Wendy Mark returns to watercolors and oils on paper in new exhibition at Jill Newhouse Gallery
Wendy Mark (American, b. 1950), On The Road/Spain 2, 2011. Oil and graphite on prepared paper, 22¼ × 24½ inches (56.5 × 62.2 cm). Photo: Courtesy Jill Newhouse Gallery.
Best known for her richly colored monotypes depicting abstracted landscapes, clouds and trees, Wendy Mark returns to watercolors and oils on paper while exploring the subject of cars at
Jill Newhouse Gallery
Cars hold a strong sense of romantic narrative and nostalgia for Mark. As a child of the 1960s, she watched her father adopt and rehabilitate abandoned cars. Her visual ideas were shaped further by the growing importance of the automobile in American and European film, literature and music. Mark returns to this subject and lets the car become a moving architectural space, peopled with spectral images of men and women, in scenes of arrested narrative.
In Drive, Mark heightens the narrative of family photographs with rich textures and colors. She records the surfaces of the car and the way chrome, glass, and plastic reflect light, and everything else around. Trees blur as they go whizzing past; images of streets and houses hint at events which remain undescribed.
Marks commitment to works of art on paper echoes that of the gallery which specializes in master works on paper from the 19th to the 21st century, and particularly in the works of Corot, Delacroix, Bonnard, and Vuillard.

WASHINGTON, May 4 (UPI) -- The U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April, dropping the unemployment rate to 8.1 percent, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday.
Much of the decrease from 8.2 percent was due to large numbers of people dropping out of the workforce.
The Labor Department said the private sector added 130,000 jobs but the number of government jobs continues to shrink.
Gains were posted in professional and business services (up 62,000), retail trade (29,000), healthcare (19,000) and leisure and hospitality (20,000). Manufacturing added 16,000 jobs but transportation and warehousing lost 17,000.
Average hourly earnings rose 1 cent to $23.38.
"Today's employment report provides further evidence that the economy is continuing to heal," said White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Alan Krueger.
The economy has added 4.25 million jobs in 26 months, Krueger said.
"So far this year, 827,000 private-sector jobs have been added, on net," he said.
Others, though, had a grim reaction to the numbers.
University of Maryland economics Professor Peter Morici said the unemployment rate fell in April "because another 522,000 adults quit looking for work and are no longer counted."
He said, "More than four-fifths of the reduction in unemployment has been accomplished by a dropping adult labor force participation rate -- essentially, persuading adults they don't need a job or the job they could find is not worth having."
Chief economist Chris Williamson at the Markit research firm called the report, "Another big disappointment for the U.S. economy in the form of another month of weak hiring."
The job-gain estimate for March was revised from 120,000 to 154,000. Job additions in February came to 259,000, another upward revision.
"It is looking more and more like we will see a repeat of last year's spring and summer lull in job creation," said John Challenger, chief executive officer of outplacement consultancy firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
"While some would like to attribute the lack of hiring to uncertainty and regulatory roadblocks, the fact is that demand for goods and services simply has not reached a level that warrants accelerated hiring," he said.

Hello folks.
After a while, I reached the conclusion it was finally time for me to release ut4_iran3. There are a lot of things I had planned on doing that I gave up on, but it was time I let go of this map.
CMM: Mirror #1
Dropbox: Mirror #2
During the yer of 2013, UZ innovated a lot in their competition. One of the popular events they created was the "knock out". This map was in need some some extra spawns to be able to be played on a knock out even, and, failing to contact the original map maker, eya asked me to update the map. Needless it is to say I got carried away and started updating more stuff...
Changelog iran3 to iran3_rc1:
- Major clean up on the map
- Some texture changes / texture improvements
- Replaced barrels with models
- Added some other models throughout the map
- Better sky and better lighting
- Slight layout modification
Changelog iran3_rc1 to iran3_u1:
- Name change so people won't confuse rc1 for a past version of the final iran. (u stands for updated)
- All textures and shaders should now work even if you have the original iran3 map in your q3ut4
- Better and more careful packaging (I apologize for the last release's packaging, wasn't at my best at the time)
- Added Bomb spots
- Added CAH Flags
- Fixed spawns throughout the map
- Added location names
- Better lighting throughout the map
- Fixed a couple textures
Special Thanks:
- vulture for giving me his optimized version of q3map2 and helping out with a couple errors.
- NulL for helping out with a couple shaders
- UZF Clan for testing, providing feedback on the map and run it on their servers.
Hope you guys enjoy it. It's a fun map to play

Introducing the PB12-PLUS
The subtleties of jazz, to the chest-crushing bazooka blasts of Hollywood blockbusters. All at a mid-level price.
With 2300 watts peak power and a weight of 127 pounds, this subwoofer is a tank. Many pricey subwoofers don't stand a chance against its power and precision. This weapon is the embodiment of research and engineering. For action, sci-fi, and scary movies it delivers earth-shaking payloads of bass with precision. Its clean, tight, accurate lows rival professional cinemas. In fact, there are times you may not even hear it at work, but you'll feel it. On the edge of sub-sonic levels it stirs your senses so well it can give you goosebumps. That said, this isn't a no-finesse brute. The PB12-Plus delivers music with style. From cello and upright bass, to sax and electric bass, soft passages and subtle scores are deftly rendered with nuance and dimension. The PB12-Plus is definitely armed and ready for duty in your home.
