In our new place we opted to give the kids the larger of the bedrooms since they were sharing. And for us, we took the bedroom with nice light but barely enough space for a queen bed. Despite it's small space, we're finding that less is definitely more.Bedrooms are a place for resting, for reading, for getting down. And besides a bed and a lamp, there's nothing else that must go into it. So there are a lot of options for how much or how little you want to incorporate. We've gone the route of keeping it simple with no artwork; just dark walls, patterned curtains and a white bed. But there are lots of options for packing style into a small space:
• Add One Punch Of Pattern. Keep everything simple but add a colorful headboard, some wallpaper behind the bed, a great patterned duvet or a fun rug. Instead of trying to layer the whole room just keep it simple.
• Pack in Storage. If you just won't ever be the minimal type but are stuck with a tiny closet for a bedroom, add storage in concentrated ares by adding a bookcase behind the bed. It will add pattern and texture to your room and you won't have to look at it while you're falling asleep. If you live in earthquake country, though, either make sure it's bolted to the wall and books won't fall on you or put the bookshelf on another wall!
• Go Dark. Painting the room a darker color is counter-intuitive, but the dark grey we chose makes the room feel like its own world. And since it already gets great light we don't have to worry about it feeling too dark. We paired the dark walls with crisp white sheets so that the bed becomes the focal point and it's all about relaxing.
• Have a Great Bed. Why not forgo all other pieces of furniture and just invest in a beautiful bed that fills up the room and speaks for itself.
• Lighting. Even if space is at a premium, mount lights to the walls, have an uplight but make sure you've got more than one bulb (on the ceiling) otherwise no one is going to look good.

The Pentagon welcomed on Monday the highest-ranking Chinese military official to visit the United States in nearly a decade: China's minister of national defense, Gen. Liang Guanglie.
He is meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in a continuing effort by the Pentagon to understand China's rapid military expansion and build a relationship with the Asian giant.
"We'd like to have a better understanding of the purpose of the Chinese military modernization program," a senior U.S. defense official said. "We want to better understand why China is investing in a very robust and rapid military modernization program, given that when we look around the region we see an area of the world at peace."
The official spoke to reporters about the visit on the condition no name was used.
Liang arrived this weekend and visited a San Diego naval base. He met with a U.S. Navy commander just back from a counterpiracy operation in the Gulf of Aden. The senior Defense official said the Pentagon would like to deepen its counterpiracy operations with the Chinese military.
After meeting with Panetta on Monday, Liang will travel to the headquarters of U.S. Southern Command on Tuesday and meet with its commander, Gen. Douglas Fraser. The defense official said that meeting will focus on cooperating on disaster relief and counternarcotics missions.
On Wednesday, Liang will go to Fort Benning in Georgia and Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to meet with non-commissioned officers.
On Thursday he will observe fighter jet training at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina to "demonstrate openness and transparency" on the U.S. side, according to the defense official. The visit will end with a stop at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.
On contentious issues such as U.S. military sales to Taiwan and American naval presence in the South China Sea, the official said, "These are issues that come up in these types of exchanges."
The official said the United States will try to allay some of China's concerns over Pentagon's "rebalancing" of its assets to shift more focus, and forces, into the Pacific. "We use every opportunity to engage the People's Liberation Army, and improve their understanding of what we're doing in Asia."
One contentious issue that is likely to be off the table, the official said, is Chen Guangcheng. The Chinese activist sparked a diplomatic storm when he broke out of house arrest and sought refuge at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing.
"We don't plan to raise that issue," the senior defense official said, and it is unlikely Liang will bring it up.
U.S. and Chinese military officials are also likely to discuss cyberwarfare and China's current relationship with North Korea.
"We continue to have concerns about stability on the Korean Peninsula," the defense official said.
The official refused to say if there were any installations the Chinese asked to see, but were refused.

