Congress is nearing an impasse over how to deal with the overwhelming flow of unaccompanied minors across the Mexican border. Failure to address this heartbreaking humanitarian crisis before the August recess will stand not only as a political failure, but as a moral one for a Congress that is already among the least productive in history.
For months now, thousands of children have been choosing to risk their lives with human smugglers to come into the U.S. illegally rather than remain in gang-run neighborhoods in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. The problem is not how to catch the kids; Border Patrol agents say they turn themselves in at the border hoping for protection, often under the misguided notion that they will get permission to stay in the United States.
The problem is what to do with the 57,000 children who are already here (and those who are still coming), a process governed by the 2008 Wilberforce law that requires border agents to take them into custody and within 72 hours turn them over to the Department of Health and Human Services until a hearing can be held. The system, however, is overwhelmed -- housing facilities are filled beyond capacity, lawyers are unavailable, and some kids have complained about mistreatment or lack of food and medical care. The Obama administration has rightly acknowledged that the federal government should increase its capacity to process the children through immigration courts. That will mean spending money.
The administration has asked for $3.7 billion to increase border security and expand immigration courts while safely caring for the children. The administration also said, but didn't offer specifics, that it wants Congress to give it more flexibility to return those who are unlikely to win petitions to stay. Republicans have been talking about giving the administration less money and amending the 2008 Wilberforce law. Democrats are willing to spend more than the Republicans, but they don't want to match Obama's request either; they would leave the 2008 law alone. These are substantive differences, but not unbridgeable ones.
Enhancing border security is a separate issue, especially since interdiction is not the problem at the moment, though there may be an argument that agents are so overwhelmed by the influx of children that they can't effectively tend to their regular duties.
How to process the children, though, is not a fight over philosophy. The minors are in the United States; they must be dealt with humanely under applicable U.S. laws. Failing to provide the money to do so for the sake of political gamesmanship is an abrogation of Congress' responsibility.

Obama thinks if he makes a joke about everything it will go away.Maybe he should just walk away.
He wants Republican's to stop hatin' all the time,but Democrat's can hate all they want. Now there is fairness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh oh,now we have an illegal immigrant center in New Mexico that has been isolated because of a chicken pox outbreak brought in by children. Now we have a facility that noone is allowed in or out. Now we have Federal agents not allowed to leave. And just think,Ebola is just a short plane ride away,or is it?
"stop hatin' all the time."
Witness teabagger advocating everyone needs to be in the low info right wing bubble.
These liberals are sick very sick , ignorant very ignorant , followers of religious beliefs like the big bang theroy, man made global warming, oil and gas are fossil fuels, that all who have 1/2 a brain know is BALONEY..You liberals need to Wake Up your part of the Problem that is destroying America... Educate yourself and stop watching main stream news ..
Face the facts, baggy - unemployment is dropping, the DOW is at record highs, the deficit has been halved, 401Ks blowing up, people can't be denied health insurance, and America's image in the world has improved. All thanks to Obama.
Do you think rape babies, fossil fuels, climate denial and billionaire tax cuts will get you in the White House, teabagger? Get your GED and let the adults talk.

Will teabaggers be congratulating Obama on the great economic news? With 10M gaining insurance, best job numbers since before Bush collapse, markets setting records and 4% GDP growth it's time for Republicans to impeach.
# Low Info Elderly Teabaggers Vote Straight Democrat
Just teabagger whining they have to compromise with the bipartisan Senate bill as has been done for 230 years.
"Obamacare is illegal"
Obamacare passed the House and Senate and signed into law by the President and upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court. Nothing to see here but a low info elderly teabagger.
The House will pass immigration reform this week,with 600 million to address the illegal children.Harry will hijack the bill by inserting what he wants into it.It will then pass the Senate,giving Obama what he wants. This will not solve any problem,it will not do anything for the children. They need to be stopped and sent back immediately,they have no rights as American's.
Funny that buzzy says it is illegal for the President to create legislation.If that were true,Obamacare is illegal,ICE agents wouldn't be complaining about not being able to deport iilegals,shall I go on.............
Funny also that he says,by law, the House holds the purse strings.They do but buzzy thinks all illegal laws this President enforces MUST be paid.Meanwhile the laws on the books are ignored.
As we all learned in civics 101 the Prez doesn't create legislation or hold the purse strings. Why is teabagger always low info?
The President never goes on vacation ... he doesn't even play golf ...the servants at Camp David forget what he looks like ...
Democrats congress-folks never go on vacation ... and they're all millionaires ... like Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi ... never ... no how
Republicans ... boy oh boy ... do they know how to party ...
Oh yeah ...
As the article states these Repubs are the laziest in history and have no time for this crisis. Republicans bags are packed for vacation and the people's business will just have to wait. Republicans spent all their time on fake scandals, shutting down the govt, impeachment talks and frivolous lawsuits and didn't leave time for any real work.

