text: EUR/USD update (14th Dec 2011, 04:00) Visit Save For Later by Market Moves StaffPosted Share: 1 0 Get Forex News Alerts Related Articles See all Forex news Overnight, ongoing scepticism of the weekend's EU summit resolutions and a sense of hopelessness that the European crisis will drag on well into 2012 saw the euro breach key support levels and fall to its lowest level since January. Investors' hopes for a risk-infused rally into Christmas dissipated shortly after the summit, with volumes across the board falling dramatically as many traders have essentially 'shut up shop' for the year. Risk positions have been wound back and money is being parked in the relative safety of the USD and US treasuries. It is difficult to see this trend materially changing between now and the end of the year. Having ended yesterday's Australian session around the 1.32 mark, the euro lost favour during European trade and once it breached its technical support level of 1.3145 (the recent low of October 4), sellers moved in and sold it down to an overnight low of 1.3009. It recovered modestly to close at 1.3037. Upon reopening for Asian trade, the euro is little changed, continuing to move in the 1.3030s. Many currency strategists see the euro heading towards the 1.20 level, particularly if the ECB gets more involved and adopts some form of quantitative easing.

A new report from the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission gives us a peek into important trends regarding the future of education and confirms some of what we already know. Using a structured and targeted expert consultation exercise called "group concept mapping," the organization sought to identify, cluster, and rate the main changes in education and training expected to occur over the course of the next 20 years. The process yielded 203 unique ideas, grouped into 12 clusters and ranked for feasibility and importance.
Teaching and learning in higher ed have advanced incrementally alongside rapid changes in technology. Is it time for some radical shifts?
Students are moving away from their institutions in terms of their online "center." They engage independently in learning conversations using applications of their own choosing, and they create their own digital identity--all without using campus-based technology.
As information technology brings us a mind-numbing array of options for mobile learning experiences and communications, an age-old tension between two different visions of learning--content delivery versus discovery learning--intensifies. Along with this, our modern discussions of "student-centered learning" are moving into a more strategic realm.
In the high-intensity world of student prospecting, everyone is looking for a competitive edge--but one of the greatest "edges" you can have is to simply understand what prospective students want, need, and expect and align your actions accordingly. Prospecting expert Michael O'Hara suggests four strategies colleges and universities can adopt to increase success related to prospective students.
At the CT2010 Executive Summit on July 19 in Boston, the morning session was dedicated to a scan of the IT environment in higher education; the afternoon would focus participants' attention on leadership issues. Discussions suggested that the trend to exclude top IT leaders from the president's inner strategic circle was premature and perhaps ill advised. And that CIOs who represent their jobs as primarily or exclusively maintaining IT operations may be missing significant national trends and changes.
It is time to ask what outcomes we are looking for from education. Why are our "outcomes" now only about how well a student does in courses? Wouldn't it be better if students were evaluated on their evidence of learning, and wouldn't that kind of evaluation have more to do with real life?
Though centralized PC labs have been an important part of both campus space planning and IT infrastructure for the last two decades, this may be changing.
The Association for Authentic, Experiential, and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) had its first world conference this last week in Boston, co-located with Campus Technology 2010. The group of learning and assessment experts is organized around its members' interest in ePortfolios.
Defining appropriate room characteristics can simplify classroom design and improve the chances of its success as a teaching and learning space.

