Family History
The History Department has a wealth of expertise in the history of the family. We have particular strengths in the areas of historical demography, law and social policy, and the history of the eugenics movement. Historical research on family history often complements work in related fields, such as gender and sexuality.
Maria Bucur has written on the history of eugenics and gender roles in modern Europe. She recently published Eugenics and Modernization in Interwar Romania (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2002) and "Between the Mother of the Wounded and the Virgin of Jiu: Romanian Women and the Gender of Heroism during the Great War," Journal of Women's History (Summer 2000). Her teaching interests focus on Eastern Europe, and in her D330: Eastern Europe under Communism she focuses in part on the transformation of family relations under communism.
Ellen Dwyer's field of specialization is the history of psychiatry and neurology in the United States. She is especially interested in the burden of chronic illnesses for those who suffer them and their families. Her current research focuses on the responses of individuals, families, and military doctors to World War II African-American soldiers who developed or were labeled as having psychiatric problems. Every fall she teaches an interdisciplinary course, The Mad and the Bad, which explores the medico-legal situations of those caught up in both the mental health and criminal justice systems.
Wendy Gamber situates her research at the intersection of gender and labor history. Her book, Houses and Homes: Boardinghouses in Nineteenth-Century America, focuses on the meaning of women's household labor, paid and unpaid, in nineteenth-century America. Her undergraduate courses include History of the American Home and Gender and Sexuality in American History, both of which devote significant attention to the history of the family. She teaches graduate courses on the nineteenth-century United States and women's and gender history.
Michael Grossberg's teaching and research focus on the intersection of law and the family in the United States. He has written books and articles on the history of American family law. Grossberg is currently working on a study of child protection in the United States that will assess issues such as child labor, juvenile justice, school reform, disabilities, and child abuse from the 1870s to the present. He has also been involved in a number of public policy research projects involving family law such as an initiative to devise guidelines for genetic testing in child custody cases. Recent courses include Children and Childhood in Modern America (J400); Children and the Law in Modern America (Law 766).
Carl Ipsen studies the history of public policies designed to affect the family. In Dictating Demography: The Problem of Population in Fascist Italy (Cambridge, 1996) he examined the population policy and demographic theory of fascist Italy. His new book, Italy in the Age of Pinocchio: Children and Danger in the Liberal Era (Palgrave, 2006), explores the issues of abandonment, emigration, child labor, juvenile delinquency, and street children in Italy before World War I. He has offered graduate courses on social policy and children in modern Europe.
David Ransel's current research examines the family relations of an eighteenth-century provincial Russian merchant. He has also conducted more than 60 interviews with two generations of workers in the suburbs of Moscow, which focus on their attachment to basic institutions such as the family, workplace, party, church, community, and state. Both projects raise issues about citizenship, loyalties, personal and social identities. He has also written on infant abandonment, care of children, and reproduction in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russia.
Kirsten Sword focuses on the relationship between marriage and other forms of household dependence, including slavery and servitude, in colonial North America. Her current research on divorce and "runaway wives" documents the process by which ordinary people developed new ideas about justice within households.

Btg/Tob genes encode for a new family of proteins with antiproliferative functions, which are also able to stimulate cell differentiation. Btg1 and Btg2 are the most closely related members in terms of gene sequence. We analyzed their expression patterns in avian embryos by in situ hybridization, from embryonic day 1 to 3. Btg1 was distinctively expressed in the Hensen's node, the notochord, the cardiogenic mesoderm, the lens vesicle, and in the apical ectodermal ridge and mesenchyme of the limb buds. On the other hand, Btg2 expression domains included the neural plate border, presomitic mesoderm, trigeminal placode, and mesonephros. Both genes were commonly expressed in the myotome, epibranchial placodes, and dorsal neural tube. The results suggest that Btg1 and Btg2 are involved in multiple developmental processes. Overlapping expression of Btg1 and Btg2 may imply redundant functions, but unique expression patterns suggest also differential regulation and function.

Type: Car Accident
Date: March 25, 2010, 03/25/10
Location: I-5 near Chehalis
Outcome: One Injured
A four semi-truck accident on I-5 near Chehalis left the freeway blocked early Thursday morning.
Only one person suffered from minor injuries and was taken to Centralia Providence Hospital to be treated.
According to Washington State Patrol, the accident took place at Milepost 62 about six miles south of the junction with U.S. 12.
The accident took place when one semi traveling in the right lane of southbound I-5 slowed due to poor visibility in heavy rain. The second truck rear-ended the first, blocking the freeway. A third truck attempted to avoid the accident and instead drove off the road into the mud. A fourth semi hit the Jersey barrier after also attempting to swerve and miss the accident.
Fortunately, none of the trucks lost loads or turned over.
It took almost 3 hours to clean up the accident and open I-5 again.
Semi truck accident statistics show that there are about 500,000 truck accidents each year in the United State alone. Twelve percent of all traffic accidents are involving semi trucks
Semi truck accidents can be extremely serious and can leave accident victims with serious permanent injuries. If you have been injured in a serious car or truck accident, it would be in your best interest to speak with an experienced Renton car accident lawyer for a free no obligation consultation.

The late U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts."
In an April 20, 2013 editorial, "Bullet train: The insanity escalates," the U-T criticized the state's transparent and public bidding process, falsely claiming the bidding rules were changed to accommodate a particular bidder. This claim has no basis in fact: Bidding criteria were posted publicly in August 2012 — a full five months before bids were even submitted. By ignoring this public information and apparently basing an editorial solely on a Los Angeles Times news story, this paper betrayed its readers and failed to confirm facts from an independent source.
One of the many improvements and refinements made to the design-build contract process required all submitted bids to be open and public. This improvement increased both transparency and competition on price, giving the state a better price.
On Jan. 18, 2013, the design-build teams submitted bids to the authority, which were evaluated for technical merit. When the editorial states, "But under the original rules, Tutor shouldn't have even been eligible," it fails to acknowledge that each bidder also had an opportunity to refine their proposals to reflect the new criteria and may have in fact then been eligible. It is like claiming that the Padres' Trevor Hoffman wouldn't have had as many saves if the old rules were still in place; it's an interesting premise, but not one that can be borne out by the facts. He played under the rules as they changed over time.
The facts are clear. Through careful and transparent development of its bidding process, the authority secured five strong, technically sound proposals and a price well below estimates which produced a best value for the state.

