The mission of the Division of Enrollment Management and Marketing (EM&M) is to improve and enhance DePaul University's competitive market position and prominence in order to increase DePaul's capacity to achieve strategic goals in a manner consistent with DePaul's Catholic, urban and Vincentian character.
Improving DePaul's market position focuses particularly on the university's competitive posture and presence among college-bound students. DePaul's market prominence emphasizes the strategic value of improving the visibility and reputation of the university and its programs. These goals require the integrated efforts of a wider array of functions than simply student recruitment; they also call for integrating functions such as institutional marketing, community outreach and employer relations.
The scope of EM&M at DePaul differs from the traditional structure found in higher education. In fact, the evolution of DePaul's enrollment management model has attracted attention as one of the most integrated, innovative approaches, and has been recognized nationally as a "best practice."
EM&M carries out its mission through the following strategic groups:
Admission and Financial Aid
Admission and Financial Aid have the primary responsibility for achieving university enrollment goals.
University Marketing
The areas of University Marketing Strategy and University Marketing Communications bring an integrated marketing perspective to the core communication activities at DePaul.
Career and Money Management
Career and Money Management gives students the opportunity to gain skills and connections that are necessary to define a career path, manage their money and find gainful and rewarding employment both during their college years and after graduation. These services also enhance institutional prominence by establishing connections with top employers.
Center for Access and Attainment
The Center for Access and Attainment serves as a focal point for dialogue, strategy and action concerning college access and attainment, consistent with DePaul's vision to exceed national norms in recruiting, retaining and graduating a diverse student body, with an emphasis on first-generation and low-income students in the Chicago area.
Student Records, Systems and Services
The areas of Student Records and Enrollment Systems & Operations provide information management that is central to many activities within the division, as well as services that assist students with the core administrative details of their education at DePaul, such as registering for courses.
Institutional Research & Market Analytics
The area of Institutional Research & Market Analytics provides information for university planning and management and manage the data infrastructure for decision and planning support.
Division Planning and Management
As the main support area for the senior vice president, Division Planning and Management supports divisionwide strategic initiatives and leads projects and communications for the more than 250 employees within the division.

From the President: We're on the Move
By Kevin Sears
I believe many of us didn't choose this profession lightly. We contemplated how we would achieve success in it. We explored whether our personality was right for it. We reflected on how we make a career of it. Then, we educated ourselves and received our license. But even then, we took a step further and joined this organization. We took our profession seriously enough to commit wholeheartedly to it by becoming a Realtor®.
I know I did all of the above and have never been more proud to be a Realtor® than today. Why? Because those of us who have survived and even thrived the past couple of years, have motivated ourselves, educated
ourselves, and embraced the Realtor® Association to help us move and keep moving in a positive, successful direction.
And because of this drive and motivation to move forward your Association has the motivation to move forward with you, to provide you with the tools you need to keep overcoming the roadblocks and hurdles before us. I see opportunities for us into 2010 and together with your Leadership Team I will help bring them before you.
Through the Member Outreach PAG, formed under 2009 President Gary Rogers, characters who resemble (in spirit) a newer Realtor®, a broker,
and a seasoned professional were created to remind you of the services and value items the Association has to offer that are relevant to you and where you are in your career. See what they have to say in this issue's feature on page 16 and welcome them.
Look to them throughout the year for information on education and member services that you can use to save you money, help you gain new business, and get ahead. They'll remind you how your membership dues and investment in RPAC brings success to our grassroots lobbying efforts and
legislative efforts for the real estate industry and private property rights. Understanding and using these valuable services and tools can help you work through the current market conditions.
Keep your eyes out for continued classes and webinars on relevant topics such as Loss Mitigation, Homebuyer Tax Credit, and Social Media in 2010 that can boost your professionalism in the industry. Education is an important part of staying successful in this industry and your Association recognizes that fact.
Also, reap the benefits of your Association's many communications vehicles to stay on top of current trends, legislation and statistics that impact your business. NAR, MAR, and your local association communicate information that will help you be in touch with your industry, speak out when needed on relevant issues, and stay focused on current trends.
This year's Board of Directors, including the Regional VPs, Focus Area VP, and Leadership Team of Secretary/Treasurer Trisha McCarthy, President-Elect Laurie Cadigan, Past President Gary Rogers, and CEO Robert Authier are dedicated to helping you move in the right direction in 2010 and reaffirming your decision to work in this profession, join the Realtor® Association, and accomplish the goals you set for yourself.

UPDATE: apologies, United Nude founder Rem D Koolhaas, also an architect, is in fact the nephew of Rem Koolhaas of OMA (thnx Dory ; )
Dutch architect Rem D Koolhaas broke into the world of fashion in 2003 as a result of a failing relationship … from the site "This story begins with a broken heart. Rem's attempt to get the girl back was made by downsizing architecture to its smallest and most vulnerable scale, that of a woman's foot. While most romantic notions are often foolish, what was hatched through the inspiration of romance was the 'Möbius' shoe. The girl was gone, but he knew the shoe had to become real."

find a way to show me
as soon as i think i know
then i remember
that i don't…
you're already there
don't forget
who you are
i won't turn anything on
or off
can i just be me?
can't you try to keep your soul
and fill your heart
but not take mine?
you mean let the ground speak
through my feet?
you're irresistible to me
in ways that i cannot tell
find a way
to show me

SENECA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Two fishermen are rescued from Cayuga Lake.
According to the Seneca County Sheriff's Office, three men were in a small canoe that capsized just after two Saturday morning.
One of the men was able to swim to shore and get help. The other two were clinging to the boat as it drifted along the current until they were rescued by a bystander in a row boat.
One of the men, Todd Belanger, 33, of Washington, DC, was taken to Geneva General Hospital with symptoms of hypothermia.
The other two men were treated at the scene and released.

