The only outdoor show that's 75 years in the making, the Outdoor TV Classics shares stories on film from long ago and helps today's audience understand the powerful love of family, love of country and love of fishing and hunting that began to flourish in our country shortly after World War II.
Those you'll see on the Outdoor TV Classics helped to raise millions of Americans who loved fishing and hunting. And today, fishing, hunting and other outdoor activities are an annual 80+ billion dollar industry!
But today's 80+ billion dollar industry started with simple people: pioneers, legends and ordinary Americans who fished and hunted for FUN and FOOD (not for profit and not for a trophy). They fished and hunted because it was IN THEIR BLOOD.
Each monthly one-hour Outdoor TV Classics will present priceless tales from the past along with a sprinkling of current stories and great destinations.
With literally more than a thousand classic films in the Outdoor TV Classics library, we're hopeful to generate enough viewer interest and feedback to produce a series of WEEKLY one-hour specials with stories that you won't see anywhere else!
So sit back, relax and welcome to the Outdoor TV Classics.
Keep in mind that we'd love to hear how you feel about our show. Your comments are important to us and to our sponsors. And who knows? Maybe your voicemail could be the one that helps us make the Outdoor TV Classics a "regular" weekly program for viewers of all ages to enjoy.
Call our 24-hour voice mailbox to share your thoughts and feelings about the Outdoor TV Classics toll free at 1-855-296-7469. Both Larry and I are "much obliged"!

From the Executive Director | University to house first turbine research center on U.S. campus | Johnson & Johnson grant to advance research, improve human health | Industry partners help university better the community | A brief encounter, a foot in the door
Did you know that Dow Chemical and craigslist were started by Case Western Reserve graduates? Did you know that the pager and the NIKE Airsole were invented by Case graduates? This is but a small teaser to encourage you to read on in the first edition of Corporate Update, Case Western Reserve's corporate e-newsletter.
Throughout its history, Case Western Reserve University has played an important practical role in partnering with industry. To continue that tradition we want to provide you with useful information, particularly in the areas of human capital, research, and visibility. Our updated corporate relations website will show you ways to engage our students, work with our faculty on new innovations, and support important programs on ethics, economic development, diversity, and healthcare.
I hope you enjoy our quarterly e-newsletter and the new site, where you can learn about successful business-university collaborations and the recent breakthroughs that could impact your organization and our world. Please send any feedback me to at email@example.com.
With best wishes in 2010,
Anne M. Borchert
Executive Director of Corporate Relations and Strategic Projects
Funding from the Ohio Third Frontier Commission Wright Projects Program will allow Case Western Reserve University's Case School of Engineering and its Great Lakes Energy Institute to build three wind turbines on or near campus. The grant, along with contributions from industry partners, will support a research center dedicated to wind turbine development and education, which is believed to be the largest university facility of its kind in the country.
Seven local companies will collaborate on this project: Parker Hannifin, Rockwell Automation, Lubrizol, Swigercoil, Philips Electric, Cleveland Electric Labs and Sopko & Sons. Read more about this collaboration.
Case Western Reserve University received a $250,000 challenge grant in January 2010 from Johnson & Johnson Services, Inc. through The Johnson & Johnson Corporate Office of Science and Technology (COSAT), and its affiliates. Case Western Reserve will utilize this research grant to support science, medicine and engineering projects to improve human health.
Case Western Reserve will match or possibly exceed COSAT's commitment in support of these projects. Applicants for these grants must be affiliated with a Case Western Reserve school or department, and preference for funding will be given to interdisciplinary and translational projects. Grants will range in size from $50,000 to $100,000. "We're pleased to advance interdisciplinary research and development across the campus in key areas of biomedicine," said W. A. "Bud" Baeslack, Case Western Reserve provost.
The translational and commercial perspective at Case Western Reserve has been highly accelerated by the university's relationship with the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation. The agreement with COSAT is modeled after the Coulter-Case Translational Research Partnership (CCTRP) process that has been instrumental within the biomedical departments at Case Western Reserve in promoting translational research on campus. Some funds may be used to support new or further accelerate existing CCTRP projects on the pathway to the patient.
More than 550 students, staff, faculty members and industry partners took part in this year's Case for Community Day, which brings together groups throughout campus to make our community a better place. The annual day of service included a range of activities at 60 different project locations, ranging from landscaping to retooling toys for children with disabilities.
Sherwin Williams sponsored the event for the second year in a row. The paint company generously provided philanthropic support and donated paint for a house project (pictured). Several Sherwin-Williams employees volunteered for the day alongside Case Western Reserve students.
Read more about Case for Community Day, or learn more about sponsoring events at Case Western Reserve University by emailing Kristen McLaughlin .
In an age of instant information, about 80 Case Western Reserve University biomedical engineering students met one-on-one with alumni and industry partners in the briefest of face time, called a speed networking session.
Based on speed dating—minutes-long pairings of potential lovers—participants paired up for five minutes, which, theoretically, is time enough for elevator speeches, a few questions and an exchange of contact information. In less than an hour, each participant had made 10 potential job contacts.

