Jersey City Library Receives $1,500...
Jersey City Library Receives $1,500 as part of the NJ State Library Distribution ofBristol-Myers-Squibb Anti-Trust Settlement Grant
JERSEY CITY, N.J. October 11, 2013 – Who wouldn't like an additional $1,500 to spend?
The Jersey City Free Public Library found itself in that position when fielding a request by the
New Jersey State Library to apply for the settlement funds from the Bristol-Myers-Squibb anti-trust lawsuit.
According to Deputy State Librarian Kathleen Moeller-Peiffer of the New Jersey State Library, "These funds became available based upon a settlement reached by numerous State Attorneys General against Bristol-Myers-Squibb. A cash settlement was made to the State of New Jersey in the amount of $157,690.81. After consultation with the New Jersey State Library, the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice submitted a proposed New Jersey distribution plan, which was approved by the Court and which provides that program to eligible public libraries for the purchase of books or other durable materials relating to the treatment, diagnosis and greater understanding of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, Kaposi's Sarcoma and non-small cell lung cancer.
"All New Jersey public libraries that submitted the most recent Public Library Annual Report and that submitted a report for the previous two grant settlements are eligible for these funds, which will be distributed on a pro rata population basis," continued Ms. Moeller-Peiffer.
"We purchased a total of 94 books from 18 titles covering the targeted subjects," said Chief Librarian Hussein Odeh, who handled the pharmaceutical company's anti-trust settlement funds grant application for the Jersey City library. "Aside from ordering multiple copies for our nine branches, Main Library and the Bookmobile, we actually spent a little of our own money (slightly over $100, additionally) to purchase books that were irresistible titles to add, and others in Spanish that are available in Biblioteca Criolla."
"Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are pleased to offer new books with current scientific information on breast and other types of cancer," added Library Director Priscilla Gardner.
Since 1972, Jersey City's Biblioteca Criolla is the only entity within a public library system in New Jersey dedicated exclusively to Spanish works, whether print or recorded, and in presenting Latino culture from all Spanish nationalities.
For the latest on programs, events, and special announcements please follow the Library on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jersey-City-Free-Public-Library/121162594579991), Twitter (JCFPL_NJ) or Pinterest (www.pinterest.com/jerseycityPL) at Jersey City Free Public Library. Visit us on the web at www.jclibrary.org for all information on the Library, including all press releases in The Press Room. As of today, October 11, 2013, the Jersey City Free Public Library has 233,730 valid card members.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by MegaMagick, Sep 23, 2012.
Philly down 10-0 to arizona who if they win will be 3-0 to start.
A lot of crazy OT games.
***? SAINTS win?
Guy was down.
KC with FIVE HUNDRED total yards? Charles with 200 total yards?
What the hell, N.O has the worst D in the league.
I'm in NO right now on business, and I think people are going to be jumping off the Huey Long Bridge if they blow this one......which they just did.
This is crazy go from one OT FG to another.
Come on Miami, win this!
Of course he's on my fantasy bench this week...
Jets have this.
Saints with an epic collapse. Up 24-6 at one point and lose in overtime. Scramble the police to watch for jumpers on every bridge and tall building in New Orleans.
Joe Philbin trying to ice a kicker from 33?
Folk missed winning field goal but dumb Miami coach called time out. Folk hits second try for the win.
Why the hell do you even try to ice the kicker from that distance? 40+ i can understand, but i'm sure no kicker is even sweating from 30 yds out.
Saints are tanking, they cant be so bad.
Arizona is really good, very surprised with their start of the season.
Namdi still sucks.
am i the only on who thinks Philly will come back to win this game?
Arizona up 17 nothing, will there be two out of the NFC West this year? :laugh2:
Arizona is at least putting points on the board, Ravens and Browns were just as bad as the eagles the last two weeks.
The AZ defense comes to HIT.
There have been some horrendously bad calls by the Officials in the few games I have looked at.


text: I have a Pierce Master model II uncapping knife which I have used for quite a few years. It seems the thermostat no longer is functioning reliably and the knife over heats. I tried adjusting the little set screw on top but it still over heats. Is there any way to replace the theromstat? I've read where some beeks rig up a rheostat which you plug the knife into. What sort of rheostat would I buy and where could I get it? Would a wall dimmer rheostat work? Thanks

Teacher Education Program
The Teacher Education Program at Pulaski Technical College serves as the launching point for students that are interested in becoming classroom teachers.
The goal of the Teacher Education Program is to prepare students for the teaching profession, to help students identify the area in which they may wish to teach, and to provide the successful transfer and seamless entry into the Teacher Education Program at a four-year institution. The Teacher Education Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals interested in transferring to a four-year university to complete requirements for a teaching license to work with students in the public school setting.
Students must earn a grade of a C or better in each course, have a 2.75 grade point average and successfully pass all three components of the Praxis Core for Educators Tests to satisfy requirements for the Associate of Arts Teaching degree. Passage of the Praxis core examination is required for entry into a college of education at a four-year institution.

