Law enforcement officials said late Monday they found a bone fragment on the property next door to the home of Phillip Garrido, accused of keeping a then 11-year-old girl as his sex slave for nearly two decades and holding her hostage in his backyard.
Nearly two dozen officers spent the weekend combing the Antioch, Calif., property where Phillip Garrido and second wife Nancy Garrido hid Jaycee Dugard -- and the two children she eventually had with Phillip -- in a squalid compound of tents concealed by brush in their backyard for 18 years.
Authorities scoured Garrido's property and the immediate area with rakes, shovels and chain saws in the hopes of linking the couple to any other cases in the area. Cadaver dogs were unleashed in a yard of the couple's neighbor, where one of the suspects served as a caretaker.
A small bone fragment was found late Monday evening at the home of Garrido's neighbor, but cops said they weren't sure if the bone was human or animal.
The owner of the property is not a suspect, cops said.
The search came as Garrido's loved ones began speaking out about the accused kidnapper, saying they believe Garrido is a cold-blooded killer and "monster" capable not only of abducting Durgan -- but of murdering other women.
Manuel Garrido said he believes his son, Phillip, who stands accused of abducting Jaycee Dugard and fathering her two children, is involved in the slayings of other women, according the New York Post.
"He was a sex addict, that was his problem," his father told The Post. "I believe my son killed the prostitutes."
Garrido's first wife, Christine Murphy, told "Inside Edition" in an interview set to air Monday night that Phillip was a "monster" who "smacked" her around during their marriage -- and that he once tried to gouge her eyes out when Garrido attacked her in a jealous rage.
"He took a safety pin and went after my eyes," the New York Daily News reported Murphy said as she sobbed on the show. "He left a scar on my face."
"I was always looking for a way to find out how to get away," she said. "He always told me he'd find me wherever."
Murphy said the Dugard case made her feel "sick to my stomach."
"He's capable of anything," she said of Garrido.
Garrido was previously convicted for kidnapping and raping Katie Callaway in 1976 after he asked Hall for a ride home from a supermarket in California, then bound and handcuffed her and took her to a warehouse. He served 10 years in prison of the 50-year sentence for the crime.
"With all the joy I should feel, I want to scream from the depths of my soul," Hall said on CNN's "Larry King Live."
"Scream because my fears turned out to be justified -- he struck again," she said.
Phillip's victim, Dugard, now 29, was reunited with her mother, sister and another relative last Thursday. She is said to be in good health, but feeling guilty about developing a bond with Garrido, said her stepfather Carl Probyn. Her two children, Starlet and Angel, remain with her. The girls are aged 15 and 11.
"Jaycee has strong feelings with this guy. She really feels it's almost like a marriage," said Probyn, who was there when little Jaycee was snatched from a bus stop in 1991 and has been in contact with her mother since they found out the girl was alive.
"Hi, mom, I have babies," was Dugard's first words to her mother when they were reunited Thursday, Probyn said.
A team of psychiatrists have been with the family to help ease the transition -- which may be most difficult for Dugard's children, who just discovered that their father kidnapped their mother and held her against her will for nearly two decades.
"There's going to be a period of adjustment, no doubt, but they're doing very well at this point," FBI Special Agent Chris Campion said in an FBI podcast. "The two daughters are probably as happy as Jaycee is to be a part of this family."
The couple pleaded not guilty last Friday to 29 counts, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment.
There were several close calls for rescue in the past. In 2006, neighbor Damon Robinson's then-girlfriend called police after she saw tents and children in the backyard. The responding officer failed to discover the encampment where authorities say Dugard was kept captive.
Police in Pittsburg are investigating whether Phillip Garrido, whose home is in nearby Antioch, is linked to several unsolved murders of prostitutes in the early 1990s. Antioch police are also looking into unsolved cases but declined further details.Garrido seemed incoherent and mentally unstable, and the girls wore drab-colored dresses, were unusually subdued and had an unnaturally pale complexion, said Lisa Campbell, a special-events unit manager with UC Berkeley's police department.

