ExxonMobil Marks 10th Year Supporting Hispanic Youth Awards
The oil company has contributed more than $1.4 million during its sponsorship.
IRVING, Texas -- ExxonMobil Corp. signed on for its 10th year of sponsoring the annual Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards, which honor America's Latino students who excel in engineering and mathematics. The oil company has contributed more than $1.4 million in the years it has sponsored the awards.
"ExxonMobil sees it as an imperative to encourage and reward students who are excelling in the vital areas of math and science," Rex W. Tillerson, ExxonMobil chairman and CEO, stated. "We want to develop more engineers and scientists, and our partnership with the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards supports that goal. We are proud of our involvement in the awards and congratulate all of the winners."
The Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards were created in 1998 by the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation to recognize and celebrate the achievements of Hispanic high school seniors across the nation and promote them as role models for their peers.
This spring, the Hispanic Heritage Awards Foundation will honor regional winners in 12 cities, including Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, San Jose and Washington, D.C. Award recipients are graduating seniors who are chosen based on academic achievement, community service and an essay about the importance of their heritage.
One National Youth Award winner will be chosen from the regional winners in each category and will receive an additional educational grant, a laptop computer and a trip to the National Youth Award presentation in Washington, D.C.
To help address the nation's math and science crisis, ExxonMobil also supports programs and organizations such as the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI), which focuses on improvements in these areas from pre-school through higher education.

Given the steep cuts to the International Affairs budget and exchange programs proposed by the Trump administration, and the increased scrutiny privately-funded exchanges have been subject to for several years, exchange advocacy is more important than ever.
As you know, educational and cultural exchange programs have a proven track record of promoting U.S. national security, strengthening the U.S. economy, and increasing mutual understanding between the U.S. and nations worldwide. For these vital public diplomacy programs to continue to flourish, policymakers in Washington need to hear directly from citizens across the United States about the local impact of exchanges in their home states and districts. They need to be aware that exchange programs benefit local communities, colleges and universities, high schools, businesses, and individual citizens.
Write your Member of Congress in support of international exchange here.
The Alliance's role in promoting international exchange
As part of its mission, the Alliance promotes the growth and impact of exchange programs and the effectiveness of its members by engaging in advocacy and building public awareness of the power of exchanges.
By developing contacts throughout the United States, we involve our community in a broad, systematic dialogue with elected representatives. By doing so, we build public and congressional support for international exchange programs.
For more than 50 years, a strong federal role has been vital to the success of international exchange programs. That role must be maintained to ensure continued benefits to the United States and its global partners. By engaging its members in dynamic advocacy, the Alliance works to ensure that the policy climate for international issues such as international exchange and person-to-person diplomacy continues to flourish.
Contact your Representative or Senator in support of international exchange programs
The Alliance's letter-writing system makes it easy for you to contact your Members of Congress and it only takes a minute or two to take action. The pre-written letters can be sent as crafted by the Alliance or can be customized by the sender.

