Areas of Study
General Studies
Certain courses focus on areas that are not usually covered in the Bryn Mawr curriculum and provide a supplement to the areas more regularly covered; these are called General Studies courses and are listed in the Course Guide under this heading. Courses that cut across a number of disciplines and emphasize relationships among them are cross-listed and described under the departments that sponsor them.
Many general studies courses are open, without prerequisite, to all students. With the permission of the major department, they may be taken for major credit.
GNST B101. African Civilizations: An Interdisciplinary Introduction to Africana Studies
The required course introduces students to African societies, cultures and political economies with an emphasis on change and response among African people in Africa and outside. (Ngalamulume, Hucks, Division I)
GNST B103, GNST B105. Introduction to Swahili Language and Culture I and II
(Mshomba, Division I and III)
GNST B104. Learning Foreign Languages
GNST B111. Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies
GNST B112. The Great Questions of Russian Literature
(Allen, Division III) Not offered in 2004-05.
GNST B209. Conflict Resolution in Community Settings
The purpose of this Praxis II course is to learn basic components of conflict and conflict resolution, and to apply these skills in a community setting. The course will combine theory and practice focusing on the application of conflict-resolution models in multiracial, multicultural community settings. Students will do six to eight hurs of fieldwork a week in a community setting. The class will meet weekly to hear lectures, share learning, discuss issues and present case studies. (staff, Division I) Not offered in 2004-05.
GNST B213. Introduction to Mathematical Logic
Equational logics and the equational theories of algebra are used as an introduction to mathematical logic. While the basics of the grammar and deductive systems of these logics are covered, the primary focus is their semantics or model theory. Particular attention is given to those ideas and results that anticipate developments in classical first-order model theory. Prerequisites: Philosophy 103 and Mathematics 231. (Weaver, Division II)
GNST B214. Modal Logic
This course examines the Kripke "possible world" semantics for a family of logics whose logical vocabulary contains 'necessity' and 'possibility.' Primary emphasis is given to sentential logics and the modal extensions. Techniques are developed for establishing completeness, compactness and interpolation results. Time permitting, both quantified modal logics and temporal logics will also be considered. Prerequisite: Philosophy 103 or its equivalent. (Weaver, Division II)
GNST B215. Introduction to Set Theory: Cardinals and Ordinals
Study of the theory of cardinal and ordinal numbers in the context of G-del-Bernays-von Neumann set theory. Topics include equivalents of the axiom of choice and basic results in infinite combinatorics. Prerequisites: Philosophy 103 and Mathematics 231. (Weaver, Division II or Quantitative Skills) Not offered in 2004-05.
GNST B224. Gender and Science
(staff) Not offered in 2004-05.
GNST B225. Healing, Harming and Humanism
Healing is a dialogue; every encounter between a doctor and patient is unique. This course explores the evolution of this relationship from ancient times to the "anxious times" of the 20th century. In so doing we will have occasion to reevaluate our personal understanding of aging, death, disease and healing — what it means to "get better," the importance of accepting and not accepting continued suffering, and our own aging and dying. Readings will be drawn from the Bible and other religious texts; ancient texts; plays, novels, poetry and essays by modern writers; and current medical literature. (Thaler, Division III) Not offered in 2004-05.
GNST B239. Introduction to Linguistics
(Raimy, Division I)
GNST B290. Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender
(Tensuan, Division III) Offered at Haverford as General Programs 290 in 2004-05.
GNST B303. Advanced Mathematical Logic
This course develops various advanced topics in the branch of mathematical logic called model theory. Topics include homogeneous models, universal models, saturated and special models, back-and-forth constructions, ultraproducts, the compactness and Lowenheim-Skolem theorems, submodel complete theories, model complete theories, and omega-categorical theories. Prerequisite: General Studies 213 or Haverford Mathematics 237. (Weaver) Not offered in 2004-05.

I'd like to share my thoughts on it .
Both Obito and Kakashi die in the war . Tsunade dies in the hands of Madara , Hashirama gets angry and fights him . To put it simply , I think that on this war , Obito , Kakashi and Tsunade will die , while Madara will seal the hokages , and then be sealed by Naruto and Sasuke . After a little time skip , Naruto becomes Hokage , and visits Kakashi's and Obito's grave everyday . While Sasuke , I think that he will protect Konoha from the shadows , I mean , he will not be a Konoha shinobi , but he will protect it from those who will attack it . About Orochimaru's case , I think he will continue his experiments , and start a mini war against Konoha , this will be the final arc . Otogakure/Hidden Sound vs Konoha/Hidden Leaf . In the end , Orochimaru gets defeated but he will not die , he gives up on destroying Konoha , and continues his experiments himself . About Kabuto , I think he will be trapped forever in Izanami . I don't know , I feel bad for him though , but I doubt that he will acknowledge his true self . Shikamaru will be Naruto's advisor , and Sakura will marry Naruto ( Sorry , I'm a NaruSaku fan Lol )
That's all I got to say .

A drunk truck driver almost four times the legal limit was dobbed in to police after nervous witnesses watched him drive along a freeway south-east of Melbourne.
Warragul residents phoned triple-0 after spotting the B-double prime mover travelling on the Princes Freeway. Officers intercepted him near the Drouin overpass just after 10pm.
After a returning a positive preliminary breath test, the driver blew 0.195 in a second test at a police station, a police spokeswoman said.
The licence of the Junction Village driver, 55, was immediately suspended. Police expect to charge him on summons with offences including reckless conduct endangering a person, drink driving and driving in a manner dangerous.

