MA Comprehensive Exams
During the student's final academic year in the program, each Master's candidate is responsible for working with his or her Committee Chair and other committee members to schedule a comprehensive examination.
Exams are given twice a year: during the 12th, 13th, and 14th weeks of the fall and spring semesters.
Each Master's candidate's committee comprises three members of the English Graduate Faculty--which may include faculty from either the Departments of English or Writing Studies--and one observing, "outside" member from another department.
If the candidate's program emphasis of study includes a related field, that outside member will also conduct that portion of the exam.
One of the committee members from English or Writing Studies (usually the student's program advisor) will also serve as the committee chair and coordinate the details of the written and oral portions of the exam.
By of the end of your first year--or during the semester before the term when the exam is to take place, at the latest--each Master's candidate is responsible:
- for asking appropriate faculty to serve on the committee,
- for asking one member (usually the student's advisor) to serve as committee chair, and
- for working with each committee member to develop a reading list for each section of the exam.
Written Portion
The written portion of the exam is divided into multiple sections (given one or two hours in the written portion of the exam). The faculty committee members will be responsible for sections relevant to their specialties.
The written portion of the exam will be taken on two consecutive days beginning on a day between Monday of the twelfth week through Thursday on the thirteenth week of the semester. All written portions of the exam must be completed no later than Friday of the thirteenth week.
Oral Portion
The oral component of the exam is given on the fourth working day following completion of the written portions of the exam. This means that no oral will be taken before Monday of the thirteenth week or later than Thursday of the fourteenth week. For details, see "Principles and Procedures For Conducting the Oral Component of the Comprehensive Exam."
Exam Descriptions According to Emphasis
Guidelines for the composition of the committee and the reading lists vary by emphasis. See the following pages for more details on the substance and format of the exam in each area:
- Comprehensive Examination: Literary Studies
- Comprehensive Examination: Publishing and Print Culture
- Comprehensive Examination: Literature, Language, and Culture
- Comprehensive Examination: Writing Studies

ANDREA and MARLON's Wedding
"Beautiful Church with a large Sanctuary that can be decorated in anyway possible. The lighting is a bit dim so plan accordingly when it comes to photography. There is also a smaller chapel for a smaller group of people if necessary."
Wynne and David's Wedding
"Pastor Jonathan Smith is a wonderful friend, pre-marital counsellor and officiant. He also led the praise & worship songs during our wedding ceremony (he's musically talented too). His wedding message touched many of our guests about the love of Christ. He's the type of pastor that you love to listen to and not feel that you are being "preached at". His relationship and love for God is reflective in his messages. He is now leading the Evangel Pentecostal Church in Montreal, we're sad to see him go, but happy he is touching the lives of people in Montreal."

Most Millennials Rent
More Millennials are renting than buying in the Rochester market. A study by Harvard University found 41 percent of adults ages 25 to 34 own homes in the Rochester. But 52 percent of renters could afford a mortgage.
"I can pick up and move at a moment's notice and I don't have to bear this financial burden," said Melissa Yepes, 26.
"Pretty much lack of commitment I would say and the ability to move if I wanted to," said Justin Guse.
Millennials have many other reasons for not wanting to buy: student loan debt, tight access to credit and lifestyle choices.
Nationally, the number of first-time homebuyers fell 22 percent between 2001 and 2011. First-time homebuyers typically make up 40 percent of the housing market, but it's now 38 percent.
"If you don't have first-time homebuyers who have purchased, then those who have purchased their first home five to ten years ago, they're going to have a more difficult time selling," said Rochester real estate agent Mark Siwiec, who has noticed fewer young buyers.
Meantime, local developers are putting up apartments in trendy neighborhoods where Millennials want to live. Those neighborhoods usually have a shortage of affordable homes for sale.
"I currently live at the Village Gates loft. I love that updated modern look. Rochester, unfortunately, doesn't have that modern style and so the time being I'm just going to keep renting," said Yepes.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Another day, another Snowden document released by the Guardian. But this one involves Israeli intelligence, which should guarantee an extra frisson of outrage, especially given the context: starting in 2009, the NSA began to routinely hand over raw data—some of which includes surveillance of U.S. citizens—to the Israeli SIGINT National Unit (INSU).
The memo that confirmed this arrangement is crystal clear that Israeli use of NSA data must be "consistent with the requirements placed upon NSA by U.S. law and Executive Order to establish safeguards protecting the rights of U.S. persons under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution." There follow numerous paragraphs setting out the rules of the road, which basically say that Israel isn't permitted to use this data to target U.S. persons in any way. Whether this comforts you probably depends on whether you think Israel takes these rules seriously, or whether it was strictly a wink-wink-nudge-nudge sort of arrangement, where everyone knows perfectly well that once it has its hands on this stuff the Israelis will use it any way they please. It's not as if they're famous for their reluctance to spy on Americans, after all. In fact, another document seen by the Guardian noted that "A NIE [National Intelligence Estimate] ranked them as the third most aggressive intelligence service against the US."
As for me, I'm just going to straight-up admit that this stuff is coming too fast and furious for me to truly digest it all. On the one hand, it's not as if it comes as any surprise that we share intelligence with friendly countries. On the other hand, raw, unminimized intelligence? With a country whose previous efforts to spy on America are pretty well known? I honestly have no idea how seriously to take the promises in this memo that NSA's raw data will never, ever be used to target Americans, cross our hearts and hope to die. I wonder if NSA deliberately inserts test cases in the data they hand over just to find out if INSU reports them back, as they're supposed to?
For now, then, I'll just highlight the part of the memo below. Note that Israel is allowed to hold files that contain the identities of U.S. persons for a year. But files that contain the identities of government officials? Incinerate on contact and salt the earth behind them. Priorities, priorities.

