More:FY 2012 State and USAID - Core Budget | FY 2012 State and USAID - Overseas Contingency Operations
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton testified today before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs. The Secretary said:
"...I want to join my voice to those of the Chairwoman, who has made it very clear that the American people have a right to be justifiably concerned about our national debt. I am, too. But I know that we have so many tough decisions that we're facing right now, that the American people also want us to be smart about the decisions we make and the investments that we are making in the future. Just two years ago, I asked that we renew our investment in development and diplomacy, and we are seeing tangible results.
"...The FY 2012 budget is a budget that will allow us to continue pressing forward. We think it is a lean budget for lean times. I launched the first-ever Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review to help us maximize the impact of every dollar. We scrubbed this budget and we made painful but responsible cuts. We cut economic assistance to Central and Eastern Europe, to the Caucasus, to Central Asia. We cut development assistance to over 20 countries by more than half.
"This year, for the first time, our request is divided into two parts: Our core budget request is $47 billion for the State Department and USAID. That supports programs and partnerships in every country but North Korea, and it is essentially flat from 2010 levels.
"The second part of our request funds the extraordinary, temporary portion of our war effort the same way the Pentagon's request is funded: in a separate Overseas Contingency Operations account known as OCO. Instead of covering war expenses through supplemental appropriations, we are now taking a more transparent approach that fully reflects the integrated civilian-military efforts. Our share of the President's $126 billion request for exceptional wartime costs is $8.7 billion. So all told, we have a $47 billion operational account and an $8.7 billion Overseas Contingency Operations account.
"...I know that 2011 is a tough time. And I sent Chairman Rogers a letter. I've spoken to Speaker Boehner. It will be very difficult for us as we are now planning our civilian efforts in an ongoing way in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to absorb a 16 percent cut that passed the House last month. We've got to do our part with the military. And I know that what is often the case is we talk about non-defense discretionary. And of course, that leaves out State and USAID. It includes the Department of Homeland Security. It includes Veterans and includes Defense. But here we are; I've got diplomats and development experts in Helmand Province, I've got them going in with the Marines into Kandahar, I've got them trying to figure out how we're going to have a strong, robust presence in Iraq to stand against Iran and to support that Iraqi Government. We cannot plan what we are expected to do if we can't get the budget for '11 that we have premised the planning on.
"Now, finally, I know how tough these decisions are. I was here in the '90s, not in this capacity, and I saw the difficult decisions we made then which put us on a path to having balanced budgets, surpluses, and frankly, being on the road to actually balancing our budget; 9/11 happened, a lot of other things happened in the following years. We are trying to get ourselves back on a strong fiscal footing. Unfortunately, the world hasn't stopped while we do that. And so as I look at the challenges for global leadership from the United States, I know we are tempted to try to step back from these obligations. But every time we've done that, it's come back and hit us right square between the eyes. We left Afghanistan after we pushed the Soviet Union out, and now we're paying a terrible price for that.
"Generations of Americans have grown up successful and safe because we've stepped up. We think that in the world today we have more than we can say grace over, but we are positioned to try to deal with it. And we cannot do it unless we remember that our national security depends not just on defense, but on diplomacy and development working together unlike anything we've ever done historically today, to really deliver on America's security, our interests, and our values. Thank you."

The Art Major
We are constantly surrounded by visual stimuli, but we rarely take time to reflect on them or participate in their creation. Art courses offer a chance to do both. If, as Abbe Dubes claims, "The first purpose of art is to touch us," a study of visual principles and the cultural and historical contexts for art production can deepen our responses and strengthen our ability to connect with others through original creations.
Art is a means of problem solving, a way of knowing, a unique form of communication, one of the ways in which human beings are distinct from other species. Art can be a powerful means of creating empathy and communicating truth. The art major prepares the student to develop a clear personal expression as a visual artist in a chosen medium. Students will also demonstrate technical skill and the ability to evaluate and critique their own work as well as the work of other artists.
The Art Minor
An Art minor was designed to serve two populations- those who want to earn the minor simply because they enjoy creativity, and those who may benefit by combining it with a major. Creativity is an intangible skill that can serve professionals well once out in their intended fields.
Communication majors who desire more exploration of courses beyond their Visual Studies track (photography, film, video) might want to consider additional exploration of art history, theory and techniques.
Languages and Literature majors could also benefit from an Art minor, since it would serve as a visual parallel to intensive study of the great literary works. It would also complement foreign language study and offer yet another vehicle to expand cross-cultural understanding.
Students in health-related fields may also want to consider an Art minor. Occupational Therapists already use various artistic methods (i.e., painting and drawing) to help their clients master certain physical skills. An Art minor would provide these majors with additional artistic skills and knowledge.
The above list is by no means exhaustive. These are just some of the many combinations possible with the Art minor and other major fields of study available at St. Scholastica.

