Sustainability and Energy Task Force
The Sustainability Advisory Committee was first put together in July of
2009 made up of Students, Faculty and Staff from all four Yeshiva
Campuses. The goal of the Committee was to complete ACUPCC's final
requirement, a Climate Neutrality Action Plan. As the Climate Action
Plan is being finalized, the Committee will unite with the Energy Task
Force to continue their efforts towards carbon neutrality.
Download the inaugural issue of the Energy Task Force newsletter, Green Energy Matters (PDF)
The sustainability of the environment and proper utilization of our natural resources is a responsibility that Yeshiva University shares with the rest of the country. In 2006, when energy prices skyrocketed causing a 30 percent increase in the cost of heating, lighting, and air-conditioning of our facilities President Joel decided that something had to be done.
President Joel asked Jack Zencheck, the University's Chief Procurement Officer, to head a committee with the following mission:
- analyze energy use and cost for the University
- benchmark our costs against similar educational institutions in New York City
- develop a list of potential cost-cutting measures and ways to approach them
- review funding options for in-depth studies
- competitively procure energy requirements
- comply with the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment (ACUPCC)
The Sustainability & Energy Task Force includes University trustees, staff, faculty, and students. Much work has been done, including energy studies, procurement contracts for natural gas, oil, and electricity, and encouraging President Joel to sign the ACUPCC, which he did in November of 2007. The committee now includes in its mission sustainability, recycling, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and education.

Francis M. DuBose, Urban Missions Leader, Dies
Francis M. DuBose, retired professor of missions and former director of urban church
studies at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, died at his home in San Francisco of age-related natural causes, on Saturday, June 20, 2009.
"Dr. DuBose changed the way Golden Gate viewed its mission as an urban seminary and was a pioneer in leading Southern Baptists to embrace ministry in the city," said Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary President Jeff Iorg. "We thank God for his legacy."
"Francis DuBose put Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary on the map as far as global and urban missions were concerned," said Dr. Rick Durst, Director of Golden Gate Seminary's eCampus and Professor of Historical Theology. "Dr. DuBose has left us a legacy in his published works, How Churches Grow in an Urban World, The God Who Sends and Classics of Christian Mission." Durst described how DuBose initiated an annual Urban Training Event, where for four days pastors, directors of missions and students assembled under his mentorship to use San Francisco and Oakland as a living lab for learning how to reach cities for the gospel in the midst of their complexities of ethnic diversity, economic crises and moral challenges. This event, which began in 1974 and was held annually for over 25 years, was so effective that several Baptist associations continually sent teams from their cities to learn and participate. "Dr. DuBose changed the urban paradigm among many Baptist leaders from 'flight or fight' into one of 'engage and evangelize' holistically," noted Durst.
"Dr. DuBose lived a genuine passion for the city, especially the city of San Francisco," said William O. Crews, President Emeritus of Golden Gate Seminary. "I will always remember being moved deeply when he would quote poetry he had written about the city. From a personal standpoint, Francis was always an encourager to me in my role as President. I will always be grateful for his contribution to the seminary and to my own life."
"Golden Gate is the premiere school for a multi-cultural Christian education," said Dr. Leroy Gainey, J. M. Frost Professor of Educational Leadership at Golden Gate Seminary. "We stand on the shoulders of Dr. Francis DuBose, who was a pioneer in this area long before it was popular. Dr. DuBose was a mentor, friend and brother that I'll personally always be indebted to. Dr. DuBose would always remind me, 'if you are ever in need of a good friend, call on Christ first, and then call on me.' I've not forgotten this and I continue to pass it on."
"Golden Gate Seminary has been known as a distinctively 'missions' seminary," said Dwight Honeycutt, retired William A. Carleton Professor of Church History at Golden Gate Seminary. "That is a large part of Francis DuBose's legacy. Within the collegiality of faculty circles Francis kept the missionary vision before us. Not one to simply theorize about missions, his whole life was engaged with people who needed the kind of witness that Francis was always ready to provide. Deeply sensitive, he was an excellent poet, and some of my fondest memories of him are hearing him read publically many of his poems within the Seminary community. His was an amazingly wonderful, inspiring and productive life."
DuBose, known as "The Shepherd of the City," joined the faculty of Golden Gate Seminary in 1966. In 1971 he became professor of missions and director of urban church studies. In 1979 he was appointed director of the World Mission Center (now The David and Faith Kim School of Global Missions). He was elected senior professor of missions in 1992 in honor of his official retirement, and continued to teach into the early 1990s.
Dr. Linda Bergquist, church planting missionary with the California Southern Baptist Convention and North American Mission Board, as well as an adjunct professor at Golden Gate Seminary, recalled that Dr. and Mrs. DuBose volunteered for almost 40 years at the Page Street Baptist Center in San Francisco. "Everything they did, they did together," she noted. "They are both our heroes!"
"Francis and Dorothy DuBose chose the city. They made it their home, and they gave it their lives," Bergquist explained. "They were fully engaged activistic San Franciscans who, even in retirement, chose to live near the ministry center they loved and ministered with for 40 years. Francis DuBose's passion, humility, wisdom and kindness towards all things urban inspired me to be a better San Franciscan, and a better missionary to the city. Over and over again, I have reiterated these words from a poem he wrote, "I Choose the City."
by Francis DuBose
I choose the city...
Not simply to live in it,
to see it,
to hear it;
But to touch it;
yes, to embrace it,
to hold it,
To feel the wild glory of its
pulsating soul,
To move over its wide,
hurried broadways,
To stand stilled and sobered
at the nowhere of its dead-end streets,
To be trapped with it in its
pain and problems,
To be at once chilled by its ill
and covered with its confetti.
I choose the city because I choose God,
Because I choose humanity,
Because I choose the divine-human
The struggle which will be won
Not in the serene path through
meadow and wood,
among the bees and birds, and flowers,
But in the city street
Made by the hand of man
Through the gift of God--
Main Street: the final battle field,
The scene of the ultimate struggle,
Where man chooses right
Because he is free to choose wrong.
Babylon, dirty and daring--
Babylon, yes--
Babylon today--
The New Jerusalem!
Francis DuBose,
Mystic on Main Street
, Chapel Hill, NC: Professional Press, 1993, pp. 78, 79.
DuBose was born in Elba, Alabama on February 27, 1922. He was a recipient of a bachelor of arts degree, cum laude, from Baylor University; did graduate study in anthropology at the University of Oklahoma; received a bachelor of divinity degree and doctor of theology degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a master of arts degree from the University of Houston. He did additional post-doctoral study at Oxford University, England, and was a visiting research fellow at Princeton Theological Seminary. Before coming to Golden Gate Seminary in 1966, DuBose served as pastor in Texas from 1939 through 1961, served as director of missions in Detroit, Michigan from 1966 to 1970, and was a teaching fellow in missions at Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas from 1960 to 1961.
He is survived by his wife, Dorothy Anne Sessums DuBose, four children, six grandchildren and six great grandchildren.

