Chair Hicks called the meeting to order; roll call was conducted to verify quorum. The minutes from the previous meeting were approved unanimously.
Dean Coulter spoke to the request to change the name of the college to the College of Computing, Engineering, and Construction in order to better represent the full spectrum of programs offered through the College. Committee members unanimously agreed to recommend the change to the Board of Trustees.
Dean Chally stated that in order for the already established track in Athletic Training Education to maintain accreditation, the degree must be offered as a stand-alone major. She referred Trustees to the documentation attached to Agenda Item 4 and asked if further explanation was required. Trustee Coggin moved to approve the recommendation to the full Board. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved.
Trustee Abdullah asked Dean Chally if there was any explanation for the changing number of graduates or the differences between the numbers of graduates. She remarked that enrollment appeared to be declining. Dean Chally attributed the decline partially to the difficulty in identifying clinical instructors, stating that she expected the numbers to rise. Trustee Abdullah asked if the difficulty meant that students might not get clinical experience or if it meant that less students were accepted due to the lack of faculty. Dean Chally answered that fewer students were admitted. Dr. Abdullah requested the FTE for 2002-2003.
Dean Chally offered to email the information to her. Dr. Abdullah asked what was being done to find more clinical faculty. Dean Chally answered that now graduates of the program were able to become clinical instructors. Trustee Abdullah referred Dean Chally to a figure on page 9 asking if the passing rate for the exam was going down. Dean Chally said that was an issue that had concerned her also. She said that in most health programs the passage rate was very high and that attempts were being made to increase the passage rate including experiences to more appropriately prepare students to do well on the exam. Dr. Abdullah asked if there had been changes in the exam and Dr. Chally replied affirmatively. Dr. Chally added that the pool of applicants had not been like those to the nursing program, they were qualified but did not have the higher GPAs required by the nursing program. Chair Hicks asked what was meant by limited access. Dean Chally stated that the program had the capacity to limit the number of students accepted into the program. Trustee Abdullah agreed that it was important to exceed the national average for the program and said she would be interested in more information on the subject. Dean Chally said she would get back to her with more information.
Trustee Watterson stated that House Bill 353 had passed through the Legislature, codifying student governments into law and requiring that they have constitutions approved by the Board of Trustees. He said this was supposed to have been done by January but had not due to an error on the part of student government. He apologized for the error. Dr. Kline asked if there were any changes made in the constitution.
Trustee Watterson answered that the most recent change was the addition of a treasurer position to work alongside the comptroller position offering further opportunities for student experience and assisting in oversight to make sure funded accounts accomplished directives. Vice President Gonzalez added that though a number of changes were outlined, they were all changes since the inception of student government and the only substantive change to occur recently was the one spoken of by Trustee Watterson. He said he had read the constitution thoroughly and it was a friendly document intended to assist student government with daily operations. Trustee Coggin commented to Trustee Watterson that he'd had a very pleasant lunch with the student government vice president and another student and thought highly of their involvement in current student activities and in the University. Trustee Watterson stated that he really appreciated Trustee Coggin's comments and that the vice president had similar sentiments regarding the visit. The committee voted to recommend Board approval of the constitution.
Chair Hicks wished everyone a grand summer and the meeting was adjourned.

Using paint, magazine and newspaper clippings, people were invited to take a few minutes to create tiles that represented what social justice meant to them using only images, no words. Some tiles featured Louis Brandeis, Harry Potter, or keynote speakers Judy and Eliza Dushku; others were more abstract images representing concepts like equality; one was a visual representation of the old phrase "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil."

February 7 - February 10
The Brandeis Theater Company performed this compelling drama about a young Palestinian-American woman who searched for her missing brother, a soldier who served in Iraq, in this story that crosses time and space, blending and blurring conflicts from the Vietnam War to the Gulf War. With poetic imagery and language, playwright Naomi Wallace explored the intersection of violence and politics, racism and patriotism, desire and the human heart. Director Janet Morrison said, "The characters represent different backgrounds, cultures and wars, but you can see the common wounds, hope and striving that are alive in all of them."

Who is your Social Justice Hero? A roundtable lunch discussion
Each audience member identified a social justice hero, ranging from well-known figures (such as Mandela, Gandhi, Martin Luther King) to personal heroes (such as a relative or mentor – often someone who worked quietly but tirelessly). Student-created questions were discussed, such as: "Does your hero admit to flaws? If so, how has that honesty influenced you?" and "What will my social justice legacy be?"

Telling Your Story to Inspire Action: A Workshop
"Story of Self" is an artful storytelling technique that involves heart as well as facts, focusing on challenges, choices made in response, and outcomes of those choices. Participants practiced shaping their stories into an engaging "Story of Self" to inspire the listener to action, working with their own personal stories about the moments that spurred them to action on social justice. Project Plus One leaders Paul Sukijthamapan '13 and Sarah Van Buren '13, among others, shared their own inspiring "Stories of Self." Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., organizer Leila Pascual '14 reminded participants that "the opposite of poverty is not wealth, but justice."

Handling Values-Based Conflicts: A Workshop on Conflict Resolution
Professor David Steele led this workshop looking at what values might be at the origins of any conflict, with a focus on religious values. Members of a Heller School graduate student panel shared personal experiences about the role of religion within conflicts. Panelists included Jacqueline Okanga (from Uganda), Saoussane Rifai (from Morocco) and Shagufta Shah (from Pakistan), representing different cultures and religious traditions. Attendees were also asked to form a "human barometer" demonstrating what role they feel religion plays within a conflict. Steele mentioned that one of the leaders with whom he worked pointed out, "In some countries, if you take a gift to a tribal leader, it's a sign of respect. In the USA, if you take a gift to a political leader, it's a bribe. Yes, there is corruption, but we define it differently." Identity can be a marker for conflict. Reported Steele: one young Croatian woman said, "At the beginning of the Yugoslav war, I had to ask my mother who we were."

Inventory: The Artist As Advocate for Social Justice
Imagine going to the library, the Catholic chapel, or the Women's Studies Research Center (WSRC) and picking up a few AK-47 assault rifles or Glock pistols. Postcards of them, that is. This participatory art installation by WSRC Scholar Linda Bond was a visual representation of the 190,000 weapons that have gone missing in Iraq. Visitors were invited to take one or more of the cards to keep or give away, then record its current location at the artist's website to track the "weapons" as they circulate around the globe. Artist Linda Bond spoke about various artists through history who have been social activists and of the origins of her "Inventory" installation.

