Hello,For those of you who live a long distance away from an Orthodox church, to the point you can go only once a month or even less frequently - how did/does that affect your journey to Orthodoxy as an inquirer? A catechumen? A new Orthodox Christian? How do you live out your faith and spiritual disciplines? How do you build and sustain relationships with your priest and members of your far-away parish? Do you keep up any involvement with your former local church(es) and non-Orthodox Christians? Do you have opportunities to meet and mix with other Orthodox Christians and inquirers in your area (who may be associated with parishes other than your own)?The Orthodox church I attend is three hours drive away - I've been twice so far and can really only get there every 2-3 months at best. The priest there has taken me under his wing - we correspond mostly by email and he's patiently teaching me, but it's going to be a long slow process. Apart from him and his wife and a few other New Zealand-based Orthodox Christians I've met through church services, the only other Orthodox Christians I have contact with are through forums like this one. I'm at the inquirer stage and still involved with my local church. However, I've pretty much reached the point where I cannot in all good conscience continue to worship in and receive Protestant doctrine I no longer agree with, or participate in neutered, stripped-down sacraments. Every Sunday I long to be where my heart already is, worshipping God through the Divine Liturgy, with the rest of the body both here and above. How did/do you cope?ThanksDeborah
Have you asked the priest to help you find someone who lives around you and could give you a ride to church?We've been giving a college student a ride to church on Sundays and during Lent and Holy Week etc. for a couple of years now. I'd be glad to do the same for anyone.
Take a breath, read Ecclesiastes 1:9.
Watch recorded Divine Liturgies on the Internet if you can not get a live Liturgy. We do this whenever we don't have money for gas or my wife or I am ill and can not attend Liturgy. It is nice because every liturgy has a lesson in the priests sermons that help us to stay up on Orthodox teaching.Thomas
Wherever there is an Orthodox person, there is the Church. The Church exists in your home, and you are the Church.There is a kind of martyrdom when we cannot participate in the holy Eucharist because of distance; then we participate in the prayers of saints like Mary of Egypt or Seraphim of Sarov, who were able only rarely to share in the Body and Blood of Christ. But always they could participate in the Spirit, wherever they were; and so can we.The Church begins in your home. The father is the priest of the house, and it is the mother's home. She can initiate the prayers--like in a Jewish family at Sabbath. So the family can exercise Orthodox faith and life at home, even where there is no congregation nearby. And there are prayers for the various times of day (if anyone wants to say them) and even for midnight. Also, Orthodox Christians have icons at home as reminders that the church begins at home. Even catechumens are already participating in the Church and are the Church.
Thanks for this thread - there's a lot of insight,m which is helpful because I find myself in a similar position. Is it possible to become a long-distance catechumen, or otherwise do large parts of the process remotely?
What I did for a long time was simply get my hands on as many books as I could and spent a lot of time researching on the internet. Outside that, I really don't have much advice. Due to my work, I still don't get to attend nearly as much as I would like and my church is only 45 minutes away. But you have something I didn't at the beginning, a spiritual father. Mine came into the picture later.
short answer: do it slowly!<snip>remember this difficult time. it is important in your spiritual growth.then when you are orthodox in the future and are deciding whether or not to leave your nice bed early on sunday morning after a busy week to attend divine liturgy, you will remember that you did not always have the blessing of meeting with God Himself in the sacrements.you will forget whoever it was in church who annoyed you last week, forgive them, repent of your own sins and get out and receive the blessing!
i, personally did continue to go to protestant churches for ages (partly because of family issues) and now, when i infrequently visit them, i look upon it as a chance to share orthodoxy but i remember how waiting for the right time to become orthodox was really difficult towards the end. i did keep taking protestant communion (i didn't realise how different it was back then) because it was still for me a time to repent and pray and worship.i don't do that now, not just because of the wish not to ignore / disobey my spiritual leaders, but also because it gives the message that the theology is nearly the same. (it's similar, but the misunderstanding that the Holy Body and Blood are just symbols is important to correct).
In the coarse vernacular of the day: doing Orthodoxy long distance sucks. It is a religion that by its nature – the transmission of tradition, etc. — demands the neophyte be a part of a community, and when one is not often allowed to participate in the life of the community vis-à-vis the liturgical feasts and cycles of the church, there is a certain temptation toward despair or even anger that the Church's missionary impulse has not yet pulsed its way into your area. I am not saying it is a right or appropriate feeling, only a temptation.But from here I will speak only from my own experience. For a while I inquired at the closest Orthodox church while still being involved with my in-laws congregation. I experienced no small amount of cognitive dissonance and gave myself no small amount of grief by not severing those ties completely once I had made the decision to become Orthodox. It did not help that at the time the parish at which I was inquiring did not have a full-time priest for six months in the middle of that first year.At the time, my job did not allow me to attend many services due to the distance (an unfortunate situation in which I once again find myself), and so I often felt like I was left to my own devices and prayerbooks I did not fully comprehend. (Those prayerbooks turned out to be better teachers of Orthodoxy than much of the literature that is otherwise available.) Nonetheless, I persevered, and after a move that made breaking away from the family church much easier than otherwise, eventually started attending another long-distance Orthodox Church where my catechesis could be more fully developed.That was also not very fun, but I was able to attend more regularly and am now happily Orthodox.Now, all of this is not to give some boiled-down version of a particularly boring conversion story. It is to offer a couple of pieces of advice: --Once you have made your mind, do not delay in severing ties with your old faith community; lingering only breeds resentment or pain and makes the parting that much harder.--Don't try to adopt too many spiritual exercises without some kind of counsel. People doing Orthodoxy solo create a very goofy religion unto themselves (cf. OC.net archives). The flip side of that advice is to avoid going too far across the road and ending up in the ditch of desiring a goofy level spiritual micro-management with which your priest likely doesn't want to deal. --Network, if I can use so gross a word, as much as you can. Even if they don't live in your town or attend your parish, knowing other Orthodox Christians is a boon in a non-Orthodox society.--Attend services as often as you are able. Talk to the people while you're there. Be sure to speak with them the next time you attend. Rinse and repeat. See above point: it is possible the members of your far-away parish may be able to direct you to someone who lives a little closer.-Pray.
thanks for the feedback, deborah.one other tip other people have posted on this forum is to share yr journey with yr closest friends in yr church.several people have regretted how hiding their thoughts with their friends has damaged those friendships.
i just used to mention it whenever a related subject came up (among my mainly protestant friends. i knew a few catholics as well, most of whom were also ignorant of church history).eg. fasting; whenever anyone mentioned the Lord's fast at the start of His ministry, i would explain about lent.or if anyone mentioned other religions fasting, i would explain that the early Christian church had set fasts as well as spontaneous ones.if i got tired that no one mentioned fasting for several weeks, i would mention it whenever anyone mentioned prayer. so maybe someone would say: 'prayer is very effective', then i would add; 'yes, especially when you pray and fast'.if anyone mentioned church history (my friends were ignorant that there was any of this between 33a.d. and 1500a.d.) then i would add: 'and you know the whole church was orthodox, catholic and evangelical for the first 400 years!' and then maybe explain that i was examining the history of what beliefs it was that united so many people for such a long time.if anyone mentioned suffering, i would direct them to orthodox sermons, explaining that a church with a long history of dealing with suffering is best equipped to guide us in this matter.i would also make a point of agreeing with the beliefs we had in common, and telling my friends i will pray for them, or asking for prayer. still, none of my friends have followed me into orthodoxy, so maybe there are things i could do better! so i look forward to other people's posts for more advice.
Dear Deborah,My wife and I have been commuting a long ways to church since 1999. We have found it useful to use reader services. You may wish to ask your priest about doing them in lieu of vespers and liturgy. Although nothing replaces that spectacular sensation of being immersed in Heaven, the reader services will go a long way towards nourishing your starving soul. Also, 1st, 3rd and the other hours are very comforting and strengthening.You may also wish to visit http://www.assemblyofbishops.org/directories/parishes just to make sure that there is nothing closer to you than three hours. All the best, Dan

