|Catherine-Monica Hall, 1962
To celebrate Gonzaga's Jubilee Year in 1962-1963, Gonzaga University feted the opening of seven building projects, which cost $3,500,000. Another women's dormitory was completed. Built in two sections, St. Catherine Hall and St. Monica Hall housed over 350 coeds. In the center of the court were lounge and recreational facilities. Previously, the University had twice refused some 250 women applicants for admission due to lack of housing facilities.
|Hughes Hall, 1962
|Campion Hall, 1962
The ever-increasing enrollment necessitated that Gonzaga added an 18,000 square foot annex to the COG. (There were 2,111 students enrolled in the fall of 1962.) Three more smaller men's dormitories were constructed on Boone Avenue: Alliance House, housed 20 students from Latin America and Western Europe with 25 students from the United States; Campion House, named in honor of the Jesuit martyr Edmund Campion, housed 37 male students; Rebmann, in honor of Gonzaga's first president James Rebmann also housed 37 students.

Gonzaga hosted its first Parents' Weekend in April 1963. More than 200 visitors came to campus. A highlight was the banquet on Saturday evening. Due to its success, Parents' Weekend occurred annually in the spring for the next 30 years.
|Gonzaga in Florence students
at the Piazzale Michelangelo,
Florence 1964
In 1963 Gonzaga expanded its campus globally by establishing the Gonzaga in Florence Program in Italy. Students took core classes taught in English from Jesuits and lay faculty, and they were required to take an Italian course. Fr. Neil McCluskey was appointed director of the program. For its first year, the program accommodated 34 men and 25 women students.

In 1968, three laymen were appointed to serve with the five Jesuits on the Board of Trustees. This was the first time that laymen served with this important group. Over the years the number of total trustees has increased with the number of Jesuit members decreasing. In 2007, of the 28 trustees only six are Jesuit.

at Gonzaga University, 1969,
Welch Hall in background
On October 15, 1969, Gonzaga University campus participated in the Vietnam Moratorium Day in Spokane. Classes were suspended so that the entire student body and faculty could examine the historical and political aspects of the Vietnam War. Later in the afternoon, approximately 2,300 people, including Gonzaga students, marched peacefully from the Kennedy Pavilion to the U. S. District Court House in downtown Spokane. Prior to the march, a public rally was held near Welch Hall. Spokane attorney and GU alumnus Carl Maxey gave a speech saying that the war must end immediately. The rally and march were sponsored by the Spokane Moratorium Committee.

|Pilgrims on the second
Pilgrimage, 1970
In May 1970 Gonzaga sponsored its first Pilgrimage, with the second one occurring that fall. All the succeeding treks would take place in the fall. The total walk was about 30 miles over two days to the Cataldo Mission, the oldest standing building in Idaho and was established by the Jesuits in the 1840s. A Jesuit Priest and a California Scholastic founded the Pilgrimage. Later, University Ministries took over its organization. As is tradition, the pilgrims make designated stops along the route where individual groups perform skits. A mass is held at the Cataldo Mission to complete the journey.
|Father Coughlin, 1974
Beginning in the fall of 1970, for the first time Gonzaga law school offered a full-time day program. With a day program, students would able to complete their studies in three years, instead of the usual four years for an evening program. This decision allowed for more students to be admitted which meant that the Law School had to hire more full time faculty. From 1970 to 1979 there was an increase in law school enrollment from 159 to 879. Two new classrooms in a modern addition were added in 1973 to help the space problem.
Fr. Bernard J. Coughlin became Gonzaga's 23rd president in October 1974. Prior to his arrival, Gonzaga was facing soaring operating deficits; campus growth was static; and enrollment had begun to decline. Within two years of his arrival, the budget was balanced and enrollment had begun to grow. Coughlin would continue to successfully serve Gonzaga as president for 22 years. Afterwards, he became Gonzaga's first Chancellor.
A longed-for goal was obtained by the Law School in December 1977, when the Association of American Law Schools admitted the Law School for the first time as its 133rd member. The law school library was one of the largest ones in the west and other problems had been addressed. At the time, the school had 27 full-time and 21 part-time faculty members with 510 full-time and 355 part-time students.
|Panel at the Presidential Press
Secretaries' Forum at Kennedy
Pavilion, 1978
On April 1, 1978, Gonzaga hosted the Presidential Press Secretaries' Forum at the Kennedy Pavilion. Over 2,500 people heard four former presidential press secretaries answer questions on a panel. The presidential aides worked for Nixon, Johnson, Ford, and Kennedy. The panel also included media from the New York Times, ABC –TV news, and Portland Oregonian, a representative from Kaiser Aluminum, and the son of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. More than 2 million viewers tuned in to view the edited version of the forum "Some of the President's Men", which was televised over the national PBS network in May during prime time.

