Spaulding floats trust fund payout changeBy David Taube
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | November 14,2012In order to withstand weaker stock and bond yields, a former state treasurer suggested Tuesday a possible policy change for a $30 million pot of investments that helps with hundreds of student scholarships each year and several college endowments.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding, who served as state treasurer from 2003 to 2010, said during a conference call that legislators might want to consider changing the trust funds payout structure.
Spaulding said when the state started the higher education trust fund there was $6 million in it. But now that the fund has reached $30 million, due in large part to estate tax surpluses, Spaulding suggested reducing the current 7 percent payout to 5 percent.
When the fund was created in 1999, the state included a provision that payouts could never cut into the principal. But if the payout percentage were changed, the state could pay out a new distribution total, even if theres a low return on investment and a full distribution would affect the principal, according to members of the PreKindergarten-16 Council higher education subcommittee.
The idea is that because the fund is larger now, and if the subcommittee is comfortable with how the fund can perform over time, the group might not want to worry as much if one years payout temporarily cut into the principal.
Spaulding suggested he wasnt necessarily endorsing the idea but was presenting it as an option for the subcommittee to consider. The change would require legislators to modify the statute.
Vermont Student Assistance Corp. President and CEO Don Vickers, a subcommittee member, said the idea had merit. He said after the meeting that the change could reduce volatility in the number of grants available for students.
The subcommittee discussed the issue by phone Tuesday, moving themselves closer to a decision next year about whether the fund should continue to pay out 7 percent each year.
For the last 12 years, the fund has generally paid out 7 percent annually through stock and bond returns. Despite that success, Deputy Treasurer Stephen Wisloski said simply giving out the return each year is what financial professionals call bumping along the base.
Five percent of the fund is automatically distributed each year between the University of Vermont, the Vermont State Colleges and the Vermont Student Assistance Corp., all for direct student financial assistance which cannot be offered in the form of loans. Two percent goes to UVM and the state colleges for endowments, which can support anything from building projects to additional scholarships.
But projections say for at least three years beginning in 2015, the funds endowment payout will be reduced. For the next five to seven years, forecasters expect returns will be closer to 4 percent each year.

Observations and Wonder
(by katepedley)
I want to go to Croatia, this was tagged with #Croatia and it is beautiful!
There is a verb…"is"—to be—for example: It is, I am, we are.
Learning how to read is like Learning how to be.
"I am" has no value in our world until we add an adjective She Is…Good/Bad…rich/poor…Happy/Sad.
I learn how to read myself when other people teach me my adjectives.
But Really? I just am.
I really am.
What are they saying?
I can't hear the single voice amid the chaos,
I can't hear the multitudes
when the roar of rage crashes through humanity.
—We are loathe to admit to our shared human vulnerability—
in a world without love.
Your head is intact
But your thoughts
Need you to roar
Where is your voice?
Mother, thank you for being
at the birthday party today.
Great-grandchildren's birthdays are special, and there you were.
I am amazed at how long it has been since I have last seen you.
So long in fact that I almost remembered who I am in your presence.
No problem with conflicting emotions
No problem loving my grandchildren without guilt.
We all had a happy birthday party, and it was all about
love and how many years it takes to find the truth of it,
the trust of it,
I heard winter knocking at my door this morning. Go away, I can't answer the door, I am taking a very hot shower.
Blessings are heaped upon me
They keep me warm in the cold shadows of dawn.

Image control within higher education has gone triple-X.
At the moment, officials at colleges and universities nationwide are rapidly buying domain names sporting the .xxx URL.
Administrators' primary goal with the purchases is protecting their schools' online trademarks. At the same time, the hope is that the web acquisitions will help stop sites springing up that seek to connect their schools with, ahem, sexual innuendo.
"ICM Registry has started selling .xxx domain names as a way to differentiate adult entertainment websites from other websites," The Maneater at the University of Missouri explains. "Trademarks and big companies can 'buy up' URL versions of their brands so as to avoid having a porn site registered under the same name. This pre-release buying period will help companies avoid brand mismanagement when the domain is open to the public."
For example, Duke University administrator Michael Schoenfeld told The Chronicle campus newspaper for a recent related report, "We have reserved a number of Duke-related names, things that involve Duke, things that involve Blue Devils. I don't know precisely how many we settled on, but we're looking at the most common and most intuitive uses of Duke."
Yet, as Schoenfeld simultaneously admitted to The Charlotte Observer, "The Internet is a very creative place, and I don't think anybody could possibly secure every possible combination that could ultimately be embarrassing to an individual, company or university."
Sure enough, the Chronicle piece by Gloria Lloyd confirms, "A search at buy.xxx shows that coachk.xxx and bluedevils.xxx are already claimed, though dukeuniversitybluedevils.xxx and cameroncrazies.xxx are still available."
Along with Duke and Missouri, big-name schools such as Creighton University, Iowa State University, the University of Nebraska, the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State University have also publicly confirmed purchasing related domains sporting the .xxx designation. A sampling of the URLs secured for the current $200 fee reveals a focus on scooping up those involving mascots or team names, including huskers.xxx, missouritigers.xxx, cyclones.xxx, tarheels.xxx, and wolfpack.xxx.
Who do administrators most fear will turn to the triple-X domain to satirize or harm their schools?
One junior at Washington University in St. Louis believes she has the answer. As she confessed to The Student Life, WUSTL's campus newspaper, "When I hear about the university buying porn domains, the first thing that comes to mind is [that it is to prevent] students buying them as jokes. I guess it shows how much faith they have in us."
What do you think? With these preemptive purchases, are schools acting smartly or coming across as worrywarts? And what are the more popular and creative .xxx names you envision being bought by people attempting to mock or link to your school?