Boys swimming: Blattner leads Heights to second place in 5A
TOPEKA It wasnt anything technical Bryce Blattner did to bounce back from a somewhat disappointing preliminaries performance during the Class 5-1A swimming finals.
He didnt fine-tune a kick, tweak a stroke or change suits.
Instead, the Heights junior just made sure he ate better.
To be honest, I just didnt eat enough breakfast I just had one bowl of cereal, Blattner said of his sluggish prelim performance. Today, I ate a better breakfast and when I got in warmups, I felt a lot better. I just came out and swam and I wanted to solidify myself as the best in the state.
Blattner certainly fed that notion with his showing Saturday at Capitol Federal Natatorium. The Falcon had a hand in three gold medals in leading Heights to the first team trophy in program history as the Falcons finished runnerup to Miege (261-242).
I would have never thought it coming in here my freshman year, said Blattner, who won the 200 individual medley and was on the Falcons two winning relays (200 medley and 400 freestyle). I was thinking more individual and relay success. I never thought a team trophy would come out of this.
Going into the state meet, Blattner had the top time in 5-1A in the individual medley by more than six seconds, 1:55.26. But he didnt come close to that time in Fridays prelims, managing just a 1:59.15.
In Saturdays final, however, Blattner was back to form. He bolted to a quick lead on top qualifier Kevin McGowan of Shawnee Heights and never relinquished it, winning by more than four seconds in 1:54.10.
A second individual gold eluded Blattner, but only barely. Battling defending champion Jon Lavalle of Maize South for the title in the 100 backstroke, Blattner was side by side the entire way before Lavalle nudged just ahead at the end to defend his title in 51.52, .44 ahead of Blattner.
I knew that coming in and it means a lot to beat him because I didnt have much left today because I was pretty tired from yesterday, Lavalle said. Honestly, he was so close to me I had no idea if I was going to win. Usually with peripherals, you can tell where they are, but I had no idea where he was. I knew with Bryce coming down from 6A it was going to be tough to defend, but Id rather win like that 100 times over than have it easy.
Blattner was joined on the winning 200 medley relay by Creighton Sanders, Dawson Gantenbein and Dylan Jensen with the foursome coming up .42 seconds off the state-meet record with their winning time of 1:38.64. Gantenbein, Jensen, Blattner and Dillon Cullinan teamed to win the 400 freestyle relay in 3:16.89.
Gantenbein added a runner-up finish in the 100 butterfly (53.08) and third in the 50 freestyle (22.20), Jensen was fourth in the 50 free (22.41) and 100 freestyle (49.79), Cullinan was fifth in the 200 freestyle (1:52.09) and Sanders was seventh in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.57). The Falcons also got a fifth from diver Drew McCellan.
Rocket history Three years ago, Rose Hill began its program. Saturday, the Rockets got their first state champion.
Actually, two.
Gavin Smith upheld his position as top qualifier in the 100 butterfly to become Rose Hills first state champion. He was quickly joined by freshman teammate Noah Baden, who was an upset winner in the 100 breaststroke.
It means a lot to me, my coach and our school, Smith said of making history and helping Rose Hill tie for fourth in the team standings with Maize South.
Smith was the favorite to win the 100 butterfly after qualifying more than a second and a half faster than Heights Gantenbein. But coming straight off the medal stand after his runner-up finish in the 50 freestyle, Smith rushed to the starting blocks and didnt get his cap tightly on his head and midway through the race it came off.
It wasnt nearly as distracting as Gantenbeins presence in the next lane, but Smith overcame both to get the milestone victory.
I felt it gradually coming off and going over my face, said Smith, who won in 53.08, just .22 ahead of Gantenbein. When I was coming back, I saw it right in the middle of the lane and I went right over it.
Baden, meanwhile, admitted hed given himself about a 30-percent chance of winning the breaststroke after qualifying third. But neck and neck with defending champion Will Smith of Carroll coming down the final 25, Baden was able to pull ahead and won by more than a second in 1:00.01.
Im pretty surprised right now, Baden said. All of the hard work Ive put in, working on the technique I need, really paid off.
Smith nearly added a third gold for the Rockets, but came up just short in the 50 free duel with Mieges Jack Wirtz after the two had posted identical top qualifying times. Wirtz won in 21.86, just edging Smiths 21.99.
Baden and Smith were all-state picks along with Heights Blattner, Gantenbein and Jensen, Maize Souths Lavalle and Jacob Evraets and Independents Richard Zirkle, who was runner-up of Haydens John-Martin Schmidt the swimmer of the meet in the 200 freestyle.
Clemons delivers After qualifying first in the Class 6A 200 individual medley for the second straight year, Maizes Christopher Clemons was determined not to let history repeat itself any further. Last year, the Eagle wasnt able to back it up in the finals, finishing second.
Saturday, Clemons avenged that loss in a way. He didnt beat the guy who got him last year, but instead fought off a trio of challengers to win in 1:53.41.
I knew I had to get out strong, keep going on the back and breast because I knew Nate (Pirner of Wichita East) was going to be coming up and then in the freestyle I just had to bring it home, Clemons said. All I knew is I took it out fast and was able to bring it home. The end result was great.
Clemons also had qualified first in the 100 butterfly, but couldnt add a second title. Free State freshman Jordan Portela, who earned 6A swimmer of the meet honors, snagged the title in 50.79 while Clemons slipped to third behind Washburn Rurals John Fritsch (51.43), finishing in 51.75.
Maize also got a runner-up finish from Preston Barley in the 200 freestyle, who also finished behind Portela after qualifying first. Portela won in 1:41.53 and Barley was next in 1:43.52.
Defending champion East came up empty in the gold-medal hunt, but still came away with a trophy. The Blue Aces took third with 282 points, trailing champion Blue Valley North (312.5) and SM East (301).
East got 14 top-eight finishes, led by a runner-up finish from Brandon Shinsato in the 100 backstroke. Shinsato challenged Washburn Rurals Nick Badsky the entire way but couldnt quite knock off the top-seeded Junior Blue, finishing in 52.01, just .23 off Badskys winning mark of 51.78.

