Bienvenue à Wellesley-in-Aix!
2014-15 marks Wellesley College's 34th year in France and the WIA program remains committed to helping you to achieve your goal of fluency in French and cultural immersion while taking advantage of the many opportunities in Paris and Provence. You will find that Aix is a relaxed, student-friendly city and no doubt appreciate its architectural treasures, lively outdoor markets and cafés, and surrounding natural beauty, notably the Sainte Victoire mountain immortalized by Cézanne.
We believe that language is the key to successful integration and an authentic cultural experience. In 2012, students rated the WIA program as the top choice among immersion programs in the Abroad 101 Study Abroad Rankings. Program staff and your French hosts support your efforts to become more fluent in French, acquire a deeper understanding of France and gain a different perspective on issues, from social and political matters to educational philosophies to family life. The ability to step outside one's own culture, understand a different viewpoint and communicate in a world language other than English is a valuable skill whether you choose a career in diplomacy, international business or law, politics, international relations or journalism, to name a few.
The program opens in Paris with a pre-session that includes guided museum visits with an art historian, cultural activities, and preparation for your academic and homestay experience in Aix. During this time, you will get to know other program participants and the Directors and also have free time to discover Paris on your own. We will then travel to Aix together where orientation continues and introduces you to Aix, Marseille and, of course, your French hosts and the local universities.
Once in Aix, you will be enrolled in courses at AMU and Sciences Po alongside French and international students and taught by professors from these French institutions. Indeed, the specificity of Wellesley-in-Aix is direct enrollment in French institutions in order to maximize opportunities to interact with French peers in a student-centered environment and to observe and experience a different educational system.
We encourage you to choose the full-year option if at all possible. Why? Because it takes time to adjust to living in a new language and culture and to feel truly comfortable. Most past participants report that a semester passes quickly and that a 9-month sojourn contributes to deeper relationships, greater linguistic progress and integration, and increased self-confidence. Moreover, there is a wealth of sites and regions to explore in Provence and France, each with their own historical, artistic and gastronomic traditions. Regardless of your major, if you plan carefully from your first year, a longer stay is usually possible.
Thanks to its small size and experienced staff, Wellesley-in-Aix is able to offer individual assistance in the form of academic advising and tutorials; health and safety advice; cultural tips and suggestions on meeting locals, exploring the region, and finding extra-curricular activities in which to get involved, etc. In our role as advisors, resource people and "cultural informants", we try to help students make the most of their time in France on all levels: academic, linguistic and personal. Profitez-en!
If you have further questions, fee free to contact the Wellesley-in-Aix Office (firstname.lastname@example.com).
A bientôt!
Monique Fecteau, Resident Director in Aix

The party was sponsored by dailybuds.com and kush magazine. Each is a Colorado local and promotes the trade, while serving patients with relevant information.
This two day event was held at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver on April 3rd & 4th from 9am to 10 pm each day. With hundreds of vendors, music and entertainment, it was not only the first of it's kind, but very large as well. As a matter of fact, it occupied roughly the same space as a full fledged auto show from flusher economic times.
Part trade show, part carnival, the atmosphere was festive. Mini seminars of all sorts were performed along with live music throughout the show. Chefs gave cannabis cooking lessons with the enthusiasm of the Sham-Wow guy. There wasn't any marijuana for sale or even on display, but most of the crowd seemed to have the munchies and kept the concession stands busy.
Along with the well represented dispensaries and care centers, there were numerous merchants to the trade. Peddlers came with security systems, armed guards, safes, indoor gardening supplies, attorneys, insurance, pos and credit machines, website developers, container companies, advertisement agencies… you name it and it was there!
The vibe late Saturday was mellow. The packed crowds were thinning and the vendors were beginning to relax. In the background an advocate on stage spoke closely into the microphone, the muffled voice filtered through rows of vendors, each with a competing voice. These people meant business.
The last auto show at this location was smaller. Chrysler didn't even show, because they had no new autos in their line-up. This show pointed to the enormous potential of the burgeoning pot industry.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment recently released statistics that indicate applications for Medical Marijuana cards are up from 270 a work day August, 2009 to approximately 1000 a work day as of February, 2010.
This is clearly a growth industry (no pun intended) in a time when Colorado, as well as the rest of the nation could certainly use it. One of the booths was promoting a 420 Rally Fund-Raiser on April 9th at Casselman's Bar and Venue. Proceeds will be shared by MILE HIGH NORML and Cannabis Therapy Institute. Until then, look for an upcoming follow-up article on the recently passed Colorado HB10-1284, coming soon.

Subject: WebMaster: Positive Atheism Index
I was just wondering if you could scientifically explain the miracles of Jesus? Or even more modern miracles? Oh, also, the Bible is not just taken at its words. There are many Roman historians (Tacitus, Josephus, etc) that were not Christian, yet they testified to the existence and miracles of Christ. When you manage to disprove these obvious truths and explain to me why non-Christians would acknowledge Jesus, I may take heed to your beliefs.

