Jacobs relocates global headquarters to Dallas
By Loren Blinde October 24, 2016
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced on October 24 that it has moved its headquarters from Pasadena, CA to Dallas, TX, expanding its current footprint in downtown Dallas' Harwood Center. Pasadena served as Jacobs' headquarters since it was founded by Dr. Joseph J. Jacobs in 1947.
Jacobs Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Steve Demetriou recently moved to Dallas along with several other key executives. With the new headquarters, the company employs more than 700 people in its Dallas and Fort Worth offices.
Demetriou said, "Jacobs had a long and successful history in Pasadena and will continue to employ more than 1,500 people in Southern California. Although our headquarters has relocated, we will maintain a strong workforce and office footprint across the state of California where we see ongoing expansion opportunities.
"As we continue to focus on transforming our business in terms of efficiency and high-growth in the engineering and construction industry, our new headquarters location ensures access to top talent and positions Jacobs for convenient access to our clients. In Dallas, we will also benefit from a business friendly economic and cultural environment."
Throughout the State of Texas, Jacobs employs nearly 4,500 employees working in the Aerospace, Transportation, Water, Aviation, Buildings, Defense, Oil and Gas and Power and Energy industries.
"Texas is already home to more than 50 Fortune 500 companies, and I am proud to announce today it will be home to one more," said Governor Abbott. "Because of our robust economic environment, more businesses are choosing to call Texas home. I would like to welcome Jacobs Engineering Group as the latest business to relocate its headquarters from California to the Lone Star State."
Jacobs has had a presence in Dallas since 1987. The company currently occupies nearly 100,000 square feet at the Harwood Center in downtown.
"This is a remarkable day for the City of Dallas, as we are thrilled to land a headquarters of this stature," said Mayor Mike Rawlings. "I have no doubt this relocation will help attract a number of smart, young individuals to live and work in our city. On behalf of our city council, we welcome Jacobs to Dallas."

The Blue Planet was conceived by Holly Avila from her roots in American folk music, both contemporary and traditional. She met an accordion player extraordinare, Ralph Romano, a seasoned professional from the Catskills circuit, and gave him cd's of Mexican and Colombian music to inspire his sound to fit her vision. She had also met a Peruvian musician at an Andean festival, and invited him to add his instrumentation to the mix to create her totally unique combination of Central and South American influences. With the drumming and percussion from Ed Hudak, who she had known for quite a while, you have the incredibly rhythmic and melodically lovely sound that the Blue Planet has created. As a perfect finishing touch, Ian Kirk brings his North American blues and jazz influence on the electric guitar, making the essential final statement of Pan American fusion.


