"Happy Birthday Suzanne,
make seem like we really mean it" - June 6, 2008 at 5:45 AM
LMAO! I laughed out loud when I saw this one! I wonder if the baker boy got fired?

yes! I busted out laughing when this one made the internet rounds. It just begs the question "Do people ever think at work?"

it's dumb to add 'and underneath that'... but worse to write 'and under neat that' !!
- July 22, 2008 at 3:31 PM
- Laura said...
I can't believe no one else caught this and commented on it. It says under Neat. not, under-neath. It is neat, I'll give it that.

I was working at a Walmart bakery as a decorator when my mom emailed that to me. I posted it on our wall.

ok, this seriously Takes The Cake. Makes me wonder how people get out of bed safely in the morning!
- July 23, 2008 at 12:06 PM
I like the mispelling of "Underneath"
Under Neat - July 23, 2008 at 2:42 PM
- Victory Pantherwolf said...
I used to work at a bakery that wrote the greetings on marzipan- on one cake the happy birthday was written, and then the person's ENTIRE address was written below it (from the order slip)
priceless - July 24, 2008 at 4:07 AM
I just found your site and had to go through every post. I'm now crying because I've been laughing so hard.
This site is amazing!
Keep it up.

Do people have to pay for these "cake wrecks"??? While they are funny...if I had carefully planned some get together with a cake and got something like this...I would be mad!
- July 24, 2008 at 11:54 AM
Oh THANK you so much for this making this blog. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Great blog! I had to read all the posts, I couldn't stop...
- July 25, 2008 at 11:23 PM
That was too much - like the other poster I just went through every single post and now I'm crying with laughter. I just woke the kids up twice laughing so loud. Comguadulations on a great "blog"!
- July 26, 2008 at 4:15 AM
I first read about this cake on Snopes. They have several more "cake inscriptions gone wrong" and some are hysterically funny. One dates back to 1942!
Go to Snopes and search for "cake talk." - July 26, 2008 at 10:23 PM
Found your site on the guardian webpage today and loving your work but I have had to stop, I am literally weeping with laughter at this cake.... it hurts :)
- July 27, 2008 at 8:22 AM
I have to disagree with Jondi who wrote "...if I had carefully planned some get together with a cake and got something like this...I would be mad!"
Think about the entertainment value of this blog. Now, imagine it in real life...you and your friends/colleagues/whatevers laughing hysterically at the mistakes, and laughing even harder at the people who don't see anything wrong. These cakes are worth every penny.
(sorry if this a duplicate post, but I think my earlier attempt failed) - July 27, 2008 at 8:41 PM
I would guess that the phone call went like this:
"Write 'Best Wishes Suzanne', and then write underneath that 'We Will Miss You'..."
I guess. o_o That's the only thing I can think of that would translate out into this particular breed of fail. - July 28, 2008 at 6:21 PM
- die Frau said...
Talk about literal.
A friend had that happen: He left a message saying, "Hi, this is Mike Barker over at ____ Labs, could you please send me the results I need, etc."
The girl sent it to "Mike Barkerover".
I think the misspelling, "Under Neat" says it all. - July 30, 2008 at 5:47 PM
I love it...of all the pictures, this is the only one that got me all-out laughing.
- August 2, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Read through the whole blog (got here from the Aug 1st Woot WWWoundup) and enjoyed it... but for some reason (maybe it was a built-up effect) this post literally made me fall over laughing... twice. Wow.
- August 4, 2008 at 7:25 PM
Ok, clearly the cake was decorated by someone who doesn't speak english and doesn't understand the meaning behind "underneath that"
Clearly the person was given the words to write on the cake. The cake decorator (immigrant) spelled it all out having no idea of its meaning.
The person writing the instructions should have know this and adjusted accordingly. The incorrectly spelled word is the "icing on the cake" but, it's not the real mistake here. The fact that underneath that was written on the cake is the big joke. - August 4, 2008 at 11:25 PM

I just read every post on your site and I'm in tears.

Oh my god! I firmly believe that people should be required to take an i.q. test before they are allowed to breed. Wow.
- August 6, 2008 at 10:40 PM
I'm more worried that these cake decorators just don't speak English! You'd think that would be a requirement!! lol
- August 13, 2008 at 5:51 PM
Hey! I just went through all your posts and I have to say, this blog is amazing :) Thanks for sharing these wrecks with us ;)
- August 14, 2008 at 5:41 PM
I live in the country where this cake was decorated and it is so true!
I have been to the bakery dept of this grocery store! - August 17, 2008 at 5:45 PM
Found this blog via CollegeHumor.com about an hour before I had to go to work today. I had to talk myself down from the laughing/crying jag I was on. I think my wife wonders if I need to be medicated. Gads, I haven't laughed this hard in FOREVER. The photos are, of course, priceless, but your wit in your descriptions is the (dare I put it this way) the icing on the cake. Great blog! Bookmarked!
- August 18, 2008 at 12:48 AM
I know plenty of native English speakers who would make a mistake like this... don't blame immigrants for cakes gone wrong!
- August 20, 2008 at 3:11 PM
- Katie said...
I thought it was "under neat that" you were supposed to write "we will miss you". Hello??? That h isn't silent!
- August 20, 2008 at 4:04 PM
This is the downfall of oral instruction. When I was a kid, I was about to compete in the state spelling bee in our state capital (Phoenix). So my sister sent me a telegram that was supposed to say CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BEST SPELLER NOW ON TO PHOENIX. It actually read CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BEST SPELLER HOW UNDEFEATED. Oddly, it still worked . . . Now I just want some cake.

