advising.
Center staff will not discuss students' applications with parents, friends or any other party without the student's consent and presence in the conversation.
What areas of study are available?
Students on the TWC program earn credit applicable to majors in a wide array of subjects, from Africana Studies to Computer Science to Law and Policy. The program is open to all majors.
How do I find a Dickinson faculty member to work with on my ISP?
You should contact a faculty member who is most closely aligned with the area in which you would like to do your independent study as soon as you begin thinking about doing the Washington Semester program. See Guidelines for the ISP.
How will my Dickinson ISP advisor stay in touch while I am in Washington?
You will stay in regular contact with your ISP adviser by email throughout your semester in Washington. Your adviser will also pay you a visit at your internship site sometime during the semester at which time you can give him or her a site visit before or after meeting to discuss your progress on the ISP.
Will I have access to the Dickinson library while I am in Washington?
Yes, you should be able to access all of Dickinson College's library electronic resources as if you were on campus. In addition, TWC personnel will be able to advise you on local library access once you are settled in to your internship.
How many credits will I earn?
Students earn 4 credits for the semester-long program and 3 credits for the summer term.
Will the courses count towards my major?
Credits earned at TWC will automatically be counted as general credit toward graduation. If you would like to apply to have any of your TWC credits to count toward your major, you must complete the Enrollment in Another Institution form when you return from TWC. If you will be seeking credit toward the major, we strongly advise that you meet with the chair of your major department before you leave for Washington. Since you may not know what your TWC course or internship will be until close to the time you actually start work in Washington, it may not be possible to get the approval you seek ahead of time, but you can at least explain your plans and let the chair know you will be e-mailing him or her to seek this approval once you get to Washington and have your course and internship set up. Save the email response you get as documentation of the chair's approval (assuming you get it), then get the chair's signature on the form below after you return to campus.
Will they count in my GPA?
The grade you receive for the independent study project (1 credit) is calculated into your Dickinson GPA. Grades for the course and internship are not calculated into your GPA.
During times when the students are not interning, taking classes, or working on an independent study project, they may find themselves participating in any number of ancillary TWC activities, including:
- Congressional Breakfast Series
- Presidential Lecture Series
- Embassy Visit Program
- Small group discussions and professional workshops
- Volunteer activity in the local community
The Washington Center arranges additional excursions for students.
When will I find out where and when we're travelling?
Specific dates for site visits and events in and around the Washington, D.C. metro area will be organized and announced during the semester.
Can a friend or family member who is not on the program also travel with us?
No, unfortunately, for logistical and academic reasons non program participants are not able to join the program for excursions.
Are excursions optional?
Not necessarily. These excursions are linked to your academic program and, in some cases, content delivered through the excursion will be relevant to a student's assessment. All students should plan to participate in all excursions. It is each student's responsibility to be where they need to be in order to participate fully in each academic excursion.
When is orientation?
Professor Hoefler conducts orientation on campus prior to student's participation on the TWC program. TWC will have an on-site orientation when students arrive in Washington, D.C. TWC will also be in contact with students during the internship selection process prior to the start of the program.
What are the program dates?
May 27 - August 8, 2015
What if my family wants to visit me?
If you have family or friends who are planning to visit you, please do not make travel plans until you arrive at the program and become familiar with your internship and schedule. It is not acceptable to miss time at your internship or class for personal travel.
Can I arrive early or stay after the program ends?
Housing is not available for students who arrive early or stay after the internship program has ended. Student may not arrive late for the start of the program.
How much does the program cost?
The cost for the 2015 program is TBD, but to give students and idea of cost, the 2014 three credit summer program cost $17,425.00 and included tuition (including independent study with Dickinson faculty member), room, and local transportation for academic purposes (not personal activities). A board plan is not available on this program and, therefore, is not charged. Students must be prepared to have access to money to cover the cost of food (students live in shared apartments and have access to a full kitchen for cooking). Travel to and from Washington, D.C. is not covered.
Is financial aid available?
Financial aid is available for eligible students to help cover one of the three credits of the summer program. Students who would like to be considered for financial aid can request it via Dickinson's online application.
Are additional scholarships available from TWC?
Yes, there are a number of scholarships available from TWC; please see the TWC website for scholarship information.
