Just for the record: I don't just listen to Bruce Springsteen. In fact, for Wicked Local and Gatehouse Media I recently came up with my list of "22 albums from 2012″ — they're not necessarily the "best," or even my favorites, but they're the ones that stuck in my craw (and on my iPod) for one reason or another. (Well, yes, Bruce is on the list — how could he not be?)
I recommend you get thee to a keyboard and download these — or better yet, get them from your local independent record store. Some of them even come in vinyl!
Best Coast, �The Only Place.� Thought it lacks some of the endearing sonic fuzziness of their breakout LP �Crazy For You,� Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno still deliver a marvelously angsty collection of lo-fi surf rock. LISTEN TO: �Why I Cry,� a jangly shout-out about depression and clueless boyfriends.
Bob Dylan, �Tempest.� Dylan still croaks like a master, cajoling his craggy voice around old-fashioned arrangements and lyrics that are, as always, illuminating and inscrutable at the same time. LISTEN TO: �Long and Wasted Years,� a spoken-sung rumination on a marriage gone cold.
Bonnie Raitt, �Slipstream.� Bonnie continues to improve with age, her bluesy song stylings and stellar guitar work remaining a pleasure on her first album since 2005. LISTEN TO: �Million Miles,� a dark and sultry Dylan cover.
Bruce Springsteen, �Wrecking Ball.� Springsteen�s most timely album ever, it�s as much about hope and the need to connect as it is about economic and emotional despair � and a penchant for rollicking Americana keeps it squarely rooted in uplift mode. LISTEN TO: The restrained, gospel-infused �Rocky Ground.�
Craig Finn, �Clear Heart Full Eyes.� The Hold Steady frontman trades rock bombast for more personal folk and country territory here, and the shift suits him. LISTEN TO: The appropriately bluesy standout �Honolulu Blues.�
David Byrne and St. Vincent, �Love This Giant.� Horn-heavy and sonically goofy, this collaboration is even more oddly endearing than you�d probably imagine. It�s a marriage made in alternative indie heaven. LISTEN TO: �Outside of Space and Time,� a song about buildings and food � and pretty much everything else.
Gaslight Anthem, �Handwritten.� Brian Fallon and his bandmates continue to extol the sincere virtues of letters, the radio, girls in long dresses and professions of love through open car windows. LISTEN TO: �Mulholland Drive,� a pounding and nostalgic lost-love rocker.
J.D. McPherson, �Signs & Signifiers.� Re-released this year after great 2011 buzz, it�s a low-fi rockabilly triumph that manages to sound retro and timeless all at once. LISTEN TO: �Scratching Circles,� a joyous amalgam of Jackie Wilson and Clyde McPhatter.
Josh Ritter, �Bringing in the Darlings.� Ritter�s in Paul Simon-troubadour mode on this EP, but what he leaves out in wicked humor he makes up for in ambling charm. LISTEN TO: Bouncy single �Love Is Making Its Way Back Home.�
Justin Townes Earle, �Nothing�s Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now.� The son of Steve Earle just gets better with each album, exuding an honest and emotional country charm combined with a hooky pop-rock sensibility. LISTEN TO: �Memphis in the Rain,� which mixes horns with down-home twang.
Kevin Gordon, �Gloryland.� He�s been referred to as a �Southern Springsteen,� and this album brings his American South to tangible, swampy life. LISTEN TO: �Colfax/Step in Time,� a haunting 10-minute story song about teenage longings and casual racism.
Kingsley Flood, �Colder Still.� The Gloucester, Mass. group�s most raucous and modern release, it stays true to their Americana roots while taking a more electric, indie-rock approach. LISTEN TO: Moody album closer �House On The Hill,� a Springsteenesque indictment of the American dream deferred.
Lee Rocker, �Night Train to Memphis.� The former Stray Cat brings his otherworldly stand-up bass skills to an expert collection of rockabilly covers. LISTEN TO: �So Sad,� a lesser-known Everly Brothers track.
Leland Sundries, �The Foundry EP.� Lexington, Mass. native Nick Loss-Eaton turns his laconic growl on striking turns of phrase as potent as they are mesmerizing. LISTEN TO: The eerie �VFW Hall,� which sounds like Daniel Lanois by way of �Deliverance.�
Leonard Cohen, �Old Ideas.� At 77, Cohen�s voice has never better matched his material, sounding as tested and timeworn as his lyrics � and stunning, as always. LISTEN TO: �Anyhow,� a winking, last-ditch lover�s plea.
Liz Frame and the Kickers, �Sooner.� Frame�s easygoing but emotional vibrato frames a cavalcade of tough heartbroken and heartbreaking characters who rise above the typical country music tropes. LISTEN TO: �Girl of Little Faith,� whose buoyant twang counteracts the singer�s entrenched pessimism.
Paul Rishell, �Talking Guitar.� Rishell�s acoustic paean to blues guitar greats from the 1920s and �30s is far from a museum piece � instead, it�s as moody, gritty and vibrant as the genre itself. LISTEN TO: �I�m Gonna Jump and Shout,� a pitch-perfect blues original.
Rhett Miller, �The Dreamer.� The Old 97�s singer offers a mostly acoustic amble through appealing and ultimately touching tales of lost and almost-loves. LISTEN TO: �Long Long Long,� an alt-country rocker with a perfect mix of romantic pessimism and jaunty musicality.
Sean Hayes, �Before We Turn to Dust.� On Hayes� folky blues (or is it bluesy folk?), modern beats carry along a world-weary rumble that conveys just the right balance of hope and desperation. LISTEN TO: �Drop Down,� a nostalgic slow-burner about new fatherhood.
Susan McKeown, �Belong.� McKeown�s rich, sad soprano highlights this melodic and moving collection, a combination of country melancholy and New York City sass. LISTEN TO: �Our Texas,� about a couple�s �last great adventure� before parting ways.
Tennis, �Young and Old.� Husband-and-wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley are back with a perfect blend of keyboards, percussion and pop sugar. LISTEN TO: The organ-laden �Traveling.�
Various Artists, �Long Distance Salvation.� This lo-fi Americana tribute to Bruce Springsteen�s 1980 �Nebraska� album reminds of the original�s brilliance while staking out striking territory of its own. LISTEN TO: Jonah Tochin�s spooky backwoods take on �State Trooper.�
Tomorrow: 22 songs for 2012!

