Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Chinese State Councilor Liu Yandong at the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE) with Chinese State Councilor Liu Yandong on April 12, 2011. Secretary Clinton and Chinese State Councilor celebrated the achievements of U.S.-China People-to-People engagement over the past year. The Secretary said working for greater understanding and cooperating is in the best interest of our nations and our people.
Secretary Clinton said, "...We are very grateful that we now have this opportunity to enhance mutual understanding between the American and Chinese people by increasing direct ties between our people not in a time of war, but in a time of peace and hope. Last year's inaugural meeting of the U.S.-China Consultation on People-to-People Exchange was a very good start. And today, we have heard excellent reports from Minister Hao and Secretary McHale.
"We also have with us today a wonderful group of Americans and Chinese from the areas of culture, education, science and technology, sports, and women's issues. I don't know whether you and I will play ping-pong in public. That may be a bridge too far. But I do know that we will continue to support this important process. It is already achieving results. First, I am delighted by today's announcement that we will broaden one of our most successful exchange programs -- the U.S.-China Fulbright Program. The Fulbright Program has already brought more than 3,000 American and Chinese graduate students and scholars to study, teach, and research in one another's countries. And we will now enhance these exchanges to include master's degree students and community college faculties.
"More Americans are now studying in China than in any other foreign country. Our goal is to send 100,000 students to China over the next four years. And I am pleased to announce that the American private sector is showing increased support for the 100,000 Strong Initiative with new commitments from Goldman Sachs, Amway Corporation, and laureate international universities. And thank you so much, State Councilor, for your announcement of an additional 10,000 scholarships for Americans who wish to study in China. This is in addition to the 10,000 bridge scholarships that the Chinese Government offered last year, and we are very touched by this strong signal of support.
"We also celebrate last month's announcement that New York University will open a campus in Shanghai in 2013. And we have with us today the president of NYU, President John Sexton, if you would stand. It is President Sexton's vision to expand his university internationally while maintaining its reputation for excellence and academic freedom, and we're very excited about this endeavor which means so much to both of us.
"I'm also pleased that we have a very robust set of exchanges -- universities and dance companies, environmentalists and technology experts, ping pong players, video game developers -- all of these and many more have a role to play in helping to create more understanding between our two countries. As you said, State Councilor, both President Obama and President Hu believe deeply that helping people expand their personal, commercial, professional, philanthropic exchanges really does pay enormous benefits.
"And governments need to provide an open environment that can create those kinds of candid exchanges as we just saw in the video from our respective young people. We want to see robust, open exchanges, and to lay a firm foundation for cultural and educational understanding. We think that creating the environment in which people pursue their own dreams, hopes, and aspirations will lead to not only greater understanding, but increasing cooperation and partnership between our two countries.
"Now we've seen the results of these U.S.-Chinese people-to-people exchanges in many areas. We very much appreciate the support that our Friendship Volunteers have received from the Ministry of Education and the China Education Association for International Exchanges. We will, as Under Secretary McHale said, look forward to increasing our exchanges between our young researchers and scientists. And of course, because we both believe that progress on so many global issues is linked to progress on empowering girls and women, I'm particularly pleased that the state councilor and I have agreed to launch the new U.S.-China Women's Leadership Exchange and Dialogue. We're calling it Women-LEAD. I want to thank both Ambassador Melanne Verveer and the All-China Women's Federation's Vice President Meng Xiaosi for this initiative and their willingness to lead our efforts. We think it will help bring talented women together to tackle common problems and raise the visibility and opportunities of both women and girls.
"This relationship is one that both of our presidents have made a very important part of each of our nation's foreign policy in the 21st century. It is not only, however, our two governments that will shape the relationship. Leaders are on the stage for a period of time, but the people endure. And the people's relationships is what will give China-U.S. relationships a very strong foundation going into the future.
"We will not always agree. There is no doubt of that. I know of no two people -- I don't even know within a family -- that everyone agrees. But we believe strongly that working for greater understanding, finding new ways not only of communicating, but of cooperating, is in the best interest of our nations and our people. We think the more our people learn to cooperate and collaborate, the more that China and the United States will be able to find solutions to many global challenges. We both face climate change issues, weather changes, food security, environmental problems, educational issues, healthcare challenges, and we want to work to make sure we know the best solutions that can be applied everywhere. So I thank you so much, State Councilor. You understood this from the very beginning, you have championed it within your government. I am pleased that both of us are able to continue this work together and I am excited by what lies ahead.""The future is, as you said, in these young people, and I'm very optimistic about that future. I loved going to the Shanghai Expo, which was such a great accomplishment of China, and I loved seeing young Americans speaking Chinese to many of the Chinese visitors. I was very proud of our young Americans and I was delighted by the response that they were provoking with many Chinese people I think coming because it was such a novelty to have someone speaking to them in their own language, and it was also a lot of fun because a lot of the Chinese visitors were helping to correct and teach the Chinese language students. But it was so wonderful to see that person-to-person interaction.
"Sometimes governments get all tied up in problems, and people say, "I could solve that tomorrow." I think by letting people have more of an opportunity to listen and learn with each other, we in government will learn as well. So this not only a very exciting adventure, I think it holds tremendous promise for the relationship that we value so greatly. We were delighted by President Hu's successful visit in January. We are building on that, and we continue to look for even more ways to broaden and deepen our relationship, and people to people is the key."

The British along with the international community helped build Hong Kong into a major financial hub. If not this help, I feel that Hong Kong would have lost ground in the 1990s due to lack of infrastructure. Please take a look at would the British and international community did before the British handed over Hong Kong to China. A lot of ingenuity and resources went into making Hong Kong what it is today. On another note, China's belief is based on a Confuscian ideology where they believe that communism is the best system to help their people. I feel the U.S. should start with this beleif system, and show China where the Confuscian system is the wrong belief system to hold their people under. I think this will be hard because before China became the present communist nation that it is, it was a democracy. When it was under a democracratic rule, wide spread corruption, and poor economic conditions are factors that caused the democracy to loose ground and eventually pushed the democrats to Taiwan.

Although I have a yeast allergy and I am also wheat, gluten, dairy, soya and corn intolerant, I was told this was suitable for me, so bought it. However, I forgot to say when enquiring about this product that I had candida. So used it and loved it, but it didn't love me. Rang the Company and they told me this particular coconut sugar is not suitable, if you have candida. So a bit of a waste of money for me on my economic budget, I'm afraid to report. However, I know some palm or coconut sugar, whatever you want to call it is suitable for those with Candida, but not this one.