i must start by declaring an interest here, not only as someone who supports a fair and equitable end to the arab-israeli conflict in which israel's future is secured and a wider lasting peace in the middle east for all its peoples, but also as someone many of whose ancestors came from mosul and kirkuk in kurdistan. i have met many talented kurds and they have invariably been the sort of people who i could get along with and do business with; reasonable, rational and sensitive to the realities of history and politics.
for all these reasons, the issue of kurdistan has been close to my heart for a number of years; it felt very much to me as if it was a pipe-dream, given the geopolitical status quo. the basics are this:

Audit Committee Brief: September 2012
Understanding the CFO's perspective
In many organizations, the role of the CFO is expanding, and associated pressures and expectations are increasing. Understanding what is top of mind for CFOs and communicating regularly can help enhance the effectiveness of the audit committee's oversight role. By cultivating a robust relationship with the CFO the audit committee can facilitate a mutual exchange of perspectives on reporting, economic, regulatory, governance, and risk issues.
Top 10 areas of focus for CFOs
Deloitte LLP's CFO Program identifies core concerns of CFOs through a variety of initiatives, including i) quarterly CFO Signals surveys that capture the thinking of CFOs representing North America's largest companies, ii) more than 75 CFO Forums focused on a variety of industries, regions, and topics; and iii) scores of CFO Transition Labs held each year.
The following list shows the 10 frequent areas of focus for CFOs based on information collected from CFOs who participated in these activities. Audit committees may wish to evaluate the applicability of these topics to their situations and consider whether additional discussion with the CFO on a topic is warranted.
- Global volatility
- Fragility of the U.S. recovery
- Identifying the right growth strategies
- Execution missteps
- Hiring stalemate
- Cash deployment and liquidity management
- Wild-card risks
- Government policy and regulation handicaps
- Identifying and developing talent
- Time management

The Saints and suspended coach Sean Payton haven't moved much further along in contract negotiations since it was reported in early November that the NFL never OK'd an extension the two parties agreed to in 2011.
However, a league source confirmed multiple reports Thursday that the two sides do not see anything keeping the negotiations from starting and concluding.
The two sides are waiting for complete clarification on conditions in which the Saints and Payton, through his agent Donald Yee, can negotiate, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday.
Schefter reported those conditions are expected to be finalized this weekend and negotiations should start shortly after.
Since Nov. 4, when the news originally broke, rumors have heated up about Payton potentially taking over in Dallas, where his children live. But the Cowboys job isn't open right now.

IMPORTANT! Carefully read the Instructions for the Forms, which explain how to fill them out and what to do with them. Go to Self-Help Services in the Courts to find information on getting help in your court. If you do not see a link to forms that fit your situation, visit your local law library, or talk to a lawyer.
If you started a case and then all parties reach an agreement on the legal issues involving child custody, you may be able to file your agreement with the court, which is called a "Stipulation and Order." All parties must sign the Stipulation in front of a notary, and then one party files it with the court. The MN Judicial Branch does NOT publish sample Stipulation forms. You might find sample forms at your local law library or you could talk to a lawyer.
The two forms packets below can only be used in cases where the child's parents are not married to each other. Both parents must have signed a MN Recognition of Parentage ("ROP"), or there must be a current paternity order stating who is the "legal" father. If unmarried parents did not sign a "ROP" form when a child was born, they can only get a custody order AFTER the court determines who is the child's "legal" father (i.e., paternity). The MN Judicial Branch does NOT publish forms to establish paternity.
Ask for Custody and Parenting TimeRespond to Request for Custody and Parenting Time
NOTE: Married parents can get an order for custody or parenting time through cases involving divorce or legal separation, or when a parent gets an Order for Protection from domestic abuse. Talk with a lawyer about your options.
Change CustodyRespond to Request to Change Custody
The forms packets below can be used to ask the court to change an existing parenting time order; enforce a parenting time order; OR assign a parenting time "expediter" to help with on-going parenting time problems.