How much extra money do I need to bring?
This depends on you. We encourage students to engage their host city in meaningful ways during their semester off-campus. Fortunately, Washington, D.C. offers plenty of free and low-cost activities including world-class museums, concerts, and outdoor events. An estimate of personal expenses is included on the budget sheet, but it really depends on you and your spending habits.
Will I receive a stipend?
No, you will not receive a stipend on the Washington Center program.
Can I work part-time?
The TWC program requires many hours of time at the internship site, in seminars, and engaging the community. It is conceivable that students could work part-time, though it may be difficult. International students may not work for pay due to visa requirements.
How do I access health care at TWC?
All students are required to have health insurance; typically this will be the same policy you have in place when you study at Dickinson. Students will receive a list of nearby medical facilities and mental health resources from TWC. Students should check with their health insurance provider to determine how to best cover care.
What if I become seriously ill or an emergency arises?
At orientation, you'll be briefed on emergency policies and procedures; please follow these procedures in the event of a medical or other emergency. The health and safety of students is very important to The Washington Center and TWC staff is available to assist students.
Do I need to buy additional insurance for the program?
No, your regular health insurance should cover you while you are in Washington. International students are required to maintain the regular college health insurance policy which will cover you while you are in D.C.
Where will I live?
Students share an apartment with other TWC interns in the Residential Facility located near Capitol Hill or in nearby Silver Spring, Maryland. Housing facilities are located in well-lit, high traffic areas that provide excellent security and comfortable surroundings. Laundry facilities and high-speed wireless internet are provided. There is close, easy access to Washington's Metro subway system, shops, restaurants, and convenience stores.
Will I have a meal plan?
No board plan is available on this program. Students have access to a full kitchen in their apartment for preparing meals. Students often enjoy taking turns cooking group meals with fellow interns. Students need to be prepared to pay for their food costs on this program.
Are internships available?
Yes, of course--The Washington Center program is based on the internship component in which all students participate!
Can I conduct research while at TWC?
The independent study component will allow you to further investigate a compelling subject of your choosing. The Student International Research Fund (SIRF) was established to help students studying abroad Dickinson and Dickinson Partner Programs with extra travel costs associated with independent research projects. Students are encouraged to present their research at the International Research Symposium when they return to campus.
What is a visa?
A visa is a document, normally affixed within your passport, which allows you to enter the country and stay for the duration of your program. The requirements for the visa and visa process are controlled by the government of the country you are entering, are non-negotiable, and can change regularly. If you arrive without the proper visa, you will be sent home by immigration officers at your own expense.
Do I need a visa?
Since TWC is located in Washington, D.C., U.S. citizens do not need to complete any visa applications in order to study there. If you are an international student, contact Marlena Meikrantz or Jackie Wong to discuss any changes you may need to make to your visa status.
Global Ambassadors
Global Ambassadors are returning off-campus studies students who serve as peer advisors for their program. Please feel free to contact them for a student perspective.
Isaiah Boswell
firstname.lastname@example.com name is Isaiah Boswell; I major in International Business and minor in Economics and Spanish. I spent the spring of 2014 in Washington, D.C. enrolled at The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars, better known as TWC. TWC is an amazing opportunity that offers its students housing, an internship position, academic courses, community service options, and various seminars that focus on career building. The academic course that I took was called Essentials for Aspiring Leaders and it highlighted the skills necessary for young professionals to become successful leaders in both the profit and non-profit sectors of our society. Further, I had the pleasure of interning in the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Strategic Employee Organization & Development (OSEOD). While there I spent time analyzing evaluation data from employees who had previously taken courses offered by OSEOD for a department-wide Return on Investment Project. Lastly, for my civic engagement commitment I advocated on behalf of education in D.C. public schools by volunteering my time each week to assist students who had below average reading skills. Overall, this eye opening experience introduced me to facets of the federal government that I never knew existed and as a result it led me to discover that I had a strong interest in how our nation's financial institutions are managed and regulated. With that being said, I took the steps necessary to further my understanding of my newfound interest by obtaining a summer employment opportunity with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a premier financial regulatory agency. In closing, I can honestly say that my opportunity with FDIC would have not been made possible if TWC had not adequately prepared me for it.

