U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is the largest investigative agency in the Department of Homeland Security. ICE HSI enforces a wide array of laws, including those related to financial crime, trade fraud, counterfeiting and cash smuggling.
In recent years, the smuggling of bulk currency has become a preferred method for drug trafficking organizations and other criminal enterprises to move illicit proceeds across our borders.
Congress criminalized the act of smuggling large amounts of cash as part of the PATRIOT Act.
Bulk Cash Smuggling is a reporting offense under the Bank Secrecy Act, and is part of the United States Code (U.S.C.). The code stipulates:
Whoever, with the intent to evade a currency reporting requirement, knowingly conceals more than $10,000 in currency or other monetary instruments on the person of such individual or in any conveyance, article of luggage, merchandise, or other container, and transports or transfers or attempts to transport or transfer such currency or monetary instruments from a place within the United States to a place outside of the United States, or from a place outside the United States to a place within the United States, shall be guilty of a currency smuggling offense.
Not necessarily. The statute that governs bulk cash smuggling does require proof that a suspect intended to cross the border. However, criminal organizations rely on complex transportation and smuggling networks to move and launder their illicit proceeds.
For example, bulk cash intended for a drug trafficking organization in Colombia may begin its journey in Philadelphia, Pa., and travel through many locations, along several routes, before arriving at the border. Those same proceeds may then move through Mexico, Panama or other countries before arriving at their destination.
ICE HSI has broad authority to investigate these criminal networks, and may rely on other financial and criminal statutes, to prosecute violators and seize assets at the border, within the United States and internationally.
Title 31 U.S.C. § 5332 (Bulk Cash Smuggling) makes it a crime to smuggle or attempt to smuggle more than $10,000 in currency or monetary instruments into or out of the United States, with the specific intent to evade the U.S. currency reporting requirements codified in Title 31 U.S.C. §§ 5316 and 5317.
ICE HSI relies on other financial authorities granted under Title 31 U.S.C. (Money and Finance), specifically those related to violations of reporting requirements and structuring financial transactions, as well as criminal authorities, such as Title 18 U.S.C. § 1960 (Unlicensed Money Transporter/Transmitter), Title 18 U.S.C. § 1952 (Interstate and Foreign Travel or Transportation in Aid of Racketeering Enterprises) and Title 18 U.S.C. § 1956 (Money Laundering). These authorities allow ICE HSI to disrupt and dismantle criminal networks that move bulk cash, wherever they may operate.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website, you may bring into or take out of the country, including by mail, as much money as you wish. However, if you are transporting more than $10,000, you will need to report it to CBP. Ask the nearest CBP officer for the Report of International Transportation of Currency or Monetary Instruments (FinCEN Form 105). The penalties for non-compliance can be severe.
Monetary instruments are financial instruments that can be used similarly to cash. Specifically, monetary instruments are defined on the second or reverse side of the FinCEN Form 105:
Monetary instruments do not include the following:
According to Title 31 U.S.C. § 5332, the penalties for bulk cash smuggling could include:
Criminal organizations smuggle bulk cash to keep their proceeds and related activities away from the scrutiny of financial regulators and law enforcement agencies.
The United States has the most advanced and comprehensive anti-money laundering and financial regulatory framework in the world. Financial transaction reports assist investigators with flagging potential criminal activity, identifying criminally derived assets and disrupting criminal financial flows.
Every year, hundreds of people try to smuggle more than $10,000 across U.S. borders in order to avoid reporting requirements. In fiscal year 2013 alone, ICE HSI special agents arrested over 520 individuals who were attempting to smuggle currency and seized more than $59 million in bulk currency or monetary instruments.
Bulk cash smuggling damages our economy by removing billions of dollars from the commerce of the United States. Those dollars could otherwise be used to purchase goods, pay taxes, or invest in lawful enterprises.
It also diminishes the integrity of our financial system by promoting an unregulated, unreported and underground market for illicit goods and services.
It fuels criminal enterprises that traffic in illicit drugs, engage in violent crime against persons and property, fund terrorism and extremist groups, engage in human trafficking and smuggling and commit commercial fraud.
To report suspected bulk cash smuggling or illicit currency transportation, individuals should contact the National Bulk Cash Smuggling Center (BCSC) by using the BCSC Tip Form or by calling 1-866-DHS-2-ICE.

Chapter 1, House of Hades (www.rickriordan.com)This is the real, first chapter of the new book, that has yet to be released, The House of Hades.http://www.rickriordan.com/Files/Documents/HouseofHades_chapter%20one.pdf
Percabeth DrabblesSurfing Annabeth bit her lip. "Percy, are you sure this is a good idea?" "Yeah, why wouldn't it be? You've got great balance." She could think of no reply. "Oh, come on," Percy said, readjusting the surfboard under his arm. "The Annabeth Chase I know can accomplish anything she sets her genius mind to." That strengthened her resolve. "Let's do it." But surfing was no where near as easy as she'd thought. Percy kept the waves calm, letting Annabeth get used to the feel of the board beneath her, instructing her on how to get on her feet and position her body. Sure, she had great balance, like Percy said, but surfing was like trying to run on a waterbed. She managed to keep her feet under her for about ten seconds before she fell. She surfaced to find Percy struggling to contain his laughter. His green eyes glittered with amusement. Annabeth nar
ExcusesIt'd sting. At first I couldn't quite make out what I was feeling, what the sudden butterflies in my stomach, boiling anger, and urge to punch something meant. All I knew was that, whichever feeling that was, I didn't like it.Knowing that Annabeth had spent an important and significant part of her life running away with Thalia and Luke made me feel strangely left out from everything, as if I'd jumped into their story in the middle of it and started awkwardly meddling with it – which I kind of had done, anyway. Still, the way Annabeth closed herself up whenever the subject was brought up left an unspoken I don't want to tell you vibe in the air. It made me feel even more left out.And it made me angry. Annabeth kept saying Luke wasn't a bad guy, and that I couldn't see it because I hadn't had the time to get to know him for real like she had. She expected me to understand why she trusted him, yet she wouldn't tel
Musings from an Empty HouseSally had never heard silence this loud.She was no stranger to Silence. Sally and Silence had been acquaintances ever since her childhood, in Uncle Rich's house.That had been the worst part about living with Uncle Rich, back when she lived with him.It wasn't that Uncle Rich neglected her. No, he was the best uncle Sally ever knew. But his job as an accountant kept him busy for long hours, and so whenever Sally was not at school or the library her days were filled with oppressive silence, broken only by the turning of pages or the hum of the refrigerator. Her uncle wasn't rich by any means of the word, and he couldn't afford to buy Sally a radio, or one of the new music players that were the rage, and the old, broken television in the family room only had a sports channel and news channel.So, every afternoon and every evening, Sally could be found devouring book after book, thumbing through her old paperbacks or gleefully relishing a crisp library copy
Camp Halfblood ChristmasMerry Christmas dad!Uh... not even sure if Greek Gods celebrate Christmas... but...

