Too bad FO and Chase didn't agree to terms during the combine. Looks like FO is putting all their faith in a player alredy in the actual roster or they are targeting someone in FA. The notion of the Giants drafting an ILB and starting him right away is just not the way they do thing. That been said if Chase sniffs out FA and doesn't get what his looking for I would be glad to have him back for a reasonable price.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
I doubt there will be FA interest in him

No, But Really: Who's Behind the Barbra Streisand Sample and Phenomenon?
Is there really any doubt that Duck Sauce's Barbra Streisand has become that one song which is universally accepted as a dance floor filler and fist pumper of a ditty, no matter the occasion or situation? No, there's not. And as much as I tire of it, there's really no escaping it, which lead me to do a little digging on the origins of the song, because as well as we all know how talented A-Trak and Armand Van Helden are, we also know that those dudes did not create what's become an iconic loop and sound. No dis on 'em, but some Germans and soul funk singers get all the credit here, brahs.
In 1973, kraut brothers Heinz and Jürgen Huth formed the band Nighttrain, which fell mostly into obscurity, save for their single, Hallo Bimmelbahn, which caught new life when revitalized and reimagined by fellow countrymen of the disco variety, Boney M, in 1979.
While the former "rockers" version is sung all in the native tongue, it's easy to hear the immediate infectiousness of the arrangement and now unmistakeable "ooh oo-oooh ooh oo-ooh oohs". Lots of tambourine in Nighttrain's version too. Solid.
Boney M lifted the track for sampling purposes on their single Gotta Get Home, complete with full chorused vocals and steel drums. This fix is much more reminiscent of Duck Sauce's current smash, and is quite strikingly similar in more ways than one: the opening rolling tones, the disco beat, the hand clapability factor, etc...
Regardless, this is one song, sample and selection that we won't soon hear the last of. In whichever way you like your funked out fun.

I am into my second year of bee keeping in the Adirondacks of New york.
I started with two hives on 9 acres hoping to do more this year.
This past May I lost both hives to bears. I gathered up the remaining bees, I was able to make one hive out of the two damaged hives. I'm not sure if I got a queen back into the one hive after rebuilding the two into one.
Four days later I found that the bear(s) returned and busted up that lone hive.
That being said I put up an electric fenced yard 25' x 25', four electric wires around the yard at 10",20",30" and 40" using a solar charger . The Hives are about 1/4 mile away from my house as wife and kids not fans of the girls.
Here is my question. This winter the bears will go to sleep and I can shut down the electric on the fence, the snow will short out the fencing.
I worried that before the snow leaves the bears might come back for more honey and the fence will not be on because at least 2 of the 4 wires could be under snow. I was thinking about putting wire mess / netting on the hives and powering up the hives inside of the fence area. Hives are above the snow and would not short out. Has anyone ever done this?
I might add that I have had snow on the ground in April

US: Most energy resources in the world and most incoherent energy policy
posted at 4:00 pm on March 26, 2011 by Bruce McQuain
As Peter Glover says, writing in the Energy Tribune, this ought to be the lead story in every American paper and on every American news show. But it's overshadowed by Japan, Libya and other developments in the world.
America's combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CSR), the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd), China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined – and that's without including America's shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.
The US and Russia are the two most resource rich countries in the world. Here's the chart that shows how huge our advantage is:
Note it says "Oil Equivalent" on the left side. That's because it includes coal. Yeah, that icky, nasty stuff that we're trying to ban or make it supremely expensive to use.
The CRS estimates US recoverable coal reserves at around 262 billion tons (not including further massive, difficult to access, Alaskan reserves). Given the US consumes around 1.2 billion tons a year, that's a couple of centuries of coal use, at least.
In fact, the US has 28% of the world's coal.
Natural gas?
In 2009 the CRS upped its 2006 estimate of America's enormous natural gas deposits by 25 percent to around 2,047 trillion cubic feet, a conservative figure given the expanding shale gas revolution. At current rates of use that's enough for around 100 years. Then there is still the, as yet largely publicly untold, story of methane hydrates to consider, a resource which the CRS reports alludes to as "immense…possibly exceeding the combined energy content of all other known fossil fuels." According to the Inhofe's EPW, "For perspective, if just 3 percent of this resource can be commercialized … at current rates of consumption, that level of supply would be enough to provide America's natural gas for more than 400 years."
So, the possibility of 400 years worth of NG, a couple hundred years worth of coal – but what about oil?
Well shucks, seems we have the potential to be quite free of foreign oil, doesn't it?
While the US is often depicted as having only a tiny minority of the world's oil reserves at around 28 billion barrels (based on the somewhat misleading figure of 'proven reserves') according to the CRS in reality it has around 163 billion barrels. As Inhofe's EPW press release comments, "That's enough oil to maintain America's current rates of production and replace imports from the Persian Gulf for more than 50 years"
Of course that all assumes we do something about taking advantage of the resources we have and actually putting ourselves in a position where we're not at the mercy of foreign sources of the same sorts of products.
Obviously and hopefully, we'll come up with affordable and available renewable energy products while we're doing that.
However, we have no coherent energy plan from this administration. Instead it seems to have gone to war with the oil industry and is doing everything it can to slow its ability to find and exploit these resources. 19,000 jobs and 1.1 billion in earnings have been lost since the imposition of the administration's moratorium. Both former Presidents Bush and Clinton have spoken out against the delays. And the administration remains in contempt of a court order which ordered them to speed up the permitting process. As a result the EIA has estimated a loss of 74,000 barrels a day of production due to the moratorium this year.
Meanwhile our President touts foreign oil, our investment in it and claims we'll be its "best customer".
As Glover says:
Meanwhile US energy policy persists in pursuing the myth that renewables are the economically viable future, with fossil fuels already, as the president said in January, "yesterday's energy". With 85 percent of global energy set to come from fossil fuels till at least 2035 no matter what wishful thinkers may prefer, current US energy policy – much like European – is pure political pantomime.
Couldn't agree more. We sit on a veritable treasure trove of natural resources which could actually make us energy independent and we have an administration which is doing everything in its power to not just keep us dependent on foreign oil, but to increase our dependence.

