The Wilson College Athletics Department is pleased to name Joanna Hayes as the first head coach of both the women's and men's cross country programs. She will immediately prepare for both programs' debut in the National College Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III and the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) beginning in the fall of 2013.
According to Athletic Director, Lori Frey, "Joanna brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to our department as we expand opportunities for Wilson's student-athletes. She is up to the challenge of starting two new programs, and we are confident she will build a strong foundation for both the women's and men's teams, positioning them for long term success in the NEAC and Division III."
Before taking the helm at Wilson, Hayes spent two years at Gettysburg College as the assistant track and field coach. Serving as the team's jumps coach, Hayes helped coach several standout athletes for the Bullets.
From 2009 to 2011, Hayes spent two seasons at Dickinson College, serving as an assistant for the cross country and track and field programs. In the 2009-10 season, she helped coach the men's program to conference titles in cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field. That season Dickinson men's cross country team also finished fifth at the NCAA Division III Championships. During her time at Dickinson, she also helped coach the 2011 NCAA Division III champion in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, and the 2010 NCAA runner-up in the steeplechase and 5,000-meter run.
Hayes graduated from Kutztown University in 2009 as a three-time Academic All-American with a degree in leisure and sports studies. Hayes was a standout distance runner for the Golden Bears, making four NCAA Division II cross country championship appearances. She was also a four time all-conference and all-region selection during her time as a student-athlete. On the track, Hayes helped set several outdoor program records, including the distance medley relay, the 4x800-meter relay, the mile, and the 1,000-meter run.
Hayes looks forward to her new opportunity
Hayes is eager to take the helm of Wilson's newest sport offerings for student-athletes, and will begin by focusing on establishing traditions and building a positive team dynamic and culture for both programs.
"I am excited and honored to be named the head coach for Wilson College's men's and women's cross country teams. I am looking forward to building a strong foundation for these teams and helping student-athletes perform at a high level both on the cross country course and in the classroom," said Hayes. "The last 14 years of my life have included competitive running in one form or another, and I'm excited to share my passion and experiences with Wilson College."

A Tree which stands in a Lake District wood is the tallest in Cumbria and could be the largest in the North West.
The 57.8-metre giant grand fir in Skelghyll Wood, Ambleside, has also been recorded as the tallest of its species in England, breaking the previous Cumbrian record of 55 metres, which was held by a conifer at Thirlmere.
National Trust ranger John Pring got the idea to get the tree measured and recorded by the National Tree Register charity when driving through Ambleside.
He said: "I've driven on that main road (A591) in Ambleside for a long time and I just thought: 'That really is a very big tree, I wonder how big it is? We were surprised just how tall it was when we measured it. There are some very big trees in the area but we didn't realise how tall it actually was. This is just one of the thousands of big old trees the National Trust looks after in the area."
Mr Pring, who has covered Windermere and Ambleside for 20 years, is now encouraging nature lovers to go to Skelghyll Wood and see the true scale of how tall the trees are for themselves and the grand fir, which was planted in 1860, looks set to continue growing and could push the 60-metre mark unless there are any accidents such as a storm blowing it over.
The tree was measured by tree climbers Mark Sigrift and Mick Lupton of Aspen Tree Management in Witherslack by dropping a long tape measure and using a badminton pole to attach a tape measure. "It just shows that the tree is happy with the climate there," said Mr Pring. It's only 160 years old so it is still growing."
A SNOW leopard which featured in a movie starring Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman is the latest addition to a South Lakeland zoo.
Young male Pavan, one of two leopards who played the part of Stelamaria in The Golden Compass, will be housed in a walk-through enclosure at Lakeland Wildlife Oasis at Hale, near Milnthorpe.
Staff have created a homely feel for their new feline friend with the enclosure designed to look like a Himalayan village with plenty of rocks for him to climb and snooze on.
An acrylic tunnel running through the enclosure will allow visitors to see Pavan in his own habitat in what is thought to be the UK's first walk-through big cat exhibit.
Assistant manager of Lakeland Wildlife Oasis, Caroline Howard, said: "We're really excited about Pavan's arrival - he's a real celebrity cat! His new home is amazing. You can walk right through his territory while he ranges around you - even above your head!"
Pavan has arrived from UK charity the Cat Survival Trust which helps conserve endangered cats.
Once he has settled in his new environment, zoo staff hope to form a breeding pair by adding a female snow leopard to Pavan's enclosure.It is not known how many snow leopards are left in the wild but they are now classed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is joining the captive breeding programme which is run by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

