Seymour plans to hire a half-dozen new employees at its water pollution control facility this year to staff the new stormwater utility.
Officials also want to use some of the money being generated in stormwater fees to increase the salaries of some current sewer plant positions.
Randy Hamilton, utility director, asked the city council on Monday for permission to reorganize the sewer department and add a foreman, three operators, and a construction lead to handle stormwater issues and oversee related projects.

Moblin from OpenSUSE: SLED 11 as Moblin Boots in 10 Seconds
Novell's and Intel's collaboration on the Moblin project is showing its first fruits. The beta version of Moblin appeared alongside a special version of the SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.
While Moblin up to now has stood for the quickstart Linux system from Intel, many distros are now likely to have a Moblin version. The first in a series is Novell's with a special version of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, SLED 11. The 1.3 GByte ISO image of its beta is available for download from the Novell ForgeFTP server and installable on practically all netbooks with Atom CPUs. Unlike the original Moblin, the openSUSE variant also supports systems without Atom CPUs.
The current version is not in any way intended for production environments. YaST automatically formats the complete hard drive during installation, so testing the new version requires the corresponding Linux know-how. Novell also provides the complete distro as RPM packages so that experienced openSUSE users can convert their own installations into Moblin ones.
The SLED 11-based distro boots up in very little time. The kernel and init scripts take about two seconds, although the X Server and openSUSE's GNOME desktop take about another 10 seconds. Novell is further fine-tuning the start time to get closer to that of the original Moblin version. Optimizations of the kernel should also flow into openSUSE 11.2 planned for the end of 2009, hopefully with a bootup time of less than 20 seconds, too.
InstallIt is easy. You must burn the file on a cd with nero. And then you must boot the cd and install!
how can I installl it?Do somebody know where can I see a howto for installl it?
Thanks for help.

In general, previous research has only tangentially addressed questions about the duration of precipitation events and the spatial and temporal variability associated with accumulating precipitation, from local to global scales. As precipitation rates and intensities change with variations in the climate, it is imperative that changes in the duration of precipitation events are also considered. Impacts from changes in precipitation duration, coupled with changes in precipitation intensity and frequency, have significant implications for changes in extreme events such as droughts and floods, but also the potential changes in moderate to light precipitation events. Accurately depicting changes in precipitation duration will help answer fundamental questions about precipitation characteristics that have not been addressed previously. A review of previous research incorporating precipitation duration is presented in this manuscript, with an example of how sub-daily precipitation data can be used to provide additional insight into the overall nature of precipitation.

30 U.S. Code § 1273 - Federal lands
No later than one year after August 3, 1977, the Secretary shall promulgate and implement a Federal lands program which shall be applicable to all surface coal mining and reclamation operations taking place pursuant to any Federal law on any Federal lands:
The requirements of this chapter and the Federal lands program or an approved State program for State regulation of surface coal mining on Federal lands under subsection (c), whichever is applicable, shall be incorporated by reference or otherwise in any Federal mineral lease, permit, or contract issued by the Secretary which may involve surface coal mining and reclamation operations. Incorporation of such requirements shall not, however, limit in any way the authority of the Secretary to subsequently issue new regulations, revise the Federal lands program to deal with changing conditions or changed technology, and to require any surface mining and reclamation operations to conform with the requirements of this chapter and the regulations issued pursuant to this chapter.
Any State with an approved State program may elect to enter into a cooperative agreement with the Secretary to provide for State regulation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations on Federal lands within the State, provided the Secretary determines in writing that such State has the necessary personnel and funding to fully implement such a cooperative agreement in accordance with the provision of this chapter. States with cooperative agreements existing on August 3, 1977, may elect to continue regulation on Federal lands within the State, prior to approval by the Secretary of their State program, or imposition of a Federal program, provided that such existing cooperative agreement is modified to fully comply with the initial regulatory procedures set forth in section 1252 of this title. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as authorizing the Secretary to delegate to the States his duty to approve mining plans on Federal lands, to designate certain Federal lands as unsuitable for surface coal mining pursuant to section 1272 of this title, or to regulate other activities taking place on Federal lands.
The Secretary shall develop a program to assure that with respect to the granting of permits, leases, or contracts for coal owned by the United States, that no class of purchasers of the mined coal shall be unreasonably denied purchase thereof.
[1] So in original. Probably should be "201(a)(2)(B)".

New London - With the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School still fresh on his mind, City Council President Michael Passero wants a discussion about getting guns off the streets.
And Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio agrees.
Both city leaders are looking into possible gun buyback programs.
At Monday's City Council meeting, Passero raised the idea of a gun buyback program through the police department. The item was sent to the Public Safety Committee for further review.
"I'm not necessarily advocating for it,'' Passero said Monday before the meeting. "But I want to have a discussion about it. I want to get the issue out there, get the debate started and have a committee meeting with professionals who can answer our questions."
In 2007, the City Council looked into a similar program but the proposal died in committee, he said.
On Monday, Finizio said he wants to push for ways to get more firearms off the streets. But the city has no money to fund such a program, he said. City staff is looking at possible programs that could include handing out gift certificates or gift cards in lieu of cash.
"I've also instructed the police department to examine any federal or state grants that may be available,'' Finizio said.
The Office of Development and Planning could also be involved, he said, and could approach businesses and nonprofits to ask for donations of gift certificates of gift cards that could be exchanged for firearms.
"Wherever you are on the gun control debate, there's common ground, everyone seems to agree, you lessen the risk (violent crime with guns) if you can lower the number of guns in society and make sure those who have guns are law abiding. It reduces the risk for everyone in society," he said. "The debate shouldn't stop us from trying to reduce the number of guns on the street, and disrupt the trade and trafficking of illegal guns."
The city could also hold an amnesty program, in which illegal firearms are turned in with no questions asked, he said.
"There are many different ways to go about this,'' Finizio said. "We welcome the council's input."
For the program to be successful, Passero added, the entire community needs to get involved in the discussion.
"Maybe someone can step forward,'' he said. "We need community partners to put up the rewards."