By Rodger Mullen Staff writer
Jeff Gary paced the sidewalk outside the Marquis Market on a Saturday night, reciting snatches of poetry under his breath.
He was waiting for his turn on stage at the monthly Marquis Slam poetry reading.
"I'm extremely nervous because I haven't slammed in seven months," said Gary said, an Army staff sergeant. "This is my coming out."
Minutes later, Gary, performing under the stage name UnOrthodocks, presented a poem about his love for his 5-year-old son, who is autistic. The audience and judges seemed to be moved.
"I look at it as, you have to get into character," Gary said. "Every time you get on stage, you have to go back to that time and place when you wrote that poem."
For poets like Gary, the slam meant baring their souls to a roomful of strangers and earning a chance at national recognition.
"It's just my creativity. I want to share that with everybody," said poet Maurice Gillespie. "It's an outlet to let my feelings out."
The format of a poetry slam is simple. Poets get a few minutes to recite their works, which are judged on both the quality of their work and their presentation.
The five-member judging panel includes literature professors and other poetry lovers. They rate the poets on a scale of one to 10, with the lowest and highest scores thrown out. The poets with the highest scores go on to following rounds until a winner is declared.
Eean Tyson, organizer of the Marquis Slam, figured Fayetteville was ready for its own poetry slam. Tyson is a local poet who works as military contractor. He has taken part in competitions, including the regional Southern Fried Poetry Slam, held last year in Tampa, Fla.
"Durham has a show, Charlotte has a show, pretty much all the major cities in North Carolina had one, and we didn't," Tyson said. "I wanted people to come here and see that Fayetteville has some talented people."
Tyson organized the first Marquis Slam in August. The first reading attracted about 40 people, growing to about 100 by the third show, Tyson said.
While slams are competitive, Tyson said, there's a supportive, relaxed atmosphere among the poets and the audience.
"I would say the best part is people coming up to you after the show and saying, 'I'm glad you did that poem because I was going through the same thing,' " Tyson said. "You form that kind of connection with the audience."
On a recent Saturday evening, the Marquis Market was packed. Guests lined up to pay the $5 admission charge at the Person Street restaurant. By showtime at 8 p.m., more than 150 people were seated.
Guests mingled before the show, sipping beer, wine or soft drinks and ordering sandwiches and other food from the restaurant counter.
About 40 of the guests were members of a professional women's social group called Sistas Living Life. The women wear purple T-shirts decorated with the group's name.
Erica Scott, an organizer of the group, said members meet regularly for dinner, movies and the occasional poetry slam.
"We just really enjoy the quality and content of the poetry," Scott said.
Karen Conner was waiting for the slam to begin with her 8-week-old daughter, Journey.
"I enjoy all kinds of art," Conner said. "The creative endeavor of the human spirit is beautiful."
Brittany Gendron and Charles Howard were having drinks as they waited for the show to begin.
Gendron said she competed in poetry slams when she was in college. Tonight, though, she was just listening.
"I think the best way to get to know people is through their writing," Gendron said. "It's a window into their soul."
Tyson, the evening's host, huddled with the poets before the show, explaining the format. The evening's special guest was Edward P. Mabrey Jr., a poetry slam champion from Charlotte. Mabrey, as much stand-up comedian as poet, set the tone for the evening with an hourlong set that mixed social commentary with humor and even a little song.
"Feel free to act the fool, make noise, say amen, whatever," Mabrey said.
After a short break, the slam competitors took the stage.
Kim McLean, 30, is a practiced poet, having competed since 2007.
"It's a means for me to tell my story," McLean said.
McLean's first poem of the night, "Greatest Touch," described her experiences living with lupus and receiving a kidney transplanted from her brother. McLean delivered an impassioned performance, her voice rising as she described her illness and the second chance at life the transplant gave her.
"To say that he changed my life is an understatement," McLean said in her poem. "He gave me life."
Most of the poets recited their work from memory, although at least one read from a piece of paper. One poet became flustered and left the stage when he forgot his words.
Mostly though, the performers sailed through their time on stage.
Maurice Gillespie drew laughs from the crowd for a humorous poem he called "Too Much Soda." Gillespie was loose and relaxed as he delivered the poem, smiling as the crowd applauded his words.
Kayla Rugg, 19, who performs under the name Reflexionz, read a poem titled "Fire."
"I get nervous before I go up there, but once I'm there, it's amazing," Rugg said before her performance. "All I see is my words."
The winner of the slam was Dasan Ahanu, who lives in Durham. Ahanu is a previous winner and host of Durham's Jambalaya Soul Slam.
Tyson said five Fayetteville poets will be chosen after April's slam to compete at shows in Greenville, S.C., and Boston.
But even for the poets who won't be chosen, the experience of sharing their words with a supportive, appreciative audience is nothing short of magical.
"Everyone is so embracing," Rugg said. "I get to learn from the best. I have so many mentors here."