I eat this for breakfast every day before I hit the gym. I eat a clean bulk all year round, so I seldom eat something that I actually genuinely enjoy. As far as I know, I invented this myself. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, all because of this.
-2 frozen bananas.
-150g eggwhites.
-1 x Scoop of protein powder. (+/- 30g)
- 1 x Tbsp. Natural peanut butter.
Basically stick it all in the blender. It has a nice smooth but thick texture. Also, it's cold, so it kickstarts your metabolism first thing in the morning.
I sprinkle 50g of porridge oats over it when it's prepared. It has a hefty dose of protein. Personally, I like to put casein in mine because the pasteurized eggwhites are raw, and therefore act as fast digesting proteins whereas the casein gives a steady amino release throughout my workout.
Let me know if you like it guys.

Tycoon Lake Fishing Map (252 KB)Enhanced Tycoon Lake Fishing Map (307 KB)
Directions to Tycoon Lake (via mapquest)
HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION Land acquisition for the construction of Tycoon Lake began in 1957 and was completed in 1960. Construction of two earthen dams across an old channel of Raccoon Creek was completed in 1960 and fish were stocked the following year. The lake was constructed for recreational purposes. Tycoon Lake lies within the 684-acre Tycoon Lake Wildlife Area. The area surrounding Tycoon Lake is gently rolling to hilly. Most of the uplands surrounding Tycoon Lake are forested with some brushland/open areas present as well as some wetlands. Tycoon Lake is relatively shallow; maximum depth is 18 feet. There are numerous tree stumps along the north shoreline that attract fish as well as some old fence rows that were present prior to impoundment.
FISH OF INTEREST TO ANGLERS Tycoon Lake is well known for its high quality largemouth bass population. An 18-inch minimum length limit is in place to take advantage of excellent growth potential. Largemouth bass are present in good numbers and are above average in size. Bluegill are the most abundant sunfish though redear sunfish are present in smaller numbers. Channel catfish yearlings are stocked on an alternate year basis. They are present in good numbers and are above average in size. A decent population of white crappie are present and are popular during the early spring.
METHODS OF FISHING AND BEST FISHING SITES Better largemouth bass fishing can be found in the spring and fall. As springtime water temperatures warm up, bass will move into shallow water areas to feed and to prepare for spawning. Fish near shallow structure such as tree stumps, standing timber, or weed bed edges. Spinnerbaits, rubber worms, crankbaits, and jig/pig combinations work well. Warm summer water temperatures will usually push fish deeper or into weedbed areas. Fishing during the early morning hours or in the evening will provide better results. Cooler, fall temperatures will trigger bass to move back in the shallow water areas. Fishing success may pick up as bass prepare for winter.
Bluegill can be caught throughout the lake from early spring until fall. Popular methods include wax worms or redworms fished below a bobber. Look for spawning beds in shallow water during the spring and throughout the summer. Many bluegill can be found concentrated in these areas.
Channel catfish angling picks up by mid-June. Night crawlers, chicken livers, or prepared catfish baits work well when fished on the bottom. Night fishing for catfish is a popular method for catfish anglers.
Crappie angling is best in the early spring. Fishing near shoreline structure with a minnow and bobber is a productive technique.
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES A concrete boat ramp is located off Tycoon Road. Adjacent to the boat ramp is a handicapped accessible fishing pier. In the same general area, primitive camping is available on a first come, first served basis in the designated campground. Camping is prohibited elsewhere. Tycoon Lake is electric motor only.
FISH OHIO Anglers who catch a big fish should enter their prize fish in the Fish Ohio angler recognition program. A fish qualifies for an award if it meets the minimum size requirement set for the Fish Ohio program. Applications are available online at FishOhio.org.
FISH MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES The Division of Wildlife's fish management activities include stocking, population monitoring with nets, electrofishing surveys, creel census, felling trees, and preparing Christmas tree piles to act as fish attractors. Additionally, fish management personnel conduct general water quality analyses. A continuing check of water quality and fish populations is vital in determining the management practices necessary to produce quality fish for the public.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Questions and inquiries can be directed to Wildlife District Four, 360 East State Street, Athens, Ohio 45701 telephone 740-589-9930. To get other maps or publications call toll free 1-800-WILDLIFE.
TURN IN A POACHER Ohio's TIP, "Turn In a Poacher," program is helping curtail poaching throughout the state. TIP is designed to involve the public in reporting wildlife violations. Citizens who observe wildlife violations should call the TIP toll-free hotline, 1-800-POACHER.

