At a ceremony on 24 April 2008, President Amadou Toumani Touré of Mali thanks His Highness the Aga Khan for the work undertaken by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture in restoring the mosque. Mopti, Mali, 1 August 2005 - During his recent visit to Mali, the Aga Khan reviewed restoration efforts undertaken on Mopti's Grand Mosque by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). The mosque, an earthen structure built in the traditional Sudanese style between 1936 and 1943 on the site of an earlier mosque dating from 1908, was at serious risk of collapse until the Aga Khan Trust for Culture commenced restoration work. It is expected to be fully restored by 2006.
"Mopti's mosque is an outstanding example of the traditional Muslim architecture of the Sahel," said the Aga Khan. "We hope that our restoration efforts, which include an important training component, will develop appropriate restoration guidelines and solutions that will be used in other projects in Mali and in the region."
"On behalf of the people of Mali and the government, we are honoured that the AKDN is contributing to the preservation of the country's cultural heritage," said President Touré at the signing of an an agreement on 1 August 2005 that will expand cooperation in social, cultural and economic development in the country. The President had visited the mosque in April.
The mosque is commonly called the Mosque of Komoguel. The first phase of the work on this important landmark focused on repairing the roof and stabilising the upper part of the building, which had been damaged by the inappropriate use of cement in a previous restoration effort in 1978. Because cement weighs additional loads to the structure and integrates poorly with the traditional materials, earthen buildings clad with cement often suffer water infiltration and structural damage over time – a process which, in this case, had weakened and seriously compromised the stability of the monument. Fissures in the cement cladding applied in 1978 have been infiltrated by water, which has led to structural damage and compromised the stability of the building.
Since November 2004, local masons have been working under the direction of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture to remove the cement layer and replace damaged areas with traditional mortar and bricks, which are made by mixing earth with rice chaff.
Attention to tradition has been paramount in the development of the work. Gisèle Taxi and Wilfredo Carazas, the AKTC consultants specialising in earthen architecture, are responsible for the restoration work, "The first objective for the work at the Mopti Mosque was to make the buildings structurally sound," said Gisèle Taxi. "The second was to reinstall the original material using traditional techniques and expertise."
All work on the Mosque is conducted in conjunction with la Direction Nationale du Patrimoine du Ministère de la Culture du Mali, regional authorities, the city of Mopti and the Mosque's committee. The local authorities also helped with the selection of experienced masons and young apprentices who are being trained on the job. Training is an important aspect of the AKTC's international work and mission.
The Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which has wide expertise in the restoration of traditional buildings in contexts as varied as northern Pakistan and Zanzibar, became involved in the restoration work following the visit of His Highness the Aga Khan, Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims, in October of 2003.
On 14 October 2004, the monument was formally inscribed as an official landmark in the nation's cultural heritage by the Minister for Culture.
In addition to its activities in cultural restoration, the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is instituting various social and economic programmes in Mali, including improvement of the aviation infrastructure and microfinance initiatives. Mopti's Medical Complex was a recipient of an Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 1980. AKDN's West African presence includes operations in Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal.