Search Narrows Bend Hit-And-Run Focus
Blood-Like Substance Found On Front Of Vehicle
BEND, Ore. - Although Bend police remain tight-lipped about January's hit-and-run investigation, a search warrant executed on 37-year old Bret Biedscheid's car provides more details of what exactly officers were looking for in the first two days after the crash.
Documents from Deschutes County Circuit Court show police seized several phones, three computers, and two GPS devices from the home and car of Biedscheid, named a person of interest in the investigation.
A search of his 2008 GMC truck uncovered front-end damage, broken pieces on the passenger side headlight, and a red substance consistent with blood, according to the search warrant.
Closer examinations at the police department turned up broken lens pieces and a missing amber bulb consistent with debris found at the scene.
Whats more, police found imprints on the bumper and passenger side, consistent with a bike tire -- possibly the tire mark of 48-year-old Anthony Martin, who was walking his bike across Third Street last month when he was struck by a car.
The frustration continues for the victim's family as they wait for answers.
Stephen Garcia, a friend of the victim's family, said, "We just don't understand how a human being can hit someone else and drive away -- doesn't make sense."
According to the warrant, police swabbed the steering wheel and gearshift, and the Biedscheids allowed investigators to take samples of their DNA, fingerprints and palm prints.
Biedscheid's attorney, Portland lawyer Stephen Houze, had a protective order barring police from examining a desktop computer and shredded paper that were seized, claiming the items contain confidential attorney-to-client material.
Biedscheid is still not considered a possible suspect in the case, but for the family, a suspect isn't enough.
"It kind of helps they have a person of interest," said Garcia. "But at the same time, it doesn't, because this will never end. This is an open wound in our hearts, and it will never stop."
Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty told NewsChannel 21 Tuesday that it will be around two weeks before his department gets any forensic test results back from their search.

Apple: Price Targets, Estimates Going Up on New iPad
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $3.54, or 0.7%, at $534.23 the morning after the company introduced its latest iPad model to the world, as well as a revamped "Apple TV" set-top box.
The praise from the Street is more or less unanimous, as it was with the early reviews, yesterday afternoon.
This morning, price targets are going up today in several corners, and estimates, in some but not all cases.
Mind you, some analysts had held off on raising price targets for months, and the stock had steadily crept up to the levels they were at, so some targets seemed ripe for an increase.
The mean target price on the Street is $594, according to Factset Research.
Bill Shope, Goldman Sachs: Reiterates a Buy rating, while raising his price target to $660 from $600, after raising his estimates to $152.38 billion in revenue this year and $42.52 in EPS, up from a prior $148.26 billion and $40.36. "Significantly, we believe the new iPad and the lower price point for the iPad 2 will enable Apple to continue its momentum and tablet market dominance, and we continue to expect rapid installed base growth in 2012 and beyond."
Mark McKechnie, ThinkEquity: Reiterates a Buy rating, while raising his price target to $600 from $550, writing that "The launch follows the "tech playbook" of offering more functionality at a given price point." The LTE capability in the new device should lead to an LTE iPhone later this year: "We view a new iPhone model, presumably the iPhone5 as a much more important catalyst on the horizon. Our industry checks suggest uncertain timing around the July-September time frame. Shipment of an LTE-based iPad adds confidence to our call for an LTE- based iPhone5 which we expect to also come in a thinner form factor."
Shebly Seyrafi, FBN Securities: Reiterates an Outperform rating and raises his price target to $730 from $650, after increasing his calendar 2012 iPad shipment forecast to 61.2 million units from a prior 56.2 million. While the iPad "met many expectations," it didn't meet all of them, leaving out support by Sprint-Nextel (S) among carriers, and support for Apple's "Siri" natural-language assistant, Seyrafi notes. Seyrafi raised his estimate for this fiscal year to $158.47 billion in revenue and $42.53 per share in EPS from a prior $156.29 billion and $42.09 per share.
Apple shares are up $1.86, or 0.3%, at $532.55.
Update: AppleInsider this evening reported that Radio Shack (RSH) started taking pre-orders for the iPad today, citing Radio Shack statements.
And TheBoyGeniusReport's Jonathan Geller wrote that some models of the iPad running on AT&T's network had already sold out as of this afternoon, citing data from Apple's online store.

Eritrea and North Korea are the first and second most censored countries worldwide, according to a list compiled by the Committee to Protect Journalists of the 10 countries where the press is most restricted. The list is based on research into the use of tactics ranging from imprisonment and repressive laws to harassment of journalists and restrictions on Internet access.
Iraqi Kurdistan may seem calm compared with much of the Middle East, but the media are vulnerable whenever internal political tensions flare. Amid impunity for anti-press attacks, including murder and arson, journalists say they must self-censor on topics like religion, social inequality, and corruption associated with powerful officials.

New York, January 28, 2014--Several local and international journalists have been attacked and detained in Egypt while covering deadly clashes between police and supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, according to news reports. The clashes erupted on Saturday, the third anniversary of the uprising in Egypt.
In 1968, Andrei Sakharov braved censorship and personal risk in the Soviet Union to give humanity an honest and timeless declaration of conscience. That same year, Ethiopia's most prominent dissenter, Eskinder Nega, was born. In January 1981, a year into Sakharov's exile in the closed city of Gorky, Reeyot Alemu, another fierce, Ethiopian free thinker, was born.

An increase in press freedom violations last year created a surge of need among journalists, driving a record number of assistance cases for CPJ's Journalist Assistance Program in 2012. More than three-quarters of the 195 journalists who received support during the year came from East Africa and the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting the challenges--including threats of violence and imprisonment--of working in these repressive regions. Here are some of the highlights of our work over the last year:
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.

