Today's "Photo of the Week" comes from the Department of State's official photographer, Michael Gross, and shows Secretary Kerry visiting the gift shop in the basement (fondly nicknamed "Foggy Bottom") of the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. on February 15, 2013.
Secretary Kerry's second week in office has been just as busy as the first attending (and tweeting about) the President's State of the Union speech and meeting with foreign dignitaries such as Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton, and Italian President Giorgio Napolitano.
Nonetheless, he still manages to explore the massive Harry S Truman Building to meet his State Department colleagues.

The State Department has a gift shop? Is there a good reason for its existence?
John P. in Greece writes:
I did not know about the gift shop. Extremely interesting! I got an idea to share... if applicable.
Why don't you also create an e-commerce of this project? It would be very interesting for us abroad to have the capability to see the gift items and why not to order anything we like using the usual e-credit paths.
Please let me know if you already have a URL for this.

We have seen evidence over and over again that investing in women and girls is one of the most direct and effective ways to produce economic and social progress. We have also seen how information and communication technologies (or ICT) have accelerated the pace of change by introducing efficiencies, opening new markets, and creating technology-related jobs. Now, imagine the tremendous possibilities that can arise from empowering women with ICT. The promise is real, though there are a number of challenges to navigate.
One of the most challenging issues is gender inequity in the access to technology, whether that be a mobile phone or Internet connectivity. Closing the gender gap presents an enormous opportunity for economic development. The GSMA mWomen Program, launched by Secretary Clinton in October 2010, identified that women are 21 percent less likely than men to own a mobile phone in developing countries. mWomen aims to halve that gap in the next three years. The Internet is also out of reach for many women, who typically have more limited incomes and are unable to afford service costs, which can be prohibitively expensive in many low-income countries. Certainly, without access to technology, women will not be able to take advantage of the many potential benefits technology can enable for their individual and family's livelihood, education, and well-being -- as a consequence, their contributions to economic and social progress will not be as significant.
Beyond access, women face additional hurdles in effectively leveraging ICT. Cultural norms or overt discrimination can make it uncomfortable for a woman to visit a cyber cafe or unfeasible for her to purchase her own phone. Marketing or distributing services to women can be difficult if they have limited ability to travel or to interact with male distributors. Lower literacy rates among women make it more challenging to access many SMS services, web applications, or phone apps, all of which typically require the ability to read and enter information. And, lack of technical literacy, along with the motivation or interest to develop it, can also discourage women from leveraging ICT solutions.
Last week, I spoke on this subject at the USAID Global Broadband and Innovations Tech Talk series on "How to Address Gender in ICT Projects." Watch the video here.

Not having a phone is not a barrier - in Cambodia WING provides a service that due to technology is in English rather than Khmer script, and only 3% of phones support Khmer script anyway. By addressing the key area of providing quality service at the merchant, along with good penetration into geographies, all services are accessible to anyone as the technology is in the hands of a competent agent.
The solution is never really the technology, it is good people.

Will the Common Core Create World-Class Learners? Yong Zhao, a University of Oregon education professor, has doubts in an Ed Week interview with Anthony Cody.
"Judging from the accomplishment of NCLB and Race to the Top, I would say that five years from now, American education will still be said to be broken and obsolete. We will find out that the Common Core Standards, after billions of dollars, millions of hours of teacher time, and numerous PD sessions, alignment task forces, is not the cure to American's education ill. Worse yet, we will likely have most of nation's schools teaching to the common tests aligned with the Common Core. As a result, we will see a further narrowing of the curriculum and educational experiences. Whatever innovative teaching that has not been completely lost in the schools may finally be gone. And then we will have a nation of students, teachers, and schools who are compliant with the Common Core Standards, but we may not have much else left."
Other than that, he's a big fan.
Zhao is the author of Catching Up or Leading the Way: American Education in the Age of Globalization.
Conservatives are pushing back against Common Core Standards, writes the Wall Street Journal. Some state legislators who felt rushed into adopting the standards are having second thoughts.
There are rumblings from all sides. The common standards and assessments represent the "antithesis of progressive values," writes Jack Hassard on The Art of Teaching Science. "The idea of having a single set of standards and associated assessments appears to remove individuality, creativity and innovation from American classrooms."

About the Author: Adisa Busuladzic serves with USAID in Afghanistan.
U.S. Ambassador Karl W. Eikenberry and the Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, Mohammad Asif Rahimi, inaugurated a Farm Mechanization Program for mid-size farmers in a ceremony at Badam Bagh farm on February 6, 2011. In the presence of fellow farmers and Afghan and U.S. officials, 40 farmers from the surrounding area purchased two-wheeled tractors and attachments at a subsidized price.
"These tractors are a small but important link in a chain that strengthens Afghan agriculture," Minister Rahimi said. "Other links in the chain include building better roads, new agribusiness, new jobs and bigger markets in Afghanistan and abroad," he added.
Addressing the farmers, Ambassador Eikenberry said, "The inauguration of this Farm Mechanization Program today is just one part of a larger vision for agricultural production. I travelled to all 34 provinces of Afghanistan and what stands out on all those travels is that agriculture is a backbone of the Afghan economy and society. What also stands out is how industrious, creative and hardworking are the farmers of Afghanistan."
The Farm Mechanization Program is aimed at mid-sized farmers growing crops for the market from 18 provinces: Herat, Farah, Ghor, Badghis, Balkh, Faryab, Samangan, Sar-e-Pul, Jawzjan, Kunduz, Badakhshan, Baghlan, Takhar, Kabul, Bamiyan, Kapisa, Panjshir and Parwan. Farmers apply for the program through the Provincial Departments of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock and, if accepted, receive a week-long hands-on training course on the operation and maintenance of the DF-15 two-wheeled tractor, seed drill, roto-cultivator, reaper and trailer. The project has also trained 250 mechanics specialized in the repair and maintenance of the tractors and attachments, with access to a wide range of spare parts and supplies. When the farmer has completed the training course he or she takes the voucher to the designated dealer and pays the subsidized price of about $1,400 to complete the purchase of the tractor and attachments.
The program highlighted today is one of a number of programs the U.S. government supports in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) aimed at increasing agricultural productivity in Afghanistan.