The sun is always going to rise and people are always going to love killing Nazis. It's a fact, you can look it up. Because of this constant we now have another "Wolfenstein" game coming out tomorrow. In celebration Activision has taken the time to push out one more trailer before the game finally hits shelves that you can view below. The game looks to be chock full of everything we've grown to expect from a "Wolfenstein" title. Big guns, creepy undead Nazis and tons of explosions. Should be a good time!
Although the release of the "Saw: The Video Game" (Spaceballs the Flamethrower?) is months away, IGN recently posted this video preview that finally offers a little more insight into the general makeup of the game.
It's been months since I've turned on my Xbox 360 but from the looks of the newly released behind the scenes clip from "Wolfenstein" I think I might be picking up the controller again. Activision gives a pretty good overview of the game and how it's evolved, and most importantly explains to fans how they've tried to stay true to the original games. "Wolfenstein" comes out for the Xbox 360, PC, and Playstation 3 on August 4th.
Everyone and their mother is putting out a zombie game these days, and Tecmo is now jumping into the fray with "Undead Knights." Slated for an October release in Japan, it will feature pretty straightforward hack and slash gameplay as well as wacky environmental puzzles that involve using the decaying hordes to cross rivers, topple towers, etc. It's on the PSP so it looks to be about the quality of your average PS2 game, but zombie game completists will find something to love. With a trailer this enthusiastic, how could you not be just a little excited?
Though I tend to ignore the seemingly kiddish Nintendo DS, I occasionally stumble upon a little gem that makes me long for the days where I was playing "Super Mario Land 2" on my Game Boy (the BIG one) with the volume turned down in church. Last month at E3, players got their first taste of "Scribblenauts," an upcoming puzzle action game from 5th Cell and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. While on the surface it appears to be nothing more than a kid's toy, what lies beneath the surface is the making of a really, really cool game.
I've avoided the world of MMORPGS's (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games, but you know that you nerd) for quite some time, mostly because I barely have time to play games that don't require me to meet real-time goals. With World of Warcraft blowing up to the point of inviting a parody on South Park, it's safe to say that MMO's have reached far beyond their previous demographic, which included for lack of a better term, basement dwellers.
We take on lighter fare this week as we review "Ghostbusters", as well as the sequel and the recently released videogame.
With E3 off and running this week, we're getting a ton of new game announcements. We've known that Guitar Hero 5 has been in the works for a while, but we now have some information on some of the music that will be featured. Unfortunately, they didn't announce the songs specifically, but instead a giant list of bands has made its way online. This leaves me with more questions then answers though. Sure you can guess that the Queen/David Bowie song will be "Under Pressure", but what about Elton John? Will it be "Tiny Dancer" or "Benny and the Jets"? What the hell is Bob Dylan doing there?
E3 is in full gear and announcements are coming in from all angles. So far, the buzz seems to be the strongest for XBOX 360's "Project Natal," a set of technologies that allow for full voice, face, and movement detection without the use of a controller. As usual, they've compiled a cheesy "demo" to put it in Kindergarten terms that my feeble brain can understand...
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- An Alaska man who killed a Vermont couple flew to Chicago and drove off with the intent of kidnapping and murdering someone, picked the victims randomly, and broke into their home at night, tied them up, drove them to an abandoned house and killed them, authorities said Monday.
Israel Keyes, 34, apparently killed himself in a prison in Alaska where he was being held for the slaying of an 18-year-old woman abducted from a coffee kiosk in Anchorage in February. He was later arrested in Texas after using her debit card.
Authorities said Keyes also indicated he killed four others in Washington state and one person in New York state but didn't give the victims' names, authorities said. He also confessed to bank robberies in New York and Texas.
Keyes had confessed to killing Bill and Lorraine Currier, 50 and 55, of Essex, providing details about their abduction and deaths that authorities had not released to the public, officials said at news conference Monday afternoon in Burlington.
Authorities said Keyes took a gun and silencer with him when he left Alaska, intent on killing someone.
Keyes told police he broke into the Currier home on June 8, 2011, went into their bedroom, bound them with zip ties and forced them into their car, authorities said.
He then drove them to an abandoned house in Essex and tied Bill to a stool in the basement, while Lorraine Currier tried to escape, Chittenden County state's attorney T.J. Donovan said. Discovering this, Keyes ran out and tackled Lorraine, and Bill then tried to escape.
He shot Bill Currier with the gun he had stolen from the couple's home and then sexually assaulted and strangled Lorraine Currier, Donovan said, his voice breaking.
"They fought to the end," Donovan said, adding that they showed "extraordinary bravery and love for each other."
Lorraine Currier's purse was later found to be missing from the home, and authorities have said money appeared to be just a partial motive in Keyes' crimes. The Curriers did not know Keyes and did nothing to contribute, U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin said.
"By all accounts, they were friendly, peaceful, good people who encountered a force of pure evil acting at random," he said.
The house was torn down and the debris taken to a landfill. The Curriers' bodies have never been found.
Keyes told investigators he would stop talking to police if his name was released publicly in the Currier case.
Police said that after the killings, Keyes left the Curriers' car in a parking lot and drove his rental car to Maine. He then returned to Vermont and noticed the crime scene tape around the Currier home. Keyes told police he left Vermont and continued to follow the Currier case through the Vermont press.
Essex Police Lt. George Murtie, who interviewed Keyes about the Curriers' killing, described his demeanor as "very calm" with "no display of emotion."
Authorities said they may never know the full extent of Keyes' crimes because he parsed out only a little information at a time, withholding names and locations of most of his victims.
Keyes, originally from Colville, Wash., at one time was stationed at Fort Lewis and later worked on the Makah reservation.
A Facebook page was set up to track the movements of Keyes over the years.

