Voice: John P. Cuddeback, Flushing
The editorial cartoon in the Feb. 25 Flint Journal painfully states the truth when discussing the economic situation facing us today. A public sector union worker painfully expresses that, "They're trying to cut our pensions," while a private sector worker asks, "What's a pension?"
It is important to clarify a number of facts that are often not printed and rarely discussed.
1. Collective bargaining is not a "right." It is a special privilege granted by different levels of government within our Republic. We elect officials in a democratic process. But democracy does not protect our individual rights. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the foundation of this nation. Too often, majority rule becomes mob rule in democracies lacking our established rule of law.
2. When a public sector union dictates the hours, the compensation and conditions under which they will carry on essential services, they obstruct the sovereignty of the public they serve.
3. The Salary Reform Act of 1962 established "comparability" for the public sector with the private sector. While the private sector lost 13 percent in total compensation between 2000 and 2009, state and local government employees' compensation grew 19 percent.
4. Rising benefits, poor markets and low contribution levels have made for a considerable shortfall in funding for public sector workers which taxpayers are obligated to make up and be taxed to pay for.
5. Bloated public sector contracts threaten to bankrupt several states including Michigan. We must decide if we will tolerate becoming defenseless at the hands of public sector union bosses.
Government by public sector union bosses has created an elite body of employees and an economic cancer to the body of true representative government. Our future depends on major changes being made to ensure that government provides the essential services it was created for.

• We used structured diagnostic interviews and rating scales to assess lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders, by DSM-III criteria, among an unselected sample of 56 ambulatory homosexual men in four groups: men with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), men with AIDS-related complex (ARC), men asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic but seropositive for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and HIV-seronegative men. An age- and demographically matched comparison group of 22 healthy, heterosexual controls was also studied. The homosexual men had lifetime rates of alcohol or nonopiate drug abuse (22/56 [39.3%]), generalized anxiety disorder (22/56 [39.3%]), and major depression (17/56 [30.3%]) that often preceded diagnosed medical illness or knowledge of HIV status. The six-month point prevalence of these disorders in homosexual men was also high, especially alcohol abuse in patients with AIDS-related complex, and the occurrence of a DSM-III disorder within the previous six months significantly exceeded that in heterosexual controls. The data suggest that there may be a higher prevalence of anxiety disorder and major depressive illness in homosexual men when compared with sociodemographically matched heterosexual men and that the psychiatric morbidity may have preceded the onset of the AIDS epidemic. These findings indicate that awareness of psychiatric history is necessary to comprehensive medical care of men at high risk for AIDS, even among relatively healthy outpatients.

During the weeks before U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans died at the hands of terrorists in Libya, the ambassador warned of the increasing danger from Islamic militants.
Yet the State Department pulled security forces out of Libya.
After the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya was attacked on Sept. 11, President Barack Obama insisted the deaths were at the hands of an unorganized mob infuriated by a video, produced by a California man, that was critical of the prophet Muhammed.
Within hours after Stevens died, it was clear the attack was an organized one, including weapons no mob of angry Libyans would have been carrying.
What happened was clear to Libyan President Mohammed Magarief, who said it was obvious the assault was a terrorist attack. Magarief also noted the video in question had been in circulation for months before Sept. 11, with no mob violence among Libyans.
And we found out this past week that there was real-time, e-mail intelligence going to the Defense Department telling those in charge of the attack as it was happening.
It seems almost inconceivable that our president didn't know of the circumstances of those deaths and that the attack was very much a terrorist event on Sept. 11, even as he flew to Nevada for a campaign stop.
The White House was inept, deceitful and possibly both in its handling of the Libyan Embassy attacks.
Remember, four Americans, including an ambassador, were killed.
And the immediate spin from the Obama administration was that a Youtube video in circulation for three months was the cause. And, of course, these pronouncements came with an observation that this is what happens when Muslim sensibilities are offended.
How about American sensibilities?
How about the blatant ignoring of the pleas of embassy personnel for more security?
And how about the evidence that Obama's blame-America-first foreign policy sometimes spurs him to ignore/cover up the obvious?

Siobhan Mannion takes Hennessy award
Laurence Mackin
If they are not distributing short lists, they are handing out awards – hot on the heels of yesterday's Impac and Orange finalists came the Hennessy Literary Awards 2011.
The major winner on the night was Siobhán Mannion, who took home awards for First Fiction and New Irish Writer 2011 for her novel, Lightning Bugs – congratulations to her and champagne all round then. There was none more delighted last night, judging by Twitter any way, than Mannion's colleague Sean Rocks – Mannion produces arts show Arena on RTE, which of course Rocks presents.
Eileen Casey won in the Emerging Fiction category for her book Macaw, and Aifric McGlinchey won in the Emerging Poetry section for Do Not Lie to a Love and Under the Heart, a Horseshoe Shape. Sebastian Barry was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Each category winner received €1,500, while Mannion took home an additional €2,500 for the New Writer of the Year top billing. The judges in this competition were journalist Ciaran Carty, poet Paul Durcan and literary agent AP Watt. My reading list just got a little longer.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a very large meta-study a few months ago an the effect of saturated fats on cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke.. Dr. Andrew Weill brought it to our attention here.
Hamburger and all other meat are laden with saturated fats. But, quoting the original AJCNl article: "During 5–23 years of follow-up of 347,747 subjects, 11,006 developed CHD or stroke. Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD."
As Weill points out, High Glycemic Index carbs are the real danger. So eat your holiday burger with a healthy smile. Just don't slap it between two deadly carbohydrate-loaded buns...

LIA Monthly Economic Report: April 2014
By: Dr. John Rizzo
The US economy showed some signs of strength in the past month. Labor market conditions improved, albeit at a modest pace. Jobless claims remained at levels consistent with expansion in the labor market. Personal income rose and consumer confidence about future economic conditions were favorable. A sharp decline in sales of new and existing homes is cause for some concern, however. This may reflect severe weather conditions. But rising home prices and mortgage rates, as well as limited existing home inventories, may also have played a role. If the decline was driven by weather, one can anticipate a robust rebound in home sales in the coming months.
Inflation remained very low and the stock market showed resilience. Both of these factors bode well for consumer confidence and spending going forward. Read More.

