Sen. Kerry expected to make climate a 'banner issue' if he is secretary of State
Sen. John Kerry will bring his passion for climate change with him to the State Department if President Obama taps him to replace departing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton early in his next term, and the Massachusetts Democrat's presence could help inject needed life into the United States' role in international climate discussions, experts say.
The senator and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice have been mentioned most often for the job, though nominating either would pose some challenges for the White House (ClimateWire, Nov. 27). Kerry, a Vietnam War veteran, has also been floated as a possible Defense secretary in Obama's second term.
Kerry heads the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and has been involved in both domestic and international climate policy going back to the 1980s and '90s, sponsoring legislation at home to cut greenhouse gases while frequenting U.N. climate change conferences.
At times, he has been the only senator and highest-ranking U.S. official to attend the talks, noted Andrew Light, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. In those years, the Massachusetts senator took on the task of reassuring a skeptical world that the United States would eventually act on climate change.
Light remembered Kerry's appearance in Bali, Indonesia, in 2007, nearly seven years into the George W. Bush administration, during which he promised the global community that the United States would be able to take a more proactive role after the 2008 presidential election because both Obama and 2008 GOP nominee John McCain believed in climate change.
"We're going to be ready to join you" was the message, Light said.
Besides leading the Senate effort in the last Congress to pass comprehensive carbon cap-and-trade legislation, Kerry also proposed legislation in 2009 that would have boosted U.S. support for adaptation, low-carbon energy and emissions estimates in developing countries. Neither bill was enacted, but Kerry's office said that his international climate bill influenced Clinton's pledges of climate aid, which she made at the climate conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, later that year.
Alden Meyer, director of strategy and policy for the Union of Concerned Scientists, said Kerry's long experience with international climate negotiations would give him a head start on that part of his complex portfolio, if he became secretary of State.
"He knows the players; he knows the dynamics," Meyer said. "He would hit the ground running on this issue and would operate at a very high level, and would give it a fair amount of priority."
While the State Department must respond to a broad range of issues and potential threats to the United States, Meyer said that Kerry would be more acutely aware than most potential secretaries that climate change is also a national security threat and would incorporate the issue into the other State efforts.
For example, he said, a Secretary of State Kerry would use his office to push China to join the United States in taking a leadership role on long-term climate change mitigation, raising the issue as part of other bilateral discussions with the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter.
"He would understand the relationship this has to our economic relationship and trade relationship with China," Meyer said.
After a visit by the senator to China in 2009, the Foreign Relations Committee released a report on possible areas where the United States and China might collaborate on climate change and energy projects, like co-sponsoring laboratories for low-carbon technology research and development. It also examined the climate change policies and vulnerabilities of both countries.
The issue is also of great importance to U.S. allies in Europe, which is preparing to take part in a second emissions-reduction commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol even as other participants have said they will sit it out.
"I think he would be able to navigate that relationship," Meyer said.
Tim Wirth, president of the U.N. Foundation and an undersecretary of State for global affairs under former President Bill Clinton, said he would expect Kerry to make climate change response his flagship issue at State, looking for ways to advance it as Hillary Rodham Clinton has women's rights.
"Every successful secretary of State has picked something out that is his or her banner issue," said Wirth, a former Senate colleague of Kerry's from Colorado.
"I would suspect he would [choose] climate, and he would be by far the heaviest voice in the Cabinet for it," he said, "and would be an amazingly powerful -- and, by the way, needed -- advocate."
Wirth himself was involved in negotiations that led to the Kyoto Protocol, the first international agreement on climate change that included binding emissions targets. The United States ultimately did not ratify the agreement.
Wirth has been sharply critical of the Obama administration's level of commitment on climate change, saying last year that its leadership on the issue "doesn't exist" (ClimateWire, Dec. 23, 2011).
The administration's stance on climate has disappointed many in the international community, who had hoped to see the U.S. negotiating position change dramatically under Obama. But the United States has said it will not accept any new treaty on emissions that does not assign the same kind of legal obligations to all major emitters.
Wirth also noted that before the election, the administration was reluctant to mention climate change. "So it wasn't on the agenda," he said.
But as secretary of State, Kerry might be able to use his influence as "the first among equals" on Obama's Cabinet to elevate the issue, Wirth said.
But he said that did not mean pushing for a treaty in the near future that includes binding emissions targets. That would not be possible as long as wealthy and poor countries continue to produce greenhouse gases at such different rates.
"To get to a long-term climate agreement, we're going to have to put a lot of building blocks in place," he said.
Instead of looking for absolute emissions reduction targets, Wirth proposed finding multilateral agreement on building codes, fuel efficiency for vehicles, renewable energy standards and other sector-specific actions that might be more politically within reach for countries, including the United States.
Wirth said Kerry would be an able advocate for that approach.
"I can hear him saying, 'I want this done,'" he said.
'Unfinished business between them'
Whatever their hopes are for a Kerry-led State Department, international policy experts emphasize that many offices must have a hand in crafting the administration's policies, which ultimately belong to the president.
Here, Kerry's relationship with Obama might prove to be an asset, they said.
"I would hope that if he was secretary of State, Senator Kerry would be a strong voice with the president and with the White House for a more ambitious U.S. posture in the negotiations," said Meyer, adding that U.S. emissions and financing commitments must be strengthened.
CAP's Light noted that in 2009 and 2010 Kerry communicated closely with the White House about his efforts to write and pass carbon cap-and-trade legislation.
"To what extent is this unfinished business between them, I don't know," Light said.
Light said that Kerry may view the State Department as the natural extension of those efforts because any response to climate change must ultimately be global if it is to be effective.
"This would be his last great opportunity to make an impact on the issue, and I think he would take it very seriously," he said.
But David Waskow, international climate policy director for Oxfam America, said that it is up to the president to raise the issue's profile.
"If the president and the administration take really clear steps to reaffirm the ways in which they are going to act on climate change, that's the real barometer of what the administration can do as a whole, including the secretary of State and the State Department," Waskow said.
During a post-election news conference two weeks ago, Obama called for a renewed public conversation on climate change, and Waskow said he hoped Obama would begin using his presidential bully pulpit to explain the importance of reducing emissions and helping poorer nations adapt to climate change (E&ENews PM, Nov. 14). A secretary of State could be part of that conversation, he said.
Waskow noted that Rice has also spoken frequently about the role climate change is expected to play in fueling international conflict. He said he hoped to see the president request at least as much funding for international climate aid in his fiscal 2014 budget request to be released early next year as he did for fiscal 2013.
Political realities
Kerry's appointment to either the State or Defense post might pave the way for Republicans to recapture his Senate seat if Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) wins a special election to replace him. Brown lost his own bid for re-election on Nov. 7. He was elected in a January 2010 special election to replace the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D).
But Kerry's time in the Senate also gives him a number of advantages over other possible State nominees, including the promise of a swift and easy confirmation -- while Rice faces a much more precarious road, if Republican threats are to be believed. He would also have the ear of his former colleagues on Capitol Hill who appropriate money for the State Department's activities.
And if the U.N. process produces a treaty by 2015 to control emissions, to take effect by 2020, as is called for under last year's Durban Platform, it would be up to the Senate to ratify it.
"If you don't have the Senate behind you, as we found out during the Kyoto process, the credibility of the U.S. administration is really diminished in the international process," Meyer said. "People don't think they're speaking for the U.S. government as a whole if they don't have a base of support in the Senate."

