OAKLAND -- You name it and Roberto Costa has probably turned it into a mosaic: his kitchen sink, his garage floor, a community garden display. He even helped mosaic every wall of a public restroom.
But the one initiative that has taken on a life of its own is the transformation of Oakland's public trash bins into colorful works of art.
What began two years ago as a beautification project in Costa's neighborhood, the Allendale Park section of East Oakland, has spread from High Street and 35th Avenue to Seminary Avenue, Foothill Boulevard, Grand Avenue and Telegraph Avenue.
By the city's count, 63 public trash bins have become mosaic pallets with the help of volunteer artists like Costa and Daud Abdullah and more than $1,100 in grants from the nonprofit Keep Oakland Beautiful.
More mosaic trash cans are in the works for Oakland's Laurel district and the city of Richmond.
"I love those trash cans," said Councilwoman Libby Schaaf, who has handed out "Local Hero" awards to several of the volunteer artists. Her favorite trash can design, a peace sign made out of daisies, adorns her district newsletter. "To me they're like flowers growing around High Street," she said.
Costa, an amateur artist and full-time analyst for the city of Oakland's Rent Adjustment Program, decided to bring decorative trash bins to Oakland after seeing them in Arcata.
His neighborhood's beautification committee, which includes several mosaic artists, had built mosaic planters, but several were tagged or accidentally struck by cars.
Garbage cans are a lot sturdier, Costa said.
Originally the artists planned to do just one design, but more volunteers came on board with their own vision for the garbage bins of Allendale Park.
"It was a great community organizing tool," said Beverly Shalom, a social worker who helped design several bins. "We deal with crime and blight, and some of us felt that instead of only focusing on the negative, we would focus on something positive that would make people care more about their neighborhood."
From Allendale Park, the mosaic trash cans quickly spread to nearby Maxwell Park, where many of the same volunteers participated in a four-year community project to transform the local park's public restroom into a mosaic.
"When I saw what they were doing, I knew I had to figure out a way to do them too," said Daud Abdullah, an electrician and artist who helped out on the bathroom mosaic.
"I had done a lot of community cleanup projects," Abdullah said. "I liked the idea of making a trash can look so pretty that nobody could miss it."
Through Oakland's Adopt a Spot volunteer program, Abdullah has single-handedly decorated more mosaic trash bins than anyone in city -- mostly in deeper East Oakland, where he said public art was most needed.
"A lot of my cans have peace and love on them because that's what I'm trying to convey," he said.
Abdullah also takes requests.
When Latin musician Apolinar Andrade saw Abdullah getting ready to work on a trash bin near his home at High Street and Santa Rita Avenue, he asked for a music theme. Abdullah and fellow volunteer artist Karen Difrummolo came up with a guitar, maracas and a design that read "Oakland 'hearts' Musica."
"It makes me feel so good to see it every day," Andrade said.
While Abdullah branched out on his own, Costa has been working with neighborhood groups interested in decorating their bins. This year he taught residents in the Adams Point neighborhood to do the mosaics that have been popping up along Grand Avenue next to Lake Merritt.
"He was very inspiring and encouraging throughout the project," said Vivian Romero, who contacted Costa after seeing the decorated trash cans on High Street.
Costa said the goal of all his mosaic projects is to strengthen neighborhoods. "It's a community building effort," he said. "You get to know neighbors that you otherwise wouldn't know."
Volunteers say the decorated trash bins have mushroomed around town in part because Oakland is home to a lot of mosaic artists and the Institute of Mosaic Art in the Jingletown neighborhood. Several volunteers have taken classes at the institute or gotten supplies from it.
Abduallah says he often gets donated tiles. He applies the cement mortar, tile and grout onto a fiberglass mesh that he then affixes to the cement trash bin. Costa does his work directly on the bin, which he first grades to create an even surface. Each trash can takes about 20 hours to completely decorate.
And when it's over, the volunteers still have to keep an eye out for vandals.
Abdullah says it's easy to wash off spray paint from the mosaics on the base of the trash cans.
The city provides him paint to cover over graffiti on the top of the bins, although he'll often use his own. "The city gives me gray or brown paint," he said. "But I don't want them to blend in. I want them to stand out."

According to a new report from actuaries Gabriela Dieguez, Bruce Pyenson and Jennifer Carioto, at Milliman, major pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs) often overestimate future spending on specialty medicines, sometimes by nearly 10 percentage points.
When a Medicare Part D beneficiary adheres to their prescription regimen, both the individual and the broader health care system benefit. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO), for example, now estimates increasing the number of Part D prescriptions filled by just 1 percent reduces program spending on medical services by approximately 0.20 percent. The cost savings are even greater for seniors with certain chronic conditions. Today, we're looking at congestive heart failure.
In recent years, the development of new medicines has helped transform the lives of patients. But lives cannot be improved without access to those innovative treatments. We support helping patients get access to what they need to live happier, healthier lives, and it was our focus this week.
New Analysis: Midyear Formulary Changes in Marketplace Plans Can Significantly Reduce Access to Needed Medications for Patients
Did you know health insurance exchange plans are allowed to drop coverage of medications from their formularies midyear? Early evidence indicates that some health insurance exchange or marketplace plans are taking advantage of this flexibility and significantly reducing access to needed medications.

As we enter the second half of the decade, the biopharmaceutical industry's approach to research and development (R&D) continues to evolve to meet the growing demand for new medicines.
Today is World Cancer Day, and 2015's "Not beyond us" theme highlights an incredibly important message: we're making tremendous advances in the fight against cancer and continued progress means a future with a cure could be right around the corner. America's biopharmaceutical research companies are dedicated to achieving this outcome and improving the quality of patients' lives through pioneering medicines and enabling access to those treatments.
Research and development (R&D) is the backbone of the biopharmaceutical industry and the reason why we have seen more than 450 new medicines approved in the U.S.
Medicare Part D is an incredibly important and successful program that provides seniors and persons with disabilities with access to affordable prescription drug coverage. While recent surveys indicating about 90 percent of beneficiaries are satisfied with their Part D coverage, you may not know about all the ways Medicare provides value to beneficiaries.
For the biopharmaceutical industry, patient well-being is at the center of everything we do. In keeping patients at the forefront, we are doing all that we can to help people live longer, healthier lives. This week, we highlighted just a few ways we are working to translate that commitment into tangible outcomes.
Many people likely don't realize that the human papillomavirus, or HPV, is one of the most prevalent sexually transmitted diseases in the United States. This means 79 million Americans, both men and women, currently carry the virus, which in some cases can lead to cervical cancer.
While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) expanded access to health insurance coverage for millions, a new study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health reveals that insurers may be discriminating against patients through the drug benefit design of Essential Health Benefit plans.
Since the publication of this post, the Alzheimer's Association released a new report, "Changing the Trajectory of Alzheimer's Disease: How a Treatment by 2025 Saves Lives and Dollars," that examines the potential lives saved and economic impact if a treatment is discovered that delays the onset of Alzheimer's disease by 2025. Key findings of the report include:
As someone who grew up around the biopharmaceutical industry and knows firsthand the impact that it has on local communities, I'm frequently reminded of our members' far-reaching impact in my role as liaison between PhRMA and the Pharmaceutical Industry Labor-Management Association.