Press Reviews
"From its ungodly output capabilities, true 20Hz extension, and ability to play clean and distortion free, the PB12-Plus DSP has truly earned the right to be called a 'subwoofer'."Audioholics, 2010 Product of the Year - Subwoofer Category, Review by Paul Apollonio.
"The SVS PB12-Plus is truly a chameleon among subwoofers. Its multiple port tunings and parametric EQ mean it can work well in any room with any speaker system. Its build quality is on par with the most expensive products available and it looks great too. I'd have to say SVS has hit this one out of the park."Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, Review by Chris Eberle.
"The PB12-Plus at least matches the performance of any subwoofer in this test, and its price is about 40% less than that of the next-least-expensive sub we tested. If you've got the space for this behemoth, it's probably the best deal going for a high-end subwoofer."Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, Review by Chris Eberle.

New reports from the lower Deschutes River and the Oregon coast show that the tiny but highly invasive New Zealand mudsnail, also known as Potamopyrgus antipodarum, continues to increase its foothold in Oregon.
The popularity of these destinations among outdoor enthusiasts from around the United States heightens concern for the further spread of New Zealand mudsnails (NZMS) throughout Oregon.
Several weeks ago, Mark Ernes, Oregon State Parks ranger's aide, reported a possible NZMS at a Deschutes River State Park boat ramp, a short distance upstream from where the Deschutes empties into the Columbia River. Based on the sample Ernes provided, Portland State University's (PSU) Center for Lakes and Reservoirs confirmed Ernes' report, documenting snails at Heritage Landing at Deschutes River State Park and 40 miles upriver outside Maupin, a popular fly-fishing and rafting destination. This is the first recorded presence of NZMS in this important recreational area.
"Just a couple days before I spotted the snail, a couple of people from PSU were in my area handing out the NZMS identification cards. I was amazed at the size of the snail in relation to a penny. They are such a small critter they don't easily jump out at you," said Ernes.
"I stopped to talk to a boater who happened to be pressure washing his gear. I looked down into the run off and saw what looked like the snails I saw on the ID card. I picked it up and rolled it around in my fingers, took out my snail ID card and called the hotline they had listed. I have a personal reason for reporting things like this. I'm an avid fisherman and I don't want something like this where I like to fish," said Ernes.
Robyn Draheim, assistant aquatic nuisance species coordinator at Portland State University's Center for Lakes and Reservoirs, said that "mudsnail populations in the Deschutes are not yet as abundant as in other rivers, but they already occupy a considerable length of the river."
Earlier this summer, new surveys and earlier collections from coastal Oregon revealed that NZMS are prevalent in the lower Rogue River, New River, and Umpqua River. New Zealand mudsnails also have been found in Garrison Lake, Floras Lake, Devil's Lake, and Coffenberry Lake on the coast, as well as in the Columbia River estuary and the Snake River.
As their name implies, NZMS are native to New Zealand. Discovered in the 1980s in Idaho, they have spread quickly throughout the West. NZMS only average 1/8" in length, but they can reach densities of over 50,000 per square foot. NZMS reproduce by cloning, so just one snail can start a new population. In fact, most of the NZMS found in the West appear to be genetically identical females. They can live in many aquatic habitats, ranging from mountain streams to estuaries. Equipped with a "hatchdoor" called an operculum, NZMS can seal their shells closed, allowing them to survive for days out of water and withstand hostile conditions.
Adverse impacts for the Deschutes River and other Oregon watersheds are still unknown. At high densities, NZMS can literally carpet some riverbeds, threatening the health of native aquatic life by competing for space and nutrients. Given their small size and ability to close their shell, NZMS offer poor food value for fish and can even pass through their digestive systems alive.
"Like most invasive species, once NZMS have become abundant in a watershed, it is extremely difficult to eradicate them," said Paul Heimowitz, Fish and Wildlife Service ANS coordinator for the Pacific Region
It is not known how NZMS arrived in Oregon, but potential pathways include fish hatcheries, boaters, watershed survey crews, and anglers. Because the snails are so small and can survive out of water for days, they can easily hitchhike in wading boots, boats and other gear.
"Although new sightings of this invasive species are disappointing, there are many watersheds in the Pacific Northwest where NZMS have not been discovered, and their spread is not inevitable," said Dave Allen, director of the Fish and Wildlife Service's Pacific Region.
Individuals can help prevent expansion of the NZMS invasion by:
• Thoroughly inspecting and cleaning outdoor recreational gear, such as boots, nets, boats and trailers before leaving an area. Remove any plants, mud, or other material that may be attached. Drain all water from your boat or other watercraft (livewell, cooling system, etc.). Studies have also shown that NZMS can be killed by completely drying gear for 48 hours; freezing gear for at least 3 hours; or soaking gear in hot water (at least 120 degrees). Gear also can be cleaned by soaking them in a 50-percent solution of Formula 409 and water for five minutes.
• Reporting new sightings of NZMS and other invasive species to the Oregon Invasive Species Council hotline: 1-866-INVADER (toll-free in Oregon). Prompt detection and rapid response to new invasions greatly increases the opportunity for successful eradication.
• Getting involved in efforts to prevent introductions of other invasive species in Oregon by visiting the Oregon Invasive Species Council (www.oregon.gov/OISC) and Portland State University's Center for Lakes and Reservoirs (www.pdx.edu/center-lakes-reservoirs) websites.
A number of groups are conducting research on strategies to fight the NZMS invasion. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is leading development of a national NZMS management plan that can lead to new funds for prevention and control. Portland State University's Center for Lakes and Reservoirs will continue to implement Oregon's Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan and coordinate monitoring of state waters for NZMS and other invasive species.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has slapped a penalty notice of approximately Rs 100 crore against IPL team Rajasthan Royals for allegedly violating forex laws in its business operations.
