Placing a soft rug by your bed is the perfect way to persuade your feet to get up on a chilly morning. Do you have a large open plan room? Rugs are great for zoning areas in a larger room.
Find the right rug for your bedroom
A rug is a great way to add softness, fresh colours and patterns to your bedroom. Check out our huge choice of styles, colours and materials. You can find anything from a sheepskin or a cowhide, to a hand-knotted oriental rug. Or why not go for a thick, shaggy high-pile rug that's ideal for sinking your cold feet into? Try putting a sheepskin by your bed, and it should be easier to persuade yourself to get up on a cold morning. Check out our STOPP and STOPP FILT anti-slip underlays for increased safety too. They're designed to hold your rug in position, and our thicker STOPP FILT also makes a thin rug feel softer.
A rug and more to match
A rug adds cosiness and a look of extra comfort to your bedroom. It absorbs the sound of footsteps – very useful if someone is asleep. In fact, a thicker rug dampens noise and helps stop your bedroom from echoing. Some of our rugs are part of collections, so you'll find coordinated bedroom curtains and other soft furnishings. Or you could just check out the rest of our textiles and mix and match. It's also very easy and inexpensive to change the textiles in your home. A new rug can give a room a quick revamp. And if you change the curtains and get new bedding too, you can treat yourself to a complete bedroom makeover.

Father Jerome Carosella |
"I was taught theology for four years by Jesuits," said Carosella, referring to the order that the new pope claims. "I greatly admire their long tradition of rigorous academic formation."
Carosella said that the tradition shows through in Pope Francis, who is both the first Jesuit pope, and the first pope from the New World. The 266th pope is also the first non-European pope in centuries.
Carosella and Francis also share a name.
"When I was confirmed, I chose the confirmation name Francis, for St. Francis of Assisi," he explained. "There was much of St. Francis, the humility and simplicity of the Gospel message, in the pope. When he was Archbishop of Buenos Aires, the pope showed great love for the poor and outcast, which was reflected in his own simple lifestyle.
"In his inaugural Mass, given on the feast day of St. Joseph, the pope celebrated the beauty and goodness of God's creation," continued Carosella. "There was an emphasis on God's love and mercy for all of humankind, which I think begins the groundwork for a dialogue both in and out of the church."
As a final aside, Carosella remarked that he had stayed at the same hotel in Rome that Pope Francis stayed in for the conclave.
"Of course," laughed Carosella, "when I checked out, it was under the same name that I checked in with."

Frank, I would suggest ditching the mpif90 wrapper altogether and just invoke the Fortran compiler directly. 'lf95 -lmpif myfile.f90' (or equivalent command line) The point of the compiler wrappers that some MPI vendors ship is usually one of: 1. hide the rat's nest of little libraries from the end user 2. maintain compatibility with an earlier MPI that (see 1) These reasons leave a bad taste in my mouth. You should be able to treat MPI like any other library. Let me know if this works for you.

Russian teenager Sergey Sirotkin had his first taste of Formula One when he took part in a demo run at the Sochi International Street Circuit.
The 18-year-old is set to join the Formula One circus next season after Sauber signed a sponsorship deal that includes several Russian backers.
Sirotkin had his first taste of the machinery on Friday, driving a C31 along the 700 meters of tarmac that are already finished a the Sochi circuit.
"These were my first metres in a Formula One car, which obviously is something very special, even though it was only a short part of the Sochi track," said the youngster.
"Nevertheless I was able to gain a first impression, and this was awesome. It was fun to drive in front of such a big crowd, particularly because most of them were compatriots. Russia can be proud of this great track."
Meanwhile, Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn said her outfit was "proud to be part of this historic event - a Russian driver drives a Formula One car for the first time at the track in Sochi.
"The show run marks an important milestone in the lead up to the inaugural Russian Formula One Grand Prix, which our team is looking forward to."

: As the end of the year approaches, Congress has left everyone guessing as to where things stand with the budget and other very relevant measures that have a direct bearing on Americans' wallets. More
The differences between Democrats and Republicans on the budget are not insurmountable but they are stark. If they can't bridge their differences in the next few months, the country could be at risk of yet another shutdown.
It's hard to predict whether there will be another showdown over the debt ceiling in 2014. But if one does erupt, the U.S. could risk default by March, according to one estimate.
Enough already! Congress should have debates about spending. But they can't politicize the debt ceiling and risk default.
Budget experts and political observers are not optimistic that the next round of talks will produce much in the way of smart changes.
Despite coming close to a debt default, experts say the U.S. dollar and Treasury bonds remain the world's best (and only) choice as a safe haven.
State media reports and credit agency in America's largest overseas creditor blast 'politicians in Washington' and say global confidence remains uncertain.

