A simplistic analogy of obvious disparities between these two masters that I concocted on the beach in Provincetown. As a disclaimer: my filmed comparisons relating H.F. & S.B. should in no way be construed with the quality or intentions of these high priests of filmmaking. Just koaning around.

The recent mass fruiting of forest trees in Borneo is an urgent wakeup call: existing policy instruments, financial mechanisms, and forestry infrastructure are inadequate to take full advantage of these infrequent opportunities for for- est restoration and conservation. Tropical forest restoration can provide sub- stantial benefits for biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and poverty alleviation. Yet the unpredictability of the synchronized flowering and consequent mass fruiting of many forest trees in Borneo presents a distinctive set of challenges for forest restoration. Significant financing and a considerable coordinated effort are required to prepare for future mass fruiting events if we are to capitalize on opportunities for ecological restoration. The continued high rate of forest clearance in this region and the rarity of mass fruiting events suggest that there may be few remaining opportunities to prevent widespread species extinctions. In this article we propose a facilitatory policy framework for forest restoration in Borneo to stimulate action in advance of the next mass fruiting of forest trees.

I was extremely honored to sit recently with Washington D.C.'s Deputy Mayor for Education Abigail Smith. Our conversation started with me asking for her opinion on the state of public education in the District today. She answered almost before I could finish getting the words out of my mouth. "I think we are in an incredibly good place," Ms. Smith replied. "There is a real optimism out there. We still have an incredibly long way to go, but we are now seeing both qualitative and quantitative progress across both the traditional and charter school sectors." I then inquired of her to name specifically the quantitative indicators to which she was referring. "There are huge indicators," Ms. Smith responded. "Enrollment is going up in each school system; families have faith and optimism in our offerings. The rich choice we have here locally certainly helps. The test scores are also a positive indication of how the quality of public education is rising. Some people may criticize the recent NAEP scores, and we know they are not at the level that we want them to be, but the jump in the scores has outpaced everyone else. This is a big deal. We have a momentum that we could not say that we had just a few years ago."
Ms. Smith continued, "The other aspect of public education in the District that really excites me is the kind of collaborative work between schools and between sectors that we are now seeing. There are tons of individual examples of this activity. In addition, we have had a tremendous response to the common lottery. By the close of the first round application period for high schools, over 3,000 children had applied for the high school lottery through MySchool D.C. For the Pre-Kindergarten to eighth grade lottery so far over 9,000 kids have signed up and the application period will be open until March 3rd. When we look at who has participated it is distributed across the city and across sectors. This is a great example of something people said could not be done in this town. But we were able to accomplish this feat by bringing stakeholders together and listening to what they had to say."
I had never before personally met the Deputy Mayor. My only experience with her was in meetings. But I did have an overwhelming immediate reaction to the information she was providing. I can sum it up in one word: competence. I asked Ms. Smith what direction Mayor Gray has provided to her in completing her work. Again, she answered without hesitation.
"He said to me during our very first meeting that he absolutely believes that having high performing schools in every part of the city has to be our main objective. In his view charter schools play an important role in this effort. At the same time, the Mayor has unwavering support for DCPS and Chancellor Henderson's leadership. He is not interested in competition between public schools. He wants to see all of us working together to achieve the basic goal of quality in every corner of the city. "
I then reminded Ms. Smith of the goals she identified for her department last June when she met with charter leaders. They are:
1. Provide DCPS with chartering authority with the ability to have schools with a neighborhood preference,
2. Create a data system to assess programmatic education needs across the city,
3. Provide facilities to charter schools,
4. Access city's ability to serve various student subgroups focusing on at-risk children,
5. Update the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula to provide funding equity between the two systems,
6. Institute a common lottery,
7. Form "Re-Engagement Centers" which are "a one-stop shop" for disconnected youth that will reconnect them with appropriate educational and support services, and
8. Simplify student assignment by initiating feeder patterns from DCPS schools to charters and the reverse.
I then asked the Deputy Mayor for updates on each item. Regarding providing the Chancellor with chartering authority Ms. Smith stated that not much progress has been made in this area. "We introduced a bill, but we are also exploring other alternatives to give Ms. Henderson the flexibility she desires so that she can reach her goals," the Deputy Mayor explained.
Ms. Smith indicated that her office has done much work around design of a data warehouse. "We have culled information around facilities, test scores, and demographics across sectors, along with population projections by neighborhood. We recently released the Adequacy Report which contains a wealth of information regarding school financing. We have also made a lot of headway in terms of making data on public schools more accessible to families. Along with the D.C. Public Charter School Board, The Office of the State Superintendent of Education, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, and District of Columbia Public Schools we developed the Equity Report that compares schools to one another across various characteristics. Parents also have access to Learn DC which has a host of statistics regarding traditional schools and charters."
I gave Ms. Smith credit for identifying 16 shuttered school buildings that can be leased to charters or for other community uses. But the Deputy Mayor is not satisfied. "We want to improve the Request for Offer procedure regarding these buildings. The goal is to do a better job of identifying the needs of the community and to become smarter about where we site programs. Something that is extremely important to me is that facilities that were school buildings remain as school buildings."
I discussed with Ms. Smith the issue of the city serving at-risk children in terms of the recent decision by the PCSB to begin the revocation process against Options PCS. The Deputy Mayor had much to say on this topic. "Options PCS has presented us with a complicated and difficult challenge. The charter is not serving these children well. Providing severely emotionally and physically disabled students a quality education has been a challenge across the country. Many of these kids have already been moved from school to school. Collaboration between all parties is really important right now. We have to take the attitude that this is not your problem or my problem but our problem. When we all come together then the right outcome becomes apparent."
I changed the subject to her department's outreach to the public around the common lottery. Here Ms. Smith became excited. "We are receiving many positive comments about the process from both parents and schools. Our staff has knocked on thousands of doors concentrating on areas of town where parents may not have as much access to information about picking schools for their children. People were able to signup right then. We have had office hours, people can call our hotline, and staff in all libraries are available to assist with access to the lottery."
I then asked the Deputy Mayor about goal number 7 around disconnected youth. The Deputy Mayor answered, "Students that leave school that are in the 16 to 21 years of age group are often lost forever. These are the people that often end up in jail or worse. When they become disconnected like this it becomes much harder to reach them. My office, OSSE, and D.C.'s Department of Employment Services, are working together to launch a Re-Engagement Center. We have developed a proactive outreach strategy. The goal is to conduct a pilot plan this spring with an implementation of a full scale program the next fiscal year." Re-Engagement Centers frequently offer individuals who have left school assistance with tutoring, child care, job training, and other services so that they can graduate from high school or obtain a GED.
I concluded my time with the Deputy Mayor by asking about the move to have DCPS elementary school students feed into charter middle schools. She informed me that a number of interesting conversations have taken place between DCPS and the D.C. International Charter School, although nothing definitive has been worked out. She said that this type of collaboration was also on the table to be discussed during the student assignment review process. Ms. Smith revealed that changes to the School Reform Act would be required to make new feeder relationships between charters and traditional schools a reality.
We then engaged in a general philosophical discussion around school choice during which the Deputy Director paused to make sure I knew how proud she was of her 10 person staff that has been able to achieve so much over just the last 10 months that she has been in her position. Her kindness to me over the hour and her compliments to her team reinforced to me how fortunate we are to have Abigail Smith as our Deputy Mayor for Education.