Sketch for Abstract Composition
Blanche Lazzell made this group of objects—part of a larger suite of fourteen works—as an artistic exercise while studying in Paris with the Cubist Albert Gleizes. They provide a fascinating glimpse into Lazzell's process of transforming a townscape into an abstract composition. The graphite drawings show her progression from a relatively representational image of an urban plaza with buildings, stairways, and trees to ever more reductive, abstract shapes that she rearranged and filled with different patterns and tones, culminating in the watercolor. This kind of experimentation allowed Lazzell to explore the expressive possibilities of abstraction, in keeping with Gleizes's theories that the juxtaposition of flat forms—through their relation to each other and the paper surface—provides a new way to signify spatial depth.
This text refers to these objects: ' 2006.43.2; 2006.43.4; 2006.43.7; 2006.43.8; 2006.43.10; 2006.43.11

When it comes to the world of automotive refinishing, it seems as though the varied specialized products are nearly endless. When considering the types of primers below and the color and possible clear coats that may follow, there certainly are a wide range of product types, and it pays to become familiar with them. Each manufacturer of paint products offers their own specific line of primers and paints, providing a "system" approach to refinishing. The logic here is simple, basically providing a blueprint for taking an automobile body through the refinishing process. This blueprint provides recommendations on compatible products within the product line from the first layer of primer through to the final application of top coat. From the standpoint of utilizing a proven process in refinishing your Corvette, it's hard to argue with the logic of following the manufacturer's directions from start to finish.
Even with the caveat of sticking to one manufacturer's line of primers through finish coat, one is left with several choices right from the start. Primary on this list is just what kind of paint to use. Here, the end goal becomes one of the key decision points. Is the project aimed at turning out as true to factory original as humanly possible? Is the goal a show-car finish replicating the factory colors? Or is the project a custom with wild effects, or a budget repaint on a "driver" quality car? The materials in each of these scenarios will generally be quite different. Let's have a little look back at the history of Corvette paints in general and then follow with an overview of the paint systems commonly used today.
Original Finishes
Up until 1957, Corvettes were painted with a formula of paints referred to as nitrocellulose lacquers. These paints, introduced in the mid-'20s, revolutionized automotive refinishing by providing manufacturers with a quick-drying and relatively stable paint system that could be readily manufactured in a wide array of colors. The name nitrocellulose lacquer is derived from the origin of the resin used in its manufacture, a product of the nitration of cellulose materials, primarily cotton. Lacquer paints are purely solvent-borne, and cure only by the evaporation of these aggressive and volatile solvents. Along with a very fast drying component, the nitrocellulose lacquers offered ease of application, much better color retention than previous paints, and a surface that could be polished to a very high luster. The clincher was that the nitrocellulose paints were ideal for application by spray technique, leading to the early universal use of spray techniques at the manufacturer level.
These days, the original nitrocellulose paint formulations are nearly completely gone. These antiquated paints were definitely a leap forward in the '20s, but lack the durability and resilience demanded by consumers. While it is still possible to obtain nitrocellulose from specialty antique materials suppliers, from a commercial refinishing standpoint, this is an extinct type of paint product.
GM abandoned nitrocellulose in the late-'50s, turning to acrylic lacquer as a more modern formulation of lacquer. These acrylic lacquers replaced the nitrocellulose resins with a synthetic polymer resin derived from acrylic acid. Although these acrylic resins are also used in enamels, GM utilized the acrylic lacquer paint formulations, which, like nitrocellulose, featured very fast drying times and very easy application. Acrylic lacquer was the primary paint formulation used by General Motors for the majority of the production years in which classic Corvettes were manufactured, serving until the early-'80s. These paints were reasonably durable for the time, and moderately glossy, though the finish would respond exceptionally well to polishing.

