About the Authors: Maria Otero serves as Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs, Robert Hormats serves as Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs, and Johnnie Carson serves as Assistant Secretary for African Affairs.
Many people know Dikembe Mutombo as one of the greatest shot blockers in NBA history, but fewer know of his efforts to better the lives of those from his native country, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). A serious issue in the DRC and throughout the Great Lakes Region of central Africa is conflict minerals and those that suffer as a result of this illicit trade. This week, we all had a chance to sit down with Mr. Mutombo and his partners from Hewlett-Packard to discuss his work on this critical issue.
Addressing the problem of conflict minerals is a high priority for the State Department. Secretary Clinton highlighted the issue during her August 2009 visit to the DRC, and since then we have been working closely with a range of stakeholders, including industry associations like the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). These groups are working to ensure that metal smelters are conflict-free and support traceability efforts led by the tin industry. EICC and GeSI member companies brought over 100 representatives from the electronics, manufacturing, automotive, and chemical industries to Washington, D.C. to meet with officials from the U.S. and Congolese governments to learn more about these efforts.
We applaud Mr. Mutombo's commitment to improve the situation in the DRC and look forward to working with the many stakeholders in industry, civil society, international institutions, and governments to find solutions to this critical problem.
Together, Under Secretary of State for Democracy and Global Affairs Maria Otero, Under Secretary for Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats, and Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Johnnie Carson have worked for the last year responding to the Secretary's call to address the issue of conflict minerals.Related Content: Ending the Conflict Minerals Trade in the Eastern Congo and Ending the Conflict Minerals Trade

Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006
Section 105:
Authorizes the Secretary to withhold assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, other than humanitarian, peacekeeping, and counterterrorism assistance, for a foreign country determined by the Secretary to be acting to destabilize the DRC.
So where are those sanctions?
Dominic Johnson argues that because of the failure to include the Congolese people in crucial debate on 'their' issues, the international community has made a serious error of judgment in not recognizing that the situation in the east of the DRC goes beyond just a presumed squabble over minerals and raises fundamental questions of the structuring of state power which have to be taken into account by anyone hoping to work with the Congolese state in order to reform the Congolese mining sector.
The Conflict Minerals narrative leaves the public believing that the Congo's problems are rebel groups that brutally rape women to control lucrative mines. When in fact the source of Congo's challenge has been the attempt by the West to weaken this wealthy and strategically important country through wars, invasions, assassinations and propping up of dictators.
Rwanda is a top buyer of Congo's conflict minerals according to Bloomberg News, and Uganda is building a refinery ostensibly to refine conflict minerals from Congo - but the US has said or done nothing about their allies.
The US continues to give both countries aid, military equipment and training. And shockingly, Conflict Minerals advocates are silent about a main buyer of conflict tin.
According to Dow Jones news, Rwanda stands to make $200 million in 2010 from Tin, Tantalum & Tungsten, none of which it has in large quantities but rather secures these conflict minerals from the Congo. Yet, the conflict minerals advocates are deadly silent. Why?

Objective Variables
Objective variables are defined to construct an objective function. The objective function is a summation of all variables that are designated as objective-type. Variables are defined as objective function contributions by starting with obj. Thus, the variables obj1, objective, object[1] would be included in the objective function summation.
Additionally, slack variables are included in the objective function. These variables begin with the key letters slk and are defined with a lower bound of zero.
Minimize vs. Maximize
The objective function is always minimized with APMonitor. Objective function maximization is accomplished by defining a new variable that is the negative of the minimized objective.
! Example model with an objective function Model example Parameters p1 = 5 End Parameters Variables objective v1 > 6 End Variables Equations objective = (v1 - p1)^2 End Equations End Model
Solution p1 = 5 v1 = 6 objective = 1

