About Madison
Madison is characterized by a wide selection of housing options, the cultural and academic influences of local universities, and a colorful local history. Located about 26 miles west of Manhattan, its picturesque downtown has over 50 buildings listed on the state and national registers of historic places.
Contributing to Madison's appeal is the fact that it's a livable, friendly and accessible community. Most downtown buildings offer retail space at the street level with residential units above. Many residents walk to shops, houses of worship, schools, parks and public transportation.
Drew University's tree-lined campus borders Madison, while the Madison-Florham Park Campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University, as well as the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station, are adjacent to town. A portion of Fairleigh Dickinson University is located on the former Madison estate of Florence Vanderbilt and Hamilton Twombly.
The Free Public Library of the Borough of Madison is widely regarded as one of the finest small public libraries in New Jersey. Known for its lively cultural offerings, Madison is home to the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, Playwrights Theater of New Jersey and the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts.Back to top
European settlers arrived in present-day Madison during the British Colonial period of the early 1700s. They established the Bottle Hill settlement where Ridgedale Avenue and Kings Road meet. The circa 1730 Luke Miller house at 105 Ridgedale Avenue is said to be the oldest remaining home in town from that time period. By 1739, Madison was called South Hanover, and some of the first town meetings were held on the grounds of the Presbyterian Church between Kings Road and Madison Avenue, where the Presbyterian Cemetery still exists.
In 1834, the name of the village was changed to Madison for James Madison, the fourth United States President. Madison grew by leaps and bounds after the Civil War. The railroad provided good transportation for its farm produce in the 1800s, and also helped to establish the town's flourishing rose-growing industry, which is how Madison came to be known as "The Rose City," a nickname still used today.
The Morris and Essex rail lines became one of the country's first commuter railroads, attracting wealthy families and contributing to the development of "Millionaire's Row," a stretch of opulent mansions spanning from downtown Madison all the way to downtown Morristown.Back to top
Community Life
Since Madison is bordered by the campuses of Drew University, Farleigh Dickenson University and The College of St. Elizabeth, it offers all the advantages of a college town. Its charming downtown is filled with diverse restaurants, entertainment venues and unique shops. The town has over 100 acres of parks and public spaces for a variety of recreational uses.
Madison is home to two of New Jersey's professional live theater companies designated by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as "major arts institutions." The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, located at Drew University, is one of the leading Shakespeare theaters in the nation. Playwrights Theatre has been devoted to the development and presentation of stimulating new American plays for over two decades.
Town-wide festivals celebrate Madison's cultural, historic and ethnic richness. Chances are good that the calendar will contain an event such as a sidewalk sale, book sale, a YMCA bocce tournament, parades to celebrate Memorial Day, the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Walk, an Italian-heritage religious procession up North Street, annual favorites like Community Day at Drew University each September, the Bottle Hill Day street festival in October, or Le Bazar de Noel in early November at St. Vincent's School.
Major retailers are found in the east-end business district, beginning just beyond the downtown historic district at Prospect Street and Greenwood Avenue. These include supermarkets, car dealers, a video chain and café.
Giralda Farms is a planned office development occupying 175 acres of the former Geraldine R. Dodge estate in Madison. The development includes the corporate headquarters of Atlantic Mutual Insurance, Maersk Lines, Quest Diagnostics, Wyeth, and offices of Schering-Plough. Development regulations for the former estate require that 85% of the land be maintained as open space, with almost all vehicle parking underground.Back to top
Madison's public schools include three elementary schools, one middle school and a high school. The three elementary schools are Central Avenue School and Kings Road School, both housing kindergarten through grade six, and Torey J. Sabatini School for pre-kindergarten through grade six. Madison Junior School houses grades seven and eight, and Madison High School is for grades nine to twelve. The high school also serves the students from neighboring Harding Township, including parts of Green Village.
Saint Vincent Martyr School is a Catholic school serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade six. The school received the No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon award for 2005-2006.Back to top
New Jersey Transit's Madison station provides commuter service on the Morristown Line, with trains heading to Hoboken Terminal and to Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. This rehabilitated station is fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
New Jersey Transit bus service is also available along Route 124/Main Street. In addition, Lakeland Bus provides limited commuter bus service between Madison and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City.
Madison is close to a network of highways including Routes 78, 287, 80 and 280, as well as by New Jersey Route 24. Newark Liberty International Airport is about 15 miles from Madison. Nearby Morristown Municipal Airport provides corporate and individual flight services.Back to top
Real Estate
Madison has a wide range of housing opportunities, from garden apartments and starter homes to move-up properties and luxury dwellings. Character-filled neighborhoods often feature parks, playgrounds, sidewalks and tree-lined streets, and the town council has limited the size of new homes built on smaller lots to retain the old-fashioned streetscapes.
Some of the older, more established neighborhoods in Madison showcase an eclectic collection of architectural styles. The town offers picturesque pre-Revolutionary War dwellings, Gilded Era mansions, Arts & Crafts bungalows, post World War II housing and neo-Colonial construction.
Home shoppers in Madison find that there are a variety of different neighborhoods to choose from. South of downtown is the Hill section which contains some of Madison's most expensive homes. To the southwest is the Orchard section, a close-knit enclave of longtime Madison residents, some of whom have expanded their homes with each new generation. The North Street area's larger properties provide a backdrop for attractive multi- and single-family homes.
To the west, the Fairwoods section (bordered by Drew University and Fairleigh Dickinson University) was developed in the Arts & Crafts style in the early 1900s as the town's first planned development. In the 1950s, the Ardsleigh neighborhood of ranch-style homes was created.
The Bottle Hill Historic District is west of the downtown and runs the length of Ridgedale Avenue. It offers some outstanding examples of American architecture ranging from the 1730s to the 1980s. The majority of homes west of this area were built after the 1950s.
There is a selection of condominiums and apartments for those who want to live closer to the center of town, or in one of Madison's planned communities.Back to top
Madison has 100-plus acres of parks, among them are Belleau Woods Park, Belleau Avenue; Central Green Park, Hamilton Street and Greenwood Avenue; Cole Park; Delbarton Park, Delbarton Drive; Dodge Field, Central and Greenwood Avenue; Edwards Field, Kinney Street; Gibbons Pine Park, Gibbons Place; Green Village Road School Field, Kings Road; James Park, Madison and Park Avenue; Memorial Park, Rosedale Avenue; Lucy D.

