CLAREMONT – The Claremont Unified School District passed a recommendation Thursday to offer a career technical education course as an optional high school graduation requirement in lieu of visual and performing arts or world language course.
A representative from the Claremont Faculty Association, Barbara Bilderback, spoke out against the item because "in a community that values art so much" she said it could "allow students to graduate without students experiencing an art class."
Board members, like board president Mary Caenepeel, disagreed.
Caenepeel said some students might not have room in their schedule for art or foreign language and "I don't think we want to take those opportunities away from students."
The item passed Thursday night at the district's regular school board meeting.
In other news, the district discussed but did not make a decision on a proposed plan for district service center operations; El Roble Intermediate School was honored for its California Distinguished School Award; Roberta Mercer was named the district's classified employee of the year; and Terri Kegans was named the district's teacher of the year.

H. P. Lovecraft
The Shunned House
135 Benefit Street
The family home featured in H. P. Lovecraft's story "The Shunned House" is up for sale. Situated at 135 Benefit Street in Providence, Rhode Island, this south-facing house was built circa 1764, and offers:
Original wideboard floors, period details, 1/3 acre landscaped garden, 4 terraced areas, pergola, koi pond, 2 car garage with potting shed
All of which can be yours for $925,000, details here.
Lovecraft's story describes the mansion house on Benefit Street, as the building where Edgar Allan Poe:
...the world's greatest master of the terrible and the bizarre was obliged to pass a particular house on the eastern side of the street; a dingy, antiquated structure perched on the abruptly rising side hill, with a great unkempt yard dating from a time when the region was partly open country. It does not appear that he ever wrote or spoke of it, nor is there any evidence that he even noticed it. And yet that house, to the two persons in possession of certain information, equals or outranks in horror the wildest fantasy of the genius who so often passed it unknowingly, and stands starkly leering as a symbol of all that is unutterably hideous.
Interestingly, it was a house in New Jersey that inspired Lovercraft's tale, though 135 Benefit Street does have its own strange history:
Because of its policy of religious tolerance, early Providence had no common burying ground, no single place where everyone agreed to bury their dead. So, in accordance with the practice of the day, each family had a plot on their own land which served as a family graveyard. To us, this might seem a bit ghoulish, but it was just business as usual in colonial America.
Around the time of the Revolution, Back Street was widened and straightened and renamed Benefit Street, to relieve the heavy traffic along the Towne Street (now South Main) and to be "a Benefit for All." The remains in all those little family plots were removed to North Burial Ground, then just recently opened. Allegedly, though, some of the bodies were left behind, and still remain buried here to this day. And, according to local legend, a Huguenot couple lived, died, and was buried on the site of #135, and were among the bodies that were missed.
When Stephen Harris built this house, his family fell on hard times. Harris was a well-to-do merchant in Providence, and owned several merchant vessels; it is said that a few of those vessels were lost at sea shortly after the completion of the house. This led to other financial problems. Mrs. Harris also had a hard time—several of her children died, and others were stillborn. (I was told by the current resident, who has done her own research into the house's history, that there was never a live birth in the house.) Probably the most (melo)dramatic part of the legend, however, is Mrs. Harris's descent into madness, and her confinement to an upstairs room. She was occasionally heard to shriek out the window of this room, but in French—a language she didn't know. Where could she have picked it up? Dead Huguenots, anyone?

O Radix Jesse
O Root of Jesse, standing as a sign among the peoples;
before you kings will shut their mouths,
to you the nations will make their prayer:
Come and deliver us, and delay no longer.
About four years ago I read a book about liturgy and worship, I believe that it was by Nathan Mitchell. I can't find the book right now, so that's as accurate as I can get at the moment.
Mitchell was talking about the communal nature of liturgy and of how networks arise. Trust me – it made sense in the book, which I hope to get my hands on and quote more directly. He wrote about the roots of rhizomes, which unlike tree roots, that go deep, reach out to connect to one another. While I have thought of this many times over the years, I never thought of it in relationship to this O Antiphon until today.
The idea makes sense to me, as someone who considers social media their ministry. The Root of Jesse, which runs deep, runs crosswise as well – reaching out and connecting. Christ in each one of us draws us to one another.
Such roots are not easily discouraged either. If you don't believe me, think about how crabgrass can take over a lawn. The rhizome roots reach out underground and interconnect tightly. You can pull them, but they continue to seek each other out and reconnect.
What an image for us to pray with as we await the birth of Christ!
I can't help but point you to another post about roots. Deacon James Knipper writes about how we put down our own roots in Christ, click here.

The recent Arctic blast has finally put a cap on most area waterways, providing a stable platform on which some anglers make a stand for some ice fishing.
The recent Arctic blast has finally put a cap on most area waterways, providing a stable platform on which some anglers make a stand for some ice fishing.
"Safe ice" is clear, solid ice that contains no slush and is at least four inches thick to support a couple of anglers. Ice with snow or slush mixed in is not as strong and anglers heading onto the ice should drill test holes along the way to be sure they are remaining on ice that is thick enough.
No two bodies of water freeze at the same rate, and ice thickness varies across any body of water. Springs and inlets, bogs and beavers all make water freeze at different rates.
One of the most popular ways to load a stringer with tasty fillets through the ice is via the jigging method. A jigging rod and reel looks like a miniature version of a regular rod and reel. It is very short and the rod portion very sensitive to detect the often subtle bite of a panfish down under.
A sonar unit can be used to locate schools of fish or dropoffs between shallow and deeper water, helping put an angler quickly on some action. Without one, I use a weight on the end of the line to locate deeper water and get to jigging.
For big panfish, I go tiny with the terminal tackle. An ice fly or tiny jig is tipped with a bit of mealworm, wax-worm or spike. With the bait lowered to about two feet off the bottom, jigging the rod tip up and down provides some erratic flash, causing fish to investigate.
Once they spot the tasty offering, they will often inhale it. Sometimes it feels like a tiny peck at the rod tip and a hook set ensues.
Panfish often travel in schools, so getting the bait back to the same depth quickly is important. When the fish are feeding you can often pull a limit of 50 through a hole in no time at all. The cold, clean waters of our Pocono lakes makes the flesh of these winter fish firm and fresh, providing some excellent fish fry material.
Waters such as Tobyhanna Lake located off Route 423 in the Tobyhanna State Park and nearby Gouldsboro Lake in the Gouldsboro State Park are just two places worth putting on your ice fishing radar.
Tobyhanna contains roughly 170 acres and Gouldsboro another 250 acres. Both are great locations for perch, bluegills, bass and pickerel. Panfish provide plenty of action to help keep the interest level up, especially important for younger ice fishermen. If the fish aren't biting, kids will become bored quickly.
Dress for the weather and get out and give some winter hard water angling a try.
You may be surprised to learn how much fun this popular winter experience can be.