Working with capsules of dye just a few billionths of a metre in diameter, researchers at University of Toronto and the advanced optical microscopy facility at Toronto's Princess Margaret Hospital have created a new strategy for encrypting photographs, signatures and fingerprints on security documents.
"This technology will give security or customs authorities the confidence that documents are not fake," says U of T chemistry professor Eugenia Kumacheva, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Advanced Polymer Materials. "It gives a very high level of data encryption and is relatively cheap to produce."
A thin film of polymer material is produced from tiny three-layer capsules comprising three different dyes, Kumacheva explains. Each layer is sensitive to light at a particular wavelength – ultraviolet, visible or infrared. Using high-intensity irradiation, Kumacheva uses differing wavelengths to encrypt several different patterns onto a security document. To the naked eye, the identification document (a passport or smart card, for example) might reveal a photograph, but under other detection devices could reveal signatures or fingerprints.
The technology could offer a speedy alternative to waiting in long lineups at security checkpoints or government offices, says Kumacheva, who has secured a patent on the technology. A paper on the technology, which she says could be available within five years, was presented at a recent Particles 2003 meeting in Toronto.

Reporting by Arthur Tokpah, ChildFund Guinea
ChildFund Guinea's staff met with Mamadou Aly Diallo, coordinator of the Denkadi Federation of Dabola, a local partner organization that has provided support with distribution of goats, sheep and other items to 135 families living in need in Guinea. The goats were purchased by ChildFund supporters in the Real Gifts catalog. Here is an interview with Diallo (pictured at left):
Please tell us about this project.
Diallo: We participated in a project that allowed us to support 700 children with school supplies and 135 families with goats and sheep for breeding; fertilizers, seeds and insecticides for gardening, and we also provide household latrines.
What benefit will the goats and sheep give these families?
Diallo: Families that receive goats have the potential to improve their lives. We thought it was beneficial to focus on this potential by providing them with the necessary skills, knowledge and animals that will permit them to take charge of their future.
In our communities, the populations are basically local farmers. Those who have the means purchase cattle that they use to cultivate land on a large scale, yield more products and generate more income. But poorer families cannot afford to rent or buy cattle.
However, there is a barter system that exists in these communities, giving people the opportunity to exchange goats or sheep for cattle; at least four sheep or goats equal one cow. Nevertheless, the idea behind providing goats and sheep to families is not limited to obtaining cattle. In a short time period, they can cultivate a herd of goats or sheep, which are easier to sell in local markets for quick income, allowing them to gain confidence and recognition in their villages. That's why we thought that goats and sheep could be a solution for the short or long term.
How did the project work?
In 2013, we identified 135 extremely poor families who use traditional tools and bare hands to do their farming work, have only two small meals a day and whose children are not enrolled in school but rather work on their farms. Initially we provided a total of 200 animals (140 sheep and 60 goats) to 100 families (one pair per family). Later in September, the remaining 35 families received 140 sheep for breeding (two pairs per family).
Before delivering the animals to the families, the Federation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Animal Husbandry. They immunized these animals and administered de-wormers.
What is the current state of the first 200 animals given to families?
Diallo: According to the Department of Animal Husbandry, 75 percent of the animals have reproduced. We are told that the children of these families play happily with the young animals, cherish them and also learn to care for them. We are hopeful that in a few years' time, these families will be financially independent enough to plow their land, pay school tuition for their children and meet their basic needs.

Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to giving back.
And today, we will be doing our part by trying to reach a goal of providing bicycles to 1,000 girls who live in rural villages in Sri Lanka and India — so they can continue their path toward education and economic independence.
In developing countries the world over, girls are up at the crack of dawn, getting ready to leave for school. They have to be, because their morning ritual includes a long, long walk — two miles, three miles or more.
A Year Ago
In Sri Lanka, Sanuja's trek to school is a gravel road through a deep wilderness, especially scary in the dark. But she has no choice if she is to take advantage of the evening classes her school offers to help children make up ground lost while Sri Lanka's schools were closed during the recent civil conflict. So, Sanuja leaves the class early or skips it entirely to be home before dark.
In rural India, snakes or scorpions often block Shakuntala's path to school. Sometimes streams rush down from the hillsides and across the way during the monsoons. Her classmate Hirabai once faced a pack of wild boars.
Both girls remember stopping to help friends who had hurt themselves on the poorly maintained roads, and being late for it. At their school, when anyone is late for any reason, they are made to stand outside of class for an hour.
Sanuja's attendance at school and her special classes is now regular and punctual, and her grades have improved dramatically — with the gift of a Dream Bike.
Shakuntala, who wants to become a teacher and support her widowed mother, and Hirabai, who aspires to be a police officer, feel much more confident that they'll be able to achieve their dreams, thanks to the gift of a Dream Bike.
As we focus on giving gifts during the holiday season, consider the girls of India and Sri Lanka who could live happier lives with greater educational and job opportunities, better health and economic freedom. Donate a Dream Bike.

Are you planning to hit the doorbuster sales on Black Friday (or, as these events creep into Thanksgiving, Gray Thursday)? You may already have your game plan: dashing first to the electronics department, or maybe toward the toy section, depending on what you're after. We want you to take a minute and consider buying some necessities for a child who won't get a video game or an electric scooter for Christmas. She may be hoping for a mattress instead.
ChildFund International has its own gift guide for people in need around the world, with prices that can fit almost any budget. Plus, these gifts will make you — and others — feel good for much longer than a month. We've prepared some comparisons:
For $40, you can buy a Blu-ray player. Or for $35, you can purchase a "Mama Kit" for a pregnant woman in Uganda. This gift helps ensure that she will have a safer delivery with supplies that she can use during and after the birth of her child.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 2" is the most popular video game in the country right now. It costs about $60. A mattress, which can keep two small siblings from sleeping on a dirt floor in Ethiopia or Uganda, costs $39. The bedding is made locally, so you're also helping the community's economy.
Some of you may buy a piece of jewelry, say, a pair of diamond stud earrings, which are about $200 on sale. Consider feeding 30 orphans for a week in India. Cost: $120.
Furby is back, and it's one of the most popular toys for this holiday season. These robotic plush toys are $60. For the same cost, you can purchase real animals that can help a family: six chickens for $58, or a pair of rabbits for $59. Children in Kenya raise the baby rabbits, which they sell. Often the money goes toward school supplies or other important needs.
Of course, you may be considering some high-ticket items. A tablet, perhaps, or a television? The newest version of the iPad costs about $500 on sale. A dairy cow costs $497, providing nourishment and income to a family in Ethiopia, the Philippines or Sri Lanka. A wheelchair for a child in Ethiopia costs $398.
A television can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,500 for a top-of-the-line LED TV with a 55-inch screen. Consider putting some money toward a hand pump that will provide water for an entire Indian village. Price tag: $1,429.
We at ChildFund want you to have a wonderful holiday season, with plenty of time with loved ones and good cheer. As you are giving thanks for your good fortune, we ask that you consider those who are in need. For more donation suggestions, please visit ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope online catalog.
By Loren Pritchett, ChildFund Writer
Attention early holiday shoppers! (And if that's not you, we totally understand). But if you are the type who likes to get a jump on things, we wanted to let you in on the news: The 2012 edition of ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope catalog is now online and in the mail.
You'll find hundreds of meaningful gifts in this year's catalog including clean water, warm clothing, school supplies, medical needs and a barnyard of farm animals.
They're not usually gift wrapped and you can't find them at just any store, but goats are one of the most requested items in many of the countries where ChildFund works. Providing nutritious milk, fertilizer and a source of family income, goats are a valuable asset to families and communities. ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope catalog makes it possible to send this essential gift and many more to families in need. As an early shopper you will have peace of mind knowing that your shopping is done and your timely gifts are answering a family's most urgent needs.
Honor your loved ones with a gift ordered before Dec. 15, and they will receive a personalized card announcing your generosity. For gift catalog orders of $100 or more, placed by Dec. 31, ChildFund will deliver a free mosquito net in your honor. Take advantage of these specials, order early!
Once you order – we take care of the rest! Each item in the catalog has been specifically requested by children and families who live in ChildFund program areas. ChildFund staff in each country will purchase and then deliver your gift. You can rest assured that each item is delivered and used as described in the catalog. In many cases of farm animal purchases, ChildFund will even provide gift recipients with additional training in animal husbandry to maximize the value of your donation.
For children in our programs, these gifts are an opportunity for a brighter, healthier future. We invite you to preview the catalog and purchase a gift of love and hope that will help change a child's life.

