The sheer number of orphans being created is unusual in human history, as is the fact that many are dual orphans, children who have lost both parents and must be cared for by someone else. Compounding the problem for the elderly is the fact that their own numbers and the proportion of the population they constitute are also being affected by the epidemic, and all of the changes wrought by an HIV epidemic evolve as the epidemic grows and stabilizes. Accordingly, to adequately understand the total impact of the epidemic on the number and proportion of children who are orphans and on the number of grandparents and other family members who will be alive to care for them, one must employ a "whole population" model. Such a model takes into account all of the major avenues through which HIV impacts a population and how these interact with one another. Gregson, Garnett, and Anderson (1994) constructed one such model in the mid-1990s and used it to predict the major increase in the number and proportion of children who are orphaned as a result of HIV. Many of their theoretical findings are being validated now, as the epidemic unfolds and large numbers of orphans begin to appear in the worst affected African countries (Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, UNICEF, and U.S. Agency for International Development, 2002).
Gregson and colleagues (1994) also examined more general demographic impacts of an HIV epidemic and demonstrate significant changes in the age-specific sex ratio, population age structure, and overall growth rates—all of which affect the elderly as the underlying structure and size of the population changes. Results presented here largely corroborate their findings while adding some additional nuances.
The work presented here employs a different modeling strategy from that used by Gregson and colleagues (1994) to explore many of the same questions. The individual-level microsimulator used here is capable of modeling marriage, sex, and the biological and behavioral impacts of HIV. The individual-level nature of the model allows it to track the links between parents and children and grandparents and grandchildren. In comparison to the deterministic, compartmental model used by Gregson and colleagues, this model provides a direct means through which to measure the number of orphans and the number of grandparents who could be living with orphaned grandchildren. In addition, it is able to realistically model two different types of intervention: a preventive, largely behaviorally mediated intervention and an antiretroviral treatment program, which reduces viral load and increases the time between infection and death without having other specific preventive effects. Treatment programs of these two types are simulated in the late phase of an HIV epidemic to ascertain their overall effects and how these affect the situation of the elderly. It is important to keep in mind that the microsimulator used here is a heuristic tool that allows us to explore the intricate, interrelated processes operating to create