Washington law identifies assessment of prior learning as an innovative method of improving degree and certificate attainment and improving cost effectiveness and efficiency within Washington's higher education system.
The Student Achievement Council works with the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to convene a cross-sector work group to address the following goals in the legislation:
WA-Prior Learning Assessment Wiki
A wiki, which was created to facilitate the group's work, includes reference materials, source documents, best practices, meeting minutes, and faculty/staff development tools. This wiki is a continually evolving resource for everyone and can be accessed at http://wa-priorlearningassessment.wikispaces.com/. Progress on goals listed above can be followed on the wiki.
Single Definitions of Prior Learning and Prior Learning Assessment
Every college and university in Washington has some form of assessment for prior learning. A set of common definitions was developed for use by all institutions that includes flexibility for a variety of assessment methods. Common definitions were required to develop (a) a consistent method of tracking PLA, and (b) outcome measures for goals outlined in this legislation.
Prior Learning is the knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience; through military training and experience; and through formal and informal education and training from in-state and out-of-state institutions including foreign institutions.
Prior Learning Assessment is accomplished through standardized tests (i.e. CLEP and DANTES), course challenge examinations, portfolio assessment, and crosswalks between work-based learning and college courses.
A Primary Point of Contact for PLA has been identified for each campus. Most of these college and university representatives continue to work on statewide solutions to implement the goal of the 2011 legislation to improve assessment of prior learning for the benefit of students, employers, and the state.
More information is available on the PLA Washington wiki at http://wa-priorlearningassessment.wikispaces.com/), or

Meeting Romney and Obama on their New York ceasefire night -- A shining moment in a campaign desperately short of them

President Obama, Cardinal Dolan and GOP Candidate Mitt Romney at Thursday night's charity event in NYC (Credit: AP) |
There, standing less than five feet apart, separated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, were the two men fighting tooth and nail for the most important job in the world, the President of the United States.
As I approached I could not but feel an extraordinary sense of pride. What an amazing statement about this country, that the two men in the midst of a titanic battle could set the battle aside and come together in the cause of raising $5 million for New York's neediest.
President ObamaandMitt Romneyseemed utterly at ease. I complimented Obamaon his Irish trip and he reminisced for a moment about it. "I need that Irish Moneygall vote," he joked, referencing the village in Offaly where his ancestors hailed from.
Mitt Romneyis ramrod straight, far younger looking than his 65 years, and his wife Ann is even prettier than she appears on TV. They are a striking couple, side by side.
I asked Romney would he visit Ireland if elected. "Of course," he said, "I'm a Massachusettspolitician, what would you expect," he joked.
Later, on stage, the two men gave command performances, firing punch lines not punches back and forth so rapidly that sometimes it was hard to catch them.
They were in New York for the annual Al Smith dinner, the great lollapalooza of New Yorkpolitics, where everyone gathers for the annual rite of reminiscence to the firstIrish Catholic to run seriously for president.

Henry Kissinger (he's still alive!) was there, so was Ed Koch, Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Senator Chuck Schumer to name a few, and every bishop and major businessman and woman in the five boroughs and Long Island.
MC was Al Smith IV, great grandson of the late and great Al and a born comedian with a wonderful sense of timing as he made the introductions. His best line was that Mitt Romney created more sons (five) than Obama did jobs.
Romney has a sense of comic timing that was unexpected to me. He seems ill at ease often in such settings but not last night, where his zingers found their target and the crowd guffawed and laughed along.
Obama proved equal to the task, if not quite as funny. His best line was how Mitt was Romney'ssecond name and he was lucky to have it as he couldn't use his own much (it's Hussein).
He also gave a spoiler alert for Monday night's debate on foreign policy (look away -- we killed Bin Laden if you hadn't heard).
The real surprise for me was Cardinal Dolan who made an impassioned speech about what he called the "un's" in America, the unemployed, the undocumented, the unborn, the unmarried mothers, the unfit and forlorn. It was a passionate plea for both candidates to note that the government's major role was to help those who could not help themselves.
Dolan had come under pressure not to invite Obama because of the abortion issue. He proved last night he had done exactly the right thing and showed the power of the Catholic Churchin so doing.
The 1,500 or so of those who attended went home happy and sated. As an immigrant, it was one of those occasions I thanked my lucky stars I had come to America.
With so much at stake the two men fighting it out for the White House found time to come together to help and raise money for those in need.
It was an extraordinary moment in a campaign known for its nastiness but one also capable of being kinder, gentler.
We need more of that to lift people up.