What is the right size rug for your room? Whether you're choosing a Mohawk Rug for your living room, dining room, office, bedroom or hallway determining the right size is just as important as the color, style and pattern.
But selecting the right sized rug doesn't have to be a difficult task if you measure first and consider a few important points. To determine the right size rug you will first need to measure the room or space in which the rug will be located. Ask yourself whether you'd like a small rug or a large rug. Do you want added rug space in front of a certain piece of furniture for seating or comfort? Next consider clearances for opening doors, additional pieces of furniture and the flow of traffic.
Here are some other helpful tips to assist you in choosing the right sized rug. Equal amounts of exposed flooring around an area rug will give balance to the room. Area rugs should extend beyond dining room chairs in the pulled out position. Allow 36 inches for armchairs and 30 inches for side chairs. Smaller accent rugs of equal size may be a better option for some bedrooms. Place runners so they don't end in the middle of the doorway or where you frequently stand. Doormats are generally sized for the average 36 inch wide external door but measure first. You may need a smaller or larger mat. Accent rugs with a low profile are great for working spots around the kitchen.
No matter which room you choose measuring first will help to make selecting the right sized rug a worry free venture for adding beauty to your home.
Remember for added comfort underfoot, extended rug life and floor protection we also suggest using a Mohawk Home Rug Pad.

The Holiday Breakup Survival Guide
It's super important to really be sure you're totally down to get down before you actually do the deed, says Beth W. When she's moved too fast with guys in the past, first time sex was more about making a good impression than actually enjoying the experience. "With my current boyfriend I made a point to wait till I was 100 percent ready to take that step and I was able to invest in both my enjoyment and his," she says.
Okay, so once you've decided you're ready, it's time to realize that you're probably not going to have a perfectly synchronized, life-affirming orgasm that first time. "Bottom line: Amazing sex usually comes from really knowing your partner's body and this is nearly impossible in the first time," says sex expert Emily Morse. She advises not stressing to much about how the first time plays outthere will be plenty of time to practice getting in sexual sync.

It may seem cliche to say ReStore Marietta's Merchants and Artist Walks have something for everyone, but it was true for the Wheeler family on Friday.
"We usually come at least twice a year," said Denise Wheeler, 40, of Devola. "I love seeing all the displays of the artwork."
"I just like the walking," said her 9-year-old daughter Meghan.

For more photos, go to the CU link on this website.
Wheeler's 11-year-old son Derek is interested in the Civil War, which led the family to stop in front of the Gallery on Front Street, where Marietta resident Dianne Vezza was selling copies of her latest book, "Letters Home: George Butler Turner and the 92nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry."
"I like talking to people about and interesting them in the Civil War," said Vezza of why she sets up at the walks, held by ReStore on the second Friday of May through August and again in November.
Other artists displaying their wares Friday included painters, photographers, musicians and chainsaw sculptor David Ferguson of Parkersburg.

"It's a great way to spend a few hours on a Friday night - even if you're working," said Ferguson as he took a break from carving a bear.
Ferguson is a veteran of many walks but some of the artists were there, paired with downtown merchants, for the first time.
"There's a ton of foot traffic down here," said Jonathan Rollison, 27, of Marietta.
He and his wife, Emily, set up their venture, Revived Glass Roadshow, in front of the Heart to Art Galleria's new location at 165 Front St, where Emily is the manager. The Rollisons displayed bird feeders and table torches made from wine and other bottles and wind chimes made from wine glasses.
"It's fun just to get out, especially on a nice night like this one," Emily Rollison said.
Meanwhile, Mike and Mollie Haught of Barlow were making their first trip to the walk as exhibitors instead of spectators. Mike, 71, is a fourth-generation woodworker who had toys, small chairs and a pie safe, made of solid oak with nickel-plated panels, set up in front of H. Rietz and Co. Antiques at 282 Front St.
"I like stuff on the streets. I like meeting people, I can talk to people," Mike Haught said.
He plans to come back for the July and August walks as well.
"I'd like to do this all summer if I can," Haught said.
The event not only provides a venue for artists to display their work, but also is intended to draw people to downtown businesses. And it works, said Sarah Dye, owner of Top Drawer
"I've been here 16 years. I still have people say, 'This is the first time I've been here,'" she said.
Kathleen Belville, of Aurora, has shopped in Marietta before while visiting her husband, Mike, who is staying in the area during the week for work. But coming to the walk Friday revealed a whole new aspect of the Pioneer City to her.
"I love it," she said. "It's amazing how many people come out. ... Everybody knows everyone. They're shaking hands and kissing and hugging."

End Date: Apr 30, 2014
LAB: ANTIOXIDANTS Using advanced chromatographic methods, we will measure the flavonoid content and evaluate the total antioxidant capacity of selected plant foods and the influence of geographical regions, agricultural practices, and processing and storage. A rat model as well as microsomes from various rat tissues will be utilized to determine the effect of age on quercetin bioavailability and metabolism due to changes in phase II enzyme activity. We will explore the possible fetal origins of chronic disease by feeding obesigenic diets to rat dams during pregnancy and lactation and examine the change in obese phenotypes in their pups and test whether dietary flavonoids, particularly isoflavones, will decrease this phenotype. Using healthy older adults, we will determine the bioavailability and distribution of cranberry anthocyanins to blood, urine, and feces. Employing volunteers with coronary heart disease, we will test the effect of almond consumption on biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular reactivity. LAB: CAROTENOIDS By recruiting older adults (>60 yr, men and post-menopausal women) without and with metabolic syndrome to ingest bioactive plant foods or histidine dipeptide rich foods, we will measure plasma total antioxidant performance, plasma in vivo oxidative stress biomarkers, plasma water-soluble and fat-soluble antioxidants (carotenoids, tocopherol, ascorbic acid, and uric acid), plasma biomedical parameters to determine the ability of bioactive plant-based foods, including carotenoid-rich foods, to exert biological functions and affect genomic stability. Also, to explore a possible correlation between a change in serum apoE and a change in Macular Pigment (MP) density, we will measure HDL subpopulations by non-denaturing 2d gel electrophoresis, immuno-blotting, and image analysis. We will measure lipoproteins, antioxidative capacity, and markers of inflammation in order to better define the mechanism by which decreased body weight is associated with increased MP in humans. Using the stable isotope labeled vitamin A (labeled in three different levels, ^13 C_4 , ^13 C_8 , ^13 C_12 – retinyl acetate) and aphereses-autologues technique on human volunteers, we will measure the enrichment of these labeled retinols in human circulations and mathematical modeling to determine vitamin A bioavailability and the requirement of vitamin A through an intervention trial with various levels of vitamin A.