The Starfish Thrower
Dennis Cady '66 makes a global impact with missions, humanitarian work
After 25 years of horrific civil war, the African nation of South Sudan was born in 2011. Peace is being reestablished in the region, but the area is in a humanitarian crisis.
People are returning from refugee camps to find no roads, no schools, no power or sewer infrastructure for most of the country. Access to healthcare and clean water are inadequate. Many are still vulnerable to attack, especially on the borders of the new country.
While some would see only the heartbreak and challenge of this area, Dennis Cady '66 sees something else: opportunity.
Dennis Cady '66 and partner Chuck Dennis with friends in South Sudan
"There are few creature comforts there, but the people are wonderful," he says. "They've been beaten down by war, lived in refugee camps, and they've developed a meekness and a gentleness."
Cady, a long time missionary, minister, and businessman, was looking for a new location where he could invest his time and talents. "I don't mind going places that are a little bit dangerous, a little bit dirty. Places where other people say, 'I couldn't go there!'" he says. "I like to pioneer new things. I like a challenge."
On his initial visit to South Sudan, "We saw every kind of need," he says. The greatest needs were for clean water, healthcare, and education.
Cady knew these people needed one other thing: the Gospel message.
Children in South Sudan
"I am a big proponent of combining humanitarian work and church planting," says Cady, who has been a part of such efforts in Malaysia, Indonesia, Haiti, and the Philippines.
Cady has visited South Sudan several times and is currently in the process of building a school in Jonglei, the largest state in the country, where the government has given him and his partner in this work, Chuck Dennis, six acres of prime real estate.
The proposed boarding school will teach vocational skills, such as tailoring and welding. They will also teach the Bible.
Cady says he sometimes hears the question, "Is it really the work of the church to teach people to weld?" His response: yes! If providing a means for a person to make a living and bless others also provides the opportunity to teach him the Gospel, there is no better work for the church to undertake.
Cady working with children in Haitian orphanage
There must be a balance, though, Cady says. "We don't want to tend to the body and not the soul. Any [church] work in a country where severe poverty is a way of life should have aid as a part of the program of work."
Cady has big plans for the school, which will house 70 students and eventually grow to 140. Students will be charged a small amount for tuition so that they will be invested in their studies, however much of the cost of their education will be underwritten by donors.
The school will admit students in their 20s and 30s from each of the six tribes in the area and encourage as much intermingling as possible. Cady hopes this will break down walls of prejudice created over generations and lead to greater harmony and stability in the nation.
Students will return home with practical skills and the knowledge that neighboring tribes are not their enemies. Cady hopes that the students will also carry the Gospel with them back to their homes, opening the door for church planting in villages throughout the country.
Cady's missionary zeal was ignited during his years at York College. He came to YC in 1964 with plans to major in business. Instead, he became a Christian, majored in Bible, and was one of the first students to be sent out by the Master's Apprentice Program. Since that time, his missionary journeys have taken him all around the globe.
There was a great missions emphasis on campus when Cady was at YC, he says. Missionaries who were spiritual giants to Cady spoke often on campus and lit a fire in students. "A number of us went to the mission field," he says.
He recently completed his memoir "Go Ye Meant Go Me: The Missionary Experiences of Dennis Cady." The book follows Cady's adventures in foreign fields, but it also challenges the reader with some of Cady's hot button topics about mainstream Christianity. Cady has a big problem with churches that invest in lavish buildings and "ten talent preachers," but say they can't afford to support mission work.
There's nothing wrong having a nice building and a gifted preacher, but we must remember that those comforts are a means to an end and not an end to itself, he says.
Cady with young friend at a Haitian orphanage
"I am deeply concerned that the church in America is so selfish. It's about me and about us," says Cady, who predicts that on the Day of Judgment we will be called to account for Jesus' words in Matthew 25:
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in…Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
"We will be asked, 'Did you do that?'" says Cady.
Cady operates as director of his own non-profit organization, the Starfish Foundation. The organization's name comes from the story about the boy walking along a beach throwing starfish back into the water before they dry out and die. When someone points out that he can't possibly make a difference, there were just too many starfish, the boy throws another starfish and responds, "I made a difference to that one."
Cady and partner Chuck Dennis studying with friends in South Sudan
One such starfish is a man named Aguer, a guide that was helping Cady travel in South Sudan on his first trip. As they traversed the country, "we started talking about his soul," says Cady. "He was just hungry for information."
They studied together and two days later Aguer obeyed the Gospel and was baptized in the Nile River. There are crocodiles and hippos in the Nile, says Cady. They take the confession on the bank, baptize as quickly as possible in the water, and then get back out fast!
Today Aguer is overseeing the construction of the school in Jonglei. He is also teaching the Gospel to others in the community.

Hughton coy on transfers
Chris Hughton admits he will have to be mindful of Norwich's current strong work ethic when he considers adding to the squad in the January transfer window.
- Related Content
The Canaries have flown up to seventh in the Barclays Premier League after extending their unbeaten run to 10 matches with a 2-1 win over Wigan at Carrow Road on Saturday.
The club have been linked with a January move for Brighton striker Craig Mackail-Smith and midfield team-mate Liam Bridcutt.
However, Hughton wants any new player to buy into the ethos of the current squad, which has now kicked on again following the departure of former manager Paul Lambert to Aston Villa.
"Of course if you can strengthen your team you will look to do it, but it is not as easy as that," Hughton said. "We have a real competitive group and a strong squad who are all fighting.
"Sometimes players who you might think can strengthen your team, it is not the best time to do that in January.
"We will look at it, but if you are asking me will we definitely bring in, then I don't know."
Norwich produced the required response from their midweek 4-1 home Capital One Cup defeat by Villa to record a fifth straight Premier League win at Carrow Road.
But Hughton knows if his side do not maintain their excellent work rate, the next three fixtures - away to West Brom and at home to Chelsea then Manchester City - may not bring much festive cheer.
"Every match is still tough for us and we have to be on top of our game to win," Hughton said.
"We know we have to be disciplined in every performance and everything has to be based on a real hard-working team ethic.
"At some stage we will not be able to continue this run because, for a team like us, it is impossible
"But at the moment, we are in good form and giving everything to get a result. If you can do that, then you always have a chance."
Winger Anthony Pilkington continued his good goalscoring form to set Norwich on their way against the Latics.
The 24-year-old is hopeful of gaining international clearance to represent the Republic of Ireland next year, having played for the under-21s in October 2008, and was watched last weekend by current assistant manager Marco Tardelli.
He said: "I have had a call off them and I am just sorting out the papers at the moment.
"It depends what happens with the next game, which I think is February. I've just got to sort the papers out and take it from there.
"My grandma originates from Ireland - she's from Dublin - so I am more than happy to play for them if selected."
Hughton will monitor the fitness of captain Grant Holt ahead of Saturday's trip to The Hawthorns after the striker picked up a hamstring problem during the closing stages against Wigan.
"It's a concern and a bad time, but it's not right to speak about it in bad terms when we don't really know," Hughton told BBC Norfolk. "Hopefully Grant will be okay. If not, then the competition within the side continues."
Meanwhile, Norwich today announced a new three-year partnership with the American global brand management experts Front Row Marketing Services.
Chief executive David McNally said: "Their depth of experience and expertise in the field of sports brand development and marketing on a global scale will continue to help us to meet our objectives of significantly expanding Norwich City's global footprint."