Making Sense of Robert E. Lee
"It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it." — Robert E. Lee, at Fredericksburg.
- By Roy Blount, Jr.
- Smithsonian magazine, July 2003, Subscribe
Few figures in American history are more divisive, contradictory or elusive than Robert E. Lee, the reluctant, tragic leader of the Confederate Army, who died in his beloved Virginia at age 63 in 1870, five years after the end of the Civil War. In a new biography, Robert E. Lee, Roy Blount, Jr., treats Lee as a man of competing impulses, a "paragon of manliness" and "one of the greatest military commanders in history," who was nonetheless "not good at telling men what to do."
Blount, a noted humorist, journalist, playwright and raconteur, is the author or coauthor of 15 previous books and the editor of Roy Blount's Book of Southern Humor. Aresident of New York City and western Massachusetts, he traces his interest in Lee to his boyhood in Georgia. Though Blount was never a Civil War buff, he says "every Southerner has to make his peace with that War. I plunged back into it for this book, and am relieved to have emerged alive."
"Also," he says, "Lee reminds me in some ways of my father."
At the heart of Lee's story is one of the monumental choices in American history: revered for his honor, Lee resigned his U.S. Army commission to defend Virginia and fight for the Confederacy, on the side of slavery. "The decision was honorable by his standards of honor—which, whatever we may think of them, were neither self-serving nor complicated," Blount says. Lee "thought it was a bad idea for Virginia to secede, and God knows he was right, but secession had been more or less democratically decided upon." Lee's family held slaves, and he himself was at best ambiguous on the subject, leading some of his defenders over the years to discount slavery's significance in assessments of his character. Blount argues that the issue does matter: "To me it's slavery, much more than secession as such, that casts a shadow over Lee's honorableness."
In the excerpt that follows, the general masses his troops for a battle over three humid July days in a Pennsylvania town. Its name would thereafter resound with courage, casualties and miscalculation: Gettysburg.
In his dashing (if sometimes depressive) antebellum prime, he may have been the most beautiful person in America, a sort of precursorcross between Cary Grant and Randolph Scott. He was in his element gossiping with belles about their beaux at balls. In theaters of grinding, hellish human carnage he kept a pet hen for company. He had tiny feet that he loved his children to tickle None of these things seems to fit, for if ever there was a grave American icon, it is Robert Edward Lee—hero of the Confederacy in the Civil War and a symbol of nobility to some, of slavery to others.
After Lee's death in 1870, Frederick Douglass, the former fugitive slave who had become the nation's most prominent African-American, wrote, "We can scarcely take up a newspaper . . . that is not filled with nauseating flatteries" of Lee, from which "it would seem . . . that the soldier who kills the most men in battle, even in a bad cause, is the greatest Christian, and entitled to the highest place in heaven." Two years later one of Lee's ex-generals, Jubal A. Early, apotheosized his late commander as follows: "Our beloved Chief stands, like some lofty column which rears its head among the highest, in grandeur, simple, pure and sublime."
In 1907, on the 100th anniversary of Lee's birth, President Theodore Roosevelt expressed mainstream American sentiment, praising Lee's "extraordinary skill as a General, his dauntless courage and high leadership," adding, "He stood that hardest of all strains, the strain of bearing himself well through the gray evening of failure; and therefore out of what seemed failure he helped to build the wonderful and mighty triumph of our national life, in which all his countrymen, north and south, share."
We may think we know Lee because we have a mental image: gray. Not only the uniform, the mythic horse, the hair and beard, but the resignation with which he accepted dreary burdens that offered "neither pleasure nor advantage": in particular, the Confederacy, a cause of which he took a dim view until he went to war for it. He did not see right and wrong in tones of gray, and yet his moralizing could generate a fog, as in a letter from the front to his invalid wife: "You must endeavour to enjoy the pleasure of doing good. That is all that makes life valuable." All right. But then he adds: "When I measure my own by that standard I am filled with confusion and despair."
His own hand probably never drew human blood nor fired a shot in anger, and his only Civil War wound was a faint scratch on the cheek from a sharpshooter's bullet, but many thousands of men died quite horribly in battles where he was the dominant spirit, and most of the casualties were on the other side. If we take as a given Lee's granitic conviction that everything is God's will, however, he was born to lose.
As battlefield generals go, he could be extremely fiery, and could go out of his way to be kind. But in even the most sympathetic versions of his life story he comes across as a bit of a stick—certainly compared with his scruffy nemesis, Ulysses S. Grant; his zany, ferocious "right arm," Stonewall Jackson; and the dashing "eyes" of his army, J.E.B. "Jeb" Stuart. For these men, the Civil War was just the ticket. Lee, however, has come down in history as too fine for the bloodbath of 1861-65. To efface the squalor and horror of the war, we have the image of Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves, and we have the image of Robert E. Lee's gracious surrender. Still, for many contemporary Americans, Lee is at best the moral equivalent of Hitler's brilliant field marshal Erwin Rommel (who, however, turned against Hitler, as Lee never did against Jefferson Davis, who, to be sure, was no Hitler).
On his father's side, Lee's family was among Virginia's and therefore the nation's most distinguished. Henry, the scion who was to become known in the Revolutionary War as Light-Horse Harry, was born in 1756. He graduated from Princeton at 19 and joined the Continental Army at 20 as a captain of dragoons, and he rose in rank and independence to command Lee's light cavalry and then Lee's legion of cavalry and infantry. Without the medicines, elixirs, and food Harry Lee's raiders captured from the enemy, George Washington's army would not likely have survived the harrowing winter encampment of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. Washington became his patron and close friend. With the war nearly over, however, Harry decided he was underappreciated, so he impulsively resigned from the army. In 1785, he was elected to the Continental Congress, and in 1791 he was elected governor of Virginia. In 1794 Washington put him in command of the troops that bloodlessly put down the Whiskey Rebellion in western Pennsylvania. In 1799 he was elected to the U.S. Congress, where he famously eulogized Washington as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."