Exclusive Interview with Mike Masaoka (transcript)
MASAOKA: We're telling the government, they have all the cards in their favor. Look, we are going to do this. We're going to work with you to the best of our ability. We'll try to do these things and in turn we want you to be as humane as possible. Let the people out of camp as soon as possible. All of that, you see.
At those times, we were trying to put out a certain face, to the government. That's what it was.
ABE: You told me in 1981 that it was a shibai [a Japanese word for "show" or "performance"].
MASAOKA: Well, it was a kind of a shibai.
ABE: What's a shibai?
MASAOKA: It was kind of...I shouldn't say it publicly, but it was. You know, actually, we were trying to...We were pretty desperate.

"A landmark study of the continuing corporatization of higher education. It is unique: no other work has its depth and thoroughness regarding one particular (and particularly important) university-industry relationship." Christopher Newfield, author of Ivy and Industry: Business and the Making of the American University, 1880-1980 (Duke University Press) "The book provides fascinating details of the deal, the players and the controversy, and does an admirable job of empirically and qualitatively measuring the effects of the agreement on scientific research. It succeeds in its aim of analyzing the UCB-N deal...In short, Universities in the Age of Corporate Science is a compelling and detailed description of the events surrounding the UCB-N deal. It should be enjoyed by all those who follow the evolution of university-industry relations, offering as it does a unique look at how the collaboration was made." Nature "The book does deliver on its promote of a thorough review of how the UCB-Novartis agreement emerged, justifications for moving it forward, and its ultimate impact." NCURA Newsletter "The book explores the uproar surrounding the Berkeley-Novartis agreement...Although no misconduct was uncovered by the study, the deal's scrutiny calls for a multilevel and ongoing dialogue on the future of land grant and research universities, the authors note." August 2007 University Business "Universities in the Age of Corporate Science would be of interest to students and faculty in a variety of disciplines and degree levels. Agricultural science students and faculty should be most encouraged to read this study, as it contains much information on where these fields have been and in what directions the research is going. This would also be good reading for those in the social sciences studying the conflicts that arise from the interaction of private interests and public good." Agriculture and Human Values Ler mais...

AUX Fest, an experimental arts festival held at several venues in downtown Athens, Ga., returns this Sat., April 10 for its fourth annual event. AUX4, as it's been dubbed, will feature musical performances from over 20 artists, art installations, a bevy of video screenings and more.
AUX has done much to further the art/experimental scene in Athens. Back in October, the group brought krautrock legends Faust to town for a 40 Watt performance and musical workshop.
As an attendee of previous AUX gatherings, I can say that the festival is well worth the measly $5 pass, which gets you access to all the goings-on. This year's musical lineup looks to be a doozy, with Chicago weirdos/ex-Need New Body folks Michael Columbia and Brooklyn guitar/viola duo Mary Halvorson & Jessica Pavone effectively headlining the festivities.