Welcome to the Student Chapter of IEEE at Dartmouth!
Mad Scientist talks about Entrepreneurship: The Innovation and The Spirit at Feb. 16th 5:00pm onwards in Spanos Auditorium
As students move a step closer towards a professional environment, everyone aims to be successful and do something special and different. Entering new businesses, everyone thinks of how businessmen and venture capitalists perceive new innovations. Young professionals and entrepreneurs try to follow the tweets of Richard Branson, Larry Page, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and the sorts.
Only few think about the science that stirs the innovation that drives entrepreneurs. Have you ever thought of how a scientist perceives entrepreneurship? That too, a mad one?
Come listen to IBM Fellow, Chief Scientist of Design Automation and TEDx Speaker John Cohn thoughts on key industry drivers like the process of innovation, disruption and restless re-invention. His crazy approaches have earned him the title Mad Scientist, so join in with an open mind to experience a totally new take on entrepreneurship with one who believes eating rats on reality TV to be a part of innovation. Don't miss out on this crazy talk! Looking forward to seeing you on Monday, 5 PM.

+ SARLab
In September of 1997, a Canadian study revealed that a constellation of mid-earth orbiting (MEO) satellites could be used to augment the existing Cospas-Sarsat system by providing an improved space-based distress alerting and locating capability. NASA, in coordination with the Global Positioning System (GPS) Program Office and Sandia
National Laboratories, has determined that the GPS constellation would be the best and most cost-effective
MEO satellite constellation to host the search and rescue (SAR) instruments. This project is called the Distress
Alerting Satellite System (DASS).
NASA has committed funds for the development of a proof-of-concept (POC) system for DASS, which includes the funding necessary to modify up to 30 instruments for deployment onboard future GPS satellites, and the installation of a POC DASS ground station at the GSFC. Funding for development and operation of DASS will be provided or shared among the supporting agencies according to their agreed roles.
DASS is intended to enhance the international Cospas-Sarsat satellite-aided search and rescue (SAR) system by installing 406 MHz SAR instruments on the GPS medium Earth orbit (MEO) navigational satellites and by introducing new ground segment tracking stations and processing algorithms. DASS is expected to significantly enhance current Cospas-Sarsat operations by providing near-instantaneous detection and location of 406 MHz emergency beacons.
Responsibilities of federal agencies for SAR, Cospas-Sarsat, and DASS are covered in a collage of key references (agreements, understandings and plans); they contain information on DASS, the DASS development effort, and SAR organization. The primary agency partners involved are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Air Force (USAF) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). NASA leads DASS planning, development, and proof-of-concept testing efforts. Upon transition to an operational system, DASS is expected to be managed and operationally funded by NOAA, the USAF, and the USCG. While a lot of U.S. effort is going into developing DASS, related international efforts to support DASS and develop compatible MEOSAR systems are also underway.
Initial investigations identified many possible benefits that might be realized from a MEOSAR system, such as the following:
Operational DASS will function as a secondary mission aboard Global Positioning System Block III (GPS III) satellites, and when fully deployed will consist of 24 to 27 payloads in medium Earth orbit (MEO). The GPS constellation arrangement will be such that no less than four DASS-equipped satellites will be visible from anywhere on Earth at any time. For a satellite to be able to relay a distress alert from an emergency beacon, it must be "visible" to that beacon. It is expected that a fully operational DASS, along with SAR/Galileo and SAR/GLONASS (see International Efforts), will become a component of the Cospas-Sarsat System.
DASS will greatly reduce the time to locate a beacon, which will result in more lives saved and fewer national resources expended.
The DASS concept of operations is to use SAR instruments on GPS satellites, with appropriately located ground processing stations to receive, decode, and locate 406 MHz distress beacons throughout the world. DASS is considered to be a low-risk simple addition to the GPS constellation. DASS will be completely compatible with Cospas-Sarsat 406 MHz emergency beacons as defined in the Cospas-Sarsat beacon specification (document C/S T.001).
The system also has the potential of providing additional one-way or two-way, non-vocal digital messaging. This, for example, might let the person in distress know that the alert message has been received, and could help mitigate false alarms by confirming whether an alert is for a distress situation, or was a false alert. U.S. agencies involved have not made a formal decision regarding a DASS supplemental digital messaging.

A. Baliva, L. Marinangeli, E. Piluso, G.G. Ori, V. Ruscito (International Research School for Planetary Sciences (IRSPS))
It's generally accepted that the development of life needs, at least, the presence of liquid water, sources of energy and biogenic elements. It seems that, on Mars, the above mentioned conditions were often present in the past, due to several reasons such as volcanic activity, greenhouse periods and impact cratering. In this scenario, it's probable that biological remnants (if there any) could have been localised in sedimentary rocks deposited in lacustrine (wet periods) or in sabkha (dry periods) conditions. In particular, hydrothermal environments widespread present on Mars surface, could have been suitable habitats for bacterial proliferation as it happens on Earth at present. For this reason we choose the environments of volcanic islands close to Sicily (Italy) that are rich in young hydrothermal activity. In Pantelleria Island there is a crater lake, Specchio di Venere, were diffuse and small hot springs bubble under the water. The development of life forms is strictly related to the presence of these gaseous veneers that provide the ideal microhabitat. We analysed the mineralogy of sediments coming from Specchio di Venere Lake and the results were in a good agreement with the mineral assemblages predicted for similar environments on Mars on the basis of previous studies.

What is the trial about?
The TRACE Peanut Study aims to find out exactly how much peanut is safe for the population, so food labelling can be improved.
Food manufacturers generally use 'may contain nuts' warnings because they can't be sure whether products may, by accident, contain peanut. The TRACE Peanut Study aims to find out exactly how much peanut will cause an allergic reaction in those with a peanut allergy by conducting 'challenges' on around 100 people. The focus area of the study is on two 'extrinsic' factors known to influence allergic thresholds (exercise and tiredness).
The Food Standards Agency, who commissioned the trial, will be able to use this information to improve the clarity of food labelling for peanut-allergic consumers in the UK.
Am I eligible?
The trial is open to both men and women. To be eligible, you must:
- Be aged 18 – 45 years
- Had a peanut allergy diagnosed by a doctor
- Be prepared to complete a fitness running test (approx 20 mins)
Please note that certain serious illnesses and other conditions may preclude certain individuals from participating, some of these are detailed on the registration page. Women who are pregnant, planning to be pregnant during the study or who are breastfeeding during the study are not eligible for the trial.
If you believe you may be eligible to participate, please click through to the Registration page and complete the form shown.
What's involved?
You will be invited to attend a screening visit (2hrs) at the research ward in Royal Brompton Hospital, London or Addenbooke's Hospital, Cambridge – which ever is most convenient for you. At this visit, we will provide you with written information, answer your questions and ask for your informed consent to proceed.
The aim of this visit will be to run some quick tests and decide if you are eligible to continue into the rest of the study, if so we will invite you return for a 'peanut challenge'.
A summary of the study is as follows:
Recruitment and Screening (March 2012 – March 2014)
Challenges (May 2013 – April 2016)
Publish final results (May 2016)
*Approximate participation time is 12 months.
Participants will be reimbursed a maximum of £800 for their time. If you attend a screening visit and are found not to be eligible, we will reimburse any reasonable travel expenses you have incurred.
What if I change my mind once the study has begun?
You are free to withdraw from the study at any time, in the event of this we shall ask for your permission to use any data and samples collected up until that time.