In your friendship with Pakistan you get nothing except loosing of money and gaining nothing... Pakistan is taking your money every time and promises to fight against the terrorism in Pakistan, but actually they fund from the money of the US to Taliban and alqaida to go and fight against the US soldiers in Afghanistan and destroy the cities and the security of Afghanistan...
You do not need for Pakistan`s role in the war against the terror in Afghanistan, just you need to make Afghans yours and they will remain with you always...
In 1960s Afghan king wanted to make close friendship with the United States but unfortunately the US government made a wrong decision by taking the side of Pakistan and choosing a wrong country for their influence in the region... and Afghan diplomats were not welcomed in USA, because US wanted to be with Afghanistan and the situation of Afghanistan was in a critical status where was the need of the support from one of the world powers, when Afghans saw no interest from the US side then they went with less interests to ask for support from Russian soviets... and now i kindly requesting you to between these two choose Afghanistan for your friendship and brotherhood, because you will benefit of it more than Pakistan, one is the strategical location of Afghanistan and the second is the wealth of Afghanistan the virgin and untapped MINES of Afghanistan which values more than one trillion US dollars which you can share with Afghans and benefit of it, after spending of this much money and sacrifices of the lives of your soldiers in Afghanistan, you have to make this country yours like one of your states...
Many thanks for helping Afghanistan and being with Afghans and we want you to continue supporting of Afghanistan and training the national army of Afghanistan to take the control of the responsibilities of the security of Afghanistan and to fight against the Taliban and Alqaida and to bring one more time after three decades a peace in Afghanistan...

text: Led by major utilities in California, such as Pacific Gas & Electric, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, from 2007 to 2011, cumulative smart meter installations in the U.S. grew from 2.47 million to 37.29 million. In this report, Zpryme analyzed data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) to identify key smart meter deployment trends that are shaping broader smart grid deployments in the U.S. Using the historical data, along with major regional and utility smart meter deployment targets, Zpryme forecasts utility and total smart meters in the U.S. for 2012 and 2013. The U.S. smart meter market still remains relatively hot and represents a strong market opportunity for smart meter and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors. Although the pace of installations will taper off due to the completion of Smart Grid Investment Grant projects, about 60% of all U.S. electric meters will not have a smart meter by the end of 2013. Thus, utilities will further continue to deploy smart meters as part of larger grid modernization projects.

Gonzaga History 1990-1999
|Gonzaga Crew, about 1986
Gonzaga began competing for the first time in rowing as an intercollegiate sport in 1990. Previously, Fr. Mike Siconolfi got crew started in 1983, when it was only a club sport. Excellent skills, coaching, and financial support from Claire and Bob McDonald led to Gonzaga's success in the sport. Today, both the men's and women's crew teams compete nationally.
|Foley Center, 1992
|Rosauer Center, 1994
Named after donors Jessie and Mert Rosauer, in April 1994, the Rosauer Center opened to house Gonzaga's School of Education. This 34,800 square foot facility cost $4.3 million to build and equip. The building included faculty offices, technologically equipped classrooms, general purpose classrooms, seminar rooms, training rooms, computer labs, a media instruction room and counseling clinic.
Founded in 1994 to help at risk students, Campus Kids is an after school campus-based mentoring program focused on helping children grades 4th -6th succeed in academics and relationship building. The Center for Community Action and Service Learning (CCASL) oversees Campus Kids. Held from 3:30 to 5:00, Monday through Friday, the program has students and their GU mentors engage in a variety of activities, working on homework and educational games together, and sharing a healthy snack. Mentors visit their mentees at school once a week and participate in monthly Saturday activities

The same year, to combat hate through research, education, and advocacy, Gonzaga University Institute for Action Against Hate was founded. For three consecutive years beginning in 1995, African American students in the School of Law were the targets of racist mail and phone calls. The Law School and Gonzaga's Committee on Racial Equality and Cultural Understanding developed the Institute whose primary goal was to focus multi-disciplinary academic resources on the causes and effects of hate and find potential strategies for combating hate.
|Fall Family Weekend, 1999
|President Robert J.
Spitzer, S.J., 1998
On September 17, 1998, Fr. Robert J. Spitzer became the 25th President at Gonzaga replacing the short tenure of Fr. Glynn. Prior to Fr. Spitzer's arrival, Harry Sladich was the acting president. Fr. Spitzer's appointment came at a time when the school needed a leader to continue its reputation for excellence. President Spitzer, a 1974 graduate of Gonzaga, said his primary purpose would be to help Gonzaga enhance its profound mission toward its students and the Inland Northwest.
The Center for Community Action and Service-Learning (CCASL) started the Mission:Possible in 1999. This program has groups of 10 - 20 students travel up to 10 sites around the country and serve local communities during the university's spring break. Each site is coordinated by a student leader and at least one University Advisor.