September 18, 2011
Tacoma, WA
This year was fun. My bestests 2nd run. Rain. Of course. I saddled up with my sisters family this time. Just before leaving the house, it was monsooning (raining really hard?). I have said it before and I will say it again. If you let the rain stop you around here, you'll never go anywhere. It was nice to be dropped off at the start line. The crowd had not built up yet so we headed for our traditional honey bucket visit. It is my favorite to have my sister waiting for me outside the potty. As I step out, I give my spandex running shorts a hard yank up, and announce, "I'm ready to run." Like its a secret what everyone is doing in there?
It was chilly so we jumped around. Our favorite is to do a fashion review. We have found that pre-race line up have become one big running gear fashion show. Admiring different shoe choices ect,. One day I will have to do some interviewing about how people like what they are wearing especially while they are running. That would be fun.
Not every race is going to be perfect. You can make mistakes. I made a mistake. Woopsie. My time suffered. I blew myself up so much that I was slower than last year. But my sister wasn't!!! And that was all worth it.
You Go Girl race, I give you thumbs up. I loved loved loved my 10K necklace! It hangs very well with the rest of my race medals. Organized, great post race event. Bagels, energy drinks, ect,. Well done. I will be back.
|Drop off :)
|Big PR for my sis!

Detailed extensively on the artist's personal site, London-based Dominic Wilcox has developed prototype shoes that utilize GPS location to guide a person to their next destination. Developed with the help of Northampton shoe maker Stamp Shoes and a technology expert named Becky Stewart, Wilcox created a pair of shoes that cleverly displays both direction as well as distance when a location has been uploaded with mapping software. On the top of the right shoe, the wearer can view a straight line of five LED lights that gradually turn on as the wearer gets closer to a specific destination. At the beginning of the journey, the shoe starts with a single red LED light and slowly adds lights to the progress bar culminating in a green LED light at the end of the walk.
On the top of the left shoe, the wearer can view a circle which indicates the direction that a person should be walking to reach their final destination. The LED light in the middle of the circle remains lit when connected to the satellite. The LED on the outside moves around the circle and the design simulates a line pointing in a specific direction.
When asked about the method of communication regarding distance and direction, Wilcox stated "I chose mini LED lights as they needed to be visible outdoor in sunlight. There were other alternatives like digital displays, but given the distance from the eyes, these LED's seemed the best option."
Interestingly, Wilcox has included a cool method to start up the GPS. Paying homage to The Wizard of Oz, the wearer only needs to click the heels together to activate the GPS. This is accomplished when a magnet in the right shoe comes into the vicinity of the sensor in the left shoe. This action activates the Arduino micro-controller in the left shoe and turns on the LED lights. Also inside the heal, Wilcox has stored the battery to power the micro-controllers and LED lights.
On the back of the left shoe, Wilcox has included a small antenna in a red, leather flap behind the ankle. As the antenna picks up GPS data, the left shoe utilizes wireless communication to send over proximity of the final destination to the right shoe.
In order to load a specific location into the shoes, the wearer must connect the shoes via USB cable to a computer and use custom software to pick out a specific destination on the map. Hypothetically, a future version of the prototype could use a mapping application on a smartphone to set a new location while the person is actually wearing the shoes.
Called the "No Place Like Home" shoes, Wilcox added a cute illustration on the bottom of the shoe that depicts a person walking through a town. The red leather lining and red laces were chosen as an homage to Dorothy's red ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Wilcox also included an arrow on the side of the shoe as another design feature to indicate the purpose of the GPS-enabled footwear.

I would like a new logo for my site re-launch
Here is an images of the new homepage (.jpg).
Here is the current site.
The site helps finance students earn a professional certification (learn expert finance).
The business is: online learning/teaching of business skills, primarily with rich media (e.g., video).
If the logo conveys any impression, probably should be: LEARNING, EDUCATION. Could maybe aspire to: learning finance.
Optional and subsequent: If the logo-turtle has a personality, and can be adapted, then I will hire you additionally for "action poses" to insert in practice quiz/instructional content; e.g., thumbs up for correct answer given, sad turtle for mistake, pointing to key idea, turtle with light bulb for bright idea.
- Given the name (bionic turtle), I would prefer to continue to "employ" a turtle in the logo. Additional, to convey "learning" or "elearning" or "educational site" or "teaching community" is all good. (does not need to convey finance).
- Vibe is FRIENDLY, CHEERFUL.
- Don't need tagline ("learn expert risk and finance") because I will just add it below the logo; i.e., without is more flexible i think
- Vector, please
- Turtle probably should be green
- High contrast and *not* too much detail/nuance so that the logo can survive various applications
- A realistic representation of a turtle. Prefer iconic or cartoon-ish (or even symbolic)
- A great deal of detail or complexity; e.g., would like to be able to scale down without significant loss

