Letting secrets out of the box
Recently the tactics of the National Security Agency, tapping phones in the name of protection of the state, has refueled elements of the Tea Party as well as the left wing American Civil Liberties Union. As well, the whistle blower, Edward Snowden, has come forth to claim he was doing it all in the name of liberty. But even he admitted that he personally picked those items that he believed the public should see.
If there is a weakness in the libertarian view of the world, Snowden revealed it. He arrogated to himself, often without context, the right to play with national security. It represented his faith in the imperial "I" or individualism run amok. Perhaps the 29-year-old knows more than others looking after American foreign policy, but one would doubt it. But Snowden represents an attitude that has long existed since the 1950s and 1960s, that the people had the right to know – regardless if it was dangerous and could be exploited by enemies of the United States.
Such actions display a singular arrogance acting without fear or evidence, the stamping of the foot and an insistence that any dissent is in the service of a righteous cause. Also what Snowden did, and to the same degree, Bradley Manning, was to take current information and make it public. Daniel Ellsberg in the celebrated Pentagon Papers released a secret history of the Vietnam War with cables and documents that were no longer vital. In the Snowden and Manning case, the information that they shared has a current impact.
Certainly the Tea Party, with its devil take the hindmost attitude, can be understood to support the leaks, but for some on the left to do so is incomprehensible. Perhaps it is the residue of the years out of power, where liberals opposed to oppose. Or maybe it is simply to slide down memory lane, imagining Snowden as Ellsberg.
It is good to reflect that President Barack Obama was highly critical of these policies which were, after all, placed by President George W. Bush. But once Obama assumed power, he followed them – not being overwhelmed by foolish consistency. Obama ran into the big bear that plagues all candidates until they become president, that the world is easier on the stump than in reality. Not all policy can be made playing to the base.
Sometimes critics cannot distinguish between being authoritative versus authoritarian. During the discussion and development of foreign policy, the government has to keep secrets. Sometimes out of context they do not seem so important. But on a bigger level they can help an enemy develop and solve a diplomatic or military puzzle. Certainly no one person can decide – and Snowden, with his limited experience and relatively low grade, is not the one to gamble with the fate of a nation.
The Rand Pauls might squawk and the ACLU litigate, but both must realize that in a dangerous world the individual is not supreme.
This is a childish delusion that entraps libertarianism, whether its origins are left or right. Based on a simple view of the world, such ideas can be dangerous. That Bush and Obama came to the same conclusions might give a hint that their fears were not entirely without substance. The individualism that has run rampant in American society, where everyone wins a trophy, with or without merit, cannot be allowed to interfere with foreign policy.

One Little Game
Technically it means very little. One game in the course of a 162 game season. But let's face it. Opening Day is something else. It sets a tone. In 2008, when all the cognoscenti had picked the Tigers to go all the way, those of us who follow the team definitely felt a little hint of worry when they got thumped by the Royals on the first day. And if they could have won on Opening Day last year, that would have been enough to win them the Central and avoid an ill-fated playoff with the Twins.
For such an epic sport, a sport whose history goes back more than a century and whose season lasts more than half a year, baseball is a game of inches and moments. And that's why we love it. It invokes the saga of multiple generations of both players and fans but allows us to live in the immediacy of a home run or a strikeout pitch.
Opening Day is baseball in miniature. Yes, it's only one game and yes it doesn't technically mean that much being only one 162nd of the of the season. But if you ask any of us sitting here watching our Opening Day starter take the mound if this game means something and you can bet your @$$ we're all going to say yes.
Happy Opening Day and go Tigers!

it's the regular season so every game counts…. well every game till your team is eliminated, or for non losing teams till you've won home field advantage in the playoffs….
Phillies Outside
It was a great day for you boys.
Flopsweat Padilla AND Carlos Zambrano both got shelled.
Opening Day for Houston Astros fans ended with a thud. Roy didn't bring his A-GAME and he needed it going against "Timeh" (as Jeff calls him.) Of course, Roy said his back is fine but he's a liar.😉
Your boys did well .. a little help from Jane's former Pin Striper too : ) Good Luck in Game 2!
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
what a day for baseball. not only was it beautiful across the country we got a taste of the future (Heyward), and the Present (Pujols) and of course Garrett Jones. the longball was healthy yesterday from across the country.
so was my beer in take. turning 21 really paid off at the ballpark. 4 beers totaling nearly 30 bucks! the best ive ever spent
Let the games begin. Opening Day is my Dance to Dionysus. Good luck to ya. Back into the woods!

Navillum Nanotechnologies
Navillum Nanotechnologies' innovative method for fabricating quantum dots and other types of semiconducting nanocrystals at commercial scale that can both save energy and produce renewable energy. Quantum dots emit light at specific colors when stimulated by light or applied electrical source.
Semiconducting nanocrystals can make solar panels up to 45 percent more efficient, which is more than a two-fold increase over existing commercial solar technologies. When used in LCD displays, quantum dots can increase energy efficiency by up to 35 percent over existing display technologies and improve color quality by 50 percent. Adoption of quantum dot-based technologies will reduce CO2 emissions and help to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels.
Traditionally, fabricating quantum dots at large scales has been difficult, resulting in limited supply and high prices. However, recent technological advances at Navillum have made commercial scale production possible. The market for quantum dots is set to explode over the next several years, growing from $67M in sales in 2010 to $676M by 2015.
As a result, Navillum is poised to become a key market supplier to end-use application manufacturers. Led by a talented team of university researchers and MBA students, Navillum is helping to revolutionize energy efficient and clean energy technologies.
Radiator Labs developed a low-cost, easily installed radiator retrofit that converts radiator heating systems into a controlled-zoned system, which significantly increases the efficiency of radiator heating while improving occupant comfort.
Mesdi Systems developed revolutionary equipment for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and other high precision products that will improve their performance and lifetime with advanced coatings and quality control.
NuMat Technologies, Inc is a cleantech spin-out that computationally designs and synthesizes high-performing nanomaterials for gas storage and separation applications. NuMat has developed materials that will fundamentally change the economics of gas storage in natural gas vehicles — supporting the gradual displacement of foreign oil.
The Stanford Nitrogen Group developed a new wastewater treatment process, termed "CANDO", for the removal and recovery of energy from waste nitrogen. The CANDO technology improves the efficiency of nitrogen treatment by lowering energy inputs and enabling energy recovery from waste nitrogen.
SolidEnergy Systems developed cutting-edge battery technologies to meet the world's growing energy storage demand. The Polymer Ionic Liquid (PIL) rechargeable lithium battery has four times the energy density of a conventional lithium-ion battery.