Odyssey White Ice Putters
From Golf Magazine (June 2011)
Odyssey White Ice Dart
Category: High-MOI Mallet Putters
We tested: 34", 35" shaft length
Key Technologies: "D.A.R.T." stands for "Direction And Realignment Technology." Its "advanced roll technology" includes a low, deep CG to reduce backspin. The multilayer face insert delivers similar response to the White Hot insert, the hardness of White Hot XG, and a louder sound than White Hot, White Hot XG or White Hot Tour.
OUR TESTERS SAY: One of the top-rated putters; its touch and forgiveness make it suitable for everyone.
DISTANCE CONTROL: Very good speed control; putter allows you to hit with the same stroke, with no adjustments; consistent, repeatable, accurate.
FEEL: Soft, smooth, responsive; easy to determine misses; unlike many others, this soft face insert provides plenty of feedback.
LOOK: For such a complicated look, it's easy to line up – sightlines force you to make the correct aim; it gets you to line up to the center back of the ball.
Some testers find the alignment aid too visually distracting; a few guys prefer a bit more consistency on mis-hits.
Have you tried this club? Tell us what you think here.
From Golf Magazine (ClubTest, April 2010)
Odyssey White Ice Mini T
Category: High-MOI Mallet Putters
We tested: 35" shaft length
Company line: "Mini T offers a high moment of inertia and 'Hi-Def Linear' alignment in a smaller, less progressive shape than our Teron putter. The Mini T has a firmer multi-layer face insert than White Hot XG putters to complement softer Tour balls."
PROS: One of the best in its category; reliable distance control; accurate and forgiving; balanced feel, even on mis-hits; great feedback on center strikes; easy to stroke; handsome black gunmetal finish is a plus; consistent sound at impact; lining up is a breeze, multilevel alignment device proves useful; a majority of testers find that it generates an online roll no matter where on the face you hit it.
CONS: Testers prefer a little more feedback on mis-hits; a few guys notice a performance dropoff on slight misses.
Odyssey White Ice 2-Ball
Category: Midsize Mallet Putters
We tested: 35" shaft length
Company line: "The new White Ice insert is our best feeling multilayer insert yet. Developed through extensive work with Tour players, our engineers improved the sound, responsiveness and consistency of the insert."
Our Testers say:
PROS: One of the top performers; the rear weighting reduces twisting on mis-hits; among the best from short range; the ball seems to come off rolling immediately; easy to aim and square-up at impact; the elegant new finish is a lot nicer than the old one; makes you believe that you can sink a few more 5-10 footers per round; a nice upgrade to the previous model; some testers will consider purchasing it.
CONS: A handful of panelists prefer more "click" at impact; the face-balanced head doesn't work well with everyone's stroke; even today, a few guys don't love the 2-ball alignment.
$129-$180, odysseygolf.com
From Golf Magazine (December 2009)
In 2010, pro golfers will be required to play newly mandated "competition" grooves in short irons and wedges (more specifically, in clubs with 25° or more of loft).
You might not realize it, but the rule change could affect your putter choice. Consider this: New conforming grooves generate less spin on shots from rough than current grooves do. Switching to a softer Tour ball might be one way for pros to regain some spin.
Odyssey's brass is banking on this scenario. The firm's new White Ice putters feature a firmer face insert (than the White Hot XG) to complement softer Tour balls. The multilayer face has the same outer material (thermoplastic elastomerurethane blend) as in the White Hot XG, while the inner material (a different thermoplastic elastomer compound) is twice as stiff. Bottom line: Putts sound louder (for a longer period) than they do with the White Hot XG but softer than with the Black Series putters. Ball speeds with White Ice are marginally faster than White Hot XG and comparable to the Black Series.
The 8-gram insert (it saves close to 60 grams versus steel) contributes to more weight low and rear, for improved roll. Five models (pictured) are in shops now, while additional flavors debut in February.

