Mexican Politics, Economy, and Society, 1946–1982
Ryan Alexander
The years immediately following World War II constituted a watershed in Mexico's political development: the national government, controlled by the recently renamed Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and led by a new generation of civilian professional politicians, made rapid industrialization its top priority. In a matter of decades, the nation transformed from a predominantly rural to an ever more urbanized society. Significant social and cultural changes followed. The middle classes became the dominant voice in national politics and the beneficiaries of the government's economic policies, while earlier efforts designed to ameliorate the suffering of the majority were suspended or even reversed, leaving urban workers and the rural poor to wonder what had happened to their revolution. Gradually, a consumerist culture eclipsed the cultural revolution of the 1920s and 1930s. Despite official claims to the contrary, Mexico in this era shed its revolutionary identity and replaced it with a modernizing zeal.
Through the 1960s, scholarly assessments regarded the nation as a model of Third World development. In the estimation of foreign and domestic observers alike, the combination of aggressive capitalist development, state protectionism, and foreign investment had created an economic miracle, while the 1910 Revolution had produced a relatively benign, paternalistic form of "soft" authoritarianism. But in the years following the devastating massacre of students in 1968 at the Plaza de Tlatelolco just days before the Mexico City Summer Olympics, scholarly assessments soured. In the coming decades, more and more evidence of political violence, media manipulation, and official corruption would surface, leading to a crisis of political legitimacy that would be severely aggravated by economic crisis in 1982. For these reasons, the period from 1946 to 1982 is a distinct and important chapter in the nation's 20th-century development.
Mexico in Spain's Oceanic Empire, 1519–1821
Christoph Rosenmüller
On August 13, 1521, the conquistadors and their native allies seized Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec empire. The Spaniards succeeded because they had agreed with the Tlaxcalans and other indigenous self-governing communities (altepetl) to fight the Aztecs. After the conquest these communities continued their traditions, and the Spaniards replaced Aztec leadership with their own. The friars and the secular church converted the natives, and together with the crown they foiled the conquistadors' attempts to become liege lords with jurisdiction. The process culminated in the New Laws of 1542, which curbed the encomienda, a grant to a Spaniard that comprised several Indian towns paying him or her tribute. In its stead a society of corporations evolved, composed of town councils, lay brotherhoods of churches, and others, complete with their own laws and jurisdictions. Then a series of silver strikes beginning at Zacatecas in 1546 drew settlers into the region called the Bajío north of the former Aztec and Tarascan empires. The local natives resisted initially, and when peace came, they and the settlers created a dynamic early capitalist economy that invigorated other regions. The frontier expanded when animal herds moved further north beyond the mines, and the zone of Spanish influence grew to the south as well.
In 1540 Spanish conquistadors and their indigenous allies began seizing the northwestern Yucatan Peninsula, and they took Tiho/Mérida in 1542. The Yucatan, the Bajío, and the other regions that composed colonial Mexico successively integrated into a global commercial network spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia. The crown and the merchant guild (consulado) in Seville sought to capture the burgeoning Atlantic commerce within the fleet shuttling between Seville/Cadiz and Veracruz and restrict the silver flowing from Acapulco to Asia via the Philippines. Market forces defied most of the rules they put in place. Merchants from Asia settled in Manila; Peruvians docked in Acapulco; and the Dutch, French, and English competed with fleet merchants or operated contraband trade from the Caribbean islands to New Spain. In the 18th century, the crown found allies to loosen trade regulations within the empire and curb corporative autonomies. A series of audits (visitas) shook New Spain, and more compliant viceroys and officials appeared, while the friars lost over one hundred parishes (doctrinas) during the mid-century. The king expelled the Jesuits in 1767; registered ships sailing individually replaced the fleet in 1778; and in 1786 José de Gálvez introduced the intendants in New Spain. As the empire transitioned toward a territorial state, Napoleon imprisoned the Spanish king (1808). In 1810 Miguel Hidalgo and a popular following unleashed the War of Independence. As the conflict unfolded, the legitimacy of the old order crumbled, and the empire dissolved in 1821.
Mexico's Ministry of Communications and Public Works
Sonia Robles
The Ministry of Communications and Public Works, the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Obras Públicas, or SCOP, was a powerful institution that accompanied Mexico along important historic eras: the Porfiriato, or rule by Porfirio Díaz; the Mexican Revolution; the reconstruction decades of the 1920s and 1930s; World War II; and the subsequent decades of economic, demographic, and political growth. SCOP responded to global and political crises by helping defend and protect the nation in a unique way: by ensuring that Mexico had strong and stable buildings, rivers, causeways, etc. SCOP also unified Mexico from the inside, quite literary. Since 1861, when the Ministry was established, to 1958, when it dissolved and became the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes, progress was measured in the number of kilometers of paved roads and telegraph and telephone lines, in the number of bridges, damns, tunnels, canals, and radio stations in operation, as well as in the state of new or restored government offices, hospitals, post offices, telegraph buildings, schools, and other public structures it was commanded to construct.
The Ministry was responsible for constructing and maintaining a wide range of public services, from the telegraph to the drainage system, to canal and tunnel construction, to the management of ports and building government schools. Understanding its impact, then, requires bringing together the role that art, architecture, local and regional political forces, international events, and new advances in technology and mass communication had on Mexican society. In a more deliberate way than other government bodies, SCOP was in a perpetual state of revision and renewal; the word most frequently used to describe new and existing projects was transformation. Every action the Ministry took was intended to integrate and unify the nation, both symbolically and factually. SCOP leaders always looked to the future and worked to ensure that as a nation Mexico was well connected and prepared for what was to come.
The Middle Class in Argentina
Ezequiel Adamovsky
Since the mid-19th century, Argentine society has undergone significant demographic shifts. The expansion of capitalism and the growing complexity of the state apparatus increased the social importance of occupations that are usually considered to be part of the middle class, especially in the Pampas. There was a rapid increase in salaried labor and income distribution worsened significantly. A consumer society arose amid this climate and a good portion of the new trade opportunities rested in the hands of European immigrants, therein generating a complex panorama of both new and old forms of inequality. At the same time, various middle-class trades began to organize themselves in order to mobilize their specific demands. Nevertheless, they did not develop ties of solidarity between one another, nor a unified "middle class" identity. Such an identity would begin to form much later within the political sphere. Starting in 1919, politicians and intellectuals became concerned about the expansion of revolutionary ideas and labor activism, and in order to counteract this, they began to encourage pride in a middle class identity within the public sphere. The historical evidence suggests that from that time on, some members of the common people began to identify as middle class, thereby slowly transforming the perception of social difference that had up until that moment still been binary. A middle-class identity definitively took root after 1945 as a part of the political experience of the middle strata. Peronism, for its plebeian elements and for the social and symbolic space it granted the lower classes, posed a profound challenge to the concepts of hierarchy and respectability that had existed until then. This challenge paved the way for vast sectors to embrace a middle-class identity and to distinguish themselves from the pueblo peronista, as well as to assert their right to a central role within their country. In this context, the middle-class identity in Argentina assumed some characteristics unique to the region, weaving together narratives of nationhood that placed the middle class, the supposed descendants of European immigrants (the implication being "white"), in a place of preeminence as the champions of "civilization," and therein, as enemies of Peronism and the cabecitas negras, or the "little black heads," that supported him.
Paraguayan National Identity
Peter Lambert
Paraguay is a pluriethnic, plurilingual, and multicultural society, influenced by migration from the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, which contains many conflicting identities. Despite its heterogeneity, there are certain characteristics which have been seen by Paraguayan and foreign writers as having significant influence on national identity. These are primarily related to three factors: Paraguay's geographical position as a landlocked country, between two regional superpowers, and the resulting historical isolation; the prevalence of Guarani as the favored language of the vast majority of Paraguayans, and its relationship with Spanish; and the impact of international war and defense of its frontiers, primarily the Triple Alliance War (1864–1870), on Paraguay's economic, cultural, and political development, as well as on its self-perception.
However, Paraguay is also unusual in that following the catastrophe of the Triple Alliance War, there was a concerted effort by a group of intellectuals to challenge the liberal consensus and reinterpret the past to create a national history. This revisionist approach became increasingly influential until, after the Chaco War (1932–1936) and the end of the liberal period, it became the dominant "official" version. Here it subsequently remained through civil war, dictatorship, and finally transition to democracy. While many observers believed this hegemonic revisionist version would disappear with the end of the Stroessner regime in 1989, it has proved more resilient, flexible, and durable than expected, reflecting a high level of internalization of national identity. This in turn suggests that the official discourse was not purely an invention of tradition but was constructed on deeply held ideas of geographical, cultural, historical, and linguistic difference.
Public Health in Mexico, 1870–1943
Claudia Agostoni
The prevention of communicable diseases, the containment of epidemic disorders, and the design of programs and the implementation of public health policies went through important transformations in Mexico, as in other Latin American nations, between the final decades of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. During that period not only did the advances in medical science make possible the identification and containment of numerous contagious diseases; it was also a time when the consolidation of formal medical institutions and their interaction with both national and international actors contributed to shape the definitions and solutions of public health problems. Disease prevention strategies were influenced by medical, scientific, and technical innovations and by the political values and commitments of the period, and Mexico experienced profound and far-reaching political, economic, and social transformations: the apogee, crisis, and downfall of the long Porfirio Díaz regime (1876–1910), the armed phase of the Mexican Revolution (1910–1920), and the period of national reconstruction (1920–1940). Thus, during the period under consideration, and alongside the consolidation of an official medical apparatus as an integral part of public power, the promotion of public health became a crucial element to reinforce the political unification and the social and economic strength of the country.
The Public Sphere and Liberalism in Mexico: From the Mid-19th Century to the 1930s
Pablo A. Piccato
Free speech was a greater concern for Mexican politicians, legislators, and intellectuals during the 19th century than electoral democracy. This can be easily verified by looking at the large number of laws, decrees, trials, appeals, and polemics provoked by contradictory efforts to guarantee the right to express reasonable opinions, formulated since the 1812 Cádiz Constitution, and the concern to limit that freedom for the preservation of stability, morality, religion, and honor. Mexican public men spent considerably more energy reading and arguing about written words than counting votes. Yet the historiography of Mexican liberalism has, for the most part, stressed the history of frustrated attempts to expand representation and thus consolidate sovereignty. This article looks at the public sphere as a space for but also of contention. Politics, as was understood by most political agents of the time, took place in that virtual space, and a good part of political conflict revolved around the right to speak on behalf of public opinion. The broader arc to be described here starts with the contentious and romantic decades since the 1857 Constitution consecrated free speech and press juries and moves through the taming of the press using legal reforms and politically motivated prosecutions under Porfirio Díaz, to the consolidation of a new order in which a diverse and prosperous press struck an understanding with the post revolutionary regime to constrain the possibilities of political debate, around 1930.
Pulque: A Pre-Columbian Alcoholic Beverage of Mexico
David Yetman
Pulque, the alcoholic beverage of pre-Columbian highland Mesoamerica is the fermented derivative of aguamiel, the juice or sap of the agave known as agave pulquero—principally Agave salmiana. Aguamiel is a sweet, somewhat heavy juice that collects in a scraped out basin in the heart of the agave pulquero and, unless refrigerated, rapidly ferments into the alcoholic pulque. The agents of fermentation are ambient and plant-colonizing bacteria and yeasts. Fresh pulque is a frothy, cloudy brew with a slightly sour taste, usually containing around 2 percent alcohol or somewhat higher, meaning it can be drunk in large quantities without intoxicating the imbiber. Although it is a nutritious drink, consumption was condemned by Spaniards in varying degrees during the Colonial Period. Its popularity in contemporary southern Mexico is increasing after more than a century of persecution and public disparagement. Pulque figures prominently in pre- and post-Columbian Mesoamerican history.
Production of tequila and mezcal is completely different from production of pulque. The former are distilled from the pressed juice (tepache) of macerated and roasted hearts of certain agaves. The juice is fermented in vats for several days, then heated in a still, evaporated, and condensed. Tequila, by law is made from A. tequilana, and mezcal by custom is made primarily from A. angustifolia. Both these distillates contain about 40 percent alcohol. Pulque is a naturally occurring product consumed by native peoples for at least two millennia. Tequila and mezcal are industrial products derived from processes introduced into the Americas by Europeans.
The Social Construction of the Photographic Portrait in 19th-Century Rio de la Plata
Andrea Cuarterolo
With the arrival of the daguerreotype in Río de la Plata, in 1840, the photography industry was immediately monopolized by portrait photographers. By 1850 there were already more than ten daguerreotype photographers in both Buenos Aires and Montevideo, the two main cities on either side of the river. The majority were traveling foreigners, who frequently moved their studios between the two banks. Local society welcomed this new technology with enthusiasm and praised its representational perfection and its powerful verisimilitude. However, the high cost of the first daguerreotypes made portraiture an item of prestige and social differentiation, reserved only for those who were well-to-do. Far from the instantaneous photography of the early 21st century, daguerreotype portraits involved lengthy exposure times. This meant that they were highly staged, according to the attitudes, expectations, and motivations (conscious or unconscious), of the photographer, the subject, and the society in which these works were created. Through expertly arranged costumes, scenery, and poses, the bourgeoisie of Río de la Plata communicated and immortalized the prejudices, behaviors, and opinions specific to their class.
With the emergence of paper photography and the growth of standardized formats, such as the carte de visite, c. 1855, photography transcended class boundaries for the first time. In this period the portrait acquired a commemorative function associated with the consolidation of new genres, such as post-mortem portraits, wedding portraits, and First Communion portraits, pictures meant to immortalize important family events. During this time large photography studios appeared, with new and luxurious facilities, in which the photographic compositions would become much more sophisticated and theatrical.
For the local elite the decision to have their portraits taken was an act of expressing their identity; for certain social subjects, however, being photographed, invariably through the imposition of the operator, and with no agency in the representation of their own image, photography functioned as an instrument of privilege used to construct otherness. During this period the development of disciplines such as anthropology, criminology, and psychiatry, which sought to record and classify everything that did not conform with the normalized homogeneity of the time, made photography the ideal tool to identify those "others" for whom there was no space in respectable society or who fulfilled a negative role in it.
Social Movements in Late 20th-Century Ecuador and Bolivia
Marc Becker
Both Ecuador and Bolivia have gained a reputation for powerful social movements that have repeatedly challenged entrenched political and economic interests that have controlled the countries since their independence from Spain almost two hundred years ago. A wealthy and powerful minority of European descendant landowners ruled the countries to the exclusion of the majority population of impoverished Indigenous farm workers. Repeated well-organized challenges to exclusionary rule in the late 20th century shifted policies and opened political spaces for previously marginalized people. Social movement organizations also altered their language to meet new realities, including incorporating identities as ethnic groups and Indigenous nationalities to advance their agenda. Their efforts contributed to a significant leftward shift in political discourse that led to the election of presidents Evo Morales and Rafael Correa.