The origin of these pieces is taken from the even earlier art of the paper silhouette. An art form where a figure such as a human profile was portrayed by cutting out the silhouette with black paper and then pasting it to a white ground and framing under glass.
Most were in what many used to refer to as the story book style, Fairytale, or Wizard of Oz style. A style that was a highly popular one during the late 1910-30's period, but carried over until the late 1950's early 1960's.
The images were every conceivable fantasy and contrivance that one can imagine. Every thing from happy cowboys and Indians silhouettes to 18th century lovers. The lovers theme being one of the most common.
Many times they were sold as pairs having a carryover background and male female silhouettes playing off of each other.
I was fourtunate to pick up a good sized collection from a local collector a while back and have them currantly available at Antiques Plus. Above I have an image of some of them. Below I have a few close ups to illustrate some of the many different vingettes that are available. If one wishes to view them in person, just stop on by and have a look, but one might want to hurry. As of the time of this post I have already sold a couple of the ones that I have pictured here. These nostalgic pieces always go quickly.
These Silhouettes on Glass have become popular enough for a price guid to have been published in 2000.

Baltimore doesn't have the best D either
Obviously, the Bears are better. They're allowing 7.2 points per game. But the Broncos have to be put up there as well, they've allowed just 7.4 points per game and only one touchdown all season, and that touchdown came with 5 mins to go in the 4th quarter after they were already up 17-0 on the Pats @ Gillette. San Diego is giving up fewer yards than any team in the NFL, but they're giving up points too (the 49ers scored 19 on them in the 1st half). I'd rank us ahead of SD, but I definitely give the edge to Chicago and Denver right now, especially after our secondary got lit up like a Christmas tree at home. We're probably the 3rd best defense in the business right about now.

A BRIGHTLY coloured Easter-themed taxi is travelling around Poole to raise money for a children's hospital unit.
Belonging to Paul Owen from Poole Radio Cabs, the vehicle has been turned into a multi-coloured menagerie with toy chicks, ribbon and pictures of Easter eggs, to fundraise for Gully's Place, based at Poole Hospital.
The special care children's unit offers a place for kids and young people who require palliative and end-of-life care or those with autism who need a quiet and relaxed environment while receiving hospital treatment.
Paul said: "It's really nice to see not only the looks on children's faces, but on adult's faces too, as they do a double take or use their phones to take a picture as I drive past. In December, I raised £1,113 for Gully's Place when I decorated my taxi for Christmas, thanks to donations from customers.

Another record profit and dividend from the Commonwealth Bank, which reports on Wednesday, should put the latest rate cut in perspective.
The banks are awash with money because no one is borrowing - or defaulting, for that matter.
But amid the windfall for shareholders, many of their customers, typically self-funded retirees, are having to make do with a falling income.
Either they watch their supposedly safe income get whittled away as they're forced to draw out more and more capital to make up for the interest shortfall, or they have to take some risks to get a better return.
The system is stacked in favour of taking a punt. Franked dividends on shares come with a 30 per cent tax credit. For retirees who pay no tax, that even becomes a 30 per cent refund on the value of the dividend, though it would drop to 28.5 per cent under the Coalition because it would cut the company tax rate - but who's quibbling?
If you put your money into anything earning interest, there's nothing. Wayne Swan promised a 50 per cent tax discount on any interest up to $500 in the 2010-11 budget, rising to $1000, which would have started last July. Except last year, he discovered ''concerns with the complexity involved in calculating the discount and its overall effectiveness'' so ''decided not to proceed'' with it.
Heavens above, how complex is dividing something by half? No wonder he could never produce a surplus.
So after 12 months, a $100,000 term deposit will pay ''less than $53'' after tax and inflation, according to Canstar.
Retirees are often in no position to take any risks with their capital - not sure I would either - so the only question is whether to stay short or commit to a term deposit, and for how long?
In fact, it boils down to either spreading your money between at-call and different maturities or going for broke - oops, wrong word - with a five-year term deposit of 4.7 per cent.
An online account could drop further - and not even the Reserve Bank knows whether it will have to cut rates again.
While it's hard to see interest rates for the next five years will still only hover around 4.7 per cent, who knows?
But don't think switching from at-call into a term deposit will protect you from the latest cut. Term-deposit rates have already priced it in.
And don't be caught by a little trick of the banks known as dual pricing, where a higher rate is offered than on nearby maturities. At rollover time, that's the term that will have the lowest rate.
But if you're drawing on capital anyway because your returns are so low, what's so risky about buying bank shares and doubling your annual income, if you're willing to hold them for five years?
Or if you think rates have bottomed, buy them just before a dividend is declared and sell them after 13 months.
That gives three, probably rising, dividends, with the franking tax credit thrown in.
In the CBA's case, that's a yield of at least 9.7 per cent.

Prosecutor Tawanda Zvekare told a Harare magistrate that the case could not be heard as the state was deliberating medical reports relating to Vermeulen's mental health.
"The accused is to be remanded (out of custody) to July 11," Zvekare said adding that "the medical affidavit which we were waiting for has been compiled, and we are (still) making final deliberations."
The 28-year-old batsman, who played the last of his eight Test matches in 2004, faces two counts of arson and will face 25 years in prison with hard labour if convicted.
Vermeulen is accused of first trying to torch the association's boardroom at the Harare Sports Club ground in October last year and then burning down the pavilion at the training academy the following day.
As part of his defence, Vermeulen has been examined by a psychiatrist.
Another medical report from Australia describing the effects of a serious skull fracture he sustained in January 2004, has also been submitted.