This usually means the ability of a country or organization to receive aid and use it effectively. Developing countries often lack this capacity. For example, a country may receive enough money to enable all its children to attend primary school - but owing to a lack of teachers, lack of schools or a poor administrative system, it is impossible to spend this money in the short term. Work must first be done to train teachers, build schools and improve the efficiency of the system - thus raising the country's 'absorptive capacity'.
This is a candidate country that has met the Copenhagen criteria and has completed negotiations for joining the European Union.
Becoming a member of the EU following a process of alignment with EU norms.
Any country seeking membership of the European Union (EU) must conform to the conditions set out by Article 49 and the principles laid down in Article 6(1) of the Treaty on European Union. Relevant criteria were established by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993 and strengthened by the Madrid European Council in 1995. To join the EU, a new Member State must meet three criteria: political: stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for and protection of minorities; economic: existence of a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union; acceptance of the Community acquis: ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union. For the European Council to decide to open negotiations, the political criterion must be satisfied. Any country that wishes to join the Union must meet the accession criteria. The pre-accession strategy and accession negotiations provide the necessary framework and instruments.
Accession partnerships are a pre-accession strategy instrument, which determines the candidate countries' particular needs on which pre-accession assistance should be targeted and provides a framework for: the short and medium-term priorities, objectives and conditions determined for each candidate country on the basis of the accession criteria (Copenhagen criteria) in accordance with the Commission's opinion on its membership application; pre-accession assistance. An accession partnership is established for each candidate country to provide guidance and encouragement during preparations for membership. To this end, each candidate country draws up a National Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis (NPAA), which sets out a timetable for putting the partnership into effect. Each candidate country also draws up an action plan for strengthening its administrative and judicial capacities. The accession partnership may also be revised in the light of new developments, especially any new priorities identified during the pre-accession process.
This is a French term meaning, essentially, "the EU as it is" – in other words, the rights and obligations that EU countries share. The "acquis" includes all the EU's treaties and laws, declarations and resolutions, international agreements on EU affairs and the judgments given by the Court of Justice. It also includes action that EU governments take together in the area of "justice and home affairs" and on the Common Foreign and Security Policy. "Accepting the acquis" therefore, means taking the EU as you find it. Candidate countries have to accept the "acquis" before they can join the EU, and make EU law part of their own national legislation. For a fuller explanation, see "Community acquis" in the glossary.
Works and acts to be done (and means to be used) in order to reach the expected results. They summarise the action programme of the project.
This is a type of "Gantt Chart" which resembles a bar chart and graphically illustrates which activity of the project should be carried out when, in which order, and for how long. The Activity Schedule can also be used to determine the milestones to be followed in monitoring the development of the project and in appointing responsibilities to team members each step of the way.
This term literally means "things to be done". It normally refers to the list of items for discussion at a meeting, but politicians also use it as a jargon term meaning "things we want to achieve". For example, the EU's "Social Agenda" sets out what the Union wants to achieve, over the next few years, in terms of employment and social policies. It forms part of the "Lisbon Strategy."
Determines and affirms the benefits that are anticipated from the outcome (result) of the project. These are the benefits that are prioritised by the beneficiaries of the project. As a result of the analysis of the objectives, an Objective Tree, or a hierarchical ranking of the objectives, can be created.
An evaluation of alternative methods that can be used to reach the project objectives, and the subsequent choice of one or more methods to be used in the proposed project.
In 1963, Turkey signed an Association Agreement with the EEC, which became known as the Ankara Agreement. The Ankara Agreement envisioned three phases for Turkey's gradual accession to the EU Common Market through the establishment of a custom union.
The annual National Programme covers the actual projects and programmes designed to directly support the accession process.
This means a country that has applied to join the European Union. Once its application has been officially accepted, it becomes a candidate country.For further details, see EU portal.
The Treaty on European Union (Article 49) lays down the conditions a candidate country must meet to become a Member State, namely it must be a European state, and in accordance with Article 6.1 of the Treaty, must respect the principles of liberty, democracy, respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law. The application is submitted to the Council, which adopts its decision unanimously after consulting the European Commission and after receiving the assent of the European Parliament.
The analysis of a proposed project within the framework of pre-determined criteria to determine its value and acceptability. This is the last stage for a proposal before it is approved as a financially acceptable project. During this process, the feasibility and the suitability of the project's objectives and the rationality of the estimated costs are investigated. The term "Appraisal" is often used synonymously with "Feasibility study".
This is the third phase of the project cycle. The Appraisal Phase envisages that a Project should be detailed as a feasibility project, to be evaluated and investigated by the staff of the EU Commission insofar as its values and consistency with sectoral policies is concerned.
An association agreement is a bilateral agreement between the European Union and a third country. In the context of accession to the European Union, it serves as the basis for implementation of the accession process. Turkey currently has an association agreement.
The Association Committee brings together experts from EU and Turkey to examine Association related technical issues and to prepare the agenda of the Association Council. The negotiations chapters are discussed in eight sub-committees organised as follows: Agriculture and Fisheries Committee Internal Market and Competition Committee Trade, Industry and ECSC Products Committee Economic and Monetary Issues Committee Innovation Committee Transport, Environment and Energy Committee Regional Development, Employment and Social Policy Committee Customs, Taxation, Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering Committee
The Council is made up of representatives of the Turkish government, the European Council and the European Commission. It is instrumental in shaping and orienting Turkey-EU relations. Its aim is to implement the association agreement in political, economic and commercial issues. The Association Council meets twice a year at the ministerial level. The Council takes decisions unanimously. Turkey and the EU side have one vote each.
These are the external factors which can affect the advancement or success of a project, but which are beyond the project manager's control. Assumptions constitute the fourth column of the "Logical Framework", and are formulated with a positive statement. Example: "Reformation of the Criminal Court of Justice will be implemented successfully."