On May 20, Microsoft officials announced the latest entry in the family of Surface devices, the Surface Pro 3. This device is a larger form with many updates to the existing pro device, the Surface Pro 2, and comes only eight months since the launch of the Surface Pro 2. So now, Microsoft has launched three generations of Surface in the span of less than two years, being incredible for a company which only recently pivoted to devices and services from software.
The launch of Surface Pro 3 however raised several questions: why isn't there a Surface 3 (the ARM-based version) to complement the Surface Pro 3? Why also, didn't the much-rumored Surface Mini launch alongside the Surface Pro 3? What is the goal of these Surface devices, according to Microsoft?
Where is Windows RT?
The first two questions have a common thread, and that is Windows RT. The ARM-based version of Windows has had very little success both from OEM adoption as well as sales perspectives. OEMs have slowly been pulling out of making such devices, and with Nokia's devices group now a part of Microsoft, Microsoft is the only company that makes Windows RT devices. The operating systems group at Microsoft is undergoing some level of consolidation and transformation, and there is a possibility of some fundamental changes coming to the Windows RT OS as it merges with Windows Phone OS. It would be somewhat silly to offer a Windows RT device that may need some major updates in a few months when the operating system makes potentially big underlying changes. Also, let's not forget that Nokia also makes a Windows RT device (Lumia 2520) which may now become a contender to be the only Windows RT device Microsoft produces. Hence, the lack of ARM-based Surface at this point in time.
No room for Surface Mini
Surface Mini on the other hand, has a bigger issue. The rumors were that it would be an 8" device and regardless of whether it was going to be an Intel-based device or an ARM-based device, it would really offer no differentiation from the several other 8" Windows devices in the market today. All of the existing devices are Intel-based and as a result, are able to run old Windows desktop programs just fine. Most of these existing devices are also priced at the very low end and as a result, Microsoft would have to start competing on the low end which I am not sure they want to do. There are also rumors that Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and the new devices chief Stephen Elop decided to remove that device from the announcement for precisely that reason – it offered no differentiation from whatever else is out there in the market. If that is in fact the case, I commend them for doing so since it is not easy to change directions this way and at the last moment.
Who is the Surface for? What does Surface mean for Microsoft?
That brings us to the last question – what is the role of Surface devices? Microsoft executives have constantly said that Surface is not meant to compete with the OEMs but instead be a reference design for OEMs. However, the huge write-off Microsoft took at the end of the past fiscal year related to excess inventory of the original Surface shows that at least someone at Microsoft expected to sell these devices in larger volumes.
The Surface Pro 3 is indeed unlike anything else in the market today, both from a Windows devices perspective as well as the competition's devices. There are Android tablets of all shapes and sizes that are selling quite well, but they are limited to a maximum of 10" form factor, and while there have been rumors of an "iPad Pro" sporting a larger display than the current iPad, those have been simply rumors. At the launch event, Microsoft made the point that the Surface Pro 3 is aimed squarely at the laptop user (there were a *lot* of MacBook Air comparisons) rather than the tablet user. The viewpoint they provided was that most of the iPad customers also have or buy a laptop, so why not make a device that can do both the tasks well? The Surface Pro 3 specifications are obviously more "computer"-like than "tablet"-like, starting with the processor which is not an Atom variant but in fact, it is a Core processor. At the same time, it is so much lighter than a laptop – even MacBook Air that they compared to at the event – that you could see yourself using it as a tablet every so often.
The Surface Pro 3 pricing is in line with a mid- to high-end laptop, depending on the configuration you choose. You could get the entry-level model with a Core i3 processor and 64GB storage for $799 and the highest-end model with a Core i7 processor and 512GB storage for $1,949. Both the ends of that spectrum are higher than the average for a Windows laptop with similar specifications.
Another example to understand where Microsoft is going with this family of devices is the included (and completely re-done) pen. There is a deep integration built into the pen which enables the customer to launch OneNote even when the screen is locked. The OneNote emphasis shows not just the integration aspects but also the intended, or expected, use of the device.
The screen at an excellent 2160×1440 resolution, the aspect ratio which is a much better 3:2 than 16:9, the higher power processor and the pricing all point to a realization at Microsoft that it is better to compete with the laptop than with the iPad. Think creative professionals like artists, medical professionals, or the "information worker" in corporations. Think students on a budget, who have the funds to buy only one device which needs to be their television, book reader as well as productivity tool. These are the customers Microsoft seems to be aiming at with their Surface Pro devices now.
So Microsoft is clearly going for the laptop user and giving that user the choice of using that device as a tablet. They know that the OEMs are able to compete at the low-end, especially with the recent announcement of making Windows free for 9" and lower screens. Knowing that Apple has consistently outsold Windows in the PC sales for the past several years, it makes sense for Microsoft to address the high margin area so they don't have to sell extremely large volumes in order to justify the business.
I still expect Microsoft to release the mini tablet, and there are multiple possibilities there too: a productivity mini tablet which would have the upcoming touch version of Office (codename Gemini); a larger phablet-style device like the Lumia 1520 and of course, a gaming-oriented mini tablet with some type of Xbox brand and tie-in. All of those have dependencies that need to be addressed before these products can come to market in order to differentiate themselves from the competition.
There is an empirical truth to Microsoft products: by version 3, they perfect the product. Surface Pro 3 surely looks like a "perfect" product, we will see if the market agrees with Microsoft or not. The Surface business has steadily grown in volume and with Windows 8.1, Microsoft may have enough to get CIOs interested in upgrading to Windows 8.1. If so, there is a large-sized market opportunity that is for Microsoft to dominate, given their past relationships and reputation in the enterprise. If that happens, it may create the virtuous cycle that Microsoft has been able to create in the past with Windows and even now with Office. Many will use these devices in school and workplace and would like to continue that experience at home.
Microsoft certainly seems to demonstrate that it is in the devices market for the long run. Naturally, mastering manufacturing cannot happen overnight. It is now up to the customers to decide if all of that is worth it, by speaking with their wallets.
Are you interested in the Surface Pro 3? Were you disappointed by the absence of the Surface Mini? Sound off in the comments below.

Sorry, we're closed.
Due to the Covid-19 virus, all screenings are cancelled for the rest of the semester. Stay safe, everyone, and we'll see you in the Fall!
The Sonoma Film Institute (SFI), located on the Sonoma State University campus, is the oldest film repertory organization in the North Bay Area. Since 1973, SFI has unspooled enough celluloid to reach the next galaxy. Each year, between August and April, SFI presents over 30 films. These screenings - ranging from silent cinema to the avant-garde, from contemporary American fare to films from the Third World - expand the educational opportunities to students, as well as providing cultural benefit to the campus and surrounding community.
SFI has a long history of offering the best of contemporary cinema to local audiences. During the 1970's, the works of New Wave German directors Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, and Wim Wenders were presented in their first Northern California screenings. American independent filmmaker John Sayles, Mike Leigh and Jane Campion were first discovered here by local audiences in the 1980's.
SFI has hosted personal appearances by such Hollywood legends as Nicholas Ray (REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE and JOHNNY GUITAR), and King Vidor (THE FOUNTAINHEAD and DUEL IN THE SUN) as well as veteran British film director Michael Powell (THE RED SHOES and I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING) and Academy Award winning film editor Thelma Schoonmaker (RAGING BULL). SFI has also sponsored lectures by independent artists Les Blank, Ernie Gehr, Nancy Kelly and Kenji Yamamoto. A mainstay of SFI's programming continues to be classic American and international cinema - ranging from the 1924 anti-war masterpiece THE BIG PARADE, to Vincente Minnelli's glorious color musicals and melodramas of the 1950's - with stops in-between at Jean Renoir, Satyajit Ray and Kenji Mizoguchi.
Under the School of Arts and Humanities, SFI's programming is tightly coordinated with Sonoma State University classes. In addition, films screened by SFI are commonly utilized by SSU instructors as required or recommended sources for their students

MILTON — Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) has announced that 130 acres in Milton are newly protected by a conservation easement, thanks to the efforts of MMRG, its partners, and the Milton landowners.
The land was protected through the federal Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), a program of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), which provided funds to purchase the easement and to do future wetlands restoration work on the property. MMRG met with the landowners over a number of years, introduced them to the WRP program, and helped them enroll in the program. The project ranked highly for NRCS funding due to the quality of its wetland resources and restoration potential, and was funded.
The easement, completed this summer and owned by NRCS, guarantees that the land will never be developed. The landowners continue to own and use their 130-acre property as they wish. Because MMRG honors its close and confidential relationship with landowners, who in this case asked that publicity be kept to a minimum, the organization will not be disclosing the exact location of the property.
Says MMRG Director of Land Conservation Keith Fletcher, "Protection of this parcel adds substantially to the conservation lands in Milton. It protects and restores important water resources and functions. It also meets the landowners' goal to keep the land the way it is, in perpetuity. MMRG is grateful to the landowners for following through with their vision of preserving their beautiful land for future generations, and to our partners at NRCS for their hard work to bring the project to fruition."
This project helps protect water quality within the Salmon Falls watershed, a region whose waters are deemed by the U.S. Forest Service to be at very high risk for degradation due to conversion from forest land to other uses. The 130 acres are in natural forest and vegetative cover, which provide natural water filtration and flood control and help cleanse the waters draining into the Salmon Falls River. It is critical to preserve the clean water of the Salmon Falls because it is used as a drinking water source by numerous homes and municipalities in both New Hampshire and Maine.
Moose Mountains Regional Greenways works to create conservation land in the Moose Mountains Region, including the towns of Wolfeboro, Brookfield, Wakefield, Middleton, Milton, New Durham and Farmington. This grassroots, membership-driven organization represents a dynamic collaboration between community leaders, private landowners, concerned citizens, and public and private conservation organizations. For more information on Moose Mountains Regional Greenways, see www.mmrg.info. To learn more about conservation options for your property, contact Keith Fletcher at (603) 817-8260 or email email@example.com.

