U.S. Ambassador Teddy Taylor presided over the closing celebration ceremony for the Efate Ring and Santo East Coast roads in Vanuatu on April 12, 2011. Prime Minister Sato Kilman, Deputy Prime Minister Ham Lini, Minister of Finance Moana Carcasses, New Zealand High Commissioner Bill Dobbie, Australian High Commissioner Jeff Roach, and Frances Reid and Chris Cookson from the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) attended. The five-year, US$65.69 million project included US$9 million in funding from New Zealand.
Looking back over the history of the project, which started under my predecessor Kim Strollo, I was amazed that, despite two years of extreme weather and earthquakes, Vanuatu had not only met but also exceeded the ambitious timelines set under the MCC Compact.
I also had the great privilege of working closely with Chris Cookson. Our small embassy (10 Americans total) in Port Moresby also covers Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, and we have no direct presence in Vanuatu. Therefore, political, economic and public diplomacy officers, such as myself, often rely upon the good will of people like Chris to provide us with the necessary contacts and information that we need to do our job. Suffice it to say, Chris has been tireless in her efforts to provide any and all assistance. I love you Chris!
I was ecstatic that this project went so smoothly. Credit for that has to go to Chris and her team. In the Pacific, no one should underestimate the logistical and communication challenges. Phones and Internet lines can be down for weeks, not days. Imagine the consternation that would take place in D.C. if someone could not get access to the Internet, or their Blackberry was down for even 30 seconds.
Then there were the challenges of rehabilitating and sealing of 149.7 kilometers of roads on Santo and Efate. Yet, this was completed five months ahead of schedule and on budget! Construction also involved 30 percent more work to extend and widen sealed sections and enhance road safety and sustainability. The wonderful people of Vanuatu have certainly proven that they can make good use of MCC-funded investments.
At the beginning, few could imagine how many ni-Vanuatu would contribute to the planning, building, and maintenance of these roads. One important aspect of MCC Compacts is that the strategies ensure open consultations and maximize opportunities for local employment and income-sharing for men and women, youth, and vulnerable groups. Gender and equity requirements were integrated into all major contracts. The MCC provided training and guidance.
Perhaps, best of all, the Compact provided women with non-traditional and leadership roles at village and national levels. Women and youth groups also played a critical role in the new community road maintenance contracts. Given the prominence that Secretary Clinton has placed on empowering women, and the fact that doing so is Embassy Port Moresby's number one mission strategic resource plan (MSRP) goal, this was another major plus.
The two roads are key to the economic growth of the whole nation as well as improving access to services for rural villages. I have always been amazed, even awed, by the fortitude of the women in the region as they carry their heavy loads of vegetables and fruit to markets, sometimes in the blazing heat and humidity, other times during lashing downpours.
The MCC projects that, over the next 20 years, the Efate Ring Road will directly benefit an estimated 16,564 people within a five-kilometer catchment area. In September 2010, traffic counts showed that the Efate Ring Road had exceeded the targeted increase in daily traffic by 117 percent.
In addition, community road maintenance contracts represent a potential average annual increase in household income of US$280 for the 5,931 beneficiary households (2,506 in Efate and 3,425 in Santo) within the MCC-funded road-catchment areas.
Preliminary economic analyses of the both the Efate Ring Road and the Santo East Coast Road estimate that sealed road improvements will generate an estimated US$5.6 million savings in vehicle operating costs during the first year. This, said U.S. Ambassador Teddy Taylor during the closing ceremony, constitutes "very significant savings.""The roads give women access to markets and that means economic empowerment," said Ambassador Taylor. "The roads give women access to schools and that means educational and employment empowerment. The road gives women access to health facilities and that means healthier women and babies."
Eileen in California writes:
This is a worthy project and perhaps its success can be extended into Vanuatu's neighbor: Solomon Islands.
Every rainy seasons the roads heading west on Guadalcanal wash out and need rebuilding. In the mean time travel from villages like Visale becomes difficult and borders on impossible.
Assistance in establishing quality health care at the end of those roads should be a consideration.

The controversy surrounding the upcoming production of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess is merely the latest stir generated across the storied history of George Gershwin's "folk opera." Since Porgy and Bess premiered in 1935, debate has ensued over its portrayal of African Americans and over the restrictions requiring all sung roles, at least for staged productions in the United States, be assigned to Blacks. Even the very nature of the work itself has raised questions – is it opera, musical, or some hybrid of the two?
The controversial nature of the "folk opera" has undeniably affected its popularity over the decades. However, has the equally undeniable beauty and power of Gershwin's music, DuBose Heyward's story, and Ira Gershwin's lyrics finally earned for Porgy and Bess the status as America's greatest contribution to 20th-century opera?
Have attitudes about Porgy and Bess and interest in performing the work finally reached a level where it can become a staple in the standard repertoire of vocal studios and opera houses?
Author Randye Jones explored current perceptions of Porgy and Bess through a survey of singers, vocal instructors, opera directors and others with an interest in the opera. She analyzed the participants' responses to questions related to their knowledge of the opera, their depth of experience with the opera as either performers or listeners, their views about the characterization of African Americans in the opera, and their thoughts about the opera's future, especially regarding the assignment of singing roles to non-Blacks.
The article includes numerous, insightful comments made by the survey respondents, as well as excerpts from interviews Jones conducted with five singers who have performed in the opera.