OVHS&E eyes new financial partner
WHEELING – The parent corporation of two local hospitals is searching for a new financial partner after deciding it does not want to join forces with Tennessee-based Community Health Systems.
On June 6, board members for Ohio Valley Health Services & Education Corporation – parent company of Ohio Valley Medical Center and East Ohio Regional Hospital – announced they were going through a "due diligence" process to determine whether to partner financially with CHS.
The move would have resulted in the hospitals being partially or wholly owned by CHS. At the time, board members believed a final deal would be reached this fall, but said Thursday the negotiations had ceased.
"After working through the due diligence process, we have decided that it is in the best interest of our organization to continue and extend our research without completing an affiliation with Community Health Systems," said Jerry Narcisi, chairman of the OVHS&E Board of Trustees. "Over the last three months, we have worked very closely with the CHS team and our team of independent consultants to make the best possible decision for our organization and community. After careful review we have made a mutual decision to discontinue talks at this time. We continue to pursue a strategic partner. Our strong financial turnaround should help us in this process."
The corporation apparently does not have another partner in mind at this point, but officials noted the company's financial standing is much better than in the past.
"OVHS&E has a $5.3 million operating profit through August 2012 following a $6 million operating profit of 2011, which enabled us to increase base wages for our employees. We are grateful for the wonderful support we have received from our community. We will continue our efforts to improve operations that will assure we remain a vital health resource for the region. Our affiliated physicians and dedicated employees are our strongest asset. We are grateful for their loyalty and the excellent care that they provide to all our patients every day," said Michael Caruso, president and chief executive officer.
The hospitals were looking to receive an infusion of money from CHS in the form of equipment purchases and renovations, such as at the hospitals' emergency rooms. A deal made with any company still must be approved by the West Virginia Health Care Authority.

Hey guys, first time homebrewer here.
120mL of Test E at 250mg/mL
I filtered using bottle top filter (zapcap cr) over glass media bottle. When it is sitting it looks great, nice golden color and clear as shown in the first picture.
When I pick up the bottle and swirl it around or flip it over to draw from and fill vials it gets cloudy and swirls. (second picture)
And when I set it down and leave it alone it goes back to a clear solution after sitting still for a few minutes.
Im worried that I may have gotten a little isopropyl alcohol in there from sterilizing things. Would that cause this to happen?
What are your thoughts?

University responds to latest WLUFA newsletter
Negotiations Update
Jan 25/12
In its January 24 newsletter, the Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association (WLUFA) continues to misrepresent the University's actions and position in the current round of bargaining. WLUFA also misrepresents the pension problems and financial challenges. This ongoing mischaracterization and the aggressive strike-readiness activities described in their document are particularly worrisome at this critical juncture in negotiations.
The university is extremely serious about trying to reach a negotiated deal without job action. Given the misinformation and alarming tone contained in recent WLUFA newsletters, the University must question whether WLUFA has a totally different agenda.
For more information on negotiations, including detailed responses to WLUFA newsletters and more information on the issues below, please visit the Universitys Negotiations Update website.Key contextual issues are listed below:
- The University is facing serious financial challenges. The uncertainty of funding remains a constant concern.
- Laurier has one pension plan for all employees. The pension challenges are real. They affect us all.
- The current pension plan design is not sustainable. We currently have less than 80 cents for every dollar owed.
- The pension problem was not caused by University contribution holidays.
- Nearly every pension plan in Canada is experiencing significant funding issues as a result of economic forces - low interest rates and the 2008 stock market collapse.
- Other universities have made changes to their plans and increased contributions to address the widespread pension problem. See details here.
- The teaching stream works for everyone students and faculty.
- Salary wise, the Universitys faculty members are close to the provincial average when you compare salary by years of experience.

Seth's academic interests include the neurobiology of learning and memory, neuropsychology, and comparative cognition. In the lab, he uses behavioral and neurophysiological recording techniques to study the long-term storage of memory in the brain.
The Ramus lab studies the neurobiology of learning and memory at the systems level of analysis. Primarily, research in the lab focuses on the hippocampal memory system (sometimes called the medial temporal lobe memory system) and its interactions with the association neocortex. The hippocampal system is critical for the storage and retrieval of long-term memories, but it is not the final storage site. We believe that the memory system normally interacts with the association neocortex during learning, and that these cortical areas are the ultimate storage sites for memory. To look for evidence of these interactions, we are using multi-unit, multi-channel electrophysiological techniques to record from neurons in the memory system and neocortex while rats learn about odors. A second focus of the lab is to understand the precise role of the hippocampus itself in memory. To do this, we are examining the effects of lesions restricted to the hippocampus or fornix on a variety of memory tasks in rats.

- Abstract
- We have studied ZnOZnMgO multiple quantum wells by spectrally resolved transient four-wave mixing with both one- and two-color excitations. The presence of an extended signal at negative interpulse delays in the two-color experiment is attributed to the two-photon coherence resulting from the generation of biexcitons. This technique provides a means to observe a transient four-wave mixing from biexcitons in the absence of any other signal, and thereby provides the first clear evidence that biexcitons are present in narrow ZnOZnMgO quantum wells at room temperature. Dephasing times of the order of 100 fs for the biexcitons are measured.