Gown up! Fight cooties...er, MRSA
I remember in elementary school, kids would touch each other to spread cooties. However, if you crossed your fingers, you were immune. Once I was tapped with cooties, and I immediately touched a girl and said, "You've got cooties!" She smiled confidently, marked herself with an imaginary "X," and said, "I'm cootie-proof." Hmm... Do cooties even exist?
A nurse at UVA wrote to me about her concern that some family members who visit the hospital get upset if the patient is under contact isolation. "What? I have to wear a mask, gloves, and a yellow gown?" Zsa Zsa Gabor probably would complain, "I'm wearing Chanel. Don't make me cover up, darling."
Hospitals can be a scary place for people, and emotions can run high. Being requested to gown-up to look like an extra from Dustin Hoffman's Outbreak can make people feel like they're in the Rocky Horror Picture Show mansion instead of the hospital.
Why are some patients put under contact isolation? MRSA, VRE, and C. diff. Was ist das?
MRSA is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus– staph bacteria that doesn't respond to penicillin products. Believe it or not, MRSA was first identified in the early '60s before Julie Andrews won an Oscar for Mary Poppins, and you know Mary Poppins was too spit-spot to ever deal with MRSA.
Thirty to fifty percent of hospital patients are contaminated with MRSA. The other half cross their fingers, hoping not to catch cooties. MRSA is usually transmitted patient to patient by– well, healthcare workers. MRSA is found on pens, tables, walls, and even ceilings. (MRSA is hanging on the chandeliers!)
That's why I always clean my stethoscope after using it on a patient– the same way my mother always wiped off the chair with a napkin in a restaurant.
At risk for MRSA are patients with a prolonged hospital stay, who have had antibiotics, have a surgical site infection, or are in an intensive care unit. Those infected with MRSA tend to have longer stays in the hospital because treatment can be tricky.
Family members and roommates of those with MRSA are often contaminated. MRSA loves to live in the nose and can cause resistant sinus and ear infections. MRSA-caused skin infections and abscesses can be very difficult to treat. MRSA that lands on a heart valve or a prosthetic joint can lead to surgery.
MRSA can go away in time, but 40 months is the median time. In the community, there's another version of MRSA– but how does one prevent spread of that, unless you become The Boy in the Bubble?
VRE is vancomycin-resistant enterococcus. Enterococcus naturally lives happily in the bowels. However, because of increasing antibiotic resistance, it's now becoming resistant to our last-line antibiotic, vancomycin (which also is used to treat MRSA). VRE tends to occur in the hospital. (I hope you don't hate the hospital after this article. While it isn't exactly Oz, it isn't Alcatraz either.) Usually if a person with VRE eats yogurt and takes probiotics, the VRE goes away in a few months.
C. diff is a bacteria also found in many colons. If all the good bacteria in the gut is wiped out by antibiotics and not C. diff, then C. diff causes pseudomembraneous colitis– i.e. you have severe diarrhea and poop out material that looks like tissue paper. Yes, tissue paper. I'm telling you, the colon is like Wyoming: a wilderness.
So if you're asked to gown up and put on gloves and a mask due to contact isolation, do it not only for yourself but for others. You can cross your fingers for good luck and to keep from catching cooties, but realize doing only that puts you at risk of going up you-know-what creek.

Surviving Grady:
When the only thing between you and the post-season is the Baltimore Friggin' Orioles and you can't get it done, you just don't want it bad enough. When Tommy Hunter and a bunch of no-name relievers shut you down, it's time to go looking for your nuts. When you're one of the aces of the staff and a team with no .300 hitters and a collective average of .255 puts up six on you, all the bad-ass looks and F-bombs don't mean a thing. And when you're coaching for the playoffs with three games to go, you can't nap in the middle innings while your starter is running out of gas, you yank him at the first sign of trouble.A Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory:
The entire wild card lead has been blown. It was a lead that didn't even matter when it was so big, because we were supposed to win the division, with the WC an automatic boobie prize. Now it's wild card or nothing, two games left, tied.Over The Monster:
There was more magic in the air in Baltimore tonight. "Other team" magic. ... Now we must continue to sweat.
We're in coin flip territory now, and it's difficult to watch knowing every mistake might be the one that effectively ends the season ...Toeing The Rubber:
The last thing I read last night that was Red Sox-related came from a friend on Facebook who was writing about what a terrible team this is and how awful they are that he can't believe he's still following them. Talk like that annoys me. ... The collective "What have you done for me lately" mindset of many of the fans (and the sports media growing a collection erection over being able to write about how horrible the team is) makes me madder than the current state of the team. ...
Just like there was no reason to believe the Red Sox would go into such a tremendous nosedive throughout September, there's no reason to think they can't pull off a few more wins. Sure it will be difficult. ... But giving up is easy. Turning straight to "poor us for having to endure this team" mode is predictable and feeding right into the hands of the sports media. ...
Why mope around expecting the worst when being excited at the prospect of the best happening is so much more fun? Why CHOOSE, why purposely choose to be miserable when there is still a glimmer of hope?
That glimmer might be faint and extremely difficult for some people to see, but it's there. And as long as it is, I'll be in front of the television at 7 o'clock tonight ... Don't miss out just because the world is telling you not to bother.

