Artist, architect, and computer addict—Muti Randolph of Rio de Janeiro—erases and redraws the lines between various fields to create graphic and sculptural designs for sets, nightclubs, and runways. A mixer of graphics, illustrations, sculpture, light, and music, his larger than life elaborate sets encompass the magnificence of light and elements of geometry. At Coachella 2011, Randolph presented a seamless visual installation Mirage that led concertgoers to experience music, not only with sound but also with sight. The worlds Randolph dreams up are "total immersion experiences."
The Creators Project: Do you consider yourself an artist, an architect, or a designer? Do you see any difference between these things?
Muti Randolph: I think that my work is within all of these disciplines, encompassing a little bit of everything. I think this is nice; it's part of what I believe, erasing the limits and transforming things.
How did you start creating? Did you study anything in particular?
I started a while ago. Actually, when I was a little kid I was sure that I was going to be a doctor.
I was crazy about biology. The first reference I had in biology was medicine. Later I felt revolted by mankind and gave up studying medicine--so I decided to study biology. I thought it was noble. It was something I was really crazy about. But I've always drawn as well and I've always been crazy about videogames. After I had already exhibited my works and so on, I ended up getting into college to study visual communication at Pontifícia Universidade Católica (PUC) on a scholarship. My education was in graphic design, with some industrial design as well.
How early did technology begin playing a role in your work?
When I started studying at PUC, I already had a Macintosh. It was a major revolution. Then when Photoshop was launched, I wanted to master it. It was wonderful. I would use 3D software as well. Sometime after that I did the cover for Planet Hemp's second album, and several elements from the cover were included in the show. It was my first real project in terms of set design.
And you've evolved to designing amazing things like the Galeria Melissa in São Paulo, which I've heard has become quite the tourist attraction. People go to São Paulo just to see the building's façade. Tell us a little bit about this project.
It was the first store I designed, and it's also an architecture project. I had already worked with Melissa doing their spaces at São Paulo Fashion Week and other stuff. But in commercial terms my work on the Galeria Melissa is absurd. That's why it became a tourist attraction, because this space is a screen. It's a space to create, to change. In spite of being designed for that purpose the store sells like hell.
What's next for you?
I think it will soon be possible to make things that I always wanted to do but couldn't because of technological restraints. I really like projection projects because it's possible to project on wavy surfaces; this is almost my main thing. I work with physical distortions. I work with simple images that are physically forced to change by the space. Then it's a mixture of sculpture and light, with the light structure and with music. In my architecture projects, which are projects of my own design, the graphic and illustration elements are really important as elements of a tridimensional project. Take my work with Melissa, for instance. It has a 3D support for graphics. You end up forming the third dimension as well. I'm mixing the elements.

Bertha Mae 'Bea' Payette West
MARQUETTE, MI. – Bertha Mae "Bea" Payette West, 93, resident of Brookridge Memory Care died peaceably January 21, 2013.
She was born January 20, 1920 in Randallstown, Maryland and was very proud that she had lived in 27 different places during her life, moving often during the years her first husband Ralph A. Payette was in the Army. After Ralph retired from the service, she lived in Pikesville, MD, and Reisterstown, MD, then moved to Marquette in 1983 (a year after Ralph's death). On November 16, 1985, she married retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Leonard A. West, whom she had met on a blind date and fell in love with at first sight. She then split her years between their winter home in Alamogordo, NM and their summer home in Marquette before living 7 years at Woodland Assisted Living, Negaunee.
She worked as an R.N. for many years in the Baltimore area, at Lutheran Hospital, Montrose State School, Crittenden Home, to name a few. In 1974, she took a leave of absence from her job to obtain her B.A. in Nursing at St Joseph's College in Maine.
She was a leader of the Old Court Girls 4-H Club for almost 25 years, working along side of her friend, Wilma Nott. She also volunteered at many summer 4-H camps as an instructor and camp nurse. Bea taught kids first aid, knitting, crochet, and one year when the cooks shorted the campers and took home the food, she and Wilma ended up being the camp cooks for the week.
In Marquette, she volunteered at the mall taking blood pressures and donated over 300 hours at the local Planned Parenthood office. She had a love for the outdoors and loved to oil paint. For many years, you could see evidence of her work on the spare tire cover of the RV that she & Len used to travel around the country. Len also taught her to golf. She loved to have afternoon tea and cookies with her neighbors in Alamogordo and often played Uno with a group of friends in Marquette.
She was a member of Grace Methodist Church while in Alamogordo and at First United Meth-odist Church in Marquette.
She is preceded in death by her parents Richard Eugene and Ella Victoria McGinnis, two brothers, Milburn (Mac) McGinnis and Robert Douglas McGinnis (Charlotte) of Baltimore, and both husbands, Ralph A. Payette and Leonard A. West. She is survived by five children Patricia E. Payette of Bayonne, N.J. Kimasa Sindel of St. Louis, Mo, James R. Payette (Susan) of Lexington, VA, Michael K. Payette of Curlew, WA., and Kathleen Foulks (Steven) of Marquette, MI., nine grandchildren Liz (Greg) Issitt of St. Louis, Geoffrey (Megan) Sindel of St. Louis, Jason Sindel of St. Louis, Jed Payette of Lexington, Va, Jenny (Duffy) Pope of Knoxville,TN, Rachel Payette of Las Vegas, NV, Nicole Payette of Spokane , WA, Douglas (Megan) Foulks of Marquette, MI and Danielle Foulks of Ionia, MI and seven great-grandchildren Mariah, Aubrey, Josh, Tony, Jasmine, Annie and Madison, a step-daughter Patricia (Marcus) Brady of Alamogordo, three step- grandchildren, Shane, Troy, and Theresa, and four step-great- grandchildren Gabriel, Samantha, Bobby, and Alexia.
A memorial service will be held at the Brookridge Heights Assisting Living Facility on Sunday, February 3, at 2:00 pm with Rev. Steve McCoy officiating. The family will greet relatives and friends beginning at 1:00 pm until the time of service.
Donations can be made in her honor to Planned Parenthood of West and Northern Michigan, 1219 N. Third St., Marquette, MI. 49855 or First United Methodist Church 111 E Ridge St Marquette, MI 49855.
The Swanson-Lundquist Funeral Home is serving the family, where condolences may be expressed online at www.swansonlundquistfuneralhome.com.