From Trials to Trails: A Q&A with Alicia Shay - Page 2
What has motivated through illness and injury?
After Ryan passed away, my whole world fell apart. I wasn't sure where to turn. From the beginning I felt very strongly that I should continue running. However, I felt completely broken and destroyed. I didn't know how to make it through the next minute let alone the next day, week, month or year. It was during this time that all I could do was ask God for help and strength. Eventually I found myself not just surviving each day, but also actually having hope and peace about the future.
I was also surrounded by friends and family to encourage and support me. The final thing that kept me motivated was that I just really love running and believed that it would be worth all the effort and frustration to be able to compete again. I feel like something is missing from my life when I can't escape into the trails and run until I am satisfied. So every time I hit what seemed to be a dead end, something inside of me just kept fighting back and urging me to keep trying and keep pushing.
Walk us through a typical day for you, nutritionally.
I eat a wide variety of vegetables and fruit, wild game, eggs, a variety of grains and starches and healthy fats. I have celiac disease so I avoid all grains and packaged products that contain gluten. This has led me to making a lot of my own baked goods and breads using a variety of different grains (teff, quinoa, millet, sorghum, oat, buckwheat, etc.) rather than just relying on wheat for carbohydrates.
A typical day:
Breakfast: gluten-free oatmeal with chia seeds or almond butter, brown-rice protein powder, berries and coffee with almond milk
Post-run snack: a smoothie or bar and apple or gluten-free muffin with almond butter
Lunch: omelet with vegetables and gluten-free toast or potatoes/sweet potatoes OR a wrap with vegetables, meat and hummus or guacamole
Afternoon snack: homemade gluten-free scone or muffin with some sort of nut butter and a piece of fruit
Dinner: a salad with a variety of cooked and/or raw vegetables, red meat (buffalo, elk or venison), some sort of carbohydrate (sweet potato fries, quinoa, rice, winter squash, lentils or beans, etc.) and some sort of healthy fats (avocado, hummus, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.) and some chocolate for dessert.
Evening snack: pancakes or gluten-free cereal or popcorn or homemade cobbler.

Claremont Graduate University alumni fared well in the Nov. 6 elections, winning seats from city hall to Sacramento to US Congress.
Cristina Garcia (MA, Education, '02) captured more than 71 percent of the vote to win California's 58th Assembly District seat, which represents a portion of Los Angeles County. Garcia, a Democrat from Bell Gardens, campaigned on a platform of cleaning up corruption.
Tom Cotton (former student, Politics and Economics), will serve in the US House of Representatives after defeating a rival for the open seat out of Arkansas' 4th District. Cotton is a Republican and Army veteran. The Weekly Standard called him a "rising political star."
In Southern California municipal races, Paula Lantz (MA, Education, '69) held off two challengers to retain her seat on the Pomona city council. Lantz, a lifelong Pomona resident, has served on the council since 1991.
Dan Morgan (EMBA, Drucker School, '98) earned about 68 percent of the vote to remain treasurer for the city of Upland. Morgan has held the post since 2008.
Gary Tomak (MBA, Drucker School, '93), kept his seat on the Desert Sands Unified School District board in La Quinta. Tomak, an incumbent, was one of eight candidates running for three open seats on the board. He's served on the board since 1999.

Homotopies between proofs and between programs
Anyway, the comment got me thinking. I spend much of my time refactoring code. This is making small modifications to software intended to restructure it to a better form without changing its behaviour (eg. I've just been dumped with a single C++ source file 0.25MB long most of which is one function and is in considerable need of some tidying up!). If you think of a program as a path to get you from an input to an output then a change to that program, that keeps the behaviour the same, is a kind of homotopy between paths. But I couldn't really get anywhere with that idea.
In Baez's This Week's Finds this week he talks about homotopies between proofs. These are ways to convert one proof of a proposition into another proof of the same proposition. Cut elimination is such an operation but there are surely others.
According to the Curry-Howard isomorphism, a computer program that maps type A to type B is essentially the same thing as a proof of B assuming A. So a homotopy between programs is the same thing as a homotopy between proofs. For example, Baez's example of converting between two proofs P -> R corresponds exactly to converting the piece of Haskell code f . ( g . h) to (f . g) . h using the associativity of . (. is Haskell for function composition.)
So, is there some kind of interesting topology to be extracted from this? Does the space of programs that map input x to output f(x) have interesting fundamental groups or homology groups? I guess a good place to start would be with two simple programs to perform the same operation that can't be transformed into each other by simple steps. And do I really need omega-categories to make sense of this?
Anyway, besides Baez's stuff there's also theo's comments with a real world example of what looks like a homotopy between proofs.

Jon Cohen (http://thatlogicblog.blogspot.com) was trying to teach me about cartesian closed categories and refresh my memory about homotopies enough to help him come up with such a topology, when I was in Australia last year. He's very sharp, and seems good at motivating people, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's got some more relevant stuff by now.

I'm busy giving myself a crash course in category theory at the moment. Though I studied algebraic topology years ago I never did category theory for its own sake. Among other things I'm wondering about some down to earth stuff - using linear logic to do linear mathematics. Eg. linear types allow you to do matrix and vector operations more efficiently in place.

Normalisation of proofs in Natural Deduction has been shown to be related to finding normal forms of lambda terms via the howard-curry correspondance. I imagine that finding equivelent lambda terms is closely related to homotopies of proofs.