I was just wondering if you could scientifically explain the miracles of Jesus?
How can someone answer, scientifically or otherwise, a question which contains a presupposition? This fallacy is known as The Loaded Question. You are presupposing that something happened and then asking me to explain how or why it happened. First you must demonstrate to me that it actually happened, you must convince me that you are not simply being taken in by clever fakes such as abound in the business of religious persuasion.
You must first determine if a specific event occurred. To do this, you would need first to show that the claim relating the alleged occurrence is not a political tract, a legend, a cultural myth, a hoax, a hallucination, an example of religious hucksterism, etc, and that it actually happened.
To show an unusual event you would need extraordinary proof such as would be required to overthrow practically the entire body of scientific knowledge. If you claimed that a man floated off into space, in apparent violation of the laws of gravity and the laws of biology explaining that man's need for oxygen and air pressure, you would need to update both the laws of gravitation and the theories of biology to account for this event. If you cannot do this, we are justified in thinking that it is more likely that two men would lie than that a man would float off into space.
Once you have accomplished the formidable task of firmly and irrefutably establishing the fact of what someone alleges to be a miracle, you still face the probably insurmountable task of showing that what happened (assuming that it happened) is actually a miracle, that it does not have a natural explanation but can only be the result of supernatural intervention. To do this, you would need to eliminate the possibility that we don't know everything there is to know about science. You must show that this did not occur as the result of any known laws of physics and also show that it is not the result of any unknown or yet undiscovered physical laws.
If you can show that the event occurred, and if, after this, you can show that no known or unknown laws of physics could possibly have caused the event (if it even occurred), then you would have a miracle on your hands.
If you could show it to be a miracle (a supernatural intervention into or violation of the laws of physics), then you still could not explain it scientifically, because science deals only with natural laws and seeks only natural explanations for observable occurrences.
To show that it happened would involve science. To show that it is not natural (supernatural would involve science. But, if you could show, through science, that a supernatural even occurred, you would overthrow science itself and we'd have a whole new ball game.
However, I suspect that it is much more likely that two men would lie than it is that you could overthrow and render invalid several thousand years of recorded scientific history, beginning with the Egyptians and the Babylonians, on to the Greeks, and then Alexandria and then eastward for a thousand years to the Islamic nations (which did not suppress science nearly as fiercely as the Christians did in the West, during the Dark ages), through the Renaissance and the seventeenth century of independent thinkers, to the Enlightenment and on to the modern scientific era.
It is much easier for me to think that someone is pulling your leg with these tales of a Jesus miracle, particularly when it is almost impossible to show that a Jesus even existed and that the Jesus myth was not based upon myths and put forth for political purposes.
Or even more modern miracles?
Same thing: you'd have to determine — prove — that these actually happened. If you were to prove that a certain event happened, you still must show that there is some supernatural intervention involved. This would involve demonstrating that we know all the laws of physics, and then showing that what happened cannot be explained by any of these laws — be they known laws or unknown laws.
If you can do this, I promise you'll get the very next Nobel Prize and you will go down in history.
But as I said above, even if you could show, scientifically or otherwise, that a miracle did occur, you could never use science to explain the miracle, because science is all about natural laws and the study of natural occurrences and systemizing what we have observed into an organized understanding of how nature operates.
If someone challenges you to say, "Aha! You cannot explain these scientifically!" they are right! You use science to prove or disprove whether something can occur naturally, but science could never explain something supernatural, because saying supernatural is almost the same thing as saying unscientific.
There are many Roman historians (Tacitus, Josephus, etc) that were not Christian, yet they testified to the existence and miracles of Christ.
Are they still feeding you this chestnut? Those bastards! When I was a Christian, we sternly denounced those who would spin this yarn, because our Jesus was "the Truth, the Way, and the Life," and as such would never tolerate us using falsehood to convince people that He was real. Our Jesus only allowed us to tell the truth when witnessing for Him. Mind you, we were less effective in our evangelistic efforts than the liars who ran the megachurches (and our salaries were much smaller — I worked for free for almost two years and held down a job on top of that).
But even then, only a handful of the more unscrupulous congregations and sects resorted to the Tacitus and Josephus yarns, these being so easily and so handily and so widely repudiated — even by the churches — as to render anybody who used them worthy of being called a bald-faced liar.
Cornelius Tacitus (circa CE 55-117 or later) writing in about CE 114-17, briefly describes the "Christians" who "derive their name and origin from Christ who, in the reign of Tiberius, had suffered death by the sentence of the procurator Pontius Pilate." He says no more than this. Had he given more detail, we would be justified in believing that he made more than a cursory investigation into the sect. But since he only gives this description, we cannot eliminate the likelihood that he simply placed into his text the description that was commonly held — that description from the Gospels that had been in circulation for at least 20 years.
Also, he was not describing Christ, but Christians, who by then did not need an actual Christ to explain their existence; hundreds of sects thrived during that time who had alleged historical founders that probably did not exist and certainly did not perform the feats attributed to them in their respective body of mythology.
You'll have to do better than Tacitus, almost 100 years later, to establish that a historical Jesus even existed — much less was who the patently biased and Gospel accounts say he was, or did what these hopelessly flawed Gospel accounts say he did. First you must establish that he existed, and Tacitus cannot help you there; then you must establish that he was who the Christians say he was and did what the Christians say he did — and Tacitus most certainly cannot help you there. That someone cannot see this simply boggles the mind; that people continue to propagate this yarn shows only that the propagation of the Christian religion is still being entrusted to patently dishonest individuals.
The alleged segment in Josephus's so-called Testimonium Flavianum (Antiquities 18:63-64) is not genuine, and only a handful of Josh McDowell-type hucksters still insist that it is. Josephus (circa CE 37-101) was an orthodox Jew who cannot be expected to have written such obviously Christian words. The rest of his works do not ring like this one passage, and this segment uses many words (such as tribe to mean something completely different than how it is used here.
If he did write these words, and if he believed what they say, then why did he restrict his coverage of Jesus to this little parenthesis? Why would he interrupt his count-down of the various rebellions in Judaea, insert a wild and very un-Josephus account of a mystical religious figure who, according to the narrative, sparked no rebellion, and then return — right where he left off and continue to recount the Judaean rebellions? Why did he not devote more if not much of his work to describing this most wonderful of men — if Josephus thought the story was true? And why is this the only place where Josephus enters into a parenthesis without introducing it as such, and without reintroducing the reader back to the main narrative?
But we don't have to address these or any similar problems if Josephus the Roman Jew did not write this obviously Christian passage.
And why is Hierapolis's tenth-century quote of the Arabic translation of Antiquities, which was probably made from the Syriac translation, so vastly different from the one handed down to us by Roman Catholic monks? These two drastically different accounts cannot both be authentic; at least one of them is a plagiarization — if not both of them.
If this passage is genuine, we can expect later Christian writers to refer to it. It would have been a strong element in the early Christians' struggles to ward off the allegations that no Jesus ever existed and that Jesus was just another mythological figure like all the other mythological figures who allegedly founded the hundreds of different religious sects which thrived during those times.
L H Feldman, in his book Josephus and Modern Scholarship, lists two fathers from the second century, seven from the third, and two from the early fourth — all of whom knew Josephus and cited his works. But, he says, the "do not refer to this passage, though one would imagine it would be the first passage that a Christian apologist would cite."
The first mention of the Testimonium is Eusebius (who died about CE 342), and a full century passes (including, most notably, the era of Augustine [CE 354-430]) before it is again mentioned by a Church Father. This leads many to believe that it was Eusebius who ordered that this passage be inserted into the copies whose transmission was under his jurisdiction. Eusebius is the first to use the word tribe to describe the Christians, just as the alleged Testimonium uses the word. Eusebius is probably most well know for openly advocating that people lie if that's what it takes to entice people into believing in Christ. So, it makes sense to suspect that the Testimonium is just another of Eusebius's lies for Christ.
When you manage to disprove these obvious truths and explain to me why non-Christians would acknowledge Jesus, I may take heed to your beliefs.
When did non-Christians "acknowledge Jesus" and what did they acknowledge?
Even if you were to show that the Tacitus passage is genuine (it probably is), you have shown nothing about the claims contained in the Gospels other than what we already know: some of the Gospel accounts had been published by the year CE 114. That's all we know about the Tacitus passage is that Gospel accounts (and we do not know which ones) were in circulation by the year 114 — over 80 years after Jesus is alleged to have died.
And even if you were to show that Josephus said what a tiny minority of Christians throughout Christian history have alleged that he said, you have shown only that he said it, you have not shown that it is true. You cannot claim Josephus's information as first-hand knowledge because by the time Jesus is supposed to have died, Josephus was not yet born.
I may take heed to your beliefs.
I don't have any beliefs as you describe. I submit to liberal scientific method as a discipline for discovering truth and weeding out falsehood, but that's all liberal scientific method does, that's all it is good for. I have certain viewpoints, such as that religious liberty is best accomplished by the separation of religion from government, and I tend to agree with those historians who show that Ethan Allen, Ben Franklin, Tom Paine, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe were not pious Christians and did not think that they had established this as a Christian nation. I say this after having spend much of my life, off and on, studying the American Revolution in 1776 and the founding of the new Republic in 1789. This is of interest to me because two of my ancestors signed the Constitution and one signed the Declaration. What these newfangled "Christian Nation" revisionists say goes completely against everything I have ever learned about American history and everything I have read of these men's words.
But I don't have any religious beliefs. I don't even believe that no gods exist. Rather, I simply lack a god belief. This is because nobody has ever given me a valid reason to believe that any gods do exits. So, I remain an atheist.