"Terroir! Terroir! Terroir!" is something we always hear when trying to understand the nuances of fine wine. Whilst it remains very much a French term, these days it has been adopted world wide, across all the fine wine growing regions. Despite its habitual use in wine circles, it is rare to get more of an insight into exactly what terroir is – other than a generalised description of topography, micro-climate and soil profile. A vertical tasting of Vérité La Muse, going back to 2002, gave winemaker Pierre Seillan the opportunity to extol the virtues of "terroir" and most importantly how that defines his winemaking.
Before heading out to California, Pierre Seillan had worked in vineyards all over France, spending two decades in Bordeaux. Attuned to the tried-and-tested methods of Medoc winemaking, Pierre is someone who knows the Bordeaux terroir like the back of his hand. At one point in his career, he was making wines in eight separate appellations of the region. Working the different terroirs of Bordeaux, it was here that he started to build on his micro-cru terroir philosophy.
In the mid-1990s, Pierre Seillan made his first visit to California. On discovering the variety of soils and terroirs in Sonoma, Seillan instantly knew that he had much more to play with in terms of both typography, micro-climates and the intricate variety of soil profiles than was ever possible in Bordeaux. The variety of terroir in Sonoma was enough for him to move out there and embark on the Vérité project; a partnership with Barbara Banke and Jess Jackson from Jackson Family Wines. The first Vérité vintage was in 1998. In the relatively short time since, Vérité wines have received some of the highest praise of any wine produced in America – already receiving seven separate perfect 100 point scores from Robert Parker Wine Advocate.
According to Seillan, the huge potential he recognised in the terroir of Sonoma was about more than just the variety of soil profiles. It was important how the topsoil and roots affected the flavours and structure of the grapes that grow there. Exploring the vineyards, the first thing Seillan did was pick and smell the grass growing in the top soil and the fallen leaves from the nearby trees. This told him everything he needed to know about the potential of the vineyard site. From smelling the grass, he could gauge the intensity level of the topsoil which would reflect the flavour intensity produced by the grapes. From smelling the fallen leaves from nearby trees, he understood the intensity that could be found in the roots of potential vines planted in the same soil. This intensity would reflect the structure profile of the wines produced. So different were his findings, in comparison to analysis of the grasses and leaves grown in Bordeaux, that he realised his winemaking must be modified to match the intensity of Sonoma fruit and the more silky, elegant tannins they produce.
For Seillan, it was clear that a Sonoma red wine made from the Bordeaux varietals of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc could not simply copy the extraction and maceration techniques carried out in Bordeaux. The wines' tannin profiles were not structured or astringent enough to cope with the extended levels of maceration commonly adopted in Bordeaux. It was clear that the danger was too much alcohol and too much over-extraction and this had to be avoided at all costs. Equally, the flavour intensity in Sonoma required a shorter maceration to extract the flavours. He states: "the spice has to dance on the minerality, not on the tannins, it is important that complexities of the soil shine through rather than pushing the extraction of the tannins" – which serves only to mask the terroir.
The 20 year partnership between Jess Jackson, Barbara Banke and Pierre Seillon has seen them become ambassadors of the region. Seillan's micro-cru philosophy saw him plant 36 different Merlot blocks throughout Sonoma in 1999, these days he takes 120–140 samples from three Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc) grown on different soils throughout Sonoma. The final cuvee of La Muse (a Merlot-dominant blend) for example, will be made up of Merlot grown in 10 different soil types – this sort of variety in flavour and structure profile is just not possible in St Emilion.
While the three styles of Vérité are based on the Left and Right Bank blends of Bordeaux, Seillan insists they are no copies. The variety of terroir in Sonoma allows for much more varietal expression. Also the Pacific Ocean has a huge effect, regulating the temperature every day and providing a strong breeze in the vineyards – something not replicated in Bordeaux. Equally, the steep slopes in Sonoma (some at a 35% gradient) are very different to the relatively flat landscape of Bordeaux. The result is detailed, elegant and profound wines, marked much more by the distinct terroir of Sonoma.
Tasting through a vertical flight of Vérité wines going back to 2002 with Pierre Seillon and Barbara Banke, the pristine clarity of flavours and purity of fruit – a very Californian trait – were in abundance. As well as exceptional fruit purity, the wines have a very broad structural frame with fine yet detailed tannins bringing great balance to the wines. The alcohol levels are high (14-14.7% abv varying throughout the years) yet the alcohol is built into the framework perfectly, balancing the fruit intensity and the broadness of the palate. The consistency in quality and these wines' ability to retain freshness, power and depth at 15 years of age qualifies their place at the fine wine table.
Restrained aromas of cooked black and blue fruit flavours with sultanas, wood smoke and vanilla on the nose. The wine has well balanced mid-palate weight and broadness, sitting very evenly on the palate. Very concentrated black plum flavours – very clean, pure fruit and sweet spice, bursting with energy. Soft tannins that are extremely elegant and untarnished by the high alcohol of 14.7% (which is surprisingly integrated – you barely notice it).
Classic Cabernet aromas of blackcurrant cassis, menthol and vanilla with additional earthy dry spice, fresh leather and blackcurrant leaf. The shape of the wine has more shoulders and structure than La Muse but with less of the mid-palate weight. Great mineral freshness and energy and elegant, detailed tannins despite the structured profile. Cooked ripe black fruits with additional floral perfume sit above the fruit. Great minerality on the finish and great finesse on the palate from start to finish.
More closed on the nose, but once coaxed reveals complex aromas of perfume, spice, lavender, clove and vanilla. The perfumed ripe black fruit flavours explode on the back palate. The texture of the wine is sublime! Good energy, verve and intensity but beautifully measured. The wine has a very broad frame and is beautifully balanced, sitting evenly across the palate. There is a real peacock tail, floral, earthy lift on the back palate. This is still very wrapped up but bursting with potential.
Very silky, lovely sweet spice with hints of liquorice and a smokiness from the new oak still dominating the aromas. The palate is texturally brilliant – with fine and detailed tannins. Very even set, with lovely weight and broadness on the palate. The alcohol (at 14.5%) is brilliantly integrated into the framework of the wine. Beautifully elegant.
The well integrated smoky oak intermingles with tertiary aromas (leather and spice) and a herbal perfume. A lovely silky fine tannin texture glides effortlessly across the broad palate. Concentrated and expressive at 9 years of age full of blueberry fruit, sultanas and liquorice spice.
Wow! The 2007 is a real highlight. Incredibly silky texture. Full bodied yet so elegant and fine. Blueberry and cooked plum fruit, liquorice spice with more developed tertiary flavours of fresh leather. The wine has a lovely perfume lift on the finish and an energy surge which fleshes out on the back palate. The wine seems remarkably youthful for 11 years of age; still brimming with primary fruit and vibrant acidity.
Very expressive wine at 14 years of age. A great combination of plum fruit, leather, liquorice and a touch of graphite coming through. Wonderful rich mid-palate weight, loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit wrapped up in the silkiest of tannins. Full and broad and brimming with energy.
More tertiary savoury aromas – herbs, undergrowth and leather. There is no shortage of freshness/acidity despite the tertiary flavour development. The wine is showing no sign of breaking down anytime soon. Earthy blue and black fruits and a touch of smoked meat flavours on the palate. Perhaps lacks the concentration of the '04 and '07 but still incredibly elegant and fine.
Spending an afternoon with Pierre and Barbara, tasting the latest release of the 2015s as well as a vertical tasting of the La Muse going back to 2002 gave a truly insightful look into the philosophy behind these great wines.
Don't miss the 2015s – due to be released in the next few weeks.

Police Release Details of Crash That Caused Closure on Route 219
March 31, 2021 12:31 am·
Author: Aly Delp
BURNSIDE TWP., Pa. (EYT) – Police have released the details of a log truck crash that cause a closure on State Route 219 in Burnside Township on Monday afternoon.
According to Punxsutawney-based State Police, the accident happened around 3:15 p.m. on Monday, March 29, on State Route 219, near its intersection with Solley Road, in Burnside Township, Clearfield County.
Police say 23-year-old Joseph E. Carney, of Hamilton, Pa., was operating a 2003 Peterbilt log truck when he overcompensated a right curve and caused the truck to overturn onto its driver's side and come to rest in the northbound lane of Route 219.
According to police, the log truck lost numerous logs into the southbound lane of the roadway, and State Route 219 was closed for a time until the logs could be removed.
Carney was not using a seat belt and suffered possible injuries of unknown severity but was not transported.
A passenger in the truck, identified as 42-year-old Charles S. Brown, of Reynoldsville, was using a seat belt and was not injured.
The truck was towed from the scene.
Police say Carney was cited for careless driving.

FH genetic testing: it can make a lifetime of difference for patients
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) refers to a group of genetic defects resulting in severe elevations of blood cholesterol levels and increased risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). These defects are found in the FH genes, LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), and possibly others.
FH is one of the most common congenital metabolic disorders.1 The more common, heterozygous type of FH occurs in about 1 in 300 to 500 people; total cholesterol concentrations in are in the range of 350 mg/dL to 550 mg/dL. (The homozygous form is very rare, occurring in about 1 in 1,000 people.)
FH affects young family members as well as adults
Because FH has genetic origins, the hypercholesterolemia is present at an early age and can lead to premature CHD. FH is highly treatable with lipid-lowering medications, so an early diagnosis can mean lower risk of CHD later in life.
The problem: most FH goes undiagnosed. You can change that.
Today, FH is generally underdiagnosed and undertreated. In fact, 9 in 10 FH cases go undiagnosed1.
With the help of genetic testing, you can change that trend. Genetic testing for FH, from Quest, examines 3 actionable2-6 FH genes: LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9, to enable an early, definitive diagnosis of FH. Early testing, both in adults and in family members, through cascade screening, can lead to early diagnosis of FH and earlier treatment, which should lead to a long-term benefit for affected adults and their families. FH cascade screening is highly recommended to enable earlier insight and intervention.7
Diagnose today to treat tomorrow—and control risk long-term
The phenotypic diagnosis of FH in young family members is established with:9
2 LDL-C levels (obtained at least 3 months apart) >190 mg/dl or >160 mg/dl, in the presence of a family history of severely elevated LDL-C levels or premature coronary artery disease in a first-degree relative
LDL-C >130 mg/dL if a parent has a documented FH gene mutation*
Lipid-lowering therapy before adulthood has been proven to be advantageous. In Wiegman, et al., (2015), patients who were treated from adolescence until age 30 years were event-free, while 7% of parents had experienced an event by that age. The authors concluded that if diagnosed and treated at an early age, individuals with FH can have a normal life expectancy.10 For patients who need additional lowering of LDL-C after being on a controlled diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy, consider PCSK9 inhibitors.11
Know sooner to make a long-term difference
FH testing from Quest Diagnostics provides actionable information that can lead to earlier treatment and a lower lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease. Please contact your Quest Diagnostics Sales Representative to learn more.