"We finished tonight and that is something we have not been doing well," she noted after her young Lee volleyball squad improved to 6-3 and handed the visiting Eagles (4-1) their first defeat. "This was certainly one of our more exciting matches. The crowd was in it, and they were great."
The Atlanta-based NCAA Division III opponent won a nip-and-tuck first set 25-21 and pretty well set the tone for the entire evening. The Lady Flames fought right back and got the attention of the Eagles by claiming set two, 25-17.
Emory wasn't about to yield to the Lee pressure and fan support and grabbed set three, 25-23. With their backs to the wall, the Lady Flames battled back like a trapped animal and shot down the Eagles in the fourth set, 25-14, forcing the fifth and deciding set.
The final game rocked back and forth until the Lady Flames finally gained the upper hand and put the thriller away, 15-13. The deciding point of the headline maker came on a kill by sophomore Marija Zelenovic, who went high to knock down the winner from midcourt.
Zelenovic finished with 19 slams and seven digs. But the 6-foot-3 Serbian had to share plenty of the spotlight with Irene Ojukwu, who came up with big plays time and again. She tallied 17 kills and a .405 attack percentage. The junior from Brazil added nine digs and a couple of blocks.
However, Paula Martins also had the crowd on its feet with 11 kills. She continued her outstanding hitting mark by registering a .476 percentage. Martins completed the night with two digs and a couple of blocks. Camil Martinez, another newcomer from the Dominican Republic, probably had her most consistent effort of the season. The setter had 50 assists, 10 digs, four kills, four big aces and two blocks.
Nicole Sumida was the block leader with four and added six kills. Patty Orozco countered with five slams, two aces, and three blocks. Libero Libby Peigen helped make it a complete win with 19 digs. The sophomore also tied Martinez in the ace department with four.
Emory fought hard and had three players with double-figure kills. Breanah Bourque was best with 14. Alex Duhl followed with 11 and Kate Bowman totaled 10. She also had 11 digs. Sydney Miles was the assist leader with 43.
The rugged schedule continues on Friday and Saturday for coach Hudson's crew. They will host the Lee Showcase, facing No. 3 Columbia College (Mo.) on Friday at 1:45 and challenge No. 1 Texas-Brownsville at 6:15. If that isn't enough, No. 6 Embry-Riddle will be the opponent on Saturday at 2:30.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Overall Experience: Fun, but I missed the real college experience.
D A+F Parking: Everyone lives on campus, so parking does not matter.
B A+F Nightlife: Too many Citadel cadets competing for the same girls.
C A+F Diversity: We have a lot southern pride that causes conflict.
A A+F Facilities: I absolutely love my college. My teachers are always so helpful and intelligent. I am so close with my classmates and we carry each other through our years here at The Citadel. My classes are very close. The campus is beautiful with trees and white/castle-like buildings.
A A+F Facilities: The military atmosphere and structure makes this school extremely different from the rest. The Citadel builds leaders, and we are set apart from our peers at other colleges. The bonds between your classmates here are amazing, and unlike anything a student would experience in a frat/sorority. It is difficult, but very worth the while.
F A+F Nightlife: There are not parties on campus because this is a dry campus. However, this city in downtown Charleston has a great nightlife.
C A+F Transportation: Cadets rely on each other for transporation. Freshmen are not allowed to have cars, but sophomores-seniors may have cars on campus. There are always taxis that you may call, or the Charleston buses are available, and the school has medical transportation from the clinic on campus.
A A+F Scholarships: The Citadel offers many scholarships and the finacial aid office is readily available and helpful. This school is expensive for me (because I am out-of-state) but the school has offered me a few scholarships, and cheap loans.
A A+F Drug Safety: The Citadel randomly drug tests cadets because we have zero toleration for drugs. Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks, and if a cadet is caught, they will be severely punished. Underage drinking is limited by the zero toleration rule to fake ID's. If a cadet is caught with a fake ID, it is considered lying, and the punishment is expulsion.
A A+F Majors: I have never had an internship through the school, but many of my friends have. I have friends who worked in the biology department over the summer doing research. They were paid very well, and the hours were your typical work day (8-5:00). Students who are interested in interning can see the Career Center. They are very readily available and have many connections. Citadel students are more likely to earn a position to intern (on or off campus) because we stand out more to businesses and graduate programs.
A A+F Majors: Although I haven't interned, I will be student teaching in the Fall of 2015. I am majoring in biology with a teaching concentration with plans to be a high school science teacher upon graduation. I am very excited to teach in order to make an impact on our next generation. I am extremely confident I will be able to succeed in this job field because I will be a Citadel alumni. My college has prepared me how to be a selfless servant to others, lead my subordinates, and work well with my peers.
B A+F Greek Life: We don't have a Greek life, but the college is basicially a fraternity, but more powerful. The bonds this school creates are inevitable and unbreakable. We are all brothers and sisters with our Band of Gold.
A A+F Campus Strictness: This is a very strict and disciplined school. We have many guidelines here. The honor code is a large part of why I chose to come to The Citadel. This college creates very honorable men and women.
B A+F Computers: I have my own laptop for my room. However, there are computer labs in the battalions, in each academic building on campus, and in the library. If I didn't have my own computer, I could just use those facilities. I don't have my own printer, so I do use them when I need to print.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Charleston, SC is one of the best cities to live in. There are several colleges around, many shopping centers, tons of restaurants, and so many things to do around downtown Charleston.
A A+F Health & Safety: I have never felt scared, or threatened on campus. It is very safe for families, children, and cadets. I often walk alone to and from classes, or to my battalion when it is late at night. I have never heard of a case where someone felt threatened.
D A+F Campus Dining: The mess hall is open for the corps at 7:15 a.m., noon, and from 5-7:00 pm. The food is just basic military style, and we all eat together.
C A+F Diversity: Women are still not completely accepted within the corps of cadets.
B A+F Campus Housing: I live in a battalion with about 400 cadets. Whenever I need academic help, I have a plethora of cadets to answer my questions.
B A+F Overall Experience: I am a better woman, leader, christian, and friend because of this school. It has been extremely tough, but I will now be ready to face any dilemma life has to offer because of the training The Citadel has offered me.
C A+F Academics: Just like any other university, there are bad professors and good professors. There doesn't seem to be a means to get changes made to academic departments. Most colleges make a maximum credit load on 18 hours. Here the max is 22 and if you aren't taking at least 18 it is strange.
C A+F Academics: Registration here is a drag, athletes take up many of the classes needed by a majority of the school. Less administrators and more professors are needed in order to fill the false claim of a 13:1 ratio of professors to students in class (double that).
B A+F Local Atmosphere: Charleston is an amazing place to live with great food and College of Charleston nearby.
D A+F Scholarships: It is nearly impossible to receive any substantial amount of financial aid after entering as a freshman.