Learning about local food
June 16, 2011 —
Barryville Greenmarket Foundation expands market with new series
BARRYVILLE, NY — This year, folks can get even more than the fabulous locally produced goods already available at the Barryville Farmers Market. The 2011 weekly market has expanded to offer additional vendors and an ongoing educational and demonstration series entitled, "Farmers Teach," presented by the Barryville Greenmarket Foundation with funding from the Pratt-Heins Foundation.
The Barryville Greenmarket Foundation is a 501-c3 organization focused on educational work around local food issues. The programs, which will include educational talks, cooking demonstrations and performances, will take place at 11 a.m. on select market dates (see page 18).
"Our main goal is to educate the community on the importance of local farming and buying local to help support and sustain our local food system," said Mark Veeder, co-founder of the foundation.
"We want everyone to have the opportunity to eat local healthy food," said Greg Swartz, of Willow Wisp Organic Farm, who, along with his wife Tannis Kowalchuk, is serving as market manager. "We'll provide some of the education that goes along with growing and preparing local foods to empower people to grow some of their own food and supplement that with stuff from the farmers market. The more educated our customer base is, the better the farmers market will do."
The market will also feature community performances, including NACL Theatre's family play, "The Little Farm Show," an original musical theatre performance for all ages about farming. The performance is both informative and entertaining, with original music, comedy and a spirited sense of fun.
"They really hit the 'all ages' aspect well," said Swartz. "The kids in the audiences I've observed are rolling on the ground and totally engaged and the adults are laughing at the subtle jokes about our modern addiction to fossil fuels."
To enhance the social aspect of the market, an outdoor seating area has also been added where shoppers can gather.
The market is located in the scenic river hamlet of Barryville, behind the River Market on Route 97, and runs every Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., through October 8th, rain or shine. Visit www.barryvillefarmersmarket.com for more information.
Barryville Greenmarket Foundation programs
(Programs begin at 11 a.m. Additional offerings will be added in coming weeks)
• July 2—PA singer/songwriter Janet Burgan performs songs about farming, strip mining, fracking and love. "It's a chance for me to express my gratitude to the local farming community and to try to get new people out to the markets," said Burgan.
• July 16—"Backyard Chickens 101." Leona Willis of Jeffersonville, NY teaches the basics of raising a flock of chickens.
• July 23—"Mad Hatter's Summer Bash." A festive party with appetizers made from locally grown ingredients. Create a hat to wear. Winner will receive a week-long stay at Blue Stone Farm. Musical guests, cooking demos, a "Mad Hatter's Tea Party gone awry" and a silent auction. All proceeds benefit the market.
• August 13—"The Little Farm Show," original musical theatre created by Tannis Kowalchuk and Brett Keyser of NACL Theatre, Highland Lake, NY. Explores the question, "Where does your food come from?" with an all-ages musical extravaganza about farming, food and the environment. From the inception of the solar system, to sunset on Millicent's farm, the Magnificent MacDonald Twins give a whirlwind tour of "The Greatest Show on Dirt!"
• September 17—"Seed Saving for All." Learn the basics of saving seeds from your garden with The Dirt Diva—Adrianne Picciano. A hands-on, all ages exploration of the magic of seed saving.
• October 8—"Preserving the Harvest—Sauerkraut." Tannis Kowalchuk of Willow Wisp Organic Farm teaches the craft of sauerkraut making and discusses the basics of preserving food with lacto-fermentation.

A Spectacle in Red, White and Blue
NEW YORK The parade could be seen and heard several blocks away from Fifth Avenue, where determined visitors armed with folding chairs and coolers had been lining the route since early Sunday morning. Red, white and blue flags fluttered like capes from the backs of people heading toward Bryant Park. Salsa music pumped from the floats and coursed through the streets. Cheers rose above the roar of Manhattan traffic.
They came for the start-of-summer celebration that is the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, as large and festive as ever as it made its way up Fifth Avenue on Sunday. But if it seemed unchanged in the essentials, this years parade wore a slightly more serious attitude, coming just four months after a new board took over after revelations of financial mismanagement and rising concern that the parades corporate sponsorships had turned a cherished cultural celebration into a commercial spectacle.
Like the annual parades that cheer Irelands St. Patrick and the culture of the West Indies, the Puerto Rican Day Parade is one of citys the defining ethnic celebrations, drawing as many as 2 million spectators. It began in 1958 as a way to foster pride among a population that found itself marginalized; that history made the recent troubles all the more painful for the parade faithful.
Sunday was the new boards opportunity to deliver on its promise of a parade that is a prideful exhibition of Puerto Rican culture and heritage and that would move it past the drama touched off by the 2013 parade, when the previous board approved a commemorative can of Coors Light beer decorated with a modified version of the Puerto Rican flag. Some elected officials and community activists found the image insulting, not to mention inconsistent with the parades focus on health.
Then in February, the office of Eric T. Schneiderman, the state attorney general, announced that it had found a pattern of financial mismanagement in the parades nonprofit organizer, the National Puerto Rican Day Parade Inc. A lack of oversight had allowed a marketer for the parade to misappropriate $1 million for his own benefit, the investigation concluded.
On Sunday, several parade-goers said they were disappointed in the event previous organizers.
Were a proud people, Luis Jimenez, 50, who attended with his mother, said against a backdrop of blaring horns, dancing beauty queens and sweating, grinning, flag-bedecked crowds. It puts a bad taste in your mouth.
This years parade marked not only a break with that episode, but a triumph, too. Leading the parade, as one of the grand marshals, was the City Council speaker, Melissa Mark-Viverito, who was born in Puerto Rico and who is the first boricua to hold citywide elected office.
She had stood alongside Schneiderman in February as he announced the reforms to the parade. On Sunday, she reveled in a much brighter moment.
It has an added significance to me this year, for two reasons, she said in an interview, after gamely shaking her hips atop the Boricuas for a Positive Image float. One: The community is celebrating my accomplishing being the speaker of the City Council its a great recognition for the community overall. And two: Weve taken this parade back to its roots.
This years parade featured marchers dedicated to Julia de Burgos, a Puerto Rican poet born a century ago, as well as a succession of banners calling for the release of Oscar López Rivera, a former leader of a radical Puerto Rican independence group, who has been in federal prison since the 1980s.
Up and down Fifth Avenue, Puerto Ricans, particularly women, said that the event was a day to celebrate the communitys political ascension.
We finally got a boricua, and a female, said Maria Lopez, 32, who stood with her daughter, Alexis, 4.
Nereida Diaz, 66, said she had attended 27 National Puerto Rican Day Parades. This one is the best, she said.
Why? Estamos para arriba, she said were moving on up.
But for most, the parade was much as it had always been, a party unburdened by anything more problematic than a sweat-soaked shirt.
Sean Grecos son, Jayce, who just turned 2 years old, rode high on his fathers shoulders.
I used to come here every year with my grandfather, and Im just carrying on the tradition, said Greco, 26. Just to see all of our people having fun its great.MORE IN Wire NewsMADISON, Wis.