Geospatial PDF?!? How to Create a Geospatially Aware PDF
Yes, it is true! You can make a PDF map spatially aware (aka georeferenced). Geospatial PDF's allow users to obtain latitude and longitude coordinates, turn data layers on and off, view a selected features attributes, and to query and highlight data. This tutorial will explain how you create a spatially aware PDF map from ESRI ArcMap. Just follow these easy steps!
1) Obtain the latest version of Adobe Reader (for free) at: http://get.adobe.com/reader/. NOTE: This tutorial uses Adobe Reader 10 so if you are using a later or newer version, some of the menus, etc. may be different.
2) Once you have created your map in ArcMap, select Export Map… from the File menu. Choose PDF from the 'Save as type:" dialog box. If it is not already expanded, expand the Options menu at the bottom of the Export Map dialog box. Select the Advanced tab. In the Layers and Attributes drop-down menu select 'Export PDF Layers and Feature Attributes'. Also check the box in front of 'Export Map Georeference Information'.
3) Open your exported map in Adobe Reader. Add the Model Tree to the Navigation Pane running down the left side of the Reader by right-clicking the panel.
4) Start exploring!
Click on the Layers icon in the Navigation Panel.
You can turn layers/labels on or off by clicking the Eye icon to the left of a group of or individual layers.
Click on the Model Tree icon in the Navigation Panel.
Select a feature from the list to see its attributes (NOTE: These are the same attributes that appear in the attribute tables in ArcMap. If there is a field that is turned off in your ArcMap attribute table, it will also not appear in the PDF). The feature will also be highlighted in the map.
You can also select a feature with your mouse on the map to view its attributes in the Model tree. To do so, you must have the Object Data tool on. To turn this tool on: from the Edit menu, select Analysis, and then Object Data Tool.
Finally, using the Find tool is also a simple way to query for data. Simply type the name of the feature into the Find tool or Advanced Search search box. If there is more than one feature that meets the criteria, it will be listed on the screen. To see the attributes of a specific feature, select it from the search results list.
To turn this tool on: from the Edit menu, select Analysis, and then Geospatial Location Tool. The location of the cursor while be shown in a text box at the bottom of the screen.
HELPFUL FACTS AND TIPS FROM THE ArcGIS RESOURCES WEBPAGE
· Each data frame will have its own folder in the tree view of the PDF that contains all the layers and the data frame graphics (neatline, background) associated with it.
· Text, picture, or north arrow elements added to a layout become part of a layer called Other. It contains all the graphics and marginalia that are not part of a data frame.
· Each group layer will be represented as a folder in the tree view, and the contents of the group layer will be presented within the group layer.
· Layers that cause rasterization, such as transparent layers, or layers that use a picture fill symbology consolidate all the layers below them into a single layer with the name Image.
· If a layer contains picture marker or picture fill symbology, use the option Vectorize picture markers/fills, found on the Format tab of the Options panel. This prevents rasterization of layers below picture markers and fills.
· Raster layers, such as orthophotos, consolidate all layers below them into a single Image layer. Place raster layers lower in the ArcMap table of contents to avoid this problem.
· Graphic or text elements added to the data frame's default graphics layer from data view become a layer called <Default>. These are displayed above the layers in the data frame. If multiple annotation groups exist (check this on the Drawing > Active Annotation Target menu command on the Draw toolbar) and their contents are in the data view, each individual annotation group becomes a separate layer above the <Default> layer. This is a good way to add focus areas or graphics that emphasize or mask certain features in the data view.
· Backgrounds or drop shadows added to the data frame may become separate graphic elements and may be rendered multiple times as graphics. For example, if a data frame has a colored background, and the layout has a different colored background, the data frame's background may be rendered once to the data frame's Graphics or ArcGIS Layer and again to the layout's Graphics layer or ArcGIS Layer.
· Dynamic labels (not using annotation) in each data frame are rendered separately as part of a layer called Labels.
· Geodatabase annotation is displayed as a separate layer in the PDF. Map annotation is consolidated into the layer for the annotation group in which it belongs.
· When labels are converted to annotation, they are automatically placed in their own named annotation group and render separately from the<Default> group.
· Data frames and other layout elements are rendered in draw order when exported to PDF. Therefore, the topmost layout element in the map is the first element in the resultant PDF table of contents. Use the Bring Forward and Send Backward commands from the Draw toolbar to change the draw order of layout elements.

Montreal hockey fans, who hadn't seen St. Louis play on Bell Centre ice since January, 2012, won't see the Blues again until next season.
Unless, of course, the teams meet in the Stanley Cup final.
Anyone want to bet their kids' college money on the likelihood of that best-of-seven match-up?
I didn't think so.
St. Louis is a serious Stanley Cup aspirant.
Your Montreal Canadiens are not.
What the Canadiens are is a gritty, never-say-die team with a core group of excellent young players who may become the nucleus of a Cup contender one of these years.
But right now – in early November of 2013 – the Canadiens are undermanned and undersized.
They gave the Blues all St. Louis could handle. After an opening period in which the visitors looked to run the guys in red jerseys right out of the Bell Centre, the Canadiens battled back and took a lead they held into the final half of the third period.
But for a fluke goal, the Canadiens could have won the game in regulation. As it is, they came away with a point that might be valuable in April.
They were not, however, the better team in this game. Just look at the possession stats:
Through 65 minutes, St. Louis had 32 shots on Carey Price. The Blues missed the net nine times, and 15 Canadiens skaters combined to block an astonishing 38 shots.
That's 79 times the puck left the stick of a player in a white jersey.
Comparable numbers for the Canadiens: 27 shots on Jaro Halak, five misses and the Blues blocked 11 for a total of 43.
That's the football score if Alabama played McGill.
And stretches of the game looked that way. St. Louis is big, fast, skilled and very well coached. The Blues throw the puck around like it's on a string. And when they lose it, they battle like junkyard dogs to get it back.
The Blues turned the puck over four times. The Canadiens, under relentless pressure, had a dozen giveaways.
Led by their captain, david backes, who had nine hits, St. Louis outwhacked the Canadiens 29-15.
The numbers don't lie, peeps. St. Louis is good.
Let's credit the Canadiens who weren't intimidated by playing against a superior hockey team: Carey Price, Brendan Gallagher, Michaël Bournival, Lars Eller and Rene Bourque all played their hearts out.
Max Pacioretty continues to round into pre-injury form. Alex Galchenyuk, playing centre for his first full game at the pro level, struggled in the faceoff circle (1-6) but made some clever plays and will improve. Andrei Markov made fast, smart decisions with the puck against a team that takes away time and space.
There is no quit in the Canadiens. Despite 79 man-games lost to injury at this early stage of the season, with the exception of a 2-0 loss to mighty San Jose, they have yet to be beaten by more than one goal.
Some fine June evening in a year or two or three, we may see Carey Price facing Jaro Halak in a Cup final.
But who will be behind the Canadiens' bench?
As is his wont, Michel Therrien's in-game coaching produced a few head-scratchers:
• With the Canadiens nursing a 2-1 lead halfway through the third period, why did the coach deploy George Parros and Ryan White, each of whom was minus-3 in the Canadiens' loss to Minnesota? The two fourth-liners added to their minus totals on the Chris Stewart goal that tied the game. How did the visiting coach, Ken Hitchcock, get Stewart Derek Roy and Vladimir Sobotka on against Canadiens' fourth-liners?
• With the score tied 2-2 and the Canadiens on their first power play of the game, what was career AHLer Martin St. Pierre doing on the ice for 1:09 of the two-minut advantage?
• Why was a Norris Trophy-winning defenceman on the bench for the last four minutes of regulation time and most of the OT? Alex Pietrangelo played 30:49 for St. Louis, while P.K. Subban played 20:52.
Yes, P.K. was on the ice for Stewart's game-tying goal. He was also on, and drew an assist, on the Rene Bourque goal that got the Canadiens back into the game.
P.K. had lessToI than either Josh Gorges or Raphael Diaz.
Gorges, OK.
But Raphael Diaz, FFS!
P.K. played only five minutes more than Douglas Murray and 55 seconds more than Francis Bouillon.
Murray! Bouillon!!
Montreal sports talk radio will be fun to listen to on Wednesday.