The MN Judicial Branch does NOT publish forms to start a third-party custody case. This area of law is very technical and there are several other legal options that you might want to consider other than third-party custody. A helpful booklet is the Legal Steps Manual: Raising Relatives' Children, which explains possible legal options related to caring for someone else's child. You could also call the Relative Caregiver Warmline (Lutheran Social Services) at (651)917-4640 (metro) or (877)917-4640 (toll-free) to learn more about third-party custody and get referrals to Minnesota attorneys who help with these types of cases.
If a parent wants to give another adult temporary authority to provide a home for a child and make decisions about the child's schooling, medical care, etc., the parent may be able to use a NON-court form called Delegation of Powers by Parent Form. NOTE: Use of this form does NOT grant "custody" of a child under Minnesota law.
Emergency "ex parte" actions involve one party asking the court for a hearing and/or order without giving advance notice of their request to all other parties involved in the case. The party asking the court to hear a case on an emergency ex parte basis is required to follow several laws and Court Rules, including but not limited to:

Welcome to the world, baby girl — now we're going to teach you to be a good worker.
According to education and business leaders at Thursday morning's Wake-Up Lenoir Executive Briefing on Early Workforce Development, training tomorrow's successful employee begins at birth.
"Oftentimes we don't really think of, when I child is born, that is where workforce development starts," said Keith Sylvester, executive director of the Lenoir-Greene Partnership for Children. "By the senior year in high school, by then, that cake is baked. We've got to get them very, very early."
From birth to about the kindergarten age — 2,000 days — children's brains speedily develop their neural network. During this time, they learn what's called "soft skills," a group of behaviors related to personal habits, personality and communications skills.
Lisa Finaldi, of the state Partnership for Children, showed a video to crowd explaining the biological process. Basically, reinforced, heavily used brain circuits are like broadband lines, while little-used circuits are like the dial-up modems of neurology. The circuitry matrix helps determine future behavior.
Some business leaders are finding it hard to fill jobs because applicants lack the skills that should be picked up as small children.
"You want a good-quality workforce, and oftentimes, it is a challenge to find those people," said Randall Boehme, production division manager with Sanderson Farms.
He went on to explain on-site childcare at some of the Sanderson facilities in Mississippi allows children to receive glimpses of proper workforce behavior.
"That's what we need, those simple things that they need to be a good employee the rest of their lives," Boehme said.
Sylvester said the purpose of the early workforce development tour, which started with Thursday's event in Kinston, is to explain to other business and community leaders the importance of investment in early childhood education.
Finaldi pointed out a group of military leaders — Mission Readiness — want to put effort into those 2,000 days because behaviors acquired during that time contributed to 75 percent of Americans aged 18-24 of being ineligible to serve in the military.
Another group, Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, is a law enforcement organization with a similar focus.
"They know, first hand, that if kids get an early start, they are less likely to be involved in crime as a teenager or an adult," Finaldi said. "So they have also prioritized early learning investments."
Sylvester, who started working with young children in 1970, said he learned early of the importance of the work.
"Within two months I recognized this was something special," Sylvester said. "As Stephen (Hill) said, they're like sponges."
The meeting, held at Chef and the Farmer, was hosted by the Kinston-Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce.

