V V I J 11 HIT miJ M Fri., Mar. 31, 1989 Weber State College Vol. 49 No. 57 $1 million trust to benefit faculty By Peter Avion Asst. News Editor Weber State faculty will be the recipients of approximately S200 thousand per year, for the next five years, thanks to the establishment of the "Hemingway Faculty Trust," a gift from the Hem ing way banking family to the college. The SI million, five-year fund, established by longtime supporter Richard K. Hemingway, his wife Shirley, their children, Henry, Jane and Helen Ann, anddaughter-in-law Cathy, will be used to provide additional benefits for faculty "through financial recognition, awards and incentive programs designed to maintain and enhance the quality of instruction at WSC," according to a press release issued by Howard Noel, at the college office of news and public information. According to Don Spainhower at the college development office, who will administer the trust, the yearly allotment is interest income from an account at a local bank, established by the Hemingways for this purpose. The amount of principle is unknown, but the college will receive five disbursements of approximately S200 thousand each year. Once the total donation has equaled SI million, the interest income will revert to the Hemingway family, lie said. The college has yet to receive the first disbursement. Criteria for the awards have not been determined yet, Spainhower said, noting they would be established by President Stephen Nadauld, Dean Hurst, and Centennial Fund Drive Chairman John S. Hinckley. With the addition of the "Hemingway Faculty Trust," the Centennial Fund Drive has reached S12.8 million, just S300 thousand away from the S13.1 million goal, according to Hinckley. Hemingway , who has supported the college over the years through student scholarship funds, special project support, capital facilities, funding, and art objects received by the college, was awarded an honorary degree from the college in 1975 in recognition of his "supportive role in the State Building Board during a time of unprecedented growth and development of the school," according to Noel's release v ir.x.K i wwu i 100 YEARS 1989 Inside . . .

The recently retired coach of the Utah Jazz and current Jazz President treated a receptive audience to his trademark stand-up comedy routine, as well as a few words about the Layden philosophy on life and integrity. "Another thing that is very important is to have integrity in your own self. We are now looking for quick fixes. We take pills to get thin, we take steroids to become strong, we take drinks to relax. "Don't sell yourself short like that. Get your eyes on good books, on pretty girls, on travel, on study, on religion. All of those things are more lasting and a lot more effective." -- Frank Layden Former coach of the Utah Jazz Layden has been known as a comic without parallel among basketball figures since the Jazz moved to Utah 10 years ago, but his outlook on life has only recently become as well known among the public. Layden said he looks for two things in any person he's thinking of hiring. The first is integrity and the second is a sense of humor. "The first and most important thing we look for . . . is integrity. Integrity is more important than ability," he said. "I've always felt that players who cheated in the classroom were going to cheat on the basketball floor." "Integrity is sometimes hurting yourself, hurting your position, pushing yourself backwards because you're going to be honest" "I'm speaking of giving people an honest day's work. We have a terrible thing creeping into this country "Thank God it's Friday,' negotiating over whether we are going to have 15 minutes for a coffee break or 25." Layden said the social and moral situation in Japan is much better because the Japanese have a different attitude. "They are willing to be honest with their work ethic in Japan," he said. "They're saying is "Thank God it's Monday.'" He then talked about the importance of a sense of humor , : Oil' J1 h(r Vii'i -nn n .. . -. . n lim j'jia irf - ,i ati i if j Former Jazz Coach Frank Layden (The Signpost photo: Stacy Nezt) using the example of Richard Nixon. "Nixon was a good president. He was a great politician; he was a very bright man. But he had two flaws one, lack of integrity. The second thing was he lackeda sense of humor. I think if he'd have been able to laugh at himself, if he'd have been able to make a joke out of the situation, he would have survived that period, and he would have continued to be the president." "You can always walk a line crossing over from a sense of humor to intelligence," said Layden. Layden also referred to the society that is inducing people, especially athletes, to use drugs. "Another thing that is very important is to have integrity in your own self. We are now looking for quick fixes. We take pills to get thin, we take steroids to become strong, we take drinks to relax," he said. "Don't sell yourself short like that.