Nine Senators against Publishing the Constitution of Haiti
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012 10:18 AM
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (defend.ht) - The ad hoc group of nine senators who had shunned the ratification meeting of the policy statement of the Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe announced on Tuesday and wrote a letter to President Martelly against the publication of the Constitution of Haiti.
"The process was tainted with irregularities and fraud. The Constitutional Council which should decide can not as it does not exist. Therefore, the amendments are null and void," said the senators who also questioned the legitimacy of the Constitution amended in May 2011.
For these senators, the publication of the amendment would open a new avenue of crises in the country and are calling for a national revival against such a move.
Senator Francesco Delacruz (Centre/Alternative), a member of the 9, recalled that a special commission established by the President recommended that the Constitution not be published.
"The promulgation of this controversial amendment will push the country illegally," said the first senator of the Centre who denounced what he calls gaming interests and international pressure on the issue.
The group plans to visit nine political parties and other organized groups of civil society to draft a petition demanding the resumption of the ongoing constitutional review.
The nine senators also called for the formation of a provisional electoral council instead of the permanent electoral council as required by the Constitution.
For more than 25 years a provisional body has been responsible for organizing elections and the 9 senators request another for the upcoming senatorial, municipal and local elections.
"This interim PEC should be the result of consultations and negotiations between the executive, political parties and civil society to make it credible and free from any suspicion," said Senators Francky Exius (Sud/INITE) and Andris Riche (Grand Anse/Alternative), members of the 9.

The Seton Residential Center on the College of Mount St. Joseph campus has the capacity to house over 500 students in rooms that range from single and double rooms in traditional corridor-style hallways to suites for two, three, or four residents. All undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to live in Seton Center. Although the Seton Residential Center at the College of Mount St. Joseph has been used primarily to house undergraduate students, graduate students have frequently been able to successfully acclimate to our residence area with the right housing arrangements and placement. Some floors and areas have the tendency to draw quieter or older students, so placement in these areas can work well for the graduate student lifestyle.
Room rates
To learn more about the cost of living in the Residence Hall, visit the room rates section of our site.
Off-campus living
The College's housing policy states that all single, full-time, undergraduate students under the age of 21 or having fewer than 59 credit hours completed prior to the first day of class of any given semester, are required to live on campus and participate in a meal program offered by the Mount's food service. Requests to live off campus from freshman and sophomore students who do not meet the above requirements must be approved in advance by the Assistant Dean of Students.
Exceptions are made for students residing with their parents/ legal guardian in the parents'/legal guardian's principal residence within a 35-mile radius of the College campus as determined by an official state map. Students living off campus who fail to meet either of these criteria and do not apply for permission to break their housing contract will be assessed the lowest room and board rates for that semester regardless of whether they complete a housing contract. Questions about the housing policy should be directed to the Office of Residence Life at (513) 244-4304.
Residence Hall Staff
The Residence Hall is staffed with resident assistants located in each section or floor of the building. Resident assistants are student employees trained to assist you with your living experience.
Residence Hall Council
Residence Hall Council is a student organization comprised of residential students that strives to provide quality activities for residents.

Speakers include Dr. Chien-Wei Han, PCC Solar Technologies instructor. Dr. Han will discuss "Community Colleges and Solar Training."
"Pima Community College has an important role to play regarding solar power," says Dr. Han, whose presentation will include an overview of PCC courses in photovoltaic technology and solar water heating. "The more people learn about solar power, the more likely they are to use it and support it."
Other speakers at the event, and their topic of discussion:
- Tom Alston, Solar Outreach and Policy Coordinator for Rep. Giffords' office, "An Overview of Solar Technology and Incentives"
- Karen King, Training Director, Tucson Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program, "Electrical Training Opportunities"

Damn, Game for Windows Live version. Getting DLCs would be cheaper on Steam so I think I'm going to have to pass.
Are you sure it requires it? I did a quick search and found nothing that indicates it's on GFWL, just the cover on Newegg saying "Game for Windows." I've seen that it uses Steamworks, so DLCs are a go, if I'm understanding this correctly.
I'm going to try asking Newegg. I'm shocked they don't list the system requirements. Edit: I'm going to have to remember to call that number tomorrow.
FWIW, Amazon shows the same pic and the reviews point out it uses Steam (9th review down). Additionally, Wiki says the retail Dishonored activates on Steam
I guess I might as well buy it then. It's 66% off compared to Steam and Bethesda would probably say the same anyway. Edit: Order placed.
Steam has Dishonored 50% off ($30) including DLC (Newegg's retail box I think is still going for $20 with coupon--see above). Steam has Farm Simulator 2013 50% off ($14). Steam has Cubemen 2 50% off ($5-6). Humble Weekly Brendo Bundle (pay what you want) for 3 or 4 games. Indie Royale Spring Sun Bundle (minimum ~$5.50) for five games, three albums (minimum $8).
Not seen it cheaper than that, i got it from their and been trying to get in touch with them as the key is invalid.
It's not their fault as they say it's our bank blocking it apparently. But it's kinda odd that it gets payed for we get a key and moments later the key is deactivated.. I believe whats happening is due to the company being based in the UK and being in the USA so same shit when my mother comes over.
I'm sure they already deleted the offending post and warned the person Still patiently waiting for RE6 to go lower than $39 (not including the 20% code).......
The Indii Gala Weekly with some good games. Click on the pic Steam's Weekend Deal Portal games 75% off!
E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy is 50% off ($5) until the 29th: http://store.steampowered.com/app/91700/ It just got its first expansion...and it is free!
Medal of Honor Warfighter $10 on Amazon Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate $7.49 on Steam Mass Effect 3 $8 on GMG w/ "GMG20-GGN5D-FC3NA"
Rockstar Games Weekend: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/rockstarpublisherweekend_lanoire Defense Grid: Awakening 75% off (including DLCs): http://store.steampowered.com/app/18500/
Funny how they sell a GTA pack at 25 euro that includes 2 games that are freeware already for ages: http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/ However, the pack is a bit cheaper than the other gamnes on their own, so that might be a deal to some (not to me, I am done with GTA).
Linkage would have been nice: http://store.origin.com/store/ea/ht...sid=Origin_SHOOTERACTIONPROMO_Web_Hero_BuyNow
Only if Tomb Raider was that price on Steam. I prefer not to use Origin if possible. Does anyone know if the key that Origin gives will activate on Steam?