The Guardian:
The founder of the WikiLeaks website, Julian Assange, has said he expects to earn more than £1m from book deals.
Assange, who achieved global notoriety after his whistleblower websitebegan releasing more than a quarter of a million diplomatic cables, said he would use the money for legal costs.
The 39-year-old is fighting extradition to Sweden, where two women have accused him of sexual misconduct. He denies the allegations.

I had a great time on the cruise, the staff was incredible, the ship (Norwegian Crown) was nice, and everything went well except for a little bit of the weather. We were on the Norwegian Crown, operated by Norwegian Cruise Lines, for a seven day adventure to the isles of Bermuda. What follows is mostly a recount of our trip and the fun times and isn't meant to be a critical review… I was on vacation after all. 🙂
We departed out of Philadelphia on Oct. 9th and the naval base there was a little confusing to navigate the unmarked roads between abandoned buildings but we found the check-in building. Check-in was a breeze and even without any physical tickets, we were printed out our cards (after providing photographic identification) and permitted to enter the ship. We sailed on the Norwegian Crown, brought into service in 2003 (corrected), and probably had about a thousand passengers. It looks enormous but having been on an even bigger ship (a Carnival ship, the name escapes me) I knew this one would rock quite a bit on our trip.
NCL has this concept of Freestyle Dining where you eat whenever you want to eat in the dining rooms. On the Crown there was one main dining room, one buffet dining room, and three specialty restaurants. The specialty restaurants required dinner reservations and one of them required a $15 charge per person, we never had the opportunity to eat at any of those. In the main dining room, we received fantastic service and we requested the same pair of waiters each night (Joselito and Colleen) after we met them on the third night. Unlike most waiters, they were cordial, made conversation, and gave us great tips for what to do on Bermuda since they'd been there about… thirty times. 🙂
[Great interactive map of Bermuda] [3]
The first stop was at St George's [interactive city map] [4] on the northeast end of the island. One of the benefits of being on a smaller ship is that it can navigate through the St. George's cut, an opening between islands that is barely the width of two cruise ships, believe it or not. Tobacco Bay is the name of the most well known beach in the area and easily within ten minutes walking distance. Nestled up next to St. Catherine's fort ($10 to see it, we skipped), the sandy pink beaches were nice and the waves were calm but kicking. Tobacco Bay, while nice, was probably the smallest beach on the island in that you couldn't really explore the coastline like other beaches. At around 3pm, it started to drizzle in rain and so we made our way back to the ship. Taking the scenic route, we walked through quaint neighborhoods of pastel-colored one-story homes and were pounded by the rain. The weather was warm so the rain didn't really both us too much and we were able to see much of the island.
The second stop was at Hamilton [interactive city map] [5], the capital of Bermuda, and you could feel the more city-like atmosphere. There were a lot of shops, most of my gift-shopping was done here, and the beach (Horseshoe Bay specifically) was an $18 cab fare away. Horseshoe Bay was fun in that it's the end of a chain of beaches. During low-tide, you could walk along the coastline, through caves, and see half a dozen other beaches. During high-tide, it'd be impossible. The city of Hamilton itself was pretty small by standards in the U.S. but probably pretty sizeable for Bermuda (given that it's the capital).
The third stop was the Royal Navy Dockyard [interactive city map] [6], a great little historical site. At the two other stop we were able to walk into the forts and cannon emplacements, but only here was there a truly educational historical site. We went to the Bermuda Maritime Museum ($10, well worth it) which included Dolphin Quest, Commissioner's House, and The Keep. Dolphin Quest was something where you could sit in the water and actually play with dolphins, I think it was a shore excursion and cost $185!!! The Maritime Museum was a collection of six or seven buildings detailing the rich history of Bermuda. For example, we learned that the first settlers of Bermuda shipwrecked on its reefs (on the way to Jamestown, Virginia) and made their way to the island. From the wreckage, they made two smaller ships and about sixty people stayed behind.
As for the food, we loved it. The beauty of freestyle cruising is that you only eat with your group and not with strangers so you can order as many appetizers, entrees, and desserts as you want. At a minimum I ordered two entrees a night. One of us, who would later win the King of the Crown competition and be named Mr. Six-Pack, ordered four one night and he put it all down.
As an interesting side note, we had spent a little bit of time in the casino while we were at sea (an aggregate of three days) and so one night at The Top of the Crown (the name of the disco onboard) an "executive casino host" named Jules recognized me and started buying all of us drinks. One of those drinks was a shot of Sambuvca, licorice liquor like Jaeger, which you shoot in an interesting way. First you light it, slam your hand on the shot, the fire burns out what little air was trapped, and you pull it from your hand. Then you shoot it, flip it over, and with a straw suck the remaining drips off the table. Later on, he hooked us up with some $5 match play coupons and free drinks in the casino.
I'd say that the cruise was a success even though we did have a little bit of rain and the water was a little choppy (made worse by a small ship, but Bonine saved the day). I'd recommend that cruise to anyone especially at the price we paid, $750 per person plus a $100 Target Gift Card, which included insurance of about $75/person.

Great Performances: The Hollow Crown: Henry IV, Part I
Friday, September 27 at 9:00 p.m.
O, Harry, thou hast robb'd me of my youth!
- Hotspur, Act V, Sc. 4
The heir to the throne, Prince Hal (Tom Hiddleston), defies his father, King Henry (Jeremy Irons), by spending his time at Mistress Quickly's (Julie Walters) tavern in the company of the dissolute Falstaff (Simon Russell Beale) and his companions.
The king is threatened by a rebellion led by Hal's rival, Hotspur (Joe Armstrong), Hotspur's father Northumberland (Alun Armstrong) and his uncle Worcester (David Hayman). In the face of this danger to the state, Prince Hal joins his father to defeat the rebels at the Battle of Shrewsbury and kill Hotspur in hand-to-hand combat. Michelle Dockery (Lady Mary in "Downton Abbey") plays Hotspur's wife, Kate Percy.

