Brothers at War — 2001
Making Sense of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War
By Tekaste Negash and Kjetil Tronvoll
"The Ethiopian-Eritrean war came largely as a surprise to most outsiders. There had been a general consensus that Ethiopia's acceptance of Eritrean independence, de facto in 1991 and de jure in 1993, had resolved one of the major causes of regional instability and conflict in the Horn of Africa. The bloody fighting has demonstrated just how wrong this was.This book sets out to explain just why this happened and to demonstrate that the conflict had a much wider genesis than the flare up of fighting at Badme in May 1998. It succeeds admirably. Indeed a major strength of this book is the account of the historical context, and the slow build-up to the fighting."
Patrick Gilkes
The war between Eritrea and Ethiopia, which began in May 1998, took the world by surprise. During the war, both sides mobilized huge forces along their common borders and spent several hundred million dollars on military equipment. Outside observers found it difficult to evaluate the highly polarized official statements and proclamations issued by the two governments in conflict.
Brothers at War presents important, contextual aspects to explain the growing discord between the two formerly friendly governments. It looks at the historical relations between the two countries since the late nineteenth century, the historical border issues from local perspectives, and the complicated relations between the former liberation fronts that subsequently formed the current governments of the two countries.
Tekaste Negash is Associate Professor in Modern History at Dalerna University College, Sweden.
Kjetil Tronvoll is Research Fellow and Horn of Africa Programme Director at the Norwegian Institute of Human Rights, University of Oslo.

Review of a Social Security Disability Claim
Here is a recent question left as a comment by "Giftbearer" The comment is reprinted below and is followed by my response to it.
This is not about overpayment, but I wanted to ask you this question someplace recent where you would see it (and it looks like you haven't written about this scenario yet). My situation is this; one disabling condition has improved while it has been replaced with another just as disabling. The State Dept. of Labor (now in charge of Social Security Disability Adjudication in my state) has been reviewing my Disability for close to a year. Wach time I fill out papers and send them back they wait awhile and then come up with yet another hoop for me to jump through. It appears that my case for continuing on Disability is pretty strong so they keep looking for something else, and then something else that they can use to cut off my income. By the way; I'm not sure when the Dept. of Labor was assigned to do Disability Adjudication. In all my previous reviews this was done at the Federal level; not at the State level and only required one set of forms to fill out and was taken care of within about 30 days. I get the impression the Dept. of Labor knows nothing about SSDI regulations and how to apply that policy. Needless to say this is scary and it's as if I'm applying all over again from scratch. I feel like maybe I should get an attorney but don't know how that would be handled fee-wise since I won't be getting backpay, as all I'm doing is trying to retain my current status. There may be others in my same situation who can benefit from this information, so I hope you'll write an article on this topic. Thanks!
I am assuming that you are receiving disability and have been receiving disability for some time as you have had prior continuing disability reviews that took thirty days or so to process. Generally, continuing medical reviews are processed in a more timely manner than a year, however many factors could be affecting your disability review's processing time.
Some factors may have nothing to do with your particular claim, as state disability determination agencies across the nation are suffering record attrition with regard to their ability to retain enough employees to process the ever-increasing amount of new disability claims, along processing continuing medical reviews.
To my knowledge, Social Security disability decisions and reviews have always been processed by federally funded state disability determination agencies.
Although,there has been much talk over the years about federalizing all aspects of the disability process, state disability agencies continue to make Social Security medical determinations. And, although states have different agencies handling Social Security disability determinations, the disability examiners receive uniform disability training with regard to the medical and vocational rules used in making Social Security disability medical determinations.
Personally, I feel that your continuing review may be a little bit more difficult to process because the condition that your initial disability decision was based upon has improved. In a way, the disability examiner processing your disability review is making a new disability determination based upon your "new" disability condition.
You may wish to wait to talk to an attorney or non-attorney representative until you receive your continuing disability review decision, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have a consultation either. If you receive a denial due to medical improvement you can request a disability cessation hearing at the state disability agency and ask for benefit continuation while they make a decision.
I can understand your concern since your disability benefit is your livelihood, and with your new condition you are not able to work. Actually, I would not be excessively worried however (though I know full well that it is very easy for someone else to make that statement) as your review may be taking longer because of problems at your local state disability agency.
For example, if the disability examiner who has been handling your disability review has left the agency, your disability review may have been transferred to another disability examiner, and if the new disability examiner finds the information in your file is more than ninety days old they have to redevelop your medical information, thus the continuing request for additional information.
I know that I have provided no concrete answers to your dilemma, however it may be comforting to know that, statistically, far more continuing disability reviews end with a continuance of benefits than a cessation of disability benefits.
In fact, I knew several disability examiners who made off-handed complaints that it was too difficult to cease a claimant's benefits at the time of review---which is just another example of how adversarial the system really is, despite the thin veneer of objectivity with regard to disability claim processing that the social security administration would like us all to believe in.