How Corporations Promote Social Justice: Just because it's legal, does it mean it's ethical?
Co-founder of People Magazine Ron Scott spoke about his experiences in the corporate world. He mentioned case studies of "cause-related marketing," (i.e. "doing well by doing good"), including some problematic examples, like tobacco giant Phillip Morris's sponsorship of women's tennis and the performing arts. Respondents Professor Andreas Teuber (PHIL) and Professor Detlev Suderow (IBS) raised intriguing questions like: where morality came from, whether one's sense of self-interest (particularly corporate self-interest) is at odds with morality, and how to think about practices that are legal but not necessarily ethical. In the end all the panelists urged the audience to think critically and "do the right thing" – even if it's a hard thing to do.

Justice, Empowerment, and Creative Midrash
Midrash, or the process of telling a story to better understand the words in the Torah, can underscore the Torah's themes of justice and empowerment. Using ancient sources (the story of Abraham's binding of Isaac) and modern sources (such as Dan Terris's blog post with his working definition of social justice), participants discussed their role in recognizing power and privilege and transforming knowledge into action. Finally, each person had the opportunity to portray his/her own story through a creative representation of a vision for social justice.

Social Justice Show & Tell: A Special Exhibit of Rare and Archival Material
A display of archival material relating to student activism at Brandeis throughout the times was displayed, including pictures, news articles, letters and other materials. This exhibit gave exciting insight into Brandeis' history of social justice-related events and activities with modern resonance, such as materials from the "Brandeis & Apartheid Strike" of April 5, 1979, sponsored by the Brandeis Divestment Coalition, and the 1998 "Passover Seder for Tibet." Archival material of other major social justice-related historical events was also included in the exhibit, such as material related to Sacco and Vanzetti, Jewish resistance in World War II, the Spanish Civil War, the Leo Frank trial, and Louis Brandeis himself.

Life After Death Row: Justice Brandeis Innocence Project Students Talk with Released Inmate Damien Echols, His Wife, His defense Team Adviser, and the Reporter Who Believed Him
Students from the Justice Brandeis Innocence Project at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism asked questions of panelists Damien Echols, a recently released death row inmate, his wife Lorri Davis, his defense team advisor Lonnie Soury, and Erin Moriarty, a reporter from CBS's 48 Hours. A trailer for West of Memphis, a new documentary about Echols, was shown. Echols spoke of his Buddhist practice of meditation (5-7 hours a day) as one of the factors that got him through his experience. While his case is still controversial, Echols expressed his desire to be "defined by my accomplishments, not by what was done to me." After the event, Echols signed copies of his book "Life After Death."

Four Chaplains on Pluralism and Interfaith Cooperation
Brandeis University's four chaplains (Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant) came together to discuss the importance of interfaith cooperation. Through a panel discussion, they explained that while religions may have different customs and rituals, many religions share a similar sense of moral obligation to the greater society. The chaplains mentioned some of the many benefits that come with learning about another religion's practices, and explained ways in which the Brandeis community specifically supports interfaith efforts, all with the aim of interfaith cooperation to build social justice.

Keynote Address
Uganda By Way of Boston & Hollywood: A Social Justice Journey
Judy Dushku and Eliza Dushku
Judy Dushku is the founder of THRIVE Gulu; Eliza Dushku has had a significant role supporting the organization. See this page for their bios.
Actress Eliza Dushku and her mother, Suffolk University professor of politics Judy Dushku, spoke about the resilient Ugandans they met on an academic trip with Suffolk University students. The Dushkus' relationships with these former child soldiers and formerly abducted women led to their philanthropic efforts in Uganda and their therapeutic organization, THRIVE Gulu, which seeks to help them heal from trauma by telling their stories and building their self-sufficiency and self-esteem. The Dushkus reported that many of the participants want Facebook accounts, email addresses, and filmmaking skills so they can tell their stories on their own terms, knowing that being heard is a large part of healing. Ethics Center director Dan Terris moderated the audience Q&A.

Gulag Nation: North Korea and Crimes Against Humanity
A screening of the award-winning film Seoul Train, exposing the lives and deaths of North Koreans as they try to escape horrific human rights abuses in their homeland, was followed by a discussion with Dr. Sung-Yoon Lee from Tufts University. Lee pointed out that in every survey since 1972, North Korea comes in dead last as the world's worst human rights violator. In his talk, Lee correctly predicted the following Sunday's nuclear testing by North Korea, three days before it happened.

Gendered Violence is EVERYONE'S Problem
Representatives from the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center, Boston Public Health Commission, Casa Myrna, and Gay Men's Domestic Violence Project comprised a panel, moderated by Caitlin Feuer from the Heller Gender Working Group. Panelists first spoke briefly about how each organization addresses different aspects of gendered violence. During breakout sessions run by the representative of each organization, topics were explored such as the culture of violence, domestic violence in LGBTQ relationships, and to how to be an ally. Then insights from each breakout were shared with the overall audience. For example, Jenny Efimora of Casa Myrna pointed out, "Society asks 'why does the victim stay?' instead of 'why does the abuser abuse?' The former question blames the victim, putting the onus on the victim to make change."

Faculty and student panelists discussed student-generated questions as wide-ranging as "Why don't people talk about how GLBTQs were targeted as well as Jews in the Holocaust?" and "Should the common college application have a box for sexual preference?" and "How do you feel about terminology -- words (including "queer" itself) that were or are intended to be pejorative but have been reclaimed by the queer community?" In answer to the question, "How is Brandeis doing?" Professor Bernadette Brooten (NEJS) answered, "I've been here 20 years, and I've seen a lot of progress, but we still have work to do."