I have MAC MINI (Serial #G87221GMWOD), MODELIDENTIFIER "macmini1,1", (1.83 GHz), Intel Core Duo, 2 cores, 2 GB.
I currently have one monitor. a ViewSonic

Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off

I would like to add another monitor similar to my current ViewSonic, except for a larger display (22").
As I am not technically inclined, not to mention I'm 81 years old, I would appreciate your information as to how to setup/attach the new monitor to my current setup. The end result being that both monitors display the same information.
I appreciate and thank you for any assistance may be able to pass along to me.

Display wont let me output 1680x1050 to it through the Mini DisplayPort.
My LG Flatron L227WTG display won't accept it's full resolution of 1680x1050 when it comes from the mini DisplayPort (VGA). It WILL accept 1440 resolution, but not the 1680. I see no problems with the mini DVI port on my old MacBook.

Fact Sheet Vaccinations and HIVOctober 15, 2012
What Are Vaccinations?Vaccinations, or immunizations, are treatments that build up your body's defenses against certain infections. For example, many people get flu shots each fall. It can take a few weeks for your immune system to respond after a vaccination. Most vaccines are used to prevent infections. However, others help your body fight an infection that you already have. These are called "therapeutic vaccines." See Fact Sheet 480 for more information on therapeutic vaccines and HIV. Vaccines can have side effects. With live vaccines, you might get a mild case of the disease. With inactivated vaccines, you could have pain, redness, and swelling where you got the shot. You might also briefly feel weakness, fatigue, or nausea. What's Different for People With HIV?If HIV has damaged the immune system, it might not respond as well to a vaccine, or for the same length of time. If you will soon start antiretroviral therapy (see Fact Sheet 403) you may have a better response if you wait until your viral load is controlled and your CD4 count (see Fact Sheet 124) increases. Vaccines might cause more side effects in people with HIV. They might even cause the disease they are designed to prevent. There has not been much research on vaccines and people with HIV, especially since people started using combinations of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). However, there are a few key guidelines for people with HIV:
HIV-positive people should not receive most live vaccines (see below) including chickenpox (varicella) or smallpox vaccine. Do not get these vaccines unless your health care provider agrees that it is safe for you. Avoid close contact with anyone who got a "live" vaccination in the past 2 or 3 weeks. Still, the "MMR" vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella is considered safe if your CD4 cell count is over 200. Which Vaccinations Are Recommended?
HIV-Positive TravelersEvery traveler with HIV should be sure they are vaccinated against hepatitis A and B. Countries have different vaccination requirements for entry. In general, inactivated vaccines should not be a problem for travelers with HIV. However, they should avoid live vaccines, including yellow fever and vaccinia (smallpox). If polio or typhoid vaccines are required, they should be the inactivated versions, not the live versions. Instead of getting a live vaccine, people with HIV should get a health care provider's letter explaining that they have a medical reason not to be vaccinated. This is accepted by most countries.