"Extreme Weight Loss" star Chris Powell said implementing a carb cycling diet and combining weight-training with cardio exercise are the keys to getting a great beach body.
Powell, who has helped hundreds of morbidly obese people lose thousands of pounds over the years, said cardio exercise is the fastest way to burn a lot of calories. "Keep up the cardio," Chris told ABC News. "It's important to get your heart rate up, and the best way to do that is to run."
Cardio Exercise and Weight-Lifting Are Unbeatable Combo
However, Powell underscored that you also have to do weight-training to build lean muscle mass, which helps burns calories and fat around the clock.
Another summer weight-loss tip is to make sure you drink enough water. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger, so it's important to stay hydrated.
"Drink a gallon of water every day," said Powell. "You don't have to drink it all at once, but make sure your total water consumption for the day equals a gallon."
Chris: Carb Cycling Accelerates Weight Loss
Powell is a proponent of a carb-cycling diet, or alternating between days of high-carb intake and low-carb intake, to keep your metabolism fired up. Chris detailed his rapid weight-loss plan in his bestseller, Choose to Lose: The 7-Day Carb Cycle Solution.
On Powell's carb-cycling meal plan, you can eat 1,200 calories on a low-carb day, 1,500 calories on a high-carb day, and up to 2,400 calories on a cheat day (with varying amounts of carbs for each day).
Chris' carb-cycling meal plan breakdown looks like this:
- Eat five meals a day.
- Eat a high-carb breakfast that includes both protein and carbs within 30 minutes of waking.
- Eat your remaining four meals, either high-carb or low-carb, every three hours.
- Drink a gallon of water a day.
Chris said cycling carbs is better than an extreme low-carb diet, which he says do help you lose weight, but may backfire over the long haul, resulting in stalled weight loss or rebound weight gain.
Powell, who also wrote Choose More, Lose More For Life, advocates daily workouts, but said if you're not a regular exerciser, start off by doing something five minutes a day.
"It can be anything from running around the block, or just marching in place when you're watching television," he said. "When it comes to creating a lifestyle of fitness, we need to start out small. We need to focus on something attainable that everyone can do."
Powell currently appears on season 4 of "Extreme Weight Loss," and continues to be inspired by the incredible personal stories of the people he helps. "They never cease to amaze us," he said.