SMithsonian should do a little more homework. They apparently have accepted as factual every goofy deception by Douglass SOuthall Freeman, who wrote probably the most singularly fraudulent biography in American History. No deception was too absurd for Freeman to vouch for. The main one, briefly-- Freeman insisted Lee's "servants" (he could hardly admit Lee had slaves) loved him. How did he arrive at this? By quoting a black "preacher" named Rev Mack Lee. The good Rev made a living speaking to white groups in the South, praising Lee, and raising money for his church. He always just needed 500 more dollars. Rev Mack Lee, according to Freeman, wrote a book telling all kinds of wonderful things about Lee, how kind he was, how brave. Rev said he was Lee's personal slave every day of the war. Utter nonsense. And Freeman knew it. Freeman knew the names of Lee's personal slaves, of course, and they weren't Mack Lee. Rev would tell the white audiences that he had "every faith" in whites to treat blacks like God wanted, and that blacks should learn to respect whites. Douglas Freeman acted as if it was a "book". IT was a pamphlet the Rev handed out in towns he was going to speak at. The pamphlet told whites to "find me on the street" where he would be walking up and down collecting money for his "church". In other words THIS is the guy Freeman said proved Lee's slaves loved him. Remember that, Freeman knew Rev Mack was an imposter. It was on the basis of this fraud that Freeman said "Those who knew Lee best, loved him most". He was talking about the SLAVES!! But that's just the problem. Lee's slaves hated him. SO using Freeman's own measuring stick -- what Lee's slave thought of him -- Lee was therefore a despicable man. Actually we know Lee's slaves HATED him. Lee's own letters and slave ledgers still exist. Lee's slav

Anyone who could speak I'll of Robert E. Lee has not studied his life, nor considered the choices which he faced. He was brilliant in battle. His strategies are still studied today in our war colleges. The great Erwin Rommel admired his tactics and mimicked them in WWII. He was a great man.

I am descended from Richard Lee, the original immigrant who arrived in 1620 or so, my ancestor being a John Lee of Norfolk married to Sarah Jane Brazill. From 1620 to 1860, the time of Richard Lee to Robert E. Lee, was 240 years. In that period the Lee clan multiplied so that Virginia was basically Lee Country, with thousands of members by the time of the Civil War. To keep perspective, the time from the Civil War to now, 1860 to 2012 is about 152 years, just over half the time. Robert E. Lee was faced with the choice of supporting his huge family and state, or supporting the larger Union and fighting against slavery. He very much wanted to support the Union, but he reluctantly chose family over the Union when his family and state made their democratic choice. He made his choice to side on the wrong side and lost. Ironically, Abraham Lincoln's mother was also from the Lee family of Virginia, so unknown to both men, they were cousins.