Best Foot Massager Reviews: Are Your Dogs Barking?
Whether you wear high heels like me or you just love a relaxing massage at the end of a hard day, we all deserve a foot rub. Depending on the foot massager you choose, it could cost as much as a one-time massage with an actual person. You could actually save money by purchasing an at home foot massager (and get a massage more often).

We consider the ways in which we might preserve a mattress. Every six months, as we all know, you should rotate or flip your mattress so that it wears out evenly. Is there a simple, easy to follow procedure for ensuring that the mattress cycles through all four possible orientations?
At first blush, since you're not displacing the mattress in space, all you can do in 3D is spin it around an axis – either around the head-to-foot centerline, around the left-to-right centerline, or around the floor to ceiling centerline. Since the axes are orthogonal and you want a "single" instruction to run every six months, you're out of luck for just a repeatable, no-state instruction.
If you can add a piece of state information, however, you can do it just fine. For instance, say you flip the mattress on midsummer and midwinter. If you rotate around the head-to-foot centerline in midwinter (the long dimension since nights are at their longest) and around the left to right centerline in midsummer (the short dimension since nights are shortest) you end up getting all for orientations in a two-year cycle.
flip along the short axis.
You don't have to keep the state attached to the bed, you pick it up from the time of year. And if you live south of the equator, you invert the process.
There's a simpler solution than the mark-the-head one you mentioned on the program, in which there's no need to remember the order of operations. Effectively you make it a Z4 group.
Mark any corner. When it's time to cycle the mattress, notice which corner is marked, and do whatever it takes to move the mark clockwise by one corner. This will be a flip, either the long way or the short way (or a rotate and flip, doesn't matter).
You do have to remember that you're rotating clockwise, and not widdershins, but that's easy enough, since the whole matter is a function of time.
Now, if the mattress happens to be square….
As a housewife who never remembers to turn the mattress, and its too heavy anyway, surely the simplest solution is to label the 4 corners ( as above, 2 on each side) 1,2,3,and 4. After an even number you flip the mattress! that way you don't have to remember anything, because it won't take long to realise you need to flip the mattress when you can't find the next number on the side showing!

What are the top fixes or updates you should do to get the most for your property?
Every home is different, still there are many things that are worth doing on virtually every home to ensure it sells faster and for top dollar.
With a combined 28 years of experience in Toronto Real Estate, we have consistently seen that homes which are well presented sell faster and for a higher price.
I have also learned which fixes are worth doing, and which fixes are not.
We have a comprehensive checklist for houses and condos that can not only get you more money for your home, but can also save you a lot of stress during the selling process.
It is not a pleasant experience to realize, after the fact, that some of the costly upgrades you have made are not automatically added to the price of your home.
For example, I have seen where an owner has paid good money to have carpet laid on their entire first floor - and when I came to inspect their house I discover that they have installed it over decent hardwood floors that could have looked spectacular with professional treatment - at a fraction of the cost for the carpeting.
In another instance, the owner had stripped off all the shingles and reroofed the entire house when it was only the front porch that needed some repairs.
In cases like this, the problem is that sellers now expect to regain that money they spent back again on the sale price, and in the end, they often received only 50 cents per dollar spent.
So what is the best approach to sell for top dollar?
It's fairly straightforward... ONLY do cosmetic repairs that enhance the appeal in the eyes of the purchaser.
We've developed a very thorough checklist, and we can go through your home, room by room and identify the issues, that when addressed, will help you sell faster and for top dollar.

Battle of the Best: Warriors vs Hawks Preview
The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks provide a tonic for tanking by battling for the league's best record.
By Chris Nielsen Mar 18, 2015, 12:00am PDT
Share All sharing options for: Battle of the Best: Warriors vs Hawks Preview
Jason Getz-USA TODAY Sports
The two top teams in the NBA face off on Wednesday night at Oracle Arena, and this time the national audience gets to watch, as the Warriors and the Hawks are playing each other on ESPN. Both teams will be missing sharpshooters, with Klay Thompson and Kyle Korver out with a sprained ankle and a broken nose, respectively. Despite Thompson's absence, the Warriors will be looking forward to their chance to tie the season series up at home against their Eastern Conference counterparts.
When the two teams played each other last in Atlanta, the Hawks fought off a hot start from Thompson before taking the lead early in the second half and holding the Warriors at arms-length the rest of the way. It was a close game throughout despite Atlanta getting to the line 22 more times than the Warriors. Three-pointers from Mike Scott and former Warrior Kent Bazemore were the heartbreakers, but Scott will miss Wednesday's game due to injury.
Part of the reason the Hawks are so dangerous offensively is that they have so many shooters; seven of their players shoot above 35% from beyond the arc. Fortunately, the Warriors are well-equipped to defend the three-point line. In fact, they are ranked 4th in the league in opponent's three point percentage, holding opponents to 33% from deep. The breakdowns will occur when the Warriors have to help on Al Horford or Paul Millsap, two big men who are great at passing the ball out of the interior. At least Golden State won't have to constantly worry about a 50% three-point marksmen in Korver running around and causing problems. With a lesser threat like Bazemore taking Korver's minutes, the Warriors will be able to focus on corralling Jeff Teague, who had a team-high 23 points in their last meeting.
It sounds like Steve Kerr is going to be starting Justin Holiday in Klay Thompson's spot, and this will be the rare game where Kerr gives minutes to both Holiday and Leandro Barbosa. In the great Holiday-Barbosa debate, I'm on team Holiday due to his size and defense, but it will be good for both of them to get a run because they each may be needed in the playoffs, depending on the situation. I don't think either of them will finish this game; I suspect Kerr will finish with a lineup with Shaun Livingston at the point guard position and Stephen Curry as the off-guard. This type of lineup has been seeing more minutes, lately, and Thompson's absence makes it even more likely.
Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes were each in foul trouble the last time the teams met, and this makes them the X-factors coming into Wednesday's game. Especially with Thompson out, they will need to hit a few threes to keep Atlanta's defense honest, and if the Hawks put them into pick and roll situations defensively, they will need to do a better job of containing Teague without fouling.
Curry and Thompson both produced when these teams last met, but the Hawks' supporting cast outplayed their Warrior counterparts. That balance needs to shift for the Warriors to beat Atlanta. The Warriors have an MVP favorite, and the Hawks don't have any players who put up 30-point games. The Hawks' system wins. The Hawks win by having more players bring it every night than the other team. Every Warrior who hits the floor needs to bring it, and the rest will be gravy.
How does gravy taste on hawk? I have no clue. They're harder to catch than turkeys.
Go Warriors.

