Geoff Calkins: Dreamer on her knees to scrub, pray for a chance
She cleans houses. She cleans houses because her mother cleans houses and the people pay in cash and, yes, they are here, illegally, from Mexico.
So she cleans houses. Six in a good week, but more often less.
"People go out of town," she says. "Stuff like that."
She is 19. Her mother gives her 30 bucks a house.
Not exactly the life you'd expect for a young woman who, slightly more than a year ago, gave a commencement address as the salutatorian at Kingsbury High School.
The valedictorian is a student at Rhodes. The salutatorian is working with a pail and mop.
"Someday, I want to go to college," she says. "But right now, I can't."
From 5-7 this evening, in the Memphis City School auditorium on Avery, some of the best, most promising kids in the city will be filling a coffin with transcripts and letters of recommendation and reports cards and college board scores.
What use is all that paper to them, anyway? Who needs a letter of recommendation to wield a broom?
And before you fire up your laptop to tap out a screed on either side of the immigration debate, how about taking a moment to think about the 2009 salutatorian at Kingsbury, and whether she represents one piece of this ugly civic brawl that we should all be able to agree on?
I'll call her Rosa -- she asked that I not use her real name -- but she's as American as any Katie or Jamie you'd care to meet. She came to the country when she was "four or five." She can't remember, honestly. It wasn't her decision. She can barely remember the trip.
The family landed in Memphis. Rosa wound up at Kingsbury, where she excelled at pretty much everything. She got straight A's. She was captain of the soccer team. She's a fabulous artist; two of her pieces have been displayed in the Memphis airport.
"She's one of the most wonderful students I've ever had the opportunity to teach," said Janna Bernstein, who teaches art at Kingsbury.
And then it came time to apply to colleges. And then the reality dawned.
Without legal residency, Rosa couldn't apply for student loans. She couldn't get in-state tuition. She couldn't get a proper job to pay her own way.
So now she cleans houses and saves money and tries not to lose hope.
"It breaks my heart," said Bernstein. "This child has been in this country since kindergarten. She's done everything right. And here, in Memphis, we're supposed to teach that every child can go to college. Sometimes, when I tell the students what is possible if they work hard, it feels like a lie."
Or maybe you think an art teacher is bound to be a softie on this kind of thing. Meet Steve Williams, who teaches Junior ROTC at Kingsbury and served in the U.S. Army Special Forces in Iraq.
As Williams explains, Junior ROTC is really a citizenship class. Rosa was chosen to be an officer in his.
"She's a great young lady," he said. "I can't say enough for her. I've never been ashamed of anything as much as the situation we put her in."
There is a solution, if politicians have the courage to embrace it. It's called the Dream Act. It was first introduced in the Senate in 2001 and would provide temporary residency to a select group of students for the purpose of getting a college education.
It would only apply to kids of who were brought here before the age of 16. Kids of "good moral character," who would then have six years to get a degree and achieve permanent residency.
In other words, it's a way to provide hope to kids who are going to stay in this country anyway, while limiting the privilege of American citizenship to those who would -- through their energy, creativity and determination -- make this country a better, more vibrant place.
That's the part of this that can get lost in the hollering. Putting a ceiling on what students like Rosa can accomplish is just dumb. What kind of sensible society gives free rides to hulking athletes who don't give a flip about education -- some of whom are literally forced to go to college for just one year, and bolt as soon as that year is over -- while closing the door to college on those who are most desperate to learn, contribute and excel?
Naturally, then, the Dream Act may not survive the political process. Republicans are terrified to do anything that looks like they're soft on immigration. Some Democrats have been hesitant to separate the Dream Act from more comprehensive immigration reform because -- get this -- they know it's the best story they've got.
So Rosa cleans houses. She sweeps and she dusts and she scrubs toilets and she dreams.
"Someday soon, I'd like to go to college," she says.
Someday soon, she should.

