Resource efficient production
In order to ensure sustainability throughout the entire production every part of the manufacturing process needs to be performed with minimum use of energy, materials and water. This concept fits well with the principles of lean manufacturing.
Project Revolution
Idle running of machines represents between 20% and 40% in energy losses in society at large. Industrial manufacturing constitutes no exception. In order to change this Volvo Group has launched Project Revolution, a venture that takes a deeper look into how processes can be optimised and idle running minimised. Furthermore, the project includes resource efficiency, use of sustainable energy sources such as solar energy, upgrading machine control and closed purification systems in e.g. paint shops. When some of these principles were applied in Volvo Trucks' Umeå factory energy use was halved.
Material efficiency
A lot of the materials and chemicals used in today's production can be completely replaced or used in smaller quantities. By looking at production methods in new ways material efficiency can be increased. Volvo Group's goal set to a high standard; eliminate all landfill waste, high degree of recycling of all materials and use the
rest as energy. Volvo Group also looks to decrease the overall amount of materials and chemicals used, such as packaging and cutting fluids.
Although much has been done, emissions can still be reduced by using virtual paint simulators. In simulators painting programmes that control how the machines work are optimised. Other solutions include closed recirculation purification systems and rethinking processes in order to reduce the amount of steps used in the production.
Health & safety
Increased knowledge on the roots for allergies and which materials that cause health problems is something that Volvo Group has been looking at for a long time, and as new materials emerge this work remains important. New materials also hold the promise of making for example the truck cab a safer place.
Regarding work environment, health and safety it is important to increase cooperative efforts and to achieve international standards. A good work place and work environment is not only an absolute prerequisite for Volvo Group in order to ensure that our co-workers stay healthy, but it also helps increase the quality of our products.

Nebraska News: Count 'Em Annually
Published in the February 2009 Nebraska Board of Pharmacy Newsletter
Nebraska pharmacists are reminded that the 2008 Nebraska Legislature passed LB 902, which requires that pharmacies conduct a controlled substances inventory annually beginning January 1, 2009. The inventory was previously required on an every-other-year basis. The language of the legislation states that "such inventory shall be taken within two years after the previous biennial inventory date but in no event later than December 31, 2009 and each year thereafter be taken within one year after the previous annual inventory date."
This change was requested by the Nebraska Board of Pharmacy in order to identify potential diversion or other inventory problems before they become severe. The Nebraska Pharmacists Association was particularly helpful in the passage of this legislation.
The original language of LB 902 would have positioned tramadol as a Schedule IV controlled substance in Nebraska, but this section of the legislation was removed following opposition by the pharmaceutical industry.

[MilfHunter] Alyssa (Kiss This / 07.01.2013) res:1080p Tony goes to the post office to mail a letter and takes home a package of MILF proportions. The beautiful, blond, Alyssa was waiting to meet with friends and ran onto Tony. Immediately seeing her amazing 36 Fs, Tony strikes up a conversation. Shortly later, this vacationing Jersey girl, with the kids at home, decides the let her hair down. Once Alyssa gets behind closed doors she really lets loose and shows off her incredible assets. Two ginormous tits and a plump, juicy ass to match. While posing and being rubbed the right way Alyssa gets so hot and wet that she starts sucking Tonys cock right on the kitchen counter. They move to the living room to get a little more comfortable. And after a proper fucking Tony covers Alyssas ass and pussy with cum.

HOLLY SPRINGS – Gregory Leon Jenkins is in Marshall County Jail after being arrested Friday by sheriff's officers in Hardeman County, Tenn.
He faces charges of kidnap and aggravated assault in an attack on Charles Hardeman of Holly Springs.
When Hardeman was found April 11 in a wrecked truck, he was soaking wet, and his feet were bound. Investigators believe he had been hit on the head with a blunt instrument before being tied to a weight and dumped into a pond near his family's house but that the belt holding the weight broke, allowing him to escape. Very near the time Hardeman was rescued the home burned, apparently by arson.
The case remains under investigation by the Marshall County Sheriff's Department.