Skip to comments.Missing parts? Salamander regeneration secret revealed
Posted on 05/20/2013 7:20:34 PM PDT by Redcitizen
Salamanders can regrow entire limbs and regenerate parts of major organs, an ability that relies on their immune systems, research now shows.
A study of the axolotl, an aquatic salamander, reveals that immune cells called macrophages are critical in the early stages of regenerating lost limbs. Wiping out these cells permanently prevented regeneration and led to tissue scarring. The findings hint at possible strategies for tissue repair in humans.

Beat me to it!
My brother had his thumb cut off from an accident at a construction site. He was up on a ladder handling some cables (he's an electrician) and, due to someone dropping something, the cables sped loose and took his thumb right with it.
I gave him the thumbs up when I saw him that day.
i saw a thing where a guy lost his thumb in an accident then lost his foot in another but they put his big toe where his thumb used to be
"i saw a thing where a guy lost his thumb in an accident then lost his foot in another but they put his big toe where his thumb used to be"
I seem to remember something like that. I told him that was the solution to his missing-thumb problem too.
Me and my man...atee.
are you saying it would save huge manatee and whales all in one breath
I see a family resemblance...
Was his name... Tony?
So did he get his thumb reattached? LOL at giving him thumbs up.
By a nose!
A friend of mines nephew was working on a cat and ended up sticking his hand in the fan. They are going to put his big toe where his thumb was.
Maybe this information can be combined with scaffolding technology.
Reminds. Me of when my friend (and employer) got in an awful motorcycle wreck. He didn't know what from where for an extended period.
Anyway, they had a wax board in his room " your nurses name is ______' your doctors name is ______".
The fun was Today's date is______"
One of his daughters, , to my chagrin at the time, used to wait until he nodded off for a few minutes, then change the date. .....
It took me awhile to see the humor, but damn...that was LOL stuff.
Nah, his name is Larry. They couldn't reattach the thumb. It was too messed up. He's still working though. He had previously just gotten a promotion, and so now they sit him at a desk organizing and planning, and when he goes out he still manages to make it work. He didn't sue.
His boss later told him "Well, at least now you can't sit around with your thumb up your ***"! A friend of his also said "Hey, man, I wanna play thumb war with you!" The thumb incident led to great fun!
LOL, that does sound fun!
I've since thought, who would I rather have visit me in the hospital—the dour serious relative, or one that will screw with my mind a bit....
shoulda gave him a hand...
In other news his hands finally fit real nice in oven mitts...
I'll take the one that will screw with my mind.
I can't stand dour people in a hospital setting.
"In other news his hands finally fit real nice in oven mitts..."
LOL I am going to tell him that!
A few years after my mom died, I went through a box she had in her closet (yes, it took a few years) anyway, I found a hand-made card from a 8 year old me that I made for her when she was in the hospital with ovarian cancer back in the sixties.
It said " Have A Happy Operation". LOL!
I had no idea back then. But she kept it.
Nurse came in and said my Mom had driven all the way to New Mexico because they were told I was going to die. And Mom wanted to see me.
I told the nurse to give me a minute, rolled my head to the side, crossed my eyes, and started drooling.
The nurse actually slapped my shoulder and called me an unkind name as she was laughing.
Hey. Being serious or whiney doesn't change the outcome. That's in God's Hands.
And laughter is the best medicine.
I never thought about it from the patients angle.
That was hilarious!
If, may God Forbid, am ever in the hospital, I'm doing something just like that!
I thought I had missed my destination and gone to Hell for a confused moment.
When I finally got their attention, I signalled that I wanted a pencil and they held a pad and I scrawled "TV EVIL!!!!" and the doc looked weird at me and told the nurse to turn off the TV. My brother laughed when the doc told him about it.
Otherwise, I tried to take as good care of the care staff as they took care of me. Being a problem patient wasn't going to get me better care, and they didn't deserve to get lashed at because I didn't feel well.
It worked for me.
I wouldn't mind having a set of teef, a kidney and my spleen back, if they can make it work.
Tv Evil! LOL.
Jokes aside, you don't sound like a problem patient at all. It seemed to me the staff already knew you a bit before you joked around..
I remember seeing stories about this but think it was the toe next to the big toe.
If you take the big toe there is serious implications to mobility/walking gate. Now if they took it off what used to be your foot, then mobility is probably already affected.
Bizarrely, I have 'regrown' finger tips, a frontal lobe, an entire ankle bone and whole top of my hand which were sheared off by a horse's hooves.
There are virtually no scars anywhere that indicate I've ever been injured.
And you thought my user name was just "cute".
One of my snake acquaintances lost his thumb to a Rattler bite and now has a big toe where it used to be.
If he'd bother to keep the nail trimmed, it might not look so freaky.
Yes, I've always thought your user name was cute,
but no, I never thought it was just cute.
You'd think he'd leave your personal life out of it and fix your medical problem...
I'm jealous. I've live an... 'exciting' life in a lot of ways, and I'm a virtual canvas of abstract art done in scar tissue.
Some folks look away when I take off my shirt.
Scars are interesting.
You must run into a lot of sissies.
Anything is possible, but without your big toe you cannot walk with that foot.
I cannot imagine giving up the ability to walk unaided for a missing thumb.
But then, I've seen just about everything lately, so...
I know a guy who put his head where his ass is, and became President.
Regeneration? That axolotl one's immune system...
I've regrown my brain, twice.
And some cannot look away.
Or vice versa.
I live in a world full of geckos, who constantly lose tails to each other, my cats, doors, whatever.
Since a lot of them prefer to stay in their own little patch of turf, it is fascinating to see the tails grow back. They start out very stubby, but extend out and eventually achieve the same shape as the original. Only the coloring often does not match. Maybe they lost the color chip?
that happens a lot