The Morris County Traction Line runs parallel to the New Jersey Transit train line extending from Danforth Road, near Fairleigh Dickinson, to Morristown. In the 1990s, this abandoned trolley line was converted to a walking, running, rollerblade and biking facility and includes historical interpretative signage along its route.
A variety of bicycle routes connect schools, parks and activity centers, including the Madison Train Station. Bike racks are available at both ends of the station.
Madison has convenient bike trail access to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Two bicycle loop tours are available, as well as a three-mile side trip to Jockey Hollow to see the encampment of log huts used in the winter of 1779-80 by the Continental Army.Back to top
Local Attractions
Museum of Early Trades and Crafts is a landmark in downtown Madison devoted to telling the story of how people in New Jersey lived and worked before the rise of large-scale industrialization in America. A museum rich in architecture, folklore and history, it brings the 18th and 19th centuries to life.
The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey is one of the leading Shakespeare theaters in the nation, and New Jersey's only professional theater company dedicated to Shakespeare's works. The Mainstage is at F.M. Kirby Theatre, 36 Madison Avenue, on the Drew University campus.

Tendulkar = the most overated player EVER!!
Beckham = the most overated footballer EVER!!
Vassell = the biggest disgrace since rikki clarke!!
Either way, you can have your opinion. Check out the SA bowling averages for that series too though - it's on statspider, cricinfo, howstat, or in the dictionary under "mediocrity".
Anyway, that's about enough from me on this topic, time to move on - as I've said, if that series is really what you consider to be our batsman being wrapped around the fingers of opposition bowlers, then I look forward to more finger-wrappin'!
As far as Gilchrist is concerned, it aint poor form when you you struggle and get out in similar fashion every innings, its called being worked out.
Let's take them one by one. NZ have never beaten a full strength Australia. They would get a draw in Adelaide - as we should have done - and lost the rest. In the case of WI and SA we have last season's evidence. 3-0 v WI and 5-0 H and A v SA. Don't think those two have improved in a year. Pakistan away from home have three batsmen - see the summer of 2006 for evidence - and would need their full-strength bowling attack to have a chance. SL have Murali - but his record in Australia is poor. The only team that might have done better than scrape the odd draw is India - with an expericened batting line-up, good spinners and the fact McGrath is a bit below his best (and they always coped well with Warne). There is evidence to back me up. The only team to win a "live" Test in Australia since the Boxing Day Test of 1996? India (Adelaide 2003).
Ian Botham, Freddie Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Brian Laudrup, Gazza and Daniela Hantuchova....a fan of you all FOREVER!!!
Can't wait to see Australia field a crap leg-spinner like Hollland or Hohns again.....
Congratulations to Daniela Hantuchova on her 3rd career title....
Bob Woolmer 1948-2007..farewell to the best coach England never had...
Arise Sir Beefy....
Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb...
As far as your argument is concerned, there was no difference between Hodge going out there and scoring 26 and Hodge going out there and scoring 500*. When you get that situation, you know your agument is flawed.
As as far as his dropping is concerned, he wasn't dropped in favour of Symonds any more than he was dropped in favour of Brett Lee. Symonds was in the team as an allrounder - Hodge was dropped for Damien Martyn in favour of Hayden, Langer, Ponting and Hussey. He was dropped because it was obvious there were flaws in his technique that opposition teams were being to discover and work on - he wasn't dropped because he had a bad series.
Whenever someone does make a match-winning contribution though, you write it off as an anomoly anyway, so it wouldn't matter.Originally Posted by tooextracool
Sreesanth said, "Next ball he was beaten and I said, 'is this the King Charles Lara? Who is this impostor, moving around nervously? I should have kept my mouth shut for the next ball - mind you, it was a length ball - Lara just pulled it over the church beyond the boundary! He is a true legend."
At the end of the day its not like the Australian batting is all that brilliant either.
Harris already looks a class above Petersen, Boje, Adams and everyone other spinner that has played for SA since their return in 92.
Did you actually watch him bowl or did you just read the scorecard? He's better than Petersen, yes, but hell even I'm better than Petersen. I'd still take Boje or Botha over him any day of the week if I had the choice. The pitch suited him perfectly and he was ineffective for the most part.Originally Posted by TEC

Social Circles
Social circles may be labeled by society, those within them, or not at all, but the fact is that people cluster together for a number of reasons in cultures all over the world. These various groups may form around shared beliefs, ideals, interests, or may even be something a person is born into. Social groups come in all different shapes and sizes, and say a lot about the individuals in them as well as society at large.
For this theme, study the many social circles that make up our world. While you may decide to document your own social network, make sure to also consider looking at the many other groups that are around you. Wherever you decide to focus your camera, try capturing what ties that particular social circle together or what distinguishes them from others.

July 14, 2010: Pepsi's Refresh Project, which kicked off around Super Bowl XLIV and plans to provide about $20 million this year to support plans and ideas that would help individuals, groups or communities, has now expanded its role with MLB to 15 teams and player ambassadors, more multi-media marketing and the quest of $200,000 to an idea voted the best by fans and consumers.
A new umbrella spot, "Jocks," shows the 15 MLB ambassadors talking about their ideas. The 15 teams. all of which have marketing deals with Pepsi, are competing against each other for a $200,000 Pepsi Refresh Grant. In other previous sports-related efforts, Pepsi also donated money to the ideas that did not win.
Pepsi has also filmed individual spots with each of the 15 players in which they expand upon their respective ideas. In addition to original MLB ambassadors CC Sabathia (New York Yankees), Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay Rays) and Johnny Damon (Detroit Tigers), the expanded roster includes Torii Hunter (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim), Prince Fielder (Milwaukee Brewers), Justin Upton (Arizona Diamondbacks), Gordon Beckham (Chicago White Sox) and Jeff Francoeur (New York Mets).
"We will do the viral part for about a month, which will allow us to have fans select the winner," said Jeff Dubiel, who has been vp-sports marketing at Pepsi since November 2008. "After we put that idea into motion we will come back around the World Series and talk to the fans about the idea that was selected and funded and what is being done with it in the community."
Now thru Aug. 17 at 11:59 PM EDT, visitors can cast their votes at www.mlb.com/PepsiRefresh or via text by typing the team's name to 76462 (e.g. R-A-Y-S) for the ideas they believe should receive a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project.
Pepsi in May launched the MLB-themed leg of its Refresh Project campaign with a national TV spot (from lead agency TBWA\Chiat\Day, Los Angeles) featuring Sabathia, Longoria and Damon discussing humorous possible projects (organic gardening in the bullpen, a senior prom for senior citizens).
Pepsi unveiled Refresh Project with NFL players Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints), Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) and DeMarcus Ware (Dallas Cowboys). Subsequent sports efforts have include Major League Soccer with ambassadors Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard and Stuart Holden, all of whom were members of the U.S. National soccer team in the World Cup; and Nascar with drivers Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jimmie Johnson.
PepsiCo said it received more than 375 million impressions and garnered more than 300,000 votes for the NFL-themed activation. However, how this and subsequent Refresh Project initiatives are impacting PepsiCo's bottom line may not be known until the company's Q2 2010 financial report is released on July 20, and more likely not until PepsiCo's 2010 annual report is released.
"The Pepsi Refresh Project is proud to provide the stage to showcase these inspiring team ideas from across the league," said Dubiel. "MLB fans are some of the most passionate in sports and we expect them to not only get behind their teams, but also see how easy it is to do good and be inspired to make a difference in their own communities."
In "Jocks," the 15 players each get some time to talk about Refresh Project as they direct fans and consumers to the dedicated Web site for voting. "We're tired of people thinking we're just jocks," says Fielder in the new commercial. "That all we're good at is hitting home runs," continues Michael Cuddyer (Minnesota Twins). "Or throwing 85 MPH fastballs," offers Sabathia. "But we are a lot more than that," says Hunter. "We want to show the world that we can think outside the diamond," explains Andrew McCutchen (Pittsburgh Pirates). "Together we can do a lot of good," says Damon.
"With Refresh Project what we have learned from the NFL piece is that we are reaching consumers," said Dubiel. "So our takeaway about the power of sports and the NFL was, Wow! We are certainly hoping to replicate that moving forward."