Evanston Wyoming AA meetings
Alcoholics Anonymous, founded in 1935 by Bill Wilson and Dr. Robert Smith, is a worldwide organization whose primary goal is to encourage and support sobriety among its membership. With millions of people all over the world crediting their sobriety to regular attendance of Evanston WY AA meetings, there can be little doubt as to their effectiveness. AA is an organization open to anyone who seeks help with their alcohol dependence. Wilson and Dr. Smith, after helping over 100 people, authored the 12 steps which have been unchanged since their inception. At Evanston Wyoming AA meetings, members work through their 12 step program as a part of their recovery process.
The American Psychiatric Association has recommended continual treatment in conjunction with joining and attending Evanston WY AA meetings for those with chronic alcohol problems. According to AA 36 percent of members continue to attend Evanston Wyoming AA meetings after one year of joining. AA has very little organized leadership beyond the local level. This system allows individual chapters to adjust their Evanston WY AA meetings (within the scopes of the 12 steps and 12 traditions), in manner to most benefit their regional membership.
Holding regular, semi-formal gatherings, Evanston WY AA meetings are both run, and attended by alcoholics. By allowing alcoholics to run Evanston Wyoming AA meetings, they serve as an example to newer members who are just beginning their sobriety. Individual chapters decide if they will hold open or closed meetings. Open meetings may be attended by anyone. Closed meetings are only for those with a desire to stop drinking. A tremendous benefit of going to Evanston WY AA meetings is the cost. Evanston Wyoming AA meetings are entirely volunteer supported group and offered completely free of charge. This is in contrast to many in and out-patient programs which can be prohibitively expensive.
AA has grown to be accepted by the medical field. Starting in 1939, hospitals and mental institutions began allowing Evanston Wyoming AA meetings in their facilities. Evanston WY AA meetings can also be found in correctional institutions nationwide. An in-prison specific program has been developed as well as a variety of resources for the incarcerated alcoholic. AA has proven so effective, that many in-patient treatment programs order patients to attend Evanston Wyoming AA meetings upon their release. Over 31 percent of those who attend Evanston WY AA meetings are referred from these treatment programs. Attending Evanston Wyoming AA meetings will help both the alcoholic and their families. Families of alcoholics often helplessly watch as their loved ones slowly decline. Evanston WY AA meetings which are open, allow family members to join and provide support.
This open philosophy helps family members feel like they are playing an active part in the recovery of an alcoholic. By providing additional support, both at home and at Evanston WY AA meetings, they increase the chances that an alcoholic will continue attending Evanston Wyoming AA meetings and maintain their sobriety. With thousands of chapters holding Evanston WY AA meetings all over the world, and millions of people owing their recover from alcoholism to AA, it's no small wonder the group has become so well known. While no method of treatment will cure alcoholism, regular attendance of Evanston Wyoming AA meetings will provide a pillar of stability and support to someone hoping to stay sober.

- 3 Comments
Yankee Classic from October 2003
Robert B. Parker has set novels in Los Angeles, in Ireland, in the Wild West, and in the capitals of Europe. But the setting he always returns to is greater Boston, home to his best known character, the wisecracking, Shakespeare-quoting, gun-toting private eye named Spenser, who first appeared 30 years ago in The Godwulf Manuscript. Spenser, along with his deadly-force colleague, Hawk, and longtime sweetheart, psychologist Susan Silverman, leads readers through Boston's streets and suburbs until they know the city like a guidebook.
Robert and Joan Parker are exemplars of rough and smooth. He's muscled, paunchy, with a face that, like his famous protagonist's, looks like it's gone too many rounds in the ring. He's wearing jeans and an old black sportshirt. She is tall, elegant, and stunning. She wears a chic pantsuit with a sexy, calf-flashing slit. Smooth.
Their Cambridge, Massachusetts, home is a gorgeously decorated three-story, 14-room, gray-green mansard Victorian, with burgundy, teal, and cream trim. The 1870-ish house is landscaped, trellised, gargoyled, and scant yards from Harvard's red-brick Federal austerity. "This is Joan's art," says Robert Parker. "And," he sighs, "it's a never-ending story."
Joan sighs back. "Our carpenter has become the third son I never wanted."
The Parkers do a lot of sighing–mock sighing–about each other's foibles. It's clearly a routine they've practiced to perfection, and in 46 years of marriage, plus another six of courtship, they've had plenty of time to practice.
Those years of marriage come with a qualifier, however. Here's how Spenser put it in Widow's Walk:
"Are you married?" she said.
"I'm, ah, going steady," I said.
"Going steady? I haven't heard anyone say that in thirty years."
I shrugged.
"How long have you been going steady?"
"'Bout twenty-five years," I said, "with a little time out in the middle."
In the early '80s, the Parkers had a time out, and when they came back together, they reorganized their living arrangement. Robert lives on the ground floor; Joan, on the second. The third is for guests.