(see FRANK on page 7) Centennial volkswalk to replace 100K By Jill Titensor Managing Editor The Race of the Century, 100K team relay road race that was scheduled for May 6, WSC's Founder's Day has been cancelled. According to Dick Davis, assistant director of Alumni Relations, although the 100K has been cancelled, there will be a 10K walk to replace it. "This walk is turning into a rather exciting event," he said. There were many reasons for cancelling the 100K (62 miles) that was to begin at WSC, go up to Brigham City and return to the college. Davis said the three main reasons involved tactical, financial and apparent lack of interest from outside business, although interest shown by people on campus was encouraging. This "once in a century event" was a grand idea, Davis said. "But, it turned out to be too grand." First, he explained "the logistics of the race were overwhelming." Ten kilometers (6.2 miles) can take a while to run. Runners need resiroom facilities, and port-a-johns are expensive to rent. Safety was another factor. By the end of the race runners would be quite strung out. Davis estimated a 3-hour difference in finishing times. The Brigham City police chief told college officials it wouldn't be feasible for his department to patrol the large area. "They don't have the manpower," Davis said. Manpower played a part in interest shown by outside businesses, as well. Davis mentioned that former WSC President Rodney Brady, now president of Bonneville International, Corp., pointed out that a 10K goes beyond the recreational runner. Weber State's Presidential Challenge was started under Brady's leadership. Davis said local businesses didn't have the manpower to field those kind of runners. Also, there was a lack of major sponsors. The above reasons caused them to be concerned, as well. "They were leery of this event," Davis said. So, the WSC Young Alumni Council, who was sponsoring the race, decided to call it off before so much money had been invested that they would take a major loss. "We've got to find a replacement that will accomplish our goals," is what Davis said they were thinking. John Blaylock, a member of the Young Alumni, suggested a Volkswalk. Volkssporting evolved from running races in Germany. The events in volkssporting were designed to be noncompetitive so that everyone could be a winner. The (see WALK on page 3)

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The modern woman is becoming more and more sensitive to the need for being gentle to the environment. This goes true even with her cosmetic arsenal. Keeping this mind many cosmetic companies have reintroduced mineral makeup into the market. "Reintroduced" because mineral makeup has throughout the centuries, been used by many beautiful women to enhance their natural charms. Didn't the last Egyptian queen, Cleopatra, use it to further her infamous sexual appeal?
Since the trend first gained foothold in the '70's, mineral makeup has enjoyed a growing popularity over the last forty years. The appeal of mineral makeup is its organic and natural origins. Isn't the mineral naturally found in the environment a good deal safer than the potentially toxic synthetic ingredient? Using mineral makeup certainly has advantages but with all the marketing hype surrounding it, a good number of misconceptions have also come to light. What is true and what is fiction? What comes in between? Here are a few of the all too common but often misleading concepts about mineral makeup.
1. Mineral makeup is made only of 100% natural ingredients – Misconception
To comply with the Food and Drug Administration, all makeup products must list all ingredients used, in descending order of importance. However, the terms "natural" and "organic" are not regulated by the FDA. Many companies label their makeup products as natural or organic even if it only contains such ingredients partially. Simply look at any makeup label, mineral or otherwise, and it is easy to see that apart from natural minerals, other synthetic ingredients comprise it too.
2. Mineral makeup is mild and gentle enough to sleep in – Myth
Mineral makeup, no matter if it is 99% made of natural ingredients, is still makeup. Sleeping in any kind of makeup can clog the pores. The skin is made of living cells that need to be able to breathe. It is essential to clean your face of makeup before going to sleep to maintain the skin's health.
3. Mineral makeup heals the skin – Misconception
Mineral makeup makes no such therapeutical claims. Although it is a healthier choice for people with skin problems like acne, or sensitive skin prone to breakouts, mineral makeup has never been proven scientifically to heal such problems. It usually does not contain irritants such as fragrance and artificial coloring and can be gentler on skin than other makeup. It also does not contain the preservative paraben, which scientists have associated with breast cancer.
4. Mineral makeup is messy – Truth
Mineral makeup is great for finishing your look, giving your complexion a clean and polished finish. However, it is indeed the messiest type of makeup to apply. Mineral makeup is in loose powder form and it is easy to pepper your clothes with it. Before applying the finishing touch with mineral powder, cover your dresser table and clothes with towels or paper napkins to prevent it from falling all over.
Foundation and Makeup for Flawless Skin
The right foundation and makeup is essential for a clear, glowing complexion. Mineral or not, your makeup should enhance your features, make your skin look flawless, and add to your confidence. These are some of the mineral cosmetics if you're looking for a place to start.
- Jane Iredale's Powder-Me Dry Sunscreen is a great foundation for use in summer. It has natural dried clay with anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin.
- Almay's Wake Up Hydrating Makeup gives medium coverage without drying the skin. It contains cucumber, aloe vera and green tea extracts that refresh the skin. It is free of paraben and talc.
- La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation SPF 15, with algae extract and seaweed proteins, boasts of skin-firming and anti-aging properties.

