U.S. Department of State
Program Office: Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, International Programs
Opportunity Title: G/TIP FY 2012 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons
Announcement Type: Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) for Anti-Trafficking Projects in Thailand
Funding Opportunity Number: AT-ATC-12-003
Deadline for Applications: Friday, December 16, 2011 5:00p.m. EST
Due to the extensive flooding in recent weeks in Thailand, the Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (the Office) is announcing a special limited solicitation for applications for fiscal year 2012 funding of projects to combat trafficking in persons in Thailand. The first stage of competition for projects in Thailand begins with this solicitation for two-page Statements of Interest (SOI) from organizations interested in submitting proposals for projects that address recommendations for Thailand published in the 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report. In the second stage, the Office will invite applicants whose Statements of Interest are reviewed favorably to submit proposals that expand on their SOI. Statements of Interest and proposals will be reviewed by a panel for consideration of funding. U.S.-based and foreign non-profit and non-governmental organizations (NGO), public international organizations (PIO), and institutions of higher education are encouraged to apply by submitting a Statement of Interest. Pending fiscal year 2012 appropriations, the Office anticipates awarding grants of up to $750,000 per project. All SOIs must be submitted via www.grantsolutions.gov OR www.grants.gov by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, December 16, 2011.
The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-386), as amended (TVPA), authorized the establishment of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (the Office) in the U.S. Department of State. The Office provides leadership and coordination within the U.S. government and seeks partnerships with foreign governments, civil society, and multilateral organizations to combat modern slavery utilizing the "3 Ps" strategy: preventing trafficking in persons, protecting and assisting trafficking victims, and prosecuting traffickers. Through targeted foreign assistance the Office funds programs that address human trafficking: the act of obtaining or maintaining another person in compelled service. This includes forced labor, sex trafficking, bonded labor, debt bondage, involuntary domestic servitude, forced child labor and child soldiers.
The TVPA requires that the Department of State submit an annual assessment of "severe forms of trafficking in persons" and governments' efforts to address them. The State Department's annual Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP Report), published in June each year, is an important diplomatic tool in the Department's dialogue with other governments and also serves as the guide for U.S. foreign assistance to governments and NGOs in countries working to eradicate trafficking. The 2011 TIP Report, available at http://www.state.gov/j/tip/rls/tiprpt/2011/index.htm, includes Tier rankings and country-specific recommendations for 181 countries and territories.
The 2011 TIP Report noted that throughout the decade since the UN's Palermo Protocol and the TVPA 142 countries have become parties to the Protocol, and most have passed laws criminalizing all forms of human trafficking and have begun to develop victim assistance mechanisms. However, the numbers of victims identified and assisted and traffickers convicted remain alarmingly low. The challenge of the next decade is for governments to fully implement the legal and programmatic frameworks that have been created.
Through this solicitation and in keeping with the priorities identified in the TIP Report, the Office seeks to fund programs that assist foreign governments to enforce laws to combat human trafficking and expand victim assistance services, demonstrate model approaches to combating human trafficking, and add to our knowledge and understanding of how best to eradicate this form of modern slavery through research and evaluation.
For information on the USG's international anti-trafficking efforts (projects previously funded by this Office and other USG agencies) please go to: http://www.state.gov/j/tip/response/grants/index.htm.
The Office will allocate most of its 2012 foreign assistance funds through an open two-stage competitive process that was initiated with publication of the Request for Statements of Interest on October 14, 2011, on www.Grantsolutions.gov and www.Grants.gov. The deadline for applications for that announcement is November 18, 2011.
Due to the devastating impact of the recent flooding on organizations and agencies that work to combat human trafficking in Thailand, the Office is announcing this focused solicitation to provide more time to applicants that are interested in submitting proposals for bilateral, regional or global projects with activities in Thailand. Applications that do not focus on Thailand will not be eligible for funding under this announcement which closes December 16, 2011.
This solicitation announces the first stage of the 2012 grant competition for projects in Thailand only. Applicants may submit a Statement of Interest (SOI), a two-page summary of a proposed project that includes the information described below. Following a technical review and a competitive review panel, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal that expands on their SOI. These second-stage proposals will then be reviewed and considered for funding.
The global trends and country-specific recommendations listed in the country narratives of the 2011 TIP Report serve as a diagnostic tool and will guide anti-trafficking programming under this announcement. Applicants are urged to review these recommendations before developing and submitting an application for funding.
Proposed projects are not required to address all TIP Report recommendations for a target country, but should be designed to capitalize on the qualifications and strengths of the applicant and partner organizations.
Pending the appropriation and subsequent availability of fiscal year 2012 funds, the Office anticipates awarding grants of up to $750,000 for project periods of up to 36 months to organizations that are successful in the second stage of this competition.
U.S.-based and foreign non-profit and non-governmental organizations (NGO), public international organizations (PIO), and universities are eligible and encouraged to submit SOIs. For-profit organizations are also eligible to submit SOIs and may be awarded grants on a limited basis; however, they may not generate a profit from grant-funded activities.
Generally, the Office prioritizes foreign assistance in countries ranked as Tier 3, Tier 2 Watch List, and in some cases, Tier 2, where governments have the political will to improve the response to trafficking, but lack the economic resources and trafficking expertise to address the problem.
Given the limited funding planned, the Office identified 32 countries and three regions as priorities for this solicitation based on a review of the TIP Report Tier rankings over the past two years, consultation with other offices in the Department, and consideration of recent anti-trafficking program funding from this Office, other USG agencies, or other donors. The Office identified Thailand as a priority country for fiscal year 2012 funding.
Under this announcement, the Office is only interested in SOIs for projects that are focused in Thailand.
Project Focus
The country-specific recommendations listed in the country narratives of the 2011 TIP Report will guide anti-trafficking program decisions under this announcement. The Office is especially interested in proposals that will assist governments to enforce anti-trafficking legislation and to develop a broad range of assistance for victims of human trafficking. Strong partnerships involving NGOs and multilateral organizations and government agencies that promote sustainable institutional development and ongoing structural impact are encouraged. In addition, the Office seeks proposals for projects that demonstrate model approaches to combating human trafficking and research and evaluation to add to our knowledge and understanding of how best to eradicate this form of modern slavery.
The following serve as examples of the types of projects that the Office seeks to fund through this competitive grant process. This is not an exhaustive list.
U.S.-based and foreign NGOs, PIOs, institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations are eligible to apply. Some projects may be accomplished by USG implementers through Interagency Agreements. For-profit organizations, including small and disadvantaged businesses, may apply, but such organizations may not generate a profit from activities funded by the Office. Foreign governments are not eligible to apply but governments may be beneficiaries of funded programs, provided that funding does not pay salaries of government agency personnel and that such assistance is not restricted by U.S. law or policy.
Organizations are permitted to submit multiple applications; however, the Office intends to provide funding to a wide range of qualified, capable organizations that do well in the competitive review.
The Office recognizes the important role of civil society leadership in combating human trafficking and thus encourages U.S.-based NGOs and institutions of higher education to partner with NGOs and academic counterparts abroad that have a significant role in improving the response to human trafficking. Community, women's, and faith-based NGOs, as well as Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, and Tribal Colleges and Universities are encouraged to apply. Applicant organizations should have demonstrated experience administering successful projects, preferably in the target country and/or region, and in human trafficking or in similarly challenging program areas.
All SOIs will be screened to determine whether they meet the Technical Requirements listed below. SOIs that do not meet the Technical Requirements will not be considered for funding.
Technical Requirements: Statements of Interest (SOI) Applications MUST include these two parts. Do not submit additional documents. No additional documents will be reviewed.
Note: The font-size requirement is designed to ensure that all applicants have an equal opportunity to present their ideas in the SOI. Thus, the entire SOI must be in a 12-point font, including charts. Organization logos, headers, footnotes, and other wording in small fonts that do not meet the 12 point font requirement should not be included. Please double check your submission to ensure the font size is correct.