Q: DisallowedHost error using PythonAnywhere I'm new to Python and Django, and I'm following this tutorial to learn some Django basics. I keep getting a DisallowedHost error. (Screenshot: https://ibb.co/c1beYG)
As per this post, I added 'chocoberrie.pythonanywhere.com' to the ALLOWED_HOSTS list in settings.py, and I made sure to include it in quotation marks and keep the brackets. I even added it to requests.py, at line 113 (indicated in the error message).
Additional screenshots: https://ibb.co/jwUNnb and https://ibb.co/fbmrfw
I also committed the changes to Git, and I double-checked the repository to make sure that the URL was added to ALLOWED_HOSTS. I also made sure to reupload the changes on PythonAnywhere.
After all that, I'm still getting the error! It's really frustrating, and I don't know what else to do. Any help would be much appreciated!
Note: I did see a way to "disable" this error in this post, but I'm using a newer version of Django, so I don't know how to apply this.

A: I did the same tutorial! To solve this problem you have to go in the settings.py file of your django application. You will find ALLOWED_HOST setting which will be blank by default. Enter the following replacing your pythonanywhere name with your's:- '<your-pythonanywhere-name>.pythonanywhere.com'
now git pull in bash console and reload the website!

Slow cookers have been around for a long time, and they've gone through a lot of changes over the years. The Ninja Cooking System isn't your mom's slow cooker - not only does it have low and high slow cooker settings, plus a "buffet" setting for keeping food warm, but it also has three "stovetop" settings for searing or frying, and it also has "oven" temperature settings from 250 to 425 degrees.
Yup, the instructions say you can use it like an oven. We'll see about that, won't we?
The first thing I attempted was cheesecake, using a recipe that came with the unit. Perfect little 4-inch cheesecakes were the result - just like cooking in a waterbath in the oven.
I decided to try a few roasting recipes. First, I tried a chicken. I didn't get the typical brown, crisp skin. but the chicken itself was moist and very juicy.
The instructions had a workaround for the fact that meats don't brown like they would in a large oven - searing the meat before or after cooking - but the shape of a chicken isn't particularly conducive for that treatment. While I got parts of the chicken browned, other parts were pallid. So, if you're a big fan of poultry skin or you need beautiful presentation of a whole bird, this might not be the best option. If all you want is the meat, then this works just fine.
I had much better results with a leg of lamb. I browned the meat first, then roasted it on the Ninja's rack with no extra liquid. The result was the same as if I roasted it in the oven, and the drippings were ready for making gravy.
The unit included a few recipes for baked goods, and the theory is that you can use less fat because the steam contained in the oven will keep the baked goods moist. Since the heat source is on the bottom, you won't get a lot of browning on top, which might or might not make a difference.
As far as a slow cooker, it does the job well and cleans up easily since it's got a nonstick finish. The oblong shape means it accommodates things like roasts or whole chickens better than a round cooker, and also gives you more surface area for browning foods.
This gadget has been living on my counter since I got it, and has gotten a lot of use. So far, I've been happy with all the results. For sure, this isn't going to replace my oven for things like baking cookies or the Thanksgiving turkey, but it's a heck of a lot more versatile than my old slow cooker that had dire warnings about not cooking anything without sufficient liquid.

Moira Gilmour
Published 8th July 2014
The late Moira Gilmour's remarkable achievements in the legal profession are made all the more laudable by the atypicality of her background. Born to shopkeeper parents and granddaughter to coal miners, she attended the local comprehensive before becoming the first member of her family to attend university, or indeed move out of the 10 mile radius of their home town. Moira studied French, German and philosophy on a scholarship at Glasgow University, before undertaking an MA and LLB in Law. Moira herself described this move as merely accidental; she felt she ought to pursue a vocational career, and picked law over medicine simply because several friends of hers were converting to the legal profession.
After qualifying as a lawyer in 1981, Moira worked at Scottish firm McGrigor Donald for several years. She first became a partner during her time at Kennedys, and enjoyed a 14 year partnership at Field Fisher Waterhouse. When Moira became their managing partner in 2006, she was one of only a few women to manage a leading UK law firm. Under her stewardship, the firm went from strength to strength, with turnover increasing from £60 million to £94 million, and partnership size doubling. Moira also orchestrated and oversaw an ambitious expansion onto the continent, opening offices in Belgium, France and Germany, as well as making strides in pro bono and social responsibility work closer to home – she never forgot her background and strove to help those in similar circumstances to see what it was possible for them to achieve. Moira was diagnosed with cancer and sadly died in 2012, leaving behind a law firm stronger than she found it: her ethos of pairing robust commitment to social mobility with steely and ambitious determination to succeed was imprinted on the firm irrecoverably.