Only a couple of decades ago, arcades were the place to go for the young and young at heart. Quarters or tokens were consistently being inserted into games such as Galaga, Pac Man and pinball machines, with a flurry of sounds emitting from the machines.
As the demand for video gaming home consoles have soared, conventional arcades have declined at a rapid pace. According to a January 2013 article on theverge.com, in the early 1990s, there were hundreds of arcades in New York City. In 2005, the number dropped to 25 and in 2011, there were fewer than 10.
Currently, the Take II arcade in the Vernon Park Mall — the only arcade in Lenoir County — is usually found vacant, with sounds of nostalgic games coming from the room.
Vernon Park Mall property manager Mike Ingalls doesn't see a need to get rid of a staple in the mall.
"I've been here 12 years and it's been here that long," Ingalls said. "For the younger groups of people, it's a pretty popular attraction. There's been an arcade here as long as the mall opened its doors since 1970 and I don't see a need to close this one down."
Kinston resident Patrice Starkey, 30, hasn't had the same passion of enjoying the arcade as she had years ago.
"When I was younger I used to go all the time, but nowadays, I don't go as often," Starkey said.
Bret Canuette, 23, felt there should be more of a focus toward other endeavors in the city.
"The money could be put to better use, like improving the roads and community," said Canuette, a Kinston resident. "We need to get Kinston back to where it was in the golden age years ago."
Pride of Kinston Director Adrian King said there were recent plans to place an arcade in downtown. Daniel Mitchell and Gregory Dunk were in the process of bringing one to North Queen Street with a grand opening set for June.
"Apparently, they ceased the moves they were making to the building," King said. "It still looks empty with paper over the windows with no activity. They may have abandoned the project."
King had seen the two with plans to revitalize the now deserted looking building.
"When they were there in the spring, they were busy doing the floors and walls," King said. "The doors were open and windows clean. The assumption is they abandoned the lease and whether or not they continue to work on the project remains a mystery."
Neither Mitchell nor Dunk could be reached for contact. King said he hasn't seen either of them in months, but was interested in the arcade for the plans and what it could do for the community.
"The thing that excited me about it was it was going to be both an arcade and an ice cream bar," King said. "I think it would have been a safe place where young people could have clean fun. Any amenity attracting young people to enjoy themselves is a good thing."
The Woodmen Community Center has a mini arcade for its younger members.
"We put that in a couple months after we opened so the kids could have something to do while their parents worked out," director Kelly Cannon said.
Still, assistant director Earl Keith believes gaming consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have taken the excitement away from arcades.
"It's just the days in time," Keith said. "You see more people interested in the video games than arcades."
Northwest Elementary teacher Cathy Hyler wouldn't object to an arcade in the city, but only if there were rules implemented.
"It has to be well taken care of," she said. "There has to be good security and strict laws. You can't have kids running around buck wild.
"The kids need a place to go and need variety."
Kinston resident Jordan O'Neal, 23, would be fine with an arcade as well.
"I wouldn't have a problem with a new arcade in Kinston," O'Neal said. "The one in the mall was great before things broke."
Ingalls said the games in his arcade have regular maintenance performed.
"Things will always break and will be repaired," Ingalls said. "It's common with business. People need to look more at the positives than the negatives. It's a positive there's an arcade in the mall and not many places can say they've had an arcade around for 43 years."

As Haydn's relation with our instrument has not been put much in evidence until now, we will take the opportunity of this Symposium to further our knowledge on the interpretation of his works on the most expressive of the keyboard
The eighteenth century was also a period in which the trend towards louder sonority saw the progressive growth of the fortepiano, after its invention by Bartolomeo Cristofori. This genial inventor took the harpsichord as a starting point; some decades later, the German instrument builders followed the same path, but starting from the clavichord, and invented the square piano. Fifty years ago, the growing interest for the ancient fortepiano was directed almost exclusively towards the grand fortepiano, considering the square piano as a "second class" instrument, similar to our modern upright piano. The second aim of this meeting is to deepen this theme and to give back to the square piano its rightful place in the history of the musical instruments, a place demonstrated by its rich iconography.
As usual, our central topics will not be our unique field of activity, and we will also dedicate time to other themes.
It is our great pleasure to welcome so many of you this time and to wish you a pleasant and fruitful sojourn in Magnano.

(DE) Lost musical work by Robert Schumann discovered in Germany
The single sheet contains a piano composition with the title Ahnung (intuition) which Schumann (1810-1856) probably wrote about 1838 and gave to a friend as a present. It had been known from a list kept by his wife, Clara, but was thought to be gone forever.
The Leopold Sophie history library in Ueberlingen said it was rediscovered in 2006 while the folder was being re-catalogued. .."

We left off at a cliffhanger last week: Two James Bonds — George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton — had met their maker; and newcomer Daniel Craig and old-timer Sean Connery had teamed up to find their killer.
What on earth am I talking about? In last week's column I laid out my idea for the ultimate 007 film. Turns out that all six Bonds over the last five decades were actually orphans trained by British intelligence to believe they were James Bond.
But before we get into the rest of my movie's plot, I want to talk a little about what the first 23 movies have meant to me.
I already covered last week how my father and I used to watch 007 marathons when I was a kid. That's important because when I was growing up the only other thing he watched was Atlanta Braves baseball. That's 162 games a season. And we only had one TV.
(I still have nightmarish flashbacks whenever I hear anything that remotely resembles Skip Caray's voice.)
Since 007 was the one thing my father and I both liked, Bond meant bonding to us.
I also remember watching "For Your Eyes Only" on HBO at my neighbors. The underwater fight was mind-blowing. Years later I visited Silver Springs in central
I watched "Octopussy" on Showtime at our timeshare in
The first movie Michelle and I saw as newlyweds was "Goldeneye" in 1995.
So like I wrote about last week, I have an affinity for the film series. As such, I have conceived the best Bond film ever.
Act two of the film begins with Craig and Connery tracking down the assassins who killed Lazenby. The two Bonds enter an empty disco in
When Connery is finished sipping his drink he calmly sets the glass down, turns, draws his Walther PPK pistol and shoots the assassin in the knee.
"Good God, man," Connery says to Craig in his thick Scottish accent. "You don't dance with these people."
Connery presses the barrel of his gun into the assassin's wound and the man gives up the name Stacey Sutton. The assassin then pulls a knife, forcing Connery to kill him.
During a quick history lesson by Q, the oldest and newest Bonds learn that Sutton was involved in the last case Roger Moore worked as Bond. So it's off to
There they find Moore and Sutton, played by the very gorgeous 57-year-old Tanya Roberts reprising her role from 1985's "A View to a Kill."
Guess the Third Act will have to wait until next Monday...

Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme
absolutely insane longevity and sillage for that type of scent. check it out in the database.
Hi guys.
New here at the forums, but can anyone suggest a good summer fragrance with good longevity and sillage?
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme
absolutely insane longevity and sillage for that type of scent. check it out in the database.
Sale/sample thread. http://community.basenotes.net/showthread.php?t=218207
Versace Pour Homme, Chanel Allure Homme Sport, Bulgari Aqua and Caroline Herrera 212 Men are the some summer scents that have good to very good longevity and sillage.

Looking for: Andy Tauer - L'air du Desert Morocain & Incense Extreme
Check out my NEW Aussie sale / trade thread here -
Something new release this year. Kenzo Power Cologne
Azzaro Visit
Solo Loewe
+3 Leau D'Issey Pour Homme
+1 Bulgari Aqua & Chrome
Another one that is pretty good is Givenchy very irresistible fresh attitude.
Two steps forward. One step back.
Ferre's Bergamot Marino comes to mind.
Joop Jump , Chanel Allure Edition Blanch ( Homme Sport ) , Versace PH , +4 Leau D'Issey PH
+5 Issey
I kind of hate it anymore as one the first fresh, light scents that began a shift away from some of the heavier power frags.
But it is does what it does as good or better than just about anything. Women like it on men. A classic and a winner for what you seek.

NO and NO , if you wear A*men in 30C you will be sick and everyone around you . Longetivity of A*men is great about 12h, it colud last on your skin like forever , and you don't need that as summer scent , read what we all wrote as sugestions , and than test some of those , do not buy blind especialy heavy scents .

Comments about Set of 2 Garden Sprayers:
This is a great item for misting indoor plants that like a moist environment. I wanted it for watering seedlings in the greenhouse. The misting water is just right for that. You could also spray yourself if it was hot enough. It seems very well made. It can get a bit heavy when you add a full bottle of water but just add the right size bottle for your strength! Love it!

Edmonds garden tour shows lovely transformation
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Sharon and Bill Grader's garden flows in and out of several sitting areas. The Graders' garden is one of six on the Edmonds in Bloom Tour on Sunday.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Bill and Sharon Grader describe their garden as a serene backyard retreat.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Blue wine bottles hang from the branches of a tree.
The Graders' garden is full of artistic touches, large and small, tucked into the foliage.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A fountain flows into a small pond at the entrance to the Graders' garden.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
The Graders commissioned an artist to create this entrance gate with glass accents.
"I cried when we moved in the house," she said. "We were so poor we couldn't afford anything else. The trim was brown, but it had faded so much it was purple."
She looked forward to the day they could move out.
The overgrown back yard was a landmine. "We found batteries and an old plastic Christmas tree buried in the yard," she said. "They had dumped diesel oil in one corner. My husband bought a wheel barrow and there was so much nails and crap in the ground he had three flat tires."
She and her husband, Bill, got right on it and kept going. They transformed the dilapidated dump into a showplace.
Their garden will be on the Edmonds in Bloom Garden Tour on Sunday. The six gardens on the self-guided tour reflect the diversity of the region, from a tranquil Zen garden to rare species rhododendrons and raised vegetable beds overflowing with produce.
"Serenity and calmness" is how Sharon Grader describes her secluded backyard retreat.
"We have created rooms," she said. "We do get sun, but it's in different places depending on the time of day.
A brick path under the tall trees winds under a trellis and through to a mix of different textures.
A commissioned artist did the front gate on the 11,000-square-foot property.
"It's eclectic. It is kind of Asian, but we have palm trees," she said. "We like what we like, and that's what we buy. It doesn't have to be matchy-matchy."
It helps that husband and wife are on the same page. He's a carpenter with the Seattle parks department. She's a graphics designer at Parsons Brinckerhoff.
"We both like lots of different shades of green," Sharon Grader said. "It isn't like a crazy quilt with so many colors."
The textures have a soothing flow that adds to the harmony.
Tall stalks of bamboo tower over a fence. Fuchsias pop with color.
Much of the glass and pottery accents have a blue theme.
Empty blue Riesling wine bottles hang from trees.
"I saw an ad on TV for Absolut Vodka. It was a wall of frosted bottles, hundreds and hundreds of them. I thought it was so cool," she said.
"We drink white Riesling. I'm a creative person, so I can make leaps to all sorts of places. I thought we could do that with blue bottles. I cut the bottoms off with a tile saw, and we strung them up.
"It is one of those things people comment about and find interesting."
Another point of interest is a big fiberglass cat.
"I saw it at a nursery and said, 'That's what I want for my birthday,'" she said.
Her husband brought it home strapped to the passenger seat.
He built the potting shed using recycled material. Leftover bricks were used for paving.
"The only really new stuff is the fencing," she said.
There is seating in the garden as well as on the expansive deck spanning the back of the home.
"We remodeled the house, popped it out, enlarged the kitchen, added a bedroom and put in French doors," she said.
Oh, what a difference 22 years makes. You couldn't pay her to move now if you tried.
"We just want to come home. We don't want to go out and do anything," she said. "It's easy to just grab a glass of wine or a beer. Go sit and read a book or the paper. It's just very peaceful."