Corn prices will fluctuate slightly above $4/bu. through 2020, and corn acres will decline, a new report says. Strong livestock profits will generate growth in cattle and hog sectors, though prices will moderate from current highs.
Row Crop Price Outlook
For corn and soybeans, large U.S. and global supplies will push prices to their lowest levels since 2009, though modest recovery is likely after 2015, according to projections this month from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri.
Estimates call for farm corn prices of $3.89/bu. for the 2014/15 crop based on Aug. 15 conditions, more optimistic than some forecasts and higher than new-crop bids in many locales. FAPRI sees a slight recovery moving forward, with prices of $4.09/bu. for the 2015/16 marketing year and a gradual rise to $4.25 by 2019/20.
Meanwhile, soybean prices of $10.30/bu. are projected for this year's crop. The figure will dip to $9.64 for 2015/16. From 2016 to 2019, FAPRI calls for soybean prices between $10.11 and $10.69/bu.
Wheat prices are expected to be $6.27, which is 60 cents per bushel lower than in 2013. They will decline to $5.73/bu. in 2015/16 and fluctuate between $5.72 and $5.97 through 2019/20.
Livestock Price Outlook
For cattle producers, steer prices (total all grades) are forecast to be a record $150.42/cwt. for 2014, up $25 from last year. FAPRI forecasts a gradual price decline as supplies rebuild, from $147.45/cwt. in 2015 to $124.69 by 2019.
Pork barrow and gilt prices are forecast to be $75.96/cwt. this year. That's a strong recovery over the previous two years. Prices are forecast to fall to $66.93/cwt. in 2015, easing to a range of $55.37 to $59.17/cwt. for the rest of the forecast period.
"Reduced cattle numbers, animal disease problems and strong international demand are causing record cattle, hog and milk prices in 2014," the report says. "Supply response to these high prices and lower feed costs contribute to lower meat and dairy prices in 2015."
U.S. per capita meat consumption is forecast to rise from 198.6 million pounds this year to 208.6 million pounds in 2019.
Corn Acres to Drop
Planted corn acres are projected to drop 2 million acres in 2015 to 89.6 million. Acres will increase slightly, to the 91.8 million to 92.3 million acre range, throughout the rest of the forecast period.
Soybean acreage will decline in 2015 by fewer than 1 million acres, to 83.9 million acres. They are expected to dip further over the rest of the period, down to between 81.1 million and 82.2 million acres.
Wheat acreage will change little, from 56.5 million acres this year to 54.7 million acres by the end of the period.
Cotton acreage is forecast to decline from 11.19 million acres this year to 10.32 million in 2015, changing minimally through 2019.
Row Crop Returns Outlook
Despite the bearish price outlook, corn returns per acre will beat returns for soybeans, wheat and cotton. Corn returns over variable costs will be $288.30/acre this year and will range from $304.14 to $344.54 for the rest of the period, FAPRI says.
Soybean returns over variable costs will be slightly lower at $282.38/acre this year and between $239.31 and $296.32 over the next five years. Because of this, the soybean/corn price ratio is set to decline from 2.65 this year to 2.36 in 2015 before increasing slightly.
As for wheat, returns over variable costs will be $144.72/acre this year before ranging between $133.62 and $146.35 through 2019/20.
Row Crop Demand and Exports Outlook
From this year to 2019/20, FAPRI sees modest increases in corn demand, from 13.6 billion to 14.3 billion bushels. Ethanol and feed demand remain relatively flat, and exports will post modest increases from 1.8 billion to 2.2 billion bushels.
Soybean exports are expected to change little over the forecast period, from 1.7 billion bushels this year to 1.8 billion bushels by 2019/20.
Wheat exports also are forecast to increase slightly, from 938 million bushels this year to 1.07 billion bushels by 2019/20.

Carbine, Shotgun, & Pistol Training Courses - Brainerd Area
by Dave-HuldraArms on Wed May 15, 2013 12:06 am
Hi Everyone,
We are excited to have a great offering of training this year with multi-day courses in carbine, shotgun and pistol. We are also bringing back some training friends, top tier national trainers Louis Awerbuck ad Jeff Gonzales.
Here is our primary class training announcements for 2013, all classes are in the Brainerd Area. For more information please visit our webpage, linked below.
Tactical Shotgun 1 with Louis Awerbuck, August 3-4 $540
Louie is back and is bringing some shotgun skills with him. For those that have trained with Louie before you know what a great experience it is. As with the Stage I Handgun, this course is designed to create reflexive gunhandling, competent marksmanship and tactical thinking. In addition it places strong emphasis on learning what the shotgun will, and most particularly WILL NOT, do. The importance of patterning the shotgun properly is discussed at length. The course also covers ammunition selection, loading and unloading, reloading and ammunition selection while involved in a shooting scenario, shooting from several ready positions and various tactical body positions, dim-light and flashlight shooting (dependent on time of sundown and range restrictions), shooting on the move, moving targets, multiple targets and weapon retention.
Combative Pistol 2 with Jeff Gonzales, August 23-25, $625, plus local range fee
Jeff of Trident Concepts is also back to train with us this year, except this time we are offering a handgun course with Jeff.
The Combative Pistol, Level Two (CP2) is an intermediate 3-day course focused on hammering out the rough edges to the modern gunfighter. It will instruct the pistol's core fighting skills by using full range sessions and high repetitions to continue forging correct technique. The course will progress to more challenging drills that will increase the student's shooting speed and combat marksmanship. Graded evolutions throughout the course provide instant feedback to the student on skill development, technique deficiencies and overall ability. The linear progressive training exercises refines the combative fundamentals in order to progress to more advanced courses.
For more information, and to register, please don't hesitate to contact us or visit our webpage. Fast links to the above courses is available on the main page on the announcement tab on the right.
As many of you know, Mills Indoor Shooting & Archery is open and a phenomenal firearms range and retail shop. More training opportunities through the range, smaller one day classes, will be announced soon.
Thanks everyone and we look forward to training with you!
Dave & Mike