Morgantown Super 8 Motel
Traveler Comments
It was difficult to find the location.
all was as expected. nice and clean and very friendly
Good value, good service, regularly stay at this same motel
I have stayed @ the SUPER 8 MOTEL chain in both Morgantown, WV & Hagerstown, MD during the last 12 months (several times) and have been very satisfied on EACH occasion. SUPER 8 does, indeed, give the customer exactly what they 'advertise' (promise) for a short stay. I will return again.
good location. does not jack the price up as bad as other motels on football weekends.

CALGARY, Alberta – Now firmly in playoff position in the Western Conference, the red-hot Ducks went about creating some space for themselves in moving closer to clinching a postseason berth.
The Ducks didn't need any late-game dramatics or superhuman single-handed efforts to douse the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night as Corey Perry scored twice and Ray Emery stopped 23 shots in an important 4-2 victory at Scotiabank Saddledome.
With nine victories in their past 11 games and 12 in their past 15, the Ducks (44-28-5) moved past Nashville into sixth place in the West and seriously damaged Calgary's efforts as the Flames stayed three points out of eight with just four games left.
"We're looking at game by game and trying to still climb," said Perry, whose 45th and 46th goals helped him regain the league lead. "You never know what can happen. "We're not looking too far ahead. We're looking to Saturday against San Jose."
The Ducks spotted Calgary an early lead on Jarome Iginla's goal but bounced back with two power-play scores on Bobby Ryan's wrapround past Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and Cam Fowler's point shot that deflected in off Perry's leg in front.
But they also got a key break in the second period when referee Gord Dwyer signaled no goal on Tim Jackman's apparent tying score after a long video review by officials in the league's war room in Toronto.
Several television replays were inconclusive but one from directly above the Ducks' goal appeared to show center Ryan Getzlaf reaching past the line to grab the puck off Emery's blocker and tuck it behind him into the clear.
"I knew it was close," Emery said.
Emery was solid again as he improved to 6-0 in six starts for the Ducks since supplanting Dan Ellis as both took over for the ailing Jonas Hiller.

Credible discusses a lot of his past issues, noting that when he got in the business at 19, being hired so young by the WWF (to portray Aldo Montoya) was more than he could emotionally handle and he ended up becoming a "follower" and having the same behavior as the bigger stars he admired that were in the same locker room.
Credible also issued an apology to Extreme Rising and the fans for his issues the night of their first event, where he passed out backstage while calling spots for his match and ended up being removed from the show and the locker room.

Mathletes compete at SMCPublished 11:11pm Wednesday, May 9, 2012
DOWAGIAC — More than 300 students from 20 school districts were challenged Tuesday in the 27th annual Math Meet at Southwestern Michigan College's campus in Dowagiac.
Teams of five students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades put their skills to the test in four areas of mathematics, competing for points and, ultimately, awards in their school and grade.
Coordinators from Van Buren, Lewis Cass and St. Joseph Intermediate School Districts (ISD) organized the day's events with representatives from the Tri-County Steering Committee and the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM).
Along with a special activity, provided by Steve Granata, students solved problems in areas of probability, data analysis, geometry, measurement, operations, number theory and algebra.
"Today was a great celebration of math," Brian Wood, director of instructional services for Lewis Cass ISD, said. "In the 27 years that we've done this, we want it to celebrate math and students' interest in the subject."
After all four competing events were finished, lunch was served and Granata entertained the students and their coaches in the Lyons Theater.
"It's a neat thing to witness, and I also enjoy getting to host the event and present the awards," Wood said.
Representatives from MCTM, who also rewarded the teams with ribbons and trophies, completed all the questions and scoring.
"Having this many students take such an interest in math is encouraging," Wood said. "This sets them on the track for their high school math courses and possibly careers related to math in the future."
Some of the day's biggest winners included Berrien Springs, Mattawan, Sturgis and Edwardsburg. Cassopolis received second place in the seventh grade for students' work in the geometry and measurements event.
Berrien Springs was named second in their seventh grade level and third in their eighth grade level overall. They were also awarded third all-district champions.

