One of America's most famous Christmas trees en route to December home
The Norway Spruce that will wind up being one of the most photographed Christmas trees in the United States is en route to its December home.
The 72-foot evergreen that will be displayed in New York City's Rockefeller Center this year was cut down Thursday in Wallkill, N.Y. and will be trucked to the plaza later this week. The tree is expected to complete the 120-kilometre journey on a flatbed truck to the Big Apple on Saturday.
The tree, which NBC 4 New York says is 45-feet in diameter, was discovered in the yard of Shirley Figueroa and Lissette Gutierrez. They gave the tree a final hug before it was brought down.
"I believe if you take something down, you gotta put something back, so we're definitely going to plant… a few more trees, because she took up a lot of space," Figueroa told NBC. "After we bought the house, the previous owner told us, 'Hey, by the way, the tree in the yard? Rockefeller Center has been scouting it. When she told me that, I was like, 'Oh, that would be cool,' but I (didn't) believe it. Until they came knocking on the door."
The Christmas tree, which is a tradition dating back to 1931, will be displayed with 50,000 LED lights and a Swarovski crystal star. The tree will be lit on Nov. 28 and remain on display until Jan. 7.

Chesapeake sells more assets. Market shrugs.September 12, 2012: 11:44 AM ET
Shares of embattled natural gas company Chesapeake Energy (CHK) have bounced back sharply in the past few months. The stock is up more than 50% from its 52-week low in mid-May, a time when investors were very nervous about low natural gas prices and the backlash facing a controversial company program that allowed CEO Aubrey McClendon to borrow money by using stakes in Chesapeake wells as collateral.
One reason for the excitement is that the company has been busy unloading assets to raise capital and pare down debt. But investors mostly yawned Wednesday after the company said it was selling portions of land and infrastructure in West Texas for nearly $7 billion to several groups, including oil giants Chevron (CVX) and Royal Dutch Shell (RDS-A).
Shares of Chesapeake rose more than 2% at the opening bell but they quickly slipped into the red and were down nearly 2% by late morning.
Traders on StockTwits were divided about the merits of the deal. Some wondered why the market didn't view it more favorably.
CapCube: $CHK sale brings 2012 total to $11.6 B (out of $14 B planned) - and @jimcrameron TV criticizing the sale .. too funny
At first blush, it is odd that investors weren't more excited. It's clear that Chesapeake needs to cut its massive debt load in order to remain viable. What's more, some think that the sale signals that things may be turning up for natural gas prices.
Jason100: $UNG I'm inclined to think that this morning's $CHK news confirms the bottom in$NG_F prices.
Still, skeptics astutely point out that Chesapeake may have been forced into fire sale mode because of how low gas prices were. Even though the worst may be over with the McClendon scandal now that Chesapeake bowed to pressure from big investors Carl Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management and agreed to strip McClendon of his chairman title, there are legitimate worries that Chesapeake may be selling too much of a good thing.
NAPManagement: Sorry but $CHK is gutting itself. They are selling all the best assets and leaving themselves with nothing. Then what?
DinaMoeHumm: $CHK Selling assets again? Aubrey get another margin call?
Ouch. Another StockTwits user summed up the situation pretty succinctly.
justkyle: $CHK another example how everyone makes money except the investor

Homepolish was created with one mission: update interior design for the way people actually live today. While teaming up with Homepolish in Seattle, we linked with designer Lindsay Pincus to hear her thoughts on how music and listening affect her approach to design.
Tell us about your design process. How does music and sound fit in?
When I'm seeking inspiration for a new design project, I almost always connect the design concept to a song that I play on repeat. For this project I used Radiohead's new song 'Daydreaming'.
I'll also channel the client's favorite artists and seek to reflect their musical interests through furniture and finishes.
When you're designing a space for music lovers, what are some things you'd recommend?
I of course recommend a surround sound environment. It's clearly become cool again to have your speakers proudly on display, rather than hidden in the walls or a built-in. Make them just as much a part of your shelf-styling as your photos and the vintage bowl you scored at the flea market. When your room both looks good and sounds awesome, you'll likely find that 2+2=5.
What's an easy design technique that anyone can use to make listening better in their homes?
Invite Taylor Swift to your next dinner party. If she can't make it, treat yourself to surround sound. You deserve better than those awful built-in TV speakers.
Tell us about some homes and spaces where you thought sound was perfectly integrated into the design.
I designed a living room for a young family who loves music. We did a custom built-in media center to display their equipment, and incorporated a beautiful grand piano to give the room depth. Whether it's the speakers, the piano or the kids and dogs, the room is the home's beating heart and is always full of sound and life.

Welcome to some page which is like about this award or something for UnProvisers.
A lady in the audience gasps in terror and collapses. She is quickly carried off, but not before everyone has turned to stare at her and a general panic has broken out across the room. "I say" says a pompous looking man, before collapsing with terror, too. Soon the whole audience is one pile of terror-stricken, unconscious and very rich people.
And now back to the topic at hand...
To qualify for the UnProviser of the Month award, you must first meet the following criteria:
- You must be a registered user.
- You must not have nominated yourself. You can vote for yourself, but not nominate yourself.
- You must have been involved in at least two UnProvises.
- You must have made a contribution to Uncyclopedia a month (or less) ago.
- You cannot win the award consecutively (i.e. two or more months in a row)
Rules and guidelines[edit]
These are the rules and guidelines for the UNPotM.
- Anyone who has never been involved in UnProvise has half a vote, everyone else has a full vote. IPs have a full vote if they have been involved in UnProvise, if not they have half a vote.
- Nominate those UnProvisers who have either made you giggle, been really active and made you giggle or have been helping out around UnProvise, a lot. Be sensible with your nominations and avoid joke nominations...now that I've said that there is going to be a tide of joke nominations...even more, now I've said that I guess.
- You can only vote once. You can cancel your vote
by crossing it out, using the <s> tag. You may change your vote at any time, but you may only vote once. No one has an "against" vote, you may only vote "for".
- Additionally, when a user is nominated, the nomination template {{User:Orian57/UNPotMNom}} should be added to their user page.
- If the vote is drawn nobody winds anything.
So what's the point, what do you win?
- Two nothings.
- Highlight on the UnProvise front page.
- Highlight on your userpage.
- You will be entitled to wear a special template (in your userspace only!). This template is found here.
- You may put "UNPotM" in your sig(of nature). Don't mind that bit in brackets, that's just my insanity running away with me.