Washington Wizards Coach Randy Wittman and Senior Vice President Tommy Sheppard are flying to Poland on Friday to meet with center and free-agent-to-be Marcin Gortat, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
Earlier this week, Gortat posted a photo on his Instagram account that showed him sitting at a restaurant in Poland with a group that included Wizards assistant coach Pat Sullivan and forward Chris Singleton, who are helping Gortat with his annual basketball camp. Wittman and Sheppard are also headed over to assist with the camp during the weekend while also using the visit to touch base with their center prior to the looming free agent period.
While the Wizards aren't allowed to discuss anything money-related or negotiate a deal with Gortat or any other free agent until July 1, the trip to Poland marks the first gesture by the Wizards in expressing their desire to re-sign Gortat, who was acquired prior to last season in a trade that sent Emeka Okafor and their first-round pick in Thursday's NBA draft to Phoenix. The Suns used that pick to select Syracuse point guard Tyler Ennis at No. 18.
When asked Thursday night if he plans to contact Gortat, Trevor Ariza and any other priority free agents when the clock strikes midnight on July 1, Wizards President and General Manager Ernie Grunfeld said "I'm not going to tell you what my plan is but that's a very normal procedure that teams makes contact with players they want to deal with."
Last season, Gortat, who averaged 13.2 points and 9.5 rebounds, made $7.7 million in the final year of a five-year, $33.95 million contract he signed with Orlando in 2009. As one of the few impact starting centers on the free-agent market, Gortat is expected to draw attention from a number of teams. But with the Wizards holding the center's Bird rights, they are able to offer him a bigger contract than any other team and have a meeting like the one set for this weekend, where Washington's front office can commune with Gortat during his final days as a Wizard under his expiring contract.
Following his exit interviews last month, Gortat said the four primary factors he will consider during free agency are who the point guard is, his projected role on the team, the direction of the team and whether the front office is willing to spend money to build a championship contender. The chemistry built with all-star guard John Wall last season is something that Gortat said attracts him to the Wizards.
"I love the team here," the 30-year-old said in May. "We can have something special here for the next three, four, five years."
Gortat and Ariza are two of eight Wizards expected to enter free agency next week. Should Andre Miller be retained as expected as the team's backup point guard and Glen Rice Jr. have the team option exercised on his rookie contract, the Wizards will have seven players — Miller, Rice, John Wall, Bradley Beal, Nene, Otto Porter and Martell Webster — under contract for a combined payroll of roughly $47 million. The salary cap is projected to raise to about $63 million, granting the Wizards significant space to go after Gortat and Ariza and fill out the rest of their roster.
By trading away the No. 46 overall pick (Missouri point guard Jordan Clarkson) to the Los Angeles Lakers for just under $2 million, the Wizards left open a spot on its 15-man roster that could be used to bring in another proven veteran, a player that Grunfeld and the Wizards hope can help the team build on the expectations created by last season's playoff run.
Washington entered Thursday's draft targeting three players for their second-round pick but when the last of these prospects, power forward Dwight Powell out of Stanford, was selected just ahead of Washington with the No. 45 pick by Philadelphia, the Wizards in turn agreed to the trade with the Lakers, according to league sources. The Wizards had brought Powell in for their final set of pre-draft workouts earlier this week.
In 2009, Gortat signed an offer sheet with Dallas worth roughly $34 million for five years, but Orlando ultimately matched the offer and retained the then-restricted free agent. The Mavericks were again thought to be a potential suitor for Gortat this summer, but Wednesday's deal with New York that sent Tyson Chandler to Dallas likely dropped them out of the Gortat sweepstakes.
Note: Wizards assistant Ryan Saunders has accepted a position with the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
Saunders has been with the Wizards organization since his father, Flip, was hired as coach in 2009. He remained with the team after Randy Wittman became the head coach in January 2012.
Because of his contributions in scouting, analytics and with player development, the Wizards were unwilling to let Ryan Saunders leave last year, when Flip Saunders took over as team president and part owner of the Timberwolves.
Washington signed Ryan Saunders to a new deal, and he helped Wittman guide the Wizards to the fifth seed and a second-round playoff appearance. But in a expected move, Saunders is headed back to a better position with his father, who assumed coaching duties of the Timberwolves last month. He remained with the team through draft workouts but is moving on with his contract expiring on June 30.