When Harry Met Louie: How Harry Potter Inspired a Brandeis Student
Andrew Slack '02 spoke about his social justice journey from Brandeis undergraduate to founder of the Harry Potter Alliance (HPA), an internationally-known nonprofit that calls on Harry Potter fans to apply the story's themes to real-world issues of social justice. Slack mentioned his transformative Brandeis experiences, including his Sorensen Fellowship in Northern Ireland, sociology classes with Professor Maurie Stein, and a class with Prof. David Cunningham titled "Possibilities for Change in American Communities," which included a 30-day bus trip with the 12 students and three instructors, traveling largely in the American South. Slack spoke of the work of HPA as "synthesizing personal stories, collective stories, and fantasy stories in holistic activism for systematic change," claiming that "fantasy is not an escape from our world, but an invitation to go deeper into it."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Republican presidential candidates held yet another public debate on Tuesday, and much of the talk was devoted to foreign policy. And much of the foreign policy talk was devoted to American relations with Israel, and whether or not the US should help Israel attack Iran's nuclear facilities.
Frontrunner Mitt Romney was vague on whether or not he would join Israel in a military strike on Iran, but strongly stressed his support of Israel in general. Romney said that if elected, his first foreign state visit will be to Israel.
Romney also took current US President Barack Obama to task, accusing him of being unfriendly toward Israel. Despite a strong focus on Israeli-Arab peace efforts over the course of his first term, Obama has yet to visit the Jewish state.
Former House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, who has been gaining steam in the primary race of late, also stressed his unwavering support of Israel, and said he would likely join Israel in striking Iran, but would first want to make sure there was no other option to military action.
Even if he did not commit US forces to such an attack, Gingrich said it would nevertheless be absolutly necessary to support Israel in a military strike on Iran, as not doing so would leave the Jewish state isolated and encourage an attack by its enemies.
Popular but maligned candidate Herman Cain said he, too, would support an Israeli attack on Iran, and would likely commit US forces.
The only candidate to outright reject the idea of support an Israeli strike on Iran was Ron Paul, who said he did not think Israel would take such action, anyway.
"Why does Israel need our help? We need to get out of their way," said Paul, which he clarified also meant an end to US financial aid to Israel.
"We don't even have a treaty with Israel. Why do we have this automatic commitment that we're going to send our kids and send our money endlessly to Israel? So I think they're quite capable of taking care of themselves," said Paul.
Ron Paul's objection to foreign aid to Israel or any other nation is well known. What is likely to irk most Republicans about his debate remarks is the fact that he would not use US power to help Israel in the event of a massive Iranian counter-strike.
If Israel attacks Iran "that's their business, but they should suffer the consequences," Paul said.

I was browsing through the local University's library, and came upon some books by the Santa Fe Institute on complex Systems. Unfortunately, I don't go to that library, and stuck out like a sore thumb; so I was forced to leave.
My college doesn't really have too much on chaos theory, or complex systems. This is particularly fascinating to me, does anyone know about it?

Disney's The Little Mermaid may be the best-known animated film based on Hans Christian Andersen's short story, but it was by no means the first. This Russian film, directed by Ivan Aksenchuk in 1968, uses a variety of animation styles to capture the sad tone of the tragic fairy tale, from the horrors of the mermaid's promise to the price she's willing to pay to preserve her love's life.

1 Rosewater
A common flavour in Turkish delight and other sweets, rosewater has a gentle, floral scent and adds an exotic note to custard, rice pudding and even ice-cream.
2 Burghul
More common than rice in some parts of Turkey, cracked wheat, or burghul, is steamed with onions, tomato or capsicum paste and other ingredients to make a simple, healthy pilav to serve with sauced dishes.
3 Tahini
Tahini, or sesame paste, is used in Turkish sauces and dips. It's also mixed with grape molasses as a sweet spread.
4 Tomato paste
Although fresh tomatoes are preferred, tomato paste is also used to give a strong, fruity taste to stews and casseroles.
5 Yoghurt
Continental-style yoghurt is central to Turkish cooking. It's used as an accompaniment to grilled meats and as the base for all sorts of dips and sauces.
6 Filo
For savoury and sweet pastries, such as börek and baklava, Turks use filo pastry or a finer handmade version known as yufka.
7 Walnuts, almonds and pistachios
Nuts are used in sweet pastries and pilavs, but also in tarator made with yoghurt, tahini and ground nuts.
8 Feta
Turkish cooking uses sheep and goats milk cheeses, that are similar to salty, creamy feta.
9 Paprika
Paprika is a slightly spicy red powder which gives instant zing to many Turkish dishes.
Kitchen staples
Keep these ingredients handy for making traditional Turkish fare in your own kitchen.
Fresh parsley, dill and mint are served with Turkish pizzas known as lahmacun. Fresh herbs are
also used in dips and salads and on the mezze platter.
Tomatoes, eggplants, onions, zucchini, cucumber and garlic are the main vegetables found in Turkish cooking. They're used in everything from dips and salads to fritters and casseroles. Eggplants and zucchini are also often stuffed and grilled.
Capsicum is another vegetable used regularly in Turkish cuisine. It's added to casseroles, stuffed
and grilled, or used to make biber salca, a hot roast capsicum paste that's an essential ingredient
in sauces and pilavs.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Among other things, the heavy winter storm that pounded Israel this past weekend provided an opportunity for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to demonstrate that they are well capable of defending the nation against more than just military threats.
As vehicles became hopelessly stranded on the roads of and those leading into and out of Jerusalem, authorities had only one place to turn: the army. Police were unable to reach all of the trapped motorists, and certainly could do little-to-nothing to extract snowed-in cars and trucks.
The IDF responded with convoys of armored personnel carriers that easily traversed the accumulated snow and brought blankets, food and warm drinks to the weary, but grateful motorists. During less stormy period, the heavy army vehicles began to pull those cars they could reach from the snow and ice.
Brigades of soldiers also transported and distributed food and other supplies to homes in need throughout the capital, and at least one class of future IDF officers was tasked with evacuating and assisting the city's elderly.
While the amount of snow that fell on Jerusalem might not look all that impressive, and certainly not like a national emergency to readers from colder climates, it must be remembered that Israel is ill-prepared to deal with this kind of storm, the likes of which hasn't been recorded in the region for over 100 years.
To make matters worse, over 30,000 homes in Jerusalem were cut off from the power grid during the first day of the storm, and some still haven't been reconnected. That means over 100,000 people were without light and heat for four days, in sub-zero temperatures, huddled in uninsulated homes made of a single layer of cinderblock.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have issued heartfelt thanks to the IDF, Israel Police, Israel Electric Company and other authorities, both local and national, for their tireless work during the storm.
Here are some photos of the IDF assisting the residents of Jerusalem:

Jeff Bezos has invested in Business Insider, according to an internal memo we have just obtained.
Here's the memo from Business Insider CEO and Editor-in-Chief Henry Blodget:
I wanted to share the details of the financing we mentioned last night. (Apologies for not being able to share them then — closing these things is an administrative nightmare, and it took a few hours longer than we hoped).
I'm going to post about this shortly after 10 a.m. Please don't say anything or tweet about it until after the post hits.
Basically, Jeff Bezos is making a significant investment in the company. Our existing investors are also chipping in some more. In total, we're raising $5 million. This capital will allow us to continue to invest aggressively in many areas of the business, including editorial, tech/product, sales and marketing, subscriptions, and events. As we mentioned last night, it will also allow us to expand our office.
Jeff's investment grew out of a dinner he and I had about a year ago. We talked about the business, and he was excited about it. (He sees some parallels with Amazon). A few months later, he expressed an interest in investing. My reaction was basically "Hell, yeah!"
Jeff's vision, leadership, and philosophy at Amazon have inspired a whole generation of startups and entrepreneurs, including me. Amazon has always focused on customers first, knowing that, if they do a great job at that, everything else will take care of itself. This obsession with customers and long-term focus are the reasons that Amazon has been so successful. And this philosophy is something that we very much want to emulate. (We have two sets of customers, obviously — readers and sponsors. And we're obsessed with both).
Jeff's interest, and Business Insider's extraordinary success over the past year, are due to your efforts on behalf of our readers and our clients. We have improved and grown dramatically, and we were pretty good to begin with.
Our goal is simple: To become the best digital business publication on the planet. We're making great progress toward that. And this investment will help us get there.
Thank you again for your incredible work over the past year. Here's to an even better 2013.
Here's the official announcement, which includes our new disclosure policy >

I'm somewhat envious that you have this ahead of you! Crispin made my son's first game special beyond compare when he arranged for the Forest Green Rovers stadium announcer to welcome him to the New Lawn at half time. For as long as I live I'll remember the look on my son's face as he heard his name echoing around the ground. Thanks for reminding me just how important these events are.
I'm 110% with you on this. Spot on.
such a beautiful poem – one I wish I'd written. Thanks for sharing.
It is a beautiful poem indeed.
This is such a beautiful poem Simon and incredibly moving. Thanks for posting this.
Well in Crispin.
I went to see Cefn Druids play in a cup game back in 2007. What a lovely club they are. There are a group of lads who went to Exeter Uni years ago and one day they decided to find a football club where the ground was the hardest to get to from Exeter, Cefn Druids it was, and they have a reunion once a year since that first game many moons ago!

Fox Nation Falsely Blames Hospice Layoffs on Obama Reelection
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox Nation falsely claimed that San Diego Hospice laid off 180 workers because of President Obama's reelection. But the center's chief executive explained that the audit which prompted the layoffs were due to overpayments to the care provider.
In a November 30 article titled "Americans Rocked By Another Round of Obama Reelection Layoffs," Fox Nation blamed the president's reelection as the catalyst for layoffs of 180 workers at San Diego Hospice. From Fox Nation:
In fact, San Diego Hospice layoffs had nothing to do with the president. The North County Times article that Fox Nation linked to, which titled the story "Austerity plan at San Diego Hospice brings layoffs," reported that San Diego Hospice announced they were laying off workers due to future reimbursements the company would have to make to Medicare after the company was audited for receiving overpayments. The article explained that the center improperly documented long-term patients, which is a violation of Medicare reimbursement guidelines:
Those guidelines require a hospice to serve only patients who have six months or less to live. Hospice operators are required to document each patient's declining condition and to discharge those who don't meet the guidelines.
But that did not always happen at San Diego Hospice. In some cases, patients remained in hospice care for a year or more without proper documentation.
In an interview with The San Diego Union-Tribune Chief Executive Kathleen Pacurar explained:
Pacurar said she believes San Diego Hospice is vulnerable to millions of dollars in rebates to Medicare because the program has not been strict enough in making sure that its patients are truly suffering from an illness likely to cause death within six months. She said doctors and caregivers operated for decades on an "open access" policy that kept patients on hospice care for longer than six months, sometimes without being able to demonstrate that their condition was worsening.
"We lost sight of interpreting these guidelines appropriately. We put the concept of patients, and what we were going to be able to do for them, above what the guidelines were," Pacurar said.
This is not a first offense - Fox Nation has deceptively titled headlines on layoffs in the past few weeks in order to attack President Obama. In a November 26 article, the website claimed Hostess and Murray Energy made "More Mass Layoffs after Obama Reelection" however, both article cited showed market-related reasons for the job cuts. Hostess announced liquidation due to failed union negotiations, Murray Energy and others in the coal industry are struggling under competition from the natural gas industry. Instead of explaining the reasons for these companies' difficulties, Fox Nation blamed them on Obama's reelection:

Sunday, March 21, 2010
Thank You
Thank You
God is good! I praise God because He is the only true and living God. He is MOST HIGH and there is no other above him. He is my God forever and I will serve Him continually!
I just want to thank everyone for the prayers, spiritual support, as well as kind words during this time of rest and sabbatical. I am taking my time, listening rather than speaking, while God instructs me on the next phase of my life and his ministry for me. And it's been a joyful and challenging time. I am feeling well and healthy by the grace of God. I just praise God for being the God that heals and delivers and I am resting in his promise and trusting in his Word for his PERFECT plan for me. We will have new EX Daily Words and True Church Radio broadcasts real soon, and I will begin traveling again this summer.
Also, thank you for being patient with our office as we took time off for vacation. Our office has reopened and we are ready to take your orders once again. So please feel free to purchase our products and continue to support us. We depend on your purchases and financial gifts to continue to move forward. As we approach the end of days, we believe that God is readying his people for the times. And we will do our best to equip God's people and preach his Kingdom until he return for us all.
Matt. 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Yes! Glad you are back and full of health and strength! Praise God! We missed EX Ministries so much. We are continuing to pray for you, Sabatha and all the children. God bless you all!
We praise God that you are healing and resting! We depend on this ministry to help guide us into the truth of God's word as we also depend on this ministry to confirm to us what God speaks to us. Whatever God speaks to us has ALWAYS been in line with what he speaks through you! Not only do we read God's word and hear His voice, but we receive confirmation of what we hear through your broad castings, daily words, blogs and videos. It's as if you are in our hearts and minds and KNOW these things! (Which we know is ONLY the power of God!)
May God continue to bless this ministry tremendously because this ministry stands on the truth of God's word! Thank you for allowing God to use you in ALL ways.. you truly are His vessel! We love you dearly and thank God for you and your family as well as the EX Ministries family. Although we may never meet face to face; we feel close and kindred in heart and Spirit!