Cerita rakyat from Nusa Tenggara Barat
Princess Mandalika
Once upon a time, there was a kingdom in Lombok Island that was ruled by a king named Raja Tonjang Beru. He was a wise king. He had a queen named Dewi Seranting. He also had a beautiful daughter named Princess Mandalika. It is said that princess Mandalika was the prettiest girl in the whole island. Everybody knew about Princess Mandalika's beauty and kindness, even the people from other kingdom around the island.
Princes from all over the place wanted to marry her. One by one, they came to propose her. Princess Mandalika was a kind girl. She hated to make people sad. So, when those princes came to propose her, she was very confused. She could not decide, and she didn't want to make them sad. She also didn't want to cause a war to happen because of her.
To solve the problem, Raja Tonjang Beru then held a competition in Seger Kuta beach. He asked all the princes to take part in archery competition. The rule was simple; whoever shot the target perfectly will be accepted as Princess Mandalika's future husband. One by one, all participants tried their best. After some time, there was no winner. All the participants were great in archery.
Because there was no a winner, all the participants started to argue. They claimed to be the best. The argument was getting hotter. Finally, they all were fighting. Soon, the fighting got bigger. It was like a war, because all the princes brought their soldiers in the archery competition. Princess Mandalika was really worried. She did not want the war to get bigger and hurt many people. Finally, she had an idea. "Everybody, listen up! I know you all love me and want me to be your wife. But I don't want you to fight because of me. And I don't want you to be sad either. I want you all to have me, but not as your wife. I want to be someone that everybody can have," said Princess Mandalika.
Raja Tonjang Beru and all other people in the beach did not understand what she meant. The king then came to her. But suddenly, Princess Mandalika jumped to the sea. She disappeared in the big waves. Everybody was surprised. It was chaos on the beach. All the princes tried to swim to find the princess, but they found nothing.
After several hours trying to search the princess, suddenly they found a lot of colorful sea worms on the beach. Raja Tonjang Beru then realized that his daughter had returned as sea worms. The worms were then called nyale. Until now, people in Lombok always try to catch nyale. Nyale is very delicious and that is why a lot of people come to Lombok to catch it. However, they can only find it once a year, in February or March. The tradition to catch the sea worms is called Bau Nyale.***

International consultation on workers' health coverage
Place: FAO Headquarters, Rome, Italy
Date: 19–21 November 2014
The aim of ICN2 is to create consensus on how to address major nutrition challenges—including undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies and overweight—with a view to achieving the global nutrition targets by 2025 set by the World Health Assembly.
Key goals
A key goal is to achieve coherence between food supply and public health policies, as they both contribute to food and nutrition security. Participants will also examine the best ways of scaling up proven interventions for tackling all forms of malnutrition.
ICN2 will identify public policy priorities at the national and global levels. It will be the first high-level intergovernmental conference on nutrition since the first International Conference on Nutrition was organized by FAO and WHO in 1992.
Participants will include experts from food and agriculture, health and other sectors as well as United Nations agencies and other intergovernmental organizations, civil society, researchers, the private sector and consumer associations.
ICN2 is jointly organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization and WHO, in collaboration with:
- the World Food Programme (WFP)
- the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD)
- the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
- the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
- the World Bank
- the World Trade Organization (WTO)
- the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)
- the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
- the United Nations Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN)
- the UN Secretary-General's High Level Task Force on Global Food Security (HLTF).

The first Westknits collection is well underway. With almost all the samples completed, I was happy to have a photoshoot today with some friends. I photographed about 5 or 6 of the new designs and figured I'd share what we were up to. You won't get a full reveal until late summer/early fall, but here are some sneak peak photos from the shoot.
My East Coast tour starts this weekend in Philadelphia. All the details are in my last blog post here. I can't wait to chat and knit with tons of new knitters!

Is that not what this whole photography thing is all about??? The first memory I have of picking up a camera for any purpose beyond simply documenting what was occurring in front of me was to simply share with others. Share the beauty. Share the wonder. Share the ridiculous. Share the inspiring. Share something that made someone say "wow". Share something that made someone want to go and explore their backyard, go adventuring and lose t
While some things have changed about my approach to photography, one thing remains constant–and that is my desire to share with others that which I see. I am fortunate to see crazy cool stuff in unbelievable locations all over the world. I count myself lucky each and every day.
This image reminded me of that this morning. Shot deep in the Trinity Alps of northern California, this locale felt like something out of a fairy tale. Skinning through old growth forests plastered with moss and lichen–so cool!
A telephoto lens was key in compressing the scene, enhancing the layers of forest, and filling the frame with color and texture. Understand your equipment, and how it can help you maximize each location and each shooting opportunity. Know what you want, and have the technical backing to go out and get it. Finally, share! Share your work. Share your vision. Inspire and be inspired!

Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin. This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS. Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they say, one thing at a time. Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz, riastradh, me, and groo.