TuffCam™ Swing Clamps meet your demand for a product that can handle the stress and positioning requirements of high-speed or heavy arm applications. These tri-cam design clamps, with their patented Cam Follower Seat, can position and clamp in one second or less, handle large arms with ease and include the Clocking feature that dramatically reduces the time it takes to change arms for maintenance, replacement or fixture setup.
U. S. Patent Nos. 7,032,897 5,820,118
Frequently Asked Questions
When do you recommend the use of TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamps over the standard product?
Sometimes there are applications where speed is essential, or massive arms are required. These applications may result in premature failure not due to defects in standard clamps, but from excesses in speed, mass or other requirements.When speed is essential, standard swing clamps (which last millions of cycles in ordinary applications) may not live up to life cycle expectations. When a standard swing clamp is damaged early in its life due to speed abuse, replacement with a TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamp may be a way to maintain speed requirements and lengthen device life in the application.
When arm mass damages the swing mechanism of standard swing clamps, the single direction tri-cam design of the TuffCam™ Low Profile clamp strengthens the ball and cam link. The beefier design, capacity and reinforced rotation mechanism of the TuffCam™ Low Profile swing clamp could be your best solution.
Can I run the TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamp at any speed I want?
No, there are restrictions. TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamps are capable of approximately 2X the speed of standard swing clamps in prolonged use without damage. In the event that you need faster speeds or larger arms, please understand that the life of even the TuffCam™ swing clamp is reduced. Consult the Clamp Time and Flow Rate Chart to determine the speed for your application.
What makes the cam follower ball seat so special in these units?
The three cams and three cam balls guide the rotation of the plunger and provide greater guide, support and directional stability. The patented cam follower design is unique in the industry and uses solid carbide balls and composite ball seats. The ball seat design assures that the ball rolls in the cam rather than jamming and scraping resulting in wear on both the cam track and ball.
The demands on my fixture have changed and I am considering your TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamps. Can I switch out TuffCam™ Low Profile for your standard Low Profile product?
Yes, the TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing clamps have the same mounting envelope as standard Low Profile swing clamps.
I want to use work supports with TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing clamps. Will the work supports cycle fast enough to keep up with the part change outs?
There will be some lag between the unclamp of swing clamps and the full release of pressure in any work support circuit. This is critical with fluid advance supports, as the circuit must have time to evacuate under low pressure to allow the plungers to retract for reloading the fixture. If speed is the issue in support retraction to coordinate with TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamps, an air advance support must be used with the air circuit released prior to hydraulic circuit release. When the hydraulic circuit is released, the support will begin to immediately retract pushing only the air from the line rather than the higher viscosity hydraulic fluid.
I'm using a high volume pump and it is "blowing out" my swing clamps. Will TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing clamps take care of this problem?
High volume pumps often incorporate high volume accumulators. An accumulator will yield excessive flow, approaching instantaneous infinite flow, and is intended for dynamic loads. Hydraulic clamps are used to hold static loads, and are static circuits for which dynamic formulae are less applicable. Excessive flow may continue to damage clamps, (even TuffCam™ clamps)we recommend a pump designed for clamping applications or appropriate flow restriction.
It is important to hit my part in the exact place every time in my application, should I use your TuffCam™ Low Profile Clamps?
TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamps will be more precise in their point of contact. Keep in mind that any draft angle or side forces will ultimately damage the cam tracks of any swing clamp and result in loss of precision. In the case of precision positioning, guide pins are recommended and may be implemented with a single-ended or double-ended arm.
How can I measure the clamp speed?
The maximum speed of a swing clamp ia applicable to both the clamp and unclamp function; as the momentum on the cam track and the cam follower apply to both movements. To approximate the speed of your application:
What defines a TuffCam™ Low Profile Swing Clamp?
The single direction tri-cam design of TuffCam™ produces the strength and reliability to support faster speeds and larger arms. This design also delivers noteably better accuracy and repeatability over other brands. The clocking feature, included on all styles, dramatically reduces the time it takes to change arms for maintenance, replacement or design set up.

We have added 3(three clocking features to the Vektek's TuffCam™ swing clamp line. Customers have requested clocking features to help improve and speed-up arm changes.
A drill point on each clamp standardizes arm location at a particular position. An additional 2 (two) orientation drill points reside 120° out from that position and each other. Access to the positioning feature is through the back or side of the arm, making modification a snap for users. Each arm position can have its own specification.
TC LP SC 22kN
TC LP SC 33kN
Swing Restrictors add just one more element of flexibility when using Vektek Swing Clamps. Normally shipped with the swing angle set to 90°, you can have swing restrictors added to your clamps to limit the the arm swing to 30°, 45° or 60°of rotation. Restrictors that are factory installed on new product will be specially marked to avoid intermingling clamps with varying swing angles in your shop. Contact your Vektek Customer Service specialist should you need swing angles greater than 90°.
Clamp Time and Fluid Flow Rate Chart
- The above flows are maximum recommendations and clamp times are minimum recommendations.
- For upreach and double arms, use extended arm flows and times.
- The actual time to position the clamp will vary by custom arm configuration and may require customer testing in specific application to establish limits.
Swing Clamp Arm Length and Pressure Limitations
Step up to Tuffcam™ Technology with our Low Profile Swing Clamp Conversion Kit. If you have standard Vektek Low Profile Top or Bottom Flange units manufactured after 2004, you can upgrade your clamps to TuffCam™ today. The conversion brings you all of the speed, precision and strength benefits of TuffCam™ inside your old models.
If your old model number does not appear in the chart, call us, we may be able to help.

2013 UNHCR country operations profile - Myanmar
Working environment
The context
Myanmar's political environment has been marked by the transition from military rule to a civilian Government in 2011. The change was underpinned by a historic dialogue between President Thein Sein and Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy won 43 out of 45 seats in April 2012 by-elections. The United States of America and the European Union have responded by either lifting or suspending most of their economic sanctions.
Though the new Parliament agreed to consider looking into a proposal to draft a new citizenship law and revoke the current Myanmar Citizenship Law, which could improve the status of a large group of residents in Rakhine State and other people without citizenship in the country, the Government's response was a reiteration of current policies. UNHCR foresees a continuing need to assist some 800,000 residents of Rakhine State without citizenship. Members of this group were allowed to vote in the November 2010 elections, using temporary registration cards issued by the Government. However, discussions on replacing the temporary documents with cards denoting more permanent residential status, if not full citizenship, have not yielded results. There has been no improvement in the legal status or living conditions of this particular group in Rakhine State.
Inter-communal violence which erupted in Rakhine State in June 2012 has forced some 75,000 people to flee their homes. UNHCR leads the humanitarian response to this situation in four sectors: protection, shelter, camp coordination and camp management (CCCM) and non-food items (NFIs).
UNHCR will also assist those without citizenship in other parts of Myanmar. In this regard, the first national census in 31 years (to be implemented in 2014) will serve as an important source of information. UNHCR also envisages conducting a survey on statelessness in Myanmar.
In south-eastern Myanmar, UNHCR supports some 239,000 people affected by displacement through protection monitoring and advocacy with the Government for improved access to essential services. In 2012, UNHCR was able to expand its operational area in this region, allowing it to gain access to more than 100,000 individuals in need of assistance and some 2,000 spontaneous returnees from Thailand.
A ceasefire between the Government and the forces of the Kachin Independence Organization broke down in 2011, and hostilities continue. As a result, more than 75,000 people - mostly women and children - have fled their homes and villages. Since September 2011, UNHCR has been leading the emergency response in Kachin in the protection, shelter, CCCM and NFI sectors.
The needs
Lack of citizenship and enjoyment of basic rights, plus restrictive policies and discriminatory practices by local authorities, are the main protection and livelihood problems faced by Muslim residents of Rakhine State. Essential services such as health care, water, sanitation and education are woefully inadequate and in most cases non-existent.
Fostering peaceful coexistence between communities and enhancing the participation of women and girls in decision-making within their communities are priorities for UNHCR in Rakhine State. UNHCR will need to provide the most vulnerable households with NFIs and basic shelter. Advocacy and awareness-raising will aim to reduce statelessness in a large segment of the population.
Provision of basic support, through the four sectors of intervention, to the displaced population in Kachin State remains a key priority for UNHCR. While overall displaced population numbers are expected to remain stable, UNHCR will also continue to closely monitor the potential to support return to their homes of displaced populations in Kachin State, if such opportunities arise.
In the south-east, UNHCR works to improve the coping mechanisms of communities affected by displacement. There is a need for basic services such as health, water and sanitation, as well as NFIs and shelter. Years of conflict have weakened community self-management structures, which need strengthening. Through an expanded presence and new partnerships with local NGOs, UNHCR will monitor this population, raise protection concerns with the authorities and provide legal assistance where necessary. An improved data collection and management system will assist in the latter.

