Hello and welcome!
In the coming days, the Holy Father will be making his visit to the Holy Land where he will meet with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.
We are praying that the Holy Father's visit to the holy land will further the cause of peace. He is trying very carefully to balance the different constituencies there, with his visits to the Palestinians, the Jewish community and with the Christians.
Earlier this week, Metropolitan Methodios of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston and I issued a joint letter about the upcoming trip to the Holy Land, and I want share that with you here:
A Joint Letter on the Meeting of
Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Jerusalem
May 21, 2014
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We give thanks to our Lord for the coming meeting of Pope Francis and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew which will take place on May 25-26, in the holy city of Jerusalem. We pray that this meeting in the sacred place of our Lord's Death and Resurrection will contribute to the restoration of full communion in faith and sacrament between our churches, and the salvation of the world.
This meeting marks the 50th anniversary since the historic encounter between Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras in 1964 in Jerusalem which opened a new period in the relationship between our churches. We began a process of reconciliation through prayer, theological dialogue and common witness. Since that time, Popes and Patriarchs have met together regularly. Our churches have established formal theological consultations in this country in 1965 and internationally in 1979. These dialogues have been nurtured by the prayers of the faithful and countless acts of mutual respect. As Popes and Patriarchs have affirmed, we have come to see ourselves as 'sister churches' who are responsible together for affirming the faith of the Apostles.
The flourishing relationship between clergy and laity of the Archdiocese of Boston and the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston has contributed to the process of reunion. As clergy and laity, we have prayed together, undertaken pilgrimages to Rome and Constantinople and have addressed critical issues facing our society. The brotherhood which has grown here is a treasured gift from above. As Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras said fifty years ago, "Having found one another again, we meet the Lord together."
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston and the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston will sponsor a conference on September 25 to mark the 50th anniversary of the historic encounter of 1964.
We thank God for the work He has begun between us and trust firmly in Him for its completion. In fidelity, we commit ourselves to continue working for His will.
In the words of Pope Paul VI, we call our faithful to "a love which, learning from the past, is ready to forgive, tends to believe more willingly in good than in evil, and is above all concerned to follow the pattern of its Divine Master and to allow itself to be drawn to Him and transformed by Him."
We ask our clergy and laity to continue to pray for the unity of the Church and the witness of the Gospel in our world.
Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, O.F.M. Cap. Metropolitan Methodios of Boston

On Thursday, I visited Catholic Charities' Laboure Center in South Boston with Meb Keflezighi, the men's winner of the 2014 Boston Marathon.
He gave a very beautiful testimony to the staff, guests and children at the center.
He said he grew up in Eritrea in a family of 10 children. Because of the war, his family fled the country. He said his father had to cross the desert to find his way to Europe to begin to bring the family out of the country. He spoke about leaving his home with only a few dollars, a flashlight and some matches to make fire to scare away the hyenas.
He also talked about the challenges that the family faced as they came to this country and the assistance they received from organizations like Catholic Charities. He said that although they needed assistance for a couple of years, all of his brothers and sisters went on to graduate college. Several of them are now professionals and, of course, he went on to win the Boston Marathon. Interestingly, he said he was going to stop running a year ago but he was in the marathon when the bombings took place and so he was determined to come back one more time.
After his talk we visited with the children who take part in the programs at the center. He was very good with them and the children were just precious.
He even ran a little race with them around the center.
That night, Meb served as the keynote speaker at Catholic Charities Annual Spring Celebration that was held at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library. I was very pleased to learn that the evening raised over $1.2 million to support the work of Catholic Charities.
They played this very nice video as an introduction to Meb's talk and I'd like to share it with you here:
During the evening, John Drew received Catholic Charities' Justice and Compassion Award.
He and his wife are very strong supporters of Catholic causes and John has served as the president of the board of directors of Cathedral High School, a trustee for Caritas Christi, and on the board of Catholic Charities. He was there with his children, who gave beautiful testimonies about their father.

Friday, I departed for Indiana to take part in events around the commencement exercises at Notre Dame.
Saturday, was the baccalaureate Mass at the Joyce Center, which was attended by almost 14,000 people. It was a very, very impressive sight.
The president of Notre Dame, Father John Jenkins gave the homily. Afterwards, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend addressed graduates.
With Bishop Rhoades and Father Jenkins
The bishop told a charming story about a graduate who had asked the bishop to meet him by the grotto after the commencement. He said he was going to propose to his girlfriend and wanted the bishop to be there to bless their engagement. But the Bishop asked, "What if she says no?" So the young man said, "Well then, you had better hide behind a bush or something and I'll signal you when it is time to come out." So Bishop Rhoades said he was available if there was anyone who wanted to propose to their girlfriend after graduation!
– – –
The following day was the graduation itself, which was held in Notre Dame Stadium.
The keynote was given by Rev. Raymond Hammond who, of course is from Boston. He gave a very inspiring talk, which is not surprising considering the inspiring life he has led.
He and his wife are both doctors who went to Harvard Medical School, but they gave up their medical practice to found a faith community in Roxbury at a time when the city was convulsed with violence.
He is a man with a very profound sense of mission and he has always been very close to the Catholic Church. He is just a wonderful leader in the Boston community and in a national scale, as well. I was very honored to be sharing the stage with him.
This year, the Laetare Medal was presented to Brown University biology professor Kenneth Miller who is actually from Seekonk, so there seemed to be some Massachusetts-related theme to the day.
They presented me with an honorary Doctorate of Law. So, I have been telling people that I am going to hang out my shingle and start charging $500 an hour for consulting!
The last graduation I attended at Notre Dame was in 1966, when my brother, Ted, graduated.
With my brother Ted in at Notre Dame. Behind us is the library with its famous "Touchdown Jesus"
At that time I was just a young friar. They gave an honorary doctorate that year to a Franciscan cardinal, Cardinal Ricketts, the Archbishop of Lima. The speaker that year was British economist Barbara Ward, the first woman to give the commencement address at Notre Dame (though, at that time, it was still an all-men's school.)
Among the O'Malley's who have graduated from Notre Dame are my uncle Bob, my cousin Rob, my nephew Michael and, of course, my brother. We also had a Holy Cross Brother in the family, Brother Joseph Moran, who died a couple years ago at Notre Dame. So, there has always been a strong connection in my family with Notre Dame, as is the case with many Irish families from the Midwest.

