"Heaven is thrilled over this"
Robert McCullough at the CNS blog has posted a video message from Pope Francis to a gathering of Pentecostal pastors in the United States. It's a wonderful message, and well worth watching. Very affecting, and well-chosen to reach his intended audience.
Here is the full description:
Pope Francis recorded a message of reconciliation and unity between the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Church for Kenneth Copeland Ministries, a group of Pentecostal Christians in the United States. Bishop Tony Palmer, a bishop from a Pentecostal Christian community, did the camera work with an iPhone. The bishop also serves as international ecumenical officer for the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a group that is not affiliated with the Anglican Communion, and which takes a much simpler view of the path to full Christian unity than the pope and the mainline Christian churches do. The translation used for the English subtitles on the video are not precise, but the pope's sincerity is clear.
The shorter clip, unfortunately, does not record the response of the gathered assembly and its leader, which follows in the longer video. In the full video, they pray for him and send a video message back to him.
You can watch it here, starting at 38:41.
"We do not know how to pray for him other than to agree with him."
The closing remark of the Pentecostal leader is priceless: "I'm tellin' you now – heaven is THRILLED over this."

Funny, I had just a few minutes ago sent an email to Commonweal about this video because I thought you would want to blog on it, then I turned back to your blog and saw it had just been put up.
It really is a beautiful video, and a fascinating context to it. Not only is the Bishop involved a fascinating person and part of a fascinating communion, but so also is Kenneth Copeland. This whole story demonstrates anew how deep the connections and friendships are between Bergoglio/Francis and the evangelical/charismatic movement. I think it is safe to say that the grassroots ecumenism of Bergoglio is being carried on in the papacy of Francis and that this is a unique phenomena in the history of the Catholic Church. Has there ever been a pope with such deep friendships and ministry partnerships with evangelical/charismatic Protestants?
Simply wonderful!
Deeply affecting. And all in seven minutes.
Gospel over Empire. Love over monarchy. One Lord. Not one dominator. So simple yet difficult because of egos and power interests. Francis. A true disiciple.
This man is just so impressive yet so simple.
"Has there ever been a pope with such deep friendships and ministry partnerships with evangelical/charismatic Protestants?"
Francis may be the first pope with on-the-ground experiences with fundamentalists/evangelicals/charismatics. Italy and Germany really don't offer the kind of contact experiences that South America do.
First the covers of TIME and Rolling Stone....Next the cover of "Christianity Today"? ;)
Astonishingly moving.It's hard to stop cryingfor the blessing this man brings to all of us. What an example of Christ's love!
"These tears will unite us." The figure of Joseph and his brothers is profoundly moving.
I agree with Bernard!!
A murmur arises from the crowd when he says God will complete the miracle of unity. The applause at the end fairly explodes.
Christianity Today is far from remiss in covering Francis: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/topics/p/pope-francis/
Randall Balmer, an editor of Christianity Today and an Episcopal priest and professor at Dartmouth, wrote this some months ago about Francis at The Christian Century ... "The Windows Pope Francis has Opened" ... http://www.christiancentury.org/blogs/archive/2013-12/popes-open-windows
Beautiful. But I'm worried the he's working too hard. Maybe he should take his reforms slower? He's only nine years younger than Benedict, and in this tape he seems to be having trouble breathing. Yes, he needs everyone's prayers. What a gift he is!
He is working on only one lung. I think the delivery had more to do with thinking about what he was saying as he was saying it. The delivery itself is prayerlike, not boilerplate sound bites. I get the feeling that it was intensely prepared but maybe not written.
And doesn't he so strongly remind of his precursor, John XXIII, who when meeting the Jews of Rome said: "Sono Giuseppe, tuo fratello." I am joseph, your brother.
Why he took the name Francis. Who mixed in with Muslims and was more concerned with loving his neighbors than checking out their dogma.
How he bares himself. How vulnerable he lets himself be, in public, to the whole world!
It was a lovely address, of course, and, like Bill, I was reminded of the candor with which Pope John 23 met people on their own ground. As my evangelical friend at work says, "He [Pope Francis] GETS it!" She was referring, of course, to the Prime Directive, "Love God and you neighbor as yourself," which many Protestants feel is obscured by Roman Catholicism, burdened (as evangelicals see it) by dogma that is not "Bible-based," by a hierarchy that requires intermediaries between man and God in the form of the sacraments (particularly confession), and by written prayers and liturgy that does not allow for the free expression of worship and direct communication with the Lord.
The evangelicals are happy that we have a Pope who says stuff they like to hear. But they aren't going to throw away their birth control any more than we're going to start letting them take Holy Communion.
Evangelicals will embrace Pope Francis as a man with a natural authority that comes through his faith. But embracing the Church? I see tears and yearning for a long time to come.
Deeply moving. Pretty incredible when you think about the all too common "Catholics are the devil" stream in evangelical circles out of which Copeland comes. So pleased Francis was willing to take this risk for unity. Pretty big risk on Copeland's end too.
Bishop Tony Palmer, the evangelical friend of Francis who recorded the video aqnd introduced it, is a bit of a mystery. He claims some connection to Anglicanism, but is clearly part of some offshoot not officially connected to the Anglican Church.
His intro is painful at times for its misunderstanding of Catholic theology on justification. He holds the common mis-belief that the Church was at one time officially Pelagian. Oh well -- this is the kind of stuff that happens when you don't have decades of meetings and just simply take a chance on shared humanity and shared belief in Jesus.
He is a bishop of The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, which is an Anglican Christian Communion, formed in 1995 largely as a result of the Convergence Movement. The CEEC converges the evangelical, charismatic, liturgical, and sacramental traditions of the Christian faith.
CEEB bishops page here: http://www.theceec.org/IHoB.html
"Over the past decade the Rt. Rev. Tony Palmer, a former director of Kenneth Copeland Ministries' South African office and co-founder of The Ark Community, an international and interdenominational community of Christians based in the United Kingdom, has been extensively involved with the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR).
In 2003, Palmer was invited by the Catholic Church to move to Europe and minister to Catholics within the CCR worldwide, as a non-Roman Catholic minister. As a result of this calling, Palmer has traveled to many countries around the world and participated in numerous meetings with leaders within the charismatic renewal.
It was during a mission to Argentina five years ago that Palmer met and soon became close friends with Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I.
"We had called on him to ask permission to minister in churches within his diocese for renewal," Palmer recalled recently of that first meeting. "Immediately, Cardinal Bergoglio shared his heart and appreciation for what we were doing, and fully embraced us and the work of the Holy Spirit in and through us—not only to Catholic people, but to all Christian denominations."
Thanks for the links Mr. Hayes. It seems pretty clear that while CEEC describes itself as an Anglican Communion, they are not "in communion" or officially part of the the Anglican Church. I mean to make no value judgment here. Just trying to understand.
That link to Kenneth Copeland Ministries is pretty revealing. The comments section is filled with quite a number of anti-Catholic screeds. Copeland certainly has gone out on a limb here.
Does anyone else find themselves wanting to know more about this 2003 invitation by the Catholic Church of which Palmer speaks? Who in the Church invited him to be a "non-Catholic minister" to charismatics? Does the Catholic Church find itself wanting in this area and feels it has to go outside to recruit ministers? Is this a common practice? Are the inviters in the Church in any way concerned that this minister they invited to serve the Catholic Charismatic Renewal does not under Catholic teachings on something as important as justification?