Reyes ran for re-election in 2012. He was defeated by Beto O'Rourke in the Democratic primary on May 29, 2012.
Politico had listed Reyes as an incumbent facing a serious primary challenge in 2012.[1]
Based on an analysis of bill sponsorship by GovTrack, Reyes was a "rank-and-file Democrat".[2]
After earning his associate's degree, Reyes served in the U.S. Army for two years, including service in Vietnam. Reyes then joined the U.S. Border Patrol, where he worked for over 26 years.[3]

- 1969-1995: U.S. Border Patrol
- 1966-1968: U.S. Army
Committee assignments
U.S. House
Reyes was a member of the following House committees[4]:
- House Committee on Armed Services
- Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces Democratic ranking member
- Subcommittee on Readiness Senior member
- House Committee on Veterans' Affairs
Campaign themes
Reyes' website listed the following issues:[5]
- Expanding Educational Opportunities
- Excerpt: "Education is both the birthright of every American and the foundation of our nations greatness and success. Education has made us a freer people and unleashed the great potential of our diverse country."
- Providing Access to Quality and Affordable Health Care
- Excerpt: "As a border community, El Paso faces unique health care challenges, including a high incidence of diseases like diabetes, tuberculosis, and cancer; a disproportionate number of uninsured and underinsured; and a shortage of health care professionals."
- Securing Our Borders and Our Nation
- Excerpt: "As residents of the US-Mexico border region in the post-September 11th world, El Pasoans understand the challenges of balancing our binational lifestyle and economy with our safety and security. To have true national security, we need to safeguard ourselves from attack while also safeguarding our economy and way of life."
- Leading on Border Issues
- Excerpt: "I ran for Congress in 1996 after serving in the United States Border Patrol for over 26 years to address what I saw as a lack of leadership in Washington on border issues. Thirteen years later, I remain the only Member of Congress with federal border law enforcement experience, and I am proud to provide leadership to my colleagues, my party, and my country on border security immigration, and other border issues."
- Providing Water for El Paso and Protecting Our Natural Resources
- Excerpt: "Water is the most precious natural resource, especially in a desert city like El Paso. Competent resource management and cooperation among stakeholders is essential if we are to grow as a city and ensure our survival"
- Improving Care for Veterans
- Excerpt: "As a Vietnam combat veteran and as the federal representative for the El Paso region's nearly 60,000 veterans, one of my top priorities as a Member of Congress is the well being of our veterans."
- Supporting Our Soldiers and Ft. Bliss
- Excerpt: "The military and the economy are closely intertwined in El Paso. Our military base, Fort Bliss, has grown into one of the crown jewels of the United States Army, and it has become a major positive force in the El Paso economy."
- Supporting a Strong Workforce
- Excerpt: "The election of a Democratic Congress and the inauguration of President Barack Obama brought with it a renewed sense of hope and optimism for our country and the labor movement in particular. After years of Republican leadership that was disconnected from the plight of everyday working Americans, indifferent toward middle class families, and focused on providing tax breaks for the wealthy, there is now renewed hope in Washington, D.C."
- Supporting Small Businesses in El Paso
- Excerpt: "Small businesses are the engine of America's economic system and supporting their growth and vitality in El Paso is a top priority. Fostering and maintaining a business-friendly environment is key to sustained economic growth."
Specific votes
Fiscal Cliff
Reyes voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was one of 172 Democrats that voted in favor of the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257/167 vote on January 1, 2013.[6]
Reyes ran for re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Texas' 16th District. He was defeated by Beto O'Rourke in the Democratic primary on May 29, 2012.[7]
According to a March 30, 2012 article from The Washington Post, that noted the top 10 incumbents who could lose their primaries, Reyes was the 2nd most likely incumbent to lose his primary.[8] Competition in the primary from former El Paso City Councilman Beto O'Rourke and being targeted by the Campaign for Primary Accountability were the main reasons for his vulnerability.[8] The article even goes so far as to state, "Reyes may be the Democrat most likely to lose his primary."[8]
Politico has also noted Reyes' vulnerability, saying Reyes faced his first primary threat since 1996. Beto O'Rourke portrayed Reyes as unresponsive and entrenched; the challenger also raised significant funding and received support from the Campaign for Primary Accountability. Reyes responded by gathering endorsements from Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, as well as pointing out O'Rourke's support of marijuana legalization.[1]
Reyes was targeted by the Super PAC Campaign for Primary Accountability in the 16th district Democratic primary. The PAC targeted Reyes because he had served for a long time, his constituents are dissatisfied, and there was a capable challenger.[9]
A Reyes spokesperson criticized the Campaign for Primary Accountability's implicit support of primary Reyes challenger Beto O'Rourke, pointing out that Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor had contributed to the PAC for its efforts in a Republican primary in Illinois. The Huffington Post reports that the PAC's targeting of both Democratic and Republican incumbents means contributions like Cantor's will be controversial.[10]
On November 2, 2010, Reyes won re-election to the U.S. House of Representatives, defeating Tim Besco (R), Bill Collins (L), and Tim Collins (Write-in).[11]
Campaign donors
Reyes won re-election to the U.S. House in 2010. During that re-election cycle, Reyes' campaign committee raised a total of $1,044,123 and spent $1,040,966.[12]