A few months later, entertainer Bob Hope was on campus to participate in Gonzaga's 1978 commencement. To honor his friend Bing Crosby, who had died six months earlier, Hope gave the commencement address. In return Gonzaga gave him an honorary degree. During his speech, Hope made comical remarks about himself, Crosby, and Gonzaga.

Hotel developer seeks zoning change
SARANAC LAKE – The developer of a proposed five-story hotel on Lake Flower is now asking the village to consider rezoning the properties he's under contract to buy as a planned unit development district.
The village Board of Trustees will consider the request at a special meeting scheduled for 5 p.m. tonight in the village offices.
If granted, it would mean a series of land-use code variances Chris LaBarge of Lake Flower Lodging had requested for the hotel project, including for the height of the building, wouldn't come before the village Zoning Board of Appeals. Instead those issues would be taken up during the planned unit development district process.
LaBarge wants to build an upscale 90-room hotel on the site of three Lake Flower Avenue motels: the Lake Flower Inn, the Adirondack Motel and the Lake Side Motel. He submitted an application for a planned unit development district to the village on Friday, according to village Community Development Director Jeremy Evans. The resolution the board will take up tonight is just to consider his application, he explained.
"It's not approving it or anything," Evans said. "It's saying, 'Is this worthy of our consideration as a project.' It's saying, 'Yes. We'll look at it.'"
The village added language to its land-use code in 2011 that allowed for the creation of planned unit development districts. Evans said the process involves review by the village board and the planning board.
"The application goes to the planning board first for review and an advisory opinion on a sketch plan, then back to the village board for approval," Evans said. "Then it goes back to the planning board for the final review and opinion and back to the village board for final approval. This is basically (LaBarge) asking, 'Will you start that process for me.'"
In a Friday letter to Mayor Clyde Rabideau and the village board, LaBarge wrote that the project will be subject to a complicated review process by village and state agencies. After reviewing each agency's regulations, he said he determined the PUDD process would be the most effective way to review the project.
"The PUDD provides flexibility to make the needed changes as requested by the different agencies and allows coordination by the planning board, who will make an advisory recommendation on the project to the village board for a final decision," LaBarge wrote.
A draft resolution approving the request for PUDD consideration is on the village board's agenda tonight. It says, "The village seeks to avoid duplication of effort and multiple levels of decision making, and to ensure optimum design and review of the proposal as a whole, with full public participation and timely decision making."
While Thursday's ZBA meeting may be cancelled if the village board agrees to move forward with the PUD process, Evans said LaBarge still wants to have an informal meeting with the planning board. That meeting is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the village offices.
The hotel project would cost between $15 million and $18 million, and LaBarge has said he is seeking both public and private financing.
Another resolution on the agenda for tonight's special meeting would add the village board's support to LaBarge's application for state funding through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council. The application deadline is Aug. 12.
The agenda for tonight's special meeting, including a copy of LaBarge's PUDD application, is posted on www.saranaclakeny.gov. To view it, click on the link for "Latest Village Board Agenda."

As a side note to anyone wanting to learn how to do anything with a marker go find a cheep spyder clone and play around ! I started building spumps in a shed with a hack saw and a file they may not have been the nicest looking abomination but I thought they looked sweet
Another side note I got a few pictures of it today it's not dun but it still looks like a whole new beast

Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, under the category of hard to believe but true, I want members to imagine this.
The member for Mount Royal proposed amendments to the justice for victims of terrorism act. Using their majority, the Conservatives decided not to support the amendments. After the bill went through committee and into report stage, the government used the very same amendments but labelled them Conservative amendments. They messed up, of course, because they could not bring the amendments forward at report stage. They have admitted that the bill itself has flaws. Because of their incompetence and inability to recognize the positive contributions from the Liberal Party through the member for Mount Royal, those amendments were not added to the bill.
Does that make any sense to the member?
Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Of course the short answer would be no, Mr. Speaker, but my answers are rarely short.
It goes without saying that this does not make any sense, and I said it earlier. In my opinion, it is going to be important to see if the Senate does the job that it should do when it deals with Bill C-10, particularly since the Minister of Public Safety himself now recognizes what we all knew, namely that there is a problem, including with certain clauses on terrorism. We think there are problems with many other clauses in this bill.
The government even claims to have listened to Quebec with the three amendments proposed by Quebec's Minister of Justice. The government accepted a cosmetic change whereby the word "promote" is replaced with "improve". This is totally ridiculous, because the notion of long-term protection of the public, which was the basic objective for Quebeckers, was excluded. It will probably resurface some day.
Now, the Minister of Public Safety is trying to amend Bill C-10 through the back door. He did not want to do it directly in front of opposition members, because he did not want to admit that his bill is flawed. Now, we are going to see if the Senate can be useful. However, as I said earlier, I doubt it. It will send us back the legislation without any changes, because the government is intent on passing it within the first 100 days of this Parliament.
Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Manon Perreault Montcalm, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague on all the good, sound arguments she made regarding this bill.
I wonder if she could tell us why such an important bill is not being given the time needed—an acceptable amount of time—in order to debate it more thoroughly.
Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, that is an excellent question. That is definitely the question we will be asking all day, since it is such a huge bill, with 208 clauses.
The only conclusion I can draw is that the Conservative government is afraid of debating its ideas. Why? Because its argument is very weak and is not supported by any studies. The Minister of Justice told us himself that these are his own personal observations, because there is very little left of any studies. The government spoke at length about the study conducted by Justice Nunn, who appeared himself and contradicted the Conservatives, saying that he agreed with only part of the bill. That is the problem. Everyone agrees with small sections of the bill. However, if I say I agree with one small section, they must not quote me and say that the member for Gatineau supports Bill C-10.
That is the problem. They are truly afraid of having a real debate. Yet they have a majority. They have no reason to fear that Bill C-10 will not pass. If they were serious legislators, they would have taken the time needed. We have heard this from the Quebec justice minister, the Quebec bar and the Canadian Bar Association. Incidentally, those two associations are not made up of only criminal defence attorneys, as we have heard said in this House. They include lawyers who specialize in all areas of the law. Only a small percentage practice criminal law.
I must say, the Conservatives are laying it on a little thick when they say that if we do not support them, then we must support the criminals. No one here is siding with the criminals.
Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Marc-André Morin Laurentides—Labelle, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to hear what my colleague from Gatineau has to say about one point.
What impressed me in the six-inch-thick document is the number of things it forgets about. It forgets about people like prison guards. I have met some of them. If an inmate spits in their face, they have to fill out a report and get treatment for six months in case they have contracted AIDS or hepatitis B. The inmate who committed the offence is transferred to another section, which is what they wanted. This is used as a weapon for extortion.
I wonder how many things like this have been forgotten about. But this bill should protect honest people, peace officers and prison guards. Not only is it full of errors, but it is also full of omissions. This is a bill I would rather see put into the shredder than into the presses of the Canada Gazette.
Safe Streets and Communities Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I mentioned that in my speech. These are people we should have talked to. A lot of work has been done outside working hours, because there was not a lot of time to examine this bill in committee and at first reading. Nonetheless, we were contacted by a number of people who wanted to be heard on Bill C-10. It is unfortunate that we could not hear them. Prison guards, for example, have major concerns about Bill C-10 and their working conditions in detention centres. The ministers of justice from various provinces may agree with some aspects of the bill, but they do not agree with the costs involved in building prisons.
These prisons have not been built yet, but we know the speed with which these things get built in Canada, except in the riding of the President of the Treasury Board. In the rest of the country, construction is rather slow. That means that the prison guards we now have will be the ones having to deal with overpopulation problems, not to mention prisons for women, where there are even greater problems. There are major concerns. About 100 omissions like these have been identified, because nearly 100 amendments were proposed and were automatically rejected.

Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, today I want to pay tribute to a wonderful lady in my riding of Cariboo—Prince George. Mary Sjostrom is the newly elected mayor of the great city of Quesnel, B.C.
Mary has been an amazing supporter of her hometown, having been active in business, community organizations, civic politics and just about everything else we can think of to make Quesnel, B.C. a city with an awesome community spirit and a great place to live. It has been my pleasure to know Mayor Mary for many years and to work with her over the last few years. She carries out her civic leadership roles with class, determination and a complete dedication to the people of Quesnel.
I congratulate Mary and look forward once again to working with her as she continues in her leadership role as mayor. I thank Mary for her friendship.
Quebec City Public Transit
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Mr. Speaker, in November, the City of Quebec released the final report of the working group on sustainable mobility. Extensive consultation was done on this plan, which is an initiative to make public transit more efficient in the context of a long-term vision of sustainable development for generations to come.
Quebec City is proving that it is sensitive to the needs of families and people with lower incomes who, as the cost of gasoline rises, will be able to benefit from a more efficient and accessible public transit system.
I commend Quebec City's spirit of innovation and leadership in this plan for sustainable mobility. This initiative goes hand in hand with the NDP proposal that Canada create a national transit strategy.
I want to take this opportunity to assure my constituents and Mayor Régis Labeaume that they have my support for this forward-looking project. I wholeheartedly invite the Conservative government to support our municipalities and take part in this project.
Violence against Women
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, today is the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, which represents the global effort to eradicate contemporary forms of slavery, such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage and child soldiers. Tragically, women and girls make up the majority of these victims, even here in Canada.
The Government of Canada is deeply committed to addressing the problem of violence against women and girls in Canada and abroad. Our government will mark December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, by encouraging all Canadians to raise awareness about gender violence and taking action to invest in projects that combat violence and abuse against women.
May we all remain steadfast in our determination and action to end violence against women and girls in all of its forms.