2016 USATF Masters 5KM Cross Country Championship-Preview [2]—Overall & Age Divisions
November 5 2016. Tallahassee Florida will welcome 112 speedy Masters Cross Country runners to their gorgeous course. As far as the nature of the course goes, Bill Quinlisk notes: "The course is 40% short well-mowed grass and 60% fine-crushed shell trail.The trail section is rolled the morning of the race. There are no major hills. Last year, when we viewed the Florida High School's State XC Championships on the same course, most runners were wearing 1/8 or 1/4 inch spikes. Racing flats are another option although for the later races the trail may begin to wear. Also, weather may impact the length of spikes needed."
Overall Race
At last year's race there were no awards for the Overall winners and I imagine that is the case this year although the USATF website is missing information on prizes and awards for 2016. Still, whether there are prizes or not, we are a visual animal; we see the race and are naturally curious about who comes across the finish line first. Last year the Women were all in one race but the Men were split up into three races, 40+, 50+, and 60+ so the idea of a single winner was a little strained. In fact the fastest time was recorded out of the 50+ race. This year there is one Men's race and one Women's race so it will be easy to observe who is the first across the finish line.
Men. We may well see the fastest time of the day recorded again by a 50 year old. Kristian Blaich finished 7th overall at the 5K Masters Road Championship at the Syracuse Festival of Races in a smoking fast 15:48. None of the 6 who came in ahead of him have entered so that makes him the favorite. His main competition should be Coloradan Craig Greenslit and Florida's Danny Goodman, Jr. Greenslit finished 11 seconds behind Blaich in Syracuse, but Greenslit could have an edge on a cross country surface. In December 2014, Greenslit came in nearly 20 seconds ahead of Blaich at Club Cross. Goodman has an advantage over Blaich in terms of time, not head-to-head competition. Blaich won the 2015 10K Championship in Dedham in 33:56; Goodman took 6th in 2016 but ran 33:36, 20 seconds faster. None of the other competitors has broken 16:20 at Syracuse although Tommy Carroll ran 16:21 this year. Steve Bell has run a 15:47 at the notoriously fast Macon Labor Day 5K but the rest of his 5K's are above 16:30. Blaich's teammates, Brad Salvens and Peter Kotchen, have run 16:07 and 16:14 respectively at Macon but cannot usually run with Blaich. It looks like these others will have a tough time keeping up with the first three mentioned.
Blaich, Greenslit, Goodman.
Women. The Women's Race should come down to a contest between Marisa Sutera Strange and Sonja Friend-Uhl. They battled for the win in the Masters 10K Road Championship in Dedham with Sutera Strange winning in 36:27 by a single second. At the 5K Masters Championship in Syracuse the order was reversed with Friend-Uhl clocking a 17:46 to best Sutera Strange by 8 seconds. Both do just as well on the Cross Country course as they do on the Road so it should be another great duel to watch. And that's not all. There are several contenders to be the third finisher overall, Trish Butler, Alice Kassens, Kara Parker, and Katherine Wolski. NB Tampa's Butler ran 19:02 at the 5K Championships last month, while Kassens, of the Athena Track Club, who likes the longer races, has a 1:28:11 half marathon and a 47:26 in the last 12K Championship in Alexandria. That 12K time is age-grade equivalent to a 19:05. Run Minnesota's Parker, meanwhile, won her 45-49 age division at the Medtronic 10 Mile Run in 1:04:23, an age-grade equivalent of 19:06. And the 10 Mile Run has that long hill coming up from the Mississippi River. I give Parker a chance to break into the top 3. Still, Wolski should be able to stay ahead of those three as she has run her 5K's in the 18:18 to 18:40 range and, no slouch at the longer distances, a 59:21 15K that is an 18:50 AG Equivalent 5K. Of course, the XC course itself can also make road course comparisons less relevant.
Friend-Uhl, Sutera Strange, Wolski
Runners By Age Divisions
Men. With Greenslit and Blaich showing, if not acting, their age by way of the joining the Men's 45 and 50 divisions respectively this year, Goodman should control the Men's 40. Tommy Carroll normally runs for Atlanta, as he did at Syracuse but he is on his own this weekend, perhaps to allow others to have a chance at the fun. There is a good chance he should go home with a Men's 40 Silver Medal. He was 7 seconds ahead of his ATC teammate Brent Fields, who is probably his toughest competition. Kevin Burke of Checkers AC was ten seconds behind Fields at Syracuse. Perhaps he can catch him on the Cross Country course. [Late flash--Carroll will be added to the ATC team as it appears Michael Strickland may have a sprained ankle.
Goodman, Carroll, Fields.
Women. Alice Kassens should dominate the 40's division. Atlanta's Kathy Wiegands who runs strong 5K' in the upper 19, low 20 minute range and a half marathon not much above 1:30, will try to stay with Kassens. But both her 5K and Half Marathon times tend to be well slower than Kassens so it will be a challenge. If Stephanie Whitis can run as well as she did at Syracuse when she clocked 20:31, that should be enough to give Atlanta a 2-3 finish for the Women's 40 as well.
Kassens, Wiegands, Whitis.
Men. Craig Greenslit looks to be the one to beat for this group. Steve Bell may well be second across the line but the Atlanta guys will try to get there first. Valentin Alvarez, Peter Kotchen, Brad Slavens and Eric Stabb all have a shot at a podium finish. Stabb ran great at the 10K Championship in 2015, breaking 34:30, and at the 8K Championship in Brea in 26:40 earlier this year, but has not been active on the roads since. If he is anywhere near the form he had then, he could easily wind up on the podium.
Greenslit, Stabb, Bell.
This division looks pretty clear although on a given day anything can happen. Barring surprises it should be Sonja Friend-Uhl taking the win with Kara Parker a strong second and Atlanta's Susan Welch, a 1:40-ish half Marathoner, in 3rd.
Friend-Uhl, Parker, Welch.
Men. Kristian Blaich should be running in the lead pack for the Overall Race win. Along the way he should take this division easily. His teammate, Michael Strickland, who ran 17:12 in Syracuse looks to be the best of the rest. Mike Nier and Dale Flanders of the Genesee Valley Harriers, will try to deny him the 2nd spot. Nier ran 17:22 at Syracuse. Flanders, if he is not too tired from his 15K exertions in the heat of Tulsa last weekend, should be well positioned for a podium finish; he ran 17:35 in Syracuse. [Late news flash-rumor has it that Michael Strickland sprained an ankle and may not be able to run.]
Blaich, Nier, Flanders.
Women. I can read off my 1-2-3 for this division by just looking up at the Overall Race. Sutera Strange, Wolski and Butler should finish in that order for both Overall and Women's 50 races.If any of those 3 have an off day, GVH's Kathleen Hayden is poised to pounce. Her 20:13 at Syracuse suggests she could be in the hunt for a podium spot. Others who will be up close include Butler's teamate from Tampa, Michelle Allen, TNT's Kimberly Anderson and GVH's Carol Bischoff.
Sutera Strange, Wolski, Butler.
Alico, Cushing-Murray, Carlson.
Men. The Atlanta Track Club's Gary Droze looks to be the favorite although he will be pushed by Florida's Alfonso Solano. Droze's 17:14 at Syracuse gives him the credentials for first but Solano has run a few 5K's in the 17:30-17:45 range. It appears the race for third place will be between ATC's Michael Anderson and Stephen Crelli from Pittsburgh. Crelli probably has the edge; he has run his 5K's in the 18:30 to 18:58 range. Anderson's best 5K is an 18:58 in the Atlanta 5K. I would give Crelli even more of an edge on the basis of a 36:44 in Pittsburgh's Great Race except that it is a 'PR-Maker,' dropping 400 feet over its 10K course. But Crelli is a strong runner, make no mistake! Bob Nugent, Jr. is a 'dark horse.' A Mountain, Ultra and Trail runner, Nugent does not appear to have the speed of the runners named above but cross country should play to his strength.
Droze, Solano, Crelli.
Women. This division shapes up as a battle between New Balance Tampa's Susan 'Lynn' Cooke and ATC's Mary Sweeney. Cooke ran 20:26 at Syracuse and, while Sweeney has no recent marks I can find, was running terrific earlier this year. She ran 41:47 in the 10K Championships in Dedham, an age-grade equivalent of 19:59. But the absence of recent race results makes performance less certain. Margaret Sloan has been running her 5K's in the low 22 minute range and should have the edge for third. GVH's Colleen Magnussen may well have something to say about that; she ran a 23:12 5K at Syracuse last month.
Cooke, Sweeney, Sloan.
Men. It is good to see Tom McCormack back among us. He broke the Men's 60-64 record 2 years ago in Syracuse with a 16:58. But much of 2015 and 2016 were years lost to injury. He is not back all the way to that fitness level but will be a force to be reckoned with, no doubt. He has run three local 5K's in and around the Smoky Mountains in 17:42 to 18:09. He also apparently has a 4:46 at the Waynesville Main Street Mile. It may be flat, possibly even downhill and fast but however fast it is, a sub-5-minute mile is moving! The competition comes mainly from the Boulder Road Runner's Kyle Hubbart, and the GVH duo of Gary Radford and Mark Rybinski. Hubbart ran 18:18 at Syracuse and, if he is not still feeling the Tulsa 15K, should give McCormack something to think about. Radford was only 3 seconds back from Hubbart at Syracuse so he will be right in there as well. Rybinski was further back at Syracuse but is on the road to recovery. He should be running faster after another month of recovery and training. We had hoped to see Ken Youngers take part in this spirited competition but rumor has it that he may not make it. If true, we certainly hope to see him running for ATC in December at Club Cross.
McCormack, Radford, Hubbart.
Women. This will be a stroll in the park for the Atlanta Track Club; all 3 runners in the division are affiliated with ATC. Cynthia Williams should take 1st based upon her 22:46 5K at Syracuse. The contest for 2nd between her teammates Cynthia Lucking and Terry Ozell should be closer but I am leaning toward Lucking. Ozell came in 5 seconds ahead of Lucking at the USATF 1 Mile Road Championship at the CRIM. But Lucking also ran a 49:07 10K at Dedham, suggesting she probably ran one of the two 5K's that make up that race in under 24:30; she should be able to break 24 in a 5K. Ozell tends to run her 5K's in the 24:30 to 25:30 range.
Williams, Lucking, Ozell.
Men. The top 4 look to be Hall of Famer Doug Bell and Atlanta teammates, Kirk Larson, Jerry Learned and Vasan Neovakul. Bell ran 18:30 at Syracuse and a 38:55 10K at Dedham. Larson ran 19:24 at Syracuse and a 41:02 at the Marin Memorial Day 10K. Learned ran 20:30 in Syracuse and 44:27 in Dedham, a very consistent performer over the years when healthy. Neovakul had an off day at Syracuse but still broke 22 minutes there; normally his 5K's are in the high 20 to mid 21 minute range. No one else is consistently under 22 for a 5K in recent months. It is good to see Roger Price back in this competition. He has been battling injuries for the last few years but even last year, when not at his best, he still managed a 20:54 at Syracuse. If he could manage that kind of running on Sunday, he could well wind up on the podium. This summer, however, his 5K's were slower. Should any of those falter, GVH's Coach, Mike Reif, and Bruce Kritzler could contend.
Bell, Larson, Learned.
Women. Kentucky's Terry Foody and South Carolina's Catherine Lempesis will contest this division. Lempesis seems to run her 5K's in the mid 20's and Foody's are in the low 30's. Barring unforeseen circumstances it should be Lempsis followed by Foody.
Lempesis, Foody.
Men. In this division we get to celebrate the return of another of our Lions, Hall of Famer Doug Goodhue, Age Division Runner of the Year for 8 consecutive years from 2007 to 2014. This is his first National Championship race since the 12K in Alexandria last year. He was feeling his oats enough to run the Volkslaufe 20K this summer and lower the US record by 2:24 to 1:29:28. Knowing how competitve Doug is, he was probably kicking himself that he didn't lower the record by another couple of minutes. That will be for next year as Goodhue is still in the process of rebuilding his fitness. He apparently had another setback after that race. His main motivation is to come out and run with the team. He had hoped to team up with Paul Carlin (that's me) for this race but I had a minor setback going into the Tulsa 15K and that race took a lot out of me. I will miss this race. We hope to team up for Club Cross in December. Jan Frisby, 2015 M70 Runner of the Year and holder of the 10K record, will also be present. His fitness has been off for most of this year but Doug Bell let me know that Frisby has been training well so we may see a rejuvenated Frisby in Tallahassee. The other runner in the mix is Przemek Nowicki, Shore AC's ace. Nowicki has not hit the heights that Goodhue and Frisby have hit but he has been a steady performer over the years. He was a minute and 20 seconds ahead of Frisby in Syracuse but Bell's note suggests it should be closer this time. Goodhue was, of course, a sub-20 minute 5K performer at Syracuse up through the 2014 race. Last year when he was already starting to deal with some injury issues, he ran 20:07. His 5K's this summer were close to what Nowicki ran in Syracuse. Handicapping is difficult in the circumstances. As Goodhue is untested in the past few months and has mainly a motivation to run with the team, I will go with Nowicki as the favorite, Frisby for 2nd and Goodhue for 3rd but it could well be reversed. Goodhue and Frisby are very competitive if they think they have a chance of winning. If any of those first three run into trouble, the Shore AC's Edward Smith and JL Seymore, along with Ann Arbor's David Cohen are poised to jump into the breach. They ran between 23:46 and 24:12 in Syracuse.
Nowicki, Frisby, Goodhue.
Men. If Atlanta's Ron Mastin were completely healthy, he would be the favorite. He ran 23:05 in Syracuse last year. But he has been battling injuries for much of the year and has definitely been in recovery mode, slowly rebuilding his fitness in the past few months. He ran 28:15 in Syracuse this year but with another month of training and strengthening under his belt, might well be capable of running a minute or two faster were the race to be held today. His teammate, David Turner, has been clocking his 5K's in the 26 to 27 minute range this year. Ann Arbor's Phillip Kroll prefers longer distances but is dropping down for this Cross Country race. He has run a 42:53 8K at Brea, a 2:04:41 Half Marathon at the Half Marathon Championships in San Diego and a 1:24:08 15K at Tulsa last week. His 8K is Age-Grade equivalent to a 26:10. The only question is whether he will have fully recovered from what many thought of as a draining 15K run last week. If so, I believe he is the favorite although if Mastin's recovery has accelerated, he will try to hang with Kroll and could deny him the victory.
Kroll, Mastin, Turner.
Women. Madeline Bost is the sole contender. She has been running her recent 5K's in the 37-38 minute range. This marks her return to national competition after taking a fall on a poorly lit trail that has apparently tripped up many runners of all ages. We welcome her back and applaud her pluck.
Bost.
Men. Atlanta's Jim Askew and Ann Arbor's Jon Desenberg will fight it out for the Gold Medal. Askew appears to have the edge. He runs his 5K's in the 26 minute range while Desenberg ran 31:54 at Syracuse. Askew also ran the USATF 10K Championship in Dedham at 58:58, 15 minutes better than Desenberg's effort in the 10K at Ann Arbor. Regardless of the outcome in this race, however, Desenberg leads in the Masters Grand Prix for this division and appears poised to put it out of reach when he finishes the race.
Askew, Desenberg.
It looks like some great competition on the fine-crushed shell--which will be a little more finely crushed after today's races. The cry, "Let's Crush it!" is even more apt than usual.
Clearly Atlanta TC is here in strength. There were times at Syracuse when the Headquarters Hotel seemed like Atlanta North; that feeling must be redoubled in Tallahassee this weekend.