All SOIs will be screened to determine whether they meet the technical requirements stated in this announcement. Applications that do not focus on anti-trafficking efforts in Thailand will not be reviewed. SOIs that do not meet the technical review requirements listed above will not be considered for funding.
Those SOIs that pass the technical review will be reviewed and rated by a panel comprised of individuals with knowledge and experience in human trafficking programming and regional expertise. The assessment will be based on how well the proposed project meets the priorities outlined in this announcement and addresses the information outlined in the Content section above. Following this panel review, the Office will invite highly rated applicants to submit full proposals that expand on the SOI; this is the second stage of the competitive grant process. Once notified, applicants will have 30 days to submit a full proposal under a limited competitive announcement.
Full proposals will also be subjected to a competitive review panel. Panel results will be reviewed by the Ambassador-at-Large to Combat Trafficking in Persons, who, before making final recommendations, will consider bilateral, regional, and global factors, as well as any policies, restrictions, or limitations on U.S assistance that may apply to each country or region involved. The Ambassador's recommendations will be forwarded to the Office of the Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance; final approval and Congressional Notification must take place before each grant, cooperative agreement, or Interagency Agreement is awarded.
The review panels will use the following criteria when rating SOIs.
-- Organizational Capability and Record of Performance
The Office will consider the past performance of prior recipients and the potential of new applicants. Strong knowledge of TIP issues and the trafficking context in the country where the project would take place should be demonstrated. Applicants should describe key partnerships that will be employed to achieve proposed goals and objectives.
-- Quality of Project Idea
The SOI should be responsive to country-based needs identified in the TIP Report, identified regional or global needs, or otherwise represent a unique project that merits funding.
-- Program Goals/Objectives
The SOI should demonstrate a logical approach and present project objectives that are measurable and achievable during the project period.
-- Project Outcomes, Deliverables, and Performance Indicators
Output and outcome indicators should be clearly linked to project goals and objectives. The SOI should describe the potential impact on the TIP situation in the target country or region.
-- Requested Amount and Cost Share
Cost effectiveness as it relates to the scope of the proposed project will be assessed. Cost share is considered a positive as it can enhance the potential scope and impact of the project beyond Federal funding.
All SOIs must be submitted via www.grantsolutions.gov OR www.grants.gov by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on Friday, December 16, 2011. The Office will not accept proposals submitted via email, fax, the postal system, delivery companies or couriers. Applicants may submit more than one application; however, each application should be submitted only once.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to initiate electronic applications early in the application development process, and to submit before the due date or early on the due date.

We are grateful that they will be serving this terrific game of college football."The College Football Playoff selected its committee members using five main areas of criteria: People with experience as coaches, student-athletes, administrators, journalists and/or sitting directors of athletics. In general, the committee members will serve three-year terms, with some terms longer and some shorter to achieve a rotation.The management committee gave careful consideration to the standards for membership and identifying individuals who matched the criteria. The top-priority criterion was integrity. Among the other valued attributes was football expertise, objectivity, ability to carefully evaluate and discern information, and experience in making decisions under scrutiny. Prospective members were asked to commit significant time to the endeavor.Selection committee members are given the freedom to use "whatever data they believe is relevant" when selecting the playoff's four participating teams, a removal from the BCS' use of computer rankings and human polls. The committee tentatively plans to release four or five rankings of 25 teams beginning in the middle of each season starting in 2014. But while Hancock stressed transparency with the committee, he did say the committee will not release individual ballots. https://twitter.com/McMurphyESPN/status/390547798329815040 Comments

