The annual fashion show sponsored by the Pakistan Student Association at the University of Houston is a showcase of modesty. This year, to the sound of Pakistani music, female students wore traditional neck-high gowns and took care not to touch hands with the male escorts beside them.
But the show was not modest enough for a small group of young men from the more conservative Muslim Students Association who quietly protested outside. ''Itaqallah,'' they told the arriving guests, meaning, ''Fear God,'' one of the men said. The young men said Islamic law forbade music and demanded that women cover their hair.
Here at the University of Houston, which has one of the most diverse student populations in the nation, the small incident is a reminder of the differences among Muslim students. Some accept secular norms, but others take a fundamentalist view that regards alcohol, the mingling of the sexes and other commonplaces of college life as sinful. On this modern campus of 33,000 students, the 2,400 Muslims represent the Islamic world in miniature, with foreign students as well as Americans who trace their heritage to South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
One thing they all agreed on was condemnation of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But as the holy month of Ramadan concludes this weekend, that diversity inevitably brings friction over the question of what makes a good Muslim and what does not. The Muslim Students Association here is one of the nation's most conservative, following the strict Wahabi interpretation of Islam from Saudi Arabia. Yet there is also a fraternity in which Muslims have joined with Hindus and Christians.
One recent evening, when the Pakistan Student Association and the Muslim Students Association held a joint iftar, the sundown meal that breaks the daily fast of Ramadan, about 80 male students streamed into the meeting hall, scooping up handfuls of dates, while about 20 women slipped in without speaking and walked to an area separated from the men by long tables. There, they prayed and later ate in plain sight but also in seclusion.Continue reading the main story
A few of the women were not covering their hair with scarves. ''The one who doesn't have a head cover on, she's in sin,'' said one member of the Muslim Students Association, Abdul Aziz Hernandez Al Moslim. ''She's living in sin.''
But, he quickly added, ''It's not our job to force her to cover.''
Nationally, the Muslim Students Association has chapters at most major universities, and each has its own view of how to be a Muslim in a non-Muslim country. Unlike the University of Houston chapter some chapters are relatively integrated by sex and even have female presidents.
''One group may say, 'What have you done? You appointed a woman to lead you,' '' Altaf Husein, president of the association's national board, said of the diversity among local chapters. ''The other may say, 'What have you done? You've hidden away women.' ''
The women in the Muslim association at the University of Houston have a separate president and often organize separate events. But they defer to the president of the Muslim Students Association, Mudassar Khan, a graduate student in chemical engineering who came to Houston from the United Arab Emirates seven years ago with his family and will soon become a United States citizen. A polite, soft-spoken man, Mr. Khan takes pride in his group's strict reading of Islam.
On the evening of the Ramadan feast with the Pakistani students, when a reporter announced that he would interview the women in the group, Mr. Khan and other men said that would be inappropriate and might offend the women. Another member, Irtiza Hasan, said the reporter must first ask permission of a woman's brother before speaking to her. There is no dating, no drinking and no socializing.
''If it's really unnecessary, I don't talk to the other women in the sister's group,'' Mr. Khan said. ''And this is actually out of respect.''
Asked for an interview via e-mail, the president of the Muslim Students Association's female group declined. But other female Muslim students expressed ambivalence about the strict stance of the association.
''I find it difficult to be in a setting like that,'' said Lubna Fazal, 22, a past president of the Pakistani group who is also a member of the Muslim association. ''But I guess I can understand where they are coming from. In many countries around the world, there is segregation between the men and women.''
Shirmeen Moton, a junior who does not wear a head scarf on campus except when she attends prayers, helped organize the fashion show, ''I listen to music, I don't cover my hair, I hang out with my guy friends,'' Ms. Moton said. ''But I know my limits.''
She does not criticize the Muslim association's rules, even if she doesn't always follow them. She calls its members ''the model of all Muslims on campus.''
Other Muslim students are less comfortable with such strict views. Safeer Hassan, 22, is president of Delta Epsilon Phi, a fraternity founded in 1998 by South Asian students, including Muslims, Hindus and Christians. Mr. Hassan, who was born in Dubai, said his fraternity had often sought to hold mixers with the Muslim association, whose members he calls ''good guys,'' but ''they wouldn't do it because it would be like a social event.''
''I have my religious values, but also other values instilled in me by my friends and the diversity I've grown up in,'' he said.
Adil Ahmed, the president of the Pakistan Student Association, said a male friend was recently walking across campus with a woman who was not wearing a scarf. A Muslim association member called the woman's sister to complain.
''I was not brought up conservative like they are,'' Mr. Ahmed said. ''I read the Koran, and I do pray five times a day, sometimes. I don't keep a beard, but I fast. I can't say which side is correct.''Continue reading the main story

Solvent welding
Since a spudgun is operated at elevated pressures it is absolutely critical that all joints are properly glued. A proper glue joint not only prevents leaks but also insures the gun can be fired safely. It is highly recommended that you thoroughly read and understand the directions provided with the glue. See the External Links section for two excellent pages describing, in detail, the proper solvent welding technique.
For solvent welding of PVC pipe there are three products, two of which are absolutely required for a proper weld.
- PVC Cleaner is designed to remove oil, dirt, etc. from the PVC prior to gluing. It's use is usually considered to be optional. It is important though that the pieces being joined are clean and dry.
- PVC Primer (or primer / cleaner) cleans the pipe and softens the surface so the glue will take better. The use of primer is absolutely required for any joint that will hold pressure or carry a load.
- PVC Glue is a mixture of solvents and dissolved PVC and creates the actual bond between the two parts. Obviously, the glue is required.
For more information about these three see the PVC Reagent comparison page.
For solvent welding of ABS usually only ABS glue is used and the cleaning/priming step is omitted.
PVC glue (and primer) should not be used on ABS and vice versa.
Health and Safety
Solvent vapors are flammable and hazardous to your health, work should be done in a well ventilated area and away form ignition sources. The chamber of combustion and hybrid cannons should be vented before testing the ignition since the glue vapors can be ignited. Accidents have happened when solvent vapors have ignited in newly constructed guns.