Whoops -- that last sentence should read "does not understand".
No, Copeland is not in communion with Anglicans, though any baptized Christian may receive communion in some Anglican churches (ECUSA, for one), so what it means to NOT be in communion has more to do with accepting Anglican dogma as defined through its founding documents and those promulgated at Lambeth.
Yes, it would be interesting to know what Catholics invited Copeland to minister to Catholics. Remember you're getting this construction on events from the Copeland site. What constitutes an "invitation" and what constitutes the "Roman Catholic Church" can be slippery terms to evangelicals. However, evangelizing among Catholics has been going on for a long time. My fundiegelical nieces and nephews, incredibly, used to hit us up formoney for their mission trips to Mexico and Guatamala. Said relations could really not understand how, if we were truly Christians, we could possibly oppose their building worship spaces and distributing Bibles to the locals.
Does anyone else find themselves wanting to know more about this 2003 invitation by the Catholic Church of which Palmer speaks?
I do, but I haven't found anything, so far. Here's the most detailed info that has turned up on Tony Palmer:
In 2002 in South Africa, Tony and Emiliana Palmer founded the Ark Community. The community was based on a small group of committed friends from various churches united by a common commitment to Christ and His purposes. Discipleship and personal transformation are at the heart of the community.
Tony was born in the UK and moved to South Africa as a teenager. Emiliana is Italian and met Tony when she and her family were living in South Africa. Together with their children, Daniel and Gabriella, they now live in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
Tony is an ordained Minister, ordained by the Anglican/Episcopal Church, within the CEEC (Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches). He relates directly to his Archbishop, Robert Wise as his Canon to Church Unity Affairs (www.theceec.org). Our Community is also consecrated within the CEEC as an Inter-denominational Christian Community, and enjoys much input from Father Robert's wisdom.
Tony is initially trained as a Medical Underwriter (Med. Dip. 1987), with further specialised studies in HIV/AIDS management (WITS University Medical School, RSA). He accepted his vocation to full-time Ministry in 1993 and then studied for 3 years at a Christian College (Rhema Bible Training Centre, RSA). He has also completed a short course in Biblical Archaeology and Biblical Studies (UNISA University, RSA), has a Masters Degree in Philosophy, "College of Theology" (St. Alcuin's Seminary, USA), and has an English Teachers Certificate from Cambridge University, UK (CELTA).
Tony is currently busy with his Doctorate Degree in "Early Church" studies (33-600 A.D), with a particular interest in the Community life of the early Celtic Church.
Emiliana also completed 3 years of Biblical Studies at the same Christian College (RBTC), and also holds a Cambridge English Teachers Certificate (CELTA). Together, Emiliana and Tony had the privilege of serving as Directors for Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, KCM RSA, and Tony served as Development Director at Acres of Love (www.acresoflove.org), providing homes for abandoned HIV/AIDS babies and children.
The woeful record of the RCC when it comes to dealing with Pentecostal/charismatic influences was lamented recently in London's The Tablet: http://www.thetablet.co.uk/features/2/1360/pentecostal-drift
And the fact that Bp. Palmer had to be invited by the CCR (assuming that to be true) to go to Latin America and work with Catholics is simply appalling.
I hit "send" before incorporating these comments to the above:
Back in the early 1970s Demos Shakirian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demos_Shakarian) came to the SF Bay Area with the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship, Intl. that he founded in 1953. (it still is in existence, I guess: http://www.fgbmfi.org/)
He had 2 Catholic priests in tow ... probably local SF types ... and their presence was heavily advertised in the local papers. I went (it was during my rambling and wondering days) and was quite blown away by what these priests had to say ... and by the large number of people who identified themselves as Catholics when asked to do so.
I think that the RCC has been 10 days late and $100 short when it came to capturing this kind of spiritual hunger within Catholics. If the Palmer story is true, then that just proves this deficiency that exists even today.
A Catholic Charismatic gathering will be held this June at the Olympic Stadium in Rome
Pope Francis will attend.
See poster here: http://www.rns-italia.it/CONVNAZ/CONVRIMINI/anno2014/Convocazione2014.htm
It's organized by the "Catholic Fraternity of Charismatic Covenant Communities and Fellowships" and the "International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services"
Jimmy, thanks for the link to the Tablet story. I find Mass a spiritually arid place, and the recent new language convoluted and awkward. Certainly it has not imbued me with any epiphanies.
OTOH, I have no yearning for charismaticism. Charismatics in our former Episcopal parish acted like giddy children at best and were sometimes downright disruptive during the Prayers of the People, going on and on and on with their personal petitions.
I'm a cold-hearted Yankee, I realize, but I have no yearning for talking in tongues (or handling serpents or drinking the Kool-Aid), though I realize I must accept that glossalalia is a recognized charism despite the fact that it looks like group hysteria to me.
Isn't there some sane middle ground that would allow for variations/renewal in liturgical practice without going whole hog on charismaticism?
But hasn't the charismatic movement in mainine Western churches largey eschewed many of the markers of, say, Pentecostalism? I have always assumed that this is due more to classism than theology, but isn't it the case?
Abe Rosenzweig, here's what Wikipedia has to say:
As of 2003, the Catholic Charismatic Renewal exists in over 230 countries in the world, with over 119 million members.[4] Participants in the Renewal also cooperate with non-Catholic ecclesiastical communities and other Catholics for ecumenism, as encouraged by the Catholic Church.[5]
The Charismatic element of the Church is still as evident today as it was in the early days of Christianity. Some Catholic Charismatic communities conduct healing services, gospel power services, outreaches and evangelizations where the presence of the Holy Spirit is felt, and healings and miracles take place.[6] The mission of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal is to educate believers into the totality of the declaration of the gospels. This is done by a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; a one-to-one relationship with Jesus is seen as a possibility by the Charismatic. He is encouraged to talk to Jesus directly and search for what The Lord is saying so that his life will be one with Him; to walk in the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23, this is what the Charismatic understands by giving his life to Jesus. Conscience is seen as an alternative voice of Jesus Christ.[7]
The charisms identified in Saint Paul's writings, especially in Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12-14, and Ephesians 4:11-12, continue to exist and to build up the Church (see Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003). The nine charismatic gifts considered extraordinary in character include: faith, expression of knowledge and wisdom, miracles, the gift of tongues and their interpretation, prophecy, discernment of spirits and healing (1 Corinthians 12:8-10; cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2003).[8] These gifts are related to the traditional seven gifts of the Holy Spirit described in Isaiah 11:1-2 (wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord, as listed in Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1831). The nine charismatic gifts in 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 are also related to the spiritual and corporal works of mercy.[9] Other references to charisms in the Catechism of the Catholic Church include Sections 688, 768, 799-801, 890, 951, 1508 (charism of healing) and 2035.
Dont be angry but i felt appalled by this. I wandered around in charismatic circles and found them to be so self congratulatory and prosperity driven. I feel very distrustful of the copeland empire. Perhaps many will be cpnverted but i cant help but think we will see soon "the pope and me" call now with your donation and its yours for 9.99! I say the catholic church is not the mothership - she is the ship!

