The Winter's Tale
by William Shakespeare
The Winter's Tale Compassion and Forgiveness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Line numbers correspond to the Norton edition.
Quote #1
Welcome hither,
As is the spring to the earth.
The blessed gods
Purge all infection from our air whilst you
Do climate here! (5.3.13-15)
Leontes, whose been suffering in Sicily for sixteen long years, suggests that Florizel's presence is like the arrival of spring after a long, cold, harsh winter. What's more, Florizel's arrival in Sicily seems to have a healing effect on the king and his ailing court, which has yet to recover from the deaths of Hermione and Mammilius and the loss of baby Perdita.
Quote #2
Sir, you have done enough, and have perform'd
A saint-like sorrow: no fault could you make,
Which you have not redeem'd; indeed, paid down
More penitence than done trespass: at the last,
Do as the heavens have done, forget your evil;
With them forgive yourself. (5.1.1)
Cleomenes suggests that Leontes has suffered long enough for his sins and urges the king to forgive himself. So, what do you think? Has Leontes "paid down more penitence than [he's] done trespass"? Why or why not?
Quote #3
I lost a couple, that 'twixt heaven and earth
Might thus have stood begetting wonder as
You, gracious couple, do: and then I lost--
All mine own folly--the society,
Amity too, of your brave father, whom,
Though bearing misery, I desire my life
Once more to look on him. (5.1.12)
Leontes admits that it's his fault he lost his beloved family and dear friend. Yet, despite his "misery," he also holds out hope that he'll one day see Florizel's "brave father" again.

He Ent to the Bog
Also Known As: Hamburger
Music: Gordon/McBride
Albums: The White Tape
Historian: Mark Toscano
Perhaps "Home On the Range is not a hamburgers favorite song. Some hamburgers might be inclined to name this Mike Gordon track from Phishs White Tape as their favorite, for it pays curious homage to the hamburger cause. Rife with hamburger witticisms and originally called Hamburger by fans prior to the official release of this recording, this sonic construction is reminiscent of The Beatles Revolution 9. Not coincidentally, portions of this recording were used for Phishs live performance of that Lennon/Ono puzzler during The Phab Fours White Album set in Glens Falls, NY on 10/31/94. Talk about synchronicitous duplicity, sheesh.

drypoint - An intaglio printing process in which burrs are left on the plate by the pointed needle (or "pencil") that directly inscribes lines. A kind of engraving which has a soft, fuzzy line because of the metal burrs.
Its disadvantage is that because such plates wear out quickly, editions are usually limited to 50 or fewer prints.

Funk's Mothership Lands in Washington, D.C.
The Smithsonian isn't the hippest of institutions: The "new" wing of the National Gallery of Art, completed in 1978, is still considered a bit "edgy." But a version of the Mothership that the band Parliament-Funkadelic made the centerpiece of its sci-fi-infused live shows has been acquired by the National Museum of African American History and Culture, somewhat changing the equation.
It's actually not the originally Mothership, which made its debut in the mid-'70s, according to the Washington Post. That one somehow got misplaced, and a replica was built in the 1990s. But the new one has also been out on tour. Writes the Post's Chris Richards:
When the band lowered the Mothership from the rafters of the Capital Centre in Landover [MD] in 1977, the response was rapturous. Not only was it instantly stunning — it felt like a cosmic metaphor for the sense of possibility that followed the civil rights movement.
D.C.'s sometime nickname "Chocolate City" also comes from a Parliament song.
The Mothership will be part of a permanent music exhibition at the new museum, which is scheduled to open in 2015.

Helpful Tips
I'm having trouble fitting my pet, can you help?
Properly fitting attire is a must for everyone! For Collars, measuring around your pet's neck and adding 10% for comfort is the general rule of thumb. For Harnesses, measuring their girth (just behind the elbows) and adding 5-10% will be the measurement your are looking for. That said, there are many different shapes and sizes of pet and some that will be tough to fit.
Please feel free to contact us directly with any sizing issues you may run into!
How do I wash my Lupine collar?
Machine-washing our products is fine. Some people use a mesh bag (to save wear-and-tear on the inside of the tub), others just put them in with jeans and similar sturdy clothes. The key points are warm, not hot water; mild soap, no bleach; and air dry only – don't put them in the dryer. For extreme situations, pre-soaking in an enzymatic cleaner like Nature's Miracle or Simple Solution may be helpful.
How do I put the Roman Harness on?
Unbuckle the clasp on the girth strap. The strap with the D-ring should be on top with the D-ring pointing towards the tail. Place the two adjustable shoulder straps over the dog's head. Pick up the dog's left front paw and place over the sternum strap, so that the strap passes between the forelegs. Adjust and buckle the girth. The girth should be supported by the rib cage all the way around, especially underneath. Adjusting the shoulders smaller will shorten the front-to-back length
of the harness.
How do I put the Step In Harness on?
When unbuckled, two openings are created for the paws, with an adjustable sternum strap between. Bring the ends up and over the dog's back and fasten the buckle. Adjust the front and back straps for a secure fit, then adjust the sternum strap so it fits snugly.My Step In Harness was stitched wrong, what do I do?
While we fully realize we are not above mistakes, it is possible to twist the harness so it appears it was put together wrong. Before you send it back for replacement, take a look at this diagram or feel free to give us a call and we can walk you through it!
A Martingale Collar is a dual-action collar for walking and training and the only design for greyhounds and similar dogs that back out of regular collars. The Lupine Martingale Collar differs from other Martingale-style collars because it is made with an additional sewn-in D-ring so it can be used either as a limited-slip choker or as a regular flat collar. Ask your favorite retailer about the Martingale collar today!
Note: This collar should not be left on an unattended or unleashed dog.
Need an extra large collar, or an extra long leash? Contact us with your request and
we'll let you know if we can help you out!
Who should I send my great idea to?
We look forward to great new pattern and product ideas! Colors, themes, icons, the next great invention? If you have any suggestions please feel free to email us through the contact form.
We love hearing from the folks that use our products!
I'd like to have multiple Lupine collars for my pup, but changing their tags is such a pain!
Can you help?
The short answer is YES! Lupine now distributes The Rubit (roo'-bit') Dog Tag Clip. This simple, stylish, and secure clip lets you swiftly transition tags to different collars. When you want to change collars, you just unclip the Rubit from your old collar and clip it to the new one. It's that easy!

