And Then There Was One
Posted on May 8, 2013
By Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch
This piece first appeared at TomDispatch.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
And then there was one. There had never been such a moment: a single nation astride the globe without a competitor in sight. There wasn't even a name for such a state (or state of mind). "Superpower" had already been used when there were two of them. "Hyperpower" was tried briefly but didn't stick. "Sole superpower" stood in for a while but didn't satisfy. "Great Power," once the zenith of appellations, was by then a lesser phrase, left over from the centuries when various European nations and Japan were expanding their empires. Some started speaking about a "unipolar" world in which all roads led… well, to Washington.
To this day, we've never quite taken in that moment when Soviet imperial rot unexpectedly— above all, to Washington—became imperial crash-and-burn. Left standing, the Cold War's victor seemed, then, like an empire of everything under the sun. It was as if humanity had always been traveling toward this spot. It seemed like the end of the line.
The Last Empire?
Square, Site wide, Desktop
Square, Site wide, Mobile
As a start, the U.S. was an empire of global capital. With the fall of Soviet-style communism (and the transformation of a communist regime in China into a crew of authoritarian "capitalist roaders"), there was no other model for how to do anything, economically speaking. There was Washington's way—and that of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank (both controlled by Washington)—or there was the highway, and the Soviet Union had already made it all too clear where that led: to obsolescence and ruin.
In addition, the U.S. had unprecedented military power. By the time the Soviet Union began to totter, America's leaders had for nearly a decade been consciously using "the arms race" to spend its opponent into an early grave. And here was the curious thing after centuries of arms races: when there was no one left to race, the U.S. continued an arms race of one.
In the years that followed, it would outpace all other countries or combinations of countries in military spending by staggering amounts. It housed the world's most powerful weapons makers, was technologically light years ahead of any other state, and was continuing to develop future weaponry for 2020, 2040, 2060, even as it established a near monopoly on the global arms trade (and so, control over who would be well-armed and who wouldn't).
It had an empire of bases abroad, more than 1,000 of them spanning the globe, also an unprecedented phenomenon. And it was culturally dominant, again in a way that made comparisons with other moments ludicrous. Like American weapons makers producing things that went boom in the night for an international audience, Hollywood's action and fantasy films took the world by storm. From those movies to the golden arches, the swoosh, and the personal computer, there was no other culture that could come close to claiming such a global cachet.
The key non-U.S. economic powerhouses of the moment—Europe and Japan—maintained militaries dependent on Washington, had U.S. bases littering their territories, and continued to nestle under Washington's "nuclear umbrella." No wonder that, in the U.S., the post-Soviet moment was soon proclaimed "the end of history," and the victory of "liberal democracy" or "freedom" was celebrated as if there really were no tomorrow, except more of what today had to offer.
No wonder that, in the new century, neocons and supporting pundits would begin to claim that the British and Roman empires had been second-raters by comparison. No wonder that key figures in and around the George W. Bush administration dreamed of establishing a Pax Americana in the Greater Middle East and possibly over the globe itself (as well as a Pax Republicana at home). They imagined that they might actually prevent another competitor or bloc of competitors from arising to challenge American power. Ever.
No wonder they had remarkably few hesitations about launching their incomparably powerful military on wars of choice in the Greater Middle East. What could possibly go wrong? What could stand in the way of the greatest power history had ever seen?
Assessing the Imperial Moment, Twenty-First-Century-Style
Almost a quarter of a century after the Soviet Union disappeared, what's remarkable is how much—and how little—has changed.

STONINGTON, Maine — The Deer Isle-Stonington Historical Society will present the Deer Isle Boat Show from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 4. The event will showcase the island's maritime heritage through a variety of local watercraft on display, children's activities, exhibits, and boat models. The show will take place on the waterfront in scenic downtown Stonington.
More than 15 classic and contemporary boats will be displayed in the water and on land. The event will showcase vessels with a significant connection to Deer Isle-Stonington, including those that have been built on the island, have spent most of their existence in island waters, or are representative of a boat that is of historical importance to the island.
Boats on display will include a 1903 Wilbur Morse Friendship Sloop, an Arno Day built lobster style cruiser, and island-built peapods. Visitors will be able to meet and speak with boat builders and owners, and it will be possible to board many of the larger boats for an up close look. An indoor exhibit will feature boat models and half hulls.
The Deer Isle Boat Show is produced by the Deer Isle-Stonington Historical Society, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Money raised through admission will go toward the operation and development of the Deer-Isle Stonington Historical Society. Admission is $5, with a maximum of $20 per family, and free to all island students.

Lea Michele vs. Ashley Tisdale – Pop Clash
Following Lady Gaga's four-week win with 'Do What U Want' (putting her and the song in the Pop Clash Hall of Fame), PopCrush is closing out the year with a new Pop Clash between two beloved TV stars with amazing and unique voices. Lea Michele, aka 'Glee' heroine Rachel Berry, is rocking solo single 'Cannonball,' while former 'High School Musical' vixen Ashley Tisdale, who played Sharpay Evans to perfection, returned to music when she penned an emotional new tribute to her grandfather, 'You're Always Here.'
Michele, who also recently dropped a new song called 'Battlefield,' shows off the depth and range of her voice with 'Cannonball.' We're so used to her singing covers of songs we know and love on Fox every week, so to hear the gorgeous star deliver the words and the melody of a song we don't know is new and fresh. Michele infuses the song with pure power when she sings "I think I found the light at the end of the tunnel" and "I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out."She has lit the fuse of her solo, post-'Glee' career with 'Cannonball.'
Tisdale dropped her new song a few weeks ago, dedicating it to her late grandfather. She worked on the song with her fiance, Christopher French, so it's incredibly personal for her on multiple levels. It's an ode to someone she loves and misses, co-created by someone she is planning on spending the rest of her life with. She's not the vocal belter that Michele is, but the song is emotionally resonant and super catchy — and it's about a subject we can all relate to. It's a sweeping pop song that reminds us how much we missed the Tiz's voice.
It's up to you to decide which TV diva reigns supreme with her new song: Lea Michele or Ashley Tisdale. Vote once an hour until the polls close at 3PM ET on Jan. 6.

