In M5 (short for Marcus Hall, room 5), the student hub for hands-on inventiveness in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, innovation is happening faster than an electrical signal jumping a human synapse gap. In M5, change is standard operating procedure. One symbol of the innovation in progress is the antique pump organ centrally located in M5 as it waits to be mechanically restored and electronically synthesized by a team of faculty and students. Another change is the installation of the campus chapter of IEEE, which has been relocated in a high-profile, windowed office where students can find it easily. And a third alteration is the permanent configuration of electronic test equipment in a room that supports the freshman Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering course and also all the individual projects being worked on throughout the department.
On October 30, RailPod, a startup company founded by College of Engineering alumni Brendan English (B.S. 1999 in Computer Systems Engineering) and Blair Morad (B.S. 1998 in Mechanical Engineering), won $100,000 in the 2013 MassChallenge (masschallenge.org), the world's largest startup accelerator. RailPod was one of five $100,000 first-prize winners out of 128 companies competing in the MassChallenge. RailPod is a railroad track inspection robot that provides a visual depiction of the track environment, supported by quantifiable measurements that quickly and accurately identify track problems. Track inspectors are able to accompany the robot during inspection or use the RailPod robot remotely. RailPod provides more efficient revenue operations by minimizing human exposure to the hazardous environment. Go to RailPod website: http://www.rail-pod.com/.
On November 8 and 9, Marco Chiang, a senior BSCSE major, and his team from the Computer Science Department finished in the top six out of more than 500 "amazing hackers" and 200 teams that competed in the Yale Hackathon in New Haven, Connecticut. According to Chiang, the Hackathon is an event in which students compete to create the most innovative and complex computer software and hardware hacks to win a variety of cash and prizes. As Chiang explained, "Leaf, the name of our product and vision, is working hard to bring a piece of technology into our lives to revolutionize social and professional interactions."

text: I'm a college student at SVC majoring in Creative Writing, minoring in visual arts, and getting ready to graduate in this coming May. It's a bit crazy to think that I'll be living out in the 'real world' soon, but I'm not really worried about it. I came to Christ the summer of 2004 when I was at a Christian Camp, and my life has been absolutely amazing ever since, even with all the little ups and downs. I've assisted two people - a former best friend and my current fiance - since then in coming to Christ themselves and it's made me realize that this is truly what I must be here for. A relationship with Jesus is just plainly awesome, and I hope all my friends and family members and anyone who I come into contact with can see that through me and find it out themselves.

Transferred a dusty taste to my single malt beverage. Tried boiling them and washing them solo in the dishwasher over several cycles without soap and the still the dusty taste.
Dylistn wrote:cool idea but nonsense for cooling a drink. Google: "heat of fusion" Ice cools a drink by melting! Cold rocks will do very little. But "on the rocks" with real rocks, is irresistible. Bought several as gifts last time. Don't need any more.
Sort of. The heat of fusion is the amount of heat that must be put into a given mass of solid material in order to turn it into a liquid (or vice versa). Due to this, the temperature of ice cannot go above 0C (32F) until it has completely melted which makes it an EXCELLENT way to cool something. A material not going through a phase transition (like soapstone) must increase in temperature for every bit of heat exchanged with the drink so it is mostly only effective right away and loses effectiveness fairly quickly. It does have a fairly high heat capacity so it is better than some other materials for the job though. Soapstone cannot physically come even CLOSE to ice in its ability to reduce the temp of a liquid. That said, I have 2 sets of these stones that I got for Christmas presents (were purchased for more than $9) and I love them. They cool my drink without getting it ice cold and they stop it from getting dilluted. A perfect combination to me. Just like how a power drill can be much faster and more effective at screwing in some types of screws for many projects, I wouldn't use it to tighten the screws on my glasses. Same goes for ice vs. whiskey stones. Both serve the same purpose but have different applications.
jorta wrote: BTW, Why does the set consist of 9 rocks? Why not an even number like 8, 10 or 12?
Because 3 rocks per glass is the most aesthetically pleasing arrangement.
Big Whiskey Stones for your glass? At least they aren't ball shaped.
These again? Thanks but not this time... I already have 27 of them. Haha
wilcononomous wrote:Don't put them in a blender.
You're right. Wouldn't work that well to make margaritas on the rocks. I bought two of these from a previous offering and haven't been entirely impressed. For those expecting it to cool your drink like ice, you'll be sorely disappointed. They really don't chill the drink much, if at all. If there is any chill, it goes away pretty quickly assuming you're not drinking outside in the dead of winter in Alaska. At least they stay at the bottom of the glass when sipping whiskey. Careful on the last sip. Would hate to hear reports of chipped teeth and choking. If your idea is to give them as a gift, the recipient may just be confused about what to do with them and think "thanks for the box of rocks".
I bought these last time... does anyone else find it odd that the package it says the Food and Drug Administrations has found these "GRAS" or "Generally Recognized as Safe?" seems weird to me, that i'm putting something they aren't real sure about in my drink. well... i guess the alcohol will kill anything bad, right? haha
Thanks woot, I heard that guy who invented the pet rock made a million dollars.