What to do with the Linux kernel
Kernel Hacks
If you get right down to it, the Linux kernel is the real Linux. This month we focus on tools for tuning and tailoring the kernel.
The kernel is the brain at the center of your Linux system. This month we examine some techniques for managing and customizing the Linux kernel. We start with an in-depth article by Knoppix creator (and Linux Magazine columnist) Klaus Knopper on building, upgrading, and customizing the kernel. Linux sound expert Dave Phillips weighs in with a look at how to tune the kernel for multimedia apps, and the final article in the set examines some popular Linux optimization tools. If you are ready to step up your kernel configuration game, read on for some practical Linux kernel hacks. But first, we asked Kernel News author Zack Brown to provide a little background on how that code in the kernel got to your hard drive.
Development Process
The Linux kernel development process is a fascinating system that is itself undergoing constant revision. Before Linux, although free software licenses existed, the projects that used them maintained a very strict ivory-tower approach to development, ignoring the contributions of others on the grounds that only experts in the field could understand the coding problems well enough to produce a good result. Linus Torvalds' approach stood this idea on its head by making the outlandish assumption that meaningful contributions could come from anyone, almost regardless of skill level. Because of this approach, the old free software projects like libc had to adapt or risk being forked into competing projects that would do much better with an increased developer base.
Ultimately, as the project leader, Linus has the final word on kernel contributions and the development process itself. But like all open source projects, he is subject to the willingness of the other developers to go along with his decisions. Kernel development, like all free software projects, can be contentious, and large schisms can erupt between developers with different ideas about how to do things. Some open source projects can get so divisive that one developer forks the entire code base and continues development with whichever other contributors care to follow.
How does kernel development take place today? To begin with, the development community supports several mailing lists, the primary one being linux-kernel, which you can read about at http://www.tux.org/lkml. Every release of the kernel also includes a MAINTAINERS file in the documentation directory, which lists everyone officially responsible for a portion of the kernel, along with the mailing lists relevant to that portion. Each mailing list is (or should be) a place you can post to without subscribing. The people who reply will CC you in their responses. This arrangement is all part of the original idea of encouraging contributions from everyone. You don't have to be deeply involved in kernel development or any particular area of kernel development, in order to make a contribution. All you need is the source code and a desire to help.
The mailing lists are the primary means of communication between kernel developers. Programmers make proposals, submit and discuss patches, debate controversies, and announce new releases of various projects, including the kernel itself. But the MAINTAINERS file is only the start of the process. The developers maintain several kernel forks, each designed with the ultimate goal of feeding their differences back into the primary kernel. With the recent arrival of the of the Git code management system (developed by Linus and a number of other kernel developers), it is now possible for groups of developers to develop their own common fork, before feeding the changes upstream to Linus.
Signing Off
Depending on the part of the kernel you're working on, and the maintainer you contact, that maintainer will sign off on your patch and submit it to one of the public trees. Once there, the patch will be tested by a wider audience. When you first post your patch, the only people who actually test it are the people who actually take the trouble to apply the patch by hand to one of their kernel trees. Once in one of the public trees, the patch will be at least marginally tested by anyone who downloads and tries out that tree. Some trees are more popular than others. Andrew Morton's -mm tree is actually the kernel of choice for various developers, who run it regularly on their home systems.
Several years ago, the community developed the concept of kernel lieutenants – an inner circle of experienced developers who Linus trusts to send only good, solid patches. The idea of a lieutenant is more of a useful idea than any kind of formal arrangement. Some folks who do consistently good work tend to be able to get their submissions in faster, and they tend to be the people Linus would prefer the various maintainers route certain patches through. These essentially social relationships between Linus and the lieutenants further reduce the bottleneck of Linus having to review every single patch. Although these lieutenants are a legitimate part of kernel development process, the few times anyone has posted to the mailing list asking for a list of Linus' lieutenants, the request was not taken very seriously, because no such formal designation exists. It's just a small group of people who seem to work well with the patches.
If your patch is more than just a fix – for instance, if it is a new driver or some other discrete part of the kernel, you might also consider submitting a patch to the MAINTAINERS file and adding yourself as the official maintainer. No one has the official task of identifying maintainers and adding them to the list; it is up to the contributors themselves to take responsibility for their portion of the code. In some cases, the question of maintainership is obvious. If you wrote the driver and plan to maintainer it, go ahead and list yourself as the maintainer. If someone has abandoned maintainership of something, or if you suspect they have, and you want to maintain the project in their place, the best thing to do is to ask them, or ask on the mailing list. Someone with authority over that part of the kernel will probably get right back to you. In some cases, maintainership is handed over directly via public announcement after the current maintainer has completed a private search for a replacement.
The maintainer's obligation is fairly fluid. A maintainer might do most of the coding personally or simply act as a custodian of the code, primarily accepting patches by other people. About the only requirement is that a maintainer should always keep their entry in the MAINTAINERS file up to date and respond to emails, even if it's to say that they don't do much work on the project anymore and would like to find a replacement.