Google News early Sunday morning, at its "Top Stories" front page, posted a suggestive Photoshopped picture of President George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair next to a headline about the California Supreme Court's recent ruling on same-sex marriages.
In the picture, Bush and a shirtless Blair are cuddling underneath an American flag.
Accident? Something to do with Google's auto-generation software program?
Maybe. But consider as you examine the following screencap that the article the picture came from wasn't even one of the featured stories (link to larger more legible version here):
Let's add to the mystery, shall we?
The Washington Post article prominently featured was published around midnight Saturday, and is actually in Sunday's paper. Ditto the San Francisco Chronicle piece. And the San Jose Mercury article. And the LA Times, NY Times, and Boston Globe.
Yet, as you can see from the screencap, not only isn't there a link in the articles section for the website OverTheTop, but also the posting this picture comes from was published on Friday, May 16.
In addition, if you click on the "3,978 news articles" link sorted by relevance, the OverTheTop piece is seemingly irrelevant as it is buried pages into the search.
So, why would Google News so prominently place a picture from a two-day old article that it wasn't either featuring at its front page or displaying as relevant?

Subject: Re: [BDF] Harrold parish registers
Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 11:57:57 EST
Dear Peter:
Your question just hit the spot, so to speak. There is a group of BUTTON
researchers who are working together (in the U.S.--I am not sure where you
are--England?) on Matthias BUTTON. A few months ago, I wrote St. Peter's
Church in Harrold. Below is the answer I received from John Saul, who answers
such inquiries for the church. Another BUTTON researcher and I wrote Evelyn
Burgess (whose emails are included below) in hopes that she would have
more information, but she did not answer either one of us. Perhaps if you
email John Saul, he can tell you whether the vital records for Thomas BUTTON and
his family are in Latin or English. They were sent to me in English
almost 20 years ago by someone in the Bedfordshire County Office. That person
said nothing about whether the original record was in English or Latin. John
Saul's email address is

Date: July 31, 2010
Dear Jayne
Your enquiry [to St. Peter's church] has been forwarded to me.
The church records confirm the death of Thomas Button in 1617 and the
baptisms of his children - but all we have in the church is a typed
transcription made in 1946 of the registers kept in the Bedfordshire County Record
Office. There is no possibility of going back any earlier than 1598.
You are not the first person to ask us for information about Thomas Button.
In 2003 we were visited by a Russ Button of Alameda, California - he is
descended from Thomas Button via Thomas's son Matthias, who emigrated to
Massachusetts in the 1630s.
>From what he told me I was able to write a short article for the Harrold
village magazine - extract included below.
Then last year we received an enquiry from a Mrs Burgess:

William's Great Great ..... grandson Albert Augustus Button (my
Grandfather) was born in Detroit, Michigan approximately 1881. Some time between the
mid 1600s and the mid 1800s the Buttons migrated to Canada/United States.
I would be happy to discuss any information with any one who can help me.
Thank you...........I really do hope to get back to Harrold some time, and
wander through my history.

Subject: The Buttons
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 18:21:56 +0100
Dear Mrs Burgess (or may I call you Evelyn).
Revd Fox passed your enquiry to me as I am probably the nearest we have to
a church historian.
I am not surprised that you were unable to find any Button memorials in
the churchyard. There are no Button entries in the parish registers after
the death of his father Thomas Button, so we must assume that the other
Button children had all moved away by that time. We believe that the churchyard
contains the remains of some 7000 people, and 98% of them would have been
interred in unmarked graves - only the wealthiest would have been able to
afford a memorial. Also, I am sure that if there were a memorial, erosion
by wind and water over 375 years would have obliterated any inscription.
You are not the only descendant of Matthias Button to have made such an
In 2003 we were visited by Russ Button ( () ), his wife
and son, from Alameda, California. Later that year, I wrote a piece for
our parish magazine about Russ's researches, as follows:
"Matthias Button, Russ's direct ancestor, was baptised at St Peters
Harrold on 11 October 1611, the fourth child of Thomas Button. Russ already knew
that Matthias emigrated to the American colonies in the early 1630s,
possibly (like the Pilgrim Fathers) via Holland. He may have married his first
wife, Lettyce, before he went to America, but no record of this marriage
has yet been found. She died young, and he remarried thrice more, in 1639,
1649 and 1663! He first lived in Salem, then moved to Boston where he was
one of the very first settlers. He next moved to Ipswich and finally to
Haverhill, Massachusetts, where he died in 1672. He accumulated a fair amount
of land during his life in Haverhill. The records also show that he
incurred the enmity of a certain John Godfrey when he testified at Godfrey's
trial in 1665 on suspicion of witchcraft. Godfrey was charged with 'not
having the fear of God before his eyes, did or have consulted with a familiar
spirit and being instigated by the divil have done much hurt and mischief by
several acts of witchcraft to the bodyes and goods of several persons'.
Testimony at the trial stated that Godfrey passed through locked doors,
appeared in two places at once and kept company with a retinue of strange cats
and noisy demons. He was found 'suspiciously guilty' but not 'legally
guilty'! Four years later, Godfrey was found guilty - of burning down
Matthias Button's house! All this took place only a few years before the
infamous trials of the 'Witches of Salem'.
Could Matthias Button's journey to Massachusetts have been linked with
that of Peter Bulkeley, the Rector of Odell, who was dispossessed of his
living by Archbishop Laud because of his Puritan views? Peter Bulkeley
emigrated to Massachusetts in 1635, where he founded and became the first minister
of the town of Concord. Certainly, large numbers of Englishmen and women
followed the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World in the 1630s in search of
religious freedom. However, Matthias Button is known to have identified
himself with the First Church of England in Boston; at least two of his children
were baptised there. So he was probably what we would now describe as an
economic migrant rather than an asylum seeker."
Odell is less than 2 miles from Harrold, so what went on in Odell would
have been well known in Harrold. It is believed that Archbishop Laud
actually visited Odell to dispossess Bulkeley - indicating that Bulkeley was
regarded as a more serious threat to Laud's vision for the Church of England
than his humble position at an obscure parish church would indicate.
Mrs Burgess replied as follows:
John Saul,
oh my goodness, what a wealth of information you passed on! I am
grateful....thank you so much. I am going to meet with a cousin next month and will
share this information with him. I am amazed the St. Peter's cemetery
holds so many people. I was told that the grave stones that were very old and
had fallen, were used to fence in the cemetery and to make room for new
The story of Matthias is very intriguing. I was told by my cousin that we
are direct descendants of Matthias, but we have no stories of the
witchcraft trials. The only thing my grandfather told me about ancestors still in
England, is that one man (no name, no date) was hung for hunting deer on the
kings' land.
I also did run across, in some of my ancestry searches, some of the family
tree line of Matthias, that was the first I'd seen references to Matthias
and Thomas being brothers.
Again, thank you so much, Mr. Saul, for sharing this information. I
really do hope to visit England again and stay several days in Harrold. My
husband's grandmother was born in Dufton, Scotland. Looks like a wonderful visit
to the past for us.
............sincerely, Evelyn Burgess
I find family history research highly intriguing - I have traced the Saul
line back to 1637, and one maternal line to the 1580s.
Let me know if there is anything else that I might be able to help you
John Saul
In a message dated 1/5/2011 6:00:50 A.M. Eastern Standard Time,
Would anyone have easy access to the Harrold parish register transcripts?
I am interested in the entry for the baptism of Matthias son of Thomas
Button on 11 October 1607. I would like to know whether the original entry was
written in Latin or in English. Thanks if someone can help. Peter Jones