CF Mailbag: 5-3 Edition
Chris Williams
By Chris Williams, CycloneFanatic.com PublisherFollow Chris on Twitter @ChrisMWilliams
Greetings Cyclone Nation. It's officially mail time here at CycloneFanatic.com.
Let's get today's column started with a broad question from cystheman.
Cystheman writes: What kind of plans do you have for the website during the summer months since other than recruiting, there isnt much to talk about until summer football workouts begin? Also, hypothetical situation, you and Brock Lesner are in a steel cage in a fight to the death. You get your choice of one weapon. What do you select to take down the beast?
CW: Funny you should go there. I can't get into specific details yet but we're currently working on some big things for CycloneFanatic.com for the 2012/13 Iowa State athletic seasons. If you've noticed fewer new articles on our front page per day over the last couple of weeks, that's why. It will all be worth it though when August rolls around. That's a promise. I'll just stay that we're going to freshen things up a bit and leave it at that for now.
As far as my weapon of choice in a steel cage death fight vs. Brock Lesner (help me Lord), I would pay homage to my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Michelangelo and go with the numchuck. And after winning the fight, I'd order a pizza, with no anchovies. And hopefully that creepy human-size elderly rat doesn't make an appearance.
Megamanxzero35 writes: The Corn Belt isn't happening for the ISU-Iowa game. Think the ISU-KSU rivalry game could use a Farm Belt?
CW: Iowa State - Kansas State isn't worthy of a belt in my opinion. I don't know...It'd be cool but I still don't think of the Cyclones vs. the Wildcats as a big rivalry for some reason. You can't fabricate a rivalry. It's got to be natural. Maybe it will evolve over the next few years with the new look Big 12?
Iowa State and Iowa (and the folks at Iowa Corn) really missed the boat by not jumping on this the "Corn Belt" idea in my opinion. I'm not one to get too worked up over a trophy. In fact, you didn't hear a peep out of me during last year's state fair when everybody got all worked up about the Pewter Family. But that belt is a really unique idea that would have made this rivalry (or the trophy at least) stand out on a national scale. If something better gets used, I'm all for it. But I'd love to hear somebody with some decision making power explain to me why the belt didn't deserve to at the very least be on the ballot.
Drose1 writes: When can we expect to start hearing where some of these potential transfers plan on going?
CW: I think that as far as Trent Lockett goes, sooner rather than later. Last weekend, I wouldn't have been shocked to see him back a decision by the end of this week. Since we haven't heard a peep out of him since he left Ames last Friday, I'd say late next week or early the next. Who knows though? Lockett told me that he wants to get the process over with though so I'll take him at his word.
For Jarrod Uthoff, I bet it goes on at least another couple of weeks. He talks like he wants to take at least a couple more visits, specifically to Florida and Marquette before making his decision.
Kfitzy87 writes: Any new updates on the 2013 basketball recruiting trail?
CW: Honestly, no. Sit tight until July. That's when the next evaluation period begins and normally when things start to get nutty for hoops recruiting. I still like Iowa State's chances with Matt Thomas...
Cycarob writes: How soon will we start hearing more about football recruiting for this year?
CW: Boy you'd think before too long wouldn't you? Iowa State's first summer camp is scheduled for June 3. That's for juniors and seniors in high school, when a lot of offers are handed out. Don't be shocked if the Cyclones pick up a commit or two around that time. The 7-on-7/big man camps are scheduled for June 10.
CRcyclone6 writes: Can you "cat daddy" Chris? Ok, seriously, are you attending any Tailgate Tour events? Which ones and what kind of features would you be doing if you do?
CW: Wait...What? Never mind on the first part of this question...
Not sure on the Tailgate Tour. No. I don't get invited to these things by Iowa State as I'm not an employee of the athletic department. CycloneFanatic.com is 100 percent independent of that. The only thing that I do that is directly connected with Iowa State at all is host the postgame football show on the Cyclone Radio Network, which is run through Learfield Sports.
BUT, Tron Smith (Wilson Toyota of Ames - Give the man a call and buy a car please) and I are talking about heading up to Humbolt on May 24. Our good friend Larry who we met through some Cyclone Gridiron Club functions has invited us up there to hang out and I think we might take him up on it....ROLL CALL. Who's going to be in Humbolt that afternoon?
Should Tron and I make the trip?
CLONECONES writes: Think KO will show everyone in the AFC east what "being raised by women" has done to him?
CW: I'd like somebody to do a follow up interview with the bonehead who said that. Unbelievable. As far as Kelechi Osemele goes, the guy is a monster. He'll have a successful NFL career. How could he not?
Bigman38 writes: How surprised were you that Leonard Johnson went undrafted?
CW: Very surprised. I guess I never thought that Leonard would be a guy who was drafted on either of the first two days but I thought he was a lock for day three. It's amazing what a few bad numbers at a combine can do for a guy isn't it? Even so, I really think that he'll have a decent career in the NFL. It's all about fitting in with the right team and I think that the Bucs will give him a decent opportunity to do so. He's got NFL talent. Just needs to hang on tight cause the next few months will be very hard.
Clones21 writes: Your opinion on the Vikings 2012 draft?
CW: I was a fan. How could you not be? Any time that you can trade down, stockpile more picks and still get the guy you wanted in the first place is a very good thing. I really appreciated the fact that the Vikes were aggressive and traded up to get their guy again late in the first round. I liked the draft. Unfortunately, something tells me that they'll have a top five pick again next season.

Mentally disabled Publix employee: Compliment sparked attack
It was a compliment.
James Wall, a 26-year-old mentally disabled Publix employee said 'Hey, I like your shirt' to Ryan Keys, 27, reports WJXT News-4 in Jacksonville.
Apparently, in Florida, them thar's fightin' words.
Keys was wearing a Georgia Bulldogs T-shirt.
Wall was collecting the shopping carts in the parking lot of the Jacksonville Publix when, out of nowhere, Keys hit Wall three times, knocking two of his teeth out and causing Wall to fall to the ground.
Keys is 6 feet 4 inches tall and 275 pounds.
Maybe he should have been wearing a Georgia Bully T-shirt.

If you've been around any festivals or major events this summer, you've probably heard "Tsunami" by Borgeous and DVBBS. "Tsunami" has been on the playlists of every major DJ–it was initially released without any ID attached and the quality of the track created made for an even greater buzz.
Now with an official release on Spinnin' Records, and the identity of the producers, Bourgeous and DVBBS, revealed, "Tsunami" just topped the Beatport sales chart. And now as a follow up here's an official video. If you like crazy visuals, fire, bikes, strobe lights, and dancing, then this will do you well. We like!