The West Virginia Dance Company, a professional troupe with close ties to the Northern Panhandle, is planning a fun-filled fundraiser this week.
The dance troupe's Black, White and Red-Hot Gala will take place at the Beckley-Raleigh County Convention Center Saturday, Aug. 28. A cocktail hour starts at 6 p.m., with gaming at 7 p.m. The event will include a silent auction (featuring sports memorabilia, vacation packages and artwork), live music, "heavy" hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar.
Two Marshall County educators - teacher Mary Hanley and speech pathologist Kathy Freeland - serve as members of the board of the West Virginia Dance Company. They noted that the dancers have made regular, frequent appearances in Northern Panhandle schools and other area venues.
"The West Virginia Dance Company has been the only West Virginia touring company for the past 30-some years," Hanley remarked. In recognition of its contributions to the Mountain State's cultural and educational awareness, the group is the recipient of the 2010 West Virginia Governor's Arts in Education Award.
In addition, the West Virginia Dance Company has been in residence for the Governor's School for the Arts on the campus of West Liberty University the past few summers. The troupe has performed for Strand Theatre Preservation Society events on four occasions and has appeared in performances sponsored by ArtsLink, the arts council for Wetzel and Tyler counties.
Donald Laney, one of the dance company's principal dancers, served as choreographer for the Strand Theatre's production of the musical, "Footloose," last year.
The West Virginia Dance Company has performed in Ohio, Marshall and Wetzel counties. The troupe, which has been visiting Marshall County schools since 2005, will be returning this coming winter, Freeland said.
"West Virginia has instructional goals and objectives for dance" for public school students, Hanley pointed out. "They (the West Virginia Dance Company members) are helping the state meet these goals."
This fall, the dance company will begin its 34th touring season with a new education arts program for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The program, "Exploring Global Treasures," will feature seven original, modern dance works.
For tickets and more information about the Black, White and Red-Hot Gala, send an e-mail message to email@example.com or call 304-929-2274.
Quantum Theatre, the Pittsburgh theatrical company founded by former Triadelphia resident Karla Boos, is inaugurating its 20th anniversary with another world premiere, "The Howling Miller."
Boos, who is Quantum's artistic director, and Peter Duschenes adapted the play from a novel written by bestselling Finnish novelist Arto Paasilinna. The work, they said, "evokes a land energized with unconquerable summer light, interrupted by bouts of darkness and shadow."
The final performance of "The Howling Miller," which is being staged outdoors, takes place at Frick Environmental Center, located at 2005 Beechwood Blvd. in Pittsburgh, at 8 p.m. today, Aug. 22. Quantum officials said their designers have transformed "the landscape around the center into mysterious Lapland."

Right now they practice at the Plantation Parkway Arena in Beachton, Georgia, and they play at the North Florida Fairgrounds in Tallahassee.
Lately the Capitol Punishment have run into the problem of turning away fans because there just isn't enough room. Now it's apparent the Tallahassee roller girls need a new house.
"A new venue, both for training and our games, it would help a lot. I mean, this venue is good, but they work with us here, but location is a big detractor. If we had something in Tallahassee I think more people would come to our games," said Adam Hyman, Team Head coach.

After Britain accuses Israel of cloning passports used in Mabhouh assassination, threatens to expel Israeli diplomat, MK Arieh Eldad compares British to dogs: 'Who gave them right to judge us on war on terror?'
Amnon Meranda
Published: 03.23.10, 13:36 / Israel News
Amnon Meranda
Members of Knesset were outraged with Britain's accusations against Israel over the assassination of a Hamas official in Dubai and its threats to expel an Israeli diplomat
from London over the stolen passports affair. MK Arieh Eldad said on Tuesday that the British were behaving hypocritically and compared them to dogs.
Eldad also gave an interview to the British Sky network, and said that a British diplomat should be expelled in response, "maybe the military attaché". British media has been covering the crisis since Tuesday morning.
"Unfortunately, the Israeli government and Israeli diplomacy play into their hands. We have learned that a dog must be called by its name. This is anti-Semitism disguised as anti-Zionism."
On the other hand, Chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee MK Tzachi Hanegbi (Kadima) said Israel should refrain from responding to the crisis with Britain. "I believe that Israel's abstaining from giving any kind of response at the height of the Dubai crisis was right. Now that the height of the crisis is behind us, it is certainly all the more logical to refrain from making matters worse."
He added, "Over the years, Israel has adopted a policy of not responding to allegations made against it in such matters. This is sometimes used to accuse Israel of things it has nothing to do with."