Let's just say that fresh sand and cornering don't go too well together. And road rash sucks. And once you dislocate a joint (skiing accident, 1994? 1995?) it will dislocate easier for the rest of your life. The bike's got some new scrapes, too. It was about time for new bar tape anyway.
But hey, I still had some of that wonderful Tegaderm stuff in the office, and a co-worker had some Aleve. I think I got my shoulder re-set fine. If it gives me too much grief today I'll probably go see a doc after work.
Ah, Tuesday. How's yours going?

It's not too bad now, I'm feeling a bit better. I think the morphine (err I mean aleve, lol) is kicking in. Strange, though, that the road rash on my leg doesn't hurt. Maybe because it's the same spot that always gets thrashed, and I just don't have much left in the way of nerves there. The rash on my forearm is making typing kind of uncomfortable though.

Sorry to hear about the road rash. Think of it as a Badge of Honor. (Naw, that probably doesn't help.) Adsense seems to disagree with the sparing of photos, they suggest "Turning Moments into Memories" with a portrait ... they also think you should contact an area Injury Attorney. I clicked them for you. Maybe that 11 cents will help ease the pain.

I meant to post a push-up update after my camping trip. The training was too aggressive, and I re-started from Level 1 with better luck. I was doing okay with that until this happened, so yes, no more 100 push-ups for a few weeks. I will likely make a THIRD attempt at 100 push-ups starting in September, maybe earlier.

I knew in my heart of hearts that it was important to keep my hands and feet inside the vehicle until it comes to a complete and final stop. I know when you crash, staying attached to the bike usually keeps things from getting toooooo messy. I just couldn't stop the reflex that made my right arm move out to "catch" me. I'd say "I need more practice" but I think I'd rather not practice bike crashes.

Head lacrosse coach Kelly Nangle has added Brittany Davis to her coaching staff for the upcoming year. Davis brings five years of club coaching and Division I playing experience to her first collegiate coaching position.
"I am excited to join the Central Connecticut women's lacrosse family and I appreciate the opportunity Kelly Nangle and the athletic department has provided me," Davis said. "Lacrosse has always been an important part of my life, so being able to turn it into a career has always been my dream."
"I am excited to welcome Brittany into our Blue Devil family," Nangle said. "Her energy and passion for the sport of lacrosse is going to have an incredible impact on our student-athletes. Brittany's knowledge of the game and her experience as a player is going to be instrumental in developing our attackers. I am thrilled to have her on the sidelines with me as we continue to take this program to new heights."
Davis, a 2012 graduate of Rutgers, played her final three collegiate seasons for the Scarlet Knights. She appeared in 41 games over that time, including seven starts playing midfield and attacker. During her career with Rutgers, Davis scored 25 goals, recorded four assists and controlled 24 draws.
Nangle, who was named Northeast Conference Coach of the Year after her first season with the Blue Devils, was an assistant coach at Rutgers during Davis' first two seasons with the Scarlet Knights.
Prior to Rutgers, Davis attended the University of Delaware for two years. She played in 18 games and made four starts for the Blue Hens.
Since 2009, Davis has served as the head coach of the Long Island Yellow Jackets club lacrosse team, in addition to working numerous lacrosse camps and serving as a referee for local youth lacrosse games.
Before college, Davis was a four-year varsity starter for Shoreham-Wadding River High School in New York. She earned numerous honors athletically and academically in a standout career as a student-athlete.
"Not only am I completely honored and humbled to be given the opportunity to coach at the collegiate level, I am working under one of the most passionate and hard working coaches I have ever known. I am eager to begin building relationships with the student-athletes and cannot wait to get out on the field. With this opportunity, I plan to not only grow and learn as a coach but also put everything I have into the success for this program," Davis added.

|The Ground Zero mosque event was designed to reinvigorate the manufactured Global War on Manufactured Terror. Photo: David Shankbone.
Imagine my surprise when I learned that the so-called Ground Zero mosque has connections to the CIA. Mark Ames, writing for the New York Observer, spelled out the connections on Friday. Ames notes that the "right" (neocons) portray Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as a terrorist sympathizer with ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. "But meanwhile, links between the group behind the controversial mosque, the CIA and U.S. military establishment have gone unacknowledged," he writes.
Ames connects the Cordoba Initiative behind the mosque to R. Leslie Deak, a "business consultant" for Patriot Defense Group, apparently a CIA front company. One of the company's "strategic advisers" is a former deputy director for operations at the CIA who "managed the CIA's globally deployed personnel and nearly half of its multi-billion dollar budget" and "served as head of America's Clandestine Service, the CIA's operational response to the attacks of September 11, 2001." Other consultants include a former four-star general who commanded the U.S. Special Operations Command and its effort in the manufactured Global War On Terrorism. The trio is complete with the presence of a banker.
Leslie Deak's father was a former top intelligence commander during World War II for the OSS (the forerunner of the CIA) and was the founder of Deak-Perera, a foreign currency and gold dealer that was accused by a Presidential Commission on Organized Crime in 1984 of money laundering for Columbia drug cartels. The CIA is known for its connections to the worldwide illegal drug trade.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Mark Ames steers the whole affair safely into the false right-left paradigm. The Cordoba Initiative and the controversy surrounding it is designed to damage "moderates and progressives who actually view New York, and the nation as a whole, as a tolerant melting pot, and strengthening the position demagogues on both sides [and] it will almost certainly deal a setback to interfaith relations. It will also help to hobble the Democratic party. Which just might have been the point all along," writes Ames.
The Ground Zero mosque has nothing to do with sabotaging moderates or Democrats (who mostly buy into the fairy tale that Muslims hate us for our freedom). Instead, the event was designed to reinvigorate the manufactured GWOT unleashed by the CIA with its spook agency spawned terror attributed to shadowy operatives who handle an array of clueless patsies like the Christmas day fizzle pants non-bomber and the Times Square barbeque grill gas tank non-bomber. It is also no mistake the controversy unfolded in the weeks before the September 11 anniversary.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
Both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood are intelligence assets. Hamas was aided directly by Israeli intelligence as a counter balance to the PLO. The Muslim Brotherhood was long ago compromised by British intelligence. "The bottom line is that the Muslim Brotherhood's success could not have been achieved without the approval of the British ruling establishment," writes Peter D. Goodgame. The CIA was also interested in exploiting the Brotherhood. "According to CIA agent Miles Copeland, the Americans began looking for a Muslim Billy Graham around 1955… When finding or creating a Muslim Billy Graham proved elusive, the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood."