Why We Can't Wait For All These Fashion Week Shows to End
All fashion designers have a signature aesthetic: Carolina Herrera does ladylike, Alexander Wang presents what's sure to be the cool-girl uniform in the coming season, and Ralph Lauren's been doing classic American for 40 years running. But after the models have done their work on the runway, it's time for the designers to take center stage. And, just as they have signature looks, they also have signature stances. See the bows, waves, curtsies, and struts that guarantee their curtain calls will be the real showstoppers of their Spring 2015 collections.

Aon chief executive Gregory Case is trying to transform the London-based insurer into a preeminent professional services firm by focusing on providing risk and people solutions.
By Michael Peltz
Its not easy to talk insurance with
Gregory Case. Although as CEO of London-based Aon he oversees
one of the worlds largest insurance brokerages and
reinsurers, the 50-year-old prefers to discuss risk
and client solutions, reflecting in part the 17
years he spent as an executive at management consulting firm
McKinsey & Co. in Chicago. Since joining Aon in 2005, Case
has quarterbacked the transformation of the insurer into what
he calls a professional services firm, selling off its
underwriting businesses and making two big acquisitions, paying
$1.4 billion for reinsurer Benfield Group in 2008 and
$4.9 billion for human resources specialist Hewitt
Associates two years later.
Under Case, who has an undergraduate degree in finance from
Kansas State University and an MBA from Harvard Business
School, Aon has seen its earnings per share more than
double, from $1.69 in 2006 to $4.21 last year. Shares of the
company have nearly tripled in value during his tenure, rising
from roughly $22 when he started to a recent price of $62.
Institutional Investor Editor Michael Peltz met with
Case at Aons New York offices in March to talk about his
plans for continuing to grow his companys business in an
increasingly complex and risky world, including the decision to
move Aons headquarters last year from Chicago to
Institutional Investor: What
attracted you to Aon?
Case: I had watched the financial services
industry for quite some time from where I was at McKinsey and
had watched Aon because it was a Chicago company. I really saw
an opportunity that I thought was extraordinary. You had a firm
with incredible global infrastructure literally a
physical infrastructure in 120 countries capable of
serving clients. The idea was, lets build the preeminent
professional services firm in the world, focused on risk,
helping clients understand risk, measure risk, mitigate risk
by the way, youll notice I havent said the
word insurance yet and focused on helping
them with their most important people issues around pensions,
retirement, health and benefits.
So you set out to transform Aon into more than an
insurance company?
Right. We had a conversation around the idea that this has
to be about continuing to evolve the firm in a way that we
truly are going to do something that is unique and sustainable
on these two platform areas called risk and people. At the
time, a third of Aon was still an underwriting company. We took
the decision to completely restructure the company. We sold off
all of our underwriting companies, and we focused on risk and
people. And we went from the underwriting business, which was
big-balance-sheet and heavily regulated, to what are now people
businesses that dont have big balance sheets.
How has Aons revenue mix changed?
We sold off roughly $3 billion worth of assets.
Youll see from a revenue standpoint a third of our
revenue was underwriting, a large chunk after that was risk,
and after that was consulting, which was the people part of the
business. When you look at it today, its roughly 60-40:
60 percent risk, 40 percent people. And theres no
How far along was the transformation when the
financial crisis hit?
We had announced at the time the largest acquisition in
Aons history, which was Benfield. That was in August
2008, right before the crisis hit. But we had already sold off
combined insurance, and wed sold off warranties.
Wed actually done some of the selling off to create the
restructuring, and then we brought in Benfield right before the
crisis. So we had to go through the crisis with everybody else,
integrate and bring Benfield into the family and bolster what
was our reinsurance platform.
How important is reinsurance to Aon?
Its very important. The risk solutions segment is
about 60 percent of our business. If you think about what we do
in the risk business, we work with commercial companies
large, middle-size and small. We take all comers. And the
beauty of it is that the companies are in 120 countries and
come in every form and flavor. So its truly a global
focus. And that group of companies oftentimes requires
insurance solutions, and we help coordinate those. Thats
what our retail group does. Its called Aon Risk
And then we also work with the insurers on how they think
about their risk mitigation, and thats what Aon Benfield
does. Thats the reinsurance business. Its the
largest reinsurance risk adviser in the world, and its
probably 50 percent bigger than its next biggest competitor.
Its been a true tour de force in investment for us around
content and analytics.
Can you tell us about the analytics?
We are on an absolute mission to give people data, content
and analytics and help them make better decisions. Aon Benfield
has about 3,000 employees; 500 of those are kind of Ph.D.
statisticians who essentially model global risk on behalf of
insurers. As one of my colleagues, [Aon Benfield co-CEO] Mike
Bungert, would say, if the earth moves or the wind blows on a
global basis, we can tell you the impact by company at a zip