Joe Lando had to wear a wig again for this movie.
After announcing she was pregnant, and now set in 1877, it's disappointing there is no mention of Grace and Robert E.'s now 4-year-old child.
FLUB: Andrew mentions to Matthew that he wishes his parents were alive to attend his and Colleen's wedding, but in the 2001 movie The Heart Within, his parents are very well alive.
The show is canceled after six seasons, much to the dismay of the fans. CBS was flooded with thousands of letters, emails, faxes, and phone calls from angry viewers in protest of the cancellation, but CBS executives stood firm on their decision and did not renew the show for Fall 1998. CBS, however, agreed to two TV movies for the cast to film, one in 1999, and the other in 2001.
In this episode Dr. Mike & Daniel are encouraging Matthew to charge people for the law advice & services he provides. But Matthew says it isn't the same as Dr. Mike being a doctor because she passed a test to become a lawyer, but that "there's not a test to become a lawyer." My curiosity got the best of me and I decided to research the issue. I found that the College of William and Mary established the first chair of law in the US in 1779 and that the first bachelor of law was awarded there in 1793. Law was taught at the college until the Civil War when the school closed; it re-opened in 1920.
In addition, the University of Georgia School of Law opened just before the Civil War. So I am sure there was a law school operating in the U.S. in the early 1870's, which is when I estimate this episode took place since it was sometime in 1868 when the series started and this episode is near the end of the 6th season.