Two Rutgers basketball players on Mike Rice's team say the fired coach wasn't the abusive tyrant he appears to be on a widely viewed video that ultimately cost him his job.
"You can't let those individual moments define what he was," junior forward Wally Judge said during a telephone interview Thursday. "In my past two years, me being an older guy and being under other coaches, I have grown from the moment I stepped in these doors, not only as a player but also as a person because of how he has treated me."
Sophomore forward Austin Johnson agreed.
"He did a lot for us off the court, academically, socially," he said during a separate telephone conversation. "I have to say I enjoyed my time, even it was an emotional rollercoaster."
Rice was fired Wednesday, the day after a video aired on ESPN showing him shoving, grabbing and throwing balls at players in practice and using gay slurs.
"I feel if people had a chance to see the other portions of practice, or had been at practice, their judgment would not be as severe," Johnson said. "I am not saying what he did wasn't wrong, because I do believe it was wrong. But it is also tough because it was a highlight reel of his worst moments.
"I never expected for this to escalate as fast as it did," Johnson said. "We have to deal with this and it's new for a lot of the younger guys."
Judge believes some of those moments come across worse on camera than they really were.
"Honestly, a lot of the things that have been seen have been taken out of context. A lot of things that aren't seen are when we grab him and kid around," Judge said. "Like I said before, when people ask me why did I play for him, I told them 'He's a players' coach.'
"Mike was almost like a big brother. He would get on the floor with us and go through drills with us. He made it fun. When you have a big brother-type of figure, you know you can play around like that. I have grabbed Mikeand put him in a headlock and we joke around and kid. That was the type of relationship he built with his players."
Eric Murdock, former director of player development at Rutgers, put together the video that showed clips of several different practices over three years. In November, he showed it to athletic director Tim Pernetti. The following month, Rice was suspended three games for improper conduct, fined $75,000 and required to take anger management classes.
Like the two Rutgers players, Pitt guard Travon Woodall also defended Rice, who recruited him when he was an assistant coach there.
"They are going at my man Mike Rice too hard," Woodall tweeted. "He's the reason I came to Pitt."
Woodall later added Rice is "not the only coach to put his hands on a player, or talk the way he did."
Murdock played in the NBA and was viewed in the program as someone who could mentor players. His contract was not renewed.
"I have a lot of respect for him. When he was here, he was somebody I would talk to because he knew of my aspirations for playing at the next level and he was a guy who had done it," Judge said. "He was a great guy to talk to. As far as this situation goes, I understand everything that is going on; I can't necessarily be mad at him, but it's been blown out of proportion. There are certain ways of going about things and this wasn't the way."
Rice left Pitt to coach at Robert Morris before landing at Rutgers, where his record was 44-51 over three seasons. He posted a 16-38 mark in the Big East, after going 73-31 in three seasons at Robert Morris. The Scarlet Knights went 15-16 this season and 5-13 in the league.
Rice's assistant, Jimmy Martelli, who was with him at Robert Morris, resigned Thursday.
Judge, meantime, insisted Rice wasn't a "villain."
"He wasn't a guy we hated or despised," Judge said. "After practice, we would all go in the locker room and laugh. It was never a sad face or a hung head. What he did was he separated the court and he separated life. When we were on the court, we were on the court and locked in. That's why you see so many intense moments because he was so locked in on turning this program around. When we got in the locker room we were a family. We laughed."
Johnson hopes Rutgers' next coach can bring success to a program that hasn't been to the NCAA tournament since 1991.
"I feel like winning solves everything," he said. "If we can get someone in and change the culture, I feel like all this stuff will be forgotten."
Said Judge: "We don't want a white-collar, clean-cut guy. We want somebody who understands us and will push us every day, like Rice did."

As more and more companies look to the cloud to store their information, the era of being able to mindlessly click "OK" or "Agree" on the terms of usage may be over.
When your information is stored on your network, you (or one of your IT minions) are responsible for keeping it safe, secure, and backed up. But when you shift from local storage to "the cloud", you need to understand that you now live by the terms and conditions set by someone else.
There are two sets of word-dense documents you need to read before marrying yourself to a cloud service: the privacy policy and the terms of service. Yes, the words will bleed together from all the legal jargon, but they're important. Every service has its own terms, and what's in there and how it's written vary widely.
Remember that when you upload content, you are essentially publishing it - even if you think it's just for your eyes. For any cloud service to work as designed, you give the service permission to store and make copies of the content you upload - this is how your stuff ends up everywhere you want it. The cloud copy is the master.
Google, for instance, clearly states in its terms of service that apply to all things Google: "You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights that you hold in that content. In short, what belongs to you stays yours." But where the Google policy may read a bit murky is what you entitle Google to do with it: "When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content."
That permission continues even if you stop using the services, the contract says. Google issued a statement, explaining why it, or for that matter others such as SkyDrive or SugarSync, would need to spell out its rights with your content. "Our Terms of Service enable us to give you the services you want - so if you decide to share a document with someone, or open it on a different device, you can."
Competing cloud service Dropbox makes no claims to user content. "You retain full ownership to your stuff," the terms of service reads. "We don't claim any ownership to any of it. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your stuff or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services." I've read and reread terms and privacy policies from SugarSync and another service called Box, and they don't seem to make mention of ownership of your content.
And what about someone else, such as law enforcement, trying to access your information? With your own server, you'd have to be served a warrant for legal access to your hard drives. But with remote storage, you may not know whether a subpoena or warrant has been served on the cloud service provider, depending on what the company says it will do in the terms of service.
One thing is certain - as these services become more and more integral in how we store and access our information, the companies will need to prove themselves trustworthy as we bank our bits and bytes with them. "All of this comes back down to trust," said Frank Gillette, an analyst at Forrester Research. "These organizations, like banks, have to convince people they are trustworthy."
Unlike banks, however, there is no insurance for the security - and replacement - of our information stored online. Although nearly every provider's terms read differently, one thing remains the same. They all tell you explicitly they are not responsible for any loss you experience.
So before jumping on the cloud bandwagon, you might want to figure out how to back yourself up if your stuff should dissipate like an actual cloud in the sky.