This has truly made my day! Hilarious stuff!
- August 27, 2008 at 4:16 PM
When I graduated from college, I put in an order for a cake with a simple border and a couple of groupings of lavender roses. The cake I received was decorated with a big... brown... "Indian head".
The worst part? I ordered the cake from the bakery WHERE I WORKED.
My family still brings it up every once in a while. They think it's hilarious. - August 30, 2008 at 4:13 AM
This is amzingly funny. I'm so glad you have this blog.
On a vagely related note. The place where I used to work is on East Haven Dr. I once got a call from a person asking to speak to "East" I asked him to repeat that and he said "East" again. So I asked if he wanted to talk to a Mr. East Haven. He said yes. I then explained to him that was out address, and hung up, stifling giggles. - September 9, 2008 at 4:00 PM
What's amazing is.... several posts on here misspell "misspell" making fun of the kid that probably had to transcribe this from whoever took the order. I bet the baker was handed some chicken scratch of a note as to what should be on the cake.
- September 20, 2008 at 10:45 PM
Well, look on the bright side: That cake decorator's got GREAT penmanship.
- October 2, 2008 at 2:29 PM
- Aaron of Minneapolis said...
LMAO -- That's too good! I see underneath is misspelled, too. :-) At least the decorator has good handwriting, though -- quite likely better than the person who took the customer's message!
- October 4, 2008 at 11:55 PM
You have TOTALLY made my evening. Morning.
It's 2:33 am, I stumbled across this blog by accident, and I am .. in love.
This site is just hilarious and I'm readin' every single post. - October 6, 2008 at 5:34 AM
Okay, clearly Anonymous from August 4th doesn't speak English (capital E) either. Oh, and by the way, sentences end with a period and "known" is the past participle of "to know", incase you didn't know.
I love this site, and I was in stitches until I read your ignorant comment. I'm surprised it was published to be honest, since this is not an immigrant-bashing forum. Boo. - October 8, 2008 at 2:00 PM
He was just writing what it say, right?...
- October 8, 2008 at 9:33 PM
- Mosaicwings said...
LOL!!! this is hilarious! I've been laughing since I found your site!
- October 19, 2008 at 6:36 PM
This is hilarious!
I do feel bad for the bakers where I live as most of them don't even speak English as a second language. After living abroad, I can totally see myself having made that mistake.
Totally made my day! - October 24, 2008 at 2:25 PM
and they spelled underneath wrongOX
- October 26, 2008 at 8:17 PM

Sometimes... when I am sad or bored... I look at this cake and feel better about myself.

I read through just about every post last night, but couldn't keep my eyes open any longer. Imagine my joy/shock/surprise when I opened an email forward first thing this morning... only to find this exact cake!
Yippee!..let's go see about submitting this one to Cake Wrecks.
You can probably guess the rest.
Hey, at least you know I read the guidelines... - December 6, 2008 at 2:28 PM
- rootvegetable said...
Thank you, thank you, thank you - you've made my year! This is the funniest blog I've seen in ages. I will now be on the look out for cake wrecks in Krakow!

- Mel said...
This blog is SOO funny!
At the end of the semester, our teacher brought a cake that he swore was supposed to say "Thanks for the semester" instead it said "Thanks for September!"
Must have been one heckuva month!
Oh how I wish I would have taken a photo!! - December 29, 2008 at 4:29 AM
- zuzu53 said...
My hubbie just called from downstairs and told me to keep it down. I had been laughing so hard at the other cakes and then came to this one and lost it! I think I peed my pants a little.
- January 6, 2009 at 9:20 PM
- Beckie said...
Just found your blog, love it! It took me a second to realize what was going on with this cake and I too was laughing out loud!
- January 26, 2009 at 10:20 PM
I just realized that you started your blog on my birthday!!!
so this may, we'll both be celebrating!
Love your blog Jen! I'm a dedicated reader! - February 2, 2009 at 10:56 AM
I choked on part of my coffee and sprayed the rest all over my computer. Thanks...really!
- February 8, 2009 at 10:34 AM
As a former Wal-mart decorator Ive have been a first hand witness to some tragedies myself, luckily i was there to help fix them.... whoever took this order clearly has no common sense...
I love to go to other bakeries and see how bad the decorators are...I now have a camera and ill definitely have to send you guys some pictures - February 24, 2009 at 12:53 AM
- VeggieT said...
Oh Wow, I can't believe I didn't "Get it" before reading the post. at first thought that maybe suzanne had died... LOL
- March 3, 2009 at 8:02 PM
I wonder why everyone assumes the decorator misspelled underneath. That's probably exactly what it said on the order form.
- March 4, 2009 at 12:32 AM
Don't you just love non-English speaking bakers?
- April 13, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Best wishes Suzanne
We will miss you
("absolutly no quotestion marks parenthse's aposterphe's and double check spelling of Sue Zan underline 3 time's!!!") - April 14, 2009 at 12:16 PM
- Bilby P. Dalgyte said...
Hahaha! and they didn't even spell it right! Double fail :)
- April 27, 2009 at 1:01 AM
Wow, that's neat. I'd even go so far as to say it's UNDER NEAT!
- April 28, 2009 at 8:44 PM
OMG, somebody just pointed me to your site for the first time, and this cake has me with tears rolling down my face I'm laughing so hard!!!!

and they misspelled underneath.
how sad. - June 27, 2009 at 1:57 AM
I heard about it, but I didn't believe it.
Hi! My mother showed me your blog last week. I loooove it! - June 29, 2009 at 12:06 AM
- Meggin (Serendipity Reviews) said...
Hi, I know this is an old post, sorry... I just found you blog though, and it's HILARIOUS! So, I just wanted to tell you you have yet another fan :)
-Meggin - July 10, 2009 at 5:28 PM
I have a feeling that the decorator has been told--several times--"Just write what I tell you!"
- July 22, 2009 at 2:39 PM
My boyfriend and I thought this cake was hilarious. For our 1 year anniversary a while back, he thought it would be funny to purposely have the card tucked into some flowers he bought me say "Happy Anniversary! / Under Neat that / Best Year Ever!"
but apparently the flower shop he went to was too competent (actually... not competent enough?) and left out the "Under Neat."
Love the blog! - September 8, 2009 at 11:14 AM
- Mrs Evil said...
at least the name was spelled right... right?

