36. Prevent dizziness: People drink tea for a variety of health reasons, but many older adults do not realize that black tea could reduce their dizziness when standing up. The tea boosts blood pressure, reducing the threat of dizziness. WebMD also lists a litany of other health benefits of black tea, including reduced risk of heart attacks, kidney stones, Parkinson's disease and ovarian cancer.
37. Tenderize meat: Marinate tough meat in black tea to make it more tender.
38. Smoke it: Add tea to a smoker to make tea-infused cheeses and meats.
39. Boil eggs: The Chinese also like to add tea leaves to the water after boiled eggs are cooked. This adds some flavor and color to the boiled eggs.
40. Add to compost: Pouring strong tea into a compost bin will help speed up the process and encourage more friendly bacteria to grow, improving the compost.
41. Fertilize roses: Spread used tea leaves around rosebushes, then add mulch and water. The tannic acid and other nutrients will benefit the plants.
42. Help houseplants: Occasionally use brewed tea instead of water to feed ferns and other houseplants that like rich, acidic soil.
43. Add to potted plants: A few used teabags in the bottom of a planter can help the soil retain water, and adds valuable nutrients.
44. Dye fabrics: Green and black teas have long been used in dyes for fabric and paper, particularly for generating a beige faux- antique look.
45. Paint with tea: Some artists use strong black tea to paint backgrounds or accents on black-and-white sketches.
46. Strengthen puppy pads: A footbath with strong black tea is rumored to help strengthen the pads of dog feet.
47. Repel mosquitoes: Burning tea leaves is said to repel mosquitoes with none of the side effects of chemical bug sprays.
48. Tell the future: "Reading the tea leaves" is more than a political expression. Telling fortunes in the pattern of tea leaves in an empty teacup is an ancient art that is still occasionally practiced. Here is a guide to reading tealeaves, with a list of common symbols and their meanings.
49. Self-analyze: Finally, leave it to the BBC to provide a handy guide to predicting personalities through a person's used teabag. I have to admit I am a "teabag left in mug" type.

Comments about Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite Rims:
I bought a pair of Sun Rhyno lite rims from Jenson. These rims are for a 1978 Motobecane tandem that originally came with steel 27" rims.I needed a 36 hole front and 40 hole rear which are increasingly hard to find.I wanted to convert the tandem to 700c so I would have a better selection of tire widths. I love these new rims. They are wider than the original, laced up beautifully and are bullet proof! I installed 40mm width tires on them and the bike rides awesome!
Comments about Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite Rims:
What can I say? It's a Sun Rhyno Lite.
Comments about Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite Rims:
Im 6'0" and 215 lbs, and Im a little rough on my equipment. Ive bashed rim after rim in the past, three sets before the rhyno lite. I am flat out impressed. 3ft to flat concrete drops, a few slams and tumbles, and alot of banging down rocky root covered trails. All ive done is tension the spokes after every ride, not a single tweak or bend. I will definantly buy another set.
Comments about Sun Ringle Sun Rhyno Lite Rims:
I wanted something bullet proof as I'm 6'2" and weigh around 225 lbs. - I play sports and the MTB is the fun part of the training regime. The bike gets used for single track, some downhill, some road riding, general hack duties. Quiet, simple and real fun to ride. Not in to high-tech stuff as pointless for my needs and this meets my requirements nearly perfectly.I'm 45 and have been riding off road since I bought my first MTB in 1986 .

Recollections of neighborly collaboration between Native American Indians and settlers in the new world are often celebrated in Thanksgiving memories.
There was some early cross culture collaboration, but mostly history tells a story of more taking than giving by those who came to make a new life where Indians previously had tribal territories but far freer reign.
Though centuries have passed, Native American Indian and now New Bernian Elizabeth Evans — ¾ Crow and ¼ Sioux — is aware of the push of tribes into less desirable and productive regions.
"Historically, the Crow were different than other tribes on the Plains," said Evans, a 25-year-old native of Rapid City, S.C., as she looked at the display of North Carolina Indian tribe artifacts belonging to Max Freeze, former New Bern alderman and newsman.
Original North Carolina area Indian tribes included, from the east to west: Croatan Tuscarora, Tutelo, Carolina Siouan, Catawbas and Carolina Siouan, Creek and Cherokee, according to East Carolina University's Diversity Eastern N.C.
Now the only federally officially recognized tribe in the state is the Cherokee but the Lumbee Indians, the largest tribe in the state with about 55,000 tribal members, continues to seek official status.
Evans moved to Minneapolis as a youngster, but her family ended up in Boston Lake, Wisc., near the Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
"I grew up with a lot of Ojibwe Indians, including the chief's sons," she said. "There were far more people with a higher percent of Native American in them than not, so it used to seem weird to me that my culture was different. It never occurred to me that would be unique."
"We celebrated the heritage in Natural American Week every year and would finish the week with a powwow," she said. "Kids were modern but they celebrated their heritage with things like jingle dress dancers" with glittering metal cut from snuff cans strung and sewn to the dress.
"I probably know more about Ojibwe Indians" than her own tribal heritage, she said, but she appreciates and respects those in her culture that keep close to the land, collect wild rice in a canoe and make natural jewelry to sell.
The Crow Indians "started out in Ohio and were pushed west to Montana, South Dakota, and down to Oklahoma," Evans said. "You find most of the Crow in that region, divided by Mountain Crow and River Crow."
"Montana is not highly populated but they were pushed all into one region and had to fight forever to grow. They are now fighting for their own little chunk of land," she said.
According to the Crow Indian website, there is a 2.2 million-acre Crow Reservation near Billings, Mont., for the tribe originally named Apsaaloooke, which meant "children of the large-beaked bird."
Supposedly, the first white men they met were two French explorers in the mid-18th century, and that meaning was construed to be like a crow.
"People think all Indians get land as a birthright but those who do, drive miles and miles for free land but have to stay there to have it," Evans said. "There is little work so how are they supposed to make their money? It gets really hard. Their only option is to leave."
She said that alcoholism and drug abuse are too common a side effect of the situation for those who "stay and do nothing."
Evans came to Craven County to join her best friend, a Cherry Point air station Marine wife who was homesick, she said. "I fell in love with North Carolina."
A communications and marketing student at Brown College in Minneapolis for two years, Evans also fell in love and married New Bern resident John Horstman, but kept her own last name as a tie to Crow custom in which men married into a woman's family rather than the reverse.
"My husband is fascinated by my heritage," said Evans, but when their now 11-month-old son was born, she yielded to his culture out of respect for him and his father. "There are 10 generations of John Horstmans and every first born male in the family was named that."
Her little John was born at 34 weeks but is already a big boy with several teeth and more coming fast. He has his mother's olive skin and brown eyes that could be thought as easily Asian as Indian.
"I've had many people assume I'm Asian," she said. "The Crow have high cheek bones and, really, every group of Native Americans looks unique."
Evans said, "The Crow are known as Royalty of the Plains and men grew their hair almost to the ground. Many Indian tribes used geometric patterns in their fabrics and jewelry but the Crow used floral patterns."
"They were very fierce warriors and have the first recorded female chief," said Evans.