March 10, 1998
BEARS (10-2) Thu., Mar. 12 vs. Long Beach State, Contra Costa College Pool, San Pablo, CA 4 p.m. Fri., Mar. 13 vs. San Diego State, Contra Costa College Pool, San Pablo, CA 4 p.m.
NOTING THE BEARS: In the California women's water polo team's (10-2, ranked No. 1 last weel) last competition they fell to No. 3 ranked Stanford, 7-2 Mar. 6 at Stanford, but rebounded to defeat San Jose State, 11-3 Mar. 7 at San Jose State. This was a week after Cal had defeated two-time defending national champion UCLA, 9-8 in sudden death overtime in the title match of the UC Santa Barbara Tournament Mar. 1.
The Cal women fell to No. 1 ranked UCLA, 6-3, in the 1997 Collegiate National Championship title match in Ann Arbor, MI. In 1996, the Bruins also defeated the Bears, 8-4, in the national title match. Despite losing to UCLA two years in a row in the national title match, Cal is the only team to have defeated the Bruins in the last three years. In the first 12 matches of the '98 season, the Bears have outscored their opponents, 105-57.
HEAD COACH MAUREEN O'TOOLE: Maureen O'Toole is in her third year as Cal's head women's water polo coach with a 72-16 (.818) career record. Last season, O'Toole led her squad to a 30-8 record and a second-place national finished. She was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Northern Division Coach of the Year (in both '96 and '97) and Women's Collegiate I Division Coach of the Year by the American Water Polo Coaches Association in 1996.
As a player, O'Toole is a 15-time MVP of the U.S. National Championships, a six-time world MVP and is a four-time national Sportswomen of the Year as named by the U.S. Olympic Committee. She competed this past January at the World Championships in Perth, Australia, along with current Cal player Alisa vonHartitzsch.
NOTING LONG BEACH STATE AND SAN DIEGO STATE: The Long Beach State 49ers are 2-6 this season, and last weekend fell 17-2 to San Diego State and 11-2 to USC. The 49ers' leading scorer is freshman Lisa Helm with 14 goals, followed by 12 goals from freshman Stacy Black. The San Diego State Aztecs are 7-4 on the season and placed sixth at the Santa Barbara Tournament, losing to USC, 10-5, in the fifth-place match. The Aztecs leading scorer is senior Shae Philpott with 16 goals, followed by sophomore Larisa Baltgalvis and junior Danielle Dabbaghian with 12 goals apiece. Last season, Cal did not play Long Beach State and defeated San Diego State twice (12-9 Feb. 16 at the UC San Diego Invitational and Mar. 9 at the Stanford Tournament).
The Bears will be playing their first home matches of the season versus Long Beach State and San Diego State. Due to the construction of the Haas Pavilion on the Cal campus, all of the Cal women water polo team's home matches will be played at Contra Costa College in San Pablo.
CAL PLAYER NOTES: Senior Alisa vonHartitzsch (Tulsa, OK) was dominant in the Bears victoy over UCLA Mar. 1, scoring five goals and knocking in the match-winning shot four minutes into the sudden death period. VonHartitzsch led the Bears with nine goals in the four Santa Barbara Tournament matches, and she now has scored 151 goals in less than two years playing at Cal. VonHartitzsch scored six of the Bears seven goals in the victory over Stanford Feb. 8. Last season, she was named first team All-America, Collegiate National Championship MVP, Western Regional Qualifying Tournament Co-MVP and Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Northern Division Player of the Year. Another top scorer for Cal this season has been sophomore Colette Glinkowski (Danville, CA), who scored eight goals at the Santa Barbara Tournament, and is second on the team in scoring with 16 goals. Glinkowski scored a team-leading three goals in the victory over UC Santa Cruz Feb. 28 and three goals in the Santa Barbara Tournament semifinal victory over Stanford Mar. 1. Junior Kaliya Young (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), who is third on the team in scoring with 13 goals, paced the Bears with two goals in the victory over USC Feb. 28 and now has tallied 154 goals in her Cal career.

text: The title track from Macca's latest album sounds old, title notwithstanding, but in the best way. A Beatlesque pop confection with production by retro-modernist Mark Ronson, it's got a bouncy harpsichord-flavored melody line and a touch of brass that recalls "Got to Get You into My Life." It sinks its hooks instantly, going out on some goofy-sweet scat singing that will probably linger on your palate all day.