Why would I want to use a matrix(2)? Previous explanations have stated where matrices are applied. That doesn't answer the question: what's the point of them, when surely you could just use algebraic expansions of them in the first place? It seems a strange way of representing basic algebraic expressions in a bizarre way to just to make things difficult. I've obviously missed something. Why use them? Why was this method of representing expessions devised? Why represent expessions in such an apparently unintuitive fashion?
closed as not a real question by M Turgeon, Grigory M, Austin Mohr, Simon Markett, Mark Bennet Aug 30 '12 at 22:01
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Because they're an easy way to represent linear transformations on finite dimensional vector spaces.
Matrices are useful in a number of theoretical aspects and as a computational aid.
Fixing a basis for a vector space, matrices are very convenient ways to represent linear transformations. Moreover, they are very useful for computing compositions of linear transformations (such as computing the product of matrices by the multiplying across row of the first matrix and down the column of the other matrix method).
Solving systems of linear equations are often very useful in numerous applied setting. There are many useful tricks such as row reduction to find solutions.
In a more theoretical setting, often you may want to determine if linear transformations are similar, i.e. given linear transformation $A$ and $B$ does there exists a $C$ such that $CAC^{-1} = B$. One possible way of doing this, rather than trying to find this $C$ used to conjugate, is to try to put these matrices representation into rational canonical form.
Do you really want to deal with expressions in $n^2$ variables?
By example: you have a graphs with $n$ vertices. Calculations of shortest paths (think: directions from Google Maps) and other quantities often use matrix multiplication, where the matrices represent the graph. Now. Do you want to deal with something like: $G^2$ or:
$$\begin{bmatrix} {g_{1,{1}}}^{2}+g_{1,{2}}g_{2,{1}}+g_{1,{3 }}g_{3,{1}}&g_{1,{1}}g_{1,{2}}+g_{1,{2}}g_{2,{2}}+g_{1,{3}}g_{3,{2}}&g _{1,{1}}g_{1,{3}}+g_{1,{2}}g_{2,{3}}+g_{1,{3}}g_{3,{3}} \\ g_{2,{1}}g_{1,{1}}+g_{2,{2}}g_{2,{1}}+g_{2,{3}}g_ {3,{1}}&g_{1,{2}}g_{2,{1}}+{g_{2,{2}}}^{2}+g_{2,{3}}g_{3,{2}}&g_{2,{1} }g_{1,{3}}+g_{2,{2}}g_{2,{3}}+g_{2,{3}}g_{3,{3}}\\ g _{3,{1}}g_{1,{1}}+g_{3,{2}}g_{2,{1}}+g_{3,{3}}g_{3,{1}}&g_{3,{1}}g_{1, {2}}+g_{3,{2}}g_{2,{2}}+g_{3,{3}}g_{3,{2}}&g_{1,{3}}g_{3,{1}}+g_{2,{3} }g_{3,{2}}+{g_{3,{3}}}^{2} \end{bmatrix} $$ This is just a $3\times 3$ matrix, raised to only power $2$.
You have families of $n^2$ variables related together in an obvious pattern: some sort of linearity. Do you want to ignore these properties and patterns and just deal with messy expressions of $n^2$ variables? Or, more elegantly, resort to an abstraction which replaces this mess. Moreover, matrices (considered as numbers in a system of matrices) turned out to form interesting properties: see matrix ring; not to mention vector spaces etc.