Latuca sativa Planting Tips: Sow directly into very fertile, loose soil. Thin down to final spacing once plants are established. For best results, plant in spring or fall. Harvest outside leaves for a continual harvest. For longer harvest, stagger plantings every 2-3 weeks. Heat Tolerance: If you are growing lettuce in the heat, plant them where they will get afternoon shade. Lettuce is a spring and fall crop in really hot areas. Harvest Tips: For a continual harvest, sow every 2-3 weeks a new crop if cutting full heads, otherwise harvesting outside leaves will encourage a longer harvest from individual plants. Seeding Rate: 30,000 plants/acre, aproximately 2 oz. Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot. |

drifter - Unregistered August 07, 2012 11:52 AM now if thats true thenVale 3-4 races and he will be fighting for a winDUC-Cal/Nicky/ScottBYE BYE DOVi (not a champ material he will always be consistent but cannot win races)Ben go to WSBKAnd if AUDI put a hell of $$ and in 2 yrs duc is sorted then it could be worse for jap becuz duc is fastest it just need to be agilemore bad news for VALe but it is started with IF 19 agree 42 disagree
Grannie Jane - Unregistered August 07, 2012 11:55 AM I think the last couple of years have taught Rossi how to lose. He has learnt humility. This will make him stronger but more balanced in his attitude. If he is no.2, so be it.He will come back determined to win but realise there is no shame in losing to a rider like Lorenzo.The Ducati experiment was a disaster as he went against his original instincts (c.f. his book) but now he will fulfil his desire to end his motogp career with Yamaha.I look forward to competitive racing. 105 agree 17 disagree
roadking03 - Unregistered August 07, 2012 11:56 AM Should be an interesting season for 2013, should Rossi go to Yamaha.. Might have some good racing between him and Lorenzo, but not sure if it will fix the problem they are currently having with the race's being close from the top 4 back...just have to wait and see I guess....race on!!!!!!!!!! 8 agree 2 disagree
Nick636 August 07, 2012 12:07 PM Last Edited 1001 days ago He may have one or two good races on the Yam, but he will not be winning the title... No way.So much for "I have no interest in leaving Ducati, we will make this work..."... PFFFT! HAHAHAAs for the first poster, Dovi has 3 straight podiums on the satellite Yam and 4 podiums in total this year... Tech3 are NOT a new team, and he's already given them their best season ever just about. I bet he would've won on the factory bike. Anything to make yourselves feel better I guess. So I guess results really DO mean NOTHING!CAL, PLEASE GO TO DUCATI AND PUT THAT THING ON THE PODIUM! Reply Report abuse 39 agree 60 disagree
Shuchit - Unregistered August 07, 2012 12:08 PM Vale 46 better win with Yamaha or else Vale hAter will create New history of critics 46 GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 agree 4 disagree
Nick636 August 07, 2012 12:11 PM PennoDon't we just WISH!!! That would be utterly SPECTACULAR! Reply Report abuse 9 agree 4 disagree
Dylan - Unregistered August 07, 2012 12:12 PM it makes sense Ducati signing Rayden so early. Rossi leaving the team will be a major morale blow for the team. I think Rossi should stay with Ducati if he wins the title next year with Yamaha its gonna be just another title and people will say he had the best bike. If he stays with Ducati and win the title in 1 or 2 years time his legacy will be much bigger than winning 2013 with Yamaha. I feel for Dovi as next years Yamaha won't be the same for the satellite teams. Hope he goes back to HRC! 9 agree 14 disagree
BoZz - Unregistered August 07, 2012 12:13 PM And let's. It hear anyone talk about Rossi being a quitter!.. He wants to go out trying to be the worlds best then good luck to him. If he stays with Ducati then the next two years may be a waste. I'll respect him no matter what, but let's face it, if you had two years left, wouldnt you want them to be possibly the best you could get out of them? 115 agree 87 disagree
Mick - Unregistered August 07, 2012 12:16 PM Man Motogp is going to be dire next year!with Casey leaving and also probably Dovi and Spies its just going to be Lorenzo domination. really hope Rossi can be competitive again. 35 agree 4 disagree
BmwZeke August 07, 2012 12:17 PM ThoughtIF Rossi leaves Duc, Crutchlow to Duc, Spies gone, dovi gone. Then Tech 3 is ????? Bradl.The endless theories. Lets go racing and stop the drama.MotoGP losing all the up and coming riders. Oh No. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 4 disagree