(reopens) Norwich's on-loan Tottenham striker Harry Kane, meanwhile, stepped up his recovery from a broken metatarsal with a run-out for the Under-21s, scoring twice in the 3-1 win over West Ham.
The 19-year-old had made just two appearances for Norwich before he suffered the injury against Doncaster in the Capital One Cup at the end of September.
Kane now has his sights set on a return to contention ahead of the hectic festive schedule.
"I had a good 10 weeks rehab back at Spurs and the main thing is just to be back playing, there are no problems now so it is just about getting as many minutes as I can and then pushing on into the first team," Kane said on Canaries Player.
"Everything feels good, we will just have to wait and see how long it is now before I am back.
"The team's on fire and the lads are doing great."

Shaking, baking and order-taking are the three parts to life at Garrett Popcorn Shops®. After a near disaster with cooking, I returned to the Shop to try my hand as a "shaker." Shakers are the people who scoop, shake and package the Garrett Popcorn until it's distributed into fan-favorite, Chicago Mix®, which started when customers suggested combining CaramelCrisp® and CheeseCorn for a sweet and savory blend. We were inspired by fans.
To learn the art of shaking, I watched an experienced Garrett Shaker weave CheeseCorn through CaramelCrisp® with a few flicks of the wrist, followed by a fold and cinch to seal the Bag. Her dexterous fingers made the process appear deceptively easy. Sadly, my attempts to mimic her movements did not lead to the same results.
It became especially clear that I was new to shaking when I tried over and over to make a crisp fold. A polite gentleman waited patiently until the ordeal became too comical for him not to laugh. I joined in his chuckling and sheepishly passed the Bag to more experienced hands.
Customers personalize orders of Chicago Mix according to their palate. Some opt for more CaramelCrisp® while others choose to go heavy on the CheeseCorn. Either way, my fellow Shakers were happy to oblige all mixing requests which they shook skillfully regardless of caramel to cheese ratio. Our Chicago Mix is undoubtedly the most popular, but some still prefer to get separate Bags in order to "mix their own and then fight about it," as one woman told me. I asked her if there was any sharing involved; she responded with a wily smirk.
Throughout the day, I listened to customers tell numerous stories about Garrett Popcorn in their lives. A married couple who shares everything except for Garrett Popcorn, a mom buying a Jumbo Bag of CheeseCorn for an after-school surprise, Russian tourists sharing their first tastes of Garrett — all of these moments contributed to the warmth I experienced in the Shop. I had intended to perfect my skills as a Shaker, but the most valuable thing I learned was that the people, on both sides of the counter, are the true heart of Garrett Popcorn Shops®.

Our InformationWeek 2012 Antivirus and Anti-malware Vendor Evaluation Survey asked 386 IT professionals to gauge their impressions of AV/anti-malware vendors. We asked respondents to only rank vendors they've used or evaluated within the past 12 months. The core of our survey asked two sets of questions: one focused on overall vendor performance, including price, general performance and product reliability, and the other focused on product-specific features such as virus and malware detection and removal.
Our respondents rated nine vendors. Kaspersky Lab and Sophos earned the highest ranking for overall performance, closely followed by Avast Software and Malwarebytes. Note that only six percentage points separated the leaders from the last-place finisher, Trend Micro. Kaspersky and Sophos also took the top two spots for AV/anti-malware features. The spread was wider here, with 10 points separating first and last place. While smaller players took top honors, brand name vendors still dominate IT's radar. When we asked respondents to select up to three vendors they use, or have used or evaluated in the past 12 months, 42% said Symantec and 36% said McAfee. Compare that to 10% of respondents who use or have used or evaluated Kaspersky. It's clear that brand names resonate with IT, but there's ample opportunity for smaller players to grab a bigger slice of the market. This report analyzes the survey results, provides some product evaluation and purchase advice, and highlight changes in the threat landscape in the ongoing arms race between cyber vandals and anti-malware developers.