For the next two weeks, more than 100 heads of state will debate how to reduce emissions at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The Copenhagen, Denmark, meeting is the largest climate change conference ever assembled. Environmentalists from 192 nations are meeting to figure out how to cut greenhouse gases and try to impose collective deadlines on doing so.
"We want a fair, ambitious and binding treaty for the Copenhagen summit," said Abigail Jabines of Greenpace.
As the conference kicked off Monday, the Obama administration signaled the U.S. is ready to act.
Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that greenhouse gases are a health hazard and must be regulated.
The U.N. is looking to cut greenhouse gases by between 25 and 40 percent in the next 10 years.
"The science has never been stronger," claimed Connie Hedegaard, Denmark's climate minister. "The solutions have never been more abundant."
Americans, however, are growing more skeptical of dire claims that man-caused global warning will destroy the planet.
Opponents say the solutions discussed in Copenhagen could carry a price tag of untold billions for the world's wealthier nations, including the United States. They add that there is a clear political agenda at work in Copenhagen.
"You know the problem with this United Nations governmental panel on climate change is that the senior authors are all appointed by their government," explained Pat Michaels, senior fellow at the Cato Institute. "So by definition, it's politicized unfortunately and there have been a lot of flaws found in the most recent report."
The summit is being held in the wake of an email scandal that shows leading global warming scientists tried to suppress and discredit their opponents.
"I actually think it's very good that what has happened is being critically addressed in the media because this process has to be based on solid science," Yvo De Boer, executive secretary of the climate change conference, said.
President Obama will head to Copenhagen next week for the conference.
Monday he met with former Vice President Al Gore, the nation's global warming guru.
The EPA's ruling that greenhouse gases are dangerous is another signal that the White House plans to take the country to a new level of environmental regulation.

• Automobile passenger fatalities account for almost 25% of all accidental deaths of children aged 1 to 14 years. Given that child automobile restraint devices provide effective protection against serious injury and death, several jurisdictions have adopted some form of child restraint law. In August 1976, Quebec enacted legislation requiring the use of seat belts by all front seat passengers weighing more than 23 kg. Although the law was chiefly aimed at adults, a series of observations extending throughout six years were performed to assess its impact on children. Prelaw rates showed 6.4% restraint use for children aged 0 to 11 years and 14.7% for drivers. In the year after legislation, rates for both drivers and children more than doubled and had increased to 55.5% and 24.5%, respectively, in 1981. The child's age and parent's use of a seat belt were important factors associated with restraint use among children.

NJCAA national wrestling tournament to stay in Minnesota
Return to news room
The North Idaho College wrestling team won't have the opportunity to compete in front of a hometown crowd for the 2007 National Junior College Athletic Association national tournament, but NIC Athletics Director Al Williams said he hasn't given up hope for 2010.
Following the submission of a bid from NIC and the Spokane Regional Sports Commission to host the tournament for a three-year run at the new Spokane Convention Center that is currently under construction, Williams received word today at the NJCAA national meeting in Charlotte, N.C., that the 2007-2009 national wrestling tournaments will remain at their current site in Rochester, Minn.
Rochester has hosted the national wrestling tournament since 1999 and was the only other prospective site bidding against NIC and the Spokane Regional Sports Commission.
"They told us that the bids were very close," Williams said. "Rochester has done a good job and they have the history, so they were allowed to keep it."
Although the NIC-Spokane Regional Sports Commission bid was not accepted, Williams said he was happy with a change made regarding the process for how future national tournament sites will be selected.
NIC and the sports commission presented their bid to the NJCAA National Tournament Committee yesterday. In future years, tournament bids will be presented to each sport's national committee prior to being presented to the National Tournament Committee, allowing coaches for each sport the opportunity to provide feedback about the national tournament site to the National Tournament Committee before any decisions are made.
Williams said that he plans to resubmit the NIC-Spokane Regional Sports Commission bid next time the national tournament wrestling site is up for bid, which is in 2010.