To: Carmen Wilson, Chair Faculty Senate
From: Tim McAndrews, Chair
International Education Committee
RE: Evaluation of the "Guidelines for International Study Tour Programs"
This report is being submitted to Faculty Senate as per the first special charge outlined in the Committee Charge for the 2006-2007 Academic Year. The special charge is as follows:
Evaluate the current set of "Guidelines for International Study Tour Programs" and, if necessary, modify to reflect current thinking. Please plan to submit a report on this charge to faculty senate no later than November 3, 2006.
During the 2005-06 Academic Year, the International Education Committee (IEC) made a number of revisions and improvements to the faculty guidelines for developing international programs. As reported by last year's committee chair, Tom Hench, in his 2005-06 year-end report:
The Committee, after extensive discussions and deliberations throughout the Fall of 2005 and early 2006, issued guidelines for helping Faculty and Academic Staff prepare study-abroad proposals.
The guidelines referred to by Tom Hench are designed to accompany the complete "Guidelines for International Study Tour Programs" and they provide a step-by-step checklist along with a schedule of completion for each step. This supplemental checklist, entitled "Step-by-Step Guidelines for Preparing New Study-Abroad Programs," is attached to this document, and it has been posted to the IEC website.
At the end of the step-by-step guidelines are web links to important online resources for faculty planning international programs including: guidelines for developing programs and the budget worksheet; UW-System Code of Conduct for faculty, staff and students studying abroad; UW-System Policy Paper 45; faculty development grand guidelines; and other helpful resources.
"Guidelines for International Study Tour Programs" was also revised to reflect the revisions to the process of program development that resulted from last year's committee deliberations, though the committee may revisit this document to reevaluate the definition of "New" programs and "Ongoing" programs. A copy of the revised "Guidelines for International Study Tour Programs" is attached to the end of this document and it has also been posted on the IEC website.
Also from our deliberations last year, the IEC concluded that the following goals (with respect to developing international programs) are appropriate to maintain our productive momentum from last year. As indicated, progress has already been made on achieving some these goals.
a) Planning and convening Study Abroad/Study Tour Briefings biannually for faculty interested in establishing international programs.
The fall briefing was conducted in early October of 2006 by Sandy Seiber of the Office of International Education (OIE). Sandy will inform the committee of the spring briefing date once it is set. We will then post this date of the IEC website.
b) Meeting with the Business Office to develop more streamlined procedures for expense reimbursement and to come up with solutions to common financial problems that faculty have (e.g., how to document an expenditure when receipts are not part of the transaction, etc.).
Sandy Sieber's consultation with the IEC is already proving to be beneficial in achieving this goal. We will continue to discuss some of the complex issues associated with budgeting international programs, as necessary.
c) Develop an appropriate method of student feedback and assessment.
The IEC will discuss this issue later this year, as time permits.
d) Arrange to have sample study abroad proposals available in OIE.
Sandy Sieber assured the committee that these files are in the OIE, and that she will compile them into a file that is easily accessible by faculty interested in developing their own international programs.
e) Establish a master list of all existing study-abroad programs indicating when the tour was last conducted and when a program will be ready for review.
Again, Sandy Seiber (who is obviously proving to be an invaluable consultant to the committee) indicated that once she compiles the file of existing program proposals, she will be able to develop a master list of current programs.

International Education Committee
I. Introduction
A primary purpose of the International Education Committee is to encourage and support the continuing growth and development of high-quality, international study programs at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. One of the responsibilities of the Committee is to review for possible approval each UW-L credit generating program offered at least in part at a site abroad. To that end, the Committee develops guidelines for these programs. The guidelines are intended for proposers and directors of programs, as well as for the Committee who reviews the programs. The guidelines on these pages are for International Study Tour programs.
These guidelines are presented in three sections with an appendix. This first section, the introduction, includes the "spirit" of these guidelines and some definitions. Section II includes issues on which the Committee will focus in its deliberations of international study tour programs. Section III presents the application procedures for each type of international study tour program, including the application deadlines. Finally, the appendix includes the cover sheet and budget worksheet to be included with the proposal.
These guidelines and required forms are available from the Faculty Senate website: www.uwlax.edu/FacultySenate/committees/IECindex.html.
The Office of International Education has prepared a "Study Tour Manual" to assist faculty in the development and on-going administration of short-term study abroad programs. Faculty-led program proposals originate from the faculty and are administered by the OIE. Many of the policies and procedures described within are the result of mandates from UW System for safety and liability reasons. Faculty are encouraged to meet with staff in the OIE for program planning purposes.
The "Spirit" of the Guidelines:
The intent of these guidelines/procedures, and of the International Education Committee, is "to be a help, not a hindrance" to the advancement of high-quality, international study programs at UW-L. Accordingly, exceptions to these guidelines may, at times, need to be considered. In those cases, the Committee will examine carefully the circumstances surrounding the need for an exception and will take those steps necessary to assure the continuing advancement of high-quality, international study tour programs at UW-La Crosse.
International Study Tour Program
An international study tour program is a credit-generating course that is created and led by faculty/staff and that takes place primarily in another country. These opportunities are (generally) short term in nature and may or may not involve another institutional (university) partner participating in the delivery of the program. International study tours are classified further as "new," and "ongoing." These terms are defined below:
New International Study Tour Program
A new international study tour program is a program that has not been previously proposed, or a program that has been proposed and approved but not offered in the past five years.
Ongoing International Study Tour Program
An ongoing international study tour program is a program that has been approved and has been successfully implemented at least twice in the past four years. If there are significant changes in this proposal from the original program, contact the chair of the International Education Committee to determine if it still qualifies as an ongoing program.
II. Issues That the Committee Will Consider
Listed below are the main areas of focus for the Travel and International Education Committee in its deliberations of international study tour programs. These issues should be addressed in the appropriate places within the program proposal.
· All appropriate measures have been taken to assure the health, safety, and well-being of all participants in the proposed international study tour program.
· Arrangements have been made to provide adequate counseling and supervisory services at international destinations. (For example: contact persons, interpreters, emergency services, handicap accessibility, etc.)
· Justification is provided for those cases, if any, where students need to be absent from other classes.
· Good-faith efforts have been made to minimize the cost of international study tour programs to student participants.
· Arrangements have been made with the Office of International Education for pre-departure training for both program proposer(s)/ (director(s) and participants in the language(s), culture(s) and country(ies) to be visited.
· Credit-granting, international study tour programs are reasonably and responsibly linked to a relevant course title and/or catalog description.
· Credit-granting, international study tour programs are designed to provide educational experiences integrally related to the curriculum but not otherwise available on-campus.
· The course (including outline, instructional methods and evaluation procedures) are consistent with the course as approved by the University Curriculum Committee (LX-139) for the course.
· Proposals for credit-granting international study tour programs occurring during the regular academic year (i.e., Fall or Spring semesters) are offered as part of the proposer's (or program director's) regular teaching responsibility and are not compensated additionally without further and appropriate justification.
· Proposals for credit-granting international study tour programs occurring outside the regular academic year (i.e., Summer, J-term [January], or M-term [May]) are not considered part of the proposer's (or program director's) regular teaching responsibility and should be compensated appropriately, whenever possible.
III. Application Procedures
International study tour programs developed through the initiative of individual faculty and academic staff of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, but formally sponsored by the University, must comply with institutional and UW System budget and fiscal policy guidelines in such areas as personnel, salary and fringe benefit policies, and procedures. The process is as follows:
· Documentation and forms need to be prepared as outlined below. The International Education Committee will not review any incomplete or late application files. Additional copies of these guidelines and the appropriate forms are available from the Faculty Senate website: www.uwlax.edu/FacultySenate/committees/IECindex.html.
· Fifteen copies of the completed application package need to be submitted to the OIE, 116 Graff Main Hall to be forwarded to the chair of the International Education Committee or to the by the due dates listed below:

e. Pre-Departure Language and Culture Preparation
This section should explain the steps to prepare participants to be both effective ambassadors of UW-L while in a international country/territory and to be minimally functional and conversant in the language and culture of the primary country(ies)/territory(ies) being visited. These steps should be taken in advance of the planned study-abroad trip and typically might include three or four training sessions of approximately 45-minutes each.
§ Language
For course in non-English speaking countries, sufficient language training should be provided to enable program leaders and participants to communicate orally with a minimum number of key words and phrases. These words and phrases might include such things as:
° Phrases of basic courtesy, including greetings and introductions.
° Phrases asking for directions and information.
° Phrases covering issues of time, numbers, money and the like.
° Relevant place names.
° Days of the week.
° Names of common activities.
° Common foods and phrases for ordering common foods.
° Phrases for emergency situations.
§ Culture
Information on the culture of a country or region to be visited should be presented and distributed well before the time of departure. The cultural material to be covered could well include:
° History

f. Language and Culture Backgrounds of Tour Leaders
This section of the proposal is intended to inform the Committee of the proposer(s)/director(s) experience in international travel and/or international study-abroad programs. The purpose of this section is to identify to the Office of International Education what, if any, additional help and support may be needed by proposer(s)/director(s) to assure a successful study-abroad program. Included should be the background and experiences of the leader(s)/director(s), as appropriate, in the areas listed below:
§ Prior experience in international travel/international study-abroad programs (include dates and particulars, as appropriate).
§ First-hand knowledge of areas to be visited (include dates and particulars, as appropriate).
§ Special training/experience in international studies, including studies and experiences in comparative cultures, history, science, philosophy, etc.
§ Relevant fellowships, scholarships, grants or awards.
§ International language knowledge and experience (including level of proficiency, as appropriate).
§ Related skills and interests, as appropriate (i.e., photography, art, geography, musical instruments, etc.).
3. Budget Worksheet
This form, a copy of which is included in the appendix, should detail as closely as possible:
a. The comprehensive program fee to the participant/student.
b. Reasonable/prudent expectations of additional costs to students for necessary items, such as food, local travel, etc.
c. Explanation of competitive bidding arrangements.
d. Full disclosure of all arrangements to pay the cost of travel for the director(s). Proposals without this information will not be considered. Where more than one leader/director is needed to support a program, please attach an explanation to the budget form explaining why the additional leader/director is needed and what the additional costs associated with the additional leader/director are.
4. Letters of Support
Letters of support from the department/division and from the Dean/Director are to be included. The letter from the department should indicate that
a. The proposal complies with the departmental procedures and has departmental approval.
b. Your department considers all necessary arrangements for release time, for coverage of the instructor's other teaching responsibilities, and for any other departmental concerns affected by this proposal.
B. Documentation for Ongoing International Study Tour Programs
After an international study tour program is approved and offered at least three times in the past five years, the program can be evaluated by the International Education Committee for conversion to the status of an ongoing international study tour program. The leader/director of this program must provide a complete program review package after the third time the program has been offered, and after every third year thereafter. This review will be based on an assessment of the program outcomes and not necessarily on the specifics of the original program proposal.
1. Proposal Cover Page
The cover page should conform to the style as presented in the appendix. The cover page includes a checklist which is intended as a check that all sections are included in the proposal.
2. Statement of Program History
a. A brief overview of program goals and purposes.
b. A brief statement of program history, including, by year, numbers of participants, courses offered, dates conducted, faculty and academic staff involved, total number of credit hours earned, locations visited, and any other relevant issues.
3. Program Assessment and Feedback
a. An assessment of the program to date. This section can draw heavily from the post-trip assessment reports filed previously regarding:
§ Changes in the actual implementations of the programs from what were proposed (for example, changes in personnel, changes in itinerary, changes in sites visited and changes in activities), and the impact of these changes.
§ Any logistical problems encountered during the implementations.
§ Whether the curricular goals were achieved and how the determination was made.
§ How recommendations from previous programs were incorporated into subsequent programs.
b. Assessment data/feedback from participating faculty and students. This feedback should address program outcomes—not necessarily the specific objectives of the original program proposal.
c. Financial summaries, including income, expenses, and current balances, for similar tours conducted during each of the past five three tours.
4. Recommendations for continuation, changes, and/or future plans.
5. Language and culture backgrounds of tour leaders using the same format as for New International Study Tours.
6. Budget Worksheet
7. Letters of Support from the department/division and from the Dean/Director are to be included.
C. Coordination with the Office of International Education
The director of the trip abroad should meet with the Office of International Education staff to ensure compliance with "ACIS 7.1 Policy Guidelines for the Development and Operation of Off-Campus International Educational Programs for University of Wisconsin System Students" and "Financial and Administrative Policies 45: Study Abroad Programs."
D. Post Trip Assessment
A post-trip assessment report is required and is to be submitted to the Office of International Education within 60 days of the completion of the program. The director of the trip abroad should also report in person to the International Education Committee. This section of the proposal should include the date by which the report will be submitted, as well as an overview/outline of the planned report. The format of this section is open, but it should demonstrate that the report will provide appropriate commentary while addressing the following issues:
a. A brief description of the program (for example, to which UW-L course(s) the program is applicable, the program goals, the sites of the program and the dates of the program).
b. A complete list of participants and addresses (postal and e-mail) should be included.
c. Changes in the actual implementation of the program from what was proposed (for example, changes in personnel, changes in itinerary, changes in sites visited and changes in activities), and the impact of these changes.
d. Any logistical problems encountered during the implementation.
e. The degree to which actual revenues and expenses matched the budgeted values.
f. The degree to which the curricular goals and objectives were achieved.
g. Recommendations for a subsequent program.