A complete renovation and name change has come to the former mental health unit of the Catskill Regional Medical Center (CRMC).
During an open house on October 16, CRMC's staff and members of the media were treated to tours and a ribbon cutting for phase one of the newly renovated fourth-floor Behavioral Health Unit (BHU).
According to CRMC's CEO and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Gerard Galarneau, the plan for the renovation started 10 months ago when the Greater Hudson Valley Health System (GHVHS) Board of Directors' performance improvement team met to come up with visions, goals and objectives for 2013. "One of those goals was to improve and focus on the care we're delivering to our mental health patients. This renovation is the first step toward achieving those goals... We had a choice, but our first choice was to protect our most vulnerable patients," said Galarneau.
Jan Calhoun, BHU clinical director and administrative director of nursing, led the tour showing off the features of the renovation designed to protect the patients. The entire unit is anti-ligature, Calhoun explained. There are no doorknobs, no extended faucets, showerheads or handles for patients to hang things from.
Even the photos on the wall are put on with a special adhesive, and are not in frames that can be used to hurt someone. The photos are calm and serene. According to GHVHS Art Curator Sarah Johnson, "We look for a palette of earthy colors that have been proven through evidence-based research to have a healing and calming effect on patients."
The nurse's station has no glass, and will, when the final renovations are done to the rest of the unit, go through from one hallway to the other. "The open concept," says Calhoun, "promotes interaction between staff and patients. All of the features, the lighting, the door locks, the colors, are recommended by the New York State Office of Mental Health. Everything is approved for safety and healing."
Come December, when the rest of the unit is fully renovated, each patient will have his or her own private room. The unit is currently at its capacity of 18 beds and some patients share rooms with others.
Director of Strategic Planning for GHVHS, Jean-Paul Vallet, said the $1.8 million cost of renovating the entire unit came from a Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law Grant (HEAL Two) from NYS Dept of Health.
"We're doing one floor at a time," said Scott Batulis, President & CEO of GHVHS. "It's a very exciting time. We're looking at an early 2014 remodel for the second floor, and we plan on having 82% private rooms for all units when we're all done."
Dr. Carlos Rueda, chairman and medical director for the psychiatry department of GHVHS could barely contain his joy after the ribbon cutting. "I am very happy. This unit now meets all standards put out by the state, federal government and the joint commission that certifies hospitals. The patients will be more comfortable in a healing environment. It is calmer and quieter; it's a more pleasant environment that will promote the dignity that every patient deserves."
"This is a place that promotes healing," said Dr. Galarneau. "This is one of many steps we're going to take. Stay tuned because this is going to be an exciting two or three years."

Police investigate the scene of a crash Thursday morning that killed two people in White River Junction.WHITE RIVER JUNCTION Two people were killed Thursday morning in a head-on collision on Route 4 about a half-mile west of the intersection with Quechee Main Street, according to Hartford Police.

Fire Station Catches Fire
Pamelia firefighters dealt with a fire at a very familiar scene Sunday evening: Their own fire station.
The decommissioned fire station on County Route 16 has not been used since 1989 and now it is used for storage.
Fire broke out around 8:30 p.m. in a garage stall. Firefighters were able to speed over from the current fire station a quarter mile away and knock down the fire quickly.
Christmas decorations, picnic tables, and a new sign were damaged. The fire station also rents out part of the building to Kip LeClair, a neighbor, for storage. None of his belongings were damaged.
Pamelia Fire Chief Harry Faulk Junior says the cause of the fire is still under investigation. He also noted he does not know of anyone that was supposed to be in the building in the past week.
In addition to Pamelia, Evans Mills and North Pole fire departments responded.

Connecting through community: The Cooperage
The Cooperage Project on Main Street in Honesdale, PA may be physically housed in the historic shell of a 19th-century wooden cask and barrel factory, but it is much more than a building. Like an origami star, it is a concept unfolding in many directions at once from the compressed heart of a shared vision.
In the months since its grand opening on June 2, 2012, The Cooperage has become the scene where people of the region come together, most notably for workshops, music concerts and for produce, meats, cheese and baked goods sold by local growers at the farmers' market, which runs on Wednesdays through October, and thereafter on Saturdays.
Creating community
While in the throes of renovating the structure, building owners Pennell Whitney and Edward Cremo observed that local growers and their customers at the weekly farmers' market were interacting on a number of levels beyond buying and selling. Whitney and Cremo were bombarded by ideas from people on how to use their space for the good of the local community. With this kind of input, they were inspired by the notion that people's shared interests and concerns might flower in the sort of venue they were creating. The mission statement created by the Board of Directors of The Cooperage Project amplifies those early dreams: "The mission of The Cooperage Project is to offer a range of instructive and entertaining activities that will engage, challenge, and enlighten. Through a variety of programs, we will inspire people of all ages to both embrace diversity and celebrate shared experience in order to create a deeper sense of community."
"We thought it would start slowly and have a chance to sort of grow slowly," said Whitney of the first few months of operation. "But it didn't happen that way. It went, whooaaa!" The Cooperage plans to offer programs through the winter months. "I do think that winter is a time when people are looking for things to do," she said. "I want to enjoy being here together and have lots of what we need without having to drive so far to do it."
The nonprofit's board helps to shape The Cooperage's presence in the community. "We are a very active board," said Whitney. "It's such fun." The board meets every two weeks to go over the event schedule, offer ideas and solutions, provide situational protocols and much more. The owners stress the extraordinary commitment of the board. "They go above and beyond," said Cremo, noting that board members can be found volunteering at every event.