Tale of Three Chards
Monday, June 27th, 2011Break out of your red wine rut and chill with the Chardonnay of your choice. Chardonnay is a delightful choice for summer sipping—somewhat lighter, softer, and often lower in alcohol content. The three Chardonnays featured here are within the 12.5% to 13.4% range of alcohol by volume. And Chards should be served cold; just so you know.
Starting off big and bold, I selected the Heavyweight Chardonnay 2009 (85% Chardonnay, 10% Dry Chenin Blanc, 5% Marsanne), featuring "Champ" Frankie the Flash on the label. A sip or two of this rich, full-bodied Chardonnay "separates the pretenders from the contenders" proclaims its tasting notes. Filled with light lemony flavors and subtle floral aromas, there's a delicate touch of oak for palate-pleasing pleasure. Heavyweight is vinted and bottled by White Stone Vineyards, Lodi, California; available at CataVinos Wine Shoppe & Tasting Room in Tucson for under $15/bottle.
Rich and elegant, the Woodbridge 2010 Chardonnay by Robert Mondavi (76% Chardonnay, 18% French Colombard, 3% Viognier, and 3% Proprietary blend of aromatic varieties) displays notes of delicious tart green apples and a gentle floral undertone. Nuances of apple pie with autumn spices weave through the fruity aromas and flavors, ending in a light creamy oak finish. Smoother than most Chardonnays I've enjoyed, its mouth-filling richness is balanced with natural acidity—the oak aging enriches this wine's texture and adds just a hint of sweet vanilla and spice. Woodbridge Chardonnay is the perfect choice for sitting and sipping with friends or to pair. Be creative—if you like the food, go for it, there are no rules. Available retail for about $8/bottle.
For a totally different Chardonnay, try the Big House Unchained Naked Chardonnay 2010. No oak here! It's described as "naked as a jaybird" without the confines of oak barrels. Big House veered off the California standard by using stainless steel tank fermentation, allowing the true fruit character of the Chardonnay grape to explode. Green apple and hints of pear on the nose is followed up with vibrant, "criminally" crisp and bright tropical fruit. Perfect with goat cheese or poultry, this unoaked Chardonnay would pair well with scallops, pork tenderloin, roasted chicken, or fresh pasta primavera. Available in both 750ml bottle ($10) and an eco-friendly premium wine cask (equivalent of four bottles) for $22.
Check out an earlier Pour Me Some Grapes blog on flipflop Chardonnay—a medium-bodied winner with creamy, toasted oak notes.
As you can see, Chardonnays can be all over the board with aromas, tastes, and finishes—what better time than these sizzling summer evenings to explore chilled Chards.
Cheers (and keep cool)!

Linda Ronstadt
Arizona native Ronstadt has enjoyed a successful multi-genre career since heading to L.A. with a friend and starting the Stone Poneys. During the '60s, that group had several modestly successful folk-rock albums and one hit single, "Different Drum," penned by Monkee and White-Out heir Mike Nesmith. From there, initially backed by musicians who would go on to become The Eagles, Ronstadt became a multi-platinum interpreter of work by various singer/songwriters, ranging from The Eagles' Henley and Frey to Jagger-Richards, Warren Zevon, and Elvis Costello. When momentum started to wane in the early '80s, she made several cross-genre leaps, to generally good reception: first, an appearance in a Broadway production, and later a movie, of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance," and a series of albums with orchestra conductor Nelson Riddle featuring pre-rock pop standards. Shortly thereafter she returned to her Latin roots with the hit album Canciones de mi Padre, and recorded a country album with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. She continues to work in various styles and makes occasional appearances; an enhanced version of What's New?, her first release with Riddle, was issued in 2002.