Strategic Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - January 14, 2010
HathiTrust Strategic Advisory Board
Conference Call
Thursday, January 14, 2010
2:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Central)
Participating: Ed van Gemert (chair), Sarah Pritchard, Bernie Hurley, Bruce Miller, John Butler, Jeremy York (for John Wilkin), Patricia Cruse, Paul Soderdahl (recorder). Guest: Paul Fogel.
Approved SAB minutes for 11/24/09 conference call
HT operations and development update, Jeremy York
. Shib SP (Service Provider) service installed on development servers. Expect to have in production sometime in Q1'10.
: In response to questions from the Board about any relationship between HT's Shib SP and MONK's Shib SP (specifically for CIC institutions), Jeremy followed up after the meeting that they have not had contact to this point with Mike Grady at UIUC. HT is still in preliminary stages of installation. They have been in contact with UMich's Scholarly Publishing Office, which is also running a Shib SP (for UK users). John Wilkin added that HT Shib planning has involved CIC CIO IdM group leaders and information sharing with John Ober at CDL.
Born digital content
. They have been working with UMich's Scholarly Publishing Office. They have some files from UM Press. Preliminary thoughts are to adopt ePub as the preferred format for delivery.
Non-Google/non-IA digitized print content
. UMich still in the process of hiring a programmer to work on this. Still accepting applications, but will close the search very soon. Goal is to hire one full-time programmer and/or other part-time developers.
: Jeremy clarified after the meeting that this will be UMich staff funded by UMich.
Non-print content
. Still in exploratory phase. Looking at an audio pilot and an image pilot (primarily, maps) to learn some about the metadata specifications, grouping, workflows, etc.
Data API
. Building interface to demonstrate use of the API (e.g. content validation purposes). Creating such an interface will also help finalize API specifications. Currently using the API for a UMich project in Islamic manuscripts. See
Bibliographic API/Rights API
. Formerly, the rights API returned a single identifier and a binary rights status. Rights functionality extended to return values for multiple items and enhanced rights attribute. Working on further developing API to receive an HT record number and return MARC XML.
Collaborative development environment
. Building a proof-of-concept implementation of the dev environment to bring to the WG. Planning to use the page turner for the proof of concept. Sebastien Korner (UMich) is lead.
HT research center
. The RFP that was drafted by the partner institutions last summer was approved last month by the Executive Committee and will be posted on website soon.
Paul Conway Mellon grant on validation of digital objects
. Have assembled an advisory board for the grant. Ed will represent SAB. Bruce mentioned that they were asked to contribute to the cost share but will be unable to do so. Sarah mentioned that the CIC Library Directors were similarly approached and most had the same reaction. Sarah reported there is still some talk of whether CIC itself might have something to offer.
Feasibility Study for Open-Access NSF Publication Repository
. NSF-funded planning grant for Johns Hopkins, Michigan, and CLIR to study feasibility of open access repository for NSF-funded research. Meeting planned at end of January to discuss technical specs.
: Jeremy clarified after the meeting that the NSF planning grant may evolve into a full NSF proposal.
TRAC audit
. Responding to requests for documentation from CRL. In some cases, HT documentation describes current practice rather than strictly policy document. Responding to questions regarding quantifying partner institutions' contributions have proven difficult. Jeremy is putting together a framework document describing roles.
Internet Archive ingest
. Finalizing specs. Expecting to dot pilot ingest of UC volumes by end of January.
Large-scale search
. Refining indexing process. As index grows, optimizing the index requires increasing resources and will impact schedule for acquiring new hardware. Currently working on best practices for indexing.
Discovery interface
. Planning to move beyond phase 1 is still on track. See separate agenda item below.
Update on the error rate working group, Paul Fogel
Report and recommendations from the Error Rate and HT Ingest WG attached.
Paul reported that the new "crap detector" seems promising as a replacement for the error rate metric because it incorporates manual review which should better reflect end user experience. Google will be adding the new metric to GRIN to allow HT to evaluate.
Board members discussed several issues at length, including:
Quality control as it affects user experience;
Concerns about rejecting any Google content, regardless of quality;
Acknowledging that the 15% threshold may be a close match to the original 3%, but concern that the original 3% value was arbitrary at the time and based on a flawed metric;
Implications of gating-at-ingest on non-Google content.
Board consensus was to affirm maintaining the status quo of 15% until a review of the new metric and the progress of the multi-institutional working group.
Board consensus also was to extend the WG and ask the group for an expanded report on the advantages and disadvantages of not gating and to recommend a set of quality principles.
: Ed will work with Paul Fogel to recast the WG's charge in light of the Board discussion.
Update on the discovery interface working group, John Butler
Due to time constraints, John will submit report in writing.
See report below
Discussion—volume duplication within HT, Ed van Gemert
Discussion postponed.
. After the meeting, Ed writes: "I was planning on making a pitch to the SAB to establish a group to evaluate the issues of de-duplication of files within HathiTrust. John Wilkin had laid out a draft charge for the review of duplicates in the 'Dear Ed' letter of 27 April, 2009. I would like for us to have this discussion at an upcoming meeting. As part of our implementation of a new resource discovery tool at Wisconsin, we've done some of the work that would be needed. We think we could assist a larger effort. I'll make my pitch at a later date."
New business: ingest reporting
Discussion postponed.
. After the meeting, Ed writes: "Wisconsin is looking at what is required to outline a process for designing an ingest reporting system. We intend to consult with and work with any interested HathiTrust partner libraries. Our programmers are initiating this work now."
New business: extend access to restricted resources for users with print disabilities
Discussion postponed.
. After the meeting, Ed writes: "The CIC library directors will be discussing all of the issues of expanding accessibility services to HT files for users with print disabilities. That discussion will need to include an understanding of costs and timelines, a consideration of several options or approaches for getting the work done, and figure out how best to include identity management staff, legal services, and access services staff from around the CIC. If we decide to tackle this project we would invite and plan to collaborate with any interested HathiTrust partner libraries."
Adjourned: 3:45pm CST.
Update on the discovery interface working group, John Butler
Discovery Interface Working Group Report
The OCLC development team, with which HathiTrust is collaborating, is completing software development for the HathiTrust data load into WorldCat Local (WCL) and is scheduled to install in late February. Loading records into the HathiTrust WCL version 1 will begin in March 2010.
Looking towards version 2 of the HathiTrust catalog, the working group has been synthesizing the roadmap discussion it had with the OCLC development team at its joint meeting in Chicago in late November. There is basic agreement on the goals for development in FY2011, but some concerns about whether the approach OCLC is asserting will provide the "openness" that HathiTrust requires. Concurrent with those discussion, the working group is beginning to review its scope and the membership it will need as the group's purview expands beyond bibliographic metadata, to include the integration of other features such as full-text search and the HathiTrust Collection Builder into the user experience.
Reflecting this broadening scope, the group was renamed: HathiTrust Discovery Interface Working Group. Also, the HathiTrust Executive Committee approved the proposal to have this working group report to the Strategic Advisory Board (SAB) to ensure stronger alignment between the development and delivery of discovery services with the overall direction of HathiTrust.