Friends pay tribute to Morriston man who died in car crash close to Ystradgynlais
Posted: December 10, 2012|
FRIENDS of a much-loved Swans fan who died after a car crash have paid tribute to the 29-year-old.
Andrew Williams, of Clase, died after the collision at around 8am on Saturday
It happened near the Aubrey Roundabout in the Gurnos area of Ystradgynlais.
A spokesman for Dyfed-Powys Police said an appeal had been launched for witnesses to the incident and added: "The collision involved a silver Honda Civic and resulted in the death of the sole occupant, Andrew Williams, aged 29, of Clase in Morriston.
"HM coroner has been informed and the investigation is ongoing."
Friends of the motorist paid their condolences to him within hours of the incident on social network Facebook.
Terri Louise Crocker wrote: "Can't believe you've been taken away from us like this.
"I love you cuz and you will always be in my thoughts and my heart. Love you angel, sleep tight."
Another friend of Mr Williams also took to his Facebook page to express his sorrow at the news of his death and wrote: "Well, Andrew not for one minute did I ever think I would ever have to write this to you. I can't even put into words the way me and Rich are feeling right now and all our other friends.
"We have lost one truly amazing and caring gentleman and what a absolute honour it was to be your friend.
"Nothing will be the same without you Ging and I wish things were different but they're not. We will honour your memory forever as you played such a big part in so many peoples lives and yes we have all lost a very dear and amazing friend but Andrew heaven has gained one very special angel. Love you always."
Charlene Williams, a cousin of Mr Williams, took to her own Facebook page and wrote: "He was my life not just my cousin. He was also like a brother a best friend my soul mate, who am I gonna turn to now when things get hard.
"Miss and love you so much big man. "Sleeptight."
Mynyddbach councillor Gloria Tanner did not know Mr Williams but said: "Any loss of life at this time of year is sad.
"My thoughts are with his family."
Police closed the road in Ystradgynlais where the incident happened for several hours on Saturday morning.
Firefighters from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service were also involved in making the vehicle safe following the collision.
Crews from Pontardawe and Abercrave were dispatched to the scene.
Dyfed-Powys Police is asking anyone with information relating to the collision to contact them on 101.

Office 365 To Replace LearnLink For EmailEmory University will be switching to Microsoft Office 365 for University-wide email and calendar services, but will be keeping LearnLink for conference use only in fall 2012, according to Manager of Centers for Educational Technology Kim Braxton.
CloudStore Buy Sees Thousands of Ambulance Staff Move to Office 365"What we saw is the advantage Lync gave, to introduce videoconferencing and conferencing, and awareness of presence into the organisation. That was a real bonus, so people could potentially travel less or be more efficient in their use of the time." -- Phil Collins, IM&T manager at WMAS
Increasing Business Efficiency Through Cloud ComputingFor event agency iLUKA, flexible IT is key. Cloud computing provides a cheap and efficient, scalable system to meet their business needs.
Windows Live SkyDrive and Office 365Windows Live is a great service for consumers, but Office 365 is a more serious option. If users of the Microsoft Office suite haven't yet seen Windows Live SkyDrive, they really should take a look at it.
What's the Best Online App Solution for Your Business?The two contenders: Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps for Business. Which is your organization's best bet? Ed Bott and Chris Dawson debate the pros and cons of each.
Microsoft's Design DriveTo win, or even just to survive, in what has become a consumer-driven industry, products need to be eye candy that force shoppers to take a second look.
Windows 8 Enterprise to Embrace 'Bring Your Own Device' CultureMicrosoft has bowed to the age of consumerisation and 'bring your own device' (BYOD), announcing features in the next version of its business OS, Windows 8 Enterprise, it hopes will fit in with the trend towards device hopping and home working.
You always talk about Office 365 being 24/7, enterprise ready, better than other options, etc. But I have some bad news regarding support, or lack thereof.
First, I tried to create 2 new site collections in my (paid) E3 Office tenant. However, they would not complete creating after a very long period and many refreshes. So I called support as suggested when I started to fill out a Service Request - the number for the U.S. for the record was 1-800-865-9408.
To be fair, it was Saturday night at about 6pm. But I know the advantage of Microsoft support is something you tout, so I figured someone would be available to help me. I called and after about 10 minutes, no one picked up. I tried again as if I maybe got the wrong support line. Same result – NO one picked up. I tried again with other number options like the billing ones just to see if I could any human to pick up and transfer me to the right people. Nothing – even got a recording saying literally "we are closed".
So I finished completing the Service Request and it's now 90 minutes later and I still do not have my site collections working. Guess I will have to wait until Monday when everyone gets back in for Microsoft.
I just figured you would want to know.
E3 Plan Man
thank you