I don't think mathematical proof is either necessary or sufficient for A1. Based on the similarities between EROS & KeyKOS and on KeyKOS's experience with attempting to get a security certification, I would expect that a B3 level system could be built on EROS without changing the kernel. However, to make it from there to A1, I think the whole system would have to rewritten by programmers with security clearance. I'm sure other's on the list can give a much more accurate summary of the issues. >Do we even need a new word for "capability"? Back when we had similar terminological abuse by Netscape, I found the idea of a new term appealing. After all, besides the trespassing issue, I just don't think "capability" is a great name for the concept. I originally grabbed "erights.org" thinking that "erights" was a good alternate term. However, when trying to write using the new coinage, the cost of cutting ourselves off from our history was too great. Would we say "KeyKOS is a capability system, which we now call 'erights'." or "KeyKOS is an erights system, but in its historical documents, 'erights' were called 'capabilities'."? Better to just keep using our word in a way consistent with its history, try to get the abusers on the defensive, and outlast them. We seem to have outlasted Netscape's abuse. When we need to, so to speak, introduce new terminology, we can refer to "our" capabilities as "capabilities in the technical sense", whereas "Posix capabilities", like "Netscape capabilities", are "capabilities in a marketing sense". (At the erights.org site, I have now given up on trying to rename capabilities. A capability is a capability. An eright is a kind of right that can be securely transferred through ERTP. This latter needed a name anyway, and "eright" fits it perfectly. Capabilities are not assayable, erights are. Yes, erights are built from nothing but capabilities -- the assayability happens at a higher level of abstraction.) How shall we put the abusers on the defensive? Besides using crit, I notice that most of Ping's URLs lead to email archives. I would guess that most of the corresponding lists are open subscription. Shall we divide 'em up? Any volunteers? But this is only a battle. The only way to win the war is to succeed at explaining to people why they should want capabilities rather than privileges.

This isn't a "major operating system security effort". This is a major "let's patch some holes in Unix" effort. Perhaps some of the people doing this would agree. If Casey thought it was a major security effort, I doubt he would have said "hey, we need some security guys". This means they know that they are not security guys. This is cause for much hope. >I think it's important to stay in touch with Casey. Feel free to forward this message to him, or otherwise as you feel appropriate.. Cheers, --MarkM

Social Security to Expand Fast-Track System
People with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and 37 other medical conditions should get federal disability checks more quickly under an expansion of the Social Security Administration's fast-track system, the agency said Thursday.
Those with a confirmed diagnosis for one of the covered diseases will be approved automatically for disability payments, sidestepping a lengthy process of denials and appeals that such patients often go through. A full five-step application and appeals process currently averages 440 days.
"If you have a devastating disease, that's an awfully long wait," said Social Security Administrator Michael Astrue. "We're focusing on making a decision for people who are clearly entitled to benefits."
The program, called Compassionate Allowances, is aimed at speeding benefits to individuals who can't work due to a medical condition that is expected to last at least one year or result in death. Benefits requirements aren't changed under Compassionate Allowances, but people can start to receive payments more quickly.
When Mr. Astrue took office three years ago, he found that 20% to 40% of cases involving people with rare diseases were "mishandled" and many resulted in appeals before administrative law judges. In the end, judges almost always approved disability payments, he found.
The Compassionate Allowances initiative was launched in 2008 and focused initially on 50 conditions involving traumatic brain injury, cancer and genetic diseases. Diseases that affect more people and have high mortality rates within short periods of time were added first.
The 38 added conditions announced Thursday also were selected because they are degenerative conditions that people don't usually recover from and typically receive benefits when the cases go in front of a judge. Input was received from medical and disability experts in the Social Security Administration, the National Institutes of Health and other organizations, as well as from testimony at public hearings from patients, doctors and advocates, according to the Social Security Administration. It said lobbying didn't play a role in the selection of fast-track conditions.
Some 40,000 to 50,000 Americans could benefit from the expansion in 2010, which will begin on March 1, Mr. Astrue said. The administration hopes to eventually fast-track 6% to 9% of all disability applicants, up from 3.9% last year. In 2009, it received 3.3 million claims.
People on disability are typically encouraged by the agency to return to work, if possible. There is an incentives program under which people can try working again. Training organizations also are paid incentives to help people on disability make the transition back to the workplace.
For people with medical conditions on the Compassionate Allowances list whose diseases are typically progressive, a return to work isn't expected.
Patients with early-onset Alzheimer's disease—in which they develop the memory-robbing brain disease before the age of 65—are among the potential beneficiaries. Such people may be too impaired to work but too young to collect Social Security retirement benefits, and thus are candidates for Social Security disability payments. About 200,000 people in the U.S. are thought to have early-onset Alzheimer's, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Harry Johns, president and chief executive of the Alzheimer's Association, applauded the expansion of Compassionate Allowances. "Because of the time it's historically taken to get any of these benefits, these folks are facing Alzheimer's and facing all these other [financial and insurance] issues," Mr. Johns said.
Mr. Astrue hopes to further expand the number of conditions in Compassionate Allowances this year, with a focus on autoimmune diseases and cardiac conditions, among others.
In 2008, the Social Security Administration also rolled out another fast-track system that uses statistical analysis to expedite claims that past experience showed had a 95% chance of being granted.