XL Wallpaper Mural FAQs
Are RoomMates XL murals peel & stick?
No, our XL murals are prepasted, like wallpaper. The paste is activated by water, and each panel or strip is applied separately to your wall. Because of this, murals cannot be repositioned after application.
How do I apply an XL mural?
Every mural is made up of 7-10 individual strips, which makes applying the full design manageable. Each strip is numbered, and murals come with a guide that lets you know in which order to place them. Just simply cut each strip off the roll, dip it in water, and bring it to your wall. Click here to read detailed mural application instructions.
Are XL murals reusable?
No, murals are not reusable. Like wallpaper, they cannot be repositioned after application.
How do I remove an XL mural?
Just like wallpaper, as long as your walls are properly primed before application, our SureStrip™ technology makes removal a breeze. Just pick a corner and pull – the mural will come off in full strips without residue or damage.
Why do I need to "prime" my wall before putting up a mural?
Primer is a special sealant that prevents paste from being absorbed into the drywall or sheetrock. It also allows the paste on the back of your mural to "grip" the wall. Primer is important to use prior to application, as it makes future removal of your mural much easier, and also ensures that it will stick properly without curling or separating between panels.
How do I clean my mural?
If anything gets on your mural, it can be cleaned with warm water and a dab of soap. Blot at the dirt and wipe it gently away.
Can I return my mural if I don't like it?
Sure! Returns are accepted for unused and unopened XL murals within 30 days of purchase. Visit our returns page to find out how to request a return.

Rail Yards Weekends: Walking Tours of the High Line at the Rail Yards
Rail Yards Weekends: Walking Tours of the High Line at the Rail Yards
UNIQLO presents a special opportunity to explore the rail yards section of the High Line as part of the 10th Annual openhousenewyork Weekend.
Go on a self-guided walking tour of the High Line's final section, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the past, present, and future of this iconic stretch of the elevated freight rail viaduct. Currently closed to visitors, the rail yards section extends one-half mile beyond the High Line park's northern terminus, and wraps around a storage yard for Long Island Rail Road trains traveling to and from Penn Station. We've opened the rail yards to the public for openhousenewyork weekend in years past, and this year, UNIQLO has helped to extend this popular weekend of tours to two weekends and twice as many opportunities to explore.
With construction beginning on the rail yards section as early as the fall, this could be your final opportunity to see the site before it is transformed into an extension of the High Line park. Take advantage of this special opportunity to enjoy unparalleled views of the Hudson River and Midtown skyline and walk along the High Line's original rail tracks, which are still overgrown with wildflowers and grasses that took root when the freight trains stopped running in the 1980s.
We're grateful to UNIQLO for continuing to support the maintenance and operations of the High Line in the second year of their partnership with Friends of the High Line. In celebration of the partnership and the one year anniversary of the opening of their 5th Ave global flagship store, UNIQLO will be providing visitors to the Rail Yards Weekends with a gift from their innovative Heattech line. A limited number of these complimentary UNIQLO gift bags will be available for guests at the end of the tour.
Self-guided tours will take place every 30 minutes between 12:00 and 4:00 PM on Saturday, October 6; Sunday, October 7, Saturday, October 13; and Sunday, October 14. Tours are open to visitors 18 years of age or older.
The entry point for self-guided walking tours will be provided upon making a reservation.
Reservations for self-guided walking tours on Saturday, October 6 and Sunday, October 7 cost $5, and will be available through openhousenewyork beginning the morning of Thursday, September 27 at 10:00 AM. UPDATE: Self-guided tours for both Rail Yards Weekends are sold out.
Visitors interested in taking one of the self-guided tours are advised to mark their calendars; rail yards walking tours have been wildly popular in past years, and reservations have been filled in as little as one hour.
Get updates on future walking tours and other free and low-cost public programs by signing up for the High Line Email Newsletter, liking the High Line on Facebook, and following @highlinenyc on Twitter.
UNIQLO is the Presenting Sponsor of the Rail Yards Weekends in October. Rail yards programs are generously supported by the New York Community Trust—LuEsther T. Mertz Advised Fund and Greenacre Foundation.

An explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent.
For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench (Washington) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman (Wahlberg) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down.
When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the ground, the only person they can count on is the other. Unfortunately for their pursuers, when good guys spend years pretending to be bad, they pick up a few tricks along the way.

Featured Articles
2013 Guide Analysis: "Coming off acclaim for his survival drama "The Deep," Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur is re-teaming with his "Contraband" star Mark Wahlberg on this adaptation of Steven Grant's graphic novel series. "Brotherhood" creator Blake Masters penned the script for what Kormákur calls a pulpy comic adaptation with a sensibility akin to 1980s buddy action comedies like "48 Hrs" and "Lethal Weapon".
The plot sounds like a spin on "Infernal Affairs"/"The Departed" with Wahlberg as a DEA agent and Denzel Washington as a Naval Intelligence officer. Having spent months reluctantly working together as members of a narcotics syndicate, each is unaware that the other one is an undercover federal agent. A failed attempt to nab millions from the cartels sees the duo suddenly disavowed by their superiors and on the run.
James Marsden, Paula Patton, Bill Paxton, Fred Ward and Edward James Olmos also star in the film which Kormákur is currently editing and is said to clock in at just over two hours. According to his contract, the filmmaker has to deliver an R-rated movie to the studio. However, it could reportedly end up being less than that because coarse language seems to be the only issue at present - and he's not averse to cutting it.
The tone is said to be surprisingly comic, and yet not a satire. In an interview during promotion for "Flight," Washington says he's not sure how it's going to turn out. He adds: "It's either going to be a little funny or a real tragedy … I don't know what it is, all I know is we were acting stupid." Shot in Louisiana and New Mexico last summer, it is scheduled to close out next summer with hopefully a few laughs."

Overweight and Exercise
Being overweight is an important lifestyle factor related to cancer risk. There are links between obesity and the risks of breast cancer (in older women), endometrial cancer, and cancers of the kidney, colon, and esophagus. Not being physically active increases the risk of colorectal and breast cancers.
Together, obesity and physical inactivity are linked to about 30 percent of the cases of colon, endometrial, kidney, and esophageal cancers, as well as 30 percent of breast cancers in older women.
Losing weight and exercising can help reduce your risk. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, most days of the week. Exercise alone can decrease the risk of colon cancer and breast cancer. The goal should be for adults age 20 or older to keep their Body Mass Index (BMI) below 25. The BMI is a number that shows your body weight adjusted for your height.