Big Mama's Rib Shack Restaurant Review: Mama's place hardly looks like a country rib shack, thanks to the premises' former tenant, a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant with trendy aspirations. The mirrored room is stylishly spare, with walls painted in cinnamon, mocha and pumpkin hues, and some tables dressed in white linen. With a blend of Louisiana comfort and Southern barbecue, the seemingly endless menu starts with fried oysters, hush puppies, a blackened chicken salad, and spicy jambalaya or gumbo. Fried chicken comes with two thighs and one leg, while white meat can be ordered for a small surcharge. Beef tri-tip, fried pork chops and blackened spicy shrimp are among the house favorites; but the fried catfish is a bit heavy and the baby-back ribs, while full of flavor, just don't pull off the bones like at some of the city's top rib joints. Classic sides of black-eyes peas, fried okra and cornbread complete the necessary Southern additions, though one should save space for homemade desserts like peach cobbler, red velvet cake and sweet potato pie. |

If it's a laptop for gaming that you're after, boutique system builder Digital Storm has four new pixel-pushing models to choose from, including the 15.6-inch Javelin and Lance, and 17.3-inch Krypton and Behemoth. All four models sport Nvidia's recently introduced GeForce GTX 800M Series graphics, and to kick off the launch of these new machines, Digital Storm is giving away a Krypton.
We'll start with the contest. To enter, Digital Storm requires that you Tweet or Instagram a photo of your "ramshackeled laptop" using the hastag #DSThrowbackContest. Out of the photos it receives, Digital Storm will choose the most broken down and decrepit laptop and give the owner a Krypton.
As for the four laptop models now available, pricing starts at $1,196 for the Javelin, $1,430 for the Lance, $1,478 for the Krypton, and $2,289 for the Behemoth, the last of which comes standard with an Intel Core i7 4810MQ processor, 16GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, 128GB solid state drive, 750GB hard drive, Nvidia GTX 880M graphics, DVD burner, Wireless-N, and Windows 8.1.
Depending on your budget, you can add various upgrades, including SLI graphics and multiple drives in a RAID array. You can check out all the models and options on Digital Storm's website.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Wednesday - February 08, 2012
From: Blacksburg, VA
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Turf, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Native grasses and turf grass for VA
Answered by: Anne Bossart
I recently moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. I am becoming involved with a church here that recently started a grounds committee. There is some discussion within the group of which varieties of native grasses to plant. Some sections of the grounds are shaded, and some have full exposure. Fully exposed areas are currently covered by turf grasses. Big blue stem, little blue stem, switch grass, Indian grass are under consideration for exposed sites. Should any of these be removed from consideration for this region? Should any species be added? As a recent transplant from north Texas, my mind gravitates towards buffalo grass, but I don't know if I am out of its native range here. Is it important to consider ratios for each species for getting these plants established? Another consideration is that some of the exposed areas are intended for foot traffic.ANSWER:
All the grasses you mention for the exposed area are good choices for your area and are ornamental as well.
Andropogon gerardii (Big bluestem)
Schizachyrium scoparium (Little bluestem)
Panicum virgatum (Switchgrass)
Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass)
For the shadier areas you might want to also consider
Bouteloua curtipendula (Sideoats grama)
Chasmanthium latifolium (Inland sea oats)
Deschampsia cespitosa (Tufted hairgrass)
or one of the many carex's native to your area like
Carex pensylvanica (Pennsylvania sedge)
These grasses are all best used planted in drifts and not mowed to appreciate their ornamental qualities.
In the areas where you anticipate foot traffic you are looking for a suitable turfgrass. It is not so easy to find a native one as most of the grasses used for lawns in North America are non-native adapted species. That is because before European contact, turf grasses were only present in areas where there were openings in the forest that covered your part of the country. You will find more information on that subject at americanlawns.com, this USDA publication and this article on lesslawn.com.
As you suspected, Bouteloua dactyloides (Buffalograss) is a possibility for your situation. It is native to sunny, dry sites from Minnesota to Mexico but is present in Virginia. You can also consider Festuca rubra (Red fescue) and other fescue mixes such as Eco-Lawn (which is not entirely native) and available from one of our associates Wildflower Farm. You can learn more about Buffalo grass lawns and (just for interest's sake as you will always be a Texan) Habiturf from our How to Articles on the topic.