Monday night, we had one of our St. Andrews Dinners for young men discerning a vocation to the priesthood at St. Mary's Parish in Waltham. There was a very good crowd of about 50 men there.
We began with Vespers in the church and then had a dinner of Chinese food in the "Upper Room" — the second floor of the old carriage house.
We had witness talks by seminarians Americo Santos and Sinisa Ubiparipovic and Father Carlos Suarez. Afterwards, I addressed the group we had a question-and-answer session.
– – –
Tuesday, I was visited by Bishop Anphongso Huu Long Nguyen of the Diocese of Hung Hoa, Vietnam and Fr. Tuan Pham, OMI from St. Patrick in Lowell. Bishop Nguyen was in town and wanted to come for a visit.
We were able to speak together in French. The bishop asked if I was going to learn Vietnamese, but I told him that you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
We spoke about a number of different aspects of his diocese and the Church in Vietnam. One story that I found particularly interesting was about an American who had fought in the Vietnam War and went on to become a priest working in Vietnam. Later, he was expelled by the government and is now working in Thailand with Vietnamese refugees. He also spoke about an area in Vietnam where there were something like 30,000 conversions in one year.
They said that the church in Vietnam is being granted a little bit more freedom by the government but there still a great deal of regulation and control. For example, as I mentioned last week, the government strictly regulates the number of men allowed to enter the seminary each year.
There is a great faith among the Vietnamese people. For the last several years, about 10% of the newly ordained priests in United States are Asian and the majority of those are Vietnamese, even though they are very small percentage of the overall Catholic population. Some people have been calling them the "new Irish" because of the number of vocations that are coming out of their faith community. Although in Vietnam itself Catholics are a very small minority, however Catholics are a very large percentage among Vietnamese-Americans because many of the Catholics fled the country after the war.

That evening, I attended the ceremony for the awarding of the Medeiros Scholarships at Boston University. Father David Barnes, our chaplain at Boston University was there with us.
Twelve graduates of Catholic high schools received full scholarships to Boston University, altogether worth a total of $2 million: Carli DiMeo, St. Mary's High School; Grace Ferri, Austin Preparatory School; Eric Loehle, Bishop Fenwick High School; Richard McAllister, Archbishop Williams High School; Mary McCarthy, Academy of Notre Dame; Nicholas Neville, Archbishop Williams High School; Collette O'Connor, Fontbonne Academy; Sheila Orechia, Ursuline Academy; Rebekah Paxton, Academy of Notre Dame; David Souza, Saint John's Preparatory School; Michael Tomaino, Catholic Memorial High School; Kimberly Tran, Pope John XXIII Central High School
These scholarships have been awarded each year since the time of President Silber, and President Brown has continued this tradition.
With President Brown and the scholarship recipients
Among the recipients was Collette O'Connor, the daughter of Fran O'Connor who works with us here at the Pastoral Center.

Wednesday, we had our annual Priest Convocation at the Westin Hotel in Waltham. It is a wonderful day of priestly fraternity.
Each year we like to invite a different speaker to address the men on some aspect of priestly life. This year our speaker was Bishop Christopher Coyne, who of course is a former priest of the archdiocese.
In his remarks, Bishop Coyne spoke about the changes priests face as the Church is no longer at the heart of a Judeo-Christian culture, but is now on the periphery of a secular-relativistic culture.
He said we are in mission territory and explained how, in a way, we are reaching out to invite people to our faith, rather than simply trying to encourage people who are already with us in the faith.
He also spoke about the shift in the Church, as we move from being a body composed mostly of people of European descent living in the North, to being one composed of mostly Latinos in the South and the West of the country. For the priesthood, and Church leadership, that can be a radical change. For us, the prayer of the Church has a "Spanish accent", he said.
Following Bishop Coyne's address, we had a period of questions and answers and we had a very good dialogue with the men. Following that, we heard from our Vicar General, Bishop Peter Uglietto, and I gave the closing talk.
The priests always enjoy being together. It is a wonderful moment of priestly fraternity to gather before the summer.
– – –
And finally, tomorrow we will ordain nine men to the priesthood at the Cathedral the Holy Cross: Deacons Jeffrey Archer, Steven Clemence, Peter DeFazio, George Fitzsimmons, Kevin Hickey, Karlo Hocuscak, Mark Storey, Lawrence Tocci and Jiwon Yoon. It is a particular joy for us because this is one of the largest ordination classes in recent years.
I ask you to join with me in praying for these men as they begin their priestly ministries.
Until next week,
Cardinal Seán

great project. Easy to use, just doing what it should. Interface design looks a bit outdated although that is a minor issue. Unfortunately no new binary since 2 years and no support for mythtv >= 0.27 in released binaries.
Many thanks for this excellent piece of software. I used an old XP PC for my PVR running Next PVR. The last update hosed both the server and client. Been wanting to try Mythtv for a while so this seemed like a good time to do it :) Mythtv (Mythbuntu) installed fine for the server and the search was on for a windows frontend. Tried XBMC but it was too resource hungry for my modest PC/Laptops. Other software downloaded was buggy or just didn't work. Myth TV player is just perfect for my needs. I can now watch TV on any PC/laptop where I am working. Footprint is small and it uses very few resources (under 20% on an old PC with XP3000 processor). Love the border less window. looks very cool. ;). Live TV works fine. Can easily access recorded shows to watch later or delete what I have already watched if the disc is getting a bit full. Picture and sound quality is excellent. No stutter or pixelation. Only small bug is that the picture always seem to start in 4:3 format but clicking on the radio buttons restores 16:9
very good project, thanks!
The 0.7 version works great on Win7 with my MythTV 0.24. Good to have a frontend from a Windows Desktop too.
Fantastic. Works brilliantly 'out of the box'. Really looking forward to the LiveTV function being finished. I could watch live TV but the scrubber and skip forward/back buttons don't work and always skip back to where I started watching. Other than that. Loving it. ;)