Today's "New" Music Is All Folked Up

One of today's biggest musical trends owes a debt to one of music's oldest traditions – buddies gathered on a front porch jamming with guitars, banjos, and mandolins. Some of today's most popular groups sound like they belong in the Appalachian Mountains in the 1920s, not on alternative radio of the 2010s.

Brenda Anthony Shealy knows what it's like to serve your country and the sacrifices it entails. She has been separated from family and experienced secondary post-traumatic stress disorder.
Shealy, formerly of Roaring Spring and the Orr Hill area, was known as Brenda Foor when she was growing up and attending Leamersville Grace Brethren Church.
She will honor veterans, military personnel and their families at the ninth annual God and Country Rally to be held at 1 p.m. May 31 under a tent at the Meadows Family Fun Center, Duncansville. A musical prelude by David Davis and the Warrior River Boys begins at 12:30 p.m.
Shealy served in the Air Force for 20 years, having enlisted after graduating from Northern Bedford High School in 1985 and beginning her training in 1986.
While in the military, she earned an associate's degree in bio engineering and college credits in personnel administration. She pursued three different fields in the Air Force, serving in bio engineering, personnel and as a vocalist.
Today, she still supports the Air Force and all the branches of the military through her work with Military Ministry, a division of Campus Crusade for Christ International.
The program provides spiritual help to assist military personnel and their families with issues such as marriage difficulties, serving during war and post traumatic stress disorder. Military Ministry provides men and women with Rapid Deployment Kits that contain a Bible, devotional and a tract that tells them how to put their faith in Jesus Christ. The information is placed in a waterproof bag that fits in the cargo pocket of their uniforms.
"They can carry their Bible right into battle," Shealy said.
She said family members get Family Readiness Kits and the military personnel and their families can study the same spiritual lessons while they are apart.
The kits contain a special package for children with maps of the world, a journal and pages where they can write letters to their parent in the military. She said when the parent comes home, the child can share the challenges and celebration he or she experienced and wrote in the journal while the parent was deployed.
"We receive wonderful reports about the kits," she said.
Military Ministry also holds marriage seminars around the world and helps families coping with post-traumatic stress disorder.
Shealy said when her former husband was suffering from the disorder, it affected her, too.
She said the ministry's faith-based studies teach the military person that they can work through their issues.
"Faith makes a difference," she said. "It's the healing that God provides."
Shealy said the programs are made available through 1,000 chaplains worldwide.
She serves as communications manager for the ministry and works with volunteers throughout the United States who support soldiers, sailors and airmen through giving of their time, talents and money.
Volunteers may send encouraging letters to those in war zones or baby-sit so a couple can attend a marriage seminar. They also may pack kits or finance the ministry's programs.
Shealy will talk about the program during the God and Country Rally, but will focus on honoring those who support the country. She said about 200 veterans are expected to attend the rally along with families who have lost a loved one.
"I want to reach out and acknowledge their sacrifices," she said.
It was a need to acknowledge those sacrifices that started the original God and Country Rally in 2001. Dave Potter, chairman of the committee, attends Faith Baptist Church where the congregation sets aside the first week in January for prayer.
He said it was after his prayer time at the church in January 2001 that Pastor Gary Dull asked him to set up a program to acknowledge veterans.
Potter, a veteran who served in the Army for 11 years, said about 500 people attend the event and about 50 percent of the crowd are veterans and active duty military personnel.
In addition to Shealy, blue-grass performer David Davis and the Warrior River Boys of Cullman, Ala., will perform. Val Span, a member of Faith Baptist, will sing the national anthem and Frank Gates, a member of Leamersville Grace Brethren, will lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