True to its title, "Capture All," the program of this year's transmediale festival in Berlin was ambitiously panoramic, with such a marathon, round-the-clock schedule that by the last day a number of attendees had come down with the same cold. Separated into the thematic tracks of Work, Play, and Life, the events revolved around the quantification of everyday activities, mass data acquisition, algorithmic sorting of information about people and the planet, and the systems of power and control implicit in all of those processes—topics in which most of the festival's target audience is well-versed.
The majority of that audience is made up of academics, artists, cultural workers, technologists, and students. This year for the first time, tickets sold out completely; on opening night the 1,035-seater auditorium was over capacity, and throughout the five-day festival, waiting lines stretched around corners. Besides lectures and panels, the schedule included a steady stream of performances and screenings as well as ongoing workshops in the cacophonous foyer—from a six-hour workshop on feminist network methodology to four days of open meetings held by the unMonastery.
A 14-person exhibition, sharing the festival's title and curated by Daphne Dragona and Robert Sakrowski, showcased reflections on "the future of algorithmic work and life" with artists like Erica Scourti, whose video Body Scan compares images of her own body with those of a Google search algorithm, and Jennifer Lyn Morone (Inc), who created a corporation out of herself to advocate for compensation for her digital labor. Any exhibition with the keyword #algorithm is also an invitation for artists to reflect on exhibition-making itself as a potentially algorithmic process. Jonas Lund, who has long dissected and replicated the gamification of art practice, created a pre-recorded audio tour called FTFY (Fixed That For You) describing (imaginary) artworks with an algorithmic mashup of words and phrases from previous transmediale press texts. A guest exhibition down the hall, "Time and Motion: Redefining working life," produced by FACT Liverpool, shifted the emphasis onto quantified labor in the context of mass production and automatization.

Windows NT Workstation is on its way to be the business desktop operating system of choice. That's the feeling I got after attending the Denver kickoff of the Windows NT 4.0 (NT4) preview tour in February. About 900 IS professionals attended this special user group event to see Frank Artale, the guy who decides what makes it into NT4, demonstrate the operating system's new and improved features. Artale highlighted the new Ul features while NT4 was multitasking with several disk-intensive tasks, showing NT has both beauty and muscle. The next day, Artale wrote, "It reminded me of when we kicked off Wm3.1. The excitement of the crowd was extreme." Microsoft didn't buy this excitement: It grew from champions of Windows NT.
As our cover story explains, the bulk of NT4-the Win95 interface, TAPI, Unimodem, the Internet Explorer, Exchange client and more-affects Windows NT Workstation. However, Windows NT Server 4.0 includes Internet Information Server, a built-in WWW, FTP, and gopher server in one package. Microsoft's Internet strategy is simple: Increase market share by giving away everything that Netscape will charge you for.
Face it, Windows 3.x and DOS's days are numbered. Most software vendors have stopped all development on these operating systems and have turned their focus to Wm95 and NT. Corporations face a certain upgrade decision in 1996. Microsoft recommends that all new hardware purchases be capable of running Windows NT Workstation and be included on the NT Hardware Compatibility list (HCL) (http://www.microsoft.com/NTWorkstation/NTWN9503.htm). Regardless of your operating system choice, your minimum new purchase configuration should include a fast computer with at least 16MB of RAM.
What about your future software purchases? We've found less than 500/o of the Windows 95 logo applications are compatible with NT. Around the launch of Windows 95, Microsoft relaxed the NT-compatibility standard, allowing for "architectural differences' An increasing number of you have written me and complained about this problem, saying that you can't trust the Win95 logo. Neither can we. The damage has been done, and I don't think Microsoft can fix it. As NT users, we want to buy software that has a "Windows NT: Ready to Run" logo on it. Knowing that Windows 95 will eventually be positioned as a home operating system, it bothers me to run anything that has a 95 at the end of it. To add insult to injury, Office for NT ran on RISC platforms, while Office 95 does not I'm not saying Windows 95 is bad-I use it at home, which is where it belongs.
What about OS/2? Edwin Black, editor-in-chief of OS/2 Professional says, "The days of IBM using Warp as its exciting vanguard are over. Big Blue and Big Lou are moving on to other things. This probably means a lot to your company as managers may soon have to make some turning point decisions about whether to stick with Warp or transition to NT (as many are)."
Microsoft has clearly won the battle for the desktop: Windows NT Workstation for business, Win95 for home.

Speciation of natural Nanoparticles
Field-flow-fractionation online with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for the characterisation of natural nano particles in environmental samples
The combination of size separation of natural nano particles by field flow fractionation (FFF) developed at IBG-3 with element selective detection using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) at ZEA-3 enables the quantification of particle bound metal contents depending on particle size.
This project is currently mainly focussing on the binding of phosphorus to humic acids and clay minerals in water samples and soil extracts in order to better understand the speciation and transport processes of phosphorus as an important essential element in ecosystems and agricultural fields.
Due to the high sensitivity and the capability for multielement detection of transient signals ICP-MS is a powerful complementary detection technique to UV-Vis and lightscattering for FFF separation of particles in the size range from few nanometers (humic acids) to several hundreds of nanometers (clay minerals / Al-Fe-Si-containing particles).

Juvenile Boot Camps
are juvenile boot camps? Juvenile boot camps
are correctional programs for delinquent youth in a military-style
environment. These programs typically emphasize discipline
and physical conditioning and were developed as a rigorous
alternative to longer terms of confinement in juvenile
correctional facilities. Many, but not all, of these programs
are followed by a period of probation or some form of
aftercare. Boot camps are generally restricted to non-violent
or first-time offenders.
The idea of "shock incarceration"
as a tough, low-cost alternative to more intensive
programming brought about the establishment of military-style
boot camps for troubled teens.
Boot Camps Effective?
Experts agree that a confrontational approach is not appropriate.
Most correctional and military experts agree that a confrontational
model, employing tactics of intimidation and humiliation,
is counterproductive for most youth in the juvenile justice
system. The use of this kind of model has led to disturbing
incidents of abuse. For youth with emotional, behavioral,
or learning problems-degrading tactics may be particularly
inappropriate and potentially damaging. The bullying style
and aggressive interactions that characterize the boot
camp environment fail to model the pro-social behavior
and development of empathy that these youth really need
to learn.
Positive changes demonstrated while in the boot
camp may not last when a youth returns to his community.
Many juveniles report that the program is helpful to them
and they feel more positive about their futures. It is
unclear, however, whether these attitudinal changes persist
after youth leave the boot camp, or whether they are related
to actual changes in behavior once a youth returns to
his community. Without significant therapeutic intervention
while in the program, as well as specialized aftercare
following release, boot camp programs have been consistently
unsuccessful in "changing" juveniles.
What are the alternatives?
Youth who need some form of treatment care require an
individualized approach that takes their strengths and
needs into account. Programs and policies should be family-centered,
including the family in all decision making about a child,
as well as culturally and developmentally appropriate.
Research has shown that small, family-centered programs
are more effective than boot camps in the long term.

can discuss the best course of action for your child.