Actor, writer Fee King partners with Rob Lewis, CEO of NEX-Phase Entertainment as executive producer to bring you an autobiographical account of a young girl's untimely coming of age into womanhood told through the lens and carefully crafted vignettes by the artistry of Director Sammie Wayne, IV and poignantly delivered through the creative vessel of the phenomenal Fee King. She brilliantly allows theater lovers to peek into what her life was like under the rule of an alcoholic mother. This stage play runs for three weekends in June beginning Thursday, June 12, 2014 through Sunday, June 29, 2014 at the beautiful Actors' Gang in Culver City, California – 9070 Venice Boulevard, Culver City, California 90232.
Men, women and youth will laugh, groove to that feel good, old school R&B, and be elevated – leaving the theater having experienced an extraordinary story of survival reminding all that you can overcome, especially our youth, any obstacle on your journey. "Telling this story helped me heal my relationship with my mother and forgive her," said King.
Proceeds from this production will benefit Peace4Kids, a non-profit which provides programs and services for foster and at-risk youth from ages 5-18, and after they transition to adulthood until age 24. Executive Producer, Rob Lewis said, "Theater does exist in Los Angeles and we're happy that our youth will benefit through such a worthy organization."

On Sunday, Naveen Selvadurai announced he would be leaving the company he co-founded, Foursquare.
"I feel I've done all I can do and I'm moving on," he wrote.
"I realize that I have a desire to do something new."
The announcement makes it sound like Selvadurai chose to leave Foursquare, now worth $700 million.
But that may not be the case.
A source who spoke with Selvadurai during his final discussions with Foursquare says Selvadurai feels pushed out – pushed out by his cofounder Dennis Crowley and the Foursquare board of directors.
Selvadurai told the source he was financially "screwed" when he was forced out too.
It's unclear how Selvadurai was financially damaged. When an employee leaves a startup, their salary stops and stock options stop vesting.
The severance was complicated enough that Selvadurai had to bring in a lawyer to help.
"[Selvadurai] tried to fight it," says this source. "It was a contentious thing. He was pretty f---ing upset."
A second source familiar with the situation tells us Selvadurai's departure wasn't a simple firing or a resignation: "These things can be very gray."
What happened?
Why would Foursquare push Selvadurai out, if that's what really happened?
We don't know.
But one source tells us Selvadurai and Crowley "hadn't been getting along" for some time now.
Another source close to Selvadurai tells us he has, for a while now, felt lost at Foursquare and he has been frustrated about his role.
"Foursquare has a CEO; that job is taken" says a source briefed on Foursquare's founder divorce. "Might Naveen be happy about that or not, I don't know. I can see that as being hard."
Selvadurai worked hard to make Foursquare what it is today. But Foursquare has always been Crowley's dream. Crowley has been working on this company in some form for years, even before iPhones or his first startup Dodgeball existed.
Selvadurai, Foursquare PR, and Crowley declined to comment.
This is normal.
Cofounders and early employees at hot startups go through tough separations all the time.
Take Zynga, for example. When Mark Pincus realized employees with significant stock options were "resting and vesting," he gave them an ultimatum: get to work or get fired.
Jack Dorsey, who some have called the next Steve Jobs, was pushed out of Twitter. The board didn't feel he was ready to be CEO.
During Facebook's early days, Eduardo Saverin wasn't pulling his weight and Zuckerberg forced him out, diluting his stake in the company along the way.
The exception may be Google's Sergey Brin, who heads "special projects" while his cofounder, Larry Page, runs the company as CEO.
When cofounders do stick around, it's often in non-operating, lower-profile roles. Yahoo's David Filo still works in a cubicle, even though he's a billionaire. Apple's Steve Wozniak never wanted a say in running that company.
A source close to Selvadurai can't imagine him being happy with a role like Filo's.
"Naveen is a proud guy and a real entrepreneur -- someone who probably wouldn't want to remain in a situation that wasn't fulfilling for him," says a source.

Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices - eBookBrian D. McLarenThomas Nelson / 2008 / ePub$0.993.5 Stars Out Of 5 6 ReviewsAvailability: In StockStock No: WW4968EB
of customers would recommend this product to a friend.
chris miller5 Stars Out Of 5Excellent ReadAugust 30, 2011chris millerQuality: 4Value: 3Meets Expectations: 4Ancient Christian practices are so hot right now.
That might not be true.
It might very well be true, I just have nothing to confirm or deny it. There seems to be a trend towards "rediscovering" the way church was done in the past as in ancient practices, but I have nothing to back that up but a hunch and what I've heard on the internet.
When I saw the title for Brian McLaren's book "Finding Our Way Again: the return of the ancient practices" I got really excited.
I picked it up expecting it to be filled with wonderful things I dreamed I would try: practices that would align my daily life in 2011 with the lives of saints of old.
It wasn't everything that I expected.
I was expecting to read about how I can more practically incorporate those ancient practices into my daily life. I was expecting a breakdown--more than that, a list--of practices, and a simple 1, 2, 3 step approach for beginning them.
McLaren didn't deliver. Well, to be fair, it wasn't his intention to deliver those things. This book stands as an introduction to a series of books. The subsequent volumes, written by other authors, will share more of what I thought I wanted. This introductory volume seems to exist to lay the framework for why us, the readers, should care about spiritual practices.
I say that I thought I wanted the expectation highlighted above. I came to realize as I read, that I was getting something better, and something more in line with what I needed.
McLaren highlights four reasons for writting this book (found on page 201 of my copy), and I hope I'm not giving anything away here: "First. spiritual practices help develop character, the kind of character we see in Saint Francis standing as a man of peace before the sultan. Second, they help us be awake and alive and more fully human, as this singer of songs, lover of birds, embracer of lepers, and carrier of joy so clearly was. Third, they help us experience God, or as we have said more recently, they help us join God so that we glow with Francis like holy embers radiant with the fire of God."
And there is a fourth:
More specifically, McLaren is pointing readers to an understanding that despite many differences between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, there are similarities in both ancestry (Father Abraham) and spiritual practice (such as fixed hour prayer) among others.
His desire is that we, meaning the adherents of the three faiths, would give more consideration to these similarities, and less to the differences. While we might all have very different opinions of Jesus, we need to "pursue the ancient way in which we learn to practice peace, joy, self-mastery and justice: because the future of the world depends on people like you and me finding it and living it and inviting other to join us."
I understand that some people have strong opinions of Brian McLaren. This is the first book, of his that I've read. There were parts I didn't agree with, but there was much I did. And more than that, much of what I read challenged my thinking.
I got from this book, not what I expected, but instead what I needed. I have a greater understanding of how life today can connect with the ancient practices of old. I'd say that chapters 15 through 19 were worth every bit of time put into the book. While the whole book is well worth reading, I'd recommend it to other just for those five chapters alone.