Infielder Sean Rodriguez won't be rejoining the Tampa Bay Rays later this week as expected after he broke his right hand while punching a locker at Triple-A Durham. Rays manager Joe Maddon says that Rodriguez was very contrite and upset about his actions when the two shared texts. Maddon said Tuesday that it was unfortunate because Rodriguez was set to play for the Rays in Toronto this weekend. Rodriguez, who was hitting .215 in 106 games for Tampa, was optioned to Durham on Aug. 21. Maddon said the plan was for Rodriguez to go down, work on some things and then rejoin the team. There is a chance Rodriguez could be back before the end of the season, but Maddon says that's ''no real great solace'' now.

Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Malbec
The purple Malbec variety grapes which now grow all over the Old and New Worlds had their origins in France, where they are one of the few grape varieties allowed to be used in the highly esteemed blended wines of Bordeaux. However, it is perhaps the New World Malbec wines which have attracted the most attention in recent years, as they thrive in hot southern climates in ways they cannot in their native country, where the damp conditions leave them highly vulnerable to rot. Malbec grapes are renowned for their high tannin content, resulting in full-bodied red wines packed with ripe, plummy flavors and held in their characteristically dark, garnet colored liquid. In many countries, Malbec is still used primarily as a varietal for blending, as it adds a great level of richness and density to other, lighter and thinner varietals. However, single variety Malbec wines have been greatly on the rise in recent years, with some fantastic results and big, juicy flavors marking them out as a great wine for matching with a wide range of foods.
Region: Cuyo
Undoubtedly the most important viticultural region of the country of Argentina is Cuyo, the arid and red-soiled area within central-west Argentina which produces over eighty percent of the nation's wine each year. Cuyo represents the finest aspects of Argentinian wine making, with wineries in the region celebrating their traditions which stretch back to the sacramental wines first introduced to the country by Spanish settlers hundreds of years ago. As with much of Argentina, Cuyo is most famous for the production of Malbec wines, with Malbec grapes thriving prodigiously in the hot climate of the region, reaching full ripeness in ways they rarely could in their native France, and producing wines of exceptional flavor and quality. The Desaguadero River is the key water source in this otherwise dry and dusty region, and successful irrigation projects have helped bring water to even the driest vineyards within Cuyo.
Country: Argentina
As the world's fifth largest producer of wine, after France, Italy, Spain and the United States, Argentina has plenty to offer the international wine market in regards to both quantity and quality. Despite this being the case for several decades now, it has only been since the end of the twentieth century that the Argentinian wine industry has really begun to up their game when it comes to the methods and techniques required to produce world class wines, which are both representative of their country and region of origin, and which stand alone as complex, interesting and delicious wines to drink. As Argentina became a serious contender in the international wine market, wineries previously concerned primarily with high volumes began to change their priorities, and formerly struggling small bodegas and independent wineries began to find success. Nowadays, well crafted wines from smaller vineyards in Argentina are being lauded as some of the finest in the world, and the country is starting to reap the benefits of its heritage, which include some very old vines, and up to four centuries of experience in wine production.

Four strands run through and guide the program: diversity, technology, field experience, and performance assessment (including the use of electronic portfolios). Students who successfully complete all requirements of a teacher preparation program that is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and the Indiana Department of Education are eligible for licensure in the state of Indiana.
Once licensed, an elementary education graduate is qualified to teach all subjects to elementary students (kindergarten through 6th grade) in a public, private, or independent school. With 43 interstate licensing agreements, graduates will be able to teach almost anywhere in the country.
Transfer GPA and Course Requirements
Purdue admits to individual majors. To be considered for admission as a college transfer student, applicants must meet minimum GPA requirements for their desired major. In addition, some majors have course requirements. Requirements for this major are posted below (unless the program is closed to transfers).