The personal account of a 19-year-old woman describing how she was sexually molested and maltreated by her plastic surgeon in Shanghai's Ninth People's Hospital has caused a stir on Chinese social media. The girl, who calls herself "Unhappy Bunny 555" (@不开心的兔兔555) posted her story on Weibo on December 9.
Within 42 hours after posting, her post was viewed millions of times, receiving thousands of comments. Because her first post was allegedly removed by Sina Weibo, the young woman had to post it again. The second post was viewed nearly 11 million times by the time of writing.
The girl, nicknamed 'Tutu', has been posting about her experiences earlier this year. In her latest long blog post, which has been making its rounds on Chinese social media, she writes:
"I am a 19-year-old girl. In the winter of 2015, I went to Shanghai's Ninth People's Hospital's Dr. Yu Dong (余东) for surgery on my face. The story I am about to tell comes from my own personal experience, and if it contains any inaccuracies I am willing to face potential legal consequences."
"Because the shape of my face is somewhat sharp and not delicate, I started searching for plastic surgery on the internet. I come from a family that is not rich, and my parents are very conservative. I saved up my own Chinese New Year money and worked part-time jobs in my spare time, and after several years of saving, penny by penny, I planned to go to the big city to find a reliable doctor for the big surgery."
"I told Dr. Yu Dong I only wanted to fix my lower jaw, but he told me it would not be possible without also operating my chin. I trusted in his expertise and agreed."
"Like many other girls, I found Dr. Yu Dong through the internet. Looking at his work and writings on Weibo, I felt he was a very advanced, confident and competent doctor. Considering he was a specialist at the Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, I trusted there would not be any problems. Since I had to register at the hospital in order to get an appointment with him, I already spent a lot of money [arranging this] before I finally got my consultation. I told Dr. Yu Dong I only wanted to fix my lower jaw, but he told me it would not be possible without also operating my chin. I trusted in his expertise and agreed."
"I arrived on time on the day of my admittance to the hospital, paid the surgery fee, and waited in line with other girls to take pictures. I met a girl there who had come for a second facial surgery. She told me her first operation was on her cheekbones by Dr. Yu Dong, which did not come out right, and that she would now do a second operation. I immediately felt something was wrong (if the first time was not good, why would you come in a second time? Shouldn't it be right the first time around?), but this surgery had been my dream for such a long time and I had already paid for it, so I told myself it was okay."
"Until the day of the surgery, I did not see Dr. Yu Dong at all. Right before I would go on the operating table, I met Dr. Yu Dong in his office together with two other girls to briefly discuss our surgeries (he did not address the specifics of our surgeries, nor their medical implications). One of the girls named Hu then told the doctor that he had also had a breast surgery. The doctor then suddenly reached out, put his hand inside her hospital gown (which we had to wear without any underwear for the operation) and touched [her breasts]. When I asked Dr. Yu Dong about my own surgery, he just quickly withdrew his hand from Hu's hospital gown and suddenly touched my breasts. He smiled and half-jokingly told me "they definitely are not fake." Because I'd never encountered such a thing, I was just dumbfounded and felt very uncomfortable, but since he is a doctor who has seen so many beautiful women, and since the other girls did not react at all, I thought I was just imagining it."
"I was all alone in that hospital, without my family or friends, and I would be the next one on the operation table."
The girl then goes on to tell that before the operation, Dr. Yu Dong also made pictures of her in a small separate room without windows, where he again touched her breasts while making small-talk. "At this point," she writes: "He must have thought I was very naive and he said he wanted my WeChat and my number to contact me."
In a text message, the doctor then told Tutu to come to his office. "I thought it was to discuss my surgery," Tutu writes. She describes how, once in his office, the doctor held her in a strong embrace. Tutu writes:
"My mind was muddled, and before I could respond he had already locked the office, pinned me to the bed and had sex with me. It all happened within seconds and afterward Dr. Yu Dong quickly got up, pulled up his pants and told me he was being too crazy and begged me not to say, that he had never done this before and just really liked me. (..) He told me my surgery would be okay. To me, it was all a blur and happened so fast. I was all alone in that hospital, without my family or friends, and I would be the next one on the operation table. I was afraid to offend him out of fear it would affect my operation – I admit I was also at fault for attaching so much importance to my appearances – but I had saved up for so long and had already paid, this operation was something I'd dreamed about for so long. I did not think about how bad I actually felt and was afraid to tell anyone. In a complete daze, I got on the operation table."
Tutu goes on and describes the period after the operation:
"Within three days after the surgery, the hospital urged me to leave because of a shortage of beds. I had lost a lot of blood during my operation and my face was still very swollen and very painful. Unfortunately, I started getting a fever and after a week the swelling only got more serious. I did not want to face Dr. Yu Dong again and wanted to avoid his medical treatment. So I went to find the surgery assistant Dr. Xu Liang (徐梁), who gave me medication through IV but it didn't help. The doctor told me he had never seen anything like this, and that I should go and see the main doctor Yu Dong to have it checked out."
With Tutu's fever getting higher, and the pain getting worse, she went back to Dr. Yu Dong, who used a needle to puncture her cheek to let out the fluids. When the situation only got worse, he had her hospitalized to clean out her surgical wounds.
"This whole affair has brought tremendous injuries to my body and soul. The pain in my chin reminds me that there is no way to escape this nightmare."
In her blog post, Tutu described that during her second hospitalization she was crying with pain, had not eaten proper food for over two weeks, was weakened and dizzy. When she went for her appointment with Dr. Yu Dong, he had sex with her again:
"He suddenly locked the door, barbarously pushed my head against the office desk, tore my clothes and entered me. I was weak and light-headed, and could not even speak because of the tube in my mouth (…) After it had happened, he repeatedly warned me not to speak out about it and said that the expenses of my second hospitalization would not be charged. (..) I felt horrible, but I was in bad shape and had no money left. Being a girl from a simple background all alone in Shanghai, I was also afraid to offend a man with the position of associate professor of a top hospital, and thought nobody would probably believe me."
Tutu's account continues, as her wounds do not get better and she needs her stitches to be removed. When she returns to Dr. Yu Dong to be helped, she writes that he tells her he can only help her if she satisfies his needs and forces her to receive oral rape.
Six months after the operation, Tutu still suffers from intolerable pains and feels as if there are holes in her chin. Although Dr. Yu tells her there is no problem, a new facial scan points out her chin has broken bones and two big holes. Tutu also shared her CT scan on Weibo (see image).
Tutu writes that it was not until the day of her CT scan that she discovered the doctor had actually performed a V-Line operation on her – a controversial surgery where the jaw is cut in a V-shape that is not even allowed to be performed in many hospitals.
With no relevant department to turn to within the hospital, and Dr. Yu having blocked her out as a patient, Tutu decided to share her story on social media:
"This whole affair has brought tremendous injuries to my body and soul. I cannot sleep and every time the pain in my chin reminds me that there is no way to escape this nightmare. I've thought about suicide countless times. I've sought medical help everywhere, but this cannot be fixed, it's an irreversible damage. My pain goes with me everywhere, I can no longer go out with my friends, although I should just be able to live a happy life like other young girls. I don't want to be weak anymore, I want to get my story out there. I know I will receive a lot of backlash, but I have to share this to make sure other girls won't end up in the same nightmare."
"Dr. Yu Dong is evil and has no medical ethics."
The Weibo post includes screenshots of WeChat conversations between 'Tutu' and Dr. Yu, hospital bills, CT scans, and screenshots of social media posts by other women who say they have become a victim of Dr. Yu's malpractices.
Tutu's revelations have stirred up much controversy on Weibo and WeChat, with many netizens supporting her and expressing their anger. "How can such a bastard become a doctor anyway?", many people wonder.
Despite the support, there are also many people who doubt Tutu's story for lack of evidence of the sexual assaults. Although there are many other women claiming they also had sex with Dr. Yu, some people wonder if it could be considered rape. "He is a doctor who had sexual relations with his patients," one netizen responds: "Either way, his medical ethics are flawed."
Other people have also come forward on Chinese social media with stories about the Shanghai Ninth Hospital malpractices. "I don't know if this story is true or not, but I do know this hospital has many dirty practices," one netizen says, sharing her own bad experiences with the hospital staff. Another netizen says: "I had a nose job in this hospital in June, and it completely failed. My nose is crooked."
"I had my eyelids done by Dr. Yu Dong, and he was terribly impatient. It was the first time I had ever had a surgery and I was so scared, but he never consoled me and only ridiculed me. (..) Although I did not experience the same problems as the author after the operation, I do feel like Dr. Yu Dong is evil and has no medical ethics," netizen 'Daix' writes.
Tutu also shared that she has been receiving many private messages from young women who have been molested by Dr. Yu Dong since she has shared her story on Weibo.
The Shanghai's Ninth People's Hospital released a statement through its official Weibo page on Sunday. The hospital has set up a research team to investigate the case, the post says, and will take legal measures depending on the outcome of the investigative report.
"You knew about this long before," one netizen writes: "But you did not take any action until this case blew up. This is just no good."
In the meantime. Dr. Yu's wife has also come forward on Weibo. She has stated that her husband denies all allegations, and that she will stand by him.