Georgia Tech's Brian Gregory, the coach of tonight's opponent, admired what the Wolfpack accomplished. In fact, he would prefer to repeat such a fete.
That's because Gregory views any road victories a noteworthy endeavor in the ACC.
"I think when you win on the road in your conference it's always significant,"
The Wolfpack lost a home matchup with Georgia Tech last season.
Much has changed since then. That's why
Such forecasts didn't deter Gottfried's outlook after the Wolfpack became one of three road teams to win among the conference's season-opening six-game weekend slate.
Now, it's a matter of trying to duplicate that at home. The Wolfpack has won eight of its 12 ACC home openers since moving to what's now called PNC Arena.
"They're 12-2," Gregory said. "It's not like they're 6-8. … Neither of (
Along the way,
Georgia Tech is coming off Saturday's loss to
"With younger guys, at times we're going to struggle making some of those shots, making some of the plays you need to make," Gregory said. "But in this league, you have to move on."
Georgia Tech's next victory will match last season's total.
Who: Georgia Tech (10-3, 0-1) at No. 20 N.C. State (12-2, 1-0)
When: 8 tonight (ACC Network)
Where: PNC Arena, Raleigh

Guest blog by Mary Dell Harrington, co-founder of the parenting blog Grown and Flown.
Happy birthday, dear Moose! Our chocolate Labrador is turning eight, and we are planning a birthday party for him. With family, friends and neighbors' special dates to remember, I must admit that our dogs' birthdays have sometimes slipped through the cracks. But this year, Moose is getting the royal treatment. Here are three reasons why you should celebrate your pet on his birthday, or anniversary of adoption, too:
Fun for the whole family: What child is not gleeful at the thought of a birthday party? Let your kids create decorations, plan refreshments or shop for an edible gift for your pet. We once held a festive 100th birthday party for our first dog, Choco, estimating this milestone when he turned 13.5 years old. Typically, though, our "parties" have entailed singing "Happy Birthday," giving our pup a chew stick gift and sharing a few extra hugs.
Special attention for your pet: In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, sometimes our pets don't receive extra helpings of attention. Here is one day to shower him with the love you feel but might not always have the time to show.
Time to focus on your pet's age: As your pets grow older, it is important to consider age-related pet care needs. Moose is now a senior dog and we have made slight changes in his wellness care. In spite of his gray muzzle, in my heart, he remains the puppy we brought home nearly eight years ago for our little girl who will soon be a college freshman.
This year, we will be giving Moose extra hugs and birthday attention at home. We are also celebrating at New York Presbyterian Hospital, where he and I volunteer as a Pet Partners animal therapy team.
Along with the 30 men and women we visit weekly, I will sing "Happy Birthday" and eat a cupcake in my pup's honor. I'll get to share the love I feel for him with others. For both Moose and me, it doesn't get much better than this.
We don't know the days our dogs were born, so we celebrate the days we go them - their adoptiversary!
I'm not sure of my rescue cat's ... "Bankrupt" ... B'day so we celebrate the day we found him as a hungry kitten on a cold rainy Feb day. Friendly fellow meowing up a storm despite his cold, wet fur. Off to the Vet, some shots, checkup, sutures for a couple nasty cuts, thus his name. My best friend for the last 10 years.
I love that name!! It is just wonderful! I celebrate all my animal's birthdays, and they love it! I try to take the dogs for a special car ride and go to lunch with them. My cat get special treats (I celebrate his birthday based on what the shelter had in their notes.) We love all our animals as family, and make sure they know it!
celebrating birthdays
That's exactly what I do with mine. We celebrate the day they joined the family.
Pet's Birthday
My little Benny was born on New Year Eve in 1999! He is a farm dog who is hardy and still healthy. I stay home every year to ring in the New Year with him. Everyone celebrates Benny's birthday! LOL. He gets a little shy with all the attention but his doggie buddies can come over too and he likes the extra treaters and having time together at home with me. Priceless! Happy Birthday all pups and many more!
How adorable! My parents & I
How adorable! My parents & I have another dog (he's the fifth one, but we don't have five at once); he's a Cocker Spaniel named Avalanche. We adopted him last year in March. It's estimated his birthday is June 2011. Of course, I wanted to help celebrate! I bought him another "pup pie" from PetSmart & two more chew toys. My parents & I celebrated Avalanche's birthday very early in June, so we knew we wouldn't miss it!
What a cute story & picture! Woof! Meow!
What a great idea! Just make
What a great idea! Just make sure those cupcakes are cruelty-free (i.e: free of animals products). When treating our pets (and ourselves, in our pets' honor) we sometimes forget about the other animals living in factory farms who have no one to care for their basic needs. Choose not to buy into the cruelty that goes into the production of meat, fish, eggs & dairy, especially when celebrating animals you love.
Wishing all your pets happy birthdays and adoptiversaries :)
Marlee and Sir Winston
I always celebrate my West Highland Terriers birthday. They are 6 weeks apart and are amazing. Although everyday they get treats, I get them little cupcakes. My male's birthday is the same day as my husbands. My horse's birthday was crazy. For 23 years I had a big party at the barn. I made all the horses in her barn a cake made of sweet feed, alfalfa, molasses, brown sugar and carrots. Baked it in the oven and then served all the horses their individual pieces. We sang Happy Birthday. I miss those days. She died 4 years ago. She made a big impact on everybody that was around her. She was a race horse and jumper. She will be forever missed. Happy birthday Finney. You'll be forever in my heart