Clisch nets overtime game-winner for Negaunee hockey team against L'Anse
L'ANSE – Senior forward Nate Clisch made the last of a series of passes count for a goal 4:03 into overtime to lift Negaunee to a 4-3 victory at L'Anse on Thursday night.
The Miners (4-16), who have won two of three against the Purple Hornets this season, took the lead three times in regulation before L'Anse came back to tie the score each time.
But the Hornets didn't get the chance to tie it in extra time after an NHS defenseman passed the puck to sophomore Chad Larson, who passed it on in the high slot to sophomore Ryan Syrjala, who finally got the puck to Clisch as he was rushing in on Hornets' goalie Jason Rank.
"We did a good job of keeping the shots on the perimeter and cleaning up the garbage (rebounds)," Negaunee coach Eric Hill said.
Miner goalies Anthony Moyle and Tyler Riutta combined to make 47 saves, Moyle working the first two periods and getting 38 of them before he was forced from the game due to an injury. Rank had 29 saves for L'Anse, including four in OT before the game winner.
Clisch and teammates Alex Ledford and Ryan Bischof each had a goal and an assist, while teammate Cody Wetton had two assists.
For L'Anse, Cody Goldsworthy scored twice and teammate Brett Hebert had the other goal along with an assist.
Ledford opened the scoring 6:21 in before Goldsworthy needed just two seconds to tie it 1-1. Bischof made it 2-1 about four minutes after that, only to have Hebert tie it in the middle of the second period.
Larson put his team up 3-2 with six minutes to go in the second before Goldsworthy forged the game's third tie with 13 seconds left in that period.
"We could've went one of two ways after that late (second period) goal, get deflated or respond to it," Hill said. "We responded to it to our guys' credit."
Farmington 5, Marquette 3
At Chelsea in the Public School Showcase, Marquette scored the game's first goal, but Farmington netted five of the next six.
Junior forward McKinley Larson got the Redmen on the board 5:50 into the game with an unassisted goal before Nick Heffron and Marc Nahat scored 21 seconds apart later in the period to give the Falcons the lead.
Junior forward Alex Zerbel pulled the Redmen within 3-2 with a power-play tally about five minutes into the second period, but Ranken and Nahat each netted their second goals in the middle of the third to put the game out of reach.
Senior Forest Folker scored Marquette's final goal with 1:29 left after coach Mike L'Huillier pulled goalie Evan Kyle in favor of an extra attacker.
Kyle made 18 saves while Farmington netminder John Lethemon was called on to stop 37 Redmen shots.
"They've got one big line that scored all their goals, but give our kids credit, we outshot them and outhit them," L'Huillier said. "We're just having a hard time putting the puck in the net right now."
Marquette (4-13) travels to the Detroit suburb of Trenton today to face Saginaw Heritage at 2:40 p.m. in the Michigan Interscholastic Hockey League Showcase. The Redmen finish at the MIHL Showcase when they play Grosse Pointe South at 10:50 a.m. Saturday.

TBTA waiting on arrival of hybrid buses
ALPENA – Delay in the delivery of four hybrid buses has thrown a monkey wrench into plans by Thunder Bay Transportation Authority to improve service.
The trolley-like buses, manufactured by Double K Inc., were expected in April. However, the authority is now hoping the first one will arrive January 2014, Prell Services General Manager and CFO Billi Edmonds saidy. Prell manages the city's bus service.
"We're beyond frustrated that there have been so many delays in this project," Edmonds said. "The hybrid technology is wonderful for this area and we're really excited to get them on the road to see how they produce."
The buses, to be paid for by $2.59 million in federal grants, were sought because they were expected to consume 70 percent less fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 80 percent. According to the Crandon, Wis., company's website, the vehicles also look like old-fashioned trolley cars and would fit in with the appearance of the city's historic districts.
The buses also are a key part of TBTA's plan to begin offering its customers fixed routes and schedules, Edmonds said. Customers living close enough to a bus stop could get around town easily. This would take pressure off Dial-A-Ride service, which would continue to transport people door-to-door on request.
One more issue TBTA had to juggle was that the 2009 funds came with a Sept. 30 expiration date, she said. Aware of pending production delays, TBTA officials went through the hurdles December 2012 of applying for more time. Then, they waited nine months, worrying they would lose access to the grants, Edmonds said.
"We had no guarantee," she said.
On Aug. 22, the extension was granted, she said.
Friday also was frustrating because of 45-minute delays for service, which could have been alleviated by the hybrid buses, Edmonds said.
The reason was three-fold: it was raining. It was the end of the month and people were trying to get their Michigan Bridge Cards filled. It was also the last day before a long-holiday, and those without automobiles were trying to stock up on food and supplies, she said.

The role of NGOs in the implementation and monitoring of the Charter
NGOs must be regarded by states as preferred partners in the pursuit of the shared aim of promoting language diversity. Their role is decisive, both before and after ratification of the Charter. Prior to ratification, they may assist states to choose the languages concerned and the provisions of Part III that they wish to apply within their territory. Their role in the monitoring of the honouring of commitments is to advise the committee of experts and the national authorities of any problem that may arise when the Charter is implemented in states.
For more information, we recommend the handbook - "Working Together: NGOs and regional or minority languages", edited by Council of Europe Publishing (link).
In addition, three other tools may assist NGOs during the implementation and monitoring of the Charter:

Historical Background
The primary source for Othello is a short story from Gli Hecatommithi, a collection of tales published in 1565 by Geraldi Cinthio. The story from the collection dealing with "The Unfaithfulness of Husbands and Wives" provides an ideal place for an Elizabethan dramatist to look for a plot. Since no translation of this work is known to have appeared before 1753, scholars believe that Shakespeare either read the work in its original Italian, or that he was familiar with a French translation of Cinthio's tales, published in 1585 by Gabriel Chappuys.
In Cinthio's tale, the wife is known as Disdemona, but the other characters are designated by titles only. There are also significant differences in the length of time over which the drama takes place, details of setting, and characters' actions.
Commentators have also suggested that Pliny's Natural History provided Shakespeare with details to enhance Othello's exotic adventures and his alien origins. It has even been suggested by Geoffrey Bullough that Shakespeare consulted John Pory's translation of Leo Africanus' A Geographical History of Africa, which distinguishes between Moors of northern and southern Africa and characterizes both groups as candid and unaffected, but prone to jealousy. Shakespeare was also familiar with fifteenth and early sixteenth century accounts of wars between Venice and Turkey, during which time Venice regained temporary control of Cyprus.
It is agreed by most scholars that Shakespeare wrote...