After connecting to OVPN, I need to add many routes (more than 3000).
It can be done by
sudo reoute add X.X.X.X/X X.X.X.X for each one rules, but it's really slow. Is there any other alternative methods to add them more quickly?
To be more clear, I use a bash script to achieve this, so the problem should be how to write a more efficient bash script.

Reviewed By Steve S (Glen Mills, PA) Reviewed for a 2015 Dodge Journey —2/24/2015 5:23 PM
I bought these without any previous knowledge of the product, but it sounded good. This is one of those times that this was a great idea and it worked out perfectly. I am using these in both a Dodge Journey (rear seat) and a Subaru Crosstrek (rear seat). They fit great, a bit big for the Crosstrek but can tuck in if need be as no rear seat airbags.. Within the first week our puppy who never gets sick in the car, got sick in the car. I removed, washed, air dryed and re-installed. Perfect!

A trio of young people carrying suspected air rifles were chased out of the cemetery by members of the Friends of Wombwell Cemetery group over the weekend.
Mike Bretton said: "We have had it before and we will have it again because some people like to roam around with air rifles.
"The local idiots spoil things for people and the parents need to take more control.
"I suppose squirrels are classed as vermin but they are not treated as such in the cemetery."
The local Safer Neighbourhood Team patrolled the cemetery after the reports.

Box Score
EUGENE, Ore. – Washington dropped its second-straight on the road after hanging with the quick tempo of Oregon for most of the game. The Dawgs (10-9, 3-5 Pac-12) just couldn't finish off the Ducks (11-8, 2-6 Pac-12), who used a run in the final minutes to secure the victory.
Washington was again led by its backcourt as Jazmine Davis scored 30 points for the third time this season, while Kelsey Plum added 23. Senior Mercedes Wetmore chipped in 12 points, seven assists and just one turnover.
It was not enough, however. The pace at which Oregon plays causes more possessions and shots than a normal game. Although Davis and Plum combined for 53 points, 13 over their season average, the duo shot just 16-49 from the floor.
Meanwhile, Oregon standout Jillian Alleyne scored 34 points and had 25 rebounds to lead the Ducks to victory. Oregon did not shoot a high percentage from 3-point range, but Alleyne was excellent inside, picking up 11 offensive rebounds and scoring in the paint. The Ducks finished with 58-47 edge on the glass, despite 13 rebounds from Aminah Williams and a career-best 10 boards from Chantel Osahor.
The Ducks led by as many as 11 in the first half, but the Huskies clawed back in it behind 18 points from Davis. Both teams made seven threes in the first half as Oregon led 46-42 at the break.
In the second half, Washington got some stops to start the half and a 3-pointer from Plum and a layup from Wetmore gave Washington a lead. The teams would trade baskets for much of the half with the Dawgs lead growing to no larger than four.
The Dawgs were within four as late as 5:16 to play, but would get no closer. Oregon went on a 14-3 run over the next 3:11 to push the lead to 15. Washington was unable to mount any kind of desperation comeback as the Ducks finished off the victory.
Washington tied its season high, making 14 3-pointers. It needed one more attempt (38) than the previous season high in a win over UC Irvine. The Ducks were just 9-35 from distance, but made up for it with second-chance points and getting to the foul line. Oregon made 30-37 from the foul line, while Washington was just 13-20.
The Dawgs will continue with their four-game road swing next weekend in Los Angeles. The Dawgs take on UCLA on Friday night at 8 p.m. and USC on Sunday at 11 a.m.