Survey Date December 2011
Region North America
Number of Respondents 386
Purpose To determine preference for vendors supplying endpoint antivirus and anti-malware software to enterprise IT organizations.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.
Many people who go through traumatic events have difficulty adjusting and coping for a while, but they don't have PTSD — with time and good self-care, they usually get better. But if the symptoms get worse or last for months or even years and interfere with your functioning, you may have PTSD.
Getting effective treatment after PTSD symptoms develop can be critical to reduce symptoms and improve function.
Post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms may start within three months of a traumatic event, but sometimes symptoms may not appear until years after the event. These symptoms cause significant problems in social or work situations and in relationships.
PTSD symptoms are generally grouped into four types: intrusive memories, avoidance, negative changes in thinking and mood, or changes in emotional reactions.
Symptoms of intrusive memories may include:
Symptoms of avoidance may include:
Symptoms of negative changes in thinking and mood may include:
Symptoms of changes in emotional reactions (also called arousal symptoms) may include:
PTSD symptoms can vary in intensity over time. You may have more PTSD symptoms when you're stressed in general, or when you run into reminders of what you went through. For example, you may hear a car backfire and relive combat experiences. Or you may see a report on the news about a sexual assault and feel overcome by memories of your own assault.
If you have disturbing thoughts and feelings about a traumatic event for more than a month, if they're severe, or if you feel you're having trouble getting your life back under control, talk to your health care professional. Get treatment as soon as possible to help prevent PTSD symptoms from getting worse.
If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, get help right away through one or more of these resources:
If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.
If you know someone who's in danger of committing suicide or has made a suicide attempt, make sure someone stays with that person. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Or, if you can do so safely, take the person to the nearest hospital emergency room.
You can develop post-traumatic stress disorder when you go through, see or learn about an event involving actual or threatened death, serious injury or sexual violation.
Doctors aren't sure why some people get PTSD. As with most mental health problems, PTSD is probably caused by a complex mix of:
People of all ages can have post-traumatic stress disorder. However, some factors may make you more likely to develop PTSD after a traumatic event, such as:
The most common events leading to the development of PTSD include:
Many other traumatic events also can lead to PTSD, such as fire, natural disaster, mugging, robbery, car accident, plane crash, torture, kidnapping, life-threatening medical diagnosis, terrorist attack, and other extreme or life-threatening events.
Post-traumatic stress disorder can disrupt your whole life: your job, your relationships, your health and your enjoyment of everyday activities.
Having PTSD also may increase your risk of other mental health problems, such as:
If you think you may have post-traumatic stress disorder, make an appointment with your primary care provider or a mental health provider. Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment, and what to expect.
Before your appointment, make a list of:
Take a trusted family member or friend along, if possible. Sometimes it can be difficult to remember all the information provided to you.
Make a list of questions to ask so you can make the most of your appointment. For PTSD, some basic questions include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions anytime you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Be ready to answer them to reserve time to go over any points you want to focus on. Your doctor may ask:
Post-traumatic stress disorder is diagnosed based on signs and symptoms and a thorough psychological evaluation. Your health care provider will likely ask you to describe your signs and symptoms and the event that led up to them. You may also have a physical exam to check for medical problems.
To be diagnosed with PTSD, you must meet criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Diagnosis of PTSD requires exposure to an event that involved or held the threat of death, violence or serious injury. Your exposure can happen in one or more of these ways:
You experience one or more of the following signs or symptoms after the traumatic event:
In addition, for more than one month after the traumatic event you may:
Your symptoms cause significant distress in your life or interfere with your ability to go about your normal daily tasks.
For children younger than 6 years old, signs and symptoms may include:
Post-traumatic stress disorder treatment can help you regain a sense of control over your life. The primary treatment is psychotherapy, but often includes medication. Combining these treatments can help improve your symptoms, teach you skills to address your symptoms, help you feel better about yourself and learn ways to cope if any symptoms arise again.
Psychotherapy and medications can also help you if you've developed other problems related to your traumatic experience, such as depression, anxiety, or misuse of alcohol or drugs. You don't have to try to handle the burden of PTSD on your own.
Several types of psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, may be used to treat children and adults with PTSD. Some types of psychotherapy used in PTSD treatment include:
All these approaches can help you gain control of lasting fear after a traumatic event. You and your health care professional can discuss what type of therapy or combination of therapies may best meet your needs.
You may try individual therapy, group therapy or both. Group therapy can offer a way to connect with others going through similar experiences.
Several types of medications can help improve symptoms of PTSD:
You and your doctor can work together to figure out the best treatment, with the fewest side effects, for your symptoms and situation. You may see an improvement in your mood and other symptoms within a few weeks.
Tell your health care professional about any side effects or problems with medications. You may need to try more than one or a combination of medications, or your doctor may need to adjust your dosage or medication schedule before finding the right fit for you.
If stress and other problems caused by a traumatic event affect your life, see your health care professional. You also can take these actions as you continue with treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder:
The person you love may seem like a different person than you knew before the trauma — angry and irritable, for example, or withdrawn and depressed. PTSD can significantly strain the emotional and mental health of loved ones and friends.
Hearing about the trauma that led to your loved one's PTSD may be painful for you and even cause you to relive difficult events. You may find yourself avoiding his or her attempts to talk about the trauma or feeling hopeless that your loved one will get better. At the same time, you may feel guilty that you can't fix your loved one or hurry up the process of healing.
Remember that you can't change someone. However, you can:
After surviving a traumatic event, many people have PTSD-like symptoms at first, such as being unable to stop thinking about what's happened. Fear, anxiety, anger, depression, guilt — all are common reactions to trauma. However, the majority of people exposed to trauma do not develop long-term post-traumatic stress disorder.
Getting support can help you recover. This may mean turning to family and friends who will listen and offer comfort. It may mean seeking out a mental health provider for a brief course of therapy. Some people may also find it helpful to turn to their faith community.
Getting timely help and support may prevent normal stress reactions from getting worse and developing into PTSD. Support from others may also help prevent you from turning to unhealthy coping methods, such as misuse of alcohol or drugs.