Cathleen A. Olson, Aesthetician; Edina Skin Care Specialists, Minneapolis, Minn.
As an aesthetician, I recognize the importance of smart skin care choices—and that means adhering to the same routine that I recommend to my patients. Just like the rest of the body, our skin requires daily maintenance. It's important to use products on a daily basis that can effectively hydrate, protect and help improve collagen production. By preventing the signs of aging and treating existing damage, we can make a significant impact in the health of our skin.

Men will not want to settle down or stay with one woman for several reasons. Even after he's decided to commit, there are basically three reasons why he might look at another woman: you, him, or the other woman.
Part of what this implies is that to win or keep your man, you must really know yourself – part 1 of the equation. And, that includes your flaws, your weaknesses, and mistakes.Got Facebook or Twitter?

Philadelphia is no longer safe. That's because Fright Factory, a house of charnel horrors featured as one of America's scariest Halloween attractions on the Travel Channel, is reopening the portal to its haunted attractions from September 27 to November 2. The sinister site traps unsuspecting guests within four distinct settings, including a lab filled with horrible genetic aberrations, a mausoleum fallen into moldering disrepair, a mutinous asylum, and a physical manifestation of fear itself.
Philadelphia's historic cobblestone streets, landmarks, and old buildings can take on an eerie aura in the moonlight, the perfect backdrop for the guides of Spirits of '76 Ghost Tour to tell tales of the city's dark past. Developed by historical experts at The Constitutional Walking Tour, the Spirits of '76 Ghost Tour traverses Old City, stopping at more than 20 sites, such as the Physick House, Library Hall, and City Tavern. At these destinations, guides cloaked in black and carrying lanterns share stories that weave together a narrative of both reported hauntings and folklore. They tell tales of ghostly visitors that range from soldiers to historical figures such as John Barry, who constantly tries to explain to people who he was. Strolling past some of the city's oldest cemeteries and graveyards, tourists may spot out-of-the-ordinary shapes, such as free-floating orbs.
American Sailing Tours, featured on Wheretraveler.com, loads citizens onto the good ship Summer Wind for relaxation and education on the Delaware River. The jolly crew handles all the hatch-battening, jib-cutting, and barnacle frying on each excursion. Meanwhile seafarers learn about the Delaware's contributions to Philadelphia history on the History Sail, which embarks once per day, six mornings a week. Customers on the Tropical Sail tap sea-toes to the beat of beach music from the Caribbean, New Orleans, and New Margaritaville two or three times a day depending on the time of year; check the online schedule for an idea of departure dates and times.
DeTours' guides shepherd motorized travelers through the city's bustling heart while sharing historical tidbits about local buildings and landmarks. After a 30-minute training session to acclimate new segway riders, groups of up to six explorers embark on sightseeing expeditions that include visits to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, best known for their prominent placement on early postage stamps. Afternoon voyagers explore a four-mile track of the city in an hour and a half, and morning sightseers enjoy an extended three-hour, 6.5-mile route that runs along the Schuylkill River as far north as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. On all tours, raconteurish guides recount the history of notable attractions such as the Betsy Ross House, Chinatown, and the Walnut Street Theatre, which has remained in its current location for more than 200 years, predating the invention of walnuts.
Sunlight and moonbeams glimmer on Philadelphia harbor, where The Ben Franklin Yacht glides silently to reveal a new perspective on the cradle of American democracy and replicate the freedom of the open ocean. Recently refurbished, the modern vessel hosts up to 300 guests in long, low decks whose mirrored ceilings flood the space with reflected light and expose pirates who have "Mom" tattoos hidden in their bald spots. A wooden dance floor and bar fuel parties, and knowledgeable guides propel discussion about the city's history from the breezy top deck. The port of departure is within walking distance of other famed sights, such as the Liberty Bell, Constitution Center, and the cherry tree from which George Washington famously crafted his wooden wig. Boarding begins approximately 30 minutes prior to each excursion.
The eclectic organizers at Red Frog Events take a lighthearted and fun-focused approach to building their adventurous events, such as obstacle courses, scavenger hunts, and themed bar crawls, to connect city dwellers with local neighborhoods. Their creative, interactive offerings include regularly occurring competitions such as the Warrior Dash, Great Urban Race, and Beach Dash, the proceeds from which usually benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Like the idea of having a pet rock, their events have grown more popular annually, and frequently spring up in cities across the United States.