revmarketers needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 8 designs submitted by 3 freelance designers.
We need a logo for a new web-based TV show entitled Stompboxguru.com. This will be a really hip social media related site with really bright and sharp colors. This is a site that's dedicated to guitar effect pedals (stomp boxes).
We have a few things in mind:
1) We really like green (#95d040), orange (#ff9900), and/or red (#f71d00). You don't need to use those exact colors, but something close to that would be preferable.
2) We're leaning more towards sans serif fonts, but are open to any ideas you have.
3) We really want a logo that pops right off the screen. Not necessarily 3D, but something that's sharp and exciting.
4) We'd be open to incorporating some form of guitar pedal and/or character in the logo to give it life, but is not mandatory.
5) MUST be in vector format (.ai, .eps). No photoshop files please.
6) We want your creativity - make this site come to life!
Links to pedal sites
sharp, engaging, exciting, rock n roll, hip, fresh, colorful, bold
logos that are drab and don't pop

I found a book that was written by Evelyn Bartow.
It is titled "Bartow Genealogy" " containing everone of the name of Bartow decended from Doctor Thomas Bartow who lived in Crediton, England AD 1672"
In the book she has added another section called "The Barto Family"
"Till of late years, all of the name of Bartow in this country were suppose to descent from the Rev. John Bartow. Recently however investigation shows that a few members of the Barto family have added a w to their name, but trace their ancestory to a time anterior to the 18th century and too far back to be descendants of Rev. John Bartow. By tradition they claim descent from two brothers John and Francis, who were born say 1670 and came direct from France to Long Island"
She goes on to list this family with it's descendants.
I believe she wrote this book somewhere around the late 1800's
Both the Bartow family and the Barto family descendants are listed.
Nowhere do I see Thomas Jefferson Bartow (sr) listed or anyone that could be him or his father in either the Bartow or the Barto family.
It is interesting that Elijah Bartow is not listed either.
On the Barto side she lists that Jonah Barto went to Ohio in 1760 and there is nothing further on him.
On the census for 1850 TJ (sr) was listed on the census as T J Barto.
Elijah is listed as Elijah Bartow on the registary for "The Militia-Westchester County Third Regiment". Which was during the revolutionary war. He was also listed as having property in Queensbury New York and being "The first settler at the Ridge was Elijah Bartow who plied his trade as a blacksmith on what is known as the Gould Sanford farm. He lived in a log house near by."
Thomas Jefferson Bartow(sr) family was in New York many years. The Rev John Bartow family had many in New York.
TJ (sr) family went from New York to Ohio back to New York then to Wisconson.
I am confused why TJ (sr) family would not be mention, why Elijah's family would not be mentioned in this book. The records clearly state that they were there.