U.S. Customs, Border Patrol to lease offices in Duluth
The federal government has reached a lease agreement for new U.S. Customs and Border Patrol offices in Duluth.
The Denver, Colo.-based firm SBC Archway LLC will build a 31,800-square-foot-facility on a 19-acre site at the corner of Airpark Boulevard and Endeavour Drive in the Duluth Airpark.
"The new facility will have office and warehouse space, as well as heated garage for 25 vehicles and a separate garage for boat/ATV/snowmobile storage," said David Wilkinson, a spokesman with the General Services Administration, the federal government's real estate manager.
Construction is slated to begin in October, with a target date for occupancy of September 2009.
The 15-year lease will cost the government $853,266 a year in rent, Wilkinson said.
"We are delighted to be working with GSA again on another project," said Mark Aukamp, a managing member of SBC Archway.
SBC Archway has built an Internal Revenue Service national distribution center in Illinois, Social Security Administration offices in Montana and Indiana, Drug Enforcement Administration office in Montana.
The new facility will give Customs and Border Patrol more space.
"Their present offices in the Heaney Federal Courthouse have about 9,000 square feet," Wilkinson said.
The Border Patrol has worked out of the courthouse in Duluth since 1976. Officials with at the Border Patrol's sector headquarters in Grand Forks could not be immediately reached for comment.
Two years ago, the Border Patrol said it was planning offices for Duluth, Grand Marais and International Falls as the Department of Homeland Security beefed up its activity along the Canadian border.
The proposed facilities each would house up to 50 employees and require 10 acres of land. Each would include a helicopter pad; room for 25 vehicles in a detached, indoor garage; 50 outdoor parking spaces for employees; and a security buffer of 100 feet between the property and neighbors.
The Border Patrol's buildings in Grand Marais and International Falls were built in the 1960s.
In April the government announced that the Border Patrol was no longer searching for a new office in Grand Marais. Instead, the patrol will lease space at the Coast Guard station to relieve crowding at its offices along Minnesota Highway 61, near the north end of town.
Space in the old Coast Guard station became available last year when the National Park Service moved out of the first floor to a new office in Grand Portage.
Earlier this year, the patrol was still working on the logistics of having a new facility in International Falls.

Actin is a highly conserved protein heavily associated with the contractile properties of cells. The important substance is found in almost all cells, but is most pronounced in muscle cells. Two primary types of actin are generally recognized: F-actin and G-actin. A polymeric form, F-actin is actually a chain of multiple actin molecules bound together into long, thin filaments, whereas G-actin exists in a monomeric, globular form, 375 amino acids long. F-actin is the main constituent of microfilaments, which are found predominantly in the cytoskeleton, where they function in contraction, cytoplasmic streaming, and alterations in cellular shape.
The human cortical neuron culture (HCN-1A) featured in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with anti-tubulin mouse monoclonal primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to Cy2. In addition, the culture was stained for the cytoskeletal F-actin network with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin, and for DNA in the cell nucleus with Hoechst 33258. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Discovered more than a century ago, lectins are a specialized class of plant proteins that bind to specific carbohydrate groups attached to proteins or residing in cell membranes. Today these proteins are commonly utilized in the laboratory to localize glycoproteins and to detect glycol-conjugates in various applications. The lectin known as wheat germ agglutinin selectively binds to N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylneuraminic (sialic acid) residues. In solution, wheat germ agglutinin exists as a heterodimer that weighs approximately 38,000 Daltons. Some of the many applications for which wheat germ agglutinin has been utilized include nuclear core studies, investigations of plant hemicelluloses, and examinations of intracellular distribution of altered lysosomal proteins. Conjugates of the lectin are also particularly well suited for staining the Golgi network in fixed cells since a number of proteins and lipids found in the Golgi apparatus are glycosylated.
The culture of normal African green monkey kidney epithelial cells (Vero line) presented in the digital image above was labeled with Oregon Green 488 conjugated to the lectin wheat germ agglutinin. Fluorescent wheat germ agglutinin conjugates are often used as probes for the Golgi network in mammalian cultures. The cells were also stained with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI, which target filamentous actin and nuclear DNA, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

I first met Solomon's Plume (Smilacina racemosa) when I found her growing in abundance outside the van where I was living for a summer on a friend's land in central Maine.
That should have been a clue that this would be a powerful medicine for me.
But the first name I knew the plant by was "False Solomon's Seal," and I hadn't yet heard of people working with her medicine, so I dismissed her as "Not Solomon's Seal", not the medicine that had helped my knee to recover from a nasty fall the winter before.
So it caught me by surprise, when at a workshop in Vermont with Stephen Harrod Buhner, Solomon's Plume grabbed my attention and my imagination.
I saw in her form a graceful arc and then a sudden leap, bridging between worlds. I felt my chest relax and open, a cool influx of breath.
When I described what the plant showed me, Buhner told me that he found the medicine of the plant's root to be extremely useful for relaxing the connective tissues around the lungs.
Months later, when I had a chance to dig some of the roots (cutting the root several inches away from the plant to allow it to keep enough to continue growing and thriving) and tincture them, I found that my own experience matched Buhner's. I find this medicine combines particularly nicely with New England Aster (Aster Nova-angliae), a medicine which relaxes the musculature associated with the respiratory tract. The combination is great for asthmatics who are able to recognize the tightening in their chest that precedes an acute attack. (Thanks to Jim McDonald for the New England Aster part of this formula.) Its also great, in combination with breathing exercises and lung and kidney building herbs, for helping people who have developed patterns of shallow breathing from chronic respiratory disease to begin allowing themselves to breathe deeper.
The root is also profoundly cooling and demulcent -- and maintains its demulcent quality in tincture form for reasons that defy my phytochemical understanding -- and so is an excellent medicine for respiratory inflammation.
It makes a decent substitute for Solomon's Seal (Pologonatum spp.) for moistening and restoring pliability to dried out connective tissues throughout the body, particularly where there is also inflammation -- I used it with great success for a minor weight lifting injury in my right shoulder last winter.
Solomon's Plume has a strong affinity for the liver.
Matthew Wood writes that "It is restorative to the [liver's] cells or tissues and functions." And also reports that "William LeSassier said that constipation will always be present in a case requiring False Solomon's Seal. This may indicate that Smilacina improves bile secretion, hence lubrication of the stool." This may also explain its use by the Delaware and the Navajo as an emetic.
Michael Moore notes that "the root tea is also useful in frontal headaches caused by or accompanied by indigestion" -- which suggests to me that it cools liver heat.
I've had great personal success using the root tincture for constipation, indigestion, and headache associated with heat and congestion in the liver following exposure to gluten or casein.
As a liver cooling herb, Solomon's Plume also helps to cool the temper. The root smudge, which smells faintly of burnt gingerbread, was traditionally burned to soothe anger and irritability associated with PMS.
There is also a strong association of the plant with invisibility -- Solomon's Plume tends to make herself known when she wants to be seen but otherwise is often surprisingly inconspicuous for such a distinctively beautiful plant. Legend has it that Geronimo carried the root of Solomon's Plume as an invisibility charm and that it aided him in evading capture.
My own magical experience of the plant suggests an even stranger reality: The deep, cool peace of Solomon's Plume feels like it aids in slipping briefly outside ordinary space and time. Journeying with the plant, I felt myself in the center of a well-shaft that opened to distant stars, apart from a chaotic reality unfolding outside around me. I saw the face of Obatala, the Orisha associated with calm judgment who "cools the head." Perhaps Geronimo never actually became invisible, but slipped into this place instead.
This is a plant of cool, deep waters, that keeps revealing more dimensions of its medicine over time.

