LE VINE: Brookdale needed now more than ever
The issues at stake at Brookdale Community College are more than just current, they are timeless and critical. They reach far beyond mismanagement of tuition fees by its trustees, loss of critical New Jersey state support funds and what has been aptly termed “severe, draconian” cuts in money from the freeholders, all of which will likely choke their very own county college to near death. Nor is it just about a RIF (Reduction In Force) plan and reorganization scheme proposed by the trustees and college officials that would literally poison Brookdale.
Colleges are sacrosanct and sacred institutions. They date back to the days of Athens and Socrates, to monastic universities of the Middle Ages, and to the humanistic spirit of the Renaissance that saw them as essential. They appeared in our own country early on and in New Jersey in the form of New Light First Great Awakening Colleges like Princeton (the original College of New Jersey, Presbyterian) and Rutgers (once Queens College, Dutch Reformed). They were essential to the Revolution, the growth of our country and to our American civilization. They still are.
Brookdale, as neatly detailed in the book “Triangle of Land,” arose from this concept: that liberal arts were important for all to study. The freeholders during its years of conception and creation in the mid-1960s were instrumental in supporting it and adamant in that mission. Those same founding freeholders would be up in arms at what might happen to it now.
Colgate (my college); Delaware (Gov. Christie’s college); Ohio-Wesleyan, Rutgers, Monmouth, Seton Hall, William Paterson, Saint Mary’s, Adelphi (some colleges of the Brookdale trustees); and St. Peters, Wagner, Thomas Edison, St. Johns (colleges of the freeholders) are likewise essential. They are supported by tuition and tuition increases that dwarf Brookdale’s and also by enormous endowment fund safety nets. Not Brookdale. We live or die by the tuition and the state and county support. That’s all we’ve got to survive on.
The study of liberal arts and the full support of all colleges are crucial now more than ever. A recent U.S. Labor Department report tells us that our students should expect to have between 10 to 14 jobs by the time they are 38. It also tells us that currently one of four employees have been with their employers for less than a year, and for one of five it is less than five years. That’s pretty shocking and all the more reason to teach the liberal arts — we have to prepare our students for anything, for all sorts of jobs and life situations. Maybe we need to keep them longer and graduate them with at least three degrees.
Lately, corporations have taken a keen interest in colleges. One reason is to try to get them to prepare students primarily for their own uses, and not for the time-honored, sacred one. Ironically, many of them are responsible for those U.S. Labor Department statistics above. They want you to learn skills to help them as employees, but then they want to kick you out after a short time, left with no benefits, no pensions and hire someone cheaper. It’s almost a pre-union days picture from the 1800s.
Some companies have made huge profits mining the colleges for themselves with educational products and services. Of course we need to teach students workplace skills, just as those early colleges taught them skills to be ministers and leaders. But there is more to it. We teach them how to be informed and participating American citizens, and to be well-rounded, complete human beings equipped to get the absolute most out of their lives. Deep down, we all know this is true and have the sacred obligation to sustain this. College trustees and freeholders are lucky to have the honor to maintain that educational flame. Political aspirations and agenda should have zero to do with this sacred task.
The students who attend and the people who work at Brookdale Community College are furious about what might happen to their college. County residents should be furious too. Brookdale will no longer function as it was meant to if these cuts happen go through. It’s not just about the lost jobs. It’s about the lost education.
Colleges are a sum of its parts. The word university literally means “a whole, a community” and functions as a unit. This is an important, integral concept. All of the pieces, all of the jobs work simultaneously to enable professors, learning assistants, librarians, counselors, technicians, office personnel, child care providers and others to continue, as we always have, to deliver the most excellent education to thousands upon thousands of our county students.
We all promised them that we would. It’s our sacred duty, and an age-old promise, a promise to our own county, state and nation.
Jess A. Le Vine is a full professor of history at Brookdale Community College.

quiet rural setting - old historic building with fantastic food
1. My bill included someone else's 50 euro lunch which was removed after I questioned it and the signatures compared and obviously not mine. 2. When I reported in the morning that I had left my purse in the restaurant after dinner, there was no sense of trying to help me find it - a call was made to the restaurant who said they did not find it and that was it..when I personally searched under the table at which we had been sitting and found my purse, it was with great relief that it had been untouched under the table all night.
dinner service was a bit too rushed, with breakfast being laid out before dinner was over!
Interesting old building Excellent food High standard of rooms (recently renovated and some of best I've stayed in at a Parador)
Perhaps renovation has lost a little of the character of the building in places.
We always enjoy staying in Paradores and this one did not disappoint.
We used this Hotel as a stop over, it was wonderful. Car park was safe and very peaceful. We very much enjoyed our visit and the food was very good.
Only 2 hours from the ferry and easy to find. Beautiful building and great food at a reasonable price .
Excellent staff on reception
Restaurant staff provided poor service and poor food spoilt our stay each time we have stayed
As always a very nice hotel.it has been upgraded since our last stay and the results are excellent.
Not much choice on menu
Beautiful old building, tastefully modernised. Very good sized and comfortable room. Superb dining room. Generally the feel of a top class hotel
Little, but dinner was to a degree spoilt by the staff being under pressure and having to rush, leading to a mistake in our order. Also, they were under pressure to clear early, given the late starting time for dinner normal in Spain.
The friendly and helpful staff
Location very small room for a parador not what I would expect. Only one east chair in a double room. Very small bathroom with little room between bath and basins. Difficult to access. Very disappointed with this parador.
Very nice hotel. Beautiful views and beautiful rooms. We stayed at this Parador after spending a few days at another Parador and this one was definitely more elegant.
Fabulous location and a wow factor hotel.would have loved to stay longer,but can't wait to go back.
We think the chef had a night off and the "warmer upper" was on duty! Sadly the only bad mark was for the quality of the food,which didn't compliment everything else about the establishment. Shame.
Lovely staff very kind and helpful could not fault the Parador.
The hotel is in a peaceful, commanding location above the town of Vitoria -Gasteiz. The building has a lot of history, as with many Paradores. It is a 4 star hotel, therefore, as you would expect is quite luxurious. The rooms are modern, clean, very comfortable, quiet and with a queen size bed (or singles), which made for a very good night's sleep. Staff are courteous and helpful, and speak some English, but not everyone has a good grasp of English.
This was the second time we have stayed at this hotel, the last time being 2 years ago. We feel that the value for money was not as good this time. The breakfast menu seemed more limited and cheaper substitutes offered which to us indicates there has been some cost cutting measures taken. In our opinion it is just not worth 16 euros each. Similarly, the meal we had in the evening was extremely expensive in regard to what we chose, even allowing for the fact it is a 4 star hotel.
- lovely situated - perfect breakfast - good beds - big room
- bad food for dinner - they are not cleaning enough, dead fly was lying on the table for 2 days - complicate procedure for invoicing (like always in Spain)
Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely large room and luxurious bathroom with everything high quality. Superb breakfast.
Very well presented - up to date. Overnight stopover only and perfect for our needs. Staff very freindly and efficient.
dinner was a disappointment
Our room was very comfortable, view over the countryside was pleasing. Proximity to motorway for long distance travellers - as we were that night - my only reason for recommending it.
WiFi is not available in the rooms despite what it says on Booking.com. They offer wired internet in the rooms - how many travellers use that anymore? The restaurant [good food] does not open till 8.30pm. The only patrons seemed to be guests as the hotel is remote - why so late? Even in Spain? Nothing else is available in the area!
It's an oasis of calm, and the reception and breakfast staff were particularly helpful.
It would have been nice to have been shown to our table at dinner, with a menu in English (I do have some Spanish but there was a range of options to go through) rather than left to our own devices, though we appreciate the restaurant was reasonably busy at that time.
Comfort. Attention to details in room Openin g on to private garden
Building, setting, levels of comfort / service
Beautiful accommodation, especially the wood used and the luxurious carpet in common areas. Fantastic location. Very nice suppers.
Would have been nice just to have a coffee and croissant rather than the 16 euro breakfast but cafe wasn't open first thing.
Beautiful location, excellent concept.
The food could have been better and there is not another good option within walking distance