Whether Dallas takes advantage or not remains to be seen. The Cowboys have a full head of steam entering Sunday's matchup with the Cleveland Browns, and will try to build on an upcoming soft schedule. They got themselves back into the playoff mix with last week's 38-23 win at Philadelphia and heated up the NFC East race.

Home>Exhibitions>Selected Past Exhibitions>2007>Masquerade and Spectacle
Supported by Pioneer Investments This exhibition was organised to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Jack B. Yeats (1871-1957), one of Ireland's most acclaimed modern artists.
Featuring some 23 paintings, drawn mainly from private collections, the exhibition focused on the theme of circuses and travelling fairs in the work of Yeats. This subject was crucial to the development of his oeuvre. From his earliest years he had a fascination with such theatrical spectacles, as is evident from his sketchbooks and early pirate plays. The exhibition included a number of such items from the Yeats Archive at the National Gallery, a vast store of material which was presented by Jack's niece, Anne Yeats in 1994. It also featured both early and late oil paintings and showed how certain motifs such as the clown and the barrel man recurred in Yeats's work over many decades.
The theme of the circus became much more than scenes of tension and excitement as seen for example in the Haute École Act, 1925 or Double Jockey Act, 1916. In later works: This Grand Conversation was Under the Rose, 1943, or They Come, They Come, 1936, the circus performers become powerful metaphors for the role of the artist, and the individual, in contemporary life.

SECC 2005 poster
Congratulations! UTSA sets pace with 55-percent participation in charitable campaign
By Albert Carrisalez
Assistant to the President, Director of External Affairs and Chair, UTSA SECC 2005
(Oct. 5, 2005)--Congratulations, UTSA! You did it -- you made it happen. You more than doubled the goal set by United Way for UTSA in the State Employee Charitable Campaign (SECC)!
In one month, UTSA employees helped raise $209,484 for San Antonians in need. This reflects a 55-percent employee participation level -- a significant jump from previous years and the highest percent participation in UTSA's history.
This victory not only tells San Antonio that UTSA cares, but that UTSA sets the pace for our community to step up and do their part.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Your investment will help many, whether it is for our 3,500 friends from New Orleans living in four shelters in San Antonio because of the hurricane evacuation, or the many other friends, neighbors, family members or co-workers.
Last year, 507 UTSA family members benefited from services provided by agencies supported through SECC in San Antonio. Some of those charities include, but are not limited to: Christus Santa Rosa Health Center for Children and Families, Goodwill Industries, Humane Society, Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation, South Texas Blood and Tissue Center, Cancer Foundation, Habitat for Humanity and Respite Care.
You read many testimonials on UTSA Today from your fellow employees who thank you for supporting SECC. Employees like Rachel Pullen and her 25-year- old son, Jeremiah, and 11-year-old granddaughter, Kaylee, who both have diabetes.
You met Grace Hernandez's granddaughter, Liz, who was born with cerebral palsy and is able to enjoy and experience many activities with kids her age with the help of a local charity called CampCamp, which is funded by SECC.
You also heard from other UTSA employees who volunteered their stories about how your investment in SECC has helped them each day they come to work. Thank you for helping your fellow employees.
UTSA's SECC wouldn't have succeeded without the help of the following people.
Thank you…
- To the UTSA employees that continued giving to SECC and employees who gave for the first time this year.
- To the 153 UTSA SECC Area Champions for championing this cause for their respective areas and for distributing and collecting SECC packets.
- To the 56 UTSA areas, offices, divisions and departments that succeeded in 100-percent SECC participation.
- To the 160-plus university leaders including deans, department chairs, vice presidents, executive directors and directors who encouraged employees to tour agencies and opened faculty and staff meetings to SECC presentations.
- To the many individuals who organized SECC office projects and gatherings and shared creative ideas to encourage co-workers to give.
- To the faculty, staff and students who volunteered their time, energy and expertise at various local shelters for the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
- To the Office of University Communications for getting the word out about SECC throughout September.
- To the 25 members of the President's SECC Advisory Committee for marketing the campaign, organizing SECC events, securing incentives and making the entire campaign fun.
- To the employees of United Way for helping coordinate a successful UTSA SECC campaign.
- To President Ricardo Romo for always being there at every SECC event and for his support throughout the campaign.
- To the staff in the Office of External Affairs for investing countless hours on weeknights and weekends, ensuring that all ran smoothly.
Thank you, UTSA, for opening your doors, your hearts and saying "I care!" This campaign is successful because of you.