Last night I finished reading Witches, Bitches and other Small Town Folks: A Hodge-Podge of the History and People of Kendall County, Texas by John Edward Vogt. The book came out last month and I wanted to go the autographing session at the Read All About It Book Store, but I had a conflict and didn't pick up a copy until Thursday afternoon. It was a delightful read! The author reminisces about his life and what Boerne and Kendall County were like in the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. I learned a lot about Boerne and the happenings in the area through the eyes of a "town kid." Most of my family are "county kids." In the last fourth of the book, he shares information he found when he researched the county records and explains why the small rock building, where the county agent has his office, was built. He researched in depth about the formation of the county. Kendall County was the only county created during the Civil War. Very interesting! If you are interested in Boerne and Kendall County, I highly recommend you read Witches, Bitches and other Small Town Folks. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You can find copies for sale at the Read All About Book Store, http://www.readittexas.com/news.html.

I've played the game for about 4-5 hours now and decided to write something up here since this forum is so quiet.
- Very fun game
- Campaign mode is split up in small missions which make it perfect for an on-the-go experience. And some of them are a bit hard, even on easier difficulties, it's a challenging, fun game. There are, though, very few missions (10) but there's also 3 different difficulties
- Hostiles mode is pretty fun, and since I often play those type of survival Twin-Stick Shooters on my phone, I really enjoy the idea of the gametype. It's a shame it's only single player, they should have added a co-op option.
- Multiplayer is where this game shines. It's exactly what you'd expect from a CoD experience. Sure, it's a bit stripped out and you don't have the same hundreds or thousands of variables you can mess with on the console / PC releases, but the core game is there, it's fun as hell, and the sense of progression is kept intact. No voice chat (unless you're in a Vita Party system or something like that, didn't look much into it). Which is okay by me, I don't want to waste time muting little kids or people that are annoying.
- The maps are mostly small (to fit 4v4 matches) but work great, and even though most of them inspire a more action oriented play style, there are some maps where you can also sneak up on people and move like a ghost in the night (lol)
- Time Trial is... just there. I find it useless. It's interesting if you care about leaderboards. I don't care much, but might have a go at it again later. I am only interested in it from a trophy perspective (I'm a trophy whore ):).
- I don't get why Campaign Missions and the Hostile game mode don't have co-op. Nihilistic Software always said their main focus was the multiplayer, but they lost some very cool opportunities here. Eventually the Campaign will get stale.
- Only 6 multiplayer maps. Although they're good maps (a couple of them have very bad level design and are basic as hell... but still fun to play in), they're smaller than the main game's ones (which makes sense since it's 4v4 matches, and they work great on these small sized maps) and you'll get to know them rather quickly and probably start craving new ones (haven't reached this point yet, but I'm sure I will). Let's hope there's some DLC. But seriously, this game should have had more maps. They left out a lot of space on that game card.
- The respawning. Since the maps are so small, there's a lot of bad respawning. Especially on Free for All you'll see people spawning in front of you, or at your back. It's kind of ridiculous (depends on the map of course, only majorly happens on a couple of them).
- No ZOMBIES :( Here's to hoping we get them in some kind of update or DLC.
And there you go. 5 pros and 5 cons. Does this mean I feel the game is average? No. It's above average, it's good - the pros certainly outweight the cons since the game is very very fun. It's not excellent though, but it does exactly what I most wanted it to do: CoD Multiplayer on the go. There is though a lot of space for improvement that Nihilistic just didn't go into. The game feels a bit rushed it's true, they should have developed it a lot more, added more stuff (the Vita is certainly capable of it) and make it a bit more like the full CoD console / PC experience. As it stands, it's worth it for fans of the multiplayer experience especially.
Now excuse me while I pwn some dudes.

UK firm is lone bidder for Pa. lottery
Published: Nov 20 2012 07:00:00 PM EST Updated On: Nov 21 2012 07:35:17 PM EST
A "Camelot" of a different kind is courting the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Camelot Global Services out of the United Kingdom is the lone bidder for the lottery.
Camelot runs the U.K.'s national lottery.
It's promising about $34 billion in profits over 20 years if it gets control.
Still state lottery sales increased more than 8-percent last year.
Privatization opponents are questioning why Governor Tom Corbett wants to pay a private company when sales are already increasing.
Corbett's administration says expanding the lottery into online games and others is crucial to producing more revenue.

Vaughan, L; Griffiths, S; Haklay, M; Jones, CE; (2009) Do the suburbs exist? Discovering complexity and specificity in suburban built form. T I BRIT GEOGR , 34 (4) 475 - 488. 10.1111/j.1475-5661.2009.00358.x.

