The Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (G/TIP) hosted the 2010 Conference for Potential Bidders on October 26, 2010 to provide information and technical assistance regarding the upcoming Fiscal Year 2011 grant solicitations. Speaker's presentations are included below for reference.
The Case for Measuring Impact: Two Examples
Marisa Ferri
Deputy Senior Coordinator for International Programs
Peru – CHS Alternativo
- Peruvian National Police Awareness and Training Program - RETA
- 1-year project, building on existing one
India – Free the Slaves
- Mobilizing Local Power to End Trafficking: Combating Trafficking in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
- 2-year project, building on existing one
Peruvian National Police Awareness and Training Program - RETA
Goal: To train national police officers in the identification of TIP victims and traffickers.
- Increased number of police operations, victims identified and rescued, traffickers identified, public awareness and media attention for the crime of TIP, and data on TIP in Peru.
- Institutionalization of the training into the national police academy and sub-officer schools.
- 491 national police officers trained in basic identification of victims of trafficking and use of the RETA system.
- 79 police officers received 480 hours of ongoing in-person and distance learning training.
- Officers completing the intensive course received a certification, making them eligible for promotion.
- Number of cases more than doubled from 103 to 227 in one year
- Increase in the number of police operations reported - 38
- 105 victims identified and rescued
- 20 concrete prevention measures undertaken
- Data collected by the system illustrates trends and influences design of prevention programs and interventions
- Officers trained receive a bi-weekly bulletin with the latest TIP and related information
- 31 different news stories mentioning the RETA PNP system
- Participation in the specialized course doubled from the first to the second session.
- The course has been institutionalized in the national police academy and in the curriculum of the sub-officer schools.
- There is now a waiting list for participation.
Mobilizing Local Power to End Trafficking: Combating TIP in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh
Goal: To change the existing economic and political power dynamics that enable slavery to occur in these locations.
- Community Vigilance Committees (CVC) created in 200 communities.
- Increased number of victims identified and rescued.
- Project selected and trained teachers, police and village guards, media, and government officials to report signs of potential slavery to district coordinators and local police.
- Focused not only on prosecution and services for victims of trafficking, but on strategies through which communities could prevent their members from being exploited.
- CVCs and transportation officials were the leading source of new prosecutions against traffickers and slaveholders between 2007 and 2009.
- Immediately following training in the Mirzapur District, officials reported 10 TIP cases to the district coordinator.
- Following training in the Varanasi District, officials conducted a raid in which 5 adults and 1 child were rescued from slavery.
- DDWS rescued 624 children through 98 rescue operations over a two-year period.
- In the last year of the project alone, 444 victims of trafficking were rescued through 56 rescue operations.
- 292 families received government rehabilitation grants for families of TIP survivors.
- 121 cases filed against traffickers or slaveholders.
- In the Mirzapur District of Uttar Pradesh, 70 bonded labors from stone mines were released, obtained Release Certificates, compensation, and livelihood assistance.
- Today, this group of former slaves is now active in searching out other persons enslaved in the District.
- One of the victims served was an 18-year old woman abducted on her way to work. Her abductors intended for her to work in a brothel, but she struggled and was able to escape them after being raped in a field. When her family went with her to the police station, the police first refused to register the case because the traffickers were influential in the community.
- The woman's family consequently alerted the CVC in their village, which called the DDWS fieldworker who regularly visits that area. He went with the family to the police station, bringing with him a lawyer and a couple of newspaper reporters. This time the case was registered and prosecuted. In less than a year, they obtained a ten year sentence for the traffickers and the woman's family receives financial assistance to invest in an income-generating activity to help the family move out of poverty.

Archive for the 'Western Star' tag
The mine is mine
Western Star and J&J Truck Bodies and Trailers of Somerset, Pennsylvania, are building this beast for mining and ultra-heavy construction.
Not sure why, but in upstate New York and nearby Vermont, you see a preponderance of Western Star trucks on the highways. A majority of them are engaged in construction, logging and, yes, the hauling of raw milk in polished tank trailers. Okay, so maybe it's the idea of a rugged western truck in the frigid East that's a little sideways. This next application is a little more in character.
Western Star has teamed up with J&J Truck Bodies and Trailers of Somerset, Pennsylvania, to build this beast for mining and ultra-heavy construction jobs. It's assembled on the Western Star 6900XD chassis, powered by a 475hp turbocharged Detroit Diesel 14-L and six-speed Allison automatic, giving it a 40-ton deadweight capacity. J&J then adds its Hardox 400 dump box. Western Star, an operating unit of Daimler Trucks, is based in Redford Township, Michigan, outside Detroit.