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Quick Start
Jetty has it's own builtin logging facade that can log to stderr or slf4j (which in turn can log to commons logging, log4j, nlog4j and java logging).
Jetty logging looks for a slf4j jar on the classpath. If found, slf4j is used to control logging otherwise stderr is used. The org.mortbay.log.Log class is used to coordinate logging and the following system parameters may be used to control logging:
Specify an implementation of org.mortbay.log.Logger to use
If set, debug logs will be produced, else only INFO and WARN logs will be generated
If set, verbose logging is produced, including ignored exceptions
If set (jetty 6.1.10 and later), ignored exceptions are logged (independent of DEBUG and VERBOSE settings
With Jetty Standalone
The core of Jetty has no hard dependencies on an external logging infrastructure. The only logging dependency is introduced by Jasper, the JSP engine.
Jasper has traditionally had a dependency on commons-logging, which proves problematic in container-based architectures. To overcome this, Jetty uses 2 different solutions, depending on the version of JSP standard.
Note that the start.jar mechanism will automatically select a JSP version for you at runtime based on the jdk version. As JSP2.1 mandates at least jdk1.5, if you are running with a 1.5 jvm then this will be the version selected. However, if you are running with a lower version jvm, the start.jar mechanism will place the JSP2.0 jars onto the classpath.
Jetty uses the SLF4J logging infrastructure to bridge to commons-logging for JSP2.0. This means that commons-log messages are sent to the SLF4J interface.
We ship the Simple log implementation, which will only output INFO level and above messages to stderr.
However, you can replace the Simple log with any other SLF4J log implementation by removing the
lib/jsp-2.0/slf4j-simple-1.0-rc5.jar and copying in the SLF4J impl of your choice. The core Jetty code has a soft dependency on SLF4J, meaning that if an SLF4J impl is found on the classpath at startup Jetty will direct all logging messages to it.
Alternatively, you can remove the SLF4J jars altogether and use commons-logging instead by copying in the commons-logging jar and a commons-logging compliant log impl, such as log4j, to the
lib/ directory. However, if you do that, be aware that as the core Jetty code does not use commons-logging, it will log messages to stderr instead. Read on to learn how to get the stderr log mechanism to print DEBUG level messages.
With the newest version of the JSP specification, Jetty has removed all logging dependencies from the Jasper code. This means that no external logger is needed and Jetty uses it's own stderr logging mechanism. By default, that will only output INFO level and above messages.
To enable logging of DEBUG level messages, invoke Jetty with the -DDEBUG flag:
With Jetty embedded
As mentioned above, the core of Jetty has no hard external logging dependency. Therefore, if you only include the
lib/jetty-util.jar and
lib/jetty.jar on your classpath, Jetty will direct all log messages to stderr. To see DEBUG level messages, start your application with the -DDEBUG flag:
Or alternatively call
SystemProperty.set("DEBUG", "true") before calling
new org.mortbay.jetty.Server().
If your embedded application includes the jars from either of the JSP versions in
lib/, then read the previous section for instructions on how to configure logging.
With the Jetty Maven2 Plugin
As with all Maven plugins, log messages produced by the plugin itself will be sent to stderr and only at the INFO level and above. To see DEBUG level messages from the plugin, invoke the plugin with the -X flag:
Log messages from the Jetty instance embedded in the plugin are controlled in much the same way as Jetty standalone. The plugin picks an appropriate JSP version based on the version of the jvm executing the plugin. Please see the Jetty Maven2 Plugin pages for an explanation of how to configure logging.
3 Comments
I had lots of trouble figuring out how to control all logging in Jetty 6. The following worked for me:
// Configure Jetty logging to a more reasonable default.
System.setProperty("org.mortbay.log.class", "com.example.JettyLog");
// JSP 2.0 uses commons-logging, so also override that implementation.
Obviously, replace "JettyLog" and "CommonsLogFactory" with your own classes. JettyLog should implement org.mortbay.log.Logger and "CommonsLogFactory" should extend org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory
In your custom classes you can disable all INFO logging, send it to specific places, etc. There may be more elegant ways of doing this, but the above worked!
Matt, jetty uses an slf4j implementation if it finds slf4j on the classpath. If none of the existing slf4j implementations float your boat, you could always write your own impl and simply make sure you put it in a jar in $jetty.home/lib and jetty would use it. Via the jcl104-over-slf4j, you would also
ensure that all clogging calls were also directed to your custom impl.
Running/Debugging Jetty with IntelliJ IDEA
In order to integrate Jetty with, IntelliJ IDEA, you,need two scripts.
1. StartJetty.bat
2. StopJetty.bat
These scripts are not named specifically as IntelliJ scripts because they are also general purpose batch files to start and stop and Jetty.
The script works reliably when placed immediately in Jetty dir. The script uses JAVA_HOME environment variable if set. If it,is not set, then the script tries to determine JAVA_HOME from Windows Registry. The script can be run from any location, however the relative paths are computed with respect to Jetty dir. If you are running script from other dir then you should say 'Y' if prompted for "Terminate batch job (Y/N)?". This,situation frequently arise when Ctrl+C is used for terminating a batch program. Otherwise, you will notice that your current directory is still set to Jetty dir. This is generally, a good practice for other Batch programs as well.
IntelliJ Configuration
First of all, you would need to setup Jetty as Application Server in IntelliJ Settings. It's usually Ctrl+Alt+S or File->Settings. Navigate to "Application Servers" option,and add a Generic Server.
It is,named,Jetty here and servlet-api-2.5.jar and other jars from,jetty lib dir are attached. You will also notice IntelliJ warning regarding not finding EJB classes. That's ok because Jetty is not an EJB container.
To Debug and Run your web app project from IntelliJ, you need to create a Local "JSR45 Compatible Server" configuration under Run-> Edit Configurations menu. Note that IntelliJ only allows you to configure this for each project.
I named the Local configuration as "Jetty".
In "Server" tab, select Application Server we just created. Configure port consistent with jetty.xml,or value of jetty.port system property. Specify JSP package as org.apache.jsp. Refer to you webdefault.xml if you have,customized package for JSP generated java classes. Set value of VM options variable VM_DEBUG_VAR. This environment variable is used in Batch Scripts. Note: Due to certain bug in IntelliJ plugin,,if you name,this variable VM_OPTS, it is not passed to Batch Scripts. So avoid using VM_OPTS name,as environment variable. It's quite easy to use this variable as it is used in IntelliJ examples.
You can also check/uncheck Start Browser,depending on what you want.
In "Startup/Connection" tab,,you need to select the start and stop script for,running and debugging script.
I have also specified JAVA_HOME environment variable in this case. The StartJetty.bat and StopJetty.bat script work for both running and debugging.
IntelliJ passes,debug parameters in form of an environment variable to the script. See the value of VM_DEBUG_VAR created by IntelliJ for Debug mode.
Other VM parameters and program arguments can be passed by selecting icon next to each script.
Now create a jsp in your web app and try a breakpoint in a jsp.
Jetty with,Java Service Wrapper by Tanuki Software
Another approach,of running and,debugging is using,Java Service Wrapper itself in console mode using -c option. The advantage of using Java Service using is that you don't have to specify JVM options and program arguments in multiple places. For debugging purpose, you can simply add one of the following two options in your Java Service Wrapper conf file.
Run Jetty in console mode., You only need conf file. You don't have to install this as Windows Service.
Now you can use IntelliJ Remote debugging facility. See Remote tab under Run-> Edit Configurations menu option.

Google's New "Chrome" browser will hurt...Firefox?
by Slikkster - 9/2/08 5:46 AM
I'm reading about the new Google web browser (still can't download it) called "Chrome". Some of the news stories are painting this as "Google takes another shot at Microsoft", as if Chrome will only affect Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I don't see that; at least not yet, anyway.
There are already many alternative browsers to IE, with Firefox being the most dominant of the group. If IE users are tempted to switch to SOMETHING, why would they wait for Google's browser vs. Firefox (or Opera, Safari, etc.)?
I see this as potentially muddying the alternative browser front, vs. harming IE's share, primarily. Thoughts?

In a Keo.co.za exclusive, Andre Pretorius has revealed that he was not even behind the wheel when arrested for drunken driving in the early hours of Saturday.
Pretorius was arrested in Bryanston after a collision with another vehicle, with police suspecting both the Bok flyhalf and the driver of the other car of being under the influence.
"This is an outrage," Pretorius told keo.co.za, viciously denying the charge. "First of all, I wasn't even driving the car. My girlfriend was. Secondly he hit us, we were hit from behind. I heard on the news that I had smashed into another car, giving the impression I was out on this drunken rampage. It's just totally incorrect, scarily so."
Pretorius described the events leading to his eventual arrest.
"My girlfriend and I were having dinner with friends in Bryanston. We left, my girlfriend driving and I was in the passenger seat. We weren't going fast, about 60km an hour, when we were hit from behind. We immediately stopped, and were in the process of exchanging details with the driver of the car that had hit us when the police arrived.
"No angry comments were made, no threats from anyone. Yet unbelievably the cops on the scene called for back-up. I couldn't understand this, we were standing on the side of the road exchanging details after a relatively minor accident, and now it was like we're these fugitives.
"Anyway,well the back up arrived, and obviously one of the guys recognised me because he said threatingly, 'Just because you're a Springbok doesn't mean you can get away with stuff like this.' I tried, in vain, to explain that my girlfriend – perfectly sober – was driving but he would have none of it.
"He asked me for my driver's license, so I handed him my girlfriend's because she was the driver. How can he deduce who was driving when we were standing on the side of the road? Yet still he insisted it was me, eventually arresting me and the other driver.
"I was taken to the Randburg police station, where I spent the night in a cell. It was surreal. I was accused of racism, it was like this nightmare – a practical joke gone wrong. I am anything but a racist, and I wasn't even driving!"
Pretorius has taken legal counsel, and will appear in the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Monday. He is confident that his innocence will be proven.
"Right now, I've got to ask the public not to judge me before the court has. I am 100% innocent of any wrongdoing, and the judicial process will show that. This is a setup, and my name will be cleared."
Both Cats CEO Andy Turner and coach Frans Ludeke support Pretorius' version of events, and no disciplinary action is being considered.