Face Lift Cost
The price for a face lift ranges from $6,000 to $25,000. Face lift cost is dependent on the locale, experience of the surgeon, and the extent of the procedure. In addition, face lift prices include much more than the surgeon's fee, which is usually $5,000-$6,000. The total cost includes facility fees, hospital fees, anesthesiologist fees, and more.
Average Face Lift Prices
The extent and type of face lift surgery will affect its cost, as well as the surgeon's experience and qualifications and the region where the surgery is performed. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery found that face lift surgery was more expensive in the New England States, followed by the mountain/Pacific states. Least expensive were the Middle Atlantic States, north central states, and south central states.
The type of facility in which the surgery is performed can also affect the cost of a face lift. Some surgeons maintain their own surgical suites or are affiliated with outpatient surgery centers; others perform surgery at a hospital, which can bump up face lift prices.
On average, however, surgeon fees for face lift surgery range from $5,000 to $6000. The total cost of the procedure ranges from $6,000 to $25,000 when facility fees, anesthesiologist fees, aftercare fees, and other face lift costs are added in.
Price by Type of Face Lift Procedure
Prices for face lift surgery vary depending on the technique used and the extent of the procedure. In general, a minor face lift will cost $5,000-$7,000, while more extensive work can approach $15,000.
Average face lift prices according to technique are as follows:
Standard face lift: $6,000-$15,000, average $8,000
Mid face lift: $4,000-$10,000, average $7,000
Lower face lift: $4,000-$10,000, average $7,000
Mini (weekend) face lift: $3,500-$6,500, average $5,000
Threadlift face lift: $2,000-$6000, average $4000
If a neck lift is performed at the same time as face lift surgery, the price usually increases by $4,000 to $7,500. In addition, eyelid surgery, brow lift surgery, facial liposuction, and microdermabrasion are often performed along with face lift, and this can increase the cost of treatment.
- Don't let your credit history stop you from looking and feeling your best. You can afford the procedure you want with low-interest, no-hassle financing through Compassionate Finance.
Many prospective cosmetic surgery patients are deterred from undergoing cosmetic enhancement because of the prices associated with plastic surgery. However, many patients don't know that numerous financing plans can make cosmetic surgery affordable. If you are considering cosmetic face lift surgery, don't let the cost of the procedure keep you from making an investment in your well-being. Many plastic surgery offices offer face lift financing plans and accept a variety of payment options.

Face Lift Payment Options
Plastic surgery offices typically accept a variety of payment options such as cash, check, and credit cards. Commonly, they also offer face lift financing plans which allow patients to set up a payment schedule that fits into their budget. For patients who cannot wait to look and feel their best, financing plans are an excellent choice. They let patients undergo face lift surgery when they want it — before they have saved up all the money to pay for it — and slowly pay off the balance. However, not all financing plans are created equal, nor do all surgeons accept all plans.
The Patient Coordinators at many plastic surgery practices are particularly familiar with financing plans and can help you choose a financing plan that suits you. Research the various plans on your own and look for those that offer features valuable to you — whether it is no upfront costs, no fees, no interest, an extended payment schedule, no prepayment penalties, or something else. Because some surgeons work with local companies that offer patient financing, you may want to speak to your surgeon for information specific to your area.
Applying for Face Lift Surgery Financing
After you learn which plans your surgeon accepts and which plans will work for you, applying for face lift financing is simple. Your surgeon may stock brochures and applications in his office, and many financing companies have online applications available on their Web sites. Care Credit and Capital One® Healthcare Finance, for example, both offer online applications that produce replies in minutes.
Locate a Facial Plastic Surgeon
For an individualized breakdown of face lift prices, it is best to speak with a surgeon in your area and discuss a specific course of treatment. To learn more about face lift cost, use DocShop to locate a face lift surgeon in your area.

Fasting For Weight Loss
Is it practical method to lose weight with fasting?
Let's face it, if you are on a mission to lose weight then you have quite possibly tried many approaches to get rid of those ugly and unwanted extra pounds. But since we're all human, we usually uncover that the regular techniques of approaching a weight reduction regimen may possibly not work for us. For probably the most component, trying to lose weight by decreasing our every day intake of calories and increasing our physical output by increasing our quantity of physical exercise just is not a "sexy" approach to lose weight.
Just about every time you turn on the television you're most likely to be bombarded with diet commercials touting the subsequent significant factor in weight reduction. All of those images make it much more difficult for us to steer clear of the "miracle" shortcuts and turn to some thing a lot more conventional for receiving our weight under control. With that understood, we must look beyond the glitzy presentations and take into consideration that we could be better served by some thing which is quite conventional for weight manage. As opposed to attempting to "melt away the pounds" using the newest diet supplement, why not attempt to lose weight fasting?
According to a study presented at an American Heart Association conference by researchers in Utah, fasting could possibly even cut down the risk of heart disease. Although there more info may well be required to validate the beneficial effects of fasting on heart health, it ought to come as no surprise that a proper strategy of meal manage could mean that the average person can lose weight fasting.
Fasting has been about for a lengthy, long time. As I stated, it is not exactly a sexy method to lose weight, but it certainly may possibly prove to be extremely effective for several people today. The fact is, no awesome supplement or miracle pill alone I know of is going to be as efficient at helping us minimize our intake of calories than merely taking control of our own diets and meal preparing and basically cutting back on the quantity of food we eat.
For some, it's challenging to cut back substantially on an individual meal basis, but they are able to have good results when they lose weight fasting by skipping meals on a pre-planned schedule. As an example, some opt for to skip a meal just about every other day instead of to lessen their overall caloric intake at all meals. Clearly it can be doable to lose weight fasting in this way, simply because for some dieters it might give them a psychological advantage more than basically consuming smaller meals at just about every meal time.
Consult your Doctor!
If you want to lose weight fasting, you'll initially desire to consult with a medical expert to ensure that your fundamental dietary wants are met and that you're losing weight in a secure and wholesome manner. By choosing to take advantage of an skilled medical opinion to assist you strategy your progress, you're going to create particular that your weight reduction program will likely be as helpful as it is usually even though protecting your overall fitness and well being. Remember that suitable nutrition is vital to a wholesome life, and producing main adjustments to your eating habits shouldn't be completed with out professional suggestions.
What is the best alternative?
Following nutrition rich healthy diet and doing some exercise is the best ways to lose weight. You should take proven supplements like Capsiplex to get more benefits from your exercise.