My somewhat limited life goal as my age odometer rolls toward five-oh is to be the Nate Silver of my corner of the world. The guy got his start "Moneyball" style with baseball stats, then turned his focus to political numbers, at first just on a plain ole Blogspot blog like this. Now gone pro, he nailed every state in 2012 and gets presidential shout outs.
Yesterday Silver turned his genius to the marriage equality trendlines, in light of a couple just re-elected red state Democrats (McCaskill, Tester) who'd come out – I love this term in this contest – for equality. Silver asks, where will their states be by 2018, and as usual both answers and overkills:
By 2016, however, voters in 32 states would be willing to vote in
support of same-sex marriage, according to the model. And by 2020,
voters in 44 states would do so, assuming that same-sex marriage
continues to gain support at roughly its previous rate… It might require a religious
revival among the youngest generation of Americans to reverse the trend.
That caveat captures the diminishing opposition. It's getting easier to list the Democrats who haven't yet signed on to full equality than the ones who have. Marc Ambinder looks at the unprecedented speed of society's flip and concludes:
Once the barrier to gays serving in the military fell, and…nothing
apocalyptic happened, and once a few states began to experiment with gay
marriage, and…nothing apocalyptic happened, the only remaining
arguments against same-sex unions are religious and provincial. They're
small. They're associated with bigotry. No one wants to be a bigot.
On the flip side, TheIowaRepublican's Craig Robinson fights history:
"Sure, gay activists want marriage rights, but what they are really after is validation of their lifestyle."
Umm… yeah? You say that like it's a bad thing.

Skill Level Beginner
So, now we are continuing on with this logo from Illustrator. I have done few little color embellishments here. I'll teach you how to do that later on in this training series. But now, we finally get to this place where the rubber meets the road and talk about animation, how to bring things to life in After Effects. Again, the great the joy of After Effects is that when you learn how to animate anything, any one property in After Effects, everything animates the same, exact way. And as you go through this training series, you'll see that, and it'll bring you joy. So, let's go to this Explore layer, go ahead and come over to left side of the name Explore and click this right-facing arrow to expand this layer and see its contents.
Every layer has this Transform area. So, click the arrow next to Transform to expand it, and you'll see five different values. Again, this is the same case on every layer. It's not just this Explore layer. It's every layer in After Effects has the same five properties. These are the key elements of animation in After Effects, and we'll be talking about these through this chapter. Now just so we don't get confused here I am going to select the Explore layer, so it's highlighted. You can see these layers are not highlighted, and this one is.
Go ahead and press the letter R on your keyboard to reveal the Rotation property only. So, we have just Rotation, the stopwatch next to Rotation and then its value. Initially, this may look confusing, because we 0x+0.0 degrees. That may look a little off- putting at first, but we will talk about rotation specifically later on in this chapter, and you will see it's not super confusing. What I am going to do is I am going to go the right value of the two different zeros and just click and drag to the right.
Now you'll see that as we go left, it rotates counterclockwise. As we go right, it rotates clockwise. And then let's say we'll twist a little bit and then grab Current Time Indicator and move around in time. You can see that it just stays there. It doesn't change in value. So, if you change your property in After Effects, After Effects will assume, by default, that is the way that you want things to be. But see when you animate something, you want it to change value over time.
The way that we do is with the stopwatch and really, animation is a three-step process. I am going to go ahead and click this value, and when we'll click that value once, we'll get a field where we can manually type in a value. So, I am going to type in 0 and press Enter. So, the three steps to animate are, first click the stopwatch. That tells After Effects we want this property to change over time. That action also After Effects to remember the current value at this particular time.
So, it creates this little diamond here in the timeline. It's kind of like marker, an indicator that at this particular place in time, at 3 second and 13 frames in this case, it'll be at this value, at (0,0). So, all we have done so far is to click the stopwatch. Step two is to move in time. Step three is to change the value and again, a little diamond has been created for us, and that's After Effects' way of telling us that it remembers this value, 36 degrees, at this time, at 7 seconds and 6 frames.
Now folks, this is the magic of After Effects. That's all you have to do. If we scrub our Current Time Indicator, we can see that the value automatically changes to go from point A to point B, and that's all we have to do. We didn't have to tell it, "Okay, After Effects. Those are the two values that you want. Now you go animate." It automatically did that for us. Now one word of caution: if I hit Command+Z or Ctrl+Z on the PC, that will undo my last action, and that is how you undo a keyframe.
You can also select it and then hit the Delete key. I will actually redo that edit, redo value change. And I could select it and then I'll hit Delete. When they are not selected, they are gray. Those of the two methods that are okay for deleting keyframes. If you were to click the stopwatch again, basically deselecting the stopwatch, that would erase all keyframes for that property and whatever the current value is, that will be the permanent value then. So, be very careful with that. A lot of students that I have taught, that's like their first inclination when they are playing around with a value or with animation at first. They want to click the stopwatch again when they want to undo something, but that will wipe the slate entirely clean.
Sometimes you might want that, but be aware that that's what you are doing when you deselect the stopwatch. Now we are going to go through a series of these, actually all of these transforms. If I close that layer, open it again and see all these different transforms, it works the same exact way with Position, with Scale, Opacity. It's the same exact thing. I click the stopwatch, let's say, for example, Opacity, which refers to the transparency of the objects. And 100% is completely opaque and not transparent. So, I click the stopwatch, move in time, and change the value.
I can drag this to the left to fade that out a little bit, and it fades out automatically. Now that's pretty much the end of the tutorial. We are going to be practicing with these five properties throughout this chapter. So, if that's all you need, you can just close this movie. I wanted to give you some artistic background for those of who that are interested in kind of going the extra mile as far as your knowledge is concerned. But this comes back from an original Disney concept for animation. What they were do, and actually what's still done on shows like the Simpsons and whatnot, they're hand-drawn animation.
What they'll do is they will have the high-paid animators create the important frames of animation, and then they'll send the work off to maybe overseas or somewhere where people are making less money and the labor cheaper or maybe to a junior animator, and they make the frames in between the key, or in other words the important frames. Well, After Effects uses this analogy as well, and that is what we are doing. You and I, as users of After Effects, we are the keyframe creators.
We say, "Okay, After Effects I want you to here at this point and there at that point." Then After Effects is kind of like our grunt servant animator that goes in and creates all the frames in between. Now if you are brand-new to After Effects, this concept may seen a little unusual, but trust me by the end of this chapter even, you'll be feeling so solid and secure in this information that it'll no longer seem like some weird theory. It's just amazing. Again, a few chapters down the road, we are going to get into effects, and you'll see that we animate effects in the same way. If you're going to make a lightning bolt, you animate it in the exact the same way with this whole stopwatch deal.
So, it all works to same. You learn this one concept of After Effects - it's almost like you are now familiar with the entire program at once. So, phenomenal. I just love it. So, let's back up a little bit. And we'll talk little bit more animating opacities, specifically, in the next movie.