The Thomasville Police Department has identified the person who died Tuesday after he was struck and killed by a train as a student of Thomasville High School.
THOMASVILLE | Thomasville High School Principal Deboy Beamon said he was stunned to learn the news late Wednesday morning: One of his students died Tuesday night after being struck by a train in downtown Thomasville.
Staff members at the school were finding out Wednesday afternoon of the news, and Beamon was expected to announce the death of 18-year-old Paul Anthony Taylor near the end of the school day. The Thomasville Police Department identified Taylor as the victim late Wednesday morning.
"Everybody right now is in total shock," Beamon said. "I never dreamed it was one of my students."
At 7:09 p.m., Thomasville Police and emergency personnel responded to the area of 401 E. Main St. in regard to a pedestrian being struck by a train.
The Amtrak engineer, according to a TPD news release, reported seeing a pedestrian walking south on the southbound tracks. The engineer activated the horn multiple times and when the person did not respond, he placed the train in emergency stop. The train was unable to stop in time, striking the pedestrian. The train was originally traveling at approximately 79 mph. Evidence indicates Taylor may have been listening to an MP3 player and did not hear the train or the horn, police said.
The Amtrak train was traveling with passengers from New York to Charlotte. No other injuries were reported.
Beamon identified Taylor as a junior who wrestled his freshman year.
"He was a good kid, articulate, intelligent, good-looking, handsome, confident," the principal said. "He was a good kid. With his intelligence and his athletics, I think he had a good future."
The principal said Taylor has a brother and sister who recently graduated and a sister who is a freshman.
"They are all very good kids," Beamon said.
As the students learned of Taylor's death, Beamon had counselors on hand. That's standard procedure anytime there is a death involving a student at Thomasville High School.
"A lot of kids knew him," Beamon said.
Beamon spoke with Taylor's mother, Tammy Ramsey, by phone. Ramsey declined an interview with The Dispatch.
"I told her anything that the high school or Thomasville City Schools can do to help, just give us a call," the principal said.
Beamon said losing Taylor is like losing a family member.
"It's a small community, the only (high school) in town," he said.
James Davis, a neighbor of Taylor, said he would see Taylor shooting basketball in front of his house with other children. Davis also was shocked to learn of the tragedy.
"I didn't know anything of it," he said.
Jaquar Edmonds, a ninth-grader at Thomasville High, said he was in a class with Taylor's sister. He said he was walking in the area of the accident when he heard a man describing the body.
"Nobody knew it was him until today," Edmonds said.
Edmonds said Taylor lived on the west side of Thomasville and would often walk to the east end of the town. He said the 18-year-old was known to listen to his music and would often cross the railroad tracks to reach the east end of Thomasville.
Patrick Threadgill is a senior at Thomasville High School. He has known Taylor for about three years.
"He was an outgoing kid," Threadgill said.
The atmosphere at the school was somber, he said.
"A lot of people are taking it very hard," Threadgill said, adding that Taylor will be missed.
Frank Ingram, a senior at Thomasville High School, said Taylor was a "good kid, always friendly." Ingram was on the track team with Taylor this past year. The junior competed in the hurdles and discus events, Ingram said.
"He was pretty popular, a lot of people knew him," Ingram said. "He was laid back, always had fun."
Ingram learned around noon that Taylor had died.
"It was just devastating because I talked to him yesterday and (now) not to see him anymore," he said.

IN THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, Barack Obama's courtship of young Americans led to a newfound political enthusiasm among Millennials, a demographic group born between 1980 and 2000. This November, Obama for America (Part II), attuned to a surge of Hispanic and single-women voters, doubled down on that youth vote, orchestrating the best campus-based grass-roots operation in history. The strategy worked again: The majority of young voters chose to reelect the candidate their generation trusted in 2008.
As a result of the Obama campaign's enormously potent political machinery — think frenetic door-knocking merged with tech-savvy e-mail and social-media blitzes — the president's margin of victory among young voters increased in the most hotly contested battleground states, including Florida, Nevada, and Ohio. The turnout of young voters increased across the country, too. In the years ahead, Obama cannot let this powerful asset go to waste.
One misstep of Obama's first term was his failure to continue tapping into young people's advocacy and passion in the way his campaign did in the run-up to the election. The same young people who worked tirelessly to register volunteers and enlist canvassers would have gladly toiled as petitioners, picketers, and op-ed writers. If only someone had called on them as a group.
As a special correspondent for PBS this election cycle, I crisscrossed the country to try to piece together a portrait of the youth vote. From the Hoosier heartland to battleground states like Pennsylvania, from campuses in liberal New York to those below the Mason-Dixon Line, I saw young people who were more similar than different.
University of Nebraska students, for instance, told me that their support of fiscal restraint did not preclude a humane approach to immigration reform. At Long Island University, students feared a Romney administration would cut Pell Grants and other financial aid. But the student body president assured me that his peers did not believe government alone was the solution, just that it should always protect the most vulnerable. Some of the women I met at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley were concerned the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan ticket would turn back the clock on progress, be it in terms of reproductive rights or fair pay. And while they were relieved by Obama's ultimate victory, some are now unsure what goals to rally behind.
Most of all, these young people are eager to transcend the gridlock that has defined the politics of recent years — and they believe the best way to do it is getting personally involved in the gritty mechanics of governing.
Obama is going to need the help. During his first term, the president did not pursue any type of gun-safety legislation. Now, after the tragedy in Newtown, the White House is promising "meaningful action." If Obama is serious about winning this battle — one that may prove the toughest of his two terms — he will need to mobilize the young, activist Americans from his campaign rallies and social network (as well as those who didn't support him but will consider sensible solutions).
The 2000 recall fiasco, 9/11, the Iraq War, Hurricane Katrina, the Great Recession, Tucson, and now Newtown; these events and more cleared the path, again and again, for a new breed of politics. It hasn't yet arrived. Meanwhile, continued unemployment and skyrocketing debt among the nation's Millennials continue to be sources of financial distress.
Putting aside the inspirational rhetoric of 2008, these young people saw their 2012 choice as a defense against slipping into the past. Obama has a second chance to create a better future — but only if he lets his youth brigade get to work.