The law firm of Katten Muchin Rosenman will now change its name to Daley, Cheatem and Howe.
Former Mayor Richard M. Daley is now entering the most lucrative phase of a politician's career. Let's call it "dessert."
After more than 40 years of subsisting on a public servant's salary, he's finally getting a chance to "make some real money," as trading political office for a private sector job is called.
As Carol Felsenthal wrote in Chicago magazine, Daley will be working alongside one of his best buddies:
Terry Newman, 64, a partner/rainmaker at the firm…was described to me by insiders as the ultimate Daley insider: a best friend and dining buddy of the Mayor's. When the mayor attends social/city events, Newman, who is single, is almost always close at hand. I attended an Economic Club farewell tribute to Daley last February and Newman sat on the dais with such stalwarts of corporate Chicago as Lester Crown, John Bryan, Patrick Ryan, Edward Liddy, and Christopher Galvin.
Katten Muchin made a lot of money off the Daley Administration: $663,000 for negotiating the parking meter deal; $160,000 for work on the leases of the Chicago Skyway and parking garages. The firm was also a recipient of $406,000 in municipal bond work, a coveted contract. Newman is just paying Daley back for all that largesse over the years. What else are friends for?
This doesn't just happen in Illinois:
On the other hand, former Gov. George Ryan earns 12 cents an hour for his prison job.
Life after politics is lucrative, but only if you leave on the right terms.

Rackspace and HP have each brought major portions of their cloud offerings based on the OpenStack code out of beta and into general availability today.
Backers of the open source project call the moves a milestone for OpenStack that affirms the progress it has made since it began in 2010, with Rackspace now spinning up the largest deployment of an OpenStack-powered cloud to date. "This has been a big piece of work," says Rackspace CTO John Engates. "It's our biggest product to date and it represents us implementing technology that we've been developing within the OpenStack community for some time and making it available for real customer consumption."
[ Stay on top of the current state of the cloud with InfoWorld's special report, "Cloud computing in 2012." Download it today! | Also check out our "Private Cloud Deep Dive," our "Cloud Security Deep Dive," our "Cloud Storage Deep Dive," and our "Cloud Services Deep Dive." ]

New from Rackspace are Cloud Servers powered by OpenStack, a compute platform to run Linux or Windows virtual machines, and Cloud Database, a MySQL database server.
HP, meanwhile, has made its OpenStack-based Object Storage and Content Delivery Network generally available. HP will be contributing the code it used to build the CDN back to the OpenStack community for integration into the project.
Gartner analyst Lydia Leong says the news from Rackspace and HP is a landmark for the open source project. "It's the first time that anyone is running significant production workloads on OpenStack," she says. "This is kind of the big test: Does this work in production?"
Rackspace and HP are convinced it does, after running their products in large-scale test modes for the past few months. Rackspace CTO Engates says features will be added to the company's OpenStack-powered cloud services as the project's code continues to mature. For example, block storage will be added, as well as virtual networking capabilities, which will give users greater flexibility to create and deploy virtual public or private networks through APIs and a newly designed Rackspace dashboard, which was also launched today. Rackspace will be introducing those components sometime this year, Engates says.
The broader OpenStack community is working on virtual networking functionality through a project named Quantum, which has been led largely by software-defined networking company Nicira, which VMware recently purchased for $1.26 billion.