Somalia: UN development agency helps former militia to promote civil protection
"These young men are dedicated," said Luca Rajola, chief technical advisor for the law enforcement component of the UNDP Somali civil protection programme. "They are interested in learning new skills and will raise even further the professional standards of the police force."
The four-month programme, which began yesterday in the Somaliland town of Mandera, gives the former militia an opportunity to get back to work in a productive way, Mr. Rajola said. "Before the civil war, Somali police were regarded as some of the best in Africa. We are glad to help them reach that high standard once again."
The new class includes about 300 police recruits and 50 prison guards. They will learn the penal code and how to incorporate respect for human rights and the rights of women in their work. The course also provides exercises in riot and traffic control. Specialized groups will train to work at the airport and seaport, and in border control and drug traffic control. Some will become police trainers for future classes.
There are currently about 5,000 police in Somaliland, but around 1,000 are expected to retire soon. The new recruits being trained this year will replace them, UNDP said.
The UNDP Somali Civil Protection Programme is aimed at supporting law enforcement, the judiciary, demobilization of militias and landmine clearance. Italy, Sweden, the United States, a Canadian non-governmental organization, and several other donors provide funding.

The above hints notwithstanding, the frequent law courts may hesitate to pierce the corporate veil where the outcome would produce a unique result. In a nutshell, it can be stated that the principle reason while Anglo-Saxon courts in he case of small firms are inclined to favor company ideas is as a result of they need to cut back the severity of a penalty as a consequence of piercing the corporate veil. It has been mentioned that the extra conspicuous the sham, the extra probably it will be for the Anglo-Saxon courts to determine that fraud had been perpetrated.

But these classes are just a guideline and on no account far from being exhaustive. As we move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction across the globe, it’s application narrows all the way down to how that system of the regulation appreciates the subject. Common law jurisdictions are examples par excellence the place the piercing of the company veil has gained notoriety, and because the varied cases indicate, courts beneath this system of the legislation generally appreciates each case by it’s deserves.

MANILA - Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda on Wednesday came to the defense of Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Henares, who has come under fire for allegedly being selective in her tax collection campaign.
“Hindi arogante si Commissioner Kim Henares. She is just her natural self. I know Commissioner Kim Henares personally," Lacierda said.
He said the government is conducting a campaign against all tax evaders and not just any specific profession.
“At saka ‘yung shame campaign, it is not shame—if you look at it, it does not… Well, while it looks at the professions that seem to be paying less, it does not shame the profession itself," Lacierda said.
"It shames those who do not pay the taxes.And if there’s a class that they want to shame, it’s those people who don’t pay their taxes properly; and as result, it burdens other people who pay their taxes like you and I," he added.
He believes that those who pay their taxes have nothing to be ashamed about. “Kung sila naman ay nagbabayad ng wastong buwis, ano ang ikahihiya nila bilang isang taxpayer? And I think there is really so much taxes that we can collect from the professionals. And I think this is also a way of encouraging our professionals who—that they can contribute more to the national economy.”
The Palace spokesman said due process is being observed in running after tax evaders.
“The cases right now are… Fina-file kasi sa DOJ ‘yan, at doon sa DOJ, dumadaan sa mga proseso rin. May mga cases tayong nafa-file na after lumampas ng DOJ, nafa-file na ngayon sa Court of Tax Appeals, at doon—may mga kasong nandoon na rin. But a number of them are undergoing preliminary investigation dito sa DOJ," he added.
The BIR has asked the DOJ to fast track tax evasion cases.
Lacierda said the BIR has already gone after small businesses with large tax liabilities. ”They are not known but it does not necessarily mean that they are small businesses. In fact, marami doon hindi natin kilala ‘yung mga pangalan ng mga korporasyon, mabibigla na lang tayo there is such a corporation and the reflected taxes is only so much. And when it was audited, it turned out that they—their tax due is much, much more.”
The Palace, however, seems cool to a bill in the Senate that seeks to lower income tax rates.
“We will ask sila, DOF (Department of Finance). Mas mabuting sila ang sumagot ng tanong na yan at saka si Commissioner Kim Henares," Lacierda said. "Magkaka-effect kasi yan sa... a long effect for instance, sa ating fiscal space. Marami tayong social programs na ini-implement. Iyong mga ganoong impact, dapat pag-aralan. So I think sila DOF would be in a better position to say if we do that, this is what will happen. “
Lacierda added, "Remember, we have not raised taxes. We have managed to collect more. We have made it a point not to raise taxes."