Here is a translation of Doña Verano on Saturday's episode. I am sure this will help in understanding Teresa's aunt's problems with Jake, especially when you consider that Teresa and her family, as well as many of the other Mexicans, were very proud, Catholic, people, and do not take changes to their traditions very lightly.
Jake - "Pleased to meet you."
Doña - "No es tu novio. Hasta que estemas de acuermos, que es tu novio."
(He is not your fiance. Until an agreement can be reached between us, then he will be your fiance.)
{In the Saloon}
Teresa - "Tia, Jake and Hank have worked very hard to make this place successful."
Doña - "¿Una hotel para borachos y prostitutas?"
(An hotel for drunks and prostitutes?)
"Primero dejaste a Guillermo que te llenara la cabeza de fantasias y cargar contigo hasta America. America!!" - with disgust
(First, you allow Guillermo to fill your head with fantasies of carrying you away to America. America!!)
Hank - "Sounds like she don't care too much for this side of the border."
Doña - "Ahora, apenas hace un año fallecio Guillermo y ya te quieras casar con uno de ellos."
(Now, it's scarcely one year after Guillermo's death, and already you want to marry one of them. - speaking of an American)
Teresa - "Tia, Jake es un hombre muy bueno."
(Tia, Jake is a very good man.)
Doña - "Y tu eres una niña muy tonta."
(And you are a very stupid child.)
{At the Café, after Jake spoke with the Reverend about being the only one doing the adjusting}
Jake - "Teresa, Doña Verano, Carlos. I really think we should consider havin' the Reverend to do the wedding."
Doña - "Ya vez que poco te respeta..."
(Now, do you see how little he respects you...) - speaking to Teresa
Jake - "Can you please speak in English?"
Doña - "I would be happy to speak in English to you, Señor......"
From there, everything else is spoken in English. I hope this has helped you understand the episode a little better. I know once I heard what Doña Verano had to say, I understood why she was reacting the way she did.
Notice as Brian reads the end of "A Christmas Carol", he is still turned to the front of the book.
CBS gives the show a two month break to introduce another western series, The Magnificent Seven, which lasted 2 very short seasons. Jane Seymour is very unhappy about being put on hold for another show to use the time slot that she has had for 6 years.
Alicia Hoge, the mother of the little boy, is Jason Leland Adam's wife.
When Joe Lando appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show the summer before this episode aired, he mentioned that he was offered to eat gummy worms for his scene where he ate worms from a log, but insisted on using live worms.
This is Michelle Bonilla's last appearance as Teresa Morales.