Dogs are wonderful companions for active individuals, because they need lots of exercise and attention throughout their lives. And while sometimes you may find yourself grumbling when you have to put on the raincoat or parka to take your canine out for her stroll, you may want to keep in mind that walking your dog isn't only good for her health, it can be good for yours as well.
Most dogs need to be walked three or four times a day, and once you get your canine into the habit, she'll probably remind you if she hasn't been out for a while. That wagging tail and expectant look could be just the motivation you need to get yourself up off the couch and out for some fresh air. Not to mention, regular walks and exercise are one of the best forms of treatment of dog obesity.
If you plan on walking your dog for weight loss purposes, you'll need to keep a few tips in mind, according to VCA Animal Hospitals. First, you'll need the right equipment. Short leashes are preferable over long or retractable leashes, as they will allow you to set a pace that will help your dog burn calories. You'll also want to opt for a head halter rather than a collar, as these can cause pain in dogs if they pull too hard. One essential item for every exercise walk is a bottle of water. There's a reason gyms have water fountains and bottles for sale - people need to hydrate when they exercise. The same can be said for your dog, especially in hot weather.
When setting out with your dog, keep in mind that she likely won't choose a walking pace that will help her lose weight. That's why you need to take control and help your dog move at a pace that will benefit her health. According to VCA, your objective should be to walk briskly from the beginning of the walk until you're back home. Keep the leash close to your body, within two to four feet, and move at a pace that you think you can keep up throughout the walk. Aim for between 12 to 15 minutes per mile. If you break into a light sweat, you're doing it right, and you can be proud that you're burning some calories yourself.
Of course, your first few times out, your dog will likely want to stop and sniff, but allowing too many breaks will slow down your pace and burn fewer calories for both you and your canine. VCA advises owners not to look down at their dog when they want to stop and sniff, but rather to tighten the leash, without jerking the animal, and urge them on by saying words like "come," "here," or whatever works best for your dog. Fortunately, most dogs will adjust to this type of exercise fairly quickly, and in no time both you and she might start to look slimmer and feel better!

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Welfare's runaway train
This article will continue to be on the outrageous spending of the welfare program and how out of control this free program is. I will outline the reasons there are 12.8 million people in this country on this free program paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
About 4.1 percent of those living in this country are on welfare. The total annual spending for this program is $131.9 billion.
In the last five years, trillions of dollars were spent just on welfare. That means it jumped up 32 percent during this administration. There are eight states that pay more for welfare than a U.S. teacher receives. New York state has more people on welfare than working people. A welfare person averages $38,000 a year.
New York state is the seventh-highest in the nation for welfare. One-third of the population of New York City is on welfare. With all this money spent on the welfare program, no one in Washington seems to care enough to do anything about it.
Instead, they cut the workers' Medicare program which they are entitled to. They cut our military. They cut all the important programs, but don't touch welfare, which is cutting into our way of life. So you work your whole life to retire and enjoy life, but instead have to work two jobs for health benefits and taxes and watch while others who don't work, and some who have no intention to work, get all the free entitlements that you are paying for.
But you will not see any of those benefits because you work for a living. So retire from work, get another job just to pay for your health insurance and maybe you will survive this rat race in this mess called free everything for those who don't care.
God help us all. Just don't go shopping the first of the month because you might lose your cool watching your tax money being spent by a generation of freeloaders. More to come because this will never end in your lifetime or mine. Too bad.
Richard Makuch is a Dunkirk resident.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (111 votes).
In short: A lovely course, encouraging marshalls and friendly competitors. In full: We really enjoyed the race. It was my husband's first 10k and it was a great event to start out at. Everyone was very friendly and encouraging and he did not mind finishing 2nd to last!! See you in November!!Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: My first 10k in 3 years and a PB great.In full: Distance markers every 1km really helped me keep my pace, not too many people so not falling over other runners all the time, marshalls excellent giving motivation to all runners and keeping every-one on track.Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: little sense of funDate of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Disappointing atmosphere - club runners rude to beginners.In full: Quite a few of the club runners were rude to us beginners! "Get out of the way!" was shouted frequently, even though I could only have moved over to be in the middle of a massive muddy puddle in order to get out of their way. If they're so concerned with PB's, they shouldn't have said that us 50 or so charity runners could take part on the same day as the club runners.The race itself was ok, although some parts of the course were too narrow to allow people to run good times.Disappointing atmosphere, all in all.Date of review: March 7, 2007
In short: The tracks in regents park are a little narrow so it is difficult to pass without ending up covered in mudDate of review: March 4, 2007
In short: Great introduction to 10k distance, Shame it was 3 laps of same circuit.Date of review: February 5, 2007
In short: Nice Location and encouraging marshalls....In full: Have completed this run on several occasions and every time the marshalls excel themselves, always encouraging and geeing you on. Is a good race for anyone wanting to do a 'proper' race but not one that will kill them, as three fairly flat laps around Regent Park are all that are required. Lots of beginners and good changing facilities.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: 3 lap flat course. Race filled with mixed abilities. Thoroughly enjoyed it.In full: Organisation and facilities were great. The Hub changing facilities were more than adequate. Also water provided at end of each lap and bananas available at the end. Was my first lap based 10km which actually made it go a lot quicker than expected. Also allowed me to pace myself and finish more strongly, knowing the course. Managed a PB which was nice.Date of review: February 4, 2007
In short: Really friendly marshals/orgainsers and fellow runners. Mixed ability was nice. Facilities at The Hub are great.In full: Although I was a bit concerned about it being organised by a running club, and therefor possibly a bit intimidating for a bit of a plodder, but I was very pleasantly surprised to find the staff, marshals and the other runners very friendly and encouraging. Really enjoyed this run, and pulled a PB out of the hat! Date of review: January 11, 2007
In short: Super race, great marshallingIn full: Organisation very slick - nothing fancy, just 3 laps of a set route. Facilities at the Hub (race HQ) are super. Also good that it's monthly so you can check your improvement over a series of months. Convenient and efficient race.Date of review: January 8, 2007