Re: Sliced bread !
I do buy sliced bread. But not really often. And I don't eat it without any sandwich spread. I like it best with cheese spread and then paired it a with fresh orange juice. yum yum

Re: Sliced bread !
I don't buy the sliced, mass-produced bread from the supermarket. I once read an essay that referred to that stuff as "solidified bubble bath," which I thought was perfect.
I usually buy my bread at local bakeries, where you get same-day loaves. However, all of the places where I shop have slicers. If I know that I'm apt to want several single slices, they'll run it through the slicer at no charge. I have purchased crusty artisan breads at supermarkets, and taken the loaf to the deli area for slicing. I don't know how thrilled they are to have me ask, but I've never been refused. If it becomes a common practice, stores may start to kick up a fuss about it.
As for Koukouvagia's comments about the sugar in bread, I know just what he/she means. Yes, sugar is necessary to react with the yeast. But, in the US the large bread manufacturers have been making their products sweeter, and sweeter, to the palate. It's terrible when you're looking forward to a nice savory sandwich -- and the bread is sweet. That's another reason I quit buying it.
Along with the reactionary sugar for the yeast, companies are including high-fructose-corn-sugar, which is wholly unnecessary, but found in a wide array of foods. When you read the ingredient list, it's not unusual to find multiple sweeteners in one loaf ... HFCS, molasses/treacle, honey, brown sugar and/or an extra dose of sugar.
I've found that bakery bread, on a "sometimes sliced" basis, is the way to go.

The other day as I was getting ready for work I threw on the first thing I could lay my hands on, which is pretty much the only way I know how to dress these days. That morning, my hands happened to land on a pair of black jeans, a black sweater, and a black leather jacket. I caught a glimpse in the mirror on my way out the door and exclaimed to my quiet empty house, "great, now I look like Neil Gaiman."
Unlike Gaiman (or Johnny Cash), my "man in black" look screams desperate surrender more than it does sorrowful artist. Nevertheless, it made me realize that Gaiman is probably one of the very few writers who's persona has become nearly as famous as his words, which is to say very. With his 1.7 million Twitter followers and countless best sellers, it seems frivolous to celebrate Gaiman's birthday with a mere list of his exploits. Does anyone not know who Gaiman is? I suppose I should acknowledge that a few years ago, even I didn't know who Gaiman was.

Food poisoning, your body gives you some signs for sure. Other people's food has done me 3 times in my life. Someone died recently in Devon from eating a death cap mushroom. Hygiene it's something we all need to be aware of. My workplace got the maximum 5 stars as always from Health and Hygiene. The same rules apply in the home.

What with Android, iOS, Blackberry and Windows Phone all fighting tooth and nail for a piece of the mobile operating system pie, you'd have to be mad to think there was room for a fifth, all-powerful contender, wouldn't you?
Apparently not, or at least not if your name happens to be Samsung or NTT Docomo, or any one of half a dozen telecommunications giants throwing their weight behind a new OS called Tizen.
Just like Android, Tizen is derived from Linux and its development is being pushed chiefly by Samsung, Intel and the Linux Foundation as a genuine, open-source alternative to those operating systems mentioned above. It's actually been around since January 1st of last year, although its initial release largely went under the radar at the time as very few devices have adopted it.
That's all likely to change in the next few months though, with reports from Japan suggesting that Samsung has teamed up with NTT Docomo to release the first ever smartphone running the Tizen OS to Japanese customers sometime in 2013.
The report, published by Yomiuri, suggests that both Samsung and Docomo's share concerns over the dominance of Android and iOS, which currently control about 90% of the mobile market. Apparently, it's not just Asian companies that are worried about this US dominance either – European carriers such as France Telecom and the UK's Vodafone have both shown a lot of interest in the Tizen project.
Tizen's community proclaims that their OS is the first 'true' open source operating system, unlike Apple's iOS and even Android. Google's OS, which is generally thought of as being open source, is in fact only partially open – the underlying platform cannot be significantly changed, and so carriers cannot offer their own services with it.
On the other hand, Tizen is 100% open source, which means that the blueprints of the underlying technology will be made available to all so carriers and service providers can modify things to offer their own services. For example, Docomo would be able to offer its online shopping services on any phone built on Tizen. Another advantage of Tizen is that it isn't restricted to just smartphones and tablets. As well as these devices, it can also be run on Smart TVs, PCs, notebooks, GPS devices and in-car infotainment systems.
For NTT Docomo, the prospect of being a major partner in the alternative OS is particularly tempting, considering that it's the only major telecommunications firm in Japan that doesn't sell the iPhone. This has become a major problem for Japan's biggest carrier, which has seen its new subscribers fall to a five year low as a result – obviously, it will be pinning its hopes on Tizen being able to win back all of those customers it has lost.
Meanwhile it would seem that Samsung is interested in regaining control of its mobile OS environment, despite generally being viewed as Google's "partner" when it comes to Android. While it would be a shock is Samsung threw its full weight behind Tizen now, the Korean firm has never been 100% committed to Android, having previously used its own OS "Bada", and more recently, developed products running Windows 8.
What with Google rumored to be bringing out a flagship Motorola phone later this year, it's pretty clear than neither they nor Samsung have much trust in each other, hence both companies look to be hedging their bets. For now, Samsung will likely stick with Android for its newest, high-end phones (like the Galaxy SIII), but if Tizen takes off as a genuine alternative that may not always be the case…