"...[I]t seemed to this author that it would be of benefit to the faithful to learn something of the holy men of the Old Testament and through their stories and experiences to gain some appreciation of the vast expanse of the four-thousand-year-long history of the struggle for sanctity, what specialists often call the Heilsgeschichte, the 'holy history,' the history of God's interaction with mankind. The need for the further presentation and elucidation of the Old Testament stories in an Orthodox Christian context was to me especially urgent since Orthodox Christians, at least those in America, are inadequately instructed in this subject and are often, therefore, the easy prey of sectarians of various stripes, who are always ready to exploit such circumstances to their own profit. That is unfortunate, even shameful, since Orthodox Christians are as much the true heirs to the legacy of the heroes of the Old Testament as they are to the legacy of the heroes of the New, and of all subsequent Christian history."
The Œcumenical Patriarchate and
the Question of Greek-Turkish
Relations Through
the Centuries
by Constantine Cavarnos
with a Foreword by Archbishop Chrysostomos
$8.95 — 104 pp.
This unique book, composed of two lectures written by Professor Cavarnos, approaches subjects, events, and matters of importance to all Orthodox Christians. So central is the image of the Œcumenical Patriarchate, the "Great Church," to the Orthodox that one brings to mind the importance of the Vatican to Latin Christianity, even if the Œcumenical Patriarch is not a Pope and the Phanar is not a political state like the Vatican. A tragic victim of the vicissitudes of history, this most ancient center of the Christian world—assailed even by one of the Papal Crusades, placing it under Latin domination for nearly sixty years—has been held captive for centuries by its Turkish masters: enslaved with Greece and the Balkans under Ottoman rule and imperiled today by its fragile status in the modern Turkish state. For an Orthodox scholar of Greek heritage to write with dispassion about the Great Church and Greek-Turkish relations is, therefore, a gargantuan task. Yet, as a paradigmatic gentleman, Dr. Cavarnos presents us with an absolutely impartial appraisal of the Œcumenical Patriarchate and of Greek-Turkish relations over the centuries.
Themes in Orthodox Patristic Psychology: Humility, Obedience, Repentance, and Love
By Archbishop Chrysostomos and others
$22.95 — 366 pp.
We are pleased to publish under the imprint of the
Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies the four volumes
of Archbishop Chrysostomos' classic series, Themes in
Orthodox Patristic Psychology, published by
various presses between 1983 and 1990. The
texts have been updated, edited, and
handsomely printed in
this single volume.
Earlier assessments of the constituent volumes in this collection:
• "Archimandrite Chrysostomos, a psychologist trained in the West, reminds us of a different tradition of thought which finds unities where most of us find dichotomies. He demonstrates how, within the tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church, these dichotomies are connected-how acceptance of Orthodox belief arises from the unity of an Orthodox way of thinking and way of living. To see this argument in all its strength and to understand how humility arises from this unity, one must read with care and with a mind free of western psychological preoccupations this challenging and provocative volume."
John M. Darley,
Dorman R. Warren Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs,
Princeton University, and former President of the American
Psychological Association (on the book Humility)
• "All who meet Father Chrysostomos must be impressed with his deep spirituality and broadmindedness, which are indeed reflected in this book. Generally, he lays great stress on tradition and moderation, both dominant traits of Orthodoxy."
Mother Alexandra (Princess Ileana of Romania),
Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration (on the same book)
• "I met my friend Archimandrite Chrysostomos when I arrived at Harvard. Since then, we have exchanged ideas about our shared wonder of the desert Fathers. In the brilliance and beauty of his scholarship and the book he is preparing on the virtue of obedience from a psychological view he gives them a clarity which will touch and transform the hearts of many."
Henri Nouwen, S.J.,
Harvard Divinity School (on the book Obedience)
• "As I have written elsewhere, Bishop Chrysostomos is one of the most significant Orthodox scholars to appear in America in recent years. This view was shared by the famous Russian Orthodox theologian Father Georges Florovsky, who characterized the Bishop's writings as 'important contributions to the body of Orthodox literature.' The book Repentance, a third volume in the series Orthodox Patristic Psychology, confirms these positive evaluations. The essays on repentance contained in this book, written by the author and one other Orthodox thinker, are accompanied by Greek Patristic texts on the subject. A masterful translator, Bishop Chrysostomos excellently renders these texts in clear and understandable English."
Constantine, Cavarnos,
President, Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies
(on the book Repentance)
• "Bishop Chrysostomos, working with Father James Thornton, has produced an outstanding study on the subject of love, the fourth and last volume of Themes in Orthodox Patristic Psychology. His Grace is a Princeton-educated scholar who brings to this and the previous volumes in his series extensive learning and a remarkable amount of reading in science, psychology, Byzantine history, and Orthodox Patristic studies. The extent of his Renaissance education and his professorial skills are evident in every page of this latest volume. ...Bishop Chrysostomos's skillfully translated apophthegms from the monks of the Egyptian desert complement the wisdom that he and Father Thornton show in their discussion of the theological and spiritual significance of love in the Orthodox tradition."
John E. Rexine,
Charles A. Dana Professor of Classics and
Dean of the Division of Humanities,

White House launches direct line to get American public opinion input
Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – The Obama administration, in its quest to tap into the American public to weigh on different subjects, launched an online program this week, according to a White House communique.
"Advise the Advisor is your direct line to President (Barack) Obama's senior advisors at the White House," read the statement defining the new feature.
The process starts with one of the members of the presidential senior staff posting "a short video to let you know what they are working on at the White House," and gives the American public "an opportunity" to provide their "advice, feedback and opinions about key issues."
"We'll read through as much of your feedback as possible and post a summary of what you had to say a few days after the video is posted," the communique further promised.
The series was kicked off by David Plouffe, senior advisor to the President, with a short video and two questions on innovation:
- How is American innovation affecting your community?
- What are the obstacles to innovation that you see in your community? And what steps can be taken to remove them?
There were immediate positive and negative reactions in the virtual world with bloggers going out in full steam to analyze the White House series.
The first concern to surface was the constraining nature of the answering form, which only allows 2,500 characters. Doubts were also raised about the role of lobby groups in Washington and how they will hijack the process in the name of the American public.
On the other hand, the innovation gurus were busy filing their "opinion" and without waiting for it to be read, filtered and posted on the White House site, the pundits were showing their ideas on different websites.