The agency, which issued the penalty notice after a two years of investigations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), has sent out three separate notices to the IPL franchise totalling to Rs 98.5 crore plus some other similar notices earlier, sources said.
While a Rs 50 crore penalty has been slapped on Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Limited (JIPL) and its directors, owners of Rajasthan Royals, Rs 34 crore notice for evasion of forex duties has been issued against EM Sporting Holding, Mauritius and its directors.
A fresh notice of Rs 14.5 crore has been issued against Ms ND Investments, United Kingdom and its directors. All the three parties can appeal against this penalty order in the appellate authority of FEMA. The order requires the IPL team to pay up in 45 days.
The ED has been investigating financial and foreign exchange irregularities against all the IPL franchises for almost two years now and this is the first big order against any team. It comes just a day after auctions concluded in Chennai for the sixth edition of the glamorous cricket extravaganza.
The penalty order said the probe agency found that foreign investment in JIPL was made in "flagrant contravention of FEMA" and the investment made in this regard was made "much prior to the incorporation of JIPL".
The penalty was issued after investigations pointed out that the funds in the firm have been remitted in an irregular manner and shares were allegedly issued in violation of forex rules stipulated and framed by the RBI. The agency issued the first penalty order against Rajasthan Royals in mid-2011 and it recently moved the FEMA Adjudicating Authority in Delhi to vet its investigation in this case and issue final orders.
The penalty order states that the ED probe has found that foreign investments of the firm were in contravention of Section 6 of FEMA which deals with transfer or issue of security by a person resident outside India, and other sub-sections of the said Act.
The agency, during its probe, relied on the bank documents and statements made by the directors and investors of Rajasthan Royals.
The ED has issued almost 24 show cause notices, amounting Rs 2000 crore, under FEMA against various IPL franchises and the BCCI in the probe in these cases.
Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty and her businessman husband Raj Kundra also have stake in the franchise, which defied the odds to become the inaugural IPL champion.

Reinventing Ford's Supercar
Imagine Ford, buoyed by the Le Mans success of the GT40 beginning in 1966, decided to take on Ferrari in the showroom in addition to the track. How would a fastback '69 Mustang look if it morphed to the proportions of the world-beating, mid-engine GT40? Retired engineer Terry Lipscomb wanted to find out. He enlisted Mike Miernik (MiernikDesign.com) to envision how such a car might have looked. After they tried various vent, intake, and quarter-window shapes, Mike and Terry honed in on a GT40-inspired design they felt evoked the original essence of the Mach 1 Mustang. Terry then turned to Eckert's Rod & Custom (EckertsRodandCustom.com) and Hardison Metal Shaping (HardisonMetalShaping.com) in Molalla, Oregon, to make the two-dimensional renderings into a running, driving reality over the course of three years, starting with a real '69 Mustang SportsRoof. This is how they did it.
The GT40 got its name from the FIA-mandated minimum height of 40 inches. After dropping the roof and sinking the windshield into the cowl, the Mach 40 stands at just a touch over 43 inches tall. Close enough for us. Whether it was Terry Lipscomb's original vision, Mike Miernik's rendering, the tremendous sheetmetal work that Colton Hardison and the crew at Eckert's Rod & Custom put in, or a combination of all three, the lines look good from every angle. That isn't something you can say about many cars that have been modified to this extent, especially cars from this era. The iconic design of the Mustang fastback has been so deeply ingrained in us that cutting one up to this degree should surely set off alarms when what we expect to see and what's actually before our eyes don't match. Despite the shorter nose and the stretched quarter-panels, the Mach 40 still looks like a Mustang from every angle. Now it's just lower, wider, meaner, and more compelling.
Before any of you jump to conclusions about the intended purpose of this car, know that it never once saw a trailer during our visit to photograph the car for this feature. As you can see from the wet ground, shop owner Dave Eckert wasn't afraid to drive the Mach 40 in the wet Pacific Northwest elements. In this part of the country, you either drive your car in the rain or you don't drive it at all. Dave has built a number of cars to this high standard, and they do get driven. Don't be surprised if you see the Mach 40 on Power Tour® this year.
I had to combine the early Mustang heritage and theme with the modern stance driven by the running gear. — Mike Miernik, Designer of the Mach 40

Tequila plant could fuel vehicles and help reduce emissions
15 May 2012
Large scale farms of the agave plant used to make the drink tequila could be established in Australia's arid inland as a novel and greenhouse-friendly solution to Australia's transport fuel problems, a University of Sydney academic has found.
In an article published today in the journal Energy and Environmental Science, plant physiologist Dr Daniel Tan and his University of Oxford collaborators have analysed the potential to produce bioethanol (biofuel) from the agave plant, a high sugar succulent widely grown in Mexico to make the alcoholic drink tequila.
The agave plant has not yet been widely cultivated as a fuel source, but it promises some significant advantages over existing sources of ethanol such as sugarcane and corn, Dr Tan and his Oxford colleagues argue.
"The agave plant is probably one of the most promising crops we can grow to produce ethanol-based fuels, said Dr Tan, a senior lecturer in the University of Sydney's Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. "It can grow in arid areas without irrigation; it doesn't compete with food crops or put demands on limited water supplies."
A pilot agave farm to produce ethanol has been established in Kalamia Estate, Queensland (near Ayr) but more work needs to be done. "Further research is obviously needed to improve the understanding of the agave plants and to develop the technology involved," the paper notes.