June 2013 Nuts & BoltsPosted in How To on June 1, 2013
Nuts, I'm Confused
Heavy Front F-150
Q Hello, I have an '04 F-150 Fx4 and plan to lift it about 6 inches and run 35s. My question, however, is about aftermarket bumpers from Buckstop. According to the website the bumper (complete with guard) for my truck weighs 190 pounds over stock. I don't think that includes the estimated weight of a winch. Is there any special considerations I should make while installing the new suspension up front? I plan to use the full suspension kit from Skyjacker with add-a-leaves and 35-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cody G.
Via email@example.com
A Adding the extra weight will likely preload the front suspension and take up some of your tire clearance for 35-inch Nittos. Skyjacker adds a spacer ring to the front strut in the lift kit, and adding a second spacer ring will help make up for the height loss from the added weight. Moog also offers both a standard-duty and a heavy-duty replacement front coil spring and can be sourced through RockAuto.com. With the heavy-duty front Moog coils and the second spacer you should have enough room for the 35s along with your winch. I'm picking your letter for our Nuts, I'm Confused letter of the month and will be sending you a copy of our 2012 Ultimate Adventure DVD. It weighs less than a pound and will not affect your front spring rate!
Need 74s?
Q I live in coastal North Carolina. I never rockcrawl or ride tough trails. The most my K5 Blazer sees is occasional beach trips in the summer and local camping trips in the winter. Currently I own an '89 Chevy K5. It has a TBI 350, a 700R4, and an NP241 transfer case. The motor is stock except for the normal exhaust and other small things. It's lifted around 8 inches and has 37x13.50x15 tires on the stock GM 10-bolts. It has the factory G80 in the rear geared 3.73 and is open up front, and I know I need to regear to about 4.56 since I have overdrive. I drive the truck almost every day but never really give it hell. I read online all the time on various forums that "you just have to get a GM 14-bolt if running over a 35-inch tire." I do understand that there is a good option for me to upgrade to a 14-bolt semifloat so I can keep six lugs rather than regearing and upgrading to chromoly axleshafts and spending all that hard-earned cash on a 10-bolt.
What is the best option? I'm sure there are other people out there who love lifted trucks and who just take them camping and use them as daily drivers and who don't go to the Rocky Mountains every weekend! I know a Dana 60 in front and a GM 14-bolt rear is what everyone claims is best, and I know it is a good combo, but I don't tear my rig up every time I drive it and am just wondering if my current setup will hold up to 37s…or am I on borrowed time?
North Carolina
A I'm not going to tell you that your axle won't break with larger-than-stock tires, but I always say if the axles are working just run 'em! Everyone thinks you need to upgrade your axles just because you are running big tires, and I agree that having appropriately matched gears for your tire size is helpful, but I doubt you need a 60/14-bolt for what you like to do. Larger tires will decrease the longevity of your axles, but even so I don't think your axle will suddenly explode under your truck just because you bolt on 37s.
I replaced the 10-bolt and semifloating 14-bolt in my Suburban a couple of issues ago ("Got 74s?" Mar. '13), but that was because I had bent the front axle, needed lower gears, wanted a locker, and fully planned on abusing the truck some more. If I was going to just daily drive it and cruise the dunes (no more jumping) then a new straight 10-bolt and gears in the existing axles would be fine.
I agree that the semifloating 14-bolt or a six-lug Dana 60 rear would be a great upgrade and probably smarter than investing a lot in your rear 10-bolt, but this all depends on how you drive and how secure you feel with the 10-bolt. I think your front 10-bolt will be fine.
So what would I do? I love overbuilding and have been accused of wanting a 60 and 14-bolt in everything I own, which is probably true. But I also always end up doing dumb stuff like jumping my truck or bashing it through a ditch or over a rock or whatever, and then it's nice to know I'm not going to be dragging home a busted axle. I hope as I get older I'll smarten up and stop driving like a jerk and eventually not need to put big parts under everything I drive (probably not). Here is my advice for you: Do a cost analysis of gears and a locker or limited slip for your rear 10-bolt versus the same for a semifloat six-lug 14-bolt. Then start looking for the semifloat 14-bolt—I see them all the time for $300 or less. I think you'll find one pretty inexpensive and realize that the money for gears and a diff will feel better spent than doing the same on your 10-bolt.
Cut Grind Wheel
Q I recently purchased a set of stock steel Chevy wheels from an '06 Silverado hoping to put them on my Toyota. I came across this wheel deal and remembered seeing them on a Toyota. This Toyota happened to be on the cover of your Sept. '09 issue. Come to think of it, it was the only Toyota I have ever seen running these wheels. After returning home with my wheel loot excited to be the only other person I knew of running these Chevy wheels on a Toyota, I realized they suffered from the typical stock-Chevy-wheels-on-a-Toyota syndrome. The center holes are too small to fit over the hub assembly. Which brings me to the point of this letter. What did Mr. Moustache do to fit these wheels on his Toyota?
Gabe E.
Potter Valley, CA
A Cutting the center hole out of a wheel to clear an axle hub can be done cleanly or as a backyard hack job depending on your planned use. I have seen guys cut them open with a plasma cutter or torch, but these are on vehicles that don't see the street and don't need to be well balanced. I have also seen guys cut them out with a hole saw, but it's difficult to get the saw centered over the opening and get a perfectly centered hole. This works OK, but is only slightly better than using a torch or plasma cutter. The best option is to find someone with a mill or lathe that can center up the wheel and machine out the center to fit over the axle hub. This often requires a large machine to fit a wheel in or on, and all of a sudden your inexpensive used wheels are costing you time and money at the machine shop. I think getting the right wheels in the beginning would be cheaper unless you can do one of these three jobs at home.
Q We live in an area with a lot of snow and ice on the roads for at least four months a year. If I own, for instance, a '12 Chevy 1⁄2-ton, crew cab, four-wheel drive, would it make sense to add any weight to the vehicle to try and balance out the front/rear bias? If so, roughly how much weight, and where should it be placed (near the axle, behind axle)? I assume the truck has an overall weight of 5,700 pounds, with 800 pounds more over the front axle. To clarify, we're not asking about off-road ability, but rather good, predictable, safe handling in snowy/icy weather.
Anonymous on Ice
Via email@example.com
A Adding weight to the bed of a pickup truck is often done in the winter to help keep the tires planted on the ground. This is helpful for acceleration and cornering on snow and ice, but it doesn't guarantee traction. Studded snow tires, chains, siped tires, and cautious driving are just as important or more so than adding weight.
The exact amount of weight in the bed varies depending on size of vehicle and conditions, but I would think you want enough to just slightly load the suspension, and putting it behind the rear axle so it leverages onto the tires is best. Be sure you strap it down well so it doesn't slide around in the bed and cause more problems due to imbalance.
Another option would be to add a camper shell. It adds some weight to the bed area, plus it will keep your load covered during the winter.
Purist Performance
Q I've been the proud owner of a '53 Dodge M37 for three years. Everything is in great shape, and it's a blast to drive through the fields and creek beds we have here in Nebraska. The problem is I want more power than the stock 78hp engine can offer, and also more off-road capability than the stiff leaf springs and skinny stock tires are currently providing. However, because everything is in such great shape, I'll have a bunch of purists with pitchforks in my driveway if I modify this (already working!) fine piece of American iron.
To avoid this problem, I've decided the best thing to do is to sell the chassis and drivetrain combo whole to someone, while I keep the cab/bed and put it on a more modern frame/drivetrain. What pickup chassis/drivetrain combos are best fit for this? I really want a diesel, possibly a Cummins 5.9L, but finding a diesel engine in a truck with a 112-inch wheelbase to match my M37s is proving to be tough. I can weld and fabricate, but I want this swap to be as smooth as possible.
Josh D.
Via firstname.lastname@example.com
A The purists with pitchforks will not be happy with you no matter what you do to your truck, but it's your truck so do what you want with it. Everyone has an interpretation of what is best for an old truck. Some want it stock like it came off the factory floor, others want it looking like it did at the end of the war, others want it modified but only with period-correct '70s modifications, and some will tell you to just go buy a new Power Wagon with heated seats and cupholders. You can't make everyone happy, but I understand the desire to try. If someone has a problem with what you are doing to the old truck they can always buy it from you and fund your next project.
I have an M37 that I modified for off-road use, but unlike yours, mine was just a shell when I found it—no engine or gearboxes and pretty beat up. Of course I ticked off a few purists and Mopar guys because I put a GM V-8 in mine, but at the same time I can drive mine to the trail and show it to other people instead of storing it in the shed and only driving it in parades. Not that parade trucks are bad, just not my thing.
I have seen many M37s with the Cummins four-cylinder diesel in them, and this seems to be a "purist approved" upgrade since Cummins engines come in Ram trucks. (Though the 4bt never came in any Mopar that I know of). I don't think changing the frame is that important; they are pretty stout frames. I was able to box and modify my M37 frame pretty well and it works great as an all-around wheeling work truck. Finding M37s in rougher condition isn't hard; I see them all the time in online classifieds.
If you want to keep everyone happy, sell your M37 to a purist, find another one in rough condition, and swap in the engine and suspension you want. If you want to stick to your original plan of putting the body on a late-model frame, I would look for a Dodge truck with the 5.9L Cummins diesel. You will need to cut and shorten the frame a fair bit because the shortest Cummins Dodge in the early '90s has a 131-inch wheelbase, and fit the radiator, intercooler, and steering within the smaller M37 body and grille. You may also need to cut and clearance the M37 firewall to fit the very large Cummins engine. The earlier (pre-'03) mechanical engines will be easier to swap in.
Either a manual or automatic is fine, but I feel that an M37 should have a manual (I have opinions just like purists). It's an old truck, it needs a stick shift. I know there were some early '90s Cummins Dodge trucks with a Getrag five-speed manual, an NP205 transfer case, a Dana 60 front, and a Dana 70 rear. I would look for one of these as either a parts truck or a chassis swap candidate.