The piece played by Uncle Teddy in the church is Fantaisie-Impromptu in C#minor, Op. 66, by Chopin
1. Why would the Reverend need to mortgage the church for money when he had received a donation for the church from the Denver orphanage that he & Dr. Mike visited in the episode The Ice Man Cometh?
2. And I don't understand why the townspeople got so angry with the Reverend when they found out what he did and why they wouldn't pay him back they money he had loaned them. After all, also in The Ice Man Cometh, wasn't it the Reverend who had gotten the townspeople's money back from the con men?!

GOOF: As the townspeople come to stand behind Matthew during his confrontation with Zachary Brett, one shot shows a crowd of people coming towards him that includes the Reverend and Hank. Minutes later when Brian and Colleen come running up, the Reverend and Hank are arriving at the scene behind them.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, faced a strong backlash from challenger Joe Miller for her decision last week to denounce Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the wake of a leaked tape from 2005 in which Trump made vulgar comments about women.
"I cannot and will not support Donald Trump for president. He has forfeited the right to be our party's nominee," she said Friday.
Murkowski has never been among those Republicans backing Trump. In an interview she noted, "I've never endorsed the guy."

In the wake of the video's release, many Republicans immediately distanced themselves from Trump. However, after the initial spate of rescinded endorsements, a backlash developed by Republicans who feared that internecine feuding would spoil the party's chances for winning the White House.
On Tuesday, Miller slammed Murkowski for her comments.

"Presumably Murkowski's proclamation that she will not support Trump means she would prefer to see Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office," he said.
"Though it's now official, the truth is Lisa Murkowski left the Republican Party a long time ago," Miller added.

Miller had commented on Trump's language in the video in a statement posted on his Facebook page.
"As a husband and the father of four daughters, I found Donald Trump's comments about women reprehensible. I take him at his word that he is repentant. I am praying for him, his family, and our country," his post read.
Miller said that the most important issue is the future of the nation.
"A Hillary Clinton presidency would be a disaster for the country, keeping us on Barack Obama's road to ruin. If she wins, the Supreme Court will be lost for a generation," said Miller.

Murkowski on Saturday resigned her seat on the Alaska Republican Party's committee, which Miller said equate to Murkowski being "a Republican-In-Name-Only."
Miller recently attacked Murkowski for refusing to participate in a debate sponsored by Alaska TV station KTUU that is scheduled for Sunday night.
Miller said that other than one debate hosted by the Alaska Public Media Network, every other previously scheduled event is in front of a group with ties to Murkowski.
"The other three 'debates' are hosted by special interest groups that have strongly backed her in the past," Miller said.

Miller said Murkowski seeks to "avoid answering tough questions and deprive Alaskan voters of an informed choice."
In 2010, Miller defeated Murkowski in the GOP primary, but Murkowski won the general election.

Sports Minister Vijay Goel shocked as tainted bureaucrat Suresh Kalmadi appointed lifetime IOA President
Corruption-tainted Suresh Kalmadi and Abhay Chautala were made life presidents by the IOA.
In an outrageous decsion, former Congress leader Suresh Kalmadi has been appointed as the life president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA). The appointment of Kalmadi, who was one of the accused in the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam, has been criticised by none other than the sports minister of the country, Vijay Goel.
The IOA appointed another corruption-tainted official, Abhay Chautala, as its life president. According to a report in News18, sources in the IOA have claimed that the selections were made unanimously.
Reacting to the decisions, Sports Minister Vijay Goel expressed his astonishment at a hurriedly-called press conference. He said, "We are shocked at the resolution passed by the IOA to make Suresh Kalmadi and Abhay Singh Chautala as Life Presidents of IOA. This is totally unacceptable to us as both of them are facing serious corruption and criminal charges."
He also added, "In fact, IOA was suspended by the IOC when Chautala and Lalit Bhanot were elected office bearers of the IOA and the suspension was lifted only when the two were removed from the management."
Kalmadi has previously served as the IOA president from 1996 to 2011, a 15-year tenure. However, he was put behind bars following his alleged involvement in the corruption scandal of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games. He was later released from custody on bail after serving only 10 months of his sentence.
Chautala was appointed as the president of the IOA for a 14-month stint from December 2012 to February 2014. But under his presidency, the IOA was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after it came to light that the IOA was fielding charge-sheeted candidates in the elections.
Thereafter, Chautala's election as the IOA chief was annulled by the parent body. The IOC revoked the suspension later on, only after the IOA Constitution was amended to ensure that charge-sheeted candidates would no longer be fielded in the elections.
Goel said that the ministry has sought details from the IOA and will proceed to take proper measures after receiving a report from the IOA top brass. He said, "We have sought details (from the IOA) and on receipt of a complete report, we shall review the situation and take appropriate action. Our government is committed to good governance and transparency in sports."
"Sports is for the public good and sports governance is a public function. Therefore, it is governed by public law," the sports minister added.
"Nothing is bigger than the government. The government will see how and when there will be interference so that these people against whom criminal and corruption cases are pending are not associated with sports. We will take steps which are necessary."

Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand,
For I am drowning in a stormier sea
Than Simon on Thy lake of Galilee:
The wine of life is spilt upon the sand,
My heart is as some famine-murdered land
Whence all good things have perished utterly,
And well I know my soul in Hell must lie
If I this night before God's throne should stand.
'He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase,
Like Baal, when his prophets howled that name
From morn to noon on Carmel's smitten height.'
Nay, peace, I shall behold, before the night,
The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame,
The wounded hands, the weary human face.

Unrivalled 20 year warranty positions GENERSYS as the UKs leading solar panel brand.
An independent analysis of the domestic uptake of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (Phase 1a) positions GENERSYS as the UK's leading solar panel manufacturer. Funded by the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC), the Lower Carbon Futures (LCF) team of the Environmental Change Institute of the University of Oxford have produced an analysis of the domestic stream of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (Phase 1a) data, and to what extent the LCBP has met its aims over the first two years. The five main types of microregeneration are compared and each analysed.50 different manufacturers are listed of which were used in only one system, whereas the three most popular brands Genersys Plc, Schott (Rayotec) and Thermomax were used in 300500 systems each.-page 26, Power from the PeopleIt is important to note that Schott no longer manufacture the 'vacuum tubes' used in this comparison. GENERSYS solar panels remain the choice of installers around the world and we welcome this recent study to confirm that in England too, GENERSYS are the installers' choice.More information about grants and policies that may effect you can be found on our CEO's blog, Ideas for the environment.

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Monday that the team used their transition tag on linebacker Jason Worilds.
On Tuesday, Worilds signed his transition tag offer of $9.754 million, according to several media reports.
Signing the tag means Worilds can't consider offers from other teams.
Jason Worilds has signed his transition tag w/PIT worth $9.75M. No offer sheets can come now. He was a primary target for the Eagles …
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 4, 2014
Worilds and the Steelers will now work on a long-term deal that is cap-friendly since the team is around $15 million over the $134.55 million salary cap.
Worilds, 25, was originally drafted by the Steelers in the second round (52nd overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft out of Virginia Tech. Last season Worilds set career highs in starts (11), tackles (54), sacks (8) and forced fumbles (2).

Memory Trace
Artist Statement
In my series "Memory Trace", I draw from personal objects of my everyday world that hold special meaning and memories. I construct new contexts for these everyday-objects to inhabit, intermingled with drawings of family members. Removing objects from their normal construct and connecting them with unrelated elements, discovering similar patterns between objects and their relationship to each other is of interest to me.
Through a process of drawing, editing and refining, objects are fragmented and abstracted into smaller components. I create an invented language of hybrid shapes and patterns. Tangled networks flow across the page in a mosaic-like wave, as if part of a stream of consciousness. I work on paper employing drawing techniques incorporating inks, pencil and graphite powder. I apply ink washes in strong contrasts between light and dark. Shadows and silhouettes impart a sense of mood and mystery to the spatial atmosphere.
I animate these personal objects from my everyday world with family ancestors to express a fleeting moment, a memory trace.

Reliever Turk Wendell was fined $1,250 by Major League Baseball, which said he intentionally threw behind the St. Louis Cardinals' Mike Matheny last Saturday. Wendell, who was ejected from the game, maintained that he did not throw at Matheny on purpose and said he would appeal the fine to Frank Robinson, baseball's vice president for on-field operations.
''He can't read my mind,'' Wendell said.
Manager Bobby Valentine, who was ejected last Saturday, was also fined and will appeal. Valentine was fined less than Wendell but more than the typical fine for a manager's ejection, which is $500 to $1,000.
Valentine said he was told that he was spotted in the dugout after being ejected, leading to the higher fine. Valentine said he went back to the clubhouse after being ejected and did not reappear in the dugout until the last batter of the game.
''My eyes could never have seen the field,'' he said, ''so I don't know how the field could have seen me.''
Valentine, who also noted that Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox did not immediately leave the dugout when he was ejected in a game at Shea on April 9, has been irritated with the commissioner's office since early April.
Valentine said he was insulted when Tsuyoshi Shinjo was ordered to immediately change the covering on his elbow guard while the rest of the league was given weeks to make the change.Continue reading the main story
''I don't get the whole thing, what's going on here with the office,'' Valentine said. ''Maybe we're being penalized because we're right here in New York, you know? Maybe because we're ever-present. I don't get this.''
General Manager Steve Phillips said he did not believe the Mets were being penalized for playing in New York. ''I think it's probably more circumstances than location,'' he said.
Mike Piazza, who was ejected from last Sunday's game, received a fine of $100, which he said he considered appropriate.Continue reading the main story