Political Science Student Appointed Head of CommissionPosted Jun. 1, 2010
In summer of 2009, KSU graduate student Vasili Rukhadzke won US State Department funded IREX (International Research and Exchange Board) fellowship to study civil society in Georgia and to serve as a US Embassy Policy Specialist in the country. While doing his fellowship in the country, several Georgian news agencies interviewed him, which circulated on the Georgian radio and the print press. Rukhadze also wrote and published extensively on Georgian politics, state-building processes and national security issues in the Georgian press.
In March of 2010 he was offered to chair the State Commission for Studying the Historical Truth that the Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili intended to establish to investigate historical abuses, which Georgia experienced in the 19-20th centuries under the Tsarist and the Soviet Russian occupations. In April the commission was inaugurated and Rukhadze traveled to Georgia where he was officially announced by President Saakashvili as its chair--an event widely broadcast on all Georgian TV and radio channels, print press and news-analytical websites.
In the beginning of June, Rukhadze will return to Georgia for the summer to head the commission and produce an official report. The project is of very high political importance for Georgian society and the country as a whole, which is involved in the complex process of post-Soviet state building. The Commission is comprised of approximately 30 people: Georgian historians, political scientists, economists, lawyers, linguists and the staff members. The Commission is thought as a mechanism of transitional justice. It is an undertaking of Georgian society to create a viable venue for a smooth transition from long occupations to a new era of democratic state building.
This project and the commission that Rukhadze will lead represents an attempt to build shared collective memory of a brutal past, a past that hunts this ancient, although newly liberated nation. According to Rukhadze, "The success of this project will be one very important brick in the foundation of modern-day Georgian state building.