Specter serves up something to chew on
Connoisseurs of a certain simply prepared sandwich should have no difficulty following today's piece.
Because it deals with government pork projects and their potential implications on Pennsylvania's upcoming Senate race, the entire column is coming to you in easily understandable, appetite-inducing BLT format.
The bacon component deals with the pork being dispensed by Pennsylvania's senior spender — er, senator — Arlen Specter.
The lettuce portion is the perspective offered by the head of the organization that painstakingly tracks unnecessary government spending.
The tomato• I don't want to give everything away. But rest assured that just as in an actual BLT, it is no mere garnishment.
Now then, on to the sizzle:
The bacon
Citizens Against Government Waste released its annual report on pork-barrel spending Tuesday, and Specter's name turned up about as often as a crude expletive at a Friars Club roast.
The Washington-based watchdog group linked Pennsylvania's increasingly embattled Republican senator to 312 pork projects.
The cost to taxpayers of the projects, which usually are not the subject of congressional hearings, serve only a local or special interest and are not competitively awarded: $228 million.
Specter might be a relative piker compared to the crown prince of pork, Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., whose 112 projects total $382 million.
But that fact isn't likely to appease the many conservatives angry at Specter for recently supporting President Obama's economic stimulus package.
The lettuce
"Senator Specter has been on the appropriations committee for many years, so this really isn't out of the ordinary for him," said Thomas Schatz, Citizens Against Government Waste president.
Schatz noted that out of the 312 items in the Health and Human Services funding appropriation, Specter was responsible for the inclusion of 186. Of those 186 appropriations, 139 were for the same amount — $95,000.
"He's obviously trying to please as many people as possible," Schatz said. "To give a set amount of money to a large group of recipients, I think, really shows the randomness and inequity of all of these earmarks."
The tomato
Former U.S. Rep. Pat Toomey stepped down Monday as head of the conservative advocacy organization Club for Growth to challenge Specter.
Care to wager that Toomey, who almost knocked off Specter in the 2004 Republican primary, might grill his opponent over his propensity for pork?
Schatz believes it's a distinct possibility.
"Sen. Specter clearly thinks this is an essential part of his representation," Schatz said. "Whether or not the citizens of Pennsylvania appreciate that might well be a part of the campaign."
Count on it.
And don't be surprised if an increasing number of people find Specter's fondness for dispensing pork difficult to digest.

CapsuleM presents "Sunday afternoon with TILL VON SEIN + NAVID IZADI + ELWAN + SAND"
Sunday, June 2, 2013 from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
It has been long overdue but no worries, we are going back to the same spot soon for the second round of Sunday afternoon filled with floating delicious tunes.
This time, we are bringing another talent for his Los Angeles debut. Please welcome TILL VON SEIN from Berlin. Whether behind the desk playing in a club or producing in the studio his unique touch has been responsible for some serious dance floor damages.
Alongside Till, Navid Izadi from San Francisco will also be joining us. His recent release The Last Dance EP from Soul Clap Records really stands out and is receiving a lot of thumbs-up as it well deserves.
Lovelife/Musicis4lovers' Sand and, of course, CapsuleM's own Elwan will be there to get you into the mood right before our guest talents drop some of their favorites to rock the place.

⁞⁞⁞⁞⁞ TILL VON SEIN ......... (SUOL, Dirt Crew, Supplement Facts - Berlin)
"Till Von Sein is the master of arrogance, mostly because he rocks crispy white tee's with catchy slogans on them for like maybe two or three uses tops and then throws them away. Plus whenever he's buying sneakers, homeboy always cops two pair. I mean, if that ain't keeping it really real in Berlin, than we don't even know." Soul Clap, Boston, 2010.
Till is a typical urban kid; growing up in the nineties with skateboarding and hip hop, he was running his own street wear shop for seven years until he in 2006 decided to focus 100% on his music career.
Besides working as the booking agent for a number of infamous German acts, Till is also a heavily acclaimed dj and producer with releases on labels like Supplement Facts, Suol and Dirt Crew Recs, with collaborations with Tigerskin, Aera, Chopstick, Catz'n'Dogz etc. and with remixes on Ministry of Sound, Plastic City and many others on the discography. His heart and dedication, however, is to be found in dj'ing. For the past two years he has been travelling all over the world; South Africa, Japan, US and all over Europe never letting the dancefloor down. A dj set from Till Von Sein is soulful and pop infused, you for sure never know what you are gonna get - only thing certain is, that it will be some wicked stuff.
⁞⁞⁞⁞⁞ NAVID IZADI ........... (Wolf+Lamb, Double Standard, Soul Clap – San Francisco)
A musician on a mission, Navid Izadi has quickly risen from a San Francisco club kid to buzzing new one to watch. Rolling as a DJ, singer and rapper (but rarely over rap beats), and producing music that effortlessly weaves between influences, his talents are being drafted in and championed by a range of industry heavyweights. Aside from recent and upcoming vocal features for major leaguers like Deniz Kurtel, Soul Clap and close friends PillowTalk, the past year has also seen Navid remix the likes of Pezzner and Miguel Migs.
Having worked with names like Wolf+Lamb, Soul Clap, Deniz Kurtel, PillowTalk and releasing from Soul Clap Records , Crosstown Rebels, Double Standard have surely made a solid reputation for him.
⁞⁞⁞⁞⁞ ELWAN ........... (CapsuleM – Los Angeles)
Elwan is CapsuleM's resident with a delicate twist in Deep / Tech House and Nu Disco/ Indie Dance who has played at numerous events along with the most respected international talents of the scene.
⁞⁞⁞⁞⁞ SAND .....................(Lovelife/Musicis4lovers - Los Angeles)
SAND, Michael Sandler, is the Dj from Lovelife/Musicis4lovers crew that have brought a new momentum to San Diego nightlife by organizing parties with heavyweight talents.