I was on wave 89, I had a 15 wave set back from a crate so the logical wave counter was 74. I was doing great with a Half Track and a Anti-Tank Gun Pod, a Tank with a Gunner mounted to it ( was going to call in another soon) and then my three special ops soldiers with Ranger Training and 80-100 EXP as well as an officer. We were all doing great, great enough that I could go do something for a minute then come back to sure safety. But then a WESPE Blitz occurred and I just thought… "crap.. come on Tank!!" I lost most of my troops and vehicles. Since the WESPE loves and I mean LOVES to pepper the battlefield with rounds even though no one is there. The eight WESPE's methodically murdered all of the German Troops who ran past them. Just by this, I managed to crawl to wave 125, getting my Silver Star and Ground Controller Ribbon just from a bunch of Trigger Happy WESPE's.

Arrest in 'Baby Hope' Cold Case
NYPD Charges Cousin With Murder of Child Found Dead More Than 20 years ago.
The cousin of a slain 4-year-old girl known only as Baby Hope was charged with murder after he allegedly confessed to smothering the child, a development investigators are heralding as the potential conclusion to a cold case that has haunted them for 22 years.
Conrado Juarez, 52 years old, allegedly confessed to investigators on Saturday morning that he sexually assaulted Anjelica Castillo, smothered her with a pillow and disposed of the body with the help of his sister Balvina Juarez-Ramirez, who has since died, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Mr. Juarez emerged handcuffed from the 84th Precinct in Brooklyn Saturday night—where the New York Police Department's cold case squad is located—and didn't respond to questions. He entered a plea of not guilty through his lawyer at an arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court.
Judge Laurie Peterson ordered Mr. Juarez held without bail. He will be placed in protective custody at the request of his court-appointed lawyer, Michael Croce. He didn't speak during the hearing.
"At this time, I have not seen any statement," Mr. Croce said after the hearing, referring to an alleged confession police said they have obtained from Mr. Juarez. "I know that he was subjected to about 12 to 14 hours of interrogation."
Mr. Croce said Mr. Juarez didn't have counsel present during questioning. He said he met with Mr. Juarez for about 15 minutes before the arraignment and hasn't yet discussed the case with him at length.
At a news conference earlier Saturday announcing the arrest, police said they visited dozens of locations and talked to numerous people that led them to Mr. Juarez's home on Friday in the Bronx.
"I think this is just an amazing development," Mr. Kelly said. "It shows the phenomenal persistence."
Mr. Juarez is allegedly related to Angelica's biological father and to a woman who was caring for her at the time of the girl's death, said Erin Duggan, the executive director of communications for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.
Mr. Juarez wasn't previously known to NYPD detectives, police said. Mr. Croce said his client doesn't have a criminal record.
The search for a killer began on July 23, 1991, when Anjelica's body was found in a blue and white Igloo cooler on an embankment along the Henry Hudson Parkway near Dyckman Street in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, police have said. The girl's body was bound and wrapped in a plastic bag, police have said.
Police at the time weren't able to connect the girl to a missing person's report and knew only that she was between three and five years old. The case came at a time when the city recorded more than 2,000 murders a year.
"What sticks out in this particular case, it involves a small child," NYPD Assistant Chief of Narcotics Joseph Reznick said. "Any case involving a child is going to have an emotional effect on us and it just pushes you to solve them a lot harder than some of the others."
Every year on the anniversary of Anjelica's death detectives from the 34th Precinct—and later the NYPD's cold case squad—returned to the area around the crime scene in an effort drum up tips.
"Over the years, the optimism was always there, except the frustration would grow, the pessimism would set in," Mr. Reznick said.
In 1993, officers in the NYPD's 34th Precinct took it upon themselves to bury "Baby Hope," paying for a tombstone that read "Because We Care" with their own money. Mr. Reznick, who was a lieutenant at the time, delivered the eulogy.
"They ensured she had a proper Mass and burial," Mr. Kelly said.
A break in the case came after this year's outreach effort, when a woman who had met Angelica's older sister in a Laundromat called the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline to say she had heard the woman tell a story that matched details in the cold case, officials said.
Police tracked down the sister, and from there, a woman believed to be "Baby Hope's" mother, Mr. Kelly said.
Changes to DNA testing since the 1990s led police to exhume Anjelica's body in 2006. With the DNA that was recovered from bone samples, police were able to develop a profile that was completed in 2011. The profile helped detectives make a positive match that allowed them to locate the mother, Mr. Kelly said.
Detectives then identified and interviewed relatives, building a family tree that extended as far as Mexico, where both the mother and father were born, police said.
They also created a timeline that began with the girl's birth at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens in 1987 to the day her body was discovered in 1991, Mr. Kelly said.
The girl became separated from her mother when there was a contentious split between the parents, Mr. Kelly said, adding that the mother had tried to leave with all three children, but was only able to leave with one.
The girl had been staying with cousins on the father's side of the family at the time of the murder, Chief of Detectives Phil Pulaski said. The girl's mother, who hasn't been named, knew that the family had the child and was attempting to get the girl back.
Investigators believe the girl's disappearance was never reported to police because the family were immigrants from Mexico and feared coming forward, two law-enforcement officials said.
At some point, the investigation led to Mr. Juarez, Mr. Kelly said.
On Friday, they went to his apartment in the Morris Heights section of the Bronx where Mr. Juarez's daughter answered the door, Mr. Kelly said. She allegedly told police that he didn't live there and had been in Mexico for the last 12 years, Mr. Kelly said.
In an interview with his wife, however, detectives learned that he had gone to work as a dishwasher in a Manhattan restaurant at 7 a.m. that day, Mr. Kelly said.
"Investigators met him near the restaurant where he is employed and convinced him to talk to them," Mr. Kelly said.
On Saturday morning he allegedly confessed, Mr. Kelly said
When asked how police had linked Mr. Juarez to the crime through the family interviews, his lawyer, Mr. Croce said, "That's what I'd like to know."
"He's been arrested, he's been through very traumatic circumstance here, it's a very traumatic situation," Mr. Croce said.
Mr. Juarez, who was 30 years old at the time of the murder, allegedly told investigators that he was visiting his sister's apartment in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens and encountered Angelica in a hallway, Mr. Kelly said. He told investigators that he sexually assaulted the child, Mr. Kelly said.
"During the act, he put a pillow over her face and suffocated her," Assistant District Attorney Melissa Mourges said during his arraignment.
When Angelica became motionless, Mr. Kelly said, Mr. Juarez allegedly summoned his sister from another room. Mr. Juarez allegedly told investigators that his sister directed him to dispose of the body and brought him a blue and white cooler, Mr. Kelly said.
The two then allegedly left the apartment with the cooler, hailed a livery cab and were dropped off in Manhattan, Mr. Kelly said. The girl was tied and placed in a garbage bag inside the cooler, prosecutors said. Soda cans were then placed on top of the body, prosecutors said.
The two allegedly carried the cooler together, walking through a wooded area and setting it down before going their separate ways, Mr. Kelly said. Mr. Juarez allegedly went to the Bronx and his sister to Queens, Mr. Kelly said.
Retired NYPD Det. Jerry Giorgio—who had dedicated most of his career to solving the case until his retirement in 1997—was in the cold case bureau of the Manhattan district attorney's office two weeks before police received the tip. He was present at Saturday's announcement.
"You know the expression 'I'm on cloud nine?'" he said when asked about his reaction. "Well, that's where I am right now."
Mr. Vance said that Ms. Mourges worked the "Baby Hope" case in 1991 and now currently leads the office's cold case unit.
Mr. Vance added, "Cold cases are not forgotten cases."