- Original Hotcoat Powdercoating Gun
Original Hotcoat Powdercoating Gun
Item #10198 Brand: Eastwood
The Original HotCoat Powder-Coating Gun brings the benefits of powder coating right to your home garage or shop.
- Coat and cure in under an hour!
- Easy to apply
- Extremely durable finish
- Quick color changes
- 11,000-volt output
- Economical
This innovative, inexpensive powder-coat gun helps you do a professional-looking powder coating job right at home. All you need to add are a compressed air source (5-10psi) from a portable tank with a regulator or a compressor), a dedicated electric oven or toaster oven, and powder colors.
About Original Hotcoat Powdercoating Gun
Why powder coat? Because it gives you one of the most economical, color-durable, and longest-lasting finishes available. You'll find powder-coated surfaces are far more resistant to chipping, scratches, fading, and wear than other finishes, and the color selection is virtually unlimited, with high and low gloss, metallic, and clear finishes available. And thanks to the UV resistance of many of the powders, colors stay bright and vibrant longer. Texture selections range from smooth surfaces to a wrinkled or matte finish, plus rough textures designed for hiding surface imperfections.
One 8-oz. bottle of powder (not included) covers the same area as 2-3 cans of spray paint, and clean-up is easy, since you can simply sweep-up the oversprayed powder. Contains no environmentally harmful solvents. HotCoat powder coating requires a 5-10psi compressed air source and dedicated electric oven (or toaster oven). Imported.
Original HotCoat Gun with power source and instructions
10021ZP Metal-2-Metal Surface Filler
10078 High-Temp Silicone Plugs, 30 pcs.
10027 High-Temp Masking Tape
43045 Stainless Steel .041" Safety Wire
Hotcoat Bottle and Lid Replacement Set 3 pak
Powder Coating Accessories Kit
Power unit supplies over 9000v DC at 15 micro amps. Plugs into grounded 110-120v AC outlet. Gun requires as little as 0.5 cfm at 5-10 psi. The 50061 Eastwood Air Brush Compressor works well. Fill cup no more than 1/4 to 1/3 full, and wave the nozzle in a circular motion about 4-6" from the surface best results. Do not apply powder into a small boxed area.
(Q) How long does the baking process take?
(A) For improved flow out (less "orange peel"), bake coated parts at 500 degrees F until powder flows out (about 3-4 minutes for light sheet metal parts), then turn down the heat to 400 degrees F for a full 15 minutes.
(Q) What are the electrical requirements?
(A) This HotCoat Gun requires 110-125VAC, 2 amps at 50-60 Hz. Can be used with a voltage transformer such as 220-240VAC to 110-125VAC as long as the transformer can handle 2 amps.
Safety / Instructions
Use Disposable Dust Mask (22055) when handling or applying powder. Powder,like common flour, suspended in the air in high concentrations can be explosive. To minimize any explosion risk - sweep up, do not vacuum powder from the floor. Cure powder in a well ventilated area. The urethane powders we sell liberate a very minute amount of isocyanates when the powder flows out.This usually occurs about 3-5 minutes after the part is placed in the oven to bake. Wear a respirator, like our SAS Bandit Respirator (11455 or 11456), cartridges when curing or inspecting flow out progress.

'American Buffalo': Director Damashek sees revival as timelyJune 11, 2014
Photo: David Allen
Anyone fortunate enough to have seen the Magic Theatre's quietly sizzling 1997 production of David Mamet's "Cryptogram" could be excused for assuming that director Barbara Damashek was an old hand at his work. Not so. That rich, dramatic tightrope of a production was her first Mamet. Her Aurora Theatre production of "American Buffalo," the 1975 small-time-heist-gone-wrong that became an instant classic of modern American theater, is her second.

After some bugs gathered and fixed, the bugfix release of LXPanel got its time to happen. So 0.8.1 now. In addition to 17 complete translations in 0.8.0, it now also completely translated to Japanese and Polish languages. The most probably it's the fisrt and the last in 0.8.x series, time to do some development is around, you can wait for new awesome features, of course.
New release tarball download link:
lxpanel-0.8.1.tar.xz –
SHA1: bfaf34b2574b02b9703777904e658ed082cf17dd
Changes since previous release 0.8.0 (see git log for details):
Since the release of LXQt 0.9 several days ago, many people are curious about its memory usage since in the release announcement we mentioned the use of two libraries from KDE framework 5. Don't worry! They are just "pure Qt libraries" without other KDE dependencies (Thank you KDE guys!). Good engineers always base their design desicions on careful analysis, experiments, and measurements, not politics. If a library works pretty well, it does not really matter where it comes from or it belongs to which camp. If it's free software and it's suitable for our need, I'd say "use it". Here are some numbers of memory usage after cold boot.
Testing environment:
Memory usage after cold boot:
Well, for those who still remembered my previous report, the memory usage increased. But wait! All of the DEs, including Openbox, have the same degree of growth in memory usage. So it's more possibly caused by the upgrade of the system itself. If you see the difference between plain openbox and LXQt, we only added 38 MiB (LXQt 0.8 added 37 MiB). Given that we migrated to Qt5 and added new features, both of which should normally increase memory usage, the current results are reasonable. Seriously, there are still room for more optimizations but we need some time to finish them.
LXQt aims to be a "modern" desktop with some "classic" designs which does not get in your way. We're not going to clone KDE. Besides, don't worry about resource usage. That's the challange for developers and we'll fight for it.
As we're going to have a new release for LXQt 0.9, I'd like to provide some performance tips for users and packagers.
We're going to release LXQt 0.9 very soon!
Hope these tips help. Cheers!

I have pretty fair skin, at least at this time of year. And, when it looks especially pale it seems that much easier to spot my spots, dark undereye circles, and other unpleasantries. Ever notice during the summer when you have a slight tan, that you tend to wear less makeup and feel naturally prettier? Well, there is no need to enter a tanning salon to get your bake on today. With one product and five minutes or less, I've got you covered.
I first experimented with Mystic Tan's Sunless Tanning Lotion a couple of years ago, and it's one item I still keep in my bathroom cabinet for emergencies. Despite the market presence of some more expensive (and, ahem, better smelling!) tanning products, this is the one I turn to again and again. All you need to do is wash your face with a foaming cleanser, making sure to get your ears and neck in the process. Pat dry gently with a hand towel.
Once your skin is dry yet dewy, drop a dime-sized dollop of this cream into your palm and work into the skin of your face in a circular motion. Make sure to apply evenly, pulling toward your hairline, ears, and just under your chin. When your face has dried, you can put on a little more moisturizer with SPF and then some eye and lip makeup. But chances are you won't need foundation (or much concealer) because that glow will have you looking gorg within twenty minutes tops.

