orange vanilla ice cream
Recently I got experimental in pursuit of orange/vanilla bean ice cream but the end product was missing some of the orangey zing I was going for. I'm wondering if anyone out there knows a good recipe.
My own experiment was a basic vanilla custard: 3 cups heavy whipping cream, 3 cups whole milk, 1 cup evaporated cane sugar processed fine, 2 vanilla beans, zest of 6 small not-so-fragrant navels (the only variety I could find locally) and 10 whole allspice seeds. Yeah, I got carried away with the allspice. I steeped the vanilla and orange zest over low heat for about 20 minutes before ramping up the heat and bringing the concoction to a steam, then added it to 8 yolks. I then whisked in a shot (1.5 oz) of Grand Marnier and strained out the allspice, zest and seeded vanilla pods and into a metal bowl sitting in an icewater bath. Chilled, churned and froze.
The end result was quite tasty, but thanks to the heavy dose of Allspice it turned out as more of a light and mildly orangey nog. I whipped up a quick blood orange vinegar reduction syrup, which sliced cut through the nog note pretty well, and the taste of orange became more pronounced after setting the ice cream in the freezer. But even so, the orange flavor was pretty mild.
I like playing with my spices and would like to add a little kick of something to make it unique. Thinking maybe next time I'll hit it with a small dose of fresh-ground cardamom. Hopefully that will be more of a complement to the orange. But I still want to amp up the orangey taste a bit. A smidge of orange blossom honey, maybe?
Any suggestions are welcome.
If you're looking for the orange juice brightness, you need to add orange juice to your ice cream base. The zest alone won't give you that "zing". There's an orange popsicle recipe (because Creamsicle is trademarked) in The Perfect Scoop. 1 1/4 c. OJ, 1 c. sour cream, 1/2 c. half and half, 2/3 c. sugar, zest of 3 oranges, and 2 tsp Grand Marnier.
I've made it, and it's like a fresh version of creamsicle ice cream. My next round I might try 1 c. half and half and 1/2 c. sour cream, though.
re: leanneabe
Good to know. I had shied from using orange juice for fear of curdle.
re: Scriever
Orange extract?
re: Scriever
Orange juice won't curdle when used in concentrate form with a different sort of cream bas: check out the Ben and Jerry orange dream cream recipe. It is very good if you are not freaked out by uncooked eggs.

Blinn Takes Over the Capital
By Andrew White
My alarm is screaming at me; the bright lights penetrate the darkness as I search for an absolution from the torment. I fumble about eventually stopping the infernal noise and lights and begin my daily preparations. By the time I haul my sorry carcass to the Student Center it is 6:27a.m. I search the Atrium, noting all my fellow students, some in dresses, others in suits, but their situation is like mine: they would rather be in bed. However, by 2 p.m. we would all know that it was worth it to leave.
On Tuesday February, 5, a group of students from Blinn College Brenham went to Austin for the Fifth Annual Community College Day. Also attending were groups from Blinn Bryan and Brazos and hundreds more like the students from Blinn.
"It was pleasing," said Blinn sophomore Victoria Arriaga. "There was an overwhelming amount of students representing their respective community colleges."
The proceedings began at 10 a.m. with a welcome by various people, including state senators, representatives, and the Texas Junior College Student Government Association. All speakers welcomed the crowd and gave words of encouragement. They also let us know that we are the future and that it is time for us to seize our destiny.
"It was neat to hear the representatives and senators talk," Said Blinn freshmen Amanda Borys. "It was also neat to learn how many of these state officials began their education at a junior college or community college."
One of the main points of the day was the argument over a concealed handgun license rule that would allow colleges to either allow or deny the possession of concealed firearms on school grounds.
"They (the state government) should let the schools decide whether or not to let students carry a weapon," said Arriaga. "They are the ones who know how best to protect their students." Others did not share the same view point as Ms. Arriaga. "While it has a noble goal," said Borys, "we have a campus security force to handle our defense, and it should be left to them."
After the morning welcome the students were free to roam the capitol and take in the sights and sounds of the state government. The majesty of the capitol building was overwhelming, and most people stared straight up at the dome and the seal of Texas.
"The Capitol was amazing," said Borys. "The architecture, the art, the history is all just overwhelming and awe-inspiring."
After enjoying their free time and lunch, the Blinn students were given a special treat a meeting with a State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst from Brenham. It was at this time the students were given the chance to ask questions of Rep. Kolkhorst. The students did not waste this opportunity as they were able to pick the brain of our local representative.
"It was such an honor to meet her," said Boyrs. "She is a woman in a male-dominated field, and not only does she meet the challenges of her field, she rises above it. Washington county could not ask for a better representative."
Rep. Kolkhorst delighted the students in her office with tales, and she stressed that we all need to pitch in and help and that even though we may have our differences, we must learn to work together.