Skip to comments.Few transportation fuels surpass the energy densities of gasoline and diesel
Posted on 02/14/2013 2:31:01 PM PST by thackney
Energy density and the cost, weight, and size of onboard energy storage are important characteristics of fuels for transportation. Fuels that require large, heavy, or expensive storage can reduce the space available to convey people and freight, weigh down a vehicle (making it operate less efficiently), or make it too costly to operate, even after taking account of cheaper fuels. Compared to gasoline and diesel, other options may have more energy per unit weight, but none have more energy per unit volume.
On an equivalent energy basis, motor gasoline (which contains up to 10% ethanol) was estimated to account for 99% of light-duty vehicle fuel consumption in 2012. Over half of the remaining 1% was from diesel; all other fuels combined for less than half of 1%. The widespread use of these fuels is largely explained by their energy density and ease of onboard storage, as no other fuels provide more energy within a given unit of volume.
The chart above compares energy densities (both per unit volume and per unit weight) for several transportation fuels that are available throughout the United States. The data points represent the energy content per unit volume or weight of the fuels themselves, not including the storage tanks or other equipment that the fuels require. For instance, compressed fuels require heavy storage tanks, while cooled fuels require equipment to maintain low temperatures.
Beyond gasoline and diesel, other fuels like compressed propane, ethanol, and methanol offer energy densities per unit volume that are less than gasoline and diesel, and energy densities per unit weight that are less than or equal to that of gasoline. Natural gas, either in liquefied form (LNG) or compressed (CNG), are lighter than gasoline but again have lower densities per unit volume. The same is true for hydrogen fuels, which must be either cooled (down to -253oC) or compressed (to 3,000 to 10,000 psi).
However, considering only energy density leaves out the relative fuel economies associated with vehicles capable of using other fuels. The typical fuel economy of an internal combustion engine in a light-duty vehicle is around 25 miles per gallon. On an equivalent basis, electric vehicles with fuel cells powered by hydrogen can double the fuel economy of a similarly sized gasoline vehicle, while battery-powered electric vehicles can achieve a quadrupling of fuel economy, but the costs of fuel cells, hydrogen storage, and batteries are prohibitively expensive to most consumers and the availability of refueling and charging facilities is extremely limited. In addition, the improvement in fuel economy of these vehicles does not compensate for the lower fuel densities of hydrogen and various battery types like lithium ion, lithium polymer, and nickel-metal hydride batteries that result in limited driving range relative to gasoline-powered vehicles.
Since Diesel is more dense, holds more energy than gasoline in weight, and requires less refining, then why does it cost 10%-15 % more at the pump ?
Is it strictly the amount of Road Taxes ?
"Is it strictly the amount of Road Taxes ?"
No, it was getting the particulates out of the fuel (low sulfur), as in "clean diesel". They have done that, but it's adding at least 50 cents per gallon to the cost.
That three little diamonds, just above the 0.00, represent different types of batteries. The one on the right is probably Lithium Ion. So you get an idea of what you're dealing with. That's why running the heater on an electric car is a battery-killer, while running the heater on a gas car is free heat (that would have been rejected by the engine or radiator anyway).
Is it strictly the amount of Road Taxes ?
I noticed a "bump" in Diesel prices when refiners introduced the "low sulfur" product. I would imagine that there may be low sulfur (sweet) crude but just like low sulfur coal there isn't enough to satisfy demand. That would lead to additional processing at the refinery to reduce/remove sulfur from the product. Refining crude oil often involves catalytic processing with precious metals like platinum.
Prior to the low sulfur product, Diesel was close to a dollar less than gasoline. Of course both were subject to road taxes. At that time I was heating my house with "heating oil" which was #2 Diesel dyed red to indicate "for off-road use only". My last oil fill was $680 for 168 gallons with out the road tax. That's $4.05 a gallon when gasoline was in the $3 range w/ tax included. I called the jobber and asked "why so high" and he said "special handling". I switched over to natural gas heat, the savings paid for the new boiler in three years.
Take your pick, it could be caused by legitimate processing costs or rapacious greed. Maybe a little of each...
So ethanol is heavier than gasoline, and is more dense according to the graph.
But also ethanol has fewer Btu's for energy.
So , our $4.00 per gallon ethanol gas would cost us approximately $4.35 as a pure gas ?
The $4.00 per gallon ethanol gas doesn't include government subsidy to the ethanol industry .
Personaly, I would rather have corn for feed and nutrition of humans and domestic annimals during a drought,
rather than the intransigent EPA trying to get 15% ethanol gas usage during a drought.
That's it, Im getting me a coal powered car!
"So , our $4.00 per gallon ethanol gas would cost us approximately $4.35 as a pure gas ?"
Actually, no. Look again...more like $6.00. There simply is not as much energy in ethanol (that's why drunks pass out). You are right, there is NO REASON to keep trying to use ethanol for fuel. With fracking, we have what we need and will have more and more of it. Use the corn to feed the animals...rather than having to kill them early (i.e., I like cows).
The simple refining ended with the EPA ultra low sulfur diesel requirements. Even the most sweet crude requires hydro treater and the like. Simple cut of the topping plant cannot be sold in the US.
So my visions of a coal powered mobile electric car recharging tow vehicle may actually be more efficient than a diesel version?
Also I forgot to include you get more BTUs, more energy per gallon with diesel so it helps justify the price. You can travel the same miles for less gallons with diesel over gasoline.
The ethanol subsidy ended a little over a year ago. The mandate to use remains.
Why shouldn't you pay more for more btus?
Forger the electricity, use your coal to generate steam!
Of course, steam for the turbine generator so we can charge the helpless, stranded electric cars and their owners as we tow them on to their destination. This thing would look like part locomotive part motor home and part car carrier. With free WiFi even.
My buddy's daughter put down 5 grand on a Tesla SUV that won't even be manufactured until 2014. That boy Elon Musk(rat) is one hell of a salesman.
Oh I almost forgot, my son recommended a steam whistle and a cow catcher.
Egads, I wonder if she is interested in some investment property in the everglades.
Diesel used to always be cheaper than gasoline, it wasn't until the mandatory ultra-low sulfur regulations that it became more expensive. I, personally, believe that the reason the price has not gone down (as their filtering has been paid for) is because it's now "normalized" as more expensive [in minds] than gasoline...
That said, if they were to increase the price of diesel-fuel by a dollar, I'm fairly sure our domestic shipping industry would collapse. -- and just imagine the ways they could "never let a crisis go to waste" if that were to happen.
The Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel requires a heck of a lot more than a filter. Just like reformers are run for every gallon of modern gasoline, you won't get ULSD without running product through hydrotreaters and similar process equipment.
Ah, I see.
I still think that ULSD is a bad idea.