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents
|<< Events in the history of ...
|< Background
|Conclusion on Auschwitz >
|Result >>
32. A striking feature of this aspect of the case was that evidence and submissions as to what happened at Auschwitz included a consideration of views currently held, that is held at the time of the trial. It is striking because of the emphasis otherwise placed on behalf of the applicant on the contents of his books being assessed on the basis of evidence available at the time of publication. Having made that submission strongly, Mr Davies accepts that, in relation to Auschwitz, the respondents can succeed if they establish that, at any point in time, including the time of the trial, the applicant has adopted a position so contrary to the evidence as to be perverse. On this issue, evidence was given by both sides on the basis of evidence currently available. It is accepted that the applicant modified his position in the course of the trial.
33. The judge's conclusion (13.91) was:
"Having considered the various arguments advanced by Irving to assail the effect of the convergent evidence relied on by the Defendants, it is my conclusion that no objective, fair-minded historian would have serious cause to doubt that there were gas chambers at Auschwitz and that they were operated on a substantial scale to kill hundreds of thousands of Jews."
34. Mr Davies submits that, having set out the correct test at paragraphs 13.3 and 13.4, the judge set out the wrong test at paragraph 13.70 when considering this issue:
"In these circumstances the central question which, as it appears to me, falls to be determined is whether or not the evidence supports the Defendants' contention that the number of deaths ran into hundreds of thousands or whether Irving is right when he claims that the killing by gas was on a modest scale."By using the expression "whether Irving is right", the judge has wrongly stated the issue and wrongly reversed the burden of proof, it is submitted. The conclusion reached flows from that misdirection. Secondly, submits Mr Davies, the conclusion at 13.91 is not justified by the findings at 13.71 to 13.90.
35. Until the publication of the Leuchter report, the applicant had expressed no view, submits Mr Davies, on Auschwitz. He was a specialist on the military campaigns of the Third Reich and not on extermination. Mr Fred Leuchter was expert in execution procedures including the administration of gas and it was what the applicant read in his report in 1988 that convinced him that there was no truth in the claim that Jews met their death in large numbers in gas chambers at Auschwitz. The judge set out Leuchter's findings in detail (7.79 to 7.89). Professor van Pelt dismissed the Leuchter report as flawed and unreliable. As the judge noted in his conclusions on Leuchter (13.79 and 13.80), the applicant agreed that the Leuchter report was fundamentally flawed. He accepted that a false assumption by Leuchter vitiated Leuchter's conclusion and the applicant conceded the existence of many other factual errors in the report.
36. The applicant's case is not that the Leuchter report can now be considered reliable but that it had appeared reliable when brought to the applicant's attention in 1988 and that the applicant was acting honestly in relying on it at that time. Moreover, on the evidence available at the time of trial, it was still an issue for legitimate historical debate whether Jews had been systematically gassed at Auschwitz. The evidence for the proposition that there was mass gassing is nowhere near so strong, it is submitted, that it is perverse for the applicant to entertain doubts about it. The applicant's position is that there were no gassings at Auschwitz 1 and only random gassings at Auschwitz 2. There remain good grounds for scepticism as to what had happened at Auschwitz, it is submitted.
37. On the applicant's behalf, Mr Davies made a sustained attack upon the reliability of the evidence which led the judge to his conclusion (13.91) already quoted. There were serious doubts about the reliability of Olëre's drawings which showed, for example, the impossible event of flames 90 ft long emerging from a chimney. They could not be treated as corroborating Tauber's account. The subsequent statements of Höss, the camp commandant, could not be relied on because of obvious exaggeration. Broad was a man of flexible allegiances in that he had served first the Gestapo, and after the war the British and was unreliable. Professor van Pelt had accepted that the building at Auschwitz 1 now visited by tourists had not been used as a gas chamber during the war.
38. The judge had treated as corroboration (13.77) what could not properly so be treated and the applicant was entitled to his doubts about the eye-witness evidence. Mr Davies refers to the applicant's challenge at the trial to the evidence of Professor van Pelt that the single air photograph he had selected for use at the trial "very clearly showed that there are four introduction deliveries in morgue No 1". (Day 10, p 26, line 12). (There was an issue as to whether gas could have been introduced into the building.) It was but a single photograph, of unknown date and Professor van Pelt accepted that it was impossible to say what kind of shadow the objects cast. On the issue of the existence of chimneys protruding through the roof, the judge himself found the photographic evidence hard to interpret (13.73). He acknowledged (13.83) that the argument that there was no evidence of the presence of chimneys or ducts in the roof of morgue 1 at crematorium 2 "deserves to be taken seriously".
39. Mr Davies also relies, as did the applicant at the trial, on the absence of references to gassing in the captured records of deaths at Auschwitz. Moreover, reports from the camp to Berlin, in cypher, did not mention gassing. The cypher had, unknown to the German authorities, been broken by the British and reports were decoded at Bletchley Park. Secrecy was not maintained with respect to other methods of mass murder and there was even gloating over some atrocities, for example, by the Einsatzgruppen. A British document prepared by a senior Foreign Office official demonstrated that as late as August 1943 the Office had no evidence of mass executions in gas chambers. Had gassing occurred at Auschwitz it was surprising that there were no better records of it. The applicant was entitled to his genuine doubt as to events at Auschwitz. The applicant accepted that a very large number of people had died at Auschwitz, by other methods of killing and as a result of disease. His refusal to accept the systematic use of gas chambers to kill large numbers of Jews could not be described on the evidence as perverse.
40. That the judge considered carefully the evidence and the submissions of the applicant at the trial is clear:(We were told that the author of the letter of 28 June 1943 was Bischoff and not Muller as stated in the judgment handed down. We were also told that a correction was made at the time of handing-down.)
"13.73 I recognise the force of many of Irving's comments upon some of those categories. He is right to point out that contemporaneous documents, such as drawings, plans, correspondence with contractors and the like, yield little clear evidence of the existence of gas chambers designed to kill humans. Such isolated references to the use of gas are to be found amongst these documents can be explained by the need to fumigate clothes so as to reduce the incidence of diseases such as typhus. The quantities of Zyklon-B delivered to the camp may arguably be explained by the need to fumigate clothes and other objects. It is also correct that one of the most compromising documents namely Bischoff's letter of 28 June 1943 setting out the number of cadavers capable of being burnt in the incinerators, has a number of curious features which raise the possibility that it is not authentic. In addition, the photographic evidence for the existence of chimneys protruding through the roof of morgue 1 at crematorium 2 is, I accept, hard to interpret.
13.74 Similarly Irving had some valid comments to make about the various accounts given by survivors of the camp and by camp officials. Some of those accounts were given in evidence at the post-war trials. The possibility exists that some of these witnesses invented some or even all of the experiences which they describe. Irving suggested the possibility of cross-pollination, by which he meant the possibility that witnesses may have repeated and even embellished the (invented) accounts of other witnesses with the consequence that a corpus of false testimony is built up. Irving pointed out that parts of some of the accounts of some of the witnesses are obviously wrong or (like some of Olëre's drawings) clearly exaggerated. He suggested various motives why witnesses might have given false accounts, such as greed and resentment (in the case of survivors) and fear and the wish to ingratiate themselves with their captors (in the case of camp officials). Van Pelt accepted that these possibilities exist. I agree".
41. The contentions of the parties, and the evidence relied on, are fully set out both in section (v) of the judgment and in section (xiii). The judge summarised the respondents' case (13.73) as being "that there exists what van Pelt described as a "convergence" of evidence which is to the ordinary, dispassionate mind overwhelming that hundreds of thousands of Jews were systematically gassed to death at Auschwitz."
42. The judge stated (13.72) that it appeared to him to "be important to keep well in mind the diversity of the categories [of evidence] and the extent to which those categories are mutually corroborative". The judge set out a summary of the documentary evidence and the eye-witness evidence. He stated (13.75) that "it appears to me that the cumulative effect of the documentary evidence for the genocidal operation of gas chambers at Auschwitz is considerable". As to the eye-witness evidence, he stated that while he acknowledged "that reliability of the eye-witness evidence is variable, what is to me striking about that category of evidence is the similarity of the accounts and the extent to which they are consistent with the documentary evidence". The judge concluded:
"13.78 My conclusion is that the various categories of evidence do 'converge' in the manner suggested by the Defendants. I accept their contention which I have summarised in paragraph 7.75 above. My overall assessment of the totality of the evidence that Jews were killed in large numbers in the gas chambers at Auschwitz is that it would require exceedingly powerful reasons to reject it. Irving has argued that such reasons do exist."
43. Following that provisional conclusion, the judge set out the reasons relied on by the applicant, the Leuchter report, the alleged absence of holes in the roof of morgue 1 of crematorium 2, the case that gas chambers were required for fumigation purposes or (on re-design) to serve as air-raid shelters and the arguments relating to "death books", decrypts and coke consumption. In relation to the holes in the roof, the judge concluded (13.83) that "an objective historian, taking account of all the evidence, would conclude that the apparent absence of evidence of holes in the roof of morgue at crematorium 2 falls far short of being a good reason for rejecting the cumulative effect of the evidence on which the Defendants rely". In relation to the use of gas chambers for other purposes, he concluded (13.86) that he cannot accept "that this argument would come anywhere near displacing the conclusion to be drawn from the convergent evidence relied on by the Defendants for their contentions as to the object of the redesign work". The other points did not impress the judge and he added that he did not "consider that they would have impressed a dispassionate historian either". In relation to "death books", the judge referred to the unchallenged evidence of a large number of witnesses that "the books record only the deaths of those who were formally registered as inmates of the camp. The Jews who were selected on arrival to die were taken straight to the gas chambers without being registered. One would not therefore expect to find mention of the cause of death of those Jews in the death books". (13.88).
44. In relation to camp reports, the judge concluded:
"13.89 Reports were sent regularly from the camp to Berlin in cypher. They were intercepted and decoded at Bletchley Park. Although these reports often gave the cause of death, they did not mention gassing. In my judgment there are two reasons why little significance is to be attached to this: the first is that there was a strict rule of secrecy about the gassing and the second is that, like the death books, these reports, related to registered inmates only".