... Prohibit Christian Hospitality in Charlotte
I read that; unbelievable!
I did notice, also, when they were voting to put God back into the platform, there were Muslims in the crowd chanting and screaming NO NO!
B. Hussein Obama still has the Islamic vote sewn up, IMHO -
And the illegal alien vote -
And the welfare recipient vote -
And the "I am sensative to minorities" vote -
Is anyone at all surprised? Im not. Not one little bit.
not surprised at all
This is kinda related:
oh yeah
There were more than the Muslims chanting No in the crowd. How many times did they need to vote on it? And the weak excuse that "God" just slipped through the cracks. Well I can tell you that should outrage the Muslims as much as the video. After all the more moderate Muslims state that Allah is the God of the Hebrews and Christians alike.
I am actually surprised that the Dems didn't vote to add in the One true God, Allah is his name and Mohammed was his prophet!

The New Way Forward in Iraq
"By quickly establishing an effective Iraqui alternative to the regime and not alienating anyone, we made resistance irrelevany" he said... In sum, he treated Iraquis as partners. Rather than seek to break the structure of an ancient society, he sought to use it to achieve his ends. But he was careful in establishing those goals and realistic in seeking to achieve them, acting with both humility and common sense.
-Thomas E. Ricks, Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq (153-154) (2006)