It hasn't exactly been a swimming five years for Kathleen Sebelius, the secretary of Health and Human Services. Most recently, the 65-year-old took the blame for the disastrous ObamaCare rollout in October that included a website meltdown. Testifying before a congressional committee, Sebelius said, "Hold me accountable for the debacle. I'm responsible."
According to the New York Times, Sebelius approached President Obama last month to suggest that the March 31 sign-up deadline was a nice opportunity for a change, giving the White House a chance to appoint someone with less of a political target on her back to oversee the administration's signature legislative achievement.
Obama accepted Sebelius' resignation this week, and on Friday will reportedly nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, to replace her. Lauren Hansen
The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel released an opinion Saturday saying President Trump's plan to hire his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, for a senior advisory role in the White House does not run afoul of federal anti-nepotism law.
"We conclude that [the federal anti-nepotism statute] does not bar this appointment because the president's special hiring authority ... exempts positions in the White House Office" from the ban, the opinion tells Trump, later noting that in "choosing his personal staff, the president enjoys an unusual degree of freedom, which Congress found suitable to the demands of his office."
The 14-page document was prepared by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Daniel L. Koffsky, who is "a longtime career lawyer at Justice," as Politico reports, and not a Trump appointee. Kushner's appointment could still face an ethics challenge in court, though it is unclear how a plaintiff could demonstrate standing to sue. Bonnie Kristian
At least four people were killed and more injured after a tornado ripped through southern Mississippi Saturday morning, officials from the city of Hattiesburg reported on Twitter. Two of the deaths occurred in a trailer park, where impermanent structures offered less protection from the extreme weather.
The tornado struck around 4 a.m. "It woke me up and half the roof was gone," said Hattiesburg's Edna Smith, whose home was badly damaged. "I don't know what I'm going to do now. I'm going to try to get some help." Part of Smith's roof landed in her backyard, while the roof of her neighbor's porch shoved her car into a brick wall.
Hattiesburg Mayor Johnny DuPree declared a state of emergency as rescue efforts continue and 13,000 people remain without power. At least one local university has sent students home so destruction on campus can be repaired. Bonnie Kristian
Actress Ashley Judd took the stage at the Women's March on Washington following filmmaker Michael Moore on Saturday, and she shared a beat poem by 19-year-old Tennessean Nina Donovan titled "I am a nasty woman." Repeatedly referencing President Trump's insult for then-rival Hillary Clinton during the final presidential debate, the poem's author says she is a nasty woman — but "not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust, a man whose words are a dis to America, Electoral College-sanctioned hate speech."
"I didn't know devils could be resurrected, but I feel Hitler in these streets," Judd continued. "A moustache traded for a toupee, Nazis renamed." Watch her full performance below. Bonnie Kristian

After starting his second day in office with a stop at the interfaith National Prayer Service, President Trump is scheduled to visit the CIA. His nominee for CIA director, Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), is not expected to be confirmed until Monday at the soonest, but the visit may be designed to smooth relations with the agency after longstanding campaign controversy.
The event "is over capacity at 300+," tweeted Press Secretary Sean Spicer of Trump's visit to the CIA's headquarters at Langley. "Excited to thank the men and women of the intelligence community."
For weeks before taking office, Trump rejected the CIA's conclusion that Russia attempted to manipulate the U.S. election on his behalf, dismissing the U.S. intelligence community as "the same people that said Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction." As recently as last week, Trump said in a press conference that it is "disgraceful" American intelligence agencies like the CIA allowed the unverified dossier on his alleged ties to Russia to be released. "That's something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do," he charged. Bonnie Kristian
After a busy day of inaugural festivities Friday, President Trump's campaign rival, Hillary Clinton, did not attend the Women's March on Washington on Saturday — but she did tweet her support for the event.

The protest of the new Donald Trump administration on Saturday featured remarks from speakers including America Ferrera, Angela Davis, Gloria Steinem, Scarlett Johansson, Melissa Harris-Perry, and more.
An estimated 500,000 protesters converged on Washington for the Women's March; the crowd at Trump's inauguration the day before was projected to be 800,000 to 900,000 people. Both crowd tallies remain unofficial appraisals at this stage. Bonnie Kristian
"We march today for our families and our neighbors, for our future, for the causes that we claim and the causes that claim us," said actress America Ferrera on Saturday at the Women's March on Washington. "We march today for the moral core of this nation, against which our new president is waging a war."
"He would like us to forget the words, 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,' and instead take up a credo of hate, fear, and suspicion of one another," she continued, "but we are gathered here and across the country and around the world today to say, 'Mr. Trump, we refuse!'"
Originally expected to be attended by about 200,000 women, Washington officials now say the Women's March organizers estimate their numbers at half a million strong. Watch Ferrera's full speech below. Bonnie Kristian
After threat of invasion from neighboring Senegal to enforce election results, former President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia agreed to peacefully relinquish his post. Jammeh lost the contest in December and initially conceded. Then, a week later, he announced he would not leave office but rather would continue his two-decade rule of the tiny West African nation.
Saturday morning, Jammeh gave a televised speech announcing he has "decided today in good conscience to relinquish the mantle of leadership of this great nation with infinite gratitude to all Gambians." He insisted the decision "was not dictated by anything else but by the supreme interest of you, the Gambian people and our dear country," ignoring the arrival of Senegalese troops in his nation just 24 hours prior.
Jammeh first took power in 1994 after a military coup and once claimed he would rule Gambia for "a billion years." The new president, Adama Barrow, has been waiting in Senegal and will enter Gambia to take office as soon as a security sweep has been completed. Bonnie Kristian

Become One with the Cold - Page 2
Dress Up
When your windowpanes are framed in ice, it's natural to bundle up, but avoid overdressing. The key is covering all the body parts minimally, and, as per all active outdoor endeavors, allowing for shedding or adding lightweight, non-bulky layers.
For temps around freezing, a basic running kit consists of tights, short-sleeve wicking top, long-sleeve wicking top, a windbreaker or light rain jacket, cap or light wool or synthetic hat, fleece gloves, socks and shoes. If the temps are frigid and/or the wind is whipping, consider adding a light, wind-cutting vest and pants. Gore-Tex shoes shine this time of year, providing protection from slush and snow and added warmth.
Thin to medium wool socks provide warmth and comfort in snow, especially when combined with a lightweight gaiter (e.g. REI's Trail Running Gaiter). Other accessories might include a light facemask, neck gaiter (e.g. www.buff.us) and inov-8's Debris Sock.
To avoid the chilling effects of a heavy sweat, start out feeling a little cold, because you'll quickly warm. Remember to shed or add layers before you overheat or freeze, respectively.
Hydration is just as critical in winter as summer, but comes with its challenges when temps dip below the freezing mark. Bladder hoses can freeze faster than a Usain Bolt 100-meter race time. So look for insulated bladder-hose systems.
Ice Is Nice
Like driving your car on black ice, running on packed snow and ice requires extra traction, and there are three commonly used options. Pull-on/strap-on devices (e.g. 32north STABILicers SPORT, Yaktrax Pro and Kahtoola MICROspikes) work well, although they are bulky.