Nisswa Area Historical Society president injured, more concerned about pioneer village than himself
On the morning of July 5, Nisswa Area Historical Society (NAHS) President Dick Carlson was moving a film projector that was just donated to the historical society to his car when he took a tumble that sent him to the hospital.
"I was carrying a large box that had just been donated to us. I met the people at the village and was carrying it to my car and fell forward on it and crushed both kneecaps," Carlson said.
Carlson was rushed to the Cuyuna Regional Medical Center where surgeons worked to reconnect the tendons torn from his patellas. Carlson was relegated to bed rest for five weeks at the Cuyuna Regional Medical Center before moving on to rehabilitation.
"Fortunately I got to the hospital on time and they were operating seven hours later, so hopefully there will be some recovery of my ability to walk," Carlson said.
All of this may sound pretty harsh, but Carlson is not worried about himself, he is more concerned that the NAHS has enough help.
Carlson has been the NAHS president for 15 years. He has been with the group since its founding in 1994, and he was very much involved with the acquisition of the Nisswa Pioneer Village from Lee and Penny Anderson and its subsequent care. He was named Nisswa Citizen of the Year in 2002.
Carlson says he spends almost all of his free time working with the historical society. It is no wonder that his mind is preoccupied with the group.
In his absence his duties are being handled by members of the board of directors, but his concerns are still more with the group than his own wellbeing.
"The thing that I most want is that people will help the historical society and the pioneer village, because with the family and everything we can take care of everything for me personally, but I sure hope everybody pitches in and helps at the pioneer village and the historical society," Carlson said.
Carlson said he will still welcome prayers and any help that people wish to give. Anything to get him back to his two favorite passtimes, the NAHS and his granddaughter.
"We'll have to wait and see how things turn out," Carlson said. "Hopefully the historical society will be stronger than ever."
Cindy Terwilliger is serving as interim president of the NAHS in Carlson's absence.

There is no doubt that when people think of lightning speed the term supercar comes to mind. Today we take a look at 2 intense supercars that are recognized worldwide....the 2006 Ford GT and 2009 Ferrari F430.The 2006 Ford GT is a legendary car. Known as the Ferrari killer, the Ford GT comes with a 5.4L Supercharged V8 engine capable of creating 550hp and 500lbs of torque having a top speed of 212mph. Starting price for this beast is $149,995 dollars. Clearly not a car you want to challenge is your embarrasment of a toyota.Not to be outdone though comes the 2009 Ferrari F430. This Ferrari has the advatange in modern technology and comes with a 4.3l V8 engine making 490hp and 343lb of torque. This allows it to get a top speed of 196mph. Starting price for this furious pony is 187,925. Once again, not a car you want to mess with having a cheap nissan or honda.Question to you fine people is which would you prefer and why? Any improvements you guys suggest to either supercar?
Life.....It's not about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep pushing forward, how much you can take and keep pushing forward! - Rocky Balboa
You just explained everything why the Ford is still better.
The Ferrari F430 will outperform the GT in virtually every category, who ever sees top speed. That being said I'd take the GT as I love Fords and it's much easier, less expensive to work on. Either car will guarantee you're not disappointed.
The only improvement I can think of is to make them cost about $30k. That way I can actually afford one to enjoy (But given the choice, the GT would be in the garage instead of the Ferrari.)

Ferrari F430...why? IT'S A MOTHER *** FERRARI!!!=]
xoxo,___________________________________If God's watching us, we might as well be entertaining?Doubt is a cancer to hope and achievement. Do not allow it to eat away and erode what is possible for you to accomplish.?
I'd take the Ford GT.It's probably the best TRUE american exotic ever built.But I wouldn't hesitate to take the Ferrari either.
"This allows it to get a top speed of 196mph. Starting price for this furious pony is 187,925. Once again, not a car you want to mess with having a cheap nissan or honda."ell just to let you know this "cheap" GTR freaking hung with a F430 pretty darn well!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At0n2Y88VPkMakes me wonder if it would do the same with a Ford GT!
When Top gear took the Ferrari F430 Spyder and Ford GT through France (along with the Pagani Zonda Roadster) the Ferrari was the easier one to drive through Paris and mountains. I'd still have the GT.The sound it makes is great, it keeps pulling, there's less complication about it, and that look-- how is that not a better looking car? The Ferrari isn't my idea of a supercar. It's a super car-- it's great. But the GT is a supercar because it looks awesome, has monstrous torque, and just-- I dunno. I love it. Always have since the production models came out (not so much the concepts-- I think the production one is way more cool).The fact is, the one Ferrari owner (has three) I've really got to see on many occasions is exactly-- I mean EXACTLY-- the Top Gear stereotype. It's not me projecting (anyone recall the Cayenne?) it's a fact. His voice, Ferrari-red shoes, Ferrari hat/jacket/shirt, etc. Even his little tiny dogs have Ferrari related names (one is Enza, the girl version of Enzo). It kills the experience of the F430.
----------When life throws you a curve, downshift and take it vigorously.Pheobe's@478,000-ish miles. (RIP original engine 475k)Youtube
Even though the Ford GT has the upper hand in power, I would still go for the F430, just because I favor handling over power. But by the specs, the Ford GT is a monster. Until you consider the ZO6 and ZR1 cost less and perform better. And if you don't mind having a V6 and a car that pretty much drives by itself, the GTR is great!
______________________________Acura's motor got upstaged by Ford.And now that Buick is owned by Ford, I think it's safe to say that the Buick has a better motor than the TL?
seems like arounding to this track race this guys perferes the GTR over the Ford GT but the GT barely beats the GTR... check out the video... be sure to head towards the middle!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYdv1G1Lfk8
This comparison just won't go away! That said, if I had the money for the purchase, I'd still have to go with the ford since I couldn't afford the ferrari's maintenance (benefitting american workers and engineers is nice too though).
--"If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn't thinking." -- George Patton
I'd take the GT. It is my favorite car. It is stunning to look at and no slouch in performance. Plus, in 2-3 years there will be a Ferrari that upstages the F430. Then there will be another car to upstage the F430's successor. How long will it be until Ford builds a GT successor? 10 years? 20 years? 40 years?
MGdriver:The only improvement I can think of is to make them cost about $30k. That way I can actually afford one to enjoy (But given the choice, the GT would be in the garage instead of the Ferrari.)HAHAHAHA....yea that would be a pretty sweet deal to have. I mean could you imagine how many GT's and Ferraris there would be in the street today if all they cost was 30k??? I'd have at least 3 in the garage. HAHA.
Life.....It's not about how hard you can hit but how hard you can get hit and keep pushing forward, how much you can take and keep pushing forward! - Rocky Balboa
I'll take the Ford gt, for a few reason's, the history, the look's, and the engine note..oh yeah and the speed