200-Hour Nosara Yoga Teacher Training®
2015 - 2016 Dates:
• Directed personally by Amba Stapleton, and Don Stapleton PhD., Co-founders and Co-directors of the Nosara Yoga Institute. Meet the Directors here: Don Stapleton and Amba Stapleton
Taught in a non-authoritarian environment, this training guides you step-by-step through the process of discovering your own unique expression and style of yoga, supporting you as you come to know the teacher already within you.
In this month-long yoga teacher training immersion, you will:
In this 200-hour yoga teacher training, you will learn two distinct but complementary forms of yoga postures and flows: the Nosara Yoga Vinyasa and Nosara Self-Awakening Yoga Therapeutics.
Self-Awakening Yoga Therapeutics Flow®: Created by Don Stapleton PhD., this practice was born from his studies in creativity and human development, his personal dedication to yoga practice and his ongoing inquiry into the foundations of movement throughout the developmental cycle—beginning in-utero and continuing through adulthood. You'll explore the movements presented in his book that facilitate health and fitness, while also introducing yoga as a creative learning process and an expansion of consciousness. Self-Awakening Yoga unlocks the body's natural intelligence by stimulating the primal impulse to move towards balance and healing. Practitioners can recover freedom of movement, release emotional trauma, and unleash their full spiritual and physical potential to re-balance and integrating the whole self.
What Topics Are Covered in the 200-Hour Curriculum?
Asana Technique: At the heart of every yoga posture is the ability to stand on one's own two feet. With this understanding we study the Standing Mountain Pose (Tadasana) in-depth, covering both Eastern and Western alignment principles. Expanding upon this foundation, we then explore the 36 postures that make up the Nosara Yoga Vinyasa®.
Movement Inquiries: These therapeutic movements that comprise the core of Self-Awakening Yoga therapeutics, are a gift from the natural wisdom of your body. They can assist both beginners and advanced practitioners to move beyond the boundaries of classical yoga postures, and have a direct experience of prana, or energy.
Pranayama & Bandhas: We will study and practice the seven most powerful pranayama techniques that have the potential to create a shift in consciousness when integrated into a well-balanced yoga practice. The bandhas (or energetic locks) will also be explored, as a tool to support and align the body during posture practice in the most efficient and relaxed way possible.
Two Vinyasa Practices: You will learn both a vigorous vinyasa, and a therapeutic vinyasa flow. From this balanced foundation, you will learn how to design your own vinyasa practices, creating a teaching style that is unique to you, while supporting the diverse needs of your students.
Chanting: Drawn from his personal practice, Don leads simple chants inspired by the Bija Mantras—basic syllables that make up the elements of speech and sound. The repetition of these "seed" sounds helps the mind focus, and calms and tones the nervous system. A powerful component of a multidimensional yoga practice, chanting is often reported by our students to be one of their favorite aspects of this training—even by those who previously avoided singing.
Meditation: All Nosara Yoga classes end with a 10-minute meditation combined with "spinal cord breathing". As you develop through your own personal meditation practice, you will be able to draw from your own inspiration to provide meditation for experiences for your students.
Yoga Philosophy: The study of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras creates the philosophical framework of our 200-hour training. In particular, the first four verses guide our inquiry into the process of learning through our own yoga practice, and shed light on what it means to be a yogi in the 21st century.
Conscious Communication Skills: As a yoga teacher, you are modeling awareness in everything you say and do. By bringing consciousness into your self-expression and communication, you will gain the skillfulness required to partner with each of your students in their unique journey towards self-discovery. We don't have to be perfect—we are human beings inventing new ways of being together on the planet at this time.
What Else Occurs During Yoga Teacher Training?
Satsanga: Every Friday night during the month, we gather together for Satsanga. "Sat," means, "the truth that awakens from within". "Sanga" is, "to be in the company of." Together, Satsanga describes the practice of being in the company of individuals willing to share the journey of self-discovery. During this time, we share the stories of our personal learning as it occurs throughout this training. Satsanga is a great way to check in with each other and create community. It is a tool you may find useful to share in your own yoga community when you return home.
Practice Teach: Practice teaching begins on day one of this training. Our teaching methodology provides small, digestible steps along the way, culminating in a 90-minute teaching experience with your fellow students at the end of the month. Any of our previous 3,500 graduates will attest that this experience was enjoyable, powerful, and fun. To hear for yourself, visit http://www.nosarayoga.com/alumni. Type in any state or country, and contact one of these teachers to ask them how their Practice Teach experience was.
Why A 4-Week Yoga Teacher Training?
It takes the time it takes for the teacher-to-be to embody the practices presented, to find her/his own unique voice, and to teach from her/his own experience. This requires, at minimum, one month in a daily schedule that allows for all aspects of the teacher-to-be to develop self-confidence and to become rooted in one's own inner wisdom.
Our Daily Schedule: We believe that Yoga is a lifestyle as much as it is an exercise, and a modality for developing psycho-spiritual balance. Because sleep is as important as the postures, we end each day at 9 pm. We rise at 5 am to the sounds of birds and monkeys, synchronizing our personal rhythms with the circadian rhythms of the Planet.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- October 21, 1998 -- URI Journalism Professor Linda
Lotridge Levin of the East side of Providence and 17 of her students
shed some light on access to public records in Rhode Island earlier this
For their efforts, the Society of Professional Journalists, will present
Levin with a Sunshine Award next month at its Freedom of Information Conference
in Nashville, Tenn.
The award recognizes extraordinarily strong efforts to preserve and strengthen
the First Amendment.
The award is given for the joint URI and Brown University project "Access
to Public Records "
The URI class, in cooperation with a Brown University faculty member
and students, audited all 39 towns and cities in the state to see just how
"public" public records actually were. The project raised questions
about the public's access to police records.
In the wake of the public debate, some police departments, including
the State Police, changed the way they deal with public.
The study also influenced the legislation crafted by the state's General
Assembly, which amended access to public records and open meeting laws.
Levin, who was going to the national conference as the state's freedom
of information representative for the society, will accept the award.