Solomon Hykes needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 192 designs submitted by 77 freelance designers.
Who we are
We are bunch of Silicon Valley dreamers, who think technology doesn't have to be complicated. It doesn't have to get in the way. Our message could be: "we are tech gurus - so you don't have to be". The mechanical hands in classy silk gloves. We love Apple and Heroku, because they put great technology at the service of a simple and clear user experience.
What we do
The web is the future of business - but why does it have to be so complicated? Startups and small businesses around the world want to run their software on the web - but they don't want to deal with servers. Installing and configuring servers is complicated, expensive, and a waste of their time. That's where we come in.
dotCloud offers an island of simplicity in an ocean of complication. Deploy any web software, in 3 clicks. No command-line configuration. No all-nighters reading cryptic documentation. It's just like the iPhone app store - but for servers.
Further design
We will eventually redesign our website around the new logo - let us know if you're interested.
We are targeting web startups and small businesses around the world, who have a need for web technology but don't want to deal with the complication. They are reasonably tech-savvy but can't afford a full-time sysadmin.
They are highly receptive to style, esthetics and simplicity.
We need a logo which conveys our message of simplicity. It's a technology service that is innovative and powerful, but most importantly it's *simple*.
So far we have used blue & white combinations, but that is not an absolute requirement. The logo should work well on a light background.
Other than that, we have no particular expectation - be creative!

Top Baby Names of 2012
We reveal the most popular girl and boy baby names of 2011 and the baby name trends we think will be big in 2012.

Top Picks of 2011
For girls, Isabella (Italian, God's oath) and Sookie (American, unknown) took the top spots in 2011, while parents favored Jacob (Hebrew, supplanter) and Max (Latin, short for Maximillian, Maxwell) for boys. This could be a carry-over of the vampire mania we've seen for the past two years thanks to pop culture hits Twilight and True Blood. Isabella and Jacob were also the top two names in the Social Security Administration in 2011, making these all-around popular choices.

What the Celebs Chose
Celebrities are known for their crazy name choices, but this year they kept to the straight and narrow. For girls, Tori Spelling named her new daughter Hattie (variation of Harriet, Henrietta); Ivanka Trump went with the feminine Arabella (Latin, beautiful altar) for her firstborn; and Victoria Beckham chose Harper (English, harpist), which last year we predicted would be a top girl's name.
In the boy zone, Maya Rudolph picked the tried-and-true Jack (American, nickname for John or Jacob) for her son, while Alyssa Milano went with the slightly-offbeat but still classic Milo (German, variation of Miles, soldier).
A few celebs didn't let us down in the quirky category, though. Kate Hudson, who named her first son Ryder (English, horseman), veered away from the norm and named her new son Bing (German, pot-shaped hollow). Jessica Alba, who favored a nontraditional name in calling her firstborn daughter Honor (Latin, honor), picked the unusual but lovely Haven (English, place of safety) for her second.

2012 Trend: New Girls in Town
While super-feminine names topped the charts in 2011, there's a slight wrinkle to that trend with these elegantly old-school names for girls. Ann was the fourth most-searched name for girls, joined by Betty (English, short for Elizabeth), Haddie (English, short for Hadden, heather-filled valley) and Blythe (English, happy, free spirit) all in the top 50. We love that parents are giving modern popularity to these vintage names.
This also illuminates another emerging 2012 Trend: one-syllable names. Our list of short and sweet names was the second most-searched baby name list in 2011.

2012 Trend: Great Kate
Who didn't see this trend coming? Although the Royal Wedding bonanza is long gone, the new Duchess' nickname Kate (English, short for Katherine, pure) has skyrocketed in popularity. It ranked 14th this year, up from spot 33 last year. While her formal name Catherine (Greek, pure) wasn't in the top 50, readers have also expressed interest in Kate's sister Pippa's (English, short for Philippa) name, which claimed the 21st spot this year.
William (English, German, protector) has also risen in popularity, ranking 31st for boys up from 91 last year. Liam (Irish, short for William), a shortened version of William, is still flying high at number 5. English classics like James (English, derived from Jacob, supplanter), John (Hebrew, God is gracious) and Henry (German, ruler of the household) are all ranking in the top 50 for boys as well, while the regal Elizabeth (Hebrew, God's oath) took the 11th spot for girls.
- Jade Albert
2012 Trend: Feminine Names
Although readers are beginning to favor short and sweet names for girls, the widespread appeal of ethereal, ultra-fem names has kept them in vogue. Favorites like Emma (German, universal), Charlotte (English, strong), Grace (Latin, graceful), Olivia (Latin, olive tree) and Amelia (Latin, variation of Emily) will all stick around for 2012 and beyond.
- Veer
2012 Trend: New Boys on the Block
Last year gender benders like Riley (Irish, valiant), Rory (Irish, famous brilliance) and Aiden (Irish, fiery) were all the rage. This is a trend on its way out; while Aiden held on to spot four, Rory and Riley didn't rank in the top 50 for boys this year.
So what's new for boys' names? Readers still like a slightly offbeat slant mixed with some classic appeal, which is why boy names including Alexander (Greek, defender of mankind), Owen (Irish, young warrior), Connor (Scottish, wise), Benjamin (Hebrew, son of my right hand), Gavin (Welsh, white hawk) and Nicholas (Greek, victorious people) all peppered the top 50 list. They're a bit quirkier than straight-up classics, but still have a strong, solid resonance.

2012 Trend: Tried and True
Like a blue jeans and apple pie, some things never go out of style. That goes for baby names, too. Whether it's a backlash against super out-there celeb names or the out-unconventional unisex names we saw last year, some people prefer to stick with the oldies but goodies. Timeless classics were in the top 50 list for boys and girls, including Matthew (Hebrew, gift of God), Michael (Hebrew, who is like God?) and Andrew (Greek, strong and manly), along with nickname Andy, and Jennifer (Welsh, white wave), Sarah (Hebrew, princess), Rachel (Hebrew, female sheep) and Emily (Latin, industrious). There's a reason these names are so popular: they've all been past Social Security Administration list toppers. Our list of Names That Never Go Out of Style was also one of the top ten most-searched this year.

2012 Trend: Grandparents' Names That Are Cool Again
Everything old is new again with baby names in 2012. Names we'd expect for grandparents are now making a comeback; think Max (Latin, short for Maximillian, Maxwell), Ted (Greek, short for Theodore, Edward), Frank (English, short for Francis), Gus (Latin, short for Augustus, Gustave, Angus) and Bertie for boys, and Ellie (English, short for Eleanor, Elaine, Ellen) and Millie (short for Millicent, Amelia, Camilla, Mildred) for girls—all names ranked in the top 50 lists. Celebs might even be picking up on this trend; actress Jennifer Connelly gave birth to her daughter Agnes (Greek, pure) this year, and Tina Fey chose Penelope (Greek, weaver) for her second daughter.
- Veer
2012 Trend: Place Names
Love 'em or hate 'em, we know you look to celebs for baby name inspiration: our list of celebrity baby names was the most-searched for in 2011. Last year they helped set the uber-feminine name trend for girls; for 2012, they just might start a wave of naming kids after countries. Alicia Keys named her son Egypt, and Mariah Carey picked Moroccan for one of her twins. We predict geographically-inspired names will be seen again in 2012.

text: On Election Day in 1920, millions of American women exercised their right to vote for the first time. For almost 100 years, women (and men) had been fighting to win that right: They had made speeches, signed petitions, marched in parades and argued over and over again that women, like men, deserved all of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The leaders of this campaign did not always agree with one another–in fact, sometimes their disagreements threatened to derail their movement–but each was committed to the enfranchisement of all American women.