Portland Platform Bed
Great Bed Frames
I bought two of these to convert empty kid's rooms to guest rooms. They arrived within a few weeks and took less time to assemble than to unpack. Great quality, all wood, beautiful clean style, made in the USA. Couldn't be happier.
November 19, 2013
Solid American Construction
I was delighted to purchase this bed during a good sale on the site, and am overall very pleased with it. In a universe full of furniture made in China, I felt happy to buy a bed made of American wood. The instructions were simple and the bed itself is SOLID and the improved sleep we've achieved on our now mattress-only sleep station (aka BED) is excellent. My only quibble is, in the king version, two cross supports provided were able to slip sideways when the bed saw some amorous activity. This necessitated taking up the mattress again and re-positioning these cross supports--I gather the second time is a charm as we haven't had any trouble with these moving since. Anyway, I am happy with this purchase and it is a DREAMBOAT, literally.

simple and elegant
I purchased this bed for my teenage son about 3 years ago and it has been perfect in every regard. It is wonderful in any sort of space, roomy, and timeless. I am sure he will take it to college when he goes!
August 28, 2013
Simple, quality bed
I was hesitant to order a bed online without seeing, but this is a quality bed and so easy to put together. Arrived shortly after placing order. I ordered the espresso. My 8-yr old son couldn't be happier. Looks much better than a metal bed frame and there is plenty of room under the bed. Very happy with purchase and quality of wood frame. Made in Maine, USA.
May 16, 2013
Cool Quality Bed
I bought this bed for my son. It is solid, high quality, and very cool looking. I love the simple lines and the smooth wood. Such a great value and again such great QUALITY!
February 9, 2013
Extremely Happy with this Purchase
After much waiting and searching for a great, simple platform bed - we decided on this one and couldn't be happier! Took a bit of time to receive but once it got here, it was so easy to assemble. The bed is sturdy and the wood is gorgeous. Made our old mattress feel much better while we waited for the new one to come in! We would definitely recommend this bed!

We apologize but this bed would not accommodate a twin extra long bed.2 years, 3 months ago
many parts does it come in? Ideally, we are looking for something that comes in parts and we can assemble on the 3rd floor and take apart later if necessary. We want to make sure we can get it to the 3rd floor. Thanks!

Do you have any information about the paint finish used on this bed (looking at the milk white)?
Is it urea formaldehyde-free? Low VOC?

Ahoy All ,,,,, Out here where the Sun sets in the West, Singapore that is ,,,, sanding belts for portable electric belt sanders, have a very short shelf life.
Well it is the diagonal glued joint that deteriorates and older belt joints, just come apart after a minute or two of light use.
The belts that have that reinforced tape over the joint, last a little longer, than the belts that are just glued together.
I need your help to save my slightly used very expensive 3M zircon (green) belts, from the trash can.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to re-connect, D I Y, a delaminated joint on a belt ?
The last straw was when last week I was sanding with a 40 grit Zircon belt , half of the joint gave way , that jamed the belt and that broke the cogged rubber drive belt , on my Bosch 3 X 21 sander.
Not good says I , I do need some Help .

New Learning and Employment Center for disabled veterans launched at Crane
The Department of Workforce Development has joined with several other organizations to help launch a new center to help train disabled veterans.
The department and Lilly Endowment, Inc. have provided grants to the Crane Learning and Employment Center for Veterans with Disabilities. The new center will provide veterans with on-the-job training and educational opportunities through Ivy Tech Community College and Vincennes University. The disabled veterans will serve as apprentices at the Learning and Employment Center and then work full time in their selected field at Crane.
In addition to the funders and educational institutions, other organizations involved in the project include the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Crane Technology Inc. (CTI), and EG&G.
New WIRED Grant to boost Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education
A new effort in North Central Indiana announced last month will boost the number of Hoosiers receiving training in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).
Ivy Tech Community College has received a $3.1 million grant from the state's North Central Workforce Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) initiative, a 14-county partnership of educators, workforce and economic development officials and other leaders working to rebuild the region's economy.
The new program is expected to train an estimated 44,000 people in North Central Indiana over the next five years.
The grant will establish a three-pronged program to encourage and enhance STEM training and education to those who need skill enhancement. The initiative is the culmination of an 18-month effort between Ivy Tech Community College, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, Office of the Governor, and Indiana WIRED. This collaborative effort that will be led by Ivy Tech Community College will engage businesses, workforce service providers, K-12 leaders, and higher education throughout the region. The partners will also work together to foster talent development and promote careers in high-wage high-demand jobs across North Central Indiana.
"This new STEM initiative holds great promise for Indiana's future," said Teresa Voors, commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development. "It will ensure that more and more of our students graduate from high school with the necessary science, technology, engineering, and math competencies so critical for success in the workplace of the 21st Century. We look forward to continuing to work with the WIRED initiative and Ivy Tech as we collaborate on this and other initiatives which help grow our economy and workforce."