LatinoBuzz: How did you develop these characters and story lines?
Carlos Portugal: The number one rule that I give starting writers is: "Write about what you know." I certainly took this to heart when creating ELH. Personally, I love writing women characters. Especially Latinas. Every major character (Maya, Jessie, Vanessa, Ceci, Soli, Reina, Paulina, Lupe) is either loosely based or a composite of girlfriends and/or relatives. As far as the male characters, I based Hernan (the "veterano" who owns the local taqueria) on my father: A respectful, kind-hearted man that nobody messes with.
LatinoBuzz: Tell me about your decision to use the backdrop of East LA as one of the characters.
Carlos Portugal: You have no idea (or maybe you do) of how so many people, including highly educated Angelenos, are scared of traveling to East LA. I even had a few crew members drop out when they found out that the show was shooting in East LA. There is this preconceived notion that East LA is a dangerous area populated by taggers and gang members. Of course, this is as far from the truth as you can get! It's one of the warmest places full of good restaurants and hard-working families. I try to shatter the stereotypes of ELA that people are used to seeing in movies and TV. (I made a decision early on that there would be no gang members in the show). My hope is that people from East LA get to see themselves in the show portrayed as diverse human beings and not the typical Latino stereotypes we see in TV and films.
LatinoBuzz: How important was having an all Latino cast and also primarily a Latino crew?
Carlos Portugal: I don't think I would have been able to shoot this show in such a record time (67 production days) if it hadn't been for the hard work and dedication of the Latino cast and crew. We shattered the "Latinos are always late" myth once and for all. During the 67 days of shooting not one of the eighty plus actors was ever late to work! I'm truly humbled by their love, passion and dedication to this project. As far as inspiring young Latino filmmakers, seeing a show like this will hopefully excite them so that they would want to create/write/produce/direct and edit their own take on their communities
LatinoBuzz: How did you get all these organizations involved in the development of the series?
Carlos Portugal: We had a product that spoke to all of them. They saw that our hearts were in the right place. Every single person who helped us out was amazing.
Trailer: http://www.hulu.com/watch/
LatinoBuzz: The show centers around your character Jessie and Maya, your cousin -What is the dynamic between your characters?
Janine Larina: The dynamic between Maya and Jessie is definitely a roller coaster. A love triangle between two cousins doesn't make for anything less. It changes throughout the season as things happen and certain events come to light. They are both strong Latina young women finding themselves and going through high school. Yes, I used Latina, women and high school in one sentence. So you know there will definitely be some drama.
LatinoBuzz: What do you want people to take away from your character?
Janine Larina: This one is tough because I feel like there is so much that can be learned from Jessie and her journey. I hope that people can relate to her in some way or another and take from her a sense of encouragement to always do what is right regardless of the consequences that may come with it. To be true to who you are and stand up for your beliefs whether they are what is popular or not. Be yourself and the right people will always be there.
LatinoBuzz: It's pretty ground breaking, what do you hope the series achieves?
Janine Larina: I believe this series can achieve a lot in terms of bringing situations to light that aren't so often talked about in certain communities. Sex, drugs and relationships to name a few. Yet, in such an entertaining way. I can only hope that viewers learn from the experiences that the students of East Los High go through and are better equipped with the information they need to perhaps not follow some of the mistakes when put in similar situations.
LatinoBuzz: Tell us a little bit about your character, Jorge.
Jorge Diaz: I play "Paulie", the best friend, the goof ball, the horn-ball....he's a lot more 'talk' than he is 'walk' though. There is, however, a sincerity behind all of his jokes, inappropriate comments, and constant tail-chasing because he truly does care about his best friend Jacob, and his lady friend Soli. There's a good heart behind there somewhere. He was ALOT of fun to play to say the least, and I hope that shows on screen.
LatinoBuzz: Do you feel the characters in ELH are a refreshing break from some of the stereotypes that are often perpetrated in film and television when these characters are in fact fully realized teenagers dealing with teenage problems?
Jorge Diaz: Besides adding to the authenticity of an actual East Los Angeles high school, having East Los High consist of an entire Latino cast gives a group of Latinos a chance to tell their stories! It's a chance to show that stories of young people from East LA are just as important, interesting and relatable as those from teens in Beverly Hills, Orange County, or any other American story for that matter; because that's exactly what they are: American stories. I was actually surprised to find out that a show like this had never done before, considering Latinos make up about 35 percent of the population. We've somehow subconsciously been taught through television that young, rich Caucasian kids represent what it means to be a teenager in the United States. Being an adolescent is a HUMAN experience and anyone can relate to it, you just might see a few more brown faces in this particular one :)
LatinoBuzz:As an actor how was being part of an ensemble?
Jorge Diaz: Being a part of an ensemble with such a loving group of actors is something I'll never forget. I personally connected to this project because I have always wanted to be a teacher at heart and this project allowed us the unique opportunity to combine our love for the craft of acting and be able to bring up certain issues in a fun, non-preachy way. No kid ever wants to be preached to, or ANY person for that matter, but if we are somehow able to see ourselves in another person and be able to fully relate to him/her in a certain circumstance, that right there is what allows a space to grow and be entertained all at the same time. I dig that.
LatinoBuzz: What attracted you to the character of Maya?Alicia Sixtos:
Maya's a really strong girl. A thinker. Listens more than she speaks and cries more than she'd like. People say I'm a bit like her. I think we attracted each other.
LatinoBuzz: How important do you think a project like this is to a community like East Los Angeles?
Alicia Sixtos: I think that if it gets out to cities like East LA, the SF Bay Area (where I'm from), Texas, New Mexico, New York, Central and South America, it could be really different and useful. The underlying story is how to deal with a lot of the issues that teens and young adults find themselves face to face with but the issue is that a lot of adults don't talk about these major issues with teen because its uncomfortable and made taboo.
LatinoBuzz: When you read the whole series did you get a sense that this could be something different?
Alicia Sixtos: Not initially. When I read the series all I could think was; "did I really just read 540 script pages in one sitting?" I have a lot of trouble reading a lot of these 95 page scripts. Point is the story is really compelling. Thinking on it after the fact, I see the potential it has in being very influential for a lot of people. I can't think of a show like this one with its picture and story quality and featuring so many Latino actors. Latinos in America in particular have telenovelas and Disney shows. That's what kids and parents watch now a days, apart or together. ELH could possibly be the bridge in the gap for a lot of families and young people who don't have a path to follow. I'm hoping that it will be. The only way to really make that happen is by word of mouth. So anyone who's reading this make sure you check out East Los High on Hulu.com on June 3rd and check us on Facebook and Twitter: @eastloshighshow. Thank you for the support Juan, Latinobuzz & IndieWire.

This is pretty remarkable
This is pretty remarkable
That's awsome. if i had the money i would so do something like that
I definitely would too.
So epic !!
I wish I knew how to get sponsors for my vacations.
They were obviously on drugs.
But seriously, I would love to be able to do something like that!
Dang, I hope that one guy is ok. What really sucks is, what if they really got lost. in the mountains. And really couldn't find way home D: and then someone steals there bikes while camping.
wow, I wish people wouldn'y steal hear. I have to lock my bike up very well.. I even use ball bearings that have been magnetic for my bolts.
instead of VO, should have done subtitles and louder music
I'm surprised at all the positivity towards this, it really doesn't seem all that impressive to me. They went on a supported tour through a beautiful country. I think that this is awesome and it's something that I would love to do but I don't think that there is anything particularly "epic," about it. Now if this had been a self supported tour on fixed gears that would have been much more interesting/impressive to me.
I think it was supported in the sense that maybe some new parts were paid for (Cinelli), helmets (Specialized), their airfare, etc. I'm not sure if a van followed them from Tokyo to Osaka.
Money is just money. They still had to ride 400 miles on their own.
Thanks for the link. Didn't know the full video was up.