Giving Back
BJT readers–who represent one of the highest-net-worth magazine audiences anywhere–clearly have the means to contribute to a better world. But what's the best way to do that? It's not always easy to determine which charities are most reputable and efficient and which will make the best use of your donations. As such, we've decided to spotlight one deserving organization per issue. All of the ones we'll feature have received a four-star overall rating from Charity Navigator (charitynavigator.org), which evaluates philanthropic institutions based on their finances, accountability and transparency.
The Children's Aid Society (www.childrensaidsociety.org) has been helping families cope with poverty in New York City neighborhoods since 1853. Children's Aid caring begins even before birth, through prenatal counseling and assistance, and continues through the high school years with college-prep and job-training programs.
The charity addresses all aspects of a child's development, from health care and academics to sports and the arts. And because stable children live in stable families, the organization offers housing assistance and domestic-violence counseling. The first free school-lunch program, the first industrial school for poor children, the first daycare program for working mothers and the first visiting nurse service were all Children's Aid initiatives.

Broadway actor presents one-man play at The Grand
NEW ULM – A Broadway actor who has performed across the country will present a one-man play at 7 p.m., Sunday, June 16 at The Grand Center for Arts & Culture, 210 N Minnesota.
Michael Milligan will present "Mercy Killers," a production about a man who provides for his family until his wife is diagnosed with cancer and dropped from the family health insurance policy.
Milligan's story is based on his own experiences of life without health insurance and the experiences of his friends.
He talks about medical debt as the major cause of bankruptcies, including insured people who are dropped by insurance companies or didn't have coverage in the first place.
Milligan blames health insurance company policies as a bigger issue than the uninsured.
He tells the story of a woman who worked for a health insurance firm that told her to reject applicants from the poorest parts of New York City because they wouldn't be able to appeal rejected claims.
Milligan called health care a looming problem that forces too many people to become their own doctors – if they can find a computer to help them deal with their ailments – which he did himself when he had kidney stones.
Laurel Gamm, M.D., of New Ulm Medical Center, said she's looking forward to Milligan's show.
"I've heard him. He's good," she said.
A graduate of the Juilliard School, Milligan has has been writing and acting for the theater for nearly 20 years. He has appeared on and off Broadway and with the Royal Skakespeare Company, the Cincinnati Playhouse, the St. Louis Rep and many national and international theatare groups in a wide variety of roles.
The production at The Grand is sponsored by Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP-MN, a non-profit, research and educational association of more than 18,000 physicians, medical students and health professionals who support single-payer, national health insurance; the American Medical Student Association, and Health Care for All Minnesota (HCAMn), a non-profit organization dedicated to establishing single-payer health insurance for all by advocacy, education, lobbying and community organizing.
The performance will be followed by a question and answer panel discussion with the audience. The panel will include Milligan and District 26A Democratic State Representative Tina Liebling of Rochester.