Crews investigating cause of Fourth Street fire
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Columbia fire crews were still investigating what caused a fire in a home near Hickman High School on Sunday night.
Residents evacuated the house on Fourth Street around 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
According to a news release, a male resident heard his smoke alarm going off and saw smoke from the basement. He was stopped from opening to basement door by strong heat and smoke.
No one was hurt, but there is heavy smoke damage to much of the inside of the home. Damage estimates were not available Sunday night.
Fourth Street was closed for a couple of hour during the investigation.

The excuse that several of their targeted players have gotten two years when they only valued them at one is irrelevant since market value is what demand makes it not based on a predetermined assessment. Besides if your willing to pay a player 5M for a year and feel that player will improve your club, then how is a second year at the same salary going to have that much impact on the long term budget. That doesn't even take into account outfielders who signed a one year deal.
So now that almost every outfielder on the market is off, Alderson has gone from quipping about the outfield to saying the 2013 roster is going to be similar to 2012. If the Mets acknowledge that there are major holes in the outfielder and that they have money to address those issues via free agency, then aren't they acknowledging there were free agents that would have been upgrades. Therefore, if it becomes the case that nobody left would be an upgrade at their current cost, then it's an indictment of the front offices failure to properly gauge the market and make adjustments.
I do believe Ross would be a decent pickup and hope that this rumor is actually true, instead of being another wild goose chase. Ross is a decent corner outfielder and has power from the right side, I still see him more as a platoon partner but something is better then nothing...
Ross resurrected his career by hitting .267 with 22 homers and 81 RBIs last season with the Red Sox. The Mets view him as a potential everyday right fielder and an upgrade over Hairston, who is still largely regarded within the organization as a platoon player. source NY Post

|Storage Layout Questions
|Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:24:58 GMT
I'm trying to model a one-to-many set of data in which both sides of the relation may grow arbitrarily large. There are arbitrarily many FOOs. For each FOO, there are arbitrarily many BARs. Both types are modeled as an object, containing multiple fields (columns) in the application. Given a key-addressable FOO element, I'd like to be able to do range access operations on the associated BARs according to their temporal names. I wish to avoid: 1) using a super column to nest the temporal ids (or column names) within a row of the primary key, due to the memory-based limitations of super column deserialization. (and implicit compute costs that go with it) 2) keeping a separate map between the FOO type and the BAR type. 3) serializing all BAR types into the value field of each FOO-keyed, BAR-named column. Were the super column addressing more scalable, I'd see it as a natural fit. Does anybody have an elegant solution to this which I am overlooking? In the absence of ideas, I'd like some feedback on the trade-offs of the above "avoids". Jonathan

300 horses aren't hard to get out of an old 318 engine. Here's an article I wrote about some good upgrades for the venerable V8 we all love and hate. http://voices.yahoo.com/performance-mods-chrysler-318-v8-12047328.html?cat=27
318's are great, if you want more than the 300 horse mark why not install a 4" crank for awesome torque with a good set of 360 heads.. You won't be disappointed..
True, but all kinds of 'other things' come with stroking an engine, and I was going for relatively simple.
I've posted this in several places, and all sorts of folks have shared their beefy 318 build stories. Have faith in this little mill!

Scientists at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have presented a new principle for fighting bacterial infections, in other words, a new type of antibiotic, in the FASEB Journal. The new antibiotic mechanism is based on selectively blocking the thioredoxin system in the cells, which is crucial to the growth of certain bacteria. Scientists hope to be able to treat such conditions as stomach ulcers, TB and MRSA.
"Much work remains to be done, but we believe that it will be possible to use this mechanism when, for example, broad-spectrum antibiotics have proved to be inadequate", says Professor Arne Holmgren, leader of the study now being published.