Years ago I ordered a cake for a family party celebrating my husband's, my father's and my niece's birthdays. It was to have said "Happy Birthday Tom, Buzz and Erica".
What I got was:
"Happy Birthday Tom Buzanerika"
When I went to pick it up I was so angry I told them to keep it, stormed out and bought an uninscribed cake at a different bakery. I wish I'd had the sense of humor to have taken it to the party - I would have had a picture to submit to this site! - November 8, 2009 at 12:24 PM
omgsh! my choir teacher has this picture posted in the room. just a week ago we were trying to figure it out, just heard bout your site today and when i saw this pic i flipped out! either he was the one who ordered the cake or..just a fan of the site! definetley will ask him.
- November 15, 2009 at 3:09 AM
at first i thought it was 'Neat' also, because i didnt catch the real problem, since it was so obvious. but look closer, it appears that it may have originally bean 'Neat' but someone found 'the' mistake and fixed it by adding a little loop to make an h.
- January 26, 2010 at 2:41 PM
You can just imagine:
Customer: "O.K. so can you put best wishes Suzanne, and underneath that, we will miss you. Oh, and could you add sprinkles?"
Baker: "So that's best wishes Suzanne and underneath that, we will miss you. And sprinkles."
Customer: "Oh, and could you do it in pink?Thank you!"
Baker: "Yep, O.K., that will be ready for you to pick up tomorrow morning."
And this is what they get:
(On a cake)
Best Wishes Suzanne
and underneath that
We Will Miss You
It in Pink thank you
Doesn't it worry you that these bakers might actually DRIVE?!?!?!
Thanx, Scarlett Robyn - April 19, 2010 at 3:05 AM

'and under neat that' ....lol That quality humor.
- October 7, 2010 at 12:52 PM
I am a bakery manager. I can see this happenning if the decorator doesnt speak good english. I laughed hysterically when I saw it.
- November 2, 2010 at 1:45 PM
Love it! I had a similar cake wreck with a bridal shower cake. It should have said, "may your love be as timeless as the tides and as deep as the sea". Instead it read - "may your love be as timeless as the tide SAND ASS deep as the sea.". And this was from the "Cake Boss" in Hoboken, NJ! Thankfully we got it fixed before it was delivered to the bridal shower! Just wish I had a picture!

- Martha said...
ah yes...verbal cake directions, i have found from experience, do not work well.
when my brother ed got married to his wife ruth...the bakery congratulated 'ruth & Ned' on the cake.
we freaked and corrected it...but couldn't resist telling every guest there about it. - April 7, 2011 at 8:02 AM

That cake looks like something from the early seventies - but the literal misinterpretation is hilarious -

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

This Evaporative Air Cooler, Humidifier, and Fan is versatile and an economical way to cool and humidify the surrounding air. The Cooler easily rolls from room to room with lockable casters. Oscillating louvers for even distribution of refreshing cool air. Can also be used as a fan or humidifier if temperature is not an issue. Features a 3-D Cooling Pad, LCD panel and remote control. Three modes of computer controlled airflows: Normal, Simulated Natural Wind and Sleep modes.
The Air Cooler works by endothermic reaction (a reaction that consumes heat), meaning the unit sucks air through a wick saturated with water. As the air flows through the wick, some of the water evaporates into the air, consuming the heat that was in the air. An air stream is then blown out the front of the unit and is considerably cooler than the current room temperature! This is not an air conditioner and therefore uses much less energy.
3-Dimensional Cooling Pad: Our SF-611 features a unique Cooling Pad for enhanced cooling performance. The Cooling Pad is made of cellulose paper, impregnated with unique ingredients for high performance and structural strength. Treated with special stiffening and wetting agents for maximum water absorption and retention; and with Anti-Rot chemical for prevention of algae and bacteria growth. Due to the 3-dimensional, weaving structure of the Cooling Pad, SF-611 allows longer contact between air and water. Unlike other units on the market, where air only passes through a flat, 2-Dimensional cloth.
Note: This unit is best used in dry climates or open spaces. Leave window/door open when temperature or humidity rises in the room. Add as much ice as possible and set unit next to you for best effect.
Features and Functions
– Computerized wind modes
– LCD panel on unit
– 3-dimensional Cooling Pad
– Remote control
– 7L water tank capacity
– Washable filter
– Three air speeds: H / M / L

Suffer from insomnia? The droning rhythm of a Chinese Communist official reading a work report out loud will likely do the trick.
It certainly does for many party members: Just 10 minutes into any party meeting, look down the serried ranks of the attendees, and you'll spot the dozers and snoozers, napping away, heads lolling lazily toward their neighbors.
But this could be a thing of the past, since the new Communist leadership has declared war on boring meetings. And no, it's not a fake news report from The Onion. None other than the state mouthpiece, Xinhua, ran an official statement issued after the first Politburo meeting, calling for short meetings with "no empty and rigmarole talks."
China's excitable social media platforms are already abuzz about a meeting last week, when the new corruption-buster Wang Qishan asked attendees not to read aloud from their notes, but – shock, horror – to engage in real discussion.
"It was fresh and new and we had to concentrate," politics professor Zhou Shuzhen said of the meeting, to The Christian Science Monitor.
The revolution will not apparently stop with an end to boring meetings. The flashy, over-the-top red carpet receptions so favored by government officials are also facing the chop.
"No welcome banner, no red carpet, no floral arrangement or grand receptions," Xinhua declared. Entourages will be frowned upon, as will the widely unpopular traffic controls that allow motorcades to whiz past lines of frustrated, stationary drivers.
"The style of officials, particularly top officials, has an important impact upon the style of the party and the style of the government and even on the whole of society," the statement said.
State media has been told to restrain themselves from writing pointless stories about official events unless there is real news value — an order which, if actually followed, would produce some of the shortest newspapers ever seen.
This is the first concrete sign of change by China's new Communist Party leader, Xi Jinping, who took over the world's biggest political party less than a month ago.
This also coincides with confirmation that Sichuan's deputy party secretary, Li Chuncheng, is under investigation for corruption, the first senior target of an intensified anti-corruption drive.
This comes at a time of widespread discontent with corrupt party officials, following a number of explosive scandals, including the murder conviction of the wife of Bo Xilai, one of China's most prominent politicians.
The initial reaction to the war on extravagance has been positive, if wary. On China's version of Twitter, many applauded the move as a good beginning, though some saw it as a publicity stunt.
One Internet user, whose handle is Dashuaijiang, warned, "Such requirements were seen even 20 years ago, but they never came true." Another user, Zuoan Nvwang, said, "I love our new boss. I hope that during his term, he will make our political and economic systems more Westernized."
That's not yet on the cards, but putting an end to meetings that regularly bore their participants to sleep seems like a crowd-pleasing way to start.