Beautiful candelabra
By Scarlett
from Liverpool
About Me Midrange Shopper
Stylish and eye catching for any dining table
Love this candelabra
By bettyboo
from milton keynes
This candelabra look fabulous on the dinning room table, have been looking for a three arm shabby chic with droplets for a long time and came across this one which fits the bill perfectly.
Service and delivery comments:
I reserved this item along with another for store collection, I wish I hadn't. The service I received was terrible, one item had been returned to the shelf although I had only reserved the day prior and then they had to try and find it and I had little miss misery serving me so not a great experience, although I would buy again from Dunelm, I will not use this service.
Delightfully shabby chic.
By Annie C
from Wakefield, West Yorkshire
I wanted something for my living room that was elegant, pretty and with a shabby chic look. This beautiful candelabra fits the bill perfectly. My only gripe (and it's a small one) is that the base is ever so slightly uneven, which means there's a slight wobble.

I could sing hosannas about Mint's appetizers, its chicken wings stuffed with minced, marinated pork and chicken, its golden spring rolls filled with glass noodles and ground chicken, and its satay skewers of grilled clucker accompanied by sides of sliced, syrupy cucumbers and peanut dip -- all more savory than the average Thai bistro. The "golden nests" are adorable and delish: shredded potato molded into a cup, baked, then crammed full of chicken, green beans and carrots. Spoon some sweet-and-sour condiment over it, and the insides turn moist with flavor.
Hours: Lunch, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Saturday, noon to 3 p.m. Dinner, Monday through
Thursday, 5 to 9:30 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 5 to 10 p.m. Closed Sunday.
Singha beer is the drink of choice here. As the great Shane MacGowan of Pogues fame once sang in his pirate-like croak, "Singha beer don't ask no questions, Singha beer don't tell no lies." Beer doesn't go with dessert, though, so switch to Thai iced tea when you order the sticky rice with mango, the confection of kings! So good, I've forgotten all about Arma--, Arma-- . . . now what was the name of that hole?

Last updated 11/16/14
Veteran reliever Jamey Wright has agreed to a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays. Wright, 38, spent last season as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Wright will look to pitch in his 18th season by winning a job in the Rays bullpen. Last season he had success in a similar arrangement with the Dodgers finishing with a 3.72 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP in 67 2/3 innings of work.
Should Wright make the Rays it will be his sixth different team in as many seasons.
Tampa Bay also signed Juan Carlos Oviedo to a minor league deal. Ovideo previously was known as Leo Nunez. He will not figure into the Rays plans as he will spend much of the season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery in September.

Journal of Political Economy, 1987, vol. 95, issue 4, pages 675-709
Abstract: This paper examines the marginal efficiency cost of various factor taxes in a dynamic general-equilibrium model. The au thor solves for the excess burden of anticipated and unanticipated, t emporary and permanent, tax policies. Using a range of estimates for taste and technology parameters, he finds excess burdens larger than those indicated by previous studies that use static models. These exc ess burdens are sensitive to parameter values and timing. However, th e rankings of alternative tax policies turn out to be insensitive to structural parameter values.