Institutions of Corporate Governance
The paper is intended to provide a broad overview of the field of corporate governance, and to integrate recent research. Corporate governance is viewed from the perspective of the agency costs involved in obtaining equity investment from minority outside stockholders in a firm controlled by others. Two mechanisms for bounding those agency costs are examined, primarily for the US, Germany and Japan: legal (fiduciary) duties imposed on those in control of the firm, and the exercise of stockholder voting rights. A tentative effort at evaluation of different governance systems concludes the paper.

OK... I am somewhat new to Exchange 2007, I have been using PFDAVAdmin for alot of tedious tasks. It worked great for public folders several weeks back. All of a sudden today I go to use it and I am getting the following error:

1st Post
I'm also wondering if anyone has ever experienced this with a Exchange 2007.
Using PFDAVAdmin from workstation with .NET 1 installed.
Just got mine to work by making sure that the domain name in the connection setting was specified with full fqdn. So if domain name is abc.local make sure this is specified in the domain part of the user authentication.
Also for the exchange and GC server I used full fqdn of the servers

Did anyone get a solition to this one?
I've been looking around and see lots of mentions of "fixed it" but no one is saying how they managed it.
Nov 13, 2013 at 10:19 UTC
I was having a similar issue until I installed .NET Framework 1.1 on my workstation and tried using PFDAVAdmin again. This resolved the issue for me.
Note: you don't want to install .NET 1.1 on the exchange server, just on whatever workstation you want to use to access your exchange server.

Film There are, of course, plenty of ways one could celebrate International Women's Day but with time being limited, I've decided upon the easiest option of posting video of one of my favourite women speaking impressively on what's often considered a relatively frivolous topic because of the egotism which often ensues.
To accompany this year's Oscars, Newsweek brought together a group of A-list actors to talk about their profession.
The rump of the material is here, but this is my favourite as they consider the symbolism of the trailer with George Clooney deploying humour before Tilda Swinton goes directly for the business aspect, the conversation suddenly taking a turn for the film theory:
Like all of these conversation fragments, often what isn't said is just as interesting. Who could Charlize Theron be referring to?

Our biggest challenge is converting the 25 to 35 year old to becoming participants in our industry, "said Brian Gamache, chief executive of slot machine maker WMS Industries Inc at the annual Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.
But the chief executives of Las Vegas- based MGM Resorts International and Las Vegas Sands Corp. differed during a keynote panel discussion with four other industry leaders at the Global Gaming Expo about whether states or the federal government are best able to provide oversight.
LAS VEGAS-- With billions of dollars at stake, the head of the gambling industry's main lobbying group sounded a pessimistic note Tuesday about the prospect of Congress passing Internet regulatory laws this year.
LAS VEGAS-- It doesn't look like Congress will pass Internet gambling regulatory laws this year, the head of the industry's main lobbying group said Tuesday, as he cast online wagering hosted by sites overseas as one of the biggest threats to the casino industry in the United States.
WASHINGTON-- House Speaker John Boehner bought stock in two health care companies this year, while third-ranking House Republican Kevin McCarthy bought and sold Apple stock within a few days. The initial disclosures for members of Congress were posted Monday on the Internet. Congress passed the law as part of an effort to repair its sagging public image.
The U.S. House and Senate were "very close" to a deal on extending the payroll tax holiday and unemployment benefits when the Senate called off talks and went home, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor told CNBC Wednesday.
An extension of the payroll-tax cut was in serious jeopardy Tuesday as the House and Senate refused to negotiate a compromise that affects 160 million Americans.
Scheduled to vote today, the House of Representatives is contentiously debating a Republican proposal that rejects a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits.
Seeing the president and members of Congress in action gives a new perspective on the debt talks. Click for scenes from the talks, in the month leading up to the compromise.
The US is likely to see its debt downgraded by the credit rating agencies, despite the passage of a bill to raise the country's debt ceiling on Monday, analysts told CNBC.
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) provides an update on the debt deal talks in Congress.
Moody's declined to comment about how it would react to the government's tentative deal, but it referred back to its latest report it released on the U.S. debt debate.
If the rest of the country thinks that Washington has gone mad this summer, that is pretty much the view in this bewildered capital, too. The New York Times reports.
As America's largest foreign creditor, China has little option but to hope for the best and try to calm jittery markets in the event of a downgrade of US debt by the ratings agencies according to economists at Capital Economics.
Author Adam Mansbach said what every parent was thinking, "Hey, kids: 'Go the F— to Sleep.'" Now, one TV anchor is saying what most of America has been thinking: "Hey, Congress: 'Go the F— to Sleep!'"
When "the dollar is the reserve currency underpinning the system, waking up to discover that U.S. debt may not be AAA after all is surely a market event," says an analyst at one European bank.
It's this quartet who will have to draw on their experience, skill and charm to find the deal and the votes to pass it for averting an unprecedented government default next week..
The big sticking points between the House GOP leadership and Sen. Harry Reid's latest plan are 1) the House wants two debt increases, one this year and one next year (Reid has just one increase) and 2) the House Republicans want a guaranteed balanced-budget-amendment vote.
With a default deadline looming, House Republican leaders are giving the Tea Party what amounts to a symbolic floor vote on its "cut, cap and balance" debt-limit plan.
The White House says President Barack Obama is stepping directly into stalled debt talks, inviting Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Republican leader Mitch McConnell separately to discussions Monday.