@skwidrific I see you are in Centerville. I live in Fairfax, and since I don't have anywhere to work on my car besides oil changes and other routine stuff, I go to an Indy. Unfortunately in the NoVA area everything is exceptionally expensive, but I've been really happy with the service I receive at Autoscandia. They are courteous, polite, and honest and much cheaper than the dealer. Sure they are more expensive than some indy's out there but I like the service, so I'm willing to pay a little more. You might want to give them a call. Another option is Road Race Tech in Chantilly. They've done some work on my car in the past and were generally nice and knowledgeable, but to far away from me to be worth the trip.

Thank heavens I don't live in Ohio, or get tweeted by David Cameron
I heard sometime in the middle of the night (we'd left the radio on) that Obama had probably won... then a bit later that he really had won, Romney had conceded etc. I went back to sleep with a certain pleasure, or rather relief that I wouldnt have to be living on planet Romney.
And this morning it is hard to forget the lingering pleasure. Even "Thought for the Day" was an Obama broadcast. (I wondered what the nice rabbl would have said if Romney had won... did he have two scripts ready? Or did he write it all in an hour? You can listen here.)
So joy all round, but not without a few wry reflections.
First, what is it about American politicians that means they have constantly to bang on about how the USA is the greates nation in the world? In truth Obama's 'accession speech' (as the Romans would have called it) had some good bits in it, as those speeches go (democracy being messy etc). But it still had quite a lot of the 'top nation' stuff. Doesn't any one of them ever reflect what the criteria are for the world's greatest country? (I mean, why not Norway?) And that maybe part of the trouble in the world is that Americans are being brought up constantly being told that they are the greatest, simply by being American? (Usually -- as with the Roman empire -- top nation actually means, as Obama came close to saying, 'most fire power'... and that certainly excludes Norway.)
Second, isn't the electoral college thing weird? I spend hours each years explaining the Roman assembly system to students, how complicated it was, how it (either de iure or de facto) gave more weight to some voters than others. Usually I only half succeed, and they end up looking somewhat baffled by this strange version of "democracy". I think in future, I'll start with the USA.
But it all makes you think what hell it must be to be one of those privileged voters who matter.. I mean those who live in a swing state. When I was in Berkeley four years ago, during the first Obama campaign, and renting a house from a registered democrat, I was driven crazy by the democrats' constant phone calls, and that was in California for heaven's sake. Just imagine how you get battered if you live in Ohio? Must be a voter's hell. (I've complained here that the local candidates pay the average voter no attention whatsoever; the reverse must be yet worse.)
The final thing was the idea (told us with a straight face on the Today programme) that David Cameron had tweeted his congratulations to Obama. Now you would have thought that Cameron had learned his lesson about social media... but I guess that in the tweet department, it isn't him actually doing it, but some Downing St tweetmaster who see Obama getting elected and does his master's tweet business for him. But whatever -- great fan of Twitter that I am -- I dont actually much want it to be used to communication messages of state in 140 characters. Not exactly Twitter's job.
(Oh not quite the final thing.. eventually the news got found to telling us about all the other changes the US electorate had voted in, like the legalisation of the recreational use of marijuana in Colorado -- which should help the Colorado tourist trade buck the recession, if some Federal agency doesnt put a stop to it.)

Lure for older workers to stay
Page Tools
The Government, faced with warnings of a looming skills shortage and the long-term impact of an ageing population on future standards of living, unveiled a $12.1 million package aimed at keeping older workers in the labor force.
The mature-age employment and workplace strategy seeks to encourage older job seekers and employees to work longer, slowing down early retirement rates. It also aims to change the attitude of some employers towards their older workers.
The Government is responding to forecasts that an ageing population and a declining fertility rate could lead to zero labor force growth by about 2040.
Treasurer Peter Costello said that over the next 40 years, the number of Australians of working age will increase slightly but the number of over-65s will more than double.
The strategy unveiled yesterday will focus on specific industries where there are opportunities to run projects that would provide openings for mature-age workers.
The Government has pledged $1 million each year to help develop projects for industries that have the need and potential to employ older workers.
The measures are designed to help the Government's employment agency, Job Network, focus more on mature-age workers, employers and employment service providers.
Job Network has about 183,000 such job seekers on its books, about 23 per cent of the agency's participants.
The strategy, to run over the next four years, aims to build about 40 business learning networks for employers to share ideas and best practice. A website (www.jobwise.gov.au) will provide assistance.
Employers with a strong record of encouraging mature-age employment will receive public recognition.
For employment service providers and intermediaries, there will be seminars and workshops to help them develop strategies for mature-age workers. These seminars and workshops are to help staff understand more about the impact of the demographic changes, and engage more effectively with employers.
The package will also include about 40 workshops for mature-age job seekers or those contemplating retirement. These sessions will provide them with updates on job opportunities, the latest in job search techniques and, when possible, link them up with their chosen provider.