At MIA waiting for AirEuropa (UX) to open the counters:
After the check in, I liked the detail of the envelope for the boarding pass, small detail that I haven't seen in on my trips to MAD in AA, AV or IB:
Air Europa does not have a VIP room yet at MIA, I had a couple of hours left so I decided that it was worth it to go to another concourse to use the Admirals Club, but I needed a pass from AA, which they were very quick to print for me:
At the entrance to Admirals, they gave me a couple of drinks vouchers:
Being at the Admirals Club I saw this beauty from American Airlines:
At the gate:
Inside the A332 that will take me to TFN:
Uniforms, china, linens, etc. has been designed by Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, a famous Spanish designer:
The two choices had seafood and I am allergic, so I explained this to the F/A but told her to not to worry, that I wasnt that hungry anyway, but she said that she would try to find me a solution.
The chips look "cheap", but they were actually very satisfying. They also give you a bag of nuts:
The appetizer was excellent:
After I finished the appetizer the F/A approached me with a plate of veal and potatoes and apologize for the presentation, but this was a crew meal that she decided to exchange for one of mine. I was truly thankful, I was expecting maybe a coach meal or something. I appreciated her solution:
Ice cream, for me, the best dessert:
I went to know the capital city for a couple of hours. A few images of Santa Cruz de Tenerife:
The auditorium design by famous architect Calatrava:
The square at the small town of La Candelaria:
VIP Room:
The only delayed one, my flight of course!!:
At the gate:
I found very curious the use of these cars to guide the planes to the gate through the dense fog:
The 738 was very uncomfortable, but I was hungry and the food was OK:
At MAD my luggage did not arrived but they sent it to my hotel the next day:

At 4 p.m. Wednesday, the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office's Drug/Gang Task Force began rounding up dozens of suspects wanted mainly on drug charges.
In all, 67 people have been charged for 103 offenses in Operation Swift Strike, Sheriff Barry Faile said. The 103 charges included 98 drug violations, two assault and battery with intent to kill charges and two weapons violations.
Faile said the purpose of the operation targeted the drug trade in high-crime areas.
I agree with portions of recent guest columns about issues with Edenmoor. I was a major opponent against all the uncontrolled growth in Indian Land, even making an unsuccessful run for County Council in 2004. I would much rather see Edenmoor grow back up in to an uninhabited wasteland than turn into a home for 3,000-5,000 more Yankees.
But to blame the flooding on Mick Mulvaney is taking it a little too far. I used to dig night crawlers for catfish bait on the swampland at Henry Harris Road and U.S. 521 in the early 1970s while Mr. Mulvaney was in diapers.
Editor's note: Dr. Kevin J. Nusz with The Eye & Laser Center wrote the following column because of concerns about diabetes and its impact on the vision of so many people in Lancaster County. March 23 was American Diabetes Association Alert Day. The one-day wake-up call was an effort to inform the American public about the seriousness of the disease. The annual Walk to Cure Diabetes will be held April 17 at Carowinds. Several local residents, including Jane Lucas and Emily Stacks, will participate with the Watts Up for Diabetes team.
Wake up, America. Time for change. That was and is President Barack Obama's creed. Let's all thank God that Obama has done one thing good for America.
He has finally aroused the citizens of America to wake up and see his real political agenda. That agenda is to governmentally take over America and become her dictator, oops, I mean unconditional leader without question.
The cold and wet weather of winter 2009/10 has taken its toll on Lancaster County roads, cracking asphalt and creating many potholes.
Lancaster County Public Works Director Darin Robinson said this has created many problems for local motorists and a lot of repair work for his department and the S.C. Department of Transportation.
"I know we, as well as local DOT, are suffering from the effects of this winter on the roads," Robinson said.
Located on West Dunlap Street just across from the historic Lancaster Courthouse is the Lancaster Area Literacy Cooperative. Its purpose is pretty much reflective in its name. It's obvious when you walk into the office. Book shelves line the walls, a room is filled with computers and dedicated employees try to improve the local literacy rate.
A York County state trooper was killed in a crash while on duty in Lancaster County early Saturday morning.
Cpl. Dana Kevin Cusack, 45, of Clover, was killed in a single-car crash on S.C. 200 near the Douglas Road intersection about 3:30 a.m., according to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Cusack was on duty at the time of the crash and was driving a marked S.C. Highway Patrol car.
U.S. Rep. John Spratt stands behind his vote on the health-care bill that passed Congress last week, but he is taking heat for his vote from the man who hopes to unseat him in November.
Spratt, D-5th District, was one of 219 House Democrats to vote in favor of the bill on March 21. There were 212 votes against the bill, which included all House Republicans and 34 Democrats.
Spratt, whose district includes Lancaster County, said he voted for the bill because it will put insurance within the reach of 32 million more people, raising coverage to 95 percent of all Americans.
The people of Lancaster are speaking loudly. Yet City Council and other elected officials don't seem to hear. What citizens want are answers, explanations and absolution for what can only be described as the most unwarranted decision this decade.
The termination of Detective Pat Parsons is unfair in itself, and though it can be rectified by his reinstatement, I fear the damage has already been done.
Is there something wrong with our judicial system?
Last October, a person was stopped for speeding on Pageland Highway, charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a pistol. The officer found marijuana, a bag of prescription pill bottles, a bag with $9,280 in cash and a gun.
Do you think this person is suffering the consequences? No, he was recommended for pre-trial intervention (PTI).
Again, I ask, is something wrong with our system?