Wiretap at Will
Congressional Democrats redefine spinelessness with the new FISA law.
In an editorial last year, the New York Times likened the Bush administration's efforts to retroactively make its warrantless wiretapping program legal, to a person caught speeding who persuades the legislature to raise the speed limit. The new surveillance bill President Bush signed into law Sunday takes this analogy to its logical extreme: Where government surveillance is concerned, the new law eliminated speed limits altogether. The infrastructure this nation established following Watergate to govern domestic spying has died many little deaths in the years since 9/11. But Sunday was the last sequel in a tired series. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is now dead, and it's never coming back.
The secrecy and complexity of government wiretapping make it an especially difficult issue for the average American to grasp, and—for the same reasons—an especially easy issue for politicians to manipulate. The finer points of the FISA are complicated: Debates about the 1978 law have a tendency to degenerate into impenetrable legalese. The technology itself is tough to grasp, as well; talk of data packets and data mining can be a bit forbidding, and it's all so secret that whatever the public does learn from the occasional leak seldom amounts to a comprehensive picture anyhow.
To further complicate matters, politicians keep insisting that even when we cannot understand all this patchy techno-legal babble surrounding eavesdropping, the public should nevertheless recognize that it's really, really important, and that fixes to the existing programs are so urgently needed, that there's not even time to comprehend what's being changed. In prevailing upon congressional Democrats to pass the new surveillance bill before leaving for the August recess, Trent Lott suggested that if they didn't, the capital might well be attacked, advising his fellow Washingtonians "to leave town in August."
The law the Congress ended up passing, which—I kid you not—is called the Protect America Act, was designed to remedy a fairly specific problem. But taking advantage of this potent combination of complexity, secrecy, and urgency, the White House and the Republican minority managed not only to fix the problem but to simultaneously do away with the most fundamental judicial controls on surveillance altogether.
To be fair, there were compelling grounds for changing FISA. As originally drafted, the law required spies who wanted to eavesdrop inside the United States to obtain a warrant. When it came to intercepting purely foreign communications, they could do what they liked—FISA didn't apply. During the Cold War, the NSA relied on a global network of "listening stations" outside the United States to hoover up phone calls and faxes in Central America or the Eastern bloc. But as telecommunications—and especially the Internet—evolved, a communication between, say, Paris and Karachi, might actually be routed through the United States and thus become off-limits to government agents without a warrant. This was the so-called "surveillance gap," and the White House—not unreasonably—wanted to close it.
One way to do that was to create a warrantless wiretapping program that didn't answer to FISA at all, and that worked fairly well, until the Times revealed its existence in 2005. A year later, officials opted to bring the wiretapping program within the scope of FISA. But in a secret ruling, the FISA court held that in order to intercept foreign e-mail or phone calls as they transited the United States, the agency needed a warrant. As a consequence, the court was reportedly flooded with applications. Last May, National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell told Congress America's spies were "missing a significant portion of what we should be getting."
Closing the surveillance gap should have been fairly simple. All you needed was an amendment to FISA that redefined "electronic surveillance" in such a way that it would permit U.S. intelligence to access foreign communications as they transited through this country. The Democrats were happy to do that—in fact, it was a major feature of their own bill. This proposal would have authorized spies to tap communications passing through the United States when they "reasonably believed" the targets to be outside the country. Recognizing that this would massively expand the capabilities of the NSA, the Democrats also introduced oversight mechanisms: maintaining some measure of FISA court review; providing for a periodic audit by the Justice Department's inspector general of how many Americans had been caught up in the surveillance unwittingly; and including explicit provisions against purely domestic surveillance.
But having lobbied for "modernization" of FISA, the White House also wanted more. As Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., put it, "The White House didn't want to take 'yes' for an answer." Instead, Bush petulantly announced that he didn't like the Democrats' bill and threatened to hold Congress hostage, preventing them from adjourning for August, until he got "a bill I can sign." And what he had in mind was a bill with all of the new surveillance powers, but none of the oversight mechanisms to check it.

Kim Jong Un Voted Time's 2012 Funniest Man on Earth, Edges out Jim Carrey
Kim Jon Un and pop-singer Psy pose for a North Korea versus South Korea pair-up, Un loosening back on tensions with South Korea in this humorous photograph. Un's brilliant timing in media opportunities poking self-deprecating humor to raise media attention for his country has him listed as this year's Funniest Man on Earth, 2012.
Kim Jong Un, the new dictator of North Korea, has become a media darling. Still gloating after being named Time's 2012 Sexiest Dictator of the Year, Kim Jong-Un has another award to add to his collection: Time's 2012 Funniest Man on Earth.
One of the electoral representatives of the vote, movie producer Judd Apathow, made a convincing case for comedian Jim Carrey. Coming from a background that exemplifies a rags to riches story, Carrey's storied career has brought laughter and joy to millions of homes worldwide. With Carrey's movie background and excellent year, it would seem time to give him a lifetime achievement award by being named this year's funniest man on Earth.
But moments before Time finalized its voting, Kim Jong Un took action and launched a long-rage missile that terrified about every member nation of the U.N., creating a stream of media headlines in its wake. An upset and distraught White House vehemently threatened and chided North Korea for the missile launch, while South Korea and Japan have gone on high-alert.
In response to the international political uproar, Kim Jong Un tweeeted the following picture of himself, launching the 'deadly' long range missile. He captioned the picture "Why so serious America? It just a wittle rocket toy, R.O.R.". We can only guess R.O.R. was Kim Jong Un doing an anagram play on the accent Americans typify to those of west Asian descent, the anagram standing for Raughing out Roud (laughing out loud, or, L.O.L.). The masterful timing of Un's tweeted pic and commentary is remniscent of comedian Dave Chappelle in its exquisite cultural humor.

I'm posting this for those who might google a review of these levers in the future.
They are on my '85 Trek 400 "restomod" roadie, that formerly had ST3400 9-speed levers on it. I was sick of the thumb buttons and now Shimano has the 3500 series out with the "proper" shifter setup.
I got them for a song online (Niagra Cycle) and was pleasantly surprised after I unpacked them. They are essentially a 9-speed version of 10-speed 5600 105 levers. The hoods are the same, the lever shape is the same, the shift/brake action is very similar. Trickledown has been VERY good to Sora.
I'm a fan of the hood shape, as the 3400 hoods are narrower and less ergonomic than the 105-style 3500 hoods. Definitely a comfort upgrade. The levers are painted (not anodized), so I don't know how long the finish will hold up. They look fantastic now--especially with black bar tape.
Braking action (leverage/clamping) is improved over the 3400 levers, mostly due to the longer 105-style lever of the 3500. It's still not stellar on this bike, but I think that's due to the Tektro R536 calipers that I'm running for the 27" to 700c conversion on this bike. The 5600 105 levers with 6500 Ultegra calipers on my other bike clamp like the Dickens.
No issues with tuning--they set right up in a snap.
Sure, the Soras don't have the clout of a higher end group, but they work fantastically. A great choice for a 9-speed backup bike.
Hope this helps some people in the future.