About the Author: Eric Schwartz is Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration.
As 2010 comes to a close, I'd like to share with you some of the results of a busy year here at the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). We worked hard to advance key goals of our mission: to protect the world's most vulnerable populations, including women and children at risk, and survivors of conflict and persecution. And we've sought to transform our way of communicating with partners outside of government, through a more regular exchange of information on our activities with key constituencies and the general public. We've engaged directly with our partners on country-specific humanitarian challenges, as well as on issues such as building capacity in fragile and failed states, and protection of LGBT asylum seekers and refugees.
Our nearly $2 billion in humanitarian assistance helped tens of millions of people in every corner of the world, and we pressed protection objectives with senior officials in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Near East and in our own hemisphere.
Africa: The Bureau focused its efforts on protecting civilians in conflict, and my trips over the past 14 months to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Kenya, Chad and Sudan reflected our area priorities. We funded civilian protection teams associated with the peacekeeping mission in the DRC, as well as additional civilian protection efforts by UNHCR. We support over 30 maisons d`ecoute, where rape victims receive counseling and referrals for medical care. In Chad, we provided some $50 million in aid for about 270,000 Darfuri refugees in the east and have supported international efforts to strengthen protection around the camps. In Sudan, we assisted returnees from the south, supported Eritrean refugees in eastern Sudan, aided Congolese fleeing the Lord's Resistance Army, and supported protection and assistance for Darfuris.
Asia: The Bureau focused largely on continued support for refugees in protracted situations. In Pakistan and Thailand, I visited with displaced persons and refugees and urged senior officials to sustain policies of tolerance and refuge. PRM supported programs focused on women, such as training of community health workers in Pakistan to perform regular prenatal check-ups for pregnant women and to implement safe delivery techniques.
Europe: We provided aid through UNHCR for the displaced in Georgia, and have effectively promoted Balkan negotiations on refugee return.
Near East: Our protection and assistance priorities in the region include internally displaced Iraqis and Iraqi refugees in neighboring countries, as well as Palestinian refugees throughout the region. As part of the Iraqi government's stabilization effort, PRM contributed to the Diyala initiative, a multi-platform effort to support the return of internally displaced Iraqis and refugees to an area that was severely devastated by terrorism and sectarian violence. Elsewhere, U.S. contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) helped to promote stability by providing education, health care, and other services to over 4.7 million Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.
Western Hemisphere: PRM funded assisted voluntary returns of Haitians who fled to the Dominican Republic after the January earthquake, and, in Colombia, we supported health services to conflict victims in isolated communities.
Beyond these regional efforts, we also sought to make improvements in our refugee admissions program -- in particular, by doubling the amount of initial support PRM provides to refugees arriving in the United States. The goal was simple: to ensure refugees have adequate aid: a roof over their heads, and adequate access to critical assistance during their first weeks in U.S. communities.
Finally, we sought to strengthen -- and bring greater focus to -- our efforts in support of international migration policies that respect the rights of migrants while promoting border security. At the Global Forum for Migration and Development in Mexico, we took the lead in advancing common and humane principles and practices in this critical area.
Humanitarian assistance needs are growing as the number of refugees, stateless persons, internally displaced persons and vulnerable migrants increase. The coming year will be another busy one in our Bureau. Very shortly we'll announce this year's funding pledge to UNHCR. I look forward to commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the 50th anniversary of the statelessness convention, and to continuing our leadership role as the chair for the Intergovernmental Consultations on Migration, Asylum and Refugees.
We also continue our commitment to transparency -- you can find news and my letters to the community here. We look forward to continuing our work with counterparts in the humanitarian community in the weeks and months to come.

|Nevada Government & Politics
|Territory & Statehood
A: On November 12, 1851, a public meeting was held at the Mormon Station in Genoa to establish laws and a governing body for western Nevada. The group agreed to elect a governing council with seven members and establish a system for making land claims. A second meeting was held on November 19, which declared timber lands common property, and a third was held on November 20, during which those present elected a justice of the peace, clerk, and sheriff. The government, which was never recognized by the U.S. government, ceased to exist in 1855, with the arrival of officials from the Utah Territory.
Q: Who was the first woman elected mayor of Las Vegas?
A: In 1990, Jan Laverty Jones was elected the first female mayor of the state's largest city.
Q: What was the Sagebrush Rebellion?
A: The Sagebrush Rebellion
was a movement, started in 1979, to reclaim federal land in the western
U.S. The grass-roots effort was sparked when Congress passed the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act in 1976, which changed the status
of public lands from land held in trust by the federal government pending
disposal, to land permanently controlled by the U.S. Department of Interior.
In 1979, the Nevada legislature approved a bill declaring all the public
lands in Nevada were property of the state. Not surprisingly, the
claim was rejected by the federal government.