Thank you so much for your hard work and praise the Lord for using you in a very powerful way! My friend and her husband just got saved watching your latest DVD, the truth behind hiphop 5. Also I just wanted to tell you I just found out that there is School of Ageless Wisdom in Arlington, TX, and that it is associated with the Lucis trust, which was founded by Alice Bailey who is like the female version of Aleister Crowley.
"End of days?" You don't hear too many preachers talking like that these days! Thanks, Pastor, for the REMINDER that these are the endtimes; those three words say it all. Time as we know it is coming to a close someday, and eternity will begin! When the Lord Jesus returns for his bride, what a Day that will be!

God bless you Minister Lewis. I have been hearing about you for years, but it was not until last week that I began to listen. My attention has been on your podcast. Thank you for letting god use you. These issue especially the issues that are concerning the body of Christ. These issues have been grieving my spirit for years. I felt so alone, but these podcast really blessed me. I am praying for you. May God continue to bless you and strengthen you and your family. May his will be done in your life.
So glad that you've been getting your much need R&R! EX-Ministries is one of the VERY few ministries that I feel I can trust to teach the true Word of God. And we need you in full health and strength. Thank you so much!!! God bless you and your family and EX-Ministries!
G Craige, glad you're back. Just wanted to ask if you could shed light on a concern of mine. People are still hiding their devilish agendas under the banner of gospel music. Please expose this issue - not just gospel hip hop but also the thing about not mentioning the name of Jesus in a song. Please also watch BeBe and CeCe's video Close To You and notice the occult symbolism, eg the devil's sign at 0:26. The always sisters forever brothers conferences that have added to the funk of megafest and all the other mass gatherings that do not bring any change to our cities and offer no discipleship.
The Winans need to be exposed and I say this not out of jealousy but out of a growing concern - "that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the eyes of God." Luke 16:15.
You've been a great blessing to me and I pray that the Lord will continue to use you.
Hey, I wanted to know if you saw this recent article on HipHopWired.com: http://hiphopwired.com/2010/03/24/the-gods-of-hip-hop-a-reflection-on-the-five-percenter-influence-on-rap-music-culture/. It speaks about and confirms a lot of the information G. Craig Lewis has been preaching about for years. I was shocked to see this information exposed on a popular website.
press on.press on,keep on keeping on.satans SOldiers are marching.where is mr.CRAIGE,sipping wine feeling the sunshine,toes in the sand his departure a grandstand.While he rest the ENEMY sprouts his chest. look at him now declares the pulpit pimp.he's not so invincible says the homosexual,lets take the stage says the ABORTIONISTS, HIS PLATFORM IS A Ssinking ship shouts the atheist.SOUND THE ALARM!

Dear G. Craig Lewis:
I would like for you to teach a series in regards to tithes and offering. From what I've read, it looks like tithing (10%) was of the old testament. That we are now to give a free will offering according to what God has placed on our hearts. I look forward to your response via your blog.
I pray God's strength and wisdom in the next phase of what He has for you. Thank you for keeping God in the forefront and preaching and teaching the truth! May the Lord give you sustained health and spiritual guidance in this last and evil day!! Keep on Keeping on IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!! AMEN!!!
Listen, family in Christ!
Don't be deceived-100% deliverance is not just "possible"-it's what God has willed for you! It is yours, not by might or by power, but by HIS SPIRIT! (Zechariah 4:6)
"It is neither him that willeth, nor he that runneth, but the LORD that showeth mercy"(Romans 9:16)
"Walk in the SPIRIT, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh" This is important to the point of being crucial, I think.(Galatians 5:16)
"But what do I do if I can't believe, and I feel so helpless, etc?"Please don't waste your own time: don't you understand you are being distracted by the enemy? Best advice I ever heard: Just grab on to what faith you have already. If you are having trouble being sorry, JUST BE SORRY YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE BEING SORRY, trust God and He will do the rest! If you are having trouble letting go of that lifestyle that does not please Him, be sorry you are having trouble, trust Him and He will do the rest!
I must be honest: on some days you will feel the glory, and on others you will feel discouragement. But guess what?
This has no relation whatsoever to how you FEEL. It is what's happening that counts. Trust God, fight your feelings with His word, and bathe your mind in it. Read it til it's coming out your ears. Read it till whenever a filthy song comes to mind, scripture takes its place AUTOMATICALLY.
Make no mistake, this is a war, and the enemy will come against your reading scripture with everything he's got.
But know this, God will come to your rescue with everything HE'S got, and He that is in you is stronger than he that is in the world.
The fight is fixed in your favor, my brother and my sister. No matter what it feels like.
You shall have a testimony. Time to "get in God's face" with prayer, fasting, and all your heart, soul, mind, strength, knowing,
"The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN IT"
Isaiah 40:5
(That scripture is just amazing.)
God bless us all, Amen.
Something I'm reading right now. Hope it helps

It was by your tongue that I received the Lords word, and gave up listening to ALL secular music.
God Almighty HAS done a Great work through you.

I am glad that you are in good health and ready to return to the field as a warrior of the Cross. Be strengthened and be prosperous in your walk with Christ.
I pray that Jesus will use you as He pleases in this time and season. May He continue to endow you with wisdom and revelation straight from the Throne. May your words destroy the kingdom of satan and uplift the Kingdom of God all around the world. Continue to seek our Lord Jesus Christ in all your ways and He will direct your paths.
God Bless You Sir!
Continually Seeking The Bible Truth,
Minister Craige,
Thank you for all of your hard work. My husband and I are ever sharing your message as well as contributing to ex-ministries once a year during our Christmas charity giving. We love to find small or large ministries that do the work of furthering the work of our Lord and Savior.
My heart sometimes feel heavy for the deep division in the body of Christ in the area of race. Too many times Black Churches are pointing an accusing finger at their White brother and sisters in Christ while Satin is continuing in his victory. I used to believe that White christians were akin to the KKK - Satin had a victory in my belief. I know it is not true and I ask you as a man of God to do work in that area. If anyone can reach Black churches in an area that is controversial, you can. I will pray for you to get this email and for you to speak to the Lord about this. We love you and God Bless you.