Conditions InDepth: Panic Disorder
Main Page | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | ]]>Screening]]> | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Living With Panic Disorder]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety disorder characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear. The fear is accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. These sensations often mimic symptoms of a ]]>heart attack]]> or other life-threatening medical conditions.
Many people with panic disorder also experience feelings of ]]>anxiety]]> between episodes of panic. It is not unusual for a person with panic disorder to develop phobias about places or situations where panic attacks have occurred, such as in supermarkets or other everyday situations. As the frequency of panic attacks increases, the person often begins to avoid situations where they fear another attack may occur or where help would not be immediately available. This avoidance may eventually develop into ]]>agoraphobia]]> , an inability to go beyond known and safe surroundings because of intense fear and anxiety.
Heredity and other biologic factors, stressful life events, and thinking in a way that exaggerates normal bodily reactions are all believed to play a role in the onset of panic disorder. The exact causes of panic disorder are unknown and are the subject of intense scientific investigation.
About 6 million American adults have panic disorder. Women are twice as likely as men to develop panic disorder. Panic disorder typically strikes in the late teen years or young adulthood. Roughly half of all people who have panic disorder develop the condition before age 24.
Panic disorder can coexist with other disorders, most often depression and substance abuse. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment of other disorders, such as substance abuse or depression, are important to successfully treat panic disorder.

Consensus, or Progress?
January 18, 2011
For our #LeadershipChat discussion tonight on Twitter, we're going to have a first – a guest author. Russell Bishop wrote Workarounds that Work (subtitle: How to Conquer Anything that Stands in Your Way at Work) – a guide to help leaders get things done in the complex work environment faced by many of us.
We're going to work through several themes contained in the book, but one chapter in particular stood out to me, called Moving Beyond Consensus. In it, Russell discusses how an over-emphasis on gaining group consensus (or its close cousin, overall buy-in) can paralyze decision-making and inhibit progress.
Words like consensus, buy-in, and unanimity sound good on the idealistic level. But in the real world, such goals are rarely achieved. So, now what?
Helpfully, he outlines a workaround by detailing three levels of personnel and their role in decision-making:
- Who has the ultimate authority to decide something
- Who has the right to be consulted prior to a decision's being made
- Who has the right to be informed of any decisions
I like this structure, especially when these lines are clearly drawn up front. And, as Russell writes later in the chapter, when a decision is put in place and progress is being made, those who were are at first skeptical – not fully bought-in – will often jump on board as the direction takes shape.
This lesson has been reinforced in a book I've been reading about the leadership of General Ulysses Grant during the Civil War (thanks for the recommendation, Anthony Iannarino!) He was successful in battle because of his decisiveness – he valued progress over unanimous agreement, action over too-much-analysis. Grant's fellow officers didn't always agree with the final decision, but having voiced their viewpoints, they'd go forward with the chosen direction and carry the battle forward.
How have you seen this play out in your work history? Are you seeing a good balance between consensus and decisiveness, or is the boat capsizing on the side of either paralysis, or autocratic fiat? Join us for an enlightening discussion on #LeadershipChat tonight! And be sure, in preparation, to read my co-host Lisa Petrilli's introductory blog post on our topic, Shift Your Thinking for Business (and Life) Transformation.

Will Bruin and the Houston Dynamo sent a warning shot to any doubters on Saturday night, opening the 2014 season by routing the New England Revolution 4-0 at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Bruin scored two goals and assisted on Boniek García's first of the season within the first half hour to put the game away early as New England's defense got off to a calamitous start. Omar Cummings deflected a teammate's shot in stoppage time to give Houston a 4-0, the third straight year the Dynamo have opened with a shutout.
It took Bruin just 64 seconds to give Houston the lead. After redirecting the ball to the right wing, Kofi Sarkodie sent the ball back to the 6-foot-2 forward. With Revolution centerback Jose Goncalves lunging for the ball and missing, Bruin was left alone to settle and strike a half volley across goal for his 2014 opener.
Just 12 minutes later Bruin struck again and it was another New England mistake that opened the door. Scott Caldwell played a lazy ball wide that the opportunistic Corey Ashe picked off to ignite a quick attack. The left back sent an arching to the back post for Bruin, who was wide open again, and finished with a sliding effort to make it 2-0 after just 13 minutes.
To complete the first-half Dynamo trifecta, Bruin switched roles, charging up the field while shrugging off two Revs defenders to set up García in the box. The Honduran made no mistake with his finish to make it a 3-0 rout heading into halftime.
The Revs, who struck the post before the break on a set-piece header by A.J. Soares, had a great look in the 60th minute when Diego Fagundez played Kelyn Rowe in front of goal with a cheeky flick, but the effort was for nothing as the central midfielder's half volley was skied over goal. New England second-half sub Jerry Bengtson did the same just seven minutes later, except his shot came from point-blank range.
With the Revs bringing on another attacker in Saer Sene, spaces opened up for Houston and if not for goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, the victory would have resembled a tennis score. Shuttleworth stopped Bruin and Omar Cummings in separate 1-v-1 opportunities, while diving to stop a curling shot by Andrew Driver, who came on for an injured Tony Cascio.
There was nothing Shuttleworth could do in stoppage time when Ricardo Clark's arching shot deflected off Cummings head for the final tally.
The Dynamo stay home next week to play 2013 playoff opponent, the Montreal Impact, while New England travel back to the Northeast to visit the Philadelphia Union.