I would love to know why we castigate Historians who are critical of the abhorrent practice of Chattel Slavery as providing 21st Century moral concepts on 18th-19th Century realities. Do we brush off the infanticide that was practiced in rural areas in Roman times, or cannibalism of 19th Century Africa. Do we wink at the Mongols slaughtering the whole population of a city who had the gall to resist their conquest. Do we shrug our shoulders at the Inquisitors who would break body, and mind on the rack and condemn the victim to death by fire for not believing in the same religious views. Of course not. But we give a giant pass to those who committed treason and warred on the United States to terrible effect, simply to hold other people in bondage. They were such gentlemen and so brave, but even if Lee didn't he must have known quite a few of his fellow slave owners who took the bodies of their female slaves, whipped branded and tortured the recalcitrant males, sold off children from their parents, and lived a dissolute life on the backs of unpaid sweat. Some Southern Gentleman, The Myth of the Lost Cause lives on to the eternal detriment of this country.

I have never understood the esteem in which General Lee is held as a military man. He wasted the advantage he had in the fighting quality of his troops in conventional battles in which the superior numbers and material of his adversaries could overcome that quality. He surrendered his army rather than dispersing it to fight again. Had he commanded the colonial army rather than Washington, there would have been no USA from which to secede.

Mr. Blount, while the main body of your article is cogent enough and somewhat entertaining, your opening betrays a sense of confusion about who you are and what, therefore, you should think of Robert E. Lee. If you want to continue claiming to be a Southerner, may I suggest you return to the South and write from your home, as Faulkner did. I think you must have spent too much time among the Yankees. Either quit chasing them and come home, or give up posing as a Southerner for people who will never really appreciate it.

D. Lawrence's comment is dead-on. It is pointless to judge 19th century lives by 21st century standards of morality. We certainly don't see the Union government suffering the same moral repudiation for their genocide of the Native Americans which they committed after the 'war against slavery.' Moreover, slavery was no more the reason for the war than the iceburg was to blame for the Titanic. It was everpresent and provided the gash; but, it was not the animated forces - the decisions of men - which actually caused the tragedy. If 'free' black men and women in Africa could have known how much better (longer, healthier, free from tribal wars and genital mutilation of women) their lives would be as slaves in America, they would have lined up to get on the boats. Slavery is never an admired station that anyone would aspire to, but it was the best station available for blacks of that time - and better than living 'free' in Africa. Lee was plainly a compassionate man and ahead of his time. Indeed, it is only in the last 30 years that he has been re-defined as immoral and out-of-touch with 'universal ethics' about slavery. I submit it is his modern inquisitors who are out-of-touch.

The Union, led by McClellan, almost overwhelmed the Confederates in 1862 before Richmond, just before RE Lee took over the Army of Northern Virginia. In 1862 slavery would have been maintained if the South had returned to the Union right then. But Lee prolonged the war by his generalship with the result that the war aims changed and the war became a war against slavery. Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation and one result of the war was freeing the slaves. This was the consequence of Lee's generalship. This always seems so strange and ironic, so providential.
Then too we might have had guerrilla war after 1865 if Lee had not told the soldiers to go home and be good citizens at the end of the war. We can see from what happened in other countries how terrible that would have been. This article seems rather silly and flippant about Lee compared to the reality of the man, his life and the consequences of his life.

Lee resigned his U.S. Army commission to defend Virginia and fight for the Confederacy, on the side of slavery.
This is untrue. Lee was bigger than this. It was about States Rights. Slavery was a secondary issue even with Lincoln.

What's to make sense? A traitor that betrayed the oath he took at the United States Military Academy to fight for the evil cause of slavery. No "state's right" candy can cover the fact that the 'right' he helped kill over half a million people for was the continuation and expansion of human chattel slavery. His brilliance protracted the war and made things worse for everybody. I am a Virginian, and a white male combat vet, but I think he should be remembered with the same disrespect as the equally brilliant German and Japanese generals we fought in WWII, For he was a warrior for the same kind of race-obsessed slavers and aristocrats. He betrayed the Revolution, and everything it stood for.