NBC's Prez Hints That 'Chuck' Will Be Back, Talks About New Shows
To be clear, Bromstad doesn't say that 'Chuck' and 'Heroes' will definitely be back. But when a high-level network exec says in an interview just a couple of weeks before their upfront presentation that 'Chuck' is their highest-performing Monday night show," a "very strong player," and that "it's a show that matches up with our new shows," that usually means there's a lot more chance it will be back than a chance it will be canceled. Still, it wouldn't hurt to go to Subway every day for the next two weeks.
Bromstad also says that 'Heroes' could come back to split a time slot with another show. Again, not a definite commitment, but the show does well in a certain demo and also online, so it sounds like they're trying to find a way to keep it.
But most of the interview is about the new shows that NBC has already announced they've picked up and the new shows that have gotten a good response so far. J.J. Abrams' 'Undercovers' has been given the green light and people seem to like it. Bromstad says that even though Abrams is busy with movies he'll still find time to work on the show after directing the pilot.
The other shows NBC has picked up are the comedy 'Outsourced,' and the romance anthology series 'Love Bites.' While the 'Rockford Files' remake and the superhero show 'The Cape,' (which refers to an actual cape a guy wears and not a summer vacation spot in Massachusetts) are both getting good buzz, we'll have to wait until NBC's May 17 upfront to hear the thumbs up or the thumbs down.
There's another show they've already picked up called 'The Event,' but it's going to be a question mark the size of Texas. It's a serialized -- oh no, serialized! -- drama about a guy caught up in a big conspiracy. I guess the only question is will it be the next 'Lost' or the next 'Daybreak'? Will you give another show like that a chance after so many networks have canceled so many serialized shows before they're even over or will you just say "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"?
You know what? Both 'Chuck' and 'Heroes' should be renewed. 'Chuck' should be renewed for obvious reasons. It's WICKED AWESOME! Oh, you want a more detailed reason than that? Well, besides what Bromstad said about it being NBC's most popular show on Monday nights, it's actually a show that gets culty fan buzz and has the quality to justify that fan fervor. It's truly one of the most entertaining shows on TV right now.
As for 'Heroes,' even fans who think the show has gone downhill the past couple of years -- or from the second episode, the way some fans talk -- will admit that it just seems a bit unfinished. The season finale tied up some loose ends but it also opened the door to some cool possibilities. The last episode didn't scream "there's so much more to say about these characters so give us another 22 episodes!" but it did say "this show needs 13 episodes to truly finish things up."
So NBC, please give us those last episodes so we'll have a definite conclusion. I'd like to have a nice, tidy ending for the complete series DVD set.
Would you like to see either 'Chuck' or 'Heroes' renewed?

UV Lancers snatch 4th win in Cesafi caging-A A +A
Thursday, August 28, 2014
THE University of the Visayas basketball squads pulled dominating victories over their counterparts from the University of Cebu to improve their standings in the 2014 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) Basketball Tournament at the Cebu Coliseum.
The defending champions UV Green Lancers were sharp at the start to score a 76-50 repeat over the Webmasters last Tuesday night, while the Baby Lancers needed an end-game spark from Orlan Wamar to subdue the hardfighting Baby Webmasters, 91-80 yesterday.
The Lancers were hitting their target early to put up a 22-10 lead after the first quarter and never looked back to secure its fourth win in seven games, while handing UC its sixth straight defeat in seven matches.
After a 12-point deficit in the first period, UC tried to put up a good challenge as they out-manuevered the Lancers with Graciano Puerto Jr. and Jan Auditor scoring five points each and Junas Misa contributing four for the Webmasters' 19-13 second quarter outburst.
But UV came out roaring after the break as they dropped an 11-2 run to establish a 46-31 lead on the third.
UC had a short resistance with Auditor scoring four of a 6-0 blitz but UV was again unstoppable as it closed the third period on a 14-4 run that closed the third period with the defending champions leading 60-41.
An 8-0 run by UV at the start of the fourth period put the game away for good.
Raffy Octobre topscored for UV with 16 points, while Nigerian Jeffakins Aguara added 10. while Auditor and Puerto finished with 13 each for UC.

Students preparing for summer missions experiences
More than two dozen Baptist Bible College students will be spending the summer working in out-of-state and overseas missions, gaining hands-on experience in global Christian leadership and service.
Students will be traveling to locations ranging from Chicago, China, and Haiti to Germany, Thailand, and Brazil.
Kristin Geer, a senior from Alexander, NY, will be spending two months in Thailand working with Women At Risk International, a nonprofit organization established to place circles of protection around women at risk, creating safe houses, and rescuing women and children from many abuses.
Kristin will be serving as an intern at The Well, a safe house in Bangkok, Thailand. She will be there from the end-of-June through mid-August.
"The idea is to go and understand better how a safe house is run and how it's connecting into the lives of women and showing them hope, and then to just jump in and be a part of it," she said. "I'm just really excited for God to work in me to continue to learn to see like He does."
Ben Nagel, a senior from Brook, IN, will be working in Israel, serving with a team of college students with Friends of Israel from mid-July through mid-August.
"I am really excited to be going to Israel this summer," he said. "The trip will be spent in Tel Aviv, working in hospitals and other places, helping people and doing various projects. We will be traveling all over to see Jerusalem, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee, the Dead Sea, the Temple Mount, the Garden of Gethsemane, and Mount Carmel."
Additionally, many other students will be working this summer in their home churches, as well as at camps and with other organizations throughout the summer.