I wondered how busy Hermes was on Christmas... probably about as busy as a cashier during a sedge.A knock on the door startled me, and I capped Riptide quickly."Who is it?" I called, looking over my shoulder."Who else would it be, Seaweed brain!" The shout confirmed what I thought.I walk over and open the door to Annabeth, bundled up in jackets, her breath steaming out in front of her."Uh... do you want to come in?" I asked, seeing her shiver."Y-yes. That would probably help me not ge
Three Insomniacs(Warning HOH spoilers) The Argo II swayed back and forth as it passed over the waves. It was so nice, even Hazel was undisturbed by the ocean. The peacefulness was quite strange compared to the events earlier that day, but it was a much welcomed change in pace. Percy sat on the deck staring at the stars and remembering the "foes" who bared arms to the Doors of Death. He should be exhausted after escaping tartarus, but he had only slept a few hours before he had woken up and found himself unable to go back to sleep. He felt better because of those few hours, but he knew he still needed the rest. No matter how hard he tried, it was impossible to sleep with all the thoughts in his head. A loud crash suddenly broke the silence of the night. On instinct, Percy unsheathed Riptide and positioned himself into a fighting stance. One upside of falling into a giant pit and facing countless monsters is that for the rest of you'll life you'll be prepared for anything.
Happy For You - Nico/Bianca FanficHappy For YouPairing : di Angelo siblings (BianCo)Rated : K+/PG-13Disclaimer : PJO-HOO (c) Rick Riordan, fanfic (c) meNo warning(s)...It is a usual afternoon in New York And at the time like this, The Son of Hades, Nico di Angelo, usually take a walk in the city, just to waste his time and enjoy his day.He walks slowly, tries to enjoy the breeze of wind which comes from the east, until a loud voice from a girl (yeah, hes voice) catches his attention.He turns his head a little and then he sees a family; a father, a mother and their daughter, standing in front of a sport shop across the road where Nico stands.The daughter, her age maybe around 9 or 10, Nico's not sure about that, is quite pretty and she has a long, silky, dark, straight hair which she braids them neatly, and she wears a silver headband on her head. She has olive skin and she also has a splash of freckles across her nose.She looks so energetic and her finger is pointing at a
Moving On"You shouldn't have done that," she said, as they walked down the street. They passed a row of empty storefronts, and Nico steadily avoided her gaze by peering into the semi-reflective display windows. Looking one way, he could see beyond the glass, where there were dark rooms littered with packing foam, scraps of paper, and other remnants of the previous owners. Looking the other way, he saw his own scowling reflection. His skin was deathly pale, like always, his black hair was growing out a little more than he'd intended for it to, and was now covering one of his dark brown eyes. Usually he would have been annoyed by it, but today he was grateful, since it helpfully concealed his new bruise. It would be a black eye by tomorrow, too big to cover up, but he'd have an excuse by then. One that hopefully wouldn't get him or his sister Hazel into too much trouble. Not that they should be in any trouble anyways, those idiots had obviously started it.His scowl deepened as he recalled what e
Super short this boy is on fire extra Leo banged Festus' head with his wrench, wondering why Festus wasn't working. Piper and Jason grouped around him since they had nothing better to do and it was there turn as watch. Nothing had happened in the past 15 minutes so they weren't so worried. Leo hummed to himself softly as he felt around the head, not noticing anything wrong. Why wasn't Festus up? Finally, in frustration, Leo whacked Festus in the head with a wrench he pulled from his belt. They all heard a snort and looked. Festus was awake! "THIS BOY IS ON FIRE!" suddenly burst from Leo's mouth, making Piper and Jason jump back. "What was that!" Jason said, covering his now-tender ears.
BraveShe is fitful in her sleep. She tosses and turns beside him, under his scarred hand on her torn shoulder, and whimpers pitifully. Now that he thinks about it, this is the only time she has ever made any noise that can be considered pitiful. It kills him, completely and utterly. He wants to cry, and to keep himself from giving in, he blinks furiously and counts to one-hundred in Ancient Greek. It takes all of his concentration and by the time he accomplishes his goal, he is no longer fighting the tears. Briefly, he thinks of waking her, of bringing her out of the nightmare that causes her whole body to shake, but he can't. They have been in Tartarus for only the gods know how long and she has barely slept except for a few minutes here and there. She needs this rest more than anything, even if it is punctuated by nightmares. This is the longest they have been left in peace. No unearthly monsters