23 Mar How to Sell Your Home Yourself
If you ask anyone who has ever tried to sell their home themselves, they'll tell you that from the moment the "For Sale by Owner" sign goes up, the phone begins to ring. Unfortunately, many of those calls will not be from prospective buyers but rather from real estate agents looking to obtain your listing.
Obviously the idea of not having to pay a commission to a real estate agent is attractive to any home seller. But because of all the issues involved in the process, selling a home on one's own can be as challenging as many home sellers will attest to. The key is to be properly prepared. If you are not, your home could remain on the market longer than you expect because you are not attracting and getting offers from qualified buyers. This can be the point where many homeowners become frustrated and consider giving up their dream of selling their home themselves.
However, there are sellers who successfully accomplish selling their own homes. You can be one of them. This industry report has been especially prepared to assist home sellers, such as yourself, understand the elements involved so you, on your own, can sell your home quickly for the most amount of profit.
To help you prepare, here are 10 inside tips that you should be aware of before you make the decision as to whether or not this is the right approach for you.
Price it Right
Correctly setting your asking price is critical. Setting your price too high can be as costly as setting it too low. Home prices are determined by fluctuations in the marketplace, not by your emotional attachment or by what you feel your home is worth. In order to establish a realistic price for your home, objectively compare the price, features and condition of all similar homes in both your neighbourhood and other similar ones that have sold in recent months. It is also important for you to be familiar with the terms of each potential sale. Terms are often as important as price in today's market. Carefully budget your selling costs and prepare a net proceeds sheet to calculate your best estimate of what you will take away from your home sale. Prospective buyers may also request this kind of analysis of buying costs.
Prepare your Home for Sale
First impression is crucial. Make sure your home makes a positive statement by carefully inspecting all details and viewing it through the objective eyes of a buyer. Don't gloss over needed repairs and fix-ups, as your prospective buyers won't. Your job is to ensure that your home stands out favourably from the competition.
Prepare Yourself with all Necessary Legal Documentation
Not surprisingly, there are many important legal contracts and documents that you must assemble, complete and understand. A partial checklist of forms that you will require for prospective buyers and for legal documentation is as follows:
• Seller's Disclosure
• Buyer's Advisory
• Purchase Contract
• Preliminary Title Report
• Mortgage Payout & Penalties
• Loan Application Forms
• Property Condition Disclosure Statement
• Buyer's Cost Sheet
• Home Warranty Forms
• Personal Property Exclusion List
• Property Survey (if applicable)
• Home Inspection Reports
• Market Your Home Effectively
Beyond the sign you will put on your lawn, you should find effective ways to spread the word about your home. Local buyers can be reached through the newspaper, but this is only a small part of the market you are after. Be sure you include the many buyers who could already be working with a REALTOR®. To locate them, target as many top agents as possible in your market to see if the criteria of their buyers match those of your home.
Because out-of town buyers are also important targets, you should create a strategy to reach these people as well. Above all, you should be very service-minded and make it easy for pre-qualified buyers to view your home. Ensure there is always someone available to answer the phone, check messages frequently, and be ready to give qualified prospects a tour of your home as soon as possible.
Remain Objective During a Showing of Your Home
Keep emotion out of the sale of your home, and the best way to do this during a showing is to remain physically in the background. If a prospective buyer says something negative about your home, it is better to counter-balance this point of view by illustrating the positives rather than becoming defensive.
Pre-Qualify Your Prospects
Don't waste your time entertaining buyers who could never afford your home. Research their financial steadiness with respect to job security, salary, debts, liabilities and credit standing.
Negotiate Effectively & Knowledgeably
There will be many details to resolve before a sale can be considered final: price, terms, inspections, possession date, buyer concerns and objections. Make sure you fully understand the contract you have drawn up so you can in turn explain details and ramifications to the buyer and make any amendments to the sale that are necessary. The contract you use should be thoroughly examined by your real estate attorney. Some real estate brokers may be willing to help you do this. While this is going on, manage the buyer's interest in your home so that it doesn't wane during negotiations.
Know Your Buyer
Your objectives during negotiations are to control the pace and set the duration. Try to determine what your buyer's motivation is. Does he or she need to move quickly? Do they have enough money to pay your asking price? Knowing this information will give you the advantage in the negotiation because you will know up front what you will need to do in order to get what you want.
Don't Move Out Before You Sell
Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant. It looks forlorn, forgotten, simply not appealing. It could even cost you money. If you move, you're also telling buyers that you have a new home and are motivated to sell fast which can, of course, gives them an advantage at the negotiating table.
Know Why You're Selling and Keep it to Yourself
The flip side of "understanding your buyer" is to "understand yourself". Your reasons for selling will affect everything from your list price to how much time and money you will invest in getting your home ready for sale. Your motivation will help you determine what is more important to you: the money you walk away with, the length of time your property is on the market, or both. Different goals will dictate different strategies. As someone who wants to sell without a real estate agent in an effort to save the commission, it is likely that money is one of your primary considerations (see inset box below). Whatever your reasons, however, it is very important to keep them to yourself so as not to place yourself at a disadvantage at the negotiation table. When asked, simply say your housing needs have changed.
How to Assess Your Net Gain
To analyze whether or not you will end up ahead by choosing to sell on your own, consider the fact that most buyers do use a real estate agent because it doesn't cost them anything for this service (i.e. the seller pays the agent's fee). Be cautious as buyers, investors and speculators who seek out For Sale by
Owners are typically those in search of a bargain. The low-ball offers from these types of buyers will often net you much lower in the long run. What you will have to judge for yourself is the following:
1. Be as prepared as possible with your marketing, negotiations, evaluations, showings and all legalities.
2. Consider what it will cost you to effectively market your home and assemble all necessary materials from the "for sale" sign to any contracts?
3. What price will a buyer offer you as a For Sale by Owner minus the costs identified in point 2 above. Is this net price higher than the price an experienced agent could net for you minus his/her commission?