By Glenn Ruffenach
Long-term care insurance was in the headlines again recently – and, as is often the case, the news was discouraging.
Genworth Financial Inc., the nation's largest seller of long-term care coverage, said last week that it was suspending sales of individual policies in California as it seeks regulatory approval for a new product, one with higher prices. The song is a familiar one: Steep health-care costs, low "lapse rates" (the odds of people dropping their LTC coverage before using it) and low interest rates (which reduce the amount of money insurers can earn by investing premiums) invariably translate into higher premiums.
The cost – which can run as high as $4,000 a year, or more, depending on a policy's features, your age and, in a growing number of cases, your gender – rightly gives many people pause. In an article in the Wall Street Journal this weekend, financial columnist Ellen Schultz looked at some of the issues that existing and would-be policyholders should consider when evaluating coverage.
Facilities: A policy should cover a range of facilities, including nursing homes, assisted-living centers, adult day care and hospices. Some newer policies reimburse for at-home care, even if not from a certified health-care professional.
Eligibility: The key here is "activities of daily living," which involve a person's ability to eat, bathe and dress, among other functions. Some policies require that a person be unable to perform six functions before benefits can kick in; others might require only three.
Benefits: A policy might not pay out as much as you think. It might cover a percentage of certain costs or a percentage of "usual and customary" charges. Even if your coverage is designed to pay a fixed amount – say, $6,000 a month – your insurer could determine that some expenses aren't covered; as a result, you could end up receiving something less than the fixed amount.
Affordability: One rule of thumb is that premiums should account for no more than 7% of your income; otherwise, you can't afford them. One way to reduce the cost is to choose a policy that pays for, say, three years of care, since most stays in care facilities last no longer than that.
A good resource on what to look for in policies and questions to ask agents is the "Guide to Long-Term Care," a comprehensive report issued by the state of Wisconsin.

Staff and volunteers from the Niagara Hospice Alliance are gearing up for the 2013 spring bouquet sale. The sale will run March 4-10 with pre-sale bouquets being ordered now and throughout the month of February.
In 2012, the sale raised more than $15,000 to support hospice care in Niagara County. Many local businesses, schools, service groups and churches have offered to help by pre-selling or by agreeing to sell bouquets during the week of March 4-10 at their respective locations. Bouquets sell for $8 each with an option to donate bouquets to Niagara Hospice patients and Niagara County veterans (if so desired).
"We look forward to the spring bouquet sale each year and appreciate all the help we receive from the community," said Niagara Hospice Alliance event coordinator Mandy Raff. "It takes many hands and volunteers to make this a fundraising success that is so needed to help offset costs of providing the special kind of care that Niagara Hospice has become known for."
Proceeds from the sale help support the mission of Niagara Hospice to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time. Raff stated that more help from the community is needed and encourages anyone who wants to participate to call the events department at 716-280-0766 or visit www.NiagaraHospice.org for more information.
No one is denied hospice care due to ability to pay. The Niagara Hospice Alliance raises funds to help offset costs for individuals who are under or uninsured. Gifts are tax-deductible and help provide quality end-of-life care with dignity to Niagara County residents in need.