Encouraging findings from a pilot clinical trial add more evidence that omega-3s boost brain function in people suffering from mild mental decline.
The results flowed from a group of volunteers diagnosed either with Alzheimers disease or with "age-related cognitive decline or ARCD (garden variety senility).
And they fit with the implications of a concise evidence review published last year by researchers from Quebecs Laval University.
The Quebec team paid particular attention to DHA: the omega-3 that constitutes a large proportion of the fatty acids in brain cell membranes and is essential to proper brain function.
Along with EPA, brainy DHA is one of the two key omega-3s in human cells, with fish and fish oil being the only substantial food sources.
Key Points
As the Canadians wrote, experimental studies show that rodents bred to develop Alzheimers-like conditions easily are more likely to do so when their bodies are deficient in DHA.
Likewise, most lab studies show that rodents fed more DHA acquire fewer, milder signs and symptoms of Alzheimers, and get them more slowly.
Plus, a strong preponderance of the published epidemiological (population) studies indicate that people who report eating diets high in DHAfrom fish and/or fish oilare less likely to develop Alzheimers disease and other forms of senility (Calon F, Cole G 2007).
The Quebecois cited these facts in explaining their conclusion: "the knowledge gathered in recent years holds out a hope for prevention and suggests that the elderly and people bearing a genetic risk for Alzheimers disease should at least avoid DHA deficiency (Calon F, Cole G).
We should note, as they did, that the results of the few, mostly small and short-term clinical studies done to date do not show that fish or supplemental omega-3s improve behavior or test scores in Alzheimers or ARCD patients, once senility progresses past its earlier, milder stages.
The Canadians encouraging words echo ones from a Swedish teams 2006 report on a clinical trial that showed reduced agitation among some Alzheimers patients who took omega-3 fish oil:
"Combined data from epidemiologic [population-and-diet] studies point to preventive effects from long-term fish intake. Those results and the results from the present study support the idea that omega-3 fatty acids have a role in primary prevention of Alzheimers disease... (Freund-Levi Y et al. 2006; see "Omega-3 DHA Alleviates Agitation in Early-Onset Alzheimers).
As the Canadians reported, there are multiple, plausible mechanisms by which DHA could reduce the risk of Alzheimers diseaseand its close cousin, ARCDwhose overlapping symptoms include progressive memory loss and deepening dementia.
The potentially brain-protective effects of DHA include its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and its beneficial influence on critical cell signaling pathways and genetic "switches (e.g., Nf-KappaB and PPARs).
For more on omega-3s and brain agingincluding genetic variations in the brain benefits of DHAsee "Dementia Danger Slashed by Brainy Marine Omega-3, "Fish Oil May Halt Memory Decline in Alzheimer's, and "Omega-3s May Help Prevent Brain Plaque.
Taiwanese study supports omega-3s for mild senility
Todays news comes from researchers at Taipei Medical University, who conducted a small clinical trial designed to test the short-term effects of omega-3s in people with cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer's disease (Chiu CC et al. 2008).
The 24-week trial involved 23 participants with mild or moderate Alzheimer's disease and 23 with mild cognitive impairment. It met the highest standards of rigor, being randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled.
The volunteers were randomized to receive either 1.8 grams of omega-3s (EPA+DHA) per day or a placebo (olive oil).
Three-quarters of the patients (35) made it to at least one post-treatment examination, during which their mental states were examined using standard tests: the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Scale (CIBIC-plus), and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-cog).
Compared with the placebo group, people from the fish oil group showed more improvement on the CIBIC-plus test.
In contrast, there was no significant difference between the fish oil and placebo groups in the cognitive portion of the ADAS-cog test scores.
However, among participants with mild cognitive impairment, the fish oil group showed significant improvement compared to the placebo group. This improvement was not seen in those with Alzheimer's disease.
And the patients who showed higher proportions of omega-3s in their red blood cells had better cognitive outcomes. This confirmed that the omega-3s in the fish oil made the difference.
Given these findings and others, it seems safe to say that omega-3s are an essential tool in the fight to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers disease or ARCD, and reducing the severity of either form of senility.
How much omega-3?
The Canadians' advice to avoid DHA deficiencywith ample intake being the real goalbegs a key question: "How much omega-3 is enough?
The volunteers in past clinical trials and the one we report on below took pretty high doses, to get their blood levels up quickly. But lower doses will produce the high blood levels, if sustained over a longer period than the few months of most trials.
Senility is driven by many of the same factors underlying cardiovascular disease, and omega-3s hold brain-boosting promise for many of the same reasons.
Hence, it makes sense to look to cardiovascular health advice on omega-3s for dosage guidance with regard to dementia deterrence.
For leading scientists suggestions on doses of omega-3s suitable for cardiovascular prevention, see "How Much Omega-3s Should I Take? Pointers from Two Expert Panels and "Omega-3s Yield Heart-Saving Effects Even in Small Amounts.
And leading heart researchers point to evidence that the risk of sudden cardiac death drops substantially when omega-3s constitute at least 8 percent of the fatty acids in peoples red blood cells (erythrocytes).
This suggests a real need to test omega-3 blood levels to help ensure achievement of adequate ones.
We addressed this topic in "Mayo Clinic Report Affirms Omega-3s Heart Benefits. As described there, William Harris, Ph.D., notes that the percentage of omega-3s in red blood cells predicts a persons risk of sudden cardiac death as well or better than conventional measures such as cholesterol or triglyceride levels (Harris WS 2008):
- Less than 4 percent omega-3s = High risk
- 4-8 percent omega-3s = Intermediate risk
- More than 8 percent omega-3s = Low risk
But routine assessment of what Dr. Harris calls the "omega-3 index will not become a routine part of annual physicals and examination of heart patients until two criteria are met:
1. The value of measuring peoples "omega-3 index becomes widely accepted.
2. Standardized test methods and materials become available in all medical labs and hospitals.
If and when that happens, we'll report it here.
In the meantime, eat plenty of fish and take regular fish oil supplements, checking with a nutrition-savvy physician about fish oil first, if you are pregnant or have a serious health condition.