Farrell: Ross, Middlebooks 'day-to-day' after Tuesday collision
|05.08.13 at 3:06 pm ET
In his weekly appearance with WEEI's "Salk & Holley," Red Sox manager John Farrell said Wednesday afternoon that both catcher David Ross and third baseman Will Middlebrooks are "day-to-day" after their collision Tuesday night, but neither player appears to be the victim of a long-term injury.
"Both guys are day-to-day," Farrell said. "David Ross has come in today much improved. There's still some swelling. He's walking and able to get down in a catchers' stance or crouch without any discomfort — or I should say much less discomfort than he had when he came out of the game (Tuesday) night. He's not in the lineup today — it's just to give him another day of recovery for that. Will Middlebrooks, he's sore on the right side with those ribs. He's day-to-day. He's out of the lineup today as well. But I know Will has fought it a little but — he wants to be in the lineup, but it's more precautionary than anything. He's still a little sore. He went down to swing in the cage off the tee a little bit, some soft toss. He does feel it. But as far as the tests, the CT scan and all of that, there's no fractures, which is a positive. But we have to let this slow down a little bit."
Farrell said Middlebrooks is feeling it the most in his right side.
"The right rib cage," he said. "Basically, when they slid and collided (Tuesday) night, Will slid on his left side and almost got a little bit of whiplash when he slammed into the wall. Thankfully, it's padded, but still, he got banged up pretty good. In general, we're a little nicked up right now in a few areas, both in the relief corps, as we've seen in the transactions over the last couple of days, and then, (Tuesday) night's collision. But it doesn't look to be long term, and both guys are day-to-day.
"I had to go back and look at the replay, because from our vantage point, you're eye level is about ground level, standing in the dugout, and all you see is two guys coming together at full speed and then you hear some impact of the wall — you don't know what's taking place," he added. "With David Ross's situation, when he slid, the shin guard kind of peeled back a little bit because of the lining on it and it exposed the quad area — the lower left quad area, just above the kneecap — and that's where the impact took place. Again, stability tests were all fine with him. His knee is solid. It's just that he has a pretty good, deep bruise going on right now."

Add it to Critiki!
Humuhumu's description:
Trad'r Sam is the oldest, longest-operating tiki bar in the world. This small and very old bar actually pre-dates the appearance of actual tikis in tiki bars, and is an extremely rare example of the bamboo bars that were in some cities in the '30s. The bar has a series of seating areas around the perimeter of the bar which are each named after islands, and are framed in rattan. The bar itself is a large, horseshoe-shaped structure, also encrusted in rattan. There are tropical drinks available, but this bar is now more of a loveable dive than anything.
Cocktail enthusiasts shouldn't miss the world famous tequila destination bar across the street just a block and a half away, Tommy's Mexican Restaurant.
How to find it:
Trad'r Sam is between 25th & 26th Avenue, on the north side of Geary Blvd. Look for a green sign and awning.
Street parking is available, some of it metered.

Logo Request
Posted 23 July 2007 - 04:29 PM
Type of graphic (sig, avatar, banner): Logo
Colors: flame red/orange OR a liquid metal type look
Text: VigilCode
Pics : none
anything else:
Basically I'm looking for a logo with the text VigilCode to possibly use on a website. My only creative spark was to maybe use the O in the word "code" to be an eye. Picturing more of a bloodshot eye to signify staying up all night. For the size I'd say a typical logoish size would be fine, roughly 300x100.
Overall I want it to have a high tech feel (hence the liquid metal), maybe a background with 0's and 1's streaming, etc. I have no hard requirements but "VigilCode" will be code used to monitor systems for reliability and security. So for anyone who likes creative freedom with these types of guidelines please have a crack at this.. thanks.

its simple and cute (didnt mean to say that)
Posted 24 July 2007 - 01:00 AM
Hopefully this saying I just think I made up is true.
Keep in mind too that I honestly would use any of these as they are great but I'll try to use these as pro/con examples and maybe something more fitting will be produced.
For the first one that cowbell did, great, clean, with animation has a wow factor or coolness to it. But I'm thinking more of computer networks reliability and security and this makes me think of Grand Theft Auto so maybe would be great for a car security logo. I'd take this and try to make it more corporate classy less uhm whatever the opposite of that is. Maybe if bullet holes were replaced with a circuit board stamp kind of embossed on it.
Second one cowbell did, again impressive but too like a badge. In other words I'd have to be carefull what kind of background I put it on as with the cut off ropes or strings it could look weird or like it was missing the rest of it. Also don't like the rope or whatever running through the text cause it take a second now to process the work VigilCode and I need clear readability at a glance. This logo can be web page with animation but I'd also like to apply it to letterhead and a business card one day so it has to flexible and generally simple. I do like the crosshatch in the lettering of this one. Unique, classy, simple.
the one by Lil wilson, I agree simple and cute, which I like. I also like the grid lines as i see them on engineering technical papers and makes me think of precision which is good. I think the text is too small within the area though. I need this to be more text design with a subtle background that won't take away from the foreground.
Overall, great. If no more tries were made I'd be 100% better off than where I was. If more tries are coming then hopefully these responses hope me get closer to the unobtainable perfect logo that I'm sort of picturing but can't.
have fun with it!

This is probably the hardest way to create something for someone as I've given guidelines but nothing concrete. It's like you have creative freedom, but in a cage.