Strategy and activities in 2013
In line with the implementation of the UN Strategic Framework for Myanmar (2012-2015) and its leadership of the national protection working group, UNHCR will address a range of issues relating to statelessness and displacement. It will advocate for the Government to grant citizenship to affected populations, recognize its responsibilities towards communities affected by displacement, and lift restrictive legal and administrative practices.
UNHCR will continue its efforts to enhance and deepen dialogue with the new Government in 2013, while also strengthening partnerships with civil-society groups, academic institutions and local and international NGOs. It will work with these groups to improve conditions for communities affected by displacement, returnees and populations without citizenship.
Protection monitoring, advocacy and capacity building will be complemented by improvements in basic services such as water, sanitation, health and education. Special emphasis will be placed on strengthening community leadership structures, peaceful coexistence between ethnic groups, and the participation of girls and women in decision-making.
UNHCR's planned activities in Myanmar are based on the assumption that a constructive dialogue with the authorities and targeted development and infrastructure programmes will create more humanitarian space.
In south-eastern Myanmar, the lack of reliable statistics poses a variety of challenges for UNHCR, as does the remoteness of areas affected by displacement. The thin presence of humanitarian agencies in the region also makes it difficult to reach all those in need of assistance. In Kachin, limited access to all areas hinders implementation of activities as well as access to people of concern.
In Rakhine State, the continuous inter-communal tension and instability seriously hinder access, and limit effective implementation of assistance activities for the internally displaced population as well as the resumption of the 2012 programme in the northern part of Rakhine State.
Organization and implementation
Given its lead sectoral responsibilities in three operational areas, UNHCR maintains close relations with UN agencies, NGOs and central and regional authorities. It hosts regular inter-agency meetings in the field and in the capital, and in 2011 established a protection working group in northern Rakhine State.
UNHCR also provides an operational umbrella for several implementing agencies with which it has formal agreements in Myanmar. It participates in the monitoring and reporting mechanism under the UN Security Council Resolution 1612 on Children in Armed Conflict. In the inter-agency response to the Kachin and Rakhine emergencies it serves as the lead agency for the protection, shelter, CCCM and NFI sectors.
Financial information
UNHCR's budget for Myanmar has risen steadily in recent years. Since 2009, UNHCR has allocated additional resources to assist the population without citizenship in northern Rakhine State in five priority sectors that are also supported by the Government. This continued in 2011, with additional funds being allocated for assistance to victims of two natural disasters in Rakhine State.
The budgets also went up in 2011 and 2012, due to increased requirements for displaced people in Kachin and Rakhine States and south-eastern Myanmar. Owing to the new IDP emergencies and the expansion in the area of coverage in the south-east in 2012, the 2013 budget will be revised to address the additional needs.

Call me a downer, but I have not heard a single convincing argument for the preservation of the bricks and mortar of the Bannerman Park Bandstand.
Those in favour of keeping the thing intact have relied, chiefly, on their memories of childhood play around it, while the really ambitious ones have insisted that the bandstand is a viable performance venue with real historic significance.
But has anyone actually explained that historic significance?
Not one of the proponents has described how the bandstand was key to an historic event, period or life, nor have they demonstrated the historic qualities of it as a built structure.
In fact, if the cornerstone reading "1940" wasn't there, I doubt anyone could tell if the thing was built in 1940, or 1960, or 1980 or 10 years ago.
It's not heritage — it's just old. There's a difference.
Hardly a treasure
As for the notion that the bandstand is an "acoustic treasure" (letter to the editor "Losing the bandstand," Sept. 7), I can only borrow the words of John McEnroe: "You cannot be serious."
You're saying that a structure that is routinely ignored by the park's annual music festival is good for performance? I doubt that it was that useful even for brass bands, let alone the kind of
guitar-and-amplifier fare typical of the Folk Festival.
The weakness of these arguments is, I suspect, one reason why bandstand crusaders (now including the mayor) have been forced to offer up childhood nostalgia as proof of the thing's worth.
After all, childhood memories are unassailable, and "everyone has one," right?
I'm willing to bet that, amongst those of us who weren't blessed enough to grow up downtown, quite a few folks are pretty much indifferent to the bandstand's charms.
Not that that's difficult: the structure itself is hardly the most inviting, elevated off the ground and ringed around with a parapet wall that shields the interior from view.
Indeed, I've always thought that, far from engaging the park around it, the bandstand actively turns its back on the park.
It's a great space for copping a feel or rolling a joint without anyone seeing, but that's about it.
A failure as a park centrepiece
And yet, this wholly unremarkable structure is being touted as "the heart of the park."
Might I propose that it's not the structure itself that is the heart of the park, but the role it is trying — and in my opinion, failing, to fill: that of a community gathering point.
Far from being erased, this role will be preserved and enhanced by putting a new structure, more accessible from grade and more open to views, in the existing bandstand's place.
Clinging to the bricks and mortar of the thing is pure fetishism at best.
Politically valuable
I suspect that, deep down, St. John's Mayor Dennis O'Keefe knows this, but his career instincts are telling him that there's no political mileage to be got from tearing any old thing down.
If only he'd been around when they were replacing the old Bannerman Park playground!
Why, there was this awesome orange slide there that I have awfully fond memories of … etc., etc.
B.A. Norman writes from St. John's.