Global Giving Green Open challengePosted by Holy Cross Anglican School at 6:54 AM
Hello friends and family,
I am writing to you to ask you to support Holy Cross Anglican School (HCAS) in the Global Giving Green Open challenge. To give you a little background, HCAS is a school in San Mateo, Ambergis Caye, off the coast of Belize. In Belize, even public education is not free. HCAS, which is funded through donation, provides pre-kindergarten through eighth grade education to 500 students. These 500 kids are the most disadvantaged on the island and would not have the opportunity of education without HCAS. Not only do these kids receive schooling at HCAS, but they also receive two meals per day; sometimes the only food they eat.
HCAS was selected as one of 20 organizations to participate in the Global Giving Green Open challenge. San Mateo is currently powered by diesel generators, making it extremely difficult and costly to consistently operate the volunteer built dental clinic and computer lab. Through GlobalGiving.org, we have the opportunity to install a combination of wind generators and solar panels. This will provide reliable, effective energy and help bolster Holy Cross Anglican School. HCAS is the only school on the Island with a computer lab this robust and large and opens its doors to adult education programming to serve the greater community. Both the dental clinic and computer lab are huge resources to San Mateo.
Through the Green Open challenge, HCAS has a HUGE opportunity to become a PERMANENT link on the GlobalGiving.org website. All we need is 50 different donors and a total of $4,000 in donations. For only $10 dollars, you can provide enough electricity for one computer for one month. For $75, you can provide enough electricity to support the dental clinic for one month. We only have until July 30th to complete the challenge, so please act quickly if this is something you feel you can support.
HCAS is a school that I fully support and believe will impact and improve the lives of thousands of children and the greater economy of Belize. By providing renewable energy to HCAS, we can help sustain this incredible place. I sincerely thank you for your thoughts and any (tax-deductible) contributions you can make to HCAS.

Living God's Gift of Masculinity
11/1/2013Archbishop William E. Lori
With this column, I begin a new initiative. It is the fruit of discussions I had with state chaplains and delegates at the 131st Supreme Convention this past August. The proposal is simply this: to offer a series of articles on men's spirituality. Indeed, I received enthusiastic requests to include topics such as saints who are role models for men, the role of men in society and the family, and the virtues appropriate to Knights of Columbus. Many asked me to write on the pressures and temptations that men face in living their Catholic faith in today's world, coupled with insights for growing in prayer. They also expressed hopes that this series would reflect the unique spirit of the Order with its four principles of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.
What prompted these requests to address the meaning of masculinity? For one thing, Knights live in a world where the role of men is ambivalent at best. Just look at how husbands and fathers are portrayed in popular entertainment. They are often depicted as insensitive to their wives and as inept role models for their children. The widespread acceptance of so-called "same-sex marriage" also calls into question what it means to be a man, a husband and a father — and how men and women relate to one another.
A growing number of children today — including four out of five in inner cities — are raised in fatherless homes. In many other cases, fathers are often absent from their families because of work or other activities. But even husbands and fathers who are present for their families may find their authority at home questioned. Add to this the sense of powerlessness that many faithful men feel today due to the deconstruction of marriage, the scourge of online pornography, and the marginalization of manly virtues and Christian values.
In the face of these and other tremendous challenges, the Order has a great deal to offer. First, the Knights can help men tap into a hidden source of strength — namely, the presence of Christ, especially in the Eucharist and in confession, where we encounter a love that is more powerful than sin. Knights also provide the camaraderie of like-minded men of faith who face the same daily struggles. Standing together reminds men of their strengths and how best to use them to improve their marriages, be better fathers, grow in virtue, serve others more generously and be better citizens.
Our Order offers a practical way of evangelizing husbands, fathers and their families, of helping them to understand and accept what our culture often rejects — specifically, how men and women should relate to one another in complementary ways and how vital the healthy relationship of a husband and a wife is for children. In short, membership in the Knights helps men embrace a solid, sturdy and secure understanding of manhood that includes the courage to defend life, virtue and authentic human values.
To be sure, writing these articles is no small order. Even as I begin this project, I hear an objection: "Archbishop, if you go down that path, won't you risk losing many readers? After all, Columbia is read not just by Knights, but also by their wives and family members. Will they want to read about men's spirituality?"
I sure hope so. Why? Because I am not planning to write "men-only" articles. My intent is to reflect on how men ought to relate to others: first and foremost to God as members of the Church, and then to their wives, families, friends and colleagues. My fellow Knights are asking: How can I follow Christ more closely? How can I grow in virtue or be a better husband and father? I'm going to wager that most readers are deeply interested in these questions.
Moreover, there is precedent for this emphasis. One of the reasons Father Michael McGivney founded the Knights was to help the men of his parish take ownership of their faith and to support them in their role as husbands and fathers. As a gifted and holy priest, Father McGivney could relate well to all of his parishioners. But he also realized that he couldn't serve wives and mothers very well unless he helped men embrace their vocation.
With his focus on evangelization and work with the laity, Father McGivney was ahead of his time. He saw every aspect of the Knights as contributing to the Church's mission, as a way of walking with his parishioners, even in their darkest hours. While the challenges in his day and ours are somewhat different, our duty to follow in Father McGivney's footsteps has not changed. How important that we see the Order as a way for men not just to hang on to their faith, but also to grow and flourish in it with their families.
Father McGivney never used the phrase "new evangelization," yet that is what he did: He helped his parishioners seek the face of Christ, to experience his love and to embrace the faith as a way of life. As Pope Francis teaches in his encyclical Lumen Fidei, faith is "capable of illuminating every aspect of human existence" (4). He further observes that we do not embrace and live the faith alone, but do so rather in a spirit of unity and fraternity (cf. 39, 51). It is my hope that these articles will, in some small way, catch that spirit and thus shed light on the Order's role in the new evangelization.