Because I definitely don't see any racks, or panniers, or any kind of cargo carrying ability at all except for a couple small backpacks. Most of them don't even have saddle bags.
So either they had a support car, or they'd have to call a cab when they get a flat.
No, they had a support car, which housed the camera crew etc.
Great post! What an adventure
Ya know, most people who buy BFF tickets don't watch every single movie.
They just kinda, watch the ones they're interested in.
Just sayin'.
meh, it was in a series between two other movies that I wanted to see. It didn't make sense to just hang out in the lobby during this section
that was amazing

The Will of the People: How Public Opinion Has Influenced the Supreme…
by Barry Friedman
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Very interesting. Compelling argument for how public opinion has shaped the Court.
[A] thought-provoking and authoritative history of the Supreme Court's relationship to popular opinion.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374220344, Hardcover)
In recent years, the justices of the Supreme Court have ruled definitively on such issues as abortion, school prayer, and military tribunals in the war on terror. They decided one of American history's most contested presidential elections. Yet for all their power, the justices never face election and hold their offices for life. This combination of influence and apparent unaccountability has led many to complain that there is something illegitimate—even undemocratic—about judicial authority.

It is that time of year again boys <and girl>. Yes that's right-the ever popular Bicycle Blitz! Each and every summer, following Bike to Work Week, Toronto's finest take time out of their busy day to give frivolous traffic tickets to cyclists. Get yours today-I did! $110-disobey stop sign-fail to stop. Thank you officer Ridge!
Officer Ridge was also kind enough to inform me that cycling is dangerous, and that it is entirely likely that I will be killed while cycling. Because of Officer Ridge's vigilance, we can only hope that I will be discouraged from riding my bike in traffic. He has probably saved my life. Thank you Officer Ridge!

Jerusalem Women Speak Tour Visits AU
On November 5, the IPCR divison hosted the Jerusalem Women Speak tour, a project of Partners for Peace. The Jerusalem Women Speak tour has been hosted at AU for the past few years and was more widely sponsored this year than ever before.
Co-sponsors of the event included: the International Peace and Conflict Resolution Division, American Students Peace Alliance, AU Students for Justice in Palestine, AU Students for Israel, Center for Global Peace, the Center for Social Media, Jewish Student Association, The Office of the University Chaplain, Middle East and North Africa Student Association, Muslim Student Association, Peace Empowerment Project, Women and Gender Studies Program, and The Washington College of Law.
The three women who spoke were Julia Chaitin, an American-born Israeli Jew who lives on a kibbutz outside of Sederot and teaches at Sapir College; Lucy Talgieh, a Palestinian Christian from Bethlehem who works for the Wi'am Center for Conflict Resolution; and Enas Muthaffar, a Palestinian Muslim refugee from east Jerusalem who is a filmmaker. The panelists told their personal stories about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which gave the audience a more human perspective on the situation. They spoke about the dynamic issues, complications, and areas of optimistic progress regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After the panelists spoke, Professor Mohammed Abu-Nimer moderated a question and answer session. The panelists emphasized that the conflict was not a religious one, but an issue of occupation and oppression.
While on tour, the women will speak at numerous venues across the United States with the goal of raising awareness and offering unique perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Although this event was planned especially for the students in Professor Abu-Nimer's Peacebuilding in Divided Societies course, the interest in hearing first-hand perspectives of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict drew over 60 students, staff, and faculty to attend the program. Audience members asked a range of questions about the importance of dialogue as a tool of peacebuilding, the role of the media in shaping public opinion about the conflict, and international cooperation in working for peace.

Ruben Fleischer
Jesse Eisenberg, Aziz Ansari on SF Pizza, Nagging Anxiety and '30 Minutes or Less'
What's got Jesse Eisenberg so jittery? The onetime Oscar nominee (for last year's The Social Network) is so often cast as a stammering, quick-witted neurotic, like a younger, slightly more imposing Woody Allen, that it's easy to believe the mannerisms are no act.
As it turns out, they're not. Like fellow New Yorker Allen's, Eisenberg's mind seems to race at such speed that it's no surprise when he pauses for a moment of reflection, then unleashes a torrent of rapid-fire thoughts. Today's topic of discussion: his new comedy, 30 Minutes or Less, in which he stars opposite Aziz Ansari (TV's Parks and Recreation) as a pizza delivery boy facing the most daunting deadline of his career.
Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
With the Dec. 31 deadline for 2009 Academy Award consideration fast approaching and at least one surefire Best Picture contender – Jason Reitman's Up in the Air – arriving at theaters this weekend, it's a perfect time to catch a movie. As always, here's a list of the finest films now playing at your local indie theaters.
Life Is a Blood-Soaked Highway in 'Zombieland'
There is no social satire to be gleaned from the stylishly staged skull crunching in Ruben Fleischer's post-apocalyptic comedy Zombieland – and not much in the way of serious horror. The first-time feature director (formerly of ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!) aims more for laughs than for the unrelenting dread of George A. Romero's Living Dead movies, and he succeeds almost effortlessly: At 81 minutes, his debut is cheerfully macabre, briskly paced, brimming with demented energy, and otherwise totally disposable.

Disheartened about woman with chickens being fined
I was disheartened to learn that the woman with the chickens is being fined and having her chickens taken away.
That's too bad. I thought Rick Williams' suggestions were great.
Unfortunately for Luzerne County, many of the forward-thinking leaders leave this area, and we're stuck with backward-thinking, negative control freaks.
I'm not going to be voting for anyone who votes against a few backyard chickens. Chickens are good for the environment. They eat bugs (including ticks) and weeds, their feces can enrich your gardens and flower beds. They're quiet and have great personalities. I love watching my chickens, they are such characters. My hen house is clean, and it does not stink. People associate the bad smell with the commercial chicken farms that have thousands of chickens, not a few in the backyard. Having backyard chickens is a win/win situation. Nice fresh eggs and a-bug free yard.
I noticed some of the negative comments in the newspaper that are totally unfounded fearmongering. One comment even suggested avian flu. Seriously? I hope we don't let the fearmongers win in this situation.