Many flounder for fulfillment in their spiritual journeys, often moving in directions that lead to dead-ends. McLaren's Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices explores some of the hows and whys of this, and suggests a number of ancient practices that can strengthen our relationship with God so that we no longer feel lost. He does not suggest that these practices are essential elements of the Christian walk, nor that they will lead us "closer" to God. He simply points out that they are tools -- some used for millenia -- that can enable us to see God in places we have, well, missed seeing Him along the way. Each chapter ends with "Spiritual Exercises" -- questions and suggestions that encourage the reader to think through and beyond the content of the chapter in order to make personal applications. The end of the book offers a chapter-by-chapter study guide that challenges the reader to explore each topic more fully, and there are also notes that enable study beyond the realm of the author's own text.
I've never read any of Brian McLaren's work before, nor do I recall hearing anything about his books. While I found him to be a bit inclined towards discussing faith in general terms, as opposed to faith in Christ specifically, his convictions as a follower of Christ were clear, and I found myself agreeing with many of his comments about "religion" as it contrasts true faith. The beginning of most chapters seemed to rile me a bit for some reason, but I was heartily acknowledging the wisdom of his words by the end of each. I particularly appreciate the analogies he used to illustrate his points because they truly help to clarify his ideas for me. I also like the fact that his writing is scholarly, but not in a pretentious way. He presents facts and ideas about history and theology in ways that are easily accessible to the reader who may not be as well-versed in those subjects. What I like most about the book is that McLaren does not separate spiritual disciplines or practices from everyday life: he demonstrates the sacredness of all aspects of life, and challenges us to wake up and experience God moment-by-moment, day-in-and-day-out.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in historical and biblical faith practices, and to anyone that longs for a richer relationship with God.

Since then, I haven't agreed with all he's written but I still find him worth paying attention to. When I received the opportunity to review his latest book through the BookSneeze.com program, I knew I couldn't pass it up.
Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices sets the tone for the Ancient Practices Series, which explores early spiritual disciplines. It seems important to discuss why we practice spiritual disciplines in the first place before studying specific ones more in depth.
Chapter 2 alone made the book worth reading, a good sign for what portended.
McLaren shares a few reasons for the importance of practicing spiritual disciplines.
1. Spiritual practices help us narrow the gap between the person we are and the person we want to become.
2. They help us be people who see, hear, and experience the world around us. They help us rediscover the beauty of life and living.
3. In these two things, we are drawn to God and more alert to His presence. "Becoming awake and staying awake to God," as McLaren puts it.
4. Spiritual disciplines shape us into people who practice peace, joy, self-mastery, and justice. And this makes all the difference in the world.
The book goes on to clarify how spiritual disciplines are classified, whether contemplative, communal, or missional. Still, the specifics of the disciplines themselves are saved for the other books in the series. This truly is an overview. You might not find it valuable to read this precursor but I found it to be helpful to explore the heart and faith behind this movement.
The examination of via illuminativa was most intriguing of all to me. The final section of the book devotes itself to the ancient practices. This served as both a lesson in church history and in awakening my spirit. Via illuminativa sees everything, all of life, in the light of God. This light tells us that God is everywhere and reveals the magnitude of His character, or at least as much of His character as we'll ever understand.
"Light, like God, relativizes time and space and thus renders us part of something big and beautiful and fast and timeless and mysterious and wonderful and colorful...and spiritual" (p. 163.)
I found the discussion on via illuminativa to be utterly beautiful. And then came the passage on the other side of the coin. Where there is light, there has been darkness. When we experience a dark night of the soul, we long for light ever more. When we've recovered, we see that there are gifts in such an experience, even if only that we have a greater appreciation for light. Having experienced such a time in my life, it was helpful to read about via illuminativa and frame that period in another way.
Perhaps that is what spiritual disciplines become: a way of reframing our lives. It helps us remember who we were and Who we are striving toward.