code level. So if Hurricane Sandy is coming to hit the coast of
New York, our guys are modeling, literally block by block, what
the impacts going to be and talking to our clients about
it and talking to the insurers about it.
Whats your take on global warming, and how has
Sandy and the other unusual weather activity of the past few
years impacted your business?
I cant speak to global warming, but what I can tell
you is that the magnitude, complexity and scrutiny of risk are
going up. In our view theres more risk out there facing
clients than ever before. Just think about the impact of
urbanization around the globe. In 20 years two thirds of the
planet is going to be urbanized. Urbanization is going to have
a tremendously powerful influence on the classic risks:
property coverage, casualty all the different
But beyond the basic risks, theres also global warming
sustainability, to your point the impact of
cyberrisk, pandemic, identity theft; literally the level of
risk in the world is going up dramatically. And if that
isnt enough, its also becoming more
Take Thailand. The Thai floods [in 2011] were a tragic
event. But they were also a global supply-chain event. Because
so much was being manufactured there, the floods were impacting
our client P&Ls all around the world. Now everybody cares
about this stuff. CEOs, boards of directors, CFOs all care
about this. If we can help a client strengthen its operating
performance, improve its balance sheet or reduce volatility
through taking actions around risk, risk assessment, risk
understanding, thats powerful. Again, I havent said
the word insurance yet.
Where does insurance fit into this?
Insurance is one solution. So what that means literally is,
if you think about helping a client understand, measure and
mitigate risk, there are specific periods of time in
fact, a lot of what we do is, we say to a client, Listen,
we can actually use somebody elses balance sheet to help
you take the volatility away from your earnings, and
thats called insurance. And were very fortunate; we
place more premium than anyone in the world. On the retail side
its about $80 billion; its about
$25 billion or $30 billion on the reinsurance side.
We place over $100 billion of premium per year, and
were about 23 percent of all of Lloyds of London.
Were the largest provider into Lloyds.
Was that part of the reason you moved Aons
headquarters to London?
As we thought about leading a global firm and where we
wanted to do it and the places we wanted to look at, London was
a very logical place. It does create more connectivity to our
global opportunities around the world, in Asia and Europe, in
some respects even in Latin America. Lloyds is obviously
a very big part of the London marketplace, and as I said
before, we are the single largest provider into Lloyds.
For us the opportunity to be in London sent a message of being
more global and was powerful from a strategic standpoint. The
other aspect is capital management. Operating as a London PLC
gives us the ability to manage our capital in a much more fluid
way around the world.
How so?
Just by having one global pool of capital. You can actually
move it between countries and you dont have penalties or
taxes and things like that. So, ironically, we can invest more
back into the U.S. and have invested more back into the
U.S. since our move to London.
Lets discuss the people side of the
At the time we bought Benfield, we had a consulting business
that was successful, but it wasnt as strong as it could
be. We took the decision that we really wanted to have a global
platform that was compelling and we could truly do things on
behalf of clients both from an advice standpoint and an
execution standpoint. Hewitt was the perfect fit for that. In
2010 we made the same kind of investment in Aon Hewitt that we
had made with the risk part of the business.
Are there similarities between the two
I often get asked, How do risk and people fit
together? I would ask you, just pick a major company in
the U.S. that has a huge underfunded pension. Is that a people
issue, or is that a risk issue? And the answer is, yes,
its an HR problem, and its a CFO problem.
The second major area is health care. If you think about the
one area on a clients P&L in the U.S. that went up 10
to 15 percent every year during the recession, its that
little line item called health and benefits. This is an area of
the P&L thats going to continue to get worse, in
fact. And if there are ways we can actually help flatten the
curve of increase, it would be hugely powerful.
How are you trying to do that?
One is something we call health care exchanges. We launched
the first corporate health care exchange last year. What
youre really doing is giving your employees a fixed
amount and saying to them, Weve created a platform
for you to secure your health care coverage with a
lot of structure, by the way. Its a lot of information, a
lot of comparative approaches, so they literally can go on the
exchange and buy their health care coverage.
What are the benefits?
What that does for a CFO is, you now actually know the
amount of increase youre going to have every year. So
youve literally controlled your volatility in terms of
what youre doing. Thats incredibly powerful. The
great thing is, when weve actually started to do this,
employees are making choices that better fit with their
lifestyles. This is actually a really important thing, and a
lot of times younger families buy too much health care
coverage, and a lot of times older families buy too little
health care coverage. When you think about making that choice,
if youre a younger family and youre buying the
right health care coverage and youre investing the
difference in your retirement, youre actually addressing
two issues. That can be powerful over time.