A fellow singleton friend asked me if I wanted to try a free 7-day exercise called “Detox Your Dating Life” put on by Denise Poteat. I immediately agreed – although I do really, really enjoy being single, I’m always up for a challenge.
This 7-day exercise involves lots of self-reflection, and over the course of the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing these thoughts with you as I move throughout the program. Yes, I was bad and didn’t do the days right after another. It took me awhile, okay?!
DAY 1: STEP ON THE SCALE
One of the first steps on this day was to state my limiting beliefs. According to popular belief, you are what you eat, and this saying works in dating, too. If you don’t believe you can go after a certain type of person, then you certainly won’t get him or her.
Who you date is a direct reflection of yourself, Denise said. I immediately cringed at this thought. I have dated some real bad ones. Ugh.
What is your single biggest frustration with dating?
Being vulnerable is my #1 block with dating. I have always dated guys that are really wrong for me (probably really wrong for anyone). I don’t do it on purpose, but I believe I do it because then, when things turn south, I can just blame it on them and not have to accept that it may be because of my baggage and flaws.
I also don’t like the work or the compromise that goes into dating. I have my own schedule that I like, I feel like my life without men is relaxed and comfortable. When I am dating, I feel stressed and on-edge constantly. I don’t want to give up my care-free life for a man.
What belief do you have about why you are single?
Ultimately, I don’t want to open myself up to true intimacy.
Top three reasons that describe your feelings about being single:
- I don’t feel comfortable approaching men
- I don’t have the energy to date; it’s too much hassle
- I don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy
Homework: Review the following statements and share with the private Facebook group the thought you struggle with the most.
- Am I better off alone?
- Do I really need a man to be happy?
- What if I get into a relationship and lose my independence?
Here’s what I put into the Facebook group:
Am I better off alone? I have wondered this for nearly 10 years (I’m 32). I have mostly only experienced abusive relationships, for which I entered counseling and worked to get to the root of my issues. However, I’ve been single for four years now, and have spent that time relearning who I am, and ultimately what I want out of life. I haven’t ever gotten happiness from a man, and I’ve seen so many women fall into the same manipulative relationship traps I did years ago. I feel weak when I even start to like a man – I associate strength with being single. I feel like, as a single woman, I have this absolute freedom that I don’t have when I’m in a relationship. As embarrassing as this is to admit, there were even times I didn’t want a male waiter at a restaurant. I’m growing, and still learning, but I just can’t picture myself being vulnerable enough to love.
And Denise replied! Here’s what she said: Thank you Holly for being so honest…you really hit on something that I think many women in the group can relate to. You said “I associate strength with being single.” When you have been hurt early in your life…you can stop trusting men and ultimately…your own judgement. I want to help women learn to hear and trust their intuition…to be gentle, but strong with what they require in a relationship with a real man.
Day one = done! Be on the lookout for days two, three, and four next week 🙂 Want to do the challenge? You can sign up here – it’s completely free!

New Report Calls for Legal Changes to Strengthen Marriage and Combat Family Breakdown. If only such a report was on the table in New Zealand. Come on kiwis, surely our damaged children are the priority too address the dysfunctional Family Unit, and the absurd law that demonizes fathers from the Family equation? Kids need Dads Too! Children are our future Judge Boshier!
UK - The Centre for Social Justice – Amended 1640, 17 November 2008
FAMILY LAW REVIEW
A radical overhaul of family law aimed at strengthening marriage and reducing family breakdown is signalled today by a new report from the think-tank set up by the former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith.
Among the proposals under consideration are making pre-nuptial agreements legally binding, official backing for marriage preparation classes, reviewing divorce procedures and changes aimed at creating greater consistency in financial settlements on divorce. It says that the legally questionable status of pre-nuptial agreements at present may deter couples from marrying, especially the wealthy.
The creation of family relationship centres, along the lines of the Australian system, to smooth the path for separating or divorcing couples and their children is also floated in the report from the Centre for Social Justice. New rights for grandparents to remain in contact with children after a parental divorce and better access to children for absent fathers are also foreshadowed.
But the report is sceptical of measures to give cohabiting couples legal rights similar to those of married couples, suggesting such a step would fuel family breakdown.
The report, The Family Law Review of the Centre for Social Justice, is an interim study, and the proposals trailed will be finalised in a second report to be published in the spring of next year.
Mr Duncan Smith said that the report was timely given public concern over the Baby P case and others such as Karen Matthews, who has seven children by five different fathers. He said that such cases were “shining the spotlight” on the chaotic nature of family life in the poorest parts of Britain, which has virtually the highest level of family breakdown in Europe.
Mr Duncan Smith said: "Today 25 per cent of children in this country live in single parent families and this trend is set to accelerate. These children are three to six times more likely to experience abuse. A recent US study found that children living with a non-biological adult are 50 times more likely to die from afflicted injuries than those living with their biological parents."
Despite its interim nature, the report gives a strong indication of the CSJ’s thinking and says that only changes that will reinforce marriage should be adopted. It restates the mounting body of evidence showing that marriage produces better outcomes for both adults and children.
The report says: “This review is working from an underlying assumption that marriage should be supported both in government policy and in the law and that, related to this, fatherlessness (or motherlessness), far more likely when relationships are informal, should be avoided…”
“Policy can and should be focused on stemming the tide of relationship breakdown. Promoting stability and commitment will thus guide all the work we do and the policies we recommend…”
“Marriage also acts as a stabiliser and a signal. Married couples are far less likely to break up than couples who live together without getting married. This is true even when allowance is made for the influence of such factors as income, age and education. The correlation between stability and marriage is strong and widely acknowledged amongst experts.”
The report links rising levels of family breakdown to the increase in cohabitation. This has risen from just over 10 per cent of men and women 20 years ago to 25 per cent now. This change explains much of the rise in births outside marriage – up from 25 per cent in 1988 to 44 per cent today.
It cites research showing that cohabiting couples with children are much less likely to go on and marry than childless cohabiting couples and that they are far more likely to break up. Only 35 per cent of children born into a cohabiting union will live with both parents throughout their childhood, compared with 70 per cent born to married couples.
The average length of a marriage that ends in divorce is 11.5 years compared with just two years for a live-in relationship.
The report casts doubt on a call from the Law Commission for cohabiting couples to be given a legal right to a financial settlement on separation.
“While doing much to address perceived injustices, these proposals are obviously not compatible with a long-term national policy aimed at improving family stability by encouraging marriage and discouraging markedly more unstable cohabitation.”
The report signals policy recommendations to come in the final report of the review group, which is chaired by Dr Samantha Callan, honorary research fellow at Edinburgh University. Areas to be covered include:
* The role of the law as a potentially stabilising factor in relationships and particularly marriage.
* The merits of proposals to make ‘pre-nuptial’ written agreements about the distribution of money and property legally binding, for those who wish to use them.
* The extent to which Government should seek to support people’s efforts to ‘pre-qualify’ themselves for entrance into marriage, and in particular, visit the effectiveness of relationship and marriage preparation classes and the possible role that churches and voluntary organizations could contribute to their provision.
* Financial distribution after divorce in terms of its potentially destabilizing effects and whether a ‘low cost of divorcing’, if it pertains in reality, has caused undesirable changes and removed significant incentives to work at a marriage.