It was the day after the death of their manager Brian Epstein. The Beatles had gathered together in Ringo Starr's London flat to discuss what to do next. Deeply shocked, they were all in a bit of a daze. They should go to India and meditate, Harrison suggested.
But McCartney had a different idea. They should do something. Show the world they were still up for it. They should make a film, the film they had discussed with Brian. They should make Magical Mystery Tour. Now. Right now.
McCartney had seen a crew film the Maharishi at the London Hilton. Work like that and the Beatles could have a film out within weeks. They had some fabulous songs already.
Epstein had died on Sunday, August 27, 1967. By Wednesday, September 6, McCartney was meeting with Bernard Knowles, a friend of a friend, and hiring him as director and cameraman. The following Monday morning he was sitting in a London Transport cafe, waiting for a 60-seater coach to show up and take him, the other Beatles and an eclectic cast of out- of-work actors on a magical mystery tour. The moment the stars were on board, filming began
Encompassed in this story is most of what you need to know about how the Beatles' most heavily criticised project came to be. Shown on the BBC on Boxing Day, 1967, some older viewers found it baffling. The colour scenes, drug-influenced and meant as a tour of the Beatles' vibrant imaginations, didn't work in black and white.
It's not hard to understand what the critics objected to, but Magical Mystery Tour - reissued this week on Blu-Ray and the subject of a superb Arena documentary to be shown on BBC television tomorrow - is a fabulous slice of Sixties history, unmissable for anyone who wants to understand the Beatles. The music, which takes up nearly half of the hour-long Tour - to be broadcast after Arena - is also among their best.
Without Epstein, and having plunged into it so quickly, the making of Magical Mystery Tour was predictably chaotic. The idea was to film a bus tour similar to the ones the band remembered from their youth - you bought a ticket, got on and you didn't know where you were going. The trip usually finished up at Blackpool with beer and a singsong.
So the coach would wend its way through the countryside and they would film what came up. But this was the Beatles. They might wish to just drive off in a coach, but they couldn't. The bus caused traffic jams and got stuck on a narrow bridge. The press followed in cars and fans stole the posters from the sides, at any rate the ones John Lennon hadn't ripped off in fury when the bus was immobilised yet again.
And when they reached the hotels? Without Brian to book rooms, McCartney's biographer Howard Sounes records that the Beatle found himself arranging accommodation and allocating them among squabbling film extras. Neil Innes of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, who appear in the film playing music for a stripper, recalls that through all this "Paul was very good. Calm and unflustered. And the others were happy to let him get on with it."
There was no script. On the Arena documentary Ringo Starr holds up a piece of paper with a circle drawn on it. This was their plan, he said. By the time they got going they had filled in the circle with segments, each denoting a scene. As to how they fitted together, nobody was quite sure.
Some Beatles historians link the haphazard physical arrangements with this lack of a proper script to make the whole thing a story of confusion and lost direction. But this is a misunderstanding. The lack of a script was quite deliberate. While the other Beatles had retreated to palatial family homes in and around Weybridge in Surrey, McCartney had stayed in London, soaking up the art scene. He'd been making his own short movies, inspired by arthouse experimentation. He was after spontaneity, and a home movie effect. McCartney, not Lennon, was the avant garde Beatle.
The Magical Mystery Tour is his work in two other ways. The first is that it is never pretentious or cynical. One of McCartney's most important doctrines, if that isn't too grandiose a term, is that cynicism isn't cool. This distinguishes him as a pop artist and is simultaneously the key to his genius and the most strongly criticised aspect of his work.
The second point is an allied one. Everything the Beatles did is now so freighted with meaning that when McCartney calls them a decent little rock band it sounds coy. But he means it. Yes, Magical Mystery Tour came after Sgt. Pepper, just as their work was being reassessed as art. But it was also a Christmas show, as the Beatles had always done. A few songs for the fans, a joke or two, lots of larking about. And the band enjoying themselves (Innes recalls that while the crew filmed the stripping Lennon and Harrison filmed it for themselves. They called it the Weybridge cut).
What emerged was messy but fun. While it would be a mistake to overanalyse it, I think it is quite an important part of their catalogue. It is a deeply English film, a film about vicars and tug-of-war teams at village fetes, of seasides and fat women, fish and chips and beer on the coach.
In other words it puts on display provincialism, humour, nostalgia and music hall, the influences that mark out mid-Sixties British psychedelia from the more po-faced American music scene. Ian MacDonald, in his unmissable Beatles book Revolution in the Head, observes that 1967, Sgt. Pepper and psychedelia was not just their acid period, it was their Northern and English period. Watch Magical Mystery Tour and his point is made very clearly.
All that, and it made me laugh.Last Updated: 10/05/12 08:07

Binghamton Snaps Four-Game Losing Streak
from press release
VESTAL, N.Y.— Binghamton (3-6, 0-1 AE) ended a four-game losing skid with an 11-7 triumph over MAAC opponent Canisius Tuesday night at the Bearcats Sports Complex. SophomoreBrandon Planck netted a career-high five goals, including four consecutive second half goals to propel the Bearcats in their final non-conference contest of the season.
Ahead 5-4 to begin the third quarter, Binghamton allowed their third consecutive goal to Canisius and second man-up goal of the evening, tying the game up at five. It was Planck who broke the tie on a chest-high rocket off a feed from freshman J.T. Hauck. Then with time winding down in the quarter, Planck picked up a loose ball and worked his way in front of the net, sniping a lefty shot past Canisius freshman goalkeeper Alex Govenettio with just three seconds remaining.
In the fourth, Planck wasn't finished as he was found streaking across the front of the goal by junior Tyler Perrelle for his fourth goal on the evening, putting the home squad ahead 8-5. The sophomore attackman concluded his scoring just 40 seconds later off a touch pass from classmate Kelly Donigan. Both teams traded a pair of goals each to end the fourth and final period, leaving BU victorious after three heart-breaking one-goal losses dating back to March 17.
"We've talked a lot over the last few days about how we need to have a more complete game," first year head coach Scott Nelson said after the 11-7 victory. "We told them we need to take more responsibility of what happens early on and to the guys credit we really responded in a strong fashion."
Five other BU players recorded a goal, paced by midfielders Tyler Perrelle and Kelly Donigan's three points apiece. Perrelle scored a pair of goals and an assist, while the younger brother of senior face-off specialist Jeff Donigan added a goal and career-high two assists. But it was Planck, who's career-high five goals and six points was extremely crucial in the end.
"Brandon's the kind of kid where we've seen glimpses of great play out of him," Nelson said. "He really put a strong 60 minutes of play out there tonight. He's a tough son of a gun who really went to the goal with a purpose tonight and he was rewarded with some great finishes."
During the first half, Perrelle got the Bearcats on the board with a remarkable and memorable tally. He dodged a pair of defenders and in the process was bumped. Falling to his knees, Perrelle lined a low shot past the goalkeeper to put the home squad ahead with over 11 minutes remaining in the first quarter. Next, it was Kelly Donigan who made a series of spins and found the back of the net, increasing the lead to two.
After a pair of goals from each team finished the first at 3-1, Canisius' leading scorer Simon Giourmetakis pulled the visiting squad within one with 12:52 remaining in the half. After a Planck goal made it 4-2, sophomore Kyle Bakkerfinished up a shot that was deflected in front of the cage to tally his second goal of the season.
The Golden Griffs didn't go away though, scoring the final two goals of the half, including one of Giourmetakis' team-high four goals on the evening. The Bearcats outshot Canisius 22-11 at half and continued to keep up the pressure as they improved their home record to 3-1.
Senior Jeff Donigan won 12-of-22 face-offs and tied senior Ben Waldron for a game-high 5 ground balls in the win. Sophomore Shawn Needham caused a career-high three turnovers and senior Jordan Marra made nine saves to record his second win on the year.