Trucks and Country In Stereo
When you form a mental image of a big Kenworth, Peterbilt or Western Star roaring into sight with both exhausts blasting black soot skyward, what's the 10-20 of your fantasy? Not climbing out of the Lincoln Tunnel into a bunch of stopped-up taxis in Manhattan, we bet. Real truckers truly are the last American cowboys, so trucking country, out of righteousness, is, well, country. You'll never hear a trucking ballad that wails about pulling into the South Bronx's Hunts Point Market at 2:30 a.m.
With that in mind, we'd like to bring you up to date on two Antique Truck Club of America events to be hosted at some appropriately truck-centric locations in the immediate future.
The first takes place July 30 and 31 at Lakemont Park in Altoona, Pennsylvania, just off the Frankstown Road exit of new U.S. 220 at Interstate 99. Altoona was a key transportation hub in the 1800s, as the Pennsylvania Railroad's Horse Shoe Curve first lifted trains over the summit of the Allegheny Mountains. In the 20th century, before the Pennsylvania Turnpike was built, U.S. 22, with its treacherous grades and switchbacks, was the main route across central Pennsylvania. For information on the Altoona show, call Brad Hileman at 814-943-9947.
Next comes one of New England's real biggies, the ATCA's 19th Annual Rutland Trucks show, set for Aug. 7 at the Vermont State Fairgrounds in Rutland, Vermont, located on U.S. Route 7 about 50 miles north HMN headquarters in Bennington. It's sponsored by the ATCA's aptly named Green Mountain Bulldawgs Chapter, and held at one of America's purest country fairgrounds. Need more info? Call Dave Zsido, 802-775-6576.
Can't make it all the way to Vermont? Then check out the 19th annual Truck, Farm and Construction show at the fairgrounds in Batavia, New York, on Route 5 just east of the city. It's sponsored by the Western New York Chapter of the American Truck Historical society. George Pursel can tighten you up with all the relevant data; call him at 585-768-6503 or 585-768-6765.
Finally, there's an open house and truck show set for Aug. 12th and 13th, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Rogers Brothers Corp. a specialty and heavy-haul trailer fabricator located in Albion, PA, between Meadville and Erie in the extreme northwestern corner of the state. For information, give Rogers a call at 800-441-9880.