Eggplant Rollatini
Recipe courtesy of Providence Cheese
- Ciao America with Mario Batali
- 1 1/2 pounds whole milk ricotta
- Olive oil, to coat pans
- 2 large eggplants
- 5 eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- All-purpose flour, for dredging
- 2 packages (about 12 ounces per package) frozen spinach, thawed and strained
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan
- 3 1/2 cups jarred tomato sauce
- 1/2 to 3/4 pound shredded mozzarella
Spoon the ricotta into a fine strainer placed over a bowl in the refrigerator for several hours. Discard the excess liquid.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread thin coating of olive oil on 3 baking or cookie sheet pans, or reuse the same pan several times.
Wash the eggplants and cut the tips off. Put the flat end down onto the cutting board. Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices, to make about 15 slices. Beat 4 of the eggs. Add salt and pepper to season eggs. Coat each eggplant slice with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, drain any excess egg mixture, and lay flat on baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. If you can't cook all of the eggplant at once, bake them in batches. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Note: You can make the eggplant ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.
Combine spinach, ricotta, remaining egg, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the grated Romano or Parmesan in a bowl. Mix well. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Spoon 1 cup of tomato sauce onto the bottom of a small baking dish. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling onto the wide end of each piece of eggplant. Then, roll up each piece and place into the baking dish.
Top with remaining tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella, and remaining grated Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until the tomato sauce is bubbling and the filling is hot. Let them rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Marathon Training Guide - Page 3
If you run more than about 40 miles per week, or if you run faster than about eight-minute mile pace, you can add two miles at a time to your long run. Keep adding miles until you reach 22 to 24 (or about 3 to 3 ½ hours, whichever comes first), and do your longest run two to three weeks before your marathon.
Lactate Threshold (LT) Runs
LT runs are also very important when preparing for the marathon. The longer the race you're training for, the more important it is to train your LT, because the closer the race pace will be to your LT pace and the more important it becomes to hold a hard pace for an extended time. And for a marathon, you need to extend the duration of your LT runs. To accommodate the increased duration, you can run a bit slower than LT pace (which I call tempo runs). Since optimal marathon pace is only about 15 to 20 seconds per mile slower than LT pace (with the difference in paces getting larger as performance level declines), the goal of marathon training is to raise your LT and to increase your ability to sustain as high of a percentage of your LT as possible.
If you're experienced with doing many long runs and want to give your marathon performance a boost, try inserting LT-paced running into some medium-long runs (12 to 16 miles). These LT/LSD (long slow distance) combo runs simulate the physiological and psychological fatigue of the marathon. Like long runs, they severely lower muscle glycogen, stimulating its synthesis and storage. You can include LT segments at the beginning, middle and/or end of the run.
Some examples are:
- 4 miles at LT pace + 8 miles easy;
- 5 miles easy + 3 miles at LT pace + 5 miles easy + 3 miles at LT pace;
- 10 miles easy + 4 miles at LT pace.
After you've done a number of these combo runs, try running faster than LT pace for the last mile or two of the final LT segment, which will sharpen you for the marathon. For example, run 9 miles easy + 4 miles at LT pace + 1 to 2 miles faster than LT pace. You may want to run the LT segments on a track, where you can closely monitor your pace. Because these workouts are very tough, alternate the long run with the LT/LSD combo run every other week, and after three or four weeks, don't do either run for one recovery week.

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of flash memory, and Seagate Technologies, a leading supplier of enterprise-grade hard disk drives (HDDs), on Thursday said that they had entered into a joint development of controllers for enterprise-grade solid-state drives (SSDs). This is the second enterprise SSD-related agreement that Seagate signed in 2010.
"Today's agreement with Samsung will help us bring a compelling set of SSD innovations to the enterprise storage market, with benefits that range from enhanced performance, endurance and reliability to cost and capacity improvements. This agreement with Samsung strengthens our SSD solutions strategy, and positions Seagate well as global demand for storage continues on its strong growth path," said Steve Luczo, Seagate chairman, president and chief executive officer.
Under the agreement, the two companies will jointly develop and cross-license related controller technologies for SSD storage devices to attain the high levels of performance, reliability and endurance demanded by enterprise storage applications. The joint development effort builds on the existing SSD capabilities of each company while combining Seagate's leadership in enterprise storage technology with Samsung's flash memory technology specific to 30nm-class MLC NAND. The jointly developed controller will be utilized in Seagate's enterprise-class SSDs. Probably, Seagate will have to exclusively use multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory from Samsung inside those drives.
"We are pleased to be jointly developing a high-performance SSD controller with Seagate for the enterprise storage market," said Changhyun Kim, senior vice president and Samsung fellow of memory product planning & application engineering.
The fact that Seagate as well as Intel Corp. and a number of other makers decided to use MLC NAND flash memory inside their enterprise-grade solid state drives clearly points out that the manufacturers believe that advanced SSD controllers are capable of dramatically improving reliability of MLC-based SSDs.
Earlier this year Seagate teamed up with LSI for PCI Express-based enterprise-grade SSDs. Under the agreement LSI created solid-state storage (SSS) solution 6200 for PCI Express x4 interface that could integrate up to six Seagate Pulsar solid-state drives that are designed for Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interconnection.

|Firewire Nano 5'10 Surfboard - CNO-0127867 in Epoxy/Sand/Clear
Style: CNO-0127867
"The original MPH (Modern Planing Hull). The NANO is the stock MPH and a true example of a 21st century modern thruster. It is a user friendly all around board but a radical performer with free flowing speed and a very natural controlled ride. Effortlessly fast and loose, yet predictable and drivey, the NANO ticks all the boxes. The rider really feels as though they can pull off any maneuver and it rides with a very pure sensation of flow. The NANO features a clean, foiled shape, a wide point forward of center, a round nose for smooth turns and a wide chopped tail with soft corners for exceptional speed and glide. The straight rail line through the back end of the board will provide the necessary control through turns. The Nano has a surprising range with good edge control in bigger punchy waves. Ride this one in the middle to the performance end of your preferred volume range in thigh to slightly overhead surf. Ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers." -Firewire.