Dr Tan and his co-authors - including Sir David King, a former chief scientific advisor to the UK Government - analysed the production of ethanol from the agave plant in a hypothetical farm and production facility and found it had a number of other benefits.
"Ethanol derived from agave has a positive energy balance - the energy created is five times that required to produce it. This compares favourably to the highly efficient sugarcane, and to the less efficient corn as a source of biofuel," Dr Tan said.
"It also compares favourably to sugarcane-derived ethanol for its ability to offset greenhouse gas emissions, which we calculated at 7.5 tons of CO2e per hectare per year - taking into account the crop's complete lifecycle, from planting and harvesting to production and processing."
Xiaoyu Yan, lead author and Postdoctoral Researcher at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, University of Oxford said: "Our analysis highlights the promising opportunities for bioenergy production from agaves in arid or semi-arid regions, causing minimum pressure on food production and water resources. The results suggest that ethanol derived from agave is likely to be superior, or at least comparable, to that from corn, switchgrass and sugarcane in terms of energy and GHG balances (net GHG offset per unit land area), as well as ethanol output."
An agave production facility would also be self-fuelling, with the plant's woody by-products (bagasse and residue) fuelling the production facility's energy requirements, says Dr Tan.
The paper Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas analysis for agave-derived bioethanol is published today in Energy and Environmental Science.
Notes to editors
The agave plant grows primarily in Mexico, but is also found in parts of the United States and central and tropical South America. It is a succulent with a large rosette of thick leaves and a shallow root system. Tolerant to high temperatures, it is adapted to future global warming.
Energy demand from the transport sector currently accounts for 60 per cent of global oil use and will continue to rise due to rapidly growing vehicle population in emerging markets.
Ethanol, produced from sugar or starch through fermentation, is currently the world's predominant biofuel.

Review - "Little Boy Lost: Escaped" by JP Barbaby
Fantastic addition to the series
Very Highly Recommended
***This is the fifth in the six book series detailing the story of Brian and Jamie. While it is not necessary to have read the preceding books, it is HIGHLY recommended. There may be spoilers involved otherwise.***
Brian McAllister has finally gotten the love of his life, Jamie Mayfield, back with him. Out of the clutches of Steven, the man who rescued him off the streets, but who hooked him on drugs and forced him into a life of porn and abuse.
But Jamie is a wreck. Physically, mentally and emotionally. The last bout of drugs and assault have left him addicted and in pain. Weak. So it is up to Brian to keep him safe. Well, Brian and all the boys at the boarding house. And Leo. These guys watch out for trouble and keep them safe until Jamie is well enough to move.
Because Brian has rented them an apartment together so they can begin their lives. He will work in porn a little longer to allow Jamie to heal and kick his habit. Then they can figure out what to do with the rest of their loves. Lives they can plan together.
Only Jamie is afraid. Afraid Steven will find them and kill Brian. Afraid he can't kick the drugs. That he is too broken for Brian.
Things so smoothly for a while for the two. Until the oxy Jamie is taking for his pain begins to run out, and he makes a horrible choice. One that could leave the two dead.
JP Barnaby has added the best book of the series so far to her resume. This book hits every topic out of the ball park. Jamie's self worth issues. Brian's dogged devotion to Jamie. How toxic the love between the two boys has become. How love might not be enough.
These characters are so strong - the whole crew of boys, now men. And the family that Brian has managed to create around himself. So very touching and realistic for a kid who is so young and vulnerable. Contrasted with the hell that Jamie's life became, he of the traditional nuclear family.
I was heartbroken by some of the developments, yet encouraged by others. I want so much for these boys to be together, whole and happy. I am invested in their happiness.
And THAT Is the sign of a fantastic author. One who can pull me in and make me care and react and want for the characters.
So good, so wonderful and so frustrating that I have to wait for the final book in this groundbreaking, heartbreaking and humbling series.
Read them all.

Your Guide To Adult Online Personals
Adult online personals are not just web sites for sexually inhibited people who have not experienced their desired and/or appropriate satisfaction for decades. The Internet is full of such people, of course, and adult online personals are certainly no exception. It is flooded with manic visitors.
Adult online personals can be a nice and, moreover, totally PRUDENT way to meet new people. As we all have access to the Internet, why not try to enlarge the number of our friendships and acquaintances by just logging on and searching for people on the net? If you really want to meet new people and yearn new experience, adult online personals can be just one way to do that.
You dont need to go to bars or discos, and spend the whole evening trying to communicate with drunken strangers. There are better way to make new friends. People who go to public places just to meet someone new, are often discouraged and dissatisfied. They soon discover with despair that they have spent their whole evening and they havent met anyone worth meeting.
Meeting people on the Internet has this big caveat: you can always be reasonably sure that the people you talk to really want to talk to you. Chatting is a really nice way to get in touch with people. You dont feel that you are bothering anyone, creeping to their table at a disco, and trying to make a conversation. By chatting you can really get in touch with the one you choose, which is basically what makes adult online personals so utterly irresistible amongst social seekers. But you have to be careful when giving out your information on the Internet. You should keep your privacy and step carefully towards deeper levels of communications. You never know who you are chatting with, right? You should first check this carefully before exposing yourself too much. Dont give any security information about your address, phone number and so on.
Adult online personals are not just for maniacs, of course. You can always rely that you will find really great people to talk to there. You just need to be a little cautious before diving into the cyber relationship. Take good care of yourself, and enjoy the privilege that an online communication can give you. You dont need to feel ashamed of yourself, or try to hide your personal thoughts: let admit it, there are a lot of sex seekers online.