Structural Repairs
As furniture ages, many of the glue joints become dry and loose. In order to maintain the structural integrity of each piece they must often have re-gluing done to tighten joints. This is especially true of items such as dining room chairs and desk chairs.
The Village Woodsmith re-glues at least 250-300 chairs per year. We are proud to say we have never had one returned. We take the chairs apart, replace any broken dowels and then re-glue under clamps for at least 24 hours to insure a strong bond of the joint. These chairs are now better than when they left the factory and are ready to give you many years of continued service.
Stripping Furniture for Refinishing
When it is necessary to strip furniture we will make ever effort to sand off the old finish. If this is not possible because of trim or design we then have it stripped using the "Overflow Method." We never submerse a piece of furniture into a vat of stripper. This is disastrous to the furniture.
We use the overflow method because it is the most effective way to strip furniture with out having to dip it. There is a continuous flow of stripper being re-circulated over the piece while a soft brush head is scrubbing away the old finish. This is the only chemical method we use.
Office and Conference Room Furniture
Your office furniture and fixtures say a lot about how you run your business. Water rings, scuffs, gouges, faded finishes, and worn, creaky joints may not have anything to do with how your company performs, but may have everything to do with how it is perceived. When your desks and chairs, tables and woodwork begin to show the inevitable signs of daily wear and high-traffic use, your carefully-cultivated image may suffer.
Waiting Room Furniture
The Village Woodsmith can help ensure that your office environment projects the professional image and standards of your company.
Why Us?
Many shops do not offer touchup service. Good touchup work requires a great deal of experience and skill, every bit as much as what is necessary to refinish something completely. There are many businesses who offer touchup service, but do not do refinishing. Since we are skilled at both Refinishing and Touchup, you can be assured that we will provide an objective assessment regarding which approach is best for your items.
Please check out our before and after work:
The Village Woodsmith restores and repairs damaged wood furniture and antique furniture. We provide services for furniture types ranging from jewelry boxes & chests to book cases, credenzas and conference tables.
We are a licensed, bonded, and insured furniture repair and restoration business. We have many years experience working on furniture, usually pieces passed down through families. We are also a graduate of the only school of its kind in the United States for furniture restoration and repair.

Care and Tips
Proper maintenance, furniture repair, antique restoration & antique refinishing will ensure its longevity. While there are countless products and remedies available to care for various types of antiques and wood furniture, many will often damage or greatly shorten the lifespan. Please consider our tips to ensure your furniture looks great and lasts generations.
Tips To Care For Your Finish:
The way you care for your finish depends largely on what kind of use the item will receive, and what your objective is that you want a product to help with (e.g. for dusting, or for scratch protection). Wax and oil polish treatments can be beneficial to furniture, by improving shine and scratch resistance. They also make cleaning and dusting easier. Unfortunately, makers of these products often make ridiculous claims about what their product will do. The most common of these bogus claims made are by products that claim to be "finish feeders," or say the product "feeds and nourishes" wood or finish. The claims of feeding & nourishing make the using of a particular brand sound more urgent and necessary, and also encourages more frequent use so you will need to keep buying more of it. The fact is, the purpose of a finish is to seal the wood so that nothing can penetrate it, and this is how you want it. The wood under the finish is very dry, and this is also as it should be. Don't confuse the shine that a product adds and believe there is any feeding and nourishing involved. The oil or wax provides a thin barrier that gives you scratch protection, and usually improves the shine. That is all it can do. Keeping your furniture away from strong light and physical abuse is the most important thing you can do to protect your furniture.
Things to Avoid:
Strong light, especially sunlight
Strong light causes colors to fade, and will cause finish deterioration faster.
No finish is scratch proof. Glass is not scratch proof and there is no finish harder than glass. Avoid behavior of usage that will scratch the finish.
Certain Solvents such as nail polish remover can seriously damage a finish on contact.
If left against a finish directly or contained in its wrapping material will cause damage similar to nail polish remover
Plastic Materials
Plastic tablecloths and placemats are fine to use if they are removed after use. If left in place for an extended period of days the plastic material may begin to react with the finish, causing damage. Vinyl covered books can do the same thing.
Heat and Steam
Place nothing from the stove or microwave on the finish except raised above it on trivets, or with the protection of heavy duty custom table pads. Heat and steam can penetrate hot pads, tablecloths or towels, so these are not always adequate protections. Do not place hot pizza in the carry- out box, or paper plates with hot food on them against the finish for the same reason.
Back to top of page
Different Product Categories:
Use no product
This is certainly the first way to consider, especially if it is an item we just refinished for you or it is a new piece that you own and have not used anything on it yet. If the item is not subject to heavy use where the added scratch protection of a polish or wax might help, then your care duties can be made simple Use a very lightly damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth for dusting. Use a little mild soap like Ivory liquid with water to remove fingerprints and other grime. Always wipe dry. We can recommend this method for the furniture that we refinish because we apply several coats of our finish, and it is a very moisture resistant coating. This would work as well on many other newer furniture finishes, but you should always find out what the manufacturer recommends. Some finishes may be sensitive to water and this method should not be used. This method would not be advised on any older finishes or antiques with original finishes.