A wiki is an online document, viewed in a web browser, that allows a user or users to add, collect, and organize information on a topic. This site at the University of South Florida also features a good wiki explanation. Usually, but not always, people work collaboratively on a wiki, so it's a terrific learning tool, and everyone in a group benefits from the knowledge and skills of everyone else. Wikis can be simple or extremely complex — beauty is less important than content. The word wiki comes from a Hawaiian word that means fast.
Recently I collaborated with a group of colleagues to make a DigiParenting wiki for our presentation at the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). We set up this wiki up because our small group wanted a place where we could combine all of our resources and continue to do so on a regular basis — making our wiki a dynamic and ever-change location for materials that can help parents learn more about their digital-age children.

text: Carl, lunch tomorrow (Wed), Noodle Express? Here's the 1st cut at this year's contribution request: Once each year I solicit contributions for the upkeep of micapeak.com (which powers this mailing list, assorted Web sites and other services). It's that time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributions (in US dollars) can be made in two ways. The less-desirable method is to send your check to: H M Lewis (micapeak.com) PO Box 14755 Spokane, WA 99214 USA The PREFERRED WAY is to use PayPal (http://www.paypal.com) to make your donation directly to: marcl at micapeak.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's the request. Now, if you're still with me, I'll be a little bit more verbose, and tell you why Carl and I would very much appreciate your contribution. In January, 2008 we moved micapeak.com, wetleather.com, r1200gs.info, fjr1300.info, and all our 80-odd motorcycle mailing lists to a very high-tech, state-of-the-art regional data center in Liberty Lake, WA, USA. Although they erroneously billed us for $1700 worth of excess bandwidth during the year, we got that straightened out a few weeks ago and it looks like we will keep them as our hosting site. Regarding system availability and up-time they were excellent! As for the cost -- I used to say that in spite of not having (or wanting!) a day job, I could still cover the expenses completely out of my own pocket if necessary. Due to my retirement savings declining in value by 50% last year, that's no longer true if I want to maintain and ride my motorcycles. Which I very much want to do! :-) Fortunately, Carl and I know that some of the folks for whom this mailing list is an important part of daily life are willing to show their appreciation with a modest donation. We encourage you to think about how much time you spend each day following this list, or using micapeak's other resources. If it seems worthwhile to you, then please consider contributing something. Carl and I will continue to operate the mailing lists, micapeak.com and other Websites for the foreseeable future (we even have sections in our wills to make sure the online stuff survives us). There is no obligation to contribute anything on your part and you'll continue to get the email and Webpages we serve for free. But we'd appreciate it if you'd help out... Thanks in advance! --hmarc SPECIAL NOTE: Let's not make this a topic of discussion on the mailing list, OK? Contribute or don't, as it suits you, but we have neither the time nor the energy to discuss the subject further than what you see above. And we're sure your fellow subscribers would rather not have the list itself cluttered with more than this notice on the subject. Thanks! (BTW -- I'll post this message just once more in about two weeks).

Loretta Sanchez on Social Security
Democratic Representative (CA-47)
Balance America's Commitments to the Young and the Old
An ever-growing share of the federal budget today consists of automatic transfers from working Americans to retirees. Moreover, the costs of the big entitlements for the elderly -- Social Security and Medicare -- are growing at rates that will eventually bankrupt them and that could leave little to pay for everything else government does. We can't just spend our way out of the problem; we must find a way to contain future costs. The federal government already spends seven times as much on the elderly as it does on children. To allow that ratio to grow even more imbalanced would be grossly unfair to today's workers and future generations. In addition, Social Security and Medicare need to be modernized to reflect conditions not envisioned when they were created in the 1930s and the 1960s. Social Security, for example, needs a stronger basic benefit to bolster its critical role in reducing poverty in old age. Medicare needs to offer retirees more choices and a modern benefit package that includes prescription drugs. Such changes, however, will only add to the cost of the programs unless they are accompanied by structural reforms that restrain their growth and limit their claim on the working families whose taxes support the programs.
RESOLUTION: Recognizing the unique effects that proposals to reform Social Security may have on women.
To reject proposals to partially or completely substitute private saving accounts for the lifelong, guaranteed, inflation-protected insurance benefits provided through Social Security. The Congress finds the following:
The mission of the Alliance for Retired Americans is to ensure social and economic justice and full civil rights for all citizens so that they may enjoy lives of dignity, personal and family fulfillment and security. The Alliance believes that all older and retired persons have a responsibility to strive to create a society that incorporates these goals and rights and that retirement provides them with opportunities to pursue new and expanded activities with their unions, civic organizations and their communities.
The following ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.
Scoring system for 2014: Ranges from 0% (supports privatization and other market-based reforms) to 100% (supports keeping federal control over Trust Fund and Social Security system).
About ARA (from their website, www.RetiredAmericans.org):
The Alliance for Retired Americans is a nationwide organization, founded in May 2001, with now over 4.2 million members working together to make their voices heard in the laws, policies, politics, and institutions that shape our lives. The mission of the Alliance for Retired Americans is to ensure social and economic justice and full civil rights for all citizens so that they may enjoy lives of dignity, personal and family fulfillment and security.