Nightclubs, Dance Music, & DJs
A Brief History of GlobalBeatz.net
Since 1998, back when it was originally known as TexasBeatz.net, GlobalBeatz.net has been a mainstay in the nightclub, dance music, DJ and night life scene.
Through the years, GlobalBeatz.net has known many forms and functions. It originally began as a messageboard and events website for the central Texas rave scene.
Later, it evolved into the largest online resource for DJs and artists around the world to promote their music, mixes, and accomplishments. With such a wide audience and tremendous distribution, t wasn't uncommon for DJs and producers to gain recognition from other countries half-way around the world.
In the past couple of years, GlobalBeatz.net has begun reverting back to its simple roots, and looks forward to becoming a valuable, long-term resource for the nightclub, dance music, and rave scene.

BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION, MACOMB, Ill. — Bob Nielson walked across the sizzling artificial turf at Hanson Field a half-hour before Thursday's game, cheap PROSOM no rx, PROSOM class, wearing a dress shirt and tie, looking cool while everything and everyone around him was on the verge of melting, buy no prescription PROSOM online. Online buy PROSOM without a prescription, It was Nielson's 21st season opener as a head football coach, it was his first as head coach at Western Illinois University, PROSOM images. PROSOM pictures, More than three hours later, the Leathernecks were finishing off a 42-9 win over Hampton, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. Effects of PROSOM, Nielson was a little sweaty, but still looking as cool as if it was a crisp autumn evening instead of an August evening furnace, PROSOM pharmacy.
This first game was like any other would be at a program that is rebuilding — some good, some not-so-good, some really bad, BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION. PROSOM for sale, So, in the air-conditioned comfort of the Hall of Fame Room in Western Hall after the game, where can i buy cheapest PROSOM online, Where to buy PROSOM, Nielson approached the night as when it started, with a sort of calm that comes with a veteran coach who has been through just about everything, cheap PROSOM. Buy cheap PROSOM, Not long before Nielson met with the media, he met with his team, is PROSOM addictive, PROSOM price, coupon, and he had a message — this was only the first step.
"Our job in Week 2 is to make a quantum leap in improvement, purchase PROSOM online no prescription, Get PROSOM, " Nielson said. "And there's certainly room to do that."
Nielson, rx free PROSOM, PROSOM steet value, and everyone else, knows that the Leathernecks aren't a quick fix, after PROSOM, PROSOM mg, nor should they be if you want to do it right. BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION, What the Leathernecks showed on Thursday night was what was expected — the defense had nine takeaways, the offense had three touchdowns but plenty more mistakes, special teams were good (Nathan Knuffman dropped some punts deep in Hampton territory) and bad (Knuffman had two kicks blocked and there was a snap on one of them that rolled to the holder rather than get to him on a line).
But the one thing about the night that stood out was the coolness the Leathernecks showed as they copied their coach, PROSOM without prescription.

"We did not capitalize on some of that field position in the first half," Nielson said. "We really could have separated that game. BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION, When you get opportunities to do that in college football, you have to do that."
But Hampton wasn't going to rally on this night, and the Leathernecks, instead of letting momentum getting away, kept building on it by securing turnover after turnover.
There is still some work to do on offense. Nikko Watson proved that he can be one of the best backs in the collection of backfield talent within the Missouri Valley Football Conference by rushing for 108 yards, while J.C. Baker provided a nice change-of-pace as a speed back.
Trenton Norvell survived his first college start at quarterback with a conservative 84 passing yards. Norvell was 14-of-24 throwing, and was sacked twice, but he never turned the ball over, BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION.
Nielson has talked in the past how he wants his quarterbacks to manage the game, and Norvell did that.
But Nielson knows he can do better.
"You think your game plan is pretty simple, but you've got to remember you've got a guy who is playing in his first college football game," Nielson said. "We rely on our quarterbacks to make a lot of decisions. BUY PROSOM NO PRESCRIPTION, I think we could have taken more things off his plate tonight that would have made him more effective. But at the same time, there were some good things."
What is a positive sign is that a lot of those playmakers on Thursday night were young players with room to grow. There was plenty of good, that can get better.
But it is one step, and Nielson knows it can be a long journey to get the Leathernecks back to where they once were.
The next step is next week at home against Quincy, when the temperature is predicted to be a lot cooler than Thursday night.
Cool, it seems, is a big part of these new Leathernecks.

I consider myself as an attacking option: Lyon
Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon said that he would be looking to attack the Indian batsmen on spin-friendly tracks rather than containing them when the four-Test series commences in Chennai on Friday.
"I think myself as an attacking option in this Australian side. And also with (Xavier) Doherty around, we have the capability to put the ball consistently in right place. We hope we will able to do that," said Lyon on Tuesday.
He also said that he had been working hard on variations, after having watched the English spinners during the India-England Test series late last year.
"I watched (Graeme) Swann and (Monty) Panesar bowl in India, while was back in Australia. I have no doubt that variations are important and worked on that before coming here. I have got different strategies as well and I hope I can use that," said Lyon.
Stating that Swann is his favourite off-spinner among the current crop, Lyon said, "At the moment I look at Swann and what he is doing."

'Our pacemen will do a lot of damage here'
On whether there would a lot of pressure on him as a first-choice spinner, the 25-year-old said he is confident of doing his job well.
"Certainly, when you play at international level there is pressure on you to perform. The big thing about our bowling squad is that we have got quality quicks in there. Our pacemen will do a lot of damage here with variable bounce and lot of reverse swing. As for me, as a spinner I have a certain role to play. Hopefully, I will be able to that job for Australia.
"I am very confident. I have good preparation so far having already spent 12 training days in India. I have not had a day off so far. I have learnt about Indian conditions so far, and about my bowling in this condition. I am very confident going into this game," he insisted.
Lyon, however, refused that he had worked on anything particularly for the upcoming tour.
"No, it is just about keep working and bowling a lot more and improving myself. Obviously for a spinner, it is great place to tour and I am looking forward to the opportunity. To bowl in conditions as these against best batsmen and I am very excited with the prospect. Can't wait," he said.
He also revealed that he does not have a doosra in his armoury.
"I can't bowl that one as I have tried it before and it has not worked for me."

