| Sens. Lugar and Dodd call for U.S. Mission to the OAS to ask for discussion of ‘Venezuela Democracy and Human Rights’ Report |
| March 1, 2010
In response to a report issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) last week regarding violations of human rights and intimidation of citizens in Venezuela based on their political beliefs, U.S. Sens. Dick Lugar (R-IN) and Chris Dodd (D-CT) released the following joint statement.
?
“We are deeply disturbed by some of the report’s observations. One of the more alarming findings was that: ‘The Commission considers that the lack of independence and autonomy of the judiciary with respect to the political branches constitutes one of the weakest points of democracy in Venezuela, a situation that seriously hinders the free exercise of human rights in Venezuela. In the Commission’s judgment, it is this lack of independence that has allowed the use of the State’s punitive power in Venezuela to criminalize human rights defenders, judicialize peaceful social protest, and persecute political dissidents through the criminal system.’

| Dodd and Ensign Introduce Bill to Improve Afterschool Programs for Children |
| March 3, 2010
Senators Chris Dodd (D-CT) and John Ensign (R-NV) introduced legislation today to provide more children with safe, healthy, and academically-focused afterschool programs. The Improving 21st Century Community Learning Centers Act of 2010 will improve and expand access to afterschool programs for children across the country.
?
“When children have something productive to do in the hours between when they are let out of school and when their parents get home from work, they are more likely to avoid the traps of risky behavior, more likely to be physically healthy and academically successful, and more likely to fulfill their potential,” said Dodd. “Our legislation is a positive step towards offering all of our children the chance to spend their time outside of school safely and productively. It is a step towards making good on the most important promise: the one we make to our kids.”

| 10/04/2009 2 Hour Outage |
10/03/09 - 8:00 PM CDT
 At about 8 PM EDT on Saturday evening (10/03/09) our servers experienced an outage which lasted about two hours. The outage was due to a heavy load that caused the applications to run out of memory. Attempts to do soft restarts and then power cycles (we are remote, the servers are Enterprise class servers located in a data center) did not work.
I have opted to change the dynamic (changes often and on the fly) real time updating of content to a static content (updates are done less frequently). This has appreciably eased the load on the servers, increasing in better response and no impairment
This comes with a price
- Only one style is now available (you can't change the colors etc). The Select Style button will not work).
- You can no longer see how many users are online any more.
- The real time content (how many people have clicked on a link etc)
- Drop down select menus are no longer available.
- New News is available less frequently.
The good news is the static content will make the site friendly to more search engines.
I apologize for the outage.