How do you take your black tea without milk?
I've been trying for a while to enjoy it without milk, but always seem to burn my tongue or wind up with disgustingly sweet or bitter tea, so I figured I'd ask how you guys enjoy your clear tea.

I love this pocket! I purchased it at my local teacher supply store. I made vocabulary cards and printed them on cardstock. I cut them out, laminated them, and then put a magnet on the back. This pocket holds the cards and is on my white board as an interactive vocabulary center.

The Committee on Consumer Policy (CCP) is the only intergovernmental forum addressing a broad range of consumer issues. It aims to help public authorities enhance the development of effective consumer policies. It does so by i) carrying out research and analysis, and developing policy guidelines on topics of common interest; ii) exchanging information on current and emerging issues and trends; and iii) examining ways to strengthen policy outcomes, both among governments and with other stakeholders.
The committee, which includes senior consumer policy and enforcement officials from OECD governments, works closely with experts from civil society and the business community. In addition to its semi-annual meetings, the CCP organises workshops on specific issues in which stakeholders from non-member economies often take part. Some of these non-members - Colombia, India, Peru, Latvia and Egypt - participate in the committee as regular observers.

Posted on 12/06/2012 9:55:50 AM PST by MichCapCon
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said today that a bill will be introduced that would make Michigan the nation's 24th right-to-work state.
"When it arrives on my desk, I plan on signing it," he said.
In a press conference with the House and Senate Majority leaders and three union members, the Governor suggested that a bill would be introduced today.
Under the legislation, employees would only pay union representation fees (also called "agency fees") if they chose to do so. Federal law prohibits workers from being required to be union members and pay union dues as a condition of employment. However, unless a state has a right-to-work law, employees in companies where a union already exists are forced to pay union fees if they don't pay the dues. Typically, the fees are nearly as costly as the dues.
"I'm asking that we pass an act that gives workers freedom in the workplace," said Governor Rick Snyder.
The governor called it "pro-worker" and said he wants it "promptly and efficiently."
The Governor said the legislation will cover both public and private-sector with one carve out for public safety, meaning police and fire personnel. He said this was because of their "unique status" and cited Public Act 312, which creates a binding arbitration process for labor disputes.
"This is about fairness ... it is not about Republican vs. Democrat or worker vs. management," said Republican House Speaker Jase Bolger. "[Workers] deserve the freedom to choose which organizations they want to join and which organizations they do not want to join."
"We have come together and believe this is the time to tackle this issue and do something about it," said Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville. Richardville went on to note that he is generally in favor of collective bargaining and believes most members will choose to stay with the union.
All three Republican leaders emphasized that they support collective bargaining rights, but that union members should have a choice. They were joined on the panel by three union members: A teacher from Hamtramck, an AFL-CIO worker and a UAW member with Ford the first two said they plan on staying with their union, but want people to have the choice.
"Right-to-Work states have higher population growth, higher wage growth and greater job creation," said Vincent Vernuccio, labor policy director with the Mackinac Center. "Michigan is one step closer now to bringing more job creators and businesses to our state."
The introduction of a right-to-work bill comes after the state's unions spent more than $23 million on Proposal 2, which would have permanently banned a right-to-work law in Michigan. Voters rejected the constitutional amendment change by a margin of 57 percent against to 43 percent in favor.
Immediately after the election, union executives defended their decision to try and guarantee forced unionism in the state constitution, but also began asking voters, business owners and Republican legislators to not pass a right-to-work bill because it would be divisive.
After Thanksgiving, unions began urging their members to call legislators to encourage a vote against any right-to-work bill. Training sessions also were held for those making calls, telling them how to act on the phone and what to say. Robocalls also reportedly were being made as well.
"I haven't personally heard the robocalls, but I've heard about them," Rep. Mike Shirkey, R-Clark Lake said. The unions are definitely trying to stop the Freedom to Work legislation."
Union attempts to block right-to-work legislation are counter to public opinion. Polls taken last spring showed that about 57 percent of likely voters supported Michigan becoming a right-to-work state.
Passing a bill in the lame-duck session puts the vote in front of existing Legislators who are familiar with the issue. After the beginning of the year, new Legislators take office.
Adoption of a right-to-work law in Michigan would be significant nationally. Michigan would be the first state with a large percentage of union workers to pass such a measure. A little more than 17 percent of the states workers belong to a union, the fifth-highest percentage of unionized workers in the United States.
Last winter, when neighboring Indiana became the first Rust Belt state to adopt a right-to-work law, pressure intensified for Michigan to follow suit. However, Gov. Rick Snyder wasn't anxious to pick a fight with the unions over the issue.