Fort Rucker to celebrate Hispanic heritage
September 5, 2013
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
Related Links
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (September 5, 2013) -- Diversity is a large part of not only the U.S. armed forces, but of the nation as well, and Fort Rucker is celebrating that diversity with a kickoff event that promises education with entertainment.
The Fort Rucker Equal Opportunity Office along with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service will host the Hispanic Heritage kickoff event Sept. 13 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the post exchange.
This year's theme is "Hispanics: Serving and Leading our Nation with Pride and Honor," and seeks to remind people that Soldiers are brothers in arms no matter their background or heritage, said Master Sgt. Thomas Reid, chief equal opportunity adviser.
"Our Army is made up of not just citizens of the United States, which itself is a melting pot, but of people around the world from different nations," he said. "By understanding the diverse nature of our Army and understanding the different heritages that are in our Army, you can understand the Soldier that is next to you to your left or right, and most of the time you find out that you are more alike than different."
The event will consist of Latin Jazz music performed by the 98th Army "Silver Wings" Band; a food sampling area with a variety of ethnic foods provided by local volunteers; cultural displays and vendors that people can visit and even purchase items from; and traditional and contemporary dancing for people to experience, said Susie Antonello, AAFES visual merchandising manager.
"The food sampling is sure to delight attendees and have their taste buds dancing with a variety of foods from Panama, Mexico and Puerto Rico, just to name a few," she said.
Their taste buds won't be the only things dancing, however. Fort Rucker's fitness facilities' Zumba instructors will be conducting their classes during the event as well.
Reid said that although it's important for people to have a good time at the kickoff event, it's more important that they take something away from it.
"It's about breaking barriers and respecting one another," he said. "If I grew up in (a different part of the country), I may not have been exposed to (different cultures), so by exposing people to something like this, they learn that their battle buddy is the same as them -- they just grew up differently."
Although the kickoff even is Sept. 13, Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15.
"A lot of people ask why it's celebrated in the middle of the month," said Reid, "and it's because a lot of Central American countries declared their independence on Sept. 15 and many other countries soon followed suit."
Following the kickoff event, Fort Rucker will host other events to celebrate what Hispanics have contributed to the U.S.
Sept. 28, the Fort Rucker EOO will host the Fun-4-All bowling tournament at the Fort Rucker Bowling Center beginning at 1 p.m.
The tournament will be open to the public and will be a no-tap tournament, which means that knocking down nine pins equals a strike. Cost for the tournament is $3 and people are encouraged to arrive at least 10 minutes early to sign up.
Prizes will be given away for first, second and third place, and there will also be trivia on Hispanic Heritage with prizes given to those who answer correctly.
There will also be an opportunity for people to put on their boogie shoes and dance the night away during Salsa Night at Divots Bar and Grill Oct. 11.
The event will go from 8-11:30 p.m., and is open to the public for ages 18 and older. Dance instructors will be on hand at the event to teach people how to Latin dance properly, said Reid.
For more information, call 255-2363.

I often get asked a lot if I really wear heels and dress up when I'm with my child. The God honest truth is YES. I remember when I found out that I was pregnant, saying to myself, I will not be one of those mom's who let themselves go and wear leggings and sweat pants all the time.
Not that there is anything wrong with that but it's not what I wanted to look like. That doesn't mean that I don't have days where I do throw on leggings and an over sized top. However, it's important for me not to lose who I am. I think as women we often forget about ourselves and needs when we become mom's. Your whole life is now about your children.
Sometimes, we have to take time for ourselves and not only do things that make us happy but put a little effort into our own appearance. Everyday won't be a dress up kind of day but you don't want to get yourself stuck in a rut to a point of no return. I know that every mom is different and sometimes after having a baby our styles change. If you're a mom of more than one child then maybe instead of sneakers and sweats when you're with your children, opt for a pair of cute flats and well fitted jeans.

Preschool Art: Cotton Ball Easel Painting Inspired By The Book Mouse Paint
Affiliate Disclosure: Pink and Green Mama is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
I found these photos and realized I never shared this sweet little activity with you.
I can't believe how little my sweet "C" is in these pictures.
She was 4 years old and still in preschool when I took them,
now she's 6 and starting first grade -- time sure does fly!
"C" checked out the book "Mouse Paint" by Ellen Stoll Walsh from our local library.
She loved the way the white mice got into the primary colored paint and mixed colors.
We set up our own "mouse" painting station with cotton balls,
a paper plate and red, yellow, and blue washable paint.
I will warn you that we use a LOT of cotton balls for this activity.
She pretended they were little white mice as she dipped them into the paint
and dabbed them across the paper.
She made marks (footprints) and even had fun mixing colors.
I love making connections with art and children's books!
This is a great first introduction to color mixing and a delightful sensory painting activity.

Yes, time surely does fly!! My own children are 23, 22, and 21. I now care for a child in my home daycare who I used to care for his father :-O I love the simple yet fun cotton ball painting activity to pair with the book, Mouse Paint. A bag or two of cotton balls can be purchased at the dollar store, therefore children can use their art processes as much as they want. Thanks for this easy and meaningful art activity.