Jake Shields vs. Demian Maia Set for UFC Fight Night in October
Arguably, the welterweight division's most accomplished grapplers, Jake Shields and Demian Maia are now confirmed to face each other at a UFC Fight Night event on Fox Sports 1 in October.
Talk of a match between the two has been circulating for some time now, and last month, it was reported that the two had verbally agreed to a bout. However, no date was set—until now—according to Guilherme Cruz of MMA Fighting.
The event has no city or venue yet but was confirmed by Shields' trainer, Cesar Gracie.
"From my understanding, that's Jake's next fight," he told MMA Fighting.
Both Maia and Shields are former middleweights who have been flitting between weight divisions with limited success.
Maia dropped down to the 170-pound division after a loss to future champion Chris Weidman in 2012 and has since gone on a tear, walking through three opponents at welterweight including Rick Story and Jon Fitch.
Shields, meanwhilw, perhaps due to a lack of exercise equipment, has yet to recapture the form that saw him win the Strikeforce 185-pound belt in the UFC. After a loss in a title fight to Georges St-Pierre and an embarrassing 53-second KO at the hands of Jake Ellenberger, he fought once more at welterweight before returning to middleweight.
However, after defeating Ed Herman in a languid three-round decision, the bout was overturned into a no-contest, and Shields has since returned to welterweight.
He beat Tyron Woodley, just barely, in his last outing and will be hoping a win against the highly touted Maia will get him back in the reckoning.

The menu was full of fried snack stuff, so do not expect any freshly prepared home style food. The point is this is a place where the majority are not for a dinner but to socialize and enjoy beers and ciders. A typical irish pub one can find anywhere in the world: friendly and laid back
A real Irish welcome, lovely pub, great selection of beers. cant wait to visit again. Thanks Claire and Mark.

He served as Minister of Justice in 1848 - 1849 and then Minister of the Interior from 1849 to 1859. As a well-known Liberal lawyer, he was first called a "minister of barricades". However, he gradually accepted Conservative views.
After the death of Felix, Prince Schwarzenberg in 1852, he largely dictated policy in Austria and Hungary. Bach centralised administrative authority for the Austrian Empire, but he also endorsed reactionary policies that reduced freedom of the press and abandoned public trials. He represented later the Absolutist (or Klerikalabsolutist) direction, which culminated in the concordat of August 1855 that gave the Roman Catholic Church control over education and family life.
On the other hand the economic freedom rose greatly in 1850s. The internal customs duties were abolished.
Bach was created Baron (Freiherr) in 1854. He was also the guardian of Science Academy (Akademie der Wissenschaften) in 1849 - 1859.
Prisons were full of political prisoners; during his administration, Czech nationalist Karel Havlíček Borovský was expatriated to Brixen (1851 - 1855).
The pillars of so-called Bach system (Bachsches System) were, in the words of Adolf Fischhof, four "armies": a standing army of soldiers, a sitting army of office holders, a kneeling army of priests and a fawning army of sneaks.
His fall in 1859 was highly caused by the failure in Italian war against Kingdom of Sardinia and Napoleon III. Bach served as Ambassador to the Holy See in 1859-1867. He died secluded, in 1893.

in response to PleasantValley:
scporch, does it say if that $180,000 is in profit or just costs? If they are paying $180,000 in costs and make $180,000 in revenue they are breaking even. Then shut them down and they lose the $180,000 in revenue - they have actually lost money. Point being, if you don't know costs that go along with the revenue there is no way of knowing if the airport is profitable and if so - how much.
I hope you're right, because during the air show, the airport will be "shut down" for 16 hours which equates to $640,000 based on McNamee's estimate. Don't get me wrong, I support the airshow and the enjoyment it brings to all, I just question hypothetical statements that are made with little factual justification. And according to the original estimate of economic impact, we're looking at a possible loss of more than $500,000. Unless, of course, the airport is getting a sizable take on the admission price and on sales derived by the exhibitors and food stands.