During the last two months I haven't updated this blog. This calls for a thorough explanation and some planning for the future. Let's take a look at the latest articles that I've published:
All of them, except for the PlanetDB2 one, were highly researched articles which saw their fair share of success. I define the success of a post by evaluating the size of the audience and the volume of feedback received. Even when they were somewhat misinterpreted by a few people (for example in the case of Top 10 Rails tips), I was still happy with the outcome.
The last post was not particularly successful, but that was not a surprise. In fact, it was just an update focusing on DB2, which seems to be one of the most underrated gem in the development community (it really deserves much more attention).
So how did two months go by without publishing anything? It's a mix of three factors: I've been very busy in my professional and personal life, I had a hardware failure, and I've been a bit too much of a perfectionist.
I wanted to top my previous articles and started working on a new, bigger and better shootout. Then the machine I was running my tests on decided to die unexpectedly. It sucks, but such is life. And here the exact mix of perfectionism and busyness kicks in. I didn't want to come up with smaller, less interesting articles while the PC was out on warranty repair (as it still is), and I didn't want to run the tests on a different machine. The result is that despite having many topics to talk about, this blog has shown 2 months of ugly silence.
It's time for me to change this trend. While I strongly believe in quality rather than quantity, and I'm very busy, a blog that is not updated is a blog that won't have a bright future. For this reason, I've decided to try to update the blog at least once a week if not more often.
Clearly not all the articles will be highly popular, but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that the site is and will keep growing with qualitative material about programming. I'm adopting a Dan Fante's approach1 to this. And if it means that the blog becomes more "personal" so be it, the URL has my own name after all.
In the meantime I've launched another blog about Mathematics (a long standing passion of mine). It's called Math Blog: Mathematics is Wonderful! and you can find it at http://math-blog.com.
This blog received so much attention during the first days of its life that Digg users forced my hosting provider to pull all the sites on my account off the web.
I've now gone with a server from Liquid Web.
They are fully managed and they take care of preparing, maintaining and securing your server (albeit I did some further hardening myself).
After researching a lot about managed dedicated servers and managed VPSs, I've settled with LW because I've found only great reviews about them and their prices are more than fair. From what I've gathered so far, they are equivalent to a cheaper version of RackSpace. If you can't justify spending 400 bucks at RackSpace, then a dedicated or Virtual Private Server from Liquid Web may be the way to go, especially if you are moving out of the shared hosting market (by the way they also provide shared hosting). So far they've truly gone the extra mile more than once, and answered my calls at 3 and 5 AM right away. Math Blog is already hosted there and I plan to move AntonioCangiano.com there within a month or two. I'll probably blog more in detail about LW very soon.
The new server is great, but it also costs more than a shared hosting solution, therefore I've decided after more than a year and half of blogging here, to add ads to all my sites and blogs. If I invest time, passion and energy in this, I don't see why recovering the expenses and then some isn't the right thing to do. How I see this is: a blog can be seen as an online magazine that is often published by one editor only. You usually pay for printed magazines and inevitably you still have advertising in them. Blogs on the other hands are entirely free, which means that ads – in my book – are well justified.
As soon as I've gotten my PC back from having it repaired, I will prepare the Ruby shootout and publish the results. Until then I won't stop the presses though.
[1] I don't know if any of you have the exact quote, but Dan Fante said something along the lines of that he would write 10 pages every day no matter if they are good or bad. This is very loosely paraphrased and don't worry, I won't publish the bad ones ;-).

No contextual links! Please God, they are the scourge of the internet. Ok, so it's easy enough to block the js from loading – but it's a huge pain in the ass to have random links cropping up everywhere and invariably getting in your face when you hover over them. Blegh!
I didn't like them (the automatic ones) either, so I got rid of them and updated this post.
Wow thanks! I'm a regular reader and enjoy your work. Keep it up!
You were dangerously close to being dropped from my RSS reader due to inactivity
I've decided to try to update the blog at least once a week if not more often.
8 days since your last post…hadn't you said you'd post at least once a week?
:)) I'm kidding obviously. 😉
I do know how difficult is to keep the own blog updated, especially because of the lack of time spare for posting.

The Hunterdon County Smart Growth Natural Resources Committee assisted the Hunterdon County Planning Board in preparing a GIS-based (computer mapping and analysis) model that evaluates landscape features in two ways. First, it assesses the relative environmental sensitivity of different areas. Secondly, it assesses the landscape based on development constraints posed by various environmental features. The Environmental Assessment is a planning tool that the County will include in its new Growth Management Plan. It is also a tool that municipalities can use for their respective local planning decisions. Please click below for further information and findings from the Model:

LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane stepped up to the penalty spot to take the kick in the dying minutes -- awarded after a Real Salt Lake player was whistled for a controversial hand ball inside the penalty area by a replacement referee.
That the hand ball didn't even take place was immaterial. Replays clearly showed that the player nearest the red-white Adidas Brazuca ball was actually Galaxy forward Rob Friend who stuck out his 6-4 frame near the ball as it continued floating past him -- striking neither of his over-sized digits in the process.
Keane essentially got a gift on this penalty kick, one he bent towards Real Salt Lake goalie Nick Rimando's far post. But Rimando was up to the task, leaping to his right as far as he could -- saving the kick and preserving RSL's 1-0 win on Saturday, March 8 at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.
Real Salt Lake (1-0) gave Cassar his first win as a head coach in Major League Soccer with Rimando's diving save. But as even Rimando would point out, it wasn't just him and his nine saves -- most of which bordered on spectacular -- that saved the day.
"Appreciate all the kind words but lets not forget all the hard work defensively the TEAM put in to get a result against a very good LA side," Rimando tweeted after the game.
Rimando was right; RSL used unknown Aaron Maund at center back -- replacing an injured Chris Schuler. Maund was effective, stymieing Keane and new forward Jerome, another in a long line of one-name Brazilian imports who dribble the ball too much and look good -- but are ineffective nonetheless in Major League Soccer.
LA's vaunted counter-attack was stifled, time and again, by Maund -- a 6-foot-1-inch Notre Dame product from the fighting Boston suburb of Dorchester and a dual citizen of both the U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago. The Galaxy had 21 shots to RSL's eight -- yet it was the defense of Maund and RSL that did the talking, along with Rimando.
Maund had played in just 18 MLS games prior to his start Saturday. But he, Nicky, the RSL defense and a Joao Plata goal in the 80th minute stood up to give Cassar his first win -- this after Luke Mulholland's rebound goal was disallowed in the 75th for no apparent reason.
This win also gave RSL fans early hope when everyone in Major League Soccer, including its own Web site, predicted RSL would finish no better than third in the West -- and when no one, not even Sports Illustrated would dare suppose this RSL team had a chance to lift the MLS Cup this year.