Space Race: 20th Century Timeline and Firsts
Humanity has been interested in space exploration for hundreds of years but it was only in the 20th century that it became physically possible. During this time, we built rockets, spaceships and space shuttles and both the first animals and humans reached space. By the late 1960s, we had landed on the moon. As we continue our space exploration in the new millennium, we are going farther and farther than we've ever been before in our search for knowledge about the worlds and universes beyond. In this WatchMojo.com video, we learn more about the history of space exploration.

As we head head into the final weekend of spring before movie summer kicks into high gear, it might be a good time to catch up with some of the releases that will soon be evicted from theaters by "Iron Man 2" and the tentpoles that follow. This week's new offerings are thin to say the least, unless you have a fondness for Freddy.
Jackie Earle Haley parlays his Oscar nomination for "Little Children" and roles in "Watchmen" and "Shutter Island" into the presumably lucrative gig of wearing Freddy Krueger's hat. Haley takes over Robert Englund's nasty habit of scaring the sleep out of teens and slashing them to bits with bladed glove. Rooney Mara and Kyle Gallner head the cast of preyed upon young 'uns who desperately try to stay awake to avoid Freddy. Wesley Strick and Eric Heisserer are credited with adapting Wes Craven's 1984 original. Veteran commercial and music video director Samuel Bayer (Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit") makes his feature debut.
For a horror movie to even be screened for critics is a bit unusual, but "Nightmare" took the challenge with mixed to poor results. EW's Owen Gleiberman had high hopes for this revival, especially with the casting of Haley, and rates it above the rest of the horror reboot wannabes, but ultimately, he's disappointed by the slick, "by-the-numbers" rendering. A.O. Scott of the New York Times credits the filmmakers with returning to the spirit of Craven's version rather than some of the campier successors, but also cites the "overly familiar scare tactics." Other critics report that Freddy has been declawed and made generic with Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News laying the blame on writers Strick and Heisserer, calling the remake a "bludgeoning" of the original.
From a business standpoint, a horror remake is the perfect film to release this weekend as it will be one-and-done once IM2 lands. According to B.O. pundits, "Nightmare" should easily win the weekend, raking in approximately $30 million, but will likely fall short of the $40m+ earned by New Line's last horror relaunch, "Friday the 13th."
You can never really be sure when congenial star Brendan Fraser's career has bottomed out, but this would seem to be a likely candidate. The actor plays dorky a real estate developer whose supposedly "green" housing tract tears into a forest and encounters the […]

MC senior to show documentary about Tellico Dam history
MC senior to show documentary about Tellico Dam history
May 9, 2013

Emily Julian '13 will host a screening of her documentary short, "Tellico Dam: The Last Stand" on Tues., May 14 in the Clayton Center for the Arts' Harold and Jean Lambert Recital Hall.
The screening, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 6 p.m. A brief discussion and Q&A session will follow.
The documentary is part of her Senior Study, which looks at the history of the Tellico Dam, "mainly focusing on the unfair treatment of those forced to relocate due to the flooding of the Tellico Reservoir," said Julian, who is majoring in art/photography.
Earlier this month, Julian showed a preview of her documentary during her senior exhibition, which also included six 11x17-inch digital prints portraying important scenes and participants of the projects.
Julian originally became interested in the issue of hydroelectric dams during a trip to Chile with other MC students and faculty, where she interviewed the indigenous Mapuche people about their experiences of relocating from their homeland due to the flooding of a reservoir from hydroelectric dams, including Ralco Dam.
"One facet of the research project was to draw comparisons between the happenings of the Tellico Dam and the Ralco Dam," Julian explained. "Upon returning to Maryville, the research of the Tellico Dam interested me enough to know that I wanted to complete my Senior Study on this topic. When hearing that there had not been a significant film completed on this history, I knew I had to capture the stories of these people and this land before they faded too deep for anyone to remember them."
Julian, who is from Powell, Tenn., graduated from Clinton High School in 2009. She is the daughter of Phil and Julie Julian.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation. Total enrollment for the fall 2016 semester is 1,197.