I work in Discipleship and Faith Formation Ministries for the CRCNA from my home in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. Working from home may sound like I work alone, but most days are anything but quiet as I'm participating in video conversations with individuals or groups who are engaged in ministry. Those kinds of interactions are what make the job so energizing!
I've been involved in children's ministry since I was a child myself and I'm so thankful for the ways children have nurtured and continue to nurture my faith. I think it's that kind of cross-generational faith nurture that led to my interest in intergenerational ministry. I love it when different generations gather in worship, in service, and to learn from and with each other. And studies show how important it is for God's family to do together!
Over the years I've worked as part of a team to shape the children's ministry curricula Kid Connection and Dwell, published by Faith Alive Resources. I'm also the author of the Home Grown Handbook for Christian Parenting and a contributing author/editor for the family devotionals You're Invited and God's Big Story cards.
My family and I attend The Journey church where you're most likely to find me sitting on the floor asking wondering questions with a group of 4 year olds.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, Abuja, held yesterday that the temporary order of attachment granted in relation to some identified assets of Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose did not violate Section 308 of the constitution.
The judge said the intention of the immunity clause granted to some public office holders is not to shield them from investigation by security agencies for the purpose of obtaining evidence for future uses.
Justice Dimgba gave the ruling yesterday on an application by Fayose, whose lawyer Mike Ozekhome (SAN), had sought to vacate the order of interim attachment granted by the court on July 20 to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The order was in relation to the EFCC's investigation of some activities of the governor and some of his associates.
The affected property to which the order relate, include four sets of four-bedroom apartments at Chalets 3, 4, 6 and 9, Plot 100, Tiaminu Savage, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Also affected are at 44 Osun Crescent, Maitama, Abuja and Plot 1504 Yedzeram Street, Maitama Abuja.
The EFCC had, while seeking the order, stated in an affidavit accompanying its motion ex-partethat the properties were acquired through proceeds of fraud, which Fayose allegedly got through kickbacks from contractors and other alleged fraud.
It stated that the funds used for the purchase of the properties were said to be drawn from the sum of N1, 219,490,000, which was said to be part of the N4, 745,000,000, allegedly stolen from the treasury of the Federal Government through the Office of the National Security Adviser.
In his application filed on notice on July 21, Ozekhome hinged his request for the court to set aside the order of interim forfeiture on 10 grounds.
He argued that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain and/or proceed to grant the interim order