Beach Brawl Suspects File Appeal; Jury To Hear Appeal Of Verdict
OCEAN CITY — Three of the four suspects found guilty last month on assault and other charges stemming from last summer’s beach melee with police will get another day in court after filing appeals this week.
Two of the defendants, including Dalima Palmer, 25, of Dumfries, Va., who was nine months pregnant during the incident and ultimately needed an emergency C-section following the brawl, along with her fiancé Musa Seisay, 25, of Garrisonville, Md., were found guilty of second-degree assault in February and were sentenced to 30 days in jail. Abdul Kargbo, 25, of Woodbridge, Va., was found guilty of disorderly conduct in February and was also sentenced to 30 days. A fourth defendant, Saidu Kargbo, 21, of Woodbridge, was found guilty of second-degree assault and was fined and placed on supervised probation.
Attorney Bruce Johnson, who represents Palmer and Seisay, this week filed appeals on behalf of his clients and their cases will now be heard again in Worcester County Circuit Court in front of a jury. Abdul Kargbo has a reconsideration hearing set for District Court in Ocean City on March 19. Saidu Kargbo, who did not receive any jail time, has not filed for an appeal or reconsideration hearing.
Johnson said this week he filed appeals on behalf of Palmer and Seisay because of a desire to have the rather volatile case heard in front of a jury.
“There are things a jury may be more acutely aware of, and we want to have these cases heard in front of their peers,” he said. “We’re convinced they didn’t do anything wrong and that they didn’t assault any police officers.”
Palmer and Seisay will likely be arraigned in Circuit Court as soon as next week with new trials several weeks down the road. Johnson pointed out both Palmer and Seisay were also charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing and hindering, but were found not guilty on those counts. Palmer and Seisay were sentenced to 30 days, but neither is currently in custody pending their appeals.
“They were acquitted on three of the four counts, so we believe there is enough reasonable doubt to appeal,” he said. “Once we get these facts in front of a jury, we’re confident we will have a different outcome.”
Around 2:30 p.m. on July 21, 2013, Ocean City Police responded to the beach at North Division Street for a reported group of disorderly males. The request for assistance came from an Ocean City Beach Patrol lifeguard, who told police he approached the group to speak with them about playing soccer on the crowded beach, at which time one of the suspects allegedly threatened him.
When OCPD officers attempted to speak with Abdul Kargbo, he allegedly began cursing and yelling at the officers and attempted to leave the scene. As officers attempted to arrest Kargbo, several other members in the group began to yell at police and act in a threatening manner, according to police reports and testimony during the state’s case in November.
What happened next, according to police reports and witnesses on the beach, was a pushing-and-shoving match between the suspects and police, including punches thrown, as officers attempted to detain the combatants. By that time, a large crowd had gathered, causing additional officers to respond to the scene. However, the defense witnesses called on Wednesday painted a different picture of the events leading up to the incident, calling the lifeguard and ultimately the OCPD officers as the aggressors during the confrontation.
According to police reports and testimony in November, Seisay and Saidu Kargbo allegedly assaulted officers and resisted arrest. Palmer was also involved in the fray and allegedly verbally and physically abused the arresting officers. During the struggle, Palmer was wrestled to the beach by OCPD officers and an attempt was made to handcuff her. She was eventually taken into custody and transported to the Public Safety Building for processing.
During Palmer’s processing on charges of assault and reckless endangerment, she began to experience labor pains and she was transported to the hospital where she had an emergency C-section. Palmer was formally charged days later after the birth of her child with assault, resisting arrest, obstructing and hindering and disorderly conduct.
Two days after the incident, the suspects’ family and friends told a Washington, D.C. area TV news station the Ocean City Police account of the incident was false and the group was not being disruptive on the beach. Instead, the suspects’ version claimed the incident was veiled in hints of racism and profiling. A cell phone video of a portion of the incident clearly shows it escalating from a shouting match between the defendants and police to a physical confrontation with the pregnant Palmer right in the middle of the fray.
The video, which was shown again during the trial earlier this year, went viral almost immediately and police officers were criticized in many circles for the alleged excessive force used on the pregnant Palmer. From the beginning, however, OCPD officials stood by the actions of the officers under the circumstances.

BRIEFING: Male Sexual Assault in the Military
The Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus invites you to attend a briefing on male sexual assault. The latest report from the Department of Defense’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) showed that a large number of men in the military are victims of sexual assault, and that men are less likely to come forward and report. The claim is supported by a March GAO report that estimated at most only 13 percent of males reported their assaults, which is significantly lower than the percentage of females who report.
Please join us for a panel discussion with the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, male survivors about the physical and mental trauma that male survivors of sexual assault experience, and the treatment and resources available.
Who: Dr. Nathan Galbreath, Senior Executive Advisor for the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention Response Office
Dr. Susan J. McCutcheon, Director of Family Services, Women MentalHealth, and Military Sexual Trauma, VA Women’s Health Services
Survivor Support Groups, including Male Survivor, MR. MST and INTERNITY
Survivors of Male Sexual Assault
What: Briefing on Male Sexual Assault in the Military
Where: Cannon 210
When: October 7, 2015 2:00-3:00 PM
The Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus: The Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus is a bipartisan forum for all Members of Congress to learn about the problem, work with agencies to shape policy and create legislative solutions that improve Servicemember morale and welfare. The Military Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus is proud to have championed and supported substantive changes to how the services work toward preventing sexual assaults and respond to assaults when they do occur.
To RSVP, or if you would like to become a member of the caucus, please contact Sara Outterson (Sara.Outterson@mail.house.gov, 202-225-3411) or Morley Greene (Morley.Greene@mail.house.gov), 202-225-6465)

Breaking news! Stop the presses! Extr-ee, extr-ee, read all about it! According to a new report, Britney Spears
is so breathtakingly boring on The X Factor
that producers are planning to give the living legend the ol’ heave-ho come 2013, citing her underwhelming performance and sky-high salary as reasons for her unsustainable future. Of course, this comes courtesy of an exclusive story in Us Weekly
, so we’ll await an official confirmation before trying too hard to get #Pray4Godney to trend on Twitter.
News that Spears is a snooze on the show won’t shock even her most diehard devotees, and her low-octane delivery hasn’t gone unnoticed by producers who were, perhaps, expecting something a little more on the umbrella-wielding end of the spectrum. “They paid [$15 million] for her to say ‘amazing’ and offer half-claps,” an “insider” told Us Weekly
. As for Simon Cowell
, another source alleges that he’s eager to see Spears gone: “He wanted crazy Britney, but he got boring Britney.” Admittedly, that’s probably how most of America feels too.
Given that The X Factor continues to flounder in the ratings, it may be time to face facts: Spears may remain one of the world’s best pop stars, but she’s not a particularly compelling TV personality. Conversely, Christina Aguilera‘s last album was a colossal flop, but she makes for wickedly dynamic and compulsively watchable television. Do with that what you will.

Over the last two days I have had one mission: use zucchini. My dad's zucchini plants started going crazy at the same time as ours, and it seems that the farm air is making them huge. Since we both planted about three times the amount of plants we expected to survive, and since the vermin went after the corn and sunflowers instead, we are now faced with a bit of a zucchini plague. Seriously, these things are enormous.
I have made several batches of pureed zucchini into baby food, made about a dozen loaves of zucchini bread, and grated it into pretty much everything we've eaten for dinner over the last few weeks. If you know me, you know I'm in heaven - I've always wanted to "live off the land" and we've be doing just that. Titus did poop 6 times yesterday - I think the combination of zucchini and pureed apricots has kicked his system into over-drive.
Yep, we have just as many apricots as we do zucchini. I discovered that pureed apricots make a really nice substitute for oil in baking recipes. I usually substitute apple sauce for oil, but the apricots work just as well. I'm gearing up to make jam, but I'm always a bit scared to get started on that project. Hopefully I get myself going on that before they all go bad.
Oh, and I just have to say that I LOVE my Vita Mix blender. That thing could pulverize a cantaloupe. Thanks Grandma!