Diabetes fatigue is caused by an imbalance in blood sugar. If you are diabetic, your glucose may not be properly distributed and used which can cause ups and downs and cause you to feel tired.
Because glucose, or sugar, is what the body uses for energy, diabetics may have it floating in the bloodstream instead of being properly utilized. You will feel constantly fatigued, if this is the case.
Insulin is a hormone that controls the way the cells use the glucose that is stored in fat cells and is in the foods we eat. Diabetics don't release enough insulin to control the distribution and proper use so they don't have energy, yet their bloodstreams may have high sugar contents, known as high blood sugar. Once blood sugar levels remain normal, the feeling of fatigue will subside.
There are several ways to eliminate diabetes fatigue. If you are in beginning stages of diabetes, you just need to lose excess weight and eat a balanced diet. Diabetes fatigue can be controlled through diet and exercise in many cases.
Certain types of diabetes don't respond to natural health adjustments and may require oral medicine or insulin injections. In the case of these more complicated cases, you still need to get exercise, plenty of sleep, and get on a steady eating schedule that is not high in carbohydrates and sugars, to eliminate the highs and lows that cause the fatigue, and energy crashes.
Other things you can try to relieve diabetic fatigue is relaxing, meditation, positive visualization and breathing exercises to keep stress levels down and keep blood pressure down. If you have diabetes and fatigue symptoms, avoid artificial stimulants such as coffee and other energy supplements because you will be overly tired when they wear off and you can become dependent on them, without getting any results.
Diabetic fatigue can be treated by making some lifestyle changes. If you eat a proper diet, get regular physical activity, get to your proper body weight, get plenty of sleep, limit your consumption of alcohol or caffeine, and practice stress management techniques, you can eliminate the highs and lows that cause fatigue.
Some diabetics may not be able to control the illness with lifestyle changes, so it is important to see a doctor if you continue to experience chronic fatigue. You may have improper blood sugar levels that are not being controlled properly and this can have long-term health consequences. Natural treatments are the most desired remedies, but they don't adequately affect certain types of diabetes.
It is important to take the necessary steps to balance blood sugar levels in order to alleviate the fatigue, and medication can often remedy the problem. You may still need to take the natural precautions, either way.
The easiest remedy is to get
plenty of sleep and that includes the deep sleep known as REM or rapid
eye movement sleep. If you get tired during the middle of the day, you
may want to take a nap, if you can. Don't push yourself too hard and
realize that balancing blood sugar levels can take time and changes
every time you eat something. Fatigue is a symptom of diabetes that can
be remedied with the right treatments.
If you have questions about diabetes fatigue, please contact us.
There is fatigue that is cause by two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Type 2 can be control, or managed by exercise, and adherence to strict dieting methods.
Type 2 is very much unlike type 1, but can be just as detrimental, because complications over a long period of time of high blood sugar, can increase the risk of:
Type 2 is cause by two main factors, lifestyle and genetics. Obesity- has contributed to about 55% of type 2 diabetes, with these two resources,
There are factors that assist in type 2, they are:
We come now to the Diabetes Type 1. It simple means your enemy is within you, it has the character of cancer, because it cause autoimmune disease which means it destroys insulin making cells of the pancreas.
Unlike type 2, type 1 is fatal if not treated with insulin, and can be differentiated by a C-peptide.
These are the factors that can lead to diabetes fatigue, as you can see, the ball is not always in your hands, because of genetic factors, but when it does land in your hands, please be aware of it's awesome power, it you don't handle it right away.

Hello Aveek, I'm looking for a command-wise compatibility of Alliance with Design Compiler. Alliance is used for Digital design and Design Compiler is an industry EDA tool. If "herb" developers make some progress in the future, I will replace alliance by herb. Herb is a fork of alliance. The problem with Alliance/herb is that it demands a hard learning curve. Thereby many people get fed up with alliance. At the same time, a lot of the manual tasks(things which should be automated) are required by the designer. A simple example, to report the timing of any path, it takes a lot of effort to first find the path. Hence as a designer point of view, I'm spending 80% of the design time on the software rather on the design itself. This is very bad.(Continue reading)

Heart Failure: Exercise Can Help
Reuters reports aerobic exercise reverses signs of heart failure:
In patients with heart failure, aerobic training can help the organ pump better, investigators report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.Makes you wonder how people can say they don't have time to exercise.
In contrast, Dr. Mark J. Haykowsky and colleagues observed that strength training, either alone or in combination with aerobic training, appeared to be of no benefit. These opposing findings may underlie the inconsistent results of studies of exercise training in patients with heart failure.
Haykowsky, from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and colleagues searched for relevant studies and identified 14 trials that assessed heart performance in 812 stable patients with heart failure. Nine trials evaluated aerobic training, four evaluated combined aerobic and strength training, and one involved strength training alone.
Aerobic training improved heart function significantly, the results showed.