Forget the first half. Certainly the Detroit Lions would like to do just that.
It was an embarrassing performance on both sides of the ball.
When the Lions� defense came out onto the field in Cleveland in the second half, it was all business.
When Matthew Stafford spiked the ball after a scramble early in the third, the tide turned.
With a comeback 31-17 win over the Browns, the Lions (4-2) remain tied for first in the NFC North with the Chicago Bears. Green Bay is gaining at 3-2, while the Vikings are mostly done at 1-4.
It was a game the Lions needed to win against the Browns (3-3) who had won three straight. They were down 17-7 at halftime and it didn�t look good.
A loss here could have sent the Lions reeling. We�ve been down that road before. It�s rugged, bumpy and ends in disaster.
On Sunday it was different.
Here are three reasons the Lions came back to beat the Browns:
1. Stafford�s spike. It was on a third-and-6 scramble on the Lions� first possession of the third quarter. He picked up seven yards and was slapped with a penalty for delay of game for spiking the ball. It was worth it. He got his offense fired up and five plays later Reggie Bush (78 rushing, 57 receiving yards) scampered 18 yards into the end zone to give the Lions a 17-14 lead.
That spike was the exclamation point from a quarterback who had seen quite enough drops and miscues.
�It was time to go,�� Stafford told reporters afterward.
From that point on the Lions offense scored 24 points. Stafford finished 25-43 for 248 yards, four touchdowns and an interception.
Calvin Johnson had just three catches for 25 yards but his presence alone lifted the offense.
2. The Lions� defense should have dominated from the get-go, but they allowed 250 yards (115 rushing) in the first half.
They slammed the door in the second half, allowing just 11 more rushing yards.
Linebacker DeAndre Levy, who had a team-high seven tackles, continued his stand-out season by intercepting Brandon Weeden twice. The second one was in the fourth quarter when the Lions were hanging onto a seven-point lead and the Browns were making their way down the field. Timing? Perfect.
That makes four interceptions for Levy in the first six games while he had just five picks in his first four seasons.
Willie Young and rookie Devin Taylor sacked Weeden who had been sacked five times by the Buffalo Bills the week before, but skated through the first half unscathed.
3. His name is Joe Fauria, but you can call him Big Joe. All he does is score touchdowns. The 6-foot-7 rookie tight end caught three passes on Sunday and all three were scores.
It was the most touchdowns in a game by a tight end for the Lions since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
Fauria hadn�t caught a pass in the past two games, but offensive coordinator Scott LInehan said Fauria would be more involved on Sunday with Tony Scheffler out with a concussion.
Linehan just wasn�t specific about turning Fauria into a touchdown machine.
If height was the only answer, every team would have a 6-foot-7 tight end.
Something�s special about Fauria who remarkably was undrafted out of UCLA where he had a dozen touchdown catches in his senior season.
Fauria has seven catches this season and four of them are touchdowns.
A hat tip to general manager Martin Mayhew for signing Fauria who has proven his worth since rookie camp.
Now he�s showing everyone else and doing it with a flair with his celebration dances.
Fauria, who has improved on his blocking, is now going to have to expand his dance repertoire.

The Hawks are currently in position to have four selections – two first- and second-round picks – at the NBA Draft this June. With six games remaining in the regular season, the Hawks are likely to get an extra pick in each round via the Rockets as part of separate deals. The Rockets have not clinched a playoff berth but currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference. The have a three game lead over the Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot and a 3-1/2 game lead over the Jazz for ninth. If the Rockets make the playoffs, the Hawks will get their first-round pick in 2013. The selection, which is top-14 protected, would come from the Nets as part of the Joe Johnson trade. Should the Hawks not get the pick this year, it is top-14 protected from 2014-16. If the Hawks don't receive a first-round pick from the Nets, via the Rockets, by 2016 then the Hawks will receive the Rockets second-round pick and cash in 2017. The Hawks are also in position to get the Rockets' second-round pick, which is top-40 protected, that comes from a July 14, 2009 trade that sent David Anderson to Houston. The NBA draft will be held June 27. The Hawks could use the draft picks in a variety of ways, including trade before or after the selection process.

BELOIT (WIFR) -- On Wednesday, April 24, 2013 officials from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture confirmed that the emerald ash borer (EAB) was found in Beloit. Mike Ferger, Forestry Operations Supervisor said the infested tree was located on LaSalle Street and was identified by the city's forestry crew during a scheduled removal of the tree. The crew observed 1/8 inch wide D-shaped holes, wood pecker damage and split bark.
As a reminder, Rock County is under quarantine for the EAB. Residents are encouraged to continue to follow the quarantine guidelines as set by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection. Materials regulated under Wisconsin's EAB quarantine include all hardwood firewood; ash products such as timber, pallets, mulch and trimmings; and ash nursery stock. Businesses that deal with these products can apply for a variety of certificates or exemptions that are not available to the general public.
In addition to the quarantine in Rock County, the following counties also remain regulated: Brown, Crawford, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Trempeauleau, Vernon, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha. Updates to this list can be found at, www.emeraldashborer.wi.gov/.
The emerald ash borer was initially discovered near Detroit, Michigan in 2002. It was likely transported to North America accidently in wooden shipping crates from China. The EAB has destroyed millions of ash trees since being detected in North America. It is the beetle's larvae that actually kill the host ash tree by tunneling through the soft wood just under the bark that supplies the tree with food and water. Large, healthy trees can succumb to EAB within three to five years.
Beloit residents concerned about the health of their ash trees should consult a local professional arborist, tree care specialist or call the Department of Public Works at (608) 364-2929. There are a variety of treatments available for homeowners with varying levels of efficacy that can be found in local garden centers and hardware stores. Professionals can help assess the status of a tree and offer advice on whether it is worth considering treatments.
For additional information about emerald ash borer please visit the Wisconsin EAB Website at www.emeraldashborer.wi.gov or the City of Beloit's website, http://bit.ly/11GLbSe.