New BioCrossroadsLINX initiative advances Indiana's pharmaceutical development industry
Officials from BioCrossroads, Cook Medical, Indiana Department of Workforce Development, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, Ivy Tech Community College, and Purdue University last month announced the launch of BioCrossroadsLINX, a non-profit organization building educational and workforce development programs and regional collaborations. The new initiative is designed to advance Indiana's drug development and manufacturing strengths and help Indiana's biopharma assets connect with biotech discovery centers such as San Diego, San Francisco and Boston.
Outsourcing specific drug discovery and development services is a growing trend in both the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. As a result, there are opportunities for Indiana companies to capitalize on rising demand and to build upon existing strengths. Indiana is one of only a few areas in the United States with a concentration of companies that excel in specialized and sophisticated drug development services such as contract research, contract manufacturing, and logistics. Through these 40+ companies and nearly 7,500 employees, Indiana is uniquely positioned to support both large pharma organizations and smaller biotech companies.
The BioCrossroadsLINX Board includes key members of Indiana's academic, government and industry life sciences partners. Dr. Rutledge will serve as Chairman of the Board. Joining him are: Ken Cornetta, Chair and Professor of the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Indiana University School of Medicine; Nathan Feltman, Secretary of Commerce for the State of Indiana and CEO, Indiana Economic Development Corporation; David Johnson, President & CEO, BioCrossroads; Dan Peterson, Vice President of Industry and Government Affairs, Cook Group; Tom Snyder, President, Ivy Tech Community College; and Teresa Voors, Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Workforce Development.
State urges employers to go online for large scale separations, temporary layoffs
The Department of Workforce Development continues to urge large employers to use a new online initiative for employers designed to speed up the processing and payment of unemployment benefits for individuals laid off as part of a large scale separation or a temporary short term layoff or shut down.
This web-based initiative allows participating employers to pre-enter wage and income information on all employees affected by temporary shut downs. When a listed employee enters his or her social security number to file a claim, all of the data items associated with the layoff, such as last day worked, wage information and employer data will automatically be filled in for the employee's claim. The employee will only need to fill in a small amount of data associated with the claim.
WorkOne Employment Centers to offer digital literacy skills
Digital literacy skills are increasingly needed to find jobs, apply for jobs, and move up to better paying jobs.
To help address this, WorkOne Employment Centers in eight of the state's eleven workforce regions will soon be offering digital literacy classes to provide Indiana residents with basic skills in computers.
The Indiana Department of Workforce Development recently provided competitive grants in eight regions for participating WorkOne Centers to pilot "Just in Time" basic computer classes. The WorkOne sites will offer self-paced computer classes in computer labs to help build basic computer skills in Hoosiers who currently lack them. The workforce regions participating in the program are: Center of Workforce Innovations (Northwest Indiana); Workforce Development Group (South Bend region); Partners for Workforce Solutions (Northeast Indiana); River Valley Resources (Central Indiana); Alliance for Strategic Growth, Inc. (East Central Indiana); Workforce Network, Inc., (West Central Indiana); and Workforce Development Associates Inc. (Southeast Indiana).
For more information on the digital literacy classes, contact a WorkOne Center in the eight participating regions.
IPIC Launches BioWorksU life science career-exploration Web site
The Indianapolis Private Industry Council has launched BioworksU.com, a new interactive Web site that features games, experiments and other experiences to introduce young people from fourth grade to young adulthood to exciting careers in the high-demand life sciences industry.
The Web site is the first in the country to offer games and activities to entice young people to consider high-demand careers in the life sciences. It is set in a virtual university to emphasize the necessity of higher education to achieve the skilled occupations featured on the site and to reward the student with a "degree" when he or she has accumulated enough game credits. The site takes the student through a series of "buildings," "laboratories" and other resources to learn about careers, the work that each entails and the education needed to achieve them.
IPIC, which is the principal workforce development agency for Marion County, oversaw the project, which involved partners from a number of health care facilities and research companies.
Partners included Dow AgroSciences LLC; Roche Diagnostics; St. Vincent Health and its affiliate, St. John's Health System in Anderson; Wishard Health Services; the Indiana University School of Science - Biology Department; and the IU School of Dentistry.
BioWorksU.com has been under construction for nearly two years, when IPIC received a $1 million U.S. Department of Labor grant to address the shortage of skilled health care workers, the lack of capacity in Central Indiana to train health care workers, and the imminent need for skilled workers in the region's growing biotechnology industry.

New occupational codes application at DWD
A new application launched recently on the DWD Web site will make it easier for career and occupational professionals to select and find occupational titles and help Hoosiers find jobs. The new application uses a new graphical interface to help individuals using the federal O*NET system better navigate the array of occupational codes used throughout the workforce system.
The O*NET system serves as the nation's primary source of occupational information, providing comprehensive information on key attributes and characteristics of workers and occupations. Central to the project is the O*NET database, containing information on hundreds of standardized and occupation-specific descriptors.
Occupational codes are the thread that ties education, training, job seeker skills and employer requirements together. The target audience for the new application includes the K-12 educational system, colleges and technical schools, training providers, job seekers, and employers.
The US Dept of Labor provided grants to the states in 2005 to update their state applications and integrate to the new O*NET system, which replaced prior occupational classification systems formerly supported by the US DOL. Indiana has tried to make the system more user-friendly, by developing graphics to steer a customer through the coding trees to find the correct job family. The traditional customer-based self service approach often resulted in inaccurate information or required staff assistance.
Early indication of the state's graphical approach has been positive. The normal search time of several minutes has been reduced to a few seconds in many cases. More importantly, the accuracy improved dramatically. The use of graphics provided a universal way of displaying occupations that proved to be familiar and comfortable to users, reduced the reading requirement and improved the opportunities for making right choices quickly.