Hello Pastor,
May the Lord bless you sincerely. Sorry for my english. I followed your instruction on hip hop and everything he hides! I was enlightened by the Holy Spirit, it really touched me and I learned a lot. That the Holy Spirit teaches you that you use again and again for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let me ask you a question Pasteur. Currently, some assemblies are divided because of the tithe. Some say you should give it as a statute forever and others say that we should give more because we are no longer under law but under grace of the Lord Jesus. It's a big controversy here in France. I find it unfortunate that we dwell on a topic like this but I would like to know if the Lord has already informed you about it. Mind you, I do not take a soothsayer or a being superior to others, but I just want an outside opinion of a brother in Christ which is totally alien to French soil. I warn you beforehand that I would be on my side in prayer so as not to be influenced by your answer but whatever the Holy Spirit that convinces me ...
In advance thank you again and bless you Pastor Craige, the Lord pours upon you divine favor, amen
I believe in your message and pray that the Lord protect you from the wiles of the enemy, unto salvation and eternal life. Be blessed by God the Father and may you continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
I thank God for you, your preaching has really helped me. Thanks to you, I now know what the Holy Gohost feels like. What I'm making refernce to is some visiting preachers I have heard, I don't remember a thing they say after service. All I remember was the time that he screamed or pushed sombody over. Half the time I didn't listen. But with you, I sat on the couch and did not move for nearly the entire two hours. Then when I went left home for college, I found a church with a preacher who did the same thing as you. To add to this I remembered the key points of his message a month later. Now to be clear he was a white guy, but now I clearly know the difference between a Holy Gohst message and a emotional outburst with Jesus no where to be found.
God Bless in Jesus' name.

OMG! " TRUE CHURCH" We must put the word of the Lord over every act of evil that is being done and said. JESUS SAID, "The words I speak are spirit and life." When we pray according to the word of God HE (GOD) sends his word to accomplish what He will. The word of God is not bound though we are limed the word of GOD is ever moving to set in order the things HE spoke before the earths foundation. So believers of the word of life get busy doing what HE has called you to do "PRAY THAT THE LORD OF THE HARVEST SEND TRUE LABORERS INTO THE VINEYARD."
I Think what G Craige is doing is great and am know using the information I have gathered from his dvd to teach others around me.

Thanks for sharing the truth with others. Annie Dennis Eskridge, author of Sin Abides..
Dear Minister and Brother Craig
Be strong in the spirit of the Lord, I stayed up very late(or early) reading alot of things on your site, I have been preaching Gods truth for the last ten years, and pastoring and evangelizing for the past four years. my Brother it is a tuff road, paul said at his first defense no man stood with him, the calling of a true prophet is a natural lonely calling, the true word cuts, pierces and pricks, some lash back as they did when they killed stephen, some repent as they did when peter preached in acts. Think of moses, Jeremiah, Daniel,Issaiah, elisha, and elijah. These brothers rebuked kings. Neamiah was heavy duty and bold in the spirit, God sees and knows the intent of your heart,and God is on your side, and if God is for you, who can be against you, sometimes its best at times not to explain yourself, I work construction and I bump my head and cut myself and trip and fall and hit my fingers with a hammer alot, and I dont explain myself to anyone as to why, I am human and I still press on and get the job done and do it right, the end result is new and or restored and or fixed, sometimes a touch up return is needed but none the less it is well done, as long as the Lord Jesus says well done thats all that counts. Remember that with all the exposure the enemy wants to sidetrack you, stay humble stay consistent stay prayed up and fasted up. I watch people go alot because I do not compromise the word of God and I do not tollerate wordly agendas within the work of God and the great commission in which he has called me to persue, it is an honor and a privilage and a great responsibility to be a servant of God, but we must press on. The hip hoppers hate us but Jesus told us this would be so, the compromising pastors hate us but they are not of us, in these last days many false prophets shall arise, jokers, deceived and deceiving, they will be consumed by their own wickedness, press on, Love your wife and children and first and foremost the Lord, preach with boldness and with trust in the Lord to direct you and lead you. We will keep you in our prayers, and if God willing we will meet one day, if not here on earth we will definately meet in heaven.
Sincerely: Pastor/Evangelist/Gods redeemed child/

Dear Pastor: Many are called but few are chosen. You are chosen.(As if you didn't know). Praise the God of Abrham for yourself and your family for taking the sacrifice..I have learned so much from raised in Chicago, Hollywwod, Las Vegas and now Long Beach. I have been in the business all my life and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't make it. I read your messages and now I know why. Africa Bambaatta and I met in Las Vegas and he swore I was gonna be a labelmate and it never happened. Whew, he was on his way back to New York to start hiphop. Thank you Lord we fell out of touch. I have sang behind some of the biggest celebrities in H.wd and it baffeled me why I cound't get a contract!!!Joe Jackson was one of the last in met before running from Vegas when I recognized it was so spiritually dry and takin my money. Thank God I had real home training on who the evil one was or I would have died in that spirit. Literally. I still know some of the oldster's from back in the day and I was wondering would God cruch me if I do gospel.

To much sin in gods house church folk have really under estimated the devil. were running out of time work while its day because night time is upon us preach people out of darkness. beware when all men speak well of you. truth will make folk hate you as a pastor i know truth will bring out the freaks people will freak out when when tell them the truth. DONT STOP KEEP PREACHING pastor terry jefferson word of revelation ministries.
From Lenear at firstname.lastname@example.com
First I like to thank the HOLY SPIRIT for using you to bring the truth. I know for me it's confirmation because God has been revealing the same thing way before I heard of your ministry. I'm also a converted artist who raps about the kingdom of God. And as I was praying one day I felt in my spirit to ask you to review my music. I know it sounds crazy but God showed me who I am and HIS calling in my life. I left my email so that if the HOLY SPIRIT ever moves you to contact me please do so. I pray many blessings for you and once again keep on letting GOD use you.
I thank God for you Bro. Lewis Keep preaching the word of God faithfully, May God continue to bless you your family and ministry.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. --The Coast Guard says it has located the wreckage of a Learjet that plunged into the Atlantic ocean off the Florida coast while en route to Mexico and that at least two people have died. They are continuing to search for two others who were aboard.
The Coast Guard said in a news release late Tuesday that a boat crew located the wreckage approximately 2 miles northeast of Fort Lauderdale International Airport, the plane's departure point.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said in an email that the Mexican-registered Learjet 35 was en route to Cozumel, Mexico, with four people on board, including two pilots. She says the plane went down about 8:15 p.m.