just a reminder. this is more or less the forum that invented modern bartending (egullet even spawned modernist cuisine). some of the great contributors have come and gone. thousands of people have and do lurk here as a source for their ideas and education. you will see precedents on here for an astounding amount of trends used around the world. i'm pretty sure much of the success has come from a scholarly tone and an avoidance of guru-ism.
i have a feeling that in the sous-vide topics, nathanm and vengroff, would always welcome another ratio in the hopes that their ideas scale.
if anyone wants to perform any tests, the rules of two stage dilution should apply to more than just bitters. everything should scale to liqueurs, spirits, absinthe etc...
What has this post got to do with anything? As for the bolded bit. Odd.
It's noteworthy that when most of us speak of reducing the abv, what we're really talking about is reducing the concentration and the abv. My suspicion is that the reduction in concentration may be the more important variable.
This is what I've been saying. With the abv change you are affecting flavour.
This lets us understand that if we add one dash of 75% bitters to the one cocktail and two dashes of 37.5% bitters to another cocktail, the amount of aromatic and flavorful molecules we are contributing to each cocktail is the same
No. It's not. They both have their own flavour profile. Which takes me to my last point on this subject...
I think we all agree that:
4) Two dashes of the same bitters in a glass will make a different drink than 1 dash.
And these bitters at two different abvs (or concentrations if you must) are different.

I updated the drivers for the card. Though I didn't reinstall quake 2. I'm still using the old installation I've had for a while but that shouldn't make a difference right?

Just saw breaky's interview with Maliken and I must say that I would most definitely buy a Breaky announcer if it ever came out haha, who doesn't love that sexy voice. Get on it Maliken/S2!!!!!!
i think a caster voice in general would be pretty cool, so when you get a bloodlust kill instead of saying bloodlust it has a fake commentary "oh that was a brilliant bloodlust kill by swiftblade" ofcourse for this they would have to record different things for every champion or make it ambiguous which would ruin the effect imo
"Alright, I see this every game, when Soul Stealer hits level 11 with a Blink Dagger, he just takes the game over."
You are now blinking and breathing manually.
I'd buy, but it has to miss the majority of the kills and talk about glacius not getting aura.
[S2]Nergal: In HoN, attacking structures during the absence of creeps is not backdooring. [link]
Be sure to remove the Pudding announcer when they release the Breaky one
Be sure to remove the Pudding announcer even if they will not release the Breaky one
Why remove MsPudding's orgasms? I think they fit the Sexy MQ when she annihilate the opponents and gets an IMMORTAL <3
Serious thought, Pudding is as good as Flameboyant, but hella better than the fking john st john-shait.

GOP Representatives Introduce Achieve Act to Counter DREAM Act, Which One Will Immigrants Favor?
House GOP Introduces Immigration Bill, But Will it Offer Solutions to The Majority of Immigrants?
Jeb Bush to Pen Book about Immigration, Release Date in 2013
New York, NY- New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is urging both Presidential candidates to address the issue of immigration reform in their election campaigns.
Bloomberg wrote an opinion piece on his official website which discusses the important role immigrants play in America's financial future.
A story appearing in today's edition of Bloomberg News details the economic impact immigrants have on our economic future. According to the report, immigrant-owned businesses contribute $775 billion to the economy. One out of ten American workers are employed by immigrants.
Additionally, a Standard's and Poor study showed that communities with a large immigrant populations experienced increases in their per capita income, tax revenue and have higher credit ratings.
Immigration reform is a very contentious issue and tackling the problem seems daunting as both parties disagree on how to reform the system. And few political leaders aren't presenting any ideas on how to fundamentally improve the system.
The most recent proposed change, the DREAM Act was shot down by the House in 2010, because they believed it was backdoor amnesty. President Obama recently used prosecutorial discretion to stop deportations of young immigrants, who were brought into the country illegally by their parents. Starting tomorrow these young people can apply for visas, a process that can be simplified with an immigration attorney.
The changes Mayor Bloomberg proposes include increase the number of available skilled work visas and allow more temporary work visas for farm-workers, along with other suggestions.
Since both parties seem to disagree on how to reform the immigration system they are reticent to tackle to problem.

Virtual Lesson Pairs Classes across the Atlantic
Students at a Middle School in Henrico will be in class next week with students at a middle school in Germany.
Through the Math Science Innovation Center in Richmond, Tuckahoe Middle will share a science lesson with students at the Oakleaf School in Weiskirchen, Germany.
Wharton: This is the very first one that we've done here at the Center.
Lorin Wharton is a science educator at the Innovation Center.
Wharton: My seniors class were hoping that as we go onto next year other schools will generate interest and wanting to do the same thing. Because most of the schools around here, especially the middle schools, have the international baccalaureate program, and part of that is being paired with an international school. So we're hoping if this goes smoothly and works nicely we can offer this out next year, to our consortium schools, to use this as one of their services.
The idea, she said, was born just before Christmas when Wharton was visiting Donna Forrester's science class at Tuckahoe to talk about one of the Center's new programs.
Wharton: We have a new life science genetics lesson. She introduced me to the idea of doing a lesson with their sister school that they're paired with here at Tuckahoe over in Germany.
The two were excited by it and came up with the seed of an idea to do an international virtual science lesson. Everyone will be able to see everyone else.
Wharton: It's really neat how our virtual lessons work. We use a software platform called Illuminate so everybody is connected virtually. The Tuckahoe students will be there at their school and we'll be here at the Math Science Innovation Center. And everybody logs onto the Illuminate link with webcams and we are able to physically see each other up on the screen, and interact with each other with the webcam microphones and other tools that the Illuminate platform offers us. So it will be all virtual.
Wharton and the author of the lesson are going to do the presentation:
Wharton: Rachel Martin actually wrote the lesson, it's a genetics lesson called Fish Out of Water. The students come in and they learn what alleles are, they pair up alleles. The overall point of the lesson is to combine genetic alleles to figure out what generations of offspring of fish would look like as you move through time.
As far as the language barrier,
Wharton: We will have a class of students from Tuckahoe Middle who are taking German and most of the students over in Germany are proficient in speaking English. They've had probably four or five years of English by this point. Overall we'll have 50 students from Tuckahoe and about 55 students from the school in Germany. And most of the students from Germany are middle school students and they are going to incorporate in some of their 9th-grade biology students because the students in Germany who are taking the biology course take the course in English. So most of them are pretty proficient in English already, but we will have the German teacher there from Tuckahoe that will come and help aide us in case there are any translation issues or any confusion that takes place she'll be able to come on and help us translate, so that makes a little more sense.
Wharton says everyone involved is excited. The American team has had two online meetings with their German counterparts and students in both countries are ready for Tuesday morning.
Wharton: It's such an exciting opportunity and such a unique opportunity to be able to connect these students across the ocean with one another.
The hope is, Wharton concluded,
Wharton: They can continue to communicate using platforms like Skype and be able to see one another and continue discussions, especially science discussions, after we do this virtual lesson with them.