From the British Museum Blog
Sarah Price and Xavier Duffy, Museum Assistants / February 14, 2011
Early in January we travelled to Bonn, the venue of the previous Afghanistan exhibition to assist with the de-installation and transport of the objects to London. In the British Museum we will be responsible for installing Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World and it has been months in the planning. Our trip to Bonn was the first time we would actually see the objects rather than in the photographs we'd been carefully studying. It was also our first opportunity to meet the eight Afghan couriers who accompany the exhibition and who we will be working with closely in London.
It was then with a sense of anticipation and nervous excitement that we arrived at the museum to start work. We were able to look around the exhibition before de-installation began and this was a valuable chance to see what the objects are actually like and how they can be displayed.
One object that surprised us was the gold crown from Tillya Tepe that features on the British Museum exhibition poster. It is a most beautiful, delicate piece and had been cleverly displayed in Bonn. We were puzzled by how this object might be packed for transport given its fragile nature. The answer came when the conservator started dismantling it.
The crown's shape is given by the mount it sits on during display. The top five sections come loose and are detached from the headband which itself then lies flat. Each piece had a series of loops on the back which thread onto corresponding spikes on the mount. These six sections are held in place with pins in travel boxes to stop them from moving during their journey to London.
Once all the objects had been safely packed into their crates it was time to transport the cargo to London with us and the Afghan delegation always close at hand. After a long day travelling across Europe the crates would still have to be unloaded at the British Museum. However, the Heavy Object Handling team and members of the Middle East department were thankfully on hand to assist with this final part of the process. The crates were placed in a secure storage area where they will remain until the (much anticipated) time comes to open them up and remove the objects for display in London.
Meeting the Afghan couriers was a great pleasure and assisting them with the de-installation of the exhibition in Bonn will certainly ensure the smooth running of the installation at the British Museum.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today encouraged all residents to take a new online survey as part of the City's "Taking Charge" budget initiative. The City worked with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center to create the survey, which simulates the decisions policy-makers face in developing the 2011-2012 budget. The survey at lincoln.ne.gov will be available through Wednesday, June 15.
"What I learned in developing my first four budgets is that a high measure of public consensus is essential," Beutler said. "People need to understand the choices we face and be part of the solution. We needs everyone at the decision-making table. To move forward on a vision of Lincoln's future, we need consensus on what City services we want, what we can do without and what we are willing to pay."
Those who take the survey will make funding decisions on nine current City programs that cost about $3.5 million to maintain in the upcoming budget year. They are funding for the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development; street tree maintenance; non-injury traffic accident reporting; a fire station; a senior citizen volunteer program; neighborhood libraries; StarTran bus routes; and neighborhood pools.
Participants will have only $750,000 to spend. Once the choices are made, the property tax impact will be automatically calculated. If they choose not to fund any programs, the annual reduction in property taxes would be $7.50 (based on a house with an assessed value of $150,000). If they choose to fund all the programs, the property taxes would go up about $27 per year.
The survey also includes an online discussion area for participants to discuss their choices with others taking the survey. Those who take the survey also will have the opportunity to sign up for a Community Conversation between City Department Directors and Managers and members of the public on Saturday, June 18th.
This is the fourth online budget survey conducted by Mayor Beutler's administration since April 2008. The City also has conducted two scientific phone surveys. More information on the Public Policy Center is available at ppc.unl.edu.

Every once in a while....
What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Every once in a while....
Every now and then, I open a bottle of brew and there just isn't any fizz. I dont understand why I still have this problem. I put the appropriate amount of corn sugar in to prime, the bottles and caps are clean. So what the @#%$!!! Sorry about that. But ut us very upsetting when you spend all the time and effort to brew a good beer and this happens. I suppose I have to go back to adding a couple granules of yeast to every bottle when I am bottling. That still doesn't explain why though. Am I letting the beer sit to long and all of the yeast are dying??? I had this problem last year with a couple of batches. I just hate having to open all of them up again, just to add some little critters to each bottle. Oh well, just letting off some steam 'cuz I wanted to enjoy a cream ale tonight and I was thwarted. Later, Ed.

Are you.....
Putting the priming sugar/water solution in the bottom of the bottling bucket before you transfer the beer from the fermenter? I had that problem with a batch that I had forgotten the priming sugar and had to add it after the brew was already in the bottling bucket. I don't think the priming sugar dispersed(sp) evenly.
Also what do you sanitize with? Is it possible there was a bit left in a couple bottles and it killed the yeast? I don't know if this is really possible or not, but it was a thought I had.

Be sure not to overfill the bottles. There should be ~1 inch of space between the beer and the bottle top. Overfilling may cause undercarbonation. Likewise, under filling may cause overcarbonation.

could be the caps?
This might be the last possible reason, but, sometimes when you bottle, if the caps are not totally snug, it seems like the seal isn't good enough to contain the pressure. I have had this problem before too.

You are boiling your priming sugar in water before adding it to the beer prior to bottling, right? I had a similar opportunity and now I stir the beer in the bottling bucket after adding the priming sugar solution. This resolved my problems. It seemed that the priming sugar was inconsistently dispersed in the beer prior to bottling. Just give it a stir with a non-porous, sanitized spoon just before you bottle.

that's me in the corner, that me in the spotlight...
How long do you let your brew sit before you bottle? If you let your beer age in the secondary for over a month a good practice is to pitch some yeast along with the priming media. I do this often- my beers usually sit in the secondary for over a month. I have not had a problem with undercarbonation as long as I was sure to add more yeast with the priming method. The added yeast need not be expensive. I use a packet of dry- it will not alter the flavor, no matter what anyone would have you believe. The secondary fermentation is a much smaller scale. Prost!