My guess is that you're safe since glass is pretty hard. That's why it's an informal test for diamonds, the hardest substance (10) on the 10-point Moh's Scale (although cubic zirconia will also scratch glass). On the other hand, soapstone is made mostly of talc, the softest mineral on the scale (1). Soapstone is so soft that your fingernails, which ranks around Mohs 2.3, can scratch it. Glass, which is mostly quartz, is around a Mohs 6-7. As for your teeth, they're around a MOhs 5. In absolute terms, glass/quartz is about 100 times harder than talc/soapstone (diamond is 1600 times harder than talc!). In other words, your glasses are pretty much safe from these whiskey stones.
'Will not react to household cleaners " Yeah use these in your drink after using to chill your cleaners. "Chill (or warm) and enjoy a perfectly balanced spirit " I think its the whiskey that "balances" your spirit. "Recycled soapstone from factory excess " Refurbed soapstone for you to ingest. "FDA approved GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe)" Generally? kinda, maybe?
In for three. These are the best white elephant presents ever, and I also enjoy a little whiskey myself.
Wow! the Auto-word-scrambler is cool. I'll have to try some other 3 or 4 letter combos.

I've had mine for over a year and they seem to be the same size. They don't get that much wear and tear. It's not like you're shaking them in a cocktail mixer. At least I hope you're not.

I have not had the same experience. In fact, did a side by side blind taste test of "stoned" versus "un-stoned" with some Lagavulin and could not tell the difference.

Perhaps Woot believes we are all lushes and believe we like these considering they sold 49,687 on Nov 30th. Sold out at 4:24 PM. You're right about the Amazon comment. In my opinion, Woot is better now.

Many of the additives that are in food have this same designation as do most vitamins and other suppliments. It just means that there have not been extensive human trials over long periods of time to prove there are no long term health effects.
The cool factor far exceeds the actual function of these stones. Was disappointed - did not keep drink cold or even lukecold (not a word, but it conveys the thought).
From The FDA Website: ""GRAS" is an acronym for the phrase Generally Recognized As Safe. Under sections 201(s) and 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act), any substance that is intentionally added to food is a food additive, that is subject to premarket review and approval by FDA, unless the substance is generally recognized, among qualified experts, as having been adequately shown to be safe under the conditions of its intended use...." GRAS basically means it's so safe that it doesn't warrant regulation by FDA.
I bought a set of these a few months back. They might work ok in a small mixed drink glass but I did not think they worked all that well, compared to ice cubes, in a glass holding a full can of coke.
My wife got these for me two years ago. I still have not used them. I put one ice cube in my scotch or bourbon not really for a little chill but to mostly open the flavors. I over do it with a splash of water (water helps, but just a little) and one cube is good metering for me.

You're a "professional" drinker? Lush.
The sip when these things bang into your teeth will be the last sip you take with them in your glass. This was my first and so far my only disappointing WOOT! buy.
Waste of money..had them threw them away..did not chill my scotch after being frozen....
I bought a set of these before and they showed up very badly damaged. They rolled around in the box and caused the edges to grind. They were all mostly broken and giving off debris that I would not want in my whiskey. I'm not sure what kind of stone this actually is but it does not seem to be very hard at all. I will say that woot was very accommodating and refunded my money after I sent a few pictures over. I really want a nice set of these but honestly I don't think this set is worth the money. Perhaps someone makes these out of a harder rock that won't wear out over time.
mobiusm1 wrote:Soapstone is 1/4 the specific heat of water, so should generally be expected to only work about 1/4 as well as ice. Does anyone know from experience how well these work in practice for chilling drinks? (especially warm ones?)
I keep a set I got for Christmas in the freezer actually in my ice tray underneath all the ice that come out of my automatic ice maker. When I put the stones into a glass of whiskey, they do chill it moderately. However, it seems like they don't keep it cool for that long. By the time I'm done with my drink I can reach in and pull the stones out and they feel room temperature. If you want cold, stick with ice. If you don't want cold, but just cool and not watered down... these are perfect.
inkycatz wrote:We can always fix that, if you want. ;)
No no no ... I'm sick of having to use "arse" when to bypass Woot's word scrambler since I'm not British! Trivia: The Hallmark Channel bleeps out the word "ass" ... so sitcoms like "Frasier" can get pretty distracting. Complaints are mounting though since Hallmark is a cable station and even non-cable networks have allowed the word for over a decade (hence its frequent use on "Frasier"). And BTW, in the past, British TV banned the word "arse" but allowed "ass." I guess they, like Woot, were animal lovers...
My buddy got me something like this. They are plastic with water inside. I am almost convinced they alter the flavor of my drink. Can anyone chime in and offer experience of the flavor with and without these?
I'm not sure what a dusty taste is, but given that much of soapstone is talc, I don't doubt that small flecks can come off. In fact, it's the reason soapstone feels like soap. Talc is the softest substance on the Mohs Scale -- so soft that your finger nails can scratch it.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Amazon is easily the best thing on the web (well besides all the...you know). The idea that a company pretty much made of awesome has made woot worse is just..illogical. Better than it's ever been, IMO. I'm typically a bourbon drinker, and I always go with a cube unless I'm mixing a Sour, so these are intriguing, but I think the water is kind of integral to that whole combination. Not sure how I'd do trying to figure out how much to splash in. Put me squarely on the fence this morning. *OW*
How are these better than just picking up some largeish gravel from your driveway and sticking it in the freezer? They seem pretty expensive for boring old rocks.
HAHA, I agree! Yeah I have a set of these (not the same brand) that really absolutely do nothing to make the 1.5-2 ounces of whiskey in my glass cold (despite feeling cold to the touch themselves). If you use 6 cubes, you might get a noticeable effect, but you might as well just chill the glass itself and not use any of these duds. I still use them anyway because I "want" to think they do something since they do look badass having your drink on the ROCKS...
I don't have anything new to add, except that I really love these things. When I drink scotch or a nice single barrel bourbon (such as Four Roses) I Anvilania to dilute my whiskey. The flavor and taste of the whiskey is what I want. The stones cool the whiskey such that it is no longer room temperature, thus making it more palatable and pleasant to drink. When I drink a blended or particularly strong bourbon, such as Maker's Mark, I add a bit of ice. I do this because the whiskey is too strong up front and by diluting it I am able to open up the whiskey and I can taste its deliciousness better. So, the stones are not for every drink. I find that it classes up my drinks, and makes it slightly more delicious as well.
makes your wiskey smell like your freezer.
These, while not making your whiskey super cold, which it shouldn't, since whiskey is meant to be served slightly chilled, DO chill your whiskey while not melting and diluting a perfectly whiskey with tap water.
General Warning: DO NOT handle or make direct skin contact with stones warmer than room temperature. DO NOT let children handle stones or put them in their mouth. Does this mean my girlfriend can't put my stones in her mouth???
Bought these stones about 3mos ago. They won't chill your drink, but they do keep it cool without watering down your drink. I bought another set today. Good Price.
I have these stones, and while they don't dilute your Scotch, they also don't chill it either. The stones just don't stay cold for long enough to cool a drink.
how great is this! Ice always waters me white wine - and it's NEVER cold enough - just throw rocks at it!!! Woo-hoo