Yuri's Revenge mods are on the Red alert 2 profile ...
FreeSpace2 and Command and Conquer fanatic.
Yuri's Revenge mods are on the Red alert 2 profile ...
Ferkhat is already in my contacts list . I added you also .
How many people are working on this mod ? I mean - how many people are in the team ?
I've done the airfield model . I can now send it to you if it's good . Ferkhat , I've sent you my MSN through a private message .
I can try
Damn ... Where's the edit button when you need it ...
Will there be a tech slider ?
I think so too
Tell me what you need , and I will try to make a model of it ( untextured and no infantry please :p ) .
I can make basic models and help you with this mod a little . That doesn't mean I want to join the team though ;) I can just help out a little .
You could make 3 sides working . But as 2 sides on one map . For example - a China vs GLA map , China vs USA map and USA vs GLA map . There can be 3 sides but on different maps that way . But , this is just my thought on it .
Umm ... I was asking about the newer version . :) I liked Freedom Fighters music - that's from where I heard of the game and it's also the reson why I got Freedom Fighters too .
Btw , in ROTR the music mix-up fixes easily by deleting your skirmishscripts from the scripts folder , as the current version of ROTR has it's own skirmishscripts in the *.big file . That way Russia has it's theme .
To Black-Operative : I don't think they should even include A-10s - they're kinda obsolete to the time this mod takes place in .
To Rise of the Reds mod team : I have a question - will you include your own original music or the music you used in the previous version of the mod , or some other ? In any way , I'd advice you to leave Battle for Freedom ( ROTR4.mp3 ) in the mod , cause it really fits with the theme . :D
Anyway , good luck !
Are you going to make all 3 sides in-game ? If so , then how ? I have an idea of my own on how to make 3 sides though .
I dunno if it counts as a bug , cause it might be my PC's problem , but the game always crashes after some time while playing the first map on the list ( the one with temperate weather , a city in the middle , trains on sides and etc. ) with one side as the Tiberian Coalition . It just crashes to the desktop .
Is it just me or do people get different AIs per download ? The Red alert Alliance works fine to me , except that on Medium it doesn't build anything more than Slave Miner , Barracks , 2 soldiers and tesla reactor . And the Generals Elite is too powerful compared to other sides :p
All hail the best mod for Zero Hour ! For real , I enjoyed this mod the most of all . The conyard system works great , the AI is great , units look great , everything works great even on my piece of junk PC ! :D
Go to filefront , select GTA files and download it .
Those ships are Hecate class destroyers , not Hades .
It gives a huge advantage to the Allies this way :( At least , is it possible to make a single unit chronoshiftable ? It was like that in RA , and it would lower the advantage the Allies gain by teleporting demo trucks .
Thank you - saved me again ! :D
Yeah , I voted for the mod . But the rating didn't change , dunno why .
Btw , is there any way to make the flame tanks weaker ? They can whipe out the enemy base pretty quickly . If I'm GDI , I have problems with the flame tanks , since Nod's AI sends loads of them to attack my base . If I'm Nod , I can easily destroy an enemy base by making a flame tank rush . Any way to fix this ? Cause really , the flame tanks are creeping me out .
As I remember , in RA1 that wasn't possible , as the demo trucks exploded . But in this mod I can easily chronoshift them into an enemy base . Are you going to/did you fix that ? Or am I wrong and Demo trucks can be chronoshifted ?
Well , the change is good then - who would like to get a group of demo trucks chronoshifted into their base ?
I use Wings3D . It's easy to use and totally free - you don't even need to register .
Can you please stop doing blank updates on the page and start working on the mod ?
In another mod ( CnC Renessans ) , the tech level doesn't reset once I close the game . So a few times I accidentaly left it on tech level 6 , or tech level 4 , and then opened It came from RA mod . Everything was fine , the tech level stayed like in Renessans ( tech level 4 , or 6 , depends on which I left ) , and I couldn't build more advanced stuff . But the sidebar didn't mess up .
Ugh ... can you stop being a pc-nerd ? I simply said that Iraq doesn't have T90MBTs , but you made a whole page filled with some nonsense ...
I dunno why , but it didn't reset to me . I tried to play another mod and I couldn't build anything better than tech level 6 ( because I exited Renessans on tech level 6 ) . However , it's still a very good mod ( my fave for Yuri's Revenge ) . Now I'm just going to put in Tiberian Dawn music .
It works great now . Thanks very much for the gamemd file . But is it suposed so that if you change the tech level and leave it lower before you quit a game , and it stays the same on other mods and RA2 itself ?
How can I get one of those ?

Although Kit McIntyre had left more than one unsuspecting groom standing solo at the altar, nothing would stop her from celebrating her best friend's big day. Luckily, there were a few perks she hadn't counted on as maid of honor--such as getting to spend lots of quality time with best man Ad Walker.
For a guy who'd sworn off women, trying to ignore the way Kit made Ad's libido stand up and take notice was proving impossible. And regardless of her rumored wedding willies, Ad couldn't help but imagine joining her in one last trip down the aisle...as her husband!
Victoria Pade is the bestselling author of numerous contemporary romances, six historical romances and two mystery novels. She began her writing career after leaving college to have her first daughter. That daughter was seven years old and there was a second daughter, before Victoria had her first book accepted for publication.
That novel and the three that followed it were historical romances. But the exit of her husband and the urge to do more contemporary writing that explored the kinds of problems she was facing inspired a switch.
Contemporary romances are still where her main interest lies, although shes enjoyed veering off the path into two more historical romances, as well as into mystery writing.
Victoria lives in Colorado where she shares a home with her parents, her younger daughter, who is a computer whiz and a college student studying psychology, and Lucy the Schnauzer resident prima donna and boss of the house. Her eldest daughter is now in Michigan attending medical school.