The Andean Tribunal of Justice (ATJ) is a copy of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), and the third most active international court. This article reviews our findings based on an original coding of all ATJ preliminary rulings from 1984 to 2007, and over forty interviews in the region. We then compare Andean and European jurisprudence in three key areas: whether the tribunals treat the founding integration treaties as constitutions for their respective communities, whether the ATJ and ECJ have implied powers for Community institutions that are not expressly enumerated in the founding treaties, and how the tribunals conceive of the relationship between Community law and other international agreements that are binding on the Member States.

After seven decades, I realize I am indeed a "Stranger in a Strange Land" as modern times and technology finally overwhelm and pass me by. I think it all started when young folks started wearing their ball caps backward, leading to droopy jeans, piercings and tattoos, once discrete and the purview of bikers, now a badge of a generation.
I tried to keep up with today's technology, figuring out the basics of a home computer at least. But after that the technical stuff flew by, leaving me with my dial telephone, not knowing the difference between a BlackBerry, an Android, an iPhone, a Galaxy or a Razr (not for shaving apparently), no clue on texting and the new language required to use it, ignorant as to the use of an iPad, an iPod, a Mac Book or a Kindle.
And what is that black thing stuck in people's ear allowing them to walk and talk as if they were having conversations with themselves? I think it's called a Bluetooth, which some genius named after a Danish king. (I looked that up on something called Wikipedia.)
People now walk while they text or talk on their devices, oblivious to those around them or where they are going. I understand they can also record sound and video and find directions to anywhere, all in one device.
While they are talking, everyone is carrying a water bottle and has a backpack filled with a laptop apparatus, assorted chargers, electronic cords and general stuff. Who would have thought in today's civilization we would have reverted to backpacks and portable water bottles? It's like we're ready to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
The big question with all of these communication devices is: What in the devil is there to talk about that requires one to own these things and be in constant communication?
I do not need to have one of these things strapped to me while sitting in O'Daniels Pub. My wife would be able to call me on a Razr or BlackBerry asking where I am and when I am coming home. I think the damn things can even track where you are.
Now, I hear Apple is developing a "watch" that will try to emulate the "two-way wrist radio" Dick Tracy had back in the mid 1940s. Nike has sensors in some of its high-priced basketball and running sneakers that transmit some kind of data to a secret site somewhere. And we laughed at Maxwell Smart and his "shoe phone" in the 1960s.
The dashboard of today's new car rivals the cockpit of a 727. It has controls for a radio with 56 push buttons called Sirius, which feeds 22 speakers and shows you the name and running time of the selection being played; a phone that talks back to you and competes with the GPS, forever saying "recalculating," (I still have my maps I got from gas stations decades ago); an inside/outside thermometer; a tire pressure monitor; and "heads-up displays" all beaming at you in liquid crystal brilliance. We will soon need a license to operate the dashboard.
Fortunately, my granddaughters Hannah and Sarah, not yet teens, know a lot of stuff and are a ready resource for me – and I a source of amusement for them.
If only I can find that store that sells the backward caps, it will be a start for me to get into the high-tech game.