Wow that looks extremely nice and roomy enough to do everything. Also i think i see a lovely Seto tea caddy coupled with a deep kuro raku chawan (with the thick rim in the second photo).
If you don't mind me asking; where did you purchase or receive those tatami mats. And are they standard in size? Anyway, i love the layout. Looks very nice.

A Tale of Two Unknowns: The Fed's Second 2007 Emergency Meeting
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve seriously was concerned it didn't have enough staffing to service the discount window in 2007.
Transcripts from the Federal Open Market Committee -- the Fed's policy-making wing -- from the early days of the financial crisis suggest that Fed members sometimes found themselves unfamiliar with the financial instruments that were beginning to cave and frightened by the prospects of encouraging more banks to approach its discount window to remain liquid.
During a second emergency meeting on Aug. 16, 2007, FOMC members debated the impending statement it would release the next day that said the central bank would reduce the primary credit rate -- one of three discount window programs it offers -- by 50 basis points to 5.75% in an effort to encourage banks to request loans from the regional Reserve banks.
Six days prior to this meeting, the FOMC had held its first emergency conference call of the approaching financial crisis to inform members that the central bank would be issuing a statement later in the day to say that it would provide liquidity to maintain "orderly functioning" of the financial markets. Troubles with Washington Mutual and Countrywide (now part of Bank of America (BAC) ) had tormented markets and the commercial paper markets in Europe and the U.S. started to face pressures.
But banks rapidly became more illiquid than the Fed had anticipated in the first meeting, and members opposed a bailout option. Members avoided bailouts as an option because it wasn't clear in August 2007 just how unhealthy conditions would later become. General worry among Fed bankers, according to the transcript, was that illiquidity was spreading and banks were afraid to approach the discount window.
The discount window -- where banks go to ask the Reserve banks for loans -- carried a negative stigma.
The argument split into two directions: What if virtually none of the banks approach the discount window, despite a drop in the rate? Or, what if the "8,000 banks and many more depository institutions than that" all clamor at once to the window?
The latter situation raised some concern.

Despite the early hour, 12 female athletes and two coaches, bright-eyed and dressed in matching blue and yellow track suits, visited us at the Department of State last week. They were eager to listen, ask questions, and share their experiences as teenage female athletes and Afro-Colombian students. Although the athletes had just met and came from three different cities, they already acted like teammates. Sports have a unique way of bringing people together.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs developed this fast-paced program as part of our Empowering Women and Girls through Sports Initiative, to inspire and empower more women and girls to become involved in all aspects of sports. During their exchange, the track and field athletes ran side by side with their American counterparts in Washington, D.C., at Woodrow Wilson High School, and then traveled to Portland, Oregon, to work with other female athletes at the 2013 NCAA Track and Field National Championships.
I was honored to welcome these Colombian female athletes and their coaches to the United States and speak with them on the first day of their track and field exchange. We had a wonderful conversation about connections, community, and confidence, but also discussed how winning is not everything.
In our discussion, we talked about how you do not have to win a gold medal in sports to be successful. Instead, by actively playing sports, these female athletes are discovering to be part of a team, building relationships, and learning lessons that help athletes win in life. Sports instill confidence, leadership, teamwork, healthier lifestyles, and a commitment to hard work. These values are not only important for these Colombian female athletes on the track, they are important for them in the classroom, in the workplace, and in society.
So, today on National Running Day, we recognize these athletes, and remember that sports do indeed have a unique way of bringing people together -- and can serve as a gateway to success.

text: Pipers Dig Deep To Upend WildcatsThis time, it came down to a game of simple long distance. Hamline's Kara Poirier and Steph Pilgrim had their shooting eye Saturday and it played a major role as the Pipers ended a frustrating period with a solid 67-57 win at St. Catherine's. Poirier hit five three-pointers and Pilgrim added three to help Hamline improve to 5-13 overall, 4-11 in the MIAC. It was a much different game than the last time these teams met. On that occasion, both sides burned the nets constantly before HU emerged with a 106-100 double OT win. This time, SCU took the early lead only to see the Pipers come back and score the final five points of the first half for a 33-26 intermission advantage. In the second half, Hamline quickly pushed the lead into double digits and kept it there to claim the victory. For the game, HU, one of the top teams in the country in three pointers made, rang up nine treys. Pilgrim led the scorers with 16 points while Poirier ended with 15. Jordan Sammons scored 12 points and added four steals. The Pipers get little time to celebrate the win. They host St. Olaf Monday night at Hutton Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Box Score Here