2012 Commencement Address
President Shirley M. Tilghman
June 5, 2012 — As Prepared
It gives me great pleasure to continue the tradition of serving as the metaphorical bookends to your Princeton education by having the first word at Opening Exercises and the last word at Commencement. Four years ago, I predicted at Opening Exercises that your time at Princeton would fly by at warp speed, and I have heard from many of you over the past few weeks that it did just that. And while you may be experiencing nostalgia for your days at Princeton, I hope that those feelings are leavened with a well-deserved sense of accomplishment mixed with exhilaration and anticipation for what is ahead. After all, today we should focus on the future — your future. Otherwise, we would call this a Termination Exercise, rather than Commencement.
But for a moment, let me look back at the many ways you have left your mark on this institution, just as it has left its mark on you. You filled this campus with the sound of music, the beauty of dance and the power of theater to both enlighten and entertain. On the playing fields you covered yourself with glory, with the men's squash team, under head coach Bob Callahan '77, winning a national championship and the women's field hockey team claiming its seventh straight Ivy championship. You spoke up for fairness and equality, lobbied for environmental sustainability, kept bees, sustained dialogues on race, watched birds, engaged in entrepreneurship, promoted cheese consumption, solved Rubik's Cubes, argued for education reform and, last but not least, assisted those who are less fortunate. You showed that it is possible to debate the most pressing issues of the day with civility and an open mind. You dazzled your teachers in classrooms with your commitment to learning, and your theses and dissertations will reside in Mudd Library as a testament to your intellectual gifts. It has been a privilege — and a great deal of fun — to have borne witness to your journey through Princeton.
At those Opening Exercises four years ago, I posed a challenge that Adlai Stevenson '22 presented to the Class of 1954 at its senior banquet: "Before you leave, remember why you came." I suggested at the time that it is never too early to start thinking about that dictum. Today it is almost too late, but I hope as you do leave you will continue to think about why you came.
In my address I tried to suggest as strongly as I could that you should not be thinking about your Princeton education as preparation for a specific job and even went so far as to suggest that a Princeton education is intended to prepare you not for a single career, but for any career, including ones that have not yet been invented. In a world that is changing as rapidly as ours, developing the capacity to learn new things is as critical as how well you think or how much you know. Your education is intended to be a vaccine against early obsolescence.
That was then. This is now, four years after one of the most significant downturns in U.S. economic history. Unemployment was 6.1 percent in the fall of 2008; today it is between 8.2 percent and 18 percent, depending on how you count those who are underemployed or who have given up looking for work. So you might well be thinking to yourself, "Was this investment of my time and my family's resources in a liberal arts education a good decision in light of recent events?" And for those of you who have just completed doctoral degrees, you might be wondering whether your preparation for a career in the professoriate will be rewarded with opportunities to teach the liberal arts to the next generation.
If you are asking yourself those questions, you are not alone, for economic hard times always elicit calls for more goal-oriented education. Let me give you some recent examples of this kind of thinking. Last October Florida's Governor Rick Scott was quoted as saying, "We don't need a lot more anthropologists in the state. … I want to spend our dollars giving people science, technology, engineering and math degrees. That's what our kids need to focus all their time and attention on, those types of degrees, so when they get out of school, they can get a job." Last year one of the campuses of the State University of New York eliminated the departments of French, Italian, Russian, classics and theater in an effort to balance the budget, clearly signaling the lower status of the humanities and the arts compared to the revenue-generating sciences. Even former Harvard University President Larry Summers joined in the fray, questioning the continuing validity of General George Marshall's plea to a Princeton audience in 1947 when he said: "I doubt seriously whether a man can think with full wisdom and deep convictions regarding certain of the basic international issues today who has not at least reviewed in his mind the period of the Peloponnesian War and the Fall of Athens." Summers suggested in a New York Times op-ed that skills in data analysis would be more valuable to today's college graduate than learning from history.
It is ironic that these calls for more outcome-oriented education in the U.S. come at precisely the moment when other nations are racing in the opposite direction. They have taken note of the immense creativity of the American economy over the past 50 years, and have concluded that education in the liberal arts promotes in citizens innovation, independent thinking and the ability to work across disciplinary boundaries. From the United Kingdom to Sweden, Australia, India, China and Bangladesh, educators are experimenting with more holistic educational curricula for their students, believing that education that specializes too early and too narrowly produces well-trained technocrats but few innovators.
It will hopefully come as no surprise to any of you that I reject the notion that a liberal arts degree has suddenly become obsolete. To make my case, I will invoke the story of an early Princeton graduate, as told to me by Hunter Rawlings, Princeton Graduate Class of 1970 and the former president of both the University of Iowa and Cornell. The graduate is James Madison, Princeton Class of 1771, who was, to be sure, no ordinary student. He arrived at Princeton in the fall of 1769 from his home in Virginia. He opted to take the freshman exams immediately — you could think of these as the forerunner of AP exams — and after excelling in them, he began taking courses as a sophomore. For the next two years he immersed himself in Latin and Greek, philosophy, natural science, geography, mathematics, and rhetoric, and actively participated in debate, helping to launch what is now the American Whig-Cliosophic Society. After completing all his requirements in just two years, he found himself at a loss as to what to do next, having no desire to follow the traditional professions of that day, the law or the ministry. So, adopting that time-honored tradition of all Princeton students — procrastination — he persuaded President John Witherspoon to allow him to stay on for a year and continue his studies in Hebrew and political philosophy, thereby becoming Princeton's first, if unofficial, graduate student. At the end of that year, still not knowing what he wanted to do, he did what any sensible young college graduate does these days — he journeyed from one orange bubble to another in Orange, Virginia, where he lived with his parents for another four years. Now I can't claim that he lived in the basement, but other than that missing detail, the story certainly sounds like a contemporary one.
Eventually, he found his calling — he embraced the patriot cause and became a leader in the crusade to found a free and independent nation. He went on to author a number of the most important documents that guide our nation to this day: the Virginia Plan, the blueprint that became the framework for the U.S. Constitution; some of the most influential Federalist Papers, which were key to the ratification of the Constitution by the states; and the Bill of Rights. But my favorite story about Madison involves George Washington's first inaugural address in 1789. Washington rejected the 73-page draft prepared by a friend and turned instead to Madison to write the one that he eventually delivered to a joint session of Congress. The speech was such a great success that Congress decided it needed to respond. They asked Madison to draft the response. Washington was so touched by their response that he felt a need to send a thank you note, and, sure enough, you guessed it — he asked Madison to draft it. So these key early exchanges between President and Congress were really Madison talking to Madison in public!
Without taking anything away from Madison's towering intellect, I would argue that the years he spent at Princeton, engaged in the study of subjects such as mathematics and political philosophy, powerfully prepared him for his life's work. His studies with Witherspoon gave him the opportunity to grapple with the ideas on which this nation was founded, ideas stretching from ancient Greece to the Scottish enlightenment; they disciplined his ability to marshal and then defend a well-constructed argument; deepened his moral sensibility; and they honed his writing and speaking skills, all of which were critical to his success in public life.
While what constitutes a liberal education today includes areas of study that could not have been imagined in Madison's time — neuroscience and, yes, anthropology — the qualities of mind and character that a liberal education is intended to impart remain the same. Just as the nascent United States depended upon well-educated individuals who brought historical perspective, political theory and a sympathy for the complexity of human nature to the task of designing a new nation, both this country and the dozens of others represented on this lawn today need thoughtful, open-minded and well-informed citizens to chart their course and influence their future. No, we are not about to administer the last rites for a liberal education.
This is not to say that a liberal arts education is the only valuable form of education. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the great strengths of the U.S. higher education system is its immense diversity, with post-secondary educational institutions of many kinds preparing for meaningful careers everyone from performing artists to nurses to video game designers, teenagers and grandparents, in small classrooms and large online communities. This rich tapestry of opportunity is essential for a well-functioning society.
What I am saying is that to be successful in the 21st century, just as in the 18th century, a society requires citizens who are steeped in history, literature, languages, culture, and scientific and technological ideas from ancient times to the present day. They need to be curious about the world, broadly well-informed, independent of mind, and able to understand and sympathize with what Woodrow Wilson referred to as "the other." Our colleges and universities need scholars who have dedicated themselves to the life of the mind, to preserving the wisdom of the ages, to generating new knowledge and a deeper understanding of the past, and to passing that knowledge and understanding on to the next generation.
I am also saying that a liberal education is a privilege that brings with it a responsibility to use your education wisely, as much for the benefit of others in your community and nation and the world as for your own private good. So, as you walk, skip or run through the FitzRandolph Gates today, as citizens of this and many other nations, I hope you will carry forward the spirit of Princeton and the liberal education you have received. The future is now in your hands. And I expect you to do as you have done at Princeton — to aim high and be bold!
My warmest wishes go with you all.