Marine Reef Habitat
Welcome Friends;
My name is Gerardo Ramos; I am an entrepreneur with a passion for marine biology, aquaculture, and marine life. For the last 20 years I have been involved in the marine aquarium business. For many years I had my own tropical fish store in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Today my focus is on marine aquaculture. I am the first coral farmer in Massachusetts.
For the last two years I have been re-planting the reefs around Puerto Rico. The trip to Puerto Rico is a yearly event where we teach the local people the importance of the reef and how to re-populate the reefs. This initial reef restoration is showing incredible success.
Here is a link to the news article about us in the Republican Newspaper.
The Problem:
The world's reefs are in danger and are being decimated by climate change, pollution, costal development; destructive fishing practices, coral mining as well as over collection.
Coral is collected by local fisherman for jewelry and reef aquarium hobbyist. Many fishermen are lured in by fast money and harvest marine life using poisons and physically destructive methods of harvesting coral.
We can stop this practice by eliminating the demand. Sound coral aquaculture farming and marine life breeding programs can be the first small step in reversing the manmade damage to our reefs.
Our Mission:
My vision is to grow coral in a greenhouse where coral can be reproduced to supply the demand and for re-introduction back to our damaged reefs.
Our mission is twofold, first is to provide the hobbyist with greenhouse grown coral. By growing coral and marine fish in a greenhouse, we can take a huge step in slowing the over collection issue.
This is our first step in reducing damage to our reefs and planet.
The second part of our plan is to replant the reefs damaged by this overharvesting, anchor damage from boats as well as damage from storms and pollution.
While our initial goal is to slow the collection of coral and marine fish from the wild, ultimately our goal is to restore reefs worldwide. We will accomplish this by setting aside 25% of what we grow to be grown into colonies that will be replanted on damaged reefs.
Our passion is for the worlds reefs and for our propagation program to work it is imperative to give back to the reefs that give us so much.
Your contributions will be used for the purchase of a greenhouse and equipment necessary to grow 150,000 coral fragments. There will be separate tanks for growing species from all over the world.
Marine Reef Habitat on PBS
Station WGBY, Making it Here
What We Do:
We start out by ordering coral that is collected from the wild. We make one purchase and propagate coral using a process called fragmentation. We take a colony and cut small fragments from the colony. We then grow these fragments into colonies which can be re-fragmented and grown into new colonies.
Step 1
Blank prepared for coral fragment
Step 2
New Coral Fragment Attached to Blank
Step 3
Three Month Old Coral Fragment
Step 3
Six Month Old Colony from 2 Polyp Fragment
What We Need:
$21,500 for 50' X 60' greenhouse
$19,751.49 for solar electricity, complete system and installation
$3,572.58 for concrete slab for greenhouse
$3,574.19 for radiant heating system and installation
$4,181.82 for 3 filter 5,000 gallon filtration systems,
$9,925.27 for 8 energy efficient water pumps
$1,522.88 for 3 controllers to control each system water parameters
$2,058.62 for 3 fiberglass tanks for 800 gal. sumps
$5,086.80 for 3 polyethylene tanks for fish breading and husbandry.
$1,358.75 for sump tank
$2,528.84 for 3 smaller round polyethylene tank for fish husbandry
$2035.00 for a industrial grade reverse osmosis water filtration system
$2,999.99 for 3 commercial protein skimmers
$3,295.21 for 3 1 1/2 hp, chiller 3
$ 8,200.00 for lumber for tanks, shade cloth aquaculture safe paint and misc supplies
$3,998.79 for backup generator to prevent coral loss during possible power outages
6,000.00 for LED lighting to supplement in the winter months.
The greenhouse will be powered and heated by solar panels. Solar heating and electricity generation costs more to set up but it will eliminate the heating and electricity costs allowing us to produce coral economically with no carbon footprint.
We need to place the greenhouse on a concrete slab which will have radiant heating system in the slab. While we will depend on solar energy we will not be off the grid, we need back up to assure the health and safety of our coral.
We will build the tanks and set up the plumbing and filtration systems ourselves saving thousands of dollars on commercially produced tanks.
Our goal is to produce coral economically as possible; this is why we choose a greenhouse. We will only need lighting for a couple of hours a day in the winter. Coral needs light to survive and we can reproduce natural lighting conditions in a greenhouse.
We cannot do this without your help!
With this campaign I am asking for your help on my coral preservation project. I am bringing my project to crowd funding as the banks have turned down my proposals. The banks do not see this profitable venture.
Our reefs are in danger, many say the situation is critical. Global warming is raising the oceans temperature, causing bleaching of coral. Silt and fertilizer run off is burying coral or causing algae blooms that cover the coral and deprive it of the sunlight it needs to survive. Boats running into reefs or anchor damage and destructive fishing practices threaten the reefs daily.
The area where we can step in to start the reversal of the trend of destruction is with the over collection aspect. Many have suggested that making the import of coral illegal as a way to stop the over collection. This is not an answer it would create a bigger problem. Prices for coral will rise due to demand and in turn fuel the black market. Local fisherman will poach the coral and use more destructive methods of harvesting as they need to collect as much coral as possible quickly so they don't get caught.
The only viable solution is aqua cultured coral. In time we can supply the demand, therefore reducing the demand for wild coral. When harvesting wild coral is not profitable the collection will stop.
This is our first step towards this goal of stopping over collection and the destructive harvesting methods used.
Please consider helping with this vital campaign, a healthy reef system is important for our oceans health.
Please share our campaign with friends and like us on Facebook.
Thank you for taking the time to view our project and we are grateful for your support.
We have four contribution levels; Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. All supporters will have thier names proudly displayed on the wall of the greenhouse and on the web site. We will also thank each contributer on our Facebook page.