For centuries a good baked pheasant recipe has accompanied the tables of the wealthiest people . Those families with a hunting tradition have always prepared this type of bird. Its meat is tender and juicy, especially that of female specimens. Added to its good flavor, it highlights its high-level nutritional capacity. Pheasant meat is quite protein and low in fat. In fact, this is a highly recommended food for muscle development in athletes and very active people. Its consumption is also recommended during pregnancy and the first stages of life of the youngest . Without a doubt, this poultry meat is an ideal food element for growth.
The secret of the pheasant is in its high concentration of vitamins of group B . For example, for every 100 grams of its meat we can obtain 0.65 milligrams of vitamin B6. Although in lower concentration, this food also has significant amounts of B3. Of course, it is also endowed with minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Having verified its nutritional potential, the next thing to do is learn this simple baked pheasant recipe … Pay attention!
- 1 pheasant
- 2 onions
- 3 carrots
- 6 cloves garlic
- 6 potatoes
- 150 milliliters of rosé wine
- 300 milliliters of sweet wine
- Extra virgin olive oil
How to prepare a baked pheasant recipe:
- Place the whole pheasant in a pot .
- Add water, salt and bay leaf to the pot with the pheasant.
- Cook the pheasant for an hour and a half until the meat is tender .
- Take the pheasant out of the pot and debone.
- Peel and chop the onion into approximately one centimeter slices .
- Peel the cloves of garlic and cut into sheets.
- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes and carrots into slices.
- Grease the baking tray with butter .
- Place the onion slices and garlic on the tray.
- Add the boned pheasant to the tray.
- Add carrots and potatoes to the pheasant.
- Spread the two types of wines over meat and vegetables .
- Season the meat and vegetables and place 5 pieces of butter. Add the broth in which you boiled the meat with the laurels .
- Bake 30 to 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
It is very likely that we should add a little more water for cooking. The objective is that the meat is not too dry, since the texture would not be ideal in that case.

Poulter gives Monty reason to bite his lip
WE'VE gagged at some of his outlandish on-course costumes; glowered at his selection ahead of Darren Clarke for the Ryder Cup and guffawed out loud when he dared suggest he'd be second only to Tiger Woods at the top of the world!
Well nobody's laughing now.
Ian Poulter's 16-year odyssey from selling chocolate bars and tee pegs in a club pro shop to World Golf Championship victory in Tucson on Sunday stands in glorious relief to Tiger's horrific fall from grace.
How apt that along with his €1,019,635 winner's cheque as Accenture Match Play Champion, Poulter should also receive The Walter Hagen Trophy, dedicated to golf's most famous dandy.
"He was a snappy dresser," said Poulter, plainly delighted with the association.
Apart from the legendary American's 11 Major titles, there's one other significant difference between Hagen and the man from Hitchin: Poulter does his own ironing.
He's worth millions; has just added a Ferrari California and a Mercedes S63 AMG to his car collection and parks them outside the home he shares with wife, Katie, and their two young children on the exclusive Lake Nona resort in Orlando.
Yet the 34-year-old Englishman personally presses each outfit in his hotel room before wearing it in public. Indeed, his commitment to fashion inevitably led some fans to mistake him more for a clothes horse than a world-class golfer.
"For me it's a business and one that I'm very passionate about," he explains. "I take pride and care in how I present myself on the golf course. I iron my clothes for every match. I want to go out there looking good.
"It's interesting how a lot of people have judged me by the way I present myself as opposed to how well I can actually perform, which makes it very pleasing for me to be in this position now. I guess being No 5 in the world stands for more than just what I wear."
Poulter is justifiably proud of his highest world ranking so far in a career which had such humble origins in 1994, when, as a four handicap, he was employed as an assistant at his local club, The Jack O'Legs, named after a 14th century highwayman who used to rob the rich to give to the poor.
That was the year another 18-year-old named Eldrick Woods became the youngest-ever winner of the US Amateur title.
Poulter graduated from Q-School with his European Tour card at his fourth attempt in 1999 and, after winning the Italian Open in his first season, was named Rookie of the Year in 2000, as the world stood in awe of Tiger and three stunning Major Championship victories at Pebble Beach, St Andrews and Valhalla.
Though Poulter's climb up the world ladder was at a more modest pace, he managed to win in each of his first five years on the European Tour, in the process making his Ryder Cup debut at Oakland Hills in 2004.
His infamously prickly relationship with current Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie is believed to have its origin in the following year's Seve Trophy. On that occasion, Poulter chose to practise instead of supporting his Britain and Ireland team-mates on 18 and when team captain Monty challenged him on that point he allegedly received a two-word reply.
The Scot has fired a verbal bullet or two in Poulter's direction since, most notably for not playing at Gleneagles in the final qualifying event for the 2008 Ryder Cup and for skipping last autumn's Vivendi Trophy match in Paris.
"Given that he was a captain's pick for the last Ryder Cup, I feel that he could have made more effort to be here, that he could have given a little more back," Montgomerie said.
Faldo's wild card came with white-hot controversy, though Poulter has consistently denied suggestions he opted out of Gleneagles after being 'given the nod' by the European captain ahead of the tournament.
Yet Poulter would silence his critics, myself included, with a wonderfully defiant display at Valhalla, winning four out of five points for a losing European cause, the most accrued by any player on either side.
He believes that experience contributed to the remarkable "sense of calm" he felt as Sunday's 36-hole final against Paul Casey came to a climax. Poulter had never felt as much in control as he completed a 4&2 victory, which should stand to him when he next gets into contention at the Majors -- he was an impressive second to Padraig Harrington at the 2008 British Open in Birkdale.
At first glance, Poulter and Harrington might appear like polar opposites but behind that brash exterior, the Englishman is as grimly determined as Ireland's triple Major champion. He's more precise from tee to green; his short game is not quite as good as the gifted Dubliner's but his putting probably is better, which really is saying something.
For all that, the shot of Poulter's championship was an exquisite chip from a swale to the right of the 15th green on Sunday evening, setting up the birdie which would finally break Casey's heart.
"It was the toughest shot I had. The ball had a lot of mud on it and it was quite a bare lie so I had to hit it absolutely perfectly," said Poulter. And that's precisely what he did. "My short game has been as good in the last week as it's ever been."
Reminded of Poulter's extravagant claim in a magazine article two years ago that on his good days he's second only to Tiger (a quote taken out of context, the embarrassed Englishman insisted at the time), Casey said: "Ian will always tell you exactly what he's thinking, which makes me smile.
"Yet if he believes it, and he does, there's no reason why he couldn't get to that spot (in the world). It's not about talent, it's about a player's work ethic and his belief and all the other attributes that go into being a great golfer.
"Everyone chuckled when we read those comments but I know how hard Ian works and how much he cares about it. So, deep down, I for one thought it was not such an outrageous comment. I think he showed today he's pretty good."
For me, the most telling of Poulter's six matches was his comprehensive 7&6 shutout of Sergio Garcia in the semi-final. The brittle, cranky Spaniard was never given the slightest whiff of hope by his opponent's precision play.
Poulter is the world's finest match player in more than name alone. He's certain of his place at the Ryder Cup next October and even if he gets up Monty's nose, the canny Scot knows he won't find a better leader in the field at Celtic Manor.
Now he's notched his first PGA Tour victory in five years on US soil and has claimed his country's first victory at WGC events, Poulter's ability to putt well under pressure establishes him as Europe's most likely candidate to follow Harrington into the winning circle at the Majors.
No longer will anyone laugh when this unlikely hero from Hitchin talks of mauling the Tiger.
Light at end of tunnel for injury-ravaged McGinley
PAUL McGINLEY can, at last, see an end to his injury nightmare.
Cleared to resume light practice only a fortnight ago after undergoing a sixth operation on his left knee in November, the Dubliner has set his sights on a comeback at next month's Hassan II Trophy in Morocco.
"Considering the history of that knee, the scans were good," said the 2005 Volvo Masters winner.
"I am working closely with Dr Liam Hennessy, who is overseeing my rehab."
After two weeks in San Diego, where he visited the TaylorMade test centre, McGinley has moved on to Palm Springs for further warm-weather work.