(pseudo) intellectual jokes
It's not fair that pointy-headed smartypantses are always the butt of jokes. We should remedy that by making them the target audience for a change. Tell some jokes that eggheads will enjoy - maybe even some that only eggheads can "get". Let's tell some high-IQ funnies. A few quickies to get the ball rolling......
Two atoms walk into a bar:
"Dammit I think I left an electron behind in the last place".
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive".
Grad student: "Professor - I have good news and bad news; which would you like first?"
Prof: "Oh the good news I think".
Grad student: "I discovered a new galaxy hidden by the rotation of the Milky Way - just two light years away".
Prof: "Why that's amazing! A Nobel prize for sure - the find of the century! What could possibly be bad news compared to that?"
Grad student: "It's blue".
Building site foreman: "Sorry I've had bad luck hiring intellectuals before - they always screw up"
Comp. Lit. PhD: "But I put myself through 8 yrs of school doing construction. Ask me anything! I need this job."
Foreman: "OK tell you what - if you can answer three easy trades questions right I'll hire you, OK?"
PhD: "Sure!"
Foreman "What's the difference between frame carpentry and finish carpentry?"
PhD: "Easy - frame carpentry is putting up the beams and supporting walls etc, - finish is doing splashboards and cabinets and such."
Foreman: "OK - where do you start laying roofing shingles?"
PhD: "Even easier - at the edge of the roof by the gutters so you can overlay the rows up to the roofline".
Foreman: "Alright - last one. What's the difference between girders and joists?"
PhD: "Easiest one yet - the former wrote Faust and the latter wrote Ulysses".

Story Details
Utah's Unemployment Rate Remains Low- Job Growth Continues to Outpace Nation
Sep. 20, 2013
SALT LAKE CITY - Utah's economy continued to add jobs and maintain low unemployment through the month of August. The unemployment rate held steady for August at 4.7 percent, relatively unchanged from July's 4.6 percent. Though August's job growth of 2.7 percent rate is slower than the previous month, Utah continues to add jobs faster than the national average of 1.7 percent.
"With government the only exception, all growth is good growth, and Utah has consistently been moving in the right direction," said Governor Gary R. Herbert. "It's worth noting that every single private sector industry in the latest report is adding jobs. The only sector shedding jobs is government."
The largest gains were in trade, transportation and utilities, as well as leisure and hospitality.
"Utah's expansion continues on track, though there will always be months below average," said Juliette Tennert, Chief Economist for the Governor. "Since the recovery took hold more than two years ago, Utah has consistently grown at about twice the national rate."

From Nutrition and Environmental Consciousness to Common Core Standards, Educators Work to Improve Student Learning
The NEA Foundation Awards 55 Grants to Support Educators' Innovative Ideas
WASHINGTON, DC (March 25, 2013) —In Oakland, CA, Kathleen Bailey dreamt up the "Healthy Academy" at Oakland Technical High School to teach students about nutrition, cooking, and the impact of various food choices on the environment and local community through class demonstrations, health fairs, and writing assignments meant for publication. In Portland, OR, Michelle Peake, a school counselor at César Chávez School, will lead a group of Advancement via Individualized Determination (AVID) students in an environment awareness experience on sustainability, recycling, and clean energy at Oregon State University. And in Mount Washington, KY, Jackie Kessler of Mount Washington Elementary School will help provide school-wide professional development through a nationally-recognized program for the mastery of Common Core Standards called "Thinking Strategies."
This is a small and very random sample of the innovative work the NEA Foundation is funding with its latest round of grants: awarded to 55 educators across 28 states for a total of $176,000.
"With these grants, we are supporting educator- driven solutions that contribute to improved student performance in public schools," said Harriet Sanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation. "Our support enables educators to engage in a wide variety of innovative approaches to the benefit of students across the country."
The NEA Foundation awards two levels of funding, $2,000 or $5,000, for two primary categories of grants to public education professionals: Student Achievement Grants for initiatives to improve academic achievement, and Learning and Leadership Grants for high-quality professional development activities. Of these, nine have been awarded for literacy projects in collaboration with strategic Foundation partner Mazda.
A team of 20 educators, many former grantees, carefully reviewed all applications and evaluated each one against a set of criteria. Funded grants were selected for the quality of the proposed ideas and their potential for enhancing student achievement. Eighteen grantees plan to conduct interdisciplinary projects. The remaining grantees will address nine different subject areas, reaching a total of nearly 21,000 students and more than 1,600 educators at schools, where the average free or reduced lunch rate is 48 percent.
The NEA Foundation has invested more than $8.6 million in grants to support the work of almost 4,000 educators from every state in the country to help students succeed. Each year, the Foundation awards approximately 150 Student Achievement and Learning & Leadership Grants. To learn about these educators' projects, visit our newly redesigned Grantee Archive, where you can search for grantees and projects by most recent, grade level, subject, state, or keyword.
The NEA Foundation awards its grants to educators three times a year. The next grant deadline is June 1, 2013. Application forms and a video with step-by-step instructions on how to apply can be found in the Grants to Educators section of our website.

In This Issue:
The first time Rhonda Martin, MPH, BSN, RN, traveled to a foreign country for a nursing mission was in college. For one month, she lived in a leprosarium in Tanzania, run by German missionaries, and drove out to remote villages with a public health nurse each day.
"We lived in harsh conditions – the same ones the locals live in every day," said Martin, a nurse in the ICU Float Pool at BWH with multiple volunteer missions to her credit. "That experience set the stage for me to be more adventurous, and the world view it provided made quite an impression on me as a 19-year-old."
That first mission taught Martin the level of preparation she and other volunteers needed before signing on to any global health mission. To help fill what she saw as a void in materials available to prepare nurses on the topic, she recently co-authored "Volunteering at Home and Abroad: The Essential Guide for Nurses," published this spring by Sigma Theta Tau International.
"The main thing to keep in mind when you're considering signing up for a volunteer mission is that good intentions aren't enough," said Martin, whose most recent travels include missions in Rwanda, the Dominican Republic and Nepal. "If you want to participate, you need to prepare. Otherwise, you'll be ineffective at best—and harmful at worst."
Edited and co-written by Jeanne Leffers, PhD, RN, and Julia Plotnick, MPH, RN, FAAN, the book provides a thorough guide that covers topics from choosing a project and navigating unfamiliar territory to understanding ethical dilemmas and integrating your experiences when you return home.
BWH's Director of Global Health and Academic Partnerships Patrice Nicholas, DNSc, RN, ANP, FAAN, who reviewed the book, called it a "must-have" for any nurse considering a national or international volunteer opportunity. "It is perhaps the most thorough coverage of volunteering in nursing from the early history of Florence Nightingale to present-day volunteering in disaster relief and resource-limited settings," Nicholas wrote. She added, "Through our formal and informal efforts in our Department of Nursing, volunteering to address the health of the world's people is a priority for BWH."
In addition to self-assessment tools, the book also provides packing lists, tips for personal health and safety and strategies that address cultural differences. Other resources include checklists for identifying important factors in a volunteer organization and a guide to determine the fit between your self-assessment and the organization you select. In addition, the "Changing Lives" feature weaves stories and perspectives throughout each section of the book, providing glimpses into the experiences of nurses new to volunteering as well as those with decades of service.
Martin, who volunteered for relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, contributed to a chapter on nursing response to disasters and authored two chapters on preparing for a mission.
"You can never make effective plans and programs for people unless you understand the obstacles they're up against," she said. "You can tell them to eat nutritious foods, but what if there aren't any around? Solutions aren't easy, and often, you can't even identify the problems until you've immersed yourself in the way of life."
"Volunteering at Home and Abroad: The Essential Guide for Nurses" features many tools, checklists, guides and other resources for nurses preparing for a global health mission. This self-assessment is designed to help nurses decide on the type of volunteer opportunity that bests suits their interests and needs.