This was a work trip booked through the office and at check out they charged it all to my card left for incidentals. This was a nightmare to fix due to the day before thanksgiving and the staff person at the office that was needed had already left for vacation. The staff could have cared less. I guess they don't do govt conferences very often. I finally got things fixed after having to miss one of my classes to handle it. The room was nice but the bed skirts and comforter were stained and had not been replaced even after a note was left. I bought sheets on my own. The wifi is so slow all the time I just turned it off they have not put any money into this and it shows. Even e-mail was painfully slow. I don't see how people get any work done while staying here. Unless your sitting at the bar don't expect any assistance from the staff. Your better off helping your self and they don't mind one bit. They will not be ready or be prepared when they are suppose to be open so take your time. For the price your better off looking at other options in the area. This is sad because I have stayed here in years past and had great service. Will remove from the list of hotels at the office November 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bbbe This hotel has the most accomodating staff especially the wait staff in the restaurant at dinner time. Wait staff at night very accommodating. December 15, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Arjay Good location, handy to transport Noisiest and least efficient toilet we have ever experienced. Plus there was no lid for the toilet and the bathroom was so tiny that I managed to drown my towel in the toilet as I was drying myself after a shower! YUK! Positioning of the safe was poor limiting access. Getting normal (black) tea from Housekeeping proved difficult even though they were asked repeatedly. Room size was adequate though there was a lack of drawers for clothing and usual lack of shelves in bathroom for toiletries. Breakfast was boring and repetitive - for the 4 breakfasts we were there absolutely nothing changed on the buffet and there was no hot tomato or beans. May 5, 2013

Rated 2 out of 5 by Lindsey Bought This, Received That! Uncertain when the flickering bathroom light would burn out, completely. Not certain about the holes in the wall from a removed monitor that had once lived there; could hear through the walls of the guests next door talking entire stay; very small bathroom space and the door span only accommodates small to very small people. I like walking but finding that there was no ice on 1 of 2 floors listed, both days stay - necessitated I get dressed to walk up 2 flts of stairs or stand and wait and wait on an elevator - had some time demands to meet so it was not convenient. Walking to the nearby convention center was the only convenience I found helpful. February 18, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by tbt6 Unenjoyable Experience Showed up, checked in, walked to elevator. Flashing lights were going off (the fire indicators) but no alarm. The elevators were closed. Not sure why the person at the front desk did not tell me that I would not be able to access my room for a while, the elevators were clearly not working. I asked where the stairs were, thinking I could access my room that way. Staff did not know. Later staff informed me that they hotel was equipped only with "fire emergency stairs." That was convenient. I figured I would sit down and wait for the elevators. The couches were soaking wet, apparently children from the pool like to use them to dry off on. Now, in fairness, these two events were out of the hotels control. But, no one really seemed to care about the chaotic set of events and just kind of went about their business. I had reservations at a restaurant, so I dropped my stuff off up front rather than accessing my room. Come back to my room later (I could get in now). The walls were paper thin, and apparently a gymnastics team of high school students was staying at the hotel, and they were hollering and/or doing cartwheels most of the night (Great Valentines)! Next morning, I thought I'd grab breakfast downstairs. I asked the waiter if I could order something off the menu, rather than eat the buffet. He informed me that it would take a "really long time" because they were really just cooking stuff for the buffet. In sum, I wouldn't recommend this hotel and didn't enjoy my experience.

Rated 4 out of 5 by susiesample Friendly, helpful staff Autrey at the front desk was helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Zachary, in parking, was a pleasure. I had a lot of questions about comings and goings. He was cheerful and helpful, not to mention quick on his feet. My colleagues and I ate breakfast very early. The young lady who helped us with coffee and our bill was delightful. Just the right amount of service - with a beautiful smile. I could count the hours I was there on, well, three hands, and most of that was spent sleeping, but everyone I came in contact with was pleasant and helpful. The staff made it easy to ask questions and it was a pleasure to be there. Thank you, Mary August 9, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by politicaljumkie great stay we had a wonderful time in Ft. Worth at the Republican State Convention. I liked that the hotel is in walking distance of the convention center and the Molly the Trolly stops right in front should it be needed! Special kudos to Darla and Ester in the dining room! They were awesome! Always smiling and we never had to wait for refills of water or tea! Your Friday night BBQ buffet was excellent!! Ana was so willing to make sure my friend had her diet food exactly as needed! She came to the table and offered a special soup for her. It was delicious!! We will visit again!