But you dont need to feel guilty about this. Everyone chooses how they want to present themselves in cyberspace. The service is anonymous and you can really show yourself in the spotlight that you choose. But just remember that there are some nice and honest people out there, and you can really get in touch with them . Dont let the crazy jerks discourage you from using online communication.
Adult online personals can really be an interesting place in cyberspace, and you should rely that one day you will meet great people there. Dont give up and keep logging on!

Carolyn Sullivan Heinrich'89
As children mature, so do couple's estate plans
When their third child was born in 1997, Carolyn Sullivan Heinrich'89 and her husband, Kurt, decided it was time to prepare a will to specify their desires for guardianship of their children and their estate. Now, with their children 17-21 years old, they bring perspectives seasoned by two decades of living and careers to the process of updating their will.
Your Beloit Dreams Can Come True with Careful Planning
"Beloit College provided the fertile ground for my intellectual growth and self-discovery. My current giving underscores my appreciation for the education and deep-rooted friendships that—to this day—continue to define me." —Duncan Rotch'92
Duncan Rotch'92 values his Beloit College education and is passionate about supporting a place that means so much to him. In fact, his philanthropic dreams for Beloit—of which he admits he has many, but can afford few—include an endowed gift as well as a bequest. And, he knows he can achieve these goals with careful planning and conversation with Beloit's gift planning office.
Simple and Effective: Directing Your IRA Distribution to Support Your Passion
Institutional pride runs deep for Ben Galloway'62 and his wife, Jean. So, it was a natural choice for the Aurora, Colo., couple to decide to direct their IRA distribution to Beloit College to support adventure, creativity, and exploration for students today. And the best part is that it benefits both Beloit and the Galloways.
The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extends provisions for qualified charitable distributions from IRAs through Dec. 31, 2013, thereby continuing this simple and effective way to support your philanthropic interests. When asked why they chose to give in this way, Ben says, "It was just so easily done—so easy to direct a gift to an institution [Beloit] that we care very much about. It just simplifies giving."
Renewed Health and Travel Plans Trigger Estate Plan Updates
Coming out of a year of chemotherapy and radiation and the ups and downs of recovery, Marshall Carter-Tripp'65 was ready in December 2012 to do something she's always loved – travel. So as she and her husband, Dick, were organizing recent trips to Central and South America, the couple made sure they met with an estate planning attorney to get their will in order before embarking on their travels.
After a career in the U.S. Foreign Service, Marshall knows how to prepare for extended travel, including putting advance directives in place. But her motivation was more passionate this time. "I should say that receiving a cancer diagnosis and going through treatment and recovery makes you keenly aware of the need to have your affairs in order, and of the importance of supporting those institutions that made a difference in your life," she says.
A Simple Commitment to Provide for the Next Generation
Stacy Kern-Scheerer'00 and Jonathan Scheerer'01 know that drawing up a will does not have to be a hard or complicated process, and that you don't have to be older or have a lot of assets to make it worth your time.
Jonathan and Stacy met at Beloit when they were 19 years old. Married since 2006 and now settling into careers, they started their family last September with the birth of August Kern-Scheerer. Now they've taken their next big step – they've set up a trust to provide for their son and to make a major gift to Beloit College.
Gift Annuities Generate Lifetime Payments and a Meaningful Legacy
Beloit alumnus and Princeton, Ill., resident O.V. Shaffer '50 has already left his mark on campus and the greater Beloit community with many of his creations adorning public spaces and private gardens. With his two gift annuities through Beloit College, Shaffer, who goes by the name "Verne," has made plans to establish the O.V. Shaffer Endowed Exhibitions Fund to provide more opportunities for student-directed installations and exhibitions at the Wright Art Museum and the Logan Museum of Anthropology.
Beloit Alumnus Helping Students Chase Their Dreams
More than 40 years ago, Dan Gooder Richard '69 discovered his professional calling while working in the stacks of the Morse Library at Beloit. Now he's taking steps to help today's students experience the same value in their on-campus employment opportunities.
Even though updating the documents in an estate plan is one of those chores that often gets postponed indefinitely, Beloit alumnus Dan Gooder Richard '69 took the initiative to revisit the trust documents he originally wrote 12 years ago.

|Statement by Ambassador Wang Min at the Security Council Open Debate on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict
Madam President,
China appreciates Argentina's initiative in holding this open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict. We welcome Ambassador Ruiz Cerutti as she presides over today's meeting, and we would like to thank Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Pillay and Under-Secretary-General Valerie Amos for their briefings. We also listened attentively to the statement by Mr. Spoerri, the Director from the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Civilians are the primary victims of wars and armed conflicts. In the recent past the international community has made enormous efforts to protect civilians from the scourge of such wars and conflicts, and the Council has adopted numerous resolutions and issued many presidential statements establishing mechanisms and frameworks aimed at effectively protecting civilians in conflicts, particularly women and children. China supports the Council's efforts to conduct in-depth and extensive discussions on the topic of the protection of civilians in armed conflict in order to respond comprehensively to the major challenges to that protection. We would like to underscore the following four points.
First, national Governments should bear the primary responsibility for protecting their own civilians. All parties to an armed conflict should abide by international humanitarian law and other relevant international laws, as well as by the resolutions of the Security Council, and should fulfill their obligations to protect civilians. While the international community can render constructive assistance, it cannot replace the responsibility of national Governments and the parties to conflicts. In prosecuting and punishing actions that violate human rights and contravene international humanitarian law, and in upholding justice, it is essential that the major focus be on making full use of domestic judicial systems as the primary channel for such efforts.