Although it may seem that vegetable gardens have just begun growing well and planting is done, it's time to seed crops for fall harvest. Sixty day crops planted in July will mature in September as weather is cooling.
Look at seed packets and note the days to harvest. Count back from the first fall frost date, October 11 for the Denver area. With cool season vegetables note that many tolerate the first light frosts of fall very well and an extended harvest period can be expected. Warm season vegetables must be planted to mature well before frost when temperatures remain warm.
Here are some vegetable planting suggestions listed with their typical days to harvest. Cool season vegetables such as peas (65), cabbage (85), collards (55), broccoli (65), kale (60), spinach (40), lettuce (60) and endive (45) are good candidates. Root vegetables such as beets (60), carrots (70) and turnips (50) can be planted this month. Even some fruiting vegetables such as bush beans (60) and cucumbers (55) can still be planted if done by mid-July. The very short season radish (30) can be planted into August with success.
Note that peas planted for fall harvest (photo above) are prone to powdery mildew. Choose powdery mildew resistant varieties. Be sure to provide support such as netting stapled on posts (right) for them to climb to insure good air circulation. Often harvests are reduced as compared to spring plantings. I'm willing to gamble on these Oregon Sugar Pod II's because I like snowpeas and have a separate area where the air movement is not blocked by tomatoes or other vegetables.
Planting fall crops in "succession" where other spring crops have been harvested is a way to extend harvests past the first frosts and maximize yields from your garden.

Reflections on Finance and the Good Society
After the financial crisis that began in 2007 many have expressed renewed doubts about the basic goodness of the financial sectors, doubts related to deeply-held moral principles and traditions of larger society. We need to reconcile these doubts with financial practice. We must acknowledge the important principle of reciprocity. We must understand that there are natural human tendencies towards aggression and hoarding, which no financial institutions and codes of ethics can completely eliminate. We must appreciate the important role of professional organizations in moderating these tendencies. When these principles are made part of financial education we can expect better public acceptance of the important role that finance plays in our society.

UFC welterweight prospect Tamdan McCrory, who is currently on a hiatus from fighting while completing his senior year of college, is trying out for the second season of VH1's popular reality show, "The Pickup Artist 2".
Erik von Markovik, who goes by the name "Mystery" on the show, teaches contestants different ways to be able to pick up women in various situations and locations. Each week, one contestant is declared the winner of a challenge and granted immunity from elimination, while another is sent packing
Last season's winner, Alvaro "Kosmo" Orlando, received a grand prize of $50,000 and was given the title of "master pickup artist".
According to McCrory's casting profile, he might very well be exactly the type of person VH1 directors are looking for.
"I need to have the ability to break out of my shell, and be less reserved," McCrory said on his profile. "I'm extremely socially awkward and have lots of anxiety when it comes to women. I usually have to have a few drinks before I can even start talking, and by that time, I just come off as a buzzed idiot. I guess I have a lot to work on."
If interested in helping McCrory get on the show, visit his casting profile. You can vote for him once every 24 hours.

Caribbean Forum (CARIFORUM) countries have been urged to take advantage of the standby facility for capacity building under the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) that was signed with the European Union in 2008.
Addressing a Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) organised Technical Briefing Meeting on the EPA Standby Facility for Capacity Building, Clairvair Squires, said the facility is intended to assist CARIFORUM states by underpinning national institutional capacities
The senior CDB official CARIFORUM countries, comprising the 15-member Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and The Dominican Republic, typically fall short on account of their size and levels of development.
As a result the EPA Standby Facility is expected to shore up the ability of these countries to address a variety of EPA implementation imperatives, against the backdrop of efforts to devise national EPA implementation plans.
The three year EPA Standby Facility of Euro 3.5 million (One Euro =US$1.30 cents) is coming on stream as part of a suite of initiatives financed under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF) that is aimed at lending support to CARIFORUM in the implementation of commitments under the EPA in several areas.
These include fiscal reform and adjustment; sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) programme; technical barriers to trade; services sector and institutional and implementation capacity.
The Regional Private Sector Development Programme (RPSDP), which the Caribbean Export Development Agency (CEDA) manages, is the first initiative to be approved under the 10th EDF EU-CARIFORUM Caribbean Regional Indicative Programme (CRIP).
According to a statement issued by the CARICOM EPA Unit, the objective of Thursday's meeting here was to provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to complete or lead the completion of a results-focused application to the EPA Standby Facility that is in accordance with the Facility's screening and appraisal criteria as well as manage the implementation of an EPA Standby Facility-financed project towards achieving planned outcomes.
It was also intended to help participants prepare proposals for submission to the Facility which, as relevant, address similar capacity building needs of other CARIFORUM states.