Oklahoma City Thunder: What could Serge Ibaka learn from Hakeem Olajuwon?
NBA players who have worked with Olajuwon include Yao Ming, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Luol Deng, Emeka Okafor, JaVale McGee and Kenneth Faried. Olajuwon also has worked with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks is friends with Olajuwon and was his teammate for 2 1/2 seasons (1992-95) in Houston.
Although Brooks willingly endorses his centers working on their offensive skills during the offseason, Brooks said he doesn't necessarily believe the answer lies in trying to duplicate the skills of the 7-foot, 255-pound and freakishly athletic Olajuwon, who finished with career averages of 23.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 1.5 steals.
"What he was able to do, I will never see in my lifetime," Brooks said of Olajuwon, "but if he can somehow, some way (teach that) … I don't think it's possible, what he was able to do. You don't see that. He was seven feet tall, he's as quick as most guards, (has) better footwork than most guards. He's a freak of nature. He was one of the best players ever."
Thunder starting center Kendrick Perkins is on the same wavelength as Brooks.
"I think the Olajuwon thing is overrated to me," Perkins said. "He was a guy that just had a special gift. Some things you can't teach. I was a Houston Rockets fan and I was an Olajuwon fan growing up. If you go back and watch Olajuwon and all the moves he used to make and all that, a lot of guys try to go work with him and you see a lot of guys try to even do the 'Dream Shake' and they be falling on they face.
"So at the end of the day, I think that's a special gift. Like, seriously. I think nowadays you just got to have a go-to move, a counter and then if you want to add a couple of other moves. But the things he (Olajuwon) had in his game you can't really teach that. That's just my opinion."

The accident happened when a pedestrian was crossing the road outside of a crosswalk and a minivan slowed down for him. Llewelyn, the driver of the county truck, tried to avoid the van but oncoming traffic prevented that and it struck the rear left of the minivan with its right fender. No injuries were reported.

First to Serve
First Kansas (Colored) Volunteer Infantry Regiment
During the Civil War, Kansas was the first state to officially recruit and train military units comprised of black soldiers. Between July 1862 and October 1863, the 1st and 2nd Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiments were recruited in eastern Kansas and mustered into the Union Army at Fort Scott. They compiled a proud campaign record in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and the Indian Territory.
Kansas Senator (General) James H. Lane pioneered the recruitment of black soldiers in the Midwest. Most of the soldiers of the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment were from Fort Scott, Leavenworth, Mound City, Wyandotte, and Lawrence, Kansas.
The Fort Scott Bulletin reported:
July 26, 1862
"An effort is being made in Leavenworth to raise a regiment of negroes. There are contrabands enough in Fort Scott to fill up two companies..."
August 16, 1862
"Colored Regiments--Gen. Lane is still going on with the work of organizing two Colored Regiments, notwithstanding the refusal of the President to accept black soldiers. Last Tuesday about fifty recruits were raised here..."
The 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment was mustered into the United States Army on January 13, 1863, at Fort Scott, Kansas. It was the fifth black regiment to enter the Union Army. Colonel James M. Williams, who had helped recruit the regiment, became the commanding officer. Throughout the Civil War, white officers normally commanded black regiments. However, a few black soldiers eventually earned the rank of officer and many others were promoted to non-commissioned officers (corporals and sergeants.) On December 13, 1864, during a general reorganization of the black regiments the 1st Kansas Colored Infantry became the 79th United States Colored Troops (USCT) and the 2nd Kansas Colored Infantry was designated the 83rd United States Colored Troops.
Campaign Record
The 1st Kansas Colored Infantry Regiment achieved an excellent combat record during the Civil War, and it also performed garrison, engineer, and escort duty. The Regiment saw action at:
Union officers recognized the excellent combat reputation of the 1st Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry Regiment:
Major General James G. Blunt--July 26, 1863:
Lt. Colonel John Bowles--July 20, 1863:
Brigadier General John McNeil--November 2, 1863:
Colonel James M. Williams--April 24, 1864:
The 1st Kansas Colored Regiment, mustered out in October 1865, incurred the most casualties of any Kansas Regiment. Five officers and 173 enlisted soldiers were killed in action and one officer and 165 enlisted soldiers died from disease.

Hi Friends,
I'll go straight... I want to learn Microsoft Excel.
I tried to use its build-in help/tutorial, but I couldn't really understand the part that I want to learn (formulas...)
I've seen others who created a worksheet that works really well. I mean I was fascinated that excel was THIS powerful. So I wanna learn creating formulas.
Excel is my favorite application on my personal PC.
The problem with trying to learn from the Help files is that you don't have a practical exercise to work with.
Once you have a real situation/problem then the Help files are extremely helpful.
Amazon.com offers many books on the subject and I suggest that one of them is the best way to learn.
Remember what a spreadsheet started out as. Electronic scratchpaper. You can either use the built-in formulas, or you can make your own. Either way you have to know the formulas work and what are its limitations. Just because the answer looks nice doesn't mean its correct.
As stated by Bryan in the previous post, you should have a practical real world problem to work with. I use to start people off with a checkbook problem. Simple just add and subtract, deposits and withdrawals. Next try a mortgage (loan) amortization table and make the answer match that of using the built-in formula and to understand what cause the differences in the answers. This should give you a week or so of work to think about.
Hi Bryan & Fred,
Thanks a lot, I learned things from your answers. Thanks.
Rather than buying, try the library for a book on Excel. There are many good ones available.
Nandy, you have had several excellent suggestions but thereis ONE FREE tutorial that is SO easy and simple, it is almost too simple. It explains every step of the way and I use it in my classes where I teach seniors.
Here is the site:
Please try it. You might have to print out each lesson so as to have it by your side. The graphics are great too. Good luck. Ron
I couldn't agree more. It was a very smooth tutorial.
Thanks A LOT, Ron.