Does my religious faith motivate me to volunteer?
Am I trying to get away from problems at home?
Has a recent media message inspired my desire to serve in a disaster?
What do I think I can contribute?
Do I believe that I can save people who live in poverty by my volunteer efforts?

Evans Named to SEC Community Service Team
Feb. 26, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. – University of Kentucky women's basketball senior guard Kastine Evans has been named to the Southeastern Conference Community Service Team, as it was announced by the league office Wednesday morning.
Throughout her Wildcat career, Evans has been an active member in the community and a leader on the hardwood. In 2012, Evans created her own non-profit organization called "Shooting at Success" which provides children with an outlet that to create opportunities for strong character development, help establish dynamic and powerful personalities, and inspire children to achieve academically, in any extracurricular activity, and in life. She came up with the idea after traveling to Ethiopia in July of 2012 for a week-long service trip. While in Africa, she helped distribute food and charcoal to victims of leprosy, painted a community center, visited orphans and taught them how to shoot a basketball. What stood out most to Evans from the trip was coming to understand the everyday struggle of the people she served. Even in the face of poverty, the natives always found joy in their lives through faith and a sense of community.
Along with SAS, Evans is a frequent volunteer at Lexington's Ronald McDonald House, where she cleans the house and does other chores as needed. She has volunteered to pack and deliver food for God's Pantry BackPack program, volunteered to pack bags for the Joplin, Mo., tornado victims, participated in the NAACP Voter Registration Drive, getting all eligible voters on the UK Hoops team to register to vote for the 2012 election and volunteered with her sorority for Breast Cancer Week, helping bring awareness with programs and fundraisers for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The Salem, Conn., native is two-time SEC Community Service Team member, while also being named to the prestigious Allstate WBCA Good Works Team earlier this month. Last season she received UK's prestigious Society of Character honor and the Darrell A. VanMeter Community Service Award.
On the court, the 5-foot-8 guard has played and started in 26 of the team's 27 games this season, and is averaging career bests in points (8.9), 3-point field goals made (35) and attempted (99) and field goal percentage (.364). Evans has made at least one 3-pointer in 23-of-26 games and reached double figures in 10 games after doing so only four times last season. For her career, Evans ranks sixth all-time in UK Hoops history with 131 games played.

I wish the war had lasted longer so we could have killed more Arabs.
How do you like that 'we'? Clearly, he identified with Israelis considerably more than with Americans, and that seems to be the case with far too many American Jews. Somehow, I don't think he ever got around to joining the US Armed Forces to help out in Vietnam. He would probably have been self-righteously opposed to that war.
Chances are good that even if you've been reading this blog for awhile that you've never heard of the Liberty, an American ship that was attacked by Israeli forces fifty years ago this week. The Israelis, evidently, intended to sink the ship and kill everybody aboard. [link]. So much for our gallant little ally.
Here's one account:
Infamy at Sea
Israel's Attack on the USS Liberty 50 Years Later
In early June of 1967, at the onset of the Six Day War, the Pentagon sent the USS Liberty from Spain into international waters off the coast of Gaza to monitor the progress of Israel's attack on the Arab states. The Liberty was a lightly armed surveillance ship.
Only hours after the Liberty arrived it was spotted by the Israeli military. The IDF sent out reconnaissance planes to identify the ship. They made eight trips over a period of three hours. The Liberty was flying a large US flag and was easily recognizable as an American vessel.
Soon more planes came. These were Israeli Mirage III fighters, armed with rockets and machine guns. As off-duty officers sunbathed on the deck, the fighters opened fire on the defenseless ship with rockets and machine guns.
A few minutes later a second wave of planes streaked overhead, French-built Mystere jets, which not only pelted the ship with gunfire but also with napalm bomblets, coating the deck with the flaming jelly. By now, the Liberty was on fire and dozens were wounded and killed, excluding several of the ship's top officers.
The Liberty's radio team tried to issue a distress call, but discovered the frequencies had been jammed by the Israeli planes with what one communications specialist called "a buzzsaw sound." Finally, an open channel was found and the Liberty got out a message it was under attack to the USS America, the Sixth Fleet's large aircraft carrier.
Two F-4s left the carrier to come to the Liberty's aid. Apparently, the jets were armed only with nuclear weapons. When word reached the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara became irate and ordered the jets to return. "Tell the Sixth Fleet to get those aircraft back immediately," he barked. McNamara's injunction was reiterated in saltier terms by Admiral David L. McDonald, the chief of Naval Operations: "You get those fucking airplanes back on deck, and you get them back down." The planes turned around. And the attack on the Liberty continued.
[read the rest here: http://www.unz.com/article/infamy-at-sea/
Of particular interest is one comment on that article:
This column is 100% Muslim-Supremacist lies, like so much of the rest of the Unz.com's Muslimist brigade.
Smells like Hasbara, doesn't it? It seems that one has to put Israel's interests first, well ahead of American interests, or one is somehow a Muslim-Supremacist.
Not so. As the quibcag suggests, it's quite possible to regards both Israel and many of its Muslim enemies as enemies of the West in general and the US in particular. The Muslims attack us mainly with terrorist operations, while the Israelis are more sophisticated, and attack us with espionage and corruption.
And another account:
Remembering the U.S.S. Liberty
The 50 year cover-up of a mass murder of U.S. servicemen orchestrated by Israel and its friends
There has been a lot of media coverage mostly written by Israelis or American Jews regarding Israel's "victory" fifty years ago during the so-called Six Days War directed against its Arab neighbors but I have yet to see an account that mentions the fate of the U.S.S. Liberty. Nevertheless, the Liberty is not forgotten. This Thursday at noon at Arlington National Cemetery there will be a small gathering for the annual coming together with the survivors and friends of the most decorated ship in the history of the U.S. Navy, a victim of a particularly brutal and unprovoked attack by Israel that has been covered up for half a century by the powers that be in Washington. The moving service will include reminiscences by surviving crew members plus the ringing of a ship's bell for each one of the thirty-four American sailors, Marines and civilians that were killed in the deliberate Israeli air and sea onslaught that sought to sink the intelligence gathering ship and kill all its crew. Present will be a number of veterans like myself and other Americans who are committed to ensuring that the story of the Liberty will not die in hopes that someday the United States government will have the courage to acknowledge what actually happened on that fateful day.
The Liberty survivors who will be present in Arlington on Thursday will be fewer than usual because the crew is having its own 50th anniversary commemoration in Norfolk, Virginia, home of the U.S. Atlantic fleet. In truth the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967, has almost faded from memory, with a younger generation completely unaware that a United States naval vessel was once deliberately targeted and nearly sunk by America's "greatest friend and ally" Israel. The attack was followed by a cover-up that demonstrated clearly that at least one president of the United States even back nearly fifty years ago valued his relationship with the state of Israel above his loyalty to his own country.
It was in truth the worst attack ever carried out on a U.S. Naval vessel in peace time. In addition to the death toll, 171 more of the crew were wounded in the two-hour assault, which was clearly intended to destroy the intelligence gathering vessel operating in international waters collecting information on the ongoing fighting between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The Israelis, whose planes had their Star of David markings covered up so Egypt could be blamed, attacked the ship repeatedly from the air and with gunboats from the sea. When one Israeli pilot hesitated, refusing to attack what was clearly an American ship, he was instructed to proceed anyway.
The most disgusting part of the tale relates to how U.S. warplanes sent to the Liberty's aid from an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean were called back by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara acting under orders from President Lyndon Baines Johnson, who declared that he would rather see the ship go to the bottom of the sea than embarrass his good friend Israel. Ironically, the first ship to reach the Liberty and offer assistance was from the Soviet Union, an offer that was declined.
Johnson was reportedly feared Jewish influence over Congress and in the media, which might work together to block his "Great Society" legislative initiatives, not to mention his expected reelection bid in 1968. It was an early manifestation of the power of the Jewish lobby in American politics and foreign relations. One has to hope that both LBJ and McNamara are currently burning in hell.
I certainly do. You can read the whole thing here:
My conclusion? Israel is no friend of the United States. Countries don't have 'friends,' just (temporary) allies, as Lord What's-his-name said. And if they did, Israel wouldn't qualify.
But I'm all for Israel taking care of itself, though I'd advise them not to be so damn ham-handed about it. In fact, I think we need to emulate Israel in many ways. I mean, Israel would never put the interests of some tiny pissant county ahead of its own. It would never open its borders to the Third World and allow its citizens to be massacred without consequence. Nor should we. Unfortunately, many American pro-Zionists, while supporting Israel's right to do whatever it damn pleases, are opposed to the US defending its borders, people, sovereignty or whatever else in any way whatsoever. Why waste our money doing stuff like that when we could just send it to Israel instead?