Irwin Cotler Mount Royal, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week I participated as a Canadian member of the parliamentary delegation in the annual parliamentary hearing at the United Nations.
In the session on political accountability, including that of the United Nations itself, I called upon the UN Security Council to invoke its responsibility to protect doctrine to protect against murder, brutality and torture, including the torture of children and hospital patients, forced disappearances and the like in Syria. I called on it to heed the calls of the Arab League for the protection of Syrian civilians, which the Syrian government responded to with more murder and which has since been sanctioned by the Arab League.
In the second session on youth participation, particularly in the Arab Spring, I called upon the United Nations to help secure the immediate release of a young Egyptian blogger, Maikel Nabil, one of the early voices of the Egyptian Arab Spring, who then became the first political prisoner in the post-Mubarak era. Today as we meet, he languishes in prison on the 102nd day of a hunger strike for seeking to do that which the Arab Spring was hoping for. He has emerged as a symbol of the hope yet betrayal of the Arab Spring.

Andrew Saxton North Vancouver, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the immense contribution that our government recently made to the future of my city, my province and our country.
After a fair, transparent and competitive process, the shipbuilding secretariat announced an $8 billion contract to North Vancouver's Seaspan Marine Corporation. This announcement was met with jubilation across British Columbia. I applaud our government for its success in implementing a fair and transparent arm's length process.
As we have heard, this decision has been great news for Canadians, for British Columbians and for Vancouverites. By some estimates, our national shipbuilding procurement strategy will create 15,000 good jobs over the next 30 years, revitalizing our Canadian shipbuilding industry.
While the parties in opposition have no plan for growing our economy and creating jobs, our government supports job growth. We are delivering on our promise to create good jobs in high tech industries across Canada and provide much needed ships for the Canadian navy and Coast Guard.
I join the people of North Vancouver in congratulating Vancouver's Seaspan Marine Corporation on its successful bid.

Françoise Boivin Gatineau, QC
Mr. Speaker, I have the great pleasure of recognizing entrepreneurial excellence in the Outaouais, particularly in my riding of Gatineau. On November 24, at the Canadian Tourism Awards gala, the Buffet des Continents was awarded this year's Community Service Award for its outstanding contribution to the community.
At the Gatineau Chamber of Commerce gala held on November 26, the following businesses and individuals were recognized for their excellence, innovation and vision: Sporthèque de Hull; PXL MEDIA; Storeimage; Rochef Chocolatier; Patry, Poulin, Trahan & Associés Inc.; Pedayoga; Impression Charles; the Laiterie de l'Outaouais revitalization committee; Eugène Tassé—the most valuable entrepreneur; and Jean Vaillancourt, Rector of the Université du Québec en Outaouais. The Buffet des Continents was honoured once again. Jean-Claude DesRosiers was honoured as person of the year.
Speaking for myself and for the NDP caucus, I wish the dynamic entrepreneurs of Gatineau and the Outaouais much success and prosperity. The New Democratic Party is a proud partner of our business community and will continue to support its development.

Brian Jean Fort McMurray—Athabasca, AB
Mr. Speaker, the Keystone pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars in economic growth in the United States and in Canada.
This project is the largest shovel-ready project in the United States. It is state of the art and environmentally sound. It is time to deliver Canadian oil to other markets around the world. The northern gateway pipeline to the west coast, is a stable, secure and ethical pipeline to deliver energy to the world from the most socially progressive and environmentally sound oil producers in the world.
I thank and salute Suncor, Syncrude, Albian Sands, Nexen, and Canadian Natural Resources Limited.
We are a trading nation in a global economy. We need to seize these opportunities to create more jobs and a better quality of life for all Canadians.
Violence against Women
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Ted Opitz Etobicoke Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada and the world are marking the 16 days of activism against gender violence.
We know that women and girls are more likely than men to experience violence and assault in intimate and family relationships. Over 80% of sexual assault victims are women or girls. Dating violence is a growing problem.
Education and awareness are critical tools. Women and girls should always be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to call for help from families, friends or other support options in the community. They should know about their personal rights and their personal boundaries. This campaign is also an important time to remind men and boys of their role in the solution.
During these 16 days of activism, we can each do our part in preventing violence against women and girls in all its forms.

I love the New Year! It is the perfect time for a fresh start. And of course that fresh start often means addressing health and wellness issues. With that on my mind I thought it's the perfect time I share a secret with you: Did you know Breidenbacher Hof houses more than just the hotel? In addition there is also a day spa accessible to our guests!
The Schnitzler Beauty Lounge is considered one of the premiere day spas in Düsseldorf. And I absolutely enjoy a timeout there— it's the perfect getaway from the daily business stress and the town's hustle and bustle. Let me tell you a bit about what makes this spa so special:
There are two entrances to the Schnitzler Beauty Lounge: directly from the hotel or externally via the boulevard entrance. No matter which way you arrive, the moment you enter the relaxation begins. Cozy vibes, warm lights and ambient sounds— everything is based on the concept of elements and the path to inner balance. What I really like is that all five treatment rooms have been individualized and reflect one particular element. So you can actually choose between fire, wood, water, earth or metal!
For me, the most important feature are the rooms' organic shapes: they are round, so no corners. This transmits a feeling of security and shelter. Combined with the sound and light installments I can't help but to completely relax.
For a fresh start into 2014, I decided to go for their water signature treatment this time. How symbolic, I know! J I really felt balanced and rejuvenated after my 100 minutes of relaxation and already decided to return in the near future to grant myself another timeout.
Maybe next time you stay with us at Breidenbacher Hof, you can experience it yourself. Our Personal Assistants will be happy to assist with your booking.