Charlie Harris is a librarian and an intelligent amateur sleuth. But author Miranda James is even smarter. James knows the real reason readers love the Cat in the Stacks mysteries is because we love Diesel, the Maine Coon cat in the books. In the latest book, File M for Murder, Diesel has a much larger role, and fans will be happy.
The appearance of Charlie's daughter, Laura, in Athena, Mississippi, was a joyful surprise. She and her brother, Sean, had kept it a secret that she was coming to teach drama for a semester at Athena College. Charlie couldn't have been happier, until he learned it was an old boyfriend, playwright Connor Lawton who pulled strings to get her the job. The few times Charlie and Diesel met the man, they had been repelled by his rudeness and unpleasant nature.
When Sean brought a defaced photo of Laura to Charlie's attention, he was outraged, but she laughed it off, saying it was a jealous actress who hung on to Connor. But, Connor's behavior toward Laura wasn't a laughing matter. And, none of the family had reasons to laugh when Connor was found dead, and Laura was the one who found him. Naturally, a former girlfriend would be on the top of the suspect list.
Laura's hiding something, but Charlie, Sean, and Diesel team up again to protect her. It's going to take Charlie's research skills, and Laura's knowledge of the victim, to uncover the truth.
File M for Murder is only the third book in this delightful series, but Charlie Harris and Diesel continue to grow and become even more attractive as characters and sleuths. Diesel's personality has blossomed. He chirps and warbles, demands treats, hides his treasures. He remains a cat, one who understands emotions, feelings, and knows when something is wrong. He's an essential part of Charlie's life, and a vital element in the charm of these books.
In the first book, Charlie was a lonely figure, a widower, not close to either of his children. By the third book, he's a father, a landlord, and a cat owner, filled with joy, surrounded by family and friends. And, he's an intelligent amateur sleuth, who does his research, and realizes he's getting too involved in cases. "I decided it was the librarian in me, the part that always wanted to help people find the information they needed. I wasn't a busybody, surely." Charlie Harris is smart enough to dig for answers, and then turn those answers over to Chief Deputy Kanesha Berry. My kind of sleuth, one who can even laugh with others that this isn't an episode from a TV show in which the suspects are all brought together, and the amateur detective endangers himself. Charlie was very much aware of the danger to his family, and he did everything he could to prevent it.
Readers who want an intelligent amateur sleuth with a loveable sidekick won't go wrong if they pick up Miranda James' Cat in the Stacks mysteries. File M for Murder should be filed under "E" for entertaining.

Location and Construction of the Camp
The small village of Sobibor is near the present-day eastern border of Poland, about three miles west of the Bug (Buh) River and five miles south of Wlodawa. During the German occupation of Poland, this area was in the Lublin District of the Generalgouvernement (that part of German-occupied Poland not directly annexed to Germany, attached to German East Prussia or incorporated into the German-occupied Soviet Union).
German SS and police authorities constructed Sobibor in the spring of 1942 as the second killing center within the framework of Operation Reinhard, the plan implemented by the SS and Police Leader in Lublin to murder the Jews of the Generalgouvernement. It was built along the Chelm-Wlodawa railway line, in a wooded, swampy, and thinly populated region. At its largest extension, the camp covered a rectangular area of 1,312 by 1,969 feet. Branches woven into the barbed-wire fence and trees planted around the perimeter camouflaged the site. The entire camp was surrounded by a minefield 50 feet wide.
The authorities at the Sobibor killing center consisted of a small staff of German SS and police officials (between 20 and 30) and a police auxiliary guard unit of between 90 and 120 men, all of whom were either former Soviet prisoners of war of various nationalities or Ukrainian and Polish civilians selected or recruited for this purpose. All members of the guard unit were trained at a special facility of the SS and Police Leader in Lublin, the Trawniki training camp. Commandants of the Sobibor killing center were SS First Lieutenant Franz Stangl from April until August 1942 and SS Captain Franz Reichleitner from August 1942 until November 1943.
Killing Process
The Sobibor killing center was divided into three parts: an administration area, a reception area, and a killing area. The administration area included camp offices, housing for the German and Trawniki-trained guards assigned to the camp, and barracks for the prisoner labor force. The reception area held the railway siding, ramp, barracks where the victims undressed, and warehouses for the victims' possessions. The killing area included gas chambers, mass graves, and barracks for prisoners assigned to forced labor. A narrow enclosed path called the "tube" connected the reception and killing areas.
After some experimentation, the camp authorities began regular gassing operations in May 1942. Trains of 40 to 60 freight cars arrived at the Sobibor railway station. Twenty cars at a time entered the reception area, where the camp guards ordered victims out of the trains and onto the platform. German SS and police officials announced that the deportees had arrived at a transit camp and were to hand over all valuables. The Germans ordered the Jews into the barracks and forced them to undress and run through the "tube," which led directly into gas chambers deceptively labeled as showers. The women's hair was shorn in a special barracks inside the "tube." Once the gas chamber doors were sealed, in an adjacent room guards started an engine which piped carbon monoxide into the gas chambers, killing all those inside. The process was repeated with the next freight cars.
Members of the Sonderkommandos (special detachments)—groups of prisoners selected to remain alive as forced laborers-worked in the killing area. They removed bodies from the gas chambers and buried the victims in mass graves. Other prisoners selected for temporary survival worked in the administration-reception area, facilitating detraining, disrobing, relinquishment of valuables and movement into the "tube" of new arrivals. They also sorted the possessions of the murdered victims in preparation for transport to Germany, and were responsible for cleaning out freight cars for the next deportation. German SS and police personnel and the Trawniki-trained guards periodically murdered the members of these detachments of Jewish laborers, and replaced them with persons selected from newly arriving transports.
In the autumn of 1942, on orders from Lublin, German SS and police personnel, using Jewish forced laborers selected from arriving transports, began to exhume the mass graves at Sobibor and to burn the bodies on open-air "ovens" made from rail track. The Germans also utilized a machine to crush bone fragments into powder. These efforts aimed at obliterating all traces of mass murder.
Deportations to Sobibor
German SS and police officials conducted deportations to Sobibor between May 1942 and the fall of 1943. Between late July and September 1942, deportations by train to Sobibor from points south were suspended while repairs were made on the Chelm-Lublin railway.
German SS and Police officials deported Jews to Sobibor primarily from the ghettos of the northern and eastern regions of Lublin District in the Government General. The Germans also deported Jews to Sobibor from German-occupied Soviet territory, Germany itself, Austria, Slovakia, Bohemia and Moravia, the Netherlands, and France. In all, the Germans and their auxiliaries killed at least 170,000 people at Sobibor.
Sobered by both the sense that killing operations in the facility were winding down and information that Belzec had been dismantled and all surviving prisoners liquidated, prisoners at Sobibor organized a resistance group in the late spring of 1943. After considering several options for escape and augmented in numbers and military training skills by the arrival of a number of former Soviet-Jewish prisoners of war from the Minsk ghetto in late September, the prisoners opted for an uprising, following the liquidation of key German camp officials. On October 14, 1943, with approximately 600 prisoners left in the camp, those who knew the plan for the uprising initiated the operation. The prisoners succeeded in killing nearly a dozen German personnel and Trawniki-trained guards. Around 300 prisoners succeeded in breaking out of the killing center that day; around 100 were caught in the dragnet that following and more than half of the remaining survivors did not live to see the end of the war.
Dismantling of the Camp
After the revolt, the Germans and the Trawniki-trained guards dismantled the killing center and shot the Jewish prisoners who had not escaped during the uprising. Pursuant to discussions in the SS hierarchy in the summer of 1943, the Germans had intended to transform the facility first into a holding pen for women and children deported west from occupied Belarus after their fathers and husbands had been murdered in so-called anti-partisan operations, and later, into an ammunition supply depot. Although there is no information that new prisoners ever arrived in Sobibor after the murder of remaining Jewish prisoners in November 1943, a small Trawniki-trained guard detachment remained at the former killing center through at least the end of March 1944.
Sobibor perpetrator collection
For decades there were only two known photographs from the Sobibor killing center in operation. In 2020, the Holocaust Museum acquired more than 50 previously unknown images from Sobibor that had been the property of camp deputy commandant Johann Niemann. These photos, part of a larger collection donated by Niemann's descendants, provide never-before-seen views of the killing center, including photos of barracks buildings, workshops, and SS and Ukrainian guards.
Some of the images depict Sobibor personnel laughing and posing for vanity shots all while implementing the mass murder of at least 170,000 innocent Jews. Niemann was killed during the Sobibor prisoner revolt on October 14, 1943, after which the camp was closed and demolished.
Glossary Terms
Series: Killing Centers
Critical Thinking Questions
- Where were camps located?
- To what degree was the German population and the local Polish community aware of Sobibor, its purpose, and the conditions within? How would you begin to research this question?
- Did the outside world have any knowledge about the killing centers? If so, what actions were taken by other countries and their officials?
- What choices do countries have to prevent, mediate, or end the mistreatment of imprisoned civilians in other nations?
- How does the example of this camp demonstrate the complexity and the systematic nature of the German efforts to abuse and kill the Jews?
- How can recently found documents and images affect our understanding of historical events, including the Holocaust?