NVIDIA drivers with Red Hat Linux/Fedora Core
There are two main methods of installing NVIDIA drivers with Red Hat Linux/Fedora Core:
1. Download and install the drivers directly from NVIDIA.
2. Install NVIDIA driver RPM packages maintained by
Of the two methods, I recommend the former. The NVIDIA installation tool is straightforward, and I personally do not use either of the package repositories listed above. However, you may wish to read
Why switch to livna.org's Nvidia driver RPM?
for benefits of installing NVIDIA drivers by package.
Instructions on installing the drivers directly from NVIDIA are covered below, along with an example of installing NVIDIA driver RPM packages from Livna.org for Fedora Core 1.
Installing drivers from NVIDIA
NVIDIA Linux drivers may be downloaded at
The drivers cannot be installed within an X Window System session, so exit out of KDE/GNOME or your preferred window manager before installing the drivers.
To install the drivers, execute the self-extracting package as the root user. Example:
# sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run
After installing the drivers, modify
(Fedora Core 2 and later users) or
(Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core 1 users) using the changes detailed in
If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver
(such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find
the relevant Device section and
replace the line
Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section,
make sure you have
Load "glx"
You should also
remove the following lines
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
To see if you are running the latest NVIDIA driver, run the following command as root:
nvidia-installer --latest
To update your NVIDIA driver to the latest version, run the following command as root (an X server must not be running):
nvidia-installer --update
Determining NVIDIA driver version:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
Determining NVIDIA card capabilities:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/host-bridge
Displaying NVIDIA card status:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Upgrading NVIDIA drivers/installing NVIDIA drivers for an alternate kernel
If the NVIDIA drivers are already installed and you install a new version of the kernel, the NVIDIA kernel module has to be installed in the appropriate
directory for use by the new kernel.
If you are already have the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers installed (confirm with
nvidia-installer --latest
) and want to install the NVIDIA kernel module for use by your current kernel, use the following instructions:
1. Run
nvidia-installer --ui=none --latest
to determine the URL of the latest NVIDIA driver package.
/usr/bin/nvidia-installer --ui=none --latest
Welcome to the NVIDIA Software Installer for Unix/Linux
Currently installed version: 1.0-7676; latest available version: 1.0-7676;
latest driver file:
2. Retrieve the NVIDIA driver package.
wget ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7676/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-
3. Install the NVIDIA kernel module for use by the currently running kernel.
# sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7676-pkg1.run --accept-license --no-questions --kernel-name=`uname -r` --kernel-module-only --ui=none
If you would like to install the NVIDIA kernel module for use with an arbitrary kernel, substitute the kernel name instead of
`uname -r
above. You may generate a list of valid kernels with
rpm -q kernel | cut -c8-
If you do not have the latest version of the NVIDIA drivers installed (confirm with
nvidia-installer --latest
) and want to install the NVIDIA kernel module for use by your current kernel, run
nvidia-installer --update
Fedora Core 2 instructions (deprecated)
Update: version 6106 of the NVIDIA drivers supports the "4kstacks" kernel provided with Fedora Core 2. There is no need to download the
custom kernel when using this version (or later) of the NVIDIA drivers.
The kernel supplied with Fedora Core 2 (2.6.5-1.358) does not work with version 1.0-5336 of the NVIDIA drivers. As a workaround, you may install a custom kernel from
that works with the NVIDIA drivers.
1. Download the custom kernel.
2. Uncompress the custom kernel archive.
unzip kernel-2.6.5-1.358.8kstacks.i686.rpm.zip
3. Install the custom kernel (the
flag will not overwrite your current kernel).
rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.5-1.358.8kstacks.i686.rpm
Boot into your new "8kstacks" kernel, and install the NVIDIA drivers as detailed above.
Installing NVIDIA driver RPM packages
In this example, NVIDIA driver RPMs from Livna.org are installed for Fedora Core 1 via
1. Add the following entries to
name=Livna.org Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
baseurl= http://rpm.livna.org/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable
2. Import the Livna.org GPG key in order to verify the digitally signed NVIDIA RPM packages.
rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
3. Install the NVIDIA driver RPM and dependencies.
yum -y install kernel-module-nvidia-`uname -r`
4. Modify
to use the NVIDIA driver.
/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-xfree86 enable
Restart the X Window System to use the NVIDIA driver.

Post 423 enters break with loss to Caldwell
If Post 423 played hand grenades or horse shoes, instead of baseball, they would sit near the top of Area IV. Instead, after three straight losses by a combined six runs, Rutherford County now sits at 2-4 heading into a long 15-day break.
Post 423's latest setback came at the hands of Caldwell Count at McNair Field Sunday night. Post 29 held an 8-3 lead going into the bottom of the ninth and then withstood a four run Rutherford County rally to take the 8-7 win.
"I don't have much to say about the game except we have to play better," said coach Sam Hooper. "We aren't hitting the ball right now and that has that needs to improve. As for the close games that's just a part of baseball. I don't think there is any specific reason you can point to (for the losses). It is what it is. We are just going to hope things turn around in the second half."
Post 423 will certainly have time to prepare for that second half as they will not see action again until June 18 at Caldwell.
"It's a busy time for the players with graduation and other things," said Hooper. "They deserve a break and we could really use the time to help with injuries and getting some rest. Will Odom should be back and that will help our offense."
Post 423 will need that rest as they have 10 games in 13 days to close out the regular season.
"Legion ball is a tough grind and this is the toughest part of the season coming up after the season," said Hooper. "We need to come back well rested and ready to play. If we do that, I think we can turn things around."
Rutherford County returns home Saturday, June 22, as they play host to Cherryville Post 100.

Bullying | News
A New Jersey school district has deployed a new Web-based incident reporting platform to comply with requirements of the state's anti-bullying law, which was enacted last year.
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act, which was signed into law on Jan. 5, 2011, created "standards and procedures for preventing, reporting, investigating and responding to incidents of harassment, intimidation, and bullying of students that occur on school grounds and off school grounds under specified circumstances."
Freehold Borough School District has selected TIPS, a platform developed by Awareity. TIPS, which stands for threat assessment, incident management, and prevention services, allows Freehold faculty, students, parents, and visitors to report incident and location online. Those people reporting incidents can choose to make reports anonymously or not. Alerts are then forwarded to the school's threat assessment team so the appropriate action can be taken.
TIPS also generates real-time documentation that can be used for audits, accreditations, and analysis. Types of available reports, such as prevention, receipt, acknowledgment, response, historic, and compliance, can be stored in the Awareness & Accountability Vault.
"TIPS is helping our school administrators become more aware of student safety incidents and concerning behaviors within our schools. When a report comes in through TIPS, principals can immediately investigate the incident, confirm its validity and take the necessary steps towards intervention and response," said Michael D'anna, the district's anti-bullying coordinator.
Freehold Borough School District in Monmouth Countyserves more than 1,000 students in grades K-8 with 100 teachers. The districts three schools include the Freehold Learning Center, Park Avenue Elementary School, and Freehold Intermediate School.