It's been 40 days and counting now since Doc Rivers has commented on the record about his coaching status next season with the Boston Celtics. That length of time speaks volumes about the mixed feelings Doc is likely having about returning to the bench, and now the whispers are becoming louder that Rivers may be wary of returning as head coach next season:
DEVELOPING: Doc Rivers believes it "may be time for a change" in his status as Celtics coach, source told @chris_broussard.
— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) June 12, 2013
CH's Take: Unfortunately, there is plenty smoke here when it comes to Doc's status and other ESPN Insiders like Stephen A. Smith have been on top of this story from the start, meaning the sources they are talking to in this case are probably relatively reliable. Now this is a stretch from saying Doc is gone entirely, but the timetable here is incredibly important.
Here's what I wrote in my piece from Monday on the situation:
From this point forward, with the obvious exception of Doc announcing he is coming back, the longer Rivers takes to make a decision is probably a good sign for C's fans. Why?
Unless there is a lot more bad blood than we are hearing about, Rivers is not going to leave Ainge in an impossible situation for next season where he is scrambling for a head coach at the start of the draft/free agency period. The Celtics' ownership knows it's always been a year-to-year thing with Doc and gave him the benefit of an extra security with the 5-year deal after the 2011 season. They know he likes to take his time making his decisions.
With that said, Rivers informing the team of a decision more than a month after the season ends, seems a bit unfair and unreasonable, two things that Doc isn't known for. He's had more than ample time now to think things over. You know what burnt out coaches don't do? Attend draft workouts for players 1,000 miles away from home for teams they don't intend on coaching. That's something to feel good about if you're a Celtics fan who wants Doc back.
Furthermore, the coaching free agent market is drying up as we speak. There's no obvious in-house candidate to take the reigns if Doc steps down, unless Ainge wants to return to the sidelines himself. That proposition seems unlikely. A contingency plan may be in place, but it can't be ideal for the franchise.
Now, the fact we are hearing Rivers may be ducking out just two days later does not bode well in the timetable department. If he's going to step down, it probably needs to be in the next few days so Ainge at least has a coach in place when he drafts and hits free agency. Rivers owes the C's at least that much.
I'm still not fully convinced it's going to happen, but if he's out, the move will be made soon.
Stay tuned.

Projecting into the Future
Most scholarly analyses of the modern discovery of long durations have focused on perceptions of the past, as with new definitions of long geological time. But definitions of long durations that extended into the future may have been equally important to this chronological re-orientation. After all, projects got their name, in part, because they proposed ways of projecting into the future.

Happy Halloween! Want to hear a joke? K, awesome.
Why can't boy ghosts get girl ghosts pregnant?
Because they have hallow-weenies! ;
Yes I've been telling that joke every single year since I was too young to even get it.
Alright then. Remember how I said I'd have lots of awesome crockpot recipes for you?? Yeah, well this is just one, but I've totally got big plans for more, my friends. Mark my words.
Actually maybe don't… because I tend to exaggerate and I don't want to lie to you guys. Like when I say I drank a bottle of wine?
Ok, that's a bad example. (Is there such a thing as under-exaggerating?) Anyways, this saucy little number came about during the frenzy that was Hurricane Sandy, and knowing that any kind of natural disaster always justifies day drinking, I went ahead and threw it together knowing that little miss crockpot here would do all the heavy lifting while we battened down the hatches.
I was also operating under the assumption that our power was going to flicker off at any given moment, and since I'm never one to waste, I figured I'd use up some of that frozen chicken that's been sitting around. I should also mention that in this house we eat something buffalo-sauce-smothered at least once a week so this recipe should come as no surprise.
I was also really excited when I remembered that we could crisp these little suckers up in the ol' George Foreman Grill, making them perfectly toasty and melty. I thought this was a pretty genius plan in case the power did go out, but then I realized that you still have to plug it in. I go through this every. single. time. we have a storm. I think of 173 things to do and then am cruelly bitch-slapped by reality that all of the things I want to do involve power. "OH I'll just go online with my iPad!" Nope. No internet. "I can just watch DVDs!" Yeah, not without a DVD player… It's a sick cycle. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only person that does this?
Luckily for us, we didn't lose power and were able to enjoy these wrapped up little delights in front of the warm glow of the television, holding our breath in between 50 mph gusts of wind.
Easy Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Burritos
Serves 4-6
Time: about 4 hours
You'll Need:
4-5 frozen boneless, skinless frozen chicken breasts
1 cup frozen, chopped peppers and onions
A few splashes of Worcestershire sauce
1 T garlic powder
1/2 cup Franks Original RedHot Sauce (more if you like it saucier)
Pack of flour tortillas (I use Mission CarbSmart)
1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese
Directions: Add chicken, peppers & onions, Worcestershire, garlic powder and hot sauce into your crockpot on high for 4 hours. Once cooked, shred with two forks and stir to absorb the sauce. Spoon shredded chicken onto tortillas, sprinkle with cheese, and folding the long edges in first, roll into a nice little burrito. Spray grill with a shot of cooking spray. Heat your grill (or frying pan if you don't have a GF grill) and cook for about 1-2 minutes until brown and crispy on both sides.
Best enjoyed by a crackling fire.
Hopefully you all stayed nice and safe during the storm too. Unfortunately our vacation house/neighborhood at the Jersey Shore got hit pretty hard, as well as a lot of other places. Definitely makes you thankful to be safe and sound. Please keep those less fortunate in your thoughts and prayers.
And if your kids go trick or treating and receive too many Reese's Peanut Butter cups, I know a girl who would be happy to take them off your hands.