The Return of the Ancient Practices
When I had the opportunity to read and review this book I have to admit I was kind of excited. I haven't read anything by Mclaren, but I have heard a great deal about him. Most of the stuff that I have heard about him has been negative. After everything that I have heard most would wonder why I would be excited about reading someone that no one likes or that everyone speaks negatively about. Most critiques I have heard of Mclaren have been critiques in regards to his theology. With all the critiques of him that I have read, I have also heard dozens of compliments on his writing style. Mclaren's writing style is filled with good illustrations, one-liners, and stories. Mclaren has mastered the artform of storying telling. Mclaren is a very popular author because of his writing style. Mclaren does not write just stories for the story's sake, but writes theology in the story form. Although the stories are at the forefront of his writing, Mclaren has a theological agenda in his writing. One reason I personally enjoy this is because the reader gets so caught up in his stories, illustrations, and one-liners that the reader longs to agree with his teaching. The reader ends up learning theology in a very simplistic way that is very easy to remember. I think more reformed writers need to try to employ this writing style, matching good stories, illustrations, and one-liners with sound theology (which Mclaren fails to do). Reading Mclaren can be compared to enjoying a desert buffett, everything taste good at first, then you get home and realize, you overate and you are left sick for days. His writing is extremely enticing, but if followed to the logical conclusion it could be very damaging. Mclaren at times seems to be promoting a universalism between Islam, Judiasm, and Christianity, Other times Mclaren seems to be striving only to remove the hostility between the groups towards the others. Whatever Mclaren's end goal was in writing, it is not very clear as to what exactly he is saying and what it is that he is not saying. When Mclaren speaks about the unity of the groups he also never offers much clarity in regards to exactly what this unity looks like or why there even needs to be unity among the groups. I could agree with Mclaren that there should be a desire for there not to be hostility towards each religion, but I think everyone should distance themselves from him in regards to desiring unity among diversity in theology. I don't see why there is a need for unity in regards to practice/theology among three groups. In an age where syncretism is the norm, I think we strive for clarity among distinctions more than anything. In modern America it is becoming more and more difficult to determine the difference between Christianity and _ nearly every other worldview. Syncretism is not the solution, but clarity in distinction and love towards one another rather than hate is the solution. With this distinction, one of the most loving things that can be shown to a Jew or a Muslim is to show them their need to put their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins. Jews need to see that the Messiah has come and they have rejected him. Muslims need to see that Christ is the "Word" of God and not simply a "word" of God. A Muslim likewise needs to see that Christ is God the risen Messiah and that outside of faith in Christ one cannot be saved. Sharing the gospel becomes extremely difficult when a person believes their worldview is not at enmity with the Christian worldview. Scripture is very clear of the exclusivity of the Christian worldview. Jews and Muslims alike reject the risen Christ as Lord and Messiah and must repent of this and turn to him for forgiveness of their sins. Love among the three groups does not unify them but actually clarifies the distinctions among the parties and longs for the other two parties to come to repentance in hopes of avoiding the wrath of God. That is my major critique of Mclaren, which is a Major critique I might add! With that said, I think there is still much to learn from Mclaren in his book. Mclaren discusses how we too often go through life and never notice life's many beauties. Because of the life's fast pace we often do not notice the beauty of the clouds, a breath of fresh air, the moon, the grass, the taste of coffee, and ad infinitum. Mclaren in this section reminds me of Blaise Pascal's famous quote in Pensées, "The present is never our goal: the past and present are our means: the future alone is our goal. Thus, we never live but we hope to live; and always hoping to be happy, it is inevitable that we will never be so." I spend too much time thinking of past or the future and never enjoy life's many beauties of the here-now. Because of life's pace I do not take enough time to enjoy God's creation. Creation like mankind waits and groans for its restoration upon Christ's return. Romans 1:18-21 testify that God's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature can be clearly seen through creation. Although Romans 1:18-20 Paul's argument is to demonstrate how all man is without excuse in regards to not accepting gospel's truth because of general revelation. Although this passage is in reference to all men being accountable because of general revelation it also testifies to the reality that creation proclaims God's invisible qualities, eternal power and divine nature. There are a great deal of passages which also testify to reflecting upon the greatness of God through what is revealed in nature (e.g. Ps 24:1-2, Ps 33:6-9, Psalm 89:11, Col 1:16, Rev 4:11, Psalm 65:9-13, Psalm 147:7-9, 12-18, Jeremiah 10:13, Psalm 104:21-30, Matthew 6:28-32, Proverbs 8:22-31, Psalm 19:1-6, Psalm 97:1-6, ect). Nature reveals God's glory, his righteousness, and his sovereign rule. I think the Christian church could profit a great deal by slowing life down and taking time to reflect upon creation's beauty and how it reveals God's divine nature. I do not see this as creation worship, but as seeing creation as it is intended to be seen, as a means/ declaration of God's glory. Slow down, enjoy life and take advantage of the day and "thus live" as Pascal words it. I am thankful for Mclaren for this reason, but I would be hard pressed to recommend the book without a lot of prefaces to the recommendation. Mclaren's book was a fun read and even though I there were some great things I was reminded of because of the book, there are plenty of other books by guys who are orthodox who discuss some of the same ideas.

Young and ReformedAge: 18-24Gender: male1 Stars Out Of 5Not worth the time.January 21, 2011Young and ReformedAge: 18-24Gender: maleQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices, by Brian McLaren
In his book Finding Our Way Again: The Return of the Ancient Practices, Brian McLaren intended to address Christians and encourage them to "rediscover the Christian faith as a transforming way of life." His goal was (and is) noble, his assessment of the problem was clear, but his solution was vague and far from Biblical. McLaren claims the Christian faith as his own, but throughout the book makes it clear that he considers the Christian faith to be anything but exclusive in its truth claims. He says that "the way - Jewish torah, Christian gospel, or Muslim deen - leads us toward the peace, wisdom, and joy that we seek." By this he essentially says that each of these ways, which are drastically different from each other, are equally valid ways of reaching that "peace, wisdom, and joy that we seek."
McLaren claims that the problem with Christianity (by "Christianity" he means Muslims, Catholics, and any other religion that is remotely similar) is that it has become nothing more than a "system of belief" and that it needs to be more or a "way of life." I couldn't agree more, but he offers little to no Biblical support for his methods of change which are basically doing simplistic rituals to help yourself do better. The book is basically a self-help book with the façade of being Christian in nature. McLaren is a modern-day false-teacher and his teaching should not be taken seriously.

While the holiday season is typically a time for giving, it is seen less charitably by criminals engaged in consumer scams. Here are few helpful tips to avoid becoming a victim to charity and fundraising fraud:
(1) Never give on impulse or give into high-pressure requests for contributions or donations. Always review all written information before making a donation. If a solicitor refuses to provide written information, refuse to donate. Don't be afraid to ask if the person is a volunteer or a paid fundraiser.
(2) Make sure you know how your donation will be distributed and know how much of your donation will actually go to the charity itself (versus administrative costs). Legitimate charities will not pressure you for an immediate donation and are happy to provide information about their charity for you to review.
(3) Avoid giving cash and always make your check payable to the charity, never an individual. Be sure you know the name, address and telephone number of the charity. Be wary of names closely associated with the name of a well-known charity, using familiar words such as United, American or National.
(4) Never give out personal information, such as your birth date, Social Security number, credit card number, checking account number or any financial information, to a solicitor either by telephone, mail or at your door.
(5) Never give a donation to a charity that (a) offers to take your donation directly from your account, such as an automatic debit; (b) encourages you to send a donation by courier/overnight express mail; or (c) asks you to wire your donation. Donate directly to the organization either in person (at an event sponsored by the charity) or through the U.S. Postal Service.
(6) When donating items through charitable bins, commonly located in parking lots, read the disclosure stickers posted on the bins to determine the for-profit and non-profit bins. Non-profit companies will provide a majority of their proceeds to charities. For-profit companies often sell their donated items overseas and send a small percentage of their proceeds to charities. If you are in doubt, check online for charities you have not heard about or donate to local charities or thrift stores that are familiar to you.
(7) Know the difference between "tax deductible" and "tax exempt." Tax deductible means you can deduct your donation on your federal income tax return. Tax exempt means the charity does not have to pay taxes. Even if a charity is tax exempt, your donation may not be tax deductible. If you would like a tax deduction, ask the charity for a receipt stating that your donation is tax deductible. For more information, see http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt027.shtm and www.give.org/tips/tax.asp or call 877.382.4357 for a brochure.
Thank you again for your generosity and making a difference. For more information about giving to charities and fundraisers, contact the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/charityfraud or 877.382.4357.