Manufacturer: Reinsman (View all products by Reinsman)
Model: Leather / Cordura Trail (View all Leather / Cordura Trail reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought this at a local well known tack shop that carried a couple big name brands. I bought it to trail ride my, at the time, 9 year old Thoroughbred gelding, and keep as a training saddle. I paid $599.00 plus tax.
Likes: I like that it's lightweight and still has good, quality leather on it. It's not a very expensive saddle, so it makes a good trail saddle. The stirrup fenders don't bind up and are very comfortable. It's more secure then a lot of other western saddles. I like that the seat it rough-out for a secure seat.
Dislikes: The seat may seam like it needs broken in when you first buy it new. The more riding you do in it, the harder the seat gets!! I'm about to purchase a gel seat saver for it to compensate. I wish the front D-rings (for breast collar) were better made. Mine have not ripped off just yet, but it's showing some wear. It'd be nice if the saddle came in different colors. I hate the felt on the underside of the saddle!! I guess they had to cheap out somewhere instead of putting fleece. This saddle is just barely above Big Horn of a similar saddle. At least a Big horn is more comfy! Saddle is OVERPRICED for what you get!
Quality: The saddle don't seem too badly built. But for the price paid, it could be way better. It's an embarrassment to Reinsman, in my opinion. Overall, it's a good saddle, don't get me wrong, but it's a rip-off. Also needs a better seat design and more padding since it's a "trail" saddle. My rough-out seat is already fading fast, and stains easily - And that's only after 3 months of riding, if that!
Summary: This is a so-so trail saddle. It's built as well as any of it's competition, but lacking performance and seat comfort.

Although an Associated Press-Univision poll last year reported that 87 percent of Hispanics value higher education, Hispanic students comprise 12.7 percent of America's college graduates, according to the 2009 American Community Survey. Twenty-two percent of Hispanics have attended some college.
Many factors contribute to the gap between value and attainment, the AP reports -- money, familial duties, lack of support. And the challenges can continue once Latino students arrive at college. Finding a niche, and a cultural identity, can be difficult for Hispanics, as many college campuses don't reflect the diversity of America. As student Esteban L. Hernandez writes of his first day at the University of Colorado: "That first class was all adrenaline. I sat bewildered. I think I looked around the giant room more often than I did at the speaking professor. My eyes were probing for a familiar hue; I felt like the only brown face in a colossal room teeming with eager freshmen."
Below, read eight Hispanic students' stories of exploration and achievement at college. Do you have a story to share? Post it in the comments section.
My parents, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico in the 1980s, never received the opportunity to attend college, so I relied completely on the stories of high school teachers to get a sense of how this college business worked. When the time came to utilize this knowledge, I stumbled. Read more...
Upon arrival at school, I loved how different it was. This new place was invigorating; for a chatterbox like me, non-stop icebreaking was a blast. Eventually, though, I did miss the comforts of home. I missed the constant stream of rice and beans that was nearly IV-ed to me throughout the previous 18 years of my life. I missed hearing at least one salsa or reggeaton song at every party. I missed my overly affectionate mom. I missed fried Cuban food and the people who craved it alongside me. I realized there were some words I rarely even said in English during regular conversation -- a hair tie for me was always a liga, a stuffed animal was nothing other than a peluche, and a latte was always just a café con leche. My roommate and I compromised with the latter... we call it coffee milk. Read more...
I realized what I wanted to do for the rest of my life one evening in the sixth grade. It took a single viewing of a half-hour nightly newscast to convince me that I wanted to be a journalist one day. Nine years later I am still pursuing that exact same dream at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. The only difference between the aspiring journalist I was when I was ten and the aspiring journalist I am now is my full understanding of what it means to be a Latina. Read more...
"But you don't look Hispanic." By now, I'm quite used to hearing those words. The name "Lesley Ryder" doesn't scream "Puerto Rican/Mexican," but I assure you, I am very Hispanic. I grew up in Brooklyn, the daughter of divorced parents with my awesome older sister, Stephanie. I recently graduated from Hamilton College, a small liberal arts institution atop a beautiful hill in Clinton, NY. Compared to my high school, Hamilton felt like another planet. I went to Midwood, a New Deal-era building bursting at the seams with about 3,800 students. Hamilton's 1,300 acres for 1,800 students was a welcomed change. Read more...
I stood with my mother, at the age of six, in a line that extended beyond the doors of El Salvador's military hospital. We were at the mercy of physicians that weighed each infant's chance of survival and decided who would receive treatment. This experience spurred me to go to college to become an M.D. and help children like the surgeons who operated on my brother's cleft palate. This May, 15 years after my family moved from El Salvador to the U.S., I graduated from Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY with a B.S. in biomedical science and Spanish. Read more...
Given my last name, you might assume I'm Hispanic and an advocate of minority support programs. Although the former is true (I am a Florida-born Cuban American), I was initially very opposed to the much debated DREAM Act - better known as the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors. Currently a resident and student in Florida -- ranked third in the nation for undocumented immigrants at 3.8 percent of the population -- I strongly believed that providing economic support to other students who resided illegally in this country was not fair or right. As a U.S. citizen born of Hispanic parents, I followed the rules and worked hard to earn a college degree. I believed undocumented students who, after all, are illegally in the country had no right to reap the same benefits that I worked so hard for. But, the Senate Judiciary hearing that took place last month completely changed my mind. It was Texas Sen. John Cornyn's assumptions about immigrants, and flawed interpretation of the act, that bothered me the most. In no uncertain terms, he began to suggest that those who may have misdemeanor charges could be eligible. Just by suggesting a relationship between criminal acts and eligible students, I decided then to read the act more carefully, and follow the debate with a more critical eye. Read more...
I have grown up immersed in the American lifestyle but also cherish my Colombian background. When it came to heading off to college, my parents worked hard to make that moment possible for me. It was bittersweet leaving my home in New Jersey to attend the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., because I absolutely loved my home and the closeness of my family, but I felt that I needed to attend college away from it to experience life on my own. Read more...
College is when you start to figure out who you are, who you want to be, and, hopefully, how you can bridge the gap between the two. Once at Yale, I realized that I was missing, or rather subduing, something that was vital to my being: my culture. It was then that I got involved in La Casa Cultural, the Latino/a center on campus, through Despierta Boricua (the Puerto Rican student group) and Alianza (the Pan-Latin student group). There I met students like me, I heard the sounds of my culture being spoken by mouths similar to my own, and I was able to finally relate being Latina to who I was and where I wanted to be. I was able to create my own culture by combining the Puerto Rican traditions I had experience growing up with those the other Puerto Rican students told me about as well as with those that I learned from the Mexican, Colombian, Dominican, and Venezuelan students who I grew to know.