Secondly, in discharging the responsibility to protect civilians, it is essential that the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations be strictly complied with, particularly those concerning respect for national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity. Operations relating to the protection of civilian should be established by the Council and focus on working towards early ceasefires and solving disputes by peaceful means, such as dialogue and negotiations; they should not be conducted for any political motives or purposes. With regard to the protection of civilians, the Council should give equal attention to all situations on its agenda and adopt an equitable, fair and consistent position.
Thirdly, in order to carry out humanitarian relief operations to protect civilians, it is essential that the principles of humanitarian neutrality, fairness and independence be observed, while showing respect for the sovereignty of host countries. Only by winning their support and mitigating resistance on the part of the parties to the conflict can relief operations be effectively established. At the same time, the parties to the conflict should go out of their way to ensure that civilians have timely and effective access to humanitarian relief by improving the humanitarian situation in conflict-affected areas.
Fourthly, the key to strengthening the protection of civilians in armed conflict is preventing and settling those armed conflicts. The Council should actively conduct preventive diplomacy by urging the parties to conflicts to resolve their differences through dialogue, negotiations and other peaceful means in order to achieve a political settlement and minimize human casualties. Deploying peacekeeping operations cannot be a fundamental solution to the problem of protecting civilians. The Council's focus should be on helping host countries to strengthen their security and justice sectors and improve their ability to protect civilians.
Thank you, Madam President.

The HelpLine is particularly interested in having a widely diverse group of volunteers. The HelpLine also has one half-time graduate assistant and an undergraduate program aide. The HelpLine is coordinated and supervised by Susan Vavra. Contact Susan Vavra for more information, or see the application procedure below.
How do I become a HelpLine Worker?
Would you like to be a HelpLine Volunteer?
We are actively recruiting responsible, dependable people who can handle a little stress and who want to help other Aggies. You may pick up an application at the reception desk in Student Services @ White Creek or have one sent to you via e-mail request at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Once you have submitted your application (completed applications should be returned to the receptionist in the SCS Reception building at Student Services @ White Creek or e-mailed to email@example.com.) it will be reviewed by Susan Vavra. The next step is a one-hour interview with Susan and current HelpLine volunteers. After the interview you will be notified by email whether or not you have been accepted for training.
Training takes place the week before the semester starts, typically scheduled from 8:30 am to 6 pm on Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 am to 4 pm on Saturday. If you pass the first half of the training week you will have a one-hour final interview with HelpLine staff.
Training includes a combination of lecture and interactive presentations on counseling and listening skills, how to handle different types of calls, suicide assessment and crisis intervention, and when and how to make a referral. There are also presentations by SCS staff, A&M offices, and community agencies about the types of concerns that college students may experience, how to help a student with these concerns, and referral resources available to the caller. Each day of the training week there is a minimum of two hours of role-play training in small groups so you have the chance to practice using the skills and information you are learning.
What does the HelpLine look for in HelpLine workers?
The ability to communicate effectively over the phone and with fellow HelpLine workers and staff.
Responsibility, dependability and the ability to apply good judgment and remain calm, even under the stress of a crisis.
Willingness to maintain strict confidentiality & follow other HelpLine rules, guidelines, & ethical standards.
A stable personality with healthy self-confidence and a good balance of both optimism and realism.
The ability to avoid giving advice or sharing personal information, experiences, opinions, or values.
Respect and support for the diversity of people with appreciation for the complexity of human dilemmas.
|A desire to help others, but also a recognition of the limits of one's abilities to help others.
|See our diversity statement.
What's the time commitment?
|An average of one shift each week on the HelpLine
Most shifts are 4 to 6 hours long, but graveyard shifts may be longer. HelpLine workers pick their shifts & rarely have to cover the same shift every week.
|A one-hour supervision meeting each week in groups of 6 to 8 workers.
This meets the same time each week for the semester and is arranged around your class and work schedule.
|Continuing Education meetings, typically once a month.
Though this looks like a lot of time, HelpLiners report that it is really easy to fit in their schedules because there is such flexibility in which shifts are available.

Autobiography Writing at an Assisted Living Residence
My father is bored, and my brother can't understand why.
After all, there is an activity for every part of the day, every day of the year. "I wish I had time to do those things," my overworked lawyer-brother sighs. But the bingo, films, backgammon, trips to ice-cream shops, and sing-alongs do not seem to provide my dad with the sense of purpose that he once earned by running a trucking company, building the house of his dreams, and being a husband and father. And he's not the only one. Lillian writes:
Living here is like living in a hotel. Is it good or bad? I think it's both. There's not enough you have to do. I throw back the sheets every morning to air the bed, and then when I come back the bed is made.
It's not really my fault that my father is bored, but I am the one who put him here. A little more than a year ago, I uprooted my parents from the place where they had been born and raised and moved them 600 miles to the best assisted-living residence I could find near my home. My mother was so deeply lost to dementia at that point that she was emptying trashcans into the washing machine and leaving the stove on all night. Meanwhile, the stress of caring for my mother had landed my father in the hospital seven times in two years.
The move could not save my mother. She died a month and a half ago from complications of Alzheimer's. But it did allow my father's health to improve to the point where he is once again capable of transfixing you with the gleam in his eye. Except the gleam is only occasionally there. My dad is bored and lonely, and no number of bingo games will fill the hole in his life.