Aiken will soon say goodbye to it's most recent Kentucky Derby horse. Dogwood Stable's Limehouse was sold as a stud horse and will move to Kentucky. But as News 12 reports, Limehouse has already left his mark all over town.
Placing fourth in the 2004 Kentucky Derby, Limehouse put Aiken in the limelight.
He's filled the offices of his home, Dogwood Stables, with silver trophies and is the sixth horse to win a million dollars for Dogwood. Now, Limehouse has been sold to a Kentucky stud farm for a reported $6 million.
"He's cut out to be a great stallion," said Jack Sadler, Dogwood's Vice President.
Dogwood's Vice President Jack Sadler says less than one percent of the nation's horses become studs. Stallions must come from a good bloodline and be a winner.
When Dogwood Stables horses start winning, people even outside of the horse community get excited. During last year's Derby, this Limehouse button was a hot commodity.
Limehouse's Derby run even inspired a lime green drink "Limehouse Rocks" at the Bowery Restaurant downtown. And the thoroughbred inspired a few locals as well.
"Go Limehouse! He's our local hero, we're all rooting for him on Derby day!" a local fan said in 2004.
"When these horses come back to Aiken then a lot of people like to come back to see them at the training center," Sadler said.
Limehouse's success put Aiken in the national spotlight. And now many are hoping he'll be the dad of the next big winner.
Limehouse will still race with Dogwood Stables until the end of the year. Another big success at Dogwood Stables was Summer Squall, who won the Preakness in 1990. One of Summer Squall's sons went on to win the Kentucky Derby.

The Voice of American Aerospace and Defense.
AIA plays a preeminent role in representing the aerospace and defense industry in all facets of the Department of Defense's acquisition process. During this time of declining defense budgets, it is imperative that industry actively engage with Congress, the Pentagon, and the White House to streamline processes and reduce unnecessary costs to ensure that the defense industrial base remains viable and vibrant.
While many activities are underway, AIA is seeking our members input into a very important request from the Chair and Ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and Congressman Thornberry seeking improvements to the acquisition system. They have asked for our response by July 10 in order to inform the Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. You can access the letter in the link below. We have also provided for your convenience, a template to structure your responses to the eight issues posed in the letter. The email address email@example.com has been set up to receive your responses and any other relevant comments to this challenging initiative. This webpage also provides access to the many reports and position papers AIA has published on various acquisition issues. These are consensus documents for your reference and will be used as the foundation for responding to the letter.
This effort is being led by the Councils, Committees and Working Groups in AIA's National Security and Acquisition Policy division together with the Washington Procurement Committee in AIA's Legislative Division. We look forward to working with you and putting together an actionable product to the Congress that alleviates cost and burden on industry and ultimately protects DOD's modernization and operating accounts into the future.

This week Martin McDonagh's new film Seven Psychopaths opens, and it's sure to take the Irish playwright and film director to a new level of success after the 2008 indie hit In Bruges. Cahir O'Doherty talks to the Oscar winning writer about celebrating each Christmas in Galway, his long journey from working class south London to the palm trees of Hollywood, and his plan to return to Ireland in theater and film.
Some people suspect psychopaths surround them, but writer Marty Faranan (Colin Farrell) knows it for a fact.
An Irish screenwriter who has run out of original ideas in a town where that's career suicide, saddled with a girlfriend at the end of her rope (Abbie Cornish), Marty's life is finally turned upside down by his well-meaning but insane best friend Billy (Sam Rockwell).
Before he knows what's happened to him, Marty is an accomplice to his friend's dog-knapping business until they make the biggest mistake of their lives -- pilfering the Shih Tzu belonging to mob boss Charlie Costello (Woody Harrelson), a man who would shoot your head off without a word but who still somehow adores his little puppy.
It's the kind of shoot em' up scenario that playwright McDonagh, 44, has made his stock in trade since his early Irish theatrical shockers like The Beauty Queen of Leenane set the theatrical world (and Broadway) on fire back in the late nineties.
Written and directed by McDonagh, Seven Psychopaths will probably be the general audience hit he has been hoping for when it opens this Friday. Previously McDonagh's 2008's independent flick In Bruges wowed the critics but really didn't do the kind of box office business that the London-born Irish writer and director had hoped for.
But then Colin Farrell won a Golden Globe Award for his role and suddenly the film was back in play. Since then Dubliner Farrell has become a go-to actor for McDonagh.
"We really like each other and share the same sense of humor and ideas about film and acting," McDonagh tells the Irish Voice during an interview on Monday.
"It's probably the sense of humor that's completely on the same page and that's why we do good work together."
Since his debut at a theatrical wonder kid in the late nineties, McDonagh's work has delighted in upsetting people's expectations. He's always been more punk rock than masterpiece theater, and he'd be the first to say so.
"The Clash and the Pogues and people like that were a big influence on me in my teens," says McDonagh. "I guess as much as you want to be a part of the filmmaking or theater world, you kind of also want to question the parts you disagree with about them. I guess a punk rock sensibility frees you up to do that."
Critics often say McDonagh "came from nowhere," which is a kind of snooty code for saying he's Irish and he's working class. He's hasn't forgotten his roots at all.
"I guess when you come from my background it's always going to be there. Success or being part of Hollywood or the theater community was never on the agenda. I just want to do good work," he says.
"The success isn't an issue really; it's about expressing an opinion about the world that isn't really being expressed maybe. That's always there and I don't think that's going to change really."
Now that his focus in Seven Psychopaths is on American gangsters McDonagh is free to explore one of the enduring elements of American drama -- guns.
"It's something that in a playful way I kind of wanted to point out and question I guess. Why does every movie have to have guys with guns in it? I love those kinds of films, but I didn't want to make one without poking fun a little bit or being a little satirical about it."
The film leads to an explosive shootout at the Joshua Tree, that landmark made famous by U2 and that McDonagh loves for his own reasons.
"I just always thought of it as a beautiful place. I went there for the first time about 10 years ago with the purpose of thinking about it being the location to end this film," he says.
"I love those Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns and things like that, and it's so close to Los Angeles too so it was a prefect place for the boys to end up."
So Bono wasn't a part of this equation? "No, not really. I swear. I was always more of a Pogues fan than a U2 fan."
Fans of McDonagh's Irish plays will want to know if he has plans to return to the landscape that brought him fame.
"I will yeah," he says simply. "I'm always back in Connemara because my parents are back there and I'm back about three or four times a year myself. I mean John (his filmmaker brother) is just in the middle of his second one in Ireland and I hear all the stories that come from there," McDonagh says.