Russian socialite Miroslava Duma often finds herself front row at many an exclusive fashion show. But she is now finding herself amid a firestorm of controversy, after publishing highly-offensive photos on her website, Buro 24/7.
Published yesterday, Jan. 20, in accompaniment to an interview with Garage editor-in-chief Dasha Zhukova, the photo spread feature Zhukova sitting in a chair sculpted in the likeness of a Black woman lying on her back, legs up in a provocative pose. The Black-woman-as-chair sculpture has legs that serve as a backrest for Zhukova, who strikes a serious pose.
The chair was controversial after 1960s pop artist Allen Jones created it. However, Duma scandalously selected the chair for the main photo of the interview, which was written completely in Russian. The photo was shared to Buro 24/7's Facebook page, as well as on Duma's personal Instagram, but has since been removed.
Sad that on Martin Luther King Day, which celebrates an international hero and equality activist, such foolishness could commence! Duma nor her reps have issued an apology.

SINGAPORE — Roketsan is bringing a growing variety of weapons on the world market, many developed by the TÜBİTAK Defense Industries Research and Development Institute outside Ankara, Turkey, or developed with partner companies, including Aselsan. Ranging from anti-tank weapons to laser-guided bomb kits to larger cruise and surface-to-air missiles, the company has been expanding its reach, exhibiting in the Middle East and, for the first time, here at the Singapore Air Show.
"There is a huge market here in Southeast Asia," said Alin Yalçı, chief engineer of the weapon systems integration unit in Roketsan's tactical missile systems group. "We aim to export our products to more countries."
Based in Ankara and established in 1988, Roketsan has over 2,000 employees, Yalçı said.
Perhaps the most impressive weapon on display was the SOM air-breathing cruise missile recently introduced into service with Turkish Air Force F-16 Block 40 and F-4E fighter jets. The weapon, Turkey's first long-range standoff cruise missile, has been in development since 2006, according to Yalçi.
Also shown here was a mockup of the SOM-J version under development with Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Designed to fit inside the aircraft's weapons bay, the SOM-J has a revised wing configuration and is longer and slimmer than the original model.
SOMs are designed to fly low-altitude attack profiles. The weapon, Yalçı said, has a 500 kilogram warhead — "a huge warhead for huge targets."
Roketsan is moving forward with a wide variety of projects, and about two-thirds of the weapons on display are not yet operational, Yalçı said, although he added that all were expected to be fielded by 2018.
The Hisar air defense missile was also shown here. Stored and launched from a vertical canister or carried on an armored chassis, the weapon is Turkey's first locally developed air defense weapon. Two versions, the Hisar-A low altitude and Hisar-O medium-altitude weapon, are under development, Yalçı said, with the Hisar-A targeted for a 2017 service entry. Roketsan is subprimed to Aselsan on the Hisar program.
Another project entering the development phase is the Teber laser guidance kit that converts standard Mark 81 and Mark 82 bombs into precision smart weapons. Similar to Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits made by Boeing ,the Teber features strap-on tail assemblies and noses fitted with inertial navigation system, GPS, and laser sensors and seekers.
Other new weapons displayed by Roketsan included the OMTAS medium-range anti-tank missile system fitted, according to Yalçı, "with the most effective warhead in its class." The 160mm-diameter weapon has a minimum range of 200 meters and a maximum range of 4,000 meters.

Two people were arrested Friday after they were connected to the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in May, police said.
Ashley Marie Antone and Emannuel Rivera, both 20, are facing second-degree murder charges in the death of Kaitlin Chico, a Tucson Police Department news release said.
Police officers found Chico, of Sacaton, in an alley May 29 in the 5400 block of East Ninth Street, near East Broadway and Craycroft Road.
On that day, Tucson police received reports of a blue 2011 Ford Focus driving erratically near East 22nd Street and Alvernon Way and with three people in the car fighting.
Police saw the car leave a neighborhood near Broadway and Craycroft and stopped it in a parking lot near the intersection.
According to police, Antone and a 20-year-old man, identified as Rivera, ran from the car, but were later found.
Antone was arrested at the time, but the Pima County Attorney's Office dismissed the case so authorities could investigate further.
Rivera was not arrested after the incident.
U.S. marshals found Antone in Pinal County and booked her into the Pinal County jail.
Rivera was arrested at a Tucson apartment complex and booked into Pima County jail.

Mystique envelops Notre Dame Stadium
Pitt middle linebacker Max Gruder vividly remembers running onto Notre Dame Stadium's field as a wide-eyed redshirt freshman two years ago.
"It was," he said, "kind of mind-boggling."
Notre Dame has dropped 23 of its past 41 games and owns one bowl victory since 1993. But the mystique of the Golden Dome and Touchdown Jesus remain as strong as ever.
Pitt (2-2), which hasn't lost at Notre Dame (2-3) since 2002, will make another trip to the hallowed stadium at 3:30 p.m. Saturday for a nationally televised game.
The 80,795-seat stadium is by far the biggest opposing venue Pitt will visit this year (Raymond James Stadium in Tampa for USF is a distant second at 65,857). Saturday's game will be the 216th consecutive sellout at the 80-year-old stadium, the second-longest active streak in the nation behind Nebraska.
"There is so much history to that stadium," Gruder said. "You can really feel it. It's really a great football atmosphere there."
Pitt has won its past two games at Notre Dame, both in dramatic fashion. In 2004, the Panthers prevailed, 41-38, (and quarterback Tyler Palko's infamous postgame expletive made the national telecast). In 2008, in arguably the most exciting game in the 101-year-old series, Pitt escaped with a four-overtime, 36-33 victory.
"They haven't been Notre Dame like when I grew up," said senior safety/linebacker Dom DeCicco, who started the 2008 game. "But just going there, once you see the Touchdown Jesus, it clicks. There are some extra butterflies. You get a little extra nerves walking on the field. But as soon as that first play and that first hit, you are playing football and that's all behind you."
Six current Panthers started in the 2008 game at Notre Dame — tackle Jason Pinkston, defensive end Jabaal Sheard, linebacker Greg Williams, cornerback Ricky Gary, DeCicco and backup quarterback Pat Bostick.
"It's an experience," said right guard Lucas Nix, who traveled for the '08 game as a freshman but didn't play. "Some of these young guys will really get to see a different atmosphere for a college football game."
Despite the program's recent downturn, Notre Dame consistently ranks among the top football stadiums in the nation. CBS Sports and ESPN ranked it No. 2, behind only Texas A&M and LSU, respectively. From the leprechaun to the narrow sidelines in the 19th-largest college stadium in the nation, the place is a memorable experience.
"It's definitely a fun place to play," DeCicco said. "It's probably the closest (stadium) where the crowd is to being right on top of you. As soon as you are on the sidelines, it feels like you are right against the wall to the crowd. It's definitely something you have to deal with."
Pitt's young players got a taste of a hostile crowd in the season opener at Utah, when 45,730 fans jammed into Rice-Eccles Stadium.
"I'm optimistic and hopeful that the Utah experience will pay dividends for us going up to South Bend," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. "It will not be the first time that we've been exposed to that."Additional Information:

Life on the Farm
By four o'clock in the morning, lights flicker through the windows of the Graham farmhouse. Sarah Graham calls to Dale, "Wake up, son, it's time to begin milking." Young Dale groans and turns over, but less than a half hour later his boots can be heard, tramp, tramp, on the stair. Frances, his slender, bright-haired, younger sister follows with a lighter tread. She has slipped on slacks and sweater, and puts on a fresh, white apron as she goes. Their flashlights illuminate the side grass plot and the red clay of the upward-sloping [road?]. [Out?] of the blackness emerges the stout figure of Ben, the hired helper. Doors and windows of the cattle stalls and of the bottling and refrigerating rooms show bright against the darkness. Cows stir and low sleepily as Ben washes their well-filled bags. There is the swish of milk in pails, the click and gurgle of bottles being filled. Down the hill, smoke rises from the kitchen flue, as the sky gradually brightens. The work of the day has well begun.
[Human Kindness]. Anne Winn Stevens, interviewer; Georgetown, North Carolina, 1939. American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940. Manuscript Division
"Some mornings I oversleep," Mrs. Graham admits. "Why, yesterday I didn't wake up until four-thirty in the morning." She had gone to bed at seven o'clock the evening before. While historically there has been a perception of farming as a male occupation, women and children have always played a large and important role in agricultural labor. If you search the historic newspapers in Chronicling America for women farming, or women farmers, you will find a number of features on women's contributions to farm life, both as part of a family unit, and as independent business women. To learn more about the diverse individuals farming in the U.S. today, see the resources compiled from the United States Department of Agriculture, including U.S. Statistics on Women and Minorities on Farms and in Rural Areas.
While cows still demand twice-daily milkings, many farmers use mechanized milking machines that attach to the cows' udders and, through a system of pipes, deposit the milk into an on-site storage vat. Rather than delivering cans or bottles door-to-door, farmers also sold their milk to wholesalers who pasteurized and packaged the milk before selling it to grocery stores and other venues. Farmers milking both a few head of cows or large herds of more than 100 cows continued to mechanize to ease the physical labor of farming.
Farming changed dramatically in the years after the Graham family described their life in 1939. Major food production in the United States moved from mainly family farms to large agribusness operations totally unknown during this period. However, the life stories of the American farm family and the cultural mileau are not forgotten in the shift toward mechanization. These recollections and memories offer a unique perspective on rural and small town life that formed the basis for American society; without the collecting efforts of the Federal Writers' Project, such information would have been lost.
Learn More
- The narratives housed in the American Life Histories: Manuscripts from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1940 and the Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938 collections describe all aspects of farming. From descriptions of working in the fields as a slave to memories of westward-moving wagon trains seeking homestead lands to mountain farming in Appalachia, these narratives are a record of America's rural past. "Human Kindness," included above, is one example of this rich storehouse of memories told by those who experienced farming firsthand. Search farming, farms, and farmers to discover the life of a farm family in the 1930s and 1940s.
- To find these and other farming images and stories, search the collections on dairy or dairying and other types of agriculture, such as tobacco or wheat. A search on dairy will find numerous resources on the subject, including sheet-music from the Music Division entitled The Dairy Maid's Song.
Images of Farm Life

17-Year-Old Melanie Oudin Rocks The U.S. Open
Rooting for underdogs is fun. Especially when they're 17, from Georgia, and count playing cards with grandma as one of their #1 favorite activities. Melanie Oudin started at the U.S. Open ranked 70th, a youngin' who was not expected to make it very far. She won her first match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova fairly easily. But in her second match, she found herself across the net from Elena Dementieva, ranked number four in the world. Melanie lost the first set and everyone thought she was toast. But then she somehow managed to come from behind for the win. Next, she took down tennis legend Maria Sharapova, and then Nadia Petrova, both in come-from-behind wins. Now Oudin is the youngest tennis player to make it to the Open's quarterfinals since Serena Williams in 1999.
So how is Oudin creaming players who are bigger than her and have, oh, 90 times her tournament-playing experience? "It's kind of hard to explain how I've done it," she told ESPN. "It's, like, now I know that I do belong here. I can compete with these girls, no matter who I'm playing. I have a chance against anyone."
Hopefully, becoming an overnight phenomenon won't have an effect on her play. Word has it that endorsement deals are already rolling in and that she can barely make it through her hotel lobby without being mobbed. Next up, Oudin will take on Caroline Wozniacki. And it will be a tough game— Wozniacki is ranked 9th in the tournament and leads the tour in the pure number of wins this year.
Goooooo, Melanie! [ESPN]