Well said, Seanmor! I totally agree, Obama digging up whatever obscure Irish roots he may have is cheap pandering. I'm a Democrat but sincerely hope Barry gets his ass handed to him at the upcoming election. He is a hypocrite and the worst Democratic president we've had since Carter, totally ineffectual and weak. I really worry about the future of America..

Niall, sounds like a wonderful evening, fair play to you. I`m deeply interested in whether and when you are going to make an endorsement in the time-honoured practice of the fourth estate, and the reasons for your pick.
Interestingly, some Salt Lke City newspaper has endorsed the President`s candidature, and press alignment is among the more intriguing facets of American democracy, both locally and Nationwide.
So Niall, `douze points` for.........?

Obama went into the Lion's Den and did his "Stepin Fetchet" routine. The Church is traditionally Democrat and well deserved so. It is just that Obama is a radical who surrounds himself with "radical women, non whites, non heterosexuals". He is anti-traditional society. Now, we have Romney who appeals to the center to right segment of society. Sure and begorrah, he is an unholy capitalist. However, the joke about the middle name of "Hussein" is really no joke. Obama is all that is advertised in his attack on the Catholic Church. He is a Marxist who is against his vision of male dominated society and the Catholic Church is only one part of that vision which he must overcome.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow showed both Romney's and Obama's speechs live and in their entirity. Both were very funny with both showing that they can laugh at themselves as well as each other. My only complaint with the coverage was, that later, all the commentators said how funny Al Smith was but none showed any clips of his jokes. This IS a great country. It used to be like that in congress too. Members lived in DC, went to parties together, played golf together, went to little league games together and respected each other's point of view. I think putting them on TV has changed the congress for the worse. They no longer can work for the good of all the people without some special interest calling them traitors and threatening to cut off their support. Flexibility and compromise are our only hope for keeping our country great. A compromise is NOT when someone agrees to support all YOUR ideas abandoning his/her own but when both sides get some of what they want and give up somethings as well. Time for some old fashioned negotiation.

So the writer was dazzled but after all the partying - do you think Obama will continue to try and force Catholic institutions to pay for contraception and abortifacients against the principals of Church teaching? Or was it all a money making charade?

Moneygall, Ireland? Obama's looks more like someone whose ancestors were African, not Irish. If Romney should go to Ireland, I hope he will visit the part of that country that is north of the artificial Partition. That is where most Irish Christian denominations are headquartered. In Cardinal Dolan's speech about the "uns" he should also have imncluded the UNhoused, including the 200,000 homeless veterans. Since the White House is the prize sought by the 2 presidential candidates, it would have been most appropriate if someone had mentioned the architect of that famous mansion, James HOBAN, a native of County Kilkenny. And since this was a N.Y.C. Catholic fundraiser, the atendees should have been reminded that the first bishop of the diocese was Tyrone native John Hughes.