Cloud Nine Internet Marketing
We are an Internet marketing (Search Engine optimization, Pay-Per-Click) and web services company focusing on bringing big time Internet marketing strategies to small and medium-sized businesses. We focus on bringing our clients huge amounts of value for their marketing dollar through the use of highly targeted, effective and measurable internet marketing.
Small and Medium sized businesses, particularly in the health care sector, although this will not be the only market we serve long-term. And more particularly, the owners of these businesses who usually serve as their marketing decision makers. These are entrepreneurial types, generally, with a fairly even mix of men and women. But most of them are experts in their field and we have found many of them to not be very computer savvy although they may be very technically savvy in their given field of expertise.
We need a logo designed that has great impact and instant recognizeability. Maybe something a little bit cutesy, but still professional.
We will be using this logo on our web site, and all of our printed materials.
We will be templating the web site using something similar to this: http://www.urlengineering.com/cloud…mplate.jpg so that is the sort of look and feel we will be going for (the current logo on there is just a placeholder and you should not let that effect your design sensibilities).
We would probably like you to keep the color scheme fairly simple so that when we need to have it printed it doesn't cost us a fortune and we have an easy time even converting it to a single color of need be. But that will be an edge case for this logo.
File Format: We will need this is not only jpg format but also eps (most printers seem to always ask for that format) and a layered photoshop or png file would be great to include as well. most of the time this will be printed out fairly small but we may have some need to blow it up bigger in the future. Whatever format makes that possible is what we need it in.

BALTIMORE, MD, Sunday, September 23, 2012 — For the first time since its inception in 2005, the Clinton Global Initiative's annual New York meeting will be viewed remotely by more than 50,000 students and faculty from 39 institutions in the Laureate International Universities network on four continents via a multi-lingual webcast on September 24 and 25. In addition to the opening address by President Bill Clinton, Laureate students will view live speeches of U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, as well as interviews with guest speakers.
Over 50,000 students in classrooms and auditoriums, as well as online, will have exclusive access to expert commentary and interviews alongside the live webcast of the meeting of leaders from the worlds of politics, business, philanthropy and civil society.
In addition, three students from Laureate institutions in Turkey, Brazil and Chile have been chosen to attend CGI in person to interview attendees and provide real-time updates for their fellow students across the Laureate network through social media as well as the webcast. The three honors student cum reporters – Derin Erpulat (Istanbul Bilgi University in Istanbul, Turkey), Nicolás Oyaneder (Universidad Andrés Bello in Concepción, Chile), Glauria Penalber (Centro Universitário do Norte in Manaus, Brazil) – were chosen for their commitment to social activism as well as language and communication skills.
Operating across the Laureate Live platform, the live webcast and expert commentary will be available to universities across its network in English with translation in Spanish and Portuguese and closed captioning. The live feed will be enhanced by exclusive onsite interviews with global leaders of private enterprise as well as public policy bodies and non-governmental organizations.
"The Clinton Global Initiative is unquestionably one of the world's most dynamic forums because it convenes leaders who are committed to solving humanity's most intractable problems and challenges. We are proud to be part of this vital mission because our own mission, as the world's largest network of universities, is to be here for good by imbuing our students with social as well as professional purpose." said Douglas L. Becker, Chairman and CEO of Laureate Education, Inc.
Laureate International Universities has made several global commitments to the Clinton Global Initiative, including the creation of the Richard Riley Scholarship program that provided 1,000 teachers with access to graduate degree programs in 2008 and an expansion of Laureate's support of the International Youth Foundation's YouthActionNet® program in 2010.

There is a procedure to follow when developing old fashioned film photography; prints must be immersed in developer, a stop bath, and a fixing agent before the final rinse, and each step must be timed just right.
There is a procedure to follow when developing old fashioned film photography; prints must be immersed in developer, a stop bath, and a fixing agent before the final rinse, and each step must be timed just right.
Likewise, it takes time to develop a quality photo supply store and to accumulate the expertise required to operate such a business.
Just ask Jann Macomber — she's been at Converse Photo all her life. Literally.
Macomber's parents, George and Mildred Hellyer, bought Converse in the late 1940s after operating Bradley Photo on Penniman Street in New Bedford. Macomber has been spending time at the store ever since she was born.
"I grew up here," says Macomber, adding that her daughter works at the store and her young grandson is featured in many of their sample photos. "We all grew up here."
Given her wisdom of all things photographic, it shows.
"Our knowledge puts us above other stores," she says. "I've been here, I've seen it, so people come in and I'll know how to help them."
Working at the store over the years, Macomber has seen a great deal of changes in the photography world.
"The way we view and use photography has changed considerably," she says. "But the basics of photography have stayed the same."
"So many people today will use their phones to take pictures. A phone is a phone, it's not a camera and it's not the same quality as a camera," says Macomber.
No matter what your method of taking photos, Macomber suggests printing them.
"Get a hard copy," she says. "It's heartbreaking when the dog eats your memory card, or the computer crashes, and you don't have a shoebox or an album full of pictures."
"I try to let people know, print them and save them to an external backup source."
For those prints, Converse offers the best in quality, Macomber says.
"We print digital photos on the same paper as we would for a 35-millimeter camera," she says. "It's embedded in the paper, so it's a lasting and quality print."
Besides developing and printing photos, the store offers a number of services and products.
Macomber points out the kiosks where customers can crop and adjust their own photos to their personal specifications. And when it comes time to print, a professional photographer on staff ensures that the prints have the proper quality, brightness. Macomber says her staff is also happy to help edit photos for customers.
Converse can also recover memory cards when they encounter problems, and Macomber touts a 98 percent recovery rate with only the most critically damaged cards being unable to recover.
The staff can create collages, slideshows, transfer old photos to CDs, and restore antique photographs. They make canvas prints, photo books, calendars, puzzles, mugs, and key chains out of customers' chosen pictures.
"We do design work, banners, greeting cards, enlargements," says Macomber. "We can even wrap your car in vinyl. Basically, we do everything photographic."
They sell an array of both new and used cameras, as well as bags, albums, frames, and myriad accessories for photographers, professional and amateur. As a direct dealer for both Nikon and Canon, the store can also order those companies' products for their customers.
But above all, experience may be Converse's strongest point.
"When people come in with a problem, we've been there and done that," Macomber says. "We're all photographers here, we know what they're going through. Often, people will come in and have been told to do something that is just misinformation by people somewhere else who don't know anything about photography."
"It's knowledge. And honesty — we don't try to make people buy things they don't need," says Macomber, referencing one amateur photographer who recently came in to buy a $40 battery when his camera just needed charging.
"And, we have a parking lot," she says, not an easy feat in downtown New Bedford.
Converse Photo Supply is located at 10 North Sixth St. in New Bedford. They are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Wednesday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Contact Converse at 508-992-3910 or visit their website at www.conversephoto.com.