The dynamics, however, changed after the November elections, and in line with a national (and increasingly bipartisan) trend against overreach by many government unions that continue to demand benefits that exceed those of the taxpayers.
"When this becomes law, unions will be free to make their case, but workers will be free to make their choice," said Bolger.
How many union presidents are not fat-cat millionaires and billionaires?
Why don't they just call it what it is, "protection money?"
I'm promoting the use of the term "Union taxes" because that's all dues really are. A tax paid to one more unresponsive layer of government.
THIS IS GREAT NEWS! Thanks for sharing!
This is perhaps the best news for Michigan since my lifetime (and I'm 50!)
Look at WI to see how many continue to pay union dues when they're no longer forced to. If panic hasn't set in yet around the offices of the MI union thugs it soon will.
"How many union presidents are not fat-cat millionaires and billionaires?"
None are billionaires, but I suspect most are fat.
Right to Work - end Union Slavery!
It is comical seeing the "pro-choice" crowd admitting that they are anti choice!
Rank and file teachers may not go on a screed against this..
You see they got a choice of retirement type plans recently.
My education gnome tells me his wife chose the 401k/403b option over the traditional that was frozen because it was too juicy not to.
They are no longer beholden to the Union Pensions, they are free.....
Not to worry - they'll get some RAT judge out of bed and block this. Anyone want to take the opposite side of that bet?
The destruction of unions should be one of every conservatives' top priorities. Eliminate the mind-control influence of unions over workers and you may have an outside shot at rational thinking taking place at the polls.
You also have an outside shot at America being competitive in the world once again.
First it has to be voted on then passed then the demo judge can stop it...
Will believe when I see it....I believe nothing a republican says anymore
A silver lining appears on a very cloudy day.
Godspeed, Michigan!
it is all about control of the pensions.
Pension money is where the power is located.
It has begun. According to what I'm seeing on twitter the goons have already tried kicking the doors open to get into the house and senate chambers and the capitol building is on lockdown.
Apparently these idiots can just walk off the job to go to Lansing.
They had better get the National Guard over there to kick some gooney arse.
Twitchy pics
Watching events unfold on twitter and it sounds like the goons are already getting violent.
1) A judge will issue a stay to prevent its implementation
2) Same judge will throw it out, declaring it to be at odds with either the state or US constitution
This story is great news of course. But so shocking. Who would have ever thought it would be possible in Michigan of all places,a state so heavily blue and union?
There is NO HOPE here in CA. Prop 32 wnt down in flames. Public employee unions are bankrupting the state. The voters are clueless drones.
Video of unionistas trying to intimidate citizens.
The union thugs were infesting the caiptol building yesterday trying to intimidate folks. Lots of air time on the local news (but curiously, nothing about the Detroit Council saying that Obama owed Detroit "quid pro quo"). I expect the thuggery will get worse and the legislators will need protection from the MSP soonish.
Thanks. Watched it. Barbaric thugs....these unions....brownshirts.
A large number of union members voted against the two big ballot proposals last month too.
See post 13, it is becoming less of a factor, for the teachers anyway....
A crushed wee sounds really painful.
" Voters rejected the constitutional amendment change by a margin of 57 percent against to 43 percent in favor."
The final vote tally on prop 2 was 63 - 37%.
Not just states, locally, Beck will have efforts soon in that regard he will launch them big time. The Federal Edifice will rot like the bloated corpse (that is a metaphor) is it. We will have to build local enclaves that will shrug at the smelly beast....
They had a news conference and said they already have the votes to pass it.
RTW in MI is all but a done deal.
They don't "pay" the dues. It's taken out of their checks. Simply making them write a check to the union would do it
They had a news conference and said they already have the votes to pass it.
RTW in MI is all but a done deal.
The union goons know that they've lost before the fight even starts and there will be real violence before its over. Apparently things are escalating by the minute and the goons have tried to rush police who responded with pepper spray and multiple arrests.
Union Supporter Cuts Up Right-to-Work Supporters' Sign
Yup, cops arrested 8 of em after they hosed em down real good with pepper spray.
They locked em out of the Capital building, even the UAW pres Bob King!
The house is already taking the first vote.
This might be a done deal by midnight.
WOOOOOHOOOOOO! Thanks for the post; ping. HOORAY Rick Snyder and Republicans in the legislature! Something I never thought I would see in my lifetime.
GRRRRRRREAT news BUMP!
They scheduled the H+S in session for the entire weekend if needed.
I doubt the RATS will even vote. I also don't think they can stop it by running out of state like they did in WI.
Good for Michigan. They are probably getting tired of the South opening up billion dollar factories and the workers getting the same pay and benefits.
Thanks for the updates and the vids/tweets.
Glad the State Police acted like police should, not like those WI Capitol police did.
I wonder why this isn't in breaking news?
This is a huge story!
Apparently Santa Bama is coming to Michigan.