Cemetery Ridge not Missionary Ridge. And Lee surrendered 26,000 men not 10,000.
Also do not underestimate his post-war importance which helped seal his legacy. He was being urged from many directions to begin an "asymetric" war which would probably still be going on but instead chose to set the example which most of the other Confederate generals followed. Second he encouraged his former soldiers to ungrudgingly embrace their roles as citizens of a reunited country instead of encouraging their resentment of their former enemy. Lastly though very much a product of his time he set the example of treating former slaves with dignity and respect.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Lee in how he conducted himself in April 1865 and thereafter. More than any other Southerner, his grace in defeat helped stop the bleeding. A different man would have encouraged the South to fight on in whatever way was possible, including guerrilla war and terrorism.
That said, Lee was not the brilliant general he has been made out to be. He was aggressive and won a lot of battles against hesitant commanders - but his aggression was extremely ill-suited to the strategic situation facing the South.
Even in some of Lee's greatest victories, he lost a higher percentage of his army than his enemy - and the North could replace the men.
Lee bled the Army of Northern Virginia to death.

MR Blount,
This is a fantasic article and well researched and very objective. The question on why Lee was agressive on the 2nd and 3rd of July may well be explained because of the reason he moved North at all.
In early June Lee met with Davis and others in Richmond. There was a crisis in Mississippi. Grant had been operating near Vicksburg since the 1st of May and had beaten back Pemberton into a seige after beating back Joe Johnston's army at Jackson, Mississippi.
Davis andthe cabinet asked Lee about what to do in the West. Lee's answer was an offensive from Virginia to the North where he would crush the Army of the Potomac. More pragmatic memebers of the Confederate Cabinet prefered Lee going to Vicksburg to lead the relief column.
In the end Lee's recomendation won out and in Mid June Lee prepared and launched his offensive North to relieve pressure on Vicksburg as Vicksburg was in the final stages of its survival. by early July, Lee needed to crush Meade because Grant had crushed Pemberton.
Mid July was a very desperate time in the Confederacy. Grant had removed his second Confederate Army from the field, cut off the Trans Mississippi and occupied all of Mississippi. Rosecrans had moved south from Nashville to the Tennessee/Georgia border and Lee was pushed out of Virginia.
The Confederacy was literally cut in half, with only Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama in relative secure Confederate hands.
Lee's colossal miscalculation of the stratergic situation is a lasting legacy that has to be balanced against the standard accepted view of this man.

For what it is worth I am close kin to Robert E LEE my great granddaddys name is Jim henrylee.

Robert E. Lee stated to a friend If Virginia stands by the old Union , so will I. But if she secedes then I will follow my native state with my sword, and if need be with my life. He also stated he abhors slavery. from Winston S Churchill's History of English Speaking People.
Now let me put my two cents in. I am an immigrant from England nearly seventy five years. I am a Korean Veteran(US Army). I love this Republic Democracy. But it it took over a hundred years: because of the Civil War: before we came one nation. Slavery was the immediate cause but the main cause was that we were a divided nation. Also I am saying the Civil War was the real Revolutionary war.

Ethics and morals are not subjective. You are said to be who you really are in bad times as in good. There is an old saying that " Just because you can, does not mean you should" even if it is the law of a land. Conscience is all that seperates us from the animals. A man knows he should not be owned and knows he should not own another man. One random act of a General towards a personal slave does not override the actions of a General who sought to keep enslaved many more. It is at best Hypocracy. God help us when we excuse such behavior and idiology.
Posted by jo on April 12,2011 | 01:42 PM
I weary at historians who impose 21st Century moral concepts
on 18th and 19th Century reality. Slavery was legal, protected by
Constitution. It was a tool of agrarian economic endeavor.
To question Lee's honor on the issue of slavery is an
injustice to the man. He was not a superman, or a diety,
but he was a highly honorable man. He accepted the
outcome of the war and, the abolishment of slavery and urged
his followers to do the same.
Frederick Douglas's comments on Lee at Lee's death are understandable, but wrong.
Lee also reminds me of my father.
Posted by Doug Lawrence on January 28,2011 | 02:44 PM
Why is there no picture of Lee, only one of his father? Seems odd.
Posted by B D on December 22,2010 | 12:04 AM
You fail to mention that Lee once left his post to nurse the family servant when he became ill- and had him buried next to Lee's mother in the family plot when he passed-fitting for the man who raised him, slave or otherwise. Lee's speech on leaving the Union mentioned his opposition to Lincoln's centralized Republic and how it resembled George Washington's opposition England. This was something Lee found disturbing and was obviously one of the important factors in his choosing to side with the South.