The answer is blowing in the wind
Morten Albaek, chief marketing officer at wind power giant Vestas, wants to create a new energy enlightenment period.
FAIRYTALES by Hans Christian Andersen didn't get much of a telling in the childhood home of Morten Albaek.
''I had a dad who refused to entertain me when I was a kid by reading me children's books,'' says the global head of marketing for Vestas Wind Systems, the Danish company that's built one-quarter of the world's wind turbines.
''He strongly believed that it was a child's right only to listen to adults that spoke to them with passion and concentration … he would never read aloud to me so that I could sleep.''
Albaek snr instead preferred the texts of Descartes, Kant and Hegel for his eight year-old son who says he was ''positively brainwashed'' to believe ''that sensibility does exist and progress can and will happen'', rather than lolled into slumber.
Sleep deprivation and idealism seem appropriate topics. When we meet in Sydney, Albaek, 37, is clutching a bottle of Coke and battling jetlag after a 26-hour flight from Europe.
Our chat and subsequent email exchange rotate between big ideas and the big challenges facing Vestas.
Albaek was in Australia to promote the Vestas-backed Energy Transparency campaign aimed at encouraging companies to reveal the proportion of renewable energy they use. A separate study commissioned by the company found Australian consumers prefer renewable energy over fossil fuels 74 per cent to 5.6 per cent - almost precisely the inverse of reality.
An optimist, Albaek reckons consumers, armed with appropriate information, will favour brands produced using more renewable energy even if they cost more. ''When you provide consumers with that transparency, they will act sensibly,'' he said. ''They will choose products that help the planet sustain, not fall apart.''
Hopes dashed
That optimism, to be sure, is regularly tested.
Soon after joining Vestas in 2009 from the world of banking, Albaek and fellow Danes witnessed firsthand the collapse of the Copenhagen talks to secure a global agreement to combat climate change through cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
Hopes had been built up that ''once and for all'' the world would act on global warming by changing the energy mix and getting ''much more renewable energy into the global grid fast,'' he said. ''So it was of course a disappointment that [the talks] became a flop instead of nirvana for renewable energy.''
With another climate gathering due to start next week in Doha, Qatar, Albaek doesn't hold out much hope for major progress. ''Our expectations are modest. We don't expect Doha to be a groundbreaking summit.''
Albaek's and Vestas's response to the failure at Copenhagen, was to redouble efforts to get citizens as consumers to push governments to switch from fossil fuel-based energy sources.
One result was the creation by Albaek of ''WindMadeTM'', the world's first global consumer label for a single energy source and the only consumer label officially endorsed by the United Nations. Another was the launch, with Bloomberg New Energy Finance, of the Corporate Renewable Energy Index, the first gauge of the energy sources used by some of the world's largest firms.
Albaek is unabashed about the self-interest involved.
''Wind is the most developed, mature and deployed renewable energy that we have in the world and, furthermore, Vestas is the world leader in wind energy,'' he said. ''It's logical that Vestas [created] WindMade and not SolarMade.''
He concedes, though, the trademark will eventually evolve into ''CleanMade'' or a similar tag to embrace all renewable energy sources. Turbines are becoming more efficient, with generation costs falling a quarter for onshore wind farms since 2008, according to Bloomberg. Solar photovoltaic prices are tumbling even faster, diving 70 per cent over the same period.
Despite the technology gains, Vestas is under siege. Its shares, now worth about 5 billion Danish krone ($830 million), are down about 96 per cent from their mid-2008 peak.
Fierce competition
Intense competition, particularly from China's Sinovel and Goldwind, is eroding profitability, fanning speculation Vestas will be forced to sell shares or secure a partner, such as Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Vestas, which last year held about 20 per cent of the market outside China but only 13 per cent when it is included, will shed almost a third of its staff over two years in a bid to return to profit. ''Even though the global wind industry is going through a crisis, you haven't heard anybody say they want to leave it,'' Albaek said. ''Everybody knows this business is here to stay, it's going to grow.''
Australia, already among the top 10 markets, may see much of that expansion. Provided there's sufficient community support for wind farms and the government doesn't amend its current target for renewable energy (20 per cent by 2020), Australia's 2.5 gigawatts of wind power capacity is forecast to grow by an average of 1 GW annually for the rest of the decade.
Albaek is philosophical about the firm's struggles, literally.
His first book, Generation f***ed up? took a dim view of Danish society circa 2005, while Encounters, in 2008, examined the discrepancy between one's ideals and actions, not least when it comes to tackling climate change.
His third book, due out next year with the working title of Mean Management, will develop what Albaek calls ''capitalistic humanism''.
Capitalistic humanist firms attempt to mitigate the market's incessant demand to earn ''as much money as fast as possible'' by ''developing and selling products that sustain and improve the conditions for human beings'', he said.
''If you want to create a mean and efficient commercial machine, you need to ensure that all your employees not only know what they have to do, but as well find what they do meaningful, not only professionally but also existentially,'' he said.
While employees facing the chop may find the notion less meaningful than mean, Albaek insists one's employment makes a difference. Turning around a big tobacco company, for instance, ''would enable it to sell more cigarettes, thus contributing to killing people''.
Childhood memories, it seems, haven't faded.
''My idealism is rooted in a firm belief that mankind is born sensible and that we just need to create a new enlightenment period,'' he muses.
''It has been close to 400 years since we had the last one so I think it's time for the next one.''