Constant Holley MacRae
Constant attributed her love for arranging flowers to a Japanese gentleman staying at her home, probably Genjiro Yeto. She recalled when he placed a single red rose in an old decanter: "From this time on...flower arranging has always been my foremost interest."
Her early arrangements are known only through letters to her mother. In October 1902 she wrote, "Elmer & I did the decorations—festooned clematis back of the little raised platform thro big jars of bay flanking the sides and then for the center of interest—one huge mass of pink dahlias coming up in the circle of the grand piano...people said it was the most effective decoration they had ever seen on such a large scale and yet all so simple." This boldness, simplicity and innovation would mark her arrangements throughout her life.
Her technique matured in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1935, she was awarded first prize for an arrangement of radishes, celery, red cabbage leaves, spinach and rhubarb in a tall clay pot. In 1939, in "recognition of her achievement in the Fine Art of Flower Arrangement," she was invited to contribute to the New York World's Fair. In 1952 the Constant Holley MacRae Award was offered for the first time. This bronze medal, made by Tiffany & Co., is a sweepstakes award presented by the Greenwich Garden Club. It was created to honor Constant MacRae who was acknowledged to be one of the nation's foremost authorities on flower arranging. Due to the ephemeral nature of her art, however, it has been mostly forgotten and is preserved only in vintage photographs and letters currently in the William E. Finch, Jr. Archives.
In this letter Constant thanks her mother for the greens she had sent and describes her table decorations for the Thanksgiving day table. She writes "Mr. Hassam said it was the prettiest decoration he had ever seen."

I'll tackle the high-water issue in a moment. First, the planned ride (because there's always a plan, and the plan is generally adhered to). Kevin (my son, not the pilot) was supposed to ride with me today, and wanted to do something "different." He was bored of doing the same loop/loops over and over again, so I devised something a bit different. Below is what I came up with-
Actually, that's the ride I actually rode, and is slightly-different from the original plan. Up Old LaHonda, down the other side to LaHonda, over Haskins Grade to Pescadero (no surprises yet!) and then, instead of heading north towards Tunitas, I added a loop out to Gazos Creek & back to San Gregorio, then 84 over the hill back to Woodside, instead of the usual Tunitas Creek.
Kevin ended up not being able to ride, due to a nasty head cold, so I was out there on my own. I don't mind riding along sometimes, but it's unfortunate when I miss an opportunity to ride with Kevin, because after he's been out on a bike for an hour or so, his mind clears of the fog that his epilepsy drugs create and you he becomes a lot sharper and more perceptive. That plus his riding helps keep him in shape for LaCrosse.
While the weather was fairly nice, Old LaHonda was still wet in places and the top was very slippery, none of that being a surprise after so much rain this past month, and provided a convenient excuse for the frustrating 22 minutes, 12 seconds it took. One of those times when you keep thinking about where those 13 seconds went, because 21 minutes, 59 seconds sounds so much faster! The descent on the east side is becoming increasingly touchy as the road continues to deteriorate, plus you have to watch out for cyclists heading up, of which there were quite a few today! Then it was up over Haskins Grade to Pescadero, another source of minor frustration as I timed myself at 10 minutes, 10 seconds to the top. A lot more than the 8 minutes I used to easily climb that stretch of road, but faster than I've been up it recently.
The run into Pescadero wouldn't be the same if you didn't have that small dog that runs across a huge yard to chase down cyclists. Fortunately there's a fence between you and the dog, but I paid attention to where he comes from and it's way, way, way at the back of a huge lot. Very impressive speed from that little guy! The next stop would normally be in Pescadero for food, but I'd decided I'd do that after returning from the southern loop down to Gazos Creek. This is when plans changed a bit; originally, I was going to ride out to the coast at Pescadero and then head south on 1, but a flooded section of the road between the town of Pescadero and the coast essentially closed the road to cyclists (not a good idea to try and ride through water that's up to your crankset and too deep to see what you're riding through).
The easiest thing to do would have been to simply head north and do the usual Tunitas loop (again), but the plan had been to head down to Gazos Creek, and some way or other, I was going to stick to some variant of the plan. The solution was simple; ride south on Cloverdale Road instead of the impossible-to-get-to Highway 1, and then return on the coast all the way to San Gregorio, bypassing Pescadero. This worked out quite nicely, since there's a good place to eat right where you hit Highway 1 (as seen here). It's called the Gazos Creek Grill, and it may become our new stop on trips to Santa Cruz. Much faster service than the over-crowded Whaler Cafe in Davenport.
Then it was a fast run north on Highway 1 to San Gregorio. Yes, fast, heading north. This was an unusual day with reversed wind direction, for which I was quite thankful. Yes, that means I did have a strong headwind at times on Cloverdale Road, but much better there, with its twists & small hills, than on the coast, where you can see the road stretch out in front of you for miles, and a headwind feels like something meant to punish you forever. I was in San Gregorio and heading up 84 in no time, and made it back a fair amount earlier than I expected.
Overall stats, from my house, came to 76 miles, 5900ft of climbing, and 17mph average riding speed. There's a story to the average speed. I hadn't paid attention to it most of the ride, finally checking it at the bottom of 84 as I approached Woodside. 16.9 miles per hour. Panic quickly set in; I'd much rather it had said 16.7 than 16.9, because there would be no possible way of bumping 16.7 up to 17 by the time I got home. But 16.9? Ouch. I just might be able to pull it off. So, instead of taking it easy the final few miles to home, I was pushing the pedals as hard as I could, trying to keep my current speed as much above 17 mph as possible, knowing that I was going to be going a fair amount slower than that on my way over Jefferson. Somehow, I did it. I managed to bump it up to 17mph, almost making up for the missed opportunities on Old LaHonda and Haskins Grade. Redemption is where you find it.
If you do this ride starting from Woodside, it's going to be about 67 miles and 5500ft of climbing. Food & water will be available at LaHonda, Pescadero, Gazos Creek, San Gregorio and again at LaHonda. There's also food & water at Sky Londa, but that's only 10 mostly-downhill miles from the finish in Woodside. This ranks as a challenging ride, not something to attempt as your first 100k! –Mike–