Coin Cabinet
Permanent event at the Residenzschloss in Dresden, Germany
Coin Cabinet. Courtesy of Residenzschloss
In times of Pay Pal, credit cards and digital coins – so-called BitCoins – cash has increasingly vanished from everyday life. At the same time special events, such as the minting of the five-euro coin in 2016, meet with unimagined interest. The Dresden Münzkabinett brings together a collection of approximately 300,000 objects, ranging from antiquity to the present day.
Though the term "coin cabinet" seems to suggest only coins, the collection offers much more: Medals, banknotes, honorary decorations, bonds, minting technology, stamps and play money can be admired here. But the money shown here was often much more than a means of payment. In their day, coins also were a means of communication, a medium of dissemination for important political messages and thus part of visual politics. August the Strong, for example, commissioned his depiction on a medal as Hercules after he was crowned King of Poland, and when his son was born, he ordered a medal to be struck in his honour.
Today, 3,300 exhibition items presented in four rooms of the Dresden Residenzschloss (Royal Palace) explain the various aspects of money: To start out, visitors learn about the business and culture of making coins in Saxony, as the silver deposits in the Ore Mountains were once the foundation for the region's wealth. Then follows a sweeping chronological presentation of the history of the coin: from antiquity to the present, from the Greek drachma to the euro. The oldest coin on display is 2,500 years old and originates in Lydia, a kingdom that was located in today's Turkey.
The Residenzschloss, the original location of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, is still at the heart of the collections today. After all, a majority of items in Dresden's museum complex can be traced to the Kunstkammer of the Saxon electors and kings who once lived here: it was the permanent seat of the sovereigns and today it is considered one of the most significant Renaissance palaces in Germany.