Hi -
First, I wish to thank the many, many fellow beekeepers that responded with suggests, words of support and ideas for research. I was unable to take the time to respond to all of them, but I did read each and every posting and got LOTS of good ideas.
Today, I charged ahead to get results.
I have spent many, many hours researching the city and state statutes and codes for Nevada and Las Vegas. Absolutely NOTHING in any of them that would restrict or ban my keeping a couple of hives in the back yard. I found some newspaper articles about a couple of other bee keepers, one from about 10 years ago saying he was the LAST registered bee keeper in Las Vegas, and that the city had given him an extension until November to move his hives from his yard. This was from 2000 pr 2001. Another article, dated two years ago, talked about another beekeeper, in the same part of town, that loved working with his bees and how the honey was for sale at a local bakery, which just happened to be 3 blocks from me. I went over and spoke with the owner of the store, who no longer had any honey as Jeremy the beekeeper had lost his hives to mites. "But do you have any honey you want to sell??" was the response. I left my name and number and he said he would try and get in contact with Jeremy to call me. Nothing back as of today.
I also spoke with several friends here. I was involved in political work for a number of years and still have a few friends, and I also have a friend who is the editorial page editor for one of the local papers. One of my longest term friends is friends with the city councilman for this district, and he suggested I call him. He raises birds such as pheasants on his place in Utah and Rick thought he should be open minded about this.
I also decided to call the code enforcer who wrote us up. She was not in the office until yesterday, but I did speak with her, for a half hour, and got nothing but mindless twitter from her. I simply asked where in the code it said I couldn't have bees, and her response was that you just can't have them. I found out she had written up almost everyone along the street for something the same day. Yup, I did have a couple of flats on a car in the driveway, a neighbor did have two vehicles parked in her driveway for one etc etc etc. But she seems to think it was a major crime wave and all of us were guilty. I think she is just trying to justify her job. Anyway, she denied saying that she told my wife that we could keep them in a greenhouse, because "your bees could get out and do their bee things" Yes, she actually said they would be doing their bee things. I kept asking where it said I could not have them, and she kept coming up with "you can't raise kangaroos in the front yard" (I have the city code covering that) and that you couldn't store plutonium at home (I have the city and state codes covering that) but could not come up with anything covering bees other than 'you can't have them, we had a complaint, a child might get stung." She said her supervisor would call me, but of course he did not.
Today, I called my city councilman, who was somewhat charged up in his voice. He gave me a number and the name of the city attorney, and told me to tell him he told me to call and get it taken care of, and if he doesn't take care of it, call him right back. Wow! I felt good for a change. The city attorney was not in, but his assistant was, who took my info and said it should not be a problem and he would call me back. Several minutes later, he did and said my bees were fine and that he would have the head of code enforcement call me. A short time later, she did call and tell me she just had a few questions. "Where my bees housed or were they just living wild?" I assured her they were in commercial wooden industry standard hives (from Darren Orr on this forum, who I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for hive bodies and such) A pause of a few seconds and she said "You can keep your bees."
I assured her that the other few minor things were being taken care of and would be finished by Monday, and was told that she would speak with the code enforcer that wrote us up and take care of it. She wanted to make sure I had her number and name 'in case you have any further problems." Yes, I now have names and numbers to call 'just in case." And yes, I did call my city councilman back and thank him for his help as well.
Everyone here was very supportive and helpful - what a great forum! I hope to be able to spend much more time here. We all have so much to face these days, with mites, colony collapses and much more. Some don't realize how important our small friends our for our very existance. I raised my older children and they got to see our hives, and my young children and grandkids will be raised the same way. We will be putting in heirloom vegetables next year, and along with our fruit trees, will need the bees of course.
Thanx again for all your help

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Lisa Li, web analyst at Disney Parks and Resorts, while not in a management position, has harassed her coworkers several times for a status report to her which she totally has no right of asking. Such demeanor reflects her badly. Especially with her malicious intention to fail her coworker simply because the coworker didn't reply to her message quick enough due to attending meetings. Working with such personality sounds too risky and terrible, isn't it?
Also when a coworker has accidentally discovered some mistake she made and was just trying to confirm, she immediately tried to shut the coworker up by saying that is not the point to look into and direct the coworker somewhere else.
The fake and ever narrow minded Lisa Li, were also ignoring a task for almost a year even the client manager has requested it done for numerous times. The company performance guardian against other coworkers without the management title, why can't she perform herself?
Watch out for fake and non kind workers like Lisa Li near you. Save your life, you never know when you did something or nothing that will trigger her button to go after you.