Also jarring is the drop in graphics quality, especially for those watching on HDTVs; as soon as the cartoons disappear, "jaggies" pop up everywhere (though they're not as pronounced as they are in many other Wii games), and the objects and landscapes aren't very detailed. Nothing is so bad as to ruin the experience, and the water and explosion effects are decent, though.
The plot is that Crash's friends Coco and Crunch have bought masks that were widely marketed as gadgets that could do everything from text message to make French fries. In reality, the masks were a product of Doctor Neo Cortex, who uses them to control minds via "bad mojo." Crash has to fight his way through all sorts of terrain, controlling all sorts of monsters, to defeat the doctor and foil the plan.
It's mainly the cartoons that advance this story, but there's also a lot of voiceover work during gameplay. Aku Aku, a talking wooden mask, gives you guidance through some of the harder techniques and puzzles, and combined, the characters have some 8,500 lines of dialogue. Thanks to the mostly high quality of the writing and acting, it's always at least mildly amusing to play this game, presuming you don't mind losing yourself in a kids' tale.
These little pleasures make it relatively painless to play this game for extended periods of time, and even make it worth putting up with the repetitive and sometimes annoying music. It takes about eight hours to win on the medium ("Tricky") difficulty setting, not counting the side missions and the plenty of quirks you can unearth. (If you set the controller down for long enough, for example, Crash might start making fart noises with his hand and armpit.)
The save system is another function that makes Mind Over Mutant such a joy to play, and here's where it takes cues from Halo. In that classic first-person shooter, you hit checkpoints frequently, and, as a result, never have to beat the same parts over and over again. Mind Over Mutant uses a similar system: there are plenty of (invisible) checkpoints, and so long as you don't turn the console off, you always return to the last one when you die. You have unlimited lives. In addition, save points are sprinkled liberally throughout the world, rarely more than a few checkpoints away. When it's time to put the game down, it's almost always possible to reach a save point quickly. Some puzzles and bosses are plenty challenging, but whenever you fail, you get to start right at that puzzle or boss again.
One last note: throughout the game, a series of mostly forgivable annoyances pop up. The most egregious is the camera, which can't be adjusted and occasionally makes various tasks, especially jumping ones, harder than they need to be. Another problem is that there's no way to warp between the various locations, so you spend a lot of your time backtracking. (These two problems are even worse than the sum of their badness: when backtracking, the camera doesn't switch to stay behind Crash, so sometimes you have to move toward the bottom of the screen, and can run into enemies you couldn't even see a split second ago.) Invisible walls, while necessary in a world as open as this game's, are overused. Also, whereas most games just display a pop-up indicator when your Wii-mote batteries start running low, this one pauses and makes you push A to continue. Since the warnings start coming long before the batteries actually go dead, this is completely unnecessary, not to mention infuriating when it happens during careful jumps.
Set these complaints aside, though, because the Wii is starving for good games. Nintendo's own output has been fantastic, but there's only so much Mario Kart Wii and Twilight Princess most gamers can stomach. Crash: Mind Over Mutant is a worthy contribution to the console's library and a good purchase.

One expects beer at a brewpub to be a bit ingenious. To be sure, the menu at Ale Asylum depends on tried-and-true bar snacks like apps, sandwiches and pizza. But like the beer, the food flaunts fancy. Chips with audacious homemade salsa, goat cheese in a namesake salad that's panko-breaded and pan-fried, and a ham and Havarti sandwich piled high and slathered with aioli. Extraordinarily, vegetarian options abound. But it would be impossible to overlook the exceptional beer: four year-round house brews and another half dozen seasonal specials available on tap and in bottles, as well some taproom exclusives.

A judge is refusing to halt gay marriages in Denver.
District Court Judge C. Scott Crabtree on Monday rejected a request by Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to stop Denver's clerk from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. The Denver clerk took the action late last week after another judge had allowed Boulder's clerk to continue issuing same sex marriage licenses there.
Crabtree had ruled in a separate case last week that Colorado's voter-approved gay marriage ban is unconstitutional. But he put his ruling on hold pending appeal. Suthers argued that Denver's actions effectively violated that hold. But Crabtree ruled Monday that he did not have a reason to stop the Denver licenses.