On the Floor: Sections F1, F2 are a part of Floor Seating, which offer some of the closest views of the performers. For many concerts, floor sections are added or removed. These performer-specific adjustments may alter the floor layout and the views from each floor section.
To the Side of the Stage: Most diehard concert-goers will agree that the best concert seats at Target Center not on the floor are those to the side of the stage in Sections 113, 129, 112 and 130. The view is not head-on like on the floor, but many of the seats are closer to the stage, provide better elevation and are actual stadium seats.
Head-on to the Stage: Seats directly across from the stage, like those in Sections 101, 104 and 138 provide the most comfortable looks of the performance. Even upper level sections offer unobstructed sitelines. Just keep in mind that you won't be able to see as much detail from these seats as you would if you sat closer to the stage.
The following shows have unique setups. Click your show to see the interactive seating chart and to buy tickets directly on the map!
If you're short, only buy floor seats in the first few rows: The most common complaint amongst floor ticketholders is that they can't see the stage because of taller people in front of them. As an alternative, consider side sections near the stage that will still have you close and high enough to see.
Lower level side sections are not created equal: While the side sections closest to the stage are top-notch, side sections farther from the stage may leave you with a cramp in your neck. Sections 133 and 109 are not well-angled towards the stage - leaving you to turn your head for an ideal view. Instead, consider head-on sections in the lower level or even close side seats in the upper level like Sections 213 and 229.

Join between multiple Shard
I might miss this out when skimming tru the docs. How do we run query (join) accross multiple shard? if I had few tables in the join that is sharded and they are shard base on different columns, how will the performance like? any best practices or things to avoids?
Hello debluncz,
First of all, let me give you the link to the documentation page which explains the constraints of the CUBRID SHARD.
To summarize the documentation page, I should say that even though you can
JOIN tables, the query will be executed on one shard only based on:
- the
shard_idwhich was derived from the
shard_keyyou have indicated in your query
- if
shard_keyis not specified in the query, the
shard_idis determined by Round Robin, i.e. the query will be executed on a randomly selected shard.
This means that the result of the
JOIN query will be based on the data available on the shard the query was executed on.

Norma,Was that one of your Ultra-Thin clones ? And how did it taste?Peter
Norma congrats. The pizza looks good. Even with my MBE not working right I've notice a better oven spring than the home oven. Your pie looks like it has great oven spring. That's from having sufficient top heat? So this one was bake for around 6min? Did you have to rotate the pie at all? Also I'm not quite sure I understand the new mods you made and how it help. Sounds like it's time to take the grill to the market.
Norma, it sounds like you baked the pie with the burners off correct? You were baking on residual heat from the stones. If you are happy doing the grill/oven broil technique then I would keep doing so for awhile until your desire to experiment overcomes your level of satisfaction. But to complete the grill bake using 1 oven and do it in style as Tampa, flyboy4ual, jgame, 2stone and others you should look into mounting a rotisserie in the rear. For the $40 or so, it is a worthwhile endeavor and investment to me. Especially since you've already hand cut the firebricks. In working with the Primo, home oven, and now the MBE my single biggest obstacle is to get a higher heat to the top of the pie. That is extremely difficult to use 1 heat source and redirect the heat in such a way as to achieve an even bake. With the addition of a rotisserie or a side heat source, that challenge can be mitigated. Tampa and others have really done a fantastic job of figuring that out. As for taking your oven to the Market, at least you tried. I've always had respect for ppl who try the seemingly impossible. It's ok to say I've tried it and failed, but at least I stepped up to the challenge.
That looks fantastic!!!
Looks great , was their any sugar or oil in that dough ?
Nice job Norma. So this was done completely on the grill? What was the total bake time. Things I like about the looks of the pie. Crumb looks great. nice and airy. The spring on the rim looks good as well and coincide with the crumb. That tells me you have some decent heat coming from the top. The dark spots on the rim is promising as it gives that nice crunch. Nice job Norma. Keep it up.
I want to try this experiment again, to see if I can get the same results. You know how it is, one time you get good results and the next time no good results. I was also really surprised with the oven spring.Norma

New to triathlon or taking on new challenges in the off-season? Find out how your other sporting loves can impact on your triathlon progress.
Maddie Parrott played for a number of clubs, including Next Generation in Bristol where she competed in the county league. She is now a long-distance triathlete and cyclist.
Benefits: Mainly psychological. I loved to win the very close, long matches which required patience, concentration and determination. That's what you need to succeed in triathlon, especially over longer distances where you need to pace yourself.
Baggage: My squash background has never hindered me in triathlon, in fact it worked the other way round. I started running to improve my fitness in long matches, but running inhibited my flexibility and I started getting injured on court. So I gave up squash, continued running and from there moved into triathlon.
Biggest difference: League squash required commitment to certain times every week, with matches on a Thursday evening, practice and training in the gym on Monday. Triathlon is a far more flexible sport.
Verdict: Helpful - there was a lot that I took from squash to triathlon, like discipline in practice and training, setting clear goals, and the routine of a dynamic warm-up before exercise and cool-down stretching afterwards.

My Little Boy is Outgrowing Hearts and Rainbows, writes Stephanie Kaloi on The Good Men Project. It was "fun" for her to dress her preschooler in "bright colors" and what she considers gender-neutral clothing, Kaloi writes. It was "half a political stance and half a frustration with how despondently boring I find most boy's clothing."
Granted, my son has worn his fair share of puff sleeves and rainbows, but MOST of his clothing has been boy-leaning, with a dash of glitter on a sleeve.
Boy-leaning with glitter? I don't think so.
. . . I was leafing through the racks of a local Goodwill when I saw it: a bright pink sweater covered with multi-colored hearts. I swooned, smiled, and then stopped: Was this too girly?
Now, 4, her son wants to look like a boy. Kaloi will let him, though she seems to be hoping he'll turn out to be gay so they can have more fun with glitter. "I suppose this is all part of realizing my kid is getting older, but there's a real part of me that mourns the loss of freedom in clothing, however temporary it may be," writes Kaloi.
"Whose 'freedom' would that be?" asks Amy Alkon, the Advice Goddess. The "nitwit mom" doesn't mention Daddy, Alkon adds. The little boy's only male role models seem to be his preschool buddies.
A commenter known as Conan the Grammarian asks the relevant question: "Did she have a child or a doll?"

Another day in this amazing medieval city began with a visit to the impressive Groeninge Museum, enabling a close viewing of the Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele, by Jan van Eyck. It is so detailed that one can even see the reflection of Jan van Eyck in the armor of Saint George. We strolled to the serene Beguinage, and then returned to a new multi-sensory visit at the 'Historium' recreating Bruges in 1435, and then climbed all the steps to the top of the Belfry.