ING Says It's Still Worth Making Ship Loans as Europe Banks Exit
ING Groep NV, the largest Dutch financial-services company, will keep lending to the shipping industry as some European banks cut their portfolios or refrain from new lending amid the maritime industry's crisis.
ING plans to keep its 6 billion-euro ($7.9 billion) shipping portfolio "relatively flat" this year, making new loans "equivalent in size to debt run-off with some allowances for new building commitments," Rory Hussey, managing director at ING's shipping finance division, said in a phone interview from London on April 27.
ING is one of a dwindling number of European lenders making loans to an industry hurt by an overcapacity of vessels, slumping freight rates and soaring fuel costs. Banks are also scaling back or exiting ship finance because of stricter capital rules for lenders or as a condition for approval of government bailouts they got during the global financial crisis. That has pushed up the margins on maritime industry loans.
"We have room for more lending and are open for new business, though not as wide open as we were at the beginning of last year," Hussey said. "The net margins are at this point slightly higher than they were in 2006 and 2007 and the net returns are better. It is still worth making shipping loans."
The crisis in the shipping industry led to the bankruptcy filings last year of General Maritime Corp., the second-largest U.S. owner of oil tankers, and Korea Line Corp., Korea's second-biggest operator of dry-bulk ships. Many smaller and middle-sized shipping companies in Germany, home to the world's third-largest water-transport fleet, are struggling to service their debt and may face insolvency, according to the VDR shipping association, a Hamburg-based industry group that represents more than 200 shipping lines.
'In the Doldrums'
Container lines A.P. Moeller-Maersk A/S, France's CMA CGM SA and Hapag-Lloyd AG posted losses last year because of higher fuel costs and falling freight rates, caused by an oversupply of vessels and a price war on routes between Asia and Europe. Companies such as Maersk and Hamburg-based Hapag-Lloyd have since raised rates to try to restore profit.
"It's difficult to be optimistic about any particular segment, as tankers, dry bulk and containers all look weak at the moment," Hussey said. "Dry bulk will stay in the doldrums though 2013 and while the container industry is out of the lull already as rates have been increased, it all depends on if they will stick. There are still also a lot of big vessels that will be delivered, and those have to get employed somehow."
ING is the world's 24th-largest shipping bank, according to Athens-based Petrofin SA, a vessel finance consultant.
Loan Losses
As a result of the crisis, banks' credit losses have increased. Net shipping loan losses at Nordea Bank AB, the world's No. 4 shipping lender, tripled to 135 million euros ($179 million) last year because of "weak market conditions" and "a general decline in vessel values," it said Jan. 24. Loan losses more than quadrupled to 60 million euros in the three months through March, from 14 million euros in the first quarter of 2011.
Shipping loan losses and provisions among banks will probably rise this year, Christian K. Murach, head of transportation finance at KfW IPEX-Bank, the No. 7 lender to the industry, said on April 16.
Thirteen of the world's 19 largest shipping banks stopped new loans to the industry amid an "extreme" vessel surplus that cut cash flows and led to vessel seizures, Dagfinn Lunde, a member of DVB Bank SE's managing board, said on March 9.
While HSH Nordbank AG, the world's No. 1 shipping financier, sees potential for making new loans using cash from repaid credit, it and lenders such as Commerzbank AG are cutting the total size of their ship-lending portfolios. Still, there are banks that see opportunities, said Hussey.
Bigger Role
"While I don't think that banks who haven't been involved will say, 'Goodie, goodie, let's get into ship finance,' you have seen examples of banks who have not been so involved before increasing their lending" to the industry, Hussey said.
U.S. banks such as Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. have become "a lot more active," Hussey said, adding they are not as constrained by the "bloody expensive" cost of funding in U.S. dollars as European lenders. Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Chinese banks also increased their focus on the shipping industry, said Hussey. Chinese lenders mainly assist Chinese firms and won't be a replacement for European banks exiting or scaling back ship finance, he said.
The European banks that still lend to the shipping industry are "not going to be as open as they were," meaning they won't "be doing any tremendous amounts of new lending this year," Hussey said. The declining amount of ship finance available is creating difficulties for some shipping companies, he said.
"We have a two-tier market now," said Hussey. "Shipping banks that are open for business are all looking at the same names. There is a hierarchy of names that all go after, and then there is the rest, which have no access to the bond market and to which banks are not interested in lending," Hussey said.

Equity Pricing, the Informational Regime and Efficient Markets: A Historical Perspective
P. M. Vasudev
University of Ottawa - Common Law Section
February 2007
Share prices are the very heart of the stock market, and this paper traces the practices that have been historically applied in the stock market for pricing equity shares. The story begins at the Exchange Alley in 17th century London, England and travels its way to 20th century America. The study is in the context of (a) the informational regime that had its origin in England in the nineteenth century and was adopted for securities regulation in the United States in the 1930s, and (b) the Efficient Markets Hypothesis formulated in the economics discipline, as an offshoot of the informational regime.

Many types of purchases require a loan, from buying a television to buying a house. While loan shopping, you might run into two basic types of loans: secured and unsecured.
One has you put up some personal property as collateral, while the other does not. There are pros and cons to each kind of loan.
Secured Loans
A secured loan is backed by your personal property—like a car, a home, a boat, stocks or bonds. It's called a secured loan, because if you fail to make regular payments, the lender can take your property—which secures the lender from financial risk.
Lenders for secure loans register a lien against the secured property as collateral until the loan is satisfied. A mortgage is a type of secured loan, because if you fail to make the payments, the lender repossesses—or forecloses upon—the home.
Secured loans can be for any amount of money needed to finance a purchase as long as the lender feels there is enough collateral to secure for the loan. Your income and credit history will also be taken into consideration.
They are pretty much the only way of getting a very large loan, like one big enough to buy a house.
Unsecured Loans
An unsecured loan is known as a personal loan, no collateral needed. The loan will be enforced by a contract signed by the borrower and the lender of the unsecured funds. Loans like credit cards, lines of credit and student loans are common types of unsecured loans.
Since there's no collateral, getting an unsecured loan is dependent on your credit score and income. How much you make and your credit worthiness will be the driving factors in determining interest rate and loan size.
Pros and Cons to These Loans
Unsecured loans:
- They are pretty easy to get; however, that doesn't mean you'll get a good deal. For example, high-interest rate credit cards with annual fees are easy to get.
- They offer lines of credit that might be relatively small, which is good for emergencies and daily activities—but not for large purchases, like a car or home.
- They are dependent on your income and credit score. If you're lacking in either or both areas, expect to get a high interest rate or even be denied credit.
Secured loans:
- They often have lower interest rates than unsecured loans.
- They do take longer to get.
- They can be big enough for large purchases—but are dependent on the collateral.
- They come with risk, especially because they require expensive collateral. For example, if you open up a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) but fail to make the payments, you risk foreclosure.
The fact is, if you need a loan for a house or a car, you're probably going to need a secured loan. If you just need some extra cash or a couple thousand dollars, you should look into an unsecured loan or a line of credit.
Either way, never bite off more than you can pay off.