In the past few years, the Glen Canyon Institute, Sierra Club, SUWA, and others have made quite a push to generate support for draining Lake Powell. It's an action that many of us wish could happen, but it won't happen. There are several reasons. Even though many people's sentiments are toward red rocks, wilderness and solitude; the hard realities are industry, commerce, and recreation.
There was a time when we might have saved Glen Canyon. But that time was 50 years ago. It's too late now. We've become addicted to the watery playground, the cheap hydropower, and the vast supply of good water. Several cities, states, and industries have siphons in the lake now and they won't give them up anytime soon.
The ideas behind constructing the dam were sound. In the early days, most of the water in the Colorado River ended up in the Pacific Ocean. Because of rough topography, only a small percentage could be diverted from the river and used. And then too, the flow was seasonal with most of the water coming in the early spring when it wasn't needed for agriculture. Countless billions of gallons flowed past our farms, ranches, and cities, and then mixed with salt water in the Gulf of California. To the ever-practical children of American pioneers who were in control of things at that time, the water was wasted.
There is only one way to store water, and that is to hold it behind a dam until it is needed. The Army Corps of Engineers constructed a whole series of dams on the Missouri River in the first half of the 20th century, and then turned their focus on the Colorado. The first venture was Boulder Dam in Nevada. After that, a dam was proposed for the Grand Canyon, and then a series of smaller dams upstream from the Grand Canyon.
Predictably, the Grand Canyon dam idea was shot down, and the fledgling environmental groups of the time fought to keep a dam out of Echo Park, on the Green River near Vernal. Glen Canyon was flooded as a compromise. Unfortunately, it was "the place no one knew" (the title of a book). And now, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California all benefit from Lake Powell. The dam provides cheap hydropower while the reservoir provides water and billions of dollars from recreation.
The lake will never be drained, and the reason was brought home to me forcefully last year. A group of us were sitting on a rocky shore, looking down on the dark water of Lake Powell. Before us stood a man who was on the board of directors of the Glen Canyon Institute.
The GCI man went into a very impassioned speech about why the lake should be drained and the canyon restored to its natural condition. He was preaching to the choir. Those of us gathered that day were from two families who had lived in the canyon before the lake was there. We knew what had been lost.
Jack Winn, a resident of Moab, listened to the GCI man for a while, and then he said, "They'll never drain this lake. You people won't let them."
The GCI man was taken by surprise. "I represent an organization that is doing everything we can to drain this lake," he said with some exasperation.
"Yes," replied Winn, "but we need the power and we need the water. Where are we going to get them if we drain this lake?"
"They can build power plants somewhere else," the man replied. "And they can build dams somewhere else too."
"No they can't," Winn replied sadly. "You people won't let them. You killed the Kaiparowitz power project a few years ago, and you sue every time anyone starts talking about building another dam or another power plant. I hate this lake too, and you people are making sure that it stays here."
Silence hung heavy in the air for a time. Only the sound of waves lapping against sandstone interrupted our private thoughts.
I read the opposing editorial about draining Lake Powell over and over again trying to get the focus of it. I began to realize that the issue wasn't about draining or not draining the reservoir at all. It really boiled down to the same old tired argument that environmentalists won't let any progress be made. That is not the case at all.
Of course if you lump every environmental group together and take the extreme to define them, that will be the case. Most groups are looking for ways to progress without destroying things in the process. Putting dams in places where they should not be put is one example.
Dams are a technology that has to be done right in order to do what they are designed for. Water storage and power generation are the main issues. Recreation is a bonus. Solid canyon walls that also have a guaranteed source of runoff make for a good dam. Deep is also good because it minimizes evaporation. We used up many of the best sites generations ago. The Colorado River has always been known as a super silty waterway. Its flow fluctuates greatly depending on the time of year and whether or not we are in a drought cycle. The treaty that was signed designating Colorado River Water Rights was based on water flows from an unusual and rare high water cycle.
By damming up and siphoning off the Colorado at every point we can, we have effectively stopped a once mighty river from reaching the sea. It dries up before it reaches its delta. Will breaching the dam fix that? No. But it would allow the area below the dam and the canyons that make up the reservoir to begin to heal.
It is only a matter of when before the lake is rendered unusable anyway. The silt that is carried into it has begun to fill it even faster than expected. The evaporation rate of the water is incredible. Open water storage in a hot arid climate makes no sense at all. As the lake fills up from the bottom with silt it will become more and more shallow. Shallow water evaporates faster. So eventually, even a series of great water years won't be able to help.
The great construction era is over. We cannot rely on building our way out of trouble any more. Our population is encroaching on the areas we always thought would be available to put power plants, dams and mines on. No one wants these in their back yards. It is amazing how quick people will side with environmentalists when a methane well is proposed in a few miles of the dream home they just built so they could be out in the wild.
We need power, water, and recreation sites. We want them to be safe, secure and some where else. Environmentalists fight those battles for us. We join in when the fight affects our way of living. We also point fingers when it only affects someone else. I am humored by the new wilderness area that our congressional delegates pushed through so they could stop the Goshute tribe from operating their nuclear storage site.
We no longer can see hundreds of miles here in our own valley because we have three power plants here generating power for us and many others. We live with it because it creates good paying jobs and allows us to have a good local economy.
We also are told that they are operating fairly clean. I know that there is technology that can be added to make the plants even cleaner. It would cost the companies money to install this technology and create a bit of down time. Why don't we, as a community, demand the cleaner technology? Because we are afraid the plants would close and our economy would be devastated. So we live with this pollution.
It is easy for industry to point the finger at environmentalists when they want to do things as cheaply as possible. Environmentalists aren't necessarily saying don't do it, they are saying do it right so we all can live a healthy life.
Lake Powell will stay and slowly fade away. It will serve as a reminder that we cannot conquer our environment, we must find ways to live in harmony with it. I truly think that is why we were given the power and the brains to develop new technology. We have been entrusted as caretakers of all that is here, not its conqueror.