I didn't like this hostel as when we arrived at destination the lady on the reception said that our room (that was booked by us and we paid deposit for it) is busy! She said to some back on 2nd of January (but that was the date when we had to leave). We were forced to look for another hostel and our deposit money were not returned.

First Prize Winners: How I Did the StoryNarratives from EWA's 2007 First Prize WinnersStory Headlines from First Prize Winners See grand prize winner's narrative here. IA. Newspapers Under 100,000--Breaking or Hard News "Virginia Tech Shootings"It's not difficult to explain how we "got" the story on the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech. But our teamwork in handling the story after it "got" allowed us to give readers a full and timely treatment of a national story unfolding in their backyard. I received a call from a source around 9:15 a.m. telling me about a shooting at Virginia Tech. He had heard about it because his wife worked at a local elementary schools. No one had reported on anything unusual happening at Tech at that point. I told my editors and began making my calls but got voicemails or people on campus who had no idea anything was amiss. I began updating the Tech web page and at 9:26 the university sent out the first announcement of shootings on campus earlier that morning. I posted the first mention of the shootings online about 9:30 a.m. and left for campus. My editor scrambled photographers, including Alan Kim, from his home in Blacksburg. Alan would take the photos that the world would later associate with the shootings. On my way to campus -- about a 10 minute drive from our bureau. I received another call from an editor. The police scanner was talking about a live shooting and I was told to go to Norris Hall, not West Ambler Johnston Dormitory. I arrived to find the building surrounded by police. A few minutes later I spoke with the first students to evacuate the building. The rest of the day was spent communicating updates to my editors, talking to other reporters and photographers as we tried to get our arms around the story. I wish I could say there was some secret to our extensive coverage that day and later that week, but it was just the result of a lot of people and a lot of hustle. Editors were supportive throughout and people put their egos aside to get the most complete story about what happened out there as quickly as possible. I've never been prouder of my colleagues. --Greg Esposito, The Roanoke Times. Click here to read story. IC. Newspapers Under 100,000--Series or Group of Articles "Cost-Cutters Target Teacher Benefits"My winning entry involved a package of stories on teacher health-insurance, a highly controversial topic in Michigan. Most Michigan teacher contracts require school districts to purchase insurance through an affiliate of the Michigan Education Association. It is very, very good insurance but it also is very expensive. In fact, I could not find a Michigan employer who pays more for health insurance than school districts. The story is especially timely because Michigan school funding is very, very tight and most districts have been cutting staff and services for the past five years. Yet districts have maintained this expensive insurance, even as they cut other items on their budget. My stories looked at the cost differential between the union insurance and what other employers paid; the reasons why the insurance is so expensive and why it's so hard for districts to change to another carrier, and the financial impact on school districts and students. It also raised the issue of whether the MEA is putting its own self-interest before its members by encouraging teachers to forego raises rather than switch insurance plans. The MEA was furious, and wrote a viewpoint for our editorial, but they did not cite any factual errors in the story. --Julie Mack, Kalamazoo Gazette. Click here to read story. ID. Newspapers Under 100,000--Investigative Reporting "PHEAA Spending"My stories on the spending habits of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency grew out of six years of covering a state agency that had fallen under most media outlets' radar for years. I began covering PHEAA's meetings after discovering through a salary survey that nine of the top 10 salaries in state government in 2002 were paid to PHEAA executives. Learning that made me curious what this agency did. So I set out to satisfy my curiosity.
--Jan Murphy, Patriot-News IIA. Newspapers Over 100,000--Breaking or Hard News "Blemished Backgrounds: The Past of School Bus Drivers"When Columbus police stopped a school bus driver for making an illegal turn in January, they found a syringe of cocaine on board and a driver with a shocking history. The situation raised an alarming question: How could someone with three drunken-driving convictions and four other traffic offenses be fit to drive children? The incident brought the state's largest fleet of school buses to a halt and forced a one-day cancellation of classes at Columbus Public Schools and other public and private schools that rely on Columbus buses for student transportation. A team of Dispatch reporters set out to make sense of the daily developments and explain the flaws that allowed this man to drive a school bus. Reporters began by asking school districts what their hiring policies were: Who can drive a bus? They quickly discovered that the private company that hired the driver had failed to make required background checks and that districts weren't following their own hiring policies. In addition, the Dispatch investigation found that ill-conceived state policies allowed districts to review only the most recent three years of driving records for school bus drivers. Exactly how many drivers with spotty histories were on the road was unclear, so The Dispatch requested a list of the state's bus drivers from the Ohio Department of Education. Reporters found drivers right away that had previous drunken-driving convictions; some were highlighted in breaking news stories. To dig deeper, the team crafted a query for a Nexis SmartLinx search to find drivers who held a commercial license, which qualified them to drive a school bus, and who had alcohol convictions on their records. The Dispatch examined records of more than 900 school bus drivers in central, eastern and southeastern Ohio and found more than 150 who had been convicted of drug and alcohol offenses. In most cases, their districts had no idea. The payoff was great, but a word of warning: using Nexis to search people isn't cheap. And the process was tedious. The stories forced major reforms. A new law bans drivers from school buses who have been convicted of drunken driving in the previous six years or have been involved in major traffic offenses in the previous two years. It also provides school districts access to complete driving histories and gives the Ohio Department of Education the authority to perform ongoing background checks. The law is working. Since September, the state has alerted school districts to dozens of school bus drivers who have been arrested or caught with a suspended license. --Jennifer Smith Richards, Columbus Dispatch IIC. Newspapers Over 100,000--Series or Group of Articles "Cross-Currents in Mainstreaming"Over the past quarter century, few policy changes have transformed public education more dramatically than the movement to include more children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. Most of the country's six million special-education pupils are now taught this way. Yet the rise in mainstreaming and its far-reaching effects on teachers and students have received little scrutiny. In a series of stories last year, a team of Wall Street Journal reporters revealed how often mainstreaming has failed to live up to its promise, hurting some of the very children it was meant to help. Reporters Robert Tomsho, John Hechinger and Daniel Golden documented that school systems across the country, using mainstreaming as a pretext to cut costs, have dumped students with serious emotional and behavioral problems into regular classrooms with little or no support. Although school officials say that disabled students learn more in regular classrooms than in separate ones, the Journal articles showed this apparent improvement is often due to easy grading and excessive "accommodations" that inflate test results. They also reported a parental backlash against the movement. The reporters were able to expose mainstreaming's shortcomings by obtaining special-education and school-discipline statistics through requests under freedom-of-information laws and by tracking down disenchanted parents and teachers. Through these sources, they gained access to confidential documents, including thousands of pages recording disputes between parents and school systems. The Journal also provided voluminous statistical back-up in an online chartbook and produced an Internet videos documenting the tragic consequences of mainstreaming gone awry. ---Robert Tomsho, John Hechinger and Daniel Golden, The Wall Street Journal. Click here to read story. IIIA. Beat Reporting--Small Media or Market "Andy Hall Beat Coverage"After I'd worked more than 15 years as a full-time investigative reporter, my editors reassigned me to the K-12 education beat. I feared I'd waste away in school board meetings. It was challenging to build connections to sources while covering a broad range of breaking, in-depth and feature stories. Most of these issues probably are part of the landscape in your community -- things like problems with the state's school-funding system, rising class sizes, divisive referendums and the impact of budget cuts on vulnerable students.Three approaches that paid off:
2) Tracking down data to bring stories into focus, even on deadline. File a public records request if necessary, but first see if an informal request or a Web hunt will yield what you need.