How do we know if a link is affiliated with commission-type of program?
So today I posted a deal:
and got promptly down voted and blasted for posting a commissioned link. Funny thing is, I got to this link from a deals.woot offer on a completely different product on Home Depot.
So how do we know what's a "kosher" link or not?
6 Answers answer
It's possible your link just had extra code in it if you picked it up from an email; some folks will get up in arms about anything that doesn't look like a normal link. Deals.woot endeavors to strip out any affiliate links posted with deals. Generally, the easiest way to get rid of any extraneous linkage is click directly on the product on the web page, then post it.
Can't say for sure without seeing the original posting, but if you got to the page via another WOOT deal (as you mentioned) it was probably WOOT's own affiliate information in the address. (They DO need to make money ya know. ;-) ) I've had the same thing happen after finding a deal on a different site and had to make sure to strip the extra info out of the URL before posting.
I wouldn't worry about it too much... certain people intentionally post affiliate coupons frequently, sometimes they get removed and sometimes they don't. The link looks fine now. :-)
Yeah...I don't see how yours could have been confused. I just checked the link you provided (hover over the name or the "I want one" button and you'll see it) and it's pretty clearly a generic Home Depot link. Maybe people saw the number at the end of ProductID but neglected to read that it was a product and not an account number?
EDIT: maybe not. Looking to the comments, it looks like the links been fixed/ altered.
Either way and not to the point. I don't see why people get so worked up over affiliate links. Oh no one of our fellow deal.woot posters might make a dime!! god forbid they make .10 and we don't! Only thing it might cause is the posting of more and better deals. I so wouldn't vote down a deal for unless its a bad deal. If you have a problem with a deal tattle on it.
But as for your links I don't see anything wrong with them the id shown looks just like the item ID. Unless the mod has already gotten a hold of them both.
thanks for the replies, folks. Yes, the mods took care of the link. Looks like I learned something new today. Cheers
Like @okham said: Woot makes a pretty strong effort to chop referral/affiliate links from the URL and [most times] replace it with their own..
(For the most part their pretty easy to identify, but you still have to appreciate Woot's progammers)
And like @dravack said, if somebody posted a Groupon or something like that I would hope you'd use their link.. People that ONLY post deals for profit is different, but I mean if a regular Wooter throws in a Groupon link or something like that every once and awhile people should be happy to use it - especially since it doesn't impact them or their purchase at all.

One College Drive
Bennington, VT 05201-6003
Longtime Bennington faculty member Gunnar Schonbeck was honored at Mass MoCA's Solid Sound Festival recently when Wilco drummer Glenn Kotche performed using the unique handcrafted instruments for which the late music teacher is known.
Kotche performed 20-minute sets at the top of the hour on Friday, June 24, from 5-7:00 pm, and on Saturday, June 25, at 2:00 pm, and from 4-6:00 pm, in the Lewitt wing on the second floor of the museum.
Schonbeck's instruments—adapted from commonplace objects like flowerpots, sewer pipes, and fire extinguishers—were created during his 50-year career at Bennington, where he regularly orchestrated student concerts that featured hundreds of the instruments at once.
The rarely seen pieces remain in the College's collection, and were meticulously tuned and prepared by current music faculty member Nick Brooke and alumnus Sam Clement '08 before the weekend's performances.
They will be used in July by Mark Stewart (Paul Simon's guitarist) as part of Mass MoCA's Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival, where student composers from all over the country will have the opportunity to work with them.

Hey guys,
So I wanted to dual boot my laptop with Ubuntu. I created a 50GB partition for Windows 8 (which I've already got installed), a 350GB one for Data to be shared between the 2 OSs, and I left 40GB or so for ubuntu.
I've tried creating the partition upon installation (using an image on my USB) but it says that those 40GB are unusable. What can I do?

THE PARTY MCASD hosted a cocktail soiree for the bold-faced architect William T. Georgis, who has an art-filled home in La Jolla. THE SCENE The glamorous house, which he shares with his partner, art curator Richard D. Marshall, is obviously featured in the glossy coffee-table book, Make It Fabulous: The Architecture & Design of William T. Georgis. The house is named Akropolishis, a nod to his Greek heritage and the property's Mount Soledad location. Considering Georgis designs for the art world's heavyweights, it's no surprise his own lair features a stunning collection, including works by UCLA professor Barbara Kruger and UCSD prof Kim MacConnel, who attended the party with his artist wife, Jean Lowe. Other artists who came out for this festive book signing included sculptor Christopher Puzio and ceramist Josh Herman. Architect Jennifer Luce, a La Jolla resident, also made an appearance THE HIGHLIGHTS MCASD Director Hugh M. Davies welcomed the crowd to the event, which was capped off with a private after-party at the Akropolishis. Guests couldn't wait to spy the mirrored powder room, shattered with bullet holes.

Can the following equation be rewritten as a function, $f(F(x))$, of $F(x)$? I.e. as $y = f(F(x))$?
\begin{equation} F(x) = - x \log_2 x - (1-x) \log_2 (1-x) \end{equation}
where $x = (1+\sqrt{1-y^2})/2$ and $y$ takes values between $0$ and $1$.
I'm thinking the answer is no, but hopefully it's yes!