I'm trying to find all groups in a site and their users. We don't have access to the server so I can't run any scripts to get that information. I know how to find all the groups but the page shows them by 30, which slows me down if I need to do a quick search. Is there anyway I can change it to get all the groups to display on one page. Or if anyone knows of a way I can get all the groups and users from the front-end, that would be pretty amazing also. I know AvePoint has some software that would make all this a million time easier, it's just not an option for me right now.

LBS is an excellent choice for MBA hopefuls who have international experience, a goal to work in London or other parts of Europe, or just an interest in attending school outside the US.
LBS has a slim set of required questions. It will be a challenge for you to present everything you may want about your career, extracurriculars and personal attributes. Make sure you formulate a clear game plan for this set of essays so you can maximize the questions and the space permitted to make your case for admission.
Essay 1
What are your post-MBA plans and how will your past experience and the London Business School programme contribute? (500 words)
Most MBA applicants are pursuing the degree for a specific career goal post-MBA, but if you need a bit more reflection to answer this question it is worth doing the work. Self-awareness about your strengths and interests will help you refine what you want. To take your research deeper it could be helpful to talk to colleagues and alumni who have MBAs in your field to identify your career path options. Make sure that your career goals are both realistic and aspirational. An MBA will certainly open doors for you, and also may define a specific career path.
Your past experiences have certainly informed your post-MBA plans, and touching on those most relevant will be helpful to setting the background for your current pursuit of an MBA. To make this essay more than a rehash of your resume, think about explaining the rationale for your decisions throughout the essay. Why did you pursue your past experience and what has been the impetus behind subsequent career choices? At this point, why are you choosing LBS? If space permits, you will want to discuss the question of timing – why you have made the choice to pursue an MBA at this time, and why you want to attend LBS now.
Essay 2
What specific areas of London Business School life are you most excited about getting involved in and where will you add value? (300 words)
This essay is an opportunity to demonstrate passion for the school, London, activities and the community. Thorough research will be crucial here, whether online or in person. Consider both the academic community and the extracurricular communities. Reaching out to the clubs and organizations you are most interested in may allow you to interact with current students who can provide context for you. Visiting LBS would be an invaluable experience to feel the excitement in person.
To be most effective in answering this question you will want to be specific and logical in your choices of activities you will impact. What activities make the most sense in the context of your career and industry interests? What about your hobbies? Any community involvement you are currently pursuing and plan to continue could start to demonstrate your value to the groups you plan to join or lead at LBS.
International experience may be another area that is important to the LBS community and where you can add value. LBS is seeking applicants who are well traveled and thoughtful about cultural differences beyond their home countries. If you focus on your international background make sure you are able to explain what you have learned from interacting with cultures that are not your own, and relate your experiences back to what you will bring to LBS.
Optional Essay
Is there any other information you believe the Admissions Committee should know about you and your application to London Business School? (300 words)
This essay can be used to explain possible weaknesses in your application like a low GPA or GMAT score, or could be another opportunity to reveal an aspect of your candidacy that has not been covered in the previous questions.
If you use this space to explain a less than stellar aspect of your candidacy make sure you are offering explanations and not excuses. Keep all background information succinct and factual (no whining!) and explain the concrete steps you have taken to improve your candidacy and to be ready for an MBA programme like LBS.
If you are in the enviable position of having nothing to explain, this open-ended question would be a great opportunity to touch on a personal story or add color to your career goals. This could be the ideal place to describe a unique background, experience or attribute that did not fit elsewhere in the application.

UCLA Anderson is a small and close-knit school with particular focus on entrepreneurship, entertainment, real estate and other major industries in Southern California. While UCLA has a dominant position in the region it is also a nationally known program that will position you well in whatever career you pursue.
Anderson can be selective about the composition of each MBA class, therefore your fit with the values and principles of the school is of primary importance. When approaching this set of essays make sure you understand what Anderson will do for you and what you plan to bring to the community.
We have helped countless applicants achieve their UCLA Anderson dreams. Contact us to learn how Stacy Blackman Consulting can help you.
Required Essay
We believe that the best results are achieved when you share success, think fearlessly and drive change. With this in mind, what are your goals at UCLA Anderson and in your short-term and long-term career? (750 words maximum)
UCLA Anderson's values are embodied by "share success, think fearlessly and drive change" and by demonstrating that you possess those qualities you will be demonstrating your fit with UCLA Anderson. Thorough school research will provide examples you can use to describe why these values and principles drive your goals while attending UCLA Anderson. Your career goals should be examined through the filter of Anderson's values and how you plan to use those values in your post-Anderson life.
When structuring this essay consider telling one or two pivotal stories to illuminate who you are. UCLA is looking for personal expression in this essay, and to understand how you are different from other applicants. Consider the turning points or moments that triggered reflection for you. Have you experienced a significant personal setback? What is your family background? Have you lived outside your home country? When did you face a turning point or make a big decision about your career? What were some of your proudest accomplishments? What moments have called upon your need to collaborate, lead or innovate?
For the second part of the essay briefly explain what you plan to do immediately after graduation, and then what you want to accomplish over the long-term with your career. A career path that focuses on demonstrated passions and interests throughout your life is going to be most compelling as you write this essay and each section should bridge seamlessly into the next.
For the part of the essay focusing on UCLA Anderson's part in your plans, UCLA specifically requests citing specific classes, professors and programs. To express a bit more on the personal side it will be helpful to include the social and extracurricular aspects that attract you to the small and close-knit experience at Anderson. Be specific as you discuss the clubs and conferences that are unique to the UCLA MBA.
Optional Essay
Are there any extenuating circumstances in your profile about which the Admissions Committee should be aware? (250 words maximum)
It is important to focus on explanations rather than excuses in this essay. Potential extenuating circumstances may be a very low GPA, academic probation or using a recommender other than your current supervisor. Clearly explain the situation, and if it is a situation from the past, explain why you have changed. Providing evidence that you will not repeat the actions in question will help to solidify your answer.