Imagining India: Thomas Friedman in conversation with Nandan Nilekani

Also available on:
In his book, Imaging India, Indian entrepreneur Nandan Nilekani traces the central ideas that shaped the country's past and present and asks the key question of the future of India and its role as a global citizen and emerging economic giant: How will India as a global power avoid the mistakes of earlier development models? Its future rests on more than simply economic growth; it also depends on reform and innovation in all sectors of public life.
Author and New York Times journalist Thomas Friedman says, Seattle has Bill. Bangalore has Nandan. . . . What makes Nilekani unique? For me it comes down to one phrase: great explainer. . . . It was his insight that the global playing field was being "leveled" by technology that inspired me to write the book The World Is Flat.?
Thomas Friedman, author and journalist, is a three-time Pulitzer Prize winner. His Foreign Affairs column appears every Wednesday and Sunday in The New York Times. Friedman is the author of From Beirut to Jerusalem, The Lexus and the Olive Tree: Understanding Globalization, Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11, The World Is Flat, and most recently, Hot, Flat and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How it Can Renew America. Friedman was named one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report.
Nandan Nilekani is the Co-Chairman of Infosys Technologies Limited. He is the recipient of several awards, including the prestigious Joseph Schumpeter prize for innovative services in economy, economic sciences and politics. Nilekani was listed as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2006 and was named Forbes Businessman of the Year for Asia in 2007. Nilekani received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay, India.

Advanced Refining Technologies (ART) signed an agreement with Chevron Lummus Global (CLG) regarding hydrocracking and lubes hydroprocessing catalysts, the companies confirmed on Friday.Under this agreement, ART will have the exclusive right to sell CLG's hydrocracking and lubes hydroprocessing catalysts to CLG's licensees and other petroleum refiners for unit refills. The agreement will streamline hydroprocessing catalyst supply and improve technical service for refining customers by establishing ART as the single point of contact for all their hydroprocessing catalyst needs, according to the companies.
ART is a joint venture between subsidiaries of WR Grace and Chevron, while CLG is a joint venture between a subsidiary of Chevron and CB&Is Lummus Technology group.
"We are pleased to add hydrocracking and lubes hydroprocessing catalysts to our current product portfolio," said Scott Purnell, managing director of ART."CLG's ISOCRACKING, ISOTREATING, ISODEWAXING, and ISOFINISHING catalysts are proven products that will help our refining customers improve quality and yield," he added. "With this new agreement, all of our customers hydroprocessing catalyst needs can be provided through a single point of contact."Under the deal, ART will be the global provider for hydrocracking and lubes hydroprocessing catalysts, while CLG will continue to focus on its world-class technology development, licensing, design, and revamp of hydrocracking, lubricant base oil, resid hydrotreating, and resid hydrocracking plants globally. Both ART and CLG customers will continue to have access to the depth of Chevron technical service and hydroprocessing operating expertise, the companies said.
"We continually invest to provide our licensees with world-class process technology, catalysts and support services," said Leon de Bruyn, managing director of Chevron Lummus. "This agreement represents a unique combination of ART's well-established portfolio of hydrotreating catalysts, extensive sales network and manufacturing expertise, together with our hydrocracking and lubes hydroprocessing catalyst technologies, and engineering and technical know-how. It will allow our customers to receive broader service and more advanced catalyst materials, and will improve the competitiveness and profitability of their refineries.

I'm selling a little used GoPro HD with 2 housings and lots of accessories. It includes a GoPro HD camera with the LCD backpack. It has the BackScatter housing with glass port and color correction filter for UW use and the original GoPro housing for topside use. It has several different accessory backs and mounts including a 1/4-20 tripod mount. Also included is all original documentation and the USB cable. Does not include an SD card, I'm using in on another camera. I've not used the system much at all, so everything is in nice shape. I had it mounted on my DSLR for a few dives using the tripod mount, but I don't have many wide angle subjects, so I took it off. US$350.00 plus actual shipping costs.

I assume a VPS license will not run on a system with 4GB RAM. The license was purchased and installed through a 3rd party.) I would like to upgrade to an Ultra VPS, but I can't get 4.2.2 to upgrade. What is my best course to upgrade my current license to an Ultra VPS. I am also considering a 2-CPU license for the caching. Can I install a trial 2-CPU license over the current setup?