A tiger for a PrincePosted Thursday, January 26, 2012, at 8:52 AM
By COREY NOLES
The recently retired Cardinals skipper Tony LaRussa was named this week as the official coach of the National League team in the 2012 All-Star match-up.
Tony made no bones about the fact that he really wanted to do this if the opportunity were to arise and frankly, I think he deserves it. After the career he has had and what he did for the Cardinals, this final send-off is well earned.
LaRussa has been reported as saying he would bring Duncan along, but we don't know who else at this point.
This final send-off game, however, will not be a cake walk for the National League team.
Arguably the two most powerful first basemen in the National League have skipped town to the American League over the past 60 days. Obviously, one of them played on the team that Tony pushed through the World Series in 2011.
Prince Fielder signing a nine-year /$214 million deal with the Detroit Tigers shows that the team is ready to make a big splash next year and that they were extremely unhappy with how their season ended. I don't blame them.
I know a lot of people have criticized the Tigers for the deal, but for them it's a great deal in my opinion even if it did cost them too much (Fielder's average annual value is only $220k under Pujols').
First, the loss of Victor Martinez for likely all of 2012 makes the extra bat a necessity for the team that hopes to stay in contention.
Second, if the biggest problem you have is two of the American League's top-five first basemen, then you have something to be happy about. Miguel Cabrera has reportedly already expressed his interest in making the move, so there should be no feelings hurt. He wants to win as bad as the rest of them.
Third, and very important for this franchise, is the fact that they can market the life out of Fielder, whose dad spent six years with the team. Prince should come in with a good reception due to the lineage and the team willlikely sell Fielder memorabilia at twice the soeed they can produce it. Hopefully that will help them recoup part of his paycheck.
Fourth, in Detroit he can DH. That's not an option in Washington even though it appears they weren't as close to a deal as originally reported.
The biggest hiccup for Detroit is that when Martinez returns from his torn ACL in 2013, they will have to find him a place because his catching days are likely over. First base might have been an option, but obviously that won't be happening with Fielder and Cabrera blocking the way.
I have to admit, I've always had a little bit of a soft spot for the Tigers because I have quite a bit of family in Michigan so we rib each other pretty often (more me than them). That made the 2006 World Series a lot of fun (for me, not them). If the Cardinals are out of the running, I would likely follow them.
The Saturday evening when the Rangers officially knocked the Tigers out, my aunt called to concede defeat and declare herself a temporary Cardinals fan.
In other Cardinals news, the team has once again avoided arbitration by signing a one-year contract with "closer" Jason Motte.
The deal is reportedly worth $1.95 million. Motte had requested $2.4 million and arbitration and the club requested $1.5 million.
Last season he made $435,000.
This ties up the final arbitration eligible player for the team.

To see the rosters go to JUNIORS and CADETS.
Scheduled for June 28-30, the Junior Olympic Championships is a super popular tournament and the entry of two wildcard slots can only ramp up the competition and the number of athletes hunting for a spot on one of the world teams.

Teen Review: Afterschool Charisma by Kumiko Suekane and Camellia Nieh
"An excellent manga, I highly recommend it for anyone that likes a good mystery with a good laugh. "Afterschool Charisma" is a story about a school full of clones. The plot line is excellent! "Who would kill of clones of famous people? Weird crazy people." Also the characters are truly funny and interesting. For example they have a clone of Adolf Hitler and he is nothing like the original. He appears to be sweet, kind, friendly, but when he gets angry I'd run in the other direction. Another example of a great character is Elizabeth Tudor. What would she be like in high school? The answer is: funny, happy, and wants to get married. She's cool in her own way! If you like interesting mangas and twist in the story, then this is the manga for you."