Portal:Toxic Sludge
Toxic Sludge Is Good for You!
Welcome to our clearinghouse for information about hazardous sewage sludge. This resource is part of CMD's Food Rights Network. Sewage sludge is the growing and continuous mountain of hazardous waste produced daily by wastewater treatment plants. The sewage sludge industry has created a PR euphemism it uses in place of the words "sewage sludge": "biosolids." In March 2013, a study led by the University of North Carolina's Dr. Steve Wing involving neighbors of land where sewage sludge had been dumped -- "living in rural and semirural areas within approximately one mile of sewage sludge land application sites in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia" -- found that "over half of respondents attributed physical symptoms to application events." More specifically, "Over half (18/34) of the interview respondents associated acute physical symptoms that lasted a short period of time with sludge application events near their home (Table 1). The most commonly reported symptoms were eye, nose, and throat irritations and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Other symptoms reported by more than one respondent include cough, difficulty breathing, sinus congestion or drainage, and skin infections or sores." The full epidemiological study can be found here. edit
Breaking News on Toxic Sludge"Don't Ask, Don't Tell": Concerned Citizen Uncovers Whole Foods' Policy on Selling Food Grown in Sewage SludgeNeither does Mario Ciasulli, a semi-retired electrical engineer living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Mario likes to cook, and enjoys good food. When he found out last year about the practice of spreading dried and heated human and industrial waste as "fertilizer" on food crops, he was upset. Certified organic food cannot be grown in sewage sludge -- or "biosolids," the Orwellian PR euphemism used by the sewage sludge industry. But sometimes the vegetable Mario needs for a dish isn't certified organic, or he can't afford the higher price of the organically grown version. Until he found out about sludge, he thought that as long as a "conventionally" grown fruit or vegetable he used wasn't one of the "dirty dozen" for pesticide residues, he had nothing to worry about. Read more from CMD's PRWatch here. edit
Introducing the Food Rights NetworkThe Food Rights Network (FRN) is a project of the Center for Media and Democracy. FRN opposes dumping toxic sewage sludge on farms and gardens and advocates that no food should be grown in toxic sludge. You can contact the FRN by email to FoodRightsNetwork AT gmail.com.

Featured ArticleSewage SludgeWhy is Toxic Sewage Sludge Dumped on Farm and Gardens?"The policy of disposing of sludge by spreading it on agricultural land - a policy given the benign term 'land application' - has its inception in the Ocean Dumping ban of 1987. Before 1992, when the law went into effect, the practice had been, after extracting the sludge from the wastewater, to load it on barges and dump it 12, and later 106 miles off shore into the ocean. But many people who cared about life in the ocean knew that, wherever it was dumped, the sludge was causing vast dead moon-scapes on the ocean floor. New EPA regulations for 'land application' were promulgated in 1993. With the aid of heating and pelletizing and some slippery name morphs along the way, EPA claimed sludge could be transmogrified into 'compost' ... . But the land "application" of sewage sludge ... will pollute the whole chain of life for which soil is the base." [1] In 2002, the National Research Council found that the "U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's standards that govern using treated sewage sludge on soil are based on outdated science."[2] This was again confirmed in 2011 when scientists found that noroviruses survive treatment that kills pathogens such as Salmonella.[3] In March 2013, a study involving neighbors of land where sewage sludge had been dumped -- "living in rural and semirural areas within approximately one mile of sewage sludge land application sites in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia" -- found that "over half of respondents attributed physical symptoms to application events." More specifically, "Over half (18/34) of the interview respondents associated acute physical symptoms that lasted a short period of time with sludge application events near their home (Table 1). The most commonly reported symptoms were eye, nose, and throat irritations and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Other symptoms reported by more than one respondent include cough, difficulty breathing, sinus congestion or drainage, and skin infections or sores."[4] References
San Francisco's "Organic Compost"
Chez Sludge: How The Sewage Sludge Industry Bedded Alice Waters. As reported by author John Stauber, "The celebrity chef Alice Waters is probably the world's most famous advocate of growing and eating local, Organic food. In February 2010 her Chez Panisse Foundation chose as its new Executive Director the wealthy "green socialite" and liberal political activist Francesca Vietor. Vietor's hiring created a serious conflict of interest that has married Waters and her Foundation to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and its scam of disposing of toxic sewage sludge waste as free "organic Biosolids compost" for gardens." (Later in 2010, the Chez Panisse Foundation quietly changed Executive Directors; Vietor has since taken the lead of the SFPUC.)
BACKGROUND: San Francisco Bay celebrity chef Alice Waters would probably never dump sewage sludge onto her own garden, nor serve food grown in biosolids sludge in her world famous natural foods restaurant Chez Panisse. The stated mission of her Chez Panisse Foundation is to create "edible schoolyards" where kids grow, prepare, and eat food from their own organic gardens. But when Francesca Vietor was hired in February 2010 as the new executive director of the Chez Panisse Foundation she was also the Vice-President of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The (SFPUC) was running a scam of disposing of sewage sludge waste as free "organic Biosolids compost" for school and home gardens. Thanks to an "open records" investigation by the Food Rights Network, the public and the press have easy online access to scores of internal SFPUC files, documenting the strange tale of Chez Sludge: How the Sewage Sludge Industry Bedded Alice Waters. The SFPUC had been deceptively bagging toxic sewage sludge as 'organic compost' and giving it away to unsuspecting gardeners, people to whom the word 'organic' connotes the highest level of pure, toxin-free food production. On March 4, 2010, the Organic Consumers Association and dozens of San Francisco community groups protested at the mayor's office causing the city to put its sludge "compost" giveaway on the shelf, where it sits today -- a major victory for OCA and the Food Rights Network. edit
Featured HeroThe Food Rights Network Salutes Acclaimed Documentary Filmmaker Deborah Koons Garcia for Standing Up to Sludge When Garcia discovered that BioCycle promotes growing food in sewage sludge -- which is the industrial and human waste flushed down the drains and which contains hazardous substances like flame retardants, metals, endocrine disruptors, and pharmaceuticals -- she gave a keynote address to the conference opposing this practice and expressing concerns about the effect of this contamination on soils and land. She also condemned BioCycle's effort to smear organics advocates. Organics advocates also attended the Biocycle conference to demand a retraction from Sally Brown and Nora Goldstein of BioCycle magazine, who called non-violent organics advocates exercising fundamental first amendment rights "ecoterrorists."