VAN WYCK – J.R. Wilt, 73, has announced his candidacy for the reshaped Lancaster County District 1 school board seat.
The new District 1 includes Van Wyck, where Wilt lives.
The seat is open as a result of redistricting, which split the Panhandle into two districts. By law, school districts must follow the same lines as County Council districts.
Don McCorkle, current District 1 school trustee, lives in what will be the new District 7 and will continue to represent that district until his term expires in 2014.
An Indian Land mother has filed a civil rights complaint against the Lancaster County School District alleging racism by school officials at Indian Land high and middle schools.
In a report that aired Wednesday on WBTV, Krisma Gregory, who is black, said the unfair punishments meted out by school officials in two separate incidents involving her sons were racially motivated.
There's no two ways about it. If you missed this year's second annual University of South Carolina Lancaster Soul Food Cook-Off on Wednesday, you missed out.
The 2012 event was even bigger and better than last year's inaugural event, drawing about 400 people to the university's Bradley Multi-purpose Room. Eager diners were welcomed by the smell of down-home cooking so thick you could almost taste it in the air.
And all for a good cause: the USCL Emergency Textbook Fund for students in financial need.
Two Lancaster County students are among the 10 finalists who will compete Saturday at the annual Poetry Out Loud state competition sponsored by the S.C. Arts Commission.
Robert Massey of Andrew Jackson High School and Raina Hill of Buford High School advanced from classroom to school-wide to regional contests to compete for South Carolina's spot in the national finals, which will be held May 13-15 in Washington, D.C., and a shot at a $20,000 scholarship. More than 4,000 South Carolina students competed this year.

High School senior Rachel Joy Scott knew she was going to die young.
And she did, shot to death on April 20, 1999 as she sat outside on the lawn at school eating lunch with a friend – the first victim of the tragic Columbine High School massacre.
That Rachel had such a premonition came as no surprise to those who knew her, she'd often talked about how she just knew it, how she accepted it as fact.
Indian Land High School Principal Kathy Faris unexpectedly announced Thursday she is giving up her position at the end of the month, a position she has held five years.
Faris' announcement came in a resignation letter sent to faculty and staff Thursday, a little more than a month before students return to school Aug. 15.
Five local teens put their heads together this spring to express why they think libraries are essential and won $2,000 for the Del Webb Library at Indian Land in a national video contest.
The group – Samantha Hoelzer, Kendall Lierz, Lewis Lindsey, Lindsey Scott, and Ryan Scott – produced a short silent film featuring Sherlock Holmes to win first runner-up in the American Library Association's "Why I Need My Library" teen video contest.
Adam Hegler isn't exactly what you'd call a career student, even though he's been at it steady since he graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 2002.
No, in fact, Hegler is finally done with his higher learning – almost – and all those years of hard work and good study habits are paying off.
Not only did the 26-year-old Kershaw native graduate magna cum laude May 6 from the University of South Carolina School of Law, he did so with an estimated 3.91 grade-point average, the highest in his class.
LHS student joins national honor society
Lancaster High School student Austin Franceschelli of Lancaster has been selected for membership in the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS).
The society recognizes top scholars and invites only those students who achieved academic excellence. The announcement was made by NSHSS Founder and Chairman Claes Nobel, a senior member of the family that established the Nobel Prizes.

Resurgent interest in real estate leads to quickening pace of auctions
MARIETTA, Ga. (July 18, 2011) -- When construction ground to a halt during the recession and credit crisis, demand for subdivision home sites evaporated. And with people worried about their jobs, demand dropped sharply for discretionary properties such as waterfront and recreational land. But now, those are among the properties attracting more interest in real estate auctions, and Atlanta-area auctioneer John Dixon believes that may be a good sign for the economy.
"Lenders held onto foreclosed real estate for a while, until they were confident the bidders would be there, but now they're bringing more supply to the market, which is good for everybody," said Dixon. John Dixon & Associates sold approximately $30 million in the past month, he said.
During the first six months of 2011, John Dixon Associates sold 145 homes, 2,300 home sites, 104 commercial/industrial properties and 70 land/acreage properties -- most of it for banks and the FDIC. "All of these properties are back in the productive economy, where they can provide opportunities for people and once again generate tax revenues," he said.
"Homes that are sitting empty are just hurting property values of those around them. Empty stores and restaurants are a dead weight around the economy's neck. And they all sap the attention and resources of the lenders. So an increase in the number of auctions -- and the people bidding at them -- can only be positive for the economy as a whole," said Dixon.
Some banks now have not only properties on which they have foreclosed, but also properties they have acquired through the purchase of failing banks from the FDIC. "This can result in even larger backlog of unsold real estate owned by the lender, so our ability to move 100 properties or more in a single auction can be very attractive to them," said Dixon.