Despite decades of research on the bacterium that causes tuberculosis (TB), scientists have not had a comprehensive understanding of how the bacterium is wired to adapt to changing conditions in the host. Now, researchers at Stanford University, Seattle BioMed, Boston University and the Broad Institute, Max Planck Institute of Biology in Berlin, Germany, Caprion Proteomics Inc. in Montreal, Canada, Brigham and Woman's Hospital (Harvard University), and Colorado State University have taken the first steps toward a complete representation of the regulatory network for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This map of the network of genes that control the TB bacterium will yield unique insights into how the bacteria survive in the host, and how they can be tackled with new drug interventions. The landmark results are published this week in the journal Nature.
The burden of tuberculosis
One third of the world's population is latently infected with TB, harboring the bacteria in a dormant form in the lungs. In 2011 alone, 8.7 million people fell ill with the active form of TB, and 1.4 million died.
For hundreds of years, people have associated reduced oxygen tension with the control of TB. Artificially collapsing an infected lung using a pneumothorax device, or inserting golf ball-sized items into the pleural cavity, were common ways to treat the disease before the rise of antibiotics. Despite the prevalence of these treatment methods, the bacteria appeared to survive in the host, even in hypoxic environments.
"We needed a window into how tuberculosis adapts to change, whether that is a lack of oxygen or a new drug," explains David Sherman, Ph.D., a lead researcher from Seattle BioMed. "In order to do that, we needed to understand how TB is wiredhow its genes and the molecules that regulate them are relatedso we can see how it changes its behavior depending on the environment."

You can use a gps device (like an iphone or handheld garmin etc) to create a gps track. I uses 'trails' on the iphone but there are several apps that offer the functionality. Set it going then stick it in your pocket.
Wander around taking your photos as normal.
Export the .gpx gps file from your gps device onto your Mac. Copy your photos to a temp folder (not straight into iPhoto). Use something like GPSLinker which matches the timestamp on your photos to the timestamp from your GPS track and applies the location data to the exif data on your photos. Voila! Geotagged photos
Now import those photos from the temp folder into iPhoto and delete the temp folder.
I've made it sound much more complex than it really is. Once you've done it once you'll see how easy it is. If you have 10+ photos it's much quicker and accurate than 'hand-tagging' photos in iPhoto.

Couldn't find anywhere else to stick this. This is parts 1-6 of my trip across the world on a Tiger 1050. Warning: there is swearing and each episode is 25 minutes long. Hope you enjoy :)