I am now applying for postdoc positions and faculty positions at teaching colleges, all through mathjobs. I have a location constraint, and so am applying to universities all within a single metropolitan area. There are many colleges and universities in this area, but not all of them have positions listed on mathjobs.org.
If a college has not listed a position, does this mean that they will not hire under any circumstances, or might they be able to hire if given the right opportunity? i.e. is it worth contacting department chairs at these colleges and inquiring? I am graduating from a top school and might perhaps be a "catch" for some of the smaller teaching colleges.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Assistant Manager Harassed 12 Women, Including Teen, in Two States, Agency Charged
DENVER – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has settled its class sexual harassment lawsuit against the Dillard's department store chain for $500,000 and substantial remedial relief on behalf of a class of 12 female former employees who were sexually harassed by an assistant store manager in two states.
The EEOC maintained in its suit that assistant store manager Scot McGinness sexually harassed women at two Dillard's stores. The EEOC said that Dillard's knew that McGinness was sexually harassing young female subordinates at the Palmdale, Calif., store, but failed to take appropriate action to stop the misconduct. Instead, Dillard's transferred him to a managerial position in its Westminster, Colo., store, and failed to notify the new store about McGinness's history of sexual harassment.
Moreover, after a Colorado female associate complained to her store manager that McGinness inappropriately touched her, McGinness was given only a verbal warning regarding his conduct. Only 10 months later, when McGinness physically and verbally sexually harassed an 18-year-old high school senior and the Westminster police were contacted, did Dillard's finally fire McGinness.
Sandra Padegimas, the EEOC trial attorney who prosecuted this case, said, "Cloaked with his mantle of authority, Mr. McGinness used his power over his female subordinate employees as a way to reward or punish his victims. By failing to notify the Colorado store about this man's sexual harassment in California at the time of his transfer to Colorado, Dillard's permitted its Westminster employees to go in harm's way."
Chester V. Bailey, director of the EEOC's Phoenix district, which oversees Colorado, said "Sexual harassment violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado after investigating multiple charges of discrimination and first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement."
In addition to paying $500,000 to the 12 women, the consent decree settling the suit (EEOC v. Joslin Dry Goods, d/b/a Dillard's, Civil Action No. 05-CV-00177-WDM-KLM) provides an injunction prohibiting the company from discriminating based on sex or retaliation. The company will provide significant sexual harassment training to employees and management officials, including training for managers on how to properly investigate sexual harassment allegations. Dillard's further agreed that, henceforth, if it transfers an employee from one store to another after it receives a sexual harassment complaint about the employee, the new store will be advised of the complaint. The company also agreed that, unless its investigation of such complaints demonstrates that the complaint has "no merit," the alleged harasser will receive two hours of additional anti-harassment training. During the decree's three-year term, Dillard's will provide reports to the EEOC about any sexual harassment complaints it receives.
Ybarra Lloyd, who worked at the Palmdale store, said, "The EEOC helped us ladies stand up to Dillard's. In order to settle this lawsuit, Dillard's had to agree to make changes in its workplace that, hopefully, will prevent others from being victimized. I think employers should be required to tell their employees about the EEOC because most of us don't know that there is an agency that can help victims fight workplace discrimination. The EEOC gave us a voice!"
Another class member, Ketty Lopez, who worked at the Palmdale store, said, "Our complaints about sexual harassment were ignored because no one seemed to care – but the EEOC made them care. Now Dillard's will have to follow up on any complaints about sexual harassment it receives."
According to company information, Little Rock, Ark.-based Dillard's ranks among the nation's largest fashion apparel and home furnishings retailers, with annual revenues exceeding $7.7 billion. The company operates 330 Dillard's locations spanning 29 states, all under the Dillard's name.
EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill, said, "Employers have a legal duty to take appropriate corrective and preventative action the first time they learn of discriminatory conduct in the workplace. We can't stress enough the importance of employers taking adequate steps to protect the rights of all employees."
In September 2004, EEOC Chair Naomi C. Earp (then vice chair) launched the federal agency's national Youth@Work Initiative -- a comprehensive outreach and education campaign designed to inform teens about their employment rights and responsibilities and to help employers create positive first work experiences for young adults. The EEOC has held more than 3,400 Youth@Work events nationwide since the program was launched, reaching more than 212,000 students, education professionals, and employers. Further information about the Youth@Work campaign, including how to schedule a free Youth@Work outreach presentation, is available on the agency's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/initiatives/youth/index.html. Specific EEOC-related information for teens is available on the Youth@Work web site at http://www.youth.eeoc.gov.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Hall-bound Larkin sped through Minors
Reds shortstop legend played just 177 Minor League games
By Benjamin Hill / MiLB.com | January 11, 2012 12:41 PM
That's certainly the case when it comes to 2012 inductee Barry Larkin, who accumulated just 673 at-bats over two seasons before making it to the Major Leagues for good. Over the last 10 Hall of Fame elections, the only player who received less Minor League seasoning was 2004 inductee Paul Molitor (who batted just 228 times in the Minors before debuting with Milwaukee in 1978).
As a first-round Draft pick who hailed from a well-respected Division I program (the University of Michigan), Larkin was certainly primed to make a meteoric ascent to the Majors. But before he cemented himself as a cornerstone of the Cincinnati infield, he logged time with the Double-A Vermont Reds and Triple-A Denver Zephyrs, playing for the former in 1985 and the latter in 1986. At both stops, his manager was Jack Lind.
"[Larkin] was one of the best guys I ever met, right from the get-go," recalled Lind, a 65-year-old professional baseball lifer who currently works as a scout for the Houston Astros. "He had a good work ethic, played hard and hustled no matter what the situation. He was a guy coming from a major college program, but heading straight into Double-A he struggled a little bit in the first half of the season. He made the necessary adjustments, though, and ended up hitting about .270."
Indeed he did. Larkin finished the season with a .267 average over 72 games, stealing 10 bases and accumulating more walks (23) than strikeouts (21). He and his Vermont teammates went on to win the 1985 Eastern League championship over the New Britain Red Sox, setting the stage for further success with the 1986 Denver Zephyrs. That season, Larkin hit .329 with 10 home runs, 10 triples, and 19 stolen bases en route to being named both MVP and Rookie of the Year in the Triple-A American Association.
And though the Zephyrs were just one level above the Vermont Reds, the two Minor League environs couldn't have been more dissimilar. Vermont played at Burlington's Centennial Field, a no-frills facility whose grandstand was erected in 1922 (Centennial Field now hosts the Vermont Lake Monsters, and is currently the oldest ballpark in all of Minor League Baseball). The Zephyrs, by contrast, played in Denver's outsized Mile High Stadium -- a home they shared with the NFL's Denver Broncos.
"[Mile High Stadium] was made for him. He was a spray hitter, hitting the ball to all fields, and he was able to spray the ball all over the place," said Lind.
Among Larkin's teammates in Denver were several other players who went on to make an impact in Cincinnati, including alumni of the 1990 World Championship squad such as Rob Dibble, Chris Sabo, and Paul O'Neill.
"I knew that the team had talent, and that several players had a chance to have good careers in the bigs, but I wasn't a trained scout then. It wasn't my job to single out anybody," said Lind. "I was there to provide a good atmosphere in which to learn."
Clearly Larkin flourished in the atmosphere Lind created. The shortstop appeared in 103 games with Denver before making his Major League debut with the Reds on Aug. 13, 1986. That was to be the first of 2,180 big league contests, during which he accumulated a body of work worthy of Cooperstown enshrinement.
"[Larkin] was a humble guy who carried himself proudly and politely," said Lind. "[His career] shows what can happen when you have a good work ethic, keep your nose to the grindstone and battle your way through."