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Women of Faith, the nation's largest gathering of Christian women, is actively supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), one of the leading breast cancer awareness organizations in the world, by informing women of the importance of early detection and by encouraging those currently facing breast cancer.
With the tour under way and running through Nov. 1, Women of Faith asks ladies who plan to attend its events to deck out in pink. In addition, special pink Women of Faith products, such as Bibles, hats and shirts, will be sold during the tour stops. Twenty percent of the proceeds from the merchandise and $1 of every book sold will be donated to NBCF, and void in the following states: Alabama, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Mississippi and South Carolina.
"As an organization that hosts the largest Christian women's events in the nation, we feel it is absolutely essential to use our ability to reach these groups of women with information about the life-saving power of early detection," said Carol Nygren, executive vice president and managing director of Women of Faith. "Breast cancer is something that impacts all of us. Our goal at Women of Faith is to speak into the needs, the concerns and the pain women are facing today. Breast cancer is undeniably one of those issues."
Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of death among females; one-in-eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Each year an estimated 220,000-plus women in the United States are given the heart-breaking news that they have breast cancer.
Despite breast cancer's alarming statistics, the chances of survival are dramatically increased with early detection. Women of Faith and NBCF have come together to educate women and offer support to those fighting breast cancer.
Breast cancer survivor and Women of Faith speaker, Holly Wagner encourages women in their struggle.
"Some battles we choose, others choose us. The world is looking and waiting for a company of women who will rise in the midst of hard times. And you are just that girl," Wagner said.
NBCF was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail. Its mission is to save lives through early detection and education. NBCF offers women free online tools through their website http://beyondtheshock.com, where they can learn, ask and hear from others helpful ways to cope and heal. Additionally, by offering under-served women free mammograms in all 50 states, NBCF is giving women their best chance at life.
"With the help of Women of Faith's message of hope and renewal, we can inspire women in their fight against cancer and encourage them to take ownership of their health," said Janelle Hail, founder and CEO of NBCF.
The Women of Faith "Believe God Can Do Anything" fall tour will make a total of 24 stops in cities across the U.S. in 2013. The tour started August 2 in Oklahoma City, Okla., and will wrap-up in Louisville, Ky., on November 1. Each event runs a day and a half and includes a variety of speakers, such as Sheila Walsh, Christine Caine, Lisa Harper, Max Lucado and Priscilla Shirer. For a full list of 2013 "Believe God Can Do Anything" tour cities, please visit http://www.womenoffaith.com/events/.
Women of Faith hosts more women's events than any other organization in the U.S. Founded in 1996, its live events have taken place across the U.S. encouraging and inspiring women to draw nearer to God and a relationship with Jesus Christ. Women of Faith expects to welcome its 5 millionth attendee this year. For more information, visit http://www.womenoffaith.com.