Cash named USA Today All-American
Cash ranked second on the team with 117 tackles this season. The Plantation, Fla., native also recorded 8.0 tackles for a loss along with four interceptions, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
He was a key piece to the Duke defense that held opponents to 24.7 points per game and forced 26 turnovers. Cash was also the only player to rank in the top 10 in the ACC in tackles, interceptions and forced fumbles.
Duke has now had one All-America selection in each of head coach David Cutcliffe's six years at the helm. Safety Matt Daniels earned second-team All-America honors in 2011.

My Profile
Josh Groban
Pop and classical singer Josh Groban made his debut in the seventh grade, but then put music aside for a few years until he enrolled at the Interlochen Arts Program. In late 1998, he hooked up with a friend of his vocal coach, producer/writer/arranger David Foster. Groban worked for Foster as a rehearsal singer on a series of high-profile events, including the California gubernatorial inauguration of Grey Davis and the Grammy Awards (at which he rehearsed Foster's "The Prayer" with Celine Dion in place of Andrea Bocelli). He was accepted into the theater department of Carnegie Mellon University, but put his education on hold when he was offered a recording contract at Warner Bros. through Foster's 143 imprint. He made his recording debut singing "For Always" with Lara Fabian on the soundtrack to A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, and appeared in the 2001 season finale of the television series Ally McBeal. His debut album, Josh Groban, was released in November 2001. Over the next year, Groban became a star. His album went double platinum, and he had his own PBS special in November 2002. A month later, he performed "To Where You Are" and "The Prayer" at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, and joined the Corrs, Ronan Keating, Sting, Lionel Richie, and others for a holiday performance at the Vatican in Rome. In November 2003, Groban issued his second album, Closer. Two months later, he earned his first number one record when Closer skyrocketed from number 11 to the top spot on the Billboard album charts. In 2006, Groban released his third studio album, Awake, featuring guest appearances by the vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo and jazz pianist Herbie Hancock. The holiday-themed Noel appeared in 2007, with Awake Live following in 2008. In 2010, Groban paired with famed producer Rick Rubin for his fifth studio album, the Americana-informed Illuminations. In 2012, Groban returned with the Rob Cavallo-produced All That Echoes featuring guest appearances from trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and Italian singer Laura Pausini. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi

I love Josh Groban! I don't know if he's a Christian or not, (I hope and pray that he is!) but only God could give someone a voice so beautiful!!! That right there is NOT a result of millions of years and Evolution!
The song To Where You Are also helps me. I suddenly lost my son almost 5 years ago and every time I hear this song, it reminds me that he is only a breath away. Thank you Josh for lending your voice to this beautiful song.
I think he is such a comfort. When my husband suddenly passed away, it was Josh's song To Where You Are that helped m to grieve. It's going on twelve years and the song still helps me.
I do, he has such beautiful voice , I fell in love with his voice since the first time I hear him sing over 10 years ago.
Mddy1434: You and your loved ones are in my prayers. I too am grieving though for a different loss, I ache too. But, draw cloae to God. Jesus loves you and if you cry out to him with all of your heart he is faithful to hear you and comfort you. This is the only I am able to get through this suffering. Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
To where you are, Our lovely son, JASON went to be with GOD in 2008 and this sing makes me cry. His music is like no other
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Josh Groban. He is truly gifted by God with his voice. Touched by angles. Takes my breath away. Only God can help us enjoy someones voice in that way. Bless you Josh.