Bill: It is we who attended that owe you the thanks for hosting this gathering. I am sure that I speak for everyone in saying that the time and energy that you put into making us all feel welcome, guiding us around to some interesting spots that we would likely have not found ourselves, and unselfishly sharing your knowledge was way above what anyone could have expected. It was also great to meet and talk face to face with others from our online community. I'm already looking forward to next year, and heartily recommend to the rest of the Michigan Apuggers that you do not miss it!
I for one cannot wait to get into the darkroom and start processing film from the trip.
Thanks again,

FYI, DOOM does not use bitmaps. All the graphics in DOOM, including the titlescreen, have to be in a column/post format that is unique to the game, and is designed for maximum efficiency in a column-based renderer like the one that DOOM uses. Anytime you use WinTex or deutex to insert a graphic, it is being converted from BMP to this format behind your back, and vice versa when you extract them.
If you use some binary tool to put a bitmap directly into a WAD lump, you'll find out fast.

The National Institutes of Health, hosted its second career
symposium on May 19, 2009 in the Natcher Conference Center. The
event, organized by the Office of Intramural Training & Education
(OITE), for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees included
presentations from more than 80 speakers about a variety of careers
for scientists. More than 1,000 participants were registered
to attend, including guests from many local universities.
The NIH Career Symposium provides an opportunity for young scientists to learn about the career opportunities available to them and to explore factors that lead to career success.
"In our global economy PhD-level scientists work in many areas of
the public and private sector — in jobs that were not even conceived of when
I was a graduate student 20 years ago." said Sharon Milgram, Ph.D., director
of the OITE. "The goal of this symposium is to help this next generation of
scientists to contribute to — and compete successfully for — science jobs of
the new millennium."
Panel sessions focused on careers in science writing, teaching in a variety of settings, grants administration, public policy, and both research-intensive careers and careers away from the bench in all sectors. Workshops addressed professional skills including negotiating, interviewing for international fellows, work/life balance, and leadership.
Scientific experts provided insights into their diverse career paths. The event's keynote speaker was Dr. Toni Hoover, senior vice president at Pfizer Global Research and Development and director of the Groton/New London Laboratories. Dr. Francis S. Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, provided concluding remarks.
The Office of the Director, the central office at NIH, is responsible for setting
policy for NIH, which includes 27 Institutes and Centers. This involves planning,
managing, and coordinating the programs and activities of all NIH components.
The Office of the Director also includes program offices which are responsible
for stimulating specific areas of research throughout NIH. Additional information

The Mellon Tutorial Pilot Project
With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Amherst College is able to offer a tutorial project designed to strengthen opportunities for student-faculty research collaboration in the social sciences and humanities. The project seeks to develop and offer approximately six tutorials per year, small-group experiences based on the research of Amherst Faculty. These tutorials are designed to enable students to engage in meaningful, substantive research with faculty before their senior year.
By exploring how different scholars approach a topic, students will learn to frame a research question, develop research strategies, and identify and use sources, be they archival, textual, electronic, human, or artifact. The tutorials facilitate the student's engagement with a research topic that dovetails closely with the scholarly interests of the faculty mentor. In some cases, the faculty mentor's project may lend itself to faculty-student collaboration; in others, participating students will explore related questions, with the potential that the work of faculty mentor and student can each enrich the other.
Students who enroll in these courses will be designated Mellon Research Fellows and will be eligible for research support during the summer to continue the research projects they began with their tutorial instructors.

Every view counts
Tuesday, August 11, 2009 | 10:04 AM
We think there is a three-step process for helping our content partners make money from their videos: first, make it easy to control and manage video distribution on YouTube and beyond; second, increase the number of video views; and third, monetize those views effectively. On the second point, we've more than tripled the number of monetized views this past year, in part, by serving ads in YouTube videos no matter where you're watching them. That ensures that our content partners are able to capitalize on their popular videos across the internet.
We recently started testing new channels on YouTube. One feature of the new design is an improved "video navigator" that lets users find and watch many videos without having to leave the channel. More people are watching videos this way, so we've started placing ads on channels, in and around partner videos. You might see the same types of ads that currently appear on the site, like overlays, display ads, or Click-to-Buy links.
Even though its still in beta, over two million channels have already opted into the new design, adding millions of monetized views each week for partners and advertisers. Now, we can make sure that partners generate revenue from each and every view of their content no matter where it appears on our site.