Florence has proven itself as a festive city willing to keep its ancient traditions alive through the centuries. The festivity of the Rificolona is a good example of this. Today, 7th of September, if you're so lucky as to find yourself in Tuscany's capital you will be able to enjoy one of the most glowing celebrations in the city.
Papier-mâché lanterns tied to the ends of sticks, called rificolone, will illuminate Florence's streets that turn into the perfect scenario for a joyful parade.
However, maybe one of the most beautiful moments of the "Festival of the Lanterns" is when the celebrations shift to the river Arno where an impressive boat parade is illuminated with a kaleidoscope of coloured lanterns in different shapes and sizes. A cheerful date for Florence with parties in the square and street theatre performances accompanied by delicious traditional cuisine and a colourful procession from Piazza Santa Croce to Piazza Santissima Annunziata.
From Il Salviatino, your five star hotel in Florence, we would like to invite you to come and enjoy Rificolona with us!

On Friday, March 15, USAT will conduct a public demonstration of the Daedo Protective Scoring System (PSS) and the newly WTF-approved KP&P Protective Scoring System. This demonstration will take place at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., at 2 p.m. MDT. The demonstration is open to the public.
The purpose of this demonstration is for the public to able to see both Protective Scoring Systems in action with competitors who will use both systems. USAT is aware that there is much concern about USA Taekwondo switching from Daedo to KP&P at a time when most athletes, coaches and school owners are invested in the Daedo Protective System. This demonstration will allow the opportunity to evaluate the merits of both systems in a side-by-side comparison. The demonstration will also allow USAT to give informed opinions to the World Taekwondo Federation regarding both Protective Scoring Systems.
The WTF, the international governing body for Olympic Taekwondo, will be making a decision on which Protective Scoring System will be used at the 2013 World Taekwondo Championships. The WTF will also decide which Protective Scoring System will be in use at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Once the decision has been made as to which system will be used in Rio in 2016, USA Taekwondo will, of course, use that Protective Scoring System exclusively at all of its national competitions, including Team Trials.

Cramer Quick Take: Don't Buy Chesapeake on Takeover Rumors
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With the surprise announcement that Chesapeake Energy (CHK) founder and CEO Aubrey McClendon will be stepping down, should investors snap up shares on renewed hopes the company will be taken over? Jim Cramer told Lindsey Bell at TheStreet.com Wednesday that investors shouldn't jump the gun.
Cramer said McClendon's departure feels a bit like Vikram Pandit being forced out of Citigroup (C) , although unlike Citi, McClendon will provide a transition period through April 1. McClendon will be back, said Cramer, who has spoken with McClendon personally.
Cramer also noted the irony between McClendon's big bet on higher natural gas prices two years ago, which didn't pan out, and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners' (KMP) similar bet with their acquisition of Copano Energy (COP) , announced Wednesday.
Investors looking to play natural gas should look at Southwest Energy (SWN) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, or EOG Resources (EOG) , he said, as Chesapeake will need to continue to sell assets until gas prices improve.

Here are the results of my very non-scientific survey.
Definitions matter:
Suburbs do not count. They are essentially mirrors of the nearest larger city. To be eligible the city must stand alone. This eliminates crap holes like East Cleveland and Campbell.
Can't pick on one-stoplight towns. We know many suck to the point of having zero redeeming quality and purpose for existence and places like Palmyra would qualify, but it's too easy. Same goes for all of SE Ohio outside of Athens.
Any major city has some redeeming quality and at least one decent area. You cannot seriously slam Toledo, for example, compared to these places that'd be better off with a Zombie apocalypse.
1. East Liverpool - When you can look across the river to West Virginia and see a better place, that tells you all you need to know. This place is an abandoned, hollowed out crap hole of all crap holes. Plus it has that Appalachian gross out factor. The boarded out buildings and people with strange stares looking all inbred and sorts vaults this hell hole to the top of my list. Bonus factor of suck: a walmart strip mall in Calcutta is the destination for these sorry assed godforsaken blokes the first of the month. The area contains the nearest open non-liquor stores.
2. Steubenville - The area by what passes for a mall isn't all that awful, but it's like one of those malls where every anchor is dead and there's a bunch of generic stores. The Macy's is cool because it's the closeout store for the region like the Dillard's at dead Euclid Square. The downtown looks like a perfect setting for a "_____________ of the Living Dead" low budget movie. There are parts of this unloved hill jack region that you take your life in your own hands walking in day or night. Bonus factor: lots of super-ugly Stiller fans.
3. Springfield - This place is a total arm pit. It's the place where there are boarded up motels by the dozen and junkies walking around brazenly looking in vain for any unstolen copper at noon time with utter impunity. I get lost there once and was pretty sure I was gonna get shot at a hardies for my ray bans. Bonus factor: Let's face it. You get south of Dublin and you are essentially in the mid-south.
4. Lorain - This place is every bit as dangerous and ugly as Detroit and every bit as nasty as Steubenville, but it is at least on the lake and not so Appalachian. I think it has an open business downtown. Bonus factor: They built a community playground near the old A-K HS and the locals set it on fire.
5. Warren - One could EASILY make the case for warren at one as it is amazing how such a small city can have so much ugliness and blight per capita. This is a place where the people are so stupid and economically stunted that GE was gonna keep a light bulb plant open by converting to CFBs from the old tungsten's and the old farts voted "no" to concessions so they could take unemployment as a bridge to pension. 200 younger employees lost jobs. It is possible that actually happened in Niles but it is so apacraphal I don't really care. Every industry imaginable has an abandoned factory here. This place is so butt ugly it makes you wish that wild fires were an Ohio phenomenon. the only reason it's not higher to me is that there is a decent shopping area on the outskirts that is technically Warren. Bonus factor: Eddie Money at the Warren Ampetheater is the big summer draw.
Honorable mention: Lima. I've heard it sucks maybe worse than any of these places but have never personally been.

hey guys, my hollowbody LR baggs piezo high E has a huge sudden volume drop.. any idea what is the caused of it? It has happened once many months before for a few days but after which it returned to normal without me doing anything.
Now the same issue has recurred again.. I sent it to a local PRS tech before previously when it first happened. They said something like the magnetic pole saddle for the high E has weaken. But I was thinking if it has weaken how could it return to normal? Their explanation makes no sense. Now this has happened again and I am not too sure what to do.
Apparently LR baggs do not replace only a single saddle but requires the replacement of the whole system.. its a bit costly and I wish to avoid this.
Any idea how could I solve this or what is the actual cause of this? Anyone has gone through a similar issue?