Billy Ray Cyrus is dad to the richest teenager in the world. At last count, his 16-year-old daughter Miley's empire was worth a staggering $1 billion. So how do you parent a billionaire?
"Teenagers will be teenagers – gotta give them room to go," Billy Ray says in the new issue of Elle. "We talk about a lot of things she's going through. I'm a friend first and foremost, then a daddy, and then a business partner."
He admits that Miley, of Hannah Montana fame, has not had a typical childhood, but says that show biz is in the Cyrus blood.
"Our lives have always been in the big tent of the circus. The kids grew up in that tent. Show business has always been the cornerstone of our livelihood. It's what we do."
It seems that Miley has so far managed to avoid a lot of the major pitfalls of child stardom, though she has had her fair share of controversy, including the endless questionable MySpace pics, and of course that infamous Vanity Fair photo shoot. Even her latest Elle spread – reclining on a table in thigh-high leather boots – raised a few eyebrows. Though Billy Ray says that his daughter has "a calling" to be a performer, he insists that if she wanted to leave it all behind he'd support her decision.
"It doesn't matter to me if she wants to do another season of Hannah; I'll be there. If she wants to go back to Tennessee and ride horses, I'll do that," he says. "The only reason she should do anything is for her happiness. She doesn't have to put up with this bullsh*t – the blood-sucking leeches that use you for everything they can use you for, man, and throw you out on the streets. It's the nature of the business."
What do you think of Billy Ray saying he's "a friend first and foremost, then a daddy?"

Half a century worth of shot being reclaimed from Langlade County Trap Club
On the eve of the Langlade County Trap Clubs 50th anniversary, a major lead reclamation project is underway at the clubs trap range south of Antigo. A benefit to all involved, the lead recycling project is an undertaking that had yet to be done in the half-century existence of the range itself.
The sought-after lead, resulting from years of the trap clubs accumulated shot, resides underneath the top soil of the trap range, a public facility owned and operated by the Langlade County Forestry Department.
This is a win-win situation for both the county and our club, said Langlade County Trap Club President Todd Toburen. The county gets a percentage as does (the removal company), and it benefits everyone to finally have the lead reclaimed.
Jack Construction of Menominee was selected for the project, having done similar processes for the trap clubs of Weston and Marathon in the past. Very few companies in the Midwest provide lead removal services on such a scale, and owner Kevin Jack is occupied six months out of the year with such endeavors.
Initial contact with Jacks company was sought after more than two years ago, and after years of indecision the project has finally been put into action.
As of Wednesday afternoon, a few brief days into an operation that is projected to last two weeks, over 15 tons of lead had already been extracted. The procedure includes the removal of the first 4-6 inches of top soil that is eventually sifted and divided into piles of rock, fine dirt, and the sought-after lead.
The lead is then placed into 55 gallon drums and sealed, where they await transport to a recycling facility in the Chicago area. With a 2014 average cost of roughly 95 cents per pound, the trap club is looking forward to the return it expects from the project.
The LCTC has five traps available to its members, though only three fall on county land and are involved in the removal process. With an outing of the Scholastic Clay Targets Project scheduled for today, Toburen guarantees the entire facility will be made available for Langlade Countys youth shooters.
It is my concern as club chairman to make sure this project does not interfere with the activities of our club, addressed Toburen. I am just happy to know that the money acquired from this project will be used for the benefit of the shooters area.

As the bulk wine market picks up steam, the following scenarios are becoming more and more familiar:• A winery has excess wine that it knows it cannot sell, or that it cannot sell at its established price point, so it sells off such excess wine in bulk, either to a wholesaler directly or through a broker. • A winery simply has wine that is not up to its usual standards so it takes advantage of the bulk market. • A consultant winemaker makes wine for a winery that is later sold off in bulk.The re...

America and the Musical Unconscious [deadline extended]
full name / name of organization:
LMU Munich / University of Cologne
contact email:
Music is clearly one of the most important components of American culture, and of postmodernity generally. People are listening to music all the time; it's a new spatial form they are surrounded with, and I wish I could write about that and music generally."
When, in 1981, Fredric Jameson forged a new method to analyze cultural texts and objects in terms of what he called "the political unconscious" he focused largely on the political implications of literary artifacts from the realist and modernist periods of especially European descent, to his own regret omitting musical forms of cultural expression. In the thirty-odd years since then, music has doubtlessly gained even more importance in American culture (and American music globally). While the field of American Studies has acknowledged and followed this development in various ways, it nevertheless mostly privileges textual and visual forms of art and thereby often neglects the unique qualities of music with regard to central paradigmatic concerns in the humanities such as space, the body, affect, or cognition. This conference seeks to adjust this imbalance by placing music center stage in American Studies. In doing so, it takes its cue from Jameson and proffers the "musical unconscious" as a general framework of analysis that highlights the convergence of the three dimensions of the individual musical text, the social context, and the technological conditions of possibility or mode of production.
- What is the relationship between American studies and musicology?
Please submit your proposals of no more than 300 words by January 15, 2014 to the conference organizers Julius Greve (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Sascha Pöhlmann (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The conference takes place from May 30-31, 2014 at Junior Year in Munich and is co-organized by the American studies departments of the University of Cologne and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, in cooperation with Junior Year in Munich. It is open to the public; there is no conference fee.

August 3, 2012
Being gay in the mid-'80s, body image was a priority. Working out at the gym was not just a regimen, it was a lifestyle. Looking good for Gay Pride was the ultimate goal. Back then, it was far less commercial and more of a social event for the LGBT community. A sense of belonging and emancipation from the stigma of AIDS. A safe haven for at least one weekend out of the year.
My partner and myself are a dying breed (pardon the pun). Throwbacks from the '80s. Our fashion changes with the times, but our muscular physiques somewhat remain the same. We both take pride in our appearance and work hard at it. We still enjoy taking our shirts off while dancing at clubs and Gay Pride events.
While dancing with my partner at this year's West Hollywood Gay Pride, someone behind us speaking in a loud enough voice for us to hear, commenting on our (slight, but evident) buffalo humps to his companion. Knowing that they themselves were probably HIV+ from the telltale signs of lipodystrophy, we stood our ground. Now, whether it was intentional or not for us to hear, we didn't allow it to bring us down and continued to have a wonderful time dancing the night away with our shirts left off.
My partner and myself are far from being vain. We are only trying to age gracefully. But, it's a constant struggle to maintain somewhat of a seamless body image. It's becoming more and more difficult not to be publicly picked out of the crowd because of the physical side effects of the virus and HIV meds.
Go figure, just when I'm finally at a place in my life where I'm comfortable in my own skin. How ironic is that?