Brookhaven held off a late rally by Chillicothe and came away with a 29-27 victory in a Division III Region 9 quarterfinal last night.
The third-seeded Bearcats (9-2) won their first playoff game since 2009 and will face second-seeded Marion-Franklin (10-1) on Friday in a regional semifinal.
Chillicothe got a touchdown to make it 29-27 with 1:36 left in the game, but a pass on the two-point conversion attempt failed, and Brookhaven ran out the clock.
"Like I told them, you just won a playoff game over a 9-1 team, by no means perfect," Brookhaven coach Trevor White said. "Hats off to Chillicothe. They were everything we thought they'd be: tough, physical, disciplined, fight to the end. We knew it was going to be that kind of a game."& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; /p>
The Bearcats trailed 14-10 after the first half, which saw the teams combine for seven turnovers. Davon Grant's 4-yard touchdown run with 5:15 left in the third quarter put Brookhaven in front 16-14.
Sophomore quarterback Macyah Fleming then hit Asan Crego with a 67-yard scoring pass to make it 23-14 with 49 seconds left in the third quarter. Fleming also hit Terry Barker with a 37-yard touchdown pass to give the Bearcats a 29-14 lead with 10:47 left.
But the sixth-seeded Cavaliers (9-2) made things interesting. D.J. Vinson made a one-handed catch on a 19-yard touchdown reception from Ryan Mathis to cut Chillicothe's deficit to 29-21 with 8:54 left.
With just over three minutes left, Fleming, who also handles punting for the Bearcats, bobbled a snap from punt formation at Brookhaven's 12-yard line, stumbled as he was running to avoid pressure and was tackled at the 7.
The Cavaliers' Daiquan Hall ran it in from the 1 on fourth-and-goal to make it a two-point game with 1:36 left. But on the two-point conversion attempt, Jalen Mischal couldn't handle a Mathis pass in the left corner of the end zone.
The Bearcats ran out the clock and escaped with a victory.
"I can not tell you how proud I am of these kids" White said. "We knew we were in for a four-quarter slugfest."

Desmond Tutu had long been at the top of my list of people I wanted to interview. I met him in the woods of Southern Michigan, where he was beginning a few days of retreat. He was visibly tired, yet utterly delightful and larger than life. And passion overtook his tiredness as soon as we began to speak about the history he has helped to shape and how he has found meaning within it.
Desmond Tutu's intellectual intensity and spiritual gravity are tempered by a mischievous wit and a raucous laugh. All of these qualities are abundant in conversation with him, and they infused one of the first stories Desmond Tutu told me about his path to political resistance — his realization at some point that "if these white people had intended keeping us under, they shouldn't have given us the Bible."
He tells me of preaching and speaking with mature women who were generically called "Annie" by their white employers and grown men forever called "boy" — and handing them the "dynamite" of the Bible as they headed out of church and back into the world. When someone asks you who you are, he recalls telling them, you can say, "I am a God-carrier." This kind of inner liberation, one life at a time, yielded eventually to an outer upheaval of one of the most entrenched governments of social brutality in modern memory.
As I finally approached this opportunity to speak with Desmond Tutu, I was also deeply aware that South Africa's transformation, like its previous status quo — like life itself — has been dynamic, not static. The extraordinary accomplishment of a peaceful transition from apartheid to democracy has not led to the easy eradication of social and racial inequity. Violent crime has assumed epic proportions. And, as Desmond Tutu puts it, he has been reminded that original sin doesn't discriminate on a racial basis — South Africa's new generations of black leadership are not immune from corruption both personal and political. As he has watched the aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he has realized ever more deeply that this was not a closed effort in time, but the origination of a national project that will be the work of generations.
One of his most sobering learnings in that light has been, he says, how "damaged" non-white South Africans were as they entered a new era — and damaged not merely by 50 years of apartheid, but by 300 years of colonialism, which distorted their very sense of themselves. He shares a stunning, saddening story of getting on a plane to Nigeria and seeing, to his great pride, that it was being flown by two black pilots — a first in his lifetime. When awful turbulence hit, he found himself reflexively wishing there were white men in that cockpit to lead them to safety. From such self-knowledge and personal suffering, Desmond Tutu has created a life of deep wisdom and healing, which he extends to all he meets.
At one and the same time, this is a human being overflowing with delight and a kind of infectious spiritual glee. I have never heard anything quite so joyful, or so moving, as the description Desmond Tutu gives me of voting for the first time at the age of 63, comparing it to falling in love — of being transformed from a cipher to a person. And just as vulnerably and powerfully, he reflects on the limits of politics, which turn out to be even more exacting than the decades of struggle that political freedom entailed.
He describes this in theological terms as a movement from being "free from" to being "free for." He continues to long for a South African society defined not merely by equality under law but by true human flourishing. And the last few centuries of Europe's history of world war, tyranny, and the Jewish Holocaust, he says — breaking into his raucous laughter even as he makes a deadly serious point — give him great hope for Africa's eventual progress.
This same long, indeed biblical view of time animates Desmond Tutu's lifelong insistence that "God is in charge." He believes as passionately now as he did decades ago that evil, injustice, and suffering will not have the last word. Though he does, he jokes, often ask God if he would please make it a little more obvious that He is in charge.
In the end, Desmond Tutu is the embodiment of the qualities of God he preaches: compassion, a fierce love of justice, divine patience, a capacity to surprise, and a wicked sense of humor. His 21st-century stature as one of the leading clerics of the Anglican church born in England — which was implicated in every one of the 300 years of South Africa's collective trauma — is another divine irony.
"At the center of this existence is a heart beating with love," says Desmond Tutu. "You and I, and all of us, are incredible… We are, as a matter of fact, made for goodness." Such statements fly in the face of reality as defined by newspaper headlines. But we can only wonder at them, ponder them, and honor them from the mouth of this man, who knows evil and injustice as intimately as he seems to know the mind and heart of God.