Positive Feedback ISSUE 54
acoustic system international
Noise Filters, aka Sugar Cubes - The Audio Rubik's Cube
as reviewed by Marshall Nack
Taking Inventory
So, what's next? With the recent re-wiring of my system with Kubala-Sosna Elation! cables, I had arrived at a point of contentedness. My sound was at a pinnacle, certainly the most satisfying I've achieved. I sat back and basked nightly in these gains.
That lasted about two months, and I began suffering again from my audio addiction. I set to pondering what else I might want to work on and identified two neglected areas.
The system could use a little more of that old soundstage alchemy. I do enjoy the stereophonic illusion of 3-D. (Let's be on the level here: In truth, it is an illusion. In live performance, I've never heard anything approaching the precise layering and placement certain systems produce. At best I get left and right horizontal cues and fore and aft depth ones. Some systems enable you to draw the seating chart used by the stagehands.)
Playback artifact, microphone byproduct—whatever you call it—there's no denying a modicum of it enhances listening pleasure and involvement. The thing to keep in mind is never let it become your primary objective. Make sure to keep this lollipop in perspective.
I could also use more freedom—dynamic and timbral (or tonal) freedom, to be exact. Anything suggesting constriction, anything that gets in the way of full dynamic expansion or timbral development, is anathema. Soundstaging precision and freedom: Ha! That's a good one! Can you think of two more antithetical objectives? Working on just one of these at a time is enough of a challenge.
The Evolution of my Tweaks
I sensed that the gear was not the major culprit. Instead, I looked around the room and my eye alighted on the acoustic treatments on the walls.
These have evolved over time from:
Golden Sound Acoustic Discs → Harmonix RFA-78i Room Tuning Discs → Marigo VTS Dots.
The Marigo Dots, the product I'm currently using, are very good at strengthening the precision aspect. If this is your first attempt at room tuning, you'll find they make a marvelous improvement. If you've been through this a few times like me, over time you'll notice they don't help timbre. As a matter of fact, there was a correlation: the more I applied Marigo Dots to increase control, the greater a corresponding sense of tightening and drying up of timbre. I found my culprit.
And so we come to the Acoustic Systems International Sugar Cubes. At RMAF 2010, I found myself admiring the acoustic in the Avatar Acoustics room. It was highly developed, with attractive bloom, yet had good control. I inquired and learned how Darren Censulo, the room's proprietor, achieved this—with ASI Resonators and Sugar Cube room treatments.
Avatar Acoustics at RMAF 2010
I arranged to have some SC sent over. (Note: I had already reviewed and subsequently purchased a complement of ASI Resonators, which are judiciously placed around my room and became part of my reference system.) In the meantime, preparatory conversation with Darren and perusing the Web on the subject gave me basic instructions and the impression of a highly tweakable tweak. We'll get to that soon enough.
The front wall of my room behind the speakers has a large window area. This is covered with a double-thick curtain when I'm listening. I put four SC on the side panels and one in the center of the window. I was told they would work even if placed behind a curtain.
First Impressions
Bam! Right away, I got what I was after.
Let's use Prokofiev's Violin Concerto #2, with Jascha Heifetz and Charles Munch conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a marvelous RCA Shaded Dog LP from 1959 (LSC-2314). Talk about staging! Orchestral sections are laid out left-right, layered front to back, and the stage seems to exist in a space unrelated to my room. Physical boundaries have become permeable. This recording is well known for its soundstaging, and the 3-D effect became as well developed as I've ever heard it. Heifetz is locked dead center, a little too forward and prominent, and his image is taller than before. (I'm sure that's the way it was recorded.)
Obviously, my residential living room will never support the kind of SPL peaks possible in a concert hall. Regardless of how many watts you throw at your speakers—it ain't gonna happen. But the SC seem to lift the room's capacity, allowing you to play louder cleanly, before it goes poof and flattens out. The upshot is a wider, more impressive dynamic range.
Heifetz's violin tone improved as well. I used to think the Iceman earned his nickname from his piercing high notes and icy cold energy on recordings like this. Well, now his treble string is of a piece with the other three. The SC somehow cured his treble stridency and evened out the tone. On the bottom, bass was tight and powerful. Overall, it seemed cleaner and quieter.
Apart from what I've said above, the thing that really sets the SC (and the Resonators) apart is how natural the affects appear. The way the stage is laid out, the roundness of individual instruments and their edges, how they project into the room—all feel right. Your mind accepts them. (Even though you know you've never heard such staging / imaging in life.) This is just as important—nay, more important—than all of the rest of the effects. This was heightened precision that you could relax into.
An ASI Sugar Cube doesn't look like much, a small Rosewood cuboid that is affixed to the wall with Blutack.
Happily, they don't cost much, either (MSRP $12/each). I replaced the balance of the Marigo Dots—so long, they were good while they lasted, but the time had come to say adieu. All told, I placed 20 SC around the room and was quite pleased with the swap.
Front right corner before
Front right corner after
Caveat Emptor
Mid way through this review I received a second batch of 20 SCs, which I promptly put into play. This was overkill. Just as I found with the ASI Resonators, a quantity well below the manufacturer's recommendations was optimum: in my case, 6 Resonators and 32 Sugar Cubes.
The Art of Tuning a Room
The Blutack comes in handy, as it allows easy re-positioning of the SC. That's a good thing, because you will no doubt need to re-position them. The first generation of SC had no holes; the second gen had a 1mm hole bored through one side; the current third gen has two holes on one side and one hole on another. The orientation of these holes gives you a powerful tuning device. Start with the two-holed side pointing to the ceiling. This is the most open and neutral and won't affect tonal balance. Need more wood tone and warmth? Switch to one-hole side vertical. Even warmer, go to a no-hole side up. You can rotate them individually or do the whole lot. I'm told the height of each cube on the wall also matters: vertical positioning impacts different frequency bands. The permutations inspired one visitor to dub the SCs the Audio Rubik's Cube.
There are general directions included in the packaging. Read them over until they sink in. Then decide how to deploy the SC in your room. First treat the front wall behind the speakers. Secondary areas are large windows, glass doors—any large glass surface—and ceiling corners.
Sugar Cube Placement Instructions - Front Wall View
Room acoustics is the 800 lb. gorilla lurking in the corner. It is critically important, yet doesn't get a lot of airplay. As anyone who has worked on their room can attest, most likely they came away humbled by the endeavor. Because once you get beyond the basics, like treating the first reflections on the sidewalls or the ceiling corners, the products' promotional advertising does not jive with their effects in your room. All too often you do not get the results you're looking for. How many times have you re-done your room? Tuning a room is a lot more art than science. We cannot be so bold as to believe we have a handle on this.
Similarly, I readily confess I don't have a clue as to the active principles at work with the Acoustic System International Sugar Cubes. But do I need to know? What's important is they provide the results I wanted—soundstage control with wide-open dynamics and full timbral development.
The evolution of room acoustic products continues with the Acoustic System International Sugar Cubes. Combined with the ASI Resonators, I'm getting terrific results. These are the best room tuning tools I've tried to date. Marshall Nack