Reviews of this property
France gave us a very comfortable studio. It was very beautiful, clean and nice. The studio was central, two metro stations were close to the appartment and there were a lot of possibilitys to get food and drinking on a couple of supermarkets. France is a nice person, who made many things possible, e. g. that we could storage our backpackages in her own appartment before we checked in. And she gave us some more hours on the day we left and a lot of insider tipps. Her Englisch is very good and at any time we had have the possibility to contact her. Should we travel to Paris again, we would again choose the studio of France. Thank you, France!!!
Thura was a wonderful hostess, she was helpful any questions or queries we had and with drying our clothing which was a real bonus. The apartment though small, was very clean and in a good location 10 minutes walk to the Metro with boulangerie, patisserie and supermarkets close by. The apartment has all the things you need for a stay in Paris, You have to like the idea of the mezanine bed but it worked for us. Wifi was excellent, a must for us. Many thanks Thura for a pleasant stay.
Perfect one-room apartment for a short or a long stay in Paris! France is the perfect landlady offering both great service as well as a sense of security. The apartment has a mezzanine bed, so you use every square meter of the floor. There's a bus stop right outside the building and access to 3 underground lines and the tramway which encircles the city. We slept well, and the Wifi was always in working order - what more could you ask for!
The flat was cosy and perfect for 2 people; really clean and france a perfect host! Thank you!
Absolutely no complaints. This is an excellent pied-a-terre: spotlessly clean, easy to keep clean while you stay there, fast wifi speed, good mattress in the mezzanine (although not much headroom). Some domestic noise from the family next door during the evening, but mostly quiet through the night. The nearby train lines pose no noise problem at all. The kitchen equipment is for basic cooking only; the fridge is new and keeps everything cold. A tiny shower (fat or large guests literally would not fit!), but lots of hot water. Best of all, the charming and cheerful landlady, France, lives in the building and is happy to reply to questions or concerns promptly. Grocery stores, boulangeries, laundry and restaurants nearby; good pizza joint directly below on ground floor. Short walk to buses and Metro. I would definitely come back! Thanks, France!
Super. Apartment true to the description. The metro is very close (bicycle station also). France is very welcoming and friendly. We will not hesitate for a future stay.
Super. Appartement fidèle à la description. Le métro est tout proche (la station de vélo aussi). France est vraiment très accueillante et sympa. Nous n'hesiterons pas pour un prochain séjour.
France is a great person and helped us in many situations. the apartment is nice and near to metro. you can find also supermarket and other service. we spent a beautiful we.
Study everything you need for your stay, near metro stations, very friendly and welcoming hostess, we repeat safe.
Estudio con todo lo necesario para tu estadia,cerca de estaciones de metro,anfitriona acogedora y muy amable,repetiremos seguro.
We had a very nice time in Paris and enjoyed ourselves very much. France is a super nice and very helpful hostess. The studio was as described and our expectations. With the metro you can quickly get to the center and all the famous sights. The area is safe and pleasant. Would the studio always hire again.
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Paris und haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. France ist eine supernette und sehr hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Das Studio entsprach der Beschreibung und unseren Erwartungen. Mit der Metro ist man schnell in Zentrum und an allen bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Gegend ist sicher und angenehm. Würden das Studio jederzeit wieder mieten.

Sgt. Todd Sherman was among the active duty soldiers who were reaching out to homeless veterans in Honolulu on Tuesday.
They covered Kaka'ako and A'ala Parks searching for veterans and just being the bridge between the veterans and the services that are available.
"Just talking to a lot of them, they don't even know about the benefits they're capable of getting so it's important that we are able to come out and just inform them about what they're entitled to," said Sgt. Todd Sherman.
"Our efforts today is to do outreach such as make some contact with some vets that are in need of services, housing, employment and job placement as well as VA services and just make a contact with these other agencies that provide the services," said Macy Sevaaetasi, U.S. Vets outreach case manager.
The soldiers teamed up with the Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Vets, Institute of Human Services and the Waikiki Health Center.
The Waikiki Health Center put together hygiene kits that were given out along with sandwiches and water.
Some of those receiving help weren't even veterans.
"There's children out there. People just like us. We're trying to help everyone we can," said Sgt. Sherman.
Sevaaetasi says having the active duty soldiers with them makes a big difference.
"It's really helpful and I think it's going to provide a real connection to the veterans in need of services and just seeing the soldier that are taking part and just taking the initiative to be part of this effort so, that way, no soldier, no veterans are left behind," said Sevaaetasi. "That they know once a soldier, always a soldier."
The Army says about 100 homeless veterans were helped by the soldiers on Tuesday.