Darrell Hazell wasn't hired to be a status quo guy. He's a Purdue football coach on a change-and-championship mission, and if that means thinking outside the box, so be it.
In an era of coaching paranoia, when practices are secured tighter than a papal Mass, and tweeting spectators are treated with the warmth of a dinner guest arriving with leprosy, the Boilers will have open preseason training camp workouts. Fans can be there. So can the media. And if they want to tweet, go ahead.
It starts Saturday.
One of Hazell's goals is to reconnect with the Boiler fan base, to grow it if he can. He wants to generate a buzz, and while secrecy might work at, say, Alabama, it's a hindrance at a program that struggled to get Ross-Ade Stadium half full last season.
But that's window dressing for the main agenda, which is to get the program back to the Big Ten forefront it enjoyed a decade ago under Joe Tiller.
"We have a coaching staff with the vision to change Purdue football to where it needs to be," Hazell said.
"One of the first things I said to our team in that very first meeting, was that Purdue was always a team that was perceived in the middle of the Big Ten. I told them it's going to take a lot of work, but we're going to climb out of the middle. We're going to put this program on national prominence for a long time."
Hazell took over for Danny Hope and inherited a roster full of speed and talent, although last year's 6-7 record didn't capitalize on it. So Hope was out last November, Hazell was brought in last December and the Rose Bowl standard was instantly set. The Boilers likely won't make it this season, but the goal is there.
"It all starts with your self-image," Hazell said. "How we see ourselves. If you don't see yourself as a champion, no one else is going to. Then you have to put in the work."
The Boilers have a lot of work to do given they ranked eighth in scoring offense, 10th in scoring and pass defense, and 11th in total defense last season. They committed two more turnovers than they forced.
"We want to change our image," Hazell said. "We want to be a tougher team. We want to be a smarter team and play with greater discipline.
"Turning the ball over is probably the No. 1 component to losing. Everybody on our team is responsible for that, from the quarterbacks to the offensive line to the running backs to the defensive backs who pick balls off.
"We have a great responsibility to Purdue football to take care of the ball. That's one of the keys to turning this program around."
The biggest question entering camp involves who will be the starting quarterback. Fifth-year senior Rob Henry has the experience edge and goes in No. 1 on the depth chart. He was the third-string quarterback last year and completed 55.3 percent of his passes for 216 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.
His biggest competition is freshman Danny Etling, who showed promise last spring. He graduated from high school in Terre Haute last December so he could get a jump on his college preparation. Redshirt freshman Austin Appleby also is in the mix.
"We have a nice quarterback battle going on," Hazell said. "We'll give them equal reps. One guy will run with the 1s in one group in one drill. The next drill the other guy will run with the 1s.
"In about two weeks after we start practice, we'll make a decision and have that guy have ownership of our team going into the first game."
What will factor into the decision?
"The No. 1 component is to take care of the ball. No. 2 is to get us in the right place. No. 3 is to be tough enough to stand in there on third-and-5, and take a shot.
"And we need a big play."