The program will meet these objectives by renovating, retrofitting and modernizing public housing units and providing employment for construction workers and skilled laborers. In meeting its objectives, the program will support economic recovery, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumer energy costs, and preserve and create public housing that is affordable to lower income families.
The key milestones for the formula grants include the allocation of formula awards by HUD, the obligation of funds by HUD to grantees, the obligation of funds by grantees and the expenditure of funds by grantees.
The Recovery Act provided $3 billion in formula funds for public housing agencies to renovate and modernize the public housing stock. This funding will enable 3,124 Public Housing Authorities in fifty states, Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to expand the level of rehabilitation performed and to increase the number of units modernized. The types of activities will vary based on each PHA`s specific needs and its assessment of priorities. Specific activities are those eligible under the Capital Fund, which include physical improvements such as new building systems (heat, water and electrical), structural systems (roofs and exteriors) and other renovation and rehabilitation work that corrects building deficiencies and improves living conditions for public housing residents. Many PHAs find the repair and/or renovation of existing public housing units does not always meet the needs of its residents nor does it enable the public housing project to blend into the existing community. In these instances, the PHA may consider the development of new housing either at a demolished site or elsewhere. It is important to note that the development process does take time to implement; therefore, PHAs need to consider the time factor in undertaking this process. PHAs are expected to also undertake activities resulting in improved energy efficiency, reduced energy costs, and a lower carbon footprint. Activities include the use of Energy Star labeled appliances, weatherization, and the use of fuel efficient heating and air conditioning systems. PHAs can use energy audits to assess how much energy each unit or building consumes and to evaluate what measures can be taken to promote energy efficiency in their heating, cooling and hot water systems.Project/Activity: PHAs will develop or rehabilitate public housing units.Description: Specific activities are those eligible under the Capital Fund, which include physical improvements such as new building systems (heat, water, electrical), structural systems (roofs, exteriors) and other renovation and rehabilitation work that corrects building deficiencies and improves living conditions for public housing families. PHAs may also consider the development of new housing at a demolished site or elsewhere.Funding: $2,985,000,000.00Project/Activity: Deliver training, technical assistance, monitoring, enforcement, research and evaluation activities.Description: HUD will hire staff, build systems and capacity and work with grantees to ensure effective and efficient implementation.Funding: $15,000,000.00
(1) Data Collection and Reporting a. Spend Plans: After award, but before gaining access to funds, the grantees must submit a plan on how to use their funds. PHAs must submit a report (Annual Statement Parts I and II) which details the proposed tasks to be implemented, based on the funding awarded. The Field Office receives the report which is used to monitor the grant obligations and expenditures. b. Financial Reports: HUD has two financial reports that will be generated and analyzed on a weekly basis. These include a Summary Financial Report that indicates the amount of funds for each program, and a Funding Notification Report, which shows the amount of funding by program for every jurisdiction, including local governments and some states.c. Quarterly Recipient Reports: The cornerstone of HUD's monitoring and evaluation system is the project and contract data collected from grantees. The Recovery Act specifically requires data collection fields for grantees and contractors. In addition to these data, HUD will also collect program-specific measures from grantees (e.g., number of units rehabilitated, private dollars leveraged, etc.).d. Sample Survey of Outcomes: HUD will generate a random sample of grantees and will survey them to identify outcomes.(2) Ongoing Grantee Management: HUD has separated PHAs into two broad categories for risk, troubled PHAs and non-troubled PHAs. PHAs are designated troubled by the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC). This designation is based on the PHA's score in four performance indicators: physical condition of properties, financial condition of PHA, management operations of a PHA and resident service and satisfaction. To ensure troubled PHAs meet Recovery Act requirements, HUD will provide increased monitoring and oversight which will include, but not be limited to the following: being placed on zero threshold for Recovery Act funds to prevent the drawdown of funds without HUD approval, review of compliance with Recovery Act requirements, monthly progress updates and remote and on-site visits. In addition to specialized HUD teams providing assistance, there will also be HUD contract support provided when appropriate. For PHAs that were not designated troubled by REAC, HUD will conduct routine monitoring, which can include remote and on-site reviews and technical assistance as necessary, in order to ensure PHAs meet Recovery Act requirements and adjust monitoring strategy based on a PHA's performance. Any PHAs found to be in non-compliance with Recovery Act requirements will be subject to corrective action which could include additional technical assistance, require HUD approval of all transactions related to the Recovery Act funds or recapture funds, as necessary.
With respect to reporting, OMB has issued detailed guidance on the requirements for recipients of the Recovery Act funds. Specifically, each prime and first tier recipient is required to report specified information to HUD 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. This includes but is not limited to a detailed list of all projects and activities for which Recovery Act funds were obligated or expended, an evaluation of the completion status of the project or activity, and an estimate of the number of jobs created or retained. In addition to the overarching requirements of the Recovery Act, HUD has also identified a number of program-specific measures that will be collected through this reporting process. HUD expects that the transparency requirements of the Recovery Act, specifically the requirement to publish both spending and recipient performance reports, will create accountability amongst its managers and grantees. That said, HUD will establish additional internal management controls to create a greater level of accountability for performance. The HUD Recovery Act program management team will work with the leads of the program and cross-cutting teams to prepare a bi-weekly program snapshot report for the steering committee to review with the Deputy Secretary and Secretary. Drawing from the program and risk management plans, the reports will include summary-level quantitative financial and programmatic performance measures and targets, key milestones, and issues or risks. Interim spending and performance targets will be set to ensure that annual objectives from the program plans are met. Performance data will be summarized by grantee risk category, as defined in the agency's risk management plan. Performance measure targets and milestones that are missed, or that are in jeopardy of being missed, will be accompanied by an explanation of the reasons why, including any issues affecting progress and the specific plan for their resolution or mitigation. The report will also identify specific grantees with performance issues, and summarize the actions being taken to address them. In addition to the bi-weekly reporting, each program team will meet with the Secretary, Deputy Secretary and Steering Committee on a monthly basis to review a more detailed set of Recovery Act performance measures. On a quarterly basis, these monthly meetings will include updated grant recipient data described above.
This program does not invest in Federal infrastructure. However, for HUD's programs that include construction or rehabilitation or are Federal investments in privately owned housing: New buildings and major renovations financed through formula grants are required to meet local energy codes. New construction and major renovations financed through some competitive grant programs will, in the case of single family homes, be built to the standard for Energy Star for New Homes (15 percent more efficient than the 2004 International Residential Code); or in the case of multifamily buildings to exceed ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-conditioning Engineers) Code 90.1 2007, Appendix G, by 20 percent. HUD's competitive program requirements also ensure that new construction and major renovations follow sustainable design and green construction principles to (1) optimize energy efficiency and performance; (2) employ integrated design principles (and controls); (3) protect and conserve water; (4) enhance indoor air quality; and (5) reduce environmental impact of materials used.