Which is how I ended up with my eighty-six year old father as my student.
* * *
When I originally offered to teach an autobiography-writing workshop in my father's assisted living residence, I did it with the idea of giving people "something to do." I hoped to give people a bit more as well: a mental challenge, a sense of accomplishment, a deeper sense of community.
What I didn't expect was the fact that I would learn more than I would teach. This is the best group of students I have ever worked with. They listen to one another's work with affection, respect, and delight. They are the best class I have ever taught. I have never had to convince them that writing matters.
As a college English professor, I'm used to dispensing not only advice about reading and writing to my students but also advice about life. Only a few weeks ago I joined the other members of my department to toast our graduating seniors and share with them a few words of wisdom borrowed from our favorite writers. My choice was an excerpt from Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet":
Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions… Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Now I face this class made up of a different kind of seniors, and they don't need my advice about life—or Rilke's. Esther writes: "My first thought, when I knew my mother was dying, was who's going to tell me things?'" The other members of the seminar nod in support. Only eight when her mother died, Esther has been trying to untangle the mystery of how to live without her ever since. Like Esther, each member of what we call our Writers' Roundtable has been "living the questions" for more than eighty years. Now they are writing them.
Most of their questions are about how to deal with loss. Helen writes of the excitement of getting the phone call from the doctor telling her she was having twins. "I got into the car, my open raincoat flying, and when I got into a parking lot in midtown Manhattan I realized all I had in my pocket was a nickel." All was changed, however, when one of the babies was born with a disease that threatened to kill her by the age of six.
The day the babies came home from the hospital, big brother Steven hopped on to this bike and rode up and down the streets announcing their arrival. The next day he and his brother carried batches of chocolate cigarettes to their classes to involve their mates in the good news. Soon the family's life took on a reassuring routine. The boys did occasionally ask unsettling but valid questions like "Is Sharon going to die?"
My father writes:
While Bridget was fixing Sunday dinner she called a fork a spoon and I immediately realized that our lives had just changed forever.
So the afternoon slipped by in contentment . . . We were suspended in a pocket of time unlike any other moment in baseball's long year . . . It was a time for looking both forward and back: forward to the new season and as far back as the oldest codger could recall. And what made it all work was memory. Memory was the glue that held baseball together as the continuing American epic.
But Zinsser encountered unexpected disagreement from a student who had been on duty as a firefighter at the World Trade Center on 9/11. "I don't think the piece is about memory," he said. "I think it's about loss." And Zinsser reflects, "A firefighter who was in one of those collapsing towers knows everything there is to know about loss. Thanks to Tom, I saw that memory is only a writer's recall mechanism. I was in the loss business; my territory was the unrecoverable past."
I wonder. Certainly that describes some of what I see in my students' writing. Molly, for example, seems to recapture the smells, and tastes of a lost world when she remembers Friday dinners with her family.
Sabbath started quite early for us. It started with washing our faces and hands after school but not before we get that whiff of roasted chicken, potatoes drizzled in chicken fat and onions roasting in the oven, that tzimine simmering in honey, cinnamon and cloves, that aroma of honey cake baked just right. That was worth suffering through soap and water and combing our tangled hair. Somehow, that just glistened as grandpa came home from the bathhouse, glowing from being beaten with willow sticks and hot steam.
But if autobiography is only an attempt to recover the unrecoverable past, why do so many of my students so insistently write about loss? Perhaps the real problem is that we can neither hold on to the past nor escape it. Each day my students' lives continue to be shaped by the losses they have experienced. Esther continues to lament the mother she lost at the age of eight. Helen continues to be troubled by the fact that her daughter escaped the death that seemed to be her fate in infancy only to be snatched from life unexpectedly in middle age by ovarian cancer. And for my father the day when my mother called a fork a spoon will never be simply past–it shapes his present as well.
Perhaps then it is the writer's enterprise is to learn to live well with the past. Some students in my class, I think, have done that by finding answers to their questions. At the beginning of the course, Esther would become so overwhelmed by feelings about her mother's death that she couldn't write. So I suggested that she postpone that too-difficult subject and begin by writing about other things. Here is how she begins her first story:
I had a husband who just thought about me. My father wasn't for me. My brother wasn't for me. He was the first man who was for me.
I came home from work one day and said "Milt, what are you doing?" "I'm making you a Noguchi table."
I'd seen a Noguchi table in a store and said, "Milt, that's gorgeous. Look at that table." And it was twelve-hundred dollars. He knew he could trust me: I would never ask him for something he couldn't afford.
So he goes to the store and measures it. The salesman said: "If you're going to buy it, why would you measure it?" And Milt said, "I like to know the measurements of what I'm getting."
And here is how she ends her second story:
My mother was always in the hospital. Always in bed. Always sick. She had cancer of the colon and she was always in pain. So I never remember being hugged. And I think I missed that. And my father expected everything and gave nothing. He accepted what you gave out and never gave back. So here is what I know. Love is not demanding. Love is wanting to give willingly without being asked. Love is caring. Love is feeling. Love is sharing. Love is my daughter.
By now, everyone in the class knows the answer to Esther's question. Although as a child she worried that no one would be around to teach her things, she learned from her loss the importance of love. And the love she missed in her childhood has been amply supplied since by first her husband, and now her daughter.