The apartment is very well located. However, I did not get the service that was promised. I rented this apart due to its location and internet service, since I went to NYC for both work and pleasure. When checking in at the office, the instructions were given to me regarding internet access. I was suppossed to find a clear box with instructions... When I arrived to the apart, there were no clear box nor even modem!! DID NOT HAVE INTERNET service. I called to the office the same day to explain the situation. I did not have any solution at all during my stay. I got really disappointed since I had to pay to AT&T for a special service during my stay (USD500). In addition, the tenant did not recognize my extra expense, not even a penny!!! DISAPPOINTED!
The location is very good, wifi was perfect and the apartment is not bad, but there are many bad things you won't like:
- It is extremely noisy, sleeping will be very difficult.
- It has 2 bathrooms, but they are connected by a door and there's one room you can only access through them.
- It was very very dirty.
- Washer machine doesn't work, So, We couldn't try the drier.
- You will only get one towel per person... If washer machine doesn't work, you can imagine...
- It is located in a second floor... there's no elevator.
- Only one TV was working, the one in the dining room.
- Curtains and blinds are not enough, So, rooms are not dark enough to sleep confortably.
- You have to pick the keys up in an office; It is near the apartment and It is easy and fast, but after a long flight, It is a bit unconfortable.
I don't reccommend this apartment.
We´ve been with 8 People in this appartement. Location was great quick steps to broadway and other interesting places like circle line, 5th AV etc. Appartement was clean but small for 8 people you have to improve a bit - chair and table for 4 persons only on the other hand no space for ore. They were very flexible to change towels once - no problem at all. Only really negative point was 1 bathroom and toilet but this was known before from us. Everything a bit old and toilet and shower was blocked once. At the end nice and clean but you must be flexible to stay there with 8 people.
This appartment was perfect for us, 9 girls on holiday! We had the best time in NY staying in this fantastic appartment with great location! It was clean, good space and nicely decorated. We can recommend this for everybody, specially larger groups.
We had a very nice week in the apartment. The location is great, just a few blocks from Times Square and from the subway station where you can get to all other interesting places in Manhattan. We were surprised by the space in the livingroom of the apartment, even we were a group of 7 girls with large suitcases. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The only things that can be improved is the cleaning of the bathroom when we arrived and the noise that the air-conditioning makes.. It was not a big problem, the perfect location, service on check-in and check-out and the nice decoration of the apartment made our stay worthwile and we would really recommend these apartment for groups up to 7 people...
A perfect week in the city which never sleep...
2 minutes by foot of time square, 5 minutes of the 5th avenue, what more can you ask for?...
We stay at 4 adults and a baby on the flat and the size was perfect.
Raphael and his colleague always answer to all the mail and the service to pick up off the keys or leave the luggages on the last day was very appreciable!
For our next trip in NYC we call upon to Raphael and Casanova Condos for sure! So don't hesitate to!
When we arrived the floor in the livingroom had cracked up underneath the sofa and the internet connection didn't work. Contacted the office to tell them, but it took several days before it was taken care of. Called several times about the internet, but spoke to a new person each time....so in the end it ended up with me calling the company that the owner of the apartment had the internet contract through. And it got solved after this. The floors got fixed and the apartment was really nice.
During our stay we lost the internet on two more occasions for several days. And then it was the same over again, calling the office several times each day, and also getting told to contact the internet company. So over all, during our stay, we had internet about half the time. And little help from the office managing the apartment to fix it.
All over we were satisfied with the state of the apartment,
Fine location. A lot of noice from the street, because of the windows
When host is using a another Company to hand out the key -please write that is cost extra to check in on weekends. And at the same time nice if you don't have to wait about 45 minutes to get the key. Even if you have given information about when you will arrive....
Hints for the Apartment. Some light at the beds and maybe some hooks to hang your jacket on.
When all this has been said - we had a ferfect and fanstastic week in NYC - great town.
Regards Tina
We had a group of 9 People and we couldn't have asked for anything more! The apartment was clean and modern, the bedrooms were huge upstairs with walk in Wardrobes and the master bedroom had an ensuite. Each room had their own LCD TV mounted on the wall with cable channels.
It was still a little cold in April but the apartment was always warm and toasty. There was spare bedding and pillows for everyone if we needed. The appliances in the whole apartment were all top notch. We all washed and dried clothes & towels daily.
The location was walking distance from Times Square and the Rockefeller centre and very close to 5th Ave where all the shopping action is at.
I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this apartment to larger groups travelling to NYC.