In the oil patch
BISMARCK North Dakota has set a new all-time high in oil production of 782,812 barrels of oil per day.
March was the eighth month in a row that North Dakota produced more than 700,000 barrels of oil per day and the 782,812 barrels sets a new all-time monthly record.
The North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources released the new monthly oil production figures and other data Wednesday. The data released this week is preliminary.
The state also set new all-time high records in gas production and producing wells in March: 846,906 MCF per day in gas production and 8,634 producing wells.
As of Wednesday, 194 rigs were actively drilling in the oil patch.
Lynn Helms, director of the N.D. Department of Mineral Resources in Bismarck, said in his monthly report "Director's Cut," that March weather was much worse than February with three major storms. He said the drilling rig count increased slightly but the number of well completions dropped by 30, to 140. He said the number of completions is above the threshold needed to maintain production so oil production rose slightly, up 0.5 percent from February.
Helms said operators are gradually picking up the pace as summer weather begins while continuing to push higher efficiency and cost-cutting measures.
He said uncertainty surrounding the federal policies on taxation and hydraulic fracturing regulation continue to make capital acquisition more difficult, but the new U.S. Geological Survey recoverable reserve estimate has bolstered confidence in the long term.
The U.S. Geological Survey announced April 30 that the Bakken and Three Forks Formations in North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana have about 7.4 billion barrels of undiscovered and technically recoverable oil.
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., said the upper end of the estimate is 11.4 billion barrels.
The assessment of both formations, the largest unconventional oil resource the U.S. Geological Survey has ever assessed, is more than twice the previous estimate of 3.65 billion barrels for just the Bakken Formation which was identified in a 2008 assessment.
Helms said in his monthly report that more than 95 percent of the drilling continues to target the Bakken and Three Forks formations.
He said crude oil take-away capacity continues to be adequate as long as rail deliveries to the coasts keep growing.
Helms noted the number of rigs actively drilling on federal surface in the Dakota Prairie Grasslands remains at four.
He said the number of rigs drilling on the Fort Berthold Reservation is down by one, to 26 with five on fee land (land not held in trust by the federal government) and 21 on trust land. Fort Berthold now has 875 active wells producing 150,959 barrels of oil per day, he said. He said 170 wells on Fort Berthold are waiting for completion, 287 drilling permits have been approved and there are 2,477 potential future wells.
Helms said leasing activity is very slow and what is under way is mostly renewals and top leases in the Bakken-Three Forks area.
According to the state summary report, McKenzie County had the highest number of wells actually producing and capable of producing during March 1,760 and 2,010, respectively, followed by Mountrail County, 1,543 and 1,608, respectively; Williams County, 1,288 and 1,395, respectively; and Dunn County, 1,049, and 1,106, respectively.
Other counties with fewer than 1,000 producing and capable of producing wells in March listed in the report include Billings, 487, 604; Bottineau, 521, 606; Bowman, 482, 579; Burke, 461, 545; Divide, 432, 464; Golden Valley, 84, 93; McHenry, 10, 17; McLean, 47, 56; Mercer, 1, 1; Renville, 266, 304; Slope, 18, 19; Stark, 173, 195; and Ward, 12, 22.

chickenparm, not sure if you know this but they make three kinds of 6in1, one thats extra chunky (for the chicago market), one thats got the peels, and one that doesn't have the peels.
Chau, I've recently been introduced to their 7/11 ground tomatoes and LOVE LOVE LOVE them. They are bright with a very strong tomato flavor. Absolutely delicious.
Ronzo,How are those made?Is it in heavy puree?Heavy Tomato skins or peels present? Would love to try them myself someday.
Ron, sounds like they are the same high quality tomatoes as the Tomato magic. Stanislaus' thick pizza sauces like Superdolce and Saporito are a much better value b/c they can be diluted down quite a bit, being that they are so thick. BUT for home use and as cheap as some of these products can be I don't think I would mind using either 7/11 or the tomato magic as my goto sauce or base. Chau
scott r,Can you hazard a guess as to which Stanislaus product is used to make the pizzas discussed in the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lxLBp4-8dE?Peter

The historic villas of Lucca allow you to create one of the most interesting and fascinating itineraries that can be designed in the Tuscan territory.
Among the most important, there is certainly the Torregiani one, located in the municipality of Capannori, dating from the mid-sixteenth century. It is one of the most luxurious, characterized primarily by the baroque facade, much thanks to the use of polychromatic stone gray, yellow tuff, white marble and ochre plaster.
The historic villas of the Lucca area, bathe in art: The magic and elegance of our Resort in Tuscany goes well with the enchanting gardens, upscale ambiance and unique style of princely houses, visitable from March to November.
Like the Grabau in San Pancrazio, a typical mansion of the aristocracy. It strikes the visitor for its beautiful outside, rich in vegetation geometrically pruned, the mosaic decorations, the wall fountains and the central circular pool.
Villa Marlia is also one of the most famous of the surroundings. Surrounded by a large park and a garden, it is full of beauty: the clock house, the pond, the fountain spray and the Grotto of Pan.

As worldwide outrage continues over the killing of a healthy giraffe in Denmark on Sunday, Jack Hanna has raised more than $100,000 to bring a second Danish giraffe threatened with slaughter to Ohio.
Hanna, emeritus director of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, said yesterday that it took him just three phone calls to raise the money after he heard on Wednesday that the Jyllands Park zoo in Denmark might kill a healthy giraffe in its care.
He said the Wilds animal preserve in Muskingum County, which the Columbus Zoo oversees, has 9,000 acres and plenty of room to house more than the six giraffes it has now.
"No matter what kind of living creatures you have in a zoo, there's a responsibility for zookeepers to take care of them throughout their lifetime," Hanna said. "If we don't do that, we shouldn't have zoos."
On Sunday, the Copenhagen Zoo killed a 2-year-old giraffe that had been born there. Veterinarians shot the giraffe in the head with a bolt pistol — the type used in slaughterhouses — then cut it up in front of visitors and fed parts of it to lions.
Zoo officials said the giraffe's genes were not needed; they turned down opportunities to move the giraffe elsewhere and said allowing visitors to watch it being cut up was educational.
Hanna's passionate speeches and interviews about the giraffe's death apparently convinced the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, a worldwide organization with more than 6,000 members, to rethink a bland statement it released on Monday that neither condemned nor supported the Copenhagen Zoo's actions.
In a statement yesterday, the association said its accredited zoos exchange animals and manage breeding so animals are not born that can't be cared for throughout their lifetimes. Unneeded animals are not killed, the statement said.
The Jyllands Park zoo said on its Facebook page yesterday that it might have to euthanize one of its two male giraffes if it obtains a "genetically more valuable" animal and can't find a new home for the unneeded giraffe.
The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria, which supported the Copenhagen Zoo's actions, said it would not support killing one of the Jyllands Park giraffes.
Columbus Zoo director Tom Stalf said yesterday that what happened in Copenhagen should never happen again.
"There are so many other options," he said.
The Columbus Zoo, for example, has 11 giraffes: eight castrated males, one male for breeding and two females. Plans already are in place to house any offspring produced by breeding.
"When you plan, you can ensure that you're giving the animals in your care great care and long lives," Stalf said.
"I'm encouraging the zoos in Denmark to manage their population and know where the offspring is going to go before putting a male and a female together."
In the meantime, Hanna said, plans for a Siberian tiger from the Copenhagen Zoo to come to the Columbus Zoo for breeding have been put on hold.
"I want no involvement with anyone (from that zoo) if this kind of killing is practiced," he said.
He said he has not yet talked to Jyllands Park officials about how much it might cost to buy the giraffe, but he plans to set up a fund to save any giraffes threatened with slaughter at zoos.
"I'm going to put in a nice amount to start the whole thing," he said.
For now, he said, people can donate to the Columbus Zoo and indicate what their donations are for.
"We have a responsibility to these animals to breed them and watch their gene pool, but we don't have the right to shoot the animal and say that's educational," he said.
"It's a sad thing to think that human beings betrayed that beautiful giraffe. As long as I'm alive, I'll do everything I can to stop it."