Concern remains high for creek, endangered trout habitat
MISSOULA, Mont. - Advocates describe Lolo Creek as a dynamic tributary to the Bitterroot River and spawning ground for endangered trout.
It is a delicate habitat affected by major changes in the weather -- vulnerable to flooding in the spring and severe drought in the fall.
"In the spring, Lolo Creek can really rage. It's been known to migrate and move laterally over decades. In the late summer and early fall, it really becomes a trickle. It really dies down. Low flows impact the lives of trout, the increase in temperatures," explains Lolo Watershed Group Board Member Kasie Herron.
Forest managers fear last year's Lolo Creek Complex of fires could potentially worsen flooding in the Lolo area.
Residents, however, are concerned every year, not just this one, about the effects of flooding and drought on Lolo Creek.
"I would say both are definitely on our minds. There's no ignoring the fires we experienced last year. As the threat of fire increases across the entire state of Montana, it's definitely something we want to keep in mind," adds Herron.
Community members formed the Lolo Watershed Group a decade ago to unite on ways to protect the river and educate the public.
Wednesday night, the Lolo Watershed Group held the year's first meeting at the Lolo Community Center. Forest Service experts talked about ways to mitigate invasive plants in the watershed area.

In one of the Robert Russell threads Ted Kretschmann's name came up. Well, I took Ted K. up on an invitation to call him...we talked about an hour. Ted's doing ok and is finally about over the spider bite which was a bad time for him..we're talking bone scraping surgery,etc.,.
The thing about Ted is that though he's done this all of his life and probably as much of an expert as anyone in the country he loves to talk bees with a newbee like me. When I told him I had three viable hives going into the spring I thought I'd get a chuckle from the fellow that's got 2000+ hives...that wasn't the case, though. Instead, when he found out I'd lost two colonies he insured me that I was about average with the rest of the industry and better than what he had in one yard....a big producer like him trying to lift a little guy like me up...that's class. He loves the bee business and is greatly concerned about it. He's old fashioned in that he adheres to the idea that "beekeepers help beekeepers", but he fears some of the *good* old ways are disappearing. I guess it's just like in many other things...changes happen...some good, some not so good.
Anyhow, he's currently knee deep in bees and sorting out what he's coming out of winter with...some areas look good and some look so-so. Lastly, he told me to tell everybody hello for him so here it is...."hello for him"....so there, I said it.
PS...BTW, he's still opinionated and says what's on his mind.

Big Stone Gap experiences movie's "big" debut
BIG STONE GAP, Va. - The town of Big Stone Gap is on its way to the big screen with the filming of a movie underway.
Locals tell News 5 they are excited about the exposure and are glad to be a part of the experience.
The sounds of an old cash register are fitting for the antique shop in downtown Big Stone Gap. Some the antiques and even the store's owner will be in the upcoming movie Big Stone Gap, named after the town.
"They've got lamps, they have gotten a couple of Duncan Phyfe tables, an old Maytag washer, just a bunch of stuff," said store owner Patty Akers.
Akers is also a stand-in actress in the movie. "I'm tickled to death, I'm very proud and honored. Adriana chose us! She could have done this anyplace, but she did it here in her hometown," said Akers.
Adriana Trigiani wrote the book Big Stone Gap back in 2001.
In the next 6 weeks Akers can watch this novel play out from her store window. "Adriana has given Big Stone Gap and the entire region a wonderful gift. This could last for many years. It is up to us, not only Big Stone, but our entire region, to do what we can with this gift," said Jack Mack, a set builder on the film.
Jack Mack has lived in Big Stone Gap all of his life and he's had a hand in building parts of the movie, set like the old Mutual Pharmacy building.
Mack tells News 5 he doesn't mind the work because he hopes this movie will bring more exposure to the community, thus helping the economy. "Once this thing hits the movie theaters there will be a tsunami of people coming to our region. The potential economics of this, especially during the economically-distressed time, will go along in turning things around," said Mack.
Big Stone Gap Productions tells News 5 that up to 80 people from the production crew and cast are in town at one time.
The city of Big Stone Gap expects this surge of people could bring in tens of thousands of dollars into the economy.
The crew will likely be in town six more weeks. The movie is expected to be released in 2014.