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are expanding rapidly, reports the New York Times. But where's the money?
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — In August, four months after Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng started the online education company Coursera, its free college courses had drawn in a million users, a faster launching than either Facebook or Twitter.The co-founders, computer science professors at Stanford University, watched with amazement as enrollment passed two million last month, with 70,000 new students a week signing up for over 200 courses, including Human-Computer Interaction, Songwriting and Gamification, taught by faculty members at the company's partners, 33 elite universities.
In less than a year, Coursera has attracted $22 million in venture capital and has created so much buzz that some universities sound a bit defensive about not leaping onto the bandwagon.
. . . New ventures like Udemy help individual professors put their courses online. Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have each provided $30 million to create edX. Another Stanford spinoff, Udacity, has attracted more than a million students to its menu of massive open online courses, or MOOCs, along with $15 million in financing.
All of this could well add up to the future of higher education — if anyone can figure out how to make money.
Coursera is trying to create "revenue streams through licensing, certification fees and recruitment data provided to employers," reports the Times.
Selling certificates of completion requires a way to verify students are doing their own work. Verification could use typing patterns, reports the Chronicle of Higher Ed.
eCornell is trying to enroll MOOC students in a paid follow-up class.
If students can earn transferrable credit — or perhaps employer-designed certifications — then there's gold in them thar MOOCs.
A wonderful site called Retropundit has the news from 1913: In 50 years, Tufts professor predicts moving pictures will make professors obsolete.
In a speech reported by the Boston Daily Globe, Tufts Professor Edwin C. Bolles hailed recent inventions which "make moving pictures talk" and predicted:
Fifty years from today a college faculty will consist essentially of a president, a janitor and a moving-picture man. . . . The professors will be able to give their lectures without even entering the class room, the moving picture films will reproduce their voice and every one of their characteristic gestures and postures.
"One suspects fifty years may prove too short a span of time for such radical changes in our system of higher education," writes Retroprundit. " Time will tell."

Unfinished Business
A full circle of fourteeners
Photo by Bernie Boettcher
Roiling up through the layers of constrictive obligation, like some volcano that would blow if not vented, was the magma of unfinished business. The thought of not summiting Colorado's highest mountains simmered in me for decades.
The notion arose with a trip to Rocky Mountain National Park in the early 1980s with my brother and his girlfriend. We strapped on our work boots and metal frame packs, and set out to climb the highest mountain in the park, Longs Peak (14,255 feet.) We made it above timberline to Chasm Lake, but rain and the fact that his girlfriend was headachy and vomiting foiled our plan.
I remember staring up at the Diamond Face of Longs wishing to know the view from its crown.
That trip confirmed my desire to move to Colorado so I could live in the mountains, and I did. Back then there were no mountain guidebooks that I knew of. If I saw a mountain I wanted to climb, I drove as close to it as I could, and just started up. This practice led to a lot of bushwhacking and dead ends, but a lot of summits, too.
In the mid-1990s when someone published a guidebook to Colorado's 54 fourteeners (mountains over 14,000 feet), I was skeptical. I was accustomed to finding my own way. But when a friend, Dennis Webb, invited me to climb a remote peak and we were able to find the trailhead in the dark and then the route with ease, I converted. Soon we were obsessed, studying the guidebook and planning weekend trips.

Paul Mercer, OCUL president, and John Florian, league vice president of government affairs, traveled with Bill Herring, CEO of Cincinnati Central CU, to Romania to formalize a partnership between the league and FEDCAR.
WOCCU's Brian Branch, executive vice president and chief operating officer, and Victor Miguel Corro, senior manager in charge of the International Partnerships Program, also were part of the group.
While Romanian credit unions are growing, their operating environment presents challenges to future growth and success, including a narrow product-service mix limited to a savings-type deposit account and small loans for terms of five years or less. Lobbying for legislative and regulatory changes is crucial to Romanian credit unions' continued ability to serve their members, said OCUL (eLumination Newsletter June 1).
The Ohioans met with leaders of two credit unions and observed common factors among FEDCAR credit unions: high delinquencies, high liquidity, increased costs and low loan volume.
The combined group identified three areas of immediate need in which OCUL could help FEDCAR:
1. Support lobbying efforts for better credit union legislation in Romania;
2. Assist with marketing efforts to bring more credit unions into FEDCAR's membership; and
3. Provide continued training in risk management, including a possible visit to Ohio by Romanian credit union leaders for intensive training.
Mercer, Florian and Herring ended the visit by conducting a training session on risk management, advocacy, and the value of trade association membership for 64 leaders from all 17 FEDCAR-affiliated credit unions.

Topic: 3 Websites in 1? (+ extra language)
I am new to RoR and I am looking for some guidance. I do not know if it is possible to do this but I am looking to build "3" websites from one application (using my 3 domain names).
The structure will be the same for all 3 although one should be in a different language.
Basically, depending from where you access the website you will be presented with the same structure but with the appropriate content in the appropriate language.
What is the best way to go about it????
Is it possible at all?
I was thinking adding 2 extra columns to my database tables: country and language. Then I would check which domain name the user is accessing the website from and display content from database accordingly? Is this feasible?
All suggestion, tutorial, link welcome.
Thank you for your help.

Patriot Memory, a leading supplier of advanced flash and DRAM products, this week announced renaming of the previously announced Fusion solid-state drives (SSDs) with DRAM cache into Torqx lineup. In addition, the company disclosed rather impressive performance figures for Torqx and said that it would provide special bracket that allows to install 2.5" SSDs into 3.5" bays of desktop PCs.
Patriot's Torqx SSDs are based on Samsung Electronics' multi-level cell flash memory and feature 64MB of DRAM cache. Patriot Torqx 128GB and 256GB solid-state drives feature up to 260MB/s read, and 180MB/s write speeds, whereas the 64GB version can boast with 220MB/s read and 135MB/s write speed. According to the manufacturer, the Torqx drives do not use internal RAID to boost performance of the units.
In addition, Patriot said that it would include a special bracket with its Torqx and Warp SSDs that allow to install these 2.5" flash-based storage devices into standard desktop 3.5" bays.
"Consumers are looking for options: our goal is to give them that opportunity to add new technology. By including the SSD bracket in all SSD purchases for the Warp and Torqx series, Patriot makes SSD an attractive choice for overclockers, gamers, and PC enthusiasts; a definite 'value add' for all consumers," said JR Wakabayashi, Patriot's marketing manager.
Patriot's Torqx SSDs should be available shortly from now.