Re: What exactly are the GOP obstructing?
Have you forgotten that Mitch McConnell stated that his biggest goal is to make Obama a one-termer? I thought you had. So for him, making Obama look bad is more important that the ecomony, the deficit, fighting terrorism, and healthcare. That, my friend, is the DEFINITION of obstruction. And if you don't think Boner and most of the rest of the GOP in both houses feel the same thing, you are extremely naive. Then again, you probably still think Obama is not a US citizen and that Saddam Husein was behind the 911 attacks.
60K jobs in May...previous two months estimates revised downward..both well under 90K jobs...what more does anyone want to show they don't know what they are doing....over 3 years on the job and can't come up with programs to right the ship.....i know, i know, Bush's fault......keep saying ti, cause no one truly believes it...for 18 months ..ok,, but if a progam can't be put together to get us on the right track, just shows never should have been elected......
The GOP acting as an obstructionist party, even voting against their own ideas, isn't helping anything. Of course, the GOP pissing and moaning over something they caused is hypocritical on multiple levels. Besides, they could take their own advice:
However, it's certainly true that Obama hasn't performed well on economic matters. Things are remotely better, but only remotely.
This demonstrates (again) for the umpteenth time, that trickle down does not work in the United States. When Joe 6 Pack has more money in his pocket then the economy will recover.
Here's a lofty idea...give Joe a pay rise. Who knows...it might just work. We've tried everything else short of fucking poor people with broken broom handles, why not give it a shot?
This is the biggest crock. Obama had two years of free sailing which he used to push through the stimulus and his healthcare. What grand policies does Obama wish to employ now that he couldn't employ two years ago? Obama will now use class warfare and talk about tax increases specifically because he knows it would be DOA and he can create another BS issue. It's the equivelent of two kids talking tough in the school yard because they know the fight will be broken up before it starts. Obama is nothing but a shit-talker who is absolutley out of ideas. Why would anyone vote for 4 more years of this? Does anybody really think he has anything new to offer?
PS- The 1st QTR GDP was revised DOWN to 1.9%. THINGS ARE NOT BETTER!!!
...that Obama fucked up on the domestic front. He spent most of those two years working on health care. He could have just passed H.R. 676, and passed single payer for all, and done this in a few weeks. Instead he let the GOP have more say in the bill then they had seats in Congress.
Making thigs worse, he appointed the jackasses who bare a lot of responsibility in fucking up the economy in the first place. Is it any wonder why things are still screwed up with Geitner and Summers?
But things are better. When Obama came into office, we were losing 70,000 jobs a month and the entire economy was in free fall. That's no longer the case. Obama deserves some credit for this, due to the stimulus. However, the Fed deserves just as much credit, if not more.
Of course, the down side is that the Fed is acting to just reinflate the bubble.
What we haven't done is make sure Joe 6 Pack has more money in his pocket. Obama hasn't done it, and Millard certainly wouldn't do it. Hell, Millard wants to raise Joe's taxes in order to give rich fucks more tax cuts.
They have set out to stop everything that the President proposed, whether it is in the best interest of the country or not. Even proposals that were originally GOP ideas, they oppose when the President back them.
The GOP has decided that opposing anything the President wants is the first priority, and doing whats best for the country is not a priority.
Every GOP elected official should be impeached for nonfeasance!
is the debt that our government has rung up in the last three years.
Yes, some Republicans are guilty of stonewalling. Just like some Democrats were when President Bush or other Republicans were in the White House.
Demanding that every GOP official should be impeached (I love how the word "impeached" is tossed around so freely these days) is about as irresponsible as what you are accusing the Republicans of doing.
Have you forgotten that Mitch McConnell stated that his biggest goal is to make Obama a one-termer? I thought you had. So for him, making Obama look bad is more important that the ecomony, the deficit, fighting terrorism, and healthcare. That, my friend, is the DEFINITION of obstruction.

You don't know what they are "obstructing" because he has zero ideas. All he does is blame and you follow like mindless sheep.
Kudos for bringing up Hussein. LOL!!!

Welcome to the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. Stay close.
If you ended up here instead of passing through, you'd find it's not the urine-soaked sidewalks that get you down. Not the hoarding nickels nor the shitty food. It's the invisibility that burrows under your skin — the constant affirmation that you aren't a person, not quite. Pedestrians see you, but they look away. To society you're detritus, leftover human, extra meat. Useless and unwanted. People slide their eyes right over you, like you're greased with shit. Embarrassed even to see you.
People walking to work. Hey, have a great day! See them scurry? Clutching their bags and purses closer to their bodies, averting their gaze. Ducking their heads so they don't have to acknowledge us. Upper lips drawing up in disgust at our stench. I guess they can smell us with their eyes, too, because those looks cross their faces even when they're far away. Sometimes I make it a game — how many girls with headphones can I fuck with today? Will they pretend not to see me? Smile tightly? Give me a withering look of disdain?
You lose time here. Without clocks or seasons, "now" becomes a bubble. You need to find somewhere to sleep, to rest your head and your limited possessions until you stumble, unsteady out to face the world again. Never in a space you can call your own. All we have that's truly ours are our thoughts.
Since the gates to respectability are barred to us, we go through other motions, find other things to spin our wheels and occupy our minds and bodies. Don't get me wrong — most of us don't give two shits about respectability. But it fucks with your head, being denied access to a fundamental element of civilization.
It's like those fucking volunteers at the food bank. I hate how the middle-class white people call it a "soup kitchen." You don't need to be white to be white, neither, don't mistake. White people come in all colors. The volunteers, though, they're terrified of us. They watch our every move like we're about to snap any minute, like we're slavering rabid animals infested with diseases and our life's mission is to give them AIDS. They still call HIV "AIDS", too, still don't know the difference, even though they donate money to community needle exchanges and pray for the poor and unsheltered before climbing into their warm, soft bed.
I know they pray for us because they tell us so, patting your back or arm as they gently move you forward in line, remind you to shuffle your feet just a bit, please, thank you, God bless I'm praying for you. You can't shout back into their face, Keep your goddamned hypocritical bullshit prayers to yourself! They pull you out of line and won't let you back until the next day.
See how the kings of the world, up in their bitty apartment-boxes, throw away their barely-nibbled sandwiches, their old granola bars, the half-full bottles of merlot. Taste how sweet vinegared wine can be when you haven't eaten. Feel how quickly it goes to your head and wakes up your growling desire for stale burger remnants, gummy with dried ketchup. Watch the ground rise up to meet you as you miscalculate the steps.
Drunk enough to forget what you do in exchange for that hot meal.
Your ideas of right-and-wrong waver and break. What does being a thief mean when money is a fleeting illusion? What does law mean when you're not part of society? We live outside of it all and so our decisions take on a new moral weight. Will we hurt today? Will we be hurt? Is this a battle or a stand-off or a bluff? Like a stray dog, you learn to read people. Once you lose your shame, looking into people's eyes is easy and eyes tell you much more than words will.
Sometimes I feel old and tall like a tree growing in the Tenderloin, watching the world move by. Fruit flies buzz around me, tiny chirping squirrels and doves materialize into men in sweaters marching past.
In the Tenderloin, indignity by indignity, you relearn how to live. Your deep muscles harden into armor. You sleep rigid, sweating-cold, on the edges of monuments and park benches and doorways. You find peace in different drugs down here — shit that takes you up jagged and drops you down hard. At least you sleep.
You find money panhandling or begging or those tiny jobs you can find through the agencies sometimes or dumb luck. Find food, find booze. If you pick up every penny you see for a week, you'll probably have enough for a decent cup of coffee, or two cups of the crappy stuff.
See those two men, there? One is on the phone and the other is on drugs and they don't exist in each other's realities. These streets are a zoo.
It's just you and me and everyone else under these city stars, son. Drink your coffee, it's getting cold.