Havelock's Harry Caldwell had never caught a touchdown pass. Heck, the defensive lineman had never even caught one pass in high school.
Yet, there the senior was, making his only career catch a touchdown in a crucial spot for the Rams in their 55-21 victory over Concord in the state championship game Saturday in Winston-Salem.
"It was amazing," Caldwell said of the touchdown that drew Havelock within 21-20 of the Spiders at halftime. "That's my first and only catch in high school. I had a feeling we might run that play, but I had no idea we would run it at such a crucial time."
Havelock was reeling, down 21-14 with just 42 seconds left in the first half at its own 35-yard line. Quarterback Pharoh Cooper scrambled for 28 yards and 26 yards on consecutive plays and then spiked the ball to stop the clock with just seconds left and the Rams still 11 yards from the end zone.
Caldwell, a 6-foot, 210-pound noseguard, has played on the offensive side of the ball for the Rams this season, serving only as an extra blocking back with fellow defensive lineman Malcom Ashley on short-yardage situations. But this was no short-yardage situation.
Cooper faked a stretch running play to the right and rolled out to his left. Caldwell had slipped away from the defense unnoticed and was wide open in the left flat. Cooper lofted a soft pass that Caldwell grabbed and carried into the end zone, cutting Concord's lead to 21-20 at halftime.
"I was just about to strangle Pharoh because I didn't want him to throw the ball to Harry because Harry's never caught a pass in a game," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said. "Harry said he did a lot of praying (Friday) night, and he caught that ball and got in the end zone."
Bryant said the pass play was a reward to Caldwell and Ashley for their work in the short-yardage situations.
"Having him (Harry) and Malcom on the field at the same time in our spread eye set, those two guys are usually blocking all the time," Bryant said. "I told them that they had done such a good job this year that I was going to put in a couple of pass plays to them, and just luckily that play worked out where Harry was wide open. Pharoh lofted it to him because I told him to make sure he knew who he was throwing to, that he was throwing to a defensive lineman. He caught it, got into the end zone, and Harry's excited about it."
But the play was also implemented because of how Concord played defensively against Havelock's stretch running plays.
"We put that play in this week off the stretch because we knew they squeezed hard coming off the back side," Bryant said. "We knew they were trying to take away our stretch out of our eye set, so we put that play in this week. It's called a 37 boot, and we scored two touchdowns on it."
The other touchdown was Cooper's 12-yard toss to receiver C.J. Lindsey with 5:17 left in the fourth quarter, putting the Rams on top 49-21.
In his normal position on the defensive line, Caldwell recorded five tackles, one for loss and also broke up a pass for a unit that didn't give up a point in the second half.
And with that, Caldwell ended his high school career not only with one big touchdown catch but his second consecutive state 3A championship.
"It means everything," he said of the title. "It means the world."

Nice Family Retreat
If your looking for peace and quiet than this is the place. It's absolutely beautiful outside! The owners were extremely friendly and spent time taking our family out on the pontoon for a cruise around the lake and then enjoyed hanging out with us at the bonfire. The cabin itself was warm and cozy. I was a little disappointed with all the spiders in the cabin. It made me feel crawly and a little scared to sleep but it's to be expected being in the country. I just didn't think I would encounter that many! Perfect family getaway!

Welcome to GPars - Groovy Parallel Systems
The GPars project offers developers new intuitive and safe ways to handle Java or Groovy tasks concurrently, asynchronously, and distributed by utilizing the power of the Java platform and the flexibility of the Groovy language.
Main Areas
- Concurrent collection processing
- Asynchronous operations
- Fork/Join abstraction
- Actor programming model
- Dataflow concurrency constructs
- Agent - an thread-safe reference to mutable state
- STM (Software Transactional Memory) - planned
Fast Track
If you want to start experimenting with GPars right away, use our Fast Track to get up and running within minutes.
Project's main values
- Clever and clean design
- Elegant Java and Groovy APIs
- Flexibility through meta-programming
- Application-level solutions that scale with number of cores
- Distribution through "scripting" - shipping groovy scripts over the wire
What people say about GPars
Check out the User Voices to hear the opinions of people walking here before you.
The framework provides straightforward Java or Groovy-based APIs to declare, which parts of the code should be performed in parallel. Objects are enhanced with asynchronous methods like eachAsync(), collectAsync() and others, to perform collection-based operations in parallel based on the fork/join model. Also, closures can be turned into their asynchronous variants, which when invoked schedule the original closure for processing in an executor service. The library also provides several helper methods for running a set of closures concurrently.
The concept of Actors as an approach to organizing concurrent activities has recently gained new popularity (thanks to the Scala, Erlang, and other programming languages). GPars implements this concept for Java and Groovy developers. With actors support you can quickly create several independent Actors, which consume messages passed to them and communicate with other actors by sending them messages. You then build your solution by combining these actors into a communication network. Groovy actors do not depend on an exclusive thread. You can have much more actors than threads.
Actor do not necessarily need to reside on the same physical machine. Gpars supports (as of version 0.9) distributed actors, which may exchange message irrespective of their actual location in the network.
For the common scenario that one or multiple results are calculated concurrently but need to be processed as soon as they are available, GPars makes it a breeze to correctly model this Dataflow. Dataflow variables and streams gives you a handy abstraction of single-assignment multiple-read data elements.
Concurrency is all about managing state. If there is no mutable state, concurrency becomes a non-issue. However, as soon as we integrate with Java and it's libraries, we inherently deal with mutable state. What GPars adds to alleviate this situation is the concept of a Agent - a non-blocking mt-safe reference to mutable state that is inspired by "agents" in the Clojure language.
Please refer to the User Guide for a more extensive coverage of these topics or head over to the Demos.
Let the fun begin!