Can't beat this for a last minute dessert. Served with a dab of vanilla ice cream and a few fresh berries for garnish. I also sprinkled a little sugar on top of the tart before baking.flag if inappropriate
So quick and yet so pretty! I've tried all sorts of jam variations. Add a few fresh berries and some shredded lemon peel for extra flavor and fun.flag if inappropriate

UNDATED (CNN) -- Almost six weeks after the Connecticut shooting rampage that killed 20 first-graders, Senator Dianne Feinstein has proposed a new federal gun ban.
The California Democrat wants to outlaw some assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons, as well as ban some high-capacity ammunition magazines. The legislation is already facing opposition.
Feinstein made her message clear Thursday: she wants guns like these banned. She says, "Once you have been through one of these episodes. Once you see what the crime scene is like, it isn't like the movies. It changes your view of weapons."
Feinstein's proposal would upgrade an assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. It would also outlaw ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
The legislation faces strong opposition from gun rights advocates who believe the weapons are needed for protection. Celia Bigelow, Dir. Of Campus Action with the American Majority Action says, "I want a gun that can hold a lot of ammo because if I'm faced with an intruder or multiple intruders that come into my home, I want to make sure I have enough ammo to get the job done. Especially if they're armed."
Former House speaker Newt Gingrich says this is just a renewed push bring back the assault weapons ban. He says, "That's not looking seriously at mental health, looking seriously at violent games, looking seriously at violent movies, looking seriously at a variety of things which may have nothing to do with a 20-year-old proposal that in fact has brought out every single chance they have to try to extend the power of the government over individuals."
Despite the recent push by the White House and Democrats for tougher gun control measures, Feinstein's full proposal is given little chance of winning congressional approval.
The National Rifle Association says it is "confident" Congress won't pass Feinstein's measure.
Supporters of more gun control acknowledge the constitutional right to bear arms, but argue that rifles capable of firing multiple rounds automatically or semi-automatically exceed the reasonable needs of hunters and other gun enthusiasts.

Interocular suppression is scale invariant, but ipsiocular suppression is weighted by flicker speed
D H Baker, T S Meese, K Patel, W Sarwar
In human and cat there are two routes to suppression for orthogonal masks: a broadband, non-adaptable, ipsiocular pathway, and a more narrowband, adaptable interocular pathway. We investigated the strength of both types of suppression in humans across spatio-temporal scale using orthogonal pairs of superimposed Gabor patches (mask and target) flickering at four spatial (0.5, 1, 2, 4 cycles deg-1) and two temporal (4 and 15 Hz) frequencies. Mask and target were presented to the same eye or different eyes in 2IFC cross-orientation masking experiments. Masking functions were normalized to baseline detection thresholds and fit by a two-stage model of contrast gain control (Meese et al, 2006 Journal of Vision 6 1224 - 1243) developed to accommodate cross-orientation masking. The weight of ipsiocular suppression was proportional to the square-root of stimulus speed (TF/SF), as in the binocular case (Meese and Holmes, 2007 Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Series B 274 127 - 136). However, dichoptic-masking functions superimposed, showing that the interocular, presumably cortical, process is scale-invariant. These findings have implications for studies of amblyopia, binocular rivalry, and single-cell physiology.

Sentencing date is reset in Route 66 bar fracas
The sentencing date was postponed in Lucas County Common Pleas Court Wednesday for the man involved in a 2009 shootout at a bar that received national attention.
Marquese Robbins, 32, of 1103 Norwood Ave. was slated to be sentenced after pleading no contest April 11 to two counts of felonious assault, one with a gun specification. Because the recommendation was that the sentences run concurrent, he faces up to 11 years in prison. Judge Gene Zmuda set a June 3 sentencing date.
Robbins was found guilty of firing into a crowded Route 66 Bar and Grill on Oct. 8, 2009. Despite about 20 shots being fired from four guns, no one was injured.
Toledo police identified Robbins as the key shooter shortly afterward. He was not arrested until months later and appeared for the first time in court last June.

Many believers want politicians to talk more about God and faith. Many secularists wish they would stop doing so. But are both missing the point?
Controlling religious and political interests have been manipulating each other for years - but the subversive language of the Gospel (which talks about the last coming first, peacemaking, and the poor being the true test of our ethics) rarely gets a look in whether God or religion are lauded or ignored.
My latest column tackles this issue in the light of the recent research from Theos - http://ekklesia.co.uk/node/7820
"God bless America? Should Politicians 'Do God'?", with my colleague Jonathan Barley, is taking place this evening (Weds 22 October 2008) at the crypt, St James Clerkenwell from 7pm. Go to: Clerkenwell Close, London, EC1R 0EA.Tweet

McDonough's Na'Ty Rodgers and Friendship Collegiate's Derwin Gray became fast friends on the offseason football camp circuit, often competing for top honors among linemen and attention from recruiters representing the nation's top college programs.
Both hulking players had accumulated numerous college scholarship offers when Gray called in mid-June with news that surprised Rodgers. More than two months before the start of his senior season, Gray had given his oral commitment to the University of Maryland.

Biographical Sketch
I am broadly interested in the behavior, ecology, and conservation of freshwater fishes, with an emphasis on salmon, trout and char species. My students and I have focused on examining how space use and territoriality may act as a mechanism limiting the density of salmonid fish in streams. In addition, my lab has been interested in defining conservation units by examining ecotypic variation of salmonid fishes. Idaho State University offers an ideal location for access to many research sites throughout the intermountain west as well as western Canada. In conjunction with many field projects, laboratory experiments focusing on competition, bioenergetics, and swimming ability are also conducted by my students and me. For more information about projects and students working in my lab, go to the Fish Ecology Homepage.