Enjoyed our "Tipico" Puglia meal at this low-key restaurant; handmade orichiette di rapa was a highlight of meals we ate in Puglia.
Very authentic local cuisine, but also very limited menu. no major complaints but totally average in my opinion. Some portions were very small and one pasta dish was served with barely any sauce -some parts were even white- pretty skimpy! The orrechiette with rape were very good. -a long wait for service. we didn't mind, but could be an issue.... More

Daily Challenge Monday Nov. 08, 2010
Roll, roll, roll your shoulders gently 5 times.
How to do it
Today, do five shoulder rolls -- forwards and in reverse. Before you do this exercise, sit up straight (straighten your back and slightly lift your chin), relax your shoulders, and take a deep breath. Inhale as you slowly stretch your shoulders back and then lift them up toward your ears. Hold this position for about three to five seconds while breathing easily. Then, slowly roll your shoulders forward and allow them to relax downward into normal position. Repeat five times in both directions. Discontinue immediately if you feel any pain or discomfort and consult your healthcare professional.
Why it matters
The shoulder roll is a simple exercise with big benefits. It's particularly good to do if you sit in front of a computer or at a desk for long periods of time. Rolling your shoulders releases muscle tension in your neck, back, and throat and in the shoulders themselves. This in turn helps prevent muscle strain and stiffness. Shoulder rolls also increase range of motion in your shoulders and upper back, and can improve your posture and balance.
Fun fact
To give someone "the cold shoulder" is to snub them. People say that during the Middle Ages, unwanted guests were given cold shoulder of beef or mutton (instead of hot food) until they finally left.
That was nice to release all this stress.

COURT OF APPEALS DECISION DATED AND FILED August 1, 2013 Diane M. Fremgen Clerk of Court of Appeals |
This opinion is subject to further editing. If published, the official version will appear in the bound volume of the Official Reports. A party may file with the Supreme Court a petition to review an adverse decision by the Court of Appeals. See Wis. Stat. § 808.10 and Rule 809.62. |
Appeal No. |
Cir. Ct. No. 2011CV5016 |
NNM Funding Group, LLC, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. NNM Management Group, Inc., Defendant-Appellant. |
APPEAL from an order of the circuit court for Dane County: Maryann Sumi, Judge. Affirmed.
Before Blanchard, P.J., Sherman and Kloppenburg, JJ.
¶1 PER CURIAM. NNM Management Group, Inc. ("Management") appeals an order granting the motion of NNM Funding Group, LLC ("Funding") for judgment on the pleadings, requiring Management to transfer its Class A units to Funding for zero dollars, and dismissing Management's counterclaim. The court upheld an appraiser's valuation of the Class A units at zero dollars. Management argues that judgment on the pleadings was inappropriate because it pled sufficient facts to state a claim challenging the validity of the appraisal based upon Funding's alleged bad faith for supplying inaccurate and misleading information to the appraiser. We affirm the order because we conclude that the counterclaim fails to allege sufficient facts to challenge the appraisal.[1]
¶2 Management and Funding each owned Class A units of Hot Shots Nuclear Medicine LLC. They entered into a contract requiring Management to sell its Class A units to Funding at a price to be determined by a qualified, independent appraiser. The parties selected an appraiser, which, using information supplied by Funding, valued the Class A shares at zero dollars. Management disagreed with the evaluation and refused to transfer ownership of the units.
¶3 Funding commenced the present action, requesting a declaratory judgment and an order requiring Management to transfer ownership of the units for zero dollars. Management filed a counterclaim, seeking to set aside the appraisal, arguing that Funding provided false and misleading information to the appraiser, which constitutes fraud, bad faith, and breach of the agreement's implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The circuit court held that Management did not plead fraud with sufficient particularity and allowed Management to amend its counterclaim. When Management did not submit an amended counterclaim, the court granted Funding's motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed Management's counterclaim.
¶4 We review a judgment on the pleadings without deference to the circuit court. Freedom from Religion Foundation, Inc. v. Thompson, 164 Wis. 2d 736, 741, 476 N.W.2d 318 (Ct. App. 1991). To determine whether judgment on the pleadings is appropriate, we employ the first two steps of summary judgment methodology. Id. That is, we first determine whether the complaint or counterclaim states a claim. If it does, we determine whether the answer shows that a material factual dispute exists. Id.
¶5 In Farmer's Auto Ins. Ass'n v. Union Pac. Ry. Co., 2009 WI 73, ¶¶42-45, 319 Wis. 2d 52, 768 N.W.2d 596, our supreme court explained that appraisal awards contracted to by the parties are "presumptively valid," and therefore judicial review of challenges to such appraisals "should usually be limited to the face of the award." However, the court further explained, if it is "reasonably implicated" that an appraiser's work was flawed due to "fraud, bad faith, material mistake, or a lack of understanding of the process," then it is "within a judge's discretion to allow further inquiry or discovery," bearing in mind that courts "must not substitute their judgment for that of the appraisers." Id., ¶45.
¶6 Here, Management's counterclaim shows no defect on the face of the appraisal. Indeed, the appraisal itself was not attached to the pleadings and is not a part of the record on appeal, making it impossible to establish facial invalidity. The mere allegation of "recent positive performance of Hot Shots" does not, by itself, establish facial invalidity of the appraisal. Further, Management does not allege sufficient facts to support a claim of fraud, bad faith, material mistake, or a lack of an understanding of the process. For example, the counterclaim does not identify any specific incorrect fact that Funding supplied to the appraiser. It also does not identify the appraiser's method, which would be necessary to establish the significance of any misrepresented fact.
¶7 Accordingly, we conclude that Management's counterclaim fails to allege sufficient facts to challenge the appraisal.
By the Court.—Order affirmed.
This opinion will not be published. See Wis. Stat. Rule 809.23(1)(b)5.
[1] Because we conclude that Management's counterclaim failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted, we need not address other issues raised on appeal, specifically, whether there is a heightened pleading requirement for allegations of bad faith, whether separating a breach of contract claim from a bad faith claim is required for purposes of pleading, or whether a bad faith claim is cognizable to challenge the validity of an appraisal outside of an insurance context.