Barbara Mikulski on Foreign Policy
Democratic Sr Senator (MD)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. HOWARD BERMAN (D, CA-28): Integrating India into a global nonproliferation regime is a positive step. Before anyone gets too sanctimonious about India's nuclear weapons program, we should acknowledge that the five recognized nuclear weapons states have not done nearly enough to fulfill their commitments under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, including making serious reductions in their own arsenals, nor in the case of the US in ratifying the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. BARBARA LEE (D, CA-9): In withholding my approval, I seek not to penalize the people of India but, rather, to affirm the principle of nuclear nonproliferation. Jettisoning adherence to the international nuclear nonproliferation framework that has served the world so well for more than 30 years, as approval of the agreement before us would do, is just simply unwise. It is also reckless.
Approval of this agreement undermines our efforts to dissuade countries like Iran and North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. By approving this agreement, all we are doing is creating incentives for other countries to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
The overall funding provided by H.R. 2606 is inadequate. By denying America a decent investment in diplomacy, this bill suggests we should meet threats to our security with our military might alone. That is a dangerous proposition. For if we underfund our diplomacy, we will end up overusing our military.
For example, A generation from now, no one is going to say we did too much to help the nations of the former Soviet Union safeguard their nuclear technology and expertise. If the funding cuts in this bill were to become law, future generations would certainly say we did too little and that we imperiled our future in the process.
Status: Conf Rpt Agreed to Y)51; N)49
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. OBAMA: There is a country embroiled in conflict that has not yet received the high-level attention or resources it needs. It's the Democratic Republic of Congo, and right now it is in the midst of a humanitarian catastrophe.
31,000 people are dying in the Congo each month and 3.8 million people have died in the previous 6 years. The country, which is the size of Western Europe, lies at the geographic heart of Africa and borders every major region across the continent. If left untended, Congo's tragedy will continue to infect Africa.
I believe that the United States can make a profound difference in this crisis. According to international aid agencies, there are innumerable cost-effective interventions that could be quickly undertaken--such as the provision of basic medical care, immunization and clean water--that could save thousands of lives. On the political front, sustained U.S. leadership could fill a perilous vacuum.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Became Public Law No. 109-456
A bill to impose sanctions on officials of the State Peace and Development Council in Burma, to prohibit the importation of gemstones and hardwoods from Burma, & to promote a coordinated international effort to restore civilian democratic rule to Burma.
(The two Senate versions currently differ in wording). The Saffron Revolution Support Act states that it is U.S. policy to:
Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. McCAIN. The world has reacted with horror and revulsion at the Burmese junta's recent brutal crackdown against peaceful demonstrators. In crushing the Saffron Revolution, killing hundreds and jailing thousands, including countless Buddhist monks, the junta has left no doubt about its blatant disregard for basic human decency. We, as Americans, stand on the side of freedom, not fear; of peace, not violence; and of the millions in Burma who aspire to a better life, not those who would keep them isolated and oppressed. Our response must go beyond statements of condemnation, and the time to act is now. This legislation imposes meaningful and effective punitive action against the cruel, thuggish, and illegitimate Burmese government.
The Arab American Institute has compiled a Scorecard to catalogue the voting record of the 112th Congress on issues of importance to the Arab American community. Though not comprehensive, we have attempted to provide a snapshot of legislation concerning many of the primary issues concerning Arab Americans. For the Senate, we have included 10 items: two bills on the Arab Spring, three on Palestine, one on Lebanon, one regarding civil liberties, and two for immigration reform.
Expresses the sense of Congress that:
White House Summary of NAP, December 2011:The goal of this National Action Plan is as simple as it is profound: to empower half the world's population as equal partners in preventing conflict and building peace in countries threatened and affected by war, violence, and insecurity. Deadly conflicts can be more effectively avoided, and peace can be best forged and sustained, when women become equal partners. The National Action Plan is guided by the following five principles:
RESOLUTION expressing vigorous support and unwavering commitment to the welfare, security, and survival of the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state with secure borders:
A resolution calling on the United States Government and the international community to promptly develop, fund, and implement a comprehensive regional strategy in Africa to protect civilians, facilitate humanitarian operations, contain and reduce violence, and contribute to conditions for sustainable peace in eastern Chad, northern Central African Republic, and Darfur, Sudan.

Former presidential candidate Rick
Santorum has weighed in on a controversial bill vetoed by Arizona
Governor Jan Brewer.
Opponents of the bill said that it
would have allowed individuals and businesses to discriminate against
gay men and lesbians based on their religious beliefs.
Proponents of the bill denied the
claim, mostly arguing that it was needed to protect people from being
forced to violate their religious convictions. But examples cited
generally revolved around business owners who refused to serve gay
In an interview with the National
Review filmed a few weeks ago at CPAC, host Patrick Brennan asked
Santorum about the importance of religious liberty.
"I think it's a critical issue,"
Santorum responded. "Of all of the rights, the trunk upon which
all other branches of rights flow from is freedom of conscience. If
you don't have freedom of conscience, then freedom of speech doesn't
mean very much."
Brennan noted that prominent
Republicans such as Mitt Romney and Arizona Senator John McCain were
opposed to the proposed legislation, then asked, "Would you have
voted for it?"
"Absolutely," Santorum immediately
answered. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit

Curricular Practical Training for Students on an F-1 Student Visa
What is Curricular Practical Training?
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) is a type of off-campus employment* authorization
that enables international students in F-1 visa status to take part in an internship, field placement, practicum, or work experience that is integral to their curriculum.
*Please note that the USCIS defines "employment" as any type of service for which a benefit, including academic credit, is received. Therefore, even if you will not be getting paid for your internship, you should obtain CPT authorization.
What type of service / employment qualifies for CPT?
At Concord University, we use the following criteria to determine whether your proposed employment qualifies for CPT authorization:
- It is an internship, practicum, field placement or other type of employment that is required for your degree, or is a necessary component of the field of study or concentration that you have chosen within your major.
- It is taken for academic credit toward the degree.
- You will be registered for the appropriate course and credits in the semester during which the employment will occur. Note: Summer registration is required for summer internships.
What if my department does not offer an internship, or practicum?
If your department does not offer an internship or practicum, then you may not be able to pursue this type of employment. Because CPT is directly linked to the curriculum of your department, not every F-1 student at Concord University will have the opportunity to utilize CPT. In cases where you will not be getting credit, or you will simply be gaining experience in your field, you should apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) instead.
Who is eligible for CPT?
To be eligible for Curricular Practical Training, you must document, in addition to the conditions stated above, that:
- You are currently in valid F-1 status AND
- You have been in lawful status and a full-time student for at least one academic year (two semesters)** AND
- You have a job offer for an internship from a specific employer with established beginning and ending dates.
Can my CPT be full-time or part-time?
- Part-time Curricular Practical Training involves up to 20 hours of work per week.
- Full-time Curricular Practical Training involves more than 20 hours of work per week. This is only an option: during the summer or during school breaks
How long can I use CPT?
Since few academic programs at Concord University require more than one or two semesters of work experience, most students will be eligible for only one or two semesters of CPT.
CPT will not be authorized in situations where Optional Practical Training is more appropriate or for work to be done after completion of your degree requirements.
Note: If you are authorized for 12 or more months of full-time CPT, you lose your eligibility for post-completion Optional Practical Training. Any part-time CPT does not affect your eligibility for OPT.
How do I apply for CPT?
To apply for Curricular Practical Training, submit the following to your international student advisor, Nancy Ellison:
- A photocopy of your current I-20 and all previous I-20's
- Academic Advisor's Recommendation Letter
- This letter must include complete details of your internship including the number of credit hours you will earn, the name of the employer, job title, dates of employment, number of hours of work per week, place of employment and a brief description of work. If the letter is incomplete or inaccurate, you will be asked to provide a new one.
- Proof of registration for your CPT credits
How long will it take to process my CPT application?
If CPT is approved, your international student advisor will update your information in SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) and print a new I-20, endorsed with your Curricular Practical Training authorization.
When can I start my off-campus internship / field placement?
You cannot begin working until you receive the Curricular Practical Training endorsement on your I-20. CPT is only valid for the period between the beginning and ending dates endorsed on the form I-20. Retroactive authorizations will not be granted. Any work that takes place outside the CPT approval dates is unauthorized employment.
May I change employers while on CPT?
No, CPT (unlike OPT) is employer-specific. Separate applications for CPT are required if you want to work for different employers. Likewise, if you want to extend your CPT employment period, you will need to submit another application.
What if I want to extend my internship and my CPT?
When authorized for CPT, you are permitted to work only from the specified beginning date through the specified ending date. If you need to extend your employment authorization, you will need to submit another CPT application. Please keep processing times in mind and submit your application to extend your CPT in a timely manner. Please also keep in mind that extensions of CPT are not guaranteed.

Solar Power Leaders Launch Group to Grow U.S. Markets
Leaders from the solar power industry launched a new group, "Americans for Solar Power - PV Manufacturers Alliance," on March 1st at the Power-Gen Renewable Energy Conference. The new alliance aims to establish thriving, sustainable mainstream markets for cost-effective distributed solar power, through policy and regulatory initiatives that lead to robust market growth. The alliance, based in Arizona, is dedicated to helping the United States achieve an annual 1-gigawatt market for distributed solar power by 2010. See the press release on the Americans for Solar Power Web site.
A study released by the Energy Foundation on March 1st finds a price breakthrough would be one route to huge growth in U.S. solar power markets. The study, prepared by Navigant Consulting, Inc., concludes that a price of $2 to $2.50 per installed watt for grid-connected solar photovoltaic rooftops could yield a U.S. market of 2.9 gigawatts per year by 2010, nearly three times the alliance's goal. See the Energy Foundation press release (PDF 135 KB) or go directly to the full report (PDF 2.0 MB). Download Acrobat Reader.
A less encouraging report from the Business Communications Company, Inc. (BCC) predicts that the worldwide market for photovoltaic devices will grow from 973.1 megawatts in 2004 to 1,778 megawatts (or about 1.8 gigawatts) in 2009. If foreign markets continue to be larger than U.S. markets, that would make it difficult to create a 1-gigawatt U.S. market by 2010. In a related report from DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA), a comparison of renewable energy policies in the United States and four other countries concludes that many U.S. policies are enacted at the state level and may not be synchronized with federal policies, which themselves are subject to periodic reauthorization or appropriations legislation. In contrast, policies to promote renewable energy in Germany, Denmark, and Japan have tended to be coordinated and consistent, thereby helping to build significant renewable energy markets in those countries. See the BCC press release and the EIA report.

Don't saddle DISD super Mike Miles with race pressures
Re: "Activist says DISD cabinet lacks diversity — Callejo requests meeting with chief Miles after 4 of 7 named," Wednesday Metro story.
Same old song, different verse. Superintendent Mike Miles is already fighting an uphill battle.
Dallas Hispanic civil rights activist Adelfa Callejo asks, "How can Miles ignore 70 percent of the student population?" It is painfully clear that past attempts to diversify the DISD administration, based on the racial makeup of the district, have never lived up to expectations. Miles' selection process focuses on candidates' experience and skills, not their race or gender, and should not be questioned.
Hopefully, Miles won't bow to Callejo's demands. If the Dallas Hispanic community is really serious about educating their children, let Miles do his job.

A failed political revolution that led to an enduring cultural revolution? A disastrous attack on ethical values in the name of drugs, free love and violence? The events of 1968 in cities across Europe have been represented in sharply contrasting narratives.
Funded by a major grant from the AHRC, a project based in Oxford's Modern European History Research Centre (MEHRC) is considering 1968 as a historic moment between postwar austerity and the Thatcher-Reagan years. Its guiding themes are transnationalism and subjectivity: tracing the links between activists in different parts of Europe and collecting oral testimony which both models and subverts existing narratives.
Histories of 1968 have hitherto concentrated on the epicentres of revolt in the democracies of France, West Germany and Italy, together with the United States. This project explores activism not only in the democracies (including Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands) but also in the dictatorships of southern Europe (Franco's Spain, the Greece of the Colonels) and in the Communist dictatorships beyond the Iron Curtain (the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and the USSR). It will examine whether there was a common European '68 or conflicting experiences, misunderstandings and time-lags between radical activity in different parts of Europe, and explore transnational links between European activists.
Conventionally, thinking about 1968 has been subsumed under one of two 'grand narratives': one that activism progressed from the political to the cultural, the other that it moved from youth culture to politics, from hedonism to Leninism. In this project the unit of analysis will be the network as spun by activists engaged in a variety of forms of activism: political, religious and those experimenting with artistic forms and alternative forms of living; violent and non-violent; tackling questions of gender and the relationship between intellectuals and workers. The project is undertaking life-history interviews with former activists belonging to these networks in order to explore how far their accounts reflect the dominant narratives and how far they challenge and subvert familiar stories.
The project is being undertaken by an International team of historians fourteen strong. These are:
The project has hugely benefited from the advice of Professor Shelia Rowbotham, Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester, former activist and acclaimed author of Promise of a Dream (2000).
The researchers have met in three annual workshops, separately funded by the Leverhulme Trust – Oxford in 2007, Roskilde in 2008 and Prague in 2009. A fourth workshop took place in Madrid in 2010. The project is publishing a series of articles in a special number of Cultural and Social History and will bring out a book, with Oxford University Press, revolving around the themes of becoming an activist, being an activist, and making sense of activism.
A major legacy of the project is a database of activists and networks containing the sound files of several hundred interviews, transcriptions and (funding permitting) translations. These will be available to future historians of 1968 via the MDID archive system.