WA Frost & Company
Online Reservations
We had a very enjoyable meal. Our waiter knew all about the menu items and made recommendations. Service was prompt.
Good food, nice lunch location, excellent for a business lunch meeting.
I always love coming to WA Frost because it is classy and elegant. But beyond that it has outstanding food and wide selection of beverages. I am never disappointed in the service. Our family along with small children has come there for brunch with great success. The outdoor patio is a treat. Thank you for being there as a mainstay for the St. Paul and Twin Cities' pleasure.
Food was refreshingly distinct & flavorful. We've always enjoyed the ambience at Frost's. And once again we were not disappointed. However, for the first time we felt our waitress was not adequate. When we needed her she was nowhere to be seen. This occurred at least 4 times. This was bothersome.
We came to WA Frost on advice of friends for our wedding anniversary. I wanted a restaurant that had some atmosphere but also a menu that my husband would like (he is not a foodie). We found both at WA Frost. The summer salad was outstanding with a variety of summer vegetables and tastes. We found a bottle of wine easily that complemented both pork and fish. Dinner was a celebration except for our table which we thought was located in a less desirable area. There was constant traffic behind my spouse from the kitchen. It only takes one small detail to color an evening.
Excellent food, exemplary service. Had to almost shout to be heard by my lunch companion until the crowd thinned out after 1:30.
Our server was excellent. He was able to answer questions about food and wine options. He assisted in an entree decision and the meal was spectacular.
This spot provided what will go down in my wife's book as the best date we have ever had. The ambiance was superb, the waitstaff was well studied, and the food was incredible. She had the Halibut, and I tried the chef's burger. Both were beyond expectation. We also tried the oysters as well. She loved them, I didn't, but that's strictly because of my preference. Everything about the place was well done. What's more, as we walked the street back to our car, a man began playing harmonica behind us.** It was absolutely surreal. We will be visiting there for the rest of our lives. Well done. **harmonica player not included with restaurant reservations
We had a wonderful time at W A Frost. The service and food was excellent.
New to the area, I've been looking for great eateries; Frost was suggested. The food is inventive, but not overly 'nouveau', with a good dessert presentation. Al fresco dining is excellent! Inside is conducive to good conversation; beautiful antiques and design accoutrement suggest a nice elegance, while not appearing...stuffy? As a former professional NYC waiter I try not to micro-assess the service. One waiter wrote nothing down and the entire order was perfect. Another wrote all down and messed up my drink order. His only mistake, he quickly corrected it. Overall, the wait-staff is quite good. For New Year's I'll entertain discerning 'foody' friends from Houston. I'm confident they'll like Frost's.