Fred Manning Cersey
Fred Manning Cersey was a son of Manning Andrew Cersey and Lula M. Goodin, of Ray City, GA. He was born November 27, 1923, just three weeks after the death of his older brother Jewel Cersey (1916- November 7, 1923). Fred M. Cersey was a grandson of Henry Thomas Cersey and Missouri "Louannie" Whitely. His grandfather was a primitive Baptist and a member of the New Ramah Primitive Baptist Church at Ray City, GA.
Fred's father did not have a farm of his own. As a young man, his father rented and worked as a farm laborer. In 1917, he was working as a farm laborer for Thomas Futch. In the 1920s, Fred's father was one of the sawmill fireman at the big Clements Sawmill at Ray City, GA on the line of the Georgia and Florida Railroad. The Cersey family lived in the company settlement in a rented home. Another fireman at the sawmill plant was J. D. Melvin.
In the 1930 Census, Fred lived in Militia District 1157, Berrien County, GA with his father Manning Cersey (42), mother Lula Goodin Cersey (35), and siblings Clinton (17), Pauline (10), and Clifford (2 1/2). His father was then self-employed as a farmer.
Fred Cersey was educated through the 4th grade, and afterwards went to work as a cook. By 1835, the Cerseys were living in the lower 10th district of Berrien County, GA on the Lakeland and Willacoochee Road. Fred was enumerated in his parents' household there in 1940.
By 1941, Fred had moved to Jacksonville, FL where he was working for Swift & Co. as a "refiner." Swift and Co. was a long-running American meat processing company. The company was a national brand emerging out of the Chicago meat packing industry.

I thoroughly enjoyed this recent WIRED article entitled 7 Essential Skills You Didn't Learn in College. Among them:
Statistical literacy-the ability to critically interpret presented statistics and sniff out the actual useful information to separate it from the nonsense.
Applied cognition-the ability to evaluate your methods of thinking and processing information and seek out and apply improved methods.
Writing for new forms-the ability to communicate nuanced thought in fewer words (think Twitter's 140 character limit, for example).
Domestic tech-the ability to make things and repair things at home, from cooking to home repair.
(I particularly liked that last one.)
This article was yet another reminder to me that most of the skills that a person uses in a financially, professionally, and personally successful life are developed outside of a classroom.
In the past, I've written about the value of transferable skills, but I thought I'd expand on that by offering up ten more essential skills that aren't typically taught in college and how you can learn them in your own life.
Money Management 101
How to keep out of debt and spend less than you earn
If more Americans had these simple lessons as part of their life, there would never have been a housing crisis and the economic downturn of 2008 would have been far softer. The fundamental key to money management is to simply spend less than you earn every single month. Part of that involves not overcommitting yourself to future bills – in other words, get sensible mortgages and avoid other debts. It also means learning how to resist the temptation to have all of the material stuff that other people have.
Idea Organization 101
How to organize many ideas to tell a single coherent story
I receive many emails that consist of just a long glob of text with lots of facts and ideas spread throughout. Unfortunately, without a lot of work, those emails are incomprehensible. Using basic strategies for organizing your ideas can make a huge difference in terms of the recipient understanding you and effectively handling your wishes. Key strategies include sticking to only one fact per paragraph, listing all of the facts you want to convey before you start writing, and putting yourself in the shoes of the person receiving the message.
Persuasion 101
How to convince others of your ideas – and understand how others convince you
You don't persuade others by merely being right on your own terms. You persuade others by making your case clear on their terms. One big part of this is to simply use honey rather than vinegar. Be kind and understanding and leave being judgmental by the wayside.
Personal Growth 101
How to consistently evaluate and improve yourself in every dimension of life
We all succeed in some areas and fail in others. Almost every situation in our lives offers some room for improvement, if only we're willing to see it and take it. Personal growth requires a willingness to look at our own faults and mistakes and ask ourselves constantly what we can do to improve on those faults in every area of life. It requires that we accept that we're not perfect and that we can always improve. It also requires us to take action to improve those faults.
Time Management 101
How to organize your time – without over-organizing it
At one extreme, we have people who do no time management at all and seem to just stumble onto whatever task comes next. At the other extreme, some people have every element of their day scheduled down to the five minute mark. There's a happy, healthy medium that allows freedom while still giving enough structure to make sure we get done the things we need to do. The first step is to keep a calendar. Another step is to constantly keep a "to-do" list going – and constantly add to it as ideas come into our head, writing them down instead of just trying to remember them.
Goal Setting 101
How to set reachable, manageable goals
Goals enable us to work towards something instead of just struggling in a random direction without any real forward motion. A good goal not only specifies where we're going, but makes it very clear when we've reached our goal as well as providing milestones for getting there. Try setting a goal that involves a number so that you can clearly track your progress along the way and can see the impact of your daily choices as you go.
Focus 101
How to eliminate distractions and put your attention on a single matter
How many of you have another web browser or another tab open right now? Is your cell phone on? How about a Twitter client or Facebook? All of these things are distractions that can easily pull you away from whatever task you happen to be working on at the moment.
Public Discourse 101
How to discuss issues without resorting to name-calling
The public arena is filled with incredible viciousness, with people on both sides hurling such hateful terminology at people who merely disagree with them on an issue or two. Discussion and public policy can't move forward in that state. If more people adopted a more sensible form of public discourse, we could find middle grounds that allow society to move forward. Share the positives of your ideas, not the negatives of other ideas. Don't resort to name-calling. When criticized, don't respond with more criticism. Listen (and by that, I don't mean just wait until your turn to talk).
Marketing Interpretation 101
How to understand how marketing manipulates you in every avenue of life
From politics to what gadgets you want, from the shows you choose to watch to the food you buy at the supermarket, marketing plays a role. The simple ability to figure out what ideas in your head and what ideas spoken by others are actually based on facts or are based on marketing and promotion makes it much easier to cut down to the reality of things, as well as get a grip on your own personal choices and ideas.
Impulse Control 101
How to get a grip on your personal decision-making
All of us are impulsive at times, but impulsiveness can have huge personal and financial costs. The more control you have over your own impulsiveness (including the ability to know when to allow yourself to be impulsive), the more control you have over your finances and your ability to interact positively with the world around you. The easiest tactic is to simply apply a five second rule to each significant decision you make in a day – each item you buy, each thing you agree to, and so on. Just think quickly about the pros and cons of each choice and see how that reshapes your initial impulse.