Against the worsening crisis - Support the workers' mobilizations - Develop solidarity and mutual aid We recognize that the strike on 27 January called by the USB, Unicobas, Orsa, SICobas, Snater and USI unions is an opportunity for this renewal of the ability to mobilize of the workers' movement in Italy and as anarchist communists, we declare our solidarity with the workers of all kinds and with all those who join the strike and participate in the demonstration in Rome on Friday 27 January. [Italian] Grassroots syndicalist general strike on 27 JanuaryAgainst the worsening crisisSupport the workers' mobilizations Develop solidarity and mutual aid 2012 has opened without too many worries for those in Italy who hold 50% of the country's wealth, that is to say the 10% of the well-off who are part of the 1% of rich people throughout the world that prevents 99% of the world's population from accessing its wealth. Globalization has thus been a success, in the sense of global impoverishment. And Italian workers are now beginning to see the seriousness of the situation. With the support of a huge majority in Parliament and to the shame of certain trade unions who no longer have Berlusconi on their side, the Monti techno-government has closely followed the script written by the European Union and re-established the harshness of the class reality: the dominant, exploiting classes will not be paying anything, the dominated, exploited classes will have to pay for everything: they will pay the public debt, they will pay for social services, they will pay for assistance and healthcare in order to save themselves and the country. This rescue will not cost anything for our entrepreneurs, financers, bankers and the tax-evasion economy, whose profits and goods have not suffered loss of any kind. The so-called Phase 1 of the Monti techno-government has now come to a close with an enormous draining of financial resources, taken from waged workers, pensioners and home-owners (of a single house). In the meantime any chance for an increase in wages has been blocked with a freeze on public sector agreements, despite rising inflation, and with the cancellation of the national collective agreement by FIAT and the metalworkers sector. This unilateral, parallel and interconnected action on the part of Marchionne and Confindustria introduces into the context of acute crisis an element that is not so much simply the taking of our money, but the taking of our freedom and the dignity of workers, our right to organize ourselves in the workplace, to protest, to strike. Punishment and dismissals will be the fate of anyone who does not buckle down. And this is the basis on which the government's so-called Phase 2 lies. So then, 2012 opens with a great many worries for everyone in Italy who still lives on a steady wage, or indeed an unsteady wage because they live on short-term job contracts and redundancy pay. The Monti techo-government is now getting to grips with its second executive order: easy dismissals and privatizations. This is a matter of re-writing the Workers' Statute and in particular art. 18, by raising the threshold for easy dismissals, or eliminating the obligation to apply the national collective agreement in the railways. As far as liberalization is concerned, there is the plan to push public services of a certain economic importance onto the market, by reducing so-called "in-house" management. This is perhaps the aspect that interests the government most, although it hides behind the liberalization of taxi services, pharmacies, newsagents', etc. In these years of a crisis which is sure to be long and aggressive, the response from the people and the workers has been discontinuous and disunited, with mobilizations alternating between those with massive participation and those with little. We know there is no mechanical connection between a capitalist crisis and renewed class struggle. It is for this reason that the mobilizations and the struggles that are proposed must be supported and made the most of, despite our being aware of the limits that they often have, due to their partial nature or the lack of a clear project for workers' unity and unifying objectives. The world of combative syndicalism, in particular, made up of workers who still want to play a first-hand role individually and collectively in the protection of their rights and in formulating demands in their workplaces and in their communities - whatever organization they belong to - is the best placed to begin this action to re-launch, re-motivate and protect grassroots union activity, to express their clear social, proletarian opposition to the crisis, while at the same time build a struggle front that can really face up to the situation. It is also necessary for them to act in order to soften the blows of the crisis, by developing forms of solidarity and mutual aid between workers, through eco-solidarity networks in the community. We recognize that the strike on 27 January called by the USB, Unicobas, Orsa, SICobas, Snater and USI unions is an opportunity for this renewal of the ability to mobilize of the workers' movement in Italy and as anarchist communists, we declare our solidarity with the workers of all kinds and with all those who join the strike and participate in the demonstration in Rome on Friday 27 January. We have along period of crisis ahead of us; there are already plans for other mobilizations, such as the FIOM demonstration on 11 February. But we need the involvement of all the grassroots opposition forces. Workers' unity!Social front against the crisis! Labour Commission Federazione dei Comunisti Anarchici23 January 2012 |