In human geography cities are routinely acknowledged as complex and dynamic built environments. This description is rarely extended to the suburbs, which are generally regarded as epiphenomena of the urbs and therefore of little intrinsic theoretical interest in themselves. This article presents a detailed critique of this widely held assumption by showing how the idea of 'the suburban' as an essentially non-problematic domain has been perpetuated from a range of contrasting disciplinary perspectives, including those that directly address suburban subject matter. The result has been that attempts to articulate the complex social possibilities of suburban space are easily caught between theories of urbanisation that are insensitive to suburban specificity and competing representations of the suburb that rarely move beyond the culturally specific to consider their generic significance. This article proposes that the development of a distinctively suburban theory would help to undermine one-dimensional approaches to the built environment by focusing on the relationship between social organisation and the dynamics of emergent built form.

It has almost been a year since Starkville native Travis Outlaw signed a five-year contract with the New Jersey Nets.
Outlaw hopes people won't judge him or the Nets on the first year.
The 2010-11 season was one of adjustment for Outlaw in New Jersey.
After beginning his NBA career with the Portland Trail Blazers and having a brief stint with the Los Angeles Clippers, Outlaw embarked on a new beginning with the Nets.
Outlaw was getting used to his new surroundings in New Jersey and the Nets were trying to find the best place for him to fit in.
"It was the first year and for everybody, there were some ups and downs," Outlaw said. "It's just trying to figure out the system with new teammates and it was like we were always in transition."
Outlaw averaged 9.2 points and four rebounds in 82 games for New Jersey last season. His 55 starts was a career-high and he averaged 28.8 minutes per game.
The Nets struggled as a team with a 24-58 record and finished fourth in the Atlantic Division.
Outlaw knows the players in New Jersey aren't getting any younger, but still has high hopes for what the team can accomplish.
"I like to call us a middle-aged team," Outlaw said. "We've got the potential to make it to the playoffs."
Outlaw has played in 482 games during his eight-year NBA career and has 87 starts to his credit. He has career averages of 9.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.
His best season in terms of scoring came in 2007-08 with Portland when he averaged 13.3 points per game.
Travis' father John expects better things from his son as his career with the Nets enters a second season.
In conversation with New Jersey head coach Avery Johnson, John overheard that the coaches would like for Travis to put up at least 17 shots per outing.
Even though Travis felt there weren't the opportunities to take that many shots last year, things may be different moving forward.
"(Johnson) said, 'I want you to put up those 17 shots' so this year, Travis said it's on," John Outlaw said.
There's one problem that may keep that from happening for a while.
The NBA is currently in a work stoppage as the players have been locked out. There's a possibility that part if not all of next season will be lost if the two sides don't settle the labor disputes soon.
Outlaw wishes the lockout could have been avoided, but knows it's just a situation that needs to be worked out.
"It's never fun because right now the players are out of work," Outlaw said. "You never like to be out of work so it's a little bit of a transition."
In the meantime, Outlaw plans to enjoy time with his family at home and work out as much as possible.

Signature Cotton Thigh High
Also found in:
♠ Thigh Highs ♠ Over The Knee ♠ Solid ♠ Foot Traffic ♠ Opaque
Comfy, opaque and durable, these cotton thigh highs even have a hidden silicone band in the cuff to help keep them up.
About 26 inches from end to end, unstretched, they have a reinforced toe, but no formed heel and will fit most sizes of feet. A pretty floral grip band inside the cuff helps keep them up!
The cuff stretches to about 18 inches, we could get a little more stretch but softer legs may find the broad cuff bites in a bit. The body of the sock stretches to about 23 inches.
Additional Info: Expertly crafted using the finest quality combed cotton, these thigh highs are one-of-a-kind for their stylish design, comfy fit, and lasting durability. Their tightly woven, fine-spun fabric has a jersey-like softness identical to that of their Signature Cotton Tights. No need to worry about runs or snags that often appear in ordinary tights. Foot Traffic says "Our cotton tights are a balanced mixture of cotton and spandex, so they are sleek but strong. Sporting a discreet elastic waistband and minimal seaming, these tights disappear under the most fitted dresses or skirts."
In fact, Foot Traffic loves these thigh highs so much that right on the label they say "We provide the finest cotton tights in the world. If you are not fully satisfied, for any reason, just return them within 60 days for a refund or replacement product.
Made in Taiwan, Foot Traffic has worked with the same mill for over 20 years and assures us they meet all benchmarks of positive and conscientious standards.
Fiber Content: 60% combed cotton, 35% nylon, 5% spandex.
Machine washable in cool water, tumble dry low.
Label: Foot Traffic
How well do these stay up? If I plan to wear these for more than 8 hours, will I need to buy additional sock glue? If I buy sock glue, what is the main difference between these and the extraordinary thigh highs?
Will these fit plus sized girl in particular? like- will they go all the way to the thigh without having to yank and pull? I've had that problem in the past with buying socks online and I just don't want to be disappointed. :(
I'm a size 11 in jeans, would these thigh highs fit me comfortably?
where are these shipped from?
I need to know if these are thick enough to hide a colorful calf tattoo. Thank you!
hi how much is postage to uk for these
Does this come in other colors?
I need mine by Halloween, about how long do they take to get here? (I live in the US)
Am officially out of room for socks. Overflowing. You know what that means... Time to start tossing underwear.