WIRED forum boosts regional leadership
The North Central Wired initiative recently sponsored a forum aimed at developing the region's leadership and to better connect assets across organizational and political boundaries. The forum also discussed where Indiana WIRED has been and where it is headed, and on the critical role civic leadership plays in guiding the region's economic transformation.
WIRED is a federal initiative designed to energize the nation's economy through regional economic development partnerships and work force education and training. The program, funded at $15 million over three years, combines the business, civic and educational resources of 14 Indiana counties - Benton, Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Fountain, Fulton, Howard, Miami, Montgomery, Tippecanoe, Tipton, Wabash, Warren, and White - along with the region's colleges and universities and other key organizations.
In 2006 the U.S. Department of Labor awarded a grant to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, which tapped Purdue University to oversee the Indiana North Central WIRED project.
Hire a veteran job fair this month
More than 50 companies and organizations will participate in a central Indiana job fair November 7 designed to help Indiana veterans find meaningful employment, officials from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development have announced.
The Indiana veteran's job fair is one of more than 100 nationwide that will be held between October 23 and November 15 under the auspices of the HireVetsFirst campaign, an initiative of the United State's Department of Labor.
The Indiana job fair is scheduled for Wednesday, November 7 at the Valle Vista Golf Club and Conference Center, 755 E. Main Street in Greenwood from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
State and local economic and workforce development officials gathered in Connersville October 24 to celebrate the grand opening of the new Fayette County WorkOne Express office. The new office is located at 710 Eastern Avenue. Office hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The telephone number is 765/825-8659.

Prop 32: The Billionaires' Bill of Rights By Dick Meister August 22, 2012 http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/prop-32-billionaires-bill-rights Billionaire corporate interests and other well financed anti-labor forces are waging a major drive to stifle the political voice of workers and their unions in California that is certain to spread nationwide if not stopped - and stopped now. At issue is a highly deceptive measure, Proposition 32, on the November election ballot, that its anti- labor sponsors label as an even-handed attempt to limit campaign spending. But actually, it would limit - and severely - only the spending of unions while leaving corporations and other moneyed special interests free to spend as much as they like. Unions would be prohibited from making political contributions with money collected from voluntary paycheck deductions authorized by their members, which is the main source of union political funds. But there would be no limits on corporations, whose political funds come from their profits, their customers or suppliers and the contributions of corporate executives. Nor would there be any limit on the political spending of the executives or any other wealthy individuals. What's more, corporate special interests and billionaires could still give unlimited millions to secretive "Super PACs" that can raise unlimited amounts of money anonymously to finance their political campaigns. The proposition would have a "devastating impact" on unions, notes Professor John Logan, director of labor and employment studies at San Francisco State University. As he says, it would likely all but eliminate political spending by unions while greatly increasing political spending by business interests and wealthy individuals. Anti-labor interests are already outspending unions nationwide by a ratio of more than $15 for every $1 spent by unions. Between 2000 and 2011, that amounted to $700 million spent by anti-labor forces, while unions spent just a little more than $284 million. Proposition 32 would even restrict unions in their communications with their own members on political issues. That's because money raised by payroll deductions pays for the preparation and mailing of communications to union members, including political materials. Unfortunately, there's even more - much more -to Proposition 32. It also would prohibit unions from making contributions to political parties and defines public employee unions as "government contractors" that would be forbidden from attempting to influence any government agency with whom they have a contract. That restriction applies not only to unions. It also would cover political action committees established by any membership organization, "any agency or employee representation committee or plan," such as those seeking stronger civil rights or environmental protections. Proposition 32 seeks to weaken, that is, any membership group which might seek reforms opposed by wealthy individuals or corporations and their Republican allies. It's no wonder the measure is actively opposed, not only by organized labor, but also by the country's leading good-government groups, including Common Cause and the League of Women Voters. Yet the proposition's sponsors have the incredible gall to bill their measure as genuine campaign finance reform. They obviously hope that claim, which Common Cause accurately describes as a "laughable deception," will win over the many voters who have been demanding reforms and who, in their eagerness, will fail to recognize the measure's true nature. "This is not genuine campaign finance reform," as San Francisco State's John Logan says, "but a bill of rights for billionaires." The losers would include teachers, nurses, police, firefighters and other union members and those who benefit from the essential services they provide - students, the elderly, and the ailing, the poverty stricken, those who work and live in unsafe conditions and other needy citizens, and consumers, environmentalists and others who also are neglected by the profit-chasing corporate interests that dominate political and economic life. Make no mistake: Lots of money is being funneled into the Proposition 32 campaign by some of the same wealthy backers who bankrolled such anti- labor efforts as the campaign that blocked the massive attempt to recall virulently anti-labor GOP Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin this year. Should the anti-union forces also prevail, it will undoubtedly lead to what Logan says "will promote a tsunami of ballot initiatives in 2013 at the local level and in 2014 at the state level designed to drive down working conditions in both the public and private sectors." Logan adds, "Lacking the ability to oppose these reactionary measures under the new election rules, California's workers could soon face the weakest labor standards in the country". But if the measure is rejected, it "may slow the momentum behind other attempts to increase the corrosive impact of money in politics." It's true that some states already have laws and regulations seriously limiting labor's influence. But it's certain that victory by the anti-labor forces in California will slow any attempts at reform in other states and lead as well to attempts to impose anti- union measures elsewhere, as well as expanding those that already exist. The stakes are huge. If the 1 percent have their way in California, the country's largest state, other states are certain to follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dick Meister is a San Francisco-based columnist who has covered labor and politics for more than a half-century as a reporter, editor, author and commentator.