This column begins a series on promoting your e-commerce website. Let's ease into the world of advertising by dealing first with the offline advertising you're already familiar with: print, direct mail, sponsorships, etc.
Promote Your URL
Make sure your site's URL is slapped on all ads and on anything your customers see or take away from you. As you get your head around the idea of offline advertising for your online business, you'll begin to realize why you should have chosen a URL that's short and easy to remember. No one wants to have to write down or remember www.crazybobsmotorworldpartsemporiumsuperstore.com. Not only that, it's not going to fit on a bumper sticker!
In advertising, your URL is one of the most important things that you need to communicate. I even would go so far as to say that it's more important for people to remember your URL than your company name. Of course if your company name is something like Buy.com or Amazon.com, they are one and the same.
Broaden Your Reach
Regardless of how much advertising and marketing you're used to doing in your local market, start thinking on a national or even global level now that you're online. Figure out how to leverage your advertising budget so that you can advertise in national publications. Learn how to communicate a unique selling proposition or call to action in your print ads to get readers to enter your URL into their web browser to see what you're all about.
Think about how to advertise and communicate to other regions. For example, if your dealership is in the Northeast, and there's not a lot of riding going on during a month like March, think about shifting your promotional dollars to advertise in a publication that has a concentrated distribution in the Southwest or the South. That's one of the great things about running an online business in our industry: You can use the global reach to help hedge against seasonal fluctuations in your local business.
Keeping Tabs
As with all advertising, it's a good idea to track the effectiveness of your offline advertising. You can often offer a deal in the advertisement if they visit a special URL or "landing page."
The landing page is different from how people normally get to your site. In fact, you want this page not to be indexed in any search engines or known anywhere else so that you can be sure that anyone hitting it had to come from your offline ad.
For example, if your main address is www.soopermotoparts.com, you could register another domain like www.soopermotopartsdeals.com. You advertise this secondary address, and all traffic to www.soopermotopartsdeals.com would be redirected to your main site.
The trick is that your server can keep track of the number of hits to the secondary domain during your advertising campaign to judge its effectiveness.
You can also do this by creating a special page on your main site like www.soopermotoparts.com/specialpage.html and advertise that address. This can often fail, however, because a lot of people will just type the main domain, and you'll lose visibility. You see big companies doing this a lot. Check out Dell's ad next time on TV, and you'll probably see something like www.dell.com/tvoffer.
Don't get too hung up on this because the measurement is not foolproof. Use it mainly as a go/nogo gauge for broad campaigns or to measure the response rate in a new publication to determine whether it's worth continuing.
Next month: the trials and tribulations of e-mail marketing.

I pushed myself to the limit in Pilates today. Great feeling, but sooooo hard.
Lie faceup, legs together, toes pointed, arms extended to ceiling, palms forward. Inhale, then engage abs and exhale as you slowly roll up one vertebra at a time until seated, arms parallel to shins. Inhale; exhale as you slowly roll back to start. Do 10 times.
(You'll need an 8-10 inch soft sports ball) Sit with knees bent, squeezing ball between feet. Tilt torso back 45 degrees, arms behind for support. Maintain tilt as you extend legs out at a 45-degree angle. With abs contracted, make a wide, clockwise circle with legs. Return to center. Do five reps. Switch direction and do five more.
Stand with feet hip-width apart, holding weight just below chest, elbows bent. Step forward with your left leg into a basic lunge position, left thigh parallel to the ground, knee behind toes. Hold abs tight, rotate upper body to the left 90 degrees, back straight. Rotate back to center. Push off left heel, and return to start position. Repeat for 12 reps. Switch sides. Aim for 3 sets of 12.

Matthew and I have not worked very hard at hiding the fact that we are running iOS 5 Beta on our iPhones. We have published more than one post on the topic. This post was prompted by a post on TUAW stating that people who are not developers shouldn't run beta versions of iOS. Matthew and I are not developers but have signed up under developer accounts. The TUAW post brought to attention a major issue happening with people running beta versions of iOS and not understanding that things could go wrong.
Things about iOS Beta you need to understand
Old Versions of Beta Have An Expiration Date
As of this post, the current iteration of iOS5 Beta is Beta 5. Versions of beta have an expiration date. If you have a beta version of iOS and have not upgraded it to the most recent beta release, your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch will eventually reset itself and boot to the iOS 5 "Slide to Setup" screen. If you've jumped on the iOS Beta train… make sure to advance to the new release cars because the old ones fall off the back!
Apple's Beta Software Really is Beta
Sometimes you'll hear the tern beta on the end of products that have gone mainstream and have done very well (Gmail). But Apple's iOS Beta software really is more of an Alpha release. It's full of bugs and tends to crash often. App compatibility has been an issue as well as many app developers are still working updates. If you're using an app and it doesn't work properly for you… don't complain. You are the one that installed iOS Beta.
When these apps crash because the user is running iOS Beta, people will sometimes go into the app store and give a bad review for the app. These types of reviews have a negative effect on the developer's bottom line because many people base their app buying decisions on reviews. If an app has a string of negative reviews due to iOS Beta compatibility issues, it might convince someone to pass on buying the app.
So if you are okay with your iDevice operating with some glitches for a few months… go ahead and run iOS Beta. I am… and I'm okay with it. Sure it frustrates me from time to time. But I understand why it's happening.
Have you complained about iOS Beta?