Everybody has had it all, from the magical pills to the jelly dumbbells all in a quest to get the perfect set of abs. Since everything is not always rosy and most times a lot of money and time is wasted. However flex belt has once again come up to fill the spot. Flex belt is a belt designed to work on your abs while you work on something else which literally means whether you are watching TV or doing laundry you are still working out.
How it works
Flex belt cones in a set of 3 nodes with a controller and sticky pads. To make it work you have to stick the 3 nodes onto your body one on your right side another on your left and another just on top if your navel. In addition you have to stick the sticky pads mm on top of the nodes that you had earlier placed. It then goes on to send EMS to your stomach which helps clench and release the muscles within your stomach, thus building your Abs.
Pros of the belt
When you wear the belt you can actually do something else as it does not restrain you since it has many levels of resistance in which you can easily chose one you are comfortable with. In addition if you are a rather fit person results can easily be achieved with wearing the belt for 30 minutes daily. Since it comes with a 2 year guarantee it is easily trustworthy. Read these reviews of flex belt.
You will not lose weight as purported, this goes on to make sense as the belt is used for toning purposes rather than weight lose purposes, thus one cannot sit down watch TV and expect to see a set of Abs appear. In addition it breaks down easily; you should not imagine that since it has been called a belt that it is actually one. This is a sophisticated piece of equipment that needs care otherwise will break down easily with no results to show for it. It is also extremely expensive to purchase.

The Carbon High School drama team returned from region eight competition after a successful experience.
Carbon High School took top honors in the one-act play category with the judges awarding the drama team with the best play honor at the competition.
The Carbon High students performed "The Last Train," a play dealing with the holocaust and World War II.
Special recognition went to Lyndsay Durrant as the best supporting actress and J.B. Arriola for the best supporting actor.
"The plays were much stronger than last year," commented director Rodney Scott.
In the individual events category, Carbon placed a full slate for state, but the high school was unable to overcome stiff competition from Lehi, pointed out Scott.
Nevertheless, the Carbon High School drama team members still managed to capture second place overall at the competition.
Carbon High students receiving special recognition and medals for performances in the individual events at the region competition included:
Kristina Juliano and Ashley Madrigal in dramatic monologue.
Mandy Taylor, Bryan Johnson and Cortney Lui in contemporary scenes.
Stacia Kunz, Rikelle Deaton and Nick Teny in pantomime.

With the majority of the holiday spotlight directed towards Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's easy to overlook the difficulty that New Year's Eve can cause after a traumatic year. Joni Aldrich offers support and advice to those who are facing 2011 without a loved one.
Most of us look forward to the second when that famous ball drops in Times Square. After all, a new year represents a fresh start, a chance to make the changes in our lives we've been wanting, and an opportunity to put the troubles of the past behind us. All around the world, it has become tradition to close out the past twelve months with cheerful abandon and to toast the incoming year with family and friends.

I heard an interesting story on Marketplace yesterday evening. Apparently, the statistics show that the stock market performs better when the U.S. Congress is on vacation.
They call it the Congressional Effect: the fact that Wall Street does better in periods like August, when Congress is on holiday. And not just somewhat better. Nearly all the gains in the Dow over a century have come when Congress was on holiday.
"Nearly all" means tat by investing only when Congress is out of session, and switching to money mareket funds while Congress is in, you're set for making more money overall. Market timing is risky, so it's not something I would recommend. Nevertheless, there are other ways to make money off of the Congressional Effect.
The Singer Conrgressional Fund is a hedge fund that strategically invests to take advantage of this effect. A fund like this is likely difficult for the small investor to get into, so an alternative could be making use of futures. Amity Shlaes has a few more suggestions in the MarketPlace piece (which you can listen to here).
The fees and taxes associated with frequently selling and buying, for the small investor, will probably reduce any of the large returns you might see otherwise.

Lord's Intervention!

It is a gift of the Lord that I am still alive. When I was in the hospital, they thought that I would need a heart transplant. Because of grace, they were proven wrong.
At the time I sent you a request, someone had made false charges against me. As of right now, I have been proven innocent. Thanks to the grace of the Lord!

Hi, everyone.
It's July, and it sure feels like it. And that is a good thing. Welcome to the "lazy, hazy, and crazy days of summer." To be honest, it's all in what you make of these days.
Personally I love 'em, especially in the evenings. Lightning bugs are coming out, bugs in general are starting to "sing" loudly. The smell of the evening is also pretty darn good. This is the time of year when nature is so alive. So enjoy.
It will be hot and humid through mid-week, then we see temps back to normal: High 87/Low 67 by week's end and the weekend.

NUI Galway Postgraduate Student Awarded Irish Times Internship
Thursday, 11 November 2010
Postgraduate student, Cian Nihill, who is due to graduate from the MA in Journalism at NUI Galway this month, was recently awarded a twelve-month inaugural editorial internship with The Irish Times. Two internships were awarded nationally and there were over 600 applications received by the daily newspaper. The editorial internship which Cian is undertaking is intended to give participants an opportunity to secure training and experience in journalism, and to allow the newspaper and the irishtimes.com website to benefit from their ideas, energy and all-round contribution. The scheme is designed to introduce newcomers to journalism and is aimed primarily at recent third level graduates and postgraduates in any discipline. An individual programme will be developed for each intern throughout their year of invaluable experience, to take account of their particular skills and interests, whether these lie in news reporting, feature writing, sub-editing, digital media or some other aspect of journalism. Cian will have the opportunity to rotate around the different departments in the Irish Times throughout the year, allowing him to gain a broad range of skills and insights into the workings of the Newspaper. Cian from Moycullen Co Galway, applied for the internship after completing the MA Journalism Course at NUI Galway. He also completed his undergraduate BA in History and Sociology and Political Science and is a keen sportsman who is currently a member of the Irish Senior Men's Basketball Squad as well as playing for Moycullen in the Irish Superleague. The MA in Journalism at NUI Galway, is a twelve-month taught Masters programme, offering students a varied range of subjects in the realm of journalism including: Broadcasting, Feature Writing, News Writing and Reporting, Politics, Media Law, and Media Ethics. Students also undertake a work placement and are exposed to professionals within the media industry throughout the year through a series of guest lectures. Bernadette O Sullivan, Director of the MA Journalism says: "Many journalism graduates are still passionate about traditional print journalism, in spite of the difficulties the newspaper industry is facing due to competition with other media. It's encouraging to see newspapers like the Irish Times taking positive action to give opportunities to young people like Cian Nihill, who have a lot to offer, and on whom the future of the industry depends." -Ends-