Free Agents: Manny & I Are A Lot Alike
Here we are, two superstars, both unsigned.
Manny is supposedly asking for too much money; but he deserves a multi-year deal. I am supposedly too nice of a guy; she said I "deserve better" so she dealt.
Manny is quirky; you never know what he's going to do. I am quirky; you know every Saturday afternoon I clean my apartment.
Manny is slow; he looks heavy when he runs. I am slow; I continuously run into and commit to bad relationships knowing they are bad.
Manny is in his thirties; he still has the ability to take charge of a game. I am thirty; I still have the ability to take charge of the game.
Manny plays a crappy left field. I play a crappy left field.
Manny intimidates pitchers. I intimidate women, who are almost as unpredictable as pitchers, so it's virtually the same thing.
Manny will most likely hold out until he finds the right fit.
I think I will too.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Jeff, I could add a few..but that's too easy. If I was to compare myself to any player it would be Randy Johnson. I'll let you think about that one…Mostly because he's big, mean and ugly and has that menacing stare that will make or break you…nice entry…D
It's okay, like I said before, you'll get signed before Manny does. You've got youth on your side, plus a hell of a great blog, and as far as I know, Manny can't write [or speak for that matter] anything worth more than a buck.
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
If you and Manny had a better agent, you would both be signed by now and nesting in your new city. Boras is not looking for where you two will be happiest and most loved, but who will pay the most money for the longest time. Alas, money will not keep you warm at night. Fire the agent! Hire one that can find you a nice club (I mean, girl) and settle down.
Maybe you should give eharmony a shot? It seemed to work for Kobe:)
Apparently the link I posted didn't work. It should be for this article. My html skills are crappy!
I didn't work again! If it doesn't work this time I give up!
Let's see, "Jeffy being Jeffy". Well, it is not as sassy as "Manny being Manny" but what does in life.
Can't see you in anything but a Red jersey, so the Dodgers, Rays, Mariners, Oakland and maybe Pittsburgh is out of the question. But with a little work, I could see you in the Marlins teal………..well, let me think about that one more………sorry Superbowl hangover coming on at 2 a.m.
Just remember, as long as you intimidate women, they will not over run you. Equal footing can get you anywhere with a woman. Only put a woman on a pedestal who is wearing a mini skirt……..just kidding. "Jeffy being Jeffy" it is starting to grow on me.
Rays Renegade
Rather than taking the advice of pick up artists, take the words of Herb Brooks, "play your game." You say it yourself, you're a charismatic genius, there's no doubt in my mind that you deserve someone better than a person who breaks up with you on Facebook.😉 Patience is a virtue, Jeff; do hold out for the right fit.
I can see it. You and Manny are almost the same person… All you need is dreadlocks.
There are a lot of clubs in the league, Jeff. Don't give up just because this one wouldn't sign you to a long term deal.😉
P.S.- I second the call for the dreadlocks, by the way.

(East St. Louis, IL) -- An intergovernmental agreement
between the East St. Louis School Board and the Illinois
State Board of Education will assist the district through
the next fiscal year as it moves toward independent governance.
The East St. Louis School Board approved the agreement
between the district and ISBE Wednesday at a special board
meeting. Under the terms of the agreement, ISBE will dissolve
the current Financial Oversight Panel at the end of this
month, and a new Transition Committee will be put into
place to assist and support the district in maintaining
financial stability and effective management of its operations.
The Financial Oversight Panel will expire in October.
The State Board, however, does have the legal authority
to dissolve the panel earlier. The agreement is scheduled
to be ratified by the State Board of Education at its
June 16th meeting.
This agreement is recognition of the honorable
and worthwhile contributions that the members of the Financial
Oversight Panel have made over the past decade and our
mutual desire for the district to stay on fiscally sound
footing, State Superintendent of Education Robert
Schiller said.
State Board Chair Janet Steiner commended the work of
FOP chairman Richard Mark, and members Ann Duncan and
Saundra Hudson. The tireless efforts and commitment
of these three people can not go unnoticed. They have
worked hard to improve the fiscal condition of the district
and consequently the lives of its students.
Schiller said that State Senator James Clayborne forged
the agreement between the East St. Louis Board of Education
and ISBE. All of us believe that this agreement
represents a solution that ensures that over the next
year we can get the right infrastructure in place so that
the school board can effectively manage the district finances.
We have witnessed a decade filled with great improvements
in the way that finances are managed in the East St. Louis
schools, Clayborne said. The continued success
of the district and our students is far too important
for us to move backward. By investing one year into a
proper transition, we can ensure the continued financial
stability of the district.
After approving the agreement, the East St. Louis Board
of Education Wednesday approved the formation of the Transition
Committee and its members, which will include, State Superintendent
of Education Robert Schiller, Peoria Public Schools District
150 Superintendent Dr. Kay E. Royster and Prairie Hills
School District 144 Superintendent Dr. J. Kay Giles.
A lot of people have worked hard to get where we
are today and it would be a shame if all of their hard
work was for naught, said Schiller. I am proud
to have worked together with the East St. Louis Board
of Education and Senator Clayborne and look forward to
a smooth transition over the next year.
The Transition Committee will play an essential role
in fulfilling the agreement. Its first order of business
will be to consult with the East St. Louis Board of Education
in appointing an Interim Chief Executive Officer. The
CEO will report primarily to the Transition Committee
and secondarily to the East St. Louis School Board. The
CEO will assist in the search for a permanent district
superintendent. The position will run through June 30,
2005 and the appointee may not seek an extension of employment
beyond the transition period.
The Transition Committee will also assist the East St.
Louis School Board in hiring an Interim Deputy Superintendent,
an Interim Chief Financial Officer, and an Interim Internal
Auditor. All the positions are slated to begin July 1,
2004, but unlike the Interim CEO, their employment may
be extended beyond the life of the transition agreement.
The agreement provides that:
Illinois State Board of Education
100 North First Street
Springfield, IL 62777