L'Osservatore Romano
The 7 February 2008 Italian-language
front page of L'Osservatore Romano |
Type | Daily newspaper in Italian Weekly newspaper in other languages |
Format | Broadsheet |
Owner | The Holy See |
Editor | Giovanni Maria Vian |
Founded | July 1, 1861 (152 years old) |
Political alignment | Roman Catholic Church |
Headquarters | Tipografia Vaticana Vatican City |
Official website | osservatoreromano.va |
L'Osservatore Romano (English: The Roman Observer) is the "semi-official"[1] newspaper of the Holy See. It covers all the Pope's public activities, publishes editorials by important churchmen, and runs official documents after being released. The publication prints two Latin mottoes under the masthead of each edition: Unicuique suum ("To each his own") and Non praevalebunt ("[The gates of Hell] shall not prevail").[2] The current editor-in-chief is Giovanni Maria Vian.
Today, the paper takes a more objective and subdued stance than at the time of its foundation, priding itself in "presenting the genuine face of the church and the ideals of freedom", following the statement by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone in an October 2006 speech inaugurating a new exhibit dedicated to the founding and history of the newspaper.[3] He further described the publication as "an instrument for spreading the teachings of the successor of Peter and for information about church events".[3]
L'Osservatore Romano is published in nine different languages (listed by date of first publication):[4]
- Daily and weekly in Italian (1861/1950)
- Weekly in French (1949)
- Weekly in English (1968)
- Weekly in Spanish (1969)
- Weekly in Portuguese (1970)
- Weekly in German (1971)
- Monthly in Polish (1980)
- Weekly in Malayalam (2007)[5]
The daily Italian edition of L'Osservatore Romano is published in the afternoon, but with a cover date of the following day, a convention that sometimes results in confusion.[1] The weekly English edition is distributed in more than 129 countries, including both English-speaking countries and locales where English is used as the general means of communication.[4]
19th century[edit]
The first issue of L'Osservatore Romano was published in Rome on 1 July 1861, a few months after the Kingdom of Italy was proclaimed on 17 March 1861.[4] The original intent of the newspaper was unabashedly polemical and propagandistic in defence of the Papal States, adopting the name of a private pamphlet financed by a French Catholic legitimist group.[4] The 18 September 1860 defeat of papal troops at Castelfidardo substantially reduced the temporal power of the Pope, prompting Catholic intellectuals to present themselves in Rome for the service of Pope Pius IX.[4] This agenda supported the notion of a daily publication to champion the opinions of the Holy See.[4]
By July 1860, the deputy Minister of the Interior, Marcantonio Pacelli (grandfather of the future Pope Pius XII), had plans to supplement the official bulletin Giornale di Roma with a semi-official "rhetorical" publication. In early 1861, controversialist Nicola Zanchini and journalist Giuseppe Bastia were granted editorial direction of Pacelli's newspaper. Official permission to publish was sought on 22 June 1861, and four days later, on 26 June, Pius IX gave his approval for the regulation of L'Osservatore.[4]
The first edition was entitled "L'Osservatore Romano – a political and moral paper" and cost five baiocchi. The "political and moral paper" epithet was dropped before 1862, adding instead the two Latin mottoes that still appear under the masthead today.[4] The editors of the paper initially met in the Salviucci Press on the Piazza de' Santi Apostoli, where the paper was printed. Only when the editorial staff was established on the Palazzo Petri in Piazza dei Crociferi and the first issue printed there on 31 March, was the wording "daily newspaper" added to the masthead.[4]
After the breach of Porta Pia by Italian troops in September 1870, L'Osservatore Romano solidified its opposition to the Kingdom of Italy, affirming obedience to the Pope and adherence to his directives, stating it would remain faithful "to that unchangeable principle of religion and morals which recognises as its sole depository and claimant the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth".[4] Soon after, L'Osservatore began to replace the Giornale di Roma as the news organ of the Pontifical State. This development was obvious during the pontificate of Pope Leo XIII, who acquired the paper's ownership and sealed its semi-official status in 1885.[4]
20th century[edit]
The English weekly edition was first published on 4 April 1968.[4] On 7 January 1998, that edition became the first to be printed outside of Rome, when for North American subscribers, it began to be printed in Baltimore.[6] The edition was printed by the Cathedral Foundation, publishers of The Catholic Review.[6]
21st century[edit]
As of 1 July 2011, the English language edition of the L'Osservatore Romano for North American subscribers is once again published in Rome;[7] it had been published by the Cathedral Foundation of Baltimore since 1998.[6]
Past editors-in-chief of L'Osservatore Romano include:[4]
- Nicola Zanchini and Giuseppe Bastia (1861–1866)
- Augusto Baviera (1866–1884)
- Cesare Crispolti (1884–1890)
- Giovan Battista Casoni (1890–1900)
- Giuseppe Angelini (1900–1919)
- Giuseppe Dalla Torre di Sanguinetto (1920–1960)
- Raimondo Manzini (1960–1978)
- Valerio Volpini (1978–1984)
- Mario Agnes (1984–2007)
- Giovanni Maria Vian (2007–present)
L'Osservatore Romano and the Magisterium[edit]
A common error made by journalists and theologians is interpreting the texts of L'Osservatore Romano as if they were of official value for the Magisterium, the church's teaching authority.[citation needed] They cannot have such a value unless a high-ranking bishop is writing a more solemn text, and not a mere theological opinion; otherwise, L'Osservatore does not have the authority to write or approve encyclicals and papal allocutions.[citation needed]
For instance, a 2008 article expressed the wish that the debate on brain death be re‑opened because of new developments in the medical world. An official spokesman said that the article presented a personal opinion of the author and "did not reflect a change in the Catholic Church's position".[8]

Worst blush! Absolutely no color! I'm mad I spent the few bucks for it!
In desperate need of a new blush, I purchased this product on the whim.
This blush was actually very good! The product was not super pigmented, so for a person with fair, light, or even light medium skin, I recommend this blush. People who have skin on the darker side will probably not be able to wear this blush, due to the fact that it is not pigmented enough. Even on very light skin, it was still only slightly pigmented. This was a plus for me though, because I like my blushes natural-looking, and decently pigmented. I think this blush is actually very great if that's what your looking for. If you want more color, go for the darkest shade they have. I love the Fit Me line, because they keep it natural and not cakey looking.
The pricing is cheap, around $5.00 at my local drugstore, so if you're in need of a good blush it's definetley worth a try. I'd say this works best on light skin, due to the light pigmentation. All in all, I really do like this product and I can see myself buying this again in the future.

This product dissapointed me so much... I thought the color looked natural and beautiful when I first saw it in the packaging at the store, and was excited to try it out! Ohhh boy... The brush it comes with is ridiculous, I threw it in the trash and used my EcoTools blush brush (which I love and blends any product). I cannot describe how much I had to swirl the brush over the pressed powder and apply for it to show up! And it still was almost unnoticeable on my cheeks! I had to reapply a lot and when it did, it lasted very little throughout the day (approximately 3hrs). To better describe this crap it's just a piece of colorless chalky pressed unpigmented piece of dust. Amen.