Man on death row in Marion County case appealed Thursday to Florida Supreme Court
Attorneys for William Kopsho, one of eight current death row inmates sentenced by Marion County judges, argued his case in front of the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday. The oral arguments continued an appeal process that has stretched for more than a decade.
A jury in 2005 found Kopsho, 62, guilty of killing his wife, Lynne Kopsho, along State Road 40 in the Ocala National Forest in 2000. Prosecutors argued at the trial that Kopsho was upset with his wife, who was 21 years old and 25 years his junior, after he learned of a sexual tryst between her and another man.
The jury recommended a death sentence for Kopsho in a 9-3 vote. Circuit Judge David Eddy later followed that recommendation and sentenced Kopsho to death in April 2005.
The Florida Supreme Court sent Kopsho’s case back to Marion County in 2007 for a retrial, citing an issue during jury selection. A new jury was seated for the retrial in 2009. That jury came to the same conclusion as the first: guilty as charged, with a death row recommendation. That jury recommended the death sentence by a 10-2 vote.
When the Florida Supreme Court upheld that sentence in 2012, Kopsho turned his attention to post-conviction relief. The motion essentially asked a trial court judge to reconsider his case on the grounds that his attorneys during the trials were ineffective, according to court records, Eddy denied Kopsho’s motion last year.
Thursday’s arguments in front of the Supreme Court constituted the appeal of the most recent trial court decision. Specifically, Reuben Neff, who is now representing Kopsho, argued Thursday that Kopsho deserves a shot at a lesser sentence for two reasons:
n Kopsho’s lawyers at trial court failed to present at his sentencing an adequate mental health evaluation, which would have factored years of sexual abuse into a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder.
n The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Hurst v. Florida, which found Florida’s death penalty unconstitutional, should be applied retroactively.
Neff and Stacey Kircher, representing the U.S. Attorney’s Office, noted in briefs and in arguments before the Supreme Court justices that a clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Elizabeth McMahon, evaluated Kopsho and testified about his mental health at his sentencing in 2009.
Kophsho’s mental state is relevant because a judge can weigh mental health among mitigating factors when considering whether to impose a death penalty. Eddy, for example, considered Kopsho’s mental and emotional disturbance at the time of the murder in his sentencing decision.
This was one of 14 mitigating factors offered by Kopsho’s attorneys, and the only one to which Eddy assigned moderate weight.
McMahon testified that Kopsho “would be termed probably a dependent personality disorder with some borderline features,” according to a brief filed with the Florida Supreme Court. Much of Neff’s argument on Thursday focused on McMahon’s failure to factor years of sexual abuse into that evaluation, and Kopsho’s attorney’s failure to secure a more complete mental health evaluation.
Kircher, representing the state, countered that McMahon did not reference sexual abuse in her testimony because there is no evidence to suggest such sexual abuse actually took place. When pressed by several justices, she said she did not know whether McMahon specifically asked Kopsho about sexual abuse, but emphasized that McMahon had conducted a lengthy and thorough investigation.
Romantic relationships, particularly abandonment by a romantic partner, are said to trigger Kopsho’s rage, in this case and in previous instances, according to McMahon’s 2009 testimony.
The Supreme Court justices spent less time questioning Neff and Kircher on Neff’s second argument, as to whether they should apply Hurst v. Florida retroactively.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling found that Florida judges, who are not required to follow jury recommendations on the death penalty, have too much power in imposing death penalties. Gov. Rick Scott just this week signed a bill into law mandating that judges cannot impose a death penalty without a 10-12 recommendation by juries.
The justices heard arguments in Kopsho’s case for just under an hour. They are not expected to hand down a decision for some time.

Met mortgages Chagalls: Desperate times
The Triumph of Music and The Sources of Music was reportedly appraised at $20 million and a Met spokesman tells New York that "the Met has had a long-term loan for a number of years which relied on cash holdings as collateral. The Chagalls are now being used as partial replacement collateral in order to free up some of the use of the cash."
This sounds pretty desperate, but there's really nothing wrong with using the art as collateral for a loan, especially if it's considered secure enough to warrant a lower interest rate than other options would require. Still, one board member reportedly called the decision to use the Chagalls to secure a loan a "decision of last resort."
Celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz has also taken out a loan against all of her work -- including future work -- and high-end pawn shops will likely be doing a brisk business, especially as Manhattan's booming real estate market deflates and over-leveraged elites look for other sources of collateral.

A few minor changes and upgrades will position us to make the most of the growing demand for walkable, urban environments. This is a sound strategy for keeping our older neighborhoods viable.
From Walkable Communities Inc. at www.walkable.org
Walkability is the cornerstone and key to an urban area's efficient ground transportation. Every trip begins and ends with walking. Walking remains the cheapest form of transport for all people, and the construction of a walkable community provides the most affordable transportation system any community can plan, design, construct and maintain. Walkable communities put urban environments back on a scale for sustainability of resources (both natural and economic) and lead to more social interaction, physical fitness and diminished crime and other social problems. Walkable communities are more liveable communities and lead to whole, happy, healthy lives for the people who live in them.
According to AARP, urban living appeals to retired people, empty nesters, baby boomers, and young families alike. They like the convenience of having stores, entertainment, and services all within walking distance.