Course Introduction
This course was designed for and taught to 140 11th and 12th grade civil construction students at the Technical School in Assomada, Cape Verde during the 2008-2009 school year. It is an example of a goal-oriented teaching style for a high school drafting class. The class covers the themes and objectives in the state-required curriculum for the Technical Drafting Course. A revised curriculum can be found at Appendix A and B (in Portuguese). The objective of the class is to learn and draft a house.
Revised Official Course Outline (in Portuguese) [1]
Revised Official Curriculum (in Portuguese) [2]
Annual Course Schedule, School Numbers
The specific dates and number of weeks of each trimester are subject to change. Classes are also subject to unannounced cancellation due to rain, local events and holidays. Thus as a teacher, it is more important to focus more on completing the activity rather than rushing through to finish by a certain date.
1º Trimester – 13 weeks – Mid-September to winter break
2º Trimester – 12 weeks – January to spring break
3º Trimester – 13 weeks – early April to mid-late June
Total 38 weeks
In two years, I taught over 200 students. However, I didn't develop this coursework until my second year. My second year I taught 140 students – seven classes of about 20 students per class. I'd estimate my school had about 1000 students of which about 20% were girls. 40 teachers (estimate) facilitated these 1000 students.
Daily Class Structure
Every class lasts two hours:
First 5 minutes – the teacher writes the date and class summary on the board and takes roll.
Next 15 minutes – the teacher introduces the assignment for the day, discusses the details of the plan, when the plan is due and what the students will be graded on (all of this information is put on the board). If plans are due that day students can turn in papers at this time.
Next 10 minutes – questions, clarifications
Next 5 minutes – hand out paper
Rest of class – work
End of class – thank them for their behavior (if it was good) and hard work (if they worked hard) and repeat when the assignment is due. (Each class works at a different pace – at the end of each class the teacher may make adjustments to the due date).
Required Materials
Students are expected to come to class everyday with a pencil, notebook and a drafting square (this costs about 100 escudos). If students cannot afford or manage their materials, they may share materials. The teacher will provide copies of example plans, research materials and blank A4 paper for drafting (may have to purchase paper and copies out of pocket).
The trimester grade is broken into two test grades (40% each) and one teacher's evaluation grade (20%). Student's grades are submitted and entered into the school database at the end of each trimester. This grade is averaged at the end of the year and summed up for each 11th and 12th grade level, weighed at 45% and 55% respectively. For this course, I took the grades from each drawing depending on the total possible points and divided their grade into two test grades.
Class Grading Example [3]
Late work - For every week the students turn in work late, I deducted 5-10 points from the student's grade. The amount depends on the discretion of the teacher and weight of the assignment.
Classroom Management
20% of student's grades are an OEA grade. This grade measures a student's classroom attendance, participation, preparedness and behavior. Every teacher has a different method of evaluation and all are equally as valid. This method is simple in theory, difficult in practice - tough but fair. Although the school administration believed it was too rigorous, this method was designed to prepare students for the workplace. Reasoning: at a job, if you come late, unprepared or don't behave, you can't effectively do work. The same rules should apply to a classroom:
Students are expected to come to class on-time, with all required materials and behave. If they do this everyday, they will receive a check.
Procedure: At the beginning of each class, the teacher calls roll. If the student is present, he/she receives a check. If they arrive late (<10m mark tardy, after 10m they must wait until the second hour), they receive a zero. Zero indicates zero credit for the day. If the students make no effort to work on the given assignment, they will lose their check and receive a zero for the day. If the students misbehave, they will lose their check and receive a zero for the day.
What constitutes tardiness, non-participation or misbehavior is to be determined by the teacher. The teacher may offer warnings before marking a zero. If non-participation or misbehavior continues after a zero has been issued, the teacher may remove the student from the class.
At the end of each trimester when grades are due, the teacher will count the number of checks each student has and divide by the number of total days he/she took roll. Then the teacher will multiply this ratio by 20. This is the OEA, teacher's evaluation, grade. (See Appendix C – Class Grading Example).
Teaching Style Notes
Everyone's teaching style is different. For this particular class, these are a few style suggestions that helped improve student behavior/performance:
- Learn and use student's names
- Walk up and down the aisles during class to speak with students individually. (This establishes a personal relationship with the students, which improves behavior and overall quality of the work)
- Encourage students to think critically and creatively about their work
- When explaining the assignment, be as detailed or as brief as you feel comfortable
- Try to find a lesson that challenges the quicker students and keeps the slower ones up to speed. Everyday you have to find that balance. Offer/assign extra work to students ahead, walk through assignments with students behind. Pair students of different strengths together, if possible.
- The tighter your lesson plan is (easier it is to understand), the more likely you will have less trouble with misbehavior and the more interested the students will be
- Identify the major idea students should take away from the day/assignment and repeat it frequently
- Repeat daily the importance of taking pride in your work, encourage students to show work to family and friends or to display it on a wall at home,
- Ask them what they want to do when they graduate, try to make thinking about your future cool
- Talk with other professors to see what is normal behavior and not
- Roll with the class, if no one gets it, take a deep breath and slow down
Class Activities
This drafting course is broken down into five separate but related activities – each with a clearly defined project outcome. This way, students are likely to put more effort into their work. Detailed below are each of the projects:
Project 1: Draft map of Santiago to scale 1:1.5
- - Review concept of scale,
- - Remind students about the geography of the island where they live,
- - Teach students to take pride in their work: "Make this map something you want to put on your wall at home."
Methodology: Assignment is attached (increase scale by 1:1.5, A4:A3)[4]
File:Map of santiago.png
Project 2: Draft different views of desk (or other simple object) to scale 1:??
- Review drafting square and legend
- o Dimensions of square
- o Dimensions for and information to be included in legend
- Learn to calculate scale, object dimensions and margins (three steps)
Methodology: Show work for calculating scale, object dimensions and margins for simple object. Draft square/legend and corresponding dimensions, legend information [5].
Project 3: Draft Cámara-approved plan to scale 1:100
- Introduce required plans necessary to draft and approve residential plans at local Cámara
- o Plan introduction (text, for explanation)
- o Site plan, (to show example) [6]
- o Floor plan [7]
- o Roof plan [8]
- o Foundation plan [9]
- o Elevation [10]
- o Cut section, includes stair detail for explanation [11]
- o Perspective [12]
- Practice with line weights
- Practice drawing to scale 1:100
- Practice dimensioning
Methodology: Each attached plan (located at appendices listed above, F.1-F.8) includes a photocopy of a Cámara plan to be used as example and a corresponding blank sheet of paper with grading rubric, square and legend.
Project 4: Research innovative architecture, sketch new house design
- - Learn about new design methods of building houses
- - Brainstorm with students on new ideas, share sketches, have fun but stay focused
- - Sketch new ideas – include swimming pools, libraries, large patios, gardens
Methodology: Review various example pictures/designs on pin drive in folder entitled Innovative architecture research (Appendix G). Teacher may research additional ideas on the Internet or demonstrate/explain new designs on the board. Encourage sketching, new "out of the box" designs.
Project 5: Draft original house plan to scale 1:100
- Draft each plan of the newly designed house to scale, given only a site plan
- o Floor plan
- o Roof plan
- o Foundation plan
- o Elevation
- o Cut section
- o Perspective
- Practice calculating scale, design dimensions, margins
- Practice with line weights
- Practice drawing to scale 1:100
- Practice dimensioning
Methodology: Hand out a blank sheet of paper for each plan. Students are expected to draft the square, legend and calculate the scale, design dimensions and margins for each plan. Grading rubric is to be written on the board (could reflect grading rubric from Cámara plan for each corresponding plan). Students may also use any previous or other student plans as examples.
Project 6: Additional project ideas (untested) (for 12th grade): Draft neighborhood layout, green urban planning, model building.
- - Think critically about new development
o How to utilize space wisely
o Plan for further growth
o How to plan for community gardens, public spaces, local schools, local markets, sport fields, etc
o How to plan the city to adapt to renewable energy plants
o How to use local, cheap materials to build a model of a plan
Methodology: Research and discuss city layout designs (from Internet, local city, additional Cámara plans). Draft neighborhood layout using outline of student houses, additional plans and other communities around your area. (To be researched – Appendix I). Build a cardboard model.