At War With Metaphor: Media, Propaganda, And Racism In The War On Terror
By Erin Steuter and Deborah Wills
Lexington Books, 2008, 268 pages, $70.00 cloth.
Reviewed by Josh Klein
Josh Klein is a sociologist at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. He currently is researching the culture of political violence and state-corporate crime.
How was the Bush Administration able to win support for its war in Iraq when its official reasons for war were so empty? In this thoughtful, scholarly reflection, Erin Steuter and Deborah Wills look to the virulent metaphors that framed public discussion of the war's objects, enemies, and essential terms to answer this question, arguing, in short, that metaphors have power.
This is especially true when the mainstream media acts "as a stenographer to power, 'spin[ning]' even horrific acts of brutality, and characterize[ing] opposition as disloyalty. … The mainstream news media bears the blame for boiling the blood and narrowing the mind of so many." (p. vii)
Age-old tropes like orientalism swirled in the mouths of politicians and media as they presented the Arab enemy as a mysterious and alien Other, only one step from the warriors' own dehumanization of their opponents. As the authors point out, the media constantly recirculates images and language that reinforce the characterization of Muslims as being fundamentally alien, zealous, and fanatical. Influential writer Bernard Lewis answered an interviewer by saying there is nothing to do about the problems with Muslims, "They are just the way they are. They're just going to hate us and go after us." (p. 30) Drawing links between dehumanizing stereotypes and dehumanizing practices, the authors track dehumanization in the print media's use of animal metaphors, cartoonists' lust for extermination, and talk radio. Rat and rodent imagery were rife. Headlines include: "Exhausted Saddam Snared," and "As British Close In On Basra, Iraqis Scurry Away." (p. 73) Monster was another popular word: "Arab World Created This Suicidal Monster," "The Terrorism Monster," "Revolving-Door Monsters." (p. 75)
The military's horrifying willingness to kill civilians is echoed by media commentators and columnists, as when Ben Shapiro, on TownHall.com, says he does not care about civilian casualties, and that "One American soldier is worth far more than an Afghan civilian." (p. 21) An effect of this is also seen in a survey of U.S. soldiers and marines, only half of whom said they would report a member of their unit for killing or injuring a non-combatant. (p. 20) More interestingly, the authors find the powers that be linked terrorism to infestation, corruption, and decay - all ideas with religious resonance for those listening for the apocalypse.
The book certainly documents racism and chauvinism in war on terror culture. It is a clear analysis of the role of metaphor in propaganda and a good example of the cultural/discursive analysis that is currently fashionable in academic research. Other strengths of the book are its exploration of how many types of media support militarism and gung ho politics.
But the book's weakness is that it offers an unsatisfying analysis of the political and economic interests that drive propaganda. It is troubling that, as with many similar works, the authors offer limited acknowledgement of the political economy and the social (as opposed to cultural) forces behind racism, the war on terror, and war.
The limits of the authors' approach are glaring in their weak suggestions about how to change this state of affairs: "We might insist on new metaphors…" and ask, "what would happen if we disbanded our metaphoric army." (p. 209) Fine suggestion, but mentioning the need to disband real armies would strengthen the book's policy suggestions.
Their explanation of the sources of racism and war promotion in the media is similarly tepid: "Those who own and operate the mainstream media in the United States often have connections to corporate or military power that can result in conflicting interests." (p. 168) "Often" have connections? "Can" result in "conflicting" interests? This careful language makes media and cultural militarism sound like an occasional problem, minimizing the stark institutional challenge we face. Further, the book leaves you curious about those who were immune to the lure of propaganda and how the authors would account for them in their focus on discourse. How do people become grounded in oppositional or humanist thinking and institutions so they see propaganda for what it is?
I do not want to sound unduly harsh in my criticisms of the book. At War With Metaphor is full of useful critical insights and shameful facts and quotes – valuable stuff. As an assessment of war on terror ideology, this book is terribly important for policy analysts, activists, and social scientists – especially if accompanied by a clear-eyed analysis of more material forces driving war.

"It's just an honor to be recognized by the IPC, which is an organization I hold at high esteem. It has had such a significant impact on my personal life as well as professional life," Cooper said.
He has worked significantly to create and evaluate new sports technologies, advancing equipment used in wheelchair racing, handcycling, wheelchair tennis and seated throwing events.
"What I get a pleasure out of is training people with an impairment around the world on how to become scientists. That multiplies what I can do as an individual in the field," Cooper said. "I've been collaborating with countries around the world to bring that technology to places like Mexico and India as well as places like Europe and the United States."
Cooper's research has appeared in more than 270 scientific publications, 1,000 abstracts, 100 magazines and five books. He also holds five US patents for wheelchair adaptations to optimize propulsion in daily living.
Two of his main aims, he said, have been to help achieve equity in Paralympic competition as well as to increase participation in para-sport and maximize an athlete's potential.
Cooper, a U.S. Army veteran, was a bronze medalist in the wheelchair racing relay at the Seoul 1988 Paralympic Games and is known for his involvement in the Wounded Warrior Project and the National Veterans Wheelchair Games.
To be eligible for the award, candidates must have contributed through significant scientific publications related to the scientific study of sport for persons with an impairment in any discipline, have received national and/or international recognition for his or her work, and placed an emphasis on the practical application of research with direct or indirect benefit to the Paralympic Movement.
Registration for the VISTA2013 Conference remains open at www.paralympic.org/events through April 1.
The VISTA2013 Conference will draw some of the world's leading experts on technology and equipment in Paralympic sport to Bonn to discuss in-depth issues that made global headlines during the recent London 2012 Paralympic Games.

This is the time of year we do planning for the next Girl Scout year. We look back at some of what we have tried and experienced in the previous year and work to improve on it, mutate it into something else, or try something new. As we do that, we look at the data we have collected to shape these decisions, events, programs and activities going forward.
The trends are always interesting in this exercise. We are always working to grow membership, but have found that our membership is a tad flat this year. Growth in membership is accomplished primarily through in-school groups in rural areas, not with traditional troops that are volunteer-led.
In terms of council programming, we continue to create some of our own competition in the program area by offering good events in different parts of the council on the same weekend. This is always a difficult thing to juggle, since we want to offer girls as many opportunities as we possibly can.
The cookie program continues to grow, which is counterintuitive in many respects. It is fortunate, since proceeds from that program fund council operations. Hence, it pays the bills. Funds above where we set the budget from the cookie program are used to provide improvements at camp properties. This is where the funds for the new bathhouse at Camp Scoutshire Woods, zip lines at two resident camps and stand up paddle boards come from. We received a lot of feedback from the SNAP survey and service units about the change to a direct sale, and we will be integrating that feedback into the coming program. I think we all learned some things during that experience.
We have worked on growing the camp enrollments, which continue to be in a decline. This is not a good test year for this, since many troops are going on trips they have saved for to Washington DC, Savannah and other much larger trips. We have done some advertising to attract new girls to resident camp, but that didn't result in any change, so we will be looking for new ideas to grow this program in the future.
This coming year we need to do better work asking girls what their experience is in various programs. Much of our funding is moving to an outcomes based model. Funders are no longer interested in the number of girls involved in a program. They want to know the program changed the girl. Expect to see many more online surveys for us to provide outcome metrics for funding.
We are doing more aggressive fund raising, so that we may decrease reliance on the cookie program and increase funding from other sources. The Boy Scouts rely heavily on funding from the community, and our initial experience is that the community will support girls. We are looking for suggestions and assistance for the fund development staff on businesses, individuals and other opportunities we can use to improve the girl experience. Please send any thoughts you have to email@example.com . We will be having a large fund-raiser in Lee County on August 24 to replace funds that the United Way used to provide for us there. If you have any items (small or large) that we can auction off, please let us know, the auction theme is sports, travel and entertainment. We are planning that this will be a free event, so stay in tune for that might be a great evening of fun for adults.
We work hard to provide better experiences for the girls each year. Most of this is predicated on the feedback from the previous year. If you have suggestions, ideas, or thoughts, please let us know. I receive a lot of feedback about things that other councils do, most are much larger, so we work hard to provide what we believe works for the girls of this area that leverages the resources we have.
Thank you for your assistance in this important endeavor.