Three days into the new Joint Field Office for Alabama tornado recovery, Federal Coordinating Officer Joe Girot and his team joined the largest earthquake drill in Region IV's history -- the Great Central U.S. ShakeOut. Safety officers Hal Pashon and Rob Dahlman briefed the team in advance on what to expect. Hal explained that when the alarm sounded, all staff should be ready to drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy table or other piece of furniture, and hold on to something to gain stability.
Pelham, Ala., Feb. 7, 2012 -- Hal Pashon, FEMA Safety Officer, leads the "ShakeOut" in the Joint Field Office in Pelham, Alabama. During the statewide earthquake drill, employees drop to the ground, take cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on until the shaking stops. The drill aims to promote earthquake preparedness.
Approximately 70 people were in the JFO during the drill and all participated in what Pashon called, "a great learning experience." For some, especially employees living in Alabama and local hires, it was their first experience with an earthquake exercise. According to the National Geological Survey, living far from the West Coast of the United States doesn't ensure safety from earthquakes. While the West Coast does have a high probability of earthquakes, a potentially hazardous area also fans out from the "New Madrid" fault line that straddles Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky. Repercussions from earthquakes along this fault line could affect more than 15 million people in eight states – Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee.
Pelham, Ala., Feb. 7, 2012 -- Abraham Mercado, IT specialist, participates in the "ShakeOut" earthquake drill in the Joint Field Office in Pelham, Ala. During the drill, employees dropped to the ground, took cover by getting under a sturdy desk or table, and held on to a heavy object for stability. The drill aims to promote earthquake preparedness.
Following the drill, Hal distributed additional information on how one should respond to a quake under different circumstances, including being indoors vs. outdoors, in a downtown area, in a moving vehicle and trapped under debris.
Joe said he was pleased with the response from his team:
As emergency responders, we aren't able to help other people after a disaster if we don't know how to take care of ourselves during one. This exercise was a great learning opportunity for us and gave us better perspective on the real-life preparation and vigilance required to survive an earthquake.

Molise PR had the pleasure of working with Chicago Opera Theater and Michelle Durpretti Events for a magical evening at the 2012 annual gala "A Celebration Less Ordinary" on March 11th.
Over 200 guests of this gala enjoyed a behind the scenes peek into the world of Chicago Opera Theater filled with Latin-inspired bites and beats from Carnivale. Tiffany & Co. brought heat to the evening with a pulse-raising raffle including three prizes, raising over $4,000.
The night continued with performances from Outstanding Young Singer Award Nominees and Master of Ceremonies Sylvia McNair; followed by Sylvia's presentation of a surprise "good-bye" film to Brian Dickie and gala guests. The night closed with a speech from the honoree himself. By the end of this lavish evening, "A Celebration Less Ordinary" grossed over $190,000 total for Chicago Opera Theater.

"Der Neidkopf auf Burg Ludwigstein".
Notgeld, 1921.
I collect Notgeld (German money printed by independent states/cities/towns as emergency currency - see this wikipedia article for more info!)
This is from 1921, and is Serienscheine, so it was printed for collectors rather than for use as actual currency. Really great German expressionist artwork, although disturbing to think that this was printed for collectors when families like this actually were starving in Germany.