Thanks for sharing, I had found the first 5 shows on Youtube and was waiting for the last one. Loved every minute of it......
Thanks soo much for sharing! Awesome!
Great Stuff!
Hi Steve,
Your timing for posting these videos could not have been better. I'm currently deployed in the middle east and was wishing I had some sort of motorcycle related adventure show to watch...low and behold, I log in to ADV and there are your vids! I'm only watching 1 episode per night as it gives me something to look forward to everyday...at least for the next 5 days :D Excellent work my friend. Thank you!
Just watched the films back to back. What an adventure. I hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I enjoyed watching it. Well done for choosing to do it on a British bike. Lets try not to be too hard on the orange bike riders.
Once again thanks for filming it editing it and putting here.
Cheers Glenn.:1drink
I watched all six back to back. Good stuff.
A few hours spent editing all that up I bet. What do you use to edit?
Cheers Bryce
Awesome!!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! It is currently -30 degrees here in Quebec and I have been dreaming about getting my Tiger back on the road. I HATE WINTER!!! This video will help me escape the cold/snow for a while.
Watched episode 1 tonight and loved it. Reminded me to set some goals and make some epic rides happen. Like you, I have supportive wife (and 4-year old) who will give me the opportunity to do something similar at some point. Will look forward to tuning in to the remaining episodes!
Just discovered this and am settling in to live/ride vicariously through you.
edit time
I used Sony Vegas to Edit, total time around 270 hours. I can now edit so quickly probably twice as fast as when I started. A lot of time wasted with some hardware problems, re-edits etc. still have to redo sound on Episodes 1 and 2 before transposing to DVD. Probably will be around 280 hours total for 5 hours video/sound. That works out 1 hours work for 1 minute video. Sounds about right.
Made me think .. someone said you only did it for free stuff. Well If I did I expect around $60,000 worth of free stuff :) Thats what I'd charge my customers. Do it for the hell of it!
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to make these. I am doing one a day to get me through work - at least for this week! :rofl
I just watched episode one Steve, oh how I miss the different voices from back in the UK!!! & hey you Jimmy, I can understand your accent!!!:lol3
I'm only up to episode 1, but you can be sure l'll be popping up after evry episode to make a comment!!!
OK,episode 2 under my belt, & what gorgeous scenery from Greece to Turkey & the Iranian border!!:clap
I see you & Ewan have a couple of things in common, no, maybe a few,accents, you both travel long distance on yer bikes,(albeit you travel alone!) & you both visited Cappadocia (?)
That balloon trip was fekin surreal mate!:clap
Great stuff Stevie ! Just finished your incredible trip on video !...j.f. [Scotland ya bam !]
:clap:clap:clap very neat, Thanks for the work of sharing. :clap:clap:clap