Lipscomb volleyball junior Caitlin "Dot" Dotson wraps up the mission trip in Brazil.
By Caitlin "Dot" Dotson
I love words, just like I love to fly. You can paint a picture with words alone; their power is amazing. As pen hits paper, explosions of color and ideas come to life. Sometimes so many words start to run through my mind that I cannot get them all out in time or in an organized manner.
A sea of jumbled thoughts floods the thousands of rivers running through my head in an effort to focus my thought process and convey my mental images. Adjectives that essentially have the same meaning can contain slightly different connotations that will completely alter the message being delivered. These words can evoke emotions and ignite dreams. They described and give life to stories.
Our 10-day trip to Brazil was filled with adjectives from every end of the spectrum- from fear to contentment. One of the best things about words is that they allow everyone to paint their own unique picture; elaborate colors or black and white- whatever suits you. If well constructed, words can produce a movie in our imagination.
This trip we have been asked to journal and "snap chat," or draw a picture from the day that has stuck in our mind. This exercise is to ensure that we remember this trip in more than just pictures, but in experiences as well. Our words and drawings showcase our own individual stories and growths from our Brazilian excursion.
Although, we all saw the same things, we all colored them differently. Our snap chats are filled with portraits of gaining courage and strength, opening up, or reawakening a part of ourselves that we had let lay dormant for too long.
One thing we all shared was clarity. As the path unfolded we hit a few bumps but there were reasons for everything and everyone on this trip. It was as if this trip was like learning a new word; we dove into something unknown and came out with a new understanding and a bigger vocabulary.
God brought us all together- a unique group- for one last adventure. I think the chief purpose was to open us and rekindle our hearts for one another and others.
In Rio, it was evident that even the blind could see the natural beauty here. By opening our eyes we saw beauty in the most unlikely places, including the graffiti that covers almost every square inch of Rio. We found ourselves flabbergasted by the strange artworks that plaster the walls, there's a story behind it and we all tried our best to unearth its origins by studying the intricate designs.
When our eyes had been opened we were stunned. Some of us were so stunned that they decided to accept God; Kaycee, Molly and Brittnay all were baptized in tropical waters after experiencing the supernatural beauty and grace of our mission trip.
Once our eyes were opened our hearts quickly followed. We were able to accept those surrounding us into our arms. It was as if by stretching out our hands to show the love we had we pulled a drawstring to unlock our hearts to all those we touched without hesitation.
This fleeting passion captured and convicted us all the while boggling our minds. How could we feel such love for so many people we barely know and they feel the same for us?
People are the nouns of language- essential for any sentence or story. Not always flashy and sometimes easily forgotten, but the most important element. When we experienced some trouble the pastor from the church we had worked with days earlier drove two hours to comfort us and friends we had met only a day before rode a bus for three hours to watch us play.
As we tried to wrap ourselves around the changes we felt we continuously opened ourselves to new things. We made the decision to immerse ourselves in them and their culture, even if that meant eating chicken hearts. The language did not matter, we assumed of own language of LUV and even the deaf could understand that.
The small moments full of laughter that we spent in the vans were the glue that sealed a new bond in our already tight knit group and allowed us to release ourselves fully to each other. We think big thoughts and dream big dreams but learned to relish the small pleasures- each other's company and unbridled laughter.
A team full of best friends, who knows each other so well on the court, learned of unknown aspirations, fears and heart ache of the girls we have come to know as family. Newly opened portals allowed glimpses into inner persons, moving our team dynamic to a new more personal level. The only way that this trip could have taken all the unforeseen twists and turns talked about in the previous blogs and still be such a complete success is Divine Intervention, in my very verbose book.
Symbolically, we ended our trip in clouds. In my first blog, I told you how I feel about flying and clouds- a rebirth, a chance to begin anew.
We spent two days surrounded by clouds on the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain and at the feet of Christ the Redeemer. We have all been changed in some way- we all do have new luggage and though our bags may be lighter (because we gave away everything from t-shirts to volleyball kneepads), we are returning more full than ever. During this mission trip- we were verbs; we came to do and to serve and we did.
I still love words and their meanings; so to sum this trip up, let's have a little play on them. Rio de Janeiro was awesome- we are in awe of the awful and the awe-full elements of the country and its peoples.
We found faith in those who had strong convictions and confidence in their beliefs and drew inspiration from each other, leaving us full of awe.
We found wonder in the awful, living of the favellas and the conditions of the school building; they showcase such potential and love but so many less reasons to believe. Yes, this trip was awesome. As our hourglass ends here a new journey begins. This one may not be filled with the beautiful sand of the Brazilian beaches, we do not know where it will take us- but isn't that the part of the fun?
Okay, one last word play: Love in Rio. Lovin' Rio. LUV in Rio.

ROME — Former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi praised Benito Mussolini for ''having done good'' despite the Fascist dictator's anti-Jewish laws, immediately sparking expressions of outrage as Europe on Sunday held Holocaust remembrances.
Berlusconi also defended Mussolini for allying himself with Hitler, saying he probably reasoned that it would be better to be on the winning side.
The media mogul, whose conservative forces are polling second in voter surveys ahead of next month's election, spoke to reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony in Milan to commemorate the Holocaust.
Holocaust survivors, politicians, religious leaders, and others marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day. A memorial service was held at Auschwitz-Birkenau, the death camp where Hitler's Germany killed at least 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, in southern Poland. In Warsaw, prayers were said at a monument to the fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943. At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI said humanity must always be on guard against murderous racism.
In 1938, before the outbreak of World War II, Mussolini's regime passed the so-called racial laws barring Jews from Italy's universities and many professions, among other bans. More than 7,000 Jews were deported under the regime, and nearly 6,000 of them were killed.
Berlusconi said that ''the racial laws are the worst fault of Mussolini, who, in so many other aspects, did good.''
He later issued a statement saying he regretted that he didn't make clear that his historical analyses ''are always based on condemnation of dictatorships,'' the Italian news agency LaPresse reported.

I wanted to see what kind of response I get from these decals before I get a bunch printed up. I have traced out a very clean vector version to have screen printed and contour cut out of a very nice decal stock. I think they will look even better than the originals.

I'd be into getting one but only if it were pretty small. something like 4-6 inches tall that could fit on a rear window, somewhere inside the cab, or on the rear bumper. The brat looks pretty obnoxious already with the lettering and stripes, and I think a huge decal would be too much for me.

Reviewed By Edward V (Minden, LA) Reviewed for a 2011 Nissan Altima —5/15/2012 7:26 PM
Overall a very good product! My work vehicle is a Nissan Altima 2011, and I had to place a 4 inch foam cushion under the unit to raise it up to a workable level so that slide out unit does not hit console and shift. The non-skid surface works very well but is somewhat fragile. The rubber feet on my laptop have already caused small nicks in the material. Have to be very careful not to reposition laptop on surface without picking it up completely. Some reviews have complained about slide out unit not locking in place - this has been corrected and it does lock in place while retracted. Unit is very easy to install (even with the foam cushion under)and takes less than a minute to install. Would definitely recommend if you work from car!

Fiona Bruce and expert Philip Mould explore the history of three paintings bequeathed to the National Museum of Wales when their owner died in 1951. It was always believed the pieces were by landscape artist J.M.W. Turner, but only months after the museum took ownership, experts branded them fakes and unfit to hang on the gallery walls. Now Philip sets out to prove their authenticity once and for all. And, as reported in the New York Times on Sept. 24, 2012, they succeed!