When Ralph Reed, the charismatic and savvy former leader of the Christian Coalition, announced he was running for chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, it sent shock waves across the GOP.
Some Republicans saw it as the dawning of a new era for the their party. With the experienced fund-raiser and political operative at its helm, the GOP may finally be able to take over the governor's mansion and the state house.
Others saw it as a dangerous leap to the right for the party. At a time when the Republicans need to be reaching out to moderates, Reed's brand of moral politics may scare swing voters off for good.
With so much politicking and pandering going on before last weekend's state convention and election, it was difficult to judge which opinion was closer to reality. After all, it's possible moderate Republicans were just paranoid about Reed's evangelical influence. On the other hand, conservative Republicans may be hoping Reed's presence gives them more prominence in the party.
But, when our own congressman, Rep. John Linder, R-11th, publicly stated that Ralph Reed was too conservative for the Georgia Republican Party, we sat up and listened.
''He brings the image of the Christian right, which is part of my base,'' Linder was quoted as saying. ''But, that's just the wrong face for our party right now.''
No one has ever accused Linder of being liberal. He is generally considered a sure-footed fiscal and social conservative who rarely, if ever, diverges from the Republican Party. So, if Linder thinks Reed is too conservative for the GOP, then maybe there is something to the moderate Republicans' paranoia.
Reed has been the golden boy for religious conservatives in America. With a massive fund-raising network, grass roots organizing and adeptness with the media, Reed turned the Christian Coalition into a powerful force in American politics.
Before his election Saturday, Reed promised to be a unifying force in the Republican Party bringing together all factions.
''I will be chairman of all Republicans -- people who are interested in economic issues as well as those interested in social issues; people who tend to be more moderate as well as conservatives,'' he said.
In the past, he has shied away from the label of being a part of the religious right preferring instead to just be on the right. As much as he may wish otherwise, Reed is still associated with the Christian Coalition by many Republicans who feel uncomfortable by his history of political morality. In the world of politics, perception is reality. If Reed wants to attract moderates and swing voters to the GOP, he will have to complete the difficult task of shedding his old image and adopting one that is genuinely accepting of less conservative ideas.
It remains to be seen just how divided the Republican Party is over Reed's election. But, with redistricting coming up this year and gubernatorial and legislative elections on the horizon, Reed won't have much time to prove that his vow of inclusiveness is more than just a campaign slogan.

I started making a hub before I knew what I was doing. I thought it was like each person was making a website, and that one article could link to the next one, but then found out I was not at all aware of the concept. It seems to me that hubpages is more like a shopping mall, with each person having a hub, which is equal to a "store" where they can keep all their articles, links, friends, etc. Also, it seems if each "hubber" buys products from within hubpages, not from outside sources, it would have a huge long-range effect on global economy, as eventually, all people would be buying from
sort by best latest
Interesting perspective you have. I agree on a very limited basis. We support each other but just not in a sense of "shopping". We really support each other in everything.
The other sites you will note are limited in their training. One site just opened up a training center very similar to Hub Pages.
Additionally, the technical support with HubPages is outstanding - writing to firstname.lastname@example.com is always very responsive. The capsules are simple to navigate and allow a professional looking Hub to be created in no time. Copying a "master format" with the capsules you always use such as a news capsule at the end after comment along with a links capsule can simplify the process and allow the writer to concentrate upon the writing.
Oh, and the photos are another method HubPages is better - your photos are stored.
The forums offer a world of help complete with a specialized forum just for critiques.
The benefits of HubPages have it poised to be a site that even Google is envious of. If you compare page rank among the other sites, you will see for content, HubPages adhere to high standards of quality.
HubPages is better than pen pals and for me has proven to be the best business partner. It is a money maker IF you wish. It is a site with lasting friendships, it is a training vehicle for promoting yourself and your website on the Internet. It is not really free, the time commitment is demanding.
Persistence pays.

In my opinion HubPages is not true 'blogging', it is a publishing site. Blogs are sites that you update on a regular basis but Hubpages is a platform for publishing separate articles that can 'stand alone' or be linked together so that they become a series.
I also agree with the info in GmaGoldie's reply :-)
HubPage is the best Publishing site that I have found.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I agree with agvulpes. HubPages is an article publishing site, not a blogging site. Unfortunately a lot of folks abouse it for advertising or other purposes, but its original intention is as a place for freelance writers to share articles. I do not recommend blogging on this site. It degrades the reputation of the site. If blogging is what you want to do, I suggest using Blogger or Wordpress.