The St. Thomas Aquinas High School boys hockey team lost 4-1 at Trinity of Manchester on Dec. 19. The Saints returned the favor, winning by the same score on Feb. 20 at the Dover Arena. Now the Saints are set to host the Pioneers on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the Division I quarterfinals.
"We're starting to roll at the right time, and that's what matters," St. Thomas senior defenseman Garrett Palmer said. "We just have to keep playing how we've been playing. If we play like we played them last time, we should be fine."
And No. 4 St. Thomas (12-5-1) has been playing pretty darn well lately. The Saints enter the tournament with seven wins in their final eight games, the only setback in that stretch a 7-4 loss at home to Manchester Memorial on Feb. 6. No. 5 Trinity (11-5-2 overall) is 1-2-1 in its last four regular-season games.
"There's been more consistency," St. Thomas coach Andrew Leach said. "The intensity, the systems, the execution of the plays. When they had chances, they buried them. We're looking to carry that into the playoffs.
The Saints are happy to be at home, which will be the first home playoff game for Leach in his three years as St. Thomas coach. Last year, the Saints lost at Bishop Brady in the first round of the tournament.
"It's really big," said junior forward Glenn Wiswell, who scored twice in the win over Trinity. "We get to play on our home ice in front of our own people. We're used to it. Trinity plays on a wider rink, so it'll be an advantage to be on our own rink.".
Zane Angelopoulos made 24 saves in last week's win over Trinity. TJ Boulanger and Hayden Middleton also scored.
Wiswell (20-11-31) and Boulanger (16-12-28) are the team's leading scorers and Angelopoulos has been the go-to guy in net with a 2.38 GAA and two shutouts.
"This is what we wanted," Leach said about playing at home. "I don't even know when the last time we hosted was. Hopefully we can use it to our advantage. I think anybody can beat anybody pretty much in all three divisions of hockey."
A 3-2 loss at Pinkerton on Jan. 19 was the Saints' second in a row and put them at 5-4-1, still in playoff contention but not near their goal of locking up home-ice advantage for a quarterfinal game.
"We had an intervention," Palmer said. "Everything was starting to fall apart. We had some guys sit out but we still managed to win games. I think we just rode that through the rest of the year."
More than two months separated the Saints' two meetings against Trinity. In between the two, Leach said, his team matured, which was evident during the Saints' win last week.
"Our forecheck was on, our defense was uncovered, we didn't give them many Grade-A opportunities," Leach said. "When you play like that, you're tough to beat. When you deviate from that, that's when they break you down. So hopefully, we can continue to focus on what we've been trying to get through to them."
The winner earns a trip to the JFK Coliseum in Manchester for a semifinal matchup next Wednesday against either No. 1 Manchester Memorial (14-4), No. 8 Bishop Guertin (8-9-1) or No. 9 Hanover (6-8-4). The championship game is March 9 at 4:30 p.m. at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester.

Food sculptures fight hunger, raise awareness WITH VIDEO
In a creative effort to fight hunger in Detroit and surrounding areas, Birmingham's McCann Worldgroup hosted a sculpture contest, "Art Over Hunger," this past Friday.
The catch: Participants can only use non-perishable items to sculpt with.
Six teams of two to four students from Detroit's College for Creative Studies participated in the event on a volunteer basis, said McCann Detroit President Chris Fay.
The teams were given $300 and told to buy only non-perishables from partnering company Aldi Food Market for their sculpture.
McCann's event culminated with three of the teams being chosen as winners in a Friday judging panel.
"When we had this idea, (Aldi) supported it," Fay said. "The concept is to use Aldi products as your artistic palette and make sculptures, and as soon as the competition is done, we'll have an exhibit for about 15 days."
The main idea, he said, was to celebrate the holiday season by doing something that could give back to the community.
After the exhibit's close on Wednesday, Dec. 19, the McCann will then donate the food to Gleaners Food Bank of Southeast Michigan to help families throughout the area.
The students participating were judged by top officials of each of the participating organizations.
All teams were given less than two days to create a sculpture with the food items and were judged based on their artistic abilities and creativity.
Aisling Arrington, a participating CSS student, created a Tyrannosaurus Rex with her team's goods.
Arrington and teammate Jill Bersche thought it'd be funny to create a dinosaur in its obvious natural setting -- an advertising company's lobby.
Bersche's son, Damian, was the inspiration for the piece, she told officials.
"He gets really excited when talking about them," she said. "We wanted to bring that energy and excitement into creating our dinosaur."
"Doing this for McCann and Aldi is a cool competition, but you had to be pretty committed to it. It was pretty time-consuming," Arrington said.
All CCS students are in the middle of finals around this time, as well.
Since it's such a busy time, "we're trying to figure out how to juggle everything, but it's almost like a learning experience, because its been really cool to see how different teams manage helping each other out," she said.
And it obviously feels good to do something for a good cause, she added.
After the judges had a chance to look each team's sculpture over, three teams were named winners.
First place was the duo of Maggie Kozma and Allison Wint, who presented a lobster relaxing in a cauldron.
"I was happy to be a part of the event," Kozma said. "It was really fun to work with different people and brought a lightness to the pressures at school to be able to do something for a good cause."
Kozma's team won $750 for getting first place. Second went to Kristina Sheufelt and Lauren Romanowski, who sculpted an octopus out of canned goods, Dorito bags and other non-perishables. They received $500.
Third place went to Amanda Trudell and Ian Kata. The duo built a turtle on the beach and used water bottles to represent the shoreline water. They were given $250 for their efforts.
After the exhibit, the foodstuff statues will be donated to the charity foundation and distributed to families in need throughout the area.