Brussels, Belgium, Thursday, June 13, 1996, 12:35 p.m. (EDT)
Press Theater, NATO Headquarters, Brussels, Belgium regarding the Defense Ministerial and the expansion of NATO.
Secretary Perry: Thank you, Ken. President John F. Kennedy once said, "Change is the law of life. Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."
Nineteen ninety-six has a been a year of truly historic change for NATO and these changes do look to the future and the future of NATO is bright. NATO will be stronger and more united. In meeting today, we welcomed the participation of Charles Millon, the Defense Minister of France. NATO will be larger. Expansion is moving along as planned. NATO will continue to expand its zone of stability through the Partnership for Peace. Tomorrow we will be meeting with the defense ministers of the Partner nations to discuss joint activities with these partners. NATO will build a special relationship with Russia. Tomorrow we are meeting in a 16+1 meeting the Russian Minister of Defense Grachev. In the meantime, we have been operating shoulder to shoulder with Russian troops in Bosnia and we're working very effectively with Russia in nuclear disarmament.
NATO will be more flexible. We directed the North Atlantic Council to refine arrangements for the combined joint task forces in the new European security and defense identity. NATO will continue to be a trans-Atlantic alliance. The United States cannot be secure if Europe is not secure and so the United States will continue to play a leading role in NATO.
We have no change, however, in NATO more significant than the creation of IFOR. IFOR is the first major military operation in NATO. It has been an outstanding success. It's demonstrated the ability of the NATO nations to operate with solidarity, and it has demonstrated the value of years of effort in forming the command structure, and training and exercising together, and building common doctrine and standards.
IFOR was established by NATO to carry out the military aspects of the Dayton Agreement. It's halfway through its deployment which will end on December the 20th, as called for in the Dayton Agreement.
I have said already that I believe that IFOR is doing a magnificent job, but I also would point out that it faces substantial challenges in the months ahead; maintaining freedom of movement so that the elections and the refugee resettlement can be carried out adequately. I fully expect that IFOR will complete this mission on schedule at the end of the year. And, I expect it will be a successful mission and that the major draw down of forces will begin about December the 20th.
Many people have raised the question what will happen in Bosnia in 1997? Is there a danger of the war restarting after IFOR leaves? I want to emphasize that, at this meeting, we did not discuss that issue. Indeed, any talk of the structuring of NATO forces in '97 is not only premature but speculative. My own view is that it is unlikely that a war would restart in 1997 because the parties are tired of war. They would not have come to the peace agreement except that they were tired of war, and that the correlation of forces is very different from what it was when the war started years ago.
In any event, the deterrence to that war restarting, implicit in NATO, air is very powerful. All of the former warring factions have had very vivid examples of the capability and effectiveness of NATO air strikes.
Last December when we had our meeting here and then earlier in the year 1996, many people were raising the question, 'what will happen when NATO goes in to Bosnia?' Many people were suggesting that it would meet fierce resistance from the warring factions. NATO entered without fierce resistance, rapidly took control in the country, and, early this year, the questions changed. It's 'what will happen when the spring comes? Will there not be again a resurgence of the war that we have seen every spring for the last five years?'
I think now it is absolutely clear that NATO has broken the cycle of spring offenses that has existed for five years in Bosnia. Bosnia is enjoying the first peaceful spring in five years. Today, you can go Sarajevo, in Mostar and see people sipping coffee in the sidewalk cafes. I'm ready to take questions.
Q: Dr. Perry, I'd like to ask, do you feel that the U.S. role and influence in NATO will diminish somewhat or any with the changes planned in the military structure? And would the United States be willing for a Deputy SACEUR, a European officer, to take control of any European only operations in NATO without answering the U.S. SACEUR?
A: I think the clear lesson from Bosnia is that NATO is a trans-Atlantic alliance and it operates best when we're all together. And, I hope everybody on both sides of the Atlantic has learned that lesson and that NATO continues to operate together on all of its major missions in the future.
The security of Europe is critical to the security of the United States. It's also true that America's involvement in Europe is critical to the security of Europe. I fully expect the United States to be fully, totally engaged in NATO and in European security as far ahead as I can see.
The other question had to do with the --
Q: Sir, in European-only operations, would you be willing for a Deputy SACEUR, a European officer, to take control of such operations without answering to the U.S. SACEUR?
A: I have only, have one strong requirement -- one strong condition -- on any of the restructuring of command structure that's being considered, and that is there has to be a unified command, a single line of command. That is absolutely essential. Within that very important constraint, then, we can consider proposals for changing the structure.
Q: Can you tell me though, from the SACEUR down?
A: Yes.
Q: Thank you. Your Excellency, will this special relationship with Russia, would it be established under a protocol base or a charter as Chancellor Kohl proposed in Berlin? And, if so, could you cite some of the principles of this charter if this is the case? Thank you?
A: Could you repeat the question, I didn't understand it?
Q: Yes, sorry. You said in your speech about a special relationship with Russia. I would like to know if this special relationship will be established under a protocol base or a charter and if so, could you say some of the principles of this charter?
A: Thank you. We have today, NATO has today a special relationship with Russia. It is manifested in the operation that we have going on in Bosnia and it includes Russian officers at SHAPE Headquarters in Mons. There's a team of Russian officers working there. And, we have discussed the possibility of making an institutional arrangement. It's based on this special arrangement that's already been established in Bosnia.
In other words, using the working arrangement that has been established for Bosnia as a model in making a permanent institutional arrangement from that. That has not been decided yet, but that is one of the things we will discuss with the Russians in the months ahead.
Q: Secretary Perry, in your opinion, can free and fair elections be held in Bosnia without the detention of Radovan Karadzic?
A: Several comments about the elections in Bosnia. The first is that we have very clear inputs from a great majority of the Bosnian people that they want elections and that they believe fair elections can be held. I want to emphasize that point because if time, if you look at the fundamental issues here, we are trying to provide a security arrangement and a government of the people of Bosnia. Their opinion is a very important input on that.
Secondly, the election is three months away. We have much to do between now and then, not only in terms of the physical arrangements necessary for the elections but in terms of increasing the security, increasing the freedom of movement, all of which IFOR is working very hard on today; that is, all the security aspects of it IFOR is working very hard on today. I am confident that we will reach the conditions in September, which will make real elections possible, and it will be to the great benefit of the Bosnian people.
Q: Thank you. Mr. Secretary, George Fraiz, Hungarian News Agency. I wonder what's your assessment, how long will it take to complete the adaptation of the NATO structure? I put the question because Defense Minister Charles Millon said, during his press conference, that the enlargement of the NATO could be [inaudible] seriously just after, when the adaptation was finalized. I would be grateful if you could say that you share of this view or not?
A: That question is going to be considered seriously at the December meeting, the Minister's meeting, and it's premature for me to forecast what will come out of that. I would expect what would come out of that meeting is a clearer plan, a clearer schedule, a clearer course of action on moving forward on NATO expansion. But, it is up to the Ministers at that meeting to specify the sequence of actions and the schedule by which those will be held. I would not want to speculate at this time on what that schedule would be.
Q: When you speak about the unity of command, am I correct in understanding that whatever European operation within NATO, would be subject to SACEUR authority, is that correct?
A: The unity of command means unity of command, which means that any force, any military force, any military operation, has a single chain of command. We have discussed ways -- and the command in the NATO military authorities will be posing different ways -- of effecting operations separate from the overall NATO operations. They will have their own chain of command and it would be a unified chain of command.
Q: Dr. Perry, one of the reasons it's been quiet in Bosnia has been the strictly enforced zone of separation. Yet, in the long run, clearly it must go away. When do you see Bosnia reaching the point where it's no longer needed?
A: That's very difficult to forecast, Steve. The zone of separation has performed an invaluable function in separating the forces. That has been a key to the cease fire; that is, to the remarkably successful conduct of IFOR to this point, and to the Bosnian people being able to live in relative peace. It is very difficult to say when that will be -- when that could be dispensed with, but it is important to note that this is an inter- entity boundary line. It is not an international boundary and every day, literally every day, even today within this zone of separation, thousands of people cross back and forth over that inter-entity boundary line, and that has to do with the freedom of movement that we've been discussing.
Q: Would you envision it still being enforced once the IFOR mission is complete?
A: I envision that the, as I said, that it will be not become an international boundary and the people will be free to move back and forth across that boundary-line.
Q: Mr. Secretary, you mentioned that the success of IFOR to date. Has that success, in your mind, created a sense of unity among the 16 members needed to reach what may be a difficult decision this fall about the post-IFOR environment?
A: I think, without question, that the success of the IFOR operation both was a consequence of the solidarity, of the NATO nations and helped build solidarity. and it reinforced in all of our minds the importance of operating together at 16 and dealing with all important issues at 16. I believe that's going to influence our thinking in all future decisions we make, particularly any decision involving a major military operation.