This use case describes how the settings of a Community Energy Storage (CES) Unit (an operating unit in the field) can have its operational settings changed from a remote location. The CES Management system is used to manage the configuration of the CES Units.
Once it has been determined that a configuration change is needed with a CES Unit, the CES Management System issues a command to affect that change. Each communication change received by the CES Unit is acknowledged by a message back to the CES Management system and a log entry is created in D-SCADA to maintain situational awareness. The CES Management System also tells the appropriate CES Controller of the change the CES Units under its control and makes any necessary configuration changes. Each change is acknowledged by a message back to the CES Management System. For each change, a log entry is created in DSCADA. The message is also shared with the Historian by D-SCADA.

Good for review & has more geography than typical flashcards

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Comments about Educational Insights Hot Dots® Flash Cards States & Capitals:
We are a house full of Hot Dots lovers and I was excited to get the U.S. States & Capitals set since we are studying that next year (3rd grade). Each card includes the state facts (nickname, statehood date/rank, bird & flower) as well as the general area where the state is located. The hot dot pen is used to locate the state in question among 5 options in the geographical area. On the reverse of these smaller sized cards (about 3x5), is the us map with only the state grayed, a few facts about the state and a handful of cities within the state to identify the capital with the hot dot pen. I like these cards because unlike regular flashcards with just the stats, it has a few interesting facts, you see where the in the country the state is AND you learn more than one city in the state, too.My biggest complaint is that they are just black and white. Even older kids prefer color :). We took them on our latest road trip and my second grader played with them on the way down and declared that they "weren't fun." And they probably aren't. But they ARE good for an interesting (and independent!) review of states and capitals that are being learned in school. I would buy them anyway--they were on my list of items to buy for the upcoming school year. As always, they come in a sturdy box that does fit the pen (but is not included), and they cards are of decent quality.Disclaimer: I received a copy of this item in exchange for an honest review.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A Fun Way to Learn U.S. Geography!
By TrojanMommy
from California
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
I received the Hot Dots States & Capitals set for my 6 year old son. He is a few years away from learning about states and capitals in school, so it is nice to have this set to be able to do some pre-teaching. It has been a big success in our home!This set comes with 50 sturdy cards that are double-sided. On one side, there is a map of the United States, and the kid needs to select the location of the state they are looking for. (I'm going to be honest and admit that this helped my geography skills, as well!) On the other side, the kid selects the name and location of that state's capital. There is also a short amount of interesting information written about the capital on this side.This set needs to be used with a Hot Dots Talking Pen – a "pen" that the kids touch to the correct answer. This is a fun way to learn and review US geography, and I highly recommend it.
Great for learning US Geography
By Rachel
from Wayland, IA
I received this item free for an honest review. All opinions are my own.We received this set along with another HOT DOTS set and a pen. The pen is NOT included, so this makes a great addition to other complete sets. This will be a great tool when my children are required to know state locations and capitals. One side of the card has the student choose the correct state out of five choices. It also includes state facts like nickname, statehood, bird and flower. The other side has the student choose the correct capital out of four choices and list capital facts. Very informative for learning US Geography. I noticed another reviewer commented on Missouri being in the wrong location. This has been fixed as it is correct on our card set.
Great (except one flaw)