car is registered under dead dad
I bought my current car fairly young, when i was still in college. Due to that and me having little credit rating, it was bought under my fathers name. I paid all the monthly payments and eventually saved up to pay it all off. We intended to transfer it to my name eventually but we never ended up doing that. My dad passed away a few months ago when the car was still under his name...what happens now?

Piper, Laurence; Matisonn, Heidi (Routledge, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: In party organisational terms, the rise of Jacob Zuma to the Presidency of the African National Congress (ANC) is a victory for the alliance partners and the struggle-era vision of the ANC as a popular front, or the 'ANC as alliance', as against Mbeki's centralised and exclusionary practice. Accidentally, this renaissance of the ANC as alliance is good for democracy in South Africa understood in both liberal and participatory terms. On the one hand, the factionalism in the party provided for an alternation of leadership not possible through formal elections; and perhaps not desirable at this time. Further, the emergence of Congress of the People (COPE) promises a more meaningful party pluralism, taking the pressure for democratic competition off ANC internal processes into the future. On the other hand, the renaissance of the ANC as alliance provides better access to government by organisations, especially COSATU, who have a proven record in mobilising working and poor people around key social issues from land to HIV-AIDS and Zimbabwe. In this way the chances of greater inclusion in national decision-making are heightened, at least for some marginalised groups. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/482 Files in this item: 1

Piper, Laurence (Routledge, 2010)[more][less]
Abstract: Introduction: It is common cause that the rise of Jacob Zuma in South African politics signals change; what is contested is the nature and extent of that change. For example, Zuma's champions in the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) and the Communist Party (SACP) describe his rise as a victory over the authoritarian Thabo Mbeki and his neo-liberal '1996 class project' (Craven 2008). Many detractors, including some on the political left as well as the right, see Zuma as heralding an African populism which shields patronage behind popular bigotry. As well as disagreeing on whether Zuma's colours are truly red or black, there is significant disagreement as to whether Zuma's ascent will herald a 'tsunami' of change, washing away apartheid's legacy, or more of an 'eddy' in the current of capitalist develop¬ment in South Africa. Hence, within the SACP are both those who see Zuma as the 'vehicle of sweeping change' and those who just 'hope and pray' that Zuma will support left policies (Pillay 2008). Similarly, amongst those who see Zuma's ascent in terms of elite rivalries some fear a corrupt and incompetent patrimonialist, while others see a wily but personable prag- matist keen to keep business confidence (Economist 25 September 2008). Who then, is the real Jacob Zuma, and what interests does he really represent? What will his leadership mean for the future of governance in South Africa, especially as regards its democratic consolidation, economic growth and development? These are the questions which occupy the authors of this special edition of Representation. I now survey some of the answers before interpreting the directional pull of their collective weight; the sum of which suggests we stand at the beginning of a new and more familiar era of postcolonial politics in South Africa.