A Google search led the Buffalo cop to Jericho Road Ministries, the refugee help center. Within minutes, the lost woman in his patrol car was flanked by translators fluent in Burundi and Swahili. They made sense of the woman's words. Long drove her home – and knew he needed to better understand her world.
"You never want to impose your beliefs on a people, or feel like you know what is best for them," he said Friday. "I thought I could better serve the refugees here if I saw where they came from."
In the spirit of helping, the 37-year-old cop took a reverse-immigrant journey. A friend of a friend had started an orphanage in the Burmese countryside. A few months ago, Long joined a caravan bringing medicine, Crocs and clothes to 35 kids. They live in shacks with tied-down tin roofs. He saw people who pull their water from a well. He met kids who wash their clothes and themselves in the same concrete basin. He saw students who strive to master English – the key to a better world.
Many refugees who resettle on the West Side – mostly Burmese and brightly garbed Somalis – live in code-busting bungalows. The homes are mansions compared to what they knew.
The refugees' names might be Thanda or Kyi, but they are the 21st century equivalent of the people who landed at Ellis Island.
Now as then, controversy comes with the newcomers. Critics complain that they take the jobs of "Americans." Others gripe about refugees' customs, language or legality.
What I have seen are mostly hardscrabble folks clawing their way toward the American dream. Whether it is Muslims of various nationalities uplifting parts of the East Side, or Burmese and Somalis breathing life into the West Side, I think the transfusion of newcomers is healthy for the city.
"I feel a surge of something special happening in Buffalo," said the lean, brown-haired Long, a cop for five years. "Refugees are a big part of it."
He also knows what he sees every winter: Recent arrivals, shoulders hunched against the freeze, wearing nothing warmer than a long-sleeved shirt. It is why Long, three years ago, jumped headlong into Jericho Road's annual clothing drive (www.jrm-buffalo.org). He enlisted folks from his Amherst church, the Well. He got fellow cops to donate. On Saturday he will be at West Side Ministries on 14th Street, handing out hats, coats and gloves to a horde of recent transplants.
Last year, the bins were emptied.
"It was the worst feeling," he said, "to see a mother sitting with a baby in her lap, and we had nothing left to give."
He does not want it to happen again. These people have come a long way to America. The least we can do is meet them halfway.

Last year, more than 500,000 students participated in National History Day,
the yearlong, nationwide educational program that fosters academic
achievement and intellectual growth while encouraging students in grades
6*12 to become excited about history. The National Archives and Records
Administration recognizes that participants in this program acquire useful
historical knowledge while developing research, critical-thinking, and
problem-solving skills that will help them locate, manage, and use
information throughout their lives. Archivist of the United States John W.
Carlin has served as a member of the National History Day board of
directors since 1996, and NARA is proud to support the program throughout
the year.
*Turning Points: Ideas From the National Archives* encourages students to
investigate archival resources related to a variety of subjects, including
air and space, atomic energy, civil rights, and foreign affairs. These
resources are available from the Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Harry S. Truman, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and Gerald R. Ford Presidential
libraries and NARA*s regional records services facilities in Atlanta,
Kansas City, New York City, San Francisco, and Laguna Niguel, CA.
*Turning Points: Ideas From the National Archives* is the latest in a
series of online projects that the National Archives and Records
Administration produces for teachers and students to encourage archival
research and the development of lifelong thinking skills. Other exercises
in the NHD section of The Digital Classroom use NARA's online database and
online finding aids for locating information on individual topics. For a

Anderson explores the real Lawrence of Arabia
"Lawrence in Arabia: War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East"
By Scott Anderson
Doubleday; 592 pages; $29
Few men or women can surpass "Lawrence of Arabia" as a larger-than-life legend.
Immortalized by a classic movie, T.E. Lawrence's on-screen image is heroic, romantic and poignant all at the same time. He's prescient. He's brilliant. He helps win a war but cannot help his Arab friends win the peace.
The actor who played him helped him appear larger-than-life. At 6-foot-3, Peter O'Toole would have towered over Lawrence by perhaps a foot.
The movie touches on many of Lawrence's virtues and vices. So does Scott Anderson in his latest book, subtitled "War, Deceit, Imperial Folly and the Making of the Modern Middle East." But Anderson's portrayal is even more layered. It's darker. And he makes it clear why events almost 100 years ago still haunt and define a very troubled region of the world.
Lawrence brilliantly found a place in early 20th-century desert warfare for Arab warriors whose way of fighting had changed little since medieval times. His grasp of Middle Eastern cultures and even military strategy often exceeded that of generals and senior politicians.
Lawrence also was arrogant. And ambitious in his own way. Sometimes he seemed cruel and almost indifferent to the feelings of others, even to his parents.
Anderson's biography explains it all.