Student Engineers' Council endows engineering scholarship
Texas A&M University's Student Engineers' Council (SEC) has parlayed $25,000 from their student organization account to honor electrical engineering professor Dr. Joe Howze with an undergraduate scholarship endowed in his name.
The council's gift, funded through the Texas A&M Foundation, will establish the Dr. Jo Howze Engineering Excellence Award in the Dwight Look College of Engineering.
Dr. Jo Howze is a professor of electrical engineering at Texas A&M. Howze came to Texas A&M in 1972 as an assistant professor of electrical engineering. He headed the department from 1986 to 1992 and has been coordinator for the department's graduate and undergraduate programs. His research interests are in the area of automatic controls and energy systems, including dynamical systems modeling and engineering systems design and design methodologies. Applications include hybrid vehicles, fuel cell energy systems, power electronics, semiconductor processing controls and automotive control systems.
Howze is a member of the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and Sigma Xi, the national scientific research society, and a senior member of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Howze holds two bachelor's degrees in mechanical engineering and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, all from Rice University.
Howze was the senior associate dean of engineering for the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M and assistant director of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station. Upon his retirement, the Students Engineers' Council wanted to give back and honor Howze, because of all of his service and support he had given to the engineering students.
The Dr. Joe Howze Engineering Excellence Award will be awarded for the first time in fall 2013 to provide one or more full-time undergraduate scholarships in the Look College. Recipients of the scholarship will possess leadership within the college of engineering, academic excellence, as well as service and involvement through the Texas A&M.
The Dwight Look College of Engineering has more than 11,000 undergraduates and graduate students enrolled in Spring 2011.
The Texas A&M Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises major gifts and manages endowments for the sole benefit of Texas A&M University for generations to come.

Idaho will see an overall increase in workers compensation rates in 2013 of approximately 3.9 percent.
Policyholders should not expect their rates to go up exactly 3.9 percent when their policies are renewed. Rates are set for approximately 600 classifications for various types of employment. The 3.9 percent increase is an overall average. Some policyholders' rates may increase, while others may experience decreases. The actual premium for individual policyholders also is affected by claims experience.
The State Insurance Fund has gained approval from the Department of Insurance for a 9 percent deviation, or across-the-board cut, from the standard rates approved for 2013.
The 2013 rates were proposed by the National Council on Compensation Insurance and approved by the Department of Insurance. The NCCI is a rating organization whose membership consists of workers compensation insurers.

My brother suggested I would possibly like this blog. He used to be totally right. This submit truly made my day. You can not believe just how so much time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
I like the valuable information you provide in your articles. I'll bookmark your weblog and take a look at once more right here regularly. I am moderately sure I will be informed plenty of new stuff proper right here! Good luck for the next!
Start out with a random orbit sadner. Sand in the direction of the grain with 60 grit to remove the old finish, then move up to 100 grit, and finish with 150 grit. Use a tack cloth to remove any dust. Next stain to the color of your choosing, allow to sit for a few minutes, then wipe off the excess. I recommend oil based stain and polyurethane, but you can use water based if you like. Do not mix the 2. If you use water stain, use water polyurethane, or oil and oil. Allow to dry overnight, then apply a coat of polyurethane. For furniture, I usually use satin finish. Allow to dry overnight, and then lightly sand by hand with 220 grit paper. Wipe with a tack cloth and apply a second coat of polyurethane and allow to dry. If desired, repeat for a third coat. I would stay away from the combination stain/polyurethane products. It seems easier, but you get better results using them separately. Hope this helps.
I've read numerous books and bought several online woodworking blueprints and this is clearly the best that is on the market in every respect http://www.trustedonlinereviews.info/products/woodworking
I am really inspired together with your writing abilities as neatly as with the layout in your blog. Is that this a paid subject or did you customize it your self? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to peer a nice blog like this one these days..