All photos courtesy of the Van Abbemuseum
This summer, for the first time, an original painting by Pablo Picasso was exhibited in the West Bank city of Ramallah. What's the big deal, right? Museums and galleries loan each other works of art all the time. But in Israel and the West Bank, where politics, borders, and security concerns rule the day, organizing a public exhibition of Picasso's $7.1 million "Buste de Femme" turned out to be no easy feat. Who would insure the painting? How could its physical security be guaranteed? How would it be transported across military checkpoints?
For the last two years, Khaled Hourani has been doggedly figuring out answers to those questions together with the Van Abbemuseum in Holland. Hourani is arts director at the International Academy of Art Palestine (IAAP) in Ramallah where the "Buste de Femme" was on display. The Van Abbemuseum holds Picasso's painting in its collection. Theirs is a story of a cross-cultural team triumphing over bureaucratic hurdles.
The Van Abbemuseum sent us over one hundred pictures documenting the painting's careful voyage from Holland to Ramallah. The photographs tell their own story with the "Buste de Femme" as a silent, cipher-like protagonist. The painting is a magnet for attention and inspection and yet it also seems a little lonely and plaintive as it winds its way through customs and checkpoints into the IAAP's exhibition room.
We reached out to Hourani to learn why he wanted to exhibit a single Picasso painting in Ramallah, and how the experience of working on this project affected him personally. Here's his answers to my questions via email:
Staff at the Van Abbemuseum in Holland prepare the "Buste de Femme" for its journey to Ramallah. (photo: Perry van Duijnhoven)
Why Picasso?
There are several reasons for this choice. The students of the Art Academy were at the center of the selection process from its early stages. The students voted in full consensus for Picasso as an artist and for the chosen painting in particular.
The Academy conducted a thorough research in Palestine about "who is the most popular international artist in our region?" The answer was Picasso. I recall asking my mother about the most well-known artist or painting she favored. Her answer was Picasso as an artist, and "Mona Lisa" as her favorite painting.
I had other personal reasons for selecting Picasso. His name was carved in the memory of my childhood in the early stages of my upbringing. When I was a child and used to paint, my teachers nicknamed me "Picasso." Later in my life, when I started working, the name Picasso accompanied me. In our culture it is very popular to give a nickname to someone after a well-known figure; and, for me, Picasso became my nickname.
Palestinian guards pose in front of Picasso's "Buste de Femme" while on display in Ramallah at the International Academy of Art Palestine.
Picasso is similar to a myth, and his works are iconic in our culture. I remember we had a neighbor in Hebron called Abu-Talab. He had Picasso's features. I discovered this one day after I read an interview in the Egyptian Crescent magazine that showed Picasso's illustrated picture.
Most important is the fact that Picasso represents for us, and for the international world, the most celebrated contemporary artist. He's renowned for his works, which demonstrate messages such as freedom and resistance to oppression and wars.
Why did the students choose this painting in particular?
We had several discussions and there was another Picasso painting that the students considered. It was a portrait of a woman painted in 1912. Finally, we all selected "Buste de Femme" as it carries an important historical meaning.
Picasso painted this portrait in 1943. The discussion with the students highlighted many important aspects about this painting, including its importance for how art represents a woman in an era of war. This idea raised issues about how, in Palestinian art, the Palestinian woman symbolizes identity, land, and the homeland and vice-versa. Finally, we conceived that this painting is important as it draws upon Picasso's unique art style of cubism which adds more value to this painting as well as its beauty.
Why exhibit a single painting?
The route and the method of bringing Picasso's painting to Palestine to be displayed in front of public audience is a major part of this project. Perhaps this symbolic meaning would have been lost if the project was about bringing more than one painting.
We have perceived that the goal of this art project is living its various stages and confronting the obstacles to make the achievement of bringing one single Picasso painting to arrive safe and sound in Palestine. The goal is not merely obtaining an art project but living the art project as an art practice.
The "Buste de Femme" is ushered through the cargo area at Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands on its way to Tel Aviv and then Ramallah.
A van carries the "Buste de Femme" through a checkpoint in Kalandia en route to Ramallah.
It is true that generally people are stuck with the belief "the more, the merrier" or that "bigger and more" is celebrated and appreciated more than "smaller and less." The goal of this art project was to create from our small academy of contemporary arts a small museum that is able to celebrate and host a great artist and one of his greatest art works. We decided to celebrate with less in terms of numbers but more in terms of value, content, and meaning.
Journalists vie to view the "Buste de Femme."
Several important paintings deserve a unique solo presentation without being presented in relation to any other works. It is in this context that one major piece of Picasso's work arrived for the first time to Palestine. I believe one portrait is enough to demonstrate Picasso's style of work as a contemporary art practice.
This presentation of Picasso's painting is an outcome of an agreement between the Art Academy and Van Abbemuseum in Holland to lend Palestine this painting. Thus, here we have Picasso becoming an art practice of a grand meaning arriving from powerful Europe to Palestine, a small country living under military occupation.
(l to r) Fatima Abdul Karim and Khaled Hourani from the Academy in Ramallah pose together with Bettine Verkuijlen and Louis Baltussen from the Van Abbemuseum. They are standing in front of the box that was used to transport the "Buste de Femme" from the the Van Abbemuseum in the Holland to Ramallah.
What were some of the other paintings and artists the students considered?
We have a comprehensive academic program here in contemporary visual arts. We considered exhibiting video works or contemporary installations, which I can't recall in specific detail. There were some suggestions to exhibit a Dutch artist's work rather than a Spanish artist's work coming from Holland, such as Van Gogh or Rembrandt, but we decided finally, through voting, that Picasso was our first choice.
People wait on line to see the "Picasso in Palestine" exhibit.
What does it mean to you personally as an artist, a curator, and an individual to have "Buste De Femme" exhibited in Ramallah?
On a personal level, it has been a very tough journey and project in its different stages. It consumed quite a long time and had its effects on my family life. It took two full years of working on this project to make it happen. On another level, I am proud and delighted to exhibit the painting for the first time in Palestine. It is a big dream that came true despite of all the hardships and challenges and now the result has trumped everything.
I am very grateful that the Academy is receiving good feedback in the media and from official levels. This project surfaces many questions, such as the importance of establishing a museum in Palestine, in creating a space for art to nourish and develop — also questioning the role of the artist in this era and in a country living in political conditions like Palestine.
A traditional Palestinian wedding march is performed to mark the opening of Picasso in Palestine.
The fact that this project brought in a lot of ideas, questions, impressions, and challenges made it a learning process and a great experience for all those who participated in its different stages. The unique political conditions of Palestine made this experience more of an adventure where we really had to take risks and create a safe hosting environment for Picasso's painting. We're going to release a book and a film later to document and share this experience on a wider level.
This project brought in a lot of reasonable concerns about the possibility of actually achieving our goal, but it also brought a lot of insight and pleasure for all of us.
I have invested all my time, efforts, networks for achieving this goal, and I am glad to have this dream come true in Palestine.
The "Buste de Femme" is covered up during the exhibition's quiet hours.