Post subject: Lunch ideas for baby
Hi, my 11.5 month old has finally started chewing a bit better and has managed cheese spread sandwiches and banana sandwiches. He loves his fruit and often eats this at lunch but I'm really stuck for simple ideas for lunch. I don't like him having too much bread because of the salt content. Does anybody have any ideas that are really quick to make (he's very impatient at waiting), are healthy and not too difficult to chew.

My LO loves orzo pasta. If you are not familiar with it, it is a bit like rice in size. Takes about 7 mins to cook and you can mix it with lots of things. I usually mix in pesto and parmasan or a little homemade tomato based sauce and also tuna or cheese or just some unsalted butter.
Also, omelettes and homemade thick veg and lentil soups.

I usually cook up carrots in sticks, pasta tubes and peas, I over cook the pasta and carrots so they are soft, make loads on one day and reheat the leftover the next.
Supermarkets sell mixed chopped veg in bags, that's good to have in as its already prepped, just need a little cooking.
Root veg chips are good too e.g. sweat potato peeled and chipped, boiled up then drained and a little olive oil added, I put these into batches and freeze it, when I want it I defrost in advance and stick in the oven.

I found some colorquartz "t grade" and am looking for opinions from any that have used this stuff in the past. I want a black substrate for one of my tanks but I have had some bad luck with black gravel and the paint coming off and killing some fish in the past.
I seem to remember some people here that have used colorquartz in their tanks in the past. I am wondering is it a good substrate? does it lose its color like normal gravel does?

If recent history were any indication, goals were going to be at a premium Saturday night when the Campolindo High boys soccer team hosted Hayward in a North Coast Section Division II quarterfinal match.
Instead, No. 3 Campolindo scored twice in each half to beat sixth-seeded Hayward 4-1 and advance to Wednesday's semifinals against No. 2 Ygnacio Valley. Campolindo and Hayward tied 0-0 when the two teams met Jan. 26.
The previous two times Campolindo (17-7-2) reached the semifinals -- in 2008 and 2011 -- it won the NCS title.
"This team has a lot in common with the team from the last time we won it," Campolindo coach Shane Carney said. "This team is trying to improve as the season goes along."
The Cougars scored first in the 32nd minute as Preston Kilwien capitalized on a 2-on-1 and buried a shot in the bottom left corner.
Matteo Notini's goal in the 40th minute made it 2-0. Hayward (18-5-3) got a lifeline when Anthony Gray earned a penalty kick, and Rigo Castillo buried it to cut the lead to one. But Campolindo goals by Seth Kofman and Robin Slovak put the match out of reach.
California 3, Monte Vista 1: DeVante Raynor scored two goals -- the first less than three minutes into this NCS Division I quarterfinal -- as the visiting Grizzlies beat the second-seeded Mustangs.
Less than three minutes into the contest, Raynor latched onto a nice through ball from Rob Rowenhorst and made a couple of nice moves to free himself for a shot that found the net.
Roughly five minutes later, Calvin Smith made it 2-0 for No. 7 California (18-6-2) off a short lead pass from Nathan Grixti.
Any hope Monte Vista (17-4-4) had for a comeback were dashed when Raynor found an open net off a long ball from Grixti 7:45 into the second half. Michael Ha scored for Monte Vista midway through the second half.

Piedmont 1, Dublin 0: Sophomore Erin Greening scored in the 77th minute, and the visiting Highlanders upended Dublin in the NCS Division II quarterfinals.
No. 6 seeded Piedmont (16-5-2), which didn't advance past the first round last season, will face No. 2 Campolindo in Wednesday's semifinals.
No. 3 Dublin (8-9-7), which finished second in the tough Diablo Foothill Athletic League, controlled much of the first half, but the Highlanders turned it up a notch in the second.
The Gaels nearly equalized the game in the 79th minute, but hustling freshman Xenia Perea's shot from point-blank range went about a foot wide.
On her winning goal, Greening found some space on the right and ripped a low 20-yard shot past goalkeeper Alexandra Brown into the near corner.
"I wasn't expecting it," Greening said. "I saw an opening, and I just took it, and it went in."

St. Mary's 48, Salesian 40: The Panthers limited the Pride to 21 points through three quarters as St. Mary's won the Tri-County Athletic League playoff championship game at El Cerrito High.
With the victory, the Panthers (25-4) will most likely earn the No. 1 seed in Division IV when seeding for the NCS playoffs are announced Sunday.
The Panthers' Gabby Green scored a team-high 21 points, including seven in a key 9-1 run in the first four minutes of the second quarter.
St. Mary's had a 12-7 lead at the start of the second quarter, but a 3-pointer in the left corner by Green and two free throws in the first minute started the 9-1 run. Salesian (23-6) didn't get closer than six points the rest of the game.
Salesian's Mariya Moore scored a team-high 21 points, but 11 of those points were in the final four minutes of the game. The Panthers held a 37-21 lead after three quarters. Moore also had 11 rebounds.
St. Mary's Mikayla Cowling had 11 points, and eight rebounds.
-- Phil Jensen
Boys basketball
Salesian 65, El Cerrito 51: The Pride (26-3) used a 15-4 run in the second quarter to take control and win the Tri-County Athletic League playoff championship game. Jabari Bird led a balanced Salesian scoring effort with 16 points. Anthony Sullen led host El Cerrito (20-9) with 18 points.