Tuesday Tips: Chicago Booth Fall 2016 MBA Essay Tips

Chicago Booth School of Business is consistently rated in the top echelon of MBA programs in the United States and is known for a strong intellectual community. This application is designed to evaluate candidates on their ability to handle the Chicago curriculum, contribute to the community, and grow in their careers. This year Chicago has asked an entirely new essay question, focused specifically on the Chicago Booth community and your fit within it.
Academic ability will largely be communicated through your GPA/GMAT, transcripts and other fixed data points, though intellectual curiosity can be demonstrated in the essays and the interview. Along with academics, Chicago will be looking for demonstrated leadership, team building skills and community involvement, as well as your fit with Chicago Booth and the perspective you will share with your classmates.
Consider how to work in leadership and work accomplishments into your application. Certainly you can use the essay to discuss both in the context of community, or you may be able to use your resume and certainly the interview.
Essay Prompt
Chicago Booth values individuality because of what we can learn from the diverse experiences and perspectives of others. This mutual respect creates an open-minded community that supports curiosity, inspires us to think more broadly, take risks, and challenge assumptions. At Booth, community is about collaborative thinking and tapping into each other's different viewpoints to cultivate new ideas and realize breakthrough moments every day.
Using one of the photos below, tell us how it resonates with your own viewpoint on why the Booth community is the right fit for you.
Essay Guidelines
Choose the format that works for you. Feel free to submit a traditional essay, slide presentation or any format that you feel best captures your response. Please use the format you feel most comfortable with, the Admissions Committee has no preference.
Determine your own length. There is no prescribed minimum or maximum length. We trust that you will use your best judgment in determining how long your submission should be, but we recommend that you think strategically about how to best allocate the space.
The new Chicago Booth essay question gives you a set of photos depicting a range of student activities at Booth – from the classroom to experiencing the city of Chicago – and asks you to choose one that illustrates why Chicago Booth is the right community for you.
Your first step is to do as much school research as possible on Chicago. Visit campus. Attend events. Speak to alumni. Read the admissions blog. Whatever you are capable of doing to experience the community for yourself before starting your application will be invaluable as you set pen to paper.
Chicago Booth's open-ended essay format may be daunting. Whether you choose to write an essay or prepare a presentation, take a step back from the unique format and think about the question strategically. The format's agnostic setup simply gives you the freedom to express who you are in words, images, graphics or some combination.
The best essays will be simple, evocative and expressive. Remember, content is far more important than visual drama of presentation. Stacy Blackman Consulting has significant experience coaching applicants through the Chicago creative essay. Contact us to learn more about our strategic approach.
As your one opportunity to showcase why Chicago Booth is the right place for you to pursue an MBA, consider the photo that resonates most specifically with you. If it's a classroom photo, make sure you cover additional elements that may not be obvious at first like the interaction between students depicted, along with the professor and learning aspects.
Keep in mind what Chicago Booth represents in whatever option you choose. Booth is a school with a tradition of intellectual rigor, non-conformity, and innovation. When you introduce yourself to Chicago Booth you can share anything from any context, from work to home to extracurricular activities.
If you decide to write an essay response, you have enough space to tell a story that describes something new about yourself. If you decide to prepare a PowerPoint in response to this essay question, refine your story to its key elements. To keep a visual essay interesting and high-impact, consider how you will format. Can you use photos? Drawings? If you use words, keep them clear and focused. Take every point up a level, so you are communicating a vision rather than a thesis.