Q: Consuming a web service in a Visual C++ 2008 DLL I need to call a third party Web Service from within a VC++ 2008 DLL.
The DLL is using MFC in a Shared DLL and it is not using ATL.
In solution explorer the Add Web Reference item is grayed.
any suggestion?
thank you in advance
stefano

A: Since calling a WS in C# is trivial, first create a dll in C# wrapping the service call and expose it via COM interop to your C++ code. Even if it seems tricky is the less troubles way to go.


You can add 3-4 cups of green tea in your day to day schedule or 3 caps of garcinia cambogia (15 minutes before every major meals). also u can use L-carnitine (3 g per day) as supplement too.
And also, cut down simple carb , simple sugar, saturated fat, a lot of sodium from your diet, take small and frequent rich protein meals in a whole day and make sure that you meet your daily requirement of protein according to your body weight.
You need to do training like once you hit the gym you nee to do warm uo exercises then weight training for 1 body part then at last you need to do cardio for 20 min relegiously and in your diet less fat,less salt,less simple carbs with appropriate amount of protein near about 81 gm according to your IBW .

Contemporary Opera & Music Theatre Showcase
Harrison Birtwistle's The Cure, performed at the Royal Opera House
Photography by Clive Barda / Royal Opera House
During summer 2015, the British Council and the Royal Opera House joined hands and extended a sunny welcome to 18 international opera directors, producers and festival programmers from as far afield as the USA and Canada and as close to home as Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Austria and Portugal. A similar number of their peers from the UK were invited to join what became an inspiring, thought-provoking and enjoyable two-day event to explore contemporary opera and music theatre, discussing and demonstrating inspiring developments and trends in the sector.
The UK is a rich and fertile ground for new opera; it enjoys a wealth of composers, companies, ensembles, festivals and independent artists actively choosing to work in contemporary opera. This project brought together influential international figures to share practice, challenges and explore ways in which, working together, they might support new opera and music theatre across a growing international collaborative network.
The London premiere of Harrison Birtwistle's new chamber opera, The Cure, opened the event and provided a focus for the symposium at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Studio. Harry gave an insightful interview with Tom Service at the Linbury in which he remarked on his pleasure to be given time to develop the work and also offered his perspective on composing for theatre and smaller ensembles under the title "A route to the main stage or a destination in its own right?" We include extracts from the interview below.