Composer John Cage (1912–1992) paid attention to the 99% of sound that was not previously called "music." This even led him to explore what was previously thought of as "silence." Because he challenged existing notions of music in such a fundamental way, his ideas still provoke and inspire.
Cage visited New England Conservatory for a festival of his music in 1991. In 2012, we celebrate his centennial with performances by NEC's musicians here and elsewhere in Boston.
This special noontime performance of one of John Cage's "number pieces," co-sponsored by New England Conservatory and The First Church of Christ, Scientist, features 58 wind musicians from the NEC Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Winds, under the direction of Charles Peltz. This rare performance of a modernist masterwork takes place outdoors on the Christian Science Plaza, facing the reflecting pool, which is itself one of Boston's modernist treasures, designed by I.M. Pei. Find a map.
Cage's 58 was written in the final year of his life, to be performed in the Landhaushof of Graz, Austria, with the performers positioned in the 58 arches of this courtyard. While Boston's Christian Science Plaza may not have exactly 58 arches, it's probably as close as you will find in Boston to the original specifications and to the spirit of a European town plaza.
The 58 wind players work with parts that contain between 64 and 71 individual notes each, with very little other instructions. Cage scholar Rob Haskins reports that Cage "associated wind bands with an attitude of celebration and joyfulness," and that spirit will inform the players' interpretation of his score.

On Saturday July 2,2011 , my daughter Jolie unexpectedly made her debut into the world after 23 weeks and 5 days at around 6pm. At 9:56pm she passed away and though I know she is safe in Heaven there is now a hole in my heart. As much as it pains me to post this, I am doing so because my husband and I need your prayers - we cannot get through this alone. It has been a struggle for me to wake up every morning and get out of bed, but with the support and prayers of friends and family I know that my husband and I will get through this.
Please pray for us.

I've used custom fit covers, and this is not one of those. The fit is OK, seems a little big for my older Honda Accord coupe. New Accords are a little bigger, so... The cover itself is very good - light, easy to put on. It's light weight - easy to put away in trunk or garage. The elastic front and back hold the cover well. My main concern is protection from sun, this works well for that.

No. 8 Volleyball on the Road for a Pair of Matches
Oct. 15, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. - After just a two-match homestand, the No. 8 Kentucky volleyball team returns to the road for a pair of conference matches this weekend. Up first for the Blue and White is a date with Mississippi State on Friday and then Alabama on Sunday.
UK and Mississippi State meet on Friday at 8 p.m. ET. Sunday's match with Alabama is slated for a 2:30 p.m. ET start.
Sophomore Gretchen Giesler earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Monday after pacing the UK (17-1, 7-0) defensive effort with 1.43 blocks per frame in the team's two wins over Auburn and Georgia. It is the first such honor of the sophomore middle blocker's career.
For the fifth consecutive season the Kentucky volleyball team has charted 17 or more victories - all coming under the direction of head coach Craig Skinner. It is the first time since the 1989-93 seasons the Blue and White has strung together five consecutive years with 17 or more wins.
Mississippi State under new head coach Jenny Hazelwood is 5-14 overall and 1-7 in SEC action. The Bulldogs got their first conference win just last weekend in a 3-2 triumph over Ole Miss in Oxford. Mississippi State is led by do-everything player Ashley Newsome. Newsome leads the team in kills per set (3.03) and hitting percentage (.269). Additionally, Newsome leads the squad with 73 blocks on the year. Kayla Woodard averages 4.07 digs per set to lead the team defensively. UK leads the all-time series by a 36-1 margin.
The Crimson Tide hold a 6-12 overall record and a 4-4 clip in SEC action heading into the weekend series with Tennessee and Kentucky. The Tide has emerged in conference action to pick up four of its last six victories. Although, only one Alabama victory in conference play has come in the form of a sweep. The Crimson Tide is led by Ashley Frazier who averages 2.86 kills per set. The Tide as a team average 12.41 kills per frame. Alabama uses a two-setter rotation with Kayla Schmidt leading the way with 424 assists on the year. Kelsey Anderson leads the defensive effort with an average of 3.11 digs per set. The Wildcats lead the all-time series 19-12.
Stay tuned to UKathletics.com for the most up-to-date news, highlights and features from the Kentucky volleyball team.