The bush pilot turns in his seat to fix a bloodshot gaze on the passengers seated behind him. Look where you're going! I want to shout as his bucking bronco of a propeller-driven, six-seater plane heaves and kicks its way through a canyon in northwestern Idaho.
''You know we're headed for a dirt strip in the mountains, right?'' We nod docilely. We stare ahead at the canyon wall toward which we move with alarming speed.
Welcome to adventure travel, where the adventure always appears in ways other than the life-affirming challenges promised in glossy brochures.
A woman puts her hands on the seat in front of her and buries her head in her arms. Who knew that at the end of the week she would be urging her kayak over bigger and bigger falls to rush through the rapids of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River prized by white-water aficionados? They revere it because its 75 rapids covering 75 wet miles are unpredictable, technically challenging and, at times, terrifying.
Among the group on this plane and those we'll be joining in Stanley, Idaho, are two women accompanying their athletic husbands and a woman whose idea of roughing it is finding a fly in her hotel room, but who's here to celebrate her husband's 50th birthday. There's a gentle couple from a small town in Oklahoma who are hoping for still waters between rapids so they can fly-fish, and a divorced father of two prepubescent children, a girl and a boy, who may be counting on the river to stun them into submission.Continue reading the main story
So, what's my excuse? Six months ago, my husband died. I wanted death-defying adventure.
Off I went to acquire the clothing and equipment suggested by Outdoor Adventure River Specialists (OARS), the outfitters that had been recommended to me by a fan of white water. Long underwear, rowing gloves, a warm hat, water-wicking shirts and pants, a wet suit and booties. OARS would provide sleeping bag and tent.
I was drawn to this adventure not because of white water, of which I had no experience, but by the notion that I would be entering the second-largest wilderness area (after Death Valley) in the continental United States: the 2.3-million-acre Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, with its otters, eagles, bears, bobcats, hot springs, silence and stars, stars, stars.
Wilderness was what I needed, a place that would reflect how I felt.
A place big enough and tough enough to absorb grief.
When you hear the word ''wilderness'' while sitting in your Manhattan apartment, you don't envision the emptiness I now witness from the plane window. For the last hour I've been watching drought-dried plains rise to craggy mountains and deep forest making way for a golden ribbon of river, all of it untouched by human intervention. No roads, no buildings. The only way in is on the river.
At the little settlement of Stanley, we tumble out of the plane and take deep, grateful breaths of the cold mountain air. It's the third week in August, and it smells like winter here.
Next to the rocky knob where the plane has landed is a rusty pickup truck with one door, three wheels. Below are a few log cabins, a small motel with a highfalutin name, Mountain Village Lodge, and the Kasino Club. That's Stanley, year-round population around 100.
We check into the motel, then head for the Kasino Club. Mountain men with weathered faces and upturned collars drink beer and ignore our eager arrival. The beef is tough, the martinis dry.
Back at the motel we meet our group leader, Bronco, a very serious fellow. If any of us came here thinking this would resemble a summer outing on the Thames, we got that wrong.
''Should you fall overboard,'' Bronco says gravely, ''face downstream and pull your knees into your chest so your feet, not your head, push off the rocks.'' We try to commit this to memory. ''And never let your body get ahead of your boat. Your body moves a lot faster.''
''You must always wear a life jacket when on the rafts,'' he says, ''and listen to the crew. They know what they're doing.''
We're given ammo cans that hold our drinking mugs. The wilderness environment is zealously protected, and to that end there will be no paper cups or plates. And should you want to bathe, says Bronco, you carry water from the river to the shore. You suds up -- Castile soap only -- and pour the bucket of water over yourself. ''Do not get soap in the river.''
He demonstrates river toothbrushing techniques. ''A small amount of toothpaste, stand away from the river, take a sip of water and then do this,'' he says, dispensing a wide arc of imaginary spit through clenched teeth.
I pick up two waterproof bags, one holding my sleeping bag, the other my tent. I grab the ammo can. I can barely move.
The next morning -- temperature 35 degrees -- two small planes fly us to Indian Creek. After landing with a thump on a narrow strip of dirt in a canyon bottom, we make our way along a trail through dense stands of ponderosa pines.
Suddenly there it is. The sight of the river brings a shock of tears. Odd what mourning does. Beauty becomes a gift that is almost unbearably poignant. Water has always had the power to elicit a profound response, promising an escape route to freedom.
We inspect the conscientiously maintained yellow rafts and meet the crew. A brawny lot in their 20's, without real names. This is Bram. Here are Mike, Hibbah and Grimes. And here's Bob, and Brick, a woman with lovely, long, muscular legs. Bram and Mike, who guide on other rivers, are along to learn the ways of the Middle Fork. So much young flesh. We who are in our 50's breathe in the sight with a sigh.
They've been busy these past 24 hours washing and outfitting the rafts. One raft will carry our bags, another the cooking equipment and another the toilet that, because of environmental concerns, will not be emptied until the end of the trip. There are four rafts that can carry four guests and a guide who does the rowing, for those who want a gentle ride and a bit of fishing, and two inflatable kayaks.
I climb onto Hibbah's big raft, in which everyone paddles. He explains the orders to the six of us. We practice in the shallows. ''Left paddle!'' he shouts. Those on the left dig into and pull the water back toward the stern while those on the right sit at attention. ''Right paddle!'' This is how we'll negotiate the rapids' sharp turns between boulders.
We're off. here comes the first rapid. We hear it before we see it, and then there's the white spray like so many arms waving heavenward during a revival meeting, Praise the Lord! ''Is this a No. IV?'' The 13-year-old kid in the raft wants to know. He needs facts and figures to take back home. ''We don't rate 'em,'' Hibbah shouts above the roar. ''This isn't about rating. This is about living.'' (Fact: At times of high water, the Middle Fork is rated a solid class IV, although in drier months like this, it's more like class III-IV. Rapids are rated on a scale of I to VI: I is flat water with a little current, VI is commercially unrunnable.)
I had not expected a wall of water. Nor had I known that paddling would be such hard work. ''Left paddle!'' We dig in and pull back with all our strength while those on the right retrieve their paddles before they break against the canyon wall. We made it! We're wet. Our teeth are chattering. The water temperature is 43. ''Paddlers halt!'' shouts Hibbah. We wait for the rafts behind us to slide down the slippery streak of white foam.
Two more rapids and we're beginners no more. We're getting cocky. We start sharing jokes.
Bronco guides us into the beach of our first campsite, a rocky bank leading to forested slopes studded with yellow-centered, lavender fleabane, shrubs of white snowberry, pink-petaled fireweed and a blaze of red Indian paintbrush. The only sounds here are the low notes of the river's constant chatter against rock, and the higher calls of mountain plover, killdeer and the throat-clearing rasps of Clark's nutcrackers.
''The beach doesn't look anything like last week,'' one of the crew notes. ''The storm washed it out.'' Rivers, storms, rocks, trees, sand and stone -- these are the topics of conversation in the days ahead.
Before darkness comes, I struggle to pitch my tent. Pound these stakes in with a stone. O.K., now pull these straps through them. And there it is, upside down, backward and not upright. I curse, and deliberate the merits of a back-to-nature night on the beach under the stars. After all, isn't that why I came? I unroll my sleeping bag onto a ledge just above the water. I climb in. And then out again. My left shoulder is on a rock. I rearrange and crawl back in. My hands and feet are cold. Out again to retrieve gloves and wool socks.
A nighthawk announces the dying of the light. Bats swoop overhead looking more like shadows blown on the wind than living, winged creatures. The river gurgles its constant assertion: ''Here I am. Here I go.''
Maybe Emerson was right. Maybe nature is emblematic. Isn't everything in flux no matter how hard we try to hold on, first with our hands, and then our hearts? Can a river teach acceptance of impermanence by its own, impersonal example?
Sleep eludes me. as I lie on my back watching the stars and planets move across the sky, I remind myself that it is I who am moving. I who could slide off the earth's edge should gravity decide to take the night off. A falling star streaks across the night blue sky. I vow not to blink. I don't sleep for fear I'll miss something.
The stars have gone, but daylight has not replaced them when I smell the deep, dark perfume of coffee. I pull on parka and boots and move through the chilly air toward a blazing Sterno stove and the dark figures of Brick and Bram preparing breakfast. Fresh fruit, containers of cereal, pitchers of milk and cream. Bacon is set to fry, eggs are broken into a tin bowl. I reach for the coffeepot when it ceases its spluttering. We pull our turtlenecks up to our noses, zipping our parkas tight. The mug warms my hands through my gloves. The brew's bitterness rouses my palate. All senses begin their complicated adjustment to daytime.
I elect to paddle one of two inflatable kayaks. In the shallows, I demonstrate what I know. ''Be aggressive when you come to the rapids,'' Hibbah advises. ''Paddle into them. Don't get turned sideways. Wear a helmet.''
I change into my wet suit and we're off.
The first rapid, a narrow sluice between boulder and canyon wall, carries me so close to the wall that I can smell its mossy surface and feel the cold breath that it seems to exhale. I turn the sharp corner and surge down to still waters. The sensation is closer to skiing than boating as I've known it.
It's downhill all the way. From the water-level kayak I can see the steep gradient of the river. Our put-in, at Indian Creek, is about 4,700 feet; at Salmon, where the Middle Fork will spit us out into the Main Salmon River, it is about 3,000.
''How'd it feel?'' Bronco calls from his raft. He's always the first to go down a rapid, testing its wayward ways. He also goes down first so that he can watch to see that each of us makes it safely through the white water.
''Great!'' I shout back.
Time for lunch and a stop at Sunflower Hot Springs, where sunflowers grow in profusion around, you've got it, hot springs flowing over high rocks to lower pools. I stand beneath the fall of 70-degree water as my muscles sigh and release. Then into the pool, where I lie back and watch a golden eagle dipping one wing and then another into the air high above, as if testing its reality.
We lunch on smoked salmon, bagels and cream cheese before it's back to the boats and the wild hydraulics of Upper Jack Ass rapid. By 5 p.m. we've arrived at camp, 17 miles from where we started this morning. Over dinner around the campfire, Bronco reviews the day's adventures and plans tomorrow's. Coffee at 6:30 a.m., breakfast by 7:30, break camp by 9.
We say good night, and again I choose to sleep under the stars. And again, the celestial show makes sleep impossible. Perhaps the resulting fatigue is what causes the accident the next day.
Back in the kayak, I take the first rapid and, in spite of desperate struggles to keep my bow headed into the waves, I am pushed sideways. Water swoops at me from all sides, and I'm flipped. Something snaps as I'm dragged under. I fear it's my neck until I realize that it's the band holding my sunglasses. I'm turned head over heels and sucked down to the rocky bottom; my helmeted head is dragged along the boulders. It's taking far too long to surface. I'm contemplating my death when the river spits me out as if finding me not to its liking.
Bronco stands at tense attention. ''Swim to Hibbah's raft,'' he shouts. Somehow I manage. I grab hold, and the paddlers look down with concern. I feign bravado. No one is fooled.
''You want to get back in the kayak?'' Bram has retrieved it and the paddle. ''Of course,'' I say.
The truth is the remaining rapids fail to thrill. I am cold, I am wet, and I am out of my league. Next year I'm going to attend Hibbah's weeklong white-water kayaking school before plummeting downriver.
The next days take us deeper into steeper canyons and ever more challenging rapids (I am back in the large raft) followed by still nights when the only sounds are those of the river. Sometimes I think I hear the voices of the dead in its rush. My grandfather, my father, my brother, my husband. The river seems a chorus of their voices. Is this where they've gone? Cassiopeia, the Big Dipper, Delphinius, Vega, the moon, all engaging in some ancient language of light, have no answers.
By the sixth day the rapids grow more perilous, yet two men and the formerly airsick woman take turns rising to the kayaking challenge as the river races to its confluence with the Main Salmon. Once ashore, everyone takes group photos, exchanges e-mail addresses and makes plans for next year. Bronco calls us to attention. ''You whipped up some magic out there,'' he says. ''Take it with you and spread it around. God knows, the world needs it.''
I don't know about the world, but I did.Continue reading the main story