Pepperdine Wins First Sand Volleyball Championship
Release courtesy of the AVCA
GULF SHORES, Ala. (April 28, 2012) – Pepperdine University won the team title Saturday at the first first-ever AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championships in Gulf Shores, Ala.
The action was fast and furious as Long Beach State University, Pepperdine, Florida State University and the College of Charleston squared off for the team competition.
Pepperdine swept all five matches against College of Charleston in the opening round of the tournament, with only flight No. 3 going to a third set. The Waves advanced to face the winner of the Florida State/Long Beach State matchup. Two of the top pairs in the tournament squared off in the first flight, with Long Beach State's duo of Tara Roenicke and Caitlin Ledoux knocking off the FSU pair of Brittany Tiegs and Aurora Newgard in three sets (14-21, 21-16, 15-7). Long Beach State would go on to claim the flight, 3-2.
Pepperdine took on Long Beach State in the second round, opening up a quick lead by sweeping the first three flights. With the win in hand, the Waves forfeited flights 4 and 5 because they had already clinched the victory.
The Pepperdine top pair of Caitlin Racich and Summer Ross dominated their matchup with Ledoux and Roenicke, 21-14, 21-12.
College of Charleston and Florida State matched up in an elimination contest. FSU's top two pairs won their flights in convincing fashion, and College of Charleston's team of Andi Zbojniewicz and Kerstin Koehler were the only pair to pull off a win, though claiming it after FSU forfeited the match because it had already clinched the victory, 4-1. FSU advanced to face Long Beach State for a chance to play Pepperdine in the championship.
Long Beach State would claim the matchup with FSU by winning in flights 3-5, enough to clinch the victory. The matchup of top flights Teigs/Newgard (FSU) and Ledoux/Roenicke (LBSU) was forfeited after the teams split the first two sets 16-21, 21-17.
With the victory, Long Beach State moved on to the National Championship matchup with Pepperdine.
Pepperdine, coached by Nina Matthies, defeated Long Beach State University, coached by Brian Gimmillaro, 5-0.
Pepperdine's top pair of Racich and Ross defeated Ledoux and Roenicke, 21-15, 21-11. The LBSU pair of Janisa Johnson and Tyler Jackson put up a fight against Emily Cook and Michaela Christiansen, but ultimately fell 21-16, 22-20. Pepperdine made quick work of LBSU in flights 2-4, and none of the flights went to a third set.
After the match, the Sand All-Americans were recognized. Pepperdine placed four players on the squad, while FSU had three players selected.
The pairs championship will be played on Sunday.

Frequently Asked Questions About International Roaming
Frequently Asked Questions
Helpful Tips About GSM Roaming
Q. Will I be charged long distance in addition to the per-minute roaming rate?
A. No. All calls you make or receive while roaming internationally are charged at the per-minute voice roaming rate—with no additional long distance charges.
Q. What are the rates for calling/data usage in the Gulf of Mexico?
A. Pay-per-use rates for voice calls made or received in the Gulf of Mexico are $0.79 per minute. Charges will be displayed in the domestic section of your wireless bill. Pay-per-use rate for data usage in the Gulf of Mexico is $.010 per KB. Charges will be displayed on the International section of your wireless bill.
Q. How am I charged for voicemail calls while roaming internationally?
A. Voicemail calls are charged as follows:When your device is on:
- Calls that you do not answer that are routed to the AT&T voicemail system will be charged as an international roaming incoming call to your device.
- In addition, the foreign carrier's routing of that call to the AT&T voicemail system may generate an outgoing call charge from your device's location to the U.S.
- These charges apply even if the caller disconnects from the voicemail system without leaving a message.
- When someone tries to call you, the call will go directly to your personal voicemail greeting.
- Since the network does not try to deliver the call to you in a foreign country, there are no international roaming charges.
- Visual Voicemail messages received when roaming outside of the U.S. will be charged at international roaming data rates, either at the international pay-per-use data rate or against your smartphone or iPhone international data package.
Q. How can I access voicemail while roaming internationally?
A. To retrieve voicemail messages:
- Press and hold the retrieval key on your device (this is typically the "1" key).
- Interrupt your personal greeting by pressing the "*" key.
- Enter your voicemail password.
- If you don't know your password you can reset using the following methods:
- Call Customer Service
- In the U.S.: Call 611 or 800-331-0500
- Outside the U.S.: Call 916-843-4685
- Change online at att.com/mywireless
- Log in to att.com/mywireless.
- Under Quick Links, select Wireless Support.
- Under Phone/Device Support select Reset Voicemail Password.
- Submit request to reset voicemail password. A text message will be sent to the phone with the new voicemail password.
- Call Customer Service
- If you don't know your password you can reset using the following methods:
- If you reach the main voicemail system greeting instead of your personal greeting, enter your 10-digit mobile number, then follow steps 2 and 3 (above).
Q. What is a GSM world phone?
A. GSM world phones are devices that operate on international frequencies. These can include "tri-band" phones/devices (which operate on three of the four GSM frequencies) and "quad-band" phones/devices (which operate on all four of the GSM frequencies).
GSM networks in North and South America operate at frequencies of 850 or 1900 MHz, while most networks in other countries operate at frequencies of 900 or 1800 MHz. AT&T also offers phones that operate on 3G technology at 2100 MHz to roam in Japan and South Korea. AT&T recommends quad band phones/devices for most international travelers. Since these wireless devices operate on all four of the international GSM frequencies, you ensure the broadest international coverage available.
Q. Can I access data services while traveling abroad?
A. Text Messaging is typically available in all countries in which AT&T has international voice roaming service (more than 220 countries). Picture, video messaging and GPRS data services are available in more than 195 countries and access to mobile broadband 3G networks is available in more than 120 countries. For details, visit att.com/global.
Q. What steps should I take if my data services are not registering?
A. If you are having difficulty using data services outside the U.S., try these troubleshooting steps:
Try manual scanning: Settings>Options>Network>Change network selection to manual>Click scan for new network>Select a network other than the one on which you are currently registered.
–For PDAs/Blackberry: Remove battery and reinsert.
–For PC Cards: Remove card; reboot computer; reinsert card. If connecting using the Cingular® or AT&T Communications Manager, click Connections, then click Non-Accelerated.
Q. With iPhone, smartphones (PDA/BlackBerry®), or a PC card, do I still have unlimited data usage when I travel outside the U.S.?
A. While using data on iPhone, smartphones (PDA/BlackBerry), or a PC Card may be unlimited within the U.S., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands, international roaming rates apply for any voice or data usage outside our domestic coverage area and are not covered under your existing data plan.
We suggest signing up for one of AT&T's Data Global Plans that can save you money on your roaming and data usage. For details, please visit att.com/worldpackages
Q. How do I minimize my data charges when I use my iPhone outside the U.S.?
A. The iPhone has many robust applications, so it's natural for users to transfer more data on their iPhone than they would using other handsets or PDA devices. AT&T offers the following tips to keep your bill predictable:
–Turn Data Roaming "OFF"
–Use Wi-Fi instead of 3G/GPRS/EDGE
–Turn Fetch New Data "OFF"
–Consider purchasing an international data package
–Reset the usage tracker to zero
For more information on these tips visit att.com/wirelesstraveltips.
Q. How do I contact Customer Care from abroad?
A. If you have problems or questions while roaming outside the U.S., call AT&T at +1-916-843-4685 (a free call from your wireless phone).
Helpful Tips About GSM Roaming
- Your GSM phone assumes the characteristics of the wireless network in each country you visit. So if you are traveling in Italy, your phone will work like a local Italian wireless device.
- Upon arrival, you should learn how to make local calls in the country visited.
- While roaming outside the U.S., be sure to make all international calls using the international format (+, country code, number). For example, to place an international call back to the United States, dial +1, then the area code and number (the U.S. country code is "1"). In most GSM devices, holding down the 0 key will cause the + sign to appear.
- The 911 emergency number is unique to the U.S. In many European countries, the emergency number for police, fire, or ambulance is 112. Outside Europe, emergency numbers will vary by country.
- When you are abroad and turn on your wireless phone, it will automatically search for a wireless network. Registration usually occurs within 30-40 seconds. When the name or network number of the local operator is displayed, your phone should be ready to use.
- Like any other appliance, you will need a universal phone charger and plug adapters for the countries you are visiting.
- In some countries, using a wireless phone while driving is prohibited. Contact the local tourist information office for regulations that may apply.
- If you have problems or questions while roaming outside the U.S., contact AT&T by calling +1-916-843-4685 (a free call from your wireless phone).