Videos and Testing of "Organic Compost"Independent testing commissioned by the Food Rights Network found toxic contaminants in San Francisco's sewage sludge "compost". In the sewage sludge product that San Francisco's Public Utlity Commission was giving away to school and urban gardens as "organic compost" are contaminants with endocrine-disruptive properties including polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), flame retardants, nonylphenol detergent breakdown products, and the antibacterial agent triclosan. The independent tests were conducted for the Food Rights Network by Dr. Robert C. Hale of the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences. Watch the two videos below--from outstanding investigative reporting by the local CBS affiliate--which document the startling story of how San Francisco is violating its own precautionary principle law by dumping hazardous sludge on city gardens (and elsewhere): edit
Sludge ScienceSewage sludge is contaminated with toxins and it is hazardous. The thousands of viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, persistent chemicals, human and animal drugs, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors and everything else that goes down the drain and into sewage plants ends up in the mountain of sewage sludge that the industry renames Biosolids and us increasingly trying to pawn off as "organic" fertilizer and compost. Today half of all sewage sludge is dumped on agricultural land, contaminating it with whatever it might contain. A growing body of scientific surveys and studies document the hazards of sludge. Here are some of them:
Go to our Scientific Studies of Sewage Sludge article to find links to dozens of peer reviewed scientific studies in their entirety that examine and confirm the many hazards of sewage sludge. edit
The "Biosolids" ScamSewage sludge is the growing and continuous mountain of hazardous waste produced daily by wastewater treatment plants. The sewage sludge industry has created an Orwellian PR euphemism it uses in place of the words "sewage sludge"-- biosolids. The term Biosolids was chosen in a PR contest by the lobby association for U.S. sewage treatment plants, the Water Environment Federation (WEF). The WEF, with the support of the Environmental Protection Agency, has since the 1990s been promoting spreading this hazardous waste on farms and gardens, after it proved too hazardous to landfill, incinerate or dump into the oceans. The sewage sludge lobby also includes major corporations such as Synagro, front groups such as the US Composting Council, publications including BioCycle magazine, and even the Rodale Institute. edit

Worth the extra money. I told my wife they were like wearing slippers. Imagine, wearing slippers to work. These are a little stiff compared to my last pair, but maybe in 8 years they will loosen up.