Further information
The Institute of Archaeology provides a stimulating environment for postgraduate study, with over 290 registered Masters students and 120 MPhil/PhD students and extensive facilities. Its outstanding archaeological library is complemented by University College London's main library, University of London Senate House and other specialist libraries.
The Institute is exceptionally well equipped with extensive laboratory facilities, in particular the Wolfson Archaeological Science Laboratories, which were opened in 1991 and extensively refurbished in 2004. These laboratories provide excellent facilities for the examination and analysis of a wide variety of archaeological materials. They form a collection of labs that is unparalleled in science-based archaeology within the UK and Europe.
Furthermore, the Institute of Archaeology houses fine teaching and reference collections, some of which are analysed by MSc students for their dissertations. They include prehistoric ceramics and stone artefacts from many parts of the world as well as collections of Classical Greek and Roman ceramics. Collections of minerals and other materials form part of the teaching resource for the study of early technology. Western Asiatic material includes the famous Petrie collection of Palestinian artefacts excavated by Sir Flinders Petrie, and from Jericho, material excavated by the renowned Kathleen Kenyon.

The Columbus Dispatch - April 08, 2014 10:41 AM
Which cities have the cheapest car insurance rates in the state? Which cities are the most expensive?
It turns out that smaller cities throughout the state tend to have lower rates while urban areas and towns in northeast Ohio are the most expensive, according to a survey of 34 cities by consumer finance website Value Penguin.
The cheapest rates are in Brunswick in northeast Ohio with an average cost of $557 a year. The most expensive is in Youngstown at $936 followed by the Cleveland suburbs of Euclid and Lakewood and then Cleveland.
In central Ohio, Columbus and Dublin are tied for the most expensive rates at $742 per year.
Marion had the sixth lowest rate in the state followed by Lancaster at No. 12, Newark at No. 19 and Delaware at No. 21.

Topic: taking site down temporarily while installing new version?
I suppose this is the best forum for this question.
I have a complete redo of my site ready to go. I would like to install it and then go through a dry run on the actual running site on my server to make sure its ok because one thing I have learned you can write tests till you are blue in the face and test on your local machine as much as you want, there's always going to be something different on the production server.
What is the best way to gracefully take the site down, let visitors know it's down and to come back in a bit, while I can still actually access it and test it out for an hour or so?
I've thought of
-- redirecting all requests to a "site is down" page via htaccess. But then that would redirect me too
-- require a login via htaccess to get into my site. that would confuse people and on top of that I tried this during my site's lil beta run and for some reason once the htaccess authentication was in place, it completely broke rails after you logged in.
-- pointing domain name somewhere else and then accessing my site via my host's name. But where to point it to?
-- upload and test the site in a subdomain. Once I'm sure it's ok, quickly switch it to be the main site. This is probably what I'm going to do.
If anyone's done this before I'd like to hear how. Thanks!

There is still quite a bit of time left before the official launch of Core i7 processors with Nehalem micro-architecture. According to Japanese sources, the long-anticipated new processor is scheduled to be announced only in the second decade of November. Nevertheless, the leading mainboard makers have made sure that they are armed and ready for the new platform in advance: they already have ready mainboard designs for LGA1366 processor socket that the first Core i7 models will support.
These mainboards are based on the new Intel X58 Express chipset. It supports not only the new Intel QuickPath Interconnect processor bus, but also up to four graphics slots that can work as "PCI Express x16 + PCI Express x16" or "4 x PCI Express x8". The chipset comes with ICH10R South Bridge that we already know from the "fourth" chipset series. Note that LGA1366 mainboards support triple-channel DDR3-1333 memory, but the actual memory controller will now be in the CPU and not in the chipset.
ASUS prepared P6T Series of motherboards for the upcoming launch. We currently know some details about the P6T Deluxe mainboard. Equipped with six DDR3 memory slots for triple-channel configurations, the P6T Deluxe has three PCI-Express x16 2.0 slots, revolutionary 16-phase power design and traditional advanced heatpipes chipset cooler. In addition, the board has six SATA 3.0 Gbps ports and two SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) connectors, an IDE port and eSATA, dual Gigabit Ethernet and 7.1-channel audio. You can check out the photos of this board here.
Gigabyte's top solution will be called X58 Extreme and will offer 6 DDR3 DIMM slots and 4 PCI Express x16 2.0 slots. The processor voltage regulator circuitry will include 12 phases, and the chipset and VRM cooling systems will use heatpipe technology, copper heatsinks and ability to be connected to a liquid-cooling contour. X58 Extreme will also boast 6 SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, a PATA port, dual Gigabit Ethernet and eight-channel audio. For more details on this board go to TweakTown.
MSI Company will offer a series of mainboards for LGA1366 with X58 Eclipse as its flagship solution. This mainboard is equipped with three graphics PCI Express x16 2.0 slots and six DDR3 DIMMs. The board has 6 phase CPU power, 10 onboard SATA2 ports and a PATA port for legacy storage devices. The pictures and additional details on MSI X58 Eclipse are available here.

The IEEE on Monday announced that its standards board has ratified the IEEE 802.11n-2009 amendment, defining mechanisms that provide significantly improved data rates and ranges for wireless local area networks (WLANs). The new standard – which has been under development for years – will significantly improve data transfer speeds in WLANs. It is interesting to note that there are already hundreds of products compliant with 802.11 draft n spec.
"This was an extraordinarily wide-ranging technical challenge that required the sustained effort and concentration of a terrific variety of participants. When we started in 2002, many of the technologies addressed in 802.11n were university research topics and had not been implemented," said Bruce Kraemer, chaimanr of the IEEE Wireless LAN Working Group.
The 802.11n standard will enable rollout of significantly more scalable WLANs that deliver 10-fold-greater data rates (up to 600Mb/s) than previously defined while ensuring co-existence with legacy systems and security implementations.
More than 400 individuals from equipment and silicon suppliers, service providers, systems integrators, consultant organizations and academic institutions from more than 20 countries participated in a seven-year effort leading to IEEE 802.11n's ratification. Publication of the amendment is scheduled for mid-October.
The IEEE 802.11 standard defines how to design interoperable WLAN equipment that provides a variety of capabilities including a wide range of data rates, quality of service, reliability, range optimization, device link options, network management and security.
"The performance improvements achieved via IEEE 802.11n stand to transform the WLAN user experience, and ratification of the amendment sets the stage for a new wave of application innovation and creation of new market opportunities," added Mr. Kraemer.