Kids make all the right moves
By Stephanie Merry
Friday, November 2, 2012
Friday night lights are not nearly as exciting as Saturday morning checkmates at Brooklyn public middle school I.S. 318, which has a consistently acclaimed chess team. It might be surprising to hear, but observing is riveting, too, especially when looking through the lens of the enlightening, inspiring and expertly crafted documentary "Brooklyn Castle."
While minors often spend their spare time loitering outside convenience stores, camped out in front of Call of Duty or engaging in worrisome alternative activities, this group of kids contemplates complicated gambits. Katie Dellamaggiore's film is hardly an underdog story; the team has been called the Yankees of academic chess teams. And yet the school's rise to prominence is noteworthy given that about 65 percent of its students live below the poverty line.
Over the course of a year, the film looks at the lives of a handful of teammates, their families and their coaches to examine, in part, the recipe for such a winning streak. It turns out there are no shortcuts. Workaholic-caliber coaches John Galvin and Elizabeth Vicary and their worker bees practice every day after school and block off Saturdays for tournament play.
One of the film's great assets is how closely Dellamaggiore appears to follow her subjects. It would be interesting to see how much footage went unused, given the filmmaker's access during the 2009-10 school year. The camera works its magic in classrooms and apartments, tournament-bound trains and at 4:30 a.m. wake-up calls, school assemblies and decoratively challenged hotel ballrooms lined with game clocks.
Another strong point is the eclectic cast. The serious Rochelle plans to become the first female African American chess master, while Pobo is a boisterous boy who strategizes about his path to the U.S. presidency. Justus is the supposed next big thing who buckles under the pressure of his reputation, while the ADHD-afflicted Patrick aspires to avoid last place.
Middle school, of course, offers countless possibilities for drama, and the film makes powerful use of emotionally heightened stories while, miraculously, steering clear of typical adolescent angst. Matches tend to be suspenseful, though the real nail-biter is the Wall Street meltdown, which jeopardizes the team's funding. There's also the matter of placing into a good high school, which is an all-consuming concern for team member Alexis, who wants to attend college and support his parents. Listening to him discuss such realities makes it easy to forget he's 12 years old.
Although the film starts off fairly bubbly -- to the beats of hip-hop and classical music -- serious elements emerge. This works to a point, though toward the end, the story starts to feel like a slight slog. Luckily, the feeling is fleeting.
The film takes a cue from teacher-coach Vicary: The viewer gets an education while being entertained. Colorful graphics accompany explanations of rankings and how games are scored. At first, it seems like a lot of fun and games, although chess equates to much more. It's a reason to stay off the streets and a means to attend college through scholarship prizes, which is enough to make audience members want to break out the pompoms and give these kids a cheer.
Contains nothing objectionable.

BOSTON — A federally funded watchdog group has launched an investigation into the treatment of inmates at Bridgewater State Hospital psychiatric prison.
The state Department of Correction confirmed Wednesday that lawyers from the Disability Law Center arrived at the medium-security prison Tuesday to meet with administrators, gather records, and meet with patients.
Department spokesman Darren Duarte tells The Boston Globe that the visit was "a positive meeting."
The investigation comes in the wake of reports that guards and clinicians are illegally putting mentally ill inmates and patients into physical restraints and isolation cells.
The Disability Law Center is designated under federal law to investigate complaints about the abuse of disabled people. It said in a letter to state officials it has "deep concern about the amount of restraint and seclusion."

Coaches say it all the time that their teams have to value possession of the ball.
That's the same whether it's football, basketball, baseball or soccer.
It is rare when a team can overcome losing the turnover battle and win.
No other team knows that more, this year, than the Edison Wildcats.
Four weeks after handing Union Local six possessions in a 13-12 loss to the one-win Jets, the Wildcats received seven gifts in Friday night's 35-22 win at Martins Ferry.
But, that win wasn't all about the turnovers.
That win was set up the week before when I watched head coach Mike McKenzie, during the third quarter of the loss to undefeated St. Clairsville, look at one of his senior players and say, "You ready to quit?"
Before McKenzie could spit out the "t" sound, the player said, "No sir."
That's the kind of leadership you want out of a team that is having a season much worse than they imagined.
That's the kind of leadership you want out of a team that has gone through their fare share of adversity, most of it last week.
That's the kind of leadership you want out of a team that is 20-something players down from the numbers in the program a year ago for various reasons and, yes, pay-to-participate is one of those reasons.
That's the kind of leadership you want out of any or your players.
McKenzie got all that and more Friday night.
He got all that and more during the previous Friday night.
I guarantee you that win at Martins Ferry caught the eye of Bellaire head coach Jose Davis and Indian Creek coach Andrew Connor - the Wildcats' last two opponents.
Sometimes a win is more than a win.
This was one of them.
But, if you finish the season with pads in tact, then you have to look in the mirror and be proud of how you and your teammates finished the season.
Since they are the only winless football team in our area, I wonder how many football players at Weir High are roaming through the halls instead of wearing pads during the week and on Friday nights?
Players are either part of the solution or you say nothing about the team.
It sure isn't easy for the current players and coaching staff each and every week. But, playing and coaching is what they signed up for and, when you sign up for something, you see it through.
I have been on the sidelines quite often and it's not as if the coaching staff is being silent. They are up, yelling, teaching and coaching. They kick the kids in the rear and pat them on the back.
This is a good coaching staff.
Although the hole is too deep to see the sun right now, the playing of all these freshmen and sophomores will pay dividends next year and the year after.
And, I guarantee you, that sophomore quarterback William Larch would much rather be in pads getting hit than on the sidelines in street clothes.
Just curious if enough voters in the Edison and Indian Creek school districts will step up and help the future generation of kids going through those school systems?
I really hope no one was surprised by the behavior of the Kansas City Chiefs fans in last week's loss at home when quarterback Matt Casells was injured.
If you were, just hang around any high school or youth sporting event and you'll hear just about the same thing - not when an athlete gets injured, but the stupid things that people say.
At what point in time when you are outside of a high school stadium do you stop when the national anthem is played? From what I have seen, apparently you have to actually be inside the stadium to stand with respect and shut up because the sound of the national anthem actually stops at the fence.
So, it appears that Tony LaRussa and Albert Pujols were overrated?
Five of the nine baseball teams whose payroll is over $100 million made the playoffs, while one of the 10 teams whose payroll is under $80 million made the playoffs.
I understand the frustration of the Pirates fans, but, in reality, what were the Pirates going to give up for that one big bat at the end of the season?
The Dodgers added $252 million and missed the playoffs and the Angles' team payroll is at just under $155 million and they missed the playoffs.
The Angels are paying Vernon Wells just over $24 million.
The Dodgers are paying Ted Lilly about $11.6 million.
Not a Yankees fan at all, but really going to miss Derek Jeter in the playoffs.
Great hire by the Cleveland Indians to get Terry Francona.
I still think Clint Hurdle is great for the Pirates.
I still appreciate the sweet sound of the NHL lockout.
Why can't people just sing or play a respectful version of the national anthem?
I hate watching high school soccer players flop and I really, really don't like it when they are rewarded for their acts by the officials.
It's too bad West Virginia's defense is really that bad.
How long before Alameda Ta'amu is no longer in a Steelers uniform?
Buckeye Local High School is looking for a boys varsity baseball coach again. Obviously, telling George Laase that he was no longer wanted at his alma mater was a great decision.
Laase was named the summer coach of the Staunton Braves.
But, not good enough ... never mind.

10 Ways to Deal with Temper Tantrums
5 of 11
Avoid Making a Scene
Try to avoid long, drawnout scenes in which you beg, bribe, urge, or command your child to regain control of herself. If you allow the tantrum to become a big scene, you will be rewarding your child with "too much" attention. (Sometimes attracting even negative attention is better than no attention at all.) Creating a scene will not only prolong the tantrum, but it may provoke repeat performances in the near future. If, however, you deny your tantrum-torn toddler an audience, she will call off the performance as soon as she can.