What are feeder pigs?
What are feeder pigs?
Home of the ventilated and sting resistant Ultra Breeze bee suits and jackets
Little pigs you feed and then eat. Usually 35-100 pounds or so.
hmmmmmm to feed really big snakes
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill
Home of the ventilated and sting resistant Ultra Breeze bee suits and jackets
Suckling pig are very, very young. And only
about 10 to 20 pounds or so. Mmmmmmmmmmmm
tasty with a nice sage stuffing.
Closing in on retirement.......
Most people wean piglets in two to four weeks to get the sow turned around faster as she won't breed back with pigs still suckling. If you can find someone willing to leave them on the sow, you can have suckling pig at forty or fifty lbs.
Feeder pigs make up about a fourth of the hog market in the U.S. The pigs are raised in a feeder pig facility, and then sent to auction or otherwise sold for finishing to market size. They are usually about 35-40 lbs at eight weeks of age. Feeder pigs raising is a primarily specialized type of operation, because commingling of various ages of hogs can increase the risk of disease. Young pigs are very prone to disease, so they are raised with strict aseptic control and proper diet.
Pigs weighing from 40-125 pounds are referred as "growing pigs", and from 125 to about 230 pounds (market weight) are called "finishing pigs."
And here is where I put all the above pigs!
That's one mighty fine setup Ruben!!! Did you build it??
Closing in on retirement.......
Yea, I built it last winter. It took me six months to complete. 1000's of hours of designing and fabricating. Turned out pretty good considering I had zero experience welding and working with metal. I have a friend with a body shop and he let me use a plasma cutter and when I was done he painted it with 1300 degree paint and then baked it on in his baking booth.
It is 16ft long, 3500lb dextar axle w/brakes, 4 1/2ft cook chamber with 18 sq ft of cook space, two slide out meat racks. It is 24" dia 3/8 thick wall. Firebox is 2ft x 24" dia. with a warming rack on top. There is one hi pressure 180,000 btu gas burner and one 60,000 btu low pressure burner mounted on the front deck with the sink in front of that. 22 gallon water storage tank and pump mounted under the deck. On the back side is a 21"w x 4' l x 18"d wood storage box that doubles as a 1000 sq inch grill. To finish it off I added a 20ft telescoping flag pole so when I'm bbq'n I can fly old glory! Took her to the KCBS Va State BBQ Championships and lucked out winning a 10th place award in pulled pork in our first competition. Here is a link to all the pic's start to finish http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e331/Ruben111/BBQ/
That is some rig. Makes me hungry just looking at it.

The demand for military transport aircraft and aerial tankers in the Middle East and North Africa during the next 10 years is expected to create a potential market for an estimated 117 new aircraft, with the primary category being light/medium airlifters in the class of Airbus Military's twin-engine CN235 and C295.
These new aircraft will need to meet evolving mission needs, fulfilling increasingly broad applications that range from the control of illegal immigration, anti-piracy patrols and multinational peacekeeping duties to the identification of drug traffic, monitoring of oil spills, and humanitarian transportation.
Airbus Military's market forecast -- which was outlined at this week's Dubai Airshow --anticipates the acquisition of 61 light and medium transports by Middle East and North Africa customers during the next 10 years, according to Gustavo García Miranda, the company's Airbus Military Vice President - Market Development.
Heavy transports in the category of Airbus Military's A400M are expected to account for the sales of an estimated 40 aircraft in the coming decade, while the aerial tanker segment -- in which Airbus Military offers the A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport -- could generate orders for of some 16 aircraft during the 10-year period.
Airbus Military already has an established presence in the Middle East and North Africa, with eight customers in the region: Algeria (six C295s), Egypt (three C295s), Jordan (two C295s and four C212s), Morocco (seven CN235s), Oman (two CN235s), Saudi Arabia (six A330 MRTTs, and four CN235s), the United Arab Emirates (three A330 MRTTs, seven CN235s and four C212s), and Yemen (one CN235).