About Me Parent
I received this product in exchange for an honest reviewMy son is in 3rd grade. He loves these cards. This box of cards needs to be used with a Hot Dots pen (not included). You mark your answer with the pen and it tells you if you are right or wrong. On one side of the card is a state name and a map of the US with dots on 4 different states and you need to pick which state is the one that you are looking for. It also includes these state facts: nickname, the date it became a state (and which number it was), state bird, and state flower. The other side of the card is a picture of the state with a few dots and city names, and you are supposed to indicate which city is the capital. It also gives a couple of facts about the capital city.This is a fantastic way for your child to study the states and the capitals. Using the pen, they get instant feedback on whether they are correct or not. We have come across one problem however. The Missouri card is wrong. The Missouri state is not one of the dots on the card, and it actually tells you that Missouri is where Utah is. For this reason, I cannot give it 5 stars. This is the only mistake we have come across.
Merchant response: Thanks NikoletteThis issue has been resolved and the card that had the incorrect answers on it have been scrapped. I have a new Missouri state card being sent out to you. :)
Get These!

Reviews of this property
The house and the apartment are very nice. The apartment is suitable also for a longer stay - it has everything necessary. Things are new and clean, Dijana is also a nice host.
The apartment is a bit far from the center, but the area of Zagreb is nice and we preferred to go for a long walk (40-50 minutes) and loved it.
I would recommend the place for 2-3 people.
We had a wonderful time in Zagreb and Dijana is very helpful, friendly host. Her place is nice and spacious. Thank you for making our stay in Zagreb so special.
Dijana est une parfaite hotesse. Tout était pres pour nous recevoir. L'appartement est très grand et très fonctionnel. Dijana donne toutes les informations dont vous pouvez avoir besoin et vous conseille utilement sur la suite de votre séjour si vous n'avez pas de réservation prévue. Nous recommandons cette adresse sans réserve.
Excellent accueil, Appartement très correct et notre hôte est très charmante et très sympatique.
Twee dagen verbleven voor een trip on Zagreb. Mooi ruim appartement! Huiskamer met een keuken waar alles in zit wat je nodig hebt. aparte slaapkamer met tweepersoonsbed. Schone en goede badkamer. Snelle WIFI en de auto kan zelfs in een garage staan. Bushalte/bakker/kleine supermarkt op 1 minuut afstand. al met al geweldig!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Great place just like the description. Very friendly people. The daughter of Diana has welcomed us. If you search a place like this than this is a great deal for this price. Our children had a lovely time with the dogs at the house. Little minor is the humidity in the rooms. Thank you for a lovely time.
Last weekend my son had a judo tournament in Zagreb so i stayed at the appartment of Dijana. It was a most pleasant stay in a nice quit neighboorhood. Just around the corner you can find a backary and a bus stop with wich you can travel to a nearby stationned bus station for 10 Kun ( about 1,30 euro) there you can take tram 11 with the same ticket and in 10 minutes you are in the old centrum of Zagreb. The appartment is clean and complete . My stay at Dijana was just great although it was a petty that my son did not reach a podium place
very satisfied with the stay very welcoming host, I recommend the apartment
hôte très accueillante très satisfaite du séjour, je recommande l appartement
We - 2 adults traveling with a 7 year old - can recommend Dijana's place wholeheartedly. It is about 10 minutes (by car) outside the city centre in a pleasant community and village like surroundings. Shopping is close and everything worked well. The only noise comes from cars traveling down to the main connector to the city when the community wakes up otherwise it was very quiet. Due to a glitch the place was not cleaned when we arrived but Dijana's daughter took care of that while we went shopping, so it was not really a major problem. We had a rental but there was a bus line close to the house that runs in 5 minutes down to the main road from where connection to the city by public transport is easy. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend Dijana's place for somebody whose looking for a nice place not too far from the city.

After the terrible season of "Dexter" last year, I should probably give up on the show all together. I didn't because there are only two more seasons left and I want to see it through — no matter how frustrated I've been — or will be — by the storytelling. Even if I found the season-long arch involving a religious serial killer boring and predictable, nothing compares to how the series (Ed. Note: Spoiler alert) chose to have Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) finally find out about Dexter's (Michael C. Hall) dark passenger.
Having Deb walk in on Dexter as he drives the knife into his victim's chest is fine — even though it should have happened at the end of season five — but everything leading up to that moment was horrendous. Deb realizing she has feelings for her adopted brother was as outlandishly contrived as it was icky.
For all the mistakes made in coming to this inevitable conclusion for Deb and Dexter, the new season sets up an interesting dynamic for its best characters. I want to be careful about giving too much away, but I think we all know Deb isn't going to arrest Dexter in the premiere. The crux of the conflict lies in her having to deal with seeing Dexter kill a man, and him trying to justify it.
After the initial shock, Deb is naturally suspicious while Dexter slickly quells her fears. It's a pleasure to see Hall and Carpenter get material good enough to match their acting skills. The last few seasons haven't used these two up to their potential, and season seven looks to capitalize on Hall and Carpenter's strong chemistry.
I liked some of the stuff from the early episodes of this season, while others felt like more of the same. Using the complicated Deb and Dexter relationship and tying in storylines from previous seasons is a wise choice. It's good to see "Dexter" folding the narrative back to the beginning, but also having a big bad — this time with the Ukrainian mob — for the season seems like a bit much. I want "Dexter" to finish up strong because it has been a very good show before, but that may be too optimistic.