Cecil Beaton: His Biography & His Biographer
Cecil Beaton (1904-80) was a man of many parts: photographer, designer of sets and costumes, illustrator, diarist, author of many books, creator of some of the finest images of the Royal Family, a man of style, and arbiter of taste and fashion. There were few distinguished or glamorous people of the twentieth century who eluded his lens. He even succeeded in luring Greta Garbo before his camera, and beyond that, enjoyed a curious romance with her.
A renowned biographer and historian, Hugo Vickers has written biographies of many twentieth century figures, including the Queen Mother, Gladys, Duchess of Marlborough, Cecil Beaton, Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo, Alice, Princess Andrew of Greece, and The Duke and Duchess of Windsor. A frequent broadcaster, Vickers is in high demand for royal occasions. He was an ITN studio guest for the Royal Wedding of 1981, and for the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997. He appears regularly on CNN's Larry King Live, and has also appeared on Fox TV, NSNBC, and a great number of programs in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
His book, The Kiss: The Story of an Obsession (1996), won the 1996 Stern Silver Pen Award for Non-Fiction. His latest work, Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (2005), is the first major biography since her death, was much reprinted and is now in paperback. At present he is writing a book on St George's Chapel, Windsor, and weekly profiles for Hello! magazine.
Promising to be "entertaining and highly polished...a story of amazing success told with loving wit and great insight," Hugo Vickers' lecture will focus on the life and career of Cecil Beaton, as well stories from his own life experiences.
The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies has named Hugo Vickers the Golo Mann Distinguished Lecturer for Academic Year 2006-07. This lecture is made possible through the generosity of CMC alumnus Eugene Wolver '51.
Surveying the Contemporary Free Market of Religious and Non-religious Americans
Lunch 11:45 a.m., Lecture 12:15 p.m.
Identifying people by their religion is fraught with potential controversy. Who decides who counts as a Roman Catholic, for example? Should it be the parish priest? Who decides who is a Jehovah's Witness or Wicca? For a subject of such intense interest, the religious identity and beliefs of the American people has been surprisingly under-researched. For constitutional reasons, the government does not ask questions about religious identification in the Census. Few private surveys include or adequately differentiate the large number of people who identify with religious traditions and groups but are not members of congregations. Finally, there has been little detailed comparative research on the religious beliefs of Americans in smaller religious groups or among ethnic minorities.
In his recent book, Religion in a Free Market (2006), Kosmin overcomes the failings of much prior research on American religion by drawing heavily on the findings of the landmark American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) 2001. This survey of 50,000 households covered a national, representative cross-section of the American public, and asked questions about religious identification, belief, and behavior. ARIS has been cited annually in the Statistical Abstract of the United States, a Census Bureau publication, as the primary data source for the religious identification of American adults.
Professor Kosmin is currently research professor in the public policy and law program at Trinity College, and Director of the Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society and Culture. He holds degrees from the Universities of London and McMaster (Canada) and has taught at universities in Europe, Africa, and North America. He is the author of over 20 books and research monographs and more than 50 scholarly articles in the areas of sociology, politics, philanthropy, and policy research. His scholarship includes Joint Series Editor (with Dr Sidney Goldstein) of the monograph series American Jewish Society in the 1990s for State University of New York Press and Joint Editor of the journal Patterns of Prejudice, (1999-2004). this lecture is cosponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for the Humanities at CMC.
Human Trafficking and Prostitution in Thailand and the Mekong Sub-region: Job Creation and Life Restoration
Mark and Christa Crawford began researching issues of human trafficking and prostitution in Southeast Asia in the late 1990s. In 2001, they moved to Thailand to begin working directly with victims of trafficking and prostitution at the grass-roots, policy, and advocacy levels. Two years later, in order to provide vocational training and alternative income to exploited and trafficked people, they founded Just Food, Inc., which offers these victims both jobs and businesses in the highly lucrative food and beverage industry. Still not content, in 2006, however, Mark and Christa started a Thai foundation, The Garden of Hope, which addresses the holistic needs of people at-risk and coming out of prostitution and trafficking in Thailand and bordering countries. The foundation is designed to aid sexually exploited women, teens, and children in red light districts. The Garden of Hope also offers a Culinary Arts Academy to provide superior training for sustainable jobs in the food and beverage industry.
Prior to founding Just Food, Inc. and The Garden of Hope, Christa and Mark served as directors of the International Justice Mission's Thailand Justice Center, rescuing women and children from forced prostitution. Christa also served as an associate social affairs officer in the Gender and Development Section of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific, where she authored/edited the publication Combating Human Trafficking in Asia: A Resource Guide to International and Regional Legal Instruments, Political Commitments and Recommended Practices (2003).
Mark and Christa are accompanied by Moon, an eighteen-year-old survivor of child sex trafficking. Moon's birth mother sold her into slavery at the age of twelve weeks; when she turned thirteen, her virginity was sold for approximately $800. The following year, she was forced to work in a brothel, where she was routinely threatened with disfigurement and torture if she did not comply with customers. She was not saved until the police and the International Justice Mission (an evangelist group) raided the brothel a month after she had been forced to labor there. According to UNICEF, Moon is merely one out an estimated one million children who annually enter the multibillion-dollar industry of commercial sexual exploitation.
When they heard of her story, Mark and Christa sought out Moon and began working with her to help repair the unspeakable damage that had been inflicted on her. All three are very active in seeking to extirpate this horrific practice, as well as helping former victims to transition into a socially viable source of income.
Mark and Christa are both active in writing, speaking, teaching, and advising about issues of prostitution and human trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region. They form part of the Athenaeum's continuing series, Life After CMC.
The Present Disconnect in American Politics
Lunch 11:45 a.m., Lecture 12:15 p.m.
The 2000 presidential election. Red states versus blue states. Pro-choice versus pro-life. The Culture War. Is the United States on the brink of a truly dangerous, perhaps irreversible, political polarization?
The distinguished political scientist Morris Fiorina argues that the so-called Culture War exists mainly because of the exaggerations of news media and extreme party activists, both liberal and conservative. They might see themselves as culture warriors, but in fact 80-90% of Americans do not notice a growing divide.
Fiorina is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Wendt Family Professor of Political Science at Stanford University. He previously held positions at the California Institute of Technology (1978-1982) and as the Frank Thompson Professor of Government at Harvard University (1982-1998). From 1986 to 1990 he served as the chairman of the Board of Overseers of the American National Election Studies. He is currently a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Fiorina's most recent book, Culture War? The Myth of a Polarized America (2004), coauthored with Samuel J. Abrams and Jeremy C. Pope, details how the media and political parties cultivate the culture war myth, and how the political elites emphasize cultural issues that the electorate finds peripheral.
Morris Fiorina's lecture at the Athenaeum is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
An Evening with the Poet
Leslie Allan Murray was born in 1938 in Nabiac, a village on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia, spending his childhood on his father's dairy farm nearby. Biographer Peter Alexander writes, "His parents were poor and their weatherboard house almost bare of comforts; Murray remarked that it was not until he went to the university that he first met the middle class. His identification was with the underprivileged, especially the rural poor, and it was this that gave him his strong sense of unity with Aborigines and with 'common folk.'" Les currently resides in the Australian countryside in Bunyah, New South Wales.
He has published some thirty books of poetry, prose, criticism, and edited collections of poetry, including The New Oxford Book of Australian Verse (1986), and most recently, Hell and After: Four Early English-language Poets of Australia (2005). His work has garnered several awards, including the Petrarch Award (1995), T.S. Eliot Prize (1996), and the Queen's Gold Medal (1998), under the recommendation of the poet Ted Hughes. His newest collection is The Biplane Houses, published in April of 2006.
Murray's work is studied in schools and universities around the world and his poetry has been translated into ten languages: German, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Hindi, Russian and Dutch. Translations of his notable epic, Fredy Neptune (for which Murray was given the Queen's Gold Medal) continue to collect prizes. There are several critical editions dedicated to the study of his poetry. The U.K.'s Independent on Sunday recently stated that Murray is "one of the finest poets writing in English, one of a superleague that includes Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott and Joseph Brodsky."
Saving Africa's Eden
"When it comes to a practical knowledge of the geography of central Africa, there is hardly anybody around who knows what he knows, who's been where he has, who's documented it. In that sense he's a classical explorer. But he's much more than that. He's living at a moment in time when the last forests are being destroyed, where the opportunity to save that world is fading rapidly."
-Peter Raven, botanist, conservationist, head of the Missouri Botanical Garden
Explorer, botanist, anthropologist, and zoologist, J. Michael Fay spent 455 days in 1999 and 2000 conducting the Megatransect - a massive expedition in which he walked across the Congo Basin forest. Aiming to document the vanishing wildlife of the region and increase public awareness, he kept hundreds of pages of notes and shot over 500 hours of video and audiotape of the region. Due to his work and expertise in various scientific disciplines, Fay was able to present both the big picture of wildlife conservation as well as the interdependence among species. As John Robinson, vice president of the Wildlife Conservation Society stated, "Mike crossed over to the wild side and went in deep enough and stayed there long enough that, as he walked, he could see the effects people on the outside were having on the natural environment he was in." Due in part to the publicity the walk received, the government of Gabon declared its first-ever national park system, creating 13 new national parks, spanning some 10,000 square miles. He followed up the ground based trek with an "Africa Mega Flyover" in 2004, which was a 7 month aerial overview of human impacts on the African ecosystem. More recently he has been studying elephant poaching in Chad. His Athenaeum talk will focus on how killing off the natural world has important local impacts on the ecosystem.
Fay has endured many trials in his quest to protect Africa's diverse wildlife including a plane crash, many bouts of malaria, and face-to-face confrontations with armed poachers. He even survived an attack by an African elephant while trekking through a national park in Gabon. "Elephants will always be my friends, but I may just slow down on the level of interaction I have had in the past," he said.
Fay spent his childhood in Pasadena and attended the University of Arizona for an undergraduate degree in botany. College was followed by six years of Peace Corps service as a botanist in national parks in Tunisia and the savannahs of the Central African Republic. Fay attended graduate school at Washington University in St. Louis and conducted dissertation research on the lowland gorilla population in the forests of the Central African Republic. He went on to create the Dzanga-Sangha and Nouabale-Ndoki wildlife refuges in the Central African Republic and Congo. He is currently a National Geographic Explorer and based at the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York.
Michael Fay's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Roberts Environmental Center and the Athenaeum.
The Global Perspectives on Counter-Terrorism: An Analysis of the U.S., Israel, Russia, Spain and India
Amos N. Guiora is professor of law at Case Western Reserve University School of Law and director of the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy. Professor Guiora teaches and develops courses and labs on the legal and policy aspects of counterterrorism.
His Athenaeum lecture will focus on global perspectives on counter-terrorism, including analysis of how the U.S., Israel, Russia, Spain, and India develop and implement counter-terrorism policies that reflect the rule of law, as well as the balance between civil liberties and national security.
Before joining Case in 2004, Guiora served for 19 years in the Israel Defense Forces Judge Advocate General's Corps (Lt. Col. Ret.). He held a number of senior command positions, including Commander of the IDF School of Military Law, Judge Advocate for the Navy and Home Front Command, and the Legal Advisor to the Gaza Strip.
During his military service, Guiora was involved in many important legal and policy-making issues, including the capture of the PLO weapons ship Karine A, implementation of the Gaza-Jericho Agreement, the Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement, and "Safe Passage" between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
As an expert commentator, he is frequently interviewed and quoted and has been published in the national and international media, including CNN, The Washington Post, PBS, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, BBC, C-Span, The Christian Science Monitor, Fox TV, the New York Daily News, KQV Newsradio Pittsburgh, and Minnesota Public Radio.
Professor Guiora graduated from Kenyon College in 1979 (Honors in History) and from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1985.
America's Constitution: As Seen from the Pacific Ocean
Drawing upon his recent book, America's Constitution: A Biography (2006), Yale Law Professor Akhil Reed Amar will explore how the American West has shaped the American constitutional experience over the centuries. Beginning with the Eastern states' decision to "form a more perfect union" largely in order to consolidate and coordinate their control over the West, Professor Amar will show that the West has played a far larger role in the American constitutional saga than is generally understood.
Akhil Reed Amar is the Southmayd Professor of Law and Political Science at Yale University and is considered one of the top constitutional law experts of his generation. He received his B.A. summa cum laude, in 1980 from Yale College, and his J.D. in 1984 from Yale Law School, where he served as an editor of The Yale Law Journal. After clerking for Judge Stephen Breyer, U.S. Court of Appeals, 1st Circuit, Professor Amar joined the Yale faculty in 1985. He is the author of several books, including The Constitution and Criminal Procedure: First Principles (1998), The Bill of Rights: Creation and Reconstruction (2000) and most recently, America's Constitution: A Biography. Amar has been cited by the Supreme Court more often than any other scholar under 45, and is one of the most frequently quoted academics in America. He was also a consultant to the popular television show The West Wing and serves on the Board of Directors for the National Constitution Center.
Akhil Reed Amar's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Near Eastern Prototypes of the Palace of Alkinoos in the Odyssey
Who was Homer? Was he a Greek from Western Anatolia, and if so, are there traces of historical Near Eastern cultures in his poems? Dr. Erwin Cook, T. Frank Murchison Distinguished Professor of Classical Studies at Trinity University in San Antonio, will discuss the significance of the palace of Alkinoos as illustrated in the Odyssey in the broader cultural milieu of ancient Anatolia and its contacts with Assyria. He argues that the palace of Alkinoos represents a significant departure from Homer's usual description of Bronze Age palaces and equally from the archaeological record at any period in Greece. Near Eastern archaeological and textual evidence, however, suggests that Homer's account is not a simple poetic fantasy but is, instead, substantially based on the palaces and palace-gardens built by the rulers of Assyria between the 9th and 7th centuries BCE.
Having received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in classics, Dr. Cook was a Fulbright Scholar and Junior Associate at the Center for Hellenic Studies. He is author of The Odyssey in Athens: Myths of Cultural Origins (Cornell University Press 1995), which was selected as "One of the Outstanding Academic Books of 1996." Dr. Cook's research and teaching interests include the Greek epic, history, religion, and comparative mythology. Among his most recent publications are "Agamemnon's Test of the Army in Iliad Book 2 and the Function of Homeric Akhos," in the American Journal of Philology (2003) and "Near Eastern Prototypes of the Palace of Alkinoos," in the American Journal of Archaeology (2004). Recent presentations, which reveal his multifaceted interests, also include: Nestor's Big Adventure: On Making Sense of Iliad 8 (2006), The Linguistics of Homeric epei (2000), On the Role of Folk-Etymology in Teaching Homer, and Homeric and Bronze Age Pylos.
Beasts of No Nation
Lunch 11:45 a.m. Lecture 12:15 p.m.
At the age of 23, Uzodinma Iweala published his first novel, Beasts of No Nation (2005), the narrator of which is a young boy conscripted into a ragtag army of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his unidentified West African country.
Iweala was born in Washington, D.C., in 1982. From the beginning of his life, his existence was one between cultures. He has spent much of his life traveling between the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria.
Iweala considers himself an American, but identifies strongly with his Nigerian roots. Most of his extended family lives in Nigeria. Growing up, his parents stressed the Nigerian aspect of his identity through yearly trips to the villages in which his mother and father grew up, use of the Igbo language in their house, and cooking of Nigerian food, which he claims is "better than you've previously ingested."
When he got to Harvard, Iweala initially thought he would study biology, economics, or government. After taking an introductory English class with Steven Greenblatt, however, he immediately changed his major to English. The writing of Beasts of No Nation evolved out of his senior thesis project. It quickly was selected "A Best Book of the Year" by Time, People, Slate, Entertainment Weekly, and New York Magazine. Salman Rushdie declared, "This is one of those rare occasions when you see a first novel and you think, this guy is going to be very, very good."
Iweala's lecture is sponsored by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for the Humanities.
Mariachi Divas: A Musical Celebration Honoring Cesar Chavez