The 2006 Mecca hostel collapse occurred in Mecca, Saudi Arabia on 5 January 2006. A hostel housing Muslim pilgrims performing Hajj collapsed, killing 76 people.
The Hostel
The four-storey hostel, Lulu'at al-Khair, situated just 61 metres from the Masjid al Haram, was in demand as the Hajj was about to begin, and at least 30 people were known to be staying there. As well as housing Hajjis, the building also contains a restaurant and shops. At its base it is surrounded by market stalls. The building was at least 25 years old and its operator, Habib Turkestani, claims that the building was structurally sound and in "good shape".
According to reports, prior to the collapse a fire was seen spreading downstairs in the building. The fire alarm went off and sprinklers were in operation. The building was not full, as many of the occupants had made their way to the Masjid al Haram for mid-day Salat. As soon as the collapse happened, nearby people began to dig to try to remove the rubble. Up to one thousand Saudi rescue workers were dispatched, and two large cranes were brought in to try to clear the masonry. People in buildings nearby were evacuated as a precaution.
Originally, the Saudi government declared that thirteen people had died, but this figure quickly rose settling at seventy six. Most of those who died were passers-by, people shopping in the markets or returning from the Masjid al Haram after Salat. Most were foreign nationals from Arab and Asian nations. The dead will be buried in the Jannat al-Mu'alla cemetery in Mecca, where Muslims believe Muhammad's sahaba will rise again on the day of Judgement.

is it me or is the production on the album lacking slightly? hardly any bass, boxy drums etc. I just imagine how EVEN better it would be with better production.
I caught a semi reunion a little while back where Josh plugged in and he had the LTE drummer on the skins. it was intense.

When researchers first identified a new species of sea squirt (Didemnum sp.) in Georges Bank, it covered about 6 square miles of the ocean floor. Well folks, that was about one year ago. Current estimates indicate that the invasive tunicate now covers at least 40 square miles. MaineToday.com has the full story.

OLOC Regrets That We Have Cancelled the October 2016 Gathering in Atlanta.
We want you to know that we have cancelled the Gathering that was to happen in early October of 2016 in Atlanta.
National OLOC deeply regrets that ZAMI NOBLA and the Atlanta OLOC chapter terminated the partnership with us to produce it due to "irreconcilable differences" about how to advertise who was invited.
The ZAMI NOBLA and Atlanta OLOC Lesbians wanted to advertise the Gathering as welcoming "trans and cis" Lesbians. Since about half of our members and half of the Steering Committee prefer that OLOC be for female-born Lesbians, not self-identified Lesbians, some of the Steering Committee members did not want to do that. They wanted to stick with the membership statement they worked for years to come up with * and advertise it as "for all Old Lesbians". While it was still under discussion, ZAMI NOBLA and Atlanta OLOC decided to end the relationship.
Note that National OLOC had already agreed to open this joint event to Lesbians 40 or older as fits ZAMI NOBLA'S membership guideline.
We don't yet know when or where we will have our next Gathering, but we will let you know soon.
If you have already made flights or hotel reservations for Atlanta, simply cancel the hotel reservation. For airline, if you need assistance, let Ruth Debra know by contacting her at firstname.lastname@example.com or 760-318-6794. Registrations will be refunded.
We very much appreciate your support and understanding and we welcome constructive suggestions from our membership about this situation.
The National OLOC Steering Committee:
Sally Tatnall, Co-Director
Alix Dobkin, Co-Director
Jan Griesinger
Ruth Debra
Pat Cull
Bonnie Wagner
Ali Marrero-Calderon
Paij Wadley-Bailey
*Membership Statement as of 10/23/15: National OLOC welcomes as members Old Lesbians who have reached their 60th year."