Oh my, the flavor of this is SO good. Garlic, tomato, tart olives and feta. Mmm…the best combo ever. I love these flavors in a salad and it's a great way to have fish too, and very easy to make. Promise me you'll try it!
I love onions, so sometimes I like to cut up an onion and cook it with the potatoes and pepper, but only if I'm in the mood to hear my children's complaints. This time I wasn't.
Put a tablespoon of olive oil into a 9×13 pan and add the chopped potatoes and peppers. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and toss well. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes (depending on how big you cut the potatoes), until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Meanwhile, prep the other ingredients. Salt and pepper the fish and chop the garlic and other ingredients.
Have you ever seen this little rubber tube thing for peeling garlic? It was given to me awhile ago and I actually use it regularly. I cut the root end off the clove to make the skin easier to come off, then put the clove into the tube.
Then I just roll it back and forth with some pressure (but not too much- I'm trying not to smash the clove).
When I dump it out, the clove just falls out of the peel. I like this better than the smashing-with-the-flat-part-of-a-chef's-knife technique because the cloves don't come out, well, smashed.
Thus ends the rubber-tube-thing (amazing-rubber-garlic-peeler?) tutorial.
So here are are chopped olives, parsley, and garlic along with the crumbled feta. I like plain feta. You can find it with all sorts of herbs and such added, but I like the original. The flavor just seems purer to me.
When the potatoes are tender, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the garlic over the entire dish. Place the fish on top of the vegetables. When using thin fillets like these, I like to make "packets" out of them, folding under both of the thin ends so they don't overcook before the thicker middle part is done.
Pour the tomatoes (with juice) over the fish and vegetables evenly and sprinkle with the olives and parsley.
I forgot this in the ingredient picture. Sprinkle a tablespoon of lemon juice over the fish. Then put back in the oven for 1o minutes.
Bring back out of the oven.
I know, a lot of in-and-out of the oven but it's important not to overcook fish. Nothing worse than rubbery fish. Well maybe there are a lot of things worse, but you get the idea…
Evenly distribute the shrimp over the dish and sprinkle with feta cheese, and cook for about 5 minutes longer. The fillets should flake easily with a fork in the thickest part.
This is a great meal, folks (and good for you, too!). Be sure to serve it with a great bread (this is artisan bread) to sop up any juices, and round out the meal with a simple green salad.
Mediterranean Fish Bake
- 1-2 TB. olive oil
- 2 lbs. red or white potatoes, chopped
- 1 large red or yellow pepper, chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 large cloves garlic, chopped
- 4-8 white fish fillets
- 1/4 c. kalamata olives, chopped
- 1 14-oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1-2 TB. lemon juice
- 1 TB. flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1-2 cups cooked, shelled shrimp (optional)
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Grease a 13×9 baking dish with the olive oil. Add the potatoes and peppers to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and toss to distibute the oil and seasonings. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven.
- Scatter garlic over the vegetables. Season fish with salt and pepper and place on top of vegetables, folding any thin ends under thicker parts. Pour tomatoes over the top and distribute the olives and parsley evenly. Drizzle with lemon juice and put back into the oven for 10 minutes.
- Add the shrimp (if using) evenly to the pan and sprinkle with the feta. Return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes with a fork at the thickest part.
- Serve with a good bread to get all the juices.
Makes 6-8 servings.

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) -- Terry Connor was named temporary manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday, charged with keeping the struggling team in the Premier League.
The 49-year-old Connor will lead the club until the end of the season as an interim replacement for Mick McCarthy, who was fired last week with the team in the relegation zone with 13 matches left.
Having been part of the team's coaching staff for the past 13 years, Wolves chairman Steve Morgan said it was the correct move to make after interviewing candidates since McCarthy's departure.
"Having spoken to a number of people, we have drawn that process to a close and myself and the board are unanimous that Terry is the right man to lead the club for the remainder of the season," Morgan said. "This is a decisive step, which creates certainty, and the players are fully behind it."
Former Sunderland manager Steve Bruce and ex-West Ham manager Alan Curbishley have been interviewed, the latter then ruling himself out of the running. Brian McDermott and Gus Poyet, who both manage in England's second-tier League Championship, have also been linked with the vacancy.
Wolves are third from the bottom, two points above last-place Wigan and level on points with Blackburn. Connor's first game in charge is a trip to Newcastle on Saturday.