The State of Fine-Wine Auction Houses: Less Flash, More Fire
A look at the juicy theater, fraud scares and six-figure lots that fuel a vibrant scene
ALTHOUGH MOST wine drinkers think of fall in terms of harvest and vintage, the big news—or at least the big money—isn't in grapes, but in bottles.
And right now, the entire wine-auction world seems to be full of good news—at least for the sellers and the auction houses. Ben Nelson, president of the Chicago-based auction house Hart Davis Hart Wine Co., says that sales at his house this year are over $25 million—more than 33% higher than last year—with two more big auctions to take place in the next couple of months. He estimates that total fine-wine auction sales in 2012 exceeded $300 million. No wonder news releases from major houses announcing sale results all seem to contain phrases like "exceeded all expectations" or "exceeded estimates." The figures cited are inevitably large—often five and six figures.
Perhaps that's why every auction director I spoke with sounded quite pleased—even those who have yet to hold a single sale. Michael Jessen, president and CEO of the newly-launched Wally's Auctions, characterized the market as "incredibly vibrant." Wally's, which is based in Los Angeles, will hold its first auction next month in New York. One lot that Mr. Jessen is particularly excited about is six bottles of 1993 Henri Jayer Cros Parantoux, Vosne Romanée. The lot is estimated to sell for $20,000 to $30,000.
So who are the buyers and who are the sellers in this gilded scenario? Where do they come from? The answer was inevitably "all over the globe." In my conversations with the auction house heads, the word "global" came up almost as often as the phrase "exceeded all expectations."
'Wine auctions can be good theater, with the big numbers and clever patter. '
The market may be global, but the biggest auctions take place in three major cities—New York, London and Hong Kong (and to a lesser extent, Chicago, thanks to Hart Davis Hart). With the majority of the purchasers scattered about the globe, most of the bidding takes place online. This makes the market "much more efficient," as Mr. Nelson said, though it might make it a little less exciting for spectators, too.
Still, wine auctions can be pretty good theater, at least for wine lovers who like to see big numbers flashed on screens and listen to the auctioneer's loving (if very brief) descriptions of the lots. Many major auction houses hold their live auctions in first-rate restaurants, offering lunch or dinner and sometimes tastes of a few auction wines. That's as close as you'll get to the actual bottles, which otherwise only appear in the auction catalogs.
And what a pleasure those catalogs are to behold. The thick, glossy paper is flush with notes about wines and vintages accompanied by beguilingly lit bottles of Bordeaux and Burgundy. It's all seemingly calculated to tempt bidders to abandon fiscal good sense.
Even though many sales are taking place online, the catalog still matters. "Many customers still want to see the catalog before placing their bids," Mr. Nelson wrote in an email. In fact, he added, many buyers would actually wait for the catalog to arrive before placing a bid.
Auction catalogs may be the most significant constant in the ever-changing auction world, which has seen two very big shifts in the past 20 years. The first took place in 1994, when wine auctions were legalized in New York. As Jamie Ritchie, CEO and president of wine Americas & Asia at Sotheby's noted, this changed wine from something that was the province of a small community of collectors to a commodity that could be bought and sold the same way as a work of art.
The second big shift took place in 2008, when the 80% wine import tax in Hong Kong was stripped away. This change in law brought a flood of wine brokers and auction houses to Hong Kong, where buyers seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of money and an equally inexhaustible appetite for Bordeaux.
One Bordeaux was of particular interest to Asian buyers: Château Lafite Rothschild. At a 2010 Hong Kong auction, three bottles of 1869 Lafite Rothschild were expected to sell for $8,000 apiece; the wine went for $232,692 a bottle instead. Two years later, 12 bottles of a much younger (1982) Lafite sold at another Hong Kong auction for an impressive $42,350.
Today's Hong Kong auction market is smaller and much less flashy than it used to be. Take, for example, the recent history of Sotheby's. The house sold $53 million worth of wine in Hong Kong in 2010, $45 million in 2011 and about half that amount ($27 million) in 2012. This year is shaping up to be a bit stronger than last, with total sales of $25 million so far.
There is also much less emphasis on Lafite and Bordeaux in the Hong Kong market. Zachys president Jeff Zacharia, who travels to Hong Kong quite often, described the market as more "well-rounded" than it was in those heady days—the same words that John Kapon, CEO of Acker Merrall & Condit auction house, used to describe the auction world overall.
And yet even in this "well rounded" market, one wine reigns supreme: Burgundy. Buyers and sellers alike are all looking for wine from this hallowed region. As Jamie Pollack, North American managing director of Zachys put it: "Burgundy is hot, hot, hot."
Some wines warrant such praise—especially any Burgundy produced by Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (aka DRC). At a recent Sotheby's auction, a single case of 1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti sold for $159,250. Needless to say, this "exceeded all estimates." Other Burgundy domaines have racked up impressive, if somewhat less meteoric numbers—like the case of 1990 Clos de la Roche Domaine Dujac that sold last month at a Hart Davis Hart auction for $23,900.
Of course, numbers like these have a way of attracting the attention of wine thieves. The auction world has been rife with fraud. Burgundy, of course, is a big target Just last week, an Italian father and son were arrested in France on suspicion of making $2.7 million worth of what they tried to pass off as DRC. While those wines—which were said to be lousy—may or may not have made it to auction, it doesn't mean that there aren't many more fraudsters whose work has yet to be found. The most famous example of a fraudulent wine at auction was a lot supposedly of Burgundy producer Domaine Ponsot, which was nearly sold at Acker Merrall & Condit in 2008. The auction was stopped when Mr. Ponsot himself showed up and denounced the bottles as frauds.
Beyond Burgundy, other auction-house best sellers include mature Bordeaux and cult Cabs from Napa Valley producers like Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Dana Estates (two bottles of 2007 Dana sold for $1,792 at a recent HDH auction), but they seem like bargains compared with Burgundy.
Are there any real bargains in the auction world today? Mr. Kapon named "Classic California wines" like Dunn and Montelena as overlooked and underpriced, while Ms. Pollack cited older Riojas. "You can get Riojas from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s and the value is exceptional," she said. (Three bottles of 1920 R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia sold for $980 at a recent Zachys auction; the sale's other Riojas sold in the low four figures.)
So what does this all mean to a collector thinking of selling or a buyer who might want to enter the market now? Sellers should know that certain auction houses set minimum prices on the wines they accept. Sotheby's, for example, won't look at any collection worth less than $20,000. Some houses are a little more flexible. "We decide on a case-by-case basis," said Ms. Pollack, who offered the example of a man who asked if Zachys would accept a double magnum of 1982 Château Latour for auction. Although the wine was only worth a few thousand dollars, Zachys agreed to sell the wine at auction. It turned out the man had a multimillion-dollar cellar, which he later sold at auction with Zachys.
Each auction house has a different commission policy, too. This may vary from a few percent points of the total to nothing at all (as at Acker Merrall & Condit), though no auction director would give me an exact number. Finally, a seller should know how each auction house comes up with their estimates—the price range where they expect the sale price to fall. Some auction houses offer unrealistically high estimates hoping to attract would-be sellers—like real estate brokers who overprice a house just to get the listing—and then hope the wine will sell. It's useful to check a few final sales.
The most important number for buyers to know is the buyer's premium—the not-inconsiderable sum that's tacked onto every lot sold (and for which the buyer is responsible). Premiums vary by house: At Hart Davis Hart, the premium is 19.5% while Zachys and Sothebys ring in 22.5% (no one knows where the half-percent business started). Acker Merrall tops out at 23%. The final hammer price plus the buyer's premium is referred to as the "aggregate" amount.
Successful selling or buying at auction means doing research. In fact, the word that auction directors invoked almost as often as they did "global" was "homework." A good deal on either end is virtually impossible without a lot of study. And perhaps the cultivation of a taste for (very) old Rioja.