To be honest, my very first reaction was feeling very nervous and shaky! Although this feeling of shakiness continued throughout the ceremony, I did feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to those who have been my bosses, peers, mentors, friends and colleagues over the past four years here at Point Park University. I have grown so much as a student as well as a student leader and I would not be someone worth nominating for either award without their influence and guidance.
I chose to attend Point Park and study psychology mainly because of the different concentrations available with the major including forensic, clinical and child psychology. I appreciated the fact that I had options as to what I would like to concentrate in rather than receiving solely a psychology degree.
Psychology professors at Point Park have a number of different teaching styles. You may walk into a class and have a professor who has videos, notes and the usual lecture. On the other hand, you may go into a class where your teacher is walking in and out of the room or crawling into a garbage can in order to help you understand what it is that he or she is teaching. Studying psychology at Point Park has honestly been such a unique and passionate experience and I have my professors to thank for that. No matter the teaching style and how it may be different from the next professor, they all truly love what it is that they are teaching and that shines through in every class I have attended at Point Park.
I think Point Park will help me to reach my career goals through the many connections I made while in school. I created a number of valuable relationships with staff, faculty and students that I feel will help connect me to other professionals in my field.
To make the most of their time, I recommend each student get out and explore the resources that are available to him or her. Point Park is in Downtown Pittsburgh: the middle of a business district, directly adjacent to a cultural district and a short walk in either direction to sports stadiums. There are so many internships, community service opportunities and jobs that are at our fingertips as students of an urban campus, and so many faculty and staff willing to help facilitate these connections. Utilizing these resources is key in making the most of one's time at Point Park.
My career goals include obtaining a master's degree hopefully within the next one to two years. Until then, I will be on the search for a job that will hopefully provide me with valuable experience in order to make a decision as to what I will study in graduate school.

What to see in Tortola
Tortola Attractions
Tortola's main attractions are its pristine white beaches, which provide the perfect setting for swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing, and occasionally surfing in the perennially warm waters of the Caribbean. Popular beaches like Cane Garden Bay, Lambert Bay, Trellis Bay and Long Bay are all good locations for relaxation and watersports.
Scuba divers only need to go 6 miles (10km) off the island to reach the Chikuzen, a wrecked Japanese refrigeration ship covered in extensive coral that offers some of the best underwater photography opportunities in the world. Other good dive sites in Tortola include Smuggler's Cove and Brewer's Bay Pinnacle.
If you can drag yourself off the beach, sightseeing in Tortola can be rewarding, as there are a few interesting ruins and cultural sites that hint at its colourful past. You can view the ruins of the St. Philips Church, the grand William Thornton Estate, and the remains of a fort known now simply as 'the Dungeon'.
Road Town has a number of markets and museums, including the Virgin Islands Folk Museum and the HMS Prison. It's also the centre of Tortola's nightlife, with a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars and clubs.

In view of what he calls 'a dearth of engagement with the work being done by analytic philosophical theologians' (p. 4), Thomas McCall has written Which Trinity? Whose Monotheism? Philosophical and Systematic Theologians on the Metaphysics of Trinitarian Theology (Eerdmans, 2010) in hopes of promoting more interaction between systematicians and Christians doing analytic philosophy. Both spheres have much to learn from one another, McCall urges, especially when it comes to the doctrine of the Trinity.
The book contains three major sections. The first unpacks different proposals for understanding the Trinity that have been proffered by analytic philosophers, delineates theological desiderata that demand more attention than they have received in the analytic world, and then evaluates the various analytic trinitarian schemas in light of those desiderata. The second deploys the 'conceptual tools of the analytic approach' in appraising the doctrine of the Trinity in Robert Jenson, Jürgen Moltmann, evangelical debates about the 'eternal subordination of the Son', and John Zizioulas. The third concludes the book with 'theses for scholastic disputation on the future of Trinitarian theology that is both faithful to its truly theological heritage and attentive to contemporary metaphysical issues' (p. 7).
I'm interested to engage this book on two levels. First, I'd like to explore how exigent and promising are the proposals being developed by analytic philosophers on the doctrine of the Trinity. Second, I'd like to explore more generally (and perhaps only implicitly) what to make of philosophers who are Christians and passionate about theological issues (not simply theologians with a watchful eye on philosophical stirrings or a keenness to glean things from philosophical resources [say, speech-act theory or Aristotle on causation]) taking up the task of constructive work in Christian doctrine. A related question: should there be such a thing as 'Christian philosophy' or simply Christians who do philosophy in its own right and perchance see some of their insights utilized ad hoc by Christian theologians to whom the work of dogmatics is properly allocated?
Any thoughts before we get into the content of the book?

Female Maazun in Egypt
Still, her acceptance has been met with resistance among the young, traditional Muslims. "She can't do the job. I mean, there are so many reasons that she can't, but when it comes down to it, women are not made to be in positions of power," Heba Mahmoud, a female student at Cairo University said. Her belief is being echoed throughout the country.
Soliman, however, is excited to begin and believes her gender as female will aid her in one aspect of her job, making sure young brides are not being coerced into the marriage. 1 in 3 brides under the age of 18 in Egypt are forced into marriage.
As happy as I was to hear this news, Soliman said something that bothered me. "I don't want people, especially the West, to take me as a victory for women in Egypt and the Middle East. I am Egyptian and a Muslim so what I am doing is for here and not for the West."
How are Western feminists perceived in countries in the Arab world. Does Soliman truly believe that Western feminists would claim her victory as our own? We stand in solidarity with her and women all around the world, and we are excited women's successes everywhere, but we don't claim them as our own successes.

Great post! As for Amal Soliman's comment, I think that she perhaps meant that she does not wish her appointment as Maazun to be seen as a victory for either Christianity or secularism over Islam. She wants to make sure that she is seen within her proper religious and cultural context. That seems fair to me. She is correct in believing that there are certain western political leaders - yeah, I'm looking at you, W. - who, in searching for a justification of their actions, have claimed to be interested in women's rights. She wants to make it clear that this is not about them.