Read Every Self Help Book Ever Published in 5 Minutes
Source: ChopCow.com
Roughly 90% of Self Help books contain the same advice repeated over and over. Don't believe me? Stop by your local bookstore sometime and read the Table of Contents of a dozen or so Self Help books.
The advice may be worded differently or geared toward a specific target audience (eg. men, women, various enthnic and social groups), but the underlying message is pretty much always the same. Here's a list of that advice:
You Create Your Own Life
You are not a victim. You are 100% responsible for the life you have right now. If you are unhappy, you have the power to change your attitude and actions to begin making your life better. Always remember, whether you think life sucks or you think life is great, either way, you're right.
You Make Yourself Feel The Way You Feel
Ever notice how some people are able to brush off insults, while others get furious and start throwing punches? Realize that nobody can "make" you feel anything. You are the one that "chooses" to feel good or bad about a particular event or action that occurs.
Fake It Until You Make It
If you want to be more confident, happy, or positive, then "pretend" that you already are this way. Eventually, after practicing this long enough, you'll realize that you're no longer "pretending".
Follow Your Purpose
A purpose is what you enjoy doing that you never get tired of and you will do for the rest of your life. Is your purpose to write screenplays? Is it to help sick people? Write down on index cards a list of purposes and choose the one that speaks to you the most.
Set Goals and Schedule Your Day
List out 5 to 10 goals that you want for your life. Break each goal up into smaller sub-goals and then break those sub-goals into individual tasks and action steps. Every night, plan the next day in advance. Create a daily "to-do list" with those tasks that you need to do to accomplish your goal.
Live in the Present
Regret and shame come from dwelling in the past. Worrying and anxiety come from living in the future. True peace of mind comes from living in the present. The more you become aware of being in the present, the more it becomes a part of your daily life.
The Power of Attraction
The power of attraction is a powerful mental tool. The process works by focusing on something that you want while visualizing that you already have it. You then have a heightened level of awareness for recognizing opportunities that occur around you. These opportunities will then assist in bringing what you want into your physical reality.
Expand Your Comfort Zone
Your comfort zone (what you feel comfortable doing) is always in a state of either expanding or contracting. The more you get out in the world and do what you feel uncomfortable doing, the less inhibited you become, thereby allowing you to live a richer and fuller life.
Be Thankful For What You Have
Every morning before you start your day, give thanks and appreciation for what you have. It's only when we are thankful for what we have that life gives us more blessings and abundance to be thankful for.
The Power of Asking
Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. It's the reason that children ask their parents for the same thing over and over again, because they know mom and dad will eventually cave in. The same concept works in the real world. If there is something in the world you want, ask for it...or at least ask how to get it.
Learn from the Pros and Copy Them
Find the successful people in your field and ask them for advice. Ask them what they do to be successful, take notes, and then copy them. A lot of people think that the pros don't want to share. The opposite is actually true. Most successful people are more that willing to share their knowledge if you ask them.
Ignore the Trolls
Trolls are people that will try to discourage you from your dreams. Don't listen to them. Realize that the only reason they are doing it is because by seeing you chase after your dreams, it's reminding them that they aren't chasing theirs. Misery loves company.

Somewhere in France
August 12th, 1918
Dear Brother John:
I received your letter some time ago but am sorry to say that I could not of answered sooner. Of course John you realize how hard it is at times for me to write all my folks, relatives, and friends, but somehow I have been fortunate and have been able to write both Madaline and Anna almost everyday. Isn't it wonderful the way the Yankee Boys are treating the Huns. Well it's the good old Yankee blood and spirit. It is needless for me to try and tell you any war news and I know the N.Y. papers furnish you with more news than what we boys get here. John, my ambitions are great and many. Now that I have the experience I think I can show what stuff I am made of. We are at our rest camp now and in a few moments I can see where I am forced to go out and get rations for the evening although its only about fifteen minutes of work.
Guess I will close now John will write soon again with love and kisses to you all, I am.
Corporal Jos. Maus
105. U.S. Inf Co A

PS: Did you receive my photo and long letter in which I told you everything since I left the states.

How to Disrupt an Industry in Three Steps
Grow Your Business, Not Your Inbox
It's one thing to invent something cool. It's another matter entirely to turn inventions into real products people can use to make their lives easier or better.
Everyone tries to be different, but it's a far greater challenge to make a differentiated product that customers value head and shoulders above the competition.
By that logic, changing the world sounds downright impossible. And yet, we hear people talk about it all the time. Everyone seems to be out to change the world these days. Sounds like a pretty big disconnect, doesn't it?
Yes and no. Making a dent in the universe is no walk in the park, but it's not impossible either. It happens. Real people make it happen. And I can certainly shed some light on how the thought process generally works.
So how does a company come along and, seemingly out of the blue, come up with a way of doing something so much better than before that it captures a huge chunk of market share and disrupts a big industry that's been around forever?
Take Uber, for example. In its last round of funding, the five-year-old transportation network company raised $1.2 billion on a valuation of $17 billion – nearly the equivalent of Hertz and Avis combined. How did its founders do that? What's the real difference between Uber and a taxi or limousine service?
Related: Never Turn Down a Paying Customer
To a user, it seems so easy. It's just an app. You tell it where you are and where you're going, pick an option, and, voila, a car shows up.
But that seamless and reliable user experience required a complete top-down reimagining of how people get from one place to another when they don't have a vehicle. Not to mention the software development, logistics deployment, and rapid recruiting and operations ramp-up in dozens of cities around the world.
Sure, it's groundbreaking, but in a "why didn't I think of that, it's so obvious" or "how did we ever live without it" sort of way that's reminiscent of FedEx, Tivo or the iPod. A lot has to happen behind the scenes, but the end result always seems simple and easy.
That's just how it is with groundbreaking products. They may be rare events, but when you look at companies as diverse as Uber, GrubHub, WhatsApp, Alibaba, and Apple, they disrupted their respective industries in more or less the same way.
It always starts with a problem. Why isn't there a simple way to get someone to take me from point A to point B? There's no one-stop website for ordering takeout and delivery food. How do we connect a billion Chinese people to the products they want to buy without brick-and-mortar infrastructure? Why isn't there a multipurpose handheld computer?
Related: How to Know When to Change Direction
Some problems seem immensely complicated while others appear to be downright impossible. Funny thing is, the key is always asking the right question or defining the problem in just the right way – usually a way that nobody's ever thought of it before. In nearly every case, that's the way a disruptive product begins. With a problem.
Next, of course, is a solution. That means figuring out what it will take to solve the problem and putting a team together that can capably handle all the pieces of the puzzle. Of course, if you want to disrupt a market and change how people do things, the solution has to be ten times better, easier, cheaper, whatever, than anything else out there.
While that may sound overly simple – in some cases, it is – it's not always complicated, either. Look at GrubHub. It's a creative solution but, you've got to admit, it isn't rocket science. Neither is WhatsApp, for that matter. And yet, the 55-person messaging company got half a billion users and $19 billion from Facebook. That's pretty disruptive, if you ask me.
Once you have the problem and solution defined, the only thing left is to start doing it. Whether that's getting to work on an app, designing a website, developing a logistics or ecommerce platform, envisioning a new kind of consumer electronics device, raising some seed funding, or all of the above in concert, it always starts the same way: with a first step.
If the enormity of the task freaks you out, congratulations, you're human. Just get your team together, come up with a plan, and set the wheels in motion.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying any of this is easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it and we'd be disrupting markets every day. And while the rate of change in our modern high-tech world is rapid, it's not that rapid.
But if you really want to change the world, now you know what it takes. If you can face that and still be inspired and motivated to take the first step, then go for it. You'll never know how things would have turned out unless you do.