In a profession traditionally dominated by men, the Mariachi Divas are making big waves on the Los Angeles scene. Founded in 1999, this all-female sensation has swept the Athenaeum to its feet for the past three years — and it is CMC's good fortune to host them once again to celebrate the birthday of Cesar Chavez.
The Mariachi Divas are a truly multi-cultural ensemble, represented by women of Mexican, Cuban, Samoan, Argentinean, Colombian, Japanese, Puerto Rican, Swiss, and Anglo decent. "Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds," says founder and director Cindy Shea. "Our foundation and roots are mariachi, but we have added extra elements to reflect our diversity." Their lively sounds incorporate jazz, cumbia, salsa, and meringue into traditional mariachi music.
The Divas have performed at venues throughout the United States and Mexico. In addition to many televised performances, they also appeared on film in the documentary, Viva El Mariachi (2005). Most often, they appear at restaurants and street fairs in the city of Los Angeles. But the Divas' success is not pure luck; nearly all the women have college degrees and several have degrees in music. These talented female musicians are professionals with a highly contagious spirit and energy. Their performance this year promises to be a lively tribute to Hispanic heritage and the life of Cesar Chavez.
2007 Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership
Empowering the Poor in the Developing World
Lunch, 11:45 a.m., Lecture, 12:15 p.m.
In 1972, Fazle Abed founded BRAC (formerly known as the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) to provide relief and assistance to refugees returning from India after Bangladesh's Liberation War. Over the next 30 years, Abed would transform BRAC into one of the largest development organizations in the world, serving more than 100 million people throughout East Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
BRAC operates major programs in microfinance and income generation, public health, education, and social development. BRAC's microfinance program currently assists over 5 million borrowers and has disbursed U.S. $3.8 billion to date in loans, with a 98 percent repayment rate. BRAC's health program, serving more than 80 million people, provides a wide range of preventive, curative, and rehabilitative health services, ranging from basic health and nutrition assistance, to HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, malaria mitigation, early childhood development, and neonatal health. More than one million children, 65 percent of whom are girls, are currently enrolled in over 20,000 pre-primary and 30,000 non-formal primary schools operated by BRAC's education program. BRAC's social development program promotes greater awareness of social, political, and economic issues, providing human rights and legal services, legal aid clinics, and platforms to discuss social and political issues affecting poor women in rural areas.
Mr. Abed was born in Bangladesh and educated at Dhaka and Glasgow Universities. Prior to founding BRAC, he spent a number of years in the private sector as an executive with Shell Oil in Chittagong.
Fazle Abed is the recipient of the second annual Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership, which carries a $250,000 award to his organization, for his innovative work, direct impact, and achievement in reducing poverty and empowering the poor. The Prize is administered by Claremont McKenna College, the Kravis Leadership Institute, and Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis '67. "The Kravis Prize was established to celebrate [leaders'] vision, boldness, and determination," Mr. Kravis said. "Fazle Abed is such a leader."
Application forms for the position of Athenaeum Fellow for the 2007—2008 academic year will be available in the Athenaeum office on Friday, March 2, 2007. Completed applications must be returned by Friday, March 23, 2007, at 5:00 pm.
Athenaeum Reminder
Due to limited dining capacity, meal reservations will be open to the CMC community only after each Fortnightly is issued. Reservations will then be opened to the larger community, subject to availability.
All programs are open to the public without charge and begin at 6:45 p.m. In certain exceptional cases Athenaeum seating will be limited to CMC students, faculty, and staff; however, additional seating will be available in McKenna Auditorium. Advance notice will be provided for those occasions.
Is War Ever Justified?
When every generation has lived through at least one war, it is difficult to imagine a world without it. War has been an inescapable reality in societies both ancient and modern, and always those societies have struggled to justify their decision. Why do we go to war? The Athenaeum is proud to offer an interdisciplinary discussion of this question in a truly CMC community event.
Professor of Politics Charles Kesler will present a political perspective of war. Why is war a permanent part of political life, and what does that fact reveal about the problem of justifying war?
Professor of Philosophy Alex Rajczi will discuss the ethical issues involved in justifying war. Several uncontroversial rules govern the decision to go to war, Rajczi argues, but should those rules be focused on the national interest or on some broader? How much should we consider the interests of other people in making the decision to go to war?
Professor of Literature John Farrell will talk not about how wars should be justified but about how wars are justified. How does one go about convincing other people that a war is justified, and how does one appeal to the imagination to make that proposition persuasive?
Professor of Economics Gregory Hess will present a formal political economy perspective on war. Having published several papers on the economic costs associated with international conflict, Hess will discuss his personal experiences with war and academic evaluation of conflict.
This event is sponsored by the Claremont McKenna Student Union (CMSU).