Courtney Love Covers '99 Problems' and It's Surprisingly Decent...
It's too hard to wrap your head around. How can Courtney Love cover Jay-Z's, "99 Problem," in a respectable manner? Biggest comeback of the year? No, but give her a high five. Via The AWL:
Would you like to watch Courtney Love playing an acoustic-guitar cover of Jay-Z's "99 Problems" at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah this past weekend? She doesn't do my favorite part, the third verse, when Jay-Z outsmarts the cop who pulls him over. But this is better than you might have imagined it would be.

Philadelphia • Ten years from now, the Utah women's basketball team will look back on what it accomplished the final six games of the 2012-13 season with a sense of satisfaction and pride, coach Anthony Levrets said.
But on Saturday in a small, unfamiliar arena far from home, the way it ended in a heartbreaking 46-43 defeat at the hands of the Drexel Dragons just hurt.
"It's just tough to take, the way it went down," Utah senior guard Iwalani Rodrigues said of her final college game.
Rodrigues' defense on Drexel's leading scorer, senior Hollie Mershon, was brilliant for much of the game. The 20-point scorer went 5 for 20, including 1 for 8 in the first half. But a play the Dragons call "Zip" shook Mershon loose for a layup with 21 seconds left, and that proved to be the game winner.
"I just played," said Rodrigues, who scored Utah's first five points and finished with a team-high 12. "I tried to keep her from doing everything. … I felt like I did a great job. She came up and made a couple tough ones that put them in the lead."
Michelle Plouffe also kept the Utes in the game, grabbing a game-high 14 rebounds, but at least she will get another chance next season, she said.
With Utah trailing by three in the final seconds, Plouffe got a pretty good look at a 3-pointer, but it wasn't to be.
"The look was there," said Plouffe, who made 58 treys this season. "I just fumbled the ball a little bit and then I had to hurry and put it up."
After Mershon's free throws put Drexel up 46-43 with 9.7 seconds left, the Utes were setting up a play when the Dragons knocked the ball out of bounds with 2.6 seconds left. Levrets said they wanted the ball in Plouffe's hands, and that's where it went.
"She's a big-time player," he said. "More often than not, she [hits] that shot."

For Miami Senior High (Fla.) 6-foot, 180-pound point guard Edwin Rios, it is all-basketball – all the time.
Rios is just a sophomore, but he's already establishing himself as one of the elite point guards in the country – regardless of class.
``He can score in so many ways," Miami Senior coach Marcus Carrera said. "He can shoot, drive the ball, he's fearless and he's been defending. There are just so many ways he can hurt you."
Rios, 16, is a big-time scorer and one of the top outside shooters in the nation. He's averaging 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists per game this season and admits that he still needs to work on making better decisions with the basketball. However, his recent play, along with an impressive summer, drew a look from the Duke staff.
``I was going to class and my coach, Marcus Carrera, told me that Duke was going to come watch me," Rios said. "That's a big thing for me having a college like that see me. I was amazed and didn't believe it until the next week, when I came to practice and saw one of their assistant coaches. It was like a dream come true for me."
Along with the Blue Devils, Rios also likes Miami, Cincinnati, Wake Forest and Florida State.
``At this point, I think I really like Duke," added Rios.
However, it's still unclear whether the interest in mutual and the Blue Devils feel that Rios is a good fit for their program.
Rios plays extremely hard, is aggressive, poised and also has a 3.0 GPA. His father, Edwin, who lived in New York for a few years, compares his son to a young Kenny Anderson.
He takes losing so hard that he goes to his room and doesn't come out for the rest of the night after a loss.
``I know I'm a sore loser," Rios said. "I'm just so competitive and hate to lose."

Please, tell your kids: stay away from pipes and drains

THE grieving parents of Richard Baird are calling on the community to look out for each other so a similar tragedy will never needlessly claim another young life.
Richard, 8, was playing in a storm drain on Sunday afternoon with friends when rising waters caught them.
He died on Monday.