text: 3.6% MSHA fund increase proposed By Ken Ward Jr. February 7, 2006 Story Share President Bush on Monday proposed a funding increase for the nation's mine safety agency, but critics said that the budget hike is nowhere near enough.Bush asked Congress to give the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration about $288 million in the 2007 financial year, an increase of 3.6 percent from the previous year.Under the proposal, MSHA's coal enforcement branch would be able to fill 5 of the 190 staff jobs that have been eliminated over the last five years."This budget does little more than offer the status quo," said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va.Over the last month, 16 coal miners have died in four separate accidents in West Virginia. Two miners have also died in Kentucky and one in Utah so far in 2006.In West Virginia, Gov. Joe Manchin has already pushed through landmark new mine rescue legislation. Other states are rushing to follow his lead.Byrd and other members of West Virginia's congressional delegation have proposed national legislation similar to Manchin's bill.On Monday, MSHA officials conducted special mine safety training at mines around the nation as part of a "Stand Down for Safety" project announced after the two additional mine deaths last week in Boone County.Don Conrad, an MSHA trainer from Johnstown, Pa., said that he is handing out educational materials and making sure miners know how to reach emergency mine exits and how to use emergency oxygen supplies. "The coal mining community is pretty small, and I don't think any of our mine operators want to see another explosion or even another fatality," Conrad said during a conference call with reporters. "They've really taken up the banner and have done above and beyond what the minimum regulations are."Conrad said that some miners he talked to did not know how little coal dust it takes to ignite a deadly explosion underground."I got a couple of wrong answers, and I think I told them some things that they didn't know," Conrad said. "Mistakes are made, and sometimes things happen, but I don't think any of our operators that I'm aware of don't want to have a safe mine."In press statements, MSHA has touted the 100 additional staffers that the agency dispatched to West Virginia after last week's accidents. But, only about 30 of those staffers are inspectors who are helping with a special inspection sweep ordered by Manchin, said Bob Friend, acting deputy chief of MSHA.Those 30 inspectors are expected to be in the state through the end of this week, Friend said. Currently, MSHA has about 113 inspectors assigned to its offices in West Virginia, agency officials have said.In his first four budget proposals, Bush called for cuts to MSHA's budget.Since Bush took office, the agency's coal enforcement budget has actually decreased by nearly $500,000 a year, according to congressional budget documents. During that same period, the agency's coal enforcement staff has dropped from 1,233 to 1,043, the documents show.In his budget proposal for the 2007 financial year, which starts Oct. 1, Bush asked Congress to provide MSHA with an additional $1 million for mine rescue activities.MSHA's budget document says that the money would be used for "mine rescue equipment such as breathing apparatuses, an integrated system to locate and communicate with trapped miners, and gas chromatographs."Byrd said that the money is not enough. "Four years of budget cuts [and] four years of coal enforcement staff cuts are left in place," Byrd said. "Instead of offering significant resources to help make coal mines safer for the men and women who provide the power for this country, the Bush White House offers a band-aid."On Monday afternoon, Byrd took to the Senate floor to action urge senators to quickly pass the mine safety legislation introduced last week by the West Virginia delegation."The longer we wait to approve this legislation, the more likely it is that additional miners will die," Byrd said.The Bush administration has not said whether it supports the delegation's legislation.To contact staff writer Ken Ward Jr., use e-mail or call 348-1702.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/5/2013 (1561 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A young man who killed a 17-year-old boy with a ceremonial knife during a fight three years ago will go to prison.
Justice Joan McKelvey said Tuesday she will sentence the 20-year-old man to a nine-year prison sentence.
The man had pleaded guilty to manslaughter for killing of Ronnie Jeffrey Kakegamick.
But the sentence isn't official until a report is completed, indicating where he will serve his time.
Until then, the killer cannot be named because he was a youth at the time of the attack.
It's not known when the placement report will be completed.
Crown prosecutor Dan Angus said Kakegamick died in the early hours of April 24, 2010, after he was repeatedly stabbed with a large ceremonial knife.
The killer has been in custody since his arrest.
McKelvey gave him credit for time served, which will be subtracted from the nine years, meaning he will have to serve another five years and three months in prison.
Angus said Kakegamick and the killer, who were the same age at the time, did not know each other but they had both spent the previous day and night drinking at separate house parties, across the street from each other on Flora Avenue.
Angus described the events that led up to the fatal confrontation as "an unfortunate convergence of events." A drunken Kakegamick and a cousin were searching the neighbourhood for his little brother when people driving a speeding stolen car tried to run them down. Kakegamick got into a confrontation with the car thieves and went into hiding near the house where the killer was still drinking.
The killer confronted Kakegamick, who threw stones at him. The killer drew out his large knife and began swinging it at Kakegamick, who tried to punch the killer but slipped and fell. While down, the killer stabbed him several times. Kakegamick got up but collapsed and died on the street.
The killer returned to the house party, where he calmly announced he had cut someone, cleaned the knife and placed it inside his waistband. He was arrested shortly afterwards based on information provided by Kakegamick's friends.
Angus said the killer was so drunk he had no memory of what he had done and expressed shock at the details.
McKelvey said a pre-sentence report found the killer had a turbulent upbringing on the Fairford First Nation. His mother was an alcoholic and his father left after stabbing his brother.
McKelvey said the killer was placed in a foster home in Winnipeg at the age of 13, where he found a loving and nurturing environment but added he could not overcome the struggles engrained from childhood.
"He did not have the appropriate role model and support in his formative years, which left him somewhat traumatized," McKelvey said of the killer.
McKelvey said correction officials found the killer to be easy-going and soft-spoken but noted probation services assessed him to be a high risk to reoffend as a result of his drinking problems and his upbringing.

Meet the New Addition to the 96X Crew
Well, howdy East Texas!! I'm Chris Cobb, and I am pumped, excited and stoked to be a part of the crew at 96X! I'll be with you each weekday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., and I am looking forward to rockin' with you.
Now even though I am new here at 96X, I am no stranger to East Texas. I was born and raised here. I lived in Dallas for a little while, but city life is a bit much for me, so I packed up and moved to Nacogdoches, (if you're looking to get away from the city, it doesn't get much smaller than Nacogdoches!). I went to school at Stephen F. Austin for broadcasting and then got a job working for a radio station in Lufkin, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I LOVE music!! All kinds of music really, but my preference is rock!! Keep checking my daily posts here on the website, and I'll promise you, I'll keep you up to date on your favorite bands, plus all other things that I consider to be kick-ass!
I'll tell you, I'm a pretty simple guy. I like beer, sports, cooking, good music, interesting people (who aren't annoying) and pretty much anything or anyone who can make me laugh.
Lastly, I just want to add how saddened I was to hear of the passing of Allen McGee. I never got the chance to meet Allen personally, but his legendary reputation certainly preceded him. He left BIG shoes to fill, and while he may be gone, I can guarantee that his spirit it still VERY STRONG here at 96X!!