The United States Canoe Association (USCA) National Stock Aluminum Canoe and Downriver Kayak Marathon Championships will take place Saturday, June 21, 2014. According to the (USCA) announcement, the course will be eighteen (18) miles on the French Broad River in Henderson County, North Carolina. The same course presently used for the first day of the annual French Broad Classique Race.
The course starts at Blantyre, North Carolina, and continues downstream to the Westfield River Park. This stretch is a terrific venue for paddling racing. The course has good views of Pisgah National Forest, but is easily accessible.
The Henderson County Parks and Recreation Department maintain both the Blantyre access and the Westfield River Park. The finish at Westfield is within sight of the Asheville Regional Airport. Five (5) highway bridges cross the course between the start and finish, allowing many opportunities for spectators.
Entry Fees: Entry fee will be $25.00 per paddler for adults and $10.00 per paddler for youths. Entry forms will be available in March. USCA membership is required. While we will accept entries up to the morning of the event, it would really help us a lot if you could send them early. See the information on the entry from itself by following the link above or clicking here.
According to Tom Blue of the FB Paddle Racing, Inc., "The day after USCA's National Stock Aluminum Canoe/Downriver Kayak Marathon Championships, FB Paddle Racing will host a Pro Boat Race on the French Broad River. The course will be out and back, starting at the finish line for the Nationals at Westfield River Park near the Asheville, NC airport and going upstream (at first) to the turn at the Kings Bridge (Highway 191)."
However, "The distance is about nine (9) miles at normal water levels and should take around one and a half hours. For a map of the course, CLICK HERE. Registration will be conducted the evening before and morning of (see below), but PLEASE send us an e-mail to let us know if you will be coming; that will really help. Thanks."
Awards / dinner: All USCA awards is Saturday night at the awards barbecue. While the location is yet to be determined, we are hopeful that the facilities for the new Sierra Nevada brewery, currently under construction within a half mile of the finish line, will be available for use. If not, there are plenty of other options and the information, once available, will be on the web site, www.fbcanoeracing.org.

TransmissionsI Am Not a Terrorist!
September 5, 2006

I say this because one of the (hopefully) unplanned effects of some of the antiterrorism laws is that they have made several things more difficult for transgender people. For example, in Missouri, which was one of the first states to react to the REAL ID Act, you need a copy of your birth certificate or a passport in order to renew or get a new drivers license or state ID card. Missouri also is now requiring a valid photo ID in order to vote. Some people may wonder what exactly the issue is.
Here it is: Certain states, like Ohio, will not change or amend the birth certificate. Someone born in Ohio and living in Missouri could be forced to have his or her drivers license show the gender at birth regardless of any surgeries or how this person is living their life. Potentially, you could be a post-operative male-to-female transsexual who has spent thousands of dollars on genital and facial surgeries, hair removal, and legal fees to get her name changed and all identification changed to reflect her new identity. Work records would reflect the new gender, as would her drivers license and Social Security information. But if this person was born in a state that will not amend the birth certificate, she could become legally male by renewing her drivers license.
One of the effects of the Patriot Act, the REAL ID Act, and Voter ID acts is that many government agencies will cross-reference information. So, in the case of this hypothetical person, her Social Security information will have to be verified and changed, which then will cause a letter to go to her employer to mention that the gender on her work records does not match the corrected gender on her Social Security record. This means the person is outed at work at least with the Human Resources department of her employer.
In some states, the documentation required to change gender on legal documents has become stricter. In many states now, and with Social Security, proof of genital surgery is being required. This causes a huge issue with many female-to-male transsexuals who opt not to have any genital surgery because the options are not the best. Phalloplasty is an expense that is out of the reach for most people and isnt guaranteed to succeed. Also, many surgeons will not operate on people who are HIV+, are diabetic, have a history of heart disease, or are overweight. Other people feel, for whatever reasons, that genital surgery is just not that important.
The proposed changes regarding no-match letters could not only out a transgender employee with their employer, but because of the strict timelines that are planned, they could also cost transgender workers their job.
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) submitted a letter to the Department of Homeland Security on August 14th raising the following issues:
1. Gender no-match letters are an invasion of private and privileged medical information. NCTE recommends that gender not be a piece of information that is transmitted or considered between employers and DHS/SSA. Because of SSAs own policies, a persons gender is private medical information.
2. The strict 60-day time limit in which all mismatched information must be rectified among the employer, employee, and SSA imposes a heavy and unfair burden on transgender people. NCTE recommends that the time period be extended to 90- or 120-days to allow sufficient time for individuals to process legal name changes on all relevant government and employment documentation.
3. Transgender people and other people who have recently had a legal name change do not have ready access to multiple forms of I-9 approved identification providing their legal name. NCTE recommends that accommodations be expressly written into the no-match letter procedures allowing for differences in identification requirements for people who have gone through legal name changes.
4. The anti-discrimination aspects of the proposed procedure need to be strengthened to explicitly protect transgender people from adverse employment action. NCTE recommends that explicit protections for persons whose appearance might not match the social norms associated with their gender or their name be included in the proposed rule by expanding the existing protective language regarding foreign appearance or accent.*

There are a couple of things that I would like to add to this months column.
First, Id like to congratulate Jolie Justus on her victory in the Democratic primary for the 10th Senate District in Missouri.
Second, I ask that everyone in the greater Kansas City area be involved in some way with the 19th annual Creating Change Conference which will be in Kansas City this November. Its an excellent way to meet people from all over the nation and it will get you fired up to create changes for the better for the LGBT community and all allied communities.