The nearly 40 percent drop in median household net worth between 2007 and 2010 the Federal Reserve reported earlier this week was unarguably an arresting statistic. It confirmed for millions what they already knew, that the Great Recession and its aftermath have been a financial setback with few parallels.
It being an election year, partisans quickly looked for someone to blame and political advantage. Many conservatives quickly pointed the finger at President Obama, even though the net wealth of many Americans began circling around the drain as housing values plummeted well before he took office.
For many Democrats, it was about blaming President Bush, despite many of the housing and financial deregulation policies that contributed to the crisis predating him too. As the bipartisan Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission concluded in its 2011 report, the policies of both Democratic and Republican presidents and Congresses were handmaidens to the financial calamity.
In any event, White House officials weighed in Wednesday with their most detailed response yet to the Fed data.
In a White House blog post by Gene Sperling and Jason Furman, the director and deputy director of the National Economic Council, the officials looked beyond the data in the Fed's Monday release and, using other data from the central bank's researchers, showed that household net worth has actually improved since Obama took office.
An excerpt (emphasis and links in the original):
"This week, the Federal Reserve released its Survey of Consumer Finances showing the depth of the recession's impact on family finances. The numbers are a tough and brutal snapshot of the financial crisis and housing bubble that President Obama inherited. Based on other, more frequent data, the entire decline in household wealth took place before President Obama came into office and it has risen every year since he came into office. Nevertheless, these data show that wealth still has not fully recovered from the worst recession since the Great Depression and reinforces how much more work we have to do.
"The Federal Reserve conducts the Survey of Consumer Finances every three years so the latest numbers compare family finances in 2007 and 2010. Although the Survey of Consumer Finance is a useful gauge of household finances, it does not record exactly when the changes took place nor does it provide the most timely data. To look more deeply into these questions, this blog post uses another Federal Reserve survey—the Flow of Funds—which has the advantage of providing quarterly numbers and covering the period up through the first quarter of 2012. These data show:
The officials were quick to note in the post that they were by no means saying that all was rosy, or as their boss recently said to the chagrin of even many a supporter of his, that "the private sector is doing just fine."
Their point was more to note that there's been real progress by many Americans towards restoring their household balance sheets. And, yes, they also wanted to claim credit for the president for some of that and to argue, though not in as many words, that he needs four more years in the Oval Office to keep the recovery on course:
"We need to do everything within our power to help more families regain the wealth they have lost and to give more opportunities to larger circle of families to gain the level of net worth they need to provide security and opportunity for their families, which is why the President remains focused oncreating jobs, strengthening the housing market, and improving the overall economy."

When your check engine light comes on, you may be torn between utter panic and just wanting to ignore it and hope it goes away. That's perfectly understandable. That same check engine light could come on for anything from a serious engine or transmission problem all the way down to a loose gas cap.
There's a very common misconception that the trouble codes stored in your engine computer when your check engine light comes on will specifically identify a problem. It's really more like pointing to the symptoms of a problem.
Think of taking your temperature. Say it's 101. Your heat sensor – the thermometer – tells you that your temperature is out of the normal range. But it doesn't tell you why you have a fever. Is it the flu or a sinus infection? You need more information; more tests.
For any given trouble code, there could be a number of causes. So your trained technician takes the trouble code as a starting point and begins a diagnostic process to determine the cause of the problem. And some problems take longer to solve than others.
When your engine management system logs a problem and illuminates the check engine light, your Ormond Beach service technician at Honest 1 Auto Care - Ormond Beach will plug in a scanner, download the trouble codes and go to work tracing the cause of the problem.
That's just the first step. That's when your technician's training, equipment, databases and skill get put to work diagnosing the problem and fixing it.
If your check engine light is flashing it means that the problem could lead to serious damage. You should get to your local Ormond Beach FL service center as soon as possible to get the problem solved. If it's on but not flashing, you have some time to get in at your convenience.
When your check engine light comes on a trouble code is stored in the computer. Some codes are universal and can be read by most scanners. Other codes are stored more deeply in memory or are proprietary to the vehicle make. For these kinds of codes, your service center has powerful, and expensive, equipment and software to help them read and retrieve trouble codes.