Lee finds solace at school after whirlwind qualifying tour
By Chrös McDougall
Eva Lee was one of the few 22-year-olds who just couldn't wait to go back to school last fall.
The American badminton player had to take a year and a half break from school to travel the world in a grueling qualifying effort for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. After competing in Beijing, Lee could not have been happier to restart her studies last fall at the University of California-Irvine.
"Basically we were eating, sleeping and dreaming badminton," Lee said. "...We couldn't really relax because it was just really hard to make the ranking points and everything."
In badminton, the athletes have to play in tournament after tournament in order to boost their world rankings, which ultimately are what qualifies them for the Olympics. Lee qualified and competed in the singles and doubles divisions in Beijing before finally getting to take a break from badminton.
"Traveling is just really tiring to begin with," Lee said. "...Sometimes there are two tournaments at the same time and you have to decide which one is more beneficial, and you have to stay ahead of certain people. That was just really stressful for us."
During the qualifying period the Orange, Calif., native jetted around the world, spending one week in Europe and the next in Asia. Most of the tournaments are on those continents, but Lee also competed in New Zealand and at the Pan American Games in Brazil.
"It was like I could count the number of days I was home but not the number that I was on a plane or in Asia or something," a relaxed Lee said during the early part of her second semester back at school.
Lucky for Lee, she loves the game and even plays as a hobby when not competing.
"I just have fun out there when I play," she said.
Lee moved to California from Hong Kong when she was approximately 6 years old. She started playing badminton five years later when she was at the gym with her parents and just started hitting with the other kids.
After high school Lee attended the University of California-San Diego, where she temporarily gave up badminton to focus on school.
But that didn't last long. "My mom told me, 'School?you can always go back to it. But badminton?once you pass a certain age, you won't be able to compete anymore,'" Lee said.
In 2007 Lee won the Triple Crown-singles, doubles and mixed doubles-at the Pan Am Games, and a year after that she was competing at the Beijing Olympics. Lee now has hopes to be the first American to win an Olympic medal in the sport, which she could do at the 2012 London Olympics.
"If I have the chance to go to 2012, that would be the goal," Lee said.
In the meantime, Lee is enjoying a more relaxed schedule and focusing on her education. She hopes to graduate in 2010 with a degree in biology and then possibly go back to school to become a pediatrician.
"A lot of people told me that it was going to be horrible and that I would not be able to adjust to reading and doing school again," Lee said. "But I was doing badminton for so long that going back to school was a really good change of pace for me. I felt kind of normal."
Lee lives a relatively quiet life in Southern California. Aside from being listed on UC-Irvine's athletics Web site, the Olympic badminton player remains mostly unrecognized walking around campus?and that's how she likes it.
"I don't play to be in the spotlight so for me it doesn't really matter," Lee said.
Now that Lee is back home and back in school, she is finding some more time to relax, hang out with friends and focus on her studies. Still, when she has the time and energy, she is back playing badminton.
Lee teaches juniors and trains at the Orange County Badminton Club, where most of the top athletes in the U.S. train, including all five 2008 U.S. Olympians. At the beginning of January, she competed in the team trials for the Sudirman Cup, where she won the mixed doubles competition and placed second in women's doubles.
The next competition Lee takes part in likely will be the U.S. National Championships in the spring.
In the life of an elite badminton player, the game never really stops. You have to build up your ranking by playing in smaller tournaments, which qualifies you to play in bigger tournaments, which eventually, if you're good enough, qualifies you for the Olympics.
After one qualifying campaign, Lee knows how hard it is going to be. During the most intense year of qualifying, she went from tournament to tournament around the world, playing in more than 100 games.
"Every qualifying period is just as stressful," Lee said. "There are so many things you have to do."
But in the end, playing in front of the world at the Olympics is what it's all about.
"Being there makes you feel like all the work you've done to get there is worth it," Lee said. "You're on...center stage, and everyone is watching you and it makes you want to try hard and really do the best that you can."

Harmonization Of Sales Tax
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Robert Bertrand Pontiac—Gatineau—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday's important announcement made by the Minister of Finance regarding the harmonization of the GST was well received in Quebec.
The Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance of the PQ government said: "This is very good. It sets a VAT all around us. Ours has the advantage of being the lowest one, thus putting us in a competitive position. This is good for trade and it harmonizes the economic space".
With this reaction, the PQ government proved wrong the gloomsters who keep saying that no agreement is possible between the governments of Quebec and Canada. Now that these people have been proven wrong, let us hope that the Bloc Quebecois will take note and will stop obstructing any attempt to bring the two governments closer to each other.
Armenian Genocide
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Sarkis Assadourian Don Valley North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to commemorate the 81st anniversary of the Armenian genocide of 1915.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of Parliament who participated in yesterday's debate in the House and to congratulate them on passing the historic motion which reads:
That this House recognize on the occasion of the 81st anniversary of the Armenian tragedy which claimed some 1.5 million lives that took place on April 24, 1915, and in recognition of other crimes against humanity, the week of April 20 to 27 of each year as the week of remembrance of the inhumanity of people towards one another.
Canadians thank their MPs for this motion. It is a giant step forward toward recognition that the use of genocide and violence as instruments of national policy by any nation or any group at any time is a crime against humanity and must be condemned.
Government Grants
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Randy White Fraser Valley West, BC
Mr. Speaker, this is an interview for a grant, I mean a loan. No, I mean a contribution or whatever it is called.
Knock, knock. Come on in. Yes I'd like some money. Well first you have to qualify. What do I have to do? Do you know a Liberal? Yes. Have you paid your share to a Liberal's campaign? Yes.
Do you live in the region? No, do I have to? Has your business been successful? No. Will you employ more people? Not necessarily. Will you pay the money back? No. It's a grant isn't it? Are there similar businesses in your area? Yes, but they won't get a regional development grant. Well sir, it looks as though you qualify. As soon as we borrow the money from Japan, Germany or the U.S.A., we'll write you a cheque. And don't worry about any pay back-our children will look after it.
Tribute To General Jean Victor Allard
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jean H. Leroux Shefford, QC
Mr. Speaker, I want to pay special tribute to the first francophone to be promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general in the Canadian Armed Forces, Jean Victor Allard.
Mr. Allard had a brilliant career. In 1964, he was promoted to the highest rank in the Canadian military forces. It was the first time that a French speaking person was appointed to that strategic position.
In 1965, he was appointed commander of the new mobile force, in Saint-Hubert. In 1966, he was promoted to the rank of general and appointed chief of the defence staff. It is under his supervision that the Canadian forces were integrated. In the late sixties, Jean Victor Allard left the military and proudly represented the Government of Quebec in New York City.
On behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Mr. Allard, and I salute the great soldier that he was.
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
April 24th, 1996 / 2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the government was elected on the strength of a solemn commitment to abolish the GST. The Prime Minister said during the electoral campaign, "We are going to scrap the GST". The Deputy Prime Minister said, "If the GST is not abolished, I will resign". On May 2, 1994, the Prime Minister again said, "We hate this tax and we will get rid of it".
The Liberals made a number of solemn promises to eliminate the GST. Yesterday, however, not only did the Minister of Finance announce that the GST was being kept, he went on to say that we were going to pay $1 billion to extend it to the Maritimes.
How does the Prime Minister justify such a spectacular about-face?
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, first, we can see what is going on in the Government of Quebec, where the mother house is making major changes to the Parti Quebecois program as it stood at election time. I just make this comment in passing.
I would simply like to read what is in the red book, the document our election campaign was based on. Here is what appears on page 22 of the English and on page 20 of the French:
A Liberal government will replace the GST with a system that generates the equivalent revenues, is fairer to consumers and to small business, minimizes disruption to small business, and promotes federal provincial fiscal co-operation and harmonization.
This is exactly what we have begun to do. We have succeeded in doing it with three Atlantic provinces and are negotiating with the others. Quebec was even ahead of the others. It understood the advantage of harmonization. We will finish the job with Quebec and we hope the other provinces will understand that a unified sales tax system in Canada is much simpler for everyone and much more effective.
We made it clear in the red book that we could not abolish a tax without equivalent revenues, because the priority of all governments at the moment, in Ottawa, Quebec City, Toronto or elsewhere, is to eliminate deficits, which have been a source of economic problems throughout Canada, in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritimes.
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister of Canada is becoming a specialist in post-election program changes. The changes should have been made before.
As the Minister of Finance acknowledged yesterday, it was a mistake to promise to eliminate the GST and not do so. Is the government not making a second and very serious political mistake by developing another harmonization model, different from the one already in place with Quebec, which had the advantage of not costing Canadian taxpayers a thing.
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, now the Bloc Quebecois is asking us to be inflexible, to give the exact same thing to everyone. Because it is complex, we are looking with the provinces for a solution that is acceptable and fair to everyone.
I hear the leader of the Bloc Quebecois saying we are changing our program; we are not changing our program. I just read our program. But we will see on Monday whether the leader of the Parti Quebecois in Quebec City has changed the Parti's program on Bill 101.
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, is the Prime Minister in such a tight spot in this House that he has to try to draw attention away from commitments he made and did not keep? It was right there on the TV screen yesterday: the Prime Minister in shirt sleeves before Liberal supporters making commitments to scrap the GST. What about the Deputy Prime
Minister who was going to resign if the GST were not eliminated. Where is she now?
How can the Prime Minister explain to Quebecers that, really, they have not been taken in again by the federal government, when, despite their good faith and their being the first to harmonize their sales tax with the federal tax, they did not get the compensation the Maritimers got.
Goods And Services Tax
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I will not read what I read earlier again; it is in the red book. It was very clear, and we are keeping the promise we made in the red book.
The Bloc Quebecois told Quebecers to vote for the real power. They are in opposition and they will be there for a long time to come. Their cousins in Quebec City are today changing, for political gain, the political program Mr. Parizeau used to get himself elected.
They are the last people to talk to me about not keeping my word. I have it in writing, and I-