This is an interesting time to be a race fan. Rapid changes in technology both in and out of the racecar are poised to change the sport forever, which may or may not be a good thing. Fans of the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship were given a brief glimpse of this at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, where they DeltaWing as well as Mazda Prototype utilized totally different methods to try and compete, and win, in the modern racing world.
The next big step, however, is away from our addiction to fossil fuels and towards less environmentally harmful ways to power our sports and our modern lives. One of these methods is by utilizing electric motors, powered by advanced batteries, to propel racing machines at amazing speeds from all levels of the power curve. Formula E, the FIA's new global electric racing series, is the leader is this new technology and in it's application to sportscars.
The series, based within the grounds of the Donington Park Racing Circuit in the UK, has just begun construction of a 44,000ft² headquarters, complete with state-of-the-art facilities for each of the 10 Formula E teams, together with offices, stores and workshops for Formula E's own operational staff – totaling more than 150 people. In addition, the Formula E teams - all of which have now been announced - will use the Donington Park circuit for their testing and development work on the fully-electric Spark-Renault SRT_01E race car.
The new facilities, located in Donington's Western Paddock, just 100 metres from the circuit itself at the Melbourne Hairpin entry, will also comply with the "Very Good" BREEAM sustainable construction standards and with the UK Government's Low Carbon Economy and the National Planning Policy Framework requirements. This will ensure teams benefit from high environmental standards, effective energy management systems and the reduction of carbon emissions wherever possible – in-line with Formula E's sustainability ethos.
Alejandro Agag, CEO of Formula E, said: "We looked at a number of locations around Europe but the British motorsport industry is regarded as the best in the world so it was an easy decision for us to be based in the UK and our new facilities at Donington Park provide the perfect central location for operating the FIA Formula E Championship. Being in the 'Motorsport Valley' also means we can take advantage of the technology and skills all around us, as we have already done through McLaren and Williams.
Formula E is a new FIA Championship using electric single-seater race cars capable of speeds in excess of 225km/h. Beginning this September in Beijing, the series will compete in the heart of 10 of the world's leading cities including London, Miami and Rio de Janeiro. Ten teams, each with two drivers, will go head-to-head to create a unique and exciting racing series designed to appeal to a new generation of motorsport fans whilst accelerating the electric vehicle market and promoting sustainability.
"All 10 teams will soon have top facilities at their disposal in a modern, sustainable building, as well as direct access to the circuit to develop their cars," Agag continued. "We are also just a stone's throw from East Midlands Airport and the hub of our logistics partner DHL, meaning will we make substantial cost and emission savings. It's also great for such an innovative and global racing series to be based at a historic race track like Donington Park and we're looking forward to welcoming the teams."
All works will be complete by the end of April with the first teams moving in on 1st May. Formula E's commercial aspects will continue to operate out of its London offices.
Christopher Tate, Managing Director of Donington Park Racing Ltd, said: "Formula E and all its teams committing to this location here at Donington Park, the heart of British motor sport, is a critical forward leap for this company, for this wonderful race track, and for our region. Already there are dozens of civil engineers and technicians at work on the construction project. From May, around 150 highly technical racing engineers will be preparing and testing their all-new Formula E electric cars here. Three years after this company took over the estate; this is a major landmark moment for Donington Park."
The next eight drivers to join Formula E's new Drivers' Club have today been revealed with Bruno Senna, Sébastien Bourdais, Oriol Servia, Daniel Abt, Narain Karthikeyan, Christijan Albers, Franck Montagny & John R. Hildebrand Jr. all showing their support for the new global electric racing series.
Brazil's Bruno Senna, nephew of the late Ayrton Senna, raced in Formula One from 2010 to 2012 driving for HRT, Renault and Williams before switching to sportscars and the FIA World Endurance Championship. Frenchman Sébastien Bourdais is one of the most successful drivers in the history of the Champ Car World Series, having won four successive titles from 2004 to 2007, as well as racing for Toro Rosso in Formula One in 2008 and the start of 2009. Spaniard Oriol Servia has been racing in the US since 1998, winning the Indy Lights title in 1999 and steadily rising through the ranks to compete in the IndyCar Series.
Fresh from his victory at the Rolex 24, Sébastien Bourdais added "Formula E is a really exciting project and a really big innovation in motor racing. You don't get to be a part of such technological advances very often in a career. I would be extremely happy to discover the car and begin racing next September, and I believe the best way to achieve that is to be part of the Drivers' Club."
Meanwhile, India's Narain Karthikeyan has raced in Formula One for Jordan and HRT, as well as testing for Williams F1, and last year competed in the Auto GP Series. Daniel Abt, 21 from Germany, comes from a successful motorsport family competing in German F3, F3 Euroseries, GP3 and now GP2. Christijan Albers is a Dutch racing driver who after enjoying success in DTM drove in Formula One from 2005 until 2007 before returning to sportscars. Frenchman Franck Montagny has competed on a variety of platforms from Formula 3 and World Series to Formula One, including three podiums in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Finally, US driver John R. Hildebrand Jr. has raced in Indy Lights and IndyCar, winning the 2011 Rookie of the Year, in addition to testing with the Force India F1 Team.
"With Formula E, we have no doubt this new centre will come to act as a technical hub for the future development of these exciting new technologies not just for the motorsport industry, but for the wider automotive sector as a whole," Tate continued. "Everyone here now awaits the first test day for these new cars on this historic and demanding race track."
Final driver signings for the inaugural Formula E season will remain up to the individual teams.