APA approves herbicide in Warren County's Loon Lake
RAY BROOK – The state Adirondack Park Agency voted unanimously Friday to approve the controversial use of a chemical herbicide to kill invasive plants in a Warren County lake.
The town of Chester plans to disperse 1,500 gallons of Renovate OTF, which goes by the chemical name triclopyr, in the southeastern corner of Loon Lake this spring. The project had been approved Thursday by the agency's Regulatory Programs Committee.
The herbicide would be used to kill Eurasian watermilfoil, which has clogged waterways across the Park and been a nuisance to boaters and swimmers. The town and the Loon Lake Park District Association are hoping the one-time application of the herbicide in a 15-acre bay near the lake's boat launch will help reduce the long-term costs of removing milfoil, which have topped $260,000 there over the past 10 years.
"It will allow us to gain more control over the rest of the lake," said Edward Griesmer, the association's president. "The use of Renovate, we believe, will allow us to deal with it in a more effective way."
The Adirondack Council, an environmental group, had called for a public hearing on the use of the chemical, citing the die-off of large numbers of snails when Renovate was used for the first time in the Park in Lake Luzerne in 2011.
APA staff said during a presentation Thursday that the treatment is taking place in the early spring before most aquatic plants in the lake begin to sprout. Staff also said there was no "conclusive" explanation for what caused the snails in Lake Luzerne to die all at once and that a study has found the species has been shown to die off naturally in large numbers in other Northeast lakes.
APA Commissioner Richard Booth suggested the agency host a general public hearing on the use of triclopyr in Adirondack lakes, saying he expects to see similar requests in the future from other local governments and lake associations dealing with invasive plant problems.
The herbicide is scheduled to be applied to Loon Lake via boat on May 13. A large curtain will be spread 600 feet across the lake to prevent the chemicals from being diluted by water outside the treatment area. Monitoring sites will also be set up, no swimming will be allowed until at least three hours after the treatment, and the use of lake water for drinking or consumption won't be allowed until the chemical's concentration falls below a certain level.
Gerald Delaney of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board thanked the agency for approving the use of the herbicide. Review Board Executive Director Fred Monroe, who is supervisor of the town of Chester and lives on Loon Lake, recused himself from Thursday's discussion of the project.

Rated 3.8 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by sad My son is very happy with the bat. My son liked the bat. What I'm concerned about is the listed price online. My son found the bat he was looking for and we purchased it online. When receiving the bat and taking it out of the box there was a ticketed price much lower. The store gave it to us for the lower ticketed price which is good. My concern is how can you do this. How can you sell it for so much more than what the ticketed price was marked. If I didn't catch the sticker on the bat we would have paid more. May 23, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jason the 1st baseman feels like a sweet spot bat This bat has good pop and a big barrel but when you make solid contact, it feels like you just hit a ball with a sweet spot bat. Its a good bat and all but if youre like me and you love that feeling of when you hit a shot with an all maple bat, stay away from this mixture of composite and wood. Im on my way to return it rite now. It feels really really weak wen u make conmtact. August 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by FrozenRoper10 Amazing Bat This bat has really good pop and is used as a BP bat for my varsity hs team so it sees a lot of use. It's holds up well and the ball feel really good off the bat. As long as you don't take a pitch off the handle the bat will last awhile! I recently got jammed and the composite got all cracked along the handle. Unfortunately I think the bat might be dead now because the ball doesn't carry at all like it use to.. March 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Haha Crack I used it for JV one year and it cracked in between wood and composite June 5, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5�by Dakota bad and good It was good for one hit but it broke that one hit but good thing is i cranked it over!!! February 20, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Benny19 Amazing bat! I just got this bat and I already love it!! Great pop in it!! Im going to stick with this bat for as long as I can!! August 13, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5�by Quick as Lightening Good pop but breaks on handle I used this and love it until my 6th game it broke. For the price and how it breaks on the handle its not a good value. July 24, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by Matt Pinnacle of wood bats I broke three bats last season before purchasing the DeMarini. Surprisingly, the bat took my punishment for the remainder of the season. I hit balls off the bitter end and handle, shots which would have definitely shattered other bats. When the bat did finally break, it seems to have broken inside but has not cracked or shattered. I will be purchasing another for this season! February 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by Big sexxy this bat is so nasty............ very nasty bat such a good pop and will make the ball travel..... but after about 2 years or something like that i broke my friends playing in a varsity tournament and he is trying to make me pay lol... but overall very very good bat like it alot...

L. & LITIG. 287 (2011) 1049-0280 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/11464 64 pages This Article analyzes the aggressive, creative strategies of promoting sustainable growth illustrated in the proposed federal surface transportation bill, Oregon's new law, and California's recent anti-sprawl legislation. This Article also reviews Portland, Oregon's green building policy as well as California's statewide policy, and concludes that strategies that reform the permitting process to provide an incentive for infill green building development are ideally suited to fulfill the mandate of Oregon's S.B. 1059—or any state's respective goal to achieve sustainable growth and consequently reduce green house gas (GHG) emissions. Specifically, this Article advocates adoption of form-based codes for infill development that incorporate green building elements as a method to spur construction within city centers and along transit corridors. Due to the inherent flexibility of green building rating systems, this technique allows a community to tailor infill building projects to adhere to a particular standard form11 and yet still include desirable compact, mixed-use, and connectivity components that have been proven to significantly reduce GHG emissions. Importantly, this Article proposes to modify the traditional building permitting process to allow for approval through a state council if a particular project conforms to the local government's form-based code and includes certain smart-growth characteristics. In this way, the very nonlocal impacts of GHG emissions from lowdensity car-dependent development can be redressed by the state, while at the same time ensuring the local community's concerns are addressed in the first instance. This balanced approach provides local governments the continued ability to control their community's sense of place and also effectively reduces GHG emissions. en_US University of Oregon School of Law Sustainable architecture Cities and towns -- Growth Anti-sprawl Greenhouse gas mitigation Journal of Environmental Law & Litigation : Vol. 26, No. 1, p. 287-350 : Smart Growth and Green Building: An Effective Partnership to Significantly Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Smart Growth and Green Building: An Effective Partnership to Significantly Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions Article