In fact, although I first thought my students were focusing almost exclusively on loss, I have come to realize that the real subject of most of their stories is love–the love of those lost and the love of others that helped them survive loss. Lillian writes:
I wasn't that interested in my brothers when we were kids. You know how brothers and sisters are. But I learned as we got older how much I enjoyed them, and when my husband died, I appreciated what they did for me and my boys. I had to take the business over, and they would take me out every so often or invite me down to their homes when I was able to get away from business. They would take my boys to different games. Those are the things I keep thinking about.
That's not to say there's always an answer or that we are always ready to find one. My father, stinging from the recent losses in his life is still bored, still lonely. Today in class he reads aloud:
A person can walk down 42nd street in New York and still be alone. Although I live in close contact with other people, I feel that the days of my life are ticking away in a lonely private environment of solitude.
After describing the happy hours he spent with my mother, even after her illness, he concludes.
Now she is gone. I get up at night and I think she is still there. But she's not. I'm alone.
Around the table, people are wiping tears away from their eyes but also smiling. Esther says: "That's why we keep inviting you to play poker!" Poker? Just another "activity" — like bingo, like backgammon, like Scrabble? No, because this is not the automated anonymous telephone message that regularly announces a residence event. This is Esther talking to Joe, inviting him because she knows him. KNOWS him. So do the other people around this writer's roundtable. They know themselves and one another in the deep way that comes from writing the questions and sharing their writing with one another.
And today, my father played poker.

Johxz- Yes I found that forum post just after my last post here. obviously something is wrong with the setAimObject. Thank you for the link I will look into that as a possible solution/band aide. I was planning on finding other target solutions anyway, I suppose this just bumps up the timeline on that.
rlranft- Thank you for showing me your solution to this issue, I will check into using that or something similar as a solution as well as checking out the eyeoffset. As an aside to you I will be doing some of your tutorials next, just wanted to thank you for providing them.
Out of a bit of concern is this going to be fixed soon? It does not bother me personally much, as I have been playing around with Torque off and on for years now, I love the engine. Spent most of the previous time learning about art assets and level/mission design, looking into the AI stuff now. I could see how a Torque beginner might find this extremely frustrating as the setAimObject is one of the few actual AI functions in Torque. To find it broken could turn off beginners from using the engine or learning more about it. I consider myself a beginner with Torque still, but I am happy with the engine, and I view problems like this as another way to learn more about Torque, and Torque scripting. I have been having a blast learning about basic AI scripting and I am now designing my own.
Thank you for responding you have both helped me out a lot.

|Spicy Baked Jumbo Shrimp - shrimp marinated in a spicy hot sauce and baked.
Spicy Baked ShrimpThis recipe was intended to be somewhat of a take on classic New Orleans BBQ shrimp, but with a barbecue flavor infusion instead, which is exactly what New Orleans style BBQ shrimp is not.
I know. Confusing isn't it? You can read more about the New Orleans style version on this post, which explains it a bit more.
Sriracha sauce has been a condiment in my kitchen for years and I use it in sauces as well as a garnish. I love it on quiche or any egg. I recently had the opportunity to try a new sriracha sauce called CHA! by Texas Pete® so it was a perfect match for this recipe, although any good hot sauce will also work well.
In the spirit of New Orleans style, I used jumbo, raw shrimp, leaving the shell and tail intact, though I did head and split them along the back to devein and allow the spicy marinade to infuse. Retaining the shell not only infuses flavor into the shrimp as they cook and it gives some protection to keep them from drying out. Of course, it also makes them messy finger food, but licking your fingers is frankly all part of the experience.
I also baked them as I do with the New Orleans style shrimp, though there isn't a reason in the world that these wouldn't also be fantastic on the grill, or equally good under the broiler. Just remember, they take literally only a few minutes per side to cook those ways, depending on the size of your shrimp. I'm using a 16/20 count per pound shrimp, which is a nice jumbo shrimp.
Use a sharp paring knife, or a good pair of kitchen shears, to carefully split along the back of the shrimp and devein, but leave shells on. Rinse and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients.
Add the shrimp, toss and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Place shrimp in baking dish, seasoning with salt, pepper, Old Bay and Cajun seasoning.
Repeat layers and seasonings.
Pour any remaining marinade on top and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size, or just until cooked through, stirring several times. Do not overcook!
Serve with sauce spooned over the top, hot French bread for sopping and plenty of napkins. These can be served as an appetizer, or as a main dish protein along with a salad or veggie.
Recipe: Spicy Baked Shrimp©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 25 min | Yield: About 4 servings
For the Shrimp:
For the Marinade:
- 3 pounds of jumbo (16/20 count) shrimp, unpeeled
- Salt, pepper, Old Bay and Cajun seasoning, to taste
- 1 (8 ounce) can of tomato sauce
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup of hot sauce, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Kitchen Bouquet
- 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon of light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, optional
- 2 teaspoons of Herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning
Use a paring knife or kitchen shears to carefully split along the back of the shrimp and remove the vein, but leave shells and tails on. Rinse and pat dry. In a large bowl, combine all of the marinade ingredients. Add shrimp, toss, cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Layer shrimp in baking dish, seasoning with the salt, pepper, Old Bay and Cajun seasoning on each layer. Pour any remaining marinade on top and let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on size, or just until cooked through, stirring several times. Do not overcook! Serve with sauce spooned over the top, hot French bread for sopping and plenty of napkins.
Cook's Notes: Jumbo shrimp in the count noted are recommended for this method, however, if you use a medium to large shrimp, reduce time to approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size. I do the jumbos in the shell with the heads removed, but shrimp may also be prepared peeled as well. Cooking time will be shorter. Shrimp may also be grilled or broiled.