NUI Galway Based Company Wins at the Irish Web Awards
Thursday, 11 November 2010
An NUI Galway Business Innovation Centre client company OnePageCRM.com which was developed in the Centre at the University, recently received a prestigious Irish Web Award for Best New Web Application or Service. The website won the award for their online sales/customer relationship management (CRM) application. OnePageCRM.com has also been accepted into the Enterprise Ireland Internet Growth Acceleration Programme (iGAP), an intensive management development programme aimed exclusively at high potential internet companies. OnePageCRM.com was developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a company's sales process, helping businesses to significantly increase sales. Winning the award for Best New Web Application or Service means that OnePageCRM.com is recognised as one of the best new applications in Ireland. The application was developed after NUI Galway graduate Michael FitzGerald, the CEO and founder of OnePageCRM, got frustrated with the products available on the customer relationship management market. The OnePageCRM.com application drives sales by focusing the user on that 'Next Action' required to move a sale closer to success. A soon to-be-released new iPhone application will help businesses stay on top of their sales tasks wherever they are furthering the usability of OnepageCRM.com. Speaking on the recent successful developments for OnePageCRM, Michael FitzGerald says, "The vital difference between our award-winning application and other sales software is that it is action-based. While it has the ability to collect sales prospects information, it is more motivational, encouraging the user in achieving efficiency to increase sales." Fiona Neary of NUI Galway Technology Transfer Office says: "NUI Galway strongly supports the value a Business Innovation Centre on campus brings to the region and working with such a high calibre company like OnePageCRM.COM clearly illustrates this value. Michael's innovativeness and creativity is an inspiration to all entrepreneurs of exactly what can be achieved with dedication, vision and action. NUI Galway would like to congratulate Michael on winning this prestigious award." The Irish Web Awards is an annual event that acknowledges people who achieve great things through using the web. This year's nominations were judged by over 150 independent judges worldwide. -Ends-

NUI Galway Receives Two Undergraduate Awards at the 2010 Ceremony

Two NUI Galway students have won prizes at this year's Undergraduate Awards of Ireland and Northern Ireland Awards at the Royal Irish Academy.

NUI Galway host 1960 Sigerson Cup Champions Reunion
Tuesday, 9 November 2010
NUI Galway Gaelic Games will celebrate the 50th anniversary reunion of the 1960 NUI Galway Sigerson Cup Champions at a special event in the University on 19 November. This group of men, who captured the coveted crown, possessed a large number of players who later went on to become household names in the GAA world of the 1960s. This reunion aims to honour those men who in their tenure within the college brought honour and distinction to the college jersey. In the 1960 final UCG, as it was known at that time, defeated the stern challenge of UCD as Galway native George Glynn, who later captured All Ireland honours with his adopted Down in 1968, lifted the famed Sigerson Cup. This UCG side was littered with some famous names none more so than Pat Donnellan, who won three in a row All Ireland s with Galway alongside another three in a row team mate Martin Newell. Martin later became one of the leading Professors of Mathematics in Ireland and lectured for many years in NUI Galway. Hugh McGonigle (Sligo), Mike Laide (Kerry and Galway), John S Kelly (Roscommon), Des Feely (Roscommon), Joe Langan (Mayo), Sean Donnelly (Longford), and Tony Kenny (Roscommon) were others who starred with UCG and later at inter-county level. The Chairman of the Club who did much to develop Gaelic games in the college and was involved in preparing this team was Professor Owen McKenna who was father to the late actress Siobhan McKenna. Gaelic Games Officer at NUI Galway Michael O Connor says "It is an honour for the football club of the college and the GAA organisation with the university to honour these legends of the game who in their tenure within the college brought honour and distinction to the college jersey and continued to do so in sport and their professional lives over the last 50 years. We welcome them back to their Alma Mater and we hope the happy memories garnered around the college quad and the fields of Galway and beyond preparing for Sigerson 1960 will be rekindled. "These men along with many other successful football and hurling sides in this period helped lay the template for future successes that the college enjoyed in the 60s and 70s and NUI Galway GAA would like to welcome them back for this deserved reunion." The reunion will be held in the boardroom in the Quadrangle, NUI Galway on 19 November followed by lunch in the college bar. -Ends-