I found this bag at a discount retailer for $99 and bought it. It's definitely a classier departure from my regular style of cheap, handmade handbags, but it's growing on me. Without the stuffing, the bag is quite slouchy and more bohemian-looking than is pictured here. Size is more than adequate for everything plus a small elephant. And I like the silver hardware. So many bags feature brass or gold-toned, but if you wear a lot of silver (jewelry, belt buckles, etc) it tends to clash, imo.

People do business with companies that they feel respect their patronage. The reality of any business is that any and all employees are representatives of your brand. If there is a breach of etiquette by any of them, from the person who answers the phone to a server in a restaurant to the president of the company, it's all the same to the customer.
I recently experienced an example of this breach of employee etiquette.
I was out with some friends attending a birthday dinner, and afterward we decided to enjoy some drinks at a local Mexican restaurant chain in our area.
SEE ALSO: Don't just drive website traffic — direct it to where you can make money
One of the women in our party offered a male friend at the table a chance to take a taste of her drink. He politely set his own beer aside and took a sip. At that moment, the server came over to our table and told my friend that he would be allowed to finish his beer but then had to leave.
He was understandably confused and when he asked the server what the problem was, she told him he "wasn't allowed to just come in to the restaurant and guzzle other people's drinks."
At this point my companion politely drew our server to the side to ask her what had just happened. She responded very rudely, telling him that she didn't have to explain herself to him and that she was just following restaurant policy and that he should leave.
The mood was pretty soured by that point and the entire party ended up leaving the restaurant disappointed in the experience and with more than a few mutterings that it would be a while before that restaurant chain experienced our patronage again.

WORKSPACE (n) A room, set of rooms, or building where the business of a commercial or industrial organization is conducted
"Social innovation" firm Context Partners designed new offices on NE Alberta Street with two personality types in mind: introverts and extroverts. "We collaborate a lot, and we're often on the phone," says Jensie Miksich, who led the project. "You're always so aware of what everyone is doing." The result blends hierarchy-blurring openness—no private offices—and "rest and recovery" spaces for the retiring types.
Over four years, software analytics company New Relic's Portland office rocketed from three people to more than 80 employees and a $10 million payroll. Challenge: preserving the grassroots energy its engineers loved. Solution: transforming an old-style US Bancorp Tower corporate space into a candy-colored funland, with meeting-room names from comic books ("Spider Skull Island") and open collaborative spaces instead of corner offices. "Space is an investment that pays off in terms of who we can hire and how we all feel at work," says senior VP Jim Gochee. "We're out of the adolescent phase, but don't want to lose our culture."

Christopher Espinoza, founder of barbershop mini-chain The Modern Man, on design as a competitive edge
You stuffed your first shop on Alberta with animal heads and retro knickknacks. Were you riding Portland's old-time trend?
There wasn't much of a plan. When we added the bar upstairs, I tried to create an environment where my dad would want to go—he's an old Mexican cowboy.
How did design become so important to your brand, then? People started to say, "Oh, we love the concept." So the second shop, on Hawthorne, became a library, the refined side of the Modern Man. Our third shop, on N Mississippi, is a long narrow room, which suggested the history of that street as a streetcar line. So: train station.
Does this stuff matter to workers?
Who wants to leave their job? And yet we've been able to attract both veteran Portland barbers and really interesting new talent. Barbers often work in environments where the owner thinks a Playboy and big TV is all you need. But barbering is an art form, and like any art form, ego is a part of it. Our guys get to work in spaces they know were loved.
Three Portland spaces that redefine the conference room
Instrument: The teepee
A fire at old digs forced this marketing and design firm into an "all hands on deck" overnight renovation of an empty industrial NE warehouse. Short on enclosed meeting spaces (or walls), they struck on a novel solution: a teepee (above). More than just a clever piece of construction, it came to represent a new, more communal workplace culture.
Industry: The Container
When digital experience and product design company Industry needs to tackle an extra-crunchy problem, team members retreat to the shipping container: a made-to-order, matte-black steel box, just big enough for a six-person table. At the head of the table sits an elk skull, to represent the problem-solving idea they hope to hit on: "We call it king of the hill," says founding partner Oved Valadez. "This is where we brainstorm, sketch, collaborate."
Wieden+Kennedy: The Nest (a.k.a. "Out in the Sticks")
The architectural statement—a bare platform cantilevering over the ad agency's exposed sixth-floor beams—looked cool, but often sat empty. Enter installation artist and sculptor Patrick Dougherty, who wove countless locally sourced sticks and branches into a semisecluded, downright cozy place.