'I am only worried about my game plan'
On whether he had got any tip from legendary spinner Shane Warne, Lyon said: "I didn't meet him this time. He is a great bowler. I spoke to him before the India series last time, and his advice was unbelievable. On what he said, I can't let all the secrets out."
India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh had recently said that the hosts can beat Australia 4-0, but Lyon said he was not reading too much into it.
"I didn't even know that there were mind games going. I haven't read about anything. I am only worried about my game plan and my performances in and around training. We had great series against India back home. Obviously the conditions were different, but we certainly have now confidence especially as we won 4-0. So we are taking positives from that series."
Lyon said though the likes of Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, both of whom retired from international cricket last year, would be missed, it will be a fantastic chance for some of the youngsters to prove their worth.
"Dravid and Laxman are two of the greatest. They are a very talented batsman. So I certainly think they will miss them but they have upcoming cricketers like (Virat) Kohli, who is a fantastic cricketer. And it is a fantastic opportunity for them," he stressed.

I think the previous reviewer may have used it backwards, I put the bare end of the wire into the hole on the kube lead and the crimped on end I put on the back of the rope connector with the included wing nut and it works great for me, I wish it was a little longer, though.
Barbara G from Virginia
Unfortunately, the Rope to Energizer wire connector for the energizer does NOT fit the Kube energizer hot lead. The connector is too small to slip onto the hot lead screw. Poor design. The largest connector should have been put on this end to accomodate all energizers. I had to cut off the connector and use the bare wire to wrap aroudn the energizer hot lead.

Developer questions Planning Board action
A request has recently been received by the Town of Grand Island for permission to erect a "high rise" complex to house the elderly on property along Baseline Road. The project has been proposed by the Lutheran Council of the Niagara Frontier and is aimed at providing housing for persons 62 years of age and older.
According to a statement by the Rev. L. W. Lautenschlager, "The building would be self-contained but must be located close to community facilities." He further stated that the site chosen across from St. Stephen R.C. Church "Is an excellent location as it is close to shopping areas, churches, all within walking distance."
At its formal meeting on Monday, Feb. 26, the Grand Island Planning Board unanimously recommended against the project, citing the fact that the plan presented by the developers does not meet the requirements of the town's zoning laws and ordinances. ...
At the present time, the (proposed) six-story building on a 3-1/2 acre site would limit the number to 64 apartment units ...

Legislator fights proposal for sludge
An interim report of the Erie County Sludge Management Committee has Legislator Charles M. Swanick up in arms over maps "which show that close to 85 percent" of the entire Island was selected for land-spreading of sewage sludge.
Grand Island residents and landowners have good reason to likewise question the possibility that the Island may be selected as a site for possible land-spreading of sewage treatment sludge.
What Swanick wants to know is: Where will the sludge for the proposed land-spreading here be coming from? Who will authorize land-spreading of sludge on the Island? What agency or group will oversee the land application of the sludge and perform the tests to ensure it is non-toxic?
And Swanick as well as Island taxpayers are asking: If a disaster should occur and toxic sludge be applied to the land here, who will take responsibility for this disaster? ....

Town Board members listen to speaker
Last Wednesday, numerous members of the Grand Island Town Board as well a handful of Island residents were on hand to listen to Don Owens, who addressed the attendees in the Town Hall conference room on why sinking foundations occur, and why they affect homes.
Following an article that appeared in an early January edition of the Dispatch, approximately 36 concerned residents contacted Supervisor Peter McMahon after witnessing abnormal structural problems with their respective homes. This led to McMahon and board members carefully examining the issue. Eventually they sought outside help.
Upon learning of the town's circumstance, Owens, an employee of Earth Dimensions, agreed to share his expertise with the town. According to Owens, there are two causes of sinking foundations - K failure and vertical failure. ... Of the 36 affected houses on the Island, approximately 18 are experiencing K-failure while the other 50 percent are experiencing vertical failure. K-failure occurs due to horizontal pressure, which causes cellar wall damage. Vertical failure is associated with the drying out of the sub layer of clay under the house. ... Currently the town is awaiting word from the engineering department on what they should do, if anything, to prevent this from happening.

Immortalised in art....at last!
As many of you will already know, there is a great new cake blogger on the scene called Cakeyboi.
Alongside all his lovely bakes (seriously, lovely bakes – check them out!) he's also a pretty awesome artist. Being as vain as I am, when he emailed me asking if he could do a Caked Crusader cartoon I was hardly going to say no!
Here is his latest masterpiece...of moi. I still can't decide which I like more – the whisk or the cupcake symbol beamed into the sky to tell me that someone, somewhere needs cake. Love it!
Thanks Cakeyboi!

Members of 'Happy Days' cast sue CBS for $10 million over share of merchandise sales
Members of the "Happy Days" cast sued CBS Corp. on Tuesday, alleging they're not getting a cut of the money made in sales of DVDs, lunch boxes, board games and other merchandises related to the television show.
The plaintiffs named in the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court include Anson Williams, Marion Ross, Don Most, Erin Moran and Patricia Bosley, wife of the late Tom Bosley, who died last year. Two prominent members of the 1974 to 1984 sitcom, Henry Winkler and Ron Howard, are not party to the lawsuit.
The suit alleged that CBS cheated the plaintiffs of out of more than $10 million in revenue from the sale of products featuring their images, including gambling machines, T-shirts, board games, greeting cards and drinking glasses.
The actors claimed their contracts with the show's producer, Paramount Television, which has been folded into CBS, guaranteed 5 percent of 100 percent of net proceeds from merchandises that use their name, voice or likeness. However, they said CBS has not shown them revenue reports and even told Moran that no money was owed to her.
"Despite this ongoing obligation, defendants adopted a 'don't ask, don't pay' policy," the suit said. "If you don't ask, then we don't pay."
CBS said it intends to honor its obligation.
"We agree that funds are owed to the actors and have been working with them for quite some time to resolve the issue," the company said in a statement Tuesday.