Sainte-Marie, Buffy
Buffy Sainte-Marie 1941–
American Indian songwriter, singer, and musician.
Sainte-Marie is best known for her songs about the plight of the American Indian. She has not restricted her songwriting only to this category, however. Moving through many different genres, she has adapted traditional songs and written very personal lyrics. She has also experimented with orchestras and avant-garde electronics. Her work can be identified by her highly distinctive voice, which she uses more as an instrument of personal expression than merely as a device for carrying a tune.
Sainte-Marie first began singing professionally in the early sixties while a student at the University of Massachusetts. Her unique voice and highly original songs attracted a good deal of attention. Among her best-known early songs are "Now That the Buffalo's Gone" and "My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying," songs about the dilemma of the Indian; "Cod'ine," an indictment of drugs; and "Universal Soldier," a topical song about war.
Sainte-Marie's most popular song, however, is "Until It's Time for You to Go." This widely-recorded song is a tender, mature look at love and changing social mores. It is typical of her more recent work, which is easily accessible but has received less critical praise than her earlier work.
Sainte-Marie's career is characterized by the innovations in her music. She has recorded country and rock albums, and has gone from performing as a solo artist to leading a rock-oriented group. She admits that not all of her experiments have been successful, yet most critics agree that her best work is provocative and insightful.
Buffy Sainte-Marie, a new name on the folk scene, may soon be a major one when the full impact of this young and vibrant Cree Indian girl registers via her upcoming debut album….
What makes Miss Sainte-Marie particularly individualistic lies in her unique status as a female troubadour who performs her own original compositions. Some of her songs are raw and powerful, some are loud and driving, others are just as effectively quiet. But each and every one is her own and all are stamped with her intensely personal involvement with the world in which she and her auditors live and she sings them with deep and passionate conviction.
"New Acts," in Variety (copyright 1963, by Variety, Inc.), December 18, 1963, p. 50.
Irving Kolodin
For all that [Sainte-Marie] is college educated and the possessor of a degree in Oriental philosophy, her performances are rooted in a deep assimilation of folkways which have rarely enjoyed so persuasive a voice. Whether the matter itself is really aboriginal or mostly original, Sainte-Marie herself is an aboriginal original blessed with a rare command of the powers that communicate….
[The range of her subject is] the perennially recurrent he and she, life and death, joy and sorrow, love requited and love unrequited.
Irving Kolodin, "Music to My Ears," in Saturday Review (copyright © 1967 by Saturday Review; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Vol. L, No. 45, November 11, 1967, p. 73.
Milton Okun
[Buffy Sainte-Marie's] first public appearances were made while she was a college senior and it did not take long before a near cult was forming around her. Everything about Buffy's manner and material radiated excitement and originality and the stamp of a strong new personality. When she sang her blistering indictment of "Cod'ine," one knew that here was a forceful new voice on the songwriting roster. Whether her subsequent songs spoke of topical matters, militarism ("Universal Soldier") or discrimination against Indians, it was always with a fresh point of view and an avoidance of the clichés that early crept into the topical songwriting movement.
Her singing has gone through many transformations, not all of them totally satisfying to some discriminating listeners, who fear that some melodrama is replacing her initial dramatic impact. Whatever the merits of that debate, when Buffy Sainte-Marie addresses herself to one of her two hundred songs, one can always be sure that there will be great power and passion.
Milton Okun, "Buffy Sainte-Marie," in his Something to Sing About!: The Personal Choices of America's Folk Singers (copyright © 1968 by Milton Okun), Collier Books, 1970, p. 184.
Gary Von Tersch
The folk days are gone and Buffy in a way is a ghost from its halycon—but as poetess Denise Levertov has matured with her contact with the Amerika she is living in … so has Miss Sainte-Marie adjusted, as [She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina] reflects.
Gary Von Tersch, "Records: 'She Used to Wanna Be a Ballerina'," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1971; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue 84, June 10, 1971, p. 44.
Janet Maslin
The two most unusual and ambitious cuts [on Moonshot are] "Moonshot" and "You Know How To Turn On Those Lights."… With an air of malevolent mockery that never quite descends into overt sarcasm, [Buffy] casts a baleful eye at space-age technology ("I know a boy from a tribe so primitive / He can call me up without no telephone") and at the smugness of a guy who knows "how to turn on those lights / Don't you, Baby? / You know every switch and every button in the house / Don't you, Baby?" The "Lights" song is more immediate and arresting, but "Moonshot" is the one to linger on, its production eerie and delicate enough to match the poetry and eloquence of Buffy's lyrics.
What's best about Moonshot is that, considering the kind of experimental stylistic departure it represents, it nonetheless bears such a strongly personal stamp. It shows off a do-it-yourselfery so much deeper than Buffy's mere writing, playing, co-producing, and belting out everything so deliberate and strong, that there can be no question where the real energy of her music is coming from, or of how integral and genuine that energy—whatever form she cares to try out next—will always be. (pp. 55-6)
Janet Maslin, "Records: 'Moonshot'," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1972; all rights reserved; reprinted by permission), Issue III, June 22, 1972, pp. 55-6.
Stephen Holden
Though [Buffy Sainte-Marie's] own material [on Quiet Places] is, as usual, tightly crafted and melodic with well-turned lyric phrases, there is no single song as arresting as "Moonshot," the title cut and crown jewel of her last album.
Characteristically, the emotional tenor of Buffy's artistry, furious passion constrained by intellect, is her paramount virtue…. "Quiet Places" (the album's best BSM song), with its demand, "show me in a world that's all gone mad that there are still quiet places," [is] a complaint against civilization itself.
Stephen Holden, "Records: 'Quiet Places'," in Rolling Stone (by Straight Arrow Publishers, Inc. © 1973;...

Noel Coppage
Buffy Sainte-Marie is singing well and writing nice melodies, and I think her idea [in Changing Woman] was to simplify, simplify. But her lyrics are starting to remind me of leftover corn flakes. I mean, if all you want to say is "I love you," maybe it's better to put off writing a batch of song lyrics until something a little more specific comes to mind. Just a thought. It might be a good idea, too, to examine some of these lines, such as "laughter is the grease of growth," in the clear light of morning before rushing off to the mailbox with the copyright papers. If you can stand the words, this album has a nice sound to it….
Noel Coppage, "Changing Woman,"...
(The entire section is 136 words.)
Jacques Vassal
[The] opening track of Buffy's first record, "Now That the Buffalo's Gone," is at the same time revealing and symbolic. She sings to the average white man and woman, pointing out to them that they may have forgotten or tried to forget the plight of the Indians. They never bothered to try to save the buffalo, and it became nearly extinct; surely it's time to help the Indian before he goes the same way.
All that concerns the Indian also concerns Buffy Sainte-Marie, and vice versa. She stated it clearly in It's My Way! (apart from "Now That the Buffalo's Gone," there is on this record a song that tears at the emotions, sung in the language of her tribe: "Mayoo Sto Hoon"); in her third album,...

Aida Pavletich
In any group of Buffy songs there are decorous waltzes, lyrical efflorescences weighted with imagery which does not exclude an occasional glimpse of a steel mind. Her French style torchers have all the gripping qualities of that superannuated mode, combined with unconventional love song lyrics. Other love songs are warmly sentimental, with haughty and forbidding undercurrents. One quality they all have in common is their lively tension.
Buffy's songs have a variety that makes them seem written by women from different backgrounds…. (pp. 61-2)
The most carping criticism comes from the genre loyalists whose boundaries she crosses. The pop audience has little patience with a writer of...