"Star Trek" returning to theaters for 2 weeks
Critics and fans agree: the Star Trek reboot was pretty awesome. It re-imagined the classic story with spot-on actors, fantastic action scenes, and a storyline that managed to both honor and remain consistent with the original series. Well, if you missed it, you'll have a chance to catch it again this Friday. Star Trek is returning to 85 IMAX screens for a two-week engagement, starting Sept. 4. Gizmodo has put up a list of the theaters across the country that will be showing the movie.
Unfortunately, many of the "IMAX" screens on the list are the dreaded "IMAX Digital" screens, which are significantly smaller than the fill-your-entire-field-of-vision "real" IMAX screens you might be used to. Huge-screened or not, though, a chance to see Star Trek in theaters one more time is more than welcome.

Advanced Fellowships and Professional Development
Advanced Fellowships FAQs | Education of Advanced Fellows Handbook
The healthcare needs of Veterans have changed dramatically in recent years as a result of the changing nature of health risks experienced by those who have served our country in recent conflicts. At the same time, profound changes are occurring broadly in the U.S. healthcare system due to forces such as legislation like the Affordable Care Act and rapid technological advances. VA and other healthcare systems in the US are redefining how care is provided to advance the 'triple aim' of improving patient experiences, population health, and healthcare costs. This has created needs and opportunities for health professionals and scientists to employ skills beyond those provided in most standard professional programs, skills to advance innovation in how healthcare is provided to maximize quality, safety, and value, and to press for advances in the clinical areas of most importance to Veterans health. The VA Advanced Fellowships Programs offer post-residency fellowships to physicians and dentists, advanced training for other health professions, and post-doctoral opportunities for scientists in areas of particular importance to VA and the Nation. The VA Advanced Fellowship programs provide unique preparation for future leaders in healthcare by providing hands-on mentored educational experiences to develop skills in specific clinical areas and more broadly for healthcare system and healthcare education system transformation through policy, system redesign, and, research. Through creative partnerships, use of new technology, and innovative educational modalities, the VA Advanced Fellowships Program promotes and fosters the highest standards of leadership, intellectual integrity, research, and patient care.

In 1978, the Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA) began the VA Special Fellowships Program, which was renamed in 2007 to VA Advanced Fellowships Program, to accomplish the following purposes:
- Develop physician and dentist clinical proficiency, academic scholarship and leadership in emerging areas of health care important to VA
- Contribute to a talented, well trained recruitment pool for VA
- Foster an atmosphere of scientific inquiry and excellence within VA.
The Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Program and Fellowship Program in Geriatrics were the first fellowships started in 1978. Over the years new fellowships were added to meet emerging healthcare needs important to VA. Highly skilled in treatment and research, the pool of physicians and dentists participating in the program has made significant contributions to health care in VA and the nation. Notable examples include nationally recognized programs and research in geriatrics, substance abuse treatment, and spinal cord injury medicine. VA support of fellowship programs in these and other areas has changed physician and dentist training in America.
Program Operations
Physician and dentist Fellowship Program Directors manage the fellowship programs at VA facilities. Working closely with their affiliates, Program Directors plan didactic experiences, clinical rotations, and research training for the fellows. Most fellowship sites are selected through a competitive request for applications administered by OAA. Fellowship participants serve as trainees on a temporary, full-time employment basis at one of the fellowship sites for the duration of the appointment period. VA provides two or three years of stipend/salary support for each fellow. Most stipends/salaries are based on the post-graduate (PG) level the fellow attained through previous Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) residency training. The stipend is related as closely as possible to local affiliate fellowship stipend levels.
Applicant Requirements
To apply to VA's Advanced Fellowships Program, interested applicants can explore the Advanced Fellowships menu, identify programs of interest and carefully review the program announcement for specific information about program eligibility. Interested candidates are encouraged to send a cover letter and curriculum vitae to the local fellowship site. Applications are processed at the local level, and OAA provides final approval. Physician applicants must have completed US residency training and be a board certified or board eligible physician with an active, unrestricted license to practice medicine in the U.S. Some programs allow physicians who are not US Citizens with appropriate visa/residency status to participate if no qualified US Citizen has applied. Professionals from fields other Medicine must be US Citizens.
The VA Advanced Fellowship Programs have been extremely important to VA's clinical, educational, and research missions and the nation's workforce and health-care needs.