VMware, the biggest maker of software that lets computers run different operating systems, said first-quarter sales and profit exceeded analysts' estimates as more customers renewed contracts.
Sales climbed 14 percent to $1.36 billion from $1.19 billion a year earlier, VMware said in a statement Tuesday. Profit before certain items was 80 cents a share. Analysts had projected profit of 79 cents and sales of $1.35 billion, according to the average estimate compiled by Bloomberg.
Businesses have been renewing software licensing agreements and adding contracts for management tools, Abhey Lamba, an analyst at Mizuho Securities USA with a buy rating on the stock, wrote in a note. VMware, which is majority-owned by EMC, makes virtualization software that lets customers save money by combining multiple applications on a single machine.
Net income rose to $199 million, up 15 percent from $173 million a year ago.
Shares of the Palo Alto-based company rose as much as 4.9 percent in extended trading following the earnings report. The stock had gained less than 1 percent to $105.15 at the close in New York before the report.
VMware has been purchasing companies to diversify its revenue. VMware acquired AirWatch earlier this year for $1.54 billion to bolster its line of management programs for mobile devices. The products are aimed at corporations seeking ways to keep information secure as more employees use handheld gadgets for work. In 2012, VMware paid $1.26 billion for Nicira to gain software that helps networks run more efficiently.

Statements on Auditing Procedure No. 5 February 1941 • Issued by the Committee on Auditing Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41st Street, New York, N. Y. Copyright 1941 by American Institute of Accountants The Revised S.E.C. Rule on "Accountants' Certificates" THE REVISED rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission re-garding accountants' certificates known as rule 2-02 was issued on February 5, 1941, and is effective March 1, 1941. The rule in draft form was the subject of consideration and discus-sions with the Commission for several months, and during this period there have been a number of meetings, considerable correspondence, and two formed hearings before the Commission. Since the release of February 5, 1941, letters have been exchanged between the commit-tee and the Commission as follows: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. GENTLEMEN: This committee has given consideration to the Commission's release of February 5, 1941, covering the revised rule regarding accountants' certificates contained in amendment No. 3 to Regulation S-X. In view of the fact that the amendment becomes effective on March 1, 1941, and in conformity with the purpose of the American Institute of Ac-countants to cooperate to the fullest possible extent with the Commis-sion, this committee deems it desirable that a suggested new form of certificate for use in connection with financial statements filed with the Commission should be put forward promptly which will be ac-ceptable to the Commission. The committee believes that the new requirements in the normal case can be met by the insertion of an additional sentence immediately following the present statement regarding the extent of the audit, and that the language of this sentence should follow as closely as pos-sible that of the release. In substance, the statement of the auditors which we ask the Commission to approve would be: "In our opinion our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards applicable in the circumstances and it included all procedures which we considered necessary." The amendment apparently contemplates that any such statement should be made as a statement of fact. However, the release clearly 37