The latest data shows growing adoption for Apple's current mobile OS as iOS 9 is expected to be unveiled in June.
The rate of adoption picked up steam with the release of iOS 8.1.3, which fixed some bugs and eased the software's demand for storage space on devices.
The number of people jumping to the latest version of Apple's mobile OS has slowed down dramatically, according to Apple's latest stats.
Apple's latest version of its mobile OS has picked up a bit more steam following the holidays.
The newest version of Apple's mobile OS didn't get off to as fast a start as its predecessor, but it's picking up steam.
The new figure shows steady but slow growth from the 46 percent reported by Apple more than a month ago.
A mobile analytics firm pegs iOS 8's adoption rate at 44.5 percent since launch 20 days ago. By contrast, iOS 7 had reached nearly 70 percent adoption over the same period last fall.
Adoption of the the 4.7-inch model has surpassed that of the 5.5-inch edition, according to mobile analytics firms. But is the smaller phone more popular or just easier to find?

Provolone-Stuffed Pork Chops with Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipe
5 4
Provolone cheese and a fresh tarragon vinaigrette give these stuffed pork chops the savory feel of dining in Provence. —Barbara Pletzke, Herndon, Virginia
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops (8 ounces each and 3/4 inch thick)
- 4 slices provolone cheese, cut into eighths
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh tarragon or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges
- In a small bowl, whisk the first six ingredients. Set aside 1/4 cup vinaigrette for serving.
- For pork chops, cut a pocket in each chop by slicing almost to the bone; fill pockets with cheese. Combine the oil, tarragon, salt and pepper; brush onto both sides of chops.
- Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, rub on grill rack to coat lightly. Brush tomato wedges with some of the remaining vinaigrette. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Set aside.
- Grill chops, covered, over medium heat or broil 4-5 in. from the heat 4-5 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°). Baste frequently with remaining vinaigrette during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with tomatoes and reserved vinaigrette. Yield: 4 servings.

The Kwara House of Assembly on Thursday called on Gov. AbdulFatah Ahmed to resuscitate the Shaata water works in Asa Local Government Area of the state.
The House made the call in its resolution after adopting the report on the condition of the water works prepared by its Committee on Agriculture and Water Resources
The resuscitation of the waterworks would go a long way to arrest the acute water shortage being experienced by the people of the area. The Speaker, Hon. Rasaq Atunwa, stressed the importance of potable water to both human beings and animals and called on the state government to repair the water works.
He reminded the state government of the huge sum of money already spent on the water projects across the state. Atunwa urged the state government to ensure that the project met the intended purpose of adequate provision of water for all.
The House similarly called on Asa Local Government Council to provide adequate security at the water works to prevent vandalism.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the Shataa water works broke down five years ago following acts of vandalism at the siteof the water works. (NAN)