I can see where she's coming from in saying it's not a victory for Western feminists. Otherwise it'd just be something else for middle class white feminists (all things I identify as) to appropriate for their own good. I think we have to be careful to celebrate other people's achievements without hijacking them for our own causes and this is a good example of that.
- May 26, 2008 at 10:42 PM
I geniunely think many feminists, especially the self proclaimed liberals, are busybodies. I love my country and nothing has me snarling in the corner like someone feeling sorry for me, assuming that she knows my culture and telling me what I should do. We can figure it out for ourselves.
The female maazun is correct. So many American feminists regard all women as public property and believe that everyone should do as they're told. It's obnoxious busybodies like that who make it impossible to publicly identify as a feminist. La pobre habladora: you can't blame the conservatives for this one. Feminism's bad reputation is at least partly justified.
- May 27, 2008 at 4:35 AM
- Kate said...
Your comment made me really think, Irishgirl.
Is there a way for feminists in the west to celebrate victories without taking credit for them?
Did my post step over the celebration line into appropriation territory?
Can feminists from around the world really never help each other and teach each other what we have learned?
- May 27, 2008 at 10:43 AM
- La Pobre Habladora said...
Liberals= busybodies is a content-free insult unless you back it up with some evidence relevant to the post, and just coming to a site to hurl insults makes you a troll. It also seems like an ironic insult to throw at liberals, seeing as liberals were the ones who did NOT want to force a regime change in a foreign country without more substantial evidence indicating an actual threat. Seems to me like the current administration's policy of 'aggressively bring democracy to the middle east' makes conservatives the bigger busy bodies.
"So many American feminists regard all women as public property and believe that everyone should do as they're told." Hummm.... perhaps you feel like feminists' demands that women get paid fairly for the work they do makes women public property and implies women should do what they are told? Or our wanting to protect women from sexual assault makes women public property? Perhaps you feel like women daring to make their own decisions about how to balance work and family makes them public property? Wait, none of that makes sense... If you could name one way that "American feminists" have treated women as public property, perhaps you ideas would merit consideration. Otherwise, you are still in content-free territory.
"feminism's bad reputation is at least partially justified" We only have your word that these obnoxious busy-body feminists even exist, and no details about what they've been obnoxious about. So, based on this, it is you - someone who does not identify as a feminist - who is giving feminists a bad reputation, by spreading nasty unjustified rumors about feminists.
Kate, women can and should work to help one another. The secret is not judge other people for being different or not wanting the same things we do, or assume that they will feel solidarity with us despite being in very different places. We can help one another, but we can't necessarily apply 'what we've learned' to societies that are very different from our own. Not without doing some learning of our own, anyway.
- May 27, 2008 at 7:58 PM
la pobre habladora, I'm sorry you're upset, but you have to look at it from other perspectives. You objected to the Iraq war? Wonderful. That in itself does not make my criticisms wrong.
I have met many foreign women, especially Americans, who seem to think they understand my culture and have the right to comment on it. This usually involves giving unsolicited advice about what we should do about abortion, pay, maternity leave, pornography etc. I can sypathise with Soloman. In my experience, and that of the people I know (which is all I can speak for), Americans of all political persuasions like to lecture.
Feminists want equal rights for women, which is wonderful, but please do not use that as an excuse to butt into other cultures. You make change much more difficult when it becomes associated with cultural imperialism. Yes, liberals can do that, too. This is not something on which you can blame conservatives.
Criticising one part of the feminist movement is not damaging it, nor is it spreading lies. In my experience, Americans need to let women worldwide sort out these issues themselves, not tell them what to do in the guise of "helping". At least wait until you're asked for your opiniosn before giving it.
No Kate, I don't think you were appropriating, but you didn't seem to understand how closely linked feminism is in many countries with US attempts to control. It's not that these women don't want different legal systems, customs etc., it's that they - we - want these changes to be brought about from the ground up. We want control over our own lives and changes brought about by our own efforts. It's human nature to rebel whenever an outside with no (ot worse, a little) understanding of the situation starts telling us what we need to do and have.

Hey, no hard feelings -thanks for the clarification, Irishgirl. I liked your point that we don't "seem to understand how closely linked feminism is in many countries with US attempts to control." I wonder what has made that link in people's minds? Surely not the efforts of organizations like MADRE and the Global Fund for Women? Is the linking of feminism with US control based mostly on the tenor of conversations that people have with visiting US citizens? With the type of 'US forces will make women's lives better' rhetoric from politicians? From views that US women are 'uppity'?

Irishgirl, I'm an American who has been studying in Ireland for about five months now, and I'd just like to make you aware of the fact that I also have been the target of "lecturing" as you call it from many of the people I've met here. Sometimes it's been a genuine, productive political conversation, and other times it's just been snide and sarcastic comments that probably would have made me feel very unwelcome if I hadn't been able to just sort of laugh them off.
I'm not trying to turn this around and point the finger at Irish people; what I'm saying is that everyone, regardless of nationality, can be caught telling others how they should live from time to time. Unfortunately, the current US administration has gone off the deep end telling the rest of the world what to do, which exacerbates an already existing negative stereotype of Americans.
- May 28, 2008 at 6:06 PM
is feminism going to destroy the middle east now, too?
- May 28, 2008 at 9:57 PM
It makes me extremely sad that this woman feels Western Feminists are trying to steal her life and claim possession of her. I thought we wanted all women to be their own being, not "claimed" or "owned" by other people. It makes me even sadder that she is right to feel this way--some feminists treat women who aren't Western with the same patronizing attitude that colonists and chauvinists have, as though these woman are unable to succeed, accomplish, or progress without our "leadership".
I wish to share joy with my Egyptian sister and her accomplishments. It is not "my" success, it is hers, and I wish her nothing but goodwill. Walk with God, Amal Soliman.

- BEST blankets ~ soft and easily folded by students!
- Love these blankets! Have been teaching with them for 4 years and many students go ahead and buy them for their home practice. The navy blue ones are especially soft. They are easy to use in terms of instructing folding techniques because of their shape and identical sizing. Am committed to these for the rest of my life cause they never let me down!

Got one top done and trying to fussy cut the second one. The fabric frayed and I have barely enuf to cut what I need. I am so stressed. I even washed the second one differently - gentle and air dried it. Still was frayed. Thanks for listening. I hate the kits but they were the only ones I found that were Baby Signs. Can you tell I'm ornerly now? Sorry.