Tuesday Tips: Northwestern Kellogg MBA Essay Tips

Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management is a close-knit community that values leadership and teamwork. At the same time, diversity in experience, background and thought is important to the Kellogg admissions committee.
Do your research on the programs, activities, clubs, classes and professors at Kellogg as you approach your essays. While you are reading and conversing with students and alumni, envision how you will contribute to the community.
Kellogg has two mandatory video essays as part of the application process. After you submit your essays you will receive the questions, one of which will focus on Why Kellogg and another will be a general "getting to know you" question. The video essay is an opportunity for the admissions committee to see the person behind the accomplishments you will describe.
Prepare as if you would for an interview, drafting the topics you want to cover and practicing your presentation. The video should accurately portray your personality and demeanor, and extensive preparation will help you be comfortable and be yourself.
Video essays can be daunting, and Stacy Blackman Consulting has developed customized preparation to help you practice for this important component of the application and provide our expert feedback. Contact us to learn more about how we can prepare you for the entire Kellogg application.
Essay 1
Leadership and teamwork are integral parts of the Kellogg experience. Describe a recent and meaningful time you were a leader. What challenges did you face, and what did you learn? (450 words)
This essay focuses on leadership and teamwork using a behavioral essay framework. By seeing the details about exactly what you did and said in your leadership story, Kellogg admissions will understand how you are likely to perform in the future. When approaching this essay spend some time on set up to explain the background, and then use the majority of the space describing specifically what you did, thought, felt and how you behaved.
As the question specifically asks about challenges, it will be useful to show how you have overcome difficulty as a leader or learned from a tough situation. Don't be nervous about showing weakness here. Every leader has to learn and develop, and willingness to be open to feedback and improve will be an asset to your profile.
Do not neglect mentioning teamwork, which is a core value of Kellogg's culture. Your leadership experience is likely part of a team at work or in an extracurricular activity, and sensitivity to teamwork and collaboration in any leadership story demonstrates maturity and people skills.
Essay 2
Pursuing an MBA is a catalyst for personal and professional growth. How have you grown in the past? How do you intend to grow at Kellogg? (450 words)
This essay question is a hybrid of a classic career goals essay and a personal essay. Kellogg is interested in candidates who are able to integrate their personal and professional goals and show how a Kellogg MBA will serve both sides of life.
When you describe professional and personal growth in the past, make sure it is relevant to your plans to pursue an MBA at Kellogg. The story you tell in this essay should provide insight into your decision to pursue an MBA and allude to your future goals. Because this isn't a question about your entire career thus far you can choose just one or two main experiences to share.
The topic of this essay should also be an experience that did show growth over time. Something like starting in an entry level position at work and progressing into a management role comes to mind easily, but also consider something like developing leadership skills over time and personal investment in your career. You could also focus on a passion outside of work that has developed over time and led to personal growth.
Dual-degree Applicants
For applicants to the MMM or JD-MBA dual degree programs, please explain why that program is right for you. (250 words)
Doing your research on Kellogg MBA's academics and resources will help you answer the question about why you need a dual degree to achieve your goals. If you are applying to the MMM program, you'll have to show how the degree will prepare you more effectively for your career goals than the MBA alone.
Be able to articulate what is different about the Kellogg MMM program as compared to the MBA and other joint degrees. Know the classes you want to take, the professors you hope to work for, and how the MMM experience will be an asset in your future career.
Similarly, the JD-MBA at Kellogg is a highly competitive admissions process and will require a very clear explanation of what you will do with both degrees after school. Consider the unique attributes of the Kellogg JD-MBA program as compared to others, and also why you specifically need both a JD and an MBA.
Re-Applicants Only
Since your previous application, what steps have you taken to strengthen your candidacy? (250 word limit)
In answering this question make sure you provide tangible evidence that you have improved the overall package you are submitting this year. Improvements like GMAT score or new quantitative classes are especially tangible, but a promotion, increase in responsibility at work, a job change or even a change of goals and mission can apply.
Additional Information (Optional)
If needed, use this section to briefly describe any extenuating circumstances (e.g. unexplained gaps in work experience, choice of recommenders, inconsistent or questionable academic performance, etc.) (no word count)
If there are any areas of concern, this is the correct place to address them. Strike an upbeat tone here and avoid excuses. Explain your issue clearly and focus most of the essay on the correction for the issue. For example, if you had a disciplinary issue in college, spend most of the essay demonstrating that you learned from the experience and have been an ideal citizen ever since.
Low GPA issues should be explained here, and if there is a grade of C or below on your transcript the admissions committee will want to know why and feel comfortable it is an outlier in your overall academic record. For academic questions make sure you emphasize your improved performance either later in your college career or in subsequent work or classes since college.

While reading Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy, this passage, which concerns the rules Catholic missionaries established for the education and civilization of Indians, appears and makes me wonder:
I even recall one missionary used to ring a bell at midnight to remind the [Indians] to perform their marital duties. Because it would have never occurred to them to do so.This is twisted in so many ways. What kind of mind imagines natives who are so disorderly that they even need this instruction, this command: Now is the time to fuck?

I would never stay at this place as the hotel is run down and not maintained. Rooms smell like cigarette smoke and the bathroom door was coming apart. The room door did not lock well and I placed a chair under the door knob to make it more secure.