As Triple-A affiliate of the Mets, the Bisons are now aligned with one of the most recognizable franchises in all of professional sports. This is actually the second time the Mets have been the parent club of the Herd. From 1963-1965, the Bisons served as the first ever Triple-A affiliate of New York. Those Bisons teams included such players as Ed Kranepool, Cleon Jones and Bud Harrelson who went on to help the Amazin' Mets win a 1969 World Series Championship.
The mascot of the Mets, Mr. Met, will be on hand for Opening Day to help usher in the Bisons new era as Triple-A affiliate of New York.
New Logo, Uniforms and ColorsWith a new affiliate comes a new look. This off-season, the Bison introduced a Dynamic New Logo. The design features the New York Mets' blue and orange color scheme with a charging bison coming out of the Buffalo city skyline. Together, the design pays tribute to the Bisons' long-standing tradition in the Queen City as well as the team's new major league partner club. The new design will be featured on the sleeves of a new home white and road gray uniform as well as on the left chest of a new black alternate uniform.
A Refreshing Name to the Bisons' Home
The downtown ballpark is now named Coca-Cola Field, following a new 10-year naming rights agreement with Coca-Cola Bottling of Buffalo. By partnering with Coca-Cola, the Bisons' home field is now associated with one of the most recognizable brands in the world. It is the fourth name for the ballpark since it first opened in 1988. Coca-Cola was the first soda ever poured at the ballpark and have had exclusive soft drink rights at Bisons games since the 2004 season.

The department of theatre at Hope College will host two free performances of "A Show of Force" by New York actor Donnie Mather on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 17-18, at 8 p.m. in the DeWitt Center main theatre.
With their focus on issues related to war and peace, the performances are supported in part by the college's A.J. Muste Lecture Committee, and are being presented in lieu of a separate Muste Lecture this year.
The public is invited. Although admission is free, tickets will be required.
Is there such a thing as a "just" war? When should the few die for the greater good? Do we learn from the past? These questions are wrestled with by performer Donnie Mather and Director Leon Ingulsrud in "A Show of Force," an Everyman's quest for uneasy answers. Having fallen into the rabbit hole beset with these enduring questions, he examines all he has learned trying various answers on for size.
"I wanted to respond in an artistic way to what was happening in our country in our time," Mather said. He also noted, "this is not a play about 9/11. There is a larger focus here."
Mather developed the play over a number of years, constructing a script entirely of found texts of various political points of view: from the war poetry of Wilfred Owen to William Shakespeare; from the Bible to Mark Twain; from General Patton to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Mather also conducted numerous interviews with a wide range of citizens including historian Howard Zinn, Congressman Barney Frank and others.
Michelle Bombe, director of theatre at Hope, arranged for the production of "A Show of Force" to visit campus after seeing a performance at Actor's Theatre in Louisville, Ky. "This is a stunning piece of theatre which makes you think and question all our assumptions about war and humanity's history with war," she said. "We are extremely excited to have a performer of Donnie's caliber on our campus."
Mather's professional experience includes being a SITI Company Associate from 2001 to 2007, as well as the International WOW Company and the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey.
The free tickets for the performances are available at the ticket office in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse. The ticket office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890.
Ticket holders will be required to be seated 10 minutes prior to the performance. Available seats will be given to stand-by patrons 10 minutes before the performance.
"A Show of Force" is made possible by support from the Jerome Foundation through SITI, where it was developed in 2005, and Hope's production is funded by the Patrons for the Arts in addition to the A. J. Muste Lecture Committee. Additional information about the play may be obtained online by visiting www.ashowofforce.com
The Muste lecture series began in 1985 to commemorate the life and work of A.J. Muste, an alumnus of HopeCollege (1905) who became a tireless activist for the causes of peace and justice. Jane Oolmans Robinson, Muste's biographer, presented the inaugural lecture, and subsequent lectures have been given by theologians, peace activists, labor organizers and prison reformers; many of the speakers have been HopeCollege alumni.
The DeWitt Center is located at 141 E. 12th St., facing Columbia Avenue at 12th Street. The DeVos Fieldhouse is located at 222 Fairbanks Ave., between Ninth and 11th streets.

Michael Mattocks and John Prendergast, authors of Unlikely Brothers, on the banks of the Potomac River
in Washington, DC.
The Blind Side meets Push in this poignant memoir about two lives forever altered by the bonds of friendship
One may not think that Michael Mattocks and John Prendergast would have much in common. Michael grew up in a single parent household in one of DC's toughest neighborhoods surrounded by crime and violence, while John was raised in a two parent family attending the best schools in the suburbs of Philadelphia. At the age of 21, John became a "big brother" to Michael, then seven, who was homeless and living out of plastic bags. Lacking a connection with his own brother and father, John formed a unique bond with Michael the moment they met. Their "Big brother/Little brother" relationship had its share of high and low points, as the two struggled with varying degrees of violence in their own lives.
During the course of their mentoring relationship, John traveled to war zones and witnessed violence in Africa as a human rights activist, while Michael was living in a violence plagued war zone in Washington, DC. And, they both were disconnected from their fathers. But it was John's experience with his own father that would shape their brotherhood bond in a profound way as Michael fell prey to the streets.
Their story is shared in the book Unlikely Brothers, now available in paperback, that tells their tale of adventure, loss and redemption. Michael and John share their experiences together in duet, taking us on their journeys as their two lives intertwine. Inspirational and deeply moving, Unlikely Brothers beautifully showcases what an incredible impact such a mentor/mentee relationship can have. It also highlights how the education system failed Michael as a young boy, which ultimately led him into a vicious cycle that befalls many of our young black males. This book is a great read for youth, youth workers, mentors and mentees.
Today, John is cofounder of the Enough Project, an initiative to end genocide and crimes against humanity. Working for the Clinton administration, he was directly involved in a number of peace processes in Africa. He helped create the satellite sentinel project with George Clooney, wrote two books with Don Cheadle, and developed documentary films on Congo with Ryan Gosling. Michael is now a husband and father of five boys, working two jobs in order to support his family. He helps coach his sons on their football teams. Their mentoring relationship has spanned over 25 years.

This phrase is from the Godly Play® lesson about the Holy Family, written by Jerome W. Berryman. It says that the Christ Child grew up to be a man and died on the cross. That is very sad, but it is also wonderful, in an Easter kind of way. Now... he is everywhere, and in every time.
21 February 2012