Five New Reactor Designs
Under Review by the U.S.
Most experts don't expect a new reactor operating in the U.S. before late 2016 or early 2017.technologies – pressurized water reactors and boiling water — have been around since the start of the nuclear power era. (In a pressurized water reactor, superheated water is pumped under high pressure to the reactor core; the heated water then transfers its thermal energy to a secondary steam system that turns a turbine to generate electricity. In a boiling water reactor, the water is injected directly into the core, creating a water-steam mixture that turns the turbine. Most reactors in the U.S. are pressurized water reactors.)
One reason utilities are committing to new construction is to snag financial inducements from Washington.Hill and in the White House as key to combating climate change. That has created the curious situation in which utilities have announced plans to build reactors from specific vendors before they know everything about what they're buying. Part of the reason utilities are committing to new construction now is to snag attractive financial inducements from Washington that are being offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
When risks from external events are factored in, the new reactors are no safer than older ones.learning curve of building new reactors again." (There have been no new reactor construction starts since 1977.)

Weighing in on everything from President Barack Obama's handling of the crisis in Libya to rising federal debt to his own Christian faith then wrapping it all up with a performance on the bass guitar, Gov. Mike Huckabee wowed a record crowd at MC's spring scholarship banquet.
Close to 700 guests were on hand when Gov. Huckabee took the stage as the guest speaker at the annual banquet on March 28. The former Arkansas governor and 2008 presidential candidate recently announced that he will not make a second run at the White House.
"I don't need the presidential race to have a platform," the former Baptist preacher said. "Whether voters like me or not, I'm more interested in the evaluation I receive from Almighty God. I want to hear six words – well done, good and faithful servant."
Gov. Huckabee mixed humor with his political message at MC's annual scholarship event, which attracted a record crowd, including 1st District U.S. Representative and MC trustee Alan Nunnelee, 3rd District U.S. Representative Gregg Harper, Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann, and Hinds Community College President Clyde Muse.
While he worries about what America's rising debt will mean for future generations and remains troubled by how President Obama is managing the economy and global issues, Huckabee is upbeat about the nation's future, saying, "I'm not a gloom and doomer." During a question and answer session, Huckabee also offered insights on issues ranging from energy to the need to revamp the nation's tax system. Gov. Huckabee delighted the MC crowd by showing off his guitar-playing talents, performing with the Chris Derrick Group.
This year's banquet raised more than $286,000 for scholarships at MC. Since 2008, the annual event has generated more than $1 million.
The event is a key part of Mississippi College's $80 million "Growing the Vision" campaign, which will wrap up with a celebration during the Mississippi College Homecoming weekend in October 2011.
With another renowned speaker and a record crowd on hand, MC Trustee Bill Sones was delighted to see the series he helped launch become such a success, saying, "This banquet has become a meaningful part of life at Mississippi College."