Harry on writing for small ensembles
"It's completely different … to work on this scale, I'm not saying it's superior ... but it's very very different. You feel very much part of it ...
"You're not so much in touch with a big piece, there's a mechanism ... you draw a double line [at the end of the score] then a sort of big factory takes over and you sort of lose it ... [with this piece] I knew I had things to say about it and that was important ...
"On the big stage there's no such thing as close up. You can't deal with it like cinema for instance ... but with this piece it's the difference between ... a string quartet playing a piece of music to a full orchestra. When I have pieces done with an orchestra, very rarely do [the musicians] come up to me [to talk during their breaks] ... they get up for their coffee [and] there's a sort of barrier … but with [a small ensemble] there's a question of detail … in every aspect of the piece it's completely different ... it's a different way of thinking ... that doesn't mean that it can't be ambitious [but] it's a different ambition.
"I used to sort of think that notation in music was something that if you got it right that you didn't need the composer [in rehearsals] … [I thought notation] was a message in a bottle, if you put everything in and then put it in the ocean it'll end up on some far distant shore and if somebody opened it they would know exactly [what to do]."

Harry on writing for theatre
"I come back to Peter Hall, he said: 'in theatre everything's possible.' You can tell the story of the world with one person, maybe two.
"[For example, in the opera Gawain] how was it possible to put a [pantomime] horse on stage that was noble? And how could you cut somebody's head off and it sings?
"[At] the forefront of my consciousness is what is the relationship between the instrumental music and the drama … how to make a relationship that is interdependent and dependent of it … the instrumental music has a logic of its own and at the same time it's music that is working with the drama ...
"Wagner invented the leitmotif … the way the music speaks in Wagner in with the leitmotif, there's no other piece of melodic invention other than the leitmotif and that brings a different sort of musical continuity … decisions are made about the continuity which you would never [normally] find ... In The Cure for instance, the harp only plays punctuation … because of that [it's] the instrument that's on the outside …
"I kept my distance for a long time [from Martin Duncan, the director] so that he's not got a nagging composer there. I said there are a lot of things in my music which are there, for better or for worse, there for a specific reason, related to the drama … if you don't use that moment I have to know that you know that that moment is there and that if you don't want to use that moment that's fine but to absolutely ignore it … is wrong. So there's a lot of things in the piece which I put in and it was directly related to the drama ...
"The wonderful thing about David [Harsent, librettist] is he does what I want ... but he does what he wants as well!"

Anti-immigrant sentiment bubbling up in Arizona and other states is recent, but the U.S. has a long history of white people saying who can and who can't be an American.
Four hundred years ago, when the first British settlers landed on the eastern shore of what has become the United States, other tribes of people had been living on the continent for 13,000-15,000 years. Although new fossil evidence is constantly being unearthed, anthropologists currently believe these multi-millennium inhabitants originated in Asia. Comparing features of today's Native Americans with Asians indeed yields some physical similarities, so we can probably say that the "original" Americans were Asian and not European.
Once the word got out that North America was full of land and natural resources, the floodgates of northern Europe opened and millions of immigrants streamed across the ocean, looking for new lives and new opportunities. Of course, these opportunities came at a cost to the native inhabitants. There were wars over resources, then treaties. Then broken treaties and more wars. Native American resistance was eventually broken and they were pushed onto reservations, areas often far removed from their homelands, areas often poor in natural resources. By new laws. White men's laws.
As the their new economy developed, European settlers required larger worker pools to harness the vast land, and they began kidnapping and importing African slaves to provide forced labor. To limit any civic participation of slave immigrants, state governments made laws which forbade Africans from owning property, intermarrying, voting, or going to school. After the U.S. Civil War freed the African slaves, necessary railway expansion pushed westward, aided by thousands of immigrant Chinese who were poorly paid and often hurt or killed in dangerous work settings. As the transcontinental railroad was completed, the thousands of Chinese were less useful and became seen as racial impurities, and the national Congress passed laws against Chinese immigration and other rights.
U.S. government history has many other ignoble moments: laws passed against Mormons and Catholics, laws limiting immigration from southern Europe, work practices forbidding Irish from applying for jobs, laws imprisoning citizens of Japanese descent and confiscating their property. Whenever there is prejudice in difficult times, the dominant culture will look for someone to blame, for someone to pick on.
The current group of immigrants to pick on comes from Mexico and Central America. From impoverished places, hundreds of thousands have slipped into the U.S. to find employment, often taking jobs in hot farm fields, in cold meat-processing plants, and in other dirty and dangerous workplaces. They provide labor for industries which want workers who will be cheap, work hard, and not complain. They bolster the U.S. economy, but they are not given the chance to become citizens.
The same racist beliefs and practices from the previous centuries still apply today. Angry voters in Arizona recently pushed for discriminatory laws against undocumented Latino workers. They have held angry rallies, calling for the eviction of the estimated 12 million immigrants who entered the United States without visas. They send armed vigilante groups (called "Minutemen" after early American militias who could be assembled in minutes to fight against the British during the War for Independence) to patrol the borders against people trying to cross the vast desert border.
The signs at anti-immigrant rallies tell undocumented workers to "Go Home." They claim that only English should be spoken here. Ironically, many of the signs are written by white Americans with bad spelling and bad grammar. Here are two.
My friend Jake Bowen and I recently created a cartoon which comments on this current wave of racist, anti-immigrant sentiment. We published it earlier this spring in the GVSU student newspaper, The Lanthorn. I include it here for you to see.
The irony with today's anti-immigrants is that they are themselves descendants of uninvited immigrants who came from countries lacking in opportunity a few hundred years before. I once heard a clever person quip, "Today's immigration problems can be traced back to the lack of a comprehensive immigration policy by the Native Americans." I hope we can use a deeper knowledge of history plus a little bit of humor to approach today's immigration challenges with more compassion and understanding than our sad ancestors did. Otherwise, we will just repeat more ugly stories of the past.