One after another, some of our favorite leading ladies strutted down the catwalk at The Heart Truth's Red Dress Fashion Show on Feb. 6. The Hammerstein Ballroom was radiating red, as each model donned a red-toned dress to raise awareness about heart disease. We thought sporting such a bold look might be a little over the top, but each of these starlets made a sexy statement in the bright color.
Kelly Osbourne, 28, paired her purple hair with a sweetheart cut gown by Zac Posen. She finished off the glam look with a pop of red lipstick and a red Heart Truth clutch. Kel looked like a rock star as her curvy figure strutted down the aisle with a sexy scowl imprinted on her face.
The Jenner ladies looked like modern-day Charlie's Angels…but hotter. Kendall, 17, Kylie, 15, and Kris, 57, posed side-by-side in their scarlet Badgley Mischka column gowns. The tempting trio's jet-black hair created a gleaming contrast against the brilliant red. We love that Kris donned a more sophisticated, long-sleeved dress, while her daughters' stuck to younger, flirty looks!
17-year-old Gabby Douglas, stunned the audience when she made her appearance on the stage. This young beauty's fishtail gown by Pamella Roland clung perfectly to her athletic build. Gabby looked so comfortable in the evening wear, you'd think she had been modeling her whole life. I wonder if all those years on the balance beam helped perfect her catwalk!
Minka Kelly, 32, appeared on the runway in the form of a Greek goddess. She looked radiant in an orange-toned chiffon Oscar de la Renta gown. The dramatic slit allowed Minka to show off her sun kissed legs, adding some sex appeal to the blazing piece. Her gold belt and strappy heels beamed in the spotlight.
So, what do YOU think? Which one of these hot mamas looked the most roaring in red? VOTE on your fave look and leave a comment below!

Frederick Douglass once noted, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men."
The statement is simple, profound and as true as truth can be. And yet we as a society and as individual families neglect the building, facilitate the breaking and balk at the cost and commitment of the repair.

Seriously getting to my wit's end with my Y560 - every so often (often enough that it's getting to be quite a nuisance) the mouse cursor suddenly gets really big and pixelated. I have replaced all the drivers with the latest ones from Lenovo's website, and have had no luck, the problem keeps happening. This problem does not occur in attached displays, only my main LCD, and switching resolutions gives a temporary fix, but after a while it inevitably happens again.
Solved! Go to Solution.
06-21-2010 07:32 AM - edited 06-21-2010 07:37 AM
I had it just now.
For the first time.
My solution was suspend the computer and turn it on again.
So strange... so strange.
It's an ATI issue:
The desktop mouse cursor issue (becoming enlarged at random when using Windows 7) has been fixed
But I don't know how to get a newer version of the ATI CCC.
I have this software version:
Versión del paquete de controladores 8.702.5-100505a-100064C-Lenovo Proveedor ATI Technologies Inc. Versión de controlador 2D 8.01.01.1004 Ruta de archivo de controlador 2D /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLA
SS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000 Versión de Direct3D 8.14.10.0728 Versión de OpenGL 188.8.131.5251 Versión de Catalyst™ Control Center 2010.0505.2241.38914
Sh*t, now start happen all the time!
It's terrible!
All start after a normal suspend.

OK, I have found that this issue is because of the ATI card.
Chech this out:
There are 1000 of post about this matter.
What I found is that ATI made a hotfix:
But the file is so old that it doesn't exist anymore.
So, any ideas how to install a newer version of the ATI drivers?, I mean downloading from ATI:
Also, here is a sample of the problem:
I had to take a picture with my camera, because the "PrintScreen" doesn't capture the big mouse... capture a regular nice mouse pointer.
Another thing, is that the pointer also change aspect... watch the third screen capture compared to the second.
And is not an Accesibility setting issue. Check the next screen shot:
Moderator note; picture(s) totalling >50K converted to link(s) Forum Rules
Good news.
If you install the driver on this package:
You will get the driver version:
DriverVer=05/27/2010, 8.741.0.0000
Insted of:
DriverVer=05/05/2010, 8.702.5.0000
Which is the driver you get from:
And with that driver version the big mouse problem is gone.
But you cannot install the ATI Catalyst.
So, any ideas how to install the ATI Catalyst and get everything going?
I have the y460 and i dont have that problem. Is the problem only with the y560? or maybe im not using the ati graphics card much...
You would have to wait for lenovo to update it....
I just got my Y560 and I have this problem with the cursor. It's odd that the only ATI Catalyst Suite that can be installed is the Lenovo one. Even installing the mobility version from the AMD website fails to install the Catalyst Control Center.
I tried installing that driver update, but I still got the big cursor.
In my case, the issue only happend after I do a "suspend".
Also, I was not able to install the Catalyst... just the video driver.
I had this same annoying bug. After a lot of search I read somewhere about a workaround; by enabling cursor trails in the pointer options. (I hate cursor trails myself so i turned it all the way down.) I did that and have not have had the big cursor again after 3 sleep/hibernate. I also uninstalled the catalyst control center leaving the driver. I did both almost same time so I am not sure which worked for me. You can uninstall only the catalyst control center but choosing custom during process.
Hope this helps

Yes, you are right the "mouse trails" solves the problem.
But I hate it!
BTW, I only did the mouse trail... so the "only driver" instalation... is not the solution.