Stonewall Cymru are inviting people from across Wales to take photos that represent all aspects of lesbian, gay and bisexual life in Wales as part of a 'Get in the Picture' project to create a free-access bank of images for organisations to use.
Ele Hicks, Projects and Policy Officer for Stonewall Cymru said: "For several years lesbian, gay and bisexual people have been telling us that images they see don't represent them. This project will challenge stereotypes by presenting the diversity of LGB people in Wales in photos"
She added: "Many organisations tell us they would like to include images of same sex couples, but can't find them anywhere. We are now gathering pictures together of all kinds to help organisations find and include them."
The project will start with a snaps being taken at Swansea Pride on 26th June and continue with volunteers taking photos at the National Eisteddfod and Cardiff Mardi Gras.
People can also submit their own photos to the image bank by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com

A new study by the Stanford Educational Leadership Institute reveals many commonalities of successful pre- and in-service principal professional development programs.
Preparing School Leaders for a Changing World examined eight pre- and in-service principal development programs that "provided evidence of strong outcomes in preparing school leaders" and "represented a variety of approaches, designs, and policy contexts, and partnerships between universities and school districts," according to the study.
Commonalities of the programs included:
- Comprehensive curriculum aligned with state and professional standards
- Formalized mentoring by expert principals, including extensive internships and on-the-job observation
- School walk-throughs and peer evaluations, connecting theory with practice
- Fostering the creation of learning communities and networks to aid in on-the-job problem solving
- Tenacious recruitment of teachers with leadership experience and/or potential to the programs
Elements of these programs also closely mirror many of NASSP's own Cornerstone Strategies for improving student performance in Breaking Ranks in the Middle and Breaking Ranks II, including: aligning curriculum to state standards, and establishing the academically rigorous essential learnings that a student is required to master in order to successfully make the transition from the middle level to high school, and from high school to postsecondary education; using data to guide school improvement; and extensive, continuous professional development.
The study found that when "compared to a national random sample of principals, graduates of these programs, on average, feel significantly better prepared for virtually every aspect of principal practice, ranging from leading instruction and organizational learning to developing a school vision and engaging parents and the community, [and] have more positive attitudes about the principalship and are more likely to plan to stay in the job, despite working in more challenging urban environments."

2 Responses to "New Study of Principal Development Programs Reveals Many Commonalities"
I do agree that I am learning more with my "on-the-job" training. While I am learning valuable information in the classroom, I like seeing the "real-world" situations. I believe that my institution will prepare me as best as they can, but it will ultimately be up to me to learn as I go. It's just like being a first year teacher all over again.
I do think my education at my institution was very well aligned to the state and national standards, but I was very overwhelmed with the Praxis test I took. I do think its better to learn on the job, as with the internship. I have learned so much more than sitting in a classroom reading a textbook.