FCC Pledges $300M USD for Carriers, Delivering 3G/4G to Uncovered Areas
Jason Mick
May 3, 2012 8:06 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Program will push expansion into uncovered, unprofitable regions, but is it worth the big sticker?
At a time when the federal government's spending is being increasingly scrutinized, the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
has announced a new plan to pour almost a third of a billion dollars into the telecom industry. The handouts will be delivered to U.S. telecommunications firms which bring 3G service within 2 years or 4G service within 3 years to underserved/uncovered regions.
Technically the new funding isn't all that new. The creation of the "The Mobility Fund" marks the
long awaited, long overdue revamp
of the Universal Service Fund (USF), a Clinton-era program that was designed to
increase land line phone service to rural areas
of the U.S., which carriers refused to serve due to undesirable profit potential.
Today with
land lines going the way of the
T. rex
, The Mobility Fund represents the USF's digital makeover.
The fund's targeted regions included large swatches of land in the American Rockies, including large parts of Idaho, Nevada and Washington state. Alaska is another target for wireless expansion. Under the FCC rules carriers will "bid" on the grant contracts in a
reverse auction
. The contract will be rewarded to the carrier who agrees to provide the lowest cost service to customers if multiple carriers submit proposals for a region.
Bidding will run from June 27 to July 11, with the FCC announcing winners at the end of the $300M USD in targeted Phase I funding grants. Winners must provide service to 75 percent road miles in the "census tract" for the region.
Just because the new plan doesn't create new government spending doesn't mean that its big sticker price won't provoke controversy and debate. Some question whether the government should use taxpayers money while "playing wireless Santa Claus".
The new FCC Mobility Fund will reallocate existing dollars to pay for mobile network expansion in neglected areas such as the picturesque highways of Alaska. [Image Source: Planetware]
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski counters such criticisms, stating, "For too many, dead zones in mobile coverage are too common, and today's action will help close those gaps. By using market-based mechanisms, we'll ensure more gaps in mobile coverage are closed, and that every dollar is spent wisely and efficiently."
Under the plan, $500M USD will be provided each year in coming years to boost deployment and service speeds. The FCC has also promised $50M USD to provide low-cost wireless services to Native American reservations.
Wireless technology is a
key objective for President Obama
, who has sought to overhaul outdated funding programs and free up spectrum via
repurposing of government channels
special auctions

NOAA marks the best whale watching sites on coast
Monterey Bay topping the list for activity
MONTEREY, Calif. - NOAA's Office of National Marine Sanctuaries and The Whale Trail announced new coastal sites in California where the public can view orcas and other marine mammals from shore, like the Monterey Bay.
Viewing sites near San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Monterey will be established and outfitted with interpretative signs describing the types of whales and other wildlife that can be seen at each location as well as information about the area's distinguishing characteristics.
The sites will be added to the Whale Trail website.
The inaugural viewing sites include Point Reyes, Lighthouse Point in Santa Cruz, and Point Lobos State Reserve in Monterey County. Additionally, the Crissy Field visitor center for Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, Aquarium of the Bay in San Francisco, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary's (MBNMS) Exploration Center in Santa Cruz, and MBNMS Coastal Discover Center in San Simeon will also be added to the Whale Trail website as venues where the public can learn about whales and other marine mammals.
This year has been a particularly good one for whale activity, and whale-watching companies say they are doing quite well this year.Map: NOAA adds California spots to Pacific Whale Trail