Secretary Clinton and Pakistani Foreign Minister Mahmood Qureshi participated in the U.S.-Pakistan Dialogue Plenary Session on Friday, October 22, 2010. The ministerial-level Strategic Dialogue represents the commitment of the U.S. and Pakistan to strengthening the bilateral relationship as a broad partnership based on shared democratic values, mutual respect, trust, and interests. This third round of the Dialogue provides an opportunity for nine of the working groups to review progress to date in such critical sectors as communications and public diplomacy, water, energy, health, law enforcement and counter-terrorism, economic development, and women's empowerment, as well as to discuss flood recovery and reconstruction plans.
Secretary Clinton said, "In March, we came together in this Strategic Dialogue to discuss how to help the Pakistani people in the areas that Pakistani people themselves had identified as their most important concerns. We actually thought we would try something different in the history of our relationship, and that is listening to each other and learning from each other. And in July, we announced a series of signature projects in water and electricity. This week, we are going even further with new agreements to cooperate on projects ranging from building dams and water storage systems to expanding national radio coverage.
"In the time since we last met, one event, however, has dominated all of our work together -- the horrible floods of this summer, which covered more than one-fifth of the entire country and affected more than 20 million people. The American people were deeply saddened by the loss of life; the destruction of so many homes, farms, and businesses; and the long-term damage to Pakistan's infrastructure and economy."
The Secretary sent a special message for the people of Pakistan, "We have stood with you, and we will keep standing with you to help you not just cope with the aftermath of the floods, but to get back on the path to prosperity.
"The United States was very proud working with the Pakistani Government and military to help with the rescue operations and to help pick up thousands and thousands of stranded Pakistanis and to deliver millions of pounds of refugee supplies, as well as $390 million in relief and recovery aid. But we know there is so much more work to be done. And we know that in some places, aid has yet to arrive and millions of people are still homeless. But we are working closely with the Government of Pakistan and our international partners, and we will continue to do all we can to help you."
Secretary Clinton spoke about the action plan that each of 13 working groups has now finalized, including plans to immunize children against disease and improve the reliability of electricity supply to the Pakistani people. She said, "These plans are already being put into action. For example, the working group on energy devised a plan to shore up the country's existing energy infrastructure and develop new sources of power. Since we last met, we have ordered the equipment for four power plants. And we will soon complete a public-private partnership that will build a 150-megawatt wind farm in Sindh Province to tap the enormous potential of the winds that blow down the Pakistani coast. And as these projects come on line, we will look to the Pakistani Government to implement systematic reform of their energy sector.
"Working groups have also been involved in collaborating on new scientific projects, in fact, 27 new projects, including research on deadly diseases like hepatitis and tuberculosis with joint funding from both governments. And tomorrow, six water experts from Pakistani provinces will visit New Orleans to study the flood relief and reconstruction after Hurricane Katrina. We hope that Pakistan can benefit from the painful lessons that we have learned, and the efforts we have made to rebuild a great city.
"Finally, we are also cooperating on military matters. And I want to say publicly what many of us have said privately: The United States has no stronger partner when it comes to counterterrorism efforts against the extremists who threaten us both than Pakistan. We recognize and appreciate the sacrifice and service that the men and women, particularly the soldiers of the military in Pakistan, have made in order to restore order and go after those who threaten the very institutions of the state of Pakistan."
In closing, the Secretary said, "As we move ahead, let us be inspired by the people whose lives we have a chance to touch."

Irtaza in Pakistan writes:
It's a great initiative. Let's hope for good results. But I'd share some thing as a common Pakistani here. There is a serious deficit of trust and it prevails on either sides. Let's hope both the side overcome the sense of mistrust.

Irtaza in Pakistan writes:
I'd refer to the concluding remarks of Mr. Qureshi. He pointed out a very critical issue-Kashmir. Why the USA is so reluctant to broker a deal on Kashmir while it possess all the power and capability to do so. The whole region is on verge of a nuclear clash due to this issue. Let's hope this strategic dialogue also brings about a solution to this problem.

Aqeel in Pakistan writes:
I agree with irtaza that theres need to bring an end to trust deficit over each other countries.I am sure it will be great step if U.S would render its support to pakistan's grave issues public diplomacy, water, energy, health, law enforcement and counter-terrorism, economic development, and women's empowerment, as well as to discuss flood recovery and reconstruction plans.I further would like to add that education is the backbone of democracy so it ,too,should be one area of top priority..education give vision and help change mindsets and thought process..there are thousands of school buildings in karachi which have become the den of crimnals or drug mafias..no teachers,while on payroll of goverment fullfill their duties and inncocent children,most precious global asset dont come2 school fot theres no1 to teach/educate.Goverment should offer adotion of these schools to unicef volunteers or to those who wants to deliver for next generation but do not have resources.Such schools can be run on self help non profit basis under monitoring of global authorities like unicef.
I would be the first one out of many who would luv to mobilize this rusted machinery that provides education,help changing mindsets and thought process for better tomorrow of the world and its in mutual interest of goverments too.
Jen in Virginia writes:
Thank you to this administration for taking steps to strenthen the U.S. - Pakistan relationship.
Pamela G. in West Virginia writes:
I agree we need to help the people of Pakistan but we still need to insist on full cooperation in helping with the search for al-qaida.
P.E. in the U.S.A. writes:
Mr.Qureshi & Mr.Irtaza first need to have their own house (Pakistan) clean which is burning with bomb blast and killings all over the country before worrying about Kashmir. The problems in Kashmir are created by Paksitani military, ISI and other terrorist groups being fostered and provided safe heaven and being infiltered into Kashmir to terrorise innocent civilians and in the name of Islam create Jehadi gangs to creat trouble in India. Yes Kasmir problem need to be settled by handing over illegally occupied so called "AZAD KASMIR" to India. India has never acted in an irresponsible way Paksitan has done by proliferation of dangerous nuclear technology, cross border terrorism and giving assylum to all the world's terrorist groups and then claiming they are non-government elements. If you cannot safe guard your home from such nusance you don't deserve to be a free society.
As far as question of Trust between USA & Pakistan is concerned there is no secret that Bin La DIn and his cronies are protected by Pakistan government agencies like military and ISI and other terrorist groups so that Pakistan can keep milking USA on the name of fighting terrorists.