A Place To Call Home
WESTFIELD – Gary Planty, a representative from the Brocton Central School District, had his homework attached with two colored paperclips.
One was green, Brocton's color, and the other blue, Westfield's.
"I wasn't sure which paperclip to use," he said, "so I decided to use both."
Planty's quip represented the dilemma the committee members and the larger community faces if it approves a merger – how to keep as many of the good things as possible, save money and forge a new identity.
The district advisory committee looking into the possibility of the centralization of the Brocton and Westfield school districts met recently after board members from the Brocton and Westfield school boards met jointly.
It was the fifth and final meeting for the committee of 24 – 12 from each district. Meetings have alternated between districts. Seven members of Brocton's representatives and 10 of Westfield's attended the last meeting.
This was the meeting for each committee member to turn in homework. All members were asked to answer the question of whether the districts should merge from their own informed views. Following that, they were asked to provide more technical recommendations including: administrative staff configuration, student/teacher ratios for the various grade levels as well as maximums and minimums for high school classes, the building configuration, busing runs, uses for buildings that might be closed and the impact of the plan on each community.
There were four different recommendations for building configuration.
Five people recommended two elementary schools, a middle school and a high school. This group thought most people would prefer their children stay closer to home.
Seven people favored one elementary school for children in kindergarten through sixth grades, and one middle/high school. This group argued the new district would foster a "we are one" mentality from the beginning. They also pointed out that the seventh- and eighth-grade students would be better served if they were able to take advanced work and play on teams with the high school.
Beth Jagoda from Brocton, who has two young children, was among the people who favored one elementary school.
She thought the elementary school would not be that far no matter where it was.
"I want my children to have a good education," she said.
But those weren't the only views.
Four people favored one building. This group argued it would save the most money, and would really foster a "we are one" mentality.
Maria Resnick's configuration was one building housing kindergarten through eighth grades and one building ninth through 12th grades. Resnick presented an optimistic picture.
"Both communities can and will grow," she said.
She said the one building configuration would foster involvement by the both communities.
Before closing the meeting, consultant Marilyn Kurzawa asked what items were important for the community to understand. Items have been posted on each district's website. One member offered, "The more people know, the better."
Another thought the budget projections should be shared on the website.
Larry McFadden summed it up, "The overall theme is we want the merger."
The next step is for the consultant group to review all the information and write the final report, which is due to the state on Feb. 15.

Call to action: #OCCUPYWALLSTREET
by Jérôme E. Roos on
Adbusters is a well-read high-quality magazine catering towards the insatiable hunger for information and inspiration among the global activist community. Their editorial board has just put out a spectacular call for the occupation of Wall Street. Full article re-posted below (original here, FB event here).
Alright you 90,000 redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,
A worldwide shift in revolutionary tactics is underway right now that bodes well for the future. The spirit of this fresh tactic, a fusion of Tahrir with the acampadas of Spain, is captured in this quote:
"The antiglobalization movement was the first step on the road. Back then our model was to attack the system like a pack of wolves. There was an alpha male, a wolf who led the pack, and those who followed behind. Now the model has evolved. Today we are one big swarm of people."
— Raimundo Viejo, Pompeu Fabra University
Barcelona, Spain
The beauty of this new formula, and what makes this novel tactic exciting, is its pragmatic simplicity: we talk to each other in various physical gatherings and virtual people's assemblies … we zero in on what our one demand will be, a demand that awakens the imagination and, if achieved, would propel us toward the radical democracy of the future … and then we go out and seize a square of singular symbolic significance and put our asses on the line to make it happen.
The time has come to deploy this emerging stratagem against the greatest corrupter of our democracy: Wall Street, the financial Gomorrah of America.
quote: On September 17, we want to see 20,000 people flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices.
eta: quote: Tahrir succeeded in large part because the people of Egypt made a straightforward ultimatum – that Mubarak must go – over and over again until they won. Following this model, what is our equally uncomplicated demand?
The most exciting candidate that we've heard so far is...
a fine idea. as we can imagine from seeing the reaction in the US (and canada) to a protest that only lasts a few hours, this will be busted up by riot cops and there will be violence.
if there's one thing the american system protects, it's the financial industry. They won't let 20 000 or 200 000 people gum that up for long.
if the demand really is to reform the us election laws regarding financial contributions then what is the ask to the fec? is it simply assumed that a sit in on wall street for an hour, day, week etc will force politicians to order the fec to rewrite the election fundraising laws?
i aske because the us is prob the most litigious society in the world so what is the plan then for the ultimate supreme court case. a case that would be similar in my opinion to Buckley v. Valeo which was heard at the us supreme court in 1976.
so if the plan is to change things for 2012 don't think it can happen so what are we planning for? 2014 midterms? 2016 presidential?
August 9th General Assembly at the Irish Potato Famine Memorial
The 2nd General Assembly at the Irish Potato Famine Memorial was a great success. About 50-80 people showed up, there was good energy and we self organized into a fairly well functioning assembly. We spoke about our personal reasons for being there, the groups feelings about demands and message, and then broke up into committees.
Off the top of my head those committees are:
OUTREACH - Next meeting: Thursday August 11th at 5pm, at the Verizon picket line, on the corner of Barclay and West st. Remember, we are all part of the outreach committee.
FOOD - No word on this. I've contacted Chris who is leading this committee (as I understand) about a meeting and if I can share his e-mail with y'all
LOGISTICS - This group stayed very late. I wasn't able to stick around, perhaps someone who was there can give a write up.
STUDENTS - We had a handful of students from colleges around the NYC area.
FACILITATION - I am unsure if this committee met or has been formed.
INTERNET - I am a part of this committee. We want to form a web space for the General Assembly where we can share documents, ideas, and links to other groups in solidarity. Next meeting: Thursday (aug 11), 5pm @ Earth Matters 177 Ludlow St Though, I suggest we meet in the same place as the outreach committee, as our groups have shared goals.
PLEASE give me any updates, corrects, or new information in the comments and I will amend this post.

Joint Solidarity Statement by US Day of Rage and the October2011 Movement: Our struggles are interconnected and so we organize in mutual support and solidarity with each other.
The Freedom Plaza beginning on that day to nonviolently disrupt the disloyal, incompetent, and corrupt special interests which have usurped our nation's civil and military power, spawning a host of threats to our liberty, lives and national security....
As I write these words, out-of-control hordes are swarming throughout downtown Manhattan. Their disregard for human decency, for the sanctity of people's homes, jobs, property and health is beyond anything seen since the Dark Ages.