Walking distance to the beach. I work full-time in Newcasle and have a dog who is predominately outside and four pet rabbits.
The House is close to the Medowie Shops, and there is a Cafe and a Gym closer than that. Smallish Kitchen. 2 door closet. Room isnt furnished per sey, but there are some spare things that could go in there untill you decide to put your own things in there. A mattress, a drawer, a little TV and a few little bits and bobs could go in there fine. The area is peaceful to a point, and the backyard is rather lush. Its a good spot to sit and read or what have you. Portable Air Con manages to do the house pretty well, and the laminate floors mean no noisy vacuums. Internet is slow, but it will manage Netflix and Stan No problem, as well as most online games. Parking in the Driveway is unfortunately the only way to park, as I need the one space garage for my own vehicle, a Motor Scooter. There is a bus stop very close by thatll easily take you to Raymond Terrace or the Air Port, or even in to Town.
On bus route to newey. Walk to town. Easy going environment.
Situated in Stockton, the only suburb of Newcastle on the northern side of the Hunter River. I have 2 bedrooms for rent for $120 per week or a granny flat on the lower level of the house for $170 per week. The granny flat has a kitchenette and its own bathroom. The house has a big backyard with a mango tree and a small veggie patch where I am currently growing pumpkins and passionfruit. Only a 2 minute walk from a 32km beach and a 5 min ferry ride into the centre of Newcastle. Takes about 15min to drive to Newcastle uni. I have a border collie, however, the lease only allows 1 dog to live here so unfortunately pets not allowed.
The View?! What can I say?! Never tire of sunset and looking straight across at the brewery and Christchurch cathedral as the town lights up! ❤ Two story three bedroom house filled with gorgeous 60's and 70's vintage, mainly Parker furniture. One bedroom upstairs and two down with a cozy lounge room and full entertainment system and great communal area/ open plan lounge/ dining / kitchen area that boasts the best view of Newcastle. Off from the communal area are also a massive separate laundry, bathroom and toilet. One downstairs bedroom is yours and the other is set up as a basic gym complete with matting, floor to ceiling mirrors, sit-up bench, hand weights and Olympic bar. Great for yoga, stretching and some basic strength training if you are so inclined. The other bedroom is the quietest in the house with a window to the quiet and protected backyard. Right next to the ferry wharf so you have 3 ways to get into town or to the uni, drive, ferry, or bus, all at your front door! I am away almost every second weekend and work a lot so if you are looking for a party house skip my profile please, but if you are looking for a bit of a sanctuary to come home to please contact me. Rent etc is negotiable. I am house proud and would like somebody who likes to help keep the place tidy.

Two gals one dog in Carrington looking for a housemate. We have a cute little cottage in cute little suburb which doesn't look like much from the front but is a little charmer on the inside.

The first (and I think the last) time I had empanadas was about 10 years ago. They were made by a Venezuelan grandma. It was after church on Sunday night, and she was in town visiting her family who were still relatively new in the community. They invited about 20 of us over for empanadas. It's still amazing to me how she was able to just keep hot empanadas coming out.
I promise the fact that the family became dear friends has nothing to do with that empanada party. But, it did make me want to learn to make them myself. For some reason, I never tried until now.
I used this empanada tutorial. The recipe for the corn-based dough is on the pdf attached to the tutorial (at the bottom of her page). It's very similar to the dough and tutorial in Viva Vegan! Be sure to use the Columbian/Venezuelan masarepa and not tortilla masa harina.
I opted for using my tortilla press instead of rolling out the dough. I think either would work, but the tortilla press made it pretty easy work. Also, the tip about using a bowl to seal off the edges of the empanada instead of doing it by hand/with a fork…brilliant! Every empanada was perfectly sealed. Plus it gave me enough extra dough to make up three extra empanadas which I filled with mozzarella style Daiya. I ended up with a few ooey gooey cheesy empanadas that would be perfect with a bowl of tomato soup.
For frying, I put about 1/2-3/4″ in a large cast iron skillet. It wasn't enough to cover the empanadas, but since you turn them over anyway, it worked great. They took about 3 minutes on the first side to reach golden and 1-2 minutes on the second side (each batch got a little shorter as the oil heated up). The Daiya-only empanadas took about 1/2 the time.
For the main batch of empanadas, I made up my own filling of plantains and kale. I'm posting it here, because it was good. But, I'd change it up some next time. Without the dipping sauce it was a little bit dry. I think I would like it better with more kale and onions and fewer plantains. I would probably also cut the plantains into a finer dice. (I'd also like to try a lightly spicy jackfruit version…yummmm)
I was pretty careful not to overfill so the empanadas didn't tear open. I used a scant tablespoon, but I think they could have stood just a little more filling. That would have been easier to do with the smaller diced plantains and more of the flexible kale.
Plantain-Kale Empanada Filling
2 tsp oil
1/4 cup finely diced onions
1/2 tsp crushed garlic
2 ripe plantains, diced
2 cups finely chopped kale (stems removed)
3/8 cup water
In a large skillet, on medium heat, saute the onions in the oil until onions are translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about 1 minute more until garlic starts to brown. Add plantains. Continue to saute, stirring regularly, until plantains are lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in kale and add water. Cook just until water has cooked off and kale is wilted, 1-2 minutes. When the water is gone, if the kale has not yet wilted, just add a little extra water and continue cooking until it is.
Dipping Sauce
I used a little maple syrup thinned out with water and Chipotle Tabasco sauce to taste. It doesn't take much of the sauce to make a great sweet-hot punch.

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, "check emissions system" in Cadillac Engine Discussion; I have a 1996 STS with Northstar and whenever I accelerate quickly or "give it" to pass a car for ...