In a September 4, 2008, press release, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology urged Louisiana citizens and legislators to repeal the recently enacted "Science Education Act" in their state, writing, "The Act was drafted under the guise of 'academic freedom'
With the addition of Steven K. Nordeen on September 5, 2008, NCSE's Project Steve attained its 900th signatory. A tongue-in-cheek parody of a long-standing creationist tradition of amassing lists of "scientists who doubt evolution" or "scientists who dissent from Darwinism," Project Steve mocks such lists by restricting its signatories to scientists whose first name is Steve (or a cognate, such as Stephanie, Esteban, Istvan, Stefano, or even Tapani -- the Finnish equivalent).
"Eroding Evolution," a new article in the July/August 2008 issue of Church and State, addresses the recently enacted "Science Education Act" in Louisiana, which threatens to open the door for creationism and scientifically unwarranted critiques of evolution to be taught in public school science classes.

Hip-hop royalty descended on a Manhattan funeral home yesterday to pay tribute to Chris Lighty, who managed some of rap's biggest acts before his shocking suicide last week.
With stars like Sean "Diddy" Combs, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, 50 Cent, Q-Tip, LL Cool J, Russell Simmons and Grandmaster Flash on hand, the only thing missing from the Frank E. Campbell chapel on the Upper East Side was a red carpet.
Struggling to pay huge bills, Lighty, 44, shot himself last Thursday after an argument with his wife, Veronica, who filed for divorce last year. He was preparing to move out of their West 232nd Street home at the time.
But mourners who remembered Lighty as a generous family man spent more time talking about how he lived.
"He called when he could have e-mailed," said music and fashion mogul Simmons.
"He set up meetings when he could have called. He was always there for people."
Simmons paid a special tribute with an online "love letter."
"He was the bridge that protected the culture, while shaping and curating the truth that was born from it," Simmons wrote.
"These street kids were mostly without father figures (or at least successful father figures) and many looked to Chris to make sense of their success. Somehow he made it look easy."
It was anything but easy. Friends said Lighty was obviously struggling in the days before his death.
Hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash said he wished Lighty had reached out to him for help.
"It's really sad," he said.
Hundreds of mourners filled the Madion Avenue chapel, and dozens more spilled into the street.
Guests, including Mary J. Blige, Busta Rhymes and the reclusive Hill, filed past Lighty's open casket.
"I wasn't surprised at this turnout," Lighty's daughter, Deja, said. "My dad was a popular guy. I'll remember him as a big kid and a goofball."
Rapper Papoose said he'll remember Lighty as a caring exec.
"He meant a lot to me," he said. "He's the guy I sent my tapes to, and he helped me get a record deal. When you work hard on your own, Chris sees that and gets you across the finish line.
"He was a backbone to hip-hop. He was the best person to go to for advice. He would always respond to a phone call or e-mail."
Meanwhile, forensic pathologist Michael Baden said yesterday that he performed a second autopsy at the request of relatives, who suspect the death was not a suicide.

Now one would ask why write a library that is useful only temporarily? Why not include at once all the parts needed in the final product? There can be several reasons:
- something that is only a part of the scaffolding in one project can stay in the final solution in another one
- the author of the library might not yet fully understand the problem, and it can take years to reach the right abstraction
- the distribution of possibly needed modification can be so uniform that there is no reason to concentrate on one of them more than on another one and it is virtually impossible to cover them all
- and finally: nothing is forever - you never know where a project will go in the future and what you'll need to change
A good example (of the third point) are code samples from manuals - you copy them to quickly get something working - but later you modify it and sometimes you change every character from the original. Another one can be the scaffolding code in Rails - you can debate if it fits the first or the second or other points - but it was useful to a lot of people.
Every library can be used as scaffolding - so why not accept this and help the developers in using it that way?

Today I am going to a show where they are having a health clinic. I am mainly going to have his heart checked (asculation only since so far vet has not heard murmur). The cardiologist is the same one I am going with my friend on Tuesday with her cavalier who I've been talking about with MVD.
I know these clinics are mainly for breeder's and CERF certifications etc. but pet owners can take advantage. They are having standard testing, eyes, BAER, hips, patellas etc. and microchips. Elton gets regular vet checks but should I get his hips and patellas checked? I had the vet check last time but what would you do? I think his hearing is fine and eyes are too except an ulceration (I think) hes had it since I got him and vet said its fine.
Just want make the most of our trip.

UPPER EAST SIDE — In this war between kings, victory is sweet.
Two celebrated French patisseries across the street from each other on the Upper East Side — Maison Kayser and FP by Francois Payard — are offering their take on king cake just in time for Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, this Sunday.
The traditional circular cake is made up of a flaky pastry exterior and an almond cream filling, with a small toy hidden inside. There are many different versions of the cake around the world, including the colorful, cinnamon-filled king cake popular in New Orleans.
At Maison Kayser, at 1294 Third Ave., bakers experimented with the order of the recipe steps and the role of butter in the puff pastry, resulting in a chewier, more moist dessert, said Nicolas Chevrieux, executive pastry chef.
"It's softer," Chevrieux said in French. "It takes longer to savor."
Kayser also used California almonds and Madagascar vanilla in the cake.
"They're the best quality in the world," Chevrieux said of the nuts. "And the vanilla is a little sweeter."
Though there are various versions of King's cake throughout the world — including the sugar-topped, cinnamon-laden approach popular in New Orleans — the traditional galette is made up of a flaky pastry exterior and an almond cream filling. Typically hidden in the galette is a "fève" — a small item such as a toy or a small plastic baby — and the individual who discovers the "fève" gets crowned King.
Responding to safety concerns — namely, that a toy hidden in a cake might pose a choking hazard — several favors come on the side of Kayser's pastry. The toys are small tiles with photos and philosophic sayings, Chevrieux said.
"It expresses the spirit of baking," he said. "It's very cute."
Kayser's king cake costs $5.95, $28 and $35 for individual, six-person and eight-to-10-person sizes.
At FP Patisserie, located right across the street from Kayser at 1293 Third Ave., those who try the king cake will discover not a toy but rather one of celebrity chef Francois Payard's signature macarons hidden inside.
Other than that substitution, the king cake does not stray from the time-tested traditional approach, said assistant manager Amelie Oger.
"It's a classic pastry," Oger said in French. "It's the same as in France."
Payard's prices are $35, $45 and $55 for six-person, eight-person and 10-person king cakes.
Both bakeries' cakes come with crowns.