Clean-Energy Execs Take Pitch for Climate Bill to White House
By Michael Burnham in the New York Times, October 7 2009
Clean-energy company executives and investors met with White House officials today to make their case for a federal cap on emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases.
"We have come here this morning with one particular request, and that is that we pass comprehensive climate change and energy policy legislation this year," said Entergy Corp. CEO Wayne Leonard, who was one of more than 100 U.S. executives who met with Obama administration officials at the White House. "We want to get America back in the business of exporting technology instead of dollars."

What we put into our bodies fuel our actions and help us sustain more productive and healthy lives. Without nutrition, our health, education and economic development is put at great risk. Many of the more fortunate tend to forget how malnutrition affects everyday life and how serious its implications can be. Chronic hunger disables many children from attending school and prevents the intended effects of medical treatment. With greater food security countries will experience more stabilized economies and greater advantages in medicine.
In a world where there is more than enough food to feed the global population, severe hunger still plagues the lives of over 840 million people. As climate change continues to lead to extreme and unpredictable weather, farmers fall on difficult times. Women and children are hit the hardest when food security is low. The Lancet states that malnutrition is responsible for the deaths of 3.1 million children (ages 5 and under) every year.
With help from developed nations such as the United States, these hunger statistics can be significantly reduced. Passing the Global Food Security Act of 2013 (H.R. 2822) would be the first step in saving the lives of millions around the globe. This bill would ensure long term investment in agricultural development coming from the United States. Working with multiple agencies including other governments, private companies, and developing partners allows smallholder farmers access to new training, more advanced techniques, and necessary investments that strengthen local food markets.
Food security efforts focusing on smallholder farmers is a key concept in this legislation. These efforts will maximize opportunities to create a larger and more sustainable food production while increasing the farmers incomes. When local farmers are able to sufficiently sustain themselves and their families, they successfully move from deprivation to producing enough food for their communities, and their country as well.
With legislation like this enacted and enforced by a powerful country such as the US, millions around the world are lifted out of poverty and given the chance to live healthy and productive lives. The return on this action is not just a moral one, but a financial one as well. As more people move out of poverty and into more financially stable situations, national security strengthens, overpopulation declines, education flourishes and new global consumers emerge.
Be a force of change by contacting your local representatives and asking for their support in passing this bill, not only for the millions who go hungry each year but for a safer and more prosperous future for the American people.

New Stock Coverage: Fairway Will Take You Far
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
When even the
land of the matador waves the white flag
in its attempts to stop the bull, it is obvious that Wall Street's animal spirits will not be stopped. The
(^DJI) 0.97% increase, good enough for a new record, was left in the shade by Athens, whose market rose by the most in all of Europe. (
National Bank of Greece
(NBG) alone surged some 48% — not bad considering the country only worked for three days last week.)
The Great Gatsby
reintroduced the phase "old sport"
into the lexicon, and
Manchester United
(MANU) lost ground as its
septuagenarian soccer coach said he would finally step down
. Elsewhere, utilities tumbled 2.7% amid all the ebullience, posting the poorest performance of all industry groups. This as the
sector suffered an uncomfortable reminder of its darkest days
Today in economics, analysts expect March business inventories to tick up from February's pace at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. On the earnings front,
AngloGold Ashanti
Cellcom Israel
China Yuchai International
Post Holdings
Supernus Pharmaceutical
(SSYS), and
Take Two Interactive
(TTWO) are all due to release results.
EPL Oil & Gas
(EPL): Shares are begun with a Buy at KeyBanc Capital.
Fairway Group
(NASDAQ:FWM): Bank of America-Merrill Lynch launches Neutral rated research on the recent grocery initial public offering, but BB&T Capital (Buy), Credit Suisse (Outperform), and Guggenheim (Buy) are more upbeat.
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure
(HASI): The clean energy REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is assigned an Outperform at Robert W. Baird.
(PH): The industrial equipment firm is a fresh Buy at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.
Spark Networks

Private jet terminal planned for St. Kitts in Caribbean
Looking for places to land your private jet in the Caribbean?
The eastern Caribbean island of St. Kitts – population: 35,000 — is planning a new private air terminal at its main airport, with service to begin by 2013.
The new terminal will feature upscale lounges, a business center, offices, a landscaped courtyard and an events center. The cost to build it: about $15 million, including $6 million for its first phase, officials said.
Plans call for construction by London-based Veling Limited, with ownership transferred to the government's St. Christopher Air and Sea Ports Authority (SCASPA) at the end of the concession contract.