Use copy and paste
You can copy and paste text and images between all of your documents, spreadsheets, and presentations — even if you're going from one type of file to another. And if you copy an image from a desktop application on your computer, you can paste it right into your document, spreadsheet, or presentation. You can use keyboard shortcuts, the right-click menu, or the web clipboard menu to copy and paste in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.Keyboard shortcuts
For most copying and pasting, you can use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+C for Copy, Ctrl+X for Cut and Ctrl+V for Paste (Cmd+C, Cmd+X and Cmd+V on a Mac). This also works when going from one file type to another.
There are a couple of times when keyboard shortcuts don't work as well. In these cases, you should use the web clipboard menu:
- If you're copying between presentations and another file type
- If you want to copy on one computer and paste on another
- If you want to copy something you aren't going to paste right away
For security reasons, most browsers don't allow web apps like Docs, Sheets, and Slides to use your computer's clipboard through menus.
If you use Chrome, you can give permission to access your clipboard by installing the Google Drive Chrome app. This allows you to use the right-click menu to copy and paste content (or select "Copy" or "Paste" from the Edit menu in the toolbar). To install the app, visit the Chrome Web Store.
There are a few cases in which the best way to copy and paste is using the web clipboard tool. With the web clipboard tool, you can copy more than one selection and then choose which one to paste later; it also lets you copy something on one computer and then paste it on another.
- Select what you'd like to copy.
- Click Edit Web clipboard Copy selection to web clipboard.
- In the destination file, click Edit Web clipboard again; you'll see the selection that you previously copied. If you copied multiple things, you'll see a list of the items you've recently copied.
- Place the cursor where you want to paste the content.
- Click Edit Web clipboard.
- Select what you want to paste. Depending on your selection, you'll see different formats that you can choose from to paste what you've copied (for example, HTML or plain text).
- Select a format.
You can use the web clipboard to copy shapes from drawings and paste shapes into drawings embedded in Google spreadsheets, documents and presentations, or to copy and paste a drawing from a doc into the standalone drawing editor.
Click Edit Web clipboard Copy shapes to web clipboard. Then, open the document that you want to paste the drawing into. Click Edit Web clipboard, and select the drawing you want to paste from the menu.
You can't use the web clipboard to copy and paste regular text and images in Google Slides. You can select entire shapes on a single slide, and if the shape is a text shape, then the text will be copied to the server clipboard.
The web clipboard is not available in Google Sheets.
How content on the server clipboard is stored and protected
You can access the content copied to the server clipboard only by signing in to the same Google Account you used to copy the content originally.
Content you copy to the web clipboard is stored on Google's servers and remains there until 30 days have passed since you last took action on (for example, copied) a given content selection. Even if a document is deleted, anything you copied from that document to the server clipboard will still exist on Google's servers for that 30-day period. You can delete all items stored on the server clipboard. Click the drop-down menu and select Clear all items.
If you want to choose your formatting when copying and pasting, you can use paste special.
Note: Paste special works only within a single spreadsheet. You can't copy cells from one spreadsheet and use paste special in a spreadsheet you have open in another tab.
- Open a spreadsheet.
- Copy the data you want to paste and put your cursor in the cell you want to paste into.
- Click Edit.
- Hover over "Paste Special."
- Choose from the following:
- Paste values only: Pastes only the text contained in the original range of cells.
- Paste format only: This option is identical to using the paint format tool -- it only copies cell formatting, and won't disrupt any existing text or formulas.
- Paste all except borders: Pastes everything but any cell borders that have been added.
- Paste formula only: Pastes the formulas contained in a copied range of cells, not the resulting calculations of the formulas.
- Paste data validation only: Pastes a data validation rule over a range of cells without disrupting any existing formatting, formulas or text.
- Paste conditional formatting only: Only apply conditional formatting rules to a range of cells.
- Paste transpose : Paste a rotated version of the copied cells. For example, if you copy a column of cells and use paste transpose, it will paste them into a row, and vice versa.
- Paste column widths only: Pastes the column widths from the copied range without changing the other formatting, formulas, or text.
Note: Paste special works only within a single spreadsheet. You can't copy cells from one spreadsheet and use paste special in a spreadsheet you have open in another tab.
Choose formatting after pasting
Instead of choosing how to format data before you paste it, you can format the content after a paste.
- In a spreadsheet, copy the content you want to paste.
- Paste the content in the same spreadsheet.
- By default, the original formatting of the content will stay the same. To change the formatting, click the Paste icon that appears next to the cells you pasted into and choose an option:
- Paste values only: Pastes only the text contained in the original range of cells.
- Paste format only: This option is identical to using the paint format tool -- it only copies cell formatting, and won't disrupt any existing text or formulas.
You can repeat your last action in another section of your spreadsheet, as many times as necessary, by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Y (⌘ + Y on a Mac). You can save time using this shortcut for re-applying formatting or redoing an operation like inserting a row or column. Note that it doesn't work with all actions that may be complex or need extra information, for example printing a spreadsheet or inserting a chart.
To copy an image in your spreadsheet to a document or presentation, follow these steps:
- Select what you'd like to copy.
- Click Edit Copy.
- To paste the image, go to the document or presentation where you want the image, click Edit Web clipboard, and choose the item you'd like to paste.
To copy a chart from your spreadsheet to a document, presentation, or spreadsheet, follow these steps:
- Select the chart.
- Press Ctrl + C on your keyboard or select Copy chart from the dropdown arrow in the top right corner of the chart.
- You can then paste the chart into another document, presentation, spreadsheet created using the new Google Sheets, or email by pressing Ctrl + V on your keyboard in Chrome or use the web clipboard for other browsers.
Note: When copying charts inside the same spreadsheet, the original data is used, so updating any data updates the chart. When copying between spreadsheets, a copy of the data is used, so no data is linked and updating the original data does not affect the chart. Charts pasted in documents or presentations are added as images and as a result, aren't updated with changes to data and aren't interactive.
- Open the presentation.
- From the list of slides on the left, select the slide you'd like to copy. You can press Shift to select a sequence of slides, or press Ctrl to select multiple, non-sequential slides.
- Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C (Cmd + C on a Mac) to copy the selected slide(s).
- Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V (Cmd + V on a Mac) to paste the selected slide(s) within the presentation.