Jason Baird and wife Alison Wunungmurra had been confident to let Richard go off and play with friends – the kids were warned on drains, but the parents had no idea how accessible Palmerston's drains could be.
"We want this story to get out to Australia and the community," Alison said.
"We want parents to be aware and to talk about it and to keep talking about it.
"If you see kids playing in drains, don't drive on. Get out and make sure they leave, then call someone."
Importantly, they are asking Palmerston council to enforce more rigorous safety checks on storm drains.

Jason, who in a previous job with Gupuwiyak Council in East Arnhem Land checked drain safety, said Richard and friends should have never had such easy access.
He wants council to implement a checklist-style approach to ensure every drain is signed off "safe" before and after wet seasons.
The NT News asked Palmerston council when the drain at Contalonierie Park had been last checked and what policies were in place.
Spokeswoman Mandy Ward said council would not answer questions until police had finished their report for the coroner, a process that could take months.

First of all, thanks for all the information provided by the board, Chowhound is amazing.
My companion (R) and I spent a few days in New York last month, a visiting friend (V) joined us in some meals.
We went to Russ and Daughters Cafe and liked it there. He enjoyed his Bella's matzo brei and I had the new catch herring sandwich which was very good, and I had the Lower East Side cocktail, with gin, lime juice and cucumber that was very refreshing. I also went twice to Russ and Daughters, one day I had lox, alaskan salmon roe and cream cheese bagel and the other day lox, cream cheese and caviar, both excellent. Russ & Daughters is one of my favorite places in NY, miss it a lot.
Baz Bagel and Restaurant gave us a positive impression. He had the egg sandwich, I had the Nova salmon bagel and we shared a chicken salad that was excellent. Staff was very friendly, I would love going more times to taste other things.
The three of us went to Preserve 24 for the oyster happy hour, which is good (only blue point oysters, but for 1 dollar each, I can't complain!). They had beer and I had the happy hour cocktail made of gin, lavender syrup, lemon whch was ok, a little sweet. This time we couldn't make it to the Mermaid Inn, which has a very good happy hour (last january they had 2 east coast and 2 west coast oysters at the happy hour, plus other dishes).and the Ka
We went to Cata for some gin and tonics, as it was very hot that particular afternoon. We had been there last year and went back as their g&t selection is amazing. All the 3 types we had were good: I had the rhubarb one, R had the lemongrass and V had the lavender (I had it last time and for my taste this was the best). We shared the razor clams that were very good, patatas bravas were ok, chicken croquetas also ok and the foie gras was very good.
I had a lobster roll at Luke's (East Village location) that is always good, although I also love having Pear Oyster Bar one whch has more mayo, but didn't have time to go this time and R had the shrimp one that he likes as well. It's a good place to grab a snack and keep doing things or passing by late at night after cocktails nearby (as we did other times after drinking at Death and Company or Amor y Amargo).
We went to Momofuku Ssam Bar which is a favorite for us. We all had the Penicillin cocktail. We ordered the scallops tataki that was amazing, the uni dish with tofu and trout roe (the uni dishes that I had at Ssam are always delicious), buffalo pork buns that were good, softshell crab tempura with pimento cheese (last spring I had it there and kept thunking when I would have then again, though last year I think it was a slightly different preparation) and finally the spicy pork sausage that we all love. R and I went back at one night (I told you Ssam Bar is really a favorite),after having cocktails at Mayahuel and Pouring Ribbons, having againg the softshell crab, steamed pork buns and Katahdin/White Dorper lamb that was very good.
R and I had lunch at the NoMad, staying at the bar (we were doing some stuff nearby and we didn't have a reservation, but they had room at the bar which we kind of prefer by the way, we also like its decor a lot). R had the Bamboo cocktail (sherry, dry vermouth, orange and angostura bitters) which was excellent and I had the Paloma one (tequila, mezcal,lime), which was a long drink, that I'm not very fond of, I guess I should have asked more details about it before ordering. I had the foie gras terrine with Perigord truffle that was awesome, I could repeat it over and over, and R had the slow poached egg that he loved. For the mains, he had the suckling pig confit that he liked it a lot and I had the roasted beef and bone marrow that was also perfect. The Nomad is really awesome, it's a pity I don't have it nearby.
I still have some other places to tell, but I'll do it soon as I have work to do (and pounds to lose after the trip lol).
Best, @foodemotion