A strikeout on settlements: Why Obama's diplomacy is flailingSeptember 29, 2010
Every so often, the sayings of Casey Stengel come to mind. The longtime manager of the New York Yankees, accustomed to a Prussian professionalism, moved over to the astonishingly hapless New York Mets in 1962 and, surveying his new team, uttered an exasperated question: "Can't anybody here play this game?" What applied to those Mets applies now to the Obama administration. In the Middle East, it's no hits and plenty of errors.

On Tuesday, UNC released its injury report ahead of Thursday night's Coastal Division game at Virginia and, for the first time all season, categorized all 12 players listed under an "out for the season" heading.
Barth, a 2012 Lou Groza Award semifinalist, left the game on Saturday after appearing to injure his left leg while attempting to make a tackle on a kickoff return. He made 15-of-19 field goal attempts this season.
The Wilmington, N.C. native is UNC's all-time leader in career field goals made (66), career extra points made (160) and consecutive extra points made (126). He set a single-season school record for consecutive extra points made (44) with four PATs on Saturday. Barth also became the school's all-time leading scorer this season (358).
The fifth-year senior earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2009 and honorable mention in 2010.
Red-shirt freshman defensive back Sam Smiley, who started at the Ram position on Saturday, finished the season with 26 tackles in seven games.
The other 10 players, all of whom were on last week's injury report, are as follows: freshman wide receiver Kedrick Davis, sophomore tight end Sean Fitzpatrick, freshman fullback Connor Gonet, sophomore tackle T.J. Leifheit, junior linebacker Darius Lipford, freshman running back Travis Riley, freshman placekicker Miller Snyder, sophomore wide receiver T.J. Thorpe, senior offensive tackle Brennan Williams and freshman linebacker Phil Williamson.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Dinner and a movie. It's been a classic date combo since the early days of the silver screen. You fill up on tasty food, take in a rom-com while you digest, and if all goes well, return home to get it on. But this is Miami, where all rarely goes well. Traffic sucks, you can get caught in a rainstorm at any second, and public transportation is essentially nonexistent — all of which means getting you and your date from the restaurant to the movie theater can be a frustrating, and potentially sex-sabotaging, process. Unless, that is, you've taken your date to CineBistro, where the restaurant is the movie theater and vice versa. CineBistro shows all the big-name movies you'll find at every other theater in the 305. But show up at the Dolphin Mall location at least 30 minutes before showtime and you can select from a full menu of appetizers, main courses, and desserts to eat while you watch. There's also booze galore: wine, beer, and specialty cocktails. So you get to watch a movie with a real drink in your hand, as opposed to a Sprite bottle filled with vodka that you smuggled in. And you won't have to worry about kids crying or shuffling off to the bathroom every five minutes, because this theater doubles as a bar, so CineBistro movies are 21-plus only. It all adds up to the most convenient, hassle-free movie experience in Miami — getting there, getting fed, and getting through a whole feature film without annoyances. Getting laid afterward is, of course, up to you.