St. Michael's is the heavy favorite to win a second state wrestling championship in three years this coming weekend.
A Valencia County News-Bulletin statewide wrestling coaches poll tabbed the Horsemen No. 1 in Class 1A-3A, and the Santa Fe school garnered 12 first-place votes.
The only other first-place ballot went to Robertson, which was picked second just ahead of defending champ Silver. Cobre and West Las Vegas rounded out the top five in the poll. RHS lost to Silver 218.5 to 217 last year.
Robertson's girls basketball team has wrapped up a regular-season district championship. Several other area teams look to do the same in the days ahead.
Mora Rangers
Mora's boys (22-3 overall) defeated Monte del Sol 90-71 on Wednesday, improving to 6-1 in District 2-2A with one game — against Peñasco Saturday night at Montoya Gym — left to play. A win in that game would give the Rangers and head coach James Branch the regular-season district title.
The Robertson High School wrestling team and coaching staff will sponsor the Junior Cardinal Classic this coming week, Feb. 20- 25 on the Robertson campus.
Children in kindergarten through fifth grade are eligible to participate.
Camp cost is $25 ($15 for second child from same family) and includes a T-shirt and tournament entry with medal.
Schedule is as follows.
Monday: Registration from 4 to 5:30 p.m. at McFarland Hall. Wrestlers will not practice on this day but will be weighed for grouping so they should be present.
New Mexico Highlands University
Pitchers for New Mexico Highlands University's baseball and softball teams are in the spotlight as the Cowboys and Cowgirls opened their seasons in road tournaments this past weekend.
Greg Fowler, a senior from Bakersfield, Calif., was named National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Regional Pitcher of the Week after his performance against Tarleton State University on Feb. 10.

SAN DIEGO — The New Mexico Lobos came into No. 13 San Diego State's loud, crazy arena and made a bold statement of their own.
Kendall Williams scored 21 points and Drew Gordon had 17 points and 17 rebounds as the Lobos stunned the Aztecs 77-67 on Wednesday night to move into sole possession of first place in the Mountain West Conference.
"We needed momentum and we needed a proving game, and this is a pretty good proving game for us," New Mexico coach Steve Alford said.
New Mexico Highlands University's athletic department is doing its part to spread awareness about the fight against breast cancer. Friday night's basketball doubleheader featuring the Cowboys and Cowgirls against Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference opponent Regis will carry the "Pink Out" theme. Fans are asked to join in by wearing pink to the games.
Tipoff is 6 p.m. for the women and 8 for the men at the Wilson Complex. NMHU hosts Metro State on Saturday.
• NMHU at University of the Southwest and Eastern New Mexico, TBA, Hobbs
• NMHU women and men vs. Regis, 6 and 8 p.m., Wilson Complex
• West Las Vegas girls vs. Taos (A,B,C), 4 p.m., Gillie Lopez Gym
• LCC at Midland tournament, TBA, Midland, Texas
• NMHU vs. Eastern New Mexico (DH), Canyon, Texas
• State tournaments, TBA, Santa Ana Star Center, Rio Rancho
With just one game remaining in the regular season, the Mora Rangers (21-3 overall and ranked fourth in Class 2A boys' basketball) are riding high, looking to clinch the District 2-2A championship and hosting rights for the district tourney next week.
Head coach James Branch dedicated this past Friday's 53-51 win over Santa Fe Prep to the late Fabian Trujillo, Branch's friend and teammate when both attended New Mexico Highlands University in the early '80s.
By her standards it was a quiet night.
But by scoring nine points in Mora's 65-20 demolition of Monte del Sol on Monday night, Andrea Romero joined the elite club of Rangerettes who have amassed 1,500 career points.
That club includes just two other players — all-time leader Anita Vigil (2,208) and Patricia Vigil (1,536) — said Mora coach Mark Cassidy.
Romero is averaging 17.7 points a game this season. "Andrea thanks her many teammates she has played with in the four years she has worn a Mora uniform," Cassidy said.

Silence spoke a mouthful for a Flint man during a traffic stop.
Police stopped the man for driving with tinted windows and discovered he didn't have a driver's license.
Patting him down, police asked if he had dope in his pants but didn't get an answer -- his mouth was too full of crack.
After a brief struggle, the man spit out about five grams of crack cocaine.
Add in the $600 in his pocket and the episode was enough to net him a 20-year felony cocaine charge.
Eating the evidence didn't work out much better for another fellow who ignored police orders to get out of the car afer police saw a bag of marijuana come flying out the window.
After rolling up the windows and announcing that he was calling his attorney, the man proceeded to ignore cops as his passenger began eating the crack cocaine.
The meal was interrupted when cops smashed the window, grabbing the guys, the rest of the cocaine and more than $1,000.
"Maybe they were hungry," said Geneseee County Prosecutor David S. Leyton.