National Barbecue Month: Summertime and the Grill'n is Easy!
Outdoor cooking remains more popular and easier than ever. In fact, the majority of Americans claim that some elements of cooking outdoors are even easier than cooking indoors (81%) and that they prefer cooking out over eating out to save money (71%), according to HPBA National Barbecue Month (NBM) Poll results.
Outdoor cooking is a very popular pastime that unites friends and family with great tasting food that's easy and affordable. Sixty-four percent of adults agree, reporting that a barbecue is a better way to spend quality-time with their friends or relatives. And more than a third (36%) of adults associate barbecues with family tradition, according to the NBM Poll.
That's why May is National Barbecue Month - there's no better way to celebrate than taking it outdoors for a cookout with friends or family!
According to poll results, it's no secret that Americans see grilling and outdoor cooking as the ticket to an easy, delicious meal and a healthier lifestyle:
- Easy Does it. Eighty-one percent of Americans report that at least one aspect of grilling outside is easier than cooking indoors. The most convenient parts are cited as cleanup (49%) followed by the cooking process itself (40%).
- Cooking Out Trumps Eating Out. The majority of adults (58%) agree that cooking out is more fun and relaxing than dining out and beneficial for avoiding travel (58%), dress codes (57%) and crowds (56%).
- Healthier Choice. Seventy percent of Americans say cooking out gets them in a healthier routine, specifically by encouraging time spent outdoors instead of cooped up in the house. Outdoor cooking also encourages adults to make smarter food choices such as eating fresh rather than frozen foods (54% agreed) and cooking healthier food on the grill overall (40% agreed).
- Got-to-have Gadgets. Accessories make already-convenient outdoor cooking even easier. When it comes to the go-to tools, Americans report top usage of:
- tongs (77%),
- spatula or brush (65%),
- rubs and marinades (62%),
- skewers (37%), and
- baskets (20%).
Outdoor Cooking Goes Social
Social media is growing as the preferred way to get the cookout word out. Nearly a quarter of Americans (23%) identified social media as the easiest way to invite friends and family to a barbecue.
This marks a 22% increase in consumer preference for social media invitations since 2009 (up from 1% two years ago), according to HPBA's year-to-year national data comparisons.