Toted as the birthplace of Southern Rock, this Georgia town also claims music legends Otis Redding, Little Richard and the Allman Brothers as natives. However, it's the second part of its moniker; "soul", that sets Macon apart from other music meccas. The city has historic streets lined with antebellum mansions and various museums displaying its Civil War and African American heritage.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Wow just what we needed for a 6 day stay in Athens, 2 bedrooms with good beds, small kitchen with everything you need, bathroom adequate, lounge area large with huge verandah. Restaurants and supermarkets at your door step. The base of the Acropolise only a 5 minute walk. Greeting and key hand over completed with ease. A great place to stay.
They came to pick up at the airport at night, Elena and her friend two very sympathetic and nice women. The apartment is 10 minutes from the acropolis spacious and very clean, in a very quiet neighborhood, let us all necessary information. A stay of 10. Totally recommended.
Nos vinieron a recoger al aeropuerto de noche, Elena y su amiga dos mujeres muy simpáticas y agradables. El piso esta a 10 min de la acropolis amplio y muy limpio, en un barrio muy tranquilo, nos dejaron toda la información necesaria. Una estancia de 10. Totalmente recomendable.
Advantages of this apartment are particularly favorable and quiet location in a residential area near the center. The friendly and helpful landlord and hospitable neighbor made that we quickly felt at home. The landlord to wait half an hour in front of the reception on the first day I found less enjoyable; a text message I had appreciated about delays.
I do not know, the default in Athens but we found the apartment - especially the bathroom - which primitive. Renovated in 2014 is not much notice. Apartment building stairwell eyes and poorly maintained. The terrace turned out - different than I had seen from the description - generally accessible flat roof of the building.
Pluspunten van dit appartement zijn de gunstige en vooral rustige ligging in een woonwijk vlak bij het centrum. De vriendelijke en behulpzame verhuurder en de gastvrije buurman maakten dat wij ons er snel thuis voelden. Dat de verhuurder een half uur op zich wachten voor de ontvangst op de eerste dag vond ik minder plezierig; een sms-je over vertraging had ik op prijs gesteld.
Ik ken de standaard in Athene niet, maar wij vonden het appartement - vooral de badkamer - wat primitief. Van de renovatie in 2014 is niet veel te merken. Flatgebouw en trappenhuis ogen slecht onderhouden. Het terras bleek - anders dan ik uit de beschrijving had opgemaakt - het algemeen toegankelijke platte dak van het gebouw.
Our family of 5 very much enjoyed the apartment, overall. We were met promptly by a kind and enthusiastic associate who got us settled in. The apartment was close to all the places we wished to visit (by foot)! The space was roomy, clean , and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes. The terrace was very large, but we wished that there was an awning, as you could not be out on it in the direct sunshine. Also, all 4 deck chairs were broken (seats ripped and could not bear weight). There were travel books available for our use, and were appreciated. Would recommend the apartment!
The area of Helena's apartment is quiet and safe.
The location is perfect - straight connection (several tram station) with the center of the city and at the same time with the beaches at the seaside.
There is a park at the same street and large shopping area in the distance of one tram station.
The apartment is very clean and comfortable.
Full information is clearly given for the guests - concerning all the things a tourist is looking in the city.
The host is very friendly, open and offers her sincere help. In fact you fill like under your mother's care.
When visiting Athens again I will try to come back to Helen'a apartment.
We were very warmly welcomed at the airport and everything was fine during our stay. The apartment is quite spacious and can easily accommodate 3 couples. The sights were easily accessible on foot. Also shopping were very close. The balcony was a bit narrow but still offered seating for 5 people. The terrace didn't use, The TV had only 3 programms but because the most of the time we were in the city and on the beach, this did not play a role. All in all, we can recommend the apartment very much.
The stay at Helena's flat was great. We felt welcome and received prompt replies to our questions and requests. Everything is according to the description and the accomodation is equipped with all the things one possibly needs. The neighborhood is safe and several restaurants, cafes and supermarkets are just around the corner. It takes not more than 5 minutes to the subway and all the touristic sites can be reached within two or three stops. I can recommend the accomodation and would stay their again.
A lovely apartment located in the quiet street, very central to the Placa. Perfect for us four sisters, separate sheets as desired.
Airport pick up was perfect, even though we were very late, also pass at the airport was perfect. Highly recommend the apartment and service from Helena.
Yours sincerely Signe
En dejlig lejlighed beliggende i rolig gade, meget central til Placa. Perfekt til os 4 søstre, separate lagner som ønsket.
Afhentning i lufthavnen var perfekt, selv om vi var meget forsinket, også aflevering i lufthavnen var perfekt. Kan varmt anbefale lejligheden og servicen fra Helena.
med venlig hilsen Signe
Nothing to say, everything was perfect!
The location of the apartment is very convenient when you come for a conference, it is right next to the Hilton.

There were some significant developments before and after the Canadiens' practice in Brossard Sunday.
For starters, Alexei Emelin (photo above) was on the ice in full gear with strength coach Pierre Allard before practice. It wasn't Emelin's first skate since having reconstructive knee surgery in May, but he was in sweats for his workouts last week. The defenceman is on target for a return in early December.
Douglas Murray, who has a lower-body injury, was also out on the ice early, as was forward George Parros, who is recovering from shoulder surgery. Parros was skating for the first time without a non-contact jersey and was part of the regular practice. Travis Moen got a head start as he rejoined the regular practice after missing two days with a lower-body injury.
Also joining in the regular practice were defencemen Francis Bouillon and Nathan Beaulieu. Bouillon has been listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury, while Beaulieu banged up his shoulder in practice early in training camp and has yet to appear in an exhibition game.
Eleven players, mostly youngsters who played both games against Carolina, were limited to off-ice training, and the lineup on the ice Sunday was very close to what the roster will look like on opening night Oct. 1 against the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Bell Centre.
Tomas Plekanec was on a line between Rene Bourque and Brian Gionta, while David Desharnais was at centre with Max Pacioretty and Daniel Briere. The two Gallys – Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher – were with Lars Eller, and the fourth line had Ryan White between Moen and Brandon Prust. Parros was with Martin St. Pierre and Nick Tarnasky.
The defence pairings were P.K. Subban and Josh Gorges, Andrei Markov and Rafael Diaz, and Bouillon with Beaulieu.
The off-ice group included a few players who are on the bubble: defencemen Jarred Tinordi, Magnus Nygren and Greg Pateryn, and forward Michael Bournival.
After practice, the Canadiens announced that Michael McCarron, the club's first-round draft pick this year, was being returned to the junior London Knights of the OHL. The Canadiens also returned forward Sebastian Collberg to Frolunda in the Swedish Elite League, assigned goaltender Dustin Tokarski to the Hamilton Bulldogs and placed forward Nick Tarnasky on waivers for the purpose of sending him to Hamilton.
The Canadiens are back in action Monday night when the New Jersey Devils visit the Bell Centre (7:30 p.m., RDS, TSN Radio 690)

The apartment was awsome with amazing views to the river, they also offer you a transfer service for a good price. I will recommend to everyone!!
Location is really near to the city centre.
The apartment is spacious and the beds are nice. But unfortunately these tops are in contrast to the flops: furniture is old and dirty. Kitchen misses a lot of stuff.
The bathroom is the worst thing: dirty, old, fungus, broken toilet and sink. No showercurtain in bath so everything gets completely wet.
Blankets and sheets on the beds are dirty. Broken and dangerous wall sockets.
Nice appartment and very well located.
Perfect location! And the front door was fixed immediately when I called and told them it was almost falling out of the frame. This is clearly an appartment if you don't care if things look worn down, and are not very picky about how the shower looks. In other words; To be used for sleeping and luggage storage.
Great apartment with lots of spare. Placed just 5 minutes from Undergrund Aldgate East. Tesco Express next to underground and very nice restaurant Old Moe's.
Nice and quiet area with nearly No traffic.
Checking in was easy and Illona at the office was very helpful.
We will be back for sure and give this place our best recommandations.
Laila, Jens, Per and Gitte , Denmark
It was an awesome weekend in Prague and so was the appartment too!!! We got exactly that what we booked and what we saw on the pictures. The communication was kindly and we got answer within one day. I can just recommend this appartment and the team around of Katarina.
Thank you
Apartment and location were pretty good. Wifi is horrible, there are couple of stairs and specially getting the keys is very complicated. Is not that easy for someone who arrives the first time to get them in a place far from the apartment. Plus flat wasnt B21, was B12 so its kind of confusing.
The apartment was perfect! It was clean, big and very closed to the city centre and to the San Venceslao square. We were in 7 adults and there was enough space for all of us. Nothing negative to say. I will return in this apartment during my next trip in Prague.