Friday, September 21
Prof. R. William Liddle, Political Science, The Ohio State University
Lecture title: Indonesian Democracy: From Transition to Consolidation
Scholars in comparative politics distinguish between democratic transitions and consolidations. In the Indonesian case, most scholars agree that the transition occurred between 1998 and 2004. Despite a preponderance of evidence that democracy has now consolidated, both behaviorally and attitudinally, there are reasons to conclude tentatively. These include: some victories by anti-democratic forces; the dependence of popular support for democracy on popular evaluations of governmental policy performance; slower GDP growth than during the New Order; unstabilized electoral and legislative-executive systems; weak rule of law institutions; and a high level of state intervention in the economy. Professor R. William Liddle specializes in Indonesian, Southeast Asian, Islamic and developing world politics. He is currently conducting research on Indonesian voting behavior and developing a theory of political agency. His publications include: Ethnicity, Party, and National Integration, Politics and Culture in Indonesia, Political Entrepreneurs and Development Strategies: Southeast Asian Cases and Comparisons, and Leadership and Culture in Indonesian Politics. He has been chair of the Southeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies, and Southeast Asia editor of the association's Journal of Asian Studies.

Prof. Katharine Wiegele, Anthropology, Northern Illinois University
Lecture title: Reshaping Philippine Civic Spaces: Charismatic Renewal in Politics, Gender and Citizenship
Over the past few decades, Pentecostal-charismatic Christianity has arguably become the fastest growing religious movement in the world, and some say the largest self-organized movement of the urban poor. Wiegele's research is part of a global study of renewalism and the politics of citizenship, supported by the Institute on Culture, Religion, and World Affairs (CURA) at Boston University. It deals with charismatic organizations in the Philippines and the upsurge in renewalist groups in the country, and the implications for civic engagement. It examines recent developmental tensions that have arisen as the movement increasingly becomes more involved in national policy debates on population control and poverty.
Friday, October 5 - No Lecture - Burma Studies Conference
* 8:30 PM, Sandburg Auditorium, Holmes Student Center - Film Festival: They Call It Myanmar: Lifting the Curtain, presented by Robert Lieberman
* Open to the Public *
Friday, October 12
Prof. Kenton Clymer, History, Northern Illinois University
Lecture title: The United States and Burma's Ne Win, 1948-1970
Ne Win, one of Burma's independence leaders, served as commander of the armed forces and as Minister of Defense. In 1958 he took over the government in a "soft coup," and after eighteen months returned the country to civilian rule. In 1962 he again took over, this time in a hard coup, and established a military dictatorship that has been in place until very recently. This talk will explore American attitudes about, and relations with, Ne Win from 1948 to 1970, focusing on the two coups and the aftermath. Clymer will examine, and try to explain, the change in Ne Win's own attitudes, from being friendly toward the United States to being a bitter opponent. CSEAS associate Kenton Clymer is a Presidential Research Professor in the Department of History, where he teaches courses in the history of American foreign relations. He returns to NIU this semester after a year as a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. During that time, he traveled to Burma/Myanmar to conduct research for a forthcoming history of U.S. relations with Burma.
Friday, October 19
Prof. Catherine Raymond, Art History and Director, Center for Burma Studies, Prof. John Hartmann, Distinguished Teaching Professor and Board of Trustees Professor, Foreign Languages and Literatures and Alan Potkin, PhD, Northern Illinois University
Lecture Title: Wat Pathumwanaram: A Lao Cultural Transplant in Bangkok's Siam Square
Raymond, Hartmann and Potkin, all of whom have spent significant time in Thailand and Laos, offer their individual perspectives on a third-degree royal monastery in what is now an upscale Bangkok shopping district. Commissioned by King Mongkut, r. 1851–1868, the monasteryis noted for its major murals illustrating the Sri Thanonchai, trickster tales found throughout Buddhist Southeast Asia, rather than depictions of the life of the Buddha as is traditional practice. Raymond will examine the Pathum murals in light of the monastery's original bronze Buddha images, all of which were cast in Vientiane, Laos. Hartmann will discuss the subject of Lao dominance from the outset of Wat Pathum and the possible motivations of Mongkut's choice of the trickster tales for the interior murals. Potkin will present his panoramic digital imaging of the murals. CSEAS associate Catherine Raymond is a professor of art history in School of Art and director of the Center for Burma Studies. Associate John Hartmann is a Board of Trustees Professor who teaches Thai language and culture in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. CSEAS adjunct Alan Potkin is an independent scholar.
Friday, October 26
Prof. Michael Buehler, Political Science and Ronnie Nataatmadja, PhD candidate, Political Science, Northern Illinois University
Lecture title: Vote-Seeking and Voting Behavior in an Open-Party List System: Comparing Indonesia's 2004 and 2009 Legislative Elections
Party systems in which candidates are required to compete against co-partisans have been associated with more expensive campaigns and fierce intra-party rivalries. However, the existing literature does not address whether these dynamics actually affect voting behavior. An analysis of Indonesia, where a closed-list system was replaced with an open-list party system between 1999 and 2009, shows that increased campaign spending and intra-party rivalries do not seem to have changed citizens' voting behavior. The selection and ranking of candidates through party leaders prior to elections are the main reason for incumbency defeat. Hence, party internal dynamics and not citizens are the main force behind elite-turnover in the world's third largest democracy. CSEAS associate Michael Buehler is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science. Ronnie Nataatmadja is a PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science.
Friday, November 2
Risa J. Toha, PhD, Indonesia Research Fellow, Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
Lecture title: Explaining Violent Conflicts in Transitioning Indonesia
Why did ethnic riots erupt in certain parts of Indonesia but not others in late 1990s and early 2000s? While explanations for riots in existing literature abound, most have focused on national-level factors and cross-country comparisons, and have not examined local dynamics. Drawing upon both original and available data of violence in districts from 1990 through 2005, and interviews in Central Sulawesi, Maluku, and West Kalimantan, Toha argues that exclusion from local political office motivates disgruntled local elites to mobilize ethnic loyalties and engender clashes between groups. Risa J. Toha holds a PhD in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her dissertation, "Ethnic Riots in Democratic Transition: A Lesson from Indonesia," examined districts in Indonesia from 1990 through 2005 and identified the role of local political exclusion in accounting for riots in the late 1990s and early 2000s in Indonesia. She previously worked for the Social Development Unit at the World Bank office in Jakarta, Indonesia. As a post-doctoral Indonesian Research Fellow, Toha examines the relationship between regional autonomy, political representation, and public goods provision in districts in post-Soeharto Indonesia.
Friday, November 9
Prof. Craig Etcheson, Visiting Fellow, Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Northern Illinois University
Lecture title: Genocide Justice? Challenges Facing the Khmer Rouge Tribunal
The Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia—better known as the Khmer Rouge Tribunal (KRT) —has been a source of controversy since well before it commenced operations in 2006. Now in its seventh year of proceedings, the KRT is facing a variety of inter related challenges which threaten to compromise the completion of its underlying mission. Donor fatigue, allegations of government interference and other issues may interact to bring the court to a close before it is able to reach finality on the substance of the allegations against the accused persons. Etcheson will review these issues and assess their possible impacts on the legacy of the Extraordinary Chambers. Dr. Craig Etcheson specializes in post-conflict recovery of societies shattered by violence, with a particular interest in transitional justice issues. His most recent assignment was as an investigator in the Office of Co-Prosecutors at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia. He has served as a faculty member at the University of Southern California and Yale University, and has been a visiting scholar at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and George Washington University's Sigur Center.