Madrid joins 'Antibanks action' on September 17th, support to #Occupywallstreet
Posted by European Revolution
Published by the Economics Working Group of Madrid at TomaLaPlaza.net
The Economics Working Group of SOL (Madrid) in support to the initiative "Occupy WALL STREET" promoted by various associations and movements in the United States who have decided to camp out in front of the New York Stock Exchange on September 17 in order to ask for an economy serving the people, the regulation of financial markets, limiting their influence on political life, the creation of a public bank and a fair and equitable sharing of wealth.
We likewise call for all citizens to focus in front of the Madrid Stock Exchange on September 17, a day in which we will discuss those and those that sank the economy, which are the same and the same, institutions now betting against our future and promoting major cuts in social demand. Cuts which not only dramatically slow economic recovery, but also condemn the majority citizens to have worse schools, hospitals worse, worse pensions for our elderly, poorer infrastructure, thus conditioning the future of future generations.
It also clarifies that there is a double reason for making this event on a Saturday, because we want to help our American colleagues, who will begin their camp that day, and because during this time we will organize a forum for presenting lectures and discussions in addition to our complaint, presenting possible alternatives to our current economical situation.....
Marx Was Right; Capitalism Can Destroy Itself: Roubini
"...Karl Marx got it right, at some point capitalism can destroy itself,' said Mr Roubini, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal. 'We thought markets worked, They're not working.."
That twitter page for occupy Bay Street did not tell me too much. Is it really about occuping the Street or about getting into the actual buildings? If you occupy the street, you annoy people trying to get to Starbucks for their break. If you actually occupy the buildings themselves you might actually be able to shut down stuff ie computers, terminals, etc and actually impact THEM.
You can meet at a variety of locations to discuss things; once you have made the decision to occupy a public space or a corporate space, you ought to have plans in advance of what you want to do or the police, security will have it just that much easier.
..imo the main purpose is to have a large gathering then have open meetings. to inspire even more people to come out not to occupy the bldg but to discuss things. then collectively produce a plan of action. if the stock exchange gets shut down..bonus!
..the opening post says it all. and on their site i have found all sorts of organizing going on. as i'm sure you know this is in line with what is going on in europe and in particular spain. this is an attempt at a different tactic and i understand that you have a concern or 2. i see this attempt based on participitory democracy. this is not just an occupation. it's the coming together and deciding that is most important. well that and the numbers. as for the police they will do what they will do. the best defense is overwhelming numbers.
The opening post talks about wanting a presidential commission. And I am saying something different should be done for different reasons, ends, etc. Actually what is ongoing is very different in very different cultures; in those other countries, there is greater understanding, more widespread acknowledgment about what is going on. Here activists are entirely separate from everyone else, in their own big sort (some of it imposed, some of it their own making).

..txs 2dawall
..the opening post i meant the picture and the one demand. sorry. the talk is that the demand will be "ending the influence money has over their reps". that would be huge and something that most people could adopt and get behind. and ever so threatening to the powers that be. at least i think so.
..how i'm seeing this is as a spectator. well a bit more as i herald this square movement. but still i'm a spectator and i see it as alive and growing. people are connecting all over the world. remember this movement was born just a few short months ago. it has grown in popularity, as the way forward, at an astonishing rate. it has accomplished what was not believed to be possible a year ago.
..it remains to be seen whether in the end we can win our new world but this is a stab at it. it's exciting to boot. new organizational frontiers.
..i'm re-posting the swarm. it gives an idea how organizing can be different.
Swarmwise: What Is A Swarm?
A Swarm is a new kind of organization, made possible by available and affordable mass communication. Where it used to take hundreds of full-time employees to organize 100,000 people, today that can be done — and is done — by somebody in their spare time from their kitchen.
There are many misconceptions about what a Swarm is. Let's begin by dispelling what it is not.
It is not an amorphous cloud of equals, where nobody gets any decision power. While this would be an ideal society to some, it is not a Swarm.
Neither is it a traditional hierarchical organization where commands are issued top-down and people are expected to follow them. A Swarm may look like this from the outside, but that's not what it is.
Rather, it is a scaffolding set up by a few individuals that enable tens of thousands of people to cooperate on a common goal in their life. These tens of thousands are usually vastly diverse and come from all walks of life, but share one common goal. The scaffolding set up by one or a few individuals allow these thousands of people to form a Swarm around it and start changing the world together....

On September 17th we will stand/sit with a nice cuppa in solidarity with our friends around the world. We will use this day as a sounding board deciding our future actions and planning for a better world, a better life.
A list of the worlds actions with us : http://antibanks.takethesquare.net/
In America a big event is happening : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144937025580428
Occupy Wall Street will be huge, but remember: whatever the currency capitalism kills.
So we march, have a lovely sit-down and maybe even a cuppa. All whilst we show that these banks don't own us.
Check out another event with us : http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=104169466353364
THIS IS NOT A VIOLENT PROTEST! KEEP PEACEFUL AT ALL TIMES! It is a just picnic after all.
Published 2011-09-08 02:53:49 UTC by OccupyWallSt
On September 17, 20,000 of us will descend on Wall Street, the iconic financial center of America, set up a peaceful encampment, hold a people's assembly to decide what our one demand will be, and carry out an agenda of full-spectrum, absolutely nonviolent civil disobedience the likes of which the country has not seen since the freedom marches of the 1960s.
From our encampment we will launch daily smart mob forays all over lower Manhattan … peaceful, creative happenings in front of Goldman Sachs; the SEC; the Federal Reserve; the New York Stock Exchange … and maybe even, if we can figure out where they're being held, at the sites of Obama's private $38,500 per person fundraising events happening somewhere in Manhattan on Sept. 19 and 20.
Our strategy will be that of the master strategist Sun Tzu: "appear at points which the enemy must hasten to defend; march swiftly to places where you are not expected."
With a bit of luck, and if fate is on our side, we may be able to turn all of lower Manhattan into a site of passionate democratic contestation – an American Tahrir Square.
We will do all this with peace in our hearts. Our unshakable commitment to nonviolence will give us the spiritual strength we need to inspire the nation and to ultimately triumph in the weeks and maybe months of struggle that will unfold after September 17....
PS. Last week Anonymous endorsed #OCCUPYWALLSTREET with a video that attracted over 70,000 views. The Department of Homeland Security has warned the nation's bankers to be prepared. Corporate owned media is taking notice.
September 17 is a Saturday; Wall Street businesses will not be open the - the stock exchange does not run on Sat.
quote: On September 17, we want to see 20,000 people flood into lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street for a few months. Once there, we shall incessantly repeat one simple demand in a plurality of voices.
How about a show of solidarity here in Toronto? Bay Street anybody?
Posted 2011-09-08 04:30:31 UTC by OccupyWallSt
On Thursday, Sept. 1st, a small group of demonstrators were met with police intimidation while performing a peaceful and legal occupation of a public sidewalk on Wall Street for a single night. Nine were arrested for disorderly conduct and later released without charge. One demonstrator was held for 24 hours because he was unable to provide proof of residency....
In the United States they are preparing to occupy Wall Street, in Spain they will demonstrate at the Stock-Market headquarters… What's going to happen in your city?
When you get to Wall Street... post these everywhere!
Find space on a PUBLIC SIDEWALK in NYC on Wall Street or as close to Wall Street as possible. If the street is occupied or blocked, move to the next possible block.
According to a 2000 federal court ruling, the use of "public sleeping as a means of symbolic expression" is allowed on public sidewalks in New York City as long as you do not block pedestrians. See METROPOLITAN COUNCIL, INC., Plaintiff, -against- HOWARD SAFIR, Commissioner of the New York City Police Department, et al., June 12, 2000 [99 F. Supp. 2d 438; 2000 U.S. Dist.]
Camping, however, is prohibited. DO NOT SET UP A TENT.
Keep in mind that permits are legally required for assemblies of more than 20 or more people within the confines of NYC public parks, which close at 10pm. YOU DO NOT NEED A PERMIT TO OCCUPY OR PEACEABLY ASSEMBLE ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS.....