Phil-tastic at Muirfield
What a great finish to the Open Championship. It is always better when someone plays well and wins rather than a player crashing and burning. Phil fired a final round 66, or 5 under par, to take the Claret Jug and the third leg of golf's Grand Slam for him. Birdieing two of the final three holes was exciting and really sealed the deal. The weather was also pretty unusual in that seven days of sunshine in a row in Scotland is pretty rare, or at least it was when I was growing up.
I think the biggest thing you may have noticed were the inconsistent bounces that links golf offers, and Phil had two in his last three holes. On 16, he hit a great tee shot onto the front of the green, but it started rolling backward and ended up 20 yards short. On 17, he hit a terrific approach to the par 5 that hit on a downhill slope and rolled up onto the green. This is what happens on a links course and truly tests every player. How the player handles it usually dictates how well or badly they will do. The other obvious factor in Phil winning was his putting. How often does the player who putts best win?
What does that mean to the average golfer? To me it illustrates that good and bad bounces or luck are never far apart, and it should be part of your game to see both happen and not be either positively or adversely affected. Think of some of the good and bad bounces you had last time you played. How did you feel, and what was the outcome of the following shot(s)? Like all aspects of this game, it is always better to prepare for the worst outcome and be pleasantly surprised if that doesn't happen. Remember that the golf course is the same for everyone, and that luck generally evens out in the end.

July 7, 1997 Fighting in CambodiaFighting in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh between troops of the two rival Prime Ministers Hun Sen and Prince Ranariddh, has resulted in an unknown number of injuries and deaths ans has caused serious damage in the city. The Kozamak hospital in Phnom Penh has been shelled and the surgery ward has been destroyed. MSF team members are carrying the wounded to other hospitals in Phnom Penh and have started to supply medical materials. On July 7, team members who were visiting Siem Reap in the northwest of the country were attempting to take a convoy of supplies to Phnom Penh. Nutrition in North KoreaMSF will start a medical and nutritional program in three provinces of North Korea, where a severe food shortage has led to mass malnutrition. The project will include distributing drugs, teaching local health workers, and assisting in setting up feeding centers. Afghan Refugees FleeAn offensive against the town of Mari-Chaq in northwestern Afghanistan at the end of June caused scores of casualties and forced nearly 10,000 Afghan refugees to flee across the border of Afghanistan to Turkmenistan. In the immediate aftermath of the displacement, seven children died of diarrhea, and MSF confirmed one case of measles. The organization has since vaccinated nearly 1,800 children between 6 months and 12 years of age to prevent the spread of this disease, which is a major cause of childhood mortality throughout the world. MSF has also installed a 15,000-liter bladder tank with 12 taps to provide refugees with clean drinking water. On July 3, some refugees began to return home, but most remain in a no-man's land between the border and an electric fence left over from the cold war. Teams Return to Congo-BrazzavilleFollowing last week's evacuation from Brazzaville, Congo Republic, a member of the MSF team has returned and is attempting to visit the Linzolo hospital southwest of the city. In the meantime, MSF has sent medical supplies to the hospital, where local staff are still working with 200 patients, a third of whom were wounded in the fighting. |

We live in a moment in history in which truth is only found in this fairly new thing we reinvented called a 'fact.' "This is a table," we say. It is a fact that the thing I just set my cup on is a "table." Ta-da! End of story… It is an idea that seems pretty hard to argue with until all of a sudden I take that same table apart and plan to build a flower bed out of it. Fairly quickly it becomes lumber. So it is now not a table after all. Er… right? That is the case until I decide without making any changes to the pile, to burn it in a fire. Without moving an inch, by mere planning in my head, it becomes fuel. This pile of wood is fuel for my fire, end of story. …Or perhpas this is where the importance of 'story' just begins.