I celebrated Thai National Elephant Day with a visit to the Smithsonian's National Zoo. I was joined by Nantana Sivakua, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Thai Embassy, and it brought back so many memories! As a child growing up in Washington, D.C. the National Zoo was where I first learned about the importance of animal conservation. I remember as a small child my visits to the National Zoo and being fascinated by the animals and by stories of their homelands. Little did I know that as an adult I'd live in Thailand and have a chance to help promote animal conservation programs. I know the people of Thailand feel just as passionate as I do in wanting future generations to see the incredible biodiversity of our world.
We got a great tour from Dennis Kelly, Director of the National Zoo, who introduced us to some of the Zoo's elephants -- Ambika, Shanthi, and Kandula. Kandula is a Washingtonian just like me! He was born at the Zoo on November 25, 2001. Here's a picture of me giving a small treat to Ambika. And look at this cute dessert that the zoo staff assembled as a treat for the elephants on this special day. You can see even more pictures at the Smithsonian's National Zoo's flickr page.
Dennis showed us around the new "Elephant Trails" facility that will be opening in 2013 to give the elephants even more exercise space, as well as the Zoo's world-class veterinary care and attention. We learned a great deal about the Smithsonian's global collaborations to support conservation efforts for this and other magnificent animals back in Thailand. Smithsonian scientists have conducted exchanges with Thai zoologists, park officials, government officers, and professors. Our hosts at the Zoo also told us about future conservation efforts they hope to launch in Thailand that would focus on not only elephants, but also deepening our conservation efforts with clouded leopards, dholes, Eld's deer, and the Malayan tapir.
It's so unique to see such a magnificent animal in North America, and it says so much about the global partnerships we've launched to preserve these treasures. Science knows no borders, and just like the elephants, we too are part of the global habitat we must conserve for generations to come. I hope visits to the National Zoo will continue to inspire today's children to do the same.

Mary, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Your talent and vision never ceases to astound me. I was amazed at some of your first works in our gallery right through to the last ones. You have a way with Poser and 3D that is unmatched. To this day I can't understand how you can pull the emotions and caring that you do from 3D figures. Here is to a fantastic 2012 and a spectacular 2013 filled with the artistic works of Nightsong! Bravo my friend, Bravo!
Mary is one of the coolest people to work with. When I was working with her on Michelle I would always get excited to receive an email from her with some new renders she did. Her work in Poser in nothing short of brilliant. I am truly a fan of her work. Beyond that she is such an easy person to get along with. I hope in the future to work with her again. I find a collaboration with Mary to be fun, exciting, and satisfying! Props to you Nightsong! You are a unique talent and, I find your work inspiring! Keep on doing what you do! I have to echo what Traveler just said. Bravo!
Mary is soulful, and expressive in her work, from the apocalypse to the Angeloi, its amazing what she packs into her work, and does so successfully. It is really a thrill, I mean, I get a kick out of having her as our DNA Promo Artist. I am able to communicate so easily what my vision is for advertising, and she comes back with that and more. She takes it out of my hands and into her own special arena.
Mary you are fun, invigorating, humorous, and talented. You meet deadlines better than anyone I know, and you bring joy to people, not only through your work but through your person and your communication with all of us.
As my family will cheerfully attest, there are very few things in this world that can make this chatterbox at a complete loss for words. This is evidently one of them. I just sat here for the longest time, and didn't know what to say. I'm surprised, shocked, humbled, and so, completely, utterly thankful to everything RDNA is and what y'all have added to my life.
Thank you guys, everyone I've had the privilege to work with (as an artist, challenge junkie, moderator, vendor, and member of the community) has been super, gracious, and kind. You've taught me -so much- about so many things. I don't know how on Earth I'm going to live up to something like this, there are so many wonderful artists here on RDNA, so many talented people that just blow me out of the water, and so much I have yet to learn. But, you know what? I'm going to spend every day trying.
I am speechless Mary. I embrace detail, emotion as well as color and light. Your work is outstanding and never ceases to grab me and pull me in. And I have to admit I fall hard and fast into your beautiful world. Thank you for your generous sharing and I look forward to many more.
Very nice to see the work by Nightsong,I like her vision and sweet style
My own vison is more dark art, but I enjoy to see the light vision from others artists
Great artists like Nightsong
Congratulations Mary!

Judge: T-shirt featuring Soglin doesn't violate copyright
Soglin image on shirt accompanied by "Sorry for Partying" phrase
MADISON, Wis. - A federal judge says there's no need to be sorry for a T-shirt featuring the official portrait of Madison Mayor Paul Soglin.
The T-shirt features Soglin's picture with the phrase "Sorry For Partying." It was created by the apparel company Sconnie Nation and Underground Printing-Wisconsin for sale at an annual end-of-the-school-year party that draws hundreds of University of Wisconsin-Madison students.
The Wisconsin State Journal reported Soglin has supported ending the event because of excessive drinking. Soglin was arrested at the precursor of the party as a UW-Madison student in 1969 when he was protesting the Vietnam War.
Photographer Michael Kienitz shot Soglin's portrait and claimed use of it on the T-shirt violated his copyright.
Federal Judge Stephen Crocker said Thursday use of the photo was OK as political criticism.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- No single number is more important to this stock market than the monthly employment number, Jim Cramer told his "Mad Money" TV show viewers Friday, as he laid out his game plan for next week's trading.
Cramer said that while it will be hard to replicate this week's rally to new highs, the markets may still have the wind at its back starting on Saturday.