My mom had a yorkie with us and it was very welcome at Barrington. Staff was great and took care of us to the best of their ability on our time schedule since we don't let anyone in our room when we have our pet with us. They cleaned what needed to be cleaned while we were there and that helped us protect our pet as well as the staff since our yorkie is 10 ft tall and bulletproof and thinks she can eat the world up. HA! Great place to stay.
Was expecting a little more grass since the Barrington was pet friendly but we survived and would not let that stop us from staying again.
Nice hotel, very comfortable. Great location for getting around to the different shows and shopping venues. Comfortable beds, and very clean.
There was a weird smell in the lobby area when you walked in. And the breakfast crew could have been more friendly.
The price was really good, it was clean and very nice. I really enjoyed the pool and breakfast
I cut my leg on a nail that was sticking out of the chair. I called the front desk and the manager came and removed the chair and gave me a band aid but didn't offer me a discount on the room since my leg was sliced and bleeding.
Very clean in all areas. The room was adequate for our needs. The beds were comfortable. We had our 5 year old grandson with us & he enjoyed the breakfast bar which was ok.
A bit noisey as other guests were leaving their rooms & letting the doors slam shut, I also noticed one of the cleaners doing the same thing. Air conditioning in the room was a bit noisey.
Location Cleanliness Attentive Staff
Always clean and affordable. Enjoy the breakfast!
Nice pillows on the beds! Breakfast included and was okay.
Needed rollaway, but none available (and had requested one through Booking.com a couple weeks prior.) So had to scrunch 5 people into 2 beds.
The place was very clean, which I loved. The room service was wonderful. Every day we came back to a spotless room which was restocked each day. The pool was great. Clean.
The breakfast was just okay. We stayed for 4 days and having the same exact breakfast every morning got old quick. Wish the hours for breakfast were extended also. We came in late each night and enjoyed sleeping in, but missed breakfast when we did.
When offerd the King bed ove 2 queen beads I chose the King, Was not aware that the only "King Rooms" has a fancy bathtub, and a $40.00 increase in price. $40.00 for a bathtub is rediculicous and management was rather hatefull about changing it to the price I believed was establised in the online booking. My wife and I had to pay the increased price for the first night but was reluctently moved to the correct price for the other 2 nights. Buyer beware and look out for price significant changes for insignificant amnities.
clean & nice clean carpeting throughout, nice indoor pool for my fair complected daughter, comfy beds & pillows, nice pleasant staff
shower head was too low for even me and I am not what you would call a tall woman
We were very upset with the noise in the hall of the guests in other rooms. There was a softball tournament and the kids were running wild up and down the halls. We asked the kids three times to simmer down and be quiet. The next morning we heard someone complained about them to the front desk. Not sure if anything was done because the next night they were just as bad as were they every night. They should have threatened eviction to their sponsors/chaperones, but, not sure what happened. We were not happy about it. We did not sleep well the whole trip due to this.
Everything was great. Staff was awesome, breakfast was great and all around great hotel.
The staff were great & always asking if we needed anything! Breakfast was good!
Walls were a little thin, but not terrible bad!
-clean/up to date room
-we could hear EVERYTHING from the surrounding rooms. -King/Jacuzzi suite has an adjoining door to another room??