Rating: 4/5
So Loizos Michaels finally went down. Eight years on 24 counts of causing loss by deception and six of obtaining by deception. He scammed about $3 million by convincing various people, including casino executives, that he was a wealthy businessman.
I'm not trying to be smart, but he never fooled me. Michaels, you will remember, was the man behind the unlamented Plato's Greek Taverna in Ponsonby Rd. Plato's wasn't a taverna. It was also not Greek, as my Greek mate Dimitri confirmed when we tried it.
It stocked no Greek beer or wine (its only retsina was made in Adelaide) and there was not a single dish on the menu that Dimitri recognised as Greek. When he pointed this out, the maitre d' told us it was hard to get "Greek ingredients" in New Zealand: we assumed he was meaning stuff like lamb, fish, eggplant, tomato, olives and feta cheese.
Dimitri and I knew Michaels was a fraud long before the Serious Fraud Office had even heard his name. Dimitri has a good sense of these things which is why when he said that good reports had reached him of the restaurant at the Mahurangi River Winery, I suggested a lunch and we gathered up a small group.
Established in the late 90s, the vineyard is splendidly sited: rows of vines run across the undulating north-facing slopes and at the top is the restaurant in a building that also houses the small-output winery.
The building won an architecture award, which was presumably bestowed by judges who didn't stop for lunch. If they had, they would have noticed that when you're sitting down inside, you can see nothing at all of the ravishing view. In my book, that's a colossal architectural blunder.
But that's the only grumble I need to get out of the way before reporting on some pretty impressive food and service. Chef Kahui Cassidy worked under Gaetano Francelle at nearby Plume and his food here is very reminiscent of what came out of Plume's kitchen: stylish but simple and quite free of pretension or unnecessary artifice.
As much as possible, he sources local produce - the fish is from Leigh, the oysters are from Mahurangi, of course - and, pleasingly, the winery's own labels sell at the table for the cellar-door price (their 2010 Field of Grace chardonnay, at $39, was a treat).
I ordered a couple of $12 nibble plates of Cassidy's own excellent fresh-baked bread, some lovely soft goat cheese, confit garlic cloves and a wickedly treacly balsamic reduction. Nobody else had wanted an entree and my main purpose was to distract them from the salmon carpaccio I had ordered for myself.
But in that regard I was out of luck. Everybody swarmed over the thick slices of salmon (cold-smoked in-house) and the accompanying scallops, which tasted cured rather than cooked and were a perfect match. I eventually had to pull rank and claim that professional duty compelled me to eat more of it than anyone else. No one looked convinced.
Two of our number were in a breakfast frame of mind and were much impressed with potato hash cake, spinach and mushroom topped with poached eggs done precisely as they had requested.
The Professor, in a jarring break with her pescetarian preferences, asked for the lamb loin, which was livened with a bright-green pea puree. It was a shade past the requisite medium-rare and could have done with some more seasoning, although the thick syrah jus helped, but the snapper fillets on a creamy fennel risotto were absolutely perfect.
Perhaps the most notable dish was the platter that the remaining member of our party ordered. The very word "platter" sends a chill up my spine, since it usually means that some kitchenhand has taken stuff out of packets, jars and tubes and stuck it on a plate for a 400 per cent markup.
Cassidy's included some more of that salmon; superbly tender salt-and-pepper squid; superb cheeses; prosciutto and grace notes of olives and caperberries, with bread. At only $25, it would be splendid light lunch for two with a couple of glasses of wine. We all pitched in to help Liz finish it, but failed; the large version at $45 must be truly intimidating.
Thus stuffed, none of us could manage dessert but settled for a civilised afternoon snooze. This place deserves a visit, believe me.
Verdict: Good food, fabulous views - though not at the same time.