Hearing draws attention to EPA's Utility MACT regulation as a contributing factor in coal plant closings
WASHINGTON – As the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety holds a hearing to review EPA's Utility MACT rule, President and CEO of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity Steve Miller released the following statement:
"The EPA's heavy-handed regulations are forcing coal plants across the country to close, which will result in job losses, higher electricity prices and a less reliable electric grid. In many communities, shuttering these plants will also result in fewer local tax dollars, hurting schools and other public services.
"Recently finalized EPA rules and regulations, including EPA's Utility MACT rule, are a contributing factor in the announced closure of more than 140 coal units in 20 states. Closing these plants that provide good jobs and tax dollars to local communities is counterproductive to our national goal of reducing unemployment and helping our economy recover.
"We urge the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety to take a serious look at how EPA's heavy-handed agenda is hurting our families, communities, and businesses with higher energy costs and job losses."

Countdown: 15, The First Islanders Draft Pick
At 15 in our countdown comes the Islanders first-ever entry draft pick, selected first overall in 1972, Billy Harris. Harris plays an important role in Islanders history on both the beginning and tail-end of his Islanders career.
He would lead the Islanders in scoring in their inaugural year with 28 goals and 50 points, and he would finished second in the two following seasons with only Denis Potvin surpassing him (yes, a defender led the team in points those years).
During the 1975-76 season, Harris hit a career high in goals and points with 32 and 70, respectively. By that point there was some help around him, as the team had added Jean Potvin, Bryan Trottier and Jude Drouin, all who had 60+ point seasons in addition to Harris and Potvin. Harris would be an iron-man for the Islanders during these years, playing 576 consecutive games during the 70s,a streak that still stands as the franchise high water mark today.
In 75-76, the Islanders would make the third round of the playoffs for the second season in a row, falling to the Canadiens in the semi-finals. They would lose in the third round again the next year, were bounced in the first round in 77-78 and failed again in the second round in 78-79 as they earned a reputation for playoff failure, similar to what the San Jose Sharks are today.
But that would all change in 1979-80 for the team as we all know. However, Harris wouldn't be around to see it. Harris played the majority of the 79-80 season for the Islanders, 67 games in all, but was becoming less of a factor as he had only racked up 30 points to that point.
On March 10, 1980, GM Bill Torrey would trade Harris to the Los Angeles Kings with Dave Lewis for Butch Goring in what would be known as the trade that "started" the Islanders dynasty, with Goring being the final piece of the puzzle. The trade would spark a run through the end of the regular season where the Islanders were undefeated with Goring in the equation:
Goring fit in so well on the ice that the Islanders didn't lose another regular-season game after the deal, winning eight of their final 12 games and tying four others.
"Coming out here and having that success initially — for me, that made it a much easier adjustment to be accepted," he said.
Three months after the deal, Goring was a Stanley Cup champion. By the next spring, when he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, he was a fan favorite. He still is — he's currently the Islanders' TV analyst.
Goring is well aware of how his fortunes — and those of the Islanders — were altered by one trade.
"I'm not saying that trade was the reason we won four (Cups), but the fact of the matter is that they made a trade and they ended up winning four," he said. "That's why it's been such a much talked-about trade, and I'm happy to enjoy the moment every year."
For Harris, it was just about the end of the line in his career. He would be traded again from Los Angeles to Toronto in November of the same year, the beginning of the 1981-82 season, only six months later. He would be swapped back to Los Angeles for cash during the 1983-84 season and would retire at the end of that year.
For Harris, the trade is still understandably a touchy subject:
Billy Harris (1973-1980)
Brad Dalgarno (1991-1996)
Bryan Smolinski (1997)
Ted Donato (1999)
Tom Chorske (1999)
Brad Isbister (2000-2003)
Jeff Tambellini (2006-2010)
P.A. Parenteau (2011-2012)