Do we have an offtopic/chat thread for all random/pointless conversations? Would its place be in the 'General' section? It would be a nice way to get to know each other better maybe.
There is a thread in personal section called How was your day? Come check it out.

Irving Fryar Ordained Minister
February 5, 2012 by staff
Irving Fryar Ordained Minister, Irving Fryar considers himself "lucky to be alive." Guns didn't get him. Drugs didn't get him. Alcohol didn't get him. The Lord did. Fryar, the Miami Dolphins' leading receiver, says he saved himself through his religion and by becoming an ordained minister.
Now, using his travails as a reference point, Fryar helps others through his sermons and work at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Pompano Beach, Fla. "There's not many things I preach about that I haven't been through and there's not many things that I say that I don't know about because I've experienced them personally," Fryar said Wednesday in a conference call with media covering the Patriots.
Irving Fryar says he's happy. Giddy might better describe him. It's as if he has died and gone to football heaven. Finally, he's on a team that's winning. Finally, he's on a team with the premier passer in the game. Finally, he's a member of a solid organization playing for the all-time winningest coach in the game. "It's good to be down here," Fryar said Wednesday by phone from Miami. "It's good to be winning. It's good to be on a team such as the Dolphins."

Hi everyone. I was asked by my kids' school to do an introduction to cupcake decorating as an after school activity this semester. I plan on using the first session (each session is an hour long and will include 10 children ranging from 3rd grade to 5th grade) to give them the basics of buttercream; how to tint, how to fill a bag, practicing with star, and dot tips, showing them how to cover cupcake either with a pouf of buttercream using 1M or a spatula and letting them cover a cupcake at the end using one of the above choices.
I know 1 class i will introduce them to fondant and show them how to roll, tint, keep it from sticking and them show them how to cover a cupcake with a fondant cupcake.
I plan on having 1 session include "cone" cupcakes and will have the kids choose between doing a buttercream clown and/or a fondant cherry/hot fudge and buttercream "whipped cream."
I thought about having the kids do fondant "leaves" painted with luster dust for November along with a cupcake with a fondant acorn/ possible turkey.
December will do snowman cupcakes (boring???) and i thought maybe a snowflake stencil or stamping and then brushing with luster dust? Would love to use royal icing but don't want to use sooo many mediums.
I also looked through "Hello Cupcake" and thought maybe it would be nice to do one of their "doggie" cupcakes that uses marshmallows 2 cupcakes for each dog. Or, cut out fondant flowers/sporting theme.
Liked the ladybug on buttercream grass cupcakes i've seen everywhere too. I am just having soo much trouble coming up with a 8-10 week syllabus and would love any help out there! Has anyone taken a course like this for their kids? thanks guys!!!!
I haven't attended any classes like that, but when I used to work in the schools, I would bake cupcakes and bring icing with me. Each set of kids that I would work with would have a free day (I'm a speech therapist), to decorate their own little holiday cupcake. I pretinted the icings, so just let the kids decorate their own...they LOVED it.
I would say just try going with the seasons or the holiday for that month...so October may something Halloweenish, November - Thanksgiving, December - Christmas, etc. Then in the New Year you can pick a random theme...like Bugs in January, Hearts in February, Spring in March etc.
From what you described, it sounds like its going to be awesome. Don't worry about impressing the kids - whatever they do they will have a blast!
I hope that helps!

Behringer Commercial Speaker CE500A-WH
- Description
- Additional Information
Behringer Commercial Speaker CE500A-WH Product Description
The CE500A-BK speaker system is ideal for business environments, letting you enjoy full, clear sound over a wide listening area. Specifically designed to complement indoor commercial facilities, such as restaurants, shops, exhibition halls and more, the 80-Watt CE500A-BK comes equipped with special mounting brackets so they can be placed on walls, or suspended from above to meet your coverage requirements.
Powerful amplifiers coupled with state-of-the-art technology sure sounds impressive – but what about the part of the system you actually hear? they never cut corners on their transducers (woofers and tweeters), and they never just pull what they have off the shelf. Their LF (Low Frequency) and HF (High Frequency) transducers are designed specifically for each application – it's what sets them apart from the competition. When you buy a CE500A-BK, you can rest assured the transducers inside have been engineered to perform flawlessly with every other element for truly professional results. As a result, the CE500A-BK provides ruler-flat frequency response from 60 Hz - 23 kHz, with tight and accurate low end, articulately-detailed mids and crystal-clear highs.
Connecting the CE500A-BK couldn't be easier thanks to the convenient rear panel, which provides a standard XLR Mic Input and RCA jacks for connecting a computer, CD – or even an mp3 deck. To raise and lower the mic volume, just turn the Level control (RCA input levels are controlled by the source device). To run two CE500A-BKs in stereo mode, connect your playback deck to the right RCA jack on one loudspeaker and the left jack on the other. You can even chain together as many CE500A-BKs as you'd like via the handy Link XLR socket – all you need is a standard mic cable.
- Multi-purpose, 80-Watt, active speaker for commercial indoor installations (restaurants, shops, exhibitions), multimedia, home recording studio and audio/video production
- Exceptional sound quality, wide dynamic range and ultra-linear frequency range from 60 Hz to 23 kHz
- Powerful 5 ½" woofer with extremely light-weight cellulose cone and high-resolution ½" tweeter
- Integrated limiter for ultimate system control and speaker protection
- Ultra-low noise Mic/Line input with Volume control and peak LED
- Additional Line output connector allows linking of additional speaker systems
- Ultra-flexible wall-mount brackets included
- 3-Year Warranty Program*
- Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany

The Family Heliobacteriaceae
- Michael T. Madigan
The family Heliobacteriaceae consists of phototrophic bacteria that contain bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl) g (Fig. 1). This unique Bchl, found only in the heliobacteria, distinguishes them from all other anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria (Madigan, 2001; Madigan and Ormerod, 1995b). The heliobacteria were discovered in a very serendipitous fashion by Howard Gest and Jeff Favinger in the early 1980s; a fascinating account of this discovery can be found in Gest (1994). The unique characteristics of heliobacteria were first revealed a few years later with publication of the description of Heliobacterium chlorum (Gest and Favinger, 1983) and the structure of Bchl g (Brockmann and Lipinski, 1983). Subsequent research in the Gest laboratory led to the discovery of Heliobacillus, and with this, the establishment of the family Heliobacteriaceae (Beer-Romero and Gest, 1987). Four genera of heliobacteria are currently recognized: Heliobacterium, Heliobacillus, Heliophilum and Heliorestis (

Dear Barbara: I've recently been told that I am allergic to wheat. I don't mind giving up the bread, etc., but I don't want to give up my gravy, sauces and soups. What can I use as a thickener other than flour? I know I can use cornstarch, but I don't like it; it tastes chalky to me. Is there anything else I can use? — Michelle from Stockton
Dear Michelle: If you are making soup that contains vegetables, such as potato soup, you can remove some of the vegetables, puree them, and return them to the soup. This will help to thicken the broth. I personally use arrowroot. According to Barron's Cooking Guide, written by Sharon Tyler Herbst, arrowroot is the starchy product of a tropical tuber of the same name. It has twice the thickening power of flour. Unlike cornstarch that can taste chalky if undercooked, and can become watery if it is overcooked, arrowroot is clear when you cook it and has no taste of its own. You must, however, mix it with a little cold water to make a "slurry" before adding it to the cooking product. This prevents any lumps.
I actually use a little strainer and pour the mixture through the strainer into the product that I am cooking. I do the same if I am thickening with cornstarch.
Dear Barbara: I love to fish, and I like to cook it on the grill. My problem is that it always sticks to the grill. I've tried wrapping it in foil, but then it sticks to the foil. Do you have any ideas that would keep the fish from sticking? — Drew from Lodi
Dear Drew: I have a nephew who had the same problem. He found that if you oil your grill grate before you start, and put a little olive oil on your fish before seasoning it, it really helps the "sticky" situation. It's best not to move the fish around: leave it in one spot, turning only once. If you want to wrap it in foil, try crinkling up the foil before you use it to wrap your fish, using a little olive oil on the fish before seasoning. The wrinkles in the foil will help to keep it from sticking. If you are sealing it in foil, don't flip the fish! You can scale a fish easier if you rub the scales first with vinegar.
Dear Barbara: Can you freeze raw eggs? — Anita from Lodi
Dear Anita: Absolutely, you can freeze raw eggs. You just need to know a few things ahead of time. You can freeze the whites alone, or the yolks alone, or both together, but you must break the yolk. It will not freeze well if you don't. Never try to freeze a whole egg in the shell. The liquid will freeze and expand, breaking the shell. So if you have a recipe that just calls for egg yolks, you can save and freeze the whites, marking the date and how many whites there are. Then, when you get that recipe that calls for just egg whites, you're ready! Be sure to always let them thaw in the refrigerator.

Despite the lackluster performance of AMD's recently launched FX series, AMD's first APU of the year is still going strong. The Brazos based T56N, an E-350 for the embedded market, has popped up in a new system from WIN Enterprises aimed at casino gaming applications.
The PL-80330 is being announced today along with its little brother the MB-80330, a motherboard only version. Both offer the standard list of features you've come to expect from an APU based platform. Ranging from DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4 support, to decoding capabilities for H.264, MPEG2, and Blu-ray 3D; things appear pretty normal here. Where the PL-80330 really sets itself apart from your standard Brazos box is in its port configuration. Sporting dual LAN ports, a pair of DVI ports, and a couple of COM ports on its back panel, the PL-80330 offers support for up to 10 COM ports in total.
In addition to industry specific port configuration, one of the key selling points of the PL-80330 is the security it offers. It has physical security in the form of a lock on the outside of the unit, in addition to some vague software and data security defenses. But probably the most secure feature it has to offer is its support for both Windows XP Embedded and the far more secure operating system, Linux.
In terms of compute performance the PL-80330 looks like a winner due to its APU underpinnings which slot it in just above the PL-80320, a VIA Nano based system. The question that will make or break this product for WIN Enterprises is how much of an improvement over their older products is the PL-80330? That question's a bit tough to answer, as I don't work in the IT department at a Casino. But if they're running PL-10300's, which are based on AMD's Geode LX800 part, the PL-80330 is probably worth upgrading to when the older gaming machines start dropping dead.S|A

New Lifestyle App Puts Portions at the Forefront of Weight Loss(May 22, 2012)
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2012
Piatto, a free new diet iPhone App meaning Plate in Italian, is an innovative lifestyle tool that helps achieve healthy weight loss goals and influence smarter eating. Its the only free portion control app on the market to feature images of real food portions to highlight portion management rather than focusing on calorie counting. More effective than a calorie counter, Piatto offers a database of real food photos with additional tracking tools to help meet nutrition goals and live a healthier lifestyle.
Developed by an Italian team of physicians and medical software developers, Piatto appeals to visual portion control rather than tracking numbers and counting calories. To start, simply enter your age, eating habits and weight information. The apps unique software will then not only help you decide which foods to eat but also how much of it to eat and then tracks actual intake. Piatto also allows you to record exercise habits, upload new photos and track progress on its interactive dashboard. The dashboard visualizes your level of activity and eating choices to help track weight loss progress and further encourage healthier diet and lifestyle choices.
A 2010 weight loss study proves that by reducing food portions we also reduce the amount of calories, carbohydrates and fats we consume and simultaneously increase levels of physical activity. Please click here for a closer look at the study.
Piatto is free for a limited time and available to download at iTunes. Join Piatto on Twitter and Facebook!