As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction--but choice overload can make you question your decisions before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for failures. This can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and stress. In this book, social scientist Schwartz explains at what point choice--the hallmark of individual freedom that we so cherish--becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. He offers practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.--From publisher description.

There are a number of programs available to help with your natural gas costs.
Budget Billing
Most suppliers offer budget billing, which allows you to pay a fixed amount each month. Budget billing averages bills out over 12 months, so each monthly bill will be the same amount until the total bill is paid. The company may adjust the bill four times a year, up or down, depending on the customer's use. Residential customers may contact their natural gas utility and/or supplier and request budget billing at any time.
Any customer may choose to use budget billing. To qualify for some of the following programs, your income must be below a certain amount. These income limits can vary from company to company and from year to year. Call your natural gas utility to find out more information about qualifying for these programs.
Consumer Assistance Program (CAP)
The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) provides an alternative to traditional collection methods for low-income, payment-troubled utility customers. Generally, customers enrolled in a CAP agree to make monthly payments to the utility based on household size and gross income. Customers make regular monthly payments, which may be for an amount that is less than the current natural gas bill for utility service. In exchange for regular payments, some companies may also reduce the amount consumers already owe. Besides regular monthly payments, customers need to follow certain rules to remain eligible for continued participation. CAP customers are able to choose a competitive supplier, but the discount they receive in CAP may be greater than the discounted rate offered by the supplier. Call your natural gas utility for more information.
Customer Assistance Referral and Evaluation Services (CARES)
The Customer Assistance Referral and Evaluation Services (CARES) program helps customers with special needs find ways to pay their utility bills. Special needs include family emergencies, divorce, unemployment or medical emergencies.
Hardship Funds
Hardship funds provide cash assistance to utility customers to help them pay their utility bills and offer assistance grants to customers who cannot qualify for other financial assistance programs, or to those who still have a critical need for assistance when there are no other resources. The funds make payments directly to companies on behalf of eligible customers. Contact your natural gas utility for more information.
Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
A federal program that provides financial assistance to low-income households for home energy bills, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides both cash and crisis benefits. Cash benefits help low-income consumers pay for their home energy bills, while crisis payments help meet emergency home energy needs. For more information, contact the Department of Human Services.
Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP)
The Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP) helps low-income residential customers lower the amount of energy used each month. Typically, the company may install energy-saving features or make energy efficiency improvements in customers' homes to help reduce bills. Contact your natural gas utility for more information.
Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
The Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) enables low-income families to reduce their energy bills by making their homes more energy-efficient. Pennsylvania's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) is administered through the Department of Community and Economic Development.

air recirculation
I turned on my cabin recirculation the other day because I was behind a diesel that really stunk. After a few minutes I could smell it again, I looked and the recirculation had turned off. I pressed the button again and it only stayed on for 5 minutes before it turned off. I couldn't find anything in the manual that says it should turn off on it's own and all the other cars I've had it would stay on. Looks like I have something I need to take the car in for....it's never fun getting the bugs out of new cars.
Has anyone else tried theirs (without max AC on) and it stayed on as it was supposed to?
Didn't know it did this:
From page 117 of the Owners Manual
4. (Recirculated air): Press to activate/deactivate air recirculation in
cabin. Recirculated air may reduce the amount of time to cool down the
interior of the vehicle and may also help reduce undesired odors from
reaching the interior of the vehicle. Recirculated air engages automatically
when MAX A/C is selected or can be engaged manually in any airflow mode
except (defrost). Recirculated air may turn off automatically in all
airflow modes except MAX A/C to reduce fog potential.
I must have missed that last line. That really sucks, how does it know if it is going to fog up?? I really hate that it doesn't let me have control when I want it on.
My fiancé asked me about this today for her 2011 Focus. Thanks for the information. It saved me a bit of time troubleshooting.
Yes, I noticed this as well. Whenever I turn the A/C to AUTO, I have to manually reach down and hit the Recirc button. This is annoying, but my Lexus does the same thing. Crazy!
This is the first car I have had that thinks it know better than I when recirc should be on. I don't like it. You need to have A/C on Max to keep it from going "fresh" and I have never found a way to keep it on recirc for heat. That's nuts but the way it was designed.
Recirculated air traps humidity inside the car and leads to fogged windows if the temp/humidity is right.
Some cars also use carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxide sensors to monitor interior air quality. I don't know if the Focus has one or not. In this case, you really do want that outside air when the sensor says so...