Let's not ask: "How are you?"…if we don't mean it.
"How are you," s/he asked, walking by me. I didn't bother to respond. What she meant was, "Hi, I know you, but I'm in a rush or I don't care about you that much and I'm going to keep walking."
"How are you?"
Don't do it.
Don't say "how are you" when we mean "Hi, I'm walking past you."
Or, do it.
Ask "how are you," and stand, facing directly, not half facing (as I do so often) and half (mentally) already going. Ask "how are you" and listen deeply.
Today I was riding my bicycle, momentarily deeply lost in thought, sadness, confusion…it was a sunny beautiful day and the ride itself woke me out of my fog…but not before two cyclists passed me, waved, I waved back, and thought to myself "I look happy, healthy…they have no idea either of them what is going on in my mind right now or my life over the last 9 months"…and then, waking up out of my pointless reverie, I thought: I've been gifted with a good mom, the practice of meditation, good food, a safe happy town…and yet I'm suffering. Imagine how much others suffer.
So next time, if I say "how are you," know that I want to know. And do it yourself: let's remember: we have no idea how much our fellow sister or brother is going through.

I like the "facing directly" part. Looking someone in the eye and letting them be, a forgotten art. Yesterday I met up with someone who looked straight into my eyes the entire time we were talking. It felt so good. Now that we know how to breathe, somebody please teach us how to listen. Maybe we should do more staring contests.
Andrea: you are on to something. Somewhere we have lost a basic human skill. How many times have we sat in a group of friends where EVERYONE is texting or cell phone talking to someone not even in the room? It's as if we were standing in front of someone, ignoring them, and insisting on having a conversation with someone standing behind us.
Remove the technology and this is what is happening.
Most of us need human contact. Remember the wire monkey mothers experiment you learned about in HS? Given food, water, and physical warmth a monkey will exhibit failure to thrive if not warmly cuddled.
So.. turn off the phone, given the dog a new bone,power down the laptop, tune off the TV, park the bike/car/surfboard/mototcycle/running shoes and spend an afternoon in the company of a special other human(s) that nourish you. When left alone with our thoughts is when the mischief happens. Rumination takes over. Stop thinking-that's what happens during meditation.
That quote may not be Plato's… http://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/06/29/be-kind/
Sincere communication in an increasingly complex world. I appreciate the reminder.
As a yoga teacher I think this is very important. If we ask – how are you? – be prepared to listen. And the part about not knowing what others are going through – so important for yoga teachers to hold the space for all students. At any given time I can have someone in my class someone who is going through a divorce, recovering from surgery, dealing with grief of losing a loved one, considering leaving a job, a sick child….. I could go on and on. As fellow citizens (taking it out of my yoga studio scenario), same thing – we never know what others are going through – a smile, a wave, a hello – a contact in some way may remind others they are not alone…..
Thanks, Way.
This is huge… I had the gift of a friend who truly asked this, with eye contact, and listened. And listened some more. Now when I ask, I really want to know. And I try to look at acquaintances as whole people and not assume how great they have it – we all have wonderful things in our lives, but we all suffer too.
Dzongsar Khyentse R. says most of us in the West only experience "bourgeois suffering". That comment really put whatever suffering I may encounter into perspective for me. Now it's easier to say "Fine, thanks!" as a response to that question and not burden anyone with my little concerns. I have a roof over my head and food to eat. My job is decent and of benefit. I so wish the same for those starving in Africa or under water in Louisana or recovering from the recent earthquake in the Philippines or those suffering the loss of homeland and culture in what was former Tibet. I wish they all had shelter, food, and care and that they could enjoy the freedoms and rights that we do.
[…] like to answer all my phone calls and mean the how-are-yous and not save my honesty until all the good-byes have been sentenced over my wireless […]
Every once in awhile when greeting a table of customers (at the restaurant where I work) I will receive a response along the lines of "I'll have a coke". It frustrates me to no end. My response is usually a more assertive repeating of the question & stating that I really do care. People are (generally) so embarrassed that they didn't have the decency to even look up from their screen to acknowledge another human being speaking to them… sad state of affairs these days…
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide credit and sources back to your webpage?
My website is in the very same area of interest as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from
a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you.
Thank you!
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this webpage's articles everyday along with
a mug of coffee.