I find it strange that no one is talking about the fact that Dave Hansen left the state. When we needed our public officials in Madison to discuss significant changes to our state, he left. Does no one remember this? I found it shameful for our public officials to just get up and leave to avoid debating the issues. We elect them to fight for us, not run for us. He has shown that his true constituents sit on the left side of the aisle with him in Madison, not at home here in Green Bay. This election cycle, I will not be voting for Dave Hansen. I'm voting Macco for Senate!

1And afterwards Mosheh and Aharon went in and said to Pharaoh, "Thus said יהוה Elohim of Yisra'ĕl, 'Let My people go, so that they keep a festival to Me in the wilderness.' "
2And Pharaoh said, "Who is יהוה, that I should obey His voice to let Yisra'ĕl go? I do not know יהוה, nor am I going to let Yisra'ĕl go."
3And they said, "The Elohim of the Heḇrews has met with us. Please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness and slaughter to יהוה our Elohim, lest He fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."
4But the sovereign of Mitsrayim said to them, "Mosheh and Aharon, why do you take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens."
5And Pharaoh said, "See, the people of the land are many now, and you make them cease from their burdens!"
6And the same day Pharaoh commanded the slave-drivers of the people and their foremen, saying,
7"You are no longer to give the people straw to make bricks as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8"And lay on them the required amount of bricks which they made before, do not diminish it. For they are idle, that is why they cry out, saying, 'Let us go and slaughter to our Elohim.'
9"Let more work be laid on the men, so that they labour in it, and not pay attention to words of falsehood."
10And the slave-drivers of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, "Thus said Pharaoh, 'I do not give you straw.
11'Go, take straw for yourselves, wherever you find it, for your work shall not be diminished.' "
12And the people were scattered in all the land of Mitsrayim – to gather stubble for straw.
13And the slave-drivers were hurrying them on, saying, "Complete your work, your daily amount, as when there was straw."
14Also the foremen of the children of Yisra'ĕl, whom Pharaoh's slave-drivers had set over them, were beaten and were asked, "Why have you not completed your task in making bricks both yesterday and today, as before?"
15And the foremen of the children of Yisra'ĕl came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you treat your servants this way?
16"There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, 'Make bricks!' And see, your servants are beaten, but your own people are at fault."
17But he said, "You are idle! You are idle! That is why you say, 'Let us go and slaughter to יהוה.'
18"So now go, work. And straw is not given to you, but deliver the amount of bricks."
19And the foremen of the children of Yisra'ĕl saw that they were in trouble after it was said, "You are not to diminish your daily amount of bricks."
20And when they came out from Pharaoh, they met Mosheh and Aharon who stood there to meet them.
21And they said to them, "Let יהוה look on you and judge, because you have made us loathsome in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, to give a sword in their hand to kill us."
22And Mosheh returned to יהוה and said, "יהוה, why have You done evil to this people? Why did You send me?
23"For ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people. And You have not delivered Your people at all."

racing wednesday nights is my training?
fried chicken and waffles.
Vance, How long do you cook your ribs? (I know, off topic, but crucial questions!) I tried some in my new PBC this weekend and they feel off the hook. Could it be that the wattage supplied by the combustion in the bottom bracket was too much for the interaction between the frame hook and the meat? (Notice the sly the sprinting analogy hidden in that sentence).
Oof. Did threshold intervals last Sunday. Did a ripping fast crit that included some traveling pros on Tuesday. Did season's first track races on Thursday. Raced a circuit race and time trial on Saturday. Raced a crit on Monday.
I'm ****ing exhausted.
But I'm feeling fast and strong.
Upper body and core strength workout last night. Strength training plus grilling =

my fat butt was able to get a 3 upgrade in a 3/4 field... so you can do it too. you have a much bigger sprint than i do.
getting my 2 might take a while but i'm not in a rush. track racing is just for funsies so i can eat a burrito after.

fried chicken and waffles.
Training status: School out, no job. GAME ON!
all bets are off with like 3 to go, though.
in road sprints, using energy in the final kilometer before the sprint has been one of the most difficult things for me to learn...
I finally brought my weights to the apartment. They had been sitting in the barn in the country. I set up the barbell as 80 LBS, including bar. Did some squats and a few lifts. What is it called when you lift it above your head in front of your face? Been doing push-ups for a week or two.
I've been increasing the gear on my track bike. Yesterday it was 46x15. Today it was 46x14.
Ill go to the races tomorrow night. These will be my first official track races. I'm psyched. I'm in it to see how I do, not to win. I'll probably come in last place, and that's cool. The first thing to do is enter.
I feel woefully inadequate. --@KonAaron Snake