I'm trying to develop an application that will load classes that have been added to it's classpath at runtime. The names of these classes will not be known until runtime although I will know a type since they will all implement an interface so:
ClassA myClass = new ClassB
won't work since I don't know ClassB until runtime.

"Happiness is a Warm Gun" for ArtOfficial (Video)
In retrospect we should have seen this coming. After bringing their live hip-hop sound to classic cuts like Jimi Hendrix' Voodoo Child and Jay-Z's Show Me What You Got, ArtOfficial is now tackling the biggest rock group of all-time with their rendition of the Beatle's Happiness is a Warm Gun. The latest episode in their string of behind-the-scenes videos chronicling the recording of their new album The Payback, slated to be released on April 23, Happiness is a Warm Gun is an inside look at the group's creative process. Now we just have to make sure no one in ArtOfficial marries Yoko Ono.
Be sure to stay tuned for more exclusive footage as ArtOfficial prepares to unleash their musical payback upon the world.

Boise, Idaho–based architectural designer Macy Miller built her own 196-square-foot home, which she shares with her partner, James Herndon, their newborn, Hazel, and the family's Great Dane, Denver. The exterior cladding, which Miller stained for a uniform effect, is a mix of nearly a dozen types of wood plank, including poplar, oak, and fir.
An enthusiastic cook, Miller says she can easily work in the galley-style kitchen. The reclaimed-wood surround echoes the exterior cladding.
In the bathroom, a chrome waterfall faucet by LightInTheBox tops a 12.6-inch-square Mini Nova basin by Barclay; a retractable Ikea mirror is the only concession to vanity.
Porcelain floor tile from Daltile is a durable, easy-to-clean substitute for wood. The family does laundry in an efficient Summit SPWD1800 washer-dryer combination unit. Miller saved money in the kitchen by using a reclaimed sink and faucet and drawer pulls from Ikea.

Sequester Won't Spur U.S. AAA Rating Downgrade, Fitch Says
While triggering the U.S. spending cuts known as the sequester and a government shutdown won't prompt a ratings downgrade, those outcomes "erode confidence" of achieving deficit reduction needed to sustain the nation's top credit grade, according to Fitch Ratings.