Major Boost for Regenerative Medicine Research
Monday, 8 November 2010
In a major boost for Regenerative Medicine research in Ireland, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, Mr Batt O'Keeffe T.D. today announced funding of almost €10 million for the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at NUI Galway. Funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), REMEDI is Ireland's leading biomedical research institute focusing on translating stem cell biology to regenerative therapeutics. Today's announcement will allow REMEDI to take research findings from the first phase of its operation and move towards clinical trials for new therapies and treatments for degenerative diseases. Minister O Keeffe said the €9.69 million Government investment would help scientists to develop practical medical applications for their research. "For six years, leading scientists, engineers, clinicians and industry partners in REMEDI have worked towards new therapies to help organ and tissue repair and regeneration. The emphasis in recent years has been on commercialising ground-breaking work undertaken in the REMEDI laboratories. The support of the Government through an award of over €9 million from Science Foundation Ireland will help REMEDI to move their research to the next stage of clinical trials which could produce new therapies for human health, said Minister O Keeffe, who reiterated the Government s commitment to investment in research and innovation. Regenerative Medicine is an evolving and exciting area of medical science, which aims to regenerate tissue thus avoiding the need for organ replacement and the associated problems with sourcing of donor organs. Developments in the field hold enormous potential for the treatment of currently untreatable degenerative diseases. In a partnership involving scientists, engineers, clinicians, and industry partners, researchers at REMEDI aim to develop novel therapies to achieve organ and tissue repair and regeneration. The Regenerative Medicine Institute is particularly focused on developing new therapies and treatments for diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis. Today's funding announcement comes on the back of additional support for regenerative medicine research at NUI Galway with a recent Higher Education Authority award of PRTLI funding to the value of €37 million for a Biosciences Research building and a Translational Research Facility. These two new buildings for medical science research will enable NUI Galway to build on its existing strength in the biomedical sciences area, established through its National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES). The Biosciences Research Building, which is currently under construction and due for completion in 2011, is located on the main campus, while the Translational Research Facility will house basic, translational and clinical research teams on the site of University Hospital Galway and will open in 2012. The development of the Translational Research Facility at the hospital will promote the international standing of both the University and University Hospital Galway as a leading centre for translational research and cancer care. In a third development in the biomedical sciences area, a new Clinical Research Facility on the grounds of University Hospital Galway will open in 2012. The HRB Clinical Research Facility Galway is a joint venture between Galway University Hospitals and NUI Galway, with funding from the Health Research Board and Health Service Executive. This third facility will serve as the translational arm of REMEDI and will allow findings from basic research in stem cells, gene therapy, biomaterials and immunology to be brought to the clinical trial stage. NUI Galway President, Dr James J. Browne added: "We in NUI Galway are very proud of the work of REMEDI. In the six years since its establishment, the Institute has developed a critical mass of scientific research and industry partnerships with multi-national and indigenous companies. As it moves into the next exciting phase of development, REMEDI will bring new therapies and treatments for degenerative diseases to clinical trial here in Galway. This is ground breaking work and will support Ireland's position at the forefront of the medical technology sector globally." As REMEDI's focus shifts towards translating research into human therapies, its partnerships with industry will take on a new significance. Advances in regenerative medicine will have important advantages for the progression of research and development in the medical device industry, which is critical to the economy of the West of Ireland. The Institute's already successful collaborative relationship with Medtronic, a global leader in medical device technologies, will continue to grow; while new partnerships have been established with indigenous SME companies including Creganna-Tactyx Medical, Procure, Ovagen, Proxy Biomedical, Ziel Biopharma and EnBIO. Speaking about his vision for the Regenerative Medicine Institute, Director of REMEDI, Professor Tim O'Brien said: "REMEDI's vision is to develop a new and realisable paradigm for medicine in the future utilising minimally invasive therapeutic approaches to promote organ and tissue repair and regeneration. Our goal is to undertake basic research in stem cell biology and to translate the outputs into new regenerative therapies. To achieve this, REMEDI will work with partners in hospitals which are members of the Irish Clinical Research Infrastructure Network, in Irish and overseas universities, and in industry, to translate and commercialise research outputs by developing regenerative medicine therapies for diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis." In addition to today's funding from Science Foundation Ireland, REMEDI has also had recent success in securing EU research funding for two projects to develop new methods for the treatment of osteoarthritis using stem cell biology. -Ends-

CANCELLED: Public Lecture on Violence and Abuse Against People with Disabilities
Monday, 8 November 2010
CANCELLED Professor Hilary Brown of Canterbury Christ Church University will deliver the second lecture in the NUI Galway Centre for Disability Law and Policy s Annual Public Lecture Series. The topic of the evening s discussion will be 'Violence and Abuse Against People with Disabilities' and Professor Brown s lecture will be followed by an open question and answer session. The event will take place on Thursday, 11 November, at 6pm in Room MY129, Áras Moyola. Professor Hilary Brown has a background in learning disability services with a particular focus on issues of abuse and disability rights. During the late 80 s and early 90 s, she was employed by South East Thames Regional Health Authority as part of the team responsible for supporting the transition from institutions to community based models of care. During this time she also developed training on sexuality for people working in learning disability services and became alert to issues of sexual abuse and abusing which later became the focus of her research. She has produced several important pieces of research in this area in recent years, including a literature review on abuse of disabled people for the National Disability Authority of Ireland in 2006. The Director of the Centre for Disability Law and Policy, Professor Gerard Quinn, said, "In the wake of a number reports in recent years, such as the Ryan Report, which highlighted the extent of abuse of people with disabilities, it is important to think constructively about ways forward which can prevent similar abuse from reoccurring. This public lecture will highlight how law and policy can address these issues in an effective manner." This lecture will be an opportunity to reflect on current issues facing people with disabilities, families and carers, service providers and policy-makers in Ireland and abroad and should be of interest to all those who wish to promote the rights of people with disabilities and other marginalised communities in Ireland. The 2010-2011 Centre for Disability Law and Policy s Annual Public Lecture Series is a sequence of four lectures taking place throughout the academic year which focus on topics of interest to people with disabilities, families and carers. The lecture is open to all members of the public. Refreshments will be served following the lecture. To attend please contact Eileen Glynn in the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at firstname.lastname@example.com. -Ends-