Women. You know you can't live without them. But it sure helps if the one you're living with can carry on a conversation without using words like irregardless, high-larious, and — our personal favorite — anyways. Where can you find such a woman without having to scour comic-book conventions and Scrabble meetups? You want brains, but you could do without dressing up like Pikachu and engaging in cutthroat board-game play. Enter the SWAN Spoken Soul Festival, a celebration of women artists that climaxes with the Spoken Soul Showcase, an event featuring artists, singer/songwriters, photographers, and spoken-word artists — all of whom are female. In honor of International SWAN (Supporting Women Artists Now) Day, organizer, actress, and spoken-word artist Deborah Magdalena created an event that — wait for it — brings together the most talented, bright, creative, and (dare we say it?) beautiful women in Miami. Besides knowing who Mondrian is, female artists got swag. They're easy on the eyes — and that helps soothe the pain when they're laying the smackdown on you in a game of Words With Friends. If you're a dude looking for a brainy chick, your best bet is the Spoken Soul Showcase. If you're a chick looking for a brainy female, attend the Sunday brunch, which is ladies only. It's like shooting female Mensa fish in a barrel.
Face it: Spending your weekends at South Beach clubs hasn't helped your search for the perfect man. You want someone funny, handsome, and smart, but the majority of men bobbing their heads to the DJ's uhntz-uhntz are about as interesting as that recycled Madonna beat. Don't despair — the answer to your prayers is located right around the corner on Ocean Drive. In the middle of the art deco district, you'll find Effusion Gallery. Not only will you get a taste of Miami's culture through local artists' works, but also you just might find the man of your dreams. Sure, you'll occasionally encounter a hipster who overanalyzes every piece while wearing pants that are tighter than yours. But no doubt there will be at least one attractive smarty-pants checking out the scene. Replace that EDM with pop art; your ears and your love life will thank you.
It's 4 a.m. and you still haven't found a special lady with whom you can have a semi-inebriated conversation. You are thinking of calling it a night — but slow down there, buddy. There is a watering hole in downtown Miami perfect for meeting women who aren't ready to call it a night. Appropriately named the Corner — because it sits on the corner of NE 11th Street and North Miami Avenue — the bar takes its cues from places such as the Room in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood and Living Room at the W South Beach in that it offers the carefully crafted cocktails of the latter with the craft beers and cheap pints of PBR of the former. The women who frequent the Corner are of the hipster variety, so their ears will perk up if you complain how gentrified Wynwood has become. If you really want to impress her, skip the cheap beer and order her a Falerno ($14). Served in a small goblet, the cocktail combines Diplomático rum, Luxardo maraschino liqueur, candied ginger, and citrus. Notes of clove and allspice dance on the palate, giving it a sexy mouth-feel without being called something silly like Sex on the Beach. And we haven't even told you the best part. If you arrive at 4 in the morning, take your time in wooing your future girlfriend. Last call at the Corner is nonexistent, as long as there are willing patrons. The establishment is the only bar in the 305 with a 24-hour liquor license — not counting nearby megaclubs like Space and Mekka — thanks to its location in the Miami Entertainment District.
Granted, the guys who regularly hang at Hooters to suck down pitchers might not be moneyed, but they obviously dig chicks — and not only the ones with wings. Heck, they congregate at a place known for exposing so much of its staff's cleavage that the servers don't even expect patrons to look them in the eye. According to general manager Peter Gonzalez, peak man hours are Fridays at lunchtime (understandably, because the restaurant offers a slew of menu items for under $7) and Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at dinnertime. Unfortunately the city put the kibosh on the eatery's motorcycle meetups — perhaps the sight of all those choppers and their leather-clad bosses put the Coral Gables ne'er-do-wells on red alert — but loads of dudes can still be found there on a regular basis. Like the Latin look, ladies? Stop by during pay-per-view boxing matches. Want variety? Head over when the Heat plays. And here's more advice: Don't try to compete with the Hooters girls. The guys already know that most of those gals are out of their league. Instead, be yourself, dress as you normally would, and don't seem so interested in what's on TV that you can't be engaged in conversation. Oh, and if you go for the first time and don't find anyone who gets your loins warm, at least you can order a plate of 3-Mile Island wings and fire up your face. See? It's a win-win.

Restoration in the Offshore Kwanza Basin, Angola: Linked Zones
Michael R. Hudec,1 Martin P. A. Jackson,1 Leonor F. Binga,2 Joaquim C. Da Silva,2 Res Fraenkl,3 and Wytse Sikkema3
A 208-km-long dip line extending from the shelf break in Block 7 to the abyssal plain has been restored. Structural and stratigraphic patterns suggest at least 25 km of seaward translation down the continental slope, mostly in the Miocene to Recent. This estimate is consistent with timing and magnitude of extension on the continental shelf. In response to seaward translation, an allochthonous salt sheet at the downdip end of the system has advanced 25 km over the abyssal plain. We thus interpret the Angola Escarpment as the leading edge of a salt-lubricated contractional overthrust, which we term the Angola Salt Nappe.
The interpretation of allochthonous salt at the downdip end of the Kwanza Basin is based on several observations: (1) abyssal-plain sediment reflectors project under the base of the salt; (2) the width of the contractional allochthonous salt is similar to amounts of extension and translation observed farther landward; (3) the salt nappe is the only structure capable of absorbing the extension induced by raft tectonics occurring on the continental shelf.
More recently, seaward translation along the salt décollement was blocked above a basement step near the shelf break. Blocking caused diapirs landward of the step to shorten and be rejuvenated. Because translation is no longer being fed out into the downdip end of the system, the Angola Salt Nappe has ceased advancing and is now undergoing extensional collapse.