Rated 2 out of 5 by sadjuly2014 disappointed Was not what I expected, Ice machine did not work vending machine did not work. shower flooded the bathroom floor, Very nice place not arranged very well, very noisy, no control on private booze parties down the hall, should isolate the party people in one area (some people come to rest) will not stay here again ( we have stayed in many hotels across the world ) as I said not a good experience period.

Rated 1 out of 5 by tinkerbell Nice Hotel- Worst service of any SPG Property Im a SPG Platinum member and travel frequently. I've stayed at this hotel before and thought the service was mediocre but this last stay was the worst. The first weekend in November I had brought my family as my husband and I were going tot he marine ball. We checked in and they had met the request of having adjoining rooms. We were happy and the rooms were clean. We were hungry after the drive. We called for room service only to get a voicemail box multiple times stating they were busy. Thirty minutes later we received a call back and was allowed to order. The food arrived within forty minutes and was decent. Im glad it was good because we had the opportunity to have the trays in our room all the way until Sunday on our check out. The maid service did not show at all on Thursday for either of our rooms. I called on Saturday night and instead of being offered a chance for them to come replace towels or do any housekeeping they said sorry we must have maid a mistake and offered no alternative. I am used to superb SPG service but to no avail. We returned from our function to the same dirty sheet and towels we had left with. The property is great if you have an event at the convention center but if you are wanting the nightlife of Sundance square then it may be more of a hike walking than you would want. The valet service is horribly slow and unfriendly. Do yourself a favor and carry your own bags. While the valet service is slow the self parking is hard to navigate if you have a SUV and can be hard to find a place to park. November 12, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tallguy26 Looks nice but needs work The outward appearance of this hotel was nice but once you get into it watch out. I will say though the staff was very nice. it is just the facility that was the problem. I had a number of issues. First you must know that I was there for a working convention so a good desk and internet was important so let me start there. The room was fairly clean but the desk which was nice an large had no power to it. It actually had plugins on top of the desk but the cord that was supposed to plug into the wall was no where near an out even the light on the desk was not plugged in. They had a little extension cord that I was able to get at least the light plugged in. The WIFI at least in my room only worked if you were standing by the door but did not work on the desk that had no power. My first morning there I took a shower I went into the shower and the shower head was only about 5' tall. When you are well over 6' tall that does not make for a very nice shower. Next the door to the room had such a gap under it, it seamed like there was a light on in the room. So every night I had to put something in front of the door to block the light. I prefer pillows with a little substance to them, these pillows were so soft and thin you needed at least 2 or 3 of them to even feel like there was something there. If you like thin pillows this would not be an issue. Lastly, the $13 dollar buffet breakfast was horrible it was worth about .50 the scrambled eggs looked like egg soup, the French toast was not completely cool and the Danishes looked and tasted like they came from the day old store.. All in all if they would get the rooms straightened out It would not be a bad hotel but until then there are much nicer hotels by the convention center. January 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeighPaul This hotel had everything I was looking for! We had a great time at the Sheraton. We were looking for a hotel with an INDOOR HEATED pool, which this hotel had... very nice! This was to make my youngest son happy. To make my oldest happy, this hotel also had FREE WIFI. And to make our dog happy, this hotel also allowed pets! And the fact that the hotel was walking distance to some great parks and restaurants made my husband and I happy. The staff were great... very professional and friendly. Even though our room wasn't available until 4, they let us use the pool as soon as we arrived (around 1). The room was clean and quiet... great weekend get-away. We will definitely return!! January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aggie95 Great hotel but needs some improvements The room was clean and the staff was more than accomodating. Shortage of working electrical outlets in the room. Great stay overall. July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BrownieLady Great location I enjoyed my stay. The downtown location is great for tourist to check out all of the nightlife in Sundance Square. July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Dee131 Great Accomodations but need some Attention Hey Guys, I enjoyed my stay with you again. The front desk staff were extra nice. Room service staff worked really hard to please but it took too long to get my burger that was cold when it go to me. It happens. I could only imagine how many people your staff were trying to serve at one time. The breakfast was phenomenal and staff as well. My restroom had a toilet tissue holder that was so loose that tissue would not stay on the roller/holder. Water would back up in the sink as I brushed my teeth. Finally some how my tv remote got lost after room was cleaned. They brought a new one when I called. I will stay with you again. Room 823 October 24, 2013

As was mentioned earlier this year, the band will get together in the studio after the summer touring session and a much needed winter break.
Cavalcade of rock stars
Bret Michaels is going big with his forthcoming solo album. The Poison front man reality TV star has put out a list of artists that collaborated with him on the project.

HD video
Remember a few weeks ago when Korn hooked up with their former guitarist Brian "Head" Welch? The video that posted online was video from some dude's cell phone as he hung out on the stage.

Formed in the 1980's by Kristin Hersh and her half-sister Tanya Donnelly, Throwing Muses became the first American band to be signed to the 4AD label in 1986. Probably their best-known album, The Real Ramona was released in 1991, spawning two minor hit singles, Counting Backwards and Not Too Soon, which characterised their moody, acoustic-ambient sound. Shortly afterwards Tanya left to join The Breeders and then Belly, but Kristin continues the Muses with her new line-up.