Annibale Santorre di Rossi de Pomarolo, Count of Santarosa
|This article does not cite any sources. (March 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Santorre Annibale De Rossi di Pomerolo, Count of Santa Rosa (born 18 November 1783, Savigliano – died 8 May 1825) was an Italian insurgent and leader in the revival (Risorgimento) of Italy.
He was born at Savigliano, near Cuneo and then part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the son of a general officer in the Sardinian (Piedmontese) army who was killed at the battle of Mondovì in 1796. The family had been recently ennobled and was not rich. Santarosa entered the service of Napoleon during the annexation of Piedmont to France, and was sub-prefect of La Spezia from 1812-14. He remained, however, loyal in sentiment to the house of Savoy, and, after the restoration of the king of Sardinia in 1814, he continued in the public service.[citation needed]
During the brief campaign of the Sardinian army on the southeastern frontier of France in 1815 he served as captain of grenadiers, and was afterwards employed in the ministry of war. The revolutionary and imperial epoch had seen a great development of Italian patriotism, and Santarosa was aggrieved by the great extension given to the Austrian power in Italy in 1815, which reduced his own country to a position of inferiority. The revolutionary outbreak of 1820, which extended from Spain to Naples, seemed to afford the patriots an opportunity to secure the independence of Italy.
When in 1821 the Austrian army was moved south to coerce the Neapolitans, Santarosa entered into a conspiracy to obtain the intervention of the Piedmontese in favor of the Neapolitans by an attack on the Austrian lines of communication. The conspirators endeavoured to obtain the co-operation of the prince of Carignano, afterwards King Charles Albert, who was known to share their patriotic aspirations.
On March 6, 1821 Santarosa and three associates had an interview with the prince, and on March 10 they carried out the military pronunciamiento which proclaimed the Spanish constitution. The movement had no real popular support, and very soon collapsed. During the brief predominance of his party Santarosa showed great decision of character. He was arrested and would have died on the scaffold had supporters not rescued him. He fled to France, and lived for a time in Paris under the name of Conti, where he wrote in French and published, in 1822, La Revolution Piemontaise, which attracted the notice of Victor Cousin. The French government discovered his hiding-place, and he was imprisoned and expelled from Paris. After a short stay first at Alençon and then in Bourges, he passed over to England, where he found refuge in London with the poet Ugo Foscolo, and made a few English friends.[citation needed]
He went to Nottingham in hopes of being able to support himself by teaching French and Italian. The miseries of exile rather than any hope of advantage led him to accompany his countryman Giacinto Collegno to Greece in November 1824. The Italians were ill-treated by the Greeks and were not well looked on by the Philhellene committees, who thought that their presence would offend the powers. Santarosa was killed, apparently because he was too miserable and desperate to care to save his life, when the Turkish troops attacked the island of Sphacteria, near Navarino, on 8 May 1825.

Failed GOP presidential candidate and Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann Thursday introduced the first bill into the new, 113th Congress, and it wasn't the Violence Against Women Act, it wasn't a bill to fund relief for victims ofHurricane Sandy.