I like this blush. It's my first blush ever and I didn't want one that looked strong. Just 2-3 swipes and it's all good. I suppose others would like something very pigmented, but not me. I don't mind the brush either. It's very small and flexible on my cheeks. Until I think I want something stronger, I'll be using this. :)
I really do love this blush. Why all the negative reviews??? The Fit Me blush is VERY pigmented and looks good with all skin types, especially this color. Medium Pink is so nice and flirty. You can take just a bit for a natural pop of color and also build it up for more definition. A cute girly natural pink color.

I am very pale, and this blush did not show up on me at all. I tried using my fingers, my professional powder and blush brushes, but nothing worked. I have blush that came in a Christmas gift set from Walmart that works better than this blush. There is no pigmentation at all.
I am a very pale lady and this did not show up on me at all. I threw it away. The brush is ridiculous too.
When I saw this in the store i liked it and decided to buy it, but I didnt like it at all.... it was very expensive, and it made me break out. (i have to say though this was 2 years ago, didnt use it again so idk how my skin would react now!) but i didnt like how aggressive it was on my skin.The color was nice, and the texture was very good too.
I didnt like the packaging... it broke after 1 month.. so nope I wouldnt buy this because it made me break out and the packaging quality wasnt good.
I'm so shocked at the negative reviews this product has received. I bought it last night and had my first wear today and i loved it!! It was a beautiful girly pink and lasted all day. I have to say though i am extremely white so the colour probably shows on my much easier than on others. I'm really impressed with it! I bought it on special at about $8ish which i'm really happy with- with normal Australian prices i would consider it a bit expensive. Again, surprised by the reviews, i would recommend it and i think it's gorgeous!

Drones Could One Day Help Boost Farm Productivity
Farmers one day could use drones to scout their fields or spray pesticides
Sept. 19--LONDON, Ohio -- Farmers who looked up at this year's Farm Science Review got a peek at their future.
Ohio State University doctoral student Matt McCrink, who studies mechanical and aerospace engineering, demonstrated his dissertation project -- an unmanned aerial vehicle, better known as a drone. Farmers one day could use drones to scout their fields or spray pesticides.
Data collected by agricultural drones will contribute to precision agriculture, the practice of observing, measuring and responding to crop variability. Today, farmers collect data with combines and other technologies, which log crop yields and characteristics, such as moisture content.
The data help farmers figure out which parts of their fields need more fertilizer or less water so they can be more productive. In the future, this productivity could help solve problems such as world hunger.
"The idea is to build up a technical base and develop robust methods for operating (drones)," said McCrink, whose work will help the Federal Aviation Administration as it develops regulations for commercial operation of agricultural drones.
At the moment, farmers can't hire somebody to "drone" their fields. They can, however, buy drone systems for use on their farms, said FAA spokesman Tony Molinaro. Years from now, after FAA regulations are in place, companies such as Precision Drone of central Indiana could offer field scouting and other services on a commercial basis.
While McCrink's drone looks much like an airplane, Precision Drone's devices look more like helicopters.
Aaron Sheller and Matt Minnes, founders of Precision Drone, demonstrated their PaceSetter system at OSU's farm show on Tuesday. PaceSetter, a hexagonal drone with six propellers, can hover over fields and transmit real-time video to a computer tablet, among other tasks. The system costs $17,500, Sheller said.
Besides keeping an eye on crops, drones can collect data that help farmers better manage their expenses, said Tom Sloma, vice president of crop insurance at Farm Credit Mid-America, a farm loan, lease and crop insurance cooperative in Louisville, Ky., and Farm Science Review exhibitor.
Farmers are using data not only to manage their yields but to manage costs for inputs, such as seeds, "on an inch-by-inch level on a farm, versus what we did only a few years ago," Sloma said. "The more data we have, the more educated decisions we can make."
The university's annual agriculture show runs through today at Molly Caren Agricultural Center near London. More than 100,000 visitors to the three-day event were offered the chance to learn about harvesting corn, tilling soil, beekeeping, small-scale poultry production, cover crops and manure use, among dozens of topics.
"Ohio is truly an exceptional place to be engaged in agriculture," Bruce McPheron, dean of the university's College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, told hundreds attending a luncheon on Tuesday.
One of McPheron's challenges is finding innovative ways to pay for research to solve problems, such as food insecurity and water quality, during a time of shrinking state budgets and federal grant-making.
Working with industry is one way to boost research funding, but that comes with its own challenges, namely, the perception that corporations own the agricultural research.
"We have a lot of checks and balances in place" to prevent research findings that are biased by corporate dollars, McPheron said. "We are even more studious about how we approach research when we're working with the private sector."
Agriculture is Ohio's foundation, Gov John Kasich told the luncheon crowd, citing its 78,000 farms and thousands of food processors that with other agribusinesses generated an economic output of $105 billion in 2010.
"One out of every seven jobs is ag-related," he said. "I think we sometimes take agriculture for granted the same way we take gravity for granted."