Picture Perfect in Scotland
I want to thank you most sincerely for very kindly including the
photograph of Kirkmichael Parish Church, here in Scotland, in the splendid
collage that forms the cover [summer/fall 2002]
of inSpire. I was more than delighted to see this when my copy arrived
this morning, and I know it will generate much excitement when I tell the
congregation on Sunday morning. The congregation is a small but
hard-working and committed gathering of mostly rural people—whose
18th-century church means much to them. This is in fact the third church
on this site. Christian worship here goes back some 700 years!
We are very touched by this gesture, and I know that it will bring much
happiness to the hearts of those lovely people here who I'm extremely
privileged to serve.

Thankful for Professor Loder
The Princeton community lost a truly wonderful professor last November
with the death of Dr. James Loder. As we approach the Thanksgiving season,
I will remember him and be thankful for his approach to helping students.
He never imposed his opinion; he always encouraged us to think for
ourselves. During my tenure at Princeton as I faced the challenge of being
a student, a wife, and a new mom, he was a treasure and an inspiration to
me in many ways—not only in his teaching, but also in the way he lived and
served the Princeton and surrounding communities.

Disclaiming the Palestine Disclaimer
The editors of inSpire received a number of letters from people upset
about inclusion of a disclaimer at the end of Christine Caton's article,
"Peacemaking in the Israeli/Palestinian War Zone" [summer/fall
2002, page 37]. It said, "The views expressed by the author do not
necessarily represent those of Princeton Theological Seminary."
One reader wrote, "What a pity that the views expressed by Christine
Caton, who is courageously making peace in the Israeli-occupied
Palestinian territories, 'do not necessarily represent those of Princeton
Theological Seminary.'" Readers used words like "disappointed,"
"dismayed," "scandalized," and "awful." One wondered, "Why does a cry for
justice for the Palestinian people and a factual account of one person's
experience of the gross injustice being inflicted upon them...require such
a noncommittal statement? This is when the church and its institutions
must speak out, both for the sake of the suffering Palestinians and for
the integrity of our Christian witness."
All the letters asked why this article, and none of the others, was
appended by the disclaimer.
We acknowledge that many articles are printed that do not represent the
views of the entire Seminary community without a disclaimer attached, but
realize that the issues taken up in Caton's article are especially
contentious, with strong opinions on both sides (both in Israel and the
U.S.) about how peace in the Middle East can be achieved.
Having earlier printed another article that also expressed a
Palestinian perspective ["The
Hopes and Fears of All the Years," winter 2001, pp. 5–6], and
receiving comments from some of the Jewish faith who were concerned about
the lack of an Israeli perspective, the editors included the disclaimer to
highlight the fact that Princeton Seminary does not have an official
position about the political solution or the assignment of political blame
in this tragic situation. The editors also wish to express that the
Seminary stands emphatically behind Ms. Caton, is proud of her work, and
continues to pray for the ongoing situation in the Middle East. Finally,
the author was comfortable with, and gave her permission for, the use of
the disclaimer.
In response to the letters from our readers, and in order to avoid
similar misunderstanding in the future, we have decided the best way
forward is to add a disclaimer to inSpire's masthead on page one
that says, "The views expressed in inSpire may not necessarily represent those
of Princeton Theological Seminary." This will cover the entire magazine
and preclude the need to add disclaimers to specific articles in the

often claimed that PTS's main interests, under an ideological cloak of
ministry, were really twofold: wealth and power. But your glamorization of
military chaplains in the pages of the spring
2002 inSpire really hit a new low. A minister in uniform is
Thirty years ago—during the Vietnam War—I led a demonstration outside a
convention of military chaplains in Seattle. Nothing in the last three
decades has done anything to raise my estimation of the position. The best
thing current chaplains could do would be to resign in protest over the
brutal empire our nation has become.
How about a feature story on alumni/ae of PTS who have worked for peace
and justice causes from the time they were in seminary—and never stopped?
Now that would be a story worth telling!

(Mis)interpreting a Hymn?
Professor Sally A. Brown ["Preaching
That Fosters 'Ecclesial' Identity," summer/fall 2002, page 14] uses
the gospel song "I Come to the Garden Alone" as a symbol of the mistaken
emphasis on individualized spirituality.
She notes that the song "is intended to evoke the resurrection
appearance to Mary in the burial garden on Easter morning," which is what
the author claimed, but declares that "the hymn's text omits Jesus'
commissioning of Mary to go back to the gathered community of disciples to
preach the good news, thus severing personal encounter with Jesus from its
ecclesial context."
I am ambivalent about the song, although many in both my congregations
love it. I find it overly sentimental, I dislike the voice of Jesus being
described as "sweet," and in addition I oppose the notion that "the joy we
share as we tarry there, none other has ever known"—which seems as if one
is bragging about winning some sort of contest, and which ignores the deep
relationship with Christ of all people around us as well as those
throughout history.
Nonetheless, I think Professor Brown is mistaken when she says that the
song omits the commissioning of Mary. In verse three, the author depicts
Mary Magdalene as wanting to stay in the garden with the risen Christ, but
she is not allowed to do so: "But he bids me to go." What is this but a
reflection of John 20:17b, where Jesus tells Mary to carry the good news
to his not-yet-understanding/believing disciples?
The next section of verse three is intriguing: "Through the voice of
woe, his voice to me is calling." Does that mean that the voice of the
risen Christ comes to us with comfort as we struggle with the sorrows of
life? Or does that mean that Jesus speaks to us by means of "the voice of
woe," calling us to mission?
I take it as the second, for was that not the situation of the
disciples? Jesus was commissioning Mary to take his joy to their grief,
the good news of his resurrection to their sorrow that Jesus was dead,
defeated, and destroyed, only another false messiah. The voice of their
woe was that through which Jesus called Mary to proclaim and demonstrate
the life-changing, world-transforming gospel of his cross and
resurrection. So it is with us.
One thing more: when we sing this gospel song in church, even though it
focuses on Mary's individual experience, it is an ecclesial act, whereby
all of us singing identify ourselves with Mary Magdalene in her sin and
forgiveness, in her tears and despair, in her joy as the risen Christ
calls her by name, in her mission as she's sent forth in his name.

article about Danny Thomas's experiences in Uganda [summer/fall
2002, page 11] was released from the hospital this past summer and is
living in Jinja, Uganda, hoping for plastic surgery.
With sadness, we report the death of Julia Robinson, featured in an

we trust that her new life with God is boundlessly joyful.