Heavy surf crashes over a seawall on the Atlantic Ocean during the early stages of Hurricane Sandy, Monday, Oct. 29, 2012, in Kennebunk, Maine. Hurricane Sandy wheeled toward land as forecasters feared Monday, raking cities along the Northeast corridor with rain and wind gusts, flooding shore towns, washing away a section of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, and threatening to cripple Wall Street and New York's subway system with a huge surge of corrosive seawater. (AP)
TOPEKA, Kan. -- The civilian incident management team the state of Kansas deployed to Maryland October 28 shifted its location to support a county in need Wednesday (10/31).
The state Incident Management Team had been assisting Maryland emergency management officials in the state's Emergency Operations Center in Reisterstown, Md., but moved to Garrett County to assist with disaster management there. The western Maryland county has been blanketed with two feet of snow, as well as multiple power outages and road closures across the area.
The two Kansas Division of Emergency Management staff who deployed to assist the state of New York arrived midday yesterday and are working in the state emergency operations center in Albany supporting logistics efforts (coordinating supply needs and routing them where they are needed).

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW)-- Fort Riley Garrison Public Affairs officials confirm that government service employees on the installation could face 22 furlough days between April 26-Sept 30 of this year which equates to about a 20% cut in pay during that time period.
Due to sequestration, workers could lose two paid days out of every 10 work days over the course of five months.
There are 2,700 civilian employees at Fort Riley that could face furloughs.
"Not all employees are going to be eligible for the furloughs. I think at Fort Riley, the numbers we've heard would be around 2,700 employees may be furloughed and that would be $14 million in personal income among those employees that they would not receive so then that has an impact on the various local communities because they would have to reduce their spending," said John Armbrust, Executive Director of the Governor's Military Council.
Officials say nothing is set in stone at this point but this measure is what is being looked at because of sequestration, the Continuing Resolution Authority and the debt ceiling.
"It's going to be difficult for those people because they budget based on a certain amount of income. If someone came up and said you're going to take a twenty percent cut in pay, where's your twenty percent cut in expenses? People probably don't have that flexibility so it's going to be very difficult for everyone and I feel sorry for the people impacted by this," said Retired Colonel John Seitz, Military Affairs Director for the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce.
"It'll definitely have an impact on our economy and our sales tax around here. If the Congress and if the House of Representatives are smart, they can move certain items around in this sequestration and get it not quite as painful especially for the DOD employees because right now, they're the only ones getting hit hard by this. There's other ways to cut the budget besides on personnel costs," added Manhattan Mayor Loren Pepperd.
Junction City officials also weighed in on the issue. The city released the following statement to WIBW: "It is difficult to estimate the total economic impact of the sequestration on Junction City. We have immediate concerns about possible reductions and layoffs on Fort Riley and the impact of reduced spending at Junction City businesses. Lower sales tax collections resulting from lower sales within the City would result in an immediate impact on City finances."
A round table discussion is being scheduled for Friday at the 1st Infantry Division's Headquarters with the senior leadership at Fort Riley and members of the media. During the meeting, the officials are expected to address the fiscal situation and sequestration.
Besides possible furloughs, other impacts to the civilian workforce could include: a limited civilian hiring freeze and reduction of support contracts. Temporary and term employees have been or will released as well.
Fort Riley officials say as a result of fiscal challenges, there will be less discretionary funding but the readiness of soldiers and support of military families will not be compromised.
Fort Riley is planning for a continuation of services during the possible furlough periods, officials said.
"I think the impact on services and readiness is going to be fixed so that we try to minimize the impact, certainly on readiness for our soldiers who might have to deploy and also on the support that is given to families in the area of medical and childcare and things of that nature that everyone depends on. Those things are going to be protected as much as they possibly can. The readiness of the units that will have to be deployed and the care and support for families will be maintained. The Army takes care of its own," Seitz told WIBW.

IRVING (November 16, 2012)—Irving-based Hostess Brands said Friday it is going out of business, closing plants that make Twinkies and Wonder Bread and laying off all of its 18,500 workers.
The company says a nationwide worker strike crippled its ability to make and deliver its products at several locations.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer.
Hostess warned employees that it would file a motion in U.S. Bankruptcy Court to unwind its business and sell assets if plant operations didn't return to normal levels by Thursday evening.
The privately held company filed for Chapter 11 protection in January, its second trip through bankruptcy court in less than a decade.
Products already baked will be delivered and Hostess brands retail stores will remain open for several more days to sell already-baked products, the company said.

Is bear spray (pepper spray specially formulated to be effective against bear attacks) effective against other animals, especially mountain lions or wolves? Or is there something in it specifically targeted towards bears that would make it less effective on other attacking animals?
Given that the active ingredient is capsaicin which is used in self-defence sprays for all types of purposes, bear spray should be effective on anything with tear ducts, soft tissue, sinuses, eyeballs, etc, (and will totally dominate a bean burrito**).
The discriminating difference between "bear spray" vs "self-defense" spray, vs. law enforcement "occupy-protester" spray is a combination of volume, range, spray pattern, and percent capsaicin and oleoresin capsicum (capsaicin is what gives the spray the "heat" ranging in the 1-3% range, while oleoresin capsicum is pepper oil extract that contains the capsaicin).
Other than that, it is all essentially the same stuff, and has been used effectively against bear, moose, dogs, cats, and people.
However, as pointed out in other answers, each animal's behavior / attack pattern varies, meaning your ability to implement pepper spray in a timely effective manner may be limited. Knowing what threats are in the area you are traveling, and the best way to prevent an encounter in the first place is your BEST plan.
**NOTE: although capsaicin IS the same thing that gives chillies their heat, (and in fact is isolated from chillies) DO NOT use bear spray or other self defense sprays as a flavor enhancer. I point it out as a segue to illustrate that Pepper spray is only effective as an active counter-attack measure sprayed directly in the face of an assailant, and should NOT be used as a "repellent." There have been reports of people spraying bear-spray on their tents and sleeping bags like mosquito repellent which is basically the same as turning yourself into bear-sized buffalo wings.
According to this account: http://missoulian.com/news/state-and-regional/idaho-bicyclist-rescued-from-pursuing-wolf/article_db0bef64-ea50-11e2-ad52-001a4bcf887a.html bear spray did not deter this particular wolf (dog?). So, case study of 1...
Chemically, if you can use it, I see no reason why it wouldn't work on any similar animals - though practically it may not be as effective. In terms of cougars for instance, this seems to imply it'll work if you can get it out and use it in time, but because of their nature the chances of you being able to carry out the task successfully are dramatically less for a cougar than a bear.
Most material seems to imply that for wolves it's better to make yourself look big (less like prey), get children behind you and face the wolf rather than using spray, so I'd try that first and hopefully it won't get on close enough quarters to warrant using the spray!