Remarks of Dave D. Lauriski, Assistant Secretary of Labor
for Mine Safety and Health before the 22nd Annual
Georgia Mining Association & Georgia Crushed Stone
Association Safety Workshops
Tuesday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 1, 2002 -- Macon, Ga.
Good morning. I'd like to thank Lee Lemke and Jerry Gossett for the invitation to speak with you this morning.
It's my pleasure to take part in your 22nd Annual Safety Workshop. It's particularly good to be in the company of people who are committed to miner health and safety.
Organizations like the Georgia Mining Association and the Georgia Crushed Stone Association are of vital importance to our mission. Groups like yours play a key role in improving and enhancing the safety of mine workers throughout the nation.
I've been directing MSHA now for just about one year. I came to this position from a career in the mining industryas a safety and health professional and as a manager. It's a great privilege to serve in this post under President George W. Bush.
It's also a pleasure to work with Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, who has been extremely supportive of our activities for improving miner safety and health.
Setting the Course
Like all Federal agencies we are working under the umbrella of the President's long-term management agenda for improving the overall management and performance of the Federal government.
In the broadest terms, the President has called for all Federal agencies to become:
- Citizen centered, not bureaucracy-centered;
'results oriented; and
Market-based, promoting innovation through competition.
- 'strategic management of human capital;
The integration of budget and performance;
Competitive sourcing;
Expanded e-government;
And improved financial management.
In this context we have set specific goals in mine safety and health:
- 'reduce mining industry fatalities by 15 percent per year;
'reduce lost-workday injuries by 50 percent over four years;
'reduce coal mine dust and silica samples that indicate overexposure by 5 percent per year;
And reduce noise samples that indicate overexposure by the same amount.
At the same time, we are working to create a cultural change in MSHA and in the mining industry that, I believe, will be critical to take our safety and health performance to the next level.
MSHA Vision
As you well know, the U.S. mining industry has made outstanding safety and health progress over the decades.
Last year, the toll of mining deaths in this country was the lowest ever recorded.
And here in Georgia, the non-fatal days-lost injury rate for mine workers has been well below the national average over the last several years. That is something of which you can be truly proud.
Despite that, some of us have observed that injuries and fatalities nationwide have plateaued in recent years. No longer are we seeing the consistent progress of earlier decades. And we have experienced some troubling setbacks.
This year, for instance, fatal accidents in mines are up, compared with the same time last year: As of today, 25 mining fatalities have occurred nationwide, compared with 19 on this date a year ago.
MSHA accomplished a great deal in the past, as an agency centered primarily on enforcement. At the same time, I believe we will stay "flat-lined" as long as enforcement remains the centerpiece around which all other activities revolve.
To get to the next level, we need to enlist the partnership of everyone in the mining industryorganizations like yours, in particular. And that means a change in our culture.
Let me be clear. What we need to provide the mining industry is not less enforcement, but a healthy balance between enforcement, education and training, technical support, and compliance assistance.
I have discussed this philosophy with people from all sectors of the mining community who are concerned with safety and health, and I have discussed it extensively with people in MSHA, from individual enforcement personnel to top management, and there is general consensus on that principle.
When I was in industry, we used to talk about the "business triangle of success." The three sides of the triangle were production, cost, andat the base of the triangle'safety and health.
Now in MSHA we also talk about three elements: enforcement, education and training, and technical support: each of which includes the key elementcompliance assistance.
Together, they form our "MSHA triangle of success."
At the same time, we are working in accordance with the President's management agenda to:
- Bring greater accountability to the agency at all levels:
°Flatten the management structure and strengthen the field structure;
Add e-government services;
Improve our fiscal management; and
Develop our human capital through training employees in a balanced approach to safety and health.
Stakeholder Meetings
In line with the President's goal to make the government more citizen-centered, last year we held dozens of stakeholder meetings.
These included general meetings in all of our 17 districts across the country and special meetings to focus on education and training issues and on information technology. We did this because we really wanted to hear from the people we serve in all sectors of the mining community. Some of you participated and I want to thank you for getting involved.
It would have been a mistake to assume we knew what the mining community had to say. We needed to listen before we could act. And we had a tremendous response from all sectors'management, miners, industry and labor groups, and safety professionals.
I also held similar meetings with MSHA employees throughout the country.
We explained to each group of stakeholders the situation we were facing the need to get to the next level in mine safety and health and asked for their advice.
Next, we reviewed and analyzed what was said at all these meetings. As you can imagine, the ideas we heard were wide-ranging and various. At the same time, we heard common and significant themes.
1. First of all, we heard about enforcement. We all recognize that enforcement is necessary and is part of the law. At the same time, our stakeholders told us that to get to the next level in safety and health, we need to direct our enforcement resources where they are needed most. Again, that is not less enforcement, but focused enforcement. We also heard of inconsistences that have caused problems for some.
2. The desire for more compliance assistance was probably the single most frequently heard comment. That includes assistance in understanding what the rules require, assistance in training miners, and assistance with safety and health technology. This does not mean less enforcement it is an adjunct to enforcement.
3. There was a critical need expressed for improved education and training. That includes new and updated training materials that speak to the needs of today's miners, including materials in Spanish.
4. We heard our stakeholders say they wanted better access to information, especially online. They want to be able to better identify trends at their own operations and in the industry, they want to compare their record with others', and they want us to do more in using data to better identify problems and solutions.
5. We heard a great deal about the special needs of small mines. Small operators, as you know, without the resources of larger operations, are most in need of help when it comes to establishing a sound safety and health process, training their miners, and identifying new technology that may help them achieve safe production.
6. Finally, we heard that when it comes to regulatory activity, we need to listen closely to our stakeholders. Not all fixes for problems need to be regulatory, and when we do enter into rulemaking, we need to encourage the widest participation.
Initiatives and Prerogatives
As a result of these insights, we have developed a series of action items that we call "Initiatives and Prerogatives." In the past couple of months or so, we have shared these with our stakeholders. These initiatives and prerogatives address the President's management objectives, the Secretary's goals, our own management goals.
A complete description would take more time than you have this morning -- but I would like to share the highlights with you and mention some specific examples.
Enforcement. We are evaluating several aspects of MSHA's enforcement process to determine how we can achieve more effective, focused, and consistent enforcement.
Compliance assistance. We are developing innovative methods of compliance assistance, and we are making compliance assistance an integral part of every mine visit and every activity.
We have started providing new types of training to our health, safety and compliance specialists, designed to enhance their professionalism and their ability to do more than just write violations. We are teaching them how to analyze a mine's record before they make a visit, how to identify root causes of problems, understanding the human factor, and how to communicate most effectively with both management and miners. We are working to make all of our employees well-rounded health and safety professionals.
Earlier this year we responded to the upturn in fatal accidents with a special effort titled, "Focus on Safe Work." Our full range of specialists, trainers, and technical support personnel went to more than 10,000 operations and talked directly with more than 150,000 miners about recent accidents. We also mailed out informational packets and put specific accident solutions on our web site.
We're continuing to hold stakeholder meetings to gather information on ideas for best practices. For instance, we are revising our guide on equipment guarding. Guarding is among the standards that most frequently cause confusion.
Education and training. We are developing new training materials, revising those that are outdated, and undertaking a complete review of our materials and publications to make sure we meet current needs.
For instance, we are systematically updating all our training films, transferring them to DVD, and developing new programs directly on DVD. We have just released the first of these, on haul roads and dump site berms.
Some of our training materials already have been translated into Spanish, and we are soon going to have MSHA's web site available in Spanish. The process has been started to translate all of our training materials.
We worked with one mine operator to develop a comprehensive training program in health and safety for all of the company's supervisors. This included classroom and hands-on training at the National Mine Health and Safety Academy, and follow-up in the mines. This approach has potential to benefit other operations, and we are now starting to work with a second company in a similar way.
Small mines. In all of our activities we are giving special attention to the needs of small mines.
We are developing a "small mine starter kit" to provide everything a small mine operator needs to know about MSHA. This is intended to meet the need of small operators who can feel overwhelmed in trying to sort out what they need from all the available information.
And we are going to open a small mine safety office that would be devoted to assisting the operators.
Use of data. We are working to make data more easily available to individual companies on their own operations.
In response to requests, we have placed data prominently on our web site concerning the most frequently cited violations in each sector of the mining industry. We're now developing tips to go with them on how to prevent these violations.
We're also looking at ways to better identify mines with outstanding safety and health processes that can serve as models for the industry.
Regulatory Issues
Regulatory issues were another major topic at stakeholder meetings and, I am sure, are of concern to you as well.
Last year, we shortened our list of rulemaking projects on our semi-annual regulatory agenda. We did this because many items had been on the list for years, without progress. We are including fewer regulatory items, and we intend to give them our concentrated attention.
If we take action on a rulemaking, it will represent a real need. There has to be a real problem, and rulemaking has to be the most appropriate solution. Full-scale rulemaking is a lengthy, complex process that demands significant resources. We will certainly pursue rulemaking when justified, but it will not be our automatic first resort.
At the same time, when we do undertake rulemaking, we will always ask for and thoughtfully consider input from our stakeholders in order to develop the most effective and workable rules for protecting miners' safety and health.
So far as possible we also should work towards general agreement, towards rulemaking that all parties can accept as necessary and practical.
Finally, every rulemaking project needs to have compliance assistance as an integral part of the process.
We are engaged in an extensive, long-term effort to review existing regulations and policies in line with the President's goals. Our aim is to identify provisions that are outdated, redundant, unnecessary or otherwise require change.
Engaging Commitment
As I said earlier, organizations like yours will play a key role in enhancing miner health and safety. At this time I would like to engage your organization as a long-term partner in the effort to get to the next level in mine safety and health.
I want to thank those of you who exemplify health and safety excellence. You are showing the way to others. Those mines that do well in safety always have one thing in common: they make safety a value. This is a priceless quality.
It is one thing to have information about how to keep safe and healthy. And we are working very hard to make that information available throughout the mining industry. But information is not enough. There has to be a habit of doing the safe thing, a habit so ingrained that safety has become a value.
Those of us who have had young children can identify with this attitude. When you have a small child or grandchild you don't think twice about the safety seat, the child-proof bottle cap, or the stairway gate. You just use it, no question.
That's the attitude we need to see expressed every day, at every mine site, on every shift, by every person.
That is the human element we need, and it goes far beyond just information about how to do it right.
It is also a human factor that needs to come from the top from those of you who are leaders of your companies. If you are giving this leadership, from the top down, setting specific safety and health goals and monitoring performance, making it clear that safety and health are part of the triangle of success, then you know that it gets results.
You also know that safety and health have a side-effect a smooth, accident free work process enhances efficiency, productivity, and ultimately profits.
If safety as a value represents a change for the organization, then you know that it also causes resistance. Resistance to change is normal, human and universal but at the same time, persistence gets results.
As I mentioned, we have some concerns that injuries and fatalities in recent years have reached a plateau and, in fact, creeping upwards. But I am by no means discouraged. The elements to get to the next level in safety and health are right in this room. I thank you for your efforts in the past. And, I frankly ask you to continue and even do more.
I want to enlist your help in demonstrating safety and health as a value throughout each of your companies and in the industry as a whole. I hope you will tell others about your successes and share your methods. And I hope you will tell us at MSHA as well. We want to learn from you. I want to ask that all of you become examples and a touchstones for others in showing what it takes, and what is gained, by making safety a value every hour of every day.
With success we can look forward to lives saved, injuries prevented, a healthier workforce and healthier mining industry. Success in bringing about this change will require everyone's commitment and most importantly, our performance.
I look forward to working with you. Thank you for your time.