Drowning of Grants Pass Man Is 5th in the Rogue This Year
A Grants Pass man is believed to have drowned in the Rogue River just a few days before his 21st birthday.
KDRV reports that Sean Kreuger is one of at least five people who have lost their lives in the river this year alone.
This recent drowning happened Monday night around 5 p.m. in Griffin Park. After an unsuccessful rescue mission the night before, divers and tenders went searching for the 20-year-ld's body Tuesday morning.
Josephine County Sheriff's officials say Kreuger was trying to cross the river when he was pulled beneath the water. They say the water most likely appeared calmer on the surface than it really was.

Indian officials cited U.S. science diplomacy as a reason why the 99th Indian Science Congress (ISC) chose to focus on women in science. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh emphasized the crucial role of science in India's development to the nearly 20,000 energized attendees, which included several Nobel laureates. India's Ambassador to the United States Nirupama Rao enthusiastically launched India's first Women Science Congress as a concurrent event.
In a striking parallel to Secretary Clinton's declaration that women's rights is essential to our national security, Ambassador Rao's keynote speech at the Women's Science Congress declared that providing opportunities for women in science and is crucial for India's development. Ambassador Rao also stressed the importance of education for women by stating, "You educate a mother, she educates the family." From now on, according to Ambassador Rao, India's Women's Science Congress will be an annual event highlighting the outstanding achievements of women scientists and the challenges they face. This recognition of the status and accomplishments of Indian women in a rapidly changing society reflects the positive influence of U.S. policies and U.S. Embassy New Delhi's efforts in recent years to promote gender equality as well as the Indian government's own interest in this issue.
While Indian women are still seriously underrepresented in the scientific professions and leadership and face numerous challenges, the Indian government now commits to encouraging women to pursue education in scientific, technological, and engineering fields, and to promoting and retaining women in science careers. The Indian government recognizes that science and technology are essential in bringing underprivileged Indian women and their families into the rapidly-growing Indian economy. U.S. Embassy New Delhi has tapped into this commitment to help advance a positive environment for women scientists.
Recognizing that science is essential to empowerment in this knowledge century, the Embassy New Delhi team has given unwavering and unequivocal support to promoting gender equality in science studies. One example is our annual Women in Science (WIS) workshops that we have held since 2009. These workshops helped inspire the launch of the Women's Science Congress and the theme of the landmark 2012 Indian Science Conference "Science and Technology for Inclusive Innovation -- Role of Women."
Recent developments in India's gender polices are another example of the impact the U.S.-India WIS workshops. Participants at one U.S.-India WIS workshop talked about how they had to leave careers for family reasons, and later found it difficult to resume their careers. Indian officials attending our workshop later rolled-out a policy to address this issue through special contractual positions for women scientists who were forced to relocate for family reasons and enhanced support for women scientists re-entering the workforce after career interruptions.
One of our personal favorite moments from the U.S.-India WIS workshops occurred in September 2011, when Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams joined us for an interactive session. Many Indian girls consider Commander Williams a role model and were thrilled to hear her speak about her experiences and answer their questions. The audience repeatedly broke into spontaneous applause as the Commander spoke. The biggest applause came when she said the earth looked borderless from outer space.
Earlier last year, in July, Secretary Clinton and Indian Foreign Minister Krishna highlighted the role of women scientists at the annual U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue, and it was a central topic in discussions between Under Secretary of State Maria Otero and Ambassador Rao earlier last year. As a result of the emphasis placed on women and science in our bilateral engagement, India co-sponsored with the United States and Brazil a special session on women in science during the UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York in 2011. India assigned two prominent women scientists to speak on the importance the Indian government places on science as the most effective tool for developing India and empowering Indian women, and India now wants women in science as part of the Joint Commission Meeting on Science and Technology that Washington will host prior to the bilateral Strategic Dialogue in June 2012.
Secretary Clinton eloquently articulated the importance of promoting gender equality in recent policy guidance and testimony before Congress. U.S. Embassy New Delhi and the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues have been unstintingly working to advance the status of women and girls as a priority element of our bilateral engagement with India. Science diplomacy has proven to be a powerful tool for advancing the status of women and girls in India. We are proud of the impact it has already had, and look forward to achieving even greater goals in the future.