When Pastor Joe Wittwer visited Iglesia Elim in Armenia, El Salvador, he saw the massive needs and wanted to help. He had already formed a close bond with Elim's husband and wife pastoral team, Frank and Paty Ardon. Despite gang warfare in the neighborhood, they were partnering with Compassion International to provide weekly care for more than 300 children and their families.
The burgeoning six-day a week ministry had forced them to add a separate building on the church grounds. But the mortgage wasn't cheap. At $500 a month (on a total mortgage of $18,000), the church was struggling to make ends meet.
A group of women helped offset the costs by making tamales and selling them in town for 25 cents apiece, but that only netted about $140 a month. Joe Wittwer's church, Life Center in Spokane, Washington, wanted to help their new friends in El Salvador, but they weren't sure how.
In the past, the pattern would have been for Wittwer and his church to swoop in and start paying the monthly mortgage, or just write a check for $18,000 to get rid of the mortgage altogether.
But that kind of "help" often ended up having negative unintended consequences. The North American churches, loaded with money, were cast as the saviors or experts sent to rescue the helpless "junior" partners. While this approach might solve a short-term problem, it rarely produced long-term solutions or fostered healthy relationships.
Now, a "Church to Church" (C2C) initiative, developed by Compassion International and the Willow Creek Association (WCA), is attempting to help churches avoid these past pitfalls by promoting genuine cross-cultural church partnerships.
C2C is simple: Compassion International matches a WCA church from North America with a church that's running a Compassion program in a village in India, Ethiopia, El Salvador, Peru, Bolivia, Uganda, Kenya, Haiti, or the Philippines.
Compassion International provides training that helps the churches avoid one-sided, dependent relationships that are based on giving money and fixing problems rather than building friendships and finding ways for ministry to flow in both directions.
Such partnerships aren't easy. Differences in language, expectations, communication, and distances (which sometimes span 11 time zones) can create profound misunderstandings. Despite these barriers, C2C has initiated 65 of these globally, and another 40 church partnerships are planned by the end of 2011.
As friendships have blossomed, the churches in India, El Salvador and Ethiopia are helping their American partners learn (and unlearn) what they know about the gospel, discipleship, community, and the mission of the church.
I talked with six participating pastors about what they've learned.
Spiritual vitality around the globe
First, the American pastors are seeing first-hand the spiritual vitality of churches across the globe. The older, traditional model of global church partnerships assumed that churches in the "developing world" were spiritually weak and missionally ineffective. But the American C2C partners I interviewed consistently praised the spiritual vitality of their global partners. For instance, consider these two international churches:
Church A consists of one church meeting in 16 locations. They have a well-defined mission: "To glorify God by making disciples." With a clear, three-step process for making disciples, they've mastered the "simple church" concept.
Church B launched a creative, organic farming business that supports their outreach to children and families. The word around town is that if you're ever in trouble, you can run to Church B and you'll find love and safety.

By Kelly Mill -
This is the true story of six strangers working against the clock on a serious, real-world problem. Find out what happens when people transform their usual approaches by applying intellect, strategy, and collaboration to a complex global health issue.
Yes, it is true: the University of Virginia Global Health Case Competition has yet to make an appearance on MTV's coveted Real World programming. However, as the competition returns for its second year at UVa, it promises intrigue and suspense, but via intellectual stimulation.
The case competition is grounded in innovation and collaboration. Colleen Laurence and Pranay Sinha met at Emory's 2012 Global Health Case Competition—Sinha as a participant representing UVa and Laurence as an organizer. When Laurence came to UVa, the two pitched their idea for a UVa competition to the Center for Global Health's Director, Dr. Rebecca Dillingham, and in February 2013, their ideas and hard work came to fruition with the first competition.
When it comes to creating the case, Laurence and Sinha emphasized the importance of addressing an issue that necessitates plurality of thought. That is why the Center for Global Health encourages students from all schools of the University to apply to compete. The multiple ideas and expertise of members of a team coalesce, which heightens the resolution of their problem-solving lens as they approach the case.
The competition officially began this Monday, February 24th at 5 PM when the 16 competing teams received the case. Past experiences of participants suggest that current teams may feel overwhelmed. When prompted to recall his reactions as a participant during the week of preparation, Sinha described this overwhelming sentiment: "It was as though I was drinking out of a fire hydrant."
As the week of competition progresses, the case continues to challenge the intellectual limits of the participants. Sinha described how his team's "Eureka!" moment did not happen until the night before the presentation. Sreemoyee Som, a member of the winning team at UVa's first case competition, recounted the commotion prior to their final presentation; they had to awake and summon a team member who had returned home, convinced that the team would not advance.
These anecdotes show the excitement that surrounds the competition, and at the end of the week, the participants' struggles evolve into something beautiful—a thoughtful, novel, and passionate answer to an emerging and problematic global health issue.
This competition showcases what is possible when we abandon our own assumptions and sharpen our collaborative skills. Laurence described exciting plans to expand the lessons learned from the case competition, which include inspiring an "educational modality that can be used across the University."
Whether you choose to attend the case competition this Saturday, March 1st from 12:30-7 PM as a spectator, participant, judge, or case writer, the brilliance that blossoms from this unique, inter-disciplinary opportunity will not disappoint.