Recently in Albany, Georgia, a convenience store was robbed and the entire robbery was caught on tape. The Climax convenience store was robbed at gun point just an hour before its closing time. The thief made off with $300 from the cashier register but left the two employees working there at the time unharmed.
Despite the fact that the entire robbery was caught on tape, the police still have not been able to find the burglar and are asking for any one with information to come forward. The police arrested two men that matched the suspects description, and while both had warrants neither was the person they were looking for. Needless to say some of the workers are still very worried about coming back to work.

"Just to view what happened on the camera made me cry because these are my employees," said Nicoa West, an employee of Climax who was not on duty during the time of the robbery. …

|70 Tower Parkway, New Haven, CT 06520
Payne Whitney Gymnasium, which is in the process of an exterior restoration, was constructed in 1932 under the direction of John Russel Pope. The gym is one of the most complete units of indoor facilities in the world. The building was given to the University by the Whitney family in memory of their son Payne Whitney, class of 1898. The nine and one half story structure contains training centers for crew, gymnastics, swimming, general exercise, recreational and varsity strength and conditioning and a state of the art fencing salon.
The Dwyer Sports Medicine Center, located on the first floor, is the primary rehabilitation facility for Yale Athletics. The recently renovated center includes seven treatment tables, physician's examination room, hydrotherapy room, dental mouthguard lab, isokinetic bicycles, a Kin Com Isokinetic testing and training device, an upper body ergometer, stairmaster and treadmill.
The highlight of the second floor is the Kiphuth Trophy Room, which features Yale memorabilia dating back to 1842. On each side of the tower are the wings which reach five and one-half stories in height. One wing is the John J. Lee Amphitheater, the home of Yale basketball, gymnastics and volleyball, and the other is the Robert J.H. Kiphuth Exhibition Swimming Pool. This historic building is currently in the midst of a $100 million renovation under the direction of the architectural firms of Ellerbe Becket and Cesar Pelli. Phase I of the renovation was completed with the opening of the William K. Lanman Center in April, 1999.
The Lanman Center adds 57,000 square feet of new space that provides four regulation basketball and volleyball courts, 20 basketball stations and six badminton courts, along with a one-eighth-mile indoor running track. Other additions in Phase I include 15 international squash courts and three exhibition courts, one of which is the only four-glass-wall court in the country. Also new is the magnificent 20,000-square foot Adrian C. "Ace" Israel Fitness Center, which includes the 7,000-square foot Brooks-Dwyer Varsity Strength and Conditioning Room. In addition, new locker rooms for varsity basketball, crew, fencing, gymnastics, squash, volleyball and women's general membership were completed. Future phases include a 50-meter pool with a separate spring board and tower diving facility, expanded gymnastics and fencing centers and additional improvements to membership locker rooms and the John J. Lee Amphitheater lobby. Yale is proud to house one of the most magnificent gymnasiums in the world and is committed to ensuring that it meets the needs of today's modern athlete. The new Payne Whitney Gymnasium will carry forth the great history and traditions of Yale Athletics into the next century.

It is through our independent, accredited simulation and testing laboratories that the fenestration manufacturers contract with to obtain their certification for rated values of U-factor, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient, Visible Transmittance, Condensation Resistance, and Air Leakage.
NFRC accredited laboratories undergo extensive auditing procedures to ensure confidence that the laboratories' produce credible and accurate results and without bias.
Simulation laboratories employ NFRC certified simulators that generate the computer simulated results for the fenestration manufacturers. Certified simulators, as part of the LAP, attend a four-day certification workshop and must pass examinations before they achieve the status of NFRC Certified Simulator. The NFRC conducts the rigorous certification workshop annually and we have many that attend every year, including simulators that are not affiliated with an NFRC accredited simulation laboratory. Those NFRC certified simulators not affiliated with an NFRC accredited laboratory are listed on our website and they must maintain their certification every year. Maintenance of the simulation certification requires participation in an annual Interlaboratory comparison and attendance to mandatory training workshops.
Testing laboratories, those that physically test fenestration products, are an integral part of the fenestration product certification. The thermal transmittance (U-factor) laboratories are contracted by the fenestration manufacturer to validate their product line. Validation is achieved by comparing the physical U-factor test (NFRC 102) to the same simulated option. If they are in tolerance, the entire product line of simulated results are "validated." When products cannot be simulated, the NFRC has accreditation procedures to for laboratories to physically test for solar heat gain via NFRC 201, visible transmittance via NFRC 202 and NFRC 203, and air leakage via NFRC 400.
The Accreditation Policy Committee (APC) oversees NFRC's Laboratory Accreditation Program (LAP) and they grant final approval of accreditation of testing and simulation laboratories.