Academic Partnerships Helps UT Arlington Move Courses Online as More Nurses and Hospitals Seek Access
By Greg Russell
According to the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses, fewer than 40 percent of all employed registered nurses hold a baccalaureate degree in nursing. Yet, calls to increase the number of higher educated registered nurses have not caught up with the growing demand. Hospitals and other health care facilities have a great need for nurses who are baccalaureate prepared. For example, surgical patients treated by nurses holding a BSN have a "substantial survival advantage" over those who did not have nurses with a BSN according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Nurses who complete their BSN also open the door to additional career opportunities and provide a new level of credibility and care to their patients.
The University of Texas at Arlington (UT Arlington) School of Nursing has taken aim toward increasing access to a baccalaureate education for registered nurses with a new model that offers the flexibility to fit with a nurse's schedule while maintaining the same high level of quality for which the university is known.
"We knew students were missing prerequisite courses so our solution was to include them in the online program. We're in touch with the market needs and with the needs of our healthcare partners. And, we really have the right people here to do it," says Dr. Elizabeth Poster, dean of the UT Arlington School of Nursing.
"We have stepped out of our comfort zone of just having students in the classroom and are embracing new technologies to meet our responsibilities as an educational institution, and to increase the number of BSN prepared nurses," adds Gladys Maryol, director of the undergraduate program at the UT Arlington School of Nursing.
Nursing is a practice that continues to undergo change in response to medical, social and procedural developments. And these changes, in turn, will continue to impact how its students are taught.
"Our program focuses on changing how the working RN practices nursing," says UT Arlington School of Nursing Associate Dean Mary (Beth) Mancini. She cited increasing emphasis on patient safety, health policy, health information technology and genetics as points that are taught and emphasized differently today than during the past decade. She also cited the natural shifting of age and cultural demographics, and what these mean to the practicing nurse.
"All these things are necessary for today's practicing nurses to understand and integrate into their day-to-day practice," Mancini says.
Meeting Industry Demands
The UT Arlington School of Nursing is helping to progressively meet the extra demand for more BSN prepared nurses. One method began last fall when the school partnered with service provider Academic Partnerships in offering an RN to BSN distance education program. This online program gives registered nurses a path to a bachelor's degree through a plan that includes a combination of nursing and general courses. The program incorporates all prerequisite courses, up to 18 general education courses. Students who have already fulfilled their prerequisites can finish the program in as little as 13 months by taking eight nursing courses and one upper level elective for 35 credit hours.
"There are a significant number of efforts to increase the number of BSN prepared nurses in Texas," Mancini says. "The academic partnership program is helping the practicing nurses to acquire the knowledge and skills to practice in the new roles of today and in the future—doing it in an efficient and effective manner."
Offering Flexibility
The RN to BSN degree plan is based on a curriculum designed completely by UT Arlington faculty, who intimately understand the additional knowledge needed by nurses in hospital settings.
Courses are open for admission at eight entry points per year. Special instructional design efforts have resulted in user friendly, media rich coursework that engages today's busy online student, and encourages them to complete reading assignments and participate in online discussion forums. A team of qualified academic "coaches" works with course instructors to assist students to successfully progress through the program. Individual "coaches" are assigned to groups of about 25 students from within the larger course "classroom." Each "coach" holds at least a master's degree and helps coordinate and facilitate course activities for students.
"These individuals are an important aspect of our program. They provide valuable support and course navigation for students throughout the length of the program and help students stay on target and on time as they progress to graduation," says Mancini.
Maryol says the program is clearly being embraced, and she points to the 1,400 students who have enrolled since it began in November 2008. Some students who began the program at that time will be able to graduate as early as this December (2009), and will walk the commencement stage alongside those who attended on campus.
"In our traditional RN to BSN program, students are required to come to class one full day a week," she says. "That becomes difficult over the course of two semesters—it becomes very difficult for some to maintain that—but access online is a different story. And the feedback that we are getting from students in the program is very positive. Online learning is not for everyone. That's why we are committed to maintaining our traditional programs, because there are students who benefit most from interacting with others in a classroom."
She adds, "We're able, with the two tracks, to meet the needs of a much larger group of students."
Broadening Geographical Boundaries
Added to its convenience of offering a Web-based education, the RN to BSN program can create a larger number of BSN prepared nurses through its outreach to hospital cities beyond the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Maryol points out that the online program now includes students who are registered nurses in San Antonio, Austin and Houston. After graduating, they can seek professional advancement and provide enhanced patient care in those more distant areas.
"It's not bound by geography," she said about this new program. "In our traditional program, we have functioned with designated distance sites for many years and those are in the close north Texas geographic area. But that's a fairly confined geographic area."
Tuition reimbursement, though common for medical education, is another factor that has been simplified for students in this new UT Arlington program. Generally, when registered nurses enroll in educational programs, they have to wait the duration of a normal semester or academic year and earn passing grades before finally being reimbursed. In the case of this shorter and more affordable class structure, students are able to pay lower tuition costs and then be reimbursed within a few weeks. In addition, the program's unique design has created cost efficiencies that are passed along to the students, making UT Arlington's RN to BSN program even more affordable.

Our Animals
Click Here To View Our Virtual Barn!
The over 160 farm animals that reside at The Gentle Barn have all been rescued from severe abuse, neglect, abandonment or worse. They have been rehabilitated with traditional and non-traditional medicine, top quality nutrition, and countless hours in the arms of our staff and volunteers. They have regained their trust in humankind by realizing that they are now loved, and their abuse is over. Because of their ongoing physical and psychological needs, they can't be adopted and are given sanctuary with us for the rest of their lives.
We are home to horses, donkeys, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, llamas, dogs, and cats. We believe that everyone deserves a chance at life, regardless if they are blind, crippled, deformed, sick, wounded, or just old.
Because the animals at The Gentle Barn have experienced abuse and severe neglect, their treatment and rehabilitation is extremely expensive and can take a long time. But it is worth it to see them smile again, to watch their eyes light up, to feel them cuddle in your lap, and to see them play with new life and new hope.
Once rehabilitated, the animals become ambassadors, teaching children about the magic and grace of these precious beings. We appreciate your donation.