British grocery chain Sainsbury's has entered the ebook market by snapping up HMV's stake in Anobii for a nominal £1.
The retailing group said that slurping HMV Group's share and investing in the business would mean it ends up with a 64 per cent stake in Anobii, which is styled as a social network for book readers as well as an etailer.
The site, whose other investors are publishers Penguin, Random House and HarperCollins, currently has 600,000 users and around 60,000 ebooks in its library.
Sainsbury's said that snapping up the stake was a further step in its "drive into the growing online and digital entertainment market". The group launched Sainsbury's Entertainment in late 2010, bought online entertainment firm Global Media Vault late last year and this year launched its music download service.
"This acquisition is a valuable addition to our digital portfolio and shows our commitment to becoming a key player in the digital entertainment market," Mark Bennett, head of digital entertainment at Sainsbury's, said in a canned statement. "It further demonstrates how we are constantly looking to innovate and seize opportunities that will support the future growth of our business."
Sainsbury's bought the holding in Anobii for just £1 as HMV Group tries to go back to its roots as a retail business. HMV sold the Hammersmith Apollo at the end of last month for £32m as part of its restructuring to focus on its core business of selling music and films in bricks-and-mortar stores. The group reckons it can turn itself around enough to return to profit next year, despite big losses in the last financial year. ®

Jamie's Best New York Bites of 2013
You've already seen Max's and Kenji's best bites of 2013—now here are mine, from rabbit and beef tartare to noodles and challah.
- Rabbit Three Ways at Glasserie
- Beef Tartare at Estela
- Lamb and Green Squash Dumplings at Tianjin Dumpling House
- Shrimp, Pork, and Watercress Wontons at Noodle Village
- Dan Dan Noodles at Han Dynasty
- Fried Lagman at Chayhana Salom
- Khachapuri Adjaruli at Oda House
- Sake Kasu Challah with Raisin Butter at Shalom Japan
Not Photographed But Still Delicious
Vietnamese-style Boudin at Nightingale 9: I must give credit to the master, John T. Edge, for alerting me to the presence of this dish on HIS Garden & Gun "best bites of 2013" roundup. And he's right. Chef Rob Newton ties his Southern roots to the flavors of Southeast Asia beautifully in this dish, a thick sausage stuffed, as is traditional, with rice and pork, but also ground shrimp, too, and fish sauce and cilantro. The finished product is surprisingly light and brightly flavored, served smartly with a heap of fresh herbs meant to be eaten, not admired. It's a ballsy cross-cultural experiment done right.
Tuna Milanese at Perla: We've swooned plenty over Michael Toscano's pastas, and holy mother of god, are they good. Definitely get pasta at Perla. But I had a fleeting special there this year that lingers, too, though it seems to be lost and gone from the menu at the moment: tuna Milanese. Instead of chicken or veal, the kitchen pounds a gorgeous ruby-red raw tuna steak thin enough to cover the entire dinner plate, then sears one side of it for a hot second, topping the raw half with a coat of breadcrumbs, fried artichokes, and plenty of lemon. It's an unexpected and wholly delightful update of a red-sauce classic, and proof that Toscano can handle protein just as skillfully as pasta.

How many times am I actually going to have to say this before it truly sinks in?
Have I not done this to myself enough times to actually learn to NOT SAY IT from here on out?!?
I just said yesterday something to the effect of, "being over the hump" with my wisdom teeth. That was at about 3 p.m. or so. About 12 hours later, I woke up in horrific pain.
Great. Here we go.
So, I called the Dr. this morning, and they said:
"Hmmmmm. You should be feeling much better now, not worse. You'd better come in right away."
Do they not know that this is easier said than done?
But, I loaded up my crew and we headed to the oral surgeon. Yes, all four of us.
We got there, and the nurse says to me, "Oh! You have your children with you!" I mean, she wasn't snotty about it or anything, but 'pleased to see them' wasn't exactly the expression I was reading either.
"What was I supposed to do? Leave them at home while I jaunted off to the office for a few minutes?" I thought.
I digress.
Anyway, we walk into the office. There was the 'patient chair', and then one other 'visitor' chair. Colin and Cameron had been
threatened with their lives that they better behave in this office talked to before we left (and on the way....and when we got there....and just before going in) about obeying mommy and being on their best behaviors while we were in this tiny room, so they knew what was going on. They both walk quietly over to the chair; Colin got up in the chair; he then proceeded to help Cameron up in the chair; then Colin got back down; opened the diaper bag to reveal the books we had chosen to bring along; leafed through each one; picked one; handed it to Cameron; then picked one more for himself, and climbed back into the chair.
Ah, my sweet angels. *giggle*
I sat Ethan down on my lap with me in the 'patient chair' (where he stayed for the entire appointment, believe it or not) and it was serenely quite for several moments. The boys were reading, and Ethan was looking all around the office and occasionally babbling at me. I then heard something, and turned around to see 3 nurses, who had apparently watched this whole interchange with my boys, looking through the door and into the room.
"Boy, you've got your hands full!" (That's for you, MckMama) "They are all just sooooooo good!" (Oh, yes.....they're just lovely like this all the time.....) "Hi, baby! (to Ethan) What's your name?" (Um....he's one--he doesn't talk....)
Etc., etc. like this for a couple more minutes.
Then, one of the nurses asks Colin his name, to which he responds: "Spidey-Man. And this (pointing to Cameron) is Buzz-Lightyear."
They all laugh, of course. Ha ha ha. All of them laughing, except for me. I was the one grimacing in excruciating pain in the 'patient chair'.
So, the doctor comes in and it is quickly determined that I have a condition called dry socket. He gets to work on his little table mixing up some sort of foul-smelling concoction (while I am thinking--He's not going to put that nasty smelling stuff in my mouth, is he?)
The little chair that the boys were in by this time had become uncomfortable for them--too small for two bottoms--so Colin had (with my permission) moved to the floor. All three boys were still amazingly quiet.
The doctor then turns toward me; steps on Colin; almost trips; recovers; then apologizes to Colin, who says, "Sure--it's okay!" with a smile on his face. Whew. Disaster averted. The doctor composes himself, then proceeds to reassure me that this disgusting, awful-tasting gauze he is shoving into the gigantic holes-where-my-teeth-used-to-be will be my cure all.
Ethan just sits there....watching in amazement. Not a peep out of him that whole time.
I traded one horrible taste for another, but the pain has slowly been subsiding over the afternoon.
The boys, who were for all intensive purposes, complete and total ANGELS in the doctor's office, were treated to Popsicles when they got home; Mommy was treated to a Vicodin; and all was much better in the Merritt world.
(And I am not even going to say that now, I think I actually MAY be over the hump.)