Applied Maths Teachers' Conference at NUI Galway
Monday, 8 November 2010
NUI Galway will host the 2010 Applied Maths Teachers' Association (IAMTA) Conference and Annual General Meeting on Saturday, 13 November. The conference is particularly timely considering the significant changes underway in school mathematics due to the introduction of the new project Maths curriculum. The conference will consist of a series of panel discussions and keynote addresses, giving teachers of applied maths the opportunity to explore current issues and future directions of the subject in schools. Bill Lynch, the Director of the National Council of Curriculum and Assessment, who has overseen the introduction of Project Maths will be on a panel, together with P J Rudden, a highly distinguished engineer with a very real stake and insight into how maths is used by people who want to improve Irish society. Other panellists include Dean of Science, Professor Tom Sherry, an applied mathematician in NUI Galway, Piaras ó hEachteirn, the head of Civil Engineering in NUI Galway and Peter Doyle from Actuaries Ireland. "Applied mathematics, the school subject, is not so well understood by the general public. Although only 1500 students take the exam in applied maths, there is no subject on the current Irish curriculum which better equips students to think like mathematical problem solvers. Students who have taken applied maths have a head start adapting to third level", says Dr Kevin Jennings, mathematician and Co-Director of BA in Mathematics and Education at NUI Galway. The new maths curriculum will bring challenges to applied maths teachers, who will have to adapt their teaching to the students' new skillsets. However, the maths reform will hopefully encourage more and more students to take this fascinating subject. Many students study the subject outside of regular class time; in Galway City only St Patrick's Patrician School (the Bish) offers the subject within regular class hours. Mr Brendan Doheny from the Bish was awarded the Victor Graham trophy in 2009 for excellence in teaching applied maths. The conference will give teachers the space and time to reflect on applied maths and the concerns and challenges surrounding teaching it as well as the opportunities for the development of the subject into the future. Dr Jennings adds: "This conference is very important to promote applied mathematics and to plan for its future. Teachers from all over Ireland will be on campus that weekend to work on this. For us in the University it's a wonderful opportunity to work with our colleagues in the schools and to advise them of the diverse and interesting third and fourth level options available to their applied maths students." -Ends-

First Ever NUI Galway Community and Family Studies Degree Students Graduate
Thursday, 4 November 2010
A new degree programme in Community and Family Studies at NUI Galway is the first of its kind in Ireland where adult learners are given the opportunity to study community and family work policy and practice through the medium of distance learning. The first cycle of the four-year, part-time degree programme were recently awarded their Bachelor of Arts degrees during the Adult Education Graduation ceremony held at the University. The attainment of the Bachelor of Arts in Community and Family Studies marks a significant milestone for the NUI Galway Community Education Centre, who is a core component of Adult and Continuing Education in the University. Furthermore, the award of this degree is testament to the effort and commitment of the 45 students who recently graduated. Helen Casey and Deirdre Hardiman, Community Education Officers and programme managers of the BA in Community and Family studies highlighted the ever increasing significance of education in light of the fundamental challenges now facing both our economy and society, and more particularly the role of educational institutions in assisting communities to respond to these challenges. Helen Casey said: "Over the past 10 years or so, the NUI Galway Community Education Centre has actively supported community development and family support best practice. This BA programme was therefore designed to meet identified needs in the community, and build on Adult Education's track record of community engagement and the promotion of life-long learning. Undoubtedly, the first graduates of this noteworthy programme will be the true agents of change in Irish society and beyond." Deirdre Hardiman added that: "The Community Education Centre are currently undertaking a four year impact assessment study of the first cycle of the degree programme which will be reviewing the impact of the programme to date from the student, community and programme management perspective. The findings of this study will indicate the impact that the BA in Community and Family Studies has produced in areas such as improving educational opportunities for these adult learners and fine tuning their employment skills which has caused a positive ripple effect in many communities over the last four years." Focussing on key areas such as community development, family support, youth work, childcare, health and general political and socio-economic studies, the BA in Community and Family Studies seeks to respond to the requirements of our ever changing society, and also to the requirements of a broad spectrum of adult learners seeking recognised qualifications in formal education. Further information on this innovative, adult friendly programme is available from the Community Education Centre at 091 495241 or http://www.nuigalway.ie/courses/adult-and-continuing-education-courses/community-family-studies.html. -Ends-

The season is still nearly two months away, but three members of the Wisconsin football team are already in the running for national player of the year honors.
The backfield trio of junior running back Montee Ball, sophomore running back James White and senior quarterback Russell Wilson each were named to the preseason watch list for the 2011 Maxwell Award this week.
The award, which is presented annually to the top player in college football, released an initial list of 66 players. With its trio, UW ties for the most representatives of any program in the nation, joining Arkansas, South Carolina and Texas A&M.
In all, 10 players from the Big Ten made the initial cut, with Michigan State (QB Kirk Cousins and RB Edwin Baker) the only other league team to have multiple representatives on the list.
The Maxwell Award went to Auburn quarterback Cam Newton in 2010.
Former Badger Ron Dayne is the only UW player to claim the honor, which he did as a senior in 1999 as part of an awards season that also saw him win the Heisman Trophy, Walter Camp Player of the Year Award and Doak Walker Award.
Ball is coming off a breakout season in 2010 that saw him rush for 996 yards -- at an average of 6.1 per carry -- and 18 touchdowns. As a freshman, White was the Badgers' leading rusher and finished the season with 1,052 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Wilson, a transfer from North Carolina State, threw for 3,563 yards and 28 touchdowns last season in leading the Wolfpack to a 9-4 record and win over West Virginia in the Champs Sports Bowl.