Uriens of Gore
Malory lists Uriens as one of the kings bound to Uther by marriage to Morgan le Fay. Malory relates
for our further understanding that Uriens is Sir Ewain's le Blanchemain's father. Later in Book 1 Chapter
12, when describing the eleven kings arrayed against Arthur, Malory calls him Urience, father of Uwain but it is
evident they are the same and the change is one of misreading the way the name was used in the sources.
Malory does not make the chronology clear as to when Uriens marries Morgan, but we can make some conjectures.
Following Arthur's marriage and the defeat of the five kings, Morgan plots against Arthur and Uriens to place
Accolon of Gaul and herself on the throne. Uwaine stops Morgan from killing Uriens in his bed.
From the story line, Uwaine must be a newly established young knight, giving us a probable age
of around sixteen. From my chronology, Arthur is nineteen which would place Uriens and Morgan's wedding
about two years after Uther and Igraine's. Uther sent Morgan to a nunnery at the time of his marriage to Igraine
and married off Igraine's other daughters. Morgan is too young for marriage but it is possible that she was betrothed
to Uriens. Two years later, Uther is in his sickbed and close to death. He leaves it only at Merlin's
insistence to defeat his enemies at St. Alban's. This period matches our guess as to the date of the marriage
and makes good political sense. Morgan marries Uriens either by assent of Uther or by force. Uriens would have
taken these steps to secure his potential rise to power.
We do not hear from Uriens again until after the war with Rience and the interment of Lot and the
eleven kings. Malory states that Uriens (Ewaine's father) and Morgan came to the funeral. But perhaps he
was there all along. With Malory's common misreading or understanding of his diverse sources and his
regular name changes (even here with Ewaine versus Uwaine), it is probable that Uriens (Urience as he is
called at the time of the rebellion of the eleven kings) is none other than Rience. Both are from North Wales
(Malory makes a distinction stating that Uriens is from Gore). Both have rebelled against Arthur. We can
note that Uriens disappears just as Rience appears, then after his defeat, Uriens reappears and Rience is
missing as circumstantial evidence (but circumstantial evidence adds up). We can see similar name
variations in Malory's text, especially whenever he seems to be trying to rectify conflicts in the
story. Malory continues to mention a King of North Wales as Arthur's enemy but he makes no
clarifications so that we can identify him.
Uriens is named a knight of the Round Table after the war of the five kings. His name is
not mentioned in that conflict and was probably one of the nobles sent a message to come to Arthur's
aid. It is shortly after this conflict that Morgan attempts her betrayal. Uriens goes hunting with Arthur
and Accolon. They are separated during the hunt from the hunting party and chase a hart across country
until it is taken by one of the hunting dogs at the edge of a great water. Our group of warriors is on foot at
this point, having ridden their horses to death and nightfall is rapidly approaching. A silk draped ship on
the waters pulls into the shore and the warriors are greeted and feasted
by twelve damosels. After the meal, they are separated into private chambers.
When Uriens awakes, he finds himself back in Camelot in his chamber. We do not
know what Uriens did during that day or so when he found himself mysteriously
transported back to Camelot; but Morgan's plan continues afoot and when she
deems that Accolon has defeated and killed Arthur, she moves to complete her
plan and slay Uriens. It is noteworthy that she attempts to do the murder
herself. For up to this point, she has always relied on the hands of others to
do her deeds. Yet, we find her taking Uriens' own sword to murder him in his
sleep. We know that Morgan did not love him or Arthur. What we do not know is
how much she hated Uriens, for it must have been great to force her to bloody
her own hands. Uwaine stops his mother in the act and is convinced by her to
keep the attempted murder secret. When Arthur returns from the abbey where his
wounds were treated, he forces Uriens to expel his son from court as a possible
accomplice to Morgan's plot.

Good morning. It's another busy day on Capitol Hill as the Senate picks leaders for the 112th Congress and nearly 100 new lawmakers continue their freshman orientation sessions.
The House ethics committee is scheduled to meet again this morning to consider 13 charges against Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y. USA TODAY's Fredreka Schouten was there Monday when Rangel walked out of the proceedings.
Rep. Heath Shuler, D-N.C., a leading member of the fiscally conservative Blue Dog Coalition, has formally launched his long-shot bid for House minority leader against Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
In Alaska, GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski has pulled ahead of Republican Joe Miller as the count of write-in ballots continues. Murkowski was critical of ex-Alaska governor Sarah Palin, who endorsed Miller, telling Katie Couric of CBS that Palin lacks the "intellectual curiosity" to be a good president.
A Tea Party organization, the American Majority, holds a news conference today on its plans for the 2012 elections. The Washington Post reports on efforts by Freedom Works, a group headed by former House majority leader Dick Armey, to hold accountable the new lawmakers who were elected with its support and those of other groups affiliated with the anti-tax, small-government movement.

Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Nov 13, 2007
Western Wind Energy is pleased to announce that negotiations have commenced with several major wind turbine manufacturers for the delivery of up to 120 MW of nameplate wind turbine generators in the Mega watt and Multi Mega watt class. The wind turbines will be deployed on Western Wind Energy's Windstar project located in Tehachapi, California. Delivery is anticipated in late 2008 and commissioning is anticipated in early 2Q 2009.
Windstar has received a construction permit number from Kern County and Western Wind has completed all archeological, biological, soils analysis and visual impact studies with a conclusion of "no significant impact". Windstar is located within a project area of over 5,000 wind turbine generators delivering an annual output of 1.4 billion kilowatt hours from over 700 MW of nameplate capacity.

The hold period for these units and the underlying securities expires on February 20, 2008. With respect to the second tranche of 20,000 units, one warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $1.75 per share until November 9, 2009. The hold period for these units and the underlying securities expires on March 10, 2008.
In connection with the private placement, the Company paid to Loewen, Ondaatje, McCutcheon Limited a finder's fee of $105,000 and 25,000 finders units, each unit comprised of one common share and one share purchase warrant, and finders warrants to acquire 100,000 common shares of the Company.
Western Wind Energy also paid to Ascenta Finance Corp. a finder's fee of $113,120 and finders warrants to acquire 49,000 common shares of the Company. The Company also paid to Canaccord Capital Corporation a finder's fee of $10,080 and finders warrants to acquire 7,200 common shares of the Company.
The Company also paid to Euro Pacific Capital a finder's fee of $16,800 and finder's warrants to acquire 12,000 common shares of the Company. Each finder's warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $1.75 per share until October 19, 2009.
The hold periods for the shares, warrants and the underlying securities expires on February 20, 2008. The proceeds will be used for development of the Company's projects.
Western Wind Energy is the largest producing pure wind energy, publicly traded company (non-income trust) in North America. Western Wind Energy currently produces 34.5 MW of energy from over 500 wind turbine generators located in Southern California.
Western Wind also has over 155 MW of expansion power sales agreements with the associated projects in the late stage of development. In addition, Western Wind Energy has a credible pipeline of over 1,300 MW of site locations in the State of California.
Western Wind Energy currently produces clean renewable electrical energy from over 500 wind turbine generators located in Tehachapi (Windridge) and San Gorgonio Pass (Palm Springs), California. Western Wind Energy's annualized energy output is approximately 75 billion watt hours per year.
During the past two years, Western Wind Energy has executed or acquired over $1 billion of power sales agreements totaling 154.5 megawatts from the sale of wind energy electrical generation, to two separate utilities. Western Wind Energy was the first to execute a "wind" PPA in the State of Arizona, and in California, is expanding from management's 26-year continuous operating history in the Tehachapi Pass.
Western Wind Energy is in the business of acquiring exceptional land sites, capital and technology for the production of electricity from wind energy. Western Wind Energy conducts its operations through its wholly owned subsidiaries in Arizona and California.
Management of Western Wind Energy includes individuals involved in the operations and ownership of utility scale wind energy facilities in California since 1981.

While almost no one uses this forum anymore, I feel compelled to come back to my roots. For those of you who don't know me, I played this game from the NA launch until last June. I made a lot of friends in the time I played, but because of my duties as a US Marine I was pulled away from the game for quite a while.
To all my friends who may read this site still:
I'm coming soon to a theater near you! Look for me! My Elvaan face has grown gray with hair. I'm an old man in Final Fantasy years, but I'm coming back!
Honor Always,