About the Poll: The findings are taken from a survey of 1,000 people, conducted by the Polling Company™, Inc. from March 31 - April 3, 2011. The margin of error is +/- 3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.

Topic: HTML stripping
Hi All,
I've had to write a bit of code to strip out html between a pre-defined set of html comments in my CMS.
For instance ...
<html> hello <--!start_strip-->strip this<--!stop_strip--> world </html>
should only return <html> hello world </html>
My rather mundane existing code works but only for one occurrence of the tags and I'm in danger of releasing some very poor and inefficient code.
Does anyone have a better solution, could a regexp do it?

Within the Communication Studies major, students may elect one of four separate tracks:
- Communication
- Advertising
- Theatre
- Theatre-business
Because the four tracks offered in the Communication Studies program have similarities as well as some significant differences, student learning outcomes may vary depending upon the track a student selects.
The following three student learning outcomes provide broad-based goals for all four tracks in the degree program.
- Students will communicate effectively in speaking and writing. Those who major in one of the communication tracks will become proficient delivering public presentations, working in group situations, interacting interpersonally, or performing in a dramatic venue. Students will also learn to write effectively for a variety of purposes and audiences.
- Students will think logically and critically. Communication students should be proficient in the following: developing problem-solving approaches, conducting research, analyzing evidence and sources of evidence, distinguishing between sound and fallacious reasoning, analyzing and evaluating elements and effects of the mass media, understanding and evaluating literature for performance situations.
- Students will possess an in-depth knowledge of the field of communication. This will include major theoretical foundations in communication, advertising, or theatre. Students will also be able to utilize such information in practical applications of the theories and concepts.
The mission of the Department of Communication Studies is to produce student learning and to advance knowledge about human communication from both a humanistic and social scientific perspective. The Department will provide a challenging, innovative, and supportive environment that will facilitate students' intellectual growth. This includes students' communication (both oral and written), research, and critical thinking skills across an array of contexts. The Department will serve the university, the community, and the discipline.
The Department of Communication Studies is located in Knobview Hall on the campus of Indiana University Southeast in New Albany, Indiana.
For more information about our program, please call (812) 941-2342. The Administrative Assistants for the School of Arts and Letters - Juli Crecelius and Sabrina Haas - will be happy to assist you or direct your call to one of our full-time faculty members.

We have transaction support with InnoDB, but MyISAM is often referred to as faster.

Topic: Can we distinguish between resolved and un-resolved posts?
I'm a relatively recent Ruby convert and I'm struggling with my first major project. It's hard moving from a language where everyone comes to me for help to moving to a language where I'm the one asking questions. I've bought, and been studying, some excellent books: 'Beginning Ruby', 'Ruby on Rails', 'Advanced Rails Recipes' but I've been stuck on a particular problem for the past week.
I've posted my problem twice now in the 'Controllers and Views' forum but I still can't resolve my question. Don't get me wrong: in both cases I've been grateful to receive replies, but they haven't yet helped me solve the problem.
My suggestion is this: could a feature be added that allows you to indicate that your concern has been closed? This way it would be open if a post is still open. Or failing this, could a feature that allows you to quickly re-post a concern be added?
I have posted my concern twice now because it seems that people assume that if a post has been replied to then it's been resolved, so they stop contributing.
Please don't take this as criticism of what is an excellent forum: I'm just wondering if it can be made even better!

This might be in another topic...if so, forgive b/c there is SO much to read.
******i may be way off base to bring this up as a topic, but it struck me as circumlocution/circumvention******
I don't feel like typing all of the direct quotes, so if you didn't listen, please don't react or respond.
After listening to the various african american hosts/guests on 850knr on friday, a common theme developed from them. Screamin a smith came on around 3-4 and said (besides the fact that he all "told us about this 2 years ago x 5") he didn't agree with how gilbert reacted. He then used gilbert's letter as a springboard to basically say that gilbert was swiping at lebron's mom, along with insinuating the letter having racist overtones.
Then, later that day on the evening show (sounded like lecharles and some other african american dude) they also disagreed with what gilbert said, shading (totally no pun intended) his words to make it a racist attack.
I think that its really sad to attempt to eviscerate gilbert's letter on the basis of racism, as it is not evident in any part of the letter. It seems like a futile attempt on the aforementioned guest/host to defend lebron's decision (which also was not based on race)
I see none of that in gilbert's letter, and i really don't see how that perspective would be obtained objectively by reading the said letter.
anyone want to help me out....
For those of you that listened to it, why would this even be brought up?