Crossing the Prince Edward Island
In August, Denver's Jeremy Bradford took a break from his busy—and successful—racing schedule to make the first-known attempt at crossing Canada's Prince Edward Island in one shot
When Jeremy Bradford's relatives scheduled a family reunion for mid-August this year, it meant he would have to miss running the Leadville Trail 100 for what would have been the third straight year.
But to Denver native Bradford, who has finished 10 ultramarathons in 2012 – winning six of them, including five 100-milers – this was no excuse to slack off.
"I can imagine what you are probably thinking and it's true," he says. "I'm that type of obsessed runner who turns every family vacation into some sort of running event."
Some research revealed that the town of Cap-Pele, in New Brunswick, Canada – where Bradford's French-Canadian family would be staying – was only a short drive away from a bridge connecting to the Prince Edward Island (PEI), a 2,100-square-foot province that sits across the Northumberland Strait to the north and east of New Brunswick.
"I found that there is a trail on PEI called the Confederation Trail, that runs the entire length of the island from tip to tip," says Bradford. "I quickly became fascinated with the idea of traversing the entire trail and started scouring the internet for any information about fastest-known-times."
But he could not unearth any evidence of previous attempts to traverse the entire 279-kilometer (approximately 173-mile) tip-to-tip trail that runs from Tignish to Elmira. He sent an e-mail to the PEI RoadRunners, who put him in touch with local runner and Confederation Trail guru Michael Gaudet. "He informed me that to the best of his knowledge no one has ever attempted to run the entire length of the trail in a single shot before," Bradford says.
It also turned out Gaudet was planning his own September attempt at running the entire trail without stopping.
"When Jeremy contacted me he said he would hold off doing the run if I was hoping to be the first," Gaudet says. "I told him my motivation was not to be first but to hopefully finish."
"He [even offered] me his support and that of his friends and other runners on the island," Bradford added.
It was not the only support Bradford would receive.
"Luckily, my wife seems to enjoy supporting me, and my kids are young enough to think playing in the woods for hours while waiting for their daddy is fun," he says. "But really, I feel incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive family."

In Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a bank robber was put in his place after getting tackled by a 54-year-old man. The robber was pacing back and forth between to clerks and did not notice Matt Knetzger slowly coming up behind him before he pounced on the crook from behind.
The bank robber was revealed to be Senister Smith a frequent customer of the bank who reportedly robbed the bank because he had fallen on hard times. He walked into the bank covered in all black clothing and a ski mask. He then handed two notes to the tellers commanding them to put the money in the bag. Knetzger, a 54 year old grandfather, was in the back of the room eating a snack while the robbery was taking place. After finishing his snack Knetzger decided to do something about it and tackled the man.
When asked why he was so quick to make a move, Knetzger said he was simply worried for his wife's safety. After tackling the young robber he also held him to the ground until police arrived. The best part is that it was all caught on the banks security cameras, effectively ensuring that they would always remember the hero of the day.

This is an important article.What has suffered in the name of efficiency is honesty. Engineers who move ahead are masters of presentation and optimism. The boss listens for what he wants to hear. "I will have it done tomorrow." is much better than "it might take 3 weeks.". Much of the work is done by consulting firms. They care about billable hours, not intelligent design (the type man does that is). As the commercial asked - Were's the beef ?
Interesting point of view. I don't think it's CAD and time-to-manufacture, so much as it is lowered expectations that have been ingrained from our experiences with computing. No one thinks twice when they need to reboot a PC during a workday. We put up with software locking up, we shrug our shoulders at the vagaries of CAD programs & other Name Brand SoftWare. Nobody demands the best when "just good enough" is universally accepted. No sense complaining about bugs & workarounds when no one will bother to fix them, they'll just sell you the next bell & whistle. So, those attitudes carry over to other walks of life. Mundane is good enough.
The article selects a specific medium (e.g. CAD) on which to pin its message. The article engenders a discussion beyond any one medium. As everything in the developed world continues to converge we are increasingly forced to focus on 'good enough,' which often isn't. In the U.S., at the top of the economic food chain, we feel the need to shave wherever possible in order to stay on top. This means the niceties of exacting fit'n'finish become cost items, extras we convince ourselves customers aren't willing to pay for. In many cases, our customers are in the same situation and, indeed, cannot pay for anything beyond good enough.This article itself is a classic self-representation of the topics it decries. It is replete with a lack of grammar checking, spell checking, and the like (e.g. 'thee' instead of 'the', and so on). Not looking to dwell on typos to the detriment of the message, but it is it's own best example of the problem at hand.Editor, where were you before this was posted?
Dear Readers My opinion is that there are still gaps to be filled when we start using CAD It has to grow a long way to stabilize That does not mean they are not good They are good for faster flexiblity in deisgn , altering the design , fastness in drafting , on line messaging , clarity , visualisation ,printing & easy to get itself for CAM , I mean Computer Aided Manufacturing I do accept that the percentage of curomer returns for various products from various industries are growing after this CAD One way is to have Mentors for the CAD Team while designing and releasing the drawings The Mentors should be from a cross functional team of senior experts - from Design , Manufacturing, Assembly , Marketing and Service And the CAD Designers should be given an opportunity to interact / see with their own eyes of what is what and not confined to their desks alone The fact is that we have to develop a lot in CAD associated Softwares The journey towards perfection is through excellence which is always elusive But let us be on the route We will continue that Anyhow, a GOLDEN BLEND of the 'OLD - BRICKS' & 'YOUNG CLICKS' will be ruling the world by contineous upgradation for the betterment of human society/ living at large
What leads to poor quality in the elevator? The customer. Period. If the custom will accept a lower level of quality then the manufacturer will make it. It is up to the owner during the walk through to point out the elevator panel and say that it is unacceptable and that it must be fixed. No one else is to blame. CAD and technology are irrelevant to this core issue. If you can complete the drawing/design in X number of hours, then you have just proved that it can be done. People worked just as hard and put in just as many long hours when they pushed pencils. Driving workers for every last drop of productivity is not a new concept that was introduced along with the computer.If the drawing goes straight from the designers desk to the shop with no quality control, then it is a quality control issue. A drawing created using pencil and paper could have taken the same route to the shop. Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall on the back of a napkin. But the engineering and plans were completed using very high powered computers. Which is the better method? Neither. The better method is the one that works. CAD works. CAD saves time. But the quality is unrelated to the medium.
DRAWING CHECKER:The old fart that made sure the drawing fully defined the part. I hated this guy, until he discovered a mistake that would have cost the company a forture and the loss of my reputation and maybe my job. This guy was the teacher who in time taught me to become "THE CHECKER"
Ever since the introduction oF CAD in ALL spheres of manufacturing, the VERY important role of the checker had been undermined. Progressively, all CAD product manufacturers have added "self checking" features into their products. In the early days, these were very basic, and were nearly always subject to debate on accuracy. Nowadays we are being led to believe that they are the "bible". Not true, nothing that the programmers can instigate can equate to "gut feel", "eye for error", "true professionalisim".We live in a world that demands excellent results instantly, yet in most cases, the basic training does not exist so that the operator can mentally visualize potential traps along the way. And to add to the mayhem that is increasing in all areas, "CAD Operators" are increasingly being given the design roles - they are cheaper (initaily). I too started on the "board", could accurately forecast timeframes, and even though I strove for perfection, I occasionally tripped up. Thank God for "The Checker".Let's not kid ourselves, we must be vigilant, trust the product we use to achieve our aims, but we must NOT retire the Checker.
A simple question deserves a simple answer. No, CAD/CAM does not diminish quality. I too started on the drafting table and was good at it. But I jumped on the opportunity to be on e of the first to use CAD and explored 3D CAD immediately with outstanding results. The interesting issue around quality was that back in those days, engineering required that my CAD models meet the 2D drawings "exactly" and of course the 3D CAD modeling found flaw after flaw after flaw in the design. That of course lead to me being the pain that nobody wanted to talk too. I'll lay odds that some of these guys are still around today and remember. I have also contacted some of these guys over the years and almost all will say that they must have been out of their mind to think that 2D Ink on Mylar was more accurate then 3D CAD modeling for design. You see, when I left, the company felt the unfortunate pain of a single expert leaving. CAD use became a requirement for everyone.
Ah yes Checkers. Well, again some functioned extremely well but the work overload and ability to properly do any sort of accurate tolerance analysis was pretty much non-existant. Howerver, where checkers became doomed is when they "took advantage" of the CAD technology and started sending drawings back for totally non-valued changes that had absolutely nothing to do with quality. They became editors who wanted entire views moved around, endless dimensions positioned slightly different, font changes, text size changes, underline this and don't underline that. So I think it fair that some responsability for the unfortunate doom of checkers be accepted by many (NOT ALL) checkers.
I do however think there is great opportunity for checkers to return to be what I think they really ought to be and that is in dimensional management being specialist in the dimensional management control or tolerance analysis. Stuff that has real value. My guess on the elevator example is that the dimensional control was non-existant or just plain in accurate and again nothing to do with the CAD technology.
I will say this; Original thinking, Innovation, still takes just as long. CAD does not help that, which is often misunderstood. Use of CAD speeds up the development of an idea, but the talent and time it takes to originate the idea is still worth it's weight in gold.
It would seem logical that if you complain about quality you would proof read the article to discover any quality problems in your article. Without counting, I would say that there are at least 6-10 errors in grammar or left out words in the first page alone.I would trust your content more and would perhaps have read on.