Tech Unable To Complete Sweep Of Kansas State
May 10, 2009
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Texas Tech rallied for four runs in the top of the ninth and had the tying run at the plate but couldn't come through as No. 10 Kansas State held on for a 9-5 win over the Red Raiders in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at Tointon Family Stadium. Texas Tech clinched the series yesterday with a 12-6 win over the Wildcats.
The loss dropped Texas Tech to 23-28 on the year and to 11-13 in Big 12 play. Kansas State improves to 38-13-1 and to 13-9-1 in league play.
Kansas State took its first lead of this three-game series in the bottom half of the first as the Wildcats struck for one run to take a 1-0 advantage. A leadoff single by Adam Muenster paid off as Justin Bloxom delivered a two-out RBI double off the wall in right field to stake KSU to the early lead.
The Wildcat lead grew to 2-0 in the bottom of the second as Drew Biery and Rob Vaughn orchestrated a perfect suicide squeeze. Biery led off the inning with a double and then Vaughn brought him home with a perfect bunt after Biery broke for home as soon as the ball left the hand of Louis Head.
Kansas State broke the game open in the bottom of the fifth with a three-run outburst that gave the Wildcats a 5-0 lead. The Wildcats loaded the bases off reliever Cory Large who started the inning in replacement of head. Back-to-back sacrifice fly scored the first two runs and an RBI double by Biery gave the Wildcats the five-run cushion.
Senior first baseman Chris Richburg broke Kansas State's shutout hopes in the top of the seventh with a one-out solo home run that cleared the fence in center field. The home run made the score 5-1 and was his 12th home run of the season.
Kansas State score two runs in the seventh and eighth innings to extend its lead to 9-1.
The Red Raiders rallied for four runs in the ninth thanks to an RBI double by Michael Reed and a three-run home run by Chris Richburg that pulled Tech within four. Senior second baseman Willie Rueda came to the plate as the tying run with the bases loaded but KSU reliever Evan Marshall got him to fly out to center to end the game.
Head took the loss for the Red Raiders and fell to 1-3 after allowing two runs over four innings of work. Vogel improve to 4-0 with the win for Kansas State.
Texas Tech returns to action on Friday, May 15 as the Red Raiders take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the final series of the 2009 regular season. Tech was scheduled to face Mississippi Valley State in a midweek series but that two-game set has been canceled. First pitch on Friday against the Cowboys is set for 6:30 p.m.

non-GMO sugar
From Anonymous of Rancho Cucamonga, California on 8/1/2015.
To Anonymous from Los Angeles, the ingredients list states that it is non-GMO!
From Jen of Long Island, New York on 9/11/2014.
It would be hard to tell this is a honey alternative as it has a similar taste and can be used the same way. I use it in tea and on toast. Will try for the holidays this year in an Italian 'honey ball' dessert recipe-strufoli(sp). Also going to try with 'Honee' roasted paenuts...excellent prtoduct
From Anonymous of Madison, Wisconsin on 9/7/2014.
Maybe I haven't eaten honey in awhile, but it's extremely similar to honey in my book. If I didn't know there was such a thing as a honey sub I'd assume it was honey if I tried it on a spoon.I'm going to start using it in a few recipes and see how it works, but based off my experiences with it so far I have high hopes.
REALLY good!
From Stephanie of Peckville, Pennsylvania on 7/26/2014.
I didn't pick this up on Vegan Essentials. I happened to find it first in my local Wegmans. (VE's price is better!!) So glad I tried it. It is REALLY good. I am truly amazed that it's simply made from apples. People laugh at me that I even shun honey but seriously, when there are substitutes that are even better than the real thing, why not??? Delicious.

If we look at recent news in technology over the course of the past couple of years, protecting your business has risen to the top of your to-do list. Despite hearing about various startups that have acquired major technology, the truth is that there are only a lucky few that are adequately protecting themselves against serious everyday threats.
When so much depends on digital records and accounts these days, protecting your own and your business's records is crucial. Here are a few ways you can protect your business in today's digital age:
- Create formal security plans. A security plan is a must in any workplace, especially a startup. First, you must determine who has access to your data and put policies in place to grow as your business grows.
- Store consumer data. When you collect customer data, it is smart to protect it. But even more importantly, only gather the data that you are planning on using. If you aren't gathering sensitive data, chances are it will not be compromised.
- Educating staff and monitoring usage. Ensuring that your staff is up-to-date on security practices is just plain smart business practices.
- Check the startups' credit report. You want to monitor your business's credit just like you would your personal credit.
- Choose reputable vendors. Third-party vendors are very important to the success of a business so make sure you are choosing these partners wisely. If you are an online-only startup, make sure you choose online vendors that will benefit your company.

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Marc Chandler, Global Head of Currency Strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman takes into account the option markets and applied volatilities and notes Sterling's patterns of volatility.
Key Quotes
"Looking at the volatility implied by the options market exaggerates the low actual volatility. Consider, for example, that the options market implies 4.5% euro-dollar volatility (one-month)."
"The actual volatility 3.1%. This is, of course, more than the term structure or the vol smile can justify."
"It partly reflects fear that volatility may rise sharply. It may also partly reflect dealers reluctance to take on the risks and costs without getting compensated."
"A similar pattern is found in sterling. Implied one-month volatility is just below 4.6%, while actual volatility over the past month is 2.5%, the lowest among the major currencies. The implied one-month yen vol is 4.9% and actual volatility is 3.5%."