My mother has that very same dishwasher! But she keeps a hundred serving utensils and mismatched food storage containers in hers.
If I didn't live 2000+ miles away, I'd totally hook you up with a photo! :)

dishwasher = waste of water!
dishwasher = dish storage :)
- November 14, 2009 at 6:59 PM
My KMIL = extremely anti-dishwasher usage for dishes. I have never opened hers, but I wouldn't doubt it's a storage area too.
I didn't get a picture of this, but my DH took our son over to his parents' house today, and on the way, saw his dear KM picking dandilions out of people's yards all the way down the street from her house. :)

Everyone knows that dishwashers were made for Tupperware storage! Especially the FREE ones that you get with takeout. Or the ones that kimchi comes in!

Hi Chiyo, wishing you Happy Holidays!
I put a post on my blog referring to your 'it's a boy, let's hang chilies around the house' entry...
- December 28, 2009 at 10:25 PM
I love your blog! My mother would die laughing if she read this. Maybe you could also write about how KM's disregard any sense of privacy when it comes to their children. I don't know if it's just my KM, but I'm pretty sure there are others out there that do this. Especially stuff like, knocking and entering anyway without waiting for a response. Could be sort of related to your entry about snooping...Haha.

WOWWWW dude my house has plastic bags in my dishwasher !! she also keeps a few kitchen utencils in there too LOL
- January 5, 2010 at 1:56 PM
This gave me a good laugh since my non-Korean MIL uses her old dishwasher for the exact same thing. She might be more Korean than I thought.

does your mom use red korean dishwashing gloves? or does she use that only to make kimchi? crazy ladies.. haha.

My mum would like to use the dishwasher but doesn't know how! I've never thought to check inside to see what she stores in there...But I can tell you that she store mail and important paperwork in the oven! Lol!
- January 19, 2010 at 10:56 PM
hahaha--- this is toooooooooo funny!!! I was reading this and noticed a comment that was very familiar and sure enough, it was my sister's comment!! Our aunt does this very same thing-- who is an awesome KM, but seriously-- the dishwasher phobia is a mystery!!!

Sad to say... But my mother does the same thing to her dishwasher. But hers is a bit organized lol. It has the grocery bags, brown paper sacks and her pots and pans lol. She has lived in the states over 35+ years and she has never used a dishwasher.

I died laughing because my mom did the same exact thing until she actually got a new dishwasher. Actually, I haven't opened the new one in a while. I wonder if she's up to her old tricks?

HAHAHA. I laugh only because I am a KM. I didn't think this day was going to come but the cabinet under my kitchen sink looks just like your pic. I don't know what it is about plastic bags... just can't seem to throw them away.

I just want to let you know that my mother has a store, the plastic bags we collect go to her store. It has been like that for years, our American customers say " oh your so green" but I know my KM just doesn't want to buy new bags.

Oh my God, I can't believe it. My mother does exactly the same thing. Old dishwasher stuffed full of plastics bags.
And she prides herself on being so Westernized. ROFL.
She made me do the dishes, of course. :)
(OK, confession time: I stash those plastic bags under my kitchen sink. But at least I use the dishwasher to wash the dishes. In another generation we'll be tossing the bags like they're disposable. Ha.)

My KM-in-law would give this picture the stank eye as her plastic bags are folded with 'hospital corners', a little like the wrapping paper situation you previously mentioned.

Thank you for this site. My KM is everything you have described. Wish I had this 30 years ago!

I found your blog as I looked for stuff on 'how to deal with difficult KMILs'. The dishwasher/plastic bag is too funny!!!! and so true!!!! My MIL never uses her dishwasher and always brings me the used plastic bags from the produce she bought at the Korean market perhaps because she's got too many.