Outdoor - Flashlights
Flashlights bring light to the dark. Flashlights evoke the question, are there ever enough flashlights? (similar to chocolate) Send your team out to play in the dark with safety first in mind. There are hundreds of items, right here, to keep them safe inside and outside. Brand them with your company identity and they'll thank you when they return safely or just find their keys. Flashlights can be so cost effective that you'll want to put them in everyone's hand or they can be deluxe and a welcome addition to the silent auction table. Different styles match any budget or any branding style. Select your color, budget and a target audience and select the perfect promotional piece for your brand!
Don't forget to provide these for your field staff…if they visit homes, travel in the car or perform installations, these will be a well-used tool. And, if they leave them behind, chances are greater they will be recovered…or at least an unintended gift with your logo.
Our team is trained to make your promotional purchase aggravation-free. Call us and we'll prove it. 1-888-788-0101.
Retractable Dog Leash with Light
In the backyard, it's finally getting dark. The kids have been out there for 2 or 3 hours and they haven't come in yet. Keeping your fingers crossed you realize they have all the flashlights out there with them. How will you sneak out there to see if they are sleeping? Well, you remember the one on your key chain that your favorite vendor gave you. Simple, you know where it is and you know it works! Perfect! You can't have too many shoes or flashlights. (or chocolate) They are one item that is always welcome. No matter how many flashlights you think you have it's really tough to find them when you need them.
Safety requires you to plan ahead but who thinks about batteries and location when the electricity is on or you clearly don't need one? OSHA thinks flashlights are so important for safety they even have training on proper use of them. While that may not be true, regulations tell us that flashlights, glow sticks and emergency lighting must be placed stairwells must be tested to support exit if an emergency condition exists. Safety equipment required by OSHA for exits is a must. During inspection, they will check each and every emergency exit you have to make sure there is proper exit signage including emergency lights. Why not prep your team and put your logo on those flashlights? Give each team member one for their desk and make sure they are in the common areas. It's just a good idea.
Put flashlights on desks, in pockets, out back, in the emergency stair well, in the car, the backpack, with the car keys, or the house key, clip, hook, slip through the loop, on a lanyard, place in a drawer, with a set of tools, with a crank for power or with batteries, mag, light, LED light, pig shape, shaped like a cow, dog or a star. What's your brand which one or ones fit what you want them to know about your brand?

There's something intrinsically appealing about a Corvette that appears to be bulging at the seams. The widened rear fenders of the '90 ZR-1, for example, wrapped around the steamroller Goodyears like Cindy Crawford wearing a just-tight-enough pair of jeans in a Guess? ad. The same goes today for the '06 Z06 and its flared bodywork.
Corvette builder and racer Jeff Nowicki, of Specter Werkes/Sports, knows all about the subtleties of the Corvette form. He's been enhancing the Vette's shape at his Troy, Michigan, shop for the better part of 10 years, and he's the first one to admit too much of a good thing can ruin the sensual shape of the car.
"The Corvette's [shape] has always been carefully proportioned," he says. "There are ways of accenting it that enhance the muscular, performance ethic, but too-wide panels or outlandish wings detract from its essence."
Nowicki transferred his philosophy into fiberglass with the original, C5-based Corvette GTR. These made-to-order supercars featured wider replacement front and rear fenders, as well as correspondingly widened fascias. The GTRs had a more dramatic "Coke bottle" silhouette, which helped dramatize the cars' lines and cover wide rubber, but the uninitiated had to look twice to see the difference-unless the GTR was parked next to a "skinny" C5.
The GTR was a complete, turnkey car offered through two exclusive Chevy dealers, but Specter also developed a group of a la carte exterior, interior, and performance upgrades under the Group 5 label. These weren't-and aren't-simply the GTR components offered to the DIYer. The Group 5 components consist of unique ground effects, fascias, spoilers, and more. And rather than being sold through a couple of dealers, the Group 5 parts were offered to anyone who wished to order them directly or drop off his Vette at the Specter shop for upfitting.
Now, Specter Werkes has launched the Group 6 lineup for the sixth-generation Corvette. Yes, it's a looker, with fender flares and an appropriately sized rear spoiler, but it's also a Z06 fighter. Specter's prototype car pumps out more than 500 normally aspirated horses from the 6.0-liter LS2 V-8.
Like the GTR and Group 5 designs, the Group 6 complement of exterior upgrades embellishes the factory's form without cartoonish exaggeration. But where the C5 exterior components offer a smooth, tailored look, the Group 6 has a harder, racetrack demeanor-as if the designer sport coat has given way to a bicep-stretched T-shirt.
"The basic form of the C6 is a race car, and the Group 6 components build on that," says Nowicki.
The success of Corvettes-including the LeMans-winning factory team-on the racetrack undoubtedly influenced the Group 6's design. Several of Nowicki's customers have left cars at the shop with instructions for Specter Werkes to give them the look of a road-going racecar.
Well executed in form and proportion, the bolt-on Group 6 parts include an extractor hood, an aero package with rear spoiler, and rear wheel flares. The silver prototype in our photos wears HRE 840R wheels wrapped in Michelin PS2 rubber, sized 275/35-19 in front and 335/30-20 in the rear.
"We wanted to give the car a more aggressive stance, while keeping the identity of the production design," Nowicki says. "The front chin is functional, channeling air to the brake ducts, and gives the car a meaner look. The rear wheel flares allow 12-inch-wide tires to fit."
Specter Werkes/Sports offers the individual components of the Group 6 package separately.