Christian Women Need to Know Their History
You don't have to spend much time around the evangelical blogosphere to know that something's afoot. Whether you frequent "mommy" blogs or theology blogs, whether you are progressive or conservative, you won't get very far before you hear a common theme. Women of this generation are restless to embrace the fight for justice and find our place in the Kingdom. Books like Sarah Bessey's Jesus Feministand Trillia Newbell's United along with movements like the recent IF: Gathering, inspire us to take on the world. We are ready to stand for the rights of the poor, marginalized, and defenseless.
But even as we do, we need to take a moment to listen. We need to hear the stories of our mothers and grandmothers who fought these same battles—sometimes hundreds of years before us. We need to know our history.
I grew up in a family that understood the power of stories. I can remember lying in my grandmother's bed, snuggled against her under the crocheted afghan, listening as she told me about the time she overturned the butter churn as a girl and spilled the family's cream for the week. She had grown up in Appalachia, the middle of ten children, and churns and chores were an essential part of who she was. I also remember the stories of my maternal grandmother—how her widowed mother raised her and her four siblings in a paper mill town in New Jersey, how she left home at sixteen, traveling over 700 miles to become the first in her family to attend college.
But our home was also filled with another kind of story; our home was filled with history. Hardly a day passed when my mother didn't teach us some new (and often obscure) fact about the past and why it was relevant to today.
When we drove past the dilapidated towns and ethnic churches in our former coal mining community, she taught us about America's complicated history of poverty and immigration. She, not Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, first inspired me to fight for the rights of women and children with stories of 19th-century missionaries Mary Slessor and Amy Carmichael. And it was when my mother was reading George Elliot's 1859 novel, Adam Bede, (and giving us a play-by-play commentary) that I got my first lessons in women, calling, and the church. Turns out the evangelical gender debate pre-dates the 1960s.
For many, history can seem less personal, less accessible, and somehow less relevant than the family stories we pass through generations. But when my mother told us about history, it became the story of our lives. It became how we made sense of ourselves and explained why the world was the way it was, why we were the way we were.