I am excited to learn that prominent Indian government officials are finally acknowledging the value of women to the field of science. I am also very pleased with Hillary Clinton's global efforts in advocating for women's rights. As emphasized by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, science will have an integral role in improving India's status as a developing country. In India, the demand for science professionals is rising as the country attempts to move its citizens into twenty-first century medicine and technology. I am also excited to learn that Rhao believes that women are an excellent source of untapped resources for talent and that women have an important part to play in strengthening India's economy. By providing Indian women with the mentoring and educational opportunities necessary for them to advance their careers in science-related fields, initiatives such as the Women's Science Congress will help the country further bridge its achievement gap between male and female scientists and science students. Hopefully, by highlighting the value of women in the workforce, India can serve as a model for other developing countries that are struggling to include women their economies and workforces.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
Date of review: May 27, 2011
In short: A great race to experienceIn full: My first half marathon and one I will remember for the rest of my life. Being from the North East I felt very proud to be apart of this race. Great race from start to finish and I have to agree the Red Arrows flew across as I crossed the finish line, looking forward to doing it again this yearDate of review: May 24, 2011
In short: Incredibly overcrowded but well supported and a great atmosphere.In full: I'm an average runner so I was in the 7th pen back from the start line, the atmosphere before the race was fantastic and getting a high five from Ant & Dec as I went over the start line made my week! My only grumble is that I found the whole course overcrowded from start to finish, spent alot of time and energy either going round or squeezing past people. However, having the Red Arrows fly over the bridge as I was on it is something I will remember forever...Date of review: January 26, 2011
In short: really good, worth doingDate of review: January 21, 2011
In short: Fantastic atmosphere and support, brilliant HMIn full: This was my second HM and was really excited to get a place in the GNR. I loved it, the local support was great and the entertainment made the miles pass quicker. The only thing i wasn't prepared for was the constant weaving in and out of people walking from mile one, I started in a middle block so I was annoyed as I thought they should have at least started at the back. I would recommend any runner to give this race a go.Date of review: January 7, 2011
In short: the best day of the year, every yearDate of review: January 7, 2011
In short: Favourite day on the race calenderDate of review: January 5, 2011
In short: Brendan sort it out dissapointingIn full: I have been looking forward to this since I started running because of injury Brendan 'Money grabbing *******' made me pay TWICE. So this year I thought I'd get a nice race. I wasn't allowed into my pen because it was full !!! or the next so I eventually pushed my way into the next under duress. Then when Ant and Dec announced we are underway all this space appears FFS. Anyway the race was boring, the crowds were fantastic Howway the lads and lasses and the last mile was the best bit. Good finish saw Chris Chataway and Angelica Bell. More choas with 1 hour queue at Metro or 90 mins for Ferry to North Shields. That was after 3 pints. She has an entry for next year so will be there one way or other but under protest won't be back after that.Date of review: October 27, 2010
In short: My Second GNR, electric atmosphere, you don't need an Ipod to get you aroundIn full: When 54000 people are all in the same place along with their supports to run a half marathon, there are going to be queues and frustrations, but bearing this in mind I thought that this was a really well run and well managed race. I did have to queue for 30 minutes at the start for the loos, but as long as you leave enough time to get there, it's not a problem. Fortunately we were able to stay with a friend so the hotel accommodation wasn't an issue and we didn't have too much hassle getting out of Gateshead afterwards, but I can appreciate that it can be frustrating.As ever the atmosphere was amazing and the people of Newcastle, South Shields and Gateshead are amazing. I didn't even need to use my Ipod to get me around the course.Goody bag was awesome, my only negative with the downpour of rain just when I'd finished!Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Incredible race!Date of review: October 9, 2010

Ellie Krieger, bestselling healthy cookbook author and registered dietitian, on finding the �sweet spot� between good food and good health.
Claim to fame: Since her first book, 2005�s Small Changes, Big Results: A 12-Week Action Plan to a Better Life, registered dietitian Ellie Krieger has become one of America�s most-loved healthy cooks. Her popular Food Network TV show, Healthy Appetite, now airs on The Cooking Channel. Her cookbooks�So Easy: Luscious Healthy Recipes for Every Meal of the Week; The Food You Crave: Luscious Recipes for a Healthy Life; and Comfort Food Fix: Feel Good Favorites Made Healthy�fly off bookshelves. In January 2013, Ellie released an updated version of her first book, Small Changes, Big Results, Revised and Updated: A Wellness Plan with 65 Recipes for a Healthy, Balanced Life Full of Flavor. She also blogs at www.elliekrieger.com.
Health philosophy: �Find a way of life that is enjoyable and delicious that also supports good health. In being well, you create a good life in every way.�
Food philosophy: Think of foods as being divided into three categories: �Usually, sometimes, rarely.� (Note: no �never�!) �When I cook at home, I really try to focus on the �usually� foods,� she says. �Because I live in New York, when I go out, there are plenty of opportunities to get the �sometimes� and �rarely!��
Vitamins and supplements: She doesn�t take any. �If you want to take one as an insurance policy, that�s fine, but the only way to assure you�re going to get what you need is from food,� she says. �I�m not against supplements, per se, but I also don�t think they�re the answer�and for the average healthy person, I don�t think they�re necessary.�
Motivational trick: Think of the payoff. �Sometimes I�m just not in the mood to cook. The key is knowing I have these quick recipes in my back pocket that frankly taste better than anything I can order in, and are healthier and cheaper,� she says. �So OK, the payoff�s there. Then I turn up some music and I start drinking a little wine, and suddenly it�s not so bad� it�s fun!�
Favorite healthy meal: �I hardly ever make the same thing twice!� she admits. �But a typical meal could be as simple as my honey mustard salmon, a quinoa pilaf and some kind of seasonal vegetable like crispy roasted Brussels sprouts or maybe some beautiful, ripe tomatoes with olive oil.�
Secret weapon: Spices. �I�m always looking for that sweet spot where healthy and delicious meet,� she says. �Spices are great to experiment with�even a sprinkle of curry powder on your cauliflower before you roast it, or some smoked paprika on your eggs in the morning.�
Favorite workout: Yoga once or twice a week, indoor or outdoor cycling, hiking. �Sometimes I�ll go for a run. I�m maybe the slowest runner in the entire world�80-year-old speed-walking women pass me!� she says, laughing. �But I don�t care. I�m out there doing it.�
Favorite healthy snacks: While she tries not to eat much between meals, Ellie almost always has a little something at 4 p.m.: fruit with almonds or cheese; or a piece of chocolate. �In the winter, lately I�ve been into making hot cocoa with skim milk and real cocoa powder, a little bit of sugar,� she says. �If you make it with those pure ingredients�and not too sweet�you�re getting so much nutrition and a really satisfying snack.�

Via Technologies, a developer of low-power microprocessors and core-logic sets, on Tuesday formally announced its new lineup of microprocessors. Via promises that its new chips will be able to outperform their predecessors by 20% in terms of performance and will also offer lower power consumption. The new chips are not breakthrough microprocessors with new micro-architecture, but are basically old chips with tweaks and SSE4 support.
"With the Via Nano 3000-series, we are launching our fastest and most power-efficient processors yet. Coupled with our market-leading digital media chipsets, they enable the richest experience across a broad range of mobile and all-in-one system designs," said Richard Brown, vice president of international marketing at Via Technologies.
Based on Via's own performance benchmarks, the new Via Nano 3000 1.60GHz central processing unit (CPU) is 23% faster than Via Nano 1.60GHz in PCMark 05 CPU Test and is also 22% faster in 3DMark06 test. The performance improvements are a result of implementation of SSE4 instructions as well as other tweaks. Thanks to SSE4, Via claims that its Nano 3000 microprocessors are capable "flawless playback of high bit-rate 1080p HD video".
Although Via Technologies talks about performance, it does not reveal thermal design power of the new processors, but claims that the only consume 100mW (U3000) or 500mW (L3000) in idle mode. The original Via Nano CPUs were not truly power efficient since their TDP varied from 5W to 25W and the promised 20% drop of power consumption is unlikely to make them the most efficient chips.
Via Nano 3000 is still based on the Isaiah architecture and features x86-64 technology along with a superscalar and out of order execution engine, macro-fusion and micro-fusion functionality, advanced branch prediction mechanism, advanced floating point unit as well as support for virtualization technology and Via PadLock security engine.
The new chips that belong to the Isaiah family also feature Adaptive PowerSaver Technology that further reduces power consumption and improve thermal management, including the unique TwinTurbo dual-PLL implementation, which permits smooth transitions between activity states within one clock cycle, ensuring always-on service and minimize latency, as well as new mechanisms for managing the die temperature.
Via Nano 3000 processors use the NanoBGA2 package, making them pin-to-pin compatible with Via Nano 1000, Via Nano 2000, Via C7, Via C7-M and Via Eden processors for easy upgrades of existing designs.
Via Nano 3000 processors will be available at speeds from 1.0GHz to 2.0GHz. Via Nano 3000 samples are currently available for OEMs and motherboard vendors, and will enter mass production in Q1 2010.

The Correct Use of DarknessTuesday, May 19th, 2009
I'm in a very dark place right now.
Which makes me sound like some kind of moody, tortured Christian Bale Batman character, and nothing could be further from the truth.
No, I'm literally in the darkness, sitting at the back of a conference, listening to a long presentation. The presenter is doing a pretty good job, but I'm ready for a nice afternoon nap.
That's quite an achievement on a standard stackable chair. Long-haul airlines don't need bigger, flatter seats. They just need to take the lights down and put a monotone presenter in the front of the cabin. Here's one they could use:
Why Do They Turn The Lights Down?
In the olden days, even expensive projectors were Jessica Simpson-dim, which meant room lights at zero and blinding spotlights on the presenter.
And in movies and theatre shows they keep the lights down to focus attention on the stage or screen.
So that's the 'professional' look for presentations, right?
Well, not very often. There are two sorts of corporate presentation: shows, and meetings.
When you're doing a major product launch, for example, there will be a lot of theatrical elements. Concert-style lighting, professional performers, expensively-shot video, maybe even dancing bears.
So you need darkness to get the best out of your staging. And it's all over in an hour or so, plus it's exciting, so there's little risk of audience slumber.
This is your standard conference-style series of presentations, with regular presenters, using PowerPoint. Plunging the room into darkness and adding a light show isn't going to add 'theatrical impact' to it. It's just going to put people to sleep after the first hour.
The sleep risk factor is doubled during the difficult, digestion-affected session after lunch, when you might as well be in a cave talking to bears in winter.
Today's projectors are bright enough to work under most lighting conditions. So keep the lights up. Not up to full brightness, but enough for the presenters to clearly see the audience and get visual feedback from them.
If you've got a really large screen, or a room with strong light coming through the windows, rent a brighter projector and keep the lights up.
Don't let your speech become a bedtime story for grownups.

Hon Hai Precision Industry is one the world's largest contract manufacturer of personal computer components, however, it is not very well known as supplier of Foxconn-branded computer parts. However, this may change as the company prepares to roll-out a new brand called AFox which will manufacture a number of product families and is expected to establish a new revenue stream for Hon Hai.
AFox will initially produce a lineup of mainboards as well as graphics cards based on chips from Advanced Micro Devices, Intel Corp. and Nvidia Corp., but eventually the firm plans to offer different families of products, including what is already sold under Foxconn brand – computer cases, cooling systems and others – as well as something that Foxconn is not known for at all: low-cost mobile computers and other products that may become successful in current market conditions.
One of the goals that AFox is projected to achieve is rapid time-to-market with new products and find new channels to sell products, which will automatically increase pressure on other component makers and will also boost Hon Hai's market share, certain sources recently revealed. AFox will use research and development as well as manufacturing capacities of the parent company, however, certain design decisions may be different from those of Foxconn.
AFox will certainly not become the first brand of Foxconn Technology Group. Several years ago the company launched Oxxco brand to sell memory modules, whereas Leadtek Research and PowerColor/Tul suppliers of graphics cards are closely affiliated with Foxconn. AFox is an acronym for "Asian Fox" as well as "A Friend of Foxconn", which means that the newly formed company will also associate itself with one of the world's largest contract manufacturers of electronics.
Some sources in the industry said that AFox company was formed in approximately two months, an very short amount of time for mainboard industry. If the information is correct, it means that there Foxconn's channel business operates not inline with expectations as the companies of the Hon Hai size do not usually make rapid decisions.
Neither AFox nor Foxconn Technology Group commented on the news-story.