The addition of a carrier to cytokine solutions can increase the stability and shelf-life of the protein. The use of bovine serum albumin is quite common for this purpose, but has the disadvantage of being of animal origin and quite frequently increases the endotoxin level of the resulting solution. HumanZyme has introduced recombinant Human Serum Albumin expressed in engineered human cells cultured in serum-free chemically defined media. HSAHuXp has ultra low endotoxin levels and is ideal for use as a carrier protein.
Lyophilized products are stable for one year at -20°C to -80°C from date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein can be stored at 4°C for short term only, or at -20°C to -80°C in aliquots for long-term purpose. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Use HSAHuXp as carrier protein when reconstituting cytokines to maintain low endotoxin. It is recommended to prepare stock solutions at 0.1% for reconstitution and addition to cytokines in solution.
The protein was resolved by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the gel was stained with Coomassie blue.

Wayne Cornelius of the University of California at San Diego assesses the U.S. strategy for the border with Mexico.
MPI Policy Analyst Deborah Waller Meyers examines the Smart Border agreements signed by the U.S. with Canada and Mexico in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
MPI has released a major study that describes and analyzes today's immigration enforcement programs, as they have developed and grown in the 25 years since IRCA launched the current enforcement era.
The U.S. government spends more on federal immigration enforcement than on all other principal federal criminal law enforcement agencies combined, allocating nearly $187 billion since 1986. This report traces the evolution of the immigration enforcement system, analyzing how programs and policies resulted in a complex, interconnected, cross-agency system.
This report outline the long-standing pattern of northern Central American governments' inattention to their borders – probing root causes that range from institutional, economic, and resource challenges to corruption and weak government structures.
The conference offers thoughtful, evidence-based law and policy analysis and discussion of cutting-edge immigration issues.
MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner discusses U.S. immigration policy during the Fireside Forum on Foreign Policy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The other participants are Christine Neumann-Ortiz, Executive Director of Voces de la Frontera and Douglas Savage, Assistant Director of the Institute of World Affairs, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
This Council Statement for the fifth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration captures key elements of deliberations on the best ways to bring greater order and legality to migration, border management, and labor market systems through transatlantic cooperation.
While policymakers are under increasing pressure to reduce illegal immigration, the estimated population of unauthorized immigrants in EU-15 countries has declined since 2002. European governments are collaborating on the management of their external borders, as this report details, discussing the detected and estimated scope of irregular migration in the European Union.
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.