Integrating OGG into MacOsX
Warning: this project is in study/design stage.
This project consists on integrating the Ogg Format and Vorbis Codec into MacOS X. That will result on having that in every sound application.
The work consists of two main parts.
- The Audio File Format should be recognised
- The Sound should be coded/decodec.
To do such tasks, the new Core Audio API will be used.
The first part would consist of the creation of an AudioFileComponent. That component has to implement the AudioFileComponentBase AudioFileFormat and AudiofileObject classes. The example on CoreAudio/AudioFile is a good starting point. It implements a rawAudio file reader/writer. The OGG part of ogg-vorbis should go here. The streaming support go here too.
The second part is the codec support. To support Vorbis, the creation of a AudioCodec is needed. The example on CoreAudio/AudioCodecs is a good starting point too. It implements an IMA4 codec. No file format is implied here. So, there should be a glue ( that I haven't discovered yet ) from the AudioFileComponent API to know that contained data is Vorbis and launches the correct AudioCodec.
Finally, for the rest of Ogg Codecs, just the second part is needed.
NOTE: This is not sufficient for full OS X support. Many if not most OS X applications (iTunes, for example) use Quicktime APIs for playback and encoding of media files. Quicktime does not use the Core Audio components (yet). If we want to support those applications it will be necessary to also create two Quicktime Components. We would need a Movie Import component and a Movie Export component (codes 'eat ' and 'spit'). It has been suggested that some time in the future Quicktime will use Core Audio components if they exist, but it is not known when that will happen. In any case, the Quicktime components will still be necessary for Theora support and may even be necessary for multi-link Vorbis files as well.
Work in progress...

Weekly Muppet Wednesdays: Jerry
Performed by...
Jerry Nelson
First appearance...
The Perry Como Winter Show (1972)
Most recent appearance...
The Muppet Show Episode 322: Roy Rogers & Dale Evans (1978)
Best known role...
Guitar player for The Country Trio; puppet representation of Jerry Nelson
Also known as...
Jerry is the guitar player for the Country Trio band, alongside Jim on banjo and Frank on bass. He first appeared with the band on The Perry Como Winter Show in 1972 where they performed "You Don't Mess Around with Jim." The following year Jerry returned to TV with the band on The Dick Cavett Show to perform the classic tune "Mamma Don't Allow."
Jerry and the Country Trio would later appear briefly in The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence pilot in 1975. When The Muppet Show began in 1976, Jerry would make a few appearances both with the Trio and solo. His first Muppet Show appearance was with the Trio in perhaps their most well-known performance of "To Morrow" in Episode 105: Rita Moreno. In the song, Jerry took to the vocals with Jim. The Trio also performed "In The Summertime" in Episode 123: Kaye Ballard, but Jerry took a backseat to Jim's lead vocals, although he still got a few lines.
Jerry appeared solo singing in the backup for Paul Williams during "Old Fashioned Love Song." He would later play an Arab in the Spike Milligan episode of Season 3. Jerry's final notable appearance was in Episode 322: Roy Rogers & Dale Evans in Season 3 where he and Jim performed the song "Four Legged Friend" while atop a pair of cows. It should be noted that in this sketch Jim referred to Jerry as "Tex," but the name Jerry has stuck.
Jerry is not to be confused with Sesame Street's Little Jerry or Mr. Jerry. Little Jerry is, of course, the lead singer of Littler Jerry and the Monotones. Mr. Jerry is a kindly guitar player on Sesame Street whom Elmo says hi to in the TV special Families Stand Together.
The Muppets needed Jerry Nelson... Jerry was a Muppet representation of Jerry Nelson... point proven.

The Wabash Pastoral Leadership Program, founded at Wabash College in 2008, has received a $1.57 million continuation grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. The grant provides resources that will continue the program through 2016.
"Through the good work and creativity of Dr. Raymond Williams, the pastors in this program enrich their potential to make a difference as leaders for their churches and their communities," said Wabash President Patrick White. "We are grateful for the support from Lilly Endowment to continue this important work at Wabash."
The Wabash Pastoral Leadership Program selects 18 Indiana pastors who in their first five to ten years have demonstrated high potential for significant leadership. They participate in a series of meetings, conversations with outstanding leaders, and two study tours over a two-year period.
It provides pastors with a rich understanding of public life in Indiana and Christian resources that will help prepare them for major leadership roles in the future. The goals of the program are to enhance excellence in ministry of a group of talented young pastors in Indiana and to raise the professional and social status of ministry appropriately by expanding their circles of contacts and influence.
"We are delighted that talented younger Indiana pastors affirm the value of the Wabash Pastoral Leadership program and pleased that this grant serves as a confirmation," said founding director Raymond B. Williams. "It enables Wabash College to continue the program through 2016, which extends the good work of the College in preparing leaders for Indiana communities."
"The renewal grant allows the College to continue to play an important role in the education of Indiana religious leaders," said Dean of the College Gary A. Phillips. "Wabash provides a welcoming environment for mid-career clergy participants to explore issues of great personal and community importance. In this way Wabash extends its educational mission to change lives and to make a difference in communities across the state."
The program provides occasions for the pastors to reflect and discuss how they proclaim the gospel effectively in contemporary culture and in their local contexts; to engage Indiana leaders about the challenges and opportunities in the state, exploring with them resources in Christian thought and practice for ethical analysis and effective response to such challenges and opportunities; and to be honored for their calling and potential through reflection, renewal, stimulation, and leadership development as they build friendships and relationships across the state.
"It's been an honor to work with such talented young pastors and to see the positive impact of the program on their lives, their ministries, and their communities," said the program's Associate Director, Verity Jones. "These leaders will help shape the future of our state."
The first cohort of 18 pastors participated in the program from 2009-11 and a second cohort is in the midst of the two-year program that ends in 2012. The continuation grant from Lilly Endowment will fund two additional groups of pastors in 2012-14 and 2014-16.
Participants in the program appreciate the time for reflection it provides, as well as the opportunities to build important networks.
"By spending time in dialogue about key issues with community leaders in government, education, economic development, and industry, I have discovered how sectors of our communities intersect for the common good," said Rev. Grace Burton-Edwards, who was part of the first cohort of pastor leaders. "This program has helped me see where the church stands at the intersections in Indiana, how pastors can bring the witness of the church to these intersections, and how we can support leaders from our parishes whose vocations call them to these intersections."
"We have learned a great deal about the life, work, and faith of these pastors at a critical point in their careers in ministry," added Dr. Williams. "The period from five to ten years in ministry is one in which pastoral identity is shaped and the scope and manner of ministerial career is set. The Wabash Pastoral Leadership Program is unique among leadership programs for pastors because it focuses on challenges and opportunities facing Indiana communities, congregations, and individuals in times of rapid economic, social, and religious change."
"As our mission to help students learn to 'lead effectively' affirms, Wabash College is committed to leadership development at every level," said President White. "We are glad to be associated with these leaders as they imagine themselves as difference-makers in a way that they may not have before. In learning more about their ambitions and their communities, we also learn new ways to facilitate the leadership development of our students, faculty, and staff."