Full detailed profile on Cooper Barrett Played by Jason Gerhardt on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Jason Gerhardt (ABC)
Birthday: April 21
Downstairs at Kelly's, Lulu is refilling salt shakers and Coop sits at the counter to chat with her. He says that his warning about Logan still stands, by the way. Lulu says that she's not afraid of Logan anymore.
Coop walks into Logan's room and see his best friend and his girlfriend in a passionate kiss.
Logan warns Maxie that Lulu and Coop were looking awfully comfortable together. He wonders if there is more going on than simple healthcare! Lulu is trying to nurse Coop after his fight with Logan. She pulls his shirt off as Maxie arrives and tells Lulu to get away! Lulu leaves. Downstairs she confronts Logan about what he told Maxie. "Do you want me to hate you?" Lulu asks. Coop and Maxie return downstairs as Logan tells Lulu that Coop has feelings for her. Lulu turns to him, demanding that he tell Logan the truth - that they are just friends! Coop and Logan go outside, neither giving an inch. Coop tells Logan, again, to stay away from Lulu but Logan refuses. He brings up Iraq, telling Logan that he can't trust himself. "If you care about her, tell her what happened over there," Coop says.
Maxie follows Coop to work, telling him to stay away from Lulu. She tells him how Lulu wraps guys around her fingers and says she is worried about him. This angers Coop, who wonders why Maxie doesn't trust him. "Sometimes I don't trust myself," she says.
Logan finds Lulu behind the counter at Kelly's. He says that he misses his private nurse and Lulu nervously tells him that the Q's have her on a pretty tight leash. She says that she's sorry if she led him on, but they need to agree that it's over between them. Logan says that it didn't feel over when they kissed. Lulu tells him that Coop had a talk with her and convinced her to stay away from him because he's dangerous. Not long after this, Coop walks in and Logan pounces on him and forces him out the door and against a brick wall on the terrace. He's furious that Coop scared Lulu away from him and Coop tells him that it's for the best. As they pull apart, Logan slams Coop with a sucker punch to the side of his ribs. Lulu comes out and yells that Logan just proved that Coop is right. She threatens to call the cops if he doesn't leave.
Cody is pacing on the waterfront waiting for Maxi to return from the hospital with some drugs for him. When she arrives and says that she won't do it, he pins her against a wall and says, "Give me the drugs so this doesn't get ugly!" He is shaking her until he feels the cold barrel of a gun on his neck. It's Coop. Maxi tells Coop that Cody didn't hurt her and Cody tells Coop to go ahead and pull the trigger. Coop tells Cody to find another way to deal with what happened in Iraq. Cody turns the tables and tells Coop that he's useless unless he's being shot at. After Cody takes off, Coop takes Maxi up to his room and tries to impress upon her how loose of a cannon someone with post traumatic stress syndrome can be. He calms down a little and tells her that she turned his life around and he doesn't want anything to happen to her. He tells Maxi that she's not just a girl in his bed, she's his best friend. Then, he asks her to stay away from Logan, too, for that matter. Logan is his friend, but Coop isn't sure if he's of sound mind after the war.
Coop finds Lulu at Kelly's and tells her to stay away from Logan because he can be dangerous. "When things go wrong, Logan tries to dig his way out and he ends up making everything worse," Coop says.
At Kelly's, Coop is telling Maxi that being a ping pong ball between the DA and Sonny is starting to get to him. He says that things have become more complicated since Logan was shot and Cody came to town. Maxi asks him if the roles were reversed, would Logan be this concerned about him? Coop says that Cody is dangerous and it's more than post traumatic stress syndrome, so he warns Maxi to stay away from the war between him and Logan. "Shut up and kiss me," Maxi says, and after they kiss, Coop goes to work.
Coop goes to Logan's room and finds out hat he is spooked by Cody's presence in Port Charles. "You've got to admit that Cody has good reasons to hate you," Coop says. Logan says that he thought Coop understood. He says, "You know how things happen out there and besides, I thought you believed me when I told you it was an accident." Coop explains that he does believe him, but Logan has to deal with the person who he hurt the most. As they sit talking, Lulu comes to the door. Coop leaves so that Logan and Lulu can be alone. She gives him the muffins that she stole from the Q's and then sits down and asks what happened in Iraq between him and Cody. Logan sadly tells her about the women who carry their dead children in their arms and the smell that gets inside your head and never leaves. "War changes you, Lulu, at the core," he tells her. He says that he can't be mad at Cody because he snapped - it could've easily been him. Lulu is respectful and sympathetic and apologizes for bringing it up.
Mike tells Maxie that Georgie isn't going to make it to Kelly's on time - and tells her to fill in for her sister. Maxie declines but Mike ignores her, hands her an apron and tells her to get to work! Maxie is bussing tables when Coop walks in, surprised to see her working. Mike interrupts them, telling them to stop flirting and start working. Coop tells her about his day, still worried about shooting Logan. Maxie could care less that Logan was hurt and tells him so. Coop sees a friend from Iraq, Cody, outside and goes to talk to him. He wonders why Cody is there. Cody tells Coop that things aren't so great - and that he blames Logan! Coop tries to give him money but Cody won't take it. Maxie comes out, asking about Logan. Cody realizes Logan is in Port Charles and is angry that Coop didn't tell him. He decides its payback time; Coop warns Cody to stay away from Logan. Maxie just listens to them arguing and wonders what is really going on. When Cody storms off she asks Coop but he won't tell her. Maxie follows Coop back to his place, asking him what went on in Iraq. He will on say it was bad. Turning to her, Coop tells Maxie that she saved him from the road that Cody is on now!

Meet Some Graduates Michael Shriver, Class of 2013 Dual Major: Chemistry/Biology Michael currently lives in Cleveland, Ohio where he is attending medical school at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. "The greatest aspect of Le Moyne is its ability to allow students to grow within the curriculum. Through the variety of courses offered in all subjects across disciplines, I was able to mature and grow both as a person and as an student. The strength of the Chemistry Department stems from its amazing faculty. During my time at Le Moyne I was consistently impressed by the professors' empathetic concern for students. With each and every encounter it was highly evident that the professors truly cared about their students, and wanted nothing more but to see every single student succeed and develop in his or her knowledge. I will be forever grateful for my time at Le Moyne and how it shaped me as both a compassionate human being, as well as a student always striving to impart my best upon the world." Best part of being a Dolphin? "The daily understanding that you are not alone in your academic adventure. Through friends, and especially the faculty at Le Moyne, help is always available to ensure your progress. With the tight-knit community that exists at the college, I truly felt during my years at Le Moyne that I was home." Lynne Duffy, Class 2006 (BS) and 2008 (MST) Major: Biology/Chemistry Lynne currently lives in Chittenango, NY. After graduation, she continued at Le Moyne, earning her Masters in Secondary Education. She worked as the director of NYS Department of Environmental Conservation environmental education summer camp. Currently, she teaches biology at the Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School. Best part of being a Dolphin? "Being part of a caring community of professionals who are always willing to help out, even several years after graduation. I feel comfortable asking almost any science professor I had to help me in my professional career." Steven Jacob, Class of 2009 Major: Chemistry Steven currently lives in Rochester, NY where he attends graduate school in chemistry at the University of Rochester. "Professors at Le Moyne take teaching very seriously and work hard to make the subject matter interesting. Rather than lecture as experts, they seem to be advocates of the subject recruiting students to help study the material." Best part of being a Dolphin? " I not only got to know my fellow students very well but also my professors, especially the chemistry professors. The faculty were very willing to help me beyond the classroom to get into graduate school."

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) – A Washington man whose wife discovered through Facebook that he had married a second woman has pleaded guilty to attempted bigamy.
Alan O'Neill, 42, was charged in March after his first wife learned of his second wife through a Facebook "people you may know" notification and alerted authorities.
The second woman's profile photo showed her with O'Neill, dressed in fancy clothes and standing near a wedding cake, The Tacoma News Tribune reported Friday.
O'Neill, who was accompanied to court by the second woman, told Superior Court Judge Beverly Grant he never meant to commit a crime.
"I've never done anything intentionally wrong in my life," he said Thursday.
O'Neill was spared jail time but will be on probation for a year. The charge is a gross misdemeanor.
He has annulled his second marriage

Not likely to get a grant. It is not how grants work. You might try finding a local investor or partner or try to qualify for a business loan.
phanio | Contributor | 2/18/2010 - 4:27 pm
Forget about grants - you will just be wasting your time. Have you thought about using current busienss financial assets to get funding. These are called assets based financing and can include purchase order financing, accounts receivable financing or business cash advances. There are also bank SBA loans you might qualify for or even the many non-bank lenders that would love to help your business since it is already established.