Curb appeal is an intangible. It is a phrase used by real estate agents and homeowners, alike. There are television shows, books, and articles telling you how to get it. When you see a beautiful home with great visual appeal, it is often hard to pick a specific element that completes the look...it just works!
I was recently sent this article that gives a break-down of some key features that will help you increase the curb appeal of your home. Here are a few of my favorite features

In a normal election year, Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst would have coasted to a Republican senatorial nomination victory. But this is not a normal election year. It's the fourth year of President Obama's tax-and-spend assault on the American people — and Texans (of which I'm one) are sending Washington a warning: We're tired of the big-spending compromises!
And while Texas's warning is just the latest, it is far from the only one.
It started with the Tea Party rallies and packed, rancorous town halls in the summer of 2009, followed by a massive march on the Capitol in Washington on September 12, 2009 (I was there).
But President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi merely pooh-poohed the warnings and pressed on with their big-spending and ObamaCare agendas.
Another red flag emerged in January 2010, with Scott Brown winning a Senate seat in Massachusetts (of all Democratic strongholds). There arose in the country a collective sigh of relief because it was assumed Brown's victory meant ObamaCare was dead. Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi went through tortured — and unprecedented — legislative contortions to pass the bill.
The result was the November 2010 election, a mass peaceful protest against the direction Obama and the Democrats were taking the country. I wrote a Forbes piece two months before the election describing it as the "'I Can't Wait to Vote' Election." An outraged public was chomping at the bit to get to the election booth to say, "Stop the spending madness!"
Unlike President Bill Clinton in 1994, however, President Obama and the Democratic leadership clearly didn't hear that message either, or if they did they just don't care. In fact, Obama has doubled down on all of his policies, claiming that the only reason for the voter grumbling is he hasn't made his case clear enough.
And while the majority of ire is deservedly targeted at Democrats, establishment Republicans are catching their share of the fallout. Former Utah Republican Senator Robert Bennett is a conservative, but he was found too willing to compromise.
I invited Bennett to speak to a small group of business executives in 2009, where he discussed his decision to cosponsor a health care reform bill with Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, a Democrat. Wyden's bill also had an individual mandate requiring people to have health coverage. Bennett explained he didn't think the bill was perfect, but Democrats ruled Washington and he thought there might be some room to amend it later. He was willing to compromise at a time when compromise was increasingly becoming anathema to those determined to see the country return to fiscal responsibility.
Bennett lost Utah's Republican primary.
Yet another far left writer without a clue about what it means to be a conservative, writes an article about conservatives like he is one of us. LOL.
First of all, only a clueless left wing liberal would write that Bennett or Lugar is a conservative. They are liberal RINO's. Thats is why they got voted out.
Honestly, do you realize that Lugar was the NUMBER ONE target of conservatives nationwide? Thats why he lost 39% to 61%.
Since you are a liberal media hack who wants to pretend to be a conservative, at least go read something like REDSTATE and learn where conservatives stand. Because anyone that has a clue about politics wouldn't write that the two republican senators that conservatives cant stand for being so liberal, are respected conservatives. LOL.
Here, I will help your education. I blogged this anti Lugar article for REDSTATE back in April.
Read it and you will see how Lugar has an "F" rating with the NRA and opposes border control and was a co- sponsor of the Dream Act. Lugar was also the lead sponsor of the Law of the Sea Treaty, which President Ronald Reagan opposed as a threat to U.S. sovereignty.
And as the Media Director for Tea Party Fort Lauderdale, America's Longest Running Tea Party, I have seen plenty of men who deserve the label of "conservative". Jim Demint, Richard Mourdock, and Ted Cruz are conservatives. Bob Bennett, Dick Lugar, and Lindsey Graham are not.
Mr. Matthews,
Democracy works on compromise. The Constitution was a compromise. Adopting a slogan of "No Compromise" is just the same as saying "Nothing will get done". Now, if that is actually the plan, to produce paralysis in Washington, then that slogan captures the basic idea. However I would venture to say the most Americans want their government to work and compromise is the way to do it.
I agree daviddelosangeles – democracy does work on compromise, it has to. You have different sets of people with diff ideas and you have to meet in the middle or nothing gets done.
The problem i've seen with Republicans is that "compromise" is a dirty word and that America should = a Republican America. Once they figure out the US doesn't only consist of Republicans – then maybe compromise will come or the US gov will fall apart/default.
I'm not even American, nor do I live in America but let me tell you the Republicans are definitely entertaining to watch. I need to start making more popcorn. The funny thing is a lot of these politicians are well educated. I guess you can't teach common sense.