Learn how to use the new OT CPT® Evaluation codes correctly.
Occupational therapy consistently ranks high as one of the top jobs.
Read recent news articles about occupational therapy.
Find out how occupational therapy helps people with polytraumatic injuries.
Describe your journey of leadership.
When I was in school, our instructors told us about AOTA and the power of professional development. I was friends with the president and vice president of our state association. They were instrumental in having me join both associations and becoming a leader, first through committee work at a state level, then by running for Assistant Representative to the Representative Assembly (RA) for our state.
AOTA sent "Rep. Prep" materials and we had instructions from Carol Gwin our Staff Liaison to assist us. She made us feel welcome. My state is quite proactive in having AOTA speakers for Conferences and quarterly Continuing Education meetings.
Sharon Sanderson is a retired occupational therapist who began our state association over 40 years ago and she was instrumental in beginning the program at Oklahoma University. She and other instructors fostered me along the way. We developed a leadership program in our state association; we telecast continuing education to up to 4 sites per session; we aligned with AOTA for the Centennial Vision process and raised money to be used in meeting the Centennial Vision on the Hill in our state. We have leaders with relationships to our state legislators who help us with grassroots efforts and used our alignment with AOTA to assure our constituents that we are aware of national issues and our need to focus and support those efforts financially as well as with grassroots efforts.
Through my tenure as our State Representative, I have learned about the need for continued involvement at both a state and national level and I have been promoting it every way I can and everywhere I go. I strive to get constituent feedback via the listserv, executive board service, and networking at continuing education events, having booths at state conference, attending and being visible at state events, as well as through networking everywhere I go. I discovered that small numbers of constituents can be heard at a national level. This has encouraged me to try various means to increase the feedback from my state on national issues.
I have received significant support from Carol Gwin, Chuck Christiansen, Florence Clark, Carolyn Baum, Sharon Sanderson, and Yvonne Randall as well as numerous others. They have really made me see that you don't have to be at the top to be heard there.
I learned that being an OTA doesn't mean that you have less importance when it comes to being heard and presenting sometimes an opposing view on various subjects. I have found that these well-known OTs with national positions really care about OTAs and do not wish to diminish our importance with treatments or leadership development.
I do feel that OTAs with just the Associate degree have a much harder time meeting the criteria for national positions. The educators have an edge because they frequently are able to pursue higher degrees in other areas as their positions with colleges allow them to do so at a lesser amount of financial investment. The national positions are difficult to vet for as candidates. The Roster of Honor awards are almost unachievable as a clinician so these do not look so appealing to pursue.
I continually encourage new practitioners to join and support both their state association and AOTA, and to continue to be certified with NBCOT. I encourage them to do what they can to participate as committee members, run for state offices, and get in the position where they can take part with the RA, Committees for AOTA, and run for AOTA positions. I also encourage them to support the PAC and Foundation as they give us national awareness on many levels.
I ran for and did not win an election to serve as OTA Rep. to the RA. I am presently running for Alternate State Rep. position and would be happy to serve on another committee as a member. I feel that leadership is an ongoing process and we need to have continual participation at some level.
Our state doesn't have an educational bridging program, but I am 54 years old and do not feel that pursuing a Master's-level degree would pay for itself. I shall have my professional development to be focused on continued volunteerism. I also have a daughter who is an OTA. I am fostering her along this path as well.

Venezuela: Background
Something unprecedented is happening in Venezuela. Since the election of Hugo Chavez in 1999 Venezuela has embarked on a profound and controversial project of reinventing society from within, changing a political and economic system that benefits the few and powerful to one that gives ordinary Venezuelans a seat at the table.
Now, for the first time, millions of Venezuelans have access to education, job training, housing, land, clean water, health care, and something maybe even more precious: dignity.
While the personality of Hugo Chavez monopolizes the headlines and the mainstream media reduces complex issues to simplistic soundbites, the reality of the Venezuelan revolution is complex, contradictory and ever-changing. With new spaces for political participation opened to grassroots social movements, once-marginalized Venezuelan citizens have come out of the shadows to demand an active role in society.
Community-based health care missions now bring medical services to poor neighborhoods. Educational programs are putting millions more children into new schools, while new university opportunities are providing higher education to Venezuelans previously shut out of the system. At the same time, women, indigenous peoples, and Afro-Venezuelans are gaining stature and rights, while a high-profile agrarian reform campaign is giving poor farmers access to land.
Venezuela is also becoming a leader in regional integration, particularly in the promotion of viable alternatives to corporate globalization and the "free trade" economic model. The proposed Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) would prioritize regional cooperation to strengthen Latin American economies. Venezuela also helped create the Bank of the South, an alternative source of funding for development in Latin America, TeleSur, a Latin American news channel, and PetroAmérica— the first fully integrated, Latin American oil company.
But these ambitious programs, and Chavez's call for the creation of 21st Century Socialism are controversial. The Bush Administration -- which endorsed the coup d'etat against Venezuelan democracy in 2002 - continues in its rhetorical and funding efforts to discredit the government's legitimacy both at home and abroad. The U.S. media routinely labels President Chavez a 'dictator' and 'demagogue.' At the same time, political polarization continues to rack Venezuela as the opposition struggles to create an alternative to the chavista program.
The direction of the Bolivarian process is being negotiated not only in the presidential palace but also in the streets and fields of Venezuela. After new constitutional changes were narrowly rejected by the Venezuelan public the future of Venezuela is more unsure than ever.
We invite you to travel to Venezuela with Global Exchange to dig past the headlines and explore the changes occurring in Venezuela, Latin America and the hemisphere as a whole. Meet with human rights activists, rural agricultural workers, labor unions, community activists, journalists, and government as well as opposition figures, and see for yourself the unprecedented social change that is occurring at this historic time.
At the crossroads of the Andean mountains, the Caribbean coast, the Amazon rainforest, and the Amacuro River Delta, Venezuela's wondrous natural diversity and beauty combined with its visionary social justice agenda guarantee an exciting -- and unforgettable -- experience.