text: Home Politics Does Sharpton Have the White House on Speed Dial? Just days after kicking off his 2012 re-election bid, Obama addresses a convention for the reverend's activist group, with cabinet members in tow. By: Sheryl Huggins Salomon Posted: April 7 2011 3:17 AM 0 President Obama and the Rev. Al Sharpton at the NAN gala (Spencer Platt/Getty) If you had any doubt at all about the political clout the Rev. Al Sharpton has accrued since the start of the Obama administration, seeing the political heavyweights who showed up and spoke at the 20th-anniversary convention of his National Action Network (April 6-9) should put those doubts to rest. President Barack Obama himself made remarks at a gala celebration for the convention Wednesday night in New York City, with several cabinet secretaries addressing the gathering in daytime sessions. Read the Transcript of President Obama's Remarks as Delivered It appeared that President Obama, by addressing a gathering of mostly black civil rights activists so soon after kicking off his re-election campaign, is signaling that he would not make the same mistake again that took place during the 2010 midterms: calling on members of his base at the 11th hour, when it was way too late to rally them against the GOP tide. It was also the fulfillment of a campaign promise he'd made in 2007 when then-candidate Obama spoke at a NAN gathering. "Back then I had fewer supporters," he quipped Wednesday night at the Keepers of the Dream awards gala, which recognizes those who continue the mission of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Most of you couldn't pronounce my name … I had a lot fewer gray hairs." Earlier in the day, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, as well as former Senior White House Adviser David Axelrod, all addressed a packed room of hundreds of members and guests of NAN at the Sheraton hotel in Manhattan. The gist of their message to the largely black crowd: Speak up and support the president at the polls in 2012, or you won't like what the Republicans have in store for you. The possibility of a government shutdown over the failure of Democrat and Republican lawmakers to agree on the 2011 federal budget adds extra weight to that message. "Look, I know that as hard as times have been for the country, they've been even harder on minority communities," said Axelrod. "In that environment it's easy to lose heart, but it's also important to remember what's at stake. In 2012 people are going to have a choice. It's not just Barack Obama that's going to be on the ballot. It's going to be things like Head Start, Pell Grants; it's going to be things that will make a big difference for young people." Expected at the convention later in the week to reinforce the message are Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Senior Adviser to the President Valerie Jarrett and Deputy Assistant to the President Michael Strautmanis. All day, those gathered were reminded by speakers how bad things were -- the banking crisis, the mortgage meltdown, the auto-industry implosion -- when the president took office. It's another message you can expect plenty of times during the 2012 campaign. "Let's not get amnesia," cautioned Sharpton during his introduction of the president. "He came into office when we had great challenges, and what many people have conveniently forgotten is that this president took this nation from where it had never been before in our lifetimes and put it back on a solid course." Speaker after speaker emphasized the role of personal responsibility -- as voters, parents and citizens -- in turning around the country, healing their communities and beating back a White House takeover by the GOP. "Low expectations is the new racism," Sharpton warned, calling to mind a popular Republican catchphrase during the Bush years: "the soft bigotry of low expectations." Holder distilled the message into this slogan as he discussed how citizens should approach the problem of youth violence in many communities: "Take it personally." President Obama invoked it in relation to the need to better educate our children. "Without parental responsibility, nothing else we do will matter," he said.

DETROIT - General Motors unveiled its newly designed 2014 Corvette Stingray in Detroit, on the eve of the North American International Auto Show.
The Corvette features a 6.2-liter small-block V-8 with 450 horsepower takes the car from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds.
Potential buyers will see overwhelming changes in the car from what they last saw nine years ago: aluminum replaced steel, super-light rivets held parts together, and the V-8 engine kicked down to four cylinders at highway speeds, saving fuel.
"There won't be a Corvette if we don't care about fuel economy," Tadge Juechter, the car's chief engineer, said Sunday night.
While the car features sweeping changes, the Corvette team paid homage to the first Stingray in 1963, with a sloping roof that tapers toward the bottom. The car has a small Stingray badge on each side, complete with gills.
The car also has an updated edition of the Corvette's crossed-flag logo.
The muscle car has been a favorite of adrenaline junkies for 60 years. The Stingray will arrive in showrooms this fall.
General Motors has not listed a price on the 2014 model.