In contrast to the current phrase du jour ("I don't like 'dat"), Owen has also started using another new favorite phrase. "I was askin' for ____".
Sometimes he uses it very appropriately. In the morning when we talk about what color his vitamin will be (for those who missed my post about that, he ADORES taking his vitamins and takes great pleasure in dreaming of what color he will get each morning), he always wishes for red. Red is (as of late) his favorite color. When he sees red, says, "Red! Rojo! Just like I like!". Anyway, when he does actually get a red vitamin, he always beams and says, "I was ASKIN' for red, Mommy!". Like he made it happen simply by wishin' and hopin' and "askin' ".
Similarly, in the morning when we drop him off at daycare we'll often talk about which teachers might be there. He has one teacher who he adores, far more than the others. Whenever she is there, he runs in the room and shouts, "I was askin' for you!".
Other times he pulls this phrase out in ways that make me laugh out loud. The other day at the grocery store he said in his loudest voice, "Mommy! Get broccoli! I was askin' for broccoli!". He had never really asked for broccoli prior to that moment, but hey, who am I to deny the kid his broccoli?!
I like this phrase so much more than "I don't like dat". But that one is still in regular rotation as well. In fact, Owen has recently started testing out what happens when we extends "I don't like…" to people. Ahem. Not so nice. When I was telling Owen we were going over to a new friend's house for a playdate, the first words out of his mouth were, "I don't like him". "You don't KNOW him, buddy! How can you not like him?".
My knee-jerk reaction to hearing him say "I don't like so-and-so" is to say, "Yes, you do" or "We don't say that about people". However, even as I say those words, I know it's not appropriate for me to tell him what/who he does and doesn't like. There are things and people that all of us don't like, and that's ok. I don't want to send the unrealistic message that you have to like everyone, or everything. But I do feel it's important to let him know that it hurts people's feelings when you say that out loud. Again with the whole "he has to learn to use his filter" lesson.
Owen has actually said it to Benjamin a few times recently (a la our old "No Daddy" issue) and I don't really know how to react. I've told him that hurts Daddy's feelings. I've told him it's not a nice thing to say. He immediately turns sad and furrows his brow or even cry/whines and offers a hug and says, "Are you ok?". He is deeply empathetic and immediately remorseful. But still, the "I don't like you"s continue.
I am certain, as with pretty much everything else, this is a phase. It's a test, to see what happens when he says it. It's a way to him to express his emotions. But, like his biting/pushing phase, it's not very nice. And it makes me, as his mother, feel guilty and embarrassed when he shouts that he doesn't like someone right in front of their face. Like I'm raising a little bully. Like I am failing at teaching him how important it is to treat people kindly.
Thoughts on kids expressing that they don't like someone, or something? How do you react?

Hello all,
I was curious if anyone knew of a solid resource for web hosting information, books, etc. It's funny, I can design, build, and deploy just about anything in CSS, XHTML, and some php and mysql. I'm embarrassed to say that it's all deployed on shared hosting services where most of the work is done for me. So, to be more well rounded , I would like to educate myself further on these services and how they work. Any ideas for resources to read would be a tremendous help! Thanks for the help!

Stop! Hibari-Kun
how come no topic on that anime? and how come no one subbed it?
it's available on dvd-rip and looks pretty interesting even if it's old but no one ever tried subbing it which is sad and strange.

Well, that DVD-rip is of low quality; the art is old and thus scares a lot of people; the show is 35 episodes and thus requires dedication not present in most modern subbers;and the whole idea of sub-ecchi humorous show about a crossdressing boy is quite niche.

Stop! Hibari-kun!
Stop! Hibari-kun! is a show that aired from 1983-84 produced by Toei. The show is about a guy named Kousaka who's mom died at the start of the show. She sends him to live with a former lover, who Kousaka quickly realizes is a yakuza boss (and turbo-violent to boot.) Initially, he wants to get the fuck out of this yakuza looney-bin, but then he sees one of the boss' daughters and falls in love at first sight. As it turns out, the boss has 3 great daughters of different ages, but the one who Kousaka fell in love with is the 4th - the boss' son! Kousaka is devastated, but the trap, Hibari-kun, seems intent to seduce Kousaka!
Hibari-kun is instantly comparable to Maria Holic, both in having a trap and in that he is kind of making things miserable for the main character. The obvious difference being that this main character is male and he's pretty manly, too, I suppose. The comedy in this show is pretty over-the-top. The yakuza boss will draw weapons and blow shit up at slightest provocation and there's one scene where he needs his meds and has this extremely trippy vision. The antics with Hibari are fun and he is definitely a totally gorgeous trap to the point that it's painful.
Only 1 episode out of the 35 existing has been subbed (as far as I can tell). The show was released on Japanese DVD in 03 and has 35 episodes, all of which seem to be available on youtube raw. The first ep was subbed by a single kind gentleman who does quite a nice job, even using youtube annotations to fix his mistakes, which I thought was cool. I want to spread attention of this show to hopefully provoke subs.

Oh look.. you have a picture in your opening post!
The synopsis definitely reads interesting. I know I will pick this show up for a watch if there are more episodes subbed out there. The raw shouldn't be too difficult to get with much better quality than youtube if one is looking to sub it.

In 2003 - 2004, he lived up to his potential by securing Fourth overall. In the 2004 - 2005 season, he was slated to compete for the championship, but incurred an injury that had him sitting out virtually all of 2005.

Ohio State Hostage Video: Free The Shirt!
However, to Michigan fans, the real story is the safety of the Michigan t-shirt being tortured and hung upside down on the wall in the background...
Thus, we implore the savages behind this vile piece of propaganda to release the shirt immediately, without condition. For we will not rest again until Mr. Tee is back on the back of a Michigan fan, his cottony embrace keeping said fan properly clothed as he or she cheers while watching Denard Robinson race toward the endzone...only to curse like a sailor moments later as a long TD pass floats over the heads over our confused secondary.
Of course, since we have no direct contact with any of the godless heathens in Columbus, we may have to work through diplomatic channels at Northwestern (they really are like the Swiss of college football, aren't they? I mean, who the hell dislikes Northwestern?). Failing that, we will be forced to take direct action inside your stadium come November with our football team (assuming of course they don't suck giant ass again the second half of the season).
We will not forget you, oh brave Michigan tee! Our motto here at the MZone is "Leave No 'M' Behind!' (Right after, "Hey, free beer!").
You have been warned. Free The Shirt!
Michigan Tee Held Hostage: Day 1
UPDATE: A rescue mission organized by MZone reader Mikoyan may already be in the works.