Nationality: Noun and adjective--Dominican (Dom-i-nee-can).
Population (1996): 74,900.
Annual growth rate: 0.4%.
Ethnic groups: Mainly African descent, some Carib Indians.
Religions: Roman Catholic (80%), Anglican, other Protestant denominations.
Languages: English (official); a French patois is widely spoken.
Education: Years compulsory--to age 14. Literacy--about 95%.
Health: Infant mortality rate--10/1,000. Life expectancy--71 yrs. (men); 74 yrs. (women).
Work force (1994): (30,600): Agriculture--37%. Services--30%. Commerce--20%. Unemployment--exceeds 20% (official 1994 figure--9.7%).
Almost all Dominicans are descendants of African slaves brought in by colonial planters in the 18th century. Dominica is the only island in the eastern Caribbean to retain some of its pre-Columbian population--the Carib Indians--about 3,000 of whom live on the island's east coast.
The population growth rate is very low, due primarily to emigration to more prosperous Caribbean Islands, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
English is the official language; however, because of historic French domination, the most widely spoken dialect is a French patois. About 80% of the population is Catholic. In recent years, a number of Protestant churches have been established.
The island's indigenous Arawak people were expelled or exterminated by Caribs in the 14th century. Columbus landed there in November 1493. Spanish ships frequently landed on Dominica during the 16th century, but fierce resistance by the Caribs discouraged Spain's efforts at settlement.
In 1635, France claimed Dominica. Shortly thereafter, French missionaries became the first European inhabitants of the island. Carib incursions continued, though, and in 1660, the French and British agreed that both Dominica and St. Vincent should be abandoned. Dominica was officially neutral for the next century, but the attraction of its resources remained; rival expeditions of British and French foresters were harvesting timber by the start of the 18th century.
Largely due to Dominica's position between Martinique and Guadeloupe, France eventually became predominant, and a French settlement was established and grew. As part of the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ended the seven years' war, the island became a British possession. In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, the French mounted a successful invasion with the active cooperation of the population, which was largely French. The 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the war, returned the island to Britain. French invasions in 1795 and 1805 ended in failure.
In 1763, the British established a legislative assembly, representing only the white population. In 1831, reflecting a liberalization of official British racial attitudes, the brown privilege bill conferred political and social rights on free nonwhites. Three Blacks were elected to the legislative assembly the following year. Following the abolition of slavery, in 1838 Dominica became the first and only British Caribbean colony to have a Black-controlled legislature in the 19th century. Most Black legislators were smallholders or merchants who held economic and social views diametrically opposed to the interests of the small, wealthy English planter class. Reacting to a perceived threat, the planters lobbied for more direct British rule.
In 1865, after much agitation and tension, the colonial office replaced the elective assembly with one comprised of one-half elected members and one-half appointed. The elected legislators were outmaneuvered on numerous occasions by planters allied with colonial administrators. In 1871, Dominica became part of the Leeward Island Federation. The power of the Black population progressively eroded. Crown Colony government was re-established in 1896. All political rights for the vast majority of the population were effectively curtailed. Development aid, offered as compensation for disenfranchisement, proved to have a negligible effect.
Following World War I, an upsurge of political consciousness throughout the Caribbean led to the formation of the representative government association. Marshaling public frustration with the lack of a voice in the governing of Dominica, this group won one-third of the popularly elected seats of the legislative assembly in 1924 and one-half in 1936. Shortly thereafter, Dominica was transferred from the Leeward Island Administration and was governed as part of the Windwards until 1958, when it joined the short-lived West Indies Federation.
After the federation dissolved, Dominica became an associated state of the United Kingdom in 1967 and formally took responsibility for its internal affairs. On November 3, 1978, the Commonwealth of Dominica was granted independence by the United Kingdom.
Independence did little to solve problems stemming from centuries of economic underdevelopment, and in mid-1979, political discontent led to the formation of an interim government. It was replaced after the 1980 elections by a government led by the Dominica Freedom Party under Prime Minister Eugenia Charles, the Caribbean's first female prime minister. Chronic economic problems were compounded by the severe impact of hurricanes in 1979 and in 1980. By the end of the 1980's, the economy had made a healthy recovery, which weakened in the 1990's due to a decrease in banana prices.
In June 1995 elections, Edison James, leader of the United Workers Party, became Prime Minister, replacing Dame Eugenia Charles.
Dominica has a Westminster-style parliamentary government, and there are three political parties: The Dominica United Workers Party (the majority party), the Dominica Labor Party, and the Dominica Freedom Party. A president and prime minister make up the executive branch. Nominated by the prime minister in consultation with the leader of the opposition party, the president is elected for a five-year term by the parliament. The president appoints as prime minister the leader of the majority party in the parliament and also appoints, on the prime minister's recommendation, members of the parliament from the ruling party as cabinet ministers. The prime minister and cabinet are responsible to the parliament and can be removed on a no-confidence vote.
The unicameral parliament, called the House of Assembly, is composed of 21 regional representatives and nine senators. The regional representatives are elected by universal suffrage and, in turn, decide whether senators are to be elected or appointed. If appointed, five are chosen by the president with the advice of the prime minister and four with the advice of the opposition leader. If elected, it is by vote of the regional representatives. Elections for representatives and senators must be held at least every five years, although the prime minister can call elections any time.
Dominica's legal system is based on English common law. There are three magistrate's courts, with appeals made to the Eastern Caribbean court of appeal and, ultimately, to the Privy Council in London.
Councils elected by universal suffrage govern most towns. Supported largely by property taxation, the councils are responsible for the regulation of markets and sanitation and the maintenance of secondary roads and other municipal amenities. The island is also divided into 10 parishes, whose governance is unrelated to the town governments.