"check emissions system"
I have a 1996 STS with Northstar and whenever I accelerate quickly or "give it" to pass a car for instance, when I come to a stop, the "check emissions" warning comes on as well as the service engine light, and the car stalls. I have to put it in neutral and re start the car. It will then idle high and come back down to normal idle. This will continue to happen until the car has been parked for some time and then runs fine until I give it gas as described above. I was told that it was a "PVR" valve that should be removed and cleaned to alleviate the problem. Is that the correct name of the valve, or am I looking in the wrong direction completely? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: "check emissions system"
I think you mean EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve. That is a possibility, but if you pull the DTC's, you'll find out for sure.
Re: "check emissions system"
Hi Ranger, I thought that it was the EGR but my friend said that it was the PVR which I believe is a part in the Northstar engine but I can't find either. There was a diagram posted here somwhere showing where the EGR was located but I can't find it now. Do you know where that valve is located, and if it's possible to clean it and replace it? I was told that a mutual friend has the same car and he removed that valve and cleaned it out and the car worked just fine afterward. I opened the hood and found something that looked like the EGR but I want to make sure that I'm not going to screw something up by removing it incorrectly.
Is it located toward the back of the engine on the right hand side?
Thanks for all your help.
Re: "check emissions system"
Never heard of a PVR.
There might be a tutorial in the Tech Tips section on cleaning the EGR. It is a black "can" with an electrical connector on top. It is between the master cylinder and the TB. It definitely can be cleaned. Just did one on my wifes '96 Bonneville the other day. Hold it upright as much as possible so as not to let any solvent run into the "can". It can destroy the insulating varnish on the windings. Clean it till the pintle valve operates freely and does not stick in any position.

Stepping over Dollars to Pick up Nickels
Posted by: Charles Mizrahi (IP Logged)
Date: September 27, 2012 01:41PM
A few months ago a large multinational company borrowed money at rates that, I would assume, even its decision makers chuckled about.
European consumer goods manufacturer Unilever (UL), which owns such household brands as Hellmann's® and Lipton® Iced Tea, sold five-year notes with a coupon of 0.85%. Just to put this in perspective: U.S. Treasury notes — the safest investment in the world and guaranteed by the U.S. government — are currently yielding 0.75% at five years (Aug. 14, 2012).
Investors were willing to lend money to Unilever at only 10 basis points more than they would lend money to the U.S. government.
Investors too are concerned about the return of their assets instead of a return on their assets. Instead of being lenders and receiving such absurdly low yields, why wouldn't these same investors rather be owners?
Buying shares of UL makes much more sense to me. Owning pieces or shares of a business gives investors part ownership of a business that has the ability to grow and allows them to share in the upside. There is no upside for lenders. The most they will make is 0.85% per year for the next five years. That's it.
Now here's what really doesn't make sense to me.
When inflation, currently 1.7%, is factored into the return, a 0.85% yield turns out to be a real rate of negative 0.85%! Each year the owners of those five-year notes will see the buying power of their investment dollars decrease, and after five years they would have lost more than 4.5% of their purchasing power. And that assumes that inflation stays at 1.7% for the next five years.
I don't know how likely it is that inflation will stay at these levels when you consider the rise in grains and food prices. Over the next few months, higher prices are in store because of the Midwestern droughts.
That same investor could buy shares of UL, receive a 3.3% dividend, and share in the growth of the business. True, the price of the stock could go down and the investor would lose money if he or she needed to sell. But what is a given is that Unilever noteholders would not receive a percentage point more than 0.85% for five years.
I would rather take my chances with the possibility of making a 3.3% dividend yield, plus any price appreciation of the stock, than I would a guaranteed real return that is negative.
Here is a list of companies that have strong balance sheets, trading at a discount to my estimate of intrinsic value, and pay a dividend greater than 1.7%:
I can't tell you where stocks, interest rates or the economy will be five years from now. In fact no one can. But I would bet dollars to donuts that owners of financially sound companies that were purchased at discounted prices will fare much better than the lenders.

Nervous Investors Love Treasurys The Most Since February: JPM Survey
Treasurys are winning back the love again after a bruising October.
The latest J.P. Morgan client survey shows 23% of global investors say they are long Treasurys, the highest since February and up from 15% a week ago.
Six percent say they are short, down from 11% a week earlier. That results in the most investors being net long since Dec 6.
A majority of the investors are still undecided – 72% say they are neutral on Treasurys, down from 74% a week ago.
At last check, 10-year Treasury yields were at 2.02%, after earlier dipping as low as 1.96%, their lowest since early October.

Antonio Senzatela knows exactly what he's going to do with the baseball from his first major league win — place it on his mother's grave in Venezuela.
"A gift to my mom," said Senzatela, who lost his mother to cancer last July.
Senzatela allowed a leadoff homer and then settled down to throw seven sharp innings and help the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 on Tuesday night.
"He's got a good heartbeat. His pulse is good. He competes," manager Bud Black said. "He's focused and always in a pretty good space."