Adams, UCLA beat Manning's Golden Hurricane 76-59
SAN DIEGO (AP) — This is what UCLA is supposed to do in the NCAA tournament.
Jordan Adams had 21 points and eight rebounds, and Norman Powell scored 15 in his hometown to lead the fourth-seeded Bruins to a 76-59 victory over 13th-seeded Tulsa on Friday night, spoiling the NCAA tournament head coaching debut of Danny Manning.
UCLA (27-8) advanced to Sunday's third round in the South Region against 12th-seeded Stephen F. Austin, which upset No. 5 VCU 77-75 in overtime.
In his first year in Westwood, Steve Alford coached the Bruins to just their third win in the NCAA tournament since 2009. It came in the city where John Wooden won the last of his 10 national championships, in 1975. UCLA has more national titles than any other school (11), and its overall tournament record is 101-38.
Ben Howland was fired last March after the Bruins were routed by 11th-seeded Minnesota in the second round, 83-63. Although Howland led the Bruins to three straight Final Fours from 2006-08, including the championship game in 2006, they were just 2-3 from 2009 through last season.
"I'm really pleased with our team," said Alford, whose Bruins won the Pac-12 tournament a week ago by upsetting Arizona, the top seed in the West. "We played really well and shot the ball at a high level. I like the way these guys are guarding. We've got a lot of guys scoring, a lot of balance. We go to another level when we guard and I thought we did a really good job of guarding tonight."
Bryce Alford, one of Steve's two sons on the team, said getting the first win is the hardest.
"You see a lot of higher seeds go down in the first game just because of the jitters of being in the NCAA tournament and being on national TV," said Bryce Alford, a freshman guard who had seven points. "We came out a little stagnant, but once we picked up our level and got it together, we were good."
Tulsa (21-13) had its 11-game winning streak snapped. Manning led Kansas to the 1988 title and won another championship as a Jayhawks assistant coach six years ago.
D'Andre Wright scored 18 points for Tulsa and James Woodard had 11 points and nine rebounds. The Golden Hurricane shot only 36.8 percent (21 of 57).
"UCLA came out in the first half and they turned us over," Manning said. "I think they had 16 points off of our turnovers and second-chance opportunities. Then in the second half we were able to make a little bit of a run, but they controlled the game with their athleticism and they got out and shot way too high of a percentage for us to have a chance in the second half."
The Golden Hurricane got close twice in the second half, and each time, Adams and Powell — who played at San Diego's Lincoln High — led big UCLA surges.
Adams and Powell combined for UCLA's first 12 points in the second half.
After Wright had a tip-in on the first possession to pull Tulsa to 35-32, Adams hit a 3-pointer and then converted a three-point play, rebounding his own miss and getting fouled by Woodard. Tulsa's Tim Peete had a turnover and Adams fed Powell for a dunk. Powell then made a layup for a 45-32 lead.
Wright made a bank shot to end UCLA's 10-0 run, but Adams answered with a jump hook to make it 47-34.
Tulsa eventually closed to 57-52 before UCLA pulled away again, on a jumper by Bryce Alford, a layup by Parker and a three-point play by Powell for a 64-54 lead with 4:11 left.
In the final minutes, Adams hit a 3-pointer and Powell revved up the crowd with a slam.
UCLA took its biggest lead of the first half, 26-17, on a three-point play by Tony Parker after he was fouled making a bank shot.
Tulsa then went on a 13-4 run capped by two big plays by Woodard, who hit a 3-pointer and on the next possession dribbled down the court for a slam dunk and a 30-all tie with 1:38 left.
Woodard started the run with two free throws and Wright scored Tulsa's next six points, on a dunk and two jumpers.
UCLA regained control when Kyle Anderson converted a three-point play and Adams made two free throws for a 35-30 halftime lead.

Montpellier president Louis Nicollin has admitted he would settle for a cut-price €12 million to allow Younes Belhanda to leave the Ligue 1 club.
Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Leverkusen and Fenerbahce have all been linked to the artful Morocco international, while Nicollin himself claimed in an interview with 10 Sport last week that AC Milan, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray and Aston Villa had made approaches for Belhanda, 23.
Nicollin told RMC on Wednesday he is willing to compromise on his initial asking price for a player who came through the club's youth academy before playing a central role in their surprise Ligue 1 title win a year ago.
"We'd need to get €15 million, but I'd settle for 14 or 12," the millionaire said, revealing he had received offers for the highly-rated midfielder. "From France, no, but from England, Germany and the United Arab Emirates, yes."
Remy Cabella, 23, will most likely be at the Stade de la Mosson next season, however, despite attracting interest from major European clubs himself. The France Under-21 international has been linked to Marseille and Atletico Madrid while Arsenal are also reportedly keeping a close eye on his progress.
Nicollin, however, has frequently stated his desire to keep the Ajaccio-born attacking midfielder for a further season at least, and though he did not entirely rule out Cabella leaving the club this summer, he is - unlike with Belhanda - unwilling to allow his prize asset to go on the cheap.
"I didn't say he was 'un-transferable'. I think that it's in his interest to stay another year or two at Montpellier. If a club wants to give us €40 or €50 million, we'll sell. But that would be stupid."
After a disappointing maiden season in France, Argentine striker Emmanuel Herrera could be moved on - "I don't know yet. These Argentines, they're rubbish the first year and then good after that," Nicollin claimed - while the Montpellier owner was elusive on the subject of Djibril Cisse, 31, coming to the south coast.
"It would be a big gamble," Nicollin said of the Queens Park Rangers forward, whose future could depend on new Montpellier boss Jean Fernandez. "It's the coach who decides, not me. I let the people I pay do what they have to do."

More Web Standards Tests Submitted to the W3C
Internet Explorer 8 represents a leap forward in support for web standards. We believe that IE8 has the first complete implementation of CSS 2.1 in the industry and it is fully compliant with the current CSS 2.1 test suite.
The only way to know if a browser has correctly implemented a specification is to develop a comprehensive set of tests for the specification. Those tests are the best reference for how a browser will behave when you're writing a web page.
Today, the IE Team is submitting 196 new test cases to the CSS 2.1 Working Group for inclusion into the CSS 2.1 test suite. These cases were developed since IE8 RC. This brings Microsoft's contribution to the CSS 2.1 Test Suite to 7201 tests. IE8 passes all of these tests today as well as the rest of the tests in the current official CSS 2.1 test suite. We're working closely with the CSS working group to include the new tests in the official test suite. For now, these tests are available at the Windows Internet Explorer Testing Center.
I encourage other browser vendors to contribute to the W3C's CSS 2.1 test suite so those tests may be used by any browser under the W3C's license. Only then will those tests broadly benefit web developers.
If you have specific feedback on any particular test case, I strongly encourage you to provide it on the W3C's CSS 2.1 Working Group's mailing list. That will ensure the test case reviewers have your comments in context as they add these pages into the suite. I'd like to thank everyone that provided feedback on the previously submitted tests. We made changes to tests based on that feedback.
Thanks for all the great support and feedback. Enjoy IE8!