March 1 (Reuters) - The top U.S. securities regulator issued a long-awaited request on Friday for information that could help it determine whether to require beefed-up ethical standards for retail brokerage firm advisers.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission wants data from the securities industry and the public about potential costs and benefits that could arise from changing standards of conduct that apply to giving advice to customers, according to an agency announcement.
At issue is a long-running controversy about the differences in responsibilities toward clients for securities brokers, who register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and registered investment advisers (RIAs), another type of financial adviser that is overseen by the SEC.
While RIAs must act as fiduciaries - that is, putting the best interest of clients first at all times - brokers now need only recommend securities that are "suitable" for clients, based on factors such as risk tolerance and age. For example, they can sell a product on which they earn a bigger commission if it meets the criteria, even if an equivalent product is cheaper or has a better performance track record.
The SEC is particularly interested in economic data and other details that can help it determine the potential effects for the industry and investors of changing existing standards, according to the request. That could include everything from information about how the two types of advisers assist investors in determining the type of account to open as well as details about the "nature and magnitude" of conflicts of interest among both types of advisers.
Any changes could still be a long way off, even if the SEC eventually decides to develop rules. The SEC, at that time, could request even more information on a range of "complex considerations" related to the proposal.
The SEC will collect responses for 120 days after its request appears in the Federal Register, the U.S. government's publication for many agency notices. (Reporting By Suzanne Barlyn; Editing by Kenneth Barry)

Paris (Aug. 21)
Vladimir Jabotinsky, leader of the Zionist Revisionists, today addressed a letter to Sir Philip Cunliffe-Lister, British Secretary of State for Colonies, pointing out that peace in Palestine had been endangered by the action of the Palestine government in permitting civilians to attempt to stop illegal Jewish immigration into the Holy Land.
The letter will be sent to the League of Nations in order to place on record Mr. Jabotinsky's warning of the grave consequences to be expected from the action of the Palestine government, it was announced.
Palestinian Arabs have organized volunteer patrols which guard the frontiers of Palestine to prevent Jewish immigrants from entering the country illegally and turn over to the police all illegal immigrants they detect.
Late last Friday a serious clash took place at Nathania, a Jewish colony, when a group of Arabs dressed as scouts passed through the village on their way to the seashore to guard against the illegal landing of Jewish immigrants. One Arab was injured in the fight between the Jews and the Arabs.

London (Jun. 16)
A letter bomb addressed to Greville Janner, a Labor MP and president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, was intercepted by the postal authorities yesterday. The explosives contained in a hand-addressed brown envelope were sufficient to maim the recipient but not to kill him, police said after the device was detected at a post office in Worthing, Sussex.
Janner has been a prominent campaigner against neo-Nazi and racist organizations and an outspoken defender of Israel. Other letter bombs
have been sent recently to five MPs, including Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The Provisional Irish Republican Army has claimed responsibility for them. But the police do not believe the device sent to Janner was the work of Irish terrorists.

Whether recognized widely or not, delivery of health care is a business. Even the nonprofit hospitals have to make money to continue to operate. Like other businesses, the delivery of health care has undergone major changes over the years to meet demands and to continue to provide services people expect.
Some hospitals are experimenting with making house calls in an attempt to cut costs and reduce the readmission rate.
Writing in The Wall Street Journal Tuesday, Laura Landro explained what is happening. "In addition to the growing number of doctors treating frail patients at home, insurers and health systems are sending teams of doctors, nurses, physician assistants and pharmacists into homes to monitor patients, administer treatments, ensure medications are being taken properly and assess risks for everything from falling in the shower to family-care burnout." She added: "Some are adopting programs called 'Hospital at Home' to provide hospital-level care in the home, including portable lab tests, ultrasounds, X-rays and electrocardiograms."
All of this sounds great for the patients, but there are issues such as travel time and personnel and other expenses for the hospital.
The federal government has started to withhold certain payments to hospitals with higher-than-predicted readmission rates for services for patients with certain health problems. For certain illnesses, some patients may be safer at home, the story in The Journal pointed out.
The Hospital at Home concept may be a wave of the future in treating certain patients. Hospital charges are high since they never close, medical equipment is very expensive, payrolls are high with 24-hour staffing, medications and other supplies are a big expense, and they only collect a percentage of what they charge due to price adjustments by insurance companies and the government.
The delivery of health care is in a constant change mode.

Morning Buzz: More On Jett Travolta's Death
John Travolta's 16-year-old son Jett, who was found deceased on New Year's Day, was on medication for seizures, reveals TMZ. The younger Travolta suffered seizures every four days that were "frequent and extremely serious," according to the Travolta family's lawyers and was on the anti-seizure drug Depakote to control them. The drug had apparently stopped working "after several years" and, fearing physical harm due to the drug, John Travolta and Jett's mother Kelly Preston had taken Jett off of it. Jett Travolta was allegedly experiencing one seizure a week and his parents were currently consulting with a neurosurgeon, according to reports.
Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have welcomed twin girls, according to Howard Stern. Us reports that the radio host made the announcement on his Sirius show this morning. Names and status of the twins and Romijn are unknown. The model/actress had to skip Stern's October wedding because she was on bedrest for her pregnancy.

People had run a story claiming that Reid had left Promises in Malibu, CA after just three weeks of treatment but her rep tells E! that the story is "not true." People has removed the story since the denial. Reid's exact addiction is unknown at this time.
Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson's Marley & Me is still #1 at the box office for the third week in a row, having grossed $106 million domestically, according to Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily.

"Nobody was hurt as a result of this incident. An investigation into the root cause is under way."