Somalia Inquiry
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Jean-Marc Jacob Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, documents submitted this morning to the commission of inquiry indicate that the chief of defence staff, Jean Boyle, had indeed received a memo addressed directly to him suggesting that the information to be handed over on Somalia be modified, contrary to what he told the military police last December, when the current minister was in office.
Since this memo was directly addressed to Mr. Boyle, how can the minister justify that it was not handed over to the commission of inquiry at the very beginning and that, in order to obtain it, it was necessary to mobilize the entire army in an unprecedented search? How does the minister explain that?
Somalia Inquiry
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Don Valley East
David Collenette Minister of National Defence and Minister of Veterans Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I would first like to say that I share the sentiments expressed by the hon. member for Shefford on the death of former General Jean Victor Allard. He was a man of great distinction who served Canada well. He was the first French-Canadian chief of defence in our history. He was a great man.
Concerning the question of the hon. member for Charlesbourg, he knows I have been giving the same answer to that question for two weeks. I have answered the question for two weeks because that is what Canadians expect to hear.
They expect to hear that the commission that was established by this government, an impartial setting, will look at all of the allegations which have come forward.
The hon. member should have paid attention to the comments made by the counsel for the commission this morning who at the hearings warned Canadians not to be misled by partial evidence, not to jump to conclusions, but to allow the commission to come to its deliberations and answers in the fullness of time.
Somalia Inquiry
Oral Question Period
2:25 p.m.
Jean-Marc Jacob Charlesbourg, QC
Mr. Speaker, on a number of occasions the minister has replied that we must wait, but now we have the proof that the chief of defence staff did not carry out his duties.
With this new cover-up, which severely undermines the chief of defence staff's credibility and by extension that of the entire armed forces, what more is the minister waiting for to suspend him temporarily from his duties, so that we can get to the bottom of this business once and for all?

Editor for this issue: Marie Klopfenstein <marielinguistlist.org>
Southwest Journal of Linguistics: SWJL Editor position announcement Applications and nominations for the position of Editor of the Southwest Journal of Linguistics (SWJL) are invited. The current Editor, Jon Jonz, has announced his retirement effective the end of 2004.

SAT or ACT scores will be optional for DePaul University applicants starting next year, but those who choose not to submit scores will be asked to write short essays demonstrating "noncognitive" traits such as leadership, commitment to service and ability to meet long-term goals. From the Chronicle of Higher Education:
"Admissions officers have often said that you can't measure heart," said Jon Boeckenstedt, associate vice president for enrollment management. "This, in some sense, is an attempt to measure that heart."
DePaul hopes to encourage more applications from low-income and minority students with relatively high grades and low test scores. "Heart" is a better predictor of success than SAT or ACT scores for low-income and minority students, admissions officials say.
In 2008 the university added four short essay questions to its freshman application with hopes of assessing noncognitive traits said to lead to college success.
One question prompted applicants to describe a goal they had set for themselves and how they planned to accomplish it: "How would you compare your educational interests and goals with other students in your high school?" Another question said: "Describe a personal challenge you have faced, or a situation in which you or others were treated unfairly. How did you react to the situation and what conclusions did you draw from the experience? Were you able to turn to others for support?"
DePaul dropped those questions when it started using the Common Application, which requires a personal essay of at least 250 words. It was too much writing. The questions will return for students who don't submit test scores.