Short Name: | Johann Ludwig Conrad Allendorf |
Full Name: | Allendorf, Johann Ludwig Conrad, 1693-1773 |
Birth Year: | 1693 |
Death Year: | 1773 |
Allendorf, Johann Ludwig Conrad, b. Feb. 9, 1693, at Josbach, near Marburg, Hesse, where his father was pastor. He entered the University of Giessen in 1711, but in 1713 passed on to Halle to study under Francke, and then, in 1717, became tutor in the family of Count Henkel of Odersberg. In 1723 he became tutor to the family of Count Erdmann v. Promnitz at Sorau, and in 1724 was appointed Lutheran Court preacher at Cothen, when one of the Count's daughters was married to the Prince of Anhalt-Cothen. After the death of his first wife the Prince married her younger sister, but the latter, dying in 1750, the need for a Lutheran Court preacher ceased, he being of the Reformed Confession. Allendorf was then summoned by Count Christian Ernst v. Stolberg to Wernigerode, where a sister of his former patronesses was the wife of the Count's eldest son. There he was assistant in two churches till 1755, when he was appointed pastor of the Liebfrau Church, and a member of the Consistory. In 1760 he became pastor of St. Ulrich's Church in Halle, and successfully laboured there till, on June 3,1773, "As a Simeon of eighty years he received his peaceful summons home to rest in the arms of Jesus" (Koch, iv. 441-446; Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie., i. 349, &c). His hymns, which are "hymns of love to Christ, the Lamb of God, and the Bridegroom of the believing soul," appeared principally in the Einige gantz neue auserlesene Lieder, Halle, N.D. (c. 1733), and the Einige gantz neue Lieder zum Lobe des Dreijeinigen Gottes und zur gewunschteh reichen Erbauung vieler Menschen. The latter, known as the Cothnische Lieder, contains hymns of the Pietists of the younger Halle School, such as Lehr, Allendorf, Woltersdorf, Kunth, &c.; and to its first ed., 1736, Allendorf contributed 45 hymns, while the 4th edition, 1744, contains in its second pt. 46, and the 5th ed., 1768, in its third pt. 41 additional hymns by him-—in all 132. Four of his hymns have been translated, viz.:—
The Fountain flows!—its waters—all are needing, omitting st. iv., vi., ix., by H. Mills in his Horac Germanicae, 1845 (ed. 1856, p. 43). The tr. of st. i.-iii., viii., altered to " The Fountain flows! waters of life bestowing," were included, as No. 819, in the Lutheran General Synod's Colletion 1850.
Now rests her soul in Jesus' arms. A good translation of stanzas i., ii., viii., xii., xiii., in the 1st Ser., 1855, of Miss Winkworth's Lyra Germanica, p. 250 (later eds. p. 252). Thence, omitting st. xii., as No. 362 in E. H. Bickersteth's Psalms & Hymns, 1858. Another translation is, "In Jesus' arms her soul doth rest," by Mrs. Bevan, 1858, p. 42.
-- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

Donors stepping Up to Help Isabel Celis Search Related Charities should be Wary of Scams
Monday, May 14th, 2012Southern Arizonans horrified at the recent abduction of 6-year old Isabel Celis are responding with generous gifts of time and money. But even when the tragedy is close to home, givers should take steps to assure that donations go to legitimate charities, cautions BBB Wise Giving of Southern Arizona.
As the search for Celis continues, donors should watch out for scam charities that inevitably follow on the hills of tragedy with the sole aim of taking advantage of community good will.
"It's common for scam artists to use tragedies to separate concerned donors' from their money," says BBB President Kim States "Even worse is that it can divert much needed resources away from the cause."
Those who wish to aid the search for Celis with a donation can do so through the Tucson Medical Center Foundation by visiting www.tmcaz.com/TMCFoundation, or by going to any Wells Fargo branch and depositing a donation into the "Bring Isa Home" account.
Before making a donation to any charity, BBB recommends that donors' follow these tips to ensure their donation is used effectively:
Take time to check out the charity. The best way to avoid being disappointed in helping is to find out more about the charity before making the donation. Unfortunately, most people don't. Donors should review the charity's website and go to third party sites such as the BBB Wise Giving Alliance (www.tucson.bbb.org/charity) to learn more about the charity and verify its accountability.
Find out if the charity is providing direct aid or raising money for other groups. Some charities may be raising money to pass along to other organizations. If so, you may want to consider "avoiding the middleman" and give directly to charities that have a presence in Southern Arizona.
Verify if the charity is registered to solicit donations in Arizona. Most states require charities to register with a state agency (in order to solicit charitable contributions. Contact the Arizona Department of State to determine if the soliciting charity is properly registered.
To find a charity you can trust visit www.tucson.bbb.org/charity or call (520)888-5353.

Instructions for Tuna Tartare on Potato Gaufrettes Recipe
- In a mixing bowl, combine the tuna and green onions. In a small bowl, stir together the ginger, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil until the wasabi dissolves. Add them to the tuna and stir until well blended. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lime juice and a little more soy sauce. Cover and set the bowl aside inside another bowl filled with ice to keep the mixture cold.
- In a deep, heavy pot or a deep-fryer, preheat the oil to 325�F on a deep-frying thermometer. Deep-fry the potato slices until crisp and golden. Remove them with a wire skimmer or slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
To serve, place a generous spoonful of the tuna tartare on one end of each potato gaufrette, arranging the pieces on a serving platter. Serve immediately.
Note: Makes about 2 dozen pieces
To serve, place a generous spoonful of the tuna tartare on one end of each potato gaufrette, arranging the pieces on a serving platter. Serve immediately.
Use only the freshest sushi-grade raw tuna for this recipe. A mandolin, available in well-stocked kitchen stores, is a classic French slicing device that makes it easy to cut waffle-patterned potatoes. If you don�t have a mandolin, use regular thin slices of potato; or, in a pinch, you could even substitute top-quality potato chips.

Multiple juveniles are suspected in a trio of Ralls County, Mo. fires and a burglary at the Saverton Community Center, according to the Sheriff's Office.
The Ralls County Sheriff's Office and the Missouri State Fire Marshall investigated the fires at three vacant properties on Sept. 9, Oct. 5 and Jan. 26.
The investigation also led to the closure of a late 2012 burglary investigator for an incident at the Saverton Community Center.
The Sheriff's Office cannot release the names of juvenile suspects.
The matter has been referred to the 10th Circuit Juvenile Office where the Prosecuting Attorney's Office will decided whether to file charges against the juveniles.