Kessel deal coming full-circle as Leafs miss out on local star
|06.25.10 at 9:53 pm ET
There were a lot of things about the first round of Friday night's NHL draft that seemed a little funny. Both league-wide and specifically to the Bruins, the first 30 picks were laced with irony and confusion. Some blatant examples: Two perceived top defenseman fell out of the top 10. The team that needed centers took winger Taylor Hall, which led to the team with too many centers taking Tyler Seguin.
A few storylines stand out with the Bruins' new center, one of which is that he was the top-ranked player in the draft by NHL Central Scouting, yet went second. Just as fascinating, however, is the team he went to, and with which pick.
Every young hockey player's dream is to play in the NHL, and with his selection Friday night Seguin will undoubtedly realize his lifelong goal. However, the path to Boston, a city he spoke about with excitement Friday night, ultimately went through the team he grew up admiring as a child.
Born in Brampton, Ontario, Seguin was close enough to Toronto to be a Maple Leafs fan. In addition to being an Original Six rival of the Black and Gold, the Maple Leafs were a trade partner in the move that would eventually bring Seguin to Boston. The Bruins acquired three picks from the Leafs last offseason in the Phil Kessel deal, including the first-rounder that became the pick used on the Plymouth Whalers center.
"Growing up I was the local guy," Seguin said. "I liked watching the Leafs because they were the local team. Now that it happened, I think it's meant to be. I think things worked out throughout my life and anyone's lives. It's just where we were supposed to fall, and Boston was the team that was supposed to pick me."
What makes it so interesting is the story the pick could have been if it stayed in Toronto. The hometown kid who grew up cheering on the Leafs goes to the historic franchise to give them a shot of both youth and scoring. Instead, he's gone to the rival, a Bruins team that has seemed to be knocking at the door for two seasons now.
So does the team that will also see their second-rounder Saturday and first-round pick next year made by the Bruins regret the deal?
"We made this trade," Leafs GM Brian Burke said at the draft. "We took our chance on how our team would finish. We talked about the possibility that it could be a lottery pick. … We said, 'Well what if it is Taylor Hall? What if it is Tyler Seguin?' and we said 'We're going to make that trade anyway.' We got the player we wanted and I hope Boston got the player they wanted."
Seguin: Boston 'is a hockey town'
|06.25.10 at 8:37 pm ET
LOS ANGELES — There is little doubt Tyler Seguin is excited about wearing the Black and Gold and the possibility of immediately playing in the NHL next season.
Minutes after being selected by the Bruins with the second pick in the NHL draft Seguin soaked in the moment and acknowledged his goal is to make the team this season.
'It feels amazing, I can't really describe it,' said Sequin, a native of Brampton, Ontario who netted 48 goals while adding 58 assists playing junior hockey for the Plymouth Whalers last season. 'It's not winning the Stanley Cup but its one of the best feelings I've had so far in my life.'
With the highly anticipated draft process complete and his future team set, Seguin is ready to concentrate fully on his training regime.
'It definitely feels great just to be able to sit back and look down at my (Bruins) jersey' said Seguin. 'I'll try to have a fantastic off season so I'll be able to earn a spot next year.
'The whole journey and this last week in LA has been a phenomenal experience,' he added. 'Right now my main focus is to have an incredible offseason, put on some weight and keep improving in areas I need to.'
Although he is generally considered a center, Seguin can also play the wing.
'He's a highly skilled player,' said Bruins coach Claude Julien on the draft floor Friday. 'We know he can definitely bring some offense to our team.'
Seguin has shown to be a quick study in breaking down opposition defenses, he also has gotten a quick sense of Boston and what playing in New England could bring.
'From meeting with them and visiting Boston, you can just tell by the people that are there already that it's just a phenomenal place to play,' said Seguin whose dad was a captain of the University of Vermont hockey team.'
"There is so much history there with the Bruins, and the fan base and atmosphere. It's a hockey town.'
Report: Oilers tried for deal with Bruins
|06.25.10 at 7:55 pm ET
According to a tweet from ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Oilers general manager "tried until [the] last possible second" to acquire the second overall pick from the Bruins before Peter Chiarelli eventually chose Tyler Seguin. There had been rumors leading up until the draft that the two teams could work out a deal that would secure the Bruins their preferred player, but Chiarelli had stressed prior to the draft that he would not make a deal that involved trading out of the top two picks.
Bruins land Tyler Seguin
|06.25.10 at 7:26 pm ET
LOS ANGELES — In a predictable move following Edmonton's selection of Taylor Hall, the Bruins chose Plymouth Whalers center Tyler Seguin with the second overall pick in the NHL draft, a choice they received from the Maple Leafs in exchange for Phil Kessel.
Seguin was ranked as the top overall player in the draft by NHL's Central Scouting Bureau but, by many accounts may have been a victim of playing for a bad team. While Hall made headlines the past two postseasons, Seguin's Whalers never made it to the Memorial Cup in his two years in Plymouth.
A common player comparison for Seguin has been Red Wings Hall of Fame center Steve Yzerman. A 6-foot-1, 172-pound right-handed shot, Seguin is considered an elite goal-scorer and playmaker. He is known more for a finesse game than a hard-nosed style. Seguin's father played college hockey at the University of Vermont in the 1980's.
After compiling 67 points in his first season with the Whalers, Seguin scored 63 goals and added 58 assists for 106 points. He was awarded the Red Tilson trophy for most outstanding player in the OHL.
There had been talk that the Bruins and Oilers could have worked out a deal in order to secure whichever player the Bruins preferred. While the Bruins would never admit to preferring Hall even if they did, no deal was made.
Oilers take Hall first
|06.25.10 at 7:18 pm ET
LOS ANGELES — The Edmonton Oilers have selected Windsor Spitfires left wing Taylor Hall with the first overall pick in the NHL draft, clearing the way for the Bruins to take Plymouth Whalers center Tyler Seguin second overall.
Hall, 18, was ranked second behind Seguin by the NHL's Central Scouting Bureau but had a better OHL resume, having played in the league for three seasons to Seguin's two. In 57 games for the Spitfires this past season, Hall scored 40 goals and 66 assists for 106 points, which tied him with Seguin for the lead league in points.
Many point to the postseason as a big reason Hall was able to leapfrog Seguin on the Oilers' draft board. In 19 games, Hall racked up 17 goals and 18 assists for 35 points. In addition to sweeping Seguin's Whalers in the playoffs, Hall earned his second consecutive Memorial Cup MVP award by leading the Spitfires to a title. Hall also racked up 12 points (6 G, 6 A) in six games for Team Canada in the World Junior Championship.
Gagne for Thomas? 'No.'
|06.25.10 at 4:32 pm ET
Amidst rumors that the Flyers are looking to shed payroll in order to take on Tim Thomas' contract, a source close to the situation is saying talk that Simon Gagne could be swapped to the Bruins for the goaltender is bogus.
"This is not an accurate rumor at all," the source said.
Salary-wise, it makes sense, as Gagne will carry a $5.25 million cap hit next season, the final year of his deal, while Thomas has three years remaining at $5 million per season. On the ice, however, such a move could upset Flyers fans. Gagne can be counted on for 30 goals a season and is just 30 years old, while Thomas, 36, lost his starting job last season to Tuukka Rask.
The left-winger made a major impression on the Bruins in the postseason this past postseason, scoring in overtime in Game 4, adding two goals in Game 5, and slipping the series-winning goal past Rask in the third period of Game 7.
Gagne was hampered by groin injuries throughout the season and was limited to 58 games. He scored 17 goals and had 23 assists for 40 points after having 34-40-74 totals a year prior.
Report: Tampa can't afford Thomas
|06.25.10 at 2:56 pm ET
Tim Thomas, who has been given permission by the Bruins to talk with other teams about a trade, may not be a fit for one of his most logical suitors. According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, a Tampa Bay source does not believe the Lightning could add Thomas' $5 million salary for the next three seasons without shedding payroll. LeBrun says in a tweet that a move to the Lightning "doesn't look like a fit right now."
The Sharks and Flyers have also been rumored as potential suitors for Thomas. Tampa Bay has over $23 million in cap space, but only 13 players under contract at the NHL level.