NORMAN — Oklahoma might not have qualified for the NCAA Tournament — much less the Sweet 16 — without senior forward Joanna McFarland's considerable transformation.
Oklahoma women's basketball: Joanna McFarland came to the rescue for Sooners
That's how Whitney Hand sees it, anyway.
"I believe that with my whole heart," Hand said. "Big plays. Always big rebounds, big shots. We can't not have her on the court."
McFarland's 38 points and 33 rebounds through the first two tournament games were critical in sixth-seeded Oklahoma's victories, which set up Sunday's regional semifinal with No. 2-seed Tennessee at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
The story of how McFarland, who entered her senior season with 38 career starts and averages of 4.8 points and 5.8 rebounds, became vital to Oklahoma's success began with an early December catastrophe inside Lloyd Noble Center.
"When Whitney (Hand) got hurt," McFarland responded when asked to pinpoint the onset of her transformation.
Hand, a senior guard, team leader and fan favorite, suffered a career ending ACL tear late in the first half of the Sooners' win over North Texas.
"I thought, 'It's gotta be done; it's gotta be right now,'" McFarland said.
Statistics support McFarland's claim, and they're remarkable: At halftime against North Texas, Oklahoma trailed and McFarland had scored just two points.
After the break, she scored 10, including four free-throws in the final minutes that helped secure OU's 71-68 win.
But the stunning statistics go far beyond one game. McFarland started Oklahoma's first three games of the 2012-13 season, recorded a total of six points and 12 rebounds and was benched.

Click Here for an Important Note About Third Party Download Sites
IntroductionWave Repair is a shareware editor specifically designed for the restoration of WAV files that were recorded from vinyl records. It can also be used to process recordings made from tapes, but its restoration features are intended mainly for records. The name is perhaps a little unfortunate. You might think that Wave Repair is a program for fixing broken WAV files (eg. with invalid headers), which it isn't. In hindsight, I should have chosen a different name, but I'm stuck with it now.
It is a 32 bit program that runs on all versions of Windows from Windows 98 onwards. Note that from release 4.9.1, it no longer runs on Windows 95. This is because it was necessary to change the program help to a CHM file in order to maintain compatibility with Windows Vista, and CHM files are not supported by Windows 95.
Running Wave Repair under Windows Vista makes use of the legacy application support features of Vista. It does work, but there are a few issues you should be aware of. See this page for more details.
I have not yet been able to check compatibility under Windows 7. However, my understanding is that Windows 7 is supposed to be more compatible with older applications than Vista, so my hope is that it will work fine. But I cannot guarantee anything.
In order that you can try it out to see if it will be useful to you, it is fully functional for a 30 day evaluation period. After this time, it needs to be registered to remain fully functional; the price is 30 US dollars. However, some features do continue to work without registration - see the Freeware Mode page.
Wave Repair is not a general purpose digital audio editor (in particular, it does not includes arbitrary copy/cut/paste editing of WAV files). Rather, Wave Repair eases many of the tasks that are required during restoration of music recorded from vinyl records, and which are often difficult using general purpose tools. I wrote it because I was unable to find an affordable WAV file editor which performed these tasks easily.
If you need a general purpose audio editor, I can recommend GoldWave as a good example. (I had previously also recommended CoolEdit 2000, but since Syntrillium Software was acquired by Adobe Systems, that program has sadly been discontinued). Another editor that has many satisfied users is Audacity, and it has the added bonus of being freeware.

I. Free MCAT Course!!
II. Idealist Graduate School Fair
III. Course Offering: Introduction to Research Methods in Biology
IV. New Course in Research Techniques
V. Volunteer with Golden Gate Audubon Eco-Education Program
I. Free MCAT Course!!
The Center of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education (COEDME) in the Stanford School of Medicine will offer a FREE MCAT Academy this summer! The Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) is a critical component of the medical school admissions process. Low MCAT scores are often a prime factor in the rejection of many applicants to medical school. Some factors that contribute to poor performance in the MCAT are: test anxiety, poor time management, and lack of a "plan", inadequate and inefficient preparation.
The Center of Excellence in Diversity in Medical Education (COEDME) MCAT Preparation Academy is designed to minimize these factors and to optimize preparation and performance for the Medical College Admissions Test.
The program is structured to strengthen the student's strategies on how to approach and prepare for the MCAT. It is not intended to be a content review course, yet many of the key subjects will be discussed as part of the curriculum. In addition, a group study schedule and a tailored individualized study plan will be incorporated to meet the needs of the individual student.
This Stanford School of Medicine MCAT Preparation Academy is designed to assist in preparing qualified pre-medical students for the upcoming Medical College Admissions Test. The program is structured to strengthen the student's strategies on how to approach and prepare for the MCAT.
Eligibility Criteria:
Must be planning on taking the August-September 2011 MCAT and applying to medical school within one year of the exam.
Must have an overall college GPA of 2.75 or above.
Must have a minimum of 2 to 2.5 years of college, including the completion of the following courses:
General Biology
General and Organic Chemistry
English 1 series
Must be from an educationally and/or economically disadvantaged background
Must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States (Bay Area).
For an application, please contact Fred M. Tovar at: 650-725-5342.