"Great Place a block from Duval Street"
This place was ideal because it had a kitchen that was used for Breakfast and Lunch. It was a block from Duval Street and was convenient access to the main strip.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Nice suite but not quite"
Nice and modern Suite. Mattress was not good (sagging). Our Suite was not quite due to loud noise from air condition and fridges. It was quite hard to sleep.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Friendly staff"
Wish I'd known about this place earlier, cause it's the best hotel/appartment in Key WestAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Fabulous Hotel"
We couldn't have been more pleased when we entered our "room", which ended up really being a condo. This was ideal for starting our vacation. The hotel adds many nice touches which make you feel pampered even though the setting is extremely laid back. Muffins in the morning, complimentary happy hour by the pool, ice cream bars in your freezer for evening […] - quite fun! Everyone at the hotel were very helpful with ideas of things to do during the day and restaurant recommendations. There is a highly rated sushi restaurant right on site but unfortunately time got a way from us and we didn't have the opportunity to dine. I can't say enough about this place. There are many other locations we would like to visit but I'm tempted to go back to Key West just to stay here again! Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Great hotel but not for people who like to go out"
Stay was good, pool is awesome, poolside smoothies are really good however the two level suite has some living issues, bathrooms are smaller, stair case is nice and lot of passage space in the room but double vanity, king bed are some of the basic needs. Location is good and easy to get to, but too far from all the tours, if you want to see sunset, […] or take a parasailing tour or do any activity that are related to watersports don't stay here, you would be better off at Westin or Hyatt something closer to party side of strip Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Expected better service for the price."
We arrived at 5:15. They checked us in, and informed us the room would be ready in 20 min. We waited by the outside pool where they were serving drinks. 20 minutes turned into an hour wait. The accommodations were very nice as expected. But, they informed us that the convertible sofa would be made ready for sleeping during the turn down service; that […] didn't happen on any day we were there. When I called, they at least brought us sheets for the sofa-bed. On no day of our stay did they give us sufficient towels. FYI- the pool is not a place for kids to "let loose" and have fun - the staff will insist they "play quietly". The beach is two blocks away, but has a rough surface, with a lot of algae and seaweed.

"Excellent service, beautiful accommodations"
I booked the Santa Maria Suites with my bf and 3 kids for a 4 day getaway. We stayed in the bi-level luxury suite. It was amazing, clean, modern, comfortable and we love having 3 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms a full chefs kitchens, washer and dryer and 3 balconies overlooking the pool.

"Small elegant hotel with great location"
This was a bit of a splurge for us - we usually stay in simpler and less costly places. But we loves the extra care and attention we received and feel the money was well worth it.

"Wedding Anniversary trip in the end of May"
After reading reviews about this hotel, I booked my 5th wedding anniversary trip. To say the least our stay at this hotel was above my expectations. From check in to check out, everything was wonderful! The only negative thing that i can think of was that our room was not ready when we got there but it was well worth the wait. We stayed in a one bedroom […] suite fully equipped for 5 nights. We will definitely stay there again. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"A jewel in the crown"
What a find, you would not think it from the outside but walk through reception and you are in your own little piece of heaven. A warm and friendly welcome awaits you, Dusty and Christina willing to go the extra mile to make your stay special. The suites are fabulous with high end furnishings and fittings and the pool area, although small has adequate […] loungers and space for everyone. Lots of little extras are offered throughout the day including wonderful fruit smoothies, bottles of water and even sun cream, and at 6.00pm fresh muffins delivered to your room.

"Great location, just park the car and walk"
Location is great, within walking distance to everything, rooms are very nice, some furniture in the room we had could use updating but wow what a nice kitchen. Free parking but there is a hospitality charge of 20.00 per night for little things like turn down service, chocolates on the bed, happy hour drinks etc. It's okay if you use this but I would […] prefer that it is just included in the cost of the room. It was a turn off for me to charge this fee over and above the room rate. Overall the place is very nice. We just don't spend a lot of time in a room so it was more than we needed. Great hotel for two couples as they have two bedroom suites, I would stay again. To the hotel: get rid of the hospitality fee or build it into your price, when we booked through Expedia there was no mention of the fee. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

"Do not go here"
The garden room we stayed in was not good. The bedroom configuration is very cramped; particularly the bathrooms. The cleanliness was the biggest problem. Shower faucet falling off, air filter caked with dirt that made our room smell musty and mildewy, brown stains on the bath towel, dirt and red spot stains on the pillowcase, obvious dirt stains on […] the living room seating, room mats were fility, obvious dust on bedroom furniture.

The location is perfect. Evenings are serene and peaceful but the excitement in Key West is just around the corner. The bi-level suite was just the thing for friends to talk, party etc. and then to retire to absolute privacy. All of the little extras made us feel special and cared for.

"The very highest level of Friendly service"
The Staff took service to a level above and beyond with their pleasant smiles and attention to our needs. The suites were wonderfully appointed and included granite counters, ice maker, TVs in each room and bedrooms that inclued en-suites. Little added touches like chocolate, Dove ice cream bars, muffins, smoothies and wine were all included in the […] price. Not sure how they make money on the price they charge when you consider the services, location and accomodations they provide. If they were a national chain, I would book them on all the trips we make to different locales. I have stayed at Ritz Carlton's and Four Seasons in the past and for the service, accomodations, and price I would choose the Santa Maria every time.

The staff was very helpful, enthusiast and professional. We can't wait to go back!! So much to do in Key West. We wish we had bypassed the 3 days in Miami and stayed in Key West for the whole week.