I'm not so worried about the shirt, but the young man featured in the video needs to be exorcised of the Lou Holtz demon. And for me, any demon that makes someone talk like they have a lollipop in his mouth is particularly insidious.

Let's see...considering that a portion of every piece of Michigan merchandise sold goes back to Michigan in the form of royalties, don't we want to incourage OSU fans to buy MORE shirts and send even more money to Michigan? It would be a noble sacrifice by the shirts!

I lost the IELTS class, still have another G/E class once a week. What comes out of this is a repeat of the whole sneaky, slimy crap that schools used to pull on teachers in the late 90's, and off the beaten path ones pull now. As far as I was aware, there was no problem with the class, my teaching or anything else; thus, I have no I idea what motivated DELL'S move. It's annoying, to lose a well paid IELTS class; it's even more annoying when a local member of staff- with whom I thought I'd had a good working relationship- lies to you through her back teeth, and then goes on the defensive when she's wrong footed. Besides, on the phone, I made the point that if I hadn't of found out from the ex student that I'd lost my job, I could've been waiting around for the 'phantom' class to start, rather than looking for other work.
As it is, I've managed to get more classes at WELLS to compensate for the loss, and I agree, they've always been fine with me and the others in Kaohsiung. So I still say, be careful in your dealings with DELL Kaohsiung

Hi all, I hope there is someone out there that can answer my question! I found this site during a search of our problem, it seems there are some folks here who are quite knowledgeable so I'm hopeful.
We bought a Quadrafire Classic Bay fireplace insert about 4 years ago. We turned it on a few days ago and it worked like it's supposed to but was in need of a good cleaning. Today my husband cleaned it thoroughly. I worked all afternoon so I have no idea how it ran throughout the day but this evening, when it came on, it started up as usual and ran fine up to a point. About 10 minutes after the convection fan kicked on, it kicked back off. The pellets continued to feed, the fire continued to burn and the exhaust fan continued to work. After a few minutes the convection fan came back on. It worked for a while and then kicked off again. It cycled like that until the thermostat clicked off and the stove shut down. What could be causing the convection fan to shut off periodically?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Ah, summer.
OK, so it's still May, but Memorial Day is behind us and there have been several solid shorts-appropriate warm days. I don't know about you, but I spent a very long, very snowy, very cold winter dreaming about this.
If you have recently graduated, or you are about to graduate, congratulations and good luck to you. If you are young and have spent your entire life in school, and now you are ready for your grown-up life to begin, I have to warn you it's not always all it's cracked up to be. Life as an adult can be great – it really can – but a lot of graduates have this idea that once their diploma is in hand, everything else will fall into place.
That doesn't always happen. In fact, it rarely does.
But don't get discouraged. Find something you love, focus on it, and – here's the key – take concrete steps toward making it happen, and you can be great.
It seems a little unreal to be facing summer days at last. Summer has a tendency to get away from me. I'm excited for it to arrive, brimming with things I want to see and do before it's over. But in the day-to-day, the demands of everyday life don't slacken, and it's easy to say "not tonight," "maybe later," until, whoosh, next thing you know there's a nip in the air.
As I tiptoe toward middle age, I find years having an uncanny tendency to do the same thing.
So, in an effort to make sure I actually get out and do things this summer, I'm making a miniature bucket list – a sand pail list, if you will:
• I want to take my kids to the zoo. The older one has already begun asking about this. The younger one went as a baby, but it went right over his head; it will be a lot more fun to take him now that he knows what an elephant is.
• I want to sit around a fire pit or a patio table – or both – with family members I grew up with, swapping stories and learning new things about my family's past and present. Even better if there are boxes of old pictures involved.
• I want to get away with my husband for a weekend and do grown-up things like drink wine and visit historical sites and not hear the great sighs of a bored child.
• I want to take a lot of long walks on soft evenings, and ride my bike around town on sunny afternoons.
• I want to lie on the grass and relax under the warm sun and not think about any of the chores or errands I could be doing instead.
• I want to eat a ton of sweet corn, watermelon, and garden-fresh vegetables (from someone else's garden, of course – I don't do bugs and dirt).
• I want to throw and attend impromptu parties, the kind that start out with someone stopping by for a chat and end up with calling more people and deciding to cook out. After all, summer, I think, is a season best shared.
Whatever your plans, this summer or just your weekend, have fun, be safe, and enjoy your MidWeek.

Apple has filed a US patent that has some speculating that the Cupertino, California technology giant could create an augmented reality head-mounted display to compete with Google's Project Glass technology.
Filed January 20, 2011, and published just a few days ago, the patent shows a graphic that looks like the company wants to own the rights to bowls people wear on their heads, as pointed out by The New York Times.
Instead, the patent details an Apple innovation that could be used to increase the pixel density of a digital display placed over someone's eye through mechanical actuation. In a nutshell, the patent describes wearable video glasses that use a tiny battery which could display video as clear as the iPhone 4S with its Retina Display.
As pointed out by Patently Apple, a site that tracks Apple's patents, it's not the first patent Apple has filed on wearable technology. It says the company has been toying with the idea of video glasses since at least 2006.
Apple's latest patent comes after another one was published earlier this month in relation to a Video Telephonic Headset. That patent's publication comes after Apple's 2008 patent for an iPod Video Headset Display.
If Apple does indeed plan to release video glasses it will need to get a move on with releasing them, as Google plans to offer its "Project Glass" video glasses early next year. It offered them for pre-order to attendees for at its recent Google I/O event last month for $US1500.