Hi antoinettenoz, Bones46 is right. Federal and state government agencies do not provide grants for starting a business, paying off debt, or to cover operating expenses. Government agencies do not provide 'special' grants for women, minorities, veterans or disabled entrepreneurs. Read more about it in our blog article, The Truth About Government Grants. However, other financing options, such as government loans, are available. Learn more about it in Business.gov's Minority Business Guide and our blog article, Financing for Women and Minority Entrepreneurs.

Author: Manage money, get ahead
Sosa talked about the principles that led to his achievements at the sold-out 67th annual Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce banquet Thursday at the American Bank Center. The event drew more than 1,000 of the area's politicians, business owners and community leaders.
Sosa provided everyone who attended the event with a copy of his book "Think & Grow Rich: A Latino Choice."
"I want to share with everyone, especially Latinos, how managing your money and living by the Golden Rule can lead you to achievement," Sosa said.
Sosa founded Sosa, Bromley, Aguilar & Associates, now Bromley Communications, the largest Hispanic advertising agency in the United States. His clients include Coca-Cola, Sprint, Dr Pepper, American Airlines and Coors beer.
The event also recognized businesses and individuals in the community.
WorkSource of the Coastal Bend received the Community Advocate of the Year award for helping people find jobs in the region.
Reliant Energy was selected as the Corporation of the Year for its assistance to businesses and giving to the needy in the community. The group was applauded for providing Corpus Christi Hooks tickets to 3,500 youth in the Corpus Christi.
The chamber honored Utopia World Cuisine and Lounge as Small Business of the Year.
"Their mission embraces diversity in all areas, acknowledges employee empowerment, and truly defines the customer-experience importance," said Joe Cisneros, Hispanic Chamber president and CEO.
Five-time Grammy winning songwriter, performer and producer and founder of Freddie Records, Freddie Martinez Sr., was awarded the businessperson of the year. Freddie Records is home to music superstars such as Ramon Ayala, Jimmy Gonzales y Grupo Mazz, as well as Grammy winners Los Terribles Del Norte, Michael Salgado, Solido, Atrapado and many more.
Cisneros recognized International Bank of Commerce, G&A Partners, Love Chrysler and Asset Protection & Security Services for their mention in Hispanic Business Magazine's 500, an annual ranking of the largest Hispanic-owned companies.
This year's Hispanic Chamber Chairman's Award went to Kent Byus, a marketing professor at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, for his service to the chamber's board, and the Ambassador of the Year award was presented to Cathy Colomo-Riojas for her volunteer work in representing the chamber.
Established in 1939, the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber has more than 800 members.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa – For the second time in the last five days, the Dakota Wesleyan University women's basketball team came up short against No. 10 Morningside College.
The Mustangs won by 13, 80-67, when the two teams met Jan. 29 at the Corn Palace, and Morningside won by 13 again Monday night, this time by a score of 79-66 in Sioux City, Iowa. The No. 25 Tigers are now 15-9 overall and 8-7 and in sixth place in the Great Plains Athletic Conference. Morningside is 19-5 overall and 10-4 in the league.
Morningside led by 13, 63-50, with 6:10 left to play Monday night, but Amanda Hart hit a three to spark a 10-2 run for the Tigers that ended with a layup by Celeste Beck to get DWU within five, 65-60, with 3:34 left on the clock. But Jessica Tietz converted a three-point play to make it an eight-point game, and Ashlynn Muhl and Osten both scored to push Morningside's lead back to 12, 72-60, with 1:47 left to play. Hart hit another three to make it a nine-point game, but the Mustangs hit free throws and scored two layups in the final 31 seconds to seal the win.
Neither team was able to gain any ground early in the game. Hart hit a three to start the scoring and Beck hit a three to keep DWU up 8-5 less than four minutes in. The two teams exchanged the lead several times, and DWU took its last lead of the game at 19-17 on a pair of free throws by Beck. A three by the Mustangs made it a four-point game, but Beck responded with a three to cut the gap to one, 23-22, with 7:31 left in the first. Another three by Beck made it a one-point game again, this time at 31-30, with 2:07 left in the half, but Morningside outscored DWU 8-3 to end the half and led 39-33 at halftime.
Kim Johnson hit a three and a jumper to start the second half and cut Morningside's lead to one, 39-38, and DWU stayed within a few points of the Mustangs for the first several minutes, but after a jumper by Kristin Sabers made it a two-point game, Morningside went on a 13-3 run to go up 12, 57-45. The Mustangs maintained that double-digit lead until the final minutes of the game.
Beck finished with 20 points to lead the Tigers, and both she and Hart hit four 3-pointers. Beck also had seven rebounds. Hart finished with 12 points and Sabers added 10. Katie Johnson had seven rebounds and Taylor Piper added four assists. DWU shot 34.4 percent from the field and hit 10 threes. The Tigers went 12-for-18 from the line and had 37 rebounds and 13 turnovers.
Tietz led Morningside with 18 points and 10 rebounds and Muhl added 15 points and 11 rebounds. Lexi Ackerman had 14 points and Osten finished with 12. The Mustangs shot 39.7 percent from the field and hit just four threes, but went 21-for-25 from the line. Morningside had 51 rebounds, including 19 offensive boards, and 12 turnovers.
DWU continues its busy schedule Wednesday, Feb. 5, when it travels to Sioux Center, Iowa, to take on Dordt College. The Tigers are at home Saturday, Feb. 8, and again Monday, Feb. 10 and Wednesday, Feb. 12.