Six years before his death in 1826, Thomas Jefferson constructed a text for his own personal library, which he often read each night for 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime. The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth — commonly referred to as The Jefferson Bible — is a compendium of clippings from the four gospels of the New Testament. The former president and author of the Declaration of Independence cut passages from six texts composed in four languages — English, French, Greek, and Latin — and pasted them in separate columns, side by side, so that he could study and compare the different translations.
The 77-year-old Deist believed Jesus' life and teachings to be "the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man." But Jefferson was a product of the Enlightenment and was skeptical of the four authors of the Gospels. He intended to tell a chronological version of Jesus' life, eliminating the passages that appeared "contrary to reason." There's no resurrection story at the closing of Jefferson's Bible; the tomb is shut.
As outlined in the video above, Jefferson's Bible has undergone a meticulous conservation process and is now being displayed through May 28, 2012 at the Albert Small Documents Gallery in the National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. If you can't make the trip, or even if you can, be sure to check out the online exhibition, which provides high-quality, zoomable photographic images of each of the 84 pages of The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth. And they're all transcribed too!

Degale wins gold for Britain
BEIJING (AP) James Degale looked at his gold medal from Beijing, then looked ahead four years to another Olympics.
"How can I follow this up?" he repeated a question Saturday night. "By winning in 2012 in my home city of London. That's the way I'll do it."
"I must admit it would be hard to say no to a million pounds," Degale said of a potential professional contract.
By beating Cuba's Emilio Correa 16-14 in an ugly middleweight bout marred by more holding than punching and a significant amount of dancing as the two fighters' arms kept getting tangled, Degale showed some resilience. He also displayed a whole bunch of poor tactics, from keeping his hands too low to grabbing Correa with both arms a dozen times a round.
But he also showed boxing skills, quick jabs and an ability to escape danger.
English boxers who make it big in the pros not only get rich, but they enjoy lasting fame. Currently, Ricky Hatton is an icon in England, and Degale has the outgoing personality and flash to eventually get to that point.
But his ring skills are raw, so another four years as an amateur might be the right choice for the 22-year-old Degale.
That's particularly true if coach Terry Edwards hangs around to lead the British team.
"Terry's like our pops," Degale said. "If Terry stays, that's it, I stay."
Then he hedged again.
"Obviously they will have to compensate me. If they give me more money and a couple (of) sponsors ... amateur boxing is me."
The crowd didn't think so, jeering both fighters as the waltzing reached the ridiculous stage. At times it was Degale's fault, and others Correa was responsible for the lack of action.
Correa, whose father won gold at the 1972 Olympics, was accused of biting in the first round by Degale. When the Cuban challenged that at a news conference, Degale pulled open his shirt to show the mark.
He couldn't find it.
"He might have run into me when my mouth was open," Correa said. "But I didn't bite him."
Correa and Degale were upset by the boos and whistles in the packed arena.
"It's disrespect," Degale said. "Bits of the fight were all right. There was not so much holding and scrapping.
"They love boxing here and they are a boxing country."
So is England, and Degale knows if he sticks it out through 2012, another gold medal before his countrymen would be outstanding.
But so would a pro title of any kind, leaving Degale with a difficult decision.