Historian C.R. Gibbs to Lecture on February 26
On Saturday, February 26, historian Carroll R. Gibbs will present his lecture, "Whirlwind Coming: African Americans in the District and Alexandria during the Civil War," at Fort Ward Museum, 4301 West Braddock Road. The lecture is being held in recognition of Black History Month, and is scheduled for 1 p.m. in the Museum library. Cost for the program is $10 per person, and reservations are suggested due to limited space. Please call the Museum at 703.746.4848 to make reservations.
Many former slaves migrated to the Washington area during the Civil War seeking refuge behind Union lines, and alongside free blacks worked for the Union war effort in various capacities. In his presentation, Mr. Gibbs will discuss the Civil War-era experiences and contributions of African Americans living in the Federal capital and the nearby seaport town of Alexandria, which became a headquarters and transportation center for the Union army. His lecture will highlight the role of civilians as well as some of the U.S. Colored Troop regiments that were associated with the camps and forts that comprised the Civil War Defenses of Washington.
Mr. Gibbs is an historian, author and lecturer specializing in African American history. He is the author of the book, "Black, Copper & Bright: The District of Columbia's Black Civil War Regiment." He has appeared on the History Channel, and wrote and narrated "Sketches in Color," a 13-part companion series to the acclaimed PBS series, "The Civil War," for Howard University's WHUT-TV. Mr. Gibbs is featured in the Online Academy website sponsored by the Smithsonian's Anacostia Museum and Center for African American History and Culture. He has received numerous awards for his scholarship, including the 2008 Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation in Public Education, bestowed by the Mayor of the District of Columbia.
Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site is located at 4301 West Braddock Road in Alexandria. It was the fifth largest installation within the extensive network of forts known as the Defenses of Washington, which was built to protect the Federal capital during the Civil War.
For more information, please call Fort Ward Museum at 703.746.4848 or visit www.fortward.org.

City vandals damage solar power arrayBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 31,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
City police and Green Mountain Power officials investigate vandalized solar panels on Cleveland Avenue on Wednesday.Rock-throwing vandals damaged panels on a solar power array at the south end of Cleveland Avenue on Wednesday, according to Rutland City Police.
The five solar panels, owned by Green Mountain Power, were cracked by rocks that investigators believe were tossed from an elevated railroad trestle nearby, said police Sgt. John Sly.
There were no witnesses to the incident, which Sly said took place in an area known for its foot traffic.
It could be almost anyone, he said. Its a non-populated area thats used as a shortcut or walking path.
The $1,600 worth of damage to the panels was minor considering the expensive electrical components that harvest solar from more than 100 panels located in the fenced-in area, according to Steve Costello, vice president of generation and energy innovation for GMP.
But since the damage exceeded $1,000, Sly said the perpetrators would face felony unlawful mischief charges if caught.
The vandalism occurred less than a week after police arrested three teenagers for allegedly using a pellet gun to break windows in vehicles, homes and businesses in Rutland and two nearby communities. The criminal acts carried out at the end of Cleveland Avenue did not appear to be related to the other cases of vandalism, Sly said.
Costello said the panels would be repaired and returned to operation today.
Costello, who is also overseeing an initiative to make Rutland the solar capital of the region by using more sun power in the city than anywhere else in New England, also said the destructive acts wouldnt deter the power company from its goals.
While this is disappointing in that were trying to do something positive for the city, it doesnt dissuade us, Costello said. I think the feedback we got from people who heard about the damage today highlights the importance of what were trying to do here.