Aarlo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Not sure yet
Hi, I'm an entrepreneur/engineer with an idea for an iPhone/Android app I think can be really fun: "Check in" every day with what you're wearing. I've coded this myself so far, and now it needs a professional designer's love :-).
People into fashion. Lots of teenage girls. But it should appeal to men, too. I like the simplicity of the current design.
I'm looking for:
1) Icon for the home screen - not designed yet, all you! This icon is what a user clicks on to start the app. It should be 48x48 pixels, related to fashion, and fun.
2) Fix up my design for the top toolbar. This is the top navigation bar of the app, always on the screen. An icon is blue when we're at that screen - feel free to choose a different color/overall theme than blue.
3) Fix up my design for the 2 screens. The first screen should make it clear to the user that the button goes to the camera; then they can come back and possibly add a description. The second screen is the history of outfits that the user has worn. Each should look clickable (goes to more details on the outfit).
This is a mobile app, the kind you'd find on an iPhone or an Android phone (this happens to be for an Android phone right now). I want the app to look professional and well-designed - Fashionistas have an eye for design and decorations. But I still want it ultimately to be simple, as it is right now.
If this is a lot to ask, please spend as much time as you would on a project of this price.

Hainan Airlines Launches First Ever Boston to Beijing Service
20 Jun, 2014, 21:00 BST
-- Nonstop Service Begins Today June 20, 2014
-- New Premium Passenger Limo Service Begins July 1
BOSTON, June 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- China's Hainan Airlines today launches nonstop service between Boston's Logan Airport and Beijing, representing the first scheduled nonstop flight between New England and Mainland China in history - and with the industry's most advanced airliner - the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
In addition, Hainan Airlines has partnered with Boston-based Dav El Chauffeured Transportation Network service to provide complimentary private ground transfers for business class passengers within a 30 mile radius of Logan Airport. The same services will be provided by Dav El in Chicago and Seattle. Hainan Airlines already provides complimentary executive car service in Beijing for long haul business class travelers, and has introduced this in Europe as well.
Hainan Airlines will operate the flights year round every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, and due to peak demand, will increase frequency to daily from July 18 through the end of August. With its international hub at Beijing, Hainan offers connections to cities throughout China, including Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xi'an, and Haikou. Travelers may stopover in Beijing in either direction and connect with numerous additional Chinese cities across the Hainan network such as Chengdu or Dalian. The new Boston flight will complement the carrier's existing North American service to Beijing from Seattle, Chicago, and Toronto.
Flight 481 departs Beijing at 1:50 pm local time and is scheduled to arrive Logan Airport at 3:10 pm*. Return flight 482 will depart Logan at 5:10 pm with scheduled arrival at 6:50 pm the following day in Beijing.
Recent changes to visa regulations permit U.S. citizens to stay in Beijing for as long as 72 hours visa-free when traveling to international points beyond China, enabling online onward travel to other key destinations such as Thailand.
"We have had our sights on Boston for a long time, and we are thrilled to finally be able to bring Hainan Airlines' famous five-star service to New England. The new flight provides the fastest way to get to Beijing, the capital of China," said Xie Haoming, President of Hainan Airlines, upon arrival on the first flight. "The new flight saves about three hours off existing routings."
President Xie is leading a delegation of company executives, Chinese media, and business people who will engage in meetings with local business leaders and learn about the Boston marketplace. President Xie added that "Business, leisure and educational travel, and trade between the United States and China has been growing dramatically. This wonderful new link will stimulate this growth via the important Boston gateway, our first on the East Coast."
"Lasting growth in the 21st century global economy will come from our competitiveness in global markets," said Governor Patrick. "Hainan's new flight will better serve our international passengers and build upon our growth strategy to open up Massachusetts to new markets to ensure that we remain competitive for many years to come."
"As Massport is one of the leading economic engines of the region, having non-stop service to China is critical for growing jobs and the regional economy as well as offering nonstop options for leisure travelers,'' said Thomas P. Glynn, Massport's CEO. "The economics and the range of a new generation of aircraft, like the Boeing 787 and the Airbus A350, make new nonstop routes from Boston to markets like Beijing possible."
Since its founding in 1993, Hainan Airlines has fostered a deep rooted culture of providing excellent service and has earned numerous awards. President Xie added, "We look forward to welcoming Bostonians and New Englanders aboard, while at the same time bringing more Chinese business, tourism, and educational travelers to the region."
Hainan Airlines flights can be booked through all travel agents, travel websites as well as online at www.hainanairlines.com or through its call center at 1-888-688-8813. The airline has opened a local office at 31 St. James Avenue in Boston.
(*flight arrival and departure times are one half hour later on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday during the daily schedule period.)

About the Boeing 787 Dreamliner
The Dreamliner carries 213 passengers, 36 in business class, and 177 in economy. Cargo service is also offered. The jetliner features larger windows and has a higher cabin humidity than other airliners, which helps moderate jetlag so passengers arrive refreshed. Every seat has an individual power outlet and USB port, and a state of the art entertainment system offers over 100 movies, audio selections, and games on demand.
About Hainan Airlines
Founded in 1993, Hainan Airlines has a fleet of over 130 Boeing and Airbus aircraft with routes throughout China stretching to Europe, Africa, Russia, Southeast Asia, and North America.

About Hainan Airlines Service
Business class passengers are pampered with priority check-in and access to the lounge. On board, they can relax in luxurious seats that convert into a fully flat bed and feature a turn-down service complete with fluffy pillows, fine cotton sheets and a duvet, pajamas, and slippers. Gourmet Chinese or Western cuisine and wines are served on fine china, glassware, and linens; customers may choose when they wish to dine. Freshly brewed espresso and a selection of teas are available. Amenity kits feature famous Bulgari® cosmetics. Large seatback screens improve the inflight entertainment experience.
At Beijing, with advance reservations, premium passengers are treated to complimentary private Mercedes-Benz® limousine service both on arrival and departure. Those making connections to other Chinese destinations may take advantage of the new business class lounge in Terminal 1 offering a wide range of luxurious amenities. Effective July 1, limo services will be extended to Boston, Chicago and Seattle using Boston-based Dav El.
Economy class passengers can also enjoy complimentary beverages, meals, snacks, as well as the same state-of-the-art entertainment system on individual seat-back screens. If connecting in Beijing, an exclusive transit lounge is open to economy class passengers as well.

Posted by alantk on 2009-01-29
We have gone the full circle with Vinci as our main VC. Our company took a long time to breakeven, and it required some dratic decisions and restructuring to bring it to the stage it became attractive for a major US computer manufacturer to purchase us. In the process, Vinci was tough at times, helped to execute some painful decisions, was a main mover in structuring a 3 way merger, and most of all stuck with us through the good times and the bad periods, supporting the Company over the 8 years it took to make a profitable exit.PRIVATE: Members Only