"I love it when my scent attracts attention and compliments - I feel delicious and desirable. Fragrance is the ultimate glamour accessory."
COMING SOON! A fragrance accent that can be used in many ways so your signature fragrance can fill your environment. A few drops added to warm water will fill the room with delicious scents. Added to a bath the luxurious aromas fill the senses and leave a touch of fragrance on the skin. Hair can be fragranced too by adding a few drops to the final rinse. A scarf or sweater rinsed in fragranced water will scent them delicately too.
From an icon of glamour and sophistication, her own iconic fragrance. A reflection of her personality, I AM WOMAN has presence and the power to inspire and seduce in equal measure. The fragrance is unquestionably female, embracing citrus top notes, a sensual musk and woody base and romantic floral scents at its heart.
I AM WOMAN is both a declaration and a mantra

I stumbled across this little gem in M&S recently! The perfume oil formulation goes really well with the sensual fragrance which I can't stop smelling! (It smells similar to Urban Decay's "sin" which was discontinued some years ago....I was delighted to find a replacement and the "dropper" that comes with the bottle makes it hygienic to apply and versatile to use)

President's Welcome
Welcome to the Oxford University Fencing Club website!
Founded in 1891, OUFC is one of Britain's oldest and most successful fencing clubs. The club caters for all levels, from beginners to international.
Foil, epee and sabre training are all on offer at the club. Advanced and intermediate fencers receive expert tuition from our club coach, Tomek Walicki, who leads a weekly training session and offers individual lessons throughout the week. In addition there are two club nights every week with free fencing. The quality of fencing is high across all three weapons and many members represent their country internationally. The club also benefits from a number of non-university members attending training sessions.
The highlight of the season for the squad is the annual Varsity match against Cambridge. This year, the 109th match is being played in Oxford's Examination Schools on Saturday March 12th 2016. The club has four teams (Men's Firsts; Women's Firsts; Men's Seconds; Women's Seconds) which compete in regular BUCS competitions and have a succesful track record, with both Men's and Women's first teams reaching the BUCS final last season. Fencers also compete individually in domestic and international competitions.
The club also has a flourishing programme for people new to fencing. Our beginners are guided by two BFA-qualified coaches. Fencers work towards the annual Novice Varsity match which takes place in Trinity Term and will be hosted here in Oxford in 2016. This gives beginners the opportunity to fence competitively and experience a match against our arch rivals.
There is also an active social side to OUFC. Highlights of the year include Freshers' Drinks, Christmas Dinner, the Old Blues' Dinner, (pirate) punting and a BBQ. Training sessions are often followed by a trip to the pub or G&Ds.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact myself or one of the team captains.
Grace Segall
OUFC President 2015-16

Visual Showcase Blends Cinema & Architecture
"The Past Meets the Future" is a powerful animated experience that condenses China's long history, using a multitude of visual media.
Yan Yu Chun Qiu Water Show, titled "The Past Meets the Future", is a unique 45 minute visual experience created by Director Han Lixun and Spinifex Group. It illustrates a historical Chinese narrative on Spring/Autumn in a unique way, utilizing cinematic techniques, cutting edge performance technology, motion design, and architectural facades.
"The content begins on the 250-meter-wide wall of the museum, then appears on a unique 100-meter-wide retractable scrim array… The content is choreographed to a wide variety of state-of-the-art show effects, including fireworks, water screens, laser and fog machines, and surround sound."
The show will be taking place in Yan City, based in Chun Zhu province, as part of a massive recreational theme park that will host a slew of exertions to bring the mythology of Yan City to life. The project's directors insist that this is an extension of Han Lixun's work in the Beijing Olympics, in which China's history was dramatized by using a complex array of visualization techniques.

text: A fresh dump of snow had us sticking close to home this weekend. We trudged across fields, spotting robins and blackbirds against the bright white backdrop, built snowmen, baked cakes, knitted for small people and drank a lot of hot chocolate. I also napped a fair bit, and Anthony spent all weekend dressed in snowboarding gear, even when he was in the house.