Like its Eastern Caribbean neighbors, the main priority of Dominica's foreign relations is economic development. The country maintains missions in Washington, New York, London, and Brussels and is represented jointly with other organization of Eastern Caribbean states (OECS) members in Canada. Dominica is also a member of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), and the British Commonwealth. It became a member of the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1978 and of the World Bank and Organization of American States (OAS) in 1979.
As a member of CARICOM, in July 1994 Dominica strongly backed efforts by the United States to implement UN Security Council Resolution 940, designed to facilitate the departure of Haiti's de facto authorities from power. The country agreed to contribute personnel to the multinational force, which restored the democratically elected government of Haiti in October 1994.
In May 1997, Prime Minister James joined 14 other Caribbean leaders, and President Clinton, during the first-ever U.S.-regional summit in Bridgetown, Barbados. The summit strengthened the basis for regional cooperation on justice and counternarcotics issues, finance and development, and trade.
The United States and Dominica have friendly bilateral relations. The United States supports the Dominican Government's efforts to expand its economic base and to provide a higher standard of living for its citizens. Following the closure in July 1996 of USAID's Eastern Caribbean regional office, U.S. assistance is primarily channeled through multilateral agencies such as the Inter-American Development Bank, the World Bank, and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). Technical assistance is also provided by the Peace Corps, which has about 20 volunteers in Dominica, working primarily in education, youth development, and health.
In addition, the United States and Dominica work together in the battle against illegal drugs. Dominica cooperates with U.S. agencies and participates in counternarcotics programs in an effort to curb narco-trafficking and marijuana cultivation. In 1995, the Dominican Government signed a maritime law enforcement agreement with the U.S. to strengthen counternarcotics coordination, and in 1996, the government signed mutual legal assistance and extradition treaties to enhance joint efforts in combating international crime.
As a popular tourist destination for Americans, Dominica had nearly 188,000 cruise ship passenger arrivals in 1996, the majority of whom were U.S. citizens. In addition, there were more than 13,500 other U.S. visitors in 1996. It is estimated that 4,500 Americans reside in the country.

"Alison Wenstrup of Aviva events is a such a wonderful planner! My mother and I met with Alison originally to help with day of activities (I had done most of the planning to that point). She became so much more than that. Leading up to the wedding she assured me everything would be taken care of and it was! Anything I needed I could consider it done. I was traveling before my wedding and did not have to worry about the last minute details. She really puts your mind at ease and lets everything fall into place so you can enjoy your special day!"

Your humble blogger returns after surviving a cross-country trip to ol' New York on "vacation". Vacation is in quotes because, well, I need one now that I'm back.
On to business!
While I was out, J. Nicholas Hoover of InformationWeek published a "Top Seven" (Letterman fans unite) on Windows Vista features that need a little help from Windows Server "Longhorn" to light up:
Seven Windows Vista Features That Depend On Longhorn Server
This is pretty cool because it highlights things like:
The article (in the short space of 985 words) does generalize a bit. Like the comment that NAP for XP doesn't necessarily "interoperate with some popular enforcement mechanisms and won't work without Longhorn." So, it's important to check out the links I provided above for some additional, deeper details on these technologies and features.
Going back to my example, NAP "technically" only requires a single WinServer "Longhorn" server running the Network Policy Server (NPS) role. You'd likely have a few more of these around for fault tolerance and to scale out across large networks. Secondly, we're doing a lot to ensure the XP NAP add-on client will provide a good deal of parity to the built-in client for Windows Vista.
One other reference that is worth a deeper review is related to the work we've done with Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS). Hoover generalizes about how "Longhorn will assign priority and bandwidth limits to applications on a network" and that it only works "if there's a Vista client on the other end."
Well, that's mostly true.
Here's the scoop. Yes, we now have mechanisms within Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn" to provide centralized management of QoS policies. We call that bit Policy-based QoS. As the link above details, this provides a means to "stamp" outgoing packets with a DiffServ (DSCP) value (one of them Internet standards) so your routing fabric knows how to manage the priority of this traffic using it's existing QoS queues. For this "stamping" to occur, the host needs to be either a Windows Vista client or a Windows Server "Longhorn" server (no current plans for down-level support). If the host on the other end is not one of these (or even Windows) this will have no impact on the QoS policy. The routers just need to support DSCP (which is quite common since this was outlined in RFC 2474 in 1998).
As for the bandwidth throttling, this do not require a specific host or router/switch on the other end either. The client (or server) will simply slow the pace based on the policy created (see below for an example) for the application or network address/port/service you define.
There are a bunch of other things we do to improve network performance and scalability that improve even further when you have Windows Vista on the client and Windows Server "Longhorn" on the back end. Check out the webcast I did back in October 2006 that covers off these "better together" networking scenarios.
Overall, it is super cool to have these numerous networking features highlighted in this top seven list. Thanks Nick! I just wanted to make sure you had all the details at your disposal.