Do you believe in miracles?
If you don't believe in miracles, you probably missed the 2005 IFWLA World Cup in Annapolis. After all, when Jen Adams and Australia took home the Gold Medal after topping the United States, 14-7, in the Championship Game on July 2, the victory was perhaps the greatest upset we have seen on the International Athletics level since the "original" miracle - the Miracle on Ice - back in 1980, when the United States beat the then Soviet Union for the Ice Hockey Gold Medal at the Olympics in Lake Placid.
Some will probably say that such a parallel is crazy. My editor did (he had the Aussies by 6 points). But if you look closer at the Aussie's feat, such a comparison is not out of the question.
While the obvious difference between the Miracle on Ice and Miracle on Turf is that the Australian women's lacrosse team had far more experience on the International level than the group of college kids who took USA to hockey glory, the fact remains that in nearly every way, the Australian victory was indeed a monumental upset worthy of such comparison. On paper, the United States women's lacrosse team was every bit the powerhouse that the Soviet hockey team was back in 1980. 12 of the 16 members of the team had played in a World Cup before. 7 of those 12 had competed in at least two prior World Cups, and 4 members of the team (exactly ¼ of the roster) were playing for the World Championship for the fourth time. Add to the mix the fact that patrolling the sidelines for the United States was a Head coach who had never lost a game in the medal round as the Head coach of Team USA, and this United States team was nothing short of a winning machine.
On paper, this was perhaps the finest and most seasoned women's lacrosse team to ever take the field together. Each player will probably enter the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame before long. This was a machine, built for victory, and while prior to the games in Annapolis there was a buzz that the Aussies had a shot to win the whole thing, it was inconceivable that the United States could fall - particularly on their home turf.
The Aussies for their part had a very experienced team, as well, with nine World Cup Veterans, four of which were playing in either their third or fourth World Championships. Seven members of the team played college lacrosse at the University of Maryland, most of which made heavy contributions to the dynasty of seven consecutive National Championships that made Maryland the most storied women's lacrosse program in the land. Jen Adams, the biggest name on Team Australia, is regarded as perhaps the best offensive player to ever pick up a stick. However, during the 2001 World Cup, the United States had an answer for Adams, and for the rest of Team Australia for that matter. After the 2001 Cup, there were many who wondered if the gaudy statistics Adams compiled while at Maryland were more of a result of the team she played for than the individual talent she brought to the field. More on that later.
What makes the Australian victory along the lines of a Miracle on Turf, what makes it inconceivable that the United States could lose in this tournament was not only the make up of the rosters, but really the make up of the programs. While there are bigger sports than lacrosse in the United States, the sport has an incredible degree of organization here that is not present in other countries. In lacrosse "hot beds" sticks are picked up when children are very young, and chances are that a young lacrosse player will play on an organized team from the time they enter grade school through Middle School, High School, and college. If a lacrosse player is good enough to potentially make Team USA, there is a Developmental Team for that program, and basically an opportunity every year for a top player to prepare for International play. For the player a step below the elite, lacrosse at the NCAA level is so incredibly organized and competitive that they are learning the game at the highest level just for being on the field against such great competition. Essentially, the program that makes lacrosse in the United States so strong is the very reason why the Aussies were able to take home the gold medal. Had the nine Aussies who played Division I Lacrosse in the United States never made the journey to play in college here, would Team Australia be the World Champion today? Very doubtful.
The production of lacrosse talent in the United States is very much a well-oiled machine whereas the production of such talent in Australia is definitely not. Down Under, there is some great lacrosse played at the Club level, but nowhere near the level of organization that we have in the United States. There is no government funding of Lacrosse in Australia, no NCAA for the Aussie college programs, and in terms of the public consciousness of lacrosse, there really is none. In Australia, lacrosse is played by a select few who happen to pick up sticks, but the sport is insanely low on the proverbial athletics totem pole. While tryouts for Team USA was probably a dog-fight that saw dozens of players who could easily have made the team, the Australian try-out probably consisted of the 16 women who made the team and perhaps a few others.
In other words, while the two teams were relatively comparable in terms of experience and talent, you absolutely cannot compare the network behind the teams. In fact, Team USA not only had one of the best coaches in the history of the sport as its Head coach, in the line-up itself were four current or past Division I Head coaches (Bonnie Rosen - UConn, Sarah Nelson (Harvard), Randall Goldsborough (formerly Bucknell), and Kelly Amonte-Hiller (Northwestern). Amonte-Hiller just led Northwestern to one of the best individual seasons in NCAA history. The combined lacrosse IQ of Team USA, along with experience, and a support network that was superior to that of every team in the World Cup combined made the United States a force that would require nothing short of a miracle to beat them.
And the miracle came. It came because Team Australia had something that nobody else, including the United States, had in its line-up. The Aussies had lucky #7 wearing its colors, and she was simply unstoppable.
Could a team win a World Championship because of one person? Absolutely not. But could one person be such an individual force on the field that it makes an entire team play at a level never imagined before? Absolutely - and in the case of Team Australia, it was the presence of Jen Adams that was really the "X factor" in Annapolis. Adams was simply overwhelming, notching 21 goals and a World Cup record 26 assists, including 4 goals and 3 assists in the Gold Medal game. When the Aussies needed a big play or a big goal, it was Adams who had the ball in her stick. She proved she was the best player in the world and then some. But I need to spread the credit a bit wider. Four years ago, Adams was the best player in the world on a very good Australian team, but frankly, the Aussies showed up in less than World Cup condition and the United States was just way too strong to be competed with. Adams was effectively shut down without Sarah Forbes and Sascha Newmarche in top form to take over. They knew it. They regretted it for four years and they labored faithfully to see that it did not happen again. The Aussies showed up in the shape of their lives this time. My editor did not recognize Forbes or Newmarche when he first saw the team during a pre-game warm-up. Their hard work in preparation and near perfect skills were the real difference here, along with the addition of some recent Aussie stars from the American college scene like Stacey Morlang, Kate McHarg, Casey Magor and Sonia Judd. Add new international superstar Sarah Falcione and final game MVP and goalkeeper Suzanne McSolvin and the Aussies were a step quicker, a bit smarter, and seemed much more motivated to win. They not only won the Gold Medal game, but they doubled up the US by a 14-7 score. The Championship Game was one of the more shocking events in recent memory as the US was simply dominated.
Adams's performance at the 2005 World Cup will probably be remembered as one of the greatest individual performances in the history of the sport at any level. She was consistently a step ahead of the competition, and it just seemed like she knew something out there that nobody else knew. Adams was essentially what the United States lacked, as while the Americans had a talent and experience-laden roster the likes of which we have probably never seen, it was almost too balanced. On both sides of the field, the US was solid. In transition, they were solid. Two excellent goalies were on the American roster. However, when a big play or two were needed, who could the United States turn to? Who was the American, "go-to girl"? When you think about it and look at the numbers, the US really didn't have one.
Balance in lacrosse (and just about every other team sport) is a good thing, actually a great thing. No coach wants to have to rely on the same player over and over again. However, you always need the one player that the entire opposing team needs to keep an eye on. That's the player who sometimes doesn't register a point, but his or her presence out there is enough to create opportunities to score. Virginia advanced to the last two NCAA Championship Games in women's lacrosse with Amy Appelt leading the way, and sometimes it was her mere presence, not her uncanny scoring ability, that drove other teams crazy. Jen Adams was that for Australia during the World Cup, but there was no American counterpart. The US had an incredibly balanced system, and when the Aussies seemed to find an answer to the system, the Americans did not have the person who could carry the team on her back and spark a rally. Better stated, nobody on the United States seemed willing to take that role.
All of which naturally brings to the table the question of team selection and whether or not the US fielded the best possible team. Clearly, Head coach Sue Stahl went with an experienced and veteran roster. Less than 1/3 of the team (five out of 16) graduated college after the year 2000, and not one member of the team graduated from college in 2004 or 2005. When you think about the number of top players who have graduated from college over the last five years, it is shocking that only five of them made the team. No Appelt. No Katie Chrest. No Sarah Hughes. There are probably dozens of other players who could join the list, but were not present.
It has to be a tough decision to select such a team. At what point is a veteran player past her prime? When is a younger player seasoned enough for International play? Not easy questions when you have to select a roster of 16 from a pool of hundreds of top players. But it would seem as if the US was a little bit too season this time around. The Aussies were by and large a younger team, and there was definitely a spring in their step that the US did not have. Was age a factor? Nobody on the US side was willing to say for sure, but how could it not have been when you're talking about several games in a very short span.
On the other hand, had Stahl elected to cut say, Cherie Greer or Jess Wilk - both of which were key members of three straight World Championship teams - what would that have done for the morale of the team? Again, it's a tough call. And I am not willing to say that the wrong team was picked. Stahl went with the experienced team, she gave her loyalties to a group that had given her so much for so long, and the United States fell one win short of another World Championship. The decision to carry this type of team should be respected but probably not replicated. In Stahl's defense, and she needs none, this team could have won the World Cup. They just didn't.
A dejected Kelly Amonte-Hiller after losing the final and the mythical "best player in the world" title
I do not hesitate to say, however, that the American loss is the end of an era for USA Lacrosse. Now that is has been proven on the field that the United States is not invincible, the selection of the team for the 2009 World Championships has to be scrutinized closely. Chances are we will see the end of the era before tryouts even begin because it is difficult to imagine that ½ of the 2005 team will elect to play again. Greer, Wilk, and Danielle Gallagher - all of whom played in four World Cups - will likely retire, as will several other members of the team. We will likely see the retirements of some of the greatest women's lacrosse players we have ever seen, several of which were responsible for helping to start the current boom that women's lacrosse is experiencing at all levels. It is incredibly unfortunate that this group could not go out on top. They deserved it, and will still be remembered as being among the best who ever played despite the loss. If you look at the impact many of the members of the 2005 team have had on the sport as a whole, it is clear that this is a group that will be remembered long after they hang up their sticks for good, and anybody involved in women's lacrosse owes them a debt of gratitude for their efforts.
With only five members of the 2005 team having graduated from college after 2000, it means that there will be a crop of 22 to 30 year old players who deserve serious consideration to play in 2009. In fact, judging by the performance of this year's college freshman class across the board, the collegiate classes from 2000 through 2008 are chock full of talent and desire. In 2009 Team USA should be comprised almost exclusively of this group. If not, we are setting ourselves up for another loss to Australia or a team like England who's U-19 girls were the "Belles" of the Cup of Nations tournament accompanying the World Cup. And frankly, just based on participation numbers alone, the United States should never lose if we take our best team.
If you can clearly and honestly imagine the contest between the USA's second best 16 and Australia's next 16, all of the points I've made here should click. Ultimately, the Aussies won the Gold Medal because they were the better 16 with a much better 1. But becoming the better 16, when perhaps the next 100 groups of sixteen from each country in match play might end up 100-0, was against all odds and was historic. Jen Adams is immortalized and Team U.S.A., while having nothing to be ashamed of, needs a program change to get the cup back. After all, it only takes 16 to win it.