MIAMI (AP) - Doneeka Hodges scored 14 points and led a balanced scoring attack as No. 3 LSU beat Florida International 68-54 Saturday in the Thanksgiving Classic.
Hodges shot 6-of-10 from the field to lead four Tigers in double-digits.
Aiysha Smith scored 13 points and notched a game-high 11 rebounds while Seimone Augustus scored 12 points and Temeka Johnson added 11 points.
The Golden Panthers chipped away at the Tigers' first half lead, eventually tying the game at 21 with 7:57 remaining. But LSU took a 34-26 halftime lead and never looked back.
No. 5 Connecticut 60, Hawaii 53
HONOLULU (AP) - Diana Taurasi scored 18 points to lead fifth-ranked Connecticut to a 60-53 victory Saturday over Hawaii in the second round of the Rainbow Wahine Classic.
Ashley Battle had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Huskies (4-0), who led by as many as 15 points in the second half.
April Atuaia paced Hawaii (3-1) with 17 points, and Christen Roper had 12 points and with 11 rebounds.
Hawaii made only 26 percent of its shots in the first half, and trailed by 12 points at the break. But the Rainbow Wahine shot 41.7 percent in the second half, and drew as close as four points late in the game.
Connecticut reserve Maria Conlon ended Hawaii's hopes with a 3-point basket with 4:20 remaining. Neither team scored again until Taurasi sank two free throws with 34 seconds to go.
No. 9 Vanderbilt 91, Youngstown St. 60
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Chantelle Anderson's 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Ashley McElhiney's 14 points and 11 assists carried No. 9 Vanderbilt past Youngstown State 91-60 Saturday at the First Tennessee Tournament.

U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6th Dist.) said the Army Corps found that the sand levels between Sea Bright and Manasquan went down by as much as 10 feet during Sandy and the width of the beaches was also narrowed.
Full funding for the $102 million project will come from the Sandy Aid package Congress has approved, Pallone said during a press conference Friday in Monmouth Beach.
Sand levels will be replenished to 9.3 feet above mean sea level height and beaches will be expanded to between 100 and 140 feet wide. During a press conference Friday in Monmouth Beach, Pallone said.
The project is expected to be completed by the beginning of next year, he said.

Woodturning: the art or process of fashioning wood into various forms and shapes by means of a lathe.
Woodturning has a long history, going back to 1300 BC Egypt. Unique in relation to most woodworking due to its use of a lathe, woodturners turn out practical, functional pieces or "turn" to the purely aesthetic. Each craftsman brings their own personal artistic vision to the objects they create, and the pieces in maple, cherry, and other wood from far and near (look for work turned from Arnold Arboretum deaccessioned trees) offer a unique look at the "personality" within the wood itself. The three woodturning associations that have come together for this very special Arnold Arboretum exhibition will bring their own creativity and technical expertise, displaying unique pieces for utilitarian use and aesthetic enjoyment. Join us as members demonstrate their skill working the lathe throughout the weekend.
This event is free, the public is cordially invited.
Artists interested in mounting solo exhibits in the Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall should review the exhibition guidelines [pdf]. Proposals may be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject heading "Exhibition Proposal."

SANDY HOOK — The person behind the fake distress call that sent hundreds of rescue personnel racing to Sandy Hook Monday may have sent the message from some point between New York City and Monmouth County, U.S. Coast Guard officials said today.
The preliminary investigation into Monday's probable hoax — which sent nearly 200 people to Sandy Hook looking for the scene of a reported yacht explosion that killed three people — has led Coast Guard investigators to search areas from Staten Island down to Sandy Hook in search of the caller, Petty Officer Jetta Disco said.
"It's basically based off of some of the information that's been received as well as the lines of bearing from our radio towers," Disco said of the search parameters.
⇒ Hear audio from the distress call
Investigators will be searching on both land and at sea for the caller, she said.
The U.S. Coast Guard has received about 50 tips since the release of the recording, according to Disco, who said she could not disclose what the tipsters were saying because of the ongoing investigation.
A reward of up to $3,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the caller, who could face up to 10 years in prison for making a fake distress call. The tab for the massive search effort is already upwards of $330,000 between costs to the U.S. Coast Guard and N.J. State Police alone. A half-dozen local rescue agencies, and rescue personnel from the New York City Police and Fire Departments were also involved in the search.
Disco said the Coast Guard is actively seeking the perpetrator and again called on the public's help.
"We'll certainly take all the help that we can get with this," she said.