Tardelli keen to tempt Fulham star back into Irish duty
08:30 04 September 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Republic of Ireland assistant manager Marco Tardelli hopes Damien Duff will call a quick end to his international retirement just 10 days after announcing it.
The Fulham winger earned his 100th cap appearing for his country in Euro 2012 but vowed he'd never pull on a green shirt again.
Ireland will kick-off their World Cup qualifying campaign in Kazakhstan this week and Duff will not be in the squad but the Italian-born coach hopes that will change by the time they host Germany next month.
"I know he has said he has retired, but I hope he will be back for the Germany game. It is possible," Tardelli said.
"I don't know if he will or not, but I always see him during Fulham's matches and I think it is possible, why not?
"He is a very good player. He said he has stopped but I hope he will come back."

The Missouri Formula for Turkeys
suggested that most turkey reproduction occurred during the first two weeks of April, often considered the first peak of gobbling activity. We purposely do not hunt gobblers during this initial period of the breeding activity. The season opening date, which is the Monday closest to April 20, was set in 1960. It was established to accord with the later breeding and nesting period of turkeys in the Missouri Ozarks.
Turkey Timeline
- 1960 - First modern day spring season, 3 days in 14 south Missouri counties, 1 bird bag and season limit
- 1963 - Season length increased to 4 days
- 1966 - Season length increased to 5 days
- 1967 - Season length increased to 7 days
- 1970 - Rules change to allow hunters to harvest a male turkey or turkey with a visible beard enacted. Before this, only male turkeys were legal game
- 1971 - Season length increased to 11 days
- 1972 - Season length increased to 14 days
- 1973 - Bag limit increased to 2 birds
- 1974-75 - Bag limit reduced to 1 bird due to poor hatch in 1973
- 1976 - Bag limit increased to 2 birds, but only 1 per week
- 1985 - All 114 counties opened to spring turkey hunting
- 1998 - Spring turkey season length extended to 3 weeks, and 2 birds could be taken on consecutive days during second and third weeks
- 2001 - First youth season established
Timing the season the way we do gives hunters good opportunities to call and bag gobbling birds, while ensuring that most hens are bred. An earlier opener would make gobblers more vulnerable to harvest and leave a portion of hens unbred. Over time, this could impact reproductive rates and lead to reduced turkey populations.
Weekday Opener
Opening turkey season on a Monday and limiting harvest to one bird the first week reduces interference rates among hunters. Currently, more than 80 percent of spring turkey hunters report little or no interference from other hunters. Our current three-week season further reduces daily hunting pressure because it encompasses three weeks instead of two.
About 12 percent of hunting trips and 19 percent of harvest occurs on opening day. Hunters take about 8 to 10 percent of their trips on weekends. That's also when about 7 to 9 percent of the harvest occurs. About 67 percent of harvest occurs the during the first week, but only 5 to 8 percent of hunters take two birds. Therefore, hunting pressure tends to be light during the second and third weeks.

Supervisors OK $125,000 for reassessment
Brenda Garton, Gloucester's new county administrator, sought to assuage supervisors' fears about creating a $125,000 slush fund for the assessment department.
"We're not going to spend anything that doesn't need to be spent," she said Tuesday during the supervisors' meeting.
The funding, which the supervisors unanimously approved, will help ensure the county's completes its first in-house assessment by 2010, Assessor Reese Milligan said. The bulk of money, $75,000, is slated to cover the salary and overtime costs of the assessment and information technology departments, and part-time workers. The rest is scheduled for public relations and equipment.
Included in the resolution was language that allows Milligan and Garton to move the money around. For example, if overtime costs are higher than expected, they can divert money from the public relations fund.
Supervisors were weary. "This is a lot of money you're askng us to give you," Supervisor Michelle Ressler said. But their reluctance was ultimately overcome by a desire to finish the reassessment, which has been delayed much to the consternation of the public.
'We can't wait," Supervisor Bobby Crewe said. 'We've been waiting too long."

She was Captain Jean-Luc Picard's direct superior but had a poor working relationship with him.
In 2369, while serving as a Vice Admiral, she ordered Picard to relinquish command of the USS Enterprise-D to Captain Edward Jellico, the latter having experience with Cardassians in the past and having worked to establish the original armistice of the Federation-Cardassian War. She assigned Picard to a special operation to infiltrate a Cardassian installation on Celtris III. After Jellico's negotiations with Gul Lemec worsened, she authorized his actions against the Cardassian warships in the McAllister C-5 Nebula, at the risk of provoking open war and abandoning Picard.
Nechayev was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral in the year 2370, during which time she paid another visit to the Enterprise-D. Nechayev believed that Picard was too soft-handed in his dealings with Federation adversaries. She cited in particular his refusal to use Hugh as a carrier to introduce an invasive program into the Borg Collective. When she later commanded the Starfleet task forces assembled in response to the Borg attack of 2369, she ordered Picard to deploy the program should another opportunity avail itself. Picard tried making amends in 2370, offering her Bularian canapés to help her feel welcome aboard the Enterprise. However, his objections to her order removing the Native American colonists from the Dorvan V colony in the Demilitarized Zone left tension between the two.
I think this article is as complete as it can be. All of the in-universe content is there together with a decent quotes section and a comprehensive background information section, complete with Nechayev's appearances in non-canon works. I don't think any more can be done to this article and it is deserving of FA status in it's present form. --| TrekFan Open a channel 17:41, May 31, 2014 (UTC)
Anyone interested in voting for or against? It would be a shame not to have any votes. --| TrekFan Open a channel 11:47, June 6, 2014 (UTC)