Obama Names Richardson to Commerce Post
President-elect Barack Obama named New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as his commerce secretary at a news conference Wednesday morning, adding the first Latino to his fast-filling cabinet.
Talking optimistically despite the recession, Mr. Obama said, "We have everything we need to renew our economy, we have the ingenuity and technology, the skill and commitment -- we just need to put it to work."
The president-elect called Mr. Richardson a leading "economic diplomat for America. During his time in state government and Congress, and in two tours of duty in the Cabinet, Bill has seen from just about every angle what makes our economy work and what keeps it from working better." (Read the full text of Obama's prepared remarks.)
Obama's Advisers
See some of the people expected to join the new administration.
Mr. Richardson, 61 years old, was United Nations ambassador and energy secretary during the Clinton administration, and currently in his second term as New Mexico's governor. He also served seven terms in the House of Representatives.
One of the nation's most prominent Hispanic politicians, Mr. Richardson pledged -- in English and Spanish -- to work to renew the economy.
Mr. Richardson had been a leading contender for secretary of state, but Mr. Obama ultimately chose Sen. Hillary Clinton for the job in a bid to heal the rifts created by the Democrats' hard-fought primary battle. With Mr. Richardson's nomination, that effort continues. He broke with the Clintons in March when he endorsed Mr. Obama at the height of the primary fight.
Latino and business groups praised the selection of Mr. Richardson, whose appointment requires Senate confirmation. Bruce Josten, chief lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said that as head of U.S. trade missions globally, Mr. Richardson will be able to tap his extensive foreign-policy experience and his acquaintance with foreign leaders to help pry open new markets for struggling U.S. exporters.
Latino groups had pushed hard for Mr. Richardson's nomination to head the State Department, arguing that a strong Hispanic turnout had delivered Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico to Mr. Obama, and had helped him win Virginia as well.
Janet Murguia, president of the National Council of La Raza, the country's largest Latino organization, acknowledged "some sense of anxiety" last week when it became clear Sen. Clinton would be nominated to head the State Department and Mr. Richardson hadn't been named as commerce secretary when Mr. Obama announced other members of his economic team.
Ms. Murguia said Latinos are pleased that Mr. Richardson will be in the cabinet, and that he will be running the department that will oversee the 2010 census. Minority groups have long contended that the Census Bureau has been undercounting their ranks and have pushed for more-sophisticated statistical sampling to improve accuracy in census-taking.
The Commerce Department's domain is large and diverse. It includes the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which tracks the gross domestic product; the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which conducts basic research; and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Obama transition team has named La Raza's top lobbyist, Cecilia Munoz, to a senior White House staff position. And Rep. Raul Grijalva (D., Ariz.) is a finalist for interior secretary.
Traditionally, the commerce secretary slot has gone to business executives, especially those who provided financial backing for the president's election bid. The current secretary, Carlos M. Gutierrez, had been chief executive of cereal giant Kellogg Co. President George W. Bush's first commerce secretary, Don Evans, was an oil-services company executive and one of the leaders of Mr. Bush's campaign team in 2000.
With Mr. Richardson's nomination, Mr. Obama will have settled on seven of his 15 department secretaries. He has nominated Susan Rice to be his U.N. ambassador and said the position will be re-elevated to cabinet rank, as when Mr. Richardson held the post.

His bull Foulden Hill McCoy was third in the Honda
Motorcycles Impact Sires led class and went on to sell for
$9000 to Nelson Hereford stud Lake Station.
Mr Gibson (20), a third-year student at Lincoln University
studying agricultural commerce, also received the Hereford
herdsman award.
Among the criteria for the award were the exhibitor's animal
handling skills, personal appearance, marketing and knowledge
of their animal, and how they presented their stalls.
Being a first-time exhibitor, Mr Gibson was pleased to get
his ''name out there'' and to sell his bull to another stud.
He described Foulden Hill McCoy as a ''clear standout'' from
a small herd. The bull paraded very well, had a great
softness of carcass and had ''quite a bit of power'' while
still a moderately framed animal.
Mr Gibson bought two heifers at the sale from the Clements'
family's Matapouri stud in Northland.

The climate conference in Durban has led some observers to conclude that developed countries are engaged in a form of apartheid against the rest of the world. But Nnimmo Bassey hopes negotiators will heed the voices of the people.
Issues / Democracy & Governance
The capture of CIA sources in Beirut represents a coup for Hezbollah.
Despite repeated expressions of support by President Barack Obama for democratic change during the "Arab Spring", the United States remains widely distrusted in the region, according to a major new survey of public opinion in five Arab countries released here Monday.
Colombia, traditionally Washington's best ally in the region, is cozying up to Brazil and building a solid commercial, financial and political network with its neighbor while Washington becomes more and more isolated as a result of the geopolitical restructuring taking place globally and regionally.
Sometimes, just when you least expect it, symbolism steps right up and coldcocks you. So how about this headline for - in the spirit of our last president - ushering America's withdrawal from Iraq right over the nearest symbolic cliff: "U.S. empties biggest Iraq base, takes Saddam's toilet." They're talking about Victory Base, formerly - again in the spirit of thoroughly malevolent symbolism - Camp Victory, the enormous American military base that sits at the edge of Baghdad International Airport and that we were never going to leave.
The U.S. will likely leave Syria to the Arab League and avoid pressing SCAF over transparency in the upcoming Egyptian elections.
The problem here is "governance failure." Or maybe we should just call it "decadence." The United States may at this point be so weakened by rot and ideology that it is unable even to act in its own interests, let alone the interests of its people, let alone the interests of humanity as a whole.
Funding for agricultural development - some US$7.7 billion worth - would be directed in large part to genetically modified crop research. In other words, food aid policy for the first time mandates the use of genetic modification technologies.
The nuclear threat, organizers say, extends beyond Tohoku, even beyond Japan. And indeed, this is the message that has been heard around the world, as the anti-nuke protest and politics were staged with specific reference to Fukushima (sadly, rarely with respect to the wider Tohoku region).
The Obama administration refuses to make military aid to Egypt contingent upon the degree to which it embraces democracy.