Are you concerned about the H1N1 influenza virus and its potential impact on your health? With so much information circulating around the internet, it can be challenging to differentiate fact from fiction. Worry not! In this comprehensive blog post, we'll delve deep into the world of H1N1, discussing its various types, symptoms, prevention methods, risk factors and complications associated with this notorious virus. So buckle up for an informative ride as we explore everything you need to know about the H1N1 influenza virus to stay informed and protected.
H1N1, commonly known as "swine flu," is an influenza virus that primarily affects pigs but can also infect humans. It emerged in 2009 and caused a global pandemic due to its novel nature and the population's general lack of immunity against it.
H1N1, also known as swine flu, is a type of influenza virus that has various subtypes.
H1N1 influenza virus is known to cause symptoms that are similar to those of seasonal flu. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can lead to complications if left untreated.
Common Symptoms Include:
Symptoms of H1N1 typically appear within 2-3 days after exposure but it can take up to 7 days before an individual starts experiencing them. This makes it difficult for people who have been exposed but are not showing any symptoms yet to know if they are infected with the virus.
Preventing the H1N1 influenza virus is essential to avoid getting infected. One of the most effective ways to prevent it is by getting vaccinated against the flu every year. The vaccine can reduce your risk of getting sick and spreading it to others.
Apart from vaccination, practicing good hygiene habits can also help in preventing H1N1. Washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer regularly can decrease the spread of germs.
Covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing with a tissue or elbow can also minimize transmission. Avoid touching your face as much as possible since viruses often enter through our eyes, nose, and mouth.
Staying away from people who are sick with flu-like symptoms is another way to prevent catching H1N1 influenza virus. If you're feeling unwell yourself, stay home until you feel better so that you don't spread any germs around.
Maxlab offers an exhaustive list of tests for a comprehensive diagnosis of your health. Take a look at H1N1 Test for detecting H1N1 Influenza Virus in the body.
When it comes to H1N1 influenza virus, certain factors may increase the chances of getting infected. These risk factors include age, occupation and underlying medical conditions.
Elderly people are more susceptible to contracting the virus as their immune system weakens with age. Children under 5 years old are also at higher risk due to their developing immune systems.
Occupation can also play a role in the likelihood of getting infected with H1N1. Healthcare workers and those who work in close quarters such as schools or daycare centers have an increased risk of exposure to the virus.
Underlying medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease can weaken the body's ability to fight off infections including H1N1.
Complications of H1N1 influenza virus can be serious and sometimes life-threatening. They are more likely to occur in certain groups, such as young children, pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems.
In summary, the H1N1 influenza virus is a highly contagious respiratory illness that can lead to severe complications and even death. It has affected millions of people worldwide and continues to be a health concern.
Prevention measures such as vaccination, hand hygiene, and avoiding close contact with sick individuals are crucial in reducing the spread of the virus. However, it's important to note that certain groups of people are at higher risk for severe illness and should take extra precautions.

Rockland to Cuomo: Close state parks to halt the coronavirus
NEW CITY - Rockland County officials want Gov. Andrew Cuomo is close the state parks across the county to curtail the spread of the cornonavirus.
In letters to the governor, County Executive Ed Day and other officials have urged closure, especially as the death toll rises across Rockland with increasing numbers of people being diagnosed.
The county and several towns closed recreational facilities, including trails, parking lots, boat ramps, restrooms, offices and playgrounds.
Day told the governor that keeping the state parks open "flies in the face of reason and is creating situations that put us at risk of further spreading COVID-19."
Day noted New Jersey Gov. Philip Murphy has ordered parks closed across the Garden State, adding that Cuomo has boasted about working with Murphy and other area governors on plans to combat the virus.
"You have stressed the importance of coordinating efforts with other states ... " Day wrote. "It makes little sense for New Jersey state parks to be closed, but for New York’s to remain open."
Cuomo also was sent letters from a batch of Rockland legislators and the five town supervisors including Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann, whose town hosts the popular Rockland Lake state park. Bear Mountain and Harriman state parks also continue to draw crowds of people.
In a letter dated April 10 and co-signed by several lawmakers, Legislator Laurie Santulli, R-Valley Cottage, said to keep open the state parks was "irresponsible."
The letter went to Erik Kulleseid, the commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
Santulli wrote that hundreds of people were picnicking and playing contact sports at Rockland Lake this past weekend. She remained concerned about the impact on local law enforcement, as well as the state park police.
“It is disturbing that New York State Parks remain open and the public continues to gather by the hundreds,” Santulli wrote. "I am asking that you please immediately order State parks in Rockland County closed at this time. I would further request that the NYS Park Police step up patrols of the State parks in Rockland County to ensure compliance with the closures. Given the circumstances, it would make sense to close state parks throughout the state as well, or — at minimum — throughout the downstate region."
Co-signing the letter to the commissioner were Republican county legislators Christopher Carey, James Foley, Lon Hofstein, Doug Jobson, John McGowan, and Vince Tyer and Democrats Jay Hood and Aney Paul.
Cuomo's press office didn't respond to a request for comment from The Journal News/lohud.
A rocky relationship
Correspondence between Day and Cuomo have had rocky moments during the coronavirus crisis. The governor has overruled several county initiatives to combat the spread of the virus.
The most publicized blow up came earlier this month after Day asked the governor to approve a containment zone around the neighborhoods with the highest numbers of people diagnosed with virus.
The areas included thousands of people living in the zip code areas of Monsey and Spring Valley, though other areas of the county also have been hard hit per their population. Since the two areas have high concentrations of Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox Jews, there's been recriminations and harsh words that the religious community was being singled out.
During his daily news conference on April 4, Cuomo and state Health Commissioner Howard Zucker said they were unaware of such a request from Rockland officials.
"Nobody's asked me," Cuomo said of the request Day officially made in a letter two days prior.
Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo's top aide, vowed to follow up. She noted, however, that the containment area measures implemented in New Rochelle early on during the coronavirus outbreak — school closures, a ban on public gatherings — now apply statewide.
The parks being discussed include Rockland Lake, Bear Mountain, Harriman, Tallman Mountain, Nyack Beach, Minnewaska and Sterling Forest.
Joshua R. Laird, executive director of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, said some activities like camping have been suspended.
"We are also thinning out the number of tables at many of our more popular picnic areas," he told The Journal News/lohud. "We are expanding our public information campaign to warn visitors about social distancing and other public health guidelines. This includes new variable message boards on some roadways that advise travelers that parking may be limited."
Hoehmann wrote Cuomo and the other supervisors followed up by emailing the governor's aides.
"I anticipate that a response and a decision will be made shortly by the governor on the request," Hoehmann said. "Rockland Lake State Park is unique as it really is a destination park. Keeping it open would bring thousands of visitors to Rockland and the town of Clarkstown."
Hoehmann and other officials argued that New Jersey's park would draw people to Rockland Lake.
"Many of these people will visit our local businesses and potentially serve to spread the virus inadvertently," he said."