When Katie Akin talks, Vice President Joe Biden listens. That's because Akin – a graduate student member of the UNC Title IX Task Force – was invited to sit at the table next to the vice president on Tuesday (Feb. 18) at the first "listening session" of the White House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault, formed by President Obama in January.
And she gave him an earful. "I told him that the listening sessions were a welcome approach, but that law makers needed to institute ongoing feedback from survivors, their allies, and people working directly with Title IX if they really want to make any difference," she said. "I also said that the federal government should demonstrate that they are serious about this work by funding programs that support Title IX and empower survivors."
Akin's five recommendations urged government transparency, sensitivity and humility in Title IX-related issues:
1. Support public discussions of the institutionalization of sexual and gender-based forms of harassment, discrimination and violence, no matter how difficult.
2. Guide colleges on how to interpret and implement federal Title IX policies.
3. Increase funding for educational programs and trainings to prevent sexual and gender-based harassment, discrimination and violence on campuses
4. Revise the language used in Title IX policies to reflect equal respect for all people who may be involved
5. Realize that no one can assume that they know how to ensure 'justice' for reporting parties under Title IX.
Then, just to be sure she had gotten all her points across, Akin handed Biden a print version of her six-page response, 2014-2-14 Title IX concerns for federal task force. "I knew this was a unique opportunity in my life," she said.
Akin was selected by Christi Hurt, task force chair, when Monika Johnson-Hostler — executive director of the NC Coalition Against Sexual Assault and president of the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence — asked Hurt for a student representative.
"I asked Katie to go because she has been an outstanding member of the Task Force who is deeply dedicated to bringing students voices forward into our process," Hurt said. "She is ever-mindful of the constellation of dynamics that surround sexual assault victimization. She is keenly aware of how many challenges we all face in creating a community dedicated to sexual violence prevention and in building systems and services that serve all survivors."
Akin and Tenika Neely of North Carolina Central University, who flew to Washington together for the event, were two of the 13 students from schools in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, California, Boston and Washington, D.C., invited to speak.
Because she was seated on Biden's left, Akin spoke first, after a little basketball chatter with the veep. "I think he was trying to be conversational to start off," she said. "He said he liked UNC as long as they don't beat Syracuse." Each student or activist at the table got a turn to share his or her thoughts, and what was supposed to be an hour-long meeting stretched to two hours. Biden had to leave after the first 60 minutes to stay on schedule, but other White House staff members remained.
"It's good that Vice President Biden cares about these issues," Akin said, "but there's a very large generational gap between him and students or even the people who are on our Title IX Task Force." She said Biden was "friendly, but also paternalistic." It was strange, she observed, to talk about how we might change "normalized histories and cultures gender-based and sexual violence" while sitting next to "the embodiment of patriarchy" around a massive wooden table in the "grandiose Colonial style" of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Ashley Ward, the professor that Akin works for as a teaching assistant, and Banu Gokariksel and Elizabeth Olson, her academic advisers in the geography department, have been supportive of the work she has put into helping to craft a new sexual misconduct policy for students. The attention the White House is paying to the issue is also "an affirmation of the ongoing work," Akin said.

Guidance Platform, V-2, SG-66
This is an unflown inertial guidance platform for the German V-2, the world's first ballistic missile, developed during World War II. V-2 rockets, with a range of hundreds of miles, were sent into ballistic trajectories by means of a liquid fueled rocket motor. The German military launched many of them against Britain and the Low Countries in the last phase of the war.
During the development of the V-2, a number of systems were explored to guide the rocket during the powered portion of its flight. This device is part of an inertial system, which used gyroscopes to sense the acceleration of the rocket and send a signal to cut off its thrust at a predetermined point. It was transferred to the Smithsonian Institution from NASA in 1986.