Posted to RMP in early 1996:
12/31/95 Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
You've seen the reviews. The PYITE Sloth opener was the first in history, and was better than any dream opener I could have imagined. Reba was fiery with non-stop action from Trey; a great version, up here with my favorites (Lowell, Ween 94, Deer Creek..). Mockingbird had some glaring mistakes from Trey (if they played this more often he wouldn't have as much trouble ... ;^), but I was still psyched to hear it (Shine was very amusing, but I think I would rather have heard Icculus... w/ Tom Marshal! ;-). Sparkle Chalk was average, and a frighteningly simple close to an otherwise **SICK** setlist.
The Drowned > Jam > Lizards to open the second set was AWE-INSPIRING, and must be heard at all costs. We were hosed, frankly, throughout sets two and three of this show. There were/are Fire on the Mountain teases in the JAM preceding Lizards (listen to the tapes, you can't miss them.. one is more subtle than the other, but the second tease is strong as hell and occurs roughly 15 seconds or so before Trey starts playin' Lizards, and right when Fish drops the groove into a Fire-esque beat). Drowned was for me a dream come true, since it was the song I most wanted to hear brought back from Quadrophenia... and it was jammed out severely!! Runaway Jim was actually a Runaway JAM... it was about 16 minutes long, and is without question my favorite version ever. I was at Walnut Creek last summer, and this Jim is just more exciting and rockin' than that somewhat spacey 6/16 version.
The Mike's Song to close the set was the best version I've ever heard (I own about 140 versions), but I'm anxious to hear Hershey (at least I think it is Hershey at which a great MikeS was allegedly performed). The MikeS has some truly great grooves in it (no bullshit tramps dissonant jam), incl. a Dave's Energy Guide-like groove (briefly), and it was topped with a mellowing digital delay loop JAM from Trey, reminiscent of Bomb Factory, the Bozeman Tweezer, the Providence Bowie, and the opening of Maze at NYE last year (you know, the digital delay loop jam...). Very gentle close to an insane set of Phish.
The third and final set also witnessed some ferocious jamming, particularly in Weekapaug, YEM and JBG. Weekapaug was arguably the best version I've ever heard -- just sick, non-stop jams... no spacey or dissonant experimentation. It was also twice as long as the average Weekapaug (well, maybe not twice as long as average 1994-95 Weekapaug), at about 13 minutes, and it segued magnificently into Sea and Sand. YEM was very good, with some serious Oye Como Va jamming at times from Page and Trey especially (this is not uncommon, of course, but doesn't usually occur with the same degree of intensity as it did in this version). I can think of many YEMs that are comparable to this version in their gloriousness... it was still an excellent, above average YEM.
Sanity was the first since the Murat in June 94, and was quite a treat. I had forgotten at the time that they had played Sanity twice in '94, and thought it had been the first since '92 (oh well). It was a remarkably fun version, though, and you could tell that the band enjoyed playing it. Frankenstein was typical, albeit a killer closer. The JBG (E) was the best version Phish has played. I've been lucky to have heard *live* all of the JBGs that Phish has done, and this version certainly cleaned up.
12/31 was the best Phish show, next to 10/31/94, that I've ever seen live, and certainly one of the best Phish shows that I've heard. I cannot recommend it enough -- but get the whole show, for Icculus' sake, and don't pick and choose sets like a tyro. The show as a whole needs to be listened to and admired. For those of you who didn't make it, I am sorry, but you'll get it on tape (and you were thought of). The band was playing for its die-hards on 12/31, wherever they may have been at the time. Anyone afraid of improvisation and jamming should stay the fuck away from this show!
Best wishes to all, and thanks to Phish, for making this NYE run the best run of four shows -- Dead or Phish -- that many of us had ever seen!!
And here's my two cents on this show as published in The Phish Companion:
12/31/95 Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Charlie Dirksen, San Francisco, CA
1995 had been the most improvisationally thrilling year of Phishtory, and everyone was excited pre-show about what was to come. How could the band top the Gin -> Real Me -> Gin from 12/29, or the 12/28 Tweezer, not to mention numerous jams from the Fall tour? Few if any predicted that this New Year's show would -- even years later be glowingly referred to by Phish fans as one of the best Phish shows ever performed.
The PYITE Sloth opener was the first in history, and was better than any dream opener I could have imagined at the time. Reba was fiery with non-stop action from Trey. A great version, up there with fan favorites like Lowell and 'ween 94. Mockingbird had some glaring mistakes from Trey (if he only played this more often...), but everyone seemed just as psyched to hear it as I was. Shine was hysterical, and I'm glad that The Tom Marshall New Year's Run Tradition continued. Sparkle and Chalk Dust pleased the crowd even more, and ended the first set powerfully.
The Drowned -> Lizards to open the second set was AWE-INSPIRING, and must be heard to be believed (along with the "Fire on the Mountain" tease, which occurs within forty seconds of Lizards' first notes). Drowned was for me a dream come true, since it was the song I most wanted to hear brought back from Quadrophenia. It was passionately and melodiously jammed out, and is still, to this day, a version to hear at all costs. Runaway Jim was actually a Runaway JAM. It was about 16 minutes long, and was the most spectacular version I'd heard since Walnut Creek 6/16, when they first took Jim for an experimental run. The Mike's Song to close the set contains some of Phish's most brilliant improvisation to date. It also closed with a mellowing digital delay loop jam. A very serene end to an enchanting set of Phish. People were awe-struck by what they'd witnessed, and almost afraid of what was to come.
After some Gamehendge Time Lab frolicking, Weekapaug segued raucously out of Auld Lang Syne, starting 1996 out on a GREAT note. The Weekapaug went from the high-energy, mellifluous soloing we all know and love into an improvisation so spine-tinglingly good that itcharmed people into thinking that it was composed. This jam segued beautifully into a gorgeous Sea and Sand, masterfully sung by Page.
YEM contained a haunting, mesmerizing jam segment, which to this day commands respect. Sanity was the first version since June '94, and was quite a treat (the band seemed to enjoy it as much as the audience!).
Frankenstein was an appropriate close to a frighteningly awesome show. At this point, I couldn't have cared less whether Phish played an encore. But they came out and buffalo-billed Johnny B. Goode, taking him for strong and performing a version that is still very compelling.
The glorious improvisation at this show profoundly affected thousands of lives, including those of the band. What we believed would be a once in a lifetime experience, though, soon proved to be simply another exalted show in the career of one of rock history's greatest bands.