Nov. 21, 2012 - Agency of the Month

Host Tom Temin brings you the latest news affecting the federal community each weekday morning, featuring interviews with top government executives and contractors. Listen live from 6 to 9 a.m. or download archived interviews below.

Listen to the full show.
When Ellis Burgoyne started at the U.S. Postal Service in 1978, the idea of receiving mail online or tracking it via GPS was unimaginable. But today, the mail carrier turned chief information officer is leading a team of technologists and IT specialists making that a reality.
In 2013, Burgoyne said his office will focus on five main projects aimed at cutting costs while improving efficiency and growing revenue. USPS needs help in that department after finishing fiscal 2012 $15.9 billion in debt.
"The pace and the level of innovation that's happening at the Postal Service has been tremendous," Burgoyne said in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio's Agency of the Month show. "For many that aren't involved in it, you may not appreciate it. But being able to see it up front, it's been very comforting to know that the investment we're making in technology and innovation is significant."
(Read Burgoyne's full bio. Photo courtesy of USPS.)
At the top of Burgoyne's list is digitization of mail, the idea that every physical piece of mail can also live in some type of electronic format.
"We are working very hard to try to get letters and flats and packages and mailing statements, and somehow convert them into digital form so we can apply technology to it," said Burgoyne. "Once you have it in a digital representation, you can do a lot with it. You could get a physical piece of mail and also get a digitized version of it in your smartphone or at your desktop. We actually have that technology available now. The question is, how much value does that offer to customers and mailers and folks in the marketing industry, and is there consumer demand for that?"
Burgoyne said the agency's new digital department is working to answer these questions.
"[The digital department is] looking at ways that customers can use a digital platform along with our physical infrastructure and hard copy to see how customers might be able to use that digital image for their own marketing purposes."
Burgoyne said this type of digitization will offer Postal Service customers a type of business intelligence they haven't had before.
The Postal Service's Intelligent Mail barcode is the keystone of that effort. The barcode serves as a unique identifier to the piece of mail it is attached to. USPS is currently in the process of rolling out IMb to customers who wish to receive postage automation discounts. But, Burgoyne said, eventually all mail will require an IMb so that it can be tracked throughout the mailing process.
"Companies are starting to barcode even fruit because it's important in terms of inventory control to know where your product is, how long it's on the shelf, how it's moving, and be able to manage the flows around your product and understand better cost and revenue implications of that product. For us, it's no different," Burgoyne said. "We move over half a billion pieces of mail a day. ... We want every piece to be unique. We want to know who mailed it, where it's going, we want to be able to know where it is in our mail stream."
That barcode will also help the Postal Service with delivery confirmation. By the end of 2013, Burgoyne expects to have real-time delivery confirmation for 100 percent of the packages it sends. He said this service should be available for all mail sometime after 2014.
Currently, only 50 percent of all mail has a unique identifier while 85 percent of packages do.
"There's really an untapped volume of mail that we really don't have intelligence for and we want to close that gap by 2014," Burgoyne said.
Burgoyne said the agency is also looking at GPS to help customers — both the sender and the receiver — understand where their mail is in real time.
USPS is also deploying new technology on the retail side. The agency's mobile app allows customers to find the closest post office, order supplies and submit requests for their mail to be held while they're out of town. And, Burgoyne said, the agency is working to deploy tablets to post office clerks so they can move from behind the counter and into the lobby to assist customers.
Listen Now: Burgoyne discusses his five main priorities for 2013.
In addition to spending money on new technologies, Burgoyne said his office is also looking at ways to save money on the current systems it has in place.
The Postal Service has already migrated its EDiscovery email archiving system to the cloud.
"That's a pretty big system that requires a lot of storage. We process over 3 million emails a day. Some folks may not really understand that. We don't just do mail we actually do a lot of email," Burgoyne said. "We have one of the largest intranets in the world and one of the largest email systems in the world. So storing all that data and being able to process it for litigation, it's a lot of work."
Burgoyne said the agency is also using cloud applications for the agency's procurement process and is determining how the cloud could potentially help the agency's disaster recovery systems.
Identity Management
The Postal Service is in a unique position — it's ahead of the curve when it comes to identity management issues. In May, the Postal Service's Inspector General released a report examining how USPS could help the government, as a whole, in this arena.
"We're working very closely with the White House and the efforts that are being done on the federal horizon," Burgoyne said. "We're looking at some ways we can leverage our trusted brand and our platform to maybe help with the identity management concerns that are out there and help develop some solutions."
Burgoyne said the Postal Service is currently involved in the White House's FCCX project.
"Every agency has their own priorities and their own uniqueness but, I think, in the federal space there's some efforts to try to rationalize that and to find, maybe, one provider that can help be that trusted broker of information, so we're exploring that," Burgoyne said. "Our new digital group is exploring that with the rest of the federal space to see if there's an opportunity for us to help in that arena. It's an exciting opportunity. With it comes a tremendous responsibility too to make sure we continue to deliver a safe environment in terms of emails and online transactions."

RICHLANDS — East Duplin's Tenae McKinzie had just made a jump shot that bounced off the front of the rim and rolled in when coach Mark Lane summed up the Panthers' 34-22 win over Swansboro on Thursday rather well.
"As long as it crawls in," Lane said while looking back at one of his assistants.
And Lane didn't back down from that comment when asked about it after the Panthers' victory over the Pirates in the semifinals of the East Central 2-A Conference girls' basketball tournament at Richlands High.
"We will take it," he said.
The second-seeded Panthers (21-5) were certainly willing to take any points in a game that saw both East Duplin and No. 7 Swansboro (6-19) each score just one field goal in the first quarter.
In the end, Lane will also take the win, which put the Panthers into the tournament final tonight at 6:30 p.m. against regular-season champion Northside (21-4).
East Duplin will be looking for some revenge after the Panthers won the ECC regular season last year before falling to the Monarchs in the tournament final.
"These girls deserve it," Lane said of the berth to the final. "But Northside is tough."
And so was Swansboro (6-19), which was looking for its second consecutive upset after knocking off No. 2 South Lenoir 48-43 on Tuesday.
The Pirates managed to hold their own against the Panthers, but East Duplin was able to methodically pull away.
"I was very proud of them," Swansboro coach Kim Miller said of her team. "It seemed like we were just a step slow today and really tired and that kind of affected a lot of our shots. Defensively, I thought we did a good job, but we had a couple of missed assignments.
"But they played their hearts out and that's all a coach can ask for."
Junior Makayla Byrd scored 10 points and junior Amber Hall added 8 points and 6 rebounds for the Panthers.
Morgan Sheehan led the Pirates with 9 points. The senior made a jump shot as time expired in the second quarter to pull Swansboro to within 11-8, a score that indicated what an offensive struggle it was for both teams. But the slow and sluggish pace seemed to benefit the underdog Pirates.
Miller said Sheehan's jumper gave the Pirates confidence at the break.
"Yes it did, but then Makayla hit that 3-pointer (to open the third quarter) and that was kind of a dagger," Miller said. "We came down and had some possessions where we didn't get off good shots or we turned the ball over and they (Panthers) were able to come down and score."
Byrd then hit a 3-pointer with 1:03 left in the third quarter that gave East Duplin a 25-16 lead. It was part of a 10-0 Panthers run between the third and fourth quarters that extended their lead to 30-16.
"Byrd came through," Lane said. "She had on some shoes that were hurting her feet. Her (normal shoes) busted open and she was wearing older ones, which made her uncomfortable. But she gutted it out and hit a couple of big threes."
Swansboro got to within 34-22 with 2:04 left, but East Duplin managed to essentially run the rest of time out before the final buzzer.
"I was impressed that we ran probably two minutes off the clock late," Lane said. "Our defense was also really good tonight, except for a few breakdowns. Our coaching staff has been preaching to them to match up in zone and we really did that tonight."
Swansboro 2 6 8 6 — 22
East Duplin 2 9 14 9 — 34
Sheehan 9, Yingling 2, Cleve 4, Watkins 3, Johnson 4. Totals— 9-36 4-9 22.
McGowan 5, Woodard 6, McKinzie 2, Lego 3, Byrd 10, Hall 8. Totals— 13-33 4-8 34.
3-Point Goals— S 0, E 4 (Byrd 2, McGowan, Lego). Rebounds— S 23 (Johnson 8), N 26 (Woodard 11, Hall 6). RECORDS— S: 6-19, season complete. E: 21-5, vs. Northside tonight at 6:30 p.m. in championship game.