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 27, 2012 – Following bronze medal efforts at the 2012 London Games, Olympians Terrence Jennings (Alexandria, Va.) and Paige McPherson (Sturgis, S.D.) led the field as the 2012 Senior Athletes of the Year. Logan Gerick (Keller, Texas) and Cheyenne Lewis (Elk Grove, Calif.) earned Male and Female Junior Athletes of the Year, respectively, Dennis Kim (Gainesville, Va.) took Coach of the Year, and Olympic official Myung Chan Kim (Columbia, S.C.) earned Referee of the Year honors.
"USA Taekwondo is proud to recognize these incredible individuals for all their success in 2012," said USAT CEO Eric Parthen. "USA Taekwondo is built on the shoulders of great athletes, coaches and referees, and these recipients represent our membership well."
First time Olympian Jennings captured the bronze medal in the men's -68 kg division on a last-second three-point head shot to knock off Brazil's Diogo Silva. Jennings earned the right to represent Team USA in London by knocking off 2008 silver medalist Mark Lopez (Sugar Land, Texas) 1-0 in the 2012 Olympic Team Trials.
McPherson also won Olympic bronze in a convincing 8-3 win against Slovenia's Franka Anic in the women's -67 kg division. Her victory lap around the mat capped off a year that also included defeating 2004 Olympic silver medalist Nia Abdallah (Houston, Texas) to earn her first Olympic berth at the 2012 Olympic Trials.
Gerick began the year by qualifying for Senior Team Trials in January and did not look back. As a Junior bantam weight, he was a 2012 U.S. Junior National Team Member and went undefeated at the 2012 Junior World Championships Open Team Trials and went on to represent Team USA in the 2012 Junior World Championships in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. A well-respected team member, Gerick was elected Team Captain at the U.S. Junior National Team Camp at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Lewis competed in 10 tournaments in 2012 and compiled a record of 44-3 with a 475-86 point differential. She has never earned less than a silver medal since joining the 14-17 Juniors, nor has she lost a fight by more than one point. As a Junior feather and welterweight, Lewis took gold at the 2012 World Team Trials, the U.S. Open and USAT Nationals, among others.
Dennis Kim produced four Junior National Team members in 2012, including 2012 Junior World Championship Team member Brandon Ivey (Ashburn, Va.). Siwon Kim (Chantilly, Va.), Sohwon Kim (Chantilly, Va.) and Christian Yun (Ashburn, Va.) competed for Kim on the 2012 Junior National Team. Kim's 14 athletes earned 10 medals at the 2012 National Championships in Dallas, Texas, which included five gold medals. Kim was appointed an honorary member to Kukkiwon's advisory board.
M.C. Kim was selected to serve as referee at the 2012 London Olympics in May of 2012. In addition to the Olympic Games, Kim officiated many national and international events this year, including the U.S. Open, U.S. Team Trials, USAT National Championships, U.S. Cup, Pan American Championships and the World Cup. While travelling all over the world in pursuit of his goal, he was also able to continue to run his school, serve as President of the South Carolina Taekwondo Association and continue in his role as the Referee Chair for PATU.

spazster , I gotta ask...are you preheating the pan and that is why you don't think you'd be able to pull off making it right in the pan?
Yeah, that's waaay too hot man....it's a wonder you're still alive! What type/style of pizza are you working here spazster?
You have to special order that thing... I guess nothing is safe enough for this case...
I just got a 16X16X1/2 steel plate. I don't think I'm daring enough to try it with that, but I might get a plate that is only 1/8 inch thick and attempt it.
Why? What type of oven do you have spaz?
spaz...this is a good pizza that is within your reach. although he is on aluminum, your steel plate will be oh so similar. I just chose this pic cause it's current.It baked fast.... http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,21951.msg233048.html#msg233048
I hope I get something of similar quality. This weekend I'm going to try to mirror what Communist did except for one pizza I'm going to use a screen for the first two minutes so I can make a perfectly round 16 inch pizza.
What communist did?In the future please apply links for us 'ol timers spaz....you know how it is.... I really feel that you will reach perfectly circular this time.
Peter, you've got the 1/2" steel, which, with your oven, will give you any non Neapolitan bake time your heart desires. You can certainly look at your broiler and see if it can do Neapolitan, but the odds are astronomical that it can't. Assuming this is the case, 1/2" steel, in a fixed position, will give you everything this oven is capable of giving you. Enough of this hot hearth moving madness
I fixed it
Well, maybe but that's not what I'm saying. When I say I 'fixed it', it means I fixed my post to reflect your previous comment:http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,22795.msg233140.html#msg233140

Program Requirements
The growing understanding of music theory and history must be accompanied by increasing skill in some performing medium. Membership in a major performing organization (Chorus, Orchestra, or Symphonic Band) is required for all music majors throughout their tenure at LIU Post. Ensembles are offered for zero or one credit per semester. Music majors, however, must register for zero credit in their primary ensemble. Transcripts will reflect all participation in performing ensembles.
All music majors must register for Convocation (MUS 4) each semester. Convocation meets at the designated activity hour and may include guest lecturers, artists and master classes. All Music majors are also required to attend at least three Department of Music concerts/recitals per semester.
All music majors taking applied music lessons are required to sing or play before a jury at the end of each semester of applied instruction. The results of the jury performance will be reflected in the final grade. Upon completion of the music theory and music history course sequences, all music majors must complete two Comprehensive Examinations (Music Theory and Music History), which cover the content of those course sequences. The purpose of these examinations is to determine weaknesses in the student's knowledge that can still be remedied during the senior year. Deficiencies detected at this time may require a student to take the Senior Music Review (MUS 100). All music majors must achieve a grade of "C" or higher to be given degree credit for any MUS course. Students may also not move on to the next level of any sequentially based series of MUS courses unless a grade of "C" or higher is achieved.
In order for music majors to maintain music major standing, and thereby have access to MUS courses, all music majors must maintain a grade point average of 2.75 in their major (MUS courses for the B.M. and B.S. in Music; MUS and EDU courses for the B.M. and B.S. in Music Education) and a grade point average of 2.5 overall. Should a student fall below the minimum grade point averages, the student will be considered on academic probation.
Students in the pre-professional programs in music are required to rehearse and perform. Professional behavior dictates attending scheduled rehearsals, performances and other meetings of each performing group. Being on time and prepared for all such activities is essential. Students who have unexcused tardiness or absences from scheduled meetings, rehearsals and performances may be subject to a monetary penalty. These fines range from $25-$100. Failure to pay these fines may result in an academic block; delay of graduation; and/or subject the student to dismissal from the pre-professional program.