I had never been before but it was quite good. The food was served in small portions but it was intelligent cuisine. I would go again!
The decor and service are beyond reproach. I was a bit surprised at the limited menu options, but they choose a few things and do them very well. They tend to have a few main ingredients and serve them in different ways or portions. If you aren't a salmon fan during that season, you're left with just a couple other options. That said, the petit filet was quite good. The vodka tonic was completely flat, so I marked down for that. The starter trio we ordered was good, but a strange combination of flavors.
Brought some friends in from out of town. Our first time at WA Frost. I set up a reservation on line and even though the online service said we would need to contact the restaurant directly for patio seating, we were seated in the patio anyway. It was a perfect evening to be outdoors. Praise from all of my out of towners.
This restaurant had many delicious options that suit a dairy free and gluten free diet. The staff took special care to make adjustments where needed and provide me with an allergy free meal, including an appetizer and dessert. It was delicious and I will definitely be back!
The only issue we have ever had is trying to choose the individual choices as everything looks so good. Which is why we almost always go with the Chef's Taster menu. So, again, fantastic, everything from the House cold smoked salmon to the sweet corn soup (with pork belly and avocado) to petite filet mignon, and the cheesecake and berries and the end. Always our go to for special occasions.
Several gluten-free options available on the dinner menu and the waitress said other items could be altered to be GF. Staff seemed to be knowledgeable about GF dining and willing to work with me. Very nice experience.
It had been several years since our first visit to W.A. Frost. Our recent experience met and surpassed our memories and expectations. The chef's sample tasting was unbelievable. Each of the 5 courses was absolutely succulent to the senses - the combinations of textures and flavors made for a wonderful meal - the perfect finish to a perfect day.
WA Frost is a wonderfully historical site which offers great dining and service with a touch of class. Thank you.
We had forgotten about this venerable place. The food was delicious, well prepared, innovative. Service was friendly and accommodating. The decor is elaborate in a Victorian style, reflecting the era of construction. The only criticism we had was that the choices for entrees were pretty limited, especially for meat dishes.
My husband and I have gotten the Chef's tasting menu for our anniversary for the last 3 years and we have yet to be disappointed. The food is wonderful and the wine pairings are a perfect compliment, we especially love the sweet corn risotto. Service is always top notch. We are already looking forward to next year!!
Fabulous waiter! We stopped going to Frosts a couple of years ago because we had a TERRIBLE waitress one evening and she knew we were celebrating a birthday. Wish we knew our waiters name but we do know he has been there fourteen years in Feb. We noticed our food was delivered by the waitress we had last time and she was rude even doing that!
This place was a great fit for our business dinner. We had a semi private "room" and were able to close the doors off on one end to give us more privacy. The wait staff was on top of it all night while keeping a good distance. We will be back again in the future. There are several fireplaces around the various dining rooms and they are kept very clean and smoke was only a hint in the air. If you don't like the smell of smoke you won't even notice. If you do like it, you will want more. I think they have found the perfect balance. There was a nice looking couple sitting at a table right in front of one of the smaller fireplaces and I was quite jealous. ;-)
Wonderful ambiance, gourmet food, and great service. Perfect evening. All of this made the special occasion even more meaningful and special.
WE'd not been to WA Frost in a long time and were pleased with food and the service. The pulled pork sandwich was very good and the pumpkin soup delightful! My lunch partner chose the mussels - a very large portion for an appetizer and pronounce quite tasty. We will back!
We don't get here are much as we should (we're from Mankato). So we finally got around to eating here after too long. We've always enjoyed it, but the cuisine has become more innovative. They've also joined the trend towards offering most of their entrees in 'micro' (half sized) portions; likewise the deserts. Highly recommended.
I love going to WA Frost. It is the perfect place to visit for many different types of occassions. Is is our top place to meet. Four long time friends for brunch. Location-PERFECT. It's a central location for all of us to meet. The setting is lovely. It is relaxing and feels so cozy and welcoming. There are many places to be tucked away to chat and not be bothered by noise. The service is always wonderful. The staff are so gracious. The food is absolutely yummy! It is creative and flavorful. It is the best part of the experience! Always a treat! I highly recommend it!
Andrew is a fabulous waiter and we always ask for him to be our waiter. Awesome!
So enjoyed a delicious and special lunch at WA Frost with three of my closest friends. Our table was close to gigantic windows where the afternoon sun warmed up the dining room. Our server Mark was attentive, accommodating and discrete especially with my friend who is vegan. The pumpkin rutabaga soup was perfectly seasoned and beautifully garnished. Each of us was happy with our meal and the house made watermelon raspberry sorbet was a perfect finish. Excellent choice all around. I can't wait to come back and try the fall dinner menu!
We celebrated our anniversary here. The atmosphere was amazing and romantic. The food was exceptional, especially the pumpkin risotto! The best thing for me was the portion size - it was perfect! I could eat without feeling like I wouldn't be able to finish it all or have to take it home. A very lovely place- I highly recommend!
I recently took my girlfriend to W. A. Frost. Great place for a romantic date. I had flowers delivered to the restaurant, and they were on the table when we arrived. Very nice! She loved them! The meal was nice. A bit pricy, and the portion sizes, I thought, were a bit small. Very tasty though. Overall, a good restaurant.
We had a great time eating at WA Frost, and truly felt that we had dined. The ambience was cozy, the service was just right (attentive, but not over the top), and the food was delicious.
Our family has a tradition of celebrating special occasions at W.A.Frost. It is a beautiful, old world, place to be. This occasion was the 90th birthday of my uncle. It was everything I could have hoped for - and more - as our waiter, who is also an opera singer, treated my uncle to a very fine "Happy Birthday" - especially sweet as my uncle has sung in choirs his whole life. I was, as usual, very impressed by all the courtesy and care.
W.A. Frost is our favorite restaurant, and it certainly didn't disappoint on this visit. My husband and I went with two friends, and we all had a lovely time. We were seated in the third dining room, next to the fireplace, so we were warm and cozy. The restaurant was packed (it was a Saturday night), but it was not loud. We enjoyed all our food and drinks immensely. My only complaint was that our mostly wonderful waitress was a little slow at times--we had to ask repeatedly for a dessert menu, and she didn't take our dessert order for a good ten minutes or so. But other than that, everything was perfect.
Intimate atmosphere and excellent food made for a wonderful date night!
A beautiful setting for a fine meal with great company. The ambience is excellent. The food was delicious and beautifully served. They have a large wine selection. We are not wine experts but I felt there could have been more help in selecting from the staff. The menu is a little at the pricey end of the scale but it is worth every penny.
I was able to make our reservation last minute on Saturday am for our group of 8. There is off street parking right next to the restaurant, which is so convenient! They even let us leave one of our cars there during the Brad Paisley concert. All the people that sat us, took our orders, keep our water glasses fills and bussed the tables were so nice and attentive! We loved the atmosphere. It was so quite and relaxing! Definitely will dine there again!
The waiter was awesome! Sang happy birthday to my 18 year old in a professional tenor voice that was off the charts! Support wait staff was excellent and attentive.Food was delicious and high quality. Great wine recommendation.
We enjoyed the unusual tastes and flavors used for the different entrees that we ordered. We needed to ask several questions about many of the unusual food accompaniaments with the entrees. Our server was very knowledgeable about each question we had. That helped us choose.
Fabulous as usual. The pacific oysters were superb and we loved the pumpkin soup.
My two friends, one from Puerto Rico and the other from Nicaragua have traveled quite a lot. They were very pleased with the quality of food, temperature and taste. The New York strip steak was flavorful, cooked properly to order, and was an abundant serving. The risotto was outstanding in flavor. Perfectly prepared. Too bad the portion size for this plate was so small! The house hamburger was perfect. Good flavor. Prepared as a well done burger, and not carbonized to death! The trio of desserts was fair to a best ever rating by one of my savvy traveler friends. The creme brûlée hit as the Best Ever! The pumpkin cannoli was a very close second with great seasonal taste and not over powering spices. The Mexican brownie was a disappointment.
We went on a Monday night and took our time for this meal. We're not rushed by the staff ad they were attentive throughout the night. A wonderful evening.
The atmosphere is fantastic, food is excellent, and the service is very accommodating. This place is very historic, elegant, and visually stunning. The food is bold and well done, both interesting and delicious. The service was great, helpful choosing a dish, valet parking, and even took our picture by the stunning Christmas tree. There is a great wine list, wine flight (for the bold), a great chef's multi course meal if you really want something to remember, and a nice beer list too. Just an impressive place all around. Thanks for the nice night:)
I enjoyed sitting by the fire eating my mushroom and goat cheese omelet served with a fat sausage the width of kielbasa. The breakfast potatoes served with caramelized onions were the best. Don't ask for ketchup, because they don't need it.
This is one of my favorite restaurants during the holiday season. They do a magnificent job with the decorations and the staff and atmosphere help one ring in the spirit of the season. The food and service were good too.
I have been coming to W.A. Frost for years and have always enjoyed my meals and the ambiance of the restaurant.
This is the place we chose to celebrate our Anniversary. Number 55 this year. We are treated like royalty, the food is outstanding and the service unsurpassed.
We enjoyed a fabulous brunch this past Sunday morning. Me and my husband and our two closest friends like to try out different restaurants around the Twin Cities for brunch. Of all the places we've tried, I believe that the food at W.A. Frost was the best I've enjoyed so far! I can't wait to go back this summer and enjoy what looks to be a wonderful outdoor patio. As of right now, it's frozen and covered with snow and ice. (But at least we would probably get our pick of seating!)
Our contiegency of employees from China went as a group to China with several executives. They felt the food and ambience was wonderful on a cold winter evening, and they really enjoyed it (stayed from 6pm to 10pm)! I would say this restaurant is excellent for a group or business group. Thank you for making our team dinner successful!
The ambiance at Frosts was magical. We sat by the fire which was wonderful. The food and service was exceptional. One of my favorite restaurants. Will be back again soon!
I flew into MSP late on a Fri. night with an Open Table reservation for 10 pm. We were 30 minutes late. The restaurant could not have been more flexible about our schedule. Our waitress was very attentive. We had a great meal. The ambiance was super. The bourbon list was extensive. I told family in MSP the next night that we ordered Rock Hill Farms at Frost and they could not believe it. Everyone said they had to return to Frost for they had not eaten there in years. I was impressed and would return in a heartbeat.

Fat Ivors pretty much limits the wall decor to "cowboy" and "John Wayne", though.