"Awesome place to stay."
I stayed here with my girlfriend on 12/16/12 only for one night (unfortunately). I tried to be as honest with my ratings as possible. This hotel really and truly is that great. I interacted with two different front desk personnel, one was a gentleman probably in his 50s. The other was a younger female. I did not get names but they were both INCREDIBLY […] pleasant and helpful. The room was beautiful. We got a 1 bedroom suite. It was beautiful. The modern touches like sinks, doorknobs, twin ceiling mounted shower heads, etc make you feel like you are staying in a much more expensive resort. Everything felt like it should have cost much more per night. I would compare this resort to the Parrot Key Resort. But this one is in an awesome location. It is basically a block away from Duval at the farthest quiet end. If you dont mind walking (we dont) than the location is PERFECT. Easy to get to all the happening locations but also in a VERY VERY quiet area. It was beautiful. Also there were 3 balconies. Which was amazing. The bed was insanely comfortable. The stairwell had ambient lighting which was very cool at night. 2 people might be overkill for some folks but we like to stay in nice places. A 2-3 bedroom suite would really be a treat for a larger group. I really had a great stay. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Great hotel for 2 couples traveling together"
This is a great place to stay! It's conveniently located with in walking distance of Duval, the beach, and many near by restaurants. It is far enough off the main strip that it is quiet. The layout of the hotel is like a small condo complex, so it feels private, cozy and more intimate than many of the large hotels near by. The service is great, and […] the facilities fantastic especially if you are looking for a 2 bedroom suite for a large family, or couples staying together for vacation. The only thing I'd like to see here is a hot tub! Since we stay in Key West in the winter it would be great, but basically none fo the hotels on the island have a real hot tub, so I wouldn't doc this hotel points for not having one. Just saying..

My Husband and I were treated like VIP's from the moment we stepped into the Santa Maria. I loved the complimentary virgin smoothies by the pool and my husband loved that the alcoholic version was only $5!! The staff was unbelievable helpful and fun to converse with. With a full kitchen, this beautiful suite was the perfect choice for our five night […] stay. We loved having the option to cook in or bring our leftovers home and warm them up without the use of a microwave (which we prefer).

The most common of all congenital heart problems is hole in the heart, which links the left and right sides of the heart. Other congenital heart problems may be related to blood flow caused by abnormal development of the blood vessels or valves within the heart. Rarer types of congenital heart problems may involve the child having the wrong number of heart chambers, with problems affecting the ventricles or atria.
The causes of congenital heart problems are not fully understood, but they appear to happen more often in the children of women infected with rubella (German measles) during early pregnancy or women with poorly controlled diabetes during early pregnancy. Rarely, congenital heart problems may be inherited, linked to chromosomal abnormalities such as Down's syndrome, or caused by exposure to drugs or X-rays during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, a detailed ultrasound scan can be used to screen for congenital heart problems if similar problems have been detected in an older sibling or previous pregnancy. The 4D scans available privately are particularly good at showing up congenital heart problems before birth. Once born, babies with previously unrecognised congenital heart problems fail to gain sufficient weight and appear bluish around the lips and tongue due to lack of oxygen. In older children, symptoms may include shortness of breath, and in severe cases the lower legs may appear swollen.
If a congenital heart problem is suspected, your child may need to undergo specific tests such as blood tests, X-rays, electrocardiogram (ECG) or ultrasound. If the problem is complex, cardiac catheterisation – where a thin wire is inserted through the blood vessels from the groin to the heart for detailed examination and sampling – may be used.
Very minor congenital heart problems may not need treatment and may resolve themselves as your child grows. Some children have a tiny hole in the heart that seals before they reach adolescence. More severe problems can affect your child's general health, growth and development, so effective and timely treatment becomes necessary.
Treatment for congenital heart problems usually involves surgery and/or drug treatment. Drug treatment is usually needed in children who are suffering symptoms, and may include diuretics (drugs that promote urine formation) to clear any build up of fluid within the body and reduce the strain on the heart. Oxygen may also be given. In small babies, feeding assistance may be given via a tube through the nose and into the stomach.
Surgery is the only way to permanently and immediately cure congenital heart problems such as hole in the heart or a narrow blood vessel that needs widening. This type of heart surgery is relatively common with high success rates and low risk. More complex or larger congenital heart problems may be improved but may not always be curable with surgery. Several operations may be needed. If the problem cannot be corrected with surgery, a heart and lung transplant may be considered as a last resort.

The Football Association of Serbia (FSS) hosted the second in a series of pilot international development tournaments with the support of UEFA's HatTrick assistance programme.
Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria joined the hosts for the Under-16 men's competition, while FYROM, Bulgaria and Croatia comprised the women's U17 field. The series kicked off with an excellent first event in Slovakia, and the Serbian instalment, played between 13 and 21 March, was another huge success – as attested to by everyone involved in the tournament at Stara Pazova, Serbia's HatTrick-funded National Training Centre.
Bulgaria U16 player Stefan Velkov relished having "a chance to be compared with players from other countries, at my level and even higher, which gives me a target for further development," while FSS general secretary Zoran Laković said: "It was a fantastic idea. Above all, the young players had the opportunity to meet, to break some barriers."

Features: Matte Black finish Fluid Transitional design to go with many decors Mattress and linens not included The powder coat application marries texture to the surface in a way that both mutes and plays with light. Notice how the soft sheen of the finish takes a heavy steel frame and portrays it as light in weight. The 10 castings locked in place on this bed are intentionally finished in the same black power coat to show only their silhouette and accentuate their simple nature.