Pipe corrosion is one of the most damaging forms of failure for private, industrial or commercial property owners. This form of corrosion usually goes undetected until a leak or a number of leaks, damage from water, the onset of mold, or some other sign of damage occurs that indicates there is a problem. Property owners face not only the costs to repair or upgrade systems (plumbing, HVACs, chiller water systems, fire sprinklers and other system types), but costs associated with repairing damaged property as well. One of the main objectives of performing a failure analysis is to determine not only the root cause of failure, but also to assign the liability for these costs. This is often the case where there are differing opinions, disputes involving insurance claims, or where litigation is involved.
As a materials testing firm specializing in corrosion we offer a variety of analytical procedures that range from leak detection to identifying the underlying, or root, cause of failure. The Table below lists some of the more common procedures performed at Matco.
Copper Pipe Corrosion Induced Failures
Two distinct forms of corrosion are common to copper piping systems including non-uniform or uniform corrosion, both of which are related to the chemistry of the water including low pH and high alkalinity, and the presence of nitrates or sulfates. Non-uniform corrosion or pitting exhibits deep, narrow, isolated (localized) corrosion cells that can often cause rapid penetration of the substrate that lead to pinhole leaks that can cause water damage and or mold growth. Pitting corrosion is surrounded by non-corroded surface, while uniform corrosion has a relatively uniform deposition of copper corrosion by-products across the interior pipe wall.
Pitting of copper alloys is promoted in the presence of ammonia, steam with sufficiently high levels of CO2, O2 or HN3, sulfides in waters, and iron oxide from upstream corrosion of iron and steel. Three classifications for pitting corrosion are as follows:
- Type I Cause: Hard WaterType I pitting is associated with hard or moderately hard waters with a pH between 7 and 7.8, and it is most likely to occur in cold water. The pitting is deep and narrow, and results in pipe failure.- Type II Cause: Soft WaterType II pitting occurs only in certain soft waters, with a pH below 7.2 and occurs rarely in temperatures below 140° F. The pitting that occurs is narrower than in Type I, but still results in pipe failure.- Type III Cause: Cold, Soft Water High PHType III pitting occurs in cold soft waters having a pH above 8.0. It is a more generalized form of pitting, which tends to be wide and shallow and results in blue water, byproduct releases, or pipe blockage.
Another form of corrosion of internal areas of copper piping that is less common is erosion corrosion, which is associated with the flow rate (velocity) of water traveling through pipe walls, turbulence, or suspended solids. This takes place when copper pipe is installed that is not sufficienty large enough in diameter to accommodate the pressure and flow rate of the water traveling through. These pipe systems will typically experience a higher corrosion rate in areas where protectives coatings are eroded potentially causing damage to the entire system. The area of greatest concern is where the water is forced to change flow direction, such as at elbows and tees.
Determination of the root cause of failure of systems or components can be very complex, and may require multidisciplinary testing and analysis. The first requirement for success is having a full-equipped modern laboratory. Matco's labs include light and electron microscopy, mechanical and electrochemical testing, chemical characterization, and fracture mechanics/FEA analysis capabilities.
The other half of the battle is having the right staff. Matco's staff includes experienced PhD-level Metallurgists, and Materials and Mechanical Engineering Scientists; Professional Engineers; Chemists; Paint and Coating Specialists; and NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Certified Corrosion Engineers, Materials Selection/Design, Coatings and Cathodic Protection Specialists. By combining the right equipment with the right staff, rapid and accurate determinations of the causes of failure can be made.
Matco staff have written several publications including the following on pipe or plumbing system corrosion or other failure types commonly found in
Case History – Corrosion Failure Analysis of Copper Pipe at New York Hotel
Matco Services, Inc. was retained to determine cause of copper pipe leakage at a hotel located in New York. The pinhole leaks, which are temporarily repaired using rubber patches fastened with hose clamps, are continually affecting mostly ¾-inch recirculating hot water pipe but also larger diameter water pipe.
The hotel is approximately 20 years old and leakages have occurred with increasing frequency in the last several years, requiring temporary shutdowns of parts of the hotel to replace leaky pipe. Similar costly problems have been experienced in several other buildings of similar vintage in the vicinity, in which the pipe was installed by the same plumbing contractors.
The hotel water is treated by a Water District using several source water wells. The incoming domestic water is filtered through a vessel containing calcareous filtration media and serviced by a water supplier, who also performs quarterly water testing.
Results and Discussion:
Onsite Evaluations
Photographs taken at the hotel showing the areas of focus, including the Generator Room and Boiler Room. Pitting corrosion was evident in the boiler room and second floor work area, and key pipe samples were obtained from those locations. The additional test methods used to evaluate pipe corrosion are identified below.
Lab Evaluation:
Laboratory analysis of the copper pipe pitting (ID and OD deposits) was performed before and after the onsite investigation. The following conclusions were drawn based on test results from the onsite investigation and labortory testing:
Cause of Failure: The root cause of failure is determined to be the result of interactions of chemical species in aggressive municipal water – this may be currently produced water and/or previously produced water – with the interior of the copper pipe that allowed the hard tenacious deposits to form.
Case History – Evaluation of Corroded Copper and Iron Water Pipes at Golf Course and Resort
A client was experiencing persistent corrosion problems in the water pipes at a golf course and resort. Matco Services was contracted to determine the root cause of corrosion of the pipe system and to provide recommendations for water treatment. A description of the site work is summarized as follows:
Samples were collected for subsequent lab testing.
As Received Observations (2 examples of samples evaluated):
Surface and Cross Section Examinations: Horseshoes and comet tails, vestiges of erosion, will align themselves with the flow direction. The alignment of the comet tails and horseshoes observed are not always aligned along the longitudinal axis of the pipe, suggesting that turbulence is associated with the erosion as may result from the high flow rate of water through the pipe elbows. Longitudinal cross section metallographically prepared samples show that the erosion has penetrated through more than half of the wall thickness in the areas examined.
The solder joint in the straight 1" cold water copper pipe length indicates that one side of the joint is shown to be tight, but free of any solder, as compared to the other side of the joint with solder penetrating almost to the end of the joint. No defects other than the incompletely sealed joints were observed on this pipe sample, and the OD deposits are considered to be attributable to leaks resulting from the poorly soldered joints.
The surface and polished cross section of the 5/8" hot water laundry room copper pipe indicate the characteristic of the ID surface are typical of erosion corrosion. The mechanism results from a repetitive cycle of surface deposit formation, breakdown and removal of the deposit with high flow rates, and re-formation of the deposits. The various stages of this cycle are clearly depicted by the copper, green and black areas of the ID surface. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) image more clearly resolves the surface topography, and reveals the clear presence of erosion artifacts. Cross section metallographic examination shows up to 50% wall thinning has resulted in the sample area examined.
The surface and polished cross section metallographic specimens of the condenser iron pipe indicate surface topographies of the typical pipe ID and deep pitted areas. The photographs suggest that the deep pits result from the removal of progressive layers of the general corrosion on the pipe surface by erosion. It should also be pointed out that the pipe is not iron, but is a hot rolled carbon steel exhibiting a microstructure of ferrite plus lamellar carbide with banding and inclusion clusters oriented in the rolling direction.
SEM/EDS Analyses: Samples of the deposits present on the OD and ID surfaces of the submitted samples were obtained for examination using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and semiquantitative chemical composition analysis using and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The SEM/EDS analyses reveal several interesting findings with regard to the corrosion issues displayed by these samples. The results are generalized by the following discussions.
In erosion corrosion, as displayed by the 1.25" hotel annex and laundry room hot water pipe samples, the turbulence of the water inside the pipe disrupts and removes the normally formed protective cuprous oxide and carbonate films. This stage is flow-induced erosion. The bared copper reforms the protective cuprous oxide, but subsequent turbulence again removes to oxide. Repetitive formation and removal results in the observed erosion of the pipe surface and erosive effects are enhanced with time by the accumulation of erosion debris solids suspended in the water.
The 1" hotel annex cold water pipe sample does not exhibit erosion corrosion, and the only deficiencies observed are the poorly soldered joints. The presence of zinc and tin in the corrosion debris from the OD of the pipe sample confirm that water leakage through the joints is the cause of the OD deposits. The adherent greenish-yellow deposit over the dark cuprous oxide on the ID surface is likely a combination of copper compounds (oxide, chloride, carbonate) provides additional corrosion protection. Although not observed in the submitted sample, localized breakdown could lead to pitting corrosion.
SEM/EDS analysis of the condenser iron pipe reveals the unusual presence of copper in association with the corrosion products. The electrochemical potential of copper is more noble than that of iron, and copper deposits can set up local galvanic corrosion cells where the iron is anodic (corroding) to the copper (cathodic or protected). The likely source of copper is from the copper tubes of the condenser. Copper deposition is unlikely in flowing condenser water, but it is reported that the condenser is idled for 1 month/year. After the corrosion cell initiates at the copper deposits and tubercles are formed, the corrosion process can further propagate by under-deposit corrosion due to local differences in oxygen. The ID surface condition of the pipe as newly installed is not known, but an oxidized (black) surface should be avoided to mitigate the possibility of corrosion initiation by oxygen differential beneath adherent scale (iron oxide).
Water Analysis:
All of the hotel annex waters (copper pipes) are neutral to alkaline (pH 7.7-8.1) and are hard, with high levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) and high conductivity. Low levels of manganese are found, and the chlorine levels are low to moderate for chloride induced corrosion concerns. Calculated Langlier indices of the waters indicate that they are generally in balance, and as observed, do have some tendency for forming protective deposits on the pipe ID surfaces.
The condenser water (iron pipe) is alkaline (pH 8.5) and is very hard with very high levels of conductivity and TDS. The copper content of the water is about 0.2 ppm, about the threshold level for copper deposit corrosion concerns. The Langlier index is negative, and calcium carbonate deposition is not anticipated (as observed). In the presence of dissolved oxygen, the lack of such deposition suggests a strong probability of corrosion, with or without the observed copper deposition.
Conclusions and Recommendations:
This investigation has found the primary cause of corrosion of the annex copper hot water pipe to be associated with flow rate induced surface damage (erosion corrosion). The reported flow rates of up to 100 gpm for the 1.25" diameter pipes are approximately 10 times the recommended maximum flow rate. The 1" cold water pipe does not exhibit erosion corrosion, and exhibits a well formed protective deposit film, however, solder penetration of the joints on the sample provided are of very poor quality.
The condenser corrosion is a result of a poorly balanced water chemistry that will not form a protective deposit layer, combined with galvanic corrosion sites resulting from copper deposition, likely during the idle month when the unit is not in operation. There is also a possibility of oxygenation corrosion. The extensive pits appear to be a manifestation of erosion at isolated active corrosion sites.