The Amity Affliction have released a brand new track Shine On, available digitally now. Vocalist Joel Birch told triple j, "We wrote it on Warped Tour and recorded a very, very rough demo in the back of the bus. We had [producer] Will Putney, the same guy that did Let The Ocean Take Me, come out [and] spent five days in the studio doing pre-production and then fixing it up and tightening the song." Shine On is the first new music Amity have released since Let the Ocean Take Me debuted at #1 on the ARIA album chart in June 2014. The release comes just weeks ahead of December's Big Ass Tour where they'll take the stage with A Day To Remember, Motionless In White and The Ghost InsideCatch the Big Ass Tour at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday December 17.
The first Royal Funk event happened in June, in celebration of Prince's birthday. It was intended as a one-off, but the audience and performers had such a blast the organisers have decided to turn it into a regular mini-festival. So on Sunday December 6, Shadow Electric in Abbotsford will host the Royal Funk Festival: Summer Edition. Mondegreen and Cocoa Noire will join house band Lake Minnetonka in bringing the live funk, while DJs Chelsea Wilson and MzRizk will take us back to that '80s sound we know and love. Doors at 5pm, band kicks off at 6pm. Guest vocalists joining Lake Minnetonka on the night include Allysha Joy, Chelsea Wilson and Henry Manetta, with more surprises to come. Doors open at 5pm, and the live funk kicks off from 6pm.
Katatonia have confirmed details of their new band new member drummer Daniel 'Mojjo' Moilanen. Vocalist Jonas Renkse says, "We first met Mojjo back in 2009 where his band at the time, Engel, had joined up with us and Paradise Lost on a UK tour and we soon realised we shared the same musical background and ideals. We stayed in touch over the years and when Daniel Liljekvist quit Katatonia in 2014 we decided to give Mojjo a call. He has now been with us for well over a year, so far only as a live member, but now is the time for him to join the Katatonia album cycle and most importantly make his own impression on our new material." Katatonia are working at Stockholm's Studio Gröndahl with engineer Karl Daniel Lidén on their tenth album, due in 2016 on Peaceville Records.

Scots feature on Queen's Birthday Honours list
HISTORIAN Tom Devine and Torchwood star John Barrowman were among Scots recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
Professor Devine, 68, director of the Scottish Centre for Diaspora Studies at the University of Edinburgh, is one of two Scots knighted. He retired after a four-decade career.
He is joined by Ewan Brown, chairman of Scottish Financial Enterprise and a senior governor at the University of St Andrews, for services to business, public life and philanthropy.
It is one of the proudest things, thus far, that has happened to me
John Barrowman, 47, was honoured for his services to entertainment and contribution to charity.
He said: "It is one of the proudest things, thus far, that has happened to me. I never expected to get an honour like this. You hear about other people getting them but never expect it yourself."
Speaking from Sydney Australia, where he is promoting his series, Arrow, he said he would be having a small celebration now he could go public with the honour after admitting "it was the hardest thing to keep quiet".
"I'm going to crack open a bottle of champagne with the people who are out in Sydney with me," Barrowman said. Edinburgh Fringe boss Kath Mainland receives a CBE, while Jam entrepreneur Fraser Doherty 24, who hit the headlines at the age of 14, when he set up SuperJam using his grandmother's recipes, has been awarded an MBE.
The triple Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti, 41, was awarded an MBE for services to motor racing. The racer, from Bathgate, West Lothian, has won the Indy Car Series four times.

Trade group survey to measure 'on-shoring' in electronics
8 comments
SAN FRANCISCOIPC, a global trade group that represents printed circuit board manufacturers and other electronics firms, launched a survey Thursday (May 3) to measure the impact of "on-shoring"the migration of electronics manufacturing operations back to the U.S. from overseas.
IPC (Bannockburn, Ill.) said the survey would compile data to quantify on-shoring in terms of both location of operations and sourcing. Companies and suppliers in the electronics manufacturing industry based in the Americas can participate in the survey on IPC's website through May 25, the trade group said.
Electronics firms have for years been shifting manufacturing operations to emerging economies in Asia and elsewhere where wages are lower and labor laws less rigorous. In recent years, some companies have returned manufacturing to the U.S., saying that logistics difficulties and other issues make it more cost effective to build their products in the U.S. But while there is anecdotal evidence of the trend of returning manufacturing jobs to the U.S., no hard numbers exist to suggest that those returning jobs outpace the flood of continued manufacturing migration off shore.
But IPC maintains that it put data behind the anecdotes four years ago with a survey that confirmed some limited on-shoring was indeed taking place in North America. Since then, drivers of the supposed trend, including rising labor costs in China, hidden costs of overseas manufacturing and technology developers' need to protect their intellectual property, have been gaining momentum, according to IPC.
IPC said its new study looks at on-shoring from three perspectives: electronics manufacturing operations moving back to the Americas, new operations that companies choose to build in the Americas, and whether electronics companies are changing suppliers in order to source more materials from their home region.
The study is designed to measure the changes that have taken place since 2008, identify where and in what product segments on-shoring is occurring and explain why on-shoring is occurring, IPC said. The study is also designed to quantify the impact on revenue and jobs in the Americas and assess the current business environment as well as the future outlook of on-shoring, the trade group said.
IPC plans to publish the results of the new survey in June.
The offshoring of technology jobs has been an ongoing concern of EE Times and its readers for years. Over the past few months, EE Times has published several articles on the topic in an ongoing series entitled, "Rebuilding America." Most recently, EE Times reported in March on a panel discussion at the Design West conference that attempted to tackle the question of how innovation could continue in order for the U.S. amid the migration of technology manufacturing jobs to elsewhere in the world.