Center of Excellence
The Exploratory Center of Excellence in Minority Health and Health Disparities' "Center for Health Research with Aberdeen Area Tribes" is a partnership between the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine (SSOM), Sanford Research/USD, Great Plains Tribal Chairmen's Health Board (GPTCHB) and Sinte Gleska University (SGU) that is addressing health disparities among Native American people in the Aberdeen Area and facilitating health disparity research through training and education. This partnership received funding from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) for a collaborative grant submitted to establish a joint National Institute for Minority Health Disparities Exploratory Center of Excellence (COE).
Through these partnerships, the grant has the following specific aims:
- Advance the science directed towards impacting health disparities through the conduct of a significant study on a treatment for urinary incontinence in American Indian Woman and the prevention of teen pregnancy among Northern Plains American Indian teens.
- Unite resources available within the partnering institutions to conduct five interrelated activities supportive of Native American students wishing to pursue careers in health professions and/or research. These include: a) support and coordination of an undergraduate Native American retention program, b) establishment of summer undergraduate research experiences (SURE) for Native Americans, c) development of a health disparities educational seminar series, d) distribution of cultural awareness materials developed for the research community, and e) support of Native American cultural committee activities.
- Increase the dissemination and utilization of scientific and health information relevant to health diversity populations. Feedback loops have been designed into each component of the submission to assure the results of research conducted are shared and applied within the reservation environment and that there is a broader public awareness of both health disparities and the work of the Center. The Community Outreach Core will also provide technical assistance, training and support to Tribal health and physical activities programs to conduct Community Child Health Needs Assessments and to develop Tribally-tailored programs to prevent and reduce childhood obesity.
There are four cores that make up the COE: Administration, Research Education and Training, Research, and Community Partnership and Outreach. These cores work together to address health disparities among tribes from the Aberdeen area. Through the development of useful research projects, programs that promote and retain Native American undergraduates at USD pursuing health professional degrees, undergraduate summer research programs, holding annual healthcare careers days for middle and high school students on the Rosebud reservation, and developing truly collaborative relationships with tribes, the grantees strive to decrease the high rates of health disparities impacting Aberdeen Area tribes.

2006 finds the Thievery Corporation live band on a more relaxed tour schedule than the year before. Devastated by the loss of beloved soundman and tour-brother, Matt "Smoke Dog" Morrison (1979-2006), the crew is gonna pick up the pieces all the way from Seattle to São Paulo. Fewer shows, bigger audiences - more rock, less talk. Here they are, city by city – thrillin' and chillin' – with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, Gnarls Barkley, The Flaming Lips and a whole mess more. Over 700 photos shot and laid out (in chronological order) by Sitarist/Guitarist, Rob Myers.
I play guitar/sitar in a handful of Washington, DC bands: Fort Knox Five, Thievery Corporation, Thunderball, See-I & International Velvet. When not on tour or in the studio I make ends meet by taking pictures, making graphics and shooting video.

- Solutions & Innovations
- Join our Journey
- Sustainability
AquaVision is a world-class aquaculture conference that attracts a diverse range of stakeholders to Stavanger every two years and will do so again from 13 - 15 June 2016. The conference, organised by Skretting and its parent company Nutreco since 1996, has established itself as an important meeting place for some 400 participants from more than 40 countries.
The theme for AquaVision 2016 is "Meeting tomorrow today" and the two day programme will discuss on the main topics: "The blue revolution" and "Beyond tomorrow".
Lord Sebastian Coe, President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) will be one of the keynote speakers at this year's AquaVision conference. Another keynote speaker is Jim Lawless. Over half a million people on five continents have been entertained and inspired by Lawless' presentations and many more by his bestselling book 'Taming Tigers'.
As at the previous AquaVison conferences, many of the main topics and liveliest debates will focus on the challenges and opportunities facing aquaculture today and in the future. This year's speaker line up includes a range of experts, industryleaders, academics and other high-profile representatives from our industry. Among them Professor Louise O. Fresco, Wageningen University, will discuss the aquaculture industry's role in the world's food supply, while Professor Ragnar Tveteraas, University of Stavanger, will look at cost development within the industry, as well as global lessons and future prospects. Andrew Mallison, IFFO, will provide insight into the development of the fish oil and fish protein market in the years to come.
Where and when:
Aquavision 2016 will be held in Stavanger, from 13 - 15 June 2016.