After much speculation surrounding a potential move, the Los Angeles Clippers have made it official and acquired head coach Doc Rivers from the Boston Celtics, pending approval from the league.
UPDATE: Monday, June 24, at 11:55 p.m. ET by Eric Ball
Monday has come and gone, and the Clippers still don't officially have a new coach. Jackie MacMullan of ESPN Boston has the details on what's taking so long:
The official completion of the deal that will send Doc Rivers to the Los Angeles Clippers is being delayed because Rivers and his representatives are still reviewing the wording in the coach's new contract.
Rivers and his representatives also are recommending changes in the language of the three-year, $21 million deal, according to league sources.
---End of update---
UPDATE: Monday, June 24, at 5:40 p.m. ET by Tom Kinslow
Baxter Holmes of the Boston Globe has an update on the Doc Rivers trade, and it seems like the league has been unable to push the deal through as they wait for the Clippers to agree to terms with the head coach on a contract.
That source said the league has not approved any deal and the Celtics are in wait-and-see mode as Monday reaches the early evening. The Celtics have yet to cancel their scheduled press conference, which was originally set for noon and the Hall of Fame Room at the Sports Authority Practice Facility has been prepared for a press conference for three days.
---End of update---
UPDATE: Monday, June 24, at 3:30 p.m. ET by Brandon Galvin
ESPN Boston has the latest on Doc Rivers to the Clippers.
League source tells Jackie MacMullan NBA has OK'd Doc Rivers deal. Still not clear whether Celtics will hold press conference today.— ESPNBoston (@ESPNBoston) June 24, 2013
---End of update---
---Original text---
Jackie MacMullan of ESPN Boston has the news:
Sources confirmed on Sunday that the Clippers will sign Rivers to a three-year, $21 million contract. They will send a first-round pick as compensation for the Boston Celtics, who have agreed to release the coach from the three years, $21 million he has remaining on his deal with the club.
Contrary to previous reports, according to league and team sources, the Celtics have been complicit all along in assisting Rivers make the switch from Boston to Los Angeles.
Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times confirmed the report, saying the deal is for a 2015 unprotected first-round draft choice.
Clippers will send 2015 unprotected pick to Celtics for Doc Rivers.— Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) June 23, 2013
Clippers will take over Rivers' contract he had left with Boston that was 3 years, $7 million per year, total of $21 million, sources— Brad Turner (@BA_Turner) June 23, 2013
However, despite the agreement in principle, Ken Berger of CBS Sports is reporting it is no guarantee that the league will approve the swap.
League office will take a skeptical view of any Rivers transaction, sources say. Will be hard to sell as separate from player discussions.— Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) June 23, 2013
With an original scenario that had included a trade for Kevin Garnett, it was noted by MacMullan that NBA commissioner David Stern has objected "to the appearance that the KG deal (for DeAndre Jordan) and Rivers were related."
ESPN's Marc Stein is also reporting that the league does not intend to budge from its original stance as it pertains to Garnett.
ESPN source says NBA does NOT intend to budge from Stern's stance & would see subsequent KG-to-Clips deal as connected & thus in violation— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) June 23, 2013
If the move for Rivers were to go through, Stein is also reporting that Chris Paul has told the Clippers that Rivers' presence in Los Angeles would secure him for the next five seasons on a max contract.
As for what Rivers' staff may look like, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Alvin Gentry is a strong candidate, but is still in the running for a head coaching position of his own.
Alvin Gentry's a strong candidate to join Rivers' staff, but still candidate for Memphis head job and Lakers' assistant, source tells Y!— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) June 24, 2013
The Clippers, of course, won a franchise-record 56 games during the 2012-13 regular season, but after falling to the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the organization decided it was time to part ways with Vinny Del Negro, electing not to renew the polarizing head coach's contract.
How would you grade this acquisition for the Clippers?
Several available names were brought up in discussions for a replacement. According to the Los Angeles Times' Broderick Turner, Lionel Hollins, Byron Scott, Brian Shaw and Nate McMillan, among others, were all given consideration.
But in the end, Los Angeles went with an "unavailable" name.
Rivers went 416-305 (.577) with the Celtics and led them to seven playoff appearances during his nine seasons. He won the NBA title in 2008 and made it back to the finals in 2010 before losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games.
After that kind of success, it didn't seem Rivers was even on the brink of leaving Boston.
However, according to Wojnarowski, he didn't want to stay if the Celtics were going to get rid of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, thus entering rebuilding mode. There were also rumors of locker-room tension with the Celtics' new franchise player, Rajon Rondo.
This transaction continues the recent remarkable rate of overturn among head coaches, per ESPN's Tom Haberstroh:
If Doc Rivers leaves BOS, Spoelstra becomes 2nd-longest tenured coach in the NBA. Spoelstra wasn't coaching when Doc won 2008 title. Crazy.— Tom Haberstroh (@tomhaberstroh) June 16, 2013
In 2013-14, there will be 13 new head coaches, with seven of those being on playoff teams. Nevertheless, the Clippers got their man.
As long as he can help convince superstar free agent Chris Paul to stay in L.A., Rivers will undoubtedly enjoy more of that success with a very talented Clippers squad.

Elinor Caplan Minister of National Revenue
Mr. Speaker, this is in reply to a point of order that was raised by the member for St. Albert and refers to the funding of relief for the home heating expenses program.
In December 2000, the government confirmed through an order in council that it would provide ex gratia payments to individuals and families as a relief for heating expenses. The eligibility to receive the payment would be determined similarly to the eligibility for the goods and services tax credit, with some exclusions for dependants.
As is the case for the goods and services tax credit, the eligibility is founded on the information contained in the income tax and benefit returns filed under the Income Tax Act, in this case the returns for the 1999 tax year.
In order to ensure fairness to all Canadians, payments after 2000-01 have been required for: all eligible Canadians filing a 1999 tax return; Canadians whose 1999 tax returns were reassessed and are now entitled to the payment; or eligible Canadians whose addresses were invalid at the time of the initial issuance of the payment and were subsequently updated.
All of the RHE payments were made as ex gratia payments and charged to CCRA's Vote 1 operating expenditures, as approved by Parliament each year. The ex gratia payments do not require specific parliamentary approval or authority.
Funds for the program were appropriated by Parliament and placed in the CCRA Vote 1 operating expenditures through two Governor General's Special Warrants. No administrative or other limitations were placed on any of these funds other than the requirement to use them for operating purposes.
Subsection 30(2) of the Financial Administration Act deems the Governor General's Special Warrants to be an appropriation, in this case to CCRA's Vote 1 operating expenditures.
Subsection 60(1) of the CCRA act provides authority to carry forward its unused Vote 1 appropriations into the following fiscal year, and these carry-forward funds are the first ones to be used in any subsequent fiscal year, pursuant to subsection 7(2) of the Appropriation Acts. As mentioned earlier, the only limitation is that these funds had to be used for operating purposes. All ex gratia payments made by CCRA for the relief for heating expenses were properly charged in each year to general Vote 1 operating expenditures.
Consequently, CCRA had the necessary authorities to make the RHE payments, both in terms of an order in council for ex gratia payments and the necessary appropriations approved by Parliament. In addition, there is no basis to reduce the CCRA's main estimates as Parliament has already agreed that CCRA may carry forward its unused appropriations.
Thank you for the opportunity to respond, Mr. Speaker. I have tabled my statement, in both official languages, with the Clerk.