Midamor is used for preventing development of low blood potassium or helping to restore normal blood potassium in patients with high blood pressure or heart failure. It is usually used with other medicines. Midamor is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It works by making the kidneys eliminate sodium (salt) and water from the body while retaining potassium.
Use Midamor as directed by your doctor.
- Take Midamor by mouth with food.
- Midamor may increase the amount of urine or cause you to urinate more often when you first start taking it. To keep this from disturbing your sleep, try to take your dose before 6 pm.
- If you miss a dose of Midamor, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Midamor.
Store Midamor at room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C), in a tightly closed container. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Midamor out of the reach of children and away from pets.
MORE INFO:Active Ingredient: Amiloride HCl.
Do NOT use Midamor if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Midamor
- you are taking potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, aldosterone, triamterene)
- you are unable to urinate
- you have high blood potassium levels or kidney problems due to diabetes or other severe kidney disease.
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Midamor. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have heart problems, diabetes, kidney damage caused by diabetes, liver or kidney problems, low blood sodium levels, or a high acidity of body fluids, or you are dehydrated.
Some medicines may interact with Midamor. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), angiotensin II receptor antagonists (eg, valsartan), cyclosporine, other potassium-sparing diuretics (eg, aldosterone, triamterene) or potassium supplements because high blood potassium levels may occur and cause listlessness, confusion, abnormal skin sensations of the arms and legs, heaviness of the limbs, slow or irregular heartbeat, or stopping of the heart
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (eg, indomethacin) because they may decrease Midamor's effectiveness and increase the risk of kidney problems and high blood potassium levels
- Lithium or quinidine because the risk of their side effects and toxicity may be increased by Midamor.
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Midamor may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Important safety information:
- Midamor may cause drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Midamor with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Check with your doctor before you use a salt substitute or a product that has potassium in it.
- Lab tests, including electrolyte levels and blood pressure monitoring, may be performed while you use Midamor. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Midamor with caution in the elderly; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Midamor should not be used in children; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Midamor while you are pregnant. It is not known if Midamor is found in breast milk. Do not breastfeed while taking Midamor.
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects.
Check with your doctor if any of these most common side effects persist or become bothersome:
Diarrhea; headache; loss of appetite; nausea; weakness.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); dry mouth; excessive thirst; slowed heart rate; unusual muscle weakness; unusual tiredness; vomiting.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider.

The news that Boston Marathon bombings suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has been buried in a rural cemetery just north of Richmond, Va., is causing controversy there.
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, concerns are being expressed by "a local Islamic leader, Caroline County officials and some neighbors."
Jaquese Goodall, 21, lives nearby and tells the newspaper: "I don't think it's right. ... I have a fear that some people might come visit him, and you don't know what they'll do while they're here."
Imam Ammar Amonette of the Islamic Center of Virginia, the Times-Dispatch reports, says "a lot of people, especially in the leadership, are very upset because they weren't consulted." Those who arranged for the burial "may have not understood the potential backlash and the impact on the community," he adds.
And at a news conference Friday, Caroline County Board of Supervisors Chairman Floyd Thomas, a Democrat, said "we don't want the county to be remembered as the resting place for the remains of someone who committed a terrible crime."
The Associated Press adds that "local officials [have] asked Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli [R] to look into whether any laws were broken in carrying out the hushed burial. If not, there's likely nothing they can do. 'If there were, I think we'd try to undo what's been done,' Thomas said."
Meanwhile, the local sheriff says the cemetery will now have to be protected.
Tsarnaev, 26, and his 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar, are accused of planting two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The April 15 explosions killed three people and wounded more than 250. They're also accused of killing an MIT police officer on April 18 and of engaging in a gunbattle with police the next day. Tamerlan Tsarnaev died from injuries he sustained during that firefight. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured later that day. He's been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction.
As we've previously reported, it took about two weeks for a Massachusetts funeral director and Tsarnaev's relatives to find a cemetery willing to accept the body. Earlier this week, the police chief in Worcester, Mass., issued a strong appeal for help. "We are not barbarians, we bury the dead," Chief Gary Gemme said.
Martha Mullen of Richmond played a part in the decision to bury Tsarnaev in Virginia. She told NPR's Audie Cornish on Friday that "I was listening to NPR and I heard the story ... that he was unable to be buried and that people are protesting him. And it made me think of Jesus' words: Love your enemies. I felt that, also, he was being maligned probably because he was Muslim."
She emailed the Greater Richmond Islamic Society and the Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia. That helped set in motion a chain of events that led to Tsarnaev's uncle arranging — and paying — for his nephew's body to be transported south and buried in Virginia.
Mullen has been the target of sharp criticism, including from a local radio show host. She tells the AP that "I can't pretend it's not difficult to be reviled and maligned. ... But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, that's what God calls us to do."