Star Trek Starfleet Necklace
The Final Frontier
- Stainless steel Star Trek symbol necklace
- Sleek, iconic design on metal chain
- Inspired by the communicator badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation
There's more to Starfleet than seeking out new life and civilizations. You've got to spend time teaching the replicators how to make your favorite homemade foods. It's also important to bond with the rest of the crew while enjoying some Romulan Ale. And even if you're soaking up the rays on Risa while on shore leave, it's nice to wear a little trinket that reminds you of your greater purpose.
This Starfleet insignia necklace is made of stainless steel and hangs on a 24" chain. The circular base is reminiscent of the Next Generation-era communicator badges, and it has an element which looks like a captive bead as part of the design.
Starfleet Necklace
- Starfleet insignia necklace with 24" chain
- Inspired by the communicator badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation
- A perfect gift for jewelry-loving Trek fans
- Officially licensed Star Trek jewelry
- Materials: Stainless Steel
- Dimensions: 1.25" x 0.75" pendant, 24" chain
For our customers with nickel allergies: this pendant and the chain are made of nickel-free stainless steel.

Yet the most notable piece of clothing after the Dodgers beat the last-place Nationals, 10-3, was the cap of manager Joe Torre, now en route to Cooperstown as a memento of a 13th home win to open a season.
Never mind that the actual Major League record for such achievements is 21, set in 1880 by the Chicago White Stockings. It had been so widely reported that the Dodgers were tied with the 1911 Detroit Tigers for the modern-day record that a celebration apparently was anticipated, with the ordered postgame meal being sizzling prime steaks catered by Ruth's Chris, served on white tablecloths in the clubhouse food room.
"I'm glad we got it, only because it becomes a distraction and you get to the point where it's all you're shooting for," Torre said. "Then maybe you have a letdown even if you don't realize it. Hopefully, this is a stepping-stone on the way to something more important."
The Dodgers ran their overall win streak to seven, have won eight of the past nine and are 19-5 since a 2-3 start. They lead the National League West by 6 1/2 games, their largest lead since 2004. This one was the kind of victory the Dodgers have been grinding out this year, a 2-1 game blown open with a seven-run sixth inning with contributions up and down the lineup.
"We just kept coming at them all night," Torre said. "It was a little touch-and-go for a while."
Starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw made so many pitches (99) he was gone after five innings, just long enough to qualify for his first victory of the year. James McDonald made his first relief appearance since losing his starting job to Jeff Weaver and pitched a perfect inning, looking as he did last October. Left-hander Brent Leach made his Major League debut with a scoreless ninth inning and received a shaving-cream pie in the face from fellow lefty Will Ohman.
Offensively, Rafael Furcal finally looked like the leadoff hitter he was before back surgery, with three hits and three runs scored. Russell Martin, who came into the game hitting .222, also had three hits. The first six hitters in the lineup had RBIs and the game became a blowout with a seven-run sixth inning that included a two-run double by self-proclaimed "double maniac" Manny Ramirez and a two-run single by James Loney.
"It's the consistency of our offense, pitching and defense," Martin said. "We haven't made many mistakes. We're not helping the other team out at all. We're bringing the game to the other team."
Torre, who has tried to deflect the importance of the streak, said he was just glad the Dodgers didn't take the Nationals for granted.
"The only thing you're uneasy about was everybody's assuming they're a pushover because they haven't got a good record [7-18], but last year on the road trip, they swept us in Washington," Torre said. "They're offensive-minded with guys who can hit home runs. In order for us to win, we have to pitch. It wasn't pretty, I'm just glad Kershaw got outs when he did."
Kershaw's night started with a 31-pitch first inning that included loading the bases and striking out the side. He had five strikeouts by the second inning, none after. He's allowed just two runs in 19 innings at home (0.95 ERA), compared to 16 runs in 14 innings on the road (10.29).
"We're not going 81-0 at home," predicted Kershaw. "Sooner or later, it's going to happen. I don't think anybody really cares about the streak. We just want to build as big a lead as possible, especially with the other teams in our division scuffling."
Torre was able to use the hefty lead to get work for McDonald and Leach, the former trying to bounce back, the latter looking to make his debut.
"I made a slight adjustment and went back to the way I used to be," said McDonald, who lost his starting job because of an 8.16 ERA. "I just can't be so nitpicky. I have to be aggressive with the hitters and remember not to be afraid of contact, don't nibble. I just need that mindframe, the attack the hitters. I got that aggressiveness back to challenge guys. Before, I would catch myself thinking negatively before I was even on the mound. I have to go out and feel confident."
Leach finally got in a game after sitting since Saturday.
"Just count your blessings that you're here," he said. "Remember it's the same 60 feet, six inches you've been pitching all along."

Manny Ramirez is one of the best players in the Major Leagues. What this blogger does not understand is why these guys need ROIDS at all. He is a good ball player (and I am biting my tounge as a yankee fan saying this)
Speaking of Yankees, maybe they KNEW this information on Manny already, and thus, the real reason why they never picked him up. AROD, PETITE, GIAMBI I guess were enough. (Did I miss anyone?)
Ok, with that said, here's the plan - google: MLB Top Home Run Hitters, TOP RBI Leaders, and then see what their ROOKIE CARD Looked like :)

No matter how I configure my Samsung SSD, it does not automatically
enter a standby or sleep mode. It does with with hdparm -y/-Y
manually, but that's the only way. And of course during the next
reader it's automatically activated again. hdparm -B is "not
supported", hdparm -S does not seem to have any effect, with 1/253/254
settings. I've used lm-profler to find and stop any accesses to the
I'm using the sata_sil24 driver with a Sil 3531 SATA controller and as
stated a SAMSUNG SSD 830 with firmware CXM03B1Q. By the way, hdparm -I
tells me that it doesn't support DIPM, unfortunately. I've tested
Linux kernels up to 2.8-rc2.
The reason it's important to me is that I found out the system uses >1
W less power with the SSD in standby mode. And while the SSD uses less
power during disk access, the disk idle power usage is actually higher
now than previously with my plain old spinning hard disk.
Mostly I post fixes, this is just a problem I have. I would appreciate
any hints in the comments. Thanks!