A long-term study with a small sample of subjects recently showed that psychotherapy in combination with MDMA (Ecstasy) could have lasting benefits for people suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The results, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, indicate that 83 percent of participants did not present symptoms of PTSD two months after starting treatment, and improvements were still observed, on average, 3.8 years later.
Psychiatrist Michael Mithoefer and his wife Anne (a nurse) and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) participated in this study led by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina.
The study participants were given two doses of MDMA during a long therapy session, after several weekly sessions of psychotherapy where they didn't receive any drug. MDMA was administered again three to five weeks later.
PTSD's symptoms—anxiety, hyperarousal, flashes, depression and nightmares—were reduced by 75 percent. The Mithoefers said this is more than twice the relief experienced by people who get psychotherapy only for the condition.
"Experts familiar with the work cautioned that it was preliminary, based on small numbers, and its applicability to war trauma entirely unknown," reported the New York Times.
An effective solution is needed: Number of PTSD cases has spiked up
The increase in terrorism and the insertion of troops into foreign wars are among the factors that explain the increased number of cases of PTSD.
According to MAPS, one in seven Iraq and Afghanistan veterans suffer from PTSD, in many cases leading to suicide. Not many medications (usually antidepressants) or psychotherapy treatments have proven effective in the treatment of the condition. Instead adverse events, like weight gain, fatigue, somnolence and hypersalivation occurred in patients receiving risperidone, a study showed.
Not every soldier who has gone through a traumatic event suffers the symptoms of PTSD. It is more prominent among those who experienced rape and severe beating or physical assault.
According to the psychiatrist Daniel Siegel in his book Neurobiology of 'We,' the odds of developing PTSD might be related with a preexisting "disorganized attachment," which would interfere with developing the necessary resilience to overcome trauma.
A "disorganized" attachment occurs when the infant's need for emotional closeness is not met, and the parents' behavior has been a source of confusion or fright. Follow ups of children who displayed a disorganized attachment to parents, show their behavior tends to be chaotic with difficulties in the regulation of emotions, social communication, academic reasoning and even more severe emotional problems.
Add that in our society at large there has been a tendency to a disconnection from extended family, friendships, and community.
It's then worthy of note that a drug like Ecstasy, that increases a sense of connection to others, be used to treat PTSD.
Not risk-free: What does Ecstasy do to the body?
MDMA stands from 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine. Street names include Ecstasy, X, E, or XTC, beans, candy, disco biscuits, happy pill, love drug, smartees.
Statistics show that over six percent of teens have tried Ecstasy, a stimulant that has become the most popular "club drug" in the market.
Ecstasy belongs to a class of psychoactive drugs that help people feel euphoric, in touch with their emotions and connected to others. It also causes perceptual disturbances, including changes in perception of colors and sounds, and moderate de-realization with no hallucinations. The drug also increases blood pressure and heart rate.
Ecstasy's chemical structure is similar to that of methamphetamine, a stimulant, and mescaline, a hallucinogen.
MDMA is a potent releaser and/or reuptake inhibitor of presynaptic serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.
Serotonin is one of the substances in the body that modulates mood. There are receptors for serotonin in different organs of the body (95 percent of the body's serotonin is housed in the gut). This molecule influences the formation of blood clots and produces constriction of blood vessels. It also plays an important role in sleep, appetite, memory, sexual behavior, breathing, aggression, peristalsis and the function of our glands. However, its most important function is the regulation of perception that gives us a sense of reality.
A boost in serotonin increases the production of cortisol and adrenaline. These hormones induce euphoria, but the adrenals soon get exhausted, taking a long time to recover and causing several health problems.
Toxicity can manifest with increased muscle rigidity, hyperreflexia, and hyperthermia. Sustained use can cause progressive neurodegeneration of the serotonin neurotransmission.
Researchers have found that consumers of Ecstasy might suffer from a type of severe depression that is resistant to treatment.