Metropolitan Sergius (Tikhomirov) of Japan (1871-1945) was sent to Japan by the Church of Russia as the assistant to and successor to St. Nicholas of Japan as the ruling bishop of the Japanese Orthodox Church.
He was born Georgy Alexeevich Tikhomirov (Георгий Алексеевич Тихомиров) on June 3, 1871 (OS) in the village of Guzh near Novgorod, Russia into the family of a rural priest. His father, Alexei, was a popular and famous priest in the area. Georgy did well in elementary school and after graduation entered the St. Petersburg Theological Academy, graduating in 1896. Upon graduation he continued at the Academy teaching theology. During his time at the St. Petersburg Academy he was noted as a prolific preacher and author of many works on Church history in the Novgorod region.
Prior to his graduation from the Academy he took monastic vows on September 7, 1895, taking the monastic name Sergius. Then, on December 2, 1895, he was ordained a deacon in the Isakievskii Cathedral in St. Petersburg, and two days later he was ordained a priest. He was subsequently appointed inspector at the Academy. In December 1899, Father Sergius was raised to the dignity of archimandrite and was named Rector of the Academy. On October 8, 1905, Archimandrite Sergius was awarded his Doctor of Theology degree. Then, one month later he was elevated to the episcopacy, being consecrated Bishop of Iamburg and vicar to the archbishop of St. Petersburg. He was 35 years old, an uncommonly young age at the time for entry into the episcopacy.
In 1908, Sergius was assigned to be the assistant of Abp. Nicholas of Japan and his eventual successor. He arrived in Japan on June 27, 1908 as the bishop of Kyoto. Already proficient in a number of languages, including Greek, Hebrew, German, Latin, English, German, Arabic, and the Slavic languages, Bishop Sergius immediately began to get acquainted with Japan and its culture and language, and within a year he began preaching Orthodox Christianity among the Japanese people.
Since all previous assistants sent to Japan to help Abp. Nicholas returned to Russia, the latter asked Sergius if he intended to remain in Japan permanently or to return in a few years as those earlier had. Sergius affirmed that he had come dedicating himself to remain for the rest of his life. Over the next few years Sergius involved himself deeply in the church and mission and gradually assumed management of the organization, allowing Nicholas to devote his time to the seminary and his extensive translation work. Sergius engrossed himself particularly in missionary efforts, visiting widely, from the southern part of Sakhalin that Japan had gained from Russia after the Russo-Japanese war, to Kuril Islands and Manchuria.
Sergius was at Nicholas's side during the last years of his life, and after Nicholas's death in February 1912, Sergius was named in May 1912 the new ruling bishop of the Orthodox Church of Japan as Archbishop of Japan. Well familiar with Nicholas's missionary work, the new archbishop continued Nicholas's steps including publication of theological books through the Tokyo Seminary.
Within some six years, however, Sergius had to contend with a different and difficult world. With the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the subsequent takeover by the Bolsheviks, funding for the Japanese mission was cut off. Although this meant that the archbishop had to cut the activities of the mission severely, it nonetheless survived.
On September 1, 1923, Tokyo was hit by the Great Kanto Earthquake. The earthquake caused serious damage to the Holy Resurrection Cathedral (Nikolai-do) at the mission's headquarters in Surugadai Kanda in Tokyo. The main bell tower collapsed onto the central dome severely damaging the building and the subsequent fires burned much what was left of the interior. Thus, Sergius had inherited adversity greater than would be expected. Rebuilding Nicolai-do became central for Sergius and in this he did not give up. He toured throughout Japan asking for donations. He asked a young musician, Victor A. Pokrovsky, a refugee of the defeated White Army, to develop and lead the cathedral choir which toured Japan to raise money for the re-construction of the cathedral. Through these extraordinary efforts Nikolai-do was re-built and re-consecrated in just a little over six years. The re-consecration was held on December 15, 1929 with 5,000 guests present including Abp Nestor (Anisimov) of Kamchatka from Harbin. Then, in 1931, Sergius was elevated to Metropolitan of All Japan by the Holy Synod in Moscow.
Then, as the Japanese church began its recovery under the leadership of Metr. Sergius, the specter of militaristic nationalism began to rise in Japan. Under this new political climate pressures increased on all that was foreign and Christian. Eventually, in 1940, the pressures became too great. In September of 1940, the government enacted a law that Japanese nationals had to head all religious organizations. Thus, Sergius, his choir director, Victor Pokrovsky, and other non-Japanese were removed from their positions in the church. The metropolitan and his choir director were to spend World War II in obscurity, harassment, under suspicion of being Russian/American spies, and were finally arrested in the Spring of 1945 by the special police. In mid 1945, Sergius ended up under house arrest, his health impaired, and died under unusual circumstances on August 10, 1945, only five days before Japan's part in World War II ended.
With Japan in disorder as the war was ending, Metr. Sergius's body was carried for the last rites and burial in a "honey bucket" cart, as he had predicted to friends some years before when he pointed to such a cart that was passing them. The metropolitan was buried beside St. Nicholas of Japan, his predecessor, in the Yanaka Cemetery in Tokyo.
With the intervention of the Japanese militaristic government into the affairs of the Japanese Orthodox Church by forcing all non-Japanese born members out of the Church, the Church administration was thrown into chaos. After the forced "retirement" of Metr. Sergius, the government requested that a Japanese be placed as the ruling bishop. In 1941, under the direction of the military government the Protopriest John Ono was obliged to separate from his wife who became a nun at a monastery in Harbin, Manchuria, then ruled by Japan, and then was consecrated, under the monastic name of Nicholas, as the ruling bishop of Japan. Thus, Bp. Nicholas (Ono) became the first Japanese Orthodox Christian to be consecrated a bishop, though it was under canonically suspect circumstances. Bp. Nicholas subsequently reconciled himself with the Japanese Orthodox Church before he died.

April 15 has come and gone and another year of tax forms and shoeboxes full of receipts is behind us. But what should be done with those documents after your check or refund request is in the mail?
Federal law requires you to maintain copies of your tax returns and supporting documents for three years. This is called the "three-year law" and leads many people to believe they're safe provided they retain their documents for this period of time.
However, if the IRS believes you have significantly underreported your income (by 25 percent or more), it may go back six years in an audit. If there is any indication of fraud, or you do not file a return, no period of limitation exists.To be safe, use the following guidelines.
Business Records To Keep... | Personal Records To Keep... |
1 Year | 1 Year |
3 Years | 3 Years |
6 Years | 6 Years |
Forever | Forever |
Special Circumstances |
While federal guidelines do not require you to keep tax records "forever," in many cases there will be other reasons you'll want to retain these documents indefinitely.
While it's important to keep year-end mutual fund and IRA contribution statements forever, you don't have to save monthly and quarterly statements once the year-end statement has arrived.

University of Houston Buildings
This digital collection documents the built environment of the University of Houston campus from the ground up, featuring maps, aerial views, architectural drawings and models, and photographs of buildings both under construction and upon completion. In all, the collection contains 271 photographs and drawings in both color and black and white, dating from the 1930s to the 1990s.
A comparison of campus maps from 1948-1950 and 1965-1969 highlights the rapid, mid-century growth of the university, while several aerial photographs taken from 1937-1980 provide a dramatic overview of the development of the campus and the surrounding city – from acres of untouched fields to miles of urban sprawl.
Dozens of architectural drawings and models illustrate the finely detailed planning process involved in creating the university's physical appearance. These architectural works comprise both interiors and exteriors of individual buildings, as well as the campus as a whole.
Most of the university's signature buildings are represented with photographs showing their progress from construction to completion, including Moody Towers, the Ezekiel Cullen and Roy G. Cullen Buildings, the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, the M.D. Anderson Library, and many others. Of particular interest are photographs of Veterans Village, which is no longer standing, and the University of Houston at San Jacinto High School, which predated the university's own campus in the 1930s.
The original materials are available in UH Libraries' Special Collections in the UH Photographs Collection.