Chris Kamara
Football Expert & Columnist @chris_kammy
It's all Gunn wrong
Kammy says Santos' half-time shirt swap was ill-advised... as is Wenger's approach to Walcott.
Last Updated: 05/11/12 6:01pm
Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see him back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights as well as in-depth analysis of all the action on Goals on Sunday.
And then on Mondays you can find Kammy right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the Premier League weekend.
Read below for his thoughts on Santos, Walcott, Swansea and more...
There's a cloud hanging over Arsenal at the moment
Sir Alex Ferguson will be delighted with Saturday's result because, more than anything else, it didn't take anything out of Manchester United. There's a lack of confidence in the Arsenal team, even though they had that fantastic Capital One Cup victory over Reading. Something isn't quite right and I'm sure Arsene Wenger will be looking to sort that out as soon as possible. Santi Cazorla looks like a real find, but it seems Olivier Giroud will need some time to settle and for some reason the defence isn't looking as solid as it was a few weeks ago. Steve Bould was getting all sorts of praise back then, but now they look shocking.
I can't understand Arsene Wenger's approach to Theo Walcott
It's a harsh one. We've seen how loyal Arsene Wenger can be when he was dealing with the likes of Thierry Henry, Cesc Fabregas and even Robin van Persie. Those players made their intentions clear that they wanted to leave and he stood by them. But with Theo he seems to have gone the opposite way and said that if he isn't going to sign a contract then he isn't going to play him. That sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face, which isn't like Wenger. Theo says he wants to play through the middle and he can't do more than scoring goals, like he did in midweek. It's a strange one.
It doesn't look good when you ask for an opponent's shirt at half-time
If Andre Santos wanted to ask for Robin van Persie's shirt then he shouldn't have done it in the open, he should have done it in the tunnel. It's open to all sorts of interpretations and it doesn't look good. It's like 'fan man' on the pitch - the supporters would love to be able to get Van Persie's shirt - but he's supposed to be there trying to get a result for Arsenal. He hadn't had the best 45 minutes in the first place and maybe he realised that and feared he wouldn't get the opportunity to play in these big games very much in the future. He should be thinking that if he didn't get Van Persie's shirt on Saturday that he would be able to get it another day because he should believe he will play against him lots more times, but that didn't seem to be the case. Players never asked for shirts at half-time in my day and let's be honest, it's not a crime, but it doesn't look good.
Let's give West Ham some credit for the draw with Man City
You can only play as well as your opposition allow you to and if you take a balanced view then you'd have to say West Ham played well and Big Sam's tactics prevented Man City from doing what they're good at. They were also unfortunate because Kevin Nolan's goal was not offside; people say you're either offside or onside, but there should be benefit of the doubt given to the attacking players when it's a tight situation like that. They didn't get the rub of the green this week, but you can't criticise Man City too much. They are still unbeaten in the Premier League and even though they've had a bad time in Europe, going away to hard places like Upton Park and picking up a point when you don't play well is hardly a bad way to go about defending your title.
There'll be some head-scratching at White Hart Lane this week
I encouraged everybody to be cautious about Spurs following their win against Man United because I think people were getting a little bit carried away. I heard people saying things were all going in the right direction and Harry Redknapp would soon be a distant memory. All of a sudden it's changed again after the defeat to Wigan. They conceded a very bad goal from a set-play on Saturday, but you can't take anything away from Wigan who've had their best start for a long time. Good luck to Roberto Martinez for the rest of the season.
Two of the best signings of the season are Swansea players
Michu and Pablo Hernandez are two excellent players who have improved Swansea. Michael Laudrup inherited a decent squad when he replaced Brendan Rodgers over the summer and if he wanted to bring players in he needed to make sure they were better than what he had. I don't think there's any doubt that he's done that with the quality he's bought. I was surprised he got the job in the first place, despite his obvious pedigree, and there was a lot of pressure on him to follow Rodgers but I think the club deserve credit for giving him the opportunity. You'd have to say things are going in the right direction after a blip a few weeks ago when everyone thought things were going to come crashing down. I couldn't be more impressed and Michu and Hernandez showed in the draw with Chelsea that they've settled very quickly into the Premier League.
If you can't score a goal, you can't win a football match
Football is a fairly simple game and Sunderland fans should be worried by the inability of their side to get on the scoresheet at the moment. Aston Villa were the latest team to go there and win and Martin O'Neill will be having a look at himself in the coming days. His management style has been brilliant at every club he's been at throughout the whole of his career, but things aren't working for him at the moment. Maybe he needs to think about whether he needs to make some changes because if Steven Fletcher doesn't score then they are in trouble. I still doubt they will end up in a relegation fight with the players they've got, though.
Liverpool remain reliant on the goals of Luis Suarez
Luis Suarez's goal was absolutely fantastic against Newcastle. Liverpool are reliant on him at the moment because they don't have anybody else to call upon up front and it's clear he's their most important player. However, it was interesting to hear Brendan Rodgers' press conference after the game in which he said that will soon change. He's going to bring some help alongside him in the next two transfer windows and if one of those players is going to be Theo Walcott then it wouldn't bad news for Liverpool fans!

This peptide, formed by cleavage of two basic residues, is an endogenous peptide secreted into the circulation by intestinal L cells. A potent glucose-dependent insulinotropic hormone, it has important actions on gastric motility, on the suppression of plasma glucagon levels and possibly on the promotion of satiety and stimulation of glucose disposal in peripheral tissues independent of the actions of insulin. It potentiates insulin secretion by pancreatic A-cells in a glucose-dependent manner and inhibits gastric emptying and acid secretion.