Lee: We'll work hard to improve
Tommy Lee, one of three new signings for the Broncos in 2013, says the team will work hard to improve ahead of the trip to one of his former clubs, Huddersfield Giants.
The Broncos travel to Huddersfield on Sunday February 10 for a 3:00pm kick-off and Lee knows there's a tough week of training ahead.
"We're obviously disappointed with the overall performance but based on the build-up and the way we've prepared and trained, I thought we could have done things a lot better. Obviously it's a long season so we're not going to be too disheartened.
"We know we've got a lot of things to improve on next week against a tough Huddersfield team. It'll be a tough week training and we're back into it. We know we've got a lot of improvement and we're a better team than that."
Lee played a part in all three pre-season friendly games and scored a try against London Skolars and says he was pleased to make his Super League debut for the club saying: "It's a new start and a new team so it was good to play alongside some of the blokes. It's been a long three months pre-season and it was good to get out there."
On playing at The Stoop he said: "I really enjoyed it, I like the stadium and I thought the fans were good. I knew I'd start off the bench and come on for Chad [Randall], I was patient but I was also anxious to get on. It's not the best being on the bench but once I got on I enjoyed it. It was just a disappointing result.
"Looking at the results already this season St Helens have had a poor start, we've had a poor start but there's a long way to go, we'll knuckle down at training and work hard to improve."
The Broncos face Huddersfield Giants on Sunday (kick-off 3:00pm) before returning to The Twickenham Stoop on Sunday February 17 to play Wakefield Trinity Wildcats (kick-off 3:00pm).
Match tickets are available now for the next home game against Wakefield Wildcats on Sunday February 17th, visit www.londonbroncosrl.com/buy for details, for Hospitality call 020 8394 6161 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

CHESHIRE -- Everything was going right for the Hoosac Valley boys' basketball team to start Thursday night.
The Hurricanes built a quick lead and had all the momentum. It didn't last for long, however. Pittsfield's Amancho Adopo stole the show for the Generals, as they ran past Hoosac 66-44.
He did get some help from his teammates -- Aaron Bradley scored 19 points -- but Adopo dominated the night. He scored a game-high 24 points, snatched 21 rebounds and dished the ball away for 11 assists on his way to a triple-double.
"We go as he goes, obviously," Pittsfield coach Steve Ray said. "He's been putting up triple-doubles every night for us."
Adopo started slow, but came on strong at the end of the first quarter. He scored four points and pulled down four rebounds in the final two minutes of the quarter.
"I'm proud of myself," Adopo said. "I'm a guard so it's a big accomplishment for me to have a lot of rebounds. A lot of my offense starts from them."
Hoosac's Matt Braman and Corey Puccio dominated the early part of the first quarter for the Hurricanes. Puccio scored nine points, including two 3-pointers. Braman had eight points. Despite not scoring in the first quarter, Trevor Alibozek also had a strong start. He pulled down several of his 13 rebounds in the first eight minutes.
The Hurricanes started with a 12-4 run on their way to a 17-11 advantage after one quarter.
Then things went south.
"We got out of our focus," Braman said. "We started to tense up and didn't play loose like we were in the first quarter. We didn't play Hurricane basketball."
Hoosac scored just four points in the second quarter. They added only six in the third. Pittsfield responded with 11 points in the second and 20 in the third.
Adopo had 14 points in that time span.
"[Pittsfield] went to a 1-3-1 zone and we stopped playing offense," Hoosac coach Bill Robinson said. "We're not getting any offensive rebounds at all. We're not hitting the glass at all. It's one shot and done every time. That's our problem."
The defensive change was key for Pittsfield in turning the slow start into a dominating performance. Puccio didn't hit another shot until the fourth quarter. Braman was held to just two points in the second. Only six Hurricanes registered points on the night.
"It was our defense," Adopo said. "It's all defense. We scored off our defense. That's what we do best, we push the ball."
Rebounding was also a main difference. In addition to Adopo's 21, six other Generals had rebounds. Bradley had nine on the night.
For Hoosac, seven players grabbed a rebound, but only two had two or more. Alibozek led the way with 13 and Andrew Milesi had four.
"Adopo, you saw him go to the glass today," Robinson said. "Every time they missed a shot, Adopo was going from the top of the key or the wing to the glass. Our guys just stand and watch.
"If Trevor doesn't rebound for us, we don't get a rebound, at least that's what it seems like."