Many times, you'll be working with documentary interview footage that doesn't contain the best audio. However, perhaps the production team recorded higher quality audio with a different camera or sound recorder. Let's take a look at how to marry a video clip that contains poor audio with an audio clip of higher quality. Okay, so I have here a bunch of interviews of our main documentary subject BD Dautch, and if I go ahead and play this, I'm going to show you what this sounds like. (BD Dautch: ...certifying organization, and we grow about 100 different--) Okay, so obviously we can hear it, we could use it if we don't have anything better.
But I was able to locate some audio that sounds a lot better than this. If I load this one, let's go ahead and just play this. (BD Dautch: ...and 5 acres in Carpinteria that we're farming on. It's all certified organic by--) Okay, so I actually pulled this from a different camera that was on him at that time. So instead of having to edit this into the sequence kind of haphazardly, let's go ahead and pre-marry it. So this is also just part of our prep phase. So, what I'm going to do is go ahead and load this in.
I'm going to clear my in and out points. You may or may not have in and out points in your footage here, but I'm going to clear them. And then when he says his first word, I'm going to mark an in. I'm going to help myself by actually putting the Caps Lock key on so that I can step through the footage with the left and right arrow keys and find exactly when he starts talking. Now, sometimes you'll actually have clapsticks and make this job easier, but you can easily do it with a word. So, I'm going to go ahead and just press Play and figure out where he starts talking.
(video playing) Okay, so he starts saying okay right about there, and so I'm going to just step forward one frame at a time. I'm going back, and I'm just going to press an in point where I know that he starts talking. Okay. So, that's basically where he starts talking. I was able to hear it because I have the Caps Lock key on. I'm going to make an in point there. And now let's go ahead and load the corresponding audio from a different clip.
I'm going to clear my in and out points here, and let's do the same thing. Okay, now I'm going to go ahead and step forward and make sure that I get exactly when he starts talking. (video playing) Okay, so right about there, I'm going to go ahead and mark an in there. It's important that you spend the time to make sure you have a perfect sync point at this stage, because honestly, tweaking this later isn't really an elegant solution.
So, you want to make sure you get it perfect, and you do that by stepping back and forth through your footage at an exact moment with the Caps Lock key on so that you can hear the specific digital hits of audio. This is usually pretty easy to do when you line it up at the beginning of a word or sound. If you don't get it exactly right, you'll need to do it again. So I can go through all of the interview clips and do this together. If I wouldn't have already split all of my interview clips into different portions of the interview, I could just do this once, and then sub-clip it.
So, depending on your workflow, you may have to do this a couple times or just once. So, what I'm going to do is click on both of these, so I can just Shift-click so they are both selected. And then I come up to Bin > AutoSync. I want to sync clips using in point, and I'm just going to use A1 to A1 and A1 to A1. So basically, what this is doing is saying I need to replace this audio on A1 with this one.
So, this is kind of overwriting here. Okay. So I'm all set. I'm going to say OK. I have a new sub-clip, and it says .sync.01. So, I'm going to just load this, and let's see how he sounds. (BD Dautch: And we've got about 10 acres in Ojai and 5 acres in Carpinteria that we're farming on. It's all--) All right, so we have the high quality audio married with the video that it's associated with. And as you can see, this is a sub-clip.
If I burrow down into my Assets and take a look at my interviews, you can see that all of these are sub-clips because I've already done this with the footage. Okay, so it's all set to go. You can definitely practice on your own if you like. Everything is here, ready to go. But this is a really great way to associate higher-quality audio if you have it with video clips that contain poor audio.

Erie area always generous in response to need
Every day, information comes to our newsroom about crimes committed throughout the region.
We've all taken our turn writing about shootings and stabbings, crashes and crooks.
So it was no surprise to me to receive information Sunday from state police about an 87-year-old Waterford Township man who had cash and a gun stolen by a robber who pushed him down in his own bedroom.
Then I spoke to his daughter, who told me of a man who was more than a victim in a police report.
He was a veteran, who served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II, she said.
He was a husband, who has been caring for his wife of 65 years since she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
He hopes his 1997 car will pass state inspection each year. He'd been setting aside money from Social Security in case it didn't and he had to pay for auto repairs or replace the vehicle with a used car.
He had kept the money, perhaps foolishly, at home in a lockbox that the robber took.
When he described the criminal as "ornery looking," I thought of my own late grandfather. It's the kind of thing he would have said.
Maybe it was that thought, or the holiday season, that made me especially want to share this story with readers.
And I knew, before I even wrote the first word, that they would respond. The Erie area might have a reputation for being cheap, but it's also known for its generosity.
People who clip coupons, grumble about paying $8.50 for a movie ticket and eat dinner in the afternoon to get the early-bird special are also often the ones who drop coins in Salvation Army kettles, hand over canned goods to food pantry drives and contribute to funds for cancer patients and victims of natural disasters.
In the days after the story ran, my phone rang with calls from people wanting to provide aid to the 87-year-old man.
One was offering free repairs for his car. Others wanted to contribute cash or set up a collection of cards and donations.
One caller also expressed the tiniest bit of concern about being scammed. Unfortunately, we've all heard about supposed victims who really were predators hoping to profit from the kindness of others.
It's a shame that even as we think about responding to a potential need, we still have to worry about protecting ourselves.
But it's great to know that we, at least in the Erie area, haven't put a damper on our desire to give someone a helping hand.

HEDGESVILLE - Back Creek Valley Elementary students were introduced to world studies Monday via a live performance from Middle Eastern music and dance ensemble TarabRaqs.
The Berkeley Springs-based family - comprised of Jennifer Carpenter-Peak; her husband, Bob Peak; and their two sons, Dakota, 15, and Lhasa, 12 - has received national recognition from the Turkish American Association and the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee for its school presentations.
"Our personal mission is - it's a part of the world that gets a lot of press, but it's not necessarily good press," said Carpenter-Peak, who goes by stage name Jensuya. "We wanted to show kids, as well as adults, the beauty of the Middle East."

Back Creek Valley Elementary students are treated to a live Middle Eastern music and dance ensemble performance by local group TarabRaqs Monday.
The "interactive entertainment," Carpenter-Peak said, aims at educating students on the language, music, dance, culture, geography and history of the western culture.
Students learned Arabic and Turkish words in addition to a traditional line dance.
TarabRaqs has been performing for audiences of concerts, folk festivals, government agencies, libraries, museums, universities, restaurants and parties since 2004.
The K-12 school program, Carpenter-Peak said, was initiated in the past three years.
While the family does not have direct Middle Eastern heritage, Carpenter-Peak said western travels have inspired the admiration.
"It's just a love of the culture, the dance, the people," she said.
Dakota and Lhasa are home-schooled, and the family frequently performs throughout the area and beyond, Carpenter-Peak said.
"This is our hobby, but it's a pretty serious one," she said.
For further information on the ensemble, visit www.tarabraqs.com.