Its the road racing mentality. Everyone's advice to a new racer is always, always the same. Stay near the front but do no work. What happens when everyone tries this? A slow boring pace that reminds me of a sunday group ride to the donut shop.
anyway...training status. Lots of time on my TT bike, lots of 3-5min intervals. Basically on a mission to take every flat strava KOM around here lol. I just signed up for the Midwest Challenge at Indy in...less than 3 weeks! Ugh. Doing the 1k and 4k, no idea where I will land. My only times are an indoor 138m wood vs the outdoor 333m concrete, so who knows. Looking forward to the nice soft banking though, no 50deg neck destroyers.
there are a couple 1/2 sprinters in the field here at hellyer (garret hankins, raul arias, david mccook) and they can shut down gaps on their own and have enough juice to lay down a massive sprint. also one of them actually lapped the 1/2 field a couple weeks ago.
also a couple weeks ago they held a sprint ladder in between the mass starts. my friend ended up beating every match sprinter specialist and winning the 1/2 omnium. There were a few rounds where he had to match sprint and do a mass sprint right after.
fried chicken and waffles.
fried chicken and waffles.
Squatted in the ballpark of my old 80% rep work with 150kg 5x3 this evening, and smoked my 500 time(and then matched it 5 more times) the day prior. Good week so far!
So at our very mildly banked, converted racecar track(3-5 degrees) I find it harder and harder to maintain a line as I get faster. It's also an odd shape. Two very small straightaways but dominated mostly by big looping turns. Is it faster to let the bike go wider, or lean in harder and stay on the line??
Got to t-town today just in time for a massive thunderstorm to roll through, which meant it was burrito time instead of race time. I was looking forward to trying to steal some points in the pro/am before the international guys come. Hopefully I can get some track time in tomorrow at kissena.

About Asociación ASDIRASDIR (Asociación de Desarrollo Integral Rural - Association for the Development of Rural Communities) is a community-based organization that works to promote development in the villages and communities where it serves.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Huff Run Watershed Restoration Partnership hosted four Awareness Day field trips for four local school districts during the month of May.
A total of about 400 students participated in the field trips to learn about the Huff Run Watershed and why it is important for Huff Run to do restoration work.
Students came from Bowerston Elementary, Sandy Valley Middle School, Bell-Herron Middle School and Tuscarawas Valley Middle School.
Assistance for this year's Awareness Day field trips was provided by volunteers from the Ohio Division of Natural Resources, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Carroll Soil and Water, Tuscarawas County Public Health Department, Rural Action and Sandy Valley High, as well as from area township trustees and watershed members.
The Sunday Creek Watershed and the Carroll and Tuscarawas Soil and Water Conservancy Districts also provided assistance in the form of supply donations.
Funding for the Awareness Day Program was provided by the Muskingum Watershed Conservation District's Partners in Watershed Management Grant. Donations were given to sponsor the volunteer lunches for each of the field trips.

Employment Imbroglio
Byline: Alfred Tella, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The debate is heating up over which of the government's two employment series tells the right story.
Every month the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports on total civilian employment collected by household survey and on payroll jobs collected by employer survey. The payroll count, now about 7 percent smaller than total employment, does not include the non-incorporated self employed, agricultural workers, private household and unpaid family workers, and workers absent without pay.
During the current economic expansion, which started in late 2001, total employment has grown by more than 3.9 million more than payroll jobs. That excess holds even when household employment numbers are adjusted to be consistent with the definition of payroll jobs. Of late, the gap between the two series has been widening. The BLS has yet to pinpoint the sources of the discrepancy.
Last month total employment grew by 437,000 (which passed the BLS test of statistical significance) while payroll jobs rose by only 92,000. In September, total employment grew by 123,000 more than payroll jobs. The BLS also recently reported that early next year the payroll count will be increased by an estimated 810,000 for March 2006, based on the results of its annual benchmark revision to the jobs data. This is an unusually large adjustment, about 70 percent greater than the next largest annual revision in the last decade. (That was in 2000 when payrolls were revised upward by 468,000.) Although the latest benchmark revision will close some of the gap between the total employment and the jobs data, a substantial difference will remain.
The annual benchmark revisions to the jobs data since 1996 have resulted in both upward and downward adjustments to the payroll count. In each of the five years from 1996 to 2000 the job totals were revised upward, and in four of the next five years the data were revised downward. This suggests a pattern.
If there is a systematic bias that causes upward or downward revisions to occur in runs, the latest sizable upward adjustment to the payroll count augers well for another upward revision in the jobs data for March 2007.
As former Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers N. Gregory Mankiw has aptly noted, those who have used the faster-growing household employment data in recent years to assess the economy have often been seen as politically motivated. Perhaps this is not surprising considering the BLS features the payroll data in its press releases and that such high-level interpreters of the economic situation as the Federal Reserve chairman and the CEA have shown preference for the payroll job numbers over the total employment data. …

Gabriel Mbusya
I Hear A Voice… - Poem by Gabriel Mbusya
I hear soft voice calling my name,
From the fields off the stream,
But I have been there,
And there was nobody;
Except sparse acacia, marigold flowers,
wild tulips and silence.
But echo reaches again,
Like ghost hands in a delusion;
Distress carried by wind fall
Asking if patience was my other name
But I sit by the river, with shinny
gaggling water,
turning golden in the setting sun,
the leaves of wild trees
whispering down at tear faced child of night,
pleading with the wind to take me home.
I hear a lonely voice solicit me
To go to places in search of
A stranger to hold hands with,
In rustle of turning pages;
somebody writing my name on a cherry dairy,
In dancing shadows of Lantern;
In whose bosom I hear,
noise of strumming guitar preparing for music,
I reckon it will be bliss
And I prepare to wait.
I hear noise on a long corridor,
Doors opening one after the other,
With pauses and clicks,
A sensation of somebody holding mystery keys,
looking for me…
And lighting candle burning by the table,
in front of sea side,
with clouds floating above the dark-blue water,
From which a voice calls my name
Asking if passion was place I knew
Then sudden laughter shakes the sash of the window
And breaks the panes with massage.
I hear dream coming to break a party
And voice calling above rattle of bells
Persisting that I give myself to the wind,
To be lulled in memento of fantasy and sacrifice,
A voice in search for belonging
Sounding like rubbing
Wings of Cherubim
And I feel in presence of star-light night,
tender hands grapple to touch my lips,
A muffled noise of cart
driven by white horses towards the local chapel.