There's an abundance of guitar information out there on the web, some good, some not. I stumbled across Justin Sandercoe's site a year ago and now tell everyone about it. The lessons are conveyed so clearly, concisely and in the most congenial way. The site is laid out logically as well so you can to go straight to your area of interest... beginner, blues, rock, folk, jazz, rhythm, fingerpicking... it's all there and more. Spend ten minutes with Justin and you'll not only play better but feel better too. From novice to know-it-all, everyone will learn something from Sandercoe.
Many influences are cited as antecedents to the modern guitar. Although the development of the earliest "guitars" is lost in the history of medieval Spain, two instruments are commonly cited as their most influential predecessors, the European lute and its cousin, the four-string oud; the latter was brought to Iberia by the Moors in the 8th century.
Bolt-on necks, though they are historically associated with cheaper instruments, do offer greater flexibility in the guitar's set-up, and allow easier access for neck joint maintenance and repairs. Another type of neck, only available for solid body electric guitars, is the neck-through-body construction. These are designed so that everything from the machine heads down to the bridge are located on the same piece of wood. The sides (also known as wings) of the guitar are then glued to this central piece. Some luthiers prefer this method of construction as they claim it allows better sustain of each note. Some instruments may not have a neck joint at all, having the neck and sides built as one piece and the body built around it.
Also, while coated strings do last longer than non-coated strings they’re also significantly more expensive. Personally, I find that coated strings last roughly twice as long as non-coated alternatives. Since they’re also about twice as expensive, I personally don’t save any money using coated strings. However, depending on how acidic your sweat is your experience may vary.

Realizing the Ultimate Thermal Stability of a Lithium-Ion Battery Using Two Zero-Strain Insertion Materials
journal contributionposted on 26.09.2018, 00:00 by Takeshi Uyama, Takao Inoue, Kazuhiko Mukai
Thermal runaway of lithium-ion batteries has been of great concern in light of their anticipated widespread use in future information devices and in support of an environmentally friendly society. Although the utilization of a fire retardant liquid electrolyte or a solid-state electrolyte has been proposed as a possible solution thus far, the possibility of thermal runaway at elevated temperatures above ∼200 °C continues to exist. In this study, we focused on materials for the positive electrode, spinel-structured LiCoxMn2–xO4 (LCMO) with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, because of their thermal stability and “zero-strain” characteristics particularly for the x = 1 composition. Here, the term zero-strain refers to lattice parameters that undergo changes that are negligibly small during the charge and discharge reactions. Differential scanning calorimetry clarified that the x = 1 sample exhibited the most optimal thermal stability among the LCMO samples investigated, and that the total heat generation of the LCMO(x = 1)|Li7La3Zr2O12|Li[Li1/3Ti5/3]O4(LTO) battery was ∼0 kJ mol–1 up to 480 °C, i.e., ultimate thermal stability. In addition, because of the zero-strain characteristics of LTO, the combination of LCMO(x = 1) and LTO leads to an ideal battery that does not experience battery rupture, explosion, or leakage. Details of the thermal stability of the LCMO samples with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and necessary conditions for the ultimate thermal stability are discussed.

Characterization of monoclonal antibodies with specificity for DNA and the synthetic polypeptide antigen (T,G)-A-L.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Because of evidence for structural similarity of variable region genes of anti-DNA and anti-(T,G)-A-L antibodies, polyspecific interactions of monoclonal anti-DNA and anti-(T,G)-A-L antibodies were investigated. Of 20 monoclonal antibodies from C57BL/10 mice with (T,G)-A-L binding, two bound DNA as determined by ELISA. In contrast, two of five anti-DNA monoclonal antibodies from MRL-lpr/lpr mice bound (T,G)-A-L. For both sets of antibodies, antigen binding was shown to be the activity of the same antibody by cross-inhibition studies. To determine whether such polyspecific antibodies were expressed during autoimmune disease, sera of autoimmune MRL-lpr/lpr mice were tested for anti-(T,G)-A-L activity. This analysis demonstrated minimal elevations of anti-(T,G)-A-L in comparison to BALB/c controls. These studies thus confirm predictions about the binding activity of anti-(T,G)-A-L and anti-DNA antibodies based on structural analysis of variable region genes. They further indicate, that while anti-(T,G)-A-L and anti-DNA antibodies may have overlapping specificity, polyspecific antibodies of this kind are not preferentially expressed during autoimmunity.

good evening my name is ***** ***** I will assist
make sure the shift cable is still attached to the linkage on the injector pump. reach down with your finger and make sure the cable can move freely. you should be able to pull on it and feel resistance from this.
the other possibility is the governor in the trans. there is a cover on the side of the transmission that you can remove. it is on the drivers side toward the rear of the trans. the governor just pulls out. examine the plastic gear on the end for damage. it usually dishes or wears in the center and does not turn with the tailshaft.
how are you making out


Spray Diagnostics & Advanced Imaging
When light interacts with a scattering sample, the incident light is reduced - an effect referred to as light extinction. This renders some experimental problems. The example to the left shows three identical voxels containing a number of particles. However, despite being identical, the first voxel scatter more light than the last one because of light extinction.
Dual-SLIPI aims to quantify the sample based on how much it extincts light and not how well it scatters light which is the "normal" approach. This is done by viewing the sample at two positions and from two opposite sides simultaneously. By extracting the ratio between the images, the local extinction of light can be extracted.
The example to the left shows the difference between a conventional laser sheet-, SLIPI- and a dual-SLIPI measurement of a homogeneous sample. Only the dual-SLIPI case shows the homogeneity.

Brian Baldinger with the NFL network joins the show to talk all things NFL. When asked about the matchup between the Dolphins and the Cowboys coming up this Thanksgiving Thursday, Baldinger said Miami has been playing very well as of late. They have been able to get the ball to Reggie Bush early. They have also been able to prove that they can be very good vs. the run. Baldinger feels that Miami matches up well vs. the Cowboys.
Looking at the second helping of football this Thursday when the 49ers take on the Ravens, Baldinger started by saying that the 49ers dismantled the Cardinals. They could not do anything last week. He went on to say that the way these two teams play, this game could come down to field goals. Baldinger feels that the 49ers mentally may be as tough as anybody in the league. And for the third helping of football this Thursday Baldinger gives his thoughts on the Packers matchup vs. the Lions saying Detroit is the best team defensively on 3rd down right now and that can prove to be an issue for the Packers. He expanded by saying, the “Packers defense does not scare anybody the Packers give up a lot of yards to everybody. There could be a lot of points scored in this game.” And closing out the interview Brian Baldinger shared his thoughts on the Denver move to waive Kyle Orton saying, “Tim Tebow is the best thing to happen to the NFL this season.” He went on to say, “His team is juiced right now and it is all because on Tebow.