KABUL, Afghanistan, Sept. 15 - Three Americans were sentenced here on Wednesday to 8 to 10 years in prison for running a private jail and torturing prisoners, after a panel of three Afghan judges rejected their claim that they were working for a Pentagon counterterrorist group led by Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, the deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence.
Jonathan K. Idema, 48, a former member of the Special Forces, and Brent Bennett, 28, an Army-trained forward air controller, were sentenced to 10 years, and Edward Caraballo, 42, a journalist filming a documentary about them, was given 8 years.
Four Afghans working for the men were given sentences of one to five years. The Americans stood still as they heard the sentences relayed by an interpreter. Behind them, the youngest defendant, a 15-year-old Afghan translator, began to cry.
The Americans immediately said that they had had been abandoned by their American masters because they had become a political liability. "This can only have been staged by the U.S. government -- we were an embarrassment," said Mr. Caraballo, an award-winning cameraman who says he was filming Mr. Idema's counterterrorist operations.
General Boykin was the subject of a Pentagon investigation that in August determined that he had violated military regulations by giving speeches while in uniform in which he cast the Bush administration's war on terrorism as a battle between Christianity and Islam and claimed that Muslims worship an idol and not a "real God." The speeches came to light the previous October.Continue reading the main story
Lawyers for the Americans had tried to introduce a videotape as evidence that Mr. Idema had a relationship with counterterrorism officials in the military, and particularly with General Boykin's office. But the lead judge, Abdul Baset Bakhtiari, apparently intent on wrapping up the trial before the end of the day, cut short their defense and barely watched the videotape.
The taped conversations, handed out to journalists by defense lawyers after the trial, could have provided evidence that the men were working for some special unit with the knowledge and cooperation of people in the Pentagon. But there was no immediate way to verify the authenticity of the tapes.
American Embassy officials have said since the arrests on July 5 that as far as they knew neither Mr. Idema nor anyone in his group was working for a government agency. The military has issued statements saying Mr. Idema was impersonating government or military officials and did not represent either.
Yet the videos, recorded by Mr. Caraballo in Kabul in the months after their arrival in April of this year, seem to show Mr. Idema talking on two occasions to people in General Boykin's office. In one conversation Mr. Idema is heard telling Jorge Shim, an aide to General Boykin, that he is close to rounding up a whole cell of terrorists.
The aide responds: "I told General Boykin that you called. I gave him the information and to the D.I.A.," apparently referring to the Defense Intelligence Agency.
Mr. Idema says, "There are more bombs and more bombers, and we are hitting them in five hours."
The aide replies, "Five hours? Jack, I'm going to have someone from the D.I.A. contact you on your cell number, so give me a few minutes."
In another conversation, which the defense represented as having occurred days before the men were arrested by Afghan authorities, Mr. Idema is clearly asking for some help. General Boykin's aides explain that they had been trying to separate the general from Mr. Idema's activities to avoid any attention from the news media.
Mr. Idema says, "Someone's got to do something within 12 hours or I'm going to e-mail this [expletive] thing to Dan Rather. Do you think I would rot in prison if there's a problem?"
Then a man who says he is "George's supervisor" comes on the line and says, "I don't know what happened. I don't know how this happened." The speaker refers to "J2," which Mr. Idema said in court was an umbrella group of top officers in military intelligence, as he explains that people were trying to put Mr. Idema in touch with J2 intelligence officials so he could work with them.
The speaker says, "We passed all your information to the J2 staff here and to the D.I.A., and we were trying to protect our boss from getting associated with it because he does not need any other scrutiny right now by the press. So we are trying to put a firewall between your efforts and him because we did not want to connect anything there and there is no need to do that."
In Washington, a Defense Department official acknowledged that Mr. Idema had called several Pentagon officials, including General Boykin's assistant, Mr. Shim, seeking to pass along intelligence information. That information would have been sent through the appropriate intelligence channels for review, just like any other unsolicited tip.
The official said, however, that Mr. Idema was not employed by the Pentagon, and his activities had not been directed or encouraged by General Boykin or any other defense official.
The Pentagon official did not dispute the veracity of the tape-recorded conversations that Mr. Idema produced, but said he and other defense officials could not immediately confirm that the conversations had actually taken place or the assertion in one of the recordings that General Boykin's aides were trying to dissociate their boss from Mr. Idema.
Other evidence presented by the defense but not shown to the court included 70 pages of documents, mostly faxes and correspondence from Mr. Idema to Pentagon, C.I.A. and F.B.I. officials, providing reports on suspected terrorist groups.
Two documents show some return correspondence, but nothing that directly ties them to the Pentagon during the men's time in Afghanistan.
Judge Bakhtiari ruled that the men had failed to provide documentary evidence of authorization from Washington or the Afghan government for their work.
He seemed to have trouble understanding the taped telephone conversations, which were indeed hard to follow and not fully translated. Eventually, he cut short the defense, saying that the videos were inconclusive and that he needed more concrete, documentary evidence.
Mr. Idema's lawyer, John Edwards Tiffany, and Robert Fogelnest, who is representing Mr. Caraballo, said the three men had been abandoned by the United States and left to their fates in an Afghan court to avoid the far greater publicity of an American trial.
Mr. Fogelnest asked: "Is this a secret that the Americans have secret ops? How many other Jacks do they have floating around?" He used Mr. Idema's preferred first name.
The case will automatically go to an appeals court within two weeks, Judge Bakhtiari said, and if the appeals judges wish, they will call the defendants back to court. After that, the defendants may appeal the case to the Afghan supreme court. Mr. Fogelnest said they would appeal.Continue reading the main story

Penn State trustees fired legendary football coach Joe Paterno on Nov. 9 and also ousted the school's president, Graham Spanier. The moves came after the school's football team's former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandusky, was accused of molesting young boys for years. Two high-ranking administrators also face charges that they lied to a grand jury about their knowledge of the alleged crimes.

Arizona Stadium is going to have a different look in 2013.
The Lowell-Stevens Football Facility, which was being built during the 2012 campaign, is complete. The football team has moved in to its new digs, and they are pretty impressive.
Furthermore, the field on which the Wildcats will play is also different, as the natural grass surface has been replaced with Field Turf. A watermark saying "Bear Down" stretches across the middle of the field.
The school gave members of the media a tour of the new digs Thursday in Tucson, and here are some pictures from the afternoon.

The Adams New Idea Hybrid Irons feature "Cut Thru" technology integrated into the entire set. Research by Adams showed that most players mis-hit their clubs out toward the toe up to 80% of the time, so they lengthened the "Cut Thru" to include the toe portion of the club. This created and amazingly forgiving iron, paired with Adams New Idea Hybrids featuring the same technology. This evolution of the "Cut Thru" increases the size of the sweet spot and provides up to 44% more ball speed on off center shots, and 23% more ball speed on center shots when compared to the a12os hybrid irons. The Adams New Idea Hybrid Iron Set includes 3H-5H, 6i-PW. Click Here to watch a video about the new "Cut Thru" on the toe.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (Jan. 1, 2008) - After getting off to a disappointing 3-7 start in its 2007 portion of the schedule, the ETSU women's basketball team will look to kick off the 2008 slate in fine fashion as the Lady Bucs conclude a season long five-game road trip Wednesday night against SEC foe Alabama. Tip is set for 7 p.m. EST inside Coleman Coliseum.
The Lady Bucs, who are still searching for their first real road win since knocking off North Florida last February, is led by super sophomore Siarre Evans (

The Tide is led by freshman Tierney Jenkins who averages 13.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per contest. Jenkins is joined by another freshman in Daleisha Carn. Carn, a 6-foot guard, averages 9.8 points and hits 47.3 percent of her field goals (43-91) in 26.5 minutes of work.