Italy manager Cesare Prandelli is confident his players have enough hunger to see them through their UEFA EURO 2012 campaign.
The Italians served up a 2-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland in Poznan on Monday just when they needed it most, with their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals in doubt.
Goals from Antonio Cassano before the break and substitute Mario Balotelli at the death were enough to claim the points and the win. And, coupled with Croatia's 1-0 defeat by Spain, the Italians secured second place in Group C.
Prandelli said: "I'm happy for the team and I'm happy for the squad. I am lucky enough to work with lads who are very serious and also lads who have won a lot of trophies, and they are still very motivated.
"My task in this is not that huge because they are the ones who determine the actual team spirit. The players have a lot of quality. First and foremost, they really need to show intensity and then their quality will start to show itself."
Italy certainly did show their quality on the night, but it was matched, for the first time in the tournament, by the Republic's battling spirit, for around 35 minutes at least.
It was then that Cassano managed to glance Andrea Pirlo's corner past goalkeeper Shay Given and although the Republic of Ireland rallied once again, they had midfielder Keith Andrews sent off for a second bookable offence just seconds before Balotelli made sure of the points with a last-minute volley.
Trapattoni proud of the Irish
Manager Giovanni Trapattoni said: "This evening, we played much better than in the games against Croatia and Spain. We played with more personality. The players respected what we said and played with creativity and commitment.
"We committed little mistakes on two corners, which has not been our habit, but I am proud of our commitment."
Republic of Ireland will head home tomorrow with their tournament over, but Trapattoni is tipping his native country for an extended stay in Poland and Ukraine. The 73-year-old Italian said: "Of course qualifying tonight, they have got even more confidence in them.
"Italy are well aware of their strengths and just how good they are, technically speaking. We are always talking about how many skilful and creative players they have. We talk about the Spanish players and people like [Lionel] Messi, but Italian players have a very good technique and very few passes go astray and of course, you grow in confidence when this happens.
"You can't rule them out from anything. They could go the whole way. There are other strong sides like Germany and England, but some strong sides will go home and Italy have the quality to go far."

Impeachment, Inc.
Earlier this week, I mentioned that World Net Daily, home of anti-Obama fulminations, bizarre conspiracy theories, and miracle-drug come-ons, has an "Impeachment Store" that is your one-stop shop for all your impeachment needs. TPM evidently noticed too, because they did a whole story on it the next day. And today, the Washington Examiner has a story explaining how impeachment has become an effective sales—excuse me, organizing—tool for the right. This kind of thing goes back decades to when clever political direct-mail entrepreneurs figured out that once you got the name and address of an angry old conservative couple willing to donate a few bucks to a candidate or a right-wing organization, you could keep milking that cow for years, selling their information again and again and hitting them up for a variety of candidates and causes. It turned out they'd also be susceptible to pitches for all manner of snake oil, and when you put them together on a list with a couple million people just like them, it was like printing money.
As in so many other areas, the rise of the Internet made it more efficient and easier to scale up. Now you can reach your marks with web ads and emails, too, to make sure they buy all the quickie books Regnery can churn out and keep making those donations. Last year, Dick Morris was caught running a scam with the help of Newsmax.com, whereby people would donate to his super PAC thinking they were helping to defeat Barack Obama, but the money ended up going to the bombastic news site and the oleagenous pundit. But without an election coming up for a few years, the ridiculous pipe dream of impeachment has become the vehicle to keep those dollars flowing:
A petition drive to marshal support for defunding Obamacare, Dontfundit.com, is also allowing the conservative political action committee behind the website to collect contact information of one million potential new donors.
Dontfundit.com features and has been aggressively promoted by Republican Sens. Mike Lee, of Utah, and Ted Cruz, of Texas, the ringleaders of the relatively small but influential band of conservatives leading the effort to defund the Affordable Care Act. But the website is run by the Senate Conservatives Fund, a PAC founded by Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint and now under the exclusive control of his former aide, Matt Hoskins.
So far, 880,000 people have visited the website to urge lawmakers to strip all Obamacare funding from the must-pass spending bill they will take up in coming weeks. But clicking "sign the petition," which requires a name and email address, immediately takes visitors to a separate Senate Conservatives Fund website that encourages contributions.?>
There are certainly liberals who make money by providing products for other liberals to express themselves. Those "It will be a great day when the schools have all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber" bumper stickers aren't going to manufacture themselves, after all. And yes, liberal organizations too spend lots of time raising money. But what you don't see on the left is this longstanding, well-organized infrastructure of rube exploitation. For-profit entities like Newsmax and World Net Daily, PACs that seem to exist only to enrich the consultants who run them—these things are much more common on the right. Maybe it's their devotion to capitalism, but conservative businesspeople are particularly adept at taking a political sentiment and weaving it into a pitch for something like gold coins or doomsday prepper paraphernalia. And the media and political figures who can provide validation and a window into those audiences/markets are only too willing to get on board.
Tue, 2013-09-03 13:33
It might be useful for someone progressive publication to write a similar article about how progressive calls for signing online petitions in support of various progressive causes are also little more than some organization trolling for potential donors.
Online petitions have no useful function. A hard-copy petition with an actual signature and real-world mailing address has some kind of validity; the recipients can check to see whether the signers exist, are registered to vote, etc.
With an online petition there is no way to verify anything. People can sign onto them any number of times using any real or fake e-mail addresses they want and it's all good. Anyone working for a government agency, corporation or acting as some other kind of decision maker would be foolish to treat an online petition as an accurate measure of public support for any policy position.
But once one has signed one or more such petitions, the requests for donations start rolling in and never stop.