The first Subway Series of the season ends when the New York Mets face the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Sunday Night Baseball.
Here are some of the statistical storylines the broadcast crew of Dan Shulman, Curt Schilling and John Kruk will likely be talking about starting at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPN.
Both teams are at least tied for first place in their respective divisions, and the Elias Sports Bureau says this is the first time the teams will meet when that is the case. The Mets have not been in first place at the time of a Subway Series since 2007.
The Mets are 14-4, tied for the best 18-game start in franchise history. The only other time they started 14-4 was 1986, when they won the World Series.
The Mets have won seven of the past 10 meetings with the Yankees.
Mets' Duda connecting on breaking balls in 2015
First baseman Lucas Duda is seeing the same amount of fastballs from left-handers as he did last season, but he's not missing breaking balls as frequently this season. He has missed 22 percent of his swings against breaking balls from left-handers this season compared to 53 percent last season.
Duda is swinging at these pitches more often (43 percent this season, 31 percent last season).
Defensively, the Mets have benefited from Juan Lagares' range. He has made the catch on 190 plays out of his zone the past three seasons, third most in the majors among center fielders behind Leonys Martin and Carlos Gomez. (A center fielder's zone is where at least 50 percent of center fielders make the catch.)
Fastball betrays Yankees starter Eovaldi
Nathan Eovaldi's fastball has averaged 95.3 mph in his career as a starter. Opponents are hitting .285 against him in his starts when an at-bat ends with his fastball. Last season, the major league average was .252 in at-bats ending with a 95-plus mph fastball.
Eovaldi gets strikeouts in 12 percent of at-bats ending with his fastball, compared with the 20 percent rate across all the majors last season in at-bats ending with a 95-plus fastball.
In at-bats that end on a fastball when Eovaldi is behind in the count, opponents hit .353 and slug .537 against him, which is in line with the major league averages for that situation.
The real trouble is when Eovaldi is ahead in the count. When an at-bat ends on a fastball when he's ahead in the count, opponents hit .226 and slug .279. The major league averages last season for 95-plus fastballs in this situation were .177 and .248.
Among pitchers who have made 80 or more starts since 2011, Eovaldi has the second-lowest average run support in the majors (3.38 runs per game).
Yankees' bullpen staying busy
The Yankees' bullpen ranks seventh in innings pitched and tied for second in innings pitched per game (63 innings, 3 2/3 innings per game).
The Yankees had 13 games in which they needed at least seven outs from their bullpen.
Rodriguez's long balls going a long way
Alex Rodriguez has hit four home runs this season and is two home runs from matching Willie Mays (660) for fourth on the all-time list.
The average true distance of Rodriguez's home runs, as calculated by ESPN's Stats & Information Group, is 424.8 feet. That's second-farthest among the 62 players with at least three home runs (Edwin Encarnacion, 429.5 feet).

Wallabies coach Robbie Deans has floated the idea of rotating
players during the Super Rugby season to limit their
workloads as the ARU seeks to increase communication and
co-operation with the franchises over player development.
NSW mentor Michael Cheika and Brumbies coach Jake White admit
the idea is not without merit but agree Australia's Super
Rugby sides need to be compensated if they are left without
their top players - and each province's bottom line is
Cheika said he was confident in the Waratahs' ability to
manage their players' workloads successfully but was happy to
discuss the proposal.
"If that is the way the ARU decide to go, then they need to
come up with some financial security and assurances," Cheika
told AAP.
"I am the coach of this province and I will do whatever it
takes for this province to be successful.
"I understand that everyone is looking after their own kind
but, at the end of the day, if this province is successful,
that will help Australia be successful.
"The thing that surprises me a little bit is only the week
before, we had a high performance meeting with all the states
and all the provinces and this thing wasn't brought up at all
and, the next week, it is in the papers.
"It's not the best way for me to find out about it."
Former South African coach White said the health of Super
Rugby could not be compromised by the ARU.
"We're willing as a franchise to help where we can," he said.
"But at the same time, the ARU are mindful of the fact that
(chief executive) John O'Neill said this time last year that
it is up to the teams to get bums on seats and make sure
their teams win.
"We have to find the balance on both of those."
Cheika has experience with a similar system of resting and
rotating players while coaching Irish province Leinster.
He encouraged a system of increased communication and trust
between all of Australia's Super Rugby sides and the
governing body over player workloads.
"Anyone running a professional programme is managing their
players," Cheika said.
"I have already got a 12-month block set up for my players as
to what they have been doing for the last 12 months and where
they are going for the next 12 months and anyone not doing
that is naive.
"There needs to be that trust between the provinces and the
"Participate or dictate, that is the choice they will take as
a governing body.
"I'm a 'newbie' - maybe they don't trust me. I just have to
get the runs on the board."

I just started working for a client after they had a messy breakup with their previous web designer. I'm relatively new to wordpress, but I've been getting along fine for the most part. Just one thing I can't figure out:
One page on the site that I need to edit (A registration form) uses
<iframe src="https://subdomain.domain.com/registration-form" width="100%" height="1500px" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>
but I can't find the page it's referencing anywhere. I assume it's also serviced through WordPress because it displays old Events, but it's definitely not in my Pages tab. I need to change the events, because they're a year old. Simply editing the current ones does not change the page.
Any ideas? Thanks.