Christ Is Risen!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
There is no indication that God punishes for correction and healing during earthly life, and that he punishes for the sake of punishment in the life-after-death.
Forgiveness of sins, is probably the "easiest" aspect of salvation, the healing of our corrupted natures is much more difficult.
He did not and does not need a sacrifice to satisfy His bloodthirsty anger, such is a pagan idea of God.
The Cross was NOT necessary for God
But theoretically it is possible that someone chooses to remain with the pigs and eat their food.
You made a double-edged statement. It is true that the sinners and non believers decide to eat the pig's food, before they die, but the consequences are that God allows them to continue living out their choice in hell, after death. It is then a true choice.
It seems that we come from different schools that has long been separated and it needs time till we digest differences, although many are more clear than before.
No liturgical passage is there without reason! The church would not allow a congregation to err so easily, and let its children worship in a "heritical" manner(why are we so quick to use that word, anyway?).
Your theology of the Cross, or at least your attempt to ridicule a "universalist" understanding of it, is of course, precisely that. Ridiculous.
Yes, it seems to be so. It is utterly unacceptable to me that prayers for the dead (those in hades) are to be removed from the Liturgy (and Coptic Liturgy is precisely an Orthodox Liturgy) because ' new insights' conflicts with the traditional one. I cannot, but continue to pray for the dead as the Church calls me to and even further as the Church allows me to (for the extent to which i take this is not necessarily the same as other Eastern Orthodox, on the contrary!).
first, the phrase is liturgical. the sagda liturgy is done after Holy Pentecost Eucharist divine liturgy, which means it is liturgical, so i don't understand why you don't acknowledge that.
Secondly, if a phrase 'creeped' into the above-mentioned prayers and was accepted for x amount of years, should the reasearch regarding that specific passage be done first in order to find out why/how/when it got there? Or should we delete it, maybe find out a reason to put it back? How would that seem to you?
the last thing i'd like to say here is that what Gregorii has brought up here is something you can find in our heritage, in our fathers.
come to think of it - i don;t even know if he actually agrees with all he's said, all i know is that he has been trying to explain where this idea ok apokatastasis comes from.
As for myself, I did not ridicule your comments in any way and do not intend to do so.
It is unacceptable for me as well to change the Faith to include ideas like the one you defended.
It was NOT in the liturgy.
It is unacceptable for me also to misinterpret the Bible and falsely claim such ideas as Salvation after Hell to be part of the Tradition.
Good luck in your prayers. May the Lord save (through your mighty prayers) Arius, Nestorius ........
Thanks for the discussion.
t also shows how far apart OO and others are. There are Questions other than Christology that needs to be addressed like "EO Purgatory" (purged by prayers) and so on.
Dearest to Christ CS,What Bishop Kallistos is saying is that it may very well be that "hell" may not be the final answer. He keeps the way open that St. Gregory of Nyssa proposed in his exegesis of 1 Corinthians 15, 28 that the Body of Christ will continue to grow until ALL are saved,.. No-one, not even the devil, is excluded in St. Gregorios' vision. Hope is useless if it is not also a realistic expectation.Prayer for the dead is an expression of the power of prayer thru the Incarnation, Passion, Resurrection of Christ,.. It is the "praying Pentecost to those deprived of it" so they too may be saved. St. Mark of Ephesus held a sermon at the false re-union Council at Florence where he gave an example how some saints, by their prayer, saved pagans and/or sinners for hell who had not repented before they died. The sermon is quoted extensively in Fr. Seraphim Rose's "The Soul after Death" and it represents EO theology neatly. When we pray for the dead, as we've always done, we expect that our prayers are heard and that they are effective for good of those for whom we pray. I know this is currently a "hot topic" in the Coptic Church, but to us, EO, it is unacceptable that this be changed. Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev says: "Several years ago I came across a short article in a journal of the Coptic Church where it stated that this Church had decided to remove prayers for those held in hell from its service books, since these prayers "contradict Orthodox teaching". Puzzled by this article, I decided to ask a representative of the Coptic Church about the reasons for this move. Recently I had the possibility to do so, and a Coptic Metropolitan replied that the decision was made by his Synod because, according their official doctrine, no prayers can help those in hell. I told the metropolitan that in the liturgical practice of the Russian Orthodox Church and other local Orthodox Churches there are prayers for those held in hell, and that we believe in their saving power. This surprised the Metropolitan, and he promised to study this question in more detail.During this conversation with the Metropolitan I expressed my thoughts on how one could go very far and even lose important doctrinal teachings in the pursuit of correcting liturgical texts. Orthodox liturgical texts are important because of their ability to give exact criteria of theological truth, and one must always confirm theology using liturgical texts as a guideline, and not the other way round. The lex credendi grows out of the lex orandi, and dogmas are considered divinely revealed because they are born in the life of prayer and revealed to the Church through its divine services. Thus, if there are differences in the understanding of a dogma between a certain theological authority and liturgical texts, I would be inclined to give preference to the latter. And if a textbook of dogmatic theology contains views different from those found in liturgical texts, it is the textbook, not the liturgical texts, that need correction."Taken from:"Orthodox Worship as a School of Theology.""On the one hand, it is impossible for one to actively repent in hell; it is impossible to rectify the evil deeds one committed by appropriate good works. However, it may be possible for one to repent through a 'change of heart', a review of one's values. One of the testimonies to this is the rich man of the Gospel we have already mentioned. He realized the gravity of his situation as soon as found himself in hell. Indeed, if in his lifetime he was focused on earthly pursuits and forgot God, once in hell he realized that his only hope for salvation was God[76] . Besides, according to the teaching of the Orthodox Church, the fate of a person after death can be changed through the prayer of the Church. Thus, existence after death has its own dynamics. On the basis of what has been said above, we may say that after death the development of the human person does not cease, for existence after death is not a transfer from a dynamic into a static being, but rather continuation on a new level of that road which a person followed in his lifetime."Taken from: "Christ the Conqueror of Hell"IC XCGrigorii

The MIT graphic identity website provides downloadable stationery templates for letterhead and envelopes. They provide both Microsoft Word and LaTeX templates. But although they provide both black and white and color templates for Word, they only provide the monochrome templates for LaTeX. When writing cover letters for the job market this year, I was not particularly interested in compromising on color and was completely unwilling to compromise on TeX.
As a result, I ended up modifying each of the three templates to include color. In the process, I fixed a few bugs and documented one tricky issue. I've published a git repository with my changes. It includes branches for each version of three of the "old" black and white templates as well as my my three new color templates. I hope others at MIT find it useful. I've tried to keep the changes minimal.
I've emailed the folks at MIT Communication Production Services to see if they want to publish my modified versions. Until then, anyone interested can help themselves to the git repository. LaTeX user that you are, you probably prefer that anyway.