FAIRBANKS (AP) — The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is forecasting strong auroras visible in northern Alaska and parts of Canada at the end of this week, and some of that activity could be due to changes in the sun's magnetic field.
The sun will undergo a magnetic flip over the next few months. This happens every 11 years, but KUAC reported scientists have been able to monitor what happens at the solar poles only since the 1970s.
FAIRBANKS, (AP) — The world's boreal forests, which stretch from interior Alaska to the Atlantic Ocean and span regions of Russia and Scandinavia, are burning at a rate considered historically unprecedented, according to a new study of the Yukon Flats region.
Researchers concluded fire rates would likely continue to grow in the future, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported.
The study was published last week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences.
FAIRBANKS (AP) — On the heels of the George Zimmerman trial in Florida, Alaska's own "stand your ground" law goes into effect in September.
The law allows deadly force in self-defense when a person could otherwise safely leave an altercation.
Opponents argue it encourages unnecessary violence, The Fairbanks News-Miner reported in Sunday's newspaper. But the law's supporters say it ensures people won't have to second-guess themselves in dangerous situations.
JUNEAU (AP) — This part of summer is a time for patriotism. It's also the time new state laws go into effect across the nation.
Fiscal years begin July 1 on most financial calendars, and a slew of state government spending regulations kick in each year on that date. Policy laws also hit the books in a wave, though states often mark their independence by enacting such legislation on their own time.
LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw outpitched Tim Lincecum in the seventh regular-season matchup between the former Cy Young Award winners, rookie Yasiel Puig had three more hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers rallied to beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Wednesday night for a three-game sweep of the defending World Series champions.
Kershaw (6-5) allowed two runs and four hits in eight-plus innings and had seven strikeouts.
Lincecum (4-8) gave up four runs and 10 hits in 5 1-3 innings and struck out four.
ANCHORAGE (AP) — The mayor of Alaska's largest city announced plans to run for lieutenant governor next year, a day after Lt. Gov. Mead Treadwell said he was running for U.S. Senate.
Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan joins Republican Sen. Lesil McGuire and Democrat Bob Williams, a Palmer math teacher, as those who are interested in the job.
HOMER (AP) — Two teenagers have been arrested after allegedly leaving a fake bomb at Homer High School.
The Homer News reports 18-year-old Zachary Fraley and a 16-year-old boy were arrested Thursday after being identified by school officials as those behind the prank.
Police say an object looking like an explosive device was left in a stairwell. The school's 370 students were temporarily evacuated Thursday morning.
ANCHORAGE (AP) — A bear that attacked a man without provocation Sunday on a Kasilof beach was not rabid.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game wildlife biologist Jeff Selinger sent in the grizzly's head for testing because the animal had attacked a telephone pole and a moving pickup before bruising 48-year-old Toby Burke as he bird-watched.
Alaska State Troopers killed the bear.
Department of Fish and Game veterinarian Kimberlee Beckmen in an press release says poor vision may have made the bear aggressive.
ANCHORAGE (AP) — Authorities are considering drug charges against a man two Alaska State Troopers helped revive.
The 27-year-old, who hasn't been identified, was at a Soldotna motel with his girlfriend Sunday when she called 911 after he allegedly overdosed, KTUU reported.
Troopers Thad Hamilton and Eric Olsen found the man unconscious, with foam around his mouth, when they arrived, troopers spokeswoman Beth Ipsen said.
They applied a sternum rub, Ipsen said.
ANCHORAGE (AP) — The executive committee of the Alaska Republican Party has removed Debra Holle Brown as chairwoman, the second leadership change in the last three months.
Brown, formerly the vice chairwoman, became the head of the party when the executive committee removed Russ Millet in January, KTUU reported.
Peter Goldberg was elevated to party chairman during Monday night's meeting. He was elected vice chairman after Brown was made chairwoman in January.

On November 12, CBS NEWS reported that "White House lawyers" are examining gun laws to find an avenue where President Obama can use executive action to go around Congress and expand background checks to cover private gun sales....
Guns Owners of America's (GOA) executive director Larry Pratt recently talked to Breitbart News about this behind-the-scenes maneuver and said it is past time for GOP leaders in Congress to stand up in clear opposition to Obama's plans.
On November 2, Gun Owners of America (and its foundation) filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit an amicus brief in support of a challenge to the federal machine gun ban, ironically passed as part of the 1986 Firearm Owners Protection Act.
Gun Owners not only argues that possession of machine guns by Americans is compatible with the Second Amendment, we argue that Supreme Court opinions have bolstered this view. Our brief argues that the Second Amendment is not about hunting or target shooting, but about self-defense against individuals and/or the state.
Finally, the Gun Owners' brief ridicules those who say that fully-automatic machine guns are far too terrifying and powerful for ordinary people to own, and we take the ATF to task for its bait-n-switch tactics.
Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.
Tens of thousands of Muslim "refugees" have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government.
Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries.Read More
Representative Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) 2014 gun control vote could present another obstacle to this path to the Speakership of the House.
It is certainly one more aspect of Ryan's past that caused Gun Owners of America to warn that a Ryan Speakership would simply be "Boehner on Steroids."
Ryan's 2014 gun control vote came amid the emotional outpouring that followed Elliot Rodger's May 23, 2014, Santa Barbara attack. Although Rodger passed a background check, registered his guns with the state–as is required in California–and only used ammunition magazines of 10 round or less, Ryan voted for Representative Rep. Mike Thompson's (D-CA-5th) amendment providing $20 million to expand the amount of information states are putting in the National Instant Criminal Background System (NICS) database.Read More