Is there anyplace else in the world you can eat poutine while watching a bag pipe playing Darth Vader ride a unicycle? No? We didn't think so, welcome to Portland! There are a few things a visitor must do when visiting the rainy city:
Powell's bookstore on Burnside and Broadway is the largest independent used and new bookstore in the country. It is literally a city block three stories high. Broken up into different theme colored rooms, you may depart the RED room a little blushed.
Bacon on a donut? Don't fight it, give in to the power of the Bacon Maple Bar. Or perhaps you can devour the Tex-Ass Donut in less than 2 minutes? Winners get the donut for free and the accompanying stomach ache is yours to keep as well. The only donut joint we know of that's open 24 hours and that have insanely long lines after midnight.
Portlanders love their bicycles and beer, so what better way to tour Portland's breweries than on a bike built for 12. Make a reservation in advance (of course) and while it's always fun to do things with friends, if you go alone you won't be so long. Something about biking, drinking, then biking and drinking makes fast friends fast.
For a good old fashioned drag show. Darcelle XV & Company have been entertaining audiences in all walks of life for over 37 years with Las Vegas-style cabaret revues of Glitz, Glamour and Comedy.

Series author George R. R. Martin gives a commentary for episode 9, "Blackwater," the episode he wrote, and while the commentary begins with Martin connecting events in the show with how they originated in the book, once the battle begins he goes off on a lonnnng tangent about… helmets.
Specifically, Martin wanted the main characters to be wearing helmets during the battle scenes. (Sandor Clegane, Tyrion, Stannis, and Lancel Lannister all go without helmets during the battle scene.) The author explains his reasons why (it's far more realistic, and Clegane's helmet is really cool) but also acknowledges that he knows why they aren't wearing helmets (it's a visual medium and you need to be able to see the main character's faces).
And yet…! Any time the battle scenes reappear, Martin brings up the helmet issue again. At one point he's simply repeating "no helmet, helmet, no helmet…" as the camera pans across a bunch of soldiers fighting.— The Best Stuff Revealed in the Game of Thrones Season 2 Blu-ray Set (via lyrabelacqua)
- me: this book brutally ripped out my heart and tore it to shreds then stomped it into the ground as i drowned in a sea of my tears and basked in eternal sorrow
- me: here read it
'Game of Thrones panel in Hall H will be moderated for the second year by George R.R. Martin.
The panel will include: Carolyn Strauss, executive producer of "Game of Thrones," and cast members (in alphabetical order): Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Michelle Fairley (Catelyn Stark) and Richard Madden (Robb Stark).
Executive producers David Benioff & D.B. Weiss will not be in attendance, as they are in production in Belfast, Northern Ireland.'
(Yes, the press release only has a vague idea of what "alphabetical order" is.)
"Raise your hand if you've ever felt personally victimized by George R. R. Martin…"
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang. There is something old and true in fantasy that speaks to something deep within us, to the child who dreamt that one day he would hunt the forests of the night, and feast beneath the hollow hills, and find a love to last forever somewhere south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.They can keep their heaven. When I die, I'd sooner go to Middle-Earth. — George R.R. Martin. (via kayleyhyde)

This is indeed amazing. I must admit internet is no more of stranger than we used to be in the late 2000's. From the devices to tablets to Computers or notebooks, everyone craves to be on a social media network. No wonder telecommunication companies likeOrange, Airtel or MTN have been letting their users get access to this service. So it would be fair to say most Ugandans especially elite, youths, town dwellers and few in the villages are connected on the internet.
However the issue of internet speeds still remains.
All generally said...we are good to go and crave for those speeds...The Sky is the Limit when you are connected!
I'm in online but I can't get connection properly. Md Asad Miah
Hi Lucy!
Thank you for the opportunity to present at this year's GEC. I believe we were both at this year's Google Summit at GBN, but I didn't get a chance to talk to you. I love working with Judi! Glad to hear we have so many common connections. I enjoy following you on twitter!
Dear Lucy,
I was confused simply because it is so difficult to surf and follow all the instruction! Just due to the site is always slow or busy.... But I could manage it...

Hi Lucy!
I was a member of the International Committee and moderated a session during the Global Education Conference week. I was wondering - do we get any sort of certificate for being moderators or part of the International Committee?
Thanks for your great work and for making possible this fantastic network experience,
Best regards,
Rosabel Roig
Dear Lucy
Please help as I am not able to participate in virtual sessions of the GEC. Tell me what I have to do.