Accident on I-25 involving juveniles
Speed may be a factor
Pueblo, Colo - An accident on I-25 at the Ilex exit shut down a portion of the highway for about three hours. There were four juveniles in the car and police say at least three were ejected.
It happened around 4:20 p.m. A 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse was traveling northbound in the 300 block of South I-25 near the Ilex interchange when the vehicle lost control. The two females and at least one of the males were ejected from the vehicle. Officers were unable to determine at the scene if the second male was also ejected. The two females sustained serious injuries while the males sustained minor injuries. All parties were transported to Parkview Hospital for treatment.
The investigation into this accident is ongoing, but speed is believed to be a factor. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected.
When the first accident occurred, the driver of a Ford truck traveling in the southbound lanes reacted to the accident by losing control and striking the barrier. The 60 year old male driver and only occupant of the truck was also transported to the hospital for treatment and released.
These two accidents shut down traffic in both north and south bound lanes until about 7:15 this evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Starting the Pathway
Do I need any prior qualifications?
No you do not. Exploring the Past is open to everyone and is designed to give you the skills you need to study successfully at degree level. The only thing to bear in mind is that you need to be fairly competent in speaking, listening, reading and writing in English. If you are not a native English speaker then you need to have scored 6.5 or above on the International English Language Testing System. If you are unsure what this means then just get in touch with the Pathway Co-ordinator for a chat. Other than that, all you need is an enthusiasm for studying the past.
When do Exploring the Past modules run?
The pathway is expressly intended for students who have busy lives and existing commitments such as work, family, or acting as carers. For that reason all modules are taught in the evenings and at weekends to fit around your existing schedule. Have a look at the information on each module for more information on dates and times. Although you will be expected to attend classes regularly – turning up and talking about subjects is half the fun of learning and studying at a higher level – we understand that this is not always possible, and we therefore operate a flexible and supportive approach to learning and teaching.
What if I haven't done any study for a long while?
Don't worry. Exploring the Past does not expect you to come with any prior subject knowledge and it is specifically set up for people who have been out of education for a long time. Experienced tutors will help you to develop your skills and expand your knowledge in a supportive, friendly and fun environment.
How do I enrol on Exploring the Past?
You don't need to enrol on the whole pathway – just sign up for the first module. To do that, you just fill in a short enrolment form which asks you for your details and submit it to Continuing & Professional Education. You can go to our Reception and get a form there, or you can phone up and ask for one to be sent out to you, or you can download and print one out from our website.
Can I do Exploring the Past modules even if I don't want to go onto a degree?
Absolutely! Just sign up for whichever modules you are interested in and enjoy them.
Completing the Pathway
What do I need to do to pass each module?
Each pathway module will contain some kind of assessment – indeed the assessment is just as important as the classes themselves. These will usually take the form of essays, reports, source criticism and data analysis. However on all modules the assessment is broken down into bite-sized chunks and you will receive a lot of support from your tutor to help you do a good job. All assessments are designed to enhance your learning experience; they will hone your skills to enable you to study at a Higher Education level. The assessment process is two-way and will involve one-to-one feedback and guidance from your module tutors. As assessment is integral to all of our modules, we expect that all students enrolling on Exploring the Past modules will participate in assessment. You need to get 40% to pass each piece of work, although you will ideally be getting marks in the 50s and 60s when you go forward for your degree interview.
How much work will each module require?
For each module you will need to undertake a certain amount of personal study over and above the time you spend attending classes. It is difficult to give a precise measure of the amount of time you will need to set aside, as this may vary depending on the individual. However, as a rough rule of thumb you need do between six and eight hours of work each week in addition to your two-hour class. This can include all sorts of things, such as reading and taking notes, doing bits of homework, getting books from the library, and of module working on assignments. In addition, it is up to you how you organise your study so if you have less time one week and more the next week you can just adjust your studying to fit that.
Will all Exploring the Past modules be available every year?
No. Some pathway modules are part of a cycle which is repeated over a number of years. We shall do our best to put on as wide a range of modules as we can, but not all will be available in any one year and all are subject to the usual laws of demand – there are minimum numbers for modules below which they are liable to be cancelled for reasons of cost.
Going onto a Degree
What do I need to do to complete Exploring the Past and go onto a degree?
The pathway is designed with flexibility in mind. You can take any number of modules that you wish to during one academic year (up to a maximum of 60 credits). All we ask is that you complete six modules from a choice of twelve, including at least one of the Group 1 core modules, within no more than three academic years from the date of your first module. However, we do recommend that you take at least one and preferably two modules each year to keep you in the habit of studying. In addition, it may be possible for you to use one module that you have already done from the Continuing & Professional Education programme. The Pathway Co-ordinator will be able to advise you on this. You need to pass all of the six modules that you take to be eligible to go onto a degree in History, Archaeology or Religion. Once you have a few modules under your belt, you will also need to attend a short informal interview with the Admissions Tutor for the degree you want to study. Don't worry though – the Pathway Co-ordinator will make sure that you are fully prepared for this.
What sorts of things will I study when I go onto degree?
Exploring the Past leads onto degrees in History, Archaeology or Religion, or indeed a combination of those subjects. That means that you could go onto to study a wide range of topics ranging from medieval slavery to Egyptian archaeology to Ancient Greek society to the religions of the East. Here's a list of Degrees you could study.
For more information on the modules you might take as part of your degree:
Will Exploring the Past count towards my degree?
Yes it will. Assuming you pass all the modules and are successful at interview, the 60 credits from Exploring the Past will count towards the First Year of your degree. Each First Year consists of 120 credits. That means that by having 60 credits from your pathway already completed, you will go onto your degree with half of the First Year already under your belt.
What financial support is available when I go onto a degree?
There are various sources of financial support available from the government to help you fund your studies once you are actually on a degree. The type and extent of this support depends on whether you intend to study full-time or part-time, and on your own personal financial situation. Don't worry though – once you are enrolled on an Exploring the Past module you will have access to expert advice in the shape of our Student Advisors. They will be able to sit down with you and talk you through all the funding that you might be eligible for when you do progress onto a degree.
What if I already have a degree or other Higher Education qualification?
At the moment this will not affect the cost of taking Exploring the Past modules. It does mean that you cannot apply for fee waivers but you can still apply for bursaries, However, it may mean that you will not be able to apply for funding from the government if you decide to progress onto a degree. If you are unsure about whether your existing qualification counts or would like more information on this then simply contact the Pathway Co-ordinator for a chat.
What if I am interest in a BSc in Archaeological Conservation?
Because of the specialist nature of this degree and the high level of scientific study it includes, you will need an A-Level or equivalent in Chemistry in addition to completing Exploring the Past. If you would like more information on this then please do contact the Pathway Co-ordinator.
Getting in Touch
Who should I contact for advice and guidance?
The Pathway Co-ordinator is Dr Paul Webster. His email address is email@example.com and his telephone number is (029) 2087 5610. Alternatively, contact the Continuing & Professional Education Reception on 029 2087 0000 or email@example.com. You can also follow us on Facebook.

- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 cup canned, mashed pumpkin
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 1/4 cups macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
How to Make It
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well. Combine pumpkin, eggs, and vanilla, stirring well with a wire whisk. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to flour mixture, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. (Mixture will be very crumbly; it will gradually become moist after stirring.)
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add macadamia nuts. Cook, stirring constantly, until nuts are browned. Remove from heat, and cool completely. Knead or gently stir cooled nuts into dough.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface, and divide into 4 portions. Lightly flour hands, and shape each portion into a 1" x 15" log. Place logs 3" apart on lightly greased large cookie sheets.
Bake at 350° for 23 minutes; cool logs 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 300°.
Cut each log crosswise into 1/2" slices, using a serrated knife. Place slices on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 300° for 15 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.

To create a haven in port for their lethal U-boat submarines, the Nazis built massive, impenetrable concrete submarine pens. Structures too immense to be hidden, they were constructed to withstand direct hits from even the biggest Allied bombs. Such was their size and strength that these pens survive today, a testament to their engineering.
In a quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history. KCPT will air the first three episodes of the new six-part series Nazi Mega Weapons this summer. The series recounts Germany's engagement in World War II from a unique perspective, uncovering the engineering secrets of iconic megastructures, telling the stories of the engineers who designed them and revealing how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever. Episodes will air on Wednesdays, July 17-31, at 9:00 P.M. on KCPT.
With rarely seen historic footage, recreations of milestone moments and interviews with history, engineering, and military strategy experts, Nazi Mega Weapons also recounts the strategic triumphs and wartime blunders of the Third Reich.

Excerpt: "So what exactly was Tyler Sash doing on Sundays for the last month?
"Suffering," said Sash, who had to miss the Giants' first four games due to a suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy.
"I'd try to be an encouragement to my teammates, sending them texts, and just trying to stay connected to my teammates and stuff like that, definitely the night before the game. But on Sundays I was sitting at home watching the game and it was tough. I can't just watch a game. I feel like if you're a player, you gotta make all the calls and see what you're doing and make all the adjustments and stuff like that." Read more...