Document versioning with Subversion and OOoSVN
Even if you are not a programmer, you've probably heard of Subversion, a powerful tool for managing changes to software projects. Although Subversion is designed primarily for software developers, it can be useful to mere mortals as well.
Subversion is a so-called version control system, which means it allows users to track changes to files. Many users do not realize you can use Subversion as a versioning tool for ordinary user files, such as word processing
documents. Subversion also allows you to compare different versions of a document and roll back to a previous version. The tool is file-type agnostic, which means it can handle any file you throw at it – plain text files, Writer documents, spreadsheets, PNG graphics – and other common file types you will find on your Linux system.

A Fayetteville man out on bail on a murder charge was arrested Tuesday after violating the terms of his pretrial release, according to court documents.
Demetrius A. Hammonds, 21, of the 2600 block of Belhaven Road, is accused of taking unauthorized leaves, an arrest warrant said.
Hammonds was one of five people charged in October 2011 in the murder of 19-year-old Guy Mitchell.
Mitchell was killed with a shotgun at his home on the 800 block of Rembrandt Drive off Rim Road, police have said.
Hammonds, who also was charged with first-degree burglary and conspiracy, was jailed without bail when he was first arrested.
A judge would have lowered the bond in court to allow Hammonds to be released while awaiting trial.
Hammonds is a member of the So Ratchet gang in the Gray's Creek community and is listed as a student at Fayetteville Technical Community College, according to arrest documents.
Hammonds bail is now set at $250,000, documents said.

text: 000 FXUS63 KILX 071747 AFDILX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1147 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 1037 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2013 See no need for significant changes to the ongoing forecast. Canadian high pressure centered over the northern plains will drift east today. Dry and cold conditions will persist. 12z KILX sounding, LAMP, and 12z NAM support current forecasted temps. Barker && .AVIATION... ISSUED 1147 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2013 High pressure dominates area terminals through early this evening with gradual shift from north wind to light east as high center passes to our north. A weak wave rotating through western U.S. trough will produce some isentropic lift over the area late tonight and Sunday. Falling ceilings should develop after 06z with precip possible at KSPI and KDEC prior to the end of valid time of this TAF issuance. Big question is as to the type of precip. Forecasts soundings showing little in way of ice crystal formation and suggest that precip may include freezing drizzle or light freezing rain in addition to light snow. For now will include a tempo group with a mix after 15z at KSPI and 16z at KDEC. Expect more refinement in later TAFs as more certianty as to precip type resolves itself. Barker && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 220 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2013 Just some lingering altocumulus across the far southeast CWA early this morning, otherwise clear skies in place as large 1043 mb high over southeast South Dakota oozes eastward. Pressure gradient has stayed up enough to keep winds around 10 mph in many areas, with wind chills a few degrees either side of zero early this morning despite most temperatures still 10-15. Core of the brutal cold still off to the northwest, with temps as low as the -20s in parts of the eastern Dakotas and western Minnesota. Aside from the extended cold snap, the main forecast concern involves precipitation types for Sunday. SHORT TERM...Today through Monday: The high will slowly weaken as it moves east into the Great Lakes later tonight. Temperatures will likely struggle to reach 20 degrees today, especially over the southeast with the fresh deep snow cover. Shortwave currently digging over northern California will begin swinging eastward later today, then lift northeast into the upper Mississippi Valley Sunday evening. Weak warm air advection will result in early evening lows, with steady or rising temperatures overnight. May see a bit of snow spreading in from the south very late tonight as isentropic lift increases, but main precipitation event still looks to be Sunday into early Sunday evening. Forecast soundings are largely indicating snow, with perhaps some sleet or freezing rain in the far southeast. Drying from the top down would suggest a transition to some freezing drizzle or snow grains before ending. A general half to 1 inch of snow appears likely over the CWA, highest across the northwest which will be closest to the track of the upper wave. System should rapidly pull northeast Sunday night/Monday as another large high builds eastward. Fast moving disturbance potentially may produce a bit of snow Monday night, but have limited to slight chances for now. LONG TERM...Tuesday through Friday: Longer range guidance showing another push of Arctic air southward around mid week into the Northern Plains, pushing east across the Great Lakes. This will keep highs well below freezing through Thursday. Some indications of a pattern change later in the week, as split upper flow starts to converge over the mid-Mississippi Valley. This could actually push our temperatures above freezing by Friday. Geelhart && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && $$