NBA Commissioner David Stern said the NBA is excited about the approval of a new basketball arena in Seattle, but is not sure if or when the city will get a team.
I don t have any current view on where such a team comes from, Stern said during a league Board of Governor s press conference. There s no current team in play.
Stern did not completely rule out the league expanding to add another team for Seattle, but indicated that the league s relocation committee would have a say in that. That committee is headed up by Clay Bennett, whose ownership group bought the Seattle SuperSonics and moved them to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban did not seem as optimistic. He said Thursday that expansion was not an option.
The board announced minutes earlier that Stern would retire on Feb. 1, 2014, handing the reigns to Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver. Stern implied that it would ultimately be Silver dealing with a possible Seattle move, if it should happen.
Stern said there are a number of cities interested in obtaining an NBA franchise, including Vancouver, Anaheim, Las Vegas and Kansas City.
The board approved the sale of the Memphis Grizzlies Thursday to a group headed up by a California technology entrepreneur, but the sale must still be finalized.

Seventeen years after Sgt. Greg Martin was gunned down during what he believed to be a routine traffic stop in Interstate 77, and one year and two days after a suspect was arrested and charged in his death, family, friends and colleagues gathered to remember the fallen officer.
Martin was shot Oct. 5, 1996, during what started as a routine traffic stop on Interstate 77 a mile south of Exit 82 in Jonesville. His firearm was still holstered, a fact that many point to as a sign the incident happened too quickly for Martin to defend himself. He was 30 years old, the only Jonesville Police Officer to be killed in the line of duty.
On Oct. 3, 2012, Lee County Sheriff's Office in Florida arrested Scott Vincent Sica on a first-degree murder charge in connection with Martin's open case.
Two more men — Brian Eugene Whittaker of Cape Coral, Fla., and Marc Peterson Olroyd of Rockwood, Tenn., — were also charged with first-degree murder. Their charges were announced in a grand jury indictment Jan. 28 along with Sica.
Police Chief Roger Reece told the crowd assembled outside the town hall Saturday morning that, though the case may take another year or two to make it to trial, the arrest marked an important step in bringing justice to the case.
Members of Martin's family and the community joined officers in a procession of police cruisers and private cars as they drove slowly from the town hall along Interstate 77.
The procession passed the spot below exit 82 where Martin was shot as he made the fateful stop that claimed his life. It then proceeded down southbound I-77 to Exit 79 and wound its way back to Jonesville along Highway 21.
Special songs and a recording of bagpipes were played while the audience watched the town's flag was lowered to half staff.
A special Jonesville Police Department flag was flown in place of the North Carolina flag. The audience was allowed to make comments via a microphone.
Martin's loved ones had many things to celebrate this year. While the case continues to build against the men charged with Martin's death, other progress has also been made since 1996.
Martin's alma mater Surry Community College has named a Basic Law Enforcement Training classroom on its campus for Martin. Pictures and information are posted around the room to honor the memory of SCC's only BLET graduate to have been killed in the line of duty.
The North Carolina General Assembly also passed legislation this year that allows the governor to increase the maximum amount of reward money offered in a capital case like Martin's from $10,000 to $100,000.
The FBI helped in Martin's case to raise the reward amount by $100,000 to help keep the case from going cold and encourage public participation.

Like I said, it can probably be argued both ways.
I have a grocery store that doubles coupons, for a day or 2 more anyway. They double all coupons, even those that say do not double, so is this any different since it's WM's policy to allow overage? I really don't know. I'm just looking at our side, the store's side and the manufacturer's side.
Will the mfg know how much the product was?
Will WM be reimbursed full value?
If WM will be reimbursed full value then my guess is we will receive full value.
If the mfg is only going to give WM face value then who knows? Can you imagine WM adding that to the official policy? We'll allow overage on most everything, unless there's small writing on the coupon that says no cash allowed? Heck, the stores can't get a grasp for the policy as it is.
My understanding is that WM is giving overage because.... it cost too much money to deal with coupons that have been ajusted down..what the coupon scans for is the amount of money that WM will be remburst..(they use clearing houses a human really dosent look at the coupon unless there is a problem with it ) if this coupon scans for $6.00 off 2 then that is what u will get regaurdless of the fine print
In Loving Memory of my Wonderful Husband
My first price match experience at Walmart. I took the Big Lots ad for Operation games and the CS rep told me it would be more than half off their current price so they won't price match it !!! Did anybody else have the same experience ? This was in the Commerce WalMart in SE MI.
ETA - I also had my first PM experience this week with the Big Lots ad. It seems like they either haven't been trained or very few people have done it at my store 'cause they all looked very, very confused as to why I could possibly get away with saving so much money. With this experience, all I can say is that their marketing team struck gold. WM looks oh-so-very-patriotic in these hard economic times but the reality is that we still get treated like thieves when we try to use their own promotion. /rant

Nice deal on the Schick disposables! Just went in and got 24 razors and a Mt. Dew. The cashier even gave me the extra .15 (YMMV).
Just wondering. Was going to stop by the other location and try this again with coupons from my other computer. Could I use 2 of these 6/2Q on 4 Schick bags? (for a total of 4$ overage?)
New to couponing so let me know if something like this is possible.
I spent 20+ minutes today trying to get these; and the coupon would not scan. Was told by CSM that "if it doesn't scan we can't take it".
I don't normally do WM (for the reason I just mentioned)...so what does eveyone do when you get a beeper?
Ended up leaving the whole order and walking out...
The Q is coded 41058, but if the razors have the other code (46500, I think, though I may have it wrong off the top of my head), the q would certainly cause a "print journal" error.
Reps are back...for now. I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am! Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.
Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too.