Exercise 37 in Apostol $10.20$ asks to find all complex $z$ such that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^n}{z+n}$$ converges.
I suspect this requires the use of either Abel's Test or Dirichlet's Test. My attempt so far has been to set $\{b_n\}=\frac{1}{n}$, which is a decreasing sequence of real numbers that converges to $0$. Then, I set $\{a_n\}=(-1)^n\frac{n}{z+n}$.
As $n\to\infty$, $$\{a_n\} \to (-1)^ne^{i\arg(\frac{n}{z+n})}$$ since $$|\frac{n}{z+n}|=\frac{n}{|z+n|}\to 1$$
In order to prove that this converges for all complex $z\not=-1,-2,\dots$, I must show that $A_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_n$ is a bounded sequence (not necessarily that it converges). This would satisfy the hypotheses for Dirichlet's test.

Chicken and Mushroom Pot Pie
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, stems trimmed and halved if large
4 carrots, cut into rounds
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon thyme, or 2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs and breasts
1 sheet puff pastry (half a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen pearl onions
1/3 cup heavy cream
In a large slow cooker, mix together the mushrooms, carrots, onion, flour, thyme, bay leaf and wine. Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper and place on top.
Cover and cook until the chicken and vegetables are tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours.
Thirty minutes before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees.
Cut the pastry into 4 squares. Place on a baking sheet and bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
Ten minutes before serving, add the peas, onions and cream to the slow cooker. Stir to combine and shred chicken. Cover and cook on high until heated through (10 minutes or more, if needed). Taste and adjust seasonings.
To serve, place the chicken mixture in bowls and top with the pastry squares.

One of the most anticipated tours of 2011 finally kicked off last night at the Philips Arena last night—a main event hyped enough that it didn't even require the services of an opening act—Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne tour. "The build was perfect, even if the execution wasn't," MTV said of the duo's set, mentioning some technical issues the two experienced, but generally giving off a positive impression of the show. Of course, there is video, including of the duo's "Otis" (with a very long Otis Redding intro) and of Jay-Z's "Jigga What, Jigga Who" trading off with Kanye's "Can't Tell Me Nothing."
Watch a couple of the fan videos below, and be sure to check the itinerary to see when the duo are coming to your town. (New York next weekend!)

The Gift of Hard Work
Lax can mean being less strict or lacking in rigor. LAX refers also to lacrosse, a sport that is entirely the opposite.
For ten years now, students on the Royals' women's and men's lacrosse teams have been training and competing rigorously.
"I don't think people realize the commitment that it takes to be a college student athlete at the D2 level and at Queens," said Coach Jim Fritz. "It is all-year-round, mostly 20 hours a week of practice, lifting, film, scout reports, games, etc." Oh, and those training sessions? They're at 6:00 a.m., before a full day of classes.
Caitlin O'Rourke '11 says playing lacrosse taught her "the value of hard work and what it means to work so diligently for what you want."
At the same time, the current Queens admissions counselor said lacrosse introduced her to people who challenged her to do more than she ever thought she could and benefitted her in ways she "could never have imagined."
The lacrosse program itself has expanded in ways unimaginable ten years ago. The program has "grown tremendously," Fritz said. "There was a certain amount of trepidation about adding lacrosse here when we started. But, as we matured as a program, I feel the players have really done a great job becoming an integral part of campus."
Randy Jones '08 played four years while studying communications, then volunteered with the program for a year before assistant coaching for two more. He fondly remembers playing his first seasons at Memorial Stadium. "We were right in the city for every home game," he said. "No matter the outcome of the game, I know those players envied our program and saw its potential right away."
The team was young when Jones started out, so there was "a lot of learning on the job, you could say." But the team was committed to helping "make a footprint for the program in the lacrosse world."
Speaking of jobs, Jones credited lacrosse with professional benefits too. "Most of my job opportunities have come from those who I met along my journey while playing and coaching lacrosse," said Jones, a vendor business manager for a data storage company in Baltimore.
Lacrosse also prepared O'Rourke to be a team player at work. "Lacrosse has taught me how to work with others on my team, be on time, work hard, and love what I do."
Brittany Phillips '12, a sports communication major who now works in Charlotte for a marketing firm (and coaches for two lacrosse clubs), sums up the impact best: "I will never be able to give back to lacrosse what it has given to me."
Stephan Leblanc '09, who continues to play lacrosse professionally in Toronto, Canada today, echoes that sentiment: "Lacrosse has provided me with everything I have in life. Without the game I would be lost."

Richmond, VA - Please see below for an endorsement from the Loudoun Times-Mirror recommending Tim Kaine for the United States Senate:
"Gov. Kaine was faced with a more challenging scenario during his tenure, which saw the beginnings of the economic recession. It was a time for tough choices, which forced him to cut the state budget by $5 illion, but there was still the opportunity for an investment in education. The end result was Virginia maintaining its bond rating and its Forbes rank as best state in business. Additionally, he has demonstrated a unique intellectual agility and an openness to new ideas and approaches that the country needs.
"In a choice between two former governors, the current economic landscape leaves us favoring the one with experience dealing in hard economic times. We endorse Tim Kaine."
Read the rest of the endorsement here.