IV. New Course in Research Techniques
Want to hone your skills as a researcher? Want to explore Berkeley's—and California's—online archives? Want to learn about California's "water wars"? Want to satisfy the American Cultures Requirement?
College Writing 50/150: Researching Water in the West: its presence, its absence, and its consequences for the peoples of California Water: its presence and its absence are central to an understanding of California history. In this three-unit class, we will explore the subject of water in California, drawing upon multiple genres, for example, film, photographs, memoir, essays, scholarly articles, and Congressional legislation. We will also immerse ourselves into the new world of online archival research, with the help of teaching librarian Corliss Lee, of Moffitt Library.
In the course of this exploration, we will examine how the history of water leads us deeper into other aspects of California history. The story of California water is often a story about people and culture---Native Americans who were forcibly displaced and then erased from the site's history, people who waged economic and land wars to control water rights, conservationists who fought to preserve these sites, and people who found themselves in the dry places left in the wake of the water's diversion---in the case of the Owens Valley, for example, Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated to Manzanar, one of the relocation camps built in the "empty" places of the American West. One of our primary goals in this class will be to study these peoples through a shared experience: how their stories intersect through their connection to this contested resource. Open to lower-division students as CW 50, and to upper-division students as CW 150.
Prerequisite: completion of first half (Part A) of the R&C requirement.
Satisfies American Cultures Requirement.

Sigmund Freud, Beyond the Pleasure Principle
Norton | 1961 | ISBN 0393007693 | 144 Pages | PDF | 12 MB
In 1915 at the University of Vienna 60-year-old Sigmund Freud delivered these lectures on psychoanalysis, pointing to the interplay of unconscious and conscious forces within individual psyches. In reasoned progression he outlined core psychoanalytic concepts, such as repression, free association and libido. Of the various English translations of Freud's major works to appear in his lifetime, only one was authorized by Freud himself: The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud under the general editorship of James Strachey.
Freud approved the overall editorial plan, specific renderings of key words and phrases, and the addition of valuable notes, from bibliographical and explanatory. Many of the translations were done by Strachey himself; the rest were prepared under his supervision. The result was to place the Standard Edition in a position of unquestioned supremacy over all other existing versions.Newly designed in a uniform format, each new paperback in the Standard Edition opens with a biographical essay on Freud's life and work —along with a note on the individual volume—by Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History at Yale.

|IRF6 is a risk factor for nonsyndromic cleft lip in the Brazilian population.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22887868 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a complex disorder with a worldwide incidence estimated at 1:700. Among the putative susceptibility loci, the IRF6 gene and a region at 8q24.21 have been corroborated in different populations. To test the role of IRF6 in NSCL/P predisposition in the Brazilian population, we conducted a structured association study with the SNPs rs642961 and rs590223, respectively, located at 5' and 3' of the IRF6 gene and not in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD), in patients from five different Brazilian locations. We also evaluated the effect of these SNPs in IRF6 expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). We observed association between rs642961 and cleft lip only (CLO) (P = 0.009; odds ratio (OR) for AA genotype = 1.83 [95% Confidence interval (CI), 0.64-5.31]; OR for AG genotype = 1.72 [95% CI, 1.03-2.84]). This association seems to be driven by the affected patients from Barbalha, a location which presents the highest heritability estimate (H(2) = 0.85), and the A allele at rs642961 is acting through a dominant model. No association was detected for the SNP rs590223. We did not find any correlation between expression levels and genotypes of the two loci, and it is possible that these SNPs have a functional role in some specific period of embryogenesis. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Well, you could have a second Translator for that. Your translator's __init__ could create an instance of the other translator and store it in your translator. Then your event exporter could pass items to the other translator. That might be a bit of overkill though, because it seems to me that you could probably just call back to the *same* translator (i.e. self), and detect whether you should be issuing modification records or regular records based on whether the item is a master event or not.