This title in other editionsPrizes: Selected Short Storiesby Janet Frame
AwardsSynopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The most comprehensive selection of Janet Frame's stories ever published, this exceptional collection has been chosen from the four different volumes released during her lifetime. Featuring the best of her stories, the book includes pieces that were written over four decades, including stories from her debut collection, The Lagoon and Other Stories. First published in 1951, those stories were written while Frame was confined in a mental hospital. When the collection won the Hubert Church Award, Frame was spared a controversial brain operation.
The stories in this new book also include selections from You Are Now Entering the Human Heart, published in the 1980s after a hiatus from writing. As the last stories she published before her death, her writings from this time reveal Frame's unflinching ability to explore the drama of madness, isolation, and identity. This new book also includes five short stories that have not been collected before, completing a volume that testifies to the brilliance of Janet Frame's life and literary talent. About the AuthorRecipient of the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize in 1989, Janet Frame has long been admired for her startlingly original prose and formidable imagination. A native of New Zealand, she is the author of eleven novels, four collections of stories, a volume of poetry, a children's book, and her heartfelt and courageous autobiography, all published by George Braziller.

Tuesday night, 1-20-98, United Paramount Network (UPN) television presented a pathetic hoaxed videotape purporting to show a rural family experiencing contact by "aliens". In so doing, UPN set back serious scientific investigation of extraterrestrial-human encounters, by passing off this over-acted buffonery by a supposed rural family. Never mind that the hand-held camera never waivered in shooting professionally, while trying to look amateur. Never mind that the family was armed like Waco. Never mind that the script was one "abduction" cliche after another, complete with triangular marks that looked more like they were branded in, than the delicate indentation of extraterrestrial micro-surgery. Never mind even the constant screaming of every family member but the one child, who was the only non-ninny in the bunch.
The point is not this badly-made "home video". With every disinformation "product" foisted on us by the Defense Intelligence Agency's National Reconnaissance Organization, we need to notice how it is packaged and broadcast. The commenting "experts" were standard disinformation spin artists for the rogue UFO Cover-Up organization's mandatory "evil invader alien-attacker" propaganda: Yvonne Smith and Derrel Sims, with Stanton Friedman playing pseudo-neutral, while tacitly endorsing this bilge. An obligatory skeptic appeared briefly, to provide a false alternative. Thus, UFO Cover-Up disinformation forces two false alternatives are: either this film is true, and the ETs are "evil, mean invaders", or this film is a hoax and there are no "aliens". Very neat, very slick, very wrong.
Where were the true qualified behavioral scientists, such as Dr. John Mack, Dr. Leo Sprinkle, John Carpenter, LCSW, Dr. Edith Fiore, etc.? All UPN offered up is a supposed "child psychologist", who felt the child's relative calm was because she "was possessed". Thus, yet a third false alternative is slyly inserted: Could it be... Satan? The boys at Fort Belvoir have really outdone themselves.
I could almost laugh if it were not such a lamentable distortion of what genuine extraterrestrial encounters typically are: consciousness-raising, communication and information sessions. What we saw instead on Tuesday night was the Cover-Up's latest fence-straddling propaganda: "ET contact is a hoax, or it's an invasion."
How about another possibility: "UPN's 'Alien Invasion" is an insult to our intelligence?