My kid and I were driving down San Pablo a couple months ago and saw to our great distress that the Party Warehouse in El Cerrito (near the Natural Foods Store) was empty!!! What will we do for party balloons, not to mention all the other fine junk we used to buy in there? Can someone recommend a balloon place anywhere from Hercules to Berkeley? And don't tell me to buy one of those machines, because we use up to 30 balloons for our parties and ain't no way I'm going to blow up 30 balloons. Thanks Loves Balloons
For balloons, you must go to Paper Plus Outlet on San Pablo in Berkeley, near Virgina. The balloon guy is a character, and really quite good. (Order your balloons ahead of time. Tell him about your party theme and listen to his suggestions. Often they are excellent.) The store is also a good source for inexpensive paper plates, cups, etc., other types of party decorations and favors, pinatas, stationery, and so on. The place feels like a bit of a dump, but the prices are low and they have some really nice things.
My second choice would be Party City in Richmond, in the strip center on Klose Way between the freeway and Hilltop Mall. (Richmond Parkway exit) Party City is a big chain store with mostly licensed character stuff, not at all as 'homey' feeling as the El Cerrito place, but it's a large, well-organized store with decent prices, a good selection of all the basics including some cake decorating items, supplies for weddings, carnivals and fairs, and other events beyond the basic birthday party, and Halloween costumes and accessories year-round. I can't remember if we've ever bought balloons there but they do have a pretty big balloon department, and certainly parking is very easy there compared to San Pablo Ave! Partying Mama
Hi, I live in Kensington, CA. We are planning to organize our birthday party for my three-year old son. We will probably plan to have it at our house - outdoor. We are interesting in renting for a tent, toddler chairs, and a big table for about 10 kids. Any suggestions where we can find the vendors in the Eastbay? Thank you! Matty
Is there a place that exists in the East Bay where one can rent attractive garden chairs and small tables? I would definitely NOT like to rent the standard folding metal chairs and tables. Thanks. anon
I am looking for paper tablecloths, plates, napkins, and plates for my son's 2nd birthday. I want to have an outer space theme but everywhere I look I can only find Star Wars, Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, and various other media inspired materials. Any ideas? We are a visual media-free household and I would even prefer monochromatic items to those that are really advertisements. Any ideas? Many thanks. Heidi
When I was shopping for my wedding/bridal shower supplies (such as party favors, matching napkins/plates/cups, invitations, etc), there were 2 stores that I used. I am not sure if they have things for 3 year olds, but either way they are both good stores for party supplies.
One is called Craft Depot. It's got things for Art, Crafts, Floral, Hobby, and Wedding Supplies. It's at the Floresta Center, 14801 Washington Ave., San Leandro, 510-483-5454. This store may not have what you are looking for for 3 year olds, but it's worth a call just in case. (By the way, if anyone is planning a wedding, this is the place to get items to make wedding favors. They've got tons of stuff!)
The other place is called Party Warehouse. They have locations in Oakland (near Jack London Square), Alameda, and I think San Leandro. I think the El Cerrito store closed. Again, I don't know if they have items specifically for 3-year olds, but I think they have knick-knacks for kids. This place is in the Pacific Bell Yellow Pages, so you could see their advertisement.
Teddies Party on Solano Ave in Albany might also be a place to check out.
Please help! I am in desparate need of recommendations for where I can rent a tent (simple canopy style, 10x10) and several chafing dishes for an outdoor party next week. I am looking to rent in the East Bay Area, preferably Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill area, if that's possible, but any recommendations for the Bay Area would be welcome. If you have any ideas, please email me as I am running out of time!!!! Thanks very much! maritelb
We are planning a seated luncheon in June. Does anyone know of a place besides Hertz on Eastshore where we could rent a large dining canopy? June is wedding season, so I'd like to reserve one right away. Thanks! Rue

- 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3/4 cups cake flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 4 egg whites
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups flaked coconut
- In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter.
- Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 13-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, in a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, egg whites and water. With a portable mixer, beat mixture on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until frosting reaches 160°, about 10 minutes.
- Pour into a large bowl; add vanilla. Beat on high until frosting forms stiff peaks, about 7 minutes. Spread between layers and over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with coconut. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.

"The cake itself was lovely. I had slight difficulty getting the frosting to "thicken", so I added half a container of store-bought coconut frosting. I reveived many compliments with this recipe, it's a keeper."

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden is one of those players on the bubble this year. Entering the final year of his contract, Bolden is out to prove that he is a valuable commodity on the offensive side of the ball and he is also out to prove to the Patriots that he is worth keeping around. According to a report by CLNS Radio Wednesday, Bolden is eager to get out on the football field and prove his worth.
Bolden has shown flashes of explosiveness out of the backfield and at times has been the second or third option on the depth chart due to the injury of Shane Vereen and the fumbling issues of Stevan Ridley. Bolden, however, has not been able to establish a consistency on the field to lock up a roster spot going into training camp.
Not only does Bolden have to compete with Ridley and Vereen, he also has to compete with Patriots 4th round draft pick James White and undrafted free agents Stephen Houston and Roy Finch. Bolden finds the additions to be a good thing and more of a challenge to himself to prove he can be what the Patriots are looking for in their running game.
He told the media following last month's final minicamp session, "They brought us here to push each other and push ourselves. So it's a competition but it's a fun competition. I don't see any weaknesses, but as a group I can tell you we're all fierce competitors. We all want to come out on top, and that's what drives us as a group to do what we have to do to help this team."
If Bolden comes anywhere close to his 137-yard performance against the Buffalo Bills in a 2012 showdown, he should be a lock to at least make the team. Becoming the team's feature back will depend on his ability to be more focused when he is given the opportunity to be that "go to guy." With LaGarrette Blount no longer on the team, Bolden could have an opportunity to be the team's power type back. In 2013, Bolden rushed for 271 yards on 55 carries. He averaged 4.9 yards a game and could be the combination of power and speed the Patriots need to establish a steady running game.