Words alone cannot fulfill our deep moral obligation to support our American veterans. It's an obligation I feel every time I speak to the men and women who have served and the families of those deployed overseas. It's an obligation I will always meet.
Improving Care for Veterans
I fully support efforts to properly fund every aspect our veterans' health care system. We must ensure that our veterans -- those recently home from Iraq and Afghanistan, those who served in wars past, and those who secured the peace -- get the timely care and benefits they have earned.
During my first 100 days in Congress, I joined several of my colleagues and sent a letter to President Obama. We urged the Administration not to move forward with a proposal that would have required veterans to use private insurance to pay for the treatment of service-related injuries. It was unacceptable for the Veterans Administration (VA) to ask our veterans to pay for the treatment of injuries received while serving our nation in uniform. After receiving our letter, White House officials announced that they would not pursue the policy.
Since then, I have supported legislation to improve the care that our veterans receive from the VA. New laws have allowed the VA to hire more doctors and nurses and to establish new clinics and health service centers for veterans across the country. We now provide post-traumatic stress and mental health screening to every returning soldier. And we've vastly expanded VA health care services for our 1.8 million women veterans.
Improving Mental Health Care
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have taken an extraordinary toll on the mental health of our combat veterans. In particular, the incidence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the rate of suicide among our nation's veterans warrant our full attention and every resource we can muster to make sure our veterans and their families are not suffering in silence.
I have worked on legislation designed to address the mental health needs of veterans, including the Veterans Mental Health Screening and Assessment Act and the Sergeant Coleman S. Bean Reserve Component Suicide Prevention Act. These make sure service members participate in confidential screenings with licensed mental health professionals to reduce the growing rate of suicide while fighting the debilitating stigma of PTSD.
Jobs for Vets
To help veterans access training and place them directly in the work force I helped pass the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvement Act in my first term. I also voted for bonus payments to disabled veterans and funding to renovate, repair and upgrade VA hospitals nationwide through the Recovery Act.
To provide veterans with quality job training, credentialing and job placement, I helped pass the Veterans Opportunity to Work Act. This bipartisan effort, which was signed into law by the President, also provides tax breaks for businesses that hire veterans. As it was making its way through the House, I also co-sponsored a separate bill that contained additional incentives for small businesses to hire veterans. And I helped secure an additional grant for a Bridgeport-based initiative to help homeless Connecticut veterans find stable housing and enter the workforce.
Unemployment among American veterans is too high and I will continue to support targeted initiatives to help vets enter the private job market and utilize the skills they developed in the service of our nation.
Preserving History
The Library of Congress has undertaken the Veterans History Project, an effort to collect the first-hand accounts of American veterans and preserve them for future generations. I have had the privilege of interviewing many Connecticut veterans, including those who serrved in World War II and the Vietnam War, and helping them submit their personal histories to this invaluable national project.