Russia and Eurasian Partnerships and Projects
EERE engages in the region through bilateral partnerships with individual countries. Some of the following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs. Download Adobe Reader.
Bilateral Partnerships
Energy Efficiency Activities
Energy Efficient Buildings
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources' Committee for State Energy Oversight will release an updated version the 1997 law "On Energy Efficiency." EERE has proposed to collaborate with the Kazakh Government to support various aspects of the emerging building efficiency program under the updated law. EERE support may include the development of a technical methodology to integrate tax incentives with building and appliance standards, assistance with designing certification programs for building materials, and sharing best practices from voluntary market transformation programs codes and standards. EERE could also share information on energy-efficient and earthquake-resistant building materials and designs.
Industrial Energy Efficiency
Save Energy Now is a U.S. industrial energy efficiency program under which EERE assists companies in conducting energy assessments to reduce unnecessary energy expenditures and boost productivity. EERE partnered with the Kazakh Government to provide training on Save Energy Now industrial efficiency assessment methods, software tools, case studies and expert support programs. EERE is also assisting in designing a program similar to Save Energy Now for Kazakhstan. Industrial energy efficiency improvements provide an excellent opportunity to reduce national energy consumption, as the Kazakh industrial sector accounts for 45% of the nation's total energy use.
Renewable Energy Activities
The Kazakh Government recently acknowledged the need to diversify the nation's energy base and establish favorable conditions for renewable energy, as evidenced by President Nazabayev's July 4, 2009 signing of the law "On Support for the Use of Renewable Energy Sources." In addition, Kazakhstan's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) has announced its intent to increase the share of renewable energy (excluding hydropower) from its current level of 0.02 % to 5% by 2024. The Parliament of Kazakhstan is considering draft laws that would establish such a renewable energy mandate. Given the interest in developing national renewable energy policy, EERE has proposed to share information on best practice principles in renewable energy policy with Kazakh officials. EERE has also proposed to offer advice and input on policy design, legal and regulatory structures and conduct a review of the economic impacts of renewable energy development to be presented to government officials.
Wind Energy Cooperation
EERE has offered to partner with MEMR and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to develop a complementary geospatial toolkit which will integrate maps produced by UNDP in its wind resource assessment already underway for Kazakhstan. These tools will allow policymakers, planners and project developers to manipulate layers of geospatial data in order to understand the wind resources and how they interact with other geographically dependent data needed for project planning. The toolkit is also designed to feed resource information into HOMER, a power system optimization model developed by DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which helps the project designer understand the economic feasibility of different project design configurations and other variables.
Russian Federation
Memorandum of Understanding on Energy Cooperation
In 2009, in order to reinvigorate bilateral energy cooperation between the United States and the Russian Federation, DOE and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a framework for mutually beneficial energy cooperation. The U.S. and Russia have developed work plans and defined cooperative activities in the following areas:
- Energy security
- Energy efficiency
- Renewable energy sources
- Clean energy technology innovation
- Power sector infrastructure and smart-grid technology
- Biofuels and other alternatives to fossil fuels
- Influence of the fuel and energy complex on climate change and the environment
Energy Efficiency Action Plan
In July 2010, the United States and the Russian Federation jointly created proposals for future cooperation and action in energy efficiency. This action plan identifies several areas of cooperation in the area of energy management to be led by EERE and its Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP). Several of these areas for collaboration will help the Russian Federation develop and upgrade its domestic programs to measure energy and environmental performance of buildings and materials. EERE will also conduct workshops in Moscow for Russian government officials on a variety of energy management topics.

It is possible to create steam within seconds by focusing sunlight on nanoparticles mixed into water, according to new research.
That observation, reported Monday by scientists at Rice University in Texas, suggests myriad applications in places that lack electricity or burnable fuels. A sun-powered boiler could desalinate sea water, distill alcohol, sterilize medical equipment and perform other useful tasks.
